Nazi UFOs (German:Rundflugzeug,Diskus,Haunebu,Hauneburg-Geräte,Flugkreisel or ironically Reichsflugscheiben) refers to claims about advanced aircraft or spacecraft Nazi Germany supposedly developed during World War II and which Nazi scientists continued to develop afterwards. References to such craft appear mostly in fiction, although some of these claims are said to be true (see "Early Claims" section).
These stories are often associated with esoteric Nazism, an ideology that supposes the possibility of Nazi restoration by supernatural or paranormal means.
These myths were likely inspired by historical German development of jet aircraft such as the Me 262, the guided missile V1 and the ballistic missile V2, which formed a basis for the early missile and space programs of both the Soviet Union and the United States.
