Notes
This book consists primarily of interviews with John Searl, who claims he developed antigravity/free energy devices including crafts that allegedly flew into space. These devices were purportedly the results of a series of recurring dreams he had as a boy.

As an antigravity researcher who has conducted numerous scientific experiments over the years in this area, I have significant problems with his claims. He supposedly built his first SEG (Searl effect generator) when he was 14, and claimed he ultimately went on to build over 40 such devices. It is alleged that he demonstrated these craft for countless hundreds or thousands of people over the decades, and his devices were filmed by numerous camera crews working for various TV networks, including the BBC, and were seen by millions on Canadian TV. The problem is that he apparently cannot produce one person who witnessed these craft or any film or video footage of these devices. In fact, he doesn't even have a single photograph of an actual SEG. The photos in the back of the book show only wooden frames; at no time do you ever see the "drive unit" itself. The photos that show the disc hovering in the air are actually superimposed.

The devices were apparently built on "the law of the squares", his own mathematical theory which appears to be nonsensical. He has written a series of books on the "law of the squares", which he and the author are selling for a minimum of $[$$] per volume, or hundreds of dollars for all of the books. He has claimed that he wants to give his knowledge to the world, but has never given any level of detail which would allow anyone to replicate his "inventions".

...

Searl and the author claim they do not have a working device due to lack of funds, which they are seeking. One wonders how Searl received funding in the '40s and '50s sufficient to build at least 40 devices, some which were claimed to be over 40 feet in diameter, and orbited the planet for ten years. Without any corroborating evidence, these claims are simply not credible. In the end of the book, Searl predicts that there will be a pole shift on 5-5-2000 that will devastate the planet. Perhaps he should have simply stuck to his claims of producing antigravity.
