Michael Shellenberger recently provided testimony to Congress regarding the Hutchison Effect, which delves into curious and complex theories.
In 1983, Col. John B. Alexander and the U.S. Army’s Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) examined the Hutchison Effect—a claimed process that purportedly enables the generation of antigravity and material cloaking. The team included individuals from Pharos Technologies, Alexis Pezarro, John Hutchison, George Hathaway, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and representatives from the Office of Naval Research and Army R&D.
Reported phenomena stemming from this research included the deformation of a molybdenum rod, the transmutation of steel into lead, the vanishing of a PVC pipe, instances of time dilation, and the spontaneous levitation of objects within the test environment. Hutchison has noted that Boeing and McDonnell Douglas engaged in similar experiments.
It’s noteworthy that the Hutchison Effect may have been unintentionally harnessing quantum vacuum energy or the zero-point energy field, which could potentially serve as a weapon if left uncontrolled, or as a reliable power source if managed properly.
Additionally, George Hathaway was involved in drafting a Defense Intelligence Reference Document for the 2009 AAWSAP/AATIP program. During this period, Gen. Albert Stubblebine led INSCOM, notably utilizing the Monroe Institute to enhance the psychic capabilities of his officers. In 1984, he was succeeded by Maj. Gen. Harry Soyster, who previously held the position of Vice President of Intelligence Systems at BDM International and later became the Chairman of Psi-Tech.
Notably, 1985 also saw Jack Houck, known for hosting spoon-bending parties since 1981, visit Hutchison’s lab. Houck, along with Puthoff, Stubblebine, and Alexander, were associated with the ATP Group, linking numerous interested parties.
Hathaway collaborated closely with Hal Puthoff at EarthTech, and is currently advising on The Safire Project with him. Col. John Alexander, mentioned in this context, inspired the character in the film “The Men Who Stare at Goats” due to his ambitious attempts to walk through walls and train soldiers in remote viewing—a practice for which he was ultimately inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame. This raises intriguing questions about the nature of those connections.
While transmutation related to the Hutchison Effect didn’t surface until 2005, it’s alleged that LANL’s involvement took root in 1983, with Hathaway stepping in as early as 1981. Puthoff and Shoulders reportedly began their work on Exotic Vacuum Objects in 1976, with Shoulders specifically stating on record that he believes his findings are linked to the Hutchison Effect. Dr. Eric Davis has also referenced Shoulders’ work alongside the psi research of Puharich, who was tied to MKUltra.
Interestingly, some sources have posited a connection between Puharich and Bob Monroe from the Monroe Institute, suggesting he served as Monroe’s mentor. Peter Levenda has linked Puharich to “The Nine,” and mentions that these entities have been associated with the Esalen Institute.
Hathaway was also Co-Chairman of the 1983 International Symposium on Non-Conventional Energy Technologies, which was co-sponsored by The American Association of Gravity Field Theory and The Planetary Association for Clean Energy. The latter is a Canadian nonprofit established in 1975, where Dr. Henry “Andrija” Puharich is identified as a significant member. This organization holds ECOSOC Consultative Status, which grants certain privileges within the UN system—an intriguing detail given Puharich’s background in mind control research.
In summary, Puharich’s role as Vice President of an NGO that co-sponsored a notable symposium, along with his ties to influential figures, raises serious questions about the interconnectedness of these groups and their research.

This post delves into a remarkably intricate and eccentric web of connections among various figures in the realms of military research, parapsychology, and advanced physics. The Hutchison Effect, with its claims of antigravity and material transmutation, indeed sparks the imagination and raises questions about the extent of government interest in unconventional technologies. The overlap of personalities like Puthoff, Puharich, and Stubblebine, along with their connections to agencies like INSCOM and organizations like the Monroe Institute, illustrates just how intertwined these fields can be—whether through legitimate research or more speculative pursuits.
Your mention of the potential implications of the Hutchison Effect taps into larger conspiratorial narratives surrounding suppressed technologies and hidden military capabilities. It’s intriguing to consider the potential for quantum vacuum energy as both a weapon and a source of power. However, without rigorous scientific validation, these ideas remain in the realm of speculative fiction.
The connections you’ve drawn to entities such as the Planetary Association for Clean Energy, along with Puharich’s controversial background, certainly add to the mystique surrounding these topics. It raises questions about the motivations and influences behind research that straddles the line between science and the fringe. The mix of legitimate scientific inquiry and less rigorous explorations into the unknown often complicates our understanding of what is—or could be—possible.
As you pointed out, parsing through these historical connections and emerging technologies can lead to many interpretations. The interplay between military interests and parapsychological studies is particularly concerning due to the ethical implications involved. Moreover, the suggestion of mind control research adds another layer of complexity to an already multi-faceted discussion.
While it’s crucial to examine these narratives critically, they also serve as a reminder of the human tendency to seek patterns, especially in topics as confusing and poorly understood as advanced physics and consciousness studies. As you mentioned, the allure lies in the mystery, but it’s essential to maintain a discerning eye on what is speculative versus what can be substantiated through rigorous scientific methodology. Ultimately, questions surrounding these phenomena may remain unanswered, but exploring them fosters valuable discussions about the future of technology and the ethics of its development.
