1940s: The Hefferlin Manuscript

Typewritten and handwritten copies of these manuscripts have been in circulation since the Hefferlins, began releasing them from Livingston, Montana in the late 1940s. At the time the Hefferlins first heard of Rainbow City in the Antarctic, sometime in 1940 according to them, the information was so fantastic as to be beyond belief. It is still unbelievable to most people that there in the frozen wastes lies a great city, comfortably warm, full of scientific marvels from some great, hitherto unknown civilization of the past. Nevertheless, they were convinced the information was true and cautiously released it a little at a time to the few they found understanding and receptive. Hefferlin claims he designed a flyable, circle-winged plane before Frying Saucers became news in […] Read More

Introduction to THE HEFFERLIN MANUSCRIPT by Gladys Hefferlin Notice to all of you who have read the Shaver Mystery by way of the stories and articles written by Richard S. Shaver. Our material has no connection with the Shaver Mystery. In our correspondence with Mr. Raymond A, Palmer, editor of the Amazing Stories Magazine, we requested him to keep our material separate from the Shaver Mystery and not to use it in connection with the Mystery, Mr. Palmer ignored our request and has deliberately distorted our statements for his own purpose, thereby misleading the readers of Amazing Stories Magazine. This group or organization of which we speak has no name. It is not a Lodge or Mystery School or anything of that sort. No […] Read More

THE GHYT MOTOR In 1940 we gave our friend Emery the designs and information of Ghyt Motor No. 1, burn water for fuel; Circle Winged Plan and the instruments sketched in the article “Power”! All articles were printed in the Amazing Stories Magazine for September 1946. Emery turned them over to the Ancient Three, eventually. We ourselves could do nothing with them for we had no money to develop them, but Emery ran out of money in caring for the first “Circle Winged Plane” which was built, and the Space Ship. Finally, he appealed to his personal friend the Grand Lama, head of the Temple in the Valley of Harmonious Peace, in Tibet which we call “Shangri-La.” The Grand Lama opened the valley for […] Read More

WORLD FEDERATION Syria and Lebanon gained their independence by the action of the Ancient Three. The Arabian States united into a federation by the act of the Ancient Three. And the strength of the federation as a unit is greater than the combined strength of the individual states. They organized according to the pattern of the United States which is the pattern that all the world will follow when the time is ripe. That is, the pattern of government among the States of the World, There are many necessary changes to be made in all departments of living before the Perfect Plan is established. The pattern in the United States is: the forty-eight states are forty-eight individual nations combined into one federation. Each state […] Read More

THE SPACE SHIP This space ship we mentioned in the earlier part of this article is not some illustrating artist’s dream, but a very practical and efficient job, designed for speed-arid maneuverability. Its top speed is entirely theoretical, a possible 186,000 miles per second, actual speed in space unknown as yet. Three separate walls are incorporated in the body construction each separated from the other by many inches of insulation and self-healing material in case of a puncture. The door opening is similar to shoulder-step design as found on a large safe door. At intervals along with the aides are vision ports as on a boat, also along the bottom and top. The control cabin is in the front and has vision front, sides, […] Read More

THIS IS TRULY HORIZONS UNLIMITED. RAINBOW CITY “Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new?. It hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:10 “Behold ye among the heathen, and regard and wonder marvelously for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 From the Temple and Libraries of a great city, one of seven built of plastics, here even now on this earth as it was over 2 million years ago, does our information come. Six of these great cities are encased in eternal ice, and the seventh only is in open ground and protected and warmed by hot springs. Yet it is […] Read More

CHEMICAL FORMULA FOR A PLASTIC Macerate the vegetation to very fine particles and mix with water. Boil this mash at very high heat, strain off the liquid and reboil this as high heat. Skim off all scum and strain the liquid again. Reboil the liquid again at high heat and strain through a final filter. Now subject this remaining liquid for 24 hours to an electronic process conditioning, under a high vibratory or high-frequency condition to rearrange the polarity of the molecules. The liquid is then ready for pouring and molding. After having been molded it is still soft enough to carve immediately. After that the plastic sets and becomes harder each succeeding day. Machines are used for either heating or refrigerating their vicinity, […] Read More

RAINBOW TEMPLE Tremendous in size and appearance are the wondrous temples of learning, each located in the heart of each of the seven cities of that fabulous ancient past, from the beginning of our Mankind on this planet earth. The Rainbow City of the Antarctic continent lies almost due south of a point midway between south of India and the landmass of Australia. It’s great Temple is in the center of the city. The area of the base is in the form of a great square about two of our modern city blocks wide on any side. “X” MARKS THE LOCATION OP RAINBOW CITY To aid the reader in locating Rainbow City, according to Hefferlin’s instructions above, we have chosen an angular view of […] Read More

GLASS HOUSES By means of switches set in walls, these walls become opaque, colored, or clear as crystal glass, giving a view of outside, with one-way or two-way vision as desired. Here, too, even as found in the houses, the kitchens have vibratory type heaters and cookers. All refrigeration either box or cabinet type, as well as room cooling, is also vibratory in nature. There is no. fluctuation in temperatures in the refrigerators as compared with our modern-day types. Here, too, there are no locks on the doors, such as those with which we are familiar. The Ruler apartment doors are operated by a code word and pressing on a certain section of the door. The carpets, rugs, hangings, furniture, robes, bed covers are […] Read More

“PORTAL ACTION” This room, by some electronic means, could act as a television viewer of any place on earth, and above and below the surface. It can view the interior of anything desired, and using some form of a space-time warp can view the past. Future viewing was found to be impossible evidently because there are too many variant possibilities that may happen. Television viewing with soul included made the other important actions of these rooms possible. This we call for want of a better name, Portal Action. When we say Portals we mean that in more ways than one. By some form of electronic vibrational manipulation, this room can be caused to make contact, through a Portal door at one end of the […] Read More

ALADDIN’S LAMP There are numerous crystal spheres tuned to each Portal. By resting a crystal sphere in one’s hand and concentrating the gaze into the crystal and thinking strongly your wish, the Portal obeys your command and comes to you when you are away from and on the outside of the Portal. The fable of Aladdin and his Lamp may have originally come from this source. The Portals might explain the ancient Irish myth of the boat with two eyes painted on the prow to see where it went, and it moved with the speed of thought. Also, the Magic Carpet in Arabian folklore might be explained by the Portals. Perhaps, here too, is the reference to the Portals and the tunnels as quoted […] Read More

FASTEST TRAINS IN THE WORLD The top speed of these trains is unknown to us at present, but our group of scientists tested them well above two thousand miles per hour. As to air resistance and pressure within the tunnels at this speed we do not at present know the answer, they are made of tough metal, the same as used is the tunnel linings, At present only a few mainline and their terminals and trunk lines and branches have been used by our associate’s party. But according to the tunnel map routes these tunnels run deep underground and spread throughout the entire world, beneath the seas and land surfaces in all directions. Of the tunnels explored, one branch line ends in what is […] Read More

PORTAL ANALYSIS OF THE DOLE FLIGHT TO HAWAII In the long-ago history of mankind, during the time of the civilization of Lemuria, its scientists developed great machines to act as transmitters and receivers of metals and certain organic substances. These machines were used to transport these material substances between the earth and the moon. Living organic matter was carried by Space Ships traversing the space between earth and moon. Air is still to be found in the deep caverns of the moon and life still exists there. But the human race has long since degenerated from its original status to a condition beyond belief due to the fact that contact with the earth was broken off 21,000 years ago when Lemuria sank beneath the […] Read More

What was ‘the Rainbow City’? Palmer tacked on the titillating line that Rainbow City, ‘is the headquarters, a deserted city of… (the Elder Race) under the ice of the [South] Pole, where all the gadgets mentioned and thousands more are perfectly preserved for thousands of years.’ Palmer also suggested that Rainbow City be given a seat in the then-new United Nations, but with those teasers, Rainbow City and William C. Hefferlin disappeared from the pages of AMAZING. “In 1947 and 1948, however, the Borderland Sciences Research Foundation, an alternative-reality group based in Vista, California, began issuing bits and pieces of a document called ‘The Hefferlin Manuscript,’ written by W.C. and his wife Gladys at their home in Livingston, Montana. In her introduction to the […] Read More
