While details on the CSETI briefing in April have been in short supply to date, Adair appears to be a primary witness who has gone public. I've recounted the key parts of his story below. At the moment, I'm unable to independently verify Adair's background, and didn't find existing references to him on the net (aside from this context). Is Adair a known character? It would be nice to have some more information on this fellow. According to his bio, David Adair built his first rocket when he was 11, and at 17 won an award for "The Most Outstanding in the Field of Engineering Sciences" from the U.S. Air Force for his construction of a 10-foot tall, half-ton missile that set the fastest speed record of any missile flown at the time. (This was built with the help of his father who was a mechanic for Nascar and had access to a huge, state-of-the-art machine shop and technicians. He ran into troubles with the math early on, and allegedly his work was sent on to none other than Stephen Hawking for assistance.) Adair's endeavors attracted the attention of the military. At this point I'll let Adair speak for himself, as we proceed directly to DreamLand: "When my rocket landed, they gave pre-set coordinates and it came down in the desert about 120 miles north of Las Vegas. I thought it would be lost but there's a giant 30-40,000-acre Air Force Base that's not on the map, called Area 51. They took me to one of the hangars, floor dropped out from under us, and a huge elevator took us down into a cavern facility underground to see this engine. "The vision was remarkable in its design and construction. It looked nothing like what we have even today. The alloys were really strange, almost transparent -- so strong I could stand on it and it would not give. When I touched it, it felt like a woman's skin, so incredibly soft, smooth and extremely hard. Very unusual alloy casting, it wasn't even like titanium or other hard metals. ... It was covered with heiroglyphics which I memorized. The entire engine was damaged all the way around and the center was incinerated. ... With this kind of engine you use plasma physics and your running temperature is at 100 million degrees C, hotter than the sun. They wanted to know how to get the power flows and conversion things working. ... "Then it dawned on me. They said that this was their engine and I thought, "Why am I having to explain how your engine works to you?" ... That's when they got upset and jerked me out of that room. They kept me in this room for 10 hours with no windows or doors. Finally, (Gen.) Curtis Lemay came in and took me home." Speaking about the CSETI briefings: "The other witnesses they have were all former Air Force people. They saw pictures or they saw radar blips. No one ever saw real hardware pulled into a secret military base like I did. So, obviously they wanted to hear what I had to say. There were about 12 of us invited to testify, all ex-military except for one woman who was ex-NASA." Another witness was an attorney out of Nashville named Steve Lovkin, who while in the army reportedly worked in the Pentagon in inscriptions and secret coding, and elsewhere is described as a military aide who regularly briefed President Eisenhower on UFO evidence and developments. Recounting his meeting of Lovkin at the CSETI briefings, Adair states, "They brought these pieces of metal in [to Lovkin at the Pentagon] and said the pieces were from a crashed UFO. They couldn't decipher the emblems on them. While Steve was talking I was sitting next to him, and I'd never met the man in my life and I sat there and sketched out the emblems that I'd seen. I said, 'Steve, did they look like this?' and the man almost fainted at the microphone. I got 12 out of 12. I said, 'I think what you saw at the Pentagon came off the engine that I saw.' "So that got the senators and congressman fired up. How could I possibly hit so many correct? That was a high point because it threw credibility back into my corner." I would be remiss if I failed to pass on other remarkable comments from Adair. With regards to his ideas for 'rocket science' as a child, these "started coming through dreams early on, at age seven. ... At first they were just random, then a little more frequent. Then the dreams started following a sequential order -- I would dream about something I was working on and I'd get to a point where I really couldn't figure out what to do and then I'd get a dream and the next day I would know how to do it." When Hawking looked at his equations and asked him where he got his information, "I told him from dreams, and he said if I had answered any other way I would have lost all credibility." Adair also argues, similar (apparently) to Col. Philip Corso in his new UFO conspiracy blockbuster "The Day After Roswell", that some or much of the modern technological boom has been spurred by the captured ET artefacts. He talks about sweeping cover-ups in NASA. He seems to be making himself available on the lecture circuit. The only contact information provided is a phone number for his "Need to Know" conference bookers at 310-669-4806. Any more info on this one out there? -- Geoff Price Geoff@CalibanMW.com
