From a talk by Daniel W. Fry

Today, many scientists, pursuing various paths of scientific inquiry, are mutually engaged in the attempt to advance and rediscover the art and science of crystalology that was lost to earth man during the last great collapse of science and civilization many thousands of years ago.

From those records of the lost civilization that are still available we can learn something of the tremendous powers that are inherent in the crystal. In our own laboratories we are working, sometimes almost feverishly, to rediscover and to put into operation the powers and abilities that our ancient ancestors used so wisely and so effectively. Our present Laser systems are one of the tangible results of such efforts. The output of the ruby crystal in a laser system is probably quite similar to that of the Vril stick about which so much has been written in the ancient records. Except of course, that the Vril stick employed a somewhat simpler and more compact system than any of those which we have yet been able to produce; although, with our rapid advance in miniaturization, we will soon begin to approach the results obtained by our ancestors.

In the hands of the supreme ruler, who was the only person to possess or to use the Vril stick, it represented total authority; since it contained the power of life or death through the laser-like beam which it emitted.

The crystals produced by present-day science are quite limited in size. Their shape is determined almost entirely by the nature of the electrical fields within the molecules of which they are composed. The Atlanteans, however, had no such limitations. By growing their crystals within an area of precisely controlled exterior electrical and magnetic fields they could cause a crystal to continue to grow almost indefinitely, and to take on any one of a number of predetermined shapes. These huge crystals they then incorporated into devices and systems which, while they were relatively simple compared to present technology, were still capable of performing functions which would certainly cause our present scientists to stare in awe and wonder, probably mixed with a certain amount of ego-saving skepticism of that which they were seeing.

Tremendous forces, acting over great distances, could readily be produced. When we bounce our tiny laser beams off the surface of the moon and record the signal after its 480,000 mile round trip journey, we are taking the first, few, child-like steps in the re-development of the Atlantean art. Substantial changes could be brought about in the electrical, the magnetic and the gravitational fields over large areas, and significant changes in the time fields could be created in local areas by the huge, crystal-controlled systems of the Atlanteans.

THEY CONTROLLED THE HEAVENS

In his manuscript Timaeus, or Theory of the Universe, and in his brief, twenty-two page paper Critieas, the Greek philosopher Plato described the history and culture of this long-submerged island continent, its amazing people, and some of the incredible science with which they could control even the heavens at will.

He named the continent Atlantis, which is simply the plural form of Atlas, the titan of Greek mythology, who was said to stand at the Western extremity of the earth, near the Islands of the Hesperides, holding up the heavens with his shoulders. There is no evidence however, that even Plato realized that the very mythology of the Titans from which he borrowed the name Atlantis, was in fact the unwritten history handed down through the centuries of the race of all-powerful Titans of the continent of Poseidon and with forces so great that they could indeed control the heavens at will.

We cannot fail to note, however, that the Western extremity of the known earth was at that time about at what we now know as the center of the Atlantic ocean, and from which the continent of Atlantis once rose. We must also remember that Poseidon, the brother of Atlas and the God of the sea, was said to dwell in the same locality in a huge and magnificent palace at the bottom of the sea, from which he occasionally rose to vent his wrath on those who defied or ignored him.

WHAT SAID EDGAR CAYCE?

In the late Edgar Cayce’s book on Atlantis mention is made of the powerful crystal systems. On page 86 we find the following words: “In Posiedia the entity dwelt among those that had charge of the motivating force of the great crystals that so condensed the Light and the forms of activity as to guide the ships in the sea and in the air.”

Again on page 87 we read: “In Atlantean lands, at the time of the development of electrical forces that dealt with transportation of craft from place to place, overcoming gravity itself, through preparations of the crystal, the terrible, the mighty crystal. Much of this later brought destruction.”

Apparently some of these systems made use of energy accumulators coupled to natural energy sources, and were designed to operate automatically when triggered by some specific and predetermined stimulus. They required no human control or maintenance and were practically immune and impervious to time or to the conditions of their environment. At least two, and probably more, of these periodically operating devices are apparently still in operation and still performing their design function after some thousands of years of immersion in the Atlantic ocean.

WORKING WITH THE NATURAL LAWS

When the continent of Atlantis, or Poseidon, descended into these depths it took with it not only a whole nation of people but also some of the most remarkable technology ever created upon this planet. Because they worked with the natural laws instead of using one to oppose or overcome another – as we have fallen into the habit of doing – their systems were, on the whole, somewhat less bulky and cumbersome than ours; and yet they were capable of producing results which we are not yet able to duplicate, or in some cases even to understand.

Not only was this civilization aware of the many huge space ships which had, for countless generations cruised the Galaxy, but it had established firm commercial relations with the Galactic Federation. The sale or barter of material and supplies to those ships whose course took them near to the earth had become one of the nation’s most profitable industries.

The transportation of these materials and supplies between the earth and the space ship did, however, present some problems and difficulties because of the intense resonating fields produced by the propulsion systems of the huge ships, and the tremendous degree of ionization that would be created in any atmosphere through which they moved, it was not practical for them to approach closer than a few hundred miles to the earth’s surface. And no matter how the lifting was done the earth’s gravitational field still exacted a tremendous toll of energy from the transfer operation.

To solve this problem several crystal-driven and controlled systems were developed, which were capable of creating the effect of an almost complete warp in the space between the earth and the space ship, when the ship was directly above the system. The electrical and magnetic fields present were not greatly affected, although their direction was changed, but the time and the space factors between the craft and the earth became practically zero. Material and supplies placed within the conveying chamber or area could then immediately be transferred to the hold of the ship. (Here the reader should be reminded of the Transporter Beam technique dramatized on the Star Trek television series. Ed.)

While this concept may at first be somewhat difficult to grasp or accept, and while it may appear to be in violation of several of our currently cherished laws of science, it really is not at all. In the change of location the energy of position offsets the gravitational loss and all laws of conservation are upheld and satisfied.

WE MUST CHANGE CONVENTIONAL THOUGHT HABITS

We have been too much in the habit of assuming that if an object is to change from one location to another, that is if it is to cease to occupy point “A” and instead occupy some other point, “B”, it must, in the process, occupy momentarily all possible points between the two. This idea, however, is not a necessity of thought; nor is it a law of Nature. It is in fact simply a habit of thought which has resulted from the fact that objects which we observe almost always follow this pattern.

For example, if we place a number of sheets of paper at various distances between the rifle and the target at which it is aimed, when the bullet has left the gun and reached its target we will find a hole in each piece of paper, indicating that the bullet had occupied that point during some part of its motion. All of our laws of ballistics are based upon this principle and the exceptions to these laws – that is, the cases where an object ceases to occupy one point and simultaneously begins to occupy some other point, without having occupied the points between – are so rare and so difficult to observe or demonstrate that it is much simpler for science to ignore or to deny them than to make any effort to explain.

Somewhere off the coast of Florida, under many fathoms of water, one of these Atlantean crystal driven systems apparently still exists and still performs at least some of its original functions. Fired by accumulators drawing their energy from natural sources and unaffected by time or its surroundings, it still springs into action when triggered by a specific impulse signal, and still goes through its design task of transporting any solid-state matter within its range from its original location to some, unknown to us, and probably remote point “X”.

Since there are no detailed descriptions of this device available to us, we can gain more knowledge of it only through a careful and complete study of its performance, and its effects upon others during those brief but fateful periods when it comes into operation and thereby manifests its properties and its effects to us. Since there have been many demonstrations which are well documented, some of them in rather precise detail; and since they continue to occur at relatively frequent intervals, quite a substantial body of dependable fact and detail exists to furnish a fairly sound basis for such a study.

To describe in detail the many separate events which have occurred in this area, and which can only be adequately explained by the operation of the Atlantean device, would require several hours. The records fill a number of folders in my own research file, and the specific data continues to accumulate. It covers a period of more than 150 years and involves the area commonly known as the Bermuda Triangle. Although it is usually defined geographically as being roughly square, bounded on the north by a line stretching from Bermuda to the Florida coast and on the south by the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola.

This stretch of ocean, dotted by a few Islands which are the only visible remnants of the Atlantean continent has been the scene of more unconventional and inexplicable disappearances than any equivalent area on earth. In the last century alone, 42 ships and 27 planes, for which well documented records exist, have sailed or flown into this area and simply vanished without warning and without a trace. Ships or planes lost to storms, fires or other normal hazards are not included in this list. They are all cases in which no distress calls were sounded. The weather was moderate, and in spite of the widest possible search and rescue operations, no wreckage, no debris, no survivors and not even an oil slick was ever found.

(Here Mr. Fry lists some of the better-known ship disappearances starting in 1866, including the “Cyclops” in 1918.) Similar disappearances have occurred every two or three years since then and will undoubtedly continue to occur in the future unless the exact location of the event can be determined and those spots avoided.

Attempts have been made to explain the loss of these ships as being due to mid-ocean earthquakes, or sea quakes, which might raise sudden waves as high as several hundreds of feet. Such waves might swallow a ship so suddenly and completely that there would be no time for distress calls or the launching of lifeboats. The Tsunami theory is however, like many other attempted explanations, in that it raises other questions which are even more difficult to answer. In the first place a Tsunami, or tidal wave, once it has been created, rolls on and on with little loss of height or energy until it encounters some land surface. A 200-foot wave generated anywhere in the Bermuda Triangle would still be at least 100 to 150 feet high when it reached the Florida coast; where it would then proceed to roll over about half of the state destroying everything in its path.

Also we are faced with the necessity of explaining the equally abrupt vanishing of some 27 or more airplanes in mid-flight. It is exceedingly difficult to imagine a wave high enough to snatch up an airplane flying at 10,000 feet. One of the most significant and by far the best documented pieces of plane disappearances is of course that of Flight 19, consisting of five TBM Avenger bombers, which, on Dec. 5, 1945, took off on a routine patrol flight from the U.S. Naval Air Station, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

WEATHER CLEAR, FLIGHT CONDITIONS EXCELLENT

My own perusal of the weather conditions that day, as printed in Ft. Lauderdale newspapers indicate that there were a few broken clouds and a small amount of wind; however, there were certainly no weather conditions which would endanger a short, routine patrol of this kind.

The Flight Leader’s plane had a crew of two while the remaining four planes carried three men each. The lead plane’s third man, had reported sick that morning and so was not on the flight. All of the 14 pilots and crewmen had flight and navigation experience ranging from 13 months to six years. The planes were expected to make a triangular patrol, flying east for 160 miles, then north for 40 miles, and then directly back to base at Ft. Lauderdale, a total flight time of about one hour and 40 minutes.

The flight took off at 2 p.m. and by 3:45 p.m. they were expected to call the Control Tower for landing instructions; but the message actually received at that time was anything but a routine one. “This is an emergency! This is an emergency!” it said in part, and even with radio distortion there was an unnerving fear in the Flight Leader’s voice. When asked for his position he replied, “We’re not sure of our position. We can’t be sure where we are. We don’t know.”

When told to assume a bearing of due west, the Flight Leader replied, “We cannot be sure which way is west. We cannot be sure of any direction. Everything is wrong. Everything is strange. The ocean doesn’t look as it should.”

By this time the sun was nearing the western horizon; and when the tower operator, half jokingly, half sarcastically, suggested that they “head for the setting sun, since it usually sets in the west” or had they forgotten that, the Flight Leader replied that neither clouds nor sun were visible in the strange sky through which they were flying.

For nearly 30 minutes thereafter the tower could hear the planes talking to each other. It was obvious that none of the five pilots nor any of the nine crewmen had any idea of their position, even though all of them were experienced in aerial navigation; and it was completely incredible that all navigation instruments and all compasses could fail on all five of the planes simultaneously. The over-heard conversations showed increasing signs of fear and hysteria among the five pilots.

Then, without prior warning, the Flight Leader turned over the command to another plane. This in itself was a most unusual act, and one which usually occurred only under the most desperate of emergencies. At about 4:15, the Control Tower received its last message from the flight. It said, “We are not certain where we are. We appear to be about 225 miles northeast of base. It looks like we are – -” The message broke off at that point, instantly and completely.

ANOTHER PLANE INTO THE SPACE WARP

Immediately thereafter a Martin flying boat with full rescue equipment and a crew of 13 men was dispatched to search for the missing flight, and to rescue the dazed pilots who, with all the navigation equipment to be found in military bombing planes couldn’t find west. The rescue plane gave several routine radio reports and then lapsed into silence. Neither this plane nor any of the original five bombers were ever heard from again. Nor was any sign of them ever found, in spite of one of the largest air and sea rescue searches in American history. The American aircraft carriers Solomons was in the area. Many ships and over 300 planes joined the search. Not a single item of debris nor wreckage from any of the planes was ever seen. Even though the Martin flying boat was designed to land upon the ocean, and because it was used for Marine rescue service, had aboard life preservers, rafts and literally hundreds of items which would rise to the surface of the ocean and continue to float indefinitely, no matter how hard the plane had hit the water.

The U.S. Navy, after an exhaustive investigation of the incident, in which a total of 27 lives had presumably been lost, was unable to come up with any solution. Their report stated simply, “We are not. even able to make a good guess as to what happened.”

A little more than two years later, on January 9, 1948 a four-engine commercial airliner, belonging to the British South American Airways Corporation, with 34 passengers and a crew of six, were en route to Kingston, Jamaica. The weather was clear and mild. At 10:30 p.m. a routine report was made to the control tower at Bermuda. This was the last message ever received from this airliner. No evidence was ever found that would indicate a crash into the ocean or elsewhere. No wreckage, no debris, no oil slick of any kind was ever located. The big plane with a total of 44 persons aboard had simply vanished. . .

The total number of planes that have vanished in this manner can only be guessed at, since no genuine effort has ever been made to assemble even all of the known cases; and of course, the loss of smaller planes could, and almost certainly would, be attributed to engine failure, lack of fuel, radio malfunction or other more readily understood causes. . . (Dan also lists the disappearance of the nuclear attack submarine U.S.S. Scorpion in May 1968 in the Bermuda Triangle area, on its way home from duty in the Mediterranean.)

It would seem, therefore, that the Atlantean transportation device, driven by the huge crystals, performs its function equally well whether the object upon which it acts is in the air, upon the surface or beneath it.

THE BIRTH OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

There have been half-hearted efforts by several departments of the Federal government to probe the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. In January 1946 a group of Naval Intelligence officers were ordered by President Truman to form a central intelligence group which became the forerunner of the CIA. In the spring of 1946 this central intelligence group participated in a series of secret hearings in Washington, D.C. in which the wives and the relatives of the missing Flight 19 were flown to Washington to attend a meeting. Since that time, most of those concerned, have refused to discuss the matter at all.

But the mother of one of the missing flyers has said that she thought her son was still alive, perhaps somewhere in space. . .

If the Atlantean device is indeed the answer to the endless chain of disappearances, the destination to which all of these planes, ships and submarines were transported can only be a matter of speculation. Since we have never had a report from any of the crews or passengers from the missing vehicles, it could be perhaps another planet, another dimension, another frequency or even another time. But, until some of those who were transported find a way to return to the same gate through which they left, we can only guess.

While the total number of vanished ships and planes may be far greater than anyone realizes it is still fairly obvious that the transporting mechanism is operative only at certain points, at certain times, and under certain conditions. For example, it might be triggered only by a certain minimum sized mass passing directly over the sensing device. The system would probably be operative only within a certain area above the device. This would explain why only two of a flight of five planes vanished, while the other three which were flying just outside the radius of the area, were untouched and unaffected.

In the case of the five TBM bombers, all of them chanced to be within the radius of activity when the system was triggered. The action of the electric and magnetic fields are relatively unchanged by the action of the device; therefore, the pilots of the five planes were able to continue radio communication with the control tower so long as the device continued to produce and maintain the space warp. The planes were no longer really on earth, nor had they really left it. . . When the device shut off and no longer produced the warp, the planes were instantly and completely at the remote end of the transportation system. . .
