Government report on secret flying saucer program made available

     In a recent article titled "Government report on secret flying saucer program made available," the author informs readers about the government's plan to build a flying saucer.
    The article states  "...came across a 114-page document from 1956 sure to interest the tin-foil-hat crowd: a document describing a secret program by the Air Force to build a flying saucer." Why would the government want to build a flying saucer? Perhaps they feared another Roswell incident and wanted to be prepared.
     The article also states "The newly released documents, not yet posted on the website of the National Declassification Center, offer details on a Cold War-era plan to build a round vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that can only be described as a flying saucer." The government had planned on building a flying saucer, but that didn't work out.
     "The report notes a follow up plan to develop weapons suitable for the saucer..." The government wanted to build the flying saucer and make sure it worked properly, and wanted to build weapons for it.
     This article makes me think about all those movies about aliens.
