Outer Dimensional Forces (ODF)

Outer Dimensional Forces (ODF) is a saucerian group based in Weslaco, Hidalgo Co., Texas, which operates what they refer to as the Armageddon Time Ark Base Operation. The ATABO was established by O. T. Nodrog (also referred to as Orville Gordon in the press), apparently in 1963, on a property in Weslaco where it is claimed that an invisible fifth-dimensional spaceship has been stored since the late 60s. Members assert they are operatives acting under Commander Yahshua Hamashiia of the Positive Section of Outer Dimensional Forces and work in preparation for the evacuation of Earth.

The ODF came to national attention in the United States in 1985 when Mark Alan Lingenfelter, a member of the group, was arrested over a vehicular pipe bombing at McAllen, Texas evidently targeting Hector Farias, mayor of Weslaco, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) subsequently raided the ODF compound, seizing weapons and printed material. Lingenfelter was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 1986.

"DECLARATION OF EXPATRIATION" (1989)

 * "With the facts as they can be received by man from the Outer Dimensional Forces of the Creator through Armageddon Time Ark Base which is the only source open to the public for the perfect knowledge for survival through these end times into the Millennium and also as slated in Rev. 14, 9-12 man cannot accept the number or any other honor toward a false God for to do so would cause condemnation of the pattern to be lost forever, Therefore the undersigned declares allegiance to our Creator the great Yahweh and his positive son Yahshua Hamashiia and also declares independence from the Democracy of the District of Columbia and returning to the republic of the United States of America according to U.S. statutes at large in Vo. 15 page 223-224 to pursue the right of Life, Liberty and Pursuit to Happiness in working toward perfection of our patterns as meant to be by our Creator."
