Foo fighter

Foo fighter

"Foo Fighter" was the term used by Second World War Allied pilots to describe encounters with unusual unidentified flying objects (UFO's). The sighting of these strange phenomena were not uncommon, and at the time they were commonly believed to be some sort of Nazi secret weapon. It was not however a Nazi weapon and German (and Japanese), pilots were just as puzzled by the appearance of these strange object as the allied pilots were.

The reports of Foo Fighter encounters and the description of them and their behaviour was remarkably consistent. They were invariably described as spherical and glowing often described as a silvery or fiery ball, or "like Christmas tree lights". The colour usually described as white, red or an orange colour somewhere between the two.The reports of the encounters were taken extremely seriously by the military authorities of the time, and case-presentations were made by authoritative scientists of the period such as David Griggs, Luis Alvarez and H.P. Robertson. The phenomenon has never been properly explained, and much government information regarding Foo Fighters remains secret.
