From source: He last appeared in the dodgy US magazine UFO Universe where he was featured on the front page as having 'chased bogies at 20,000 feet,' (an astonishing spectacle no doubt!), but whilst the article gave details of UFOs he'd seen post-WWII, government film of UFOs, cover-ups, and you name it (along with mucho promotion for his many books, including UFO based novels) the Schweinfurt raid was never mentioned. Funny that, really.
Not Funny at all...hoax - the grass roots of this picture seems suspect and whether the photo is real or not, the primary individuals involved seemed to have NO recollection of the proposed incident during that raid. How the hell do you NOT remember that..?
Interesting photo
lets start dissecting it.
Do we know when and where it was exactly taken?
We can start by trying to identify the aircraft in the image. My initial assumption is a 1930s era monoplane fighter or scout bomber given the landing gear and radial engine. Maybe Japanese? I did some online research and it appears the aircraft are these: en.wikipedia.org...
So maybe it was taken during the Sino-Japanese conflict?

I respond with 2 pertinent points:
Pertinent would be subjective in this case...
To point 1: When/Where did I generalize that All Foo accounts are fiction..? I am discussing the case you brought forward - nothing else. Are you drunk..?
To point Deux: Whether it originated or from that raid or not, the key individuals DO NOT recall the incident...mute.

My dad was a fighter pilot in WW2 and seen them himself over the pacific. He said they were like fire balls and they just followed them. The Japanese and Germans did not know what they were either. Funny how nobody fired on them im sure they realized it would be foolish not knowing what these things were capable of. As for the foo fighters being the Nazi's secret weapon i really cant see it simply because the foo fighters did not down any planes or disrupt the campaigns. What are they? I have no clue.

It doesn't look right to me it could be a photo manipulated if not the film was damaged somehow

My first thought when I saw the picture was Lysander but closer examination reveals the aircraft to look much more like the Japanese Ki-36. The wing placement is incorrect for the Lysander.

In short, the photo is to blurry and its origin is not (yet) fully established in order for it to bear any weight in contemporary UFO research.
You cannot prove or disprove anything with it, only speculate.
