The source records William F. Hamilton discussing alleged government crash-retrieval operations from the 1947 Roswell incident to the present.1 He said he believed recovered spacecraft and bodies taken to USA, Nevada, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base were subjected to scientific and engineering study rather than simply stored,2 and believed that knowledge derived from recovered technology was being used by scientific agencies and aerospace industries.3 Hamilton described two routes by which evidence reached him: informants who had worked on secret or classified projects, and observations at secret installations.4 He referred to witnesses who had seen advanced technology principally at USA, Nevada, Nevada Test Site,5 said he had followed developments there for almost ten years,6 and relayed an early-1980s report concerning Project Red Light.7 He considered the possibility of alien technology being tested at the site,8 while suggesting that any such activity would form part of a larger programme with other locations and feeder lines.9
Hamilton then related the 1988 Ray and Nancy Tehachapi encounter. He said he had moved to land in USA, California, West Antelope Valley and discovered that it was about 13 kilometres from a secret Northrop installation in the USA, California, Tehachapi Mountains.10 He connected the installation with Ray, an inspector on the B-2 project, and described Ray and Nancy observing a glowing orb near the site.1112 Hamilton said the orb was approximately basketball-sized, rose from the ground, approached to within about 91 metres, emitted electrical sparks, and remained visible for several minutes.13 He also said the pair experienced missing time, after which Ray recounted under hypnosis an underground military installation and Nancy surrounded by small grey beings.1415 Hamilton said they reported the encounter at Edwards Air Force Base and later withdrew following harassment.16
The source also discusses the 1988-10-26 Tehachapi Mountains flyover, which Hamilton said involved two boomerang-shaped objects and approximately 17 disks; he said related sightings were later reported near USA, California, Fresno.1718 Its wider significance lies in Hamilton’s evidential and policy claims: he advocated publicising crash-retrieval testimony to encourage an investigation by the United States Congress,19 while acknowledging that most Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) research evidence was eyewitness testimony, sometimes supported by photographs or ground traces.20
