Brendan McNamara wants to meet aliens. Not in the abstract, not through a message that arrives centuries after it was sent, and not by launching a spacecraft that his distant descendants might eventually welcome home. He wants the encounter to happen within his own lifetime. An ecologist, computer technician, farmer, and carpenter, McNamara approaches that ambition from an unusually broad perspective, following a trail that leads from nuclear propulsion and engineered spacetime to quantum computers, simulated worlds, and consciousness itself. Along the way, the question changes. What begins as a search for a faster spacecraft becomes something more fundamental: Does experiencing another world necessarily require taking a human body there?

Mikolaj Baczynski will share new experimental results related to his Vacuum Propeller research; Todd Desiato will explore a proposed connection between gravity and the Standard Model; and Denny O will examine what comes next for implosion research. We’ll close with discussion and questions from attendees. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Charles Buhler will discuss his continuing work on the the physics model for Exodus Propellantless Propulsion, Andrew Aurigema will discuss his ongoing experimental research with Exodus, and Mike McCulloch will be discussing the theory, applications, and experimental validation of his physics model of Quantized Inertia. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Al Baur on Advancements in Electrostatic Levitation, Gabriel Dias will discuss Boundary Conditioned Vacuum Interaction Systems and ZPF Tech research, Jennifer Nielsen will discuss torsion cavitation drives in the TUFTS model of physics, and Denny Okudinani will be presenting on A Brief Historical and technical Look at Solid-State Spatial Mass Displacement. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Greg Cathcart will provide a detailed hypothesis on Anomalous Transit in the Informational Lattice, Isaiah Ritchey will provide updates & insights on the Searl Effect Generator, Eric Biggio on Gyroscopic Thrust Experiments, Denny Okudinani will discuss his replication of Viktor Schauberger's Repulsine, and Todd Desiato will show a pre-recorded presentation discussing quantum gravity for engineers. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Jarod Yates will provide an overview of a new UAP sample from the 1983 Llaniar crash in Wales, Orestis Lazanakis will be discussing additional UAP sample analysis results, and David Pares and Reid Sherman will be discussing Claude's analysis of the VEM Drive and Reid's replication experiments.  We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Thorsten Ludwig will be discussing his research into zero point energy and the Casimir Effect, Mikolaj Baczynski will discuss vacuum pendkulum testing with beam balance, torsion beam, and pendulum timing tests that produce a reproducible propulsive force, Bryan St. Clair will be discussing the evolutionary arc of his pulsed inertial engine devices, and Michelle Broyles will be providing updates from the Shell-Woodward lab and her research on Woodward Effect propulsion.

Jamie Childress will kick things off with “Space-Time is a Material,” a paradigm-shifting look at the vacuum as an active medium with real, testable physical properties. Next, Douglas Miller presents “ZPE Field Density, SED, and the Miller Framework,” exploring stochastic electrodynamics and a proposed engineering roadmap for vacuum metric effects and propellantless thrust. Daniel Davis follows with “Warp-Assisted Hypersonics: Engineering the Shock Layer,” examining how controlled plasma and shock-layer physics might reduce hypersonic heating/blackout—and serve as a disciplined testbed for more speculative spacetime effects. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.

Marat Mukhamedyarov will present a detailed overview of the legendary properties of Bismuth, Chad Wanless will discuss Dark Operational Warp Propulsion Systems based on his new peer-review scientific paper, and John Brandenburg will discuss the findings of his new research article, "Experimental Evidence of Possible Gravity Modification based on an Einstein Unification Model: The GEM Effect". We’ll also be hearing updates from our lab partners and finishing off the event with an open discussion by conference attendees!

Giovanni Cambria will present on the Relativistic Amplification of an Engineered Quantum Vacuum, George Egely will survey the current state of LENR (often called cold fusion) through the lens of “catalytic fusion”,  Orestis Lazanakis will be discussing the results of isotope tests conducted on purported ET material samples from UAP / implants, and Larry Deavenport will discuss his hands-on replication of T. Townsend Brown’s “Flame-Jet Generator”. We’ll also be hearing updates from our lab partners and finishing off the event with an open discussion by conference attendees!
