If there was one story that shocked me in the early years of looking into the British side to the UFO/Disclosure field it was that of inventor John Searl. However it was more the point that very few people knew about Searl and his seemingly unbelievable levitating energy devices and despite rumoured press and TV coverage, very little was to be found about him in the media archives.
It's kind of unfortunate that a film producer from the USA has had to take the mantle and provide us with John Searl's story - but after seeing Bradley Lockerman's DVD I'm so pleased he has.
Read on for the background to the film and a review. In additional we've included some video clips so you can decide for yourself if you want to obtain a copy and find out more on this one of a kind character. Members of British psychedelic outfit Eat Static have created a Searl inspired CD: InVerseGravity
An animation of John Searl's SEG or Searl Energy Generator.
In addition Searl used the fact the electro-magnetic power unit achieved a form of superconductivity to harness a free, limitless and non-polluting energy which under certain conditions created highly efficient lift and flight drive.
It was this system he installed into his Levity discs in the 1950s and 60s.
Hear more in the interview with the DVD's director.
Searl received no formal British education and had a rough start with his home life. Maybe due to these circumstances he found himself receiving visual images [interestingly I worked these back to have taken place or begun in that infamous year of 1947] on how to solve highly complex mathmatical and engineering problems.
Using this information John created a device [later termed the S.E.G.] which used magnetic rollers made of rare earth elementswhich, after much trial and error, he found would rotate a great speed on it's own. It seems that he had not only found an energy generator of a unique and powerful kind but after a rather funny accident at one of his landladies houses, he found the disc system "wanted to fly" - embedding itself in a kitchen ceiling.
The following article features comments from Searl and the film's producer.
“It’s marvelous… maybe people will realize that ALL of it is interesting information...” said John Searl.
“People are more impressed with lies… than the truth. I can’t (lie) because I’m speaking from the heart… about what I know… and what I do.”
Searl comments on the final film.
Throughout the making of The John Searl
Story there was one distinct, undeniable constant, Searl was telling his
truth.
I spent several years shooting, logging, collecting and then pouring over the
sixty plus hours of raw footage in the edit waiting to find a blink or flinch or
a stutter that would indicate he was concocting this portion or that portion of
his story. It never came.
We were lucky to get permission to enter Saint John’s Hall. This auditorium is
where the Sunday lectures were held in the 1960s. Attended by scientists, the
press and the public, crowds numbered up to four hundred persons at times, all
listening to Searl explain his “flying disc generator”, and his intention to
build a “manned craft”.
“The press came… to make mockery,” said Searl. At the end of the ten-hour
lecture reporters approached Searl amazed by his continuous delivery.
“They said, we have never seen a man stand there… and talk for ten hours
without looking at any papers or references” Searl continued, “And I said,
when you talk from the heart… you don’t need papers…”
The anticipation as we approached the locations where Searl had worked or
done his research was already high, but that anticipation increased dramatically
in Searl himself. Every location was found through Searl’s recognition of the
surroundings. “That’s it… stop here,” he said. Then, while walking (and
filming) through the field he commented, “I used to have to get permission, to
do ‘sort of’ shows (fly the disc!)… they never refused me.” Searl said.
"We used to do our take-offs and landings there (pointing to an open area
in the field); the audience would be here." He continued, “The people that
say it never happened… they're dreaming! Here’s the very field.”

While standing in one of the fields where John Searl flew his “levity disc”, I was struck by his demeanor. There were moments when he paused, as if he were reliving the events of the past. The look in his eyes was certain as he examined the geography around him. Occasionally he would glance at the sky, as if he were remembering a particular launch or flight path that he and his team had used.

The documentary states:
"The Demo 1 would prove that electrmagnetic flying discs were not only real, but that they represent the future in power and transportation."
In the segment of the documentary in which the above image is shown, Searl's voice is played back from that period, saying:
"We feel the time is right to go ahead and carry people." "One day you'll see a [name of] craft, a lone star in the sky; and within a year, you'll see massive giants coming up into the sky taking 2000 people from New York to London in twenty minutes, or fifteen minutes; from London to Sidney in thirty minutes; and we won't think nothing about it."
Then, showing his confidence in the goodness of humanity, he continues:
"And I think that this is business; this is really what industry wants: fast movement, cheap price, no noise, and no pollution; and the Levity Disc will give you this."
Later in the documentary he states:
"From 1963 until about 1978, ...Demo 1 flew 500 times around the world through the use of ham operators."
As he relived the end of the “Demo 1” effort, his pain from the memory was too much. He broke down in tears. This lasted for a considerable time. I thought I should cut the cameras and give him some privacy because his pain was real. But I chose instead to capture it all. Here was a man who chose his life work over his family. And the memory of that “ripping apart” was flowing out of him.
Searl was pleased with the structure of the dream 1 and dream 2 sequence in the film.
"It showed the dreams... that's always been difficult to explain" he said. "Now you can see it... from the hopscotch game, to the Law of the Squares, to the SEG".
He also liked the Crawley Road location sequence.
"This is where it happened" (the first model crashed through the roof and destroyed the house)... "It was an accident" he said, "and the house is gone!" The police put him in jail for a few nights after that. "They put me in a place where I won't blow holes through roofs and that again..."
Searl said he thinks the film will help people understand the difficulties he's had to overcome. "Some people are greedy... once they see it (the SEG) they want to own it" he said. "Greed and ignorance... it's a terrible combination."
On the general content and flow of the film.
"I hope everyone has a chance to see it... I'll be able to spend more time talking about the (present) development of the SEG" said Searl. "I don't mind talking about the past... just rather talk about how we're doing it again!"
Note also the points made in feedback from Sterling Allen:
"John's technology wasn't suppressed, it was stolen and developed by the black-ops shadow government elements that pull the strings of the control structure that presently runs things on this planet. The attempts to marginalize and discredit him were all a ruse to get John off their scent and the public as well."
And this by Terry Moore who is developing new prototypes of the SEG under Searl's direction:
"The additional point you make is very valid. It is almost certain that many
of the modern military aircraft have used this technology for years. For
example, if you look at the tiny Stealth fighter and consider its operating
range, there is no way it could carry enough fuel to sustain the distances it
is known to fly before refuelling. It is almost as certain that the military
in a number of countries have experimented with John's technology and already
fly disc shaped craft. It is a useful cover to blame these sightings on UFO's
from other galaxies."

Here's a translation of below comment posted in Latin American Spanish I think: --
It's unbelievable that in 1963 having achieved a way to make cheap energy, that since then demanded money to improve his invention without any model or sell into the world that this could prevent global warming. Just imagine that since the '70s, we were using clean energy, warming problem, it would. Sorry, but this discussion makes me think that or is something you really do not get (cheap and clean energy) and have been living 60 years in this story, or do not really care humanity and seeks an only model \ \ \ "flying saucer \ \ \" to sell a can governments. Sorry for this vision, I think I'll leave this world to see sin as self-destructed by individual selfishness. A greeting Jose

Parece mentira que habiendo conseguido en 1963 la forma de hacer energia economica, este desde entonces pidiendo dinero Para mejorar su invento sin dar ningun modelo o vender al mundo para que este pudiese Evitar el calentamiento global. Figurense que desde los años 70, estuviesemos Utilizando Energías Limpias, el problema del calentamiento, no lo tendriamos. Lo siento pero esta reflexión me hace pensar que o es algo que realmente no se consigue (Tener energia limpia y barata) y han estado viviendo 60 años de esta historia, o que no les importa realmente la humanidad y solo PERSIGUEN Llegar a un modelo de \ \ \ "platillo volante \ \ \" que vender un PUEDAN los Gobiernos. Apesadumbrado por esta visión, creo que me ire de este mundo deja ver el pecado como de autodestruirse por egoismos particulares. Un saludo José

The question to ask is to what extent Searl's techniques have been taken and sequestered by various governments or intelligence agencies.
Some claim that the newer 'stealth' like craft operated by the US as well as the B2 comber may have Searl tech to aid flight.

Dear sir,
Can you please put me in touch with John Searl or his manager? I have some news they may want.
I have emailed this sites's owner with my email and my home phone number to pass on.
Thanks, Mark Bennett, Loughborough

Is it true that Searl's UFOs (which I suppose were not strictly this) were the sole cause of the so called Warminster "flap"? If you type this into google you'll see what I mean.

Many thanks to you and to ALL our dear friends in the UK. I was often told that we cannot or should not make "The John Searl Story". Cryptic phone calls at odd hours from unknown persons, many private line conversations with Searl (when the subject was extremely technical on "how his device works") then a "click" and the line "opened" like talking in an empty warehouse. Historical groups that welcomed our research, assisting with full cooperation, then a few weeks later mysteriously dropping everything without explanation. Why is John Searl and his life work so sensitive? Why does the debate center on his past? The questions around Searl should focus on his device. A thorough investigation to the point of rebuilding his generator would cost next to nothing when compared to the amounts of capital spent on "new energy" R&D. What if Searl is right? What if his generator works? Surely it would be worth the effort and capital to put this question to rest.

Thanks for putting this article up. I had heard of John Searl but myself and most other people I'd mentioned him to either hadn't OR thought he was deluded as an inventor and never got anything working. Looks like this wasn't the case at all. I'd love to see the full film at some point.
Also can you add me to any mailing lists pls?
