The Navy Speaks Up About Its “UFO Patent” Experiments
Article by Brett TIngley February 1, 2021 (thedrive.com)
• After reporting on the bizarre saga of the US Navy’s “UFO” patents by Dr. Salvatore Pais for over a year and a half, The War Zone has finally gotten an on-the-record comment from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD). In a nutshell, NAWCAD concluded in September 2019 that the “Pais Effect” could not be proven. The Navy has washed its hands with Dr. Pais and his unproven patents, and all research on them has now been taken up by the US Air Force.
• The “Pais Effect” is a theoretical concept for generating high-intensity electromagnetic fields that could lead to breakthroughs in power generation and advanced propulsion, including a futuristic “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft” or ‘HAUC’ (which might have explained the ‘Tic Tac UFO’ that was in the news in 2018).
• The US Navy’s NAWCAD took Dr. Pais’ theories seriously enough to vouch for him to the US Patent Office and to assert that the Chinese had similar “operable” technology. The Navy invested $462,000 in researchers’ salaries plus $96,000 on “equipment, test preparation, testing and assessment” to test Dr. Pais’ patented ‘High Energy Electromagnetic Field Generator’ (HEEMFG) theories between October 2016 and September 2019. While a group of Navy researchers obviously got richer, Timothy Boulay, Communications Director at NAWCAD, confirmed that the “Pais Effect” could not be proven and no further research is being conducted by the US Navy.
• So the US Navy knew in September 2019 that Dr. Pais’ theories were a scientific dead-end, but waited until now to say so publicly. Every single physicist that The Drive’s ‘The War Zone’ contacted over two years said that there was no scientific reality to the ‘pseudo-scientific jargon’ found in Dr. Pais’ patents. Still, in November 2019, Dr. Pais assured The War Zone that his work “shall be proven correct one fine day…”
• The bizarre secrecy surrounding this entire endeavor remains remarkably odd. Not until we actually got the images, data, and slides about the program of record that attempted to prove Pais’ theories did the Navy confirm its demise. We may never know why.
After reporting on the bizarre saga of the Navy’s “UFO” patents by Dr. Salvatore Pais for over a year and a half, The War Zone has finally
gotten an on-the-record comment from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, or NAWCAD, about the scientist’s seemingly out-of-this-world work and the service’s equally strange outright support of it.
As we reported in our last piece, the science and technology branches of the Naval Aviation Enterprise and NAWCAD took the theories of Dr. Pais seriously enough not just to vouch for them at the highest levels to patent examiners, asserting Chinese advances in similar areas of research and that they were ‘operable’ in nature, but to also subsequently invest a significant amount of money and time into researching the so-called “Pais Effect.” This is a theoretical concept for generating high-intensity electromagnetic fields that could supposedly lead to hypothetical breakthroughs in power generation and advanced propulsion. Specifically, the Navy has now responded to inquiries related to the new documentation we uncovered in our most recent report that shows hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on Pais’s High Energy Electromagnetic Field Generator (HEEMFG) experiments, along with other details related to it.
Timothy Boulay, Communications Director at NAWCAD, confirmed several points to The War Zone by email:
– The High Energy Electromagnetic Field Generator testing occurred from October 2016 through September 2019;
– The cost was $508,000 over the course of three years. Around ninety percent of the total – $462,000 – was for salaries, while the
rest was used for equipment, test preparation, testing and assessment.
– When NAWCAD concluded testing in September 2019, the “Pais Effect” could not be proven.
– No further research has been conducted, and the project has not transitioned to any other government or civilian organization.
While we greatly appreciate the response to our queries, it remains unclear why NAWCAD was unwilling to speak with us until now if they knew all along these experiments resulted in what appears to be a scientific dead-end that resulted in no verification of any of Pais’s theories.
In addition to the statements above, Boulay added the following about the inventor of the Navy’s “UFO patents”:
The latest on Dr. Pais: you might remember that he left NAWCAD in June 2019 and moved to the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs organization. I found that he transferred to the U.S. Air Force this month.
We are still working with NAWCAD to determine where Pais was transferred within the research organizations of the USAF. Pais’s first move from NAWCAD to Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) office was somewhat interesting given that one of Pais’s most eyebrow-raising patents was for a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft.” SSP oversees the development and sustainment of the Navy’s nuclear-armed submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
