The idea of the flying saucer can be traced back to first being conceived by Nazi Germany. During World War II, Hitler employed scientists to work full-time in developing weaponry of all sorts. The goal was to win the war through superior weapons technology. These German war machines included a flying saucer program, as these real UFOs were envisioned flying at super-sonic speeds. To develop and build them, three of Germany's top scientists created three different credible designs for the flying saucer, with each of them developing three working prototypes. Amazingly, three different research facilities were reported to have three different flying saucer models, capable of flying.
Near the end of World War II, Germany had turned out incredible rocket, jet-engine, and flying saucer technologies. They ran out of time, before their super-weapons could be full developed and implemented to win the war for Hitler.
But the flying saucer technology was not lost, for both Russia and the United States were able to capture some of the German scientists responsible for the Nazi killing machines. This eventually led to the Cold War, as fears of what the other country might be scheming and building took hold.
The U.S. captured three of the flying saucer scientists, and interestingly, the first flying saucer sightings occurred soon after the war, in 1947. Pilot Kenneth reported seeing nine flying discs speeding above Mt. Rainier in Washington State. Being an experienced pilot, he was able to calculate their air speed based upon the landscape. He estimated them flying at 1200 mph, and was the first to describe the new aircraft as "saucers." Of course, the U.S. Military was quick to deny having any disc-shaped aircraft.
Soon after this sighting of flying saucers, the news
media also picked up the story of aliens and UFO
wreckage being discovered in Roswell, New Mexico,
the same year. Again, the U.S. Military denied having
discovered such a thing, but explained the find was
really just a weather balloon. But, these two events
began the flying saucer craze that swept across the
globe. Soon, many people would come forward to
claim they, too, had seen a flying saucer. Some
people would begin faking UFO photographs by
throwing a trash can lid, or similarly shaped object, into
the air while snapping pictures. Hollywood quickly
jumped on-board and created numerous alien and
flying saucer movies to feed the growing public
interest. But, did the United States have flying saucer
technology? Yes, they did.
| By the 1950s, a British aeronautical engineer who had developed the swept-wing, tail-less fighter, became intrigued with the Nazi flying saucers. He eventually interviewed one of the German scientists, Dr. Miethe, who showed Frost photos of the German flying saucers, and told him they worked ten years on their development, hacing succeeded in building a flyable prototype. Frost was soon convinced he could build a flying saucer, and soon began working on it at the Avro aircraft factory in Canada, 1952. By 1953, his first flying saucer model dubbed "Project Y" was initially tested, but its tail-wing design was scrapped.
