Air Force Plant 42 (Palmdale)

The Air Force's aircraft plant at Palmdale in the Antelope Valley, where Lockheed's Skunk Works, Northrop and Boeing build and modify classified aircraft. A 1994 trade-press report says the wreck from a mysterious Boscombe Down crash was flown there. UAP Gerb places the building of human-made 'hidden wing' craft there, and an anonymous Boeing insider puts Project Red Light sites nearby.

At a closed Norton AFB show on 12 November 1988, reached by a 727 flight to Plant 42, he saw the losing B-2 prototype, an unmanned 'Aurora' of 100-110 ft and three worn, lead-painted discs of 20, 60 and 120 ft hovering silently, said to have 'been everywhere in the solar system'.Brad SorensenAir Force Plant 42 (Palmdale)Alien Reproduction Vehicle - the Testimony of Mark McCandlishsecondhandSourced, unconfirmedBrad Sorensen
