Well foo fighters originally was a world war II term for UFO's or mysterious aerial phenomenaYeah I struggled with the dialect , think it's in relation to a FOO fighters and Nirvana eras .
Haven't caught up with it yet , still playing Hutch stuff loudly here .
The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over Europe and the Pacific theatre. Contemporary witnesses often assumed that the foo fighters were secret weapons employed by the enemy, and it was not until after the war that it was discovered neither side had anything to do with them. Despite these fears, foo fighters (whatever they might have been) were apparently never reported to have harmed or tried to harm anyone. To this day the case remains unexplained.
Though usually thought of as blobs of light or fire, several different types of reported phenomena were classified as "foo fighters".
