UFO that is actually IFO


Once again Floridians reign supreme! Subrata Roy of the University of Florida has constructed one sweet UFO.... but it's actually an IFO because it's identifiable (ha! get it?!). This thing apparently runs on plasma and is kind of like an aircraft, a helicopter, and (the best part) a saucer all in one.
Roy applied his experience doing U.S. Air Force-funded plasma research to develop the propulsion system devoid of typical aircraft parts such as propellers and engines.Here is how it works: Electrodes lining the vehicle’s surface ionize the surrounding air. This creates plasma on the vehicle’s exterior. An electrical current sent through this plasma generates a force that not only produces the necessary lift and momentum. It also stabilizes the vehicle in windy conditions.

And here's an added bonus of this awesome video of pre-Subrata Roy UFO's.... and I must say that they are nowhere near as exciting, but they are very amusing, so I guess they get a gold star for that. Full Article: http://www.livescience.com/technology/080612-plasma-saucer.html
