also i doubt this thing is possible just cause of the physics of it.
i mean its just too dificult ot produce an mantian and FLY.

The problem is the fact that you're thinking about this from a traditional aerodynamic view. If this thing is anti-grav, all current aero knowledge goes out the window.

Is anyone aware the Tesla claimed to be in contact with aliens??

no the basics still exsist like airflow, when the air is flowing over the craft it affects it. now on a disc its impossible for it even with anti grav propilsion,its really unstable and well is far too unstable to pilot.

Wrong. If you for instance, could create a gravity field just say for instance, 10 mete3rs ahead of the craft, that is hrmmm, 20 times the gravity of earth, the air would be affected by the gravity also, So the air would rush to that spot also, the air in front of the aircraft between the aircraft and the gravity field would basically be going in the same direction as the craft.

It woul dbe like you aren't moving against the air at all...

yeah well that would requier a very powerful energy source on the craft.
hmm yeah well it IS possbile. but it would also suck the craft their and anything near it. hmm. interesting idea though.
one thing though how is it gona land or fire ?

To land, simply hover very close to the ground and shut off the gravity field. To fire, I don't know, but I suspect energy weapons (especially a laser) would be perfect because they are very resistant to gravity.

still it would have to be massive to carry a powersource of a laser.

Not at all. There is going to be a laser on the JSF which only has one engine, so I would assume a nuclear powered Flying disc (or one with a more exotic energy source) would also be able to power a laser.
