Complete unpublished book by Otis T.
Carr, written in 1952, entitled
DIMENSIONS OF MYSTERY.

Nine 1958 Long John Nebel radio shows featuring Otis T. Carr and/or
his work. The quality is poor, but the content is of historical
interest.
Long John Nebel had a wide audience, covered all aspects
of the unusual and paranormal, and was the Art Bell of his day.

Project Camelot is privileged to have been introduced to
Ralph Ring,
a gifted intuitive technician who in the late 1950s and early 1960s
worked closely with Otis T. Carr, a protégé of the great inventor
Nikola Tesla.
Prior to meeting Carr, Ralph had helped the famous
French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau develop the aqualung, and had
then spent a period working with a government-funded research
organization called Advanced Kinetics.
Bill Ryan talked with Ralph for over twelve hours on their first
meeting, in March 2006. He was genial, charismatic, gentle,
compelling, and sprightly for his 71 years. The story he told was
captivating.
Ralph Ring in 1984
In essence, the account is as follows.
Carr and a small group of
engineers and technicians, one of whom was Ralph, built a flying
disk, powered by rotating electromagnets in conjunction with a
number of small, ingenious capacitor-like devices called "Utrons".
A
number of prototypes were built, ranging in size from experimental
models a few feet across to a passenger-carrying craft which was
fully 45 feet in diameter.
The smaller disks flew successfully – one
even disappeared completely and was permanently lost – and Ralph
himself testifies to having co-piloted, with two others, the large
craft a distance of some ten miles, traversing this distance
instantaneously.
Carr was seriously intent on taking his craft to the moon.
However,
two weeks after Ralph's dramatic experience, their laboratory was
forcibly shut down by government agents and all files and
documentation were confiscated. The group was forced to disband, and
the project was never completed.
Dismayed and frustrated, Ralph later
bought some land in Arizona where he built a futuristic disk-shaped
home which he said was astonishingly energy-efficient and, he later
realized, decades ahead of its time.
Carr's work has been recorded in several
places, but the details are relatively scant.
One highly respected
physicist, researching alternative energy systems with the backing
of a substantial organization, told Bill Ryan that he "had never
investigated Otis Carr because his claims just seemed too
outlandish." But few researchers are aware that one of the team of
Carr's engineers is still alive.
Project Camelot is proud to tell
Ralph Ring's story, and will be
releasing a video interview with him
within the next few weeks.
When recalling the heady events of the late 1950s working day and
night with Carr, Ring again and again stressed that the key was
working with nature.
"Resonance", he would emphasize
repeatedly. "You have to work with nature, not against her."
He
described how when the model disks were powered up and reached a
particular rotational speed,
"...the metal turned to Jell-o. You
could push your finger right into it. It ceased to be solid. It
turned into another form of matter, which was as if it was not
entirely here in this reality. That's the only way I can attempt
to describe it. It was uncanny, one of the weirdest sensations
I've ever felt."
What was it like working with Carr?
"He was an unquestioned genius.
Tesla had recognized his quality immediately and had taught him
everything he knew. He was inspired, and – like Tesla – seemed
to know exactly what to do to get something to work. He was a
private man and was also very metaphysical in his thinking. I
think the fact that he was not formally trained in physics
helped him.
He was not constrained by any preconceived ideas. As
crazy as it sounds now, he was determined to fly to the moon and
really believed it could be done. I believed it. We all did."
Did the craft fly?
"Fly is not the right word.
It
traversed distance. It seemed to take no time. I was with two
other engineers when we piloted the 45' craft about ten miles. I
thought it hadn't moved – I thought it had failed. I was
completely astonished when we realized that we had returned with
samples of rocks and plants from our destination. It was a
dramatic success. It was more like a kind of teleportation.
"What's more, time was distorted somehow. We felt we were in the
craft about fifteen or twenty minutes. We were told afterwards
that we'd been carefully timed as having been in the craft no
longer than three or four minutes. I still have no complete idea
how it worked. We just built it exactly according to Carr's
instructions. Everything had to be perfect... it all had to be
just so, or it he said it would not work: a kind of symbiotic
state between man and machine.
"The Utron was the key to it all. Carr said it accumulated
energy because of its shape, and focused it, and also responded
to our conscious intentions. When we operated the machine, we
didn't work any controls. We went into a kind of meditative
state and all three of us focused our intentions on the effect
we wanted to achieve. It sounds ridiculous, I know. But that's
what we did, and that's what worked. Carr had tapped into some
principle which is not understood, in which consciousness melds
with engineering to create an effect. You can't write that into
equations. I have no idea how he knew it would work. But it did.
"I've lost count of the number of people who have refused to
believe what happened. I no longer talk about it. It's no fun
being laughed at and ridiculed. But I've described it exactly as
it occurred. One day someone will build the disk just as we did
and they'll have the same experience. All his blueprints still
exist. Nowadays, it would all be done with digital and solid
state circuitry - no moving parts would be necessary.
"I've heard that the aliens use the same principle to operate
their craft. Their physics seems to work in harness with their
consciousness. The craft amplifies the power of their minds.
Their craft won't operate without the pilots. I've heard that's
why we can't operate their craft – or, at any rate, we can't
operate them the way they do. We're just not adept enough
mentally and spiritually.
So there are two secrets to making the
saucers work.
We may have duplicated some of
the first, but we may be a long way from the second yet."
Ralph Ring with Bill Ryan
Bill Ryan left Ralph having promised to get the information into the
hands of someone who could understand and then duplicate the
dramatic experiments conducted by Carr and his team.
Ralph and Bill
Ryan had agreed to work together to see the project through to its
reality. Shortly afterwards, Ralph went into hospital for a routine
knee replacement operation.
He accidentally received the wrong
treatment, and nearly died three times. At the time of writing (July
2006) he has just recently emerged, very frail, from intensive care
- but is determined to tell his story.
Prior to that he had enjoyed
perfect health for 71 years.
This is exactly what Project Camelot is for.
