Big Money and UFOs - Part 6/6

This writer spent the night of November 19/20, 1980 on a friend's farm near Ashland, Missouri, trying to find the planet Pluto through an 8-inch telescope. This was unfortunate because around midnight a huge flying triangle, blasting along at about 40 mph, passed almost directly over my house. If I had been observing from my backyard that night/morning I could hardly have missed it. As it was, hundreds of people did NOT miss it and I have talked to many of them over the 15 years since.

At around 7 pm that evening two college students in Kirksville, Missouri, about 90 miles north of Columbia in the northeastern part of the state, were sitting in a parking lot on campus discussing the day's football game. They noticed a bright light to the east but did not think much of it, believing it to be an aircraft with its landing lights on. They observed the light for about half an hour as it slowly came closer. By about 7:40 pm the light was getting quite close and very, very bright. It dominated the sky even in the presence of a first quarter moon.

About 7:45 the lights (there were now two of them) and the object to which they were attached passed very near the Moon. The two students were shocked to see that the brilliant lamps high in the south were on the leading edge of a huge triangular shaped object moving slowly, oh so slowly, from east to west. They jumped into their cars and followed it across town, at no time going faster than about 40 mph. They easily kept up. When they reached their fraternity house they roused everyone inside and they all watched the object, now with two red lights visible on its trailing edge, fly majestically away to the west, at about 40-50 mph.

It seems that this object flew over 100 miles straight west to the vicinity of Princeton, Missouri, where it turned south and headed down highway 65 (passing over my home town of Carrollton) to Interstate 70. Then it turned east at an altitude of a few hundred feet and headed down the four lane highway, occasionally slowing traffic. Sometime between midnight and 1 a.m. it arrived at Columbia where it was witnessed by many, many people, including law enforcement officers, some of whom chased it to the east, all the way to Fulton, Missouri. Two policemen attempted to break into the University of Missouri observatory in order to get a better look at the object through the 16-inch telescope. But no one in the building at that time had a key or knew how to operate the telescope. This incident is mentioned briefly in Imbrogno's book [ ed. - Night Seige The Hudson Vallevy Sightings. Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Phillip Imbrogno with Bob Pratt, 1987] on the Hudson Valley flap of 1983-85.

Now, let's think about this. A large, strange flying object is seen by the public over the northeastern quadrant of Missouri. For more than seven hours it flies, unmolested, at low altitude, over heavily populated areas and major interstate highways. The Air Force has a base near Warrensburg, Missouri, 50 miles south of Carrollton, and they were called. No interception was made, at least none that I have ever heard of or been able to find. The FAA radar at Kirksvile had it on their screens early in the evening and the operator saw it visually at the same time. The witnesses I have talked to who kept the object in view for many minutes report that commercial airliners flew above the object on more than one occasion. It sailed serenely on its way.

Now this is amazingly similiar to what has been reported, on a much grander scale, just about 50 miles north of Manhatten in Westchester County, New York, along the Hudson River Valley and in the vicinity of the family homes of the wealthiest and most influential people in the United States and by extension the world. I have a friend who three years ago had reason to be in the corporate offices of a huge international firm whose U.S. headquarters were in Westchester County. He was there in an adversarial way and two of the firm's lawyers were there, too, making sure the files that were examined were the correct ones. Hour after hour this went on and the people involved struck up a casual acquaintanceship. What were these two lawyers talking about? UFOs. It seems that the mother of one of them had called her son to her home the night before because of the overflight, at very low altitude, of the Westchester Wing.

Get a map and look at the area involved. The Rockefeller family estate of Pocantico is right there, smack in the middle of it. Nearby, too, is West Point, as is the former Stuart Air Force Base. Interesting, isn't it? And interesting, too, is the fact that the most important economic development in recent years has been the development of the E.E.C. [ed. - European Economic Community] and its headquarters in, er, well, er, Belgium. . .where the Westchester Wing has been flying, too, for several years, just as the Green Fireballs flew over Los Alamos back in the late 1940s.

Is it just coincidence that big money began to flow into UFO research, surreptitiously, in the late 1980s? I don't think so. The Wing flew over my house but, so what, what can I do about it?

Not very much. . .write a few articles. But when the Wing flies over the Rockefellers' houses, well, that's different. That's going to get some action -- of some kind.

We turn to Ferdinand Lundberg and his blockbuster 1937 book "America's Sixty Families", page 423:

"In surveying the residential seats of the Rockefeller family it is also difficult to know to which family one should assign each mansion and estate, as the Rockefellers are intermarried, as we have seen, with the Stillmans (CitiCorp), Carnegies (U.S. Steel), McCormicks (Chicago Tribune), Aldriches (old Colonial Connecticut family), Davisons (J.P. Morgan partner), Dodges (Phelps-Dodge Mines), and others. We will, however, concentrate on the two main Rockefeller lines of descent, observing first, however, that the Rockefeller publicity men, geniuses of a sort, have admirably suggested that this imperial family lives rather ascetically; seldom are descriptions of the Rockefeller residential interiors permitted to leak out, so that one must reconstruct them mentally from fragmentary suggestions just as a paleontologist reconstructs the framework of a dinosaur from a few scraps of bone.

"There is, first, the great family duchy of thirty-five hundred acres at Pocantico Hills, near Tarrytown, New York. (Now much enlarged and extended, VG) On this estate stand five separate family mansions, for as each child marries a house is constructed for separate occupancy. Like the Standard Oil Company, the estate has been assembled with guile and force against the will of neighbors. In Cleveland the Rockefellers had a town house on Euclid Avenue and a regal estate at Forest Hill, now turned into an expensive real-estate development; but in the 1890s the family moved to Pocantico Hills.

"This estate at the turn of the century comprised only about sixteen-hundred acres, which have since been added to by purchase and by persuasion. The first brush the elder Rockefeller had with the local authorities, who are now the family's most loyal servitors, was occasioned by his desire to have Tarrytown construct a road around the Croton reservoir, the property of New York City. This road would connect his home with that of his brother William, on the other side of the reservoir. Rockefeller proceeded in violation of the law to have the road built, even using hired roughnecks to drive local officials from the area.

"In 1929, Rockefeller, Jr., paid the town of Eastview $700,000 for the priviledge of ousting forty-six families so that the main line of the Putnam division of the New York Central Railroad might run along what was Eastview's main street instead of through the gradually swelling Pocantico Estate.

"The assessed evaluation of the Rockefeller demesne in 1928 was $5,588,050, calling for a tax of $137,000. According to the New York Times (May 24, 1937) the elder Rockefeller's fifty-room mansion at Pocantico, surrounded by fully nurtured gardens, alone cost $2,000,000 to build and $500,000 per year to maintain, while the estate requires the services of three hundred and fifty employees and thirty teams of horses the year round, making a monthly payroll of $18,000.

"From the New York Herald Tribune, also May 24, 1937:

"From the village of East View the estate extends northward three miles over soft, pleasant countryside to the boundaries of Ossining, where it joins the estate of the elder James Stillman, former president of the National City Bank (CitiCorp today, VG). At the southern tip of Pocantico on a high knoll stands the massive Georgian house of Mr. Rockefeller. It lies in the center of the estate's only enclosure area, 350 acres surrounded by a high fence with two gates. Thirty watchmen, twenty in the winter when the families are living in town, patrol the enclosure in eight hour shifts to keep out unwelcome visitors.

"There is also the William Rockefeller line of more than one hundred persons. More than fifty of his great-grandchildren will be millionaires by 1950. In all it can be estimated that the existing Rockefeller establishments, including the thirty-two thousand acre Adirondak estate of William, have a total valuation of $50,000,000 to $75,000,000."

And this was in 1937!!! Multiply that by at least fifteen today, and that doesn't count the pure additions made since then!

Now, beginning on page 375 of the same book is Lundberg's analysis of who controls the agenda at a few of America's better colleges and universities, sites of Internet nodes today:
