The Black World of UFOs: Exempt from Disclosure (15 page)

     As he approached the object on foot armed with a shotgun the object took off in a vertical direction at a high rate of speed. The guard, a former helicopter mechanic in the Army, stated that the object was not a helicopter.” After receiving this information I briefed the commander. I was then instructed to make a report, classify it “Secret” and forward the message to Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations (PJ), Washington, DC.

     On September second, 1980 the Commander of the 1608th  Security Police Squadron, Manzano Base and Kirtland AFB related the following: “On August 8th 1980 three Security Policemen assigned to his squadron while on duty inside Manzano Weapons Storage Area sighted a UFO in the skies over Coyote Canyon (Figures 12a, b).”

     This sighting corresponded to the sighting made by the Sandia Security Guard. Because of this sighting base officials were extremely interested in the activity over Coyote Canyon.  I completed an AFOSI Form 1, Complaint Form (Figures 13a, b), documenting my initial investigation and forwarded it to OSI headquarters. 

     A few days after OSI headquarters received the report, two OSI agents from the Special Projects Branch of the AFOSI (PJ) (Special Projects) arrived on base. They began an investigation into the sightings. Shortly after their arrival, three employees of the National Security Agency (NSA) arrived at Kirtland to conduct the follow-up investigation into the sightings.

     I worked closely with these individuals (both NSA and PJ). After a month at Kirtland, both agencies PJ and NSA concluded the sightings were legitimate and worth further analysis. Both the NSA and PJ agents made a detailed report. I saw a draft of this report in November 1980, but that was the last and only time.

Two years later while at headquarters OSI, I asked to see a copy of the report but was told it was not available. Later, I talked to one of the PJ agents who investigated the incident at Kirtland. I asked him to see a copy of the report he had filed. He was told that NSA took his report and he has not seen it since.

     Now, back tracking to October 1980, during the investigation of the Coyote Canyon sightings, a NSA agent advised that a Paul Bennewitz who resided in the Four Hills Housing Area directly north of Manzano Base outside the perimeter was directing electronic signals toward Manzano Base.

    The NSA agent asked me to check into Bennewitz’s activity. I did some preliminary investigation and determined that Paul Bennewitz was a friend of the commander of the 1608th Security Police Squadron, the original source of the sightings over Coyote Canyon. I asked the commander to speak to Bennewitz and find out what he was up to. This way Bennewitz would think the commander (his friend) was making inquiries instead of the NSA. NSA wanted to stay out of the initial contact with Bennewitz. The commander spoke with Bennewitz and obtained the basic information regarding Bennewitz’s research.

     When I briefed headquarters on Bennewitz, they immediately wanted me to visit Mr. Bennewitz’s home, take photographs and determine whether further investigation of Bennewitz was warranted. Headquarters, specifically the PJ branch, suggested I take along UFO expert Jerry Miller. Miller was a staff intelligence officer with the Air Force Operation Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC), Kirtland AFB. Miller was a former Project Blue Book investigator. I had met Mr. Miller earlier in 1980 during a special security briefing. Miller had a vast amount of knowledge regarding UFOs. Since headquarters suggested that I use Miller, I assumed that Miller was well known throughout the intelligence community.

     On October 26th 1980, Miller and I visited Bennewitz at his home. Bennewitz showed some film of aerial objects flying over and around Manzano and still photographs of UFOs filmed over northern New Mexico. We viewed electronic equipment at Bennewitz’s house, which was aimed at Manzano. I covertly photographed all his equipment including some of his still photographs. I also photographed the interior of Bennewitz’s home at the request of NSA. I assumed that NSA had further plans for Bennewitz. The meeting we had was just one of many over the next year.

     After analyzing the material information obtained from Bennewitz, base officials became very interested. The base commander and the Director of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory wanted a meeting with Bennewitz which occurred on November 10th 1980. The meeting, which was taped recorded, was attended by a number of base officials and scientific personnel. After the meeting, several base officials decided to continue an independent scientific investigation of Bennewitz to analyze the information he presented. I was not privy to that investigation since it involved purely scientific personnel. To this day, I have no knowledge of what the scientific investigation disclosed.

The Real Face on Mars?

What the reader sees in the image (Figure 14) is a picture of a wooden “mask:” Pictures of this “wooden mask” came from Bill Moore in 1994 who received the actual mask from Gordon Liddy’s agent Jim Amaresco.

     The bottom half of the picture shows what has been determined to be “National Security Agency” (NSA) and USAF labels on the lower back bottom of the wooden mask or, “NSA #731” and “USAF-DoD SK (SIC?) 557 or 237” (note, this is even harder to read on a .jpg image). 

     As Rick Doty said, “the reason NSA had it is because this same face appeared in a figure photographed on the Martian surface in 1978.

     This same face (and similar impression) was photographed on the ground ~300 miles northeast of the other Hoagland ‘mesa’ face”...

The New Paris Ohio Case and Los Alamos, 1989 & 1993

In the spring of 1993, I assisted in the evaluation of tape recordings which involved a reported Alien abduction case in New Paris, OH. By this time, I had been long retired from the Air Force, but having never lost contact with my LANL sources, we were able to set up a testing session. This involved an LANL contractor assisted by a sub-contractor.  There was another person named “Raven.“ This is not the same Raven that Jaime Shandera talks about in the Raven Addendum. The evaluation was performed on tape recordings made in 1989 as well as in 1993. What follows is a synopsis of what was analyzed.

     Bizarre metallic phone recordings made in the winter/spring of 1989 and the spring of 1993. All of the recordings were made by Connie Fisher or Robert Collins. Recordings were made using either a regular or micro-cassette recorder.

     Both a government acoustics contractor and government acoustics expert sat down, listened, and then evaluated the tapes. Then they gave their independent analysis and compared notes. Here is a synopsis of what they found:

1) Sounds generated then transmitted; sounds not generated by phone; sounds came through a phone line, all sounds were machine generated.

2) Robert Collins did not generate those sounds.

3) Connie’s true voice was her true voice. The “other” Connie voice was a reverb machine voice. When they filtered out the “reverb voice” the voices were the same. Voiceprints from the two tapes showed similar voices or same voice.
