About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious Foo Fighter sightings encountered by Allied pilots during World War II.
In the skies over wartime Europe and the Pacific, Allied pilots began encountering something they couldn’t identify — glowing objects that followed their aircraft, evaded radar, and vanished without explanation. Was it a Nazi weapon? Or something from another world? Recorded in combat reports and wartime newspapers, the Foo Fighter sightings would haunt aircrews long after the war ended, raising questions that were never fully answered.
