SUBJECT: MORE ON FOO FIGHTERS FILE: UFO2915 Date: 06-18-91 22:48 From: Jim Sanders This message was in the Aviation Conference. It is similar to The "Foo Fighters" that were reported over Europe near the end of World War II. Thought I would post it so that you may want to question Paul further. Jim ------------------------------- From: PAUL ELSHOFF Read: (N/A) Subj: FOO FIGHTERS Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE Conf: AVIATION (9) Read Type: GENERAL (+) Anyone else out there ever run into one of these animals? I had my "close encounter" in the early 70's while flying in the area of Windsor Ontario. It was a small (about basketball sized) ball of light that seemed to fly formation with me for a while off my starboard wingtip, then cirled the plane a couple of times before leaving VERY rapidly for parts unknown in a nearly vertical climb. During the time it was near me, my radios went out, my nav and cabin lights dimmed, my compass decided it wanted to be a top, and the engine got really rough. One it left, everything came back to normal. ATC showed nothing but yours truly in the area on radar, and the weather boys said it was unlikely to have been an atmospheric phenomenon. Nobody has ever come up with a logical explanation, and I'm starting to believe in haunted Cessna 172's! I've heard some of the WW II bomber jockeys had similar sightings, and since it seems some of the guys on here are of "the class of '45", I figured just maybe...... ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
