* Weapons Development and Manufacture –
Atomic and thermonuclear - research facilities
(Los Alamos, Sandia Labs, Lawrence Livermore)
and other developmental locations. This
category seems straight-forward in that
sightings at these locations could be related to
activity at these facilities at the time of the
sighting. It could even be as simple as status
checks or demonstrating concern through repeated
presence at facilities. More study is needed in
this category to determine if any historical
significance exists in these incursions.
* Fuel Processing Facilities
(initially Oak Ridge Tennessee then Hanford
Washington -in my backyard). Hanford was
the second facility built to support the
Manhattan Project. The fuel for the weapons
used in Japan came from this facility. It
would be an obvious target for surveillance
and demonstration. An event occurred at this
facility on or around the date of the Trinity
Test.
Hanford, WA: Radar picked up a fast moving
oval object the size of three aircraft
carriers side by side which then began to
hover over N-Plant at 65,000 ft altitude. Six
F6F's were scrambled to the object but reached
a maximum altitude of 42,000 ft, 5,000 ft
above the rated ceiling of the F6F. The pilots
were forced to go back as their engines began
to fail and fuel became dangerously low. The
object then disappeared as quickly as it came.
At least twenty minutes elapsed during the
event. The object was described as "very
streamlined like a stretched-out egg and
pinkish in color" and emitting vapor from the
outer edges. The date of the occurrence was
described by Rolan Powell, one of the pilots,
as "six weeks before the Japanese surrendered
aboard the Battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on
September 2, 1945.” This places the sighting
in the middle of July. Living On The
Edge: An American war hero's daring feats as a

Long duration sightings at or near these
facilities close to such important dates can
interpreted as demonstrations. The timing of
these demonstrations often occur about
significant atomic/nuclear related events. Do
they want our leaders to be cognizant of these
incursions and their importance? It is as if
they are applying pressure. The sighting over
the Oak Ridge facility September 18 of 1944
occurred on the same day as the Hyde Park
Accord, a secret accord between the US and
Britain [F. D. Roosevelt and W. Churchill]
deciding atomic bombing of Japan. There are
many events that have occurred over the
weapons material manufacturing facilities and
much opportunity to learn the historical
significance.
A side note:
In a search for information relating UFO to
Hanford, documents relating to the cleanup
efforts at Hanford turned up with information
on a waste dump area officially titled “UFO
Landing Area.” It is in one of the oldest dump
areas of the reservation and adjacent to the
main security facilities. It appears, based on
another person’s review of recent aerial
photos, that the cleanup is complete at that
location. That was an interesting find. The
titles of these various cleanup areas do not
show a theme of humor or sarcasm. The
underground plume of contaminants at the
reservation is slowly working its way toward
the Columbia River. At this time, there is not
much we can do to halt this progression.
* Weapons Testing – have test dates
and locations, Space Tests-EMP
Moon N-test? (US, Britain, France and
Russia) It is likely that appearances
were made at a majority of the tests. There is
film footage from the DoD that looks
suspiciously like a UFO applying surveillance
during a test. Many of these tests are
available on video. Some of these tests
were demonstrations themselves for the sake of
applying pressure to the former USSR. These
would be likely candidates for demonstration
activity from the UFO.
One test in particular that either was or
wasn’t attempted, was a demonstration test
that was slated to occur on the Moon. There
are two accounts – one that says the Air Force
shut the project down and another that says it
was launched, intercepted and destroyed by
UFO. Tests did actually take place in
space, however, in 1958 and again in 1962
after the test moratorium was over. These were
executed to realize the results of ionizing
the Van Allen belt with radiation. As it
turned out in a test from Johnston Island,
radar, radio communications and power were all
knocked out in a large area. This EMP
(electro-magnetic pulse) affect is known to be
a useful tool in knocking out the enemies’
ability to retaliate. The possibility of an
enemy’s use of EMP has become an important
driver in having missile defense
capability.
Another attempted test on Johnston resulted
in destruction of the rocket on the pad and
resulting plutonium contamination of a large
area around the launch facility. Deaths have
been attributed to exposure following the
accident.
Its unimaginable that we would have continued
to get away with sending these weapons into
space. Between the US and the USSR there were
at least 20 tests. These were cut off due to
the danger posed to space assets, astronauts
and cosmonauts, and the population as a whole
(not to mention UFO). An Outer Space Treaty
was drawn up in response to keep nuclear
weapons out of space for detonation or
targeting from space. There is a good video
called “Nukes in Space” (Peter Kuran – Goldhil
Home Media International) and more information
on the space tests available on the
Internet.
Delivery of fissile materials via naval
vessel for these tests had UFO fly-overs. It
is also likely the USS Indianapolis and its
ill-fated mission delivering the fissile
material unescorted for the Hiroshima and
Nagasaki bombings had visits by UFO. There are
survivors from that sinking, but It seems
unjustifiable interviewing them about possible
sightings during their voyage after hearing
their personal accounts of the hell they lived
through.
* Rocket/Missile Development (White
Sands, Australia, Russia).
It would be consistent for UFO to monitor
rocket development both as future delivery
vehicles for nuclear weapons and for our space
purposes. Accounts exist to support this
observation. Further work is needed to provide
examples.
* Nuclear Threat or Standoff Conditions -
dates of US decisions or military command
recommendations to pursue the use of nuclear
weapons during various conflicts and
standoffs.
It is this category that would include
incursions over Washington D.C. and other
capitals throughout the world. There are many
examples to draw from. The demonstrations in
these instances would be more bold, pointed at
leadership and persistent in duration. The
1952 flap holds many secrets. At that time we
were in the midst of the Korean war, were on
schedule with development of the hydrogen
bomb, had many complex issues to consider
regarding the Soviets with their nuclear
weapons development and China. China’s
involvement in the Korean War had pushed our
military command towards recommending the use
of atomic weapons at least once. This instance
had taken place in the first months of 1951.
In 1952 we had new developments involving
China over the situation in the Indo-China
region. China was once again aiding in a
growing conflict that would eventually oust
the French colonial government and persist to
become the Vietnam War. An article researched
and printed in a prominent Japanese newspaper
Asahi on September 16, 1984, states that
according to documents retrieved through the
FOIA, on July 16, 1952, the joint chiefs made
the recommendation to take on China utilizing
atomic weapons. Excerpts from the article as
translated to English:
“The United States Department of State
announced on the 14th [September, 1984] that
in its diplomatic documents, the United States
Armed Forces were concerned with the French
gradually losing in its frontline battle in
the Indo-China War. The United States was
contemplating cutting resources to the League
for Vietnamese independence (The Vietnamese
army led by Ho Chi Minh), and to use nuclear
weapons against China to prevent their
descending south.
It is known from the diplomatic documents
released last year [1983], that nuclear
weapons considered for use against China by
the United States when entering the Korean
War. But this is the first time that the
consideration for the use of nuclear weapons
in the first Indo-China war was made
public.
According to those documents, the first time
that a nuclear strike against China was
considered, was on January 11, 1952 at the
conference held by military representatives
from the United States, France, and England.
Chairman Bradley of the Joint Chiefs of
Staffs. He suggested that, in order to halt
the southern advance of China in the
Indo-China war, they warn China about the use
of nuclear weapons as being one of their
options. But, telling the method that they
would use in a retaliatory attack was
considered unwise, and the suggestion was
dropped.
In the same year, on July 16, at the
strategic military conference held by the
Department of State and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Chairman Bradley stated that it would
be difficult to halt the southern advance of
China without paralyzing their transportation
systems with nuclear weapons. It is not known
at this time what the view of President Truman
was concerning this topic.”
There is evidence to support that strong
connections exist between political/military
considerations of the use of nuclear weapons
and the appearance of UFO at the capitol or
other important government facilities. Of the
conflicts since WWII, the Vietnam War has
provided the largest number of nuclear
scenarios beginning in 1949, when the Chinese
began supplying arms to Ho Chi Minh. Certainly
all of the nuclear threats and standoffs have
to be studied to look for consistent patterns
before passing judgement on the 1952 D.C.
correlation indicated above.
* Deployment of Nuclear Bomber and Missile
Wings - US and overseas, increased
activity as a result of. (over bombers on
alert status, weapons storage, harassing
bombers on training missions, etc…) (most US
locations were bases left over from
WWII).
Deployment historical documents for the US
and overseas are being utilized. Although this
category is not documented yet, many examples
have been collected over the years to suggest
that correlation of activity with deployment
is a sure thing. This will be backed with data
as this effort continues. The primary purpose
of covering this topic is to indicate a strong
statistical relationship. If UFO are truly
interested in and concerned over our nuclear
components as the evidence supports, this
would in itself be the motivation for the
different incursions over these bases.
Monitoring weapon types, movement and
deployment would surely be the activities they
would engaged in. Another aspect this topic
uncovers is the treatment generally of our
military planes. UFO tend to engage our
military aircraft directly and boldly.
* Nuclear False Alerts - bomber fleet
attacks or missile launches indicated by early
warning radar installations or
satellites-occurring in the US or USSR (with
consideration of specific nuclear related
action or deployment by a country, increasing
political tensions).
This is one hot topic. Of course there have
been many false alerts that were of our own
accord, whether equipment malfunction,
inadequate equipment design, or technology
infancy. Then there are some that probably
fall completely out of our hands, and its
interesting to note what was going on when
these occurred. As an example, in the mid
1970’s, European NATO countries were
reformulating defense policy. It made little
sense to have large numbers of ground troops
in the face of a nuclear threat from the USSR.
What really made sense both economically and
strategically, was to have Eastern Europe
defended by a theater of medium range nuclear
tipped missiles. The only problem was that the
location of the missiles only gave Moscow six
minutes response time. Comparing that with
what the US had left a clear imbalance.
Deployment of the Pershing II missiles began
in the early eighties. Many articles about
false alerts during this period indicate the
number of false alerts through 1985 is surely
in the thousands. This is difficult to verify.
Equally difficult to verify is the source of
these alerts. There are the same few
explanations repeated over and over. While
this accounts for a few, what of the rest? The
true depth of the issue of false nuclear
alerts is not explored or exposed for reasons
likely having to do with public confidence. If
UFO have had a role in keeping our defense
apparatus off balance with these staged
scenarios, who in the defense department would
ever admit this?
Going back to December of 1950, about a year
after Russia had detonated its first atomic
bomb, we had an alert that looked like Russian
bombers headed towards our Northeastern coast.
This was probably our first alert. The bombers
faded out on the radar screens before any
detrimental action was taken. Its interesting
to note that a year after the first detonation
would have provided the Russians enough time
to assemble the weapons and to get the bombers
ready for the task.
This is a difficult topic to get good data
on. But it would be consistent that UFO would
engage the US and the Soviets in such a
fashion. If anyone reading this is aware of
examples, please pass them along.
* Missile Wing Interference
(nondestructive and limited scope
demonstrations/warnings) -with missile launch
readiness or missile trajectory change, or
with test launches curtailing dummy warhead
trajectory, all demonstrating highly advanced
capability we are unable to anticipate and
design to. (Both US and USSR. What else do
they have up their sleeve?) At some
point we passed the line separating the
possibility and the probability of utilizing
ICBM weapons. This is a discussion worth
engaging in because it will likely reveal that
military and political will somehow changed in
the early 1960’s to elicit the bold UFO
activity experienced at the various missile
bases. It is no secret to most individuals who
have read the various publications discussing
military related UFO activity that launch
capability of limited numbers of missiles were
taken offline on a few occasions, and that
launch coordinates were altered at least
once.
There was also a test launch of an Atlas ICBM
with a dummy warhead out over the Pacific in
September of 1964 (Deliberate Deception: The
Big Sur UFO Filming – Bob Jacobs). This test
was filmed and, upon review of the film,
officials in the airforce found a disk
entering into the frames, circling the
warhead, shooting a laser like beam at four
separate locations on the warhead, and exiting
the frames. The dummy warhead then tumbled out
of its trajectory. There are many other
instances including an individual silo in
Russia where the controls indicated to the
operator for a harrowing 15 seconds that the
launch sequence was initiated and the missile
was about to launch. A massive UFO hovered
outside of the silo control facility. The top
officials were aware of this event. Why did
these kinds of activity occur? One assessment
is that we were being shown a superior
capability. For what purpose? Here are some
possible reasons:
Indicating to our military command that we do
not have the control over these assets that
would have to be in place in order to utilize
them.
Allowing that we may not know whether our
equipment is malfunctioning or that the source
is external.
Allowing that in a real scenario, we will not
have certainty that interference wouldn’t
occur again.
Uncertainty seems to play an important role.
With thousands of nuclear weapons ready to go
at any time and with the predictions of the
outcome uncertainty has no place. No permanent
damage was incurred by these activities and
our national security was minimally
compromised. The people at the top were well
aware of these events.
* Nuclear Military Exercises (US and
joint).
This is another category that is worth filling
in with some research. If pressure was being
applied using these other areas for
demonstration, likely nuclear exercises would
have had them as well.
* Nuclear Accidents (research,
reactor, weapons test, weapons lost, vessels
sunk).
There was one purported incident in Canada
where a small nuclear-tipped cruise missile
was fired from a US military aircraft at a
UFO, missing it, of course. Although that may
not be considered an accident, it is not
stated whether the missile was recovered after
the incident.
There were many occasions when bombs were
lost, nuclear submarines loaded with missiles
sank, and accidents occurred at nuclear fuel
processing plants and nuclear power plants. A
limited search for activity at Three Mile
Island in Pennsylvania turned up dry. There
may have been some related activity after the
event. It will take more work.
Chernobyl was a different case. UFO Activity
occurred prior to and after the accident
there. Readings before and after a sphere
descended over the facility just after the
accident indicated that the level in that area
had been reduced by over 2/3, according to
Paul Stonehill in “The Soviet UFO
Files”.
* Mining Raw Uranium – what better
place to make a statement than the
mines.
There is documented activity over uranium
mines in Africa. It is likely that data will
support mine-related sightings in Wyoming. And
here’s a fascinating event that occurred in
Texas:
The summer of 1971, I was working the night
shift for Conoco Oil Co. at an open pit
uranium mine west of Karnes City, Tx. I was
one of 6 people operating Caterpillar 657B
earth movers. We were down to about 210 feet
deep when this incident happened. It was about
11:10 PM , just after shift change we were
getting ready to crank our machines, when the
85 acre pit lit up as if it was daylight. The
light was so bright that I had to squint
because it hurt my eyes. I remember hearing a
high pitched hissing noise and the hair on my
arms stood on end. I was so scared, I fell to
the ground and started praying. I remember
trying to look up, but the light was so bright
I couldn't. After about 2 minutes, the light
started getting dimmer and I could finally
look up at it. What I saw amazed me. The
object was round and the bright light was
coming from the center of the bottom of the
UFO. Around the perimeter of the craft was
hundreds of penlight size light beams that
alternated in all colors of the spectrum. Now
I know they were laser beams. The UFO was
rising up slowly at first and then went
straight up out of sight in about 10 seconds.
I was crying and shaking and so was everyone
else. The other shift workers thought we were
crazy when we told them what had happened. But
we got the last laugh. This is how we proved
it actually happened. There is a vein of
uranium ore that runs from George West Texas
to almost Texarkana Texas. When determining
where to place a mine, the following steps are
accomplished: (1) A geologist with a geiger
counter flies over the area and finds the
highest radiation reading. (2) Drilling trucks
are sent out and core samples are drilled to
determine the highest concentration of uranium
ore. These core samples are drilled in a grid
pattern and every core sample is given a
tracking number and logged in showing the
concentration and amount of uranium present.
(3) The open pit mine is then laid out
according to these core samples. When this UFO
incident happened, we were about 2 feet away
from a layer of hard rock called the "tap
rock" that laid directly on top of the uranium
ore. The uranium ore varied in depth from 6 to
18 inches and had about the same brown color
as low grade coal. Two days after this
incident, the tap rock was removed to expose
the uranium ore. We were astounded to find
that the uranium ore was now a chalky white
substance that had NO radioactivity at all!
There was a 250 foot diameter circle of this
chalky material in the center of the pit.
Outside of the circle, the uranium ore was
still as potent as before the incident. Core
samples don't lie. This chalky material was
uranium before this incident. Many a night I
have laid in my bed thinking about what
happened. I think the UFO needed the uranium
for some reason.
NUFORC
Occurred : 6/15/1971 23:10 (Entered as :
6/15/71 23:10)
Reported : 5/27/1999 21:18
Posted : 6/23/1999
Location : Karnes County, TX
Shape : Circle UFO sighting over open pit
uranium mine.
Interpretation of this event is that a
demonstration was made regarding the use of
uranium. If UFO needed raw or processed
uranium, certainly given the advanced
capabilities displayed, they could have taken
as much as they wanted from any source. If
that were the intent you would see much more
of that kind of activity around these mines
and likely we would be dealing with losses at
facilities where processed material is stored,
which is simply not supported by the sighting
data available. In this case however what we
have is a known quality and quantity of raw
material that is days away from being
extracted. Right in front of the workers this
UFO comes down and renders the uranium
worthless in an area large enough to get
attention. There are no other events on
subsequent days. Just this one. This surely
got the attention of any engineering personnel
working on the project. It is likely that the
information was forwarded to the AEC or
another government agency. Another event was
probably noted by the government for its
specificity in dealing with nuclear
technology. The pressure was maintained.
* Weapons Component and Chemical
Manufacturing Facilities
There were likely events occurring over plants
that may have been involved in materials used
in processing weapons fuel. More work is
needed for this category.
* Weapons Dismantling Facility
(Pantex, Texas)
This should provide some recent activity if
they are monitoring our progress.
* Power Outage Events – conflict
related? Nuclear related? (Vietnam – many
events)
Is it possible that the power outage events
of the 1960’s and 1970’s were responses to
political/military actions? The many articles
and books indicate the immense depth of
political turmoil brought on by the Vietnam
War. The controversy over the courses of
action and the lack of a clear plan based on
sound intelligence and analysis brought the
public in on the political fray. These
sentiments were shared by the public of
allied countries as well. From the
controversial Tonkin Gulf Resolution (possible
UFO involvement in this incident) on we were
in over our heads. Documentation from several
government sources reveal that discussions to
utilize nuclear weapons came up on several
occasions. Early in 1965, President Johnson
had initiated a massive bombing campaign in
Vietnam that continued throughout the year.
What happened towards November of that year?
If indeed the Northeastern US power outage of
that year was initiated by UFO, what was the
message? What prompted that action? Was
Johnson initiating a nuclear option?
There were serious nuclear bomber training
missions from an aircraft carrier in the
Vietnam region the summer of that year. A
clear picture has not yet emerged and further
historical research is needed to look for the
correlative relationship. The other outage
events have to be evaluated as well.
* Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Japanese friends and associates have shed much
light on these events. It doesn’t take long
for the importance and horrific nature to set
in when you study them. While it is common
knowledge among some of those who were there
at the time of the bombing that UFO were
present weeks and perhaps months before and
after, there is little known evidence to
support this. After the bombing there were
efforts to study the affects by Americans from
many different disciplines. Film and camera
crews accompanied them documenting every
aspect of these affects. Included in the
photographic records are probably hundreds of
pictures and film footage of the UFO present
on a daily basis. While a few pictures are
posted on the Internet that appear to include
UFO, a more robust photographic record will be
needed to set the record straight.
Additionally, there are probably some written
accounts of the UFO surveillance. There can be
no doubt that there was much outward interest
and concern displayed during this unique and
horrific time in human history.
* Naval Nuclear Launch Submarines
Deployment of submarines is unique due to the
ability to close in to specific locations.
Many of these sightings involve UFO submerging
in and exiting the oceans.
* Treaties and Their Role
Is it possible that related UFO activity had a
small influence on treaties? It is hard to
ignore the distinct possibility that UFO have
pressured our governments indirectly.
