• The Majestic Twelve

    PART 15

    3. The reason I know it flew silently is I was present on a
    number of occasions when it was landing or taking off (I was
    always taken inside and out of view of the runway at these
    times) and at no time did I hear anything that sounded like a
    conventional or any other kind of engine.

    4. I was working on their ______ several times when they
    just_______. However since I was there to work on them I
    really didn't think anything about it. Oh yes, they would
    ___________ again just as suddenly. Also there were a number
    of times that I was called out to work on ______ and could
    not find anything wrong with it.

    5. On of the men that I knew were "Pilots" was just slightly
    larger than me.

    6. Most of the test flights occurred in the daytime rather
    than at night.

    7. The radio frequency they used at that time was in the
    regular commercial VHF band and was a simplex frequency. At
    one time I had the Freq. written down but I have no idea now
    what it was. Anyway, i really think that someone with a
    scanner could pick them up if they were to park on the road
    to the east of the test site and use some kind of directional
    antenna.

    8. Before I send this letter I will try to get a USC&GS map
    of the area and will mark the location of Area 51 on it.

    9. There was a Radar Station at the north end of the test
    site near the town of Tonopah, Nevada. A fellow from my home
    town of _______,________ was an operator there. His name is
    __________ __________ . We were talking about the test site
    one day when he mentioned that he was always picking up UFO's
    over the test site but was told to ignore them. I remember
    him telling about one that he picked up on the edge of his
    RBI on the first revolution was directly overhead on the
    second pass and was just going off the scope on the third
    revolution of the antenna.

    10. For some reason I seem to remember that the Redlight is
    spelled Redlight i.e. all one word.

    11. I always had the impression that the flight test area
    was from Area 51 north because there is a natural valley that
    runs in that direction for 200 miles or so. Also the area
    to the south was more populated. Also I entered Area 51 from
    the north and there were a couple of times that i was
    questioned about whether I had 'noticed' anything on the way
    in.

    12. I was reminded constantly that no matter what I saw I
    could be in serious trouble if I ever talked about any of it.
    I can't stress how much how tight the security was, it was
    almost paranoid.

    13. I don't think this has anything to do with Redlight, but
    I remember when I was a kid back in the 40's, on two
    occasions I saw a story about UFO's included in the weekly
    Pathe' News. There was one story about a UFO that had
    crashed somewhere and another story about a UFO that was
    found in some farmers barn. Both of those stories were given
    the usual news treatment. The reason that I am mentioning
    this is that I recently read an article about the entire
    library of Pathe' movie film being given to an institution of
    some kind which would make it available to researchers. I am
    certain that if these film clips could be located they would
    be useful. Realizing that these stories appeared prior to
    Blue Book and at a time of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon,
    there is probably a better than even chance that they can be
    located by someone willing to spend the time viewing a few
    hundred hours of old news film.

    14. More on item #7, the air-to-ground frequencies were in
    the 200mc range. I believe there is a standard set of air-to
    -ground or government frequencies either just above or just
    below the 220mc ham band and their communications were on
    those frequencies.

    Well there you have it ______. I hope that I have shed some
    light on some dark areas. Should any other thoughts come to
    mind that I feel may be important I will try to catch you on
    the ____________. Hopefully if I can get things settled down
    to a dull roar I will be able to start checking in on a more
    permanent basis. Of course, should you have any questions or
    want further clarification please contact me.

    Recently we received a letter from Bill English which states
    in part:
    It's come to my attention that I've been the subject
    of much speculation on the Paranet out of Phoenix, and
    that several people have called my father at his

    out a message on the net telling everyone that I'm
    alive and well and that I request that they not
    bother my father anymore. I think he's about to
    blow a gasket.

    QUESTIONS ON AQUARIUS

    by Christian P. Lambright


    It has been said that there are three kinds of people, those
    who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder...what happened...? It seems that nothing more true could be
    said of the types of people involved in the arena of UFO interest.
    The recent controversy concerning the alleged project entitled "AQUARIUS"
    and the control group labeled "MJ-12" seems a prime example of the
    confusion that results from lack of communication between interested
    parties. Is there a project AQUARIUS which deals with UFOs? Who first discovered that such a project existed? If the documentation supporting
    the existence of an "MJ-12" group is valid, as some contend, then
    why does it appear full of discrepancies? These are questions that
    need to be addressed before any attempt can be made to judge the validity
    of the issues.

    PART 17

    As any good detective can tell, motivation is a helpful key
    in solv-ing any crime or mystery. Who would stand to gain by the situation
    at hand? Perhaps a little of this line of reasoning would help in
    solving the current mystery of AQUARIUS/MJ-12. The revelation of a
    UFO-related project by the name of AQUARIUS first appeared on the
    scene in what has commonly been referred to as the "NASA-telex"
    [AQUARIUS.DOC]. This is the allegedly genuine document which describes
    several pieces of photographic film relating to incidents at Kirtland
    AFB and the case of Paul Bennewitz. As most knowledgeable people are
    aware, this document relates quite a bit of interesting information
    pertaining to official interest in UFOs as well as mentioning the
    existence of project AQUARIUS and something called "MJ-12". However,
    several key areas in this document were deleted by either the original
    source or by the recipient. It is interesting to note that there is
    a retyped version of this document which has circulated with the deletions filled-in, but with no explanation as to who retyped it or how the
    previously deleted areas were uncovered.

    Reportedly Peter Gersten was shown this document in 1983 and
    so it would seem that it has been around for several years. But if
    Gersten was the original recipient he has not revealed where he obtained
    it or from whom. This document would appear to be closely tied to
    the events at Kirtland AFB in 1980 inasmuch as it mentions Bennewitz
    and the Air Force interest in UFO sightings over military bases. Could
    the release of this document be related to the release of the initial document(s) concerning the events at Kirtland? [KIRTLND1.DOC, KIRTLND2.DOC] William Moore has stated that he was first given the initial Kirtland
    documents in Washington DC in early 1982 by an unnamed source. And
    there have been several rumors circulated concerning heated arguments
    between Moore and Gersten over the means by which Gersten obtained
    these documents. Rumors aside, if Moore received his documents over
    one year after the incidents occurred then whoever gave him these
    copies must have had access to them either from AFOSI files in Washington
    or from the original sender at Kirtland. There are indications that
    William Moore received his copies from Richard Doty, the AFOSI Special
    Agent at Kirtland AFB. Other sources have also reported that Doty
    was involved in an effort to get information of this nature out to
    certain individuals for purposes unknown. And so it seems possible
    that Doty was responsible for the Kirtland documents and perhaps the "NASA-telex" being released as he would have been in a position to
    have access to such information. Regardless, it would fall to serious
    UFO researchers to attempt to verify if the documents conveyed valid information, or disinformation.

    As interest began to focus on AQUARIUS and "MJ-12" several
    different FOIA requests were filed with various government agencies
    to try to garn-ish information on these subjects, but as recently
    as 1986 most of the leading figures in Ufology were convinced that
    the document was a forgery and that Project AQUARIUS was nonexistent.

    In 1985 I had filed several different requests with government agencies requesting information on three projects: Sigma, Snowbird and Aquarius;
    as well as any information pertaining to MJ-12 or Majestic-12. I
    specifically did not mention any connection or interest dealing with
    UFOs in these requests. With the exception of the National Security
    Agency every response I received was a denial of any knowledge of
    any of these subjects or titles. While they stated that Sigma and
    Snowbird were "not projects of this agency" and that they had no knowledge
    of MJ-12, they estimated that search fees for all information on Project AQUARIUS would be $15,000! It would appear that this is a rather expansive project. After several subsequent requests for clarification and to
    simply send the initial document which initiated the project the NSA
    stated that the project did not deal with "UFOs" and that as I would
    not be paying the fees they were concluding action on my requests.
    Subsequent appeals only clarified that Project AQUARIUS was classified
    Top Secret and that release of any portion of it could pose "grave
    danger to the national security." [AQUANSA.DOC]

    Several individuals have considered the statement by the NSA
    that AQUARIUS does not deal with UFOs to be patently honest, and perhaps
    this is the truth. However I believe that to have expected the NSA
    to "rollover" and openly reveal otherwise would be naive to say the
    least. It seems paradoxical that some "researchers" both expect these
    agencies to be deceptive but will readily accept some statements as
    totally accurate. I believe that there are sufficient reasons to suspect
    that the NSA project may actually be the project which is indicated
    in the "NASA-telex" which originally mentioned it and MJ-12.

    In the process of trying to verify the above document I had
    addressed a series of letters to what was designated the 7602 Air
    Intelligence Group (7602 AINTELG), as of 1983 known as the Air Force
    Special Activities Center. A Branch of the Air Force Intelligence
    Service, the 7602 AINTELG deals with human resource intelligence,
    much the same as the 4602 AINTELG which is known to have aided Edward
    Ruppelt in his investi-gations several years ago. This may or may
    not be coincidence and could be an interesting avenue for further
    research. Nevertheless, in the process of trying to get information
    on this group I had been receiving somewhat evasive response letters
    from AFIS. In a conversation with an Air Force source in which I had
    referred to my problems in obtaining information on this group I was
    informed that perhaps this is due to the fact that "they are a branch
    of the NSA!" This was at the time my first indication that there may
    be some NSA involvement, and was prior to my letters to NSA itself.
    Within a few months I was to learn another interesting fact pointing
    to the NSA.

    With the aid of well known researcher Thomas Adams I was notified
    of a person who reportedly had heard a very interesting statement
    concerning the initial AQUARIUS/MJ-12 document. After speaking with
    this gentleman personally I was firmly convinced that the information
    he was relating was accurate as it had been told to him. He related
    that he had been told personally that this document had been changed
    in two ways, and that he had been told this by the individual who had
    changed it. Although both changes were not revealed, he had been told
    that the reference in the document to "NASA" had originally been "NSA"!
    And who was the person doing the telling ...none other than William
    Moore. In a brief conversation with Moore after this in which I asked
    him if he had any knowledge of this he simply stated "No comment."

    PART 18

    The recent issue of JUST CAUSE also contains the statement by
    Larry Fawcett and Barry Greenwood that they have been told that this
    document is actually a retyped version. This fact was reportedly
    revealed in 1983 to Peter Gersten by an Air Force officer and was
    either forgotten or over-looked until just recently. However, the Air
    Force source who is cited is said to be none other than Richard Doty
    himself.

    In light of the fact that it has recently become common knowledge
    that Mr. Moore does (for his own reasons) delete documents which he
    obtains, and that he is rather aggressive in his research, I believe
    that Mr. Moore did in fact retype or have this document retyped. But
    does this negate the value of the document, or indicate that it is
    a hoax? Perhaps this explains why no one can verify if the document
    is genuine, because technically it is a forgery. It would appear that
    it is up to Mr. Moore to reveal a clean, accurate version and to finally
    reveal the facts behind its acquisition.

    According to film producer and director Linda Moulton Howe,
    she has had independent confirmation of MJ-12 and reportedly was shown
    a set of documents containing much of the same, if not identical,
    information. However, the actual name of the group in question was
    not "Majestic" but another similar sounding word containing the letters
    M and J. Could it be that the term "Majestic" was a substitution in
    a clever attempt to withhold a key bit of information which only someone
    with true inside information would be able to identify?

    If there is reason to question the accuracy of the information
    pre-sented in the original AQUARIUS/MJ-12 document as well as the
    information in the recent documents pertaining to MJ-12, does this
    logically imply that the 1980 Kirtland/Bennewitz events should be
    considered questionable? Any single-witness UFO sighting has always
    been somewhat questionable, this is exactly why we look for multiple
    witnesses and any other supporting evidence. If Richard Doty, or Paul
    Bennewitz were alone in reporting these incidents then the Kirtland
    events would never have become as major an issue as they have. However
    there were numerous individuals involved not only in the events
    precipitating preparation of the documents themselves. A brief summary
    of the incidents is as follows:-

    Early 1980, Paul Bennewitz becomes involved in observing and
    filming objects which he has sighted on the ground and in the
    air near Kirtland AFB and the Manzano range. Reportedly his
    wife was also present to witness some of the first landings
    he witnessed and filmed in the Coyote Canyon area. Subsequently
    he contacts Earnest Edwards of the Kirtland Security Police who,
    over the period of the next few months, becomes concerned and
    requests the guards on the Manzano Weapons Storage Area report
    to him any sightings of unusual aerial lights. At the beginning
    of August 1980 three guards report sighting an aerial light
    which descends on the Sandia Military Reservation. This is
    the first sighting described in the complaint form signed by
    Richard Doty. Edwards reports the sighting to Doty unaware that
    Doty has already heard from Russ Curtis (Sandia Security Chief)
    that a Sandia Security guard sighted a disc-shaped object near
    a structure just minutes after the sighting by the three Manzano
    guards. Doty includes these reports and several others in his
    Complaint Form and forwards the report to AFOSI Headquarters
    in Washington.


    From this point on many other persons became involved. Bennewitz was
    called down to a meeting at Kirtland AFB at which several major Air
    Force officers and Sandia personnel were present, including a Brigadier General. Earnest Edwards has confirmed that the three guards under
    his command reported what was described, and that the meeting took
    place. Bennewitz has confirmed that Doty and Jerry Miller came to
    his home to view his materials and there is a document signed by Thomas
    A. Cseh, Commander of the Base Investigative Detachment, to confirm
    this. Finally there is the complete set of documents which were released
    by AFOSI Headquarters under cover of the Department of the Air Force
    relating to the described events.

    There seem to be only two possibilities to consider. One: that
    this is one of the most profound deceptions that has been undertaken
    with the sanction of the USAF, involving a civilian, for purposes
    which can only be imagined. The other: that the events happened as
    described and that the intervening years, subsequent developments,
    and misguided researchers, have only clouded the facts. Perhaps there
    was also some effort made on an official level to defuse the sensitive
    nature of the events.

    Would Richard Doty have perpetrated a hoax, involved other
    officers in his deception, sent the hoax on to AFOSI Headquarters,
    and then spread certain information to civilian UFO researchers? For
    what purpose? And would he still be in the Air Force if he was discovered, knowing the public relations catastrophe that could result from AFOSI
    in Washington releasing the subsequent documents? It seems inconceivable
    that the Base Investigative Detachment, and the Department of the
    Air Force, would not have quickly and easily discovered the hoax and subsequently labeled the entire matter as such, knowing their previous predilection to do just that.

    A few simple telephone calls have served to clarify much of
    the truth of the initial incidents. We must avoid the temptation at
    times to "shoot first and ask questions later" which can result in
    spreading misinformation ourselves. It is advisable to use tact in
    approaching witnesses as we have no God-given right to call up strangers
    and demand that they answer questions, particularly when sensitive
    matters may be involved. Is it any surprise that some of these people
    may not want to be bothered by every person who plies them with questions?

    PART 19

    A very bizarre but intriguing letter was sent to APRO in either
    late 1980 or early 1981 and is commonly referred to by the name of
    the initial subject of the letter, a Mr. Craig Weitzel. This letter
    refers to a sequence of events which occurred in the mid-1980's at
    both Kirtland AFB and in an area near Pecos, NM and also makes several statements to the effect that there is a UFO-investigation detachment
    stationed at or near Kirtland. The writer also goes on to mention
    among other things that there is at least one "object" stored in the
    Manzano storage area. That the letter was at least legitimately received
    at APRO can be ascertained by the vehement letter which Jim Lorenzen
    mailed out rebuking the gentleman who released this letter without
    official permission from APRO. However, can we determine if this letter
    is a total hoax or is there even a grain of truth to be found in the information it conveys? In a conversation I had with Craig Weitzel
    he claimed to know nothing of the details related in the letter, and
    denied that he took any photographs. Strangely enough, however, he
    did state that he and the other did see an unusual silvery object
    hovering high in the sky which left the area, to use his words, "exponentially"! He had been training in mountain rescue operations
    and he and the others had spelled out S-O-S on the mountain side using parachutes and were waiting for the rescue helicopters to spot them.
    While looking for these helicopters they notices the silvery "UFO".
    If this is all that occurred what could be the reason to fabricate
    such a letter and yet give the name and address of a witness who was
    sure to refute the claims? Was it just a bizarre practical joke? The
    author of the anonymous letter claims that after Weitzel spoke with
    AFOSI agent Dody (sic) he did not want to have anything more to do
    with the matter and subsequently the Dody character denied that there
    had been any photographs. Was this a circumstance that could have
    been expected based on previous experience with Air Force handling
    of such matters? Many government and military witnesses often refuse
    to talk about their experiences to strangers either because of official pressure or simply for the sake of their own privacy. Motivation again
    must be considered in efforts to find the complete truth.

    In early October 1987 I had a strange conversation with an individual
    who is unknown to me except by first name and who initially knew
    absolutely nothing about my interest in UFOs. During a telephone
    conversation which took place totally by chance, the subject of nuclear
    weapons came up as this person indicated some knowledge of this
    weaponry, being at the time a member of the Air Force. I jokingly
    asked to know everything there was to know about Kirtland AFB, but
    not due to my interest in nuclear weapons per se but because of something
    else I thought may be stored at Manzano that "isn't nuclear weapons."
    After a momentary chuckle this individual said, "yes...UFOs!" As astounded
    as I was I asked for a little clarification, and after relating my
    interest, I was told that there are two "objects" stored in the Manzano
    area from what this person had heard during conversations by Air Force personnel in Germany. There had been some discussion about something
    which was related to a UFO incident widely reported in German newspapers
    in 1981 being similar to something which "they" had "over here."
    Because of the circumstances under which this conversation occurred
    and the fact that I had in no way even alluded to the subject I believe
    that this may offer some support to some of the statements made in
    the anonymous "Weitzel" letter.

    A final note of interest has come up in the newly released book
    on the "flying boomerang" objects reported in recent years in and
    around New York state [NIGHT SIEGE, Ballantine 1987]. In the process
    of investigating these incidents Hynek and Imbrogno were contacted
    by an individual who claimed to work for the NSA. They apparently
    verified this to their own satisfaction, and while this person professed
    that his interest was only personal, they were struck by the inordinate
    amount of interest this person showed in their investigations and
    any evidence they uncovered. There are even indications that their
    telephones may have been tapped. While it is unknown if this man's
    interest went further than personal curiosity, it is clear that the investigators felt there was something unusual about it. Nevertheless,
    here is yet another instance in which the National Security Agency
    seems to have crept into the picture.

    Do the facts as outlined here cast reasonable suspicion on the
    NSA and its part in official interest in unidentified flying objects?
    I believe that they do and that there is justifiable cause to suspect
    that the project AQUARIUS which relates (at least in some way) to
    UFOs is probably an NSA, or NSA related project. It also still seems
    that in spite of the arguments and confusion concerning documents,
    the designation "MJ-12" must be considered if not a certainty, than
    at least potentially valid. Those who have taken the time to contact
    witnesses and obtain their statements and help, have the best chance
    to make up their minds for themselves, regardless of the confusion
    concerning altered documents which seems to be precipitating furiously.
    We do not want to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water
    simply because the facts seem confusing. Perhaps even the confusion
    is being directed by someone somewhere. We should keep our sights
    fixed firmly on the major issues and the facts we can prove in our
    efforts to uncover the truth.

    END

    Thanks to all those sources both named and unnamed who have contributed
    to the facts outlined here.

    Memorandum for Mr. Ladd

    mr. ________ also discussed this matter with Colonel L. H. Forney
    of MID. Colonel Forney indicated that it was his attitude that inasmuch
    as it has been established that the flying disks are not the result
    of any Army or Navy experiments, the matter is of interest to the
    FBI. He stated that he was of the opinion that the Bureau, if at
    all possible, should accede to General Schulgen's request.

    SWR:AJB

    ADDENDUM

    I would recommend that we advise the Army that the Bureau does not
    believe it should go into these investigations, it being noted that
    a great bulk of those alleged discs reported found have been pranks.
    It is not believed that the Bureau would accomplish anything by going
    into these investigations.

    DML

    (Clyde Tolson)-I think we should do this. (Dated 7/15)

    (J. Edgar Hoover)-I would do it but before agreeing to it we must
    insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance in the SW
    case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory
    examination.

    DATE OF DOCUMENT 7/30/1947
    (B) FLYING DISCS-The Bureau, at the request o f the Army Air Force intelligence, has agreed to cooperate in the investigation of flying
    discs. The Air Forces have confidentially advised that it is possible
    to release three or more discs in odd numbers, attached together by
    a wire, from an airplane in high altitudes and that these discs would
    obtain tremendous speed in their descent and would descend to the earth
    in an arc. The Army Air Forces Intelligence has also indicated some
    concern that the reported sightings might have been made by subversive individuals for the purpose of creating a mass hysteria.

    (AUTHORIZATION TO INVESTIGATE)

    7-30-47
    BUREAU BULLETIN NO. 42 -2-
    Series 1947

    You should investigate each instance which is brought to your
    attention of a sighting of a flying disc in order to ascertain whether
    or not it is a bonifide sighting, an imaginary one or a prank. You
    should also bear in mind that individuals might report seeing flying
    discs for various reasons. It is conceivable that an individual might
    be desirous of seeking personal publicity, causing hysteria, or playing
    a prank.

    The Bureau should be notified immediately by teletype of all
    reported sightings and the results of your inquiries. In instances
    where the report appears to have merit, the teletype should be followed
    by a letter to the Bureau containing in detail the results of your
    inquiries. The Army Air Forces have assured the Bureau complete
    cooperating in these matters and in any instances where they fail
    to make information available to you or make the recovered discs available
    for your examination, it should promptly be brought to the attention
    of the Bureau.

    Any information you develop in connection with these discs should
    be promptly brought to the attention of the Army through your usual
    liason channels.

    Since leaving the navy I have worked at several companies engaged
    in work for the government or the intelligence community. Some of
    this work involved training foreign military personnel. I have also
    obtained a college degree in photography. This is a field I have
    long been interested in.

    I am not now connected with the government or the intelligence community
    except for friends that I have made over the years. Most recently
    I have been involved in management of civilian training facilities.

    Currently The institute where I am presently employed is known to
    3 of you and I do not wish it to be disclosed as the release of this information could have adverse affects upon my employment.


    (3) Approximatly 50% of this information comes from documents that
    I saw with my own eyes and I personnaly know it to be true and absolutely accurate. I saw and read GRUDG/ BLUE BOOK REPORT NO. 13. I saw and
    read the MAJESTY document which contained the Aquarius information.
    I was present at a briefing where much more information was discussed
    and some of it has become cloudy over the years but has come back to
    me when I saw information on that subject. About 50% of the information
    comes from my sources who will remain un-named. About 60% of the
    information is backed up by research and information available to
    you all however the information is not generaly shared. It is out
    there in various places and on various boards. Due to the potential
    monetary value of the information I believe that it probably never
    will be shared.


    (4) In 1972 I related this information to one other person for self
    protection and so that the information could be verified at some latter
    date should the government not handle the situation. I gave him the information on the eve of my wedding. The last person to person contact
    I had with him was in 1974. The last contact of ANY kind was in 1976
    or 1977 by phone. I have not seen him, written to him, phoned him,
    or had any contact with him at all since that time. I maintained
    this distance to prevent any accusation of collusion or hoax should
    it ever be neccessary to release the information. I also did it for
    his protection so that he would not be involved if the government
    should decide to harm me before the information could be released.
    I gave him a copy of the information in the form of a copy of an original document. I retained the other copy but mine was destroyed in a storage
    fire. He can and will verify the information to the right person
    with the right code (which we agreed upon) to release it. 3 of you
    have his name, the last place he lived in 1976, and the code. I will
    not contact him until the information is verified. He can validate
    my intelligence background and the information. He can state all
    of this truthfully and because of our seperation over the years will
    be able to pass any lie detector test to prove this is not a hoax.
    I would also be able to pass the same test or any other test, sodium
    pentathol etc.

    I have also received a call from a man named Christopher who called
    from an area code in Maryland. By his conversation with me on the
    phone I know that he has also seen the MAJESTY information and the
    AQUARIUS document. I also know that he is a member of Compuserve.
    That is all I know about him. I left out a graphic on the reconstructed document that I posted in my MAJIC file and he questioned the ommission.
    It is a minor detail that I did not think important but he spotted
    it. The only way he could have known that the graphic was missing
    would be that he has seen it himself. The graphic was 2 lightning
    bolts which strike at the bottom of the finned rocket which is enclosed
    in the circle. Since I could not put graphics in the document I only
    included a short description.

    I tested my father once by relating that I had seen information while
    in the navy that the Government had recovered UFO's which had crashed.
    I did this to guage his reaction because I knew that at one time when
    I was very little he was the radar Officer at White Sands Proving
    Ground. He gave me a very knowing look and advised me not to talk
    about it. I have never discussed the matter with him since.

    COME FORWARD NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION AT ALL WHICH WILL
    SUBSTANTIATE THIS INFORMATION. THIS MAY BE THE ONLY CHANCE TO EXPOSE
    THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION. IF I FAIL YOU ALL FAIL.

    PART 27

    I have just met with a man who has been able to substantiate
    certain sections of my MAJIC.TXT. You will all find the
    following text very interesting. In order to confirm his
    knowledge I performed several tests which will you will spot
    in the text. His revelations were not solicited, I merely
    asked him to read the MAJIC.TXT and call me if he wished to
    talk. I met him through friends. This is the text of two
    meetings which I had with him. The first occurred when we
    were introduced. The second occurred on Christmas Eve and
    was the most revealing.


    I attended a Christmas party given by a friend who I have
    known for many years. During the evening my friend took me
    aside and told me that a man was present that he thought I
    should meet. My friend told me that because of the
    information that I had recently released this man might be
    able to give me information. I asked why he thought so?
    My friend told me that the man had been in the Army for 21
    years and was assigned to DELTA SECURITY. I was immediately
    interested and asked to be introduced.

    My friend introduced me to a tall, lean, fit man who was in
    his late 60's. I was impressed with his physical fitness.
    His hair was grey and he stood with the bearing of one who
    had spent many years with the military. He was mentally
    sharp and showed no effects of his age.

    After we had been introduced I told him that I too had spent
    many years in military service, the Navy. I asked him where
    he had been stationed. He replied that he had spent a lot of
    time in Colorado, Mew Mexico, Nevada, and at Edwards Air
    Force Base. I commented that I thought it strange that an
    Army man would be stationed at Edwards. "Oh, he said, I was
    with Delta Security and we had a lot to do with intra-service
    projects." "We provided security for several services." I
    then asked him if he had ever heard of Project REDLIGHT. His
    eyes narrowed and he seemed uncomfortable. In fact he looked
    around the room as if looking for somewhere else to go. "I
    may have, he replied, but you know from your Navy days that I
    can't discuss what I was involved with." I told him that in
    a way I was involved with it also and then I told him that I
    was with Naval Intelligence for a time. We exchanged small
    talk but clearly he was uncomfortable since my mention of
    REDLIGHT. I excused myself then found my friend again. I
    asked my friend if he still had his copy of my MAJIC.TXT and
    if he did would he get it for me. He left the room and then
    came back and handed me the file.

    I waited until I saw that the Ex-Army man was leaving and
    then went out to his car with him. I asked him if he would
    look at something that I would draw. He said yes but really
    had to leave. On the back of the MAJIC.TXT file I drew the
    TRILATERAL insignia. I said nothing. He grabbed the file
    and asked me where I had seen the insignia. I told him I had
    seen it while with Naval Intelligence and asked him if he
    knew what it was. "Yes, he said, it is on a piece of
    equipment. Do you know what the equipment is?" I told him
    that it makes no sound. "You know then what REDLIGHT really
    is, he said." I replied that I did. I told him that the
    papers he held was a file explaining the whole thing and that
    I would like him to read it and then call me if he would be
    willing to talk to me about his experiences. I told him that
    I have never revealed sources and would never reveal him as
    the source of the information. He looked me right in the eye
    and said, "If you even tell anyone about this conversation I
    will call you a liar right to your face." I told him that I
    understood fully. I asked him how long he had known my
    friend. He said he had known him for about 7 years. I told
    him to ask our mutual friend about me so that he would feel
    more comfortable about me. He took the file and left.




    A few days later he called me and asked to meet me during the
    day at a local park on Christmas Eve. We arranged the time
    and met at a picnic table at the park.

    The first thing that he said was that he never wanted his
    name connected with anything that I ever did or said and that
    he never wanted to see me again after our meeting. I agreed
    to those terms. He then gave me his telephone number and
    asked me to call him if I ever thought that his identity had
    been compromised in any way. I agreed to that also.

    I then asked him why he had agreed to talk to me about his
    involvement. "For the same reason that you are talking about
    it, he replied, the whole thing is very grim and it won't get
    better." I asked him if he wanted me to ask questions or if
    he would just like to narrate. He told me to ask questions
    and when I pulled out my tape recorder he told me not to use
    it because voice identification was possible. I knew that
    this was possible and again consented to his terms. I asked
    if I could take notes and he agreed to notes only.

    Bill----Where did you see the TRILATERAL INSIGNIA that I drew
    for you at the party and that you saw in my file?

    Man-----On a flying saucer that I guarded at Edwards Air
    Force Base. I saw it again on different saucers when
    I was at Area 51 in Nevada....Your file is pretty
    accurate as to what I know....I was surprised by the
    extent of your knowledge.

    Bill----I saw some of the information and have other sources.
    That file is the product of 17 years of searching.
    In fact a lot of it came from doing what we are doing
    now, just talking to people. Can you tell me how you
    came to see the saucer at Edwards?

    Man-----I was assigned to guard a hanger at Edwards, at the
    time I didn't know what was in it.

    Bill----What was the name of the hanger?

    Man-----The hanger had no number or name. We called it the
    Delta hanger.

    Bill----Can you tell me where it is located?

    Man-----It is on the North Base. Its the only hanger off by
    itself and no one is allowed near it without a
    special badge and clearance.

    Bill----What does the badge look like?

    Man-----It is a red badge with a black triangle on the face
    of it and personal information on the back....like
    any other ID.

    PART 28

    Bill----How did you see the saucer?

    Man-----The hanger is only entered through one door. Inside
    the door is the guard room. On the other side of the
    guard room is a door that goes into an office. On
    the other side of the office is another door. We
    were not allowed out of the guard room but one night
    the duty officer asked me if I knew what I was
    guarding. I said no that it was not my job to know.
    He asked me if I would like to see. I thought he was
    checking me out and told him it wasn't necessary. He
    motioned for me to follow him and then took me
    through the office and into the hanger. I saw the
    saucer sitting on legs and it seemed to have jacks
    under it also.

    Bill----Can you describe it for me?

    Man-----It was about 30 feet in diameter, metal but not
    shiny. Like tarnished silver.

    Bill----How thick was it?

    Man-----About 15 to 18 feet thick.......It had the insignia
    on the underside and again on the top.

    Bill----Did you see any openings?

    Man-----No but I only saw one side and it was only for about
    3 or 4 minutes.

    Bill----Was it round?

    Man-----Oh yes...just like the movies.

    Bill----Were there any windows?

    Man-----There was what looked to be windows around the raised
    portion but I could not see inside.

    Bill----Were they round?

    Man-----No, they were rectangular....I also saw a groove
    around the saucer about 4 feet from the edge all the
    way around and it was on the top and bottom. There
    was an area on the bottom that looked like vents or
    louvres.

    Bill----What did the Officer say to you?

    Man-----Only that he did not show me anything and we went
    back to the guard room then he left.

    Bill----Isn't that unusual?

    Man-----Everything I did or saw on Delta was unusual. I saw
    people break down and cry for no reason at times.
    When things like that occurred you would never see
    that man again.

    Bill----What happened to them?

    Man-----I don't know and didn't ask.

    Bill----Lets deviate from this for awhile. Do you mind?

    Man-----No, I don't.

    Bill----How did you get into Delta security?

    Man-----I was recruited into the National Recon Organization
    and went to Fort Carson Colorado. After a lot of
    training I was screened for Delta and then assigned
    to Delta.

    Bill----Why did they recruit you?

    Man-----I was told that it was because I was an orphan. If
    something happens to someone connected to a secret
    project and they have family, the family could
    compromise the project in just trying to find out
    what happened to their loved one.

    Bill----Is everyone in Delta orphans?

    Man-----Just about, either that or their family died or was
    killed later in life.

    Bill----Didn't that bother you? I mean what could be so
    secret that they have to use orphans?

    Man-----Some of the things I've seen......The stories...
    especially concerning dreamland....Did you know there
    are bounty hunters connected with dreamland?

    Bill----What do you mean?

    Man-----If you work at Dreamland and go on leave or pass and
    are not back on time or if someone doesn't come back
    they send bounty hunters after you.......Thats where
    the visitors...you know what I mean... live....there
    is an underground facility.......I don't think I
    should say anymore.....Most of the time I was there I
    can't even remember anyway.....We were supposed to
    talk about Redlight.

    Bill----I don't remember agreeing to talk only about
    Redlight....Is this a new condition?

    Man-----Yes, I don't want to talk about anything else........
    I will tell you that very strange things happen at
    Dreamland.

    Bill----What do you mean when you say you can't remember?

    Man-----I can't remember....I really don't want to talk about
    Dreamland.....I won't talk about it.

    Bill----Please don't tantalize me. Either talk about it or
    don't but don't do this to me. What else can you say
    about Dreamland? Can you tell me where it is?

    Man-----No, I can't talk about it. This is all very
    dangerous and I am married now.....I just can't take
    a chance.

    PART 29

    Bill----Ok, tell me about Area 51.

    Man-----Area 51 is at Groom Lake in Nevada. Its the
    headquarters of Redlight.......The saucers are flown
    there. Its part of the test range...Its on the map..
    its just a dry lake bed with a Top Secret
    installation built on and around it.

    Bill----Have you seen one fly?

    Man-----Yes, they are incredibly fast and make no noise at
    all.

    Bill----Is the one at Area 51 the same as the one at Edwards?

    Man-----One was the same....the other one I saw looks like a
    diamond.......like in a womans engagement ring.....if
    you take the diamond out of a ring and turn it upside
    down......thats what it looks like.

    Bill----You mean literally like a diamond?

    Man-----No, but the shape is the same.....it really
    glows....but only when it flys. On the ground it is
    the same metal as the saucer at Edwards....when it
    flys it glows like the sun and sometimes changes
    colors.

    Bill----How close were you when you saw it?

    Man-----Not close...no one was allowed to get close....
    I think it emmitted radiation because we were all
    required to wear dosimeters and they had to be
    checked daily.

    Bill----You mean it was atomic powered?

    Man-----I don't know.....I only know there was a definate
    radiation hazard and our dosimeters were checked
    daily. We turned them in to be checked and were
    issued new ones every day.

    Bill----How long did you stay at Area 51?

    Man-----The first time was for 3 months....Nobody ever stayed
    more than a few months. The second time I was there
    was for almost 5 months.....its like wartime there
    were no passes while at Area 51....we had excellent
    recreation facilitys though.

    Bill----I hate to press you but I would like to know more
    about Dreamland. My information seems to conflict
    with yours. I have information that the Alien base
    is in New Mexico, is that where Dreamland is?

    Man-----There is more than one base and I have to go now....
    I should not be talking to you about anything at all.
    Its all too dangerous....even more than you
    think.....I don't know everything but I know that its
    way out of control and to tell you the truth I'm
    afraid of what is going to happen.....Don't ask me
    what because I don't know but........I know something
    is going to happen.......Giant underground shelters
    are being built under Groom Lake.....and in other
    places. From reading your papers you know more about
    a lot of this than I do.....I really do have to go
    now....Its Christmas Eve and I live a ways off.

    Bill----Before you go would you look over these notes and
    make sure they're right?

    Man-----I watched you write and its right. What are you
    going to do with those notes?

    Bill----I'll make a file and release this in the form of an
    interview without identifying you.

    Man-----If you do I'll call you a liar.

    Bill----I won't identify you and just so you will feel better
    I have never identified any of my sources. If you
    ever want to talk again you have my phone number.

    Man-----I don't think so....you had better be real careful...
    I mean about yourself....I really wouldn't give
    anyone else those notes....You should think about it.

    Bill----What do you think will happen?

    Man-----The same thing that has happened to ......some others
    .......you should just drop it.....you....nobody can
    do anything.


    The rest was just parting conversation. He seemed to be very
    sincere and very worried about what he was telling and
    worried about my safety as well as his own.

    This is the second person who has described a saucer at
    Edwards, the same security badge, and reference to Dreamland
    keeps coming up with these people. This is the first time I
    have heard that there is more than one alien base and it is
    the first time I have heard of bounty hunters. I think the
    reference to a radiation hazard and the use of dosemeters is
    also significant in view of the incident in Texas involving
    the two women. John Lear told me that Dreamland was at
    Edwards. Personally I do not know the location. Just the
    name "DREAMLAND" is so far away from the normal military
    trend of naming projects and places that it provokes
    questions. I would like to point out that at one point my
    sources told me the alien base was at Dreamland then they
    told me it wasn't true and backed away from it. The name
    keeps cropping up in connection with the alien base.
    Reference to loss of memory is also common with abductees. I
    found this interview to be personally disturbing.

    Where possible I wrote down the questions and answers and
    those are written exactly as asked and as answered. At some
    points the conversation is reconstructed from my notes but
    was done as soon as I arrived home and I am certain that it
    is accurate. Having just met this man I have no clue as to
    his motives or to the accuracy of the information. However I
    do believe he was sincere and the range of emotions he
    expressed would have been difficult for even a very good
    professional actor.

    (NOTE! A "dosemeter" is (or was when I was in service) a
    piece of film in a small badge that is worn by personnel when
    working in areas where they may be exposed to radiation.
    If the film is hit by a dose of radiation it is exposed. The
    amount of film exposure determines the exact dose of
    radiation. When I was in the Strategic Air Command I had to
    wear one because the alert pad aircraft carried nuclear
    weapons. Our dosemeters were checked weekly. If the
    dosemeter indicated that you had been exposed to radiation
    then you had to go through a decontamination procedure.
    During my time in service my dosemeter never indicated any
    exposure to radiation. This explanation is offered for those
    of you who may not have known what a dosemeter is.)
