The meetings began in 1995, in a conference room in an office tower near the Las Vegas airport. The group started small: there were a handful of scientists and engineers; there was a CIA spy. There was a former Army colonel and two Apollo astronauts.
And there was the person who’d hand-picked the group and invited them to Las Vegas: Robert Bigelow, a Nevada real-estate magnate. He wanted to talk about aliens.
Bigelow, just turning 50 at the time, had made enough money as a commercial developer, opening budget hotels across the Southwest, that he could finally indulge a fascination with UFOs that dated back years, to a close encounter his grandparents had experienced and told him about when he was three years old. He dubbed the group, somewhat grandly, the National Institute for Discovery Science.
NIDS, as it took shape in those Las Vegas meetings, was mainly interested in two topics: UFOs and consciousness after death. Its members were experts who had gotten used to having their interests disrespected by their peers. The group’s co-founder was John Alexander, a retired Army officer who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and had published books and articles on various aspects of ufology and the paranormal. Another was Hal Puthoff, an engineer and self-described parapsychologist who, while at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s and 1980s, had carried out top secret experiments for the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency on “remote viewing,” or using the human mind to sense objects or events far away. “One of the professors at Stanford thought that was all nonsense,” he said. “He wouldn’t let his kids play with my kids because of what I was doing.”

Read the book to find out. The technology was advanced in WW2 by the Germans [who were, after all, building on the concepts generated by Ludwig Prandtl and Oscar Schrenk], and we won the war & gained all that war booty.
2 years later we see experimental craft crashing near military bases. That is consistent with a military program, and extremely INconsistent with superduperAdvanced aliens flying at superLUminal speeds.
The 1890s flap of UFOs supposedly marked them at flying the remarkable speed of 200MPH. Would 200MPH be a sign of alien technology TODAY? Nope. How about 4000MPH in 1952, would such a speed be a sign TODAY that they’re from alien worlds? Nope.
What about the band UFO?
What about Art Bell?
“ What about the band UFO?”
Yeah. Forgot Reid took them mainstream.
What does Art Bell have to do with military development of secret boundary layer control weapons from World War 2?
