I see, and the rest of the design would be designed to reflect/deflect radar signals in any other direction except back to the source radar system. Still if the bomber is climbing or turning it will send back a fair sized signal. If weather radar can pickup something as thin and non metalic as a cloud then would the stealth bombers and fighters be more likely to show up on a weather radar than perhaps a conventional military or airport aircraft radar ? ...Bryon -- Bryon Smith - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Bryon.Smith@f19.n19.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f19.n19.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Bryon.Smith Subject: Re: Cooper in L.A.

Yes and he was on ParaNet long enough with his double talk and rude remarks that it got to the point where it would not have mattered if what he was saying was true a good number of the users didn't care to hear it anymore. I had several users who were calling TAU just for the ParaNet area and the last messages they left me were private telling me what they thought of Bill Cooper and how they had lost their taste for ParaNet because of it. Several of them have never called back and we can thank Bill Cooper for it. When I decided to remove him from TAU and lock him out I posted a message explaining why I felt that I had to do it, and that he was running the interested people off with his rude messages and that my reasons were not related to his information. He left me a message calling me a few names and calling me a "Hitler" because I was allowing "free speach" access to ParaNet via TAU. I laughed about it because it was quite clear to me who was trying to be a "Hitler" by forcing his opinions on the other ParaNet users and insulting those who disagreed with him. He came across like "...if you don't agree with me then you are a moron." The ParaNet users are the judge of that and I think the majority will agree with me. As for his information having holes in it, it does, and when called on it he did say that he was just "testing" those so called UFO researchers and admitted that he had lied about certain information that he had given just to see if someone was "smart" enough to catch it. Mike Corbin and Jim Speiser know that I certanly did try to get along with Bill Cooper dispite the fact, but when he started running off my good ParaNet users (which I am very proud of by the way) that was all I could take, something had to be done and I was not alone in my decision. He was even telling people to butt out of his "private" conversations in the public echos. I wouldn't even be posting this message about him because I don't normally talk about people in such a way but there is something here to be learned and those who were not hear when he was might like to know these things. In my opinion the results of his taking part in conversations on ParaNet was actually driving good intelligent interested people away from the system, and perhaps even the subject of UFOs. Perhaps that was his intentions, or maybe he was not aware of what he was doing, I don't know. I do know that it was the results of more than one thing that got him removed from ParaNet. I don't know anyone who wants to continue conversations with someone who tells them things like (in my words) "...sure, I lied about that just to see if you were smart enough to figure it out." RIGHT, we are all just little stupid morons and should believe everything you tell us even when we know you said you lied about it. Well if he lied about that then what else did he lie about that he is not telling us ? I don't care if the "grays" land in his yard and he has photos of them I wouldn't believe it if I saw the photos. I know that you feel much the same as I do about the situation but for those who don't know him as well, he has done his share of damage to the field of UFO research, and has certanly "tested" our abilities to decide what is and what isn't. He has taught us a valuable lesson I must say. If you mix enough fact with the right amount of fiction you will create a situation where a great number of people will follow, others will be confused, others will get feed up with it and give up, and the rest just won't know what's going on. If it gets silly enough everyone will just laugh it off and say it's all a fake. That to me sounds like Government Disinformation, that's what they did with the first Blue Book, but personally I think he is doing it on his own and am not sure of his reasons. I don't doubt the Government is hiding information about UFOs they hide everything else they can even when it's not important they try to cover it up or hide it, it's the nature of the beast. Sure he is no doubt telling the truth about some of it, but most of it is old news, and the rest, well if you have the time and patience then suit yourself, but I personaly have better things to do. ...Bryon -- Bryon Smith - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Bryon.Smith@f19.n19.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f19.n19.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Bryon.Smith Subject: Re: Area 51: The Nevada Test Site's Supersecret UFO Base?

Date: 15 Nov 89 08:55:00 GMT November 13, 1989 ParaNet Information Service (Denver, CO) -- In our continuing coverage of the remarkable revelations coming out of Las Vegas, Nevada, here is the next installment to the program aired on November 13, 1989 by television station KLAS-TV and George Knapp. ================================================================= News Anchor persons: A former government scientist has alleged that the U.S. military is flying recovered UFOs at a secret base in the Nevada desert. The allegations about the secret facility near the Groom Mountains first surfaced on Eyewitness News on last Friday [November 10, 1989]. Scientist Bob Lazar says that there are at least nine of the flying saucers being tested and that they were not built on Earth. George Knapp has more on the continuation of our series on UFOs. Lazar: "Yeah. It was obvious it came from somewhere else, uh, other than Earth." Scientist Bob Lazar was convinced that the technology he saw being tested at a secret base in the Nevada desert is of alien origin, and for Lazar the proof is, at least, partially in the furniture. One of the nine flying disks he says he saw at the base, which was designated S-4, looks exactly like this UFO photographed in Europe [Photo of UFO shown]. Lazar called it the "sport model." Lazar: "I gave everything names -- the top hat one and you know the jello mold and, uh, the sport model operated without any hitches at all. I mean, it looked new. If I knew what a new flying saucer looked like. One of them looked like it was hit with some sort of a projectile. It had a large hole in the bottom and a large hole in the top with the metal bent out like some sort of, you know, large caliber 4 or 5 inch had gone through it." Even before he saw the sport model operate, Lazar says, he suspected that the ship came from somewhere else. The realization slapped him in the face the first time he glimpsed the inside of the disk. Lazar: "I got to look inside and it had really small chairs. I think that was the first confirmation I had. That was just a shocking thing because everytime before that I was able to label it. This is just a little advance that a group of scientists had formed and, you know, they're keeping it secret, and yeah, we could have built a big disk like that, and yeah, that's no problem, and, you know, we could have adapted the use(?) to make it fly, but why does it have little furniture inside? [garbled]. And things began to click together just all too fast." A few of the disks had been completely dismantled to find out how they worked, Lazar says, but others were fully operational. A Japanese TV network created this animated version of Lazar's story after his first interview with us aired in May [showing video]. Lazar says the dramatization is similar to a test flight he witnessed. Lazar: "The bottom of it glowed blue and began to hiss like any, like high voltage does on a round sphere. It's my impression that the reason that they're round and have no sharp edges is to contain the high voltage like, uh, if you've seen a high voltage system's insulators -- things are round or else you get a corona discharge. In either case, it began to hiss as in high voltage and it lifted off the ground quietly except for that little hiss in the background, and that stopped as soon as it reached about 20 or 30 feet." Lazar says the test of the sport model was a short one -- that it made only a few moves before setting back down. He didn't see who was actually flying the craft, but was very impressed, nonetheless. Lazar: "Well, there's no action reaction system to it. There's no, like in a jet engine, exhaust gas being thrown out -- no propeller, no noise. It's just, for all intents and purposes, magic." To Lazar's knowledge, the flying disks are not being used, for say, any flights to Jupiter. He said excessive caution and intense secrecy contributed to the plodding pace of the program and were a main source of his disenchantment. Lazar: "It's just unfair, outright, not to put it in the hands of the overall scientific community. There are people much more capable of dealing with this information, and by this time would have gotten a lot further along than this small select group of people working out in the middle of the desert. They don't even have the facilities, really, to completely analyze what they're dealing with." Gene Huff: "Well he was being quiet. If he kept me abreast of anything, he kept me abreast of the security checks -- they'd randomly drop by his house. They'd threaten his life; they'd threaten his wife's life. They had done all that so we really didn't converse, I mean, he really was adhering to the program." Gene Huff is a Las Vegas real estate appraiser. A regular guy who just happens to have a friend in the flying saucer business. He learned about Lazar's S-4 experiences only after a long period. Lazar is anxious for people to know that he didn't just run right out and spill the secrets of the universe, and that some things are properly kept confidential. Lazar: "I did not believe that this should be a security matter. Some of it, sure. But, just the concept that there's definite proof, and uh, we even have articles from another world, another system, you just can't not tell everyone. A lot of people don't believe that. But, I do." When he reached what he felt was his bursting point, he took Huff and a few others to the edge of the Groom Mountains to see the flights for themselves. A total of five witnesses on two consecutive weeks managed to dodge security patrols long enough to see the strange glowing object lift above the mountain. Huff(?): "Uh, it came up above the same mountain. It moved around. It did a step move -- it actually went up in the air like this [showing details with hands] and it hovered then dropped way down then it just floated around and cruised around. It starts coming up the mountain range...." This home video tape was recorded during one of the trips to the Groom Mountains [showing video tape. A lot of talking....Object in sight....Mention of brightness of the object....]. Admittedly, the tape proves very little by itself because, with the distance and darkness, there are no reference points other than the alleged flying disk, but Lazar's information about the time and location of the test flight proves correct -- not once but twice. That, according to our off-camera interviews with each of the other witnesses. Gene Huff describes his second sighting: Huff: "Through the telescope we could see an elliptical-shaped light. You can only get so close even with a telescope to a secure facility. Anyway, it came up by us very rapidly. It glowed and glows brighter like a star and we almost got the feeling that it was going to explode, it glowed so brightly. We backed up behind the car then it went down and glowed back up a little bit and then very softly glided back over, back where the mountains where it came up, hovered for awhile, and then that's that....Just like you see in the movies." Bob Lazar isn't the only person to claim "inside knowledge" of the flying disks at the test site -- he is just the only person to say so publicly. We have communicated with several people who say they know of the saucer program. A technician in a highly sensitive position told us it is "common knowledge among those with high security clearances that recovered alien disks are stored at the Nevada test site." A Las Vegas professional, who once served in the military and was stationed at the test site, said he saw a flying disk land outside the boundaries of Area 51 -- that it was quickly surrounded by security personnel and that he was taken away and debriefed for several hours. A man who once worked at Groom Lake as a technician, at our request, wrote this letter explaining how he inadvertently walked into the wrong hangar and saw what appeared to be a large metallic disk under a tarp. It was being examined by men in lab coats. And, an airman who worked at Nellis at a radar installation says he and his fellow servicemen watched over a period of five nights, unusual objects flying over the Groom Mountains. He says the radar images indicates the objects zoomed into range at speeds of 7,000 miles per hour and then would stop on a dime, and that nothing we have is capable of doing that. The airman says that when word of his sighting got out, he was ordered to turn off his radar sensors for that area and told to keep quiet about the matter because it did not happen. None of this means that the military is actually flying alien spacecraft in the Nevada desert. It could all perhaps be explained as some other secret program. Lazar insists that's not the case. We put the matter to the U.S. Navy, which according to Lazar, is running the saucer show. Four different naval offices were contacted. All denied having any information in their files. The Naval Research Lab said it conducted a thorough search but found "zip." Naval Intelligence said much the same thing, adding, it is not required to create a file where one doesn't exist. A side note: We also requested files on a UFO sighting over Tremonton, Utah in 1952. The Navy spent more than a thousand hours studying film of that sighting -- a fact that's been noted in several publications -- but, for purposes of our request, the Navy couldn't find those files either. Lazar: "The group that runs this project, whether it really is the Navy or they just say that, apparently these people have executive power -- they don't report to anyone." Tomorrow, more troubling allegations of the military potential of alien technology. ================================================================= This file is available on ParaNet as Area51-2.ufo. -- Michael Corbin - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Michael.Corbin@f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!Jeff.Ballard Subject: Hard Copy Close Encounters Episode Date: 15 Nov 89 22:10:00 GMT Hard Copy Close Encounters Story.................... On Monday (11/20), the newsmagazine show Hard Copy will air a show concerning "alleged encounters with extraterrestrial life". There may be follow-up segments on Tuesday and Wednesday. One of the participants is Cynthia Vodovoz. Cynthia's abduction story was recently covered in a Birmingham News article ( the abduction occurred in B'ham in October of 1973). Cynthia had an opportunity to see a rough edit of the show and said that although it used a lot of old material, it was at least positive in nature. It should be interesting. Watch for Communion, the movie to open soon.

Date: 16 Nov 89 05:57:00 GMT 1. Originally, KLAS-TV's UFO series, "UFOs: The Best Evidence," -- for which I understand there is a tremendous demand for copies -- and which has included the ultimate UFO bombshell on Area 51, was scheduled to run only seven days: 11/6, 11/7, 11/8, 11/9, 11/10, 11/13, and 11/14. It was then extended to include 11/15, 11/16, 11/17, and 11/20, but tonight it was announced the final segment will be on 11/16. 2. KLAS-TV's "Dubbing Department" has quoted a price of $100 per segment for each of the fifteen-minute segments. "With special permission," they "might" be able to get you a copy of all segments for $300. But that quote was made at the time there were only seven -- not nine or more -- segments scheduled. However, the Dubbing Department lady said copies will be "scare as hens' teeth," and she advised personal taping. Everything broadcast thus far lasts about two hours. The week after Thanksgiving, KLAS-TV will present another two-hour UFO program -- apparently reprising and updating the material and which will be broadcast in one piece. I am reliably informed that Mike Corbin has a copy of the KLAS-TV segments thus far. 3. KTNV-TV's UFO report, "Area 51: Code Name Dreamland," aired tonight for about five minutes and will continue Thursday and Friday, including info on what they have announced as Project Aurora. Tonight, the reporters are shown driving to the edge of the Nevada Test Site -- possibly close to Area 51 -- and you can see them being turned away by a security guard in a camouflage fatigues with no apparent insignia. In the reporters' car, you hear them receiving short wave communications between other security guards monitoring those approaching Area 51 from non-U.S. Government property. Robert B.
