TWO WILBERT SMITH STORIES
April 2013
Here are two observations about the work of Wilbert
Smith, Canadian UFO scientist, 1910-1962.
One:
In my book, Alien Radix, there is a sub-chapter that theorizes that the
military must have some additional means over and above radar to detect UFOs.
This is because 1) UFOs have the means to render themselves invisible to radar,
and 2) the military has almost uncannily quick responses to UFO close encounter
events. The sub-chapter was written before I was thoroughly aware of Grant
Cameron’s “Presidential UFO” website*. This website contains confirmation of my
theory about an additional technology(gies) to search the sky for UFOs. Radar
is NOT the only means for UFO detection, and it is a100% sure thing that our
government is using all technologies available to detect UFO incursions in our
atmosphere.
In
1953, the Canadian scientist, Wilbert Smith, created a UFO detection project as
part of his Project Magnet which detected one UFO (or perhaps something else),
after which the project was cancelled two days later. The instruments used for this were a gravimeter imported from
Sweden to measure the earth’s gravity, a magnetometer to record the variations
in the earth’s magnetic field; a radio set running full volume at 530
kilocycles to pick up any radio noises, and a counter to detect atomic rays
(gamma rays) from the outer atmosphere. There was also an ionospheric reactor(?)
to determine the height, pattern, and conduct of the ionized layers of gases
several hundred miles in the atmosphere. The equipment operated from October
1953 to August 10, 1954.
Prior to the largest and final reading
that occurred on 8/8/1954, the equipment had
reacted several times due to over-flying large aircraft. (my own emphasis added) The last and largest reading was of
something different than a conventional aircraft, but when the equipment
operator ran outside to see what caused the instruments to react, the cloud
ceiling was down to 1000 feet, so nothing was seen. This could be explained by
no known atmospheric phenomenon. Mr. Smith was on duty at the station when a
set of alarm bells tripped by the deflection of the gravimeter rang. "I
dashed over to look at the instrument," Smith said. "The deflection
in the line (drawn by an electronically operated pen) was greater and more
pronounced than we have seen seven(sic) when a large aircraft has passed overhead.” Smith pointed out that his station’s electronic devices
would not detect meteors unless they were of "great mass" and passed
very close. Smith later said, "I didn’t know then what caused that
strange and fascinating instrumentation," he recounted, "and I don't
know now...but the possibilities are interesting." Also, "We now are
attempting to find out if there was a failure somewhere in the
instrument," he said. “If it turns out that there was no failure then I
don't know what it was that passed overhead." Mr. Smith said it is not
possible for anyone to state that the gravimeter recorded the presence of a
flying saucer.*
Here are two main conclusions that can
be drawn from Mr. Smith’s results:
1.
Wilbert
Smith searched for anomalies in the sky using techniques other than radar,
and he was successful in that he was able to detect mass flying in the sky
(and the word “mass” would include apparent mass; i.e. artificial gravity
sources.). Notice that the instruments used for this experiment were all
passive, meaning that they did not project any sort of signal to look for
bounceback like radar does. They were 1953 technology (!), repurposed for UFO
detection, but probably unrefined. Also, notice that large airplanes were
successfully detected by the gravimeter. What this mean is that it is an
absolute certainty that UFO detection does not just depend on radar and visual
sight and perhaps infrared; additional means of detection were proven to be
possible by Project Magnet. It also means that using today’s technology, much
more sensitive non-radar UFO detection instruments certainly exist so that even
small UFOs could be detected.
2.
The
unknown object that was detected was larger than a large 1954 aircraft. Most
UFOs are dimensionally smaller than a large aircraft, but their weight (mass)
is open to question. There are many landing indentations that prove a very
heavy weight, and at least one was calculated to give a weight of 30 tons for a
football shape UFO that was 6 meters long and 3 meters in diameter (i.e. about
the density of water and much denser than an airplane.) This is a dimensionally
small UFO. On the other hand, there is the lightweight Roswell debris, plus the
100’ Aztec UFO which could be moved to a level position by a couple of men
pushing on its outer rim. Certainly, the light weight is not needed for energy
savings as their observed flight around our atmosphere indicates an almost
unlimited supply of energy. Paul R. Hill speculated that mothership UFOs might
be intentionally designed to be light weight so that as they travel between
stars, they can get closer to light speed as their mass rises, so due to having
lower mass than a dense and heavy UFO would, they can achieve a higher velocity
as the mass rises thereby lowering the voyage time.
Two: The second Wilbert Smith story is equally interesting. He apparently
developed a good understanding of how gravity works, and he attributed some of
his knowledge to psychic contact with aliens. He designed a gravity experiment
using a rotating disc at 18,000 rpm. He claimed to have received a psychic or
telepathic message that he should shield the experiment, so he did. Shortly
after this, the disc shattered under its high centrifugal forces and would have
caused injury were it not for the shielding. In a series of recorded 2004
interviews with Evegeny Podkletnov available on YouTube**, Podkletnov reveals
that in his own 1992 gravity experiments, the gravity shielding property of his
experimental setup was discovered by accident. He too used a rotating a disc at
high rpm (5000 rpm initially, later used 20000 rpm to 30000 rpm discs with
special strengthening), such that he also became fearful of the shattering of
the disc. What is interesting is the similarity of both of their the gravity
experimental setups, the observation that both men made about the disc
shattering due to high speed, and the startling ~35 year difference between
Smith’s gravity experiment to Podkletnov’s initial setup. As far as the psychic
contact between Smith and the aliens goes, you are free to draw your own
conclusion.
