FAA DIVISION CHIEF OF ACCIDENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS (ret.), JOHN
CALLAHAN

"This particular incident started with a phone call from the people
in Alaska. . . .I said, 'What's the problem?'  He said, 'Well,
it's that UFO.'. . .The UFO was bouncing around the 747 here. . .
.They brought in three people from the FBI, three people from the CIA,
and three people from Reagan's Scientific Study team-I don't know
who the rest of the people were but they were all excited. . . .Well,
I've been involved in a lot of cover-ups with the FAA. When we gave
the presentation to the Reagan staff I was behind the group that was
there. And when they were speaking to the people in the room, they had
all those people swear that this never happened. But they never had me
swear it never happened. . . .It still bothers me that I've seen all
this, I know all this, and I'm walking around with the answer, and
nobody wants to ask the question to get the answer. . . .For those
people that say that if these UFOs existed, they would some day be on
radar and that there'd be professionals who would see it, then I can
tell them that back in 1986 there were enough professional people that
saw it. . . .What I can tell you is what I've seen with my own eyes.
I've got a videotape. I've got the voice tape. And I've got the
reports that were filed that will confirm what I've been telling
you." -Video Interview.  Op. cit., pp. 79-85.

Chief of Defense Staff, British Ministry of Defense (ret.), Admiral
Lord Hill-Norton:

"I have frequently been asked why a person of my background-a
former Chief of the Defense Staff, a former Chairman of the NATO
Military Committee-why I think there is a cover-up, or what the
reasons may be for government's wishing to cover up the facts about
UFOs. A number of explanations have often been put forward. The most
frequent, and perhaps the most plausible, is the government's concern
(which is primarily that of the United States, and that of my own
country) over the public's reaction if they were told the
truth-which is that there are objects in our atmosphere which are
technically miles in advance of anything that we can deploy, that we
have no means of stopping them coming here, and that we have no defense
against them, should they be hostile. I believe governments fear that
if they did disclose those facts, people would panic. . . .I don't
believe that at all. I've said so in print. I do not believe that
people today, in the 21st century, are going to panic at that sort of
information. . . .What I'd like to say is that there is a serious
possibility that we are being visited-and have been visited for many
years-by people from outer space, from other civilizations; that it
behooves us to find out who they are, where they come from, and what
they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific
investigation, and not the subject of rubbishing by tabloid
newspapers." -Video Interview.  Op. cit., pp. 305-307.  See also

Mercury & Gemini Astronaut, Colonel Gordon Cooper (ret.):

"At Edwards Air Force Base I was having some of the cameramen film
precision landings and we were right on the edge of a dry lake. A
saucer flew right over them, put down three landing gears, and landed
out on the dry lakebed. They went out there with their cameras towards
the UFO. . . .By the time they got back with the developed film I had
higher and higher level officers talking to me. . .I had a chance to
hold it [the film] up to the window to look at it. It was certainly
good film. Good close-up shots. Nothing like I had ever seen. . . .[A]
double inverted saucer shape. . . .Well, at the time this happened I
was involved in research and development and doing very classified
projects at the task center. I knew we didn't have any vehicles [like
that] at that time. I am 99.9% sure that the Russians didn't have any
of that type either. . . .there was no doubt in my mind that it was
made someplace other than on this earth. . . .In my opinion they were
worried it would panic the public if they knew that someone had
vehicles that had this kind of performance way back right after WWII.
So they started telling lies about it. Then I think they had to cover
it with another lie . . . now they don't know how to get out of it. .
. .Who was flying these vehicles we saw? I think there were
extraterrestrial pilots flying them, no doubt about it."-Video

Brigadier General Stephen Lovekin, Army National Guard Res.:

"One afternoon when we were just about ready to finish up training,
Colonel Holomon brought out a piece of what appeared to be metallic
debris. We were told that this object came from matters connected with
Operation Bluebook. . . .He went on to further explain that this was
the material that had come from a New Mexico crash in 1947 of an
extraterrestrial craft and that was discussed at length . . .I got an
opportunity to travel a little bit with the President [Eisenhower]. . .
.Well, on some of those occasions he had just been given messages or
had been given information pertaining to sightings or information about
UFOs, and I know that for a fact because I was in the COM Center and I
saw that information. . . .He was very, very interested in the shapes
and sizes of the UFOs and what made them go. . . .But what happened was
that Eisenhower got sold out. . . .He realized that he was losing
control of the UFO subject. He realized that the phenomenon or whatever
it was that we were faced with was not going to be in the best hands.
As far as I can remember, that was the expression that was used, 'It
was not going to be in the best hands.' That was a real concern. And
so it has turned out to be. It had been discussed with me on numerous
occasions what could happen to me militarily if I discussed this."

Lockheed Skunkworks Engineer (ret.), Don Phillips:

"These UFOs were huge. And they would just come to a stop and do a 60
degree, 45 degree, 10 degree turn, after stopping. And then immediately
reverse this action. When I was working with the Skunkworks, we signed
an agreement with the National Security Agency, and the National
Security Council, as well as the CIA. And, we kept very quiet about
things because they always knew where we were and what we were doing. I
automatically had that team spirit. We were a big family there. And I
was very proud of that, having worked directly for Kelly Johnson. . .
.From what I learned over a period of years, anti-gravitational
research was going. . . .We know that there were some captured craft
from 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico. And, yeah, they were real. And, yes,
we really did get some technology from them. And, yes, we really did
put it to work."-Video Interview.  Op. cit., pp. 375-383
