Here is an interesting developement.

Very interesting! Doesn't this show, or even proove, "they" (Air Force c.s.) know more (about UAP/UFO) than they tell us?

However, it does not look handy for transporting people, the orbs we "know" are/have an integrated powersource. Thinking of patenting etc. it seems they can use governmental (the peoples) money to enrich themselves while at the same time keeping "the people"/society in the dark... It cuts both ways, it seems annoying AND very interesting at the same time, to me.

No. The researcher is an academic at the University of Florida. He is working on the results of his own research undertaken with Air Force sponsorship. That does not prove anything about the extent of what the Air Force knows about UFOs, just that someone devised a means of producing thrust when conducting research that they sponsored. I assume that he devises a project and then approaches the Air Force for funding, as that is how scientific research is usually done. Plasma research may hold interest for the Air Force for a number of reasons, one might be to study the feasibility of propulsion systems of the future (a long way off). I don't think that the Air Force currently have craft that use this method of propulsion, otherwise why would they even need to fund this guy's research? Their possessing such a craft would suggest that they already know more than he does about it. And then what would be the point of their spending all the money they do on relatively conventional aircraft like the F-22 and F-35? If you suggest that these projects are somehow tied to the reverse engineering of alien spacecraft, then that would imply that the Air Force is supplying him with secret information, which he is then publicizing, which does not make any sense.

Not that this will prove anything or not, but, there is the old saying " The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing."
I have seen this in industry. Don't know why it wouldn't take place in the military as well, specially where ultra-secret projects are concerned.

Right, especially within higher military the amount of testosteron is quite high, resulting in lots of wasted energy, time and money just to have all kinds of projects that make a manly impression. I'm very serious here.

The combined knowledge of what Nazi Germany was already experimenting with (Projekt Flügelrad) AND what I've seen myself to be an UAP/orb upclose, might well result in the design in these pictures. I mean, it is quite simple to escape from gravity by (fastly) turning around in circles, so just combine it with any kind of directional force and presto....

So, presuming that what I saw through binoculars was an "orb" showing what it looked like from up close, and this being an unusual event, is kind of proof to me that an agency spending ultra amounts of man hours searching for UFO etc., must have at least found something similar that I did on my own? And so, most probably must have had a lot more knowledge since they at least know from 1947 onwards and I only since 2008.

They already have an advantage of 50 years. Then start calculating the man hours and it must be clear that they should be way, way ahead. And if not, that must be an extremely embarrassing waste of professional leadership.
