DUMAS: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIES, KEEPS ALIEN INFO SECRET

Credit: R. Collins

To the Editor:

I am specifically writing because of the alleged UFO
sighting that occured in Easton.
Now, I will admit right up front that I would describe
myself as a real hard core UFO buff. I search for UFO-related
materials, and own at least one UFO pre-recorded video and many
books on the subject. The subject is one that I find fascinating
and I am not afraid to admit it.
The recent 'incident' in Easton doesn't really surprise me
and the so-called excuses that are put forward when they cannot
find a miserable excuse or a conventional explanation are just
pathetic.
Now, as far as I know, blimps, or the more accurate
technical term airships, do not often fly at night and I
sincerely doubt that one would be over the geographic area of
Easton, either. There are also rather few airships operating in
the entire nation, which reduces the odds that it would be a
'blimp'.
I do not know that some alleged UFO sightings in the
American southwest, specifically Nevada, were very likely the
recently revealed Lockheed F-117A stealth attack fighter bomber
and not UFOs. This is a case where the government exploits the
UFO issue as a cover to test secret and experimental aircraft.
It is reported that the F-117A is wedge-shaped, painted black or
dark indigo blue and has its engines buried inside the airframe
with large air mixing exhaust nozzles that mix hot engine exhaust
with cool air. The end result is a very quiet airplane that
makes a kind of a low whining or buzzing sound when in flight.
The geographical area of Easton isn't too far from the
Danbury area and adjoining Duchess County area of New York state
where there have been numerous reports of UFOs, including alleged
landing sights and even reports of UFO abductions, which are
technically known as close encounters of the fourth kind.
The fact is that the people will never get the straight
truth from the government because it has a vested interest in
keeping the issue obscure and out of the mainstream of American
political thought.
The American people have heard every lame excuse, including
the cliche' weather balloon, and in the case of Duchess County,
were told of snowmobile engine powered ultralight aircraft flying
in formations of various shapes and sizes.
Because these aircraft don't have any running lights, and
because, unlike some military aircraft, they do not have special
radars and infrared equipment to allow them to fly in total
darkness, this doesn't make sense either.
We are simply being lied to.
I could rule out that the air force is testing either the F-
117A or other experimental stealth aircraft, but keep in mind the
government prefers to test such aircraft for safety and other
reasons in the southwest specifically in the Nellis Airforce Base
area and the Tonopah, Nev., region.
Because I don't expect the federal government to reveal
their secret UFO information, which everyone knows they have, I
simply expect the government to tell the truth about when they
are and when they aren't testing experimental aircraft, and when
they really aren't sure what's out there.
I am coming around to the view that the government might not
be able, for good reasons, to really reveal all they know about
UFOs. While it has been treated like a joke, it is also a dead
serious issue.
The truth of alien visitation to the Earth may just be too
much for many people, especially if the recent speculations about
genetic experimentation are true, and I personally believe they
are.
