³ MYSTERY CRAFT HAUNT CALIFORNIA AIR BASES ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³By Hal McKenzie ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Sightings of strange craft have become commonplace in ³
|
|
³southern California's Antelope Valley, particularly near Air³
|
|
³Force bases and supersecret aerospace research facilities ³
|
|
³called "skunk works," according to Bill Hamilton, an ³
|
|
³independent UFO investigator in Glendale. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ A dark, triangular, silent object has been sighted by ³
|
|
³independent witnesses from Lancaster all the way to ³
|
|
³Hesperia, Hamilton said in a phone interview. The object ³
|
|
³seemed to be moving along the northern boundary of the San ³
|
|
³Gabnel Mountains on an eastwest trajectory. The object has ³
|
|
³been seen "quite frequently within the last 10 months," ³
|
|
³Hamilton said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Hamilton cited a news report of a United Airlines 747 ³
|
|
³jumbo jet that nearly collided with a mysterious, wingless ³
|
|
³craft on August 5. Aviation Week & Space Technology, in its ³
|
|
³August 24 issue described the encounter this way: ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ "The pilot and copilot of United flight 934, with a heavy ³
|
|
³passenger load from Los Angeles to London, said they saw an ³
|
|
³unusual aircraft coming directly at them and pass under the ³
|
|
³747 by an estimated 500-1,000 feet. The incident occurred ³
|
|
³near George AFB at about 1:45 p.m. on August 5. The 747 was ³
|
|
³at 23,000 ft. departing from Los Angeles International ³
|
|
³Airport on a heading of about 40 deg. magnetic . . . ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ "The several-second sighting gave the crew the impression ³
|
|
³that the other aircraft was a lifting-body configuration, ³
|
|
³and they described it as looking like the forward fuselage ³
|
|
³of a Lockheed SR-71--without wings but with a tail of sorts.³
|
|
³They estimated the size as similar to an F-16. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³* Hints of Secrets ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ "Defense Dept. and Air Force officials said late last ³
|
|
³week that it was not one of their secret projects," the ³
|
|
³AvWeek article continued. " 'But we're not the only ones ³
|
|
³with strange projects,' he added, referring to the CIA and ³
|
|
³other organizations [our emphasis]." Was this an inadvertent³
|
|
³tip-off of secret tests of alien technology conducted by ³
|
|
³shadowy ultra-secret government agencies outside the regular³
|
|
³military? ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Hamilton also said there were "one or two reports of big ³
|
|
³boomerangs being sighted in the Lancaster area" of a type ³
|
|
³seen frequently over upstate New York and Belgium, some of ³
|
|
³which witnesses estimated to be 2-3 football fields in span.³
|
|
³He said it was significant that the sightings took place in ³
|
|
³and around airspace controlled by the military, at Edwards ³
|
|
³AFB and George AFB, as well as an FAA facility for the Los ³
|
|
³Angeles area near Palmdale and other aerospace facilities. ³
|
|
³When asked about the boomerangs, authorities "just deny ³
|
|
³knowing anything about it," Hamilton said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Hamilton said that last summer, when there was heavy ³
|
|
³sighting activity in Antelope Valley, he called the Public ³
|
|
³Affairs officer at Edwards AFB. "He didn't dispute it, but ³
|
|
³said there was a lot of secret projects in the valley," ³
|
|
³Hamilton said. "He told me he wanted to take some fast film ³
|
|
³and see it himself." The FAA denied any radar contact, ³
|
|
³Hamilton said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³* Discs and Boomerangs ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Hamilton said that on several occasions in the last two ³
|
|
³years there were suspicious sightings near "skunk works," or³
|
|
³top-secret research and development facilities in the ³
|
|
³valley. He said that at a Northrop facility, witnesses saw a³
|
|
³"disc hovering directly over the facility in broad daylight,³
|
|
³streaking off toward the mountains. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ "Back in October 26, 1988, witnesses saw two large ³
|
|
³boomerangs escorted by about 17 discs in formation, at very ³
|
|
³slow speed, that flew over the Northrop facility, and was ³
|
|
³seen that night in Fresno. A friend who saw it pass directly³
|
|
³overhead estimated it was twice the width of his property, ³
|
|
³which was 330 feet wide," Hamilton said. ³
