PART 1

|
|
|
|
All,
|
|
|
|
As section leader of a UFO area on CompuServe, when we read the K2 report
|
|
from the Phoenix project we did not quite know how to take it. Was this
|
|
another attempt at disinformation, a way to make a few bucks by getting you
|
|
to buy their printed paper, or was it for real. So we decided to find out.
|
|
|
|
A member of my section, UFOlogy/Contacts, over this 4th of July holiday
|
|
weekend decided to check things out. What he found you may find interesting.
|
|
This was in no way a complete check of the Phoenix groups claims, but
|
|
interesting nonetheless. We are planning further expeditions to the K2 area
|
|
in the near future and I will keep all advised as to what we find, since it is
|
|
of importance to us all.
|
|
|
|
I would like to take this oppurtonity to thank Jason for taking time from
|
|
his holiday weekend to investigate this information. I am sure
|
|
that this is going to be just the beggining of a very long and tedious
|
|
journey to discover the truth about this report.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions of comments about this report, please forward them
|
|
to me.
|

David,
|
|
|
|
Well, I made it back from Pilot Mountain! What a beautiful area. It is
|
|
remote and would be a good spot to try and conceal something but I saw no
|
|
evidence to support the claims of the Phoenix report. Keep in mind that I was
|
|
there for only a short time (1 1/2 days) and I did not have the actual K2
|
|
report with maps and descriptions of where EXACTLY the LZs, base, and
|
|
entrances were suppose to be. When I do get the report I will more than
|
|
likely make another trip out there just to satisfy my curiousity and keep this
|
|
thing from growing into something it probably isn't.
|
|
|
|
I arrived in Quincy on Saturday at about 5:30am. I then proceeded into the
|
|
Plumas Nat'l Forest via the Quincy-La Porte Road. For the next five hours I
|
|
just drove around the dirt roads checking things out. There is road
|
|
construction in progress complete with earth movers, bulldozers, graters, and
|
|
dump trucks. It was a holiday so no constuction was going ons. The existing
|
|
dirt roads were eroded, and narrow in places so, IMHO, the construction was
|
|
not suspect. This area skirts the Feather River and some of its off-shoots
|
|
which is popular amoung trout fisherman. That may be one reason the roads are
|
|
being repaired. Also, it appeared that logging was prevelant in the area.
|
|
Since so much logging in various areas thoughout CA has been restricted I can
|
|
see logging interests putting in $$ to access areas where they are allowed to
|
|
harvest, which is what I think is happening.
|
|
|
|
The roads are poorly marked and thus confusing to get around on. I looked for
|
|
most of that morning around the Pilot Peak area for the access road leading up
|
|
to the lookout station but could not find it. It is probably a four wheel
|
|
drive type road and thus not evident to the passer by, which I'm sure I did
|
|
several times. The tower placement on top of the mtn. is perfect. It's up
|
|
above everything and looks to offer a good view. I decided to hike up there.
|
|
|
|
The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the area and skirts along the side of
|
|
Pilot Peak. The trail head is well marked at PP's base so I took it. The
|
|
trail was easy to follow and I took it up to the ridge where I cut off to get
|
|
to the lookout station. The last few hundred yards were VERY steep and strewn
|
|
with loose flagstone and gravel. On my approach I could hear voices (kids)
|
|
and then see some young people in the tower. They had left by the time I got
|
|
to the tower. It took three hours to get there and the view alone was worth
|
|
it. The station is abandoned and from markings in the cement appears to have
|
|
been constucted in 1976. It is very well built and offers an EXCELLENT view,
|
|
360 degrees, of the surrounding area. I can't imagine a better way to watch
|
|
the area then in that tower. Once up there I could see a dirt road coming up
|
|
the mtn and stopping about 100 yards down slope. The last part up to the
|
|
tower is 'feet only.' I seriously considered going down the road to find
|
|
where it cuts off from the main road below but daylight was running out. I
|
|
poked around a bit more, took some pictures and headed back down to the trail
|
|
I had come up on.
|
|
|
|
When I got back I ate and by then it was dark so I drove out to a vista point
|
|
and watched the area for whatever. During the night I drove to different
|
|
points of view...and saw nothing unusual. The next morning I slept a bit then
|
|
hiked around PP area a bit more.
|
|
|
|
From my cursory examination of the area I could not support the fantastic
|
|
claims made by The Phoenix Group. However, I did not have a magnetometer,
|
|
geiger counter, or any other sofisticated equipment. All I could do was
|
|
observe the area through an average persons eyes. I did that and saw nothing
|
|
except a beautifully remote area.
|
|
|
|
The one odd thing I did see was at the Ranger Station in Quincy. As I entered
|
|
the parking lot there's a sign showing visitors where to park, employees
|
|
parking, and one that reads "F.S. Heliport NASA." I drove over to the
|
|
entrance to the "heliport" which had an open gate and a sign that read--"No
|
|
Trespassing $500 and/or 6 months Air Operations Restricted Area." I could
|
|
not see beyond the gate because of the forest and slope of the hill. I wasn't
|
|
sure if they enforced this notice but didn't want to find out right then. Why
|
|
would NASA have a heliport way out there? That I don't know and couldn't find
|
|
anyone to ask.
|
|
|
|
I've been too long winded already...I will get the K2 Report, find specific
|
|
locations to search and look things over again. Any suggestions that would
|
|
enhance my efforts would be appreciated.
|
|
