I've been hanging about here since 2006, but tonight I think I'll try to tell of this gigasignificant turning point in my life. And of course, I just made this here account, as I'd rather not be harboring a MyATS full of ahundred opinions on politics and spur of the moment posts you wish you could take back, and so forth. I mean, I'd just rather be a clean slate about it. Just because, I dunno.
I am a female AF veteran, active duty enlisted, all during the Reagan administration. In 1981 I was assigned to Nellis in Nevada after the training schools. I was new and lowest ranking, but was given a TS/CRYPTO/NATO clearance, If you saw (or merely rent on amazon, etc, and..see) that 1985 movie called The Falcon And The Snowman, well I was put into a cryptographic communications message nerve center very like the one assigned to convicted spy Christopher Boyce, played by Timothy Hutton. His was called TRX but it was reallly TRW. Mine was all military, but still --the same-- .
No, we did not make margaritas in a shredder.
The 'fear of God' was put into us not to sit there and read teletype text, but one time I saw 'UFOB' in the text.
Myself and most of the airman coworkers lived off base in North Las Vegas in apartments. One day, off base, I came into unauthorized possession of a document, 'classified' on the top and bottom, properly, TS/For/Official/Eyes Only. I will direct you later, to a link which tells about how that "unauthorized possession" came about. No, there is no book or dvd (or website of mine.)
This teletype I had, was intelligence reporting about how a group of "objects" came in from "deep space" and "outside the solar system" and then entered an orbit in earth's atmosphere of something like, 16 or 26 "mach" and then 3 of them broke off from the "cluster" and went into the Soviet Union, Moscow area. Where they hung about there, for about an hour. The document continued, that, AWACS tracked them as far as the planes could go.
I will post this for now, because I want to fetch some "pictures, cuz it did happen", and someone more savvy and soforth, might jump in and say "it's not a good idea for you to proceed here with this," or, "proceed, by all means." Hehehehehe...........(gulp)
I realized I need to say this, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night, and far worseley, knowing that certain authorities presently, like to kill and jail people for far lesser infractions. And also, I -did- "say this", but it was in one of those posts I had removed. (Sorry, but I got jumpy and discouraged.) The "this" IS: In regards to my Disclosure of the "teletype" on page one,
It was 'determined' by the people who were "hauling (me) in" on that base, for the ufo telex, that it was a "hoax", created by a comcenter person, which realization of that, 'encouraged' me to feel cooperative in bringing it back to where it belonged, (which was into those authorities' possession).
Otherwise, the first page looks like I am committing a flagrant violation against 'national security'.

do you care to share a nutshell?
In another thread calling for military ufo & uso accounts, I jumped in and posted this.

I had/have no problem you posting in my thread, In fact, I encourage it. I just didn't want you to post something that could cause harm to be done to you.
I would love to hear your story, however, I just don't want you to jeopardize your well being.

I would like to know if you could tell me how it is possible to determine the "objects" were from outside the solar system or deep space.
If you or others could expand in a technical manner on that ability, I would like to hear it.

Thanks for your reply.
My request was directed more at the ability to detect objects "outside the solar system".

I am pretty sure that's hyperbole.
I appreciate your inquiring mind, ask me anything you ever want, I'll answer to the best of my ability.

However, it produced uniquely valuable high resolution images of relatively bright astronomical objects, allowing for a number of discoveries to be made by HST even in its aberrated condition.
WFPC was proposed by James A. Westphal, a professor of planetary science at Caltech, and was designed, constructed, and managed by JPL. At the time it was proposed, 1976, CCDs had barely been used for astronomical imaging, though the first KH-11 KENNAN reconnaissance satellite equipped with CCDs for imaging was launched in December 1976.[1] The high sensitivity offered such promise that many astronomers strongly argued that CCDs should be considered for Hubble Space Telescope instrumentation.
Reference has already been made to sea-based tracking in support not only of Earth orbital missions, but deep space flights as well.

So she just made all that up about the Top Secret document?

I don't know if the ufo printout I had was 'real' or what. I am no expert in space nor space technology,
nor deep space tracking of ufos, (to say the very least) I was a youngster who rubberstamped things,
and made sure messages got to their addressees. and the truth of what you truly want to know about
these matters, under the purview of the alphabet agencies, well good luck with that, then.
My Nevada work in regards to this thread, pertained to the keyhole 11. Here is a military news link, which tells about that.
www.militaryperiscope.com...
I had gotten the ufo printout sometime in October of 1981, and according to this link, a kh was launched a month before. I find that interesting.
www.astronautix.com...
So there's this device called the Wide Field and Planetary Camera.
en.wikipedia.org...
And I found this text --most-- interesting.

Look at how curious and relevent, this is! The NRO donates a spysat to NASA, to aid it's dark energy studies.
Who'da thunk?
www.space.com...
I found this of interest, that JPL has a deep space network which goes back to the 1950s.
deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov...
Most intriguing to me, this from something called Globalsecurity.org
www.globalsecurity.org...
Reference has already been made to sea-based tracking in support not only of Earth orbital missions, but deep space flights as well.
What is deep space? "Any region of space beyond the earth and moon."

I'll post these fer just right now
and 2 b continued in short order.
I thank you for you PATIENCE, hint, hint, hint,
