UFO Shocker! Area 51 secrets revealed. Ex-employees at a mysterious Nevada testing site are finally free to talk

Posted in UFOs on October 17th, 2011 by Ryqn RoswellAfter nearly five decades, guys like James Noce finally get to tell their stories about Area 51.
Yes, that Area 51.
The one that gets brought up when people talk about secret air force projects, crashed UFOs, alien bodies and, of course, conspiracies.
The secrets, some of them, have been declassified.
Noce, 72, and his fellow Area 51 veterans around the United States now are free to talk about doing contract work for the CIA in the 1960s and ’70s at the arid, isolated southern Nevada government testing site.
Their stories shed some light on a site shrouded in mystery; classified projects still are going on there. It’s not a big leap from warding off the curious 40 or 50 years ago, to warding off the curious who now make the drive to Area 51.
The veterans’ stories provide a glimpse of real-life government covert operations, with their everyday routines and moments of excitement.
Noce didn’t seek publicity. But when contacted, he was glad to tell what it was like.
“I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years. I couldn’t talk about it,” he says.
In the 1960s, Area 51 was the test site for the A-12 and its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird, a secret spy plane that broke records at documented speeds that are still unmatched. The CIA says it reached Mach 3.29 (about 2,200 m.p.h. or 3,500 km/h) at a height of 90,000 feet.
But after September 2007, when the CIA displayed an A-12 in front of its Langley, Va., headquarters as part of the agency’s 60th birthday, much of the secrecy of those days at Area 51 fell away.
Warning to ufologists: Sorry, although Noce and other Area 51 vets say they saw plenty of secret stuff , none make claims about aliens.
But on to the secrecy part.
Noce remembers always getting paid in cash, signing a phoney name to the receipt, during his several years of working security at the site. It was, in CIA parlance, “a black project.”
Noce says he has no paperwork showing that he worked at Area 51 for the CIA. He says that was common.
Others who got cheques say they came from various companies, including Pan American World Airways.
But Noce is vouched for by T.D. Barnes, of Henderson, Nev., founder and president of Roadrunners Internationale, membership 325. Barnes is the one who says he got cheques from Pan Am, for whom he had never worked.
Roadrunners is a group of Area 51 vets including individuals affiliated with the U.S. Air Force, CIA, Lockheed, Honeywell and other contractors.
For the past 20 years, they’d meet every couple of years at reunions they kept clandestine. Their first public session was last October at a reunion in Las Vegas at the Atomic Testing Museum.
As age creeps up on them, Barnes, 72, an Area 51 radar specialist, wants the work the vets did to be remembered.
And Barnes himself has someone quite credible to vouch for him: David Robarge, chief historian for the CIA and author of Archangel: CIA’s Supersonic A-12 Reconnaissance Aircraft.
Robarge says about Barnes, “He’s very knowledgeable. He never embellishes.’
Barnes says that the way membership in the Roadrunners grew was by one guy who worked for the CIA telling about another buddy who worked at Area 51, and so on. Barnes says other Area 51 vets vouched for Noce.

Noce was a 1955 Vancouver High grad who went right into the air force and was trained in radar.
Leaving the service in 1959, he worked as a produce manager for the Safeway in Camas, 30 kilometres east of Vancouver.
Sometime in late 1961, Noce got a phone call at the grocery store. It was from a buddy of his from the air force days, who now worked for the CIA.
“He knew I had classified clearance from working at the radar sites,” remembers Noce. “He asked me how would I like to live in Las Vegas.”
Noce agreed to drive to Las Vegas and call “a guy” who worked for “the agency.”
And so Noce began doing security. Most of the time, it was routine stuff. On Monday mornings, a Lockheed Superconstellation would fly in from the “Skunk Works” in Burbank, Calif., bringing engineers and others who were working on the A-12. They’d stay there during the week and return home on weekends.
Skunk Works was the nickname for Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects, which had the A-12 contract.
The routine stuff included checking badges and making sure nobody had weapons or cameras. Security workers also made sure only those with proper clearance would witness a test flight.
And what a sight it was.
According to the CIA, its late former chief Richard Helms recalled visiting Area 51 and watching a midnight test flight of an A-12.
“The blast of flame that sent the black, insect-shaped projectile hurtling across the tarmac made me duck instinctively. It was as if the devil himself were blasting his way straight from hell,” said Helms, according to former CIA director Michael Hayden. Other times, the routine got very exciting.
Noce remembers when “Article 123,” as one of the A-12s was called, crashed on May 24, 1963, after the plane stalled near Wendover, Utah. The pilot ejected and survived.
Noce says he was among those who flew to the crash site in a giant cargo plane loaded with several trucks. They loaded everything from the crash into the trucks.
He remembers that a local deputy had either witnessed the crash or had quickly arrived at the scene. There also was a family on a vacation car trip who had taken photos.
“We confiscated the camera, took the film out,” says Noce. “We just said we worked for the government.”
He says the deputy and the family were told not to talk to anybody about the crash, especially the press.
“We told them there would be dire consequences,” Noce says. “You scared them.”
As an added incentive, he says, the CIA arrived with a briefcase full of cash.
“I think it was like 25 grand apiece, for the sheriff and the family,” says Noce.
Robarge says cash payments were routine to cover things up.
“It was common practice”
Noce also remembers providing security in 1962 as a disassembled A-12 was trucked along back roads from Burbank to Area 51. trailers.
At one point, a Greyhound bus travelling in the opposite direction grazed one of the trailers.
Wrote Robarge, “Project managers quickly authorized the payment of nearly ,000 for damage to the bus so no insurance or legal inquiry would take place.”
About the aliens … Noce and Barnes say they never saw anything connected to UFOs.
Barnes believes the air force and the CIA didn’t mind the stories about alien spacecraft. They helped cover up the secret planes that were being tested.
On one occasion, he remembers, when the first jets were being tested at what was Muroc Army Air Field, later renamed Edwards Air Force Base, a test pilot put on a gorilla mask and flew upside down beside a private pilot.
“Well, when this guy went back, telling reporters, ‘I saw a plane that didn’t have a propeller and being flown by a monkey,’ well, they laughed at this guy — and it got where the guys would see (test pilots) and they didn’t dare report it because everybody’d laugh at them,” says Barnes.
Noce says he quite liked working at Area 51.
He got paid ,000 US a month (about ,200 in today’s dollars). Weekdays he lived for free at the base in admittedly utilitarian housing — five men assigned to a one-storey house, sharing a kitchen and bathroom.
Something that all Area 51 vets remember about living at the base, he says, was the great food.
“They had these cooks come up from Vegas. They were like regular chefs,” Noce remembers. “Day or night, you could get a steak, whatever you wanted.”
Lobster was flown in regularly from Maine. A jet, sent across the country to test its engines, would bring back the succulent payload.
On weekends, Noce and other contracted CIA guys would drive to Las Vegas. They rented a pad, and in the patio plumbed in a bar with storage for two kegs of beer. It was a great time, barbecuing steaks and having parties, Noce says.
Noce has two pieces of proof from his Area 51 days: faded black-and-white snapshots taken surreptitiously.
One shows him in 1962 in front of his housing unit at Area 51. The other shows him in front of what he says is one of two F-105 Thunderchiefs whose Air Force pilots overflew Area 51 out of curiosity. The pilots were forced to land and were told that a no-fly zone meant just that.
Noce worked at Area 51 from early 1962 to late 1965. He returned to Vancouver and spent most of his working life as a longshoreman.
Noce remembers once in recent years talking with fellow retired longshoreman pals and telling them stories about Area 51. When they didn’t believe him, he says, “Well, there was nothing I could do to prove anything.”
Mary Pelevsky, a University of Nevada visiting scholar, headed the school’s Nevada Test Site Oral History Project from 2003 to 2008. Some 150 people were interviewed about their experiences during Cold War nuclear testing. Area 51 vets such as Barnes also were interviewed.
The historian says it was difficult to verify stories because of secrecy at the time, cover stories, memory lapses and, sometimes, misrepresentations.
But, she says, “I’ve heard this cloak-and-dagger stuff , and you say, ‘No way.’ Then you hear enough and begin to realize some of these stories are true.”
In October, Noce and his son, Chris, of Colorado, drove to Las Vegas for that first public reunion of the Area 51 vets. He and his old buddies remembered the days.
‘I was doing something for the country,’ Noce says about those three years in the 1960s. ‘They told me, ‘If anything should ever come up, anyone asks, ‘Did you work for the CIA? Say, ‘Never heard of them.’ But (my buddies) know.”

MEDIA ALERT: Prophet Yahweh, Seer Of Yahweh, Will Call Down UFOs For Radio And Television News And Talk Shows In All 50 States Of America, One State At A Time.

Posted in UFOs on May 26th, 2011 by Ryqn RoswellMEDIA ALERT: Prophet Yahweh, Seer Of Yahweh, Will Call Down UFOs For Radio And Television News And Talk Shows In All 50 States Of America, One State At A Time.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 19, 2005
Prophet Yahweh, Seer of YAHWEH, was blessed to discover the lost, ancient art of summoning UFOs and spaceships on-demand. Since 1979, hundreds of UFOs have appeared on his signal for witnesses to see.
Prophet is willing to call down UFOs for your station’s news or talk show to video and photograph? Want to find out more about this? Just keep reading.
On May 23, 2005, Prophet sent out a press release announcing his Las Vegas Media-Only UFO Summoning Event. In it, he stated that for 45 days, TV camera crews would immediately start filming UFOs that appeared on his signal, if TV stations came and filmed him summoning them. Prophet also said that if the media continued filming his summonings, sometime before the 45 day Las Vegas Media-Only summoning was over, a spaceship would descend and sit in the sky over Las Vegas for a day and a half.
The press release can be found at:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/5/prweb243327.htm
On May 25, 2005, KTNV ABC TV-13, in Las Vegas, NV contacted Prophet to put his summoning abilities to the test. And, on May 26, 2005, Prophet Yahweh met with them about 2:30 PM in Doolittle Park. At that time, Prophet Yahweh was documented calling down two UFOs for their cameras.
The news reporter was Mike Dello Stritto, and the camera man, was Jonathan Hawkins.
Prophet Yahweh made history as the first person to ever call down real UFOs for mainstream television cameras to film.
KTNV ABC TV-13 aired a news segment, hosted by Mike Dello Stritto, to all Las Vegas, showing the two UFOs that were filmed by their camera man, Jonathan Hawkins. One UFO was stationary in the sky while the other flew across Las Vegas. Then, it turned around and came back on the same path.
To see the news segment, featuring the UFOs that appeared, copy and paste the following address into you Internet Explorer browser or Windows Media Player:
http://ugv.abcnews.go.com/player.aspx?id=840037
This was a world class news event that should have gone throughout the earth, but, according to Prophet: “The powers that be stopped the story from being made known because they did not want humanity to find out that UFOs are real!”
After this, Prophet Yahweh found himself completely and totally abandoned, by all Las Vegas media.
And, because of this, Prophet’s attempt to call down the spaceship, for the cameras of mainstream TV stations to film, never happened. The reason why is because none of the Las Vegas media would come film him summoning the spaceship.
Many people felt that Prophet should have called down the spaceship because this would have forced all TV stations to come and film it.
But, Prophet said:
“The spaceship would never have appeared if I was not filmed calling it down. This is what the space beings wanted. They wanted me captured on film with their spaceship so everyone would know that these beings have chosen me to speak for them and no other person.The space beings kept their end of the bargain by sending a real UFO, on my signal, that was documented. But, Las Vegas media refused to film me calling down the spaceship. That’s why it never happened.”
Prophet Yahweh is now calling on all radio and television news and talk shows to allow him to come to their cities and summon sightings for them to document.
Don’t let Prophet Yahweh be blacklisted because the powers that be don’t want humanity to find out that UFOs are real.
Give Prophet a chance to summon real UFOs for your cameras like he did for KTNV ABC TV-13.
Call today and get your station on the list of those Prophet visits and summons sightings for.
