World War II Foo Fighters And Einstein’s Tips
Why didn’t US Navy pilots film the U̳F̳O̳ they recently filmed even though they were in restricted Military airspace? The answer goes back to 1952 and the Foo fighters of World War II. Let’s take a detailed look.
Despite P̳e̳n̳t̳a̳g̳o̳n̳ claims that he does not know what these objects are, the non-confrontation policy dates back to 1952, when then-President Harry Truman rescinded a direct order to shoot down U̳F̳O̳ after an unusual surge in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. throughout the United States—which took place in the aforementioned year.
According to a recently discovered historical report (see PDF), this was because renowned scientist Albert Einstein and other academics interceded and told the president that this was not a good idea.
The U̳F̳O̳s and the study on Foo Fighters ordered by President Truman
Direct presidential involvement in the flying saucer situation for President Truman began in 1949 when he commissioned a study on the “Foo Fighters” that plagued both sides during World War II.
Foo Fighters were spheres of light approximately one meter in diameter that chased and marked the passage of German and Allied aircraft during the conflict. Both sides involved in the war actions considered the possibility that they were secret weapons used by the enemy. However, the question of what these small flying objects were was never really resolved.
General Jimmy Doolittle directed the study that Truman had commissioned. The conclusion was incredible. Since both sides had dealt with these Mysterious balls of light, it could not be man-made and the origin of the same was, in the general’s own words, “probably e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳”.
In the decade that followed, the US Military was inundated with sightings of U̳F̳O̳, raising fears of an uncontrollable situation that would unleash total panic among the citizenry. In this context, the Washington press corps began to demand answers about this disconcerting phenomenon that was ravaging the American skies.
Does Truman send a message?
On April 4, 1950, trying to keep abreast of the situation, President Truman made the following statement through his press secretary: “I can assure you that flying saucers, as they exist, are not built by any power. on earth.”
Some reports place the declaration at a conference held in Washington. Unfortunately, on the day in question, the president was at his residence in Key West, Florida, and did not hold a press conference. But it is known that his press secretary, Charles Ross, used to hold two meetings with reporters to answer questions.
The latter received some confirmation when a Time magazine article later quoted the statement about the president’s alleged ignorance of the situation as belonging to Ross. Dated April 17, 1950, it read: “Truman sends a message through his press secretary that he knows nothing about the saucers.”
Shooting order of the U̳F̳O̳ of July 1952
During the summer of 1952, there were a large number of U̳F̳O̳ sightings throughout the United States. They spread to two very public waves that were tracked from three different locations as they flew over the White House, the Capitol, and the P̳e̳n̳t̳a̳g̳o̳n̳ on July 19 and 26.
“A massive accumulation of sightings in the US in 1952, especially in July, alarmed the Truman administration,” wrote Gerald K. Haines, author and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) historian.
He led the Truman administration to give the order to shoot down the flying saucers. On July 26, 1952, the Air Force complied and gave the order: “Shoot them!”
“However, several leading scientists, including Albert Einstein, protested the order to the White House and urged that it be rescinded, not only in the interests of future intergalactic peace but also in the interests of self-preservation: the a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s would certainly consider an attack . of a fighter jet as a violation of universal hospitality laws,” Haines added.
Consequently, the order to “shoot them down” was withdrawn at the White House at five in the afternoon… But that same night the saucers returned.
Will History repeat itself
Now, 70 years later, the latest public stance of P̳e̳n̳t̳a̳g̳o̳n̳ is that it still does not know what a small but significant minority of these U̳F̳O̳s/UAPs is, but promises to continue studying the phenomenon. However, it seems that he clings to what could be called the “Truman Doctrine”; that is, do not fire at these unknown, and probably non-terrestrial intruders.
So if Haines’ account is true, we have another reason to be grateful to Albert Einstein.
