Our incredible guest today is Nick Cook. In the 1990s, Cook was the aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, the UK based international defense journal. He was also an aerospace consultant and contributor to the journal from 2002 to 2008. He's won awards from the Royal Aeronautical Society in the Defense, Business, Technology, and Propulsion categories and is the last thing from a UFO nut. But in the early 90's he stumbled across an article about Antigravity that would change his life forever. This interview covers his decade long exploration into the most secretive compartments of aviation history -- the quest for antigravity. It takes him from Nazi Germany, to a forgotten American inventor named Thomas Townsend Brown until more contemporary gravity researchers today. Please enjoy this long form conversation with him!
