Hi David. Yes, the quality of Google search results has declined dramatically since about 2019, when there were internal shakeups at Google and the departure of a key search architect. ( https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/ ) However, just because you have some full-text hits, does...

I have finished transcribing the Hull Letter, and added it as an attachment to the post a couple back. I've also put it up on the Internet Archive here: https://archive.org/details/townsend-hull-letter-transcript One more note which has always bugged me about Townsend's Winterhaven-era off-the-map g...

5 gigawatts is... a LOT.

I wonder if Microsoft could allocate a few of those sentient AI supercomputer gigawatts towards fixing some of the security bugs in Windows before they are found by international crime syndicates, and not after.

Hmm, Z-pinch. It's certainly not the first time that approach to hot fusion has been tried. A lot of Silicon Valley venture capital investors in the last few years are sure that they can make various failed 1950s fusion schemes succeed just because they are from the Internet generation. It can't hur...

A ping on this one, and after watching the Tim Ventura interview, yes I agree it deserves its own thread. That's my excuse, anyway: I accidentally created one in the lonely forum "Tech Talk (23)" a few days ago, before I realised Paul had already mentioned it here and my memory had blanked...

Here's the previous mention: viewtopic.php?p=22263#p22263

I feel the same way about the whole elaborate story Cornillion told his employers, about how he spent 1995 trying to chase down Townsend Brown. But I know from Linda that he was the Brown's landlord during their Embassy Laundry period (1993-94). So who was his elaborate charade meant to convince, a...

When Townsend replied to Gray Barker's queries, (or was it Ed Hull') he said he found Brush's work in the Pacific Aeronautical Library in Santa Monica. It is in one or the other of those letters, and both were once online somewhere. Though Townsend would be in LA in 51/52, I have a feeling this eve...

I think the software was modified for airplanes at Skunk Works No, that doesn't make any sense at all. PROMIS was a minicomputer database: something a bit like, say, Microsoft Access today. Airplanes run on avionics hardware. You don't run supersonic jet fighters on databases, you need specialist, ...

Brush was involved with the heat transfer work??? Sort of, maybe, perhaps. Brush is definitely involved with weird theories about heat transfer. Did he achieve any practical results or hardware? Very few have been documented. Charles F Brush was a hands-on electrical engineer/entrepeneur very much ...

Having watched the video: Very interesting. Tim Ventura is a great interviewer with a good grasp of all the previous history - I remember following him in the heady days of the early 2000s when it felt like disclosure was about to happen, until it didn't. I'm glad he's stayed in the game. Like Ventu...

A news story from three days ago (based on a Youtube interview from three months ago) reports an apparent success for an electrostatic propellentless-propulsion drive. This is pinging my Townsend-o-scope. Could it be the long-awaited first actual credentialled unclassified-world replication of somet...

Ok, so the Phasorphone was a voice scrambler. Yes, that would fall into the NSA's turf, and I do believe that the US military-industrial complex has a habit of just grabbing technologies they like and which could have a military use. On those 1976 juicy Cray-1 computer specs: a random access semicon...

I can verify that this article is NOT in Nexus magazine because somebody uploaded the entire back catalogue to the Internet Archive where we can search it for free now. https://ia601708.us.archive.org/view_ar ... 202016.rar I searched all of them and will give the links to the most relevant ones if...

Ok so I'm going to ignore the pictures for the moment because they are not really my business and I can't do much with them. The Vega notebook and its scrambled pages, however, I can. Here's an initial outline of the transcription, with start and end lines of each incomplete page, to try to get a se...
