Messing With an American Hero
“I can’t, nonetheless stand-by and allow them to defame and slander an American
hero, fighter pilot, take a look at pilot, photograph interpreter, then-Main Florenze J.
Mansmann, later Stanford Analysis Fellow, Physician Florenze J, Mansmann,
PhD. …”
Dr. Bob Jacobs has requested me to ahead this assertion to members of AARO, previous and current. It’s also being despatched to different events, together with distinguished journalists, and will likely be posted at The UFO Chronicles web site–Robert Hastings My identify is Robert M. “Bob” Jacobs, PhD. I’m Full Professor |
Amongst many different issues earlier than this, I used to be First Lieutenant Robert M Jacobs,
Officer in Cost of the Photograph-Optical Instrumentation Part of the 1369th
Photographic Squadron at Vandenberg Air Pressure Base. My part of 135 NCOs and
Airmen supplied high-speed movement image protection of each single ICBM
launched down the Western Check Vary from about 30 cameras positioned on and
across the launch pad, as effectively four-to-six high-speed, lengthy focal size
lensed cameras mounted on trackers from three completely different places across the
pad.
Throughout my three-and-one-half-year tenure there I grew to become extraordinarily effectively adept
at analyzing hundreds of toes of movie exhibiting up shut and private views of
missiles launching and flying off to wherever. I’ve hooked up a replica of certainly one of
my Officer Effectivity Experiences (OERs) to display the arrogance my superior
officers had in my efficiency of duties. I used to be additionally awarded The Air Pressure
Guided Missile Badge for “Making a big contribution to America’s
Missile and Area Program.” I wrote a report entitled, “Deliberate Deception:
A Crucial Evaluation of the Curious Occasions at Vandenberg Air Pressure Base in
September, 1964.” It was revealed in The MUTUAL UFO Journal, Quantity
249, January 1989.

I wrote that piece to make clear and specify what had been reported first in 1982
in a badly butchered model of my assertion within the
Nationwide Enquirer rag. That article had stimulated a flurry of calls
and letters from “researchers” across the nation. I stand behind the
UFO Journal piece.
In brief, many know that I reported having been in-charge of a brand new monitoring
web site that I made close to Anderson Peak at Large Sur, California. Company
engineers from aerospace corporations, the builders of the missiles, needed to
know if we might present monitoring protection exhibiting missile in flight downrange
from a aspect view. I discovered such a web site and started exhibiting protection that
delighted these engineers.
In the future I acquired a name from Main Florenze J. Mansmann, chief photograph analyst in
the Workplace of the Chief Scientist on the First Strategic Aerospace Division
Headquarters on base. I had labored with Main Mansmann numerous occasions on
different initiatives. He knowledgeable me {that a} new system for monitoring missiles was
being flown out from Cape Canaveral to our Large Sur web site. I used to be dispatched to
meet what was the Boston College Telescope and its creator Physician Walt
Manning.
My workforce and I did so, helped set up the spectacular scope on web site and a day or
two later, we captured on movie a UFO firing 4 beams of sunshine and disabling
certainly one of our dummy nuclear reentry automobiles in near-space on a trajectory to
Eniwetok Lagoon. “Deliberate Deception” gives particulars of that occasion.
Some years later now, I acquired a observe from a good friend exhibiting me that
Wikipedia has revealed a factoid that Large Sur was all a mistake and that I
had merely misinterpreted what I noticed, even after analyzing a whole lot of different
movie pictures of missiles in flight, and that my account—after quite a few
retellings by me in writing, in podcasts, TV collection, a movement image, and
private testimonies together with to AARO—has been dismissed by that august physique
as my having mistaken what I noticed as chaff and some decoys of ours. This
conclusion, reached by the then-AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick, relies on an
article from the “esteemed” publication, Skeptical Enquirer, authored by the
late Kingston A. George.
He was a civilian analyst who did, in reality, take part in bringing the BU
Telescope to Vandenberg. He was on the positioning when the software arrived, and we had
footage taken collectively to show it. I by no means noticed him once more after that day, however
I did learn a report he issued after the experiments with it have been over. In
response to my MUFON article, he was solicited by the man who ran Skeptical
Enquirer to rebut me. George did so by testifying that he knew of an ‘anomaly’
on one Atlas launch code named, “Buzzing Bee” and that it concerned some
“chaff” and the releases of “decoys” and that he noticed this movie “a few
weeks after the launch” and I imagine him. Nevertheless, “Buzzing Bee” was NOT the
occasion that I filmed.
Mine, on 15 September 1964 was code named, “Butterfly Internet” and my account of
the UFO occasion in it has been verified by Main Mansmann and others who’ve
really seen the movie picture, together with Lue Elizondo.
George’s testimony that he noticed my movie a few weeks later has been confirmed
to not be true. And that’s just because, as Main Mansmann testified in
writing, that movie was snipped from the reel with a pair of scissors and brought
again East that very day by the CIA. That movie was by no means at Vandenberg after
that day so, as Lt. Colonel Tim Phillips of AARO has falsely reported, they
couldn’t have just lately gone again to Vandenberg, recovered the unique 35mm
and 45mm authentic movie and verified George’s account. Effectively, there by no means was
any 45mm movie, and there was no 35mm or 16mm movie left at Vandenberg for Tim
or Sean to have checked out.
Interval. They lied.
So, I’m now relegated to the scrapheap of morons reporting on UFOs. One other
sufferer of the continued, orchestrated marketing campaign of propaganda and disinformation
from our personal authorities.
Tim and Sean might not have seen my movie pictures. However different contemporaries have.
It nonetheless exists, as Lue assured me.
My practice is nearing the tip of its future before I’d have appreciated. At
that second of checking-out I wish to know that somebody lastly cleans
out the barrel at AARO, DoD and the remaining, and that full disclosure involves
the land. Requested by somebody just lately if I believed in UFOs. I stated, “Actually
not. I imagine in lots of issues as a result of I can’t know them based mostly on lack of
proof. I do KNOW issues although, and that transcends believing in them. I
know, full-well that UFOs are actual. They’ve been right here a very long time. I additionally
know I filmed one committing what would have been an act of battle by any
terrestrial adversary.
And revealing that one occasion has value me my honor, repute, a few
instructing jobs, an explosion in my mailbox, evil cellphone calls within the night time and
brooding anger on the pinheads who slander, defame, belittle, and deride
anybody who makes them quiver of their cubbyholes by difficult their
paradigm.
I can’t, nonetheless stand-by and allow them to defame and slander an American hero,
fighter pilot, take a look at pilot, photograph interpreter, then-Main Florenze J. Mansmann,
later Stanford Analysis Fellow, Physician Florenze J, Mansmann, PhD who examined
my movie frame-by-frame with a jewelers loupe and described in writing, in
element, the flying saucer-shaped UFO with a dome on high transferring into place
to fireplace beams of sunshine 4 occasions, hanging the reentry car.
Rattling you Sean Kirkpatrick, rattling you Timmy Phillips you cowardly scum. I knew
him effectively. You bozos didn’t. How dare you dismiss his verification of my
account based mostly on a mistake made by Kingston George. I can solely hope that the
preponderance of proof catches up with you someday and proves “what fools
you mortals be.”
