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.
