The First modern UFO sightings began in Germany towards the end of the 2nd World War. Allied pilots on bombing raids over Germany would report seeing all kinds of weird and wonderful aircraft in the skies over Germany. these sightings terrified them.

Yes, Germany certainly had all sorts of at the time interesting aircraft designs (first fighter with jet engines, for example), but they were obsolete decades ago. UFO sightings have been known for all of recorded history.

Coupled with these sightings were the reports that the Germans were on the verge of some technological breakthroughs which could turn the war in their favour. Once Germany was overran at the end of the war. The first thing the US army did was head to German military installations to get a hold of this esoteric technology.

Again, yes, they had some interesting development programmes, but no actual results. The one that's most commonly repeated is their nuclear program, which could have succeeded, except their only source of heavy water was sabotaged by the British and Norwegians, but opinions vary as to how far they had actually come even before then.
If the US can't make energy weapons reliable and economical TODAY, Germany did not 65 years ago. This was not helped by the fact that the Nazi party's campaign against intellectuals and Jews caused a huge brain drain as many educated people escaped to the UK and US. By the middle stages of the war, the technological advantage had been all but lost to the UK and even Russia, the only marginally successful technology that was not successfully reproduced was the V2 rocket.

Shortly afterwards, the same strange aircraft that had been seen over Germany were now being seen in the skies over the United States, and these UFO sightings have not stopped since. The US government still will not tell the world what they found in the ruins of Germany after the war. It is still being suppressed.

People see what they want to. An interesting correlation is how the 'UFOs' of the 50s and 60s were the 'flying saucer'-type, as was most commonly shown in scifi of the time. In the 70s, this moved towards the type that is still predominant today, the 'black triangle', as fictional portrayals also changed.
