THE SAGA UFO REPORT for October 1977, carried an article entitled "UFO Crisis over Greenland" by Rufus Drake. A sighting report in the article tells of an encounter near Thule. A B-17 bomber being ferried to England in 1942 encountered "incandescent flying objects" thought to be from a German aircraft carrier....of course, there were no German aircraft carriers. I have a book about British and Canadian ferry operations during World War II. No mention is made of Thule. Does anyone know when the base there became operational? The Germans did indeed have an aircraft carrier which the Soviets towed off after World War II ended. In 1950 a newspaper in Berlin claimed that the Soviets were using the refloated and refitted aircraft carrier to launch missiles over Sweden. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the old Graf Zeppelin aircraft carrier in 1950? Was it indeed in the Soviet fleet? A report to US or Allied intelligence about aircraft operating from a possible German aircraft carrier in 1942 would have probably caused a sensation. Has anyone seen anything like this in naval or aviation histories? I would like to track down this very interest report. Jan Aldrich Project 1947
