Danny Casolaro, an investigative reporter looking into the theft of Project Promise software, a program capable of tracking down anyone anywhere in the world, died in 1991. 

 

A reported suicide.

Casolaro was also investigating several UFO "No-Nos" Pine Gap, Area 51 and governmental bioengineering.

Flying Saucer Investigator Dorothy Kilgallen Suicided (Murdered) By Silence Group

Dorothy Kilgallen

Death by gunshot to the head. Death by probable poisoning. Death by probable strangulation. Deaths possibly by implantation of deadly viruses. No one lives forever. 

Yet the recent suspicious deaths of UFO investigators as well as the deaths of a host of researchers in the past only seem to add emphasis to a reality with which many of the more aware UFOIogists are now quite familiar. 

Not only is UFO research potentially dangerous but the life span of the average serious investigator falls far short of the national average.
 
Mysterious and suspicious deaths among UFO investigators arc nothing new. In 1971 the well-known author and researcher Otto Binder wrote an article for Saga magazine's Special UFO Report titled "Liquidation of the UFO Investigators:' 

Binder had researched the deaths of "no less than 137 flying saucer researchers, writers, scientists, and witnesses who had died in the previous 10 years, "many under the most mysterious circumstances."

The selected cases Binder offered were loaded with a plethora of alleged heart attacks, suspicious cancers and what appears to be outright examples of murder.

 

We will have occasion to refer to many of these cases but first let us take a look at more recent evidence of highly suspect deaths among present day researchers.

Spider Web of Causes 

What we may have IS a concatenation, a spider web, of interweaving threads which are causal and often, in fact, deadly. One thread is the activities of the United States (and other) intelligence agencies. Another thread is possible extraterrestrial involvement.

 

A third thread is the involvement of certain PSI-tech think tanks and private PSI/PK practitioners including negative occultists. 

 

A possible fourth thread is highly reactionary religious cults which feel they are carrying out the will of God. 

 

It is more than likely that one or more or all of the above agencies are responsible in whole or in part for many of the deaths from the recent past which have already been mentioned and many of those remaining cases from the present to the more distant past, some of which we will now explore.
 

Dorothy Kilgallen 

Dorothy Kilgallen was the most famous syndicated woman journalist of her day. Stationed in England in 1954 and 1955, and privy to the highest levels of English society and its secrets, she wired two unusual dispatches which may have contributed to her death.

 

The first, sent in February 1954, mentioned a "special hush-hush meeting of the world's military heads" scheduled to take place the following summer.

 

The 1955 dispatch, which barely preceded her death from an alleged overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol (a la Marilyn Monroe), quoted an unnamed British official of cabinet rank, 

 

`We believe, on the basis of our inquiry thus far, that saucers were staffed by small men probably under four feet tall. It's frightening, but there is no denying the flying saucers come from another planet.'
 

Whatever the source (rumored to be the Earl of Mountbatten), this kind of leak in the atmosphere of the mid- 50s was an unacceptable leak.

 

It is well to recall that the secret Central intelligence Agency-orchestrated Robertson Panel had met in 1953 and issued the Robertson Report. Briefly summarized, this document-and the attitudes reflected there - represented a new hard-line attitude to covering up all significant UFO phenomena.

The year 1953 and the meeting of the Robertson Panel truly initiated the UFO coverup as we know it today, with a few extra dollops having been added.
 
Did Dorothy Kilgallen actually commit accidental suicide? There appears to be an excellent chance she had help.

Flying Saucer Investigator Morris Jessup Suicided (Murdered) By Silence Group

Morris Jessup

Morris Jessup

When astronomer and archaeologist Morris Jessup allegedly committed suicide in Dade County Park, Florida, in 1959 certain alarm bells should have gone off. 

 

There is no doubt the well known author of such influential works as The Case for the UFO and The Expanding Case for the UFO had been depressed.

Things had not been going well for him, and he had, it must be admitted, indicated his gloom to close friends, Ivan Sanderson, the biologist, and Long John Nebel, the well-known New York City radio host. 

 

Sanderson reported him disturbed by "a series of strange events" which put him "into a completely insane world of unreality."

Was the reality Jessup was faced with at the time "completely insane" or were there, perhaps, forces driving Jessup to the edge, forces with a plan? 

 

Anna Genzlinger thoroughly investigated his death.

Her conclusion: "He was under some sort of control." Remember, these were the days of secret governmental mind control experiments which have only recently been uncovered.

Certain facts about the case raise red flags.

For example, no autopsy was performed, contrary to state law. Sergeant Obenclain, who was on the scene shortly after Jessup's body was discovered, has said for the record, "Everything seemed too professional."

The hose from the car exhaust was wired on and it was, strangely, a washing machine hose. Jessup died at rush hour with more than the usual amount of traffic passing by.

He had been visited by Carlos Allende three days before his death and according to his wife had been receiving strange phone calls. We know the Navy was very much interested in what he was doing. 

 

We all know, or should know, it is the ONI (Office of Naval Investigations) that has been in the forefront, from the very beginning, of the UFO coverup.

What of particular interest was Jessup investigating at the time? Something that was top secret and would remain so for some time. The Philadelphia Experiment.

Champion Flying Saucer Investigator James McDonald Suicided (Murdered) By Silence Group

James McDonald

One of the most intriguing and appalling deaths in UFOlogy was that of James McDonald. A purported suicide.

The details of this death, despite official pronouncements to the contrary, is disturbing to say the least. McDonald was successful and was deeply immersed in the relatively new UFO phenomena.

James McDonald

McDonald was senior physicist of Institute of Atmospheric Physics and also professor in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Arizona. He died in 1971 purportedly of a gunshot wound to the head.

There is no one who had worked harder in the 1960s than McDonald to convince Congress to hold serious substantial subcommittee meetings to explore the UFO reality of which he was thoroughly convinced. The scientist was definitely a thorn in the side of those who maintained the official coverup.

Needless to say his passing to them would be a blessing.
 

McDonald, allegedly depressed, shot himself in the head. But he did not die. He was wheelchair ridden but somehow, several months after his first attempt, allegedly got in an automobile, drove to a pawnshop, purchased another pistol from his wheelchair, drove to the desert then did himself in.

How convenient, one might say, for his powerful adversaries. McDonald, there can be no doubt, had made enemies. The question is: How much did these enemies aided and abetted the demise of this most worthy and influential campaigner?

Contactee Paul Villa Photos Provide An Inner Consistency Which Remains Intact Since Early 1960's

Extraordinary UFO Contact

It all started June 16, 1963 near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mechanic Paul Villa had the unique privilege of having arranged meetings with outer space visitors for the express purpose of taking pictures of their craft. Contacts of one kind or another were not new to Villa who had been taught telepathy by extraterrestrial intelligences since he was five years of age.

Schooling Limited For Contactee

Villa did not complete the 10th grade but seemed to possess knowledge on such subjects as mathematics, electricity, physics and mechanics. The New Mexican had the unusual gift for detecting defects in engines.

Flying Saucers Not New Sight For Villa

Villa said that prior to photographing his first series of saucers in 1963 he had seen about five flying saucers in the previous five years. He disclosed that he had conversed with occupants of those craft. His first picture-taking contact was his second in-person meeting with extraterrestrial beings. The first was in 1953 while he was working for the Department of Water and Power in Los Angeles, California. While on the job one day in Long Beach he had a strong urge to go down to the beach. A feeling he did not understand. There he met a man about seven feet tall. Villa was apprehensive at first and wanted to flee but was calmed by the entity who called him by name and related personal details to him.

Exchange Changes Villa

Villa realized that he was communicating with a very superior intelligence. The contactee then became aware that this being was a spaceman. The entity knew everything Villa had in his mind and told him many things that had happened in his life. The entity then told Villa to look out beyond the reef. He saw a metallic looking disc-shaped object that seemed to be floating on the water. Then the spaceman asked him if he would like to go aboard the craft and look around. Villa went with him.

Special Visitors Make Impression

Villa said the flying saucer occupants were entirely humanoid in appearance although better looking in general than Earth people. They were more refined in the face and the body. They possessed an advanced knowledge of science as evidenced by their craft. They told Villa that the whole galaxy to which the Earth belongs is a grain of sand on a huge beach in relation to the unfathomable number of inhabited galaxies in the entire universe. Because of their technological advancement their spaceships can effortlessly penetrate radar detection systems.

UFOs Can Avoid Radar Easily

Craft are only detected on radar when occupants wish them to be. They said they were here on a friendly mission to help Earth people. There is a base on the moon. They said a Superior Intelligence (God?) governs the universe and everything in it. And oh all those wonderful photographs!

Genuine UFO Photo Stands Test Of Time

What was historic date? For residents of McMinnville, Oregon it was June 9, 1950. That is when the photo of an unidentified flying object snapped by Paul Trent appeared in an edition of the Telephone Register newspaper. The historic photos were actually taken a month earlier in May. To be precise, May 11.

UFO Photo Makes Rounds

The puzzling photo was published in The Oregonian. Life Magazine, a rag so fired up to frame innocent United States Marine Lee Harvey Oswald a few years later, provided the UFO photo with a national audience.

Wife First To View Unusual Object

Mrs. Trent was the first to see the object which resembled a classic flying saucer. She pointed it out to her husband who quickly obtained a camera from inside their farmhouse. The farmer was only able to capture two images of the UFO during its overflight. UFO believers proclaim the photos genuine. Skeptics, as expected, cry hoax.

No Rush To Develop Film

The farm couple was so unimpressed with the photos that they did not rush out immediately to have the film processed. Skeptics have attempted to utilize this as indication of a hoax. What it indicates is that Trent wanted to complete all pictures on the roll before having it developed. Sounds reasonable to me.

Backgrounds Give Skeptics No Ammunition

Both the Trents were subjected to exhaustive background checks. To date no evidence has surfaced which would in any way shape, form or fashion implicate them in a hoax. A UFO Festival is held every year in McMinnville. This is the largest such gathering in the Pacific Northwest.

UFO Investigators Still Being Accidented & Suicided At Alarming Rates

Mae Brussell

Deke Slayton

Death by gunshot to the head. Death by probable poisoning. Death by probable strangulation. Deaths possibly by implantation of deadly viruses. No one lives forever. 

Yet the recent suspicious deaths of UFO investigators Phil Schneider, Ron Johnson, Con Routine, Ann Livingston and Karln Turner, as well as the deaths of a host of researchers in the past, only seem to add emphasis to a reality with which many of the more aware UFOlogists are now quite familiar: not only is UFO research potentially dangerous, but the life span of the average serious investigator falls far short of the national average.
 
Mysterious and suspicious deaths among UFO investigators arc nothing new. In 1971, the well-known author and researcher Otto Binder wrote an article for Saga magazine's Special UFO Report titled "Liquidation of the UFO Investigators:'

The selected cases Binder offered were loaded with a plethora of alleged heart attacks, suspicious cancers and what appears to be outright examples of murder.

We will have occasion to refer to many of these cases, but first let us take a look at more recent evidence of highly suspect deaths among present day researchers. 

Who or what is killing UFO investigators now and in the past? Probably some of the deaths presented here-that look at first glance so suspicious---are in fact natural or accidental or self-inflicted because of stress or mental imbalances.

But, as Otto Binder noted more than 25 years ago, there are so many. Pure common sense, and good logic, should lead us to believe that the high incidence of premature death in a field which has a limited number of investigators is very disproportionate compared to the population at large.
 

Spider Web of Causes

What we may have IS a concatenation, a spider web, of interweaving threads which are causal and often, in fact, deadly. One thread is the activities of the US (and other) intelligence agencies. Another thread is possible ET involvement.

A third thread is the involvement of certain PSI-tech think tanks and private PSI/PK practitioners, including negative occultists.

A possible fourth thread is highly reactionary religious cults which feel they are carrying out the will of God. 

It is more than likely that one or more or all of the above agencies are responsible in whole or in part for many of the deaths from the recent past, which have already been mentioned and many of those remaining cases from the present to the more distant past, some of which we will now explore.
 

Mae Brussell 

Not long ago, Mae Brussell, a gutsy, no-holds-barred, investigative radio host died of a fast-acting cancer just like Ann Livingston and Karla Turner. Brussell was acutely interested in UFOlogy.
 

Deke Slayton 

Deke Slayton, the astronaut, was purportedly ready to talk about his UFO experiences, but cancer also intervened.
 

Brian Lynch 

Brian Lynch, young psychic and contactee, died in 1985, purportedly of a drug overdose.

According to Lynch's sister, Geraldine, Brian was approached approximately a year before his death by an intelligence operative working for an Austin, Texas, PSI-tech company. Geraldine said they told Brian they were experimenting on psychic warfare techniques.

After his death, a note in his personal effects was found with the words "Five million from Pentagon for Project Scanate."
 

Don Elkin 

In the '80s Eastern Airlines pilot Captain Don Elkin committed suicide. He had been investigating the UFO coverup for over 10 years and, at the time, was deep into the study of the Ra material with Maria Rucker.

There are reports of negative psychological interferences having developed during this latter investigation.

Outer Space Fireflies Small Redemption For Viciously Ridiculed George Adamski

George Adamski

Fireflies which cannot be viewed except in space

Never Address Serious Allegations (NASA) Confirmed Space Fireflies

The United States spacecraft which carried astronot John Glenn moved across Australia and across the Pacific to Canton Island. Glenn experienced a short 45 minute night and prepared the periscope for viewing his first sunrise in orbit. As the sun rose over Canton Island, he saw thousands of little specks, brilliant specks, floating around outside the capsule. As Friendship 7 moved into brighter sunlight, the fireflies disappeared. They were later believed to be small ice crystals venting from on board spacecraft systems.

George Adamski Was Already Aware Of Fireflies Phenomena

UFO Contactee George Adamski reported seeing billions and billions of fireflies flickering everywhere. This fireflies sighting occurred when he visited the dark side of the moon on one of the Venusian craft. The fireflies phenomena was apparently verified eight years later when Glenn returned from a space flight reporting the very same fireflies. Never Address Serious Allegations (NASA), in its haste to grasp at any explanation regardless of how implausible, trotted out the tiresome ice crystals venting from on board spacecraft systems excuse.

Adamski Did Not Even Attempt Transparent Excuses For Phenomena

The UFO contactee merely related what he witnessed when it came to the fireflies phenomena. Adamski did not insult the intelligence of anyone by stating that the fireflies resulted from ice crystals venting from on board the Venusian spacecraft systems. There is no way the contactee could have known about the phenomena without having traveled high enough to view the fireflies. NASA verified what Adamski already knew. Orthon took Adamski up for far less than American taxpayers shelled out to put Glenn in orbit.

Arrogant Astronot Snide When Making Remarks About Fireflies

Glenn was asked about the mysterious cosmic fireflies he had seen outside his capsule each dawn. The astronot amused the audience by telling them some of the odd theories he had received by mail. Someone asked him if he now believed in UFOs. “Yes, if you call them small,” Glenn replied hopefully with a straight face. The NASA stooge then added that he had never seen an unidentified flying object. When someone in the audience offered to show him a photo of a genuine UFO Glenn virtually laughed them off with a some other time recommendation.

Fireflies Phenomena Advance Notice Hard To Ridicule Or Shrug Off

While Glenn was following the official NASA party line he made no attempt to rationalize how Adamski, an individual he no doubt personally regards as a fraud and hoaxer, could possibly have known about the fireflies phenomena while remaining earthbound. It should be emphasized that this phenomena is only visible well above the Earth atmosphere. There is no way Adamski could have guessed that the space fireflies existed. His telescope was not a magical one which could mysteriously bring them into a field of focus.

Perhaps Orthon Did Take Adamski Into Outer Space

Did Adamski observe the fireflies phoenema first hand? Up close and personal? Was his account simply a truthful narrative which happened to include something which could not be verified until man soared above the Earth atmosphere? Are space fireflies more than NASA contends they are? I personally do not believe a damn word NASA says or has ever said. Blatant bald face lies prove beyond a doubt, to my personal satisfaction, that the moon remains virgin territory. Unless, of course, Adamski visited there with Orthon.

Brief Recap Of Five Historic 1950's Flying Saucer Contactees

George Adamski

Unidentified Flying Object Contactees Emerge In 1950s

Something definitely strange was going on in regard to UFO contactees in the 1950s. That is fact not conjecture. Five major contactees stepped to the forefront during this time.

Granddaddy Of All Contactees George Adamski

The California contactee conversed with an outer space visitor on November 20, 1952 at Desert Center, California. The historic encounter was witnessed by others who signed legal documents to attest the occurence. Plaster prints of space visitor footprints were made. Strange hieroglyphics remain undeciphered. The contactee authored two books. Adamski bolstered his claims with photographic evidence which has never been satisfactorily debunked.

Spacemen Contact Yet Another In California

Next in the contactee line was Truman Bethurum who was a mechanic laying asphalt in the California desert when his 1954 meeting with outer space visitors took place. The captain of the flying saucer was a woman. The point of origin, unlike Venus for the Adamski encounter, was a planet called Clarion. The contactee wrote a book about his experience. Proof consisted of a written note in French translated into English and Chinese by the female flying saucer captain. No photographic evidence has ever surfaced.

Space Folks Initiate First Non-California Contact

During the same magical year of 1954 Daniel Fry was also enlightened by space visitors. This historic exchange took place at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. The contactee was whisked to New York, New York then back. This flying saucer junket lasted half an hour. Fry wrote a book which was also well received by all truth seekers. No photographic evidence has ever surfaced. I vaguely remember a UFO photo I saw somewhere being credited to Fry. Oh well.

Another Mechanic Favored By UFO Pilots

Aircraft corporation mechanic Orfeo Angelucci of California (apparently state of choice for flying saucer occupants) interacted with space visitors in 1955. The contactee stepped forward when a craft landed in a field in Los Angeles, California. Angelucci said he met Jesus Christ. The contactee professed to have taken rides in flying saucers. The historic happenings are preserved in a book. No evidence (photographic or other) has ever surfaced.

New Jersey Sign Painter Gets Next Contactee Call

Contactee Howard Menger burst upon in scene in 1959 although he claimed his contacts with outer space visitors were initially initiated when he was a child. The contactee was playing in the woods when he encountered a woman from outer space. He was told the visitors originated from Mars and Venus. An overflight of the moon revealed many wonderous things such as buildings and breathable oxygen. Menger actually recorded outer space music on a commercially available record album. Good luck locating a copy! He authored a book. This contactee provided an abundance of truly baffling photographic evidence.

Mississippi To Alabama Outer Space Style

Were the entities which examined Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker in Pascagoula, Mississippi photographed less than a week later by Falkville Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw in Falkville, Alabama? The possibility certainly warrants intense investigation.

Fishermen Reeled In By Outer Space Entities

October 11, 1973 is a date Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker will never forget. The anglers were on a Pascagoula Bay pier when a UFO appeared. The two men were floated aboard the craft where they underwent unsettling physical examinations. The incident remains unexplained.

Police Chief Photographs Entity

October 17, 1973 is a date Falkville Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw will never forget. He responded to a call at 10:15 p.m. which led to a bizarre encounter. Greenhaw was startled when a shiny something appeared in his car headlights. The lawman managed to snap four photos of the entity with his Polaroid camera. Greenhaw was unable to track down whatever it was. The incident remains unexplained.

Entities Apparently Remarkably Similiar

Were UFOnauts on a tour of the South in 1973? That certainly seems to be the case. The Mississippi examination occurred less than a week prior to the Alabama incident. The entities have enough simiiar features for a closer investigation. Robot-like and stiff were how they were described by the three witnesses. Greenhaw saw one entity. Hickson and Parker saw three. Maybe the others waited in craft during Alabama stopover.

Photos Of Man In Fire Suit?

Did Greenhaw snap pictures of a man in a shiny silver fire suit? That is the common belief. One which I find extremely difficult to believe. The entity outpaced the police car. Certainly difficult for any human being to accomplish. Especially one burdened down by a bulky heavy shiny fire suit. Why did entity allow pictures to be taken? I theorize that entity had no fear of Greenhaw whatsoever.

Images Leave Haunting Impression

When one carefully examines the Greenhaw photos and the sketch of the Pascagoula entity an alarm bell goes off. They are just too damn similar! Hands by sides, cone-type heads, apparently similar hands (claws?) and other-worldly appearances perhaps due to shiny or elephant-like outer covering. Skeptics have tried unsuccessfully to prove hoaxes in both cases. Both incidents remain unexplained decades after they occurred.

Verified Flying Saucer Landing From 1964 Has Defied All Lame Debunking Efforts After Over Half A Century

UFO Case Which Continues To Confound Skeptics

One of the most intriguing cases of a UFO sighting with physical trace evidence is that of the 1964 landing of an unknown craft witnessed by policeman Lonnie Zamora. This event has been a mainstay of Ufology for almost 40 years and is definitely one of those cases which will not go away. The incident began at 5:45 P.M. on April 24, 1964, in Socorro, New Mexico. Thirty-one year old policeman Lonnie Zamora was on patrol when he was passed by a car which was obviously speeding. Zamora took off in chase of the vehicle, but suddenly heard a loud roar in the distance, accompanied by a bluish, orange flame rising into the air. He knew that there was a dynamite shack not too distant from him and he thought at first that there had been an explosion there.

Policeman Makes Twilight Zone Excursion

Abandoning the chase for the speeder, he pointed his police car in the direction of the shack. He radioed his activities to the dispatcher. As Zamora proceeded towards the rising smoke and flame the aftermath of the explosion seemed to disappear and reappear because of the rising and dipping roads he traveled. The route he was on was a narrow gravel one and it wound around a small gully. As he approached the location of the shack, he noticed in the distance a shining object, anywhere from 100 to 200 yards away. His first reaction to this sight was that it was an automobile which had overturned and its gas tank had exploded. Upon a closer look he discovered that it was an oval-shaped object without windows or doors. He stated that the object was about the same bulk of a medium-sized car.

Children Turn Out To Be Very Small Humans

He was drawn to an unusual red insignia on the side of the object and then noticed two beings that he thought at first to be children, dressed in white overalls. He recalled that one of the children seemed to jump upon noticing him. Regaining his composure Zamora immediately radioed the sheriff's office the details of the incident. He decided to get a closer look at the strange scene before him. He then heard a loud roar and saw a bluish flame shoot out of the underside of the object. Afraid that it was going to explode he fell to the ground to protect himself. Next, he saw the object lift off the ground, and head southeast, flying in a straight line for about 10-15 miles. The legs that he had seen earlier had disappeared.

State Lawmen Drawn Into UFO Web

Having intercepted the earlier radio transmission, State Police Sergeant Sam Chavez arrived at the scene just after the craft disappeared into the sky. The first military investigator on the scene, on April 25, was Army Captain Richard T. Holder, Up-Range Commander of White Sands Proving Grounds, along with an FBI agent, D. Arthur Byrnes, Jr., from the Albuquerque office. Major William Connor from Kirtland AFB and Sgt. David Moody, who was in the area on TDY, investigated for Air Force Project Blue Book on April 26. Dr. Allen Hynek arrived on April 28. Hynek also conducted a follow-up investigation on August 15, 1964.

UFO Champion James McDonald Makes A Discovery

In 1968, Dr. James McDonald, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Arizona, said that he had learned of an alleged patch of fused sand at the landing site. Two additional witnesses, Paul Kies and Larry Kratzer of Dubuque, Iowa, submitted statements to Hynek on May 29, 1968. In May of 1978 Ralph C. DeGraw, an Iowa investigator, interviewed them. They were driving just southwest of Socorro at about 6:00 p.m. that day when they noticed something shiny and a cloud of smoke near the ground in the vicinity of the town. Later they heard a newscast about Zamora's sighting and the significance of what they had seen became apparent. Kratzer said he watched as a round, saucer or egg-shaped object ascended vertically from the black smoke... After climbing vertically out of the smoke, the object leveled off and moved in a southwest direction. He said the object was silvery and had a row of apparent portholes across the side and a red Z marking toward one end. At the time he thought it might have been an experimental vertical-lift aircraft. Kies saw only a shiny spot and the smoke.

Project Blue Book Completely Stumped Even Years After Incident

Two years after the sighting, Major Hector Quintanilla, Air Force Chief of Project Blue Book at the time of the sighting, confided to intelligence specialists in a classified CIA publication that the Socorro case remained puzzling. With the help of many other agencies, he had conducted an exhaustive check of military activities looking for an explanation, but none could be found. As other officers and investigators arrived, they discovered deep landing marks and footprints on the ground. FBI and Air Force personnel soon joined local authorities in the investigation, and found bent and burned brush in several places surrounding the spot where the object had sat. Measurements taken by police verified that there were 4 indentations on the ground; the distance between them formed a quadrilateral whose diagonals intersected at exactly 90 degree angles.

Zamora Character Above Reproach

Zamora was known as a well-respected, reliable police officer with no hint of impropriety in his life, personal or professional. He described the event in detail to all who reviewed this case, including renown UFO investigator J. Allen Hynek, who represented the Air Force at the time of Zamora's sighting. Immediately after the incident, he made a drawing of the insignia he saw on the side of the craft. The case received a great deal of press, and a lot of attention by UFO groups around the world. The one negative aspect of the Socorro incident, however, is that Zamora, though considered reliable by everyone who knew him, was the sole witness of the event. Naturally, any report is given more weight when multiple witnesses are involved.

Ridicule From Ignorant Follows UFO Landing

Zamora took such ridicule and kidding from members of the police force and local community, that he retired only two years after the incident. The case does not prove the existence of extraterrestrial life, but there is no doubt that some type of unusual craft with occupants did land, and take off again. Hynek, who interviewed Zamora on more than one occasion, believes every word that Zamora said.

Lonnie Zamora passed away in 2009 but never relented from the truth of what he saw that day.

Nazi Flying Saucers Would Have Made An Outcome-Changing Difference In World War II Had Development Procedures Allowed To Progress Just A Little Bit Longer

Official document

Illegal American Paperclip Hardcore Nazis Remain Active

Others claim that a large number of Antarcticans have infiltrated South America by way of Argentina and in turn North America where the German "UFO forces have reportedly established several underground bases. They are reportedly working with illegal Paperclip Nazis, members of various Bavarian fraternal cults and Anglo-American corporate fascicts in a plan to bring down America by creating a fascist revolution in the United States like the one that brought the Nazis to power in Germany. The concentration camps, thousands of train cars equipped with shackles and executive orders for the implementation of martial law are already in place.

Missing German Vessels Remain Unsettling Mystery Decades Later

More than 100 submarines of the German fleet are missing. Among those are many of the highly technological XXII class equipped with the so-called Walterschnorchel which is a special designed and coated schnorkel enabling submarines in combination with their new developed engines to dive for many thousand miles. A trip to the base without recognition becomes pretty possible with this technology. The United States Navy tries to destroy the German base which did not surrender at the end of war. The operation is a disaster. The base remains functional, at least in parts. More than one year after the surrendering of U 977 the USA Navy launches the biggest military operation in the Antarctic ice under the command of Admiral Richard E. Byrd.

Operation Highjump Overwhelming USA Military Disaster

This is Operation HIGHJUMP, including 13 ships, one aircraft carrier, two seaplane tenders, six two-engined R4D transports and 4,000 men. The only official statement on the purpose of such a task force is the need for testing new material under the extreme Antarctic conditions. The force starts up at the established USA bases in the ROSS SEA, then it moves up the western Antarctic coast heading toward the Northern Antarctic coast, NEUSCHWABENLAND and building up a bridgehead on January 27, 1947 somewhere west of it. Officially the expedition is a big success because it delivers many new facts of the use of military equipment under extreme conditions. What is the need of such a big task force in this area? If the expedition was such a success why did Byrd already return to the USA in February 1947?

American People Sold Worthless Bill Of Goods Once More

The operation was planned and equipped for a full six to eight month duration. Did this expedition carry atomic warheads as some highly placed unimpeachable sources contend? The entire expedition lasted some eight weeks as suggested earlier. Highly placed sources claim that the actual battle once Byrd forces had been divided into three main battle groups on the continent of Antarctica lasted only three weeks. Byrd flew in 1947 at least one time in a right-twisted circle across the whole territory NEUSCHWABENLAND heading from southwest over the RITSCHER HOCHLAND and the eastern areas to the Pole.

Byrd Statements Should Have Alerted Americans To Truth

On his return to the USA, Byrd reveals in an often quoted but nowhere validated interview with a reporter that it was necessary for the USA to take defensive actions against enemy air fighters which come from the polar regions and that in case of a new war, the USA would be attacked by fighters that are able to fly from one pole to the next with incredible speed. This quote has been validated. Byrd has to face a secret cross-examination by USA authorities. The USA withdraws from the Antarctic for almost a decade. Another claim which has been made by certain investigators, although the original source is difficult to track down, was that upon returning to the States Admiral Byrd went into a rage before the President and Joint Chiefs of Staff and in an almost demanding tone, strongly suggested that Antarctica be turned into a thermonuclear test range.

Some 1940 UFO Sightings May Have Been German Flying Discs

Worldwide mass sightings of UFOs. In the late 1970s it becomes more and more obvious that many of these sightings are identical in some technical details with the HANEBU series. This can be stated especially for the so called George Adamski scout ships and motherships in the early 1950s which somehow look very terrestrial, nearly in fashion style of this decade and somehow very different from the rest of flat-bottomed crafts. The International Antarctic year with large civilian research projects starts. The result is the Antarctic treaty in which all participants agree to avoid any military operations in this region in future times. This treaty ended over a decade ago.

Portage County, Ohio UFO Police

These events have been the model for the scene of the UFO chase by the police in the world famous movie by Steven Spielberg. Yet, who knows that the scene was inspired by real events? This case is Project Blue Book Record 10073. "I've seen Venus many times, but I never saw Venus 50 feet above a road and moving from side to side like this was..." Portage County Sheriff Ross Dustman to United Press International.

Events

In Summit County, Ohio, on April 17, 1966 a woman has called the police to report a UFO sighting. Patrol cars in the nearby counties have received the notification through the radio and laughed about it. At about 5:00 A.M. on April 17, 1966 Portage County, Ohio Sheriff deputy Dale Spaur and Wilbur "Barney" Neff, temporary police auxiliary, stopped on Route 224 near Ravenna to investigate what appeared to be an abandoned car. According to a legend, the car was full of what seemed to be radio equipment and had an insignia on the door consisting of a triangle with a lightning bolt inside it and the words "Seven Steps to Hell" written above the triangle. "Seven Steps to Hell" is the motto of the 7th Army, however, their insignia is an "A" with stepped sides.

Vehicle Not Connected With Events

The allegedly mysterious automobile is no part of the factual aspect of the incident. The thorough investigation William Weitzel for NICAP indicates that Weitzel learned that the automobile owner was quickly traced and that he actually examined the vehicle himself while it was still parked along 224. He wrote, "It had some tapes, a cheap Japanese transistor toy tape recorder with a tape of hillbilly music on it, some miscellaneous electrical gear, in the back seat. Trunk full of old tires." The "Seven Steps to Hell" insignia was not on the car, only in witness Dale Spaur subsequent nightmares.

Something Rises Out Of Woods

As they checked the car, Spaur noticed something rising out of the woods behind them: "I always look behind me so no one can come up behind me. And when I looked in this wooded area behind us, I saw this thing.... As it came over the trees, I looked at Barney and he was still watching the car.. and he didn't say nothing and the thing kept getting brighter and the area started to get light..." The object was about 50 feet in diameter, with a bright, well-defined light beam shining down from the bottom. When Barney Neff saw the object he just stood there with his mouth open for a minute as bright as it was, and he looked down. And I started looking down and I looked at my hands and my clothes weren't burning or anything, when it stopped right over on top of us. The only thing, the only sound in the whole area was a hum... like a transformer being loaded or an overloaded transformer when it changes..."

Lawmen Ordered To Pursue Object

They broke for their patrol car. Once safely inside, Spaur radioed a quick report. A Sergeant Schoenfelt told them to follow the object. They chased the object at speeds of up to 100 mph as it headed east, constantly reporting their position on the radio to allow other officers to follow the chase. As the object moved to the east, Officer H. Wayne Huston of East Palestine, Ohio joined in the chase. He had been listening to the radio reports, and when he saw the object pass overhead with Spaur and Neff close behind, he took off in pursuit.

UFO Pursuit Leads Officers Into Another State

The chase continued across the state line into Pennsylvania, and as Spaur vehicle got low on gas, he pulled over to enlist the aid of a Conway, Pennsylvania officer. When Spaur stopped, so did the object. They phoned the Air Force from Conway, and minutes later over the radio they heard that jet fighters were being scrambled to intercept the object. The object had other plans and it suddenly shot straight up and vanished.

Description Of Object

Frank Panzenella, a Conway, PA police officer said: "The object was the shape of half a football, was very bright and about 25 to 35 feet in diameter.... The object continued to go upward until it got as small as a ballpoint pen. Relative to the moon, the object was quite distant and to the left of the moon. We all four watched the object shoot straight up and disappear."

UFO Image Captured On Film

Police Chief Gerald Buchert of Mantua photographed the object from in front of his home. The Air Force told him not to release the photo, but The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the photo showed an object that was like two saucers put together, with a light upper saucer upside down over a dark lower saucer. The picture was only seen by a reporter and Mr. Weitzel, NICAP investigator, who was not convinced, but it was never available for analysis. Spaur stated: "Somebody had control over it. It wasn't just an object floating around. It can manoeuver."

Debunking Explanation Takes Everything Into Account Except Facts

The official Air Force evaluation has concluded that the case is explained by an astronomical phenomenon. When asked for details, they explained that the officers had seen a satellite at first, and then had chased the planet Venus for 40-odd miles. Absolutely none of the witness and investigators could agree with this perfectly ridiculous explanation. At that time, after the Robertson Panel organized by the CIA, Project Blue Book did not have anything left of a possibly sincere research project but had clearly become an anti-UFO propaganda machine.

Official Investigation Involved One Man Plus A Few Minutes

The investigation by Major Quintanilla actually consisted of a two and a half minute phone call to Dale Spaur, starting with this question: tell me about this mirage you saw. Then a second minute and a half phone call was passed again only to Dale Spaur. According to a written and signed testimony by Spaur, Quintanilla wanted him to sign a text specifying that the sighting lasted only a few minutes.

Spaur Refuses To Be Coherced Into Verifying Untruth

Spaur protested that it was at least a 60 miles car chase covering two states, Quintanilla put an end to the conversation. It required Congressional pressures to have Quintanilla make his way to Ravenna to meet and interview Spaur and Neff. This time, Weitzel was there because Spaur asked him to tape his interview with Quintanilla. A partial transcription of the tape reproduced in Dr. J. Allen Hynek's first book "The UFO Experience," is very telling of the ways and manner of Quintanilla when he interrogated UFO witnesses.

Condon Committee Snubs Historically Important Case Per Its SOP

A detailed report on the incident was assembled by NICAP and this report was turned over to the Condon Committee, which did not mention it at all in their final report. Who would have thought? Because so many civilians were monitoring their radio broadcasts after the incident, the sheriff's office decided to give the UFO the code name Floyd. In June, 1966, Spaur saw Floyd again briefly. He just looked up and it was there. He radioed in that "Floyd's here with me!" Then he refused to look for several minutes. When he looked back, Floyd was gone.

Witnesses Suffer From Encounter

The men who were involved in this incident suffered for it. They were hounded by the media and ridiculed by others. Buchert and Neff stopped talking about the incident to anyone. Panzenella received so many phone calls about the incident that he finally had his phone disconnected. Huston quit the police department and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he became a bus driver, changing his preferred name from Wayne to Harold.

Spaur Life Becomes Total Nightmare

The life of Spaur was ruined. He was hounded even worse than the others. He began to have personal problems that culminated in his arrest for the assault and battery of his wife. He turned in his badge and made a meager living as a painter. His wife divorced him. Spaur said: "If I could change all that I have done in my life, I would change just one thing. And that would be the night we chased that damn thing. That saucer."

Scientist Deplores What Officials Did To Unimpeachable Witnesses

Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the respected astronomer who was supposed to explain UFO cases submitted to his expertise by the Project Blue Book of the US Air Force, and who after 20 years of research had changed from a complete skepticism to a conviction of the reality of the phenomenon as non-terrestrial in nature in some cases, did not personally investigate the case since as NICAP did it. He followed the unfolding and explained how utterly despicable Major Quintanilla's investigation and explanation was. He also notes that normally, Blue Book was supposed to consult him before pronouncing any astronomical explanation but in this case as in few others, he was not consulted at all. Nevertheless, he gave the reason why it could not have been Venus.

Dr James McDonald Comes To Defense Of Maligned Witnesses

Dr. James E. McDonald, a highly respected physician, specialist in atmospherics, studied the UFO phenomenon first with total skepticism then acquiring the conviction that the UFO phenomenon is probably of extra-terrestrial origin in some cases and should be see as the most important scientific issue of the century. He called for reevaluation of this case on April 17, 1966 not only on the scientific grounds involved but also to avoid unfairly subjecting to local public ridicule the several officers who have testified. Film maker Steven Spielberg used the case as inspiration in his world famous movie.
