if they rotated the potential of the black hole, keeping the higher potential always ahead of the previous unit as with chasing led displays, say, on those black and white panels on the bottom, that would spin the saucer, and also reach unbelievable speeds, you wouldnt need to exceed the gravity well of a mass of a solar system to be able to move thru one, or even between solar systems, you could tighten the field around the ship, and drill your way thru the gravity wells, with little mass, or feild strength and still skip like a stone thru the stars.

That's a pretty cool theory Jim. In my storylines, the aliens utilize a micro black hole or quantuum singularity as the center of their power and propulsion system. When the craft disintergrates, the singularity implodes taking most of the spacecraft with it. It keeps the alien technology a mystery. *grin*
Of course I had to find a way around that problem when I had SHADO capture a UFO intact in a later story.
Science fiction is so much fun!
