Strange Government Projects Operations: X-RAY

➡ J Dreamers is starting a series about strange government projects, with the first one being Project X Ray or Bat Bombs. This was a real World War II project where the U.S. attached timed firebombs to bats, which were then released over Japanese cities to start fires. The project was approved by President Roosevelt and involved various people, including a zoology professor, an actor, and a former gangster. J Dreamers also mentions his new merchandise available on his website.
➡ A group of bat enthusiasts in the Air Force planned to use bats as a weapon during World War II. They attached napalm to bats, kept them in hibernation, and planned to release them over Japan to start fires. However, after several tests and accidents, the project was handed over to the Navy and then the Marine Corps. The project was eventually cancelled in favor of the atomic bomb project, after spending an equivalent of $34.9 million in 2024.
➡ The text is about the author’s struggle to leave a situation, despite many opportunities to do so. They repeatedly express the need to “wake up” and face reality, instead of avoiding it. The author also mentions a Patreon page, a website for merchandise, and a chat for further discussions.

Time to wake up. Time to wake up. Aloha. What’s up, everyone? Welcome to today’s presentation. I’m J Dreamers and I’m starting a series for the next couple of weeks where I’m going to be talking about strange government projects and operations. And today is the very first one of that series. Today we’re going to be talking about Project X Ray, also known as Bat Bombs. The United States Bat Bombs. What is this all about and how is this even real? Was it considered to be real? Today’s presentation. I’ve got a sponsor here. Today’s presentation is brought to you by.

Let’s see if I could bring it up correctly. Will it work myself? As you guys know, I have a website, jdremers.com and this is one of my newest pieces of merch. It’s called the Truth Seeker sticker. I’ve got various kinds of merch over on my website, jdreamers.com if you want to get your J Dremmer sticker. I’ll be putting this one up tonight after this presentation and that will be available. Let’s see. I think I have actually a video I took of it too. See the Bat Bomb thingy? Let’s see. Do I have the video? Is it this one? Yeah, there it is.

This video you can see it’s a. It’s a nice high quality plastic. It’s got a nice shine to it and stuff. Durable, you know, it’ll last if you stick it out of your car. You know, it’ll last through the weather and stuff like that. But it’s really cool I put that together. And also I have a new bookmark that I’ll show you guys too that I’ll be giving out with my books. So people that buy my books, they get a lot of extra free merch and stuff too. See if I could find it. Is it this one? Yeah, there it is.

All right, so this is my new bookmark. Says creativity is the bridge between fact and fiction. And I don’t know if I have the backside of that. I don’t think I included the backside for this presentation, but the backside is pretty cool too. It’s just a hole in the. In the dome above, sort of a synth wave retro vibe. But without any further ado, let’s get into the presentation and I’m going to start here and I’m going to be sharing this weird government project with everybody, the Bat Bombs, AKA Project X Ray. So let’s check this out together, shall we? It says here Bat Bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States.

The bomb consisted of a bomb shaped casing which you’ll see some pictures of here. A bomb shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernated, a hibernating Mexican free tailed bat with a small timed incendiary bomb. That means a firebomb that’s attached to the bat. Now hold on before we go any further, I want you to consider this as we go further into all of this series with these strange government projects and operations. By the way, if you have one that you want to recommend, leave it in the comments. I might even make a post for you guys to leave some recommendations.

But think about this. If they did this and it was top secret and it was classified and millions of dollars are spent on these projects, do you really think that they’re just declassified? They just decided forget it and did away with them. And also what are they doing now? What kind of weird, strange out there science fiction, unbelievable experiments and projects are they working on currently that will be declassified in another episode a hundred years from now when we look back on today and go, I can’t believe they did that. You know what I mean? These bats were dropped from a bomber at dawn.

The casings would deploy a parachute in mid flight and open to release the bats which would then disperse. And the bats would roost in the eaves and the attics over a 20 to 40 mile radius. The incendiaries which were set on timers would then ignite and start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper constructions of the Japanese cities that were the weapons intended targets. The United States Navy took control in August of 1943 using the codename Project X Ray. The bat bomb was conceived by Lyle S. Adams, who lived from 1881 to 1970, a dental surgeon from Pennsylvania who was acquaintances with the first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt.

Now if you watched my decoding of a night at the museum, President Roosevelt, I think that’s who it was in the movie, wasn’t it? Comes into play too. The inspiration for Adam’s suggestion was a trip he took to Carlsbad Caverns national park, which is home to many bats. There’s a huge cave system. Adams wrote about his idea for incendiary bats in a letter to the White House on January of 1942, little more than a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Adams was intrigued by the strength of the bats and he knew that they roosted before dawn.

He also knew that most of the buildings in Tokyo were Constructed of wood instead of concrete. He believed that if time released, incendiaries could be attached to the bats. Some kind of container holding them could be dropped over the city after dark and the bats would simply roost and burn Tokyo to the ground. In his letter now, you would think as the President of the United States or the Secret Service or the CIA, you would think initially they would be like, that’s wacko. That’s crazy. Nope, they thought it was brilliant. In his letter, Adam stated that the bats that the bat was the lowest form of animal life and that until now reasons for its creation have remained unexplained.

He went on to espouse that bats were created by God to await this very hour, to play their part in the scheme of free human existence and to frustrate any attempt of those who dare desecrate our way of life. AKA the Japanese President Roosevelt passed the letter on to William Donovan, the director of the Office of Strategic Services, in which he attached a cover letter that read, this man is not a nut. It sounds like a perfectly wild idea, but it’s worth your time looking into. Donovan was enthused by the idea and instructed Stanley Platt Lovell to use the Research and Development Branch, the RD Department, to pursue the initial designs and development strapping firebombs to bats.

Lovell, a close aide of Bush, associated the project to Division 19 of the National Defer National Defense Research Committee, also known as the Sandman Club. I have done a video decode of the name Sandman and the entity legendary, you know, archetype called the Sandman. You should check that one out too. You’ll understand why they call this the Sandman Club. So this guy was the commander of the Sandman Club. Harris Chadwell, Lovell’s subordinate and the Chief of Division 19. By the way. 19. Anytime you see that is a reference to the 19 angels that are listed in the book of Enoch.

19:19 Chiefs of all of the angels that are listed as being those who collaborated and got together on Mount Hermon to basically plan against mankind and to swear a solemn oath under the penalty of death that they would mate with human women, that they would integrate themselves into our society, that they would keep this a secret. 19. There’s also 19 tributaries to the central land at the North Pole that’s seen on medieval maps, AKA the Garden of Eden and its four rivers. So they recruited the Harvard zoology professor Donald Griffin onto the project. The plan was subsequently approved by President Roosevelt in Griffin’s.

On Griffin’s advice. Now, after government approval, after Roosevelt Gave the project his approval. It was relegated to the authority of the United States Army Air Force. Adams assembled the workers for the project, including the mammalogist Jack Von Bloker, the actor Tim Holt, a former gangster and a former hotel manager, and many others. Hold on. I want to, actually, I want to point this out. Why are they hiring an actor? Right? So for some of you who have seen Fallout, the TV series, they hire this, this huge mega corporation hires a prolific actor to be like the poster boy for the Fallout Corporation, for the corporation that sells these doomsday bunkers.

Actors have been hired across time to play strategic roles as spies, as presidents. As a matter of fact, in, in the movie Back to the Future, when he goes back to 1955, Doc asks who’s the president in 1985? And he goes, Ronald Reagan. Boom. And he laughs at him. He scoffs. He says, the actor. Right? They hire a lot of actors to be out in the public eye, to really try to push agendas and stuff. So for example, Bill Nye, the science guy, he’s an actor, he’s not a professor or anything of the sort. All right.

Von Bloker, his assistant. Oh, I, I got a super chat. Hey, who is that? Silent Shadow 6. USMC. Thank you so much. Hey, I super appreciate it. Thank you very much. All right, let’s see, where were we? Von Bloker, his assistants Jack Kofer and or Osro Wiswell, a scientist, described themselves as bat lovers. They loved bats so much. They love these bats so much, they’re going to strap napalm to them. Noted that it did not occur to them to question the morality or the ecological consequences for sacrificing a few million bats for the duration of the project.

Many members enlisted in the Air Force, where Adams quickly promoted them to acting non commissioned officers. What does that mean in layman’s terms? That means that they took a bunch of regular people like this actor and these other people and they just stuck them in the military. And, and they promoted them instantly to whatever rank they needed to be to have the permission to do stuff like, right, get my microphone out of the way. Now we go on with the story. The team had to determine several variables to make the project feasible, including what kind of incendiaries could be attached to the bats, as well as the temperatures at which to store and transport them.

The bats had to be kept in hibernation while they were shipped. Accomplish this, they were stuck in ice cube trays and cooled. Man, that’s messed up. They froze the bats and then they Burned them to death. Hey, thanks again so much, usmc. I appreciate you. They also had to decide what species of bat to use for the bombs. After testing several species, the Mexican free tailed bat was selected. Adams had to ask for permission from the National Park Service for Griffin to go and harvest large numbers of Mexican free tailed bats from caves on government property.

So they went into the national parks, which we talked about during my night at the museum. Decoding, right. My truth and movie segment. Why they would set aside all these huge tracts of land. Because they’re nature lovers. The government just loves nature so much. You know, I think there’s more to the story. Oftentimes these huge tracts of lands have gigantic cave systems. So he had to ask permission from the National Park Service and they got permission. While the original plan was to arm the bats with white phosphorus, American chemist Louis Pfizer, Griffin’s former roommate at Harvard, joined the team and.

And white phosphorus was replaced with his invention, napalm. They’re going to put napalm on the poor bats and release them to spray napalm on a triggered timer in the houses of all the Japanese people. This is insidious. Tests were used. They tested this as well. This is a picture of the testing site right here. They have like a little mock Japanese city out in like Nevada or something. And they released bats, napalm bats on this city. Tests were used to determine how much napalm an individual bat could carry, determining that a 14 gram or half an ounce bat could carry a payload of 15 to 18 grams.

The napalm was stored in small cellulose containers dubbed H2 units. After trying several attachment methods, they decided to attach the H2 unit to the bats using an adhesive, gluing them to the front of the bats. Imagine what they do with people, okay? The ends justify the means. This is a robotic, reptilian insectoid mindset. There is no reasoning, there is no love, there is no compassion. This is terrible. This is. This is mind blowing that humans could do this. A great number of humans. How could they keep the secret? No way. This is a. This is, this is just a conspiracy.

How could so many people keep this secret? You know what I mean? Like, there’s no way. It’s just impossible. So many people would have to keep this secret of bat bombs. Eventually everyone would know about it. Or that’s what they say about the moon landing everything, right? It’s literally on the Internet for your reading pleasure. The bomb carrier was a sheet metal tube approximately one and a half meters in length. The inside of the tube was fitted with 26 circular trays, each of each of which was 76cm in diameter. In total, each bomb carried carrier hold held about 1040 bats.

It was planned that the carrier would be deployed from an airplane descending to an altitude of 1200 meters or 4000ft before deploying parachutes. Sides of the bomb carrier would then fall fall away, allowing the bats to disperse. This bomb would open up a parachute, the sides of the bomb would fall off and drop off and all the bats would be free to fly out. Setbacks and transfer to the US Navy. A series of tests to answer various operational questions were conducted. In one incident, the Carlsbad Army Air Force or or Airfield Auxiliary Air base near Carlsbad, New Mexico was set on fire on 15 May 1943 when armed bats were accidentally released.

The bats roosted underneath a fuel tank and incinerated the test range. Following this setback, the project was relegated to the Navy in August of 1943 who renamed it Project X Ray and then they passed it to the Marine Corps that December. I could see the Marines doing something like this. The Marine Corps. The Marine Corps moved. So many memories. The Marine Corps moved operations to the Marine Corps Air Station at El Centro in California, which is now closed down. But you may have, you may remember El Centro from the movie. What was that movie with Will Smith? Independence Day.

Right. After several experiments and operational adjustments, the definitive test was carried out on the Japanese village, a mock up of the Japanese city that was built by the Chemical Warfare Service at their Dugway Proving Ground test site in Utah. They have a whole little mock up Japanese city in Utah where they just released all of these napalm bats. Observers at this test offered optimistic accounts. The chief of the incendiary testing at Dugway wrote this. A reasonable number of destructive fires can be started. In spite of the extremely small size of the units. The main advantage of the units would seem to be their placement within the enemy structures without the knowledge of the householder or, or fire watchers, thus allowing the fire to establish itself before being discovered.

That’s how Reptilians talk. That’s, that’s how bugs talk. That’s how computers talk, okay? There is no humanity. The way that they just said that the others is holding the bat as if it’s like a wrench or a hammer or whatever. The national, the National Defense Research Committee observer stated it was concluded that X Ray is an effective weapon. Reminds me of. What was that movie we broke down the Tom Cruise when he was a Clone. And they kept. They kept asking him and his teammate, like, are you an effective team? The chief chemist’s report said that on a weight basis, X ray was more effective than the standard incendiary bombs that were used at the time.

And the quote says, expressed in another way, the regular bombs would give probably 167 to 400 fires per bomb per load, where X ray would give 3,625 to 4,748 fires. More tests were scheduled for mid-1944, but the program was cancelled by Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King when he heard that it would likely not be combat ready until about 1945. By that time, it was estimated that $2 million, an equivalent to $34.9 million in 2024, had been spent on the project. It’s thought that development of the Bat bomb was moving too slowly and was overtaken by the race for a quick end to the war by the atomic bomb project.

$2 million. Think about, like, this was unknown to the public. This is all your tax money. This is all your money. Allegedly. You know, this is all your money, right? That they’re spending. They’re not spending their own money on this, you know, wacko cockamamie Batman R D project. They’re spending your money and you don’t even know it. What are they spending your money on right now? That’s some wild cockamamieny crazy idea. Think about that. Let’s see. Goes on to say Adams maintained that the Bat bombs would have been effective without the devastating effects of the atomic bomb.

He says, think of thousands of fires breaking out simultaneously over a circle of 40 miles in diameter for every bomb dropped. Japan could have been devastated, yet without the small loss of lives. But that doesn’t even make sense. It’s so contradictory. He’s saying this Bat bomb would be way more effective because it would save lives as opposed to dropping a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki or Hiroshima. Right. They just. They only wanted to, like, burn the infrastructure. They didn’t. They didn’t want to kill anyone. Can you believe that? The infamous invasion by Bats project was afterwards referred to by Stanley P.

Lovell, Director of Research and Development for Office of Strategic Services, whom General Donovan ordered to review the idea as div. It’s in German. D Fledermaus farce. Die Fledermaus farce. I think that means, like the Bat, the bad bat idea, or something in German. Levelhead also mentioned bats during testing were dropping to the ground like stones. That during these tests, the bats were just crashing down and falling down. And that is the infamous Project X ray, a strange and secret government project that didn’t go so well and never came to be.
