    It makes my heart glad to see this. As a 15 year old kid, I took his week long class in tool making. At time a neighbor who also knew Alex would drive me and his grandson to school every morning. Sometimes we would stop off at the Weygers house for coffee. He was always friendly towards us kids and would break out his blueprints of the flying machines he had invented. I still have my notebook I kept when I took his course and an autographed copy of his tool making book. He was an amazing person and great influence on young me.

      This does not negate the simplicity of the fact: there are UFOs - such secret espionage equipment (flying saucers, triangles, cigars - with glowing zones, plasma propulsion panels). This technology was launched in the USA in the 40s of the twentieth century, now it is available in many places (in China, in the Russian Federation, in oligarchic and criminal structures). To cover up, the special services have been spreading various misinformation for 70 years, producing myths and fakes. It is necessary to know about it, these are elementary facts. Of course, these facts, as such, do not exclude - neither aliens, time travelers, guests from parallel spaces, otherworldly dark forces, etc. You can play ufologically with these UFOs, but believe me: espionage technology is in the first place in this phenomenon. The US Congress has already begun to declassify it little by little, but they are afraid of lawsuits and other claims of deceived ordinary people.

      that would be great but what was this guy great for? Just because Bloomberg seems to have successfully fooled you with this story does not mean anyone involved has been elevated to greatness. If this device was patented in 1944 don't you think the military would have seized it, and him? People are finding it impossible to patent inventions like devices that can convert standard (gas powered) combustion engines into hydrogen fueled engines (Stan Meyer) without the government stepping in with seize and desist orders for national security reasons. How was anyone able to patent a flying saucer in the middle of WWII? If the patent is legitimate, and the military didn't notice it at the time, it means that the invention is not as amazing as Bloomberg makes it sound.

    Whatever it really was that made you bite on that original email, you might only ever know but follow that gut if you recognize it again. Great story, well shared by you and the tone of the story is fantastic, I only wish it was much longer. I imagine in the few short years you had with Randy, so much more was learned than what made it out of the editing room and with his passing, the story doesn't stop there. Now, in a way much as Randy is part of this fascinating man's story, you too are now a part of both of theirs.
    A follow up perhaps 5 or 10 years from when when Randy left his own legacy behind, you'll take us on another journey, one which hopefully shows the spirit you three share continuing this on...

He is just repeating esoterical ideas from average new age litterature. At the Area 51 he even took his friends out to the test site to show them the most experimental models. Not understanding that this was within the cold war of the 1900s, which has now returned. This means that the last thing you should do is providing your enemies with your best tech, by calling the local town populations and the press. He got suspended for that ,and he claims that he returned to get a leading job there. That is "possible" but unproved.

      Tesla was a mentally ill fool for a large part of his life, and put a lot of things down as inventions that were unworkable and silly. A huge part of his fame comes from these things, and from all the great inventions the government supposedly stole after his death. Except there were no great inventions to steal. At least half of what's written about him is pure fiction that almost everyone now believes.

      It is not just NYC and LA. Imagine I have a very nice huge painting over 100y old. Everybody who sees it likes it but is worth only a 100usd because the painter is not well known. That means you pay mostly for the name = marketing/superficial aspect of it rather than for the work itself. Of course it is also understandable because the name will then make sure the work keeps its value. But it is also rotten as you say. But the advantage of this all is that you can buy very nice paintings for a bargain simply because they were made by unknown people!

    @maskedmarvyl4774 Před 3 lety

    I've read about these drawings before. However, you notice that he doesn't mention How Weyger's flying saucer was supposed to fly, other than "on a cushion of air". Hovercraft aren't able to get a few inches off the ground, use a tremendous amount of power and fuel to do so, and rely on ground effect to work at all. They also require a rubber skirt around the bottom so the air pressure doesn't dissipate too quickly to keep them afloat.
    I have never seen engineering designs of the engine that was supposed to power these flying "discopters". As far as I know, Weygers never designed an engine to power his air vehicle, even in blueprint form. I think he was more focused on the look. It would be interesting to know if he ever tried to build a prototype of the engine that was supposed to make his vehicle work.

    As well as the striving, a dedication to carrying on, come what my.
    May they and those who loved them, love them , or those who recognise that living fully, means dedication, striving, and faith that borders on absurd.

    I used to draw an scheme of an ovni when I was eight using the concept of the Bearing, since I used them to build cars to play with in my childhood. So the center is static, and the surround area is non static, geneerating energy by using magnetism to avoid surface contact. I used to play with magnets when I was 2 years old so I don't see anything special in here. Sorry.

    So Hunter died last year and we're just hearing about it now? His work must continue. Tapping into the genius, vision, and creativity of a man like Alexander Weygers is to tap into the soul and lifeblood of humanity. Remarkable men, such as Weygers, Einstein, and Tesla are our guiding lights. Who do we have in our era, Elon Musk? He's good, but we need more like him.

      Elon Musk admits that he is not a technological genius in any way. He is a self proclaimed business mogul. He knows how to market products. Nothing more than a glorified salesman. Which is why he pays more homage to Thomas Edison than he does to Nicola Tesla. The only thing Edison truly invented was the electric chair. The light bulb was invented by someone else. Edison paid for the rights to design and concept and took the purchased schematics to the patent office in his name. There are many brilliant physicists trying to build upon the ideas of the late T. Townsend Brown and the great minds before him. Dr Paul LaViolette and Dr Tom Valone are just two of these such people that are trying inform the masses of the energy and propulsion technologies that were developed back in the 1950's and prior to WWII. Elon Musk is merely capitalizing on Tesla's inventions from 100 years ago. Just like Thomas Edison capitalized on Tesla and every inventor around him. If it weren't for people like Edison, JP Morgan, Rockefeller, and everyone else who had a hand in the banking/oil cartels, our energy technology would have been allowed to evolve just like every other sector of technology. Instead, those people have successfully suppressed any advancement in energy and propulsion technologies so they could protect and expand their profits while keeping us enslaved to their dinosaur fossil fuel technology from the turn of the 20th century. Tons of advancements were made in this field many decades ago. Don't expect those ideas and inventions to ever be televised any time soon though. The people that own the 4 biggest banks also own the 4 biggest oil companies. They also own the biggest media outlets. Whoever controls the money controls the laws, whoever controls the media controls the message, and whoever controls the energy controls the world
