The Saucer that didn't Fly
|
|
by W. E. Du Soir
|
|
|
|
The serious field of UFO's and flying saucer research received a
|
|
setback at Oklahoma City in late April when a highly publicized
|
|
launching attempt by O.T.C. Enterprises of Baltimore, Md., resulted
|
|
in failure.
|
|
|
|
Hundreds of persons had been invited to Oklahoma City by Otis T.
|
|
Carr to watch him "launch a six-foot prototype model of the O.T.C.
|
|
X-1, a space craft which works on 'utron' energy." Those who were
|
|
there came away disappointed. The flying saucer did not fly.
|
|
|
|
The six-foot model, well-hidden in a warehouse, never even got to
|
|
the launching site, or to the amusment park called Frontier City,
|
|
where it was to have been displayed beside a 45-foot version of the
|
|
same X-1 which will be an amusement "ride" in the near future. The
|
|
launching site was to have been a gravel pit eight miles north of
|
|
Oklahoma City where Carr claimed the saucer would rise "400 to 600
|
|
feet."
|
|
|
|
Launching time was set for 3:00 PM Sunday, April 19. Two and a half
|
|
hours past this time Major Wayne Aho finally announced that the
|
|
launching had to be postponed because of "technical difficulties."
|
|
Later it was stated by O.T.C. officials that one bearing housing was
|
|
"off one-sixteenth of an inch."
|
|
|
|
Most of the major flying saucer clubs had ignored the "launching".
|
|
Except for a story in early April there was no advance news on
|
|
Carr's experiment in Oklahoma City newspapers. One Oklahoma City
|
|
television reporter expressed the general feeling of the
|
|
townspeople, "This thing will never leave the ground. And I feel
|
|
that a great deal of the ballyhoo they're giving out is tied in with
|
|
the ride at Frontier City. I have tried constantly to get in to see
|
|
the saucer model, but they've kept it hidden."
|
|
|
|
Equally well hidden was Carr himself. He was finally located in
|
|
Mercy Hospital, Room 302, by John Nebel, the famed "Long John" of
|
|
WOR, New York City.
|
|
|
|
Carr did not show up at a meeting at a local church the day before
|
|
the scheduled launching but a taped speech was delivered to the 70
|
|
people who attended.
|
|
|
|
"Barring any flat tires," Carr said, "I feel that history will be
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
made Sunday afternoon when the model of the O.T.C. X-1 is launched
|
|
here."
|
|
|
|
Carr did not leave his hospital room until Monday, when he was taken
|
|
to the home of Major Aho, the man in charge of publicity for the
|
|
company. A scheduled "victory" dinner was pretty dismal Sunday
|
|
night, where again a taped message from Carr was presented.
|
|
|
|
Monday morning at 5 AM a rumor spread that the model launching would
|
|
again be attempted. At that early hour a group of a half-dozen
|
|
people, including Norman Colton, Carr's chief aide, went to the
|
|
warehouse. But it was three hours later before anyone else showed
|
|
up and most of those who had come to see the model had given up in
|
|
disgust and left.
|
|
|
|
Many believers in UFO's, although skeptical, had traveled to
|
|
Oklahoma City to see what developed. All of them had left town by
|
|
Monday afternoon.
|
|
|
|
One member of a Pennsylvania saucer club commented, "I don't know
|
|
what's going on but I feel they never had any intention of trying to
|
|
launch the model. I could not see any plans in sight for the model
|
|
and, in fact, I understand, that a Mr. Maywood Jones presented only
|
|
what he called "three-dimensional illustrations" of Carr's ideas."
|
|
|
|
Monday afternoon there was more activity in the warehouse and
|
|
finally, around 4 PM, the model was "turned on" and revolved,
|
|
althought it showed no signs of taking off from the table on which
|
|
it sat.
|
|
|
|
"We hoped to try to launch it again but unfortunately one of the
|
|
seams burst during the test," an O.T.C. official said.
|
|
|
|
"We still hope to have a launching shortly," another member of
|
|
Carr's group added.
|
|
|
|
Left unanswered were such questions as:
|
|
|
|
1) Why was there no publicity about the launching in Oklahoma
|
|
City for two weeks before the model was supposed to fly?
|
|
|
|
2) Why did Carr ready a taped message for delivery at the
|
|
"victory dinner" a day before the scheduled launching?
|
|
|
|
3) How could any engineer make a mistake of one-16th of an inch
|
|
in a precision part? This would be similar to a navigator
|
|
landing an airplane 300 miles off course. A mistake of one-
|
|
10,000th of an inch can be a major engineering calamity.
|
|
|
|
Carr was apprently undaunted by the weekend's developments. He
|
|
again commented, "This indeed is an historic occasion."
|
|
|
|
Questioned about the failures of his model, he added, "The theory
|
|
itself has been proven. The model will go up, if not this week,
|
|
then next week or next month."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Carr also has stated that he and Major Wayne Aho will "fly to
|
|
the moon in a flying saucer on December 7, 1959."

Vangard notes...
|
|
|
|
As negative as this article is, it must be included in
|
|
conjunction with CARR1 also on KeelyNet.
|
|
|
|
We have reason to believe that Carr was onto a principle which
|
|
he possibly misintepreted. There are many correlations for an
|
|
apparent anti-grav effect which manifests itself when certain
|
|
conditions are met. These include Searle, Keely, Tesla and
|
|
other observations relating to spin, frequency and geometry.
|
|
|
|
Other files on KeelyNet relate to plasmas, acoustics, high
|
|
voltage and spin which you might find of use.
|
|
|
|
For that reason, we urge you to not give up on the basic
|
|
principle which Carr said he and his group had proven. It is
|
|
possible that faulty engineering, sabotage or suppressive
|
|
tactics might have caused a true failure.
