5.0 out of 5 stars Essential if you wanna know what is really flying out there., February 18, 2002

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book on "Man-Made" UFOs, June 9, 2000

By 

Winston Whitaker (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Man-Made UFOs, 1944-1994: Fifty Years of Suppression (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Interesting Look at UFOs and Their Possible Origin, July 26, 2005

This review is from: Man-Made UFOs, 1944-1994: Fifty Years of Suppression (Paperback)

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.
