Unexplained Aircraft When World War II ended, the Germans had several radical types of new aircraft and guided missiles under development. The majority of these projects were in the most preliminary stages, but they were the only known craft that could even approach the performance of the objects reported by UFO observers. - Edward J. Ruppelt (Head of the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book, 1951-1953) It was alleged by certain German scientists and aviation experts such as Walter Miethe, Klaus Habermohl, and Rudolph Schriever, as well as Italian engineer Giuseppe Belluzzo, that from the early to mid 1940s they had been a part of secret projects which had completed work on prototype manned circular-wing aircraft at facilities in Germany and Czechoslovakia... The aircraft, which allegedy had VTOL (vertical take off and landing) capabilities, utilized an ingenious system to reduce the boundary layer (the air that accumulates in front of an aircraft in flight). The dead air was sucked through intakes around the circumference of the circular wing and expelled through adjustable radial nozzles which could allow for incredible maneuverability. The pilot would have been situated in a cupola-shaped cockpit at the center of the craft. The flying saucer was born... Aside from Adolf Hitler, Chief of the Luftwaffe High Command Hermann Göring, and head of the SS Heinrich Himmler, whose respective fates are well-known, there was one other high ranking German official who would have known intimate details about secret German aircraft and weapons projects underway during the closing days of the war in Europe. That individual was Hans Kammler. In early 1945 Kammler, who had already been overseeing crucial building projects relating to the German rocketry program, was put in charge of all missile and jet aircraft projects, making him effectively only answerable to Hitler. If anyone had been privy to information of circular-wing aircraft being designed and built during that period, it would have been him. There has been conjecture over the decades regarding what became of Kammler. Stories were told in the aftermath of the war that he was killed by allied troops, or perhaps committed suicide. There was also talk that he had been captured or had surrendered to the Allies... In 2019 evidence was published revealing that Kammler had been captured and interviewed by American forces in May 1945. In a document which originated at the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Force in Europe, Hans Kammler is listed among 34 key German Air Force personnel who were “presently being held for interrogation”. However, almost nothing is known of his whereabouts after such time. It seems likely that if Kammler had indeed been taken into American custody that, given the information he knew concerning secret German weapons and aircraft projects, he would have potentially been cut a deal like the scientists under Operation Paperclip. On June 24th 1947 American pilot Kenneth Arnold reported that while flying near Mt Rainier in Washington state, he had observed nine disk-shaped aircraft seemingly flying in formation. According to him the strange aircraft were last seen heading in the direction of Canada. His story was picked up by the press and was widely reported on across the country. ...in the coming weeks there would be credible sightings of disk-shaped aircraft throughout the western half of the U.S., with multiple sightings occurring over sensitive military installations. The great post-war saucer scare reached its zenith in 1952, when unidentified objects were sighted over the White House and Capitol Hill in Washington DC. The objects were seen by individuals on the ground, pilots in the air, and on radar scopes by technicians at both Washington National Airport and Andrews AFB. So many reports came in that many in the Air Force were absolutely frantic. Jets were eventually scrambled to intercept the objects, but to no avail. The aircraft either outpaced the Air Force planes or the lights that were described on them simply blinked out like someone switching off a lamp. ...not once did any Airforce aircraft attempt to fire upon the objects, nor was any order given to do so. This echoes a 1948 order which came down from the upper echelons of the Air Force on how to deal with UFOs. The order was simple; “…intercept, but don't shoot”. Another interesting tidbit is an interaction between the then head of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book (an investigative group on UFOs) Edward Ruppelt and a scientist who he could not identify for security reasons (as documented in Ruppelt’s 1956 book The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects). The interaction occurred shortly before the 1952 “incursions”. This individual told Ruppelt that in the coming days there would be “…the granddaddy of all UFO sightings…” and that the event would likely occur in Washington DC. It is evident that certain individuals knew what these unconventional aircraft were, and perhaps more importantly, when, where, and why they were being flown. https://open.substack.com/pub/theprometheanflame/p/ufos-demystified-part-one?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer The genesis of the Avrocar were projects known as Y, Y-2, and Silverbug, respectively. According to documents now publicly available these projects allegedly began in the early 1950s, yet aircraft matching the descriptions of the now declassified designs were being spotted over North America in 1947. Is it possible that an even more secretive project to design and manufacture circular-wing aircraft existed within A.V. Roe? There is a clue which can be found within the declassified documentation regarding the projects, specifically project silverbug. The designation which was used for the Avrocar (WS606A) was also used for a completely different aircraft which has never been publicly revealed. Separate internal documentation also referred to this aircraft as PV.704, “PV” meaning private venture. Unlike the Avrocar, it was listed as being a supersonic aircraft. Why did a radically different planform, which has never been acknowledged as being built, have the same designation as the failed Avrocar? It’s safe to say that someone had unconventional circular-wing aircraft as early as 1947... Could the public failure of the Avrocar have been a U.S./Canadian counterintelligence operation primarily directed at the Soviets in an attempt to make them think that the western powers, specifically America, could not build a functional circular-wing airplane? In 1952 an internal memo was written by the then director of the CIA Walter B. Smith which emphasized the idea that the subject of flying saucers needed to be examined as a possible tool for psychological warfare. What did this mean exactly? The obvious answer is that the saucer reports could be used against the Soviets in the same way that the CIA was afraid they could be used against America; clog up the relevant channels of communications and catch them off guard. False UFO waves could potentially be drummed up, and perhaps even mass hysteria could be induced. But what if the Americans had the ultimate tool to physically create UFO reports? One that had already been proven, whether intentionally or inadvertently, to do so. That tool being circular-wing aircraft; their very own flying saucers. UFO Abductions and Mind Control If one really succeeded in making world public opinion accept the idea that a mysterious air weapon was of extraterrestrial origin, any attack would in fact pass for an act completely independent of the human will! - Renato Vesco, Intercept But Don’t Shoot Beginning in the 50s and 60s individuals began reporting that they had been taken, sometimes against their will, by humanoid beings who rode around in flying saucers and other unorthodox craft. Antonio Vilas Boas reported that on the night of October 15, 1957 he was abducted from his family farm in Brazil by a group of human-looking individuals who he said came out of an oval shaped craft with flashing lights. The abductors were described as wearing black jumpsuits and helmets with what appeared to be breathing apparatus. Boas was taken onboard the craft against his will where his captors drew blood from his chin and locked him in an empty room. He was then involved in a sexual encounter with a humanoid woman, after which he was escorted off of the craft and left in peace. Was Boas really abducted by Alien beings from not of this world, or was there something else at play? A man named Bosco Nedelcovic, who had close ties to the U.S. Department of Defense, claimed that he had been involved with a covert CIA mission called Operation Mirage in which mind-control experiments were performed on unwitting individuals in various South American nations. One of these he claimed he was a part of was the “abduction” of Antonio Vilas Boas. According to him Boas had actually been drugged and taken aboard a helicopter. The wound on his chin which he believed was caused via a blood sample was allegedly caused by him slipping and hitting his chin on the edge of the aircraft. ...the CIA was then engaged in similar experimentation on unwitting persons, and it would have been a relatively simple task to administer drugs in aerosol form from a helicopter or other aircraft to target individuals in remote locales in order to conduct various psychological tests. https://open.substack.com/pub/theprometheanflame/p/ufos-demystified-part-two?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer Psychotronic Weapons When the CIA’s MKULTRA and other adjacent projects were revealed to the public in the 1970s something crucial was kept in the dark. While horrible stories involving drugging, hypnosis, and even implantation of foreign bodies perpetrated on individuals for the purpose of controlling a human being against their will were widely circulated, there was a crucial piece of the puzzle which was only hinted at. That piece was psycho-electronic (sometimes called psychotronic) weapons... https://open.substack.com/pub/theprometheanflame/p/ufos-demystified-paint-it-black?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer Psycho-electronic weapons are devices which by utilizing electromagnetic energy, can affect the nervous system remotely, without the need for implantation. During a study undertaken at UCLA’s Reed Neurological Research Center in 1978 on electromagnetic stimulation of the temporal lobe of the brain, individuals reported such effects as hot and cold sensations, disorientation regarding time and place, temporary amnesia, and seeing colored balls and flashes of light. A different study, this time on the effects of low-level magnetic fields, also produced incredibly relevant effects. Subjects reported sensations of floating and weightlessness, and a sense of presence; one individual was quoted as saying “I feel something in here with me”. There were also visual effects reported such as seeing mechanical objects rotating, and birds flying around the room. ...there is such secrecy surrounding this subject that when many of the sordid details concerning MKULTRA were revealed to the public during the 1970s, the specifics on psycho-electronics could not even be accessed because they resided in the world of highly classified projects... Perhaps one of the most revealing cases ever reported suggesting the use of such devices on an unwitting individual is the case of a woman named Alison from the US state of Arizona... Alison reported that she had been “abducted” multiple times during adulthood by UFO occupants. One of her experiences however, differs from the others in a crucial way. Prior to her abductions, she recounted that the electricity in her home often would go out, then she would hear a low humming noise coming from outside. In this particular encounter though, this humming sound abruptly ceased shortly after it began. …when the sound stopped she began to regain mental clarity and observed a shocking sight. Standing in front of her in the middle of her home were multiple men wearing black combat fatigues. One of the men raised his hand as if signaling her to stay where she was, while she reported that another one asked “what happened?”. The men backed away and hurriedly exited through the front door. Alison made her way to the window where she saw them climb aboard an unmarked black helicopter that was equipped with a large spotlight. The aircraft promptly ascended and flew away. Artificial Luminous Phenomena The famous scientist Nikola Tesla conducted research on various potential uses of electromagnetic forces, and the effects already discussed could be potential explanations for some of his more incredible claims. For instance, in his 1897 notes concerning various experiments which he had undertaken at his Colorado Springs laboratory, he described the production of luminous “fireballs”; essentially artificial ball lightning. If such a thing could be successfully accomplished, then real-life UFO encounters could be staged, and by utilizing some of the effects which EM fields can have on the nervous system, paranormal experiences could be artificially induced. It may be relevant that upon Tesla’s death in 1943, his surviving documents and records were confiscated by the FBI. Interestingly, some of this material has still not seen the light of day after all these years. https://open.substack.com/pub/theprometheanflame/p/ufos-demystified-the-paranormal-syndrome?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer submitted by /u/knowstradamus7 [link] [comments]
