Relativity would not permit anti-gravity, since in relativity,
gravity is the curvature of space. Quantum gravity probably
would, since a graviton could be expected to have an
anti-particle.
Still, anti-gravity isn't necessarily the way to go. A strong
gravity force from above an object in the local gravity field
would be able to generate the same effect as anti-gravity on that
object.
There is, at this point, a noticeable number of cases of "gravity
anomalies" in the presence of UFOs. As I recall, there is one
case where an object flew over a truck and the truck lifted and
was turned over; another where a witness was walking his horse,
and as the object passed over, the horse lifted into the air and
then dropped. A few other cases, such a a disk hovering above the
ocean with the water domed up beneath it, and some of the odd
holes left behind as ground traces may also be indicative.
One thing's for sure, though - ejection of the vast majority of
particles in some sort of advanced reaction drive is not an
option, since most of them generate incredible amounts of
radiation or heat when produced in volumes sufficient to lift
objects in the tens of tons range.
Not to mention that 20-100 gravity accelerations without some
sort of local gravity field would mean that UFO occupants would
have to scrape themselves off the deck with a spatula after a
typical UFO departure.
