AI-Generated Summary
This memorandum details the McDonnell Douglas 'Project BITBR' R&D program, which sought to develop advanced propulsion systems based on 'kinetic particle theory' and the study of UFO observations. It outlines a research strategy involving theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, and the collection of UFO data to identify potential propulsion breakthroughs.
This document is a memorandum dated June 27, 1968, from J. M. Brown of the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company to R. M. Wood. It serves as a core description of the 'Vehicle R&D Program,' also referred to as 'Project BITBR.' The memorandum outlines the technical background and immediate future efforts of the Advanced Concepts research team, which began in May 1968. The program is built upon the 'kinetic particle theory of physics,' which posits that space and time are absolute and that all matter and forces are produced by particle collisions. The research aims to rigorously test this theory through 'lumped-parameter analysis' and laboratory experiments. A significant portion of the document discusses the potential for gravitational control and matter annihilation as propulsion concepts, noting that high magnetic fields are a common feature in UFO reports and are presumed to be connected to propulsion systems. The document also details an ancillary approach to vehicle design, which involves studying UFO observations for potential design clues, assuming some UFOs are extraterrestrial vehicles. The program includes plans for laboratory experiments, such as measuring the effect of magnetic fields on the velocity of light, and the development of a continuum equation to represent the characteristics of basic particles. The memorandum concludes by identifying immediate priorities for the research team, including the continuum equation analysis, generation of high magnetic fields, and the systematic compilation of UFO literature.
This background indicates that some UFO's may be extraterrestrial vehicles; they certainly have not been proven otherwise. The existence of extraterrestrial vehicles indicates that vehicles can be built which would have capabilities quite useful to McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
