THE FINAL FRONTIER
This is how the situation basically remained in the early 1960s. Many more bad movies were made, and sci-fi film went into a state of torpor. Then, on September 8, 1966,
Star Trek
burst on the scene as a television series and changed everything. Through the genius and vision of Gene Roddenberry, all the old dreams of Verne, Wells, Méliès, Pal, and Wise were resuscitated. The series revived in character, style, and technology the dramatic journey of the human race now graduated above greed and violence with a new maturity of consciousness, out among the stars, exploring “space, the final frontier.” The original series ran for three years and permanently changed the definition of science-fiction film.
In his second book,
Star Trek Movie Memories,
William Shatner, who played the character Captain Kirk, talks about the years after the series was dropped and he had gone on to other things. But someone convinced him to attend a
Star Trek
convention. Of that first convention experience, he says “I threw open the stage curtain, stepped out onto the hardwood and stopped dead in my tracks. My jaw dropped. My face went white, my eyes rolled up into my head and I was genuinely stunned. Five thousand people were now staring back at me, all of them cheering, all of them standing atop their chairs, all of them expecting me to be charming, full of absolutely fascinating Trek lore, and unceasingly entertaining. I was horrified.” All of this adulation for an actor! Clearly,
Star Trek
had tapped in to the pent-up dreams of an entire generation that had been denied access to the truth of extraterrestrial contact by repressive, deceptive, and manipulative government policies. But now the dam was broken, if only in fictional film. The people knew better.
Director and writer Stanley Kubrik’s masterpiece,
2001: A Space Odyssey,
came two years after the advent of
Star Trek
and added an entirely new level of complexity to science-fiction film. With beautiful visuals and spare dialogue and dealing with man’s journey up from the animal to the godlike mastery of technology and then to the inner journey to self-mastery, the movie was inspiring, but no one really understood why.
Then came
Star Wars.
I see now that
Star Wars
put all the pieces together. It told of a “long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” when humans had already transcended the shackles of planetary limitation and traveled freely through the cosmos, and it implied that life on Earth here and now was a fall from grace and knowledge. It takes the position that mankind was a creature of the stars long before he even arrived here and implies that we are fighting our way back to that high estate. And, as in
2001,
it reminds us through Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi that the conquest of technology is only the beginning. The important journey is within. And that’s why the audiences cheered.
Star Wars
finally explained and validated the true condition of humanity here on Earth, and at some deep level, they knew it. With that explanation came hope for redemption. Science-fiction film had finally come into its own and lived up to its boundless potential.
PART THREE
Space-Age Science
T
he modern era of extraterrestrial visitation has brought in scientific and technological innovations that never would have been developed so early at the normal pace of scientific progress. It has put us at least fifty years ahead, perhaps much more. Direct secret conferences with alien scientists, reverse engineering of crashed alien craft, and observation and analysis of the performance of the craft have brought about a scientific revolution that is capable of exponentially improving all aspects of life on Earth. While it is clear now that extraterrestrials have been visiting and even living here for thousands of years, it was only when “home-grown” science had reached a high enough level, sometime in the 1930s, that we were able to appreciate and use the alien technologies. Certainly, if a man had found a transistor in a crashed disc in the nineteenth century, he would have marveled at it but would have just thrown it away. Whereas the transistor found in the Roswell craft sparked an explosion in the speed, cooling, and miniaturization technologies for the computer industry.Our engineers and scientists have gained startling new insights into electromagnetism, gravity, quantum mechanics, and the nature of time, so that today we are at the threshold of a totally new era. While some of these innovations, such as the transistor, have been dribbled out to American industry, as revealed by Colonel Philip J. Corso in
The Day After Roswell,
the major developments resulting from alien interaction that could truly revolutionize energy, travel, and biochemistry have been kept under wraps in the classified world. In this section of the book, I seek to reveal what we have been able to elicit and deduce from that world in order to make the point that the secret history of ET contact is also the secret history of ET-engendered fantastic new science and technology. Pioneering rocket scientist Hermann Oberth reportedly said in an interview, “We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped.” When he was asked who helped us, he replied, “The people of other worlds.”The article that became chapter 14, “B-2: The American UFO,” was written in 1996. The theory that the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber secretly used antigravity technology was novel at that time, even though that technology was actually developed in the 1950s by reverse engineering crashed alien craft. The article was based on the investigations of a nonscientist UFO researcher and may not have been taken seriously, even though the arguments are very persuasive. It wasn’t until twelve years later, in 2008, that the theory was given new credence and solid scientific backing by physicist Dr. Paul A. LaViolette in his book
Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion: Tesla, UFOs and Classified Aerospace Technology.
Chapter 13, “Revelations from the ‘Black World,’” is based on an interview with LaViolette on that subject. Taken together, these two chapters should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader that we are indeed using antigravity technology in the B-2 and that it probably was the craft that was the subject of the 1987 book
Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings
by J. Allen Hynek, Phillip J. Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt, as claimed in chapter 14. That means the military has had working antigravity propulsion since 1983. If the technology had been turned over to commercial aviation at that time, we might have been free of dependence on foreign oil about twenty years ago.Also, by 1996, much more exotic propulsion systems were probably working, as discussed in chapter 15, “The Politics of Antigravity.” As quoted in that chapter, NASA made the following admission that year: “Also, theories have emerged from General Relativity about the nature of spacetime that suggest that the light-speed barrier, described by Special Relativity might be circumvented by altering spacetime itself. These ‘wormhole’ and ‘warp drive’ theories have reawakened consideration that the light-speed limit of space travel may be circumvented.” In that chapter, we learn that author and UFO researcher Michael McDonnough has already discovered existing patents for such types of propulsion. It is now speculated that such major breakthroughs could very well have been the result of the direct cooperation of aliens. This belief is based on the fact that, by the early nineties, it had become known that we had been secretly working with extraterrestrials at Area 51, the underground base at Dulce, New Mexico, and very likely at Pine Gap, Australia. And since in 1965 we had twelve astronauts traveling on an alien spaceship to the planet Serpo, it seems highly likely that our hosts would have shared their technical information with us. Because they traveled forty-two light-years in ten months, one would have to suppose that a superluminal (faster than light) system was used.
Chapter 16, “Life in the Milky Way,” introduces the possibility that pulsars are communication signals from other star systems. The convincing argument made by LaViolette that this is probably so raises the question as to whether we have secretly been able to decode these signals and are, in fact, in active communication with other inhabited planets in our galaxy and beyond. Since all other extraterrestrial communication has been kept secret, it would seem very likely that this breakthrough, if it exists, would be in the same category.
Regarding chapter 17, “A Glass City on Mars,” it is known that we have had an outpost on Mars since 1962. However, recent revelations from a number of sources indicate that our presence on Mars is now much greater. Reportedly, we have a large number of residents from Earth in a very large joint human-Martian underground city. Robert O. Dean (see chapter 2) tells us that it is the size of Chicago. A former participant in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Project Pegasus program who claims to have met Martians here on earth, and to have been teleported to Mars, says that the Martians are very much like us and have advanced technology. He also reports that the surface is hostile and dangerous for humans and Martians alike. When we put all this information together, it seems reasonable to conclude that the Martians would have a very large stake in building a glass-enclosed city on the surface. So they may very well have had something to do with the design and construction of Biosphere 2, which has now been declared one of the fifty natural and man-made wonders of the world by Time-Life Books. Certainly, to have achieved that distinction, it seems suspiciously credible that the designers may have had some otherworldly assistance.
The recent discovery, as reported in chapter 18, “The Roswell Miracle Metal,” that the alloy nitinol was developed by the analysis and attempted duplication of the amazing metal found in the crashed Roswell craft is yet another example of alien-influenced American technology.

Revelations from the “Black World”
An article published in the
New York Times
science section on April 1, 2008, titled “Inside the Black Budget,” reviews a book by author Trevor Paglen with the unwieldy but intriguing title
I Could Tell You but Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed by Me
. Paglen is an artist and photographer working on his Ph.D. in geography at the University of California, Berkeley. The book is a fascinating glimpse inside the military-industrial “black world” by means of the revelations provided by seventy-five photos of the descriptive and telling shoulder patches on the uniforms worn by insiders involved in black technology and weapons deployment. According to the
Times
article, Paglen said he unearthed the patches “by touring bases, noting what personnel wore, joining alumni associations, interviewing active and former team members, talking to base historians and filing requests under the Freedom of Information Act.” The patches, many with mottos of ghoulish and macho braggadocio, clearly suggest that the subworld of American weaponry is space-oriented and uses technology far beyond anything currently imaginable. The article goes on to say that the classified budget, “concealed from the public in all but outline,” doubled during the Bush years and is now at about $32 billion. Others have given estimates far higher.
Several books and websites have appeared recently that give reports by insiders about what sort of incredible technological advances have been developed in the black world. Most of these cite anecdotal evidence and give spare details about the underlying science. However, the recent book by Dr. Paul A. LaViolette,
Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion: Tesla, UFOs and Classified Aerospace Technology,
offers complete coverage, including a history of the secret development of antigravity craft and a comprehensive, detailed discussion of the scientific basis of antigravity technology.
LaViolette is a physicist with a BA from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD from Portland State University, but he has evolved into a multidisciplinary authority by reason of his ever-expanding research in astronomy, cosmology, metaphysics, mythology, archaeology, and aeronautics, and his efforts to bring these widely diverse studies into a unified view through some very surprising hypotheses and discoveries. See chapter 16 for a discussion of his writings on astronomy and cosmology.
THE POST-NEWTONIAN ERA
Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion
is the first book to penetrate the black world of the military-industrial complex by explaining the “Buck Rogers” scientific innovations being developed and used in that world. It could only have been written by an iconoclastic physicist like LaViolette, who was able to gather up and make sense of the clues that dribbled out of the secret scientific inner sanctum and put them together brilliantly to present a coherent picture. Certainly it could also have been written by any one of the aeronautics scientists who have been working at a high theoretical level inside the black realm. But since they have all been sworn to inviolable secrecy under threat of “losing their firstborn,” that will never happen. However, an outsider like LaViolette, who has never been involved in that world, is under no such restriction.
Prior to putting these clues together in his book, LaViolette first establishes the theoretical foundation of electrogravitics by devoting the early part of the book to the discoveries and experiments of T. Townsend Brown, who was the single greatest pioneer in electrogravitics research and development. In this way, the secrets LaViolette then enumerates that were elicited from the black world become immediately understandable as he fits them into Brown’s experimental framework. Consequently, what emerges is a perhaps fuzzy but comprehensible picture of how the military has been using antigravity technology. But this picture becomes crystal clear when LaViolette reveals the top-secret technological details of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
While the scientific explanations given by LaViolette in the book are perhaps somewhat abstruse for the lay reader, they deliver a level of proof that could never be provided by a journalist or even by a conventional physicist. As one plows through the science, the conviction grows that LaViolette has, although through somewhat dense scientific logic, nevertheless given conclusive evidence of these sensational technological developments in the same way that a skilled attorney leads jurors to an inescapable conclusion by bombarding them with incontrovertible fact after fact. At the end, the reader realizes that the world he or she believed in has effectively been demolished, and the “real world” is as different from the old as the Copernican era was from the Ptolemaic. To now learn that we have mastered a means of aircraft propulsion that is based on new post-Newtonian physics, that requires no fuel and can accomplish superluminal (faster than light) velocities that open the pathways to the stars, is no less shattering than suddenly discovering that the earth actually revolves around the sun after believing for thousands of years that it was stationary!
Thomas Townsend Brown was born in 1905 in Zanesville, Ohio. From an early age, he dreamed of space travel and experimented with devices that displayed exotic propulsion. He discovered the electrogravitic effect while in high school, when he noticed that a high-voltage vacuum tube moved slightly whenever the power was turned on. This motivated him to construct something he called a “gravitator.” This was a wooden box, two feet long and four inches square, containing alternating conductive plates of lead and insulating dialectric sheets. When charged with one hundred and fifty thousand volts of electricity, the gravitator exhibited a thrust in the direction of the positive end. When oriented on end with the positive end up, it lost weight. Brown took out a patent on the gravitator in 1922, when he was just seventeen years old. And so was born the age of antigravity.

In later experimentation, it turned out that the greater the insulating capacity of the dialectric, the more electric charge the device could contain, and consequently the greater the thrust. Dialectric capacity is rated in terms of a value referred to as “k.” If the k value could be made high enough by using exotic materials, the device could be launched at great acceleration. Brown suspended two gravitators from a rotating arm, with both positive poles pointing in the same direction. When charged with between seventy-five thousand and three hundred thousand volts, the rotating arm revolved in the direction of the positive poles. Essentially, this was a primitive electrogravitic motor. Brown attended the California Institute of Technology and then transferred to Denison University in Granville, Ohio. At Denison, he worked with Dr. Paul A. Biefeld, a physics professor interested in dialectrics. As a result of this collaboration, the electrogravitic phenomenon became known as the Biefeld-Brown effect.
SECRET SCIENCE
LaViolette devotes three chapters of the book to Brown’s career and his work. Of great interest here is the fact that in 1933 Brown was apparently recruited into a top-secret international intelligence network, called the Caroline Group, by U.S. businessman Eldridge Johnston and British master spy William S. Stephenson (the man called “Intrepid”). This probably explains why so many doors were opened for him to do government-sponsored research and development throughout his career, and it is clearly the reason he was chosen to participate in the famous Philadelphia Experiment in October 1943, along with such great lights of science as Albert Einstein, Vannevar Bush, John von Neumann, and Nikola Tesla. Is it perhaps coincidental that the naval vessel that was selected for the experiment was the USS
Eldridge,
a ship with the same unusual name as his intelligence recruiter, Eldridge Johnston? Brown joined the navy as an officer after Pearl Harbor, and in the summer of 1942 he was assigned to work at the Atlantic Fleet Radar School in Philadelphia, where he remained until the end of 1943, which places him there at the time of the experiment.
The extent of Brown’s involvement in the Philadelphia Experiment is not clear. According to William Moore and Charles Berlitz in their book
The Philadelphia Experiment,
Brown was very much involved. They deduced that from the fact that he did not contradict the account of his participation in the book when given the opportunity. On the other hand, Gerry Vassilatos, in his book
Lost Science,
says that Brown bowed out prior to the test on the
Eldridge.
In any case, Brown had a nervous breakdown two months later and retired from the navy in December 1943 on the advice of a team of naval physicians. This would tend to indicate that Brown was severely rattled by the well-known horrific results of the experiment, in which sailors were embedded in the hull of the ship.
After the war Brown continued his electrogravitic work, financed by his own organization, the Townsend Brown Foundation. He continually improved his results and refined the scientific underpinnings of the effects. Then, in 1953, in an effort to obtain government funding for his experiments, he felt confident enough of his results to propose to the navy that they initiate a ten-year project to develop a manned flying saucer using electrogravitic propulsion with a Mach 3 capability, to be used as an interceptor. He envisioned large discs operating at five million volts that could reach a velocity of 1,800 miles per hour in the upper atmosphere. This proposal became known as Project Winterhaven. Perhaps the most revolutionary and important aspect of the Winterhaven document was Brown’s proposal for “flame-jet” electrostatic generators. These would be modifications to the jet engines to electrify the exhaust stream, turning the engines into powerful electrohydrodynamic generators to provide the extremely high voltages needed for high-speed electrogravitic thrust. Brown’s goal was not military supremacy. He hoped that government funding would hasten the use of electrogravitic propulsion for civilian transportation.
The navy showed no interest, probably because it already had top-secret development programs under way that were actually technologically more advanced. By 1953, the military had been reverse engineering several crashed alien discs for six years, and Area 51 had been in existence for two years. And if numerous whistle-blower reports are to be believed, military officials had been actually communicating with an alien crash survivor. Apparently, at that point, Brown no longer had access to the top-secret world, probably because of his breakdown and resignation from the navy. But it is known that Brown continued to consult to aerospace companies connected to secret military development until his retirement in the 1970s.
THE ANTIGRAVITY BOMBER
In chapter 5 of
The Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion,
titled “The U.S. Antigravity Squadron,” LaViolette tells us that an article in the March 1992 issue of
Aviation Week Magazine
“made the surprising disclosure that the B-2 electrostatically charges its exhaust stream and the leading edges of its winglike body.” In other words, the B-2 stealth bomber uses electrogravitic propulsion. The magazine obtained the information from a group of renegade West Coast scientists and engineers who broke the code of silence and literally risked their lives by making the disclosure.
The B-2 contract was awarded to Northrop Aviation in 1981. Northrop had been experimenting with the electrification of leading wings since 1968, when their scientists reported that their results showed that “when high-voltage DC is applied to a wing-shaped structure subjected to supersonic flow, seemingly new ‘electro-aerodynamic’ qualities appear.” Brown’s influence on the Northrop work is evident. From what is known about the B-2’s technology and flight characteristics, LaViolette extrapolates the probable principles of its design and makes a very convincing case that the B-2 incorporates much of Brown’s research and development. This is most apparent in the four GE-100 jet engines, which seem to incorporate Brown’s “flame-jet” principles. LaViolette says, “The B-2, then, may be the first military antigravity vehicle to be openly displayed to the public! It may be the final realization of the kind of craft that Brown had proposed in Project Winterhaven and that the 1956 Aviation Studies report had disclosed was beginning to be developed by the military in late 1954. Consequently, the designation ‘B-2’ might more appropriately stand for Biefeld-Brown effect.” LaViolette says that in 1997, a three-star general told retired Air Force Colonel Donald Ware that “the new Lockheed-Martin space shuttle and the B-2 both have electrogravitic systems on board . . . Thus, after taking off conventionally, the B-2 can switch to antigravity mode, and, I have heard, fly around the world without refueling.”
