Nailed it! Very Well Done!!

Love how the authors covers a wide variety of man made UFO’s which even those themselves are astonishing, let alone the ones that go on to remain unexplained! A must read for anyone interested in the UFO field of research!

A significant contribution

Although the extraterrestrial 'answer' has gotten most of the press, many important events were never adequately explained. The 'foo fighters' seen during the war were real, but not until a researcher located a document that included details about 'phoo bombs' did something official get added to the story. And the 'ghost rockets' seen over northern Europe in 1946 never got an adequate explanation either, although the Russians had definitely taken over the German research station at Peenemunde. Somehow, that was forgotten in 1947 when private pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something flying near Mount Ranier. What was it? In his report to the Air Force, he drew a spade shaped object, on the cover of his own book, it becomes semicircular, and a photo shows him holding a painting of what is clearly a particular type of flying wing, the Horten IX. This book provides a solid foundation. Add to that what Rudolf Lusar published in the German title, Waffen und Geheimwaffen, and a clearer picture emerges. Then add in Flying Saucer Aircraft by Bill Rose. Recommended.

Well researched, a bit dated but still worthwhile read

This impressive tome results from very extensive research in both newspapers and technical papers. The documents quoted extend back into the 1920s and 30s ( and perhaps earlier ). The authors take roughly half the book covering Nazi experiments and operational planning. While much information seems to have been suppressed during the war ( and to this day ), there is obviously much available upon which to propound several theories. The two most important theories are: 1) there was extensive German research done concerning unique airframes and propulsion systems, and 2) that research was continued by Allied and Soviet governments well after the war ended, sometimes with the original German researchers. I strongly recommend this book for anyone convinced that we are being visited by extraterrestrials, and not being duped by government incompetents.

A Truly Interesting Look at UFOs and Their Possible Origin

This title is an update of a book originally published in 1971 that was a real eye - opener for me. This updated version has all of the excitement of the first book plus new material. It is a well researched volume that gives what I believe is very good evidence that real UFOs are high - performance aircraft made here on Earth. The book does not provide proof that real UFOs are manufactured here, but does provide historical information that points to a short period of incredible research and development from about 1938 to 1950. German scientists then were even better than many of us know, and most of us have known that they were extremely good. Apparently, Germany's super weapons which were under development in World War II had considerable basis in fact, and some of them observed by American pilots and bomber crews over Germany, were not only operational, but were effective. According to the authors, these weapons were subsequently further developed by the victors after the war and were made operational. Well documented sightings such as the "Lubbock Lights" in the Texas panhandle and saucers (confirmed by radar) over Washington D.C. are among the most famous appearances described. The authors do a convincing job of giving reasons for UFO development, the basics of how they worked and how manufacturing could have been kept secret from the public. It is an impressive read.

Essential if you wanna know what is really flying out there.

Thing is, the UFO story is one where one has to dedicate a lot of time before he could even come close to any informed view about it. What is really flying out there, and more importantly, is there anything weird or "non-earthly" flying out there at all?? That's what this book tackles. Flying craft having the appearance of the now cult "flying disc" were on the drawing boards since the 30s actually. This is fact, proven by several documents that the Nazis left behind. Whether these craft actually ever flew or were tested reamins a question, but there is enough evidence to suggest that not only they did fly, but that such craft were actually tested all through the 50s the 60s and the 70s. It's quite plausible that "flying disc§ shaped craft are today's most precious military secret. From there on it gets foggy. Why are they still a secret? That question begs an answer, an answer that for the time being ahs not been adequately answered. But for anyone interested in the topic, this is essential reading. It's a very well "constructed" book, it provides actual data (photos, diagrams, dates, names, documents)..And it attempts (to a very satisfactory degree) to sift through the myth and the truth. You cant call yourself a serious researcher in the UFO lore without having read this.

This is the best book on "Man-Made" UFOs

Packed with illustrations, this is the best book on the unusual subject that many UFOs are part of a top-secret project that began during WWII. Vesco was an Italian aircraft engineer who knew what he was talking about. He claims that Foo Fighters were developed in Germany, as were "discoid" craft. These German scientists then were moved to New Mexico where they created the secret space program. This book will amaze the reader with many references and the history of Project Paperclip scientists and the genisis of "flying saucers" made on Earth by humans. I love this book!
