Publications

The following list of publications include a specialized section on Highly Classified Scientific Research, much of which was done in the early years during the time that the MDSAL Lab was being formed by the professor.  This research was elected due to the belief that it was a patriotic honor and duty to perform for national defense as a United States citizen and as a pledge to the Airforce while still a cadet. 

The Highly Classified Research section below represents only a minor portion of the research performed which was highly classified. But in addition to those that could be listed due to the fact that the research document possessed two titles (a classified title and an unclassified title shown), there are a larger number of classified research publications( approximately 60 more covering a record of hundreds of pages of research), which are not shown and which represent 60% of the total publications this type of research. A large number of these were published during the remaining 7 years while Professor Branner was 50% University and full time government scientific research.  The other approximately 40% is listed below.
 Note that all this research was delivered to the sponsoring government agency and archives. A number of these were formally reviewed by government officials. [1]
An understanding of highly classified information of this type is given in the footnote below (covering the recent “Trump case”), with reference to the document titled “AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION UNDER RULE 41 FOR A WARRANT TO SEARCH AND SEIZE”, pages 4-5. [2]
