Outer Dimensional Forces

The Outer Dimensional Forces (O.D.F.), also known as the Armageddon Time Ark Base Operation, is a UFO-believing religious group, anticipating a millennial apocalypse, based in Weslaco, Texas.

History

The group was founded by Orville T.Nodrog on September 3 1966. During the last decade the group have fallen back into obscurity. It is not even clear whether Nodrog, last seen in his nineties, is yet living or whether he has since perished.

Beliefs

The group's beliefs are outlined in a rather enigmatic document entitled The State of Time Station Earth. The group claims that, having "returned" in 1966, the Outer Dimensional Forces found that humans had destroyed the pristine Earth. The document discusses such topics as the humans' inefficient use of the Circle as the friction-generating wheel and the endangerment of mankind by the Armageddon Disease (that is, AIDS). They believe that great advances were possible for humans, by means of a "Universal Time Bank" of energy, but that the wicked governments of man had ruined this potential. For this reason, they believed that the purgation of the Earth in order to facilitate future, responsible habitation was inevitable and necessary.
