We took Grebennikov at his word, choosing to investigate what we could based on his claims,
that it really is a flying platform and is not illusion or hallucination (refer to photo of the device in flight), here are some notes from the work we had been doing to analyze the claims of Grebennikov;
The initial discovery was with regard to the honeycomb structure and later went to what he calls the 'cover' of one insect (apparently relating to Chitin).
He also says cellulose (wood) and chitin (insect carapaces, shells, etc.) are the two most prolific organic materials in the world and both have this peculiar energy field.
He says a sensation of heat is produced by this material or shape and it can only be detected by hand, not with any thermometer or instrumentation.
It could be a kind of mini-cloudbuster since the correlations to orgone boxes are similar, i.e., organic accumulator, production of heat, tube shape.
Possibly uses acoustics or follows waveguide principles as in Chucks article at;
Indicates time is slowed in the presence of this energy.
Indicates partial invisibility when in flight due to light being spread around the device to rejoin at the bottom, much like the movie Predator, producing a slight distortion to the viewer.
He laces the entire document with references to psychic abilities, sensitivity and even reports that when he was in flight, he thinks he was reported as UFO sightings in nearby countries.
To date I have not been able to detect any heat from rolled film cones or a paper tube or paper shaped into a hex tube, closed or open, however, I don't consider myself psychic and am probably too much of a redneck to have that 'sensitivity'....
It bothers me immensely when a claimed effect cannot be QUANTIFIED as in measured with instrumentation completely devoid of human belieds and SUBJECTIVE or emotional desires.
However, if it flies, it flies and that's hard to dispute. The entire story and webpage is quite fascinating but to date, none of the claims have been reproduced to my knowledge.
That's what we DON'T need, another mythical story where it is being claimed as PROVEN (as with the Hamel material circulating now that is simply untrue, Hamel is known for two claims of phenomena, a self-running magnetic drum, later hybridized to the flying machine, NEITHER of which has been PROVEN by anyone working with or parallel to Hamel...that's the FACT).
I'd hate to see a lot of claims of proof being made for this flying platform stuff when the facts don't YET support it...
