Who told you this info, because it is BS.
The Germans developed flying saucer aircraft near the end of WWII and they were secret projects. The main engineer/scientist responsible was Andreas
Epp, who ended up in Soviet hands after the war was over (just like how rocket scientist von Braun was captured by Americans).
The Germans had a prototype fleet of these aircraft and they were testing them around the Swiss Alps. When it was apparent that the war was lost, the
SS destroyed the fleet with explosives right on the runway in front of the very scientists who made them, and the Soviets overran the facility soon
after.
It's not hard to imagine that the Soviets continued the flying saucer project post-WWII, considering the first official flying saucer sighting was in
1947 Washington and it went on from there. An interesting note is the "Battle of Los Angeles", which was an actual and well documented event when
UFOs were flying over the city in 1942 and were countered (but not hit) by anti-air guns.
I'm not a scientist but I will say the most common explaination of how flying saucers are powered, specifically these types of drones:
There is a certain type of wire that, when conducting a certain voltage of power through it, will gravitate. There was a show on discovery channel
awhile back that had a scientist demonstrating this effect when he coiled a wire and hooked it up to a battery (or wall socket maybe, can't
remember), and he believes that in large quantity, this coiled wire could moved some of these flying saucers around.
Personally I think anyone who believes flying saucers are alien in nature to be idiots who can't use common sense. Flying saucers are plausible and
the Nazis had the technology and initiative to create them in WWII, which they factually did. Everyone is still obsessed with this alien crap though
and the truth is still out there.
