Synopsis
A new, revised edition of this classic book on suppressed technology: the early "flying saucer" technology of Nazi Germany and the genesis of man-made UFOs. While the government wants you to think that aliens are crashing their ships and buzzing military bases–this book presents the overwhelming evidence that most "nuts and bolts" UFOs are made on earth and piloted by earthlings. This important book takes us from the work of captured German scientists and escaped battalions of Germans who formed secret communities in South America and Antarctica, to today's state-of-the-art "Dreamland" flying machines. Heavily illustrated, this astonishing book blows the lid off the "government UFO conspiracy" and explains with detailed diagrams the technology involved. Examined in detail are secret underground airfields and factories; German secret weapons; "suction" aircraft; the origin of NASA; gyroscopic stabilizers and engines; the secret Marconi aircraft factory in South America; and more. Chapters include: June 24, 1947: A Day to Remember; A Bit of Science Fiction; The True Story of Project Blue Book; Mysterious Night Lights Over the Rhineland; Revolutionary German Anti-Aircraft Weaponry; The Advent of "Suction Aircraft"; A Time of Spectacular Possibilities; Nothing to Give in Exchange; How To Do the Impossible; Marconi's Secret Saucer Base; more. Hundreds of cool illustrations!
About the Authors
Renato Vesco was a writer and researcher. He is deceased.
David Hatcher Childress, known as the real-life Indiana Jones to the many fans of his books, is a captivating speaker and the author or coauthor of over 25 books. He has traveled the world several times over, seeking adventure and the answers to the mysteries of mankind's past.
Born in France in 1957 and raised in the mountains of Colorado and Montana, David's curiosity about the world was piqued at a young age. He attended the University of Montana where his studies in oriental culture and philosophy led him to a job teaching English in Taiwan. In 1976, David left the United States on what would become a six-year research and adventure odyssey. During this time, he studied first-hand the ancient civilizations of Africa, the Middle East and China, sometimes journeying into dangerous territory along the way (like Uganda during the overthrow of Idi Amin).
After more than 40 years of investigating these arcane subjects, David finds his unique views and ideas gaining popularity. He is currently a co-star on the History Channel show Ancient Aliens. This popular show is now in its eleventh season and David journeys to Peru, Bolivia and Mexico for episodes of the show. He has appeared on Fox-TV's Sightings and Encounters, two NBC-TV specials, The Conspiracy Zone, and segments for the Discovery Channel, A&E, the Sci-Fi Channel, the Disney Channel, The Travel Channel and others. David also appeared on the Canadian television show Weird or What?, hosted by William Shatner, in its 2011-2012 season. He is also a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio shows. He continues to explore, write and excite people about discovery through his magazine, World Explorer, and his publishing company, Adventures Unlimited Press. When not traveling, he divides his time between his homes in Illinois and Arizona. He has bookstores open to the public in both locations.
