- UNDERGROUND BASES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
-
- There has been a great deal of new information about UFO activity in
- Southern California, specifically in the vicinity of Lancaster, Palmdale and
- Edwards AFB. It appears that three research facilities operated by Northrop,
- McDonnell-Douglas and Lockheed are involved with developing new types of
- aircraft which possibly utilize anti-gravity propulsion. There are also
- reports by people who say they work at (or used to work at) these facilities.
- They describe huge, elaborate, underground complexes that are linked
- together by tunnels. Not only that, but some local residents have told UFO
- researchers that they have been abducted and taken to an underground
- facility where they report seeing humans in military uniforms and small
- grey-skinned "alien" beings. An outline of my preliminary on-site
- investigation follows:
-
- The Northrop facility goes by the name of "The Tejon Ranch" (pronounced
- tay-on). It is sometimes referred to by UFO researchers as the "Tehachapi
- Ranch." It is located in the foothills of the Tehachapi mountains, at the
- mouth of Little Oak Canyon, about 25 miles northwest of Lancaster,
- California. It is not under restricted airspace. Although the public is
- told that this is a cattle ranch, no livestock are visible anywhere on the
- property. UFO researcher, Bill Hamilton says that if asked, Northrop
- Corporation will say that this is an "electromagnetic research facility".
-
- UFO Researcher, Norio Hayakawa, reports that the signs at the main entrance
- gate read: "PRIVATE PROPERTY-NO TRESPASSING." Other signs read: "DANGER!
- POISON DEVICES IN THE AREA! THESE DEVICES ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CONTAIN
- DEADLY CYANIDE. STAY AWAY AND KEEP YOUR DOGS AWAY. THESE DEVICES ARE THE
- PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND ARE USED FOR PROTECTION OF
- LIVESTOCK AND GAME ANIMALS. TAMPERING WITH THESE DEVICES OR THIS SIGN IS A
- FEDERAL OFFENSE. THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE." It is the
- opinion of some researchers that there is no cyanide and these signs merely
- serve as a deterrent. This facility does not appear to have anything to do
- with livestock. Another sign attached to the cattle gate reads: "NORTHROP
- CORPORATION-PICO RIVERA."
-
- Norio Hayakawa also reports that a white van with government plates is seen
- entering the cattle gate daily at 7am, 3pm, and 11pm. It is driven by a
- uniformed guard with a Northrop arm patch, and usually contains additional
- military personnel in uniform.
-
- In the aerial photos, the long, wide surfaces are not runways. There are
- white-painted diamond-shaped openings on these surfaces. A white pylon is
- visible in the center of one diamond shape. A pylon "rack" and antenna
- array are located near the main buildings.
-
- One obvious purpose of this and the other facilities operated by McDonnell-
- Douglas and Lockheed is for "Stealth" aircraft research. Various objects or
- aircraft shapes can be placed on the pylons and radar or other types of
- energy can be projected at the aircraft shapes so that the reflected energy
- can be measured or other types of experiments can be made. There may be
- other purposes for this arrangement.
-
- The Northrop facility is rumored to have at least 42 underground levels and
- is said to connect to other underground facilities by an extensive network
- of subterranean tunnels.
-
- Many strange aircraft have been seen flying over and around the area,
- including glowing disks, triangle shapes, large boomerang shapes, elongated
- shapes with lighted windows, and small glowing spheres.
-
- There is one report from a woman who lives about 10 miles east of the
- Northrop facility. She says that she saw a very large glowing disk hovering
- over the buildings at the northwest end. The disk was described as being as
- wide as the group of buildings, which would make it several hundred feet in
- diameter!
-
- Small disks have been reported to be seen coming and going, from the area
- near the base, perhaps using the white diamond shapes on the "runways" for
- entry and exit.
-
- Black helicopters are commonly seen flying around. While Bill Hamilton and I
- were near the cattle gate entrance, we saw a dark colored UH-1 "Huey"
- helicopter approach the area from the direction of Edwards AFB. We lost
- sight of it as it flew into a canyon just north of the area. We did not see
- it land at the base. There is rumored to be a disguised entrance in the
- Tehachapi mountains that may be used by helicopters and perhaps other types
- of craft.
-
-
- The McDonnell Douglas facility is sometimes referred to as the "Llano"
- facility. It is located at the site of the old Gray Butte Airport, about
- six miles southwest of El Mirage dry lake and about nine miles northeast of
- Llano, California. It is not located under restricted airspace.
-
- The original triangular runway configuration is still visible but the
- runways are no longer used for conventional aircraft takeoffs and landings.
- Large letters on one runway read "NO TRESPASSING UNSAFE FOR LANDING." Signs
- attached to the perimeter fence read: "TRESPASSING-LOITERING FORBIDDEN BY
- LAW. RIGHT TO PASS BY PERMISSION AND SUBJECT TO CONTROL OF OWNER."
-
- The main buildings and antennas are at the west end. A large building with
- internal crane slides on two tracks and can be positioned over a fixed pylon
- in order to place an object on top of the pylon.
-
- Unusual glowing objects are seen mounted on this pylon at night. I myself
- have seen a glowing object on this pylon that varied in intensity from a dim
- white to brilliant red/orange.
-
- Small glowing spheres have been reported to approach curious onlookers at
- night. It is thought that these glowing objects might be some type of
- monitoring device. The maneuvering abilities of these spheres defy
- explanation.
-
- The Lockheed facility is called the RCS (Radar Cross Section) test range.
- It is sometimes referred to as the "Hellendale" facility. This is a
- genuine underground base. It also may function as a C.o.G. (continuity of
- government) facility. It is located next to the site of the old Hellendale
- auxiliary airport, six miles north of Hellendale, California and two miles
- south of the southern edge of the Edwards AFB restricted airspace. It is
- shown as a circle with an X on the Los Angeles aviation sectional chart. The
- triangular runway configuration is visible to the west. The main buildings
- and main antenna array are at the south end. The main underground entrance
- is visible to the north. Two lighter colored gray diamond shapes are
- visible on the prepared surface. Most straight surfaces are angled away from
- the antennas.
-
- There appear to be numerous openings to the underground visible in the
- photos. There is a sliding door arrangement at the north end, just above
- where the road leads underground. Just a few yards to the north is a dark
- colored square that appears to open like the petals of a flower.
-
- Signs at the perimeter fence read: "TRESPASSING-LOITERING FORBIDDEN BY LAW.
- TRESPASSERS ARE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION. PRIVATE PROPERTY-NO TRESPASS.
- LOCKHEED CORP."
-
- When I flew over the area, an elliptically-shaped object was mounted on top
- of the northern pylon and was slowly rotating. I estimate the height of the
- pylon to be at least 100 feet. The elliptical object is at about 30 feet
- long. The object is similar in shape to half an almond, flat on the bottom,
- pointed at both ends, with a curved flange running along each side. What it
- is I can't be sure, but it is my guess that it is a full-sized "something"
- rather than a component of something else.
-
- On a different day, Bill Hamilton and I observed the Lockheed Hellendale
- facility from the road just west of the perimeter fence. As we watched, two
- large doors opened up and a pylon with elliptical object attached rose up out
- of the ground. The large doors are still open in the photos and video.
- This object could be the same as the one seen from the air, but since it was only
- seen from one side, it is not known for certain if it was actually disk-
- shaped, but it is possible. In August, I was in the Los Angeles area and
- met with Gary Schultz and Norio Hayakawa. They reported that on a recent
- visit to the same area, they saw a definite disk-shaped object on the pylon.
-
- So what does all this mean? It means that for the first time, we have
- verifiable evidence of high-technology aircraft being designed or built by
- U.S. aerospace corporations at secret underground installations. These
- aircraft do not depend on aerodynamic lift from wings, propellers, jet
- thrust, etc.
-
- Does this mean that all UFOs/flying saucers are really American
- high-tech aircraft that have been kept secret all these years? Are aliens
- from other planets just a convenient cover story? Not on your life!
- Unexplained craft have been seen for thousands of years. Are these craft
- made by "us," "them," or some combination? Who knows? Perhaps it is true
- that we have discovered how to build aircraft similar to "alien" flying
- saucers, but did we have help from someone else? What, if anything did we
- trade for this help? Who oversees these "Deep Black" programs? How much
- do they cost? And most importantly, what is the purpose? We do not yet
- have the answers.
-
- At any rate, the test programs are becoming bolder and more intense.
