Ben Rich from 1975 to 1991, was the Director of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, the division responsible for development of several advanced technological aircraft including the U-2, the SR-17 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber, and the F-22 Raptor.
In a presentation about the infamous Skunk Works program, Rich made several unusual comments that had many in the audience scratching their heads.
During the presentation, Rich hinted on more than one occasion that more, undisclosed, top-secret advanced technologies have been developed since the F-117 was introduced. Of course, Rich could not go into specifics.
Jan Harzan, director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), attended the March 1993 lecture at the University of California, Los Angeles, with fellow UCLA engineering alumnus and UFO enthusiast Tom Keller.
Keller, an aerospace engineer who has worked as a computer systems analyst for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wrote about it in the May 2010 issue of “MUFON UFO Journal” and Harzan shared his story in a January 2012 interview with Web Talk Radio Network, and another with Alejando Rojas of Open Minds UFO News and Investigations in July 2013.
Jan Harzan told:

Send all the illegals home. Space aliens and earth aliens.
SR-17?
Ping a ling.
Dyslexics untie...
“All points in time and space are connected.”
Sounds like something out of the Baghavadgita when they talk about the ancient flying craft of India called vimanas.
So why not rescue those stranded astronauts, smart boy?
My doctor gave me a prescription for daily sex but my wife swears it was dyslexia. What am i to do?
ET , extra testicle ?
Bingo. First find the “ET” and then tell us where “home” is.
How many light years are we estimating? How fast is this technology? Will ET be alive when he gets home?
LOL!
“We now have the capability to travel to the stars. First, you have to understand that we will not get to the stars using chemical propulsion. Second, we have to devise a new propulsion technology. What we have to do is find out where Einstein went wrong.”
The SR-17 Birdblack is the secret one that flies backwards.
There was also a female executive assistant who made a similar public statement about “already going to the stars”. Phrased as though it already happened. If she and her claim were covered above I missed it.
I remember Ben Rich’s doing a few interviews. He did say that, but he was probably joking, unless there’s a secret transluminal capability that’s been getting tested surreptitiously with probes sent off to various nearby stars — for the past 30 years. There’s no way any such discovery would be ignored and not developed.
IOW, this “quote” is bound to be no such thing.
There’s a claim that (still living AFAIK) Buzz Aldrin said the crew of Apollo 11 saw a UFO on the way to the Moon. It’s a load of crap. They ran across the expended stage 3 booster at some point in their trip.
