Official alien existence may have never been recorded but their supposed preferred method of transport came close to becoming a reality.
These detailed diagrams and sketches, released last month by the National Archives, show the mind-blowing military initiative, named Project 1794 to build an all-powerful fully-functioning flying saucer to patrol the skies.
In a 1956 memo it is acknowledged that the craft was to reach top speeds 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'.

They didn't then nor do they now have the technology to make a circular disk with no directed thrust fly Mach 3 or 4. This article is blown way out of proportion. Typical daily mail.
