SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis’ Incredible Secret Technology (74 page)

FBI UFO Document

Redfern notes that the FBI was in receipt of this memorandum on “18 July, 1946,”
¹⁰
a fact which is interesting in and of itself, since in 1947, if one believes the Allied Legend, no one but America was supposed to have atomic bombs! But that anyone could
orbit
them on remotely-guided satellites was still only an idea on the drawing boards, though it had been on the Nazis’ drawing boards long before anyone it was on anyone else’s.

In November of 1957, however, the FBI received one of its most interesting reports in its Detroit office. Barring the FBI’s censoring of the name of the witness in the report, the report itself is extremely significant, since it is the eyewitness testimony of a Polish prisoner-of-war to the extraordinary technology he saw being tested by the Germans:

(Witness was) born February 19, 1926, in the State of Warsaw, Poland, (and) was brought from Poland as a Prisoner of War to Gut Alt Golssen approximately 30 miles east of Berlin, Germany, in May, 1942, where he remained until a few weeks after the end of World War II. He spent the following years at Displaced Persons Camps at Kork, Strasburg, Offenburg, Milheim and Freiburg, Germany. He attended a radio technician school at Freiburg and for about a year was employed in a textile mill at Laurachbaden, Germany. He arrived in the united States at New York, May 2, 1951, via the “SS General Stewart” as a Displaced Person…

According to (witness), during 1944, month not recalled, while enroute to work in a field a short distance north of Gut Alt Golssen, their tractor engine stalled on a road through a swamp area. No machinery or other vehicle was then visible although a noise was heard described as a high-pitched whine similar to that produced by a large electric generator.

An “SS” guard appeared and talked briefly with the German driver of the tractor, who waited five to ten minutes, after which the noise stopped and the tractor engine was started normally. Approximately 3 hours later in the same swamp area, but away from the road where the work crew was cutting “hay,” he surreptitiously, because of the German in charge of the crew and “SS” guards in the otherwise deserted area, observed a circular enclosure approximately 100 to 150 yards in diameter protected from viewers by a tarpaulin-type wall approximately 50 feet high, from which a vehicle was observed to slowly rise vertically to a height sufficient to clear the wall and then to move slowly horizontally a short distance out of his view, which was obstructed by nearby trees.

This vehicle, observed from approximately 500 feet, was described as circular in shape, 75 to 100 yards in diameter, and about 14 feet high, consisting of dark gray stationary top and bottom sections, five to six feet high. The approximate three foot middle section appeared to be a rapidly moving component producing a continuous blur similar to an aeroplane propeller, but extending the circumference of the vehicle so far as could be observed. The noise emanating from the vehicle was similar but of somewhat lower pitch than the noise previously heard. The engine of the tractor again stalled on this occasion and no effort was made by the German driver to start the engine until the noise stopped, after which the engine started normally.

None of this is the standard fare for the Nazi UFO Legend, for even the place of its testing – Gut Alt Golssen – is a far cry from Prague or Breslau. Nor is a Polish prisoner of war likely to be eager to fabricate anything that would make the Nazis look good.

According to Redfern, a similar account, dated June 8, 1967, also was found in the FBI’s declassified UFO files. It reads as follows:

On April 26, 1967, (source) appeared at the Miami Office and furnished the following information relating to an object, presently referred to as an unidentified flying object, he allegedly photographed during November, 1944.

Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he was released from this duty and was assigned as a test pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria. During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio-controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft. He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was (witness’s) responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet).

According to (witness) the above aircraft was designed and engineered by a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown to him. (Witness) also assumed the secrets pertaining to this aircraft were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26 airplane.

Clearly at least some in the US government’s many intelligence agencies were interested in the possibility of Nazi origins for some of the observed UFOs that began invading American airspace after World War Two.

These documents, unlike the Cooper-Cantwheel MAJIC-12 documents, are undeniably authentic. One does not have to place them in a gray area between “genuine” and “complete hoax” to appreciate their significance. And this should give one pause, for they corroborate what those MAJIC-12 themselves seem to imply: that
someone
, somewhere, in the confusing tangle of US intelligence agencies, was keeping track of the Nazi angle on UFOs, and that they were perhaps worried about a continued independent covert development of the exotic technology they displayed. The documents that Redfern uncovers in fact corroborate the general scenarios outlined in our own examination and analysis of the Cooper-Cantwheel MAJIC-12 documents.

However one slices it, there
is
a clear documentary indication of Nazi association with the development of at least some of the technology associated with UFO technology.

But more extraordinary is that one detects, at various levels, all the elements involved in Kennedy’s assassination. And that may be significant in and of itself, an indicator, perhaps, that the “Brotherhood’s” involvement in the murder was ultimately motivated by technological considerations, and financially backed by the world’s largest – and well known – corporations. This surely was not the only motivation for the assassination, but, in alliance with threatened “big oil” and banking interests, it was a powerful one. If Kennedy had been successful in smashing the CIA or in joint space cooperation with the Soviets, then this might have exposed a hidden secret space program and its secret technology.

In this context, recall that one of the MAJIC-12 documents indicated that President Nixon privatized the alleged secret UFO study-and-action group. In this context, it is perhaps apparent, that there was not really any reason for him to do so. It had been independent since the end of the war.

But ultimately, what was at stake, beyond this technology and the power it represented?

One answer, perhaps, was allegedly given by Dr. Werner Von Braun himself to his former assistant at Fairchild Industries, Dr. Carol Rosin. Von Braun had retired – or perhaps had “been retired” – to Fairchild Industries from NASA after his Lunar Neutral Point discrepancy revelations to
Time
magazine. Rosin describes Von Braun’s “dying message” to her:

When I was a Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries from 1974 through 1977, I met the late Dr. Werner Von Braun. We first met in early 1974. At that time, Von Braun was dying of cancer but he assured me that he would live a few more years to tell me about the game that was being played – that game being the effort to weaponize space, to control the Earth from space and space itself. Von Braun had a history of working with weapons systems. He escaped from Germany
¹⁴
to come to this country and became a Vice President of Fairchild Industries, when I had met him. Von Braun’s purpose during the last years of his life, his dying years, was to educate the public and decision-makers about why space-based weapons are dumb, dangerous, destabilizing, too costly, unnecessary, unworkable, and an undesirable idea, and about the alternatives that are available.

As practically a deathbed speech, he educated me about those concepts and who the players were in this game. He gave me the responsibility, since he was dying, of continuing this effort to prevent the weaponization of outer space. When Werner Von Braun was dying of cancer, he asked me to be his spokesperson, to appear on occasions when he was too ill to speak. I did this.

What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence that he said to me over and over again during the approximately four years that I had the opportunity to work with him. He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics. That was how we identify an enemy.

The strategy that Werner Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told they had “killer satellites”. We were told that they were coming to get us and control us – that they were “Commies.”

Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country “crazies.” We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons.

The next enemy was asteroids. Now, at that point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it. Asteroids – against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons.

And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. “And remember, Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens, and all of it is a lie.

...

The last card that was being held was the extraterrestrial enemy card. The intensity with which he said that, made me realize that he knew something that he was too afraid to mention. He was too afraid to talk about it. He would not tell me the details. I am not sure I would have absorbed them if he had told me the details or even believed him in 1974. But there was no question that that man knew and had a need to know, I found out later.
¹⁵

Rosin makes clear subsequently in her statements that she personally believes in extraterrestrials in the standard sense, that she also makes clear her personal opposition to space-based weapons,
¹⁶
and does all this in a manner that suggests that Von Braun was implying that “E.T.” was merely being misunderstood by a trigger-happy American military. In other words, the “lie” Von Braun referred to was that “ET” was being covered up and misunderstood.

But it is not at all obvious from Von Braun’s alleged remarks to her that this is the only interpretation nor even the
best
one. After all, Von Braun had been part of the world’s
first
space program and the first attempt to weaponize space, a program that outlined, long in advance of their realization, the steps necessary to place “killer satellites” in orbit: Nazi Germany’s. And Von Braun’s associate at Peenemünde, Dr. Kurt Debus – a high voltage expert – was also involved with The Bell. Debus subsequently became a director at the Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida during the Apollo project, a strange position for an expert in high voltage to be in during the world’s first manner Lunar landing program. Von Braun’s remarks might, therefore, be interpreted to mean a
planned deception
, brought about by technology – the “ET Threat” – to be met with another deception, also brought about by technology: space-based weapons for “defense” against “ET” and the occasional large asteroid that wanders too close. And consider, too, that if the weapons are powerful enough to blow apart a large asteroid, what might they do if directed against the earth?
