WWII Foo Fighters — Allied Pilot Reports
◎Rhine Valley, Germany / Western Europe
Allied aircrews flying combat missions over Europe beginning in late 1944 reported glowing orange and white orbs that paced their aircraft, performed rapid maneuvers, and resisted interception. Declassified USAAF and RAF intelligence files confirm systematic reporting across multiple squadrons. OSS and USAAF intelligence ultimately ruled out German or Japanese origin.
