No evivdence of the kind of documentation the Germans were fanatics
about (remember the V-2 paperwork was measured in TONS).
No engineering principles that make sense - the Coanda effect is
basically an offshoot of Bernoulli's principle, and won't get you
anywhere near the lift needed for a heavy, high-speed craft, and
the rest is all talk of nonexistent, usually impossible, principles
and hardware, from antigravity to "vril." THe idea the winning powers
have succeeded in keeping revolutionary technology top-secret over 60
years (while never actually doing anythign useful with it) is
hysterical.


You fail to understand the concept of conspiracy theory. "They," whomever they are, are sitting on evidence for no other reason than they can.

When someone like aren't says there was an Antarctic battle involving nuclear weapons yet can't provide a shred of verifiable proof it's because there was a cover up. You aren't supposed to ask where the detritus of war is. Never mind many people have been to the "battle field" since it supposedly occurred and haven't found expended small arms brass, C or K ration trash, human waste, body parts etc that litter every battle field. Three atomic weapons used tactically would have left evidence visible to this day yet no one has seen it. No one has seen the secret underground u-boat base in Antarctica despite decades of exploration and surveys by many nationalities.
