That’s right: we are talking about the termination of people who were perceived as potential untrustworthy whistle-blowers.
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
As for the specific files that John oversaw, he recalled that the earliest UFO-themed document he had had the opportunity to read dated from 1944, which is three years before the flying saucer phenomenon exploded on the world stage in the summer of 1947 in spectacular fashion. The document was prepared by a medical operative in the employ of the New Mexico-based Los Alamos Laboratory, where much of the top-secret work on the atomic bomb program went ahead—and that led to the atomic destruction of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the summer of 1945. The letter in question was sent to a senior officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was a forerunner of what would ultimately become the Central Intelligence Agency.
According to the letter, it was in the final stages of the Second World War that a team from Los Alamos was ordered by the OSS to undertake extensive tests on a group of “people” who were brought into the facility under careful, secret circumstances. The letter writer was deeply concerned on two fronts: first, the people were substantially different than the average human, and second, the man had significant suspicions that he and his team had been lied to regarding where the people came from. The story went that in the latter part of 1943, seventeen people were taken to Los Alamos—reportedly from various hospitals and asylums in the United States—to be used in controversial experimentation.
The staff members at Los Alamos, however, were no fools, and they were sure that the story that was told to them was nonsense. The main reason was because of the physical appearance of this strange band of individuals.
They were all short in size: none of them, male or female, exceeded five feet in height. They were all completely hairless and had huge, staring eyes. Not the eyes of people with thyroid conditions, which causes the eyes to bulge, but eyes that looked normal, except for their size. Similarly, the heads of the people were oversized, too, and all of them were brought into Los Alamos naked, which none of the staff could understand.
For three to four months, the team was directed to learn all they could about the odd-looking band of seventeen. Tests were undertaken on them to try to figure out what had caused almost a dozen and a half people all to display near- identical symptoms of a condition that no one could understand. Yes, the people had some superficial similarities to those affected by a very rare condition called progeria. It’s a condition that causes rapid aging—usually leading to those with the condition to die in their teens—but that was where the similarities ended.
This was not progeria, as much as the team had tried to convince themselves that this was the answer, and, of course, the fact remained that with progeria being such a rare condition, how on earth had the Office of Strategic Services managed to get their hands on so many sufferers? None of it made any sense.
Other issues deeply disturbed the Los Alamos team, too. The group walked in odd ways: their legs moved in robotic, jerky fashions. Plus, they never spoke —only ever making odd, barklike noises that scared the staff, even though they were trained to deal with just about any and all medical conditions under the sun.
The people were generally quiet, sitting together in the large room that had been prepared for them. When the time came for them to be separated, though—when various experiments were undertaken—the people became highly aggressive and made high-pitched wailing noises that were ear-splitting. The only way to prevent problems was to heavily sedate them.
