Third-Generation Vacuum Bottle Electromagnetic Lifting Body

MODEL: The carefully followed verbal details elicited from two adult witnesses working with over twenty years experience as senior managers in the aerospace industries. They were separately and together recalling a pre-teenager event that they both witnessed in their extended ranch and orchard-style backyard.

LOCATION: Simi Hills, California; north of the western San Fernando Valley, in northern Los Angeles County in the early 1970s.

MY UFO CASE AS DIRECTED BY FUTURE-MUTUAL UFO NETWORK INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR JAN HARZAN CIRCA 1993: Decades of research followed my reconstruction of the Harzan Brothers' early-1970s Simi Hills, California Unidentified Flying Object as seen from around the corner of their large sprawling ranch-style home in that community near Rockwell International's North American Rockwell) then-Rockedyne facility in the then-rural (now semi-rural) "Grapevine" hills that included the Simi Hills north of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

This event was witness by two pre-teen boys, the Harzan Brothers, early in the daylight hours on a Saturday in the early 1970s. The Apollo moon missions were well underway and Special Access Program (SAP) funding dollars under Nixon-Authorized black budget were plentiful. Rocketdyne's Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) high in the Simi Hills was very close by as the crow flies.

NOTE: The landing gear and the paint job were both serious clues in the formulation of my hypothesis that this was a man-made remote-controlled electromagnetically-operated lifting body, utilizing industrial vacuum conditions inside a proprietary flask made of some form of armored glass or quartz-Lexan materials, which may have been a test bed for an experiment operating and utilizing the Biefeld-Brown Electrokinesis Effect. Radio-Controlled model helicopter and full scale aircraft TEK was well along in those years and was public.

THE BIEFELD-BROWN ELECTROKENISIS EFFECT: The Biefeld–Brown effect is an electrical phenomenon that produces an ionic wind that transfers its momentum to surrounding neutral particles. It describes a force observed on an asymmetric capacitor when high voltage is applied to the capacitor's electrodes. Once suitably charged up to high DC potentials, a thrust at the negative terminal, pushing it away from the positive terminal, is generated. The effect was named by inventor Thomas Townsend Brown who claimed that he did a series of experiments with professor of astronomy Paul Alfred Biefeld, a former teacher of Brown whom Brown claimed was his mentor and co-experimenter at Denison University in Ohio.

The use of an asymmetric capacitor, with the negative electrode being larger than the positive electrode, allowed for more thrust to be produced in the direction from the low-flux to the high-flux region compared to a conventional capacitor. These asymmetric capacitors became known as Asymmetrical Capacitor Thrusters (ACT). The Biefeld–Brown effect can be observed in ionocrafts and lifters, which utilize the effect to produce thrust in the air without requiring any combustion or moving parts.

In his 1960 patent titled "Electrokinetic Apparatus," Brown refers to electrokinesis to describe the Biefeld–Brown effect, linking the phenomenon to the field of electrohydrodynamics (EHD). Brown also believed the Biefeld–Brown effect could produce an anti-gravity force, referred to as "electrogravitics" based on it being an electricity/gravity phenomenon. However, there is little evidence that supports Brown's claim on the effect's anti-gravity properties.

The "Biefeld–Brown effect" was the name given to a phenomenon observed by Thomas Townsend Brown while he was experimenting with X-ray tubes during the 1920s while he was still in high school.

HISTORY AS PROVIDED BY WIKIPEDIA: North American Aviation began testing liquid rocket engines within the Simi Hills which would later become the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The company sought a location for a manufacturing plant nearby the Simi Hills testing site. In 1954, North American Aviation purchased 56 acres of land within the current Warner Center area then deeded the property to the Air Force. The Air Force, in turn, designated the site Air Force Plant No. 56 and contracted with Rocketdyne to build and operate the facility.[3] NAA completed construction of the main manufacturing building and designated Rocketdyne as a new company division in November 1955.

Rocketdyne was an American rocket engine design and production company headquartered in Canoga Park, in the western San Fernando Valley of suburban Los Angeles, in southern California.

The Rocketdyne Division was founded by North American Aviation (NAA) in 1955, and was later part of Rockwell International (1967–1996) and Boeing (1996–2005). In 2005, the Rocketdyne Division was sold to United Technologies Corporation, becoming Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne as part of Pratt & Whitney. In 2013, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne was sold to GenCorp.
