CHAPTER THREE
An Overview of the German Conventional Saucer Projects
In this section we will progress from saucer projects with are
absolutely factual and of which detail is known and proceed to
projects which are less known.
Several types of flying craft we would call flying saucers were
built by the Germans during the Second World War. The exact
number is still open for debate but it certainly must vary from
between three to seven or possibly eight different types. These
different types do not mean experimental models or variants of
which there were many. What is meant here is that there were
very different lines of flying machines being built in wartime
Germany at different places by different groups of people. Since
more than one saucer-type may have been produced by a single
group, we will review this data group by group. We will progress
from saucer projects which are factually better known and which
deal in conventional propulsion methods and then move to lesser
known projects which deal in more exotic propulsion methods which
are less well documented and so more controversial.
