"NARRATOR:" "Inhis1993book ," "Secret Societies and Their" "Power in the 20th Century, author Jan van Helsing told the story of a strange crash in" "Germany's Black Forest that occurred in 1936, three years before the start of World War" "II." "According to Van Helsing, residents living near the small town of Freiburg woke up to what sounded like a massive plane crash." "(crashing)" "But when investigators examined the crash, they found a strange disc-shaped object." "And inside were the remains of what appeared to be extraterrestrial beings." "Van Helsing also claims that within hours of the crash," "Hitler's SS troops took possession of the downed aircraft and its deceased crew and carried it away to their top-secret headquarters at" "Wewelsburg Castle." "There, it was believed, Nazi scientists began the task of reverse-engineering the technology found aboard the damaged craft." "But is there any evidence that this extraterrestrial space ship even existed?" "And would it have been possible to reverse-engineer it?" "BIRNES:" "Whatexistsare the  reports of scientists who claim to have read reports of analysis done on that craft and the propulsions system." "MICHAELDENNIN:" "The challenges in reverse- engineering it would depend a little bit on the nature of the power source it used and how it worked." "Right now, because we are such an electronically-based society, and it's almost all based on silicon electronics, um, if it wasn't that, it might be very, very hard." "But if it was close to what we did, then it would probably be pretty easy." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto  reports discovered after the war, German scientists began experimenting with anti-gravity technologies shortly after the alleged discovery of the alien craft." "One of these scientists was an" "Austrian inventor named Viktor" "Schauberger." "DENNIN:" "Hewasvery instrumental in talking about creative ways of using fluid motion to generate propulsions." "And a lot of it has to do with studying the way animals actually move through water or air." "JOERGSCHAUBERGER:" "He looked especially on the trout standing still in a raging torrent." "And he thought of, "How can this fish stand still in this river?"" "And then he thought of how nature works." "And he stated, it's not the animal itself, it's air or water that moves this animal." "A fish does not swim, it is swum, and a bird does not fly, it is flown." "So why can't we do this with machines?" "Move the air in a special way so that the vehicle is pulled, not pushed." "DAVIDCHILDRESS:" "Viktor" "Schauberger, he developed a type of vortex engine-- artificial tornado, as it were-- where vortex activity and gyroscopic activity could be harnessed with liquids such as water or mercury." "SCHAUBERGER:" "Mygrandfather" "Viktor Schauberger made some big inventions." "Inventions that lead maybe back to ancient times." "This is the so-called Repulsin, or Repulsine in German." "It was meant to be some kind of propulsion system mounted in a submarine or an aircraft vertically to create a field" "Viktor Schauberger called" ""biological vacuum."" "And the aircraft or the submarine should be sucked into this field." "The special shape of this device led to the story that" "Viktor Schauberger is the inventor of flying saucers." "NARRATOR:" "Atthetimeofits development, the Repulsin's inverse propulsion system seemed revolutionary, but" "Viktor Schauberger believed he had rediscovered an ancient technology." "SCHAUBERGER:" "Viktoralso refers to old Indian texts where he reads out of these texts that these older peoples, they used some kind of flowing magnetism that allowed them to overcome gravity." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto early" "Sanskrit texts discovered in" "India, aircraft called Vimanas used a similar propulsion system thousands of years ago." "Is it possible that German scientists viewed ancient texts like the Bhagavad-Gita not as legendary myth, but as a source of historical and scientific fact?" "STEVENS:" "TheGermanswere the best Oriental scholars in the world." "So they translated the, uh, the ancient text, Sanskrit, and later, into German." "CHILDRESS:" "AndtheGermans studied these ancient Indian epics and were familiar with the ideas of Vimanas." "And so, by combining that with this vortex technology and, allegedly, this crashed disc from 1936 in the Black Forest, they then came up with their designs for these flying saucers." "NARRATOR:" "In1939,three years after the reported crash at Freiberg..." "German scientists developed their own flying-saucer-shaped aircraft and called it the" "Haunebu." "Early prototypes had a diameter of 25 meters and were manned by a crew of eight." "CHILDRESS:" "TheHaunebuwas a classic flying-saucer design with a dome and windows on the top, with one large dome underneath." "STEVENS:" "Itwassortof contained ball lightning is what it was."

"NOORY:" "Hitlerwasobsessed with ancient mythology, he was obsessed with the occult, and more importantly, he was obsessed with trying to gain knowledge... that he believed he could muster before anybody else could." "So he spent an inordinate amount of time, energy and money all over the planet to try to get information about things that would give Germany an upper hand." "NARRATOR:" "Oneof themain groups advising the Nazi leadership was a secret society known as the Vril." "Members are said to have included the commander of the" "SS, Heinrich Himmler..." "Air Force Commander Hermann" "Göring... and the head of the Nazi Party," "Martin Bormann." "The Vril Society took their name from a 19th-century book written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton called" "The Coming Race." "In it, Bulwer-Lytton describes a powerful master race and an ancient mystical energy form known as Vril that could be tapped and controlled." "CHILDRESS:" "TheVrilSociety in Germany took their name from this force, this universal force, which, in Sanskrit, is known as prahna." "CREMO:" "Justlikeanengineer can use electricity to either heat a room or cool a room or make sound or do so many other things, it's one energy, but it can be manifested in different ways." "CHILDRESS:" "TheVrilSociety believed that this Vril power could power machines... and devices, and they wanted to use it for aircraft, discoid flying saucers." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto their beliefs, the Vril could tap into this energy because they were the direct descendants of extraterrestrials from the" "Aldabaran solar system that had come to Earth in the distant past." "Members of this pure master race were known as Aryans." "BIRNES:" "Theybelievedthat" "Aryans ascended from a race of" "E.T.'s and these E.T.'s imbued this Aryan race with tremendous power and meant for them to be the master race on Earth."

"NARRATOR:" "DidHitlerand the" "Nazis uncover any ancient atomic secrets?" "Just how close did they come to developing the ultimate weapon?" "And how much of their quest was guided by an outside hand?" "In a secret lecture in February 1942, German physicist Werner" "Heisenberg spoke of building a nuclear reactor designed to control fission and enable uranium to be converted into plutonium." "DENNIN:" "Inlayman'sterms, how the atomic bomb works, it's basically two stages." "The key element is you have to get uranium to split." "So you need a trigger for this reaction to happen." "And then you need it to have what they call a" ""critical mass."" "Enough of it together that once you get it to happen in one place, it can cause the next reaction, and next reaction, and next reaction." "So it's actually a series of explosions." "NARRATOR:" "Hitlerwasnow on the brink of having an atomic bomb." "But then the Germans suddenly stopped trying to build one." "But why did the Germans give up on their atomic program?" "Most mainstream historians believe it was due to its high cost and commitment amid a losing war effort." "Others suggest that the German scientists lacked the knowledge or possibly even sabotaged the project in fear of what Hitler would do with his new weapon." "NOORY:" "TheGermanscamevery  close to developing a weapon that would have allowed them to win the war." "All I can say is, "Thank God we beat them to the punch," because if they had gotten that technology perfected, we'd all be speaking German right now."

"NARRATOR:" "Mainstreamscholars believe the structure served as the concrete support base to a cooling tower used by a coal mine." "But according to Witkowski and others, the German high command would not have devoted so many military resources here if the valley contained only an energy plant." "They say the Henge was used to test a new, highly-advanced machine known as DieGlocke, or" "The Bell." "MARRS:" "TheBell,Die Glocke, was probably one of the top secret projects of the Third" "Reich." "It was so secret that it's even unclear on how much Hitler was told." "DR.STEVENM.

"NARRATOR:" "Survivingsketches depict The Bell as having a ceramic covering and dimensions measuring ten feet high and five feet in diameter." "Its design appears contrary to modern aerodynamic principles." "DENNIN:" "Ifyou'restarting to think about a bell shape for flight, the challenge you're facing, I think, is making it aerodynamic when you move around side to side and forward and backward, 'cause you're" "presenting a very large cross-sectional area to the air, and you're gonna generate a lot of drag." "So you might be very good if you wanted just, like, a hovercraft that went up and down, but once you start moving," "I think you're gonna run into trouble." "NARRATOR:" "Butif TheBellwas not a new type of aircraft, then what was it?" "According to some ancient astronaut theorists, The Bell may have been a time machine." "WITKOWSKI:" "Thereis akindof vortices named solitons-- vortices isolated electromagnetically from the outside world." "Recent research and experiments show that the link between gravity and electromagnetic physics is much stronger than the scientists thought for some time." "GREER:" "Thelawsofthe universe being universal, if you take the right electromagnetic field, and very high voltage, pulse it or phase it in a certain way, you can get some very strange phenomenon." "You can make things disappear and reappear." "Therefore, it follows to reason that this would be studied, and that the Nazi Bell was probably an attempt by that regime to develop some type of flying machine that would use these sort of advanced electromagnetic concepts." "NARRATOR:" "Butwastimetravel even a possibility?" "According to German-born physicist Albert Einstein, humans were theoretically capable of it." "DENNIN:" "HisTheoryof" "Special Relativity actually showed for the first time that time can slow down when you go very fast." "And so, that has an impact on going into the future." "It allows you to travel really fast somewhere, and your time goes slower than somebody else, and you end up in the future relative to what you thought you were doing." "The harder one to think about is general relativity, where" "Einstein talks about gravity, and how to describe gravity." "And there, you can start thinking about space-time, and bending it, and actually by warping space and time in the right way, you end up going backwards in time." "NARRATOR:" "Whileno records exist indicating The Bell was ever used during the war... as the Allied military forces pushed into Germany, the entire project and its commander, SS" "General Hans Kammler, suddenly disappeared."

"I think he took The Bell." "Did he create a wormhole?" "Did he create a stargate?" "And this is what the Nazis were working on." "NARRATOR:" "DidKammlerand  other Nazis really use The Bell to escape justice by disappearing across time, or possibly to another planet?" "Reportedly, the rest of the project team met a more sinister fate." "STEVENS:" "Theengineersthat worked on The Bell were put to death by the SS."
