The NASM (National Air and Space Museum) is a Smithsonian Institute museum dedicated to the history and technology of aviation and spaceflight, one of whose locations is the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, near Dulles Airport. It’s a place that will delight any enthusiast who visits, offering the chance to discover fascinating artifacts like the original prototype of the Horten Ho 229, an advanced jet-powered fighter-bomber built by Nazi Germany in the final stages of World War II. Though it never saw action, it is believed to have potentially inspired the first documented UFO sightings in 1947.
