Current Event #3 The Flying Saucer

In an article titled "Government report on secret flying saucer program made available" Fox News informs readers of a document released about the Air Force building a flying saucer.

Fox News stated that the Air Force released "a document describing a secret program by the Air Force to build a flying saucer." The Air Force has the plan for a flying saucer, a craft that only aliens were thought to use. The flying saucer contract was with a Canadian company, Avro Aircraft Limited.

The Air Force claims the saucer "was designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4 and reach a ceiling of more than 100,000 feet." The craft is capable of climbing to 100,000 feet vertically and can land vertically as well. The flying saucer can achieve mach 4 with "six Armstrong Siddeley Viper Turbo jet" engines.

The Air Force stated a plan to "develop weapons suitable for the saucer." The saucer could be used for reconnaissance, intercepting, or light bombing. It's small and unusual shape can give it an advantage on the battlefield.

I would certainly like to learn more about the flying saucer.

The flying saucer is a unique craft that can be useful for the Air Force.
