Just to make things clear from the beginning, this post isn’t about the popular rock band “The Foo Fighters”. So don’t expect to see the musicians flying in a UFO or something crazy like that.

The term ‘Foo Fighters‘ is an aerial phenomenon that originated during the WWII era. Allied pilots reported encountering luminous objects tailing their aircraft or zooming past them while at high altitudes. These reports were taken seriously by the American Air Force, who studied the photos and reports . There are several photographs in existence today that were taken by the pilots during their flights. The photos show bright “globs” of light following the airplanes while in formation. One of the most famous photographs shows two foo fighters following closely allied planes.

Although many pilots reported seeing these strange UFOs following them, the government never released any official documentation on the reports.

A recently uploaded video to YouTube shows similar objects like those WWII ‘foo fighters’ flying at amazing speeds across the dark Colorado skies on September 5th, 2011. YouTube user MagnetFlipper recorded the objects with crystal clear focus and uploaded the video in order to get answers. What are these strange globs of luminous lights that fly in formation in this video?
