Guys, I am a long time lurking member. And I wish this was more of a tight nit small forum because my honesty and warm character could be verified by you. Other than me telling you: Guys, I am not a shill, I am an honest person, and I have no reason to post here, other than to show my excitement this morning. The reason I dont post threads here that often is because I am a knowledge gatherer and have no reason to post on something that I have no information on until today that is.
Well today, I just stumbled on some crazy information from a retired Brigadier General in the Air Force of 33 years. I will only give a location in the Blan edited viscinity, and he is the owner of a Blank edited in the blank edited area now. I have been buddies with him for almost 10 years now because we subcontract with each other for jobs all the time. The craziest thing is I really never knew his military background and I never knew he had a knowledge in this conspiracy type stuff. I also dont like people to look at me like I am loony, so I stray away from speaking to people about GLP/ATS type issues unless I can get a feel that they are of interest or have there own experience in the matter. So, we are working on a job this morning in the NYC area at my store, discussing plans about 20 minutes ago (yes you can tell I am excited) and I mention the Earthquakes from last week being on almost the same latitude line from Colorado to Virginia. Instead of him saying: "Wow , did you feel the shaking ? That was scary!"
The guy says "Yup, this world is changing very fast, many people have no idea what to expect in the coming years".
I immediately thought, that was a strange way to talk about the shaking sensations of last week. So, I continued in a small convo with him and for the first time ever he admitted to me about flying planes for the air force and retiring as a 1 Star Brigadier General in the US Air Force for 33 years. He even mentioned working at Wright Patterson and traveling to Nellis and Edwards AFB on numerous occasions. He used to fly C140B Cargo Planes as a young officer and eventually moved up the ladder to command and flag level ranks. I was thoroughly impressed with his repetoire so of course I had to inquire about the UFO topic and inside information. He laughed and said dont get me started. "I have NO insider information, only what I have seen and heard from my other brass buddies" Lingo for officer general staff friends over the years.--
A few things he stated:
-During his time at both Wright Patterson and Area 51 region as a COL and Brigadier General level he admitted to having TOP SECRET CLEARANCE as well as a need to know clearance into certain areas as what he called it. Basically everyone had TS clearance, and the way he said it worked was if you were supposed to be in certain areas, your superior gave you the clearance on an as needed and need to know level. There were no terms for this, just access, etc. He said that he never saw anything out of this world so to speak, but he did state that he saw hangers "LARGER THAN LIFE" over there that were heavily guarded, and he "even as a general was never allowed over or even close to them". FOr his entire 33 years all of his AF buddies always had stories and talked about Area 51 and WP AFB as having these incredibly large hangers, and also undergroundedit on 31-8-2011 by vincenz32 because: (no reason given)edit on 31-8-2011 by vincenz32 because: (no reason given)

In the first two sections-- I don't think there was a single item not matching known programs-- the kind which have press-releases. In the third section...
I'll just offer one example where credibility went out the window: Apollo 18 and beyond?
Just how did we build, transport and launch a Saturn V moon rocket and no one noticed?
All the Saturn Vs are accounted for. All Lunar Modules are accounted for. Tourists have been in and around the Vertical Assembly Building at the cape every day-- pretty sure someone would have noticed a moon rocket being stacked, not to mention, launched.

Well, who said that the APOLLO 19-22 missions used the saturn V or any form of "conventional" rocket ?

I.m sorry but I failed to notice any info/evidence that would make your refutation"bullet proof"?
I was being ironic in any case.

Someone just needs to bite the bullet (pun intended), and live stream an attempt to get past the gates of area 51. Not to that stupid sign, but where the camo dudes sit and beyond. If it's live streamed there's no way it can be confiscated.
The risk is more than likely death so I'm sure as hell not going to do it.
Just figured I'd put the idea out there for someone who has nothing to lose.

Dude I've worked for folks that make several million a year in take home. They are sometimes the least educated people I've ever met. Can't work excel. Can spell for crap in any of their emails. But they are CEOs and make s loads of money and are well respected. Sometimes it's not about what you know but what you do that makes or breaks you.
So can it with the if you were a successful business man your grammar and spelling would be perfect. Anal Grammar Snob.
