David I : received
Letters Menu | Next LetterDecember 22, 1977 Mr. Brown, I am currently involved in research for a book on the UFO phenomenon, and would greatly appreciate any information you may wish to offer on Gravitational Radiation. I am aware of a few superficial aspects of study in this area, such as the use of massive aluminum detectors to aid in the search for gravity waves, but I am behind on detailed results owing to the lack of media coverage. If you could find the time, I would also appreciate your views on the following: 1) The refraction of gravity waves by massive bodies such as planets, dense stars, or accumulations of mass such as would occur in a galaxy. 2) The "Lenze-Therring" effect (the distortion of gravitational coordinates adjacent to a massive rotating body). 3) The effect of a high-energy electric field on the net velocity, magnitude, and wavelength of a hypothetical gravity wave. 4) The Radio-Frequency emission characteristics of spherical and lenticular radiating elements. 5) The feasibility of "distorting" ambient gravitational coordinates through a super dense rf. field. I have enclosed a self addressed & stamped envelope for your convenience. Best wishes over the holiday season! David M.
