Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies

It scarcely needs mentioning that even if this is all true, it was impossible that a group of four or five surgically altered children could successfully fly such an advanced aircraft—of a flying saucerlike design—all the way from the Soviet Union to the United States, land the craft and exit it, and give the United States. the impression of an alien landing in New Mexico. Such a thing would be utterly absurd to even imagine. Alfred O’Donnell claimed to have the answer to this part of the story. He said that what came down outside of Roswell in the summer of 1947 was, in essence, a dronelike aircraft that was remotely piloted by another Russian–German craft. As for that other craft, O’Donnell claimed it
came down somewhere in Alaska.

That, at least, makes the story a bit more plausible, namely, that the altered children had no role other than to be placed into the aircraft, then flown remotely to New Mexico, and upon landing, exit the craft and put the fear of God—or, even better, of extraterrestrials—into the U.S. government, but something went wrong, said O’Donnell, when the aircraft crashed on the huge Foster Ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico, in early July 1947. The result was that rather than falling into states of fear, confusion, and hysteria, the U.S. government quickly recovered the remains of the craft and the bodies and whisked them away to what today is the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. All of the materials, the bodies, and two survivors, reportedly, remained at Wright-Patterson until 1951. It was in that year, said O’Donnell, that all of the materials and the children—and their remains—were secretly transferred to the Nevada Test and Training Site for new studies.

The technology was so advanced, and quite unlike anything that the United States was flying at the time, that it baffled and worried the best scientists and engineers at the NT&T. Seeing the altered children for the first time—maybe every time—was traumatic and stomach churning, and so began a series of top- secret experiments in the field of saucer-shaped flying craft—which may still be going on to this very day. If the words of Bob Lazar are valid, then such experimentation was at least still afoot in the latter part of the 1980s.
No one disputes that something strange happened at Roswell in the summer of 1947. The Air Force has come up with no fewer than four explanations. In July 1947, the official line was that a “flying disc,” as they were known in the early days of UFO lore, had indeed been recovered by the U.S. military. Well, it was the official line for just about twenty-four hours. By the next day, the military changed its tune, claiming that nothing stranger than a weather balloon was recovered.

In 1994, the Air Force came up with another theory: that the legend wasn’t created by a weather balloon but by a Mogul balloon—a huge array of balloons designed to monitor for secret, Russian atom bomb tests—but what about the small, humanoid bodies that people claimed to have seen? The Air Force said that since Mogul balloons didn’t have crews, no bodies could have been recovered. Three years later, though, the Air Force changed its approach to Roswell yet again. That’s four explanations. In 1997, the Pentagon announced that, yes, bodies were found, but they were nothing stranger than crash-test dummies used in high-altitude, parachute-based experiments, and that’s where the Air Force stands today on all of this: dummies and balloons.

Many UFO researchers believe that all of the theories for Roswell made by the Air Force—apart from the first explanation, a flying disc—amount to nothing but disinformation. In light of that, it’s reasonable to ask: is it possible that Annie Jacobsen was fed a fabricated tale of child victims and Nazi-based flying saucers essentially to keep her away from an extraterrestrial answer to the puzzle? Considering that the U.S. government has taken no fewer than four stances on Roswell, it’s logical to assume that other attempts to fog the truth just might have been implemented. Maybe the Stalin–Mengele story was yet another carefully crafted cover story.

Then there is the matter of John, who worked out at Area 51 in the early 1970s. He—just like Alfred O’Donnell—had heard of the story of a Soviet hoax using altered children being responsible for the origin and development of the Roswell legend. Certainly, John cannot be accused of using O’Donnell’s story as a means to bolster his. For example, Annie Jacobsen’s book didn’t surface until 2011. I interviewed John on January 4, 2006, and within a few weeks of that interview, I had shared my Word document of the complete interview with John with the father–son team of UFO researchers Dr. Robert Wood and Ryan Wood.

Of equal importance, I published some portions of John’s story a year before Jacobsen’s book was published.

In a 2006 report I prepared for the Woods on all of this, I wrote: “John stressed that although the documentation at issue certainly looked genuine, he was never able to entirely dismiss from his mind the possibility that his exposure to the files could have been a part of some large and very curious and convoluted mind game on the part of NASA and the intelligence services, such as the CIA, Air Force Intelligence, and the National Security Agency. John speculated that his bosses may have exposed him to totally bogus materials at Area 51, and then watched his every move to see if he spoke out of turn, and to those without security clearances.

The fact that John never did speak out of turn in that twelve- month period, and was thereafter considered utterly trustworthy, led him to be rewarded with a near decade long career in the private security sector. It was a career that saw him move, practically effortlessly, within highly influential circles in the world of U.S. Intelligence that were totally unconnected to UFOs.” I added this to the Woods’ report later in 2006: “John did assert that there was a brief collection of documents dating from July 1947 speculating that this might have all been the result of a very ingenious hoax on the part of the Soviets [italics mine]—until, that is, it very quickly became acutely apparent to one and all that not even the Soviet Union would have had the required expertise to successfully pull off such a fantastic ruse, much less biologically alter, or mutate, a number of human beings into something very different.”

The important thing here is that both John and O’Donnell heard the very same story while they had reason to be at Area 51. Clearly, they were both given the same account. They may have even read the very same files: O’Donnell in the post-1951 era and John approximately two decades later—but now, we come to the most important aspect of all this.

You will recall that John—initially, at least—was extremely excited, blown away, one might say, by the incredible content of the old documents that he was given access to, which included data on the “Soviet hoax” angle, but over time and bit by bit, John came to doubt the veracity and accuracy of the files. He eventually came around to the theory that what he had actually read were fabricated files, possibly created as a kind of loyalty test—to see if John ran to the offices of the New York Times or of the Washington Post, and, in the process, spilled the beans—but John didn’t do that: he stayed quiet and was, as a result, rewarded as a loyal, trustworthy employee who was offered a number of well- received jobs in the intelligence world.
