New technology from 'black world'

What ground-breaking new technology is kept so secret by the authorities that even to comment on its existence would be to reveal too much? 

Welcome to black world technology -- the discrepancy in the defense budgets no-one can explain, and the programs which politicians and officials have the right to deny even exist. 

Boeing, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer says it is working on anti-gravity propulsion, which could revolutionize conventional aviation. 

"GRASP," or Gravity Research for Advanced Space Propulsion, was only recently reported in Jane's Defence Weekly, but the U.S. military may have had the technology for years. 

The National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS), based in Nevada, say that mysterious U.S. military craft using this kind of technology have been skirting the skies since the 1980s. 

And NIDS is now calling for the military to unveil its secrets for commercial benefit. 

The U.S. has the largest black budget on the planet, but other countries -- notably Britain and France -- also have projects in this area. 

According to the U.S. Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) classified or black programs account for about $23.2 billion or 17 percent of the 2004 budget request for the Department of Defense. 

Just over half of this request to the U.S. Senate is for research and development, and it is on the increase.
