Fun to read about, but my thoughts based on the article: 1. Tactical Reconnaissance? We live in the 21st century...drones/RPAs are excellent platforms for tactical reconnaissance...we don't need a 600 foot wide aircraft for that role. This would be way too large for nearly every airport (civilian and military) in the world to manage, and much larger than it needs to be to have intercontinental ranges and bomber payloads, so too large even for a strategic bomber role. 2. Physics 101: Magnetic fields interact with electric fields...when they do, they can use available energy to do work (like speed up or slow down, if you are travelling through a magnetic field). Neither magnetic or electric fields interact with gravity or can be used to reduce gravity, as the article suggests. One line from the article: "...super-conductive plasma with the results being an armor of any type of gravity disruption. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field which is how the gravity on mass is disrupted or neutralized within a proximity of eighty-nine percent." This is how a fourth-grader with a wild imagination writes. It has no basis in physics or atomic theory. The purest BS. Sorry to be a downer.

No Problem Col lenertz, just thought it would be an interesting topic.

Looking at the story I doubt that it is real. The references that they use make me think that the person who wrote the story heard about some neat things science has done and made an article using things he heard without a full understanding. They reference using 3 rockets that use chemical propellant to help it float. Syncing the three rockets start/stop times sounds like it would be more effort then they would get out of it. Using Quantum Levitation also known as magnetic locking or Acoustic Levitation might work better for making it float. Examples can be found on Youtube. However I am not a rocket scientist so take it with a grain of salt. They also seem a bit confused about the countermeasures and the aircraft skin works. Col Joseph Lenertz has a few good points on the magnetic fields as well.
