The Day the Reich Stood still!

Here are some photographs of an event that took place late in late summer in 1944 at an airfield somewhere in southern Germany.

The ground crew spots an unknown aircraft type in the air slowly moving towards the airfield...


The camera man moved inside the hanger and took this photograph of the disc shaped craft as it started to land...


Some Army troops arrived to keep watch on this thing...no shots were fired.


After someone tried to get near the disc it took off and sped away faster than anything seen before, this photograph was taken just after the aircraft retracted its landing gear legs.


This is the only other known photograph of this unknown aircraft...notice its in color, this photograph must have been taken at a different time than the B/W photographs.

Thanks Chris!

My UFO model was built from a kit I had seen in a Walthers catalog, the kit was VERY expensive for what you actually get....not one of my better purchases. Some of the model RR stuff can be overpriced.

Cue Outer Limits opening narration:
"Die Deutsche Wochenschau informiert: Ihr Fernsehgerät ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Versuchen Sie nicht, das Bild zu verstellen. <...> Sie sind kurz davor, Ehrfurcht und Mysterien zu erleben. Ehrfurcht und Mysterien, die sich erstrecken vom Innersten des Geistes bis zu den.... Äusseren Grenzen!"

;D

It's the first two sentences and the last one translated.


Fantastic build and photography! :bow:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Excellent model and photography - nice one!  :thumbsup: :wub:

So this begs the question, was it aliens or a secret Nazi UFO that got the wrong airfield?

This is my favorite of all your Luft Photoshop wonders yet, Matrixone! The shot that looks like it was taken from inside the hangar is a real keeper!

This has got to be one of your best yet Matrix! Superb photography too.

I bet this ends up on some UFO website as proof of Nazi flying saucers!

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Thanks guys!

Weaver,
It is unknown if this was an Alien craft or a test vehicle from Dr. Mieth or Dr. Schriever.
New photographs may appear someday... :rolleyes:
