Lets do another one, and Anna said Aliens.
Die Glocke Hoax and Beyond: The Feasibility To Anti-Gravity Propulsion.
Fuck harmonic levitation, that's not traditional anti-gravity. That's just surfing sonic waves.
The alleged project, which was exposed to be the product of a Polish Hoaxer, was said to be a type of glowing plasma that floated a bell around chained to a water tower support structure.
Still like the concept.
The following clip demonstrates the reaction mercury has to an electromagnetic current.

The alleged craft was supposedly powered by a gyroscopically stabilized torus wrapped in super-conductive wire. The torus is then super-cooled to absolute zero. The interior substance is always mercury or Helium3.
My problem with this always was superfluids have no viscosity and shouldn't be able to rotate. Not true.

The liquid enters the superfluid state, which supports topological defects.
This is another way of saying: plausible, to me anyway. That doesn't mean much, but still...
There was a video of NASA testing this concept with a finite amount of mercury to show its not really feasible. The object seen exhibited the same erratic characteristics seen in sonic levitation, and possibly was another mislabeled YouTube video. I tried but failed to find this video.
However, If it was done with rotating mercury or helium3, they have proven the concept in an attempt to discredit it. As more substance rotating = greater effect.
If true though, a craft within the effect of the torus would not experience inertia even in wild 90 degree turns.
My intuition is maybe the Nazi's "Xerum 225" wasn't completely made up bullshit. This was the supposed wonder weapon at the end of World War II, as Germany froze in Russia, a bunch of other projects were resumed by either The USA or USSR as well.
This technology would begin to be tested in the late 1940's and through the 50's.
Still "unexplained", photos like this make me assume The Soviets built their UFO's first.

That just seems like something The Soviets would do. Fly a bunch of their better technology over Eisenhower's inauguration. And maybe that is what his reasons were for giving the world the phrase, "Military Industrial Complex" at the end of his presidency.
And as someone who saw The Phoenix Lights (WHICH IN NO WAY LOOKED LIKE FUCKING FLARES), I can attest to a defined sucking at cover stories.
Motherfuckers fly a neutral buoyancy craft over the entire state (presumably to test its ability to fly over a major metropolitan area) and then go and take their toys (which could've been drones) out over a bombing range just to distract everyone, then tell us we saw A-10s from a Maryland detachment dropping flares that stayed perfectly stationary. The larger V-Shaped craft (with fixed lights) was described to shimmer and be almost "fluid-like" by eyewitness disgraced imbezzling former Arizona Governor Fife Symington.

[Area 51 Tarmac. The 737-200 has a wingspan of 94 feet. The Hanger in question is around 400 feet across (longer than a Canadian football field), suggesting the craft housed has a wingspan comparable to an A380, 262 feet or longer.]
* This also means the space race was bullshit. Behind the scenes was a secret technology war like a classified Spy vs. Spy of mind-blowing technology.
Anyway, have fun with this one.
*** This is now my defacto "dumbshit idea" thread. All further wild theories (and there will be more) of varying levels of intelligence will be placed here. This is sorta getting sad. ***
