BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE

Recently obtained documents reveal that these studies for Wright Patterson were conducted at Battelle under the direction of Dr. Howard C. Cross. In the late 1940's, H.C Cross was Battelle's expert scientist in exotic metallurgy and Titanium alloy research.

Curiously –although he was a research metallurgist- Cross was also Battelle’s "point person" in later studies on UFOs that Battelle conducted in the early 1950's for the U.S. Air Force's official UFO study, Project Bluebook. Cross is likely an author of Project Bluebook's still-missing Report Number 13. He is also the author of a strange letter from Battelle to Wright Patterson known as "The Pentacle" memo. Dr. Cross' historic role will be detailed in a forthcoming article.

Founded in 1929, Battelle is engaged in research, development and commercialization of technological innovation. They specialize in materials science and engineering, life sciences, energy science and national security. Battelle contract operates many of our country's National Laboratories. This includes some of the U.S.'s most sensitive installations such as Oak Ridge, Lawrence Livermore and Brookhaven laboratories. Battelle is headquartered in proximity to Wright Patterson- and remains one of the nation's leading defense contractors. Their metallurgical capabilities and technical talent continue to be recognized as world-class.......

Dr. Howard C. Cross. In the late 1940's, H.C Cross was Battelle's expert scientist in exotic metallurgy and Titanium alloy research... Cross was also Battelle's "point person" in later studies on UFOs that Battelle conducted in the early 1950's for the U.S. Air Force's official UFO study, Project Bluebook. Cross is likely an author of Project Bluebook's still-missing Report Number 13. He is also the author of a strange letter from Battelle to Wright Patterson known as "The Pentacle" memo. Dr. Cross' historic role will be detailed in a forthcoming article.

What reason (if any) is given for his supposed authorship of #13 (which remains classified, and probably will for the foreseeable -- assuming it ever was completed or existed in the first place; perhaps 13 was skipped altogether due to superstition, or as a misdirection)? Cross is listed in the cc's of the so-called "Pentacle Memo" (it was given that name by Jacques Vallee), and is also shown as its author.

Some say that nitinol was developed as the result of attempts to reverse engineer the Roswell “memory metal.”

A fascinating book on the whole Roswell controversy is Carey, Thomas J., and Donald R. Scmitt, “Witness to Roswell.”

The pair started out researching the Roswell reports over a decade ago as skeptics intent on debunking the whole thing, but were gradually won over. The book is by far the most comprehensive - and yet most objective - investigation of Roswell ever published.

I read it as someone highly skeptical of the whole “tinfoil hat” mob, and was gradually won over. Believer or skeptic, it’s an amazing read and well worth the time.

EXCELLENT find.

Of course, the naysayers will claim to know more than Battelle et al.

Which . . . considering . . .

wellllll . . . anyway.

I've been to Battelle many times and my girlfriend used to do classified work there on aerial photographs. And, she is currently revising her previous published book on UFO's.

By the way Battelle is the shorter, brown building in the foreground.
