PART 1

The is only one of many files which I intend to upload that
substantiate the information contained in my MAJIC.TXT.
Bill Cooper

A series of PROJECT GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK reports have been
released over the years in connection with the USAF's
investigation into UFO's which was supposedly terminated with
the release of the Condon report in the late 1960's. Reports
1 through twelve of GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK were generally innocuous
and contained no classified or truly sensitive material.
There was a final report, #14 which was widely circulated and
about which an entire book was written: FLYING SAUCERS: AN
ANALYSIS OF THE AIR FORCE PROJECT BLUE BOOK SPECIAL REPORT
NO. 14 by Leon Davidson: the fifth edition was published in
1976 by Blue-Book Publishers; 64 Prospect St., White Plains,
New York 10606. Missing from public view, however, was
report #13.

Several years ago, Bill English, son of an Arizona state
legislator and former captain in the Green Berets had been
asigned to an RAF 'listening post' north of London as an
information analyst. English was, in the course of his
duties, asked to prepare an analysis of the elusive GRUDGE 13
report. On his discharge from his work at the 'listening
post' he returned to the United States and began to do a
little UFO research on his own. English had been no stranger
to the UFO phenominon. In Viet Nam he was a member of a
Special Forces investigative team that went in to retrieve a
B-52 that was forced down by a UFO and all the occupants
killed. Communications had been received from the B-52
before it went down to the effect that it was "...under
attack by a UFO..", A "...large light...". The plane was
found intact, sitting in the jungle. There was no swath
indicative of a crash landing. Only the bottom of the
fuselage showed any damage, there was no damage to the
underside of the engine pods. Although the plane was
completely intact the entire crew had been mutilated.

English, through contacts he still maintains has determined
that the US Government 'most definately' supports a 'project
dealing specifically with UFO's and captured aliens'.
According to what he has learned, the US government captured
a trio of aliens, and that as of mid 1981, one of the beings
was still alive in captivity. English also claims that "at
one point in the early 1950's until the mid 1960's the Air
Force maintained relocation and debriefing colonies for
people who had experienced close encounters of the 3rd and
4th kind. They were isolated for all intents and purposes
for the rest of their lives. He doubts that these colonies
are still in existence.

English dictated 2 audio casettes outlining what he
remembered from the Grudge 13 report. These audio casettes
were transcribed into hand written notes by another person.
The information contained therein indicated what had been
suspected all along: that the US government was involved in
the greatest deception in the history of mankind and that not
only did flying saucers exist but that the government had
several in secret storage and had captured at least 3 live
aliens.

The following is a summary of what Bill English remembers
from what he read during that day in June, 1977 of PROJECT
GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO 13.

*************************************************************

In Box, diplomatic pouch under lock and key system. Lock had
been opened, pouch was easily accessed. Standard diplomatic
couriers pouch marked American Embassy Couriers, contained
pouch serial number JL327Delta (JL327D?). Inside a
publication with red tape which indicated code red security
precautions and an Air Force disposition form. Disposition
form was standard white page copy, title was 'Analysis
Report'. Further down was "Analyse enclosed report under
code red measures. give abstract breakdown and report on
validity. Observe all code red measures. Analysis required
immediately'. Underneath were a series of dashes then the
letters NDF then another series of dashes. Below that, lower
left hand corner were the initials WGB.

Publication was withdrawn from pouch. It measured
approximately 8" by 11" with gray cover. Heavily bound,
paper back style similar to technical manuals. Across the
center front it read, "Grudge/Blue Book Report No. 13". It
was dated 1953-(1963). In the lower right hand corner was
AFSN 2246-3. In upper left hand corner was the word
'annotated'. Across the front upper right hand corner to
lower left hand corner was red tape indicating code red
security measures. Across the front was stamped in red ink
'Top Secret Need To Know Only Crypto Clearance 14 Required'
Inside front cover upper left hand corner were hand written
notations in ink which were blacked out by black felt pen.

Inside cover sheet was basically the same information as the
cover. Second page was title page. Next page after that was
an appendix with numerous notations made in it. Notations
dealt with inserts of what appeared to be photos and
additional notes. At bottom of third page it read G/BV Page
1 of 624 pages. Title page was subject letter. Complete
list of appendix not remembered. Title. Some notes on the
practical applications of the Worst Nemo equations.

report of the findings as written by LtCol. Friend and his
analysis.

Must stress at this point that the version seen was
annotated. There were inserts that were added to this copy
after it had been initially printed. Sections remembered
very vividly are the photographs and the reports concerning
captive sights of various UFO's to include Mexico, Sweden,
United States and Canada. There were also what was then
classified Close Encounters of the 3rd kind. It was made
very clear that these people whom it was determined had
genuine CE 3's were move in the middle of the night by Air
Force personnel and relocated to various sites in the midwest
and northwest parts of the United States. In many cases
these people experienced physical ailments from exposure to
various types of radiation.

One case especially noted and remembered very vividly was
entitled 'Darlington Farm Case' out of Ohio. Case apparently
took place in October 1953. Man, wife and 13 year old son
were sitting down at dinner table. As they sat there the
lights in the farm house began to dim. Dogs and animals
raised rucus on outside. 13 year old boy got up from dinner
table to see what was going on. Called his mother and father
to come look at the funny lights in the sky. Father and
mother got up and as they got up the son went outside into
the yard. Father and mother went out onto the porch. When
they got out on the porch one of the dogs broke loose from
leash beside house and came running around front. Boy began
chasing it out into the open field. As mother and father
watched the light came down from the sky. They described it
as a round ball of fire and it began to hover over field
where boy and dog had run to. As they stood and watched, the
mother and father heard the boy start screaming for help
whereupon the father grabbed his shotgun which was right next
to the door and began to run out into the field with the
mother following. When the father got to the field he saw
his son being carried away by what looked like little men,
into this huge fiery looking object. As it took off the
father fired several rounds at the object, to no avail. They
found dog, its head was crushed but no sign of boy or any
other footprints of the little men who apparently carried him
off. Father immediately called Darlington police and they
immediately came out to envestigate. The official report
read that the boy had run off and was lost in the forest
which bordered the farm. Within 48 hours the Air Force made
the determination that the family was to be relocated and the
mother and father were picked up by Air Force Intelligence
and all personal belongings and possessions were loaded into
U.S. Air Force trucks and moved to a notrhwestern relocation
site.

The mother was in shock and had to go through a great deal of
psychotherapy and deprogramming as did father. One
interesting aspect about this case was classification under
the Air Force report which read it was a genuine CE 3 and
that for the good of the national security the mother and
father had been relocated to relocation zone Z21-14. Not
sure whether this indicated map grid coordinates or latitude
longitude. According to the report there were at least 4
relocation sites across the United States. Depending upon
which type of encounter these people had, the report
indicated that there were extensive medical facilities
available at these relocation sites to deal with all medical
emergencies up to and including radiation poisoning. The
report mentioned a site located in the Utah-Nevada area, but
no indication of its purpose or what it was for.

PART 3

Report gave a clear indication of reports of human
mutilations, most notably was a case witnessed by Air Force
personnel in wich an Air Force Sgt. E-6 by the name of
Jonathon P. Lovette was observed being taken captive aboard
what appeared to be a UFO at the White Sands Missle Test
Range in New Mexico. This abduction took place in March of
1956 at about 0300 local and was witnessed by Major William
Cunningham of the United States Air Force Missile Test
Command near Holloman Air Force Base.

Major Cunningham and Sgt. Lovette were out in a field
downrange from the launch sites looking for debris from a
missile test when Sgt. Lovette went over the ridge of a small
sand dune and was out of sight for a time. Major Cunningham
heard Sgt. Lovette scream in what was described as terror or
agony. The Major, thinking the Sgt. had been bitten by a
snake or something ran over the crest of the dune and saw
Sgt. Lovette being dragged into what appeared to him and was
described as being a silvery disk like object which hovered
in the air approximately 15 to 20 feet. Major Cunningham
described what appeared to be a long snake-like object which
was wrapped around the sargeants legs and was dragging him to
the craft. Major Cunningham admittedly froze as the sargeant
was dragged inside the disc and observed the disc going up
into the sky very quickly. Major Cunningham got on the jeep
radio and reported the incident to Missile Control whereupon
Missile Control confirmed a radar sighting. Search parties
went out into the field looking for Sgt. Lovette. Major
Cunninghams report was taken and he was admitted to the White
Sands Base Dispensary for observation.

The search for Sgt. Lovette was continued for 3 days at the
end of which his nude body was found approximately 10 miles
downrange. The body had been mutilated; the tongue had been
removed from lower portion of the jaw. An incision had been
made just under the tip of the chin and extended all the way
back to the esophagus and larynx. He had been emasculated
and his eyes had been removed. Also, his anus had been
removed and there were comments in the report on the apparent
surgical skill of the removal of these items including the
genitalia. The report commented that the anus and genitalia
had been removed 'as though a plug' which in the case of the
anus extended all the way up to the colon. There was no sign
of blood within the system. The initial autopsy report
confirmed that the system had been completly drained of blood
and that there was no vascular collapse due to death by
bleeding. Subcomment was added that this was unusual because
anybody who dies or has complete loss of blood there is
vascular collapse. Also noted was that when the body was
found there were a number of dead predatory type birds within
the area who apparently had died after trying to partake of
the sargeants body. There were a number of extremely grisly
black and white photos. From all indications the body had
been exposed to the elements for at least a day or two. The
New Mexico sun in the desert is extremely hot and
dibilitating under normal circumstances.

In this section of the report it also indicated that there
were numerous occasions in which a UFO tracked alongside of a
fired missile and on one occasion said missile was observed
being taken aboard a UFO while in flight. The speeds
indicated were absolutely phenomenal. (English's father had
told him privately that on more than one occasion he had
personally tracked what they termed as 'foo fighters'.
English's father was an electronic engineer by profession and
was fairly well versed on electronics engineering and design
and on more than one occasion he was involved in telemetry
programming of missiles. English's father is currently a
state legislator in Arizona.)

The report also indicated that there were a number of
recovery teams that were activated specifically for the
purpose of recovering any and all evidence of UFO's and UFO
sightings. Most notably recorded in publication was what
they called Recovery Team Alpha. It was reported that Alpha
had been extremely active in a number of areas and on certain
occasions had travelled outside of the continental United
States. Alpha was based out of Wright Patterson Air Force
Base and was on the move constantly.

Further information in the report consisted of such things as
reported sightings and where air force planes had been
destroyed or had combat encounters or had been attacked by
UFO's. Also there were autopsy reports of various human
mutilations.

PART 5

As I walked in the small airport lobby after a 3 hour drive
from Richmond I immediately noticed 2 gentlemen who seemed
'out of place' for this locale. Both were wearing pin
striped 3 piece suits, both had on dark glasses. One was a
black gentleman. One was stationed inside the lobby door
looking out at the parking lot, one was leaning up against an
airline counter. I sat down and after a few minutes was
approached by a tall, bearded man in jeans and a heavy
jacket. He asked if I wanted to have a drink. We walked
outside and he introduced himself as Bill English. We drove
in Bills car into town to a local bar. About 5 minutes after
we ordered and had started to talk, the men I had seen at the
airport came into the bar and sat down. We left for Bill's
house and never saw the men again for the next 2 days.

During the next 2 days I stayed with Bill and his wife and 2
children in a small trailer in the middle of a field at his
farm. I asked him endless questions concerning the Grudge 13
document, how he happened to see it, what happened to him
after he saw it and literally thousands of questions about
the content of the document. My impression of Bill English
was that he was totally honest, that he stood behind his
statements and recollection of the Grudge 13 papers, that he
was a devoted husband and father to his wifes 2 children.
That Bill English was ready to come forward and enter into
any debate regarding the legitimacy of the document and his
recollections thereof. Of Bills compassion for his father
and his fathers feelings concerning Bill and the reasons for
their occasional disagreements. I have tremendous respect
for Bill and what he has tried to do in getting this
information out to the public. It has been at tremendous
personal risk not to mention the ridicule by sponsered agents
such as Bill Moore who has stated that the Grudge 13 papers
are a fraud. (How would Bill Moore know?)

What follows is additional information about the Grudge 13
papers that I obtained from Bill during my visit. In
addition to the following Bill painstakingly drew many
sketches of the photos of different types of flying saucers,
the equipment obtained from them including a sketch of the
football sized nuclear generator and sketches of the autopsy
photos.

From my notes taken during our 2 day meeting: Bill described
a photo taken of 3 live aliens. Very clear photo, aliens
standing against white tile wall, looking confused as if they
had been shoved, were looking in different directions.
Report said that aliens had contacted a U.S. Intelligence
Agency for initial 2 meetings, one at Holloman one at
Homestead.

U.S. Air Force relocation personnel (for persons involved in
close encounters) were referred to in report as 'men in
black'.

Major Cunningham was initially accused of murdering Sgt.
Jonathon P. Lovette. Charges were later dropped.

Bill English's place of employment in England was RAF
Security Services Command, RAF Chicksands.

Entire Grudge 13 report was written as if report was geared
toward preparation of defenses.

Report told of ultrasonic weapons found in Germany at the end
of WW II that could shatter 4" thick armour.

Report told of sensitive military and industrial areas at
which personnel experienced missing time.

Report told about missing time experienced with personnel
associated with North American x-15 rocket plane project.

Report stated that there were 17 different extraterrestrial
species accounted for up to the time of the report.

Extraterrestrials were referred to as A.L.F.'s, Alien Life
Forms in the report.

Report referred to one UFO that was recovered and test flown.
The UFO blew up as the 2 Air Force pilots aboard attempted to
leave the atmosphere. English recalls the date as the mid
50's.

Report refers to flying saucer program as Project 'Red Light'
and that a secret installation had been constructed in the
middle of the Atomic Energy Commission testing ground in
Nevada.

At the time of the report 11 alien cadavers were being kept
at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

That additional alien cadavers were being stored at 4 to 5
other medical institutions.

That 2 flying saucers of extraterrestrial origin had been
tested in the wind tunnel at Langley, Va.

That at the time of the report, 1 damaged disc was at Elgin
Air Force Base in Florida.

That at the time of the report there had been 2 UFO incidents
at Ft. Riley, Kansas.

That at the time of the report a detachment of the Alpha
recovery team was based at Randolph Air force Base.

The report discussed civilian and military personnel who had
been terminated 'to eliminate potentially dangerous elements
to the national security'.

That General James Doolittle had been mentioned several times
in the report with the notation that "His (Doolittle's)
predictions might be correct". There was no indication of
what those predictions might have been.

A short segment containing the quotation, "By presidential
order, certain aspects of research had been undertaken."

This report about Bill English and the Grudge 13 papers was
prepared by John Lear, 1414 Hollywood Blvd., Las Vegas,
Nevada 89110, telephone number (702) 438-8181, on October 7,
1988.

STATEMENT




I, William S. English, do hereby state and affirm that I
have met with Mr. John Olson Lear, on September 16-17, of
1988, and that we discussed my original report on my viewing
of the Grudge/Bluebook Report 13, in June of 1977.

I Further state that whatever opinions Mr. Lear form or
express on this matter are entirely his own, and that I stood
behind my statements made originally when I came forward with
this matter, and that I continue to stand behind my

I further state that anyone saying that they have an
admission from me personally that this was a hoax is a liar
and that if I was in fact perpetrating a hoax I could have
found a better way of doing it. Instead I have chosen to
allow time to either prove or disprove my claims on the

PART 8
ROBERT'S STORY



Robert _____ ______, a young man in his early 20's came to
work at my shop as a temporary help during the 2nd week of
October 1986. The first day at work, he approached me asking
about my interest in the UFO phenomenon. Then he smiled,
paused, and waited for my reaction. I told him that I was
interested, particularly in the crash/recovery of saucers and
bodies of occupants. That I was secondly interested in the
rumors pertaining to an "alien" and intelligence group
alliance set up years ago.

He then told me he would reveal something to me pertaining to
my second interest as mentioned above. He told me the
following (condensed by me):

1. He was in the military headquartered with the 4th
Engineering Group at Fort Carson, Colorado. Just got out 2
months prior to the date of telling me this.

2. He showed me a military I.D. card from Fort Carson and
another with a strange checker board design on it.

3. He said he had a Super Top Secret clearance and worked
as a laboratory assistant in southwestern Colorado associated
with the Delta Group out of Fort Carson.

4. He witnessed cryogenic experimentation going on with
human beings. This experimentation was conducted by both
"aliens" and some Super Secret intelligence group.

5. "Some high ranking military and scientific personnel were
taken down to cryogenic temperatures through a process of
draining their blood and pumping a chemical mixture into the
circulatory system to prevent cell destruction during the
freezing and thawing periods." "The "aliens" were the only
ones who knew the mixture formula and the gradual thawing
process. They at first refused to give the formula and
process to the scientific team, and threatened to leave the
above mentioned personnel in that cryogenic state forever
unless the scientists cooperated on some certain issues."

6. He also told me about some "alien" technics concerning
time travel, Dimensional travel, related to unified field
physics.

After revealing these seemingly fantastic things to me over a
3 week period of time he quit the temporary fob here. I
finally found out that his father Robert _________ Sr.
(Robert used to be Robert _________ Jr. before his father and
mother divorced and he took the name of his mothers second
husband, ______.) worked with me in the metal finishing
department. The following was told to me by Robert _________
Sr. on Dec 16, 1986:

"On the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 3, 1986, my son Robert
______ called me via the telephone (he hadn't been home for
over a week) he sounded as if he were scared to death. He
said I have to go back to Colorado immediately. I asked
why. He said, The bounty hunters found me and told me that
I had to go back with them to the base in Colorado because I
know to much. I asked if there were any way he could beat
them and get out of it? Robert stated, They said there is
no way out. In fact the chief bounty hunter confronted me
face to face.

Evidently Robert Jr. tried to beat the bounty hunters. His
alleged body was found in room #5 of the Walls Motel in Long
Beach, California, with a gun in his hand and a bullet hole
through his head. Drugs were found in the room, but not in
his body. (he was not the drug type).

The Long Beach Police Dept. investigated the case which ended
very abruptly with no explanation. When I asked them why the
case was closed so quickly, they snapped back, Its none of
your business. The final autopsy report stated that the
death was a drug related suicide.

I was not allowed to see the body for one solid week. I
would call the police, they would say the body was at the
funeral parlor. The funeral parlor would say we don't have
the body. This went on back and forth for that one solid
week. (Dec. 5th - Dec. 12th, 1986) When I was finally
allowed to view the body, I immediatly could tell it was not
him!! This body, alleged to be Robert ______, was about 20
Lbs heavier and about 3 to 4 inches shorter than my son.
That was not Robert even tho the basic facial feature's were
his.

One very significant thing that Robert stated to me before
his alleged death was, Dad, they are comming to take me
away. I will give you a code name ______________ (only
Robert and his father know that code name). If you receive a
letter, telephone call, or by messenger, sometime in the
future, this code name, you will know that I am alive. They
need me for my special DNA, that is why I have to go back.

Robert has special Occult Powers and has an interest in witch
craft. he says all of this UFO stuff is directly related to
witch craft and the occult.

In February - April 1987 both Robert _________ Sr. and myself
were under surveillance by what we considered an agent from
the cover-up group. He went by the name of John Chunn. We
finally confronted him face to face concerning all of this.
Needless to say he quit work that day and never came back.
Robert Sr. has been harassed several times by an individual
who wanted Robert Sr. to go to the 4 corners area with him .
On April 16, 1987, he said he would reunite him with his son.
_________ backed out the last minute.

Later Robert Sr. was picked up by the police for no reason at
all and held for one week. When he got back home he found
out that his place had been ransacked.

On Nov. 9, 1987, a person riding a motorcycle and dressed
like a biker approached _________ identifying himsself as Lt.
Reed or Reade and claimed that he had a Top Secret clearance
and had access to the files pertaining to the projects that
his son was still involved in. He said that he would place
_________ in touch with Robert ______ and said he was working
in an underground base. He said you cannot find this base on
any maps or in any military directories.

Robert ______ was in the following unit.

HHC 4th STU BU
ABN
FBG 31905
Fort Carson, Colorado

His Commanding Officer was Capt. Dana _. ______

Well ____ there it is for what it is worth. You can get in
touch with Robert Sr. at _________________________________




(NOTE! All names addresses and phone numbers are in the
original document and all of this information checks out with
the Long Beach Police Dept. and with Robert Sr. whom I have
talked to. The information was sent to a friend of mine in
exactly this form and he forwarded it to me in exactly the
form that I have typed it to disc. Bill Cooper)

WASHINGTON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
oceanographic and physical sciences

Dr. Robert I. Sarbacher
President and Chairman of Board

November 29, 1983



Mr.__________________
_____________________
_____________________

Dear Mr.____________:

I am sorry I have taken so long in answering your letters.
However, I have moved my office and have had to make a
number of extended trips.

To answer your last question in your letter of October 14,
1983, there is no particular reason I feel I shouldn't or
couldn't answer any or all of your questions. I am delight-
ed to answer all of them to the best of my ability.

You listed some of your questions in your letter of
September 12th. I will attemp to answer them as you had
listed them.

1. Relating to my own experience regarding re-
covered flying saucers, I had no association with any
of the people involved in the recovery and have no knowl-
edge regarding the dates of the recoveries. If I had I
would send it to you.

2. Regarding verification that persons you list were
involved, I can only say this:

John Von Neuman was definitely involved. Dr. Vannever Bush
was definitely involved, and I think Dr. Robert Oppenheimer
also.

My association with the Research and Development Board under
Doctor Compton during the Eisenhower administration was
rather limited so that although I had been invited to
participate in several discussions associated with the re-
ported recoveries, I could not personally attend the
meetings. I am sure that they would have asked Dr. Von
Braun, and the others that you listed were probably asked and
may or may not have attended. This is all I know for sure.

3. I did receive some official reports when I was in my
office at the Pentagon but all of these were left there as at
the time we were never supposed to take them out of the
office.

4. I do not recall receiving any photographs such as you
request so I am not in a position to answer.

5. I have to make the same reply as on No. 4.

I recall the interview with Dr. Brenner of the Canadian
Embassy. I think the answers I gave him were the ones you
listed. Naturally, I was more familiar with the subject
matter under discussion, at that time. actually, I would
have been able to give more specific answers had I attend-
ed the meetings concerning the subject. You must understand
that I took this assignment as a private contribution. We
were called "dollar-a-year men". My first responsibility was
the maintenance of my own business activity so that my
participation was limited.

About the only thing I remember at this time is that certain
materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes
were extremely light and very tough. I am sure our
laboratories analyzed them very carefully.

There were reports that instruments or people operating these
machines were also of very light weight, sufficient to
withstand the tremendous deceleration and acceleration
associated with their machinery. I remember in talking with
some of the people at the office that I got the impression
these "aliens" were constructed like certain insects we have
observed on earth, wherein because of the low mass the
inertial forces involved in operation of these instruments
would be quite low.

I still do not know why the high order of classification has
been given and why the denial of the existence of these
devices.

I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I suggest you
get in touch with the others who may be directly involved in
this program.

Sincerely yours,

(SIGNATURE)

Dr. Robert I. Sarbacher

P. S. It occurs to me that Dr. Bush's name is inccorrect
as you have it. Please check the spelling.

PART 11

It was the same color and texture of the large portion, so it
was safe to assume that it was part of the shell of the
craft. It weighed nowhere near enough to be any metal that
we had ever seen. It even weighed less than any plastic that
I had seen of a similar size.

I tried to scratch it with a pocket knife, and even cut away
a small piece of the edge, but the knife did nothing to it.
The surface was clear as glass, and stronger than anything we
had ever seen. It was like trying to scratch the surface of
glass with a feather. Of course, we had to turn it into the
security people.

After the site was secure, the first groups that included
myself were taken away. There was a very thorough strip
search prior to us being given jumpsuits, and put into a
truck for the transportation to a waiting plane. We were
taken to another area and debriefed before we were allowed to
return to our normal way of life.

About three months later, a few of us returned to the site to
remove the buildings, fill up the hole, and generally put
the area back into the same shape as it may have been prior
to the crash. We went through the same type of security
search and debriefing as we had done the first time.
Whatever was left of the craft had been removed and sent to -
unknown-.

Almost one year to the day, I was sent to another crash site.
Everything was a repeat of the first time, except that there
were six of us. Four of us were part of the first crash
site, and the other two were new. This time the air craft
was buried so deep into the lower side of a hill that we
could not get a good look at it.

The security arrangements were just about the same, and we
constructed similar buildings around it. It was very close
to a rerun of the first crash site. Only this time we were
told, "as a matter of fact it was a top secret experimental
air craft that had crashed". I could however, manage to see
the rear end of the craft. It appeared to be the same type
as the first. The code name of the project was Pluto, as it
was the first also. Incidently, that was in upstate New
York, in 1976. I do not know if there were any "people" or
life forms aboard.

Several years later, I had an occasion to be in the area of
site #one. The bartender only recognized me because he
brought in our first room service the first night we stayed
there. There was no room service there, but he made his one
and only exception to the rule for us. He asked me lots of
questions which of course had no answers for, nor would I
give any. He told me that he heard that there were lots of
medical people on the site. He thought that rather odd for
an electric power station. He assumed that there must have
been some kind of an accident, or lots of waste material in
the area. We let it go at that.

It appears that security was very good, and no one had any
idea that an air craft had crashed there. I suspect that the
air craft was fifty feet in diameter and as long as two
hundred feet. I could be wrong in the length. As I recall
the under portion of air craft #one had more of a flat
surface. It was difficult to see, but I do recall the
difference in the portion of the under surface that I could
see.

There were also a few interesting grooves on the top and side
areas about twenty feet long. We had speculated that either
a steering fin had been attached, or a place where it could
slide through from the inside, similar to the type of
system used to lower wheels on any air craft. First
speculation!

In 1978, I was again sent to a crash site. We arrived the
day after the security people. This time the air craft
landed in a lake in upstate Pennsylvannia. We went through
the same motions, and built several buildings on the edge of
the lake to house the craft, once it was removed from the
water. Lots of Navy equipment was flown in, and there were
divers everywhere. The same magnetic field was present as in
the first two incidents. There was no air craft.

I spent three weeks there in the event that the buildings had
to be adjusted. It seems that the divers had located the
exact spot that the air craft had rested on the bottom, but
it was gone. There was lots of evidence on the beach that
something very large had crashed into the lake causing the
water of the lake to splash ashore, over thirty feet, and
what was normally a rather clean lake, was suddenly a very
large mudhole. After three weeks, I left and was subjected
to the same type of security as the first two times.

I didn't have to return to dismantle the pre-fab buildings.
I would think that it was done by others very soon there
after. There was some thoughts at first that the craft may
have been buried under the bottom of the lake, but by this
time, we knew enough about the craft to know if that were the
case. It was not - it just vanished. Perhaps it was not
damaged and managed to fly away. That may sound silly, but I
believe that it is a reasonable conclusion. There was some
damage to the immediate area. Six large electrical
transformers, and some other equipment were burnt out and had
to be replaced by the electric company. The government took
the electrical equipment and had it flown somewhere else.

PART 14


April 20, 1980

______________
______________
______________

Dear ________,

I read your letter of the 13th with considerable interest.
It seems difficult to believe that I have finally found
someone that is as interested in finding out the true story
of Project Red Light.

First of all I would like to address the specific points
requested in your letter, and then I will expand on them and
other items as well.

1. I did not know about the UFO movie prior to reading your
article.

2. I found out the name of Project Redlight almost by
accident. I was ____________________________________________
in a warehouse at Area 51 and saw a large number of wooden
shipping crates (the type made with tongue and groove lumber
and used for shipping heavy items securely) with the code
name "Project Redlight" written with grease pen or felt tip
pen. Also on the crates was a stencilled "Edwards AFB" in
standard military type of letters.

3. The article in Readers Digest that I referred to was
about a UFO that flew over the US from the East Coast to
where it "blew up" somewhere over eastern Nevada. The
article did not state that the pilot was human. I'm sorry
for the confusion on this. The reason that I felt that this
Digest article is important is that I remember a period
shortly after the date given in the article (I don't
remember what it was, sorry) everything came to a screeching
halt at Area 51. As you can see, I am just putting two and
two together, but I am satisfied that the UFO of the Digest
article and the UFO of Project Redlight are/were one and the
same.

Now for some additional information that has come to mind
since I talked to you.

Your report about the motorcycle riders is interesting. I
can remember hearing similar rumors while I worked on the
test site and I would not doubt the authenticity of your
report. The security force at Area 51 while I serviced the
Area were heavily armed and I considered them dangerous.
There were several times that I was in the wrong place at the
right time and had it not been provable that I was not
snooping or trying to snoop I really don't think I would be
writing you this letter. Incidentally, the security wore
standard air police uniforms but looked nothing like any of
the AP's I have ever dealt with. They were all in their 30's
to 40's, and looked like dock workers. Also as I remember it
the only markings they wore just said Air Police. They did
not have Nellis AFB on anything but a few of their vehicles,
and I believe that they were assigned to Edwards rather than
Nellis. The reason I remember this is that it seemed strange
to me during my first trip to Area 51 I noticed a slight
difference in their uniforms from Nellis AP's, and I over-
heard a couple of remarks that indicated they were from
Edwards.

Another interesting point. I was accustomed to going out
onto the Bombing and Gunnery Range and had a number at Indian
springs (Nellis AFB maintains a forward area base there) to
call to get clearence onto the range. This was SOP.
However, in the case of Area 51 I called the security office
at Area 51. This indicated to me that Nellis AFB had nothing
to do with the operation of Area 51. Also the designation of
Area 51 was classified TOP SECRET.

Incidentally, although I carried a "Q" clearance from the
Atomic Energy Commission as well as an inter agency TOP
SECRET clearance I was investigated for a special Air Force
TOP SECRET clearance in order to operate in Area 51.

At this point I am going to give you just a series of
disconnected observations that I made in the hope that they
may tie in with something you or Len Stringfield may know.

1. I saw some crates being unloaded from a cargo plane. The
aircraft was a super constellation with standard markings and
had nothing to indicate it had any military connections.
There was no airline name on it.

2. I only saw the UFO one time. It was on the ground and
partly hidden behind a building and at first I thought it was
a small private aircraft until I noticed it had no wings or
tail. I was probably 1/2 mile or farther from it but I would
guess it 20 to 30 feet in diameter and sort of a pewter color
rather than bright polished aluminium.

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.

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.

PART 22

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES ------------------------------------------------------------------
23 September 1947
SUBJECT: AMC Opinion Concerning "Flying Discs"
TO: Commanding General
Army Air Forces
Washington 25, D.C.

ATTENTION: Brig. General George Schulgen
AC/AS-2

1. As requested by AC/AS-2 there is presented below the considered
opinion of this command concerning the so-called "Flying Discs."
This opinion is based on interrogation report data furnished by AC/AS-2
and preliminary studies by personnel of T-2 and Aircraft Laboratory, Engineering Division T-3. This opinion was arrived at in a conference
between personnel from the Air Institute of Technology, Intelligence
T-2, Office, Chief of Engineering Division, and the Aircraft, Power
Plant and Propeller Laboratories of Engineering Division T-3.

2. It is the opinion that:

a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or
fictitious.

b. There are objects probably approximately the shpe of a disc,
of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as man-made
aircraft.

c. There is the possibility that some of the incidents may be caused
by natural phenomena, such as meteors.

d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates
of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action
which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by
friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility
that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically
or remotely.

e. The apparent common description of the objects is as follows:

(1) Metallic or light reflecting surface.

(2) Absence of trail, except in a few instances when the object
apparently was operating under high performance conditions.

(3) Circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed
on top.

(4) Several reports of well kept formation flights varying from
three to nine objects.

(5) Normally no associated sound, except in three instances
a substantial rumbling roar was noted.

[6] Level flight speeds normally about 300 knots are estimated.

LETTER FROM GENERAL N.F. TWINING TO COMMANDING GENERAL,
ARMY AIR FORCES 23 SEPTEMBER 1947 ------------------------------------------------------------------

f. It is possible within the present U.S. knowledge - provided
extensive detailed development is undertaken--to construct
a piloted aicraft which has the general description of the
object in subparagraph (e) above which would be capable of
an approximate range of 700 miles at subsonic speeds.

g. Any devlopments in this country along the lines indicated would
be extremely expensive, time consuming and at the considerable
expense of current projects and therefore, if directed, should
be set up independently of existing projects.

h. Due consideration must be given the following:

(1) The possibility that these objects are of domestic
origin the product of some high security project not
known to AC/AS-2 or this command.

[2) The lack of physical evidence in the shape of crash
recovered exhibits which would undeniably prove the
existence of these objects.

(3) The possibility that some foreign nation has a form
of propulsion possibly nuclear, which is outside of
our domestic knowledge.

3. It is recommended that:

a. Headquarters, Army Air Forces issue a directive assigning a
priority, security classification and code name for a detailed
study of this matter to include the preparation of complete
sets of all available and pertinent data which will then be
made available to the Army , Navy, Atomic Energy Commission,
JRDB, the Air Force Scientific Advisory Group, NACA, and the
RAND and NEPA projects for comments and recommendations, with
a preliminary report to be forwarded within 15 days of receipt
of the data and a detailed report thereafter every 30 days
as the investigation develops. A complete interchange of data
should be effected.

4. Awaiting a specific directive AMC will continue the investigation
within its current resources in order to more closely define the
nature of the phenomenon. Detailed Essential Elements of Information
will be formulated immediately for transmittal thru channels.

N.F. TWINING
Lieutenant General, U.S.A.
Commanding.
