During World War II, the Ju-86 had been flying over southern England for months, usually above 40,000 feet – so high that Spitfires had enormous trouble climbing up to intercept them. Although it had a good ceiling, it was slow and easy to shoot down once fighters got to it. While theorising over Pixie Reports, David Goldfarb thought they might be the Ju-86's, but dismissed it because of their slow speed.
