An aerospace engineer at nearby McDonnel Douglas (makers of the F4 Phantom and other weapons) was active in the club and a personal friend of his. When the engineer got and shared evidence that some of the flying saucers were manmade there was an uproar and he was shouted down by the faction who insisted that all spacecraft came from other planets, then the club divided, the engineer was transferred to another state and my friend and his son were accosted by a flying saucer. It happened when they were on the roof, observing one of the planets through a telescope. The thing hovered a hundred feet or so, right above them, for a minute or so, then sped off. He abandoned the club, which had become a pseudomystical babblefest, anyway. Note how some silly UFOlogists insist that spacemen propound Alice Bailey's ideology package, for instance.
Jim Marrs wrote a comprehensive book on the history of the CIA's and the US Air Force's collaborative effort, since their inception in 1947, to dissuade the public from believing in UFOs. It's a good read for anyone, in spite of the fact that he seems to have an incidental crush on one fellow among the stable of Theosophy/masonic charismatic gurus, or did at the time.
..........A German research journalist covered the period between the 1930s to teh late 1940s, by which time the silver discs were evidently being mass produced in an underground factory on the Gold Coastt, north of Vancouver, BC. One of the projects that were started in Germany and finished up with 'captured' scientists, evidently including Werner von Braun.
Carol and I saw an unreleased TV show that had loads of archived film footage of Vryal saucers from prewar Germany; also showed technical drawings of the engineers' attempts to use the craft as weapons platforms. They wobbled, so were not suited for that. The craft in the film was exactly like the craft that Billy Meier in Switzerland later filmed. Note that Meier claimed to have talked with the occupants and they propounded Alice Bailey's paradigm. Reading that, years before, was what made it clear to me that some antigravity craft were man-made
It's really useful to read several authors' work about any subject, of course, if one intends to get a more balanced view of the subject.
A whole lot of what Tesla did, especially later in life, remains secret, perhaps including the basis for present-day weather warfare. One of my zapper customers in Belgrade told me that a museum dedicated to Tesla occupies an entire city block in that city (not damaged by US bombs, fortunately) and that it's got a lot of stuff we've never heard about
. He also told me, by the way, that leukemia became endemic in that city after
the US bombed them. The US Air Force likes to use 'dirty bombs' on civilian
targets, of course, in their bornagain-chump/zionist jihad. 'Sieg, Heil!'
