Summary

Seventeen-page extract from Department of War numeric files for 1944-1945, described as German armament equipment documents under record 37153; all 17 pages were OCR'd and carry text. The material centers on a Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force memorandum numbered SHAEF Air/75.57153/A2 dated 11 February, concerning reports of light phenomena passed from the XIth Tactical Air Force, together with an Air Ministry reply of 15 March 1945 for the Air Staff. The reply states that Bomber Command crews had for some time been reporting similar phenomena, that a few of the alleged aircraft may have been Me 262, and that flak rockets were suggested as the most likely explanation, regretting that no more scientific information could be given.
