<EFBFBD> MYSTERY CRAFT HAUNT CALIFORNIA AIR BASES <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>By Hal McKenzie <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Sightings of strange craft have become commonplace in <20>
<EFBFBD>southern California's Antelope Valley, particularly near Air<69>
<EFBFBD>Force bases and supersecret aerospace research facilities <20>
<EFBFBD>called "skunk works," according to Bill Hamilton, an <20>
<EFBFBD>independent UFO investigator in Glendale. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> A dark, triangular, silent object has been sighted by <20>
<EFBFBD>independent witnesses from Lancaster all the way to <20>
<EFBFBD>Hesperia, Hamilton said in a phone interview. The object <20>
<EFBFBD>seemed to be moving along the northern boundary of the San <20>
<EFBFBD>Gabnel Mountains on an eastwest trajectory. The object has <20>
<EFBFBD>been seen "quite frequently within the last 10 months," <20>
<EFBFBD>Hamilton said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Hamilton cited a news report of a United Airlines 747 <20>
<EFBFBD>jumbo jet that nearly collided with a mysterious, wingless <20>
<EFBFBD>craft on August 5. Aviation Week & Space Technology, in its <20>
<EFBFBD>August 24 issue described the encounter this way: <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> "The pilot and copilot of United flight 934, with a heavy <20>
<EFBFBD>passenger load from Los Angeles to London, said they saw an <20>
<EFBFBD>unusual aircraft coming directly at them and pass under the <20>
<EFBFBD>747 by an estimated 500-1,000 feet. The incident occurred <20>
<EFBFBD>near George AFB at about 1:45 p.m. on August 5. The 747 was <20>
<EFBFBD>at 23,000 ft. departing from Los Angeles International <20>
<EFBFBD>Airport on a heading of about 40 deg. magnetic . . . <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> "The several-second sighting gave the crew the impression <20>
<EFBFBD>that the other aircraft was a lifting-body configuration, <20>
<EFBFBD>and they described it as looking like the forward fuselage <20>
<EFBFBD>of a Lockheed SR-71--without wings but with a tail of sorts.<2E>
<EFBFBD>They estimated the size as similar to an F-16. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>* Hints of Secrets <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> "Defense Dept. and Air Force officials said late last <20>
<EFBFBD>week that it was not one of their secret projects," the <20>
<EFBFBD>AvWeek article continued. " 'But we're not the only ones <20>
<EFBFBD>with strange projects,' he added, referring to the CIA and <20>
<EFBFBD>other organizations [our emphasis]." Was this an inadvertent<6E>
<EFBFBD>tip-off of secret tests of alien technology conducted by <20>
<EFBFBD>shadowy ultra-secret government agencies outside the regular<61>
<EFBFBD>military? <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Hamilton also said there were "one or two reports of big <20>
<EFBFBD>boomerangs being sighted in the Lancaster area" of a type <20>
<EFBFBD>seen frequently over upstate New York and Belgium, some of <20>
<EFBFBD>which witnesses estimated to be 2-3 football fields in span.<2E>
<EFBFBD>He said it was significant that the sightings took place in <20>
<EFBFBD>and around airspace controlled by the military, at Edwards <20>
<EFBFBD>AFB and George AFB, as well as an FAA facility for the Los <20>
<EFBFBD>Angeles area near Palmdale and other aerospace facilities. <20>
<EFBFBD>When asked about the boomerangs, authorities "just deny <20>
<EFBFBD>knowing anything about it," Hamilton said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Hamilton said that last summer, when there was heavy <20>
<EFBFBD>sighting activity in Antelope Valley, he called the Public <20>
<EFBFBD>Affairs officer at Edwards AFB. "He didn't dispute it, but <20>
<EFBFBD>said there was a lot of secret projects in the valley," <20>
<EFBFBD>Hamilton said. "He told me he wanted to take some fast film <20>
<EFBFBD>and see it himself." The FAA denied any radar contact, <20>
<EFBFBD>Hamilton said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>* Discs and Boomerangs <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Hamilton said that on several occasions in the last two <20>
<EFBFBD>years there were suspicious sightings near "skunk works," or<6F>
<EFBFBD>top-secret research and development facilities in the <20>
<EFBFBD>valley. He said that at a Northrop facility, witnesses saw a<>
<EFBFBD>"disc hovering directly over the facility in broad daylight,<2C>
<EFBFBD>streaking off toward the mountains. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> "Back in October 26, 1988, witnesses saw two large <20>
<EFBFBD>boomerangs escorted by about 17 discs in formation, at very <20>
<EFBFBD>slow speed, that flew over the Northrop facility, and was <20>
<EFBFBD>seen that night in Fresno. A friend who saw it pass directly<6C>
<EFBFBD>overhead estimated it was twice the width of his property, <20>
<EFBFBD>which was 330 feet wide," Hamilton said. <20>
