Armed Forces Legend
A female SPIRIT of the GREMLIN type in the folklore of the British, American, and Canadian armed Forces. This SPIRIT is closely related to the DINGBELLE. Although invisible, this SPRITE was able to tickle Air Force bombers and pilots just as their target coordinates were correct, thus causing an overshoot or an abort.
