are truly without a clue and simply perpetuating old and bad
information as a convenient explanation. In any event, it is now
clear they utterly failed to do their homework on foo fighters
before writing about them.
The U.S. military, too, has always denied knowledge of foo
fighters. Numerous Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests
have been filed, for instance, by this writer as well as other
researchers asking for information on foo fighters. A "no
record" response always followed. All U.S. governmental agencies
queried claimed that they had never heard of foo fighters. This
happened in spite of the fact that all known alternate names for
foo fighters were submitted as well as a detailed description of
the device itself. This was the situation until the late 1990s.
Vesco is by far the best source concerning the foo fighter which
he calls "Feuerball". He describes it as a radio controlled
missile, built at an aeronautical establishment at Wiener
Neustadt
(Austria)
with
assistance
of
the
Flugfunk
Forschungsanstalt (Radio-Flight Research Installation) of
Oberpfaffenhoffen. The project was under the control of an SS
technical division. It was armored, circular in shape,
resembling the shell of a tortoise. The device was powered by
special flat, circular a turbojet engine. After being guided to
the proximity of the target from the ground, an automatic infrared tracking device took over control. The circular spinning
turbojet exhaust created a visual effect of a bright, fiery ball
in the nighttime sky. Within the craft itself a klystron tube
pulsated at the frequency of Allied radar making it almost
invisible to those remote eyes. A thin sheet of aluminum
encircled the device immediately under the layer of protective
armor but was electrically insulated from the armor. Once a
bullet pierced the armor and the thin aluminum sheet, a circuit
was formed which had the effect of triggering the Feuerball to
climb out of danger at full speed (2).
Once within range, special chemical additives were added to the
fuel mixture which caused the air in the vicinity of the device
to become ionized. This meant that electricity could be
conducted directly through the air itself (3). Any ignitionbased engine coming into range of the ionized region would become
useless, misfiring, stalling and eventually crashing.
Vesco goes on to say that with the advance of the Soviets into
Austria the production facilities for the Feuerball were moved to
a number of underground plants in the Black Forest run by the
Zeppelin Works (4).
Recently an Austrian researcher, Kadmon, who specializes in
uncovering the esoteric, sent to me a copy of a letter describing
details of the foo fighter from the German perspective. This
letter is reproduced here for those who read German language. It
is a letter from physicist Friedrich Lachner to Professor, Dr.
Alois Fritsch. The letter tells Dr. Fritsch that in an aircraft
