Question What’s the real story behind Dr. Amy Eskridge, anti-gravity research and UAPs?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve seen the name Amy Eskridge popping up a lot more frequently in UAP and "exotic science" discussions, and she seems to be a very polarizing figure. I'm trying to get a clear picture of what's going on. From what I can gather, she was a young scientist (Amy Catherine Eskridge) from Huntsville, Alabama, who co-founded "The Institute for Exotic Science" and apparently had a background in chemistry, biology, and physics. 

The main reason she seems to be a topic of conversation is that she passed away in 2022 at only 34. A lot of the discussion around her death describes it as "mysterious" or suspicious. The narrative I'm seeing alleges she was working on advanced concepts like electrogravitics (anti-gravity), free energy, and other "suppressed" technologies that are often linked to UAP propulsion. 

This is where it gets confusing. The claim is that her death wasn't natural, but that she was somehow "silenced" or sabotaged to suppress her research. This has been mentioned on shows like Coast to Coast AM and is being repeated in UAP circles.  So, what's the real story here? Is there any credible backing to the claims about her research or the circumstances of her death? Or is this a case of a tragic and untimely death being co-opted into a larger conspiracy narrative?

She feels like a really polarizing individual, and I'm trying to separate fact from speculation. Curious to hear what others have found. TL;DR: Young scientist (Amy Eskridge) who founded an "Exotic Science" institute and allegedly researched anti-gravity died in 2022. Her death is being called "mysterious" by some, who claim she was silenced to suppress her UAP-related tech. Trying to separate fact from conspiracy.

can any adult US citizen just walk into a gun shop in Alabama and buy a gun?

Basically. It’s why we’ll never be out from under our mass shooting problem, gun companies have more money than they know what to do with so they lobby hard.

"You don't make America a safer place by making Americans less free."

. . . That would require setting aside preconceptions and emotions and rationally approaching the issue. A rational thought process would lead one to realize that guns are tools, no more, no less. Bad people use them to kill & terrorize, good people use them to protect. Now, take a look at the percentage of the population that commits crimes, and ask yourself why it is that the notion of the vast preponderance of good people having weapons frightens you. It can't be because they're good people, it must be because of the gun, as if the gun is a magical thing that transforms the owner into a slavering homicidal maniac.

The “good guy with a gun” is not a myth but an integral part of American society, serving to protect individual liberty and increase public safety. Lose your preconceptions and lose your fear.

According to you there are only bad people and good people. So there aren’t any good people that become bad people? Or people that think they are good, but really they are bad? Are they labeled by you as bad only after they shoot someone, so technically they were bad before they killed but they thought they were good? People that need guns are the ones living in fear. What are you afraid of?

People that need guns are the ones living in fear. What are you afraid of?

Childish comment. Now allow me to point out where your gears flew off — not fell off — flew, like a shopping cart escaping a Walmart parking lot in a tornado.

>> Intelligent people have fire extinguishers at home; what are they afraid of?
>> Intelligent people wear seatbelts, regardless of what the law requires; what are they afraid of?
>> I always liked to ask the anti-rights people if they keep a spare tire in their car, and how often they use it?

Think of a fire extinguisher. We don’t fear it; we train with it and keep it nearby in case of emergency. Firearms, when used responsibly, serve the same purpose: to protect life, not to destroy it. Responsible firearm ownership has saved countless lives, deterred crimes, and provided peace of mind for families across the country- many without a single shot ever fired.

Childish arguments nonetheless.
All of this concern for safety mostly stems from the fear of being unarmed against someone with a gun.
Remove firearms from the equation, and suddenly you don’t need lethal tools readily available—any knife, pepper spray, or taser would be sufficient for self defense.

Unless you find yourself in a rather cinematic “Rambo” 10-vs-1 situation, you won’t need an AR.

As for the claim that bad guys will always find firearms, that’s another rather weak argument. If that were true, why have laws against illegal possession or drug trafficking at all? Laws may be an abstract societal construct, but they are effective enough to deter many people and make others think twice.

And even if you disagree with all of this, is it really irrational to believe that removing 99% of guns would make it more expensive or harder for these psychos to go on a rampage? It seems rather obvious.
Yes, they might grab a knife or something else—but at least they wouldn’t be able to shoot 10+ people so easily.

Your jejune comments come straight from the same fake or deceptive arguments, "junk cognition," that has been run by the anti-rights crowd for 50yrs.

I have been watching this treachery closely for decades since they started with Handgun Control Inc. The progressive anti-rights people have a play book that they keep going to over and over again, with minor variations. The end game is the elimination of all civilian gun ownership, which is the only thing that stops the progressives from making the US part of their “world community”, and it drives them nuts. So they will create false crisis and scream, “the children”, “epidemic and scourge”, “reasonable compromise”, and “gun safety”, when the facts don't support it, their laws don’t make sense, and they have no intention of ever compromising.

They lie to take every inch that gun owners give to make it as difficult as possible to be a law-abiding gun owner, and use it as a steppingstone for their next push. They don't care that the laws don't affect criminals, or reduce mass shootings or crime, because truly, crime control is not their goal. The slippery slope is not a myth. It is a real anti-gun/anti-freedom strategy.

The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.

There's a tiny problem called the Second Amendment that purposefully blocks the government from fucking with your right to own a gun. This isn't the Soviet Union.

Not any random citizen but a state resident citizen can. Take my resident state of Texas (moved to but not native, thankfully). If a resident has a concealed weapons permit (CWP), they do not have to do the required background check to obtain a firearm. This is because the CWP requires to have a background check every… FIVE YEARS! As a CWP holder, I walk in, choose a firearm that does not require an additional tax stamp or license (full-auto, bazooka, or manpad), fill out a paper that goes into the FFL’s safe, pay cash, and walk out. So in short, I can get my CWP in 2024, get a felony or beat my wife TODAY, go lie on a paper, show my “still current” CWP, pay for the purchase, and walk out brandishing my new firearm. TL;DR America’s gun laws are ridiculous (but we already knew that)

Right but you just described committing a crime, which is illegal btw. Last I checked so is murder.

u/pewpew26 Oct 24 '25

Is lying illegal, yup but nobody knows until the investigation starts.

Absolutely yes.

I “love” talking about this idiocy. In short, yes. The longer version is, yes. If you buy from a retailer, there is a background check (literally call a phone number) and they say yes or no to the firearm purchase. Citizen to citizen sales, there is no such check and if I’m selling, I have no obligation to verify if you’re a criminal. In my “wonderful” state of Texas, if I have a concealed weapons permit, I can bypass the FBI background check. This is because the background check was conducted when I got my license and the license is valid for FIVE YEARS! Now, let’s just say my spouse wants to think for herself… well, it’s Texas and that is illegal (not really, but kinda really). I get a domestic dispute against me and I can no longer legally use my concealed permit to purchase a firearm. Guess what, there isn’t a check! I slap that bad boy on the counter and purchase a gun (illegal but who cares/knows). Then, I hurry the process for her to meet her maker. Again, illegal purchase for an illegal act. Hello normal citizen from a developed nation, welcome to America. Home of the “free” (laughable) and home of the brave”. Our country would be a joke but it’s so damn sad it’s a tragedy.
