Source: Northern Star, Goonellabah, NSW, Australia13 August, 2012MORE R EPORTS OF UFO SIGHTINGS UFO tracker Moira McGhee says seven new testimonies from Northern Rivers residents about recent UFOsightings are genuine.

Last week, the residents contacted Ms McGhee of the Independent Network of UFO Researchers afterreading in The Northern Star on August 6 about two UFO sightings over Kyogle and Mullumbimby.Other locals rang Ms McGhee last week claiming UFO sightings but she said there were inconsistencies intheir accounts.

However, Ms McGhee did believe a Casino man who claimed on August 2 he saw an object similar to theone spotted at Kyogle that night.

"There were some small differences," Ms McGhee said. "The other couple said it was orange and went fromnorth to south but this man said it was a solid bright white light that went south to north.

"He saw it at 7.30pm on Thursday (August 2), which is 15 minutes earlier than the couple at Kyogle. "Hethought it might have been a plane but it remained solidly lit as it went past, and it probably wasn't a weatherballoon because there's been no announcements from the Bureau of Meteorology."

Last week, a Nimbin woman contacted Ms McGhee claiming she saw a "dish with three little legs on it" over Tuntable Falls in early May.

"For about five to 10 minutes she saw an orange spinning light and it would go from white to orange," MsMcGhee said.

"Planes went above it and below it and it dimmed then lit back up when they'd gone. She got her binocularsout and said it almost looked like a dish with three little legs on it."

The witnesses will fill out formal reports to add to the organisation's collection of several thousand. MsMcGhee said with every new sighting comes 20 new questions. She would not fully endorse or deny an extra-terrestrial theory.

"We're sending things to Mars, why wouldn't they be sending things to us?" she said. "Out of all the hundredsof thousands of reports around the world, you just need one not to be of this earth."

Secret UFO files releasedDate August 5, 2012

It is probably the closest Australia has come to scrambling fighter jets to intercept a UFO.

Documents that have just become available under the 30-year rule at the National Archives of Australiareveal how two RAAF Mirage jets were placed on the second highest level of alert to determine the cause of unidentified radar contacts seen on screens at Mascot.

The ''X Files'' viewed in Canberra also give details of other unexplained sightings, some of which aresupported by witness statements to police.

In the Sydney alert, the papers stamped ''restricted'' tell how operation ''Close Encounter'' was launchedbyNo.3 Control and Reporting Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle on June 30, 1983, after the

phenomenon was first noticed earlier in the month.Senior air controllers at Mascot said the contacts were mostly located between 70 and 150 nautical milesnorth of Sydney at ''alleged speeds of 1100-6500 km/h that suggested high altitude''.

The papers state that no scramble was to occur in the round-the-clock operation unless confirmation of any reported tracks was made on the radar screens at RAAF Williamtown or any radar other than Sydney.

At the same time, three senior air defence controllers were dispatched to Sydney to investigate and plot every contact and ''control interceptors against these contacts if a reasonable chance of interception presenteditself''. But then one of the defence controllers, a squadron leader, asked whether a comparison had beenmade of the contacts on the screens of Mascot's Area Approach Radar Centre and those in a ''workshopacross the corridor''. Soon after, tests showed that the ''unidentified objects reported by Sydney were

generated entirely by radar interference known colloquially as 'running rabbits' ''.

Squadron leader K. Keenan, in his six-page report, said operation Close Encounter cost 66 days of overtime, 1000 kilometres was travelled by a staff car and a C130 Hercules transport aircraft ''may have beendiverted to Sydney airport'' to deliver one of the defence controllers.

He wrote: ''The lines of communication, extending as they did across the width of an entire corridor, seem tohave been insufficient for the purpose.''

He added rather dryly: ''Fortunately there was no temptation to launch aircraft and add to the fuel billoccasioned by use of the RAAF Datsun.'' A cautiously worded statement was released as a result ''in a manner

that would not embarrass departmental personnel'' which blamed ''random atmospheric conditions''. Otherreports in the X Files give details of an ''unidentified physical feature'' of circles on Milo Station at Adavale,Queensland, in 1982. The file refers to photographs that apparently were taken, but they were not among thepapers.

Constable Geoffrey Russell, from the local police station, visited the site and wrote a report for RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich. The officer saw depressions in the ground and thought they were caused by amotorcyclist doing donuts but then dismissed the idea.

He wrote: ''I strongly feel this [is] no hoax even though I do not know the cause of this 'feature'.''

He described a large circle of 2330mm in diameter with one inner circle of 2010mm which were 160mm in width and about 15-20 mm deep. The soil around the outer circle appeared to have been ''blown away'', hesaid.

Elsewhere in Queensland, dairy farmer Robin Priebe phoned Imbil police at 5.30am in July 1983 to reportseeing a strange object in the sky to the north of the town. The papers state that a Sergeant Waterson then

went to his back verandah and saw ''a large white light with several flashing lights around it'' which did notappear to be a normal aircraft.

A similar sighting was made by Constable R. Keys from a separate position. He was also of the opinion that it wasn't a normal aircraft.

Mr Priebe said both he and his wife saw a bright red glow gradually change to a white light which then startedto move slowly east. Through binoculars, ''the light was disc shaped with a very bright light around theperimeter of the disc with two flashing lights in the front and one to the side'', he said.

The only photographs in the X Files were of unusual lights over Bendigo, witnessed by hundreds in May 1983. An interim report by the RAAF stated that Mike Evans, a 17-year-old disc jockey with the Bendigoradio station 3BO, received calls from listeners, then saw the lights himself and took photos.

One anonymous caller to the RAAF said the lights were caused by a rock group experimenting with laserlighting. The report said they were probably caused by train headlights or lasers or from planets or stars.

There had been unusual weather atmospherics on the night.

Zoe D'Arcy, director of digital and online access at the National Archives, said: ' 'Where you and I mightthink UFO - a spaceship - the RAAF and other agencies were probably wondering if there was a security threat.

''Most of the files you read and you think that most probably was a meteorite, but there are ones that you readand you think - well, what could that have been?

''I can't explain that from my knowledge.

''So what was it that these people have experienced? It has that open-ended question to it that I find really

intriguing.'' -0-

UFO O VER O LYMPICS O PENING CEREMONY : A CLASSIC F LYING S AUCER .

T ALK ABOUT AN UNINVITED GUEST AT THE O LYMPICS .

Friday night's spectacular pyrotechnics display of the most watched opening ceremony in summer

Olympicshistory attractedmorethan theeyes of over 40

million people. A clearly seen unidentified flying object was videotaped making its way over London's Olympicstadium, reports Examiner.com.

The disc-shaped object is first seen entering the upper leftportion of the video as the fireworks erupt over the stadium. The UFO -- which appears to have a dome orbulge rising from its center -- moves slowly across the sky as if deliberately observing the light-show spectaclebelow it.

While NBC Olympics -- a division of NBC Sports -- has chosen Goodyear blimps for all of its 2012Olympics aerial coverage, the strange-looking object that appeared over the opening ceremonies doesn'tappear to be a blimp.So what was it?

On an evening that included an apparent Queen Elizabeth and 007 agent James Bond parachuting out of ahelicopter into the Olympics stadium, most people probably wouldn't have been surprised if a staged UFO was also on the entertainment menu, just two weeks after the U.K. released its most recent batch o f UFOdocuments.

Last month, former Ministry of Defense UFO desk officer Nick Pope suggested that a huge event like theLondon Olympic Games, could present itself as a prime target for otherworldly craft to show themselves to agigantic viewing audience.

"With the summer of mass events, we are all on high alert for terrorism. But we must also cast our eyesfurther afield and be prepared for even the most seemingly unfathomable," Pope said, according to PressTV.

Pope wrote earlier this year of a conspiracy theory rumor that suggested a fake alien attack would be staged atthe London Olympics.

"A combination of special effects and holographic technology will be used to create the illusion of an alieninvasion, the rumor claims," Pope wrote on TruTV.com.

"If aliens have studied our psychology, they may choose to appear in our skies on a significant date -- theclosing ceremony of the Olympic Games is one date being widely circulated by conspiracy groups," PressTV quoted Pope.

Maybe Friday night's UFO appearance was a dress rehearsal.

O LYMPICS UFO W AS D EFINITELY O UR BLIMP : GOODYEAR

Posted: 07/31/2012 12:19 pm Updated:07/31/2012 1:37 pm

When a strange, milky-white object glided over the Olympics opening ceremony and was caught on video,there was chatter that this was th e extraterrestrial visitation for which UFO researchers are constantly searching.

Now we know the truth behind the strange object spotted amid the pyrotechnics spectacle. It was Goodyear's"Spirit of Safety" blimp. And a spokesman for the company tells HuffPost why the aircraft appeared somysterious.

To put it simply, the Goodyear name wasn't on the airship, even though it was illuminated the entire time.

"I can definitely tell you we were up in the air for the entirety of the opening ceremonies. I can't speak to what else was in the air, but the blimp was certainly up there during the fireworks," said Goodyear U.S. publicrelations manager Doug Grassian.

"During the whole ceremony, we were providing the coverage for NBC, so we were up in the air the wholetime [with our ship] the Spirit of Safety," Grassian told The Huffington Post.

Three days prior to the start of the Olympics, the Associated Press reported that William Hill, a Londonbetting house, had offered 1,000-to-1 odds that a flying saucer would appear over Olympic Stadium during

the opening ceremony. So, people in the U.K. were already wondering -- and betting on -- if such an event would occur.

Alas, it was only Goodyear's Spirit of Safety that showed up in the restricted airspace above the stadium.

The word "Goodyear" -- which normally appears on the blimp -- was removed, adding to the confusion andmisidentification of the blimp as a UFO.

"Because we're not a sponsor of the Olympics, we had to take the Goodyear branding off of it," Grassianexplained. "That's why when you look at it, you probably just see blue and yellow with no words on it. It willremain that way until the Olympics are done."

This isn't the first time a Goodyear blimp has been mistaken for a UFO.

"It happens occasionally," Grassian said. "I've been in this job roughly two years, and I've seen a couple of incidents where people have called us to ask if the blimp was around because they thought there was a UFO[in the area]."

Those London betting offices probably didn't have to pay off any UFO wagers this time around.

come from this planet, it crashed and I don't doubt for a second that the use of the word 'remains' and'cadavers' was exactly what people were talking about."

Brandon served as an undercover, covert operations officer in the agency's Clandestine Service for 25 years, where he was assigned missions in international terrorism, counterinsurgency, global narcotics trafficking and weapons smuggling. He spent his final 10 years of CIA service on the director's staff as the agency's firstofficial liaison to the entertainment and publication industries. It was during this time, in the mid-1990s, thathe walked into a special section of CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., called the Historical IntelligenceCollection.

"It was a vaulted area and not everybody could get in it," Brandon told The Huffington Post. "One day, I waslooking around in there and reading some of the titles that were mostly hand-scribbled summations of what

was in the boxes. And there was one box that really caught my eye. It had one word on it: Roswell."I took the box down, lifted the lid up, rummaged around inside it, put the box back on the shelf and said,'My god, it really happened!'"

What exactly did the box contain that had such a powerful impact on Brandon? "Some written material andsome photographs, and that's all I will ever say to anybody about the contents of that box," he said. "But itabsolutely, for me, was the single validating moment that everything I had believed, and knew that so many other people believed had happened, truly was what occurred,"

None of this comes as a surprise to Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear-physicist-turned-UFOlogist, who was theoriginal civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident.

In the late 1970s, Friedman began to uncover formermilitary eyewitnesses who had been involved with theoriginal events that took place at Roswell in 1947.Despite the fact that the military changed its story overnight, saying on July 8, 1947 that a flying disk had beencaptured but claiming on July 9 that a weather balloon hadbeen recovered, Friedman's early investigative effortsprompted many Roswell witnesses to come forward andtell their stories. Numerous researchers have dug up morefacts in the years since."It's been 65 years since things took place at Roswell,"Friedman told HuffPost. "How much more widely knowncould it be -- everywhere I've spoken in the world, they ask

about Roswell.""What we really need now is the Woodward-Bernstein of the UFO world to bring out the disclosure," saidFriedman. "Maybe Chase Brandon is a foresight of something going on."It's time for the retirement of the mythical part -- where we don't have all the pieces -- to be replaced by thetrue story of what happened, all the details, and we certainly don't have them."Brandon is currently promoting his book, "The Cryptos Conundrum, " a science fiction story about thehistory of Earth, contact with extraterrestrials and imagined cataclysmic events on our planet.He remains steadfast about the pieces of the Roswell puzzle he's willing to share, and he emphasizes there'sno internal CIA policy that prevents him from revealing any details of what he saw in that box at the agency headquarters."Nobody tells any of us that we can't say anything about sources, methods, classified information having todo with working for the Central Intelligence Agency," Brandon said. "We all sign a secrecy agreement that

says we understand we are forbidden to do that by law, and that is an inherent part of keeping andsafeguarding what we do, how we do it, why we do it, out of national security concerns.

"I'm not reluctant to talk about it -- I won't talk about it. I'm telling you there was a box that had stuff inthere having to do with Roswell, and I looked through it, and it validated everything I believed in, and that's

R EVELATIONS : CIA OFFICIAL OFFERS N EW PROOF IN R OSWELL UFO C ASE

Excerpted from Wikipedia On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field public information officer Walter Haut in Roswell, New

Mexico, issued a press release stating that personnel from the fields 509th Bomb Group hadrecovered a crashed flying disk from a ranch near Roswell, sparking intense media interest.

The story as first reported by the press The following day, the press reported that Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force Roger M.

Ramey stated that, in fact, a radar-tracking balloon had been recovered by the RAAF personnel, not aflying disc. A subsequent press conference was called, featuring debris said to be from the crashed

object, which seemed to confirmthe weather balloon description.

Subsequent evidence shownas disclaimer to the originalreports

There have beennumerous reports and hoaxessurrounding new evidence andold in the decades that followed.Now a CIA official has comeforward to claim his owndiscovery of evidence, in

government possession, of thetruth behind the incident, and itis that we have been visited.

Senior CIA Officer ClaimsKnowledge of Roswell-AlienCover-up By Robbie Graham and

Matthew Alford, PhD On 23 June, 2012, in an interview for the popular American radio show, Coast to Coast AM, the

CIAs former liaison to the entertainment industry, Charles Chase Brandon made extraordinary claims about the so-called Roswell incident, in which the US military is widely believed to haveretrieved extraterrestrial materials and bodies after a mysterious object crashed in the deserts of New Mexico.

Brandon declared:I also absolutely know as I sit here talking to you that there was a craft from beyond this world that crashed at Roswell, that the military picked up remains of not just the wreckage, but cadavers.

Most explosively, Brandon recounted an occasion when he saw direct proof of the alien nature of Roswell while conducting research at the CIAs Historical Intell igence Collection (HIC) as part of his

role as CIA Entertainment Liaison Officer (ELO). Brandon claimed he had the rare opportunity tolook inside a box labelled Roswell containing materials papers [and] other items but stressedthat he cannot, will not, under any imaginable set of circumstances tell you what I saw in therespecifically, with the implication being that to reveal more specific details would be a breach of national security.

Based on what he claims to have seen in the box, Brandon sta ted unequivocally: 100 per cent,guaranteed Roswell happened. There was a craft, absolutely cadavers, but added, Beyond that, I

have no idea where anything else went. The Roswell Incident first came to public attention 65 years ago on 8 July, 1947, when the Roswell Army Air Force (RAAF) hastily announced to the press its capture of a downed flying saucer onan isolated ranch. A few hours later, the RAAF changed its story to the effect that what had beenrecovered, in fact, was a common weather balloon. The United States Air Force (USAF) was tochange this story again in 1995 with the announcement that the weather balloon had been a TopSecret high-altitude spy balloon. This story was then officially re-written in 1997 to account forseveral apparently non-human bodies multiple eyewitnesses claimed were recovered from the crash.

The bodies, the USAF equivocated, were human corpses, test dummies, or both. Judging from online chatter, the UFO community is wondering if Brandons Roswell comments may

herald the much anticipated Disclosure of alien reality. Brandons book passed through the Agencys

Publications Review Board (PRB), and his radio interview should, as standard procedure, have alsobeen subject to prior approval by the PRB. If Brandons comments were subject to official approval,and if he was speaking the truth, then this might indicate that the CIA is using him to work what the

Agency calls a limited hangout, whereby previously hidden information is released to the public inorder to prevent a greater exposure of more damaging details.

In this context, it is noteworthy that Brandon carefully absolved the CIA of any on-going complicity in an active cover-up of the Roswell incident. Brandon implied that all that now keeps thisinformatio n from the public is 65 years worth of storage dust and the patchy institutional memory of the powers that be. As Brandon tells it, the Roswell incident is as dead as the alien cadavers he claimsmust be stored somewhere. Yes, Roswell was real and extra terrestrial, says Brandon, and yes, theevidence was put in cold storage, but todays Agency should not be held accountable for the actions

of a handful of panicked and perplexed Cold War-era agents who shuffled off their mortal coilsdecades ago and who took what little knowledge they had to their graves. And those Agency employees who do occasionally stumble across Roswell evidence today have no real understanding of

what theyre looking at or what to do with it. In terms of a revelation about the exist ence of aliens,Brandons rendering is about as depoliticized as it gets.

Shades of Raiders of the Lost Ark Batman! Could it be possible that the simple ponderous natureof bureaucracy is a far more effective means of cover up than the best laid plans of mice and men,

awaiting only accident and coincidence to reveal the truth?

Victor Marchetti, former special assistant to Deputy CIA Director RichardHelms, once said that the government uses limited hangouts when their

veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony coverstory to misinform the public. In such instances, said Marchetti, theyresort to admitting sometimes even volunteering some of the truthwhile still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case.The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that itnever thinks to pu rsue the matter further.

Fittingly, in 1979, Marchetti himself raised eyebrows with his ownpublic statements on the UFO issue. In an article for Second Look magazine,Marchetti wrote: I do know that the CIA and the US government have been

concerned over the UFO phenomenon for many years and that their attempts, both past and recent,to discount the significance of the phenomenon and to explain away the apparent lack of official

interest in it have all the earmarks of a classic intelligence cover-up. He added, My theory is that wehave, indeed, been contacted perhaps even visited by extraterrestrial beings, and that the U.S.Government, in collusion with other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep thisinformation from the general public . However, Marchetti was merely voicing an opinion and doesnot claim to have seen proof of extraterrestrial contact with his own eyes, as Brandon does.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yLsw66_lTrs What happens now? Anyone interested in hearing UFO testimony from government officials, or

agents are familiar with the statement that usually goes like this: I can neither confirm nor denyStories of this nature come out, and as Mr Marchetti states above, the public is so fascinated by thebig talking head in front of them the forget to look behind the curtain.

A former high- level Reagan Administration official told us that if extraterrestrial material was in thepossession of the US government, it would of course be classified, while another highly-respected ex-

CIA Special Operations officer stressed to us that All [CIA] employees sign a Secrecy Agreement. Violation of that agreement can bring severe repercussions. When we made doubly clear to this CIA veteran that our enquiry related specifically to the UFO issue, he restated his position word-for-word, with the addendum Have a nice day. In theory, the penalties include life in jail or even a deathsentence.

As yet, however, Brandon has fallen artfully through the cracks in the national security system. Eventhough in practice the government is clearly sensitive about the UFO phenomenon (with reams of declassified documentation from every branch of the government revealing high-level concern aboutUFO incidents worldwide into the post-Cold War era), it has maintained since the closure of theUSAFs Project Blue Book in 1969 that UFOs are definitely not a national security concern.Furthermore, the very concept of national security is more slippery than is often suggested by the

image of square-jawed, be-suited men with guns. Former Chairman of the PRB, John HollisterHedley, commented recently that even the CIAs own definition of national security was not hardand fast or absolute or constant. Consequently, whether there is any truth to Brandons statementsor not, Washington would be hard-pressed to prosecute, even if it had the will to do so.

E XTRATERRESTRIAL UFO A RE R EAL : BEN R ICH LOCKHEEDSKUNK WORKS CEO A DMITTED IN H IS D EATHBED CONFESSION .

Ben Rich Lockheed Skunk Works CEO had admittedin his Deathbed Confession that Extraterrestrial UFO

visitors are real and the U.S. Military travel among stars.

According to article published in May 2010 issue of theMufon UFO Journal - Ben Rich, the Father of the St ealth Fighter-Bomber and former head of Lockheed Skunk Works, had once let out information about Extraterrestrial UFO Visitors Are Real And U.S.Military Travel To Stars.

What he said might be new to many people today, but he revealed the information before his death in January 1995.His statements helped to give credence to reports that the U.S. military has been flying vehicles thatmimic alien craft. The article was written by Tom Keller, an aerospace engineer who has worked as acomputer systems analyst for NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

1: Inside the Skunk Works (Lockheeds secret research and development entity), we were a small, intensely cohesive group consisting of about fifty veteran engineers and designers and a hundred or so expertmachinists and shop workers. Our forte was building technologically advanced airplanes of small number andof high class for highly secret missions.

2: We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you canimagine, we already know how to do.

3 : We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it wont take someones lifetime to do it. There is anerror in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars. First, you haveto understand that we will not get to the stars using chemical propulsion. Second, we have to devise a new propulsion technology. What we have to do is find o ut where Einstein went wrong.

4 : When Rich was asked how UFO propulsion worked, he said, Let me ask you. How does ESP work? The questioner responded with, All points in time and space are connected? Rich then said, Thats how it works!

Ben Rich Lockheed Former CEO knew of extraterrestrial UFO visitorsLockheed Skunk Works former CEO knew the Roswell extraterrestrial UFO influenced designs of Testor

model kits for Roswell UFO models, and U.S. top secret aircraft. According to a CNI News report by Colorado resident Michael Lindemann, the design information was derived from forensic illustrations andnumerous witness testimonies about the Roswell UFO, provided by William L. Bill McDonald. In an e-mail, dated July 29, 1999, apparently addressed to Lindemann, McDonald referenced an excerpt of adiscussion with Harold Puthoff, founder of the highly classified U.S. remote viewing program.

McDonald said: Well Hal, you asked for it! Now that legendary Lockheed engineer and chief model kitdesigner for the Testor Corporation, John Andrews, is dead, I can announce that he personally confirmed thedesign connection between the Roswell Spacecraft and the Lockheed Martin Unmanned Combat Air

Vehicles (UCAVs), spy planes, Joint Strike Fighters, and Space Shuttles.

Andrews was a close personal friend of Skunk Works CEO Ben Rich the hand-picked successor of Skunk Works founder Kelly Johnson and the man famous for the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth fighter, itshalf -pint prototype the HAVE BLUE, and the top-secret F-19 Stealth Interceptor. Before Rich died of cancer, Andrews took my questions to him.

Dr. Ben R. Rich former Lockheed Skunk Works CEO confirmed:1. There are 2 types of UFOs the ones we build and ones they build. We learned from both crash retrievals and actual hand-me-downs. The Government knew and until 1969 took an active hand in theadministration of that information. After a 1969 Nixon purge, administration was handled by an international board of directors in the private sector

2. Nearly all biomorphic aerospace designs were inspired by the Roswell spacecraft from Kellys SR -71Blackbird onward to todays drones, UCAVs, and aerospace craft

3. It was Ben Richs opinion that the public should not be told [about UFOs and extraterrestrials]. Hebelieved they could not handle the truth ever. Only in the last months of his decline did he begin to feelthat the international corporate board of directors dealing with the Subject could represent a biggerproblem to citizens personal freedoms under the United States Constitution than the presence of off-world

visitors themselves.

Lindemann added that Bill McDonald received the above information from Andrews from 1994 until theirlast phone call near Christmas in 1998. Lindemann also noted It should also be known that Dr. Ben R.Rich attended a public aerospace designers and engineers conference in 1993 before his illness overwhelmedhim in which he stated in the presence of MUFON Orange County Section Director Jan Harzan andmany others that We (i.e., the U.S. aerospace community/military industrial complex) had in itspossession the technology to take us to the stars.

deny secrets discovered by UK hacker Gary McKinnon and many astronauts if it expects full funding fromthe Obama White House administration.

Lockheed Skunk works Engineer USAF, and CIA Contractor Admitted : UFO Are RealDon Phillips, These UFOs were huge and they would just come to a stop and do a 60 degree, 45 degree,10degree turn, and then immediately reverse this action. During the Apollo landing, Neil Armstrong says,Theyre here. They are right over there and looking at the size of those ships, it is obvious they don t like us

being here. When I was working with the Skunk works with Kelly Johnson, we signed an agreement with thegovernment to keep very quiet about this. Anti-gravitational research was going on. We know that there weresome captured craft from 1947 in Roswell, they were real. And, yes, we really did get some technology fromthem. And, yes, we really did put it to work. We knew each other from what we call an unseen industry. Wecan term it black, deep black, or hidden.

The knowledge I have of these technologies came from the craft that were captured here. I didn`t see thecraft, nor did I see the bodies, but I certainly know some of the people that did. There was no question thatthere were beings from outside the planet.

Are these ET people hostile? Well, if they were hostile, with their weaponry they could have destroyed us along time ago. We got these things that are handhold scanners that scan the body and determine what the

condition is. We can also treat from the same scanner.I can tell you personally that weve been working on them. And we have ones that can diagnose and curecancer. One of the purposes I had for founding my technology corporation in 1998 was to bring forth thesetechnologies that can clean the air and can help get rid of the toxins, and help reduce the need for so muchfossil fuel. Yes, it is time. I can tell you personally that it has already started.

Wikipedia says:

Benjamin Robert Rich (June 18, 1925 January 5,1995) was the second director of Lockheeds Skunk Worksfrom 1975 to 1991, succeeding its founder, Kelly Johnson. Regarded as the father of stealth,[1] Ben Rich

was responsible for leading the development of the F-117, the first production stealth aircraft. He also worked on the F-104, U-2, SR-71, A-12, and F-22 among others, many of which are still classified.
