With a few exceptions, this gallery is heavily-“weighted” with photos taken from DECADES ago

when digital effects did not exist and it was much more difficult to “fake” photos.  Plus seeing

actual pictures of the famous individuals that contributed to these legends adds an intangible

‘something’ to their statements (e.g., “they don’t look like kooks to me!”).

1.  the "Sport Model" disc that Bob

   Lazar claimed to have worked-on

   and John Andrews designed a

   plastic model kit for the Testor

   Model Company based on

   in-depth interviews with Lazar.

2.  A Map of Groom Lake and Area-51    ( from "Area 51 - the Dreamland  Chronicles" by Darlington)

 3.  ( from "The UFO

                  Cover-Up"

    { formerly published as 

                        "Clear Intent" }  

  by Fawcett & Greenwood ) 

4.  Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, 

    developer of the U-2 & SR-71

    spy-planes from Lockheed's

    fabled 'Skunk Works'

5.  the man who told the public about Area-51

    and put Rachel, Nevada on-the-map in 1989 ,

    and who claimed to have briefly worked on a

    government program to back-engineer crashed

    alien discs using only native-earth materials --

                       Bob  Lazar   !

6.  a letter from

     Senator Robert F. Kennedy,

     brother of President John F.

    Kennedy

    (perhaps proving that being

         an elected government

        official doesn't necessarily

    authorized you to UFO secrets)

7.  Kenneth Arnold, whose original

    UFO sighting  resulted in the

    modern coining of the phrase

    "Flying Saucer", shaking hands

    with, and receiving the

    congratulations and support of,

    former President Dwight D.

    Eisenhower, on winning the

    Republican nomination for 

    lieutenant governor of Idaho

    in 1962.

        On June 30, 1947 Arnold saw a formation of 9 bright objects moving roughly south from

   Mount Baker towards Mount Ranier.  At first Arnold assumed they were jets, but he could see

   no tails.  When they passed over Ranier's peak, he began to calculate their speed at 1,7000 mph

   -- the present world speed record was only 624 mph.   All-the-while the objects were swerving

   in-and-out of the smaller peaks, flipping from side-to-side in unison, dipping, and presenting

   their lateral surfaces.

 8.  retired Marine Major Donald E. Keyhoe, whose early

      works produced many books and a Hollywood movie.

      He was a graduate of the US Naval Academy and a

      former Marine Corps pilot who went on to become the

      Director of the widely-respected (but now defunct)

      NICAP.  

      On January 22, 1958 Keyhoe appeared on a popular

      CBS television show to discuss the UFO topic.  Several

      Air Force spokesmen were invited onto the same show,

      but insisted beforehand they be given a transcript of

      Keyhoe's script before agreeing to participate.  Keyhoe

      received his script back from CBS with many parts

      edited-out on the grounds that it was "too long".  When

      Keyhoe ignored the teleprompter and said "and now I'm

      going to reveal something that has never been disclosed

      before ... for the last 6 months we have been working with

      a Congressional Committee investigating secrecy about UFOs ...", CBS abruptly hit a switch

      and the program continued in vision only.  Here he is reacting to that unplanned "silencing".

      Skeptics have often called attention to the fact that Keyhoe always seemed to get confidential

      stories on UFOs that other investigators could not, implying that he was being "used" by the

      'secret group' as an unwitting pawn.  Proponents suggest he was being used to slowly

      acclimate the populace to the possibility of UFOs.  Detractors say he was being used to

      propagate dis- and mis-information.

 9.  First of 3 photographs of an

      alleged UFO, reportedly sighted

      on the afternoon of August 3, 1964

      above a road near Santa Ana,

      California, by Orange County

      highway inspector Rex Heflin.

      ( it resembled the "Top Hat" disc

        that Lazar said he saw in

        another hanger at S-4 )

10.  As part of its contribution to the 1957-58 International

       Geophysical Year, the Brazilian navy set up a weather

       station on the small rocky island of Trindade in the south

       Atlantic Ocean.  In January 1958, observers began

       spotting unusual aerial activity, including fast-flying disks.

       On the night of Jan. 16, the disk shown here appeared within

       view of the ship's company.  Among those present was

       photographer Almiro Baranuna, who snapped a series of 6

       photos.  After the ship returned to port, the photos -- which

       had been developed on-board in a makeshift darkroom --

       were turned over to the Brazilian Navy Ministry.  Analysts

       determined the photos to be authentic and concluded they

       showed a 30-ft-diameter object moving at 600 mph.

11.  General George Marshall, US Army Chief of Staff in

       World War II and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

       (1947-49).  In 1951 General Marshall informed Dr. Rolf

       Alexander that the U.S. authorities had established

       contact with UFOs, and that some of the craft and

       occupants had actually been retrieved.

12.  "What does all this stuff about

       flying saucers amount to?  What

      can it mean?  What is the truth?

     Let me have a report at your

     convenience." 

     Prime Minister Winston Churchill

     in a minute to the Secretary of

     State for Air, Lord Cherwell, 

     28 July 1952.

    2 weeks the Air Ministry replied

    with deliberate mis-information.

    This is evident from the secret

    memo 2 months later from 

    Cherwell to General Walter Smith.

13.  (left) "...more than 10,000 sightings

       have been reported, the majority of

       which cannot be accounted for by any

       'scientific' explanation ... I am

      convinced that these objects do exist

      and that they are not manufactured by

      any nation on earth ..."

      Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding,

      Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter

      Command during the Battle of Britain,

      11 July 1954.

      (right)  Ralph Noyes, former head of

       Defence Secretariat 8, a division in the central staffs of the Ministry of Defence which

       dealt with UFO reports from members of the public.  While with DS8, Noyes was shown

       gun-camera film clips of UFOs taken by RAF pilots.  He was the first individual from

       the MoD who felt quite relaxed to talk openly about his handling of UFO reports and

       up to his death on 23 May 1998 remained convinced that a cover-up of some magnitude

       did take place over the Rendlesham Forest / Bentwaters  incident.

14.  On October 21, 1978 Australian pilot Frederick

       Valentich took to the skies in his Cessna 182 light

       aircraft from Moorabbin Airport, Victoria bound for

       King Island, Tasmania.  At 7:06pm he contacted

       Melbourne Flight Service Unit about an object closing

       on his plane.  At 7:10pm his last transmission was

       "It seems like it's stationary ... what I'm doing now is

       orbiting and the thing is just orbiting on top of me

       also ... it's got a green light and sort of metallic ...

       it's all shiny ... the outside ... it just vanished ...

       ...  ...  [My] engine is rough-idling and coughing ...

       proceeding to King Island ...  That strange aircraft

      is hovering on top of me again ...... it is hovering and

      it is not an aircraft ..................................."

      Despite an intense air, land and sea search of the

      area, neither pilot or aircraft have been heard of

      since.  Guido Valentich surmised that his son may

      have inadvertently witnessed something so top-secret that

      he had to be "eliminated".

15. "Unidentified flying objects are a very serious subject

        which we must study fully.  We appeal to all viewers

        to send us details of strange flying craft seen over the

        territories of the Soviet Union.  This is a serious

        challenge to science and we need the help of all

        Soviet citizens ..."

       Professor Feliz Zigel of the Moscol Aviation Institute,

       Moscow Central Television, 11/10/67 .

16. (left) Dr. Vannevar Bush, who

       headed the Research and

      Development Board after the war,

      was mentioned by Canadian radio

      engineer Wilbert Smith in 1950 as

      being the head of a small group

      investigating UFOs.  That group

      was Majestic-12, secretly

      established in 1947.

     (right) General Nathan Twining, 

     who as Commanding General of Air

     Material Command in 1947 signed

     a document testifying to the reality

     of UFOs.  General Twining was also

     a member of Majestic-12.  "The

     phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious ... There are objects

    approximating the shape of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear as large as man-made

    aircraft ... it is the considered opinion of some elements that the objects may in fact represent

    interplanetary craft"

17. President Truman (right) awarding

      the Distinguished Service Medal to

      Defense Secretary James Forrestal

      in March 1949.  Two months later

      Forrestal reportedly committed

      suicide  (although rumors persist

      that he was murdered by government

      officials who wanted to prevent his

      plans to go public with UFO

      information).  He was another

      member of the Majestic-12 group

      established by Truman himself.

18. (left) General Hoyt Vandenberg,

      Director of Central Intelligence

      (1946-47), and another Majestic-12

      member.  In 1948, as US Air Force

     Chief of Staff, he ordered a Top-

     Secret "Estimate of the Situation"

     by Air Technical Intelligence Center

     -- which suggested that UFOs were

     interplanetary -- to be destroyed.

     (right) "It is time for the truth to be

     brought out ... Behind the scenes

     high-ranking Air Force officials are soberly concerned about the UFOs.  But through

     official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects

     are nonsense ..."

    (right) Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Director of the CIA (1947-50), and a member of

     Majestic-12, in a letter to Congress, 1960.  "Two dangers are steadily overflowing:

     (1) The risk of accidental war from mistaking UFO formations for a surprise Soviet

     attack.  (2) The danger that the Soviet Government may, in a critical moment, falsely

     claim the UFOs as secret weapons against which our defenses are helpless."

19. (left) "The Central Intelligence

     Agency has reviewed the current

     situation ... Since 1947, approxi-

     mately 2,000 official reports of

     sightings have been received and,

     of these, 20% are as yet un-

    explained.  It is my view that the

    situation has possible implications

     for our national security which

    transcend the interests of a single

    service ..." General Walter Bendell

    Smith, Director of the CIA (1950-53),

    in a 1952 memorandum to the National Security Council.

    (right) "...The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government,

    rating higher even than the H-bomb.  Flying saucers exist.  Their modus operandi is

    unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar

    Bush ..."  

    Wilbert Smith, in a Top-Secret Canadian Government memorandum November 21, 1950.

20.  A UFO photographed by a

      US Marine Air Group pilot over

      the North-East China Sea during

      the Korean War.  The object came

      relatively close to the aircraft, 

      then flew off at over 1,000 mph,

       increased acceleration and

      disappeared.

21. (left) X-15 pilot Joe Walker after

      attaining a new speed record of

      3,370 mph in the rocket-powered

      plane on May 25, 1961.  A year

      later Walker admitted that it was

      one of his tasks to look for UFOs

      during his flights in the X-15, and

      he filmed some objects during

      another record-breaking flight in

      April 1962.

      (right) "... several days in a row

      we sighted groups of metallic,

      saucer-shaped vehicles at great

      altitudes over the base [Germany,

     1951] and we tried to get close to them; but they were able to change direction faster than our

     fighters. I do believe UFOs exist and that the truly unexplained ones are from some other

     technically advanced civilization."  Gordon Cooper, former USAF pilot and NASA astronaut,

     United Nations UFO Debate,  November 27, 1978.

22. (left) "... In the firm belief that

      the American public deserves a

      better explanation than thus far

      given by the Air Force, I strongly

      recommend that there be a

      committee investigation of the 

     UFO phenomena.  I think we owe

      it to the people to establish

      credibility regarding UFOs and to

      produce the greatest possible

      enlightenment on this subject." 

     Former President Gerald Ford, in

     a letter he sent as a Congressmen

     to L. Mendel Rivers.

     (right) "If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about

     UFO sightings available to the public, and the scientists.  I am convinced that UFOs exist

     because I have seen one ..."  Former President Jimmy Carter during his election campaign

     in May 1976.   Unlike Carter however, when Gerald Ford became President, his previous

     stated interest in  UFOs was never repeated while in office.

            and Victor Fediay (foremost right) at the general's new offices in Pittsburgh, where he was

            president of Gulf Oil Research.  Corso gave Fediay, an advisor to the staff of the Senate

            Foreign Relations Committee, a list of questions about UFOs to ask the Soviets in

            Moscow.   Fediay said that the KGB general he spoke to saw the list and asked him,

            "Are you trying to get me killed?!"  Corso claimed that companies such as IBM, Bell labs,

             Dow, and Hughes acquired an developed technology from recovered alien craft from

             Roswell and elsewhere.

24. Asked to pick the most credible UFO photos ever taken,

      ufologists select the simple black-and-white snapshots

      taken by Paul Trent, a farmer in McMinnville, Oregon,

      on May 11, 1950.  In 1957 the journal "RAF Flying

      Review" described them as "one of the few photographs

      which seem authentic", while the USAF's 'Project Blue

      Book' team was said to be similarly "impressed".

      Mrs. Trent saw the craft first.  It floated noiselessly

      toward her from the northeastern sky, creating a wake that

      rustled her dress.  The Trents described a "very bright"

      object that took on the appearance of a disc which

      suddenly banked to reveal a strange offset tower perched

      on its shallow dome.  Modern computer analysis has shown

      no evidence to indicate that the photographs were fake.

      Estimates of its diameter have placed it as large as 80 feet.

25. Up late studying for exams, 16-year-old

      Jamshid Saiadipour photographed this

      UFO from the window of his family's

      apartment in Sheraz, Iran in June, 1978.  It

      resembled a UFO reported by pilots during

      their landing approach to the Tehran airport

      earlier in the year.  On Oct. 8, 1978 a similar

      craft was photographed by another student,

      Ranklin Youri, from outside his home near

      Lake Urmia in western Iran.  This picture

      was not revealed, however, until the Youri

      family relocated to the United States 3 years

      later.  A Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit ultimately led to the release of

      Defense Department documents that revealed the American military's interest in these

      sightings.  Ufologists claim that Iranian airspace had been a hotbed of UFO activity for many

      years.  They say a pivotal moment occurred on Sept. 18, 1978 with an encounter between two

      Iranian F-4 Phantom jets and an object that failed to appear on radar.  When the fighters got

      close enough to release their Sidewinder AIM-9 missiles, both planes' weapons-firing control 

      systems mysteriously and repeatedly failed.

26. In Zanesville, Ohio on Nov. 13, 1966, local barber and amateur astronomer Ralph Ditter took

      these two spectacular UFO photos.  Beyond their detail the importance of the photos lies in

      their similarity to the craft reported during a series of sightings that occurred throughout the

      year.  At least two of these sightings were made by law enforcement officials.  On March 25 in

      Toledo, Lucas County deputies Robert Schulz and Stanley Nelepa reported seeing a huge

      object floating at treetop level.  Four days later a glowing orange object was seen floating over

      the Ohio Turnpike administration building in Berea.  3 days later it was spotted again by

      Berea patrolmen Clarence Janowick and John Galik Jr.

27. At about 10:30 pm on March 21, 1966 in Hillsdale,

      Michigan, a resident of the women's dormitory at

      Hillsdale College reported a strange object in the sky.

      County Civil Defense director William E. Van Horn

      responded and confirmed that a bright glowing object

      was indeed bouncing across a nearby hollow and then

      became airborne.  J. Allen Hynek was a scientific

      consultant to the Air Force Project Blue Book and a

      UFO-skeptic at that time.  Hynek, who died in 1986, 

      dismissed the Hillsdale sighting as "swamp gas".

      Within 2 weeks, however, he changed not only his

      opinion about the sighting, but also sides in the great

      UFO debate.  Perhaps it was the comments of Van

      Horn's report that sparked his "conversion".  Soil

      analysis showed that on the very spot where the

      "swamp gas" had touched down, radiation levels were

      higher than in the surrounding terrain.  More significant

      still was the finding that the ground was also contami-

      nated with Boron, the element used to slow nuclear chain reactions.

28. An incident that has come to be known as

      "England's Roswell" occurred on Dec. 27,

      1980 near a now-closed US-British Air Force

      base in Bentwaters.  For 2 nights security

      patrols observed unusual lights in the

      Rendlesham Forest just beyond the base's

      fence.  On the second night they entered the

      forest with generator-powered floodlights,

      Geiger counters, and 2-way radios.  At the

      critical moment when an angular, approx. 20x30

      foot tall craft appeared, the radiation-detecting

      instruments started to clatter and the spotlights

      and radios began to sporadically fail.  Daylight revealed broken tree limbs and three

      1-1/4-inch deep, 7-in-diameter circular depressions, suggesting something had landed,

      just as the observers claimed.  A scientific report uncovered in the MoD files revealed

      radiation levels 25 times higher than normal background levels in the soil and trees

      surrounding the landing site.

29. The apparent surge in reports of triangular-shaped

      UFOs is often traced back to a wave of such

      sightings which occurred over Belgium during 1988-91

      and led Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer, Chief of Opera-

      tions for the Belgian Air Force, to declare that they

      and the Belgian Ministry of Defense were treating

      the reports with "utmost seriousness".  On the

      night of March 30-31, 1990, two F-16 Belgian Air

      Force jets tried unsuccessfully to intercept and

      identify one of the mysterious intruders.  Radar

      tapes of the encounter were released to the media,

      and this showed an object descending from 5,000

      feet to less than 500 feet in less than 5 seconds!  No

      conventional (or unconventional stealth-type) manned

      or unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of such a feat

      even today.  DeBrouwer said "The day will come

      undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be

      observed with technological means of detection and

      collection that won't leave a single doubt about its origin ... "

30. One of the most famous alien abduction

      incidents occurred on the night of Sept. 19,

      1961 with Betty and Barney Hill.  The couple

      were traveling to their Portsmouth, New

      Hampshire home on Highway 3 in the White

      Mountains when Betty noticed an object

      moving "erratically" displaying multi-

      colored points of light.  Upon stopping to

      investigate, they felt a strange "tingling"

      sensation that made them drowsy.  Eventually

      the couple discovered they had traveled a

      distance of some 35 miles, but had no recollec-

      tion of the journey.  It wasn't until 2 years later, and after experiencing recurring dreams

      about the incident, that Dr. Benjamin Simon -- a leading Boston psychiatrist -- organized

      several independent hypnotic regressions for the couple in an attempt to overcome their

      'missing time' lapse.  Both spoke of being led into the craft by humanoid figures, who had

      large eyes and communicated through telepathic means.  Both spoke of being medically

      examined.  In a later regression, Betty drew a star constellation shown by her captors

      which appeared on a holographic-type material and depicted their home planet and trade

      routes.  Some years later, Oak Ridge employee and amateur astronomer Majorie Fish

      reconstructed a 3-dimensional star model of Zeta Reticuli which closely resembled the

      chart drawn by Betty.  Astronomy magazine published it (1976) and to-date has been the

      most widely-read and debated article in that publication.  The editor Terrence Dickinson

      said its greatest strengths lie in the revelation of stars that were not known to exist at

      that time until several years later.

31. On July 3, 1947 William "Mac" Brazel, forman of the Foster

      Ranch outside Roswell, New Mexico, stumbled across curious

      wreckage and shiny material spread out over the terrain.  3

      days later he showed up with pieces of the wreckage at the

      office of Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox, who imme-

      diately contacted the Roswell Army Air Field, home to the

      509th -- the only atomic bomb squadron in the world -- and

      spoke with their intelligence officer, Major Jesse Marcel.

      Years later, Marcel would admit on tape that the material he

      and others handled was like nothing they had seen before.

      2 days later, press information officer Lt. Walter Haut

      released a story that would reverberate around the world,

      and the birth of a legend was born.  "RAAF Captures Flying

      Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region" read headlines.

      Although immediately retracted after hasty meetings

      between senior USAAF officials, their explanation that the

      remains of the 'Flying Saucer' were nothing more than a weather

      balloon has stirred controversy ever since.  In the mid-90's the

      Air Force updated this story to say it was a "top-secret spy balloon" to monitor suspected

      Soviet nuclear tests (which didn't take place until 1949).  Then in 2000 "conveniently"

      unclassified documents showed plans to retrieve an escape module using heavy-lift

      balloons from a manned orbiting craft designed to dispense atomic weapons (remember

      that Sputnik hadn't even been launched in 1947).  What the Air Force and Army can't 

      explain is why the General Accounting Office of Congress failed to locate any records of

      that base from 1945-1949, a violation of federal and military law.

32. On Jan. 7, 1948, U.S. Captain Thomas Mantell was supervising a

      flight of four P-51 aircraft when he was ordered to try and identify a

      UFO seen by air traffic control tower operators over Godman field,

      Kentucky.  Mantell climbed to an height of 15,000 feet and shortly

      after reported sighting the object.  Radio contact was lost and his

      aircraft crashed some 150 miles away.  Skeptics and debunkers 

      suggest that despite being a seasoned pilot, Mantell's enthusiasm

      got the better of him and he mistaken the planet Venus for the UFO

      and pursued it to a height where oxygen deprivation overcame him.

      They can't answer his repeated reports that the "planet" was

      moving away from his best efforts to overtake it.  They also can't

      answer what investigators found at the crash scene.  They were

      amazed to find Mantell's aircraft practically intact in a narrow 

      clearing surrounded by trees.  "It was though the aircraft had been

      hoisted up and then dropped vertically from less than 100 feet", recalls USAF (ret.)

      Major James Dressler.   But even more curious was a total absence of blood in what

      remained of Mantell's cockpit, while the airman's body itself had been reduced to a

      pulp -- not a single bone had been left intact.

33. (left)  In November 1992, it was reported that during his first presidential election campaign,

      a campaign-committee member asked George Bush about UFO secrecy, to which Bush

      allegedly replied: "You don't know the half of it."  Interestingly, Bush was Director of the

      CIA between 01/30/76 and 01/20/77 and would have been privy to the truth about UFOs.  It

      then emerged that while Governor of California in 1974, Ronald Reagan and several others

      aboard a Cessna Citation aircraft observed a UFO near Bakersfield, according to its pilot

      Bill Paynter.  Reagan himself described the incident to Norman Miller, Washington bureau

      chief of the Wall Street Journal.  "We followed it for several minutes.  All of a sudden -- to

      our utter amazement -- it went straight up into the heavens.  When I got off the plane I told

      Nancy all about it ... And we read up on the long history of UFOs."  In the summer of 1982,

      during a private showing at the White House of the hit movie 'E.T.', Reagan is alleged to

      have leaned over to its director, Steven Spielberg, and whispered: "There are probably only

      6 people in this room who know how true this is."

     (right)  Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan are no

      strangers when it comes to passing comment on UFOs.  Both met in November 1985 at the 

      World Summit conference in Geneva.  It was here that President Reagan told Gorbachev in

       front of the world's press: "How much easier his task and mine might be in these meetings

       that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another species from another

       planet outside in the Universe.  We'd forget all the little local differences that we have 

      between our countries, and would find out once and for all that we really are all human

      beings here on this Earth together."  Reagan repeated these comments in a well-publicized

      speech at the United Nations while addressing the 42nd General Assembly on Sept. 21, 1987,

      and added "... And yet, I ask, is not an alien force already among us?"

34. Almost as legendary as Roswell among conspiracy buffs are the

      so-called Dulce Wars, referring to the allegation that Phil

      Schneider (and others) made that they came upon a subterranean

      alien enclave in 1979 near Dulce, New Mexico while drilling

      through rock and soil.  (Whether this was done accidentally or

      on-purpose is another topic.)   A huge underground complex at

      Dulce was rumored to have been created as part of a treaty the

      U.S. government had with an alien species.  In exchange for the

      government participating in advanced technology experiments,

      the aliens were permitted to carry out limited examinations of

      human beings.  In 1979 a group of government scientists and

      workers within the lower levels of the complex managed to

      penetrate into the bottommost level, and were horrified when they

     suddenly came across chambers filled with the remains of human

     mutilation victims.  Some may have been America's missing children.

     But the workers themselves were taken captive.  When MJ-12 and other deep-level

     agencies learned of the hostage situation, they decided to send in special forces units

     (Delta Forces and Blue Berets, based in Ft. Collins, Colorado -- N.R.O. headquarters),

     in an attempt to seize the base and set free the people who had been captured.  When 

     the blood-bath was over, 66 of the special forces were dead and the "base" was NOT

     taken.  Schneider says he was one of 3 survivors although not without severe injuries.

     [note: later reports suggested that the survivors of the Dulce wars were taken and 

      placed together in groups of three and told that they were the only survivors of the

      conflict.]   Apparently this was done to maintain more control over these personnel

     and prevent potential leaks of information. Project Excalibur -- a Los Alamos project

     to develop a nuclear warhead capable of penetrating thousands of feet of hardened soil

     before detonation -- may have been initiated as an option if conventional methods

     continued to fail (as opposed to the "cover" story of developing it to destroy under-

     ground enemy command bunkers and hardened missile silos).  Schneider was an

     explosives expert who had worked on many above top-secret projects.  His later jobs

     concerned boring holes through the earth to check the rock structure to determine if

     it was suitable for an underground base.  He would fashion the specially "shaped

     charges" required to blow the room into existence by collapsing porous rock.  Skeptics

     have pointed to Schneider's "certifiable" behavior as a reason to dismiss all his claims.

     If it were not for the fact that some of what he says is corroborates with testimony from

     others, that argument might have merit.  [Whether this incident is the 'technology

     exchange' program that went bad and started the government's back-engineering

     program as Lazar claims is in question.]

35. Crop circles are a relatively new phenomena associated with UFOs although they have

      been reported worldwide for over 20 years.  For some unknown reason the greatest

      concentration is in England, particularly in Wiltshire and Hampshire.  Elaborate designs

      are "carved" into crop fields of typically corn, wheat, and barley.  Sometimes in the

      space of only a few hours.  Always at night.  At times accompanied by reports of nearby

      UFOs.  Lately these have been the result of hoaxes and pranks.  But 'legitimate' circles

      are distinguishable by: (a) the stems are bent to precise angles at the nodes and are not

      broken or damaged; (b) every genuine circle can be dowsed; (c) lab analysis of the crops

      and soil show changes at the molecular level which would be impossible to produce by

      simply flattening the crop manually; (d) it is impossible to undo the various patterns in the

      center of the small circles without breaking the plants.  The researchers claim that for a

      group of individuals to attempt to construct one of these subject to the above constraints,

      with a total size that can be as large as 1000 feet, under complete darkness with a couple

      of planks and a ball of string in less than (sometimes) a half-hour is impossible.  A

      recurrent theme in UFO sightings is they are NOT accidental but rather intentional -- the

      aliens (perhaps for reason of displeasure) WANT us to see their presence at certain times.

      Perhaps the crop circles are another of "their" ways.
