device was responsible for the flying saucer sightings over the
USA that previous summer. This speaks for its operational range.
It was said to have been tested off Malaga while Franco watched.
The device was constructed in the town of Marbella, east of
Gibraltar. Finally, it was said to have been of German origin,
even naming the German scientists who built it.
Even Spain itself is of some interest here since this country's
ruler, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, was openly sympathetic to
the Nazis. The Nazis had assisted Franco militarily in the
Spanish Civil War during the 1930s and were instrumental in his
retention of power. During the final stages of the Second World
War and afterward Spain was seen, by the Germans as a safe haven
for all those things they wished to keep out of Allied hands,
including secret weapons. Many shipments of gold, secret
blueprints, specialty steel, machine tools, scientists and high
ranking Nazis were sent to Spain (3). Colonel Otto Skorzeny,
head of several SS post-war, self-help organizations even set up
his headquarters in Madrid (4). Spain served as a home-awayfrom-home for the SS after the war.
In analyzing the means by which the KM-2 device flew, it must be
noted that gravitational force can be overcome through the use of
a strong electrostatic charge as shown by the work of T. Townsend
Brown beginning in the 1920s. This is sometimes referred to as
the Biefield-Brown Effect. Imagine a torpedo-shaped model with
a dielectric center section suspended by a string from the
ceiling. If this model were charged with high voltage, one end
would become positive and the other end would become negative.
Movement would occur toward the positively charged direction if
the voltage was sufficient and the charged ends remained
separated by the dielectric (5).
This dielectric is an insulating material which can keep positive
and negative charges from interacting with each other and so
canceling each other out. They are commonly used in capacitors
or condensers which have a positive charge on one side while
retaining a negative charge on the other. If the charge can be
contained by the non-conducting dielectric, a force is exerted in
the direction of the positive side with the application of 75,000
to 300,000 volts. One way to conceive of this action is to
imagine a gravity hill whose slope increases with the intensity
of the ion charge. The craft being powered simply slides down
the gravity gradient like a surfboard on a wave (6).
This concept is a new, non-conventional form of flight. It is
non-aerodynamic method of flight. All previous conventional
flight had either been through the use of lighter than air
balloons, winged craft powered by propellers, jets or rockets or
the brute force of rockets themselves. Using this method, Brown
advocated defeating gravity by generating another form of energy
over which gravity could be surfed. It is a form of field
propulsion.
