So why then would the US Navy expend the time, and associated expense in seeking such a patent?

My father (RIP) had Top Security clearance during the Gemini - Apollo programs ..... I am not illiterate in the subject myself.

I don't know if you understand what NASA is saying. They are not saying it changes the mass like the patent discussed in this thread claims. They are saying they don't need to build the spacecraft with as much mass because using that technology enables them to make a lighter space ship that will still accomplish the mission objectives. It's completely different than changing an objects mass using a turbo defabulator or whatever jargon was used in the patent.
Analysis of the laser ranges has allowed us to verify the Equivalence Principle - an assumption of Einstein's Theory - with an accuracy of 2x10E-13.
So researchers are looking for mass differences, but if they've found any beyond error bars, I'm not aware of it.
However, some theorists have predicted that new physics might emerge when gravitational experiments are performed with quantum objects such as atoms...
The team found that (g85-g87)/g85 = 1.2 x 10E-7, with error bars of 1.7 x 10E-7, which is consistent with the two accelerations being the same, in accordance with the equivalence principle.
I certainly have read quite a lot of UFO history. The evidence for human misperceptions is plentiful.

And anyone who is truly read up in all the past UFO related history would already accept mass reduction and drag elimination are already a "thing". Maybe not you of course.

NASA put out a quiet publish of their current proposals for using "Magneto Aerodynamic" systems on space craft to reduce mass, and it is well known to military insiders that only a very small fraction of this research is not classified. The rest of it is classified.

This doesn't mean "Antigravity" probably because using that term publicly would be embarrassing for public people funded by by dot.gov and dot.mil's
Plus the project that is public doesn't really fit that term, but perhaps the classified ones do.

i hope the author isnt talking about a vacuum like the lack of air kind.
