He claims that faster-than-light propulsion system have been developed or in use in the Phoenix III/Montauk project. Is that a reasonable thing to say and if so how would these propulsion system work in theory?
By travelling faster than the speed of light.
I dont know man. and your really going nowhere asking people. We are in the same boat as you.
What happens with FTL travel is that as you pass the speed of light (the EM barrier), the spatial dimension in the direction of travel shifts into the coordinate time realm, as speed is a reciprocal relation between space and time—cross the barrier, and you start having a temporal dimension instead of a spatial one. But, since time is 3D, not a 1D vector, you have to keep the ship going straight in the coordinate time realm, which means you need to be able to see the realm to properly navigate it. This is
what the Orion Cube does. Upon transition to FTL velocity, the volume of the ship has been altered to 2 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal one—which means that in space, it appears as an area, not a volume, usually a flat disc or saucer shape, depending on the FTL speed. It gets flatter the faster it travels beyond the speed of light (the reciprocal relation: more time, less space). In time, it is cylindrical or jet-like, like a meteor streaking through the temporal landscape that needs an accurate flight path so it arrives at both the correct location in coordinate space, and in coordinate time.
So their “guns” are like a couple of people playing a flute to a remote observer. Even though they may both play the note “C”, the frequencies will not be exactly the same, so the further you go, the more the waves go out of phase. Far enough, they may even cancel each other out from that phase difference. This is where the concept of range comes from.

...an object's mass increases as it accelerates. As it approaches the speed of light, it's mass becomes infinite and therefore impossible to provide enough fuel for such a propulsion system.

There is something on Project Camelot about using the piloting device of a UFO to see possible futures. They also talk about 2 different timelines for Earth.

...when you accelerate matter past the speed of light it becomes radioactive—it emits radio waves while it is throwing off particles... It has to do with the fact that the zone of isotopic stability inverts when you cross the speed of light... Atomic explosions in the stellar interior are violent enough to push motion past the speed of light...
...When high-speed matter drops below the speed of light, it must reacquire the isotopic mass it lost... the atom absorbs particles and emits x-rays, not radio waves, as it builds mass back. All elements dropping from FTL motion to sub-light will emit x-rays, and all astronomical x-ray emitters are demonstrating this process—including our sun.

What's with the cartoon-style writing and format? It looks like some teenager addicted to graphic comic books put it together, and the writing is near-unreadable. Utter fail, sorry; even if the information is legitimate, this isn't worth slogging through.
Inverse (FTL) thermal motion is super-hot, so hot that it appears cold and the region of the sun where it takes place goes dark, as in the sunspot umbra. There are already indications of this beginning to occur. 15 Except this time, the whole sun will become an “umbra”—there should be a bright flash, like a nova flare, when the gas hits the fire (additional elements suddenly being available for fuel from the jump in magnetic ionization), then the sun will go dark, like it went out. But only for a short time, until the initial burst of new fuel has burned up and the sun returns to the zone of stability

It's not about being a 'bad typist' it's about the fact that it looks like some manic teenager wrote it in between Facebook posts and UFO sightings.
I could try to slog through the pseudo-scientific stuff but it's either 100 IQ points above my pay grade or garbage.
A serious researcher postulating a serious, ground breaking topic doesn't set up a paper like this. It looks for all the world like my refrigerator used to, when the kids were in first grade and brought home 'oh ain't that sweet' new fingerpaintings every day.

Written by who? What year is it from? Who published it? There could be a dozen papers out there with that name, and how are we to find it with only a title.
This forum is exclusively for scientific papers? I guess almost every thread should be deleted then
