June 23, 1991 SEARLE2.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- This file courtesy of Anders Heerfordt. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, 22 June 1991, I visited the village of Mortimer, Berkshire, England where John Searl lived 10 years ago at the address 17 Stephen's Close. Searl described to me that he built many flying disks while living there, and made demonstrations to the local people. He also said that he was arrested in 1982 to stop his experiments, and his house was burnt down the next day to destroy his equipment. I visited the village to check the veracity of the information. I saw the house, the fairground, the high-tension pylons, and I talked to three people who all remembered him. One of his neighbours said he didn't think there had been a fire in the house. He did remember that Searl was arrested for trying to topple one of the high tension pylons visible from the house, and that (as far as he knew) he ended up in prison for it. He did remember that Searl sometimes put up posters that he would demonstrate his flying disks at the fairground. He would charge people a lot of money for seeing a flying disk, but nobody ever saw a disk levitate. Searl always claimed that the failure was due to the weather or some such circumstance. Many people wondered whether Searl was onto something, or whether he was making a fool of himself. Nobody found any proof that he was onto something. The neighbor didn't remember any problems between Searl and the electricity company before Searl tried to topple the pylon. Another inhabitant of the village remembered visiting the room in Searl's house that was filled with electrical equipment, and remembered that many people in the village wondered whether he was onto something, but none saw any proof that he was. This inhabitant also didn't remember any trouble between Searl and the electricity company before Searl tried to topple the pylon. A third inhabitant also remembered Searl, but didn't know of anyone who had seen any proof that he could make disks levitate or could do any other abnormal feat. Searl's family no longer lived in the village. It can be said with Page 1 some certainty that Searl never made any public demonstrations of a flying disk, and that he probably never succeeded in levitating a disk, and that he was lying when he said his house was burnt down. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard note... We should all be most appreciative of the time, energy and expense of Mr. Heerfordt in looking into the claims of John Searle. It is very odd that of all the experiments Searle claims to have carried out, there are no witnesses. Surely someone must be willing to come forth to recount what they had seen. One would think the villagers would have seen something supportive of Searle's claim. Mr. Heerfordt had personally interviewed Searle to gather information and establish claims with dates and traceable information. As the above file seems to indicate, there is not much if anything, which lends credence to Searle's claim of building either a levitating disc OR a free energy device based on the levitation technology operating in a governed fashion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
