Since this happened while the Wright Brothers were building the first fixed wing aircraft, it seems to show that someone else other than humans has visited here from somewhere else. At least it isn't just wild speculation. To say it was some advanced humans from planet earth would be wild speculation.

Someone correct me, wasn't the term "Foo fighters" generated during WWII?

Very cool! Tried to "flag" this but I couldn't, I guess because I'm new. Don't even know what that does but it appears to mean something good.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks!

The term originated from the 1930's cartoon strip: Smokey Stover, the "foolish foo [fire] fighter" Feu means fire, in French.
U.S. Allied WWII fighter/bomber pilots tagged the term "foo fighters" [from the Smokey Stover cartoon] on these mysterious fiery flying orbs.

The story seems to be confirmed by a google search. Is there a credible original source? I find the UFO subject fascinating but saturated with a lot of noise from hoaxsters(i.e. secureteam) and debunked "sightings" but if only one turns out to be true then that is extraordinary.

Good article....but a little confusing in detail.
One location is given as in the Pacific near San Francisco, and one location is Eastern ocean of Korea.
Time is 6.10am in February, which I believe is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, then mentions blue sky and clouds......isnt 6.10am in winter still dark?....Im fairly sure its still dark here in the Southern areas of the Southern Hemisphere in winter.
The direction of the sighting is North West....now the Sun would be rising in the East, almost directly opposite the objects, and hence would be casting a firey red colour onto any object high in the atmosphere.
Sadly there is a lack of details, but to be expected for the times. They mention "Soaring", then they seemed to come near the ocean then went up away from Earth and fading in colour as they rose.
They obviously saw something, but as the people of this time had no idea of "air-objects" and how they appear , as we do. for instance, a craft coming toward you looks almost stationary, a craft travelling form the horizon, as these did, appears to be going straight up into space. A size of 6 Suns is very large, Im a little suspect with that description.
But something in the outer atmosphere reflecting the Sun, could look six times or more bigger.....just like satellites as they pass over reflecting the Sun.
As it appeared to have a fuzzy tail, and red and firey, it does seem like a peice of space junk, braking through the atmosphere....but to observe it for 3 minutes, means it is awful slow.....maybe a vintage UFO.....
An interesting sighting, but with the observers inexperience in dealing with any flying objects, other than birds and meteors, Im not sure if it could be classed as a "Controlled" flying object......Could have been a blimp or airship tho?, that eventually was hidden by the clouds.
Still an interesting observation from the old times.
