Description

I know this sounds crazy, but I have the receipts and you just need to hear me out and follow along. I know I'm talking about two taboo subjects at once the connection may not be immediately obvious to some people. This also may be lots of brand new information for some people.

I had a background interest in fusion energy before getting deep into researching the ufo topic. I have been pointing out on this sub for awhile that nuclear energy would be the most likely source of energy for ufos that display advanced propulsion. If you look at the physics it's hard to deny this. Once I got hooked on the ufo subject after 2017 I started researching the AAWSAP DIRD's as soon as they became available because I knew the only verified documents from the most recent publicly verified UFO investigation since Project Blue Book would be a good place to start. Immediately I recognized the multiple reports of different fusion concepts which encouraged me to dive deeper into exploring energy as well as how energy relates to propulsion especially nonconventional propulsion. This led me to research electric propulsion concepts such as magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and electrohydrodynamics (EHD) as well as the most recent advances in compact nuclear power sources and theoretical research into warping space-time. All of this stuff is in the DIRD's. What I'm going to explore below is not in the DIRD's. However, people associated with the UFO topic such as Hal Puthoff are verified as being involved in the subject and there are claims that connect Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace who also was responsible for the investigations at Skinwalker Ranch as well as the creation of AAWSAP. That makes this a potentially huge thread to pull as it was the disclosure of AAWSAP that coincided with the release of the videos and rise of TTSA.

TLDR; There's an abundance of evidence that there is something to "cold fusion" and Bigelow may have funded research from a Los Alamos National Labs nuclear physicist into it and Hal Puthoff definitely has researched it with a former SRI experimental physicist. Ronald Richter, the former nazi scientist, may have reported cold fusion long before 1989. NASA has confirmed lattice confinement fusion is real in 2 peer-reviewed papers and most people apparently have missed that this is "cold fusion." If Williams' theory is correct, magnetic fields should strongly effect lattice confinement fusion and such a prediction would confirm his theory which also predicts a coupling of the electric field to gravity.

An exploration into exploratory physics is reported

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced in Sept. of 2022 that it was funding up to $10M to study Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) aka “cold fusion.” The official announcement can be viewed here (https://arpa-e.energy.gov/news-and-media/press-releases/us-department…). This subject has been known to go by dozens of different terminologies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZsFCT_xHXA) such as solid state fusion, lattice enhanced fusion, lattice confined fusion, etc. The topic is typically scoffed at by most members of the scientific community as pseudoscience. So, why is the DOE funding it?

The short answer is that there are numerous credentialed scientists interested in the topic despite the dismissive attitude of academia. It turns out that there are a plethora of interesting results and the recent interest is shared by more than just the DOE. There are numerous academic institutions involved in the research and even NASA is studying the subject. There’s even interest in it by members of Silicon Valley and investors. Although there is admittedly no clear consensus for an underlying theory for the many reported anomalous results it appears a consensus among some less risk averse individuals is that there’s something here worth exploring. A conference (all videos available to view here (https://www.youtube.com/@ICCF24xSolidStateEnergySummit/videos)) was held in October of 2022 in which members of the DOE program, NASA researchers, Google researchers, investors, and others presented on the topic. Presenters referenced patents, shared peer-reviewed papers, examples of repeatable experiments, replicated experiments and discussed next steps moving forward. It was expressed that there needed to be collaborative efforts to design a proof of concept demonstration worthy of publication in the most esteemed peer-reviewed journals in order to move the subject forward. 

In the presentation by Dr. Florian Metzler (https://youtu.be/aaiStF1l_UQ) (who is a nuclear engineer) he argues that the controversy over the field is indicative of the process of formation and compares it to the history of the transistor. Interestingly, he points out that some of the first reports of fusion were in a metal lattice in 1922 by Wendt and Irion (https://newenergytimes.com/v2/library/2012/2012Krivit-ANS-Transaction…). It was also reported by Paneth and Peter (https://web.archive.org/web/20220401225911/https://www.lenr-canr.org/…) in 1926. It’s worth mentioning that Paneth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Paneth) was once the director of the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry. 

Dr. Metzler doesn’t mention the reported results of Ronald Richter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Richter) who announced controlled fusion results in Argentina in 1951. The scientific community concluded he was a fraud because he refused to allow outsiders to examine his reactor but it’s interesting to note that his announcement sparked US fusion research and according to his description resembles what we would now call “cold fusion.” He even was suspected of using lithium hydride which has a metal lattice. Among the many different approaches discussed at the conference was lattice confinement fusion (https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/space/science/lattice-confinement-fusion/#n…) which NASA announced in 2020 they demonstrated in two peer-reviewed papers using “deuterated” erbium as part of an effort to seek a new energy source for deep-space exploration missions. Perhaps Richter wasn’t a fraud after all and fell into the same LENR trap as many others. Cornelis Jan Baaker visited Richter to inspect the fusion claims and there is a CIA document (https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp83-00415r009900030011…) titled ‘Meetings of Cornelis Jan Baaker and Ronald Richter in Argentina’ but it’s difficult to make sense of it.

NASA also signed a contract (https://www.nasa.gov/saa/domestic/24838_SAA3-1529.pdf) in 2017 with Global Energy Corporation (http://www.gec.solutions/home.html) (GEC) for development and testing of a high power space generator. GEC also had a presence at the presentation and a 2022 conference paper (https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20220002717) titled “Molten Salt Lattice Confinement Fusion (LCF) Fast Fission Reactor for Lunar and Planetary Surface Power.” Some members of GEC also hold a 2003 patent (https://patents.google.com/patent/US8419919B1/en) for “System and method for generating particles” which basically claims transmutation and is assigned to JWK international Corp. JWK is affiliated with SPAWAR (https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/SzpakSspawarsyst.pdf). The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) is now called NAVWAR and in 2009 they apparently boasted 20 years of researching LENR (https://web.archive.org/web/20120426071448/http://bisbee.net/wp/wp-co…). If you do the math on that they have been studying it since the famous 1989 Pons-Fleischmann announcement. 

Stanford Research Institute (SRI) also had an investigator that has studied LENR since 1989 named Michael McKubre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McKubre)who presented at the conference. In 2007 (https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/McKubreMCHcoldfusion.pdf) he published a brief prospective on his work and in 2018 it was announced that SRI independently verified (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180313005600/en/SRI-Report-I…) the LENR Reactions of Brillouin Energy (https://brillouinenergy.com/). The technical report can be found here (https://www.lenr-forum.com/attachment/4676-sri-technical-report-kopia…

Another researcher formerly associated with SRI named Ken Shoulders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_R._Shoulders) also was once involved in this field and his work was mentioned at the conference. Ken Shoulders was a pioneering experimental physicist in microelectronics and drone technology. He worked with Dr. Hal Puthoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_E._Puthoff) to investigate what he called Exotic Vacuum Objects (EVO’s.) He patented some of the technology and even pursued a patent for transmutation that was apparently denied by the patent office. This author has done extensive primary research into Ken Shoulders’ work (https://medium.com/predict/ken-shoulders-primary-research-a-search-fo…). It’s also worth noting that the Safire Project (https://www.safireproject.com/) was mentioned during a questioning session at the conference and Hal Puthoff has been associated with investigating that work as well. 

Another researcher this author has covered that appears to be entirely or largely unknown to the LENR community is a Los Alamos National Labs (LANL) nuclear physicist named Pharis Williams. Williams was of the highest rank of classification for handling nuclear material and existed largely outside of academia as well as LENR research. However, he authored many technical papers for LANL, the Navy, and at least one for the Air Force Space Technology Center. He was allowed to spend half his time at LANL to work on his own unified field theory and published it in 1988. Surprisingly, in it he predicts that fusion of hydrogen into helium by lowering the Coulomb barrier is possible which is precisely what many in the LENR field report. Williams also proposed this could be done (https://web.archive.org/web/20110427040617if_/http://www.physicsandbe…) using “the crystal lattice of a metal under a high magnetic field that locks up [the hydrogen] spin axis in the correct orientation.” He even patented this (https://patents.google.com/patent/US20130235963A1/en)design in 2013 shortly before his death. This author also uncovers how he is on camera twice claiming that this research was being (https://medium.com/predict/exploring-5-dimensions-the-dynamic-theory-…) funded by silent investors and in a 2017 self published book by Colonel John Alexander, Alexander claims that Robert Bigelow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bigelow) of Bigelow Aerospace funded Williams’ research. It’s worth pointing out that there is little evidence indicating anyone in the LENR community is looking into using magnetic fields to enhance their Helium products. If Williams’ theory is correct they should, especially if using lattice confinement approaches, be able to put a regular commercial magnet next to the material and see an increase in helium fusion products. 

Another interesting person listed on a 2022 DOE LENR workshop (https://arpa-e.energy.gov/events/low-energy-nuclear-reactions-workshop) was former NASA scientist Harold White (https://medium.com/predict/space-time-metric-engineering-43aaed2c081c) who was representing the Limitless Space Institute which is interested in future advances for deep space travel, a topic of which touches on technology trends (https://medium.com/predict/electric-propulsion-study-ddfc995e910f) this author has covered many times.

One researcher at the conference, George Egely, traces LENR research all the way back to Tesla and Henry Thomas Moray (https://www.infinite-energy.com/iemagazine/issue133/forgotten-inventi…). This author has also seen Moray’s work come up in the Air Force Space Technology Center document linked in the Pharis Williams’ research above. The involvement of Carl Eyring is interesting as the Eyring Institute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyring_Research_Institute) is known to have connections to top secret government projects. 

Some other notable mentions at the conference are claims of direct energy conversion and interest from Silicon Valley (https://youtu.be/Zne58QJJTx4) in funding LENR research. Even famed technology investor Peter Diamandis of the X-Prize Foundation (https://youtu.be/W38_OdGFqTY)makes an appearance. 

This article is far from comprehensive and perhaps the best way to end it is with the presentation by Dr. Oliver Barham’s, the project manager at US Navy Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC-IHD), presentation titled, ‘A Rising Scientific Tide Will Lift All Boats’ (https://youtu.be/Rby2rU9UtFk) in which he explains how the topic has had increasing acceptance to peer review, but much more work needs to be done to convince the larger scientific community.
