"The Grand Tour - Earth Saucers and Star Wars"

by Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D.

For several years articles have been appearing about secret government
bases where exotic space weapons and U.S.-made saucers are built and
tested, but always the testimony for such was "off the record" or from
"sources who cannot be named". So I determined to go see for myself. On
April 09, 1991 I set out in my S-10 Blazer on a six-state grand tour of
reported Southwest secret sites. The reality turned out to be  much more
startling than what I had seen in print until now.  For the curious or
suspicious, my background is that I am a clinical and research
psychologist in private practice in Sacramento, California. I have had a
hobby interest in UFO's since 1947, and a research interest in
extraterrestrial encounters since 1989. My formal education is in
Psychology (Ph.D.), Education (M.S.Ed.), Social Work (M.S.W.) and
Philosophy (B.A.). My knowledge of physics, astronomy, nuclear physics,
gravity, SDI, and the Intelligence and military coverup workings is
self-taught by reading books such as Intelligent Life in the Universe,
Carl Sagan & I.S. Shklovskii, The Anti-Gravity Handbook, D. Hatcher
Childress, The Puzzle Palace, James Bamford, The Cult of
Counterterrorism, Neil Livingstone, and Missing the Target: SDI in the
1990's, Union of Concerned Scientists, as well as L. Fletcher Prouty's
JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot To Assassinate John F. Kennedy. I
have never been in the military or intelligence services. I am a loyal,
but disquieted American.

The Grand Tour took place between April 9-15, 1992. The sites
reconnoitered include: Tonopah USAF Air Defense Command Headquarters,
Tonopah Test Range, the edge of Areas 51 and S-4 (Groom and Papoose Lakes
bases), Archuleta Mesa outside Dulce, N.M., Los Alamos National
Laboratories, Kirtland Air Force Base, the Western Regional Headquarters
of the Department of Energy (SDI), Sandia National Laboratories, Defense
Nuclear Agency headquarters, the National Atomic Museum, the National
Solar Observatory, U.S. Army's Sacramento Peak Frequency Surveillance
Station, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the site of the Very
Large Baseline Array near Pietown, N.M, and the Northrop saucer plant
near Lancaster, CA.

My selection of target sites was based on information from articles
about Stealth and Black Budget aerospace bases and Star Wars weapons
research and development sites appearing in newspapers such as the L.A.
Times, and various magazines such as Aviation Week and Space Technology,
Popular Mechanics, UFO MAGAZINE, and MUFON Journal. I used many useful
leads from Howard Blum's excellent Out There, as well as Timothy Good's
essential Above Top Secret. I also sifted out as best I could the
verifiable information from the unverifiable in William Hamilton III's
Cosmic Top Secret. Another source was a November 26, 1991 lecture on "The
Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" given by NASA Ames Research
Center's Dr. Jill Tarter, whose too vigorous protesting of Blum's book
Out There only increased my suspicion that Blum was onto something.
Additional information sources were conversations with two CIA officers I
have met, as well as from my years inside the University of California as
a graduate student and instructor.

My reconnoitering was done without any formal guides or inside
informants. As a follower of Native American spirituality, I asked for
and apparently received guidance and protection from the spiritual
forces.

My first objective was the town of Tonopah, Nevada, a gateway to Black
Budget aerospace/SDI projects. If you draw a line between Lancaster, CA,
Arco, ID, Denver, CO, and Alamogordo, NM, most Black Budget aerospace/SDI
projects are built, tested and based within this quadrangle, according to
my research. Although Tonopah is a tiny town with mining as its
ostensible economy, it houses an Air Force Air Defense Command
headquarters. This is a paradox, since Nellis Air Force Base (the nearest
official USAF facility)is 180 miles south. Unless, of course, there is a
secret USAF presence at the north end of the Nevada Test Range requiring
aerospace defense. Which there is. Also spotted was the "Shuttle to
Sandia". Very interesting, since Sandia National Labs is two states away
in Albuquerque. Unless, of course, there is a secret Sandia presence
nearby. Which there is.

From Tonopah I drove east 15 miles on U.S. 6 to the turnoff to the
Tonopah Test Range. The entrance sign misleadingly gives the impression
that they test small rockets there. But after driving 12 miles south on
the entrance road I came to a huge sprawling base operated not by the
Department of Defense but rather by Sandia National Laboratories for the
Department of Energy (DOE). "Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is AT&T",
according to SNL public information officer Joanne Pigg. (Personal
communication, 04/20/92.) Yes, AT&T is the corporation behind the
application of physics research to Star Wars weapons. When AT&T reaches
out to touch someone, it may be with one of their electromagnetic pulse
weapons.

By the front gate are 30 huge two-story buildings where Test Range
workers are headquartered. Through binoculars (7X35 power) I could see
downrange five miles where an equally large additional buildings complex
was located. To the south and east extend hundreds of square miles for
operational testing of DOE weapons, such as electromagnetic pulse,
particle beam, tactical fusion (Leonard Stringfield, in The UFO Report,
T. Good, ed.) and laser. Strategic nuclear weapons are tested 100 miles
farther south at another DOE facility, the Nevada Test Site, while
U.S.-made saucers are test-flown 100 miles southeast, over the Groom and
Papoose Lakes bases.

The guards at the Tonopah Test Range were not dressed in military or
police uniform, but rather wore desert camouflage jumpsuits with a
cryptic shoulder patch reading "ASI-SWAT". A military convoy was let
through the gate and headed downrange. When I approached the main gate on
foot, the two guards were surly and aggressively poised. They carried
strange weapons which I have never seen before, although I am familiar
with the appearance of U.S. and international military, police and
elite-unit weapons, as found in, for example, Soldier of Fortune
magazine. Their weapons looked like a fat, black, cylindrical oversized
rifle stock (about 5" diameter), about a yard long, but no barrel or
muzzle at the end. Not wanting to experience this weapon pointed any
closer to me, I accepted their refusal to let me pass through, and
retreated.

About 80 miles east of Tonopah Test Range on State HWY 375 is the hamlet
of Rachel, NV. Mostly a mobile home complex housing workers employed at
Area 51, Rachel's central spot is the Little A'Le'Inn bar and restaurant.
Proprietors Joe and Pat Travis are quite informative about Area 51 and
host the Air Force personnel who come there to drink after work. The
walls of the Little A'Le'Inn are a veritable museum of USAF unit
insignia, UFO photographs, drawings and souvenirs, as well as autographed
photos of UFO researchers and investigative journalists, such as George
Knapp of Las Vegas radio-television. Joe told me of a UFO having come
down once at night after closing and illuminated the entire interior of
their restaurant.

I then proceeded 25 miles southeast to the Groom Lake dirt road turnoff,
marked by the infamous black mailbox until the Winter of 1992, when it
was removed because of its notoriety. Using USGS topographic maps
(Pahranagat Range) I carefully drove west on the dirt roads towards the
Groom Lake base. While still five miles away from the military
reservation boundary, I encountered two men in camouflage jumpsuits armed
with rifles, sitting in an unmarked Ford Bronco with a lightbar on the
roof, parked off the roadbed facing me. Just as I drove past them, my
left rear tire collapsed and I rolled to a stop. The tire had a sidewall
penetration, although the tread was good. Nothing on the clear dirt road
could have caused a sidewall blowout. I concluded that the tire had been
shot by one of these men. After a minute the camouflaged duo did a
U-turn, drove up next to my vehicle as I was changing the tire, and
sarcastically asked, "Anything wrong?". I was next questioned as to
whether I had a badge, and whether I was "headed up ahead". When I said I
had no badge, they said "It's no use going up ahead". I learned that
there is a guarded closed gate at the military reservation boundary. A
USAF Lt. Colonel James W. Hutchinson is Installation Commander in charge
of Area 51. (USAF warning document, Area 51 issue, 1992.)

Since it was late afternoon I retreated until dark, then returned and
parked prudently about a quarter-mile east of the Bronco and got out my
binoculars to observe the ridgeline  of the Groom Range above Areas 51
and S-4 from 9:00-10:30 p.m., April 9. After a half-hour I spotted an
intense burning-bright orange-gold round light rise up vertically  from
behind the Groom Mountains. It hovered several minutes, drifted slowly
south about 1000 feet, then slowly descended vertically behind the
mountains. This object had the same color and shape, and was viewed from
the same direction, as the object photographed by researcher Gary Schulz,
who enlarged and computer-enhanced his photo to reveal a flying disc with
a cupola on top, surrounded by an ionization haze of light. Schulz'
photographs of what he identifies as a HPAC (Human Powered Alien Craft)
hang on the wall of the Little A'Le'Inn, and appear in Cosmic Top Secret.

Soon a second brilliantly shining round object rose vertically and
hovered about 500 feet above the ridgeline. This object was strobing and
emitting a blue-white intense light apparently from the skin of the
craft. It then began a series of incredible, impossibly blindingly-fast
pendulum, zig-zag and back-and-forth maneuvers at fraction-of-a-second
intervals, covering perhaps 900 feet at a "jump". The object executed
180-degree turns and appeared almost to be in two places at once. After
this dazzling aerobatics performance it settled down to hovering awhile,
then resumed the gyrations again. Both episodes of gyrations lasted over
a minute each. Finally the object hovered motionless, then began flying
downrange south at a constant altitude and direction at about 80 mph. I
tracked it through my binoculars for about 30 miles before it became
indistinguishable from the starfield.

About a half-hour after it disappeared, a third brilliant round object,
glowing with the same burning-bright orange-gold color, rose above the
Groom Range, hovered, drifted slowly, then began strobing. Then it began
gliding downrange at a constant altitude and speed of 80 mph, but with
somewhat irregularly spaced erratic jumps forward. Also odd was that the
appearance of the craft alternated between strobes; on one phase it was a
bright sharply-defined orb of orange-gold light, on the alternate phase
it was a smudgy golden smear of light. It repeated this phase-shifting
all the way downrange.

These craft were navigated in a conservative and slow fashion, and did
not display the confident maneuvering and extremely rapid departure style
so often reported for extraterrestrial UFO's. Thus I concluded these are
the U.S.-manufactured discs at a primitive stage of technology and/or
pilot mastery. On the other hand, the extreme hyperfast
aerobatics-in-place of the one craft indicates that inertial forces, and
therefore gravity, have been overcome by these craft.

My next destination was Archuleta Mesa just north of Dulce, NM. Reported
in Blum's Out There and Good's The UFO Report as an underground base,
Archuleta Mesa straddles the New Mexico-Colorado border. I drove around
the mesa and discovered a mysterious "ranch" on the north side near the
base of the mesa. The "Redding R Ranch" is supposedly a beefalo raising
outfit. However, in the front yard of the ranch between the road and the
two ranch buildings were four odd, 25-foot high guardtowers on stilts,
defining the four corners of the inner property. No movement or personnel
were detected. The ranch ranges for two miles along the road, with four
fancy expensive wrought-iron gates and arches with "Redding R Ranch"
spelled in wrought iron, spaced at intervals along the fenceline.
However, three of these gates lead to nowhere, either bordering a cliff
over a creek or bordering a dense forest with no road behind the gate. A
self-confessed Intelligence operative I interviewed in June, 1992, Dr.
(Col.) John Alexander, working as a member of the Board of Directors of
PSITECH, (a commercial intelligence company using psychics with remote
viewing powers), expressed great interest in seeing my photographs of the
"Ranch" and "had heard of it" in his intelligence work. I shared with him
that a remote viewer in Sacramento, CA I consult with, Nancy Matz, had
spotted several levels of excavated chambers in the mesa, but that there
had been a great disturbance inside the mountain which caused some of the
chambers to cave in on others. Dr. Alexander replied to this that "we set
off a nuclear explosion inside the mountain" (personal communication,
06/16/92), but then added the disinformation that "it was to search for
oil". (Oil is found deep under the ground, not up in the air on a
2000-foot high sandstone mesa. Thus, I did not completely penetrate the
mystery of Archuleta Mesa (Dulce), but there appears to be more there
than meets the eye.

Next I headed back into New Mexico to reconnoiter Los Alamos National
Laboratories (LANL), where theoretical research having weapons
applications is conducted for the Department of Energy (DOE) by the
University of California. (The University also operates Lawrence
Livermore Laboratories in California for weapons purposes,  specializing
in laser and nuclear fusion research.) A huge sprawling complex covering
much of Los Alamos County, Los Alamos Labs stretches for 5 miles by 13
miles, and, according to John Alexander, has extensive underground
facilities in addition to the surface installations, (Personal
communication, 06/16/92.) LANL emphasizes nuclear fusion,and more
recently, anti-matter weapons research. It helps to explain why this
country is not making more progress in safely disposing of nuclear waste
that there is one small building at LANL dedicated to Nuclear Waste
Management Research, while there are hundreds dedicated to making more
waste. DOE "No Trespassing" signs, with dire penalties, are everywhere at
LANL, as are radiation warning signs. Certain curious anomalies were
noted at LANL. Building T10 houses the Center for Human Genome Studies,
and(!) the HIV (AIDS) Database : a pair of rather strange enterprises for
a military weapons-oriented research complex to be involved in, rather
than the National Institutes of Health. One cannot help being reminded of
the rumors that AIDS is a biological weapon gone amok. Even more curious
is another building which houses LANL's Theoretical Biology and
Biophysics studies. Perhaps less curious if the rumor is true that the
extraterrestrial corpses from the crashed UFO near Corona, NM were
brought to Los Alamos for study. Los Alamos' Theoretical Biology
department may be linked to NASA Ames Research Center's exobiology
studies, which include having constructed lifelike figures of alternative
evolutionary  models of what intelligent life may look like on other
planets (Blum, H., Out There).

Besides nukes and exotic biology LANL also researches military
applications of intense magnetic fields at its National High Magnetic
Field Laboratory, (a prerequisite to gravity/antigravity research). And
the military connection at LANL is not subtle. The Air Force has its ATAC
Technical Support Facility there, staffed and guarded 7 days a week.

Another anomaly at Los Alamos is its central nuclear reactor. This is
the only reactor I have ever seen with personnel quarters (extremely
secure) located right next to the reactor, in violation of the principle
of keeping optimal separation between persons and radiation.

The theoretical weapons physics of Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore
Laboratories is translated into actual working models of high tech
weapons at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque. So I headed for
Albuquerque, arguably a center of the Black Budget/SDI effort. Located on
the southeast edge of town is Kirtland Air Force Base. Kirtland provides
cover for and houses: the Southwest Regional Office of the Department of
Energy (DOE), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), the Defense Nuclear
Agency, the Interservice Nuclear Weapons School, and DOE's National
Atomic Museum. To say that DOE and SNL keep a low profile is an
understatement. They do not even list themselves in the Albuquerque phone
book, although other federal agencies have long listings of even minor
departments.

I entered the Kirtland Air Force Base complex through its main gate
after getting a free pass offered any civilian who wants to visit the
National Atomic Museum or SNL's Solar Research Power Tower inside. If one
happens not to be able to help passing various DOE, USAF, SNL or DNA
facilities and weapons test sites on the way in or out, oh, well,
opportunity knocks.

Over the roof of the Department of Energy Regional Headquarters fly
three flags, the U.S., the DOE, and the AT&T! Yes, the AT&T
horizontal-stripes globe logo flies alongside, because AT&T is Sandia
National Laboratories, which is where a large part of DOE effort in the
Southwest takes place. Although the government likes to tout its nuclear
safety record, the DOE is not even capable of keeping its own regional
administrative headquarters building free of contamination, as
photographic evidence shows. Contaminated or not, the DOE is secured like
a fortress, with checkpoint guardposts and a personnel entry cubicle one
must enter, lock the door, punch in a code, then exit another door, all
before walking to the front door of the headquarters building.

Since I could not enter even the main lobby area of DOE or SNL
headquarters, I travelled a quarter-mile farther to the National Atomic
Museum (NAM). The nuclear physicists and military at Los Alamos and
Sandia Labs are so proud of their history of nuclear "achievements" that
they proudly display information I had presumed was classified (and may
still be, elsewhere). For example, The U.S. now has hydrogen bombs
downsized as small as a RV propane tank, and which could easily fit in an
Army duffel bag. Or, as Abu Nidal knows, in a bus terminal storage
locker. Even more amazing, in view of Lawrence Livermore Laboratories'
continuing disinformation campaign that "we're still working on
containing nuclear fusion", was NAM's revelation that the U.S. since 1987
been producing controlled nuclear fusion, and that it is
self-sustaining(!) and contained by a hyperstrong magnetic field. They
use lasers to implode fissile material and produce fusion. This is an
inexhaustible and rather compact energy source, and may be the powerplant
for the gravity-defying craft I saw at Area 51. Another NAM revelation
with Star Wars weapons implications (and applications) is that SNL has
achieved advanced particle acceleration energy capabilities that can
deliver a 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) volt burst of ions using a
lithium diode one inch thick.

Across the street (appropriately) from the National Atomic Museum is the
Interservice Nuclear Weapons School, where all branches of the armed
services can learn how to use nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons must no
longer be understood to mean only hydrogen bombs, but also Star Wars
weaponry which uses nuclear fusion as its power source.

Which leads us next to the immense sprawling complex of Sandia National
Laboratories. SNL and its test ranges extend south and east of DOE
headquarters for over a hundred square miles, and take up most of what is
labelled "Kirtland Air Force Base". SNL has project buildings every
half-mile in every direction out to the horizon. Activities identified by
sign include mostly weapons-application research in nuclear, nuclear
transport, magnetic, solar (yes, solar weapons!), electromagnetic-pulse,
laser and particle beam energy. At the Solar Power Tower laboratory SNL
boasts of a heliostat (solar collector-concentrator device) which can
burn through 1"-thick hard metal plating in 26 seconds.

But the piece-de-resistance of Star Wars weapons research applications I
found was "Project ARIES, the Advanced Research Electromagnetic Pulse
(EMP) Simulator Site", where a two-blocks long device was built for the
Defense Nuclear Agency by Edgerton. Germhausen & Greer (EG&G).

EG&G is a shadowy corporation involved (along with Wackenhut
Corporation) in security for Areas 51 and S-4, (personal communication
with security officers at EG&G and at Wackenhut 03/14/92), Black Budget
weapons operations like Project ARIES, and in maintaining various nuclear
facilities for the U.S. government (Wildfire, 6:1, Spring, 1992). The EMP
weapon consists of a 1 1/2-block long barrel horizontally supported on a
wooden (nonconductive) trestle 25 feet high, connected to a two-story
tower building, connected in turn to an immense electrical apparatus with
huge arms and massive connecting cables looking like a gigantic Van de
Graaf generator. The long-rumored electromagnetic pulse weapon spotted at
last! Using fusion power and engineered to 100 trillion volt bursts, it
could arguably overpower even the exotic technology of an
extraterrestrial UFO. It is clearly overkill to defeat a mere incoming
CIS (formerly, USSR) ballistic missile, for which nuclear-tipped sprint
intercept missiles suffice. While driving around trying to find my way
back from the solar weapons lab, I encountered the famous Manzano
Mountain Weapons Storage facility, an entire mountain tunneled into for
storage of various high security items, such as nuclear weapons and,
according to Timothy Good, retrieved UFO's (Above Top Secret). Manzano is
surrounded by three separate high razor-wire-tipped fences with
bare-earth zones between, presumably with motion sensors embedded. Armed
personnel in jeeps constantly patrol the area. The security at Manzano is
in high contrast to the rather porous-to-nonexistent security elsewhere
at Sandia. At the northern end of Manzano is the notorious Coyote Canyon
Test Site, where extremely classified Air Force, DNA, DOE and SNL
research takes place. At the entrance was a sign designating the Defender
Challenge project. This is the area where a UFO was spotted by USAF
personnel hovering low in 1979 (Above Top Secret, T. Good). Peering
partway into Coyote Canyon by binoculars, I could see a strange metallic
ball 20 feet high resting on the ground sheltered by a flat tin roof
above, supported by four poles surrounding the huge sphere. Its purpose
is unknown. Whatever the research at Coyote Canyon is, it has made the
water in the area unfit to drink or even wash your hands in. Because of
the off-limits signs I did not enter Coyote Canyon or other high-security
canyons around, so I cannot fully report on all that is going on at these
Sandia sites.

Leaving Sandia, I headed south towards Alamogordo, to the National Solar
Observatory (NSO) at Sunspot, NM. Located at top of Sacramento Peak 9200'
above Alamogordo, NSO is another low-profile facility. Its staffing
include Air Force science officers, who monitor the effects of the Sun's
electromagnetic radiation fields on geophysical and geomagnetic
disturbances, on the operation of spacecraft and of satellite orbit
stability, as well as on spaceflight operations (NSO pamphlet, 1992).
Under the entrance sign of the Observatory is placed an additional small
sign which reads "Umbra", the National Security Agency's highest security
classification (The Puzzle Palace, J. Bamford). A thousand feet east of
the NSO is the Army Sacramento Peak Frequency Surveillance Station, the
entrance to which has several signs forbidding entrance, with severe
penalties. This station monitors electromagnetic (EM) communications and
telemetry on and over White Sands Missile Range, Holloman Air Force Base,
and NASA's secret Johnson Space City complex. My remote viewer consultant
noted underground facilities at the Surveillance Station and EM force
field generation, which may explain why there was no cricket or forest
sounds near this ELMINT (electromagnetic intelligence) facility, probably
actually operated by the National Security Agency.

Holloman Air Force Base, White Sands Missile Range and NASA's Johnson
Space City were highly secure and off-limits, and I was not able to
reconnoiter them. My next destination lay in western New Mexico.

I explored the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NROA), whose Very
Large Array consists of 27 huge "receiving" dishes 82 feet wide, on
support towers which move around on railroad tracks. Each is as tall as a
twelve-story building. Capable of different configurations, the dishes I
saw were arrayed in an inverted-T configuration, each arm of which
stretched for one mile, with the longest arm pointed due north.  The
stated purpose of this facility is to collect "weak radio waves from
celestial sources". This is presented to the outsider as meaning
exclusively mapping the heavens by locating stars and energized gasfields
in space which emit EM radiation in the radio frequency. However, as with
other sites on this tour, NROA is not your average boring observatory.
Parked adjacent to the headquarters was an Army truck with NROA insignia
on the door, and two! ambulances with NROA insignia also. (The handful of
astronomers working here must have a terrible occupational accident
record!) Further insight into what is going on here is provided by NASA
Ames Research Center spokesperson Dr. Jill Tarter, who revealed (during a
presentation at the University of California, Davis on November 26, 1991)
that the United States would announce on October 12, 1992 that it is
turning on its radiotelescopes to listen for intelligent transmissions
from space. This effort was timed for Columbus' 500th Anniversary of
discovering the New World. Cute, huh? Except that this is disinformation.
Actually, the U.S. government has been funding and conducting the Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) for years (Out There, H. Blum).
One could speculate that the purpose of this upcoming high-profile
government announcement is to create the fig leaf for "uncovering" ET
communications, and finally the open admission by the government of
extraterrestrial-government contact.

What is not speculation is the evidence, including physical evidence, I
obtained that the government's NROA dishes are also being used to
transmit superpowerful signals into space, specifically towards the
direction just above the low north horizon. One clue came when I was
having dinner at the Datil restaurant next to four astronomers from NROA.
One was complaining about trying to get time on a radio dish to do his
research. But while I was at NROA all 27 dishes were pointed away from
the main part of the sky, and directed toward a target above the low
north horizon. A photo of NROA displayed at their headquarters again
shows all 27 dishes pointed at that same low north horizon angle. Why
this persistent focus on one area of sky when there is such competition
for time on the dishes? Another clue is the location of NROA on the
desolate Plains of San Agustin, a silent region deliberately chosen for
its remoteness from cities with their radio stations and other EM
radiation.

The physical evidence was obtained as I left the NROA. As I was about
two miles from the Very Large Array, with both my FM and CB radios on,
the most intense screeching howling sounds I have ever heard come out of
either radio blanketed both FM and CB simultaneously and excruciatingly.
My CB meter went way farther into the red than I have ever seen it go
before. This howling screech continued for several minutes. I could not
believe my ears. How could NROA allow such powerful EM signals which
would interfere with their listening to delicate radio waves from space?
Finally I turned off the radios until I reached Pietown, 21 miles
northwest. Then I turned both radios on again and again heard the
deafening screech, which lasted an additional two minutes. Then
mercifully it stopped. After it ended, both radios were functioning
perfectly, sent and received well, and I have never heard that noise
again. It then occurred to me that NROA is not only receiving signals
from space, but sending them! Given the rule that EM field strength
diminishes algebraically with distance, the sending power from the NROA
dishes is extraordinary (to swamp the CB and FM frequencies at 21 miles),
as befits a signal intended to penetrate into space. Whom is the
government signaling? And why is the government lying about SETI?

At Pietown, NM, an eye-blink of four houses and one boarded-up store,
the government is supposed to be building a much huger radiotelescope
complex, the Very Large Baseline Array, which will connect and harness
the reach of radio- telescopes from Hawaii to West Virginia, and from
Puerto Rico to New Mexico (NROA Exhibit data, 1992). This will create an
"antenna" with a "dish size" equivalent to almost one-eighth of the
globe. The Very Large Baseline Array was due to be completed this year,
but I saw no radiotelescopes. The only construction I could find involved
huge pipes (10-foot diameter) being prepared for placement underground in
some oversize tunnel works. The purpose is unknown, the project having no
explanatory sign. What's really going on at Pietown I cannot say. So I
headed west to my final destination, in California's aerospace Black
Budget Palmdale-Lancaster region.

Sixty miles north of Los Angeles, in the Tehachapi Mountains east of
Edwards Air Force Base, lies the Tejon Ranch, sprawling for approximately
600 square miles. There the Northrop Aircraft Corporation has its secret
saucer manufacturing works, according to researcher William Hamilton III
in his book, Cosmic Top Secret. Bill was right.         I saw the same intensely
burning-bright orange-gold craft test-flown there as I had seen above
Areas 51/S-4.   Following Bill's directions I proceeded seven miles west
from Lancaster on HWY 138 to Road 190, then three miles north to the Kern
County line. Staked out with binoculars between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on
April 15, I observed four ultrabright orange-gold orbs rise and traverse
a brief 1 1/2 mile test loop. At intervals of about a half-hour, each orb
took off and plied its course. The first three took off from what
appeared to be the southwest hanger area of the Northrop complex. The
fourth one took off from the northeast staging area. On the ground each
craft was not glowing at first, but appeared in the full moonlight like a
parked airliner frame with backlit "porthole windows". Estimated width of
craft is 50 feet. Then as each began to rise, it began glowing intensely
all over its frame, as though the frame itself (or an ionizing field
around the frame) were emitting light. Its intensity increased
proportionately to the power demand of rising from the ground vertically
to approximately 200 feet above the plant. At this altitude and at
maximum brightness the craft hovered, then slowly began to glide at about
15 mph in a southwest direction for 1 1/2 miles, stopped, then swung
around revealing its round bottom side briefly which emitted even more
intense light. Then each craft traversed back at steady altitude to the
staging area, hovered, then descended vertically slowly to the ground.
Upon landing each then stopped emitting bright light except for the dim
backlit "portholes". The fourth craft took its loop in a northeasterly
direction. These loops appeared to be very brief and cautious test runs
to be sure the craft actually flew, before shipping them off to Area S-4
for full field-test proving, and use to join a growing fleet of U.S.
saucers.

Now I had completed my six-state tour and seen the Star Wars and U.S.
saucer facilities. What does it all mean?

I believe that UFO's, Star Wars weapons and U.S. saucers are
interrelated, like a three-legged stool. As investigator Leonard
Stringfield states in Timothy Good's The UFO Report (1989): "Star Wars,
ostensibly conceived as a defensive system against Russian missile
attacks, may have had from its beginning a 'defensive' UFO connection."
Clearly, given the dramatic increase in Strategic Defense Initiative
Office funding, a 33% increase in each of the last three years (Missing
the Target:SDI in the 1990's, Union of Concerned Scientists, 1992), while
there has been a dramatic drop in the Soviet missile threat since 1989 as
the USSR fell apart, the Union of Concerned Scientists concluded that
"there is no rationale for an SDI system as large as that proposed either
by Congress...or the Bush administration". This anomaly further points to
a different agenda for SDI than stopping CIS missiles or Third World
terrorists. That agenda, I believe, is weapons "countermeasures"
capability against extraterrestrials and their UFO's. SDI
"countermeasures" include nuclear, laser, electromagnetic pulse and
particle beam weapons, and, in development, antimatter bombs 10,000 times
more powerful than the hydrogen bomb!

Documentary evidence of such agenda appears to have been inadvertently
provided by NASA when the astronauts of the Shuttle Discovery transmitted
to Earth videocamera footage of UFO's traversing just above Earth
atmosphere. One UFO suddenly makes a 90-degree turn to the right and
accelerates off into deeper space, just a second before a burst of
shaped-pulse high energy streaks up from Earth towards the spot where the
UFO would have been if it had not radically changed course. Other UFO's
are shown being shot at by visibly energized EM weapon bursts. This
videotape was shown on NBC's Hard Copy program of June 5, 1992, and
narrated by UFO Magazine Contributing Editor Don Ecker.

A Star Wars weapon shooting at a UFO above Earth's atmosphere? It looked
that way to Don Ecker, and from my research it looks that way to me.

The assembling of a fleet of U.S. saucers in Nevada appears to be a
related effort to develop capacity to do combat with extraterrestrial
UFO's on technologically similar terms. Compelling evidence also exists
that the assembling of high tech weapons under the appropriately-named
Star Wars program is precisely to make war on extraterrestrials.

What is the motive for the Shadow Government's war on extraterrestrials?
Richard Hoagland, former editor of Star & Sky magazine and consultant to
NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center, explains. "There is a great deal of
naivete about the forces in our society that do not want this knowledge,
even in the form of a very useful technology, to get out." He notes that
there are "interlocking institutions whose job it is to keep themselves
in business. And they do not take lightly to this ET technology. After
all, how do people stay in power? Because they define the universe as
limited, rare and scarce and then put a price tag on it. Then some people
are put in charge of doling out the scarce precious thing; other people
buy it at whatever the market will bear. And you have a really neat
system for controlling people." (Wildfire, 6:1, Spring, 1992).

Is the Shadow Government's aggressive and paranoid SDI response the one
we want made in our name to visits by intelligent life from other
planets? Is that a good use for $80 billion of our tax dollars? (SDI
Budget, 1993-2005, Union of Concerned Scientists, op. cit.>. As Edmund
Burke once stated, "All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for
enough good men <and women> to do nothing."

Something we can do to expose and oppose this evil is demanding of our
elected representatives that the Black Budget be opened to full
Congressional and public scrutiny and debate. This also should include
the Intelligence budgets, particularly NSA, NRO, CIA and DIA. Finally, we
need to demand that Congress pass legislation outlawing and invalidating
the pernicious practice of secret Executive Orders by the President, with
no accountability to the American people, such as Truman's classified
Executive Order of 09/24/47 setting up MJ-12 and hiding extraterrestrial
contact from the American people (T. Good, Above Top Secret).

With information comes responsibility. The ball is now in our court.
