Document Library
Curated collection of primary source documents relevant to MH370, advanced physics, and government programs research. Each document is annotated with context and significance. External links point to official sources; we do not host copies.
Curated Primary Sources
This library collects the most important primary source documents relevant to the investigations covered on this site. Each entry includes the issuing body, date, and a brief annotation explaining the document's significance and how it fits into the broader research.
All links point to the original source or an authoritative archive; we link rather than host to maintain chain of custody and ensure readers access the most current versions. For the full searchable evidence collection (1,099 items extracted from Forbes' video analyses), see the Evidence Catalog.

Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device
US Patent 10,144,532. Describes a craft using electromagnetic field effects to reduce inertial mass. Filed by Dr. Salvatore Pais through the Naval Air Warfare Center. The Navy's CTO (Dr. James Sheehy) intervened via letter after initial USPTO rejection, declaring the technology "operable" and citing Chinese competition. Expired: maintenance fee not paid.
High Energy Electromagnetic Field Generator
US Patent 10,135,366. Generator producing electromagnetic energy-density fields of extraordinary intensity. Sheehy/Pais presented operability evidence in a USPTO phone interview (Jul 2018). Expired: maintenance fee not paid.

How to Use This Library
This library is designed to help researchers evaluate claims by going directly to primary sources.
Verify claims against primary sources: when you encounter a claim on this site or elsewhere, use these documents to check the underlying evidence directly.
Consider the source: official government reports carry different weight than independent analyses or patent filings. Our methodology page explains how we evaluate source reliability.
Cross-reference multiple sources: no single document tells the complete story. The value of primary sources is in comparing and contrasting multiple accounts.
Full evidence collection: this curated library covers key documents. For the full searchable collection of 1,099 evidence items extracted from Forbes' video analyses, visit the Evidence Catalog.
