Herman Oberth

My watching continues.  Lots of non sequiturs, and conjectures they gradually morph into established facts, but quite a few very interesting things which can be verified.

Here is another.  Herman Oberth was:

an Austro-Hungarian-born German physicist and engineer. He is considered one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics, along with the French Robert Esnault-Pelterie, the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the American Robert Goddard.

Here is his comment on UFO’s:

During the 1950s and 1960s, Oberth offered his opinions regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs). He was a supporter of the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the origin of the UFOs that were seen at the Earth. For example, in an article in The American Weekly magazine of 24 October 1954, Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries…” [17] He also wrote an article in the second edition of Flying Saucer Review titled “They Come From Outer Space”. He discussed the history of reports of “strange luminous objects” in the sky, mentioning that the earliest historical case is of “Shining Shields” reported by Pliny the Elder. He wrote, “Having weighed all the pros and cons, I find the explanation of flying discs from outer space the most likely one. I call this the “Uraniden” hypothesis, because from our viewpoint the hypothetical beings appear to come from the sky (Greek – ‘Uranos’).”

One interesting added note, for those who remember the 1990’s:

In 1958, Oberth was back in Feucht, Germany, where he published his ideas on a lunar exploration vehicle, a “lunar catapult”, and on “muffled” helicopters and airplanes.  

He also, near the end of his life, wrote a book called “Waehlerfiebel fuer ein Weltparlament”, which I cannot translate.  It is Voter/Chooser something for a World Parliament.  I can’t find Fiebel, which is not a word I know.  I pulled that off the German Amazon website.  Perhaps they intended “Fieber”, which is fever, or perhaps enthusiasm by metaphor.

In English it is “Primer for those who would govern: In a world parliament”, again from Amazon. I can’t find any information on it, but I think I can assume it was a Globalist manifesto of sorts, written by an ex-Nazi.

Then there is this: https://malcolmnicholson.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/nazis-atlantis-and-ancient-aliens/

What is fascinating about this is that the only claim you need to accept is that the Nazis believed this stuff, and that is likely easy enough to document.  Indeed, it is the point and purpose of the primary book referenced.  That the Nazis were deeply involved in occult beliefs is, I think, well documented.  Rudolph Hess flew to Britain because of signs he took from astrology.  Such is my understanding.

This world is a fascinating place.  I don’t know how it works, but I do know that I can increase my knowledge of new possibilities every day.
