AIR STAFF SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITED TACTICAL FORCE (FORWARD)
REF: - SHAFT/A/TS.37153/A.2. SUB: - Night Phenomena. TO: - First Tactical Air Force (Prov.) APO 374, US ARMY.
1. With reference to reports forwarded from the XIIth Tactical Air Command through your Headquarters on the subject of night phenomena (foofighter), and further to this Headquarters' letter of even reference dated 11 February, a reply has now been received from the Air Ministry who say that Senior Command crews have for some time been reporting similar phenomena.
2. The Air Ministry view is that a few of the alleged aircraft may have been Me,262's and for the rest flak rockets are suggested as the most likely explanation.
3. It is regretted that no further, or more definite, information can be given.
for the Deputy Supreme Commander,
C.M. CRIBBSON Air Commander, A.O. of S., A-2.
