The Real Tech Behind Flying Saucers
The U.S. Military's flying saucer never came to fruition, but the physics that could have made it possible are used today in airplanes, missiles, and spacecraft.

Coanda Effect
In the early 1900s Romanian researcher Henri Coanda proved airflow sticks to a gently curved surface. This simple principle is a central tenet of hydrology and aerodynamics.
Saucer Application
Avro engineers found that routing exhaust over the lower hemisphere of a saucer forms a cushion beneath the craft, enabling it to hover. However, they overestimated the cushion's height and power.
Other Uses
Some airplanes, such as the C-17 Globemaster III, use the Coanda effect to route exhaust across the tops of their wings to speed airflow, increasing lift when planes are flying at low speeds.
Vectored Thrust
Some aircraft can wiggle their jet engine nozzles to help steer. In certain designs, the entire nozzle can swivel to point in a new direction for even more dramatic maneuverability.
Saucer Application
America's saucer was designed to use the same propulsion system to hover or fly. Air was sucked into an intake and shunted to the rim of the craft; shutters directed the exhaust downward for hovering, or to the side for moving laterally.
Other Uses
Missiles can change direction by adjusting their nozzles; the F-22 Raptor's engine diverts its exhaust to allow sharp turns. The F-35B Lightning II, made to operate from carrier decks, points its exhaust nozzle downward to hover.
Round Fuselage
A curved shape is well-suited to aircraft that fly across a wide range of speeds. At high speeds, the shape dissipates the heat of air friction. At lower speeds, it generates lots of lift but little drag.
Saucer Application
Avro sold the U.S. on the idea of a supersonic aircraft that could take off vertically and intercept bombers. A disc would provide predictable aerodynamics at high and low speeds. And it could fly in any orientation.
Other Uses
Round shapes are used on the bottoms of space capsules and the Dream Chaser space plane (right). Blunt fuselages are ideal for reentry craft that go from hypersonic speeds to a halt.

I seen this story release in the February 2013 issue of Popular Mechanics, I had shared the information with a few here for possibly posting the story for me due too my issues with PC, but nothing came from the information once I had sent it to these individuals for further extrapolation of the topic.
I am still having PC issue, unfortunately, but if you were to go through each and every physics topic, i.e. 'Coanda Effects' 'Cylindrical Fuselages' etc. etc. , and get the infor mation and post with this issue release, it would give quite a nice timeline of the "Who, What, When and where's" for those of us here that don't really get the full impact of the true value of this release.
Though minimal at best for disclosure, it is an 'important' release of information IMPO.
So, go get every category covered and then post those finds, will make for some interesting rebuttal, from both experienced and none educated of these events being very probable.
Thanks astr0144 for posting this, didn't even ask you too, but knew someone sooner or later would eventually find it as important as I did. Pretty important as far as "Disclosure" discussions go. ;)

All of that info is on youtube as a six part.watched it last night.history project ufo .thats the title i believe.there is also a show called history project:ufo history that played on denver pbs a few years back that layed out roswell in heavy detail with names of people of the military including the red haired colonel that was shutting people up.
i dont know where the movie went.it disappeared.
The coanda effect is correct but personally i thought that was common knowledge.no offence intended.the new craft have no intakes or propellors so how does it get lift.how does it become invisible. that is the edge of current research.it is believed it high voltage .
my personal belief is the ionized air molecules are driven by a magnetic coil.an example of the motor would be the mercury caduceous coil ionizer .
Saucers are almost old school with the tr3b out.
supposedly once in outerspace there is no top speed.

Okay so... in that mess :P you have combined several different effects
So let me clean it up a little.
#1 The Avro Car was NOT using the Coanda Effect... they had a big fan in the center creating a cushion of air below the craft... basically a hover craft. because there was only one fan, there was no way to stabilize it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmPiZv4q4Ms
#2Coanda effect used the flow of a fluid (air, water or plasma) over a surface to provide lift. Water is obviously impractical though :P
In the video below you will see the fan is on TOP of the craft, blowing air over the hull. The vanes can be moved like ailerons on an airplane to control flight. No plasma here just air over a curved surface... yeah it WORKS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXVtUCABiv8
...and you can make one for a couple hundred Here you can see the fan is on top more clearly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggUIJDgkSSs
... using smoke to illustrate the effect
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqxJe-RMUsI
UFO Footage near the Aviano Air Force Base in Italy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPfIbJTB0IA
#3 Invisibility see the cloaking thread
#4If Plasma is the fluid, then the ship would be almost cloaked by the effect of the light reflecting being disrupted by the plasma field... like the heat coming off a highway or looking through a jet exhaust (different cause same visual effect) So you COULDN'T take a clear picture of a real UFO in flight :D

Truthfully im dumbfounded by that video.my mind says its fake but cant point nothing out except some kinda diesel exaust or black smoke at different times.
The way it was flying.my guess low tech.
I think there were multiple disk programs going on at the same time...if you look at the project 1794 report, the design is radically different from the Avrocar.
