I do recall seeing the reports of fires in the everglades in the past week on the news. I remember seeing planes with red tails in the mountains of CA fighting fires. I know it has been unusually dry throughout much of FL this summer.

Here's a few more examples, I'm not sure they quite fit the original account by JJ though.

That's exactly what it looked like! And it had propellers.

Living for a long time in a fire danger area;
I was never alarmed by the red fire retardant
sprayed on the fires.

Did anyone see this one? NW_AZ pinged me to it.

Plan for Aryan-style baby farm

The normally tranquil West German village of Doerverden has been traumatised by a notorious neo-Nazi lawyer's plans to turn its 19th century manor house and adjoining estate into an Aryan-style baby farm designed to further the Nordic race.

The dubious project has been launched by Juergen Rieger, a wealthy 57-year-old Hamburg lawyer and specialist in defending members of the German far right, who himself carries convictions for incitement to racial hatred.

Rieger is well known for his neo-Nazi activities. The former member of the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party has appeared at far right rallies in Britain and praised the former British Fascist Oswald Moseley.

He is also a fervent advocate of "racial purity".
