SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis’ Incredible Secret Technology (58 page)

Note also that the first statement “WE HAVE EXPERIENCEDPARETO IN KOHTOPA AND CANNOT GO ANY FURTHER WITH TEST. WHAT ARE YOUR RESULTS? OUR GROUP REQUIRES YOUR DATA FOR COMPARISON. CAN YOU ARRANGE IT? OUR RESULTS WHERE LESS SPECTACULAR WITH VERONEZ SITE AND DENERATED DISCLOUSE TO MOD AND KGB OFFICIALS. WE HAD HOPED FOR POSITIVE CONTACT BUT WAS NOT TO BE. WE COULD’T KEEP PRESS OUT OF IT. DID YOU EXPERIENCE THE SAME AT DREAMLAND?” also suggests some sort of Two Space Program Hypothesis, and a very secret one at that.

ANALYSIS:

Note that the clear implication is that MJ-12 was involved in the death of Secretary of War James Forrestal, a death many have long considered suspicious: “
In protecting the security operations of MAJESTIC, it has been necessary to ???????????????????
individuals who would compromise the intelligence efforts. While distasteful ???????????????????????t times, the use of
???????????????????? measures have been executed. The
untimely death of Secretary Forrestal, was deemed necessary and inevitable.”
This calls for some speculation. Assuming that the relationship between Operation Highjump, possible (though improbable) Nazi survival in the Antarctic, and the Roswell crash and recovery are all related, might Forrestal have been privy to the deep cover “ET hypothesis” disinformation plans of MJ-12 and objected to them? Might he therefore have been considered “unreliable” or a risk to the long term, and apparently “globalcidal” goals of the group, as alleged by Cooper’s source? If so, he would have been eliminated. Equally, if some rapprochement was struck between MJ-12 on behalf of the US Government and any independently surviving group of Nazis, and had Forrestal known of it, he most likely would have registered severe objections, and again been eliminated. We will most likely never know for certain, but the possibilities bear mentioning.

TOP SECRET

I have considered the disposition of the material in possession of the Army that may be of great significance toward the development of a super weapon of war. I disagree with the argument that such information should be shared with our ally the Soviet Union. Consultation with Dr. Bush and other scientists on the issue of finding practical uses for the atomic secrets learned from study of celestial devices precludes any further discussion and I therefore authorize Dr. Bush to proceed with the project without further delay. This information is vital to the nation’s superiority and must remain within the confines of state secrets.
Any further discussion on the matter will be restricted to General Donovan, Dr. Bush, the Secretary of War and yourself. The challenge our nation faces is daunting and perilous in this undertaking and I have committed the resources of the government towards that end. You have my assurance that when circumstances are favorable and we are victorious, the Army will have the fruits of research in exploring further applications of this new wonder.

You may speak to me about this if the above is not wholly clear.

I agree with the OSRD
²²
proposal of the recommendation put forward by Dr. Bush and Professor Einstein that a separate program be initiated at the earliest possible time. I also agree that
application of non-terrestrial know how in atomic energy must be used in perfecting super weapons of war to affect the complete defeat of Germany and Japan.
In view of the cost already incurred in the atomic bomb program, it would, at this time, be difficult to approve without further support of the Treasury Department and the military. I therefore have decided to forego such a enterprise. From the point of view of the informed members of the United States, our principle object is not to engage in exploratory research of this kind but to win the war as soon as possible.

Various points have been raised about the difficulties such an endeavor would pose to the already hardened research for advanced weapons programs and support groups in our war effort and I agree that now is not the time. It is my personal judgement that, when the war is won, and peace is once again restored, there will come a time when surplus funds may be available to pursue a program devoted to understanding non-terrestrial science and its technology which is still greatly undiscovered.
I have had private discussions with Dr. Bush on this subject and the advice of several eminent scientists who believe the
United States should take every advantage of such wonders that have come to
us.
I have heard the arguments of General Marshall and other members of the military that
the United States must assume its destiny in this matter for the sake of the Nation’s security in the postwar world and I have given assurances that such will be the case.

I appreciate the effort and time spent in producing valuable insights into the proposal to find ways of advancing our technology and national progress and in coming to grips with the reality that our planet is not the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe. I also commend the committee for the organization and planning that is evident in Dr. Bush’s proposal and the delicate way in which it was presented. I trust the committee will appreciate the situation on which this office must render its decision.

ANALYSIS:

From the foregoing alleged letters to Secretary of War General Marshall from President Franklin Roosevelt, we are in a position to draw some tentative conclusions:

1. The US retrieved craft with extraordinary technology earlier than Roswell, ca. 1941-42, most likely the alleged Cape Girardeau and Louisiana crashes noted previously. Given that the Nazi projects are at this time nowhere near the degree of progress they would be by the end of the war and after, we may reasonably assume that these recovered aircraft do not originate there.

2. Two conclusions follow from this:

a. Given allegations of similar crashes in Fascist Italy ca 1933 and Nazi Germany ca 1936 as recounted in
Reich of the Black Sun
and elsewhere, it is
possible
that the US, Italy and Germany were all in the possession of extraterrestrial technology which each nation began to back-engineer. This would square with some interpretations of the off-the-record remarks made by Von Braun and Von Karmann to Twining as recorded by Col. Corso and mentioned later in this chapter and in
Reich of the Black Sun.
²³
An important question thus ensues:
Why
were these nations in possession of recovered craft? It is peculiar that it appears that these three major combatants alone were in possession of this technology. It should be noted that the alleged Italian and German crashes occurred prior to the announcement of nuclear fission’s discovery by Otto Hahn in 1938, thus making it possible that this research itself was part of the process of back engineering. Given also that it appears from the data presented in
Reich of the Black Sun
that Germany was enriching uranium on a massive scale ca. as early as 1940, this may be a possible explanation.

b. The alternative explanation is that the crash and recovered vehicle themselves are not extraterrestrial, but stem from some independent terrestrially based group pursuing its own technological developments and that
these
vehicles crashed and were recovered by the Germans, Italians, and Americans. They may represent therefore a continuation of the 1890s “Air Ship Mystery”.
²⁴
In support of this contention the following MJ-12 document should be noted:

8. Document 9: Recovered, Reconstructed, and Test-Flown “S” Aircraft and Paper Clip Assistance:

4-15

THE “LOANED” AIRCRAFT WAS ACQUIRED IN 1945 FROM THE AIR TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMAND (ATSC, NOW AEDC, AIR FORCE SYSTEMS COMMAND). THE “S” AIRCRAFT WAS WAS(SIC.) DESIGNED FROM A AERODYNE RECOVERED IN 1942 IN LOUSIANA. RECONSTRUCTION COMMENCED IN 1945 WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF GERMAN SCIENTISTS AT WRIGHT FIELD. PROPULSION PROGRAMS TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE ATOMIC POWER PLANT FOUND ON THE AERODYNE CAPTURED IN LOUSIANA AND INTEGRATED THE MAGNETIC DRIVE SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY TESLA.
THE AAF HOPED TO INTRODUCE THIS CRAFT IN WAR, BUT RESOURCES AND MONEY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. FUNDING WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO R&D UNTIL 1946, WHEN LEMAY TOOK OVER THE PROJECT.
THE S CRAFT COULD TAKE OFF VERTCALLY (SIC) AND REACH ALTITUDES AS HIGH AS 90,000 FEET AT SUPERSONIC SPEEDS.
THE CONTROLS WERE ELECTRONIC FLY BY WIRE AND THE PILOT LOOKED AT PROJECTION OF SYMBOLS ON A TRANSARENT SCREEN. THE CRAFT WAS SO COMPLICATED THAT
TEST PILOTS HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY IN HIGH PERFORMANCE AT VERY HIGH ALTITUDES. SEVERAL TEST PILOTS WERE KILLED AS A RESULT OF DECOMPRESSION AND EJECTION. CAPSULE OR ESCAPE CYLINDERS WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR HIGH ALTITUDE EJECTIONS.
AS A RESULT, ONE “S” CRAFT WAS LOST. THE MATERIALS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION BY HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY FAILED TO PROTECT THE TEST PILOTS IN MAXIMUM THROTTLE SETTINGS AND EXPOSED THEM TO HIGH DOSE OF RADIATION WHICH RESULTED IN SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH. TEST FLIGHTS CONTINUED OVER THE WSPG IN EARLY 1947 AT KIRTLAND AAF, AND AT ALAMOGORDO AAF TULAROSA RANGE WITH BETTER RESULTS TO FLIGHT PERFORMANCE. BUT EXPOSURE TO THE RADIATION FROM THE ATOMIC ENGINE CONTINUED.
IN 1947, THE “S” CRAFT WAS MODIFIED TO CARRY ATOMIC WEAPONS OVER LONG DISTANCES. BUT HIGH ALTITUDE FLIGHT SIMULATIONS AND PILOT SURVIBAILITY WAS STILL A PROBLEM.
BELL AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN THE CONTRACT FOR A ROCKET-POWERED AIRCRAFT TEST BED TO RECORD FLIGHT DATA AT SUPERSONIC SPEEDS AS A PROBLEM SOLVING LABORATORY. DATA COLLECTED FROM X-1 AIRCRAFT WAS UTILIZED FOR DESIGN MODIFICATION OF “S” CRAFT AERODYNAMIC TESTS AND LANGELY. RADIATION PROBLEMS PROMPTED A CHANGE IN THINKING IN THE TEST PILOT PROGRAM PROMPTED A NEW PILOT “MODEL” EXPERIMENT USING ALTERNATE CHOICE OF SUBJECTS AND SERVICES, AND
WAS GIVEN SPECIAL STATUS EQUAL TO THE SECURITY OF THE ATOMIC BOMB PROGRAM. AT LEAST A DOZEN “S” CRAFT WERE BUILT AND TEST FLOWN.
THREE WERE LOST DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE AND PILOT ERROR. TWO MORE “S” CRAFT WERE LOST ALONG WITH FIVE FATALITIES, THAT CAUSED THE AAF TO CANCEL THE PROJECT INDEFINITELY. ALL SIMILAR “WING” AIRCRAFT PROJECTED FOR SERVICE IN AAF WERE LIKEWISE CANCELLED IN 1949 AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF GENERAL LEMAY. FUTURE ATOMIC-POWERED AIRCRAFT WERE “PILOTLESS” AND WOULD BE CONTROLLED REMOTELY. THE AF WOULD NOT RESUME TESTING OF “LOANED” AERODYNES UNTIL PILOT SAFETY ISSUES WERE SATISFIED AND A MORE SECURE TEST RANGE COULD BE USED FOR AEROSPACE R&D PROGRAMS. AREA 51 IS BUT ONE SUCH RANGE AMONG THE SECRET TEST SITES NOW IN OPERATION. A SPECIAL RECOVERY AND SECURITY UNIT CALLED S.T.U.D.S., WAS CREATED IN THE LATE 1980’S TO FACILITATE THE SERVICING OF
NEWER “S” CRAFT FLIGHT TEST OPERATIONS. EFFORTS TO CONCEAL THE TRUE NATURE OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS WERE-SUCCESSFUL IN THAT THE AF DEVISED A COVER INTELLIGENCE PROJECT CALLED BLUE BOOK. PROJECT BLUE BOOK, AS A COVER PROHECT, WAS CONTROLLED BY THE CIA TO PROTECT AF TEST FLIGHT OPERATIONS FROM SPECULATION BY THE PUBLIC, AND CONVINCE THE SOVIETS THAT USAF HAD NO AIRCRAFT CAPABLE OF FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS AND MANEUVERS AS OBSERVED AND REPORTED TO BLUE BOOK AND THE USAF UFO PROGRAM.
IN 1958, PROJECT UFO AND MOON DUST WERE ACTIVATED WHEN USA INTERPLANETARY PHENOMENON UNIT OPERATIONS CEASED AND CIC RESPONSIBILITY FOR UFO SECURITY WAS TRANSFERRED TO USAFOSI.
