Weimar: Their UFO

 Many people who are interested in Nazis UFO, will be surprised, that the first “Nazi” flying saucer program, started as early as 1919. During this time there was much Chaos in Germany after World War Two, with the German revolution raging shortly after the World War. Munich and Bavaria were no exception. Especially in the early Thule Society, where members were regularly hunted down. This led the Thule Society having to leave the city of Munich and move their operation to more secure locations. With civil battles happening as a regular occurrence in Munich, it was decided to move the Thule Society away from the populated area where these fights were happening, in December of 1919.

When they regrouped in a quieter region of the country, their first goal was to find new ways of saving their people through the use of new technologies, like Germany did with rocketry. It doesn’t seem unlikely that German women would be helpful in creating these new technologies, especially since earlier on in 1888 a German woman named Bertha Benz helped inspire her husband Carl Benz with another groundbreaking technology of the time, the internal combustion engine. After seeing how this invention of an internal combustion engine helped revolutionize warfare by the invention of the Tank, it would make sense for other women to attempt follow in Bertha Benzes steps, to invented new technologies to help save the German people.

When they first started out the tech side of the Thule Society only had a small forest cabin, near a very well-known place: Berchtesgaden. In this small wooden cabin, they spent much time collecting and reviewing data, along with other stories of these unknown flying objects, in an effort to make their own. Through studying other UFO phenomenon and by studying other theorical piece such as “The History of The Flying Discs: A Contribution to its Possible Explanation”, they came up with their own idea and design for one of these disk-shaped flying machines, utilizing a process called “Torque-induced Precession.”

Over the course of a few years, their design was developed, however due to the financial crisis of Weimar, getting financial support was more than difficult, luckily a group known as Die Herren von Schwarzen Stein (The Lords of the black stone) was able to secure fund three years later, for the Thule Society to build their own flying saucer, in 1922.

Their first step was to get a bigger place to work out of. In search for a new secret location to build this mysterious craft, a farm with an old barn was chosen. It gave the Thule Society more room to build a flying vehicle, without them drawing too much attention to what they were doing. The next step was to get multiple industries and businesses employed to make parts for this machine. This way no one truly knows what they were doing since all outsourced work was broken up by parts. Many other modern governments around the world use this same process when working on other classified projects. With parts arriving in 1922, work began on the new flying vehicle, which was called “Jenseits Flug Maschine” (Other World Flight Machine) It was given the name JFM for short. With limited funds, and having to work in secrecy, the Thule Society built their machine built over the course of two years, with their project finishing in 1922.

The machine had three disks, which were all parrel to each other. They varied in size with the top disk being seven meters wide. The central disk was the largest, being eight meters wide, which was meant to be spun counter to the other two. The bottom disk was the smallest with a diameter of six and a half meters. All three of them were powered by an electrical motor, which was most likely similar to the same electrical motor used in automobiles of that era. At the base of the machine, a pendulum was mounted, to act as a counterweight, and to help stabilize it.

It is unknown how well this craft actually performed, but for nearly two years, the Thule Society used this craft to perform many scientific experiments, which would ultimately lead to them building better versions of these bizarre flying devices. However, in late 1923, another event happened in Munich, which lead to the Thule Society having to cancel their research and go into hiding once again.
