Nasa validates 'impossible' space drive
Nasa validates 'impossible' space drive
August 4, 2014- Nasa is a major player in space science, so when a team from the agency this week presents evidence that "impossible" microwave thrusters seem to work, something strange is definitely going on. Either the results are completely wrong, or Nasa has confirmed a major breakthrough in space propulsion.
British scientist Roger Shawyer has been trying to interest people in his EmDrive for some years through his company SPR Ltd. Shawyer claims the EmDrive converts electric power into thrust, without the need for any propellant by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. He has built a number of demonstration systems, but critics reject his relativity-based theory and insist that, according to the law of conservation of momentum, it cannot work.
According to good scientific practice, an independent third party needed to replicate Shawyer's results. As Wired.co.uk reported, this happened last year when a Chinese team built its own EmDrive and confirmed that it produced 720 mN (about 72 grams) of thrust, enough for a practical satellite thruster. Such a thruster could be powered by solar electricity, eliminating the need for the supply of propellant that occupies up to half the launch mass of many satellites. The Chinese work attracted little attention; it seems that nobody in the West believed in it.
However, a US scientist, Guido Fetta, has built his own propellant-less microwave thruster, and managed to persuade Nasa to test it out. The test results were presented on July 30 at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Astonishingly enough, they are positive.
The Nasa team based at the Johnson Space Centre gave its paper the title "Anomalous Thrust Production from an RF [radio frequency] Test Device Measured on a Low-Thrust Torsion Pendulum". The five researchers spent six days setting up test equipment followed by two days of experiments with various configurations. These tests included using a "null drive" similar to the live version but modified so it would not work, and using a device which would produce the same load on the apparatus to establish whether the effect might be produced by some effect unrelated to the actual drive. They also turned the drive around the other way to check whether that had any effect.
EmDrive:China's radical new spacedrive
Back in the 90s, Nasa tested what was claimed to be an antigravity device based on spinning superconducting discs. That was reported to give good test results, until researchers realised that interference from the device was affecting their measuring instruments.
NASA says `impossible` space propulsion technology really works Monday, 4 August 2014 - 10:55am IST Place:WASHINGTON Agency: ANI Tweet Researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston have revealed that a microwave thruster system that requires no propellant...
In the late 60s, a mysterious creature known as Mothman terrorized Point Pleasant, WV. In this clip, shot exclusively to field test new video equipment used in Planet Weird, Greg and Dana take a midnight adventure to the secluded TNT bunkers where the monster is alleged to have made its home.
A UFO video captured in Milan, Italy on July 6, is making the rounds in the media. It appears to be a group of bright sparkly objects in the sky. The video is titled, “AMAZING! INCREDIBLE EBANI ON MILAN!! | SUNDAY 6 JULY 2014.” EBANI stands for Entidad Biological Anomalous No Identificada, or its English translation, Unidentified Anomalous Biological Entity, indicating that the man who videoed the object believes the UFO is a living being.
The video (seen above) was posted on YouTube on July 10, 2014. The description simply says, “Looking to the 3:53 ‘, recorded with Canon EOS 60D!!!”
The man who recorded the object is no stranger to UFO videos. His name is Antonio Urzi, and is known for having captured hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs from the skylight in his apartment in Milan. Many of his images appear too good to be true, which causes many to question their veracity. Some have claimed that many of his pictures and video are actually objects he places on his skylight window and films from below making them appear to be UFOs in the sky.
A UFO video sent to Openminds.tv by Urzi in April, 2010:
Often, skeptics note that there are rarely other people who claim to see these spectacular objects flying just over the city.
However, there are many others who believe Urzi is the real deal. One of those people is Mexican journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan. In March, 2010, Maussan held the World UFO Summit in Mexico City. One of the speakers was Urzi. Several times, outside of the conference, Urzi pointed up in the sky and claimed to see UFOs. I, along with my colleague Antonio Huneeus, were present with him on a couple of those occasions and saw the objects ourselves.
UFO photo taken over the World Trade Center in Mexico City in March, 2010. The objects were first spotted by Antonio Urzi. (Credit: Paola Harris).
The objects appeared to be small white orbs and sometimes traveled in groups. Waiting outside with a camera to see if I could spot one of these UFOs on my own, I was able to see a few of these objects. I actually caught one or two on video myself.
However, I think what I was seeing was balloons. They sell balloons on practically every street corner in Mexico City and many of them are the shiny silver Mylar type, which would appear like what I got in the video.
During that conference, a few of the Mexican UFO researchers showed videos of what they called EBANI. They explained that these were UFOs that were often long and moved strangely. They believed they were actual biological entities. They admitted that some of them looked like balloons, but that they moved in such strange ways that they could not have been merely balloons.
Is it possible that Urzi caught a string of balloons glistening in the sky in this latest viral UFO video? Or like some suggest, does Urzi have an uncanny ability to know when extraterrestrials will be flying by or purposely making their presence known? Take a look at this and other videos from Urzi on his YouTube channel and let us know what you think.
Recipient of MUFON's 2012 "Ufologist of the Year" award
Debunkers have had a field day with the Betty and Barney Hill UFO experience, disseminating so much false and misleading information over the past 45 years that most people have difficulty differentiating fact from fiction in this first publicized UFO close encounter and alien abduction. In her totally new PowerPoint Presentation, Kathleen Marden, their niece, takes on the pseudo-skeptics’ false claims and sets the record straight time and time again by presenting true verifiable evidence that proves the debunkers are wrong.
Kathleen Marden earned her B.A. in social work at the University of New Hampshire in 1971. Thereafter, she entered into graduate studies in Education at the University of Cincinnati. She began her professional career as a social worker and eventually entered the field of education as a teacher. Later, she was promoted to a supervisory position, coordinating education programs and supervising education staff. She left her job in 1990 to pursue a career as a UFO investigator, researcher and writer. She taught adult education classes on UFO and abduction history, and for 10 years volunteered as MUFON’s Director of Field Investigator Training. In 2003, MUFON publicly recognized Kathleen for her most outstanding contribution of advancing the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon by dedicating the MUFON UFO proceedings to her. Kathleen is currently a full time writer and lecturer. Her 2007 book Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, with coauthor Stanton T. Friedman, is a case study of Betty and Barney Hills’ 1961 UFO close encounter and abduction. Her new and exciting book with coauthor Stanton T. Friedman, Science Was Wrong is now available. www.kathleen-marden.com
Alexander’s presentation will include an insider’s view of how the U.S. government deals with UFOs and other phenomena with detailed explanation about specific events. While supporting the physical reality of UFOs, he will discuss some of the myths that have been built up over time. Noting that real disclosure has happened yet gone unnoticed, Alexander will examine disclosure and address its actual confirmation.
John Alexander is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and a leading advocate for the development of non-lethal weapons. For the first time anywhere his new book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, which provides a government insider’s look at the UFO phenomena, will be available. In his book, Alexander discusses the organization he created while on active duty to explore this topic. Comprised of members across the Department of Defense and aerospace industries, Alexander was surprised at what he learned when he briefed the leaders of many of these agencies. A very important aspect of this book is a description of how government agencies really work, and how an individual’s belief system impacts the organization’s operations. www.johnbalexander.com
The Canadian province of Saskatchewan is rife with UFO sightings.
UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski from the group UFOlogy Research told Canadian daily newspaperMetro, “Saskatchewan is very well represented in UFO reports over the past number of years.”
UFOlogy Research compiles UFO sighting data to publish an annual Canadian UFO Survey. The 2013 Canadian UFO Survey showed that more than forty percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were in the province of Ontario. And the typical sighting lasted approximately thirteen minutes. But the most interesting detail reveled by the 2013 data was that approximately fourteen percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were classified as unexplained.
Rutkowski recently informed Metro that the UFOlogy Research is currently working on a special Canadian UFO Survey report that will detail UFO sightings in Canada spanning the last twenty-five years. Although the group hopes to release this study within the next month, Rutkowski revealed to Metro, “Throughout the past 25 years, there are almost 700 UFO reports from Saskatchewan alone . . . That’s a little less than 5 per cent of the total number of cases in Canada.”
Here is an interactive map that allows you to explore where UFO sightings in Saskatchewan took place in 2013.
Rutkowski is searching for answers to explain these UFOs. As Metro reports, he views his search as an “interesting detective challenge” trying to identify unusual aerial objects. He explains, “In a small proportion of cases, a few per cent every year, we can’t come up with an explanation, and those are the ones that really fascinate us.”
Witness said: Thank you to watch my video. I show you how I capturing UFOs with IR. filter fitted camcorder and without filter.The first think before you starting searching the sky.1;using the Automata focus, zoom in the long distance object, than Lock the camera to manual focus.” Doing only when clear Sky.No cloud” Sometime the UFOs not visible on the eye, placing the I R. 850 Optical filter to your camcorder and turn your camera on the Night Shot, or Super Nightshot position,” Daylight capture!” I using a SONY.

Witness said: In the early morning went out on a balcony to breathe crisp air, something pushed on an idea to take picture sky. Did 2 pictures with a difference in 5-6 sec, then noticed a quickly retiring object which had time to get on these 2 pictures. Noise and high light was not observed. Round an object there is discharged of air, like plasma.
Haslett, MI – 7/31/2014: We have a game camera that we put up to observe the deer across the street from our house. My husband brought the disk in on Sunday which contained approximately 120 pictures over a 4 day period. On July 31 at 11:00pm beginning picture number 34, we had three pictures of 6 bright lights, all the same size and in a perfectly straight line, in the air. The lights stayed exactly the same except changed in height. The camera is motion activated and is set to take 3 consecutive shots and then go into a 5 minute timeout. In the next shot after the timeout the lights were no longer visible. We have had this camera up over the last 3 years and have never gotten anything even close to this. There was a deer in the shot which seemed to be running off. The camera faces an old driving range, so there are no roads or buildings that would be in the picture. – MUFON CMS
A man clutching an axe inside an old military frigate doesn’t make for your typical ghost story, nor does it make typical fodder for an internet hoax.
But a photograph showing a ghostly figure with an axe in his hand aboard a decommissioned military vessel on a dry dock has gained a lot of traction on social media sites.
Stevgoldhound, who posted the picture on Imgur yesterday, claims it was taken by a colleague of his called John who works as a dock foreman.
John apparently took the picture while snapping work areas and navigating deep within the ship with a torch. He didn’t see anyone while taking the images.
Another user of the site cleaned up the image and came up with this. Creepy huh?
‘Ghost with axe’ spotted on military ship will freak you out
‘Due to the fact that it was a military vessel the police were called,’ Stevgoldhound wrote. ‘A search was carried out but no one was found. There was one way on and off the ship, and that was by a gangway covered by CCTV. (You couldn’t jump over the side as it was a 25 meter drop on to concrete).’
Stevgoldhound added: ‘I am a sceptic. Maybe its a trick of the flash reflecting off something, but if you really zoom in you can just make out the f—— face, ear, collar of his jacket and the f—– axe in a meaty f—— fist.
‘Now it could be John blowing smoke up my ass, but when he was telling the story he seemed genuinely rattled. And the guy in the pic looks nothing any of the other workers we met at the dock.’
What do you think? A ghost, someone who somehow snuck on the boat or something else? – Metro
NORWALK, Calif. (KABC) — A mysterious animal was caught on camera roaming the streets of Norwalk, causing concerns among some neighbors about a lion in their midst.
“It looks like a big cat, but then when you look at it again, it could be a dog. The gait, the way the animal is walking, it kind of has the characteristics of a cat, but we really don’t know at this point,” Norwalk Mayor Marcel Rodarte said.
While the experts work to identify the mystery animal, the mayor is trying to get the word out to the people living in this neighborhood to keep an eye out for small pets.
“We want to make sure that if this is a wild animal or if this is maybe a pet that someone kept illegally that people are aware to keep an eye out for it, because our goal is really to capture the animal and put it in the safe place,” Rodarte said.
Many of the neighbors said they’re scared for their pets. Others wondered what the animal might be and how it got here.
“It doesn’t belong here. What’s it doing here? There’s no mountains in the back or anything like that,” neighbor Vivian Romero said.
But others said they’ve seen it before and think it’s something far less ominous.
“It’s a big, gray dog. It looks kind of like a Rottweiler or a Pit bull and it just kind of goes through the neighborhood digging up trees and goes on about its business,” neighbor Chai Harter said. Video can be found at ABC7
NOTE: Looks like a big predatory cat…large, long tail and feline stride. Lon
I (together with 50-100 people) had witnessed a major UFO sighting in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997, and it still mystifies me to this date. What is most surprising is that I am unable to find any reference to it on the internet and so am writing to you in the hope that you would be able to investigate.
The year was 1997 and I was doing my post-graduate studies in an internationally acclaimed institution in Lausanne that year. I am from Asia ans have since gone back to live in Asia, it was only that year that I was spending in Lausanne. It was in the later half of the year probably in Aug or Sep. It was a Saturday night, and had gone out in one part of Lausanne with some friends. I then left that part of Lausanne and was walking to another part of Lausanne where I was meeting some other friends.
Suddenly, I saw hundreds of people who had stepped out of their restaurants and looking in the sky. This was near the Lake Geneva shore and the area was an upmarket one with classy restaurants. The people witnessing this were all urban, well educated and well-off people. I looked up in the sky and saw somewhere between 15 – 20 lights hovering in the sky. They were fairly low in the sky and hence could be seen clearly, ie no room for doubt on maybe eyes playing game on us etc. The closest one could think of the lights was a formation of military aircrafts, but they couldn’t be aircrafts because they were just stationary and making no sound. As I mentioned, it was so unique that people eating in many restaurants there had all come out of their restaurants half way through their meal to witness this. After a few mins, the lights moved up into the sky very quickly and disappeared in the same formation, perfectly synchronised. I myself am a well educated person in senior management, and not one prone to believing in unexplained phenomena. This was a very clear incident of unidentified flying object with no room for doubt.
Unfortunately, none of my friends were there. I expected this to be reported in the newspapers next day. But the newspapers were all in French and I don’t know French at all. I asked some of my friends who knew French whether anything was mentioned in the newspapers, and they said no. Those days of course, the internet was just in its infancy.
For years now, every now and then, I search the internet to see if this has been highlghted anywhere, especially in specialist ufo sites like yours, but surprise not to find anything. I am hoping you have associates in Lausanne, Switzerland who are able to talk to the locals there and find out. This took place in an area called Ouchy, that is just by the lakeside. There are a clutch of restaurants on Avenue Willaim Fraise very close to the Movenpick Hotel. – MUFON CMS
On a winter’s night in 1952, it was pandemonium at a Girls Club when they all saw a Flying Saucer. I was eleven years old when this happened,” Diane says. Diane was leaving the Binghamton Girls Club at approximately 9 p.m., in February 1952. The facility was located intersection of Frederick and Liberty streets in Binghamton, NY. The girls had just been dismissed for the evening, so the front yard was full of girls age 9-16, about 45-60 in number, all heading for home. Diane was fascinated by the night sky and the beautiful stars so she was constantly looking up at them. The winter sky that evening was crystal clear, so she took advantage of the opportunity to look around. To the west she saw the moon as a simple crescent. As she glanced toward the southeast sky, she saw something odd and interesting. “It looked like a shark’s fin at first… I may have been the first to notice the thing.” She says.
Diane described the object as self-illuminated; “It had a harvest moon orange color sort of appearance. No other lights were visible.” She explains that the object drew closer and enlarged in size,”then it flipped or sort of rolled over, I saw this whole thing very clearly, when it sort of turned over or revolved horizontally it appeared as a disk and approached us very quickly and stopped in the sky about 45 degrees up from the south horizon.” Diane says the object was totally silent. She further states that it was like an orange football or blimp shape with portholes around the middle, and it appeared solid. “I had the distinct feeling that we were being observed or scanned or something. It was a very oppressive feeling I had never experienced before. When someone yelled”it’s a flying saucer” it started a stampede back into the Girl’s Club door, if you can imagine a large number of teen-age girls all trying to get back into a small door all at once.”
Inside the girls club the group of teens were yelling at the two women directors, telling them that a flying saucer was outside. The staffer reluctantly went outside for a look. By this time the craft had moved to the southeast and it quickly moved away in an apparent straight line becoming quickly smaller to an orange point of light and disappeared. The director of girls club in an effort to calm the frightened youngsters told them simply.”It’s the moon.” Diane tells us that she objected to the trite explanation, telling the director “no.” She pointed to the moon setting in the western sky. The director paid no attention to what the eleven year old had to say about it. Diane tells us that she did check the local newspaper the next day but couldn’t find a report of the event. Finally Diane tells us that for her it was a life changing experience, “I entered The University of Michigan as an astronomy major in 1958, as a direct result of fascination based on this event.”
A Manitoba, Canada witness at Birds Hill reported waking during the night while camping as a bright blue light filled his tent, according to August 4, 2014 testimony in Case 58629 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was camping alone on the night of July 31 to August 1, 2014, and recalls waking near 3 a.m.
The witness later recalled a ‘small hooded figure at the end of my campsite.’ Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
“My tent was filled by a bright light that started off whitish but changed to bright blue,” the witness stated. “It was shining through the tent from the outside. I do not remember hearing anything, but I remember feeling strange and disoriented.”
The witness says he returned to sleep at that point.
“I did not have the urge to leave my tent, just to close my eyes and hope it went away. I woke up again, I am not sure how much later. I felt less disoriented and was wondering why I had woken earlier.”
Then the witness had memories from the event.
“I then remembered the blue light and I then had a memory of a small hooded figure at the edge of my campsite. When I noticed it, it flashed closer to me without walking. I have no memory of a craft or anything else, but I have had sightings in the past.”
The witness has no memory of a UFO – just a blue light filling his tent followed by memories of a small hooded figure. Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
Birds Hill is a community in the Canadian province of Manitoba located a few kilometers northeast of Winnipeg. MUFON Canada is investigating.
A report was submitted to the MUFON CMS in reference to an anomaly seen on Google Earth over Yellowstone National Park. The only statement offered was:
I was moving from frame to frame on google earth when i found these photos. I dont know if they are ufo's or what they are.
Are these birds, drones, or anomalous? Or, another lens flare? They almost look like that big hoax from California in 2007-2008 The Caret Drone? (pictured below)
So....what is it? Who knows...but it does have a 'manufactured' look to it. Lon
Engineers from the space agency managed to produce tiny amounts of thrust using a microwave engine design that could turn space travel on its head
In a quiet announcement that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, Nasa has cautiously given its seal of approval to a new type of “impossible” space engine that could revolutionize space travel.
In a paper published by the agency’s experimental Eagleworks Laboratories, Nasa engineers confirmed that they had produced tiny amounts of thrust from an engine without propellant – an apparent violation of the conservation of momentum; the law of physics that states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction.
If further experiments continue to confirm the reality of these microwave thrusters then it could trigger a new era of space travel. Nasa’s involvement is no guarantee of success, but it does suggest that scientists are taking the possibility of ‘impossible’ engines seriously. Perhaps we should too.

Pew Research’s recent public opinion poll on technology and the future has been on my mind this week. We’ve already discussed the possibility of weather control and teleportation, but what about time travel? Only 9% of Americans polled say they want time travel technology (or, at least, that they’d prioritize it over other futuristic contraptions), which I’m initially inclined to blame on thefact that most of us didn’t grow up watching Doctor Who and don’t know how cool time travel technology can be.
As was the case with most of the other technologies discussed in the Pew study, time travel refers to something we’re already doing (albeit on an insignificant scale). Due to the effects of time dilation, astronauts and satellites already travel forward in time by tiny fractions of a second. Greenwich Royal Observatory’s Colin Stuart explains how here:
But even if we perfect and amplify this technology, it only allows time travel to the future, and where’s the fun in that? There’s little point in traveling to the future if you can’t come back to the present when you’re done. But traveling backward through time involves a lot more energy and, in Michio Kaku’s words, “punching a hole in the universe”:
A good number of scientists and inventors are trying, in various ways, to figure outhow we can travel through time—but none, as far as we know, have been successful.. Our inability to conquer time travel defines our existence as mortal beings who can only move within brief, finite periods of time—in one direction, and at or near one speed. If we ever could travel in time to change the past, it would be to the human experience what printing our own fake money would be to a game of Monopoly. It would be a game-changer—so much of one that our odds of using the technology responsibly, or even competently, would be slim. Stephen Hawking once remarked that one of the best arguments against future use of time travel is the lack of evidence for time travelers among us. It does, at least, suggest that if future generations have visited us, they had the good sense to keep it to themselves.
Even 45 years later, Buzz Aldrin has detailed memories of the Apollo 11 mission, when he became the second man to set foot on the moon.
Dishing about the moment he saw an “unidentified” object floating outside his Apollo capsule, Aldrin wrote:
“On Apollo 11 en route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world — it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected
The ex-astronaut, who is speaking out this month ahead of the 45th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, discussed the mission, in a Reddit-AMA on Tuesday.
Aldrin first recounted his UFO anecdote during a Science Channel program in 2005. At the time, UFO enthusiasts were apparently upset that Aldrin had not shared the information sooner.
During his Reddit AMA, Aldrin also took time to proclaim his hope that humans will travel to Mars in the near future.
"There is very little doubt, in my mind, that ... the next monumental achievement of humanity will be the first landing by an Earthling, a human being, on the planet Mars," Aldrin wrote, adding that he expects an international team to establish a presence on the red planet.
Aldrin added that a "collection of the best" individuals from around the world should land on Mars and establish a permanent settlement, rather than representatives of a private company with an eye on space tourism -- such as Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Wrote Aldrin:
I have considered whether a landing on Mars could be done by the private sector. It conflicts with my very strong idea, concept, conviction, that the first human beings to land on Mars should not come back to Earth. They should be the beginning of a build-up of a colony / settlement, I call it a "permanence." A settlement you can visit once or twice, come back, and then decide you want to settle. Same with a colony. But you want it to be permanent from the get-go, from the very first.
Should NASA send astronauts back to the moon? Aldrin said that's probably not the best use of resources. Instead, he said, the U.S. should direct its focus further into space and establish colonies and labs on Mars.

1:11:27: "Well, I can say I haven't read it [James Carrion's The Rosetta Deception] and I will order it now that you tell me it is on Amazon ... when I looked the first time I couldn't find it .... the fact that there is disinformation and there has been loads of it doesn't mean it's all baloney ... the stuff about Roswell or the stuff about aliens. He and I have tangled a couple of times at meetings and he even ignored some of the data his own people had but anyway I'll write a column ... I write a monthly column for the MUFON Journal and as soon as I get the book I will read it and write a column and judging on the past unless James Carrion has changed a great deal which I doubt I think we'll find that the book itself is disinformation ... how's that for a prediction? ... I haven't really gone into any detail yet because I haven't read the book and I don't dare to [I didn't hear this part very well but I think Stan said dare to] until I read the book ... I've only gone by past history."
I will answer Stanton’s comments on the Rosetta Deception by using Stanton Friedmanisms: "Don’t bother with me the facts, my mind is made up and if you can’t attack the data, attack the person."
All of my Rosetta Deception research is based on facts that are well documented in the book. Stanton admits he hasn't yet read the book but then categorically says I am full of baloney. Stanton later says he will read the Rosetta Deception and write an article for the MUFON journal on it but then states that he “predicts the book will be disinformation.”
Astoundingly, later on in the interview when asked to offer an opinion on Stan Romanek, he says “I don’t have enough information to have a reasonable opinion”. When asked about some alleged new Roswell related material recently found in some attic, Stan states, “I don’t know enough to have an opinion” and “why should I replace facts with conjecture?” Uh? Did you not just do that Stan by calling my research baloney and disinformation when you still have not read the book?
So Stanton, here is my response to your penchant at contradicting yourself: Practice what you preach and do your homework and get your facts straight before you commit to an opinion.
The things Stanton said in the interview we can agree on and which should stick out to him when he reads the book and as he is penning his MUFON journal article:
How easy it is to keep secrets and how important “need to know” is in the intelligence community
The tremendous amounts of money earmarked for the intelligence community
Disinformation is a well-known Government activity and was used heavily in WW2
The importance of code breaking during WW2, “Thank God for Enigma and Purple”
