1939/1945 - UFOs IN THE WAR

UFO sightings during World War II are divided into two distinct groups : typical sightings of the phenomenon and what the pilots flying over Europe called foo-fighters.

Between 1939 and 1945, all types of encounters are witnessed throughout the world, including those with contact, and will be found in the media after 1947. The UFO phenomenon occurs in the regions at war as well as in others and is not at all affected by combat, which it does not play a part in. Some of the best sightings before 1947 were made during the war, whether they were made by pilots or by ground civilians. There are even some photos, unfortunately not very precise, among which most were taken by some Japanese in China (strangely, one of them by the way has been presented everywhere as having been taken on the European front...).

The foo-fighters represent a much more particular aspect which relates them to, for example, "green lights" which later were going to fly over secret military installations in the south-west of the USA and study the Project Twinkle in the early 1950s. Starting in 1943, English and American pilots fighting against the Germans report sighting small balls of white light following their planes and sometimes even making its way into the bomber, as if to observe them from up close. For them, they were German secret weapons. However, they do not know that the Luftwaffe pilots also saw them and thought they were from the Allies secret weapons... At the end of the war, the foo-fighters will also appear at the theater of operations of the Pacific. When fighting ceases, similar cases become very rare.

Finally, some authors still try to prove that the "flying saucers" are in fact Nazi secret weapons. If this hypothesis could hold together in 1947, when we did not know the extraordinary antiquity of the UFO phenomon, it was no longer suitable from the beginning of the 1950s, whatever were the technical achievements of Werner von Braum and the scientists working with him.
