SUBJECT: AMERICANS ASK FOR EXPLANATIONS ON UFOs FILE: UFO2934

U. S. Senator Barry Goldwater (Arizona) is a retired USAF
|
|
General, with TOP SECRET CLEARANCE, who attempted to gain
|
|
access to a storage facility alleged to contain dead aliens at
|
|
Wright-Patterson AFB. He was refused entry since he did not
|
|
have, believe it or not, a high enough security clearance.
|
|
|
|
On December 3, 1974, Goldwater wrote the following letter:
|
|
|
|
"...I made an effort to get in the room at Wright-Patter-
|
|
son Field where the information was stored and I was denied
|
|
this request, understandably."
|
|
|
|
On March 28, 1975, Senator Goldwater wrote again:
|
|
|
|
"...The subject of UFOs has interested me for some time.
|
|
I made an effort to find out what was in THE BUILDING AT
|
|
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE WHERE THE INFORMATION IS STORED
|
|
THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED BY THE AIR FORCE, and I was denied this
|
|
request. IT IS STILL CLASSIFIED ABOVE TOP SECRET..." (Emphasis
|
|
Added).
|
|
|
|
Other prominent Amercans have also gone on record that
|
|
the UFO phenomena is worthy of serious study, for example:
|
|
|
|
1. President Carter asked NASA to explore the
|
|
possibility of investigating UFOs.
|
|
|
|
2. When he was in Congress, President Ford called for
|
|
Congressional investigations of UFOs.
|
|
|
|
3. Astronaut Gordon Cooper said, "I believe that these
|
|
extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this
|
|
planet from other planets."
|
|
|
|
4. General Nathan Twining, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
|
|
of Staff and reputed member of MJ-12, wrote a secret memo on
|
|
September 23, 1947, in which he stated to the Commanding
|
|
General of the Army Air Forces on the subject of "Flying
|
|
Discs":
|
|
" a. The phenomenon reported is something REAL and not
|
|
visionary or fictitious.
|
|
b. There are objects probably approximating the shape
|
|
of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to
|
|
be as large as a man-made aircraft.
|
|
c. There is a possibility that some of the incidents
|
|
may be caused by natural phenomena, such as
|
|
meteors.
|
|
d. The reported operating characteristics such as
|
|
extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly
|
|
in roll), and action which must be considered EVASIVE
|
|
when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and
|
|
radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the
|
|
objects are controlled either manually, automatically
|
|
or remotely." (Emphasis in Original).
|
|
|
|
It is now clear that the U.S. Air Force Project Blue
|
|
Book was merely a public relations effort to show something
|
|
being "done" about UFOs. It is equally clear that the real
|
|
effort was, and continues to be conducted elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act have
|
|
obtained significant official documentation verifying an on-
|
|
going uninterrupted concern with UFO investigations by the Air
|
|
Force, belying its publicly stated position on the matter.
|
|
A Joint Army Navy Air Force Publication (JANAP 146)
|
|
requires reports of any sighting which could be a threat to
|
|
national security. UFOs continue to be sighted by military
|
|
personnel and are reported under this regulation.
|
|
Indeed, important UFO sightings and reports, even before
|
|
1969, were not processed under Project Blue Book, but were and
|
|
are collected and investigated elsewhere by the military. An
|
|
Air Force document dated October 20, 1969, which proposed
|
|
termination of Project Blue Book, states, "Reports of
|
|
Unidentified Flying Objects which could affect national
|
|
security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force
|
|
Manual 55-11, AND ARE NOT PART OF THE BLUE BOOK SYSTEM
|
|
(Emphasis Added)...reports of UFOs which could affect national
|
|
security should continue to be handled through standard Air
|
|
Force procedure designed for this purpose." This document is
|
|
signed by Brigadier General C.H. Bolender, USAF Deputy
|
|
Director of Development, and had sixteen attachments which the
|
|
Air Force has not released.
|
|
JANAP 146 E (1977) states:
|
|
a. Sightings within the scope of this chapter...
|
|
are to be reported as follows:
|
|
1. While airborne and from land based observers.
|
|
(a) Hostile or unidentified single aircraft
|
|
or formations of aircraft which appear
|
|
to be directed against the United States
|
|
or Canada or their forces.
|
|
(b) Missles.
|
|
(c) Unidentified Flying Objects.
|
|
(d) Hostile or unidentified submarines.
|
|
(e) ...etc...
|
|
|
|
The regulation draws a clear distinction between
|
|
"Unidentified Flying Objects," "missles," and unidentified
|
|
single aircraft or formations of aircraft." In other words,
|
|
UFOs which may be deemed to constitute a threat to national
|
|
security under JANAP 146, are considered by the regulation as
|
|
something different than missles and aircraft.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, the term "UFO," as used in these regulations,
|
|
is given very clear definition. Illustrations in Air Force
|
|
Intelligence manuals at least as far back as 1953 represent
|
|
UFOs as large, disc-shaped craft with transparent domes and
|
|
portholes around the edges. A U.S. Navy publication (OPNAV 94-
|
|
P-3B), titled "MERINT Radiotelegraph Procedure," shows UFOs as
|
|
a separate class from missles and aircraft. In fact, an
|
|
illustration under the UFO heading shows a Saturn-shaped disc.
