The Horton brothers
Fresh Air on NPR
here.
On flying discs and conspiracy theories
"The UFO craze began in the summer of 1947. Several months later, the G2
intelligence, which was the Army intelligence corps at the time, spent an
enormous amount of time and treasure seeking out two former Third Reich
aerospace designers named Walter and Reimar Horten who had allegedly created a
flying disc. ... American intelligence agents fanned out across Europe seeking
the Horton brothers to find out if, in fact, they had made this flying disc.
"The idea behind it remains, why? Why were they looking for a flying disc? And
conspiracy theorists have had their hands on this declassified file for over a
decade now, and they say it proves that this flying disc came from outer space.
If you read the documents, the takeaway that I found fascinating was that at the
end of it, the Army admits finding the Horten brothers, and that the Horten
brothers admitted their contact with the Russians and that's where the file
ends. Everything after that is classified."
