A week ago, while my husband and I watched The Age of Disclosure documentary on Amazon, there in a prominent position and interviewed repeatedly was Hal Puthoff. As many of you may remember, Hal is the physicist who had been the hero in my book The Field, for his work on the Zero Point Field and on the Stargate remote viewing program.
But here in this documentary he was identified as Senior Advisor and Chief Scientist for the US Defense Intelligence Agency-funded initiative tracking what used to be called Unidentified Flying Objects and are now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (or UAPs).
Hal must be in his late 80s now, but he was cogent and clear, and what he disclosed about UAPs rang a large bell for me.
I published The Field 25 years ago, which set me on this entire journey into science and spirituality. And as I watched I recalled something that had been said at a workshop organized by NASA in January 2001. The conference was one of a series of workshops on Breakthrough Propulsion Physics held throughout America and Europe.
It was clear to every scientist in the room that the planet had, at most, 50 years of fossil fuel left and humans were facing a climate crisis as the greenhouse effect slowly turned our world into a gas chamber. Looking for new sources of energy wasn’t just necessary to power spaceships. It was also vital to power Earth and maintain it intact for the next generation.
At the time, experiments making use of the most outlandish of new ideas in physics had already been going on covertly for 30 years. Rumors abounded about secret testing sites at places like Los Alamos with billion dollar ‘black’ budgets that NASA or the American military continued to hotly deny. Even British Aerospace had launched its own secret program – codenamed Project Greenglow – to study the possibility of turning off gravity.
During his talk, Hal Puthoff had explained that, if you were going to attempt extract to energy from The Field, you’d have several choices. You’d need to decouple from gravity, reduce inertia or generate enough energy from the Zero Point Field (also referred to as ‘the vacuum’ in physics) to overcome both.
Then Hal said he’d thought of turning the whole project inside out, following up on a notion first mooted by general relativity theorist Miquel Alcubierre of the University of Wales. Alcubierre had tried to determine whether WARP drives, as described in Star Trek, really were possible.
What if you tried modifying the space-time metric? If you use the curved space-time of Einstein, you treat the vacuum as a medium that could be polarized. You do a little ‘vacuum engineering,’ as Nobel prize laureate Tsung-Dao Lee had called it.
If you modify space-time to an extreme degree, you can increase the speed of light. Mass then decreases and energy bond strength increases – features that theoretically would make interstellar travel possible.
What you do is to distort and expand space-time behind the spaceship, contract space-time in front of it, and then ‘surf ‘along on it faster than the speed of light.
In other words, you restructure general relativity as an engineer would. If you could successfully do this, you could make a spaceship travel at 10 times the speed of light, which would be apparent to people on Earth but not the astronauts inside. You’d finally have yourself a Star Trek WARP drive.
What you are doing by such ‘metric engineering’, as Hal termed it, is getting space-time to push you away from the Earth and toward your destination.
‘But how close were we to doing any of this?’ the audience asked. ‘It might take 20 years to do it,’ Hal had replied laconically. Or it might take that same amount of time just to decide that it was not possible to get to it. You probably weren’t looking at major space travel in his lifetime, although he still held out hope of extracting energy for earthbound fuel before he died.
And now here in this documentary 25 years later, Puthoff was describing this very method of ‘surfing space time’ as the most likely means by which UAPs travel from distant galaxies to our airspace.
And although he didn’t spell it out, as senior scientist, he has been privy for many years to all the evidence the authorities know about UAPs. What he had been describing in that small workshop of just 60 scientists, without spelling it out, is what he’d discovered or intuited: other life forms from distant galaxies had long used these means to visit Earth, and we were only at the start of our journey to catch up with them.
And we’re still not off the starting block.
