Army Air Major William D Leet:
“My B-17 crew and I were kept company by a ‘foo-fighter’, a small disc, all the way from Klagenfurt, Austria, to the Adriatic Sea. This occurred on a ‘lone wolf’ mission at night, as I recall, in December 1944…” Major Leet goes on to note that the intelligence officer that debriefed him and his crew “stated that it was a new German fighter, but could not explain why it did not fire at us, or if it was reporting our heading, altitude and airspeed, why we did not receive anti-aircraft fire.”
