The article is about project Tesla headed by Robert K. Golka and Dr. Robert W. Bass. The project is about ball lightning. 69- .....Apr 20, 1976 | XXXXX | C.M. Kelley FBI Director | Summary> This letter states that Mr. Allen and MR. Ruchlehaus, former acting director of the FBI, contacted XX in 1973 regarding the unavialability of American microfilm records of Nikola Tesla's unpublished diary. Below quoted...from letter... At the time I discounted the possibility that these unpublished discoveries had military significance. But because of experiments now underway at Hill AFB, I now suspect such military applications exist and feel it imperative that you be notified, particularly in view of the fact that the Soviets have primary access to the ENTIRE collection Two photos of each page exist. After Tesla's death, scientist from the Navy and OSS performed a cursory examination of the diary and notes, which if my memory serves me correctly, was one month long, hardly enough time to decipher Tesla's torturous hadrwriting. Though in English. According to the museum director (1971), the Soviets had made copies of some portions, but not the Colorado Springs diary, which number 500 pages ,20 that directly pertain to ball lightning, and 20 or so relevant to the equipment construction. (we copied the most significant portions, but feel more exists. XXXXXXXX an article XXX magazine, EDN ( an electrical engineering magazine , but only with the very recent reciept of an unpublished manuscript from John J. O'Neill's book /Prodigal Genius/ did I place credence on Tesla's later calim to military applications. Incidentally, some of O'Neill's discriptions were inaccurate and exagerated, as we have exceeded Tesla's results and are familiar with the experiments. At any rate, there are three possible military applicatoins. 70- .....Cont.69- First, Tesla claimed that the lightning balls (which destroyed his equipment) could be used to destroy aircraft. XXX saw one inside his plane and most AF personal fear these / rf-balls/ as they call them. Second, it is a suspicion of mine that ball lightning, if injected with lithium, could produce a cheap fusion bomb. Third-- and this may be no more than a suspicion-- the propulsion mode of ball lightning involves electro-gravitic interaction by which means air vehicles of revolutionary configuration may be constructed. There are no presently-known laws of physics that can account for the propulsion (400 mph or so when following an airliner). Other hitherto unsuspected applications may exist. None of these applications were the goal of Project Tesla, which centered on producing ball lightning as Tesla did and studying it as a plasma confinement technique for fusion reactors. Incidentally, Tesla's claim to setting up standing waves on the earth's surface (wireless power) was erroneous and involved techniques similar to Project Sanguine, that is, using the earth's atmosphere as a wave guide XXX is aware of our research. Signed XXXX. P.S. I am notifying the CIA. 71-74.....Photo copies of Chapter 34 from John J. O'Neill's book. I do not know if these are the unpublished pages of same or if they are the same that appear in the published book. They mention /lightning balls or fire balls/ and Tesla's plan to build a defence system for Great Britain. 75- .....Jun 16, ???? | United States Senate | XXXXXX | Summary> A note...Please return all correspondence to the Attention of XXXXXX FBI. 76-77.....Jun ?, 1976 | XXXXX | XXXXX | Summary> This is a hand written letter to someone in the Senate Office Building, room 5241.
