UNDERGROUND BASES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

  There has been a great deal of new information about UFO activity in 
Southern California, specifically in the vicinity of Lancaster, Palmdale and 
Edwards AFB.  It appears that three research facilities operated by Northrop, 
McDonnell-Douglas and Lockheed are involved with developing new types of 
aircraft which possibly utilize anti-gravity propulsion.  There are also 
reports by people who say they work at (or used to work at) these facilities.  
They describe huge, elaborate, underground complexes that are linked 
together by tunnels.  Not only that, but some local residents have told UFO 
researchers that they have been abducted and taken to an underground 
facility where they report seeing humans in military uniforms and small 
grey-skinned "alien" beings.  An outline of my preliminary on-site 
investigation follows:

The Northrop facility goes by the name of "The Tejon Ranch" (pronounced 
tay-on).  It is sometimes referred to by UFO researchers as the "Tehachapi 
Ranch."  It is located in the foothills of the Tehachapi mountains, at the 
mouth of Little Oak Canyon, about 25 miles northwest of Lancaster, 
California.  It is not under restricted airspace.  Although the public is 
told that this is a cattle ranch, no livestock are visible anywhere on the 
property.  UFO researcher, Bill Hamilton says that if asked, Northrop 
Corporation will say that this is an "electromagnetic research facility".

UFO Researcher, Norio Hayakawa, reports that the signs at the main entrance 
gate read:  "PRIVATE PROPERTY-NO TRESPASSING."  Other signs read:  "DANGER!  
POISON DEVICES IN THE AREA!  THESE DEVICES ARE DANGEROUS.  THEY CONTAIN 
DEADLY CYANIDE.  STAY AWAY AND KEEP YOUR DOGS AWAY.  THESE DEVICES ARE THE 
PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND ARE USED FOR PROTECTION OF 
LIVESTOCK AND GAME ANIMALS.  TAMPERING WITH THESE DEVICES OR THIS SIGN IS A 
FEDERAL OFFENSE.  THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE."  It is the 
opinion of some researchers that there is no cyanide and these signs merely 
serve as a deterrent.  This facility does not appear to have anything to do 
with livestock.  Another sign attached to the cattle gate reads:  "NORTHROP 
CORPORATION-PICO RIVERA."

Norio Hayakawa also reports that a white van with government plates is seen 
entering the cattle gate daily at 7am, 3pm, and 11pm.  It is driven by a 
uniformed guard with a Northrop arm patch, and usually contains additional 
military personnel in uniform.

In the aerial photos, the long, wide surfaces are not runways. There are 
white-painted diamond-shaped openings on these surfaces. A white pylon is 
visible in the center of one diamond shape.  A pylon "rack" and antenna 
array are located near the main buildings. 

One obvious purpose of this and the other facilities operated by McDonnell-
Douglas and Lockheed is for "Stealth" aircraft research.  Various objects or 
aircraft shapes can be placed on the pylons and radar or other types of 
energy can be projected at the aircraft shapes so that the reflected energy 
can be measured or other types of experiments can be made.  There may be 
other purposes for this arrangement.

The Northrop facility is rumored to have at least 42 underground levels and 
is said to connect to other underground facilities by an extensive network 
of subterranean tunnels.

Many strange aircraft have been seen flying over and around the area, 
including glowing disks, triangle shapes, large boomerang shapes, elongated 
shapes with lighted windows, and small glowing spheres.

There is one report from a woman who lives about 10 miles east of the 
Northrop facility.  She says that she saw a very large glowing disk hovering 
over the buildings at the northwest end.  The disk was described as being as 
wide as the group of buildings, which would make it several hundred feet in 
diameter!

Small disks have been reported to be seen coming and going, from the area 
near the base, perhaps using the white diamond shapes on the "runways" for 
entry and exit.

Black helicopters are commonly seen flying around.  While Bill Hamilton and I 
were near the cattle gate entrance, we saw a dark colored UH-1 "Huey" 
helicopter approach the area from the direction of Edwards AFB.  We lost 
sight of it as it flew into a canyon just north of the area.  We did not see 
it land at the base.  There is rumored to be a disguised entrance in the 
Tehachapi mountains that may be used by helicopters and perhaps other types 
of craft.


The McDonnell Douglas facility is sometimes referred to as the "Llano" 
facility.  It is located at the site of the old Gray Butte Airport, about 
six miles southwest of El Mirage dry lake and about nine miles northeast of 
Llano, California.  It is not located under restricted airspace.  

The original triangular runway configuration is still visible but the 
runways are no longer used for conventional aircraft takeoffs and landings.
Large letters on one runway read "NO TRESPASSING UNSAFE FOR LANDING."  Signs 
attached to the perimeter fence read:  "TRESPASSING-LOITERING FORBIDDEN BY 
LAW.  RIGHT TO PASS BY PERMISSION AND SUBJECT TO CONTROL OF OWNER."

The main buildings and antennas are at the west end.  A large building with 
internal crane slides on two tracks and can be positioned over a fixed pylon 
in order to place an object on top of the pylon.

Unusual glowing objects are seen mounted on this pylon at night.  I myself 
have seen a glowing object on this pylon that varied in intensity from a dim 
white to brilliant red/orange.

Small glowing spheres have been reported to approach curious onlookers at 
night.  It is thought that these glowing objects might be some type of 
monitoring device.  The maneuvering abilities of these spheres defy 
explanation.

The Lockheed facility is called the RCS (Radar Cross Section) test range.  
It is sometimes referred to as the "Hellendale" facility.   This is a 
genuine underground base.  It also may function as a C.o.G. (continuity of 
government) facility.  It is located next to the site of the old Hellendale 
auxiliary airport, six miles north of Hellendale, California and two miles 
south of the southern edge of the Edwards AFB restricted airspace.  It is 
shown as a circle with an X on the Los Angeles aviation sectional chart. The 
triangular runway configuration is visible to the west.  The main buildings 
and main antenna array are at the south end.  The main underground entrance 
is visible to the north.  Two lighter colored gray diamond shapes are 
visible on the prepared surface. Most straight surfaces are angled away from
the antennas.

There appear to be numerous openings to the underground visible in the 
photos. There is a sliding door arrangement at the north end, just above 
where the road leads underground.  Just a few yards to the north is a dark 
colored square that appears to open like the petals of a flower.

Signs at the perimeter fence read:  "TRESPASSING-LOITERING FORBIDDEN BY LAW.  
TRESPASSERS ARE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION.  PRIVATE PROPERTY-NO TRESPASS.  
LOCKHEED CORP."

When I flew over the area, an elliptically-shaped object was mounted on top 
of the northern pylon and was slowly rotating.  I estimate the height of the 
pylon to be at least 100 feet.  The elliptical object is at about 30 feet 
long.  The object is similar in shape to half an almond, flat on the bottom, 
pointed at both ends, with a curved flange running along each side.  What it 
is I can't be sure, but it is my guess that it is a full-sized "something" 
rather than a component of something else.

On a different day, Bill Hamilton and I observed the Lockheed Hellendale 
facility from the road just west of the perimeter fence. As we watched, two 
large doors opened up and a pylon with elliptical object attached rose up out 
of the ground.  The large doors are still open in the photos and video.  
This object could be the same as the one seen from the air, but since it was only 
seen from one side, it is not known for certain if it was actually disk-
shaped, but it is possible.  In August, I was in the Los Angeles area and 
met with Gary Schultz and Norio Hayakawa.  They reported that on a recent 
visit to the same area, they saw a definite disk-shaped object on the pylon.

So what does all this mean?  It means that for the first time, we have 
verifiable evidence of high-technology aircraft being designed or built by 
U.S. aerospace corporations at secret underground installations. These 
aircraft do not depend on aerodynamic lift from wings, propellers, jet 
thrust, etc.    

Does this mean that all UFOs/flying saucers are really American 
high-tech aircraft that have been kept secret all these years?  Are aliens 
from other planets just a convenient cover story?  Not on your life! 
Unexplained craft have been seen for thousands of years.  Are these craft 
made by "us," "them," or some combination?  Who knows?  Perhaps it is true 
that we have discovered how to build aircraft similar to "alien" flying 
saucers, but did we have help from someone else?  What, if anything did we 
trade for this help?  Who oversees these "Deep Black" programs?  How much 
do they cost?  And most importantly, what is the purpose?  We do not yet 
have the answers.  

At any rate, the test programs are becoming bolder and more intense.
