But just last year, far more concrete details have emerged about Brown's life, thanks to Paul Shatzkin, the author of Brown's amazing new biography, The Man Who Mastered Gravity.
Paul Shatzkin documents an intimate exchange Townsend had on a sailboat with his soon-to-be wife, Josephine.
And according to author Paul LaViolette, Brown was even at the conference.
The fourth credible witness is Paul Alpert Byfield, the Ohio-based physicist who had studied alongside Einstein in the 20s.
And then Paul Byfield, they say he never met Paul Byfield.
And then this affidavit comes out later, Paul Byfield definitely met Towns and Brown.
And that document is signed by Paul Halford Byfield.
This trick he played was referred to as his wounded prairie chicken routine. As Paul writes,
I also introduced Nick Cook and Paul Shatzkin for an off-camera meeting just to ensure they weren't being thrown off by the same disinformation sources.
He even visited Paul Benowitz.
It was very easy to convince Paul. Paul was a World War II veteran. He's very patriotic.
John Warner IV, the grandson of CIA founding member Paul Mellon, also has a story he likes to tell.
