Otis T. Carr

Otis T. Carr (December 7, 1904 – September 20, 1982) first emerged into the 1950s flying saucer scene in BaltimoreMaryland, in 1955 when he founded OTC Enterprises, a company that was supposed to advance and apply technology originally suggested by Nikola Tesla. The claim to be applying some idea of Tesla’s was quite common among exploiters of the flying saucer movement in the 1950s; for example. George Van Tassel‘s Integratron was supposedly based partially on (unspecified) lore from Tesla, partially on lore from friendly Space Brothers from Venus.[1][2][3]

Carr patented a flying saucer, and asserted he was working on a full-size version that could fly to the Moon and return in less than a day, using two counter-rotating metal plates, spinning electromagnets and large capacitors, which when spinning charged and powered by a battery, which became “activated by the energy of space.” He named this device the Ezechiel Wheel.[4] Carr’s scheme resembles slightly earlier proposals by John R. R. Searl and Thomas Townsend Brown. Carr also claimed to have invented “The Gravity Electric Generator”, “The Utron Electric battery”, “The Carrotto Gravity Motor”, and “The Photon Gun”.[5]

Ray Palmer‘s Fate Magazine gave Carr a great deal of free publicity, not all of it complimentary, throughout the 1950s. Carr and his promoter, Norman Evans Colton, also frequently appeared during the same period on Long John Nebel‘s pioneering radio and television talk show, and during each appearance, Nebel usually managed to prompt Carr into his usual state of near incoherence; for example, “Can you describe what you’re holding in your hand?” “This is a dimensional object.

It was designed with the dimensions of space itself. We say it is truly the geometric form of space, because it is completely round and completely square.” (Carr was referring to his “Utron Coil”, which was round when viewed from above and square when viewed from the side.)[6] The ship was to be powered by Carr also said his great secret could be best expressed mathematically as “minus zero”, or “zero X”. Colton and Carr did manage to sell quite a bit of stock in their enterprise. Carr also teamed up with obscure contactee Wayne Sulo Aho, and he and Aho toured the various “flying saucer clubs” that then existed in nearly every major city in the United States, touting the wonders of Carr’s spacecraft propulsion system.

Although Carr’s business affairs were generally considered to be fraudulent, he was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for an “Amusement Device”, U.S. Patent 2,912,244, filed January 22, 1959.[7] In 1958 Carr struck a deal with the owner of an amusement park, Frontier City, in Oklahoma CityOklahoma. Apparently, the terms of the deal were that Carr would construct a full-scale, 45-foot (14 m) mockup of his saucer, OTC X-1, to be converted into a ride for the park. Carr relocated to Oklahoma City, provided the park with a dummy OTC X-1, and claimed to be readying a 6-foot (1.8 m) “prototype” of his saucer for a demonstration flight at the fairground. Carr said his demonstration model would rise to about 500 feet. He also said he would follow that triumph on December 7, 1959 by launching a working 45-foot saucer, matching the amusement park mockup, and, with Wayne Sulo Aho and himself as pilots, would fly from the fairground site to the Moon and return in a few hours.[8] 

The 6-foot saucer demonstration was supposed to have been launched on April 19, 1959, but it never even made it to the fairground, and neither did Carr, who claimed to be feeling “unwell” on the day of his demonstration. Visitors to Carr’s factory site during the period did not see any actual working models, or otherwise, of either the 6-foot or 45-foot saucers. Instead, they were shown a small and motionless “three dimensional illustration of Carr’s ideas” made mainly of wood. Carr had already dropped from sight before the launch date for the 6-foot model, and was not seen for quite some time thereafter.

In January 1961, Carr was convicted of “the crime of selling securities without registering the same” in Oklahoma,[9] and fined $5,000, far less than the sums he had obtained from investors in the area.[10][11] He was denied an appeal on March 1, 1961. Carr could not pay the fine, and served part of a 14-year jail term. Carr fled the state and soon resurfaced elsewhere, still selling non-working “free energy” technology.[12] Aho was found to be an innocent dupe. After his sentence ended, Carr lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1966 he claimed that the reason his earlier demonstrations failed was simply that he had not had enough time to finish the device.[13] He died in 1982.

While Otis Carr was working on his spaceship, George Adamski photographed this Venusian "scoutship" -- in actuality a small model patterned after a craft proposed by space-travel theorist Mason Rose -- at his Palomar Garden, California, home on December 13, 1952.

To hear him tell it, Otis T. Carr was the smartest man since Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Nikola Tesla. Not only that but Tesla, the great electricity genius and Thomas Edison contemporary, had confided some of his deepest secrets to Carr when the latter worked as a young hotel clerk in New York City in the 1920s.

­In the mid-1950s, with Tesla long gone, Carr was ready to tell the world and collect the rewards. He founded OTC Enterprises, hired a fast-talking business manager named Norman Colton, and set out to secure funding for a “fourth dimensional space vehicle” powered by a “revolutionary Utron Electric Accumulator.” The saucer-shaped OTC-X1 would undergo its first flight in April 1959 and the following December go on all the way to the moon.

Carr and Colton secured hundreds of thousands of dollars from wealthy investors and contactee-oriented saucer fans, including Warren Goetz, who claimed to be an actual space person, having materialized as a baby in his (Earth) mother’s arms while a saucer hovered overhead. Another associate, Margaret Storm, wrote a biography of Tesla, who turns out to have been a Venusian. To skeptics Carr was a shameless spouter of double-talk and baffle-gab. As one observer put it, “For all most people know, he might well be a great scientist. After all, he is completely unintelligible, isn’t he?”

On Sunday, April 19, 1959, while crowds gathered at an amusement park in Oklahoma City to watch the OTC-X1’s maiden flight, Carr suddenly contracted a mysterious illness and had to be hospitalized. He mumbled something about a “mercury leak,” but burly guards kept reporters who wanted to check for themselves out of the plant where the craft supposedly was being constructed. One who managed to catch a glimpse saw only a jumble of disconnected wires and parts-nothing that looked remotely like a functioning aircraft.

The OTC-X1 never went to the moon, but Carr went to prison for selling stock illegally. He died penniless years later in a Pittsburgh slum. Colton, who had skipped out of Oklahoma a step ahead of the authorities, formed the Millennium Agency, which sold stock in machines “operated entirely by environmental gravitic forces.” They never flew either.

The Story of Otis T. Carr – The Man Who Invented An ‘Anti-Gravity’ Vehicle In The 1950s

Article by Arjun Walia                       March 4, 2020                         (collective-evolution.com)

• A recent investigation conducted by a Michigan State University professor and a former secretary from the Department of Housing and Development, along with a team of Ph.D students, tracked down approximately $21 trillion that went missing and unaccounted for from the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing and Development. They discovered that the money was diverted to fund government black budget projects, off the books, with no Congressional oversight.  This black budget world has existed for many years.

• Take the subject of ‘anti-gravity’. This is a field full of reputable scientists and scholars, and real-world examples that have come not only from hard evidence but from extremely credible witness testimony. This isn’t the stuff of conspiracy theories or “fringe” science. But it is ‘black budget’. The technology developed under these programs could change the world, but instead it’s only used within the military-industrial complex for self-serving purposes.

• Efficient energy-generating devices that could eliminate the use of oil, or any other modern day fuel source for that matter, have been subjected to patent suppression. Any civilian who invents technology that rivals the black budget world is subjected to harassment and great difficulty in getting their inventions out to the public. That’s because these technologies have been ‘classified’, for if they were made public it would change everything, and would severely threaten the tremendous amount of power and control the global elite has over the human population.

• In 1971, patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient. Why would higher energy efficiencies be a “national security threat?” We’re talking about the suppression of solar technology that goes far beyond even the best commercial panels available today. Said former NASA astronaut Brian O’Leary about ‘free energy’ devices, “If these technologies were to be set free worldwide, the change would be profound, it would be applicable everywhere. These technologies are absolutely the most important thing that has happened in the history of the world”

• In the 1950s, there was a lot of media attention focused on the wave of UFO sightings, crashed saucers and aliens that had been recovered. It is very likely that the government or the military industrial complex had obtained saucer technology by this time. A document in the CIA online reading room describes how the German aeronautical engineer, George Klein, had been developing ‘flying saucers’ from 1941 to 1945. The document states: “The “flying saucer” reached an altitude of 12,400 meters within 3 minutes and a speed of 2,200 kilometers per hour. Klein emphasized that in accordance with German plans, the speed of these “saucers” would reach 4,000 kilometers per hour.”

• Otis T. Carr (pictured above) had similar claims. A protégé of Nikola Tesla, Carr and his team had constructed a number of fully functional flying saucers in the 1950s. He provided numerous public demonstrations and amassed millions of dollars from extremely wealthy people to further develop flying saucer technology. Carr’s goal was to fly to the moon in his “circular foil spacecraft” on December 7th, 1959. The craft would be propelled by an ‘artificial gravitic field’ and required no fuel. It would be powered by an ‘Utron electric accumulator’ – a sort of self-charging battery – utilizing the Sun’s electromagnetism. Carr claimed that a trip to the moon would only take a few hours.

• In the late 1950’s, Carr’s company, OTC Enterprises, Inc., published a statement in the Baltimore Enterprise newspaper that they were ready to build a flying saucer that was capable of travel outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, and were looking for $20 million in funding. Shortly thereafter, Carr’s laboratory was forcibly shut down. Claiming that Carr’s project would ‘destroy the monetary system of the United States’, federal agents confiscated his equipment and all documentation. Carr was heavily criticized, ridiculed, and made a fool of by the press. In January 1961, the Attorney General of New York, Louis J. Lefkowitz, stated that Carr had swindled investors out of $50,000. Later that year, True Magazine labelled Carr a “hoaxer.” By then, his laboratory had been destroyed and Carr’s group of engineers had been ordered to disband and cease contact with one another.

• It is clear that this was a coordinated government effort to shut Carr down. Such advanced scientific developments are reserved only for the black budget world. Carr was convicted and denied an appeal for his ‘crime’. He could not afford to pay the fine and served part of a 14-year jail term. After that little is known about what became of either Carr himself or the craft, but they never flew again. Carr is reported to have suffered from ill-health, a broken man. He passed away in Gardnerville, Nevada, in 2005.

• The global elite has always demonstrated their supremacy by ridiculing concepts that they don’t want made public. There are multiple technological developments that have been completely hushed up, for “national security purposes.” Still, anti-gravity technology has been around for a long time. Professor Theodore Lodre of the University of New Hampshire has studied the development of anti-gravity research in the United States and notes that “research activity seemed to disappear by the mid-1950s.” However, recently reported scientific findings and witness testimonies “show us that this (anti-gravity) research and technology is alive and well and very advanced.”

• On November 1, 2005, Patent #6,960,975 was granted to Boris Volfson of Huntington, Indiana. It describes a space vehicle propelled by a superconducting shield, which alters the curvature of space-time outside the craft in a way that counteracts gravity. The device builds on a claim by Russian physicist Eugene Podkletnov that superconductors can shield the effects of gravity.

• In 2016, the US Navy filed a patent for a hybrid craft “using an inertial mass reduction device”, that was invented by Salvatore Cezar Pais. The hybrid craft was actually approved in 2018. In January 2019, Pais presented a paper on a “Room Temperature Superconducting System for Use on a Hybrid Aerospace Undersea Craft” that would ostensibly power this hybrid craft. In the paper, Pais writes that “the achievement of room temperature superconductivity represents a highly disruptive technology, capable of a total paradigm change in Science and Technology.”

It’s astonishing to me how the topic of anti-gravity is still be placed in the “conspiracy theory” realm. This isn’t the stuff of conspiracy theories or “fringe” science, it’s a field full of reputable scientists and scholars, and real-world examples that have come not only from hard evidence but from extremely credible witness testimony as well.  One thing is for certain when talking about such topics: one must delve into the black budget world.

Take, for example, a recent investigation conducted by a Michigan State University professor and a former secretary from the Department of Housing and Development. Together, with a team of Ph.D students, they uncovered approximately $21 trillion that went missing and unaccounted for from the Department of Defense as well as the Department of Housing and Development. Why is this relevant? Because they discovered that the money was going to fund black budget, off the books programs that require no oversight from Congress.  This black budget world has been in operation for many years. You can read more about it here and here in two articles I’ve previously written on the subject.

Breakaway Civilization

The black budget world encompasses a separate civilization (Richard Dolan, “Breakaway Civilization”) that has used tremendous amounts of resources in all areas, from science to archaeology, to move itself far ahead of the mainstream world technologically. How many people does it employ? Who is operating it? Many of these questions remain unknown, but if you follow the money it will give you perhaps somewhat of an idea.

Any civilian who invents technology that rivals the black budget world has always been subjected to harassment, and has difficulty getting their innovations or inventions out to the public. That’s because these technologies have been ‘classified’, for if they were made public it would change everything, severely threatening the tremendous amount of power and control the global elite has over the human population.

The technology that’s been developed within these programs could change the world, but instead it’s used within the military-industrial complex for self-serving purposes, or so it seems. Efficient energy-generating devices that could eliminate the use of oil, or any other modern day fuel source for that matter, have been subjected to patent suppression.

Suppressed Technology List From 1971

For example, the previous list regarding technology suppressed was obtained by researcher Michael Ravnitzky in 1971. Most of the technology listed seems to be related to various military applications. You can view that list here. As Steven Aftergood from the Federation of American Scientists reports: “The 1971 list indicates that patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient. Energy conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible restriction if they offered conversion efficiencies in “excess of 70-80%.”

Why would higher energy efficiencies be a “national security threat?” If this is true, we are talking about solar technology that goes far beyond the best commercial panels available today, which usually can’t even generate 20 percent efficiency.

“These concepts have been proven in hundreds of laboratories throughout the world and yet they have not really seen the light of day. If these technologies were to be set free worldwide, the change would be profound, it would be applicable everywhere. These technologies are absolutely the most important thing that has happened in the history of the world”  – Brian O’Leary, Former Nasa Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor, speaking about over-unity energy, or ‘free’ energy.
