Summary

In 1944, US fighter pilots stationed in France started seeing strange lights during night flights. Out the windows of their planes, orange and red fiery lights would organize, dip, dive, and follow their planes, to the point the pilots were, "scared sh**less." What followed over the next five years was a series of sightings around the globe.

What about World War II started a domino effect of UFO sightings, both in the United States and around the planet? What were these fighter pilots seeing out of their windows, moving like nothing they'd seen before? Was Nazi technology turned into space travel instruments or weapons? Did the UFOs arrive upon our first usage of nuclear weapons to monitor human beings?
