I don't mean to sound insaulting, but, you're thinking of a frisbee, not a Flying Disk (Saucer). The physics is slightly different! Flying Disks are aircraft, unlike a frisbee they have a propultion system. Flying Disk have control systems that either use moving control surfaces like most planes, or thrust vectoring, or in some cases a combination of the two. If an aircraft goes into a flat spin(spinning without pitching up or down), It is out of control and about to crash.

If these incredible aircraft exist, why aren't they used around the world to serve US interests? 700 lives could have been saved in Iraq (and thousands of Iraqis). The answer is simple: they don't exist.
Lockheed does hold the patents on disc-shaped passenger aicraft

Incidentally the red line denotes the centre of balance in forward motion for the purposes of film records of the test flights, it made it easier to judge exactly how unstable the thing was from analysing footage of it flying over a line marked on the ground and measuring the variance (in rotation rather than direction). Maybe the red lines do indicate what you said on other aircraft but not in this case.

dude the USAF isnt responsible for EVERY UFO sighting in the world most likely its that countries secret projects not the USAF u gota get off your american propaganda stuff man.

3rd world countries don't have flying triangles that make no sound.

When did I say all UFO sightings all I said was the triangle ones, the discs those are beyond me im just talking about aurora and the triangle aircraft. Also some of these triangle sightings are reported over 3rd world countries and I can tell you 3rd world countries don't have flying triangles that make no sound.

no to reach high speeds a disc shaped object needs to spin to maintain stability.
the laws are the same with a frisbee since both are similar. thats what caused the avro car to fail. it needed to spin but you cant fly a thing well spinning can you. your thinking about a normal aircraft where its linear motion not circular motion like in a disc shaped craft.
also yes that is an avro car but wheres the cockpit by the way? all the avro cars had cockpits so umm wheres the one on that?

Hey thanks! I've just learned something new. If a flying saucer spins, then the control laws that it uses must be very different from what I thought they were. How do the controls work then? Also, how can a pilot function inside a spinning craft without getting dizzy and disoriented? Is the X-22A even a manned aircraft?
I no expert on flying Disks, I thought they worked like a flying wing. I based my Ideas on how the B-2 works. Since they are different, I'm back to square one. Tell me some more, I'd love to learn.

See devil there you go putting words in my mouth again! I'm sure Britain has its own programs they don't have to be about flying triangles plus where are you getting this USA rules things? Also i asked if Titus had any proof or any REASON to speculate about this im not asking people to go out and bring me back the top secret plane I said a reason that can vary from pics of the object flying over other countries bases or around their bases that's all.

Yeah west point the USAF is flying missions over britain to test our radar in case we go to war with each other ........FOR CRYING OUT LOUD GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF UR A$$ and think. the RAF has its own projects you or i dont know about and probably never know about. so dont go claiming your USA rules all bulls**** (sorry to all amerians i know u have a good country and military but i had to make a point.)also how do u you know that the USAF is the only one with triangle planes huh? PROOF SHOW ME PROOF!

If you do you own research you will even find that some RAF pilots were involved with the F-117 Night Hawk already in the mid 1980's. In Fact some of the F-117 missions flown in the 1991 Gulf War, were flown by RAF Pilots.

First I have ever heard of that. Do you have any proof to back up that claim?
As I understood it no foregin pilots were allowed to fly the stealth until after the Gulf War, let alone to fly it into combat.

You have got to be kidding me, EVERY aircraft I have ever flown or seen, or more properly ALL modern aircraft have instruments that would easily document that information right on the panel....And as to "maybe the lines do indicate what I said on other aircraft...blah blah blah"...
try google.
