      Like the Germans tried to build during WW2?



      I saw a documentary about them a while ago on telly. Apparently the German engineers were onto something, but still had a long way to go. The top man in charge of the project apparently vanished. The official line was that he presumed dead, but conspiracy theorists suggest he was one of the many German engineers that the yanks employed after the war, but that they kept it secret, hence the unusual relative frequency of UFO sightings over Americas most well known top secret air force base.

        Never thought about that.
        Would that happen, d'you think? Woudn't the cameras would be ever so tiny? telescope.gif
        Little bigger than a screw head, I'd imagine.

          :yikes: :thud: :sofa:


          If I was on one of those planes it wouldn't make any difference taking the windows out, I'd add to the weight with all the extra underwear I'd have to carry! :heehee:

          Why is this thread in 'The Buttery'?........if it hadn't been for Loli tagging me I wouldn't have seen it, I don't come in here. :)

                          I swim like a brick Loli but there's life jackets and emergency boats on modern day ships! :biggrin:

                          Looks like Zigs wants in too, that's fine by me but not in anything glass bottomed! :heehee:

                          So where are we all off too then? :)
