I have no further information on the witness from Shawn, other than that she had a previous experience with UFOs in Tennessee in 1968 and did two years of college training as a dental technician, but took no science courses.

Described by Bill Gunston as comprising a fixed beacon emitting a fixed circular horizontal radiation pattern at 108–118 MHz, on which is superimposed a rotating directional pattern at 30 Hz, giving output whose phase modulation is unique for each bearing from the beacon. “Thus airborne station can read from panel instrument bearing of aircraft from station, called inbound or outbound radial …” The Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary (Second Edition), by Bill Gunston, Cambridge University Press, New York, 2009, p. 760.

Probably owing to his status as a barrister (Pennsylvania Bar), he used a number of pseudonyms for some of his books, e.g. “Yogi Ramacharaka” and “Theron Q. Dumont.” First published by the Psychic Research Company (New York) and Yogi Publication Society (Chicago) at the start of the 20th century, many of these books are still in print. As an introduction, I recommend Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy (1903).

  54. Ronson, Jon, “Game Over,” The Guardian/Guardian Unlimited, London, July 9, 2005. In May 2011, despite a lengthy and intensive campaign mounted by the Daily Mail and the support of numerous politicians (including Prime Minister David Cameron), President Obama’s top law officer, Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, vowed to “take all of the necessary steps” to have Gary—who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome—extradited and “held accountable for the crimes that he committed.” Previously, in conversation with Mr. Cameron at the White House, Mr. Obama had promised to find an “appropriate solution” (Daily Mail, London, May 13, 2011). The matter was raised again by the Prime Minister during President Obama’s visit to Britain in late May 2011. “We have proceeded through all the processes required under our extradition agreements,” the president stated. “It’s now in the hands of the British legal system.” (Daily Mail, May 26, 2011.) In October 2012, Britain’s Home Secretary Theresa May vetoed the extradition.

  The Americans were furious. The U.S. Department of Justice expressed disappointment at the Home Secretary’s decision, “particularly given the past decisions of the U.K. courts and prior Home Secretaries that he should face trial in the United States.” It did not, however, view the ruling as a precedent for other cases. U.S. lawyer David Rivkin criticised Ms. May’s decision, saying that to deny the extradition on health grounds was “laughable.” (Kumar, Nikhil, “U.S. disappointed by ‘laughable’ decision,” The Independent, London, October 17, 2012). For a lengthy period, it was likely that Gary would face prosecution in a British court of law. No longer.

  “On the 14th December, 2012,” Gary wrote to me in March 2013, “we were awaiting a decision from the United Kingdom Crown Prosecution Service as to whether or not I would have to face a UK trial … with some trepidation, we awaited the outcome of this decision, having been told it would be on this day. To our huge relief, the CPS, having formed a special panel with the Metropolitan Police (which is highly unusual in these circumstances) decided that a UK prosecution would be of no use and that they probably wouldn’t be able to get a conviction.”

Arthur Stansel, a supervisory engineer who worked at Wright Air Development Center (Aircraft Laboratory) during this period, was the first to publicly release information on the Kingman, Arizona, incident of May 1953.

  32. On June 15, 2006, I was in Washington, D.C. A front-page article in that day’s Washington Post got my attention: “Hawaiian Marine Reserve to be World’s Largest.” President George W. Bush had announced plans to designate an island chain covering roughly 1,400 by 100 miles northwest of Hawaii as a national monument—the largest protected marine reserve in the world. The reserve would have been nearly 140,000 square miles, an area nearly the size of Montana, to which access would be strictly controlled. I immediately recalled the alien base allegedly located within that area, and wondered if there was a connection.

  34. It will be recalled that Barbara Beavers was told by the aliens on board a craft in Yucca Valley, California, in November 1977 that the propulsion system included a “cloud chamber consisting of plasma and electromagnetism” (Chapter 12). It is also worth mentioning that research by physicists into plasma fields has been ongoing officially for a number of years: “There is a wide range of possible applications of plasma aerodynamics,” says Dr. Sergey B. Leonov, a professor at the Laboratory of Experimental Plasma Aerodynamics, Russian Academy of Sciences. “Not all are well-developed, but some are not far from practical realization …” (Aviation Week & Space Technology, Vol. 173, No. 38, October 24/31, 2011, p. 78.)
