Backing music gives the right musical setting for 1945.
This was located at Freeman Field in Seymour, IN, a U.S. Army Air Base, which served as a training base during World War II and as the Foreign Evaluation Center for the Air Technical Service Command. German aircraft were brought to Freeman for evaluation. When the base closed down, it appears that a lot of aircraft were just buried since there were no funds to move them. Now they're looking for the spots where they're buried.

Re: USA, Sept 1945 Air Show of Captured German Aircraft
Moment 4:31…4:33: Arado 234
Moment 4:39…4:40 : Me 163, near two German helicopters; behind the helicopter from the left, a jet engine exposed separately
Moment 4:51…4:54 : V-1
(The V-2 is so big and obvious, it sticks into the eyes)
I cannot figure out what is the white sphere between the V-2 (on its right) and the V-1 (on its left). UFO ??
Moment 5:03…5:05: Isn’t that a Japanese plane?
Moment 5:20…5:22 : again V-1
Moment 5:40…5:53: again Me-163, then much closer at 6:27…6:37
Moment 5:55…6:20: a better look to the German helicopters
Moment 5:24…5:27: The mystery sphere again! Maybe the combustion chamber of a rocket engine ?
I am wondering if the Arado 234 is the same with the one shown today at Washington DC (Smithsonian – National Air and Space Museum)

Hello again,
Does anybody has any suggestions regarding the "mystery sphere" shown at 4:40…4:43, 4:48…4:51 and from opposite direction (and closer) at 5:20…5:26 ?
I am just curious. I do not recall to see anything like that before.
