Our Heroes Betrayed 

The Other Side Of The Flatwoods Monster

The 65th Anniversary of the Flatwoods Monster Incident

by Alfred Lehmberg with Frank C. Feschino, Jr.

PART IV of IV

Before: Institutional infidelity, by the book official obfuscation, and Fish in Denmark.

~~

Officiality would appear to stumble. Simple addition fails to add up. Intellectual cowardice seems manifest.

Most interesting were the transcripts from the two official "Aircraft Accident Investigating Board" meetings held at Tyndall AFB. These were contained in the examined 65-page accident report Feschino received. Feschino studied the transcript from the original board meeting and found that it was filled with outrageous inconsistencies, a lack of information and was in the altogether, a convoluted mess. To wit:

The four persons at the Tyndall tower in control of the jet when it vanished offered absurd answers to the investigating board! They were vague in giving specific information throughout the meeting. Furthermore, during most of the assemblage, these tower controllers failed to give the investigators the specific times of the jets location throughout its flight, even when asked point blank! Why were these tower controllers being so evasive with their answers to the board? Why were they conducting themselves regarding details about the incident like it was pulling eye teeth? Why were they so evasive in giving pertinent times that would reconstruct a timeline of events? Why were they even allowed this inexplicable recalcitrance?! 

It seems obvious to this writer that the tower men were avoiding the questions so as to not be forced to reconstruct a timeline painting a very different picture of events from what actually occurred! As recorded unquestionably, the answers given by those officials in control of the jet were professionally abominable and a disgrace to the two vanished pilots who disappeared under their watch! 

Well, that first board didn't fly! A second board was convened, "in order to reach a comprehensive conclusion in the case," according to the AAIB. Here reader, after further review which included unwarranted, unsubstantiated, and degrading "second thought" accusations against the pilot, the board revealed their conclusion in a "Report of AF Aircraft" paper.

"The primary cause of this accident was that the pilot failed to keep himself oriented at all times while on instruments." 

As alluded too, this writer was a master military aviator. The preceding is a handy goto in blame assignment, especially when the pilot's dead.

The document also states that the "Contributing cause factors" concerning the missing jet blamed both the pilot and Tyndall Tower controllers; "1. Pilot failed to exercise proper emergency facilities available to him. 2. Tyndall Tower failing to properly advise the pilot to declare an emergency and go to the emergency 'D' channel."

Well there you have it reader, both the pilot and the tower were at fault! Wait! This is not over yet! 

Three days later, a "REBUTTAL STATEMENT" by the Tyndall "Tower Officer-In-Charge was filed to clear the tower men of their incompetence and put the entire blame on the pilot. Later, in January of 1953, this rebuttal was approved and any other persons previously castigated were officially stricken from the record by the "Acting Deputy Inspector General"! The hapless pilot was given the full blame for his own disappearance!

The cause was determined to be: "Pilot's failure to exercise emergency facilities available to him."  Blame the dead guy is ever the rug under which an inconsistency can always be swept... where that is allowed.

Again, the "contributing cause factor" of the missing jet was blamed on the pilot or "pilot error." Subsequent to his error, the jet was said to have "flamed out" or run out of gas!

But wait! Upon further analysis and review, Feschino discovered that the stories provided by the Air Force to the newspapers, as compared to the information contained in the original ADC telegrams and Tyndall letter to the family, and then the 65-page accident report... were NOT the same! That's just... sloppy! This cannot be the result of TWO Flight Evaluation Boards! Yet, it was.

Yes, each version of the missing jet was demonstrably different from the others, each containing varying accounts of the whole affair! For example, Feschino discovered that the 65-page report actually contained THREE different times where the jet was said to have run out of gas and "flamed out." This is an occurrence, the reader is reminded, that can only happen once! Yet, this point was never raised or addressed during any of the two boards held at Tyndall AFB, which were said to be, "strictly fact finding" by Major Pompetti, the acting president of the "Aircraft Accident Investigating Board." Sincerely, no "facts" were found, iterated, or examined!

Additionally, the report actually gives two different time lengths for the total duration of the jet's flight from takeoff to disappearance, which shows a four-minute differential. This is just the mere tip of the misreported iceberg. It is apparent that one end of the subterfuge didn't know what the other end was doing! There is much, much more...

Additional examples of this cover-up show that during the initial press conference, for example, it was never said that Jones was flying his F-94B with any other F-94 B jets on this alleged "routine weather training mission." Yet the Tyndall AFB letter from Kleine to the Jones family stated there were "three other aircraft" with him during the mission ...and Chidlaw's original telegram to the family stated "all aircraft." 

Finally, the Aircraft Accident Report revealed that there were actually FIVE other jets that were part of that "B" flight mission that day! Why the varying information concerning the number of jets with Jones during the period specified? ...Just sloppy, or contrived obfuscation?

A mysterious complication had also arisen that day, perhaps kicking off the cover-up of the missing jet... later spiraling an operational reality into a web of spackling lies and contrived deceit. It all began with "a set of unusual circumstances" at Tyndall AFB. It was reported that Tyndall Range (specifically Navigation communications/radio NAV) went off the air after an hour into the mission of "B" flight!  Several pilots advised that their radio compasses were inoperative and all they could hear was static. Needles no longer pointed to navigation stations. That's not good.

Air war with ET at night?

The explanation: this was said to have occurred during an "alleged power change-over to test the emergency power at the base"... This, during the exact time three jets were just beginning letting down procedures! This simply does not happen, reader! You don't screw around on tests with aircraft in near-emergency trying to get down!

Nonetheless, one of those jets was being piloted by Jones! What was that, reader? An unscheduled power change-over test taking place at the base during the time when numerous jets were just descending propitiously to land likely low on fuel? Who would authorize that ridiculous and dangerous order, this writer and retired military master aviator asks? 

Then disaster strikes! At switchover, the emergency power failed to go on at that point and the radios failed to operate for a full five minutes. Subsequently, the power maintenance personnel were allegedly contacted on landline and advised to reset the commercial power by these concerned tower controllers. This is an absurd explanation! Who pulled the switch for the radios, and why?

Here, reader, is the point in time where the story loses any coherence and just spirals out of control. Posted: the convoluted lies and cover-up all seem to have begun here at Tyndall AFB on September 12, 1952! There's a book about this. 

What actually caused the base to lose power, and what happened during those lost five minutes? This, friends and neighbors, might be seen to be the beginning of the end of the Air Force's cover-up concerning missing jets!

Blame the dead guy?!

See, upon further analysis and review to reach a coherent conclusion, remember, Feschino discovers that the original story given to the newspapers by the Air Force spokesmen, when compared to the information contained in the original ADC telegram and Tyndall letter to the family, and then the 65-page accident report... flatly, there were NOT the same! Each version of the missing jet was inexplicably different and contained varying accounts of the whole affair! How is this overlooked in two flight eval boards?

After years of inquiry and with all the information he had in hand, Feschino put together a meticulous timeline of events recreating the scenario as told by the Air Force. His concise initiative shows authorities to be perpetrating a seeming massive cover-up, perhaps! He found that the circumstances of events involving the disappearance of the two airmen and their jet did NOT happen the way the Air Force explained it. That scenario, chronicling a vast impossibly, was without challenged sense! The story, especially given the loss of life and high dollar machine, just didn't add up.

Yet reader, with all the consistencies and holes in the Air Force's story, the contributing cause factor of the missing jet was still assigned blame to the pilot. Dismissively, in anticlimax, the story ended when the Starfire jet was determined to have inevitably, and simply, run out of gas...

This "futile flameout" allegedly occurred over the Gulf of Mexico about 70 miles northwest of Tampa. The F-94B jet was reported to be on a southeast heading toward Tampa's MacDill AFB and being guided by their control tower after being handed off by the Tyndall tower controllers.

Close to closing, this writer asks the following questions:

1. When Jones was flying southeast across the Gulf of Mexico and supposedly, lost and low on fuel, why didn't Tyndall tower redirect him back towards their home base instead of guiding him all the way across the Gulf to MacDill in Tampa? The weather was better. In actuality, close examination of Air Force records shows that the F-94B jet was being directed into increasingly adverse weather conditions as it traveled southeast toward Tampa! 

2. How did the MacDill AFB lose track of this jet when it was in last voice communication with the pilot and simultaneously tracking it on radar? For The Record: MacDill AFB had a massive ground control approach radar nicknamed, "HOMER."

Additionally, it's noted that during the course of this entire episode that Jones was supposedly lost and FUBARing around over Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and Georgia, he was in voice communication and being tracked by radars in the following locations... yet the USAF still couldn't get this jet back home and on the ground.

A. Tyndall AFB, Panama City, FL.

B. Moody AFB, Valdosta, GA;

C. Tallahassee Airport, FL.

D. MacDill AFB, Tampa, FL.

3. Was this jet actually lost throughout the southeast or was it directed to and actually chasing a UFO and being guided by Air Force radar?

4. Why did Jones and DelCurto fail to eject from their plane after it allegedly flamed out? A mission planned over water would have some kind of crew flotation. That was the rule when this pilot served just a few years later... No, sounds all too familiar, folks. Money paid, the reader takes his chance.

5. The jet was said to be lost (four radars?) and low on gas, then disappeared approximately 70 miles off the west coast of Florida over the Gulf waters as it headed toward MacDill AFB. At the time of the jet's disappearance, it was in communication with MacDill tower. This writer asks: Since the approximate last location of the jet was known, why was the Air Force unable to find any wreckage of the jet or the airmen's bodies?  

Consider, too, a sobering quote made forty years ago! In reference to lost American airmen and their aircraft in his 1977 book, Situation Red, well-known UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield wrote that, "...Back in the early 1950s, when I knew of the jet scrambles that sometimes led to disaster, I agreed with Keyhoe's writings that in these we may know the intent of the UFO. I also agreed that 'losing our aircraft to the UFO' may have been the reason for official secrecy, fearing the public would panic if they knew the truth." 

Stop.

The injustice of all this official, even IF well meaning, obfuscation and slight of hand buggers belief, reader! ...Throws it over a wing-backed chair and has its way with it!

...That such selfless nerve of valiantly gallant men should earn these repellently unjust "rewards" of censure and condemnation. Outrageous!

Courageous men, brave and true, were killed in bizarre and inexplicable situations or never seen again, but subsequently remembered as unremarkable failures of their National faith and military professionalism, running out of gas or just steering into the ground, panicked in flights of two, three, and four, officials would have us believe. This writer was a military aviator, a Master, awarded Master Wings. This is just the way a fallen pilot would NOT prefer to be remembered, eh?  ...And for what?

To keep us in our infant's crib and beholden to psychopaths and oligarchs, milking what's left from fossil fuel to degrade the life quality of working people denied their keys to inner and outer space?! Mores the rub!  Courage is betrayed! Cowardice is institutionalized.

Shambling in devolution to its alternative Bethlehem to be born, a Nation would seem to abdicate its nobility, the remotest ability to see beyond itself... all enlightenment and personal enrichment—any reasonable and appropriate satisfaction—self-denied! The Low Road.

There's a higher road. This writer suggests that higher road. Embrace the conjecture that we cannot be alone in a universe of space, time, and surface area, areas easily hidden behind a grain of sand held at arm's length anywhere in the day or nighttime sky. Wrap your arms around this yawning expanse to achieve a new humility sans all hubris... elevate yourself higher than you would have imagined, rewarded by unending frontiers currently hidden by a virtual infinity of those self-same sand grains. We begin by honoring the memories of men and women bravely fallen in our service.

Be intrepid, gallant, and fearless like Lieutenant Jones. Celebrate persons of consummate bravery; don't dismiss, degrade, and defile their memory for the short-sighted convenience of men not worth a back-hand from the pilots they betray! Bad news does not get better with age, if it is bad, and this writer's intuition is that much of it is far from just that. Salvation and a kingdom could be at hand in truth! 

Now reader, looming on the closing of this essay, let us not forget that the upcoming September 12th is the 65th anniversary of the "Flatwoods Monster" incident, as well as another monumental event—an overlooked event! This is an event where numerous UFO sightings occurred along the east coast of America, which has now come to be known as the "September 12, 1952 Flap." On that historic day, there were numerous documented UFOs sighted, which flew, landed, and or were forced down by jet fighters ordered, Presidentially, to "Shoot Them Down."

This becomes abundantly apparent when Feschino documents the flight characteristics of four UFOs which eyewitnesses described as being on fire, exploding with pieces falling away from these strange craft, making strange in-flight noises, flying erratically (many at tree top level), all while making crash-landings (or being forced down!) throughout the east coast.

Ultimately, Feschino pinpointed 116 locations in ten east coast states during 21-hours of sustained active that day and was able to segregate these numerous objects by their shapes, sizes, colors, manner, locations, flight paths and sighting times along a trace of their flight paths!  He concluded that twenty-five different unidentified objects had actually passed over ten eastern States during the "September 12, 1952 Flap," including, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, DC, and... West Virginia. 

One of those four damaged craft landed in Flatwoods, West Virginia. From it emerged a twelve-foot-tall corporeal being of some existentiality, subsequently terrifying a group of unsuspecting local citizens. The repercussions of this event shocked the entire world and is still remembered today, thanks to the likes of persons the caliber of Frank Feschino, Jr., Stanton Friedman, and the many others since the 50s, persons who assisted in discovering the truth about this very compelling close-encounter incident. It was certainly a monster of the time. CE3K stuff, this writer says true.

Closing at last, reader, let us now reflect, again, upon what Robert Farnsworth shared on July 29, 1952.

"I respectfully suggest that no offensive action be taken against the objects reported as unidentified, which have been sighted over our nation. Should they be extraterrestrial—such action might result in the gravest consequences, as well as possibly alienating us from beings of superior powers. Friendly contact should be sought as long as possible." 

Mr. Farnsworth, hats off to you, sir! You were absolutely right in this writer's opinion, and the outcome of the offensive actions made against UFOs was made apparent on September 12, 1952... ...not just at Flatwoods. There's more to Flatwoods than the Green Monster...

In memory, then, of all the fallen airmen ordered to take up brave steel to go out against UFOs and who never returned home...

Our Heroes Betrayed 

The Other Side Of The Flatwoods Monster

The 65th Anniversary of the Flatwoods Monster Incident

by Alfred Lehmberg with Frank C. Feschino, Jr.

PART III of IV

Before: Numbers for who needs 'em, charts of "lurid" death, and questioning one's own courage.

~~

Consider now these TWO points from the aforementioned books of Frank C. Feschino, books making a believable case for a secret air war with ET in 1952. This writer is quite beyond apologizing for how silly that sounds. 

1.Between 1951 and 1956 the New York Times further reported that 131 United States Air Force fighter jets were destroyed over the United States and its Coastal Waters as compared to their 83 Jets lost in the air-to-air combat events during the entire Korean War.

2. Between 1951 and 1956 the New York Times reported that the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps had a total amount of 188 fighter aircraft (Jets and propeller-driven craft) destroyed over the United States and its Coastal Waters. Puzzlingly, the Air Force lost a total amount of 104 Fighters, Jets and propeller-driven craft, in the air-to-air combat events during the totality of the Korean War.

The disconnect is obvious. How can there not be more losses during combat than simple, forget fruitless interdiction missions completed in a comparably "safe and sound" USA... the Soviet enemy is never detected by the GOC nor our forces engaged in air combat... with Russians!

A retired military Master Aviator himself, this writer offers that these peacetime losses doing comparative milk-runs would not be remotely tolerated; a problem in training, command, and control would be identified and any problem would be solved, heads rolling for ball-bearings! Serving in Army aviation for well over two decades, this writer remembers Command's attitude regarding "unexplained losses." Losses blithely allowed to accrue!

No... Resources would be judiciously, even covetously, managed. There was a war on overseas, after all... Unless...

...Unless there was imperative, reader, a justification for such loathsome losses... losses even admitted to! General Benjamin Chidlaw, Head of Air Defense Command, said, "...We have stacks of reports about flying saucers; we take them seriously when you consider we have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them." Bluebook Chief Edward Ruppelt, moreover, is quoted to say, "...There have been other and more lurid duels of death..." What were these men so very solemnly on about with regard to Stateside "training missions" and "milk runs"?

Back to you, Pilot. Subsequent to your disappearance, there would be an investigation of your inexplicable if presumed death. The facts and evidence entered would be a maze of contradictory details and a reportage not providing the remotest sense or sensibility... not justifying the terrible losses in any way. Again... this does not happen!

The upshot of an "official finding," Pilot, is that you were a clueless buffoon unsuited to occupy the seat assigned and unwilling or unable to follow the instructions from ground control. Waning competence led to panic, perhaps, but you ignobly crashed in blackwater Florida swamps or ditched in the Gulf of Mexico swallowed up, and forever, in warm green saltwater...

Pilot error. That would be your legacy, one of incompetence, ineptitude, but a perceived lack of skill and ability. Infidelity? Shame and shamefulness? Futility?

Who were you, Pilot? Who were you?

Were you among the many we now name, Pilot? Were you John A. Jones, Jr., Felix Moncla, Virgil Plunkett, or John Chambers? Smith, Cocker, Samson, or Johnson? Adams, Taylor, Moore or White?

Your names and the names of many other unsung heroes are on the way to Legion, two hundred strong as indicated above... but you were doomed instead to historical banishment, ignominy, and discredit... your record an oprobrium. How is this left to stand?

Maybe, Pilot, you were Captain Hobart Gay, Jr., the Air Force fighter veteran who was killed stateside in August. The New York Times reported that this Korean War hero died in an "unexplained crash of an F-94 all-weather jet fighter... when it plunged into Vineyard Sound," near Falmouth, Massachusetts. Prior to his death, the pilot had been in "105 combat missions in Korea and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal with three Oak Clusters in thirteen months, Far East duty." It was stated by a spokesman at Otis AFB "that Captain Gay was believed to have been trapped in the cockpit of his plane when it crashed." Trapped in the cockpit. What unsupported conjecture, that?

Not only was this highly decorated war hero involved in an "unexplained" crash stateside after returning home from 105 combat missions in Korea, officials believed the pilot was, and conjectured only, in some way trapped in the cockpit of his plane when it crashed! Something does not add up here, reader! What was he doing out there, to start?

Let us not forget the 130-combat-mission-WW II-pilot Colonel Councill who vanished under mysterious circumstances on April 5, 1954. The Air Force said he "disappeared shortly after taking off on instruments in a heavy overcast" in his F-80 jet from Farmingdale, New York and bound for Langley Field, Virginia. 

It was reported that the pilot, "had been in trouble within five minutes after takeoff and might be down within fifty miles of the field." What? If this jet had crashed within five minutes of its takeoff from New York to Virginia, then why was its wreckage not found along its predetermined flight path? 

Why did the Air Force state that Councill's jet, "might be down within fifty miles of the field." Furthermore, why did no one on the ground hear or see a crash and why did the Air Force spokesman neglect to state why the pilot, "had been in trouble"? Sparse wilderness between those points, reader. Shallow bays. How's it not found, now, when from space we're finding articles and sites from thousands of years ago?

Oh, and For the record folks: Councill set the United States jet cross-country speed record of 4-hours 13 minutes back on January 25, 1946. He was an ace's ace.

Names, and the names of many other unsung heroes are on the way to Legion as indicated above but doomed to ignominy and discredit. These are not just wages.

Consider, sadly, that missing Starfire pilot Second Lt. John A. Jones, Jr. was never mentioned to the public by the Air Force, nor even by his family after the initial newspaper reportage of his disappearance on September 12, 1952. Jones and his radar operator vanished over Gulf waters (?) near Tampa, Florida on an alleged, "Routine Weather Training Mission" after departing Tyndall AFB with several other jets during a huge influx of UFOs in the area at that precise time. "Routine Weather Training Mission," ...this writer's aging backside.

As time passed, Jones was forgotten, entirely... wiped from records. He was as forgotten as was the whole set of mysterious circumstances leading to his fate... and that of his radar operator, John DelCurto. They just vanished, and while in contact with control. There one moment... gone the next.

Years later and out of the public eye, people in Jones' own hometown of Sanford, Florida had no idea who he was, had no idea that he was a fighter pilot who had vanished mysteriously in the performance of his military duty and who was never. Seen. Again.

How quickly the missing pilot was forgotten and relegated to the suspiciously unspoken. Shameful. Wrong. A moral tragedy.

Enter Feschino. When Feschino discovered this incident, occurring on the same day and very shortly before the "Flatwoods Monster" incident in Flatwoods, WV ... during, remember, the biggest UFO flap in American history, he researched it thoroughly to make some pretty astonishing discoveries.

He found, for example, that the Air Force reported that they had no official records of the pilot, himself, nor did they have a record of the incident providing for his disappearance on September 12, 1952! Additionally, further research disclosed that Jones was not even listed in the Florida Office of Vital Statistics. There was no death certificate for him! Yes reader, John Jones, Jr. not only vanished in his jet, he also vanished from the official record as well! What?!

His slate was wiped clean; the Air Force Historical Research Agency stated, "Thank you for your letter requesting information about the lost pilots. Regrettably, our holdings do not contain the historical data you've requested. Sincerely, David R. Mills, Captain, USAF, Chief Inquiries Branch."

A second effort to locate information was made to no avail. Official response? "Thank you for your letter. we checked the history of Tyndall AFB, FL for the time period mentioned in your letter, but did not locate any information on the incident you mentioned... Sincerely, Archie DeFate, Archives Branch."

Next, the Florida Office of Vital Statistics was contacted about information concerning information about John Anderson Jones, Jr. of Sanford, Florida. They replied, "Florida vital records have been carefully searched but no record has been found that exactly matches the information on your application." How. Can. This. Be?

It was not to be. Always in due diligence, if years later (persons named Jones are, ironically, not so easy to find), Feschino tracked down Jones' older brother. In inquiry, astonishingly, Feschino was provided with copies of the original documents sent to the Jones family by the Air Defense Command and Tyndall AFB; there were four (?!) Western Union Telegrams from top brass ADC Commander, General Chidlaw (?!) and one letter from Tyndall Base Commander, Colonel Kleine. Here was hard official evidence of the dismissed existence of Lieutenant Jones. Subsequently, Feschino even tracked down the memorial headstone marking the empty grave of the pilot at the family plot located in Ocala, Florida. He photographed it and provided documentation for it, at last.

A rubbing from the stone...

Suspiciously... after all of this information about Jones was published in Feschino's publisher-flawed original 2004 book, "The Braxton County Monster," the official case file was then released by the Air Force, "Aircraft Accidents of 1952." Stanton Friedman obtained the September 1952 microfilm reel and gave it to Feschino, who then reviewed the September 12 cases. These were classified as "RESTRICTED." These are peculiar for losses during a "training mission."

Yes reader (cutting to the chase), the Jones and DelCurto case was listed! It appeared as case number "52-9-14-4," the fourth major accident to have been documented that day of eleven cases... 10 other cases reader, and oddly enough, the accident case immediately before and the one immediately after the Jones incident... were missing! These were sent to higher classification. The reader has heard of "kicked upstairs." It's never a good thing.

Why, this writer asks, reader? This writer, moreover, smells fish and hasn't seen Denmark since the late 1980's flying in and out of an M-1 tank gunnery range for the 2d Armored Division (Forward). "Fishy" understates.

Feschino read, reviewed and dissected the official 65-page accident report and discovered it was heavily edited, not complete, and could best be described as a convoluted muddle of gross inconsistencies. He then cross-referenced the accident report with the information released by the Air Force in the original newspaper articles and the information contained in the documents sent to the Jones family from the ADC and Tyndall AFB, Panama City, Florida. Insanity follows.

Our Heroes Betrayed - Part II of IV

Our Heroes Betrayed 

The Other Side Of The Flatwoods Monster

The 65th Anniversary of the Flatwoods Monster Incident

by Alfred Lehmberg with Frank C. Feschino, Jr.

PART II of IV

Before: Cold war, Hot war, Weird war; you are there and involved; Air Warriors, ground observers; major flaps, near Whitehouse lawn-landings, and orders to "Shoot them down"!

~~

Concept in 1952

When Robert Farnsworth, the President of the United States Rocket Society caught wind of the UFO "Shoot Them Down" orders by the Air Force, he was appalled!  He quickly responded in an official capacity. On July 29, 1952, Farnsworth sent a telegram letter to President Truman, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, and Navy Secretary. He then made his letter public in various newspapers on the subsequent day.

Mr. Farnsworth stated, "I respectfully suggest that no offensive action be taken against the objects reported as unidentified, which have been sighted over our nation. Should they be extraterrestrial—such action might result in the gravest consequences, as well as possibly alienating us from beings of superior powers. Friendly contact should be sought as long as possible." It is obvious that Robert Farnsworth was completely in the dark concerning the flying saucer shoot down orders, but was right when he stated, "Should they be extraterrestrial—such action might result in the gravest consequences." What are the reader's thoughts?

Ironically, these grave consequences had already been going on as pointed out by subject matter expert and author Frank Feschino, Jr., when he made a good case for a secret air war with ET between 1951 and 1956. Feschino used the New York Times newspaper to obtain this data as the basis of his research. Coal to Newcastle, but required for the audacity of the contention made, he now makes known a re-analyzed update to same:

1. Between 1951 and 1953, The New York Times reported that 62 United States Air Force fighter jets were destroyed over the Continental United States and its Coastal Waters in those three years. This is compared to 83 Jets lost in the air-to-air combat events during that same time period in the, very entire Korean War.

2. Spanning 1951 and 1956; however, the New York Times reported 205 accidents involving fighter aircraft. These regarded destroyed or missing fighters; the total loss of American fighters worldwide, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, was 231 aircraft. 188 losses occurred over the United States and its Coastal Waters and 43 occurred in other countries throughout the world. That seems a little peculiar... 

Further analysis shows that of the 188 fighter aircraft jets and propeller-driven craft destroyed over the United States and its Coastal Waters, only seven were trainers! Excluding these seven trainers, we know that there were 181 non-trainer fighters destroyed over the United States according to this newspaper's reportage! A reader's red flag should begin to unfurl.

3. While those reported 205 accidents or incidents, accidents or incidents resulting in 231 fighters destroyed worldwide, the Air Force had 175 fighters destroyed, including seven trainers, the Navy 46 fighters destroyed, and the Marines 10 fighters destroyed; Total=231.

4. Through those reported 205 accident incidents, 200, yes two-hundred, fighter pilots and radar operators were killed, including our missing airmen! Twenty of those pilots killed are known to be skilled fighter combat veterans of Korea and or World War II, so no fools, they! All twenty of those combat veterans died over the United States between 1951 and 1956, including two pilots who vanished in 1954. Flag down, reader!

5. During those reported 205 accident incidents, twenty-six fighter aircraft just VANISHED! Nineteen superbly maintained fighters and crew simply dematerialized over the United States remaining unfound! Let that sink in. Sixteen fighter jets just gone, only three of which were trainers. The seven remaining jets had all disappeared over other countries.

6. Thirteen of those 205 accident incident cases involved multiple fighter accidents. Whole flights of aircraft just steering into the ground, some flights running out of fuel at precisely the same time? This writer is a combat aviator. That doesn't happen. Does a caravan of trucks all run out of diesel at the same time? It works the same with jet fuel.

These cases involved between two to four jet fighters going down in each incident. Seven cases involved two downed jets. Four cases involved four downed jets. Two cases involved three downed jets. What the bleep was going on?

We may never know the actual amount of aircraft involved in UFO intercepts ending in loss of airmen and aircraft but it was repeatedly "explained" that many of these accidents occurred during routine training flights and missions! Additionally, and again, a frequent explanation for the cause of many of these accidents was to be that the aircraft, "ran out of gas," subsequently crashing.

OK folks, now take a closer look at the statistics Feschino extracted from the 205 accidents involving destroyed fighter aircraft. He discovers there were sixty-five cases involving fighter pilots that did NOT bail out of their disabled jets! These crashed into the ground or water, ending in fatality. Only three of those sixty-five cases gave a specific reason why the pilot did not bail out of his failing aircraft to subsequently die in the crash. Those particular and very singular reports stated that each of those three pilots were "over populated areas" and chose to "stay with their aircraft to steer around neighborhoods and other inhabited areas" before crashing, ala The Great Santini. Ok.

What about the other sixty-two pilots who failed to bail out of their fighters and died! Why, reader, did they go down with their failing or disabled craft and neglect to bail out when they could?

Did these planes fall out of the sky as a result of encounters with UFOs? Feschino once told this writer that Stanton Friedman brought up the following point. Those airmen may have failed to bail because their jet's electrical systems could have been disabled during a UFO encounter or intercept. We have other reports of this happening.

Furthermore, another disturbing point to raise here is just how many pilots were on UFO intercepts and rendered unconscious, or killed, during an encounter; were these pilots already incapacitated before they crashed? Could this explain their failure to jettison themselves to safety? This is curious at best!     

Now reader, let's take a look at the documented Project Blue Book "UNKNOWN" cases, which involved documented interactions and/or interdiction attempts involving United States aircraft, both jet or prop, and UFOs between 1951 and 1956:

1951	1 case: 1 fighter jet.
1952	13 cases: 9 fighters jets. 1 F-51. 1 unknown model fighter. 1 RF-80 Reconnaissance. 1 T-33 Trainer
1953	4 cases: 4 fighter jets.
1954	3 cases: 2 fighter jets. 1 unknown model fighter.
1955	0 cases
1956	4 cases: 2 fighter jets. 2 T-33 Trainers.

1952 seems a banner year! Following, here is a tally of the UFO reports received by Project Blue Book between 1951 and 1956:

1951	169  (Project Grudge)
1952	1,501
1953	509
1954	487
1955	545
1956	670
Total	3,881 UFO reports

Were UFOs real? Given seven categories of evidence and decades of recorded media reportage now, how can there be any doubt? Consider, reader, in December of 1952, Donald Keyhoe wrote an article appearing in TRUE magazine and revealed the number of jet interceptions against UFOs up to that point in late 1952.  He stated, "More than 300 times [that Keyhoe knew about!], Air Force interceptor planes have chased mysterious and unidentified flying objects revealed by radar scopes." Keyhoe added, "Week after week, jet fighters are 'scrambled' at points around the country for 'saucer' chases." Birds, balloons, temperature inversions, and swamp gas sure seem to command costly reactions, eh?

Back again to you, our intrepid fighter pilot! Your alert is chillingly called! ...Pucker's engaged and the passing of even a seed pearl will not be possible!

Courage...

You and your second seat drop discarded playing cards and, high toned with adrenaline, hustle out onto the tarmac for your aircraft! You move with purpose even knowing that you don't know what you go out to face, verily, the yawning void of a nameless, faceless, bottomless... and abject unknown. See, you've been well briefed to "expect the unexpected." Waiting wings of angry Soviet fighters would be preferred. You mount up.

Suffice to say, unspecified fears and their dreaded consequences are eclipsed and shunted aside in preparation for an imminent launch. Your jet spins up in an elevating whine juiced by an externally plugged in Power Unit complements of the ground crew. The aircraft comes alive around you in a maze of meaningful lights and lighted dials, thrumming hums, sharp staccatos, and roaring billows!

Preflight checks are completed with your companion radar operator's, all business, clear call and positive response. "Here" and "now" have never been more apparent. "In the moment" takes on new meaning. Your moment has arrived.

24 hour Alert Standby!

The darkness of night approaches deftly in a now dwindling dusk as you get clearance to taxi to the active runway. Wheel chocks are removed, you get the wave off from ground, and you throttle up... begin your roll into a darkness redefining the word, "foreboding."

The weather forecast is not favorable, but that won't matter, overmuch, to men and equipment outfitted and trained for day/night and all-weather air combat operations! Lined up for take-off at last, you wait for clearance from the tower, skin prickling and pouring sweat. Still, fear is squelched decidedly down and your education takes over, your unflagging professionalism, proving the relevance of your successfully endured and very arduous Special High Intensity (flight) Training. "Pucker" is mastered.

Into the teeth of the unknown!

Clearance is issued and throttles are shoved forward for your take-off thrust. The roll becomes a leap, and you're crushed, oppressively, back into the seat. Your F-94 Starfire shrieks like a Game Of Thrones' ice-dragon to accelerate down the blurring runway, gaining speed for a deft pitch rotation raising the nose. Rotation speed is reached, powering you into unfriendly skies...

Airborne with gear up at last, you swoop off into that first vector from air control to a nameless and foreboding threat looming before you like your fated doom's gaping maw... This, reader, is raw Courage!

Pilot? You had vast sack and indomitable stone to do what you did. This writer dodged "green basketball" tracer-rounds while flying down the barrels of 51 caliber machine guns in Viet Nam last century, and wonders that he would have the "stuff" to, similarly, perform. See, it's one thing encountering a UFO in flight, unannounced, as did Captain Larry Coyne, bravely, years later in Ohio. It's a whole different thing flying out, deliberately, to meet same. ...But fly you did, straight into the teeth of the wholly unknown, highly exotic, and threatening... ultimate... weird.

Remains, Pilot... you, your radar operator, and craft... after some furtive and inconsistent (as it's reported) communication, would never be seen again. Tragically, as pointed out above, you would not be alone.

Next: Gross peculiarities, ridiculous official disconnections, and high placed admissions.  The nameless unnamed AND betrayed warriors, plus a well justified appeal.
