Die Glocke - The Mind-Bending Reality of The Nazi Time Machine

Nazi Germany is sometimes remembered by some for its crazy and ambitious inventions, also known as "wunderwaffes". (we did an article on the top 5 weapons here). Possibly one of the most jaw dropping of them is Die Glocke ("The Bell" in german).

What is it? 

So, what is it? Well, no one really knows. some people have theorisied it was a Nazi time machine/teleporter, others suggest it was some sort of gravity-bending flying machine. Many have cast doubt on its very existence.

What Proof is There?

Well again, none. The first reference to such an object is in the 2000 Polish book - Prawda o Wunderwaffe (The Truth About The Wonder Weapon) by Igor Witkowski. Witkowski's claims of a device called "The Bell" engineered by Nazi scientists that was "a glowing, rotating contraption" rumored to have "some kind of antigravitational effect", be a "time machine", or part of an "SS antigravity program" for a flying saucer called the "Repulsine". 

That all sounds kind of crazy right? given the Nazi's somewhat mysterious obsession with "supernatural" or "ancient technologies", such as Hitlers apparent search for the lost city of Atlantis, the idea starts to get less unbelievable.

Many thousands of UFO "sightings" from the 1960's to Present day describe the concept of a disc shaped saucer - and gravity-bending properties, much like Die Glocke. There's also a chance the whole story of Die Glocke was fabricated from the same rumours and sightings of the past.
