Most of us will have heard of the Rock band Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl’s (from former Nirvana fame) musical ensemble.

But that is not the Foo Fighters I am talking about, although Dave Grohl did take his name from this WWII phenomenon.

Ever since mankind figured out that the world isn’t a flat plate but a globe and ever since mankind have discovered that the stars in the skies are all solar systems to an extend, we have wondered if there was other life out there, and just because the world was at war didn’t mean that these questions disappeared. In fact the fascination with extra terrestiral life probably became greater.
