THE GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK INCIDENT

INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
||
Many nights I go outside of my home into the yard where I look up
|
||
through the clear, crisp, desert night, to look at the bright stars and
|
||
wonder. Sometimes I am reminded of nights similar to these when I stood
|
||
upon the high plateau of Glastonbury Tor in England, looking at stars
|
||
so bright you could almost reach out and grab a handful of them, and
|
||
almost relive the legends of CAmelot and Arthur the King. When I
|
||
think back, I remember the pleasant times and joy that was once a part
|
||
of my experiences in England, and with my family. As I think back on
|
||
it all I also remember the pain that was caused me during that time.
|
||
|
||
For those of you who are reading this story, many of you may read
|
||
it and look upon it as a science-fiction story. Many of you may be able
|
||
to recognize the truths. For now let's say that it is a fiction.
|
||
People seem to be able to accept fiction over fact because sometimes
|
||
the fact over-shadows the fiction in such a way that the fiction sounds
|
||
more realistic than the fact. This is such a case.
|
||
|
||
What I am about to present to you is a true story. I know it is
|
||
true because I have lived it. It is my story, and although I present
|
||
it as fiction it is fact. I have also acknowledged the fact that the
|
||
material I viewed may perhaps have been fraudulent. But what I have
|
||
been forced to live through is not.
|
||
|
||
Several of the names used in this book have been changed. This is
|
||
not to protect the innocent, but rather, to protect myself from possible
|
||
litigation. Many of the names have not been changed, these are the
|
||
heros of the story and are in fact living human beings who are or who
|
||
have been currently investigating the facts concerning UFO's and related
|
||
subjects. To them I say the following:
|
||
|
||
If I have taken liberties, it is not out of malice toward you, but
|
||
more admiration. It is because of your efforts in the research fields
|
||
that I have finally been able to present this story to the public in
|
||
order that they, the readers, can form their own opinions and beliefs
|
||
concerning the material that I am about to present. All of you have my
|
||
admiration, and my thanks. Even those who have disagreed with me
|
||
personally. Your efforts to discredit me have spurred me on farther and
|
||
harder than any of my friends. I admire your adherence to your ethics,<2C>and encourage you to keep doubting, and to keep hunting for the truth.
|
||
In the end it can benefit all of us who desire to know the truth.

Chapter One
|
||
|
||
The day had begun in the manner that it usually did. Stephanie
|
||
was a little hard to get up, but that was usual also. I had gotten up
|
||
when the alarm clock went off and went into the boys room to roust them
|
||
out so that they could get ready for the trip over to the day care
|
||
center on base. I of course had to get baby Mikey ready for the trip
|
||
since he wasn't quite three months old. But that wasn't really a chore.
|
||
As I remember him now, he was a good baby, always smiling, and one of
|
||
those rare children that slept through the night from the time he went
|
||
to sleep until he woke up the next morning. It wasn't until many years
|
||
later I learned that Michael was deaf and suffered from Tourettes
|
||
Syndrome. But it was those few briefs months with him that I remember
|
||
with fondness. My son David I remember with fondness as well. The
|
||
exact opposite of Michael, I remember him to be active and full of life.
|
||
I often referred to him as my terrorist in training because he was
|
||
always getting into some sort of trouble as a three year old. Things
|
||
that at the time made me very angry, but which I look back upon as
|
||
pleasant memories and often laugh at the antics that he did. It is
|
||
amazing how memories changes with time, distance, and circumstance.
|
||
|
||
That day however is one that I don't think I will ever forget.
|
||
After a quick breakfast we loaded everyone into the car, a brand new
|
||
1976 Volvo 245DL Station Wagon that Stephanie and I had bought through
|
||
the credit union at the base. It was dark red in color. I remember that
|
||
well because we had argued over the color when we first bought it. I
|
||
wanted a dark Blue because it was the same color as that which was on
|
||
the family crest. In those days I was very much into the history of my
|
||
family and that kind of thing. She was willing to settle for anything
|
||
but blue. So we got red instead. I didn't tell her that the car dealer
|
||
could only get red anyway. So in a sense she felt like she got her way
|
||
and I didn't bother to tell her that neither of us got what we wanted
|
||
. . . discretion being the better part of valor in this case. In any
|
||
event, I dropped Stephy off at the school and took the boys over to the
|
||
day-care center and went on to work at the elephant cage. The Security
|
||
Services Command Listening Post at RAF Chicksands, where I worked as a
|
||
Data Analyst.
|
||
|
||
This day didn't seem to be any different from those I had before. <20>I was making plans to go to Norwich that weekend for a meeting of the
|
||
Medieval Association of which I was a member. That weekend we were
|
||
planning to have a medieval revel, which meant much drinking, fighting
|
||
and partying for many of us. I was hoping to have the chance to try
|
||
out my new armor that I had spend several months building outside in
|
||
the garage. When I arrived at the `Cage I parked the car and went into
|
||
the front entrance where I showed my identification badge to the guard
|
||
and signed in, then proceeded to my cubbyhole office, stopping to get
|
||
a mug of coffee along the way.
|
||
|
||
When I arrived at my desk I put my coffee on the desk and cleaned
|
||
up before notifying the Duty Officer that I was there and ready to go
|
||
to work. This was standard procedure since it was the duty officer that
|
||
brought the daily work assignments to the Analyst's that were working
|
||
that particular shift. Duty officers came and went since it was a
|
||
rotating assignment from senior staff personnel on the base. I guess
|
||
the theory behind that was if they didn't know when a particular officer
|
||
had the duty they couldn't subvert him or her, or whatever . . .. In
|
||
any case nobody even bothered to remember the D.O.'s name for the day,
|
||
and they knew better than to bother us when we were working. One of
|
||
them upset another analyst that had been working for some fourteen hours
|
||
straight through and the analyst stood up indignantly and urinated on
|
||
the poor bastard's leg. The message was sent and the point taken, from
|
||
what I understand. In our own ways each of us dealt with the stress in
|
||
our own fashion. I used to pass out little red business cards that were
|
||
embossed with the message, "Methinks thou art a Shithead". It lacked
|
||
finesse, but I felt it had a certain flare to it. It certainly got the
|
||
message across to those who pissed me off. As I think upon it now, it
|
||
certainly would apply to a certain few within UFOlogy today. But then
|
||
again, I couldn't afford to have that many printed up . . ..
|
||
|
||
Upon notifying the Duty Officer, he came to my desk with my day's
|
||
work load. This usually consisted of anywhere from five to ten
|
||
documents of information requiring me to read through each one and then
|
||
write up a report that consisted of no more than one page. I generally
|
||
read the information that each document contained and assigned what was
|
||
known as a probability factor to each bit of information contained
|
||
therein. The documents were primarily of translations of information
|
||
that had been received from the monitoring of radio signals through the
|
||
"big ear", and these signals generally originated from one of the Soviet
|
||
Block Nations. This day however was to be different. When the Duty
|
||
Officer arrived it was with a diplomatic pouch which was locked and
|
||
sealed. The outside of the pouch was fairly unremarkable. It was of
|
||
brown leather, much like an old fashion attache case that you use to see
|
||
carried by businessmen during the late fifties and sixties, and was
|
||
locked with a locking mechanism through the flap that came over the top
|
||
of the case from one side to the other. The one thing that did stick
|
||
out about it was the fact that next to the handle was a chain that came
|
||
off of it with a handcuff attached to the end of it.
|
||
|
||
When the D.O. arrived he handed me a Disposition form that
|
||
contained instructions as to what I was to do with the document that
|
||
was contained in the pouch. The instructions were fairly simple, I was
|
||
to read and analyze the document and write up a report concerning the
|
||
probability of validity and my own personal reaction to the material<61>that I read. At the time it sounded simple enough. I had no idea at
|
||
the time just how much that act would cost me, nor how it would change
|
||
my life.

CHAPTER TWO
|
||
GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT #13
|
||
|
||
The following are excepts from a document written by John O. Lear,
|
||
Investigator and hopefully friend. I include this because when John
|
||
came to visit me at my home in Virginia after I had been in hiding for
|
||
almost eight years, he convinced me that perhaps it would be better for
|
||
me to come out into the open where everyone could see me and hear the
|
||
story of what really happened. For the most part the information
|
||
contained herein is accurate, but I'll let you read it from the
|
||
perception of someone other than myself, then I will fill in some of the
|
||
blanks.
|

|
||
********************
|
||
|
||
A series of PROJECT GRUDGE/BLUEBOOK reports have been related
|
||
over the years in connection with the USAF's investigation into UFO's
|
||
which was supposedly terminated with the release of the Condon report
|
||
in the late 1960's. Reports 1 through 12 of GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK were
|
||
generally innocuous and contained no classified or truly sensitive
|
||
material. There was a final report, #14 which was widely circulated
|
||
and about which an entire book was written: FLYING SAUCERS:AN ANALYSIS
|
||
OF THE AIR FORCE PROJECT BLUE BOOK SPECIAL REPORT NO.14 by Leon
|
||
Davidson; the fifth edition was published in 1976 by Blue-Book
|
||
Publishers; 64 Prospect st., White Plains, New York 10606. Missing from
|
||
public view, however, was report #13.
|
||
Several years ago, Bill English, son of an Arizona state legislator<6F>and former Captain in the Green Berets had been assigned to an RAF
|
||
`listening Post' north of London as an information analyst. English was,
|
||
in the course of his duties, asked to prepare an analysis of the elusive
|
||
GRUDGE 13 report. On his discharge from his work at the `listening Post'
|
||
he returned to the United States and began to do a little UFO research
|
||
on his own. English had been no stranger to the UFO phenomenon. In Viet
|
||
Nam he was member of a Special Forces investigative team that went in
|
||
to retrieve a B-52 that was forced down by a UFO and all the occupants
|
||
killed. Communications had been received from the B-52 before it went
|
||
down to the effect that it was "....under attack by a UFO....", a
|
||
"....large light....".
|
||
The plane was found intact, sitting in the jungle. There was no
|
||
swath indicative of a crash landing. Only the bottom of the fuselage
|
||
showed any damage, there was no damage to the underside of the engine
|
||
pods. Although the plane was completely intact the entire crew had been
|
||
mutilated.
|
||
English, through contacts he still maintains has determined that
|
||
the US government `most definitely' supports a `project dealing
|
||
specifically with UFO's and captured aliens'. According to what he has
|
||
learned, the US government captured a trio of aliens, and that as of
|
||
mid 1981, one of the beings was still alive in captivity. English also
|
||
claims that "at one point in the early 1950's until the mid 1960's the
|
||
Air Force maintained relocation and debriefing colonies for people that
|
||
had experienced close encounters of the 3rd and 4th kind. They were
|
||
isolated for all intents and purposes for the rest of their lives. He
|
||
doubts that these colonies are still in existence.
|
||
English dictated 2 audio cassettes outlining what he remembered
|
||
from the Grudge 13 report. These audio cassettes were transcribed into
|
||
hand written notes by another person. The information contained therein
|
||
indicated what had been suspected all along:that the US Government was
|
||
involved in the greatest deception in the history of mankind and that
|
||
not only did flying saucers exist but that the government had several
|
||
in secret storage and had captured at least three live aliens.
|
||
|
||
The following is a summary of what Bill English remembers from what
|
||
he read during that day in July of 1977 of PROJECT GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK
|
||
REPORT NO. 13.
|
||
In box, diplomatic pouch under lock and key system. Lock had been
|
||
opened, pouch was easily accessed. Standard diplomatic couriers pouch
|
||
marked American Embassy Couriers, contained pouch serial number
|
||
jl327Delta. Inside a publication with red tape which indicated code red
|
||
security precautions and an Air Force disposition form. Disposition form
|
||
was standard white page copy, title was `Analysis Report'. Further down
|
||
was `Analyze enclosed report under code red measures, give abstract
|
||
breakdown and report on validity. Observe all code red measures.
|
||
Analysis required immediately'. Underneath were a series of dashes then
|
||
the letters NDF then another series of dashes. Below that, lower left
|
||
hand corner were the initials WGB.
|
||
Publication was withdrawn from pouch. It measured approx., 8" by
|
||
11" with grey cover. Heavily bound, paper back style similar to
|
||
technical manuals.Across the center front it read, "Grudge/Blue Book
|
||
Report No. 13". It was dated 1953-(1963). In the lower right-hand corner
|
||
was AFSN 2246-3. in upper left hand corner was the word `annotated'.
|
||
Across the front upper right hand corner to lower left hand corner was
|
||
red tape indicating code red security measures. Across the front was<61>stamped in red ink `Top Secret Need to Know Only Crypto Clearance 14
|
||
Required'. Inside front cover upper left hand corner were hand written
|
||
notations in ink which were blacked out by black felt pen.
|
||
Inside cover sheet was basically the same information as the cover.
|
||
Second page was a title page. Next page after that was an appendix with
|
||
numerous notations made in it.Notations dealt with inserts of what
|
||
appeared to be photos and additional notes. At bottom of third page it
|
||
read G/BV Page 1 of 624 pages. Title page was subject letter. Complete
|
||
list of appendix not remember. Title. Some notes on the practical
|
||
applications of the Worst Nemo equations.

||
Report, J. Allen Hynek, Lt. Col. Friend. Appendix continued on for about
|
||
5 pages. Opening subject page consisted of a report of the findings as
|
||
written by Lt. Col. Friend and his analysis.
|
||
Must stress at this point that the version seen was annotated.
|
||
There were inserts that were added to this copy after it had been
|
||
initially printed.Sections remembered very vividly are the photographs
|
||
and the reports concerning captive sights of various UFO's to include
|
||
Mexico, sweden, United States and Canada. There were also what was then
|
||
classified Close Encounters of the 3rd kind. It was made very clear that
|
||
these people whom it was determined had genuine CE 3's were moved in the
|
||
middle of the night by Air Force personnel and relocated to various
|
||
sites in the midwest and Northwest parts of the United States. In many
|
||
cases these people experienced physical ailments from exposure to
|
||
various types of radiation.
|
||
One case especially noted and remembered very vividly was entitled
|
||
"Darlington Farm Case" out of Ohio. Case apparently took place in
|
||
October 1953. Man, wife and 13 year old son were sitting down at dinner
|
||
table. As they sat there the lights in the farm house began to dim. Dogs
|
||
and animals raised ruckus on outside. 13 year old boy got up from dinner
|
||
table to see what was going on. Called his mother and father to come
|
||
look at the funny light in the sky. Father and mother went out onto the
|
||
porch. When they got out on the porch one of the dogs broke loose from
|
||
leash beside house and came running around front. Boy began chasing it
|
||
into the open field. As mother and father watched the light comedown
|
||
from the sky. They described it as a round ball of fire and it began to
|
||
hover over the field where the boy and dog had run to. As they stood and
|
||
watched, the mother and father heard the boy start screaming for help
|
||
whereupon the father grabbed his shotgun which was right next to the<68>door and began to run out into the field with the mother following. When
|
||
the father got to the field he saw his son being carried away by what
|
||
looked like little men, into this huge fiery looking object. As it took
|
||
off the father fired several rounds at the object, to no avail. They
|
||
found the dog, it's head had been crushed but no sign of the boy or any
|
||
other footprints of the little men who apparently carried him off.
|
||
Father immediately called the Darlington police and they immediately
|
||
came out to investigate. The official report read that the boy had run
|
||
off and was lost in the forest which bordered the farm. Within 48 hours
|
||
the Air Force made the determination that the family was to be relocated
|
||
and the mother and father were picked up by Air Force Intelligence and
|
||
all personal belonging and possessions were loaded into U.S. Air Force
|
||
trucks and moved to a northwestern relocation site.
|
||
The mother was in shock and had to go through a great deal of
|
||
psychotherapy and deprogramming as did father. One interesting aspect
|
||
about this case was classification under Air Force report which read it
|
||
was a genuine CE 3 and that for the good of national security the mother
|
||
and father had been relocated to relocation zones Z21-14. Not sure
|
||
whether this indicated map grid coordinates or latitude longitude.
|
||
According to the report there were at least four relocation sites across
|
||
the United States. Depending upon which type of encounter these people
|
||
had, the report indicated that there were extensive medical facilities
|
||
available at the relocation sites to deal with all medical emergencies
|
||
up to and including radiation poisoning. The report mentioned a site
|
||
located in the Utah-Nevada area, but no indication of it's purpose or
|
||
what it was for.
|
||
Report gave clear indication of reports of human mutilations, most
|
||
notably was a case witnessed by Air Force personnel in which an Air
|
||
Force Sgt. E-6 by the name of Jonathan P. Lovette was observed being
|
||
taken captive aboard what appeared to be a UFO at the WHITE sands
|
||
Missile Test Range in New Mexico. This abduction took place in March of
|
||
1956 at about 0300 local and was witnessed by Major William Cunningham
|
||
of the United States Air Force Missile Command near Holloman Air Force
|
||
Base.
|
||
Major Cunningham and Sgt. Lovette were out in a field downrange
|
||
from the launch sites looking for debris from a missile test when Sgt.
|
||
Lovette went over the ridge of a small sand dune and was out of sight
|
||
for a time. Major Cunningham heard Sgt. Lovette scream in what was
|
||
described as terror or agony. The Major, thinking Lovette had been
|
||
bitten by a snake or something ran over the crest of the dune and saw
|
||
Sgt. Lovette being dragged into what appeared to him and was described
|
||
as being a silvery disk like object which hovered in the air
|
||
approximately 15 to 20 feet. Major Cunningham described what appeared
|
||
to be a long snake-like object which was wrapped around the sergeant's
|
||
legs and was dragging him to the craft. Major Cunningham admittedly
|
||
froze as the sergeant was dragged inside the disc and observed the disc
|
||
and observed the disc going up into the sky very quickly. Major
|
||
Cunningham got on the jeep radio and reported the incident to Missile
|
||
Control whereupon Missile Control confirmed a radar sighting. Search
|
||
parties went into the desert looking for Sgt. Lovette. Major
|
||
Cunningham's report was taken and he was admitted to the White Sands
|
||
Base Dispensary for observation.
|
||
The search for Sgt. Lovette continues for three days at the end of
|
||
which his nude body was found approximately ten miles downrange. The
|
||
body had been mutilated;the tongue had been removed from the lower<65>portion of the jaw. An incision had been made just under the tip of the
|
||
chin and extended all the way back to the esophagus and larynx. He had
|
||
been emasculated and his eyes had been removed. Also, his anus had been
|
||
removed and there were comments in the report on the apparent surgical
|
||
skill of the removal of these items including the genitalia. The report
|
||
commented that the anus and the genitalia had been removed `as though
|
||
a plug' which in the case of the anus extended all the way to the colon.
|
||
There was no sign of blood within the system. The initial autopsy report
|
||
confirmed that the system had been completely drained of blood and that
|
||
there was no vascular collapse due to death by bleeding. Sub-comment was
|
||
added that this was unusual because in any body who dies of bleeding or
|
||
in the case of a complete blood loss there is always vascular collapse.
|
||
Also noted was that when the body was found there were a number of dead
|
||
predatory type birds within the area who apparently had died after
|
||
trying to partake of the sergeant's body. There were a number of
|
||
extremely grisly black and white photographs. From all indications the
|
||
body had been exposed to the elements for at least a day or two. The New
|
||
Mexico sun in the desert is extremely hot and debilitating under normal
|
||
circumstances.
|
||
In this section of the report it also indicated that there were
|
||
numerous occasions in which a ufo was tracked along side a fired missile
|
||
and on one occasion said missile was observed being taken aboard a UFO
|
||
while in flight. The speeds indicated were absolutely phenomenal.
|
||
(English's father had told him privately that on more than one occasion
|
||
he had personally tracked what they termed as `Foo fighters'. English's
|
||
father was an electronics engineer by profession and was fairly well
|
||
versed on electronics engineering and design and on more than one
|
||
occasion he was involved in telemetry programming of missiles.
|
||
(English's father is currently a state legislator in Arizona.)
|
||
The report also indicated that there were a number of recovery
|
||
teams that were activated specifically for the purpose of recovering
|
||
any and all evidence of UFO's and UFO sightings. Most notably recorded
|
||
in publication was what they called Recovery Team Alpha. It was reported
|
||
that Alpha had been extremely active in a number of areas and on certain
|
||
occasions had traveled outside the United States. Alpha was based out
|
||
of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and was on the move constantly.
|
||
Further information in the report consisted of such things as
|
||
reported sightings and where Air Force planes had been destroyed or had
|
||
combat encounters or had been attacked by UFO's. Also there were autopsy
|
||
reports of various human mutilations.
|
||
About midway through the report came a section which dealt
|
||
specifically with photographs. Each photo was labeled and appendixed to
|
||
certain reports. A number of photo's in there dealt with a recovery
|
||
program of some type that took place in the southwestern part of the
|
||
United States. They did not give a location name but they did give grid
|
||
coordinates for that area. There is no clear indication to exactly where
|
||
it was. The photos dealt with special teams that were called in to
|
||
recover a crashed UFO. It also dealt with alien bodies and autopsy
|
||
reports,autopsy type photographs, high quality, color, 8 x 10, 5 x 7.
|
||
Photo number 1 showed an alien being on an autopsy table which is
|
||
a metal table with runnels and traps underneath to trap fluid and feces.
|
||
Body appeared to be a little short of 4 feet. Table about 7 foot. No
|
||
clothing on body, no genitalia, body completely heterous, head was a
|
||
rounded cranium, slightly enlarged, eyes almond shaped, slits where nose
|
||
would be, extremely small mouth, receding chin line, holes where ears<72>would be. Photo was taken at angle, side view, looking at body from 45
|
||
degree elevation, left hand was visible, head was facing to left, body
|
||
was right to left (head on right, feet on left), eyes were closed
|
||
appeared to be oriental-looking and almond shaped, left hand slightly
|
||
longer than normal, wrist coming down just about 2 to 3 inches above the
|
||
knees. Wrist appeared to be articulated in a fashion that allowed a
|
||
double joint with 3 digit fingers. Wrist was very slender. There was no
|
||
thumb. A palm was almost non-existent. The three fingers were direct
|
||
extension from the wrist.
|
||
Color of the skin was a bluish gray, dark bluish gray. At base of
|
||
the body there was a darker color, indicating body was dead for some
|
||
time. Body fluids or blood had settled to base of body. This indicated
|
||
that body had been examined before beginning autopsy.
|
||
Pictures showed beginning stages of autopsy, following standard
|
||
procedure, body was slit from crouch to just under chin and green
|
||
viscous liquid was in evidence. There were internal organs but these
|
||
could not be identified. Photos thereafter concerned specific areas of
|
||
internal organs of what appeared as small cluster of multi-valve heart
|
||
or at least two hearts within the cadaver. No accurate description of
|
||
autopsy report or what was found with corpse accompanying photos.
|
||
Indications that there was no stomach or digestive tract per se. Later
|
||
analysis showed that fluid within the body was chloropyhyl based liquid
|
||
which apparently dealt with photosynthesis or similar process. The
|
||
report theorized that nourishment was taken in through mouth, however
|
||
since there was no digestive tract or anything of this nature, the waste
|
||
products were excreted through skin.
|
||
One section of the report did specify that cadavers were extremely
|
||
odorous, but this could be accounted for by either deterioration or a
|
||
number of things, but theory was that waste was excreted through pores
|
||
of skin. They could only theorize in report because there was no
|
||
xenobiology.
|
||
A report by Dr. J. Allen Hynek was recalled vividly which indicated
|
||
that he had also studied the information provided by this particular
|
||
case and that he felt that it was indeed a genuine UFO capture and
|
||
subsequently the alien was part of UFO. Dr. Hynek was non-committal but
|
||
did however sign the report. Also indicated in the report that he did
|
||
not view the bodies personally, but viewed photographs and accompanying
|
||
reports from autopsies.
|
||
Other photos dealt with a number of bodies which were vivi-
|
||
sectioned in various ways. At one point, a head was removed from the
|
||
body and photographed and autopsy was performed on head. The cranium was
|
||
opened and brain matter was photographed and evident. Interesting thing
|
||
about photo was that there was a ridge bone or dividing partition-type
|
||
bone running directly through center of skull, from front to back, as
|
||
though dividing two brains, one from the other. This seemed apparent
|
||
from the picture. The skin was completely removed from the cranial
|
||
structure and the skull was laid bare as much as possible.
|
||
At one point the skull was cut directly in half and photo showed
|
||
under developed esophagus and nasal cavities. No clear photo of eye orbs
|
||
as we know them, just complete vivisection of skull itself.
|
||
Numerous photos of flesh of the being starting with cutaneous and
|
||
subcutaneous microphotographic plates. Appeared to be cellular studies
|
||
done under microscopic and electron-microscopic type photos. Extreme
|
||
magnification of tissue samples.
|
||
This concluded Bill English's statement which was transcribed from<6F>2 cassette tapes. I obtained this hand written memorandum in August of
|
||
1987 from Paul Bennewitz during my visit with him in Albuquerque. In
|
||
September of 1988 I received a call from Bill English. I asked for a
|
||
chance to meet him and discuss the Grudge 13 report. He said that this
|
||
could be arranged but that the meeting would have to be on his terms for
|
||
security reasons. He explained that there had been several attempts on
|
||
his life by persons unknown since he had made the cassette tapes about
|
||
six years ago. We arranged a meeting at a small airport in Virginia on
|
||
September 16. I was to sit in the lobby with my black flight bag and for
|
||
identification purposes I told Bill what I would be wearing.l I had no
|
||
telephone number for Bill.
|
||
As I walked into the small airport lobby after about a three hour
|
||
drive from Richmond, I immediately noticed 2 gentlemen who seemed `out
|
||
of place' for this locale. Both were wearing pin striped 3 piece suits,
|
||
both had on dark glasses. One was a black gentleman. One was stationed
|
||
inside the lobby door looking out at the parking lot, one was leaning
|
||
up against an airline counter. I sat down and after a few minutes was
|
||
approached by a tall, bearded man in jeans and a heavy jacket. He asked
|
||
if I wanted to have a drink. We walked outside and he introduced himself
|
||
as Bill English. We drove in Bill's car into town to a local bar. About
|
||
five minutes after we ordered and started to talk, the men I had seen
|
||
at the airport came into the bar and sat down. We left for Bill's house
|
||
and never saw the men again for the next 2 days.
|
||
During the next two days I stayed with Bill and his wife and two
|
||
children in a small trailer in the middle of a field at his farm. I
|
||
asked him endless questions concerning the Grudge 13 document, how he
|
||
happened to see it, what happened to him after he saw it and literally
|
||
thousands of questions about the content of the document. My impression
|
||
of Bill English was that he was totally honest, that he stood behind his
|
||
statements and recollection of the Grudge 13 papers, that he was a
|
||
devoted husband and father to his wife's 2 children. That Bill English
|
||
was ready to come forward and enter into any debate regarding the
|
||
legitimacy of the document and his recollections thereof. Of Bill`s
|
||
compassion for his father and his father's feelings concerning Bill and
|
||
the reasons for their occasional disagreements. I have tremendous
|
||
respect for Bill and what he has tried to do in getting this information
|
||
out to the public. It has been at tremendous personal risk, not to
|
||
mention the ridicule by sponsored agents such as Bill Moore, who has
|
||
stated that the Grudge 13 papers were a fraud.
|
||
What follows is additional information about the Grudge 13 papers
|
||
that I obtained from Bill during my visit. In addition to the following
|
||
Bill painstakingly drew many sketches of the photos of different types
|
||
of flying saucers, the equipment obtained from them including a sketch
|
||
of the football sized nuclear generator and sketches of the autopsy
|
||
photos.
|
||
From my notes taken during our 2 day meeting: Bill described a
|
||
photo taken of 3 live aliens. Very clear photos, aliens standing against
|
||
a white tile wall, looking confused as if they had been shoved, were
|
||
looking in different directions.
|
||
Report said that aliens had contacted a U.S. Intelligence Agency
|
||
for initial 2 meetings, one at Holloman, one at Homestead.
|
||
U.S. Air Force relocation personnel (for persons involved in close
|
||
encounters) were referred to as `Men in Black'.
|
||
Major Cunningham was initially accused of murdering Sgt. Jonathan
|
||
P. Lovette. Charges were later dropped. <20> Bill English's place of employment in England was Security Services
|
||
Command, RAF Chicksands.
|
||
Entire Grudge 13 Report was written as if report was geared toward
|
||
preparation of defenses.
|
||
Report told of ultrasonic weapons found in Germany at the end of
|
||
WWII that could shatter 4" thick armor.
|
||
Report told of sensitive military and industrial areas at which
|
||
personnel have experienced missing time.
|
||
|
||
Report told about missing time experienced with personnel
|
||
associated with North American X-15 rocket plane project.
|
||
Report stated that there were 17 different species accounted for
|
||
up to the time of the report.
|
||
Extraterrestrials were referred to as A.L.F.'s. Alien Life forms
|
||
in the report.
|
||
Report referred to one UFO that was recovered and test flown. The
|
||
UFO blew up as the two Air Force pilots aboard attempted to leave the
|
||
atmosphere. English recalls the date as in the mid 50's.
|
||
Report refers to flying saucer program as `Project Red Light' and
|
||
that a secret installation had been constructed in the middle of the
|
||
Atomic Energy Commission testing ground in Nevada.
|
||
At the time of the report 11 alien cadavers were being kept at
|
||
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
|
||
That additional alien cadavers were being stored at 4 to 5 other
|
||
medical institutions.
|
||
That 2 flying saucers of extraterrestrial origin had been tested
|
||
in the wind tunnel at langley, Va.
|
||
That at the time of the report one disc was being stored at McDill
|
||
Air Force Base, Florida.
|
||
That at the time of the report, 1 damaged disc was at Eglin Air
|
||
Force Base in Florida.
|
||
That at the time of the report that had been 2 UFO incidents at
|
||
Ft. Riley, Kansas.
|
||
That at the time of the report a detachment of the Alpha Recovery
|
||
Team was based at Randolph Air Force Base.
|
||
The report discussed civilian and military personnel who had been
|
||
terminated `to eliminate potentially dangerous elements to the national
|
||
security'.
|
||
The General James Doolittle had been mentioned several times in
|
||
the report with the notation that "his (Doolittle's) predictions might
|
||
be correct". There was no indication of what those predictions might
|
||
have been.
|
||
A short segment containing the quotation. "By presidential order,
|
||
certain aspects of research have been undertaken".

The information that John related here is correct as far as the

material concerning Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, but John failed to make

CHAPTER THREE
|
||
BETWEEN THEN AND NOW
|
||
|
||
Shortly after viewing the documents in the Grudge/Blue Book Report
|
||
#13, my life changed dramatically. After reading the documents I
|
||
assigned a probability rating to them of approximately 95%, based on
|
||
information within the document that several years previously I had
|
||
directly been involved with. The recovery of the B-52 Bomber Aircraft
|
||
in Vietnam.
|
||
Much to my surprise the photographs and reports that I and my team
|
||
made of the incident and then turned into MACV Headquarters in Saigon
|
||
appeared within the document. I cannot speak for the validity of the
|
||
rest of the information enclosed therein, but I can vouch for the
|
||
authenticity of that particular material. I would point out that since
|
||
my public announcement of this material, I have publicly said that there
|
||
is the distinct possibility that the material was fraudulent and that
|
||
it was intended that I see it in order to spread mis-information. I
|
||
would point out further, that I do not claim that this material is the
|
||
gospel truth and that everyone should start gathering in their families
|
||
and the animals because the world is about to end. Unlike some others
|
||
that I know are currently on the speaking circuit . . ..
|
||
Within two weeks of viewing the document things began to happen
|
||
with a speed heretofore unknown in government circles. I had originally
|
||
viewed the document during the last week of June of 1977. About the
|
||
second week of July, things had not changed significantly. I was still
|
||
going to my medieval society meetings, taking the wife to school, and
|
||
the boys to the day-care center during the week. On weekends Stephy and
|
||
I would try to plan things together with the kids, outings of various
|
||
types that would allow us to spend time with each other and enjoy
|
||
ourselves. One of my particular favorites was taking my eldest son
|
||
David into Bedfordshire on saturdays. That was when the market place
|
||
was full of vendors trying to sell their wares, and we would just walk
|
||
and see what kind of bargains we could find. It was like an adventure
|
||
to us, and then after we walked through the market we would go to the
|
||
riverside and throw bread to the swans that lived on the banks of the
|
||
Bedford River. I look back on those days with a great deal of joy and
|
||
sadness as they are now gone forever to me, and I am reminded that I
|
||
have now missed the most important years of my sons lives.
|
||
During the second week of July I reported for work as I normally
|
||
did, only this time when I checked in I was met by to Air Security<74>Policemen who informed me that the base commander, Col, Robert Black
|
||
wanted to see me at his office immediately. I was then escorted by
|
||
these two neanderthals to Headquarters building at the top of the hill
|
||
to the col's office where I was made to wait for about thirty minutes
|
||
before Black would see me. When he did see me he was very brusk and
|
||
cold and politely informed me that my services as a Data Analyst for
|
||
the United States Air Force Security Services Command were no longer
|
||
needed and that I was being immediately sent back to the United States
|
||
via a MAC flight from RAF Lakenheath. I politely reminded the Colonel
|
||
that since I was a civilian hire and that my place of hiring was in fact
|
||
in England they had no right to ship me back to the U.S. without my
|
||
consent, and since my wife was a civilian employee of the Department of
|
||
Defence Schools, I would automatically fall under the dependant
|
||
classification if I was no longer employed by the government.
|
||
Black's basic reaction to all of this was laughter. He in turn
|
||
politely informed me that for all he cared I could eat shit and bark at
|
||
the moon. I was going back to the United STates whether I wanted to or
|
||
not, and there wasn't a damned thing I could do about it.
|
||
Seeing that there wasn't much to be gained by arguing with the
|
||
asshole, I then requested permission to at least call my wife at the
|
||
school and let her know what the hell was going on. Permission was
|
||
refused me and I was immediately escorted to RAF Lakenheath under armed
|
||
guard and placed on a flight back to the states.
|
||
When I arrived in the states I immediately tried to call my wife
|
||
to let her know what had happened. Every time I tried to get through,
|
||
the phone would ring, a man's voice would answer and then the phone
|
||
would go dead. Not only did this happen when I tried to call my wife,
|
||
but also when I tried to call several friends that could possibly get
|
||
a message to my wife. Needless to say it was like this for several
|
||
months, and finally I gave up trying. I wrote letters to her, to my
|
||
friends, everyone that I could think of, and still there was no
|
||
response. Finally, I gave up trying. I have since learned that my wife
|
||
transferred to a different Air Force Base shortly after that, after she
|
||
had been told by Black that I quit my job and deserted her and the boys.
|
||
It was a bald face lie, but by then it was to late to prove otherwise,
|
||
and would have been impossible under the circumstances.
|
||
What took place after that was one series of failures after
|
||
another. I returned to my home town of Tucson, Arizona and began
|
||
looking for a job of some type that would support me. After several
|
||
months and much indignation I found a job working as a fry-cook/night
|
||
manager at a Waffle House on I-10. It was during this time that it
|
||
looked as if I might be going back to Europe as there was a job offer
|
||
to work for the British Broadcasting Corporation as a Cameraman. I quit
|
||
my job at the Waffle House, and suddenly the job fell through. I just
|
||
didn't hear anything more from them, and they wouldn't answer any of my
|
||
letters of inquiry. Shortly there after I got a job working for a
|
||
security company as a guard. It was during this juncture in my
|
||
employment career that I was assigned to work at the campus of Pima
|
||
Community College.
|
||
Prior to my assignment at the college, I had not given much thought
|
||
to the question of UFO's and the effect that it was having on my life.
|
||
In fact I had become so consumed with the act of survival that I had not
|
||
given it any thought at all. You the reader, must bear in mind also,
|
||
that this was perhaps the most trying time that I had ever had in my
|
||
entire life. I had just lost a family that I loved and care for very<72>much, and there wasn't a thing that I could do that would make it
|
||
different, no matter how much I wanted it or tried. In short, I was on
|
||
the verge of suicide.
|
||
While working the campus shift for the security company, I noticed
|
||
an announcement on the bulletin board announcing the speech of one
|
||
Stanton Friedman, eminent scientist and UFO Investigator. The speech
|
||
was set to take place at the college that night and I decided that I
|
||
would attend as it was free at the student union. During the course of
|
||
Stan's speech he imparted a great deal of information about science and
|
||
the study of UFO's, but for some reason none of it seem to be of any
|
||
great consequence. The information was based in part on investigations
|
||
that many well meaning and hard working people had been able to gather.
|
||
Most notable were the efforts of Jim and Coral Lorenzen, the founders
|
||
of the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization. The only problem with
|
||
it was the fact that it wasn't all of the information. During the
|
||
course of Stan's speech he made mention of the fact that Blue Book
|
||
Report #13 had never been published and that the government had said
|
||
that it jumped from thirteen to fourteen due to the unlucky significance
|
||
of the number thirteen. Hogwash!!!!
|
||
I knew that this was hogwash and after Stan finished his talk I
|
||
approached him and told him that it was. He asked me point blank how
|
||
I knew it was hogwash, and I told him that I viewed A report entitled
|
||
Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, that went far beyond their wildest dreams
|
||
with regard to admitting the existence of UFO's. Within a matter of
|
||
minutes I was whisked away by Stan, Allen Benz, and Jim Lorenzen to the
|
||
APRO Offices that were then located on North Country Club in Tucson,
|
||
where I spent several hours relating my experience and detailing
|
||
everything that I could remember about the report, which was quit a bit.
|
||
It took several months for the final outcome of that conversation to
|
||
finally come out, but at the time Jim Lorenzen thought that I was
|
||
nuttier than a fruitcake. Which I suppose under the circumstances was
|
||
understandable.
|
||
During the interim, I was allowed access to the files at the APRO
|
||
offices where I began to learn and understand more than I had before
|
||
all of this had started. One of the things that I discovered through
|
||
my research was that over the years there was a pattern of government
|
||
cover-up that far outreached anything that anyone was aware of at the
|
||
time I began my research. In fact it has only been during the past ten
|
||
or so years that people have come to realize that this is the case.
|
||
Another thing that I discovered was the fact that the information I had
|
||
concerning Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 was information that some one
|
||
wanted to keep quiet. So much so in fact, they were willing to kill,
|
||
or at least put on the show of trying.
|
||
The first attempt took place in Tucson, Arizona. I was driving
|
||
from Tucson to Sierra Vista, where my father had his Real Estate Office
|
||
located at. I was in the process of starting a small custom leather
|
||
shop at the time and had decided to go down to discuss with my father
|
||
some problems that I had been having with funding. As I was driving
|
||
down I-10 toward Sierra Vista it was a pleasant day, at least for riding
|
||
a motorcycle. The road didn't have to much traffic and there were
|
||
several stretches where I was the only vehicle on the road.
|
||
It was during one of these intervals that a black, 1978 Lincoln
|
||
Continental came onto the road behind me and began to pace me as I drove
|
||
along. As I traveled I kept seeing this car in my rear-view mirror.
|
||
At first I didn't think a great deal of it, but as time went on I<>noticed that it never seemed to go faster or slower than I did, always
|
||
keeping the same distance. Between Tucson and the turn off to Hachuca
|
||
City the limo made it's move and I happened to catch it in my mirror as
|
||
it suddenly speeded up as it came toward me. I moved to the side of the
|
||
road and began to hug the shoulder as closely as I was able to and in
|
||
the process slowing down in order to let it pass me by. Instead of
|
||
moving toward the left to pass it came over into the should where I was
|
||
at. Seeing this and getting a bad feeling in my stomach I gun the motor
|
||
on my bike and cut suddenly left, just barely getting out of it's way
|
||
as it came past me and over the spot I had just vacated. I knew then
|
||
that this wasn't and accident. Just after the car pasted me by the
|
||
driver slammed on it's brakes and spun around in order to make another
|
||
pass at me. For a few moments it seemed like I was in the middle of a
|
||
game of roller ball and I was the ball. Avoiding the vehicle again I
|
||
then cut across into the desert as fast as I could go. The Lincoln
|
||
tried to follow but as it came onto the desert floor it appeared to get
|
||
stuck in the loose dirt and stopped. I continued on my way through the
|
||
desert in the general direction toward Sierra Vista and eventually made
|
||
my way to my father's office.
|
||
When I arrived at my father's, I told him what had taken place.
|
||
He pooh, poohed and told me that it was my imagination, but never the
|
||
less followed me in his car back to Tucson. This was the first attempt
|
||
upon my life.
|
||
Within a matter of weeks another attempt took place. By this time
|
||
I had gotten my business operating and did a lot of work out of my
|
||
apartment. I had gotten into a pattern by this time and was usually in
|
||
bed around ten o'clock at night. This night however I had been invited
|
||
to spend the night at a friends whom I had been helping to rebuild a
|
||
saddle. It came at the spur of the moment and I had not made any plans
|
||
for it to happen prior. This particular night I just happen to be at
|
||
the store when he came over and asked me to come by and have dinner in
|
||
exchange for the work that I had helped him with on the saddle, and then
|
||
stay for an evening of movies and HBO. Normally I would have been at
|
||
home that particular night. The next morning upon my return to my
|
||
apartment I found that it had been burned completely. The fire
|
||
department informed me that it had been arson. It would seem that some
|
||
one tossed a fire bomb into my front window possibly thinking that I
|
||
would be there. I lost everything that I had in the apartment to
|
||
include a pet hamster that I had grown quite attached to.
|
||
Over the years there have been approximately fifteen attempts on
|
||
my life. Several of these were reported to the local police department,
|
||
several have not. In all cases the police department have not
|
||
investigated once they find out that I am an investigator of UFO
|
||
phenomenon. You figure it out.
|
||
In the early part of 1980 I was surprised to receive a phone call
|
||
from Robert Black, the Air Force Colonel who in 1977 sent me packing on
|
||
my way from RAF Chicksands. Black told me that he had been
|
||
involuntarily retired from the Air Force and believed that it was due
|
||
in part to the document that I had viewed while working for Security
|
||
Services Command at RAF Chicksands. I was more or less cool toward
|
||
Black but agreed to meet with him at my store in Trail Dust Town in
|
||
Tucson. When we met I asked him several questions concerning my family
|
||
and discovered what had happened after my departure. Apparently my wife
|
||
had been told that I deserted them and that I upped and quit my job
|
||
without notice and then caught a MAC flight out to the states. My wife<66>was faced with several difficult decisions, among them was how to handle
|
||
the up bringing of two children. According to Black she finished out
|
||
the school year at RAF Chicksands and then requested and received a
|
||
transfer to a different school system within the Department of Defence
|
||
Schools in Great Britain. He went on to say that he had no idea as to
|
||
what happened when I tried to contact them, saying that he was told
|
||
after I left, that it was out of his hands.
|
||
Black went on to say that he had come across some information that
|
||
indicated a flying saucer or space vehicle of some type had crashed at
|
||
the White Sands Missile Range, and that because of it's size they were
|
||
unable to move it so instead buried it where it lay. He wanted to know
|
||
if I was interested in coming with him to find it. I asked him why me,
|
||
and he said because I had read the document and knew what it was we were
|
||
looking for. He went on to say also that he was putting every bit of
|
||
money that he had into outfitting a special vehicle that would carry
|
||
research equipment and supplies, but that he didn't have enough. By
|
||
this time I was thoroughly hooked on the idea and made an agreement with
|
||
him to sell my business and then put most of the money that I made into
|
||
the vehicle also. Which is what I did.
|
||
In the meantime I contacted Wendelle Stevens and told him of what
|
||
we were planning and invited him along. He was in the middle of
|
||
investigating the Billy Miers case in Switzerland and declined. His
|
||
decision to not participate is most likely what saved his life.
|
||
I met with Black in Belen, New Mexico during the first week of June
|
||
in 1980. Along with Black was his former operations sergeant at RAF
|
||
Chicksands, who's name escapes me at present. Black explained that the
|
||
Sergeant had been involuntarily retired from the service also and that
|
||
he was as interested in finding the answers as we were. I went along
|
||
with thinking that if nothing else it would be a hell of a camping trip.
|
||
We proceeded northward from Belen, going toward Santa Fe and
|
||
Albuquerque, and then crossed over easterly toward the "Trinity Test
|
||
Site" where the first Atomic Bomb was tested. Stopping along the way
|
||
to make brief incursions into the test range in order to setup the
|
||
equipment and run it for short periods of time. From the Trinity Test
|
||
Site we then proceeded southerly to Alamogordo and the over past
|
||
Holloman Air Force Base, where we once again entered the test range.
|
||
This time through the White Sands National Monument. In those days they
|
||
didn't close the monument to the public at night and you could go in 24
|
||
hours a day and even camp over night there. Once in the monument we
|
||
then proceeded to the northern most boundary of the park and entered the
|
||
range once again. This time we planned on going as far as we could
|
||
until either came across something or we were forced to turn back in
|
||
order to be off the range during the day and camp over night in the
|
||
park.
|
||
I was walking about 500 to a 1000 meters in front of the Van with
|
||
a metal detector, trying to see if there was anything buried under the
|
||
sand. It was just after sun down and the van had it's lights on in
|
||
order to allow me enough light to see where I was going. As I was
|
||
walking I heard a sound that made my skin crawl. The sound of an in-
|
||
coming rocket is something a veteran of the Vietnam era never forgets.
|
||
. . especially after having been caught in several fire fights where
|
||
they came in on your positions. I instinctively recognized the sound
|
||
and screamed a warning. The warning was to late. The next thing I
|
||
knew, the van was nothings more than smoke and debris and Black and Horn
|
||
were no longer there.
|
||
If nothing else, I have never laid claim to being a hero, and I am<61>certainly not John Rambo, willing to take on the entire Russian Army for
|
||
friendship and glory. I am pleased to say that experience and common
|
||
sense have taught me better than that. I would venture a guess and say
|
||
that had I stuck around rather than make like a rabbit and take off, I
|
||
would most likely not be here to relate this story to you. That is in
|
||
fact exactly what I did. It took me only a matter of seconds to
|
||
determine that it was both unwise and unhealthy to stick around to try
|
||
and help what amounted to nothing more than hamburger, and I was off
|
||
like a shot (excuse the pun). I had on my webb belt and a canteen fun
|
||
of water and my survival knife, so I had essentially everything that I
|
||
needed to survive in the desert. I traveled North Westerly through the
|
||
desert at night for about two days before I came to a major road and was
|
||
able to thumb a ride into Tucson from New Mexico.
|
||
When I arrived in Tucson it was in the early morning hours and I
|
||
made my way to Wendelle Stevens home where I woke him up by knocking on
|
||
his bedroom window. Being the good egg that he is, he let me into his
|
||
home and gave me some food, the use of his shower and a shirt (the pants
|
||
were to small). After I had refreshed myself I related to him
|
||
everything that taken place during the past several days while he
|
||
recorded it with his recorder and took notes. I have since learned that
|
||
the original tapes have disappeared. After several hours of talking
|
||
with Wendelle I pretty much told him everything that I could and he was
|
||
kind enough to give me a ride home from his place.
|
||
As we approached the apartment where I was then living with a lady
|
||
friend, I spotted a large black car parked in front of the building.
|
||
I asked Wendelle to drive around the corner from the apartment and drop
|
||
me off. Making my way back to the apartment I let myself in the back
|
||
door and then quietly looked out the front of the window to see somebody
|
||
sitting inside the vehicle smoking a cigarette. They (whoever they
|
||
were) were watching for me. It was time to leave and go into hiding.
|
||
|
||
|
||

CHAPTER FOUR
|
||
I GO ON THE LAM
|
||
|
||
I spent the next several days in the apartment making plans for my
|
||
disappearance. The first thing that I did was break up with my girl
|
||
friend, which I wasn't happy about doing, but I remembered what happened
|
||
with my wife and felt that for her own protection it would be best. I
|
||
then took what few processions I had accumulated and sold them to a
|
||
local thrift store and then moved to a small trailer on the west side
|
||
of town. I stayed there for about a month and then packed my backpack
|
||
and caught a bus to Phoenix, Arizona, where I made sure that I was<61>arrested in the bus station by a Phoenix police officer on an old
|
||
traffic ticket. When I arrived at the holding cell at the Phoenix
|
||
police department I called my sister and had her drive to Phoenix to
|
||
pick me up and pay the fines with money that I had left with her for
|
||
this purpose. She then drove me back to Tucson where I spent the night
|
||
at her home.
|
||
The following morning I said my goodbyes and struck out to the edge
|
||
of town and across the desert, traveling toward San Diego by night. It
|
||
took me about a week to get there and once there I headed toward Los
|
||
Angeles via the Coastal Highway. I arrived in L.A. almost three weeks
|
||
after leaving Tucson.
|
||
When I got to Los Angeles I spent my first night in town in a
|
||
shelter for the homeless. This in itself was an experience that one
|
||
could write several books about. Upon my arrival at the shelter it
|
||
became a slow and tedious process of hurry up and wait. In order to
|
||
get a meal you had to wait for several hours in the waiting room until
|
||
they past out tickets for you to eat. Then you had to wait several more
|
||
hours before they opened the dinning room for you to enter. Once you
|
||
entered the dining room and went through the line to eat the simple meal
|
||
(it wasn't mom's home cooking, but if you were hungry, it was good) you
|
||
then went back out into the waiting room and waited for them to pass out
|
||
more tickets for you to get a place to sleep for the night. The waiting
|
||
was a pain, but I soon found by watching others that if you did wait you
|
||
didn't eat and you did get a place to sleep for the night. By this time
|
||
I was feeling fairly depressed and wasn't about to sleep outside another
|
||
night. I needed a shower, which, as it turned out, was obligatory,
|
||
along with a free louse inspection and spraying if it was found that you
|
||
were carrying uninvited guest, and I needed time to think out my next
|
||
move.
|
||
It always seems that during the hardest times in my life I always
|
||
turn to God. Not because I am overly zealous as a believer, but more
|
||
because I do seem to get a certain amount of comfort from him during
|
||
the most difficult times of my life, and sometimes I even get
|
||
inspiration. I cannot and will not say whether or not it comes from
|
||
God, but when I need it the most the help seems to appear only after I
|
||
have done some serious praying. Such was the case this time. As I lay
|
||
there praying quietly to myself, a rather forlorn and skinny looking
|
||
fellow in the bed next to me looked over and said, "if you need a place
|
||
to stay and hid for a while, why don't you go check out the Hudson
|
||
House".
|
||
It never occurred to me at the time, that this might have been a
|
||
message from the man upstairs, but it certainly was an answer to my
|
||
prayers. I thanked the fellow and went to sleep feeling much better
|
||
about the events of the past several weeks.
|
||
The next morning I woke up and went down to the free breakfast that
|
||
they gave to all of the overnighters as we were called and then packed
|
||
my kit and found a pay phone. I called the office of Social Services in
|
||
L.A. and inquired about the HUdson House, and obtained the phone number.
|
||
I then called and was told that there was one opening at House number
|
||
one and given direction to the place.
|
||
|
||
I had just enough money to take a L.A. Bus to the location of house
|
||
number one which to my delight was just one block down from Grauman's
|
||
Chinese Theater and the heart of Hollywood. The house was located on
|
||
Franklin Avenue.<2E> When I arrived I was met at the door by a fellow who I shall refer
|
||
to as Robert. The reason I am changing this young man's name will
|
||
become obvious in a moment. When I came into the house I was escorted
|
||
to the dinning room area and invited to sit down and fill out the
|
||
necessary forms, which seemed fairly standard in a situation like this.
|
||
The rules of Hudson House were explained to me. For the first two weeks
|
||
there I was obligated to travel out with several other members of the
|
||
house to solicit donations from the outlying communities for the
|
||
American Missions Association, which sponsored the operations of the
|
||
Hudson Houses. At the end of the two week period I would then be
|
||
allowed time to go out and find a job in the local community and I would
|
||
agree to pay the Hudson House operation $200.00 per week for room and
|
||
board. Under the circumstances this seemed fairly reasonable to me and
|
||
as I filled out the paperwork I thought that perhaps this would be the
|
||
ideal situation for a while, then I would move on again once I was able
|
||
to establish myself a little bit of a nest egg. What came next was more
|
||
than just a little bit of a surprise.
|
||
As I sat there filling out the paperwork I came across a form that
|
||
at first seemed innocuous until I looked at the bottom of it. Printed
|
||
there were the letters G, B, S, and the instructions to circle one. Not
|
||
understanding what it meant I asked Bob and he told me that it meant
|
||
Gay, Bi-sexual, or Straight. I didn't think anything more of it at that
|
||
moment thinking that it was California and the people that lived there
|
||
were a bit different to begin with so I circled S since I was neither
|
||
of the first two (here comes the kicker gang). When I circled the S Bob
|
||
got a funny look on his face and started to hem and hah a little bit.
|
||
Finally he looked at me and said that there was a problem. "Oh?", says
|
||
I. "What kind of a problem is that?" Hudson House is a halfway house
|
||
for Gays . . .. "OOOOK!" I think to myself.
|
||
I must have turned white or something, because Bob tried to be as
|
||
nice as he could, and you have to bear in mind that all of this took
|
||
place within a matter of milliseconds. Thinking fast, I looked him dead
|
||
in the eye and said, "I don't have a problem with that if you don't".
|
||
After several minutes of discussion with Bob, I assured him that
|
||
I had nothing against Gays and would respect them and their lifestyle
|
||
if they accorded me the same respect. Besides, I told him, I needed a
|
||
place to live and more or less get my collective shit together and
|
||
currently this was the best offer in town. After making a few phone
|
||
calls to the administrators of the operation he agreed to give it a try
|
||
for a while to see how things went. I could write a book about the
|
||
following three months. It was an experience that I shall never forget,
|
||
and believe it or not, one that I shall remember with a certain amount
|
||
of fondness. I learned a great deal, and many of those lessons have
|
||
helped me considerably since then. I will say this, however. There is
|
||
nothing stranger than to have a gay in love with another gay come to you
|
||
and ask advice about what he, or for that matter, she, should do to win
|
||
over the other. By the time I left, they were referring to me as "Papa
|
||
Bear", the "Ann Landers" of the Gay World (What a distinction!).
|
||
I lived at the Hudson House in L.A. for about three months, during
|
||
which time I did my two weeks of service and was then allowed to go out
|
||
and seek employment. Using the services provided by the organization,
|
||
I found a job working at a restaurant that was owned, operated, and
|
||
frequented by gays in the local community, as a fry cook at $5.00 and
|
||
hour. It wasn't the greatest paying job in the world, but it allowed
|
||
me the opportunity to support myself and at the same time save enough<67>money to begin phase two of my now established plan. I must admit that
|
||
being more or less an observer of life, I enjoyed the real life drama
|
||
that was taking place around me. One of these days, if I ever get to
|
||
the point where I can stop being a UFO Investigator, I might sit down
|
||
and write several books about the incidents. In many respects, I doubt
|
||
seriously that you could go through much of that without splitting your
|
||
sides in laughter.
|
||
At the end of three months I had managed to save enough money to
|
||
begin phase two, which was to leave California without notice and head
|
||
eastward to the farm my mother had bought several years previously in
|
||
Virginia, and where she had recently moved when she and my step father
|
||
had retired. During the second week in November, just after I got my
|
||
pay check from the restaurant, I informed the managers that I was
|
||
quitting without notice. I then went back to the Hudson House and
|
||
packed my bags telling everyone that I had to return to Arizona for an
|
||
emergency in the family and walked to the bus station where I then
|
||
caught a bus for Virginia.
|
||
During the next eight years I spent a fairly quiet life. The first
|
||
year I lived on my mother's farm, working and helping her and my dad to
|
||
remodel the farmhouse. During this period my step-father was forced to
|
||
return to work in Saudi Arabia as a construction engineer on a project
|
||
there. I personally think it was because my mother was turning him into
|
||
a lunatic, but in any case I spent most of the year alone with what at
|
||
the time appeared to be the mad woman of chalet (or something like
|
||
that). In any case she made me slightly crazy. After about a year, she
|
||
and I more or less got tired of each other, and one day I told her that
|
||
I didn't think that I would make a very good farmer. Her reply to that
|
||
was, "Ok. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out". I left
|
||
that day and moved into Lynchburg, Virginia, which was the closest town
|
||
to the farm, and as it happened was the home of Liberty University and
|
||
Gerry Falwell. Whom I later came to victimize on a fairly regular basis
|
||
when I went into late night radio.
|
||
During the next several years I quietly disassociated myself from
|
||
UFO's and research into that field, eventually divorcing my wife and
|
||
remarrying a second time. The marriage lasted about three months and
|
||
ended rather nastily when she awoke one morning to inform me that she
|
||
was pregnant and she didn't want to be, and that I was a royal pain in
|
||
the ass, and that she didn't want to be married anymore. Not a real
|
||
confidence booster. Especially in light of the fact that we had dated
|
||
each other for the better part of a year and a half before I asked her
|
||
to marry me, and we discussed the fact that I couldn't handle a second
|
||
loss of this nature. Oh well . . . so much for promises and love.
|
||
Needless to say I more or less fell apart at the seams for a while and
|
||
went on a six month toot that would have made W.C. Fields proud.
|
||
Eventually however, I did get my shit back together again. By this time
|
||
I was working at a radio station in Crewe, Virginia and writing articles
|
||
for the local weekly newspaper. She had the baby and tried to hit me
|
||
for child support, and circumstances being what they were I am probably
|
||
one of the few men in this country to be crazy enough to stand in front
|
||
of a judge and tell him that he'd see me pay "that woman" $200.00 a
|
||
month in child support, when he saw christ walk on earth for a second
|
||
time, and get away with it.
|
||
During the two years that I lived in Crewe, things were more
|
||
or less quiet with the exception of one incident. The house that I
|
||
lived in was just two blocks away from the local police department. The<68>town used to be a railroad terminal station, but when the railroad cut
|
||
back it more or less died on it's feet and there were only about nine
|
||
hundred people living there and the town employed only two cops. Both
|
||
of which reminded me slightly of Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle. I never
|
||
realized that there really were those kind of people in the world.
|
||
I was at home that night watching the television and had gotten up
|
||
to get a soft drink from the kitchen. By this time I had sworn off
|
||
alcohol of any kind, having learned a valuable lesson during my divorce
|
||
from my second wife. When I came back into the living-room I tripped
|
||
over my shoe laces of all things, and fell face forward onto the floor.
|
||
As I fell, some one started firing automatic weapons fire into the front
|
||
of the house.
|
||
The gun fire went on for watch seemed to be an eternity, but in
|
||
reality was only a few minutes, but later estimates by the local
|
||
sheriff's department and state police stated that at least several
|
||
thousands of rounds were emptied into the front of the house. Due to
|
||
the construction of the house, a concrete foundation wall about three
|
||
feet high is what apparently saved my life. At first the law
|
||
enforcement agencies thought that it might be something that my ex-
|
||
father in-law decided to do since I was not budging on inch on the child
|
||
support thing, and he had the reputation of being slightly radical when
|
||
it came to his daughters. They weren't able to prove anything though
|
||
and the investigation more or less was dropped. In the meantime I
|
||
decided it was a more healthy idea to find different lodgings and
|
||
quietly disappear again.
|
||
This time I moved to Blackstone, Virginia where I went to work for
|
||
a gentleman by the name of George Walker, who owned a cattle farm and
|
||
raised Angus Cattle. I worked for George for several months until I
|
||
stepped down from a tractor one day and ruptured the ligaments in my
|
||
right knee and had to have surgery. It took me several months to
|
||
recover from that, and of course George's insurance paid for everything,
|
||
so I had an extended vacation whether I wanted it or not. During this
|
||
time I recovered and did a little writing for the local paper.
|
||
It was at this time my mother contacted me and told that she had
|
||
gone to a farm auction to buy a pig and fatten it up for the home farm's
|
||
freezer. The wind was apparently blowing, she heard pig, 20, and
|
||
assumed that she was bidding on a pig for twenty dollars. She raised
|
||
her hand to bid and found out latter that she bought the pig farm for
|
||
$20,000.00. Would I be interested in coming out and helping her and dad
|
||
get it in operation??
|
||
After laughing hysterically and falling out of my chair, I informed
|
||
her that she would see me working on a pig farm when pigs grew wings.
|
||
She kept after me for about three months until finally I gave in. She
|
||
got me with the bit about having to go into the hospital for surgery and
|
||
how she was going to need help. Take a bit of advice guys. Watch out
|
||
for that one. I found myself shoveling pig shit for six months by hand.
|
||
The only good thing that came out of that was I met my third and present
|
||
wife, and had the clearest sinuses I've had in thirty-eight years
|
||
Phewww!
|
||
I met my third wife Valerie and her children, when I went to find
|
||
a part time job at the local radio station in Brookneal, Virginia. This
|
||
one was more or less a whirlwind courtship. Neither of us was really
|
||
interested in getting married, and found ourselves living together more
|
||
for economy than anything else. Valerie had conned me into starting to
|
||
go to church with her and after several months it came time for what the<68>Baptist church referred to as revival. Somehow or other Valerie and I
|
||
were volunteered to invite the visiting minister and his wife and our
|
||
minister and his wife for dinner. Some how or other we found ourselves
|
||
walking down the aisle the morning of the dinner. I still think that
|
||
I was had, but in the end it was the best thing that happened to me.
|
||
During the past three years Valerie has been supportive of my work and
|
||
has stood by me all the way. That doesn't mean there haven't been a few
|
||
interesting moments, but all in all it hasn't been bad at all.
|
||
Shortly after our marriage I went to work at a radio station in
|
||
Lynchburg called WLVA, which had the distinction of being one of the
|
||
oldest radio stations in the country. Having once again told my mother
|
||
that I was not a farmer and my nose couldn't take anymore, I went to
|
||
work for WLVA and was able to win several awards for my production work
|
||
and my nightly radio talk show. I might add that one of my favorite
|
||
things to do was to take pot shots at Gerry Falwell, who may be greatly
|
||
loved by the masses outside of Virginia, but who in reality gave the
|
||
term hemorrhoid a new meaning, and is not thought to highly of in
|
||
Lynchburg.
|
||
It was during my tenure at WLVA I began to receive rather cryptic
|
||
messages from my father in the mail telling me that some "Asshole" (not
|
||
my words) was pestering the shit out him and his secretaries, and that
|
||
I had "damned well better do something about it!"

CHAPTER FIVE
|
||
JOHN LEAR
|
||
|
||
As it turned out the "Asshole" was John Lear, and he wasn't really
|
||
an asshole at all. Unfortunately, my father misinterpreted John's
|
||
persistence and desires to get in contact with me, and didn't really
|
||
give him a chance. And to be perfectly honest, I, at the time wasn't
|
||
really interested in contacting John because I had finally reached a
|
||
point in my life where everything in my life was going well, and I was
|
||
happy.
|
||
During the course of the next several months I received several
|
||
more terse messages from my father but did nothing about them. Then one
|
||
night while working at the radio station I happened to see a story on
|
||
the Associate Press Wire Service concerning Walt Andrus, Founder and
|

Director of MUFON. The story seemed to be extremely out of character
|
||
for Walt from what little I knew of him, and it was of such a nature
|
||
that I could no longer ignore the possibility of coming back into the
|
||
investigative field of UFOlogy. After giving it a great deal of thought
|
||
I contacted Wendelle Stevens at his home in Arizona. Needless to say,
|
||
Wendelle damned near had a heart attack when he heard my voice on the
|
||
phone. Playing catch up for thirty or so seconds and finding out that
|
||
I had a prominent part in a recent book published by Bill Steinman and
|
||
himself, I agreed to read the book and asked him not to let anyone know
|
||
that I was alive and well contrary to the belief that I had been killed,
|
||
until I had a chance to think things through. He agreed and sent a copy
|
||
of the Book "UFO Crash at Aztec" for me to read.
|
||
Within the next few days the book arrived and I sat down to read
|
||
it carefully. As I read it, it became apparent to me that other
|
||
evidence had come to light that substantiate everything that I had been
|
||
saying all along for the past twelve or so years. It was then that I
|
||
made the decision to contact John Lear.
|
||
When I called the number that had been forwarded to me by my
|
||
father, I represented myself as Bill English's lawyer, saying that he
|
||
was overseas and had asked me to contact him and find out what he
|
||
wanted. John was very pleasant on the phone and explained that he want
|
||
to talk to "Bill" about his viewing of "Blue Book Report #13. I then<65>asked what he wanted to know and he explained that he was investigating
|
||
the claims and needed more information concerning them. I told him that
|
||
I would pass the message on and let Mr. English know.
|
||
I then waited several more days before contacting John. This time
|
||
as myself. We talked and he asked if he could meet me in Virginia to
|
||
talk with me. the rest you already know from Chapter one of this
|
||
document.
|
||
Very shortly after John's visit, WLVA began to experience severe
|
||
financial difficulties and there were forced to release much of the
|
||
production and air staff, so I lost my job. It was at this point that
|
||
my wife and I decided that it was now necessary for my to once again
|
||
become active in the investigative fields. We had the money and
|
||
opportunity to move so we came to Alamogordo, New Mexico for a number
|
||
of reason. The first being, oddly enough, that I was born here. The
|
||
second reason was because it was the last place I visited while actively
|
||
investigating before my disappearance. I had unfinished business here.
|
||
Since our return here I have been quietly investigating the Black
|
||
and Horn incident, trying to gain evidence to verify what took place
|
||
that night on the Missile Range. So far without much luck, but in the
|
||
meantime I, and my associate Dick Shefler have founded UFINET, UFO News
|
||
and Information Service which is devoted to cooperation with other
|
||
Investigative Organizations and Investigators. Admittedly, there are
|
||
a certain few that are giving me an ulcer because of the crud that is
|
||
being said about myself and some of the material that is going out, but
|
||
all in all we have met with a great deal of success.
|
||
CLOSING
|
||
|
||
Here is the story . . . make what you will of it, and form your
|
||
own opinions, but certainly don't believe everything that you've read.
|
||
As I have said before, the material I viewed in the Grudge/Blue Book
|
||
Report #13, could have been false information designed to mislead those
|
||
of you trying to get at the truth. However, based on the other
|
||
information that has come to light over the past ten years, I doubt it.
|
||
I present the story of what I saw with this possibility in mind and
|
||
relate only what I had happen to me.
|
||
Since 1977 there have been a total of what appeared to be fifteen
|
||
attempts against my life. Like many of you I find it difficult to
|
||
believe that if the government wanted me dead they would have failed in
|
||
their efforts. Which leaves open several possibilities. The first and
|
||
most unlikely being that they are complete incompetents, and the second
|
||
being that the attempts are an effort to motivate me into certain
|
||
directions. As it is I am making an effort to let the public know that
|
||
whatever is going on, it is happening and that we need more evidence and
|
||
information before we even know what questions to ask in order to obtain
|
||
the answers that we as investigators so desperately need.
|
||
Form your own opinions about this report I have written, but
|
||
whatever you do, stay open to the possibilities and examine the world
|
||
around you carefully before you become locked into a narrow minded view
|
||
of the world around you.
