This is a secret War Department outgoing classified message, number WAR 86184, dated 2 January 1945. It was sent from Bissell of the Military Intelligence Division and signed by Ulio, addressed to G-2 at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces in Versailles, France. It notes press reports of red balls of fire flying alongside planes in flight, which air personnel called "Foo Fighters," and asks for an explanation if one is available.
