ENCOUNTER AT EDWARDS
By Jeff Krause
August 22, 2014
One of the most troubling aspects of the whole UFO phenomena to me, are the numerous accounts of encounters on military installations, and the subsequent cover up’s, and improper treatment of personnel involved. This is a practice that began within days of the crash at Roswell, when President Truman ordered the creation of the National Security Council by Public Law 80-253, approved on July 26, 1947, and thus the lid was successfully clamped down on the biggest event in the history of the world!
Civilian witnesses were aggressively interrogated, threatened, and told to remain quiet about what they saw or they would be “taken out into the desert, and never seen again”, and that “bullets are cheap”. Military witness didn’t have it any better, as many were subjected to harsh interrogations, often with the use of chemicals, and made to sign documents that in every instance described their encounters as anything but what truly occurred. In many of these instances the witnesses were even told the “complete truth” about the extraterrestrial presence, about how “many species are visiting the Earth”, how “they have been here for thousands of years”, that we are “dealing with technology way more advanced than ours”, and similar “confessions” in an effort to convince them that keeping this information secret was in everyone’s best interest.
It is my firm belief that shining a light on these encounters, and educating as many people as possible about the truth of what is going on, is the best defense these people have in their search for the truth. That the majority of these encounters are kept from the public is a disservice to everyone, and the basis for the many of the troubles that our society is dealing with today. With that in mind, I am going to present a case to you all today that I feel is not only representative of the types of encounters military personnel have experienced, but also demonstrates the way these instances are commonly dealt with.
For now my witness wishes to remain anonymous due to his oath of secrecy, and his fear of losing his military pension. I can completely understand and respect where he is coming from, and I would never compromise the identity and safety of anyone, so for the purposes here I will just refer to him as SP John, and his partner as SP Bob. In truth, my witness cannot remember the name of his partner anyway, a fact that I find interesting in itself. I would also like to add that this case is closed now, although that should not be construed to mean that I am done with it by any means. As more information becomes available I will be adding to it, until hopefully I have all of the information relating to this encounter. Part of the reason I am sharing this fascinating encounter with everyone is in the hopes that more witnesses will come forward with more pieces of the puzzle.
Around the 10th of February 1977, at Edwards Air Force Base near Lancaster, California, two security police personnel on patrol, SP John and SP Bob, were on patrol of the ridgeline near the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory in their security police vehicle, so that SP John could give SP Bob a good view of the area. SP Bob was a trainee and new to the base, so SP John was helping him to become familiar with the base. It was approximately 0200 when while observing the area, the pair spotted a large black disc shaped object, which “appeared to be sitting on top of one of the laboratory buildings”. SP Bob asked SP John, “what is that?” to which SP John replied, “I have no idea”. The disc then started to rise up an estimated 200 ft. from the building and started moving in a circular motion toward their position.
SP John raised the microphone from the vehicle radio to transmit what his position was and what he was seeing, when he realized that the radio was dead. Both men tried their portable walkie-talkies, which were also dead. Of note, all of their radios were checked both before and after guard mount, and were otherwise normal. Next SP John turned on their vehicles light bar in an attempt to use it as a signal device, even though they were many miles from base. The lights operated for about 10 seconds before they too ceased to function, and would not come back on no matter SP John’s efforts. When the disc was within 100 feet of their security vehicle, its engine died as well and would not restart.
At this point SP John removed the issued Remington 870 shotgun from its rack in the vehicle, and opened his vehicles door gripping the shotgun in a “death grip”. SP John describes the disc as being “a glassy black color, about the size of two C5-A aircraft, wingtip to wingtip. It made no sound, totally silent.” SP John did not see any lights, and although he looked for any markings or insignia, he saw none. The disc stopped directly over their vehicle, and they both just stared up at it in helpless disbelief.
