Q:  You state: "Just a simple disclosure that UFOs exist and contact has been
made with alien beings is feared by the government." Did you personally see any
evidence in your work with the government that contact has been made? If so, can
you tell us specifically what this 'contact' entails?

MAYNARD:  Personally, yes, as listed in the documents I was in charge of. I also
knew several people who flew in and out of Nellis AFB on the Janet flights out
of Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. These were government-chartered
flights (unmarked) from McCarran directly to Nellis/Area 51. That's right, the
planes had no identification at all marked on them. One friend is a safety
engineer, we had discussed his Vegas trips, but he would never admit flying to
Area 51 until I confronted him about a photo I had seen of him boarding a Janet
Flight.  After that confrontation, he admitted to seeing aircraft the government
had, ours and theirs  (alien), parked in hangers and underground parking areas.
He would admit to nothing else, and we discontinued our relationship.

Two other friends discussed everything that they did at Area 51 with me. They
knew me before I retired, and [of] my interest in UFO material. Yet, when I
asked them to come forward along with me and others to testify, they flatly
refused and asked me to never speak to them again, particularly if I went ahead
with the Disclosure Project. I have agreed with their wishes, yet we speak on
friendly terms. But never mention Area 51 or any other matters concerning UFOs.
