“I knew ‘Uncle Boyd’ well, and worked with him off and on for years. He was actually a really nice old guy, very friendly, always coming up with the wildest ideas, and quite truthfully, innocently fraudulent. He was the weirdest mix of 1 part science, 5 parts eccentricity and 4 parts gentleman I have ever and will ever know. He was so convinced that Egyptians built the pyramids under alien supervision and “altered gravity” devices to lighten the mass and reduce the inertia and momentum of the huge stone blocks the pyramids are built from, that he started teaching himself the “ancient” Egyptian language to learn more. He carried crystals around in his coat pockets that, when he handed one to you, he claimed were limitless self-heating sources of energy, and that they somehow knew to “amazingly” adjust their heat output to match human body temperature so we wouldn’t be hurt by them. He was convinced he had measured changes in gravity’s pull over a range of only 40 feet, or about four stories, which happened to match the height of the building he made this claim in. He claimed that bullets radiated microwave energy, charging surfaces with high-voltage DC made them invisible to radar, that stacks of rubber mats impregnated with stainless steel needles caused an imbalance in the forces in zero-point energy and made them over-unity energy sources. He studied works by Searle and Hutchinson with a passion, as well as papers by Biefield and Brown on electro-gravitic propulsion, and claimed to have used the Biefield-Brown principle to float heavy objects around. He was basically Nikola Tesla on a lifelong LSD trip. But still, I’m proud to have known this gentle and creative crackpot.” (this website has since gone down)

After the Paracast
Daniel Fry, an alleged alien contactee, predicts the existence of dark energy in 1956
“We can explain the observed actions of the present universe by postulating that an attraction exists between the individual bodies within a galaxy, because their total mass and distance is such that they are within the positive portion of the gravitation curve with respect to each other. In the vast spaces between the galaxies however, the curve dips below the zero line, with the result that a repulsion exists between the galaxies themselves.” [emphasis added]
