The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology

While there is nothing at all difinitive about the auothors conclusions, it is facinating to follow him along his journy thorugh the history of covert programs and the characters that populated them. Much of it might be way off base, but there is enough historic fact to be interesting in it's own right (at least to me). Besides, the author writes in an entertaining style that keeps a person wondering what he'll come up with next.

One more thing, the reviewer who mentioned seeing a Meissner effct device in Edmunds Scientic Catalog, is making a bit of a mistake. The Meissner effect is a magnetic field phenomina, that has been studied from grade school classrooms on up for at least 15 years. It really has nothing to do with the non-magnetic phenomina that the author is investigating, and I don't recall it actually being mentioned in the book at all.

Great read. Well detailed with references included. Faded a bit in the last chapter (like he needs to release a sequel) but detailed enought to satisfy all but the most techno0savvy. Hard to put this one down.


For whom The Bell tolls...   January 9, 2005

Having read a lot of hostile reactions to this book, both in the Press and all over the Net, it seems the main knee jerk reaction has been to trash anything that may paint the Nazis in any kind of 'good light'. While I can understand that, I feel it gets in the way of a 'normal' reaction to the contents of the book. I shall hereafter refer to German rather than Nazi entities for that reason.

Basically, to infer that all Germans are/were Nazis is as distasteful and unreasonable as describing all Israelis as Zionists. Some are, most are not. The Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin was a hardcore terrorist who even murdered British troops during WW II, while seeking an arms deal with Mussolini, so let's not get too high and mighty here.

No, there is no conclusive proof about the existence of a secret German UFO or anti-gravity research progam. That does not mean that it therefore did not exist, merely that anybody suggesting that it did, is on thin ice. The closest thing to a German UFO that we have actual evidence of was the Horten disc-shaped glider and later powered glider, and various related projects.

Even the UFO community are deeply divided about the German UFO concept as some feel that it suggests that all UFO activity derives from German UFO technology, which is simply ridiculous. Far too many of the confirmed UFO sightings involve characteristics that make a terrestrial explanation ludicrous.

Nick Cook has written a brave book, and in his overall belief that the US has been intensively and secretly researching anti-grav technology, he joins other very credible researchers including former NASA consultant Richard Hoagland, who have offered examples of suppressed experimental results.

As for suppression... When two scientists claimed to have produced cold fusion in the lab, the Government's vested interest groups basically lined up a large body of detractors to 'prove' that they were wrong. In recent years, other groups of scientists have actually reproduced the original claimed results, and after almost 15 years of lost time i.e. deliberately wasted time - the idea is now being re-examined.

While Cook does not succeed in making a truly convincing case for German UFO research, he is still right to question the suppression of over unity energy research; and anti-gravity tech is only part of what might broadly be termed Unified Field Theory.

The trouble is, given the power of the vested interest groups who are basically running a planet whereby predicted profits are based on the continuation of archaic engines and propulsion systems that are designed to keep guzzling fossil fuels in whatever form for another century or two, we ain't likely to see free energy any time soon. Even if the possibility exists... of course. This isn't a planet... it's a business enterprise.

Like various conspiracy theorists have said, if you were making 100 billion dollars a year by pretending you can't cure cancer, would you give that up overnight?

Worth a read, but it is unlikely to convince people who are aleady polarized by various factors - like the rest of the human race



A Mystery Yet to Be Solved   June 9, 2003

Very interesting information presented in the format of a mystery novel. Excellent historical information on the German secret weapons program of WWII and the U.S. program of the 1950s. Yet there are still many unanswered questions that I had hoped the author would have been able to address more thoroughly. Perhaps the needed information is just not availble. The epilogue refers to a recent revolutionary invention called the Motionless Magnetic Generator which was patented in 2002 that utilizes many cocepts discussed in the book. Perhaps if this product is brought into production, remaining questions will be answered.


HOW TO LEARN TO LOVE THE BOMB, PART II   June 24, 2004

How does one develop and exploit technology that can provide tunable "death rays," great anti-missile, anti-arty, anti-meteor defense, unlimited cheap energy, "flying saucer" spacetime travel, unlimited supplies of potable water, remediate nuclear pollution, enrich nuclear material, alter atomic structure, manipulate massenergy (i.e. increase or reduce gravitational/inertial mass, alter the weather, create seismic disturbances, "tractor beams," etc.), see through walls, and offer instantaneous, secure communications, among other things, but also provide a weapon that can sufficiently disrupt spacetime to destroy an entire planet? One needs a secret international, if not intra-galactic, extra-governmental military-industrial complex control group of some really stand-up guys. Or, let's at least hope they're "stand-up" since we don't exactly elect them. Let's also hope that all that power does not go to their heads! This book will help you understand a very small part of this story, namely what some of the sons of Adam figured out and built in massive underground complexes in Nazi-occupied Central Europe some six decades ago and how, with the help of the OSS at the fall of the Third Reich, a certain thoroughly evil genius for organization and intrigue named Hans Kammler, came west with the fruits of this technology after killing as many people who worked on it as possible. Think he might have taught us anything? If I have any fault with this book, it is that I could not help but suspect that the author, Nick Cook, editor of Janes Defence - Aerospace, is not entirely the uninformed, naive, outside investigator that he protrays himself. Indeed, it seems inconceivable that Mr. Cook who is an integral member of the Western military industrial establishment would not have had this book and all that it purports to disclose thoroughly vetted and sanctioned by every authority he answers to. Consider: Cook steers clear of discussing almost all the fascinating work that many brilliant British scientists (such as Searle) have done in anti-gravity (because it would violate the Official Secrets Act?), even though much of what they have done is fairly widely known. Given these (presumed) constraints then, and considering that Cook managed to keep his job, he has written a marvelous book.
