The U.S. military pulled the funding plug on AV Roe's development of those saucers at the same time as they shit-canned the Avro Arrow.

Avro actually had plans for a supersonic saucer that could go up into the atmosphere (not just hover like the ones in the video) - but a prototype was never built before the funding evaporated.

It's been long rumoured that many of Avro's best Canadian developers and engineers ended up down at Groom Lake and Area 51 to continue work they started in Toronto - right around the time of the alleged Roswell UFO crash.
