Good one!!
And the Austrians had the Raspberry Krapfen
And sadly, the Swedish airforce just came up with a "Flying barrel" ....

You covered in less than 20 minutes what the history channel could stretch out for a whole season
The channel is the tv equivalent to click bait now. Why show actual history when Nostradamus, the Pyramids, Nazis and aliens get more views.

Yes...but that is for those who don't want to know many many interesting details which can not be put in only 20 minutes.....
You are legitimately one of the most educational channels I listen to. Thank you for your hard work for these videos.
I had heard an interesting theory about the UFO conspiracy. The theory goes that it was actually started by the CIA itself. The reason was that they were aware of German flying saucer research (even if the claims were exaggerated they thought it was at least possible) and they were afraid that the Soviets had captured enough research to make their own version. Their biggest fear was a sort of Sputnik scenario (before sputnik) where the Soviets seemed to have vastly superior tech and disenfranchise the public. So they used their WWII connections to Hollywood to put out the thought that if any American saw a flying saucer in the sky their initial thought was in aliens rather than a soviet spy plane. After all, the CIA couldn't care less if people thought aliens were real but they cared a whole lot if Americans thought Communism was superior to Capitalism. Then this conspiracy took on a life of its own. Years later the CIA would reshape the theory to disguise their secret stealth research so now alien craft where thought of by enthusiasts to be triangles or some other shape and not saucers, so if the public saw a weird triangle shaped craft they wouldn't start talking about covert American research but think it was an alien craft. I don't know if this theory is true but its at least interesting.
I'm pretty sure there's at least one case where one "UFOlogist" was being purposely fed disinformation by the US government
That’s a damn good theory
Flying saucers are a human invention and we all know what they are there not a " UFO"" Canada even built one but it did not fly very well , plus the Germans did build some not sure how many or are they still on the drawing board even Tesla made one on paper , and they where built to be used as a floating platform for guns then they could hover and shoot and kill people , they where never where built for space travel , no Aliens used them for space travel , why like i say its a human invention , Holy Wood are the ones to create Aliens into the picture of Flying saucers, plus if real Aliens come here they will come in something way bigger then a tiny Flying saucer , there is no conspiracy its just this how well we are educated about flying saucers and who invented them . Tesla saucer is the most advanced saucer drawn on paper the rest of them used jet engines for lift same as the one that Canada built just one and can be seen on film as scientist and pilots test them , one even crashed in the desert most known test that failed and was a big cover up on what really crashed in the desert , the story is that it got in range of a radio disk the radio field messed with the saucers drive system and it failed to produce lift the craft crashed in the desert, the radio disk was to powerful for use , the two who worked the radio disk got cancer and died the radio disk was removed and replaced with one that had a lower out put and produced less EMF . EMF can give some one cancer if a person is exposed for too long well there you go . bye for know have a nice day and look out for Aliens just kidding .
That's along the same lines as my personal theory. I suspect that there's a break away group who have harnessed our own research in these fields and used it for personal profit and use. We've made enormous strides in terms of technology but friends who have worked in the US navy as decoders assure me that what the public knows about is at least 25 years behind what is actually available. Can you imagine what we may achieve in the next 25 years if we continue at the current pace. Or should I say the pace of the late 2000's as we have definitely slowed down.
The theory is circular. But-for the fact the CIA concealed the German UFO research, they wouldn't need to worry about UFOs being attributed to communism. I.e. if UFOs were actually a product of Hitlers Germany, the CIA need only reveal that _"truth"_ to disprove the "communism is better because it produced UFOs" argument. But the CIA doesn't deal in truth, and that is not the truth. The truth is the powers that be care _very much_ what the public thinks about the existence of aliens, because the germans got the tech from aliens as did the others. And they want to use that tech to hoax an ET threat to humanity.

I personally think the projects did exist in Germany at the time, but the results were grossly exaggerated by the the people involved in an effort to gain more funding/support. Then after the war, it also served the survivors to exaggerate their results in the hopes of getting employment/protection from the US.
wrong, but whatever. More like some other folks exaggerate (and literally fabricates things) to follow through on the Balfour dec agenda, but whatever. Then after the war, it all went dark.

Mark Felton goes into UFOs... Perfect! The point of the UAP/UFO report was to get everyone talking about this phenomenon sans ridicule... Nothing more. I know you did the video prior to the report's release but it shows that everyone is now willing to discuss this. I'm 56 and part of the generation that ridicule's UFOs. But my kids' generation does not and openly discusses this because of videos like these. Love your work, Mark.
Speak for yourself on UFOs. I'm 70 & have believed in them since I was around 5 when I asked my Mom if there were " others" " out there" while looking at a night sky. I have never ridiculed anyone.
Disks and other shaped aerial craft have been described from the very earliest times.. I being a former Soldier has seen 2 UFOs 1 was triangle shaped hovering near a now defunct nuclear power station at approx 12:20pm others seen it back at around 17:00hrs. Not long after this I saw a cylinder passing right over where I live and carry on over to the NE over my town into Scotland. Do not laugh at thinks that you have not witnessed. The Germans had flying disks. There were photos of not film of these off the ground.. Just like the atom bomb that the Nazis did test detonate on another island near the missile experimental range. According to witness's this did occur and including a ME262 Test Pilot who shouldn't have been flying over that area at that time and witnessed the flash Mushroom cloud .
Amazing historical research done here... just like everything else you've done, Mark. Well done!

You haven’t seen lost battlefields with Tino Struckmann?
my grandmother told me about seeing 2 nazi disk shaped aircraft in WW2, she said this was near the wars end and mentioned to me about them as we discussed the topic of ufo's in the 1960's. She said that they were a extremely secret project and she what able to see them fly by just being in the right place at the right time accidentally. Although she was threatened by the military, but as a German woman playing ignorant of things, after being threatened and told this is not to be spoken about or else, she was released, and good to her word, for 25 years she never mentioned them, except to me shortly before her earthly existence ended. They are real, and the Avro flying disk was to use the ground effect to be able to get to speed for take off and flight over damaged runways and not take off vertically as often stated.
Maybe now after 80 years they have improved the take off part, as we can see via a lot of videos they can fly vertically or horizontally at will. I saw myself a UFO on the cloud back in 2019 and now I became a UFO enthusiast.
Dr. Felton has the most impeccable timing with his videos, not that any of you care but I had a long , Rough week. So when I find one of the Dr,'s videos I can't help but get lost within the content. Thank you for all you do , Doc. It means a lot to someone like me, Doing the work you do.

I have copies of the Allied reports. They are 100% authentic.
Der Glocken
High energy active radar as used by the Germans, in certain weather conditions can create atmospheric plasma, so as the radar tracked aircraft it could appear to pilots as if a ball of something was flying along with them.
You compressed into the quarter of an hour what takes the history channel a three hour special.

@Nitro Martini oh yeah forgot about that
We all have no idea what really went on with flying saucers. Mark makes a lot of assumptions here. Surely we dont all believe the history books to be 100% true?
There is alot to look at when examining these subjects. The vehicles examined here are very conventional in their power plants, propulsive forces and methods of producing lift. The only thing pictured that represents what most people think of when they hear "German flying saucers" was the plastic model diorama photo. The Haunebu series craft, if they indeed existed, supposedly did not use conventional power generation, or propulsive force generating systems. These likely used an electro-gravitic method of motion. If you want to know more about electro-gravitics, look up a chap named Thomas Townsend Brown. He began his research into gravity manipulation back in the 1920's. A very fascinating individual. This is a seriously fascinating subject, and deserves attention, as it was and still is an important part of our journey to master aviation, and physics. So much of the history of this aspect of aeronautics has been done under the cover of secrecy, that it can be difficult to separate the disinformation from the true information. Do your research. Make up your own mind. Enjoy the jouney! : )
When I was a little boy growing up in France in the early 70's my parents bought me that hard cover comic book ( sort of ) about WW2 weapons and I clearly remember 10 pages about a Nazi Flying saucer... The whole thing was perfectly depicted and according to them the flying saucer flew perfectly and even reached speeds up to 2200 km/h 😄😄😄 Of course, it completely fascinated the imagination of a 8-year old little boy 😄😄😄 but looking back I don't think it was true... But, regardless, and in spite of what Mark Felton says everybody knows the Nazis ended up building secret bases in Antarctica with crazier weapons and from there they went to the moon...I even watched a movie about it 😄😄😄
Der Fuhrer doesn't like telltales
3:30 even when the flying saucer is man made and the photographer was involved in building it, you still get only grainy photos. Something about flying discs makes them impervious to photography.
It's the advanced anti photography field that surrounds such projects, they built a portable version for big foot 🙂

An interesting omission from this, otherwise, fine report was the work that was commissioned or more likely coerced from Victor Schaumberger. The Austrian hydraulics expert whose concepts and designs caught the attention of some of the German engineers who saw the potential in his radical approach to fluid dynamics and propulsion. Although, it was rumored that the peace-loving man tried to slow-walk his efforts to deprive the Germans of any advantages that could be realized from his work, a working prototype "vortex" motor was built and had the ability to provide lift to a sizeable craft. Saucer-shaped or otherwise. As far as the Canadian Avrocar, there is a high probability that this project was an intentional red-herring intended to divert attention from other projects that were being carried out by the Air Force. T. Thomas Townsend had been building flying disc models in his private laboratory in Zanesville, Ohio as early as the 1930's. His models employed a di-electric, high voltage system that seemingly could reduce the inertial mass of a vehicle thus permitting conventional propulsion systems the ability to lift off and land vertically. The B-2 stealth bomber reportedly uses a variation of this effect in its design.
Yeah, the Avrocar was probably a cover story to distract the public and low level military personnel.
So you believe that all the UFOs flying around USA and other countries as well as the Moon nowadays are American crafts?
"Of that we can be sure". But can we? ( X-files theme music plays) He he.. Thanks Mark. Another interesting, informative and entertaining video. Just keep them coming!
We can say that Dr. Felton will be our history teacher of internet. Good job, Doc, you discovered more historical happenings.
I’m a sucker for conspiracy theories, alternative timelines, and all the “what if” of history…. As long as they are confronted in a serious way and devoid of cheap sensationalism… precisely how Dr. Felton does things, as usual great episode.
NAzi germany was able to fly flying disc, but when they knew the war was lost they dismantled them for scraps . . never to mass produce them. but fragments of plans and part where found and got shipped out
The way I heard it the device that flew and later attacked Admiral Bird when he went to Antarctica was the Nazi Bell and was shaped like a bell and had a large spinning disc made of quartz and electrical components imbedded in the disc. It created anti gravitational properties. A few prototypes were made but it was developed too late for mass production. I heard that this group of scientist were also gather along with Von Braun in operation Paper Clip.
You should check out Robert Sepehr videos on the subject.
@@phill1422 good recommendation! Thanks
Conspiracy theories like the Gunpowder Plot, the Linclon assassination, Standard Oil, the Chicago 7, Iran-Contra, etc., etc. Let's get real, instead of believeing organized crime like the CIA, conspiracies do happen, they're not usually just theories.
The wartime work of what William Mills Tompkins in this area is an eye opener, especially who he worked for, where he worked, and who was his ultimate boss, makes interesting reading as are his published books. Some of his interviews are on KZhead.

Iron Sky was brilliant in that it depicted the very likely outcome of failure for the Nazi invasion force. It only makes sense that in isolation on the Moon, their technology, cutting edge in 1945, would have stagnated and severely lagged behind that of Earth by the new millennium.

One thing I have never understood it what is the supposed advantage of a circular object over other shapes? I know the WW2 USN projects were to try and develop a Vertical or Short Take Off & Landing (VTOL/STOL) aircraft, with special attention being given to the idea of equipping Escort Carriers or merchant ships with them and that the design was supposed to facilitate that. As for the the orhers, I draw a blank as to what they were supposed to do because of their odd shape
Aerodynamics, ig? or the ability to turn in one axis easily? Doesn't matter, UFOs are useless in combat at least anyway.

Mark Felton is a paid DUPE. a misinformation specialist !
Given the apparent success of 'winged' aircraft it's interesting there was such an investment to digress from a well-known and very operational aircraft construction - what was the rationale behind the desire to change? How did anything 'round' add to the ROI of flight? Where did the original idea come from (overall) and for those that 'saw it'..., what was the inherent driver for change?
Annular wings was an intriguing concept that might, it was hoped, eliminate wingtip vortices, a major form of drag. Same with disc wings.
The Avrocar, the most expensive leaf- blower in history!
A 100 years ahead. Now the build Drones which can be flown like motorbikes.
Or a deliberate disinformation project.
I think the Avrocar was a distraction made to be shown to the public as a flop. That's why in the 60's when someone reported a sighting, the Air force would come out, question you, then tell you that you saw Swamp Gas. I remember it. A lot of those are our machines.
The Avrocar was probably a cover story to funnel money into working on a real flying saucer.
@@yesyesyesyes1600 Well, maybe about 60 years ahead. Actually I’m baffled as to the purpose of this device - a constantly running fan without enough power to lift itself out of ground effect level? That sounds as if it would be heavy on fuel consumption. The Brits managed to make actual hovercraft that could do real work only a few years later, but they seem to have pretty much vanished from regular use, in these emissions-conscious days. Even if it could have soared up into the sky, the suggestion that flying it in post-WW3 times, after all the runways have been nuked, isn’t exactly compelling. Don’t we have helicopters to do that stuff and that actually work? And where do you put the guns, or the bombs? From the vantage point of the 21st century the whole project looks like a complete waste of time and resources. Just as well it kept the Nazis busy, if only briefly.
When WWII ended, everyone threw their hats in the air and couldn’t find them again. And legend about Flying Saucers was born... :c)
They all took flight to Hogwarts
Another great video! You should do the sinking of the Roma and the Fritz X
Love all your documentaries Mark. One small thing: have you noticed how the sound of your voice dropped just before you start a new segment? Can that be resolved?
Modern drones seem to operate on the idea of multiple fan blades to hover and for directional control. It's not too difficult to see one looking like a saucer if someone just put a shell around the frame of the drone.
Didnt that darn there bell thing rotate
Drones are more like helicopters in their operation. The flying saucers were meant to be VTOL aircraft capable of combat. The problem is that a disk is probably the worst wing design you can try to fly with: airflow spills off in all directions. Even with modern computers many of the stealth designs become aerodynamically unstable if the fly-by-wire fails. Basically no one developed the flying saucer because helicopters and aircraft like the Harrier did the job far better.
I too am struck by the drawing showing multiple rotors and how it looks like a drone encased in a saucer wing.
you haven't considered the weight of the aircraft body and the power/weight ratio of a drone vs a full-sized, manned flying saucer.
@@commander31able60 I did not mean to imply anything about the power to weight ratio, which as you say wouldn't favour a drone encased in a saucer lifting body.
If the 'Avrocar' was fitted with a skirt, it looks like it would make a pretty decent hovercraft.
It appeared to rise into ground effect, and had some directional control. If it ever lifted out of ground effect, it might have had serious control issues, and might need aero surfaces, like the flying flapjack, that was successful in a test program.
I’d be really interested in your approach to the what if of Luftwaffe’46 had the war continued etc. Regardless keep up the cracking work!
Die Glocke appears to be still in the realms of myth, but there have been some striking parallels with The Bell and what was witnessed at Rendlesham Forest, by American servicemen, namely the strange _'Runes'_ around the perimeter of the craft..

Another German "Flying Saucer" type design was the Focke-Wolfe "Rochen". An interesting note many do not realize is that the first widely reported "flying saucer" report by Kenneth Arnold over Mount Rainier in Washington was not of a Saucer, but of nine Crescent-Shaped craft. Interestingly, if one compares the drawing Arnold made of what he saw to one of the Flying Wing designs of the Horton Brothers, one would see a striking similarity. The Hortons' Flying wings did fly, and the US even completed Flying Wing bomber prototypes that flew, being the YB-35 and YB-49. While officially, the only surviving Horton craft sits in the Smithsonian, I have to wonder how else Kenneth Arnold would have been able to draw something so close to what at the time would be a highly classified aircraft design that few would be privy to unless he possibly actually saw one?
More interesting if one compares the UFOs to Arnolds instrument lights, one sees a very non Horton Brothers correlation.
@Ivanhoe ॐ Hopefully you are joking.
That may explain all the donuts they've been selling since their founding in 1964.

@@glenchapman3899 possibly modifications by the nazis and probably building a few or more in or close to the U.S. . . flying them covertly ? 🤔

The first object to enter space, was the projectile from "the Paris gun".
Nowhere near: "The gun was capable of firing a 106-kilogram (234 lb) shell to a range of 130 kilometres (81 mi) and a maximum altitude of 42.3 km" Space "starts" at 100km (the Kármán Line).
That’s false but okay-
"The Flying Pancake" can be seen at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, Dallas, Texas. It is definitely worth seeing in person if you are in the area!
Some bored German engineer draws a circle on a piece of paper. “You know, für kinder.” History Channel: “Secret Flying Saucers of the Third Reich!”
The engineers and scientists probably got Goodrun Himmler to draw on paper while her father was visiting, and then included them in the files, thinking "When we eventually lose the war, this will give the Allies something to think about for years!"
History Channel: " So Mark, you're finally starting to see it our way with flying saucers. Just add Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monsters and we'll make you president of the network"
The new USAF saucers use a hybrid electromagnetic fusion-type device that utilizes the swastika as an armature. All were searching for the keys to rumored ancient technologies, but the real meaning of the swastika as a part of a cheap, non-polluting energy device was missed until 40 years ago. The pyramids were lightning rods that supported ancient technology.

I've often joked with my German wife about the Uhse sex shops, but neither of us could have guessed that she was in the Luftwaffe at the same time as my father in law, a Ju52 pilot.
Dr. Felton, thank you for your research and in articulating so well this subject. I have forwarded your video to all of my friends that built that Nazi saucer model.
Mark, thanks for posting these extremely informative videos on WWII. My Dad was in WWII and I've grown up hearing some of what happened. Your videos are like college courses.
Flying disks were seen in Antarctica by Admiral bird!
I remember my friend`s father who was a rear gunner in a Lancaster in WWII telling me of a daylight raid he was on over east Germany and his crew noticed a couple of objects/craft flying near by along side. He rotated his gun turret round to have a better view and there were two silver disc like craft. The craft were there for about 15 mins or so then changed direction and flew off at incredible speeds. They never knew what the craft were. Some people at the time wondered if they were Russian or eve Chinese such were the rumours. On a briefing before one mission he remembered being told to look out for unusual craft that had been spotted over mostly eastern Germany. The person giving the briefing then drew what the craft looked like, an oval/circular shape with lights round it. He said they all burst out laughing as the air crews though they were joking, they were not! So makes you wonder what was going off. These craft never attacked allied aircraft from what I was told. Could they be terrestrial based or indeed of extra-terrestrial origin?
Hmmmm... the story doesn’t convince me tbh
@Andrea Beeson,The Navy recently released footage of flying objects from modern Naval radar ships and jet fighter pilot's. The modern radar technology picks up these objects. The tremendous speed they exhibit without turning aside and going even under water. This reminds me that these could be heavenly living creatures mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible chapter 1-2. Might check it out! Seems to correlate which we see today.
@strike4able What site do You mean?
It wasn't just the Allies, it was Germans and Japanese, Russians they all saw these crafts they're called (Foo Fighters) when all the world was flying in mass numbers during World War II but that's just my opinion but that is where the term Foo Fighter comes from.
@@davidmcginnis2075 Thank you, yes that is right they called them Foo Fighters. My friend's dad thought they called them Foo Fighters as some people thought they were Chinese origin or resembled Chinese hats. My friend's dad told me that no one mentioned anything about alien extra terrestrial craft at the time, he never knew what they actually were but just told me about what he saw and also that air crews were told about them in mission briefings. I don't know if we'll ever know the truth.
I just found your channel. Good work!
Avro has 1 big fan, the germans design had 6, modern hobby drones usually have at least four. Helicopters have a little one on the back for stabilization. Avro might not have ever been meant to succeed, but instead to make flying discs look like an impractical design.
we also have flying saucers with rockets!
Dear Kim, we know U do !!!!

Operation Paperclip
Really enjoy these videos. The most fascinating thing to me is how the scientists/engineers are working flat out, sometimes for years, putting their heart and soul into a project, and then it can one day just be cancelled at the swipe of a pen from above. Maybe by someone who has no idea what it is but is just looking after a budget! A tough pill to swallow.
Imagine this! Someone finally does a video about what was supposed to be an ultra-secret project. I first heard of this during an interview with British actor Christopher Lee, during the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" movie. Before they discussed the movie, Mr. Lee was asked about his life, a short bio if you like. He said that during the war, he was an interrogator for the British army intelligence, and had interrogated some German scientist that had been working on a top secret project. The interviewer wrongly concluded that he meant the Peenemunde scientist. "No, not those, these were working on something else. It went far beyond that I can say. After several days they were handed off to the Americans and I never saw them after that" Mr. Lee said. When pressed what it was he stated that he was bound by a lifetime oath never to discuss anything in detail of what he saw or heard during his military service, and that was that. Of course this is just my opinion, but I believe the Nazis had worked out the beginnings of anti-gravity flight, but it was too late in the war for them to go any further with it. Strange how just a few years later {around 1947 or so} all of these UFO sightings began in the US. I don't think it is a coincidence.
The US may have gotten the technology in the TR-3B Astra from the Germans. Overall, IMO, alot of alien technology is not "reverse-engineerable." Btw, it's too bad that Mr. Lee took that secret to the grave.
I think a lot of bitterness was left over from the war, and in particular, the U.K. back then was notoriously hard on Nazi scientists. They drove Werner von Braun (who built the v2 and the Saturn V) to craters where his rockets landed, and basically threatned him with the death penalty... then the USA spirited him away to the USA.. Nebraska to be exact. They went on to use him to land on the moon, and I think the U.K. was mad about that too. Queen Elizabeth is German, and its this whole complicated mess that dates back beyond WW1... Anyways I think a lot of the Nazis that made it to the USA were treated pretty fairly and had good lives, Russia also, they just pretty much kept on doing what they were doing... building planes, that is. Aliens come from other countries, Extraterrestrials come from other places.
papawx3 : RIGHT ! see Dr. Robert Sepehr.
100% correct. The U.S. reproduced German "foo-fighters" in places like Nevada with the help of German scientists from Operation Paperclip. The foo-fighters were small metallic spheres which generated enormous amounts of voltage creating an electro-gravitic field for levitation and propulsion. In other words, real anti-gravity.
@@eastindiaV Queen Elizabeth is *not* German FFS! And most of what you state is far from accurate.... . Elizabeth II was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Born: 21 April 1926, Mayfair, London, England. That makes Queen Elizabeth II entirely British/English. . Her lineage stems from the House of Hannover and Saxe Coburg & Gotha - dated from George the first (a descendant of The House of Stuart) via Edward Duke of Kent and Victoria (Saxe-Coburg) [1767-1820] and Queen VIctoria [1819-1901]. In 1917 son of Eward VII - George V deedpolled the Saxa-Coburg surname to Windsor. . Most caucasian British nationals can trace their lineage to somewhere in Europe. It is WHERE one is born that designates one's nationality, not their blood line. Also, the ENGLISH is derived from the West Germanic language originally spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the area of Great Britain that later took their name, England. Both names derive from Anglia, a peninsula on the Baltic Sea. And if one goes back far enough - pre Roman, the 'indigenous' peoples of Great Britain - the Celts - originated from East Europe/Germany/Austria. . It is this nonsense of 'nationality' that askews the truth about peoples; a clear reason why the notion of nationalism is so pathetic. As is the notion of 'extraterrestrials'.
My grandpa had a yellow Skoda from the 70s which I barely remember and he bought a new 1 in 82 I think. The last car is in my grans garage still. It’s been in there since my grandpa died in 94. But he told me about skoda and this…. I’ve watched and read a lot about the wars especially a I live in Gosport ( the forgotten place next to Portsmouth ) where there’s still loads of war stuff to this day. And damage. But you have just made a video of something that sorta confirms what he said way back then I was a kid. He also liked American cars because he left school at 13 and as the were so many cars that were left after the war he got a job repainting them
The Foo Fighters were unique in WW2. The Allies thought them to be secret German technology and the Germans thought them to be Allied secret technology.
Turns out they were just a rock band from the late 1990's.

Mark Felton Productions at 3am:

Mussolini was very interested in UFOs or UAPs. He set up a specific agency to deal with them, after he himself witnessed one. There was also an alleged crash of a UFO which impacted in the Alps area near Tyrol. The Italian Military located the crash and the unidentified vehicle was rescued and kept under wraps. There was also a German UFO crash in the Brandenburg Forest. I have read about this incident, although little is known other than the unusual incident had occurred and been recorded. Hitler showed considerable interest in this.
The diorama shown at 0:09 is kitbashed from a Polar Lights model of the alien spacecraft from the TV series "The Invaders."
Precursors to some of the modern drone designs, the 50’s were a time of radical innovation in the field of new aeronautical designs, pre computers, that’s why there were so many weird things thought up. Today you put the same info into a computer and the US, China and Russia all turn out similar aircraft...
The computer was what made the difference... both in design and flight control. The early flying wings were very easy to put into uncontrollable states.
China does not design anything. They hack into Lockheed Martin and steal American designs. That's when they are not flying spy planes over taiwan or adding gain of function to covid 19.
Hillary and her unguarded Computer.
More like china copies Russia and America, lol
Look at the cars. American manufacturing designs car for two years from now. Asian company puts design extremely similar out just head of the American.
I'm really enjoying the exploring/debunking of ww2 conspiracy theories and myths, especially from an actual historian. Keep up the great work!!
Could the finished product be what Admiral Byrd encountered when he led Operation High jump to Antarctica??
one answer would be roswell , after that crash things really took off fiber optics, stealth aircraft, computer chips and alot of others

Is it possible that the Avro Car was made to fail publicly so as to deflect interest away from the theory that the Americans actually had the technology to build a successful flying saucer whether from captured German technology or from Roswell just a thought
Another excellent mini-doc from mark. What’s to say the Avro car was a failure though?….was there a dud one that we saw in this video and the other a full flying machine….the plot continues ;)
I am surprised the "Haunebu" wasn't mentioned or referenced at all.
Well then Mark would have to admit that at least some of this is actually real, even though all of it is. People like me have been way ahead of these mainstream history channels on KZhead which always end up reinforcing the traditional narrative.
@@commanderneyo7903 "People like me have always been ahead of these mainstream history channels" - you do realise just how much of an insufferable toff you sound? I can practically smell your delusions of grandeur through the screen. You just want to delude yourself into thinking that you are superior to those with more expertise than yourself, despite only learning of these things through listening to or reading the works of others, usually with more dubious sources. Of course the mainstream historical narrative is wrong on many issues, but the problem with people like yourself is that you are only interested in investigating further in order to reinforce your self-image as being blessed with hidden knowledge, not just for the sake of finding the truth.
there's no historical evidence that the Haunebu was even a project, unlike the ones that were mentioned, so there's nothing to mention other than a few 1:144 models that are admittedly pretty cool.
@@commander31able60 No historical evidence? You do realize that there are like at least a hundred photos taken during WWII of these crafts in operation in Germany right? They've been assessed by the best experts in the fields of photography and undergone intense forensic analysis and all of them have been proven to be genuine and not doctored. I think you need to realize we are not alone, we have never been alone, and we didn't win WWII, we just tell ourselves that.

It’s possible the Avro-Car didn’t work because it used a heavy jet engine, whereas the Nazi prototype did because it used multiple conventional propellers. We still haven’t been able to make reliable and efficient jet-powered VTOL aircraft, yet helicopters and small drones that use vertical propellers are common.
Exactly
