   I'd believe if independent researchers (like you) can duplicate the   
   experiment, or test a released product.   
      
   I've had plenty of fun doing fake UFOs, trick photography, theatrical and   
   movie effects and laboratory magic tricks as well as dog-and-pony shows to   
   impress investors and I know how easy it is to reinforce rebellion against   
   the authority of established science.   
      
   It's possible that the flying toys I released as a kid in Exeter NH started   
   their UFO craze. The most likely ones were plastic film parachutes with the   
   least possible ballast, which floated up on thermals like milkweed seeds.   
   They did look like flying saucers as they drifted away over the treetops,   
   reflecting the sun and clouds.

   I'm glad you are attempting your own proof. That is the right attitude. My   
   mindset in a research project is to be very careful with the procedure and   
   try not to become so hopeful or skeptical that I overlook anything. Keep   
   good records.
