allegedly tested nine alien space
craft, said the technology involved
in the propulsion of the craft was
beyond human comprehension.
Lazar went on to say that his
superiors at the test site systemati
cally threatened all of the scientists
to ensure the secrecy of the opera
tion. In the vidio, Lazar claimed
that a covert faction of the U.S.
military is overseeing the testing.
Lazar readily admits that his story
appears outlandish, hut his claims
have convinced many. Curious
Nevada residents gather nightly near
“Area 51,” with hopes of sighting a
UFO.
The video, which Williams cur
rently is reproducing for members
of his UFO research group, also
contains interviews with nuclear
physicist Stanton Friedman, who
has researched UFOs for 40 years.
Williams said he met Friedman
at the University of California at
Santa Barbara, Calif., where Wil
liams was studying math and phys
ics. According to Williams, the
su pport of respected scientists such
as Friedman gives “UFO-ology”
more credibility.
“Of course, on the down-side of
that, every UFO hoax undermines
all the legitimate sightings,” he said.
“Hoaxes do a great deal of harm.”
Williams and Lazar are not alone
in their belief that the U.S. govern
ment is conducting business with
extraterrestrials. In 1988, John Lear,
a former airline pilot whose father
designed the Lear jet, authored the
“Crill Report,” a document that al
leges a government cover-up of
contact with alien life forms.
Lear has flown missions for
government agencies, including the
CIA, and ran for Nevada’s senato
rial seat.
Both Knapp’s investigative fea
ture and Lear’s "Crill Report” con
tain information about a group
known as “MJ-12” — an alleged
think tank of military scientists
established by former President
Harry Truman to analyze a recov
ered flying disc that many say
crashed in 1947 near Roswell, N.M.
The term “MJ-12," or “Majestic-12,”
is present in all of the documents
related to UFOs, but the CIA and
the U.S. Air Force deny that it refers
to any investigative task force.
Although UFO sightings contin
ued through the next two decades,
Lear said it wasn’t until the late ’60s
that “MJ-12” made a deal with the
extraterrestrials, wherein it was
agreed that in return for advanced
military equipment, the aliens would
be permitted to abduct humans for
biological experimentation.
Williams said Americans slowly
are being conditioned to acceptthe
existence of extraterrestrials through
movies and television.
‘They (aliens) are being estab
lished as a reality in the minds of
the public,” he said. “Through
movies like ‘Cocoon’ and ‘E.T.,’
and TV shows like ‘Alf and ‘Alien
Nation,’ some of the shock will be
lessened when the truth is finally
revealed.”
John Lear talks about the “two
great truths” in his “Crill Report.”
'The first truth, that the sun
does not revolve around the earth,
got a man named Giordano Bruno
urned at the stake in 1600 for
daring to propose that it was real,”
he said.
“Now, 400 years later, we must
again face the
shocking facts.”

WAUAGGHH!’ and I fell five
feet down onto the ledge of a
precipice. The next step was a fall
for sure. I should have paid atten
tion to the walking, not meander
about in some fugue-fantasy. Brit

Tal k-to-tell as long as I might, fill
the sky with alpine adjectives and
volcanic verbs, weave smooth-run
ning sentences through solid walls
of paper granite, and still I paint no
forest. See it, lads and lassies. Find
out about the planet. The Farth is
mother, and we need to nurse, not
knock, the nipple-supple suckling
of our lives.
I found the road on the dawn of
the 12th day. Me Red-Wings, ‘ner a
tarnish before I took to the Stikine,
hung around my feet like the skin
of a thousand moths tied with worn
strands of hemp I stood the side of
the road with me haunches bipedal
and my back like a staff, for you’ll
find no one wanting to give a ride
to a lad looking hunched and
haggard. Haggard, was I. Aye, but
- --—<--I
not hunched. No doubt I would
find the stylin’ ride southward.
Now, the notion to me is that
many of you lads and lassies alike,
demur from 10-day survival treks
forging some of the harshest terri
tory on the planet. A traveling fa
natic, I am, and relish it in all forms;
but your adventures need not pro
mote such relaxation. But if I could
cradle all the traveling want-nots in
my arms and feed them simple
thoughts to ease weary and wan
ton wilderness minds. I would say,
with wry irony, ‘Always strap your
feet in stalwart shoes, and always,
always keep a keen bloodshot
grape eye peeled for the I |1
lad who lost our fur.” I
