In 1945, under the fierce attack of the Allied forces, Nazi Germany was dying and dying.
However, the danger of desperation inspired German aircraft designers. They applied the latest technology at the time to the design of fighter planes in order to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
Therefore, it includes the high-speed Me-163 rocket fighter, the vertical take-off and landing Ba349 "Viper" rocket fighter, the jet-powered flying-wing Holden Ho-IX fighter, and the delta-wing Lippisch DM-1 (Lippisch Amazing designs such as DM-1) fighter jets and flying saucers were born.

1. "Fireball" aircraft
In 1944, it was claimed that some top-secret Nazi weapon research and development projects had been moved outside of Germany and came to Poland in order to avoid Allied air strikes. Blizna and other places-it was here that Allied crew members encountered the infamous "foo-fighters" for the first time, a group of small light-emitting spheres that often tracked Allied bombers.
■ In order to avoid Allied air strikes, the German army transferred many secret weapons projects abroad or underground. The picture shows the He-162 jet fighter production workshop in the underground cave.
"Flame Fighter" soon attracted the attention of the American news media. The New York Times reported on December 13, 1944, a news item approved by the Supreme Command of the Allied Expeditionary Force. The headline was "Floating Mystery Ball Is New Nazi Air Weapon." Air Weapon), the report read:
"According to the pilots of the U.S. Air Force, they encountered a silver sphere in German airspace. These spheres appeared in clusters from time to time individually, and they sometimes appeared translucent. This new device is obviously an anti-aircraft weapon, like a large glass ball decorated on a Christmas tree. There is currently no information to show why they behave like stars in the sky, and where they are sacred and sacred. What is the purpose."
According to the research of writer Renato Vesco, the "flame fighter" is actually a "Feuerbal aircraft" developed by Germany. It is "a very primitive The flying machine... is round and armored. It looks more or less like a tortoise shell. It is powered by a special jet turbine engine. The engine is also flat and has a circular cross section. It will produce dazzling flames. The halo...It is controlled by radio after takeoff, but it will automatically track the enemy aircraft, as if it is attracted by the exhaust gas discharged by the enemy aircraft, and can get close without collision, and it can also make The enemy’s radar equipment was paralyzed." Wesco claimed that the basic principle of the "fireball" was later applied to the "symmetrical circular plane" known as "Kugelblitz", which is even more of a "current flying saucer". The true prototype of ". He stated that this unbelievable aircraft was destroyed by the retreating SS after completing "a wartime fluke mission."
Even after 75 years, the public has become accustomed to not accepting any claims about flying saucers or UFOs, but the evidence before them has made the existence of this kind of aircraft hardly clear. Obviously, the Nazis had explored new and strange energy technologies. The extraordinary technological achievement of "Fireball" may provide us with a way into the core Nazi technology for the first time.

2. Schriever and Schuberg’s "Frisbee"
There are several writers who have studied the development of Nazi flying saucers. The British writer WA Harbinson (WA HaRbinson claimed that he had learned of a former Nazi air force engineer named Rudolph Schriever from German literature after the war.
According to Harbinson’s information from Der Spiegel, Bild am Sonntag, Luftfahrt International and other German publications, Schriever said It is said that a prototype named "Frisbee" was designed in 1941, and it was tested for flight in June 1942.
Schriever said that he built a larger flying disc in 1944, when his assistants were Klaus Habermohl and Otto Miethe. And the Italian Dr. Giuseppe Belluzzo (Dr. Giuseppe Belluzzo).
■The basic design of Schriever "Frisbee".
The drawing of this flying saucer was included in the "German Secret Weapons of the Second World War and Their Later Development" published by Britain in 1959. Its author is Major Rudolph Lusar, an engineer who worked in the Nazi Empire Patent Office and had access to many original designs and documents.
According to Lansa’s description, the appearance of this flying saucer is an independent ring with adjustable nozzles beside the cockpit. The entire aircraft is nearly 3 meters high and can fly vertically or horizontally, depending on the location of the jet.
Schriever said that afterwards, the Allied forces quickly captured Germany and his "Frisbee" experiment came to an end. All equipment and design drawings were either lost or destroyed. However, Georg Klein told the German media after the war that he had personally witnessed a test flight of a Schriever Frisbee or similar in February 1945.
According to reports, Schriever died in the late 1950s. In addition, according to the International Aviation Journal in 1975, his relics included various notes and sketches related to large flying saucers. The journal also pointed out that Schriever insisted from beginning to end that his flying saucer had been successfully tested before the end of the war.
This statement was also confirmed by British writer Brian Ford, who wrote: "The'flying saucer' has already reached the point where it is almost complete. In fact, Nazi Germany may There is indeed some progress in this area of small disk-shaped aircraft, but they must have been destroyed before they fell into the enemy's hands."
A CIA report on May 27, 1954 seemed to confirm these claims. As Nick Redfern mentioned in his 1998 book "The FBI Files: The FBI's UFO Top Secrets Exposed" (The FBI Files: The FBI's UFO Top Secrets Exposed), this document claims , A German newspaper (the specific name has not been further confirmed) recently interviewed the famous German engineer and aircraft expert George Klein, and talked about the development experiment of the'flying saucer' he participated in from 1941 to 1945.

Klein said that the first manned "flying saucer" was tested in 1945 and reached a speed of 1,300 miles per hour within 3 minutes (this high speed is obviously suspected of bragging). According to the results of the experiment, a total of three designs have been adopted-a disk-shaped aircraft designed by Mith, which is nearly 40 meters in diameter and does not rotate; Ring compositionThe design, placed in its center is a circular fixed cockpit. When the Soviets occupied Prague, the Germans first erased every trace of the "flying saucer" project, so no one had heard of Habermer and his assistants again.
In 2006, Schriever died in Bremen, where he used to live. The Soviet Union managed to capture a UFO designed by Mith in Breslau, and he fled to France and later went to live in the United States.
Another candidate for the invention of the German UFO is the Austrian scientist Victor Schauberger. After being kidnapped by the Nazis, he designed a number of "Frisbees" in 1940. They used An electromagnetic propulsion method called "diamagnetic" that does not emit flames or dense smoke.
According to reports, Schuberg briefly worked for the US government after the war and died of natural causes. He said this before his death: "They took everything from me, everything." But no one knows whether the "they" in his mouth refers to the Nazis or the Allies.

3. The post-war Nazi flying saucer
The public comments made by Lieutenant General Nathan Twining (Nathan Twining) shortly after the end of World War II clearly indicated that someone was investigating Those unconventional disk-shaped aircraft in Nazi Germany, when he was in the US Army Air Forces' Air Material Command (Army Air Forces' Air Material Command, AMC).
In the middle of 1947, two years after the end of the war, sightings of "flying saucers" were reported in Europe and the United States. General Twining wrote: "The reported phenomenon is unequivocal and cannot be explained by hallucinations or man-made fabrications." He went on to describe the characteristics of these discs, which are "highly climbing, mobile (especially turning circles). Ability) and avoidance behavior when detected or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, which makes people believe that these objects are manually manipulated, autonomously piloted or remotely manipulated."
as On the realistic analysis of this radical technology, Twenning concluded: "Within the existing knowledge of the United States-and then accepting extensive and detailed research and development guidance-to build a human-driven vehicle that meets the above description and can reach subsonic speeds. Flying vehicles are possible."
One question is, if the scientific and technological knowledge in the 1940s was advanced enough to make a viable flying saucer, why was it unheard of by the public?
■ After the war, the Allied forces conducted in-depth research on the saucer-shaped aircraft left over by the Nazis.
From the end of the 1940s, the military of various countries began to intervene in UFO sightings under the guise of national security. But the most fascinating incident occurred in September 1961, and it was also the first mysterious kidnapping recorded in detail: when Betty and Barney Hill were hypnotized, they remembered that they were being hypnotized. The person in the black uniform was kidnapped into the flying disc. Barney Hill insisted that those guys were "German Nazis" in shiny black tops, ties and hats.
Before anyone is eager to claim that all UFOs are secret Nazi technology, we should first start by carefully reviewing public documents. These documents prove that although the Nazis did seriously develop saucer-type flying vehicles, even the Allied forces did it soon after the war. It has also used its heritage to do experiments, but its level of development is still an unsolved mystery.
