4. Glow. Many reporters of saucers described them as glowing, either with a greenish-blue glare on the inside, or with completely glowing exterior – reddish, orange, yellow, or other shades of the spectrum.

Now, how about these points? Do they absolutely eliminate the possibility that saucers may be earth craft, after all? Most writers, citing these points, have dismissed the possibilities. But let’s take the points, one by one, and analyze them.

1.
Speed
. Conventional craft, using a principle of “boring through” air, or being forced through air, can get red hot, have metals creep, can fall apart or burn to a crisp from friction. However, by utilizing the principle of “Coanda’s Effect,” with the object flying in a partial vacuum of its own making, this problem could be overcome. In the opinion of Professor Henri Coanda, discoverer of the effect, as given to Art Buchwald, it would be overcome. In many observations of extremely high speeds in saucers, the most extreme speeds were not observed in the dense, lower layers of our atmosphere, but at higher altitudes, far, far above the earth. And a great many observations of saucers have indicated that they rise in a series of “stairsteps,” and achieve greatest velocity only after gaining the upper reaches of the atmosphere where density, air resistance and friction would be much less.

And on this subject of speed it is well to remember that speeds seemingly impossible to earth craft in 1947, when the first when the first saucers were widely reported, seem terribly old-fashioned today. In 1947, men were trying to break the speed of sound – and secretly had succeeded. But this speed of something over 700 mph became old hat in just six years, when Maj. Charles E. Yeager, in December, 1955, flew

============[PAGE BREAK]==========

a plane of conventional [unreadable] at more than 1,600 mph, or something more than two and one-half times the speed of sound.

And by May, 1955, scientists at Langley Field, Virginia, were reporting that they were doing research on guided missiles that might reach the speed of 15,000 mph. The scientists pointed out that then (1955) they were flying missiles at speeds of 3,000 mph from Wallops Island, Virginia.

Speed, and speed alone – even the fantastic higher speeds reported in saucers – would not seem to rule out completely the possibility that saucers are earth-made.

2.
Maneuverability and G-pull on occupant.
A great deal of nonsense has been written about the impossibility of having anything human survive the mad maneuvers observed in saucers: acute-angled turns with no slackening in speed; high-speed circling of two discs in the air, as if they were “charging their batteries;” tremendous acceleration from practically zero to thousands of miles an hour; abrupt reverses in direction.

But do all those things rule out the possibility that saucers might be manmade?

Not at all. First, they might be unmanned missiles – especially the tiny saucers that have been reported. Next, now things are coming to light about G-pull and the amount a human can survive, about “weightlessness”, about other factors that may enter into the picture.

For instance, in the magazine
Flying
, March, 1951, p, 34, First Lieutenant Hugh F. McLaurin, USAF, answered the following questions: “What would happen [unreadable] plane and suddenly catapulted into the sky at 13,000 mph? Would you sweat

==========[PAGE BREAK]==========

blood? Would you be killed by acceleration or by pressure change? The answers are all no. Lt. McLaurin knew. He went through such a speed in a simulated test and survived.

Again, on G-pull, Major Donald E. Keyhoe, writing in TRUE, December, 1952, wrote: “By applying thrust in an opposite direction, abruptly reversing thrust, an object can be halted in seconds. Tests made with a G-sled by the Air Force has shown that, for a fraction of a second, human beings can take a force of 45 G’s and survive.”

Maybe Major Keyhoe was a little premature in his announcement of this fact, but as proof of it, USAF, on December 27, 1954, announced that one of its officers, Lt. Col. John P. Stapp, had gone from a record land speed of 652 mph to a dead stop in 1 ½ seconds without ill effects.

This quick stop was made at Holloman Air Development Center at Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the test, Col. Stapp was strapped to a 2,000-pound rocket sled. The only ill effects he suffered were a few blood blisters from dust particles in the air and two black eyes, caused by his eyeballs being thrown forward against his eyelids during the deceleration period.

In stopping, Col. Stapp withstood a pressure equal to 35 G’s. His “weight” was more than three tons.

On the evening of December 28, 1954, there appeared in
The New
York World Telegram and Sun
a writeup of an interview with Col. Stapp, made on the 27
^th
, in which the colonel said that he expected to travel at 1,200 mph on the sled. This would be nearly twice as fast, with proportionate step-up in G-pressure, with a violent stop.

Can man withstand the violent maneuvers and sudden decelerations observed in flying saucers?

What do you think?

Another factor sometimes overlooked by writers on flying saucers is the phenomenon of weightlessness. If you don’t weigh anything, ie., if you have a condition of zero gravity, you can’t very well be slammed around by violent maneuvers in the air. Some writers have, however, pointed out that extraterrestrial craft, using some form of magnetic propulsion, might create their own gravitational fields and thus be free of gravitational pull from the earth. Maybe it is not as complicated as all that. In TRUE for July, 1954, writer Don Dwiggins described weightlessness as experienced in a two-seater plane flown by Maj. Edward J. Rackham, USAF acceptance pilot at Lockheed’s Van Nuys, California, plant. They went up to only 20,000 feet and then went into a ballistic curve. The result was weightlessness. Mr. Dwiggins photographed a pack of cigarettes floating free in the cabin of the plane.

If weightlessness can be achieved with a ballistic curve, perhaps it can be achieved in some other, but fairly easy way. And such weightlessness might permit violent maneuvering, such as has been (reported?) in flying saucers.

But, if you will read further on the subject of weightlessness, you will find that this phenomenon presents grave hazards to the airman. LIFE Magazine, in an article in its December 6, 1954, issue, pointed out that weightlessness is a highly unpleasant sensation. Mr. airman has been able to stand it for more than 45 seconds. It produces severe disorientation. It dislocates all sense of direction. It produces nausea, nervous distress, loss of ability to coordinate, inability to guide the complex machinery of today’s flying craft.

So one argument negates the other here.

3. The [unreadable] faster than sound.

Here, again, let us refer to the new principle of flight, the “Coanda Effect.” If a craft is flying in a partial vacuum, not pushing and compressing the air in front of it, or “boring through” it, (it is) conceivable it might be possible to glide through the atmosphere and [unreadable] through the sound barrier without the “clap of thunder” made by conventional planes. As for the lack of sound issuing from the vehicle itself – motor, engine, turbine, jet – if there exists some new and little publicized principle of flight, plus some new and unpublished method of propulsion – magnetic, antigravitational, atomic - it might be possible to achieve soundlessness or near soundlessness.

4.
Glow.
This is one to really stump the experts, in trying to explain saucers as completely terrestrial craft. But certain atomic, radioactive materials glow with the same kind of blue-green glaze noted in some saucer interiors. But how a crew could be protected from gamma rays emanating from such materials poses an unanswerable question. As to glowing exteriors – Major Keyhoe had written at some length, theorizing that the glow of extraterrestrial space craft could come from varying degrees of heat caused by friction – from preactically white-hot to red-hot, to orange-hot, to yellow-hot, going from highest speeds to the lowest. Perhaps this same principle would hold true of earth-made craft, as well as extraterrestrial vehicles. As to the question of materials which could withstand these heats – present rocket speeds, as published in newspapers – are above 4,000 mph. Such speeds must cause temperatures that make rockets glow – like saucers.

All this may be very thin evidence that saucers could be earth craft. But [unreadable] a lot of evidence

==========[PAGE BREAK]==========

used to support [unreadable] thought. And there is a great deal of other evidence that is factual, not based upon pure supposition and theory.

For instance, Professor Coanda discovered his new principle of flight back in 1937. This principle, described previously, in essence is that if you curve a jet of air, or many jets of air, you also create an artificial cyclone, with the tremendous lift of a cyclone, and can lift and maneuver a many-tonned object because you create a vacuum above the whirling blasts of the jets.

Here is a note that may fit:

In
The
Washington
Daily
News
for May 14, 1949, was a copyrighted story that the flying discs were of Spanish-Nazi origin. The author held the view that the discs were very real, and that they were of a new “gyroscopic” design.

Here is another note that also fits somewhere into the picture: On May
22, 1952, there died in Rome, Italy, Giuseppe Belluzo, seventy-six, Italian scientists and former cabinet member. To quote from an article about him in
The
New
York Herald Tribune:

“Mr. Belluzo, who was Minister of National Economy and Minister of Public Instruction during the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, was also an authority on cannon and projectiles and a firm believer in flying discs.

“In a newspaper article in 1950, he said that models for flying discs had been drawn in Germany and Italy at about the same time in 1942, and were shown to both Mussolini and Hitler.

ANALYSIS:

And here, just when it was getting good, the excerpt on the Woods’ website ends. Nonetheless, enough detail is in it that readers of
Reich of the Black Sun
and of this book will have noted some stunning things.

1. First, it is evident that Bowen’s personal contacts brought him into contact with the head of General Patton’s intelligence as the following two statements attest:

a. “
Charles R. Codman, Col. Ret., (deceased), who was the aide of the late General George S. Patton, Jr., U.S. Army, and who was present at the special performance given for General Patton and his spearhead armored division at Rostau
;”

b. “
Mr. Charles H. Reed, Col., ret., Richmond Virginian, who really spearheaded the saving of the Spanish
Riding School and its horses
while on his mission of persuading the head of German Intelligence to turn
over to the U.S. the many truckloads of documents
buried on the Czech-Austrian border – documents which are still secret today.
”

Thus, General Patton’s Third Army operations in the late war were connected not only with gathering in the treasure trove of the
Kammlerstab’s
top secret research, but also German military intelligence’s archives that had been secreted along the Czech-German border. These “archives” could in turn refer to one of three things:

a. The archives of German Intelligence, particularly of General Reinhard Gehlen’s
Fremde Heere Ost
;

b. The actual German War Archives, which as recounted in
Reich of the Black Sun
had been transferred to Thuringia, which is along the German-Czech border;

c. The actual German War Archives, which as recounted in
Reich of the Black Sun
had The secreted cache of reports, patents, and so on that the
Kammlerstab
moved to this area probably under the direct auspices and oversight of Kammler himself. The information at the
end
of Bowen’s “Encyclopedia” tends to corroborate that this third alternative was the actual case, and tends also to support the thesis, argued in
Reich of the Black Sun
, that General Patton was somehow involved in a highly classified operation designed to secure Kammler and the
Kammlerstab
archives.

3. The bulk of the Bowen UFO Encyclopedia that is extant at the Woods’ website is from Chapter XIV of Bowen’s book, and it appears that Bowen most favors the
terrestrial
hypothesis as the explanation for the origin of the saucer phenomenon, and moreover that he believes them to be the product of secret black projects weapons development.

4. He then cites the newspaper article that clearly reveals what he thinks the origin of saucers to be. The secret projects of Nazi Germany (and Fascist Italy!).

a. It is to be pointed out that Bowen’s conclusions, coming as they do through personal acquaintance with Patton’s intelligence aide, most likely set off alarm Bells – pun intended - within MJ-12, and that they also appear
before
the first publication of Renato Vesco’s
Intercept But Don’t Shoot
which likewise attributes the origin of the postwar UFO phenomenon to the wartime development of Nazi flying saucers and to Belluzo. Bowen has thus arrived at his conclusions independently and a full decade before Vesco’s book was first published.
