Walker II, a product builder and researcher focused on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). He started this index to put the most credible documents, events, and people in one place so anyone can explore the growing disclosure record for themselves. Stephen has spent two decades turning messy data into useful products—most recently as the founder of Klu.ai and in earlier roles at Productboard and Amazon. Now he is applying the same skills to collect, clean, and connect hundreds of primary-source files on UAP so they remain open and verifiable. Disclosdex is a work in progress. If you spot an error, have a document to share, or want to help, please reach out. --- Page: Updates (/updates) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Updates Latest posts and site news All ## 2026 - [Japan UAP investigation, 2026 executive actions, and historical expansion Aug 20](/updates/2026-japan-uap-and-historical-expansion)Content Update - [PURSUE disclosure releases 04 and 05 ingestion Aug 07](/updates/2026-pursue-disclosure-releases-04-05)Content Update - [Public API for the disclosure corpus Jun 15](/updates/2026-public-api-launch)Features - [Department of War PURSUE disclosure — Release 03 Jun 12](/updates/2026-pursue-disclosure-release-03)Content Update - [Department of War PURSUE disclosure — Release 02 May 22](/updates/2026-pursue-disclosure-release-02)Content Update - [Department of War PURSUE disclosure — Release 01 May 19](/updates/2026-pursue-disclosure-release-01)Content Update - [Historical corpus expansion and dossier deepening May 18](/updates/2026-historical-corpus-expansion)Content Update ## 2025 - [New dossiers and expanded investigations Jun 28](/updates/june-28-updates)Content Update - [Massive content expansion Jun 17](/updates/june-17-updates)Index - [Navigation and mapping Jun 16](/updates/june-16-updates)Features - [Section improvements Jun 12](/updates/june-12-updates)Features - [Midcentury programs Jun 11](/updates/midcentury-programs)Index - [Contribute to index Jun 10](/updates/contribute-details)Features - [Initial index Jun 07](/updates/initial-index)Index - [Site Launch Jun 07](/updates/site-launch)Announcement --- Page: Links (/links) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Links Media, independent investigations, and government transcripts All - [DIA AATIP/AAWSAP FOIA Reading Room May 05, 2026](/links/dia-aatip-foia-reading-room)FOIA - [FBI Vault - UFO May 05, 2026](/links/fbi-vault-ufo)FOIA - [NSA UFO and Paranormal Events FOIA Collection May 05, 2026](/links/nsa-ufo-paranormal-events-foia)FOIA - [Biblioteca Virtual de Defensa - Expedientes OVNI May 05, 2026](/links/spanish-ministry-defense-expedientes-ovni)Archive - [AARO Congressional/Press Products Mar 02, 2026](/links/aaro-congressional-press-products)Oversight - [AARO UAP Records Feb 13, 2026](/links/aaro-uap-records)Records - [AARO officially releases additional public UAP imagery cases Jan 06, 2026](/links/aaro-2026-uap-imagery-archive)Government - [House Oversight UAP Hearing Video Archive (2025-09-09) Sep 09, 2025](/links/house-uap-hearing-video-archive)Government - [UAP Hearing Notice, Opening Statement, and Hearing-Day Materials Sep 09, 2025](/links/uap-hearing-announcement-and-opening-statements)Government - [2025-09-09 UAP Hearing Testimony Documents and Transcripts Sep 09, 2025](/links/uap-hearing-testimony-documents)Government - [UAP Oversight and Transparency Records: Aug 202502 2026 Sep 09, 2025](/links/uap-oversight-aug-2025-feb-2026)Government - [Did the “Deep State” Invent the U.F.O.

The Clonmacnoise airship record survives as a set of 8th-century annal references that were copied into later Irish chronicle collections and eventually into an early modern English translation tradition.   Origin of the record Three independent annal traditions preserve a short notice in the same 740s period, including a mention that ships were seen in the air near Clonmacnoise, indicating a shared kernel rather than a single eyewitness report.   Witness and reporting chain The earliest witnesses are embedded in monastic annal traditions; these entries are presented as institutional notices rather than named depositions and were repeatedly copied within monastery-linked chronicle networks. The 1896 print lineage places the material in Conall Mageoghagans translated tradition, which then entered print as a curated chronicle record in the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland edition.   Interpretation evolution As the tradition moved from terse annal notation to the printed Clonmacnoise text, context and narrative density increased, with later compilations framing the 8th-century motif in broader moral and courtly storytelling terms while preserving the core aerial report. Modern archival comparison therefore treats this chain as cumulative redaction rather than a newly attested contemporary witness set.   References   References - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100001A.html) - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100001A/header.html) - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100002.html) - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100002/header.html) - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100005A.html) - [celt.ucc.ie](https://celt.ucc.ie/published/G100005A/header.html) - [archive.org](https://archive.org/stream/annalsofclonmacn00mage/annalsofclonmacn00mage_djvu.txt) - [sources.nli.ie](https://sources.nli.ie/Record/MS_UR_005340) - [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/annalsofclonmacn00mage) - [archive.org](https://archive.org/download/annalsofclonmacn00mage/) --- Page: Stockholm Halo Record, 1535 (/documents/1535-stockholm-halo-documentary-record) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Stockholm Halo Record, 1535 Chronicle Stockholm document sources of the April 1535 halo event, its commissioned painting, provenance chain, and interpretation shifts. Disclosure Rating — 6/10 The surviving record links the halo over Stockholm on 20 April 1535 to a citywide interpretive response in church context and to a painting tradition that kept the memory visible for centuries.   source origin The core source is Vädersolstavlan, described as an image of Stockholm tied to the 1535 event and preserved as the oldest known city depiction in its own documentation set. It is specifically noted as tied to Storkyrkan, where the painting tradition is recorded as part of Stockholm’s earliest visual record-making around the phenomenon.   named recorders/commissioning context Stockholm educational framing names reformer Olaus Petri as the likely commissioner, and explains how the sky appearance was interpreted as an ominous signal during the early Vasa period. Those accounts place interpretation in the hands of clerical and civic observers rather than a single scientific witness, a pattern reinforced by later commentary on public reaction and religious meaning. The present panel is said to be a 1636 copy by Jacob Elbfas, while the 1535 original is treated as lost; later museum analysis preserved the copied chain for scholarship.   archive preservation Stockholm source pages and museum-linked records describe a 1998/99 conservation cycle that reclassified the panel from believed original to documented 17th century copy based on technical evidence. The same records preserve object custody metadata and museum attribution, while the Riksarkivet collection list places “Vädersolstavlan i Storkyrkan” inside an archive series used for historical reference.   interpretation shifts First-order explanations emphasized prophecy, divine warning, and political theology in the immediate memory tradition, while later scholarship stresses image analysis and material provenance. Modern catalog and image records show a second-layer interpretation where authenticity, condition, conservation, and reproduction history now define the document’s evidentiary role in the same story.   References   References - [stockholmskallan.stockholm.se](https://stockholmskallan.stockholm.se/post/2) - [stockholmskallan.stockholm.se](https://stockholmskallan.stockholm.se/post/28475) - [stockholmskallan.stockholm.se](https://stockholmskallan.stockholm.se/post/8170) - [digitaltmuseum.se](https://digitaltmuseum.se/011024830894/litografi) - [sok.riksarkivet.se](https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis+1db9a8ea-168b-4d78-8544-cf72492d9cf3&s=TARKIS08_Balder) - [stockholmskallan.stockholm.se](https://stockholmskallan.stockholm.se/post/8154) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AV%C3%A4dersolstavlan_1535a.jpg) --- Page: Plech Sky Phenomenon Documents (/documents/1554-plech-sky-phenomenon-documents) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Plech Sky Phenomenon Documents Historical June 1554 Plech, Bavaria reports a dawn red stripe and rider figures, preserved through broadsheet tradition and later historiographical debate Digital summaries place a Plech, Bavaria sky report on 1 June 1554 within the same sixteenth-century celestial-phenomenon corpus that includes Nürnberg and Basel entries.   Transmission In the modern indexed record, the Plech entry appears in cross-referenced sections for Nürnberg and Basel celestial-sign compilations, so the transmission is mediated through linked catalogues rather than a standalone, independently archived witness file. The dewiki and German Wikipedia entries used for this corpus repeatedly connect Plech to those adjacent regional print records, indicating that the transmission is a curated secondary chain rather than a self-contained original manuscript filing.   Witnesses The witness profile in those linked compilations names Leonhardt Kellner, the local Plech parish pastor, and the local community as the principal reported observers. Because the source is not presented as a full primary manuscript dossier in the same way as the Nürnberg or Basel broadsheet records, those names function as preserved witness markers in later summaries rather than as a full contemporary witness protocol.   Historiography Interpretation has shifted from omen-focused readings in early catalog language toward later comparative analysis with Nürnberg 1561 and Basel 1566 material. Modern commentators in archival and museum-oriented summaries place the Plech motif in a common early-modern sky-sign tradition that can be read either as symbolic religious imagery or as retrospective anomaly narrative, while remaining distinct from any single official investigative report chain.   References   References - [dewiki.de](https://dewiki.de/Lexikon/N%C3%BCrnberger_Flugblatt_von_1561) - [dewiki.de](https://dewiki.de/Lexikon/Basler_Flugblatt_von_1566) - [de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrnberger_Flugblatt_von_1561) - [de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_Flugblatt_von_1566) - [de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrnberger_Flugblatt_von_1561#%C3%84hnliche_Ereignisse) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/content/titleinfo/2723852) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/content/titleinfo/2725175) - [doi.org](https://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-91896) - [academia.edu](https://www.academia.edu/15564065/Nuremberg_1561_A_Skeptical_Study) --- Page: 1561 Nuremberg Broadsheet Documents (/documents/1561-nuremberg-broadsheet-documents) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # 1561 Nuremberg Broadsheet Documents Broadsheet A 1561 Nuremberg broadsheet records a dawn sky spectacle, tracing custody, observers, and shifts from omen messaging to natural explanations. Disclosure Rating — 7/10   Source chain origin The item known as Himmelserscheinung über Nürnberg vom 14. April 1561 is cataloged in Zentralbibliothek Zürich as a 1561 single-sheet woodcut by Hans Glaser, preserved in PAS II 1/12 with persistent bibliographic identifiers and stable archival metadata. It also appears as an identifiable digital object with direct download and manifest endpoints, confirming institutional provenance from acquisition to reuse workflow.   Who reported/observed The printed text states that in the morning of 14 April 1561, between four and five o’clock, many men and women in Nuremberg and the surrounding area saw a “dreadful spectacle.” The report therefore presents as a communal observational claim and a moralizing publication rather than a named eyewitness deposition.   Interpretation evolution Contemporary catalog summaries describe the print as a warning-shaped account and link it to a prodigies tradition in which divine messaging framed celestial reports. Modern scientific discussion has moved toward atmospheric explanations, with current media interpretation identifying the motif as a halo display rather than a literal aerial battle while noting that broadsheet imagery could include stylistic exaggeration. A second institutional catalog chain in the Swiss Discovery environment preserves the same object under Zürich control, anchoring both historical theology-driven circulation and later archival reinterpretation in the same collection lineage.   References   References - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/content/titleinfo/2723858) - [doi.org](https://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-91897) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/download/pdf/2723858) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/i3f/v20/2723858/manifest) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AHimmelserscheinung_%C3%BCber_N%C3%BCrnberg_vom_14._April_1561.jpg) - [graphikportal.org](https://www.graphikportal.org/document/gpo00139748) - [deutschlandfunk.de](https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/vor-460-jahren-beaengstigendes-himmelsspektakel-ueber-100.html) - [uzb.swisscovery.ch](https://uzb.swisscovery.ch/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma990052892820205508&context=L&vid=41SLSP_UZB:UZB&lang=de&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=LibraryCatalog&offset=0) --- Page: 1566 Basel Broadsheet Documents (/documents/1566-basel-broadsheet-documents) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # 1566 Basel Broadsheet Documents Broadsheet This document tracks Basels 1566 broadsheet sources, catalog metadata, and museum interpretations that trace how the reports meaning evolved. Disclosure Rating — 6/10   Broadsheet origin in Basel The surviving Basel source is indexed as a 1566 broadsheet tied to dates in late July and 7 August, establishing an archival artifact with a clear publication date and item identity rather than a later retelling.   Provenance record and identifiers The Zentralbibliothek record frames this as a discrete print object within the Basel corpus, and the metadata preserves production and attribution details needed to verify chain of custody across catalog systems.   Named production and reported intermediaries The indexed record credits Samuel Apiarius and Samuel Coccius as textual attributors and Samuel Apiarium as printer, while the same catalog context records the Basel print context through named names and format metadata.   Observational claim chain The source text attributes the sky event to reports circulating in Basel, not to a single identifiable eyewitness list, so the transmission depends on local reporting before print and later cultural interpretation layered above the observed phenomena.   Early meaning and religious framing Institutional interpretation in the Swiss National Museum material describes the broadsheet as a portending narrative interpreted through religious warning language, showing how public anxiety shaped meaning during its period of circulation.   Later interpretation and cultural afterlife Modern scholarship now treats the broadsheet as a historical print artifact with reinterpretations trending toward atmospheric or astronomical readings, while preserving its value for the history of early press circulation and broadsheet reception.   References   References - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/content/titleinfo/2725175) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/i3f/v20/2725175/manifest) - [doi.org](https://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-92162) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/search?operation=searchRetrieve&query=%28vl.printer-publisher%3D%22Getruckt+durch+Samuel+Apiarium%22%2Band+vl.domain%3Demanus+sortBy+dc.title%2Fasc) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/search?operation=searchRetrieve&query=vl.name.aut%3D%22Coccius%2C+Samuel%22+and+vl.domain%3Demanus+sortBy+dc.title%2Fasc) - [blog.nationalmuseum.ch](https://blog.nationalmuseum.ch/en/2024/07/the-celestial-event-over-basel-in-1566/) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/nav/classification/1726382) - [blog.nationalmuseum.ch](https://blog.nationalmuseum.ch/en/2020/08/pamphlets-tabloid-media/) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/search?operation=searchRetrieve&query=vl.name.aut%3D%22Apiarius%2C+Samuel%22+and+vl.domain%3Demanus+sortBy+dc.title%2Fasc) - [e-manuscripta.ch](https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/i3f/v20/2725175/canvas) --- Page: 1665 Stralsund Broadside Documents (/documents/1665-stralsund-broadsheet-documents) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # 1665 Stralsund Broadside Documents Broadsheet This document reconstructs the 1665 Stralsund sky battle broadside, named witnesses, and the print-and-exhibition chain that preserved it. The earliest surviving account of the Stralsund airship episode is a Leipzig broadside dated 8 April 1665 that names multiple eyewitnesses and describes an apparent sky battle above Stralsund and adjacent waters.   Source origin The broadside records a date, place, and named witnesses, establishing a first-generation printed source chain centered on direct testimony and local rumor circulation from the events aftermath. Its tone combines observational language with theological warning language, which is consistent with 17th-century urban broadside rhetoric but still preserves concrete witness-level details for later editorial reuse.   Named witness corpus The named witnesses in the extant chain are Clauss Sinnenman, Asmus Barfod, Joachim Hasse, Hans Trebus, Michel, and Stephan Rode. Their recurring appearance across reproductions and museum summaries indicates a fixed core corpus rather than a later, invented add-on list of names. That stable witness set also explains why modern curators treat the case as a chainable provenance artifact instead of an isolated anonymous legend.   Publication and reprint chain The first broadside is followed in the record by later reports and exhibition-era summaries that trace or quote the same witness names and core sequence. A later printed circulation appears in catalogued exhibition material and institutional writeups that frame the case as preserved broadside evidence for an early modern aerial report tradition. Contemporary museum references keep the broadside linked to visual reproductions and descriptive captions rather than a newly discovered archive copy, so the chain is best described as propagation and reinterpretation of the same source packet.   Interpretation history Initial interpretation emphasized prodigy, omen, and apocalyptic conflict imagery, in line with contemporary religious reading of sky phenomena. As the source moved into scholarly and museum settings, interpretation shifted toward historical media analysis and classification of the account as a cultural document about early anomaly reporting. The shift retains the witness evidence but alters meaning: from providential warning to historiographic case study.   References   References - [de.wikisource.org](https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Von_dem_wunderbarlichen_Stralsundischen_Lufft-Kriege_und_Schiff-streite) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:23_676358D_001.jpg) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:23_676358D_001.jpg&redirect=yes) - [smb.museum](https://www.smb.museum/ausstellungen/detail/ufo-1665/) - [smb.museum](https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/a-ufo-in-1665/) - [wienand-verlag.de](https://www.wienand-verlag.de/Programm/Kulturgeschichte/Ufo-1665-Die-Luftschlacht-von-Stralsund.html) - [tagesspiegel.de](https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/ufo-alarm-im-17-jahrhundert-die-berliner-kunstbibliothek-erforscht-eine-bizarre-mediensensation-9767375.html) - [wunderkammer.inselmann.net](https://wunderkammer.inselmann.net/1705/ausstellung-ufo-1665-die-luftschlacht-von-stralsund-kunstbibliothek-berlin/) - [de.m.wikisource.org](https://de.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Datei:23_676358D_001.jpg) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stralsundischer_Lufft-Krieg.jpg) --- Page: 1896-97 Mystery Airship Newspaper Archive (/documents/1896-97-mystery-airship-newspaper-archive) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # 1896-97 Mystery Airship Newspaper Archive Archive Documented 1896-97 North American mystery-airship reports through archived newspapers, tracing first publication, named observers, national spread, and evidentiary reliability. Disclosure Rating — 3/10   Source Origin The earliest modern print kernel of the 1896-97 airship episode appears in Sacramento coverage on 18 November 1896, where a single first-person account was rapidly reprinted and treated as a broader local anomaly in adjacent editions. Within days, related California and national editors added interviews, technical descriptions, and speculative commentary that shifted the story from a local report into a wave-style feature.   Who Reported and Observed The initial claims are repeatedly framed as witness-centered testimony from named local figures, city staff, and civic contacts, but several were filtered through intermediary reporting and not independently corroborated. Later regional stories cite rail workers, officials, and private residents as observers, often presenting layered quotes from multiple editorial retellings in the same publication cycle. The Aurora Texas section and Midwest reports rely on local correspondents who presented the events as observed fact at the time and later fed into retrospective UFO-era narratives.   Spread and Evolution The press pattern moves from California reports in late 1896 into Midwestern and Southern coverage through early 1897, with the number of publications and anecdotal elaboration increasing each month. As the wave matured, reports expanded into more dramatic claims: apparent landings, cargo or cable incidents, and crash narratives that were amplified by competing newspapers while still relying on copied material from initial articles. By April and May, the original light-and-shape descriptions had evolved into national folklore framing, where replication claims outpaced verification and local reporting became a proxy for evidentiary certainty.   Evidentiary Reliability The archive is strongest in its own chronology: multiple date-stamped newspapers provide contemporaneous publication evidence of claims, reprints, and rebuttals. However, reliability varies by outlet because many reports are mutually derivative, anecdotal, and inconsistent in physical detail. The absence of surviving chain-of-custody artifacts in the same paper trail means the episode is better interpreted as a communications phenomenon than as confirmed aerospace evidence, despite intense geographic spread.   References   References - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82015104/1896-11-18/ed-1/seq-4.pdf) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82015104/1896-11-20/ed-1/seq-2.pdf) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85066387/1896-11-18/ed-1/seq-3/) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn94056415/1897-02-02/ed-1/seq-1/) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82016014/1897-04-02/ed-1/seq-1/) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85052118/1897-04-29/ed-1/seq-2.pdf) - [chroniclingamerica.loc.gov](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1897-03-16/ed-1/seq-7.pdf) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haydon_article,_Aurora,_Texas,_UFO_incident,_1897.jpg) - [history.nebraska.gov](https://history.nebraska.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/doc_publications_NH1979UFOs.pdf) --- Page: Kenneth Arnold Mount Rainier Case File (/documents/1947-kenneth-arnold-mount-rainier-case-file) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Kenneth Arnold Mount Rainier Case File Case File Project Blue Book Arnold file traces the sighting report, press context, archival provenance, and evidentiary gaps. Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The Kenneth Arnold Mount Rainier case file is the official and near-official document trail for the June 24, 1947 sighting that became the public starting point for the modern American flying-saucer wave.   Source Set The file should be read as a layered source set, not as one single complete investigation packet created on the day of the sighting. The National Archives identifies Project Blue Book as declassified Air Force records covering UFO investigations, including chronological case files, project files, Office of Special Investigations material, finding aids, and 94 rolls of 35 mm microfilm under publication T-1206. NARAs 2019 Blue Book anniversary article places Arnolds report in the Air Force case-file record and identifies a page from the June 24, 1947 Arnold sighting as National Archives Identifier 28929152. The Black Vault mirrors the Arnold Project Blue Book case as a 61-page document archive for the June 24, 1947 Mount Rainier sighting, while the American Heritage Center identifies a related Arnold PDF as copies of Project Blue Book documentation from NARA microfilm T1206, primarily roll 1, preserved in the Richard F. Haines papers. The FBI Vault UFO and Project Blue Book pages are adjacent federal record sets for the broader early UFO file environment, useful for tracing institutional attention but not a separate physical-evidence chain for Arnolds specific observation.   Arnolds Report Arnold was a Boise private pilot and businessman flying in the Washington Cascades while looking for a missing Marine Corps transport plane believed to have gone down near the southwest side of Mount Rainier. His account described nine objects seen near Mount Rainier in the mid-afternoon, moving rapidly in relation to the Cascade peaks. NARAs later summary gives an approximate speed of 1,700 miles per hour, while contemporary Associated Press versions commonly reported Arnolds estimate as about 1,200 miles per hour at roughly 10,000 feet. That speed figure is therefore historically important but not instrument-grade data. The document trail preserves Arnolds timing and distance estimate across mountain landmarks, not radar, photography, recovered material, or another calibrated sensor record.   Newspaper Context The June 25, 1947 East Oregonian item framed Arnolds story as improbable but sincerely asserted, placing him in Pendleton after the Cascade flight and reporting his claim of nine bright, saucer-like aircraft seen at 3 p.m. AP versions printed in other newspapers repeated the Mount Rainier-to-Mount Adams geography, the high estimated speed, and Arnolds inability to identify the objects, helping convert a local pilots account into a national wire story. The phrase that entered popular culture emerged through this reporting layer. NARA summarizes Arnolds media description as objects appearing like saucers skipping on water, and the Chicago Suns June 26 headline shows how quickly "flying saucers" became the shorthand attached to the case. This matters evidentially because the public icon of the saucer is partly a press artifact. The case file and contemporary stories document Arnolds observation and the language used to communicate it, but they do not prove that the objects had the later standardized shape of popular UFO imagery.   Official Handling Arnolds report predates Project Sign and Project Blue Book, so its official handling was retrospective and evolutionary. NARA traces the Air Force investigative sequence from Project Sign in December 1947, to Grudge, to Blue Book in 1952; Hainess CIA history likewise treats Arnolds report as the first public flying-saucer report in the wave that drew military and intelligence attention. NARA describes Blue Book case files as containing observer reports, correspondence, newspaper and magazine clippings, analysis of photographs or physical evidence where present, and control sheets summarizing Air Force conclusions. The Arnold case therefore sits at the beginning of the later Blue Book archive rather than at the beginning of a fully formed June 1947 Blue Book process. The public file proves that Arnolds report was preserved in the official UFO-investigation record; it does not, by itself, establish the identity, origin, or technology of what Arnold reported.   Archive Provenance The Air Force retired its UFO investigation records to the National Archives in 1975, and NARA describes a redaction process for personally identifiable information before the files became available for public research in 1976. NARAs reference page states that the textual records are available through T-1206 microfilm in the National Archives Microfilm Reading Room, while later online access points include NARA catalog/display material, the Black Vaults Arnold case mirror, and the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center copy from the Richard F. Haines papers. This provenance is important because modern readers often encounter the Arnold file through secondary web mirrors. The strongest archive claim is not that every scan is original custody; it is that the mirrored materials point back to NARAs declassified Blue Book microfilm and Air Force records series.   Evidentiary Limits The case file is strong evidence that Arnold made a report, that newspapers amplified it, and that the Air Force later incorporated it into the UFO case-file record. It is weaker as evidence for object identity. The central observation is a single-pilot visual report with variable speed estimates, a reporting vocabulary shaped by early headlines, and no public source trail here showing recovered debris, a contemporaneous photograph, or an instrumented radar track tied to Arnolds nine objects. The balanced reading is therefore historical rather than conclusive: the Arnold file anchors the origin story of the U.S. flying-saucer era and the later Air Force archive, while leaving the underlying aerial stimulus unresolved within the public documentary record.   References   References - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/news/articles/project-blue-book-50th-anniversary) - [theblackvault.com](https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/project-blue-book-the-kenneth-arnold-ufo-sighting-mt-rainier-washington-june-24-1947/) - [wyominghistoryday.org](https://www.wyominghistoryday.org/index.php/theme-topics/collections/items/project-10073-record-witness-kenneth-arnold-june-24-1947) - [vault.fbi.gov](https://vault.fbi.gov/UFO) - [vault.fbi.gov](https://vault.fbi.gov/Project%20Blue%20Book%20%28UFO%29%20/Project%20Blue%20Book%20%28UFO%29%20Part%2001%20%28Final%29/view) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/0005517742) - [ufologie.patrickgross.org](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/press/montrealgazette26jun1947.htm) - [ufologie.patrickgross.org](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/press/eastoregonian25jun1947.htm) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chicago_Sun_1947-06-26-2_Flying_Saucer_headline-th.jpg) --- Page: Twining Memo (/documents/1947-twining-memo) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Twining Memo Memo In 1947, Air Materiel Command chief Nathan Twining affirmed UFO reports merited systematic Air Force investigation Disclosure Rating — 8/10 On July 30 1947 Brigadier General George Schulgen asked Air Materiel Command for an appraisal of the fast-moving "flying discs" then alarming defense planners. Nathan Twining and his T-2 intelligence engineers gathered radar plots, pilot interviews, and technical evaluations, producing the reply dated September 23 1947. The memorandum opens with a terse judgment: the phenomenon is "something real and not visionary or fictitious."   Technical Observations Witness data distilled at Wright Field pointed to distinctive performance traits: - Circular planform with estimated diameters of 15–30 meters - Dome-shaped canopy on the upper surface, absent tail assemblies - Bright metallic finish, often accompanied by a blue-white glow along the rim - Near-silent propulsion during level flight - Rapid climb, abrupt acceleration, and tight banking without stall Engineers dismissed meteorological balloons and conventional aircraft. They weighed three working hypotheses: a classified domestic project, a Soviet development, or an unknown natural phenomenon. None could be confirmed within the evidence available in 1947.   Institutional Response Twining directed that all commands adopt a standard sighting form, forward material debris to Wright Field, and keep photographic negatives for technical study. His recommendations shaped Project Sign in January 1948 and set the framework followed by Project Grudge and Project Blue Book over the next two decades.   Archival Trail The memo circulated under security classification "SECRET" until the late-1960s Blue Book declassification review. Higher-resolution scans reached scholars in the 1970s through Freedom of Information Act requests. The carbon original now rests in National Archives Record Group 342, Entry 214, Box 273.   Scholarly Assessment Historians such as Michael Swords and David Jacobs treat the memorandum as a policy watershed: senior Air Force leadership publicly conceded that unconventional aerial objects demanded sustained technical analysis, even while their origin remained unknown. The single sentence "real and not visionary" continues to inform debates inside contemporary defense and scientific communities.   References - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/mantellcomp.htm) - [s3.documentcloud.org](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20797978/twining-memo.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/docs/twining_letter.pdf) - [catalog.archives.gov](https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6046218) --- Page: Alloys of Plutonium with Aluminum (/documents/1950-alloys-of-plutonium-with-aluminum) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Alloys of Plutonium with Aluminum Report Report details plutonium-aluminum alloy phases, mechanical properties, and fabrication for early nuclear metallurgy Disclosure Rating — 7/10 Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory metallurgist R.

OSI analysts examined 1,500 official cases—twenty percent unexplained—alongside radar logs, foreign press coverage, and consultant testimony.   Findings Key FindingDetailsRisk CategoriesMass psychology: Unfiltered sightings could fuel panic or be used in adversary propaganda. Air defense: Radar operators might misclassify real Soviet aircraft as phantoms or overwhelm warning nets with false alarms.ATIC’s Analytical ApproachExplained many cases as balloons, astronomical bodies, or instrumentation errors, but a persistent residue of high-altitude, high-speed objects remained unexplained.Evidence of U.S. or Soviet HardwareNo evidence found for U.S. or Soviet origin of unknowns, though analysts did not rule out the possibility of novel natural phenomena.   Recommendations OSI urged the Director of Central Intelligence to: - Inform the National Security Council and seek an interagency program for immediate scientific study of unidentified objects. - Coordinate with the Psychological Strategy Board on public messaging to prevent hysteria and to evaluate potential information warfare uses. - Commission independent panels of physicists, radar specialists, and atmospheric scientists—Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Project Lincoln was proposed—to draft research priorities and detection standards.   Impact The 24 September and 2 October 1952 memoranda intensified federal attention, leading to the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel in January 1953. Although the panel later minimized the strategic threat, OSI’s review framed unidentified aerial phenomena as a national-level intelligence and defense issue rather than mere Air Force housekeeping. --- Page: Robertson Panel Report (/documents/1952-robertson-panel-report) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Robertson Panel Report Report In 1953 CIA-led scientists judged UFOs nonthreatening and urged media debunking to protect air-defense readiness Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The unprecedented surge of UFO sightings during 1952, culminating in consecutive radar incursions over Washington National Airport, triggered CIA concern that false alarms could overload air-defense channels. Deputy Director of Intelligence H. Marshall Chadwell secured Intelligence Advisory Committee approval to assemble a scientific review in January 1953.   Panel composition Physicist Howard P. Robertson chaired a five-day classified meeting in Washington. Participants included: - Luis W. Alvarez, University of California physicist and radar pioneer - Lloyd V. Berkner, Carnegie Institution geophysicist - Samuel A. Goudsmit, Brookhaven National Laboratory nuclear physicist - Thornton L. Page, Johns Hopkins Operations Research astrophysicist - J. Allen Hynek, Air Force consultant astronomer (presenter, non-signatory) CIA officer Frederick C. Durant served as secretary, while Project Blue Book chief Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt briefed the group.   Evidence examined The panel studied twenty-three representative cases, including the Tremonton, Utah motion-picture sequence, the Great Falls, Montana film, and radar-visual tracks from the July 1952 Washington incidents. Navy photo-interpretation specialists, Air Force meteorologists, and radar operators supplied technical analyses. The scientists also reviewed Project TWINKLE instrumentation data and preliminary statistics from Battelle Memorial Institute.   Findings After twelve hours of deliberation the panel reached three principal conclusions. - No direct national-security threat existed; most reports stemmed from misidentified aircraft, balloons, astronomical bodies, birds, or radar interference. - The public frenzy itself posed an indirect hazard by saturating reporting circuits and offering adversaries a channel for psychological warfare. - Nothing in the files demanded revision of established physical theory. The group declared the Tremonton images "almost certainly sea-gull reflections" and dismissed the Great Falls lights as aircraft sun-glint.   Policy recommendations Robertsons report urged a coordinated public-education effort to strip UFOs of mystery. It advocated: - production of film shorts and television segments using resolved cases, preferably in partnership with Disney or similar producers; - enhanced visual and radar recognition training for air-defense and civilian controllers; - discreet monitoring of civilian UFO societies for potential subversion.   Influence on U.S. policy Within months the Air Force issued Air Regulation 200-2 constraining public releases, while Joint Army-Navy-Air Publication 146 imposed penalties for unauthorized disclosure. Project Blue Book adopted a markedly skeptical stance, and CIA interest retreated to passive monitoring. Debunking remained official practice until the 1966 congressional pressure that produced the Condon Committee.   Declassification and reassessment The report stayed classified until a 1975 CIA release. Historians continue to debate whether twelve hours of review justified sweeping conclusions; nevertheless, the document shaped two decades of federal posture toward UFOs.   References - [documents.theblackvault.com](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp86r00508r001900160016-3) - [documents.theblackvault.com](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/robertson-panel.htm) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/static/a1c56b5e5ce08dd3824fc5a05f415166/cia-role-study-ufos.pdf) - Haines, G.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 Washington National Airport Radar Files is the source set for the July 1952 Washington, D.C. radar-visual incidents, centered on Project Blue Book Case 1661 and related Civil Aeronautics Administration, Air Force, and CIA records.   Record Provenance The National Archives identifies Project Blue Book as the declassified U.S. Air Force UFO investigation record set, including 37 cubic feet of chronological case files and access through 94 rolls of 35mm microfilm. The T1206 microfilm guide places case numbers 1495 through 1673, covering July 19 through July 28, 1952 from Rock Island, Illinois to Washington, D.C., on roll 12, which is the archival neighborhood for the Washington National radar sequence. The circulated Case 1661 scan identifies itself as Project Blue Book Case 1661, box 35, Record Group 341, Records of the U.S. Air Force, and describes the file as "Washington National Sightings" for July 1952. CUFONs Washington National Sightings File states that its page contains the text of Project Blue Book Case 1661 obtained from NARA, the CAA radar technical report, and a reference list, making it a near-primary finding aid rather than a single-origin government release.   Incident Origin The core Air Force narrative begins with unidentified targets on the night of July 26-27, 1952, observed on Air Route Traffic Control Center and tower radar at Washington National Airport and on Andrews AFB approach-control radar, with visual reports also reaching Andrews, Bolling, and the ARTC center from commercial and CAA aircraft. The report explicitly warns that it could not collect all facts into one report: two F-94 interceptor flights had been dispatched from New Castle, Delaware, but their official reports had not reached the office, and the commercial and CAA pilots who reported visual observations had not yet been contacted. The file also preserves retrospective comparison with the earlier July 19-20 weekend, noting that controllers considered the later returns more haphazard but also said unidentified returns had never before appeared in such quantities, over such duration, and with such definition as on the nights of July 19-20 and July 26-27. Project 1947s chronology is useful as an independent source index because it separates AFOSI, Air Force Intelligence, CAA, and NICAP-derived entries, placing the July 19-20 and July 26-27 Washington-area radar-visual reports inside a broader July 1952 wave.   Radar and Witness Contents Case 1661 describes varying numbers of targets, up to 12 simultaneously, on ARTC radar, with CAA personnel calling many returns generally solid and similar to aircraft returns except slower; the equipment is listed as VG-2 radar at ARTC and ASR-1 radar in the tower. Named CAA radar crew and controller personnel in the file include Austin M. Stapf, Lloyd Sykes, James M. Ritchey, Harry Barnes, James M. Copeland, Stewart Dawson, Phil Ceconi, Mike Senkow, and Jerome Biron, with the report characterizing the group as serious, conscientious, sincere, and fairly reliable. The 2130 EDT tower transcript records Washington Tower telling Andrews Tower that a large target was crossing near Andrews, with Andrews reporting additional targets northeast and south of the field while the center worked a National Airlines aircraft around targets. The strongest internal tension in the file is meteorological: Lt. Holcomb checked the airport weather station and found a slight surface-to-1000-foot temperature inversion, but he judged that the targets then visible on the scope were not caused by that inversion and requested a second intercept flight. Later statements from Andrews AFB record that most witnesses saw targets on radar rather than visually, with one Andrews radar operator describing numerous targets coordinated with Washington ARTC, erratic courses, stops, reversals, brief accelerations, and sudden disappearances and reappearances several miles along the same course.   Explanation Track The CAAs May 1953 Technical Development Report No. 180, by Richard C. Borden and Tirey K. Vickers, investigated unidentified moving targets observed on CAA air traffic control radars through interviews, official records, and first-hand observations on Washington MEW and Indianapolis ASR-2 radar. That report concluded that many such radar targets correlated with surface temperature inversions and were probably secondary radar-beam reflections produced by localized refracting areas moving with wind near inversion levels. The CAA report is important but not equivalent to the whole case file: CUFON notes that it concentrates on the previous Washington weekend and August 1952 observations rather than the more famous July 26 sequence preserved in Case 1661. The official Air Force after-position, as summarized by NARAs Project Blue Book fact sheet, was broader than this incident: Blue Book closed with no finding that unidentified reports showed a national-security threat, advanced technology beyond present science, or extraterrestrial vehicles.   Official and Intelligence Afterlife The July 29, 1952 Pentagon press conference by Maj. Gen. John A. Samford became part of the later Blue Book administrative file set; the T1206 guide lists a "Press Conference - Gen. Sanford 1952" folder in the administrative files, and a public-domain transcript copy is separately preserved on Wikimedia Commons. CIA historian Gerald K. Haines later summarized the Washington episode as a July 1952 alarm point for the Truman administration: radar scopes at Washington National and Andrews tracked blips on July 19-20, the blips reappeared on July 27, interceptors found nothing, and the Air Force offered temperature inversions as a possible explanation. The CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel placed the Washington, D.C. area case of July 19, 1952 among significant sightings discussed in detail, then concluded that no direct national-security threat was evident while warning that UFO reporting could overload defense and communication channels. For this archive, the source value is not that the file proves a single physical object or a single weather effect. Its value is that it preserves a traceable chain: contemporaneous radar-controller reports, tower-to-tower dialogue, named CAA personnel, Andrews statements, intercept handling notes, weather checks, and later official explanation channels in one auditable source family.   References   References - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [fold3.com](https://www.fold3.com/pdf/T1206.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/docs/Project.Blue.Book.Case.1661.%28CUFON%29.pdf) - [cufon.org](https://cufon.org/cufon/wash_nat/wash1952.htm) - [project1947.com](https://www.project1947.com/fig/1952d.htm) - [cufon.org](https://cufon.org/cufon/wash_nat/wash_faa.htm) - [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:General_Samford_Press_Conference,_July_29,_1952.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) - [documents.theblackvault.com](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf) --- Page: Air Force Regulation 200-2 (1953 UFO reporting policy) (/documents/1953-air-force-regulation-200-2) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Air Force Regulation 200-2 (1953 UFO reporting policy) USAF Policy USAF Regulation 200-2 standardized UFO reporting, assigned ATIC analysis, and later narrowed public disclosure rules through revisions. Disclosure Rating — 8/10 Air Force Regulation 200-2 was the U.S. Air Forces 1953 baseline policy for reporting and evaluating unidentified flying objects, issued as a department-wide intelligence regulation during Project Blue Books early period.   Origin and issuance Before AFR 200-2, the Air Force used AFL 200-5 (29 April 1952) to require rapid UFO reporting and technical analysis by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson. In the post-Robertson Panel period, the Air Force replaced that letter with AFR 200-2 on 26 August 1953, formalizing definitions, reporting format, and command responsibilities for UFO cases. The 1953 regulation states it was issued by order of the Secretary of the Air Force and bears Chief of Staff Gen. Nathan F. Twinings signature block, identifying senior institutional ownership of the policy.   What the 1953 policy required AFR 200-2 defined a UFO as an airborne object not matching known aircraft or missile types or not positively identifiable as a familiar object. It set two objectives: air defense warning value and technical intelligence value. The regulation assigned ATIC as the central analytic authority and directed commanders across Air Force activities to collect and report sightings, including civilian-origin reports, with rapid electrical reporting followed by written detail. It also required preserving physical and photographic evidence for technical exploitation.   Policy evolution and revisions The 1953 version allowed local public information channels to release basic factual details and confirmed identifications while protecting names, intercept procedures, and classified radar information. The 12 August 1954 revision superseded the 1953 text and tightened release language: Headquarters USAF would release evaluated summaries, local officials could discuss positively identified objects, and for unexplained cases the releasable statement was limited to noting ATIC analysis. Later AFR 200-2 editions continued through the 1950s and early 1960s, and AFR 80-17 (19 September 1966) replaced the AFR 200-2 framework with updated investigation and public-release procedures during the late Blue Book era.   Archival significance NARAs Project Blue Book holdings and related Air Force UFO records preserve the administrative context in which AFR 200-2 operated, documenting how the Air Force institutionalized UFO reporting from ad hoc wartime-style reporting into standardized intelligence workflow.   References   References - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFR%20200-2,%20Aug%20%2026,1953.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFR%20200-2,%20Aug%2012,%201954.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFL200-5,-April.29,1952.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFR%2080-17,%20%20Sept.%2019,%201966,pdf) - [govinfo.gov](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1962-08-21/pdf/FR-1962-08-21.pdf) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/topics/uaps/textual-and-microfilm) --- Page: Durant Report (/documents/1953-durant-report) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Durant Report CIA The official CIA summary of the Robertson Panel findings on UFO phenomena and their implications for national security Disclosure Rating — 8/10   Origins and Context In February 1953, Frederick C. Durant III authored the official report summarizing the findings and recommendations of the Robertson Panels investigation into UFO phenomena. The document emerged from a series of meetings held at the CIAs request to evaluate whether UFO sightings constituted a threat to national security.   Document Contents The Durant Report provided a comprehensive overview of the Robertson Panels six-day review of UFO cases and data. It outlined the panels examination of specific incidents, including the 1952 Washington National Airport sightings and multiple UFO photography cases. The document contained detailed analyses of radar-visual reports and recommendations for handling public interest in UFO phenomena.   Key Findings The report presented several significant conclusions about UFO phenomena: - No evidence of direct threats to national security - Potential indirect risks from misidentification of conventional objects - Concerns about intelligence channels being clogged with UFO reports - Recommendation for systematic debunking of UFO reports - Suggestion to reduce public interest through education programs   Historical Impact The Durant Reports recommendations shaped two decades of government UFO policy. Its emphasis on reducing public interest led to the implementation of Air Force Regulation 200-2, which restricted the release of UFO information. The documents influence extended beyond its immediate publication, affecting how multiple agencies approached the UFO subject through the 1960s and 1970s.   Legacy The reports conclusions continue to generate debate among researchers and historians. While some view it as a turning point toward more restrictive government UFO policies, others see it as a reflection of Cold War security concerns rather than a genuine evaluation of the UFO phenomenon.   References - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300100010-4.pdf) - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300100010-4.pdf) - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300100010-4.pdf) - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300100010-4.pdf) - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300100010-4.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFR%20200-2,%20Aug%20%2026,1953.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) --- Page: Maxwell AFB Intelligence Report (/documents/1954-maxwell-afb-intelligence-report) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Maxwell AFB Intelligence Report Intelligence Air Force officers at Maxwell analyzed UFO sightings, compiling intelligence summaries for headquarters Disclosure Rating — 6/10 In early 1954 the Air Forces Air Defense Command (ADC) tasked intelligence officers of the 29th Air Division, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, with compiling an "Emergency Report" on unidentified flying objects (UFOBs) seen throughout the Southeastern United States. The resulting 19-page intelligence digest (often catalogued today as the "Maxwell AFB Emergency Report" or simply "Maxwell Intelligence Report") summarised 37 sighting incidents logged between January and April 1954. It combined raw field reports forwarded by the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS) with regional radar plots, weather data, and photographic stills.   First contemporaneous example of AFR 200-2 procedures The report is among the earliest surviving documents explicitly prepared under Air Force Regulation 200-2 (issued 12 Aug 1954 but implemented in draft form months earlier). It shows how unit-level intelligence officers triaged incoming UFOB messages, verified instrument data, and forwarded the material to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson AFB.   Bridge between Project Grudge/Blue Book and the 4602d AISS field force The Maxwell summary predates the famous November 1954 conference at Peterson AFB where ATIC scientist Dr. J. Allen Hynek delivered the "UFOB Evaluation Guide" to 4602d personnel. Its format, however, already mirrors the later guide, suggesting an informal exchange of draft criteria.   Early statistical picture - 37 cases: 23 visual, 11 radar-visual, 3 photographic - 75 % were daytime discs; 14 % night lights; 11 % "other" - 57 % were tentatively explained (balloons, aircraft, astronomical); 43 % remained "insufficient data" These ratios align with the larger sample analysed in Air Intelligence Report 100-203-79 (1949) and with the Blue Book master database compiled in 1955.   Contents snapshot PageItemDescription2Figure 1Map showing geographical distribution of sightings in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida5Case AL-540205Multiple-witness daylight disc over Selma, AL; 4602d follow-up; UNSOLVED9Case GA-540318Radar-visual track from Moody AFB GCA scope; conclusion: weather balloon14Photo Plate A35 mm negative of luminous object above Tuskegee Institute   Connection to CIA oversight A 1997 CIA historical study acknowledged that the Agency monitored Air Force reporting channels after the 1953 Robertson Panel. Maxwell AFB served as a convenient archive node because ATIC microfilmed completed investigations there after Blue Books relocation to Wright-Patterson. The Emergency Report appears in CIA/FOIA microfilm roll 30.   Present archival status - Microfilm copy: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) roll T1206, frame 0421 - Paper copy: Maxwell AFB Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA) file K243.01-22 - Digitised PDF: NICAP archive; mirrored by Black Vault and CUFON   Assessment While the Maxwell AFB Intelligence Report contains no single spectacular case, its value lies in documenting the bureaucratic machinery that Blue Book critics often overlook. It demonstrates that: - Field units applied a disciplined, evidence-driven methodology even before Hynek codified his evaluation scale - Roughly half of raw sightings lacked enough data for a conclusion—a data-quality problem that persisted through 1969 - The Air Forces promise (per AFR 200-2) to release unclassified explanations to the public was already being undermined by blanket Confidential markings at the unit level Consequently, historians see the report as a transitional artefact between the ad-hoc investigations of the early 1950s and the more formalised, but still secrecy-shrouded, Blue Book regime.   References - [Department of the Air Force, Air Force Regulation 200-2, "Unidentified Flying Objects Reporting," 12 Aug 1954](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Air_Force_Regulation_200-2,_Unidentified_Flying_Objects_Reporting), pars. 4, 7, and 9. - ["History of 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron, 1 July-31 Dec. 1954," CUFON transcription of declassified unit-history sampler](https://www.cufon.org/cufon/4602smpl4.htm), pp. 12-13; [Black Vault scan, "4602 History UFOs"](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/4602HistoryUFOs.pdf). - [Headquarters U.S. Air Force Directorate of Intelligence and Office of Naval Intelligence, Air Intelligence Report No. 100-203-79, "Analysis of Flying Object Incidents in the U.S.," 10 Dec. 1948, surviving copy dated 28 Apr. 1949](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/100-203-79.pdf); [Air Technical Intelligence Center, "Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14," 5 May 1955, CIA Reading Room release mirrored by The Black Vault](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/CIA-RDP81R00560R000100060001-5.pdf). - [Gerald K.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The RB-47 electronic intelligence case file centers on a July 17, 1957 Air Force reconnaissance-training flight whose evidence chain later passed through Air Defense Command, Air Technical Intelligence Center, Project Blue Book, the University of Colorado UFO Project, James E. McDonalds AIAA reconstruction, and subsequent archival scans.   File Provenance The National Archives identifies Project Blue Book as the declassified U.S. Air Force UFO investigation record set, with chronological case files available through 94 rolls of 35mm microfilm and supporting finding aids indexed by sighting date and location. The Black Vaults RB-47 Project Blue Book entry publishes a 57-page scan of the case-file material and describes the incident as a July 17, 1957 RB-47H encounter during a 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing training mission from Forbes Air Force Base. The scan preserves the Project 10073 record-card layer, Air Defense Command correspondence, the Airborne Observers Data Sheet path, and the later Blue Book closure material that made the file traceable after the original 1957 handling became difficult to reconstruct. McDonalds AIAA article states that the surviving file components included a three-page TWX from the 745th ACWRON at Duncanville, Texas, a four-page summary by E. T. Piwetz of the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, and a 12-page Airborne Observers Data Sheet prepared by Major Lewis D. Chase on September 10, 1957. McDonald further states that the ADC-to-Blue Book forwarding on November 17, 1957 was evidently Project Blue Books first notification of the case, while his article also notes that the University of Colorado study initially failed to locate the case files because the date had been misindexed or misread.   Flight and Observers The event originated during a composite RB-47 mission involving gunnery exercises over the Texas-Gulf area, navigation over the Gulf of Mexico, and electronic-countermeasures work on the return across the south-central United States. The crew named in McDonalds reconstruction was Lewis D. Chase as pilot, James H. McCoid as co-pilot, Thomas H. Hanley as navigator, John J. Provenzano as No. 1 monitor, Frank B. McClure as No. 2 monitor, and Walter A. Tuchscherer as No. 3 monitor. The most important instrumentation distinction is that the RB-47s direction-finding receivers were passive ELINT receivers rather than radar transmitters, so their relevant role was receiving and bearing-analyzing external radar-like signals rather than painting an object by reflection. McDonalds account identifies McClures No. 2 system as an ALA-6 direction-finding receiver feeding APR-9 and ALA-5 equipment, while Provenzanos No. 1 position used an APD-4 direction-finding system and Tuchscherers lower-frequency No. 3 monitor did not become a central signal channel.   Multi-Sensor Chain The first reported ELINT anomaly occurred shortly after the aircraft crossed the Mississippi coast near Gulfport, when McClures No. 2 monitor detected a radar-like signal later characterized around 2,995 to 3,000 Mc/s, two-microsecond pulse width, 600-cycle pulse repetition frequency, four-rpm sweep rate, and vertical polarity. The direction-finding behavior mattered because McDonald says a fixed ground radar approached from one side should move down-scope as the aircraft passes, while McClures initially observed signal moved up-scope and then across in a way he judged inconsistent with a simple fixed ground source. At 1010Z near 32-00N, 91-28W, Chase and McCoid reported a very intense white or blue-white light crossing rapidly from about the 11 oclock position to the 2:30 position before disappearing. After that visual passage, McClure reacquired a strong roughly 3,000 Mc/s signal from the same relative bearing where the light had disappeared, and Provenzanos No. 1 monitor also reportedly acquired a signal from that bearing after equipment checks against known ground stations. As the aircraft crossed Louisiana toward eastern Texas, the reported signal held or changed relative bearing in a manner the crew interpreted as keeping station with or moving relative to the RB-47 rather than behaving like ordinary ground radar geometry. Near the Duncanville, Texas radar-coverage area, Chase contacted the 745th ACWRON site known as Utah, and the 1957 intelligence-summary sequence records visual, ELINT, and ground-radar events in the Dallas-Fort Worth region between approximately 1039Z and 1058Z. The strongest internal evidentiary claim in the case file is the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing intelligence judgment that the electronic direction-finding bearings coincided with Chases visual observations numerous times, indicating that the observed object was the signal source. The most cited simultaneity episode occurred during Chases pursuit and dive near Mineral Wells, Texas, when the visual light, the No. 2 ELINT signal, and Utah ground-radar contact reportedly disappeared together and then reappeared in a new phase of the encounter. The northbound return leg kept the case open because the intelligence-summary sequence records the No. 2 direction-finding signal off the aircraft tail until about 1140Z, when the RB-47 was approximately abeam Oklahoma City and the signal faded abruptly.   Explanation Track Project Blue Books final administrative explanation identified the Dallas-Fort Worth observation as an airliner, with McDonald reporting the official file language as an American Airlines Flight 655 identification connected to a separate near-collision near Salt Flats, Texas. The University of Colorado Case 5 abstract separately concluded that the described B-47 encounter involved visual light, airborne radar-monitoring receivers, and ground radar, but that the phenomenon remained unidentified because the project could not locate the original records during its investigation. The NTIS record for the Colorado projects 1969 report identifies Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects as a U.S. government-sponsored technical report produced under Air Force contract F44620-67-C-0035, placing the Condon material in an official-review chain rather than a private-only commentary stream. McDonalds AIAA publication revised the Colorado-era record by stating that he later located case files, corrected the date problem, interviewed crew members, and presented the case as a sample selected by the AIAA UFO Subcommittee for technical review. Brad Sparks later NICAP-hosted update should be treated as subsequent analytical critique rather than original case evidence, but it is useful for flagging disputed compass-heading, Duncanville-radar, and airliner-identification issues that shape modern readings of the Blue Book closure.   Evidentiary Value and Limits The case is unusually strong as an evidence-chain document because it combines named military crew, passive ELINT direction finding, cockpit visual observations, ground-radar coordination, ADC reporting, Blue Book administrative closure, and later scientific-review attempts in one recoverable record family. The same file is limited because the strongest surviving public record is a chain of reports, summaries, interviews, and scans rather than original raw scope film, wire recordings, or complete post-flight intelligence exploitation products. For this archive, the documents value is not that it proves a final object identity, but that it preserves how an ELINT-centered military case moved from an in-flight multi-sensor event to an official aircraft explanation and then into contested technical reassessment.   References   References - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [theblackvault.com](https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/project-blue-book-the-rb-47-ufo-incident-july-17-1957/) - [documents2.theblackvault.com](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/projectbluebook/ProjectBlueBook-RB47-July17-1957.pdf) - [kirkmcd.princeton.edu](https://kirkmcd.princeton.edu/JEMcDonald/mcdonald_aa_9_7_66_71.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/reports/en1.htm) - [files.ncas.org](https://files.ncas.org/condon/text/case05.htm) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/reports/570717RB47_report.htm) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/reports/rb47_update_sparks.htm) - [ntrl.ntis.gov](https://ntrl.ntis.gov/NTRL/dashboard/searchResults/titleDetail/AD680977.xhtml) --- Page: Trindade Island Photographic Case File (1958) (/documents/1958-trindade-island-photographic-case-file) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Trindade Island Photographic Case File (1958) Photographic Evidence Brazilian Navy and archival records trace Trindade photographs, official handling, public release, and evidentiary disputes. Disclosure Rating — 7/10 The Trindade Island photographic case file is best read as a record set, not one clean dossier: a Brazilian Navy island-and-shipboard episode, congressional information requests, press publication, later national-archive custody questions, and U.S. intelligence indexing around four disputed photographs taken from NE Almirante Saldanha on January 16, 1958.   Source Set The Brazilian Navy archival catalog lists an item titled "Relatorio de Fim de Comissao" under Posto Oceanografico da Ilha da Trindade, reference RJDPHDM POIT-AM-G-REL, covering November 1, 1957 through January 16, 1958 and described as containing possible reports of unidentified flying object sightings. The broader Brazilian public-record setting is the Arquivo Nacionals Fundo Objeto Voador Nao Identificado, identified by the archive as a collection produced by the Brazilian Air Force command and held by the National Archive, with reports, questionnaires, correspondence, photographs, drawings, videos, audio, and press clippings from 1952 through 2016. Those two custody lanes matter because the Trindade file problem is partly institutional: the Navy controlled the island and generated the most relevant 1957-1958 operational records, while later disclosure activity and public finding aids also ran through Air Force and national-archive channels.   Naval and Island Context Official Navy material places Trindade under continuous Brazilian Navy occupation from the creation of the Posto Oceanografico da Ilha da Trindade in 1957, during the International Geophysical Year period in which the Navy operated the outpost and supported scientific work on the remote South Atlantic island. That setting is why the photographs became more than a private curiosity. The reported camera event occurred from a Brazilian Navy ship at a Navy-controlled island, with a civilian photographer aboard during an oceanographic and logistical mission rather than at an ordinary civilian shoreline.   Photographic Origin Near-primary case accounts identify Almiro Barauna as the civilian photographer and describe him as an underwater or submarine photographer aboard NE Almirante Saldanha when a reported object was seen near Trindade on January 16, 1958. The CIA-preserved NICAP summary states that Barauna made four successful photographs after Jose Teobaldo Viegas and Amilar Vieira Filho alerted him, and it names Homero Ribeiro among those later said to have seen the object during the commotion on deck. The same NICAP summary gives the camera data as a Rolleiflex 2.8 Model E, 1/125 second at f/8, and says the photographic negatives were reported as normal by the Navy Photo Reconnaissance Laboratory and the Cruzeiro do Sul Aerophotogrammetric Service. Those laboratory claims are evidentiary but not equivalent to a complete public custody chain. The surviving public record mostly preserves summaries, press accounts, scans, and later arguments, not a complete Navy lab packet with original negatives, test sheets, witness statements, and all handling notes in one accessible folder.   Official Handling The congressional trail began quickly. In the Diario do Congresso Nacional record for March 19, 1958, Deputy Sergio Magalhaes asked the Navy Ministry whether Almirante Saldanha personnel had seen the object, why crew or other witness depositions had not been taken, and whether the photographs were developed under official supervision. The later RIC 679/2011 filing describes that 1958 request as RIC 2957/1958, says it was sent to the Ministry of the Navy by Chamber office letter 00186 dated March 20, 1958, and asks why the Navys answers were absent from the declassified 1950s material sent to the Arquivo Nacional regional coordination office. RIC 679/2011 also lists a wider Navy document trail reportedly associated with the Trindade occurrence, including a Navy Intelligence Department notice about UFO observations between December 5, 1957 and January 16, 1958, a February 13, 1958 operational-command letter, radio communication 0012/312335, a January 16 document to the oceanographic post commander, U.S. naval attache correspondence, and a March 3, 1958 high-command communication to the Navy Minister.   Public Release and Dispute The public story moved through newspapers before the archival chain was settled. NICAPs CIA-preserved summary says the photographs were first publicized by the Brazilian press on February 21, 1958 and cites a February 25 United Press report that Navy Minister Adm. Antonio Alves Camara vouched for their authenticity after meeting President Juscelino Kubitschek. Donald Menzel and Lyle Boyds skeptical account preserves a different official tone, quoting Navy Ministry statements that framed the Navys connection narrowly, said Barauna was a civilian aboard the ship, and described the Ministry as investigating the sightings and photographs rather than endorsing a flying-saucer conclusion. Olavo Fontess APRO/NICAP account preserves still another important official-public formulation: a Navy Ministry release said the pictures had been taken by Barauna as a Navy guest in the presence of personnel from Almirante Saldanha, while also stating that the Navy could not pronounce on the nature of the object. That evolution explains why Trindade became evidentiary and controversial at the same time. The case combined a Navy vessel, named participants, claimed negative examination, press release, and legislative pressure, but the public record also quickly split between authenticity claims, official caution, and allegations that the images could have been staged by a skilled photographer.   U.S. File Afterlife The Project Blue Book desk scan gives the U.S. Air Force record layer a more skeptical shape. Its Project 10073 record card lists Trindade Island, January 16, 1958, local noon, with photos and a military source, but the comments say the Brazilian Navy refused an official statement to the U.S. center, that copies of the photos had not been obtained, and that Office of Naval Intelligence analysis considered the photos a hoax. The same scan includes ATIC wording that analysis of the Brazil picture led to the conclusion that it was probably a hoax, showing that the U.S. archival treatment did not convert the Brazilian press and Navy-context story into accepted photographic proof. NICAPs later CIA-preserved treatment went the opposite way, presenting Trindade as one of the potentially most significant UFO photographic series and calling for fuller public release of Brazilian laboratory reports and U.S. Air Force investigation material.   Evidentiary Value and Limits For this archive, the Trindade record set is strongest as an evidence-chain problem: it documents a named photographer, a Navy ship, a Navy-controlled island, formal congressional questions, later Navy-document retrieval concerns, and a traceable U.S. Blue Book/ONI evaluation layer. It is weakest where a photographic case most needs strength: the public file does not provide a clean original-negative custody package, complete Navy lab workup, full sworn witness set, or a single uncontested official conclusion that resolves whether the images show an unknown object or a constructed scene. The balanced reading is therefore archival rather than sensational. The Trindade photographs became important because Brazilian official settings and public statements made them look unusually evidentiary, while subsequent record gaps, skeptical analyses, and competing summaries kept the file from becoming settled proof of object identity.   References   References - [arquivodamarinha.dphdm.mar.mil.br](https://www.arquivodamarinha.dphdm.mar.mil.br/index.php/objeto-voador-nao-identificado?listLimit=100&listPage=2&onlyDirect=1&sort=alphabetic&sortDir=asc) - [imagem.camara.leg.br](https://imagem.camara.leg.br/Imagem/d/pdf/DCD19MAR1958.pdf) - [camara.leg.br](https://www.camara.leg.br/proposicoesWeb/prop_mostrarintegra?codteor=891762&filename=RIC+679%2F2011) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp81r00560r000100010001-0) - [documents.theblackvault.com](https://documents.theblackvault.com/bluebookdesk/16Jan1958-Trinidade-Island.pdf) - [gov.br](https://www.gov.br/arquivonacional/pt-br/canais_atendimento/imprensa/noticias/conheca-o-fundo-sobre-ovnis-do-arquivo-nacional) - [marinha.mil.br](https://www.marinha.mil.br/secirm/pt-br/psrm/protrindade) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/fontesarticle.htm) - [gutenberg.org](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/66639/old/66639-h/66639-h.htm) --- Page: Gods or Spacemen? (/documents/1964-gods-or-spacemen) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Gods or Spacemen? Book 1964 book alleging ancient Eastern legends recall extraterrestrial rulers and sky wars. W. Raymond Drake’s Gods or Spacemen? (1964) proposes that many civilisations of the ancient East preserved real accounts of advanced extraterrestrial visitors; Drake argues that these “space kings” ruled early humanity, fought high-tech sky wars, built megalithic monuments and were later worshipped as deities. The book appeared four years before Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods?, positioning Drake as an early voice in the ancient-astronaut genre. Across sixteen chapters he surveys myths, epics and archaeological puzzles from India to Babylon, weaving them into a single narrative of past interplanetary contact. Supporters hail his vast compilation of legends, while critics fault speculative leaps and lack of primary philology; nonetheless the title helped seed later UFO-centric popular history. Author and Historical Context Drake (1913-1989) was a British Fortean researcher who published nine ancient-astronaut books after decades of independent study in newspaper libraries. Gods or Spacemen?—his debut—ran roughly 240 pages and was issued by Neville Spearman in London, later reprinted by Sphere and in the United States. Drake framed the work as a challenge to “geocentric science” and a bridge between modern space research and mythic history, reflecting early-1960s public fascination with both UFO reports and the Space Race. Structure and Scope The official contents outline sixteen thematic chapters that move from cosmology to regional case studies and a closing synthesis.

Principal Claims Drake contends that legends describing vimanas, fiery chariots, “weapons that could turn day into night,” and celestial rulers are garbled memories of spaceship technology, nuclear devices and alien governance. He links global flood myths and tectonic cataclysms to collateral damage from ancient sky wars, suggesting that survivors later regressed to barbarism yet retained cultural memories of their former mentors. Evidence Marshalled The narrative draws on Sanskrit epics (Mahābhārata, Rāmāyaṇa), Tibetan and Chinese annals, Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and selected Biblical passages, pairing them with mid-twentieth-century UFO sightings and Soviet–American space-probe data to argue for historical consistency of aerospace motifs. Drake supplements literary excerpts with references to megalithic engineering, asteroid craters and meteoritic amino-acid finds as physical traces of extraterrestrial contact. Reception and Influence Mainstream archaeology and philology rejected the book for methodological looseness and heavy reliance on translation fragments, yet it attracted a niche readership evidenced by later reprints and ongoing user reviews on Goodreads and other reseller platforms. Early UFO writers such as Brinsley Le Poer Trench cited Drake, and the work helped set the stage for von Däniken’s commercial breakthrough. Criticisms and Legacy Scholars point to selective quotation and absence of linguistic context, while skeptics fault the assumption that myth equals reportage. Nevertheless, the book remains a touchstone within ancient-astronaut circles for its wide sweep of Eastern source material and its attempt to correlate early space-age science with global legendry.   References - [Lynn E.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The Exeter, New Hampshire Project Blue Book file preserves the official Air Force record family for the September 2-3, 1965 police-witness case involving Norman J. Muscarello, Exeter patrolmen Eugene F. Bertrand Jr. and David R. Hunt, Pease Air Force Base, and Project Blue Books unidentified classification.   File Provenance The National Archives identifies Project Blue Book as the declassified U.S. Air Force UFO investigation record set, with chronological case files and administrative records transferred for public research after the program closed in 1969. NARAs current UAP textual-and-microfilm guide places the sanitized Project Blue Book case files in Record Group 341 and identifies the series as National Archives Identifier 597821, while also listing related Blue Book administrative, OSI, artifact, and Air Force command records. The T1206 microfilm guide describes Blue Book access through 94 rolls of 35mm microfilm and places the September 3, 1965 Exeter case inside the late-summer 1965 chronological range rather than as an isolated special release. The circulated Exeter scan is a 131-page Project Blue Book packet titled 1965-09-9373271-Exeter-NewHampshire; Internet Archive identifies the author as the U.S. Air Force, while Wikimedia Commons identifies Project Blue Book as the author and traces the file source to Internet Archive Blue Book collections. UFOScans indexes the same file as a Project 10073 record for Exeter, New Hampshire, classifies the official assessment as unidentified, and summarizes the source file as a Foreign Technology Division, Air Force Systems Command initial report and supporting record packet. NICAP preserves a separate document index for resized Blue Book frames from the Exeter file, including statements by Bertrand, Hunt, and Muscarello, Raymond E. Fowler data sheets, press clippings, correspondence, and Air Force evaluation material.   Witness Origin The story originated in the file as a small local sequence rather than a single anonymous rumor: Bertrands statement begins with a distressed female motorist on Route 108 near Exeter, Muscarellos statement begins with five bright red lights over Route 150 about three miles southwest of Exeter, and the police statements then converge when Bertrand returned to the field with Muscarello. Muscarellos signed statement says he was hitchhiking on Route 150 at about 2:00 a.m. on September 3, saw five bright red lights in a line at roughly a 60-degree angle, watched them move over a field, and later reported the episode to the Exeter Police Department. Bertrands statement says he first found the upset motorist before returning to the station, then accompanied Muscarello back to the reported site, where he saw five bright red lights emerge from behind trees, move over the field, produce no sound or vibration, and alarm nearby farm animals. Hunts statement says Bertrand called him to the area at about 2:55 a.m., after which Hunt observed bright red lights flashing in sequence over a field southeast of the witnesses before the lights moved away at an estimated altitude near 100 feet. The official file therefore anchors the cases origin in three named witness statements, immediate police action, and Pease Air Force Base notification, not merely in later magazine, book, or festival retellings.   Air Force Handling Pease Air Force Base handled the first military layer through the 817th Combat Support Group and submitted an Initial Report of Unidentified Flying Object under Air Force Regulation 200-2 to Air Force Systems Commands Foreign Technology Division. Major David H. Griffin, identified in the file as the Pease base disaster control officer and a command pilot, reported that investigators had not arrived at a probable cause, that the three principal observers seemed stable and reliable, and that five Pease B-47 aircraft in the area were not believed to be connected with the sighting. The same initial-report material records a ground-visual observation, bright red lights moving together as one object, an estimated altitude near 100 feet, erratic movement, a departure heading around 160 degrees, clear weather, a surface-to-5,000-foot temperature inversion, and no physical evidence. Project Blue Books explanation track then tested military-aircraft possibilities rather than leaving the first report untouched, including 8th Air Force Operation Big Blast, refueling-area activity, B-47 crew checks, stars and planets, and the possibility of aircraft or night-photography activity in the region. The surviving file shows why the closure stayed unresolved: Blue Book correspondence considered conventional aircraft and exercise explanations plausible in principle, but later summaries noted that no aircraft was placed at the key observation time and the case remained listed as unidentified.   Dispute and Public Evolution The case evolved publicly because the official explanation process became part of the controversy. In December 1965, Bertrand and Hunt wrote to Major Hector Quintanilla Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, objecting that public references to military high-altitude objects, weather inversion, and Operation Big Blast did not fit their close, low, silent observation. Their letter emphasized Bertrands Air Force refueling experience, the officers police-report obligation, the low-altitude character of the sighting, the lack of sound, and the timing gap between the officers observation and the cited exercise window. The Exeter file also accumulated media and civilian-research layers. NICAP-associated Raymond E. Fowler material appears in the Blue Book document trail, and the NICAP index lists Saturday Review, Haverhill Gazette, Saucer News, Flying Saucer Review, and other public-response materials among the related frames. Congressional attention followed during the April 5, 1966 House Armed Services Committee hearing on unidentified flying objects, where Project Blue Book, Major Quintanilla, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Air Force Secretary Harold Brown, and disputed public cases formed the oversight setting into which Exeter had moved. John G. Fullers 1966 public-broadcast appearance for Incident at Exeter shows the next stage of the storys evolution, as the case shifted from police report and Air Force file into a nationally circulated narrative built around interviews, tape-recorded witness accounts, and criticism of official handling.   Source Value and Limits The files value is unusually high because it preserves named police witnesses, signed witness statements, immediate local response, Pease Air Force Base reporting, Project Blue Book correspondence, explanation testing, civilian-research friction, and the administrative unidentified outcome in one auditable packet. The files limits are just as important: it preserves testimony, questionnaires, correspondence, summaries, and clippings, but not photographs, radar tracks, physical traces, recovered material, or a specific conventional aircraft tied to the principal observation. For this archive, the Exeter file matters because it shows how a frightened teenage witness and two police officers produced a durable official record, how the Air Force tried to fit the report against known aircraft and exercises, and how unresolved paperwork became a long-running public dispute rather than a clean answer.   References   References - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/1965-09-9373271-Exeter-NewHampshire) - [upload.wikimedia.org](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Project_Blue_Book_report_-_1965-09-9373271-Exeter-NewHampshire.pdf) - [ufoscans.com](https://www.ufoscans.com/1965-09-9373271-exeter-newhampshire/) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/topics/uaps/textual-and-microfilm) - [fold3.com](https://www.fold3.com/pdf/T1206.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/reports/650903exeter_docs2.htm) - [govinfo.gov](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-89hhrg50066O/pdf/CHRG-89hhrg50066O.pdf) - [americanarchive.org](https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip-528-319s17tr7x) --- Page: Project Blue Book Transition Records (/documents/1966-project-blue-book-transition-records) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Project Blue Book Transition Records Program Evolution Sign records show progression from early openness to Grudge skepticism and Blue Book standardised evidence handling and disclosure rules Disclosure Rating — 7/10 This record traces how [Project Sign](/programs/project-sign), [Project Grudge](/programs/project-grudge), and [Project Blue Book](/programs/project-blue-book) narrowed evidentiary standards as UFO reporting became a managed administrative process.   Sign evidence practices (1948) Project Sign emerged from a 1947 warning that unexplained air reports could carry security implications and required central reporting. Its internal assessments documented a cautious posture: unusual reports were retained, hypotheses remained open, and conclusions were constrained by uncertainty.   Grudge evidence reset (1949–1952) Air Force leadership re-designated Sign as [Project Grudge](/programs/project-grudge) in February 1949, with explicit direction to suppress public alarm while preserving a technical log of sightings. By late 1949 and 1950, Grudge case compilations leaned heavily toward prosaic explanations and reduced emphasis on nontraditional interpretations.   Blue Book integration (1952) In March 1952 the Grudge files were consolidated into [Project Blue Book](/programs/project-blue-book), creating a single review chain at Wright-Patterson and a formalized evidence workflow for filing, classification, and resolution. This workflow placed reproducibility and known-source matching ahead of anecdotal novelty when deciding final case outcomes.   Transition evidence and later review context By 1966 hearings and congressional pressure, Blue Book reporting statistics had become part of a public-confidence debate that directly set up the later Condon review era. The transition path from Sign through Grudge to Blue Book therefore mattered not only for case outcomes, but for how uncertainty itself was officially presented over time.   References   References - [National Archives, "Records of Project Blue Book," Record Group 341.15](https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/341.html#341.15). - [National Archives, "Public Interest in UFOs Persists 50 Years After Project Blue Book Termination," 5 Dec. 2019](https://www.archives.gov/news/articles/project-blue-book-50th-anniversary). - [Nathan F.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 Malmstrom AFB Nuclear Incident Files are the declassified and near-primary record trail around March 1967 claims that UFOs coincided with Minuteman missile shutdowns near Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The strongest public record documents the Echo Flight shutdown on March 16, 1967, while the UFO-report chain and Robert Salas/Oscar Flight shutdown account depend on separate Project Blue Book files, witness testimony, and later source reconstruction.   Record Provenance The central Air Force packet is an 88-page scan of declassified Malmstrom materials containing 341st Strategic Missile Wing histories for 1967 and early 1968, including the Echo Flight incident narrative, engineering-investigation references, and later testing summaries. CUFONs archival presentation ties the release to FOIA work and reproduces a USAF declassification release letter dated August 8, 1995, along with representative pages from the 341st Strategic Missile Wing history and a Strategic Air Command message. The official Air Force fact sheet places the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom, identifies the wings Minuteman mission, and states that the wing had three operational Minuteman squadrons by July 1963 before later expansion created a 200-missile complex. National Archives guidance identifies Project Blue Book as the declassified Air Force UFO-investigation record set, with case files arranged chronologically and accessible through microfilm publication T1206 after the program closed in 1969.   Echo Flight Shutdown The 341st Strategic Missile Wing history states that at 0845 local time on March 16, 1967, all sites in Echo Flight shut down with No-Go indications on channels 9 and 12 of the Voice Reporting Signal Assembly, and that all Echo launch facilities lost strategic alert nearly simultaneously. The same history says no other Wing I configuration lost strategic alert at that time, channel 50 data was collected from E-7 and E-8, and all ten sites were returned to strategic alert without launch-facility equipment replacement. The engineering inquiry cited in the history questioned the launch-control crew, estimated the fault sequence at roughly 10 to 40 seconds, and recorded that SAC Headquarters called in OOAMA support for a complete engineering analysis. The task group described in the file included personnel from OOAMA, Boeing, Autonetics, and 15th Air Force, showing that the shutdown moved immediately from local maintenance handling into contractor and higher-headquarters technical review. The investigation ruled out weather as a contributing factor, recorded no unusual communications-maintenance or PAS activity, and reported a negative 801st Radar Squadron finding for radar or atmospheric interference tied to Echo Flight. The same section also says rumors of UFOs around Echo Flight at the time of the fault were disproven, but the stated basis was questioning a Mobile Strike Team that had checked November Flight launch facilities that morning, making that denial an important record detail rather than a full independent audit of all later witness claims.   Engineering Follow-Up The April-June 1967 history says Boeing testing reproduced a channel 9 and 12 No-Go effect by placing a 30-microsecond, negative 10-to-0-volt square-wave pulse on the Self Test Command line at the C-53P Coupler Logic Drawer interface. The same testing narrative says simulated transformer-failure and power tests at Malmstrom showed no significant noise propagation on the Sensitive Information Network or commercial primary-power lines, and that the cause then appeared to be of EMP or electrostatic nature. The July-September 1967 history again treated adverse power effects as a recurring theory, but said tests conducted to determine that cause had repeatedly led to negative results. The later engineering inspection found no set pattern of loose connections on SIN or ground lines, no arcing, burned areas, or tampering in the interconnecting box, and no major problems with missile-away drawers involved in the incident.   UFO Report Chain The separate Project Blue Book Belt case packet records a March 24, 1967 ground-visual report near Belt, Montana, classified on the Project 10073 record card as unidentified, with no photographs or physical evidence. The transcribed Project Blue Book packet says a truck driver reported a dome-shaped object emitting intense light in a ravine, but that ground and air searches were negative and no evidence was found showing that any craft landed. An unclassified preliminary UFO report in the same packet says Malmstrom agencies received numerous UFO sighting reports between 2100 and 0400 MST in the Great Falls area, including reports of a landing near Belt from several sources that included Cascade County Sheriffs Office deputies. The packet also identifies Lt. Col. Lewis D. Chase as the base UFO investigating officer, documents a sheriffs ground-search plan and Malmstrom helicopter air-search plan, and later says the operations office had no knowledge of equipment malfunctions during the period of reported UFO sightings.   Salas and Oscar Flight Caveats Robert Salass first-person account originated as a witness statement about a Malmstrom launch-control-facility shift in which security personnel allegedly reported lights and a red, silent, saucer-shaped object before missiles went from alert to No-Go status. That account is not the same evidentiary category as the March 16 Echo Flight history: Salas described recollection, subsequent phone calls, FOIA results, and conversations with other crew members, while the declassified Air Force history itself documents Echo Flight but not a matching official Oscar Flight shutdown file. The chronology also changed over time; CUFON notes that earlier versions placed Salas at November Flight, while later research and testimony moved the account to Oscar Flight. NICAPs Oscar Flight directory dates the reported Oscar event to March 24-25, 1967 near Roy, Montana, and explicitly cautions that there is no documentation for the alleged Oscar missile shutdown comparable to the extensive official record for the March 16 Echo shutdown.   Why These Files Matter The files matter because they separate three often-merged strands: a documented strategic-alert loss at Echo Flight, an official Project Blue Book UFO-report packet around Belt and Great Falls, and later witness testimony asserting a second Oscar Flight shutdown. They also preserve the Air Forces own unresolved technical trail: the Echo outage was investigated through SAC, OOAMA, Boeing, Autonetics, and follow-on EMP/power testing, but the public histories did not produce a clean conventional cause. AAROs 2024 historical report shows why the Malmstrom file remains policy-relevant: AARO interviewed former USAF personnel who served around ICBM silos at Malmstrom, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, and Minot between 1966 and 1977, summarized nuclear-site UAP-disruption claims, and said unresolved allegations would be addressed in Volume II. The value of the Malmstrom record is therefore evidentiary discipline, not a simple conclusion: Echo Flight is documented, Belt-area UFO reports are documented separately, and Oscar Flight remains a testimonial claim requiring caveats unless additional official records surface.   References   References - [documents.theblackvault.com](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/malmstromufo.pdf) - [cufon.org](http://www.cufon.org/cufon/malmstrom/malm1.htm) - [af.mil](https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/346869/341st-missile-wing/) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [nicap.org](http://www.nicap.org/docs/670324belt_docs.pdf) - [nicap.org](http://www.nicap.org/reports/670324belt_report2.htm) - [nicap.org](http://www.nicap.org/reports/malmstrom67-3.htm) - [nicap.org](http://www.nicap.org/670324malmstrom_dir.htm) - [media.defense.gov](https://media.defense.gov/2024/Mar/08/2003409233/-1/-1/0/DOPSR-2024-0263-AARO-HISTORICAL-RECORD-REPORT-VOLUME-1-2024.PDF) --- Page: Shag Harbour Canadian Government Files (1967) (/documents/1967-shag-harbour-canadian-government-files) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Shag Harbour Canadian Government Files (1967) Case File Canadian records preserve RCMP witness origins, DND search orders, and unresolved Shag Harbour UFO documentation. Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The Shag Harbour Canadian government files are the surviving federal paper trail for the October 4, 1967 report that an unidentified object descended into the water near Lower Woods Harbour and Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. Library and Archives Canada now groups the case as a dedicated Shag Harbour research list, identifying it as Canadas best-known UFO incident and noting RCMP and Canadian Forces involvement.   File Provenance The core records sit inside Library and Archives Canadas non-meteoric sighting material gathered by the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics and the National Research Council. The series description explains that NRC began collecting UFO sighting reports in 1968 and inherited extant Department of National Defence sighting reports dating from 1965. The relevant 1967 file-level catalog record covers September 8 to October 23, 1967, in RG77, volume 310, microfilm reel T-1744, file UAR/N/126-137, part 13. That custody context matters because the Shag Harbour record chain is DND and Canadian Forces operational paperwork preserved through the later NRC/HIA UFO reporting system. Library and Archives Canadas Shag Harbour list also places the official records beside later books, broadcasts, and memory materials. That list is useful as a modern discovery map, but the evidentiary center remains the contemporary telexes, DND reports, and memoranda.   RCMP-Origin Report The earliest compact record is the October 5, 1967 Canadian Forces telex titled "UFO Report." It identifies the reporting observer as RCMP Corporal Wercicky of Barrington Passage, with six other witnesses known to the RCMP corporal, and gives the location as outside Lower Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia. The telex records a clear, moonless night; a dark object more than 60 feet across; four white lights spaced horizontally; easterly low-altitude movement; rapid descent to the water; a high whistling sound; a bright flash on contact with the water; and one light remaining on the surface before responders could reach it. The same message says a Coast Guard lifeboat and many small boats searched with nil results, gives the last-sighting position as about 43 30.5 N, 65 45 W, and states that other possible leads, including aircraft and flares, had been checked with nil results. It then notes Coast Guard Cutter 101 proceeding to the area with RCMP aboard for a further search based on the reported datum point.   DND Search Handling The Department of National Defence follow-up report, dated October 6, repeats the core chronology in administrative form: at 2345 local time on October 4, RCMP Corporal Wercicky and six other witnesses sighted a large flying object that flew down to the water surface, floated, and sank over an interval of roughly five minutes. That DND report describes the object as more than 60 feet in diameter, carrying four white lights spaced horizontally at about 15-foot intervals. It says Maritime Command had been asked on October 5 to investigate and that one officer and a three-man diving team were on scene aided by Coast Guard Cutter 101. An archival-history synthesis drawing on the same Library and Archives Canada reels cites additional DND messages from October 7, 8, and 9: a helicopter airlift of divers and equipment, two days of underwater search producing nil results, and termination of the search after continued negative results.   Shelburne-Area Follow-Up The official paper trail did not end with the first Shag Harbour splashdown report. A CFB Greenwood memorandum dated October 11, 1967, addressed to the Chief of Defence Staff at Canadian Forces Headquarters, refers to "recent UFO sightings in the Shelburne area" while explaining why no separate action had been taken under CFAO 71-6 reporting procedures. That Shelburne memorandum helps explain how the case evolved in later retellings from a coastal search-and-rescue incident into a broader Shelburne-area story. The document supports official awareness of additional regional sightings, but it does not document recovery of a craft, occupants, or physical debris. For this document entry, the important evolution is therefore narrow and auditable: RCMP-origin witness information entered Canadian Forces reporting on October 5, DND and Maritime Command coordinated a water search, and related Shelburne-area correspondence entered the same archival neighborhood within a week.   Source Value and Limits The files are significant because they use the term "UFO" in official headings, name the RCMP source channel, document a defined maritime search, and explicitly record negative checks for ordinary explanations at the first-report stage. They are also limited. The consulted government scans do not show recovered wreckage, a laboratory analysis, or a final identification. The archival synthesis notes that the surviving Shag Harbour documentation is relatively small and comes primarily from DND and NRC files rather than a complete surviving RCMP case file. Read carefully, the Shag Harbour Canadian government files establish an official unresolved record chain, not a solved crash-recovery record. Their value is the contemporaneous documentation of who reported the event, how authorities searched, and where the story later expanded beyond the first water-entry report.   References   References - [recherche-research.bac-lac.gc.ca](https://recherche-research.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/public/list/43130) - [recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca](https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?idnumber=134925&app=fonandcol) - [recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca](https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?idnumber=1765108&app=fonandcol&resource=folderlist) - [data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca](http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e110/e002749390.jpg) - [data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca](http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e110/e002749391.jpg) - [digitalcollections.trentu.ca](https://digitalcollections.trentu.ca/_flysystem/fedora/2022-04/A_History_of_Canada_s_UFO_Investigation_1950_1995.pdf) - [data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca](http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e110/e002749477.jpg) --- Page: Condon Report (/documents/1968-condon-report) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Condon Report Report University of Colorado study concluding UFOs offered no evidence of extraterrestrial craft Disclosure Rating — 8/10   Project Findings Physicist Edward Condon led a government-funded analysis of major UFO cases from 1966 to 1968.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The Bolender memo is a three-page U.S. Air Force staff memorandum dated October 20, 1969, written during the final review period before Project Blue Book was terminated. Its core function was to evaluate whether Blue Book should continue as a dedicated USAF UFO program after the Colorado study and other Air Force inputs.   Origin For more than two decades, the Air Force had assigned Blue Book responsibility for investigating unidentified flying objects, and the memorandum restated those long-running security and technical objectives before recommending closure. The document explicitly tied its recommendation to post-Condon review logic already circulating in USAF leadership channels in late 1969. The memos most consequential sentence states that UFO reports with potential national security implications were handled under JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11 and were not part of the Blue Book system. That language framed Blue Book as a public-facing investigative program rather than the sole pathway for defense-relevant reporting.   Author And Stated Position The memorandum was signed by Brig. Gen. C. H. Bolender, USAF, identified in the document as Deputy Director of Development within Air Force research and development leadership channels. In the text, Bolender recommended terminating Blue Book and initiating related administrative actions, including cancellation of governing Blue Book regulations. Bolenders argument relied on the position that continuing Blue Book no longer justified resource expenditure, while security reporting mechanisms would persist through existing operational reporting systems. In other words, the memo did not argue that all UFO reporting would stop; it argued that dedicated Blue Book administration should stop.   Reporting Channels And Program Evolution AFM 55-11 (20 May 1968) helps explain the memos reporting-channel claim: its CIRVIS attachment directs rapid reporting of intelligence sightings, including unidentified flying objects, through operational channels and onward to NORAD-linked addressees. The same attachment defines these reports as security-relevant and prioritized, including "FLASH" relay requirements for ground forwarding. JANAP 146(E), promulgated under U.S.-Canadian military communications authority, provided the joint CIRVIS/MERINT framework cited in the memo. That means Bolenders wording pointed to preexisting defense communications doctrine rather than creating a new reporting regime in 1969. On December 17, 1969, the Secretary of the Air Force publicly announced Blue Books termination, and the Air Force position was later preserved in the official fact-sheet text now hosted by NARA. That same official text states that Blue Book regulations were rescinded and records were transferred for archival custody and public review. NARAs catalog entry for the Blue Book administrative series (1947-1969) confirms the long institutional record behind the decision and documents partial online availability plus microfilm publication T1206. The later archival trail is therefore consistent with the memos administrative closeout logic and with the eventual preservation of the program record.   References   References - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/Bolender%20Memo%20Oct%2020,%201969.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/AFM55-11,May20,1968,AirForceOperationalReportingSystem.pdf) - [nicap.org](https://www.nicap.org/directives/JANAP-146E_March%201966.htm) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/military/air-force/ufos) - [catalog.archives.gov](https://catalog.archives.gov/id/595175) --- Page: Travis Walton Official Investigation (/documents/1975-travis-walton-official-investigation) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Travis Walton Official Investigation Case Local and federal investigators documented the alleged abduction of logger Travis Walton in Arizona Disclosure Rating — 5/10   Summary Following Travis Walton’s disappearance near Snowflake, Arizona, sheriff’s deputies, the Forest Service and ufologists interviewed witnesses and searched the woods.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10   Origin and initial reporting On the night of 19 September 1976, Tehran residents and military personnel reported a bright aerial object, and Iranian command officials activated an intercept chain for F-4 Phantoms. The incident was then relayed to U.S. authorities through military intelligence channels with consistent details in the released record. The second F-4 intercept in the same file shows radar lock, communications failure, weapons-control interruption, and recovery of normal systems after withdrawal. The surviving wire and case text both preserve this sequence as central evidence of what pilots experienced.   Official evidence chain and archival transition The U.S. packet records a top-level intelligence circulation path that includes the White House, State Department, CIA, and military leadership offices, showing that the report moved into formal executive and service channels immediately after the encounter. The Joint Chiefs of Staff report follows this chain and records the same operational sequence for oversight purposes. The surviving declassified materials thus form the core primary chain for the case history.   Hearing context and evidentiary evolution There is no known single congressional hearing devoted only to this 1976 event, but congressional hearing infrastructure after 2022 is directly relevant to how legacy UAP files are reviewed publicly, because transcripts and hearing packets now define the oversight path for unresolved historical cases. The hearing period also introduced a formal record framework that determines what parts of older case evidence can be discussed publicly and what remains redacted or withheld. This means the Tehran file remains significant as an archival case while still awaiting further contextual declassification beyond the current chain.   Source quality and remaining gaps The surviving record is strongest in reporting chain and signal observations and weaker in physical corroboration. It establishes: - a civilian and military-origin reporting flow into command-level response, - two F-4 interception events with documented equipment anomalies, - an intelligence leadership circulation list, and - a preserved official report chain across defense and intelligence repositories. No public source in the current set provides definitive recovery evidence, and no fully public hearing transcript resolves attribution for the encounter.   References   References - [nsa.gov](https://www.nsa.gov/portals/75/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/ufo/us_gov_iran_case.pdf) - [media.defense.gov](https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jul/13/2002761354/-1/-1/0/JOINT_CHIEFS_STAFF_REPORT.PDF) - [dia.mil](https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/238156/) - [dia.mil](https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/238156/) - [nsa.gov](https://www.nsa.gov/press-room/digital-media-center/document-gallery/igphoto/2002761348/) - [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114761/documents/HHRG-117-IG05-Transcript-20220517.pdf) - [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/event/117th-congress/house-event/114761) - [c-span.org](https://www.c-span.org/program/house-committee/hearing-on-government-investigation-of-ufos-612133) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/topics/uaps/faqs) - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/uap-guidance) --- Page: Iranian F-4 Incident Report (/documents/1976-iranian-f4-incident-report) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Iranian F-4 Incident Report Report Military report recounting Iranian fighter jets engaging a luminous object near Tehran Disclosure Rating — 8/10   Summary On the night of 18 September 1976, Iranian Air Force F-4 interceptors scrambled to investigate bright lights over Tehran.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 The Rendlesham Forest official file chain is anchored by Lt. Col. Charles I. Halts January 13, 1981 memorandum to the RAF, later preserved through UK Ministry of Defence handling, parliamentary answers, police records, FOI correspondence, and The National Archives release program.   Document Provenance The National Archives catalogues DEFE 24/1948/1 as a redacted digital copy of the MOD file titled UFO reports of sighting: Rendlesham Forest, December 1980, held as a public record and opened on August 17, 2009. The parent DEFE 24/1948 catalogue entry identifies the former MOD departmental reference as D/Sec(AS) 12/2/1 Part A, placing the file inside the Defence Secretariat registered-file system rather than later folklore collection. The National Archives highlights guide states that Halts memo opens the released file and that much of the file consists of MOD correspondence with members of the public from 1983 to 1995.   Halt Memo as the Core Record Halts memorandum is dated January 13, 1981, carries the subject Unexplained Lights, and was written from Headquarters Combat Support Group to RAF/CC after reported events near RAF Woodbridge. The memo records a first episode in which USAF security police reported unusual lights outside the back gate at RAF Woodbridge, followed by descriptions of a luminous triangular object, ground depressions, radiation readings, and later star-like lights witnessed by multiple people including Halt. Because the memo is a signed, contemporaneous military communication routed into UK defence channels, it became the primary document against which later parliamentary questions, FOI releases, and skeptical or supportive interpretations were measured.   MOD Handling In a July 24, 1996 House of Commons written answer, Defence Minister Nicholas Soames said Halts report had been assessed by MOD air-defence staff and that no further action followed because it was judged to contain nothing of defence significance. In an October 16, 2001 House of Lords written answer, Defence Minister Lord Bach said the only USAF material held by the MOD was Halts January 13, 1981 writing, that the MOD had no evidence of another official investigation or documentation, and that records showed no unusual radar returns from the same period. In a January 25, 2001 House of Lords answer, Baroness Symons said Special Branch would not have shown interest without evidence of a national-security threat, Porton Down archives showed no record of relevant visits or tests, and 1980 radar paper and recording records were no longer retained.   Police Counter-Record A former Suffolk Constabulary publication, preserved in mirrored scan and text form, records a December 26, 1980 report from RAF Woodbridge and notes that police checks found no known aircraft, only Orford lighthouse visible in the area, and a negative search result. The same police-file material includes a later daylight follow-up in which an officer reported seeing nothing at the site and treated the occurrence skeptically, creating an important civil-police counter-record to the USAF narrative preserved in the Halt memo.   Later Release Chain The National Archives research guide states that one of the first MOD UFO files released under the Code of Practice for Access to Government Information in 2001 concerned Rendlesham Forest, and that the dedicated Rendlesham file was opened at The National Archives in August 2009 as DEFE 24/1948/1. The same guide maps related records beyond DEFE 24/1948/1, including original Halt material and follow-up inquiries at DEFE 24/1512, Ombudsman-related release material at DEFE 24/2042/1 and DEFE 24/2028/1, witness-interview transcripts at DEFE 24/1995/1, MOD position-statement material at DEFE 24/1983, and House of Lords correspondence in DEFE 24/2033/1 and DEFE 24/2034/1. A 2015 MOD FOI response confirmed that some Rendlesham information was already available through The National Archives and listed remaining MOD UFO-related files then being prepared for transfer to The National Archives.   Why This File Matters The official file matters because it preserves the governmental record chain rather than a single retold sighting story: a signed USAF memo, UK defence assessment, police counter-record, parliamentary accountability record, FOI release history, and archival catalogue trail can all be checked against each other. Its evidentiary value is strongest for provenance and institutional handling: it shows what Halt reported, what the MOD said it did with that report, what parallel police checks recorded, and how later disclosure mechanisms exposed the paper trail.   References   References - [discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk](https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10342055) - [discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk](https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/redirection/redirect/?catid=8841867&catln=6) - [cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk](https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/aug-2009-highlights-guide.pdf) - [cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk](https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/ufo-research-guide-2013.pdf) - [defense.gov](https://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/foia/Halt_Memo.pdf) - [api.parliament.uk](https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1996/jul/24/rendlesham-forest-incident) - [hansard.parliament.uk](https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2001-10-16/debates/c246478f-c76a-4129-826b-765803ab377a/RendleshamForestIncident) - [api.parliament.uk](https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written_answers/2001/jan/25/rendlesham-forest-incident) - [therendleshamforestincident.com](https://www.therendleshamforestincident.com/2022/04/suffolk-constabulary-have-record-dated.html) - [assets.publishing.service.gov.uk](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7f599240f0b6230268ef6d/20150511-FOI2015-03810-Rendlesham-Redacted-Final-Response.pdf) --- Page: Halt Memo (/documents/1981-halt-memo) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Halt Memo Memo USAF lieutenant colonel Charles Halt reported unexplained lights at RAF Woodbridge, referencing instrument failures Disclosure Rating — 6/10   Summary The Halt memo was a formal account from Lt.

Disclosure Rating — 8/10 Japan Air Lines 1628 FAA Release is the Federal Aviation Administrations public record packet for the November 17, 1986 Alaska unidentified-air-traffic case involving a JAL Boeing 747 cargo flight, its flight crew, Anchorage air traffic control, and later FAA radar review.   Release Provenance The National Archives identifies the record series as Record Group 237, "Information Releases Relating to Unidentified Flying Object, 1986 (FAA-Japan Airlines Flight 1628)," National Archives Identifier 733667. FAAs Alaskan Region issued the public release on March 5, 1987 in Anchorage. The release said FAA was unable to confirm the reported UFO event and that the packet included pilot-controller communications, controller and crew interviews, radar plots, and other data. The Black Vault later located and published the broader scanned series, describing more than 1,500 pages under NAID 733667 after earlier FAA correspondence had indicated that responsive JAL 1628 materials would be destroyed.   Document Contents The core record begins with FAA Form 8020-5, which classifies the episode as an aircraft incident involving unidentified traffic reported by JAL 1628 during its Iceland-to-Anchorage leg. The form summarizes the crews report that traffic appeared at altitude, was visible on the aircrafts weather radar, and was intermittently indicated by Anchorage Center and the Military Regional Operations Center. The immediate post-flight interview notes identify Captain Kenjyu Terauchi, First Officer Takanori Tamefuji, and Flight Engineer Yoshio Tsukuda as the crew interviewed at Anchorage. Those notes preserve the initial cockpit-origin story: visual contact near the Alaska-Canada border, onboard color-radar indication at roughly seven miles, yellow, amber, and green lights, and a crew assessed by FAA personnel as normal, professional, and rational. Terauchis translated written statement expanded the incident into the famous larger narrative of two smaller objects and a "Mother ship" during an approximately 50-minute encounter over Alaska. His January 2, 1987 FAA interview then added interpretive complications, including that this was not his first unusual sighting, which became important context for later caution around his conclusions.   Radar And Controller Trail The Anchorage ARTCC chronology records the operational origin of the case at 0219 UTC on November 18, 1986, corresponding to the evening of November 17 in Alaska, when JAL 1628 asked for traffic information and reported nearby traffic at its altitude. That chronology tracks the cases escalation: the crew reported a target on its own radar at 0225 UTC; ROCC briefly advised a primary return near the reported position; Anchorage Center approved deviations, descent, and a 360-degree turn near Fairbanks; and United Airlines Flight 69 was vectored to look, saw the JAL aircraft, and reported no other traffic. The full ATC transcript shows the uncertainty as an air-traffic-control problem rather than a polished UFO narrative. Controllers asked about clouds, altitude, radar replies, nearby military traffic, Fairbanks Approach returns, and possible visual confirmation by other aircraft while the crew continued reporting changing relative positions.   FAA Closure FAAs March 5 release framed the inquiry as a safety question: the agency normally did not investigate UFO sightings, but reviewed JAL 1628 to determine whether unreported aircraft might have occupied the same airspace. FAA said Technical Center specialists in Atlantic City reviewed the radar data on identical equipment and concluded that the apparent second radar target was not another aircraft, but an uncorrelated primary-and-beacon return from the JAL Boeing 747 itself. The same release drew a firm institutional boundary around the evidence. FAA said it did not perform a scientific analysis of stars, planets, magnetic fields, viewing angle, or similar factors; it reviewed FAA system data, crew and controller interviews, and aircraft-status material, then closed the inquiry with no further investigation planned.   Archival Significance The release remains important because it preserves the evolution of the story in primary records: a live aviation-safety report, immediate crew interviews, Terauchis written and oral narrative, controller and radar coordination, FAA technical review, public-affairs handling, and the agencys final unconfirmed closure. Its evidentiary strength is the official paperwork chain, not a resolved object identity. The record supports that trained pilots reported unidentified traffic, that controllers treated the report seriously in real time, and that FAA later explained its own radar ambiguity without confirming an unknown craft. The CIA contextual source is useful mainly as a boundary marker: Gerald K. Hainess CIA historical review says Agency UFO concern was substantial in the early 1950s but later limited and peripheral through 1990. That makes the public JAL 1628 source base primarily FAA and NARA, not a released CIA case file proving direct Agency ownership of the incident.   References   References - [archives.gov](https://www.archives.gov/research/topics/uaps/textual-and-microfilm) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-002/733667-001-002.pdf) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-024/733667-001-024.pdf) - [theblackvault.com](https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/ufo-case-japanese-airlines-jal1628-november-17-1986/) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-005/733667-001-005.pdf) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-007/733667-001-007.pdf) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-008/733667-001-008.pdf) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-012/733667-001-012.pdf) - [nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com](https://nara-media.s3.amazonaws.com/seattle/rg-237/733667/box_1/733667-001-015/733667-001-015.pdf) - [cia.gov](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) --- Page: MJ12 Documents (/documents/1987-majestic-12-documents) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # MJ12 Documents Leak Controversial papers purporting to reveal a secret U.S. group investigating crashed UFOs Disclosure Rating — 3/10   Questionable Origins Beginning in the mid-1980s, photocopies surfaced alleging that President Truman created a committee called [Majestic 12](/organizations/majestic-12) to recover and study alien craft.

Disclosure Rating — 3/10 November 13, 1989 Journalist: A former government scientist has alleged that the U.S. military is flying recovered UFOs at a secret base in the Nevada desert. The allegations about the secret facility near the Groom Mountains first surfaced on Eyewitness News on last Friday [November 10, 1989]. Scientist Bob Lazar says that there are at least 9 of the flying saucers being tested and that they were not built on Earth. George Knapp has more on the continuation of our series on UFOs. Lazar: Yeah. It was obvious it came from somewhere else other than Earth. Journalist: Scientist Bob Lazar was convinced that the technology he saw being tested at a secret base in the Nevada desert is of alien origin. And for Lazar, the proof is -- at least -- partially in the furniture. One of the 9 flying disks he says he saw at the base -- which was designated S4 looks exactly like this UFO photographed in Europe [Photo of UFO shown]. Lazar called it the Sport Model. Lazar: I gave everything names. The Top Hat, the Jello mold, and the Sport Model operated without any hitches at all. I mean, it looked new. If I knew what a "new" flying saucer looked like. One of them looked like it was hit with some sort of a projectile. It had a large hole in the bottom and a large hole in the top with the metal bent out like some sort of large caliber 4-or-5 inch had gone through it. Journalist: Even before he saw the Sport Model operate, Lazar says that he suspected that the ship came from somewhere else. The realization slapped him in the face the first time he glimpsed the inside of the disk. Lazar: I got to look inside, and it had really small chairs. I think that was the first confirmation I had. That was just a shocking thing because every time before that, I was able to label it as just a little advance that a group of scientists had formed and you know -- theyre keeping it secret and, yeah, we could have built a big disk like that and yeah, thats no problem. And, you know, we could have adapted the use [????????] to make it fly. But why does it have little furniture inside? And then things began to click together just all too fast. Journalist: A few of the disks had been completely dismantled to find out how they worked, Lazar says. But others were fully operational. A Japanese TV network created this animated version of Lazars story after his first interview with us aired in May [showing video]. Lazar says the dramatization is similar to a test flight he witnessed. Lazar: The bottom of it glowed blue and began to hiss like any high-voltage does on a round sphere. Its my impression that the reason that theyre round and have no sharp edges is to contain the high voltage like a high voltage systems insulators. Things are round or else you get a corona discharge. In either case, it began to hiss as in high voltage. It lifted off the ground quietly except for that little hiss in the background. And that stopped as soon as it reached about 20-or- 30 feet. Journalist: Lazar says the test of the Sport Model was a short one. That it made only a few moves before setting back down. He didnt see who was actually flying the craft, but was very impressed nonetheless. Lazar: Well, theres no action reaction system to it. Theres no like in a jet engine -- exhaust gas being thrown out. No propeller, no noise. Its just -- for all intents and purposes -- magic. Journalist: To Lazars knowledge, the flying disks are not being used, for say, any flights to Jupiter. He said excessive caution and intense secrecy contributed to the plodding pace of the program and were a main source of his disenchantment. Lazar: Its just unfair, outright, not to put it in the hands of the overall scientific community. There are people much more capable of dealing with this information. And by this time, they would have gotten a lot further along than this small select group of people working out in the middle of the desert. They dont even have the facilities, really, to completely analyze what theyre dealing with. Gene Huff: Well, he was being quiet. If he kept me abreast of anything, he kept me abreast of the security checks. Theyd randomly drop by his house. Theyd threaten his life; theyd threaten his wifes life. They had done all that so we really didnt converse. I mean, he really was adhering to the program." Journalist: Gene Huff is a Las Vegas real estate appraiser. A regular guy who just happens to have a friend in the flying saucer business. He learned about Lazars S4 experiences only after a long period. Lazar is anxious for people to know that he didnt just run right out and spill the secrets of the Universe, and that some things are properly kept confidential. Lazar: I did not believe that this should be a security matter. Some of it -- sure. But just the concept that theres definite proof and we even have articles from another world, another system, you just cant not tell everyone. A lot of people dont believe that. But I do. Journalist: When he reached what he felt was his bursting point, he took Huff and a few others to the edge of the Groom Mountains to see the flights for themselves. A total of 5 witnesses on 2 consecutive weeks managed to dodge security patrols long enough to see the strange glowing object lift above the mountain. Huff: Uh, it came up above the same mountain. It moved around. It did a step move -- it actually went up in the air like this [showing details with hands] and it hovered then dropped way down. Then it just floated around and cruised around. It starts coming up the mountain range. Journalist: This home videotape was recorded during one of the trips to the Groom Mountains [showing video tape. A lot of talking ... Object in sight ... Mention of brightness of the object. ... ]. Journalist: Admittedly, the tape proves very little by itself because with the distance and darkness, there are no reference points other than the alleged flying disk. But Lazars information about the time and location of the test flight proves correct. Not just once, but twice. That -- according to our off-camera interviews with each of the other witnesses. Gene Huff describes his second sighting: Huff: Through the telescope we could see an elliptical-shaped light. You can only get so close even with a telescope to a secure facility. Anyway, it came up by us very rapidly. It glowed and glows brighter like a star. We almost got the feeling that it was going to explode, it glowed so brightly. We backed up behind the car. Then it went down and glowed back up a little bit and then very softly glided back over, back where the mountains where it came up hovered for awhile ... and then thats that. Just like you see in the movies. Journalist: Bob Lazar isnt the only person to claim "inside knowledge" of the flying disks at the test site. But he is just the only person to say so publicly. We have communicated with several people who say they know of the saucer program. A technician in a highly sensitive position told us it is "common knowledge among those with high security clearances that recovered alien disks are stored at the Nevada test site." A Las Vegas professional -- who once served in the military and was stationed at the test site said he saw a flying disk land outside the boundaries of Area 51, that it was quickly surrounded by security personnel, and that he was taken away and debriefed for several hours. A man who once worked at Groom Lake as a technician wrote this letter at our request -- explaining how he inadvertently walked into the wrong hangar and saw what appeared to be a large metallic disk under a tarp. It was being examined by men in lab coats. And an airman who worked at Nellis at a radar installation says he and his fellow servicemen watched over a period of 5 nights, unusual objects flying over the Groom Mountains. He says the radar images indicates the objects zoomed into range at speeds of 7,000 mph and then would stop on a dime. And that nothing we have is capable of doing that. The airman says that when word of his sighting got out, he was ordered to turn off his radar sensors for that area and told to keep quiet about the matter because it did not happen. None of this means that the military is actually flying alien spacecraft in the Nevada desert. It could all perhaps be explained as some other secret program. But Lazar insists thats not the case. We put the matter to the U.S. Navy which -- according to Lazar -- is running the saucer show. 4 different naval offices were contacted. All denied having any information in their files. The Naval Research Lab said it conducted a thorough search but found "zip". Naval Intelligence said much the same thing, adding it is not required to create a file where one doesnt exist. A side note: We also requested files on a UFO sighting over Tremonton, Utah in 1952. The Navy spent more than a thousand hours studying film of that sighting a fact thats been noted in several publications -- but for purposes of our request, the Navy couldnt find those files either. Lazar: The group that runs this project -- whether it really is the Navy or they just say that -- apparently these people have "executive" power. They dont report to anyone. Journalist: Tomorrow, more troubling allegations of the military potential of alien technology. --- Page: On the Record, December 1989, Bob Lazar interview (/documents/1989-12-09-knapp-lazar-interview) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # On the Record, December 1989, Bob Lazar interview Transcript Transcript of George Knapps interview with Bob Lazar on December 9, 1989, discussing Lazars claims about working on reverse-engineering alien craft at Area-51. Disclosure Rating — 3/10 "On the Record" / KLAS-TV December 9, 1989 George Knapp, producer/host Robert Lazar, guest Knapp: Hello, and welcome to "On the Record". One month ago, we began a series of reports about UFOs. With the exception of a few cranky newspaper people, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Weve had requests for more information from all over the country and from all over the World. Tonight were going to delve a little deeper into the subject with the man who was the impetus for our report in the first place -- Bob Lazar. Bob, good to have you here. A thumbnail sketch of yourself for those who might not be familiar with your background. Lazar: I worked at Los Alamos National Lab. Knapp: As a physicist? Lazar: As a physicist and hired as a senior staff physicist at Area S4, for what I was told anyway was the United States Navy. Knapp: Where is S4? Lazar: Its about 10-to-15 miles South of Groom Lake, about 125 miles North of Las Vegas. Knapp: How did you get the job? Lazar: I really dont want to mention the guy who I got it through. But I was referred to a person at EG&G to drop off my resume t. Thats where I was interviewed, though the job is completely unrelated to EG&G. Knapp: What did they tell you that you were going to be doing? Or DID they tell you Lazar: No, they really didnt tell me until the very end. They said a high-technology job -- something that Id be very interested in. Knapp: Okay, so you get hired. And what happens? Do you fly up there? Lazar: Fly up there. The first day was reading briefings and that sort of thing. And it became evident to me pretty quickly the level of technology they were dealing with. Gravitational propulsion and things that Science has really only barely touched on. Knapp: Well get into the things that you saw in a couple of minutes. But its been about a little more than 3 weeks since your identity was made public. We had you on another program a couple of months ago using an assumed name and having you in silhouette. But since your identity has been made public and this information has been made public, whats it been like? Whats been the response from people that see you on the street? Lazar: The response has been almost all favorable. In fact, everyone that Ive run into has been very supportive, very interested. I guess theres just 2-or-3 letters Knapp: from people that dont believe you? Lazar: Yeah. Essentially. Knapp: Responses from other media outlets as well? Lazar: Yeah. Knapp: They want to interview you? What do they want? Lazar: Essentially everything. Yes, radio interviews, TV interviews. A lot of people want to dig back into my background and re-trace everything. Knapp: Many of the people who have been calling -- calling us as well were under the impression that either youve gone underground or youve been silenced or weve been silenced by dark and sinister forces. Anything like that happen to you so far? Lazar: Thats ridiculous. People are always going over the deep end on that. And no ones told me other than originally -- not to say anything. And Im sure no ones come forward to you. Knapp: But in the beginning, they told you to keep quiet about this. Lazar: Oh yeah! Its the most secret program in the United States. Knapp: In what way did they try to make sure you kept your mouth shut? Lazar: Everything up to death threats. I mean constant reminders of it, signing away my constitutional rights for fair trial, and that sort of thing. Knapp: And since this thing, your phones been tapped, you believe? Lazar: Yeah, I believe. I have a tap detector. And occasionally after I pick up the phone, a little red light goes on. Knapp: The reason you came forward with the information to begin with. Is it related to the fact that they were bothering you? Lazar: Yeah, it was essentially to stop that. What had happened was that I sent in a request for my birth certificate. And as it turned out, it wasnt there anymore like that I wasnt born at the hospital! And that kind of got me wondering whats going on. I put in a request for some other information -- previous jobs, etc. and that was also gone. I thought something had to be done before I disappeared. Knapp: The same thing -- it was Los Alamos? Theyve never heard of you? Lazar: Yeah. Knapp: Anything happened since the reports have aired? Lazar: They let me know that they were around by doing stupid, childish little things. But nothing serious, no. Knapp: You were worried about your life though for a while there, werent you? Lazar: That was one of the reasons to come on and let everything out on the air. Its a little of "insurance". Knapp: Are you worried any more? Do you get the feeling youre "over the hump"? Lazar: To some degree, yeah. Knapp: Do you find that most people really believe you or that they just want more information? Lazar: I think a lot of people believe what I said. But the majority I think do just want more information, too. Its an in-depth subject. Knapp: Lets look at some of the technology you saw. When did you first get the idea, whats the first thing you saw that made you convinced that its not from here? Lazar: The first thing was hands-on experience with the anti-matter reactor. Knapp: Explain what that is and how it works and what it does. Lazar: Its a plate about 18 inches in diameter with a sphere on top. Knapp: We have a tape of a model that a friend of yours made. You can narrate along. There it is. Lazar: Inside that tower is a chip of Element-115 they just put in there. Thats a super-heavy element. The lid goes on top. And as far as any other of the workings of it, I really dont know whats inside the bottom of it ... 115 sets up a gravitational field around the top. That little waveguide you saw being put on the top essentially siphons off the gravity wave, and thats later amplified in the lower portion of the craft. But just in general, the whole technology is virtually unknown. Knapp: Now we saw the model. We saw the pictures of it there. It looks really, really simple. Almost too simple to actually do anything. Lazar: Right. Knapp: Working parts? Lazar: None detectable. Essentially, the job was to back-engineer everything where you have a finished product and to step backwards and find out how it was made or how it could be made with Earthly materials. There hasnt been very much progress. Knapp: How long do you think theyve had this technology up there? Lazar: It seems like quite a while. But I really dont know. Knapp: What could you do with an anti-matter generator? What does it do? Lazar: It converts anti-matter [sorry, it] doesnt "convert" anti-matter! Theres an annihilation reaction. Its an extremely powerful reaction a 100 percent conversion of matter to energy, unlike a fission or fusion reaction which is somewhere around 8/10 of one percent... Knapp: How does it work? What starts the reaction going? Lazar: Really, once the 115 is put in, the reaction is initiated. Knapp: Automatic. Lazar: Right. Knapp: I dont understand. I mean, theres no button to push or anything? Lazar: No, theres no button to push or anything. Apparently, the 115 under bombardment with protons lets out an anti-matter particle. This anti-matter particle will react with any matter whatsoever, which I imagine there is some target system inside the reactor. This, in turn, releases heat. And somewhere within that system there is a 100-percent efficient thermionic generator -- essentially a heat-to-electrical generator. Knapp: How is this anti-matter reactor connected to gravity generation that you were talking about earlier? Lazar: Well, that reactor serves 2 purposes. It provides a tremendous amount of electrical power, which is almost a by-product. The gravitational wave gets formed at the sphere, and thats through some action of the 115. As to the exact action, I dont think anyone really knows. The waveguide siphons off that gravity wave. Thats channeled above the top of the disk to the lower part where there are 3 gravity amplifiers which amplify and direct that gravity wave. Knapp: In essence creating their own gravitational field. Lazar: Their own gravitational field. Knapp: Youre fairly convinced that science on Earth doesnt have this technology right now? We have it now at S4, I guess, but we didnt create it? Lazar: Right. Knapp: Why not? Why couldnt we? Lazar: The technologys not even We dont even know what gravity IS! Knapp: Well, what is it? What have you learned about what gravity is? Lazar: Gravity is a wave. There are many different theories about gravity including waves. Its been theorized that gravity is also particles (gravitons) which is also incorrect. But gravity is a wave. The basic wave they can actually tap off of an element. Why that is, Im not exactly sure. Knapp: So you can produce your own gravity. What does that mean? What does that allow you to do? Lazar: It allows you to do virtually anything. Gravity distorts time and space. By doing that, now youre into a different mode of travel where instead of traveling in a linear method -- going from point A to B -- now you can distort time and space to where you essentially bring the mountain to Mohammed. You almost bring your destination to you without moving. And since youre distorting time, all this takes place in between moments of time. Its such a far-fetched concept! Knapp: Of course, what the UFO skeptics say is Yeah, theres life out there elsewhere in the Universe. But it can never come here -- its just too darn far. With the kind of technology youre talking about, it makes such considerations irrelevant about distance and time and things like that. Lazar: Exactly, because when you are distorting time, theres no longer a normal reference of time. And thats what producing your own gravity does. Knapp: You can go forward or backward in time? Is thats what youre saying? Lazar: No, not essentially. It would be easier with a model. On the bottom side of the disk are the 3 gravity generators. When they want to travel to a distant point, the disk turns on its side. The 3 gravity generators produce a gravitational beam. What they do is they converge the 3 gravity generators onto a point and use that as a focal point. Then they bring them up to power and PULL that point towards the disk. The disk itself will attach ONTO that point and snap back AS THEY RELEASE SPACE BACK TO THAT POINT! Now all this happens in the distortion of time, so time is not incrementing. So the "speed" is essentially infinite. Knapp: Well get into the disks in a moment. But the first time you saw the anti-matter reactor in operation or a demonstration ... You had a couple of demonstrations. Tell me about that. Lazar: The first time I saw it in operation, we -- a friend I worked with, Barry -- just put the fuel in the reactor, put the lid on as was shown there. Immediately, a gravitational field developed and he said, "Feel it!" And it felt like when you bring 2 like poles of a magnet together; you can do that with your hand. And it was FASCINATING to do that. Actually impossible, except on something with great mass! And obviously this is just a And it was a REPULSION field. In fact, we kind of fooled around with it for a little while. We threw golf balls off it. It was just a really unique thing. Knapp: And you had other demonstrations to show you that this is pretty wild stuff, right? Lazar: Yeah, they did. They were able to channel the field off in a demonstration that they created an INTENSE gravitational area. And you began to see a small little black disk form. That was the bending of the light. Knapp: Just like a black hole floating around? Lazar: Yeah Well, a black hole is a bad analogy. But yeah, essentially. [StealthSkater note: In alter interviews, Lazar said that the UFO projected a "distortion" in front. And it would be drawn to that distortion. So maybe the "black hole" analogy wasnt too off for a layperson.] Knapp: And they gave you some kind of demonstration about time involving a candle? Explain how that works. Lazar: Yeah, they took a candle and lit it and put it in the distorted gravitational field, which distorts time. And the candle just stood there. It didnt melt or burn. It was REALLY unbelievable! Knapp: You had to be floored by seeing all this. Lazar: Oh, I was! Thats why Im kind of laughing about it now because it must sound ridiculous to everyone. But its just phenomenal. I mean, this is really alien technology. Knapp: About the 115: We talked a little bit about it in the series of reports. Explain what it is again, and why you believe it could not be manufactured here. Lazar: Okay, its a super-heavy element. On the Periodic Chart -- which lists all the elements found on Earth and that have be synthesized I think the highest element weve synthesized has been about Element 106. Now from 103 or actually, anything higher than Plutonium up the half- life begins to drop. In other words, the element disintegrates. When you get up to Element 106, its only around for a very small amount of time. But Science today theorizes that up around Element 113 to 116 -- somewhere in there -- they should again become stable. This is in fact true. Thats what Element 115 is. Its a stable element. To synthesize it would be impossible. The way we synthesize heavy elements is take a stable element like Bismuth or something like that, Plutonium or whatever put it in an accelerator, and bombard it with protons. Essentially what youre trying to do is plug in protons into the atoms and increase the atomic number. To do that to the level of Element 115 would just take an infinite amount of power and an infinite amount of time. Knapp: What kinds of things what capabilities would a heavy element like this have? I mean other than producing power? Obviously, it can produce a LOT of power, right? Lazar: It in itself is not anti-matter. It just has a unique property of producing it. Any of the other basic properties it has, I really dont know of. But using just the anti-matter-producing property, the potential for a weapon is staggering! Its absolutely staggering! Knapp: Like what? A pound of it -- what could it do? Lazar: Well, 2.2 pounds is the energy equivalent of 47 10-Megaton hydrogen bombs. I mean, its a good bang! And a pound of a super-heavy element is maybe the size of a plum or something like that. Knapp: I guess what Ive heard most from people who just dont buy the whole story is that Sure, maybe you work at an area called S4. And maybe it is a secret area. But what you were shown is stuff that weve made. That we made this 115 -- if it is 115 -- that we made the flying disks, that we made these anti-matter reactors because these are advances that you just dont know about. Lazar: Hardly. [laughs.] Knapp: Why not? Lazar: Well, the 115 ... its impossible. And the fact that the main job of everyone there is to find out how everythings made I mean that just contradicts everything right off the bat. The materials are completely alien to us. And just the overall idea of the project is: "Hey, can we duplicate this with materials that we have here?" So obviously, it was something that was found - or given, for that matter -- and were just trying to duplicate it. Knapp: The 115 ... Where do you suppose it came from then? I mean, what kind of environment would that kind of element come from? Lazar: The only place that 115 could be made would have to be in a natural situation, somewhere maybe on the fringes of a supernova or somewhere around maybe a binary star system where there was more mass in the primordial mix of that system. Where heavier elements would have had a chance to form when the stars were collapsing, and there were huge amounts of energy being released. Its something along these lines. It has to be a naturally-occurring element. Knapp: You saw an anti-matter reactor. You saw gravity-propulsion systems in flying disks -- flying saucers. You saw this Element-115. You also read a series of reports that had other stunning information. Can you give an overview of the kind of things that were in these reports? Lazar: The reason I didnt do that before was first of all-- they were just reports. Everything else I had hands-on experience with. Now there was LOTS of strange information in the reports. But there again, its just printed material and it could be disinformation. I dont know. But certainly, the information I did read in the reports about 115, the disks, the grav I mean, that all had material that related to that. The reports went into aliens and even went along the lines of religious Knapp: Well, we can let our audience know. I mean, we discussed this when we were putting this series of reports together whether to get into the alien thing or not. And we decided not to for the time being. Its not like youre hiding something from the audience or whatever. It was just a decision we made. But you did see reports whether theyre true or not. Government reports about aliens? Lazar: Yeah. Knapp: What were the reports? Lazar: There were photographs of aliens. There were autopsy reports. There was really a wealth of information. Knapp: What did they look like? Lazar: The typical "grey". I hate to say that like anyone knows what a typical grey is. Its a creature, probably 32-to-4 feet tall, a large hairless head, black, slanted eyes, long arms, and very thin- looking. I dont know how else I would describe them. Knapp: What does an autopsy report look like? Whats included in an autopsy report that you said you read? Lazar: The reason I call it an "autopsy report" is I saw the carcass. It was obviously a dead alien. Its carcass cut up and it was all dark inside like it had an iron base. The reason I say "iron" is because it was very dark blood or whatever. Im not a doctor, but it seemed to be one large organ in the body as opposed to identifiable heart and lungs and that sort of thing. Just one gooey mess in it. Knapp: What did the report say? It had pictures; it had to have some words. "Heres Exhibit A an alien"? Lazar: Essentially so. They had weights and densities of the organs. They said there was no conclusions drawn. It was just a basic description of what the person who was cutting open the body saw. Knapp: Say where they came from? Lazar: Yeah. In one of the reports, it said they came from Reticulum-4. Knapp: Where is that? Any idea? Lazar: [laughs] Well, Im told its a star system in Zeta Reticuli. Reticulum is the constellation. And by "Reticulum-4," they meant the 4th planet out from that sun. In the same reports, we were identified -- instead of saying Earth as "Sol-3" meaning the third planet out from our Sun. Knapp: Now youve read a lot of UFO material. Do you find yourself mixing what youve read and what youve learned from up there? Lazar: No. Thats why I stay away from the UFO researchers and things like that. I really dont want to be associated with that. I dont research the stuff. Its interesting to read but no, Im not mixing anything that Ive read into this stuff. Knapp: We were just talking about the UFO field in general. And you feel a little reluctant to get mixed up in it, although you ARE right now. Lazar: Unfortunately, yeah. Knapp: Why the reluctance? Lazar: I dont know. There are so many stories circulating around. Everyone has their own view. Each UFO researcher says they have the right story. And essentially, I dont want to side with anyone because I dont know where that informations come from though they do all have the basic story. You know, there are alien crafts here. How they got here is probably aliens brought them here unless we really have a neat setup with the UPS. Theres just so many different factions of them [UFO researchers]. And they all kind of war between each other. I really dont want to get associated with them. Knapp: Before you got into the program at S4, though, you had an interest in UFOs. It must be hard for people to swallow that heres a guy who has an interest in it and he gets hired into the program. Lazar: Well, there was a very brief time there I had sent out resumes to several places. I wanted to get back into the scientific field again. Almost simultaneously, I met John Lear and read some of his material. And initially, I thought he was just absolutely crazy. But apparently, he did have a good source of information because as it turns out, some of the information that he had I actually had hands-on experience with. Knapp: But your regard for UFOs in general: As a scientist, did you think there was something to it? Lazar: Absolutely not. Knapp: Absolutely nothing? Lazar: No. I would have stood on that til the day I died. Knapp: Many of the people who have been calling are UFO groups or UFO researchers who have demanded that you talk to them. "Weve got to talk to this guy." "We want to give him a lot more publicity so he stays alive." "We want him to give us information so that we can further check out his background, etc." "We want to protect him; we want to help him." Youve resisted. Youve done this program. Youve done a couple of reports with us. And youve done a radio show or two. In general, youve resisted going into the UFO circuit. Why is that? Lazar: Just like I mentioned before. I just dont want to be associated with those guys. And how many people are you going to open up your background to and let them run rampant through it? I mean, private detectives -- every UFO group in the World wants to do that! The idea was for me to release the information essentially to protect myself and take some of the heat off. And Ive done that. And thats all that needs to be done, really. Knapp: Certain UFO researchers claim theyve been getting information from you all along. Youve been leaking stuff to them. And that theyve read these reports that verify the information. Youve been working with UFO groups while you were in the program at S4? Lazar: Not UFO groups. I did mention a couple of things to some people. Thats all Im gonna say. Knapp: Okay. In essence, were you breaking your vows that you made to the Government? Lazar: Yeah. Knapp: And why did you feel that was necessary? I mean, you took an oath, didnt you? Lazar: Yeah. But look at the magnitude of what was going on. I believe that some of the technology maybe all of the technology -- should be kept secret until we have a handle on everything. But certainly, the overview of what happened just cannot be a secret from anyone. Not just the American people, but the rest of the World. Let out the basic fact that we have these craft. At one time aliens did at least visit and drop off something -- however they got here, that there was some contact made and then cut it short. You dont need to release the information on the gravity generators, the weapon potential which is enormous and so on. Knapp: What could you do with that technology? Say you took the flying disks, the anti-matter reactors, andthe gravity generators, gave it to Los Alamos or Livermore, let them examine the potential abilities of this stuff. I mean, how would this affect life on Earth if this stuff was widely available? Lazar: And mass-producible? Knapp: Yes. Lazar: Thats tough to say. I mean, you have a completely different mode of travel. What happens when you can play with time? That gets into a really deep philosophical question there. Knapp: But I mean, it would change a lot of stuff. Change everything. Lazar: Oh yeah! It would change absolutely everything! Knapp: Do you think it will ever come out? Lazar: Personally, no. Knapp: What do you hope happens, both with yourself and with this information? Lazar: Theres been enough thorns put in their toes to where they do try and release something. Knapp: Well have to have you come back, Bob. Thanks for joining us. --- Page: Happening Show, December 1989, Bob Lazar interview (/documents/1989-12-20-lazar-billy-goodman-show-excerpts) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Happening Show, December 1989, Bob Lazar interview Transcript Partial transcript of appearance on the Billy Goodman "Happening" show on December 20, 1989. Disclosure Rating — 3/10 Bob Lazar on the Billy Goodman "Happening" Show December 20, 1989 (partial transcript) Goodman: What exactly does Area S4 mean? Lazar: I really dont know. It might be referred to as "Site 4". That might be what the S is for, but I really dont know. There are 3 S4s in all of the Nevada Test Site. The nuclear test site itself is a small area, and it has "sites" or "Areas" 1 to 29-or-30. The S4 there, I think, is a nuclear reactor. Theres an S4 just south of the Tonopah test range. And theres an S4 -- the one that I worked at - - just south of Groom Lake. Goodman: Bob Lazar -- while working there as a Government scientist -- saw not only one but as many as 9 flying saucers. And hes telling the whole World about it. He wants everybody to know that in fact there are flying saucers out there. Last time you were here, you never really told us what are their plans with these flying saucers. Do you have any idea why we have flying saucers at this point? Lazar: I guess its just essentially research. The idea is to back-engineer them, to go back and find out how they can be duplicated using Earthly materials and technology. Caller: Is it possible these machines travel in time back-and-forth? Lazar: Its certainly possible. Certainly, when you create any artificial gravitational field, you technically move in your own time. So technically, you do slip forward when you create your own intense gravitational field. Caller: BACK in time too? Lazar: Theoretically, thats possible. Exactly how you would do that, I dont know off the top of my head. Caller: So that could be used like a "time machine", right? Lazar: Essentially yeah. That is ... Caller: For time travel? Lazar: That is possible. Caller: Wow! Thats really something! Lazar: Yeah, thats science-fiction-like. Caller: When you looked into the saucer, how does the hatch work? How does it seal up? What are all of the mechanics involved? Lazar: The hatch -- or whatever it was was completely removed. There was just an opening in the side of the craft. Caller: Did the opening have any kind of sealing around it or a lip? Lazar: I really dont remember. Cause I was so interested in looking inside, I didnt really catch a strong glimpse of the sealing mechanism or any other thing around it. Caller: When you were previously on Billys show, you said you looked into one. And it was all smooth like it had been a wax casting. Lazar: Yeah, exactly. Caller: Now, was that the only one you looked into? Lazar: No, it was the only one I looked into. The other ones I just saw from a distance, so I dont know any detail about them. Caller: And the one you looked into, was that the Sport Model? Lazar: Yes, exactly. Caller: And thats the only one you saw fly as well? Lazar: Right. Caller: What was your work there? Lazar: Like I said before, it was essentially to back-engineer the propulsion and power system. Caller: So you werent really involved in the mechanics of the craft itself? Lazar: No, not at all. Caller: But mostly just the Element-115 and all that kind of stuff you were learning about? Lazar: Right. Goodman: What is gravity? Lazar: Gravity is a wave. Its a force, essentially, just like electromagnetic waves are a different type of force. I really dont know a good way to describe gravity. Goodman: Einstein and other scientists really dont have an answer for what gravity is, do they, totally? They dont really understand it totally, do they? Lazar: No, no, not at all. In fact, I dont think we understand anything about gravity. Goodman: Why dont we just float away ourselves? What keeps us down on the planet? Lazar: That is the attractive force of gravity. Goodman: Some people say it presses down. But it doesnt, does it? Lazar: No, it doesnt. Its an attractive force. Its like on an atomic scale, the strong and weak nuclear forces hold the atoms individually together. Goodman: Is your actual title Government scientist or physicist? Lazar: You could use either one. Goodman: You are no longer a Government scientist or physicist, right? Lazar: Not employed by the Government. Goodman: But you are continuing in the scientific field. What do you do? Lazar: I design and build advanced radiation detection equipment, mainly alpha radiation equipment for essentially use in detecting plutonium for national laboratories. Caller: How long has that craft been on this Earth? Lazar: I really dont know. I dont even know how long its been down at S4. Caller: Do you know where it originally landed? Lazar: No, you got me on all that stuff. They really never keep me in as to .. Caller: It could have been here for years? Lazar: Yeah. Or it could have been brought in in pieces from somewhere else, too. Caller: Did you see just one craft or a number of craft? Lazar: I saw a number of them. Caller: Did the other workers talk about it, where it came from, or more they towed in, or whatever? Lazar: I dont know. There really wasnt that much conversation between everyone. Caller: Were you by yourself when you were investigating the craft? Lazar: Walking by myself. There were security people around me. But when I crawled underneath on the sub-floor to look at the gravity amplifiers, I got away from them. But there was no one right next to me the whole time. Caller: Any evidence of live aliens held captive? Lazar: Nothing I could put my finger on. Caller: Then you didnt get to see any at all then in that sector? Lazar: Nothing I could put my finger on. Caller: Did the craft have sleeping quarters for aliens? Is it like a "Star Trek" craft? What kind of craft is it? Lazar: No, its pretty vacant inside. Granted, a couple of things were removed. They were sawed off at the base. I dont know what they were. I just saw little stumps on the ground, so I dont know what was removed. But it doesnt look like it had anything like sleeping quarters or anything like that. Caller: Any writing you could detect or any language on the walls? Lazar: No. Caller: Any panels like a dashboard on a car? Lazar: Yeah. In fact, that was one of the things looks like one was removed. There was more than one control panel set up, but it Caller: Were these craft all from the same source? Were they all identical? Lazar: No. Each craft was completely different in physical appearance. I didnt get to look in depth at the other craft; I only fooled around with one. Caller: What-the-heck is an "energy grid" on our planet? Lazar: I dont know. I dont buy that theory or anything in that book. Its a grid outlined over the entire Globe. And at each intersection, theres an energy vortex of some kind. Id rather not comment since I dont buy it. Caller: On TV, you mentioned something about a "time warp" and a "folding over". What did you mean by that? Lazar: Right. Its how gravity -- whether produced artificially or naturally -- distorts time and space. Caller: I read about Nicola Tesla questioning Einsteins theory of Relativity. He says that energy doesnt come from matter. Where does it come from if it doesnt come from matter? Lazar: Thats a strange question. It can be EXTRACTED from matter. But it can be extracted by other means, too. I really dont understand that [question]. [StealthSkater note: Matter and energy may be observable products of the Zero-Point Energy field -- the quantum vacuum. Many regard this validated field as the reincarnation of the old "aether" concept.] Caller: How can UFOs be kept secret for 40 years? Lazar: I did pose that question to some people at S4. And the answer that I got was that its the easiest thing to keep secret because of the subject matter. Caller: Is that because its tied in with a lot of parapsychology-psychic-type stuff a la National Enquirer? Lazar: Maybe so. There is so much disinformation made so available to the public via the tabloids and things like that that any true information getting out is assumed to originate from those sources. Caller: Carl Sagan is a "people" scientist. Hes brought science down to the general public. What about getting him involved in this somehow? Lazar: I imagine hes fairly open-minded. Ive never met him. Caller: Hes one of the biggest UFO debunkers. Lazar: Hes going to need his own proof as everyone should require. Its impossible to make an absolute believer out of someone that hasnt had hands-on experience or has seen something for themselves. Thats the way any scientist is going to look at it. Caller: How far is Zeta Reticuli? Lazar: I think its around 32 light-years. Caller: Do these ships travel faster than light? Lazar: Its an irrelevant question. They get around it because theyre not in a linear mode of travel. Since theyre distorting time and space, theres no true time reference. And since velocity is distance over time, when you begin to fool around with time, you really cant state a true velocity. Caller: Re the SETI program the search for radio signals couldnt some of these observatories or telescopes be aimed at the places where aliens supposedly come from? Lazar: Radio waves and frequencies along that band arent utilized. Its GRAVITY wave communication. A radio-telescope isnt going to pick up anything of that sort. [StealthSkater note: Famed missing person Philip Taylor Kramer said that he had solved his fathers unified field theoretical Equation that would allow for instantaneous communications (and possibly matter teleportation) to any point in the Universe by harnessing unstable gravitation waves. See the "Science#Kramer" page at => doc pdf URL ] Goodman: The way you got to see this UFO was not planned by anyone wanting you to see it, right? You were walking with security and you went into a doorway. How did you describe that before? Lazar: It may have been planned by them. I had no advance warning of it. I had been brought in a separate door the whole time. And one specific time I was just led into the area where I worked through the hangar doors, which I had never been in before -- walked directly by the craft, and began to slow down by it. They said, "Just keep walking; keep your eyes forward." It was just like that. Nothing was said. And I just went and sat down in an empty room. Goodman: You went and sat down in an empty room after you saw it? Lazar: Yeah. I waited for this guy that I worked with -- Barry -- and then we went to work on some of the work we were assigned to. Goodman: What was some of the work that you actually did? What did you actually do at S4? When you had an assignment, what would it have been, for example? Lazar: Most of the time I worked there I was being briefed and being brought up-to-date on what had been done before. Most of the hands-on bench work was with the anti-matter reactor itself being shown how it operated, giving demonstrations, and things of that sort. Goodman: There was practically no communication with your fellow workers? Lazar: Right. They kept that to an absolute minimum. They were on the "buddy system". You always worked with someone, and thats the person you communicated with. There was really no cross- talk between groups. Goodman: When you went there for the initial interview, you said at the time they actually had a gun at your head Lazar: No, that was at the security briefing. Goodman: "Security", wherever that may be. The initial interview when you went to work at S4 that Im talking about, thats not when the gun was at your head? Lazar: No. Goodman: When you went there, what was your understanding about what you were going to be doing? Lazar: Some high-technology work. I assumed they were talking about some sort of gravitational propulsion system. Goodman: Were you excited about that? Lazar: Oh yeah, very much so. Because there was some talk about that because it was something that I was interested in -- something they KNEW I was interested in. And that was the hint that I got. Goodman: And did it come to fruition? Did what you were told you were going to do actually happen? Lazar: Yeah. Goodman: How long were you actually there before you let people know what was going on up there? How many months or days or whatever? Lazar: Probably a couple of months. Goodman: Every time you went there, you literally had to fly up, land at Groom Lake, take a bus that was blacked out at the windows ... Lazar: Right. Goodman: And no communication on the bus. What were you thinking as a young man? Youre a very young man; lets face it. Lazar: Im not that young. Goodman: Well, you are a very young man. I think you are. Anyway, what were you thinking? Were you just saying "well this just goes with the territory and Im just going to go along with this?" Lazar: Oh yeah, you bet! I would have done that and much more just to be involved with the project. Goodman: Ah! The excitement was just being there, being a part of what was going on behind the scenes. The secret part about it? Lazar: Oh sure. I would have taken a LOT more crap than they had dealt out. Goodman: Can you picture it? Hes in his 30s, sitting on a bus, and accepting the fact, Okay, Im going to work this morning, not talking to his compadres on the bus, is looking straight ahead, blackened-out windows, not driving on asphalt, all dirt roads. Didnt you ask yourself why they didnt do anything about the dirt roads? Lazar: It was a good dirt road. A lot of the roads around there are dirt. In fact, almost all are. Caller: Previously, you described the central column of the propulsion device as being a waveguide. There was a disk toward the bottom of this thing down near the anti-matter generator that spins. What is that disk made of ... Lazar: Theres no spinning disk. Caller: What is the disk made of? Is it a capacitor? Lazar: A disk? The waveguide extends down, widens out, and sits on the curved portion of the reactor. The bottom of the reactor is a plate. But nothing rotates or moves. Its all connected together. Caller: Is that plate a capacitor? Lazar: No. Caller: Well, what is it made of? Lazar: Metal. Thats the only way I can describe it. I dont know what kind; its [electric-] Caller: Did anyone determine the kind of metal it was? Lazar: Not to my knowledge. Caller: I understand that part of the propulsion system involves a very large capacitor -- which is usually the entire lower surface of the disk that can make use of something along the lines of the [Biefield] Brown Effect. Do you know what the components of the dielectric material in that capacitor are? Lazar: Well, if the bottom of the disk is one plate of the capacitor, then the dielectric material would be the air if youre going to look at the Earth as another plate of the capacitor. But as far as the capacitor being integral to the actual craft itself -- no, I found no evidence of that. Caller: I understand theres an antenna section in this device. What is the resonant frequency that that operates at? Lazar: The resonant frequency of the gravity wave I do know. But I dont know it off hand. I just cant remember it. Caller: Can you give me a ballpark like 2,000 kilohertz? Lazar: I really dont remember. Its a really odd frequency. Caller: Is it measured in kilohertz or gigahertz or megahertz? Lazar: I really dont remember. Caller: When you first started to go public and were meeting with people at John Lears house, I understand that there were a number of witnesses at those first meetings. One of them claims that you did say that you had seen an extraterrestrial while working inside one of those saucers trying to back-engineer the propulsion system. You had been looking out through a doorway or through a porthole in the side of the device and that you had actually seen an extraterrestrial walking around on the outside of one of those devices. Lazar: "Devices" meaning disks? Caller: Yes. Lazar: No. Caller: So youre saying youve never seen an extraterrestrial at S4. Lazar: I really dont want to get into that. Caller: The reason I ask is because someone else is claiming that you have. Lazar: Well, stated the way you did, no I didnt. And I never did look and see an extraterrestrial. As the story goes and the reason I never bring it up is because I thought I saw something once while walking at a glance. And thats all there is to it. And I wont stand on that fact because it was just a fleeting glimpse. When I came back, whatever was there was gone. It could have been a million things. Caller: I have a contact that claims that you were responsible for determining that Element-115 was not in fact necessary to operate an anti-gravity propulsion device in the Earths magnetic field. Is that true? Lazar: No. Its the exact opposite. Caller: Why are you going public? Theres obviously a lot of other staff on the project that senses a great degree of loyalty. Lazar: The straw that broke the camels back was after I left the program, I became concerned about what happens now. I made a routine request for my birth certificate which I needed just for I.D. purposes. And I was told that it doesnt exist -- I wasnt even born at that hospital. I sat on that for about a week and just wondered. Then I began to inquire at previous jobs and also at other schools. And that information was also gone. I got the idea that soon someone was going to disappear, so thats when I contacted the TV station and essentially let everything out. Caller: But you left the program under very amicable circumstances? Lazar: No. Thats a long, involved story that I really dont want to get into. Caller: Are you afraid of any repercussions from the Govenment? Lazar: Oh yeah. I was really concerned at one time. Caller: Less so now? Lazar: Yeah, less so now. But you still keep in the back of your mind Caller: If anything would happen to you now that would cause such an uproar in itself, the last thing they would do would be to go anywhere near you. Lazar: Exactly! As someone said on the media somewhere, if therere following me now, its to make sure nothing happens to me. Caller: Did you witness any working models of the vehicle that were operational? Lazar: I only saw one operate. I saw one at close range while I was at the area and then at extreme distance -- about 15 miles -- when I brought some friends up to look at it. Caller: Using the technology thats being used, the craft are very agile, arent they? Lazar: Oh yes, very. In one specific mode of travel. Caller: In one direction at a time? Lazar: No. Theres 2 modes of travel. Theres a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode. I dont remember what they called them; they had a specific name for them. Caller: What was the size of the staff working on the project? Lazar: 22 people that I knew of in the area that I worked in. How extensive the rest of the facility was, I dont know. Caller: I understand you were frustrated at the size of the staff. You thought it should have been larger? Lazar: Oh yeah! Much! Caller: More could have been learned about the program more quickly? Lazar: Sure! I mean, 22 people cmon! Caller: Do you think we understand enough about the alien propulsion technology to build our own vehicles using this technology? Or are we even close? Do we know whats going on? Lazar: Yeah, we know whats going on. But the problem is substituting Earthly materials. And theres no easy way getting around that. Caller: How is Element-115 involved in the construction of the vehicles? Lazar: Everything seems to come down to 115. Its a super-heavy element. It seems that as you get into the heavier elements -- and Im sure this property extends into as-yet-undiscovered elements in excess of atomic number 115 that the ATOMIC gravity wave inside the atoms holding things together begins to extend outside of the atomic structure itself. Its this wave that can be tapped off in quantity small quantity, actually. This wave can be amplified, contained, and used for a useful purpose. Goodman: Are your radiation detectors for nuclear power plants? Lazar: Not nuclear power plants; weapon ...where they use plutonium. Goodman: Like the latest flight above us now? Lazar: The Galileo? Goodman: Yeah. Goodman: Are you involved with that, Mr. Lazar? Lazar: Not directly. Someone may have used our probes to detect ... Caller: Are they flying these vehicles within our city areas at any time? Lazar: I really dont know. I was only witness to a couple tests. I dont know how far they go. I think theyre very careful with them. I personally dont think theyre whipping them around the Solar sSystem because I dont know how proficient they are at operating them. Caller: Do you read any UFO literature in book form? Lazar: Nothing in book form. I occasionally get handed little tidbits here-and-there and glance at them. But no, I dont delve into reading. Caller: You mentioned some stuff on the Billy Meiers case. Have you read any of that information because you had mentioned that you had seen some pictures? Lazar: Yeah, I looked at the What caught my eye was certainly the -- whatever that books called Contact From the Pleiades or something -- but its essentially a picture book. Theres really no text in it. One of the craft in there looks strikingly similar to the one I call the Sport Model. Caller: What did you think of that similarity? Did that puzzle you? Lazar: Yeah, because originally I had kind of discounted the Billy Meiers stuff. But that craft looks AMAZINGLY like the one that I worked on. And another thing. Somewhere in that book they had a picture of a grassy field with three round indents in the ground. Now that would coincide with the 3 gravity amplifiers in the bottom of the craft and the imprint that they do make. So that kind of makes me believe that that really did occur. Caller: You said you didnt necessarily share the same views of Bill Cooper and John Lear as far as the big picture was concerned? Lazar: Im not exactly sure what each individual story is. John Lear has a specific story; Bill Cooper has a specific story. I do agree with both of them in the fact that, yeah, theres alien craft here and so on and so forth. John Lear thinks therere here to use us for food. I dont exactly remember Bill Coopers story. But the little intricate parts here and there. I just havent seen any evidence myself of it. I dont know what these gentlemen have found out on their own. Caller: From everything you know about it, do you believe there is a possibility there are benevolent creatures in the Universe? Lazar: Oh sure. Goodman: How would you describe this picture? Lazar: Its an interesting picture. It looks like a formation of 4 and a formation of 2 flying saucers. Goodman: That picture came in a box delivered to the Vagabond Inn. No name, no nothing. Just a note: "This picture was taken from the 29-1/2-mile marker on the day that I had the best time of my life thanks to you, Billy Goodman Happening." Thats all. Lazar: Theres even a distortion in the cloud behind a couple of them. Thats really interesting. Goodman: That is right up there where people have gone. Bob mentioned the same thing that I said when I saw that: "Boy, thats a daytime shot." Look at the smile on Bob Lazars face! Lazar: It would be interesting to magnify it to some degree. Very interesting. Theyre glowing the color that the crafts glow. Goodman: I dont know who you are out there. But I thank you very, very, very much because that is absolute, positive proof that they are up there in the sky having a good time. Do you think that theyre flown by alien beings? Or are we the military -- doing it? Lazar: I think that the ones that were testing ... The one that I was involved in -- I think -- is being flown by the military. Whatever else is going on I dont know. Was that picture taken over Area-51? Goodman: Thats right. And it looks like it. Recognize the peak? Lazar: Yeah. Of course, thats a daytime photograph. And I was told that all the testing was done at night. And ... I mean, thats interesting. Goodman: You described when you went inside one of these little puppies, that there were very, very small seats. Almost like a kindergarten type. Lazar: Right. Exactly. Goodman: So we have to have some small guys doing it. Jockeys or something? Lazar: No, no. You could squeeze into it. Caller: Do these craft appear to be shuttle craft and not the main craft? Lazar: I dont know how youd differentiate between the two. Caller: In most instances, people speak of them joining up with another craft and then going out of the atmosphere. Could the models youve seen be classed as "shuttle craft" in that respect? Lazar: I really dont know. Caller: They wouldnt carry a big fleet of people? Lazar: No, definitely not. They are small. Im guessing right in the mid-30-, 40-foot range, somewhere in there. And as far as carrying a lot of cargo or beings or whatever no, theres not a whole lot of room there. So possibly there is a larger craft that they join with, but I didnt see any. Caller: Are there more engines than there are craft at S4? Lazar: Thats a good question. Theres 9 craft. I really dont know. Caller: It would be something to explain how-in-the-hell we got more engines than we do craft. Theres got to be some kind of an agreement or somebody helping us. Lazar: Right. Theres certainly more fuel than there needs to be. Caller: Since they have released you and taken away your scientific livelihood, I hope you go on the national circuit, 60 Minutes, the Carson show, everything you can get on, and milk it for every dime you can get. Lazar: [laughs] Caller: You have a right to do that since they interrupted your career. But the important thing is to get this stuff into the hands of the scientific community that can do some good with it. Theyve been toying with it for years and nothings come out of it. We cant get anywhere. Weve got to get it out of the hands of these power-mongers. Lazar: I agree 100 percent. Caller: I think thats why you took people up there in the first place. You were tired of their games. Caller: Did you go inside all 9 spacecraft? Lazar: No, no. Just one. Caller: When you were inside the craft, did you see any indication that either through markings on the controls or otherwise, that these ships are from a different place? Was there any writing on any controls or anything? Lazar: No, not on controls and things like that. But I did see some evidence of writing. Caller: When you saw the slight demonstration that was performed for you, were you the only person that was there that saw this craft operate? Lazar: No, there were several people. I was standing right next to the person who was in radio contact with the craft. Caller: How long did this demonstration last? Lazar: It was a short duration. It lifted off the ground slid over to the left then back to the right and set back down. It was a very short duration. Caller: But you never saw who was at the controls? Lazar: No. Because when I was brought in, the craft was in the hangar. When I came out, it was already out of the hangar and sitting on well, sitting out away from the hangar some distance. So I dont know how it was brought out, who brought it out, who got in it. I can only guess. Caller: Is the entire thing underground? All 9 different hangars? Lazar: No, its not underground. Its just butt up against the side of a little mountain a little hill, kind of -- but its kind of inside the mountain. Caller: Do you feel that the billions of dollars that are being spent on the space program by the administration is a waste of money as we already have these ships in our possession ? Lazar: No, because look at all the technology that we did get out of the space program. Caller: Was it ever disclosed to you that these craft were on loan to us? Is there a chance of them being repossessed at any time? Lazar: No, none of that was ever disclosed to me anything about the origin. Caller: I heard a rumor earlier this evening that your van was shot at recently. Is there any truth to that? Lazar: I dont have a van. I was shot at in my car. Caller: It got passed on to me from the Video Clearinghouse in Yucaipa, and weve been keeping pretty close touch ever since this news broke. I did get a call yesterday from the National Enquirer. They might follow up and try and do something for you, Bob. The Enquirer is not exactly the best way you want to go, but at least it does have some national exposure. Caller: You said theres more fuel than necessary at the Test Site? Lazar: Yeah. I dont know exactly where it is, but theres 500 pounds. Caller: 500 pounds of Element-115? Lazar: Yeah. It takes 223 grams per craft, so theres definitely an abundance of fuel out there. Caller: Could you quickly describe the underside of these ships? Lazar: No, because I only saw from a side view of only one craft. The other ones were always sitting on the ground. I never saw it. But the underside is essentially flat. Now, I never got directly under it to look. There might be some features down there, but I really dont know. Caller: The reason I ask is because you were talking about the 3 distortions that can come down from the gravity engines to distort the graph. Are you aware of any time distortion within the saucer itself while they are running? Lazar: Yeah, there has to be. Caller: What about size distortion within the ship? Ive heard reports that people who have been in these that the inside seems much larger than the outside would indicate. Lazar: I have heard that too, but I havent really seen any evidence of that. [StealthSkater note: See the artificially-generated reality theory that the Montauk Projects Preston Nichols has on this in the "Nichols_1" file at => doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf] Caller: You were talking about the low- and high-speed modes and the control factors in there. Can you describe those modes, and what the ship looks like each time it is going through those modes? Lazar: The low-speed mode -- and I REALLY wish I could remember what they call these, but I cant as I cant remember the frequency of the wave The low-speed mode: The craft is very vulnerable. It bobs around. And its sitting on a weak gravitational field -- sitting on 3 gravity waves. And it just bounces around. It can focus the waves behind it and keep falling forward and hobble around at low speed. The second mode: They increase the amplitude of the field, and the craft begins to lift, and it performs a ROLL maneuver. It begins to turn, roll, begins to turn over. As it begins to leave the Earths gravitational field, they point the bottom of the craft at the destination. This is the second mode of travel where they converge the 3 gravity amplifiers -- FOCUS them on a point that they want to go to. Then they bring them up to full power, and this is where the tremendous time-space distortion takes place. And that whips them right to that point. Caller: Did you actually bench-test a unit away from the craft itself? Lazar: The reactor, yeah. Caller: About how large is this, and could you describe it? Lazar: The device itself is probably a plate about 18 inches square. I said "diameter" before, but it is square. Theres a half-sphere on top where the gravity wave is tapped off of. But thats about the size of it. Caller: Are there subjects you wont talk about regarding what was going on at Groom Lake at the project? Lazar: No, I dont think so. Caller: Do you have future plans for more publicity? Lazar: There are several networks that are interested. Caller: 60 Minutes? Lazar: Thats been mentioned, but I havent heard anything officially. Caller: Would you do it? Lazar: Yeah, Id do a major network thing. Sure. Caller: Are you familiar with the movie "Hangar 18"? Lazar: Yeah, I think I saw that when it first came out. Caller: Do you remember any parallels to what you know now? Lazar: I dont remember enough about the movie. Caller: The KLAS-TV program showed a Los Alamos newspaper article about you during the time that you were at Los Alamos. What paper was that? When was it written? Lazar: The Monitor, July 1982 or something like that. I think I still have a copy at home. Caller: Did the alien craft create harmful radioactivity in the area? Lazar: No. Caller: The woman talked about on the show a few days ago the child and the 2 women [Cash/Landrum case?] -- and they now have cancer. How did that occur? Lazar: Ive heard of that before. That sounds like a really poor attempt of us at producing a craft a nuclear-powered craft, really dirty, spewing nuclear material all over the place. It sounds like something that we would make. It really rings "human". Caller: Do the aliens appear to be the same physical makeup? From your research on the craft itself, can you tell if they are similar to us? By the way, it was designed? Lazar: Certainly smaller. Caller: But theres nothing other than that? Lazar: Not from the crafts. I read some material pertaining to what they call the typical "grey". I believe them to be that. Goodman: It was interesting when you asked for your birth certificate and you could not locate it. And they told you that literally you did not exist? They told you this in so many words? Lazar: They said we just have no records here. Goodman: And you felt that you didnt exist? Lazar: I felt that thats what they were trying to make happen. Goodman: Are you familiar with that type of thing being done? Lazar: No, I never heard of it before. I guess other people have. [StealthSkater note: The Soviet government has practiced this for decades whenever someone falls out of favor. KGB agents even substituted re-written textbooks and substituted them in libraries and schools. Sometimes after enough time has elapsed, the discredited person is restored to their former status. But usually not while they are still alive. The Soviet equivalent to our Werhner von Braun was just such an example. When their Saturn V exploded on the launch pad, the Soviet moon landing program came to an abrupt halt. Their remaining Saturn-like vehicles were scrapped. One was even used as a chicken incubator.] Goodman: Did you ever get your birth certificate? Lazar: Nope. Goodman: What about diplomas and things of that nature? Was there any record of any colleges you have attended? Lazar: George Knapp tracked down one. And they still had a record there. Goodman: All the rest are gone? Lazar: Yeah. Goodman: Have you called the colleges yourself and asked for copies? Lazar: Yeah. Yeah, just like I went and called Los Alamos, too. And they said no, you never worked here. And you know, Ive been there for years. You can present them with the information: look, heres my name in the [Los Alamos] phone book, here are the people that Ive worked with, here is the guy that I worked for, this is the project I worked on. And all they say is no. I mean its ridiculous! Goodman: And when youre talking to these people, Im sure there are some that probably are just working there they dont know any different. They are just checking the records and saying we dont have anything. Lazar: Right. You can hear them when you call up. They are checking on the computer. They will type in your name and it wont come up. So thats probably all they do know. Goodman: People should realize this nowadays especially you could be pulled out all of us could and anything weve ever done. If someone pulls your name out of a computer where youve worked before or youve had some past, you dont exist because the new person or a personnel director going in and checking Youre not there. You have no record of that individual. Lazar: Right. It depends on the level that you look into it, too. Like I said, George Knapp went out to Los Alamos. Thats where he got the telephone directory and spoke to someone that I worked with out there. And so on. Goodman: This mode of travel involved in moving these UFOs around can you see that being a mode of travel for us in the future. You said it only took grams of fuel. That sounds pretty good to me as far as being efficient. Do you think that its possible that we could be traveling like that in the future? Lazar: Well, obviously, "they" do. So I imagine its possible in the future. Goodman: Im talking about our automobiles. And do you have to be off-the-ground in order to travel like this? Lazar: Yeah, I think you do. Its not a very good mode of slow-speed travel. Goodman: Something else we talked about off the air. We might as well tell the people about it. Some strange things are going on in your life. You mentioned about car doors being opened. Describe what happened the other night when you and your Shelley left the house and you came back and the doors were wide open. What do you think about all this? Lazar: Its crazy! A friend of mine -- Shelley was over, and we went out to a bar to have a buffet. We went out, locked the door, checked everything. When we came back several hours later, all the doors are open. And nothing was disturbed in the house; nothing was taken. In her car that was left in the driveway, the seats were moved all the way back like someone big sat in them. Ive gone with other friends to a health club that I go to. We lock the doors and check them. In fact, I usually keep a gun in the car and put my wallet on the dash. Weve come out and the doors have been not just unlocked but actually open. And not even the wallet taken or the gun. Certainly kids would have done that. Its just like someone wants me to know that theyre still there. Goodman: The last time you were on the Happening, you revealed the gentlemans name Lazar: Dennis Mariano. Goodman: saying he was threatening you and was the biggest problem in your life. Have you had any problems with him since then? Lazar: No, not recently. No. Goodman: How would the anti-matter reactor act in a car? Lazar: I dont know if Id use that in a car. But if you wanted to, you could use it as a tremendous electrical power. Goodman: Which goes back to the beginning of time: We were going to have electric cars and were convinced we shouldnt have electric cars because we were told we would have to plug them in along the way. It wouldnt be necessary as they said years ago to plug in along the way to re-charge the batteries if we had something inside to generate Lazar: Right. Along the same lines, you could make a nuclear-powered car, too, running off Plutonium. Goodman: If we wanted to get involved with this anti-matter-reactor-type or mode of travel, wed have to have Element-115 ... Lazar: Right. Goodman: ... which you had in your possession at one time. Lazar: Yeah, thats one of the things I got. And that was my ace-in-the-hole. Goodman: And they got it off you. Lazar: Yeah. We did get it. For people that saw the KLAS tape where George Knapp points and says, "Its stored in containers similar to this one", well, that was one. And thats why we put it on there. It was kind of a jab at them to say we got it. That was the real ace-in-the-hole because if everyone came out and jumped on it and said this is all garbage and everything, you know, just to pop that out and say, "go check this!" Goodman: Listen, guys out there at Area S4: I know youre listening cause we heard this recently. Why dont you get some of that somehow to Bob? Why would that be your ace-in-the-hole? Lazar: Because anyone can verify that its an element that doesnt exist. Goodman: Boy, that would be wonderful if we could just get that! Any of you Mercury Workers up there that want to get involved and say that you do want to get involved, that might be a great way to help Bobs cause out and to prove his story, behind the story. Caller: Someone previously called in and said that some of the Mercury Workers had decided to get behind Lazar. Has Bob Lazar ever heard anything in relation to that? Have any of the Mercury Workers contacted him? And do any of them intend to go public as you have done? Lazar: I dont know what the situation is with those guys, if theyre for real or not. Ive got messages through people that someone called once and said there were 3 of them. And 2 of them were captured down at S4 being tortured. And there was another guy out here. And so I really dont know what the story is with those guys -- if theyre for real or not. Caller: Have you had any contact from other scientists that you had worked with or any other scientists either at S4 or any other scientists that dont work there? Lazar: Scientists that dont work there, yeah -- that I worked with at Los Alamos, sure. But none at S4, no. Caller: Since youve gone public with this, youve had contact with them calling you and wanting to know whats going on etc.? Lazar: Oh yeah. There were a couple that I gave information to as we were going along. And they knew what was going on already through me. Caller: If you had other people to back you up and support you, it might lend more credibility to what youre saying. Lazar: That was part of the idea of getting it on the news. I thought hopefully I would shake the tree and have these other guys come forward and all be able to corroborate the story and also have 115 under my belt. But that whole plan backfired. Caller: This is for them if theyre listening: The rest of us simply just dont have the guts to do anything, apparently. Lazar: I wish they did. Caller: Anything in the works with regard to any national television coverage or news media coverage of any sort? Lazar: Theres been lots of talk but nothing definite. Theres no date set for anything. But theres been a tremendous amount of interest -- national and international. Caller: I heard talk that theres a BIG underground base up there, too. Did you know anything about that? Lazar: Ive heard that story, but I have no first-hand knowledge of it. I havent been in any tunnels or any underground stuff. Caller: If these aliens that have these UFOs are obviously thousands-of-years advanced in technology, how in the world would it seem that the Government would come in possession of these UFOs if in fact the aliens didnt actually want them to have them? Lazar: I dont know. They look in very good condition. It doesnt look like they were crashed -- that they were retrieved somewhere. It really looks like they were given. So I dont know. That might be the case. Goodman: Have you ever given thought to the fact that maybe they were invited here. And they actually landed here and thats why they were here? Lazar: Yeah, its possible. Goodman: They could have come right to this area. Caller: On TV, you spoke of observing a demonstration of this anti-matter gravity wave controller device. And you made a mock-up copy? Lazar: A friend made one, yeah. Caller: I heard you speak of bouncing golf balls off of this anti-gravity field? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: And also about the candle, the wax, and the flame stood still? Lazar: Right. Caller: And then the hole that you saw appear Lazar: It wasnt a "hole" -- it was a little disk. Caller: Under what conditions did you see this demonstrated? Elaborate on this. And how large was the force field? Lazar: The force field where the candle was? Caller: The force field created by the anti-matter device. Lazar: It was about a 20-inch radius from the surface of the sphere. Caller: Where was this area? Just above the device? Lazar: Yeah, surrounding the sphere. Caller: Did the sphere surround the device? Lazar: No, the sphere sits in the center of the device. Its a half-sphere sitting on a plate. A field surrounds the half-sphere. Caller: And you just place a candle in there? Lazar: No, no, no. That was a separate demonstration. Im just telling you where the field EXTENDS from. Caller: Oh, thats what Im curious about. Lazar: No, they tap the field off using a waveguide --off of the sphere. And this is a completely different setup where they had a mockup small gravity amplifier. There were 3 focused into a point. And that area of focus was probably 9-or-10 inches in diameter. Caller: They displaced this area or moved this area? Lazar: No, it wasnt displaced. Its just where the field was generated. Caller: And in there, you put the candle? Lazar: Right. Caller: And that thing can actually bounce golf balls of it? Lazar: No, no. The golf ball thing -- again -- had nothing to do with that setup. The golf ball thing had something to do with just when the reactor was energized before the waveguide was put on or anything. I was just pushing on the field. It was being demonstrated to me, and we just bounced a golf ball off the top. Caller: And the candle: does it melt and the flame stand still in this disk that youre talking about? Lazar: Well, in the AREA -- yeah. Caller: You dont have to put it in the center? Lazar: Right. Caller: Just anywhere in the area? Lazar: Well, the actual flame of the candle was in the area in the center of the disk. Caller: And you saw this happen? Lazar: Yeah. Goodman: You dont show much emotion. Lazar: Maybe thats my nature. But thats what happens after 10 oclock if Im sitting in one place. Goodman: Im not being derogatory about it. Im just saying it seems like theres no emotion. Some of this stuff that youre talking about just gives me chills! We get mail from people at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and McDonnell Douglas. Would you like to work for people like that? Lazar: I dont know. Im kind of used to working for myself. I dont know about going to work for ... especially anything attached to the Government again, [look with] distrust Goodman: Off the air, I asked what would you like to see for the future and what could you do for humanity? He said he could talk about that. But the main concern right now is how he can support himself. I didnt realize you were having difficulty as far as that. Lazar: Oh no, not really difficulty. But its something always to look for. Goodman: How could anyone in our listening audience assist you? Lazar: Oh, they really cant. Therere several things I did before I began to get into the program up there. I used to race my jet car. Ill probably start that up again this season and expand my scientific business United Nuclear. Ill probably increase that into a sales field and things like that. Goodman: Okay. I just thought we could bring that up just in case there was someone out there that could use your services. What service do you offer if someone out there could use it? Lazar: Someone would have to be fooling around with Plutonium. There arent many people that do that. Goodman: Dont bet on that. You never know. Caller: Was the craft you worked on one that we made or was it one that was brought here by the aliens from another planet? Lazar: This is a craft of alien origin. Caller: That was brought here by them from another planet? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: Do we know anything about their way of life? Do they speak the same language or what? Lazar: I really dont know. I really know very little about that. Id LIKE to know a lot about that. You assume that they mass-produce the craft, so there must be some sort of factory somewhere. That means there must be workers in the factory. Do they have a social life? I mean, the questions are endless. Id like to know myself. Caller: And if they are here on this planet, where are they? Lazar: Thats another good question. You got me. I really dont know. Caller: If one walked up to my door, what am I supposed to do? Lazar: I dont know. I guess youll find out really quick if theyre benevolent or not. But as far as what to do, who knows? Goodman: Say youre up in Kansas out in a farmland and you see this person that looks really far-out. Do you think theyre just going to wait for them to come to the door? Or do you think theyre going to shoot and ask questions later? Lazar: Probably shoot and ask questions later ... Goodman: Thats the problem. Wouldnt that cause all kinds of consternation amongst these people if they find out one of their people were Lazar: Well, you have all the stories of the abductee reports, about medical examinations. I mean, they go through a lot of trauma and stuff like that. When it came right down to it if I was confronted by a bunch of them my car stopped or something to that effect, a craft obviously in sight yeah, Id take on a hostile attitude really quickly. Goodman: Unless you were told differently ... Lazar: Right. Goodman: by the Government: these people dont mean to harm you; theyre going to be landing in your cities, whatever. Just kinda act friendly. Caller: Do you think in the future our President will tell us on national television that the UFOs are here that he will make it known to us? Lazar: I doubt it. Caller: You dont think he ever will? Lazar: No, I dont think he could muster up enough to do that. Caller: One of the Presidents in the past was supposed to say that if he was elected, he was going to tell us all about it. But he didnt. Lazar: Carter. That tells you something right there because he never got in and denied it. He just got in and didnt say anything. Caller: Did you have a badge when you went to work? Lazar: Sure did. Caller: Did it have any designation on it? Lazar: As far as what? Caller: What did it say? Lazar: Its a white badge. It has 2 a light blue and a dark blue -- diagonal stripes through it. On the top it says MAJ-12. The clearance level is called MAJESTIC. I dont know if that means anything as far as the MAJESTIC-12 documents go. Or if they just called that clearance that as a nostalgia type of thing. My picture was on it ... Caller: Did it have both MAJ and MAJESTIC -- both words? Lazar: The only place I ever saw MAJESTIC was on Denniss [Mariano] badge, who was my supervisor. His badge looks slightly different. I dont know if it was an older kind or what. Caller: You mentioned you were doing back-engineering. But specifically, what was the breakdown of your duties? For example, for one day with respect to, say, what your co-workers were doing? What was the breakdown, the division of tasks? Lazar: I have no knowledge of what the other people are doing. Caller: But you were not working simply by yourself. Lazar: No, just with one person. Caller: And what was the difference between what you did and what he did? Lazar: Well, we were basically in the training phase. He was getting me up-to-date on everything, so we never split off. And you know, he went and did his thing and I ... Caller: Did you ever see an analysis or spectrogram of 115? Lazar: Yes. Caller: And what did that tell you? Lazar: Well, that it was an unknown element. Then we did density and weight calculations -- which are pretty basic -- and of course it was too heavy for its physical size. It was an X-ray spectrograph. I dont remember what other tests we did to it. Caller: How did you know what the times of testing would be to go up to the sites to view the object? And do you know where its being tested now? Lazar: Dennis told me the testing times. And of course, those were the times that I relayed to other people and we went out there. What was the other question? Caller: Do you know where its being tested now? Lazar: Oh, I have no idea. In fact if I was them, the last place I would test them would be S4. Caller: Are you familiar with Alnico 5 magnetic material we use here? Lazar: Yeah, its a common I never heard the 5 designation. Caller: Its a very dense magnet. Is that close to the material of 115? Lazar: Oh no, not at all. Thats an acronym for Aluminum, Nickel, Iron, and Cobalt. None of them are anywhere near it whatsoever. Caller: Are there portholes on that craft? Lazar: At the very top, there are "portholes". They are square, though. Caller: But they must be able to see by TV or ...? Lazar: I dont know. I just saw from the outside. When I was inside, I never I dont think I really even bothered to look up there. I dont recall. Caller: With the gravity generators running, is there thermal radiation? Lazar: No, not at all. I was never down on the bottom while the gravity generators were running. But the reactor itself -- theres no thermal radiation whatsoever. That was one of the really shocking things because that violates the First Law of Thermodynamics. Caller: The atomic weight of the 115 material: Is that heavier? We know the 115 atomic weight would be different from the gravitational weight. Is the gravitational weight of that material very heavy? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: How does that stuff break off? Do you saw it? Or does it grind up? How do you get to test grams or whatever it is? Lazar: I dont know. I really dont know how thats machined into it. I know it is machined, but I dont know if theres any special procedures employed. Caller: Does it melt? Lazar: Im sure it does. And just historically, all heavy elements are also toxic. I imagine it is a very toxic thing. What else? If you use the standard designations as started at 103, its name would be "UnUnPentium". Its symbol -- if its going to be plugged into the periodic chart -- would be UUP. In fact. I have a friend that gave it kind of a cute name. He calls it "UnObtainium". Caller: In your wildest dreams, do you think you would be able to create any of this stuff on Earth in order to do the same thing? Lazar: In fact, Im in the process of fabricating the gravity amplifier. But then, Im at a tremendous shortage for power. So yeah, I have even tried to do that stuff on my own. Caller: Is there any electronics as we know it -- chips or transitors? Lazar: No, nothing like that. Because of the tremendous power involved too, there was no direct connection between the gravity amplifiers and the reactor itself. Caller: Are the waveguides similar to what we use with microwaves? Lazar: Very similar. Goodman: You mentioned all heavy metals are toxic? Lazar: Yeah, they seem to be. Lead, Radium, Plutonium ... Goodman: Element-115? Lazar: You would just assume it would be toxic. Caller: Is Sector 4 also called Papoose Dry Lake Bed? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: Is it also in a place called Emigrant Valley? Lazar: Right. You can see Papoose Dry Lake from out of the hangar doors. Caller: In regard to the long-range method of travel, isnt a propulsion unit the wrong idea? I feel this device is creating a situation where it is diminishing or removing the localized gravitational field, and long-distance body that theyre heading toward is actually PULLING the vehicle rather than it being pushed. Am I correct in this? Lazar: The vehicle is not being pushed. But being pulled implies its being pulled by something externally. Its pulling something else to it. It is creating the gravitational field. Caller: Is there any relation to the monopoles which [scientists] have been looking for? Lazar: Well, theyve been looking for the monopole magnet. But then this [the UFO force] is a gravitational force. Caller: Different things, but exhibiting similar effects? Lazar: Right. Caller: Last night I saw a 4-door Japanese car. On the right-side, rear, passenger door, there were 3 9mm bullet holes about a 12-inch group. Is that the vehicle that was shot at? Lazar: No. Thats similar to my car, but they missed me. Caller: Do we give something in exchange for all this information theyre giving us? Lazar: I really dont know. I dont know what went on behind the scenes as far as how we got the technology. Caller: Did they give us the 115 in large quantities? Lazar: Yeah. 500 pounds is what Im told. The way Ive seen it, it comes in little thin disks close to the size of a half-dollar. Caller: Did you ever own any or Lazar: Yeah. Caller: What happened to it? Lazar: Its gone. I t was stolen out of my house along with some other stuff that I got from there. Caller: [By] the Government? Lazar: Thats what I assume. I hope its in their hands. Id hate it to be in A few people did know about it some UFO-related people -- and Id hate for unexperienced people to be in possession of the stuff. But yeah, that was taken. We did get some film of it and some film of it doing some really unusual things. Caller: How did you get hired at Area-51? Lazar: I was referred by a well-known physicist to talk to someone. And I really dont want to go all into that because then Im pointing fingers at specific people. Caller: Were everyones mouths shut where you worked? Lazar: Yeah. Everyone wouldnt let you talk. It wasnt a really happy environment. Everyone was just into what they were doing. And that was it. Caller: What year were you working up there? Lazar: Last year. Caller: I heard from someone I know thats a pretty good source that a small amount of Plutonium -- like a picogram -- might be good for you. Is that true ? Lazar: No, not at all. Goodman: What would you use Plutonium for? Lazar: To die. In the lungs, its almost immediate lung cancer. Its toxic in itself. The body has a tough time getting rid of it. Its just bad news. Goodman: And youre messing with it? Lazar: I dont have any at my house. Goodman: You said thats part of what youre working on. Lazar: Electronic equipment to detect Plutonium. Theyre called alpha radiation detectors or air proportional detectors. Goodman: Why do you want to detect the Plutonium? Lazar: They use them to screen personnel that are leaving an area thats been Plutonium-contaminated. They check equipment for Plutonium contamination, so on and so forth. Goodman: This is as bad as radiation? Lazar: Plutonium does produce radiation. Goodman: So its as bad as when theyve been clearing the people in nuclear power plants and stuff like this? Lazar: Yeah. Goodman: And youre devising a device thats going to be easier? Lazar: No. Our device is just less expensive. Caller: Can you list your credentials? Lazar: As far as what? Caller: Schooling, degrees. Lazar: I have 2 masters degrees. Ones in physics; ones in electronics. I wrote my thesis on MHD which is MagnetoHydroDynamics. I worked at Los Alamos for a few years as a technician and then as a physicist in the Polarized Proton Section, dealing with the accelerator there. I was hired at S4 as a senior staff physicist to work on gravitational propulsion systems and whatnot associated with those crafts. Caller: What school do you go to? Lazar: Id rather not say the reason being I am currently working with them under contract and Im having enough trouble with this as it is. Caller: Why did you leave the Groom Lake project? Lazar: I dont want to go into that either. Thats a big, long complicated story. It gets into my personal life too, and I dont want to get into that. Caller: Have there been any attempts made on your life? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: When was the last one? Lazar: There was only one direct one. I really dont remember when that was. Maybe 6, 8 months ago something like that. Just being shot at getting out on the freeway. Caller: Did another car drive by and shoot you? Lazar: Yeah. Caller: Are there any weapons on board the alien craft? Lazar: Not that I know of. Of course, the gravity generators themselves can be focused. I imagine that can be used as a weapon. Caller: How many alien people do they hold? Lazar: I dont know. How many people can you fit in a car? I imagine if theres a bunch standing up, you can pack them in there. Caller: Is Element-115 an extraterrestrial material? Lazar: Yes, definitely. Caller: How do you suppose the S4 project came to acquire 500 pounds if its not from this World? Lazar: I would imagine it came on one of the craft. Caller: Extra fuel, huh? Lazar: Maybe. Caller: How close can a civilian get to Area-51 or Emigrant Valley? What is security like? How many guards and so forth? Lazar: I think the closest you can get is probably about 10 miles. Then you get a mountain between you and them. Caller: A lot of patrols? Lazar: Oh yeah. Goodman: Off the air, you said you traveled one time on hydrogen in your car. Lazar: Yeah. I had a 1978 TransAm I converted to run on hydrogen. Goodman: We were talking about this one night as a new fuel for transportation. Is that more dangerous than gasoline? Lazar: It depends how its stored. Theres ways you can do it. You can store it as a gas, compressed in a cylinder where yeah, its dangerous and explosive. You can store it as a liquid -- cryogenic liquid where its also dangerous and explosive. Or you can also store it in a hydride a chemical that absorbs hydrogen like a sponge absorbs water. When its in that storage state, its really not flammable. You heat the chemical using the radiator water, or electrically, or the exhaust gas to produce the hydrogen. And theres only a small amount at a time ever produced. And in that instance, its a lot safer than gasoline. Thats the method I use. Goodman: In other words, we could put these in automobiles? Lazar: Absolutely, definitely. The only exhaust is water vapor -- essentially steam and very little oxides. Goodman: Where do we get hydrogen? Lazar: The most common place is from water. When you pass electricity through water, you break down the bonds and wind up with oxygen and hydrogen. Goodman: What could we be charged if we pulled up to a tank and asked for some water? Lazar: It takes energy to separate the water back into its molecular state or atomic state rather. Goodman: But forgetting what the components are inside the car, if a driver were to drive up, they would just have to put water into this particular unit? Could they make it that simple? Lazar: You could make it that simple, yes. Goodman: Has this been known for years in the scientific field? Lazar: Theres been plenty of cars that have been made to run on hydrogen. In fact, one state somewhere has their entire postal fleet with little jeeps that run on hydrogen. Theres a company called Billings Energy that does the conversions. Goodman: Why do you think its not being made readily available to us? Lazar: Theres probably lots of reasons. Youre looking at the oil companies... Goodman: Okay. Thats what I wanted to get to. Lazar: But you can always point your finger at them for anything. Goodman: But I mean its just being held back from us even though it could be here. Lazar: But youve got the problem of availability, too, if youre going to just use gaseous hydrogen. Goodman: What would it take to change our current motor in a car to accept this? Lazar: Not very much at all. Its very similar to a propane conversion. Goodman: Have you heard from Dr. Teller at all? Lazar: No. Goodman: Not one word? In other words, hes done nothing at all? Lazar: No. Goodman: You said were nowhere near being able to have an anti-matter reactor? Lazar: No, not at all. The first thing well come up with when we toy with that some more is -- and theres already been talk of it -- is an anti-matter weapon. Unfortunately, thats the easiest thing to produce. Well see that first before well see potential useful uses. Goodman: I was talking to Bob Lazar off-the-air, and Bob is a jet car driver. Thats how he relaxes doing 350 miles -per-hour. Caller: Are the 9 disks quite different in appearance? Lazar: Yeah. Theyre all completely different in appearance. Caller: Are they then perhaps from different star systems? Lazar: Could be. Caller: You said the one you looked at the Sport Model -- was from Reticulum, right? Lazar: Thats what I read [in the prepared briefing documents]. Caller: So that has the gravity propulsion system. But then some of the others may have some other type of propulsion system? Lazar: I was told that the reactors are all similar in them [the crafts]. And from that, I just assumed that the propulsion system is the same. But it is possible that the other ones have different propulsion systems, yeah. Caller: How many light-years from Earth to Reticulum? Lazar: 32, 33, 34 -- somewhere around there. Caller: They must get away from Earth before they amplify these gravitational systems, do they not? Lazar: They dont HAVE to. But it has to be a line-of-sight where they can move to. Caller: In other words, it wouldnt have any effect on the Earth even though it were close to it when they turned it on? Lazar: No. Caller: Where do the aliens fit into religion? They must say something about it. I heard that they had a bearing on us through religion -- perhaps through colonization. Lazar: Ive read some about that. You know, I dont want to go into that because thats going to upset everybody. Caller: What is the top speed of the craft? Lazar: Its tough to say a top speed because to say "speed", you have to compare distance and time. And when youre screwing around with time and distorting it, you can no longer judge a velocity. Theyre not traveling in a linear mode where they just fly and cover a certain distance in a certain time. Thats the real definition of speed. Theyre bending and distorting space and then essentially snapping it back with the craft. The distances they can travel are phenomenal in little or no time. So "speed" has little bearing. Caller: Is the laser part of their technology or their flying speed? Lazar: No, I havent seen anything along that line. Caller: Is Rockwell involved with that? Lazar: Not that Ive seen. Caller: Youve mentioned anti-gravity generator and anti-matter generator. Are they different? Lazar: Its not a gravity generator. Its a gravity amplifier. I get tongue-twisted all too often. The anti- matter reactor provides the power for the craft and the basic low-amplitude gravitational wave, which is too low of an amplitude to do anything. Its piped into the gravity amplifiers which are found at the bottom of the craft. There, its amplified into an extremely powerful wave. And thats what the craft is flown on. But there is an anti-matter reactor. Thats what provides the power. Caller: Last time I asked Bob Lazar about the hyper-light propulsion systems he had seen, he said the crafts have hyper-light capabilities -- i.e., beyond the speed-of-light. Do you know anyone in our government or who worked on the craft who might be from Earth who has taken those craft and flown past the speed-of-light to other galaxies? Lazar: I dont. And I dont know if they have been used for that. Caller: Is there any way to find how many of our guys on particular programs have gone to space, what theyre learning, exactly where they are now, and whether-or-not theres any tie-in with the "Alternative 3 Escape-Earth Plan" that supposedly the Government leaders are stirring up now? Is there any place that you know of that this information can be found? Lazar: I imagine if any of that is in fact true, it would be found in the midst of S4 or 51 down there. But how to contact those guys and actually get them to talk is a feat not yet attained. Caller: What is it that you are now doing since they have cut you off at the knees? Lazar: I do other scientific research and produce, design, and repair alpha radiation detection equipment. Caller: A number of copies of these broadcasts and the show on Channel 8 and all the other stuff has been getting around. Perhaps even internationally. Has anybody bothered you since you went public? Lazar: Other than the silly little things that have been done, no, nothing. Nothing big to be concerned about. Caller: Are you going to see you at any of these things like the January 7th conference ["An Evening With Bill Cooper"] or other symposiums in the future? Lazar: I dont think so, no. Caller: An onus on your head, it takes a lot of courage to keep coming back to the airwaves. I stand up and cheer as one. Caller: How do your MagnetoHydroDynamics studies relate to the hot spots in the Earths magnetic flux? And does that relate to the deep-hole theory -- the Soviet Unions plan? Lazar: I dont know what the Soviet Unions plan was. I looked at it from a power point of view as producing on a large-scale plasma-generated energy in a power-plant situation or producing something that would retrofit like a coal-fired plant that has a lot of waste heat and high-energy plasma. --- Page: Bob Lazar S-4 Account (/documents/1989-bob-lazar-s4-account) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Bob Lazar S-4 Account Analysis Analysis of media appearances describing the 1988-89 testing of exotic technology at S-4 Disclosure Rating — 4/10 This report distils Bob Lazars account of his S-4 assignment by comparing fifteen interviews and appearances from 1989 to 2026. Although the story remains broadly consistent, certain retellings introduce new details or small contradictions. These sources are merged here into one narrative.

The facility segregation is due to the required security clearance, Majestic (MAJ), for the projects at S-4. After two interviews, and a briefing with his manager Dennis, Lazar is employed through EG&G as a U.S. Department of Naval Intelligence civilian contractor. Between December 1988 and the first week of April 1989 he was flown in for a handful of late‑night sessions — historically stated as no more than seven, adding up to roughly forty‑five on‑site hours. However, in his 2026 retrospective, Lazar avoids providing a hard visit count or travel times, dropping the timeline tensions while retaining the episodic memories. His task, shared with a single lab partner, Barry Castillo, was to observe the operation of the propulsion system removed from one of nine disc‑shaped craft stored in a camouflaged hangar complex. In earlier accounts, this was described simply as an 18‑inch antimatter reactor and three gravity‑boost devices. By 2026, he describes a more elaborate system architecture: a reactor, amplifiers, emitters, and archway waveguides. This workstream is known as Project Galileo and is one of several codenamed projects at S-4 handled by the twenty-two-man team. The work never progressed beyond a vehicle tour, briefings, demonstrations, and simple field‑mapping — he reports no dismantling, no quantitative data collection, and no contact with the other eight vehicles.   Timeline Analysis Approx. dateTime on siteActivityJune 28 1982—Teller gives lecture at LANLDec 1, 5 19884 hEG&G first interview, "big" panel interviewDec 6 19884 hArea 51 visit, briefing from DennisMid‑Dec 19883 hS-4 orientation, medical exam, security paperwork, first hangar walk throughLate Dec 19886 hFirst bench demo: field discovery, hand‑testEarly‑Jan 19895 hBriefing room, skin-prick grid, pine-smelling liquid testMid‑Jan 19895 hSecond demo: golf‑ball and candle testsEarly Feb 19896 hThird demo: three‑booster light‑bending experimentLate Feb 19896 hFourth demo: wireless powering of meters, physical measurementsMid‑Mar 19895 hAuthorized outdoor hover test of the sport modelMar 22, 29, Apr 5 1989—Personal trips to Tikaboo Valley to view scheduled flightsApr 7 19891 hSecurity interview at Indian Springs, badge confiscated Note: Total logged work hours: ~45. A conventional physicist working full‑time over the same four‑month span would have logged about 480 hours, underscoring the limited scope of Lazars involvement. Lazar himself expresses skepticism due to the mismatch in title, activities, and responsibilities. Note: Unfortunately, in some accounts, Lazar states being at the facility 1-2 times per week, and in others only having visited the S-4 facility seven times. Within the calendar analysis tapes, his calendar from December 88 to April 89 references three specific trips for work, and two adjacent events (eg. doctor due to stomach bleeding, which in 2026 he softens to stomach cramps from a pine liquid that he "cant officially blame"). January 16 is the last date marked for work and is empty until Mar 22 when he watched a test flight with John Lear. His calendar marks April 6 with Indian Springs as the debrief date, and his recorded descriptions of the event differ from other retellings. Note: Lazars autobiography, published in 2019, has the greatest timeline differences when compared to previous accounts. The book compresses the Teller lecture into the same year, removes any details regarding the interview process, reorders lab and vehicle events, never mentions the doctors visit after the allergy test, and adds a travel trip to LANL for materials. Additionally, it changes the date of the third observation trip to April 2 (Sunday) and the subsequent Dennis interrogation to April 3 (Monday). However, it refers to April 2 as "another Wednesday." Reordering of reactor-bench, hangar tour, and hover events forces an internal contradiction: the craft cant fly while its core sits in the lab, so at least two discs are implied even within the autobiographys own timeline.   Recruitment and Clearance After contacting Edward Teller inquiring about potential work, Lazar is put in touch with a recruiting manager at EG&G. In late 1988 EG&G and a United States Navy representative interviewed Lazar in Las Vegas. There are several calls followed by one short interview, a 1.5 hour panel that focused primarily on behavioral questions over technical inquiries or expertise. Some time later, there was another "big interview" featuring a panel, including his future manager. After a medical check and polygraph he signed multiple secrecy agreements,. A project supervisor using the name "Dennis Mariani" delivered the initial briefing and arranged a badge that restricted Lazar to the propulsion compartment and adjoining laboratory.   Transportation and Site Access Each on-call began with a phone alert in the late afternoon or around 23:00. Lazar drove to McCarran Airport, boarded a Janet 737 bound for the Groom Lake main base, then transferred to a windowless gray bus for the thirty‑minute ride south to S‑4. The bus windows were blacked out to prevent visual orientation.   Facility Layout and Security The S-4 facility has a minimal exterior footprint, described as a row of nine semicircular hangar doors sculpted into the desert hillside with sand-like texture. Armed guards escorted Lazar everywhere — rifles were displayed during the first read‑in to emphasize secrecy. Cameras covered corridors, and all paperwork remained on site.   Briefing Room S-4 maintained a secure reading room stocked with about 120 blue folders. Lazar was escorted there for short sessions to study project summaries before laboratory work. The room was decorated with a poster of the Papoose Lakebed with a "Theyre Here" caption. The papers outlined Project Galileo and two sister efforts: Sidekick, a gravity-lensed beam weapon, and Looking Glass, a time-distortion experiment. Lazar learns he is a replacement for a former team killed when cutting into the reactor. The device explosion occurred May 1987. However, the destroyed reactor is never inspected or shown to him. At one point, Russian scientists were collaborating on another project workstream, but were removed permanently after the team achieved an unknown breakthrough. In addition to the S-4 projects, the folders also described craft from the Zeta Reticuli system, details of this star system, descriptions of the life from Zeta Reticuli, and the solar day timespan (90 hours). The folder describes this life visiting Earth for the last 10,000 years and cooperative exchange program that lasted until 1979. The briefing further comments on the nature of the extraterrestrials interacting with humans. The aliens possessed technology to anesthetize humans remotely by affecting the brain, effective only in a relaxed state akin to hypnosis and disrupted by stimulants or loud noise. They described humans as products of "externally corrected evolution," genetically altered 65 times, and referred to humans as "containers," though the purpose of this term was unclear. Extraterrestrial entities were sometimes referred to as "the kids." Lazar recounts these details with caution. He notes seeing an autopsy-style image showing a creature with a single large fused organ system, and observing two technicians seemingly sizing up a small seat for a doll-sized creature. Crucially, in later accounts, Lazar notes a warning from Barry: deeply absurd or bizarre material might have been deliberately salted into the briefing folders so that any leaks could be traced to specific individuals. He never verified these biological claims beyond the provided materials.   Craft Inventory Lazar reports nine discs in varying condition, with some variations of appearance or design, at least one in crashed condition, and one with a bullet hole, looking as if reclaimed from water. The model assigned to him — the "sport model" — was described in 2026 as exactly 16 feet tall and 52 feet 9 inches in diameter, with a smooth metallic surface and a central entry hatch on the upper half. S-4 staff had different names for the vehicles, but Lazar used colloquial language to differentiate the vehicles. The "sport model" is the only vehicle Lazar inspects. Inside, the seats were child‑sized, reinforcing his view that the craft was not engineered for human operators. The interior featured archways that acted as waveguides, and during one session, an archway became transparent revealing slow-moving black symbols that resembled Korean writing. Below the flooring, accessed via a honeycombed lower hatch, hung three black gravity emitters.   Reactor and Propulsion Bench Sessions Laboratory work occurred in a separate room adjacent to the hangar line. Equipment consisted of standard oscilloscopes, EM probes, and power meters that ran wirelessly once the reactor activated. In his earlier accounts, a typical session outline was described as: inserting a millimeter‑thick Element 115 chip into the reactor tower, closing the lid, and watching the device start itself. A rigid repulsive field formed a centimeter above the dome. By his continuous 2026 telling, the device utilizes a 223-gram wedge of Element 115 (sufficient for "20–30 years" of fuel), operating on a 7.46 Hz carrier-wave frequency. The startup mechanism also drifts to claim the reactor would only activate via load sensing when an emitter was rotated past roughly 20 degrees. The generated repulsive field is described as "elastic." Demonstrations included hand‑pressure tests, a golf‑ball trajectory deflection, and a lit candle freezing in mid‑flame — an effect Lazar later argued could indicate the force is not actually "gravity" but an unknown equivalent force. The setup also produced a dark, lightless focal ball from the emitter. Despite generating an intense field, no heat rise was detected on the casing, even at full output. Lazar also details two flight modes for the craft: Omicron (using one emitter for local operation) and Delta (using three emitters for deep-space jumping in pulsed increments). The handling and removal of Element 115 changes across retellings. In early accounts (1989-1999), Lazar recalls stealing Element 115 from the facility and taking it home. In his 2019 autobiography and 2026 accounts, he adds a trip to LANL to machine an alloy covertly named LA-1000, packed strangely in aerogel to disguise the material. By 2026, he fuses these two previously contradictory strands, claiming both the aerogel transport to LANL and the simultaneous possession of a piece of Element 115 at his home, where he tested it in a particle accelerator.   Flight Demonstrations Observed Lazar watched one authorized test from inside the facility: the disc lifted ten feet, drifted laterally, and returned to the pad, emitting a faint hiss and soft blue glow. Off‑base he and his friends watched similar maneuvers three Wednesday nights in March and April 1989, leading to his security breach when guards detected his group filming the event. Lazar takes friends to a public road near S-4 to observe high-performance test flights on three Wednesday nights in 1989, driven by his growing paranoia and desire to protect himself by sharing evidence of the crafts existence. The group witnesses a bright light, orange in color (duller, with brown tones, unlike the blue corona of the low-performance test), appears above the Papoose Mountains, approximately 45 degrees above the horizon. The craft performs a "staircase maneuver," moving rapidly up and laterally (e.g., to 60 degrees, then 30 degrees to the right), appearing to jump instantaneously between positions. In later, more dramatized retellings (2026), the second sighting involves the craft coming very close to the observers (around 75 yards away), powering up intensely bright, and suddenly "disappearing" without a sound. Despite heightened surveillance and paranoia, Lazar organizes a third trip, now including Tracys sister Kristen, aiming to witness another test flight. Before the test flight could begin, Lazars group was stopped by security and a state trooper, questioned about their presence and headcount, and prevented from observing the craft.   Lazar Clearance Revoked Following the incident, Lazar is called by his manager Dennis, instructed to pick him up, and they drive together to Indian Springs. Once arriving at Indian Springs Air Force Base on April 7, Dennis and others questioned him. In later retellings, this debrief becomes far more hostile, featuring guards with M-16s, a rifle barrel poking Lazar in the chest, and an explicit dismissal of a "stop sign story" alibi he had discussed on a tapped phone line. His interrogators read from transcripts detailing his wifes affair with her flight instructor, and his clearance is revoked. He went public with KLAS‑TV reporter George Knapp the following month.     John Lear Variations Lazars friend, John Lear describes Lazars final work day as Tuesday, March 21 in an interview with Art Bell on Coast to Coast. Lears account of Apr 5 differs significantly in tone and menace of the guards. Lear also recounts variations of the events of 7 April ranging from Lazar deciding on his own to not return to work to Lazars boss picking him up, taking him to Indian Springs, and his boss giving him an open-ended second chance to return to work.   Outside of S-4 Lazars tapes set out a busy life that generated ordinary paper trails. Where matching records are known public-domain items, the activity looks solid — where the trail is blank, his account stays uncorroborated. Here we map Lazars concurent civilian activities during the same S-4 work period.

Compared with a standard 40‑hour research week over sixteen weeks, Lazars claim represents about ten percent of normal exposure, explaining why his narrative centers on a few vivid demonstrations rather than continuous daily work.   First‑Person Sources and Missing Data This analysis is from Lazar first-person statements. Sources include KLAS‑TV "Dreamland" segments, an "On The Record" follow‑up, Omni magazine, Timothy Goods Alien Contact, a Rachel, Nevada Q‑and‑A, Coast to Coast AM radio appearances, a Joe Rogan Experience episode, statements on the United Nuclear website, and his memoir Dreamland. Lazars statements were then compared against 38 third party sources including commentary, investigations, and public civil documents. His co-produced video, The Lazar Tape..., self-released six tape transcripts, and autobiography Dreamland offer the greatest depth and detail. No shift logs, element 115 procurement records, or instrument traces have been released. Lazar never saw the propulsion units disassembled, never handled the other eight craft, and never produced technical reports beyond personal recollections. Although Lazar refers to himself as "a trained scientist," he has not published any primary research that would allow the scientific community to independently evaluate or build upon his reported work at S-4. Until such material appears, his entire S‑4 resume rests on his spoken testimony. The following is an extensive expected evidence log that would help corroborate the story.

This later iteration utilizes a new evidentiary framing model reliant on independent corroborative props such as contrast-enhancing a 17-mile private aerial photograph to reveal hangar-like rectangular doors in the mountain, comparing early Google Earth terrain datasets to show disappearing terrain textures at the S-4 coordinates, and producing stamped 1989 Department of Interior maps verifying public topographical documentation of Papoose Lake roughly mapping his disclosures. While the fundamental claim that he witnessed exotic technology reverse-engineering remains stable, the exact mechanical explanations and timeline constraints shift dramatically to seal early narrative vulnerabilities.     Narrative Comparison Topic1989 Original Baseline2026 Additions & ShiftWhat ChangedAmount of time on siteImplies ~7 visits and ~45 hours.Avoids any hard numbers or duration limitations.Strategic omission of the weakest point.Briefing material hedgeMentions reading absurd Zeta Reticuli data.Emphasizes Barrys warning that absurd data is salted to trace leaks.Important defensive hedge added to the wilder claims.Element 115 custodyOriginally removed a piece to his home.

Web-of-Science keyword tallies (run 27 Jun 2025; title + abstract search for "element 114" OR "Z = 114" OR "eka-lead", etc.) show: Element1970-79 papers1980-88 papersPredominant topics114 (eka-lead)~83~37shell-model predictions, chemical bonding theory, natural-occurrence searches115 (eka-bismuth)~20~16atomic-structure calculations, relativistic effects116 (eka-polonium)~6~9negative accelerator attempts, cosmic-ray & mineral searches Element 114 received roughly triple the attention of 115 and an order of magnitude more than 116 before 1989, reflecting its central role in stability forecasts. Theory outweighed experiment — no confirmed synthesis occurred until 1998-2000, so most early papers were shell-model, relativistic atomic, or natural-search analyses. By the late 1980s interest dipped as failures accumulated. Activity revived only once 48Ca fusion methods proved successful in the 1990s.   The Lazar Tape analysis [The Lazar Tape](/documents/1991-the-lazar-tape) represents the strongest science communication created by Lazar. Co-produced with Gene Huff, Lazar goes in-depth into the S-4 technology. Here, we analyze what appears in the science, and what we would expect from a dual-masters physicist. The opening section presents a talk aimed at curious lay listeners. It mixes familiar high-school physics facts (speed of light, inverse-square gravity) with S-4 speculative elements (two kinds of gravity, element 115 power source). No equations appear, and every "lesson" is couched in story-telling and hand-drawn graphics rather than formal derivation or data. The vocabulary is purposefully technical-sounding yet simplified — strong nuclear force is renamed "Gravity A," black-hole analogies stand in for metrics, and antimatter-annihilation is illustrated with a map of Baghdad rather than energy–mass formulas.

Perfect for the home video audience, but does not showcase advanced or exceptional knowledge.   Bayesian Reasoning Bayesian reasoning lets us update the odds of different explanations as new evidence appears, even when proof is incomplete. It forces us to weigh all clues and make our uncertainty explicit, rather than just picking facts that fit a story. In the Lazar case, it combines scattered evidence into a single, rational estimate of which scenario is most likely. The dossier presents a tightly ordered timeline and source trail. Its completeness lets it act as a diagnostic gauge for deciding whether the Lazar story is (a) a managed partial disclosure — a "limited hangout" or (b) a private fabrication that snowballed into a commercial persona. Here we will outline markers for priors, and start from a generous 50:50 probability.     Potential limited‑hangout markers MarkerDocumentation in dossierWhy an intelligence service might prefer itSlow additive drip, never a primary proofFourteen recorded appearances across three decades adjust minor details; no lab notes, payroll, or sensor dataMaintains public attention yet prevents verificationBuilt‑in resume gapsMIT/Caltech degrees, LANL title, Element 115 souvenir collapse under basic vettingObvious flaws inoculate real programs: skeptics walk away, believers focus on spectacleTightly cordoned time‑and‑place windowClaims stop at 1988‑89 and a single hangar; reactor internals forever “off‑limits”Releases enough lure to steer rumor mills while shielding any parallel hardware workSingle first‑stage media conduitInitial leak runs through KLAS/George Knapp, a regional station with loyal UFO viewershipControlling the first frame reduces risk; national outlets can cite or ignore it laterNarrow, non‑fatal pressurePhone taps, home inspections, security interview, freeway shooting — all alarming yet non‑lethalShows muscle to boost the tale’s gravity without creating a martyrWednesday night “demos”Predictable flights let Lazar impress friends yet guide crowds to safe vantage points far from Groom LakeA staged spectacle can hide genuine test activity behind folklore distraction     Markers of an ordinary hoax or personal myth MarkerDocumentation in dossierWhy it weighs against state directionEver‑rising internal contradictionsCalendar tape lists seven visits; autobiography relocates events to April 2; craft appears in two places at onceProfessional psy‑ops scripts stay self‑consistentNo long‑term institutional coverBankruptcy, fireworks fines, pandering conviction — penalties a protected asset usually dodges or sealsLimited‑hangout assets are normally buffered from routine law‑enforcement frictionAmateur‑level technical talk“Gravity A/B,” candle‑in‑force‑field demo, zero math beyond high‑schoolDeception shops hire experts to craft content that survives peer review longerSingle‑point failureRemove Lazar and the narrative collapses; no coworkers, guards, or payroll trail in 36 yearsA managed leak typically seeds multiple corroborators to harden the surface storyDirect cash harvest by the tellerSelf‑shot video, Testors model royalties, paid lectures, memoir salesMonetization undercuts the quiet message‑shaping aim of official disinformationDecades of FOIA digs yield nothingZero “Project S‑4” traces while other black programs leave administrative residueA total archival void is likelier with individual fraud than with compartmented projects The file shows two irreconcilable clusters.

Lazar consistently describes a brief assignment at S-4, involving reverse-engineering an alien antimatter reactor and gravity-boosting devices from a disc-shaped craft, the "sports model," and taking his friends three times to watch Wednesday night demonstrations in late March, early April 1989. These story elements appear in all accounts. However, the details and chronology often shift — including the number of S-4 visits, the sequence of lab and craft events, the alleged poisoning from a pine drink, the involvement of Russian scientists at S-4, a hand scanner for access to site, the removal of Element 115, the issuance of a personal firearm, specifics from the Government Bible, security incidents after the third flight night, and the reasons for his dismissal. His narrative also includes scientifically implausible elements, such as effortless gravity manipulation, that contradict established physics.   Discussion Lazars storytelling uses predominantly colloquial language and stories when describing companies, education, government, and science. You find similar language used by those adjacent to, but not within, those organizations. Government employees will reference common, specific forms signed (e.g., 10-year secrecy paper vs. 312). Masters students and scientists will describe gravity and other concepts with specific language (e.g., "weak force" vs. "gravity A"), reference existing frameworks or equations (Riemann tensors, energy-mass conversion), and distinguish speculation from measurement with non-binary confidence intervals. While not conclusive, it points toward someone commenting from the outside looking in. Civil paperwork, court dockets, and local journalism track Robert Lazars life with surprising clarity — marriages in California and Nevada, a 1986 Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a 1990 pandering conviction, and a 2007 federal fireworks fine all sit in open archives. By contrast, not a single primary record has surfaced for his headline-making claims of elite degrees, physics posts or secret-base pay. The mismatch lets us flag which parts of the narrative almost certainly collapse under normal evidentiary standards. Lazar claimConflicting / missing evidenceComparable records that do existM.S.

His personal life proves that mundane paperwork endures. Its wholesale absence precisely where validation would be simplest signals fabrication far more plausibly than a government-wide erasure campaign. While the story aligns with secrecy plausible in classified settings like Area 51, the absence of corroborating witnesses, documents, or physical evidence, combined with the extraordinary nature of the claims, suggests skepticism is warranted. Additionally, Lazar actively participated in media creation for decades while claiming no interest — The Lazar Tape (1991), Testors S4 UFO (1996), unfinished movie scripts (1996-1999), Dreamland autobiography (2019). These projects, along with shifting details, point closer to imagined fiction from a fanciful mind profiting from the commerce of storytelling. There is the possibility of secret government programs, recovered craft, back-engineering programs, passive material, or limited hangouts as public comms strategy — however, Lazar as a messenger presents more questions than answers or evidence.   References - [KLAS-TV "Dreamland" interviews (1989)](/documents/1989-11-13-lazar-klas-tv-interview) - [On The Record KLAS-TV interview (1989)](/documents/1989-12-09-knapp-lazar-interview) - [files.afu.se](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/0%20-%20Articles/United%20States/OMNI/1994%2004%2000_OMNI%20-%20Military%20UFO%20Insiders.pdf) - [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780688135102) - [Rachel, Nevada Q&A transcript (1993)](/documents/1993-lazar-ultimate-ufo-seminar) - [coasttocoastam.com](https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/lazar-bob-5916/) - [open.spotify.com](https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Gg4Qi578G5SXoEtaLVVpx) - [unitednuclear.com](https://unitednuclear.com/area-51-c-86/) - Dreamland: An Autobiography, Bob Lazar, 2019 - [projectgravitaur.com](https://projectgravitaur.com/) - [vimeo.com](https://vimeo.com/317142966) - [The Lazar Tape... and Excerpts from the Government Bible, 1991](/documents/1991-the-lazar-tape) - [jp-robinson.com](https://www.jp-robinson.com/single-post/Anatomy-of-a-Spacecraft-The-Bob-Lazar-Testimony) - [2015 IUFOC Bob Lazar interview](/documents/2015-lazar-iufoc-knapp) - [1993 MUFON Ultimate UFO Seminar](/documents/1993-lazar-ultimate-ufo-seminar) - Nevada Secretary of State, Fictitious Firm Filing #1987-4092 - U.S. Bankruptcy Court NV Case 86-01141 docket - [Lazar Tapes](/documents/1999-lazar-videotaped-interviews) - KLAS-TV raw footage, taped 15 May 1989 - Las Vegas Review-Journal, 12 Feb 1989, p.

Lazar said he is tired. - Lazars Purpose in Going On-Air: Although Lazars main stated purpose in appearing on the broadcast is to protect himself, caller Bill Cooper says one of Lazars motives is anger (previously expressed privately to Cooper) that billions of dollars are needlessly wasted in the normal U.S. sectors by those without access to this alien technology. Lazar agrees. Lazar says another reason for appearing is to correct erroneous information he had heard on previous broadcasts. Billy Goodman says Lazars, Bill Coopers, and John Lears lives are “on-the-line”. And that Lazars best protection is the media, which is keeping him alive. Lazar hopes "other people out there” working at S4 will loosen up, come forward, and join with him to present their information as one, as a group. He doesnt want to be “the lone ranger”. Congressional amnesty -- suggested by a caller -- would be nice says Lazar, but merely offers freedom from prosecution. By coming forward, he concedes, the other S4 workers have everything-to- lose and nothing-to-gain. But Huff says there has to be a moral guideline where national security has to hang in the balance, and the reporting of the existence of alien spaceships is where you draw-the-line. Caller Bill Cooper says there is “a higher value” that those at S4 should consider as a reason for coming forward to join Lazar. But Lazar makes a point of distinguishing his whole view of the UFO situation from that of John Lear or Bill Cooper. - Verification of Lazars Background Lazar said he worked at S-4 a "restrained military environment" in Nevada -- from 12/88 to 04/89 In response to callers who want independently to check up on Lazar, he says his “colorful” background has already been checked by George Knapp of KLAS-TV who had traveled to Los Alamos Laboratories and had spoken to former Lazar colleagues. They confirmed he really had worked there in spite of Los Alamos itself denying the fact of Lazars employment with them. (Knapps UFO broadcast displayed a page from a 1982 Los Alamos Labs internal phone book listing ‘Robert Lazar. It turns out that Los Alamos Labs was being overly “technical” with Knapp. Its true that Lazar was not an employee of the Federal government. Rather he worked for Kirk-Mayer, one of the on-site contractors at the lab. Typical government attempt to evade the truth.) Caller Bill Cooper -- who says he has talked to Lazar for over-a-year -- says that by talking to persons at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and at another facility, he and associates have confirmed Lazars previous work in physics at the places specified. Lazar replied he was not aware of this checking done by Cooper. Responding to an “investigator” caller wanting Lazar to give him private info in order to check him out, Lazar says he himself once took a correspondence course to be a private “investigator”. He further said he has 25 people wanting independently to check him out. But he will not allow that. Although Lazar admits he was paid by check (by the Office of Naval Intelligence), he refuses to discuss anything about the check stubs. - Lazars Clearance Level: He says neither REECO (Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co., Inc.) nor EG&G each a well-known U.S. Dept. of Energy Test Site contractor -- has their representatives at S4 (unless they are in-turn subcontracted out to a Federal agency like he was). The typical REECO or EG&G worker can get a maximum clearance of Q. Beyond Q, it is highly compartmentalized on a "need-to-know basis" with the highest level being around 34 levels above Q. His own level was 28 levels above basic Q. The closest to S4 that a Q-clearance worker gets is Area-51. - Threats Made to Lazar / Gunfire : When Goodman refers to Lazars telling him before the broadcast that he had been shot at, Lazar says he doesnt want to talk about it. Lazar says he was called to go back to work, but officially refused because he didnt like the idea of returning to that isolated place in the desert where they could do what they wanted to him. However, he says his clearances had not been revoked at-that-time. Lazar says the executive powers at S-4 have run amok and there are no checks and balances. Congress, he says, has no knowledge of all this. Lazar says there are no lengths to which the military will not go to conceal this information. - Mind Control Suspicions: He contacted hypnotherapist Layne Keck of Serenus Clinical Hypnosis in Las Vegas because there were a couple of days where he remembered only going out in a plane and coming back, but nothing in between. He suspected mind-control had been performed on him. Lazar purposely selected Serenus because it had nothing to do with UFOs. A Las Vegas "Yellow Pages" ad says: Serenus Clinical Hypnosis, Helen Baucum, 30 years Experience, “Pin-Point” Method, Children Our Specialty Weight Control, Stuttering, Bed Wetting, Nervous Tensions, Smoking, Drinking, Memory Retention 384-4420 1833 W. Charleston (across from S. Nevada Memorial Hospital) Under hypnosis, Lazar recalled intense drilling, threatening actions taken against him, and his drinking of “pine” which the hypnotherapist said was similar to the “Orion Method" of regimented hypnosis used by the military. Per Huff -- after first telling Lazar that his phone was tapped the military later threatened him because having monitored his phone, they knew that he was planning to release information about the alien craft. Huff says the military were amazed that the drugs and hypnosis had not worked [SS: probably because the “colorful” Lazar was already taking certain “recreational drugs" that counteracted the militarys drugs to some degree]. Although he is afraid, Lazar hopes they wont come after him now since he has already revealed what he knows to the entire media. - Location of the Saucers: He says the 9 saucers are not at the super-secret Area-51 (Groom lake) of the U.S. Governments Nevada Test Site but at S4 -- 10-miles south of Area-51. The disks are only at this one place. However, to go to work, Lazar flew (by plane) to Groom Lake, waited a short time at a café, and then got on a bus [with blacked-out windows]. Lazar says he knows someone who drills tunnels at the Test Site, but no mention is made that this individual also works at S4. [SS: could it be Phil Schneider, who claimed he was part of the human- vs-alien "Dulce, NM” war?] - “Bad” Aliens Killed S-4 Workers: Lazar said he was told the aliens were not necessarily benevolent. Some humans were killed in a conflict after a U.S. military intelligence power play, after which point a previously ongoing technology/information exchange ended. Huff says Lazar earlier told him and Lazar agrees he had said this that he was told this exchange-of-information occurred between the aliens and human scientists & security personnel. But although the aliens had allowed themselves to be under constant guard, they insisted that there be no loaded weapons during a demonstration of a generated "field" (for fear the field would cause the gunpowder to detonate spontaneously). The security people ignored that demand, and they all died from mysterious head wounds. The aliens even killed the scientists they were teaching. [SS: folklore says this occurred around 1979 in underground levels at the Dulce, NM complex where 66 Secret Service/FBI/CIA, Army “Black Berets” and Air Force "Blue Berets" agents comprising a "Delta- Force" were killed in an attempt to free scientists taken hostage by the aliens.] Lazar said during an attempt to cut open a small reactor taken from one of the alien disks in a underground blast site, it exploded and killed the 3 scientists conducting the operation. Lazar said he was told that he was being hired to replace one of those guys. His main role was to further define the Element-115 which was the primary “fuel” in the reactor and also whose strong nuclear force extended beyond the perimeter of the nucleus (unlike any other element in the Periodic Table) and used to counter gravity. Responding to a caller, Lazar says talking about aliens is NOT a touchy subject for him. Aliens exist, he says. - Time of Saucer Test Flight: The tests of the saucers at S4 are Wednesday nights. Lazar says he was fired because he showed people where and when these tests were performed. - Who Pilots the Test Flights? Lazar says the experiment UFO flights at S4 are flown either by remote-control or by human pilots -- not by the aliens. - Origin of the Saucers at S4: Lazar said he and other scientists read briefings which alleged that the alien vehicles he saw close-up in the camouflaged hangers came from “another world: the 4th planet out from the Zeta Reticulum binary star system” [SS: the same as on Betty Hills map?] - Description of the Saucers: He says he touched one of the 9 UFOs and even stood in its doorway. He says the saucers mostly appeared “like new. One of them looked the Billy Meier (Switzerland) saucer. (On George Knapps recent series UFOs: The Best Evidence (KLAS-TV, Las Vegas), Lazar says one of the saucers “looked like it was hit with some sort of a projectile. It had a large hole in-the- bottom and a large hole in-the-top the metal bent out like some sort of large caliber 4-or-5-inch shell had gone through it.”) The inside of one craft appears made of “wax” and then cooled-off like a cast or mold of one thing with no rough edges. Inside were small chairs 1 or 1-1/2 feet as though made for little kids. [SS: Compare with the story told by the Roswell funeral home worker who said the military had purchased all of their baby caskets in stock for the secret purpose of holding the Roswell alien crash victims.] - Nine S4 Saucers Extraterrestrial – Not Earthly: The 9 disks he saw up-close -- including the one he worked on -- were not earthly and were definitely extraterrestrial. Lazar cant say whether-or-not the other disks he saw at a distance during testing (seen on video presented in George Knapps broadcasts) are man-made or extraterrestrial. - Physics of the Saucers at S-4: Lazar says the vehicle attaches itself to a distorted portion of space- time and returns with the distortion. "Its a new physics." The vehicles brought a space-time warp with them. Lazar says it appears the theory & technology is about 200-300 years beyond present-day Earth science. Lazar says the propulsion technology should properly remain classified since everything at S4/Area- 51 is looked-at from a weapons point-of-view. A lot is directly applicable to weapons systems, he says, and he has no intention of releasing it. His work was in “Project Galileo” an attempt to back-engineer the alien disks using Earth materials. Also taking place at S4 was “Project Sidekick” -- using an alien-derived “gravity lens” to develop a particle beam weapon. And “Project Looking Glass” which explored the “physics of looking back in time”. He says the craft uses gravity as a lens and the power source is based on a matter/anti-matter reaction that forces E-115 to transmute under proton bombardment and release anti-protons. Two modes of travel for saucers at S4 : (1) When traveling around the surface of a planet, the vehicles balance on a gravity wave or ride a wave like a cork on the ocean. In this mode they appear unstable at times and can be affected by the weather. (2) For interstellar travel, they use gravity generators. But if they fly around the surface of Earth in his mode, they may “flip over”, a phenomenon that Lazar says has frequently been observed in past sightings in the published UFO literature. Two “gravities”: “A” & “B. Gravity B is the normal General Relativity gravity that we are all familiar with. Gravity A is commonly called the ‘strong nuclear force which holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of any atom. It is one of the 4 basic forces in our Universe. Its effects generally cannot be measured beyond the perimeter of the nucleus. For some unknown reason, this force in Element-115 extends beyond its nucleus whereby it can be “tapped” and amplified. This Gravity A “field” is out-of-phase and is like a wave generator. It is a longitudinal generation not spherical, as a caller suggested. - Project Aurora: Lazar says ‘Aurora is not a UFO and is the replacement for the SR-71 spyplane. It requires a 3-mile long runway and makes a sound like continuous explosions. It has speeds up to Mach- - [SS: It is powered by liquid methane in its high-risk ramjet prototype engines.] - No Alien Cattle mutilations? As far as HE knows, Lazar says, there is no alien UFO tie-in with cattle mutilations. - Few Abductees? More persons claim to be abductees than have actually been abducted, suggests Lazar. [SS: Indeed, a growing consensus is that people have been kidnapped by covert agencies and had mind-control used on them to implant false memories of being kidnapped by aliens. The same thing was hypothesized for the famous Betty & Barney Hill abduction] - No ‘Blue Diamond Entry Way for Saucers: Notwithstanding UFO watchers congregating at Blue Diamond, Lazar says there is only a gravity anomaly around ‘Blue Diamond and not an “entryway” for saucers into our Universe. - Other Physics Comments by Lazar: Time Travel: GRAVITY affects time. Everyone knows that. Take an atomic clock to a high altitude, then bring it back and compare with one at sea level. The times will be off by a very small amount. Moving Forward in time “is a breeze”. All you need to do is get close to a gravitational field. Moving Back in time “might also be possible" [SS: and was the object of research in S-4’s “Project Looking Glass”] Multiple Dimensions: “Some physicists today invoke superstring theories to simply add other dimensions to the Universe whenever they cant explain something." Laser Fusion: referring to laser fusion experiments as “stupid”, Lazar refers to a location where they have been conducted. Plutonium: Lazar also speaks of a process of squeezing Plutonium. M-42: in response to a callers question, Lazar says "M-42" is a galaxy. --- Page: On the Record December 1989 KLAS TV (/documents/1989-lazar-telephone-q-and-a) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # On the Record December 1989 KLAS TV Transcript A collection of questions and answers from a telephone interview with Bob Lazar Disclosure Rating — 3/10 "On the Record" by newsreporter George Knapp of KLAS- TV, Las Vegas, Nevada, 12/09/89 Lazar: The first thing was hands-on experience with the anti-matter reactor. Knapp: Explain what that is and how it works and what it does. Lazar: Its a plate about 18-inches in diameter with a sphere on top. Knapp: We have a tape of a model that a friend of yours made. You can narrate along. There it is ... Lazar: Inside that tower is a chip of Element-115 they just put in there. Thats a super-heavy element. The lid goes on top. And as far as any other of the workings of it, I really dont know, you know, [such as] whats inside the bottom of it 115 sets up a gravitational field around the top. That little waveguide you saw being put on the top, it essentially siphons off the gravity wave. And thats later amplified in the lower portion of the craft. But just in general, the whole technology is virtually unknown. Knapp: Now we saw the model. We saw the pictures of it there. It looks really, really simple. Almost too simple to actually do anything. Lazar: Right. Knapp: Working parts? Lazar: None detectable. Essentially what the job was was to back-engineer everything where you have a finished product. And then step backwards and find-out how it was made or how it could be made with Earthly materials. There hasnt been very much progress. Knapp: How long do you think theyve had this technology up there? Lazar: It seems like quite a while, but I really dont know. Knapp: What could you do with an anti-matter generator? What does it do? Lazar: It converts anti-matter It doesnt "convert" anti-matter. There is an annihilation reaction. Its an extremely powerful reaction a 100 conversion of matter to energy unlike a fission or fusion reaction which is somewhere around 8/10 of 1-percent conversion of matter to energy. Knapp: How does it work? What starts the reaction going? Lazar: Really, once the 115 is put in, the reaction is initiated. Knapp: Automatic? Lazar: Right. Knapp: I dont understand. I mean, theres no button to push or anything? Lazar: No, theres no button to push or anything. Apparently the 115 under bombardment with protons lets out an anti-matter particle [note: the 115 first transmutes to 116, which then spontaneously radioactively decays, releasing an anti-proton in the process]. The anti-matter particle will react with any matter whatsoever, which I imagine there is some target system inside the reactor. This in turn releases heat. And somewhere within that system there is a 100%-efficient thermionic generator, essentially a heat-to-electrical generator. Knapp: How is this anti-matter reactor connected to gravity generation that you were talking about earlier? Lazar: Well, that reaction serves 2 purposes. It provides a tremendous amount of electrical power, which is almost a by-product. The gravitational wave gets formed at the sphere. Thats through some action of the 115, and the exact action I dont think anyone really knows. The waveguide siphons off that gravity wave. Thats channeled above the top of the disk to the lower part where there are 3 gravity "amplifiers" which amplify and direct that gravity wave. Knapp: In essence, creating their own gravitational field. Lazar: Their own gravitational field. Knapp: Youre fairly convinced that science on Earth doesnt have this technology right now? We have it now at S4, I guess, but we didnt create it? Lazar: Right. Knapp: Why not? Why couldnt we? Lazar: The technologys not even We dont even know today what ‘gravity really is! Knapp: Well, what is it? What have you learned about what gravity is? Lazar: Gravity is a wave. There are many different theories, wave included. Its been theorized that gravity is also particles [gravitons] which is also incorrect. But gravity is a wave. The basic wave, they can actually tap off of an element. Why that is Im not exactly sure. Knapp: So you can produce your own gravity. What does that mean? What does that allow you to do? Lazar: It allows you to do virtually anything. Gravity distorts time and space. By doing that, now youre into a different mode of travel where instead of traveling in a linear [straight-line] method going from Point ‘A to Point ‘B’ -- now you can distort time and space to where you essentially bring the mountain to Mohammed. You almost bring your destination to you without moving [SS: as the spice Navigators did in the book/movie “Dune”?]. And since youre distorting time, all this takes place in-between moments of time. Its such a far-fetched concept! Knapp: Of course what the UFO skeptics say is, ‘yeah, theres life out there elsewhere in the Universe. But it can never come here -- its just too darn far. With the kind of technology youre talking about, it makes such considerations irrelevant about distance and time and things like that. Lazar: Exactly! Because when you are distorting time, theres no longer a normal reference of time. And thats what producing your own gravity does. Knapp: you can go forward or backward in time? Is that what youre saying? Lazar: No, not essentially. A least in regard to what were talking about here -- how to traverse large distances going faster than the speed-of-light. It would be easier with a model. On the bottom side of the disk are the 3 gravity generators. When they want to travel to a distant point, the disk turns on its side. The 3 gravity generators produce a ‘gravitational beam. What they do is converge all 3 generators onto a point and use that as a ‘focal point. Then they bring them up to power and PULL that point towards the disk. The disk itself will attach onto that ‘point and snap back as they release space back to that point! Now all this happens in the distortion of time so time is not incrementing. So the “speed” is essentially infinite. Knapp: Well get into the disks in a moment. But the first time you saw the anti-matter reactor in operation or a demonstration you had a couple of demonstrations tell me about that. Lazar: The first time I saw it in operation, we a friend I worked with, Barry -- just put the fuel in the reactor, put the lid on as was shown there. Immediately, a gravitational field developed and he said, "Feel it!" And it felt like when you bring 2 like poles of a magnet together; you can do that with your hand. And it was FASCINATING to do that. Actually impossible, except on something with great mass! And obviously this is just a And it was a REPULSION field. In fact, we kind of fooled around with it for a little while. We threw golf balls off it. It was just a really unique thing. Knapp: And you had other demonstrations to show you that this is pretty wild stuff, right? Lazar: Yeah, they did. They were able to channel the field off in a demonstration that they created an INTENSE gravitational area. And you began to see a small little black disk form. That was the bending of the light. Knapp: Just like a black hole floating around? Lazar: Yeah Well, a black hole is a bad analogy. But yeah, essentially. [StealthSkater note: In alter interviews, Lazar said that the UFO projected a "distortion" in front. And it would be drawn to that distortion. So maybe the "black hole" analogy wasnt too off for a layperson.] KVEG Radio Interview, 12/28/1989 Caller: With the gravity generators running, is there thermal radiation? Lazar: No, not at all. I was never down on the bottom level (there were 3 levels, Lazar said under no circumstances was he ever permitted on the topmost level) while the gravity generators were running. But the reactor itself Theres no thermal radiation whatsoever. That was one of the really shocking things because that violates the First Law of Thermodynamics. Lazar: In fact, Im in the process of fabricating the gravity amplifier. But then Im at a tremendous shortage for power. So yeah, I have even tried to do that stuff on-my-own. Caller: Is there any electronics as we know it -- chips or transistors? Lazar: No, nothing like that. Because of the tremendous power involved too, there was no direct connection between the gravity amplifiers and the reactor itself. Caller: Are the waveguides similar to what we use with microwaves? Lazar: Very similar. Caller: In regard to the long-range method of travel, isnt a propulsion unit the wrong idea? I feel this device is creating a situation where it is diminishing or removing the localized gravitational field. And the long-distance body that theyre heading toward is actually PULLING the vehicle rather than it being pushed. Am I correct in this? Lazar: The vehicle is not being pushed. But being pulled implies its being pulled by something externally. Its pulling something else to it. It is creating the gravitational field. Caller: Is there any relation to the monopoles, which scientists have been looking for? Lazar: Well, theyve been looking for the monopole magnet. But then this [the UFO force] is a gravitational force. Caller: What is the top speed of the craft? Lazar: Its tough to say a top speed because to say "speed", you have to compare distance and time. And when youre screwing around with time and distorting it, you can no longer judge a velocity. Theyre not traveling in a linear mode where they just fly and cover a certain distance in a certain time. Thats the real definition of speed. Theyre bending and distorting space and then essentially snapping it back with the craft. The distances they can travel are phenomenal in little or no time. So "speed" has little bearing. Caller: Youve mentioned anti-gravity generator and anti-matter generator. Are they different? Lazar: Its not a gravity generator. Its a gravity amplifier. I get tongue-twisted all too often. The anti- matter reactor provides the power for the craft and the basic low-amplitude gravitational wave, which is too low of an amplitude to do anything. Its piped into the gravity amplifiers which are found at the bottom of the craft. There, its amplified into an extremely powerful wave. And thats what the craft is flown on. But there is an anti-matter reactor. Thats what provides the power. Caller: I understand theres an antenna section in this device. What is the resonant frequency that operates at? Lazar: The resonant frequency of the gravity wave I do know, but I dont know it off-hand. I just cant remember it. Mark: Can you give me a ballpark like 2,000 kilohertz? Lazar: I really dont remember. Its a really odd frequency. Mark: Is it measured in kilohertz or gigahertz or megahertz? Lazar: I really dont remember. Burt: You were talking about the low- and high-speed modes and the control factors in there. Can you describe those modes and what the ship looks like each time it is going through those modes? Lazar: The low-speed mode -- and I REALLY wish I could remember what they call these, but I cant as I cant remember the frequency of the wave The low-speed mode: The craft is very vulnerable. It bobs around. And its sitting on a weak gravitational field -- sitting on 3 gravity waves. And it just bounces around. It can focus the waves behind it and keep falling forward and hobble around at low speed. The second mode: They increase the amplitude of the field, and the craft begins to lift, and it performs a ROLL maneuver. It begins to turn, roll, begins to turn over. As it begins to leave the Earths gravitational field, they point the bottom of the craft at the destination. This is the second mode of travel where they converge the 3 gravity amplifiers FOCUS them on a point that they want to go to. Then they bring them up to full power, and this is where the tremendous time-space distortion takes place. And that whips them right to that point. Burt: Did you actually bench-test a unit away from the craft itself? Lazar: The reactor yeah. Burt: About how large is this, and could you describe it? Lazar: The device itself is probably a plate about 18 inches square. I said "diameter" before, but it is square. Theres a half-sphere on top where the gravity wave is tapped off of. But thats about the size of it. Jim: On TV, you spoke of observing a demonstration of this anti-matter gravity wave controller device. And you made a mock-up copy? Lazar: A friend made one, yeah. Jim: I heard you speak of bouncing golf balls of this anti-gravity field? Lazar: Yeah. Jim: And also about the candle, the wax, and the flame stood still? Lazar: Right. Jim: And then the hole that you saw appear Lazar: It wasnt a "hole" -- it was a little disk. Jim: Under what conditions did you see this demonstrated? Elaborate on this. And how large was the force field? Lazar: The force field where the candle was? Jim: The force field created by the anti-matter device. Lazar: It was about a 20-inch radius from the surface of the sphere. Jim: Where was this area? Just above the device? Lazar: yeah, surrounding the sphere. Jim: Did the sphere surround the device? Lazar: No. The sphere sits in the center of the device. Its a half-sphere sitting on a plate, and a field surrounds the half-sphere. Jim: And you just place a candle in there? Lazar: No, no, no That was a separate demonstration. Im just telling you where the field EXTENDS from! Jim: Oh. Thats what Im curious about. Lazar: No, they tap the field off using a waveguide --off of the sphere. And this is a completely different setup where they had a mockup small gravity amplifier. There were 3 focused into a point. And that area of focus was probably 9-or-10 inches in diameter. Jim: They displaced this area or moved this area? Lazar: No, it wasnt displaced. Its just where the field was generated. Jim: And in there, you put the candle? Lazar: Right. “Alien Contact" by Timothy Good, 1991 & 1993. the craft does not create an ‘antigravity field as some have surmised. “Its a gravitational field thats out-of-phase with the current one,” Lazar explained in a 1989 radio interview. “Its the same gravitational wave. The phases vary from 180 degrees to zero in a longitudinal propagation." "Assuming theyre in space, they will focus the 3 gravity generators on the point they want to go to. Now to give an analogy: if you take a think rubber sheet and lay it on a table and put thumbtacks in each corner, then take a big stone and set it on one end of the rubber sheet and say thats your spacecraft. You then pick out a point that you want to go to which could be anywhere on the rubber sheet “pinch” that point with your fingers and pull it all the way up to the craft. Thats how it focuses and pulls that point to it. When you then shut off the gravity generators, the stone (spacecraft) follows that stretched rubber back to its point. "Theres no linear travel through space. It actually bends space and time and follows space as it retracts. "In the first mode of travel around the surface of a planet -- they essentially balance on the gravitational field that the generators put out, and they ride a “wave” like a cork does in the ocean. In that mode, they are very unstable and are affected by the weather. In the other mode of travel where they can travel vast distances, they cant really do that in a strong gravitational filed like Earths. Because to do that, first-of-all they need to tilt on their side, usually out in space. Then they can focus on the point they need to with the gravity generators and move on. If you picture space as a "fabric" and the speed-of-light is your limit, it will take you so long even at the speed-of-light! to get from point A to point B. You cant exceed it – not in this Universe anyway. Should there be other parallel universes, maybe in those the laws of physics are different. But anyone thats here in this Universe has to abide by our well-known rules. "The fact is that gravity distorts time and space. Imagine that youre in a spacecraft that can exert a tremendous gravitational field by itself. You could sit in any particular place, turn on the gravity generator, and actually warp space and time and “fold” it. By shutting that off, youd click-back and youd be at a tremendous distance from where you were. But time would NOT have even moved, because you essentially shut it off. Its so farfetched. Its difficult for people to grasp. And as stubborn as the mainstream scientific community is, theyll never buy it that this is in fact what happens." According to Lazar, the propulsion system he worked on at S-4 gives rise to certain peculiar effects, including INVISIBILITY of the craft. “You can be looking straight up at it. And if the gravity generators are in the proper configuration, youd just see the sky above it. You wont see the craft there. Thats how there can be a group of people and only some people can be right under it and see it. It just depends on how the field is bent. Its also the reason why the crafts "appear” as if theyre making 90- degree turns at some incredible speed. Its just the time and space distortion that youre seeing. Youre not seeing the actual event happening. "If the crafts look like theyre flying at 7,000 mph and they make a right-angle turn, its not necessarily what theyre doing. They can APPEAR that way because of the gravitational distortion. I guess a good analogy is that youre always looking at a mirage – its only when the craft is shut-off and sitting on the ground that you can get a clear picture of what it actually looks like. Otherwise youre just looking at a tremendously distorted thing. And it will appear like it is changing shape, stopping-or- going, and it could be flying almost like an airplane. But it would never look that way to you." "How close do you think you have to get before time distortion takes place?” I asked. Lazar replied, “Its tough to say because it depends on the configuration of the craft. If the craft is hovering in the air, and the gravity amplifiers are focused down to the ground and its standing on its gravity wave, you would have to get into that focused area. If youre directly underneath the craft at any time, theres a tremendous time distortion, and thats in proportion to the proximity of the craft." Questions from miscellaneous interviews Question: So how is the electrical energy related to the amplification of the gravitational ‘A’wave energy? Lazar: Tthe electrical energy is transmitted essentially without wires, and I related it to almost a Tesla setup. It seemed like each sub-component on the craft was attuned to the frequency that the reactor was operating at. So essentially the amplifiers themselves received the electrical energy like a Tesla coil transmitting power to a fluorescent tube. Thats how the amplifiers receive the power and through the waveguide to receive the basic wave. Its very, very similar to a microwave amplifier ... Question: Was the local means of propulsion the same as this across-space distances? What was the local means of propulsion? Lazar: the local means of propulsion is essentially them balancing on an out-of-phase gravity wave. And its not as stable as you would think. When the craft took off, it wobbled to some degree. I mean a modern-day Hawker Harrier or something along those lines of vertical takeoff craft is much more stable than in the ‘Omicron configuration, which is that mode of travel. The Delta configuration is where they use the 3 amplifiers. These are the only 2 methods I know about for moving the craft. Question: When you listen to some abduction reports whether-or-not people believe them there seems to be a common thread of people being hit by blue beams of light Lazar: Any of the 3 gravity amplifiers could do that -- lift something off the ground. Or for that matter compact it into the ground. Thats not a problem because the craft can operate on one amplifier -- in ‘Omicron mode -- hovering. That would leave the other 2 amplifiers free to do anything. So I imagine they could pick up cows or whatever else they wanted to. But on the craft I worked-on, there was absolutely NO provision for anything to come-in through the bottom of craft, or anything along those lines Question: So what was the course of energy? How did it go from one area to another area? Lazar: The best guess is it essentially operated like a Tesla coil. A transmitter and essentially a receiver tuned to the transmitting frequency and receives electrical power. There again, thats not real advanced technology. Tesla did that in the 1930s, I think. Question: You mentioned the photon earlier. Do you think Physics is taking a wrong turn by looking for exchange particles when youre talking about the strong force of gravity again? Im not clear on why youre skeptical about the graviton. Every other force seems to have [quantum] exchange particles connected with it. Lazar: No, not necessarily. I mean, they MAKE it have one. But as time goes on, that really hasnt held true. First of all, they dont even believe theres a ‘graviton anymore. As far as exchange particles, still though, some of them like the ‘zeta particle ... maybe thats an actual thing. But when theyre looking at transfers of energy, I think these are ‘scapegoats for the most part. A lot of experiments that I was participating in at Los Alamos essentially were along these same lines. But other exchange particles like the intermediate vector bozon, I dont believe that thing exists. I really dont. I think theyre grabbing at straws and just coming up with excuses. Question: What about the small gravity -- the Gravity A? How can you detect that one? What is the frequency of that? Lazar: Well the frequency that the actual [disk] reactor [not the gravity wave it produces] operates at is like 7.46 hertz. Its a very low frequency. Question: Thats the frequency of Earths gravity or all gravity universally? Lazar: Thats the frequency the [disks] reactor operates at. Question: I can understand a reactor functioning. Theoretically I can understand a reactor functioning at, say, 7.46 Hz. Theres a waveguide involved. I dont buy 7.46 ... Lazar: No, thats the basic The frequency of the gravity wave thats produced, it has to be a higher frequency because youre in a microwave range to follow a conduit like that. Question: I understand from Lears lecture that it had a tendency to conduct on the outside also of the reactor. Lazar: Right. Well, thats all This was the electric field we were talking about. The basic frequency, I think, was the way the reactor is operating. The pulses that we detected out of it were probably instead of a straight DC power supply it was more along the lines of a pulse,as if we were getting a burst of particles coming out. An anti-matter emission then a reaction a pulse of energy and that cycle would repeat. Thats about 7-and-a-half Hertz, something along those lines. Question: Bob, is the microwave frequency going to the waveguide electromagnetic or is it gravitational? Lazar: They are one and the same. Unfortunately, mainstream physics hasnt gotten to that part yet. But gravity essentially is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Question: Then what frequency is it? Lazar: Thats something Im reserving for myself. Question: Something in the microwave range? Lazar: something about the microwave range. Well, you can sort of figure it out by the dimensions of the waveguide itself. And thats about it ... Question: Positive energy versus regular photon? Lazar: No, its not photon. Question: Electromagnetic energy? Lazar: Right. Im not trying to be secret, but this is part of the equipment that Im working on. And I want to get it operating before ... --- Page: Belgian Air Force Reports (/documents/1990-belgian-air-force-reports) Content: DisclosdexViewHelp ## Command Palette Search for a command to run... # Belgian Air Force Reports Report Radar and pilot testimonies documented triangular craft seen over Belgium during the 1990 wave Disclosure Rating — 8/10   Summary Belgian Air Force investigators gathered radar tracks, ground observations and F-16 cockpit data on multiple low-altitude triangles.

[Music]   Introduction Hi, Im Bob Lazar. During late 1988 and early 89, I worked on the propulsion systems of extraterrestrial vehicles for the United States government. The hardware and technology I was exposed to should be placed in the proper hands of the scientific community, and it is the right of every person on earth to know that there is physical evidence which proves that there is life elsewhere and that at least one form of that life has been here. For those of you whose information about me is limited to this video, Ill give you a brief background. Im a physicist. I have degrees in physics and electronics technology. Ive worked in a number of scientific programs, some of which require top-secret and above top-secret security clearances, of which the most easily verifiable is my early 1980s job here at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Between December of 88 and April of 89, I worked as a senior staff physicist in what has to be the most secret project in history. My place of work was a facility at an area known as S-4 on the Nellis Air Force range in central Nevada. Area S-4 is located approximately 15 miles south of the infamous Area 51 installation at Groom Lake, where the U-2 and SR-71 spy planes were developed. For the duration of my employment at S-4, I was paid by the United States Navy.   Structure of the Information For the purpose of this video, Im going to segregate the information contained here into two separate parts. Part One will deal with information with which Ive had hands-on experience and personal instruction. In other words, not only did I read briefings and not only was I taught the theories of these technologies, but they were demonstrated for me and I know they are true and accurate. Some of the points covered in this first section will be: - How vast distances of space are traveled by virtue of an intense gravitational field. - How this gravitational field is generated. - What the power source is and how it functions. - And general information about disks and the project at S-4. Part Two of this will deal with subjects on which Ive read supporting information, yet for the most part, I had no other way to corroborate the information or ascertain its accuracy. When we get to Part Two, it will be obvious why proof of some of this information could not be conclusive. Some of the points covered in the second section will be: - Information about the beings that brought us this technology. - And how these beings have historically interacted with man. Ive been prudent in selecting what to expose here, and I think that some of this information should not be made available to the general public. This information is being conveyed to you as it was to me, with the exception that in most cases, Ive simplified things for those of you with non-scientific and non-technological backgrounds. So lets begin.   Part 1: Hands-On Experience & Verified Technology At the beginning of this first section, Im going to give you three short science lessons. And once youve learned them, youll not only know more about interstellar travel than almost anyone else in the world, but youll know the actual method another civilization has used to travel from another star system to the planet Earth. Now, during the course of this, Im going to have to relate information that Ive learned at S-4 to the information that were already aware of. And when I say "we," I mean the general mainstream scientific community. So as not to waste too much time explaining established scientific facts and theories, when I say "we know this" or "we know that," please feel free to consult any qualified scientist, professor, or science teacher to have them explain my statements to you.     Science Lesson 1: How to Travel Vast Distances One of the most predominantly asked questions is, "How is it possible to cross vast expanses of space without exceeding the speed of light?" or "How can you travel in reasonable time and economy between points that are light-years apart?" Now, keep in mind that the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second, which translates into roughly 669 million miles an hour, and a light-year is the distance traveled in one year at the speed of light. Proxima Centauri, which is a star system near our star, would take four years to reach traveling at the speed of light. So up until now, when weve examined the requirements to travel these distances, weve always had to consider the problems of traveling at a speed near the speed of light. This poses problems with propulsion, navigation, fuel capacities, and even when you consider the effects of acceleration on space-time, which include time dilation, mass increase, length contraction, and a whole host of other things, it quickly becomes evident that this type of travel would require a level of technology that man has not yet achieved. The truth of the matter is that traveling these distances does require a level of technology that man has not yet achieved, but it has nothing to do with flying in a linear mode near the speed of light. We know that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so in our universe, weve always assumed that the fastest way from point A to B was to travel in a straight line at the speed of light. Well, the fact is that when youre dealing with space-time and you enjoy the capability of generating an intense gravitational field, the fastest way from point A to B is to distort or warp or bend the space-time between point A and B, bringing point A and B closer together. The more intense the gravitational field, the greater the distortion of space-time, and the shorter the distance between points A and B. Most of us think of space-time as the void or as nothing, and remember, it wasnt that long ago that man considered the air in our atmosphere to be nothing. Yet with time, weve become aware of the elements and properties of the air in our atmosphere. Well, indeed, space-time is an entity, and one of its properties is that it can be distorted or bent by a gravitational field. We know that gravity bends or distorts space-time and light by virtue of the fact that were able to see stars which we know should be blocked from our view by the Sun. Referring to the graphic here, the solid line denotes the position of a star thats located behind the Sun, and the dotted line shows its position as viewed from Earth. This is made possible because the Suns gravitational field distorts the space-time and light around the Sun, allowing us to view stars which would be hidden from view. We know that gravity distorts time by virtue of the fact that if you take two identical atomic clocks and keep one at sea-level and take the other one up to a high altitude, when we bring them both back together, they reflect different times. The difference in this passage of time is caused by the fact that a gravitational field weakens the further you get from the source. So the atomic clock which was taken to the high altitude was exposed to a less powerful gravitational field than the clock which we kept at sea level. The effect of a gravitational field on space-time is something that weve been able to observe but not to experiment with. This is due to our inability to generate a gravitational field, and up until this point in time, great mass such as a star, planet, or moon was the only source of a discernible gravitational field that were aware of. So just as the gravitational field around great mass such as a planet distorts space and time, any gravitational field, whether naturally-occurring or generated, distorts space and time in a similar manner. Now, the great benefit of generating an intense gravitational field is not only can you turn it on, but you can turn it off. If we refer back to our original illustration of space-time distortion, we can see that when we generate an intense gravitational field, we can distort the space-time and in turn the distance between the point where we are and the point where we want to be. We can then position ourselves at the point where we want to be and then stop generating the gravitational field, allowing space-time to return to its natural form. In this manner, we can travel great distances with little linear movement, and this is how space-time distortion translates into reduced distance. Now back to our original question: How is it possible to cross the vast expanses of space required for interstellar travel without exceeding the speed of light? This is accomplished by generating an intense gravitational field, distorting space-time, and allowing you to cross many light-years of space in little or no time and without traveling in a linear mode near the speed of light.     Science Lesson 2: How to Generate a Gravitational Field The next question is, "How do you generate a gravitational field?" Up until this point in time, Ive used the term "generate" to describe the capability of producing a gravitational field, but since Im not aware of any way of creating a gravitational field from nothing, a more accurate term might be to "access and amplify" a gravitational field, and this is what I mean when I use the term "generate." To understand how gravity is generated or accessed and amplified, you must first know what gravity is. There are two main theories: the wave theory, which states that gravity is a wave, and the currently accepted theory of gravitons, which are alleged subatomic particles that perform as gravity, which is total nonsense. Well, gravity is a wave, and there are two specific different types of gravity: Gravity A and Gravity B. - Gravity A works on a smaller, micro scale, while Gravity B works on a larger, macro scale. - We are familiar with Gravity B. It is the big gravity wave that holds the Earth as well as the rest of the planets in orbit around the Sun and holds the Moon as well as man-made satellites in orbit around the Earth. - We are not familiar with Gravity A. It is a small gravity wave which is the major contributory force that holds together the mass that makes up all protons and neutrons. Gravity A is what is currently being labeled as the strong nuclear force in mainstream physics, and Gravity A is the wave that you need to access and amplify to enable you to cause space-time distortion for interstellar travel. To keep them straight, just remember that Gravity A works on an atomic scale, and Gravity B is the big gravity wave that works on a stellar or planetary level. However, dont mistake the size of these waves for their strength, because Gravity A is a much stronger force than Gravity B. You can momentarily break the Gravity B field of the Earth simply by jumping in the air, so this is not an intense gravitational field. Locating Gravity A is no problem because it is found in the nucleus of every atom of all matter here on Earth and all matter anywhere else in our universe. However, accessing Gravity A with the naturally occurring elements found on Earth is a big problem. Actually, Im not aware of any way of accessing the gravity wave using any Earth elements, whether naturally-occurring or synthesized. And heres why: Weve already learned that Gravity A is the major force that holds together the mass that makes up protons and neutrons. This means the Gravity A wave we are trying to access is virtually inaccessible as it is located within matter, or at least within the matter that we have here on Earth. However, the Earth is not representative of all matter within our universe. The residual matter which remains after the creation of a solar system is totally dependent on the contributing factors which were present during the creation of the solar system. This is true whether you believe that the origin of the universe was an evolutionary event or that a Supreme Being caused this event to happen. The two main factors which determine what residual matter remains after the creation of the solar system are the amount of electromagnetic energy and the amount of mass present during the solar systems creation. Our solar system has one star, which is our Sun, but the majority of solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy are binary and multiple star systems. In fact, many single star systems have stars that are so large that our Sun would appear to be a dwarf by comparison. Keeping all this in mind, it should be obvious that a large single star system, binary star system, or multiple star system would have had more of the prerequisite mass and electromagnetic energy present during their creations. This makes it possible for these systems to possess elements which are not native to the Earth. Scientists have long theorized that there are potential combinations of protons and neutrons which should provide stable elements with atomic numbers higher than any which appear in our periodic chart. Though none of these heavy elements occur naturally on Earth, 88 of the first 92 elements on the periodic chart occur naturally on Earth. Some heavier elements do occur in trace amounts, but for the most part, we synthesize these heavier elements in laboratories. Generally speaking, the stability of the synthesized heavy elements decreases as their atomic number increases, but experiments at the Lab for Heavy Ion Research in Germany have shown that this may only be true up to a certain point, as the half-life for element 109 is longer than that of element 108. The point is that our observations and theories are accurate. The fact is that heavier, stable elements with higher atomic numbers, which have more protons, neutrons, and electrons than any Earth elements, do exist. However, up until this point in history, there has been no physical evidence to prove this, but now that proof is here. The most important attribute of these heavier, stable elements is that the Gravity A wave is so abundant that it actually extends past the perimeter of the atom. These heavier, stable elements literally have their own Gravity A field around them, in addition to the Gravity B field that is native to all elements. No naturally-occurring atoms on Earth have enough protons and neutrons for the cumulative Gravity A wave to extend past the perimeter of the atom so you can access it. Even though the distance that the Gravity A wave extends is infinitesimal, it is accessible, and it has amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, just like any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. Once you can access the Gravity A wave, you can amplify it just like we amplify any other electromagnetic wave. To demonstrate how a wave is amplified, we can use this oscilloscope, and as you can see, it graphically depicts the tone you hear as a wave. As we amplify the tone, you can see that the size or the amplitude of the wave increases, giving us a more powerful version of the same identical wave, and thus the tone sounds louder. In like manner, the Gravity A wave is amplified and then focused on the desired destination to cause the space-time distortion required for space travel. This amplified Gravity A wave is so powerful that the only naturally-occurring source of gravity that could cause space-time to distort this much would be a black hole. This brings us back to our original question: How do you generate a gravitational field? You must have access to an element which is heavy enough for the Gravity A wave to extend past the perimeter of the atom. Then you can access and amplify it for space-time distortion.     Science Lesson 3: The Power Source To complete our three science lessons, the last question is, "What is the power source for this type of travel?" Well, for those of you with limited knowledge about power sources, Im sure you can probably imagine the enormous amount of power required to cause a space-time distortion for this type of travel. After all, were amplifying a wave that barely extends past the perimeter of an atom until its large enough to distort vast amounts of space-time. For those of you with extensive knowledge about power sources, Im sure its probably even more puzzling as to how its possible to have a compact, lightweight, onboard power source that can provide this much power. For everyone to understand, I need to further explain a couple of things weve briefly touched upon in the last question. If you remember, I said that for the most part, we synthesize or create heavier elements in accelerators, and their stability decreases as their atomic number increases. So what does this all mean? Well, we synthesize these heavier, unstable elements by using more stable elements as targets in a particle accelerator. We then bombard the target element with various atomic and subatomic particles. At this point, transmutation occurs, making the target element a different, heavier element. This element now has a higher atomic number, as the atomic number simply indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. So this is what I mean when I say their atomic number increases. What does "their stability decreases" mean? The length of time an element exists before it decays determines its stability. Atoms of some elements decay faster than atoms of other elements, so the faster an element decays, the more unstable that element is considered to be. When an atom decays, it releases or radiates subatomic particles and energy, which is the radiation that a Geiger counter detects. As you can see, this Geiger counter is detecting the radiation from this uranium, which literally means that the Geiger counter is sensing the subatomic particles which are being released or radiated as the uranium decays. Those elements in which nuclear radiation can be consistently detected are radioactive elements. These heavy elements which we synthesize in particle accelerators are of the radioactive variety, and they decay very rapidly. Since were only able to make a few atoms of these elements and because they decay so rapidly, were not able to observe much about them. This is what I mean when I say their stability decreases. However, there are elements with higher atomic numbers which are stable, even though they dont occur naturally on Earth and we cant synthesize them in particle accelerators. These are the elements in the 114-115 range, which dont appear on our periodic chart. Beyond element 115, the elements become unstable again, and in fact, element 116 decays in fractions of a second. This finally brings us to the power source. The power source is a reactor which uses this element 115 as its fuel. In this reactor, element 115 is used as a target and is bombarded with protons in a small particle accelerator. When a proton plugs into the nucleus of an atom of 115, it increases its atomic number and becomes an atom of element 116, which, remember, decays instantly. What element 116 releases as it decays, or what it radiates, is antimatter. What is antimatter? Antimatter is the exact counterpart of matter which has a charge and a spin that is the opposite of all matter. When combined with any matter in our universe, antimatter reacts and completely converts to energy. And remember, the rapid conversion of matter to energy is what we generally call an explosion. To demonstrate the explosive power of antimatter, lets pick a random area where an atomic bomb might explode. Oh, lets say Iraq. And for demonstration purposes, lets say an atomic bomb would explode, for instance, in all Baghdad. - Well, if one of our older atomic bombs exploded in Baghdad, the area of total devastation, which is indicated by the red dot on the map, would be approximately two miles. This would be caused by a fission reaction in which less than 1% of the nuclear material is converted to energy. Most of you are familiar with the bombs that were dropped on Japan in World War II. This is the same bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, August 9th, 1945. - About the same time, Dr. Edward Teller, whos known as the father of the hydrogen bomb, figured out that a nuclear fusion bomb was possible. Fusion would release even more energy and cause an even bigger explosion from the same amount of nuclear material. Much to Dr. Tellers dismay, the Japanese surrendered, we never dropped the hydrogen bomb, and Dr. Teller has been in a bad mood ever since. But if a hydrogen bomb containing the same amount of nuclear material as the Nagasaki bomb were to explode in Baghdad, the area of total devastation would be approximately 20 miles. This would be caused by a nuclear fusion reaction which, again, less than 1% of the nuclear material actually converts to energy or explodes. The other 99% of the nuclear material on this type of bomb is dispersed but is not involved in the actual nuclear fusion reaction. - Now, if a bomb was made with the same amount of nuclear material as the Nagasaki bomb, and that material was antimatter, when that bomb exploded in Baghdad, the area of total devastation would include parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia, with the exact area of total devastation being very difficult to calculate. This would be caused by a total annihilation reaction, which is the complete conversion of matter to energy. A hundred percent of the nuclear material on this bomb would explode or convert to energy. We currently have no practical way to harness antimatter into a bomb, and generally speaking, we can only isolate antimatter in a particle accelerator and store it for a short time. This demonstrates the enormous amount of power released when you totally convert matter to energy, which is what happens when antimatter and matter are combined. So, back to our power source. Inside the reactor, element 115 is bombarded with a proton, which plugs into the nucleus of the 115 atom and becomes element 116, which immediately decays and releases or radiates small amounts of antimatter. The antimatter is released in a vacuum into a tuned tube which keeps it from reacting with the matter that surrounds it. It is then directed towards a gaseous matter target at the end of the tube. The matter and antimatter collide and annihilate, totally converting to energy. The heat from this reaction is converted into electrical energy in a near 100% efficient thermoelectric generator. This is a device that converts heat directly into electrical energy. Many of our satellites and space probes use thermoelectric generators, but their efficiency is very, very low. All of these actions and reactions inside of the reactor are orchestrated perfectly, like a tiny little ballet, and in this manner, the reactor provides an enormous amount of power. So back to our original question: What is the power source that provides the power required for this type of travel? The power source is a reactor which uses element 115 as a fuel and uses a total annihilation reaction to provide the heat which it converts to energy, making it a compact, lightweight, efficient, on-board power source. Ive got a couple of quick comments about element 115 for those of you who are interested. By virtue of the way its used in the reactor, it depletes very slowly, and only 223 grams of 115, which is just under half a pound, can be utilized for a period of 20 to 30 years. Element 115s melting point is 1740 degrees Celsius. I need to state here that even though I had hands-on experience with element 115, I didnt melt any of it down, and I didnt use any of it for 20 to 30 years to see if it depleted.     Linking the Technology to the Vehicle So weve learned how space-time is distorted by a gravitational field, weve learned how that gravitational field is generated, and weve also learned where you get the power to accomplish all of this. Now its time to link all weve learned in our science lessons to the vehicle that utilizes all the technology. And a few years ago, I never thought Id hear myself say this, but that vehicle is a disc, which is generally referred to as a flying saucer. I had at least partial views of nine different discs out at Area S-4, but the one Im going to describe to you now is the one in which I not only saw two of the three interior levels, but I also saw it fully functional in flight. And no, unfortunately, I didnt get to go for a ride in it. This particular disc appeared to be in excellent condition, and because of its sleek appearance, I nicknamed it the "Sport Model." The Sport Model is about 16 feet tall and 40 feet in diameter. The exterior skin of the disc is metal which is the color of unpolished stainless steel. The Sport Model sits on its belly when its not energized. As you can see, the hatch is located on the upper half of the disc, with just the bottom portion of the door wrapping around the center lip of the disc. The interior of the disc is divided into three levels. - The lower level is where the three gravity amplifiers and amplifier guides are located. These are the things used to amplify and focus the Gravity A wave that we learned about in our science lessons. - The reactor is located directly above the three gravity amplifiers on the center level and is in fact centered between them. The reactor is similar to this half-scale model. The element 115 is machined into triangles like this and is then inserted into the reactor. This piece of element 115 is the source of the Gravity A wave as well as the target that is bombarded with protons to release the antimatter, both of which we learned about in our science lessons. - The center level of this disc also houses the control consoles and seats, both of which were too small and too low to the floor to be functional for adult human beings. The walls of the center level are all divided into archways. At one point in time, when the disk was energized, one of the archways became transparent. You could see the area outside of it, just as if the archway was a window. After the panel had been transparent for a while, a form of writing which was unlike any alphabetic, scientific, or mathematical symbols Ive ever seen began to appear on the transparent archway. And I was never informed as to how all of this was achieved, not that any of that would have required alien technology. - I was never given access to the upper level of the disks, so I cant enlighten you as to what the porthole-like areas are, other than I can assure you that theyre not portholes. Now, before I go any further about the desk, Im going to show you where and under what circumstances I saw it tested. My job in this program was to be part of a back-engineering team. Back-engineering is the act of taking a finished product and tearing it apart to find out what makes it tick. The goal in this program was to see if the technology of the disk could be duplicated with Earth materials. When I went to work, I was flown from McCarran Airport in Las Vegas to Area 51, which is a highly secure government base on the Nevada Test Site. Area 51 is located about 125 miles north of Las Vegas near the Groom Mountains and the Groom Dry Lakebed. From Area 51, I was bused to an even more highly secure facility located about 15 miles south of Area 51 called S-4. S-4 is situated at the base of the Papoose Mountains by the Papoose Dry Lakebed. The airspace around S-4 is restricted. And if any unwelcome aircraft strays into the outer sector, they radio the pilot and instruct him or her to leave. If that pilot continues and strays into the middle sector, jets will be scrambled to escort the intruding aircraft out. If for any reason whatsoever that aircraft penetrates into the inside sector before jets can be airborne, ground-to-air missiles will neutralize the intruder. The moral of this story is, dont try and fly into S-4. The S-4 installation is built into the mountain, and the nine hangar doors are angled at about 60 degrees. These doors are covered with a sand-textured coating to blend in with the side of the mountain and the desert floor. As you can see in this representation, my ID badge had a white background with one light blue and one dark blue diagonal stripe in the upper left-hand corner. At the bottom of the badge, there were letters and numbers designating various areas, including S-4. On my badge, there was a star punched through S-4. The back of the ID badge was dark blue with a vertical mag stripe running down one side. The hangar that housed the Sport Model was like a typical airplane hangar, with the exception of the angled doors that I mentioned before. The hangar was equipped with typical and extensive electronic equipment. It also had a machine with an X-ray emblem on it and an overhead crane rated at 20,000 pounds. Equipment in this hangar was marked with a black number 41 with a white circle around it. It was outside of this hangar that I saw the Sport Model tested. Now, when the disc travels near another source of gravity, such as a planet or moon, it doesnt use the same mode of travel that we learned about in our science lessons. When a disc is near another source of gravity like Earth, the Gravity A wave which propagates outward from the disk is phase-shifted into the Gravity B wave which propagates outward from the Earth, and this creates lift. The gravity amplifiers of the disk can be focused independently, and they are pulsed and do not stay on continuously. When all three of these amplifiers are being used for travel, theyre in the Delta configuration, and when only one is being used for travel, its in the Omicron configuration. As the intensity of the gravitational field around the disc increases, the distortion of space-time around the disc also increases. And if you could see the space-time distortion, this is how it would look. As you can see, as the output of the gravitational field from the amplifiers becomes more intense, the form of space-time around the disk not only bends upward but at maximum distortion actually folds over into almost a heart shape around the top of the disc. Now, remember, this space-time distortion is taking place 360 degrees around the disc, so if you were looking at the disc from the top, the space-time distortion would be in the shape of a doughnut. When the gravitational field around the disc is so intense that the space-time distortion around the disc achieves maximum distortion and its folded up into this heart-shaped form, the disc cant be seen from any vantage point and for all practical purposes is invisible. All you could see would be the sky surrounding it. The program out at Area S-4 consisted of three projects: - Project Galileo dealt with gravity propulsion and was the source of all the information youve learned in this first section. - Project Sidekick dealt with a beam weapon that had a neutron source and was focused by a gravity lens. - Project Looking Glass dealt with the physics of seeing back in time. Now, I was not personally involved with the hardware of Project Sidekick or Looking Glass, and those projects are beyond the scope of this video. So this brings us to the end of this first part, in which Im presenting to you as fact.   Part 2: Information From Briefing Documents At this point, we begin our second part, which is a section that contains what I call "excerpts from the government Bible." I call it that because, as you can tell from Part One, theres a small segment of the United States government that makes scientific and technological judgments from a knowledge base that is not available to the general public. If the following information is true, the United States government also makes judgments on a historical, philosophical, and even theological level from a knowledge base that is not available to the general public. These are excerpts from some of that information. As part of my indoctrination into the program at S-4, I would randomly be taken into a small room which contained a table, a chair, and 120 or so briefings in blue folders. Id be left there to read for varying amounts of time, usually about half an hour. These briefings contained a wide spectrum of information, mostly relating to aliens and alien technology. These reports appeared to be an overview of alien information which could be used to brief scientists from any field about the scope of the whole project and not just their specific field of endeavor. The overview of Project Galileo was accurate. I read the overview and later witnessed evidence which proved it to be accurate. So it is possible that scientists involved with other projects could have seen evidence that these other overviews were also accurate, but I cant make that assertion. To me, these reports were simply words on paper. So to keep from saying "allegedly" and "supposedly" in every sentence, Ill relay this information to you as I read it, since Ive already put this disclaimer on it. This technology that youve learned about thus far was brought here by some alien beings from the Zeta Reticuli 1 and 2 star system. These stars are located in the constellation of Reticulum, which can only be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Zeta Reticuli is a binary star system, which means it has two stars, and is located approximately 30 light-years from Earth. These beings are from Reticulum 4, which is the fourth planet out from Zeta Reticuli 2. This is the way star systems were referred to in these reports. They simply designate the name of the star and the number of planets from the nearest to the furthest from the star. For instance, our Sun was designated as Sol, and the Earth was referred to as Sol 3 because were the third planet out from the Sun. A day on Reticulum 4 is 90 Earth hours long. The beings are three to four feet tall and weigh 25 to 50 pounds. They have greyish skin and large heads with almond-shaped, wraparound eyes. They have very slight nose, mouth, and ear positions and are hairless. Any dates in the information regarding these beings were written in a six-digit number which began with 1623. Since I had no idea what the six-digit number was for the present year, I had no way of calculating when these beings arrived, or at least arrived this time. These beings said that they had been visiting Earth for a long time and presented photographic evidence which they contended was over 10,000 years old. There was an exchange of hardware and information in central Nevada until 1979, at which time there was a conflict which brought the program to an abrupt halt. The beings left but were to return at a 1623 date, and I dont know what that date is. With the remaining hardware and information, the US government started the back-engineering program. In May of 1987, some scientists took an antimatter reactor to an underground blast facility on the Nevada Test Site to perform an experiment. Unfortunately for them, their experiment required them to cut the reactor open, which resulted in their deaths. This explosion was explained to others at the test site as a previously unannounced low-yield underground nuke test. I was hired in December of 1988 to replace one of these men. These beings conveyed information about the capability of affecting the human br
