History of UFO's During World War II
|
|
|
|
|
|
During world war II the accumulation of sightings of mysterious
|
|
celestial objects, finally started to worry the military authorities.
|
|
|
|
In both camps, high-ranking officials of the intelligence services
|
|
started to study these strange objects and investigation committees
|
|
composed of military and scientific personnel were set up in various
|
|
countries. They had a double purpose: first of all to determine the
|
|
nature of these flting objects and then to see if they constituted a
|
|
threat to the security of the nation.
|
|
|
|
During world war II, the Allies, just like the Germans, noticed the
|
|
persence of these enigmatic flying objects above their secret bases.
|
|
The first reaction of each side was obviously to suspect espionage on
|
|
the part of their enemy.
|
|
|
|
In 1943 the English were the first to set up a special group to enquire
|
|
into the question of these object. The British set up a small
|
|
organization to collect evidence. It was headed by Lieutenant General
|
|
Massey and was inspired by reports from a spy who, in fact was a double
|
|
agent operating under the orders of the Mayor of Cologne. He had
|
|
comfirmed that the "Foo-fighters" were not German devices, but that the
|
|
Germans thought that they were Allied weapons which, of course, the
|
|
British knew was not so.
|
|
|
|
Later in 1966, was learned from the British Aviation Minister that
|
|
project Massey had been officially classified in 1944. Perhaps it was
|
|
pure coincidence, but the double agent was denounced and executed at
|
|
the beginning of that year. For their part the Germans did not remain
|
|
inactive. But in 1944, the Wehemacht asked Oberkommando of the
|
|
"Luftwaffe (aviation)" to set up a center to collect information on all
|
|
the various sightings of these mysterious celestial object.
|
|
|
|
This was known as Sonderburo No 13 which, until the time of the German
|
|
defeat scrupulously applied itself to its job. The short time that this
|
|
commission was in existence prevented it from coming to any definite
|
|
conclusions, but it collected an impressive amount of information.
|
|
|
|
The first sighting, studied by the Sonderburo, went back two year and
|
|
came from a Hauptmann Fischer, an engineer in civil life. On March
|
|
14,1942, at 5:35 p.m., Fischer landed at the secret air base at Banak,
|
|
in Norway.
|
|
|
|
At that instant the radar picked up a luminous object and Fischer was
|
|
asked to go up and identify it. At about 10,000 feet the pilot caught
|
|
sight of the object, and gave a description by radio to the base: an
|
|
enormous streamlined craft about 300 feet long and about 50 feet in
|
|
diameter. The aerial whale which was Fischer's title for it stayed
|
|
horizontal for a long moment before rising vertically and disappearing
|
|
at great speed.
|
|
|
|
It was not a machine constructed by the hand of man, Fischer stated in
|
|
his report. On reading the report, Air Marshall Hermann Goering
|
|
concluded that the solitude of the north does not seem to have done
|
|
much for this pilot. The report of another interesting incident was
|
|
carefully preserved in the archives of the German Investiganion
|
|
Committee: that of the launching of an experimental rocket on February
|
|
12, 1944, at the Kummersdorf test center.
|
|
|
|
On that day the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, S.S.
|
|
Reichsfuhrer Himmler and S.S. Gruppenfuhrer Heinz Kammler were present
|
|
at the launching which was being filmed. Some days later the
|
|
authorities at the base organized a showung of the film. The astonihhed
|
|
spectators, could see very clearly a spherical body which followed the
|
|
rocket and circled around it.
|
|
|
|
The autorities immediately suspected Allied espionage. However, an
|
|
agent informed Himmler that the English were themselves victims of the
|
|
same sort of phenomenon and thought that it was a new type of German
|
|
prototype craft. However, the most convincing evidence filed away by
|
|
the Sonderburo came from a military flying ace.
|
|
|
|
On September 29, 1944, at 10:45 a.m., a test pilot was trying out a new
|
|
Messerschmitt jet, ME 262 Schwalbe, when his attention was suddenly
|
|
caught by two luminous points situated on his right. He shot at full
|
|
speed in that direction and found himself face to face with a
|
|
cylindrical object, more than three hundred feet long with some
|
|
openings along its side, and fitted with long antennae placed in front
|
|
up to about halfway along its length. Having approached within about
|
|
1,500 feet of the craft the pilot was amazed to see that it was moving
|
|
at a speed of more than 1,200 m.p.h.
