THE
OMEGA SANCTION
THE SPARK OF AN IDEA
Most good story ideas start with a ‘what
if.’ This was the same with Omega. What if Area 51 was taken over by a hostile
force, this was how the thought process started. Why would they do this? What
do they want? I did not want to go down the usual UFO/aliens route, or have the
hostile force be the usual suspects-Al Queda.
Now, I thought there have not been
any Nazi bad guys for awhile, I decided they would be the hostile force. The
grandchildren of the Third Reich, going under the name, Geheime Staat-Secret State. In my book, all the high ranking officers and
officials from Adolf Hitler down secretly had children, who were spirited away
to a secret location, to be brought up in the ideals and philosophy of the Nazi
party. They were to be a continuation of the Reich if they lost the war.
These children of monsters had
children of their own, they all so wormed their way into the institutions of
the new world that came into being at the end of the war, quietly manipulating
in the back ground. The children’s children were trained to be soldiers, and
when the time was right they made their move, a hostile takeover of Area 51.
For those who don’t know or have not
heard of Area 51, here’s a little bit about the place, taken from Wikipedia.
Area 51, also officially known as
Groom Lake or Homey Airport is a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base.
According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the correct names for the
Area 51 facility are the Nevada Test and Training Range and Groom Lake, though
the name Area 51 has been used in official CIA documentation. Other names used
for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown Strip,
and most recently Homey Airport. The area around the field is referred to as
(R-4808N).
It is located in the southern portion
of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of
Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a
large military airfield. The base's current primary purpose is officially
undetermined; however, based on historical evidence, it most likely supports
development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The
intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of
conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO)
folklore. Although the base has never been declared a secret base, all research
and occurrings in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information
(TS/SCI). In July 2013, following a FOIA request filed in 2005, the Central
Intelligence Agency publicly acknowledged the existence of the base for the
first time by declassifying documents detailing the history and purpose of Area
51.
The original rectangular base of 6 by
10 miles (9.7 by 16 km) is now part of the so-called "Groom box", a
rectangular area measuring 23 by 25 miles (37 by 40 km), of restricted
airspace. The area is connected to the internal Nevada Test Site (NTS) road
network, with paved roads leading south to Mercury and west to Yucca Flat.
Leading northeast from the lake, the wide and well-maintained Groom Lake Road
runs through a pass in the Jumbled Hills. The road formerly led to mines in the
Groom basin, but has been improved since their closure. Its winding course runs
past a security checkpoint, but the restricted area around the base extends
further east. After leaving the restricted area, Groom Lake Road descends
eastward to the floor of the Tikaboo Valley, passing the dirt-road entrances to
several small ranches, before converging with State Route 375, the "Extraterrestrial
Highway", south of Rachel.
Area 51 shares a border with the
Yucca Flat region of the Nevada Test Site, the location of 739 of the 928
nuclear tests conducted by the United States Department of Energy at
NTS. The Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository is 44 miles (71
km) southwest of Groom Lake.
The Groom Lake test facility was established
by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for Project Aquatone, the development
of the Lockheed U-2 strategic reconnaissance aircraft in April 1955.
As part of the project, the director,
Richard M. Bissell, Jr., understood that, given the extreme secrecy enveloping
the project, the flight test and pilot training programs could not be conducted
at Edwards Air Force Base or Lockheed's Palmdale facility. A search for a suitable
testing site for the U-2 was conducted under the same extreme security as the
rest of the project.
He notified Lockheed, who sent an
inspection team out to Groom Lake. According to Lockheed's U-2 designer Kelly
Johnson:
“ ... We flew over it and within thirty
seconds, you knew that was the place ... it was right by a dry lake. Man alive,
we looked at that lake, and we all looked at each other. It was another
Edwards, so we wheeled around, landed on that lake, taxied up to one end of it.
It was a perfect natural landing field ... as smooth as a billiard table
without anything being done to it". Johnson used a compass to lay out the
direction of the first runway. The place was called "Groom Lake”.
The lakebed made an ideal strip from
which they could test aircraft, and the Emigrant Valley's mountain ranges and
the NTS perimeter, about 100 miles north of Las Vegas, protected the test site
from visitors.[24] The CIA asked the AEC to acquire the land, designated
"Area 51" on the map, and add it to the Nevada Test Site.
Johnson named the area "Paradise
Ranch" to encourage workers to move to a place that the CIA's official
history of the U-2 project would later describe as "the new facility in
the middle of nowhere"; the name became shortened to "the
Ranch". On 4 May 1955, a survey team arrived at Groom Lake and laid
out a 5,000-foot (1,500 m), north-south runway on the southwest corner of the
lakebed and designated a site for a base support facility. "The Ranch",
also known as Site II, initially consisted of little more than a few shelters,
workshops and trailer homes in which to house its small team. In a little
over three months, the base consisted of a single, paved runway, three hangars,
a control tower, and rudimentary accommodations for test personnel. The base's
few amenities included a movie theatre and volleyball court. Additionally,
there was a mess hall, several water wells, and fuel storage tanks. By July
1955, CIA, Air Force, and Lockheed personnel began arriving. The Ranch received
its first U-2 delivery on 24 July 1955 from Burbank on a C-124 Globemaster II
cargo plane, accompanied by Lockheed technicians on a Douglas DC-3. Regular
Military Air Transport Service flights were set up between Area 51 and
Lockheed's Burbank, California offices. To preserve secrecy, personnel flew to
Nevada on Monday mornings and returned to California on Friday evenings.
Next, I needed a reason for them to
take over the base. More research brought to light something called, Die
Glocke, German for the bell.
The Bell is said be an experiment
carried out by Third Reich SS scientists working in the German facility Der Riese
(The Giant) near Wenceslaus mine. The mine is located 50 kilometers away from
Breslau a little north village of Ludwikowice Kłodzkie (formerly known as
Ludwigsdorf) close to Czech border. Cook and Witkowski visited the site for the UK Channel 4 documentary UFOs:
the Hidden Evidence (aka An Alien History of Planet Earth).
The device is described as metallic,
approximately 9 feet wide and 12 to 15 feet high with a shape similar to a
bell. It contained two counter-rotating cylinders filled with a substance
similar to Mercury that glowed violet when activated, known only as Xerum 525
it has been speculated to be Red mercury. When active, The Bell would emit
strong radiation, which led to the death of several scientists[6] and various
plant and animal test subjects.
According to Igor Witkowski, the
Polish aerospace historian who researched this craft for 20 years and was
interviewed for the Discovery Channel documentary Nazi UFO Conspiracy,
"...The external appearance... was such that it was [a] ceramic cover,
bell shaped, which housed a kind of core or axis, around which rotated two
cylinders, around the axis in opposite rotation. And after connecting to
high-voltage current, the cylinders start spinning in opposite directions...
Everything suggests.. it could have been a way to master gravity."
The Bell was considered so important
to the Nazis that they killed 60 scientists that worked on the project and
buried them in a mass grave and the only reason we know about the Bell is that
the SS General that was tasked with the murders, Jakob Sporrenberg, was tried
after the war by a Polish War Crimes court for murdering his own people on what
subsequently became Polish soil. So it's his Affidavit that gives us the story
of the Bell.
What might have happened to The Bell,
had it existed, were it to have been evacuated out of Germany is unknown,
however there has been some speculation: Witkowski speculated that it ended up
in a Nazi-friendly South American country, Cook speculated that it ended up in
the United States as part of a deal made with SS General Hans Kammler and
Farrell speculated that it did not reach the United States until it was
recovered in the Kecksburg UFO incident.
While the purpose of The Bell is
unknown, there is a wide range of speculation from anti-gravity to time travel.
Jan Van Helsing claims in his book
Secret Societies that, in a meeting that was attended by the members of various
secret orders (Vril Gesellschaft, Thule Society, SS elite of Black Sun) and two
mediums, technical data for the construction of a flying machine was gathered
along with the messages that were said to have come from the solar system
Aldebaran.
One of Cook's scientist contacts in
The Hunt for Zero Point, was a "Dr. Dan Marckus". (Cook states in his
book that he has "blurred" Marckus' name and that he is "an
eminent scientist attached to the physics department of one of Britain's
best-known universities"). Dr. Marckus claimed that The Bell was a torsion
field generator and that the SS scientists were attempting to build some sort
of time machine with it.
The original claims about the
existence of the experiment were spread by Igor Witkowski, who claimed to have
discovered the existence of the project after seeing secret transcripts of an
interrogation by the KGB of SS General Jakob Sporrenberg.
According to Witkowski, he was shown
some classified files in August 1997 by a Polish intelligence officer (whose
identity Witkowski keeps confidential), who had access to Polish government
documents regarding Nazi secret weapons. This officer unveiled to him for the
first time the details of the testimony of SS Officer Jakob Sporrenberg, who
provided details of this secret sub-program during a questioning by Polish
military officials in 1950/51, when he was imprisoned in Poland. Witkowski
provides lavish details of this in his book The Truth about the Wunderwaffe.
Although no evidence of the veracity of Witkowski's claims have ever been
produced, these claims reached a wider audience when they were used by British
author Nick Cook in his popular non-fiction book The Hunt for Zero Point.
The origin, and only evidence of the
story, lies solely on Witkowski's testimony of seeing secret transcripts of
Sporrenberg's interrogation and his comments on it. These documents have never
been made public and Witkowski claims that he was only allowed to transcribe
them and was not allowed to make any copies. No other evidence has come to
light.
I decided the bell started life as an energy weapon but after an accident in the testing phase the Nazi scientists working on the device discovered it could harness the power of time travel, Dr Hans Kammler uses it to escape the advancing Russian and American forces, arriving in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, USA, in 1965.
After unsuccessfully trying to make the device work, thay could not replicate the fuel to drive it, something called Xerum 525, the device is packed away in storage deep under the Area 51 base. Geheime Staat know how to use it, they want to go back in time, specifically to the bunker under The Reichstag in the last days of the war.
Pitted against them are Omega, a multinational autonomous team of scientists and soldiers who handle situations outside the purview of conventional forces. The book is a wild roller-coaster ride of action and adventure. Totally different to all my other work, both in tone and style.
Why do they want to go back? Will Omega be able to stop them? Will their be Jaffa cakes? And will their be copious amounts of Jack Daniels consumed by our heroes? The answers to these questions and many more will all be revealed soon. Stay tuned for further information on publication dates.
