From Ben Rich, Lockheed martin director of skunkworks.

Ben Rich...Quotes...Anything you can imagine we already know how to do., cont...

“The U. S. Air Force has just given us a contract to take E. T. back home.”

“We also know how to travel to the stars.”

“Anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”

“If you’ve seen it in Star Trek or Star Wars, we’ve been there and done that.”

“We have things in the Nevada desert that are alien to your way of thinking
far beyond anything you see on Star Trek.”

Upon graduation with a master’s degree in thermodynamics from UCLA, Ben Rich was hired by Lockheed. In December 1954, Rich was sent to the secret research and development Skunk Works section run by Lockheed. Later was program manager for the SR-71 Blackbird propulsion system. The idea to paint the high-speed aircraft’s skin black, to help dissipate the tremendous frictional heat, was Rich’s. He championed the early prototypes of stealth technology and led the development of theF117stealth fighter. Ben Rich, stated during a 1993, Alumni Speech at UCLA:

ISN’T IT BEN RICH WHO SPOKE ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO AT A MEETING IN CALIFORNIA AND SAID WE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY `TO TAKE E. T. HOME’?
That’s exactly correct, Linda. I have that quote right here. Mr. Ben Rich passed away in 1995 and before he passed away, he dropped a number of bombshells. This took place at Wright-Patterson AFB back in 1993. He gave a slide presentation there and also at the UCLA School of Engineering Alumni speech – he gave on March 23, 1993. At the very end of his presentation, in both of these venues, he completed his slides with the following quote: `The U. S. Air Force has just given us a contract to take E. T. back home.’

He also mentioned, “We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity… ...anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”

And he also mentioned at the UCLA speech, `It is time to end all secrecy on this as it no longer poses a national security threat and to make the technology available for use in the private sector.’ That’s exactly what we’re talking about here.

He was telling us about a whole level of aircraft, of spacecraft, of advanced propulsion systems that are so far advanced. He even mentioned technologies that are 50 years beyond even what we could possibly dream of. Now, when you hear that coming from the Director of the Skunk Works, I think it is important to really take that to heart. This gentleman knew something and he was trying to tell us something. And I think this is the space program that none of us have a clue about in the civilian sector. This is what Ben Rich was trying to tell us about.

And, without hard proof, it can just as easily be a well orchestrated ruse. The government and it’s minions exist in large part because of the deception they constantly throw up. Surely, in all that time at the Skunk Works Mr. Rich could have produced one photo negative of this marvelous technology to prove his case?
