I agree, why would Hitler fly to Antarctica in a disc when he could simply teleport there using Die Glocke? [Edit] There are some real conspiracy nutjobs in the comments. It's a joke for God's sake!
I personally think the projects did exist in Germany at the time, but the results were grossly exaggerated by the the people involved in an effort to gain more funding/support. Then after the war, it also served the survivors to exaggerate their results in the hopes of getting employment/protection from the US.
wrong, but whatever. More like some other folks exaggerate (and literally fabricates things) to follow through on the Balfour dec agenda, but whatever. Then after the war, it all went dark.

That just what i have heard and read from historians.
There is much history on the History Channel these days, as there is nutrition in your typical breakfast cereal. At least it’s not All Hitler All the Time like it was in the 90s/early 2000s.
my grandmother told me about seeing 2 nazi disk shaped aircraft in WW2, she said this was near the wars end and mentioned to me about them as we discussed the topic of ufo's in the 1960's. She said that they were a extremely secret project and she what able to see them fly by just being in the right place at the right time accidentally. Although she was threatened by the military, but as a German woman playing ignorant of things, after being threatened and told this is not to be spoken about or else, she was released, and good to her word, for 25 years she never mentioned them, except to me shortly before her earthly existence ended. They are real, and the Avro flying disk was to use the ground effect to be able to get to speed for take off and flight over damaged runways and not take off vertically as often stated.
Maybe now after 80 years they have improved the take off part, as we can see via a lot of videos they can fly vertically or horizontally at will. I saw myself a UFO on the cloud back in 2019 and now I became a UFO enthusiast.
I’m a sucker for conspiracy theories, alternative timelines, and all the “what if” of history…. As long as they are confronted in a serious way and devoid of cheap sensationalism… precisely how Dr. Felton does things, as usual great episode.
NAzi germany was able to fly flying disc, but when they knew the war was lost they dismantled them for scraps . . never to mass produce them. but fragments of plans and part where found and got shipped out
The way I heard it the device that flew and later attacked Admiral Bird when he went to Antarctica was the Nazi Bell and was shaped like a bell and had a large spinning disc made of quartz and electrical components imbedded in the disc. It created anti gravitational properties. A few prototypes were made but it was developed too late for mass production. I heard that this group of scientist were also gather along with Von Braun in operation Paper Clip.
Conspiracy theories like the Gunpowder Plot, the Linclon assassination, Standard Oil, the Chicago 7, Iran-Contra, etc., etc. Let's get real, instead of believeing organized crime like the CIA, conspiracies do happen, they're not usually just theories.
“The kind of nonsense usually reserved for certain kinds of popular TV documentaries, much in vogue at the present” - oh man I’m dead, Dr Felton you’re killing me 😂😭😂💀💀
Dr. Felton has the most impeccable timing with his videos, not that any of you care but I had a long , Rough week. So when I find one of the Dr,'s videos I can't help but get lost within the content. Thank you for all you do , Doc. It means a lot to someone like me, Doing the work you do.
3:30 even when the flying saucer is man made and the photographer was involved in building it, you still get only grainy photos. Something about flying discs makes them impervious to photography.
Mark, thanks for posting these extremely informative videos on WWII. My Dad was in WWII and I've grown up hearing some of what happened. Your videos are like college courses.

icunowlibra You mean the version Italy was concurrently developing in Napoli until test pilot Mario got distracted by a bella donna and drove it right into Vesuvius? Mamma mia!
I think the Avrocar was a distraction made to be shown to the public as a flop. That's why in the 60's when someone reported a sighting, the Air force would come out, question you, then tell you that you saw Swamp Gas. I remember it. A lot of those are our machines.
@@yesyesyesyes1600 Well, maybe about 60 years ahead. Actually I’m baffled as to the purpose of this device - a constantly running fan without enough power to lift itself out of ground effect level? That sounds as if it would be heavy on fuel consumption. The Brits managed to make actual hovercraft that could do real work only a few years later, but they seem to have pretty much vanished from regular use, in these emissions-conscious days. Even if it could have soared up into the sky, the suggestion that flying it in post-WW3 times, after all the runways have been nuked, isn’t exactly compelling. Don’t we have helicopters to do that stuff and that actually work? And where do you put the guns, or the bombs? From the vantage point of the 21st century the whole project looks like a complete waste of time and resources. Just as well it kept the Nazis busy, if only briefly.
I had heard an interesting theory about the UFO conspiracy. The theory goes that it was actually started by the CIA itself. The reason was that they were aware of German flying saucer research (even if the claims were exaggerated they thought it was at least possible) and they were afraid that the Soviets had captured enough research to make their own version. Their biggest fear was a sort of Sputnik scenario (before sputnik) where the Soviets seemed to have vastly superior tech and disenfranchise the public. So they used their WWII connections to Hollywood to put out the thought that if any American saw a flying saucer in the sky their initial thought was in aliens rather than a soviet spy plane. After all, the CIA couldn't care less if people thought aliens were real but they cared a whole lot if Americans thought Communism was superior to Capitalism. Then this conspiracy took on a life of its own. Years later the CIA would reshape the theory to disguise their secret stealth research so now alien craft where thought of by enthusiasts to be triangles or some other shape and not saucers, so if the public saw a weird triangle shaped craft they wouldn't start talking about covert American research but think it was an alien craft. I don't know if this theory is true but its at least interesting.
Flying saucers are a human invention and we all know what they are there not a " UFO"" Canada even built one but it did not fly very well , plus the Germans did build some not sure how many or are they still on the drawing board even Tesla made one on paper , and they where built to be used as a floating platform for guns then they could hover and shoot and kill people , they where never where built for space travel , no Aliens used them for space travel , why like i say its a human invention , Holy Wood are the ones to create Aliens into the picture of Flying saucers, plus if real Aliens come here they will come in something way bigger then a tiny Flying saucer , there is no conspiracy its just this how well we are educated about flying saucers and who invented them . Tesla saucer is the most advanced saucer drawn on paper the rest of them used jet engines for lift same as the one that Canada built just one and can be seen on film as scientist and pilots test them , one even crashed in the desert most known test that failed and was a big cover up on what really crashed in the desert , the story is that it got in range of a radio disk the radio field messed with the saucers drive system and it failed to produce lift the craft crashed in the desert, the radio disk was to powerful for use , the two who worked the radio disk got cancer and died the radio disk was removed and replaced with one that had a lower out put and produced less EMF . EMF can give some one cancer if a person is exposed for too long well there you go . bye for know have a nice day and look out for Aliens just kidding .
That's along the same lines as my personal theory. I suspect that there's a break away group who have harnessed our own research in these fields and used it for personal profit and use. We've made enormous strides in terms of technology but friends who have worked in the US navy as decoders assure me that what the public knows about is at least 25 years behind what is actually available. Can you imagine what we may achieve in the next 25 years if we continue at the current pace. Or should I say the pace of the late 2000's as we have definitely slowed down.
The theory is circular. But-for the fact the CIA concealed the German UFO research, they wouldn't need to worry about UFOs being attributed to communism. I.e. if UFOs were actually a product of Hitlers Germany, the CIA need only reveal that _"truth"_ to disprove the "communism is better because it produced UFOs" argument. But the CIA doesn't deal in truth, and that is not the truth. The truth is the powers that be care _very much_ what the public thinks about the existence of aliens, because the germans got the tech from aliens as did the others. And they want to use that tech to hoax an ET threat to humanity.
Mr. Felton claims: "Hitler never flew to a secret base in Antarctica!" So carefully worded. We can see now that Mr. Felton is indeed part of the cover up! LOL

He was definitely German passing.
One thing is for sure , in 1952 something flew over and through restricted airspace in Washington DC being picked by both civilian and military radar causing pursuit fighters to be dispatched after them.
Really enjoy these videos. The most fascinating thing to me is how the scientists/engineers are working flat out, sometimes for years, putting their heart and soul into a project, and then it can one day just be cancelled at the swipe of a pen from above. Maybe by someone who has no idea what it is but is just looking after a budget! A tough pill to swallow.
They had have since the pyramids were partially eroded during the great flood, which as all learned from Georgio, killed the dinosaurs off to allow the aliens to repopulate Earth with hybrid humans. God, I think my brain has Covid
Mark Felton goes into UFOs... Perfect! The point of the UAP/UFO report was to get everyone talking about this phenomenon sans ridicule... Nothing more. I know you did the video prior to the report's release but it shows that everyone is now willing to discuss this. I'm 56 and part of the generation that ridicule's UFOs. But my kids' generation does not and openly discusses this because of videos like these. Love your work, Mark.
Speak for yourself on UFOs. I'm 70 & have believed in them since I was around 5 when I asked my Mom if there were " others" " out there" while looking at a night sky. I have never ridiculed anyone.
Disks and other shaped aerial craft have been described from the very earliest times.. I being a former Soldier has seen 2 UFOs 1 was triangle shaped hovering near a now defunct nuclear power station at approx 12:20pm others seen it back at around 17:00hrs. Not long after this I saw a cylinder passing right over where I live and carry on over to the NE over my town into Scotland. Do not laugh at thinks that you have not witnessed. The Germans had flying disks. There were photos of not film of these off the ground.. Just like the atom bomb that the Nazis did test detonate on another island near the missile experimental range. According to witness's this did occur and including a ME262 Test Pilot who shouldn't have been flying over that area at that time and witnessed the flash Mushroom cloud .
Im gonna be honest. I was quite worried what kind of content i was getting myself into when i read the title, but as always you deliver on incredible research and interesting stories. Thanks!
Modern drones seem to operate on the idea of multiple fan blades to hover and for directional control. It's not too difficult to see one looking like a saucer if someone just put a shell around the frame of the drone.
Drones are more like helicopters in their operation. The flying saucers were meant to be VTOL aircraft capable of combat. The problem is that a disk is probably the worst wing design you can try to fly with: airflow spills off in all directions. Even with modern computers many of the stealth designs become aerodynamically unstable if the fly-by-wire fails. Basically no one developed the flying saucer because helicopters and aircraft like the Harrier did the job far better.
@@commander31able60 I did not mean to imply anything about the power to weight ratio, which as you say wouldn't favour a drone encased in a saucer lifting body.
Iron Sky was brilliant in that it depicted the very likely outcome of failure for the Nazi invasion force. It only makes sense that in isolation on the Moon, their technology, cutting edge in 1945, would have stagnated and severely lagged behind that of Earth by the new millennium.
5 minutes. Thats all I could handle of "Iron Sky". I got through 45 minutes of Las Vegas in Space which is considered one of the worst movies in history but it had nothing on "Iron Sky"
Another German "Flying Saucer" type design was the Focke-Wolfe "Rochen". An interesting note many do not realize is that the first widely reported "flying saucer" report by Kenneth Arnold over Mount Rainier in Washington was not of a Saucer, but of nine Crescent-Shaped craft. Interestingly, if one compares the drawing Arnold made of what he saw to one of the Flying Wing designs of the Horton Brothers, one would see a striking similarity. The Hortons' Flying wings did fly, and the US even completed Flying Wing bomber prototypes that flew, being the YB-35 and YB-49. While officially, the only surviving Horton craft sits in the Smithsonian, I have to wonder how else Kenneth Arnold would have been able to draw something so close to what at the time would be a highly classified aircraft design that few would be privy to unless he possibly actually saw one?
It was a well researched documentary... Dr Felton is just a pawn hired to discredit the History Channel's work as a mainstay of veracity and historical accuracy.
It appeared to rise into ground effect, and had some directional control. If it ever lifted out of ground effect, it might have had serious control issues, and might need aero surfaces, like the flying flapjack, that was successful in a test program.
Have you done a video on the "foo fighters" phenomenon reported by bomber pilots over Germany? If not, could you do one? It would be interesting to know what the records say!
High energy active radar as used by the Germans, in certain weather conditions can create atmospheric plasma, so as the radar tracked aircraft it could appear to pilots as if a ball of something was flying along with them.
The engineers and scientists probably got Goodrun Himmler to draw on paper while her father was visiting, and then included them in the files, thinking "When we eventually lose the war, this will give the Allies something to think about for years!"
@@bigwoody4704 well l understand clearly what Biden wants, quite different to Trump what was really weird and stupid. Only doing politics for his friend and not for his Nation.
Precursors to some of the modern drone designs, the 50’s were a time of radical innovation in the field of new aeronautical designs, pre computers, that’s why there were so many weird things thought up. Today you put the same info into a computer and the US, China and Russia all turn out similar aircraft...
The computer was what made the difference... both in design and flight control. The early flying wings were very easy to put into uncontrollable states.
China does not design anything. They hack into Lockheed Martin and steal American designs. That's when they are not flying spy planes over taiwan or adding gain of function to covid 19.
Look at the cars. American manufacturing designs car for two years from now. Asian company puts design extremely similar out just head of the American.
There is alot to look at when examining these subjects. The vehicles examined here are very conventional in their power plants, propulsive forces and methods of producing lift. The only thing pictured that represents what most people think of when they hear "German flying saucers" was the plastic model diorama photo. The Haunebu series craft, if they indeed existed, supposedly did not use conventional power generation, or propulsive force generating systems. These likely used an electro-gravitic method of motion. If you want to know more about electro-gravitics, look up a chap named Thomas Townsend Brown. He began his research into gravity manipulation back in the 1920's. A very fascinating individual. This is a seriously fascinating subject, and deserves attention, as it was and still is an important part of our journey to master aviation, and physics. So much of the history of this aspect of aeronautics has been done under the cover of secrecy, that it can be difficult to separate the disinformation from the true information. Do your research. Make up your own mind. Enjoy the jouney! : )

Thank you for this history. The flying disc supposedly designed by Epp as well as later multirotor disc aircraft look similar to current small hovering drones, made mostly of plastic. They all look cool but are basically disguised helicopters and dependent on atmosphere, and fly best at lower altitudes. Disc shaped aircraft, like the flying pancake and the very crude German Sack plane with wooden propeller are basically flying wings, the disc having an airfoil cross section. Caudron in France also designed a postwar flying saucer with jet engine and rotors protruding from the edge of the saucer. A mockup was made but I don't think a prototype was ever flown. There are other saucers with protruding blades such as the so-called Focke-wulf FW-500 saucer with tail rotor, but it is purely fictitious.
"Of that we can be sure". But can we? ( X-files theme music plays) He he.. Thanks Mark. Another interesting, informative and entertaining video. Just keep them coming!
I remember my friend`s father who was a rear gunner in a Lancaster in WWII telling me of a daylight raid he was on over east Germany and his crew noticed a couple of objects/craft flying near by along side. He rotated his gun turret round to have a better view and there were two silver disc like craft. The craft were there for about 15 mins or so then changed direction and flew off at incredible speeds. They never knew what the craft were. Some people at the time wondered if they were Russian or eve Chinese such were the rumours. On a briefing before one mission he remembered being told to look out for unusual craft that had been spotted over mostly eastern Germany. The person giving the briefing then drew what the craft looked like, an oval/circular shape with lights round it. He said they all burst out laughing as the air crews though they were joking, they were not! So makes you wonder what was going off. These craft never attacked allied aircraft from what I was told. Could they be terrestrial based or indeed of extra-terrestrial origin?
@Andrea Beeson,The Navy recently released footage of flying objects from modern Naval radar ships and jet fighter pilot's. The modern radar technology picks up these objects. The tremendous speed they exhibit without turning aside and going even under water. This reminds me that these could be heavenly living creatures mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible chapter 1-2. Might check it out! Seems to correlate which we see today.
It wasn't just the Allies, it was Germans and Japanese, Russians they all saw these crafts they're called (Foo Fighters) when all the world was flying in mass numbers during World War II but that's just my opinion but that is where the term Foo Fighter comes from.
@@davidmcginnis2075 Thank you, yes that is right they called them Foo Fighters. My friend's dad thought they called them Foo Fighters as some people thought they were Chinese origin or resembled Chinese hats. My friend's dad told me that no one mentioned anything about alien extra terrestrial craft at the time, he never knew what they actually were but just told me about what he saw and also that air crews were told about them in mission briefings. I don't know if we'll ever know the truth.
History Channel: " So Mark, you're finally starting to see it our way with flying saucers. Just add Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monsters and we'll make you president of the network"
The Foo Fighters were unique in WW2. The Allies thought them to be secret German technology and the Germans thought them to be Allied secret technology.
@@awatt "It was no Alien, the flash of light you saw in the sky was NOT a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus."
An interesting omission from this, otherwise, fine report was the work that was commissioned or more likely coerced from Victor Schaumberger. The Austrian hydraulics expert whose concepts and designs caught the attention of some of the German engineers who saw the potential in his radical approach to fluid dynamics and propulsion. Although, it was rumored that the peace-loving man tried to slow-walk his efforts to deprive the Germans of any advantages that could be realized from his work, a working prototype "vortex" motor was built and had the ability to provide lift to a sizeable craft. Saucer-shaped or otherwise. As far as the Canadian Avrocar, there is a high probability that this project was an intentional red-herring intended to divert attention from other projects that were being carried out by the Air Force. T. Thomas Townsend had been building flying disc models in his private laboratory in Zanesville, Ohio as early as the 1930's. His models employed a di-electric, high voltage system that seemingly could reduce the inertial mass of a vehicle thus permitting conventional propulsion systems the ability to lift off and land vertically. The B-2 stealth bomber reportedly uses a variation of this effect in its design.
Well then Mark would have to admit that at least some of this is actually real, even though all of it is. People like me have been way ahead of these mainstream history channels on TH-cam which always end up reinforcing the traditional narrative.
@@commanderneyo7903 "People like me have always been ahead of these mainstream history channels" - you do realise just how much of an insufferable toff you sound? I can practically smell your delusions of grandeur through the screen. You just want to delude yourself into thinking that you are superior to those with more expertise than yourself, despite only learning of these things through listening to or reading the works of others, usually with more dubious sources. Of course the mainstream historical narrative is wrong on many issues, but the problem with people like yourself is that you are only interested in investigating further in order to reinforce your self-image as being blessed with hidden knowledge, not just for the sake of finding the truth.
there's no historical evidence that the Haunebu was even a project, unlike the ones that were mentioned, so there's nothing to mention other than a few 1:144 models that are admittedly pretty cool.
@@commander31able60 No historical evidence? You do realize that there are like at least a hundred photos taken during WWII of these crafts in operation in Germany right? They've been assessed by the best experts in the fields of photography and undergone intense forensic analysis and all of them have been proven to be genuine and not doctored. I think you need to realize we are not alone, we have never been alone, and we didn't win WWII, we just tell ourselves that.
@@Jupiter__001_ 'Delusions of grandeur'. You really like using the power system's own vocabulary don't you?

I think it probable that German scientists were working on types of flying saucers towards the end of WWii, But not because they were into flying saucers, but just because they were working on different types of jet aircraft. All modern aircraft use axial flow gas turbine type jet engines, but if you try and build a Radial flow gas turbine powered aircraft you will end up with a somewhat disc shaped vehicle. Now John Frost was originally working on Radial flow gas turbine vehicles, But if any of them actually flew i am unaware. But the Avro avrocar actually was powered by three axial flow gas turbines, the problems with it was that all three engines would over heat, so maximum power could not be achieved and because of that the main lift rotor could not reach its designed RPM's. The U.S. military was tolled that these issues could be solved, but they cancelled the projects anyway.
Yes this is correct but the program cleverly omitted to mention any sensitive research the Germans were working on involving high voltage levitation and electro-gravitic propulsion which has obviously been censored. This Avro hovercraft was a clever disinformation tool and almost everyone fell for it. I know this from 25 years of research so I have the top secret documents and photos to prove that the Germans succeeded in mass producing these high voltage flying saucers. Most of these top secret projects were successfully relocated to South America and Antarctica before the end of the war. All my intelligence sources confirm this info.
The wartime work of what William Mills Tompkins in this area is an eye opener, especially who he worked for, where he worked, and who was his ultimate boss, makes interesting reading as are his published books. Some of his interviews are on TH-cam.
The Horton 229 does look like the flying crescent shape that was reported by what's his name . Sorry just had a major brain fart . But the speed that he estimated was too much . The Only Horton 229 is in decaying parts in an aircraft storage unit at the aircraft section of the Smithsonian . There's a really great video that I've seen " Hitler's Stealth Fighter " . They make a 1 to 1 scale model then hit it with Radar and Infrared to test it's silhouette .
When I was a little boy growing up in France in the early 70's my parents bought me that hard cover comic book ( sort of ) about WW2 weapons and I clearly remember 10 pages about a Nazi Flying saucer... The whole thing was perfectly depicted and according to them the flying saucer flew perfectly and even reached speeds up to 2200 km/h 😄😄😄 Of course, it completely fascinated the imagination of a 8-year old little boy 😄😄😄 but looking back I don't think it was true... But, regardless, and in spite of what Mark Felton says everybody knows the Nazis ended up building secret bases in Antarctica with crazier weapons and from there they went to the moon...I even watched a movie about it 😄😄😄
@@mitsos_306 If you've seen some of the prototypes for flying vehicles based on scaled up drone tech, I think it shows that thanks to computer controlled rotor speeds that the idea the Germans were playing with has finally come of age. I don't think we'll see the saucer shape though simply because it's unnecessary. Or perhaps if we do see it, it'll be because someone thinks it'll look cool when in flight (which it would), not because it needs to be that shape to work.
This is, by far, the best “amateur” channel on TH-cam. I have never been disappointed with Mark’s videos. Keep up the great work. And there’s nothing amateur about this channel.
There was something to Foo Fighters. Likely an atmospheric phenomenon that has yet to be accurately explained. Maybe the sheer concentrations of metal in the air from bomber formations provoked electrical displays similar to ball lightning.
The prop wash could have generated enough static electricity to produce such crazy phenomenon. I have a friend who was a gunner on B 17s. I will ask him about them.
Mucholapka flytrap in Poland is somehow connected to the flying disc programme in my opinion. Just because something cannot be explained doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist . Along with the Bell and other anti - gravity projects these are fascinating subjects and raise many questions. Another very interesting video Mr Felton nice work.
“Taken with a pinch of salt” is interesting and makes more sense to me than the more common American venacular of “taken with a grain of salt.” I’m incorporating it!
His view of UFO's is the same as anything else someone from the classical establishment. Any suggestion of Foofighters being a thing of fact is utter nonsense no matter what anyone or thing says to gits like him.
It’s not about the legitimacy. I’m interested in the historical record in regards to WW2 history. Of course I’d like to see more content rooted in actual fact but thought since the subject was relatively similar it’d be fun to get Dr. Felton’s view on the subject.
Oh let's just be honest about these "ancient astronauts" people. Megaliths in Europe? They were smart, hard working, and ahead of their time. Megaliths where brown people live? Obviously aliens.
Hitler never flew in a flying disk to Antarctica, but he did fly to Spain and took a submarine to South America where he and Eva lived out the rest of their natural lives.
I very much appreciate Dr. Felton's ability to pronounce German names and other words, considering the low levels of competence generally found on TH-cam channels. Danke.
Was this due to a lack of proper pressurization or just a lack of the electrogravitic field not being strong enough to hold a constantly stable reaction in the craft?
@Pete Singletons Yes! Strangely enough, it was German scientists who said that there would be no rotation of the earth, because otherwise everyone would be pushed to the edge of the disk. Only to refute Einstein ...
What a great video Mark, really interesting and will we ever know? Probably about as much as finding Hitlers hidden gold train in the alps! Keep up the good work Mark.
In 1998, while I was returning home to Ohio (by car) from my Officer Basic Course in Arizona, I stopped to spend the night in Roswell, New Mexico. The next day, before continuing my epic road trip, I spent an hour at the "International UFO Museum and Research Center." "Cheesy" doesn't begin to describe the experience! One of the lame exhibits was a model kit diorama of the Nazis and their flying saucer in a glass case. It was very much like the one shown at the beginning of this video. (They also had a mock-up of the "alien autopsy". More interesting was this Air Force parachuting dummy that some thought might have inspired the Roswell incident.) Going back to the subject of this vid, I can't believe a German engineer who had created a flying saucer test vehicle that could actually fly wouldn't have taken multiple photos to document the achievement.
15:55 - Of COURSE Hitler never flew in a flying saucer to the Antarctic base. They didn't have the range. Everyone knows he got there in a submarine. DUH! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
Could you do a video about Erich Hartmann, the greatest pilot of all time? At the end of the war the soviets said he had committed war crimes, but then In January 1997 they admitted they had made it up.
It’s possible the Avro-Car didn’t work because it used a heavy jet engine, whereas the Nazi prototype did because it used multiple conventional propellers. We still haven’t been able to make reliable and efficient jet-powered VTOL aircraft, yet helicopters and small drones that use vertical propellers are common.

I personally think the projects did exist in Germany at the time, but the results were grossly exaggerated by the the people involved in an effort to gain more funding/support. Then after the war, it also served the survivors to exaggerate their results in the hopes of getting employment/protection from the US.

my grandmother told me about seeing 2 nazi disk shaped aircraft in WW2, she said this was near the wars end and mentioned to me about them as we discussed the topic of ufo's in the 1960's. She said that they were a extremely secret project and she what able to see them fly by just being in the right place at the right time accidentally. Although she was threatened by the military, but as a German woman playing ignorant of things, after being threatened and told this is not to be spoken about or else, she was released, and good to her word, for 25 years she never mentioned them, except to me shortly before her earthly existence ended. They are real, and the Avro flying disk was to use the ground effect to be able to get to speed for take off and flight over damaged runways and not take off vertically as often stated.
Maybe now after 80 years they have improved the take off part, as we can see via a lot of videos they can fly vertically or horizontally at will. I saw myself a UFO on the cloud back in 2019 and now I became a UFO enthusiast.
I’m a sucker for conspiracy theories, alternative timelines, and all the “what if” of history…. As long as they are confronted in a serious way and devoid of cheap sensationalism… precisely how Dr. Felton does things, as usual great episode.
NAzi germany was able to fly flying disc, but when they knew the war was lost they dismantled them for scraps . . never to mass produce them. but fragments of plans and part where found and got shipped out
The way I heard it the device that flew and later attacked Admiral Bird when he went to Antarctica was the Nazi Bell and was shaped like a bell and had a large spinning disc made of quartz and electrical components imbedded in the disc. It created anti gravitational properties. A few prototypes were made but it was developed too late for mass production. I heard that this group of scientist were also gather along with Von Braun in operation Paper Clip.
You should check out Robert Sepehr videos on the subject.

blower in history!
A 100 years ahead. Now the build Drones which can be flown like motorbikes.
Or a deliberate disinformation project.
I think the Avrocar was a distraction made to be shown to the public as a flop. That's why in the 60's when someone reported a sighting, the Air force would come out, question you, then tell you that you saw Swamp Gas. I remember it. A lot of those are our machines.
The Avrocar was probably a cover story to funnel money into working on a real flying saucer.
@@yesyesyesyes1600 Well, maybe about 60 years ahead. Actually I’m baffled as to the purpose of this device - a constantly running fan without enough power to lift itself out of ground effect level? That sounds as if it would be heavy on fuel consumption.
The Brits managed to make actual hovercraft that could do real work only a few years later, but they seem to have pretty much vanished from regular use, in these emissions-conscious days.
Even if it could have soared up into the sky, the suggestion that flying it in post-WW3 times, after all the runways have been nuked, isn’t exactly compelling. Don’t we have helicopters to do that stuff and that actually work? And where do you put the guns, or the bombs? From the vantage point of the 21st century the whole project looks like a complete waste of time and resources. Just as well it kept the Nazis busy, if only briefly.
I had heard an interesting theory about the UFO conspiracy. The theory goes that it was actually started by the CIA itself. The reason was that they were aware of German flying saucer research (even if the claims were exaggerated they thought it was at least possible) and they were afraid that the Soviets had captured enough research to make their own version. Their biggest fear was a sort of Sputnik scenario (before sputnik) where the Soviets seemed to have vastly superior tech and disenfranchise the public. So they used their WWII connections to Hollywood to put out the thought that if any American saw a flying saucer in the sky their initial thought was in aliens rather than a soviet spy plane. After all, the CIA couldn't care less if people thought aliens were real but they cared a whole lot if Americans thought Communism was superior to Capitalism. Then this conspiracy took on a life of its own. Years later the CIA would reshape the theory to disguise their secret stealth research so now alien craft where thought of by enthusiasts to be triangles or some other shape and not saucers, so if the public saw a weird triangle shaped craft they wouldn't start talking about covert American research but think it was an alien craft. I don't know if this theory is true but its at least interesting.
I'm pretty sure there's at least one case where one "UFOlogist" was being purposely fed disinformation by the US government
That’s a damn good theory
Flying saucers are a human invention and we all know what they are there not a " UFO"" Canada even built one but it did not fly very well , plus the Germans did build some not sure how many or are they still on the drawing board even Tesla made one on paper , and they where built to be used as a floating platform for guns then they could hover and shoot and kill people , they where never where built for space travel , no Aliens used them for space travel , why like i say its a human invention , Holy Wood are the ones to create Aliens into the picture of Flying saucers, plus if real Aliens come here they will come in something way bigger then a tiny Flying saucer , there is no conspiracy its just this how well we are educated about flying saucers and who invented them . Tesla saucer is the most advanced saucer drawn on paper the rest of them used jet engines for lift same as the one that Canada built just one and can be seen on film as scientist and pilots test them , one even crashed in the desert most known test that failed and was a big cover up on what really crashed in the desert , the story is that it got in range of a radio disk the radio field messed with the saucers drive system and it failed to produce lift the craft crashed in the desert, the radio disk was to powerful for use , the two who worked the radio disk got cancer and died the radio disk was removed and replaced with one that had a lower out put and produced less EMF . EMF can give some one cancer if a person is exposed for too long well there you go . bye for know have a nice day and look out for Aliens just kidding .
That's along the same lines as my personal theory. I suspect that there's a break away group who have harnessed our own research in these fields and used it for personal profit and use. We've made enormous strides in terms of technology but friends who have worked in the US navy as decoders assure me that what the public knows about is at least 25 years behind what is actually available. Can you imagine what we may achieve in the next 25 years if we continue at the current pace.
Or should I say the pace of the late 2000's as we have definitely slowed down.
The theory is circular. But-for the fact the CIA concealed the German UFO research, they wouldn't need to worry about UFOs being attributed to communism.
I.e. if UFOs were actually a product of Hitlers Germany, the CIA need only reveal that _"truth"_ to disprove the "communism is better because it produced UFOs" argument.
But the CIA doesn't deal in truth, and that is not the truth. The truth is the powers that be care _very much_ what the public thinks about the existence of aliens, because the germans got the tech from aliens as did the others. And they want to use that tech to hoax an ET threat to humanity.

Mark Felton goes into UFOs... Perfect! The point of the UAP/UFO report was to get everyone talking about this phenomenon sans ridicule... Nothing more. I know you did the video prior to the report's release but it shows that everyone is now willing to discuss this. I'm 56 and part of the generation that ridicule's UFOs. But my kids' generation does not and openly discusses this because of videos like these. Love your work, Mark.
Speak for yourself on UFOs. I'm 70 & have believed in them since I was around 5 when I asked my Mom if there were " others" " out there" while looking at a night sky. I have never ridiculed anyone.
Disks and other shaped aerial craft have been described from the very earliest times.. I being a former Soldier has seen 2 UFOs 1 was triangle shaped hovering near a now defunct nuclear power station at approx 12:20pm others seen it back at around 17:00hrs. Not long after this I saw a cylinder passing right over where I live and carry on over to the NE over my town into Scotland. Do not laugh at thinks that you have not witnessed. The Germans had flying disks. There were photos of not film of these off the ground.. Just like the atom bomb that the Nazis did test detonate on another island near the missile experimental range. According to witness's this did occur and including a ME262 Test Pilot who shouldn't have been flying over that area at that time and witnessed the flash Mushroom cloud .

Modern drones seem to operate on the idea of multiple fan blades to hover and for directional control. It's not too difficult to see one looking like a saucer if someone just put a shell around the frame of the drone.
Didnt that darn there bell thing rotate
Drones are more like helicopters in their operation. The flying saucers were meant to be VTOL aircraft capable of combat. The problem is that a disk is probably the worst wing design you can try to fly with: airflow spills off in all directions. Even with modern computers many of the stealth designs become aerodynamically unstable if the fly-by-wire fails.
Basically no one developed the flying saucer because helicopters and aircraft like the Harrier did the job far better.
I too am struck by the drawing showing multiple rotors and how it looks like a drone encased in a saucer wing.
you haven't considered the weight of the aircraft body and the power/weight ratio of a drone vs a full-sized, manned flying saucer.
@@commander31able60 I did not mean to imply anything about the power to weight ratio, which as you say wouldn't favour a drone encased in a saucer lifting body.
Time to rewatch "Iron Sky"
Iron Sky was brilliant in that it depicted the very likely outcome of failure for the Nazi invasion force. It only makes sense that in isolation on the Moon, their technology, cutting edge in 1945, would have stagnated and severely lagged behind that of Earth by the new millennium.

@@recceeboy1237 I can watch that one. It’s a good movie.
Another German "Flying Saucer" type design was the Focke-Wolfe "Rochen".
An interesting note many do not realize is that the first widely reported "flying saucer" report by Kenneth Arnold over Mount Rainier in Washington was not of a Saucer, but of nine Crescent-Shaped craft. Interestingly, if one compares the drawing Arnold made of what he saw to one of the Flying Wing designs of the Horton Brothers, one would see a striking similarity. The Hortons' Flying wings did fly, and the US even completed Flying Wing bomber prototypes that flew, being the YB-35 and YB-49. While officially, the only surviving Horton craft sits in the Smithsonian, I have to wonder how else Kenneth Arnold would have been able to draw something so close to what at the time would be a highly classified aircraft design that few would be privy to unless he possibly actually saw one?
More interesting if one compares the UFOs to Arnolds instrument lights, one sees a very non Horton Brothers correlation.
That may explain all the donuts they've been selling since their founding in 1964.

If the 'Avrocar' was fitted with a skirt, it looks like it would make a pretty decent hovercraft.
It appeared to rise into ground effect, and had some directional control. If it ever lifted out of ground effect, it might have had serious control issues, and might need aero surfaces, like the flying flapjack, that was successful in a test program.
Have you done a video on the "foo fighters" phenomenon reported by bomber pilots over Germany?

I have copies of the Allied reports. They are 100% authentic.
Der Glocken
High energy active radar as used by the Germans, in certain weather conditions can create atmospheric plasma, so as the radar tracked aircraft it could appear to pilots as if a ball of something was flying along with them.
Some bored German engineer draws a circle on a piece of paper. “You know, für kinder.”

Precursors to some of the modern drone designs, the 50’s were a time of radical innovation in the field of new aeronautical designs, pre computers, that’s why there were so many weird things thought up. Today you put the same info into a computer and the US, China and Russia all turn out similar aircraft...
The computer was what made the difference... both in design and flight control. The early flying wings were very easy to put into uncontrollable states.
China does not design anything. They hack into Lockheed Martin and steal American designs. That's when they are not flying spy planes over taiwan or adding gain of function to covid 19.

There is alot to look at when examining these subjects. The vehicles examined here are very conventional in their power plants, propulsive forces and methods of producing lift. The only thing pictured that represents what most people think of when they hear "German flying saucers" was the plastic model diorama photo. The Haunebu series craft, if they indeed existed, supposedly did not use conventional power generation, or propulsive force generating systems. These likely used an electro-gravitic method of motion. If you want to know more about electro-gravitics, look up a chap named Thomas Townsend Brown. He began his research into gravity manipulation back in the 1920's. A very fascinating individual. This is a seriously fascinating subject, and deserves attention, as it was and still is an important part of our journey to master aviation, and physics. So much of the history of this aspect of aeronautics has been done under the cover of secrecy, that it can be difficult to separate the disinformation from the true information. Do your research. Make up your own mind. Enjoy the jouney! : )

Thank you for this history. The flying disc supposedly designed by Epp as well as later multirotor disc aircraft look similar to current small hovering drones, made mostly of plastic. They all look cool but are basically disguised helicopters and dependent on atmosphere, and fly best at lower altitudes. Disc shaped aircraft, like the flying pancake and the very crude German Sack plane with wooden propeller are basically flying wings, the disc having an airfoil cross section. Caudron in France also designed a postwar flying saucer with jet engine and rotors protruding from the edge of the saucer. A mockup was made but I don't think a prototype was ever flown. There are other saucers with protruding blades such as the so-called Focke-wulf FW-500 saucer with tail rotor, but it is purely fictitious.
"Of that we can be sure". But can we? ( X-files theme music plays) He he.. Thanks Mark. Another interesting, informative and entertaining video. Just keep them coming!

I remember my friend`s father who was a rear gunner in a Lancaster in WWII telling me of a daylight raid he was on over east Germany and his crew noticed a couple of objects/craft flying near by along side. He rotated his gun turret round to have a better view and there were two silver disc like craft. The craft were there for about 15 mins or so then changed direction and flew off at incredible speeds. They never knew what the craft were. Some people at the time wondered if they were Russian or eve Chinese such were the rumours.
On a briefing before one mission he remembered being told to look out for unusual craft that had been spotted over mostly eastern Germany. The person giving the briefing then drew what the craft looked like, an oval/circular shape with lights round it. He said they all burst out laughing as the air crews though they were joking, they were not!
So makes you wonder what was going off. These craft never attacked allied aircraft from what I was told. Could they be terrestrial based or indeed of extra-terrestrial origin?
Hmmmm... the story doesn’t convince me tbh
@Andrea Beeson,The Navy recently released footage of flying objects from modern Naval radar ships and jet fighter pilot's. The modern radar technology picks up these objects. The tremendous speed they exhibit without turning aside and going even under water. This reminds me that these could be heavenly living creatures mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible chapter 1-2. Might check it out! Seems to correlate which we see today.
@strike4able
What site do You mean?
It wasn't just the Allies, it was Germans and Japanese, Russians they all saw these crafts they're called (Foo Fighters) when all the world was flying in mass numbers during World War II but that's just my opinion but that is where the term Foo Fighter comes from.
@@davidmcginnis2075 Thank you, yes that is right they called them Foo Fighters.

Mark Felton at midnight is becoming a real thing
For him it's more like 6pm.
Btw why are you not sleeping at midnight ? 😅
An interesting omission from this, otherwise, fine report was the work that was commissioned or more likely coerced from Victor Schaumberger. The Austrian hydraulics expert whose concepts and designs caught the attention of some of the German engineers who saw the potential in his radical approach to fluid dynamics and propulsion. Although, it was rumored that the peace-loving man tried to slow-walk his efforts to deprive the Germans of any advantages that could be realized from his work, a working prototype "vortex" motor was built and had the ability to provide lift to a sizeable craft. Saucer-shaped or otherwise. As far as the Canadian Avrocar, there is a high probability that this project was an intentional red-herring intended to divert attention from other projects that were being carried out by the Air Force. T. Thomas Townsend had been building flying disc models in his private laboratory in Zanesville, Ohio as early as the 1930's. His models employed a di-electric, high voltage system that seemingly could reduce the inertial mass of a vehicle thus permitting conventional propulsion systems the ability to lift off and land vertically. The B-2 stealth bomber reportedly uses a variation of this effect in its design.
Yeah, the Avrocar was probably a cover story to distract the public and low level military personnel.
So you believe that all the UFOs flying around USA and other countries as well as the Moon nowadays are American crafts?
I am surprised the "Haunebu" wasn't mentioned or referenced at all.
Well then Mark would have to admit that at least some of this is actually real, even though all of it is. People like me have been way ahead of these mainstream history channels on TH-cam which always end up reinforcing the traditional narrative.
@@commanderneyo7903 "People like me have always been ahead of these mainstream history channels" - you do realise just how much of an insufferable toff you sound? I can practically smell your delusions of grandeur through the screen. You just want to delude yourself into thinking that you are superior to those with more expertise than yourself, despite only learning of these things through listening to or reading the works of others, usually with more dubious sources. Of course the mainstream historical narrative is wrong on many issues, but the problem with people like yourself is that you are only interested in investigating further in order to reinforce your self-image as being blessed with hidden knowledge, not just for the sake of finding the truth.
there's no historical evidence that the Haunebu was even a project, unlike the ones that were mentioned, so there's nothing to mention other than a few 1:144 models that are admittedly pretty cool.
@@commander31able60 No historical evidence? You do realize that there are like at least a hundred photos taken during WWII of these crafts in operation in Germany right? They've been assessed by the best experts in the fields of photography and undergone intense forensic analysis and all of them have been proven to be genuine and not doctored. I think you need to realize we are not alone, we have never been alone, and we didn't win WWII, we just tell ourselves that.
@@Jupiter__001_ 'Delusions of grandeur'. You really like using the power system's own vocabulary don't you? Makes you feel all big and powerful, like your on the right side, when you're actually just their lapdog. You enjoy servitude, I enjoy freedom. You might as well be a Fed. Go glow somewhere else.
I think it probable that German scientists were working on types of flying saucers towards the end of WWii, But not because they were into flying saucers, but just because they were working on different types of jet aircraft. All modern aircraft use axial flow gas turbine type jet engines, but if you try and build a Radial flow gas turbine powered aircraft you will end up with a somewhat disc shaped vehicle. Now John Frost was originally working on Radial flow gas turbine vehicles, But if any of them actually flew i am unaware. But the Avro avrocar actually was powered by three axial flow gas turbines, the problems with it was that all three engines would over heat, so maximum power could not be achieved and because of that the main lift rotor could not reach its designed RPM's. The U.S. military was tolled that these issues could be solved, but they cancelled the projects anyway.
they saw and tried to copy the aliens and failed.......
@@erikjohansen9154 Actually these vehicles predate any talk of aliens.
@@michaelshortland8863 That is true, this was long before they started crossing the Rio Grande in large numbers
Yes this is correct but the program cleverly omitted to mention any sensitive research the Germans were working on involving high voltage levitation and electro-gravitic propulsion which has obviously been censored. This Avro hovercraft was a clever disinformation tool and almost everyone fell for it. I know this from 25 years of research so I have the top secret documents and photos to prove that the Germans succeeded in mass producing these high voltage flying saucers. Most of these top secret projects were successfully relocated to South America and Antarctica before the end of the war. All my intelligence sources confirm this info.
Every day i learn something new thank you, Professor Mark for all this interesting WW2-Cold War knowledge.
The wartime work of what William Mills Tompkins in this area is an eye opener, especially who he worked for, where he worked, and who was his ultimate boss, makes interesting reading as are his published books. Some of his interviews are on TH-cam.
can you do a full video about the E-series?
and the FG 1250 night vision system for the Panthers
we also have flying saucers with rockets!
Dear Kim, we know U do !!!!
Lmao

Operation Paperclip
I always assumed the flying saucer thing was just people misreporting the Horten brothers' flying wing experiments.
The Horton 229 does look like the flying crescent shape that was reported by what's his name .
Sorry just had a major brain fart .
But the speed that he estimated was too much .
The Only Horton 229 is in decaying parts in an aircraft storage unit at the aircraft section of the Smithsonian .
There's a really great video that I've seen " Hitler's Stealth Fighter " .
They make a 1 to 1 scale model then hit it with Radar and Infrared to test it's silhouette .
When I was a little boy growing up in France in the early 70's my parents bought me that hard cover comic book ( sort of ) about WW2 weapons and I clearly remember 10 pages about a Nazi Flying saucer...
The whole thing was perfectly depicted and according to them the flying saucer flew perfectly and even reached speeds up to 2200 km/h 😄😄😄
Of course, it completely fascinated the imagination of a 8-year old little boy 😄😄😄 but looking back I don't think it was true...
But, regardless, and in spite of what Mark Felton says everybody knows the Nazis ended up building secret bases in Antarctica with crazier weapons and from there they went to the moon...I even watched a movie about it 😄😄😄

Just when you think Mark Felton must be smoking some exceedingly dank weed, he delivers another beautifully researched piece.
We’d get on
The AVROCar doesn't seem very.......stable. I can't help feeling that flying in that thing would induce serious motion sickness.
I agree, but I believe that building a steady flying saucer is feasible today with all this electronic technology
People later added a rubber skirt around the edges and came up with the hover craft.
@@Frank7748124 Exactly!
@@mitsos_306 If you've seen some of the prototypes for flying vehicles based on scaled up drone tech, I think it shows that thanks to computer controlled rotor speeds that the idea the Germans were playing with has finally come of age.
I don't think we'll see the saucer shape though simply because it's unnecessary. Or perhaps if we do see it, it'll be because someone thinks it'll look cool when in flight (which it would), not because it needs to be that shape to work.
This is, by far, the best “amateur” channel on TH-cam. I have never been disappointed with Mark’s videos. Keep up the great work. And there’s nothing amateur about this channel.
"i'm not saying it's aliens, but.....aliens"
Someone had to say it. XD

So Iron Sky isn't a documentary?

The Legend of the "Foo Fighters" begins
Learn To Fly?
Do i detect a charoake proposal...
There was something to Foo Fighters. Likely an atmospheric phenomenon that has yet to be accurately explained. Maybe the sheer concentrations of metal in the air from bomber formations provoked electrical displays similar to ball lightning.
I liked their early stuff, but anything past 2007 was quite shite.
The prop wash could have generated enough static electricity to produce such crazy phenomenon. I have a friend who was a gunner on B 17s. I will ask him about them.
Mucholapka flytrap in Poland is somehow connected to the flying disc programme in my opinion.
Just because something cannot be explained doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist . Along with the Bell and other anti - gravity projects these are fascinating subjects and raise many questions.
Another very interesting video Mr Felton nice work.
Don't be fruity, Muchołapka is strictly for time travel.

“Taken with a pinch of salt” is interesting and makes more sense to me than the more common American venacular of “taken with a grain of salt.” I’m incorporating it!
A video on Foo Fighters would be interesting. Unless I’m just forgetting that Mark has done one already.

@@laszlozoltan5021 I don’t know ask the 7 other people who think it’s a good idea too.

@@11kungfu11 do you agree with it being nonsense?
It’s not about the legitimacy. I’m interested in the historical record in regards to WW2 history. Of course I’d like to see more content rooted in actual fact but thought since the subject was relatively similar it’d be fun to get Dr. Felton’s view on the subject.
Would be interesting to hear your take on Viktor Schauberger and his inputs on flying discs.
I just love the way Dr Felton is referring to some over rated " alien" channels 😁😉
Best introduction and perfectly acceptable dig at History Channel ;)
I guess the propulsion system worked differently once they were delivered to the moon base.
no
Probably worked differently once they left the Earth's atmosphere.
At 4:04 nice of them to write out the parts of the saucer out in English. It makes it easier to configure

Hitler never flew in a flying disk to Antarctica, but he did fly to Spain and took a submarine to South America where he and Eva lived out the rest of their natural lives.

He did his part in the Illumaniti so time for rest. Pretty fucked up.
Wrong....the base in Antarctica still exists to this day......it draws power from undergound geothermal energy.
I very much appreciate Dr. Felton's ability to pronounce German names and other words, considering the low levels of competence generally found on TH-cam channels. Danke.
First die Glocke and now this, Has Mark Felton been watching Iron Sky or something?
This was covered in "The Victor" Book for boys magazine in the late sixties/early seventies, with drawings of said aircraft.
One of the main problems with the German flying disc was that the circling cabin pushed passengers against the wall. There were many deaths ...
Was this due to a lack of proper pressurization or just a lack of the electrogravitic field not being strong enough to hold a constantly stable reaction in the craft?
Why couldn't they use an obituator?
Sadly that's a typical outcome of inertial damper failure.
@Pete Singletons Yes! Strangely enough, it was German scientists who said that there would be no rotation of the earth, because otherwise everyone would be pushed to the edge of the disk. Only to refute Einstein ...
What a great video Mark, really interesting and will we ever know? Probably about as much as finding Hitlers hidden gold train in the alps! Keep up the good work Mark.
In 1998, while I was returning home to Ohio (by car) from my Officer Basic Course in Arizona, I stopped to spend the night in Roswell, New Mexico. The next day, before continuing my epic road trip, I spent an hour at the "International UFO Museum and Research Center." "Cheesy" doesn't begin to describe the experience! One of the lame exhibits was a model kit diorama of the Nazis and their flying saucer in a glass case. It was very much like the one shown at the beginning of this video. (They also had a mock-up of the "alien autopsy". More interesting was this Air Force parachuting dummy that some thought might have inspired the Roswell incident.) Going back to the subject of this vid, I can't believe a German engineer who had created a flying saucer test vehicle that could actually fly wouldn't have taken multiple photos to document the achievement.
15:55 - Of COURSE Hitler never flew in a flying saucer to the Antarctic base. They didn't have the range. Everyone knows he got there in a submarine. DUH! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
Hitler wasn't a pilot, couldn't fly anything 🤗
@@jonathansteadman7935 maybe he had pilots right?
Could you do a video about Erich Hartmann, the greatest pilot of all time?
At the end of the war the soviets said he had committed war crimes, but then In January 1997 they admitted they had made it up.
Look I’m not here to cast aspersions on the work of Mr. Hartmann, but I think James H. Doolittle is the greatest pilot of all time.
It’s possible the Avro-Car didn’t work because it used a heavy jet engine, whereas the Nazi prototype did because it used multiple conventional propellers. We still haven’t been able to make reliable and efficient jet-powered VTOL aircraft, yet helicopters and small drones that use vertical propellers are common.
Exactly
