Harvard Crimson, J. A. Newmyer, "Academics Question The Science Behind BlackLight Power, Inc.", 17 May 2000, https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2000/5/17/academics-question-the-science-behind-blacklight/ (pages/crimson-2000.txt) [web]: - Mills is a Harvard Medical School graduate; investors had contributed over $25 million. - Mills "insists that independent laboratories from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to NASA have corroborated his work"; APS figures (Park, Howard Georgi of Harvard, Steven Chu) reject the claims ("It's just silliness", Georgi). - Board: Shelby Brewer (former NRC deputy director), retired Vice Admiral Michael P. Kalleres (US Navy), Aris Melissaratos (former director, Westinghouse Science and Technology Center). Mills says the Navy was running research trials; headquarters a 53,000 sq ft former Lockheed Martin hangar in New Jersey; 30 staff including 10 PhDs. Bearing: priority 4. The Navy-trials statement and the Westinghouse connection (Westinghouse is on the 1997 confirmation list, 2026-10-09-earthtech.md) are leads to records not yet found.
