I can tell you a story I was told. A person I knew from church said he was taking care of a person who was dying from cancer. This individual was working for the military back in the 70s and said he developed a laser that during a test run was able to shoot a fighter jet out of the sky. To add credence to this story the individual I know said while he was at this individual house two men in suits approached him and told him that this man may be delirious and to never repeat anything he told him.
I believe it. A friend of mine’s father was at Area 51 in its early years. He NEVER talked about his work.
