My guest tonight is DENNIS CRENSHAW of Unraveling Secrets. We will be discussing Dennis’s new book Secrets of Dellschau The Sonora Aero Club & The Airships of the 1800s: A True Story. It is the story of two men’s obsessions: C.A.A. Dellschau – who spent the last 20 years of his life using every waking moment creating thousands of drawings of strange looking flying machines he called Aeros. Hidden within those drawings were coded messages documenting the story of a secret life. A story he had pledged not to reveal under the threat of death. A story of knowledge, inventions and power sources beyond his time . . . beyond our time. A story that could rewrite history. And, P.G. “Pete” Navarro – An extremely talented artist in his own right, spent 27 years unravelling Dellschau’s secrets. What he discovered was an amazing story of events – – Events that, according to Dellschau, took place during the Gold Rush years of the mid- 1800s in Northern California. A story of flying machines, secret societies, anti-gravity fuel and possibly even .. . murder! Sound like fiction? Don’t be so hasty to decide. Have you ever heard of the Airship Mystery of the 1800s?
