At Last, the Guy Behind the Navy's Wild UFO Patents Speaks
Salvatore Cezar Pais is the inventor behind several unusual technology patents.
The patents seem to point to a method of transportation similar to UFOs.
Experts say Pais' claimed technologies require considerable proof to gain credibility.
The elusive engineer behind several highly unusual patents, filed on behalf of the U.S. Navy, has broken his silence and finally spoken to the media. Salvatore Cezar Pais responded to emails sent by The War Zone, but his answers bring us no closer to how the technology behind the patents, which involve fusion power and other exotic tech, came about.
Dr. Pais, formerly an aerospace engineer with Naval Air Systems Command/ Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division and now at the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs, recently achieved notoriety with the publication of patents involving compact fusion reactor energy—truly wild stuff that stretches the limits of science—and a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft.”
The two technologies combined could theoretically create a “UFO”-like craft similar to the one seen by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004 and 2014-15. Although highly unusual, Naval Air Systems’ Chief Technology Officer James Sheehy assured the U.S. Patent Technology Office (USPTO) that the technology behind them was indeed real, and that some aspects were already undergoing testing.
Pais recently published a paper in EEE Transactions on Plasma Science titled, “The Plasma Compression Fusion Device—Enabling Nuclear Fusion Ignition.” The device is essentially a fusion reactor, the holy grail of energy research. Fusion reactors promise cheap, limitless energy without complications of nuclear power—particularly nuclear meltdowns and the generation of nuclear waste.
Most major countries, as well as major corporations like Lockheed Martin, are working on their own fusion power projects. But the necessary breakthrough to make the tech operational is still thought to be decades away.
So how would the compact fusion reactor work? The success of the device relies on a part called a dynamic fusor. According to the patent:
Pais’ plasma chamber contains several pairs of these dynamic fusors, which rapidly spin and vibrate within the chamber in order to create a “concentrated magnetic energy flux” that can squish the gases together.
Coated with an electrical charge, the cone-shaped fusors pump fuel gases like Deuterium or Deuterium-Xenon into the chamber, which are then put under intense heat and pressure to create the nuclei-fusing reaction. Current technology at reactors around the world use superconductors to create a magnetic field.
In correspondence with The War Zone, Pais said he is confident about his inventions, but he didn't reveal any new details. He stated:
The fact that my work on the design of a Compact Fusion Reactor was accepted for publication in such a prestigious journal as IEEE TPS, should speak volumes as to its importance and credibility - and should eliminate (or at least alleviate) all misconceptions you (or any other person) may have in regard to the veracity (or possibility) of my advanced physics concepts.
Pais’ email to The War Zone includes a great deal of technical jargon, but also seems to tread a very careful line of government secrecy. When The War Zone polled subject matter experts, they expressed their doubts, with one suggesting Pais has drunk the “Kool-Aid” of bad science and another remarking that the claims are extraordinary—and thus require extraordinary proof.
Could Pais’ work be an effort by the Navy to replicate technology seen by U.S. Navy Super Hornet pilots? Or is it entirely different and separate from those UFO sightings? Even more bizarrely, could the “UFOs” represent real-world tests of technology that a Navy representative assured the USPTO was taking place? We’re no closer to finding out the truth ... but at least we now know Pais answers his emails.
