Perhaps we were damn lucky to have won WWII after all. Did Nostradamus ever predict this?
Renato Vesco is a fully liscensed aircraft engineer and a specialist in aerospace and ramjet developements. He attended the University of Rome and, before WWII, studied at the German Institute for Aerial Developement. During the war, Vesco worked with the Germans at the Fiat Lake Garda secret installations in Italy. In the 1960's, he worked for the Italian Air Ministry of Defense as an undercover technical agent, investigating the UFO mystery.
He writes:
"On November 27, 1944, a B-27 of the United States Air Force, returning from a raid on Speyer, West Germany, encountered a huge, orange colored light moving upward at an estimated speed of 500 MPH. When the pilots reported, sector radar had reported negatively, because nothing had registered on the screen.
But the object seen by the returning bomber was only the first of numerous others spotted by American pilots over wartime Germany and promptly baptized 'foo-fighters.' Fighter pilots Falls and Backer, of the 415th Squadron, reported such an encounter a month later forcing the Air Force to admit that such objects might exist. Later encounters with foo fighters led experts to assume they were German inventions of a new order employed to baffle radar.
How close they came to the truth, they learned only when the war was over and Allied Intelligence teams moved into the secret Nazi plants. The foo-fighters seen by American pilots were only a minor demonstration, a fraction of a vast variety of methods used to confuse radar and interrupt electro magnetic currents. Work on the German anti-radar Feurball, or fireball, had been speeded up during the fall of 1944 at a Luftwaffe experimental center near Oberammergau, Bavaria. There, and at the aeronautical establishment at Weiner Neustadt, the first fireballs were produced. Later, when the Russians moved closer to Austria, the workshops producing the fireballs were moved to the Black Forest. Fast and remote controlled, the fireballs, equipped with klystron tubes operating on the same frequency as Allied radar, which could eliminate the blips from radar screens. This allowed them to remain practically invisible to ground control.
The Nazi Feurball failed to interfere with the Allied air offensive. The foo fighters had been launched too late and could no longer change the course of events, but in themselves they were significant not only because they were the outcome of a technical evolution which could have led to more dangerous weapons, but also because they showed that Nazi technology had moved in a direction far beyond anything expected by Allied Intelligence.
As the fall of Germany approached, the Nazi Leaders reverted to an ambitious project created by Gauleiter Franz Hofer who had become high commissioner for the Italian Tyrol and the Southern Alps. The project foresaw setting up an incredible fortress in the mountains, including parts of Italy, Austria and Bavaria. Hofer submitted his plan to Hitler's aide, Martin Bormann in November 1944, having prepared for this moment back in 1938 when Nazi agents carefully mapped all mountain passes, caves, bridges, highways, and located sights for underground factories, munitions dumps, arms and food caches. To complete work on this fortress, Hofer demanded a slave labor force of a quarter of a million, to be composed of 70% Austrian workers and 30% men of the Tyrolese home guard.
So-called U-Plants were to be set up underground as gigantic workshops and launching pads for the secret weapons which were to turn the tide of the war in favor of the Nazis. Among these were some 74 tunnels along Lake Garda, in Northern Italy, which were to be adapted and transformed into a vast assembly plant by FIAT of Turin in close collaboration with the department of Minister Albert Speer. Seven other tunnels along Lake Garda, near Limone, were to produce several weapons tested at the Hermann Goering Institute of Riva del Garda.
According to the archives of the German High Command and of the Allied Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee, other plants in vital areas of Central Germany, code named M-Werke, were to produce powerful missles such as the giant A.9/A.10 destined to destroy New York and Washington. But most important was the Alpine area, for it was from there that the supreme weapons were to come.
This report, never released by the Allies, was made by a French diplomat. It was forwarded to Free French Intelligence Headquarters at Algiers. The top secret report reffered to the blue clouds as something approaching anti-aircraft projectiles based on the grisou (fire damp) gas found in mines, and which had been succesfully tried against other bombers over Lake Garda. The French report was intercepted by Italian agents and deciphered at SID (Italian Counter-Intelligence) Headquarters at Castiglione della Stiviere. The message was later captured by a military intelligence team operating for the eighth Army in Italy.
