Wow. What a bunch of hokum.
First, from the second video:
The copper tubing and the iron tubing are obviously of different diameters. The magnet took about three seconds to fall through the copper because it was bouncing off the wall of the tube the whole way down, whereas it simply rolled freely through the larger iron tube.

About the opposing magnets in the falling objects experiment (if indeed it ever actually happened), a difference in weight WILL affect how fast it falls. If you take two balloons -- or two basketballs -- and fill one with air and one with water, the one filled with water will fall much faster. That's because it's momentum, due to it's mass and velocity, will help it overcome air resistence much more easily.
Magician's tricks, pure and simple. And not very clever one's, at that. imho, of course.

Ever moved a magnet near alluminum or a piece of copper?
Try it... Theres even patents using copper and alluminum as motor brakes for magnets. Not some parlor trick...The motion of a magnet induces a back emf.
He says they are the same weight, and put them in the same shapes in which a person could not tell them apart.

If, by "emf", you mean electromagnetic force, then I confess that I've never heard of a "back" emf. Magnets don't react with aluminum, copper, brass, etc, because these metals' molecules don't polarize when they "freeze".
Or has this guy discovered some amazing property of common metals that's eluded all the alchemists of antiquity?

I do not understand why everybody keeps linking magnetism/electricity with gravity. They are two things entirely different. Gravity is a bending of spacetime, it has nothing to do with attraction/repulsion. That's especially evident in airless experiments where a "heavy" object free-falls in the same rate as a "light" object.

Why did Einstein spend the last days devoting his life with coming up with a unified theory linking magnetism with gravity?

Thirdly, why we were not shown the experiment at the Lockheed Martin premises, but we only got to see some paper with signatures? if it's so easy to do it, then why not do it again instead of showing a piece of paper?
Lastly, I do not trust people who sell stuff. If you want to bring out the truth, post it on the internet, don't sell it for profit. The guy obviously wants to sell DVDs...

This guy has always seemed credible to me. I heard him interviewed by Tim Ventura of that antigravity research site, and I have to say he sounds quite intelligent. I think the mp3 is posted somewhere on his site, and you should hear the guy. In his videos he's talking that way cause he can't disclose what he really wants to say, cause he would get in trouble, as with any employee talking about secret military program
