Subject: Aliens, The U.S. Military and Roswell Date: 4 May 1995 02:32:14 GMT I believe that many recent sightings are actually the product of a reverse engineering project using a space ship recovered from Roswell in 1947. Several sightings have mentioned the appearance of Airforce aircraft in the vicinity of the U.F.O.'s. While many people think of these as interceptors, I theorize they are chase planes monitoring elaborate tests. I base this on both a sighting I had as a military officer, along with several other military officers, of a U.F.O. performing maneuvers, as well as many reports of these U.F.O.'s appearing near military bases, i.e. Area 51. One morning while I was in the military, I was at PT (physical training), a three time a week ritual, at approximately 5:30 a.m. This was shortly before dawn. The horizon had not yet begun to glow with the impending sunrise when one of the officers in our group pointed up in the sky and asked "what is that?" At which time we all looked up and saw a white spot high in the atmosphere, high enough to be illuminated by the sun that was still over the horizon. As we watched, the white spot would rapidly reposition from one point to another instantaneously as if it had no mass and had no obligation to follow the laws of physics as we know it. We were all Army Aviators, well trained in night vision techniques and visual illusions association with it and very aware of the effects of autokenisis (the illusion that a white light when viewed with no other visual references appears to start moving when your eyes begin to seek another point of reference). This white light was viewed to be moving against the background stars and was not an isolated spot on a totally black background. The reason for my conclusion that this was a military ship was that it was performing these maneuvers above the Fort Hood Military training/ impact area. This is the same area that the Airforce uses for its training missions while in Fort Hood airspace. I believe no one was intended to see this ship as it had no position lights and was only visible due to being illuminated by the sun over the horizon. Nothing I have printed here is classified and no one in my group ever discussed this. To the best of my knowledge this is the first time one of us has come forward publicly. I do not fear reprisal from the government, I almost welcome it. This would obviously prove to myself that my theories are correct. I have no paranoia about this subject, just an honest desire for the truth, whatever that might be. Now I present to you a delima that I first encountered when a friend described a personal encounter to me. When someone close to you or someone for whom you have a great deal of respect for or would otherwise consider to be very trustworthy tells you of an encounter of this nature, you are left with only two basic choices. Either you have to change your entire belief system and embrace what they have told you as truth or you have to believe that this person you have entrusted does not warrant the trust you have placed in them, or worse yet, they are crazy. Before seeing this with my own eyes, I always took reports of this nature with more than one grain of salt. I always wrote off other sightings as people looking for publicity or simply not aware of the possible illusions associated with night vision. Basically, (real original here) I would not have believed it had I not seen it with my own two eyes. I invite comments and e-mail on this subject.
