This neutral point figure raises another difficulty, one to which I averred in my book

To my knowledge, no such “occult” or “esoteric” analysis of Soviet launches, such as what Hoagland has undertaken for NASA, has ever been made. If this were found to be true of the Soviet program as well as the American then this would constitute evidence of secret coordination of both programs along the same ideological inspiration, whatever that inspiration may be.

¹⁸⁰
It does
not
lack a clear connection to Nazism either before, during, or
after
the war, as will be seen in a subsequent chapter.

¹⁸¹
It goes without saying that
not much at all
is known of Germany’s
Bundesnachrichtendienst.
It alone, of all the major intelligence agencies of the world, unlike the Israeli Mossad, the Soviet KGB, the British MI-6, the French
Surete
or even Chinese intelligence, has had next to
nothing
written about its successes and/or failures, other than General Gehlen’s own memoirs.

“The Bell”:Nazis and Occulted Physics

“’What I believe,’ Stanford said, is that the Canadian and American governments, quietly backed by the British, have been working jointly since the end of World War II on the development of supersonic flying saucers, that they now have a limited number of such machines hidden away in the wilds of Canada or in the White Sands Proving ground, and that those saucers are based on aeronautical projects that originated in Nazi Germany – but aren’t related to the vast majority of UFO sightings. What I also believe is that the U. S. Government knows the origin of the more extraordinary saucers, that it is frightened of what the capability of those saucers might represent in military and political terms, and that its building of its own saucers is a race against time and its secrecy a means of avoiding national panic.’

“’The Canadian government has flying saucers. The U.S. government has flying saucers. But someone,
somewhere
, has flying saucers so advanced we can’t touch them. Those saucers don’t come from space. They aren’t figments of imagination. They are real and they are right here on earth and their source is a mystery.’”

The character Stanford,

from W. A. Harbinson’s novel,
Genesis
, pp. 398-399.

“The irritating evidence of French success in the American zone was compounded by intelligence reports that the Germans already in France were working independently of their French controllers and maintaining secret contact with other scientists in Germany.”

“Das Laternenträgerprojekt”:

The Bell and Igor Witkowski

“…how did it happen that scientists from the 1940s understood exactly where they were heading? They had applied after all ideas from XXI century physics…. What arguments did they lay down (before the launch of work) that caused them to win the race for funds…? …The unusualness of all this is summed up by the fact, that descriptions of mercuric propulsion had appeared as long ago as in ancient times – in alchemy and old Hindu books…It may prove that an explanation of all the technical questions related to work from the time of the war, will reveal a far greater mystery…”

Igor Witkowski,
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe

A. Igor Witkowski on the Bell

It is due to the research efforts of Polish military journalist Igor Witkowski, and the bestselling book by British author Nick Cook,
The Hunt for Zero Point,
that anything at all is known of the Bell. And until the publication of Witkowski’s
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe
, Nick Cook’s book was the only book in the English language that contained any information at all on the Bell, summarizing Witkowski’s years’ of investigation.
²
With the publication of Witkowski’s research in English, however, one is in a position to see why the Bell was given the Third Reich’s highest classification. Indeed, one can see why some may have resorted to a program of murder to protect its secrets.

To appreciate this object’s true significance, however, it is necessary to understand what it was, what it did, what the physics behind it may have been, and, thereby, what the Germans were possibly hoping to achieve with it. We will begin with a survey of Witkowski’s research and his own speculative reconstruction of the Bell’s operating principles in this chapter, and on the basis of his and other evidence, offer our own reconstruction and speculations of its possible significance and theoretical basis.

1. The Significance of the Story of the Bell

Before proceeding to summarize Witkowski’s lengthy and weighty research in his chapter on the Bell from his book on German secret weapons,
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe
, a word is necessary about its significance.

As is well known to UFOlogists, the “Nazi Legend” of UFO origins has been around since the end of the Second World War and the publication afterward of Major Rudolf Lusar’s book on German secret weapons, where the first brief mention is made of the subject, accompanied by the first “schematic” of an alleged “suction-type” German saucer. As many have pointed out, the story rests on few sources, which, when traced back, seem to lead nowhere, except to those sources’ own questionable connections, associations, and agendas.

With Witkowski’s research on the Bell, however, one has something entirely different. The story is significantly different from the stories surrounding the “Nazi legend” and its familiar names of Habermol, Miethe, Schriever, Epp, Schauberger and so on. With the Bell story, one has, as will be seen, clear descriptions of its
design, mode of operation, and effects,
as well as clear indications of known personnel involved with the project and clear corroborative evidence in the form of installations and residual physical signatures.

To put it succinctly, the story of the Bell is the actual probable basis of the Nazi UFO legend.

2. An Obvious Question and a Not So Obvious Answer

For Witkowski, the investigation all began in August of 1997, when he was asked a very obvious question, a question that in fact hovers over
every
author who has ever investigated the mystery of wartime Nazi secret weapons research: Just exactly
what was
the so-called “Wonder Weapon”, or
Wunderwaffe?
For Witkowski, the journey began when a Polish intelligence officer, who had access to Polish government documents regarding Nazi secret weapons, first made him aware of the Bell.

Among other things he asked me if I had ever come into contact with a device developed by the Germans, which was codenamed “the Bell”, and made a sketch of it. On a circular base was some kind of bell jar, cylindrical in shape with a semicircular cap and hook, or some other clamping device at the top. The Bell jar was supposed to be made of a ceramic material, resembling a high voltage insulator. Two metal cylinders or drums were located inside.
³

Nothing about the description of the object aroused any interest in Witkowski, but he could not let the subject drop, since the individual who had approached him impressed him with his knowledge. “This was no amateur living in a dream world. Of that I was sure.”
⁴

But what had really piqued Witkowski’s interest were the individual’s descriptions of the Bell’s “quite simply unearthly effects” when it was in operation, effects that conjured in Witkowski’s mind the final scene from Steven Spielberg’s
Raiders of the Lost Ark
, effects that were “absolutely shocking.”
⁵
This description, plus the man’s evident sincerity and expertise, made the question he asked Witkowski even more significant:

(He) asked me the outright disarming yet seemingly trivial question: if I was able to state with full responsibility that the “Wunderwaffe” – that “wonder weapon”, was the V-1 or V-2, as was often mentioned. If in any German documents or in any original sources in general, I had come across information unraveling what the “Wunderwaffe” was. He stated that after all it could not have referred to the V-1 or V-2, since firstly these weapons had been from a military point of view not very effective (and therefore not “wonder”) and
secondly that the term “Wunderwaffe” had begun to appear in earnest already after the “V” Weapons had been deployed in combat
. This was indeed intriguing. Later from the point of view of this, I looked over various volumes from my library and in actual fact it appeared that some kind of unusual weapon had existed, practically unknown till this day.
⁶

In other words, Witkowski had come across one component of the Allied Legend – that the
Wunderwaffe
referred to the V-1, V-2 and various other rocket projects of Nazi Germany – and to nothing more.

But the historical record suggested otherwise, as Witkowski notes; the term
Wunderwaffe
clearly began to be applied by the Nazis to
something
that was
not
any kind of rocket, even if that something was only a figment of Dr. Göbbels’ Propaganda Ministry. But the uniqueness of the Bell and the revelations of the intelligence man continued to preoccupy Witkowski:

My aforementioned informer strongly emphasized that what was involved was
a uniquely classified project, the most secret research project ever realized in the Third Reich!
Therefore it is surely clear that regardless of the scale of difficulty it was worth verifying such a statement.
⁷

In other words, beyond atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, fuel air bombs, advanced rockets, stealth materials, guided missiles, sound cannon, wind and vortex cannon, electromagnetic railguns, laser beams, nuclear powered aircraft, and all the other exotic weapons technology the Nazis were developing, there was
one
project so important in its scope and terrible promise that it – as will soon be seen - merited its own
unique
classification, and that project was the Bell.
