Halloween comes around every year and stories of the paranormal become the subject of fascination. People find them an entertaining mystery because human nature is always being challenged by things we cannot see or explain.
The military is never short on yarns with more unexplained events and individuals who have crossed over into the realm of the unknown.

I have several stories of haunts and the unexplained when it comes to the Air Force and aviators. The tale of a phantom P-38 Lightning in World War II was the one I was going to share, but another haunt from World War II made its way into my consciousness and tells me it’s the one I need to share.
Years ago, I wrote an article about a young RAF pilot, Cadet Meyer Bernard Himelstaub who made his way to America for training at Lancaster’s War Eagle Field/Polaris Flight Academy. It was a tragic story on so many levels, as the young cadet was a World War II refugee who had escaped Poland after the German invasion.

MOJAVE, Calif. – Sep 20, 2025 – The Scaled Composites Model 437 re-entered flight test today after completion of significant work since first flight of the vehicle in 2024. This test is the start of a series of envelope expansion flights to prove out the flight capabilities of the Model 437 ahead of Northrop Grumman’s Beacon autonomy flight tests.
In preparation for the Beacon flight test campaign, Scaled Composites work on the Model 437 included updating the vehicle’s hydraulic system, interfacing Beacon subsystems into the airframe along with pilot interfaces into the cockpit. Concurrent with aircraft modifications, Scaled Composites and Northrop Grumman have worked closely together on hangar tests of the Beacon autonomy ecosystem incorporated in the aircraft.
