Little information can be found about Salvatore Cezar Pais; he has virtually no Web presence...

 

What is known is that he received a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1999 and that he currently works as an aerospace engineer for NAWCAD at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland - the Navy's top aircraft test base.

 

Pais has published several articles and presented papers at American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conferences over the years describing his work in electromagnetic propulsion, revolutionary room temperature superconductors, and topics like his PhD dissertation:

"Bubble generation under reduced gravity conditions for both co-flow and cross-flow configurations."

NASA helped fund his dissertation, a copy of which they have on their website here.

 

A full list of his publications can be found here.

 

 

 

 

The Navy's Patented Hybrid Underwater Aerospace Craft

 

Pais is named as the inventor on four separate patents for which the U.S. Navy is the assignee:

• a curiously-shaped "High Frequency Gravitational Wave Generator"

• a room temperature superconductor

• an electromagnetic 'force field' generator that could deflect asteroids

• perhaps the strangest of all, one titled "Craft Using An Inertial Mass Reduction Device"

While all are pretty outlandish-sounding, the latter is the one that the Chief Technical Officer of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally vouched for in a letter to the USPTO, claiming the Chinese are already developing similar capabilities.

 

The patent was first applied for on April 28, 2016, over a decade after the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered strange Tic Tac-shaped aircraft and nearly a year after Navy pilots across multiple squadrons flying out of Naval Air Station Oceana and NAS Norfolk experienced a string of bizarre encounters with unidentified aircraft, some of which, like the Tic Tac, seemed to possess exotic performance capabilities.

The hybrid aerospace-underwater craft in Pais' patent, meanwhile, is described as being capable of incredible feats of speed and maneuverability and can fly equally well in air, water, or space without leaving a heat signature.

 

This is possible, Pais claims in the patent, because the craft is able to,

"engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level" by exploiting the laws of physics.

The concept is fairly simple, although the engineering required to make it a reality is anything but.

All matter contains energy on the quantum level.

 

By theoretically creating its own incredibly dense and polarized energy field, the hybrid craft is claimed to be able to create a quantum 'vacuum' around itself which allows it to repel any air or water molecules with which it interacts.

Thus, the craft can essentially ignore aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces, or so it is claimed in the patent. 

Throughout his patents and publications describing the hybrid aerospace underwater craft (HAUC), Pais writes that the radical feats of speed and maneuverability of which the craft is supposedly capable can be achieved by coupling,

"high-frequency axial spin" or "accelerated vibration" with "high-frequency vibrations of electrically charged systems."

In other words, if you can,

1. create a room temperature superconductor capable of storing an incredibly high amount of energy

2. get the energy field created by that superconductor moving at incredibly high speeds around or within the craft,

...you can create a polarized energy vacuum around it which allows it to basically ignore the energy of the air or water around it, thereby removing its own inertia and mass from the equation. 

 

In his most recent publication, Pais describes the hybrid aerospace underwater craft as a roughly cone-shaped vehicle that would appear round from the front or rear:

"the HAUC is conical in configuration, with an elliptical cross-section, similar in geometry to a hypersonic glide vehicle/dart."

Interestingly enough, the descriptions of the craft in several of Pais' publications and even the patent for "Craft using an inertial mass reduction device" include room for a crew compartment shielded by a Faraday cage.

 

Shortly after the patent for the hybrid craft was approved in 2018, Pais presented another related paper, "Room Temperature Superconducting System for Use on a Hybrid Aerospace Undersea Craft" at the 2019 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SciTech Forum in San Diego this past January.

 

In the paper, Pais writes that,

The capabilities described in the paper should certainly sound familiar to anyone who's been following the Navy UFO stories over the last several years:

It is possible to envision hybrid aerospace-undersea craft (HAUC), which can function as a submersible craft capable of extreme underwater speeds (lack of water-skin friction) and enhanced aerial/underwater stealth capabilities (non-linear scattering of RF and sonar signals).

 

This hybrid craft would move with great ease through the air/space/water mediums, by being enclosed in a Vacuum/plasma bubble/sheath, due to the coupled effects of EM field-induced air/water particles repulsion and Vacuum energy polarization. 

 

 

Superconductors also create their own repulsive magnetic fields when placed near magnets, enabling applications like the levitating Maglev trains currently floating at high-speed in Japan and China.

 

Most superconductors today require extremely low temperatures to operate, however, making them impractical for most uses outside of laboratories or large scale industrial applications.

 

Room temperature superconductors for years have been something of a "Holy Grail" of science for engineers, because, once realized, they would open the doors for incredible new forms of,

• power transmission and storage

• electric motors

• magnetic levitation devices

According to documents available to the public at the USPTO website, the Patent Office rejected Pais' and the Navy's application for this craft on March 30, 2018.

 

After it was rejected, the NAWCAD's patent attorney, Mark O. Glut, appealed the decision and submitted further documentation to ensure the patent office that this craft is indeed "enabled," meaning it can actually be built and can perform as described in the patent.

 

 

 

 

One of the most compelling items in the collection of appeal documents is the letter accompanying the final appeal written CTO Sheehy concerning the U.S. Patent Office's rejection of "Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device."

 

In the letter dated 15 December 2017, Dr. Sheehy claims that Salvatore Pais has,

"already begun a series of experiments to design and demonstrate advanced High energy Density/High Power propulsion systems" that are described in the patent. 

 

Furthermore, Sheehy claims that,

"the realization of this result demonstrates that this patent documents the future state of the possible and moves propulsion technology beyond gas dynamic systems to field-induced propulsion based hybrid aerospace-undersea craft." 

Have a look at the letter yourself:

 

 

It's important to note that Sheehy doesn't go so far as to say on the record that the Navy currently possesses this technology and instead notified Patent Examiner Philip Bonzell that he agrees that,

"this mode of acceleration/movement is beyond the state of the possible, at least at present."

Sheehy, of course, adds that,

"China is already investing significantly in this area" and "would prefer we [the U.S.] hold the patent as opposed to paying forever more to use this revolutionary technology" as he asserts "this will become a reality." 

Remarkably, it seems to boil down to the ol' "we must not allow an Inertial Mass Reduction Device gap!"

 

Perhaps because of that threat from the Chinese looming, the USPTO finally issued a notice of allowance for "Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device" to the Department of the Navy on October 31, 2018, at a fee of $1,000 USD. No reason was given for why the patent was eventually approved. 

 

It's important to note, as well, that U.S. patent law ends at America's borders.

 

The Navy can patent anything it wants to, but those patents would not necessarily keep a foreign country from developing and patenting similar technologies. 

 

 

 

 

The Dawn Of Electromagnetic Propulsion?

 

Normally, I would agree with others that these patents are likely just the Navy ensuring that when or if this technology does become available, the U.S. will be able to control it. However, these are not normal times.

 

Thanks to To the Stars Academy (TTSA), the Department of Defense, and the media at large, not only are we now being told that Navy pilots have witnessed aircraft behaving exactly like the craft these patents describe, but some of the pilots' visual descriptions of those anomalous aircraft even seem to be uncannily similar to the drawings of the aircraft as depicted in Pais' patents. 

 

One of those patents depicts a curiously and distinctly shaped gravitational wave generator that resembles the Tic Tac-shaped object reported by retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor and other Nimitz Carrier Strike Group pilots in encounters that took place in 2004 off the Baja Coast...

 

 

Furthermore, in regards to claims that these patents may simply be speculative "math theory," as the patent examiner called them in one of the rejections, it's important to remember that scientific and engineering research sometimes reach tipping points in which incremental progress made over decades suddenly culminates in large paradigm shifts that bring the theoretical into the realm of the possible.

 

Massive bursts of associated funding also can really help, of course. 

 

The patents appear to draw upon established theoretical research; included in the Navy's patent appeals and Pais' most recent publication are references to decades' worth of peer-reviewed research in room temperature superconductors and macroscopic quantum effects and even notated copies of several studies related to Pais' research.

 

In the publication, Pais also thanks Naval Aviation Enterprise CTO Dr. James Sheehy,

"for the many hours of thought-provoking discussions on the concept at hand."

Interestingly enough, both Pais' research and some of his patents also contain acknowledgments to the work of Dr. Harold E. Puthoff, co-founder and Vice President of Science and Technology of To the Stars Academy.

 

Puthoff is an electrical engineer and inventor who has published research on polarized vacuums, but has also been extensively involved with paranormal and somewhat 'pseudoscientific' topics such as remote viewing. 

 

According to their Website, TTSA's goal is to advance,

"our current understanding of scientific phenomena and its technological implications."

The stated mission of TTSA's Aerospace division is to find,

"revolutionary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy, and communication" and the company claims it is "currently working with lead engineers from major Department of Defense and aerospace companies with the capability to pursue an advanced engineering approach to fundamental aerospace topics," such as Space-Time Metrics Engineering (STME).

This is a theoretical concept in which quantum vacuums are engineered as a means of propulsion.

 

It remains unclear how TTSA intends to follow through with and secure funding for these ambitious goals.

 

In a press release marking the official launch of TTSA on Oct. 11, 2017, former Program Director for Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs at the Skunk Works, Steve Justice, described how TTSA was working on developing revolutionary "Advanced Electromagnetic Vehicles" that will,

"dramatically reduce the current travel limits of distance and time" and "mimic the capabilities observed in unidentified aerial phenomenon by employing a drive system that alters the space-time metric."

Without a doubt, these advanced electromagnetic vehicles that TTSA says it plans to develop sound uncannily like the electromagnetic hybrid aerospace underwater craft in Pais's patent.

Few Answers, But Plenty Of Questions

 

We reached out to NAWCAD for any information or clarification regarding these patents and were referred to Kurt Larson, NAWCAD's Public Affairs Director.

 

Larson informed us by phone and email that,

"when it comes to patent applications, [NAWCAD] cannot provide any context outside of the filed patent application documents."

Similarly, USPTO policy states that applications for patents are not generally open to the public, and,

"no information concerning them is released except on written authority of the applicant, his or her assignee, or his or her attorney, or when necessary to the conduct of the business of the USPTO."

As striking as the similarity between the claimed capabilities of the hybrid craft and those of the objects described by Navy personnel, it's still unknown whether these patents are related to the ongoing UFO revelations.

 

As we have noted in previous articles, there could be multiple simultaneous explanations for these varied incidents and a number of motivations for disclosing them to the public.

 

Perhaps the few pieces of footage that have trickled out over the last several years that some claim to show advanced craft could be the Navy's way of subtly hinting that this concept actually works and is being tested in the field by either the U.S. or the Chinese.

 

The fact that Sheehy would lean so heavily on the Chinese threat in the last bullet point of his appeal letter to the USPTO seems to suggest that the Navy may already be playing catch-up to a terrestrial foe.

 

It is also important to note that if the Navy had wanted this patent to remain classified, it could have filed the patent under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 (35 U.S.C. ch. 17), a law which allows patents to remain classified if they might pose a possible threat to the national security of the United States.

 

Instead, all of Pais' patents are currently fully available to the public.

 

If such a propulsion technology was so revolutionary and if the Navy indeed wanted to keep this technology out of others' hands, it's curious that they would choose to make the patent public.

 

Maybe the Navy is signaling to its adversaries that it, too, is aware of this revolutionary capability and to whom it belongs.
