Abstract
We consider the equations of general relativity in free space in the l inear approximation. Non-stationary moving solutions for these equatio ns, which are localized and have finite energy, are explicitly constru cted. The energy of the localized wave is shown to be proportional to its internal frequency and can represent a massive quantum particle 'm ade' of gravitational energy.
