Nazi Flying Saucers Part II

Milton Keynes, England, it's not the kind of place where we expect to
get
new information on real life flying saucers. But after our recent report
on a shaped aircraft in Canada, top secret American saucer projects and
Germany's development of craft like this during World War II, a SIGHTINGS
Researcher received A letter from viewer D. Robin Stowell.

A typesetter by trade, Stowell alerted us to the book, Brighter Than A
Thousand Suns. An authoritative history of the race to build the first
Atomic Bomb. Stowell typeset the original manuscript nearly forty years
ago. And never forgot this brief reference to a Nazi Saucer that could
out-maneuver any allied aircraft.

Four decades after publication, Stowell found a copy of the out of
print
reference book and confirmed what he had long remembered. The footnote
describes German Saucers that were forty five yards across, capable of
reaching speeds over Mach One and climbing to an elevation of nearly
eight miles. Some experts believe that these Nazi Saucers could have been
responsible for the legendary Foo Fighter sightings over Europe late in
World War II. But if they were, it still does not explain Foo Fighters
spotted over the Pacific during the same period.

There were a number of brilliant German scientists and engineers working
on
flying disc-shaped craft, many of which used traditional rocket/jet
propulsion techniques...but some, apparently used methods far in advance
of anything commonly known at that time. Or now, for that matter



Written in 1956
English translation 1958
Author's qualifications: Journalist, with a degree in modern history
(Zurich, 1945).

The footnote quotes a first flight over Prague on 14th Feb, 1945, where
the 45 m craft reached speeds of 1250 mph, which it soon doubled. It seems
odd that 50 years later neither the USA nor former USSR have exploited
these craft; the 'secret' of stealth was revealed in less time. It also
seems odd that in early 1945 German jet engines were propelling large
discs to up to M3.7 with no concerns about the choice of materials, no
exotic materials, etc. The footnote DOES NOT state that the 'flying
saucer' was manoeuvrable. (Penguin edition, p. 87) There is no source or
attribution given for this footnote, nor in the list of people interviewed
for the book are any of the 'flying saucer' names present - were there
*any* German nuclear scientists present at Prague in early 1945?

The Foo Fighters are not usually quoted as being 45 m in diameter.
Whatever we think of Foo Fighters, we have to explain why the Germans and
the Japanese failed to exploit this technology in the last 50 years, and
why the Germans felt that these were some new Allied secret weapon.
