As I write this week’s blog (sipping cranberry Kombucha, eating a burrito and a white chocolate peanut butter cup) I have so many topics I want to talk about. So today I decided to write about the tech that came out of WWII.
The Third Reich had a prototype fighter/bomber, the Horton H 229. The advancement they had back in 1939-1945 was staggering. The Horton bomber was made of all wood. Was it fully stealth? Were they thinking about radar? Looking at it in a picture, it looks like a UFO. So if technology was that advanced over 70 years ago, can you imagine what scientists now can build upon that tech? Makes you wonder if that is what everyone has seen and still sees to this day. Man-made planes. We know when WWII ended a lot of the scientists came to the States to work.

About 10 years after WWII, NASA was birthed. Was this all due to the Third Reich scientists? They do say the spoils of war go to the winners.
In so many ways mankind was more advanced 70 or even 100 years age than we are now. Yes we have computers and cell phones, but without them most of us would not survive.
What do you think? Have UFOs been man-made all along? Was the modern stealth aircraft directly inspired by secret Nazi planes? Share your ideas and stories in the comments below.
