"But persistent and fairly credible rumors recur that a Canadian aircraft
manufacturer, A. V. Roe, Canada, Ltd., has had a Supersonic Saucer design under
development for two years. One report has it that the project was abandoned by
the Canadian government because it would cost over $75 million to get a
prototype flying model into the air. The A. V. Roe people maintain a confusing
silence about the whole thing. They canít deny the project has been abandoned
because they never announced it had begun. Our own Air Force offers ěno
comment."
