The Carr Spacecraft

In the 1950s a man named Otis T. Carr claimed to invent a flying machine that used an antigravity motor. He even took out a U.S. patent on his device. The patent was 2,912,244. It was patented as an amusement device. Carr claimed he had invented an antigravity engine called the Utron or U-tron, this is not clear. Carr offered to build and deliver the engine to the U.S. government without one penny of investment by the U.S. public. He claimed the engine could power a spacecraft to the moon in about 7 hours. "Any vehicle accelerated to an axis rotation relative to its attractive inertial mass, immediately becomes activated by free-space-energy and acts as an independent force…" said Carr.

Carr's engine had only two moving parts. The best way to visualize it is to think of two spinning tops one on top of the other and both spinning in different directions. Carr stated that when counter rotation matches forward rotation a body looses its polarity ....and acts as an independent force and that this causes the counter rotating mass to become weightless and enables it to escape the gravitational forces. In 1952 an independent lab verified that a model of four inches in diameter, produced 1,.000 tons of energy. The U.S. government didn't become interested, however, until the late 1950s.

It is said that Otis Carr had become friends with Nikola Tesla, the greatest electrical genius who ever lived and conversed with him at his hotel on a regular basis. His vehicle was actually finished in 1947 but he couldn't interest anyone in it, although he tried repeatedly. Carr said the core of his space ship would be a huge battery which would spin at the velocity of the external craft and which would be recharged, he said, by its motion. Carr declared such a battery, built to any size, could be designed to power the largest electric generating plant, operate an automobile, heat a house or power any conceivable machine or device.

In 1957 Otis T. Carr, President and Norman Evans Colton, Director of Sales, were interviewed by radio host Long John Nebel. Nebel told the audience that O.T.C. Enterprises Inc. of Baltimore was selling the spacecraft for $20,000,000 each and that the craft was a saucer shaped object. Nebel had a working model. Yes a working model. Carr told Nebel that after the first few craft were built, that the price would drop to $4,000,000 each. Carr claimed that he had seen ufos and that they were electrified and he recognized that fact since he had been working on the same principle for years. Carr told Nebel that his design utilizes gravity, electro-magnetism, and electromotive force and a relative field to get its functional operation. He said in plain English it's a central power core. Now this is what we call an 'accumulator.' In a vernacular sense, it is a factory. It is a storage cell, an accumulation of storage cells which provide an electromotive force in the same manner that any known battery produces an electromotive force. Carr also told Nebel that he had sent a brochure of his system to the president who was Eisenhower at the time but never received an answer. Carr went on to explain that the craft would have its own internal gravity at all times and it could become almost weightless when landing and it didn't need a heat shield because there would be an electrified field around it to protect it. (Sounds like the air spike)

On April 15, 1959 a launch event was held in Oklahoma City with hundreds of people invited. They were told that a model saucer would rise 400 to 600 feet off the ground from a gravel pit. An announcement was made that the launching was being postponed due to a bad bearing. But Carr seems to have been admitted into the hospital for eight days with lung hemorrhage and it seems preliminary preflight test the accumulator developed a leak which sprayed mercury all over the inside mechanism.

Mr. Aho, an employee of Otis Carr's company announced that he will go to the moon on December 7, 1959, the trip will take 5 hours and he will stay for 7 days and return. The ship he will use is 45 feet in diameter and weighs 30 tons, it is powered by the Utron engine. On June 2, 1960, Carr is very distressed by the fact that it is being said that his trip to California is for the purpose of selling stock. The U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission had an injunction placed against Carr, ordering him to stop selling unregistered stock.

In January of 1961 the Attorney General Of New York, Louis J. Lefkowitz says Carr has swindled $50,000.00. True Magazine calls Carr a hoaxer.

Did the Utron saucer ever fly? I see no record of it. Could it have been a cover-up to hide advanced technology? It seems a possibility, but who knows. Just the fact that Tesla may have had some input, no matter how little, makes one really wonder.
