Um, this sounds suspiciously like the magnetic levitation demo with the
frog, which of course has absolutely nothing to do with gravity.

I then visited the URL you posted:

and found that someone was trying to connect this, somehow, with a bizarre
case of unexplained electrical activity in a Canadian home, with the
implication that the government was testing mind-control technology on the
public. Quite a leap of logic. I don't remember for sure how the Canadian
case ended up, although for some reason I have it in the back of my mind
that it was a hoax perpetrated by a family member.
