ANDROMEDA-GERÄT (ANDROMEDA DEVICE) (1943-1945) by Rob Arndt   Sigrun  and  Traute The ultimate dream and driving purpose of the Vril Gesellschaft originated by psychic mediums Maria Orsic, Sigrun, and Traute (known as the Vril Chefin, or bosses) was to achieve space flight by any means possible to reach the Aldebaran system in the Taurus Constellation- 64 light years from earth.   To accomplish this required two things; first, to translate a series of psychic images of a flight machine received by Maria Orsic since 1919 and  secondly, to collaborate with other occult groups that could finance such an endeavor  once the images were deciphered. DHvSS Symbol with Alpha Tauri and Isias For Vril, a Society formed by women based on metaphysics, the thought and act of joining with other powerful male occult groups was almost  unthinkable. Yet in 1919 Vril met with Thule and DHvSS members in an effort to obtain funding for their vision by 1921.   Thule had the most industrial influence and financial resources to fund such a project so an agreement was reached to join Societies in an effort to build the strange machine which became known as the “Jenseitsflugmaschine”, or Otherworld flight machine.   Under the code letters J-F-M the machine was constructed in secret in Munich. It was constructed in 1922 in a barn and rolled out into a field for channeled flight testing. Despite two years at attempting to achieve channeled flight through high powered frequency field oscillations produced by strong electromagnetic forces within the craft, the occultists could not open what they termed a “white hole” in space/time and pass through, reaching the Aldebaran system and the Aryan Sumeran aliens that had contacted them.   Professor  W.O. Schumann led the JFM project but decided to scrap all research in 1924.   The JFM was hurriedly dismantled and sent to Augsburg for storage at Messerschmitt’s facility, where it was either destroyed or later moved up to Peenemünde and reassembled for further study.  No one can confirm either.   Yet not all the research was in vain. Professor Schumann managed to develop a levitator unit from it along with practical experience with generating increasingly intensified electromagnetic fields.   Nine years later in 1933, Adolf Hitler (a Thule member himself and occultist) became chancellor in Germany. This gave both the Thule and Vril Gesellschafts a second chance to further develop their craft with a state approved RFZ (RundFlugZeug, or Round Aircraft) program also led by Professor Schumann.   The program started in 1937 and produced seven models. Himmler’s SS had already become involved with the Thule Haunebu development program in 1935 before the RFZ series began.  In 1939 the SS had used Hans Colers adapted gravitic battery and the applied ideas of Tesla  to come up with a revolutionary new engine pioneered by Thule - the Thule Triebwerk (also known as a Tachyonator-7). Vril also perfected the SM-Levitator and invented their own Triebwerk (Thrustwork) in 1941 with the RFZ-7.   This brought about the abandonment of the RFZ series and introduced the Haunebu and Vril series of craft.   The Haunebu I, briefly listed as an RFZ design was dropped  in 1939 and the RFZ-7 was re-designated Vril 1 Jäger (Hunter) in 1941. Both Societies them came under control of the SS E-IV (Entwicklungsstelle 4) Unit in 1941 under Hitler‘s order that all secret societies be banned. This unit was the technical branch of the SS which was tasked with developing alternative energies. Not only did this include alternative power through synthetic fuels but also with generating power fields that could be used in war. Thus, the occult discs were seen as a potentially rewarding war weapons.   Of course, Thule and Vril went along with the SS despite their intention of only producing a Raumschiff (Spaceship). Like von Braun, who also envisioned powered space flight with the A-series rockets, the Societies kept pioneering their own craft with full knowledge that any of the discs might be made into a war weapon at any time.   Fortunately, both types of discs were incredibly complex and difficult to control in flight. A special celestial navigation system built by both Siemens and AEG had to be developed to fly the machines which at first could only make turns of 22.5, 45, and 90 degrees. Control was only possible through Magnetic Field Shifting using Impulsers that transferred power to different parts of the electromagnetic rings rapidly, forcing very violent rotating electromagnetic fields inside the craft to move accordingly, changing instant direction of the craft. Maximum velocities in these craft proved to be a problem as well and required special SS metallurgists (some called them modern Alchemists) to create a heat-resistant armor called Victalen that could withstand the heat friction of speeds well over 7,000 km/hr! With both the Haunebu and Vril craft reaching their full potential by 1943/1944 it was decided that Vril would once again attempt to build a functioning Raumschiff; but this time, it would be built by the SS with all the resources of the SS state-within-a-state, including slave labor and safe facilities. Due to the immensity of this project a special unit was formed to build just this type-  the SS E-V (E-5) Unit. The Raumschiff was to be called the Andromeda-Gerät (Andromeda Device). Work on two of these massive 139 meter long and 30 meter diameter “flying cigars” probably began with great effort in early 1943 in above ground heavily camouflaged shelters similar to that of the old Zeppelin hangars. These craft were designed to hold both a Haunebu II or IV disc in one large bay with two other smaller Vril 1 or 2 discs in a secondary bay - both accessed from the side of each craft. Each craft was to be crewed by 130 and were to be armored with a quadruple layered Victalen hull. The E-V unit nicknamed them as male and female “Freyr” and “Freya” after the old Norse God and Goddess.   The propulsion systems located at both the fore and aft sections of the Andromeda craft would be beyond the last Haunebu-type Thule Tachyonator 7c drive. These craft were to have four massive power units, two Tachyonator 11 at the front and two at the rear with four additional large SM-Levitator units located in pairs on the top and bottom of each craft which sat on a series of large underbody skids to support the massive weight. It is generally assumed that those engines were of the same EMG (Electro-Magnetic-Gravitic) type but other Allied Intelligence officers believe that they might have been photonic based on witness accounts of one large craft flying with a massive bright light source emitted from the rear. Thule might have simply used the Tachyonator term to describe an evolution of energy drives that might have varied in the latter models. Although designed as an armed vessel with provision for five turrets armed with powerful KSK (KraftStrahlKanone, or Strong Ray Cannon) it is doubtful that any armament actually made it onto either of the two prototypes under construction.   When the US Army came upon one of the uncompleted machines in 1945 the craft was first mistaken as some sort of radio tower due to the strange antennas protruding from the craft. The immense size of the uncompleted machine didn’t reveal its purpose until someone actually climbed up on top of it and immediately spotted a cockpit with very thick glass that was shattered. The semi-completed craft painted gray with no markings was heavily damaged as the Germans retreated, taking with them all of the prototype’s sensitive navigation equipment and the strange propulsion system. This caused damage to the craft except for the two open exposed bays - which were empty of any Haunebu or Vril discs. Flying cigar matching Andromeda seen postwar - a US copy? Photos seem to indicate that the other prototype “Freya“, or one similar to it, was completed and flew sometime in 1944/1945. The exotic craft was designed for a speed of 300,000 km/hr!   If one did escape in March 1945, that one most likely had the Vril Chefin aboard and achieved channeled flight.   Their final destination? The Aldebaran system.
