NASA programme managed from the Lewis, later Glenn, Research Center by Marc Millis from 1996, funding small-scale theoretical and experimental work on propulsion concepts that would not require propellant, including assessments of Eugene Podkletnov’s gravity-shielding claim. The programme was deliberately modest, publicly documented and peer-reviewed, and was wound down in the early 2000s.
In The Hunt for Zero Point it functions alongside Project Greenglow, a NATO gyroscope study and a United States Air Force study as evidence that mainstream institutions were funding this territory openly while the word antigravity remained unusable. It is also the clearest available counter-argument to the book’s thesis: if the effect were already in hand somewhere in the black world, the open programmes would be an expensive redundancy.
