Michael Shellenberger recently provided testimony to Congress regarding the Hutchison Effect, which leads to intriguing, surreal discussions akin to an Alice in Wonderland adventure.
In 1983, Colonel John B. Alexander and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) studied the Hutchison Effect—a claimed technique for generating antigravity and material cloaking. The research team comprised members from Pharos Technologies, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and representatives from the Office of Naval Research and Army R&D.
Reported phenomena from these experiments included the deformation of a molybdenum rod, the transmutation of steel to lead, the spontaneous disappearance of a PVC pipe, time dilation, and even the levitation of objects within the lab. Hutchison also noted that Boeing and McDonnell Douglas were engaged in related research endeavors.
There is speculation that the Hutchison Effect might inadvertently tap into quantum vacuum energy or zero-point energy—uncontrolled, it could serve as a weapon; controlled, as a stable power source.
Also of note, George Hathaway was involved in drafting a Defense Intelligence Reference Document for the 2009 AAWSAP/AATIP program. Meanwhile, INSCOM was led at the time by General Albert Stubblebine, who utilized the Monroe Institute to enhance his officers’ psychic abilities. In 1984, Major General Harry Soyster succeeded Stubblebine; he was previously the VP of Intelligence Systems at BDM International and later became chairman of Psi-Tech in 1992. BDM International hosted the ATP Group meetings focusing on UAP R&D and reverse engineering opportunities in 1985.
Additionally, in 1985, Jack Houck, who initiated spoon-bending parties in 1981, visited Hutchison’s lab. Houck, along with Hal Puthoff, Stubblebine, and Alexander, participated in the ATP Group, alongside representatives from McDonnell Douglas and Los Alamos.
There are interesting connections among these individuals. George Hathaway worked closely with Hal Puthoff at EarthTech and is currently one of his advisors for The Safire Project. Colonel John Alexander and General Stubblebine are noteworthy figures, the latter serving as the inspiration for the film “The Men Who Stare at Goats” due to his bizarre attempts in psychic experimentation, such as trying to walk through walls. He has been inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame, which raises interesting questions about his activities.
I haven’t come across any mention of transmutation related to the Hutchison Effect until 2005, but LANL was reportedly engaged as early as 1983, and Hathaway was involved in 1981. Hal Puthoff and Paul Shoulders began their work on Extraordinarily Vortex Objects (EVOs) in 1976, with Shoulders suggesting a relationship between EVOs and the Hutchison Effect. Notably, Dr. Eric Davis has conducted research on ball lightning that references Shoulders’ work, alongside the psi research of Andrija Puharich, associated with the MKUltra program.
Speaking of Puharich, some sources link him to Bob Monroe of the Monroe Institute, citing Puharich as Monroe’s mentor. Peter Levenda connects Puharich to “The Nine,” who have ties to the Esalen Institute, enhancing the intrigue surrounding these names.
Hathaway also co-chaired the International Symposium on Non-Conventional Energy Technologies, which began in 1982 and was co-sponsored by the American Association of Gravity Field Theory and the Planetary Association for Clean Energy. The latter organization, founded in 1975 in Canada, has recognized Puharich as a significant member and boasts ECOSOC Consultative Status with the UN.
To summarize, Puharich served as Vice President of an organization that co-sponsored a major symposium, even as he maintained connections with notable figures in the field. His involvement in mind control research raises concerns, particularly when considering Oke Shannon’s notes
This is a fascinating dive into the interconnections among key figures and concepts surrounding the Hutchison Effect and related phenomena. The web you’ve woven highlights how complex and multi-faceted these subjects can be, combining elements of advanced physics, military interests, and even fringe theories.
The notion of the Hutchison Effect—reportedly involving levitation, material transmutation, and other extraordinary claims—being linked to various military and scientific figures raises important questions about the nature of research and the boundaries of conventional science. The fact that established institutions and well-respected scientists like Col. John Alexander and Gen. Albert Stubblebine were involved in these inquiries certainly adds a layer of credibility, albeit along with a significant dose of skepticism.
It’s also intriguing how closely these discussions tie into broader cultural and historical narratives. The connections to psychical research, MKUltra, and even potential occult implications as suggested by figures like Puharich and Levenda create a landscape where science, speculation, and psychology intersect. These are areas where the lines often blur, leading to a host of interpretations that can be as varied as they are provocative.
Your reflections on the possibility of psi research serving as a cover for advanced technology or espionage certainly introduce a compelling angle to consider. The implications of advanced tech being hidden under layers of secrecy for national security reasons are thought-provoking and warrant further exploration.
Additionally, the idea of separating “pathological science” from “proto-science” is crucial, especially when discussing anomalies that defy current scientific understanding. It suggests a need for a more discerning approach to evaluating claims, ensuring that genuine scientific inquiry isn’t overshadowed by sensationalism or conspiracy theories.
Overall, this post initiates an important conversation about how we interpret extraordinary claims and the need for rigorous investigation amid the allure of the unknown. While the truth may be elusive, the exploration of these mysteries reflects not only our curiosity but also the complexities of human thought and belief. Thank you for highlighting these intricacies!
