    Supersonic USAF flying saucers, circa 1956

    On paper, at least.

    There isn't yet confirmation that anything actually built got more than 3 ft off the ground or moved faster than 35 MPH.
    APF doesn't come in screaming at others about how stupid they are. APF doesn't spam NST with the same tired topic 30 times a month. APF doesn't link to some kook in his mom's basement telling you how to, "Be afraid. Be very afraid" of the world falling down around you. And, when APF is proven wrong, he acknowledges he made a mistake and moves on, rather than harping about "sheeple."

    Doesn't surprise me. I've got an uncle that retired from working at skunk works, and he's said that we've got stuff for a "big war" that the population (and most of the govt/military) don't even know we have.

    He said programs like the F117, stealth bomber and raptor was stuff he was working on back when he started working for them. He said some of the things we're working on now are mind blowing.
