History of UFO's During World War II


During world war II the accumulation of sightings of mysterious
celestial objects, finally started to worry the military authorities.

In both camps, high-ranking officials of the intelligence services
started to study these strange objects and investigation committees
composed of military and scientific personnel were set up in various
countries. They had a double purpose: first of all to determine the
nature of these flting objects and then to see if they constituted a
threat to the security of the nation.

During world war II, the Allies, just like the Germans, noticed the
persence of these enigmatic flying objects above their secret bases.
The first reaction of each side was obviously to suspect espionage on
the part of their enemy.

In 1943 the English were the first to set up a special group to enquire
into the question of these object. The British set up a small
organization to collect evidence. It was headed by Lieutenant General
Massey and was inspired by reports from a spy who, in fact was a double
agent operating under the orders of the Mayor of Cologne. He had
comfirmed that the "Foo-fighters" were not German devices, but that the
Germans thought that they were Allied weapons which, of course, the
British knew was not so.

Later in 1966, was learned from the British Aviation Minister that
project Massey had been officially classified in 1944. Perhaps it was
pure coincidence, but the double agent was denounced and executed at
the beginning of that year. For their part the Germans did not remain
inactive. But in 1944, the Wehemacht asked Oberkommando of the
"Luftwaffe (aviation)" to set up a center to collect information on all
the various sightings of these mysterious celestial object.

This was known as Sonderburo No 13 which, until the time of the German
defeat scrupulously applied itself to its job. The short time that this
commission was in existence prevented it from coming to any definite
conclusions, but it collected an impressive amount of information.

The first sighting, studied by the Sonderburo, went back two year and
came from a Hauptmann Fischer, an engineer in civil life. On March
14,1942, at 5:35 p.m., Fischer landed at the secret air base at Banak,
in Norway.

At that instant the radar picked up a luminous object and Fischer was
asked to go up and identify it. At about 10,000 feet the pilot caught
sight of the object, and gave a description by radio to the base: an
enormous streamlined craft about 300 feet long and about 50 feet in
diameter. The aerial whale which was Fischer's title for it stayed
horizontal for a long moment before rising vertically and disappearing
at great speed.

It was not a machine constructed by the hand of man, Fischer stated in
his report. On reading the report, Air Marshall Hermann Goering
concluded that the solitude of the north does not seem to have done
much for this pilot. The report of another interesting incident was
carefully preserved in the archives of the German Investiganion
Committee: that of the launching of an experimental rocket on February
12, 1944, at the Kummersdorf test center.

On that day the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, S.S.
Reichsfuhrer Himmler and S.S. Gruppenfuhrer Heinz Kammler were present
at the launching which was being filmed. Some days later the
authorities at the base organized a showung of the film. The astonihhed
spectators, could see very clearly a spherical body which followed the
rocket and circled around it.

The autorities immediately suspected Allied espionage. However, an
agent informed Himmler that the English were themselves victims of the
same sort of phenomenon and thought that it was a new type of German
prototype craft. However, the most convincing evidence filed away by
the Sonderburo came from a military flying ace.

On September 29, 1944, at 10:45 a.m., a test pilot was trying out a new
Messerschmitt jet, ME 262 Schwalbe, when his attention was suddenly
caught by two luminous points situated on his right. He shot at full
speed in that direction and found himself face to face with a
cylindrical object, more than three hundred feet long with some
openings along its side, and fitted with long antennae placed in front
up to about halfway along its length. Having approached within about
1,500 feet of the craft the pilot was amazed to see that it was moving
at a speed of more than 1,200 m.p.h.
