- POSSIBLE FORGOTTEN OR UNKNOWN INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. I can assure you the flying saucers, given that they exist, are not
- constructed by any power on earth. President Harry S. Truman - Press
- conference, Washington DC, April 4, 1950.
-
- 2. Based upon unreliable and unscientific surmises as data, the Air Force
- develops elaborate statistical findings which seem impressive to the
- uninitiated public unschooled in the fallaciec of the statistical method.
- One must conclude that the highly publicized Air Force pronouncements
- based upon unsound statistics serve merely to misrepreent the true
- character of the UFO phenomena. Yale Scientific Magazine (Yale University)
- Volume XXXVII, Number 7, April 1963
-
- 3. I feel that the Air Force has not been giving out all the available
- information on the Unidentified Flying Objects. You cannot disregard so
- many unimpeachable sources. John W. McCormack, Speaker of the House of
- Representatives of the United States. January 1965
-
- 4. I have absolutely no idea where the UFO's come from or how they are
- operated, but after ten years of research, I know they are something from
- ourside our atmosphere. Dr. James E. McDonald, Professor of Atmospheric
- physics, University of Arizona. 1967.
-
- 5. I've been convinced for a long time that the flying saucers are real and
- interplanetary. Another words we are being watched by beings from outer
- space. Albert M. Chop, deputy public relations director, National
- Aeronautics and Space Administration, and former United States Air Force
- spokesman for Project Blue Book.
-
- 6. The least improbable explanation is that these things UFO's are artificial
- and controlled. My opinion for some time has been that they have an
- extraterrestrial origin. Dr. Maurice Bilot, one of the world's leading
- aerodynamicists and mathematical physicists. Life, April 7, 1952
-
- 7. Of course the flying saucers are real and they are interplanetary.
- Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, commanding officer of the Royal Air Force
- of Great Britain, August 1954
-
- Comments: It would seem that many people thought there was something to
- all of this stuff called UFO's and if this is all true, could it
- be that all of us are being mislead. One thing is for sure the
- history of this subject matter is being forgotten and there is over
- 40 years of it. It should be very clear to many people that this
- at least is true and if so then why ? I must admit this does bother
- me to think that we think so little of ourselves not to care about
- whats real and whats not. The old story is why should anyone care
- unless there is some money to be made or does this really concern
- a layman who does not know anything anyway are so they say. but
- who are they ? This is what we should start finding out and then
- maybe we will be a little closer to the problem. There has been
- to many good men who put themselves on the line for such a good
- cause, I believe we call this truth or have we forgotten this too.

- Dale D. Goudie, Director Of CUFON.

-
- NASA should get out of the business of launching spacecraft and let
- private industry take over before astronomical costs cancel the space program
- forever, according to one member of a presidential commission on U.S. space
- strategy.
-
- Unless we can redically lower the cost of reaching space, it's possible that
- this country may not go, said David Webb, a space development consultant and
- member of President Reagan's National Commission on Space, in an interview
- here yesterday.
-
- Webb will address the Space Development Conference at 3:30 p.m. today in the
- Westin Hotel. The Commission delivered its recommendations to the president
- Friday, although parts of the controversial report had earlier been leaked to
- trade journals. The report describes layers of space stations between the
- earth, moon and mars to be built by 2017.
-
- The cost of putting objects into space must be slashed to noe-tenth its
- present level, from $2,000 per pound, to $200 per pound, to make further space
- exploitation possible, Webb said. That means that the private sector should
- be more heavily involved in designing and opwerating space craft.

- Close-Up Mystery Air Force Crash
-
- Hush Fuels Reports That Doomed Plane Was "Stealth"
-
- Knlght-Ridder Newspapers and Reuters:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Bakersfield, Calif. - Out on Rancheria Road stands a roadblock manned
- by two soldiers wearing "sunglasses", green-and-brown camouflage outfits
- and black M-16 rifles slung over their backs.
-
- Beyond that roadblock, out in the sun-bleached hills about 12 miles from
- Bakersfield, is a mystery.
-
- Early last Friday, something fell out of the sky and into a canyon in the
- Sequoia National Forest, crashing on Kenneth and Agnes Mebane's ranch about
- 4 miles south of the roadblock. It is something the Air Force wishes no one
- else knew about. And they intend to do everything they can to keep others
- from finding out.
-
- I haven't asked them anything, says 63-year-old Kenneth Mebane of the soldiers
- who moved onto his property without asking permission shortly after the 2 A.M.
- incident.
-
- Then, echoing many who live nearby, Mebane adds, I think that's their business.
- Officiallt, the Air Force says only that one of its planes crashed and that its
- pilot, Maj. Ross Mulhare, was killed.
- Military analysts suspect the plane was one of a number of top-secret Stealth
- fighters designed to be virtually invisible to enemy radar. The Pentagon
- refuses to acknowledge that any such planes exist, although it is known the Air
- Force currently has three Stealth programs in operation.
-
- The plane also is suspected to have come from nearby Edwards Air Force Base,
- although the military won't comfirm or deny that. I can't say where it was
- based at or where it was going, say Air Force Lt. Col. Jerry Guess, who is
- stationed at Edwards and who is the only authorized dpokesman at the crash
- scene. So much secrecy is ironic in light of a pending congressional
- investigation into reports that the Lockheed Corp., major contractor for the
- F-19 Stealth fighter, may have lost hundreds of documents involved with its
- Stealth research.
-
- The plane was first sighted by a pilot in a small commercial airplane, who
- radioed the Federal Aviation Administration in Los Angeles. The FAA notified
- the Forest Service, which called in Kern County firefighters from Bakersfield
- to put out a 120 acre fire sparked by the crash. Fire Capt. Darrell Tiede
- and his crew from the Niles station house arrived before the military and saw
- the wreckage. But Tiede refuses to talk about it. A reporter for the
- Bakersfield Californian says one firefighter described the crash site as molten
- iron. But the reporter says the man's supervisor quickly told him not to say
- anymore.
-
- Kern County Fire Capt. Bill Alexander says all the secrecy can cause problems.
- Air Force personnel shooed firefighters away from the area before they had
- completely mopped up the blaze, he says. A Kern County "coroner's investigator
- was dispatched to the ranch, but turned back to Bakersfield when military
- officials said they were taking care of the remains. The Air Force refuses to
- say where the pilot was taken."
-
- While the cleanup continues, the Air Force has moved into an office at
- Meadows Field, Bakersfield's public airport. And it has been flying helicopters
- and twin-engine planes in and out of the field over the past six days. If the
- plane that crashed was a Stealth model, the Air Force has to be concerned that
- no debris is left in the area. Not only is the sleek, highly aerodynamic shape
- of a Stealth fighter believed important in eluding radar, but the materials
- used to build the plane must be of a special kind to absorb,rather than reflect
- , enemy radar. Thus the military would have to make sure that every chunk of
- the plane's body was removed.

- REAGAN TO GORBACHEV: " THREAT FROM ET'T WOULD UNITE EARTH "
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- President Reagan revealed wednesday that his discussions with soviet
- leader Mikhail Gorbachev, touched not only on "Star Wars," but the
- extraterrestrial.
-
- In an address to students at Fallston High School here, reahan departed
- from his prepared remarks to say that in his private discussions with
- Gorbachev at last months Geneva summit, he noted that "we're all god
- children.
-
- I couldn't help but say to him just think how easy his task and mine
- might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly if there was a threat
- to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the
- universe, Reagan said the president went on to say that such an event
- would force himself and Gorbachev to forget all the little local differences
- that we have between our countries and they would find out that we really
- are all human beings here on this earth together.
-
- Well, I don't suppose we can wait for some alien race to come down and
- threaten us, Reagan added. But I think that between us we can bring about
- that realization.
-
- The President then ended his remarks, without giving his young audience a
- clue as to how Gorbachev reponded.
