NIKOLA TESLA 
Guess where his from originally and what he did ?------ This thread is Archived ------
Tesla ... he was of Serbian descent born in part of the Austro Hungarian empire that is now CRpatia ... but Croatia can't really claim him as he was undoubtedly a Serb and alsways identified hinself as such!

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: ?????? ?????; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company would eventually market.
Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and would demonstrate his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures.
Throughout the 1890s, Tesla would pursue his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it.
After Wardenclyffe, Tesla went on to try to develop a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, he lived in a series of New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. The nature of his earlier work and the pronouncements he made to the press later in life earned him the reputation of an archetypal "mad scientist" in American popular culture. Tesla died in New York City in January 1943. His work fell into relative obscurity following his death, but in 1960, the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.

The really interesting fact was that the day following his death the US Office of Alien Property were told by the FBI to sieze and secure all his belongings!
1 He was a US citizen so why were the OAP used? Never answered by either the FBI or the OAP dept
2 The FBI released some of his papers in last few years. The FBI has refused to state categorically that all the papers they held have been released.
3 When eventually Tesla's main belongings were sent back to his family, his nephew found a lot of items missing, yet the FBI claimed they absolutely sent everything, they lied, seeing as they then released papers they had held for around 70 years.
I believe that there are still papers that are being held because the information could be used either to give the world free electricity or details of a weapon that the USA could not fight against.

Among the many questions that I either asked things like UFO's and ancient ruins, Tesla came up on the communicating with aliens. He mentioned that all his notebooks, not individual papers but notebooks filled with future inventions, sketches and notes about aliens and their power sources and communicating with people. He talked about a lot of topics with me and his co workers when they visited. He worked for the CIA since it was formed for over 30 years. Many of those years were spent in their so called UFO department...or as at times called it, the dept. of 'Nasty little things'...As a child he always reminded me never, ever talk about anything that he told me. He was very open at times and strange , as years after an incident, I realized that he had actually used me as part of his cover during an arrest of a Soviet spy in a Washington DC hotel....I had just thought he wanted me along for company....A very strange man. The question of Tesla's netbooks remains a total mystery as to their whereabouts and their contents. I met a distant relative of his and she became upset over all his notes, and his notebooks had been refused when other relatives had asked for their return at some point in the early 1960's...
