Another beautiful day in snowy, grey SW Ohio. Sigh. As I sit here and ponder the meaning of life and the events that have surrounded me these last few years, I find myself wondering if it was destiny that I ended up living near Wright-Patt AFB. I've always been fascinated by UFOs (have even seen a few weird things in the skies over Michigan growing up outside of Detroit), so I guess it was destiny that I moved to an area so important to UFOlogy.
When I moved here over 10 years ago, the stories of UFOs, Aliens, Hanger 18, the Roswell Crash, etc. were everywhere. Everyone in this area has an opinion about what supposedly has happened over the years (and what some say is currently happening) at Wright Patt. It is like a paranormal wonderland right in my backyard. Even TAPS filmed a Ghost Hunters epsidode here recently.
What intrigues me most about this place are the UFO and ET rumors. I believe I have seen UFOs here, but have written most of them off to experimental craft from the base or natural phenomena. But one event, back in 1999, still sits vividly in my memory and I cannot easily write it off....
One night after work, I was driving down route 444 near the base when a huge fireball passed in the sky above me. Now, I know the fireball could easily be explained as a meteor. Sure. But it wasn't just the fireball that intrigued me-- but an object I saw behind it. As I watched this majestic display, I saw a craft, shaped similarly to--and I know this sounds crazy-- one of the Star Wars Galactic Destroyers! It was triangular in shape--almost like a pyramid. It trailed behind the fireball for a minute or two then changed direction and vanished from my view. I spoke with other witnesses in the area, but only a couple of individuals saw the triangular craft like me. Most people were focused on the fireball and the possibility it could be a meteor and crash somewhere close.
Who knows what I saw? A meteor? Probably. But what about that 'craft' I saw behind it? An experimental AF craft? Maybe. A UFO tracking it? Maybe. Something shot out of that UFO? I don't know. I'll never know I guess. But one thing is certain...I saw SOMETHING. And at least one of those things wasn't 'right.' But I guess that is par-for-the-course in this area.
For those of you that don't know too much about Wright-Patterson and it's connection to UFOlogy, I have assembled some bulletin-points for you. There are many, many conspiracies, cover-ups, and interesting facts associated with the Base. Here are a few things to consider...
- Captain Edward Ruppelt while head of the U.S. Air Force's Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) "Project Bluebook", was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
- Wright-Patterson is believed to be a 24 hour Top Secret UFO monitoring and research station. Project Signs started here. (Before Project Bluebook and the MJ-12)
- After the July 2, 1947 crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, the wreckage of the craft was loaded onto a B-29 and shipped directly to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
- Wright Field (as it was formerly known) was the headquarters for the Air Materiel Command (AMC). General Nathan Twining was the Commanding General of the AMC back in 1947. He is also implicated as being one of the original "MJ-12" members.
- Gun camera film taken from F-86A Sabre jets in 1953-54 was later taken to Wright-Patterson AFB for evaluation.
- Colonel John Burnett was the Air Attache to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Pat in 1965 and met with a Captain Bruce Cathie, a New Zealand airline pilot who related to Burnett that he had discovered evidence for a "worldwide grid system used by UFOs". Burnett revealed to Cathie that intensive UFO research was going on there. In Cathie's second book he says the following..."The scientific laboratory there, set up for the purpose, was described as a complex of buildings covering a large area and staffed by many of the world's top scientists. Experimental work was carried out twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
- The crash of a 100ft in diameter saucer with 16 dead aliens aboard near Aztec, New Mexico in 1948, had its remains [allegedly] sent to Wright-Patterson shortly thereafter.
- In a book by Jean-Charles Fumoux in 1981 entitled "Preuves Scientifiques OVNI", the author relates how Leon B. Visse, an alleged expert on histons (elements connected with cellular genetic material) was invited in 1959 to a military compound at Wright-Patterson AFB, where he was asked to perform an experiment on the histonic weight of particular cells. Visse was later taken into a special room where he viewed two humanoid corpses.
- Leonard Stringfield contacted a former Navy test pilot known as "P.J.", who related the story of himself and several other Navy pilots coming across a saucer-shaped aircraft which was being guarded at Wright-Patterson AFB back in April 1962. He was puzzled by the lack of security since the object was not located in the test facility on the base.
- Tommy Blann, a researcher, interviewed a Colonel "X" who said, "In the earlier years they had taken some bodies to this base, but later it depended on where they were found. They had a hell of a time setting up procedures for this operation, as well as getting craft out of the area without it being observed. Usually this was done at nighttime." Colonel"X" also told Blann that he believed that in more recent years the bodies were flown outside the U.S. to a secret naval installation on an island in the Pacific.
- It was reported that Senator Barry Goldwater (AZ) was denied access into a building at Wright Patterson AFB because it was classified 'Above Top Secret'. Goldwater did say that he understood that a plan was underway to release all or part of this material sometime in the future. Although he didn't know what it was, he did say that he was aware of the rumors.
- A 'Top Secret' RB-57 Canberra that lost a wing (apparently to an engine explosion) soon after takeoff from Wright-Patterson. It landed in the parking lot at Beavercreek High School, near Xenia Ohio, doing no serious damage
