An interesting program on C5 this evening about the real origins of the flying saucer. Apparently designed by German scientists near the end WWII to be a long range, super sonic bomber to use against New York. After the end of the war Russian and US governments grabbed the scientists for their own uses.

Come the cold war in the '50s the US military were testing these craft hid the fact by denying their existence and hinting and extraterrestrial origins.

Is the majority of Sci-fi today fueled by the missinformation of the CIA in the 50s?
