Dr. Eric W. Davis, formerly a contract research physicist at NASA’s Breakthrough Propulsion Project which ran from 1996 through to 2002, gave a lecture in 2010 where he responded to the question of UFOs as they pertain to potential physics for traversable wormholes, warp drives, and anti-gravity. Sponsored by the Society for Scientific Exploration, the lecture was about a then recently published book, Frontiers of Propulsion Science, regarding discoveries from the NASA project.
After the lecture, during a question and answer session, one questioner asked whether, “…properties of UFOs had guided the thinking and research of that initiative.” In responding to the question, Dr. Davis said, “Secretly yes and overtly no.”
In giving a reason for the secrecy, he stated that, “UFOs don’t have credibility with mainstream academic researchers,” and that, “… policy makers and decision-makers in charge of funding and programatics … don’t want to hear the topic of UFOs. So, for the purpose of doing this officially, , but we did consider it under the table.”

Dr. Davis was a technical consultant to the NASA project.
He obtained a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Arizona in 1991, was a co-founder of a joint NASA-JSC’s Advanced Deep Space Transport Technology Assessment group studying advanced propulsion physics, and has authored several papers on zero-point vacuum physics for propulsion as well as the potential of traversable wormholes.
Delving further into the subject, Dr. Davis noted that some members had, “…looked at all the physical events and physical descriptions provided by researchers such as .”
He described two events that took place at the NIDS Utah Ranch of, “…one scientist and one researcher seeing a wormhole, what looked like a wormhole, with a creature crawling through.” In the second event, “…the ranch owners had seen an opening in the sky in broad daylight with a triangular craft that came through it.
Dr. Davis then compared these observations with known wormhole physics. “…that’s an example of data that indicates a wormhole involved. Geometry tells you what a wormhole looks like when it intersects our space. It appears as point of light and then, as the intersection gets larger and larger, it opens up and you begin to see the hole.” At that point, he noted, objects could traverse the wormhole.
NIDS Ranch refers to the National Institute for the Discovery of Science, more colloquially known as Skinwalker Ranch. A property situated near Ballard, Utah, it’s known for historical UFO, cattle mutilation, and other paranormal legends. Reclusive billionaire Robert Bigelow bought it in 1996 as part of an effort to fund a long-term study of these claimed phenomena.
Discussing the matter of UFOs and warp drives, Dr. Davis stated that, “We haven’t seen performances that adhere to the warp drive because … basically it’s just between stars and we don’t see UFOs warping anywhere. We see then doing ninety-degree turns and rapid motions. They disappear and reappear. That is undetermined yet.”
He finally commented on the matter of anti-gravity, “…we have anti-gravity in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. … There are aspects of anti-gravity, the properties of negative vacuum energy, that would create a repulsive force that allows something to levitate up. And UFOs do exhibit that.”
In explaining how, he referred to Dr. Hal Puthoff’s Polarized Vacuum Model where, “…instead of space-time , you envision space-time as a polarized vacuum of a quantum zero point fluctuations. And, if you exert a field on that medium, the fluctuations are polarized, that creates a space-time bending effect similar to warp drive and wormholes. We see that in aspects of what’s predicted.”
The Breakthrough Propulsion Project was disbanded at NASA in 2002 due to funding shortfalls. Dr. Davis is now a research physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies-Austin, and is CEO of the company Warp Drive Metrics. He’s published scholarly and speculative literature on such matters quantum teleportation, traversable wormholes, and advanced propulsion physics, commonly known as warp drive. He is currently scheduled to speak at the 2013 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) symposium on the topic of recent warp drive and wormhole research.

Audience Question: Is there any thought to using the known properties of UFOs as a guide to your thinking and research?
Dr. Eric W. Davis: The answer is yes and no. Secretly, yes and overtly no. Because the mainstream academics don’t like the topic of UFOs and they really don’t have any credibility with them, especially with policy-makers and decision-makers in charge of funding and programatics. They don’t want to hear the topics of UFOs. So, for the purpose of doing this officially , but we did consider it under the table.
And yes, there is a subset of us who have looked at UFO data. And we’ve looked at all the physical events and physical descriptions that have been provided by investigators from Jacques Vallee to yourself, and whatnot, and George Hathaway and so forth. And we’ve been able to use that data as input to give us an idea, and that data does drive the concepts that we did derive later on the book and went into the original NASA program. Like warp drives and wormholes.
For example, at the NIDS Utah Ranch, where I used to work for Bob Bigelow for six years, we had the experience of one scientist and one investigator seeing a wormhole – what looked like a wormhole – with a creature crawling through, and then the ranch owners had seen an opening in the sky in broad daylight with a triangular craft that came through it.
Well, that’s an example of data that indicates there’s a wormhole involved. I mean, geometry tells you what a wormhole looks like when it intersects our space. It appears as a very bright – intensely bright – point of light and then, as the intersection gets larger and larger, it opens up and you begin to see the hole. And, things would be going in and out of it. So, that’s an example of two datasets that we verified at the NIDS Utah Ranch that match what I know as a physicist what a wormhole would do.
Warp drives. We haven’t seen UFOs do performances that adhere to the warp drive, because the warp drive… basically it’s just between stars and we don’t see UFOs warping anywhere or warping around. We see them doing ninety degree turns and rapid motions; they disappear and reappear. That is undetermined yet. I would think that wormhole is a big possibility still.
I’m trying to think of anything else. I would think that anti-gravity – we have anti-gravity in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and I cover that in my chapter in the book; one of my three chapters. There are aspects of anti-gravity, the properties of negative vacuum energy that would create a repulsive force that allows something to levitate up.
And UFOs do exhibit that. So there’s Hal Putthoff’s Polarized Vacuum Model. It’s a different form of Relativity where instead of a space-time you envision space-time as a polarized vacuum of a quantum zero point fluctuations. And, if you exert a field on that medium, the fluctuations are polarized, that creates a space-time bending effect similar to warp drive and wormholes. So, we see that. We see that in aspects of what’s predicted. — Reddit.
