My stepfather is a recently retired senior Engineer that worked many many years at Lockheed Martin, now handing down the torch to a younger generation of Engineers.
I recall him visiting work At skunkworks in California, facilities in Alabama and Orlando and that he worked on weapon systems which more than that he couldn’t talk about.
For the past year, occasionally at family gatherings I”d playfully ask. Have you ever seen an alien? The next family gathering I would ask did you ever see a ufo? He quickly switched to a conversation that some pilots he spoke to talked about UAPs. At the next family gathering I asked, Did you ever work on reverse engineering technology based on ufos in the possession of your company? He really just giggled these questions off or switched the subject. As he walks away after the last question I yelled out “If you didn’t work directly with them I bet you sure new about it or heard rumors”!
Anyhow, I sent him the recent Jeremy Corbell article from liberation times and he respond with “All speculation, nothing concrete. I know nothing!!
At first I thought it was sarcasm, which you know you can’t always tell a tone through text. But if it wasn’t sarcasm it’s something he has to say or is trained to say based on that which he can never speak of.
Which he will never say anything based on security clearances and company NDAs and his is a man very loyal to that and his company.
Imagine having a career where you take your secrets to the grave, not every speaking to your friends or family members about the world altering secrets that you know or else. I think the aerospace companies are becoming very nervous right about now.
Whenever I am visiting and I grab a soda or a water from the outdoor garage fridge. I see his retired Lockheed laboratory coat hanging there in the garage, wondering what it has seen and the halls and subterranean depths it’s been down.
There is no real moral to my story. I just wanted to share how uncomfortable it feels to perhaps have people in your life with possibly more situational awareness to this topic than you and that you won’t ever hear it from them. Just know that I tried.
P.S The father of my child is a United States Air Force Intelligence officer who’s last duty station was Eglin Air Force Base, but that’s a story for another time.
