For over 80 years, covert research into exotic propulsion, anti-gravity systems, and spacetime manipulation has been housed within deep black programs, classified efforts shielded from both public and congressional oversight.
Now, on April 14, 2025, Michael Katzios, the new White House science chief, made a bold claim: “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space...” Shortly after, he doubled down, promising innovations that would let us “bend time and space” and “drive us further into the endless frontier.” These weren’t offhand remarks, they were published on the official White House site, signaling intent.
What does "Manipulating Spacetime" really mean? Spacetime is the four-dimensional framework of our universe. Per Einstein’s theory, mass and energy warp this fabric, creating gravity and affecting time. To manipulate it would mean bending reality itself, shortening distances, warping time, or enabling faster-than-light travel.
Just days before Katzios’ remarks, President Trump said: “We have a weapon that no one has a clue what it is... more powerful than anything even close.” Was he referencing to a spacetime weapon?
Trump isn’t the first high-level figure to hint at such capabilities. Back in 2019, Lt. Gen. Steve Kwast publicly discussed technology capable of transporting a person anywhere on Earth in under an hour, suggesting real-world applications of physics far beyond current norms. He also touched on wireless, space-based energy transmission.
Rumors have long circulated about transatmospheric vehicles, craft capable of seamless operation both within Earth’s atmosphere and in space. Though unconfirmed, these platforms may represent a technological bridge between known aerospace systems and genuine spacetime engineering. (Consider Gary McKinnon’s 2002 discovery during his hack of U.S. military systems: references to a secret space fleet and "non-terrestrial officers.")
But it is not only about manipulating time and space.
What might they also have: Anti-Gravity Propulsion: Altering inertia with plasma or exotic materials, referenced in Navy patents. Warp Drives: Bending space around a craft to move without motion. Zero-Point Energy: Tapping the quantum vacuum for limitless energy, a paradigm-shifting source of power.
But why some groups want to keep it secret? There are compelling reasons for secrecy, none of them rooted in public interest:
Control of Power – Whoever controls this tech controls the future. Economic Impact – It would collapse the fossil fuel, aviation, and defense sectors. Weaponization Risk – These tools could be catastrophic in the wrong hands. Psychological Shock – It would rewrite everything we know about science and our place in the cosmos.
Despite growing testimony and a trove of leaked documents, officials continue to dismiss these claims. The Deep State line remains unchanged: “No empirical evidence exists for reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology.” But the evidence says otherwise.
Supporting evidence: 1. Exotic materials reportedly recovered in 1950s, held by Lockheed. 2. The 1953 Robertson Panel even set the tone for decades of deliberate obfuscation, publicly debunking UFOs while secretly studying their implications. The CIA used Project Blue Book to publicly debunk UFOs. 3. As early as 1966, the U.S. Air Force reportedly managed over 30 classified anti-gravity projects. 4. A 1971 Australian Defense report referenced America’s "Advanced Saucer Aircraft" and a Cold War “UFO crash program” into anti-gravity propulsion. 5. The US government, through its CIA's Office of Global Access (OGA), is reported to have a secret program to retrieve and reverse-engineer crashed UFOs. This program, which began in 2003, is said to have recovered at least nine non-human aircraft, some of which were intact. The OGA works with special operations forces like SEAL teams to conduct these retrievals, keeping the operations highly secret. 6. CIA allegedly blocked a 2024 transfer of exotic materials from Lockheed to Bigelow Aerospace.
Ben Rich, former head of Lockheed Skunk Works, reportedly stated: “We now have the technology to take ET home.”
Don Phillips, also from Lockheed, confirmed reverse-engineering efforts related to recovered UFO craft, allegedly including materials from the infamous 1947 Roswell incident.
Dr. Salvatore Pais, a Navy scientist, filed patents (2016–2019) for highly unconventional devices, including a Space-Time Modification Weapon. These patents describe the use of electromagnetic fields, plasma, and rotational force fields. Theoretically, this device could create a spacetime modification weapon more powerful than hydrogen bombs. The Navy invested USD 508,000 testing the concept between 2016-2019.
But what could be the reason they are starting to reveal it now? The sudden shift toward public statements about advanced capabilities seems deliberate.
Consider the possible motives: 1. Strategic Signaling: A subtle warning to adversaries: “We possess technology beyond your reach.” 2.Controlled Disclosure: Shaping the narrative gradually to maintain public trust and institutional control. 3. Leaks Are Coming: Private-sector breakthroughs or whistleblowers may soon expose the truth. 4. Justifying Black Budgets: Revealing exotic tech lends credibility to decades of hidden spending under national security.
But perhaps the most compelling reason: a major event, whether real, staged, or cosmic in nature or eventually an alien contact scenario is on the horizon. This may be phase one of psychological preparation.
Finally; the evidence suggests that these exotic advanced technologies already exist, whether reverse-engineered or the result of disruptive physics breakthroughs. But what’s happening now isn’t full disclosure. It’s a carefully managed narrative operation, an information war cloaked in the language of advanced science.

Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater)
Why do we grow plants in space?
Plants are such versatile organisms that they can fulfill many roles in our exploration of space. Plants provide us with food, with oxygen, they can recycle water and waste, and they can even provide us with psychological benefits. So all these functions will help NASA in fulfilling our goal of trying to create a sustainable environment for human presence in space.
But there are also other benefits. We can investigate how plants adapt to the novel environment of space, something that’s completely outside their evolutionary history. We can develop new processes and technologies to cultivate plants in difficult and even extreme environments. All these lessons learned will help us in ultimately improving the lives of humans here on Earth by being able to better cultivate plants.
So why do we grow plants in space? To be able to create a sustainable environment for us to thrive in space, as well as improve lives and agricultural techniques here on Earth.

Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the Sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the Moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar surface, the idea goes, it triggers a chemical reaction that could make water molecules.
Now, in the most realistic lab simulation of this process yet, NASA-led researchers have confirmed this prediction.
The finding, researchers wrote in a March 17 paper in JGR Planets, has implications for NASA’s Artemis astronaut operations at the Moon’s South Pole. A critical resource for exploration, much of the water on the Moon is thought to be frozen in permanently shadowed regions at the poles.
“The exciting thing here is that with only lunar soil and a basic ingredient from the Sun, which is always spitting out hydrogen, there’s a possibility of creating water,” Li Hsia Yeo, a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “That’s incredible to think about,” said Yeo, who led the study.
Solar wind flows constantly from the Sun. It’s made largely of protons, which are nuclei of hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons. Traveling at more than one million miles per hour, the solar wind bathes the entire solar system. We see evidence of it on Earth when it lights up our sky in auroral light shows.
Computer-processed data of the solar wind from NASA’s STEREO spacecraft. Download here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/20278/ NASA/SwRI/Craig DeForest Most of the solar particles don’t reach the surface of Earth because our planet has a magnetic shield and an atmosphere to deflect them. But the Moon has no such protection. As computer models and lab experiments have shown, when protons smash into the Moon’s surface, which is made of a dusty and rocky material called regolith, they collide with electrons and recombine to form hydrogen atoms.
Then, the hydrogen atoms can migrate through the lunar surface and bond with the abundant oxygen atoms already present in minerals like silica to form hydroxyl (OH) molecules, a component of water, and water (H2O) molecules themselves.
Scientists have found evidence of both hydroxyl and water molecules in the Moon’s upper surface, just a few millimeters deep. These molecules leave behind a kind of chemical fingerprint — a noticeable dip in a wavy line on a graph that shows how light interacts with the regolith. With the current tools available, though, it is difficult to tell the difference between hydroxyl and water, so scientists use the term “water” to refer to either one or a mix of both molecules.
Many researchers think the solar wind is the main reason the molecules are there, though other sources like micrometeorite impacts could also help by creating heat and triggering chemical reactions.
In 2016, scientists discovered that water is released from the Moon during meteor showers. When a speck of comet debris strikes the moon, it vaporizes on impact, creating a shock wave in the lunar soil. With a sufficiently large impactor, this shock wave can breach the soil’s dry upper layer and release water molecules from a hydrated layer below. NASA’s LADEE spacecraft detected these water molecules as they entered the tenuous lunar atmosphere. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab Spacecraft measurements had already hinted that the solar wind is the primary driver of water, or its components, at the lunar surface. One key clue, confirmed by Yeo’s team’s experiment: the Moon’s water-related spectral signal changes over the course of the day.
In some regions, it’s stronger in the cooler morning and fades as the surface heats up, likely because water and hydrogen molecules move around or escape to space. As the surface cools again at night, the signal peaks again. This daily cycle points to an active source — most likely the solar wind—replenishing tiny amounts of water on the Moon each day.
To test whether this is true, Yeo and her colleague, Jason McLain, a research scientist at NASA Goddard, built a custom apparatus to examine Apollo lunar samples. In a first, the apparatus held all experiment components inside: a solar particle beam device, an airless chamber that simulated the Moon’s environment, and a molecule detector. Their invention allowed the researchers to avoid ever taking the sample out of the chamber — as other experiments did — and exposing it to contamination from the water in the air.
“It took a long time and many iterations to design the apparatus components and get them all to fit inside,” said McLain, “but it was worth it, because once we eliminated all possible sources of contamination, we learned that this decades-old idea about the solar wind turns out to be true.”
Using dust from two different samples picked up on the Moon by NASA’s Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972, Yeo and her colleagues first baked the samples to remove any possible water they could have picked up between air-tight storage in NASA’s space-sample curation facility at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and Goddard’s lab. Then, they used a tiny particle accelerator to bombard the dust with mock solar wind for several days — the equivalent of 80,000 years on the Moon, based on the high dose of the particles used.
They used a detector called a spectrometer to measure how much light the dust molecules reflected, which showed how the samples’ chemical makeup changed over time.
In the end, the team saw a drop in the light signal that bounced to their detector precisely at the point in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum — near 3 microns — where water typically absorbs energy, leaving a telltale signature.
While they can’t conclusively say if their experiment made water molecules, the researchers reported in their study that the shape and width of the dip in the wavy line on their graph suggests that both hydroxyl and water were produced in the lunar samples.

Long before joining NASA’s Test and Evaluation Support Team contract in October 2024, Angel Saenz was already an engineer at heart.
A STEM education program at his high school helped unlock that passion, setting him on a path that would eventually lead to NASA’s White Sands Test Facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Angel Saenz poses in front of a composite overwrap pressure vessel outside of his office at White Sands Test Facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico. NASA/Anthony L. Quiterio The program – FIRST Robotics Competition – is run by global nonprofit, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). It was the brainchild of prolific inventor Dean Kamen, best known for creating the Segway.
In what the organization calls “the ultimate sport for the mind,” teams of students spend six weeks working under adult mentors—and strict rules—to design, program, and build industrial-sized robots before facing off in a themed tournament. Teams earn points for accomplishing various engineering feats, launching, grappling, and climbing their way through the obstacles of a game that’s less football and more American Ninja Warrior.
Competing during the 2013 and 2014 seasons with the White Sands-sponsored Deming Thundercats, Saenz said FIRST was a link between abstract mathematical ideas and real-world applications.
“Before joining FIRST, equations were just something I was told to solve for a grade, but now I was applying them and seeing how they were actually useful,” he said.
By turning education into an extracurricular activity as compelling as video games and as competitive as any varsity sport, FIRST completely reshaped Saenz’s approach to learning.
“There are lots of other things kids can choose to do outside of school, but engineering was always that thing for me,” he said. “I associate it with being a fun activity, I see it more as a hobby.”
That kind of energy—as any engineer knows—cannot be destroyed. Today Saenz channels it into his work, tackling challenges with White Sand’s Composite Pressure group where he tests and analyzes pressure vessel systems, enabling their safe use in space programs.
“Having that foundation really helps ground me,” he said. “When I see a problem, I can look back and say, ‘That’s like what happened in FIRST Robotics and here’s how we solved it.’”
Deming High School teacher and robotics mentor David Wertz recognized Saenz’s aptitude for engineering, even when Saenz could not yet see it in himself.
“He wasn’t aware that we were using the engineering process as we built our robot,” Wertz said, “but he was always looking for ways to iterate and improve our designs.”
Saenz credits those early hands-on experiences for giving him a head start.
“It taught me a lot of concepts that weren’t supposed to be learned until college,” he said.
Armed with that knowledge, Saenz graduated from New Mexico State University in 2019 with a dual degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Now 28 years old, Saenz is already an accomplished professional. He adds White Sands to an impressive resume that includes past experiences with Albuquerque-based global manufacturing company Jabil and Kirtland Airforce Base.
Though only five months into the job, Saenz’s future at White Sands was set into motion more than a decade ago when he took a field trip to the site with Wertz in 2013.
“The kind invitations to present at White Sands or to take a tour of the facility has inspired many of the students to pursue degrees in engineering and STEM,” Wertz said. “The partnership continues to allow students to see the opportunities that are available for them if they are willing to put in the work.”
In a full-circle moment, Saenz and Mr. Wertz recently found themselves together at White Sands once again for the 2024 Environmental, Innovation, Safety, and Health Day event. This time not as student and teacher, but as industry colleagues in a reunion that could not have been better engineered.
David Wertz and Angel Saenz attend White Sand’s Environmental, Innovation, Safety, and Health Day event on October 31, 2024. The 2025 FIRST Robotics World Competition will take place in Houston at the George R. Brown Convention Center from April 16 to April 19. NASA will host an exciting robotics exhibit at the event, showcasing the future of technology and spaceflight. As many as 60,000 energetic fans, students, and industry leaders are expected to attend.
