The nazis retaliate by launching
an incredible new weapon --

V-1 rockets called buzz bombs --
aimed for England.

On d-day, the allies landed,
somewhat unexpectedly

And more successfully than
the germans had anticipated,

And the launching of the v-1
was to get revenge

On them for this invasion

There was no warning,
no possible defense against it.

Narrator:
Nor any logical explanation

After ten years of test flights.

American engineer robert goddard
fired a liquid-fueled a8

To an altitude of 9,000 feet,
a record-setting achievement.

But as cutting edge as it was,
goddard's rocket

Could only travel
up and down,

So was it sheer coincidence

That german aerospace
engineering took off

In the years after the ufo crash
in the black forest?

Ufo researchers say no,
and point squarely at another

Nazi innovation --
the flying wing.

The nazis had something called
the horten ho 229,

Which was a flying-wing design.

This plane was totally
revolutionary

And far beyond anything

That the americans could have
even conceived of at the time.

It had no tail.

It was literally
just a flying wing.

It was essentially
the predecessor

To the american b-2 bomber.

The fact that the nazis even had
the idea for it, it's amazing.

[ whooshing ]

This is a delta-shaped craft,

And again, this design was
like nothing

That had been seen before
in the aviation community.

And if you look at the shape
of this aircraft,

It really does remind you,

For all the world,
of a b-2 stealth bomber.

Narrator: It's hard to believe
that half a century before

The u.S. Military deployed
this american icon,

The nazis were developing
the same stealth technology --

A flying wing --

In an era before calculators
were even invented,

Convincing evidence of possible
extraterrestrial influence

Behind hitler's reign of terror.

seemingly from nowhere,

The nazis suddenly
acquired technology

That frankly was a generation
or two ahead of itself

All within a matter of years,
and all,

If the stories
are to be believed,

Very shortly after this
ufo crash in the black forest.

Narrator:
In his quest to dominate europe,

Adolf hitler relied
on an ever-advancing array

Of incredible airborne weapons,

The likes of which
the world had never seen,

Weapons some people claim

Were reverse-engineered
from ufo technology.

Some nazis were really concerned
by '43 or '44

That they couldn't win
the war conventionally anymore,

So they needed miracle weapons
or new technologies.

So there's clear evidence
that some nazis,

Scientists and engineers,

Experimented with things that
might look like flying saucers.

One of the scientists
who it's claimed worked on this

Recovered alien technology

Was viktor schauberger,

And he is an austrian inventor
who many believe was really

A pioneer
in the field of anti-gravity.

Narrator: Stories passed down
since the war

Suggest that schauberger's
most ambitious development

For the nazi war effort

Was a revolutionary aircraft
called the haunebu.

Dolan: There's a lot of mystique
about schauberger's work,

But it is entirely possible,
and I think likely,

That he developed
disk-shaped air frames

For the reich
as experimental devices.

Viktor schauberger was
the person pivotal

To the whole haunebu program.

And he was the one

How to construct a prototype.

He was the one who would

To hitler himself on,
"are any of these projects

Ready for operational

Germany had an incredibly

Advanced scientific

And an equally advanced

schauberger's project,

The nazis gather workers
from concentration camps.

Kurlander:
He was told, "we're gonna
give you slave labor.

We don't care
what happens to them."

Because a lot of the stuff
that schauberger's working with

Involved radiation, mercury,

And people would get poisoned,
so they said, "go ahead.

You've got all these
free laborers.

We'd like to see
what you can do with that."

♪♪

Narrator:
At the heart of the radical
design for the haunebu

Is a propulsion system

Called the repulsine
that would, in theory,

Allow the craft
not only to hover,

But maneuver through the air
in almost any direction.

Pope: Some people say that
it was powered

By some sort of manipulation
of magnetic fields,

But others go further and say,

"actually, it was
an anti-gravity device."

It's been reported that the
nazis had developed two craft,

The haunebu I
and the haunebu ii.

It stood about 82 feet high.

These were massive craft,

Capable of taking up
to 20 people up into the air,

Maybe even into space.

But they also were shaped like
the classic-shaped disk ufos.

♪♪

They wanted to create
anti-gravity craft

That could be used
in the war against the west.

To us, this is kind of unusual
and something

We would never
even bother to try,

But guys like schauberger
decided,

"we're gonna try everything."

Narrator: But if schauberger
really designed

And built a flying saucer,
where's the proof?

Some answers come in 1945,
after the war,

When the u.S. Military discovers
secret nazi archives,

And what they find
proves shocking.

Documents confirm
that viktor schauberger had,

In fact, developed designs
for not one,

But three working versions
of the haunebu spacecraft.

Documents even claim that
the haunebu could achieve

Speeds
of 1,200 miles per hour,

Far beyond the limits
of flight at that time.

And years later,
hard evidence has come to light.

Seen here for the first time
on national television,

Footage of what appears to be

A haunebu saucer's test flight
in 1939.

Bob spearing,
a visual analysis expert

For the mutual ufo network,
studied the film.

What we're looking at here
is the purported flight

Of a nazi aircraft
called the haunebu,

But why would they be doing it
in a populated area

Such as seen in this film?

We don't know.

It's difficult to say
where this film came from.

Whether or not this film is
legitimate is subject to doubt,

But there are certain things
about the film

Which suggest
that it might be real.

You can see emulsion flakes
coming off the film,

Which suggests that it was
16-millimeter film

As opposed to it
being a modern video.

We know the nazis were
experimenting with craft

Of this shape back then,

And from all intents
and purposes,

The age of the film
is probably about 1939 vintage,

And this could be
an experimental aircraft

Being filmed in nazi germany
at the time.

So it is possible that this is
a legitimate film.

In the black forest be true?

Might that be where the nazis
acquired these ideas

And this prototype technology?

I mean, you have to scratch
your head and think,

"how in the world

It appears that this may have
been the first time

That our military has faced
advanced technology

That could be of alien origin.

Narrator: Though many
researchers are convinced

That schauberger's
work likely benefited

From extraterrestrial

There are stranger theories
floating around

Of an even deeper connection
to an alien intelligence.

Now it's well-known
that the nazis were attempting

To channel
from spirit beings,

And they were
trying to communicate

With extraterrestrials.

Bara:
Schauberger said that he was
in sort of a supernatural

Communication with higher beings
that gave him these ideas.

He said these ideas
were not his.

They actually came
from a higher source.

Narrator:
Many ufo experts believe
the crash in the black forest

Was a watershed moment
in german aerospace development.

But retro-engineering
a spacecraft is one thing.

Calling on alien ships

To help fight the enemy
is quite another.

In late December 1944,

As the u.S. Air force prepares
to drop bombs over nazi germany,

A new, unimaginable threat
is first seen in the skies.

An allied pilot spots
a bright ball of light

Approaching fast
on a collision course.

The pilot tries to avoid
an imminent crash when suddenly

The object disappears
right before his eyes.

Dolan: Allied bombing missions
typically over germany

Would report objects,

Often luminous types of objects
coming toward their aircraft,

Pacing them for
a certain period of time

Coinciding with what seemed like
engine interference on the plane

And then the objects
would often zoom off,

the so-called foo fighters.

Now these were variously
described as

Balls of light,

Often seen in close
vicinity of aircraft.

So we have multiple
pilot witnesses,

So that takes you into
the realm of credibility here.

People thought that they were
maybe under attack

And tried to take
some evasive actions.

British and u.S. Pilots
who saw these things

Thought that this was
some sort of nazi secret weapon,

The nazis somehow having
acquired technology

Generations ahead

Of anything that anyone else
had at the time.

At first, air force pilot
reports are dismissed

As misinterpretations
of crews under fire

In the heat of battle,
but increasingly

American and british
military officials realize

They're dealing with something
that defies all explanation.

They enveloped american fighters
as they were

Conducting these bombing raids
over germany.

These things would
keep pace with

And follow american aircraft.

And, initially, we wondered
if it was nazi technology.

They were doing things that no
conventional aircraft could do,

And it didn't appear
that they were solid objects.

Dolan:
One of the things that you see
with these foo fighter reports

Is they're not like
ordinary aircraft.

How they move seemed to be
kind of a mystery.

There are elements of these
foo fighters

That are fascinating

And mysterious and unexplained.

[ rumbling ]

And before long, pilots took
to calling them

"foo fighters," after the french
word "feu" for "fire,"

And because of how dangerous

They thought
these objects might be.

They have capabilities
that were, I would say,

Superior to that of bomber
and fighter aircraft.

They seemed to be faster,

They seemed to have
greater maneuverability.

They didn't seem to make
any noise,

But they definitely seemed
to be intelligently controlled.

On December 13th, 1944,
in paris, France,

The allied war command issues
a press release

Describing the foo fighters

As "the newest nazi
secret weapon."

Dolan:
It's a reasonable speculation,

But the problem is,
what's the evidence

That the germans actually
were creating these things?

And the answer to that is none.

Narrator: Which leads to some
radical theories.

Could it be, as some researchers
speculate, that the foo fighters

Were not simply
reverse-engineered alien tech,

But were actually flown
by extraterrestrials

In support of the nazis?

Or were they the most
shocking example yet

Of a wonder weapon
from nazi scientists?

Pope: There are stories
that the nazis

Developed two prototype
weapons systems

That might explain some of
these foo fighter sightings.

The first was called
soap bubbles,

Which was effectively a balloon

With a sort of metal coil
inside,

Which would have acted
to confound radar systems.

The second was apparently
codenamed "flying turtle"

to all intents and purposes,

A drone,
an unmanned aerial vehicle

Capable of interfering
with electrical systems.

Bara: I think there's
definitely a connection

Between the nazi energy research
that they were conducting

And these foo fighters.

It may actually be possible
that they were nothing more

Than some sort of
reconnaissance energy

That was being used by the nazis
to find out

Where these different aircraft
and bomber squadrons

Were coming from.

They definitely were
intelligently controlled,

But if they weren't
nazi weapons of some kind,

Then what were they?

Narrator:
The effect that foo fighters
were having allied aircraft

Seems remarkably similar
to what is reported

During more modern
ufo encounters.

Pope: The loss of power is
something very often

Associated not just with these
apparent nazi prototype weapons,

But with ufos,

And the theory is that

The ufo has some sort of
propulsion system

That affects
electromagnetic devices

And cause them to stall.

Dolan: I will say that
something as big

As the second world war

Would be of interest
to any observing intelligence.

If I were to guess
what the foo fighters were,

I would say that they were not
from our civilization.

If they were reported today,
if they were seen now by pilots,

They would be called ufos.

There's no question
that this sparked the ufo craze,

So was this
extraterrestrial technology,

if you charge it with a negative

Maybe our entire perception

against these nazis

And then, at the same time,
bring many of the other nazis

Over whose skills
were still coveted --

Clearly that's
highly hypocritical.

Narrator:
Still, operation paperclip

Delivered to the u.S.
A wealth of scientific knowledge

And maybe even a treasure trove
of extraterrestrial technology.

But what impact will nazi ufo
secrets have on america?

♪♪

-Coming up...
-Dolan: Dr. Wernher von braun

Ran the program
for the v-2 rockets.

He became the most
prominent person in nasa.

Tindal: The fact that we beat
the russians to the moon

Has its roots
in nazi technology.

♪♪

Narrator: After world war ii,
the united states is desperate

For any edge over its new
archrival the soviet union,

As both countries set
their sights on the moon.

The u.S. Found that edge,
say ufo researchers,

From their undercover
nazi scientists

With their knowledge
of secret alien technology.

♪♪

Carson:
The purpose that they put these
nazis in positions of power

Was because they wanted
to be able to let them feel free

To continue to develop
a lot of the technologies.

Because a lot of these nazis
were actually excited

And pleased with the technology
that they were developing.

It was like they had found
their life's calling.

Pope:
All this nazi technology --

Not just rockets
and jet engines,

But according to
some people anti-gravity

And even perhaps time travel --

All this technology was now
in the hands

Of the u.S. Government.

And it's at this point onwards
that the united states

Really becomes the dominant
power on the face of the earth.

♪♪

Narrator: Wernher von braun
and viktor schauberger

Are instrumental
in the u.S. Space program,

But once they've shared
all their secrets,

They become
a lot less valuable.

♪♪

Pope: These nazi scientists
had a mixed fate.

Viktor schauberger is one of
the intriguing characters here.

This maverick austrian inventor
signed away the rights

And the patents to all sorts
of inventions and discoveries.

And within five days of being
repatriated back to austria,

He was dead.

♪♪

Did he know too much?

Was he silenced once
he had been debriefed

And once the information
had been extracted from him

And signed away?

We don't know.

But many of these scientists
would be put to work

On developing the sorts
of technologies

That they had been using
for the nazis,

Turning it into
what ultimately became,

For example, the titan rocket.

And much of our
modern technology

That we have even today

With intercontinental ballistic
missiles and space rockets --

All of that effectively
was derived

From this nazi
rocket technology.

The most famous of all
the scientists, of course,

Was dr. Wernher von braun,

Who became the most
prominent person in nasa

And designed
the saturn v rockets

That were the rockets
that took astronauts

Out of earth orbit to the moon.

♪♪

It was von braun and other
top nazi scientists

Who had created the v-2 program,

And when they were brought here

That turned
into our rocket program.

Lukes:
The truth is, as you look back
at the apollo space program,

It becomes clear
that we really didn't have

An american rocket program.

We had a german rocket program,
and without them,

We wouldn't have been able
to get to the moon,

And we must clearly
wouldn't have been able

To beat the russians there.

Narrator: But is it possible
that the nazi connection

To extraterrestrial technology

Runs deeper than mere
mechanics and engineering?

Perhaps a much more profound
nexus to alien intelligence

That we can only guess at.

Some people believe that
the united states government

Wanted to use
the nazi scientists

To develop the alien technology

And potentially contact
extraterrestrial civilizations.

Some think that, when they
created nasa,

They had two different
sides to it --

The public front
of the space program,

And the secret program

Where they developed
black-budget alien technologies

That the public
will never know about.

♪♪

Narrator:
We may also never know how much
the nazi war machine

Was influenced
by extraterrestrial technology,

Technology that nearly turned
the tide of world war ii.

We must remember that the
black forest ufo crash in 1936

Takes place just as hitler
and the nazis

Are cementing their power
and authority.

So one asks the question,
could this crash of a ufo

And the acquisition of this
extraterrestrial technology

Have been the deciding factor
in making hitler

And his top generals decide
to try to conquer the world?

♪♪

Alien technology came very close
to giving hitler

What he needed
to win the war in europe.

The capabilities of these
weapons and devices

Had they been exploited
into mass production

Would have been devastating
to the americans,

And there is no way
that the allies could have

Possibly caught up in time

To defend themselves
against these wonder weapons.

Narrator: For ufo researchers,

The case is convincing
that alien technology

Inspired
nazi germany's wonder weapons

And nasa's space program,

A seed planted
in the black forest

That would forever change
life on earth.
