OTHERS DESCRIBE STRANGE, SILENT OBJECT IN THE SKY
|
||
|
||
by West Platt

|
||
St. Petersburg Times, April 21, 1993
|
||
|
||
BAYPORT - Ron Chancey, a Hernando County sheriff's deputy, may not know
|
||
exactly what he saw on patrol Friday night, but he insists he saw something.
|
||
|
||
A boomerang-shaped something with a wingspan of at least 200 feet.
|
||
|
||
Something that hovered in the starry sky along Hernando's coast. That could
|
||
go from still to warp whatever in the time it takes to snap your fingers.
|
||
|
||
Chancey found six Hernando residents who said they saw the same thing over the
|
||
coastal communities of Pine Island and Bayport. And on Tuesday, three more
|
||
sightings of the mysterious thing were reported to the Times.
|
||
|
||
Chancey, assigned to patrol Pine Island after last month's devastating storm,
|
||
said it was about 9:20 p.m. as he cruised slowly along Pine Island Drive with
|
||
his window down and left arm on the door.
|
||
|
||
"It was like a huge something or other," Chancey said. "The first thing I
|
||
thought of was the Crystal River nuclear plant. I don't know why, really. And
|
||
then I thought of that movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with that
|
||
big whatever-it-was that played the music. But this thing was real quiet. I
|
||
would guess it was 200 or 300 feet long."
|
||
|
||
Chancey said he stopped his cruiser and shined a spotlight at the thing. He
|
||
saw no markings or numbers. No cockpit. He made out a vague, dark outline
|
||
that appeared to be shaped like a boomerang.
|
||
|
||
After watching for a couple of minutes, Chancey drove on toward the park in
|
||
Bayport. As he accelerated, he said, the object accelerated. The deputy
|
||
shined the light at it again and it cut west toward the Gulf of Mexico.
|
||
|
||
He met with six people at the park in Bayport who told him they had also seen
|
||
the object. Baffled, he said he could only come to one conclusion.
|
||
|
||
"Based on what I know now, no, I don't think it's from this planet," Chancey
|
||
said. "Nothing one earth could hover and haul ass like that."
|
||
|
||
Garth and Sandra Curtis of Brooksville were in Tarpon Springs at 9:30 p.m.
|
||
Friday when, they said, they saw the unidentified flying object.
|
||
|
||
"We sat a and watched it a good five minutes," Garth Curtis said. "It was
|
||
moving slowly to the west. I don't know what to believe. I've never seen
|
||
anything like it."
|
||
|
||
Mary McCracken of New Port Richey said she saw the same object the night
|
||
before the Bayport sighting. It was Thursday night. L. A. Law was on. The
|
||
latest storm front was drenching Pasco County.
|
||
|
||
"Through my bedroom window, over in he southeast, I saw a bunch of real bright
|
||
lights not too far over the treetops, moving real slow," she said. "I kept
|
||
watching it. It was really big. I opened the window all the way, even with
|
||
the rain, and listened. It didn't make a sound."
|
||
|
||
McCracken said as the object passed near her house a street light winked off.
|
||
When it was gone, the light glowed again.
|
||
|
||
"I couldn't believe it not making a sound and going so slow like that," she
|
||
said. "It makes me feel better that somebody else saw it and it was somebody
|
||
credible like a deputy."
|
||
|
||
Does she believe in extraterrestrials?
|
||
|
||
"I think that it would be ignorant of me not to think there is something out
|
||
there in this whole universe that has evolved. There has to be somebody out
|
||
there."
|
||
|
||
Lisa Curran, 28, also of New Port Richey, said she and her parents saw the
|
||
unusual object in broad daylight Sunday afternoon. It hovered high above
|
||
them, rising until it vanished, she said.
|
||
|
||
Her husband, Tom, who was not with her when she saw the object, disagrees. He
|
||
said he believes it was a military airplane, possibly a Stealth bomber that
|
||
can avoid radar detection.
|
||
|
||
"I find it hard to believe it was from outer space," Tom Curran said.
|
||
|
||
Said Lisa: "If he saw it and I didn't, I'd probably make fun of him, too."

CURRENT UFO SIGHTINGS PUZZLE SAGUACHE COUNTY RESIDENTS
|
||
|
||
by Christopher O'Brien
|
||
|
||
The San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado is heating up. There
|
||
have been, and continue to be, numerous UFO sightings. These unusual
|
||
sightings are picking up in intensity.
|
||
|
||
Additional witnesses, of the November through January sightings,
|
||
are being interviewed from all over the northern portion of the San
|
||
Luis Valley in Saguache County (see Crestone Eagle articles in February
|
||
and March issues).
|
||
|
||
Additional Witnesses Found

|
||
Several additional accounts during the third week of November
|
||
include a Crestone resident being "compelled to drive to the end of the
|
||
Baca Grande development" to the border of the Baca Ranch where she
|
||
claimed she lost almost two hours. She said she arrived at the end of
|
||
the road at 8:30 pm, November 24th, 1992, the eve of Thanksgiving, and
|
||
doesn't recall the next hour and a half. This was the time period
|
||
"small glimmering" lights were spotted by several Crestone/Baca
|
||
residents over the Baca Ranch. Two Baca residents who lived just over a
|
||
mile away witnessed ". . . lights that at one point were directly over
|
||
our house."
|
||
|
||
A rancher 25 miles north and 10 miles west of the Baca Ranch area
|
||
where "large whitish-gold laser-like ovals" were seen December 9th,
|
||
1992, claimed seeing "a bright white light come over the Sangre De
|
||
Cristos." He said it hovered momentarily then "in no more than 2 or 3
|
||
seconds", streaked south over his head 60-70 miles and hover "over the
|
||
(Baca) ranch." The witness has only lived in the valley for a year and
|
||
had not had any prior sightings. "It sure got me keeping my eyes open!"
|
||
he stated.
|
||
|
||
Another Saguache County rancher and his wife travelling south on
|
||
[Hwy] 285, 35 miles north of the Baca Ranch saw what was described as
|
||
"brilliant white light."
|
||
|
||
"Up until now I didn't believe in UFOs, but that was the damndest
|
||
thing I ever saw", remarked Donna Alexander, one of the witnesses.

|
||
On December 21, 1992 at 10:50 am, two Crestone residents again
|
||
observed what they had previously described as a "bell-shaped metallic
|
||
object" just outside the town of Mosca, Colorado. The object flew over
|
||
their car as they travelled south on [Hwy] 17 and appeared to be
|
||
"headed for Blanca Peak" to the east. This object may have been spotted
|
||
by occupants of another car travelling on the road.

|
||
During the second week of January, a Moffat, Colorado rancher
|
||
returning from Salida, Colorado on [Hwy] 17 saw what he described as a
|
||
"dark green 2-man helicopter menacing his herd" of horses in a corral
|
||
next to the highway. He said the helicopter was hovering less than 100
|
||
feet from his herd. The rancher, a former Air Force officer candidate,
|
||
tried to get the aircraft's FAA ID number but said the number appeared
|
||
incomplete. The rancher is understandably upset because, two years ago
|
||
this spring, he noticed that two of his horses began missing "clipped
|
||
off" portions of their ears. This disturbing phenomena occurred over a
|
||
two month period. He stated that this all happened after the last
|
||
frost and could not be attributed to frost-bite.

|
||
On February 11th and 12th, 1993, a Crestone resident claimed he saw a
|
||
"bright white light come over the (Sangre De Cristo) Mountains,"
|
||
hover for "10 or 15 seconds" before "zipping north over the tops of the
|
||
mountains." The next night a "bright white light", again was seen. This
|
||
time the object dropped through cloud cover, lighting up the clouds,
|
||
before streaking north. Both these sightings occurred between 9:30 and
|
||
10:00 pm and were completely silent.

|
||
During the third week of February, a Moffat Colorado resident was
|
||
parked at the North Crestone Campground entrance gate where he
|
||
experienced his car being "lit up from above" by a "brilliant white
|
||
beam of light". He described the beam as having "incredible enery." He
|
||
said the "light was trying to get him out of his car!" A second smaller
|
||
beam of light then proceeded to light up 4 or 5 spots sequentially
|
||
around his car. He said the whole episode only lasted for 4 or 5
|
||
seconds and afterwards left him feeling "exhausted and limp." He was
|
||
never able to see the source of the light beams and he claimed that
|
||
whatever it was, it was completely silent.
|
||
|
||
On February 23rd and 24th, a psychotherapist who lives 20 miles
|
||
north of Crestone near Valley View Hotsprings observed an unexplained
|
||
light over the valley. There were reportedly additional witnesses to
|
||
one of the sightings.

|
||
On March 15th, two Baca Grants residents again observed lights over
|
||
the Baca Ranch. The couple also saw an unusual light on the western
|
||
skyline. This sighting took place just after 8:OO pm. Two other
|
||
witnesses were driving east on Road T towards Crestone and observed
|
||
lights in a triangle in the same vicinity. One of the witnesses, a firm
|
||
non-believer in UFOs, has evidently altered his view of these puzzling
|
||
phenomena. I received a call on my answering machine at 8:16 pm telling
|
||
me of the couple's sighting. I arrived home at 9:30 and immediately
|
||
climbed up on the roof with binoculars to observe the area where these
|
||
lights were seen. At 9:40, I happened to catch movement over what I
|
||
perceived was the town of Saguache Colorado, 30 miles directly west.
|
||
The light could be described as looking like a brilliant sodium-vapor
|
||
street-light. I have an unobstructed 70 degree view of the western
|
||
portion of the San Luis Valley from Villa Grove to the northern border
|
||
of Costilla County, I watched the light travel silently almost 100
|
||
miles down the western side of the valley at what appeared to be around
|
||
4 or 5,000 feet above the valley floor. This only took 2 or 3 minutes.
|
||
After the light reached what appeared to be the Costilla County border,
|
||
it disappeared instantly to the south. Five minutes later, I observed a
|
||
second light, exactly the same as the first, travel the same path as
|
||
the first one. Midway in its flight path I called to my girlfriend who
|
||
also observed the strange light. The light could not have come from the
|
||
after-burner of an unlit jet, for we observed it coming and going.
|
||
There were 4 aircraft in the air over the valley at the same time as
|
||
these two objects, some obviously much further away than the object
|
||
and all of them exhibited the standard flashing anti-collision lights
|
||
required by the FAA. The objects never flashed.
|
||
|
||
Jet Fighters Seen

|
||
Less than 10 minutes after the second light disappeared, three
|
||
military jets screamed over the Sangres from the east, two of them made
|
||
a sweeping turn and headed directly south in the direction the lights
|
||
disappeared while the third jet continued west towards the town of
|
||
Saguache.
|
||
|
||
Under-sheriff Lynn Bogle of the Saguache Sheriffs Department heard
|
||
"around 10:00 o'clock," a "jet roar over his house" at an unusually low
|
||
altitude. He had been working on his computer and ran outside to see
|
||
it, but was unable to spot the plane. No reports were made to the
|
||
Alamosa and Rio Grande Sheriffs Departments.
|
||
|
||
Could You Turn That Light Off, Please!

|
||
That same night two Crestone Baca residents experienced strange
|
||
lights illuminating their houses . One of them described the light as
|
||
being like moonlight but much brighter. The other one described the
|
||
light as red. Neither of them checked the time, but thought it
|
||
happened between 2 and 3 in the morning.

|
||
All these incidents are puzzling. They indicate SOMETHING is going
|
||
on. The San Luis Valley has periodically been a hotbed of UFO activity
|
||
for the last 30 years and it appears we are in for an exciting spring ,
|
||
summer and fall. These sightings curiously seem to start around 9:30pm.
|
||
Area residents are urged to devote time to trying to observe these
|
||
unexplained lights and report them to me at (719) 256-4128.
|
||
|
||
Since my February article, I have discovered two additional cattle
|
||
mutilations this past fall, over the Sangres in Huerfano County,
|
||
and two possible mutilations this past spring.

RACHEL, NEVADA -- The organizers of the "event" are touting it to be "the
|
||
most important event" of the year, a significant breakthrough in the public's
|
||
continuing quest to uncover the so-called government's "UFO secrecy".
|
||
|
||
Not so, say military officials both at the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air
|
||
Force Range who are beginning to be perturbed about the event that will take
|
||
place right near their "backyard".
|
||
|
||
The proprietors of the location of the event - Pat and Joe Travis, owners of
|
||
the restaurant-bar where the main event will be held - are ecstatic as it will
|
||
bring in much needed business from increasing publicity by the media.
|
||
|
||
The reason for all this commotion? An unprecedented pubic forum that is to
|
||
take place on April 30 and May 1 in a tiny community of Rachel, Nevada located
|
||
only 11 miles north of the outer perimeters of a controversial top-secret
|
||
military area known as Area 51.
|
||
|
||
More that 300 participants, including a number of investigative journalists
|
||
and some writers for aviation magazines such as Jane's Defense Weekly as well
|
||
as several local and out-of-state TV crew and others in the media, will all
|
||
converge in this tiny sleepy town for a two-day pubic forum on April 30 and
|
||
May 1, the purpose of which will be, according to the organizers, to "expose"
|
||
to the public and to "demand" from military authorities "once and for all" the
|
||
truth behind the secrecy surrounding the "deal" at Groom Lake (Area 51) and
|
||
Papoose Lake (S-4) complexes.
|
||
|
||
Gary Schultz, director of a Southern California-based group known as the
|
||
Secret Saucer Base Expeditions is convinced that the government is hiding
|
||
alien crafts at Papoose Lake (10 miles south of Groom Lake) and that a joint
|
||
technological exchange program of some type is going on among aliens, the
|
||
military and a select group of top scientists and that the public must be made
|
||
aware of the situation.
|
||
|
||
"There's no doubt about it," says Schultz, "...some select U.S. pilots are
|
||
regularly being given instructions in maneuvering several disk-shaped crafts
|
||
at Papoose Lake." Like a fire-brand crusader, Schultz who organized this
|
||
upcoming event, has taken hundreds of enthusiasts to the perimeters of Area 51
|
||
for the past three years and seems to be totally committed in bringing this
|
||
out to the public. He became a true believer after the night of February 28 of
|
||
1990 when he claimed to have observed in awe what seemed to be a metallic
|
||
disk-shaped craft that suddenly appeared over Jumbled Hills and flew towards
|
||
the Groom Lake area. Both facilities, according to Schultz are conveniently
|
||
hidden from a public's view by the Jumbled Hills (that cover the Papoose Lake
|
||
area) and the adjoining Groom Mountains (that cover the Groom Lake complexes
|
||
known as Area 51), thus making it impossible for anyone to see the facilities
|
||
from Highway 375 or from any of the county dirt roads in the area known as
|
||
"public land" in the Tickaboo Valley.
|
||
|
||
"This event is going to be a showdown of sort ... a `show of force' to let
|
||
the Groom Lake officials know that we are dead serious about exposing what is
|
||
being covered up," says Norio Hayakawa, co-organizer of the event who
|
||
describes himself as a former regional director of another California-based
|
||
nation-wide group that calls itself the Civilian Intelligence Network. "We are
|
||
going to call upon several compartmentalized engineers, technicians and even
|
||
construction workers at the site to `come out of the closet' and urge them to
|
||
confide to us what is really taking place out there." According to Hayakawa,
|
||
many of the construction workers who are involved in the expansion of the
|
||
secret facilities reside in small communities such as Tonopah, Rachel, Alamo,
|
||
Ash Springs, Hiko and Pioche. "We even know several technicians that are
|
||
temporarily residing in some of those communities who have contacted us during
|
||
the past year. They are definitely afraid of being identified as whistle-
|
||
blowers" says Hayakawa. However, "the vast majority of top scientists that
|
||
work at both Groom Lake and Papoose Lake are flown in twice a week by a
|
||
special chartered plane that flies out from a restricted area reserved for
|
||
E.G.&G., Wackenhut Corporation and the Department of Energy at McCarran
|
||
International Airport in Las Vegas," he states.
|
||
|
||
Hayakawa has also been instrumental in organizing many trips to this remote
|
||
desert area. he claims that the government is test-flying several state-of-
|
||
the-art aircraft that virtually resemble "flying saucers," some of which could
|
||
even be the rumored Aurora spy plane allegedly built by Lockheed. The other
|
||
crafts that are already maneuvering are triangular-shaped TR-3A, commonly
|
||
known as the "black manta" and several diamond-shaped aircraft known by the
|
||
insiders as "pumpkin seeds" that use pulse detonation propulsion system.
|
||
"There is no doubt in my mind that these Nevada facilities are where the
|
||
leading edge technology is located ... the leading edge in propulsion systems
|
||
in computer applications, in everything, including the latest in medical
|
||
technology, especially since human pilots have to withstand extreme amount of
|
||
G-forces required in maneuvering the latest ultra-sonic aircraft. The public
|
||
hasn't the slightest idea how advanced our state-of-the-art technology has
|
||
come in terms of aeronautics and aerodynamics. I have come to the conclusion
|
||
that our government, especially under the auspices of such top-secret
|
||
agencies as the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and D.A.R.P.A (the Defense
|
||
Advanced Research Projects Agency), now has the capacity to simulate and even
|
||
`stage' fake extraterrestrial landings by building believable disk-like crafts
|
||
and create an alien threat if they re ally want to, in the near future for
|
||
some reason or other." Yet at the same time Hayakawa emphasizes that he does
|
||
not rule out the possibility that there may indeed be higher technology there
|
||
at Papoose Lake (2-4) complexes, the origins of which we cannot yet verify at
|
||
the moment but which could very well be `alien technology.'
|
||
|
||
According to Hayakawa, whose sources he declines to divulge, both the Groom
|
||
Lake and Papoose Lake operations will completely shut down all test schedules
|
||
beginning 5 days prior to and up to 5 days after the conclusion of the two-day
|
||
seminar. "It is my understanding from my source that both the Wackenhut
|
||
Special Security Division, employed by the Department of Energy to guard the
|
||
out perimeters of Groom Lake area and the entire Lincoln County Sheriff
|
||
Department whose headquarters are in Pioche, Nevada, will be fully mobilized
|
||
not only for crowd control but also to prevent anyone or any fringe contingent
|
||
groups from climbing atop several of the hills that overlook the Groom Lake
|
||
areas.
|
||
|
||
Several of those hills are (topographically-speaking) located on public land
|
||
(Bureau of Land Management) and not officially within the military boundary.
|
||
Yet, according to Hayakawa, climbing atop those hills such as White Sides, in
|
||
now punishable by stiff penalty including hefty fines and confiscation of all
|
||
cameras and video camcorders. It took more than eight months before his
|
||
friends; camera and video camcorder, minus the films, were finally returned by
|
||
the authorities after being confiscated last year. Hayakawa says he climbed
|
||
atop White Sides when he took along with him several science writers from
|
||
Japan in March of 1992 to take a view of Groom Lake. However, Hayakawa claims
|
||
that because of his connections to a source within a Special Operations group
|
||
at the Office of Naval Intelligence (which he again says he cannot divulge for
|
||
his and others' protection), pressure was apparently applied from higher
|
||
authorities on Patrician Cafferata who was the Lincoln County District
|
||
Attorney at the time to expedite the return of the equipment. "Fortunately,
|
||
somebody out there applied pressure on her. They just didn't want the
|
||
confiscation incident to turn into an international scandal involving the
|
||
Department of State since the confiscated equipment belonged to my friends who
|
||
happened to be Japanese citizens. My friends were even getting ready to hire
|
||
some international attorneys and to publicize in major Japanese media this
|
||
illegal seizure of tourists' possessions while visiting Nevada when they were
|
||
just standing on pubic land. This happened, mind you, on public land, not
|
||
within the military boundary .... in is interesting because she is no longer
|
||
the District Attorney of Lincoln County," says Hayakawa.
|
||
|
||
Hayakawa says that despite the presence of a growing number of curiosity
|
||
seekers that come to this remote area of Nevada to see what is going on at
|
||
Area 51, the government seems to be in full swing of operations undeterred by
|
||
the public, especially since the vast majority of the secret installations are
|
||
most likely built underground and are undetectable by most spy satellites,
|
||
domestic or foreign. "They must be under some kind of a time-schedule to
|
||
accomplish whatever they're testing or doing out there," he concludes. "We
|
||
must bear in mind," he adds, "that it is the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory,
|
||
and not the Air Force that is behind what's going on at the Papoose Lake (S-4)
|
||
Area. Robert Lazar was compensated by the Navy, and not the Air Force, for his
|
||
work at S-4."
|
||
|
||
The main attraction for the two-day event will definitely be the rare public
|
||
re-appearance of Robert Lazar. "He will be the focus of attention when he will
|
||
present a special surprise there," exclaims Schultz. Lazar is the former
|
||
government scientist who claims to have worked on a compartmentalized secret
|
||
project at the S-4 facility under contract from E.G.&G. company which is a
|
||
special defense contractor with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, closely
|
||
associated with D.A.R.P.A. (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).
|
||
Lazar claimed that he worked on a back-engineering program to test-fly a disk-
|
||
shaped craft at S-4. Although he does not claim that he has ever seen any
|
||
alien entities there himself he emphatically stated (and continues to state)
|
||
that there is alien technology at S-4.
|
||
|
||
According to both Schultz and Hayakawa, Lazar still reports to Los Alamos
|
||
National Laboratory in New Mexico an average of at least two days a month to
|
||
do some contract work for the Navy. "We must bear in mind that Lazar is an
|
||
acknowledged physicist with specialty in some compartmentalized top S.D.I.
|
||
projects such as the research on particle beam systems," says Hayakawa, "and
|
||
that may very well be the reason for him to use the `UFO' story as some type
|
||
of smokescreen to draw the public's attention away from the real defense
|
||
projects that the government does not want the public to know about."
|
||
|
||
Another celebrity among the so-called "UFO circuit" is George Knapp, former
|
||
anchorman for K.L.A.S.-TV in Las Vegas (CBS affiliate) who will speak at the
|
||
two-day seminar. He says that he will present some new information that he
|
||
recently acquired which will further substantiate the validity of Robert
|
||
Lazar's claims. It was George Knapp who first brought Lazar out to the public
|
||
through his news programs. Knapp recently returned from a trip from Moscow,
|
||
the purpose of which he will not disclose until the seminar.
|
||
|
||
Among the other `riveting' line-up of speakers will be Tony Pelham, an
|
||
investigative journalist who uncovered and documented some of the first cattle
|
||
mutilations in Lincoln County, according to Schultz. Pelham was one of the
|
||
first reporters that brought out to the public the existence of Area 51 itself
|
||
long before Knapp broke the story on TV news.
|
||
|
||
John Lear, a controversial pilot who states that he formerly flew for
|
||
Central Intelligence in a number of covert missions, will also speak at the
|
||
seminar. John Lear, a friend of Robert Lazar and son of William Lear who was
|
||
the developer of the Lear Jet, says he will divulge some yet undisclosed
|
||
information that he recently acquired on the Groom Lake facility.
|
||
|
||
Schultz and Hayakawa both say that, without question, some top officials of
|
||
the Groom Lake facility as well as the Office of Special Investigations at
|
||
Nellis Air Force Base who were already informed of the event will be in
|
||
attendance at the seminar, probably disguised "incognito" as participants at
|
||
the seminar. "They will no doubt be there just to see how much information we
|
||
have acquired on both Groom and Papoose Lake facilities," says Schultz.
|
||
|
||
"There's just no telling what's going to happen on April 30 and May 1 in
|
||
Rachel, Nevada," concludes Hayakawa. "It could indeed be the historic event
|
||
with some startling announcements," he added.
