At the very core of the extraterrestrial mystery and what the government knows and refused to make public is the legendary Hangar 18. This is supposedly a former repository for not only crashed UFO’s recovered secretly by US federal agencies, but for 14 to 16 alien bodies. Located at the huge Wright Patterson Air Base complex, the center for historic advanced fighter, bomber, and rocket design for decades, Hangar 18 was supposedly set into a row of other such installations barely discernible from the others. A movie was even made about the controversial site starring Darren Mc Gavin in the early 1980’s.

Robert Emmenegger reveals part of the puzzle

There seem to be several corroborating factors that lend credence to the facility. When I met with Robert Emmenegger, a film producer whose TV documentary on UFO’s hosted by Rod Serling, attracted the largest viewing audience of any made for TV film in history for a prime time rating. In 1995 at a KLIF AM talk show we discussed UFO’s with a live audience. Between commercial breaks, Robert told me of the types of experiments he witnessed ongoing at Wright Patterson. He saw electronic psychological warfare using the heat from the after burners of fighter jets to produce the energy needed to project images on the battlefield. In his movie “It Has Begun” Emmenegger was told by a Colonel Coleman that he would release some actual footage of a UFO landing at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, but the footage was pulled at the last minute before the scheduled showing and an animation had to be substituted.

Too many incidents to deny

With the alleged crash and retrieval operations that occurred at Roswell, New Mexico, Kecksburg Pennsylvania, Kingman Arizona, Edinburgh, Texas, and Del Rio Texas near the Mexican border debris and alien fatalities being secretly moved to Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson AFB according to sources, there was little doubt in the minds of many investigators Another corroborating factor is that after the Robertson Panel convened and decided to transform Project Blue Book into a PR front operation and that all of the serious UFO sightings and incidents would be moved up the ladder to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The intense work of Captain Edward Ruppelt and Major Dewey Fournet on making Project Blue Book into a notable investigative group would be disbanded and filed away.  

Another bizarre incident in Rush Limbaugh’s home town

One crash and reported UFO alien fatality resulting in the onsite last rites being given by a Pastor who was called into Cape Girardeau, Missouri  extraterrestrial wreckage site in 1941 has not been documented and included with the above mentioned crash sites from 1947 on, perhaps the federal government had not yet perfected a special recovery operation guideline yet. There is even a story of secretary of State Cordell Hull in 1939 having lunch with a childhood friend who was a Christian minister. After having lunch Cordell took his buddy down into an underground exhibit hall below the White House and there the two men saw alien bodies preserved in large glass containers in a fluid preservative, probably formaldehyde. This minister carried the secret to his grave not revealing his forbidden knowledge to his family until on his dying bed.

Intended Confusion?

Hangar 18 turned out to be an inaccurate address. There was a Building 18 at Wright Patterson, but no hangar. When the Hangar was finally identified and the US Air Force allowed the press corps access the facility was empty, but evidence of a refrigeration unit that had been removed was there. The bodies were allegedly kept at 120 degrees below zero in a cryogenic state. Below Wright Patterson Air Base is a series of underground tunnels and interconnecting refrigeration ducts. These have been documented but no longer connected to the said secret repository. This is the way military compartmentalization and counter intelligence works.

Cover-ups

These retrieval operations have encountered witnesses and have sworn them to secrecy, threatening them with their lives, or in at least one case, a reported death of a local radio station talk show host who was investigating the sighting resulted. This happened at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania as the US Army conducted a controversial recovery witnessed by many who saw lights in the sky and a fire burning in the forest where the object came down. The old saying that, “Where there’s smoke there’s fire,” seems to apply, but the federal government has had a lot of experience covering up the forbidden knowledge.
