Bio
Bob Shelley
Hal is a genius. He can see possibilities where most people only see difficulties. Hal is open to alternate realities and solutions to impossible problems. He is a very stable influence on all of those he meets or works with. An all around good guy who doesn't give up in the face of adversity.
Dr. Eric W. Davis
Dr. Hal Puthoff is one of the foremost theorists in breakthrough propulsion & power physics for spaceflight applications, the study of the quantum vacuum and its relationship to general relativity theory & spacetime, applied (experimental) electron plasma physics, and applied (experimental) laser physics. Dr. Puthoff has a very long demonstrated record of professional accomplishment that includes numerous basic and applied physics articles published in the peer review journals, pioneering laser technology patents, electron plasma physics patents, laboratory program development and management, government grants and contracts, etc. He has been a successful small business owner and institute director since 1985 in addition to his 13 years at SRI Int'l where he founded, directed, and managed a variety of unclassified and classified defense research programs. During the 1960s, Dr. Puthoff served with honor and distinction as an officer in the U.S. Navy where he was assigned at the National Security Agency to develop advanced computer and fiber optical computing technology that were decades ahead of their time. He has exceptional business management, program management, program development, and personnel and interpersonal skills. Dr. Puthoff has very few peers of his caliber and is highly sought out for advice and consultation by U.S. government agencies, academia, and the aerospace industry.
