What is Santilli's anti-matter telescope?

Over in Zooniverse Talk*, there's a ~3 weeks' old thread "I was wondering if the Santilli telescope can be used in the zooniverse or to classify antimatter stuff and antimatter galaxies?" (link). Yesterday, a quite new someone with the handle sferwnhafs6tggs posted a bit of material on this telescope, including this:

Quote:

R. M. Santilli, "Apparent detection of antimatter galaxies via a telescope with convex lenses," Clifford Analysis, Clifford Algebras and their Applications vol. 3, 2014, pages 1-26 (Cambridge, UK)

P. Bhujbal, J. V. Kadeisvili, A. Nas, S Randall, and T. R. Shelke Preliminary confirmation of the detection of antimatter galaxies via Santilli telescope with concave lenses, Clifford Analysis, Clifford Algebras and their Applications Vol. 3, pages 27-39, 2014 (Cambridge, UK)

S. Beghella-Bartoli, Prashant M. Bhujbal, Alex Nas, Confirmation of antimatter detection via Santilli telescope with concave lenses, American Journal of Modern Physics Vol. 4, pages 34-41 (2015)
The abstract for the last one is quite eye-popping:

"Following decades of mathematical, theoretical, and experimental research on antimatter, recent results have announced the apparent detection of antimatter galaxies, antimatter asteroids and antimatter cosmic rays via the use of a new telescope with concave lenses known as the Santilli telescope. This article presents results providing additional confirmations that Santilli has indeed achieved the first known detection of antimatter in the large scale structure of the universe, and identifies the main implications."

Such a ground-breaking discovery, you'd think it'd be published in ApJ, or even Nature, wouldn't you? Yet it's in "Clifford Analysis, Clifford Algebras and their Applications" - strange journal for something that's about astronomy and astronomical instruments - and "American Journal of Modern Physics". The latter seems to be a very odd journal, and the last paper cited does not come up when I search ADS.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

* The Zooniverse is home of a lot of citizen science-based projects, perhaps the best known being Galaxy Zoo; "Talk" is its umbrella forum
