SUBJECT: JOHN LEAR AND THE KRILL PAPERS FILE: UFO2488 I received the following from John Lear ---quote--- FROM: John Lear, 71251,642 TO: Jack L Mathias, 72730,3636 DATE: 29-Sep-93 at 1:19:21 SUBJECT: Krill Dear Jack, thanks for your note. I have been flying cargo DC-8's 3 weeks on and 1 week off is the reason for the delay. I also don't check in with Compuserve very often. The Krill papers were written by John Grace. At the time he wrote them he was with the Air Force stationed at Nellis Air Force base and wanted to distribute the Krill papers but not under his name. I suggested the name KRILL which was an inside joke on the name CRLLL which was the name of one of the ET's first contacted by the Navy (see UFO's Are Real). John then added the initials O. H. which had no particular significance. When Bill Cooper and I were doing an interview with PM Magazine he told the producer that he had read the Krill papers while in the Navy and that O.H. stood for Original Hostage. I took Bill privately aside and told him that O.H. Krill was a name made up by John and myself in jest, so that he could release the papers not using his name. In my subsequent interview with George Knapp I told him that O.H. Krill was a "joke", meaning the name was a joke not the papers, and that it was impossible for Bill to have seen them in the Navy in 1970. It has been a long time since I read the Krill papers so I don't remember what was in them but I believe John was sincere and that they included his speculation. I did not mean that they were a hoax. Further, I have not participated in any hoax, although in 1987 I was approached by Jim Speiser to hoax an alien encounter to lure the government into a trap. I declined to participate in any manner. I recently saw a Russian spy sattelite photo taken of the Groom/Papoose Lake in July of 1988 about 9 am in the morning. It clearly shows a disc about 60 feet in diameter, several hundred feet in the air, near the Papoose Dry lake where Bob Lazar said he worked for the Dept. of Naval Intelligence on highly advanced extraterrestrial spacecraft. Since the Russians use film instead of digital imaging, it is highly unlikely that this is a hoax. As you know, I flew contract missions for the CIA and have taken a lot of flak over that association. Nevertheless, I stand by and fully believe the Bob Lazar story as told by Bob, Gene Huff and myself. It is not important to me whether or not anybody believes it. I believe it to be the truth. Some speculate that Bob is just a very bright guy and reads Scientific American. Let the record show that Bob was the first to talk about the Instantaneous Propagation of Gravity, the gravity A and B wave, the increasing stability of elements of elements up to 115, the instabilty of 116, the accessibility and amplification of the gravity A wave from element 115 and the nature of space travel many times faster than the speed of light. I would ask any interested parties to show me which issue of Scientific American or any other Scientific journal for that matter to specifically, with the possible exception of the stabilty of the elements, make these statements. On another note, Timothy Good accused me of "admitting" that some of my sources "have proved to be completely unreliable" and that I made "wild and exaggerated statements" (Alien Liaison, Timothy Good, Pg. 19). I categorically deny that I ever made that statement and asked for a retraction from Good. He promised that this would be corrected in the US version of Alien Liaison called Alien Contact. The correction was not made. I asked Timothy what sources he considered completely unreliable. He said Bill Cooper and Paul Bennewitz. I told him that Bill Cooper was never a source for anything and that, in fact, I had Fedexed all of MY information to Cooper in late 1987 before Cooper made any public satement. As far as Paul Bennewitz is concerned I know of no statement Paul made that was erroneous and that, in fact, Paul was the first one to talk about the murder of the 44 scientists by the grays which was later confirmed by Naval Intelligence briefings read by Lazar at the test site. It is still unclear to me which 'disinformation' Bill Moore claims to have fed Bennewitz as Moore never related any specifics. With the unfortunate passing of General James H. Doolittle, a very close personal and family friend, I am now able disclose the General as my source for the existence of MJ-12. Out of respect for his heroic personal and professional accomplishments I did not mention this fact until his passing. Thanks again for your note.
