    Oh, yeah! It looks like something out of a Japanese anim. Does it transform into a toaster-bomb-nightlight-toothbrush?

    Well, the pictures are interesting, but the story seems very inaccurate.<br /><br />The planes in the first picture and the last picture are completely different planes, and the specifications listed are certainly not from any pictured.<br /><br />The second to last picture - showing it in the air is definitely a composite fake. Even without the UFO you would be able to figure it out. The plane looks much like a model in this picture.<br /><br />The pictures of it on the ground look pretty interesting though.<br /><br />What do you think the tailwheel is for, why was it left on?<br /><br />

    OK, duh.<br /><br />It looke like a model in all the pictures once you enlarge them.<br /><br />Cool model though - they should make it an RC model.

    The last Photo is a REAL aircraft. The Germans also had an engine-less version of this same plane that they towed aloft with multiple Junkers Cargo planes but that proved to be a bit too sporty so they hung engines on it instead.

    Yup, the Me 321 'Silent Giant'. Heard that once but don't think it was an official name.<br /><br />https://<a href="http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/models/aircraft/Messerschmitt-Me321.html">www.fiddlersgreen.net/models/aircraft/Messerschmitt-Me321.ht<br>ml</a>

    The first picture was an aircraft. The next, the bigger aircraft were mocked up for a film. (Read it on Pprune) Some Soviet thing. The M321 was a glider ordered so it could carry a tank but getting it, loaded, into the air was found to be impractical. I seem to remember a film somewhere of the nose doors being opened and a tank being loaded.
