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 delighted 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
|
||
|
|
attempt to answer them as you had listed them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Relating to my own experience regarding recovered flying saucers, I had
|
||
|
|
no association with any of the people involved in the recovery and have no
|
||
|
|
knowledge 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 attended 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 t hat 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,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

Dr. Robert I. Sarbacher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P. S. It occurs to me that Dr. Bush's name is incorrect as you have it.
|
||
|
|
Please check the spelling.
