František Běhounek was an important and respected Czech physicist. He was a student at the famous Marie Curie (the only person to receive two Nobel Prizes), he knew many famous scientists of his time, and after World War II he organized nuclear and radiation research in Czechoslovakia. Probably the strongest experience Běhounek had was his participation in Umberto Nobile's polar expedition in 2. The first expedition in 1928, during which Nobile and Roand Amundsen flew over the North Pole airship, was attended only by his instruments and Běhounek himself remained on Spitsbergen. Nobile personally exchanged his participation in the second expedition with Mussolini, and Běhounek then explored polar cosmic rays during the flight. After the shipwreck of the Italian airship, the wrecks survived for many weeks on icebergs with only small supplies before being rescued thanks to their enormous and international efforts.

In addition to his scientific work, Behumnek was also a writer who wrote not only scientific articles like other scientists. He wrote popular educational books, as well as adventure and science fiction novels for youth. The theme of the wreckage he himself experienced is then drawn like a red thread through his fiction.

For us, it is especially interesting to write about the universe, extraterrestrials and mysterious technologies in their books.

Perhaps most interesting is his trilogy Action L, Robinson Universe and On Two Planets.

The first of the books describes the expedition of young temporary workers to the moon. Half of the book is devoted to depicting the successes and failures of science, preceding the novel's own story. New sources of energy are shown, rays that dissolve matter, the development of medicine, agriculture and space flight. In the second part of the book, the author's favorite theme is the wreck on the moon, which leads to the discovery of an alien (Martian) spaceship. It is worth noting that Runner wrote this novel long before Clarke and Kubrick created their Space Odyssey.

The plot of Robinsoni's novel The Universe (again, Běhounka's favorite theme of the shipwreck) is a bit like the much later film Armageddon. A huge comet or planet arrives from outer space, threatening to destroy the Earth by collision. People will send a spaceship to place nuclear charges on it. The original plan fails, but Earth is saved and the crew, trapped on a comet, must find a way to rescue. Perhaps this novel precedes later reports about Nirimba, but perhaps it is only ideologically related to Verne's novel On the Comet.

The novel Na dvou planetách was not published in Czech. Reports on the Polish translation show that it describes how humanity is being studied by an advanced alien civilization. Because this novel was published during deep communism, it is mainly devoted to the critique of American society. But extraterrestrial observation of humanity is still a living topic to this day

The novel Project Scavenger is also interesting. It takes place in faraway Antarctica, where a criminal scientist is trying to use a special antenna to influence the energy of radiation belts and gain power by controlling the weather. With this novel, Běhounek responded to the discoveries of van Allen's belts - and in fact predicted the fears that HAARP later aroused.

Běhounka's other novels also touch on the themes of mutations and the existence of a secret German base (which he places in Africa), but this is essential in terms of exopolitics in the above-mentioned books. The question then is whether he just wanted to make the plot special and interesting with all these topics (all those topics belong to the golden fund of sci-fi, which has been developing since the 19th century), or he knew more than his contemporaries. Similarly, this question is valid for other similar reports today.
