A photograph shows UFO "kill markings" on the side of a German World War II anti-aircraft gun.
A photograph purportedly showing â€œkill markingsâ€ that indicate flying saucers on the side of a German World War II anti-aircraft gun has been showing up on the internet for several years, often used as proof that unidentified flying objectsÂ are a part of the historical record: This digitally manipulatedÂ image has been circulating since at least 2013 when it was published in the â€œHumorâ€ section of theÂ Mod DB web forum under the title â€œI never though the Flak 88 were THAT versatile.â€ While the photographÂ does showÂ a German Flak 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the UFO markings wereÂ not part of the original photograph: The original photograph was lifted fromÂ the cover of a 1943 issue of Der Adler, a Nazi propaganda magazine: The caption identified the kill markings on the weapon as 11Â planes, 40 armored tanks, andÂ 15 anti-aircraft forts. There was no mention of UFOs.
