SUBJECT: SPACE ALIEN HELPED U.S. GET TO THE MOON FILE: UFO1985 Cape Canaveral, Fla. - A stranded space alien gave America the technology to make it to the moon in the 1960s - in exchange for NASA engineers repairing his spaceship so he could make it back to his home galaxy! It was America's darkest secret...even more secret than the A-bomb, a former NASA design engineer told this reporter in an exclusive interview in his home here. The retired engineer agreed to lift that veil of secrecy when the NEWS agreed not to reveal his identity. The alien, who came to Earth from a distant galaxy, gave NASA the data needed to build the incredible Saturn 5 rocket that carried America's Apollo astronauts to their rendezvous with the moon in July 1969, the engineer said. It was before dawn on Feb. 16, 1963, when the alien crash landed his ship at the Kennedy Space Center. He was taken into custody and questioned by the FBI for more than a week. He said he came from a planet almost 20 billion light years from Earth and was making a routine flight ot our galazy when his main life support pressure tank ruptured. With out the tank, the alien said he wouldn't be able to get back to his planet. At the time we were having trouble developing an engine powerful enough to carry out a moon landing mission. We just couldn't design a rocket powerful enough to lift a 5 million pound spaceship! Well, the alien said he would give us the plans for an engine that could generate more than 7 million pounds of thrust...if we repaired his pressure tank and allowed him to go on his way. To make a long story short, it was an offer NASA couldn't refuse. I was called in and I installed a main tank and backup able to maintain a pressure of 900 psi. The alien was delighted. And he kept his part of the deal by giving NASA all the data it needed, along with detailed plans, to build the engine we needed to make it to the moon. And as they say, the rest is history. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
