Subject: Dr. Eric W. Davis' UFO Statements @ SSE Lecture
Dr. Eric W. Davis, Of NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion PhysicsProject, Discussed UFOs During Lecture
By J. Maynard GelinasDr.
Eric W. Davis, formerly a contract research physicist atNASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project, which ran from1996 through to 2002, gave a lecture in 2010 where he respondedto the question of UFOs as they pertain to potential physics fortraversable wormholes, warp drives, and anti-gravity. Sponsoredby the Society for Scientific Exploration, the lecture was abouta then recently published book, Frontiers of Propulsion Science,that discussed discoveries from the NASA project.
After the lecture, during a question and answer session, one questionerasked whether, "...properties of UFOs had guided the thinkingand research of that initiative." In responding to the question,Dr. Davis said, "Secretly yes and overtly no."In giving a reason for the secrecy, he stated that, "UFOs don'thave credibility with mainstream academic researchers," andthat, "...policy makers and decision-makers in charge of fundingand programatics ... don't want to hear the topic of UFOs. So,for the purpose of doing this officially, [we didn't bring inUFOs], but we did consider it under the table."Dr. Davis was a technical consultant to the NASA project.
He obtained a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Arizona in 1991, was a cofounder of a joint NASA-JSC's Advanced Deep SpaceTransport Technology Assessment group studying advanced propulsion physics, and has authored several papers on zero-point vacuum physics for propulsion as well as the potential of traversable wormholes.
Delving further into the subject, Dr. Davis noted that some had,"...looked at all the physical events and physical descriptions[of UFO data] provided by researchers such as [Jaques Vallee,George Hathaway, and the unnamed questioner]."
He described twoevents that took place at the NIDS Utah Ranch of, "...one scientist and one researcher seeing a wormhole, what looked like a wormhole, with a creature crawling through." In the second event, "...the ranch owners had seen an opening in the sky inbroad daylight with a triangular craft that came through it." Dr. Davis then compared these observations with known wormhole physics. "...that's an example of data that indicates a wormhole involved. Geometry tells you what a wormhole looks like when itintersects our space. It appears as [an intensely bright] point of light and then, as the intersection gets larger and larger,it opens up and you begin to see the hole." At that point, he noted, objects could traverse the wormhole.
Discussing the matter of UFOs and warp drives, Dr. Davis stated that, "We haven't seen performances that adhere to the warpdrive because ...basically it's just between stars and we don'tsee UFOs warping anywhere. We see them doing ninety-degree turns and rapid motions. They disappear and reappear. That is undetermined yet."He finally commented on the matter of anti-gravity, "...we haveanti-gravity in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. ...There are aspects of anti-gravity, the properties of negative vacuum energy, that would create a repulsive force that allows something to levitate up. And UFOs do exhibit that."
In explaining how, he referred to Dr. Hal Puthoff's PolarizedVacuum Model where, "...instead of space-time [in traditional Relativity], you envision space-time as a polarized vacuum of a quantum zero point fluctuations. And, if you exert a field onthat medium, the fluctuations are polarized, [and] that creates a space-time bending effect similar to warp drive and wormholes. We see that in aspects of what's predicted."
The Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project was disbanded at NASA in 2002 due to funding shortfalls. Dr. Davis is now a research physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies-Austin, and is CEO of the company Warp Drive Metrics.
He is currently scheduled to speak at the 2013 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) symposium.
