- 2011, Hans Wachtmeister, edited by Herman Fältström, Ytspänning: Ett seminarium om det kalla krigets verklighet [Surface tension: a seminar about the reality of the Cold War], →ISBN, page 12:
- Att vi i Sverige så påtagligt upplevde det kalla kriget måste nog tillskrivas det djupa intryck hos allmänheten, som 1980- och 1990-talens ubåtsincidenter skapade. Här skapade man framför allt i media en bild av främmande ubåtar, minifarkoster och närmast ufos, som utan motstånd trafikerade våra farvatten.
- The fact that we felt the Cold War so tangibly in Sweden should probably be attributed to the deep public impression created by the submarine incidents of the 1980s and 1990s. Here, the media in particular created a picture of foreign submarines, mini vessels and almost UFOs, that travelled through our waters unimpeded.
- (slang, derogatory) a weirdo
