Four For Friday - More Than Not Alone - Part Two

The post about the permanent A+ director and the slain professor immediately reminded me of something else - hold on to your hats for this one.

A decade ago, a man suddenly appeared and began telling a story (#1). First on a series of podcasts, then a TV show and finally on the show of the late night radio legend (#2). He was part of a project overseen by a major LA-based contractor and two major national labs (#3). The project was code-named after a mythical creature (#4). It was based on research begun by the creator of the H-bomb (#5) and his protege from the toothpaste family (#6), whose work is highly classified to this day but involved the same field of physics (#7) the recently slain professor was involved with.

Apparently it was discovered that when you create and confine a certain extreme state of matter in a certain way, strange things begin to happen. Things that allow physical access to different points in space and time. Things that appeared to prove our reality is a construct that can be rewound, fast-forwarded and manipulated. Whoever controls this technology can possibly control reality itself.

All these experiments, by the way, were happening in the same decade the permanent A+ director was making his classic not-of-this-world film.

The late night radio legend became spooked when the guest told him things on the air about classified work the host did in the past that he never told anyone. He then admitted he had been threatened by this notorious former Secretary of Defense (#8) if he kept talking. In his next few podcast appearances he completely shifted gears, telling strange and bizarre stories very unlike the clear and concise accounts of his time in the project, seemingly designed to discredit himself. He has not been heard from since, but his stories are out there for those who know where to look.
