It weighed nowhere near enough to be any metal that       we had ever seen. It even weighed less than any plastic that       I had seen of a similar size.              I tried to scratch it with a pocket knife, and even cut away       a small piece of the edge, but the knife did nothing to it.       The surface was clear as glass, and stronger than anything we       had ever seen. It was like trying to scratch the surface of       glass with a feather. Of course, we had to turn it into the       security people.              After the site was secure, the first groups that included       myself were taken away. There was a very thorough strip       search prior to us being given jumpsuits, and put into a       truck for the transportation to a waiting plane. We were       taken to another area and debriefed before we were allowed to       return to our normal way of life.              About three months later, a few of us returned to the site to       remove the buildings, fill up the hole, and generally put       the area back into the same shape as it may have been prior       to the crash. We went through the same type of security       search and debriefing as we had done the first time.       Whatever was left of the craft had been removed and sent to -       unknown-.              Almost one year to the day, I was sent to another crash site.       Everything was a repeat of the first time, except that there       were six of us. Four of us were part of the first crash       site, and the other two were new. This time the air craft       was buried so deep into the lower side of a hill that we       could not get a good look at it.              The security arrangements were just about the same, and we       constructed similar buildings around it. It was very close       to a rerun of the first crash site. Only this time we were       told, "as a matter of fact it was a top secret experimental       air craft that had crashed". I could however, manage to see       the rear end of the craft. It appeared to be the same type       as the first. The code name of the project was Pluto, as it       was the first also. Incidently, that was in upstate New       York, in 1976. I do not know if there were any "people" or       life forms aboard.              Several years later, I had an occasion to be in the area of       site #one. The bartender only recognized me because he       brought in our first room service the first night we stayed       there. There was no room service there, but he made his one       and only exception to the rule for us. He asked me lots of       questions which of course had no answers for, nor would I       give any. He told me that he heard that there were lots of       medical people on the site. He thought that rather odd for       an electric power station. He assumed that there must have       been some kind of an accident, or lots of waste material in       the area. We let it go at that.              It appears that security was very good, and no one had any       idea that an air craft had crashed there. I suspect that the       air craft was fifty feet in diameter and as long as two       hundred feet. I could be wrong in the length. As I recall       the under portion of air craft #one had more of a flat       surface. It was difficult to see, but I do recall the       difference in the portion of the under surface that I could       see.              There were also a few interesting grooves on the top and side       areas about twenty feet long. We had speculated that either       a steering fin had been attached, or a place where it could       slide through from the inside, similar to the type of       system used to lower wheels on any air craft. First       speculation!              In 1978, I was again sent to a crash site. We arrived the       day after the security people. This time the air craft       landed in a lake in upstate Pennsylvannia. We went through       the same motions, and built several buildings on the edge of       the lake to house the craft, once it was removed from the       water. Lots of Navy equipment was flown in, and there were       divers everywhere. The same magnetic field was present as in       the first two incidents. There was no air craft.              I spent three weeks there in the event that the buildings had       to be adjusted. It seems that the divers had located the       exact spot that the air craft had rested on the bottom, but       it was gone. There was lots of evidence on the beach that       something very large had crashed into the lake causing the       water of the lake to splash ashore, over thirty feet, and       what was normally a rather clean lake, was suddenly a very       large mudhole. After three weeks, I left and was subjected       to the same type of security as the first two times.              I didn't have to return to dismantle the pre-fab buildings.       I would think that it was done by others very soon there       after. There was some thoughts at first that the craft may       have been buried under the bottom of the lake, but by this       time, we knew enough about the craft to know if that were the       case. It was not - it just vanished. Perhaps it was not       damaged and managed to fly away. That may sound silly, but I       believe that it is a reasonable conclusion. There was some       damage to the immediate area. Six large electrical       transformers, and some other equipment were burnt out and had       to be replaced by the electric company. The government took       the electrical equipment and had it flown somewhere else.              end of part 11                       **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
