Mary Vaughan King, Nicholas de Rochefort, and Counsel Services
Jack Brewer, a somewhat-skeptical UFO investigator with an emphasis on the military and intelligence connections to UFO organizations, has a blog. (And a 2021 book: "Wayward Sons: NICAP and the IC" (https://www.amazon.com/Wayward-Sons-NICAP-Jack-Brewer/dp/B09CRQHPV2 )). His posts on the fo...

Re: Maurice Allais and the Anisotropy of Space
Louis Witten's oral history is online, Nate. He gives a thought provoking account of his visit to "Bahnson's" lab. Aha! Right, so that Witten quote does come from the oral history. Excerpt: Witten: But then, that’s when George Trimble came. George Trimble was the vice president of the Mar...

Re: Nate's Wonderful Timeline Annotated for 1905-1927
Wow, thank you for adding these annotations! The timeline is just a little thing that I threw together in about one day sitting in a library skimming though Paul's first draft around 2009. So really it's Paul's (and Linda's) research that is the labour of love. At the time I had the hope that a Wiki...

Re: Townsend was hyping Sidereal Radiation in 1948
I agree Rose, if this is the same Butterfield than Wonderland Lab does make a lot of sense for his origin. A Santa Maria Times article from May 8, 1948, proves that Townsend's "JF Butterfield" was definitely a "James F", so that's one step closer to a connection. https://www.news...

Re: Townsend was hyping Sidereal Radiation in 1948
I'm not convinced that they are the same person. But 634 South Spring Street definitely is in Los Angeles. (Odd that the company should be called "Lake States Security" when it's not located in a state with a lake.) Wikipedia gives some hints about Mexico and the James F Butterfield who wa...

Re: Townsend was hyping Sidereal Radiation in 1948
Okay, linking back from "Still Thrashing about in the Hawthorne Weeds" ( see https://www.ttbrown.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=713 ): There are either one, or two, JF Butterfields. Both active in Los Angeles between the 1940s and 1980s. We have photographs of both. Are they the same person, or...

Re: Still thrashing about in the Hawthorne Weeds
Stereovision. and holography were still over the horizon, and were the subject of future research papers to be authored by James Butterfield, the director of Brown's Lake Securities in LA. Wait, what? Did I know this? Oh right, the photo over on the "Sidereal radiation" thread. But this s...

Re: Maurice Allais and the Anisotropy of Space
Louis Witten, of RIAS, is quoted as speaking of the potential for antigravity materials, "On the night of a new moon, a guy in France discovered that a pendulum moved faster or slow" and a man named Townsend discovered there was a type of bismuth that was repelled instead of attracting.&q...

Re: The Antigravity Handbook by David Hatcher Childress, 1985
Whew, back after Christmas and New Year. I hope you all had a happy and relaxing holiday. But Alfven and successors are all talking about cosmic rays and high energy physics. It seems to me that these rays must exhibit different values of speed, density, diffusion etc. at different points on their p...

Re: The Antigravity Handbook by David Hatcher Childress, 1985
(Paul) I got a copy of The Phenomenon of Man, which she'd said was Townsend's personal favorite Heh, that's funny because I also have a copy of The Phenomenon of Man. From my late vicar friend, the one who was into parapsychology, and whose personal library resembles a snapshot of pretty much all th...

Re: Townsend was hyping Sidereal Radiation in 1948
Townsend set his electrometer on 20 minute sampling schedules It's possibly a coincidence, or convergent evolution, but Maurice Allais's pendulum precession experiments (which also showed diurnal correlations, some of them possibly "sidereal") also ran on a 20 minute sampling interval. Mo...

Re: Gone DarK; 50 Years after Albert Einstein.
I'm so glad you got into Gone Dark! I didn't know of W R Smythe, so that's an interesting rabbithole. For the record, concurrently with the establishment of the Wonderland lab, CalTech's entire rocket science faculty left the University and became civil servants at the Naval Ordinance Test Station (...

Re: Miscellaneous Townsendiana
That's a great anecdote!When he only 22, he, somehow, had the clout to arrange with AT&T and J.P. Morgan, for the Zanesville News staff to have a local listen in on a Transatlantic conversation between Morgan and a Mr. Smith in England.

Re: The Cady Report and the W*project
Willoughby and Townsend would have been peers in age and in childhood experiences, both sons of superlative engineers. Each of them served in the Navy during WW II, with Willoughby's last post being as the head of the Naval Ordinance Lab at China Lake. That's very interesting! So Cady was also a Na...
