- PENTAGON TO CURTAIL ELECTOMAGNETIC TESTS

- SPECIAL REPORT: WFBR 1300 AM - BOB OECHSLER
-
- We've been reporting our investigations over the past several
- weeks into the activities surrounding the Bay Bridge UFO Sightings
- in Annapolis and our inquiries into the possible interest these
- UFO's might have in this area.
-
- Our theory was that perhaps they may have more than a
- passing interest in the EMP tests (electromagnetic pulse) that we
- discovered were being conducted in the area. It was reported
- that MORE THAN A MILLION FISH WERE KILLED in the Chesapeake
- Bay during one of these tests early this year. We reported that
- a suit had been filed in federal court against the government to
- stop the testing. Discussions with officials at EPA resulted in a plea
- of ignorance. An official with the Navy indicated that the EMP
- tests were probably the result of degaussing of ships in the Bay.
-
- Today in the Washington Post it was announced that The Defense
- Department, under a legal agreement reached Friday night, must
- stop or moderate its electromagnetic pulse experiments at
- laboratories in Maryland, Virginia, Alabama and New Mexico
- until the government determines whether the energy is harming
- people and wildlife.
-
- The article goes on to say that electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
- is one type of radiation generated by nuclear explosions. The
- Pentagon has been simulating EMP to determine how to protect
- the circuitry in its planes, tanks and ships from being disabled
- by it. The Soviet Union, according to duscussions with the Pentagon,
- is far along on a "zap gun" that would use EMP radiation to kill
- troops and disable vehicles, and the Pentagon is interested in
- developing a similar weapon.
-
- The Justice Department, representing the Pentagon, reached the
- agreement this weekend with the Foundation on Economic Trends,
- an environmental group that sued on the grounds that the
- experiments were proceeding without the government first assessing
- their potential harm. The foundation had taken steps to question
- two employees of a Woodbridge, Virginial laboratory constructing
- EMP generators, about their environmental concerns and the
- alleged suppression of documents when the Justice Department
- suddenly decided to settle the case.
-
- The settlement states that the Navy's EMP facilities at Patuxent,
- Maryland Naval Air Station must be operated at low voltage, not
- more than one kilovolt per meter, until the environmental risks
- are assessed. AND the Navy's Empress I EMP simulator in the
- middle of the Chesapeake Bay may not be operated at all until
- the impact of its pulses is assessed. The projected Empress II
- pulse generator can not be built unless the Pentagon first
- files an environmental impact statement.
-
- What impact will this have on UFO activity over these areas?
- Only time will tell.
