Now, as a landholder and a husband, I am tied here, and of course, my earlier days with the ladiesare, if not over, severely restricted. I mean, one cannot eat filets every night. A bit of pork or some nice fishis a good variation from time to time.I must say that Bunny is a rare jewel and I am very fond of her <strong>in</strong>deed but.....enough daydream<strong>in</strong>g. She loves this place and is <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g her horse hold<strong>in</strong>gs. I am beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to take brief rides withher more and more and am learn<strong>in</strong>g to perhaps enjoy them. I have never been out solo but that will come, Iam sure.Thursday, 16 November 1950A large Thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g feast this year. Bunny wants to <strong>in</strong>vite her family and there is my staff so wewill have a very large assemblage here soon enough. <strong>The</strong>re will be three turkeys this time not to mention ahalf-dozen m<strong>in</strong>ce and pumpk<strong>in</strong> pies and so on. Klaus will br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> help aga<strong>in</strong>.<strong>The</strong> Republicans, now with greater political control, are, to use a Bunny expression, gett<strong>in</strong>g the bit<strong>in</strong> their teeth and go<strong>in</strong>g off on their own. <strong>The</strong>y are on the one hand condemn<strong>in</strong>g McCarthy, but much moresubdued than before, and others are aris<strong>in</strong>g to demand fuller <strong>in</strong>vestigations of the State Department and soon. I talked to McCarthy the other day (he is most certa<strong>in</strong>ly not com<strong>in</strong>g down here) about his be<strong>in</strong>g moreaccurate. I quite frankly told him that he now had rivals and if he didn’t take more care <strong>in</strong> what he wasdo<strong>in</strong>g, I would f<strong>in</strong>d other outlets for my <strong>in</strong>formation.<strong>The</strong>y have also been talk<strong>in</strong>g with him at Georgetown and I th<strong>in</strong>k the message is beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to getthrough.Monday, 20 November 1950I have had a stunn<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess tip from a friend at the Pentagon today and will act on it as soon asI can. <strong>The</strong>re is a company, AVRO, which is manufactur<strong>in</strong>g a so-called “fly<strong>in</strong>g disk” which is based entirelyon research we did <strong>in</strong> Germany dur<strong>in</strong>g the war. I had heard of this at the time. <strong>The</strong>se craft are circular andup to 75 meters <strong>in</strong> diameter and capable of extraord<strong>in</strong>ary speeds at high altitude.<strong>The</strong>re has been test<strong>in</strong>g of these at various places and I was told that pilots of commercial andprivate aircraft have seen them while <strong>in</strong> the air. <strong>The</strong>y call them the “Fly<strong>in</strong>g Saucers” and it is all quitesecret. <strong>The</strong> speed is tremendous, preclud<strong>in</strong>g them be<strong>in</strong>g shot down but the range is not exceptional. Verygood for battlefield reconnaissance. <strong>The</strong>y can’t carry bombs and move too fast for conventional armamentsto be effective either on them or aga<strong>in</strong>st them.I take some pride <strong>in</strong> the fact that this was a German <strong>in</strong>vention. I will have to rummage around <strong>in</strong>my papers and see what I can locate on the genesis of this project so that I can sound important at abrief<strong>in</strong>g should the subject arise.<strong>The</strong>re is one <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g note about this fly<strong>in</strong>g disk. A number have been seen by many observerswho are not American <strong>in</strong> orig<strong>in</strong> and of course it was assumed they might be Russian. Viktor tells me that,no, they are not Russian and that subject is one he has been asked to <strong>in</strong>vestigate. In fact, it was he who toldme about this.AVRO stands for A.V. Roe & Co. and the disks are be<strong>in</strong>g made here and <strong>in</strong> Canada. I will look<strong>in</strong>to their stock today and see what is what. I suggested to Viktor that we could both buy stock and hethought it was an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g concept for him to engage <strong>in</strong> capitalistic pursuits but he is more than will<strong>in</strong>g toget <strong>in</strong>to it with me.<strong>The</strong> mention of the famous Fly<strong>in</strong>g Saucers here is only the first of a series of comments made byMüller on the subject that has fasc<strong>in</strong>ated the world s<strong>in</strong>ce the end of the Second World War. <strong>The</strong> Germansdid <strong>in</strong>vent such a craft and it was successfully flown <strong>in</strong> Germany <strong>in</strong> the last months of the war. Of the threemajor eng<strong>in</strong>eers on the project, two were taken over by the Americans and one by the Russians. Most of thework<strong>in</strong>g draw<strong>in</strong>gs fell <strong>in</strong>to American hands but the Soviets also ga<strong>in</strong>ed considerable technical <strong>in</strong>formationfrom captured German sources.<strong>The</strong>se most unconventional aircraft were certa<strong>in</strong>ly <strong>in</strong> U.S. service and have been photographed onthe ground and <strong>in</strong> the air. At least one of these craft was stored at the U.S. Naval Air Station at MoffettField, Mounta<strong>in</strong> View, California <strong>in</strong> the early 1960s where it was be<strong>in</strong>g reworked.While there is no doubt that these craft were built, their cont<strong>in</strong>ued use ceased soon after theconflict was over. Very careful and extensive searches <strong>in</strong> former Soviet archives have disclosed no<strong>in</strong>formation that would <strong>in</strong>dicate that Russia ever built or operated such unconventional aircraft.However, many sight<strong>in</strong>gs of these objects both before, dur<strong>in</strong>g and after the Korean conflict, arestill officially classified and many could not possibly be connected with the AVRO projects.
