SUBJECT: SILENT BLACK CHOPPERS FILE: UFO3204 4 #: 344740 S10/Paranormal Issues 03-Aug-92 20:23:51 Sb: #344620-#Silent Black Choppers Fm: Rob 70314,3623 To: Michael McDowell 76207,1247 (X) Michael: " The newspaper reports never gave Eglin as the source of the flights, and all the crashes were listed as civilian. So it was never clear why Eglin would send out teams on some and not on others." Ah, another attempt to re-write history. At least it is not the government doing it this time. I read all of your uploads and do not recall any of the above information being mentioned. "This was the sort of mistake Balsano made in reading my posts." Balsano didn't make a mistake - neither did Balsamo. But thanks for clarifying your statements. And you are right - that does sound very strange. I wonder if the NTSA is very happy about the possibility of these teams tampering with crash site evidence. I also wonder what happens to all of those experimental aircraft once they are through with them. Rob... There are 2 Replies.

I posted enough information, in my opinion, to make a point: it is strange. The information was misinterpreted, because I misjudged the amount of information necessary to show that point. For instance, when I said that the flights were not out of Eglin, I did not think to say: local newspaper reports always give someplace other than Eglin as the origin of these wrecked civilian planes. What you say is re-writing history is actually my having source material for something that I claimed. I was able to clarify the matter, I hope. #: 344852 S10/Paranormal Issues 03-Aug-92 22:17:58 Sb: #344740-Silent Black Choppers Fm: Michael McDowell 76207,1247 To: Rob 70314,3623 (X) Oh. And the NTSA does not investigate every flight that crashes, I don't believe. Occasionally it is said that someone will investigate from there, but I have never seen a follow-up. (That doesn't mean they didn't come, and didn't do a thorough investigation. It means that I have never seen a follow-up. Saying that I have never seen a follow-up does not imply that I think that the NTSA is part of a conspiracy with high-ups at Eglin Field; it means that I have never read in the local paper a report of a follow-up by the NTSA on one of these crashes. This disclaimer is not meant solely or primarily for you, it is here merely to emphasize that I do not place an interpretation on the lack of report on an NTSA follow-up. I note it because it might be an interesting bit of information for someone else.) #: 345019 S10/Paranormal Issues 04-Aug-92 01:06:18 Sb: #344620-#Silent Black Choppers Fm: Ron Holtz 71035,3440 To: Michael McDowell 76207,1247 (X) Just an unsubstantiated, but non-sinister explanation of why Eglin might respond to some civilian air crashes and not others: Perhaps the civilian emergency services ask for help sometimes ?

It may be that help was requested but that fact was never noted in the paper -- but I don't think that is the case, since it is always noted when help is called for from Eglin to transport accident victims. Also, if help had been asked for, I don't think the newspaper stories would carry the impression of there being a kind of race between Eglin and locals to get to the site first. There was also an inexplicable there in the past year or so, of a farmer who had been driving his tractor along the road. I don't want to say what was strange about it until I recover the notice of the death itself. The strangeness had to do with where he ended up, where the tractor ended up, the wounds/bruises on his body, and the apparent cause of death -- all of which did not add up in a major way. (This is not to suggest that he was a conspiracy victim, or that he was killed by something or someone from Eglin, only that it was a death that made no logical sense to me. Nor to officials, nor to the writer of the notice. It did not seem a natural death, but it didn't seem murder either. It seemed anomalous, like the cattle mutilations farther north in the state.)

Civilian requests for help from Eglin would have gone a long way towards explaining things, so I thought someone should at least bring it up. I'm a little confused over what exactly leads to the impression that there's a "race" to the crash sites. It would seem that whether there were one emergency team or two, the nature of emergency response is to get to the scene as quickly as possible. I'm not sure how one would distinquish between a scenario in which two emergency teams were independently hurrying to the same place, and a scenario in which they were racing against each other to get there. Excuse me, again, for challenging your interpretation, but since I have not read those reports myself, I'm just a little puzzled. It would be most helpful if you could cite the newspaper article references for several of these cases. I might then be able to examine the data first hand, rather than continuing to distract you from more important debates you have going.

The question of its being a race is, for instance, humorous descriptions of how the Eglin team was forced to wade shoulder-high leech-infested creek water because they thought that was the quickest way, but were distressed to find that the locals had got there first, and got there dry. My real point is that there is something here that is out of kilter -- not enormously out of kilter, just interestingly anomalous. (I realize now I can't assume that people realize that we are talking about an area that is quite near Gulf Breeze -- close enough that we would drive there for pizza on a school night. Though at that time, there wasn't much more at Gulf Breeze; it was a somewhat ridiculously undersubscribed housing development that nobody thought would take.)

Gulf Breeze is across the bay from Pensacola. There's several military bases along the coast in that area, I believe, although Eglin is by far the largest and most mysterious. A freind of mine worked there for a number of years in the early '80s, living at Fort Walton Beach. Suffice it to say that there's plenty of weird, mysterious stuff going on at and around Eglin whether aliens are involved or not.

My father lived a few miles from the base, my brother and sister-in-law trained there, and I've a military uncle who just retired to Gulf Breeze. It is very large. It is also not considered at all mysterious by those in the area.

In your immediately previous messages you indicated (I thought) that the response of Eglin to certain air crashes, and the death of a local farmer, were mysterious. So, are there or aren't there mysterious things happening around Eglin ? ********************************************************************* * -------->>> THE U.F.O.
