We had a U-2 pilot down in Panama who used to come to all our parties and he would get stoned and never say a word. The 605th ACS had the only new Collins HF radio set in Latin America and our communication technicians supported the U-2 HF equipment. I still have a photo of the U-2 pilot stoned at out house in Panama and he just fell asleep on a border of our house. We called him silenco since he hardly talked.

Colvin" Subject: skunk-works BBC On A-12 OXCART & CIA Study UFO UpDate: BBC On A-12 OXCART & CIA Study Date: Oct 5, 2010 10:04 AM BBC's broadcast yesterday - a new piece on UFOs: Audio: UFOs in Nevada - BBC, A-12 OXCART & CIA Study BBC World Service Program: Newshour Title: UFOs In Nevada - .mp3 http://tinyurl.com/39eg4jg UFOs in Nevada - BBC, A-12 OXCART and CIA study As far as I am aware, last mainstream story on Area 51 goes back to April 2009, when LA Times published article The Road To Area 51, where ex-workers and engineers from Groom Lake, Colonel Hugh Slater, Edward Lovick, Kenneth Collins and Thornton Barnes, declared that high number of UFO sightings during cold war could be explained as test flights of top-secret Lockheed spy reconnaissance plane code-named OXCART. The OXCART was in operation from 1963 until 1968. In LA Times article, Annie Jacobsen writes that "commercial pilots cruising over Nevada at dusk would look up and see the bottom of OXCART whiz by at 2,000-plus mph. The aircraft's titanium body, moving as fast as a bullet, would reflect the sun's rays in a way that could make anyone think, UFO. In all, 2,850 OXCART test flights were flown out of Area 51 (while Colonel Slater was in charge)". "That's a lot of UFO sightings!", Colonel Slater adds. Those, so called revelations, which were in 2009 presented as breaking story, are nothing new. In fact that was a rehash of CIA's study, written by government historian Gerald K. Haines. It was published back in 1997 inside Studies in Intelligence, a classified journal for the intelligence community. The article in question was titled, "CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947- 90". In one section of the study, there is a same story that will be published again 12 years later in LA Times article. Haines claims, inside segment titled "CIA's U-2 and OXCART as UFOs," that many UFO sightings from the late 1950s and 1960s were caused by secret American spy planes. Of course, implications would be that most unknowns during Blue Book could be now explained by OXCART flights. So, in that way, it's a final solution of a UFO Phenomenon - it is "completely stripped from aura of mystery" (to borrow that famous quote from 1953). On October 3rd, 2010, BBC broadcasted piece called "UFOs in Nevada", inside daily show "Newshour". As the name of the show says, it is devoted to summary of daily news world wide. Piece "UFOs in Nevada" talks about Area 51 "folklore". Keeping that in mind, I was not so interested about another popular speculation about Area 51, but I was curios to see how the anchor will justify the reason for broadcasting this story inside the show that deals with mainstream world news. As I mentioned above, last, so called "breaking story" on Area 51", was covered in media back in April 2009. There is nothing new or important that appeared in media after that. BBC even sent reporter Kevin Connelly to Nevada to report for this "newsworthy" piece. So, what are the legs for this story? During announcement of the piece, Host Julian Marshall said that "(UFO) sightings are almost always happening near Air Bases". Could this be BBC's soft introduction to Robert Hastings conference on UFOs and Nukes? Great, I am so interested to hear their take on it. Naah! Reporter Kevin Connelly quickly destroys my hopes with Twilight Zone Tune. Soon, Connelly talks with Bill Ramsey, philosopher from University of Nevada, who is researching pseudo-scientific believes. Connelly adds that Ramsey would be regarded as a nut in town Rachell because he doesn't think that "aliens invented the toaster". So the stage is set. In the second act, Connelly talks with Colonel Hugh Slater, ex commander of the base - yes the same Colonel Slater from the LA Times article published in April 2009. You guessed it right - BBC piece enriched us with the second rehash of the CIA's article. A-12 OXCART plane (bless him) is again star of the story - the plane that explains the unknowns. Third act ends with the story of Priscilla Travis-Laudenklos that runs motel in Rachell. Priscilla states that she has a note "I'm not of your world", written on piece of paper. BBC ends the piece with the Star Trek tune. Yes, my hopes were too high after all. So far there is not a single piece about UFO & Nukes conference broadcasted on BBC. But instead OXCART landed again in my lap as an explanation of unknowns. In fact, this piece doesn't have any connection with newsworthy developments inside the field (piece with different approach, for example, could include Leslie Kean's book or Robert Hastings conference - that would be by definition a newsworthy service - it would present events that are happening NOW and that are NEWS). But merging whole field with the silly aspects is visible again. Happy listening - in case you have a good nerves. Giuliano Marinkovic Terry W.

If you want to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-skunk-works": subscribe skunk-works-digest local-skunk-works@your.domain.net To unsubscribe, send mail to the same address, with the command: unsubscribe skunk-works-digest in the body. Administrative requests, problems, and other non-list mail can be sent to georgek@netwrx1.com. A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "skunk-works-digest" in the commands above with "skunk-works". Back issues are available for viewing by a www interface located at: http://www.netwrx1.com/skunk-works/ If you have any questions or problems please contact me at: georgek@netwrx1.com Thanks, George R.
