So, what I read so far is that he might've died on Jan 8th instead of 7th, even though everywhere else they still refer to 7th.
And that there were many parties interested in going through Tesla's seized belongings, to find out if there is anything useful in them, but Edgar Hoover always answered with the same answer, saying that the FBI didn't take anything, but the Office of Alien Property did. Then the OoAP anwered with "never had custody, nor has vested, any property of Nikola Tesla".
Interesting. Seems like some people were identifying themselves as the FBI and took things from Tesla's place? But honestly, this is a lot to take in, so who knows what other information I can come across.
- katsura 7y agoOne of the letters written in 1957 July 25 mentions that (first PDF page 57): ...a radio type machine known as Tesla Set which was invented by Mr. TESLA in 1938 for interplanetary communication. Mr. and Mrs. STORM claim that TESLA's engineers did not complete the Tesla Set until after TESLA's death in 1943. Mr. and Mrs. STORM claim that this Set was placed in operation in 1950 and since that time TESLA engineers have been in close touch with space ships. etc. Wikipedia says that: The launch of the first human-made object to orbit Earth, the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, on 4 October 1957 The dates don't add up. I know the people in the letter were making accusations, but who did they think the engineers were talking to? Aliens?
- _-___________-_ 7y agoWell, "interplanetary communication" certainly suggests a belief that they weren't talking to other humans.
- Jon_Lowtek 7y agoRead that letter very carefully: it is about some Mr. and Mrs Storm trying to exploit Teslas reputation by making up wild stories about UFOs and aliens.
