    (as he came from a
      military family, he just joined the same, and soon got insight into the
      biggest secret they hide - THE TRUTH BEHIND THE UFOs.)
        
      "In those days we were the elite of the Air Force and we knew it. 
      I received a Letter of Commendation for my work. In due time I was 
      awarded the National Defense Medal and the Air Force Good Conduct 
      Medal. (Actually, I think everyone was awarded the National Defense 
      Medal so that no one would be embarrassed standing in formation with 
      nothing on their chest.) 
       
      It was during this time that I met a couple of sergeants who kind of 
      adopted me. We went out to the clubs together and usually ended up 
      chasing women and drinking a lot of beer.  They told me several stories 
      about being attached to a special unit that recovered crashed flying
      saucers. 
      Sgt. Meese told me that he had been on one operation that transported a 
      saucer so large that a special team went before them, lowering all telephone 
      poles and fence posts. Another team followed and replaced them. They 
      moved it only at night. It was kept parked and covered somewhere off the 
      road during the day. Since we were always half-tanked when these stories 
      came out, I never believed them — sergeants were known to tell some tall 
      tales to younger guys like me.

      I began the unending task of 
      sweeping the horizon from bow to stern, then the sky from horizon to 
      zenith, and then back to the horizon from bow to stern. Again and again, 
      and then a pause to rest our eyes and chat for a few minutes. I asked 
      Ensign Ball to call for some hot coffee. As he bent over the 1MC, I turned, 
      raising my binoculars to my eyes just in time to see a huge disk rise from 
      beneath the ocean, water streaming from the air around it, tumble lazily on 
      its axis, and disappear into the clouds. My heart beat wildly. I tried to talk 
      but couldn't; then I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to say 
      that, anyway. I had seen a flying saucer the size of an aircraft carrier come 
      right out of the ocean and fly into the clouds. I looked around quickly to 
      see if anyone else had seen it. Ensign Ball was still bending over the IMC. 
      He was ordering coffee. Geronimo was looking down the starboard side 
      aft. 
       
      I was torn between my duty to report what I had seen and the knowledge 
      that if I did no one would believe me. As I looked out over the ocean 
      I saw only sky, clouds, and water. 
      It was as if nothing had happened. I almost thought I had dreamed it. 
      Ensign Ball straightened, turned toward Geronimo and said the coffee was 
      on the way up. 
        
       
      I looked back toward the spot, about 15 degrees relative off the port 
      bow, and about 2-1/2 nautical miles distant. Nothing, not even a hint of 
      what had happened. "Ensign Ball," I said, "I thought I saw something 
      about 15 degrees relative off the bow, but I lost it. Can you help me look 
      over that area?" Ensign Ball turned, raising his glasses to eye level. I didn't 
      know it at the time, but Geronimo had heard me and turned to look. He 
      was happy that something had broken the monotony. 
       
      I was just lifting the binoculars off my chest when I saw it. The giant 
      saucer shape plunged out of the clouds, tumbled, and, pushing the water 
      before it, opened up a hole in the ocean and disappeared from view. It was 
      incredible. This time I had seen it with my naked eyes, and its size in 
      comparison with the total view was nothing short of astounding. Ensign 
      Hall stood in shock, his binoculars in his hands, his mouth open. Geronimo 
      yelled, "Holy shit! What the — hey! did you guys see that?" Ensign Ball 
      turned, and looking right at me with the most incredulous look on his face, 
      said in a low voice, "This had to happen on my watch!" He turned, quickly 
      pressing the override on the IMC and yelled, "Captain to the bridge, 
      Captain to the bridge." As an afterthought he pressed the switch again and 
      yelled, "Somebody get a camera up here." 
      The Captain surged up the ladder with the quartermaster on his heels. 
      Chief Quartermaster Quintero had the ship's 35-mm camera slung around 
      his neck. The Captain stood patiently while Ensign Ball tried to describe 
      what he had seen. He glanced at us and we both nodded in affirmation. 
      That was enough for the Captain. He called sonar, who during the excitement 
      had reported contact underwater at the same bearing. The Captain 
      announced into the 1MC, "This is the Captain. I have the conn." The reply 
      came back instantly from the helm, "Aye, Aye sir." I knew that the helmsman 
      was passing the word in the control room that the Captain had 
      personally taken control of the boat. I also knew that rumors were probably 
      flying through the vessel. 
       
      The Captain called down and ordered someone to closely monitor the 
      radar. His command was instantly acknowledged. As the five of us stood 
      gazing out over the sea the same ship or one exactly like it rose slowly, 
      turned in the air, tilted at an angle and then vanished. I saw the Chief 
      snapping pictures out of the corner of my eye. 
       
      This time I had three images from which to draw conclusions. It was 
      a metal machine, of that there was no doubt whatsoever. It was intelligently 
      controlled, of that I was equally sure. It was a dull color, kind of like 
      pewter. There were no lights. There was no glow. I thought I had seen a 
      row of what looked like portholes, but could not be certain. Radar reported 
      contact at the same bearing and gave us a range of 3 nautical miles. The 
      range was right on, as the craft had moved toward the general direction 
      that we were headed. We watched repeatedly as the strange craft reentered 
      the water and then subsequently rose into the clouds over and over again 
      until finally we knew that it was gone for good. The episode lasted about 
      10 minutes.

      "Before leaving the bridge the Captain took the camera from the Chief 
      and instructed each of us not to talk to anyone about what we had seen. He 
      told us the incident was classified and we were not to discuss it, not even 
      amongst ourselves. We acknowledged his order. The Captain and the 
      Chief left the bridge. Ensign Ball stepped to the 1MC and, pressing the 
      override switch, announced, "This is Ensign Ball. The Captain has left the 
      bridge. I have the conn." The reply, "Aye aye sir," quickly followed. 
      Those of us who had witnessed the UFO were not allowed to go 
      ashore after we had berthed in Pearl. Even those of us who didn't have the 
      duty were told we had to stay aboard. After about two hours a commander 
      from the Office of Naval Intelligence boarded. He went directly to the 
      Captain's stateroom. It wasn't long before we were called to wait in the 
      passageway outside the Captain's door. Ensign Ball was called first. After 
      about 10 minutes he came out and went into the wardroom. He looked 
      shaken. I was next.

      later: 
      "I attempted to leak information to a reporter after my discharge. I was 
      forced off a cliff by a black limo in the hills of Oakland. Two men got out 
      climbed down to where I lay covered in blood. One bent down and felt 
      my carotid pulse. The other asked if I was dead. The nearest man said, 
      No, but he will be." The other replied, "Good, then we don't have to do 
      anything else." They climbed up and drove off. I succeeded in climbing 
      the bank where I waited until found. A month later I was forced into 
      another accident by the same limo. This time I was to lose my leg. Two 
      men visited me in the hospital. They only wanted to know if I would shut 
      or if the next time should be final. I told them that I would be a very 
      good little boy and that they needn't worry about me anymore...."

      "From that point on, my Annie and I were followed and harassed. 
      Death threats began showing up on our answering machine. The phone 
      would ring several times during the night, but no one would reply when 
      we answered. Sometimes a man would deliver another death threat. 
      Government cars would park in front and well-dressed men watched the 
      house. The strangest people began to show up at our door, sometimes in 
      the middle of the night. I purchased a .380 automatic for Annie and a 9-mm 
      for me. I taught Annie how to shoot, and she will not hesitate to kill anyone 
      who attempts to harm me, her, or our little daughter. 
      Annie and Pooh (Dorothy's nickname) are the lights in my life...."
