We seen the same lights

[guohua]

My husband and I seen the same string of lights while we were at Bartlett Lake at about 08:30 PM Dec 3rd. 2020.
Except there were more lights and I'm sure these person didn't get them all.
I think we counted 33 craft and there was two grouped side by side like you see in the picture.
From where we sat by the fire looking West at the night sky my husband notice a light drop our of nowhere and traveling north and then one after another they all drop out of the same spot and traveled for about 30 seconds and popped out of sight, yes just vanished like they appeared.
Because we go fishing nd hunting with out our cell phones or cameras, we have no pictures.

String of lights seen in sky near Charlotte sparks UFO debate. What was it? 

I'm convinced it was either UFO's or our own Secret Space Force. 
It looked like these craft dropped out of a Wormhole and then entered another Wormhole and just vanished.

Multiple people have reported seeing an odd string of lights at night near Charlotte, igniting talk of UFOs on social media.
Photos shared Saturday on Facebook show what appears to be a string of lights floating over North Carolina’s Indian Trail community. The area is in Union County, just southeast of Charlotte.
“Anyone know what these lights were tonight?” Alisa Homewood asked on the “What’s Up Indian Trail?” community Facebook page. “No sound at all. They flickered like lanterns, but followed the same exact path up until they disappeared which was odd.“

That's pretty close to home. Indian Trail, NC, is where I had to go every year to re-qualify with my sidearm when I was a Custom Protection Officer. Charlotte is where I did bodyguard work for Bank of America executives.

Lots of strange things in NC. I'll add this to the list. it was just a couple years ago when hundreds of "mystery lights" were seen and filmed over the Atlantic Ocean just beyond the Outer Banks, the barrier island that guard the coast of NC.

North Carolina is the home of the Brown Mountain Lights.

Yup, lots of strange things in NC... kind of like the strange things to be found in the mountains near where you live!

he War Zone continues to dig into the bizarre U.S. Navy patents authored by enigmatic inventor Dr. Salvatore Pais and the seemingly unusual circumstances of their approval by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). As part of our investigation, we recently obtained a tranche of internal emails from Naval Air Systems Command, or NAVAIR, which appear to have been sent between Pais and personnel in different NAVAIR offices. While the Navy's exotic energy production patents remain as mysterious as ever, these emails add to the backstory surrounding the inventions of Salvatore Pais and suggest that the patents went through a more rigorous internal evaluation process than was previously known. The emails also seem to indicate that the research program that emanated from the patents did in fact result in an experimental demonstration of some sort.

Last year, the publication of several unusual patents assigned to the U.S. Navy raised eyebrows due to the seemingly radical and unconventional claims found within them. These patents included bizarre technologies such as a “high temperature superconductor,” a "high frequency gravitational wave generator," a force field-like "electromagnetic field generator," a “plasma compression fusion device,” and a hybrid aerospace/underwater craft featuring an "inertial mass reduction device." They truly sound like the stuff of science fiction and seem to describe the theoretical building blocks of a craft with UFO-like performance.

Each of the Navy inventions are credited to one Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais, who, at the time the patent applications were submitted, was an aerospace engineer at NAVAIR's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in Patuxent (Pax) River, Maryland. Every one of Pais' recent inventions depends on what the inventor calls “the Pais Effect,” described in numerous publications by the inventor as the “controlled motion of electrically charged matter (from solid to plasma) via accelerated spin and/or accelerated vibration under rapid (yet smooth) acceleration-deceleration-acceleration transients.”

Despite the fact that leadership at NAVAIR went to bat for the patents in appeals with the USPTO, the patents and their underlying concepts have largely been scoffed at by subject matter experts due to the lack of experimental evidence provided for them and their seeming similarity to controversial and highly theoretical concepts such as mass reduction or quantum vacuum engineering. Nevertheless, The War Zone obtained a statement from Dr. Pais in a series of email correspondences in which the inventor claimed his work will be proven correct "one fine day."
Internal NAWCAD And NAVAIR Emails Contain Additional Details
The internal NAVAIR emails The War Zone has recently obtained are all related to the creation of the patent application and internal review process for Pais’s seemingly bizarre “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device” patent. All names within this release have been redacted, but it appears possible that many of the emails could have been written by Dr. Salvatore Pais based on portions of email signatures left unredacted, not to mention the fact that they describe Pais’s patents and publications in the first person. Still, it's ultimately impossible to be 100% certain that these emails were indeed written by Pais himself despite The War Zone referring to the author as Pais throughout this reporting for simplicity.
While much remains unknown about these patents and their provenance, these emails offer a few new details about the internal processes Pais and other NAWCAD employees at Pax River undertook in getting some of the patents approved. For one, these emails reveal that Pais made an additional $700 between 2016 and 2018 from two separate incentive awards for the “Craft Using An Inertial Mass Reduction Device” patent.

The invention disclosure forms contained in these releases show that Pais claims several of his patents - “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device,” “Piezoelectricity-induced High Temperature Superconductor,” “High Frequency Gravitational Wave Generator,” and “Ultrahigh Intensity Electromagnetic Field Generator” - are all interrelated. The gravitational wave generator application was cited as a follow-up to both the electromagnetic wave generator application and the inertial mass reduction device application, and is also listed as a closely related patent in the high-temperature superconductor application.

All three of the invention disclosure forms (“Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device,” “Piezoelectricity-induced High Temperature Superconductor,” and “High Frequency Gravitational Wave Generator”) show that these inventions were disclosed to multiple employees at NAVAIR prior to application. 
The emails also show that Pais’s inventions were reviewed by the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) at Pax River. According to the NAWCAD TTO Director’s LinkedIn profile, the mission of this office is to “strive to advance the mission of NAWCAD and enhance the economic well-being of the nation” and that it “promotes the use of NAWCAD laboratories and test facilities, develops strategic partnerships with external customers and partners, and commercializes intellectual property.” 
Pais's inventions underwent “technical and marketing reviews” sometime in late 2015, after which Pais defended his inventions in front of the NAWCAD Invention Evaluation Board throughout 2016 and 2017. The inventions appear to have cleared this review process, as NAWCAD then subsequently submitted them individually to the USPTO for patent approval beginning in April 2016 with the "inertial mass reduction device" patent.

USN via FOIA
It was during the review period in late 2015 that the NAWCAD Office of Counsel cited U.S. Code of Federal Regulation 37 CFR § 501.6, which claims the Government has the right to any invention made by an employee during working hours, “with a contribution by the Government of facilities, equipment, materials, funds, or information,” or “which bears a direct relation to or is made in consequence of the official duties of the inventor.” NAWCAD was interested enough in Pais’s “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device” patent to cite this code and claim the patents for the U.S. Government.

USN via FOIA
In his invention disclosure form for the inertial mass reduction device patent, Pais signed and dated a form reading “As the invention described herein was made as a direct result of the performance of my assigned duties, I hereby agree to assign the entire right, title and interest in the invention to the government and I understand that I will retain no rights in the invention.” 
However, underneath Pais wrote that “There is no relationship whatsoever between my assigned duties and the invention. The invention was made independently of any job performance or assigned tasks by the Branch or Section.” He later wrote in the same disclosure form that “The entire Inventive Concept (Invention) and anything that pertains to it, was the inventor’s own work, with no government contribution whatsoever.”

USN via FOIA
It’s curious that NAWCAD would cite 37 CFR § 501.6 and that Pais would sign and date a form stating the invention was made “made as a direct result of the performance of my assigned duties” yet just lines later also write that there was no relationship between his duties and the invention. The inventions were also evaluated by several internal NAWCAD/NAVAIR review boards and vouched for to the USPTO by NAWCAD leadership, despite apparently having no direct correlation to Pais's assigned duties.
Pais writes in the same form that his duties as an Aerospace Engineer for NAWCAD at the time included working in Fuel Thermal Management Systems design and analysis for aircraft such as the F-18, F-35, and P-8A, as well as working on programs such as the Naval Power, Avionics, and Thermal Laboratory (NPATH), Variable Cycle Advanced Technology (VCAT), and Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS).
After one of his academic papers describing the patents was accepted for publication in 2016, Pais wrote in an email to several NAVAIR employees that “What is most unique about this paper is that it has already won the approval of Dr. [REDACTED], one of the world’s top authorities in Advanced Power and Propulsion/Quantum Vacuum Engineering, who has given his unreserved approval of this paper, calling it “a very good paper.” [REDACTED] has also forwarded the paper to several of his colleagues, including [REDACTED], another top subject matter expert.”

USN via FOIA
It’s unknown who the names redacted in this email may be, but there are a few likely candidates based on how small the fields of "Advanced Power and Propulsion" and "Quantum Vacuum Engineering" are. Works by two of the world’s authorities on the intersection of these topics, perennial ‘weird science’ contract stalwart Hal Puthoff and aerospace engineer H. David Froning, were included along with the patent application for Pais's "craft using an inertial mass reduction device" as “Non-Patent Literature Documents.” 

USPTO
Froning has published extensive USAF-funded studies on hypersonic vehicle design and using directed energy to aid in aircraft propulsion. In addition, the Australian-based Froning has published peer-reviewed studies on “new directions in electromagnetism for propulsion and power” and using specially-conditioned electromagnetic fields to control nuclear fusion reactions - some of the same technologies patented by Pais on behalf of the U.S. Navy over the last several years.
Froning authored the 2016 book The Halcyon Years of Air and Space Flight: And the Continuing Quest, an examination of the “remaining barriers facing our next big steps in air and space” that offers examples of “material and energy systems and propulsion and flight systems that may be needed to overcome them.” Oddly enough, an Amazon user under the title "Salvatore Cezar Pais, Ph.D." appears to have left the book a glowing five-star Amazon review in mid-2016, and noted that the essence of the book is the development of "advanced field propulsion by the engineering of the quantum vacuum.” It's impossible to know if this book review was indeed written by Pais himself, although it's worth noting it was posted years before Pais's patents were made public, which thrust his name into the public eye.

Amazon
Ultimately, it’s unknown who the redacted subject matter experts in the email represent. Still, some of the language in the review of Froning’s book echoes the language in some of these internal NAVAIR emails. In the same email sent on April 20, 2016, Pais wrote to numerous NAVAIR employees that “the enablement of extreme craft speeds, and thus the feasibility of intergalactic travel using current engineering materials and methods, is made possible with this publication,” while this book review wrote that Froning's research "takes us several steps toward our ultimate civilizational goal of Intergalactic Flight" and "can occur with state of the art materials and engineering methods."
Pais closes the April 20, 2016 email by adding “One thing is for sure, the existence of this technical paper and its current acceptance by foremost authorities in the field will greatly facilitate the patent examination process, hopefully culminating in two essential patents for the technologically advanced future of the Navy.”

USN via FOIA
Nine days later, Pais wrote that the patent application had been filed with the USPTO, writing “[REDACTED] has done an admirable job and produced an exceptional patent application, [REDACTED] work is highly commendable. The inventive concept due to its simplicity and minimalism, despite its advanced quantum vacuum physics, pays homage to Occam’s Razor. Thank you Sir for your recommendation and your continued support.” It may be that Pais is referring Mark Glut, NAWCAD's patent attorney at the time of the patent application. As noted in our previous reporting, Glut was awarded power of attorney throughout the patent application process for the “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device.”
In a May 2017 email, Pais writes that “[Redacted] is a formidable patent lawyer,” adding that “these advanced concepts were not easy to translate into easily understandable and technically admittable patent applications.” In the same email, Pais thanks the recipient for his “vision and leadership,” writing that “our discussions have generated many great ideas” and that Pais is “extremely grateful to you for understanding and backing them.”

USN via FOIA
In our previous reporting on Pais’s patents, we noted that he has publicly thanked Naval Aviation Enterprise Chief Technology Officer Dr. James Sheehy in academic publications for his “many hours of thought-provoking discussions on the concept at hand.” In the emails related to the high-temperature superconductor patent, an unknown individual from the Naval Aviation Enterprise writes that “the concept has strong theoretical backing” and offers their help in the patent application process. As we have previously reported, Sheehy stepped in to write statements to the USPTO personally attesting to the operability and enablement of the concepts in Pais's inventions.

USN via FOIA
After the patent application for “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device” was submitted, an unknown individual from the Naval Aviation Enterprise congratulated Pais, writing “Congratulations!! Now to build a small demo to put the theory into a demo. The sec 219 BAR/TT [Basic Applied Research/Technology Transfer] call is out - could be the genesis of a BAR/TT project.” It could be that this individual was Dr. Sheehy. In his LinkedIn profile, Sheehy writes that "as CTO he oversees and advocates the selection of S&T [Science & Technology] for the NAE," while the individual in this email includes "ST" in their signature. Ultimately the identity of this individual remains unknown due to the level of redaction in this email.

They could have been nothing else but Space Ships.
All of them (25 or 30) we witnessed drop out of a single point in space and then travel silently for thousands of miles (25 seconds each) to the small place in space and just vanished.
If we had our cameras or cell phones there would have been 6 or 8 minutes of video.
Not a sound but a single bight light moving rapidly evenly spaced between each other except for the two that were side by side.
Very high in the night sky, if you had not noticed the lights moving and in a straight line, you would never had known this occurred.

I don't think so.
These objects appeared like the Blink Of Your Eye out of nowhere and traveled in a straight line one behind the other evenly spaced for about 25 seconds and then Blinked Out, they vanished.
No deeming, no fading of their light, Just Poof they were gone.

Sounds  like they jumped to hyperspace. In order to do this, a ship must be equipped with a hyperdrive, which mean alien techology

That is what we think happened, they dropped out for a little while to check their location or to just let Earthlings know we are not alone.

But,,, you need to think about the SSF (Secret Space Force) which is well documented we have with other aliens.

U.S. Navy controls inventions that claim to change "fabric of reality"

Inventions with revolutionary potential made by a mysterious aerospace engineer for the U.S. Navy come to light.

• U.S. Navy holds patents for enigmatic inventions by aerospace engineer Dr. Salvatore Pais.
  
• He came up with technology that can "engineer" reality, devising an ultrafast craft, a fusion reactor and more.
  
• While mostly theoretical at this point, the inventions could transform energy, space, and military sectors.
  

The U.S. Navy controls patents for some futuristic and outlandish technologies, some of which, dubbed "the UFO patents," came to life recently. Of particular note are inventions by the somewhat mysterious Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais, whose tech claims to be able to "engineer reality". His slate of highly-ambitious, borderline sci-fi designs meant for use by the U.S. government range from gravitational wave generators and compact fusion reactors to next-gen hybrid aerospace-underwater crafts with revolutionary propulsion systems, and beyond.
Of course, the existence of patents does not mean these technologies have actually been created but there is evidence that some demonstrations of operability have been successfully carried out. As investigated and reported by The War Zone, a possible reason why some of the patents may have been taken on by the Navy is that the Chinese military might also be developing similar advanced gadgets.
Among Dr. Pais's patents are designs, approved in 2018, for an aerospace-underwater craft of incredible speed and maneuverability. This cone-shaped vehicle can potentially fly as well anywhere it may be, whether air, water or space, without leaving any heat signatures. It can achieve so by being able to create a quantum vacuum around itself with a very dense polarized energy field. This vacuum would allow it to repel any molecule the craft comes in contact with, no matter the medium. Manipulating "quantum field fluctuations in the local vacuum energy state," would help reduce the craft's inertia. The polarized vacuum would dramatically reduce any elemental resistance and lead to "extreme speeds," claims the paper.
Not only that, if the vacuum-creating technology can be engineered, we'd also be able to "engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level," states the patent. This would lead to major advancements in aerospace propulsion and generating power. Not to mention other reality-changing outcomes that come to mind.
Among Pais's other patents are inventions that stem from similar thinking, outlining pieces of technology necessary to make his creations come to fruition. His paper presented in 2019, titled "Room Temperature Superconducting System for Use on a Hybrid Aerospace Undersea Craft," presents a system that can achieve superconductivity at room temperatures. This would become "a highly disruptive technology, capable of a total paradigm change in Science and Technology," conveys Pais.

Another invention devised by Pais is an electromagnetic field generator that could generate "an impenetrable defensive shield to sea and land as well as space-based military and civilian assets". This shield could protect from threats like anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles that evade radar, coronal mass ejections, military satellites, and even asteroids.
Dr. Pais's ideas center around the phenomenon he dubbed "The Pais Effect". He referred to it in his writings as the "controlled motion of electrically charged matter (from solid to plasma) via accelerated spin and/or accelerated vibration under rapid (yet smooth) acceleration-deceleration-acceleration transients." In less jargon-heavy terms, Pais claims to have figured out how to spin electromagnetic fields in order to contain a fusion reaction – an accomplishment that would lead to a tremendous change in power consumption and an abundance of energy.
According to his bio in a recently published paper on a new Plasma Compression Fusion Device, which could transform energy production, Dr. Pais is a mechanical and aerospace engineer working at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), which is headquartered in Patuxent River, Maryland. Holding a Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, Pais was a NASA Research Fellow and worked with Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. His current Department of Defense work involves his "advanced knowledge of theory, analysis, and modern experimental and computational methods in aerodynamics, along with an understanding of air-vehicle and missile design, especially in the domain of hypersonic power plant and vehicle design." He also has expert knowledge of electrooptics, emerging quantum technologies (laser power generation in particular), high-energy electromagnetic field generation, and the "breakthrough field of room temperature superconductivity, as related to advanced field propulsion."
Suffice it to say, with such a list of research credentials that would make Nikola Tesla proud, Dr. Pais seems well-positioned to carry out groundbreaking work.

The patents won't necessarily lead to these technologies ever seeing the light of day. The research has its share of detractors and nonbelievers among other scientists, who think the amount of energy required for the fields described by Pais and his ideas on electromagnetic propulsions are well beyond the scope of current tech and are nearly impossible. Yet investigators at The War Zone found comments from Navy officials that indicate the inventions are being looked at seriously enough, and some tests are taking place.
