1969

In the Fall of 1969 likely October or September of that year there was a UFO Conference with Dr. Hynek Speaking at Giant rock Airport where pilots flew in their private planes from all over the U.S. and world for this conference. The Airport I believe was still owned by Van Tassell who I also met not at that time but when my father and I bought and old Jaw crusher from him for our Mining Mill in 29 palms then. We had claims in the Virginia Dale Mining District near 29 Palms and also in Arizona where my father had helped operate his Aunts Mine there when he was 18 years old in 1934 just out of high school. It was in the Gila Bend, district of Arizona and his Aunt Beulah lived in Flagstaff, Arizona with her husband and children. She was my father's mother's sister from Texas where the three sisters had grown up originally. So, for awhile (a summer or more) my father was on one of his first real adventures helping a relative operate a mine in Arizona.

The UFO conference was interesting but I was also 21 and brought 4 of my friends who weren't really serious about all this but were more on a lark with me going there from where we all lived then in Venice, California which I suppose was a Los Angeles Version of Haight Ashbury in San Francisco, I suppose then. I only lived in Venice for about 3 months because it just got too crazy for me to stay there any longer. I had never seen any of the things I saw there while there for 3 months before. So, leaving was a good thing for me after 3 months so I could return to college after working there as an electrician while I was there with an apartment near Venice pier on the ocean.

When I recently went to a UFO conference in Ventura, California, it was the first one I had been to since 1969 and I was amazed how different people were at the one in 2019 compared to the one in 1969. My point of view would be that people in 1969 were much more practical about all this then and not just so "into their heads" sort of like a cult like they were at this conference. The UFO conference sort of felt like to me that it was a new cult or religion forming around all this and I wasn't sure how I felt about all this.

It would be sort of like having a cult like situation like you have around Trump only around secret space travel by people here on earth and other planets to where most people on earth really have no idea all this is actually going on.

So, my thought at the time was the 2019 UFO conference was actually a recruitment tool for the Air Force Space Force that Trump is starting formally now but has been going on "informally" at the very least since the U.S. Started colonizing other planets around 1969 when we went to the moon.

The Government has kept all this secret because so many people have died doing all this and so they found it better to keep it just secret within the military of the U.S. and other countries that colonize other planets like Russia and China have done the same.
