161.In early September 1943 the German Navy landed troops on Spitzbergen island, a large, wild, barren and remote windswept island in the Arctic Circle 500 miles north of North Cape. A small weather station was set up in the interior in 1944 and remained there until relieved in 1946, but an actual occupation just to install a seven-man meteorological team seems improbable. Its use as a proving ground for advanced VTOL aircraft types would have justified taking the island from the point of view of secrecy. An account of the Norwegian discovery of German Flugkreisel wreckage in 1952 (which initially they thought was from a UFO since the Americans had not bothered to inform them otherwise) appears in Frank Edwards: Flying Saucers – Serious Business, NY, Lyle Stuart, 1966.
162.Dr Karl Nowak was also the inventor of the Molecular Bomb, which was never built. So far as can be made out, his idea was that electrons within the nucleus would have been brought to a state of very low energy at a temperature of almost absolute zero and then returned to their normal velocities instantaneously. This expansion force (1015 electrons) would have enabled a bomb vastly more powerful than the hydrogen bomb to have been constructed. Official quantum physics dismisses the idea as an impossibility but recently the physicist Randall Mills has stated that Nowak’s concept can be proved theoretically and in practice.
