I have never met him but have been in contact via internet for a few years and just made arrangements last week to have him as my guest on Coast to Coast next month. Am greatly looking forward to it.
I know a lot of people have made up their minds about him, and that he has been hammered relentlessly by the debunker folks. My information about him comes directly from the intelligence folks who worked with him for years and who tested his abilities in lab conditions and in the field. These are people I know well and trust implicitly and who held sensitive positions for many years. Every one of them says Geller is the real deal, that he can do things with his mind that are difficult to explain scientifically, and that he did, in fact, work for spook agencies for a period of time. Like i said, I have not met him, but I place a lot of trust in the opinions of the people who worked closely with him. I really do look forward to interviewing him and to reading the new book about his exploits that is due to be released in a week or two.

That sounds great. I recently watched a program on british t.v. which interviewed the scientists who studied Geller,a quantum physist and some c.i.a people. Geller claimed he was a spy for many different nations and that he use to wipe data with his mind. Absolutly fascinating. Best wishes George

George if your still here I'd love a comment
on your Aug.5th 2005 post on ATS to John Lear.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi John.....it sure is fun to recall some of the wild things that happened back in those days. In addition to the incident with the tires shot out, I recall being at Lazar's house immediately after one of the breaks-ins. The "burglars" didn't steal anything, but left all of his doors and windows open and wrote a few equations on his blackboard. Bob was pretty freaked out, as people might imagine.

Yes, there is someone from a prominent family who told me quite a bit about what has gone on at 51. He was definitely in a senior position out there, with credentials that are beyond dispute. He has intimiated to me that the video has been made in which he spills the beans about things at 51 and that the tape is being held by someone close to him. He is elderly and in poor health but is still alive.

Cash-Landrum is a very impressive case, in my view. John Schuessler, who did much of he original, boots on the ground, investigation is a rock-solid guy, and I think his work on that one has stood up to all challenges.
At a minimum, there should be some official files somewhere that would explain what the hell all of those military helicopters were doing in the area. Even if you have trouble believing it was some sort of alien craft that was spewing radiation, the choppers that served as escorts were ours, and so were the crews. So where are the files?

Well, there is a guy who worked "out there". I found him, rather than him finding me. After I figured out that he would have been in a position to know, I spent almost two years sort of stalking him, showing up at places where he was, striking up conversations. i got invited to his house, went through his scrap books, and over the course of the next several months, he revealed to me some incredible info about things that had been stored and tested in the desert, known only to a small group of highly trusted employees. he cut off contact with me, sort of abruptly because he said his former employers had found out he was talking to me, but he promised to record a videotaped deposition to be released after his death. I happen to know that he did record it, but he is still alive and kicking.

I think when his story is finally told, it will go a long way toward confirming a lot of what Lazar said, but it will also raise a heck of a lot of puzzling questions. I can't really say more than that because I made a promise.

Mr. Knapp have you ever had a chance to investigate the Dyatlov Pass incident are heard of it? and what might be your theories on the condition of the bodies of the hikers,

Just to add to what George has touched on asre people's academic credentials and working for the government. A couple of years ago the BBC in Britain ran a documentary about a guy who works for the government on the cyber security side of life. Now I've known him since he was kid, he a friend's son. His qualifications? Zilch, nada, not a one, he was arrested and sent down to a young offenders institute before he was old enough to take his GCSEs. Between the age of 13 and 15 he squirrelled away some 750K into a bank account and was only caught when a bank teller thought it strange that a "kid" of his age was trying to withdraw several thousand pounds in cash from a bank. It took the bank's own top computer people some weeks to trace back what he'd done and how he'd done it. He was recruited by the government to work for them before he'd even left the young offenders institution.

By the time he was 19, he had people with qualifications up the wazoo and decades of experience working for him. My guess would be that, Bob Lazar might well have been told to tell those he worked with that he had those qualifications in order so as not to put people's noses out of joint that is. He was given a cover story by his paymasters and told to stick to it. See, it's perfect in every way, while he's working for them everyone's happy, the moment he leaves, his credibility to many, is shot full of holes. Bob might well be akin to Peter Graves.... "The secretary will of course, disavow any knowledge of you or your operation, this tape will self destruct in 15 seconds"...

Thank You for your Reply:

Its a troubling incident. I was just looking through Dalbek's thread on it and he put together some good stuff, like the Nuclear Engine. I feel sorry for that family and I got an urge tingling to call all my representatives about it, for disclosure and help for that family and other families that experience these things. That family isn't alone in this!

Yeah that's a spooky incident, Colares is another one like that. The Chupa Chupa!




adding: I was just looking at Vicki's Landrums drawing of the diamond UFO, and it reminds me of some photographs and videos of a diamond one flickering and flashing.

Vicki's drawing isn't far from this

I googled "landrum UFO Drawing" and found a bunch, some from Betty and Vickie themselves.

Mr. Knapp have you investigated any of the animal mutilations?i have came across some interesting things doing some research on cattle and why the mutilations might be happening.#1 scientist are messing around with cattle human hybrids #2 cattle blood can be used in humans if blood is needed on a large scale #3 aliens might be using the blood of cattle as food not in the sense they drink it but they absorb it through the skin for the chlorophyll properties since cattle are fed wheat grass just for that may element it improves fertility. Do you have any theories on why this is happening?

Sorry one more question Mr. Knapp, do you believe Travis Walton is telling the truth on his alien abduction

reply to post by jasmine23


History Channel just tried discrediting Walton in their How bleeped your Brain is show. They did a couple other Shenanigans on that show too..

That show is the perfect example of Mind Cleaning a population!

Syfy on the other hand did really really decent show with Walton and a bunch of them, even the Sheriff and Polygraph expert were on the show as well. I know you can't believe everything you see on TV. Walton portrayed that he wanted to right some of the wrongs from the movie, and he got to do that with this.

I have 2 nitpicks on the Syfy documentary tho. One was the Man Travis encountered was in a Blue Jumpsuit with a Glass dome over his head, and when the costume designers heard walton say it looked like a NASA jumper, i think they took it a little too far, it was a costume thing, along with my next nitpick, the Aliens Walton described were more primate less Reptilian. Syfy channel costume designers portrayed them as reptilian like.

After thought: Maybe the designers portrayed them as reptilian based on the description of air quality. Walton said the air was heavy, humid hot and muggy. The way a reptile would like it. From listening to Interviews of Walton, I got more of a Humanoid mammal impression of the grays. Walton also said the grays had Pupils, and he could clearly remember seeing their pupils and thought how much like his or ours they were or something like that. I got the impression instead of eggs, they would carry and milk their young.

I bet he was griping about the same things too!

I'm sorry for filling your thread with posts Mr. Knapp, its just all the topics are so interesting, I'll slow down now....

Hello George Knapp! I've been a great fan of yours for a long time now; I made an account just to talk to you, and I've been reading ATS for years now... I can really respect all the hard grueling work that you've done over the years and how you tenaciously don't give up fighting for the truth to get out to us less informed people even when it gets hot and heavy, and I can really respect that. I ask you good sir, will the masses ever be aware of the fact that we are all in hell and are all immortal gods who unknowingly are playing puppet masters to these fragile human doll bodies and at some point we were cast down out of "the heavens" and plagued with amnesia to forcibly be reincarnated in prison-Earth? Or will time just keep going on without most of Earth ever knowing the truth about reality? If you can't answer I understand but I will continue to respect you. Keep up the good work man!
Sincerely, Wyatt

P.S.- I really have a great deal of respect for the owner of this site as well and for the awesome staff, you guys do one hell of a job at keeping it real here, and that's why this site is so important to me as well as countless others. Keep spreading the truth brothers!

Hey George Knapp, Ive been a long time listener to Coast to Coast, and just a HUGE fan of you and your work.

So if I could ask you anything, I guess I would ask you whats the weirdest request or threat you have gotten from a government agency, and why. If you have never been threatened then what is the craziest anomoly you have ever witnessed, whether its strange lights, paranormal, BigFoot, etc.... And do you think Government disclosure is in the near future.

Mr. Knapp,

You did the first reporting on Area 51 in the late 80's, did you hesitate to broach the subject of E.T.'s and do you feel like it was more or less mainstream and acceptable to talk about then?


Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions

Hello George,

I've enjoyed your work through the years and joined ATS just to ask this question.

In my own research I've been looking for links between the above ground science world and the 'black' world with regards to UFO research. I've been specifically looking into areas regarding advanced propulsion physics people who appear to have feet in both worlds, perhaps acting as liaisons between them (for whatever reason).

Have you looked into either of these guys??? Alan C. Holt and Marc Millis

The reason I ask is because both of these guys have been involved in research and crossed some interesting paths which may or may not be able to verify at least part of Bob Lazar's story.

I apologize for the length of the material below but it is just the tip of a bunch of stuff I've found which you might be interested in and it serves as a good starting point.

Alan C. Holt - NASA - Johnson Spaceflight Center (where he has been based since the 1980s), former head of MUFON's Advanced Propulsion Workshop (while still working at NASA) and publisher of the following papers:
"TM-80961; JSC-16073 N80-19184 - Field Reseonance Propulsion Concept - National Aeronautics & Space Administration - Washington, DC - August 79"

ntrs.nasa.gov...
Image of the above document in case it is offline: i.imgur.com...

Field Resonance Propulsion as described by Holt would explain how some UFOs may operate over interstellar distances. The propulsion enables a sort of teleportation, enabling one to traverse great distances in a short period of time. System would involve interaction between two separate energy systems: light (laser] and gravitation, according to Gallimore. Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas: NASA, Aug. 1979. 10 p. (NASA-TM-80961; JSC-16073) Paper presented at the AIAA/SAE/ASME Joint Propulsion Conference, 15th, Las Vegas, Nevada, June 18-20, 1979.

Note the similarity to the diagram on Page 7 to the description of the Kenneth Arnold UFO:

Also of note is that Alan C. Holt is linked to Douglas Torr who along with Ning Li tried to replicate Russian physicist Eugene Podkletnov's gravity shielding experiments which Podkletnov conducted at the University of Tampere, Finland

www.wired.com...
www.thelivingmoon.com...

Torr worked at NASA Johnson Center in Houston on work related to Field Propulsion including an experiment using particle accelerators in space on the shuttle Columbia on the STS-9 mission:
science.ksc.nasa.gov...

NASA Photo ID: S83-45180 File Name: 10061656.jpg
Film Type: 35mm BW Date Taken: 12/02/83
Title: STS-9/Spacelab 1 mission control center activity
Description:

particle accelerators (SEPAC) team monitor the status of that experiment's
instrumentation onboard the Spacelab module in the Space shuttle Columbia.
The two are at consoles in the payload operations control center (POCC) on
the second floor of JSC's mission control center (45180); Robert Basedow,

cargo bay's aft end pallet. The two are plotting real time measurements
(45181).
Subject terms:
CONSOLES
FLIGHT CONTROL
GROUND BASED CONTROL
INTEGRATED MISSION CONTROL CENTER
MISSION OPERATIONS
PERSONNEL

Description of STS-9's mission: "Over the course of the mission, seventy-two scientific experiments were carried out, spanning the fields of atmospheric and plasma physics, astronomy, solar physics, material sciences, technology, life sciences and Earth observations. The Spacelab effort went so well that the mission was extended an additional day to 10 days, making it the longest-duration shuttle flight at that time."

So what connects that mission to Alan C. Holt?

Well, Alan C. Holt, Eric W. Davis (from Robert Bigelow's NIDS) and Hal Putoff published another paper on manufacturing materials in space for breakthrough propulsion physics:

"AIAA-99-2143 Space Testing of Electromagnetically Sensitive Materials for Breakthrough Propulsion Physics"
Alan C. Holt, Senior Member, NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX - Eric W. Davis, Ph.D. National Institute for Discovery Science, Las Vegas, NV - Hal Puthoff, Ph.D. Institute for Advanced Studies, Austin, TX"

www.earthtech.org...

What does this have to do with Bob Lazar?

Bob Lazar stated the materials in the ET craft he examined could only be produced in space so the above research looks as though it was investigating how to do just that with an eye towards breakthrough propulsion physics.

Douglas Torr was part of NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program. Torr and Holt are linked in two key ways:

Douglas Torr from NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program monitored a space mission at mission control devoted in part to material sciences. In 1999 Alan C Holt who wrote the 1979 Field Propulsion paper wrote the other one on Space Testing Electromagnetically Sensitive materials for Breakthrough Propulsion Physics.

1. Torr was at Houston during Holts time there and Holt wrote a paper in 1999 for Torr's program
2. Torr monitored an experiment in 1983 at mission control devoted to the work in the 1999 paper

Marc Millis who headed up NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program and runs an outfit called "Tau Zero" regularly visits Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and was referred to in this paper:

"AFIT/GA/ENY/12-M06 -Gravitational Lens Deep Space Probe Design:" Berkley R. Davis, B.S. Second Lieutenant, USAF - Approved: Timothy Lawrence, Col, USAF (Chairman) - Carl Hartsfield, Lt Col, USAF (Member) - Marc G. Millis (Member)

Again, I apologize for the length of this question/lead but I was wondering if you ever heard of any of this or might be interested in pursuing the "grey world"?

You're about one of the few investigative journalists who 1) still investigates and would 2) be interested in any of this.

reply to post by JadeStar


That's one heck of a first post !
Hope you stay around. And I hope George addresses your questions.
Very intriguing. And well laid out I might add.

Hi George!

I would like to know what you think or know about the Luciferian Society (founded by Alice Bailey) being behind alot of governmental groups as a whole. For example, the Luciferians are a direct "council" to the United Nations. Do you have any insight into how infiltrated this group is, the influence they have on our government or anything else?

I do believe that we are in the end days according to christian prophecy and the fulfillment of Jesus and everything else in the Bible, so I think this is a very important question that needs insight, investigation and answers.

Thank you!

George Knapp did not answer my question but this is typical as my questions are always skipped when it comes to an invited researcher answering them. Though I got his opinion on Bob Lazar from another response to another member, so perhaps the Staff here can somehow think of group questions which would eliminate the need to answers the same for every member.

Regardless of whether it will be answered, I will ask something not asked so far:

What does G. Knapp think of the Phoenix lights case? A short summary: lights were seen in the sky, 2 hours later the Air Force released flares claiming that's what there were. Many witnesses claimed to have seen an aircraft, large boomerang shaped, hovering, some 'liquid body' of the craft was seen at its bottom, even the mayor who mocked at the claim about aliens, admitted he did see the aircraft.

Was that some military aircraft covered up to look like alien, or was it not man-made? What are Mr Knapp's findings on that?

Mr. Knapp have you ever investigated into the strange sky noises that people are hearing all over the world? I in fact heard the huge rumbling noise and it definitely was coming from the sky,it sent fear through my body in all my years here on earth i have never heard a sound like it.Would like to hear your opinions on this

reply to post by sealing



Thanks. There is quite a bit more. I wish I knew how to start a thread here on ATS (been a reader for a long time and listener to both George Knapp on C2CAM and the crew on ATS Radio)

Whenever I try I just get a blank screen. I guess because I'm new?

FYI: A lot of the documents are on public servers 'hidden in plain sight' under subjects like "Food Irradiation for long term storage and preservation." etc One just has to know what they are looking for and where to look. Literally tens of thousands of uninteresting papers can mask an interesting one.

Also as George Knapp said there are private organizations and companies who this stuff seems to have been passed to in the late 70s/early 80s onward.

Thats why I have looked for people who straddle both official, above ground, on-the-record government/private industry advanced propulsion and materials research and the 'black" world or the UFO world.

One would guess that the black world would want to stay abreast of what was going on above ground or might even seed ideas, concepts and technologies to the above ground world to work on a problem which perhaps stumped the black world.

No matter how big the black program there is a limit to the amount of intellectual resources (scientists, experiment platforms, labs) they have access to so reaching out to the much larger intellectual base of above ground science might be necessary.

I got tired of much of UFOlogy just being story telling sessions and decided to get back to the kind of work that went on in the 1980s when organizations like CAUS filed FOIAs.

In other words, nuts and bolts documents with real people's names, credible scientists, actual real research which is more about how the subject interfaces with our scientific knowledge base than say, the paranormal (dreams, ghosts, etc).

Someone once said (I think it was John Alexander) that there was no need for disclosure because all the information was already disclosed if you knew where to look.

I've been fortunate to have someone tip me off to the types of 'hidden in plain sight" documents which are out there for the public, but mostly unknown BY the public.

And no one would be the wiser unless they knew who and what to look for and where to look.

Anyway, I hope Mr. Knapp appreciates the question/info.

Hello and welcome Mr. Knapp.

I would like to know what your thoughts are on the Alien Interview video released in 1997. No one has come forward to claim it to be a hoax and I find it interesting that it shows DNI (Department of Naval Intelligence) at the bottom the tape because it happens to be the same Department that Bob Lazar claimed to be working for.

Do you think there is a relation between the man in the video called "Victor" and Bob Lazar? There is a video on youtube where they use software to take the pitch of "Victor's" voice back original, unedited voice and guess who it sounds like...Bob Lazar. The video doesn't prove The Alien Interview to be fake in opinion even if "Victor" is Lazar. I still believe that it is the most legitimate footage of an EBE on film.

I would like to hear your thoughts.

Here is the link to the video for those who are interested: www.youtube.com...
