By non-poster request: "Foo fighters"

Overheard the telecom guys chatter today about "foo fighters" and how
"back in the day" pilots used to report them all the time, etc. I
mentioned that I'd never seen anything strange or met anybody who
claimed to have, but I've only been flying since '91. So, by
request, I'm passing the question on to the forum:

"Have you ever seen..."?

They're more interested in upper atmospheric phenomenon, etc, than
spacemen.

Yeah, I saw one, it turned out to be one of those mylar balloons they sell
at fairs and malls. It's behaviourm, in the few seconds the "encounter"
lasted, was very like descripions of ufo's I'd read, i.e. it seemed almost
motionless and parraleling my course, then suddenly turned towards me at an
extremely high speed and flew under me.
Of course it was just floating there and i just flew over it.


There has been some serious looking into about the foo fighter thing during
the second world war. it is known the germans were into experiments that
were very black and that operation paper clip gathered up whatever thye
were. One of the sites they were doing this stuff was in th eSkoda works
outside Prague and at a site in Poland that still exists. Whether they flew
anything is anyone's guess.

BTW, the foo fighter name came from Smokey Stover...
