Hermann Oberth front center, Dr. Wernher Braun to the right

West Germany, which had been the scene of so many visits by the UFO’s, (Unidentified Flying ObjectS)  including some reported landings, named the father of German Rocketry, the world- famous space-travel scientist, Professor Hermann Oberth, to head their UFO probe. After three years of studying the information supplied by his own and other governments, the outspoken Oberth said at a news conference in 1954: “There is no doubt in my mind that these objects (UFO’s) are interplanetary craft of some sort. I am confident that they do not originate in our solar system, but they may use Mars or some other body for a way station. It is also our conclusion that they are propelled by distorting or converting the gravitational field.”

Shortly after he made this remarkable statement to newsmen at Frankfort, Professor Oberth was flown to the USA and placed under security regulations as a consultant to his former student,
Wernher Von Braun, at the Redstone Rocket Arsenal. These regulations prevented Oberth from making any more public statements until 1959, when he returned to Europe. As soon as he landed in Frankfurt he told newsmen, “there was a world-wide effort to learn how gravity could be put to use as a form of energy.  He added that he expected men would be traveling to the moon in electrically driven devices within five to ten years.” Thanks to Frank Edwards’ Strange World, Lyle Stewart, New York, 1964, pp. 209 – 210.
