First, let me tell you that I have this big fascination with UFOs, and
more specifically, how they fly.  Well, after doing a bit of research at
my university library, I think I miiight be onto something.  If anyone
knows anything that can be of help, all comments are appreciated.

OK now... the book that really gave me a big clue as to how they might work
is an old 1970 book entitled 'Diamagnetism and UFOs', by some professor
Burt.  In short he proposed a new theory to account for the behaviour of
electrons and protons with regards to diamagnetism.  He states that
protons have an attractive force on electrons, but, it also has a repulsive
force of something like (1/ distance^3), which pushes electrons away from
the nucleus before they crash into it.  I realize that this all has been
explained away to the satisfaction of many a physicist (and I am definitely
not a physicist, or even a graduate student), but he brought up a good point
in that we humans are still pretty ignorant of How It's All Put Together.
Going on, he says how such a small force could escape the attention of
modern tests, and that this proton-electron repulsive force could be
amplified in a way to provide the propulsion typically seen in UFO
spacecraft.  Basically, the mechanism would be a central spinning rim
set up to give off a huge positive magnetic field which would then act upon
the hull, which is made up of some heavy substances very negatively charged.
The positive field generated would then act to do several things, mainly
pushing the craft up, creating a vacuum around the hull by repulsing the
air molecules, fritzing nearby electronics, stuff like that.  Essentially,
we are using this field created by the proton repulsion to convert magnetic
energy into mechanical energy.  Plus, it'd be moving the molecules INSIDE
the craft as well, so you wouldn't get squished inside.  Now, let me tell
you about this thing I read in recently released book on Soviet UFO
phenomena (of which there seem to be an abundance).  A piece of an exploded
UFO hull was scraped up and analyzed, and was found to be an alloy of
67 % cesium, 10% lanthanum, and an unsaid amount of neodymium.
Extrapolating from that, I could say perhaps the alloy was 66 2/3 %
Cesium, 11 1/9 % Lanthanum, and 22 2/9 % Neodymium.  Now, this alloy seemed
to have 14 times the magnetic field on one side as it did on the other
side, which seems pretty unusual.  But it would make sense from the above
theory, as perhaps the alloy was designed to keep most of the magnetic
interactions on the surface of the hull rather than on the inside
(which could turn to be quite unhealthy, I'd imagine).  Now, from what
I gathered, this Cesium-Lanthanum-Neodymium alloy is hard to put together;
perhaps an opinion from someone learned in metallurgy would be helpful.

To sum up, given all of the above IFs, then PERHAPs we could slap together
something similar ourselves.  Just a thought!
