220 The Hunt for Zero Point
Via Schauberger, the Nazis had been deeply involved—no question—
in what can only be described as flying saucer technology. And from this
flowed the corollary that other parts of the Legend were perhaps also
based on fact.
Couple the Schauberger evidence with what I had seen in the Lusty
files and suddenly it wasn't so hard anymore to believe that the Germans
had developed prototype remote-controlled air vehicles—craft that had
the ability to latch onto the exhaust wakes of Allied bombers or the
infrared signatures of the aircraft themselves—that explained many of
the foo-fighter sightings of 1944 and 1945.
It was also highly likely that some of these "conventionally powered"
German disc-shaped craft were test beds for Schauberger-type propulsion
systems.
And therein lay another subset to the mystery.
Something about this whole strand of development had conspired to
make it the most classified form of technology in existence. Even more so
than the bomb.
Unlike the bomb, however, this was a secret that had held for more
than 50 years.
Days after the end of the war, U.S. intelligence agents found Schauberger
in Leonstein and apprehended him. Exactly as the Legend had it,
the agents, who were almost certainly Counter-intelligence Corps—the
same outfit that had detained and interrogated Skoda's director, Wilhelm
Voss—were remarkably well informed about his entire operation. It was
as if, Schauberger noted later, someone had guided them directly to him.
Across the country, at almost exactly the same moment, Russian
intelligence agents located and entered his apartment in Vienna. They
removed anything of value they could lay their hands on, then blew the
place up, presumably to prevent anyone else from discovering information
they had overlooked.
For the next nine months, until March 1946, Schauberger was held
under close house arrest and extensively debriefed by U.S. technical
intelligence about his activities during the war. Years later, he disclosed
that it was his knowledge of "atomic" energy that had got the Americans
so vexed. This is understandable. The merest suggestion that
Schauberger had engaged in nuclear research would have set alarm bells
ringing at the local headquarters of Boris Pash's Alsos agents, the U.S.
team charged with scouring the former Reich for atomic weapons
activity.
And yet, it would have taken the CIC and Alsos days, if that, to
