Mushroom Clouds: Coming To A Town Near You? Gary S. Bekkum March 19, 2006 Loose nukes and STAR GATE 9/11. Warp drives and wormholes. Vacuum reaction weapons. Skinwalkers and more. Starstream Research examines how the U.S. Government intends to leap beyond science fiction on a quest for the ultimate weapons. Thirty four years and millions of dollars later, CIA documents reveal the amazing success and dismal failures of STAR GATE, the formerly top secret intelligence agency programs used to "remote view" information that couldn't be accessed by any normal means of collection. Starstream Research has uncovered new files strongly suggesting that America's psychic intelligence agents were picking up information warning of the rise of Usama bin Ladin and the devastating attacks of September 11, 2001. The latest finds include a CIA released DIA document that identifies "Project 911" and drawings that strongly resemble Usama bin Ladin before and after the 9/11 attacks. You can view some of the original documents at the Starstream Research web site. The STAR GATE files pointing to the 9/11 events were only the beginning. According to British author and filmmaker Jon Ronson, following the 9/11 attacks, psychic Uri Geller was reactivated into the ranks of intelligence agency psychic spies. The 'spooky' spooks are likely used to track the movement of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. Ronson claims that Uri Geller was reticent to speak of his work with the American CIA, but broke down and revealed one interesting tidbit of information. Ronson claims that Uri told him that the name of the man who reactivated his mental powers for intelligence was called Ron. Based on information provided to us by various sources, we strongly suspect that Ron is a former high ranking CIA agency analyst, previously tasked to monitor technology developments in China. The big question remains: which intelligence agencies might be involved in the latest version of a psychic black ops antiterrorist unit? MASINT (Measurement and Signatures Intelligence) is a likely candidate, but our present understanding is that Ron is working for John Negroponte at the Department of National Intelligence. Rumors persist that America's DIA trained psychic intelligence sources are viewing mushroom clouds over numerous cities in the homeland. Taken in tandem with the constant rumors of loose nukes, it appears that the psychic spies may have been reactivated, at least in part, by the man said to have had a hand in shutting down the original DIA STAR GATE psychic spy program. All in all it would seem that there is something about space, time and beyond that we don't understand. Researchers have discovered mirror neurons that empathetically fire in your brain when you are watching someone else get poked by a needle, for example. Somehow the neurons in a remote viewer must fire empathetically for information about distant events, removed from ordinary sensory detection. Last year the Air Force received a great deal of flak from the press about a research paper they commissioned to examine the use of teleportation for military purposes. Apparently the journalists didn't realize that quantum teleportation has been an active area of mainstream research, ever since it was discovered by a team at IBM in the 1990's. MIT Professor Seth Lloyd has been researching the use of quantum teleportation for communication networks. Lloyd's support includes DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Recently he also developed an interest in quantum gravity, the elusive theory that would unite Einstein's theory of bending space and time with the foundation stone of all modern electronics and atomic engineering: the quantum theory. In the mid 1990's, Dr. Stuart Hameroff at the University of Arizona, and Oxford's Sir Roger Penrose proposed that quantum processes might be involved in the emergence of human consciousness. Penrose is well known for his work in mathematics and the physics of black holes. The idea of creating a synthesis of quantum teleportation and brain function quickly followed as a theory of telepathy. In the Penrose-Hameroff theory, the shape of switch-like structures in the brain are controlled by the location of single electrons, the quantum of electric charge, and these structures resemble quantum computing circuits. Seth Lloyd's theory of quantum gravity is based on quantum computing circuits. In other words, Lloyd believes that spacetime is fundamentally a computational quantum process. Is this beginning to sound a little bit like "The Matrix?" It should. The STAR GATE legacy stands as evidence that the military will make operational use of anything appearing to offer a technical advantage, whether or not there is scientific support for the technology. One unnamed high level source has confirmed that paranormal data was discussed by members of an elite government committee. Strange events investigated by Las Vegas businessman Bob Bigelow's National Institute of Discovery Science (NIDS) have been the topic of discussion between members at DIA sponsored meetings on the threats of emerging technologies. Dr. Eric Davis, author of the highly controversial report on teleportation commissioned by the U.S. Air Force, has been very forthcoming answering questions about observations of strange creatures and other anomalous phenomena made by NIDS personnel at Bigelow's Skinwalker Ranch. The Skinwalker is a shape shifting being said to haunt this remote part of Utah near Salt Lake City. Strange creatures, strange objects, floating black triangles, animal mutilations, disintegrated dogs, telepathic messages -- a smorgasbord of every strange and imaginable terror has been served to those unfortunates spending any period of time at the ranch. The strangeness is reported in "Hunt for the Skinwalker," by former NIDS staff scientist Colm A. Kelleher, and veteran UFO reporter George Knapp. In the Air Force teleportation study Davis examines potential scientific explanations for the weird phenomena, including spacetime wormholes, teleportation, and manipulation of the quantum vacuum. If the STAR GATE program was any measure of the interest displayed by the DIA in this kind of weirdness, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that the Utah ranch has been the subject of at least a few confidential memos for the record. Perhaps the DIA would like to 'read in' a Skinwalker or two as part of their secret paranormal war on terror.

Q&A With Dr. Eric Davis By Tim Ventura & Eric Davis, PhD February 4th, 2005 Dr. Eric Davis is a physicist specializing in Breakthrough Propulsion & Power Physics and Astrophysics at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin/EarthTech International, Inc. He's agreed to speak with us about his past experiences in breakthrough physics research, as well as his current leadership role at the STAIF Conference. AAG: First things first: you just started a new job at Earthtech International working with doctors Hal Puthoff & Michael Ibison. Tell us a bit about how things are going, and some of the projects that you've taken on with their team? ED: It's actually the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, and EarthTech International, Inc. is the corporate parent. Work is going really very good. We are exploring fundamental questions concerning the relationship of the quantum ZPE to gravity, inertia and particle mass, and the development of schemes to effectively tap the ZPE for power generation, etc. We are also advancing theoretical work on Hal's Polarizable-Vacuum Representation of General Relativity in order to develop toy models for understanding general relativity-related FTL propulsion schemes (such as warp drives and traversable wormholes), and how we might find clues from the model to engineer these in the lab, etc. In that connection, Hal Puthoff, Claudio Maccone (Italian physicist who recently retired from Alenia Spazio) and myself published a new paper on this effort, which will appear in the March 2005 issue (vol. 37, no. 3) of the peer-reviewed scholarly physics journal "General Relativity and Gravitation." In the paper we analyzed Levi-Civita's artificial gravity spacetime metric in terms of Hal's PV-GR model and developed the equations showing how either an electric field or a magnetic field will alter the vacuum index of refraction and subsequently modify the speed of light in the artifically-induced gravitational field region. Also, EarthTech/IASA serves as a clearing house for evaluating and testing the numerous alternative power generation inventions (such as fuel cells, ZPE, cold fusion, etc.) that are brought to us from all over by maverick inventors. One can go to our website http://www.earthtech.org and see the papers and experiments posted there. AAG: From what I understand, the main research area for Earthtech hasn't been space-science -- hasn't it been focused on Zero Point Energy? Can you tell us a bit about how ZPE research is coming along, and if we'll see any real applications for this in the next few years? ED: I answered most of this in my response above. I cannot comment on specific proprietary research, but I can say there are ideas we are looking into for the theoretical development and experimental implementation of tapping ZPE for power generation. All of this is in the works, so there is nothing I can report on. AAG: You've done some remarkable speculative physics research, and I'm wondering how your life experience & training led you into this type of work. ED: Actually, I was led to this type of work by the pioneering research and popular papers/books/articles published by Dr. Robert L. Forward and his colleagues during the 1970s, which ignited an intense spark within me that fostered my childhood dream of someday being able to fly to the stars on a warp-drive starship, and being one of the guys to invent the physics. I was also a huge fan of the TV shows Star Trek, Lost In Space and The Outer Limits when I was a kid (and I still am a fan!!). In addition, the Dept. of Defense and the MacArthur Foundation produced (via film producers Robert Emenegger and Allan Sandler) a 1974 TV documentary that strongly influencedme: UFOs: Past, Present & Future, which was a Golden Globe nominee for best documentary production in 1975, and it was later updated and re-released in1979 as UFOs: It Has Begun. I also watched all the ground-breaking classic science fiction movies of the 20th century, among my favorites are: The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, the Star Wars movies, the Star Trek movies, the Alien movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET: The Extraterrestrial, etc. Starting in middle school I read all the Science News and Scientific American magazines; and I read lots of science fiction novels written by Isaac Asimov, James Blish, Arthur C. Clark, H. G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, Frank Herbert, and Larry Niven. I also read scientific and investigative journalism books written by Carl Sagan, Jacques Vallee, Carl Sagan and Thornton Page, Howard Blum, Paul Davies, Robert Emenegger, John Fuller, Donald Keyhoe, Allen Hynek, Brad Steiger, etc. Other books I read were a variety of physics and physics history books; most pertaining to particle physics and unified field theories, Einstein's relativity theories, quantum theories, and space exploration. All of this plus the real-world R&D work being done in the 70s-80s on future flight propulsion physics by Hughes Research Lab (then in Malibu, CA), the Air Force, NASA, Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas, etc. ignited that huge spark within me. Another much later turning point for me (that turned on that inner spark even higher) was when I read Robert Forward's 1988 book "Future Magic" while in grad school. In that book Bob wrote about his conceptual physics explaining telepathy, dousing, consciousness, and the spirits of deceased people. That was surprising considering that the topic of the book had to do with FTL physics, space and time warps, antimatter rockets, etc. What a blast! And, if you don't already know this, Bob was Joseph Weber's Ph.D. grad student in the 1960s at the University of Maryland, where they did pioneering research developing gravity wave detectors. Bob's first prototype detector is now in the Smithsonian Institute Museum in Washington DC. Bob was a winner of the annual international general relativity physics essay competition, was awarded a Hughes Corporation graduate student fellowship to do gravity research with Weber, published numerous technical papers and was awared patents, and saw many of his gravity detection sensors launched on Air Force satellites. His winning essay was about his discovery of antigravity force solutions in Einstein's general relativity theory. I pointed out this work (in connection with my upcoming Advanced Propulsion Study for the Air Force) in a January 2004 briefing to the Air Force Research Lab. Anyway, I first met Robert Forward, Robert Bussard, Alan C. Holt, Dave Froning and others at the annual AIAA Joint Propulsion Conference in Las Vegas during the summer of 1979. I had just finished high school then. UFOs and their hypothetical propulsion physics, warp drives, fusion ramjets, antimatter rockets, photon and laser rockets, etc. were all the rage among the large mainstream aerospace and military defense corporations, U.S. military and NASA physicists and engineers of the time. The AIAA's annual joint propulsion conferences had "Future Flight" sessions where research into these topics were presented as serious technical papers. That tradition continues today, more or less, in the guise of the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics technical paper sessions and the STAIF's Near and Far Term Propulsion Concepts sessions. I established a correspondence relationship with Bob Forward and Alan Holt that went on (off and on) for the first 5 years while I was in college and going on to grad school. But my correspondences and personal face-to-face interactions became more steady and continued for 20 years thereafter. All told, I have known these individuals for 26 years. Although, Bob Forward died from an inoperable brain tumor in Fall 2001, and this was awful for everyone who knew him. Bob Forward began mentoring me in the area of breakthrough propulsion and power physics (a.k.a. BPP) by first introducing me to all of his Hughes/Air Force research studies on antimatter physics, antimatter rocket propulsion, etc. His mentoring evolved to include his research into exploiting the quantum vacuum zero-point energies/fluctuations, Einstein general relativity FTL schemes leading to warp drives and traversable wormholes, exploring and exploiting psychic phenomena, exploring "new physics", exploring the known anomalies (or finding new ones) in current theoretical and experimental physics to find potential breakthrought propulsion and power. Bob sent me copies of all his reports and the reports of other physicists/engineers he worked with, and he put me on his Mirror Matter Newsletter membership, etc. He sent me everything he published that was of relevance to breakthrough propulsion physics (BPP). When I started grad school Bob told me the bad news that there were no graduate Ph.D. degree programs in this field, so I would have to get a Ph.D. in some discipline of physics I liked and get a job in industry if I wanted to pursue this area professionally as a full-time career. But he said even then that industry and government was not fully funding this area of research for the long-term. In 1989 I met with Bob at an AIAA conference and told him I had turned in my Ph.D. dissertation and was waiting for my doctoral oral defense to be scheduled, and that I expected to soon be graduated and available for employment. He gave me more bad news. There were no industry jobs left where I could do BPP research because of corporate retrenchment across the U.S. due to the beginning recession and the fall of the Berlin Wall and communism in Russia created a move to cut down the DoD budget. So my potential career got derailed. I couldn't do postdoc work in my astrophysics discipline because that too was being affected by decisions in the first Bush Administration to cut down NASA spending on space exploration, of which I was a part during my graduate work. With space science research funding being cut, there were no forseeable postdoc positions available in areas I was experienced to work in. So I had to resort to teaching jobs at community colleges and universities to get by. In the mid-1990s I ended up traveling around Asia while working for the U.S. Air Force under contract through the University of Maryland. After my stint in Asia with the AF, I was recruited for a new job in Las Vegas working as a research physicist at the National Inst. for Discovery Science. It is there where I was first introduced to Dr. Hal Puthoff who served on the NIDS Science Advisory Board. However, it was because of my association with Bob Forward that I first became aware of Hal's scholarly physics journal publications on ZPE research while I was in grad school since Bob was following Hal's work and reported on it in one of his later Air Force studies. Before I finished grad school, I got on the bandwagon of the 1985-89 research done and papers published by Kip Thorne and his students on traversable wormholes and time machines. In the 1990s when I was in S. Korea working for the Air Force and U.S. Forces Korea, I continued my research into that subject and later linked up with a black hole astrophysicist at Kunsan National University. Then things in the physics community really began to heat up when Paul J. Nahin's book "Time Machines", Matt Visser's book "Lorentzian Wormholes" and Kip Thorne's book "Black Holes & Time Warps" were published. These showed that wormholes, space warps and time machines had become a mainstream cottage industry of research in physics. I began to hope that the breathrough propulsion physics field would then take off and get the serious long-term funding it deserved. In 1997 the NASA-LeRC (now known as the John Glenn Research Center) and NASA-JPL began the official BPP program following the publication of these books, and Hal was invited by the program manager at NASA-LeRC (Marc Millis) to join the effort. Hal liked my preliminary work on traversable wormholes because I showed him that aspects of the quantum vacuum zero-point energy can provide the special mass-energy field needed to generate a space warp or traversable wormhole. So he and Marc Millis brought me into the NASA BPP program. Bob Forward, Al Holt, Frank Mead (Advanced Concepts Office at AFRL, Edwards AFB, CA), and Dave Froning were also among those involved. So from 1997 to the present Hal and I and our colleagues have been working together on breakthrough propulsion physics in one form or another. It was during my early years at NIDS that Hal took over as my BPP mentor because Bob Forward's involvement in the BPP field was winding down as he was shifting his interests into other directions like writing science fiction novels, getting his space tethers business off the ground, and getting ready for full retirement. Even though the NASA BPP program ended up losing funding, Hal and I continue to work together on our favorite BPP topics, and we also continue to collaborate with Frank Mead, Al Holt, Dave Froning, and others who are in our circle. I was laid-off from my job at NIDS in Spring 2002 along with the other principal staff and science advisory board members, so I went into business for myself as a contractor/consultant to the Air Force Research Lab's Advanced Concepts Office (working for Dr. Frank Mead) at Edwards AFB, CA. In the summer of 2001 Frank Mead approached me to do advanced concepts contract work for him because Bob Forward was no longer available to do BPP research studies for AFRL. So in the fall of 2001 I formed my company Warp Drive Metrics (but did not register it as a business in Las Vegas). My first AFRL contract (the Teleportation Physics Study) began in February 2002, four months before I learned that Bigelow was going to begin the massive lay-offs at NIDS. My second AFRL contract (Ball Lightning Study) begin in April 2002 and ended January 2003, and that report was published in May 2003. I still have two other contracts that I completed, and publication of those contract reports is pending. I'm wrapping up a fifth contract now, but it is an editorial re-write of someone else's final report. AFRL advanced concepts program funding was severely cut in FY04 because of major reshuffling of Air Force research priorities, so I was forced to find other employment. Last fall I was offered, and I accepted, a job offer to work for Hal at EarthTech Int'l/IASA. I moved to Austin, TX last November to start my new job. AAG: A few months ago, the Air Force commissioned you to write a report on teleportation. I've read it cover to cover, and it looks like a blueprint for a real-life StarGate technology. Can you tell us anything about your findings? ED: The Teleportation Physics Study contract was officially commissioned in February 2002. It ended in July 2003, and the report was finally published by the Air Force in Aug. 2004. It is physically possible, in principle (based on Einstein's general relativity theory and also on a toy model for FTL flight based on Hal's Polarizable-Vacuum Representation of General Relativity), to build a traversable wormhole (in the form of a stargate). But we have a long way to go before we can get a handle on the technology for creating the negative energy density required to hold open and stabilize such a thing. We have good technical ideas on how to do this, but more work needs to be done to shore up those ideas and get a feel for the numbers that will be involved on an experimental level, and we need to examine how to best demonstrate a wormhole in the lab once we do get a handle on negative energy generation. The latest published paper by Matt Visser and his colleagues proved that one can significantly relax the demand for a large amount of negative energy density, such that we can now consider arbitrarily (near-zero) small amounts for the creation of a traversable wormhole. That means the demand on any particular technology to produce a negative energy density field can be dramatically reduced to workable laboratory scale. There is now an opening for us to do a lab demonstration once we develop a negative energy generation system that can produce a quantifiable amount of negative energy in a confined way. Quantum teleportation will continue to evolve. The negative effects of decoherence upon the entanglement process is now becoming well understood and brought under control, so that the fidelity of teleporting the quantum states of large samples of atomic matter and photons has improved and will continue to do so. The science will evolve to demonstrate the teleportation of molecular states and later on large samples of molecules will have their states successfully teleported. Other quantum teleportation breakthroughs will continue to be announced, and these will involve teleporting other features and facets of matter and information that we have yet to fathom. It will become possible in the future to forsee dabbling in the quantum teleportation of live beings and bulk inanimate matter (like cargo). But this will involve the destruction of their physical quantum states in order to teleport those states to another "glom" of matter, thus destroying the originals. This will create difficult ethical questions that will have to be considered. AAG: Next, I wanted to ask about the feedback you received from the teleportation study. I'm sure that the Air Force gets tons of fan-mail asking about when they're going to build something like we've seen in StarGate SG-1, and I'm wondering if it made them nervous to see a speculative proposal for the same idea coming across their desk. Did they take it well? ED: The Air Force doesn't know what it does because it's such a large bureaucracy. The teleportation study only came to the attention of commanders at WPAFB, the Pentagon, and members of Congress when the media bruhaha broke out. The Air Force took it all very well in the end, though. However, the AF was caught off-guard and surprised by the unexpected outburst of media attention and the accompanying outcry that came from the professional political, national security and scientific agitators in society. But in the end, the AF supported the study because it had to, because it is required to (see below for specifics on this). What these agitators and self-appointed pundits don't understand about the federal government is that there are major policy and statutory requirements that all U.S. military research labs must explore, investigate, and conduct out-of-the-box research in areas not usually considered mainstream in order to uncover all possibilities for expanding the envelope of presently known science and/or to discover new science in support of future military needs and missions. This is why the AFRL's Advanced Concepts Office at Edwards AFB commissioned the teleportation physics study. DARPA's R&D mandate is another example of these policy/statutory regulations. AAG: Speaking of TV, since you've done the study, if Hollywood called you up to consult for the TV show, would you give it any thought? ED: Sure! Many qualified scientists already do this. NASA has personnel who consult to the film/TV studios on productions related to spaceflight, space science fiction, etc. AAG: You have a big event coming up in February -- it's once again time for the annual STAIF conference, and you're on the panel of scientific experts who review submitted papers. Can you give us a bit of background about the STAIF conference, as well as your participation in it? ED: I'm presenting an invited oral paper on the wormhole-stargate aspect of teleportation, which is based on the AFRL study. STAIF is the Space Technologies & Applications International Forum that is annually hosted/sponsored by the Univ. of New Mexico's Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies in Albuquerque. The symposium is comprised of a number of different technical conferences that have an emphasis on space technology development. The part I am involved with is the space nuclear power and propulsion conference which is the venue for the Future Frontiers sessions. These are where the BPP related papers will be presented. The sessions include papers on detecting and harnessing high frequency gravity waves for propulsion, wormholes, warp drives, anomalies known in present theories and experiments in physics from which we might derive some kind of BPP technology, FTL communications, other FTL flight concepts, antimatter rockets, advanced antimatter-augmented nuclear fusion rockets, ZPE-based space drives, different proposals for propellantless propulsion, antigravity, gravity/inertia modification theories and experiments, etc. The talks are all quite diverse and comprehensive. The papers that get presented as talks at the symposium and published in the proceedings (published by the American Inst. of Physics Press) are all peer-reviewed for quality and efficacy. Our Future Frontiers paper review panels strive to include scientifically sound (credible!) AND cutting-edge non-mainstream concepts, while making sure to weed out the pathological crackpot elements that tend to infest the BPP and alternative energies/alternative physics fields. AAG: The Gerstenstein Effect is one STAIF proposal that caught my eye -- Gary Stephenson has been suggesting it as one possible explanation for these gravitational force-beam experiments that we've been hearing about. Any comments on this effect, and whether it's worth building an experiment to test? ED: Exactly! And it is for this reason that I support such experimental work on this topic. It has only been possible to implement this kind of experiment in recent years because technology caught up with the theory, which was originally published in the 1960s. AAG: We've talked a bit about Dr. Ning Li in the past -- she sent me an email in 2003 indicating 11-kilowatts of output effect, and apparently nobody's heard from her since then. I haven't been able to make heads or tails of this, but from what I gather she's completely disappeared. Do you think this means she's onto something big? ED: No, not really. It might mean she was unable to measure any effect from the device she tested for the Army, and so has been forced to find other financial support to stay in business. The terms of her Army contract were clear, she was to produce a report stating in the positive or negative on the experimental efficacy of her A/C gravity theory. Hal and I saw her at the May 2003 MITRE Corp.'s Int'l HFGW Conference, and she reported in her talk that the A/C gravity field at a Cu nucleus arising from the magnetic dipole effect is ~ 10^-2 milli-gees (which translates to ~ 10^-4 m/s^2 acceleration effect). AAG: What are some of the benefits associated with presenting an idea at STAIF, and how can people learn more about it? ED: The purpose of STAIF is to communicate the results of recent engineering and scientific research to all other aerospace, nuclear power and propulsion workers, to communicate the results of work that is of relevance to these fields. One can go to the STAIF website and find out more about them. AAG: Time for the Final Question: What are your plans for future research? ED: Wormholes, warp drives, ZPE power production, generating negative energy, laboratory demonstration, alternative physics and cosmology, etc. My plans, as are those of the staff at IASA, are quite ecclectic and theoretically very rich and very deep. Special Thanks: We'd like to express special thanks to Dr. Eric Davis for his time in putting together responses to these questions. He's been in last-minute preparations for STAIF 2005, and the time that he spent answering our interview questions was precious indeed! --Tim Ventura, American Antigravity.Com
