Five former military personnel have come forward to reveal that they worked at the secretive Area 51 testing facility. While stationed at Area 51 they claimed they worked on top secret CIA and military projects including a supersonic jet that could travel at three times the speed of sound. The appearance and flight performance of the top secret OXCART program led it to being often mistaken as a UFO according to the whistleblowers. A Los Angeles Times article with their testimonies concluded that the UFO mystery has been solved. Before celebrating the solution of the UFO mystery, it’s worth considering some information that the LA Times article did not.

OXCART or CIA Lockheed A-12 Spy Plane.

The LA Times article, "The Road to Area 51" was written by investigative author, Annie Jacobsen. She was able to interview the five retired military personnel due to a 2007 CIA decision to declassify fifty year old files concerning the OXCART or A-12 spy plane. This allowed the five to come forward for the first time to reveal their former classified activities. All revealed their roles in the CIA’s top secret development and testing of the OXCART as Lockheed's replacement for the U-2 for intelligence gathering flights over the Soviet Union. Satellites were still in development at the time so spy planes like the OXCART and U2 were a way of secretly gathering intelligence of Soviet operations. If a 1997 CIA History is to be believed, the UFO mystery was exploited as a convenient cover for spy planes like the U-2 and OXCART.

apparently the US govt has decided to take the approach that “it was the CIA”

Oh no not an aircraft that can go Mach 3.....I love it when folks decide they want 15 minutes (orless) in the spotlight

[mysterio]

Wow, it wasn’t space monsters. Who could have guessed that?

[varmintman]

That (people flying around in prop planes seeing jets for the first time) solves some of the UFO questions, but not all of them. Try doing google searches on “Apollo 20”....

[dead]

That's a funny article. It starts out claiming to solve the UFO "mystery" then sneak attacks the unsuspecting with proof(!) that this explanation is not enough!

It was like they reverse-engineered one of those standard "aliens are real" internet articles and used it for their own nefarious purposes!

Interstellar Overlord Glornuk will be pleased. I hope.

[peace with honor]

tell me it’s not so! I’ve seen the space ships at night when I left a certin place ( I think it was called the “Kit Kat Ranch” )in Nevada,I was seeing something

I read/heard that the Big Secret of Area 51 was that thet were using some highly toxic fuels for the different test aircraft. Over the years, the spillage contaminated many areas on the base and if the EPA found out, they'd throw a rod.

The Las Vegas Review Journal had articles about workers there who were coming down with unknown diseases, yet in many cases the govt wouldn't tell their doctors what the men were exposed to.

So does this mean that crop mutilation and alien buggery have also been solved? Will the kook fringe cottage industry now collapse?

*snicker*

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I wonder if these people can explain away angel hair (a spiderweb-like material that’s been observed with UFOs at times), animal mutilations (done with surgical precision), burn circles and other CE2Ks, grays (who only vagely resemble the humans that would be flying the advanced test aircraft), related medical phenomena (including, if true, odd pregnancies), and so on.

[JoJo Gunn]

Yeah, and can it explain away the so-called “Nordic” aliens? I’ve always wondered why our kooks see Greys, yet the Eurokooks see more “human” looking space aliens.

1. This info pile is a stinking pile.

A) 3 times the speed of sound is NOTHING of any significance. The SR71 was beyond that and it’s very old news.

B) Cute . . . a group of highly classified employees . . . in projects so black that one never really becomes FREE from the strictures related thereto as long as one lives . . . all pontificate in tidy little ways of help to the powers that be. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO impressive. [NOT!]

C) These employees like all others in such categories work in very compartmentalized projects. For them to then come out and remotely claim [not that they did—the editor or some such seems to have] that they have solved the whole collection of UFO related mysteries is hogwash.

2. This pile is a VERY LONG WAY from clearing up a long list of TYPES OF EVIDENCE and a much longer list of evidence that has little to nothing to do with their assertions in the article.

A) Abduction related impregnations and removing of end of 1st trimester half-breed/hybrid babies.

B) 4,000+ cases of tangible trace evidence left behind on the environment of landing cases.

C) cattle and human mutilations.

Fascinating how easy it seems to be for you to swallow this pile of stinking nonsense.

Quacks like, flies like, waddles like swims like flies like

a pile of terminal gullibility to the max in one silly direction vs

a pile of terminal skepticism in the other direction.

Fascinating paradox.

[Quix]

I thought you were wiser than that even with your card carrying government issue blinders and all.

[Quix]

INDEED.

And a lot more besides.

[Quix]

Didn’t realize that you were that misinformed.

Folks see a mixture all around the world.

[JoJo Gunn]

I thought you were wiser than that even with your card carrying government issue blinders and all.

It was sarcasm, Quix. Not for a nanosecond would I or any rational person think y'all's carnival sideshow will end. 

[JoJo Gunn]

Didn’t realize that you were that misinformed.

But of course I'm misinformed! I don't suffer from such hallucinations.  

[Quix]

Right.

Naysayers’ fantasies are of a quite different sort.

[JoJo Gunn]

Our fantasies are down to Earth.
