Disk-shaped aircrafts are often called "flying saucers", but don't be confused because this UFO craft comes from Earth. Precisely, it was made by AVRO, Canada in the 1950s and 1960s, sponsored by the US Air Force and the US Army.
The Toronto Star on February 11 1953 reported that at the Avro-Canada plant in Malton, Ontario a new flying saucer was being built.
The Minister for Defense Production informed on 16 February the Ottawa House of Commons that Avro-Canada was developing a 'mock-up model' of a flying saucer, capable of climbing vertically and flying at 1500 mph (2400 km/h).
In AVRO NEWS the President of Avro-Canada reported that the prototype being developed was "...so revolutionary that it would make all other forms of supersonic aircraft obsolete".
Whole production process was carried out in total secrecy. Only few of worker in Avro were told what they were producing. Avro's workshop superintendant at the time Alex Raeburn recalls that it was so secret, that Frost would sketch the piece he wanted on some paper when he would come to the welding shop, and they had to put the sketch in special garbage bag when they had finished.
Even the footage from later exist, by 1960 it was being officially claimed that the project had been dropped. In the U.S. Air Force Museum in Fort Eustis, Virginia was for some time exposed 'prototype' of the Avro flying saucer, but was closed recently. There is insufficient data on disk-shaped aircrafts and further projects, but it is certain they existed and is still being worked on them. Latest flying disk project well known to public and in some way extension of the Avrocar is the Project Silverbug.

It really amazed me that they made an UFO that could fly 2400 km/h O.o Maybe testruns of these guys can explain some of the sightings?
