Hello all,


Here is a repost of a message that I had sent to the now defunct SUFOG back
in January of this year. I didn't really get any reponses with information
that was useful. Mabye somebody here can verify or refute these claims. I
am still in contact with the individual, so if you have any questions, feel
free to ask & I will try to get some answers.

Serious group,

I have just finished talking with an X-airman, he was in the USAF in
the early sixties. He had Q5 Top Secret security clearence. He was an
electronics technician & crypto expert, as was his father before him.
I wanted to share this information with you all before I brought it
out in a.a.v, for obvious reasons.

I also wanted to see if anyone had heard about an underground base at
Kelley/Kelly? AFB somewhere in Texas.

He had some quite interesting stories that he told me, they are from
memory, so they are not verbatim. Here is one of them:

Timeline 1960-1963.....We will call him airman Smith:

At the time this occured, airman Smith was stationed in W.Germany. One
night he was orded to fly stateside for a hush-hush emergency. His
orders were to secure damaged equiptment,store said equiptment in
footlocker provided to him, sit on the locker, guard it with his life
until he delivered it to an undisclosed location, where he was to
disembark & repair damaged equiptment.

He landed in some unmarked landing strip somewhere in the Nevada
desert, where he met up with two other airmen from two other spots on
the globe. They all traveled together to the CRASH site in an old
jeep. The craft was one of ours, proto-pre-SR71 or something like
that. He stated it was some kind of (fast) recon bird. They (the
technicians) each had a piece of equiptment assigned to them. They
were each responsable for those individual pieces & were not allowed
to talk to each other about what they were doing.

After retrieving the required parts, the were flown to Kelly/Kelley?
AFB in Texas. They landed with no problem, this is where it gets kinda
weird. As they are taxiing down the runway, they pull in between two
hangars & were waiting for what he assumed would be one of thoses
tow-vehicles to pull them into the hangar. The next thing he felt was
very strange, he felt like they were going down, & after about 15
seconds as things got darker, he was quite sure of it. He estimated
that it took about 3-5minutes to get to what he thought the bottom
was. After diembarking from the plane, he was greeted by some gents
that had black uniforms & black berets'. They had no markings or
insignias at all.  He did recall what he perceived as an enlisted man
call one of the soliders Lieutenant.

The Hanger/ was estimated to be about 100yds long & 60-100ft high, in
a semi-dome configuration or quansit-hut(sp?) I didn't get a chance to
ask how wide, but he did say the aircraft could be turned around fully
in the area.  There were no windows in the walls, only reinforced
steel doors. He(airman Smith) felt that this area branched off in four
different directions, he didn't elaborate why he felt this except to
say that that is the impression he got.

He & the other technicians were then escorted to separate small but
highly sophisticated labs. He said the equiptment that he was allowed
to use was years ahead of whatever was on the open market. He said
that the most of the test equiptment he used was fairly easy to use as
opposed to some of the equiptment he used on a daily basis.

 They (The airmen) were to analyze the equiptment & repair it. Each of
the labs were equipped with sleeping quarters & all meals were brought
to them. He was there for three days & did not see another soul(with
the exceptions of the guards of course) , & was not allowed to roam
the area at all. He was debriefed before he left for quite a few
hours.

Not a barn burner of a story, but I felt it might be interesting to
some of you.  When I get some TIME, I will fwd some of his other
stories.

Thanks ,

Rod
