WILBERT SMITH ON TIME, Gravity & ET TECHNOLOGY SMITH WILBERT TIME, GRAVITY TECHNOLOGY Canadian engineer Wilbert Smith made some astonishing revelations about time, spacecraft propulsion, alien technology and the gravitational effects of nuclear explosions when he spoke to the Vancouver Area UFO Club in 1961. The following is an edited version of a speech by Wilbert B. Smith, given at short notice to the Vancouver Area UFO Club on March 14, 1961. It was entitled, "What we are doing in Ottawa". ay I point out that the Project Magnet I was associated with, which received much publicity, was not an official government project. It was a project that I talked the Deputy Minister into letting me carry out, making use of the extensive field organisation of the Department of Transport. No funds were spent on it and we merely had access to the very large field organisation and opened a number of files. Unfortunately, the press climbed on this and made a big deal out of it... However, we carried the project through official- ly for about four or five years and then went underground because of press interfer- ence... However, we had been following up every lead we could find. Some of the leads led to a dead end. We found a tremendous amount of garbage. We found a number of contacts which we believed to be sincere. Our technique of handling the contacts was to ask a number of rather general-type questions of all the contacts and then we compared the answers. We found that in a majority of cases we got back exactly the same answers from all the contacts. We felt that, since this was the case, the contacts were probably authentic. In a few instances we got back answers which were com- pletely inconsistent and we discarded these contacts. We just confined our activities from thereon to the contacts whose results we had been able to check. In following through our program of investigation, we have always felt that an unconfirmed report of any kind was of interest only. If we could get an additional confirmation, we felt that it had something better than a 50 per cent probability of being correct. If we had two independent confirmations, we rated it about 75 per cent, and so on. So the material I will be talking about a little later on is the result of not just one bit of information; the majority of it has been the result of three, four, five or sometimes even more independent transmittals of the same information. Now, this information includes a great deal of philosophy, a good deal of what you might say is human engineering and a great deal of science. Being of a scientific background myself, my own interest was directed largely towards the scientific end. I wanted to know how these craft were built, what their motive power was, where they got their energy and how come they were able to do such interesting things that our craft were unable to do. Many of the questions that I asked, when I had the opportunity to ask them, were along scientific lines. I will admit that I got back a great deal of info which was completely unintelligible, which sounded like a lot of double-talk. However, since we had previously established that the contacts from whom we got this info were probably authentic, we simply took the info down either in writing or on tape and kept it for future reference, and eventually we were able to get quite a good deal out of this. There is a great deal that we have that we have not yet been able to decipher. I think the trouble is with ws, not with the info. Much of the info, which we obtained from these people, cast some serious doubts on the valid- ity of some of the basic concepts of our science. For one thing, they told us that the velocity of light was not a constant. As a matter of fact, they seemed to be rather pointed in their statements that light doesn't travel, it is. And we told them that from our point of view it appeared to travel with a certain by Wilbert B.
