Occult Ether Physics by William R. Lyne

Before the first real page of this book, it has already explained the UFO phenomenon pretty much entirely as well as how Tesla's work is both directly involved and obscured through hoaxes and misinformation. The description refers to flying saucers as "exclusively man-made" and based on 19th century technology by Nikola Tesla. It also outrightly accuses the government of a conspiracy to conceal these facts, by creating an entire industry of psuedo-science to throw people off the trail. Naturally I was interested in giving it a closer look.

Indeed, matters of the paranormal and supernatural have been a major cash grab for big media in recent years. I don't know how many bad UFO documentaries I've watched that start out expecting to find absolute proof of extra-terrestrials and then are surprised and disappointed when they come up empty-handed. But indeed, productions like this are nothing but a distraction from the real story.

William Lyne sets out to demonstrate that Tesla's space propulsion system eventually evolved into what we know as the Flying Saucer, by way of underground Nazi engineering. Legends of foo-fighters and other unidentified flying objects started coming from Allied airmen and it was pretty clear the Germans were up to something in the later years of WW2. Where the story blurs is post-war, with UFOs popping up over Roswell, New Mexico, it seems like the Germans aren't the only ones with the experimental craft.

In actual fact, a number of highly talented German scientists were brought into America somewhat under-the-radar. This is generally known as Operation Paperclip and several influential scientists like Werner Von Braun became instrumental in the American space program, not to mention intelligence. Taking into consideration the location of facilities like Area 51, and the time it took to resume research after dismantling the Nazi regime, it provides a perfect explanation as to why flying saucers started popping up in US airspace.

The capabilities of these craft did not match anything in the known arsenal of the US Air Force. The ability to reach speeds in excess of 5000mph, often in just a few seconds from a stand-still start, is probably what started rumours of advanced Alien technology. Whether the government started it or just chose not to deny it is almost irrelevant. Ascribing the technology to other-worldly visitors means not having to share it with other nations, or using it or related technology to overcome the energy demands of our time.
