FWIW, I had the chance to ask a principal Roswell UFO investigator in person his opinion of Nick's description of the World War 2, WWII, "Foo Fighters". He pointed out a major inaccuracy in Nick's accounting. According to the investigator BOTH SIDES of the war had actually reported sighting "Foo Fighters", not just the Americans and British. It would appear that Nick only chose to write accounts on what our side of WWII had witnessed. This would seem to indicate to me that Nick, on occasion, was selective on what he chose to write about. A personal bias, if you will. Setting such inaccuracies aside, "Hunt for Zero Point" was an exciting read. It was also filled with a lots of antidotal stories that were difficult to verify. I noticed that after I gained distance and more perspective Nick's occasionally fantastic accounts started to feel less satisfying to me. Nick's book pointed me to the interesting works of Thomas Townsend Brown, which in its current incarnation is known as "Lifter Technology" and can be viewed at many websites such as American Antigravity. See: http://www.americanantigravity.com, and of course at JLN labs, see: http://jnaudin.free.fr. Mr. Pope brought to my attention the works of Tom Bearden, whom I assume is still considered by many to be a major contributor in the ZPE field. As you may recall in the epilog of Nick's book he briefly discusses the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG) patent which Bearden & Co. submitted to the U.S. Patent office. Nick makes the hopeful prediction that we may be witnessing the beginning stages of a brand new form of free energy which, in turn, would kick off a major paradigm shift. Personally, I don't know what others within Vortex-l may feel about the works of Bearden. For now, I will assume most choose to keep an eye on what goes on in his labs, perhaps wishing him the best of luck. But like a lot of other labs working in this highly controversial field he has yet to reveal a prototype to the general public. Indirectly, Nick's book had been responsible for me stumbling across Black Light Power, Dr. Randall Mills, the Hydrino Discussion group and, of course, the Vortex-l discussion group. (Actually, it was Mr. Carrell who was DIRECTLY responsible for pointing me in the direction of Vortex-l.) Since then I've enjoyed having the privilege to on occasion discuss controversial matters with the best group of mad scientist I can imagine. In the final analysis: It really wasn't the content of what was in Nick Pope's book that turned out to be all that significant for me. Instead, it was Nick's enthusiasm in his pursuit of controversial fields that rubbed off, motivating me to pursue my own inquiries. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
