1945." '
Klein says the Russians
captured a scale model and top
technicians at Breslau. The
technicians have not returned
to Germany.

Flying Saucer built to-day-
one with a diameter of 48ft.
powered by five jets and a
larger model with a diameter
of 126ft. and 12 jets.
This, he says, accounts for
the rumour that Saucers often
appear to change size sud-
denly.
Raised wing flaps liCt both '
