- [Narrator] In Jules Verne's
classic tale of adventure,

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,

what was thought to
be a fearsome monster,

terrorizing the sea lanes,

devouring whole ships and crews,

stirring a public
frenzy, was in fact,

a fantastic submarine,
the Nautilus,

built by the mysterious
genius inventor, Captain Nemo.

(sinister music)

(crashing)

(explosion booming)

- [Narrator] Behind this
facade of an avenging beast

from the depths was in reality a

secret advanced technology,
a submersible boat,

the product of
engineering know-how
years ahead of its time.

This mechanical marvel gave
its creator, Captain Nemo,

dominion over the
oceans of the world.

Verne echoes this theme of
clandestine super-technology,

again the product of
a reclusive genius,

in another novel entitled
Robur the Conqueror,

and its sequel,
Master of the World.

But instead of a submarine,

these tales are of
an extraordinary

flying machine
called the Albatross.

A compelling contemporary
version of this scenario,

was revealed In W. A.
Harbinson's dark novel, Genesis,

only in this tale,
flying saucers are

the instruments
of twisted genius.

Published in 1980,
this book tells of a

brilliant scientist and
aeronautical engineer

named Wilson who perfects
flying-disc technology

for the Nazis
during World War II.

(whirring)
(rumbling)

As Allied armies over-run
the crumbling Reich,

Wilson escapes by
U-Boat to Antarctica,

and from a secret base
constructed there,

he sets about his evil
plan for world dominion,

with flying discs
masquerading as UFOs

piloted by aliens from space.

Having mastered techniques
in biomechanics,

DNA replication
and brain implants,

as well as anti-gravity
propulsion,

he systematically
abducts people of

influence in
government, industry,

science and the military,
turning them into

living robots, mindless
drones to serve

his One World Order Empire.

Based on research into secret

Nazi weapons projects,
Harbinson's novel

explores the
possibility that UFOs,

flying saucers, may not
be alien space ships

after all, but the
super-secret military

technology of planet Earth.

In his book Harbinson
reveals an extensive

appendix of data that
supports this theory.

Some of his revelations
are startling,

and with this video essay
we intend to examine

his findings as well as
additional information

that reconsiders
the origins of UFOs.

(tense music)

Since the late 20th century,

the UFO mystery has
evolved into one of today's

premier urban legend enigmas.

So much so stories
like the notorious

UFO crash at Roswell, and
the Betty and Barney Hill

alien abduction case
are now indelibly woven

into the fabric of our
contemporary culture.

These stories are but
fragments of a vast

accumulation of evidence,
photographs, landing tracks,

and innumerable accounts
from credible eye witnesses

all reporting strange
objects flying in our skies.

Machines of intelligent design,

that cannot be accounted for,

given our accepted
technological paradigm.

A general consensus
of unidentified
flying object reports

describe craft designs
and flight capabilities

that defy our accepted
laws of aerodynamics,

giving rise to a
logical assumption,

such bizarre flying
machines must come

from somewhere beyond our world.

So the notion that any
such flying machines

could have been the invention of

Nazi World War II
technology seems like

the wildest tabloid nonsense.

Yet under closer examination,

this suggestion becomes a
more haunting possibility.

We know as historical fact,

such technological
wizardry as television,

jet aircraft and guided
missiles were developed

by German science
during World War II.

And it is well known
that Hitler repeatedly

boasted possession of
a secret super-weapons

arsenal that would
rescue the fading dream

of Nazi conquest.

Were his words just
desperate, empty bravado?

Is it possible that
flying saucers were

an integral part
of this weaponry?

The real truth is
difficult to ascertain yet

a tantalizing trail of
clues and conjectures

beckons investigation into
the myth of German saucers.

Western civilization
for the latter half

of the 20th century
has been dominated by

advances in science
and technology.

Most of these wonders
of scientific ingenuity

existed behind closed
doors long before

their common acceptance
by the public at large.

Antibiotics were
discovered in 1910,

but not applied until 1940.

The physics for using the
atom as a source of energy

was understood as scientific
fact as early as 1919.

But to the public,
such technology was

pure science fiction
until August 6th, 1945,

when the first atomic bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.

(dramatic music)

(explosion booming)

- [Announcer] At
exactly three a.m.,

the pilot in the lead
aircraft pushed the button,

and a 2000-pound laser-guided
bomb descended on its target.

- [Narrator] Television
guided smart-bombs

used in the 1991 Gulf
War against Iraq,

were a technological
advancement developed

by Germany in World War II.

In fact the first
television transmission,

of the 1936 Olympic
Games in Berlin,

showcased yet another marvel
of German scientific genius.

But by 1944, despite
such extraordinary

technical genius, the German
war machine was failing.

Cities, factories, oil
dumps, railways and shipyards

were being pummeled
mercilessly by Allied bombers.

In November of that year
debriefed Allied bomber crews

began reporting strange
balls of glowing light

that seemed to
follow their planes.

Somehow intelligently
guided, these lights would

ascend from the ground and
meet the approaching bombers.

Close proximity to
these objects caused

reported engine malfunction
and some bombers

allegedly crashed as a
result of this effect.

(engines droning)
- Nine o'clock!

- Coming at you!

- Come on you bastard kraut,

come to Poppa!

Yeah, whoo I got him!

keep your eyes on him!

(machine gun firing)
(chattering)

- Whoo whoo whoo whoo...
(machine gun firing)

- He's coming back,
- Whoo hoo hoo hoo!

you got it captain!
(eerie whooshing)

- [Gunner] Captain!

- What do you got Tolen?
- Lights, blue lights!

- We see them too...
- Holy Mary!

- What the hell are they?
- Let's get a look at these...

- What are they, Germans?
- They're too bright,

I can't see.

- [Crewman] Three bogies
moving fast, like (mumbles)!

- [Captain] Everybody keep calm,

we're gonna take care of this.

(machine gun firing)
- 12 o'clock!

- [Crewman] M1 coming
down on the left!

(machine gun firing)
(radio chattering)

- [Narrator] The New York
Herald Tribune reported

the balls of fire appear
suddenly and accompany

the planes for miles.

They seem to be radio
controlled from the ground,

so official intelligence
reports reveal.

Eighth Army Air Corp
and the RAF dismissed

these foo fighter
reports as simply

mass hallucinations on the
part of jittery flight crews.

Shortly before the
German surrender,

these foo fighters disappeared.

But later, Italian
author Renato Vesco

in his book Intercept
UFO, revealed

foo fighters were more
than mere hallucinations.

A remote controlled flying
device, called the fuer ball,

or fireball, a turbo-jet
powered, armored disc

built by the Veener-nor-schtadt
Aircraft Manufacturing plant

was responsible for the
foo fighter reports.

By day the fuer ball
could be seen as

a shiny metal disc
spinning on its axis.

By night it looked like
a glowing ball of fire.

A rich fuel mixture
over-ionized the air

surrounding the disc,
creating a fiery halo.

It was designed to home
in on enemy aircraft

engine exhaust, and was
capable of generating

damaging
electro-magnetic impulses

that interfered with
the ignition systems
of bomber engines.

As the war progressed,
London, England,

was pounded relentlessly
by V1 and V2 rockets,

revolutionary flying
bombs today commonly

referred to as guided missiles.

These weapons were
devastatingly real.

But what other types
of secret weaponry

did the Nazis possess?

According to W. A.
Harbinson's research,

a Luftwaffe officer,
Captain Rudolf Schreiver,

an aeronautical engineer
was credited for

designing a vertical-lift
craft called the Flying Top,

as early as the spring of 1941.

A prototype was test
flown in June of 1942,

and by August of 1943,
he had constructed

a larger specimen of
his original disc.

The Flying Top itself
was a large disc fan,

of 20-meters diameter,
with 21 rotor blades

that surrounded a
hemispherical cockpit.

Attached to the underside
of the disc rotor,

were three jet engines
that spun the rotor

like a helicopter
for vertical takeoff.

Once in the air, two
additional lower-body

kerosene-fueled turbine engines

allowed the disc to
achieve level flight.

But by the Summer of 1944,

at the BMW plant in
Prague, Czechoslovakia,

Captain Schreiver was working on

a far grander design for his
vertical-lift flying machine.

Collaborating with two
other German engineers

on this project, doctors
Habermohl and Miethe,

as well as an Italian
physicist, Dr. Beluzzo,

these men designed a
flying disc 138-feet

in diameter that could reach
40,000 feet in altitude,

and was capable of over
1200 miles per hour,

horizontal flight speed.

The configuration, similar
to his original design,

remained a fixed-cupola cockpit,

in the center of a discus
plate that rotated around it.

After the war Schreiver
admitted to constructing

the disc but claimed
it was never flown.

To keep it from the hands
of the advancing Allies,

it was destroyed, along
with all planning designs.

However, an alleged eye witness,

German aircraft
designer George Klein,

claims this, or a similar disc,

was successfully test
flown in February of 1945.

Renato Vesco's
book Intercept UFO,

states that German
Engineer Rudolf Schreiver,

right up to the time
of his death in the

late 1950s, was convinced
UFO sightings after the war

were proof that someone
had successfully advanced

his original designs.

A post script to
Shreiver's Flying Top story

is revealed in the book,
Clear Intent, an investigative

UFO study by Lawrence
Fawcett and Barry Greenwood.

The case in point comes
from a former Polish POW,

who recounts serving on a
prison labor detail in 1944,

cutting hay at a camp
some 30 miles from Berlin.

He recalled being startled
by a high-pitched whine,

coming from behind a
large, circular tarpaulin

enclosure roughly 150-yards
in diameter, and 50-feet tall.

The noise was similar to that
of a large electric generator.

At the same time the labor
detail tractor stalled,

but the German driver made
no effort to restart it.

Suddenly a large dark
gray circular machine,

75- to 100-yards in
diameter rose slowly up

from behind the enclosure.

The POW described it
has having a stationary

top and bottom section,

with a rapidly spinning
middle section.

The craft lifted high enough
to clear the canvas wall,

and then moved off out of his
sight behind a stand of trees.

Curiously, just five years
after the war in 1950,

a rancher in Argentina reported
witnessing the flight of

an aircraft he
described as identical

to the Nazi Flying Top.

And even today,
the ultra-high tech

futuristic Venus Project,

features prototype vertical-lift

hovercraft conceptually
identical to the
Nazi Flying Top.

Research by authors Wendell
Stevens and William Steinman,

in their book UFO
Crash at Aztec,

revealed additional Nazi
saucer development projects,

including reference
to Viktor Schauberger,

an Austrian Forest
Warden, Naturalist,

philosopher and inventor,
whose observations revealed

the vortex as nature's
most efficient means

for the transmission of energy.

To serve the Nazi quest for
alternative energy sources,

Schauberger was coerced to
put his theories to use.

He built a 10-foot diameter,
vortex propulsion machine,

at a facility in
Vienna, that generated

diamagnetic levitation.

This repulsing engine
produced results

so spectacular that it
took off vertically,

shooting straight through the
24-foot high hangar ceiling.

Schauberger's research
fame earned him a

private audience with
Hitler in the 1930s,

when he warned the
Fuhrer that the

short-termism of the
national socialist state's

economic strategy
would undermine and

ultimately destroy
Germay's natural resources,

Hitler's 1000-year Reich,
Schauberger declared,

would be lucky to last a decade.

His warning proved prophetic.

Work continued on his
levitating machines

until 1945, but was
ultimately halted

by the invading Allied armies.

Schauberger was captured and
deported to the United States,

where he was confined
and coerced into

relinquishing his
technical secrets.

Authorities claimed
rights to all his ideas,

thoughts and discoveries,
past as well as future.

His intellect, indeed
his whole being,

had become United
States property.

Dejected, he died on
September 25th, 1958,

at the age of 74.

"I don't even own myself
any longer," he remarked.

Finally the Nazi European war
effort collapsed altogether,

by the spring of 1945.

Germany's military
capitulated to the American,

British and Russian armies.

Secret flying disc projects
proved insufficient

to rescue the Reich,
but just the same,

victorious Allied commanders
were clearly shaken

by the advances of captured
Nazi weapons technology.

Sir Roy Fedden, leader
of a technical mission

to Germany for the British
Ministry of Aircraft Production

stated, "I have seen
enough of their designs

"and production plans to
realize that if they had

"managed to prolong the
war some months longer,

"we would have been confronted
with a set of entirely new,

"and deadly developments
in air warfare."

Later in 1956, United
States Air Force

Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, Head
of Project Bluebook stated,

"When World War II ended
the Germans had several

"radical types of aircraft
and guided missiles

"under development.

"The majority of these were
in the most preliminary

"stages, but they were
the only known aircraft

"that could even
approach the performances

"of the objects reported
by UFO observers."

America, British, and Soviet
technical intelligence

experts picked the bones
of the Nazi war machine.

Personnel and
material flowed back

to each respective country.

Nazi rocket designer
Wernher Von Braun,

and 300 railroad freight cars,

loaded with captured
V2 rocket components

were shipped to White
Sands, New Mexico,

for him to re-assemble as
America's rocket program,

which over the ensuing decades,

would evolve into NASA's
Apollo Lunar Landing Program.

- [Announcer] All
engine running.

Liftoff, we have a liftoff,
32 minutes past the hour.

Liftoff (mumbles)...

- [Narrator] Project
Saucer seems to have been

consigned to oblivion.

Little more was revealed
about the fate of engineers,

plans or hardware, but a
persistent rumor remained

that a top secret division
within the Nazi SS,

called SS E-IV, had
successfully developed

anti-gravity saucer
propulsion systems.

But had all of these
secret technologies

been captured or accounted
for by the end of the war?

In 1947, just two years
after the German surrender,

the mystery of Nazi saucers
compounded even more.

According to W. A.
Harbinson's research,

only two months after
the Germen surrender,

captured U-Boat crews,
under interrogation

by United States
Navy authorities,

revealed Nazi submarines
had been delivering

components, material,
and members of the

Project Saucer research
team to a secret

underground stronghold,
in the Antarctic.

Thus in January of 1947,
Operation High-Jump,

a naval military task
force, complete with

4000 combat troops, 13 ships,

and an aircraft carrier
loaded with seaplanes

and helicopters was
dispatched to the South Pole,

under the command of
Admiral Richard E. Byrd,

to seek out and destroy
this Nazi stronghold.

But despite preparations
for an eight-month

polar stay, Byrd
withdrew his combat group

after only eight
weeks, having been

allegedly repelled by
Nazi fighter aircraft

able to fly from one
pole to the other

with incredible speed.

Just six months later,
in June of 1947,

UFOs were buzzing Mount
Rainier, Washington.

A private pilot
named Kenneth Arnold

reported a flight of
nine shiny objects

cruising along like
a saucer would if you

skipped it across the water.

Seizing upon his word
saucer, the press launched

the national flying
saucer frenzy.

But Arnold actually
stated the objects he saw

looked more crescent
shaped, like flying wings,

which coincidentally was
yet another radical air form

designed by the German Horten
brothers during World War II.

In addition, these
craft were on a heading

for the Canadian border,

about 140 miles north
of Mount Rainier.

And according to
Harbinson's research,

as early as 1946, joint
American, Canadian,

British saucer
research was under way

in the wilds of western Canada.

Just four months later,
in December of 1947,

the Strategic Air
Command deployed an

extensive reconnaissance mission
to Fort Richardson, Alaska,

for aerial mapping
of the North Pole.

And yet again, unknown flying
discs were regularly observed

during those flight
operations as well.

B29 Project Commander,
Major Charles Moss,

concluded the unidentifieds
reported over the pole,

to be secret Russian aircraft,

possibly advanced from
captured German designs.

But the grandest of
all 1947 UFO stories

came in July of that year
when the Army Air Corp

reported capturing a crashed
UFO near Roswell, New Mexico.

Although the Army swiftly
recanted its UFO crash

recovery claim, as a
mere weather balloon,

50 years later a Nazi
connection to the

Roswell saucer crash
was also revealed.

In his book, The
Day After Roswell,

Colonel Philip Corso
shared military concern,

that the crashed
spacecraft recovered in

the New Mexico
desert also displayed

suspiciously Nazi origins.

Conversations with
Wernher Von Braun

and Willy Ley at
Alamogordo in the days

after the crash,
intimated that there was

a deeper story about what
the Germans had engineered.

The similarity between
the Horten Flying Wing

and the craft they
had pulled out of

the arroyo was no accident.

Dr. Hermann Oberth
considered the Roswell craft

from the New Mexico
desert not a spacecraft,

but a time machine.

"Therefore perhaps the EBEs,

"extraterrestrial
biological entities,

"described in the
medical autopsy reports

"where humanoid robots
rather than life forms,

"specifically engineered
for long-distance travel

"through space or time."

UFOs Reconsidered.

Is it possible that the
extraordinary research

uncovered by W. A. Harbinson
in his novel Genesis,

reveals a factual story
about German flying saucer

technology that can
only be told as fiction?

Of course this line of
research is not to dismiss

the UFO phenomenon as
being the exclusive

product of Earth technology.

The unknowns reported
flying in our skies

could be both terrestrial
as well as extraterrestrial.

How would the average
layman in the street

know the difference?

But for serious Pentagon
defense planners,

UFOs presented a three-fold
strategic problem,

that highly advanced
foreign aircraft

were being flown over
our most sensitive

military installations by
communist soviet military,

independent post-war Nazi
elites, or extraterrestrials.

This left the American
defense establishment

facing a tactical disadvantage

of greater proportion than the

Japanese sneak attack
on Pearl Harbor,

just six years earlier.

To cope with such a
potential military threat

required extending and expanding

the Manhattan
Atomic Bomb Project

into a top priority
research effort,

to investigate, emulate,
and if possible,

surpass the flight
performance of such

unidentified aircraft as quickly
and secretly as possible.

Assuming the phsyics involved
with saucer propulsion

are based on
universal principles,

technologies we are
just now mastering could

have been discovered
and harnessed by

any number of alien
races eons ago.

Accounts of UFOs date
back to antiquity,

a phenomenon as old
as mankind itself.

Mastery of antigravity
technology could,

as Albert Einstein suggested,

accommodate interstellar travel

by generating
electromagnetic fields that

are freed from the
bounds of time and space

as well as gravity,
thus rendering

travel of fantastic distances,

between inhabited star
systems no more extraordinary

than a jaunt to
the corner grocery.

Also, there are those
who suggest that

terrestrial UFO projects
are alien sponsored,

that extraterrestrials,
for whatever reasons,

have made covert treaties
with Earth governments

offering technical assistance
to competing world powers.

In fact, some argue,
Nazi Project Saucer,

came from just such a pact.

Fantastic weapons and
science of World War II

was not the exclusive
province of Nazis alone.

Thanks to the war, American
physicists and engineers

began investigating
fundamental antigravity

technologies themselves.

In the early years of World
War II, terrible losses

of Allied shipping due to
Nazi U-Boat attacks was

forcing the United States Navy

to consider techniques
for making ships

invisible to radar.

It was theorized that
a sufficiently powerful

electromagnetic
field could make a

vessel undetectable
to enemy radar.

However this same
concept advanced to

a daring degree postulated
a more intense energy field

could make a ship visually
invisible as well.

According to the
research of William Moore

and Charles Berlitz,
in their book,

The Philadelphia Experiment,

the United States Navy
Destroyer, Eldridge,

and a volunteer crew in
1943 were allegedly involved

in a practical test
of this theory,

to render the ship invisible.

This project stemmed
from Albert Einstein's

Unified Field Theory
research, which postulates,

time, space and gravity
can be manipulated by

a sufficiently powerful
electromagnetic field.

And during 1943, Einstein
was briefly employed

by the United States
Navy Department.

But despite official
denial that any such

invisibility test took place,

proponents of this story
point out that through

this research, the Navy
inadvertently stumbled onto

the fundamentals of
antigravity propulsion.

Physicists determined
the ideal air form

for the application
of electromagnetic

ressonnance propulsion
would be an oblate spheroid.

In other words, a flying saucer.

(engines whooshing)

By the 1950s the world
had transformed into

an amazing science
fiction reality,

full of technological promise.

10 years earlier the notion
of splitting the atom

to create an explosion had
been pure Buck Rogers fantasy,

but by the early 1950s,
ongoing nuclear bomb testing

in Nevada and the
Pacific was routine.

Jet aircraft, rockets
and television were new

high-tech additions to America's
everyday world as well.

And flying saucers
were an integral part

of fabulous 50's culture.

A California man
named George Adamski,

claimed to be entertaining
visitors from Venus.

He shared books,
photographs, and home movies

of his flying saucer adventures,

that fanned the fires of
the popular UFO craze.

Hollywood capitalized on
the flying saucer mania

as well by serving
up pot-boiler movies,

filled with grotesque
aliens invading from space.

And concurrent with tabloid
and cinema exploitation,

was the perpetual
propaganda theme that

no agency of this Earth
could possibly produce

flying sauce technology.

But with such propaganda,
clever diversion

from the fact that
flying saucer propulsion

was now within the grasp
of practical science.

In 1953, Physicist
T. Townsend Brown,

was demonstrating
antigravity flying saucers

in his own science lab.

The flight of tethered,
disc-shaped air foils

two feet in diameter around
a 20-foot diameter course,

produced an observable
speed of an amazing

17-feet per second,
about 12 miles an hour.

The disc-shaped air foils
emitted a slight hum

and a bluish electrical glow.

At a later demonstration,
Brown exhibited a

set of discs three
feet across, flying a

50-foot diameter
course, with results

so spectacular that they
were immediately classified.

In November of 1955, the
New York Herald Tribune

published a series
of articles by

Military Aviation Editor,
Ansell E. Talbert,

outlining a government
project to harness gravitation

as a means of aircraft
and spacecraft propulsion.

Some of America's
most brilliant minds,

such as atomic bomb
specialists like Edward Teller,

and J. Robert
Oppenheimer were named

as proponents of this project.

Talbert went on to
describe these amazing

antigravity ships as
capable of acceleration

in a few seconds to
speeds of many thousands

of miles an hour, and making
sudden changes of course

at these speeds without
subjecting the passengers

to the so-called G-forces
caused by gravity's pull.

Such flight characteristics
as Talbert described

for future aircraft were
already being observed

in UFO flight behavior.

Some of the companies allegedly
involved in antigravity

propulsion research
were notables as

Lear Incorporated,
Bell Aircraft,

Sperry-Rand Corporation,

Glen H. Martin Corporation,
and General Electric.

According to
researcher Stan Deyo,

a technical paper, published
in December of 1956,

by Gravity-Rand
Limited of London,

entitled The
Gravitics Situation,

bluntly stated mankind
had already developed

antigravity propulsion
based on the research

of T. Townsend Brown.

A program in hand, may now
ensure that development

of large size discs
will be continued.

This is backed by the
United States Government.

Already companies are
specializing in evolution

of particular components of
an electro-gravitics disc.

This implies that the
science is in the same state

as the ICBM, namely, that no
new breakthroughs are needed,

only intensive
development engineering.

In 1956 Hollywood showcased
antigravity propulsion

in the MGM science fiction
thriller, Forbidden Planet,

a film featuring future Earth
humans rather than aliens,

piloting flying saucers
into deep space.

In fact this film
actually offered a glimpse

of the sleek space cruiser's
electromagnetic engine coil.

Public disclosure
of fantastic new

propulsion technologies
seemed imminent.

By 1959, the United
States Air Force

unveiled its own sleek,
Hollywood-style saucer

called the Avro Disc,
destined to make all other

forms of supersonic
aircraft obsolete.

But in public
demonstrations, the Avro Disc

bobbled and wobbled, barely
lifting off of the runway.

Were government saucer
projects just a pipe dream,

or a smoke screen?

Following the Avro Disc's
embarrassing failure,

flying saucer research
was sternly denounced as

unfeasible and unwarranted
waste of taxpayer's money.

By December of 1961 the
Air Force officially

withdrew all participation
in the Avro project,

and the hapless
contraption was relegated

to the Air Force Museum
at Fort Eustis, Virginia,

worthy of only collecting dust,

and certainly no match
for the awesome spectacle

of rocketry the world
would experience

for the next three decades.

(rumbling)

Further public
discussion of antigravity

propulsion development
abruptly ceased.

The 1960s found the United
States and the Soviet Union

locked in a Cold
War race to build

superior missile arsenals.

The American public was
overwhelmed with media images

of thundering rocket technology,

the power to challenge the gods,

blasting America
into the Space Age.

The hard reality of
NASA's engineering

eclipsed the nonsense
of flying saucers.

Across America racial
tensions, urban unrest

and the Vietnam War
came to preoccupy

our national consciousness.

Though UFO reports
stubbornly persisted,

the government
maintained a consistent,

hostile, hard line policy
of denial to the subject.

Project Sign, Project
Grudge, Project Bluebook,

the Robertson Panel,
and the Condon Report

were all official government
investigation programs

designed to convince
the public that

nothing out of the
ordinary exists.

The whole mystery
was debunked as

misinterpreted
natural phenomenon,

by uninformed or
unbalanced observers.

But behind closed doors,
surely the subject was taken

as anything but silly.

Clearly, flight capabilities
exhibited by UFOs

would provide the
ultimate weapons advantage

to any nation mastering
flying saucer technology.

Hence official UFO research was
classified above top secret.

While test flights of
exotic black budget aircraft

could be conveniently
hidden behind

a smokescreen of UFO confusion.

Practical examples of
black budget research

and development, revealed
over time to the public,

have been the U-2
and SR-71 Blackbird

high-altitude spy
planes, as well as the

F-117 Stealth Fighter, and
the B-2 Stealth Bomber.

But tales abound of top secret

government saucer
projects as well.

According to researcher
Michael Schratt,

in 1967, Mr. Jack D. Pickett,

retired World War II combat
veteran and publisher,

claims he saw four flying
saucers of different sizes

at MacDill Air Force
Base in Florida.

(dramatic music)
- This is Jack Pickett.

40 years ago he was a publisher
of US Military magazines.

He even had positive
security clearance.

On a visit to MacDill Air
Force Base in Florida,

he was convinced he saw real

American Air Force
flying saucers.

- There was no mistaking
what they were,

they were flying saucers,
there was for them

parked in a row down
in that restricted area

of the base, and they
ranged in size from

20 feet across,
to about 45 feet,

to say 70 feet, and
then the biggest one

was 119-feet across,
perfect circles.

(dramatic music)
- Jack Pickett had been

invited to the Air Force
base to write an article

on the recently
decommissioned aircraft.

Pickett was even
shown some remarkable

photographs of the
aircraft in the hangar.

- He showed me photographs
of many of these

aircraft in flight,
in formation.

He showed me photographs
of them with jet escorts,

regular type escorts,
flying with them.

- [Narrator] Military researcher
Michael Schratt has been

investigating the Pickett
story for the last 10 years.

- [Jack] This one
was 119-feet across--

- [Narrator] Schratt has
worked closely with Pickett,

to produce a series of
photo-reconstructions of

the experimental aircraft
which Pickett saw.

(tense music)

What Pickett was shown,
seemed incredible,

but was assured that
indeed, these were real

experimental flying
saucers, and this was

the evidence that they
had actually flown.

- Well I said "Well how fast
do they fly and how high?"

He says "Well we achieved
space flight with them."

And uh, I asked him pointedly,
any aircraft that flew

that high and that fast why
are you discontinuing them,

why are you scraping them?

He says "Well, we've
designed better versions with

"less maneuverability problems."

- [Narrator] Pickett
wrote his article, and was

ready to publish, but at the
last moment the Air Force

withdrew permission and took
back all Pickett's photographs.

He stands by his story,

and remains convinced
of what he saw.

- Well, I saw the photographs
of them in flight.

I walked up and touched the
actual aircraft themselves.

I really examined them.

And it was, no question
about it, it was

a remarkable aircraft
and it looked just

exactly like what flying saucers
are supposed to look like.

In between--
- Michael Schratt is convinced

by all the evidence, that indeed

Jack Pickett's story is true.

- I believe that these
were the original,

true, authentic articles,
because I've spoken

to Jack for over four years now,

he's remained
consistent throughout,

never changed his story.

The aircraft that Jack
kicked the tires on

were capable of 15,500
miles per hour and I think

that's one of the
reasons why it's still

classified to this day.

- [Narrator] North of
Los Vegas, Nevada, on the

Nellis Air Force Base Test
Range, in the Groom Mountains,

is the location of
the famed Area 51.

Over the last three decades
this base has become legendary

as the home to our military's
most highly guarded aircraft.

Otherwise known as Dreamland,

this area is notorious
as well for more radical

aircraft designs,
including flying saucers.

- [Narrator] If alien
technology has been recovered by

the government, it could
represent the ultimate

weapons system, a system
that no government

would want to see in
the hands of another.

In the Nevada
desert for example,

a top secret, highly
secure military base

known as Area 51,
is where witnesses

and informed sources have
repeatedly seen flying saucers,

which they say are
of alien origin.

- I saw eight other ones, yeah.

- [Narrator] Former
government scientist

Bob Lazar says the
discs are being studied,

so that their military
potential can be exploited.

- The field that's
generated will disable

electronic equipment,
it could be,

it could actually be the
ultimate weapon there is.

- I'm convinced that we
do have recovered craft,

and that the propulsion
system associated with

those craft is so sensitive
that it is related to defense.

And quite obviously, that
has to be covered up.

- [Narrator] Jim Good
believes that national

security is one reason
that governments won't talk

about recovered discs,
and he agrees that such

technology has likely
been studied at Area 51.

Bob Dean thinks it would be
difficult for the government

to make a limited
announcement, because any

official acknowledgement would
open a floodgate of sources.

- We've got astronauts,
top military people,

who are willing to tell
us, in an open forum,

what they've seen and
what they've experienced,

if they can be guaranteed
that their careers

and their families are
not gonna be endangered.

- [Narrator] Area 51's
Lockheed Skunk-Works

is the home to classified
aircraft such as the

F-117 Stealth Fighter.

Former Skunk-Works
Director, Ben Rich,

seemed quite at home
with the idea of

exotic UFO technologies, and
publicly admitted as much.

"We now have the
technology to take ET home.

"No it won't take someone's
lifetime to do it.

"We now have the capability
to travel to the stars.

"First you have to
understand that we will not

"get to the stars using
chemical propulsion."

As well, Rich emphasized,

all points in space-time
are connected.

Having served as
Director from 1975

to 1991, Rich is also
quoted as saying,

"Anything you can imagine,
we already know how to do."

As well, Director Ben
Rich Candidly admitted

alien collusion with some of our

aerospace engineering success.

There are two types of
UFOs, the ones we build,

and the ones they build.

We learned from both
crash retrievals

and actual hand-me-downs.

Nearly all biomorphic,
aerospace designs

were inspired by the
Roswell spacecraft.

From Clarence Kelly Johnson's
SR-71 Blackbird onward,

to today's drones, UCAVs,
and aerospace craft.

As far back as 1990,

spacecraft design
specialist David Froning,

from McDonald-Douglas
Corporation,

who had been on contract
to NASA as well,

addressing an audience
of astrophysicists,

astronomers and engineers,
at a University of Arizona

symposium, candidly admitted,
obsolete rocket science

has been replaced with
modified field propulsion,

antigravity,
matter/anti-matter conversion,

exotic field tension,
time-travel, and
trans-luminal flight,

faster-than-light travel.

Later in 1990 the respected
Aviation Week & Space

Technology Magazine confirmed
development of exotic

top secret flight machines.

In two feature articles,
the lid was ever-so

slightly lifted on
super-classified projects

underway at Nellis Air
Force Base in Nevada,

and Edwards Air Force
Base in California.

Both bases have been
home to classified

vehicles for decades.

The number and sophistication
of new aircraft

appear to have increased
sharply over the last 10 years.

Vehicles now fly from
these well-guarded sites

include both manned
and un-manned

supersonic capable aircraft,
designed to perform

strategic
reconnaissance and other

less-conventionally
defined missions.

Aviation Week went
on to say, there was

substantial evidence that
another family of craft

exists that relies on
exotic propulsion and

aerodynamic schemes not fully
understood at this time.

There are bigger and
better things out there.

Other reports more
bluntly stated,

"There are things being
flown over the Nevada desert

"that would make
George Lucas drool."

One Air Force Officer
boldly declared,

"We are testing vehicles
that defy description.

"To compare them to the
SR-71 Blackbird Spy Plane

"would be like comparing
Leonardo da Vinci's

"parachute design to
the space shuttle."

Despite oppressive security,

stories of exotic
aerospace vehicles persist.

In 2001, whistleblower
Gary McKinnon,

a British citizen
and computer genius,

claimed to have hacked
into 53 United States

government agency
computer systems,

including the United States
Space Command Network,

where he found evidence of an
off-planet military mission.

"I found a list of officers'
names under the heading

"Non-Terrestrial Officers.

"What I think it means
is not Earth-based.

"I found a list of
fleet-to-fleet transfers

"and a list of ship names.

"I looked them up.

"They weren't United
States Navy ships.

"What I saw made me
believe they have some kind

"of space ship off-planet."

(dramatic music)

- [Narrator] Do we
dare believe a covert

space faring civilization
totally separate

from our every day reality
has been engineered

with black budget monies
over the last 50 years?

What purpose would a secret
Star Trek fleet serve

to a nation that is
already a locked-down

national security state?

On January 7th, 1958,
Senator Lyndon Johnson

made this cryptic
statement concerning the

future status of our
national defense,

and the race for space.

"Control of space means
control of the world.

"From space the Masters
of Infinity would have

"the power to control
the Earth's weather,

"to cause drought and flood,

"to change the tides and
raise the levels of the sea.

"To divert the Gulf
Stream and change

"temperate climates to frigid.

"There is something
more important than

"the ultimate weapon, and
that's the ultimate position.

"The position of total
control over the Earth,

"that lies somewhere
in outer space."

Is UFO propulsion really
as far beyond human reach

as we've been led to believe?

A chain of circumstantial
evidence certainly

points to the possibility
that such technology

has been secretly
advanced on Earth

at least since World War II.

Evidence further
suggests that even now,

this technology
continues to be developed

behind closed doors,
black rope projects

protected from public scrutiny

behind the cloak of
national security,

financed by black
budgets, likely provide

necessary support
for these activities.

Secrecy and a careful
program of disinformation

keeps the population
at large ignorant of

the true nature
of these projects.

With this in mind
combined with the evidence

examined herein, it
is not inconceivable

that saucer craft built
by the United States

government have deliberately
posed as alien ships

to mislead the public.

The evidence is
compelling enough for

researcher William
Hamilton to state,

- Well guess what,
that's the real reality.

What you've been living
in, your everyday life,

worried about gas prices
(chuckles), or the ball game.

Or your next vacation
at Disneyland.

Is a world of fantasy,

that's been created for you,

to keep you entertained.

There are two nations,
here in the United States.

- [Narrator] Researcher,
author, and UFO disclosure

advocate Richard Dolan states,

"The basic idea of the
breakaway civilization

"is simply that you
have a secret group,

"a classified group of people,

"with access to radically
advanced technology,

"radically advanced science,

"and they just don't share it
with the rest of the world.

"One scientific breakthrough
leads to another,

"and that leads to
another, and so on.

"So the next thing
you know, you have a

"separate group of humanity,
that is vastly far beyond

"the rest of the world.

"I should think that members
of the breakaway civilization

"might despair of ever
educating the rest of humanity

"on what is going on.

"Their own reality is probably
so far beyond our own,

"they may rightfully ask,
how can they bring us

"up to speed without
causing a worldwide,

"psychological meltdown?"

Since the 1960s the
black ops community

directly involved with exotic
antigravity technologies

has become so far removed
from mainstream Americana,

that it has evolved
into a separate,

secret, high-tech
empire unto itself.

An elitist, hybrid civilization,
literally disintegrated

from its parent civilization,

leaving the rest of
unenlightened humanity

technologically and
politically irrelevant.

Skunk-Works Director
Ben Rich openly boasted,

(dramatic music)
- We already have the means

to travel among the stars,
but these technologies

are locked up in black
projects, and it would take

an act of God to
ever get them out for

the benefit of humanity.

- [Narrator] This arrogant
declaration begs the question,

if these technologies
don't benefit humanity,

just who do they benefit?

Is a secret space fleet
the ultimate protection

of the human race, or
the ultimate threat?

Just as W. A. Harbinson's
cautionary novel,

Genesis, warned, since
World War II advanced

secret UFO technologies
have been sequestered,

with the intent of serving
a malevolent agenda

for complete global domination.
