"An Open Letter to the Citizens of Gulf Breeze"
|
|
|
|
Dear Gulf Breeze Citizenry:
|
|
For those who don't know me or my contributions to the
|
|
investigation of UFO related activity in Gulf Breeze, I am a UFO
|
|
Investigator/Reporter from the Annapolis, Maryland area. My
|
|
involvement in your local sightings case has been quite extensive
|
|
with well over 100 hours of research and telephone interviews
|
|
with investigators, witnesses, photographers, meteorologists, path-
|
|
ologists, technologists and the media. I've been reporting the events
|
|
on radio in Baltimore and have included "live" interviews with Ed,
|
|
Duane Cook and others. I have battled the skeptics and have
|
|
reported my findings to the UFO Intelligence Community. During
|
|
this period of time, I have had to investigate numerous sightings of
|
|
UFO activity in the Annapolis Bay Bridge area which has served to
|
|
limit my otherwise total involvement in the Gulf Breeze Sightings.
|
|
Please be assured that not all "distant experts" are scientifically
|
|
critical of the extraordinary events that have been occuring in your
|
|
peninsula city. Before getting too far into this letter, allow me to set
|
|
the record straight on one issue of significance to no one by myself.
|
|
Mr. R--- S------- is not a resident of Annapolis, Maryland. You
|
|
remember RS, the author of a report with a Strange Breeze blowing
|
|
through his head whose Psychic Premonitions lead him to believe
|
|
that The Sightings were all an elaborate hoax. Mr. RS resides and
|
|
receives his mail in College Park, Maryland, some 35 miles from the
|
|
quaint little peninsula capitol of the state of Maryland which so
|
|
happens to be the city where I call home. And so now you see the
|
|
reason for my interest in setting the record straight.
|
|
It should be noted that statistically speaking, there are now on
|
|
record over 50 sightings of UFO activity in the Gulf Breeze area that
|
|
have no connection to the noted photographer Ed. There are now
|
|
on record five photographers of UFO's only one of which has not
|
|
been in direct contact with MUFON investigators. There is now re-
|
|
ported to be a second video tape of a moving and hovering UFO;
|
|
the photographer is in no way related to Ed. And, there are over
|
|
100 witnesses of sightings who have asked to file reports, with
|
|
some accounts involving five and six witnesses.
|
|
Remember the "Jan Tide" with the funny looking blimp of
|
|
radar equipment floating about in Pensacola Bay that was suppose
|
|
to leave in late January or early February? Well you may have
|
|
noticed that it is still there over 90 days later. And, in case no one
|
|
has noticed, there is now a similar companion vessel out there
|
|
with the insignia NASA on the side. Let's also not forget about that
|
|
cute little Army vehicle with the 150-foot telescoping RADAR
|
|
globe that had to be moved out of Ft. Pickens due to excessive
|
|
curiosity of visitors. A civilian employee of Pensacola NAS has
|
|
reported that there are now 18 of those RADAR vehicles operating
|
|
in the Gulf Breeze area.
|
|
What does all of this mean? We're checking the records, but
|
|
it is doubtful that there has been a significant increase in drug
|
|
smuggling activity in the area. Why has the Network News Media
|
|
taken such a hands-off approach to reporting these events outside
|
|
of the Pensacola area? Is there Government INTEREST in this case
|
|
of UFO activity? Is the Government turning some subtle screws to
|
|
clamp down on exposing what's really happening here? If so,
|
|
WHY? The answer may lie somewhere in the MJ-12 documents
|
|
that I've enclosed with this letter. These documents have been
|
|
available for over a year now, and have been widely published in
|
|
their entirety in (among others) The Danville Newspapers in
|
|
Pennsylvania and at least one major newsletter out of Cranston,
|
|
Rhode Island. Experts who have researched these documents
|
|
thoroughly say they are authentic. A memo from President
|
|
Truman makes direct reference to the MJ-12 operation. There
|
|
is more, much more, but this should be enough to encourage any
|
|
doubters out there that UFO's are REAL. Their purpose is now
|
|
fundamentally known. We may be powerless to stop it, although
|
|
some experts feel otherwise.
|
|
A letter to the President of the United States was mailed today
|
|
along with correspondence to several members of congress and
|
|
the Senate. The purpose is to seek official help in matters related
|
|
to the Gulf Breeze Sightings. Matters that involve the purpose
|
|
behind the visitations. Help is very much needed here. Although
|
|
exceptionally competent as I stated in my report to the UFO
|
|
Intelligence Community on April 21, 1988, there are but less than
|
|
a handful of part-time qualified investigators available in the
|
|
area to handle the massive workload. Scientific monitoring and
|
|
evaluation by civilian technologists is all but vacant here, except
|
|
for the exhaustive efforts of Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D. The
|
|
reassuring hand of Budd Hopkins has been quite welcome therapy
|
|
for those in need, but it is not nearly enough.
|
|
Will help be on the way? We'll keep you posted as the gears
|
|
and cogs of our bureaucracy oil up for action. The critics and
|
|
skeptics will not be able to sweep this intrusion under the carpet
|
|
with the guise of a hoax for long. Our prayers are with you and
|
|
all whose lives have been changed forever.
|
|
