Default Wierd ball of fire over Stalingrad
I was playing the Stalingrad mission last night (3rd mission in campaign?) and there was this flying ball of smoking flame in the sky travelling roughly 250mph at around 6000ft. It wasn't a plane and it wasn't falling towards the earth. Has anyone any clue as to what I saw?

I saw one too in the first Stalingrad mission, a shot down plane just hovering there.

It has happened to me once where I shot a plane, it bursted into flames, but didn't plummet towards Earth. It stayed in mid-air, but thankfully dissapeared after a minute.

Foo Fighter indeed! I have seen it twice as I have yet to complete that mission. The smoke trail it was leaving was very thick but only about three times as long as the plane. It left no oil on my windshield as I flew through the smoke in an attempt to ID what it was. I will try the mission again tonight and report back if I see it.

Yeah... I just saw these in Stalingrad too. Flaming balls of smoke just hovering along. Just a little programming glitch I'm assuming...
