NAZI WONDER WEAPONS

Every ponderable atom is differentiated from a tenuous fluid, filling all space merely by spinning motion, as a whirl of water in a calm lake. By being set in motion this fluid, the ether, becomes gross mat ter. Its movement arrested, the primary substance reverts to its nor mal state [stillness]. It appears, then, possible for man through harnessed energy of the medium and suitable agencies for starting and stopping ether whirls to cause matter to form and disappear. At his command, almost with out effort on his part, old worlds would vanish and new ones spring into being. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose, through the depths of the universe. He could make planets collide and produce his [own] suns and stars, his heat and light, he could originate life in all its infinite forms. To cause at will the birth and death of matter would be man’s grandest deed, which would make him the master of physical creation, make him fulfill his ultimate destiny.
The belief that antigravity or other exotic technologies were passed from the Nazis to the Allies has been further supported by sporadic peri odical coverage of antigravity in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This was at a time before the total blackout of news concerning energy-manipulation experimentation was enforced as a “matter of national security.” In 1956, the Swiss aviation journal Interavia Aerospace Review pub lished an article titled “Towards Flight Without Stress or Strain . . . or Weight.” The article carried the dateline of Washington, D.C., and stated, “Electro-gravitics research, seeking the source of gravity and its control, has reached a stage where profound implications for the entire human race begin to emerge. Perhaps the most startling and immediate im plications of all involve aircraft, guided missiles and free space flight of all kinds.” The article added, “There are gravity research projects in every major country of the world. A few are over 30 years old [emphasis added].” It also mentioned that, over and above theoretical research, there was empirical research into the “study of matter in its super-cooled,
