In this article, Billy Cox presents two UFO statements
made by the German rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth.
During a 1954 interview with The American Weekly
magazine, Oberth said: “I think that they are possibly manned by intelligent
observers who are members of a race who may have been investigating our earth
for centuries.”
In a 1962 Fate magazine interview he discussed possible UFO physics: “They are flying by means of
artificial fields of gravity . . . They produce high-tension electric charges
in order to push the air out of their paths, so it does not start glowing, and
strong magnetic fields to influence the ionized air at higher altitudes. First,
this would explain their luminosity . . . Secondly, it would explain the
noiselessness of UFO flight . . . Finally, this assumption also explains the
strong electrical and magnetic effects sometimes, though not always, observed
in the vicinity of UFOs.”
Here is a UFO news article by Hermann Oberth:
