Be careful what you ask for, you might end up with more than you bargained for!
Might I ask you (?) what have you found out through all of your research? I’m very interested to know what you really think.
Well it all started when I was 11 years old and having a sleepover at my friends house by the pool watching the night sky.
In later years I got frustrated try to describe it for people because mere words do not do it justice. So the very first video I learned to make about 15 years ago was an animation showing what our encounter was like -
...and so my research career was born. During the last 50 years I've lost count of the thousands of miles I have flown or driven to interview people and film areas of interest.
I am lucky I have to ablilty to speed read with full retention so through the years until about 2K I managed to read anything ever printed about UFOs.
I finally hit the jackpot in 1991 when I travelled out to Area 51 at night got to see Saucer shaped craft with gravity propulsion being test flown by our pilots.
I was spotted by security filming the craft and they called it in and within about 45 seconds the guard shack on the hill set off a bright orange 3 stage flare. Immediately all 3 craft landed on the ground where they happened to be at the moment.
I sat there wondering "Uh oh, now what?" Pretty shortly a pair of headlights coming from the guard shack were heading my way up mailbox road.
I had 2 choices - Wait around and see what the nice man wanted OR get the hell out of Dodge!
I chose the latter and after a harrowing escape I managed to get out of there with my footage.
Since then I have always known Bob Lazar was telling the truth.
2nd Jackpot was when my cohorts and I brought Stanton Friedman to town for a lecture. I was his driver for the week as went around doing publicity for the event and I took the opportunity to grill him on everything he knew about Roswell.
He also mentioned to me that the 2 weeks in between the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the Roswell crash there were a lot of Saucer sightings reported in the press, with most of them occuring right here in the NW, and that I should go down to library and go through the microfiche files of the newspapers of the the day.
I did so and BINGO! Daily headlines including
PORTLAND POLICE SEE DISCS SAIL!
That began my database of newspaper UFO sightings which lasted almost the entire year and all across the country.
At last count I had 1200+ sightings.
My cohorts and I assisted Kevin Randle & Don Schmitt while they were writing their 2 Roswell books by going out and interviewing witnesses in our area.
So yeah my girlfriend was right when she said "You are pretty obsessed with those things huh"
So those were my 2 main jackpot moments.
P.S. I think Aliens have been observing us for a long time.
