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
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
...... 2
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
....... 3
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
