Wild claims have suggested King Charles III allegedly flew a "UFO craft" which saw the at-the-time Prince of Wales "save lives" after a disastrous "Tesla coil" implosion.

The King of England had allegedly been part of Project Scorpio, according to a former colleague, who worked as a diver alongside the monarch at Sandy Point in Canada.

Now, it is bizarrely claimed an unidentified flying object, allegedly piloted by then Prince Charles in the 70s, saw the head of the Royal Family save the lives of some researchers after a successful retrieval mission.

Piloting the Sikorsky prototype rotary craft proved dangerous following an electrical failure, which is said to have been caused by the Tesla coils it was powered by.

...

"King Charles and his 845 Squadron Air Crew extracted the prototype Sikorsky after the original engineers had been drowned thus murdered by the vandals and terrorists."

The diver added: "The uncontrolled event would have caused mass death of tens of thousands across three counties of people: Shelburne, Queen's and Lunenburg.

Quick actions from the at-the-time Prince meant "tens of thousands" of lives were saved by the Royal Navy, while NubTV aired the unconfirmed allegations of King Charles piloting an unidentified aircraft.

...

Although it sounds like a plot Force 10 From Navarone would delight in detailing, the diver was dead serious when he claimed the King had navigated through an electric storm and saved lives.

...

NubTV is broadcast Tuesdays 9pm to 10pm on Ayozat TV, Channel 186 on Sky

I was all for dismissing it as nonsense until I realised it was printed in that cornerstone of factual reporting, the Daily Star. Not quite as trustworthy as the Sunday Sport, but I trust their impeccable fact checking and guess it'll be in the Sunday Sport next week anyway.

"The Daily Star: staying one step ahead of the Daily Sport - we report nonsense other people have made up."
