US Intel Agency’s Docs Reveal Warp Drive, Invisibility Cloak, Stargate Projects

Was this an attempt to really see into the distant future of technology, or a blatant attempt at government money laundering?

The US Department of Defense has spent millions of dollars on research projects, including invisibility cloaks, high-energy laser weapons, "traversable wormholes" and "stargates," a batch of documents obtained through Freedom of information Act has revealed.

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) has obtained a list of nearly 40 research titles that were funded by Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) between 2007 and 2012.

While some names may sound more or less futuristic but still plausible — such as "High Energy Laser Weapons" or "Pulsed High-Power Microwave Technology" — others sound like they come directly from conspiracy theories and science fiction TV series. Some of the wildest entries include "Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum," "Traversable Wormholes, Stargates and Negative Energy" and even "Warp Drive, Dark Energy and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions."
