Rather notably, the document reveals that officials were secretly interested in the field of teleportation, which predated the Davis report
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Davis then provided his own determinations on what, specifically, constituted teleportation. In his very own words:
• Teleportation—SciFi: the disembodied transport of persons or inanimate objects across space by advanced (futuristic) technological means. We will call this sf-Teleportation, which will not be considered further in this study.
• Teleportation—psychic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects by psychic means. We will call this p-Teleportation.
• Teleportation—engineering the vacuum or spacetime metric: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects across space by altering the properties of the spacetime vacuum, or by altering the spacetime metric (geometry). We will call this vm-Teleportation.
• Teleportation—quantum entanglement: the disembodied transport of the quantum state of a system and its correlations across space to another system, where system refers to any single or collective particles of matter or energy such as baryons (protons, neutrons, etc.), leptons (electrons, etc.), photons, atoms, ions, etc. We will call this q- Teleportation.
• Teleportation—exotic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects by transport through extra space dimensions or parallel universes. We will call this e-Teleportation.
Davis suggested that the “P-Teleportation” would be the most profitable phenomenon of all: “P-Teleportation, if verified, would represent a phenomenon that could offer potential high-payoff military, intelligence and commercial applications. This phenomenon could generate a dramatic revolution in technology, which would result from a dramatic paradigm shift in science. Anomalies are the key to all paradigm shifts!”
In a portion of the report titled “Recommendations,” Davis noted: “A research program … should be conducted in order to generate p-Teleportation phenomenon in the lab. An experimental program … should be funded at $900,000—1,000,000 per year in parallel with a theoretical program funded at $500,000 per year for an initial five-year duration.” The official line, when the media got wind of the story, is that the Air Force hastily discontinued the program. The unofficial line, however, is that the research continued at a top-secret level … in the Nevada desert.
It should be noted that if such work is going on at Area 51, it’s certainly nothing new. Accounts of classified experiments in the field of teleportation data date back to the latter stages of the Second World War.
It was in 1955 that a highly controversial book on flying saucers was published. The author was Morris Ketchum Jessup, and the title of his book was The Case for the UFO. The book mostly highlighted two particular issues: (a) how gravity could be harnessed and used as an energy and (b) the source of power of the mysterious flying saucers that people were seeing in the skies above. It wasn’t long after the book was published that a man wrote Jessup a number of letters that detailed something astounding. The man was one Carlos Allende, a resident of Pennsylvania.
Allende’s letters were as long as they were rambling and almost ranting, but Jessup found them oddly addictive. Allende provided Jessup with what he— Allende—claimed were top-secret snippets of a story that revolved around invisibility—the type achieved, in fictional formats, at least, in the likes of The Invisible Man movie of 1933, starring Claude Rains. It wasn’t just invisibility that Allende had on his mind: it was teleportation, too, of the kind that went drastically wrong for Jeff Goldblum’s character, Seth Brundle, in 1986’s The Fly.
Jessup read the letters with varying degrees of amazement, worry, fear, and incredulity. That’s hardly surprising, given the nature of the alleged events.
