DATE: Sunday - December 17, 2017
HOST: George Knapp
GUESTS: Alejandro Rojas, Thornton Barnes
2017 has been another exciting year for UFO activity and news. In the first
half, Alejandro Rojas, UFO expert and researcher, joined George Knapp to discuss
UFO activity from the last 12 months, as well as the recent startling
announcement about the Pentagon's program to study UFOs, which ran from 2007 to
2012. This past year has been a chance to connect some of the dots in the UFO
mystery, said Rojas, whose organization Open Minds, named Tom DeLonge as the
"UFO researcher of the year." An associate of DeLonge's at his new To the Stars
Academy, Christopher Mellon, called in during the first hour. Mellon had been an
insider on classified projects and was instrumental in the just-published New
York Times coverage of the Pentagon's UFO program.
One of the fascinating revelations about the Pentagon's program is that they
collected metals and other materials recovered from unidentified aerial
phenomena. The study of these materials has the potential to advance
technologies or develop new ones, Rojas commented. In looking back at 2017, he
cited some of the more notable stories: the Chilean UFO footage (which turned
out to be an ordinary plane), the UK government's release of UFO files, the
actor Kurt Russell's admission that he saw the Phoenix Lights while he was
piloting a plane, and an update on the mysterious WOW signal.
--------------------------------
In 1955, the CIA established a clandestine base of operations in the Nevada
desert called Area 51 with a mission to protect the US from a growing communist
threat. Special projects there were shrouded in mystery, and before flying
rumors and legends for decades. In the latter half, author and Area 51 veteran
TD Barnes shared some of his first-hand stories, as well as formerly classified
info about the secret technology at the base. He played an important part in
taking apart and putting back together the first Soviet MiG plane ever acquired
by the US.
During this Cold War era, the U-2 program was more highly classified than the
atomic bomb, he noted. There was intense security for employees such as
himself-- he often did not know what co-workers were working on, and was not
allowed to tell his wife the specific nature of his work until 2009. Barnes
worked on the A-12, the military's first stealth plane, and revealed that a
variety of concept planes were flight tested out of Area 51 like the unusually
shaped Aurora, though these vehicles typically did not become operational. As to
current activity at the base, he suggested that craft now were mostly unmanned
and subsonic.
