We already looked at the conventional disc shaped aircraft, made in Germany. But it seems when digging into Otto Maier’s story and his engine that the properties of his saucer don’t match those of the conventional saucer types. So, what about field propulsion and electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) driven technologies? EMP is the principle of accelerating an object by the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. And a field propulsion system...

German saucers and the Roswell crash

This is a relating topic with the history of Otto Maier and the myth about his mysterious engine. In July 1947 a saucer shaped object dropped out of the sky in Roswell, New Mexico.

Farrell shows this realistically in his book Roswell and the Reich. Maybe authorities want us to believe the...

Helgoland and the Amber Memory

The North Sea hides more than wrecks. It hides intentions. Its waters turn black under cloud, its cliffs crumble and reform, and every tide washes up the same ancient gift — a piece of amber, a drop of sun turned to stone. Amber was never just a gemstone. For centuries it was called the tears of the gods, a hardened memory. To hold it was to feel the...

It can...

Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a foo fighter

Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a Foo Fighter. In late 1944 Reuters press agency reported that peculiar spheres, similar to the glass balls that decorate Xmas trees have been observed hanging in the air over Germany, occasionally singly, often times in clusters.
