“The worry was that the North Koreans would believe that it was the Americans doing the hacking when it was really a hacker using their system.”
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
“We decided to get our phone number changed and applied to British Telecom for a new number. Well, they sent us a mandate that you sign and that gives you the details of your new number. In the meantime, this Chinese guy phoned again. My wife said, ‘Stop phoning. Anyway, we’re having our number changed.’ But he just said to her, ‘If you’re having it changed to [the new number], don’t bother because we already have it.’ We just thought: let’s move.
So, we got a new place under an assumed name. In fact, the only person who then managed to track me down was a guy from the Daily Mail newspaper, so then we moved again.” Was Bevan of the opinion that his daily activity was being monitored—by both U.S. and British authorities—at this critical time in his life? “Yeah, it didn’t surprise me at all. My barrister, in fact, had gone to court and spoke to the prosecution and told them to stop monitoring my calls.
They said they weren’t, but from the very next day, all the weird clicks, bleeps and noises we had been getting on the line suddenly stopped. I did find it all very sinister, though. When people got my number and I was getting calls from the Chinese military, I was genuinely concerned and that’s why I kept on the move.” Is Bevan, perhaps, of the opinion that both British and American authorities believed (and perhaps still do believe) that he had accessed additional data from the Wright-Patterson computer system on the strange, antigravity/heavy element system?
“Absolutely. Maybe the cops and Jim Hanson didn’t know—or maybe they did—but someone, somewhere, wanted to know what I had seen on the antigravity propulsion engine, simply out of worry. If I had been a spy it would have been even worse. I was told by Scotland Yard that if I ever set foot in America, I’m going to be arrested on sight.” Bearing in mind everything that he went through at the hands of Scotland Yard’s Computer Crimes Unit with the benefit of hindsight, would Bevan have still followed the same course of action? “What a good question.
Yeah. Probably. It’s done a lot for my career, I think. I now head a company called Tiger Computer Security and run a team of paid hackers. If someone—banks, finance houses and so on—wants to contract us, we will test their computer security via a brute force hack from outside; and if we get in, then we tell them how we got in and how to improve their system to prevent hacking from rival businesses, companies, et cetera.” What would Bevan say was his ultimate goal as a computer hacker? “It was really to try and get hold of the Roswell files, self-satisfaction, and the buzz and adrenaline of hacking a secret system.
Nothing more.” As all of the above shows, and regardless of the shrill cries of certain elements of ufology and of the scientific community, strong evidence supports the claims of Bob Lazar concerning heavy elements, antigravity propulsion systems, and a mysterious, split-level craft that could fly at extraordinary speeds —and all out at Area 51. The fact that U.S. intelligence displayed deep concerns over the Bevan affair is a clear indication that he was on to at least something and that Scotland Yard had received a classified briefing from U.S. computer scientist Kevin Ziese, which clearly prompted them to ask questions about that same antigravity-based technology and is indicative of the likelihood that someone, somewhere, feared that if Bevan really did have the goods, then the whole pack of cards just might have come tumbling down and Lazar’s claims would be vindicated. It didn’t quite go like that: the secrets of Area 51 remained secret—but only just—and the story is still not quite over.
Whitley Strieber, alien abductee and author of the best-selling book Communion, has a story to tell that may, in some way, be connected to the Bevan saga. In 1993, said Strieber, after having been given apparently classified information on where the U.S. government’s top-secret UFO data could be found, “Spooks started prowling around my neighborhood upstate. A business associate was accosted on an airplane by a group of young men who flashed badges, claimed to be with the National Security Agency, and questioned him about our activities for a couple of hours.”
Those same agents were reportedly looking at attempted illegal penetrations of Department of Defense computers. The fact that the DoD was concerned about Strieber, UFOs, and hacking in 1993—the very same year that Bevan began his hacking—suggests that more than a few people in the government were tracking the links between UFOs and hackers.
On August 7, 2013, NBC News ran an online article titled “New Superheavy Element 115 Is Confirmed.”
It may well have vindicated the claims of what both Lazar and Bevan uncovered. NBC stated: “Scientists say they’ve created a handful of atoms of the elusive element 115, which occupies a mysterious corner of the periodic table. The superheavy element has yet to be officially named, but it is temporarily called ununpentium, roughly based on the Latin and Greek words for the digits in its atomic number, 115.” The breakthrough was made by the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Germany.
