- VESCO.TXT by Al PintoWe, because of the inf
- initesimal size of the Universe, can quite easily say that the probability of the Earth being the only planet inhabited by intelligent being
- s is not logical. However, while there is research going on today inorder to prove the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) by
- listening in on the radio waves of space, I wonder; have we been contacted already? Is there something in the UFO phenomenon that proves th
- e existence of extraterrestrials? Let's look at the facts. Thousands of people from all around the world report the sightings of strange ae
- rial phenomenon every year. It has been going on for many years, but not as much as from 1947 to present. Due to the fact that so many peop
- le have seen objects in the sky that they can't identify, we could at least admit that there is sufficient reason to believe that UFO's exis
- t. We can't scientifically prove their existence just based on that fact but we can't ignore it either. So our next logical step would be to
- get more data. Is the origin of all UFO's extraterrestrial? Is there a possibiliy that atleast some may come from Earth and Earth technolo
- gy? The answer to that question is yes, some are Earth originated. People can easily mistake a plane or helicopter flying at night as a UFO
- and have already. Some even thought that Venus was one. However, while most UFO's could be explained, there are an astonishing number of rep
- orts that cannot. They include reports from people such as police chiefs, scientists, pilots, and most interestingly, astronauts. There is p
- lenty of information publically available that is reputable about details of their encounters. Our next step should be to concentrate on the
- se unexplainable sightings. Out of these, is it still possible that the object could come from Earth? Dr. Renato Vesco thought so. In his bo
- ok Intercept UFO, he writes about his experience and information with Nazi Germany. I am going to include a paper written by him but first l
- et me tell you his credentials. Renato Vesco is a fully liscensed aircraft engineer and a specialist in aerospace and
- ramjet developements. He attended the University of Rome and, before WWII, studied at the German Institute for Aerial De
- velopement. During the war, Vesco worked with the Germans at the Fiat Lake Garda secret installations in Italy. In
- the 1960's, he worked for the Italian Air Ministry of Defense as an undercover technical agent, investigating the UFO mystery
- . He writes: "On November 27, 1944, a B-27 of the United States Air Force, returning from a raid on Speyer, West Germany, enc
- ountered a huge, orange colored light moving upward at an estimated speed of 500 MPH. When the pilots reported, sector radar had reported ne
- gatively, because nothing had registered on the screen. But the object seen by the returning bomber was only the first of numerous others s
- potted by American pilots over wartime Germany and promptly baptized 'foo-fighters.' Fighter pilots Falls and Backer. of the 415th Squadron,
- reported such an encounter a month later forcing the Air Force to admit that such objects might exist. Later encounters with foo fighters l
- ed experts to assume they were German inventions of a new order employed to baffle radar. How close they came to the truth, they learned onl
- y when the war was over and Allied Intelligence teams moved into the secret Nazi plants. The foo-fighters seen by American pilots were only
- a minor demonstration, afraction of a vast variety of methods used to confuse radar and interrupt electro magnetic currents. Work on the Ge
- rman anti-radar Feurball, or fireball, had been speeded up during the fall of 1944 at a Luftwaffe experimental center near Oberammergau, Bav
- aria. There, and at the aeronautical establishment at Weiner Neustadt, the first fireballs were produced. Later, when the Russians moved clo
- ser to Austria, the workshops producing the fireballs were moved to Black Forest. Fast and remote controlled, the fireballs, equipped with k
- liston tubes and operating on the same frequency as Allied radar, could eliminate the blips from screens and remain practically invisible to
- ground control.The Nazi Feurball failed to interfere with the Allied air offensive. The foo fighters had been launched too late and could n
- o longer change the course of events, but in themselves they were significant not only because they were the outcome of a technical evolutio
- n which could have led to more dangerous weapons, but also because they showed that Nazi technology had moved in a direction far beyond anyt
- hing expected by Allied Intelligence.As the fall of Germany approached, the Nazi Leaders reverted to an ambitious project created by Gauleit
- er Franz Hofer who had become high commissioner for the Italian Tyrol and the Southern Alps. The project foresaw setting up an incredible fo
- rtress in the mountains, including parts of Italy, Austria and Bavaria. Hofer submitted his plan to Hitler's aide, Martin Bormann in Novembe
- r 1944, but he had prepared for this moment back in 1938 when Nazi agents carefully mapped all mountain passes, caves, bridges, highways, an
- d located sights for underground factories, munitions dumps, arms and food caches. To complete work on this fortress, Hofer demanded a slave
- labor force of a quarter of a million- 70% Austrian workers and 30% men of the Tyrolese home guard. So-called U-Plants were to be set up un
- derground as gigantic workshops and launching pads for the secret weopons which were to turn the tide of the war in favor of the Nazis. Amon
- g these were some 74 tunnels along Lake Garda, in Northern Italy, which were to be adapted and transformed into a vast assembly plant by FIA
- T of Turin in close collaboration with the department of Minister Albert Speer. Seven other tunnels along Lake Garda, near Limone, were to p
- roduce several weapons tested at the Hermann Goering Institute of Riva del Garda.According to the archives of the German High Command and of
- the Allied Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee, other plants in vital areas of Central Germany, code named M-Werke, were to prod
- uce powerful missles such as the giant A.9/A.10 destined to destroy New York and Washington. But most important was the Alpine area, for it
- was from there that the supreme weapons were to come.This report, never released by the Allies, was made by a French diplomat. It was forwar
- ded to Free French Intelligence Headquarters at Algiers. The top secret report reffered to the blue clouds as something approaching anti-air
- craft projectiles based on the grisou (fire damp) gas found in mines, and which had been succesfully tried against other bombers over Lake G
- arda. The French report was intercepted by Italian agents and deciphered at SID (Italian Counter-Intelligence) Headquarters at Castiglione d
- ella Stiviere. The message was later captured by a military intelligence team operating for the eighth Army in Italy. The contents of the m
- essage was no novelty to the Allies. Already, some time ago, shortly after the bombing of Dresden, British and American intelligence had obt
- ained a brief account concerning the use of some such weapon used against a group of twelve American bombers. That message, which came from
- an agent in Switzerland attached to Allen Dulle's team, also stated the attacker had been a "strange hemispherical object which flew at fant
- astic speeds and destroyed the bombers without using firearms.' Then, after the German surrender in May, 1945, a team of British agents, inv
- estigating the files of some of the underground factories in Black Forest, discovered that a large number of documents concerned 'important
- experiments made with liquid oxygen for new turbine engines capable of developing extraordinary power.'Other documents described the use of
- 'gaseous explosives' which had been originally tested in Austria in 1936. Their existence was later confirmed by the ALSOS Mision and by Dr.
- Hans Friedrich Gold, of the Laboratory for Aeronautical Research at Volkenrode. The ejection of gas explosives had been part of the program
- tackled by researchers on Lake Garda and later tested with success by the circular flying object against Allied bombers.This object, in Ger
- man military files, already had an operational name: 'Round Lightning' (Kugelblitz) Long and close observation between the special Air Resea
- rch Corps of the SS, Austrian research centers in Vienna, the Hermann Goering Works and the vast complex of underground G-Works had previous
- ly produced amazing improvement on the fireball or foo-fighter which, despite it's anti-radar effectiveness, remained comparatively harmless
- . But by combining the principle of the aircraft with a round, symetrical plane with direct gyroscopic stabilization, employing an ejector-g
- un using grisou and a gelatinous organic/mettalic fuel for a total reaction turbine, adding remote control, vehicle take off, infrared seeki
- ng equipment and electrostatic firing systems, the harmless fireball became the lethal Kugelblitz!Believe me, I can prove what I say. The Ku
- gelblitz, to be on the safe side, employed, in addition to it's electrostatic firing system, a similar system based on short waves and built
- by the Patent Verwertungs Gesselschaft of Salzburg, Austria. The whole thing formed one compact, round mass which had absolutely nothing in
- common with any flying object ever produced before.In documents found by British Intelligence teams and submitted to the British Intelligen
- ce Objectives Sub-Committee-documents which I have been able to study-these and many other details are known. They can be found in the Sub-C
- ommittee's Final Report Number 61 on the 'Weapons Section of the L.F.A., Volkenrode.'Kugelblitz, together with it's "younger brothers of the
- fireball, lens shaped bomb and other weapons, began the real history of the UFO's. In itself, it was a second generation fireball.The 'roun
- d lightning' weapon, the incredibly fast and mysterious disk-shaped craft that had been rumored and sighted in action, was used only once. A
- s the Allied forces crossed the Rhine, the only craft of it's type was destroyed by th SS on instructions from Berlin, to prevent it's captu
- re. But ever since, due to the severe censorship imposed by 'T' force of the British Army in Germany, and later, thanks to the complete blac
- kout imposed by London, nothing more was heard of Round Lightning. I know that agents of the 'T' force camp at Bad Gandersheim closely exami
- ned the documents found in the G-Works, documents which had been elaborated by the technical general staff of the SS and by technical contro
- l of the Henshel and Zeppelin works. These documents concern the propulsion unit of the Kugelblitz prototype built by the Kreislaufbetrieb M
- otor D.W. in 1943 for the F.F.K.F. (Forschungsinstitut for Kraftfhart and Fahzeugmotoren) at Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim and perfected by proff
- essors Kamm and Ernst. The British called this motor an 'oxygen recycle system.' It was later abandoned in favor of the Walter turbine, powe
- red by hydrogen peroxide. The documents found discussed the possibility of using both systems in a compound-type propulsion unit. To these
- basic facts, I must add: A mass of documents and equipment were taken by British 'T' teams to Bedford and then to Canada and Australia. In a
- certain sense, the British were more intelligent than the Americans, for they permitted German scientists to complete their work in Germany
- on the sight where they had worked all through the war-only, of course, under close supervision. This happened at Darmstadt and Goettingen.
- Later on, these installations were dismantled and shipped to Britain. The Transport Service of the British Ministry of Aviation discreetly
- shipped the scientists and documents to Britain, Canada and Australia, in successive phases. Lists of the scientists to be sent overseas had
- been compiled in the spring of 1944 by the B.I.O.S. and formed separate and specialized teams.One such team, composed of Proffessor Ben Loc
- kspeiser and W.J. Richards, Dr. S.H. Hollingdale and Captain A.D. Green, handled 'advanced projects, missles, jet and turbine craft.' Anothe
- r, including T.A. Taylor and M.A. Wheeler, investigated German advances in the field of Thermo-refraction. Another team, which obtained the
- services of Dr. Ernst Westermann, former director of the F.D.R.P. Institutes of Speyer and Saarbrucken, concentrated on the fireball project
- s. The then Ministry of Aircraft Production, similar to the German wartime Jaegerstab, ceased to exist officially on March 31, 1946, amd bec
- ame part of the Ministry of Supply. In the years that followed, these teams, and especially the experts headed by Professor Lockspeiser, wor
- ked on a multitude of German projects, adapting these to their own experiments in the field of 'suction' wings and on the work of two German
- scientists during the war, Professors Prandtl and Busemann, to develope a high speed fighter in which the air intake along the wings was di
- scharged through a half-moon-shaped crescent along the fuselage in order to both drive and support the vehicle at high speeds.This research
- comes to mind when one remembers the incident of January 3, 1956. A cessna, employed on a job of aerial photography near Pasadena, encounter
- ed three circular flying objects which circled it at a speed of 1600 mph and at a distance of two miles. One of these objects, in suddenly b
- reaking away from the formation, gave off a long, vaporous trail as it sped through a cumulous cloud, cutting the cloud in two. 'Exactly as
- if it had sucked up the cloud.,' the Cessna pilot exclaimed later.Back in 1946, the British Broadcasting Corporation announced that Britain
- 'would soon have aircraft capable of speeds well over 1000 mph, that, according to some experts, such craft had already been built and that,
- in the near future, they could circumnavigate the globe several times because they needed only fuel for take off and landing..' Other Briti
- sh sources mentioned aircraft capable of speeds of several thousand miles an hour.More than twenty years have passed since the otherwise so-
- eminently-careful BBC boasted of 'Britain's planes of the future,' and officially these aircraft still remain little more than a dream. And
- yet, did not Ben Lockspeiser, the man who was in charge of the most responsible 'T' teams, declare that 'such craft would need no fuel?' Did
- he not imply that such craft would gain their own propellant from the atmosphere by suction and expulsion? On June 26, 1953, an intensely
- luminous flying object majestically crossed the night sky of Albacete, Spain, at an altitude of 60 miles. In Britain, scientific papers pro
- duced by members of the 'T' teams showed suggestive titles such as 'Boundary Layer Flow Over a Permeable Surface Through Which Suction is Ap
- plied' (J.H. Preston), 'The Aerodynamics of Porous Sheets' by G.J. Taylor, and Pankhurst's Aerofoil Catalogue.In 1959, aeronautical engineer
- N.S. Currey wrote: 'Canada today must be counted among the most advanced aeronautical powers in the world,' and added cautiously, 'This ref
- ers above all to the field of jet propulsion.'The Canadian Department of Mines and the Technical Surveys Mapping Branch reserved a vast area
- -125,000 square miles-for production of experimental aircraft. This was one of the decisions reached by the committees of the Commonwealth C
- onference on Aeronautical Research. This desolate, heavily woooded and mountainous region between British Columbia and Alberta, with the Pea
- ce River district as it's Northern frontier and Washington State to the South, was an ideal location-few and easily controlled roads, few se
- ttlements, few railroads, but good communications in the north and the south via the trunk line from Prince George to Edmonton and that from
- Vancouver to the United States border, and only one major highway, te Alaska.Britain already had considerable wartime experiance in this so
- rt of enterprise. In 1942, at the height of the German raids, the RAF had set up five secret airports in the very heart of the New Forest, i
- n Hampshire. The big thing about these installations was the fact that they included complete industrial plants, decentralizing major groups
- essential for war production. They were called 'shade workshops.' The Germans, too, had much experience in this field. One of their major p
- lants at Volkenrode resisted all attempts at aerial identification throughout the war.Neither the British nor the Americans, on an official
- level, saw eye to eye in scientific matters at the close of the war against Germany and afterward. The United States' refusal to share atomi
- c secrets with Britain was never quite forgotten in Whitehall, and Britain set out to prove, with Canada, that she was well able to produce
- her own fission bomb. If Congress steadfastly accused the British of giving little or nothing in return for information, the British felt th
- ey had been mistrusted and severely neglected. They preferred to go ahead with their plans in Canada.The fact that the area has been photogr
- aphed again and again by high altitude reconnaissance planes, both U.S. and Russian, does not perturb the Canadian or British authorities. T
- he plants and saucer ports are underground, hidden in primeval forests of Columbia.The question immediately arises: Why have not Britain and
- Canada made such craft available to their other partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization? I believe there may be many answers to
- such a question, but one of the main points is this: Lack of confidence and fear of being exploited remain rife among the nations, as they a
- re among people. And why should not Britain and her Commonwealth partner retain one major trump card which, one day, may become invaluable?
- The pooling of scientific secrets is rarely entirely sincere.All the evidence, all the know how of British scientists before and during the
- last war, combined with the astounding progress in propulsion and the discoveries in suction aircraft of the Germans, based on 18 years of r
- esearch into the most secret documents of the past war, have convinced me of one thing: The flying saucers do not come from space. They come
- from a few hundred miles outside the United States. They mean no harm, and Washington knows this. Hence the long standing order to all U.S.
- Air Force pilots: Intercept--but do not fire upon." This article, which appeared in Argosy Magazine in August, 1969, is reprinted above in
- it's entirety. It is important because it is one of the few reports that goes into detail about the revolutionary technical advancements mad
- e by the Nazi's in the field of aeronautical research. Unfortunately, Vesco doesn't offer any real substantiation for the existence of t
- he Kugelblitz, which is the crux of his subject. However, in his book Intercept, UFO, he tells us that the Kugelblitz was indeed tested some
- time in February, 1945 over the great underground complex at Kahla, in Thuringia. Both the Kugelblitz and the Feurball were then destroyed
- by the retreating S.S. So, could this story be considered fact? We have to take into consideration a number of issues. First and foremost, t
- here is the Nazi's.Could they have been developing craft of such advancement? History has it that not only were they at war, which required
- much in the way of manpower, but they took on incredible projects such as constructing huge underground complexes at Nordhausen in the Harz
- mountains, Pennemunde and others. They also had their Naval Vessals provide support for a very detailed study of the Antartic in which they
- were alleged to have been building underground bases there as well. General Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfuhrer as his S.S. men would call hi
- m, was quite frankly, a madman. He believed in obediance, controlled breeding and vivisection of homans. He believed in biological mutation
- and what could be produced with it. He used the slaves for his work force, as well as specimens for research. Let's discuss this possibility
- more in the message boards in Paranet and the UFO echos. I am starting to get quite tired of the theory that UFO's and related matters, are
- extraterrestrial. It is being shoved down our throats by figures like "Falcon" and "Condor" as well as articles in Paranet like MUGGER.DOC
- and PICNIC2.DOC. As a matter of fact, that is about all I hear anymore. It seems that since we want to hear about EBE's, the so-called, Inte
- lligence Community, is giving us just what we want to hear. I call on each and every person in the UFO community to research, in debth, HUMA
- N history. In particular, great scientists such as, Tesla and his experiments; Einstein's theories; Germany's secret weapons of the Second W
- orld War by R. Lusar; the Philadelphia Experiment; Admiral Byrd's Project Highjump; books and periodicals about Nazi Germany and their inter
