Declassified UFO / UAP Document
SPIES FOR THE SPACEMEN
AI-Generated Summary
This article reports on a 1976 legal dispute in Germany between two UFO researchers, Karl Veit and August Woerner, over the origins of UFOs. The case reached a Frankfurt court, marking a rare instance of a legal system addressing allegations of 'spying for extraterrestrial powers.'
This document, written by Gordon Creighton, details a legal dispute between two prominent German UFO researchers, Karl Veit and August Woerner. Historically, the two men were close friends and collaborators, with Veit heading the German society for UFO studies (DUIST) and Woerner operating his own UFO study organization in Mayen. Their relationship deteriorated in 1972 due to conflicting theories regarding the origin of UFOs. Veit maintained that the 'Visitors' were from outer space, while Woerner argued that they originated from within the Earth, specifically the mountains of Tibet. The conflict escalated to the point where Woerner accused Veit of being a mouthpiece for 'satanic powers' and Veit initiated legal action, leading to a summons in a Frankfurt court charging Woerner with 'spying for extraterrestrial powers.' The document notes that the court found the case unusual, as it involved espionage allegations regarding extraterrestrial entities, a matter the Federal Public Prosecutor had not previously encountered. The text also includes a personal note from the author regarding his own views on the subject and a list of various UFO and space-related publications available for purchase.
There is no question of throwing the case out as frivolous. It is most unusual. But Herr Woerner and Herr Veit are both serious men. And Herr Woerner clearly believes that he has grounds for complaint.
