Anatomy of a UFO - Negative Mass observation and extension

I have just finished my first read of 'The Anatomy of a Flying Saucer' Mike, J. (2012).

This is not a review of the book, I just wanted to write that I really enjoyed the approach taken with the text, which is fundamentally 'lets take observations and determine the science from those'.  The concept of a spinning negative mass ring to explain the important elements of UFO motion is a grand achievement - primarily because the application of the concept works to explain nearly all the mysteries. The benefit of the achievement is obtaining a valid construct for exploration - i.e. even if some of the details turn out to be off-center, we still gain ground with our understanding.

Researching negative mass was one of the next things I was going to research when today I spotted a New Scientist article titled 'Sound waves are a form of antigravity because they have negative mass'. It comes from a paper from Angelo Esposito, Rafael Krichevsky, and Alberto Nicolis (link to PDF) which proposes that sound waves carry mass and the value appears to be negative. This is not the first appearance of negative mass - apparently in 2014 scientists created a fluid which displayed the expected properties. I do not understand the equations involved in each of the papers and it should be noted that the effect/quantity of the negative mass in each case is rather small and at certain temperatures. The main point is the discoveries are a significant milestone in the path to recreating some of this exotic tech (or at least understanding it) - in the case of the fluid that this thing can even exist, and in the case of the soundwaves that we know where to look for it and can work practical experiments towards the detection of the effect. It will obviously take many years before we can create/manufacture large quantities of the stuff but just knowing it is possible and demonstrating the effect lands it squarely in our real world. Understanding extraterrestrial tech may pave the way to practical applications - e.g. being able to defend ourselves from our uninvited guests.

While it's in my head, I wanted to continue Mike John's extrapolation process to add some more detail. He talks about the negative mass inside the saucer ring being basically equal to the external mass of the saucer/craft so a valid next step might be to recognize that because the overall mass of the saucer will undoubtedly vary during its trip e.g. occupants get out or pick up cows or gold or whatever it is they collect on their visits here. If we do accept that a cargo carrying capacity exists, then the total quantity of negative mass must also be variable. This suggests they have the capacity to create or convert whatever is required using the resources of the craft itself (energy and materials, assuming of course the current dimension holds them to those limitations).

From a practicality perspective we might assume the cargo capacity of the craft is defined by the material in the ring 'system', and that the system is closed (i.e. no new injection). The simplest explanation is that they simply use some form of ballast to offset their equilibrium each time - in exactly the same way a balloon might use sandbag. In this case we should look for evidence of venting or discharge from the craft when we see things taken aboard.

The more difficult explanation (for my extension) is that they have a way to partially utilize (manipulate) the amount of negative mass available. For example maybe the ring total mass is (-)40 tons, but only 30 tons is utilized for negative mass, so the positive mass of the craft might be 10 tons of non-utilized ring material and allows 10 tons of structural and 10 tons of occupants and effects. If an additional 10 tons of material (cows) are brought on board then the remainder of the ring material could then be utilized but at that point the saucer is fully loaded and could not carry any more. This is a more difficult scenario to swallow compared to the ballast explanation - especially since the ring material is supposed to be spinning at a very high velocity and any positive mass in this spinning system would instantly destroy the components (according to John Mike's thesis), but there is also the possibility the mass is a gas (e.g. torus spinning in a chamber) which could be readily injected. Alternatively, the ring system may be comprised of individual multiple rings, each activated as required?



If negative mass is created initially from existing materials then something very dense would make sense, and the rest of the craft as lightweight as possible so that cargo capacity was maximized (that's possibly what we see in the lightweight materials of the Roswell crash). In any case, for any saucer crash, I would suppose that any rupture of the structure would see any escaped negative mass debri on a similar trajectory to any helium balloon - escaping into the atmosphere and presumably disintegrating (burning up) in the atmosphere on it's way out, meaning that we will not readily find the interesting stuff at crash sites. In any case, the idea that the saucer hits the ground (from gravity) indicates that the negative mass system has failed in some fashion - either from the material escaping the system or the generation effect failing. Finding out the details will be fun.
