The thing that I’m stuck on: why wouldn’t E-Cat just link to the DTRA or dtic.mil website that released it? Even more sketchy: when I search on those two websites, I find NOTHING. They supposedly released it, so where is it?
I am really suspicious of these supposedly government documents that can only be found on non-government websites. This isn’t the first time that E-Cat has pulled that stunt. Can anybody tell me how DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) would get a project funded for LENR research? That’s like having the Department of Housing & Urban Development research blue whales and dolphins. That makes no sense.
It’s a good question about why the report is not on a DTRA or DoD website — I don’t know the answer. Maybe it will show up in time, or maybe they don’t want too much publicity about the subject.
The paper was uploaded on the LENR-CANR.org website which is basically an archive of papers and reports that deal with LENR/cold fusion and is well known among LENR researchers. I think it’s possible that after it was unclassified and designated free for public distribution, someone at DTRA sent the paper to Jed Rothwell who maintains the LENR-CANR site.
Regarding the DOD involvement, LENR/CF has been of interest in the defense community over the years. For example here’s a video discussing scientists in the US Naval research community’s involvement in cold fusion research —
