SAUCERS SECRET : ANTIGRAVITY
|
|
|
|
Editor's Note: Major Keyhoe has been writing about Unidentified
|
|
Flying Objects (UFO's) for over 15 years.
|
|
[written in 1967.Vangard]
|
|
From the outset he has insisted that flying saucers
|
|
are real and interplanetary, and many authorities
|
|
have come to agree with him.
|
|
Now he claims that control over gravity itself is
|
|
the only explanation for the astounding maneuvers
|
|
which saucers are said to make.
|
|
Some physicists dismiss this theory as
|
|
fundamentally erroneous. But, as you will read,
|
|
there are others who find Major Keyhoe's latest
|
|
chapter in "The Great Flying Saucer Story"
|
|
important and plausible.
|
|
|
|
What goes up (and around ) does not necessarily have to come down.
|
|
Major Keyhoe maintains `Not known fields of force' allow saucers
|
|
to behave peculiarly: To hover motionlessly, turn on a dime, and
|
|
accelerate at fantastic speeds. And only a crash `G' program on
|
|
our part can counteract it.

By Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe
|
|
|
|
One night last February, over the North Pacific, a Flying
|
|
Tiger Airlines crew had a startling aerial encounter. What they
|
|
saw is a clue to a fantastic technical mystery. In its solution
|
|
lies a prize so great that six government agencies are searching
|
|
for it right now. The answer may not be far off. What they are
|
|
searching for is the secret of gravity control.
|
|
|
|
About midnight on February 15, the Flying Tiger plane,
|
|
carrying a military group from the U.S. to Japan, was four hours
|
|
out of Anchorage. Suddenly the cockpit radar picked up three fast-
|
|
moving objects. The plane captain and his crew looked out at the
|
|
side and saw three huge oval-shaped ships, glowing red in the
|
|
night.
|
|
|
|
An Air Force captain who was a passenger on the plane was
|
|
called forward to confirm the sighting. His signed report is in
|
|
the files of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial
|
|
Phenomena.
|
|
|
|
According to the captain's report, the unknown machines
|
|
slowed down to the airliner's speed and flew in close formation.
|
|
Five miles away, by radar range, they leveled off to pace the
|
|
plane.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Air Force captain computed their length as much more than
|
|
700 feet. It was plain that the giant Unidentified Flying Objects
|
|
had an unknown type of propulsion. No jets, no exhausts were
|
|
visible. For 30 minutes, still in formation, they continued to
|
|
pace the plane. Then, swiftly accelerating to 1,200 knots, they
|
|
climbed out of sight in seconds.
|
|
|
|
This startlingly swift acceleration is a maneuver that could
|
|
not be duplicated by any ship now made on Earth. What makes it
|
|
possible for UFO's? According to many scientists and engineers,
|
|
there is only one possible answer. The answer is ANTIGRAVITY :
|
|
artificial gravity fields and control of gravity power.
|
|
|
|
Control of gravity is something that men have been dreaming
|
|
about for centuries. Now it appears that we are on the threshold
|
|
of achieving it. Its value, to the country that first attains it,
|
|
is incalculable. Our government, hoping for a technical
|
|
breakthrough, has set up 46 different research projects on various
|
|
aspects of gravity control. The Air Force is running 33 of these
|
|
projects and the others are divided among five other agencies.
|
|
|
|
Included in the 46 government projects are experiments and
|
|
research at two Air Force Laboratories (Flight Dynamics and
|
|
General Physics Research), Radio Corporation of America,
|
|
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several technical
|
|
engineering centers. In addition, official projects are being
|
|
carried out at Barkley and Dexter Laboratories, Fitchburg,
|
|
Massachusetts; Israel Institute of Technology; the Universities of
|
|
California, Denver, Harvard, Indiana, Manchester (England),
|
|
Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Purdue, Stockholm (Sweden),
|
|
Syracuse, Texas, and two New York schools - Queens College and
|
|
Yeshiva Graduate School of Science.
|
|
|
|
And, of course, some government agencies have projects so
|
|
secret that they are not publicly registered and cannot be
|
|
revealed without permission.
|
|
|
|
Private industry is also looking at the question of gravity
|
|
control with new seriousness. A large number of giant
|
|
corporations, including Bell Aerospace, General Electric, Hughes
|
|
Aircraft, Boeing, Douglas and many others, have set up gravity
|
|
projects.
|
|
|
|
If you add up all the known gravity programs being run by the
|
|
government and private industry, you get somewhere between 65 and
|
|
70 projects. This means there is a heavy concentration of
|
|
scientific and engineering brains working on the problem.
|
|
|
|
One leading scientist who is convinced that UFO's are
|
|
spaceships using gravity control is Dr. Hermann Oberth. Doctor
|
|
Oberth, a recognized authority, was co-designer of the V-2 rocket
|
|
and later a U.S. special consultant at Huntsville, Alabama, one of
|
|
the installations where important antigravity research is now
|
|
underway.
|
|
|
|
"With ordinary propulsion," Doctor Oberth told me in 1961,
|
|
"such violent accelerations and maneuvers would endanger the ship.
|
|
Also, the force would crush any creatures aboard against the rear
|
|
or sides of the machine. But with an artificial gravity field the
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force applies simultaneously to the passengers and the spaceship.
|
|
Even in swift changes of speed and direction, the ship is not
|
|
strained and the passengers feel nothing."
|
|
|
|
Today, Doctor Oberth is willing to go further. He is now of
|
|
the opinion "that energy, inertia and gravitational fields are
|
|
only aspects of one and the same thing" and that it will prove
|
|
impossible to separate them from each other. What he has in mind,
|
|
he says, is "not yet known fields of force" which can be used to
|
|
accelerate material objects in a way similar to the force of
|
|
gravity.
|
|
|
|
Another noted authority who agrees that UFO's are using
|
|
artificial G fields is William P. Lear, Sr. multimillionaire
|
|
inventor, pilot, designer of air and space equipment and builder
|
|
of jet aircraft. Lear, who once sighted a UFO from his executive
|
|
plane, predicts that future U.S. vehicles will also use artificial
|
|
gravity. "The people on board would probably not feel any more
|
|
effect," Lear says, "than they do from the tremendous speed of the
|
|
Earth as it rotates and orbits the sun."
|
|
|
|
Several years ago, Glenn Martin's vice-president for advanced
|
|
design, G.S. Trimble, predicted that by 1985 practically all
|
|
airliners would be using artificial gravity, flying at almost
|
|
unbelievable speeds. At about the same time, future airliner
|
|
speeds of 10,000 mph or more were pictured by Dr. Walter
|
|
Dornberger, then Bell Aircraft's chief guided-missile scientist
|
|
and now president of Bell aerospace.
|
|
|
|
Grover Loening, pioneer aircraft builder and consultant to
|
|
the Air Force, said it even more strongly. "I firmly believe that
|
|
before long man will acquire the ability to build an
|
|
electromagnetic contragravity mechanism that works," he stated.
|
|
|
|
A top official of Bethlehem Steel, Jesse V. Honeycutt, has
|
|
indicated some of the results we can expect if Loening is right.
|
|
"Serious research is being concentrated on in an attempt to solve
|
|
the mystery of gravity and bring about a control of its power....
|
|
It would bring about a greater revolution in power, transportation
|
|
and many other fields than the discovery of atomic power," he
|
|
stated.
|
|
|
|
Antigravity? It seems inconceivable. Yet, the search goes on
|
|
and many responsible men believe the answer will be found. And, to
|
|
my mind, it is the only possible explanation for the performance
|
|
of the UFO'S.
|
|
|
|
The stakes are so high that no clue can be overlooked. The
|
|
Air Force Technical Intelligence, hunting for overlooked leads, is
|
|
carefully checking hundreds of verified UFO reports. Hopefully,
|
|
some of them will help us find out how these strange vehicles
|
|
operate.
|
|
|
|
Four days before Christmas, 1964, a round, metallic craft
|
|
about 125 feet in diameter was observed to make a brief landing in
|
|
a field near Staunton, Virginia. Two Du Pont scientists later took
|
|
Geiger counters to the site.
|
|
|
|
"It was `hot'- highly radioactive," Du Pont engineer Lawrence
|
|
Cook reported. "We checked for 45 minutes-it was definitely
|
|
`hot.'"

|
In Puerto Rico, near dusk on December 26, 1964, Ramey Air
|
|
Force Base radar spotted two large discs. As A4D jets streaked up
|
|
to pursue them, the discs accelerated to terrific speed. Making
|
|
instant right-angle turns-impossible for any known aircraft-they
|
|
vanished over the Atlantic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On March 21, 1965, Capt. Yoshiaki Inada, piloting a Toa
|
|
Airlines Convair on a domestic Japanese flight, was chased by a
|
|
"mysterious, elliptical luminous object." Flying close to the
|
|
plane, the UFO blanked out his radio and "violently interferred"
|
|
with his automatic direction finding equipment.
|
|
|
|
Puzzling earlier cases also are being rechecked. On July 1,
|
|
1954, an AF F-94 - a two-man jet-was scrambled to chase a UFO near
|
|
Walesville, New York. When the pilot tried to close in, a sudden,
|
|
unbearable heat filled the cockpit. Half-dazed the pilot and radar
|
|
officer bailed out. The jet crashed in the street, killing two
|
|
children and their parents.
|
|
|
|
These odd phenomena, high radiation, mysterious heat and
|
|
electrical interference may be side effects of gravity control
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
Like most people, you probably took gravity for granted
|
|
before space flights began. Now you know, for example, that one
|
|
"G" is the Earth's normal gravitational pull. This is what holds
|
|
you to the seat of your chair-and more importantly, keeps you from
|
|
being tossed into the air by the Earth's rotation. You feel two or
|
|
three G's in a roller coaster or a stunting plane-a mere hint of
|
|
what our astronauts have to endure during blast-off and
|
|
acceleration.
|
|
|
|
But gravity causes a lot of trouble and expense we seldom
|
|
think about. Aircraft and rocket builders have to provide heavy
|
|
engines, huge weights of fuel, just to offset gravity. In
|
|
construction of buildings, bridges, and in a hundred other ways, G
|
|
affects our lives and adds billions to the cost of work.
|
|
|
|
Gravity control could reduce or end many of these problems.
|
|
|
|
How soon can we expect antigravity ?
|
|
|
|
Some researchers say it may take a long time. Others believe
|
|
there may be a sudden breakthrough. If that happens, there will be
|
|
some fantastic results.
|
|
|
|
First, obviously, our space program would take a big leap
|
|
forward. Instead of our present wasteful rockets, we could build
|
|
spaceships matching the UFOs' high speeds and maneuvers. With such
|
|
advanced ships, we could make swift flights to the moon and the
|
|
planets.
|
|
|
|
Recently, Alexander de Seversky stated that "with abundant
|
|
energy available, we will move in space with constant acceleration
|
|
or deceleration. Accelerating halfway to our goal and decelerating
|
|
the rest of the way at one G or 32.2 feet per second, the moon
|
|
will be reached in three and a half hours, Venus in 36 hours, Mars
|
|
in two days, Jupiter in six."
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Oberth, German physicist Burkhard Heim and other
|
|
scientists, gravity control will enable spaceships to reach even
|
|
greater speeds than these. With such advanced machines, we could
|
|
explore the nearest star systems a century or more ahead of our
|
|
present timetable.
|
|
|
|
Using carrier or "parent" ships with short-range probes, we
|
|
could fully explore a planet - either by remote control or direct
|
|
observation - before attempting to land. Many cases are on record
|
|
in which large UFO's have lunched small units, apparently for
|
|
close observation of the Earth, then retrieved them in swift,
|
|
precise operations.
|
|
|
|
In one such case (an official AF Intelligence report), groups
|
|
of small UFO's flying at 5240 mph. were seen and tracked by the
|
|
crew of an AF B-29. One group, after abruptly slowing to pace the
|
|
bomber, resumed its speed within seconds. The small UFO's were
|
|
then seen to merge with or go aboard a huge carrier which
|
|
accelerated to more than 9,000 mph before it disappeared.
|
|
|
|
Because of G-crafts' tremendous speeds, the picture of
|
|
possible military operations becomes hair-raising. Let's take as a
|
|
basis the figure in a documented case at White Sands Proving
|
|
Ground, where Navy scientists saw and tracked a UFO flying at
|
|
18,000 mph.
|
|
|
|
Such terrific speeds could put bombers back into the picture
|
|
in place of missiles. Attacks by G-bombers from base near major
|
|
targets would take less than five minutes. If a "brush-fire" war
|
|
broke out halfway around the world, a huge G-transport carrying a
|
|
fully armed division or even an army could be on the scene in 40
|
|
minutes, or less.
|
|
|
|
Another effect of gravity control will be a big change in air
|
|
travel. Here's what a G-liner trip would be like, according to
|
|
several researchers. Let's say you are making a making a flight
|
|
from New York to London. Your seat has no safety belts - none are
|
|
needed. The ship takes off vertically, accelerating at incredible
|
|
speed. You feel weightless but you feel no motion.
|
|
|
|
The airliner arcs up into a great circle course, silently,
|
|
with no "bumps" - no rough air. In 10 to 15 minutes, London
|
|
suddenly takes shape below. There is no long approach, skimming
|
|
over rooftops. You descend vertically and land. If traffic is
|
|
heavy, your pilot would stop the ship in midair and hover until
|
|
cleared.
|
|
|
|
In spite of the speed, you'd be safer - especially in regard
|
|
to many of the strange eddies which have thrown jet airliners into
|
|
uncontrollable dives.
|
|
|
|
In probing the riddle of gravity, project scientists try
|
|
widely different approaches - some even contrary to accepted
|
|
natural laws.
|
|

|
[Does the following experiment sound familiar???....Vangard]
|
|
|
|
Under an Army contract, a University of Detroit team has
|
|
built a 4,000-pound, specially wired rotor which spins at 100,000
|
|
rpm. With this unique device, scientists are testing gravitational
|
|
radiation theories searching for a possible key to G control.
|

|
|
|
|
Using gravity meters based on new principles of physics Air
|
|
Force teams make frequent flights around the equator and over the
|
|
poles, to speed up world wide measurement of the Earth's
|
|
gravitational pull. Tied in with this is a network of gravity
|
|
stations and special projects all over the world.
|
|
|
|
Though no breakthrough has occurred (unless in highly secret
|
|
projects) two significant facts have been established.
|
|
|
|
1. The Earth's G field is relatively weak, compared with the
|
|
pull of gravity between planets and the sun.
|
|
|
|
2. There is a connection between gravity and electromagnetic
|
|
fields.
|
|
|
|
Igor Sikorsky, discussing the colossal force of spatial G,
|
|
says a steel cable about 8,000 miles thick would be needed to hold
|
|
the Earth in its orbit - if it were not for gravity.
|
|
|
|
But, fortunately for our anti-G search, the Earth's gravity
|
|
pull, for objects on the ground or at average flight altitudes, is
|
|
fairly small. Likewise, the force required to cancel its pull
|
|
would be relatively small - if a method can be found.
|
|
|
|
Using various barriers we can shield ourselves from heat,
|
|
light and sound waves. But, so far, no way has been found to
|
|
create a gravity shield. Some scientists still call the gravity
|
|
shield idea a "lunatic fringe" notion. But many now refuse to say
|
|
that such a thing is completely impossible.
|
|
|
|
Are UFO's using a gravity shield ? In an effort to find out,
|
|
the Air Force is renewing its attempts to capture a UFO. If we
|
|
could get one on the ground, undamaged, it might make possible a
|
|
big shortcut in our gravity research and save us years of slow,
|
|
tedious scientific work.
|
|
|
|
[As many of our user have heard, this capture of one or more
|
|
UFO's is said to have done, refer reports by John Lear and
|
|
the physicist Lazar......Vangard]
|
|
|
|
In the past, many Air Force pilots have tried to down UFO's,
|
|
without success. But the Air Force has new reason for hope now,
|
|
based on the recent increase on low-altitude UFO approaches and
|
|
"touch landings."
|
|
|
|
On the night of January 12, 1965, an officer of a federal law
|
|
enforcement agency had a close encounter. As he was driving his
|
|
official car toward Blaine Air Force Station, in Washington, a
|
|
flying disc 30 feet in diameter hurtled down at his automobile. At
|
|
the last moment the disc arched up steeply, avoiding collision.
|
|
When the officer jumped out, he saw the UFO hovering overhead.
|
|
After a minute, it shot up into clouds at high speed. A short time
|
|
afterward, the UFO or a similar one - was seen landing in a field
|
|
near Blaine, melting the snow and scorching the ground before it
|
|
took off. When the AF questioned the federal officer, they said
|
|
they had tracked the UFO by radar as it raced down toward his car.
|
|
This officer, like many other UFO witnesses was warned by his
|
|
superiors not to let his name be used in connection with the
|
|
sighting.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On January 27, 1965, two NASA engineers sighted a UFO which
|
|
touch landed near Hampton, Virginia. One witness was Maj. John
|
|
Nayadley, a retired AF jet pilot. The other was A.G. Crimmins, who
|
|
saw the strange machine maneuvering toward the ground.
|
|
|
|
"It was zigzagging as if searching for a landing spot," said
|
|
Crimmins. "I watched it through 20 x 50 binoculars and I could see
|
|
flashing lights. They appeared to be on the rim of a rapidly
|
|
rotating disc."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before anyone could reach the spot, the flying disc took off
|
|
and rapidly climbed out of sight.
|
|
|
|
The step-up in UFO chases was demonstrated at Washington,
|
|
D.C. on January 11, 1965, when AF jets pursued several flying
|
|
objects over the city. The chase was confirmed by an Army
|
|
Lieutenant-Colonel and a group of Army communications specialists.
|
|
|
|
If jets had been near any of the "touch" sites, they might
|
|
have swarmed down and kept the UFO from getting away. But records
|
|
of previous attempts to capture UFO's indicate it will be a tough
|
|
job.
|
|
|
|
Whether we capture a UFO or not, the search for the elusive
|
|
secret will go on. The connection between gravity and
|
|
electromagnetic fields may provide the key to the mystery.
|
|
|
|
For several sears, Burkhard Heim, director of the German
|
|
Research Institute of Field Physics at Goettingen, Germany, has
|
|
been searching for the answer to the gravity riddle. Finally,
|
|
Heim revealed that by direct experimentation he had discovered a
|
|
positive lead to antigravity. The discovery involved an
|
|
intermediate field, neither electromagnetic nor gravitational.
|
|
|
|
[Refer to NAZI1.ASC on KeelyNet at 214-324-3501]
|
|
|
|
The results, Heim stated, if applied to space fight, would be
|
|
direct levitation, conversion of electricity into kinetic energy
|
|
without any waste, and "immunizing the occupants and the
|
|
structures of such vehicles against any effects from acceleration
|
|
of the vehicle, however great and violent."
|
|
|
|
After the first shock, several scientists examined Heim's
|
|
claims.
|
|
|
|
"His approach is not in conflict with known laws of nature,
|
|
and it agrees with the quantum theory," A.R. Weyl said in an
|
|
analysis for the British magazine, Aeronautics.
|
|
|
|
"If Heim's theories were right, the amazing properties
|
|
commonly ascribed to the `mysterious flying saucers' would be, in
|
|
fact, sound physics and proper engineering."
|
|
|
|
Through Heim's work toward the goal of an actual antigravity
|
|
force researchers may discover new scientific laws and their work
|
|
may invalidate old theories. Some scientists are already saying
|
|
privately that Einstein's famous "general theory of relativity"
|
|
may turn out to be totally fallacious. Newton's law has also come
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in for attacks. However, Robert Forward, G expert of Hughes
|
|
Aircraft Company, uses the Einstein theory to show that it is
|
|
possible to partially nullify the Earth's gravitational field.
|
|
The amount of nullification obtainable with present-day technology
|
|
is extremely small, however. Forward predicts that some day, when
|
|
our technology is greatly advanced, we will be able to "create
|
|
artificial gravity fields at will."
|
|
|
|
With a real all-out effort this could happen a lot sooner
|
|
than the 10 or 20 years many scientists have in mind.
|
|
|
|
But getting enough top men to work in the field is a problem.
|
|
One scientist says, "Scientists are sensitive about their
|
|
reputations and many of them still think antigravity is a joke. If
|
|
they knew the facts, they'd be eager to get into it."
|
|
|
|
Fear among scientists is partially due to the Air Force
|
|
censorship of UFO reports. Air Force censors not only hide the
|
|
facts but also belittle those who publicly report UFO sightings.
|
|
|
|
One recent victim was Dempsey Bruton, chief of satellite
|
|
tracking at NASA's Wallops Island station in Virginia. On January
|
|
5, 1965, Bruton saw a strange round object flying at terrific
|
|
speed toward the station. After it passed overhead, the UFO shot
|
|
straight up out of sight. Using the elapsed time of six to nine
|
|
seconds - and angles and times reported by other witnesses, Bruton
|
|
said the speed was definitely "several thousand miles per hour,
|
|
possibly 8,000 mph. or even higher." The AF, implying he was
|
|
incompetent, rejected the report and said it was not evidence of
|
|
any technically superior machine.
|

But AF policy notwithstanding, the drive to get the secret of
|
|
antigravity is well underway. It can't be stopped now. But it can
|
|
be speeded up. We are already spending billions on the space
|
|
program on the race to the moon, to Mars. Harnessing gravity could
|
|
put us years ahead and save us enormous sums of money.
|
|
|
|
With control of the universe at stake, a crash program is
|
|
imperative. We produced the A-bomb, under the huge Manhattan
|
|
Project, in an amazingly short time. The needs, the urgency today
|
|
are even greater. The Air Force should end UFO secrecy, give the
|
|
facts to scientists, the public, to Congress. Once the people
|
|
realize the truth, they would back - even demand - a crash G
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
For this is one race we dare not lose.
