This blog is intended
to deal with the UFO phenomenon in general, and Hessdalen
particularly. In my opinion, Hessdalen represents the global UFO
phenomenon in a miniature version. Thus, by studying Hessdalen, one
can learn about the global UFO phenomenon.
Here are some thoughts
on the origin of the UFO phenomenon as it appears in my view:
During
World War Allied pilots and crew observed what were called "foo
fighters"-yet it is the big wave in 1947 which is considered as
the start of the modern UFO phenomenon.
A U.S. intelligencereportfrom
1945 states that foo fighters / phoo bombs were German
weapons.
But what about the
flying saucer wave of 1947 and the UFO phenomenon in general since
the Second World War?
Officially UFOs are:
1: Non-existent
(the case of hallucinations, misinterpretations, bluff, etc.)
2:
If the UFO still exists it is something extra terrestrial.
Both views are
fundamentally wrong in my opinion.
Unknown crafts with
saucer, cigar, triangle, egg and bullet form, have been observed over
the globe since 47. They are reported to be solid, physical objects
with metallic hulls, etc.
As I see it, there is no reason to
believe that this represents something alien.
Flying saucers
looks like circular planes, cigar-shaped UFOs are similar to planes
without wings (or flying U-boats), etc. In other words, It sounds to
be an earthly technology. For the technology to a possible ET race
(potentially millions of years ahead in development - and therefore
far more advanced), I would expect something far more exotic than a
vessel that looks like my car.
One can also
conclude that over the years it has been an UFO "evolution"
in which the vessels appear to have become more and more advanced. If one goes
back to the earliest reports, as they appear in the many books
written about the UFO-wave in 1947, we see that the UFOs are here in
many cases described to let out exhaust / black smoke. Many reports
also describe sounds from the UFO that resembled jet / rocket engines
and there are also examples of reports where “motor sound” were
heard. Speeds and maneuverability is not as impressing as described
in reports of recent date.
In sum, it appears that
the reports from 47 describes a new and advanced technology, but not
exotic enough to represent something extra terrestrial.
So where can one look
to find a potential earthly source?
U.S. Air Force investigated
the phenomenon in 1947, and General Schulgen pointing out Nazi
Germany and German technology developed during the war as a likely
origin.
"To the purpose of analyzes
and evaluation of the so-called "flying saucer" phenomenon,
the object sighted is being Assumed to be a Manned aircraft, of
Russian origin, and based on the perspective thinking and actual
accomplishments of the Germans. "
Note the statement
"Assumed to be of Russian origin ...". In other words,
Schulgen may suspect another earthly origin than Soviet – namely
something independent Nazi.
A CIA document
(available through the Freedom of Information Act) dated 18 August,
1952 mentions that the Germans built flying saucers as early as 1941:
"Flying
Saucers Have Been known to be an actuality since the Possibility of
Their construction was proven in plans drawn up by German engineers
toward the end of World War II."
Another CIA document
dated May 27, 1954 identifies three different designs.
All these
projects were jet-turbine-powered saucer shaped aircraft - as
described in General Schulgens collection of intelligence memo from
October 1947.
From the Schulgen-memo we have the following
statement:
"Boundary
layer Control method by suction, blowing, or a combination of both”
og “Openings either in the leading edge top and bottom surfaces
that are employed chiefly to accomplish boundary layer control or for
the purpose of reducing the induced drag.
"
Schulgen and his
agents suspects in other words, that "someone" have found
the solution to getting rid of the problem of "the boundary
layer" and thus
reducing air resistance / friction and
increase the aircraft's performance and efficiency significantly.
From Henry Stevens'
book, "Hitler's Flying Saucers":
"Full-scale
suction wing aircraft were built for purpose of testing this concept.
These were the Junkers" Absaugeflugzeug "(suction aircraft)
AF-l and the Fieseler" Absaugestorch "(suction-stork) AF-2".
"Concurrent
with these experiments, work was being done into the feasibility of
circular wings. This work also began in the 1930s with the basic
ideas being credited to Professor Ludwig Prandtl. Early scientific
papers on circular winged aircraft were written beginning in 1936 by
Wilhelm Kinner and in 1938 by M. Hansen. Both of these scientists
worked at the
Aerodynamic Research Facility at Goettingen. By 1941 Dr. Alexander
Lippisch was also engaged in experimentation on circular wings at the
Messerschmitt firm. His design, designated J1253, was tested at the
wind-tunnel at Goettingen. Dr. Lippisch was visited by Dr Giuseppe
Belluzzo while at Messerschmitt in Augsburg and Lippisch worked
together with Dr. F. Ringlib on a "Drehfluegel" or"rotating
wing" which was tested at Peenemuende. As with suction wings, a
body of scientific literature from those times documents this early
circular-wing experimentation".
Here is atranslated NASAdocument, originally written
by the aforementioned Wilhelm Kinner in 1936, "On wings of
circular design" ("Über tragflügel mit kreisförmigen
basic Sketch").
As Henry Stevens
says:
"The
genius of the German designers was to combine the ideas of suction
and circular wings into a single aircraft. Housing complete aircraft
within its wing would eliminate the fuselage and so eliminate an
unnecessary, drag-causing structure."
Finally, I want to
mention another German engineer Heinrich Fleissner, who took out U.S.
patent on his design for a suction saucer - based on the projects he
was involved in at Peenemunde during the war:
In an article from
1980 in the German magazine Neue Presse Fleissner describes his work
at Peenemunde:
"Fleissner
was an engineer, designer and advisor to what he calls a
"Flugscheibe" project based at Peenemuende during the war.
It is interesting to note that Fliessner's area of expertise,
fluidics, is exactly the specialty involved in investigating problems
with boundary layer flow. Fleissner reports that the saucer with
which he was involved would have been capable of speeds up to 3,000
kilometers per hour within the earth's atmosphere and up to 10,000
kilometers outside the earth's atmosphere. He states that the brains
of the developmental people were found in Peenemuende under the
tightest of secrecy."
In his memorandum,
it is clear what Schulgen believed we were facing in 1947: namely,
jet-turbine-powered saucer shaped aircraft (built in lightweight
materials) which extraordinary maneuverability and performance were
based on eliminating the problem of "the boundary layer"
and thus reduceing air resistance and friction .
As mentioned
previously, General Schulgen and U.S. Air Force opened for a possible
independent Nazi origin to the UFO phenomenon. When you take the
technology that was under development into account, and also know
that the Nazis as early as in 1943 planned to go underground after
the war, this forms a frightening picture.
