| JK: | I'm not sure except I know from his comments that this has been on his mind for all these years because frankly, they got a pretty close-up look at this thing. | |
| MG: | You know, my father was approached by someone else after he retired. And I tend to think it was the same group that published 'something of the gods,' it was a book. Not 'Chariots of the Gods,' what was it? I mean he was approached, and he refused to divulge any information at the time. | |
| JK: | Right, now the Blue Book documents have been declassified. I've got the names of I think about fourteen witnesses among the missile security police. | |
| MG: | Yeah, I remember that my father got the phone call, you know, in the evening, and from what he told us a young crewman told him that there was a hotel that was lit up right over the top of the missile site. That jiving with what you've got? | |
| JK: | Well they were certainly the first to report something, yes. I mean there are certain aspects of— | |
| MG: | Yeah, 'looks like a hotel on it's side, Sir.' [Chuckles]. | |
| JK: | Now, I hadn't heard that. There are certain things that are in the documents, and there are things I'm being told by people who were there that go beyond what's in the documents. | |
| MG: | OK, that's what, you know, the phone call was a frantic phone call—some missile guy to my dad and he said it's right above the missile site and it looks like a lit-up hotel and it's turned on it's side, so that's—now I don't know who that missile person was. | |
| JK: | Well, according to the documents here, and I've been trying to locate these guys, but there were two—you know they have these security teams in a little 4X4 truck and it's two man teams— | |
| MG: | Yeah, and they're young. | |
| JK: | Yeah, 21 years old, and the two guys that reported something first were named Isley and O'Connor. | |
| MG: | I don't recognize the names. Well, the phone call was to our home. | |
| JK: | Right, but that would probably be from the Base Operations I would guess. | |
| MG: | No, it was from a guy. | |
| JK: | Oh really! | |
| MG: | Yeah. |
