There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Germans were experimenting with a gravity engine that used red Mercury and electric flow to create 'massive' lift, or directional gravity force. The first engine was mounted in a giant steel cage on a mountain in Germany over a secret manufacturing fascility in the forest. The 'Bell' supposedly did well, or at least worked. They have supposedly found several photos of flying manned versions of later saucers, 3 versions supposedly created; mark 1 thru 3.
Conspiracy people say that the Germans sent one of these, a giant thing, with half Japanese passengers (then Allies to Germany) and it went to Mars.
Modern day notes; working with gravity engines, including gravity amplifiers, which supposedly, according to an engineer that released data on the programs at Area 51 on captured discs (alien), were that gravity also effects light and time, so the craft can bend light around them when actuating that much focused gravity to lift up say 10,000 lbs. Also, it can change time 'flow' in the craft, so those are things that they are dealing with in experimenting on how the craft fly over at the real Area 51 and such locations.
Pretty cool stuff.
Sometimes reality is stranger then fiction... :S

It always sounds crazy till you see it happen in front of you. :S
