Bear with me on this. Thorium (U-233) has been pinging all over the place for me. It has been claimed that the Nazi Bell was actually a thorium based breeder reaction. (See The Dreaded UFO Topic ) It might well have been, as thorium is said to be an ideal nuclear breeder/reactor fuel, yielding more ...

I need to have a do-over on this whole typo-filled, and poorly edited thread.

Townsend "left" the Navy and the East Coast toward the end of 1942 and, supposedly, took a job with Vega (Lockheed) Aircraft in Burbank. But his first residence on Wonderland Avenue places him quite near a large, mysterious complex at the end of the street on Lookout Mountain Dr. Even Wiki...

How nice to hear! Does it make the decades long slog worth it?

Based upon what he, himself, calls a "sketchy analysis of the data from the Brown Electrometer" Cady concludes: 8.6 ) It is claimed that the deflections of the electrometer show certain periodicities. If these are real they show the inadequacy of the electric wind hypothesis. Their reality...

Have you listened to the rest of the TTB series yet? Are you liking what you are hearing?

Sheesh. A few days ago, the crypto veterans site had a warm and fuzzy home-baked, feel to it. It was very accessible and I was able to guest-post a question to their forum.. When I came back to see if the question had been answered, the site has had a complete makeover. changed completely. Nos is a ...

And so it begins...

Congrratulations, Paul. May this be the first of many to come.

ETA, after listening to the first episode, I had not expected such a minute accounting of Townsend's life. Very Impressive recounting of the story.

That covers Winterhaven for now. On to the Cady Report Townsend had years of data from his electrometer observations. Reportedly, at the time of Cady's request, he even had equipment operating in a shielded room in the Huntley Banks building in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, Cady is told that the only re...

Townsend's presentation at Rand has always seemed to be both a homecoming and hand off at the same time. As a regular researcher at the Pacific Aeronautical Libarary in Santa Monica, he was there when Rand was born. This library, well-supported by the government and all of the West Coast aerospace f...

The evolution of their relationship, from the time Townsend came to Odlum's attention until the final collapse of Guidance Technology is documented in Odlum's papers in the Eisenhower Presidential Library. Odlum, thought to be fabulously wealthy had been supporting two wastetrel sons for years. He i...

If you don't have time for the story linked above, the TLDR is that the Spy-6 fills a role as a universal receiver on all comms channels.

Further evidence for my Son of Fan theory is that "Morgan" was told about this feature of the Fan on the day he met Townsend.

The above 1950 article says Sarbacher was a director of "The National Labs, Inc", which had been doing atomic research at 2010 Massachussetts Ave for the past 2 years. It is worth noting that Linda remembered that Sarbacher's "Washinton Institure of Technology" lab as being locat...

Ross Gunn, Townsend's senior by eight years, and supervisor of the NRL Heat and Light division, told young Brown his research wasn't "worth the paper it was written on." (Source: Linda Brown) Understandable perhaps, because Ph.D. Gunn was well-versed in the research methods of which Brown,...

Those missionaries and merchants who were the first Haoles to settle in Hawaii, became the most wealthy, influential, and powerful families in the islands. They would ultimately succeed in pushing the state into the Union in 1959. (They would have been Caroline quality, Paul). Descendant Joseph Athe...
