ACUFO:

The Second World War, if we are to believe certain accounts, seems to have fascinated the extra-terrestrials.

Thus, the Spanish volunteers of the Azul division who were fighting in the German ranks on the Eastern Front, noticed during an aerial duel a disc-shaped object “which overlooks the planes in the middle of the fight, like if it was monitoring the battle“, a witness said. And, adds the latter, it “disappeared at fantastic speed”.

The illustrious Spanish researcher Antonio Ribera was able to collect the observation made in September 1943, at Pushkino (30 km N E of Moscow), by soldiers of the Spanish “Azul” division, including MM. Jesus Arias (from Asturias), Paz (from Galicia), and Tomas Carbonell (from Alicante). a disk flies over Russian and German planes in aerial combat, and flies at fantastic speed. (16)

In 1943, the same month the Lancaster bombers of the RAF's 115 Squadron were encountering UFOs, a daylight disc was seen hovering above the town of Pushkino in northern Russia by Spanish soldiers of Division Azul, a volunteer Axis unit fighting alongside the German Wehrmacht.

URSS, Pouchkino

A disc-shaped UFO was observed near Pushkino by Spanish volunteers from the Azul division, who fought with the Germans on the German-Russian front. While they were in a fort, sheltering from an aerial battle between German and Soviet aircraft, soldiers Jesus Aria, Pas and Tomas Carbonell noticed a discoidal object flying over the surroundings, a bit like a spectator of a air conflict and which was to disappear with fantastic speed.

That same year [1942], a group of Spanish volunteers fighting with the Germans against the Russians on the eastern front witnessed an unusual sight in the skies of Russia. They were watching an aerial dogfight over their lines when they suddenly noticed a strangelooking aircraft even higher in the sky. According to one of the witnesses, the disc-shaped object seemed to be &lrquo;watching the battle.” Then, he said, the UFO suddenly shot off at a fantastic rate of speed. (263)
