saucers, prominently displaying a date of November, 1944. In
some of these drawings mention is made of a "Thule-Tachyonator".
This word "Tachyonator" obviously has its origins in the word
tachyon. This word bothered me for years but I loved those "old"
drawings so much that my nagging doubts were put aside. What
bothered me was the fact that this word never arose in my
introductory physics course in the 1960s. This ate at me until I
called the Physics Department at the University of California at
Los Angeles for their opinion as to the origin of this word. An
old physicist said from his memory the word was not even coined
until the mid-1960s, thus casting doubt on the technical
drawings. He gave me a reference and his memory proved correct.
The word "tachyon" was coined by Dr. Gerald Feinberg in 1966
(33). This means that there was no word "Tachyonator" in 1944.
Unless better evidence surfaces, the veracity of these documents
must be questioned. It hurts to admit that I count myself as
one of the people taken in by this deception.
