"...the FIRST REAL USAAF Film 'FOO"-TAGE of Nazi Flying Saucers OR...
"FOO FIGHTERS"...!!
that I have ever seen shot in daylight!
This is Amazing... I was able to freeze key frames to shoot still photos off the monitor screen. To be published in UFO Digest soon.
I first read about this type of UFO aerial battle over Europe nearly 50 years ago, describing and onslaught of Foo Fighters flying in swarms and diving through US bomber formations. This footage is spectacular."
I think this is hooy... VW's dropping out of the sky, lol. Just don't buy it. Wasn't even wings on them.

Total B.S., it is a good lesson as to what can be done with CGI and Hollywood special effects. Disinformation effort to waste our time and brains on visual graffiti.
Pretty laughable actually

Toughest VW body I have ever seen.
It can take a "high speed" impact onto the roof of the car and not show one dent.
Now that is well built car (must be made of the an airplane black box)!

Mmm, yes, very curious, very interesting...
They must have made them better back then. I had a '64 and caved in the front end just sitting on it. Easy fix though.

Didn't think Beetles were produced untill after 1945. Seems like a waste of CGI.

1938 Mr. Porsche and Adolf brought VW into the world.

Too true. I've had 4, a bug, super beet, and two pop tops. I could drop an engine in less than ten min., and same to stick it back in the vans. It could be more poke and hope to stick the bugs engines back in.

I loved my old 1959 Beetle... with a "reserve tank" and no fuel gauge. It was a tank in the snow!

Yeah, I used to have to drop the engine every 7-8 weeks to adjust the lifters. Got pretty good at it too. Not all that hard to do really.
@Marvin- I had a fuel gauge but I had the reserve tank also. it was a savior many times. And you are correct, it was a tank. I think I spent as much time off road as on (hehe). It was awsome in the snow too. The one great thing, as long as you had a friend with you, you were never stuck in anything very long.
Love to have another old bug, but the price tag is way too high any more. I could of bought 4 or 5 of them back then for what they want now.
Who knew?
