MOON DUST - The Pentagon's Secret UFO Programs

Episode thumbnail: MOON DUST - The Pentagon's Secret UFO Programs. · UAP Gerb (YouTube), reproduced for identification

Gerb's first paper-trail video. Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly, run by the 1127th USAF Field Activities Group, had documented authority to recover fallen foreign space vehicles, and their cables touch UFO reports from Karachi in 1961 to a crashed disc in Nepal in 1968 and a cylinder in Bolivia in 1978. The Air Force denied Moon Dust to two senators in 1992, admitted it, and in 1994 said the records were destroyed. Gerb reads that as cover for crash retrieval.

Witness testimony (2)

At 16:15 on 6 May 1978 thousands of people in southern Bolivia saw a cylinder crash into a mountainside with a sonic boom heard far away; Army Cpl. Natalio Ruiz saw it pass overhead like 'a gigantic wine container' trailing white smoke.Press accounts as retold by Gerb.firsthandCpl.

Bolivian military and police said: 'It is a dull metallic cylinder 12 ft long with a few dents. No one knows what is inside it, and we are waiting for the arrival of various technical commissions.'Quoted in the press; a NASA expert was said to be expected.firsthandBolivian military and police (press)The Bolivian cylinder crash (6 May 1978)
