Physicist who co-founded the CIA/DIA-funded "Stargate" remote-viewing program at SRI International in 1972, and who, 38 years later, was primary author on a 2010 DIA-funded report on antigravity and warp-drive physics delivered through his own firm, EarthTech International, as part of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP). He matters to this vault as the clearest person-level throughline in its DoD-fringe-science-funding thread: a single named individual bridging two different fringe domains, 38 years apart, under the same standing institutional willingness to fund out-of-consensus research.
