Hi Everybody:

This all started rather innocently: I picked up a copy of the Atlas & MRO
DVD at the STAIF 2006 Conference, which contained a ton of great footage
taken by Lockheed-Martin during the initial launch of the probe in August
2005. I don't follow this kind of work normally, but since NASA is also
doing a live webcast, I've gotten permission from Lockheed to publish both 3
of their clips outlining the science, mission & launch of the spacecraft, as
well as a link to the NASA feed, which presumably will show data from the
craft at 1:24pm PST.

Thus, for anybody on broadband or sitting bored on their office-PC, you'll
be able to get a quick refresher in what this mission is all about, as well
as watching the live NASA footage online as it streams in.

This will be our main-page story for the day, online at American
Antigravity.

HUTCHISON RESUMES EXPERIMENTAL TESTING: VIDEO CAPTURES NEW LARGE-SCALE
EFFECTS

For the first time in over a decade, Canadian inventor John Hutchison has
reproduced the "Hutchison-Effect" in his homebuilt lab-environment. In our
exclusive video footage, taken March 4th by researcher Harold Berndt, over
1,500 pounds of test-equipment is seen to spontaneously jump after what
Berndt describes as an audible change in equipment noise that occurred while
Hutchison was calibrating his test apparatus.

This is the first reported occurrence of the Hutchison-Effect since the
mid-1990's, when the Canadian EPA asked Hutchison to discontinue his
research due to public anxiety about the unexpected nature of the effect
itself. However, a combination of television publicity and renewed interest
in the effect by the United States military has caused them to relax their
views and allow Hutchison to begin new experimentation.

Berndt is a well-known Vancouver area realtor who developed an interest in
UFO's and the paranormal two years ago, which eventually led him to connect
with inventor John Hutchison as he continues to explore new avenues of
research in science & technology. Berndt is also the Canadian representative
for the Disclosure Project, a well-known activist organization involved with
lobbying the government for openness on the subject of UFO's.

Berndt's description of this anomalous phenomenon is inline with previous
reports of the Hutchison-Effect. It tends to occur unexpectedly while
Hutchison himself is busily engaged in calibrating a collection of sensitive
tube-based RF transmitters & Tesla-Coils, and exhibits a diverse array of
phenomenon including levitation, the jellification of metals, in addition
reported invisibility effects. Another hallmark characteristic of the
Hutchison Effect is it's frequency --in this case, while Berndt shot over 40
minutes of footage while Hutchison was testing equipment, only a single
kinetic event lasting only a few seconds was caught on film.

In a statement Monday about this research, Berndt reaffirmed his goal to
return to Hutchison's lab in the hopes that new effects may present
themselves as Hutchison continues his experiments. Unlike the vast majority
of stock-footage taken of the Hutchison-Effect taken with primitive
home-recording equipment in the early 1980's, Berndt is filming with
contemporary digital recording equipment and intends to immediately upload
any new manifestations of the effect to the web within hours of recording
them.

The Hutchison-Effect was investigated extensively during the 1980's by a
scientific team from the Stanford Research Institute, which reported its
findings to Col. John Alexander (INSCOM) for review by the Central
Intelligence Agency. Col Alexander (ret.), has reported the findings of this
report as supporting the existence of the Hutchison-Effect, but was
ultimately unable to suggest any explanation for exactly how this effect was
caused.

stream is currently available, there may be a 2-day delay before the
Google-Video version is online.

Hi All:

The Vortex-Thruster was a new type of VTOL "jet engine" that I was working
on from 2002 through 2005. Our goal wasn't to produce lift with it, but
instead to validate the original inventor's claims about airflow, which in
turn suggested that this device could produce thrust with 20-times the
efficiency of a conventional jet engine.

I found several minutes of new high-res footage for this device the other
day, and combined it with my existing stock footage to produce a 25-minute
overview of our testing with this device. It's online in a Windows Media
streaming format, and documents both the progress of our testing and our
construction techniques to create a device that eventually produced up to
20-pounds of thrust using common-components scrounged from within the
garage.

With some assistance in hosting from the Open Source Energy Network, I've
now put all this footage online, complete with full narration, in the hopes
that if anybody wants to learn more about this project for future
replication efforts they can get a headstart based on our experiences. I
should note that the original inventor, Dr. Mikhail Goldshtik, passed away
in 1997. After his death, the University of Houston shelved the
Vortex-Thruster Project, meaning that this intellectual property is
essentially up for grabs for any inventor interested in taking it to the
next level.

Hi All:

As I mentioned in the email last night, "The Energetic Garage" has been
launched as a continuing-event every Saturday night, where we interview
inventors, scientists & engineers on breakthrough technology projects. This
Saturday we were joined by Andrew Palfreyman from the MLT Team and Bill Alek
about his energy-research technologies.

While the show is still working towards building a solid audience, it does
draw from both the OSEN & American Antigravity combined web-audiences, and
already has some broadcast interest from local radio-stations. Thus, we're
hoping to use this as yet another channel to help your ideas reach the
public, and in return help the public to understand the value of the work
that you're doing.

This is how we can benefit you with this new forum:

1. Firstly, if you have video that you'd like to put up for the public
online, please email me at tventura6@...
<BLOCKED::mailto:tventura6@...>  to learn about how we can process
this for you into a streaming format. I can personally work with VHS & a
variety of digital-media formats, although DVD is sometimes a pain to work
from. This will help to showcase your work to a targeted audience that cares
about your research and wants to learn more about it, as well as provide an
easy reference that you can provide friends, family, and potential funders.

2. Second, we've taken the same channel that we broadcast the weekly show on
and added 24x7 streaming video coverage of all our work. This is a
collection of both OSEN & American Antigravity's interview, research, and
other footage, and we plan to continue adding new material as we create it.
The url for "The OSEN Channel" is: http://stream.osen.org/eg/
<BLOCKED::http://stream.osen.org/eg/>

3. Third, if you'd like to be a guest on an upcoming show, please email me
so that we can discuss scheduling. Being a guest only requires a phone, but
as we demonstrated on Saturday night, if you have a web-cam we can put that
on-screen during the interview as well. Of course, during the show we always
welcome audience call-ins & postings on our live chat-board, so there are a
number of ways to participate!

4. The miscellaneous stuff that you might not have considered: got a product
to plug? Send us a sample or some info about it. Doing a fundraiser for a
project or organization? Let us know and we can mention it on-air. Got a
show topic or guest that you think people should know about? Get the info to
us and we can figure something out.

The point is to engage the community in sharing resources to help us all
solve challenges that might be too great for us individually. As inventors,
engineers, scientists & activists you are the stars -- make the most of it
and let us know how we can provide a great service for you online!

Hi All:

I should apologize for the delay in not getting material up sooner -- it
looks like I'll have between 15 and 20 STAIF Conference videoclips online
within the next couple of weeks. They take a while to process, so it's slow
going -- but the information content of this conference makes it worth it!

Our first interview online is with the former Chief Scientist of the
hypersonic NASP project -- Professor Paul Czysz -- who joins us to talk
about a breakthrough concept for integrating clean nuclear fusion into an
advanced model of the aircraft

These videos are going up in a 340kbps Windows Media Streaming format,
although I am also compiling them onto a DVD to sell and hopefully raise
money to grow & expand our coverage of these remarkable technologies. The
DVD will have RealPlayer & probably Quicktime-format files in addition to
the Windows Media to provide diversity for people on alternative operating
systems.

Personally, I'd recommend the STAIF Conference to anyone interested in
cutting edge Antigravity, FTL, and breakthrough aerospace technology -- it's
becoming the premiere conference for this type of material, and the 2006
attendance cut across the typical BPP lines to include a number of
enthusiastic supporters from the mainstream aerospace community, in addition
to lots of expertise from the Open-Source community.

Anyhow, check out American Antigravity for the latest conference
coverage....I'll be adding several hours of video interviews over the next
few weeks.

Sincerely;

Hi All:

Not to worry -- I have a ton of interview footage from the conference to put
online, but this doesn't mean that we're changing our focus. However, this
conference covered such a diverse array of concepts that I will be focusing
on it for at least a couple of weeks. I also have several other stories
currently under development, so 2006 is shaping up to be a big year!!!

The 2006 abstracts are already online (you may have to paste the link below
back together: google often splits the lines):
http://www.americanantigravity.com/categories/Research/STAIF-Conference/2006
-Abstracts/

I was also able to put together a collection of about 8 hours of video in
post-presentation interviews that we'll be hosting with some help from
OSEN.ORG. This will be a WinMedia 10 streaming format, so it will require
DSL or Cable to run properly.

We're also going to turn this video into a product to help raise money for
the website. Our new capabilities & growing audience are showing us the
limits of our hosting-plan, so we're looking at options to boost bandwidth
to the point of becoming a full-media outlet for breakthrough science.
Obviously this isn't a cheap proposition -- at present, we're reaching
nearly 100 gigabytes of traffic per month, minus the off-site hosting for
our streaming video.

The TOP STORY from STAIF is the Woodward Effect experimental results -- of
the 4 replication experiments, 3 showed results and 1 showed nothing, so it
appears likely that in the next few months we'll begin to see better work
from this group as they move to phase 2 of larger-scale testing. What makes
it cool? Reactionless Propulsion, fully-based on conventional physics. What
makes it really cool? If you overdrive the device, it produces
negative-mass, which may someday be used to stabilize a wormhole for
communications or maybe even transportation applications.

Hi All:

I'm flying out to Albuquerque this morning, putting me a full day ahead of
the rush to get ready for the STAIF 2006 Conference. While this conference
unfortunately doesn't yet represent the massive bulk of indy-research going
on across the globe, it does present a good, rigorous introduction to at
least the portion of it being conducted by government & scientific
researchers who were able to publish their results in peer-review format for
the American Institute of Physics Journal.

I plan on taking considerable film to shoot hopefully several hours of
footage, and I'm going to try and work with the existing conference format
to capture presenters in an after-hours environment talking about their
concepts in a hopefully less restrictive atmosphere than you'd see on stage.
Plus, the conference is not allowing footage from inside the conference this
year, giving us no choice.

I plan on putting at least a portion of this online in streaming-media
format: definitely Windows Media, and I'm open to attempting an open-format
like the Google Video Beta as well. I believe that this conference will be a
truly landmark & historic event --both because of the breakthroughs being
presented, as well as in what peer-review acceptance means to all of us
about more open views on Breakthrough Propulsion in society at large.

Anyhow, I will at least attempt to provide a few running reports from the
conference as it happens, and I should begin putting video online in about a
week.

BTW -- I will be away from my PC during this time, so if you write in, say
"hi" to my wife Danielle, who's going to be checking my inbox to ensure it
doesn't overflow  :o)

Hi Everybody --

Now that we have the comment box on American Antigravity, I've found that I
get a fair number of visitors posting their entire theories or experimental
ideas into the comment box, rather than just emailing them to me. I see
these postings either way, and since people take the time to write it up, I
figured that I should begin reposting these snippets into the blog section,
which I'll call "IndyWatch".

I guess this could be a tool to help keep things fresh & exciting - it's not
going to be a heavily filtered section, and the idea is to present the ideas
in a raw, unprocessed format as a "work in progress" (which is how they
usually come in).

If you have anything that you'd like to submit, a few paragraphs is all that
I need, and I can put it up for our audience. No political or religious
commentary, please. Feel free to just email it to me at the address below
:o)

Hey Everybody:

Ok, first I should apologize for not being live in our TV-webcast yet: I've
completely lost my voice, and OSEN is waiting for a new studio mixer that
was supposed to arrive 2 days ago. Oh well -- we've been scripting out our
show, and been in other talks about how to add more content (as in maybe
other shows after ours is established...)

Second, and VERY COOL, is an online flash-video that I've posted a link to
from American Antigravity. It's from a place called GSF Projects in the UK,
and they have a tiny Coanda-Effect UAV that just may be the most
maneuverable little craft that I've ever seen fly. Plus, it's shaped like a
classic Adamski-style UFO, which is just neat...the link is up at American
Antigravity.

We're also continuing to work the funding angle of things on this end: my
hope obviously is to find a contributor who can help us put in place a
larger infrastructure. Staff writers would be cool, and obviously this
TV-thing is something that we'd like to onboard at some point, which we can
do without competing with OSEN's existing efforts.

However, if not, we're going to take the more traditional path to selling
advertising. I've been able to put our ad-box on the site without offending
too many people, and plan to sell ad-space for $250 a month, which is a deal
since some of that is tax-deductible.

Hi Everybody --

I'd like to say thanks to everyone for the outstanding response that we had
on Saturday night to our test & setup show for the Energetic Garage webcast.
Even without well publicizing the event, and certainly without much planning
beforehand, we had a sizeable audience tuning in, and some great call-ins
from Brian Feeney, Richard C. Hoagland, John Hutchison, and Bill Alek.

We're planning to officially launch the show next Monday, and I'm going to
begin booking guests this week. Our goal is to provide a stable daily
environment for community interaction, as well as provide an interactive
forum for energy & space news and current events.

As for American Antigravity, I think that we're up to something like 25
video-clips online, all in Windows Media format, and I have several more to
add in the near future. Additionally, I hope to add a variety of new
materials at this year's STAIF conference, to hopefully provide some
additional insight into the papers & concepts being presented there, or at
least present a different perspective on all this material.

I just received another follow-up from one of the event planners that we
contacted last year about setting up a BPP / AG conference. It's a good
idea, but one that we've neglected due to the growing popularity of the
STAIF Conference. Is STAIF going to become our central community gathering
to bring everyone together in one place? If so, then we should promote that
as being our primary forum to bring the community together, and perhaps work
a bit more on adding some additional post-conference events to engage the
larger community who might be interested in attending but not presenting
formal papers.

This year, that means a post-conference get together at Richard C.
Hoagland's house on the 17th or 18th to talk about community leadership. If
you're interested in attending, it may require bumping your airline & hotel
a day further out in Albuquerque.

Finally, since everybody's probably read the recent New Scientist article on
Heim Theory, I thought that it would be interesting to reflect on the
general scientific ignorance about this theory conveyed by the authors. I
think that we can take from this the idea that for whatever reason, these
hyperdimensional theories of physics truly are uncharted territory for new
ideas, but also that we as a community can provide a valuable service to the
larger scientific community by providing educational materials to help
science better understand the concepts that these theories express.

From what I've seen, the better part of the aerospace industry is bored with
the status quo, and open to new & innovative ideas for the future of the
industry. Nick Cook has elaborated on this point, suggesting that it may be
the only way to attract new blood to an aging industry. Given the sharp rise
in BPP interest over the last few years, even despite the financial
constraints imposed by our economy and troubles in the middle east, it bodes
well for the future of the space-industry in general to see so many people
getting involved with previously undervalued approaches to innovative
technologies.

I repeatedly hear comments about the patent office nearly being closed in
the 19th century because they believed that all the innovative ideas had
already been found: most people focus on this as being ignorance in the
period, but I'd like to focus on the fact that this plateau in the
technology of the day didn't last very long. Similarly, I suspect that what
we currently see as a type of stagnation in science only serves to set the
stage for breakthroughs so profound that they're difficult to imagine today,
but will be looked back upon as the foundation for a new technology in the
decades to come. After all, the history of the 20th century is finished--
opening a blank page to begin writing the history of a new century in the
process.

Hi All:

I just posted the 2.5 minute Chukanov-Energy ZPE-Generator video, as well as
my interview with Pete Bitar on the future of XADS non-lethal beam-weapons
technologies.

We are planning a dry-run on the morning-show's video equipment tomorrow
(Saturday) afternoon -- I should be posting a link for call-ins along with
our video-feed URL before we begin, scheduled for 5pm. This will be an
informal test, and we're just hoping to chat with the audience & take call

Hi Everybody:

January is usually the beginning of the big slowdown for alt-science on the
web, but the recent story about Heim Theory in NewScientist Magazine is
sending us a ton of traffic, and I've added several stories on Heim Theory
to try and meet the demand.

Additionally, with a big thank-you to the Open-Source Energy Network, we've
been able to load longer, higher-res video-files than we could host by
ourselves. Recent footage includes the following:

1. New Hutchison Footage (36 minutes)
2. TeslaTech Presentation on AG-research (1 hour)
3. Searl Effect Presentation (1 hour)
4. GEET Engine Demo & Interview (15 minutes)

I have some additional clips that might be of interest -- such as Sterling
Allan's demo of the Perendev & Bedini motors, as well as Tom Valone speaking
on the subject of the Biefeld-Brown Effect. These new clips should be online
in the next day or two, and all of our broadband video is in Windows Media
streaming-format.

Our morning-show idea is coming along: Matthew Carson, Marcus Cameron and
myself have been testing audio & video links for the last week, and we're
nearly finished coming up with a great show format to engage the daytime
audience in space & tech news as well as new interviews.

Additionally, I will be adding interviews with Pete Bitar on Non-Lethal Beam
Weapons & Mel Winfield on the early days of the Hutchison Effect in the near
future.

Sincerely;

Hi All:

I just posted 2 new Hutchison clips (a 10mb remix & a 36-minute overview of
the effect), as well as a 56-minute overview of the Searl Effect from a
Denver 1994 conference. These are hosted in streaming format by OSEN, and
should play well in Windows Media Player, unless your firewall prohibits
this (in some corporate instances).

Hi All:

I've published several new interviews & articles online at American
Antigravity recently -- I guess that you might say that I'm on a publishing
spree, but it's really driven by the tons of great information out there
that needs to be covered. More Philadelphia Experiment & Nazi-Bell stuff,
but also a LOT more on hard-science, including interviews on Torsion Physics
with some of the world's most respected physicists.

At present I'm limited in how much I can cover ...and there's always more
going on that I don't have time to write up, but wish that I had. My
solution to this is hopefully to hire a couple of staff-writers this year,
and hopefully rebuild the website yet again into a larger, higher-capacity
site that can provide better coverage of not only AG research, but also the
alt-space industry & policy issues.

So one of our tasks is to look for monthly sponsors - possibly from small
business interested in being associated with our 2.8 million person
audience. In any case, we're hoping that you could ask around a bit -- if
you or somebody that you know would be interested in sponsorship on a
monthly rate, it would help us grow & expand to produce more coverage on the
emerging revolution in breakthrough space & AG research.

Dear All:

Well, I guess that it's official -- we're starting to get into Torsion
Physics at American Antigravity. This has been a difficult topic since day
#1, because the physics is so difficult -- however, what I'm working on
achieving are overview-level articles & interviews to help express the
important concepts without the confusion of the equations themselves.

Paul Murad has just finished an introductory-level article on this topic
explaining some of the key ideas in it, and I've interviewed Jack Sarfatti,
the renowned physicist working on a specialized version of Torsion Theory.
Stay tuned, because we're also adding an in-depth interview by physicist
Gennady Shipov on these ideas in the next week.

This may all sound very obscure, but it's actually a direct extension of the
work that I did on the Nazi-Bell story. The World-War II era research is
great, but I'm not a historian: I want to put these ideas into practical
use. Thus, after a bit of research, I found that the ideas from Einstein's
Unified Field Theory evolved into a healthy body of Torsion Research
beginning in the 1960's, and lasting into contemporary mainstream physics.

What's this all telling us? First, that good ideas are never lost -- just
sometimes overlooked. Also, it helps us to break away from the 1940's-era
work and once again get into some material with relevance to our present day
scientific environment.

What's after this? Well, my interview with Dr. Lisa Randall last week was a
tentative step towards transitioning from Torsion-Theory to String & Brane
Theories, although they are still very speculative, and thus will require
additional time to mature. My hope is that by engaging these scientists to
dream about next-generation transportation systems, we can incorporate all
of this scientific research into some near-term ideas for breakthrough
propulsion.

Dear Everybody:

Hope that you're doing well in the "silly season" -- Fall has always been
the busy season for AG research, and our goal is to add in-depth coverage of
the prestigious STAIF conference as a February crescendo to a busy year's
events. We'll cover a few of the important year's events below, as well as
how you can help us move things forward:

1. STAIF Pledge Drive: First & foremost, we need your help. American
Antigravity's been offered the opportunity to attend the annual STAIF
conference, featuring the best & brightest minds in gravity-modification and
BPP research. The total cost of this conference will exceed $1,500, and
while we're working on some strategies to cover the cost financially, I'd
also like to collect a pledge-donations to help us attend. Our last
pledge-drive to cover the legal costs of non-profit incorporation showed how
strong your dedication to breakthrough technologies really are, and in the
case of STAIF, the benefit will be somethine more tangible: expert reporting
on the event, as well as some additional details that I'll cover below. I
may focus a bit more on the pledge drive in an upcoming email, but if you
can donate anything to help us, it will go towards the goal of attending
this very important event as a representative of the Open-Source community.

2. Evolving Roles & Leadership: I'd mentioned that STAIF is important, but
it's not just because it's the only formal scientific venue for
journal-published papers on gravity-modification. There's another reason,
also -- we'e sponsoring a leadership meeting after the conference to discuss
how we can better support emerging technologies like Antigravity research.
We've invited industry, news, and scientific leaders to this event to shape
an infrastructure to support Antigravity research, and our hope is to build
solid bridges at this event to help both the community set goals &
priorities for future research.

American Antigravity works with a lot of scientists & innovators in
AG-research, and because we're the public face for this resarch, it's only
natural that people would begin looking to us for more than just news &
reporting on the technology. Likewise, we owe it to the innovators -- and we
owe it to you -- to apply our leadership skills to create a better
environment that fosters & appropriately values this research. Thus, the
leadership conference is a tool for our community to interact with the
bastions of mainstream science & government who will ultimately validate
this research for the world's benefit.

3. NASA Presentation: In Mid-December, American Antigravity will be
presenting an Open-Source BPP proposal to NASA Administrator Dr. Mike
Griffin. We've already had exchanges with him about this, and he's given us
the unique opportunity to at least have our case heard before NASA. The goal
is to build bridges between government space-research and our community's
vast collection of Open-Source expertise. The presentation is a
collaborative effort including Nick Cook, The Enterprise Mission, and a
number of gov't & industry expert opinions. Our goal is to send a powerful
message: NASA can benefit from working with the American public, so long as
they value the public's input & respect community values. Simultaneously,
the Open-Source community can benefit from NASA, so long as we don't
abdicate our leadership responsibilities to the whim's of government
funding.

4. New Look & Audience Metrics: This July, I rebuilt American Antigravity
using a new, database-driven news-tool that allows us to spend more time
writing, and less time designing HTML. The old website worked well, but
required a time-intensive publication process. Thus, as we now have the
tools to publish more effectively, you'll notice that the website has a lot
more content, and higher-quality material as well, since we can now focus
more on expanding the details of each story. The result has been staggering:
we're now reaching an average of over 2.1 million visitors a year, and we've
been able to add searchability & organizational features to improve
usability for the entire site.

5. 2006 Funding & Infrastructure Goals: Our community efforts in 2005 led to
the realization that one of the biggest contributions we can make to this
emerging field of research is building the infrastructure to support
innovation. Thus, one of our primary goals in 2006 is going to be working on
funding to develop American Antigravity's news-assets to fully cover the
scope of research underway. One of our goals this year was to collect
funding to allocate to experiments, but we weren't able to solidify a source
for that (although we came close!). Thus, we're going to continue our quest
to make 2006 the year that it all comes together, with the hopes that our
added responsibilities as a media-organization may put to rest some of the
concerns that usually come from the financial community.

6. Upcoming Media: We've tentatively scheduled an appearance on Coast to
Coast AM to update their audience on some of our newer findings, as well as
to share some of our community-goals & beliefs with them. Hopefully this
will be a venue to address some of the more interesting physics that we're
finding, as well as support our lobbying efforts for NASA and other
mainstream organizations. It's all about building bridges...and our hope is
by crossing the traditional culture-gaps between mainstream & alt-science,
we can build a public appeal that's inclusive enough to overcome decades of
divisiveness & compartmentalization.

7. New Physics: On a personal note, my recent interview with Dr. Lisa
Randall showed just how obscure some of the physics relating to Antigravity
research truly is. I've had the opportunity to learn a variety of
perspectives on this from the leading scientists & innovators in AG research
in the field, but I sometimes worry that the bits & pieces of what I'm
learning don't always come through clearly to the audience.  Thus, I'm
planning a major upcoming expose on Torsion-physics, which should hopefully
provide a better focus not only on the top-level physics at work, but also
on the underlying concepts that allow technologies like AG to function.
Don't worry - this won't be an equation paper. My goal is to provide the
best information that I can, and write it for readability: if you're still
interested in equations after that, I'll make sure to reference them for
innovators looking for additional material.

Dear All:

Great news for fans of American Antigravity! With the assistance of Matthew
Carson & the Open-Source Energy Network, we're now able to show you
full-length Windows Media format video online, providing a depth and scope
of coverage on emerging technologies never before available!

If you've got a high-speed connection such as DSL, Cable, or your on a Local
Area Network, you'll be able to enjoy longer video clips than the
music-videos that we've used in the past.

Our test video is a streaming-media file containing our Discovery
International out-take footage from April 2005. This hour-long clip contains
excerpts from over 4-hours of filming that we did in April 2005 for WagTV,
which is currently being produced for Discovery International & UK. It's a
two part clip: the first is raw interview footage with myself & Gary
Stephenson on AG & BPP research & concepts in physics research -- the second
part is a segment with Lifter demonstration footage.

This raw footage is unprocessed, and contains a big-picture view of the AAG
interview that you may be seeing on Discovery International/UK in the near
future.

I'm going to label our broadband segments as "for Broadband" to ensure that
our audience is aware of the file size -- however, our WinMedia 10
compression is a streaming format, which means that if you have a good
connection, it should begin playing in streaming mode during the download
process. On my home-system, it seems to only have a 10-second delay.

I'm building the links as we speak, so check out American Antigravity's
homepage for details!

BTW -- Background info: Matthew Carson is the CEO of OSEN, Inc (Open Source
Energy Network) -- this Vancouver-based non-profit is dedicated to providing
the highest-quality information in emerging energy technologies, and
features content by Sterling D. Allan on breakthrough & emerging energy
technologies. OSEN is the world-leader in new-energy research, news, and
reporting, and offers a new, feature-rich site online at:

Dear All:

Jim Cosgrove pointed out that the link on our new poll is wrapping due to
the Yahoo newsgroup, which cuts off the end of the link.

We're really trying to gather feedback on this one -- I'm actually planning
on sending it to NASA in the next month as part of a larger presentation.

Sorry about the inconvenience: this poll will be an effective demonstration
for NASA that they can trust the public to make informed decisions about the
future of research, and it will be a move towards building a more open,
accessible community that spans both government, industry, and private
organizations like AAG.

If you can access the main American Antigravity web-page, you can open the
poll from there (it's the first item for today).

Tell Us What You Think!

For the latter part of the 1990's, NASA financed Marc Millis and the
Breakthrough Physics Propulsion group to investigate anomalous phenomenon
that might lead to new propulsion technologies. They closed this project in
2002, and we're looking for your feedback about what it did right, and what
it could do better...

NASA supported the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project to seek the
ultimate breakthroughs in space transportation: (1) propulsion that requires
no propellant mass, (2) propulsion that attains the maximum transit speeds
physically possible, and (3) breakthrough methods of energy production to
power such devices.  Topics of interest include experiments and theories
regarding the coupling of gravity and electromagnetism, the quantum vacuum,
hyper fast travel, and super luminal quantum effects. Because the propulsion
goals are presumably far from fruition, a special emphasis is to identify
affordable, near-term, and credible research that could make measurable
progress toward these propulsion goals.

It should be noted that the BPP Project was the only officially sanctioned
NASA effort to research cutting edge technologies like Antigravity &
FTL-drives. Since the closure of the BPP Project, the landscape of AG
research has matured into a massive Open-Source effort that could now
greatly benefit from a liason project to interact in an official capacity
with NASA, leading us to wonder if perhaps there might not be several
benefits to resurrecting the project to capitalize on the latest & greatest
in bleeding-edge space technology research.

Cast your vote in our online poll, and instantly see how your results stack
up against our audience feedback!

Dear All:

I had a few questions about why we've put the Hutchison DVD in Windows Media
10 format, so here is an overview of the reasoning:

Our original footage started out as a compilation of 6 DVD's in MPEG2 format
-- this is extremely difficult to work with because it's a new & emerging
video standard, and while our editing equipment can import it, it's a
challenge to process efffectively. American Antigravity is a non-profit, and
we don't yet have the extensive media-instrastructure for large-scale video
production. DVD footage is spindled into a massive file that the DVD-player
decodes, so even the process of importing it to make edits changes the data
to some degree. Recompressing it to DVD at this point wouldn't make sense.

From these 6 DVD's, we have nearly 3 hours of footage,and nearly 1,000
photos from our trip. If I put this onto a standard DVD, it would require
cutting the resolution of the footage, as well as severely limiting the way
that we present the photos.

Windows Media Player 10 was the choice for presenting this footage for a
number of reasons:

1. Most personal computers already have WinMedia onboard -- if you use
auto-update, you already have Windows Media Player 10 installed.

2. MPEG2 format usually requires some type of special codec, and there are
severe limits to how well it will compress. Transferring this footage to an
MPEG1 format would reduce compression even further, and make the picture
more blurry.

3. Unlike RealPlayer, Windows Media doesn't take over your system when you
install/play it. For instance, the RealOne player wants all sorts of
customer information when you install it, and once it's loaded it creates a
massive footprint that dramatically impacts your computer's system
performance. This is something that RealNetworks did beginning with the
"RealOne" player, but they've limited their codecs so that you can no longer
compress to the older formats.

4. Windows Media offers the best onboard compression on the market, because
they're currently competing with RealNetworks to become the next-generation
"standard" for streaming media. Thus, they're producing a top-quality
product that almost never crashes, and they're releasing it for free in
order to build marketshare.

Using Windows Media 10 means that our video compressed to fit on a single
DVD without any loss to picture quality, and it left room on the disk for
all of the photos that we took. I also recompressed our audio-interviews
from last year and added them as well, as they are a great technical
overview of what John's research is all about -- with expert analysis by Ted
Gagnon during the joint interview.

I realize that a lot of people have an axe to grind against using Microsoft
products -- and as a Unix SysAdmin I can identify with many of the
complaints. However, please trust me that I've tried all of the audio/video
options available and Windows Media really is the best one currently
available.

Dear Everyone:

I'm proud to announce that we just completed compiling the ultimate
"Hutchison-Effect" DVD-Rom, which we're selling for $29.99 + $5 S&H at
American Antigravity. As you may know, John's been extensively covered by
the media, so in our case we set out to conduct a lengthy, informal
interview process that gets the details that you just won't see on-air. We
use PayPal for secured transactions, which also accepts Visa, Mastercard,
and American Express for people who don't have a PayPal account.

HUTCHISON DVD-LINK:
http://www.americanantigravity.com/articles/268/1/Hutchison-2005%3A-The-Ulti
mate-DVD

This DVD is meant for your computer -- not for standalone players, because
it contains Windows Media 10 format audio and video files. It also contains
nearly a thousand photos in JPEG format. Before purchasing it, check your
system to ensure that you have a DVD-compatible drive installed.

DVD-ROM CONTENTS:

>>> Interview Footage: The point of the trip was to interview John Hutchison
-- to get a unique perspective on the man behind the effect, as well as to
get some great photos of the environment that he lives, works, and plays in.
We came away with over 2.5 hours of footage, in which we speak with John
about where his research has been in the past, and where it's going for the
future!


>>> Classic Footage: Ready for action? We've included high-res footage of
the classic Hutchison-Effect, including levitation and Antigravity effects,
the jellification of metals such as aluminum, steel, and brass, as well as
the profound effects of the Hutchison-Effect on a variety of materials
including metals, plastics, liquids, solvents, and common household items.
This is the profound and disturbing footage that you've seen on TV,
remastered from a number of sources, including the rare overview bootleg
created by George Hathaway in 1993.


>>> Audio Interviews: We've digitally-reprocessed over 2.5 hours of audio
interviews from 2004, including a joint interview with John Hutchison and
Ted Gagnon on the subject of resonant frequencies, homeopathy, and Gagnon's
plan to control the Hutchison Effect through the use of Bearden's Quantum
Potential Envelope technology.


>>> Photo Gallery: This DVD contains over 950 photographs, detailing every
aspect of our interview experience with John Hutchison. Our goal was to
capture his research in a more in-depth manner than anybody had previously
attempted, and we achieved this by focusing on the people and their
interactions. These photos are all in jpeg format, and include John's
laboratory, equipment, and lots of people shots to put you into the
interview unlike anything that's come before! Over 150 of our photos are
high-res closeup shots of the famous metal-samples, and include shots of
aluminum, steel, and brass samples that have been changed by the
Hutchison-Effect. If you've seen these on TV and wanted a closer look, then
these are just what you've been looking for!

Dear All:

After a Saturday trip to visit John Hutchison, I returned with over 400
photos and over an hour of video interview footage. I've attached a set of
sample photos showing the effect on Steel, Brass, and Aluminum bars & rods.
I've tried to include at least 1 distance & 1 closeup shot for each type of
material, as well as a couple of photos for Colby Harper, Mike Shafer,
Harold Berndt, and his two sons.

  <http://www.americanantigravity.com/graphics/Hutchison-Photos-Sept05.zip>
http://www.americanantigravity.com/graphics/Hutchison-Photos-Sept05.zip

We also captured over an hour of video on my handycam, nearly as much on
Mike's handycam, and 400+ photographs altogether of the team, our trip, John
himself, and the variety of sample materials that he presented us with.

John addresses the "PK/psychic" criticism in-depth, and ultimately states
that it was the only way to keep the research open without having a TS/SCI
classification attached to it (during the hay-dayof the Reagan
Administration).

Also, several of us talked with John about creating a public effort to raise
funds to buy/rent him a lab-location where he could begin experimenting with
the Hutchison-Effect again on a regular basis. We'd need to find a
benefactor for the space & electricity, but realistically John's entire cost
of setup in the Vancouver OR USA would pale in comparison to even minimal
startup-company research costs...and the value of his research would far
outweigh the expense of helping him perform the work.

I'm going to be sending out a few copies of both the interviews & complete
high-res photos on DVD, and I am taking requests for copies, depending on
who wants them. If you're only moderately interested, please consider
contributing to AAG a bit via PayPal, since these cost about $5 per copy to
make & send. I'm deducting the expense from the corporate account as a
promotional CODB, basically so that Danielle doesn't kill me for putting it
on the family cash-card. If you like John's work, you might consider
contributing a bit to his research as well (and if it's a choice, I'd rather
compensate him than myself).

I can also email you more photos, if you're interested -- I have a broadband
account, so the upload time is minimal. Please realize that I can't send
them all though, since I have a 5 meg limit on email attachments (except for
Comcast customers: 10mb).

In terms of closeups, we've been able to do significantly better than
anybody that came before us: I actually scratched my lens bumping it against
John's samples, and that was with the telephoto zoomed in. I was able to get
much more detail on the surface & interior structure of these samples than
I've seen in the past, and shot a mixture of IR-mode and standard
light-setting shots to show it in as much detail as possible.

Finally, at present, I don't have Mike's DVD footage on tape, but I should
have this by the middle of next week. Just an FYI -- I was focused on John,
so I literally have no idea what Shafer was shooting, but my hope is that he
was able to get good shots of the equipment that I wasn't focusing on, as
well as the hope that if he got me on camera, that the camera might take off
the extra 10-pounds from this summer  :o)

Feel free to forward this around!

Dear All:

I've completed loading the abstracts for all of the NASA BPP 2001 materials
onto American Antigravity. They're in a database, making them sortable &
searchable, and they all have links back to the AIAA reference website.

http://www.americanantigravity.com/categories/Research/NASA-BPP-2001/

My goal is to put STAIF & Mitre in the same format online: this creates an
online resource for these materials and presents a good view of this
research in an easily-accessible online forum.

BTW -- Many thanks to Gary Stephenson: these are his well-written notes from
the conference that I'm working from!

Dear All:

I've just finished adding a messageboard to American Antigravity.Com -- this
is intended to give our otherwise fragmented community a place to meet &
exchange notes on theory, research, business-aspects of AG research, and
breakthrough physics engineering & technology.

The URL is: http://cybermessageboard.hypermart.net/tventura/

I've included sections for theory, experiments, and business -- I believe
that these are really the important key aspects to making commercial
antigravity a practical reality.

We're trying to keep the diatribes down in this group -- our postings are
short & sweet, and we're not allowing religious or political themes in this
group (if you post on these, beware!). However, it is a reflection of
community interest in breakthrough technologies, and a great central
resource for new material.

Dear All:

Pete Bitar, the founder of XADS, notified me this morning that the XADS
Non-Lethal products will be featured on the Discovery Channel's "The Science
of Star Wars", airing tonight at 8pm PST.

I've put up links to his site and the Non-Lethal PDLP (Personal Defense
Laser Pointer) device on American Antigravity, which you can access from the
main page of the news section.

First, an apology for not giving you advance notice, and second, many thanks
for your continuing patience while we iron out the bugs in turning AAG into
a non-profit that the entire community can be proud of.

Our PDLP page is online at:

....(Metaphorically Speaking):

One of the tasks that I've undertaken in the last few days has been in
rebuilding the product pages for American Antigravity -- I've added a few
new deals, such as a sponsorship-special with Wireless Conceptions for
DirecTV & Dish Network, as well as updating the pages for the CD-Rom & other
products. I'm also going to be adding several more pages in the near future
for additional products, including project video that's too large for the
existing CD-Rom as well as laser-dazzler's from XADS.

http://www.americanantigravity.com/products.shtml

The push for products is another method for raising business-capital for
building the AG technologies that the 21st century requires, which brings me
to another point: we need to refocus our efforts on experimental work.

Over the last year I've invested a lot of time in interviews, stories, and
physics research, but at the expense of the real-life engineering work that
made American Antigravity a success to begin with. The time is at hand to
once again begin building and testing devices, and I plan to use the capital
we raise from selling products (as well as that from donations) to begin
constructing new technologies over the summer and beyond.

What to look for? There are a variety of ideas that we've been considering
-- many of them pure AG-devices, but others more conventional in nature. The
best example was last-year's stunning success with the Mass-Driver, which is
featured online at the link below, and represents pushing the limits of
conventional technology to the next level.

http://www.americanantigravity.com/massdriver.shtml

How Can You Help? Building these projects takes equipment, and much of it is
specialized. Donations are helpful, but one area that I've been told is very
helpful are equipment donations -- simply put, it's easier for companies to
donate used equipment for a writeoff than to sign a check, and its another
way to build up the tooling for bigger & better projects in the future.

Grant opportunities & product opportunities are also something that we're
looking into -- if you have any leads or ideas, please forward them to my
email address listed below.
