Did I hear correctly that Tesla's technology is connected to the Montauk Project? Also the weapon used to deflect the UFO in that famous cut NASA footage of that UFO riding across the atmosphere of the globe and then taking a right-angled turn as something from the planet surface attempts to intercept without changing its velocity is connected to his technology also? Am I thinking of someone else? I'd better look into this man, hadn't I? Any suggested reading for us ignoramous's?
 
The guys who are involved with the Montauk Project claim all sorts of things as it suits them ;) As for Tesla, there seem to be all sorts of rumours and misquotes surrounding him and his life - one of which was his work on so-called doomsday weapons. Whether it's tue or not is anyone's guess, but (like with the whole back-engineed UFO technology rumours) such devices seem to not get used at all. And that NASA footage has been discussed in another thread here ;): http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8849

Timble reminds us of that elephant electrocution film. Once seen,
never forgotten! It also featured in Schonfeld's Animals Movie, which
documents Man's inhumanity to beasties.

IIRC the location of the demonstration was Coney Island and the
elephant took some thirty minutes to die, trumpeting in agony, its
legs immersed in tubs of Mercury.
Now immortalised in a memorial:

New York museum has unveiled a memorial to an elephant - which after killing three trainers - was electrocuted in public by the Edison company.
The exhibit is displayed on Coney Island - the faded holiday resort famous for its freak shows, fair rides and Russian mafiosi.

Topsy was part of a private collection of elephants - one of the tourist attractions on the island at the turn of the century.

But after she killed three men in three years - the last a drunk trainer who had fed her a lit cigarette - her owners decided she had to go.

They fed her carrots laced with cyanide which she wolfed down without effect. A plan to publicly hang the elephant was opposed by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Copper sandals

Eventually, the inventor Thomas A Edison came to the rescue.

Locked in a battle with George Westinghouse over what he deemed the supremacy and safety of his direct current electrical system, he agreed to electrocute the six-ton Indian elephant.

In January 1903, a crowd estimated at some 1,500 gathered at Coney Island, to witness what The New York Times termed "a rather inglorious affair".

Clad in copper-lined sandals and covered in electrodes, Topsy was given a huge electric shock. "There had been no sound and hardly a conscious movement of the body," reported the paper.

The event would probably have been forgotten if it had not been for two artists - Gavin Heck and Lee Deigaard - who decided to honour Topsy.

They have a designed a coin-operated mutoscope (a turn-of-the-century viewing medium) through which images of the execution can be viewed.

"She was considered a bad elephant because she killed an abusive handler. But she wasn't a bad girl - she was an elephant confined and one of the builders of Coney Island," said Lee Deigaard.

Mr Heck has devoted five years of his life to creating Topsy art - including a huge sculpture of the elephant - which is exhibited at a gallery in Brooklyn.

"I was struck by how a story so old could bring up many issues and feelings for people," Mr Heck told the BBC.

"I don't think we are quite there yet with a holistic way of dealing with our own deaths and the way we are voyeuristic about it when it comes to those of animals."

Paerticle beams are a technology which may become very important in times to come;
iron particles or pellet streams are usually preferred, as they are more easily magnetised.
A mass stream could cut aircraft and missiles down like a laser (there is a fallout problem, however).

Mass particles could also be used in engineering;
such wonderful things as space fountains and dynamic orbital rings could be supported, apparently in thin air (or even thinner space), using moving magnetised particles.
 
"iron particles or pellet streams are usually preferred, as they are more easily magnetised."

Actually lead is the preferred material (or occasionally DU), projected by chemical reaction from an instrument called a 'gun'.

Anything else remains rather distant at the moment. AFAIK accellerator weapons are off the menu, but eletrothermochemical (no, really) may give higher muzzle velocities than ye olde musket-style firearm.
 
Would that be the flower power generation we're talking about? :D
 
kiel

here is another possible - if wildly improbable - cause of the mysterious event at Tunguska in 1908(7 September, p 14). One of Nikola Tesla's great projects was the wireless transformation of energy over large distances. He believed that this could be harnessed in war to destroy incoming attacksn from over 300 kilometres away.

Ah - I feel that many of the Richter Scale approx 3.5 earthquakes in recent times are as a result of a "Tesla Weapon" in the hands of (???)

The recent powercuts around europe and us are merely the result of governments looking for it.

Or not. Put that down to power companies trying to make a quick buck whilst working within a rather chaotic power supply market.

Franz J. T. Lee: Occult Physics, Tesla Technology and the World Energy Crisis

University of Los Andes (ULA) professor Franz J. T. Lee writes: Although many of us are not experts in Occult Physics, Ufology, Tesla Technology or Global Oil Politics, nonetheless, these things directly affect our daily lives ... they even concern the defense of the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela and Latin America.

Consequently, for all of us, it is of ultra-importance to have some cognitive notions about decisive world events that generally, for obvious reasons, do not appear in the daily headlines of the international news.

In fact, to formulate revolutionary theory in this epoch of "globalization", the above knowledge is scientifically imperative and philosophically indispensable. Surely, because of its trans-historic magnitude, it is not always possible to explain their essence in simple terms.

Here in this short commentary, very simply we'll just deal with a few general, outstanding topics, mainly with their social, ideological, philosophical and emancipatory aspects. The pertaining questions themselves are very simple: for example, does an Occult Ether Physics really exist?

* Do "aliens" exist in our solar system?
* Do they always fly over Los Alamos, The Andes or Iran on July 4th?
* Is something out there that is coming to get us?
* Where does it come from?
* What kind of energy is it using?
* What is really behind space discoveries and exploration?
* Why billions of dollars of investments in this field?
* Are there already existent space communities, and what purpose do they serve?
* Why the big noise under Los Alamos since decades?
* Does the world energy crisis really exist, or is it just the crisis of the world order itself?
* What energy will be used in a post-productive mode of existence on earth?
* How are all these currently affecting Venezuela, the revolution, the world?

Of course, the answers are very complicated, opaque! Concerning "Occult Ether Physics, a while ago, our friend, William Lyne has written an extraordinary book about the re-discovery of 'occult ether physics' ... "the scientific/technical basis for a space-propulsion system" already invented in the late 19th century by Nikola Tesla "now used in the secret, exclusively man-made flying machines known as 'flying saucers' or UFOs."

(See: William Lyne, "OCCULT ETHER PHYSICS: Tesla's Hidden Space Propulsion System and the Conspiracy to Conceal It", Creatopia Productions, second revised edition, third production, April, 2000, Printed in Canada.)

As can be witnessed all over, our current, corporate, imperialist world is a dominant and dominating State reality of "top secrets" of "strictly confidential information" and of "classified documents." During the "Burning of Mississippi," also during the epoch of the "Hot World Wars," the political argument for this US military "secrecy" was to avoid that the "enemies," the "communists" or "nazis" ... who are lurking out there, any moment ready to come to get us ... would get hold of "security material"; this remained so even during the "Cold War" period, nowadays, even more so, in the Era of "Full Spectrum Dominance" of Globalization.

Not only do we have disinformation campaigns of the mass media, concerning the realities in Venezuela or Latin America, but as the publishers of Bill's book remark: "The government conceals this invention behind false scientific theories, 'space alien' hoaxes, and false propaganda, disseminated through a controlled mass media."

Hence, on a global scale, billions, including academic circles, researchers, students, teachers and professors, are being bamboozled, brain-washed, are mentally caught in an "'UFOlogy', 'new-age', 'paranormalist' and 'pseudo-debunker' network." And, euphemistically all this is called "modern education" in the "Information Age."

Some time ago, innocent young minds were violated by "flying angels" with a "flying Father Christmas" dressed in the colors of the clothing of Coca-Cola, driven on by reindeer power, or were scared by a "flying witch on a broom": nowadays, the poor kids have to believe in "flying aliens" and alien "flying saucers, pots and pans." And all these are entitled postmodern "education," "tradition," "culture" and "civilization."

Across the ages, it is really tragic, sad, macabre to see what dominant and dominating ideology, mind and thought control, had done to the "consciousness" of billions of members of the sonorous species homo sapiens sapiens. Ever since the Conquest, irreparable intellectual damage has been done to millions of inhabitants of the so-called Third World, and never, ever, will there be any reparation for these capital and cardinal crimes.

What is worse, we cannot even tell the majority of mankind the flowing truths, the hidden secrets and the perennial lies of capitalist reality; we cannot explain to them what really has happened to their minds, how sick, how pathological, schizophrenic, paranoiac and alienated many of us have already become.

As Freud, Reich, Fromm, Fanon and Marcuse have explained, many of us have simply sublimated, internalized and eternalized the very capitalist system, that is, our very own physical slavery and mental bondage. This is one of the major revolutionary stumbling blocks of contemporary emancipation.

Surely, historic consciousness is slowly improving, especially here in Venezuela ... toppling idols like Columbus ... but philosophic knowledge about workers' revolution, that is, about modern class struggle, is still lacking, is still very much covered by religious and ideological obscurity.

Thus "national security laws" eternalize obscurantism, ignorance and arrogance.

Now, why did a small powerful ruling elite, across the 20th century, hide away from us the scientific and philosophic truth about Nikola Tesla's Technology about "free energy from the vacuum" and about Wilhelm Reich's "Orgone"? The latter was even declared "crazy" and was locked up in a United States loony bin. Meanwhile, Mickey Mouse stole his Orgone Cheese!

The social, political and economic reasons, and they are fundamental arguments in capitalism and imperialism, are obvious, are self-evident: A technology, based on the scientific discoveries of Tesla and Reich, would strip away the social, parasitic Draculian privileges, the Draconian political power and the Croesusian economic wealth of the global profit-mongers, of the giant moguls of monopoly capitalism, of the global power elite, of a handful of mighty families that control the globe.

The radical change-over of energy sources and resources, from oil and other traditional sources of energy, will catapult huge transnational monsters into oblivion, would destroy the very exploitative foundations of the global capitalist system, of the very "new world order."

It would set free a billionfold diluvium of creative forces, a global emancipatory vis vitalis, a galactic orgone, that could liberate mankind from the curse of labor "by the sweat of his brow", could re-establish a healthy relation between Man and Nature.

Concerning the above, the publishers of Bill's book made a most interesting prediction: "Dynamite comes in small packages, and this little stick of scientific dynamite blows apart pseudo-scientific myths and instills the truth."

Well, let's now give this stick some bright light, some glowing fire. Take note, some explanations below and their corresponding data are scientifically very complex. We will try to present them to the general public as transparent as possible.

In his book, Bill asks a self-answering rhetorical question: "Is it possible that an entire area of physics has been declared virtually 'occult' and 'off-limits' to the public, or to private individuals, by a powerful group, so that all science education or data generally available to the public has been 'screened' to eliminate references to it?" And, this question is also valid for other sciences, and for world news.

We suspect that "the actual science involved in electro-propulsion" had been replaced by a "bogus science." In other words, on a world scale, he is questioning whether in specific spheres university students of Physics are deliberately being misled, are given hocus-pocus doctorates, are consciously being fed with obsolete, faked data and out-dated research materials.

Of course, about this, students of Modern History can sing the "Swan's Song"; their research material is already "classified" for the next half-a-century.

About our real immediate history in the 21st century, we have no idea.

* When will we know who exactly blew the Twin Towers to blazes?

Millions, even billions, still believe that it was the "Arabs" ... for us, it's folly to be wise.

Now, this should be a historic lesson for future basic and higher education in Venezuela and Latin America, and elsewhere.

* Who are the global liars that are spreading hoaxes across the globe?

For example, the hoax of Christopher Columbus "discovering" America. Bill identifies the "culprits" as the "high priests of this occult knowledge" as "the elite owners of the coercive monopolist corporate banking, industrial, mineral and related interests."

And what do they allow? "...the initiation of certain scientists, military and government officials into their secret teachings."

Concerning crucial, fundamental issues of Modern Physics, of the "War of the Galaxies", of "Star Wars", he formulates the following question: "Before you decide there is no ether, or no flying saucers, or before you believe the often-told 'prime-time' lies that 'aliens' are here, or that time-travel is possible, you should ask yourself whether or not your thinking on these subjects has been conditioned by Big Brother's Biggest Lies."

This is a question that the "Opposition" of Venezuela should make as its permanent night prayer, before entering the Wonderland of Miami.

Do "Flying Saucers" exist?

Horatio, for sure, there are more things built on Earth, and flying around in Heaven, than are dreamt of in your Ideology!

Very few people know, that an UFO is not produced by green, extraterrestrial beings from Mars, that it "is a product of Nikola Tesla's life work, his most fundamentally important invention, for which all his other inventions were in pursuit of...."

Yes, "aliens" do exist ... so do "flying saucers."

There exist Pentagon aliens and flying saucers ... the only ones in solar existence.

Tesla's discoveries came too early, and because monopoly imperialism still had no use for his "free energy," thus when he was working on his "electropropulsive ship," in the 1920s, in great need of money, he approached the US government for financial help but of no avail.

Already before, the Morgans and Rockefellers had declared his research work and piles of patents as being "off limits" ... the problem is that today ... during the "world energy crisis" ... his hour has arrived, and the USA, Russia, China and Europe are secretly using his technology, in the fields of space discovery, travels, and, who knows, even for "space population" or "space communities."

* What is the fate of such pioneering scientists and philosophers in a class society, in the world of capitalist production?

* What is the destiny of what we are revealing here?

* And, what we state here, are already "out-dated," many new things have been discovered over the last decade.

To mention just a few examples: the Greek astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos (c. 310-230 BC), had been the first to maintain that the Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun. What was his fate?

For this very reason, Cleanthes the Stoic declared that he ought to be indicted for impiety, for offending the Olympic Gods. And yet, our school books claim that Columbus was one of the first to know that the earth was round, that is why he set out sailing. Others feared that they would fall down the "Pillars of Hercules." Anaxagoras was ostracized, chased out of Athens, because he said that the Moon was not a goddess, not Selena ... just a piece of rock. Nowadays every normal child knows this.

Other famous thinkers and actors, having discovered diverse fundamental truths, were Democritus, Archytas of Tarentum, Plato, Aristotle, Spartacus, Bruno, Galileo, Thomas Muenzer, Meister Eckhart, Leonardo da Vinci, Orwell, Huxley, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, etc. Some were adored and crowned, others were sold on the slave market, crucified or burned at the stake.

In our times, the unknown scientist and philosopher, Don Albert ... today living in Israel ... was simply told by the US authorities, that everything was fine, but that he should please come back again with his scientific findings and discoveries in about 300 years from now.

Of course, when the time would be ripe, when these theories serve their corresponding class interests, then, surreptitiously, they would be adopted and adapted by the establishment, hidden away for decades and centuries from the eyes of the public.

Exactly this happened to Tesla and Reich.

Now, let's consult another expert, to see what the "free energy" of Tesla technology is all about.

Valery I. Titarenko was born on October 16, 1950, in Berezovka, Odessa region, Ukraine. Having studied at the Odessa Automotive Technical School (1974), and having done research work at the Odessa Institute of National Economy (1979), after his investigations had been experimentally verified in the physics laboratory, and because no analogous works exist, he claimed that he made a brilliant discovery for the future development of mankind.

He published his unique and outstanding discovery under the following nerve- and brain-wrecking title, which only erudite scholars would understand: "The Law of Unity of Universal Forces of the Co-ordinate Standard Fourth-Dimensional Space-Substance; that point charges in the Solar Gravity-Torsion Constant are integral to the elliptical trajectories and to the space-time movements of celestial bodies in free-space. "

Of course, apart of its brain-wrecking title, this is a very serious patented, copyrighted investigation, which is registered in the South Branch of Ukrainian International Academy of Original Ideas, under the code #00701017, dated 10 February, 1997.

Concerning the functions of this technology, including its bellicose usage, he informed us about the following:

* In wireless power engineering, the generation of electricity from a physical vacuum. Alternative, clean energy, produced in co-ordinates, rather than from atomic, gas and other obsolete, archaic fuels, which produce environmentally hazardous waste products.

* The movement of gravitational objects, such as trains, ships and submarines.

* A new generation of torsion flying apparatus.

* A new technique for producing ultra-high temperatures at critical levels.

* New materials and alloys which have no analogues in present technology.

* Changing the mechanical trajectory of planets and comets.

* A great number of other fields of application.

Instead of using it for emancipatory endeavors for mankind, together with HAARP, this technology can be transformed into a huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. Probably this is what most of the great powers have done already.

Now, in conclusion, within the current context of exorbitant oil prices, a chief economist. Michael Mandel, stated:

“It's time to place the blame for high oil prices where it belongs _ on the lack of progress in energy technology.” (Business Week. August 2, 2004)

To get an idea of the energy density of which we are speaking, of the "solution" of all our energetic problems, already in 1962, Wheeler and Misner in their Geometrodynamics informed us about the following:

"And that's just using the spatial energy density (the 'decompressed' or ordinary energy). The energy density of the vacuum is appreciably greater than what physicists normally calculate, because they do not calculate the additional time-energy density portion of the vacuum stress. If we also allow for the time-energy (the 'compressed' energy), we restore that c2 division factor, producing on the order of 10110 grams per cubic centimeter, or_in energy terms_on the order of 10127 joules per cubic centimeter." (J. A. Wheeler and C. Misner, Geometrodynamics, Academic Press, New York, 1962.)

Commenting on the artificially created "World Energy Crisis", Thomas Bearden stated:

"There are many ways to extract energy from the seething vacuum. Unfortunately, at present our scientific community takes a bizarre stance. In particle physics it is well known that the active vacuum is incredibly energetic. Calculations by leading physicists such as Wheeler show that a cubic centimeter of vacuum (about the tip of one's little finger in volume) has so much raw energy in it that, if condensed into matter, there would be more matter than is observable in the universe through the largest telescope! So even a tiny efficiency of tapping could and will extract all the energy anyone could wish."

Inter alia, used for peaceful, anti-imperialist purposes, this technology could generate unlimited clean energy from the vacuum, would cause no degradation of the biosphere, would eliminate dependence on strategically vulnerable centralized power and distribution systems, and will surely not produce radioactive waste disposal problems. (ibid.)

Corporate America, with its current Janus-faced contenders for world power, the "cousins" Bush and Kerry, know the future strategic relevance of the Persian Gulf Oil Fields (and also the oil in the Balkans). Desperately, they also know that their capitalist energy is running out. Why they are in the Caspian regions, the following article explained:

"By 2020, the federal Energy Information Agency expects, the Persian Gulf will account for 54% to 67% of world oil exports, up from around 30% now." (Wall Street Journal, February 4, 2004)

However, black gold will not decide the future or the demise of mankind.

It will be the use or abuse of the technology of Tesla and Reich.

Hints about how Tesla magnified power

Hola Folks!

Since everyone seems to be interested in this, pulled some info you might find of use regarding, in Teslas' own words how he magnifies electrical energy.

With reference to the Pierce Arrow demonstration, this would indicate that he broadcast the power from some central source since he refers to tapping currents induced over great distances in the earth as he planned for Wardenclyffe;

Electrical pioneer Tesla honoured


Serbian and Croatian officials have joined together to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of electricity pioneer and inventor Nikola Tesla.

Tesla, an ethnic Serb, was one of the pioneers of modern electrical engineering, and is recognised as one of the world's greatest inventors.

Several hundred officials attended the ceremony in Smiljan village in Croatia.

Among them were the Croatian President Stjepan Mesic and his Serbian counterpart, Boris Tadic.

The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software.

A Battle to Preserve a Visionary’s Bold Failure

In 1901, Nikola Tesla began work on a global system of giant towers meant to relay through the air not only news, stock reports and even pictures but also, unbeknown to investors such as J. Pierpont Morgan, free electricity for one and all.

It was the inventor’s biggest project, and his most audacious.

The first tower rose on rural Long Island and, by 1903, stood more than 18 stories tall. One midsummer night, it emitted a dull rumble and proceeded to hurl bolts of electricity into the sky. The blinding flashes, The New York Sun reported, “seemed to shoot off into the darkness on some mysterious errand.”

But the system failed for want of money, and at least partly for scientific viability. Tesla never finished his prototype tower and was forced to abandon its adjoining laboratory.

Today, a fight is looming over the ghostly remains of that site, called Wardenclyffe — what Tesla authorities call the only surviving workplace of the eccentric genius who dreamed countless big dreams while pioneering wireless communication and alternating current. The disagreement began recently after the property went up for sale in Shoreham, N.Y. ....

Nikola Tesla: Google commemorates birthday of pioneering electrical engineer
Nikola Tesla, the inventor and pioneering electrical engineer, is being honoured by Google with a special logo to mark the 153rd anniversary of his birth.
By Murray Wardrop
Published: 9:18AM BST 10 Jul 2009

The search engine is celebrating July 10 with a logo featuring purple sparks of electricity leaping from the letter "g", which is drawn in the shape of his famous Tesla Coil transformer.

It pays tribute to the Serb born scientist, who is best known for several revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor.

The inventor, who died impoverished in 1943, aged 86, is credited with helping usher in the Second Industrial Revolution with his groundbreaking work.

Born in 1856, Tesla studied electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz, before moving to Hungary where he worked for the National Telephone Company in Budapest.

He later moved to the United States where he established his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing, and embarked on his most significant works.

These included inventing polyphase systems, which would allow transmission of alternating current electricity over long distances, and ultimately became the chief method of powering homes and business across the globe.

According to Tesla he worked with non-Hertzian waves - perhaps this alowed the system to be more efficeint? At least one of his power broadcast towers was constructed but then later destroyed.

Non-Hertzian waves are just meaningless psuedoscience.The idea that you can produce an electromagnetic wave whose power does not decrease as the square of the distance is simply fantasy.

this site here http://teslaenergy.net/index.html
sums up the kind of thinking that goes on in people who are so open minded you can see light through thier ears.
 
Wardenclyffe may rise again!

Online fundraisers have announced that they have raised $500,000 in two days!

I'm not quite sure how happy the authorities would be about electricity for free, though. Story goes that Tesla's papers were spirited away pdq when he died. I tend to the boring view that Mr T's claims got wilder as he needed to hold the attention of a fickle press. Nice tower though! :)
 
Excellent. Whether or not there was anything in his later work, he was a brilliant man and deserves to get mainstream respect.
 
The Tesla thread may be the place to remember Nathan Stubblefield

I dimly recall reading some of the following pages during my early days online, maybe before the Message Board was up and running. If I ever posted a reference or link, it seems to have disappeared.

If you enjoy weird, forgotten science stories, this tale of Stubblefield's Ground Radio and earth-power experiments is unbeatable:

Journal of Borderland Research Link

The story is spread across several pages, the links appearing somewhat erratically beneath the text of each page. It is a bit hard to navigate and the writing sometimes almost poetic but Stubblefield was real enough. At times, the material seems to approach earth-magic territory: it seems the wires which picked up the significant earth-currents were not designed on a grid or straight-line plan. :)
 
So, did Tesla file a patent for an Adamski style Flying Saucer? I've seen the story crop up on a few paranormal news sites this year, accompanied by this diagram:

i3ogAOg.jpg


There then follows some gobbledygook about discoidal capacitators and gyroscopic stablisers. Personally I'm rather sceptical of it as:
a) There's no patent number, and
b) There doesn't seem to be sufficient technical detail for it to be patent worthy

Could there be any legitimacy to this, or is it just a wistful hoax?
 
I love that drawing! But you're right, it conveys no real technical information that could be used in a patent.
 
So, did Tesla file a patent for an Adamski style Flying Saucer? I've seen the story crop up on a few paranormal news sites this year...

It seems doubtful that it's genuine - on top of what you and Myth say about it's lack of detail, would Tesla really have called parts of his own machine "Tesla Turbine", "Tesla Pancake Discharge Coils" and "Tesla Bulbs"?

It looks like an affectionate hoax to me.
 
The 'Tesla Pancake Discharge Coils; are probably an affectionate allusion to this case
http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case708.htm
Mr. Paul Simonton, a chicken farmer in Eagle River, Wisconsin saw a disc-shaped craft land vertically on his farm. A hatch opened, and when he approached he saw three human-looking men inside. They asked him for some water. They appeared to be cooking pancakes on a griddle, and in exchange for the water they gave him four of the pancakes from griddle.

I like how the pilots are using flatscreen devices.

If this is a dated technical drawing it is quite revealing. For what we know, intelligence agencies could have hired technicians to give their best on what the interior of a UFO would look like. Purpose? To unwittingly assist them in the early days with their crashed ones in trying to understand how such things tick.

There are alot more of these kind of images HERE
 
Nikola Tesla, one of the most influential inventors of the 20th century, spent his life working with electricity and dreamed of the possibility of wireless communication. Although he died about 30 years before the first call was made on a wireless cell phone, his work is invaluable to the technology available today. What could be a more fitting tribute to this man than a statue in his likeness that is equipped with free Wi-Fi?

Entrepreneur Dorrian Porter was inspired to create the life-size statue after learning that he had a lot in common with Tesla– both men were immigrants who found professional success after moving to America. One of Porter’s companies, Northern Imagination, organized a Kickstarter in May of 2013 that raised over $127,000 to erect the statue.

Standing at Tesla’s actual height of 6'2", the bronze tribute sculpted by Terry Guyer features Tesla holding a giant wireless light bulb. In addition to providing complimentary Wi-Fi to those visiting its new home in Silicon Valley, the statue also houses a time capsule to be opened on January 7, 2043—the 100th anniversary of Tesla’s death. ...
