Declassified Pentagon UFO Files Detail WWII-Era Encounters Over Germany
The files show Allied crews reported lights and craft that flew in formation, came within 30 meters, and defied wartime explanations.
- On December 22, 1944, crews of the 415th Night Fighter Squadron reported glowing lights flying in formation with their aircraft over Germany, phenomena later dubbed 'Foo Fighters' that remained classified for 80 years.
- The British Air Ministry's secret March 1945 memorandum labeled the sightings 'something of an enigma,' documenting an aluminium cylinder roughly 3.6 metres long sighted at around 2,700 metres altitude over Germany.
- Later investigations such as the U.S. Air Force programme Project Blue Book documented objects lacking wings or conventional propulsion, describing geometric shapes performing maneuvers hard to reconcile with known technologies.
- Declassified FBI documents from the 1940s and 1950s contain reports of alleged 'Nazi UFOs,' though files provide no proof of extraterrestrial craft, showing how enduring myths grew from these wartime observations.
- Since the 2017 revelation of the Pentagon programme Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program , the United States has formalized structures for assessing unusual observations, including Navy pilot videos from 2004 and 2015.
