If there are advanced spacecraft why would they crash?
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Members of Congress have heard testimony about alleged UFO crashes and retrievals. The stories sound much like the plot of a sci-fi movie but are now being taken seriously in Washington.
Breakdown of the history of alleged UFO crashes
The question is, if there are advanced spacecraft from beyond, why would they crash?
April 18, 1962, an unknown object entered Earth’s atmosphere over Cuba, traveled up the East Coast, and then made an abrupt 45-degree left turn at New York. It blazed across the heart of the U.S., and was pursued by military jets that could not keep up, and then landed in a small town in Utah where it knocked out electricity, locals said, before taking off again. Somewhere over east-central Nevada, it exploded in a massive fireball seen all over the west.
“It’s a fantastic case involving, not only a few hundred witnesses, thousands of witnesses saw this thing as it traveled across the United States.” UFO Investigator and author Preston Dennett said.
According to an Air Force intelligence report, one military pilot who chased the object thought it was structured, not just a fireball, and that it was gasping and sputtering as it flew. The Air Force’s infamous Project Blue Book explained it away as a meteor, despite its highly unusual maneuvers.
In the early 2000s, Las Vegas was the annual host to a UFO crash conference, where the best-known investigators shared information about dozens of similar incidents. Ryan Wood was the conference organizer and wrote a book listing more than 70 possible UFO crashes.
“The best cases are the ones where we have multiple witnesses, some physical evidence, and multiple investigations by a variety of people over a long period of time,” Wood said.
Wood admits some of the tales might be disinformation or made up. Former Army Intelligence Col. John Alexander, himself a UFO investigator, expressed glaring doubt.
“It seems inconceivable to me that this hyper-advanced technology came a trillion miles to crash in our backyard once, let alone that this stuff keeps falling down,” Alexander said.
If these are advanced craft from another galaxy or dimension or century, why would they crash here?
Astrophysicist Dr. Jacques Vallee thinks an odd object that crashed in New Mexico in 1945 was knocked out of the sky by the Trinity Atomic Test.
“But you don’t hoax a flying avocado, weighing five tons, that is going to hit a communication tower, take it out of communication, and then land under power, and essentially, create an avenue the size of a football field, under power. What kind of hoax is that?” Dr. Vallee said.
In the spring of 1953, the Nevada Test Site was subjected to a massive atomic bombardment, the upshot knothole tests. Witnesses said they saw multiple UFOs observing the blasts.
In the same period, across the state line in Arizona, residents of Kingman reported seeing a bizarre aerial ballet involving multiple UFOs, almost as if they were in a dogfight. Three of the objects reportedly fell from the sky and were then scooped up by military units. Investigator Harry Drew thinks the craft was disrupted by an unusual and highly powerful radar array that was activated in Kingman.
“The retrieval team arrived just in time on May 22 when the red light craft was flying down the flyway from north to south ran through a corridor where high output high energy short bolts of microwave radiation was installed and operating. There were complaints locally about birds being killed and all kinds of things that happened,” Drew said.
Former government scientist Bob Lazar, who claimed in 1989 that he saw an array of nine bizarre E.T. craft in an underground facility near Area 51, said nearly all of them looked intact, not like anything that had crashed. He later speculated that some might have been acquired from archeological digs as if left behind long ago.
Lazar’s claims remain highly controversial, but our news reports about him and UFOs caught the attention of two men who would later have a profound influence on the hunt for UFO secrets and crash retrievals. One was a freshman U.S. senator named Harry Reid.
The other was Las Vegas billionaire Robert Bigelow, who subsequently created his research organization, NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science, advised by former intelligence officials, astronauts, and scientists.
After Reid was invited to a NIDS meeting, he was quietly hooked on the UFO subject. In 2007 Reid sponsored a secretive UFO investigation dubbed AAWSAP, overseen by the Defense Intelligence Agency and based within Bigelow Aerospace.
It became the largest acknowledged UFO program ever funded by the federal government. The DIA contract specified that Bigelow Aerospace needed to make special accommodations so it could receive unspecified special materials. AAWSAP personnel were informed that UFO crashes were real and that exotic technologies had been recovered, though those materials were never delivered.
At least two of the key players in AAWSAP were directly informed about crashed UFOs and where they might be stashed. When they tried to press the issue and asked to see the goods, alarm bells were set off and the program was shut down for good.
Harry Reid wasn’t the first Nevada senator to have an interest in UFOs and UFO crashes. One of his predecessors, four-term senator Howard Cannon, made his own inquiries years earlier.
There has never been definitive evidence put forward that proves there are aliens on Earth.
