Pares explains how pilots caught in thunderstorms have experienced unexplained linear displacements of 100 to 300 miles, most notably Bruce Gernon in 1970, whose Beechcraft Bonanza traversed from Bimini to Miami Beach in roughly one second. Drawing on Miguel Alcubierre's 1994 theoretical framework and the discovery of antimatter generation within thunderstorms, Pares details how his team replicated cross-field conditions in the laboratory using custom-built fractal antenna arrays.
His experiments at less than 100 watts have produced measurable laser compression, redshift, and movement of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials toward the motor. Now building Model 14 with plans to scale up to 4,000 watts, Pares projects that the exponential relationship between power input and spatial compression could eventually allow his quarter-scale Bluebird 2 craft to lift off the ground by year's end.
Key Moments
The 45 seconds that redirected a life: At sixteen, taking flying lessons at Goodyear Lake, Pares watched a silver disc come over a mountain, bank without losing altitude, then accelerate out of sight in silence. He dropped sports for science the next day.
Bruce Gernon's 100-mile jump: On December 4, 1970, pilot Bruce Gernon flew his Bonanza into a 'sucker hole' between two thunderstorm cells near Bimini. Clouds rotated and touched his wingtips; he experienced weightlessness; tower radar showed no plane in Bimini and one over Miami Beach. He arrived at West Palm Beach 28 minutes early using 9 gallons less fuel than normal.
Antimatter inside thunderstorms: Pares cites the 2010 Fermi spacecraft discovery that thunderstorms produce trillions of positrons, generating over 500,000 electron volts. Combined with tripole electrical fields between adjacent storms, this creates the conditions for natural space-warp bubbles.
Compressing the laser in the lab: Pares's team built an interferometer with a laser passed through a V-shaped fractal-array motor inside a Faraday cage. With the system on, the projected fringe pattern compresses; off, it returns to normal. They also detected redshift, indicating frequencies pulled into the engine.
Pulling matter through a Faraday cage: Inside an isolated glass-and-wood case, a freely suspended torsion bar with both ferrous and non-ferrous weights is consistently drawn toward the V-shaped engine, regardless of material. At 900 watts the team measures 0.36 newtons of force; they project exponential gains as power scales to 4,000 watts.
