Description

Haven’t watched the whole thing, but APEC, Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference, had another multi-speaker presentation today. Much of this stuff is very engineering-heavy and lost on me, but I believe they’re on the absolute forefront of next-level propulsion systems. Essential for anyone who comes here to try and understand what a future beyond rocket-fuel systems looks like, and part of what attracts us to the UFO subject in the first place.

Ryan S Wood is best-known as the author of Majic Eyes Only: Earth’s Encounters with Extraterrestrials, an overview of the MJ-12 documents. You can read the synopsis to his book at the end of this post.

In his presentation, he talks about how his father Dr. Bob Wood worked at Douglas Aircraft and was working on anti-gravity in the late ‘60s. Bob Wood had read every UFO book at the time and was interested on figuring out anti-gravity before Lockheed Corporation.

He talks about Dudley Bowen Clark, who was funded by the Atomic Energy Commission, the Navy, and Signal Corps, an office of the US Army, to work on a gravity insulator.

References the New York Herald Tribune piece from November 1955 talking about Convair and General Dynamics Division, and the “G-engines are Coming” as referenced in Ross Coulthart’s recent talk about the Scientific Coalition for UAP talk about the open study of anti-gravitics:

He then references something that’s been a huge missing piece of research in this era for me—

The RIAS, or the Research Institute of Advanced Science, founded in 1955 as a subdivision of the Glenn L. Martin Group by George Bunker.

Interestingly, the Glenn L. Martin Company was launched in 1911 after Martin saw his first airplane in 1907. In 1912, the company opened up a larger facility in Los Angeles, and one of his first early customers was William Boeing.
