Not anything that unusual in flight, but I have seen a genuine flying saucer. It was like one of the Avro Canada prototype ones from back in the 50's or 60's, a round disc perhaps 25 feet across, maybe 6 feet high and with a ducted fan pusher out the bottom.
For a number of years it sat behind the Anzio Landing restaurant at Falcon Field at Mesa, Az. I know it was there in the late 90's. It was supposed to be for sale. Man, I was tempted. How many people have a real flying saucer? I've got a friend that has an actual WWII German V1 buzz bomb, and they have even run the engine, but not flown. But the story was that the saucer has only been flown once and might be really hard to control or master. And I know that if I bought it I would probably be tempted to fly it, or try to. And I was up to my budget limit in airplanes and didn't have anywhere to store it. So that enemy of adventure, good comnon sense prevailed and I walked away, but never forgot it.
It was at the restaurant last Jan and the saucer was gone, only a photo on the wall.
Does anyone know where it might be now, or who owns it, or anymore about it's history?
