This article and pictures were being imported from the original website about the THE REAL FLYING SAUCERS, www.usafflyingsaucers.com. Unfortunately, the site is now non-existent due to non-funding and lack of maintenance. I just want to relay a message here whether we believe or not, that man has already been built a flying saucer actually flying saucers without declaring it publicly due to unknown reasons. What you are about to read is still classified “TOP SECRET” by the United States Air Force. Now, after 60 years, the true story of the U.S. involvement into the design and construction of “Flying Saucers” can now finally come to light. This is not your run-of-the-mill “light in the sky” saucer story. In this case, the dates, names, and locations of very specific personnel and hardware can now be identified, which point to a very “terrestrial” explanation for many of the “UFO” sightings beginning since 1947. THE REAL STORY: The case for U.S. built flying wing disc aircraft (aka flying saucers) begins with an unprecedented true account by a retired WWII combat veteran and publisher, herein referred to as “Jack”. During the 1960’s, and on into 1972, Jack and his business associate Harold published for the Air Force certain house-organ magazines (club-calendar-events) for NCO and Officer’s Club facilities for several military bases in Florida. It was 1967 when the Adjutant General’s Office at MacDill AFB (Tampa Florida) proposed a front cover, and two-and-a-half page article within. The subject was Vintage, Historical or Experimental aircraft. THEY DO EXIST: Jack and Harold learned that some experimental jet aircraft were being stored at the base salvage/scrap-yard (see picture 2, illustration 3 & 4). These particular aircraft had already been decommissioned/declassified, and were parked directly outside, and NOT in a hangar. In September of 1967, both Jack and Harold drove together to where these aircraft were being parked. Upon arriving at the chain link fence, which surrounded the perimeter of the base near the scrap-yard, Jack first saw the most awe-inspiring aircraft ever built. Jack’s initial thought was: “My gosh! |
Those are Flying Saucers! Those things really do exist!”. There, parked outside on a taxi-way near the base scrap-yard, were four flying wing discs, measuring 20, 40, 70 and 116 feet in diameter (see arrow MacDill AFB aerial photo #2). Jack recalled that the chain link fence was only 50 feet from were the discs were parked. Because they were the last remaining of their model, the Master Sergeant of the Non-Commissioned Officer’s Club telephoned the Adjutant General’s Office for permission for polaroid photographs to be taken, even though all of the tires were completely flat down to their wheel rims. The Master Sergeant stated to Jack that he was not sure what these aircraft were for, but thought they might be some sort of “test” aircraft. The General’s Office suggested that Jack use higher quality official Air Force photographs available at the Adjutant General’s library at MacDill. Apparently, the Air Force wanted to make a good impression, and did not want to release photos of these aircraft with flat tires and at least one sagging landing gear strut (see sub-heading Large Disc).Jack was also informed that it would not take long to bring these aircraft back up to “flying status”. Jack was issued for his article, the highest security clearance ever given to any civilian publisher due to his prior work with SAC/TAC/Navy/Army bases. Under armed military guard, Jack was personally shown literally hundreds of official U.S.A.F. photographs of these aircraft in formation flight, on the tarmac, and was shown portions of motion picture footage of these aircraft in flight (see aerial photos/illustrations 12-20).
Jack was allowed to select those photographs best suited for the up-coming NCO Club newsletter article, and obtain additional detailed information concerning the discs. It’s important to note, that these four aircraft are NOT to be confused with the well known Avro VZ-9 Avrocar, Chance Vought V-173 “Flying Pancake”, Project Silverbug, or the Chance Vought XF5U-1.
