Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: UNIDENTIFIED SUBMERGIBLE OBJECTS
One night in late June 1950, Romero Ernesto Suarez was walking along the coastal road between Rio Grande and San Sebastian in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, when he heard an unusual noise of turbulence in the sea. Because there was no wind or storm that could have given rise to such activity, Suarez became alarmed. Peering into the darkness in the direction of the noise, he saw suddenly a huge, luminous, oval-shaped object emerge from the sea about 500 metres from the shore. The craft ascended vertically to a certain altitude, made an abrupt 90-degree turn, then disappeared rapidly towards the northwest.
Fifteen days later, again at night, Suarez witnessed a similar occurrence, this time between Rio Gallegos and Santa Cruz. Four small, luminous domed discs emerged vertically from the sea in perfect formation, levelled, then flew up the coastline before turning in the direction of the Cordillera de los Andes.
Over the years, many sightings of what I call unidentified submergible objects (USOs) have been reported from the coast of Argentina and elsewhere, examples of which appear in subsequent chapters. Lieutenant Colonel Philip Corso, who served on President Eisenhower’s National Security Council staff and who once headed the US Army’s Office of Research and Development’s Foreign Technology desk at the Pentagon, confirms that USOs were of considerable concern to military authorities: Unidentified Submerged Objects [were] a worry in naval circles, particularly as war planners advanced strategies for protracted submarine warfare in the event of a first strike.
Whatever was flying circles around our jets since the 1950s, evading radar at our top-secret missile bases . . . could plunge right into the ocean . . . and surface halfway around the world without so much as leaving an underwater signature we could pick up. Were these USOs building bases at the bottom of the oceanic basins beyond the dive capacity of our best submarines . . .?
A BRIEF REPAIR STOP IN FRANCE
Another ‘repair’ case from 1950 is alleged to have taken place on the night of 23 (or 24) July, in Guyancourt, 20 kilometres from Paris, France. At about 23.00, Claude Blondeau, the proprietor of a small café, was taking some air before retiring to bed when he heard a slight noise ‘like the wind’. Turning, he noticed two greyish discs hovering just above the ground about 100 metres away.
Each disc had a row of rectangular ‘portholes’ that encircled the circumference. As Blondeau watched, a thick oval hatch opened in the bottom part of each disc. From each hatch emerged a ‘man’ of about 1.7 metres in height, dressed in dark-blue or brown ‘flying suits’. They wore no headgear and — as in the Facchini case — appeared quite like humans. Joining each other at one of the two discs, the men began to replace one of a number of ‘plates’ located on the underside of each disc. (A remarkably similar operation was also observed in the USA in 1964 — see Chapter 13). This replacement of a presumably defective unit was carried out with bare hands and without the aid of any tools
Although apprehensive, Blondeau approached the two pilots and asked if they had had to make a forced landing. ‘Yes, but not for long,’ one of them replied, in rather halting French. Through the open hatch, Blondeau had a brief view of the inside of the craft. A ‘formidable’ light filled the interior of the circular cabin, in the centre of which could be seen a chair, similar to a dentist’s chair, covered in red material. In front of the chair was something that looked like a radio transmitter with a number of buttons, and on a pillar was what appeared to be a large oval ‘steering wheel’ or control column with projecting handles at opposite sides. Other apparatus was visible on ‘blocks’ or ‘panels’ around the ‘control chair’.
Blondeau asked some questions about the purpose of the buttons on the control panels. ‘Energy!’ came the curt response. Without further comment, the men re- entered their respective discs, took their places and closed the hatches. The portholes became luminous and within seconds the two craft tilted up on end and accelerated upwards at very high speed, making the same wind-like noise as when they had first appeared. The entire incident lasted no more than two minutes.
