SUBJECT: LEARS FATHER ON POSSIBLE UFO TECHNOLOGY FILE: UFO1947

|
|
- In light of some of the controversy surrounding Lear.txt, perhaps it would
|
|
be helpful to refer to some statements attributed to John Lear's father,
|
|
the late William P. Lear, pertaining to possible UFO technology.
|
|
They are excerpted from the 1978 book entitled "The Cosmic Conspiracy".
|
|
They are presented here merely as interesting anecdotes, which may also
|
|
be helpful to an understanding of what has influenced John Lear.

Excerpt #1
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
"William P. Lear, inventor and chairman of the board of Lear, Inc., one
|
|
of the nation's largest electronics firms specializing in aviation, for
|
|
months has been going over new developments and theories relating to
|
|
gravity with his chief scientists and engineers".
|
|
"...He is convinced that it will be possible to create artificial electro-
|
|
gravitational fields 'whose polarity can be controlled to cancel out gravity".
|
|
"...'All the (mass) materials and human beings within these fields will be
|
|
part of them. They will be adjustable so as to increase or decrease the
|
|
weight of any object in its surroundings. They won't be affected by the
|
|
earth's gravity or that of any celestial body".
|
|
'This means that if any person was in an anti-gravitational airplane or
|
|
space ship that carried along its own gravitational field - no matter how
|
|
fast you accelerated or changed course - your body wouldn't any more feel
|
|
it than it now feels the speed of the earth' ".
|
|
"...Eugene M. Gluhareff, president of Gluhareff Helicopter and Airplane
|
|
Corp. of Manhattan Beach, Calif., has made several theoretical design studies
|
|
of round or saucer-shaped 'vehicles' for travel into outer space..."
|
|
|
|
It might also be of some interest to the reader that this author witnessed
|
|
the late William P. Lear making another nationwide statement on a daytime,
|
|
American television program in about 1969-70. This later statement was
|
|
made in response to a question from the emcee who wanted to know what Mr.
|
|
Lear envisioned the next twenty years producing in new technology. Mr. Lear
|
|
told him that a person would be able to, say, walk into a New York "travel"
|
|
booth - somewhat similar to a telephone box in shape; - deposit his fare;
|
|
push a button; and walk out the other side of the booth in San Francisco -
|
|
having been "teleported" across America in seconds! The studio audience
|
|
automatically laughed at Mr. Lear - much to their uninformed discredit.
|
|
Mr. Lear just gaped at their performance in utter amazement. How painfully
|
|
sad and lonely he must have felt at that moment when he realized the great
|
|
gulf that separated the viewing audience from the realities he had already
|
|
witnessed in the laboratory... He was a kind and sincere man; and this
|
|
author, for one, feels a great loss at Mr. Lear's recent death...

Excerpt #2
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
In his book of 1957, entitled, "The Flying Saucer Conspiracy", Donald
|
|
Keyhoe also mentioned some rather indicting news on pages 200-201:
|
|
"On 2nd February, while visiting Bogota, Columbia, William P. Lear
|
|
manufacturer of aircraft and electronic equipment, told a news conference
|
|
that the flying saucers are real".
|
|
"When Lear's story was flashed to the United States by the AP, it was
|
|
a hard blow for the UFO censors. But this was only the beginning. Within
|
|
twenty-four hours Lear amplified his first statement: 'I feel the flying
|
|
saucers are real', he said, 'because of four points'. First, he said, there
|
|
have been numerous manifestations over long periods of time. Second,
|
|
many observations have been made simultaneously by reliable observers.
|
|
Third, there are great possibilities linked with the theory of gravitational
|
|
fields. Fourth, there are now serious efforts in progress to prove the
|
|
existence of anti-gravitational forces and to convert atomic energy
|
|
directly to electricity".
|
|
"This new AP story dismayed the Pentagon, for it could easily disclose
|
|
our top-secret research to duplicate the UFO's propulsion. There had
|
|
already been one hint despite Pentagon precautions. During a meeting of
|
|
aviation leaders in New York, on the 25th of January, G.S. Trimble, vice-
|
|
president of advance design for the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Company, had
|
|
made an amazing disclosure... "Unlimited power, freedom form gravitational
|
|
attraction, and infinitely short travel time are now becoming feasible', he
|
|
told the press. Then he added that eventually all commercial air transpor-
|
|
tation would be in vehicles operating on these fantastic principles".
