A recent article by The Hill has highlighted the reports of “cube-in-sphere” UAP’s military pilots have been seeing as reported by Graves where he once again highlights how often our pilots are seeing these things and why he doesn’t believe they are conventional drones or balloons. Article is below for your reference.

TLDR; The major takeaway is that trans medium MHD craft that operate silently and stealthily are technologically feasible and the energy density limitations that would normally require a compact fusion reactor can be overcome using aerogel designed to hold a vacuum to create buoyancy.

Quick Recap on MHD and the First UFO Patents

About a month ago I did a deep dive post into UFO patents and how magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion systems could explain some of the observations. It includes an expired patent from the 1960’s and a few newer patents describing not only the propulsion, but how the plasma field can make the craft invisible to radar. The post is below for your reference (links to the patents are in the post.)

1964 patent for MHD propulsion

To just give a brief recap, it’s not just theoretically possible to create a craft that flies without wings, propeller nor heat source, it’s been demonstrated albeit with simple devices. Furthermore, such a craft has been demonstrated for use in water as well as the medium also works. Additionally, it’s a proposed method for future space craft. The major takeaway is that trans medium MHD craft that operate silently are technologically feasible. The reason it isn’t in practical use isn’t because of theory or feasibility, but because it’s insanely energy inefficient to the point it’s not only wasteful, but extremely limited by fuel sources. In a nutshell, you basically need a compact nuclear energy source to really make this idea work.

2005 patent for fusion powered MHD trans medium craft invisible to radar.

The idea of a compact fusion reactor may sound too far technologically advanced for some people, but I cover why that may not be the case in my original ufo patent post. What I’ve discovered now after being inspired by the cube-in-a-sphere report is that there is a “trick” that is also technologically feasible and it may even potentially explain the sphere around the cube.

Using Aerogel to Create Lighter Than Air Craft (A New Submarine)

If you’ve never heard of aerogel it’s a metamaterial made using nanotechnology where a solid material is created in a way that it’s made up of a complex network of air pockets to the point where it’s mostly air and there is very little solid material. It dawned on me that perhaps such a material could have the air evacuated so that it’s mostly composed of vacuum. This is akin to how a submarine uses bouyancy to operate. The energy density limitations that would normally require a compact fusion reactor can be overcome using aerogel designed to hold a vacuum to create buoyancy.

Aerogels are fabricated of various materials; silica, i.e. quartz, is one suitable material. To make a flotation solid with vacuum fill, one has to have a compressive strength that exceeds atmospheric pressure (15 psi), and an atmosphere-impermeable outer layer.

For a sufficiently large object, volume (goes as dimension cubed) will always dominate area (goes as dimension squared), so the weight of the impermeable outer layer may be regarded as insignificant. We need only consider the density of the aerogel structure as it relates to the compressive strength.

It turns out it’s not only theoretically possible, but I found a patent for it connected to the DOE and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

2018 Patent using vacuum filled aerogels to create aircraft based on buoyancy by Triad National Security LLC.
Language from the patent

The current assignee to the patent is Triad National Security LLC. Their website says they bring “world-class expertise in lab management, nuclear operations, national security and scientific research to the National Nuclear Security Administration.” The National Nuclear Security Administration is described by wikipedia as a semiautonomous agency created by Congress in 2000 within the DOE.

The way this patent reads they go so far as to actually consider using an onboard vacuum system to evacuate and re-fill the aerogel in order to control buoyancy. This is an amazing idea by itself, but when you apply it to the problem of creating MHD craft it becomes a potential game changer. By effectively reducing the weight of the craft by surrounding it with an aerogel that is mostly made up of vacuum you now require very little energy for propulsion! It helps to significantly reduce the limitations of the energy efficiency problem of MHD crafts. The speculation being the sphere around the cube could be an aerogel or perhaps it would be better called vacuumgel.

This is a very interesting idea because it also shouldn’t hinder the principle of MHD operation being made up of mostly vacuum and in fact the aerogel can be manufactured to have electrical properties to assist in the operation. If it’s permanently under vacuum it wouldn’t handle going underwater well, but if it utilizes the ability to fill and pump back down, it’s basically a submarine that can float into outer space. The brand specifically listed in the patent is Airloy and their website is below.

I’m considering buying some that fits the description and attempting to vacuum seal it to test the idea.

What Would That Look Like?

Another interesting point is how it may look when viewed by FLIR or radar. As the earlier patent pointed out, plasma can be used to potentially become invisible to radar. As for the FLIR, well it probably depends how the plasma is being used. If it’s not being used at all or very low energy the craft may show up as very cold because it’s surrounded by vacuum. This is what one of the team members with UAPx on A Tear in The Sky claims he has captured on thermal imaging of some UAP’s. Such a technology could be very stealthy indeed. In fact, I could conceive of it using electrostatic forces to “hitch” a ride on an unsuspecting aircraft in a very similar manner as has been reported. Such tiny craft could go easily unnoticed visibly and potentially practically invisible in other spectrums at will.

Fuel Source

The new restrictions on limitations for such a craft now allows us to consider fuel sources that once again have already been demonstrated technologically. Instead of a compact fusion generator, which nobody has ever built before (at least publicly,) such a craft could use a myriad of different nuclear battery technologies aka atomic batteries. Nuclear batteries aren’t actually batteries, but different methods of generating electricity from nuclear sources other than a steam turbine. We used them already on space missions. In fact we’ve also been making some huge strides in this technology not only in efficiency but also the ability to become compact.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_battery

“Two researchers–a former Los Alamos National Laboratory engineer and an Alabama A&M University researcher–have developed highly efficient nanotube-based tile materials that can convert radiation, not heat, from nuclear materials into electricity.

The tiles are made of carbon nanotubes packed with gold and surrounded by lithium hydride. Radioactive particles slamming into the gold push out a shower of high-energy electrons that pass into the lithium hydride and then into electrodes, allowing current to flow.”

Notice how this new nuclear battery tech was created by researchers from Los Alamos and Alabama A&M University. Well the aerogel patent is assigned to Triad National Security which is made up of Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS), and The Regents of the University of California (UC). Also, the patent lists Los Alamos under it’s statement of rights.

Considering that this patent is under DOE and National Nuclear Security Administration and the work clearly has some crossover I’d say say they may have ventured onto the same idea as me that this technology could be used with a nuclear battery to create one crazy stealthy little MHD craft. Frankly, if they haven’t connected the dots, I’d like to be offered a job. Long hours in the sky become less anomalous if we recognize the technological feasibility of such a craft. It’s interesting that also in 2018 Triad National Security took over Los Alamos. Perhaps that’s a coincidence.

I can already hear people saying, “but those UAP were reported before 2018.” Yes, that’s true. My main point is about the technological feasibility and that still holds true. As for the cube-in-a-sphere reports pre-dating the patent my response is that it could’ve been in development before the publication. The publication of the new nuclear battery research was 2008. The thing about technology is that it progresses everywhere. Multiple groups can be working on the same thing. I’m pointing to these particular groups just as examples that the technology is feasible, not that they are necessarily behind any particular UAP report.
