(Study Smart Summaries by Allen S. Matteson) I will bet you $1 Trillion of boutique artisinal hand-drawn digital Monopoly money without even looking that this is someone trying to make a quick buck by using ChatGPT to "write" thousands of book summaries, in what has become the depressingl...

Any denizens of the "Before Times" forums will recognized the initials: EHD. Yes, and sadly it means that Linda was well used to "sockpuppeting". I liked her as a person, but her ease of adopting alter personas does drop her reliability quite a bit. Yes, well.... just how many s...

I think "Electrokinetic" is what TTB used to describe the 'fluid dielectric' devices like the Fan, the lifters, and all the artifacts of the 'wounded prairie chicken' era. Certainly "electrokinetic" is a standard and widely accepted term of art in mainstream science, meaning bas...

I will try to make my case in Part 2, of the Academia.edu series, covering 1927-1930

Neat! I think I've missed the URL of your Academia page, can you post it here?

Here's a 1984 article about "The Philadelphia Experiment" (on the occasion of the film based very loosely on the book), including an interview with William L Moore in which even he says he "doesn't buy" the story that he himself amplified. I found it by searching for Moore's now-...

Thanks for pinging this, Jan. Looking at the references section of that 1988 Veritay report, I notice this: 6. Office of Naval Research, The Townsend Brown Electrogravity Device: A Comprehensive Evaluation by the Office of Naval Research, with Accompanying Documents, W. M. Moore Publications, Presco...

Why did Townsend call it a Venusian Scout ship? I get that Adamski did, but did Townsend really accept that it came from Venus? I'm not sure. I think it was just the style of the time - in the circle of UFO-watching engineers which would have included NICAP in the USA and Flying Saucer Review in th...

A chronology of Burkhard Heim's life from the "Protosimplex" website: https://www.engon.de/protosimplex/downloads/Heimchronology.pdf protosimplex 1 www.engon.de/protosimplex Chronological Overview of the Research of Burkhard Heim (The numbers in parentheses refer to the corresponding page ...

Hi Jan. Yes, that quote of Andrew's is from Townsend's 1955 journal 1. The specific Qualight web page that he was quoting (now gone) has been archived, though I'm sure there are many other copies of the Journals (on Rex Research, probably, since Andrew credits that site for the HTML conversion). htt...

In Townsend's 1950s gravitics writings - particularly in the Project Winterhaven documents, but also mentioned in Jacques Cornillion's "Project Montgolfier" writeup - there appears a division in Townsend's thinking between "static" vs a "dynamic" modes of "counterb...

I just stumbled on the British blog "The Haunted Generation" - long story but it's because I've been binge-reading this week 18 years of the British magazine "Look & Learn", part of the backdrop of my childhood - and I think this site's rationale probably sums up best what it...

These are some of my favs. Enjoy! (Shivers). Yep, Three-Armed Mutant 1950s Radio Teletype Guy seems a very appropriate image to describe the state of the Internet today. We are entering an era of accelerated remix culture sucking its own fumes and while I like a good remix as much as the next GenXe...

Interesting find! The reporter, John H Lyst, would four years later become editor of the Indianapolis Star: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/indystar/name/john-lyst-obituary?pid=144899350 During a 45-year career at The Star, Lyst covered everything from the police beat to the collapse of Communi...

Oh. Well. I spoke too soon. That certainly adds to the credibility of the source... For what it's worth, Rex Research has been around a *long* time - the company (and by "company" I mean probably just the same one guy) was one of the outfits advertising "antigravity" papers and ...

Hi Paul! I'm intrigued by the idea of playlists, but curious why you're using YouTube. i clicked on one of the links above, clicked on the first video/track in the list and... had to sit through a couple of commercials before I could actually get to the music. I don't do commercials, or, at least, a...
