CHAPTER 1
The Enigmatic Thule Society: Antigravity, Hitler & the German Navy
Thule Society Sponsors Antigravity Spacecraft R&D
The historic roots of the first secret space program and its genesis can be traced back to the early years of the Weimar Republic. At the end of the First World War in 1919, a number of German secret societies began collaborating in the development of flying saucer prototypes based on the designs received through the telepathic communications of an unusually beautiful and highly skilled psychic medium, Maria Orsic.
When in a full trance state, she claimed to be in communication with a range of otherworldly beings. Among those were a group of Aryan or Nordic-looking extraterrestrials from the Aldebaran star system who wanted to assist humanity in developing spacecraft capable of interstellar flight. Orsic reported their intention in such an endeavor would raise human consciousness and accelerate humanity’s evolution as a species in the galactic community.
Using automatic writing, Orsic wrote numerous pages of what appeared to be technical information in two foreign languages, though she did not recognize one language at all. Another prominent psychic, “Sigrun”, assisted in understanding the content of the writing by getting clear mental images of a flying saucer craft. Orsic and Sigrun concluded that the information revealed how to build a spaceship.

Soon after, Orsic and Sigrun met with members from the Thule Society (Thule Gessellshaft), which after the First World War had become Germany’s most powerful secret society — notably comprised of aristocrats and leading occultists of the day.
They were able to identify the second unknown language in the automatic writing as ancient Sumerian. Experts were brought in to translate Orsic’s writings, and the translation confirmed Sigrun’s mental images — it was, in fact, technical instructions for building a revolutionary type of engine that could power a spacecraft.
Orsic and supportive Thule Society members arranged for various scientists to look at the translated information to determine whether it was scientifically feasible.
Orsic was enthusiastically supported by the Thule Society due to its members’ belief in the existence of an advanced far northern (now subterranean) civilization described in Greek and Roman legends as Hyperborea, whose ancient capital was Ultima Thule.
Excerpt from Diodorus Siculus (1st century BC):
Now for our part, since we have seen fit to make mention of the regions of Asia which lie to the north, we feel that it will not be foreign to our purpose to discuss the legendary accounts of the Hyperboreans.
Of those who have written about the ancient myths, Hecataeus and certain others say that in the regions beyond the land of the Celts there lies in the ocean an island no smaller than Sicily.
This island, the account continues, is situated in the north and is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are called by that name because their home is beyond the point whence the north wind (Boreas) blows; and the island is both fertile and productive of every crop, and since it has an unusually temperate climate, it produces two harvests each year.
And the kings of this city and the supervisors of the sacred precinct are called Boreadae, since they are descendants of Boreas, and the succession to these positions is always kept in their family.
