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.                      (signature)              NOTE...Any information that would identify the sender or       recipient of this letter has been deleted in order to protect       them. The original document contains both names and       addresses but will be given to no one without their       permission. 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.
