UFO Crash/Retrievals: Is the Cover-Up Lifting? LEONARD STRINGFIELD
Leonard Stringfield served in intelligence (S2) and counterintelligence with a unit in the 5th Air Force in the Southwest Pacific Theater for thirty-one months during World War II. During this period an aircraft he was flying in encountered three UFOs near lwo Jima, enroute to Japan.
He is the author of two books and a number of monographs on UFOs. Inside Saucer Post . . . 3-0 Blue (1957) reviewed, in part, his close liaison with the Air Defense Command of the U.S. Air Force, 1953-57 , screening and reporting UFO sightings.
Situation Red: The UFO Siege, was published by Doubleday & Company in 1977. Since then he has concentrated on UFO crash/retrievals, and is wide ly considered to be the leading authority on this most controversial aspect of the subject.
This chapter contains most of the information pri vately published in his Status Report V ( 1989). A full list of Mr. Stringfield’s status reports is given at the end of this chapter. Leonard Stringfield was formerly Director of Public Relations and Marketing Services for DuBois Chemicals, a division of Chemed Corporation. He retired in 1981 and lives in Cincinnati , Ohio.
Prologue
At the time of writing, many issues of controversy hang over UFO research. Some have caused bitter differences between team members; some can backfire and smear the image of objective research itself. In the middle zone, trying to avoid the “people” problems, I feel the urgent need to continue my probes into one basic issue-UFO crash/ retrievals.
In this endeavor, once we can see through the specter of disinformation and find convincing evidence-or proof-that UFOs are nuts-and-bolts vehicles with an alien crew aboard , I believe that serious researchers can then go forward to disregard all the other wispy issues and maybe even put a stop to the disruptive noises coming out of the woodwork from the far-out fringe .
Ideally, with the media supporting the demands for ‘ ‘bottom line’ ‘ facts from a strong phalanx of the scientific community, and perhaps some politicians, the UFO cover-up lid might melt or at least be lifted a little , allowing for some admissions and disclosures .
Confirming any one case of an alleged UFO crash and recovery-such as at Roswell, Aztec, Kingman, El Yunque, or even Brown County, Ohio-could, in itself, alarm the world public or even demolish some of its cherished traditions and philosophies. It could also lead to an eventual sharing of alien technologies-a new propulsion system for inner and outer space travel or new “metals” and many other marvels-and certainly it would bring public support for NASA and a bigger budget for vital space probes. More importantly, we might learn about the alien entities themselves; their intent for being here and an explanation for some of their incursive actions-to name one, abductions!
Even at this short-of-proof stage the UFO crash/retrieval (C/R) story, still unfolding , I believe, should be public information, unless it, and the full UFO story, is too exotically grim to tell. In that case , I reserve judgment.
Feeling confident, I submit new data, based on research and the cooperative work of others, for open review. Veritas vincit.
