If someone has such super technology, why patent it so people can easily steal the idea with a google search? Why not keep it secret and use it to fuel a giddy ride to the top of the power hierarchy?

It's possible that just filing a patent does this.

1) become an employee somewhere that will pay for all your patent applications.

2) have some sort of reward system so that filed patent applications are counted positively on an employee review, or have a modest financial gain (some employees have from modest to substantial gains for filing patents)

3) have unofficial reward systems (such as peer respect) that also benefit the employee

4) "person with most filed patent applications" or "person with most really cool applications" leads to employee rise to power.

Exopolitics wrote the following, which I agree with: "Given what we know about secret space programs developed by the US Navy and Air Force respectively, electromagnetic propulsion systems have been used for decades in several crafts that operate both in space and underwater. The reason why Dr. Pais chose not to mark the patent applications secret was that senior Navy officials have decided the time had come for the…

What secret space programs?

The X-37 is the best example of one widely known to exist, without yet knowing all the details of its purpose and missions. It's pretty unlikely to be the only such program.

> Last week Rogan had Capt Fravor who was one of the alleged witnesses to the "tictac" video that the pentagon confirmed the legitimacy of 2 years ago. Worth watching if you're into this kind of thing. On Rogan's forum, I posted an explanation of how these Navy "UFOs" work. I've included a history of their progress and citations: https://old.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/dfehjt/an_explana...

Did your post get deleted? Anyone have a screengrab?

What did it say?

This was a really good podcast if you've been following this stuff, and cleared up many of the inquiries posted on HN. Some key points: - The object had been tracked for 2 weeks by radars: SPY-1 (ship) and E-2 (AWACS aircraft) - Pilot made naked-eye visual contact with the tic tac from above, watching it move over the water - There was a cross-shaped wake under it - It jammed their radar when they attempted a lock, w…

I'd be very interested to see what sort of jamming was used. What shape were those pulses? Incredibly interesting that whatever it was would know to jam radar.

You just triggered some intense deja vu. I had the exact same response after Pons and Fleischman's press conference back in the day. The lure of the magic-bullet/deus-ex-Machina, (that one device that will solve pretty much everything!), can be pretty intoxicating.

If it isn't real, I hope that the people that filed this spend some time in jail...

I don’t know about the legalities of this, so my question is, why?

I have witnessed, firsthand at a major research university, a DoD-funded patent application get pulled back under a secrecy order. It was never made public and all subsequent filings were halted.

If the IP described here is legitimate in terms of having any practical use or viability, it wouldn’t be published.

Just going off the titles, at least 1, 4 and 6 are possibly not bs. Laser augmented combustion is a thing, compression fusion like general fusion or first light fusion is a thing and if you use piezoelectricity to induce pressure, then at very high pressures some materials become superconductors near room temperature

3, as posted, is available off the shelf.

It goes by the trademarked name of "antenna". You can search in a store near you.

#5 is the most exciting. We used to call it "pendulum", but some people complain that they can't insulate the non-amplified signal.

I'm a taxpayer.

If they've produced technology that can revolutionize our lives, they have a responsibility to tell us about it. (We paid for it, after all!)

And if they're hoaxing, they have no right to spend taxpayer money on hoaxes, or to file false patents. (And there's no active war going on that would give them the legal right to make stuff up to confuse an enemy state.)

We need some crazy tech billionaire to fund development for a POC of one of these patents.

That none have should tell you something...

That they succeeded and were killed by saudi royals?

Yeah. To me this is the biggest indicator that it is of terrestrial origin.
