What many people fail to see is that patents relate not just to existing subjects but also potential and fictional. Someone might patent an idea that
they had in the middle of the night or a revelation they had while they had their morning cup of coffee. It is important to note though that the idea
might not work or might not be executable at present time, never the less it is "patentable".
Yet others might have spent a decade doing R&D in secrecy and then decided to protect their invention by filing a patent application before going into
full production, thus ensuring competition does not steal their invention. That is just the business dynamics of the capitalistic society where
research drives profit or vice versa.
Either are valid but do not prove anything beside the fact that someone somewhere had an idea about something that they felt might be worth money in
the future. That's as far as I'm concerned the only reason a patent application is filed and a patent held, simply the rules of engagement in the
world we live in.
So when someone puts out thousands of (public) pages they collected from the patent offices around the world on some subject, it does not prove
anything in my humble opinion, except that they might be trying to make a few dollars on the whole UFO field from people who keep buying such
materials at first place because they want to believe and feel that having a patent means a definitive proof (of something?)
Now, if this gentleman took the time he spent collecting all the patents and actually selected just those that he thought might work, then built a UFO
or at least proved some of the concepts found in those patents by building them, that would've greatly increased his credibility.
I hate to pass a judgment like this but as it stands, this more looks like "I'll sell you the flyer for $5 that tells you where to buy a very cheap
42" LCD TV", rather than "Get your 42" LCD TV right here very cheap."
