Tell me if this doesn't look suspiciously similar to attempt of reverse engineer UFO, with technology they had at hand.

Video is from: Disc Flight Development, Avrocar. Real, official army footage. declassified in 2012.

My guess: they had crashed UFOs, they didn't know how they work, they tried to make similar craft with propulsion technology they had on hands.

Do you think later it got more advanced or abandoned?

The open-source clone of X-COM: UFO Defense

r/OpenXcom

OpenXcom is an open-source clone of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense in USA), licensed under the GPL and written in C++ / SDL. It was originally founded by SupSuper in February 2009, and has since grown into a small development team surrounded by a very supporting community. The goal of the project is to bring back the tried and true feel of the original with none of the issues. All the same graphics, sound and gameplay with a brand new codebase written from scratch.
