Is this a real UFO or Hollywood magic???
David L. Wolper and Tommy Walker came up with the idea of the UFO theme. It took designers John McGraw and John Miles five weeks from start to finish to create. The UFO was lifted by a Bell 314 big-lift Helicopter and it was 50 feet in diameter. They used a 90 KVA 208 3 phase gas turbine generator to power the lights. Not rocket fuel, I guess the reporter said so to make it more real and dramatic. So, yes, it's Hollywood magic. Source:http://www.laughingplace.com/News-ID108360.aspThe American military did create a "flying saucer" that could fly, but, it couldn't fly that high and it was very hard to maneuver. (Of course I can't find any links to it now that I need it.) The whole project cost a lot and gave nothing in return since it was very unpractical and even unsafe to use.
