Chan Thomas

Chauncey "Chan" Powers Thomas (February 15, 1920 - February 14, 1998) was an American electrical engineer and psychic who authored a hypothesis of global cataclysms involving radical shifts in Earth's electromagnetic fields that increase the viscosity of the crust, causing rapid continental drift. During the 1950s, Thomas was a project engineer on Bell Aircraft's RASCAL missile guidance system and Douglas Aircraft's A4D Skyhawk program, and was later employed in the late 1960s by McDonnell Douglas to work with Robert Wood's "Advanced Concepts" R&D team, which worked on UFO and other fringe science related projects.
