All,
This is the following text which I posted on several scientific and
military newsgroups. Feel free to spread it around. Maybe we'll pick
up some useful responses? Comments?
Jan
I am doing some serious research into an idea and I would very much
like to communicate with anyone who can provide me with information,
assistance or pointers to further research. I have been digging deeply
into the work of astronomers and scientists - from historical times to
the present.
Like everyone else I have always taken it for granted that NASA is
knocking up one first after another. But gradually over several months
some new thoughts have been dawning upon me and I wish to conduct
serious research into the following concept:
  Is NASA really at the cutting edge of space exploration?
Silly question? Perhaps. But hear me out.
BackGround: Top Secret Military Drones...
A friend of mine in National Intelligence in Pretoria told me some
years ago that a lot of Air Force work around the world was being
conducted on pilotless drones. He told me it was the "hot-button" of
major airforces around the world. He hinted at the existence of
pilotless, stealth bombers (which can drop nuclear bombs) and other
planes. He told me that most of these planes are tested at night in
various places. He told me that they regularly fly over Pretoria.
I made contact with an engineer in the USA. His work brings him into
contact with many new US aircraft projects. When I wrote about drone
research on Internet a year ago, this gentleman came forward and
confidentially gave me a few quiet pointers. He confirmed what my
friend in National Intelligence had been telling me.
In many places around the world people think they are seeing UFOs when
in fact they are witnessing airforce experiments. Example: Triangular
shaped craft flying around. Recently I think such an incident took
place near Phoenix. Much was made of it in UFO circles.
About 18 months ago, people in Pretoria saw a large bright light
floating over Pretoria. They called the Police. Some 120 police in
patrol cars began chasing this "UFO" across Pretoria at break-neck
speed and out into the country-side. Video footage was shot of this
incident. The Police radioed for a Police helicopter to assist in the
chase. The Police helicopter chased the "UFO" in the early hours of
the morning. Later the Pilot of the helicopter stated on National TV
that he'd seen a "UFO" and he even filed a report with one of the
International UFO societies. But during this incident the Police
control room radioed the South African Air Force base nearby to
immediately scramble a jet to intercept the UFO. The South African Air
Force refused the request. Didn't they care that 120 Policemen were
racing at breakneck speeds through Pretoria assisted by a helicopter?
Didn't they care that something foreign was in our air space? Or did
the SAAF know something which was too secret to tell the Police? Some
months later I had a braai (barbque) with my Intelligence friend. What
did he think of this "UFO". He laughed and told me (as he had done
before), that many strange things fly above Pretoria at night. He said
it was very possibly a misidentification of an "air force experiment."
This was when he told me some more about drones and elaborated some
more on what he knew about airforces around the world. His work had
brought him into contact with people in Europe and America and
sometimes he went on missions there. He knew quite a bit of what was
going in this field.
Later I mentioned this at a company I was doing consulting for, when a
guy there, Brian (whom I have known for many years), told me how he
had witnessed such a drone one day in 1972. He told me that he was
stationed at an Infantry base near Pretoria which bordered on
Swartkops AFB. There were rumours in the camp of a small airforce
plane. But most of the guys thought it was just a joke. They stood
guard in the various towers around the base. Brian confirmed what my
buddy had told me. That when nightfall came, and as soon as it was
properly dark, the little plane would take off. One night he had the
good fortune to see it. He saw a hanger door open and a tiny 12 ft
long plane came trundling out. He heard a slight whine, and the little
plane with a bullet-shaped nose and short stubby wings raced down the
runway and took off steeply into the dark night sky with no lights on.
As it became airborne a secondary engine seemed to kick in. The engine
was very quiet and it made more of a buzzing noise. Once it was high
enough you wouldn't hear it any more. The plane dissappeared into the
night sky. Two hours later he suddenly heard the buzzing noise again
and the little plane ducked down out of the dark night sky and landed
swiftly. No long winded process. It just dived down, landed neatly -
the hanger doors opened and within seconds the little plane
dissappeared from sight. It was all so fast and slick that to most of
the soldiers in the infantry base, right next to the runway - that
