Could very well be. Though, it seems like the attention given by the people in authority was a little too genuine.
> After one of his academic papers describing the patents was accepted for publication in 2016, Pais wrote in an email to several NAVAIR employees that “What is most unique about this paper is that it has already won the approval of Dr. [REDACTED], one of the world’s top authorities in Advanced Power and Propulsion/Quantum Vacuum Engineering, who has given his unreserved approval of this paper, calling it “a very good paper.” [REDACTED] has also forwarded the paper to several of his colleagues, including [REDACTED], another top subject matter expert.”

Said more disparagingly: it may only show that some kook liked hearing their ideas parroted back to them.
- willis936 6y agoRight? Whenever I've looked at the alien Navy stories it always seems to boil down to someone wanting to be conned and a con man willing to oblige. It's embarrassing. The people calling the shots in politics and military do not have good noses and don't appreciate the value of peer review.
