FTR #257 American Development of “Flying Discs” in the Post-World War II Period

Lis­ten: One Seg­ment

1. Build­ing on infor­ma­tion pre­sented in pre­vi­ous pro­grams, this pro­gram focuses pri­mar­ily on infor­ma­tion about a “fly­ing disc” devel­oped by the United States Air Force dur­ing the Cold War.

2. Obtained via the Free­dom of Infor­ma­tion Act, past gov­ern­ment doc­u­men­ta­tion pro­vides the basis for a very impor­tant arti­cle pub­lished in Pop­u­lar Mechan­ics. (“America’s Nuclear Fly­ing Saucer” by Jim Wil­son; Pop­u­lar Mechan­ics; 11/2000; pp.66–71.)

3. The arti­cle high­lights the devel­op­ment of a secret project to deploy a disc-shaped air­craft that could achieve space orbit at an alti­tude of 300 miles. (Ibid., p. 68.)

4. Named the LRV (Lentic­u­lar Reen­try Vehi­cle), the craft was to be armed with nuclear mis­siles and was, in part, to be nuclear-powered as well. (Ibid., p. 68.)

5. Based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Day­ton, Ohio), this project was devel­oped, in part, with Third Reich tech­nol­ogy and per­son­nel brought into the United States under Project Paper­clip. (Ibid., p. 68.)

6. Next, the broad­cast fur­thers a line of inquiry on the use of genetic engi­neer­ing and “UFOs” for the pur­pose of wag­ing polit­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal war­fare. The dis­cus­sion high­lights the con­tin­ued devel­op­ment of a human-cloning project by the UFO cult the Raelians. (“Leader Emerges for Dis­ci­ples of Human Cloning” by Tom Abate; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 10/12/2000; p. B5.) The Raelians espouse a cuddly-sounding total­i­tar­ian social sys­tem based on the allegedly supe­rior moral and tech­no­log­i­cal supe­ri­or­ity of the “Elo­him.” The lat­ter are an alleged space alien species.

7. They have begun a for­mal mar­ket­ing of their cloning tech­nol­ogy in the United States. (Idem.)

8. Among the ser­vices they are offer­ing is the cloning of cells from a deceased loved one. (Idem.)

9. Their leader promises poten­tial immor­tal­ity. (Idem.)

10. The pro­gram con­cludes with a look at a recent exper­i­ment in which cells from a jel­ly­fish were spliced into a rab­bit embryo and resulted in a rab­bit that, under cer­tain kinds of light, glowed like a jel­ly­fish. (“News Sto­ries About Tin­ker­ing with DNA Miss the Big Pic­ture,” by Tom Abate; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 9/25/2000; p. D1. This infor­ma­tion echoes some pre­dic­tions in Lec­tures 1 and 2.)

11. The use of Third Reich vet­er­ans of the rocket plane pro­grams that began with the ME163 (Pop­u­lar Mechan­ics; 11/2000; p. 68.)

12. A num­ber of aspects of the aircraft’s phys­i­cal con­struc­tion that cor­re­spond with actual ver­i­fi­able phys­i­cal evi­dence obtained from crash sites. (Ibid., p. 71.)

13. Repro­duc­tions of blue­prints obtained under FOIA. (Ibid., p. 69.);

14. Eye­wit­ness accounts and ana­lyt­i­cal infor­ma­tion indi­cat­ing that the LVR may very well have actu­ally been built. (Ibid., pp. 68–71.) (Recorded on 10/22/2000.)
