It is worth mentioning as well that he enlisted the help of twelve of the world’s most prominent scientists, who wished to remain anonymous. Of those twelve, two were named years after they died, one Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, and one Werner Von Braun of NASA and NAZI fame. Enrico Fermi   Pictured as the only guy not in uniform amongst his peers: Herr Von Braun. Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti (1925-1994) was a Benedictine priest, scientist, and world-class authority on "archaic" music (pre-Christian to 10th century A.D.). He claimed to have yoked quantum physics to the occult arts to construct a time-machine: the chronovisor. Is the Vatican suppressing the full truth of Father Ernetti’s life and achievements? In 1988, the Vatican issued a decree in which it warned that anyone using, an instrument of such characteristics would be excommunicated. To many, this was an unnecessary warning since, according to the Church, the Chronovisor never existed. So why issue a warning for just another hoax?Reports by Father Ernetti suggest that whoever uses the device is able to capture and record specific locations, important events, and track noteworthy individuals. He revealed that it worked by ‘…processing residual electromagnetic radiation left over by numerous processes…’ though giving few details, Father Ernetti remained secretive and stated he was not at liberty to reveal further details about the Chronovisor. Father Ernetti Circa 1960s “‘…processing residual electromagnetic radiation left over by numerous processes…’” In addition to the crucifixion and a speech given by Napoleon Bonaparte, Father Ernetti also claimed to have witnessed a 169 BC production of the tragedy, “Thyestes”, which has been considered a lost work in modern times as only a few fragments of the text remains intact. Father Ernetti claimed to have reconstructed the entire text, which was later translated to English by Princeton University professor, Dr. Katherine Owen Eldred. Eldred noted in her analysis that she believed Ernetti had written the play himself rather than transcribing an original performance. According to French priest and paranormal author, François Brune, he met Father Ernetti in the 1960s when the two were traveling across the Grand Canal of Venice. As the two were experts in ancient languages, they began to talk about the Bible and its interpretation through the years. The Chronovisor has been described as a large cabinet with antennae made from alloys of unknown metals, a connected cathode ray tube, and a control panel of buttons and levers.In a 2003 interview, François Brune relayed that a few months prior to Father Ernetti’s death in 1994, Ernetti told him that he had just partaken in a meeting at the Vatican with the last remaining scientists who worked on the Chronovisor. According to Father Ernetti via Brune, the Chronovisor had been dismantled by that time. On his death bed, Father Ernetti reportedly recanted his claims of the Chronovisor; however, Brune theorized that Ernetti was coerced into making a false confession.
