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.
