Former Disney animator Paul Scarzo is the producer, director and host of a series of DVDs and videos produced under the banner "The 33rd Parallel," which deal with such fascinating topics as UFOs, government conspiracies, and occult lore and symbolism. For this particular DVD, Scarzo conducts an absorbing interview with author and researcher William R. Lyne, who spins one tale after another about the secret truth behind the modern flying saucer phenomenon and its origins deep inside Nazi Germany.
Lyne says at the outset that he believes the UFO phenomenon is very real, but also something entirely manmade. He eschews any belief at all in the better-known "extraterrestrial hypothesis," which posits that flying saucers are the vehicles of aliens from outer space or some other mystical dimension. Lyne has authored several books that lay out this same non-extraterrestrial scenario, including "Pentagon Aliens" and "Occult Ether Physics."
But what Lyne focuses on throughout most of the interview is the nature of secrecy and deception, especially in terms of the Nazis' warmongering and dreams of conquest as well as our own CIA's collaboration with the clandestine but still operational German military colossus in the year's following World War II. Lyne was himself a member of the Army-Air Force, and had contacts within the U.S. intelligence community, many of whom passed along secret information about the technological advances being made in the development of saucer-shaped aircraft and the use of the alien explanation as a clever smokescreen. Lyne even asserts that the UFO community as it exists today is entirely a creation of the CIA, arguing that they are a tightly knit group who continually interview and research only each other in a sort of self-perpetuating incestuous attempt to deceive UFO believers and nonbelievers alike.
Lyne goes on to declare that there are CIA operatives embedded directly within the news media doing the bidding of their dark masters as they leak portions of classified documents combined with other forms of disinformation, using elements of a bought-and-paid-for "friendly media" to spread the kind of lies and half-truths useful to duping the public about where we are technologically and to conceal the future fascism awaiting us when the conspiracy finally comes out in the open.
A lot of that can be seen as typical paranoid ranting, but ah, the stories Lyne tells as he makes his points. One engrossing anecdote after another pours forth from him, including his meeting with someone he believed was the still-living Hitler when Lyne was an art student in San Antonio in the 1960s. As Lyne explains, Hitler actually escaped death in Berlin at the end of the war, and the corpses found in the bunker were look-alikes and misidentifications of other Nazi officials. Lyne also contends that the Nazis were developing their own nuclear technology and even issued morale boosting postcards to the German troops showing an atomic bomb exploding over New York City. Whether the stories are factual or not, it's worth the purchase price of the DVD just to listen to the tales. One should of course form one's own opinion as to their veracity, but they appeal to the imagination in any case.
As for Paul Scarzo, the mastermind of "The 33rd Parallel" DVD and video series has fallen on hard times recently. After losing his job at Disney Studios, he began to suffer from paranoia and depression, even having nightmares of being attacked by armies of mice. According to a recent article in "The Conspiracy Journal," this is a common affliction suffered by laid off Disney employees, something called "Mickey Mouse Syndrome." In Scarzo's case, he ended up threatening to shoot his girlfriend and himself, and was taken into custody at the Los Angeles County Jail after a confrontation with police. Scarzo has reportedly gone underground since being released and his whereabouts remain unknown as of this writing.
So the mystery just gets deeper and more involving as time passes. With "Hitler's Secret Flying Saucers," you get not just a wonderful smorgasbord of espionage and conspiracy folklore, as told by William Lyne, but also a glimpse into a still-unfolding human drama of another, more personal kind. Will Scarzo ever show his face again? Is he the victim of the same conspiracies he fought to expose? This DVD will make you care about the answers to those and so many other vital questions.
