|
The year 1991 was an unprecedented year for sightings and encounters in the
|
|
Antelope Valley of California, embracing the cities of Palmdale, Lancaster,
|
|
and Rosamond (Edwards AFB is some 20 miles east of Rosamond.) I was
|
|
investigating the reports of sightings associated with a Northrop Skunk
|
|
Works facility 20 miles west of Rosamond in the Tehachapi Mountains on the
|
|
north side of the valley, when I heard about two witnesses who had
|
|
experiences of missing time. These two women, Pam and Jackie, lived within
|
|
eyeball range of the facility and had experienced a number of strange
|
|
events. In addition, Jackie, who could see the facility clearly from her
|
|
property in the high desert, reported two daylight sightings. In each case,
|
|
she contends that she witnessed a large disk ascend from the facility and
|
|
move eastward along the base of the Tehachapis. Construction workers have
|
|
informed me that the facility itself has several underground levels.
|
|
|
|
On the evenlng of May 14, 1991, Pam had her strangest encounter ever.
|
|
Shortly after 11:00 pm she reports that three "grays" appeared by her
|
|
bedside and started to lift her off the bed. She lives in a large,
|
|
custom-built pentagonal desert home that has one large room without
|
|
partitions. The kitchen, bedroom and living room are open to one another.
|
|
She started to struggle with the grays-the four-and-a-half-foot
|
|
category--when she spotted a human in the living room area. The man, dressed
|
|
all in black, was holding a device that resembled a small TV and dangling a
|
|
cord. Pam heard the man say, "You have no electricity."
|
|
|
|
At this point she somehow freed herself from the entities and went to grab a
|
|
light cord that would switch on a light from her twelve-volt system. The
|
|
light would not come on. She then yelled for her husband to awaken. Events
|
|
then took a bizarre turn. Hearing their 100-pound labrador, Casey, barking
|
|
in the yard, she and her husband went to the north-facing kitchen window.
|
|
Her attention was drawn to a man who lay prone on a projecting part of the
|
|
roof near a ladder. The man was dressed in full-dress air force blues. The
|
|
three grays were now on the ground below the man, as well as a K-9 sentry
|
|
dogt that was poised to attack Pam's dog. In the sky over the yard there
|
|
were a number of red lights. The man yelled to the grays, "Get her out of
|
|
the house," while Pam yelled back, "Don't kill my dog."
|
|
|
|
In the wake of this panic, Pam next remembers standing alone outside and
|
|
behind their generator shack. The man,the dog,the grays, and her husband
|
|
were no longer in sight. Red lights were revolving above her and a thick fog
|
|
was emanating from ports set around the large craft hovering above.
|
|
|
|
Her next memory was that of awakening, seated on her bed at 3:50 am. I
|
|
arrived at Pam's place the next morning and spent all day with her. That
|
|
evening we had a local certified hypnotherapist, Miranda Cunha, regress Pam
|
|
through the incident. We discovered a mental block in the missing-time
|
|
period. A few tidbits emerged from this session. Pam believes that she may
|
|
have been taken to a base inside the Tehachapis (the second case that
|
|
reported this) and that she was cautioned not to reveal what she knows. She
|
|
felt very threatened by this incident. This is just a brief recounting of
|
|
only one of Pam's encounters, but significant for its mention of human
|
|
involvement and its disturbing implications. Pam is a good observer and very
|
|
precise about her experiences. Jackie reports seeing Pam's yard enveloped in
|
|
a fog that same night, but does not remember seeing the lights, which may
|
|
have been directed downward and obscured by the fog screen put out by the
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
Since that night, Pam has also been buzzed by low-flying helicopters. One
|
|
military helicopter hovered less than a hundred feet over her yard. Since
|
|
there have been some remarkable sightings over this area during the year and
|
|
Pam's account raises many questions, I would like to relate other events
|
|
that enlarge the scope considerably.
|
|
|
|
On May 28, the night of a full moon, I went to a certain observation area in
|
|
the Antelope Valley just west of the city of Lancaster and south of the
|
|
Northrop facility in the Tehachapi mountain range. Joined by three other
|
|
observers, we saw our first aerial light emerge at the crest of the
|
|
mountains south of us. The light was white with an amber tinge. It moved
|
|
west above the mountain ridge, reached a certain point, then started
|
|
strobing fluorescent red and white lights. As it continued to move west,then
|
|
northwest, it began to jump and dance erratically. When it reached the far
|
|
end of the west valley, I could see a silhouette against the twilight blue
|
|
sky. The object appeared to be boomerang-shaped with several strobe lights
|
|
dancing around its perimeter. This object suddenly vanished. A second and
|
|
third object appeared above the same mountains and followed roughly the same
|
|
pattern of activity, except that they continued on their course to disappear
|
|
in the distance. The wild "jumpers" were sometimes so erratic that normal
|
|
aircraft could not have withstood the structural stresses that would result
|
|
from such rapid changes in motion.
|
|
|
|
On the following night, with thirteen other witnesses gathered at our desert
|
|
observation post, I viewed a spectacular light show starting in the same way
|
|
as the previous night's. Researchers and abductees (including Pam and
|
|
Jackie) were present. We saw between 25 and 30 objects, several of which
|
|
danced and zig-zagged in all directions. One or two of the objects also
|
|
disappeared when in clear view.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the strobing jumpers, we saw what appeared to be a large
|
|
craft maneuvering to the east. It appeared to be triangular with a steady
|
|
fluorescent red light on the right and an aquamarine-colored light on its
|
|
left tip. This object flew both forwards and backwards and glided silently
|
|
sideways. It turned and tilted until it came to the south end of the street
|
|
as if it were peering at us. It then tilted on its edge and turned to
|
|
proceed back to its point of origin. I snapped four photos at that instant,
|
|
but the lights failed to register on 1000 ASA Ektar film. This light show
|
|
lasted two-and-one-half hours.
|
|
|
|
At one point two air force jets crossed from northwest to south-east and
|
|
returned, but did not attempt to close with any of the UFOs.
|
|
|
|
Nearby Palmdale is the site of a major Los Angeles Air Traffic Control
|
|
Center, as well as several aerospace facllities, and Air Force Plant 42.
|
|
|
|
Edwards AFB is a few miles to the north, near the town of Rosamond. Yet no
|
|
aircraft were sent out to intercept these strange aerial objects! I phoned
|
|
the Edwards AFB Public Affairs Office the next day, and the officer on duty
|
|
was extremely interested in our sightings, but could not offer no immediate
|
|
explanation for them except to say that he was aware that the Antelope
|
|
Valley had several secret projects that might involve advanced technology
|
|
aircraft, and that he had no access to that sort of information.
|
|
|
|
We feel that the people on these secret projects are well aware of what is
|
|
flying in the skies over Lancaster. In the early morning hours of July 25,
|
|
Pam and I were watching the valley skies, as we had made it a sort of ritual
|
|
during the warm summer nights. At 12:45 am, a string of gold-colored lights
|
|
approached silently and rapidly from the west, moving east. The golden
|
|
lights were surrounded by a coronal field that may have been ionized layers
|
|
of plasma. Some of this "plasma" appeared to be shedding from its source and
|
|
trailing behind. As the string reached the city limits of Lancaster, the
|
|
lights disappeared one by one.
|
|
|
|
At least two other sighting parties viewed this same light string from
|
|
separate locations. One of the other parties had a camcorder and starlight
|
|
scope, and videotaped this procession of lights. I have a VHS copy of the
|
|
tape. After one of the other witnesses mentioned the starlight scope's
|
|
ability to enhance night photography to his neighbor, his neighbor bought
|
|
one, and on the night of August 1 tested its ability to record the passage
|
|
of an airliner over downtown Lancaster. To his surprise, a small lighted
|
|
object appeared and raced around the airliner, executing a sharp-angled,
|
|
high-speed fly-around, and then faded out against the background stars. I
|
|
also have this segment on video and have shown it on San Diego's ABC
|
|
affiliate Channel 10, which did a special report on UFOs on their nightly
|
|
news in late October.
|
|
|
|
One of the most spectacular sightings occurred on November 4. While driving
|
|
to work in the morning, Pam spotted a triangular shape over the Antelope
|
|
Valley Freeway (Highway 14) at 7:11 a.m. It gave off a bright flash of gold
|
|
and green. She was headed south on 60th Street West when the triangular
|
|
object appeared. She then entered the freeway traveling south toward
|
|
Lancaster.
|
|
|
|
At 7:18 am, a very large charcoal-black, arrowhead-shaped vehicle passed
|
|
over her pickup truck, which was headed north over the Avenue H overpass. It
|
|
had no windows or openings. Running the whole length of the bottom of the
|
|
craft was a tubular structure. The craft had no vertical stabilizers and
|
|
made no sound. It was traveling very slowly. She estimated its attitude as
|
|
300 to 500 feet (very low) and its dimensions as a football field in length
|
|
(300 feet) and as wide as the freeway, including the central corridor and
|
|
pullovers (about 80 feet). She exited at Avenue I and pulled into an ARCO
|
|
station and quickly jumped out to look for the object. The object was
|
|
nowhere in sight.
|
|
|
|
There have been other peculiar activities and light shows reported to me
|
|
from the east side of the valley. Some of these sightings are in the
|
|
vicinity of another secret underground facility owned by McDonnell-Douglas
|
|
Corporation. Near this facility is El Mirage Dry Lake and Shadow Mountain.
|
|
A team of skywatchers from Victorville has seen many strange balls of light
|
|
and one huge lighted craft near Shadow Mountain. They have also reported
|
|
seeing an identical string of lights on several occasions similar to the one
|
|
we viewed on July 25.
|
|
|
|
Another abduction case was reported in the Victorville area. The abductee,
|
|
Diane, reported being taken to an underground facility jointly occupied by
|
|
grays and men in air force uniforms.
|
|
|
|
A Victorville psychotherapist is doing extensive work on this case. If we
|
|
take these reports seriously, and do not dismiss them as a product of the
|
|
witness' imagination, then there are significant implications in the
|
|
content of such reports.
|
|
|
|
The few informants from the aerospace sector who have approached me have
|
|
done little more than cautiously confirm the existence of these underground
|
|
bases, the reality of the alien presence, and verified advanced technology
|
|
projects. I am not advocating a wholesale belief in any conspiracy scenario
|
|
nor do I believe all the tales I hear,
|
|
but I am advocating a need for
|
|
further careful and cautious investigation based on eye-witness testimony.
|
|
|
|
The light shows over Lancaster continue. The "jumpers" are still seen
|
|
frequently. Sky watchers are flocking to the Antelope Valley in hopes of
|
|
seeing UFOs.
