For the last 15 years, Cook has been an aviation reporter and editor at Jane's Defence Weekly, a defense industry trade journal that one would expect to find Cheney and Rumsfeld discussing on the way to the briefing room. A full-length project from a high-ranking Jane's editor creates a certain confidence in the contents, yet, as Cook makes clear, most of what's in this book won't be found in Jane's, as the evidence for "zero point energy" is less concrete, even if just as scrupulously sourced here. The book begins when Cook jokingly calls the possibility of antigravity drives "the ultimate quantum leap in aircraft design" in one of his Jane's pieces more than 10 years ago. A few years later, someone anonymously slips him an article, dating to the 1950s, that shows officials at Lockheed Martin and other big contractors claiming they were close to exactly that. Intrigued, Cook takes the bait and follows the trail to the wildest territory imaginable: destroyed or pulled reports; disappearing battleships; silent, glowing flying discs; time distortion; Nazi slave labor. To simplify in the extreme: Cook has found evidence that Nazi scientists had tapped into zero point energy the quantum energy that possibly exists within vacuums in amounts that make nuclear energy look like a joke (enough energy in the space of a coffee cup, Cook explains, to boil the world's oceans six times over). When WWII ended, Nazi secrets were plundered by the U.S. Army, which spirited them, along with many of the German scientists themselves, into "black" programs not acknowledged by the government and which may have produced working aerospace technology based on zero point. Through his cover as a Jane's reporter, Cook seeks out the stealthy wonks of this top-secret world, but readers will have to wade through some opaque thumbnail descriptions of the science and arcane WWII history to understand what he and others are getting at. It is well worth it.
Speaking of books, John, have you read/heard of Hunt for Zero Point by Nick Cooke. I am not fully through it yet but it mentioned your father in the first chapter.

As I have said many, many times, I am not a physicist or scientist and I never graduated from college. That said (as a disclaimer) my opinion is that 'zero point energy' is a scam. So far it has not produced 1 microvolt of power. I know that many high profile people are involved in the search but so far, there has been nothing in the way of progress and I don't foresee any in the near future. Or the far future for that matter....
....I have been careful not to exagerate my feelings here on Zero Point energy or Nick Cooke's search for it.

Do you feel that way because you think it is impossible, you think it is just currently improbable, or do you think it is because someone like "they" won't let it happen (due to the convenient control of fossil fuels and a possible world economic collapse)?
John, i am sorry to ask you to expand after so carefully avoiding such already.

I went to the Tonapah Test Range to look for the F-19 and no, not the
F-117A. Yes I froze my buns off and didn't see anything. When I set up
the scope I saw an odd shape which turned out to be the inverted image
of the airports lighted wind tee.

gearbox.)

John, I do not mean to disrespect you or anything, and infact, if I do, sorry. But I googled Gene Huff on google and an article on a REALLY REALLY old forum back in... I think 1996. Gene Huff went completely crazy and there was an arguement.
What in the world happened there?!? And on that C2C show when he rang up he was acting normal?

If there was any possiblility to Zero Point Energy amounting to anything the government would have done it themselves long ago. As it stands now the government has techonology far beyond what you could imagine. And to keep you from imagining what they have they carefully send you on a wild goose chase in the other direction. Even pay for it.
You believe that humans have been involved in extraordinary voygaes to other planets etc etc
How do you explain the propulsion tech and ability to deny "accepted" known methods yat deny capacity to take "energy" from aether?
