SUBJECT: The Majestic Twelve FILE: UFO1058 PART 15 3. The reason I know it flew silently is I was present on a number of occasions when it was landing or taking off (I was always taken inside and out of view of the runway at these times) and at no time did I hear anything that sounded like a conventional or any other kind of engine. 4. I was working on their ______ several times when they just_______. However since I was there to work on them I really didn't think anything about it. Oh yes, they would ___________ again just as suddenly. Also there were a number of times that I was called out to work on ______ and could not find anything wrong with it. 5. On of the men that I knew were "Pilots" was just slightly larger than me. 6. Most of the test flights occurred in the daytime rather than at night. 7. The radio frequency they used at that time was in the regular commercial VHF band and was a simplex frequency. At one time I had the Freq. written down but I have no idea now what it was. Anyway, i really think that someone with a scanner could pick them up if they were to park on the road to the east of the test site and use some kind of directional antenna. 8. Before I send this letter I will try to get a USC&GS map of the area and will mark the location of Area 51 on it. 9. There was a Radar Station at the north end of the test site near the town of Tonopah, Nevada. A fellow from my home town of _______,________ was an operator there. His name is __________ __________ . We were talking about the test site one day when he mentioned that he was always picking up UFO's over the test site but was told to ignore them. I remember him telling about one that he picked up on the edge of his RBI on the first revolution was directly overhead on the second pass and was just going off the scope on the third revolution of the antenna. 10. For some reason I seem to remember that the Redlight is spelled Redlight i.e. all one word. 11. I always had the impression that the flight test area was from Area 51 north because there is a natural valley that runs in that direction for 200 miles or so. Also the area to the south was more populated. Also I entered Area 51 from the north and there were a couple of times that i was questioned about whether I had 'noticed' anything on the way in. 12. I was reminded constantly that no matter what I saw I could be in serious trouble if I ever talked about any of it. I can't stress how much how tight the security was, it was almost paranoid. 13. I don't think this has anything to do with Redlight, but I remember when I was a kid back in the 40's, on two occasions I saw a story about UFO's included in the weekly Pathe' News. There was one story about a UFO that had crashed somewhere and another story about a UFO that was found in some farmers barn. Both of those stories were given the usual news treatment. The reason that I am mentioning this is that I recently read an article about the entire library of Pathe' movie film being given to an institution of some kind which would make it available to researchers. I am certain that if these film clips could be located they would be useful. Realizing that these stories appeared prior to Blue Book and at a time of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, there is probably a better than even chance that they can be located by someone willing to spend the time viewing a few hundred hours of old news film. 14. More on item #7, the air-to-ground frequencies were in the 200mc range. I believe there is a standard set of air-to -ground or government frequencies either just above or just below the 220mc ham band and their communications were on those frequencies. Well there you have it ______. I hope that I have shed some light on some dark areas. Should any other thoughts come to mind that I feel may be important I will try to catch you on the ____________. Hopefully if I can get things settled down to a dull roar I will be able to start checking in on a more permanent basis. Of course, should you have any questions or want further clarification please contact me.

The reason Len Stringfields name is left in is that he is a known UFO researcher and it cannot hurt him as he was not the sender or receiver. end of part 15 ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
