Even one that the Navy itself patented.. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10144532B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US10144532B2/en

Sure, why not, what are we looking at though, some kind of microwave propulsion for spacecraft? Was a prototype ever built?

  The patent Summary, "The present invention is directed to a craft using an inertial mass reduction device. The craft includes an inner resonant cavity wall, an outer resonant cavity, and microwave emitters. The outer resonant cavity wall and the inner resonant cavity wall form a resonant cavity. The microwave emitters create high frequency electromagnetic waves throughout the resonant cavity causing the outer resonant cavity wall to vibrate in an accelerated mode and create a local polarized vacuum outside the outer resonant cavity wall. It is a feature of the present invention to provide a craft, using an inertial mass reduction device, that can travel at extreme speeds."

    I read that too, that's why I asked. Here is an article about it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2021/02/08/what-is-behind-the-us-navys-ufo-fusion-energy-patent/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2021/02/08/what-is-b... — this thing is supposed to enable faster than light travel, which needless to say is impossible according to our best understanding of the laws of physics. I suppose that is part as well of the great PSYOP for suppressing the truth.

      Actual FTL is impossible according to known physics, but effective FTL is not. Move the space around an object via warp bubble and you can have your cake and eat it too, in theory.

        "In theory" is doing a lot of work there -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive -- you need to apply a type of matter that we're not even sure actually exists, even if the type of matter exists you would need to find a way to harness it, and even if that's possible, we're not sure if this works in an as of yet hypothetical unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics.

I dove into this guy Pais at one point and came out thinking he’s kind of a marginalized crackpot with pie in the sky theories. Another explanation would be that his patent applications are part of a psyop project.
