MEMORANDUM TO THE CONTROLLER OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For the past several years we have been engaged in the study of
|
|
various aspects of radio wave propagation. The vagaries of this
|
|
phenomenon have led us into the fields of aurora, cosmic radiation,
|
|
atmospheric radio-activity and geo-magnetism. In the case of geo-
|
|
magnetics our investigations have contributed little to our
|
|
knowledge of radio wave propagation as yet, but nevertheless have
|
|
indicated several avenues of investigation which may well be
|
|
explored with profit.
|
|
|
|
For example, we are on the track of a means whereby the potential
|
|
energy of the earth's magnetic field may be abstracted and used.
|

|
|
On the basis of theoretical considerations a small and very crude
|
|
experimental unit was constructed approximately a year ago and
|
|
tested in our Standards Laboratory.
|
|
|
|
The tests were essentially successful in that sufficient energy was
|
|
abstracted from the earth's field to operate a voltmeter,
|
|
approximately 50 milliwatts.
|
|
|
|
Although this unit was far from being self-sustaining, it
|
|
nevertheless demonstrated the soundness of the basic principles in a
|
|
qualitative manner and provided useful data for the design of a
|
|
better unit.
|
|
|
|
The design has now been completed for a unit which should be self-
|
|
sustaining and in addition provide a small surplus of power. Such a
|
|
unit, in addition to functioning as a 'pilot power plant' should be
|
|
large enough to permit the study of the various reaction forces
|
|
which are expected to develop.
|
|
|
|
We believe that we are on the track of something which may well
|
|
prove to be the introduction to a new technology. The existence of
|
|
a different technology is borne out by the investigations which are
|
|
being carried on at the present time in relation to flying saucers.
|
|
|
|
While in Washington attending the NARB Conference, two books were
|
|
released one titled "Behind the Flying Saucer" by Frank Scully, and
|
|
the other "The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald Keyhoe. Both
|
|
books dealt mostly with the sightings of unidentified objects and
|
|
both books claim that flying objects were of extra-terrestrial
|
|
origin and might well be space ships from another planet.
|
|
|
|
Scully claimed that the preliminary studies of one saucer which fell
|
|
into the hands of the United States Government indicated that they
|
|
operated on some hitherto unknown magnetic principles. It appeared
|
|
to me that our own work in geo-magnetics might well be the linkage
|
|
between our technology and the technology by which the saucers are
|
|
designed and operated.
|
|
|
|
If it is assumed that our geo-magnetic investigations are in the
|
|
right direction, the theory of operation of the saucers becomes
|
|
quite straightforward, with all observed features explained
|
|
qualitatively and quantitatively.
|
|
|
|
I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian Embassy staff in
|
|
Washington who were able to obtain for me the following information:
|
|
|
|
a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the
|
|
United States Government, rating higher even than the
|
|
H-bomb.
|
|
|
|
b. Flying saucers exist.
|
|
|
|
c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is
|
|
being made by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush.
|
|
|
|
d. The entire matter is considered by the United States
|
|
authorities to be of tremendous significance.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was further informed that the United States authorities are
|
|
investigating along quite a number of lines which might possibly be
|
|
related to the saucers such as mental phenomena and I gather that
|
|
they are not doing too well since they indicated that if Canada is
|
|
doing anything at all in geo-magnetics they would welcome a
|
|
discussion with suitably accredited Canadians.
|
|
|
|
While I am not yet in a position to say that we have solved even the
|
|
first problems in geo-magnetic energy release, I feel that the
|
|
correlation between our basic theory and the available information
|
|
on saucers checks too closely to be mere coincidence.
|
|
|
|
It is my honest opinion that we are on the right track and are
|
|
fairly close to at least some of the answers.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Wright, Defence Research Board liaison officer at the Canadian
|
|
Embassy in Washington, was extremely anxious for me to get in touch
|
|
with Doctor Solandt, Chairman of the Defence Research Board, to
|
|
discuss with him future investigations along the line of geo-
|
|
magnetic energy release.
|
|
|
|
I do not feel that we have as yet sufficient data to place before
|
|
Defence Research Board which would enable a program to be initiated
|
|
within that organization, but I do feel that further research is
|
|
necessary and I would prefer to see it done within the frame work
|
|
of our own organization with, of course, full co-operation and
|
|
exchange of information with other interested bodies.
|
|
|
|
I discussed this matter fully with Doctor Solandt, Chairman of
|
|
Defence Research Board, on November 20th and placed before him as
|
|
much information as I have been able to gather to date. Doctor
|
|
Solandt agreed that work on geo-magnetic energy should go forward as
|
|
rapidly as possible and offered full co-operation of his Board in
|
|
providing laboratory facilities.
|
|
|
|
Acquisition of necessary items of equipment, and specialized
|
|
personnel for incidental work in the project. I indicated to Doctor
|
|
Solandt that we would prefer to keep the project within the
|
|
Department of Transport for the time being until we have obtained
|
|
sufficient information to permit a complete assessment of the value
|
|
of the work.
|
|
|
|
It is therefore recommended that a PROJECT be set up within the
|
|
frame work of this Section to study this problem and that the work
|
|
be carried on a part time basis until such time as sufficient
|
|
tangible results can be seen to warrant more definitive action.
|
|
|
|
Cost of the program in its initial stages are expected to be less
|
|
than a few hundred dollars and can be carried by our Radio Standards
|
|
Lab appropriation.
|
|
|
|
Attached hereto is a draft of terms of reference for such a project
|
|
which, if authorized, will enable us to proceed with this research
|
|
work within our own organization.
