RE: Could it have been Hanger-18?
|
||
|
|
Well fellow stargazers, here is one of my experiences.
|
||
|
|
It pertains to what is now known as the "Hangar-18 incident".
|
||
|
|
I was living in Miami, circa 1975, when I happened to read a short,
|
||
|
|
four paragraph article on the last page of Section A of the Miami Herald.
|
||
|
|
It was about a space craft of unknown origin that had crashed in the Mojave
|
||
|
|
Desert and was taken to an undisclosed Air Force base somewhere in New
|
||
|
|
Mexico. The article fascinated me, and I could kick myself in the *** for
|
||
|
|
not cutting it out for future reference. The reason I didn't was probably
|
||
|
|
because I passed it off as another hoax. Nevertheless, I scoured the paper
|
||
|
|
for the following month looking for a follow-up article, thinking that
|
||
|
|
there surely would be one. There was none to be found. Squashed like a
|
||
|
|
bug. Hmm, I thought. Was this a writers idea of a funny joke, or did
|
||
|
|
something potentially volatile just get squashed?
|
||
|
|
Anyway, about a year or two later, I found myself working part-time
|
||
|
|
at a Drive-In theater trying to put myself through college. I met a guy
|
||
|
|
there who was interesting enough to talk to, so we did. After getting to
|
||
|
|
know each other, he told me he was in the Air Force stationed at
|
||
|
|
Davis-Monthan <SP> AFB. He then told me about one night when he was on
|
||
|
|
guard duty and a strange craft was brought in to be transferred to
|
||
|
|
Wright-Patterson ASAP and with no questions or comments. He saw it with
|
||
|
|
his own two eyes, he claims. He was also screened to keep his mouth shut,
|
||
|
|
etc.
|
||
|
|
Along comes circa 1985 and the movie "Hangar-18". Now at first
|
||
|
|
when I read the article in 1975, I was skeptical. To conclude this story,
|
||
|
|
I am still skeptical at each individual account on its own. When you
|
||
|
|
consider three, separate, un-related accounts, that corroberate <SP> the
|
||
|
|
same incident, it tends to diminish the skepticism in my mind.
|
||
|
|
BTW, the guy at the Drive-In described what he saw as a weird
|
||
|
|
looking craft about 24 feet across with 2 passengers aboard who were about
|
||
|
|
3 feet in length. That is, of course, off the record...
