Saucers secret: Antigravity
This is an article that appeared in a magazine called `Flying Saucers' that was written in 1967 by Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe.
SAUCERS SECRET: ANTIGRAVITY
Editor's Note: Major Keyhoe has been writing about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's) for over 15 years.
[written in 1967.Vangard]
From the outset he has insisted that flying saucers are real and interplanetary, and many authorities have come to agree with him.
Now he claims that control over gravity itself is the only explanation for the astounding maneuvers which saucers are said to make.
Some physicists dismiss this theory as fundamentally erroneous. But, as you will read, there are others who find Major Keyhoe's latest chapter in "The Great Flying Saucer Story" important and plausible.
What goes up (and around ) does not necessarily have to come down. Major Keyhoe maintains `Not known fields of force' allow saucers to behave peculiarly: To hover motionlessly, turn on a dime, and accelerate at fantastic speeds. And only a crash `G' program on our part can counteract it.By Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe
One night last February, over the North Pacific, a Flying Tiger Airlines crew had a startling aerial encounter. What they saw is a clue to a fantastic technical mystery. In its solution lies a prize so great that six government agencies are searching for it right now. The answer may not be far off. What they are searching for is the secret of gravity control.
About midnight on February 15, the Flying Tiger plane, carrying a military group from the U.S. to Japan, was four hours out of Anchorage. Suddenly the cockpit radar picked up three fast- moving objects. The plane captain and his crew looked out at the side and saw three huge oval-shaped ships, glowing red in the night.
An Air Force captain who was a passenger on the plane was called forward to confirm the sighting. His signed report is in the files of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena.
According to the captain's report, the unknown machines slowed down to the airliner's speed and flew in close formation. Five miles away, by radar range, they leveled off to pace the plane.
The Air Force captain computed their length as much more than 700 feet. It was plain that the giant Unidentified Flying Objects had an unknown type of propulsion. No jets, no exhausts were visible. For 30 minutes, still in formation, they continued to pace the plane. Then, swiftly accelerating to 1,200 knots, they climbed out of sight in seconds.
This startlingly swift acceleration is a maneuver that could not be duplicated by any ship now made on Earth. What makes it possible for UFO's? According to many scientists and engineers, there is only one possible answer. The answer is ANTIGRAVITY: artificial gravity fields and control of gravity power.
Control of gravity is something that men have been dreaming about for centuries. Now it appears that we are on the threshold of achieving it. Its value, to the country that first attains it, is incalculable. Our government, hoping for a technical breakthrough, has set up 46 different research projects on various aspects of gravity control. The Air Force is running 33 of these projects and the others are divided among five other agencies.
Included in the 46 government projects are experiments and research at two Air Force Laboratories (Flight Dynamics and General Physics Research), Radio Corporation of America, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several technical engineering centers. In addition, official projects are being carried out at Barkley and Dexter Laboratories, Fitchburg, Massachusetts; Israel Institute of Technology; the Universities of California, Denver, Harvard, Indiana, Manchester (England), Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Purdue, Stockholm (Sweden), Syracuse, Texas, and two New York schools - Queens College and Yeshiva Graduate School of Science.
And, of course, some government agencies have projects so secret that they are not publicly registered and cannot be revealed without permission.
Private industry is also looking at the question of gravity control with new seriousness. A large number of giant corporations, including Bell Aerospace, General Electric, Hughes Aircraft, Boeing, Douglas and many others, have set up gravity projects.
If you add up all the known gravity programs being run by the government and private industry, you get somewhere between 65 and 70 projects. This means there is a heavy concentration of scientific and engineering brains working on the problem.
One leading scientist who is convinced that UFO's are spaceships using gravity control is Dr. Hermann Oberth. Doctor Oberth, a recognized authority, was co-designer of the V-2 rocket and later a U.S. special consultant at Huntsville, Alabama, one of the installations where important antigravity research is now underway.
"With ordinary propulsion,"
Doctor Oberth told me in 1961,
"such violent accelerations and maneuvers would endanger the ship. Also, the force would crush any creatures aboard against the rear or sides of the machine. But with an artificial gravity field the force applies simultaneously to the passengers and the spaceship. Even in swift changes of speed and direction, the ship is not strained and the passengers feel nothing."
Today, Doctor Oberth is willing to go further. He is now of the opinion
"that energy, inertia and gravitational fields are only aspects of one and the same thing" and that it will prove impossible to separate them from each other. What he has in mind,
he says, is "not yet known fields of force" which can be used to accelerate material objects in a way similar to the force of gravity.
Another noted authority who agrees that UFO's are using artificial G fields is William P. Lear, Sr. multimillionaire inventor, pilot, designer of air and space equipment and builder of jet aircraft. Lear, who once sighted a UFO from his executive plane, predicts that future U.S. vehicles will also use artificial gravity.
"The people on board would probably not feel any more effect,"
Lear says,
"than they do from the tremendous speed of the Earth as it rotates and orbits the sun."
Several years ago, Glenn Martin's vice-president for advanced design, G.S. Trimble, predicted that by 1985 practically all airliners would be using artificial gravity, flying at almost unbelievable speeds. At about the same time, future airliner speeds of 10,000 mph or more were pictured by Dr. Walter Dornberger, then Bell Aircraft's chief guided-missile scientist and now president of Bell aerospace.
Grover Loening, pioneer aircraft builder and consultant to the Air Force, said it even more strongly.
"I firmly believe that before long man will acquire the ability to build an electromagnetic contragravity mechanism that works,"
he stated.
A top official of Bethlehem Steel, Jesse V. Honeycutt, has indicated some of the results we can expect if Loening is right.
"Serious research is being concentrated on in an attempt to solve the mystery of gravity and bring about a control of its power.... It would bring about a greater revolution in power, transportation and many other fields than the discovery of atomic power,"
he stated.
Antigravity? It seems inconceivable. Yet, the search goes on and many responsible men believe the answer will be found. And, to my mind, it is the only possible explanation for the performance of the UFO'S.
The stakes are so high that no clue can be overlooked. The Air Force Technical Intelligence, hunting for overlooked leads, is carefully checking hundreds of verified UFO reports. Hopefully, some of them will help us find out how these strange vehicles operate.
Four days before Christmas, 1964, a round, metallic craft about 125 feet in diameter was observed to make a brief landing in a field near Staunton, Virginia. Two Du Pont scientists later took Geiger counters to the site.
"It was `hot'- highly radioactive,"
Du Pont engineer Lawrence Cook reported.
"We checked for 45 minutes-it was definitely `hot.'"
In Puerto Rico, near dusk on December 26, 1964, Ramey Air Force Base radar spotted two large discs. As A4D jets streaked up to pursue them, the discs accelerated to terrific speed. Making instant right-angle turns-impossible for any known aircraft-they vanished over the Atlantic.
On March 21, 1965, Capt. Yoshiaki Inada, piloting a Toa Airlines Convair on a domestic Japanese flight, was chased by a "mysterious, elliptical luminous object." Flying close to the plane, the UFO blanked out his radio and "violently interferred" with his automatic direction finding equipment.
Puzzling earlier cases also are being rechecked. On July 1, 1954, an AF F-94 - a two-man jet-was scrambled to chase a UFO near Walesville, New York. When the pilot tried to close in, a sudden, unbearable heat filled the cockpit. Half-dazed the pilot and radar officer bailed out. The jet crashed in the street, killing two children and their parents.
These odd phenomena, high radiation, mysterious heat and electrical interference may be side effects of gravity control devices.
Like most people, you probably took gravity for granted before space flights began. Now you know, for example, that one "G" is the Earth's normal gravitational pull. This is what holds you to the seat of your chair-and more importantly, keeps you from being tossed into the air by the Earth's rotation. You feel two or three G's in a roller coaster or a stunting plane-a mere hint of what our astronauts have to endure during blast-off and acceleration.
But gravity causes a lot of trouble and expense we seldom think about. Aircraft and rocket builders have to provide heavy engines, huge weights of fuel, just to offset gravity. In construction of buildings, bridges, and in a hundred other ways, G affects our lives and adds billions to the cost of work.
Gravity control could reduce or end many of these problems.
How soon can we expect antigravity ?
Some researchers say it may take a long time. Others believe there may be a sudden breakthrough. If that happens, there will be some fantastic results.
First, obviously, our space program would take a big leap forward. Instead of our present wasteful rockets, we could build spaceships matching the UFOs' high speeds and maneuvers. With such advanced ships, we could make swift flights to the moon and the planets.
Recently, Alexander de Seversky stated that
"with abundant energy available, we will move in space with constant acceleration or deceleration. Accelerating halfway to our goal and decelerating the rest of the way at one G or 32.2 feet per second, the moon will be reached in three and a half hours, Venus in 36 hours, Mars in two days, Jupiter in six."
According to Oberth, German physicist Burkhard Heim and other scientists, gravity control will enable spaceships to reach even greater speeds than these. With such advanced machines, we could explore the nearest star systems a century or more ahead of our present timetable.
Using carrier or "parent" ships with short-range probes, we could fully explore a planet - either by remote control or direct observation - before attempting to land. Many cases are on record in which large UFO's have lunched small units, apparently for close observation of the Earth, then retrieved them in swift, precise operations.
In one such case (an official AF Intelligence report), groups of small UFO's flying at 5240 mph. were seen and tracked by the crew of an AF B-29. One group, after abruptly slowing to pace the bomber, resumed its speed within seconds. The small UFO's were then seen to merge with or go aboard a huge carrier which accelerated to more than 9,000 mph before it disappeared.
Because of G-crafts' tremendous speeds, the picture of possible military operations becomes hair-raising. Let's take as a basis the figure in a documented case at White Sands Proving Ground, where Navy scientists saw and tracked a UFO flying at 18,000 mph.
Such terrific speeds could put bombers back into the picture in place of missiles. Attacks by G-bombers from base near major targets would take less than five minutes. If a "brush-fire" war broke out halfway around the world, a huge G-transport carrying a fully armed division or even an army could be on the scene in 40 minutes, or less.
Another effect of gravity control will be a big change in air travel. Here's what a G-liner trip would be like, according to several researchers. Let's say you are making a making a flight from New York to London. Your seat has no safety belts - none are needed. The ship takes off vertically, accelerating at incredible speed. You feel weightless but you feel no motion.
The airliner arcs up into a great circle course, silently, with no "bumps" - no rough air. In 10 to 15 minutes, London suddenly takes shape below. There is no long approach, skimming over rooftops. You descend vertically and land. If traffic is heavy, your pilot would stop the ship in midair and hover until cleared.
In spite of the speed, you'd be safer - especially in regard to many of the strange eddies which have thrown jet airliners into uncontrollable dives.
In probing the riddle of gravity, project scientists try widely different approaches - some even contrary to accepted natural laws.
[Does the following experiment sound familiar???....Vangard]
Under an Army contract, a University of Detroit team has built a 4,000-pound, specially wired rotor which spins at 100,000 rpm. With this unique device, scientists are testing gravitational radiation theories searching for a possible key to G control.
Using gravity meters based on new principles of physics Air Force teams make frequent flights around the equator and over the poles, to speed up world wide measurement of the Earth's gravitational pull. Tied in with this is a network of gravity stations and special projects all over the world.
Though no breakthrough has occurred (unless in highly secret projects) two significant facts have been established.
- The Earth's G field is relatively weak, compared with the pull of gravity between planets and the sun.
- There is a connection between gravity and electromagnetic fields.
Igor Sikorsky, discussing the colossal force of spatial G, says a steel cable about 8,000 miles thick would be needed to hold the Earth in its orbit - if it were not for gravity.
But, fortunately for our anti-G search, the Earth's gravity pull, for objects on the ground or at average flight altitudes, is fairly small. Likewise, the force required to cancel its pull would be relatively small - if a method can be found.
Using various barriers we can shield ourselves from heat, light and sound waves. But, so far, no way has been found to create a gravity shield. Some scientists still call the gravity shield idea a "lunatic fringe" notion. But many now refuse to say that such a thing is completely impossible.
Are UFO's using a gravity shield ? In an effort to find out, the Air Force is renewing its attempts to capture a UFO. If we could get one on the ground, undamaged, it might make possible a big shortcut in our gravity research and save us years of slow, tedious scientific work.
[As many of our user have heard, this capture of one or more UFO's is said to have done, refer reports by John Lear and the physicist Lazar......Vangard]
In the past, many Air Force pilots have tried to down UFO's, without success. But the Air Force has new reason for hope now, based on the recent increase on low-altitude UFO approaches and "touch landings."
On the night of January 12, 1965, an officer of a federal law enforcement agency had a close encounter. As he was driving his official car toward Blaine Air Force Station, in Washington, a flying disc 30 feet in diameter hurtled down at his automobile. At the last moment the disc arched up steeply, avoiding collision. When the officer jumped out, he saw the UFO hovering overhead. After a minute, it shot up into clouds at high speed. A short time afterward, the UFO or a similar one - was seen landing in a field near Blaine, melting the snow and scorching the ground before it took off. When the AF questioned the federal officer, they said they had tracked the UFO by radar as it raced down toward his car. This officer, like many other UFO witnesses was warned by his superiors not to let his name be used in connection with the sighting.
On January 27, 1965, two NASA engineers sighted a UFO which touch landed near Hampton, Virginia. One witness was Maj. John Nayadley, a retired AF jet pilot. The other was A.G. Crimmins, who saw the strange machine maneuvering toward the ground.
"It was zigzagging as if searching for a landing spot,"
said Crimmins.
"I watched it through 20 x 50 binoculars and I could see flashing lights. They appeared to be on the rim of a rapidly rotating disc."
Before anyone could reach the spot, the flying disc took off and rapidly climbed out of sight.
The step-up in UFO chases was demonstrated at Washington, D.C. on January 11, 1965, when AF jets pursued several flying objects over the city. The chase was confirmed by an Army Lieutenant-Colonel and a group of Army communications specialists.
If jets had been near any of the "touch" sites, they might have swarmed down and kept the UFO from getting away. But records of previous attempts to capture UFO's indicate it will be a tough job.
Whether we capture a UFO or not, the search for the elusive secret will go on. The connection between gravity and electromagnetic fields may provide the key to the mystery.
For several sears, Burkhard Heim, director of the German Research Institute of Field Physics at Goettingen, Germany, has been searching for the answer to the gravity riddle. Finally, Heim revealed that by direct experimentation he had discovered a positive lead to antigravity. The discovery involved an intermediate field, neither electromagnetic nor gravitational.
[Refer to NAZI1.ASC on KeelyNet at 214-324-3501 (see below)]
The results, Heim stated, if applied to space fight, would be direct levitation, conversion of electricity into kinetic energy without any waste, and "immunizing the occupants and the structures of such vehicles against any effects from acceleration of the vehicle, however great and violent."
After the first shock, several scientists examined Heim's claims.
"His approach is not in conflict with known laws of nature, and it agrees with the quantum theory,"
A.R. Weyl said in an analysis for the British magazine, Aeronautics.
"If Heim's theories were right, the amazing properties commonly ascribed to the `mysterious flying saucers' would be, in fact, sound physics and proper engineering."
Through Heim's work toward the goal of an actual antigravity force researchers may discover new scientific laws and their work may invalidate old theories. Some scientists are already saying privately that Einstein's famous "general theory of relativity" may turn out to be totally fallacious. Newton's law has also come
in for attacks. However, Robert Forward, G expert of Hughes Aircraft Company, uses the Einstein theory to show that it is possible to partially nullify the Earth's gravitational field. The amount of nullification obtainable with present-day technology is extremely small, however. Forward predicts that some day, when our technology is greatly advanced, we will be able to "create artificial gravity fields at will."
With a real all-out effort this could happen a lot sooner than the 10 or 20 years many scientists have in mind.
But getting enough top men to work in the field is a problem. One scientist says, "Scientists are sensitive about their reputations and many of them still think antigravity is a joke. If they knew the facts, they'd be eager to get into it."
Fear among scientists is partially due to the Air Force censorship of UFO reports. Air Force censors not only hide the facts but also belittle those who publicly report UFO sightings.
One recent victim was Dempsey Bruton, chief of satellite tracking at NASA's Wallops Island station in Virginia. On January 5, 1965, Bruton saw a strange round object flying at terrific speed toward the station. After it passed overhead, the UFO shot straight up out of sight. Using the elapsed time of six to nine seconds - and angles and times reported by other witnesses, Bruton said the speed was definitely "several thousand miles per hour, possibly 8,000 mph. or even higher." The AF, implying he was incompetent, rejected the report and said it was not evidence of any technically superior machine.
But AF policy notwithstanding, the drive to get the secret of antigravity is well underway. It can't be stopped now. But it can be speeded up. We are already spending billions on the space program on the race to the moon, to Mars. Harnessing gravity could put us years ahead and save us enormous sums of money.
With control of the universe at stake, a crash program is imperative. We produced the A-bomb, under the huge Manhattan Project, in an amazingly short time. The needs, the urgency today are even greater. The Air Force should end UFO secrecy, give the facts to scientists, the public, to Congress. Once the people realize the truth, they would back - even demand - a crash G program.
For this is one race we dare not lose.

NAZI1.ASC: Foo Fighters and the Kugleblitz

additional material by Vangard
We, because of the infinitesimal size of the Universe, can quite easily say that the probability of the Earth being the only planet inhabited by intelligent beings is not logical. However, while there is research going on today in order to prove the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) by listening in on the radio waves of space, I wonder; have we been contacted already? Is there something in the UFO phenomenon that proves the existence of extraterrestrials? Let's look at the facts.
Thousands of people from all around the world report the sightings of strange aerial phenomenon every year. It has been going on for many years, but not as much as from 1947 to present. Due to the fact that so many people have seen objects in the sky that they can't identify, we could at least admit that there is sufficient reason to believe that UFO's exist. We can't scientifically prove their existence just based on that fact but we can't ignore it either. So our next logical step would be to get more data.
Is the origin of all UFO's extraterrestrial? Is there a possibility that at least some may come from Earth and Earth technology? The answer to that question is yes, some are Earth originated. People can easily mistake a plane or helicopter flying at night as a UFO and have already. Some even thought that Venus was one. However, while most UFO's could be explained, there are an astonishing number of reports that cannot. They include reports from people such as police chiefs, scientists, pilots, and most interestingly, astronauts. There is plenty of information publically available that is reputable about details of their encounters.
Our next step should be to concentrate on these unexplainable sightings. Out of these, is it still possible that the objects could come from Earth? Dr. Renato Vesco thought so. In his book "Intercept UFO," he writes about his experience and information with Nazi Germany. I am going to include a paper written by him but first let me tell you his credentials.
Renato Vesco is a fully liscensed aircraft engineer and a specialist in aerospace and ramjet developments. He attended the University of Rome and, before WWII, studied at the German Institute for Aerial Development. During the war, Vesco worked with the Germans at the Fiat Lake Garda secret installations in Italy. In the 1960's, he worked for the Italian Air Ministry of Defense as an undercover technical agent, investigating the UFO mystery.
He writes:
"On November 27, 1944, a B-27 of the United States Air Force, returning from a raid on Speyer, West Germany, encountered a huge, orange colored light moving upward at an estimated speed of 500 MPH. When the pilots reported, sector radar had reported negatively, because nothing had registered on the screen.
But the object seen by the returning bomber was only the first of numerous others spotted by American pilots over wartime Germany and promptly baptized 'foo-fighters.'
Fighter pilots Falls and Backer, of the 415th Squadron, reported such an encounter a month later forcing the Air Force to admit that such objects might exist. Later encounters with foo fighters led experts to assume they were German inventions of a new order employed to baffle radar.
How close they came to the truth, they learned only when the war was over and Allied Intelligence teams moved into the secret Nazi plants. The foo-fighters seen by American pilots were only a minor demonstration, a fraction of a vast variety of methods used to confuse radar and interrupt electro magnetic currents.
Work on the German anti-radar Feurball, or fireball, had been speeded up during the fall of 1944 at a Luftwaffe experimental center near Oberammergau, Bavaria. There, and at the aeronautical establishment at Weiner Neustadt, the first fireballs were produced. Later, when the Russians moved closer to Austria, the workshops producing the fireballs were moved to the Black Forest.
Fast and remote controlled, the fireballs, equipped with klystron tubes operating on the same frequency as Allied radar, which could eliminate the blips from radar screens. This allowed them to remain practically invisible to ground control.
The Nazi Feurball failed to interfere with the Allied air offensive. The foo fighters had been launched too late and could no longer change the course of events, but in themselves they were significant not only because they were the outcome of a technical evolution which could have led to more dangerous weapons, but also because they showed that Nazi technology had moved in a direction far beyond anything expected by Allied Intelligence.
As the fall of Germany approached, the Nazi Leaders reverted to an ambitious project created by Gauleiter Franz Hofer who had become high commissioner for the Italian Tyrol and the Southern Alps. The project foresaw setting up an incredible fortress in the mountains, including parts of Italy, Austria and Bavaria.
Hofer submitted his plan to Hitler's aide, Martin Bormann in November 1944, having prepared for this moment back in 1938 when Nazi agents carefully mapped all mountain passes, caves, bridges, highways, and located sights for underground factories, munitions dumps, arms and food caches. To complete work on this fortress, Hofer demanded a slave labor force of a quarter of a million, to be composed of 70% Austrian workers and 30% men of the Tyrolese home guard.
So-called U-Plants were to be set up underground as gigantic workshops and launching pads for the secret weapons which were to turn the tide of the war in favor of the Nazis.
Among these were some 74 tunnels along Lake Garda, in Northern Italy, which were to be adapted and transformed into a vast assembly plant by FIAT of Turin in close collaboration with the department of Minister Albert Speer. Seven other tunnels along Lake Garda, near Limone, were to produce several weapons tested at the Hermann Goering Institute of Riva del Garda.
According to the archives of the German High Command and of the Allied Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee, other plants in vital areas of Central Germany, code named M-Werke, were to produce powerful missles such as the giant A.9/A.10 destined to destroy New York and Washington. But most important was the Alpine area, for it was from there that the supreme weapons were to come.
This report, never released by the Allies, was made by a French diplomat. It was forwarded to Free French Intelligence Headquarters at Algiers. The top secret report reffered to the blue clouds as something approaching anti-aircraft projectiles based on the grisou (fire damp) gas found in mines, and which had been succesfully tried against other bombers over Lake Garda.
The French report was intercepted by Italian agents and deciphered at SID (Italian Counter-Intelligence) Headquarters at Castiglione della Stiviere. The message was later captured by a military intelligence team operating for the eighth Army in Italy.
The contents of the message was no novelty to the Allies. Already, some time ago, shortly after the bombing of Dresden, British and American intelligence had obtained a brief account concerning the use of some such weapon used against a group of twelve American bombers.
That message, which came from an agent in Switzerland attached to Allen Dulle's team, also stated the attacker had been
"a strange hemispherical object which flew at fantastic speeds and destroyed the bombers without using firearms.'
Then, after the German surrender in May, 1945, a team of British agents, investigating the files of some of the underground factories in the Black Forest, discovered that a large number of documents concerned 'important experiments made with LIQUID OXYGEN for new turbine engines capable of developing extraordinary power.'
Other documents described the use of 'gaseous explosives' which had been originally tested in Austria in 1936. Their existence was later confirmed by the ALSOS Mission and by Dr. Hans Friedrich Gold, of the Laboratory for Aeronautical Research at Volkenrode. The ejection of gas explosives had been part of the program tackled by researchers on Lake Garda and later tested with success by the circular flying object against Allied bombers. This object, in German military files, already had an operational name: 'Round Lightning' (Kugelblitz).
Long and close observation between the special Air Research Corps of the SS, Austrian research centers in Vienna, the Hermann Goering Works and the vast complex of underground G-Works had previously produced amazing improvement on the fireball or foo- fighter which, despite it's anti-radar effectiveness, remained comparatively harmless. But by combining the principle of the aircraft with a round, symmetrical plane with direct gyroscopic stabilization, employing an ejector-gun using grisou and a gelatinous organic/mettalic fuel for a total reaction turbine, adding remote control, vehicle take off, infrared seeking equipment and electrostatic firing systems, the harmless fireball became the lethal Kugelblitz!
Believe me, I can prove what I say (Vesco). The Kugelblitz, to be on the safe side, employed, in addition to it's electrostatic firing system, a similar system based on short waves and built by the Patent Verwertungs Gesselschaft of Salzburg, Austria. The whole thing formed one compact, round mass which had absolutely nothing in common with any flying object ever produced before.
In documents found by British Intelligence teams and submitted to the British Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee - documents which I have been able to study - these and many other details are known. They can be found in the Sub-Committee's Final Report Number 61 on the 'Weapons Section of the L.F.A., Volkenrode.'
Kugelblitz, together with it's "younger brothers of the fireball, lens-shaped bomb and other weapons, began the real history of the UFO's. In itself, it was a second generation fireball.
The 'round lightning' weapon, the incredibly fast and mysterious disk-shaped craft that had been rumored and sighted in action, was used only once. As the Allied forces crossed the Rhine, the only craft of it's type was destroyed by the SS on instructions from Berlin, to prevent it's capture. But ever since, due to the severe censorship imposed by 'T' force of the British Army in Germany, and later, thanks to the complete blackout imposed by London, nothing more was heard of "Round Lightning."
I know that agents of the 'T' force camp at Bad Gandersheim closely examined the documents found in the G-Works, documents which had been elaborated by the technical general staff of the SS and by technical control of the Henshel and Zeppelin works. These documents concern the propulsion unit of the Kugelblitz prototype built by the Kreislaufbetrieb Motor D.W. in 1943 for the F.F.K.F. (Forschungsinstitut for Kraftfhart and Fahzeugmotoren) at Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim and perfected by Professors Kamm and Ernst.
The British called this motor an 'oxygen recycle system.' It was later abandoned in favor of the Walter turbine, powered by hydrogen peroxide. The documents found discussed the possibility of using both systems in a compound-type propulsion unit.
To these basic facts, I must add: A mass of documents and equipment were taken by British 'T' teams to Bedford and then to Canada and Australia.
In a certain sense, the British were more intelligent than the Americans, for they permitted German scientists to complete their work in Germany on the sight where they had worked all through the war - only, of course, under close supervision. This happened at Darmstadt and Goettingen.
Later on, these installations were dismantled and shipped to Britain. The Transport Service of the British Ministry of Aviation discreetly shipped the scientists and documents to Britain, Canada and Australia, in successive phases. Lists of the scientists to be sent overseas had been compiled in the spring of 1944 by the B.I.O.S. and formed separate and specialized teams.
One such team, composed of Professor Ben Lockspeiser and W.J. Richards, Dr. S.H . Hollingdale and Captain A.D. Green, handled 'advanced projects, missles, jet and turbine craft.' Another, including T.A. Taylor and M.A. Wheeler, investigated German advances in the field of Thermo-refraction. Another team, which obtained the services of Dr. Ernst Westermann, former director of the F.D.R.P. Institutes of Speyer and Saarbrucken, concentrated on the fireball projects.
The then Ministry of Aircraft Production, similar to the German wartime Jaegerstab, ceased to exist officially on March 31, 1946, and became part of the Ministry of Supply.
In the years that followed, these teams, and especially the experts headed by Professor Lockspeiser, worked on a multitude of German projects, adapting these to their own experiments in the field of 'suction' wings and on the work of two German scientists during the war, Professors Prandtl and Busemann, to develop a high speed fighter in which the air intake along the wings was discharged through a half-moon-shaped crescent along the fuselage in order to both drive and support the vehicle at high speeds.
This research comes to mind when one remembers the incident of January 3, 1956. A Cessna, employed on a job of aerial photography near Pasadena, encountered three circular flying objects which circled it at a speed of 1600 mph and at a distance of two miles. One of these objects, in suddenly breaking away from the formation, gave off a long, vaporous trail as it sped through a cumulous cloud, cutting the cloud in two. 'Exactly as if it had sucked up the cloud., ' the Cessna pilot exclaimed later.
Back in 1946, the British Broadcasting Corporation announced that Britain 'would soon have aircraft capable of speeds well over 1000 mph, that, according to some experts, such craft had already been built and that, in the near future, they could circumnavigate the globe several times because they needed only fuel for take off and landing..'
Other British sources mentioned aircraft capable of speeds of several thousand miles an hour.
More than twenty years have passed since the otherwise so- eminently-careful BBC boasted of 'Britain's planes of the future,' and officially these aircraft still remain little more than a dream. And yet, did not Ben Lockspeiser, the man who was in charge of the most responsible 'T' teams, declare that 'such craft would need no fuel?' Did he not imply that such craft would gain their own propellant from the atmosphere by suction and expulsion?
On June 26, 1953, an intensely luminous flying object majestically crossed the night sky of Albacete, Spain, at an altitude of 60 miles.
In Britain, scientific papers produced by members of the 'T' teams showed suggestive titles such as 'Boundary Layer Flow Over a Permeable Surface Through Which Suction is Applied' (J.H. Preston), 'The Aerodynamics of Porous Sheets' by G.J. Taylor, and Pankhurst's Aerofoil Catalogue.
In 1959, aeronautical engineer N.S. Currey wrote: 'Canada today must be counted among the most advanced aeronautical powers in the world', and added cautiously, 'This refers above all to the field of jet propulsion.'
The Canadian Department of Mines and the Technical Surveys Mapping Branch reserved a vast area - 125,000 square miles - for production of experimental aircraft. This was one of the decisions reached by the committees of the Commonwealth Conference on Aeronautical Research. This desolate, heavily woooded and mountainous region between British Columbia and Alberta, with the Peace River district as it's Northern frontier and Washington State to the South, was an ideal location - few and easily controlled roads, few settlements, few railroads, but good communications in the north and the south via the trunk line from Prince George to Edmonton and that from Vancouver to the United States border, and only one major highway, to Alaska.
Britain already had considerable wartime experience in this sort of enterprise. In 1942, at the height of the German raids, the RAF had set up five secret airports in the very heart of the New Forest, in Hampshire.
The big thing about these installations was the fact that they included complete industrial plants, decentralizing major groups essential for war production. They were called 'shade workshops.' The Germans, too, had much experience in this field. One of their major plants at Volkenrode resisted all attempts at aerial identification throughout the war.
Neither the British nor the Americans, on an official level, saw eye to eye in scientific matters at the close of the war against Germany and afterward.
The United States' refusal to share atomic secrets with Britain was never quite forgotten in Whitehall, and Britain set out to prove, with Canada, that she was well able to produce her own fission bomb. If Congress steadfastly accused the British of giving little or nothing in return for information, the British felt they had been mistrusted and severely neglected. They preferred to go ahead with their plans in Canada.
The fact that the area has been photographed again and again by high altitude reconnaissance planes, both U.S. and Russian, does not perturb the Canadian or British authorities. The plants and saucer ports are underground, hidden in primeval forests of Columbia.
The question immediately arises: Why have not Britain and Canada made such craft available to their other partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?
I (Vesco) believe there may be many answers to such a question, but one of the main points is this: Lack of confidence and fear of being exploited remain rife among the nations, as they are among people. And why should not Britain and her Commonwealth partner retain one major trump card which, one day, may become invaluable? The pooling of scientific secrets is rarely entirely sincere.
All the evidence, all the knowhow of British scientists before and during the last war, combined with the astounding progress in propulsion and the discoveries in suction aircraft of the Germans, based on 18 years of research into the most secret documents of the past war, have convinced me of one thing :
The flying saucers do not come from space.
They come from a few hundred miles outside the United States.
They mean no harm, and Washington knows this.
Hence the long standing order to all U.S. Air Force pilots:
Intercept--but do not fire upon."
This article, which appeared in Argosy Magazine in August, 1969, is reprinted above in it's entirety. It is important because it is one of the few reports that goes into detail about the revolutionary technical advancements made by the Nazi's in the field of aeronautical research.
Unfortunately, Vesco doesn't offer any real substantiation for the existence of the Kugelblitz, which is the crux of his subject. However, in his book "Intercept, UFO," he tells us that the Kugelblitz was indeed tested some time in February, 1945 over the great underground complex at Kahla, in Thuringia. Both the Kugelblitz and the Feurball were then destroyed by the retreating S.S.
So, could this story be considered fact? We have to take into consideration a number of issues. First and foremost, there is the Nazi's. Could they have been developing craft of such advancement?
History has it that not only were they at war, which required much in the way of manpower, but they took on incredible projects such as constructing huge underground complexes at Nordhausen in the Harz mountains, Pennemunde and others. They also had their Naval Vessals provide support for a very detailed study of the Antartic in which they were alleged to have been building underground bases there as well.
General Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfuhrer as his S.S. men would call him, was quite frankly, a madman. He believed in obediance, controlled breeding and vivisection of humans. He believed in biological mutation and what could be produced with it. He used the slaves for his work force, as well as specimens for research.
Let's discuss this possibility more in the message boards in Paranet and the UFO echos. I am starting to get quite tired of the theory that UFO's and related matters, are extraterrestrial.
It is being shoved down our throats by figures like "Falcon" and "Condor" as well as articles in Paranet like MUGGER.DOC and PICNIC2.DOC. As a matter of fact, that is about all I hear anymore. It seems that since we want to hear about EBE's, the so-called, Intelligence Community, is giving us just what we want to hear.
I call on each and every person in the UFO community to research, in depth, HUMAN history. In particular, great scientists such as, Tesla and his experiments; Einstein's theories; Germany's secret weapons of the Second World War by R. Lusar; the Philadelphia Experiment; Admiral Byrd's Project Highjump; books and periodicals about Nazi Germany and their interest in Antartica; then tell me that the possibility of technology (Earth Technology) could not possibly exist that could explain UFO's and the reason why it is above top secret.

Vangard Sciences includes the following material to assist in further research and understanding of this phenomenon.

------------------------------------------------------------------
There is much available material which can be related to the above referrences to the Kugleblitz.
Among these, we can include plasma/ion field drive systems as developed from the Searle disc, the implosion/impansion effect of Viktor Schauberger, the German secret weapon referred to as the "whirlwind cannon", Tesla's "Mechanical Oscillator" and additional UFO reports over the past two decades.
We will deal with these individually in order to delineate a specific relationship for those who might not be familiar with such topics.
Plasm/ion field drive systems
Many sightings, especially those at night, report glowing or lighted objects which move at high speed. The Searle effect was produced by the spinning of a metal disc at very high speed which levitated momentarily, then took off under its' own power. The principle is directly related to the Biefeld/Brown effect and electrostatic replusion. Voltages beginning at 50 KV and up when applied to two plates acting as capacitors will produce a thrust away from the planet. This thrust is due to an attractive force from the positive plate and a repellent force from the negative. If the force is of sufficient electrical potential, a plasma (cloud of ionized gases) will be formed.
In the Searle case, it was believed that "free electrons" were centrifugally thrown towards the outside rim to accumulate the necessary potential for the lift.
The mention of the klystron in the early "Foo fighters" is again interesting in that it provides a clue to a superior means of creating the plasma levitation field locally. Klystrons and magnetrons are used in microwave ovens to generate the intense, focussed local microwave field for cooking. This indicates that application to an appropriate surface at a specific frequency, might excite the surrounding air sufficiently to generate the plasma.
Implosion/Impansion
Viktor Schauberger discovered that all Nature operates with a dual principle, centripetence and centrifugence. Centripetence was called by Schauberger "Implosion or Impansion" to indicate a vortex action which condensed and cooled in the process. Experiments carried out by Schauberger included a levitating effect which could be acheived with the use of water or air. There are reports that during WWII, Schauberger actually assisted in the construction of a levitation craft under orders of the German military.
From "German Weapons and Secret Weapons of the 2nd WW and their Further Development" by Rudolf Lusar:
"The development, (relating to flying saucers) which had cost millions, was almost complete by the end of the war. No doubt the existing models were destroyed, although the plant in Breslau, where Miethe worked, fell into the hands of the Russians, who removed all the material and technical personnel to Siberia, where further work on these "flying saucers" has been carried on with much success. Schriever just managed to get out of Prague in time, Habermohl, on the other hand, must be in the Soviet Union.The former German designer Miethe is in the USA and, as far as can be determined, is designing "flying saucers" for A.V. Roe & Co. The machines, which have been observed to date, have diameters in the order of 16, 42, 45 and 75 metres and they are supposed to develop a speed of up to 7,000 km/hour.
Already in 1952 "flying saucers" had been indisputably recognised over Korea and according to press reports, were also observed and reported during NATO manoeuvres in Alsace in the spring of 1954."
In a letter written by Schauberger to a friend, he gives further information from his direct experience with the German military :
"The "flying saucer" which was flight-tested on the 19th February 1945 near Prague and which attained a height of 15,000 metres in 3 minutes and a horizontal speed of 2,200 km/hours, was constructed according to a Model 1 built at Mauthausen concentration camp in collaboration with the first-class engineers and stress-analysts ASSIGNED TO ME from the prisoners there.It was only after the end of the war that I came to hear, through one of the workers UNDER MY DIRECTION, a Czech, THAT FURTHER INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT WAS IN PROGRESS: however, there was no answer to my enquiry.
From what I understand, just before the end of the war, the machine is SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED on Keitel's orders. That's the last I heard of it.
In this affair, several armament specialists were also involved who appeared at the works in Prague, shortly before my return to Vienna, and asked that I DEMONSTRATE the fundamental basis of it: The CREATION OF AN ATOMIC LOW-PRESSURE ZONE, which DEVELOPS IN SECONDS when either AIR or WATER IS CAUSED TO MOVE RADIALLY AND AXIALLY under conditions of a FALLING TEMPERATURE GRADIENT."
This principle is without doubt to my mind, the "suction craft" referred in the previous Vesco article.
The "Whirlwind Cannon"
There are reports of another fantastic secret weapon which was constructed and used during WWII. This weapon was said to use air as its "bullet" and could knock down a brick wall at a range of several miles. On the KeelyNet board (214) 324-3501, there is a file VORTXGUN.ZIP (or .ASC if using a non-IBM system) which gives a short description of work done in the US on vortex principles. Personal discussions I have had with various informed researchers indicates that a plasma weapon using vortex principles is currently in research if not already here.
Tesla's Mechanical Oscillator
Another device invented by Tesla was the Mechanical Oscillator which compressed air until the oxygen became a liquid. It was built in the form of an air cylinder and contained several chambers, each of which successively cools the air until it becomes liquid. Tesla stated that the device was highly efficient and could be used as a power generating system if magnets were attached to the oscillating pistons.
Refer to the above comments about "oxygen recycle system" and 'important experiments made with LIQUID OXYGEN for new turbine engines capable of developing extraordinary power.'
UFO Reports
Speed measurements of UFO's made with the use of radar have been reported up to 5,000 MPH. Others move so fast that speeds can only be calculated by using time over distance between related sightings indicates speeds up to 12,000 MPH.
Glowing spheres, cylinders and lens-shaped objects (most frequent) are the forms which UFO's tend to take. The use of Plasma as a propulsion method would obviates aerodynamic requirements up to certain speeds since the plasma would cut through the atmosphere like a hot knife through butter.
However, above certain critical speeds, dependent on the shape of the craft, the plasma would not fully protect against wind resistance. This would justify the use of the "frisbee" lens shape most commonly seen. In addition, gyroscopic stabilization would further assist navigation.
------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, the Vesco article opens many cans of worms.
If the Germans combined the Schauberger Implosion principle (vortex "whirlwind") with the grisou (fire damp gas) and added the Klystron exciter for the plasma drive system, then the Kugleblitz is indeed possible.
In addition, another type of drive could be achieved by using Tesla principles (available years before WWII) for such Tesla turbines driven by liquid oxygen produced by Tesla Mechanical Oscillators.
