Below is a time-stamped summary of the testimony of Dr. Eric W Davis to the House UAP Subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee. This occurred last Thursday, May 1st.
[0:01] Opening Question: Davis is asked about UAP propulsion, materials, and energy sources.
[0:20] Speculation on Propulsion: UAPs may use warp bubbles consistent with general relativity. He speculates they exhibit localized distortions of space-time, but not faster-than-light travel.
[0:58] Negative Energy Concept: Describes exotic energy requirements, such as negative energy density, citing phenomena like the Casimir effect and squeezed light.
[2:18] Quantum Vacuum & Gravity: Explains how gravity from Earth interacts with quantum vacuum fluctuations, possibly producing natural negative energy.
[2:57] Limits of Current Science: Stresses we lack a unified theory of quantum gravity. Current physics is too primitive to engineer warp fields.
[3:43] Need for Scientific Access: Davis says government programs might hold technology worth investigating and urges collaboration to advance physics.
[4:14] Craft in Possession: Affirms that the U.S. has craft in its possession, but physicists like himself have not been involved. The work has mostly been done by aerospace engineers.
[5:01] Stagnation of Legacy Programs: Describes crash retrieval programs as insular, highly classified, and resistant to bringing in new scientific perspectives.
[5:24] The Nimitz “Tic Tac” Case: Davis estimates the energy required for its maneuvers would be hundreds of times greater than all U.S. annual energy production.
[6:30] Craft Sizes: Mentions Tic Tac-sized craft as well as reported 600-foot-long craft (e.g., from a 1999 case near Sky Air Force Base).
[7:42] No Observable Power Systems: Refers to reports of craft with no detectable propulsion systems — possibly receiving energy via teleportation.
[8:13] Material Composition: Describes unusual combinations of elements and isotopes found in UAP materials — with no known Earth-based analogues.
[9:19] Non-Human Life Forms: Affirms multiple species have been described — “grays,” “Nordics,” and beings resembling reptiles or insects, though typically human-sized.
[9:59] General Appearance of Beings: The entities described (grays, Nordics, reptilian/insectoid types) are all generally human-sized, with heads, torsos, and four limbs — resembling humanoid forms rather than truly alien anatomies.
[10:12] Roswell Clarification: Davis clarifies that what’s often called the “Roswell crash” actually occurred in Corona, New Mexico. He refers to recovered beings from that incident as grays.
[10:24] Nordics and Other Species: States that Nordics are typically described as being about 5 to 6 feet tall, similar in size to humans. Other species also reportedly fall within that size range.
[10:37] No Reports of Giant Beings: He has not heard credible reports of beings that are 7, 8, or 9 feet tall. The descriptions generally remain within the human height range.
Dr. Eric Davis, PhD
Dr. Eric W. Davis, FBIS received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Arizona in 1991. His fields of specialization include spacecraft exploration of the outer solar system, planetary sciences, relativity theory and cosmology, space mission engineering, and NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics.
Eric is a research physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies-Austin and EarthTech International, and is also the CEO of Warp Drive Metrics (now in Austin, TX). He contracts with and consults to the Air Force Research Laboratory/Propulsion Directorate-Propellants Branch and the Department of Defense. During 1996–2002 he was with the National Institute for Discovery Science in Las Vegas, NV where he served as the staff Aerospace/Astro-Physics researcher. He also participated in and consulted to the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program, and cofounded the Advanced Deep Space Transport Technology Assessment (Breakthrough Propulsion Physics) Group at NASA-JSC.
He began his graduate work in 1984 as a mission support and research assistant with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite group at the Steward Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. In 1985, he joined the Voyager Ultraviolet Spectrometer Experiment group at the Lunar & Planetary Lab in Tucson where he conducted research on Jupiter’s magnetosphere, the Uranus and Neptune planetary encounters, and participated in the Voyager 1 & 2 space mission support. Following completion of his doctorate, he became an associate faculty and interim director for the Arizona Astronomy Education Center at Pima College in Tucson. In 1995 he joined the sciences-mathematics faculty at the University of Maryland Asian Division where he was stationed at the 8th Fighter Wing in Kunsan, South Korea. In that capacity he developed Air Force sponsored space mission engineering and Korean theater space reconnaissance training.
Eric has authored papers and given recognized presentations on quantum vacuum (zero point energy), traversable wormholes, warp drive and antimatter propulsion physics. He has also been recognized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for outstanding contributions to national defense and space public policy, and received recognition from the State of Arizona Economic Conversion Council for contributions to commercial conversion of small-medium space and defense businesses in Arizona.
He is a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics, a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, and member of the American Astronomical Society. He has served in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, as well as board director, for these and other chapters of professional engineering organizations.
