Before the end of 1934, the RFZ 2 was ready, with a Vril drive and a “magnetic field impulse
steering unit”. It had a diameter of five meters and the following flying characteristics: With
rising speed the visible counters became blurred and the craft showed the colors typical of
UFOs: depending on the drive setting red, orange, yellow, green, white, blue or purple.
It
worked – and it would meet a remarkable destiny in 1941, during the Battle of Britain, when
it was used as transatlantic reconnaissance craft, because for these flights the German
standard fighters ME 109 had an insufficient range.
By the end of 1941 it was photographed over the southern Atlantic on its way to the German
cruiser Atlantis in Antarctic waters.
It could not be used as a fighter though.
The impulse
steering allowed it only changes of direction at 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 22.6 degrees, but
that is exactly the right-angled flying pattern associated with and typical for UFOs today!
After the success of the small RFZ 2 as a distant reconnoiter craft the Vril-Gesselschaft got
its own test area in Brandenburg. By the end of 1942 the lightly armed VRIL-1-Jager (VRIL-
1-fighter) was airborne.
It measured 11.5 meters across, carried one person, had a
Schumann-Levitator drive and a “magnetic field impulse steering unit”.
It reached speeds of
2,900 to 12,000 km/h. could change direction at a right angle at full speed without affecting
the pilot, could fly in any weather and had a 100% space capability. Seventeen VRIL-1s
were built and some versions had two seats and glass domes.
Also during this time another project was worked on, the V-7.
Several disks were built under
this code, but with conventional jet engines. ANDREAS EPP had designed a combination of
levitating disk and jet propulsion, the RFZ-7.
The design groups SCHRIEVER-
HABERMOHL and MIETHE-BELLUSO worked on it.
The RFZ-7 had a diameter of forty-two
meters, it crashed on landing at Spitzbergen, A second craft was later photographed
outside Prague. According to Andreas Epp this craft was to be armed with nuclear head to
attack New York.
In July 1941 SCHRIEVER and HABERMOHL built a vertical take-off round craft with jet
propulsion, but it had severe shortcomings.
They went on to develop an “electro-
gravitational flying gyro” with a “tachyon drive” which proved more successful.
Then,
Schriever-Habermohl and Belluzo built the RFZ-7 T that was fully functional. The V-7 flying
disks however were mere toys compared to the Vril and Haunebru disks.
Within the SS there was a group studying alternative energy, the SS-E-IV (Development
Group IV of the Black Sun) whose main task was to render Germany independent of foreign
oil. The SS-E-IV developed from the existing Vril drives and the tachyon convertor of
Captain Hans Coler the THULE DRIVE which later was called the THULE TACHYONATOR.
In August 1939 the first RFZ 5 took off.
It was an armed flying gyro with the odd name
HAUNEBRU I. It was twenty-five meters across and carried a crew of eight.
At first it
reached a speed of 4.800 km/h, later up to 17,000 km/h.
It was equipped with two 6 cm
KSK (“Kraftstrahlkanhonen”, power ray guns) in revolving towers and four machine guns
106. It had 60% space capability.
By the end of 1942 the HAUNEBRU II was ready. The diameters varied from twenty-six to
thirty-two meters and their height from nine to eleven meters.
They carried between nine
and twenty people, had a Thule Tachyonator drive and near the ground reached a speed of
6,000 km/h.
It could fly in space and had a range of fifty-five flying hours.
At this time there existed already plans for a large-capacity craft, the VRIL-7 with a diameter
of 120m. A short while later the HAUNEBRU III, the show-piece of all disks, was ready, with
seventy-one meters across.
It was filmed flying. It could transport thirty-two men, could
remain airborne for eight weeks and reached at least 7,000 km/h (according to documents in
the secret SS archives up to 40,000 km/h).
Virgil Armstrong, former CIA member and Green Beret, writes about German flying
machines during World War II that could take off vertically and fly at right angles.
