ANOTHER LUDICROUS TEXT FILE FROM THE LIBRARY OF
|
|||
|
|
BULLSHIT COLLECTED BY THE {{ REPOMAN }}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The subject is Unidentified Flying Objects and possible U.S. government
|
|||
|
|
coverups of their existence. The data, presented succinctly by Robert Hast
|
|||
|
|
ings, comes from years of research and papers obtained under the Freedom of
|
|||
|
|
Information Act.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The conclusion is that something akin to the so-called Star Wars space
|
|||
|
|
defense plan already exists, only it's aliens who control the machinery.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hastings, an independent civilian researcher presented his "UFOs: The Hidden
|
|||
|
|
History" lecture to an overflow audience at Idaho State University recently.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In it, he portrayed an ongoing coverup by the Air Force, FBI and CIA which ha
|
|||
|
|
s come to light since over 600 previously classified documents were obtained by
|
|||
|
|
Bruce Maccabbee, an optical physicist working for the U.S. Navy, and W. Todd
|
|||
|
|
Zechel, a former National Security Agency employee.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The documents include interna l memos, reports from air traffic controllers
|
|||
|
|
and pilots and North American Air Defense directors' logs which Hastings says
|
|||
|
|
"document a pattern of overflights and interference by UFOs at military nuclear
|
|||
|
|
installations since the late 1940s."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The most provocative document is a memo from Guy Hottel, now deceased, to FBI
|
|||
|
|
Director J. Edgar Hoover in 1950 discussing the recovery of three flying
|
|||
|
|
saucers, "Each one occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet
|
|||
|
|
tall," recovere d in New Mexico.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other papers from the CIA discuss the need to get information on UFOs to
|
|||
|
|
determine national security implications and overflights and landings by
|
|||
|
|
saucers at Air Force bases, attempted intercepts by Air Force fighters and
|
|||
|
|
eyewitness accounts from security personnel.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hastings says incidents at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., in 1966-67 and
|
|||
|
|
1975, Loring AFB in Maine, Los Alamos Research Facility in New Mexico and other
|
|||
|
|
overflights, "expressed clear interest (by UFOs) in nuclear bomb storage
|
|||
|
|
hangars."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The latest document, dated August, 1980 describes, "a round disk-shaped craft
|
|||
|
|
sighted by security forces near Kirtland AFB, New Mexico."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The object apparently sat down next to a storage ar ea with 400 nuclear
|
|||
|
|
warheads. Hastings says he has eyewitness accounts of triggering mechanisms
|
|||
|
|
malfunctioning and fires of unknown origin taking place after overflights at
|
|||
|
|
other installations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"They may be selectively sending signals that they have the power to shut
|
|||
|
|
down a nuclear launch," Hastings said. "Whoever is flying these things has an
|
|||
|
|
interest in our nuclear weapons capabilities. I've had maintenance personnel
|
|||
|
|
who corroborated that when the missiles have been inspected ( following UFO
|
|||
|
|
over-flights) they were found to be non-operative."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hastings added that Zechel contacted Air Force Col. Robert B. Willingham
|
|||
|
|
who swore out a deposition that he had first-hand knowledge of a crash recovery
|
|||
|
|
operation on the Te xas-Mexico border in 1950, headed by Col. John Bowen.
|
|||
|
|
Bowen would neither confirm nor deny the incident, Hastings added.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"I have two other NSA sources, neither of them who know each other, who were
|
|||
|
|
told that alien bodies are stored at Bro oks Aeromedical Laboratories in San
|
|||
|
|
Antonio, Tex," he continued.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Why would these people swear out affidavits attesting to something so crazy?
|
|||
|
|
They haven't made any money off it and they appear to be publicity-shy."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hastings said reports indicate saucer remains are stored at the facility.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other reports range from a saucer that buzzed an Atlas Intercontinental
|
|||
|
|
Ballistic Missle which later malfunctioned in 1964 to then CIA executive
|
|||
|
|
assistant Victor Marchetti (who lat er wrote a book on the subject) stating for
|
|||
|
|
the record that he came across information that indicated saucers had crashed,
|
|||
|
|
been secretly recovered and involved, "very sensitive operations."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hastings says he's not out to "get the government. " He says he simply is
|
|||
|
|
presenting the facts, which have been routinely denied by the Air Force, CIA
|
|||
|
|
and NORAD for years. He says he has no answers and that he is not making very
|
|||
|
|
much money lecturing 40 times per year at $750 plus travel expenses per talk.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Critics and skeptics of the program are numerous, from intelligence and
|
|||
|
|
military personnel to scientists like Cornell University's Carl Sagan, who says
|
|||
|
|
that until he sees phyisical evidence of UFOs, he concludes that they do not
|
|||
|
|
exist.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Sagan has missed the boat," said Hastings. "He has not been prepared to
|
|||
|
|
review the type of data that has come forth. The most vocal critics are the
|
|||
|
|
persons who have never studied the data."
