Did you know?

I found out last night that Foo Fighters are not just a band. The term originated in WWII when pilots flying over Germany saw bright glowing orbs hovering around them. They called them Foo Fighters. Some scientists think they were balls of charged mercury, that when gotten to move in a gyroscopic rotation, somehow hovered. The orbs were supposed to be attracted to the bombers and then disrupt the electronics of the plane, causing it to fall from the sky. If this is true it would mean that the Nazis were working on technology that is still beyond what we have today. They were producing immense amounts of Mercury toward the end of the war. No one really knows why. Several sunken U-boats have been found that had cargoes exclusively composed of Mercury.

There is also speculation that the Nazis got some of this technology from a spacecraft that crashed into the black forest sometime during the war. Crazy stuff.
