Thomas Townsend Brown

Discovered the Biefeld-Brown effect in the 1920s — that charged capacitors exhibit thrust toward the positive plate, suggesting a link between electricity and gravity. Worked with the Navy in the 1950s on classified electrogravitics research. His work was published openly through 1956 when Aviation Studies International released 'Electrogravitics Systems' and 'The Gravitics Situation.' Then the subject went completely dark in the public literature — a classification event. The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber's wing-shaped design is consistent with a large capacitor structure, and witnesses have reported the B-2's leading edge glowing during flight — consistent with high-voltage charge accumulation. Brown is the bridge between Tesla's electromagnetic research and modern reverse-engineered craft. His publicly verifiable research was heading toward gravity control, then it disappeared. Either the research failed (and was abandoned) or it succeeded (and was classified). The B-2 suggests the latter.
