Here are pages 1-5 of the Hull letter. Per Linda, Hull was the prototype maker for Townsend's Bahson lab saucer. I believe he worked on the "flame jet generator"-Meadville project as well. At the time of this correspondence, Hull was living in London, stirring up press interest in anti-gra...

Dr. Sarbacher brought Townsend home from his second Paris trip and waited in the car while Townsend dropped off gifts and kissed everyone hello and good-bye. Linda reports that she didn't see him again for a year, and AFIK, that year is a void to us resarchers, as well. Meanwhile, the race to space ...

Linda and Jo were heartbroken to be leaving Chantilly. They had been house shopping in the belief that they would be settling down at last. But, Townsend was again, almost suddenly diverted to Meadville. This is where I too run out of steam. I won't even try to connect what was happening, except I a...

Townsend doing fluff and fold. What an image! Let's look at what lies on the ground at the time of Embassy Laundry: Wiki says: UK prime minister Winston Churchill and the Eisenhower administration decided in early 1953 to overthrow Iran's government, though the preceding Truman administration had op...

Your friend's TTB chronology traces his movements on the ground, but I think it might be useful to look at dates on Townsend's surviving correspondence to JO. When he weeded his papers, he left only a couple of his letters to her. Each mentions a specific meeting. Why did he keep those 2? The first ...

Just lump them under the heading of "Jan Blathers On" and on and on... I just had a slap forhead moment. I think you or someone developed a timeline of Townsends travels, but I don't have it readily to hand. If the year/mo matches, Townsend's Prescott and Williams might have been Stancil a...

I don't want to take over your forum with my exuberant, so-excited-to-talk-Townsend-again posts, but you and I seem to be the only people who really care whether he mastered gravity or not. And if, as you say, something was "swept out the black door," then it was the solid dielectric exper...

TLDR: Bill Moore had it wrong. In 1939, Atomic pioneer, Enrico Fermi delivered a lecture for the NRL. Townsend was subsequently assigned to the Philadelphia Naval Yard, working in the hydraulic power plant there. He did such an excellent job that the Director of the Yard wrote to the Navy, asking th...

Townsend habitually referred to his business acquaintances by the names of their location. Thus when he wrote to Jo, that he met with, or intended to meet with Prescott and Willaims he was likely referring to individuals in the NW corner of Arizona. The population centers there are Prescott, William...

Paul, thanks for playing! Sorry for the wall of words. I have years of pent up Townsend talk, patiently waiting for my wits to grow sharper. I am not sure if Winterhaven was a complete misdirection. I recall tracking a seemingly related contract from initial study until it was swept out the Black do...

San Antonio: an alternate theory. After “meeting” Townsend through Paul and Linda, I began researching the history of clandestine signals organizations operations, beginning with Elizabeth Friedman cracking the bootleggers code, until the end of the Cold War. Though I have an extensive library from...

Laughing at the Josephine photo. I still make that bosqiol cobbler. Thank you, Phil. Did you note that the report of the lighting project was received via radiotelephone? Quite high-tech for the time. I also smiled at the note that the pineapple growing lights, turned on for ten minutes at midnight,...

hey there, Nate. Thank you for the link. That is where I read the story originally. What a string of names, some of whom I had forgotten about! Brown most certainly moved in an overlapping Venn circle with the Stanford CIA psi research. George Leach recalled seeing plants in the basement, as part of...

Paul, Jess, Nate, Phil...it's good to see you all here again. I am a historian by virtue of my undergrad degree, but my first real job out of college was as a systems analyst for the US Navy. (There was a severe shortage of computer science graduates in 1972). I had visibility to some of the advance...
