Africa's Area 51

Patterns Tell Stories | UFOs & High Strangeness

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss the secretive missile and space program in Zaire known as OTRAG, spearheaded by ex-Nazis and backed by the CIA and BND. The terms of the agreements, excavation plans, and covert funding reveal an operation by retired Paperclip scientists to build their own version of Area 51 in Africa during the late 1970s.
