- [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.

Half ahead. (metallic ratcheting)

(eerie tense music)

Collision speed, full!

(bells ringing) - Collision speed full!

(sinister music) (powerful humming)

(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! - I see 'em!

(guns firing)

- [Gunner] He's coming around, I'm on him!

(machine guns firing) - Come on you bastard kraut,

come to Poppa!

Yeah, whoo I got 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.
