In the issue of September 6, 1952 the Italian weekly "Tempo" published the first of a four-part article devoted to the German secret weapons of World War II and signed by the Italian journalist Luigi Romersa (who already wrote an article in 1947 about an alleged atomic test ran by German on the Baltic coast).
An additional article from a given Jacques Alain was published as an introduction. Actually it was nearly the same article published the earlier June by the French daily "France Soir" about the claims of Richard Miethe on his fantastic V-7. Such a "new" article was originally published in the French magazine "La Marche du Monde", together with one picture of the alleged Miethe disc. More or less the same article was then reprinted on the French weekly "C'est la Vie" of August 7, 1952, where a second picture was presented. It is very likely this is the ultimate source of "Tempo" magazine, which set of three pictures was introduced as the visual proof of the German saucers flight-tested over the Baltic sea on April 17, 1944.
Besides the original low printing quality, the pictures look quite blurred and no detail is clearly visible. There is a strong feeling these pictures could be post-1947 "flying saucer" photographs used as purported proofs of a possible journalist scoop.
