Very short!<br><br>But what is interesting is that in the 50's, magnetism was seen as the propulsive force behind UFO's. <br><br>The famous Wilber Smith memo comes to mind and, evidently, more pages of that memo uncovered. It is a memo involving the Canadian investigation of UFO's called...Project Magnet:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Draft Of Top Secret UFO Memo Now Public<br><br>Through the diligent research efforts of York University researcher Nick Balaskas, a draft of the original "Project Magnet" Top Secret Memo has been recovered from the Archives at the University of Ottawa. It adds important information to the Wilbert Smith UFO research efforts for the Canadian government.<br><br>The Balaskas discovery not only backs up the contents of what was found in the Project Magnet Top Secret document declassified by the Canadian government in 1979, it adds two new pages to the three researchers were already aware of.<br><br>Wilbert Smith, Senior Radio Engineer in the Canadian Department of Transport, wrote the original Top Secret memo to his superiors in November 1952. The memo was the beginning of the Canadian government official program (Project Magnet) to investigate flying saucers. Wilbert Smith headed up that investigation from December 1950 to August 1954.<br><br>The existence of the Top Secret draft in the Wilbert Smith UFO files is part of the reason that the Canadian government was forced to declassify the Top Secret Memo held in their files.<br><br>Wilbert Smith left the draft in the files to give future researchers the truth of what had actually happened in the early days of government investigation into flying saucers. Dying of cancer, Smith made arrangement with his wife to hide the files so they would survive his death. "They will be coming to recover them," he told his wife Murl.<br><br>As Smith predicted, the Canadians, Americans, and Soviets approached Mrs. Smith requesting the files for research purposes. Mrs. Smith told all callers she no longer had the files. After a number of break-ins that might have been linked to the search for the files, the files were passed on to Arthur Bray, a local Ottawa researcher, who held them quietly for over two decades.<br><br>Bray was aware of the Top Secret memo draft, but was unable to say anything because the copy in the Smith files was still marked Top Secret. Bray held a Navy security clearance and was forced to remain quiet.<br><br>Bray, aware of what was in the files, did however lead the charge to force the government to release all the "Project Magnet" files held by the government. He wrote letters to government ministers and officials telling them where the files would be found.<br><br>The "Project Magnet" Top Secret memo is the key document in the large Smith collection of UFO material, now stored in the archives at the University of Ottawa. In the memo, Smith outlined five key items about flying saucers that he had discovered while in discussions with top U.S. officials working on the flying saucer problem. These were:<br><br> 1) The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher than even the H-bomb.<br><br> 2) Flying saucers exist.<br><br> 3) Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Vannevar Bush.<br><br> 4) The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be of tremendous significance.<br><br> 5) The United States authorities are investigating along quite a number of lines, which might possibly be related to the saucers such as mental phenomena.<br><br>The two newly discovered pages of the November 1952 memo are titled "Project Magnet" and are classified in the draft as "Secret." The new pages read as follows:<br><br>Purpose<br><br>This project is for the purpose of studying magnetic phenomena, particularly those phenomena resulting from unusual boundary conditions in the basic electromagnetic field. There is reason to believe their discovery will open up a new and useful technology.<br><br>Organization<br><br>The initial organization shall be as small as practical and composed of personnel who are used to working together, including so far as possible a variety of research abilities. Laboratory facilities are to be drawn from existing facilities so far as possible. Overall responsibility for the project shall rest with the engineer-in-charge, who shall delegate such responsibility to subordinates as maybe required to carry out the project.<br><br>Program<br><br>The initial program shall include the following avenues of investigations, to which others may be added from time top time as may appear expedient.<br><br> 1. Theoretical study of electromagnetic radiation assuming boundary conditions different from those upon which the conventional theory was developed.<br><br> 2. Laboratory study of mechanical forces associated with electron drift and electric currents in metallic masses.<br><br> 3. Theoretical and laboratory study of magnetic domain resonance conditions in magnetic materials.<br><br> 4. Investigation of the propagation of magnetic wave motion in magnetic materials.<br><br> 5. Investigate the possibility of producing, an effect, a "sink" in a magnetic field.<br><br> 6. Investigate the possibility of producing, in effect, single isolated magnetic poles.<br><br> 7. Investigate the effects of a magnetic field on a rotating curviplaner metallic object.<br><br>Coordination<br><br>Full coordination is to be maintained, within security regulations, with other groups working on a parallel or associated problems. Project reports will be available on a classified basis to suitably accredited groups of individuals.<br><br>Security<br><br>As in the case with most fields of research, it is impossible to assess the results in advance, which might be obtained through this project. However, there exist certain suspicions that the lesser-known and little explored aspects of magnetism may hold the key to a new and significant technology. Consequently, it is intended to classify this work in it entirety until such time as it can be assessed for its impact on our civilization.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.presidentialufo.com/top_secret_draft.htm">www.presidentialufo.com/t..._draft.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Copies of the actual memo are on the site.<br><br><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Looking up Heim himself...wow! The guy lost his eyes AND his hearing AND both hands in an accident, but still kept working! <br><br>The science is over my head but this all brings up an interesting point or two.<br><br>First, I've always completely dismissed the "THEY are too far away to visit US, given speed of light restrictions etc." Since, for many years scientists have entertained theoretical ways of breaking the light speed barrier, it suggested to me that if we can theorize about it while still putting folks in orbit with unwieldy thrust propulsion, surely a civilization not THAT far advanced over ours will have made progress.<br><br>Secondly, I had never heard of Heim. Had I, I would never have dismissed the above memo from Smith as making no sense. I couldn't understand why everyone was focusing on MAGNETISM. This seemed an unlikely avenue of faster than light propulsion. This merely demonstrates my ignorance.<br><br>But more importantly, the above memo, especially coupled with this story about the Heim drive, suggests that the memo is exactly accurate. It was the fifties in which UFO investigation was not only respectable, but engaged in by very high level scientists and military types. <br><br>Here's Richard Dolan on the history of UFO secrecy, and the paragraph of interest is below about the CIA destruction of the finest civilian UFO investigation group, NICAP.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Clearly, this was an issue considered to be of the utmost seriousness. As a result, it was not a topic ordinary citizens could simply waltz into and get easy answers. Observe what happened to the most dangerous of all civilian organizations: the National Investigative Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). Founded in 1956 with the goal of ending UFO secrecy, it was quickly and secretly infiltrated by "ex-CIA" officers involved in CIA psychological warfare operations. The most important of them, Colonel Joseph Bryan, was the key player in the ouster of Director Donald Keyhoe in 1969. A succession of CIA men then ran NICAP into the ground. Needless to say, no one outside the Agency knew of their CIA connections.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://keyholepublishing.com/science.htm">keyholepublishing.com/science.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Dolan's book, UFO's and the National Security State is a very good collection of the connectiong between...well I guess the title gives that away.<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>UFOlogy never regained the level of respectability it had under NICAP.<br><br>So, one theory is that we take all this at face value. In the fifties, breakthroughs were made in the understanding of UFO's and Bluebook, CIA takeover of NICAP and whole host of other intel games were put into place as disinformation cover. This is a very "nuts and bolts" hypothesis, despite a lot of high weirdness involving UFO's. However, if we are truly talking about penetrating other dimensions, I doubt we can even envision what that really means.<br><br>Another theory is that much of these "releases" of information are designed to keep the UFO story alive. Because the OTHER UFO phenomenon in the fifties was the beginning of the "contactee" movement, with its connections to Nazi Silver shirts and various channeled "space brothers" of questionable intent. The fifites were also, if Puharich can be believed, when the "nine" first made contact. (We only have his word for it, as far as I know. I think the reference is in his book on Uri Geller. Willing to be corrected on this if others know differently.)<br><br>It's occured to me that much of this UFO/space brother disinfo is not about hiding the truth but creating a myth (as well as maybe hiding some military experiments.) And this myth...well, we've been over all of that. A rightwing movement, perhaps even believing their own myths, has been at the backbone of these stories for decades. And it dovetails with the occult world quite well since these space brothers often bring messages not dissimilar from those of Mme Blavatsky, et al. <br><br>It's also possible, of course, that both are equally true. UFO's came to visit, crazy fascists concocted space brother stories. <br><br>I'm also fairly certain that many of the UFO cults were manipulated, created or, at the very least, studies by psyops types. Again, however, much of this could be independent of the reality of UFO's. Or, it could even be that the CIA or Airforce intelligence, who seem to be behind much of the UFO disinfo, are experimenting with how the UFO reality might affect people. I recall one incident in which researcher Linda Moulton Howe was reportedly taken to an Airforce base by Richard Doty (Falcon of the "aviary") and shown documents purporting to relate the story of extraterrestrial involvement throughout human history. Doty is also the one who leaked bogus UFO information to Paul Bennewitz, which put Bennewitz in the loony bin and UFOlogy in a further crisis of confidence.<br><br>For a fascinating look at the interconnections of UFOlogy, remote viewing and the military and even aspects of the occult, try this:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.think-aboutit.com/ufo/aviary_the_aquarium.htm">www.think-aboutit.com/ufo...uarium.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>We are not asked to believe the literal truth of this story by the author. In fact, it could simply be a well catalogued account of misinformation. <br><br>To get back on topic a bit, I think that this article, assuming it's not just a plant, does give the ole "nuts and bolts" theory of UFO phenomena a boost. After all, if we can even THINK about building such a vehicle in five years...give us 100 and we'll be darting not just to space but perhaps back in time. Intradimensional olympics...can they be far behind?<br> <br>Still we should be alert to the games that are played involving UFO's. And even though this particular article doesn't mention them at all, it could be part of that game. I, for one, would be surprised to see the airforce ANNOUNCE even the potential development of such an engine. <br><br>So, here's part of me hoping that this is all exactly what it purports to be and we are on the edge of a breakthough...either real or as a way to explain back-engineered technology from a recovered E.T. vehicle (for advanced civilizations, they sure crash a lot...). And here's another part of me that says that when it comes to UFO's, military technology, etc...nothing is EVER how it appears.<br><br>-----end ramble----<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
