$3,168,000 here, $3,168,000 there, pretty soon it adds up to real money.

UFO. UNIDENTIFIED flying object.

You would think that if they had plans to build something, it would be IDENTIFIED.

That is just silly, a UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object, if we know who built it - it is not unidentified.

I built a UFO once. It even glowed in the dark.

Never attempted to build a flying car though...

The Air Force would actually have been building a “FO” not an “UFO”

Since the “Air Force” would have been building it...it would not be “Unidentified”...Am I right?

I don't know who licensed the molds but apparently this was THE kit and available for decades (including when I was growing up). Don't recall what the box looked like, probably something more like this (without the "limited edition" disclaimer).

If you know what it it is, it is not a UFO. Unidentified Flying Object. You could call it a IFO.

It's not really news. I remember reading about the AVRO disk in a book called: Flying Saucers, Serious Business by Frank Edwards in 1968 or 1969. The stability problems with the Air Force prototypes were cited by UFO aficionados as proof that flying saucers really had to have some special sauce from an "advanced technology."

I think it would be called an IFO, or Round Airplane~Craft or something. But not UFO.

A lot of the stealth fighter tests were reported as UFO’s.

My brother retired from the Air Force and he was at some of those sites out in the deserts of Nevada and Utah.

He said they’d stage fun (after beers) by taking trucks with junk on them and covering them with tarps and then drive them into the gates and “drop” the tarp and scramble to put the parts (many covered in foil) back onto the truck and into a hangar.

They’d have a good laugh knowing the Art Bell folks were watching.

Radical design. I wonder how they came up with it.

Yawn. There’s a USAF flying saucer prototype on display at the USAF Museum in Dayton OH. Its in the research plane hangar on the Wright Field reservation. To see it you need to get to the museum early and register for one of the hourly bus trips over there. The saucer is neat, but seems pretty small and unimpresive. Maybe because it’s sitting next to the XB-70.

Also neat are the Flying Jeeps/hovercars on display at Ft Eustis VA.
