The Mysterious Genius Who Patented the UFO

It makes my heart glad to see this. As a 15 year old kid, I took his week long class in tool making. At time a neighbor who also knew Alex would drive me and his grandson to school every morning. Sometimes we would stop off at the Weygers house for coffee. He was always friendly towards us kids and would break out his blueprints of the flying machines he had invented. I still have my notebook I kept when I took his course and an autographed copy of his tool making book. He was an amazing person and great influence on young me.

You are truly great when you die a no body and after death the world learned you were great

This art dealer may have been somewhat obsessed, but the art and other artifacts like drawings from Mr. Weygers are pretty wonderful so I can see why he picked up this ball and ran with it.

so heartfelt! Weygers was a true legend, so awesome someone Randy could see him through his artwork. Beautiful story

Tesla did it 1st, seems nobody's able to give him credit

Rest In Peace Randy..Thank you for your extensive efforts over the years. One day maybe Alexander Weygers will get the recognition he so rightfully deserves.

Thanks so much for this piece Ashlee. It's always interesting to see someone who finds an interest and follows it as far as it can take him/her. Well done!

Man with a legendary mind set, leaving happiness aside and living life own his own 🥰 truly inspire man, i just love his great work done by himself. 🙏

Both men were extraordinary and deserve to be remembered for their respective contributions! Read the pinned article, very well written. I hope Ms. Thomas is able to fulfill the foundation's mission. Thanks for this story, its inspiring!

Great story in a story. Weygers was a special very man. I had the privilege to study with him. Finding this just keeps his story going, yet with such a tragic twist.

Whatever it really was that made you bite on that original email, you might only ever know but follow that gut if you recognize it again. Great story, well shared by you and the tone of the story is fantastic, I only wish it was much longer. I imagine in the few short years you had with Randy, so much more was learned than what made it out of the editing room and with his passing, the story doesn't stop there. Now, in a way much as Randy is part of this fascinating man's story, you too are now a part of both of theirs. A follow up perhaps 5 or 10 years from when when Randy left his own legacy behind, you'll take us on another journey, one which hopefully shows the spirit you three share continuing this on... Captivating!

That’s sad he’s gone thank you for making a video about him so all can share in his life’s journey and passion.

R.I.P. Randy ❤️ I now know who Weygers is!

So amazing to see people who have a mission in life, who love what they do and are committed to it 100%. At least with this video, we all learned the name of Alexander Weygers (as well as Randy Hunter).

That was amazing, piece of history, pieces of a life that needs to be seen touched and absolutely put in to memory, and a memory of a person that should be in a memory as a genus himself . Thank you for your time in putting this together!

A great story, I hope that recognition cones now for both men. When someone loves something like that, it's contagious, and just makes me want to live my dreams as well. Life is short, enjoy our short AF existence!!

That art is beautiful, I really like the one where the woman is on her back as if she is dead upon the rocks and man seems to be crying with great sorrow. I could feel his pain.

"How crazy you are....depends on how much money you spend on your project...!" - EPIC !

I sincerely hope that his work —collection, projects, estate— will stay intact as much as possible (assuming his partner isn't exactly a spring chicken either), bc it would be an immense, historic, cultural, and artistic loss for the world! So I do hope that someone with means (I'm talking to you, Bloomberg!) would secure these works in their entirety as is when the time comes...
