Union, using nothing more than the power of their minds to reconnoiter<br />

some of the Russians' most secret R&D establishments. If you believed<br />

what you read in published accounts of these people's activities, they<br />

were able to roam not merely in three dimensions—up, down, left and<br />

right—but in the fourth dimension as well: time. They could go back in<br />

time to review targets and they could look at them in the future as well.<br />

Puthoff showed me a picture that one of his team of remote viewers<br />

had drawn of an "unidentified research center at Semipalatinsk," which<br />

had been deeply involved in Soviet nuclear weapons work. He then<br />

showed me some declassified artwork of the same installation, presumably<br />

drawn from a U.S. spy satellite photograph. The two were damn<br />

near identical.<br />

It all seemed a long way from zero-point energy, gravity and inertia, in<br />

which Puthoff had been busying himself even before he left the remoteviewing<br />

field.<br />

Or was it?<br />

In a recent paper written by Puthoff, which I had already seen, he'd<br />

mentioned that the Russian physicist and Nobel prizewinner Andrei<br />

Sakharov had published a paper in 1967 suggesting that gravity and<br />

inertia might be linked to what was then still a highly theoretical<br />

proposition: vacuum fluctuations of the zero-point energy field. Now<br />

that the zero-point energy field had been proven to exist, "there is<br />

experimental evidence that vacuum fluctuations can be altered by<br />

technological means," Puthoff had written in the paper. "This leads to<br />

the corollary that, in principle, gravitational and inertial masses can also<br />

be altered."<br />

Puthoff was too smart to use the term—for all the reasons that<br />

Podkletnov, Ning Li and the others hadn't—but he was saying that<br />

antigravity was indeed possible.<br />

And, so were the Russians. All you had to do—somehow—was<br />

perturb the zero-point energy field around an object and, hey presto, it<br />

would take off.<br />

I asked him why NASA and the Air Force should be so interested in<br />

ZPE when it was obvious that there weren't going to be any practical<br />

applications of it for years—maybe centuries.<br />

Puthoff looked at me in a meaningful way. "Unless we find a<br />

shortcut."<br />

"Is that a possibility?"<br />

"Podkletnov could have come across a shortcut."<br />

The maverick Russian materials scientist and the idea of pipe smoke<br />

hitting a gravity shield had entered the conversation so abruptly that it
