Book description
This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology, originally spearheaded by scientists in Nazi Germany, was another high priority, one that still may be in effect today. Now for the first time, a reporter with an unprecedented access to key sources in the intelligence and military communities reveals suppressed evidence that tells the story of a quest for a discovery that could ...

Review:
This book contains the secret to interstellar travel, and a road map for the 3rd Millennium. Not by technology. Not by electro-gravitics. Not by cosmic wormholes. No FTL. No warp 9. Those things are known to be impossible by everyone who knows a little physics. Yet, the UFOs are here. We will laugh, my Kepler, at the extraordinary stupidity of those who ignore this overwhelming and obvious fact. The UFOs levitate silently over our landscape and apport instantly across lightyears by the powers of the Mind. This book is hard to classify because it seems to be about everything: solutions to social problems, solutions to ancient philosophical and theological questions about the problem of evil, immortality, free will, solutions to the parad...

Review:
This book is another great book from the Annals of Improbable research (a scientific journal about science that can not and should not be reproduced). The book lists scientific research and papers that make you think 'eh? what? why?'. Especially in interesting medical research where papers seem to be published about strange cases seen by medical specialists. There is also more semi-politics, such as the awarding of an Ig Nobel peace price to "Jacques Chirac, President of France, for commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hiroshima with atomic bomb tests in the Pacific." The book also tells about the Ig Nobel prices and the Ig Nobel ceremony. A fun read, especially if you do have something to do with science and scientists.

Book description
Free energy and anti-gravity are new solutions to the world's energy crisis. Rarely mentioned in the media-- even as power shortages cripple the U.S.-- Zero-Point Energy can transform our earth to a self-sustaining, pollution-free planet. The basic theory of Zero Point Energy maintains that there are fluctuations of electrical field energy embedded within the fabric of space. By identifying the densest energy; and then using today's technology to balance the energy flow, we can acquire free energy which doesn't deplete the earth. Filled with detailed diagrams, patents, and photos, the chapters include: * Fundamentals of Zero-Point Energy Technology * Tapping Zero-Point Energy as an Energy Source * Vacuum Energy Vortices * The Super Tube * C...
