project 1794 is from the early 50's, by the United States Air Force and AVRO Aircraft. It used to be secret, but in 2012 the information has been declassified. I was really hyped when I found these two reports online at the National Archives, placed a link on my IFO site so that others could find it, but it didn't really get picked up. Kind of understand why: on the National Archives these pictures are not that easy to view, and they didn't color correct the scans. The video I made here is in 4K, so you can read all the pages clearly. (more than 200 pages!) So yes; a flying saucer! This was serious research, about how to build a real flying saucer, not a UFO of course, but disc shaped aircraft called: Silverbug, Y-2, and the prototype P.V. 704. They were designed to be VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) fly supersonic and at extremely high altitudes. Up to Mach 3+ and a 100,000 feet. These specifications are not of a jet fighter. When flying this high and fast, think instead of what has been build in the 60's: the Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird". The 2 original reports can be found at "the National Archives". www.archives.gov Project 1794 Final Development Summary Report https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6920770 Program Planning Report Project 1794 Extension Program https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6981836 Access Restriction(s) & Use Restriction(s): Unrestricted The main character of this story is John Carver Meadows Frost, a man who's work has been a great inspiration to me, for his many way-out-there aircraft designs. He for example is also the father of the AVRO car. But yea: Silverbug has never flown? Is that really so? One of the clearest UFO photos ever made, shows a disc shaped flying something that looks remarkably similar to the designs in Project 1794. These photos were taken by Photographer Ed Keffel and reporter João Martins. They spotted this UFO at Barra da Tijuca, Brazil, on May the 7th 1952. So; the UFO photos are from 1952, and these final reports are from 1956 and 1957... If any of you happen to go visit area 51, you may find the Silverbug craft there. Please make some good photos, that would be awesome!
