The second reliable witness to Townsend Brown's experiments is Agnew Bonson, air conditioning magnate and anti-gravity and physics patron out of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
[0:12:40 - 0:12:51] ▶
From a 1971 Australian intelligence memo often cited by UFO whistleblower David Grush, we basically now know that Bonson and his Institute of Field Physics at North Carolina, Chapel Hill, were just academic satellites of the CIA tasked with studying anti-gravity.

While serving as a patron for Townsend Brown's experimental gravity work, Bonson holds the 1957 Chapel Hill Conference, the goal of which was to bring together the world's top theoretical physicists to understand gravity.

As Eric Weinstein and others have noted, the Chapel Hill Conference ends up sending academic theoretical physics into a complete dead-end cul-de-sac by establishing quantum gravity, which leads to string theory,
[0:13:56 - 0:14:08] ▶
Maybe the physicists at Chapel Hill were engaging in self-sabotage with quantum gravity. Or maybe they were putting safety guardrails on academic physics.
[0:14:43 - 0:14:51] ▶
But perhaps the most fascinating clue to where the real vital off the books physics went is dropped by Eric Weinstein in a conversation he has with Joe Rogan about the Chapel Hill Conference.

In fact, I have the report from the 1957 Chapel Hill Conference. It's called The Role of Gravitation in Physics.
[0:15:16 - 0:15:23] ▶
And remember, Townsend Brown was working with Bonson while the Chapel Hill Conference was being held.
[0:16:22 - 0:16:28] ▶
One of these antigravity research centers, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was basically just Agnew Bonson and his Institute for Field Physics.
[0:47:37 - 0:47:46] ▶
It would also explain why you'd sponsor the 1957 Chapel Hill Conference.
