who have been profoundly deaf since birth. For even
they
can – somehow – experience auditory hallucinations…
    “One 32-yr. old woman, born deaf, who was full of self-recrimination about a therapeutic abortion, claimed she heard accusations from God. Another, a 50-yr. old congenitally deaf woman, heard supernatural voices that proclaimed her to have occult powers. One of my schizophrenic subjects had been sitting in a car for a long time. A blue car coming along the road suddenly, oddly, turned rusty brown, then grew huge gray wings and slowly flapped over a hedge and disappeared… Visual hallucinations may be fitted into the real environment. Usually when visualizations occur with voices, they appear as a shining light, or cloudy fog.”

The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
    “I would like to bring out points that, in my estimation, prove a strong case in favor of the Nazi theory of UFOs. First are the balls of light that our flyers reported throughout Germany during WWII. Later, a few were seen in Japan, but none were reported elsewhere. No balls of light were reported during WWI, nor during the period after WWII.
    “Second, a statement was made by the head of the German admiralty in 1940 that they were building a ‘Shangri-La’ for Hitler, where he would be able to retreat in the event of defeat. As the German submarines were able to remain underwater for two weeks, they could have been well able to transport scientists and equipment to South America. They established their first base there and, later, in the Antarctic.
    “Third, a speech was made by one of Hitler’s top men about three months before the collapse of the German army, as to the fantastic machine they were building in an underground factory, which apparently the Allies believed. They made frantic efforts to break up the German army immediately. The fact that the Allies found nothing that they had not already known would indicate that whatever the Germans were building had already been completed and removed.
    “Then, in 1947, the flying saucers began to appear. All of them seemed to come from the south, along the West Coast. Then, the U.S. became very interested in establishing a base and exploring the Antarctic… If my theories are correct, the Nazis have utilized a new form of power to build tremendous ‘space ships’.”

Saucer News,
1969
    “On the same day that the
Condon UFO Report
had gone to the National Academy of Sciences, one of those apparently crackpot, but nonetheless weirdly compelling reports of saucers-from-Earth came out of Rome, in a book by Renato Vesco. In his book,
Interception Without Shooting,
he claims that flying saucers are conceived and built by English technicians deep in the woods of Canada.
    “Vesco said that astonishing German scientific experiments immediately before and during WWII produced
more
than V-1 and V-2 rockets. Had the war lasted another year, they would have given Hitler an enormous quantity of fantastic arms in the aeronautical field. Many were about to be mass-produced when the war ended. The plans fell into the hands of the Allies and enabled their scientists to conclude similar but ‘more backward’ experiments, he says.
    “The Germans were developing the ‘Feuerball’ (fireball), a circular flying machine propelled by the flat jet engine and aimed at interfering with electronic devices on many planes, and the ‘Kugelblitz’ (meaning “round lightning”), a circular intercepting jet fighter. Where are these plans today? Mr. Vesco says they went to Britain and then to Canada.
    “The German experiments were continued from there, and the result was ‘flying saucers.’ He says saucers are much superior to traditional planes. Britain, he adds, has spent enormous sums on undisclosed aeronautical experiments, and various Prime Ministers have approved expenditures without giving the slightest hint of what they were
