SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis’ Incredible Secret Technology
Page 35
The 1947 mass appearance of UFO’s over the United States included numerous sightings around our atomic installations at Hanford and Oak Ridge, as well as the great scarred area near Alamagordo, New Mexico, where we had fired our first atomic device.3
This idea was picked up by Stanton Friedmann and others, who maintained the very plausible scenario that E.T. was monitoring our burgeoning nuclear and soon to be thermonuclear military capabilities, as any prudent intelligent society would monitor the military activities of a potential threat.
So far, so good.
But then Friedmann and others failed to notice the significance of the parenthetical statements Edwards himself makes in the above quotation at the ellipsis, statements I deliberately omitted from the above quotation:
[The two bombs were exploded over Japan: the 1946 UFO’s were over Scandinavia and Russia. If they were looking for the source of those atomic flashes, they had the right latitude but the wrong longitude.]4
But, given the speculative history recounted in my previous book on Nazi secret weapons, Reich of the Black Sun, and the circumstantial case presented in it for German tests of nuclear devices in 1944 and early 1945 in the Baltic and in Thuringia, then the logic takes on a whole new context and sinister significance. If “E.T.” was indeed monitoring atomic tests and human intentions, then the 1946 “fly-bys” over the Baltic and Scandinavia were indeed at the right place.
And if one presses the logic a bit more, then it would appear that where the Nazis and their advanced technology went, E.T. and his reconnoitering UFOs were not far behind.
Which brings us at last to Roswell, to MAJIC-12, to Col. Philip J. Corso’s well-known version of events and his explanation of the“real origin” of certain technologies, and of course, to the New Mexico Nazis.
While more will be said about Col. Corso’s “Roswell-ET” thesis of the origin of some technologies typical of the mid-to-late 20th century, it is worth citing his own words here, since they bear directly on the alleged MAJIC-12 documents examined below:
My boss, General Trudeau, asked me to use the army’s ongoing weapons development and research program as a way to filter the Roswell technology into the mainstream of industrial development through the military defense contracting program. Today, items such as lasers, integrated circuitry, fiber-optics networks, accelerated particle-beam devices, and even the Kevlar material in bulletproof vests are all commonplace. Yet the seeds for all of them were found in the crash of the alien craft at Roswell and turned up in my files fourteen years later.5
The thesis is quite clear, an extraterrestrial craft crashed and was recovered near Roswell, New Mexico, and the recovered extraterrestrial technology was back-engineered, leading directly to the integrated circuit via the transistor, to fiber optics, to the laser, and a host of other devices and technologies. This thesis must be born in mind as the following MAJIC-12 documents are analyzed, for we shall return to it at the end of this chapter.
Drs. Robert and Ryan Wood are well-known for their document authentication efforts concerning the MAJIC-12 “Cooper-Cantwheel” documents. Some of these documents they published in a book, which, according to the statements on their own website, argue conclusively for the existence of “ET” and the exotic “ET” origin of the crashed and recovered craft.
However, some alleged MAJIC-12 documents that are not included in Robert and Ryan Wood’s MAJESTIC-12 book, strongly if not conclusively indicate the continuation of an independent Nazi development of advanced aerodynes and propulsions systems begun during the war. These documents furthermore imply a clear connection between MJ-12 and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the subsequent mysterious death of former CIA Director William Colby.
These documents, analyzed individually in this chapter, are:
1. A Memorandum of the Air Materials Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, classified SECRET and dated in September of 1947, to Brigadier General George Schulgen at the Offices of the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Air Forces;
2. A Memorandum of a “Research and Development Laboratory” Concerning Flying Saucers submitted to the Commanding General, Air Materials Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, and also to the Attention of Brigadier C. P. Cabell as USAAF Headquarters in Washington, dated 2 September (1947), with no classification indicated;
3. An apparent NSA Intercept between a American agent Codenamed “Joshua” to a Soviet counterpart, mentioning “33 investors” as possible independent sources of funding for Soviet SDI research and development;
4. A Memo from “Thomas Cantwheel” Concerning Recovery, Building, and Test-Flight of so-called “S” Craft based on Recovery of Crashed Vehicle in Louisiana in 1942;
5. A Letter from “Source 1” to Timothy Cooper connecting MJ-12 to the Assassination of President Kennedy, dated June 23, 1999;
6. A Second Letter from “Source 1” to Timothy Cooper outlining significant Details of MJ-12 Operations, including its alleged privatization by President Nixon in 1969, dated July 7, 1999;
7. Dr. Edward Teller’s Pitch to President Reagan for SDI, no date and no classification;
8. Annex C Fragment indicating MJ-12 involvement in assassination of Secretary of War James Forrestal;
9. Double Top Secret Letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to General Marshal, concerning recovered Cape Girardeau Craft in 1941, dated February 22/24, 1944;
10. Top Secret Letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to General Marshall concerning recovery of crashed vehicle, dated February 27, 1942;
11. The “Bowen UFO Encyclopedia.”
In analyzing these documents, I have retyped them word for word as they appear on the Wood’s website, preserving the various font style changes, and noting page breaks in the original documents as follows: “===END===” or “====END PUBLICLY RECEIVED DOCUMENT====” or some similar notation. All italicized portions are emphases added to the documents by me to highlight those aspects discussed in the analysis sections which immediately follow each document. Such italicized portions do not occur in the documents themselves unless otherwise noted. I have also indicated blacked out text by strings of questions marks -??????? – and attempted to preserve all capitalization.
Finally, for purposes of this chapter, authenticity issues are not discussed, since this would make an already lengthy book grow to enormous proportions. Instead, the documents are presumed to exist in the fuzzy area between “plain straight legitimate” and “cleverly concocted disinformation,” i.e., as even in the latter case containing some legitimate information. I do not believe that the documents are hoaxes outright. That being said, on to the documents themselves.
1. Document 1: Air Materials Command Secret Memo to Brig. Gen. George Schulgen, Sept 1947:
The text of the document is as follows, all emphasis has been added:
HEADQUARTERS
AIR MATERIAL COMMAND
1. As requested by AC/AS-2 there is presented below the considered opinion of this Command concerning the so-called “Flying Discs.” This opinion is based on interrogation report data furnished by AC/AS-2 and preliminary studies by personnel of T-2 and Aircraft Laboratory, Engineering Division T-3. This opinion was arrived at in a conference between personnel form the Air Institute of Technology, Intelligence T-2, Office, Chief of Engineering Division, and the Aircraft, Power Plant and Propeller Laboratories of Engineering Division T-3.
2. It is the opinion that:
a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious.
b. There are objects probably approximating the shape of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as manmade aircraft.
c. There is a possibility that some of the incidents may be caused by natural phenomena, such as meteors.
d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend bel
ief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.
e. The apparent common description of the objects is as follows: -
(1) Metallic or light reflecting surface.
U-39552
=========[PAGE BREAK]=======
Basic Ltr for CG, AMC, WF to CO, AAF, Wash. D. C. subj “AMC Opinion Concerning “Flying Discs”.
(2) Absence of trail, except in a few instances when the object apparently was operating under high performance conditions.
(3) Circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed on top.
(4) Several reports of well kept formation flights varying from three to nine objects.
(5) Normally no associated sound, except in three instances a substantial rumbling roar was noted.
(6) Level flight speeds normally above 300 knots are estimated.
f. It is possible within the present U. S. knowledge – provided extensive detailed development is undertaken – to construct a piloted aircraft which has the general description of the object in sub-paragraph (a) above which would be capable of an approximate range of 7000 miles at subsonic speeds.
g. Any developments in this country along the lines indicated would be extremely expensive, time consuming and at the considerable expense of current projects and therefore, if directed, should be set up independently of existing projects.
h. Due consideration must be given the following:-
(1) The possibility that these objects are of domestic origin – the product of some high security project not known to AC/AS-2 or this Command.
(2) The lack of physical evidence in the shape of crash recovered vehicles which would undeniably prove the existence of these objects.
(3) The possibility that some foreign nation has a form of propulsion possibly nuclear, which is outside of our domestic knowledge.
3. It is recommended that:-
a. Headquarters, Army Air Forces issue a directive assigning a priority, security classification and Code Name for a Detailed study of this matter to include the preparation of complete sets of all available and pertinent data which will then be made available to the Army, Navy, Atomic Energy Commission, JRDS, the Air Force Scientific Advisory Group, NACA, and the RAND and NEPA projects for comments and recommendations, with a preliminary report to be forwarded within 15 days of receipt of the data and a detailed report thereafter every 30 days as the investi-

ANALYSIS:
1. Note that no mention is made of the ET Hypothesis for the origin of recovered vehicular technology. This is extremely odd, for this fact places the memo in the same class as General Twining’s “Air Accident Report” as reviewed in my Reich of the Black Sun.6 Odder still is the fact that this date is also in the same approximate time frame as the “White Hot Intelligence Estimate”, which, according to the analysis in Reich of the Black Sun,7 contains two contradictory data-sets – the technological arguing for terrestrial origins and the biological arguing for ET origins – that are obfuscated in favor of the ET Hypothesis of its origin. The curious omission of the mention of any ET Hypothesis as an explanation of the craft’s origins can be explained in one of two ways:
a. As the document itself avers, the origins of the craft are terrestrial, even though its technology is exotic; or,
b. The absence of mention of the ET Hypothesis may be a reflection of a lower level of involvement, i.e., it is not mentioned except in the upper echelons of the organization that is beginning to emerge as “MJ-12”. A lower level of involvement, however, is itself odd, since by some accounts the recovered craft was shipped to Wright Field directly from Texas, where it had been flown from Roswell AAFB. Thus, in terms of the internal contents of the document, the stronger of the two interpretations is that no “ET Hypothesis” deep cover story is needed. The recovered craft and its technology are therefore terrestrial, though exotic, in origin and nature.
2. Certain statements in the memo, considered individually and collectively, point to a terrestrial origin for the craft, and given the exotic nature of the recovered technology, these can only come from Nazi Germany:
a. The craft is “of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as manmade aircraft;” that is, nothing about the craft suggests to Air Materials Command (AMC) an extraterrestrial origin; its size is consistent with the size and scale of human physiology;
b. “The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.” This statement can be explained by references to known, though exotic, technologies of Nazi secret weapons and their alleged performance characteristics (extreme rates of climb), as well as German progress in remote control of aircraft;8
c. The “Absence of trail, except in a few instances when the object apparently was operating under high performance conditions” finds an analogue in the assertions of Vesco and Childress in Operation Intercept and ManMade UFOs that the so-called Mark I saucers were but exotic but standard suction (jet) aircraft, which left the telltail contrails.9 The statement “Normally no associated sound, except in three instances a substantial rumbling roar was noted,” may also point to German development under Prof. Dr. Lippisch and others of high performance, high altitude ramjet engines; and finally,
d. The statement “Level flight speeds normally above 300 knots are estimated” once again indicates much too low a performance for any interplanetary craft, but point much more directly to something terrestrial. It should be noted that this speed is far below the 1200mph reported in the White Hot Intelligence Estimate of the same time period.10 We are therefore dealing with two different craft, or the same craft has been observed under different circumstances. This very low performance figure may likewise indicate the nature of the document itself as being deliberately concocted disinformation, since such a speed would hardly call forth a secret memorandum. In my opinion, however, it may simply be due to a observation under low performance conditions.
3. The document concludes with three breathtaking statements that shatter the ET Hypothesis:
“Due consideration must be given the following:-
(1) The possibility that these objects are of domestic origin – the product of some high security project not known to AC/AS-2 or this Command.
(2) The lack of physical evidence in the shape of crash recovered vehicles which would undeniably prove the existence of these objects.
(3) The possibility that some foreign nation has a form of propulsion possibly nuclear, which is outside of our domestic knowledge.”
Note that Air Materials Command, by statements (1) and (3), is not even thinking in terms of a recovered ET vehicle, i.e., nothing about the observed technology is so exotic as to compel the ET explanation. Note also, however, the extraordinarily curious statement in item (2), which suggests either that nothing was recovered at Roswell – a conclusion this author rejects – or that AMC has not actually seen what was recovered, or that what was recovered was not actually a UFO. Statement (3) would tend to mitigate against the interpretation that AMC has not actually seen what was recovered in the formulation of this memo, since any number of propulsion mechanisms could have suggested themselves to AMC in the absence of any actual craft to examine. That is AMC could just as easily have proposed magnetic, electromagnetic, or other forms of field propulsion if its conclusions were only based on the reports of the flight performance characteristics of UFOs. Therefore, it is most plausible that AMC had actually seen the craft and based its summary on an actual analysis of its propulsion unit. In this context, statement (3) becomes much more significant, since the only other country with a known interest in nuclear means of aircraft propulsion at that time period was Nazi Germany.11 It is to be recalled t
hat one specific area of research of the Kammlerstab was precisely in nuclear aircraft propulsion.
Which leaves the statement “Due consideration must be given the following: - The possibility that these objects are of domestic origin – the product of some high security project not known to AC/AS-2 or this Command” to be explained. First it is to be noted that no mention is made of the possibility of the technology being Soviet. Secondly, it is clear from the statement itself that AMC considers the possibility that it represents a project so black and secret that it is simply unknown to it. This would also allow the possibility that the technology is the product of a wholly independent project. In short, it allows the idea of a continued and independent Nazi continuation of its wartime projects.
4. These conclusions indicate that AMC is at a loss to explain the actual origin of the craft, though it is clear that it thinks of its origins as strictly terrestrial. Therefore the combined weight of the statements (1) and (3) at the end of the document point to the existence of a program of exotic aerodyne research and development wholly unknown to the USAAF and its premier air technology analysis unit, the AMC at Wright Field. Given that the document nowhere mentions the alleged recovery of ET biology, this tends to support the conclusions reached in Reich of the Black Sun that nothing about the recovered technology or its observed performance characteristics compelled to the conclusion that the craft was ET in origin. Indeed, the document implies the existence of a program, possibly completely independent of the US government, about which AMC knows nothing.
