OK, this might actually be some kind of big deal.
A few months ago, I wrote about going out to Los Angeles to spend an afternoon with Jesse Michels about the Townsend Brown bio.
This evening, Jesse announced the video on YouTube with this:
I spent six years researching this story between 2003 and 2009, and another dozen-plus years just thinking about it until the book was published last year. But Jesse Michels has been deep-diving into the larger, longer story of unexplained phenomena, unorthodox science and invisible frontiers for a quite a while. I am duly impressed (if not downright in awe) of how he explores the connections between my work and the countless layers of coverup and conspiracy theories that have hovered on the edge of human consciousness and popular culture for decades if not centuries and millennia.
The whole epic production runs almost two hours, but if you’ve got even the slightest interest in “WTF is going on out there?” then by all means, avail yourself to the entire thing:
Also, hats off to Jan Lunquist, who latched on to the Townsend Brown saga near the end of what we call “The Before Times,” the period from 2003-2009 before I set the book aside for more than a dozen years. Jan has kept the bit between her teeth, has doggedly stayed on top of the TTB story and reports on countless connections she has found between Brown and other off-the-books tales. She is featured quite prominently in Jesse’s video and fills a lot of the gaps in my own investigations.
Money shot (well, for my money): “Townsend Brown is Nikola Tesla meets the Dos Equis guy.”
With the release of this video – even more than the book – I think Townsend Brown is about to find a place in the discussion, and I am pleased that it’s about to become more of a ‘crowd’ effort than my solitary, two-decades pilgrimage.
In the unlikely event that you are seeing all this for the first time, you can find The Man Who Mastered Gravity on Amazon.com.
And I’ll leave you with this quote from Jesse near the end of the video:
“The smartest people are working on the dumbest problems.”
Ya think?
