U. S. Military Witnesses
Part 2

General Robert B. Landry
      "I was called one afternoon [in 1948] to come to the Oval Office – the President wanted to see me.... I was directed to report quarterly to the President after consulting with Central Intelligence people, as to whether or not any UFO incidents received by them could be considered as having any strategic threatening implications .."
      Landry was an aide to President Harry S. Truman.

Major General E.B. LeBaily
      "Many of the reports that cannot be explained have come from intelligent and technically well-qualified individuals whose integrity cannot be doubted." 
      As USAF Director of Information, in a September 28, 1965, letter to USAF Scientific Advisory Board.

General Curtis LeMay
        "We had a number of reports from reputable individuals (well-educated serious-minded folks, scientists and fliers) who surely saw something."
      As Air Force Chief of Staff, in his 1965 autobiography, 'Mission With LeMay,' stated that although the bulk of UFO reports could be explained as conventional or natural phenomena, some could not.
      "Many of the mysteries might be explained away as weather balloons, stars, reflected lights, all sorts of odds and ends. I don't mean to say that, in the unclosed and unexplained or unexplainable instances, those were actually flying objects. All I can say is that no natural phenomena could be found to account for them... Repeat again: There were some cases we could not explain. Never could."
      Statement from 1965 autobiography Mission With LeMay, with MacKinlay Kantor, New York: Doubleday, 1965.

General Stephen Lovekin
      "Colonel Holomon brought out a piece of what appeared to be metallic debris. He went on to explain that this was material that had come from a New Mexico crash in 1947 of an extraterrestrial craft, and that was discussed at length...I got an opportunity to travel with the President [Eisenhower]. He was very, very interested in what made [the UFOs] go. But what happened was that Eisenhower got sold out. He realized that he was losing control of the UFO subject. He realized that the [study of these technologies] was not going to be in the best hands. That was a real concern."
      From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. General Lovekin was in the US Army.

General Douglas MacArthur
      "The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets."
      The New York Times, October 8, 1955
      "You now face a new world - a world of change. The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres and missiles marked the beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind , the chapter of the space age... We speak in strange terms: of harnessing the cosmic energy... of the primary target in war, no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy." 
      An address by General Douglas MacArthur to the United States Military Academy at West Point, May 12, 1962.

Mark McCandlish, US Air Force, Aerospace Illustrator,
"This [US made] antigravity propulsion system-this flying saucer-was one of three that were in this hangar at Norton Air Force Base. They called [it] the Alien Reproduction Vehicle [ARV], also nicknamed the Flux Liner."
From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. McCandlish was a US Air Force aerospace illustrator.


Captain Thomas Mantell
      "It appears to be a metallic object......tremendous in size....directly ahead and slightly above .... I am trying to close for a better look." 
      Mantell, a USAF pilot, reporting to the tower at Goodman Air Force base, a UFO they had picked up on radar and requested him to investigate.  They were his last known words.  Mantell's plane was later found strewn across a stretch of ground just southwest of Franklyn, Kentucky.

Major Jesse Marcel
      "I was amazed at what I saw. The amount of debris that was scattered over such an area... The more I saw of the fragments, the more I realized it wasn't anything I was acquainted with. In fact, as it turned out, nobody else was acquainted with it.....There was a cover-up some place about this whole matter." 
      Major Marcel, a U.S. Army Intelligence Officer, in a videotaped interview.  Among the first to arrive at the crash site in Roswell, Marcel was well acquainted with all the weather balloons launched by the 509th Bomb Group, presumably including the Mogul balloons, one of which the U.S. Government now claims accounts for the Roswell wreckage.

Lt. Colonel James McAshan
      "In concealing the evidence of UFO operations, the Air Force is making a serious mistake." 
      McAshan was USAF. 

Sergeant Dan Morris
      "UFOs are both extraterrestrial and manmade...It's not that our government doesn't want us to know that there are other people on other planets. What the people in power don't want us to know is that this free energy [from energy generators developed with UFO technology] is available to everybody. So secrecy about the UFOs is because of the energy issue. When this knowledge is found out by the people, they will demand that our government release this technology, and it will change the world."
      From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Sergeant Morris was a US Air Force NRO operative.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker

      "Flying saucers are real.  Too many good men have seen them, that don't have hallucinations."  
      Captain Rickenbacker was known as, "American Ace of Aces," medal of honor-winning commander of the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron in WWI, with 26 "kills". 

Captain Edward J. Ruppelt
      "Every time I get skeptical, I think of the other reports made by experienced pilots and radar operators, scientists, and other people who know what they are looking at. These reports were thoroughly investigated and they are still unknowns."
      "We have no aircraft on this earth that can at will so handily outdistance our latest jets... The pilots, radar specialists, generals, industrialists, scientists, and the man on the street who have told me, 'I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen it myself,' knew what they were talking about. Maybe the Earth is being visited by interplanetary space ships."
      "When four college professors, a geologist, a chemist, a physicist, and a petroleum engineer report seeing the same UFOs on fourteen different occasions, the event can be classified as, at least, unusual. Add the fact that hundreds of other people saw these UFOs and that they were photographed, and the story gets even better. Add a few more facts, that these UFOs were picked up on radar and that a few people got a close look at one of them, and the story begins to convince even the most ardent skeptic."
      Ruppelt, Chief of Project Blue Book, from his book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, 1956.

Captain Robert Salas
      "[The security guard called and] said, "Sir, there's a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I've got all the men out here with their weapons drawn." We lost between 16 to 18 ICBMs [nuclear-tipped InterContinental Ballistic Missiles] at the same time UFOs were in the area...[A high-ranking Air Force Officer] said, "Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report." I heard that many of the guards that reported this incident were sent off to Viet Nam."
      From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Captain Robert Salas was a US Air Force officer.

Colonel Carl Sanderson
      "From their maneuvers and their terrific speed I am certain their flight performance was greater than any aircraft known today."
      Sanderson, USAF, commenting on his sighting of two circular silver UFOs in close proximity to his plane over Hermanas, New Mexico.  The UFOs were said to make a series of seemingly impossible maneuvers before disappearing at an astonishing speed and showing up again over El Paso, Texas. 

Lt. Frank H. Schofield
      "Three objects appeared beneath the clouds, their color a rather bright red.  As they approached the ship they appeared to soar, passing above the broken clouds.  After rising above the clouds they appeared to be moving directly away from the earth.  The largest had an apparent area of about six suns.  It was egg-shaped, the larger end forward.  The second was about twice the size of the sun, and the third, about the size of the sun.  Their near approach to the surface appeared to be most remarkable.  That they did come below the clouds and soar instead of continuing their southeasterly course is also curious.  The lights were in sight for over two minutes and were carefully observed by three people whose accounts agree as to the details."
      Lt. Frank H. Schofield, later to become Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, aboard the U.S.S. Supply off of the eastern coast of Korea, February 28, 1904

Colonel Charles Senn
      "I sincerely hope that you are successful in preventing a reopening of UFO investigations."
      In a letter from , to Lieutenant General Duward Crow of NASA, dated 1 September 1977.  Colonel  Senn was Chief of the Air Force, Community Relations Division.

Brig. General George Shulgen
      "It is the considered opinion of some elements that the object may in fact represent an interplanetary craft of some kind."
      From a Draft Intelligence Collections Memorandum by Brig. Geneneral George Shulgen, Oct. 28, 1947

Major Gerald Smith
      "[There was] something definite in the sky...If it had proved to be hostile we would have destroyed it." 
      Smith, USAF, was one of the F-106 pilots scrambled under orders from NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) to investigate a UFO over West Palm Beach, Florida on September 14, 1972.  The UFO was viewed through binoculars by the FAA supervisor, George Morales, sighted by an Eastern Airlines captain, police and several civilians, as well as being tracked on radar by Miami International Airport and Homestead AFB.  

Lieutenant D.A. Swimley
        "And don't tell me they were reflections, I know they were solid objects." 
      Swimley, USAF, commenting on a sighting of eight disc shaped objects he and several fellow officers watched circling over Hamilton AFB, California, on August 3, 1953.  The objects were also picked up on radar and spotted by many civilian pilots.  F-86 Sabres were scrambled to intercept the objects, but the jets were apparently too slow.

General Nathan Twining
      "The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted ... lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled."
      Twining as Head of Air Material Command (AMC), 1947.
      "The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious. There are objects approximating the shape of a disc, some of which appear flat on bottom and domed on top. These objects are as large as man-made aircraft and have a metallic or light-reflecting surface. Further they exhibit extreme rates of climb and maneuverability with no associated sound and take action which must be considered evasive when contacted by aircraft and radar." 
      Twining, in a declassified letter to the Pentagon. General Twining was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 1957-1960.

Captain Bill Uhouse
      "The [flight] simulator was for the extraterrestrial craft they had - a 30 meter one that crashed in Kingman, Arizona, back in 1953. I was inside the actual alien craft for a start-up....There are probably two or three dozen [ARVs] that we built."
      From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Captain Bill Uhouse was in the US Marine Corps.

Corporal Jonathan Weygandt
      "[The UFO] was buried in the side of a cliff. When I first saw it, I was scared. I think the creatures calmed me...[Later] I was arrested [by an Air Force officer]. He was saying, "Do you like the Constitution?" I'm like, "Yeah." He said, "We don't obey. We just do what we want. And if you tell anybody [about us or the UFO], you will just come up missing."
      From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Corporal Weygandt was in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Major Robert White
      "There are things out there!  There absolutely is!"  
      White exclaiming over the radio about a UFO encounter taking place on a 58 mile high X-15 flight on July 17, 1962. 
      "I have no idea what it could be.  It was greyish in color and about thirty to forty feet away."
      He later reported  

Colonel Robert Willingham
      "Headquarters wouldn't let us go after it and we played around a little bit. We got to watching how it made 90 degree turns at this high speed and everything. We knew it wasn't a missile of any type. So then, we confirmed it with the radar control station, and they kept following it, and they claimed that it crashed somewhere off between Texas and the Mexico border."
      Willingham, USAF, from an affidavit filed in the 1970s.  Willingham and his navigator were test flying an F-94 on Sept.6, 1950 out of San Angelo, Texas when they were alerted by radar control operators of a UFO in their area.

Colonel Steve Wilson
      "I have no feelings, truthfully. My association with MJ-12 has left me dead inside. I feel myself still  cold and calculating. I never let anyone get close to me. I feel like a human robot. I have killed mercilessly and lied for the good of the country, or so I believed at the time."
      "The things I have seen are beyond human understanding and totally unbelievable. I only have a desire to help humanity somehow through what is bound to come soon."
      Col. Wilson, USAF, revealed that he was in charge of Project Pounce, the unit tasked to retrieve downed UFOs and prevent civilian access to them. He also revealed the designations and manufacturers of U.S. antigravity craft.
