The saucer is powered by eight engines and can reach speeds of over 50mph as it moves gracefully through the air.

The bizarre flying pod, which is the size of a small car, is even able to land on skyscrapers - should the need arise.

Amazing: The flying saucer which can travel at speeds of up to 50 mph

It can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter, but it is almost noise-free and has been described by passengers as being "like a magic carpet ride."

US company Moller International has begun manufacturing the flying saucer and says it has completed more than 200 successful test flights.

The firm is so confident in its flying ability that it says it welcomes "potential military and/or para-military applications" and also thinks the saucer could be used for border patrol.

Company founder Dr Paul Moller calls the craft "the ultimate off-road vehicle" as it is able to travel over any surface.

"It's not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy," he added.

"You can speed over rocks, swampland, fences, or log-infested waterways with ease because you're not limited by the surface."

The flying saucer is designed to fly at an altitude of up to about ten metres, where it benefits from extra lift created by a cushion of air - known as ground effect.
