Silver Balls Floating in Air Nazis’ Newest War Device
(The Associated Press)
Paris, Dec. 13. – As the Allied armies ground out new gains on the western front today, the Germans were disclosed to have thrown a new “device” into the war – mysterious silvery balls which float in the air.
Pilots report seeing these objects, both individually and in clusters, during forays over the Reich.
(The purpose of the floaters was not immediately evident. It is possible that they represent a new anti-aircraft defense instrument or weapon.)
