Text: Hello all, Yes, it would indeed be a grave mistake to underestimate Russian thought and science, and moreover, how that field has had some remarkable and interesting ideas and concepts (Fjodorow, Tsiolkovski and Tsander for example) As for Fillipow, I will check the Hoover Institution at Stanford. I found that Bergier very probably culled his information from either the biography on Grindell-Matthews (where there is some data on Fillipow) or that both Bergier and Barwell, the writer of Grindell-Matthews' biography had access to the same source. Any information on any of the death ray inventors is most welcome. I am still searching for more info on 30's US death ray inventor Henry Fleur, of whom and his remarkable device I found a very nice photograph in a - surprise - Dutch 1935 magazine. Articles about him appeared in US newspapers; I suspect the Chicago area. He demonstrated his device in front of scientists; according to contemporary newspapers, it worked. At that time news on death rays was distributed almost worldwide; I also found numerous articles on Tesla's death ray claim and Grindell-Matthews in Dutch contemporary newspapers. These secundary sources are often interesting for the additional data they provide, not found in the original and thus primary sources; for instance, sometimes I found that when a newspaper was publishing about the claim of a foreign inventor, it pointed out that such a claim was also made by fellow countryman so and so, in fact these little snippets are often the only leads that there were more inventors working at like projects. And there, as they say, the search begins... Therefore a dire call of distress: any xeroxes of newspaper clippings, magazine articles etc.on the above subject (death rays) is greatly welcomed! As to not clog up these lists unnecessary, those wishing to help me in my searches, can contact me at my e-mail address (th.paijmans@wxs.nl) Kind regards, Theo Paijmans ASu2431426@aol.com wrote: > WE look forward to Theos book on "death rays" etc. > > Agreed one has to make a distinction between claims and actuality...but in > Tesla-Tunguska case there is additonal evidence...the 1907 explosion of the > French ship IENA.
