A Laser Phalanx?

Mr.Black you are just ****ed off that you are proven wrong probably by
your own government which, btw, kept and still keeps classified German
technology documents ranging from synthetic fuel, to aviation secrets,
to beam weaponry, and spaceflight, plus the entire hidden history of
the war locked away.

No they don't.

Very few WWII documents are still secret in the UK and these relate almost
entirly to matters involving treason or disloyalty by people still alive.

If the Nazis had a death ray mounted on a flying saucer, even one, we'd all
be speaking German and wearing silly uniforms by now.

You can also now locate Foo Fighters, which the USAF claimed they had
no idea what they were, under PHOO BOMBS through FOIA and dated from
1944.

The major problem with this one is that the Germans were also designing what
seem to be massivly inferior missile based air to air weapons and deploying
them very late in the war.

If you've got a war winning design then why bother to develop something
inferior?

The history of the R4M indicates that there was nothing better available.

Reading the report "An Evalualtion of German Capabilities in 1945" from the
'Office of the Director of Intelligence' of the US Strategic Airforces in
Europe, which was written some time in early 1945, makes it pretty clear
that what were called Phoo Bombs by bomber crews were in fact Messerschnitt
Me163 Komet aircraft

Also have the inmtelligence to call a German disc a Flugscheibe or
Flugkreisel and NOT a flying saucer- a term coined in 1947 by a
reporter.

The problem is, once more, that both the Germans and the USA were building
'flying wings'.

The Ho-IX was a jet powered fighter bomber aircraft (made of wood) but was
preceded by the Northrop N-1M by some four years.

The 'flying wing' idea isn't new either.

See

for loads of details.

These damn things aren't a Nazi invention, were never particularly secret
and aren't that radical in performance. Look up the 'Edwards' who the
'Edwards Airforce Base' is named after and what he was flying when he
died...

What you're seeing is initial evaluations by an intelligence service that is
trying to guess what's going on 'on the other side of the hill' from reports
brought back be people in a highly emotional state who weren't intelligence
officers, and, reasonably understandably, slightly misinterpreting the
results.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
