Our research organization receives one or two letters each month on the topics of evolution, the 1947 Roswell incident and Area 51. In the past we avoided including subject matter that didn't fit in with the website's coverage. We added two of these subjects to separate web pages to represent all we have to say on the topics.
Area 51 exists. Before we devoted www.onealclan0.tripod.com/index.htm exclusively to its principal topic (The Bible Code), we carried a web page covering this most secret facility. Because, judging from the small volume of e-mail, so few visitors seemed interested, we dropped it after three months.
The base is located in a desolate area 140 miles north of Las Vegas. Its security is unmatched anywhere on earth but nothing is impenetrable. If you know whom to contact, a few serious investigators can take you to a site 26 miles away at the crest of a rise and watch what's going on from high powered telescopes.
The base comes alive at night with some amazing aircraft flying at fantastic speeds, doing what no known aircraft should be able to do. For years rumors have floated about an anti-gravity propulsion aircraft and the latest rumor is that the base in on the verge of developing a manned version. Reportedly a small unmanned version is already in the test phase, as "affirmed" by a number of private video cams by watchers. These unauthorized watchers with camcorders hang out in the surrounding desert, most often disguised as campers, and the Webmaster has reviewed a few of their e-mailed videos. Something is flying out of Area 51 that isn't seen anywhere else.
To become a contributing member of one of these investigative groups, you need a skill, like computer communications or advanced investigative experience. It seems to us that most members are financially independent retired men (many more men than women) who find it more exciting than, say, scouring the beach with a metal detector.
The radio chatter picked up by the investigators' scanners is by and large ordinary communications among the base's security agents. The security personnel who patrol the area around the base are tough. This private security force that doesn't have to worry about all those silly rules like civil rights and the Miranda warning. If unofficial intruders cross the line, they're toast.
The base's employees sign binding secrecy agreements. One former employee told an interviewer on a History Channel UFO Files' segment that employees who divulge illicit information can be terminated with extreme prejudice, a euphemism that translates to snuffing out a violator's life. Construction has increased a full 100% in the past decade. Although thousands have work here (judging from the cars in the parking lot beyond the gate and the planes full of employees flown in daily), no one has ever been known to talk about exactly what they did for a living. (One PhD physicist declared he was breaking the secrecy agreement on national TV a few years ago by revealing he worked in reverse engineering at the base on the crashed UFO from Roswell, NM. But the government claims they have no personnel records to confirm he ever worked at Area 51. On the other hand, the US government denies finding personnel records on almost everyone who claims to have ever worked here.)
Another downside to this extreme secrecy is that employees don't have workers' protection from OSHA and other oversight agencies. If you complain because you're working with toxic materials, you'll be fired and the feds won't pick up the medical tab if you're sick from the chemicals you're working with. They won't confirm that you ever worked there even if you take your personal injury case to court. And, of course, there's that little problem of staying alive if you complain to the media. Working here isn't like working anywhere else in the U.S. and you have less security, job protection and rights than military or civil service personnel.
Janet Airlines if the name of the air service that ferries Area 51 employees to and from Las Vegas each day. "Janet" is the spook-insider's joke for "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal (or transport.)" None of Janet's fleet has identification markings other than the federally mandated tail number on their planes. (All non-military aircraft are required by law to carry a small series of numbers near the aircraft's tail.) A private high-tech investigator with one of the unofficial investigating groups recently ran down a tail's ID and became the first private investigator to learn it's owned by EG&G, a large government contractor.
The base is operated under such secrecy that even your congressman or senator can't find out what its employees are working on, although he or she approves whatever funds the base officials claim they need. Area 51 has its own air force that operates separately and above the U.S. Air Force. Some investigators assert that it's doubtful even the President of the United States knows all that goes on at Area 51, allegedly to grant the President deniability for legal reasons. This was hinted at in a line used by a character in the movie, Independence Day.
Near the base is a popular bar, the Little AleInn (read, "alien"), known worldwide to UFO enthusiasts who believe that the two Roswell (New Mexico) UFO's (and their crew's bodies) that supposedly crashed in southeast New Mexico are studied here. The bar's owners are happy to share every story they know, and they know a lot. Some Area 51 employees drop in after work for a brew but you won't be able to get any information out of any of them.
In response to several website's visitors' e-mails over the past year concerning the Roswell incident, we finally visited Roswell, NM, during November 2004. The alleged UFO crash site is currently off limits to visitors, so we were unable to survey, dig or take photographs of the area. The community is modern and growing rapidly and is not the tiny cow town depicted in countless TV documentaries. Roswell's downtown International UFO Museum and Research Center is that area's best resource concerning the UFO/weather balloon controversy. The US Air Force maintains to this day that the crash was that of a weather balloon. We interviewed many Roswell residents - professionals, business owners and others - who disagree. Go to
http://onealclan0.tripod.com/travels_roswell.htm to read more about what we learned while there.
We have many official government documents concerning Unidentified Flying Objects. This is not an obsession of the Webmaster, but he undertook a study for a brief time at the request of readers. Whether you're a believer or not is irrelevant; the fact is that U.S. government agencies have been investigating UFO's since the Roswell incident in 1947. Although public officials deny they still investigate such incidents, official documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act disprove that claim. UFO's continue to be researched by scientists and technicians on US defense and intelligence payrolls, just as intelligence agencies collected information within the old USSR. Thanks to Roswell's downtown International UFO Museum and Research Center, and many helpful residents in Roswell, we found many formerly secret government documents from J. Edgar Hoover, Air Force investigators and pilots, and others through a myriad of channels, although it's often difficult to obtain some that aren't blacked out here and there, allegedly for security reasons.
Did you ever wonder why federal agencies maintained 57 years of secrecy concerning what is claimed to be nothing more than a weather balloon? Not even congressmen who attempted to obtain Army and other federal documents were allowed access to that information.
In 2000, the USAF (formerly the USAAF) claimed the silence was maintained because the crashed craft was a spy balloon and that the bodies reported from close range by many witnesses were really crash dummies or chimps used for early space research. Unfortunately for the USAF, reporters soon learned that crash dummies and chimps weren't used for space tests until the 1950's.
A local professional woman whose father worked at Roswell AAFB told us the Air Force claim make no sense whatsoever because spy planes at the time could do a far better job than any balloon. Congressmen have asked why an incident concerning a 57 year old weather or spy balloon was considered top secret for decades? The agencies' representatives replied that they were prohibited from responding for reasons of national security. Recently, supposed all documents were released for public research, but these papers immediately met a wall of suspicion because no mention was made in any of the Roswell AAFB daily reports concerning the balloon, its debris recovery or anything else unusual as occurring on that day, contrary to hundreds of eye-witness reports.
Military and civilian witnesses from that time claim they saw about 50 Army trucks and 200 soldiers cleaning up and retrieving the material from the crash site and transported in 3 large AAF transport planes from Roswell AAFB to Albuquerque, then to Los Alamos Laboratories for study. The destination from that location remains unknown. If all witnesses were lying, the small town of Roswell and its nearby military air field had more liars per capita than any other place on earth.
