I haven't read or heard anything about this news as such.
(Not that I check for this kind of info regularly...)
I don't believe it - unless I know more about it.
But then, I believe NASA is hardly a resource for any kind of
information.
They lack credibility. I think we need confirmation from other
sources, that anything NASA says is correct or not?
[I guess I've been watching too many - NASA faked the Apollo Moon
 Landings documentaries, and the likes of 'The Secret NASA
 Transmissions..' material...]

Something that was invented - and then for it be freely available to
the
rest of us - I guess takes a great deal of investment, ie. funding -
alongside with further research and development to bring it to
fruition.

No doubt, there are many, many stories of amazing inventions and
breakthrough technologies - that you may hear about (over the years)
and very few of these ever surface again... What became of them....???
To get into some kind of news in the first place, I don't think they
would
have been hoaxes or frauds, that is my guess...

The article about the anti-matter drive is on the Web in a number of places
e.g.
http://www.technologynewsdaily.com/node/2488

While interesting theory - I think it is more of a diversion -
red herring than a real solution.
I do think NASA does waste a whole lot of money, and if 250 million dollars
was spent on developing and making available just one of the zero point
energy systems usuable in our society (it has past the theory stage and is
into the prototype development, if given the money/funding) - we would be
able to wean ourselves off oil dependence, and would be in a better position
to reassess a better option for travel to Mars (via zero point energy) -
saving our planet first.
Oil reserves and pipelines are supposedly the real cause for the recent
wars the US has been involved with - otherwise the middle east would be of
no real interest to anyone..

Well if Anti-matter is the technology required to provide the energy for
anti-gravity and basically all a flying saucer is a flying particle
accelerator and anti-matter can be utilised to make those horrific weapons
imaginable , weapons capable of destroying whole continents. Not only does
it explain why the Nazis would have been interested and of course may have
been building the craft (flying bombs) to deliver these weapons. it would
explain why flying saucers have been kept under wraps for 60+ years. It
might also explain why the US invaded Iraq. Because there may be secret
weapons available involving anti-matter that are hundreds and thousands of
times more powerful then nuclear weapons and what if these weapons are
actually quite easy to make such that anyone could get their hands on the
technology

It's only a theory but if that is the case, obviously it would explain quite
a few things. It could be the missing piece of the jigsaw.

The secret weapon to be wary of - are so called Tesla weapons, based
upon his technology. There is word that these are real and have been 
tested, although secretly...
And the technology which will greatly advance this world, would be the
technology he tried to introduce but failed to.. because of his business
dealings with it, and not the technology itself. He didn't have the
financial backing he needed to bring it online...
I do suggest reading anything you can about Tesla. Reading his
"My Inventions' is a good start, which I haven't finished with yet..
