NASA’s Field Resonance Propulsion Concept
Did NASA invent a flying disc in the 70s?
I was scrolling through #ufotwitter today and came across a post by Brian Johnson. I was intrigued.
NASA has some ‘splainin to do:https://t.co/UfSbcQvgTt#leakit#ufotwitter

The link connected to a PDF on NASA’s own website and showed what appears to be a document, dated August 1979, describing a concept for what was called “Field Resonance Propulsion.”
It begins with a Foreword by NASA researcher Alan C. Holt explaining that the concept described was “developed as the result of private, unofficial research. NASA is not involved in UFO research.”
It goes on, however, to say that the research “could result in the verification of the essential elements of this concept and in feasibility studies concerning the development of a new generation of NASA spacecraft.”
The next page describes the concept as having “been developed based on a proposed resonance between coherent, pulsed electromagnetic wave forms and gravitational wave forms.”
I’m not going to pretend to understand what this exactly means, but the very next sentence states that a system “capable of galactic and inter-galactic travel without prohibitive ‘travel times’ has been designed” using this propulsion concept.
The concept used then-current “research into the causes of solar flares, magnetic substorms, black holes, quasars, and UFOs”.
The concept was based on assumptions that “space-time is a ‘projection’ of a higher dimensional space” and that “a relationship exists between electromagnetic/hydromagnetic fields and gravitational fields.”
These assumptions are described as being supported as true by some astrophysical data.
Interestingly, the document goes on to explain that the “UFO phenomena may be due to extraterrestrial visitors, parapsychological experiences, or a combination of the two.”
Describing the typical UFO sighting as having “high speed, right angle turns, abrupt stops or accelerations” as well as other commonly described tropes of the phenomena, the document suggests that “UFOs may generate an artificial gravitational field or otherwise use properties of space-time which we are not familiar with.”
The paper goes on to theorize that UFO propulsion systems may “involve electromagnetic or hydromagnetic processes” citing the evidence of “burns, dehydration, stopping of automobile surfaces, power disruptions, and static electricity effects.”
So by citing these evidences, are they indirectly admitting them to be factual events?
The document then goes into the history of the concept of such propulsion systems which involves studies in physics, astrophysics and UFO studies in addition to the discovery and study of black holes and quasars.
The explanations here go a bit over my head, but feel free to read the document yourself. The drawings and graphics that follow are interesting to say the least.
So what do you think? Did the the concept take off?
Are these “winged discs” flying around in the skies today (with human pilots)?
Or was this all just some theoretical mumbo jumbo that existed only due to wishful thinking by some physicists with time on their hands?
