Believe it or not, the Americans developed the first flying saucer during WW2. The Vought Flying Pancake, and its successor the Flying Flapjack, had disc-shaped bodies, supposedly more aerodynamic than conventional aircraft. While these were never used in combat, flying wing technology would eventually culminate in America's Grumman Spirit stealth bomber

However, it was the Germans who invented "stealth".

However, taking advantage of the title of this thread, ufo's do exist.  I have seen one on several occasions.  30 years ago when this was all farmland, you had a direct view of the high tension powerlines that run through here.  We used to watch the "cable bugs" hover under the wires.  We chased one once, got close enough to see that it was something manufactured and not natural.  Each time it showed up 5 minutes later the air would be filled with small planes from the local air park.  5 minutes after that, the heavies would show up from McGuire Air base.  Each time it would dissappear over the orchard.  The river being right there, that's where it would hide.  The AF knew it was there, half the damn county knew about them.  But when questioned, the authorities said it was "ST. Elmo's fire".  Anyone who had been at sea for any time, knew it wasn't.
 
I often wonder if the Gov. isn't playing semantics with us.  If they know exactly what it is and where it came from, then it wouldn't be unidentified.  What I can tell you, is that the object we chased several times and flew right over us was no natural occurance.

Red, can you tell me what this "cable bug" looked like? It sounds like some sort of experimental aircraft (perhaps an early unmanned drone)

Here's another flying saucer, the British Avrocar. This was just one of many strange craft we were testing to get one up on Ivan

By the very definition of the acronym...I have seen dozens. They were at the moment.. 'unidentified' and 'flying' (not floating..iow. they were under propulsion of some sort) And were hence an an 'object' because I could not define or identify them as any other.
 
I once saw an object in Central West Texas that turned out to be an F117 flying at night observing my unit conducting training operations. Because the bird was highly classified yet.... we had no idea what the frack it was...it was there moving nearly silently and then gone.
 
Couple weeks later I was shown some camera tape by my Ops Officer... showing me and 7 other guys walking across the high plateau in a an excellent V formation. Supposedly to go make contact with a 'pretended' downed Apache pilot. That was the training mission. An SAR ops.
 
When I asked him who the frock shot the tape he replied with a laugh....USAF assets on high...giving us cover. Iow..it was a joint training ops that we had no foreknowledge of. Had no need to know etc...
 
The problem is not that UFOs exist..by definition..for they do.
 
And that many can be explained away as a result of extant knowledge and experience and technology.. for they can.
 
But when there is no rational explanation and or basis to draw a C/C to the aforementioned....it is not the observer who doubts generally.
 
It is Science at large.
 
Who convienently, has no immediate or subsequent answer necessarily either.
 
And yet.. all to often merely scoffs at the implausibility of a sighting, rather then do what they have been allegedly taught to do...which is investigate and maintain their scientific objectivity.
 
And they really hate it when the veracity and experience of a witness lends credibility to the occurrence of observation. Because that individual/s, for example, has been trained to be an excellent observer of his/her whereabouts and ongoing conditions and surroundings, topography, weather, and critical conditions that might effect mission performance and objectives accomplishment.
 
Don't believe me? Then go out on to the desert floor with no moon, in blackout drive conditions and conduct a  ground mounted zone recon or movement to contact. Or fly at 600 feet and do it. Even with night vision and thermals this is no easy task. Now compound it with a threat of unknown objects/aircraft flying overhead. Objects/Aircraft virtually silent or silent...lit up or not and with no previous experience basis from which to id them.
 
As a former qualified aerial and ground observer and scout..with 20 plus years of uniformed experience....when I tell ya that what I have seen was unknown and flying that's what I mean. Doesn't mean it's an ET.....but it don't mean it is not one either.

Here's another odd plane that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. It's the American VXT-8 coleopter, based on French experiments with VTOL after WWII

Does a UFO have to be alien or does it qualify simply because it is unidentified?

Ha ha ha, medenaywe, send me a copy of the application and I'll give it a look. Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Yes thank you, CV, for the clarification. I thought it might be as you have defined, but I thought it better for the clarification. Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

UFOs are undoubtedly man-made experimental military aircraft. Rumors of extraterrestrials were spread to conceal the truth

Nick, without a doubt, the military or whoever, used the UFO phenom. as a cover for X craft over the years.  But not all sightings fit that slot.  You asked what the craft I saw looked like.  It was small, disc. shaped.  It had the ability to hover and moved eratically.  When it became aware of small planes in the area it could accelarate and move in such a manner that if a human were in it that person would be squished against the inside of the craft.
Nick, this sighting happened in 1970, we still don't have a craft capable of moving like this did.

Could it have been some sort of remote control craft or experimental missile?

The Nazis designed the first flying saucers in the 1930s. The Sack AS-6 V-1 was an experimental fighter proposed in 1944. However, it was difficult to control and was badly damaged after its first flight. Instead of repairing it, the Germans broke it up for firewood!

My mother claims to have seen one in the early 70s, she was 16 at the time. It came quite close, hovering over the garden of her uncle's house. She says it lit up the whole neighborhood with its bright red light.

Sure! but not ours.Wink
 
Nick, my dad was with me the first time we spotted it.  He was a trained AAA gunnery director in WW2.  He was the one that figured out that it was a small object close, and not vice versa.  Aside from that, he was also involved in several top secret research projects that gave him a very good idea as to what we were capable of at that time.  Two other things, If it was something of ours, why would McGuire Air Base scramble fighters?  2nd, once over the orchard it had no place to go, except for the river.  I'm pretty sure we don't have a submersible aircraft, then or now.

Perhaps the craft you saw was some sort of Russian plane? Ivan built several aircraft with circular wings, like this 1960s cropduster

The first "flying saucer" was actualy invented in early 30' s, and the first small scale prototype already fly in 1932

 [TUBE]fQjm6mgJSSM&feature=gv&hl=ro[/TUBE]

It was invented by Henri Coanda, and the large one (1 on 1 scale) was supposed to use a type of jet engine (he also invented since 1910). He even get a patent for it in 1935, in France.
It is said that Nazis get their hands on those papers, in 1940, and try to make some "flying saucers" too. Dates about this are usualy little, it is not mentioned too often. Ofcourse, there are other conspiracy theories about even more exotic models, fact is that the flying saucers start to be more visible (more apparitions) after WW 2.

If some of them are alien, that might be true as well, i have little doubts that there arent others in the Universe

Its propulsion was similar to a VTOL jet: air was sucked in from above and expelled from the bottom. To steer the craft, it had to be tilted

Check out Project Lunex or USAF A119 and Project Horizon.
Note the vehicle description (in Lunex) and the difference in time between that and what becomes a shuttle.
