Hal Puthoff is an American physicist whose long career has spanned Cold War-era classified remote-viewing research and later theoretical work on exotic energy and propulsion concepts, including contract work associated with the Pentagon’s AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program).

Assessment

Puthoff’s mainstream physics credentials are genuine, though his specific theoretical proposals regarding UAP propulsion mechanisms, developed alongside colleagues such as Eric Davis, remain speculative and are not accepted as established physics by the broader scientific community.
