Officially, aliens have never existed but flying saucers very nearly 
did. The National Archives has recently published never-before-seen 
schematics and details of a 1950s military venture, called Project 1794, 
which aimed to build a supersonic flying saucer.

The newly declassified materials show the U.S. Air Force had a contract 
with a now-defunct Canadian company to build an aircraft unlike anything 
seen before. Project 1794 got as far as the initial rounds of product 
development and into prototype design. In a memo dating from 1956 the 
results from pre-prototype testing are summarized and reveal exactly 
what the developers had hoped to create.

The saucer was supposed to reach a top speed of “between Mach 3 and Mach 
4, a ceiling of over 100,000 ft. and a maximum range with allowances of 
about 1,000 nautical miles,† according to the document.

If the plans had followed through to completion they would have created 
a saucer, which could spin through the Earth’s stratosphere at an 
average top speed of about 2,600 miles per hour. Wow. It was also 
designed to take off and land vertically (VTOL), using propulsion jets 
to control and stabilize the aircraft. Admittedly the range of 1,000 
nautical miles seems limited in comparison to the other specifications – 
but if you’d hopped on the disk in New York it could’ve had you in Miami 
within about 24 minutes.

The document also hints that the product development seemed to be going 
better than planned; “the present design will provide a much superior 
performance to that estimated at the start of contract negotiations.†

It begs the question – why was the project dropped? Why aren’t wars 
being fought with flying saucers? The cost of continuing to prototype 
was estimated at $3,168,000, which roughly translates to about $26.6 
million in today’s money and wouldn’t have been an insane price for such 
advanced technology. The problem with the other flying saucers developed 
under the same program (see video) is pretty clear. They didn’t get 
anywhere near 100,000 feet in altitude, more like five or six if you 
were lucky – so the military finally pulled the plug in 1960.
