An experienced German pilot nicknamed ‘The Red Baron’ is said to have shot down a UFO during World War I according to a recently published book.

German pilot Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, was famous as an aerial “assassin” when he single-handedly shot down more than 80 enemy planes during World War I.

But it doesn’t stop there, a recently released book revealed that this man was also the first pilot in human history to shoot down an extraterrestrial flying object – a UFO, according to Ancient-code.

 The new book “The UFO’s of the First World War” by author Nigel Watson recounts a confession made in 1999 by a pilot who was a close friend of Nam’s. Red Baron, Peter Waitzrick, who is said to have witnessed a historic encounter in the sky between the Red Baron and an unidentified flying object.

Waitzrick waited until he was 105 years old, 80 years after the gunfight between the Red Baron and strange extraterrestrial visitors in the clear blue sky of Belgium in the spring of 1917.

An incredible story enough to make a hit movie in Hollywood. And here are the details.

Early that morning, the Red Baron and his companion Waitzrick were on a patrol mission over Belgium when suddenly a strange object appeared that looked like a silver plate. Covered in strange orange lights, it was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

After a moment of surprise, the Red Baron did not hesitate to chase the silver disc in the Belgian sky and tried to shoot it down.

“We were very worried because we had never really seen anything like this before. However, the Red Baron still decided to follow and quickly opened fire.

The disc was hit by the bullet and fell like a rock, as it fell, the object broke the tree branch as it crashed into the woods, in the smoke, two small figures escaped from the disc and ran away. forest.” Waitzrick recounted.

It is common for pilots to witness strange objects in the sky, and if today pilots witness unexplained objects while flying around the globe, surely that too could happen in the past.

Red Baron, Waitzrick and their team initially believed that the UFO shot down by Red Baron was a secret originating aircraft from the United States, but as they became more familiar with UFO reports, they began to suspect that What they saw that day was actually an interplanetary spacecraft.

Is this information really trusted?

Basically, World War I fighter planes were quite primitive with limited flight capabilities and speed. So being able to use a Fokker fighter to shoot down an advanced UFO is thought to not have much of a chance.

However, sometimes with just a little luck or a mistake by the UFO control team, being shot down can become a reality. Especially when the Red Baron is famous for being an expert fighter pilot and possessing extraordinary flying skills that scare his enemies.

On the other hand, as time goes on, UFO sightings become more and more common, and it was entirely possible that it happened during World War I 80 years ago. It cannot be ruled out that those strange guests were also watching the developments of the war on earth at that time.
