Project Greenglow was a small research effort funded by the British defence company BAE Systems from the mid-1990s until 2005 to explore speculative ideas for controlling gravity and finding new energy sources. It was led by engineer Ron Evans and found no workable method of gravity control.[1][2]
Origins
Evans, a BAE engineer, approached management with the idea of studying gravity; his bosses gave him a small budget and an office, and the project was born. Accounts differ on when he first made his case, from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. Part of the impetus came from Eugene Podkletnov's claims of gravity shielding by superconductors.[1][2]
Work
Greenglow funded academic research and held workshops to examine theories of gravity and claimed anomalous effects, trying to turn what many regarded as science fiction into testable science. It ran in parallel with NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program under Marc Millis.[1]
End
The project closed in 2005, when Evans retired, without producing any practical proposal for controlling gravity. BAE has since been reluctant to discuss it.[1]
Disclosure
Evans described the project in his book Greenglow and the Search for Gravity Control, and it was the subject of a BBC Horizon documentary, "Project Greenglow: The Quest for Gravity Control", around 2016. The testimony notes that BAE has been linked in UFO circles to interest in UAP-derived technology, and that Kit Green had mentioned a BAE executive in 2006; Greenglow itself was an open, if unconventional, research effort.[1][3]
