Roswell Again

         During the Korean War another young man from Cleveland, Ohio and I became close buddies. During our off-duty times, one of our favorite topics was arguments and discussions for and against the existence of inter-planetary visitors from outer space. We both finally came to believe that it was possible that other star systems harbored intelligent life.
         After the war, he went back to Cleveland and I went back to Chicago. We talked on the telephone from time but we talked only about our personal lives. We maintained contact to learn how we were doing after the war.
         In the summer of 1954, he called and said, “Do you remember all the conversations we had about aliens and people from outer space?
         I told him I did.
         He said, “Well something like a crash happened in New Mexico . . .”
         I asked, “When?”
         He said he heard it was in 1947.
         I told him to continue.
         He said that rumors had it that a spacecraft crashed, some of the small, about four feet tall, visitors were killed, but some or one of the visitors was still living and housed in what was referred to as the “Refrigerator Room” at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.
         I tucked that information in the back of my memories. Soon, I went back to college, graduated as an engineer and moved to California.
         In 1972 I was in charge of a training system “sell-off” to the US Air Force. At that time, I was employed as a Senior Systems Engineer by a company that sold training systems to the Air Force.
         During the course of proving to the Air Force that the system worked as advertised, (this is known as testing), there were long hours of flight mission time. This meant there were long periods of silence because some computer simulated missions took 6, 8 or 10 hours from takeoff to landing.
         We talked about girls, told jokes of all stripes, ghost stories, and related personal experiences to pass the time.
         As the lead test person and system designer, I was the only company representative present in testing, but there were always about a dozen Air Force personnel of various rank in the test room. All of us wore headsets so that Air Force personnel could talk to each another, ask questions of each another and me.
         About 3:00 a.m., one morning we were running a long flight mission and the large room was very quiet.
         I said, “I wonder what the Air Force has in the refrigerator room at Wright Pat?” I said it, more or less joking. I added, “I understand that nobody can talk about it!”
         All Air Force personnel turned their heads and looked directly at me. They didn’t smile, they were always friendly and courteous, and it was as though they became frozen in place.
         I look at each one and slowly they looked away from me and pretended to busy themselves in the mission. Finally, one guy told a joke and the room seemed to come back to normal.
         For the remainder of the mission, the fellows were friendly and it was as though I had not mentioned the refrigerator room. I got the impression that I shouldn’t continue with that topic.
         We finished testing for the morning and as I left the building, about 7:00 a.m., a Lieutenant he was in charge of the Air Force testing crew walked in the opposite direction down a long hall. He stopped in front of me and looked directly at me. He smiled. I looked at him. He said, “I can’t tell you that there are little green men in the refrigerator room at Wright Pat!”
         He smiled and walked past me down the hall.
         I understood his meaning and this event occurred in 1972.
         Now quite recently, we have come to understand words that have specific meanings: Roswell, spacecraft crash, US Air Force and I now believe, not only are they, “out there!”
         They are here, too!

         I certify that the above incidents are true and occurred, as I have recalled them. And, my personal opinion is that we have made contact with extra-terrestrial intelligence.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

1. Hi Richard: I noticed this, and probably wouldn't have read it but the part about the friend from Cleveland caught My eye, it's where I now live. I suppose Like a lot of other people, You do feel the government/military cover things up. I don't usually make comments about this, or UFO's, but for some reason this simple thing You wrote, led Me to send this response: As You may recall, a short time ago, there was a test where a missile was fired from California, to be intercepted, and shot down, the test failed. Why this made a big news splash is a mystery to Me, as this program has gone on for a very long time. These tests, are conducted along what is known as the Pacific Missile Test Range, (from Pt. Mugu, California, or from ships, mostly submarines, To the target, interception area 5000 miles down range. I was stationed there in 1960-62 as a Navy radio operator. That's Kwajalein Island, in the Marshall 's, just south of The Atomic test Islands. As a result, I was a part of the unit which sent all the reports, and knew how and where they went, and about what. Quite a boring little atoll, but lots of really interesting things going on. And every detail of it all was sent right back to be analyzed and stored in the files back home. I'll take a moment here to tell You straight up That anyone who doesn't believe in Foo Fighters needs to go sit their ass on Kwaj for a couple of weeks. Anyhow about 1975, I got really wrapped up in the Kennedy assination cover-up controversy, and knowing a lot about how the Govt. transmits and files secure things, I got on the trail of that to see what I could maybe find. Back then, it was all paper and microfilm, and I know two things, they never get rid of anything, and they don't have the folks or funds to put it all into computer memory. I had problems, it's one deep black hole, so I went to what I knew a bunch about, to figure the path out. Those reports from Kwajalein. I have since found out a lot of things for sure. Among them You're "Little Green Men". And I tell You this for Your own curiosity sake, They are not in the Fridge at Wright Pat. They are about 70 miles from there along with over Eighteen Billion documents and items in a giant underground government storage facility. And the government knows fully about folks from other places, because I've sent them over 400 messages about them at a secret missile facility.....I will make no further comments about this Richard, so it's of no use even trying to ask or contact Me. I just was somehow taken by Your simple articles statement, and I wanted You to know this. A good life and health

2. Hi! I read your piece on the refrigerator room. Like yourself, my partner and I (or mainly me I guess!) love to talk through great conspiracy theories. UFO's have been a passion of mine since I was 11 so after 17 years of reading and researching the subject I consider myself pretty well informed. However, there are two things i wanted to see if you knew anything about as i cannot find more informationon them and the few people i regularly talk to on the subject know nothing on these at all. The first is the "key". Supposedly this is some kind of event or word or some indication of proof that the government UFO investigators look for when speaking to people who have witnessed a UFO landing or encountered an EBE. In this way they immediately eliminate hoaxers. For example, Adamski, who's later claims bordered on the ridiculous, was obviously taken relatively seriously by the government during his earlier claims. They asked him what the "key" was. He gave the answer with no hesitation whatsoever. Whether his later claims were more a case of disinformation to throw people off the scent much in the same way as the autopsy videos have lead people to discredit anything similar, I am not sure but he knew the key and, supposedly, only UFO contactees would know it. An ex-usaf pilot who is now a good friend of mine passed on some information about another pilot who thought he knew what the key was. Supposedly, at a UFO crash site - (not specified which one) a dead EBE was found inside the craft holding a key-like object. The "key" and UFO were taken to Wright-Patterson along with the bodies etc. They may have been moved elsewhere for analysis after this but the story goes that the scientists working on the craft decided to place the key into a slot in which it appeared to fit. The ship started to whizz and bang and, scared, they quickly removed the key, fearing the craft was about to self-destruct. They never attempted to replace the key into the keyhole again. I believe a similar mechanism is now employed on the stealth. Anyway, this guy assumed this was the "key" I had mentioned but I feel it is unlikely to be the same as I would not think the EBE's would give this information to contactees anyway. Also, fro the reports i have read, i always assumed the key was perhaps something like an atmospheric change around the craft, a specific word, markings, the way the craft landed/departed etc. Do you know anything about the key? The second question relates to something I have only recently heard about. Does the name JAROD mean anything to you?

If you can get back to me on my home account:

that would be great. More than happy to swop information and conspiracy theories with you anytime!! :-D Have a good day! Lisa
