1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,840
Major Kehoe, just what are the functions and duties of the Natural Investigations Committee

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,040
on aerial phenomena?

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,920
Our committee investigates all factual reports, sightings of these unknown objects, submits

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,560
them to our scientific advisors, and when we can reach a definite conclusion, we make

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,560
the conclusion public.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,480
Our attempt is to inform the public everything that can be told them without violating security.

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,480
Now this information involves somewhat the flying saucer reports that have spread across

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,120
the country and around the world.

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,120
That's right.

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440
That's a bad name, but it is here, so we have to accept it.

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,520
We use the word the Air Force uses, the term UFO or Unidentified Flying Autism.

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,400
Well have these objects resembled a flying saucer?

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,480
Is that why they reached that name?

14
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:55,320
The majority of reports and the Air Force agrees on that are disc shaped objects, which

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,040
have a diameter about one tenth out of their thickness, and they've been reported up in

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
sizes over 300 feet in diameter.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,280
When was the first one sighted?

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,760
During World War II, there were hundreds of reports of disc or rocket shaped objects

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,400
by our pilots over in Germany and on the bombing routes to Japan.

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Nobody used the word flying saucers then.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,280
They thought they were foreign devices and we found out later that they thought they

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,280
were ours.

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,240
The mystery never was cleared up, but those were the first official sightings.

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,000
Have there ever been any actions from these unidentified objects such as shootings or

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
incidents of any kind?

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
No, there's no proven hostilities.

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,720
There have been three cases where planes have disappeared chasing these objects.

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,320
One captain, Mantell, was killed back in 1948 chasing one of these saucers and the Air Force

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,360
stated this and later suggested several answers, but they never did have a conclusion.

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Does the Air Force work in cooperation with your committee in locating these things and

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,920
reporting on them?

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Not officially.

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,880
The Air Force policy, which has been set long ago, is to keep most of the facts undercover

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,880
until they have all the answers.

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,720
We don't like the policy, but in many of the times we find that people in the Air Force

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,520
don't like it either, but it's set and therefore they have to carry it out.

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,360
We do get information from many people in the Air Force and also retired and reserve

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,680
Air Force soldiers who are trying to get the truth for the public.

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,720
Have more of these unidentified objects been sighted now in the current time as compared

40
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,720
to years ago?

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,720
They vary.

42
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,680
Right now there is a slight increase in sightings.

43
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Most of these don't get into the newspapers or on the air, so there is an impression that

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,560
there is complete law.

45
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Actually there have been some very important sightings recently.

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,800
They continue regularly all the time?

47
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
That's right.

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,800
They kept on ever since World War II.

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,800
There have been big increases several years ago which did get into the papers on the air,

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,800
but after the Air Force set its new policy of closing up the files.

51
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Actually you don't get them so many times.

52
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,920
There is one recently, for instance over the Pacific, where two commercial jet liners,

53
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,920
one of them is Pan American and the other British overseas crew, sighted a gigantic

54
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,920
object, round object, apparently with an open space in the center like the planned space

55
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,920
base suggested by Von Braun years ago, which of course we are just simply talking about.

56
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,920
This thing moves so fast that it was over the horizon in a matter of minutes.

57
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,040
It was also sighted and reported and confirmed by the Navy, sighted by a ship in the same

58
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,040
area.

59
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:53,040
So here we have this apparently huge space base which was investigating our globe at

60
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040
that time on September 21st.

61
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,040
October 30th out in Utah in broad daylight, its smaller disk shape was seen by about eight

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,040
pilots, a number of people on the ground and was sued by one pilot over Provo Airport.

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Down in Venezuela recently there was a sighting where a number of fishermen saw this thing

64
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,160
and they were so terrified by it they all jumped over there, both inside the swimmish

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160
shore, one man was drowned.

66
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,160
There's been quite a lot of fear of these things which has been built up because of

67
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,160
the secrecy.

68
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,160
Are there any conclusions to just where these machines are coming from?

69
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160
We're not going to draw on any definite conclusion.

70
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,160
However, it is interesting that every time Mars approaches the Earth there is a noticeable

71
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,640
increase in sighting.

72
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,640
So this has happened since 1948.

73
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Now that doesn't mean that they are based on Mars although it indicates they may be.

74
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,240
Possibly there is a base, maybe they originate from Mars, we don't know.

75
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,240
What about seeing actual persons or beings aboard?

76
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Has this ever been done?

77
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Of course there have been many wild tales of people who claim that things have talked

78
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:05,080
with spacemen who came down and stepped out of flying saucers but we know of only one

79
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,640
or two cases where we accept there is authentic where they saw some kind of creature.

80
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,560
These creatures were simply seen vaguely, some kind of movement behind the ports or

81
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,560
control panels.

82
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,760
And as far as we know they are simply told the creatures of intelligence and interest

83
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,200
in this planet and so on and that's as much information as we have.

84
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,800
But they haven't made any official contact or tried to?

85
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,160
They have been several brief landings where they have touched down, that is as contrasted

86
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,480
with these wild claims, that they have touched down and the ground has been found radioactive

87
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880
where they rested on the ground for a few moments.

88
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,200
I don't think we have any proof of any of these beings ever came out during those landings.

89
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,520
I'd like to ask you some more questions Major Kehoe and so I'll continue with my capital

90
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,760
assignment in just one minute.

91
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:05,520
Major Kehoe, these unidentified objects that have been seen and cited and reported on are

92
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,280
reports coming in from overseas anywhere that they also are seeing them and are there stories

93
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,880
as to what they look like?

94
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,280
Are they the same as our stories?

95
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:15,280
Do they compare?

96
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,720
Yes they do, they are practically the same.

97
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,880
They have been reports by the armed forces in most foreign countries and the airline

98
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960
pilots, astronomers, missile trackers and so on.

99
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,040
Discs and rocket shaped devices.

100
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,320
In one case an RAF pilot in broad daylight cited a disc shaped object that was coming

101
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,120
at him head on and he just barely missed it.

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,000
The object was also seen by pilots and other jets in the same area.

103
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Down in Brazil a few years ago an airliner flew right into the middle of a formation

104
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,240
of discs about 19 of them.

105
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
They were estimated by the pilots as being about 100 feet in diameter.

106
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,240
This close proximity scared almost all the passengers and for a moment everybody was

107
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,360
running wild in the ship or they could be quieted down.

108
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,440
These objects then do fly in numbers not just one is that right?

109
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,360
They've been reported in many times in formations.

110
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,960
They've been reported in T and V formations, echelons and changing from one to the other.

111
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:22,800
For instance from a circle to a line formation giving absolute proof of intelligent control.

112
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,200
How about actual speeds?

113
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Have there been any estimates as to just how fast they can travel?

114
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Well they were tracked out of White Sands at the proving ground.

115
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,960
One object that was tracked at 18,000 miles an hour.

116
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:42,520
Now that was by theodolite and four Navy scientists saw this object and they tracked it very carefully.

117
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,960
There have been other tracking by radar and visual also.

118
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Now the Air Force for instance one night over the Gulf of Mexico a crew of B-29 bombers

119
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,600
tracked several small objects moving at about 5,240 miles an hour.

120
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,120
They tracked them by top watch.

121
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,200
They were seen off to one side by crewmen looking out the blister windows.

122
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Later a very large object appeared on the radar scope and one of these formations joined

123
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,800
this object or merged with it or taken aboard and then this huge machine speeded up and

124
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,960
went off the scope at about 9,000 miles an hour.

125
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,760
That's an official Air Force intelligence report.

126
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,320
Is there any report of this from the Northern Headquarters in Colorado?

127
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Do they report on this?

128
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,560
They report what they call unknowns.

129
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,080
Unknowns can be anything from an unknown aircraft to some phenomena, something like that.

130
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,200
There have been UFO reports many times.

131
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,840
We've been told that by Air Force officers for instance the Captain Edmund Jerome who

132
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,800
recently retired and was an intelligence officer as well as a command pilot says that several

133
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,320
times there were cases reported by a distant early warning system where they picked them

134
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,600
up by radar and they were moving in such fantastic speeds that it couldn't possibly be anything

135
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Russian and these were of course sent right on to intelligence but they were never made

136
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,240
public.

137
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Has there been any ideas to what makes them move?

138
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,760
What type of power?

139
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Well that's speculation again.

140
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:18,520
Now Professor Herman Overth, the great rocket designer, the father of space travel has suggested

141
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,320
that they are using a force which has an artificial gravity field.

142
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,760
In other words they can move through our atmosphere without heating up or breaking the sound barrier

143
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,040
and causing a boom.

144
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,680
But what causes the power itself, he doesn't say, it could be cosmic rays, it could be

145
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:41,680
nuclear power and since they have been radioactive where they touch now, at least some of them,

146
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:45,480
a few of them at least, must use nuclear power.

147
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,080
But they may have some other power outside of our atmosphere which we don't even know

148
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,080
about.

149
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Do our scientists, and by that I mean scientists all over the earth, feel that these machines

150
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,160
are able or is it possible for them to move around without breaking the sound barrier?

151
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:05,040
Obviously there have been a number of them that have agreed with Overth on that same

152
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,640
theory that if they have an artificial gravity field that would cause them to carry a small

153
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,000
cushion of air, just as the earth takes its atmosphere with it, around which keeps them

154
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,400
from heating up, they can go up to any speed as far as their power would permit.

155
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:26,720
Quite a number of scientists have said that we should do a more careful investigation.

156
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,800
For instance, Professor Charles King Oliver, the President of the American Reader Society,

157
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,680
recently said in a book, Challenge of Unidentified Flying Augies, that the subject of UFOs is

158
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:43,560
one which should be studied scientifically, which it has not been due to suppression of

159
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:49,200
pertinent data and also to subjecting reports of trained and reputable people to ridicule.

160
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,960
Well that's the feeling held by quite a number of scientists who will help us privately,

161
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040
but they don't want to be ridiculed either.

162
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:03,040
So I feel that before very long they will come out and probably join in a body and make

163
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,480
this recommendation to Congress or the airport.

164
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Well is there any explanation or any idea as to why these objects have not revealed

165
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,400
themselves as far as making official contact with people, letting them know why they are

166
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:27,040
here, what they are doing, if this has been going on for so many years, has it been considered

167
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,360
strange that they have never done anything to make any contact at all this time?

168
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,320
That is the usual question, one of the big ones.

169
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,560
There are several reasons why they might not, and one of them might be that they are afraid

170
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:43,680
of coming out on this planet where they are not immune to our diseases.

171
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:48,360
We've recently given a lot of thought to our landing on other planets and worrying about

172
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,960
diseases there.

173
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Our gravity may be entirely different from theirs, which would make it difficult to put

174
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,800
them in the maneuver around.

175
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,120
They still may not be able to understand us.

176
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,880
First, if they might be monitoring our broadcast, perhaps they can't.

177
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,400
They may have a lot of problems to solve about contacting us.

178
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,600
And also, since we chase them and shoot at them frequently, and we chase them, the airport

179
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,640
must chase any unidentified flying object like that by standing orders, they probably

180
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,920
fear that they won't get a very good reception.

181
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,280
But it looks as though they are trying to prepare for eventual communication and probably

182
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,280
landing to.

183
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Do you feel that the fact that they have a machine that can move at such tremendous

184
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,480
speeds and do so many things that we cannot do is yet an indication that they are much,

185
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,880
much advanced over the Earth?

186
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,080
Yes, I think that's fairly obvious.

187
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,520
A number of scientists and others have said the same thing.

188
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,560
They must be, for instance, Professor Harlow Shappley, the former director of Harvard Observatory,

189
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:58,200
said there must be at least 100 million in the planets that are populated, and many of

190
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,440
them would have races far ahead of us.

191
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,560
And since then, well, dozens of top astronomers have said the same thing.

192
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:10,440
Majority leader of the House of Congress, and probably be our next speaker, McCormick,

193
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,040
has said that he told me the same thing.

194
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,040
We were discussing this.

195
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
He said that he believed that a number of these reports couldn't be explained.

196
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,280
There was something going on, and probably should be told the facts, whether or not the

197
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,680
open or closed hearings hadn't been decided.

198
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,680
But he said that it seemed that if they were true, they must be intelligent as far ahead

199
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:29,680
of us.

200
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,760
I'd like to ask you some more questions, Major Kehoe.

201
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,480
And so I'll continue with my capital assignment in just one minute.

202
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,440
There's been some reports lately about the project the Air Force has been undertaking

203
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,000
regarding, as it was termed, the flying saucer.

204
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,760
What connections does this flying saucer have with the unidentified objects, if any?

205
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:55,640
Well, that is the Avril project, which was started five or six years ago when the Air

206
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Force took it over from the Canadians.

207
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,800
And they were trying to design a round device, a typical flying saucer, which would fly on

208
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,800
jet power.

209
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,440
However, they had been trying for some time to force down some of these objects so that

210
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,240
they could duplicate the propulsion system.

211
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,120
The Avril was an intermediate step.

212
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,600
They tried all these years, and finally they gave it up because the best they could do

213
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,680
was get it about 15 or 20 feet off the ground.

214
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,760
So after spending approximately $10 million on it, they abandoned it.

215
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Do you think they'll continue this at a later date?

216
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,040
No, I don't think so.

217
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,200
They've given it everything they had on that particular approach.

218
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Now, if they can find the secret of the propulsion of these UFOs, then they certainly will.

219
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,640
And they're still trying that.

220
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,320
They're trying artificial gravity.

221
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,320
There are about 25 of them in this country, some of them official and some of them in

222
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,000
private industry, to get the secret of gravity control.

223
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,240
Will there be any benefit in trying to build a vehicle of our own or a spacecraft that

224
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,720
could move at such an outstanding speed that might overcome one of these things to capture

225
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,720
it?

226
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Well, I should think so.

227
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,720
We had an awful record statement from one Air Force career officer who said that it

228
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,960
would be the greatest thing in the world.

229
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,920
The Air Force could get one of these in its hands and find out all the secrets.

230
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,720
Providing Russia didn't do it at the same time, we would be very quickly ahead of it.

231
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Not only here on Earth, but of course in our space exploration.

232
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,000
All these lead ports have been from people and the Air Force that there are unidentified

233
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,280
objects and they all agree that they are shaped the same and what have you.

234
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,560
Do any of these objects have special windows or do they have any portholes?

235
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Have they ever been seen that closely?

236
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,360
They could re-describe it right to detail.

237
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,520
Yes, some of them have been seen close enough to get a fairly good picture.

238
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:49,040
The captain child of Eastern Airlines and his co-pilot, Captain Whitehead, sighted one

239
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,200
of these objects of projectile type approaching them on an airway and it veered at the last

240
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,680
second and they were put to one side and they said it had two rows of ports so which they

241
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,040
could see blue fluorescent light and it had to look like a radar snout or a pole up on

242
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,360
the nose and some type of exhaust similar to jet propulsion.

243
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400
It turns so sharply that the blast rocked this airliner.

244
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,040
There have been two or three other cases where men of this pilot described the same type

245
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,640
of thing with windows or ports.

246
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Now the discs often get a report of lighted openings around the edges whether that is

247
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,200
exhaust opening or observation port I don't know.

248
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,480
All of these discs have also been reported with small turret or dome effects on top.

249
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,440
And one report we had recently where one of the witnesses was so frightened that he practically

250
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:46,400
blacked out was of the openings in the forward part of this disc as it came down hovered over

251
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,120
the car through which he could see figures moving apparently looking down at them.

252
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,120
So in that one at least there were witnesses.

253
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Well then your committee is definitely assured that these objects do exist.

254
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,480
There's no doubt in your mind about that.

255
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:09,360
In the majority of mind yes our board of governors and advisors have evaluated these many sightings

256
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:13,760
of massive evidence and have concluded the majority has concluded that the objects are

257
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:19,320
real they are under intelligent control superior to anything we have and they come from an

258
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,320
unknown source.

259
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,920
One of the board members who gave that opinion was Vice Admiral R. H. Hill and got her form

260
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,440
ahead of central intelligence agency.

261
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,640
A number of airport officers agree with this too.

262
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Most of them who make a name are retired or reserve although many on active duty feel

263
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,600
the same way.

264
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:44,160
Colonel J. Bryan for instance says that they are real he says they are in a planetary and

265
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,000
the censorship is wrong and dangerous.

266
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:52,120
Major Dewey Fornay who is following the chief monitor for the Pentagon on this project has

267
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:56,000
said the airport has withheld information and is still withholding it.

268
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,120
There are particularly sightings of the objects.

269
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:03,160
I don't want to give the impression however that we are trying to attack the Air Force.

270
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,960
I think the Air Force is in a very bad spot and recently one officer told me that they

271
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,120
agreed the policy was controlling them instead of they're controlling the policy because

272
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:19,520
over a period of years they have explained sightings one way or another even though the

273
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,520
facts didn't always fit and many times it was mere speculation and now they're on record

274
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,760
and they don't know exactly which way to turn to get it back on the track.

275
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,200
Each is where I think we simply say we did it in the public interest we didn't want to

276
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,720
frighten anybody we were waiting to get all the answers we haven't got them all now so

277
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,600
we're going to give out what we have and that's what we hope to do and we are that with the

278
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,960
release of our five-year report to Congress we are going to give this the copy to the

279
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,600
sector of the Air Force and offer to cooperate in helping to put out this information to

280
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,000
our organization and our members in 50 states and see if we can change the misunderstanding

281
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,880
in the ridicule.

282
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Thank you Major Kehoe.

283
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,800
I have been speaking with Major Donald Kehoe director of the National Investigations Committee

284
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,920
on Aerial Phenomenon.

285
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,360
This is Al Levy of Mutual News in Washington.

286
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,760
Capital assignment will continue in one minute.
