Foo Fighters and the Kugelblitz

I am not sure if this subject has come up before so sorry if it has.
Does anyone have any information on the foo fighters in WW2 especially about how they may have been powered ?
I have also come across a scaled up, piloted version of the foo fighter. It was reputedly test flown over the Thuringia in the Harz Mts.
So any info would be greatly appreciated.
PS. here is an artist conception :

Didn't kow how to insert images before but I do now so here are some artists rendering of the Kugelblitz(Ball Lighting) fighter. Known as the Focke-Wulf 500

Foo Fighter was just another term used by pilots to describe UFOs.

The Kugelblitz was an anti-aircraft tank used by the Germans (Flakpanzer Kugelblitz).

Not so, the Kugelblitz was a spherical aircraft reputedly capable of mach 2= speeds. It also carried an advanced fitout of weaponry.
As for the foo fighters there seems to be a concensus that they may have been German secret weapons. A few were seen over Japan in 1945. So it could be possible that the Germans transferred some of these devices to Japan. We know that u-boats transported jet engines and other exotic german technologies to Japan during the war.
The flakpanzer kugelblitz did exist but did not see widespread service. The ' kugelblitz ' refers to in this case a prototype twin 30mm turret for the flakpanzer.

I've read a story about it. Nazis send them to Japan, but forgot to gave them a manual ( not kidding ). Japaneses tryed to used it, but failed. The first 1 vanished in the sky with an incredible speed. The japanese military & scientists were so frightened, they decided to destroy the second prototype with dynamite. It's sound crazy, but I just read it. I don't say it's true.

sexah!
i would want that to be re-discovered

WHAAAAT????!!!!!

What WHAAAAT????!!!!! ?

Foo fighters WERE the name pilots used for UFOs. They weren't German weapons because THEY thought they belonged to the allies. The allies first thought they were German.

Michael Bentine (Yes, of the 'Goon' fame) served, during WWII, as Intelligence Officer for a Polish bomber wing.
His pilots told of the 'Foo Fighters' and said they could be German weapons.
He asked "What do they do?"
He was told they just 'buzzed' the aircraft.
"Did they shoot at you?" he asked.
When he was told "NO", he asked "Well, what's the use of a weapon that doesn't do anything?"

The fact that the axis forces thought the foo fighters were alied weapons only came to light AFTER the war.

Then how did they work?
Some antigravity device ala Tesla?

Nick Cook in his book "The Hunt For Zero Point" goes into detail about the Foo Fighters and their power source. Think 'anti-Gravity'...
