appeared before the modern computer age are perhaps best. Also,
pictures accompanied with negatives may be considered better
documents than those without negatives.
Government documents can be great sources of confirmation.
Unfortunately, governments cannot be trusted and have historically
attempted to manipulate UFO research. Therefore, these sources
are best not used to formulate ideas but to confirm ideas first
developed through independent sources.
Politically, time is on our side. Since the Berlin Wall fell, more and
more German researchers are going public with their findings. There
is more freedom to research this subject now than at any time in the
past sixty years. As each piece fits into the puzzle, a consensus of
public acceptance acknowledging the reality of German flying discs
grows. All we really have to do is find the pieces, confirm them and
eep putting them together. The truth will emerge by itself and in
the end nobody, no special interest of any sort, will be able to deny
this basic truth.
The writer of this book is not an authority to be believed upon
face-value alone. New assertions made in this book about German
saucers will be accompanied with documentation. Assertions made
by others will be accompanied with their references. This book will
briefly touch upon most of the facts, ideas, writers and researchers
in this field. With the sources given, the reader will be able to
confirm the veracity of the position put forth independently.
In an attempt to explain the field of German saucers to someone
new to it some background is necessary. First, we will discuss the
situation within wartime Germany. Then, there will follow a
discussion concerning reliable sources in this field. An overview of
German flying discs will follow. Finally, various trains of thought or
schools or thought in this field will be presented in a discussion
section along with some odds and ends which do not fit into any
neat pattern. At that point, the post-war disposition of German
saucer technology will be discussed before concluding with some
thoughts on the topic.
