Hell if I know. Maybe to get 50 years of unchecked MIC funding.

Right, that’s the part that has me scratching my head. The hearing made clear the money laundering that was happening between the DOD and private contractors. I don’t see how the CIA fits into things.

There's like 23 intelligence agencies. I don't know how it all breaks down. But something stinks about this whole thing imo, when the government recruits a Blink 182 member to assist with this whole disclosure thing: http://web.archive.org/web/20230306005444/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/science/tom-delonge-ufo-research.html

23 that we know of. And that doesn’t account for the private sector. That’s the important part to me. Private sector has severely limited congressional oversight. And the DOD is a massive, largely ungoverned slush fund.

The shadow government isn’t a government at all.

I heard in some video that because the government couldn't keep these captured saucers a secret, they were put in private hands. It sort of makes sense, because the government doesn't really have the capability to do quality research or product development, anyway.

I don't have the URL and even then you wouldn't get any information out of it, because it's not verified.

Patents on completely crazy things "Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device": https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170313446A1/en?inventor=Salvatore+Pais&oq=inventor:(Salvatore+Pais) do exist. That is, patents have been published on technology that is so crazy it's considered a joke by everyone. A quality research department of a newspaper should get a team of physicists to chase those things and see whether any of it could actually work.

It’s just considered a joke? Like by scientists and engineers? Has anyone tried to build it?

Some website contacted two experts, which claimed it was bogus. The same website also contacted the patent filer via e-mail and he basically said that he would be proven right.

The patent office also claims that a demo was provided for at least some of the outlandish claims. Additionally, from what I understand the Chinese apparently were developing similar technology and the US Navy wanted to file before the Chinese (which suggests that they had been sitting on this technology for a long time).

The guy also had an IEEE paper published with more details, which I haven't read.

Room temperature superconductors are quite close to reality regardless of his work. I believe the record is like 250K now, which is good enough on the North Pole.

That’s fucking crazy. Seriously.
