In Search of Aliens

I'm in Poland, at the former

headquarters for Hitler's subterranean weapons project...

to investigate the secret work the Third Reich and their

apparent interests in the occult, ancient wisdom and

possibly even advanced, extraterrestrial technology.

At the height of World War II, the Nazis engaged their top

scientists to develop a number of what they referred to as

Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons,"

weapons that were so diabolical and so scientifically

incredible they would turn the tide of the war against the the Allies.

According to testimony collected just after the war, one of these

top-secret projects was code-named Die Glocke,

or "The Bell", and it was believed to be a serious attempt

to create a time travel device that could soar through the sky,

and eventually maybe even reach the speed of light.

But following the war, no trace

of the Bell was ever found- only a handful of drawings.

I'm determined to find out

whether or not this device actually existed, and if so,

could it have been based on designs left behind by ancient astronauts.

Could there really be a link

between extraterrestrial visitors and the Third Reich?

My name is Giorgio Tsoukalos.

I explore the world that exists

between reality and speculation, the known and the unknown.

What we've been taught by mainstream scholars is not the whole picture.

I'm convinced that, every day, we are one step closer to the truth.

During the Second World War, it was widely believed that the

German Army possessed the most technologically advanced

military on the planet, boasting an arsenal that included guided

missiles, jet aircraft and precision bombers.

Adolf Hitler planned to use this weaponry to defeat the Allied

forces and create an empire that would rule the world.

But after they were defeated in 1945, more than 1,600 German

scientists were brought to the United States as part of

Operation Paperclip, and there are some who believe that these

diabolical minds brought secret knowledge that may have had an

extraterrestrial origin.

I'm in Ludwikowice, Poland, with Igor Witkowski, author of The

Truth About the Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons."

In 1997, while working as a military journalist, Igor was

shown original documents by a Polish intelligence officer

concerning a top secret Nazi project titled "Kronos" and a

mysterious weapon known as Die Glocke, or the "Bell."

Because Kronos, in ancient Greek mythology, is also the name of

the Titan god of time, there are some who believe that Project

Kronos involved the study of time travel, and Die Glocke

might have been part of some type of a time machine.

We are turning left and, uh, we are just about to enter the valley

in Ludwikowice, Poland, which was, uh, sort of a Nazi

equivalent of the Area 51, I guess.

Igor is taking me to a place called the Henge,

which is believed to be a former

Nazi science laboratory and the headquarters for Project Kronos.

So this entire valley was sealed off, and for what purpose was it sealed off?

I mean, what-what was so secret about this area?

Under this valley, there is a huge mine that, uh,

bankrupted before the war and was taken over by the SS for,

uh... for their purposes because it's, uh... it's something the

size of a medium-sized city underground.

Interesting. Okay.

Yeah. It's here.

Wow.

I mean, I'm-I'm speechless right now.

I mean, I don't even know what I'm looking at.

So this is what they're referring to as the Henge?

Looks as if it's made of

concrete, and, uh, I mean, it's a very interesting structure.

So what can you tell me about this?

It appears for the first time on, uh, aerial

photographs in, uh, September of 1944, so it certainly has been

built, uh, shortly before the end of the war.

And the entire valley was dedicated to research and

development purposes, and this is one of the objects here.

And do you think that this had something to do

with them building the Wunderwaffe and Die Glocke?

There is one clue about it.

The entire valley was sealed off from the outside world, and

this structure stands in the very center of the security rings.

The security rings consisted of, uh, lines of fortifications,

guarding rooms, uh, bunkers, uh, gates, blockades for tanks and

even lines of trenches, which is something very unusual because

this place was, uh, never close to the front line.

Interesting.

According to Igor, the entire valley is honeycombed with

chambers, tunnels and subterranean laboratories, all

once dedicated to the development of futuristic technologies.

So this here is ground zero for the Wunderwaffe.

Looking around, there's some power plants over here which

would require a lot of energy, and one has to wonder, what was it for?

The SS general Hans Kammler has, uh, built here an

enormous industrial research complex, and, uh, this power

plant here, which consumed around 1,000 tons of, uh, coal

per day, was used to power all that undertaking.

Leading the search for the Wunderwaffe was Nazi scientist Hans Kammler.

Some claim that Kammler was the most important officer in the SS

and masterminded the development

of cutting-edge projects based upon ancient knowledge.

Some have suggested that the

Henge was designed to test Die Glocke and that large chains

would have been attached to the bizarre structure so that the

bell-shaped craft would not fly away prematurely.

But the Henge is nothing compared to the vast network of

tunnels and chambers which lie hidden underground, the place

where many believe Die Glocke, or "the Bell," was constructed.

This is very creepy down here.

Very creepy.

It's cold.

Cold.

It's damp.

According to Igor, Nazi Germany's prisoners of war were

forced to participate in high-tech experiments here at the Henge.

This is the guard room.

There was a machine gun here.

These holes were for throwing grenades.

Wow.

I mean, this is crazy.

Yeah.

Exactly how many of these experiments were conducted

is unknown, but it has been documented that many former

participants suffered nerve damage and even a condition

where the skin was coming off the participants' faces, as

though they had been exposed to high levels of radiation.

So do you think that the Bell might've been a-a type of a

propulsion device for an antigravity machine or something like that?

The Germans were using a phenomenon which occurs when a

high-energy vortex of some kind is separated from the outside

world, and, uh, it is causing an antigravitational effect.

According to reports discovered after the war, some

have suggested that German scientists had been

experimenting with antigravity technologies and had been

developing a type of vortex engine powered by mercury.

The idea was that the mercury would spin in a gyroscopic

manner within a closed system and create lift, seemingly

defying gravity in much the same way many modern UFO sightings are described.

Are you aware of any blueprints that were ever discovered of

this Wunderwaffe, the way it might've been shaped, the way it might've looked like?

Somewhere... here, yes, you see, it's something that

resembles a bell and it is portrayed here as a part of

some larger propulsion system.

A time machine device embedded in something

that looks like a flying saucer.

Could such a device really exist?

And if it did, could it really travel through time?

You know, the first thing that jumps out at me is that they

named this thing here the "Vril Number 9."

And vril is something that refers to power in ancient

Tibetan and Sanskrit texts.

So why would anyone use this?

It's a very obscure term, this whole "Vril" thing.

What can you tell me about why

or how this "Vril" was actually used, in this context here?

What they have discovered is that one may

induce gravity from electromagnetic forces.

"Vril," in this case, seems to be the most accurate description

of the force that we are discovering.

According to Igor, The Bell disappeared at the end

of the war, along with its mastermind, Hans Kammler.

And there are those who speculate, to this day, that

both escaped through a window in time.

I'm at Castle Ksiaz in Lower Silesia, Poland-

a former development headquarters for many of Adolf

Hitler's top-secret weapons known as Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons."

Author and researcher Igor Witkowski has brought me here to

show me what he claims to be

authentic Nazi documentation for a device which some people

believe could have been some sort of a time machine.

Igor, do you think that maybe The Bell- that they also

sometimes refer to as Die Glocke- was a type of flying craft?

It was a combination of some flying machine with weapons of mass destruction.

It seems that The Bell was the main part of a propulsion

system, of a flying craft, not a flying craft itself.

But we don't know the rest of the picture.

It has been widely reported that the Nazis had an

almost fanatical desire to

locate and study ancient religious texts and artifacts,

which they believed possessed great power.

They were also fascinated by the

occult and the study of the forbidden or so-called "Dark Arts."

Although much of this ancient knowledge was lost at the end of

the war, much of it was thought to be taken by the Allies as

spoils of war and may have

served as the inspiration for many of the advanced

communications and weapons systems in use today.

The very idea of generating gravity was based on

scientific discoveries that they had made.

They were open, also, to the

idea of incorporating knowledge from the ancient past.

And to the very possibility of other intelligences in the universe.

This all seems highly advanced for its time.

It was such an advanced idea, the most secret research

project carried out in the Third Reich.

And I have a very interesting document here, which is signed

by the General Kammler, which says that it was, uh, engaging

all the forces of the SS at the end of the war.

The way Igor describes The Bell reminds me of

the numerous accounts in ancient

Hindu texts of the "vimanas"-

airships that could stop on a

dime and change direction at top
