1972 - John Searle the man who built his own U.FO.: For the past 26 years, John Searle a 47 year-old former electrical fitter from Reading in Beckshire, has had the dream of an ambition to build his own flying saucer. Now he is only a matter of months away from realizing his ambition, following a series of experiments with proto-types powered by magnetic forces stored within a gyro-wheel or fly-wheel placed within a generator. John's experiments have shown that magnetism acts at times without calculation in creating power that cannot be explained, it is this power that John Searl has been work

1972 - John Searle the man who built his own U.FO.: For the past 26 years, John Searle a 47 year-old former electrical fitter from Reading in Beckshire, has had the dream of an ambition to build his own flying saucer. Now he is only a matter of months away from realizing his ambition, following a series of experiments with proto-types powered by magnetic forces stored within a gyro-wheel or fly-wheel placed within a generator. John's experiments have shown that magnetism acts at times without calculation in creating power that cannot be explained, it is this power that John Searl has been working on to channel into a means of control. Now that John has almost completed his experiments, he can now forward to his greatest achievement of all, a massive 2, 000 seater flying saucer or levity disc as named by John. It will be capable of flying up to 24, 000mph and span in diameter 1, 000ft: a kind of Noah's Ark. Photo shows John Searle with one of the proto-type's that has been experimenting with.
