FOO FIGHTERS [7e]
In his 1993 book, The Gods of Eden, author William Bramley theorized that extraterrestrials played a part in nearly every catastrophe in human history, and have even used war as a means to control the growth of the human population. But while many are skeptical about Bramley’s claims, there is one thing on which they agree – that the number of reported UFO sightings always increases during wartime.

“In times of war, when vast civilizations are in conflict, and in conflict so terrible that it seems as though the civilizations will wipe themselves out, suddenly out of nowhere, UFOs appear.” – Bill Birnes, J.D., Ph.D. |
While skeptics and military historians attribute these alleged sightings to war nerves or stress, those who believe in UFOs find the number of instances hard to dismiss. When World War II broke out in September of 1939, there were numerous reports of unidentified flying objects spotted over Hitler’s Germany. Although the term ‘UFO’ had not yet been coined, the Allies believed the bogeys, as they were then known, were new fighter planes being developed by the Nazis. But the first combat bomber jets, the German Messerschmitt ME-262, weren’t deployed by the German Air Force until 1943.

“It certainly doesn’t escape notice just how advanced the Nazi propulsion systems and their aeronautics technology really was. They had the first operational jet fighter to see combat. They were building and test-flying aircraft that look incredibly similar to UFOs that are reported even today. They had greatly advanced rocket technology. There have long been rumors about Nazi projects to build aircraft using UFO technology.” – Chris Pittman (UFO Investigator) |

“At the end of the 19th-century, there was Aleister Crowley, H.G. Wells, Bram Stoker, who wrote Dracula, and Jules Verne, who wrote From Earth to the Moon. They were in a society called The Golden Dawn. In that society, they actually believed in the existence, not only of UFOs, but extraterrestrials. That culture influenced Hitler in the late 1920s, early into the 1930s. In looking for the origins of the Aryan Race, they went all the way to India and the Vedic texts, which talk about UFOs. So, Hitler, in his own way, was a UFO believer, and sought to develop his own version of a UFO, based on the Vedic texts. To have a dramatic Wunderwaffe, a wonder weapon, that would end the war.” – Bill Birnes, J.D., Ph.D. |
Although the Nazis never developed this so-called wonder weapon, reports of strange flying machines in German airspace continued throughout the war. But just what was it that the Allied pilots were reporting?
|
“In the 1940s, as waves of American bombers were literally obliterating German cities – Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin – in these raids, American fighter pilots saw these balls of light coming at their planes. They didn’t know what they were. They thought they were German secret weapons at first. So, they called them Foo Fighters. The word feu in French is fire, and these were balls of fire coming out. So, instead of Feu Fighters, they were Foo Fighters.” – Bill Birnes, J.D., Ph.D. |
|
“They were seen in large numbers over Germany and over Western Europe, where they were described variously as structured craft, or simply, balls of light.” – Chris Pittman (UFO Investigator) |
|
“It was so important the time that time that the military began to notice it, and they began to investigate these things. There were hundreds of cases. None seemed to be very harmful to planes. But they were all over the place.” – George Noory (Radio Host, Coast to Coast AM) |
Curiously, when the Foo Fighters appeared, Allied aircraft would sometimes experience mechanical failure. And perhaps most mystifying of all was that some pilots reported flying right through the UFOs, as if they had no mass. It was never discovered what the Foo Fighters were or where they came from, but the theory that they were some sort of German secret weapon was widely accepted among Allied pilots at the time. But could the Third Reich have possessed technology more advanced than even our most modern aircraft? Some believed that what the Nazis had developed was an advanced mechanism that scientists are still working on today – mercury powered anti-gravity technology.
|
“This involves mercury being in a closed system, like a glass bulb. Once that mercury becomes spinning in a gyroscopic manner within a closed system, that creates a lift. It’s electrified lift, it’s also a very bright light. And in fact, many UFOs are described as exactly that. Towards the end of World War II, the Germans started producing massive amounts of mercury. And in fact, a number of the U-boats that were later sunk – one was sunk near Singapore, another in Norway – only a few years ago, they actually found it, and its entire cargo was mercury. What the few historians have actually written about Foo Fighters, which is still apparently a secret today, is they were a kind of mercury plasma ball. And the purpose of the Foo Fighters was to make a highly pulsed magnetic charge and field around the bombers, which would then cut out the engines and interfere with the electrical systems in the planes.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
Could Foo Fighters really have been based on extraterrestrial technology? If so, where did the Germans get it? UFO theorists point to the discovery of a flying saucer that allegedly crashed in the Black Forest, near Freiburg, Germany in 1936. Some believe, German scientists repaired the craft to test its energy and propulsion systems, and through reverse engineering were able to replicate some of these so-called alien technologies.
|
“Did the Nazis take this craft, and was there some sort of a pact that happened there? Did the Nazis – did they retrieve bodies? It’s hard to pin down how much they had. Was there contact?” – L.A. Marzulli (Author, The Alien Interviews), (Nephilim Trilogy) |
|
“There’s always been that theory – that they had a captured craft, and that they were reverse engineering it. It’s very possible. They were truly way more advanced than any culture at the time. Thank God for the American know-how, because we were combating them with our own kind of knowledge and technology, as well.” – George Noory (Radio Host, Coast to Coast AM) |

“After World War II, there was an exercise mounted by the Americans called Operation Paperclip. The Allies had been confronted with all this amazing technology from Germany. The jet engines, airplanes, the rocket engine airplanes, all these amazing devices. To give you an example of some of the material that was collected by Operation Paperclip, right at the end of the war, Von Braun and his team had begun designing multistage rockets capable of reaching the United States. They also had plans for a space station, the classic circular sci-fi space station, and on this, they had a huge sunlight collector, a mirror that was designed to focus sunlight down on the Earth as a kind of death ray. There were all these wild ideas coming out of that team that turned it into a very valuable coup for the United States. Ultimately, it was Von Braun who built the Saturn Five rocket that took people to the Moon.” – Robert H. Frisbee, Ph.D. |
The story of the World War II Foo Fighters, much like that of the Battle of Los Angeles, has been largely forgotten or dismissed by traditional historians. But an event that happened just two years after the war had even the skeptics wondering. What if aliens really did exist? And could one of their craft have crashed to Earth?
