Of all Carl's weird friends, perhaps physicist-medical engineer Eldon Byrd is among the shadowyest. Byrd lived in Maryland close to where The Exorcist incident actually took place, and this stimulated the government toward supernatural research.

Military researcher and speaker Byrd was an expert in nonlethal EMF weaponry and electromagnetic aspects of living bodies - on cells, tissues, thoughts and whole populations. He worked in acoustics, amplification and transduction. He published a paper on the telemetry of brain waves in the "Proceedings" of the International Telemetering Conference, 1972.

He particpated in panels for USPA on scalar physics and biofields with Tom Bearden, Elizabeth Rauscher, Bob Beck and others. In his later years, like Carl, he seems to have taken a humanistic turn toward his fellow man, perhaps as a reaction to earlier research and proprietary knowledge he was exposed to in the course of his professional life.

USPA 1993. Psychoactivity of Extremely Low Frequency EM and Scalar Fields: A lecture by Dr. Eldon Byrd, a government scientist “formerly” with the US Naval Weapons Lab, who discusses the relationship of intention and connection-at-a-distance between organisms, psychoactive signals, some of the history of beta-endorphin research, the up-and-coming research in bio-optics, how electromagnetic stimulation can and does have the capability to induce an “alien” experience, the relationship between opiate compounds and the immune system, brain-immune system communication, behavior-affecting ELF/RF weaponry, and more.

In 1973 Byrd was a physicist at the U.S. Naval Surface Weapons Center, Silver Spring Maryland, also home of MRU. His story appears in J. Keith's Secret and Suppressed. 1993 and Lobster Magazine (Britain) 1998-#34.

The inside track has it that Byrd was close enough to Carl to stay in his apartment. In general, what astounded Carl the most was Byrd's secret inventorying and evaluation of all the captured German secret superweapons. These projects of WWII tied into Krippner's Airforce/Rand connection. REAL (scalar) Kirlian photography could be used to test for microcracks in airplane structural parts, but could also conversely CAUSE cracks in an engine mount or wing root just by turning up the power.

Byrd was also able to correctly predict the Soviets would ultimately cease to be a world power in 1984, because he learned it from a time traveller who allegedly turned up in the streets of Silver Springs, according to inside sources. In May 1983, for no reason Byrd launched into a long reminiscence on the phone about his work with ESAKI and BRIAN JOSEPHSON at the Univ.of Illinois in 1965, when another MRU associate was developing the tunnel diode, which Josephson and Esaki shared the Nobel Prize for in 1973.

Almost nobody knows that as of 1985, Josephson and Byrd were still very close. Eldon was in charge of evaluating all the captured data of Heisenberg's group during the war. They had a thing called a "dioden tunnel" which was about the same as a tunnel diode. When a dioden tunnel is used as the switch to collapse a magnetic field, the collapse could be so fast that the harmonics would extend all the way to light, xrays and beyond. Josephson had figured out an explanation and they were still involved in it after hours at naval surface weapons at White Marsh, Maryland. They called it "sparking the vacuum."

When Eldon Byrd died of cancer, some suggested it was under suspicious circumstances. Whether he was 'ethical' or not depends on your point of view. Realizing the nature of his EMF weaponry research before his death he became somewhat of an advocate for mind control victims, trying to help them measure the signals they are harassed with. Having worked with such technologies he knew claims could be legitimate and he validated that claims were seriously worth investigating. He also funded Dr. Adey's LIDA machine, testing for therapeutic effects.

From 1980 to 1983, Byrd ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md. "We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it," he says. Byrd, a specialist in medical engineering and bioeffects, funded small research projects. All this took place in the MRU/MRF era. The electronic and medical engineer wrote the original human experimentation protocols for the Navy in 1981, and 'wrote the book' on ELF weapons. He also researched counteracting adverse electromagnetic fields with Qigong, and a near 8 Hz focused mind activity. Interactions of Weak Non-Linear Fields with Biological Processes (1984) and later he wrote on Scalar Physics.

Dr. Eldon Byrd, in the first issue of
	Megabrain Report described scalar fields in the following way: 

		I look at scalars strictly as information. . . Could
		it be that we live in a sea of information?  Not in
		the form of electromagnetic energy, not acoustic 
		energy, but a whole other form of energy which we 
		currently have no instruments to measure.  It's a 
		sea of information.  It's just there.  It doesn't 
		take any time for it to propagate from one point 
		in time and space to another because it has nothing 
		to do with time and space.  Scalars are just infor-
		mation, and they are not bound by the same laws that 
		govern matter or energy.

		A hologram results from the destructive and constructive
	interference of two superimposed coherent electromagnetic energy 
	wave patterns.  As a field of interference, a hologram is indepen-
	dent of direction and velocity.  It is pure information.  A hologram 
	is also independent of space and time: illuminate a small portion 
	of the hologram, and spherically distributed information of the 
	whole is available in the part.  A hologram is a scalar field.<9>

		The production of synchronized, coherent electromagnetic 
	energy by the human brain at a given frequency leads to a "laser-
	like" condition increasing the amplitude and strength of the brain-
	waves.  It also generates a scalar field containing the total
	"information" of that individual. 

1981: Eldon Byrd develops EM devices for riot control --

Scientist Eldon Byrd, who worked for the Naval Surface Weapons Office, was commissioned in 1981 to develop electromagnetic devices for purposes including riot control, clandestine operations and hostage removal. (11)

In the context of a controversy over reproductive hazards to Video Display Terminal (VDT) operators, he wrote of alterations in brain function of animals exposed to low intensity fields. Offspring of exposed animals "exhibited a drastic degradation of intelligence later in life... couldn't learn easy tasks... indicating a very definite and irreversible damage to the central nervous system of the fetus." With VDT operators exposed to weak fields, there have been clusters of miscarriages and birth defects (with evidence of central nervous system damage to the fetus). Byrd also wrote of experiments where behavior of animals was controlled by exposure to weak electromagnetic fields. "At a certain frequency and power intensity, they could make the animal purr, lay down and roll over."

Low-frequency sleep induction --

From 1980 to 1983 [. . . ] Eldon Byrd ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md.

"We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it," he says.
Byrd, a specialist in medical engineering and bioeffects, funded small research projects, including a paper on vortex weapons by Obolensky. He conducted experiments on animals--and even on himself--to see if brain waves would move into sync with waves impinging on them from the outside. (He found that they would, but the effect was short lived.) http://www.usnews.com/usnews/culture/articles/970707/archive_007360_2.htm

By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation--the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum--he found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor," he says, by hitting them with these frequencies. "We got chick brains--in vitro--to dump 80 percent of the natural opioids in their brains," Byrd says. He even ran a small project that used magnetic fields to cause certain brain cells in rats to release histamine.

In humans, this would cause instant flulike symptoms and produce nausea. "These fields were extremely weak. They were undetectable," says Byrd. "The effects were nonlethal and reversible. You could disable a person temporarily," Byrd hypothesizes. "It [would have been] like a stun gun."

Byrd never tested any of his hardware in the field, and his program, scheduled for four years, apparently was closed down after two, he says. "The work was really outstanding," he grumbles. "We would have had a weapon in one year." Byrd says he was told his work would be unclassified, "unless it works." Because it worked, he suspects that the program "went black."

Other scientists tell similar tales of research on electromagnetic radiation turning top secret once successful results were achieved. There are clues that such work is continuing.

In 1995, the annual meeting of four-star U.S. Air Force generals--called CORONA--reviewed more than 1,000 potential projects. One was called "Put the Enemy to Sleep/Keep the Enemy From Sleeping." It called for exploring "acoustics," "microwaves," and "brain-wave manipulation" to alter sleep patterns. It was one of only three projects approved for initial investigation.

He presented a paper on dowsing and the psychic ability of plants at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Ira Einhorn. Other attendees included Andrija Puharich and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 189)

The stage magician Randi accused friend Uri Gellar and Eldon Byrd of a blackmail plot to ruin him. In an interview with Twilight Zone Magazine, Randi accused Uri Geller and Eldon Byrd of being the ringleaders in a criminal blackmail plot aimed at destroying Randi. Byrd sued Randi; the jury found that Randi's claim regarding Byrd was defamatory, but awarded Byrd $0 in damages

To Whom It May Concern

This letter of recommendation has been prepared to introduce and support both a technology and a person. The person is Cheryl Welsh, a law student and researcher who is engaged in trying to find out what is behind the thousands of cases of reported abuse against humans that is causing pain and suffering to innocent victims. The technology is one which, if applied malevolently, could cause the abuse.

Cheryl Welsh claims to be an ordinary person who is being harassed by a technology that causes a great deal of anxiety in her life. However, I have found her to be an extraordinary person with an extraordinary ability to thoroughly research a complex topic and draw reasonable conclusions--a talent that will serve her well in her future career as an attorney.

The technology she is investigating opens the door to the possibility that humans are being used as subjects in a massive, worldwide experiment to test mind control techniques. Although there is no hard evidence for such a claim, the 'dirty hands' of governments in the the past (the Third Reich, e.g., and several well known and documented human experiments by other governments, including our own) to experiment on its citizens without their permission, makes her claims plausible.

In an effort to determine the source of what appears to be an obvious intrusion into the minds of unsuspecting individuals, Cheryl Welsh has formed CAHRA [now Mind Justice], Citizens Against Human Rights Abuse--a non-profit organization dedicated to looking into the problem. CAHRA (almost exclusively through her efforts) has amassed a huge data base of articles, statements, and opinions by experts and victims, including much from the former Soviet Union. The time has come to convert the anecdotal data base into hard evidence, and that is what she, with the help of others under her direction, will focus their attention.

I am qualified to evaluate the technology involved, having been in charge of the US Marine Corps Electromagnetic Non-lethal Weapons Development Project in the early 1980's, wherein it was shown that it was possible to alter the behavior of animals with magnetic fields, and entrain human brain waves remotely. Since then, the technology has progressed to the point where even genetic engineering with fields is possible and demonstrable. That the technology to inflict mind control on human beings exists is beyond question. What Cheryl Welsh intends to examine is if it is being used, and if so, by whom? She should be listened to, not dismissed, and she should be supported, not demeaned. What she has uncovered and will uncover is important to the future of mankind, regardless of whether the technology is now being used, because it's potential for abuse is very real and of concern to us all.

Eldon A. Byrd

Dr. Eldon Byrd.

From 1980 to 1983, Dr. Eldon Byrd ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md. During this time, Dr. Byrd stated, "We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it…"

By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation—the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum—Dr. Byrd found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor" by hitting them with these very low frequencies. "We got chick brains—in vitro—to dump 80 percent of the natural opioids in their brains," Dr. Byrd said.

Dr. Byrd reported that he even ran a small project using magnetic fields to cause certain brain cells in rats to release histamine. In humans, this would cause instant flulike symptoms and produce nausea. "These fields were extremely weak. They were undetectable. The effects were nonlethal and reversible. You could disable a person temporarily. It [would have been] like a stun gun," Dr. Byrd noted.

 

- An individual who was contracted by the U.S. Naval Lab to perform "mental influence" tests to attempt to bend Nitinol with the mind's energy said that NASA was there. He told me in a recent interview that "People in plainclothes from NASA were present at all times during these tests. I couldn't understand why." Why would NASA be at the US Naval Lab overseeing psychic tests on a metal? See this article's next section for details on these bizarre Mind-Over-Matter tests conducted on Nitinol.

THE FINAL SECRETS OF ROSWELL'S MEMORY METAL REVEALED
by Anthony Bragalia
• NASA sought to develop shape-recovery material for use in their own spacecraft. A "self-healing" material, or a material that can "remember" itself for future function would be very valuable. If the metal could morph, the shape of the craft could be changed to best suit the environment it is traversing. If the metal responds to direction given by the mind's energy, new control and navigation systems could be developed. This would be the ultimate in Mind-Machine interface.

• An extraordinarily telling video that can now be viewed online proves that NASA is perfecting such shape-recovery metals as "intelligent," adaptive materials of construction for spacecraft. This (short) video can be seen by "Googling" the phrase (in quotes) "NASA Morphing Metal." Any of the seven search results that appear will link to sites that show this technology-transfer film from NASA's Center for Excellence in Materials. You can then visually grasp just how amazing memory material can be: It can absorb the impact of a crash, like at Roswell. It can function as a novel actuator. It can even be used to create advanced craft with "flappable" or adaptable wings! And a craft that appears small when seen from the outside -once entered- can then appear very large when inside. Actuators and panels made of memory metal can create this effect by expanding the interior walls and floors and extending the craft's frame. Interestingly, this very effect has been reported by some who claim to have entered "flying saucers."

MIND, MATTER AND MORPHING

This unique metal combination holds a significance so special that it was tested by the U.S. Government to see if it could be altered by the human mind! This is revealed in a decades-old technical summary report found completed by the U.S. Naval Lab. In the early 1970's the U.S. government tested Nitinol to see if it could "morph" using only the mind's energy. Could "psychokinesis" affect this shape-recovery material? Would an "intelligent metal" like Nitinol respond to the energy generated by the intelligent mind?

Physical scientist Eldon Byrd was employed by the U.S. Naval Lab and other government agencies for decades. In his paper "Influence on Metal Alloy Nitinol" (1973 Naval Surface Weapons Center, White Oak Laboratory, Silver Spring, MD) Byrd outlines tests that were performed that year using "psychics" to try to change the hardness of the material, deform it in some distinct way or to alter its magnetic properties. The tests were in part successful. A permanent "knot" was induced in the material preventing its famous "snap back." Within this knotted section, unusual microscopic changes in its the material's structure were observed. The introduction of energy is required to create a morphing change in the metal. Typically this "introduced energy" is heat. But it appeared that the mind's "energy" could also create the morph.

Incredibly, it was none other than Dr. Fred Wang, Nitinol's "official" co-inventor who conducted these Mind-Over-Memory Metal tests, according to Wang's colleague Eldon Byrd! As mentioned earlier, it is also this very Dr. Wang who cites by footnote the (now missing) 1949 Battelle report on Nickel and Titanium in one of his own Nitinol studies! The scientist who conducted psychic influence tests on the material is the same scientist who had access to the "missing" late 1940's Battelle reports on memory metal likely inspired by the Roswell crash debris!

Some years ago in talking to skeptic Martin Gardner, Wang denied being present at the Naval Lab when these strange tests were conducted. But Eldon Byrd begs to differ. In a 2001 interview Byrd says that the scientist is lying. Byrd charges that Wang "yielded to the pressure put on him" and adds "he did the tests. I had the results in the form of photos and X-rays." When I asked of Wang what he thought of Byrd's assertation, Wang this time did not deny his presence at the tests but instead replied, "Byrd says a lot of things."
