It’s not even “new” technology. Check:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article2284349.ece
Then take a look at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel
Then google on “Victalen” which will take you back to Wikipedia where it is written that “Flight endurance was 18 hours. To resist the incredible temperatures of these velocities a special armor called Victalen was pioneered by SS metallurgists specifically for both the Haunebu and Vril series of disc craft.” Victalen was invented in the 1930’s. What was old is new again. It’s pretty obvious that the so called UFO’s are experimental military aircraft based upon work expropriated from the Germans after WWII. It’s probable that the U.S., the Brits and the Russians got bits and pieces of this technology and have been using it ever since. It’s also most likely that the Roswell incident was a crash of one of these early prototypes.
Sorry about the late reply, I’ve been busy on poltical threads.

Now, onto your post.
I went here to Wikipedia, and there is a reference to Victalen but clicking on it generates a weird result:
Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact title.

Basically, in general I agree with the fact that flying saucer technology is based upon such experiments as performed by the Nazis in WWII. But I want people to read Vesco’s book because he’s the only guy that goes into the technology, which is pretty straightforward aerodynamics: Suction for boundary layer control, which is what I wanted to study in college but chose a different path. I had been accepted to the aeronautical engineering program at Cal Poly SLO but decided against it because all the aero majors I knew at the time could not get jobs in the field, and as far as I could tell, they never did.
I expect there to be a rather large disinformation campaign surrounding this theory, based upon my past experience as well as what I’ve read. So I didn’t bother to read through the Wikipedia article. Your Victalen is actually probably part of the smokescreen, but I do not have enough evidence to generate a compelling inductive case to that effect so I’ll just float it for now.
