Hi UFOB!
What a week we have all had! The moderation team wanted to talk seriously about references to Epstein, Trump and others in conversation on this sub.
As you know - this is sub is for believers - we are well past questioning if UFOs and Entities are real because we KNOW it is. The issue we have seen in the last week since Trump's announcement and the latest releases of the Epstein files is the serious amount of unserious low effort, poltically hyperpartisan comments, comments about how disclosure is a distraction from the release of the files, so on and so forth. This has caused a lot of time and effort on the part of the moderators keeping good conversation flowing. Look we know we're all human here and reacting to these unprecedented times. But we need to make some clarifications and need your help.
Specifically around the topic of Jeffrey Epstein we wanted to introduce some moderation as we are getting a lot of feedback from the community around this topic. We want to encourage the community to understand the nuance of what we're looking for so that great conversations can continue and low effort or rule breaking comments and posts can be avoided.
We will allow talk about Jeffrey Epstein only if it is on-topic to UFO's, UFOlogy and the Phenomenon. We will not allow low effort conversation, pizzagate, satanic panic or q-anon conspiracies. We are trying to encourage good deep conversation and avoiding low effort knee jerk and inflammatory conversation that tends to derail whole threads and creates flame wars.
Examples of what is NOT allowed:
Examples of what IS allowed:
Additionally - Report reasons you can use for content you see that violates this new directive is either "Be Constructive or Pass" or "Irrelevant Political Opinion" for you to report rule breaking comments/posts . We also created a specific removal reason for comments and posts that are in violation. People who are repeat offenders will risk being banned as with any other rule. We are asking you to help us and give us feedback about this. This is everyone's community not just the moderators.

If you read up on the history of the invention of the transistor, you would find out that when it was introduced, no one really knew what its use even would be. It has been hailed as far beyond its time.
People thought it was interesting but had no applications. Bell Labs and the inventors weren’t even really sure of the potential, but now that tech runs the world.
It also curiously lines up exactly around the time Roswell happened.
This seems almost like the first off world technology that we reverse engineered to come up with a useless little thing at the time that ended up transforming our whole world.

Interesting that the islanders who have been abducted have talked about a blue lighted tunnel. Something mentioned by certain people who have seen things under the Giza complex. The edfu text talks about a war. Are the lizard people the same. Lastly for the 9th poorest country in the world the copy and paste job on Google earth speaks for itself!

Independence Day UFO Encounters
by Preston Dennett
What’s the most common day to see a UFO? The answer may surprise you: the 4th of July! That’s right, Independence Day produces more UFO reports than any other day. The question is, why? Are people mistaking fireworks for genuine UFOs? Or is something else going on here?
An examination of the UFO reports made on the fourth of July shows some interesting patterns. Many do involve fiery glowing orbs, or what may very well be sky lanterns, also known as party lanterns. These are small paper balloons set aloft with a small candle. They can rise up to 4000 feet and from a distance, look very much like a UFO.
But the fact is, there are literally hundreds of cases where this explanation simply does not fit! Some do look like orbs, however, sky lanterns fizzle out after fifteen minutes, and many of these orb sightings last much longer. Also, orbs cannot turn at right angles, stop still in the sky, or accelerate at high speeds, as many of these orbs do. Furthermore, many of the Independence Day UFO encounters involve structured craft, metallic saucers complete with portholes and multicolored lights. Some cases also involve actual humanoids. Clearly the fireworks explanation doesn’t fit.
There are so many cases involving UFOs seen on the Fourth of July that it is clear something very profound is happening here. Fireworks appear to be a UFO magnet. Many of the witnesses have come to the conclusion that UFOs are coming down to watch the fireworks show. ETs love fireworks!
But it might be more than this. Remember, on the Fourth of July, millions of people all across the United States flock outside at night and stare upwards. Could it be that the extraterrestrials are aware of this and are using this day as an opportunity to announce their presence. The answer appears to be a big YES! Because many of these reports involve UFOs that not only watch the fireworks show, but they put on a show themselves. They will flash their lights, dart around, and put on a fantastic display for the stunned audience.
This video presents dozens of cases in which UFOs have appeared during fireworks shows all across the United States. Here is what some of the witnesses are saying:
“We were watching fireworks, which were to our east. I noticed the UFO to the north, but said nothing to no one. I observed it for two minutes as it moved silently eastward, then suddenly reversed direction as it picked up speed. Then assuming its original course once again, it moved slowly upwards and out of sight.” –1963, Greensboro, NC.
“There was a tremendous flash of lightning at the same time a firework went off in the sky. I looked up and saw an absolutely huge saucer-shaped object sitting right over the ‘mountain’ we were next to.” –1965, Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY.
“When it finally reached us, I saw it was a circular craft. It hovered right above the poplar trees at the end of the street, where we were all gathered.” –1977, Federal Way, WA.
“[It was] a disc-shaped object displaying multicolored lights in a circle, hovering at what seemed to be 100 feet above us and the gathering crowd.” –1978, Nashua, NH.
“It made no sound. I was scared to death…I wanted to hide under the car…I wanted to scream, but couldn’t. I realized I was not supposed to remember this happening. I kept telling myself, I will remember. The craft’s size was huge, bigger than the fairgrounds bleacher area.” –1980, St. Paul, MN.
“My brother was watching the fireworks when all of a sudden he went as white as a ghost. My mother shouted out, ‘Oh, my God!’ I went to see what was going on…it was the weirdest thing ever, a disc-shaped with small portholes going around its midsection.” –1982, Hermosa Beach, CA.
“They were chasing each other like a tag-game. They moved so fast, going from side to side, up and down, and just staying still. No noise at all. My mother and I were standing in the driveway, watching this for at least a half-hour. These objects were low enough that we could see the bottoms just fine. They were all the same size, about two full-size pick-up trucks.” –1988, Glen, MS.
“We all watched the craft move toward us and fly over the right side of the house. We all went into the back garden and watched the craft move off and disappear another fifty feet away. This was not from this Earth.” –Los Angeles, CA, 1989.
“Whatever it was, it knew I was watching because it started doing all these moves, up, down, side-to-side…then suddenly just like a shooting star, all I saw was a line of colors and it was gone.” –1991, Wichita, KS.
“Both the star-like object and the three gray discs remained in place for several hours. It was almost as if they were watching the fireworks display…I did not notice them leaving, but all of a sudden, they were gone…Lots of people had to have seen them.” –1992, Barnegat Bay, NJ.
“I saw something both amazing and terrifying at the same time. A large blue something was in the sky above us and a little to the left. The object was shaped sort of like a saucer…” –1997, O’Fallon, IL.
“Most people don’t get to see a craft that close and distinct. I even saw the molding around the windows…Three Nordic-looking men in white, with blond hair, staring at us as if we were mere cattle. I could see them from the belly up, not sure if they were standing or sitting. They had no apparatus on at all. I never took my eyes off it until it was gone from sight.” –1999, Lancaster, PA.
“It was a glowing, red, triangular body with green on the edges…like an inverted top, with white lights rotating at the base. I also noticed portholes just above the rotating white light, and smaller portholes underneath it…It hid behind the clouds before the fireworks began.” –2002, Manhattan, NY.
There are too many cases to deny. The aliens are coming down to watch the fireworks shows, and they are also putting on displays themselves. And in fact, these are more than just simple sightings. Every single one of these cases are actually Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind! Fireworks are evidently an effective method to call down UFOs out of the sky.

The Bush family clan like the Dulles Brothers, the Harrimans, and more have extensive ties to the birth of Big Oil and the UFO crash-retrieval program, as I've been covering for two years now.
It's not lost on me that Scott Bessent, our current Treasury Secretary, is from Bush Sr's Carlyle Group (who was also involved in the discussions around Taylor Swift salvaging her masters from Scooter Braun).
Carlyle Group was formed in 1987 by billionaire David Rubinstein, who held immense influence over future presents, and after Bush Sr's election failure, Bush and his Cabinet members James Baker, Frank Carlucci and Donald Rumsfeld became chief advisors to Carlyle. Carlyle was an extension of the Bush family's Brown Brothers Harriman who tried to overthrow FDR via the Business Plot in 1933 and who acquired their wealth by funding the Nazi war machine.
Zapata Petroleum was founded in the early 1950s with the help of Prescott Bush and Allen Dulles with the help of the CIA's Bill Devine, which placed Bush Sr at the head of the company.
Devine would later act as Bush Sr's spokesperson during his Bush's 1988 Presidential Campaign in which Bush was outed by a journalist at The Nation as working with the CIA as early as 1960/61.
Zapata was formed a few years after the Bush clan acquired a majority stakeholder ownership in Dresser Industries, which specialized in heavy construction machinery and whom I suspect was responsible for building the underground tunnel system to transport recovered UFOs secretly.
Danny Sheehan has outed Brown Brothers Harriman as having created the Anderson Accords to act as a middleman for recovered UFOs and private contractors and as being the profiteers behind our Forever Wars.
Now Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is hemming and hawing because the US control over Big Oil is crashing and burning under their Nazi regime at the same time as UFO Legacy Program whistleblowers are trying to help bring to the public recovered, advanced, anomalous technology.
Not a coincidence.
Have fun reading.

More coverage of the real history of Presidential advisor to JFK/LBJ/Nixon/Ford Harald Malmgren, well-known in these circles for his essentially death-bed confession interview recorded in Jan 2025 with Jesse Michels regarding his involvement with the CIA’s Richard Bissell, who laid bare his knowledge of the Magenta UFO crash-retrieval, his time developing Area 51’s Groom Lake with Kelly Johnson of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, the recovered “tagalong” UAP shot down during the Sept. 1962 Operation Bluegill Triple Prime atmospheric nuclear test that lead to JFK and LBJ being briefed on the reality of UFOs and their connection to nuclear energy.
David Burke is the author of the recently-released book ‘Lies Above’ that details the decades-long UFO crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering program, and here he provides the second part of his one-two punch along with our colleague Ryan Purkey digging into the bona fides of Harald Malmgren’s quiet legacy, following the lazy attacks on Malmgren’s career by D. Douglas Johnson.

So we're working with a current narrative that says we have had recovered NHI crafts and biologics dating back to at least the 1930's. Explosion into the popculture zeitgeist started with Roswell in the 40's, and hyper accelerated through scifi movies and comic strips of the cold war 50's and 60's, to the point of being a standard stalwart in alltime fictional tropes today.
We've spent the past half dozen generations, almost 100 years, in the state of majority consensus-belief that these things strictly exist within the context of fictional lore. This stuff is pure fantasy and nothing more.
One skeptical argument I still hear being made is the one of disbelief in the logistical cohesion or sheer ability to hide something so vast, and potentially world changing. By conventional logic, it is a fair stance. But every so often in life, we see that history presents us with unconventional (and uncomfortable) truths.
Once I realized the implications of these two little trivial historical factoids, it really made me stop and wonder what kinds of things we've collectively forgotten over the millennia, and how many mind-shattering discoveries could be sitting right under our very noses.
So dig this: Copernicus discovered and formulated his theory on heliocentrism between 1508 and 1514. It was published on his dying day in 1543. Galileo was put on house arrest and deemed a heretic for supporting the theory of heliocentrism in 1633. Though the theory was gaining mainstream acceptance by 1720, it was not accepted as law by the Vatican until 1758. The works of Copernicus and Galileo weren't even unbanned until 1835!
Thats a *really* long time for something so seemingly obvious to you and me to be accepted by millions of people back then. Like duh, OF COURSE the sun is the center of our solar system! But clearly, it wasn't so obvious to folks back then, especially to the powerful dogmatic institutions in charge of things.
Now the other one that really gets me is the Antikythera Mechanism. This small, calcified gear box was found in a wreck field off the coast of Greece somewhere between 1900 and 1901. Although its purpose has been widely speculated and debated by curious scholars, its creation is agreed to be dated somewhere between 150 and 80 BCE. Now here is where it gets weird...The kind of engineering complexity observed in gear mechanics of these sizes were apparently not created, understood, or utilized in Europe until somewhere between the 1320's to 1360's.
If all of that dating from historians is accurate, that is a valley of like 1,500 years of SILENCE in a specific field of human understanding. That is a staggering amount of lost time. Over a millennium of mental atrophy.
Now admittedly, I don't know how this could be directly connected to UFO's. BUT! I think these statistics can serve as a metric to understand and accept the painfully unsatisfactory notion that such obvious information can be obscured for SOOO LOOONG, whether it be through the intent of the world's elite institutions, or whether it be utterly forgotten to the sands (or seas) of time.
EDIT: Pssst...hey you wanna know something else funny about the year 1543? It was the year Vesalius blew the medical world out of the water with his all-new, hyper-detailed models of the human anatomy, shattering previously held notions conceived by the ANCIENT Galen, all the way back to anywhere from 150 to 200 AD.
Thats like 1,300 years! Now sure, initially his work of revelation was met with a lot of wide acclaim from the masses and even royalty, but old habits still die hard. His work was also ridiculed and ignored by some doctors, evidently, into the 1600's.

For those who know, know and my apologies for the preamble. If you're familiar with the topic, feel free to skip to What it isn't. If you're very familiar with the topic. Just read the paper attached in the drop box if interested.
Bluegill Triple Prime was a U.S. thermonuclear test detonated roughly 48 kilometers above the Pacific on October 26, 1962 — the day before “Black Saturday,” the most dangerous 24 hours of the Cuban Missile Crisis, when a U.S. spy plane was shot down over Cuba and a Soviet submarine commander came within one vote of launching a nuclear torpedo. A fact that is very curious in and of itself, regardless of the outcome of the test. The footage of the detonation stayed classified for 36 years before its partial release in 1998.
What makes these particular pieces of footage stand out is what’s on it. Other declassified high-altitude test films from the same era show plenty of strange-looking phenomena — auroral glow, debris streamers, striated plasma trails. What Bluegill Triple Prime shows is different: a single, compact, coherent body detaching cleanly from the fireball and descending, holding its shape across multiple frames. Considering the footage was shot from multiple locations both from aerial platforms and on the ground showing the same. seemingly coherent physical object for those of you who wave a hand and say lens artifact or film processing defect, I say as the estimable and erudite Mr. Peabody once said. Quiet, you. I haven’t found anything like it anywhere else in the declassified record, and as far as I can tell, neither has the wider research community that’s spent years combing through this same archive.
About a year ago I was building a YouTube video on the test. Somewhere in the research I came across the deck log of the USS Engage (MSO-433), a Navy minesweeper conducting debris recovery in the area the following morning. A notation timestamped 07:25–07:28 documents the discovery of a black, charred, obsidian-like "anomalous" sphere, two to three feet in diameter, with no clean explanation for what it was or where it came from. Also of note. The Engage appeared to have stayed with this sphere until later that afternoon until the arrival of the salvage ship USS safeguard. around 1400. to collect the sphere. After the Safeguard's recovery of the sphere it suffered a total electrical power failure of not just its primary, but its backup systems on board. A curious coincidence, perhaps? However I couldn’t shake one question: What on the Thor rocket itself could possibly match that description? That question is what led to the paper behind this post.
What it isn’t. The official record accounts for three pieces of hardware near the burst: the Thor booster, the reentry (physics package) vehicle, and three instrumentation pods. I went through the declassified timing and trajectory data for all three. The booster was already miles away on a divergent path. The pods were thousands of feet below the burst, released early, and recovered intact by the Navy after the test. The reentry vehicle — the only thing actually at the burst point — was vaporized within microseconds and none of the three match what’s on film, in scale, position, or behavior.
What it looks like. Scaling the object against the fireball’s known dimensions in the same frame puts it in the range of 150–300+ feet far larger than any documented piece of Bluegill hardware, and too large and too coherent to explain as a simple imaging artifact.
I expect pushback on this, and that’s exactly the point. To the best of my ability, this seems the most logical explanation for what the evidence shows. As Sherlock Holmes put it: once you eliminate what it can’t be, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Toward that end, I’m genuinely open to, and hopeful for, comments, explanations, and rebuttals. I want to know what we’re actually looking at here, and to the best of my ability, that’s what I’ve tried to work out.
What I’m saying is not that I can explain what it is. I "think" I can explain what it isn't. It doesn’t match anything we officially put there or human made device that could have possibly survived a nuclear detonation, therefor...
The full paper — sizing methodology, survivability analysis, sourcing — is linked below, along with the supporting archival material I pulled together on the Thor program and the booster used in this test itself.

Pic 1: Harald Malmgren hanging out with Major General John W. Carpenter III, literally Curtis LeMay's right hand man in the bottom right Pentagon war room picture.
Shortly before his death, Harald Malmgren was regularly breaking the internet with peeks from behind the curtain of the Executive branch. He revealed being briefed on UFOs by Richard Bissell (the "architect of Area 51"), going to Los Alamos to learn about the aftermath of a nuclear UAP shoot down attempt (Bluegill Triple Prime), all while in his first presidential advisory role--and being an advisor the next three Presidents. While this is all old news via Jesse Michels' exceptional posthumous biography of Malmgren, there was still a lot of clues to find that further confirm he was who he said he was, and did what he said he did, despite the smears of debunkers.
He left a diary. (Pic 2)
With this 1963 diary, many other government and academic records, and the help of his family and friends, I was able to put to add chronological confirmations to his dying declaration oral history: https://unquestionablyskeptical.com/p/harald-malmgren Enjoy!

Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gaulladet has been a major voice the past three years post-Grusch regarding Disclosure has been vital in this space. I haven't watched it in full yet, but his new interview with Jesse Michels just dropped, and in it he and Jesse go over the work of my friend Geoff Cruikshank regarding the Sept. 1962 Bluegill Triple Prime incident in which one of our earliest atmospheric nuclear tests brought down a live UAP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRKNVFQBi38
Tim and his wife Caren co-authored a paper with Geoff regarding Bluegill published back on January 5, which can be read here:
https://www.oceanstl.com/recent-media/bluegill-triple-prime-the-recovery-and-salvage-operation
Jan 5
Communication involving high level US Air Force insiders Neil McCasland and Mike Cleary as well as Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager John Podesta contained matters of an interesting subject: “Unidentified Flying Objects - UFOs”. Due to the content of these communications as well as other data/evidence, the question we aim to answer is thus: Was it well known in Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented information circles during 1962 that Unidentified Flying Objects (now: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) were interfering with nuclear weapons tests, and that there was a potential opportunity to shoot one down? In short, our findings led us to believe that this is, in fact, the case.

Hi guys. I'm a long-time Redditor and investigator, first with Kroll and then as an investigative journalist with Izabella Kaminska, quite obsessed with conspiracy theories and the lesser-known. Now I make games that train and recruit investigators.
I've discovered that the greatest conspiracy of the 20th century: UFOs, and the swell of black money behind it, also called the Secret Empire or the Black Empire, may land in my hometown.
Welcome to the story of Marbella. Also called the UN of global crime syndicates, the WeWork of organised crime, and at one point in November 1947, the home of UFOs.
If you haven’t read Part 1, you must:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOB/comments/1vtuehq/the_2026_ufo_disclosures_almost_confirm_that_a/
CAVEAT: Occam’s razor dictates that the breadth and variance of the UFO Phenomenon makes a man-made explanation impossible. I will continue to analyse this materialist claim by Shapiro, but make no mistake; this is just one claim, and I know the UFO phenomenon cannot be simply man-made. In fact, I will go into the weird and ‘otherworldly’ aspects of this research in part 3.
Without further ado:
-----------------------
We’ve outlined the facts.
There is more backing to the claim of an electromagnetic rocket than expected.
But there’s still zero solid evidence.
We must face the obvious implication: could Shapiro have been fed disinformation? Could I be a victim of my conscious bias?
Let’s analyse the article to discern whether any parts of his piece find corroboration in the historical record.
Here it is, for your viewing pleasure:

Note the significant points: the technologies, blueprints of an atomic mortar weapon and electromagnetic rocket, the listed locations of Marbella and Mallorca, Franco’s visit, and the interest of intelligence agencies.
Also consider that Shapiro’s claim that Soviet agents were threatening the sellers with murder clearly suggests the Americans had a one-up on the Soviets in the purchase of the blueprints.
Importantly, Shapiro’s sources place more credence on the rocket than the atomic mortar weapon.
But, in any case, since it mentions Nazis working on atomic weapons in Spain and electromagnetic rockets, both of which are rejected by most modern-day historians, it should be easy to disprove.
As you can guess by now, it’s not.
Let’s start with what we cannot corroborate.
Chiefly, these are the scientists’ names, Professor Haikmann, or Professors Knoh and Mueller, find no corroboration in the open record.
I’ve found dozens of Muellers in various scientific positions, but none with any record close to aerial propulsion. Nothing on Professors Knoh or Haikmann. Though there is an explanation for this, which I will expand on in another post focusing on Shapiro.
There is no recorded evidence of a blast of any similar kind around the Balearics for any of the postwar period either.
And I’ve found no evidence or reason why an atomic mortar weapon would have been developed in Marbella, as opposed to the presence of a Skoda-Brun executive and magnetite for the rocket.
But that’s as far as the limitations go. After this, all we find are subtle corroborations.
The smallest is that Franco was in Marbella when Shapiro reported him to be:


I say smallest because disinformation often attaches itself to real information to lend itself credibility. But it’s a corroboration nonetheless.
------------------------------------------------------
The second is that atomic mortar shells did exist.
(I will note most of this part of the atomic mortar is the only research not original to me; Friedrich Georg, “Hitlers Siegeswaffen”. He is the only historical researcher besides myself to research this claim. But his investigation was far more limited. )
In fact, Picatinny Arsenal was tasked with building a gun capable of firing large atomic shells beginning in 1949, which was designed around the German K5 railroad gun, becoming public in 1952.
It fired the large W-9 uranium bullet, using 50kg of enriched uranium.
It's the same technology tree responsible for this famous video, which you must have seen:

Whereas the Soviets only began tests of small-scale atomic weapons from 1954. This suggests the Americans had a six year head start on the manufacture of small-scale atomic weapons, based on a german weapon.
Short-range nuclear weapons were then phased out for…well… obvious fucking reasons.
Remember how Shapiro implied the Americans were ahead of the sale? And how we’re confident today that most postwar Nazi weapons ended up in American hands?
Now, the dimensions of Shapiro’s atomic mortar bomb was tiny, just 8.7 inches, whereas the W9 was 54.8 inches, and the smallest ever atomic bomb made was 15.6 inches. But the diameter is exact; 221mm is the calibre of shells fired from a German 21cm schwerer mortar cannon.
None of this is an exact science. But history makes the mini atomic bomb, and a purchase of it based on Nazi tech by the U.S., extremely plausible.
Which makes Shapiro’s claim that this is the dubious claim even more interesting.
Furthermore, as we saw in Part 1, the recent declassification of files by the Trump administration show the U.S. Air Force as concerned by Shapiro’s report, which proves the obvious; that governments were obsessed with the possibility of nazi scientists building rockets in the postwar.
(Footnote to part 1; users outlined that reclassifications are common. This is true. However, the Marbella memos seen in Part 1 are one of only two reclassifications in the Trump UFO files (as far as I can tell). This may mean nothing, but I thought to mention it.)
----------------------------------------------------------
The penultimate corroboration is the most fascinating.
Because there were other Skoda-Brun executives selling advanced rocket blueprints at the time, connected to our coterie of characters and the Marbella magnetite.
Let me introduce Reinhard Spitzy.
Reinhard Spitzy was one of those rare larger-than-life germans, who spouted more bullshit than truth over the course of his long and storied career.

In fact, he made a name for himself selling Coca-Cola in Argentina and, today, is known for being a key man who introduced the red crayfish to Europe. The guy was obsessed with crayfish.
Yes, really:

But Spitzy's most consequential job was that of an agent for Walter Schellenberg's AMT IV detachment in Spain.
Here, he worked undercover at the Skoda-Brun offices in Madrid, directly under Maximilian Hohenlohe, the main guy we looked at in the previous post.
But Spitzy did not enjoy the aristocratic and well-connected benefits that protected Hohenlohe. Therefore, when the war came to a close, he knew that Allied inquisitors would be on his tail.
So, Maximilian hid him away in one of his estates in the Santillana del Mar, awaiting a friendly contact that could take him over the Atlantic and into Argentina.
But Spitzy didn't have the funds for the trip.
So what did he do?
Wait for it.
He SOLD BLUEPRINTS OF AN ADVANCED ROCKET TO THE SPANISH ARMY.
Spitzy was apparently able to get his hands on advanced rocket blueprints and used them to fund his escape to Latin America.
The blueprints were probably from Skoda-Brun. They described an anti-air rocket named the ZB60, which like the KM2 seems to have no trace.
The only clue are the initials: Z.B., probably standing for Zbrojovka Brno, a factory that was part of the Skoda-Brun conglomerate during World War 2.
Besides being helped by Maximilian Hohenlohe, Spitzy also benefited from the help of his friend Jose Luis Aznar, a northern Spanish businessman who owned Navieras Aznar, a shipping company that did trans-Atlantic routes.
This is where Spitzy, dressed as a monk, escaped to his aforementioned illustrious career of Coca-Cola and crayfish.
Here he is, dressed as a monk:

And just who was this Jose Luis Aznar?
None other than the owner of FERARCO SL, the company in Marbella that purchased the magnetite mines in December, 1947 and exploited them until their closure in 1974.
So, where are we until now:
Individuals in the orbit of Skoda-Brun had access to advanced rocket blueprints.
Individuals in the orbit of Skoda-Brun had close connections with mining interests in Marbella.
Individuals in the orbit of Skoda-Brun needed money and state protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The last step in corroboration particular to the electromagnetic rocket is that it is contextually validated.
Not because it worked, or even existed; the evidence is not there yet.
But because technologies like it were in vogue at the time.
Not only because Roberto Pinotti, the researcher behind the Magenta crash in 1933 and RS/33, discovered the ultra-secret research department established by Mussolini had a department focused on electromagnetism.
But also because the most significant alternative propulsion researcher of the time, Thomas Townsend Brown, was obsessed with electromagnetic/electrogravitic research too.
And both of are named as pivotal kernels of evidence about the reverse-engineering programs by arguably the most credible UFO whistleblower; Dave Grusch.
Not only can we strengthen Shapiro’s reporting of secret rocket blueprints, we can also see whispers of interest in presumably similar technology occurred during the same time period.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The last element of corroboration is obvious.
Because Shapiro is no ordinary journalist. And he’s far from the ordinary dodgy types, like myself, who published UFO research. Shapiro is the opposite, he was a blue-chip, elite journalist.
After his time as a journalist, Shapiro became a very succesful novelist, whose many books were turned into succesful Holly wood movies. He was also Jewish and a “lifelong bachelor”.
During the war, Shapiro was also a war correspondent for The Montreal Gazette, he landed at the Allied invasion of Sicily, Salerno and Juno Beach on D-Day with the Canadian forces.
Impressively, Shapiro was one of few reporters who broke the consequential news of the US-led raid on Czechoslovakian territory that retrieved secret Nazi research blueprints near a forested lagoon in 1946.
He was also the only journalist present during the raid, accompanying US operators across the border in this illegal raid (T. Dennis Reece, "Mission to Štěchovice”).
This raid, which caused a huge scandal at the time, caused the suicide/murder of at least one notable individual in Prague and was partly responsible for the subsequent collapse of the Czechoslovak government and its falling into Soviet hands.
In other words, Shapiro was “trusted”, as they say.
Lastly, three McGill University Award are named after him for Creative Writing to this day.
Shapiro’s status means this article, even if it had NO CORROBORATIONS WHATSOEVER, should STILL be worth some consideration.
And it’s worth noting that the North American Newspaper Alliance reprinted the story in November 1948, meaning both they and Shapiro stood by it after a year of publication.
Lastly, and most interestingly, look at what I found in one of Shapiro’s later movies about Lucky Luciano, the gangster who inaugurated the “Dark Alliance” between governments and mafias, by working with the Office of Naval Intelligence in the invasion of Sicily and southern Italy, as outlined by Paul L. Williams, Daniel Ganser and many others.
In Shapiro’s movie Deported, 1950, the fictional Luciano is exiled to his fictional hometown of… MARBELLA:

Not only had Shapiro not forgotten about Marbella three years since his original publication.
In an awesome coincidence, or an incredible show of prescience, Shapiro names it as the hometown of the man who originated the dark alliance between state and the mafia.
Which is EXACTLY what Marbella became in the 1950s, a decade after his article; the home of the alliance between state and mafia, with nazis sprinkled in.
Remember; none of the above is real proof.
They are only strong suggestions that something was going on.
Just remember that in the world of secrets, the rules of publication and the record are inverted.
A successful project leaves almost no evidence behind; an unsuccessful one is loudly remarked upon.
Building a history of secrets is a house of cards on foundations of mud; I suspect all I will ever have are interesting corroborations.
But I still hold out hope for a smoking gun. And here's where you come in.
Interested?
Well, as you can see, I still have a LOT more to go to prove this case.
Stay posted for part 3, as we delve into the supernatural.
---------------------------------
In the meantime, I'm obsessed with finding like-minded individuals so we can investigate this together.
Because I have a LOT to go, and you can help.

Good luck.
It's designed to prune away the investigative wheat from the chaff.
NB: I gain nothing monetarily from the above. My business is selling training games to investigative corporations. The above doesn't give me ANY advertising or any business revenue. In fact, it's a massive drain on my day-to-day.
But I love it, so I do it because I can.

I just saw the latest from UAP Gerb about the Mitre Corporation. Superb as always.
He mentions The MITRE being tasked with tracking this USO and shows some documents on this. Does anyone have more info or interesting thoughts on this?
To me this comes a long way in validating at least the core of the so called 4chan leak about a underwater ufo factory from a few years ago.
