UFOs & Aliens

Many claims that Germany had developed a flying saucer during World War II abound. The story goes this way. The Nazis were working on flying saucers, I use the plural because I have seen several different types discussed, but never completed one before the end of the war or simply didn't have enough tomake any difference. Some even go so far as to say some of the NAZIs fled to the North Pole to underground bases and took the few disks that worked. All one has to do is go onto the internet and there are many stories on this subject each one a little or a lot different than the one before.

We all know that the Germans during the war had the most advanced weapons, thanks to the thousands of scientists and engineers that they had assembled. Just looking at those advanced weapons today still astounds us. There were rockets, both guided and unguided, jet planes, rocket planes, and much, much more. So it is easy to see why some may feel that there are things we never learned at the end of the war, things that were just too advanced to share with the general public.

The Schriever-Habermohl was a disk shaped aircraft that was supposed to have been developed in the last years of the war. It was essentially a dome with a rotating rim which was very flat. All models were supposed to have been destroyed by the Germans so they wouldn't fall into enemy hands. A different version of the story states the Russians got one but we found a German scientist who worked on it, his name was Miethe, and brought him to the U.S..

Most people regard the stories of Nazi saucers as a complete myth. Some of the stories get pretty elaborate. I like the one where it is said that the Japanese put a saucer together from parts that had been crated up and sent to Japan, after Germany had lost the war, by a submarine. It goes on further to say that the Japanese flew the saucer which belched smoke and flames and it so scared them that they had it destroyed. I am sorry but I can't imagine any weapon that would have scared the Japanese.

After the war certain German groups asserted that Germany was not the only country to construct experimental saucers. It is not clear what countries they are talking about. No one can deny that the Germans were years ahead in rocket propulsion. They even had small rockets that they could attach to planes to help give them lift. Maybe they were experimenting with a saucer shaped rocket powered craft.

There are other possibilities regarding the sighting of German UFOs, they may have been something else that looked like saucers. One person states that the Germans constructed a craft which was designated the V-7. It looked very much like a saucer but was concealing jet powered blades at the bottom. It was really, according to the story, a jet powered helicopter. This is a possibility since the Germans were known to have been involved in early helicopter development. The problem with this story is that the vehicle might have been unstable because of the design. The Germans did have some experimental aircraft that were pancake shaped but with highly visible propellers attached to them.

Some of these stories get truly strange. It is said that the Germans knowing the war was lost took their saucers along with equipment and supplies, loaded them on to several ships and submarines and sailed for a huge underground base they had constructed at the North Pole and are living there to this day along with their descendants.

If the Germans truly had a flying saucer then what was the power source? There is a story for this too. It is said that SS Captain Hans Coler had developed a device that converted gravitional and magnetic energy into electricity. This must have been the best kept secret in the world. A citation is listed on a few web sites across the internet, it is British Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee final report No. 1043 ITEM No. 31 titled The Invention of Hans Coler, I tried looking it up with no luck, maybe someone out there can do better. If you find the document which is supposed to be declassified please let me know, by clicking here.

So were there German saucers and did some Germans flee with them? It doesn't look like we have too much evidence to support this, but wouldn't it make a great story?
