FTL Capable: Leaked details by Brad Sorensen include that the General giving the presentation claimed the ARV is capable of speeds faster than light.
Propulsion System: Propellantless Biefeld-Brown effect electro-dynamic capacitor array and warp drive and/or inertial mass reduction electromagnetic coil around the circumference.
BBE Capacitor: Each wedge contains eight copper plates separated by green dielectric. Six middle plates likely float with top and bottom plate connected to positive and negative voltage making a seven layer capacitor.
Inertia Reduction Antenna Coil: Consists of square copper rod 1/4" x 1/4" surrounded by green dielectric about 1/4" thick. Estimated to contain about 1200 turns and able to withstand about 2.5MV applied to the coil. Anomalous acceleration takes place when craft moves in the direction of the EM field's North-to-South pole.
State Change: Rumored to Occur at 1.2MV - 1.25MV. Refers to either the electromagnetic coil or the BBE capacitor. If it's the BBE capacitor, it is unclear if the state change voltage needs to be applied between two copper plates and the dielectric between them or if the voltage only needs to be applied across an entire seven layer capacitor wedge with the six middle copper plates floating at voltages in between the top and bottom plates.
Please do not contact him!! Brad is not giving any interviews about the ARV and does not want to discuss it with anyone.
Firsthand Witness: Sorensen is the only known firsthand witness to ever discuss the ARV.
FTL Capable: The General giving the presentation on the ARV stated it was capable of speeds faster than light. It is unknown if that applies to all three models or only the largest one.
State Change: Said to occur at 1.25 Megavolts. It is unknown if state change refers to an effect in the capacitor array or in the electromagnetic coil.
Capacitor Array: Each wedge in the array contains 8 copper plates with a green translucent dielectric plate in between them. If state change refers to the capacitor, it is unknown if that applies to just two copper plates and the dielectric between them, or if it applies to an entire seven layer capacitor wedge where the top and bottom copper plate is connected to 1.25MV+ and 0V Ground leaving the six middle plates to float.
EM Coil: The electromagnetic coil is composed of 1/4" x 1/4" square copper rod that is surrounded on all sides by 1/4" of the same green translucent dielectric and consists of approximately 1200 turns. If G10 is the dielectric being used the coil could withstand about 2.5 Megavolts applied to it.
Public Face of ARV: For decades Mark has been the public face for the leak of the "Alien Reproduction Vehicle" aka "Fluxliner" by fellow aerospace designer colleague Brad Sorensen.
Joined Novel's UFO Tech Hunting Group: Mark was also the public face for a network of individuals formed by Gordon Novel and George Uhlig to answer the question, "How do UFOs get here?" Mark was the point man in trying to find such like minded individuals in the aerospace field
Breakthrough Moment: First gained notoriety at the Disclosure Project Press Club Briefing in 2001 where he displayed the line art blueprint of the ARV Mark drew based on Brad's descriptions and recollections.
Mark's Obsession: Mark spent decades conducting research and networking with like minded UFO 'nuts and bolts' individuals in his attempts to decipher the ARV's propulsion and energy systems to fully understand how the ARV functions and sharing that information with the world in interviews and documentaries.
Building a Network: Novel and his associate George Uhlig wanted to answer the big question of how do UFOs get here? They sought out to build a like minded team, a network, of individuals in the aerospace field. Mark McCandlish was one such individual.
McCandlish introduced Brad to Novel and Uhlig where the two interviewed Brad to get his firsthand description of all the components Brad had witnessed in the ARV and what the General giving the presentation said.
It is unclear extactly when Novel was considered part of the Aviary, a network of IC/MIL, MIC, scientists, and engineers, himself known as "Buzzard". It is likely that the Aviary consisted of both individuals working to bring the tech public along with individuals performing counter-intelligence operations to keep the tech classified.
Supreme Cosmic Secret: Novel published this book about all the evidence and information about the Alien Reproduction Vehicle he came across in his investigation and desire to reverse engineer the Alien Reproduction Vehicle.
Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon, has been outspoken on the existence of NHI and UAP.
After Mitchell's death among his papers the Wilson-Davis memo was discovered.
In the memo Commander Will Miller mentions an unamed "senior officer who I believe had first-hand knowledge U.S. government alien reproduction vehicles (ARVs) at Area-51 and associated locations".
Lockheed Martin Senior Scientist with 30 public patents while there and a research engineer at Hughes Aircraft, General Dynamics and Texas Instruments over his 40 year career.
In his deathbed confession he claimed to have worked with aliens from a star system approximately 68 light years from Earth while at Lockheed Martin.
Experimental evidence collected consistently shows a magnet in free-fall in the direction of its North-to-South pole accelerates at rates greater than gravity in free-fall experiments.
Latest experiment consists of a dual drop free-fall experiment from approximately 50ft with magnet falling in the direction of its North-to-South pole and a non-magnetic, non-conductive, Control object of similar mass.
Propellantless propulsion pioneer best known for the Biefeld–Brown effect where high voltages applied to a capacitor will cause the capacitor to move in the direction of the negative to positive electrode.
In 1929 "Science & Invention" printed an article "How I Control Gravitation" by Brown about an experiment that weighed over 88lbs that displayed the effect disputing claims the effect is ion wind. Brown believed he had found a link between electricity and gravity.
The Montgolfier Project reveals Brown worked with the French company SUD Aviation in the 1950s and revealed to them that dynamic applications (pulsed DC voltages) of the BB effect were now classified by the U.S. government.
Conducted a study "Twenty First Propulsion Concept" for the Air Force on the Biefeld-Brown effect inside a vacuum chamber in 1991 with both static and pulsed DC voltages of 19kV up to 600Hz.
With acrylic between the electrodes only the highest voltage and highest pulse rate displayed a force above measurement threshold while with PZT forces were detected when electrical pulsing through the PZT occured.
Under "Recommendations" at the end of the report, Talley called for additional experimentation using higher pulsed DC voltages applied to high dielectric constant materials like PZT to further verify measured anomalous forces.
Worked with the Honda R&D Institute on a Biefeld-Brown effect experiment with a custom built capacitor that was set in inulating oil to eliminate any affects that would be due to ion wind.
Two test voltages were used, 18kV static DC and 8kV pulsed DC 50Hz pulse rate. The capacitor performed better with pulsed DC losing 2 grams, about 3% of its weight, versus 0.5 grams when static DC was applied.
Has done considerably theoretical work in an attempt to come up with an equation to determine the capacitor build specs needed for propulsive forces over a 1km/sec.
Conducted a study "Asymmetrical Capacitors for Propulsion" for NASA on the Biefeld-Brown effect inside a vacuum chamber in 2004 with a static DC voltage of up to 50kV. Pulsed voltages were not tested.
Of the four capacitors tested only one used a solid dielectric in between the electrodes and it was also the only one that moved when the initial pulse of static DC current was applied to the capacitor when the power supply was turned on.
An arc occured at these moments and the capacitor would rotate an eighth of a rotation. The movement was dismissed as an ejection of material during the arc but no explanation was given why no arcs and movement occured with the other capacitors.
Known for the “Exodus Effect,” a claimed electrostatic propulsion mechanism that does not expel propellant that works by using high-voltage plate/stack geometries creating a non-canceling net electrostatic pressure vector.
Holds four patents - "System and Method for Generating Forces Using Asymmetrical Electrostatic Pressure"
Has drawn heavy attention in alternative propulsion circles and popular press as a “new force” / anti-gravity-adjacent claim that would be useful for craft and satellites in space eliminating the need for onboard propellant.
A GE Aerospace engineer who discovered the spin of unpaired nucleons can be polarized through high speed rotation the same as the spin of unpaired electrons can creating a field that is not electromagnetic in nature unlike polarized electrons.
Discovered atoms with an unpaired proton or neutron have a permiability to this force akin to some atoms having a magnetic permiability.
Discovered polarized unpaired nucleons can be used to shield a craft from external gravitational fields as well as creating gravitational fields inside such a craft.
A decade after Wallace published his patents on spin polarization of unpaired nucleons to generate a force Alzofon wrote the book "Gravity Control with Present Technology" where he called using "Dynamic Nuclear Polarization" to affect gravity.
Alzofon believed that by aligning the spins of unpaired nucleons propulsive forces can be generated.
Alzofon paved the way for later scientists like Podkletnov, Li, and Eskridge to conduct experiments, in their cases, with superconductors and high speed rotation, as another method to polarize the spin of unpaired nucleons.
Discovered a rotating superconducting disc, composed in part of atoms with unpaired nucleons and rotated at approximately 5,000 rpms, had a gravity shielding effect above the disc. No one has attempted to replicate this experiment in full.
Experimented with a larger gold plated aluminum disc rotated at higher rates up to 12,000 rpms which had an even greater propulsive and shielding force. Both gold and aluminum atoms have an unpaired proton.
Discovered an impulse beam force by wrapping an electromagnetic coil around a superconducting emitter and discharging a pulse up to 4 Megavolts through the emitter to a receiver. The impulse beam was recorded travelling faster than the speed of light.
A physicist like Podklenov who became famous in the 1990s for conducting experiments with rotating YBCO superconductors some atoms of which have unpaired nucleons and generated measurable “gravitomagnetic” fields.
Formed company AC Gravity that received a U.S. government grant to continue her work at which point all her work went dark.
In an interview her son stated she suffered depression over the inability to discuss her work with the scientific community as a result of the U.S. government grant's stipulations.
Conducted an experiment for NASA where his team constructed and rotated a disc of Bismuth at high rpm, an atom with an unpaired proton, and discovered it gained and lost weight depending on the direction of rotation of the disc.
