It wasn't just the allies, it was the Axis powers encountered them, too.
I seem to recall reading the the Germans were just as mystified at what their pilots were reporting. Not nearly the same reports by the Japanese, but if the b29 bomber streams over Japan encountered them, so, too, I would imagine, did the Japanese...
Oh, yes... There was definite high-level interest.

If there are, they're either in Russia someplace, Great Britain someplace, or the US someplace...none of which anyone will ever see 'em.
The only thing we're ever likely to see/hear are anecdotal stories...and those will be fewer as those witnesses become fewer and fewer over the next decade.
Given how deeply any factual information would be buried, I have to wonder if anyone knows where it is. It might be one of those secrets that's actually died with it's keepers.
Scene involving actual UFO reports of the period...
missing from US releases.
Obviously staged to be inserted or cut from the film.
For some interesting reason, only in the UK version...

I love those old covers!!
I recently, OK not so recently-last year sometime-about a fighter pilot over Europe,
I believe he was Soviet, who drew down on one, a foo fighter, with his cannon armed fighter, and according to the story, hit it, and did nothing to it...
I tried to find it again but I've no idea where I saw it, so the chances of finding it again are slim to none. Maybe someone herein is familiar with the tale?

Great collection of images, would make really good posters.
As for foo fighters, both my friends grandad and my grandad were in the air force during ww2. They had both seem them, they were stationed in different parts of the world. It was also a much discussed topic between pilots.
Whatever they were, they were a real phenomena.
Can you give us any more information about what your granddad said about the Foo Fighters?
Thanks,
Erno

A very late reply to you, sorry for that.
He said they were balls if light or sometimes what looked like shiny spheres. They would zip around the aircraft as though they were trying to disrupt the aircraft's flight path.
Also on his death bed he said he had a book with details of a metal that would change the world for the better.
We never found this book and put it down to delusion as his liver and the rest of his body shut down.
Hope that helps.
