REVERSE ENGINEERING and ALIEN ASTRONAUTICS
By William Hamilton III
The alleged recovery of a flying disk near
Alien astronautics is a subject predicated on
the existence of intelligent alien life forms whose evolution occurred on an
extraterrestrial world and who developed means to travel from their world to
other worlds in spacecraft. Reverse engineering is predicated on the fact that
we have acquired alien hardware through flight systems failure of an alien
spacecraft or through communication and negotiation. Reverse engineering of
mechanical parts requires extraction of information about an instance of a
particular part sufficient to replicate the part using appropriate fabrication
techniques.
A human-fabricated spacecraft consists of many
sub-systems integrated through various operational parameters. Our first search
in the case of an alien spacecraft would be for recognizable systems and parts;
foremost among these would be some sort of propulsion system.
The most prominent UFO crash-retrieval case,
of course, is the Roswell case, but other UFO crash events have been reported,
and a few investigated to lend support to the idea that some UFOs have
malfunctioned and crash-landed on earth despite advanced technology. Some of
our most advanced aircraft, including the F-117A stealth fighter, have
malfunctioned and crashed. Sensitive electronic systems when exposed to sources
of electromagnetic radiation have been known to fail or receive anomalous
signals that caused the system to malfunction. It is not inconceivable that
alien technology could have vulnerable sensitive systems, especially when
operating in foreign environments.
The first objective in the military recovery
of foreign vehicles is to examine the vehicle for new and advanced technology with
a view toward reproducing that technology through devising methods of
fabrication and manufacturing. If this technology comes from another off-world
culture, the objective has an even higher priority as such a culture has
demonstrated a feat beyond the capability of our own technology. The military
thinking on this is to treat such incursions by alien technology as possibly
hostile and a threat to our national and global security. We must act to even
the odds as soon as possible to develop counter-measures to a possible military
threat to our systems of defense. This is why reverse engineering becomes
imperative.
Some of the systems that would be studied include:
• The energy or fuel the spacecraft uses for
power
• The propulsion system
• The navigation system
• The information system(s)
• The life-support systems
• The communication systems
• The weapon systems
In addition to these systems, the actual
material structure of the spacecraft would be studied. If the aliens were found
wearing flight suits, a study would be made of the material and methods of
fabrication. If the spacecraft were able to defend itself through high-speed
aerobatic maneuvering or using defensive shields or counter-measures, an
assessment of these capabilities would be of prime importance. The study would
have to eventually extend into other scientific fields to obtain a broader
picture of the alien’s origin and mission, which would include autopsies of
alien bodies and a profiling of the alien psychology and motivation. In fact,
every clever way that you could think of would be used to study the alien and
the technology. And all of this would have to be conducted in utmost secrecy so
as to maintain a decided advantage in the scheme of things in the global
political arena.
Reverse Engineering is the process of
figuring out how a system was made without having instructions or diagrams.
Unless the system is very complex, it is often possible to do this without
actually having a sample of the system. Some of the engineering disciplines
that exist today that would engage in reverse engineering are culled from a
list:

Additionally, unknown systems that may enhance
alien psionic interfaces or alien teleportation systems may not even be
conceived of within our own technological framework. Some of these systems may
be less amenable to reverse engineering until the time we make appropriate
scientific discoveries. First, a word about reverse engineering and then we
will examine some of the claims that have been made and what we can infer about
the evolution of our own technology based on testimony given by a number of
sources some of which still prefer to remain anonymous. We must also understand
how secret projects are classified and conducted in the Black World.
What distinguishes ‘reverse engineering’ from
forward engineering? In a sense most engineering starts as reverse engineering
as inventors puzzled out how to imitate nature. Some of the first designs for flying
machines imitated the flapping wings of birds to obtain lift. Nature is a large
inspiration to engineers and inventors. Science may try to wrest the secrets of
nature, but it is engineering that attempts to imitate or even surpass the
works of nature. We mustn’t forget that termites and moles have constructed
underground structures and beavers have built dams. Certain fish propel
themselves through water using jet propulsion. As soon as science uncovers more
secrets, engineers attempt to put them to use. Forward engineering proceeds
from there and attempts to improve on the original inspired work.
In a sense, the arguments against reverse
engineering alien technology are similar to the arguments against ancient
astronauts engineering ancient buildings. Essentially that argument is that
humans are and were smart enough to conceive, design, and build all the
technological wonders that we enjoy. While this may be true we must bear in
mind my former statement that much of what man has built is inspired by his
observations of nature. We are not discrediting man’s accomplishments by saying
that certain technological developments may have been inspired by other
preceding technological developments, whether human or alien.
The tales of reverse engineering alien
technology are based on the reports of UFO crashes and military recovery
efforts. Here is a partial list of UFO crashes that have been uncovered from
the years 1947 through 1953:

A
friend of mine met Charlie in a photocopy shop in the summer of 94. Charlie was contacting OMNI magazine
about their article on the UFO cover up.
I met Charlie later after writing a letter to him that he never received. Instead, I received a reply from a veteran's
organization that warned me not to contact Charlie anymore. According to the letter of reply the subject
of UFOs was classified permanently. It
also stated that UFOs and aliens should be the responsibility of the military
and that civilians had no business delving into military secrets. Nevertheless, Charlie contacted me later
through our local MUFON group.
Charlie had
been in the Marines and aboard the U.S.S. Oriskany aircraft carrier in 1958 during
the early
According
to Charlie, this disk was 10 meters in diameter and lighter than a
Volkswagen. It had a crew of two
aliens. The recovery team transported
the disc back to the Oriskany where it was stored on the flight deck between mattresses
that were used to cushion the craft on deck.
A tarpaulin was thrown over the disc and when the Oriskany put into port
in
Charlie
explains that not all UFOs or discs are from another planet. Some are from a parallel world. These parallel worlds exist in another time
dimension. It's as if our universe runs
on the beat on one clock and another on the beat of another clock. Normally, the two are out of phase and there
is no interaction between universes, but, occasionally, there are locations
where the two universes synchro-phase and a portal opens up between the two
allowing passage from one to another.
Many discs originate from another dimension and use a transpatial field
resonator to bridge the gap between their universe and ours.
The aliens
project their thoughts into a thought amplifier plate that carries signals to
the avionics controls via optical fibers.
Another saucer scientist, Bill Uhouse of
On September 23, 1990 I was
introduced to a man named Ozzie who related a detailed story of his
participation in two crash-retrievals while he was in the Army stationed at
One night
in 1948 he was called out of his barracks to climb aboard a bus that looked
like an old school bus with darkened windows.
After hours of riding through the desert on a generally westward course,
the bus came to a stop during the very early hours of the morning and he could
see a disk standing on the desert sands illuminated by floodlights. It was like a movie set, but there were no
movie cameras or directors barking orders.
The disk was silvery and about 30 feet in diameter. He learned that two aliens were recovered
from the disk. One was alive. White-coated doctors walked the live alien
around the site. It lived for 12
hours. The disk had one compartment with
a shaft running up the center of the compartment. The exterior hull of the craft felt smooth
and slippery to the touch. Ozzie said that
only 3 men lifted the lightweight craft onto a flat bed truck. Men went ahead and scouted a back roads
transport of the truck away from the site.
Ozzie accompanied a scientist who caravanned along the back roads until
they reached their ultimate destination at a little auxiliary airfield on the
edge of
The whole
recovery team was taken into a room in another one of the buildings and
debriefed. Ozzie saw pictures on the
wall of the room that depicted six different types of aliens. He remembers that one of the aliens looked
human. Short grays were also in one of
the pictures. He did not say whether
these were photos or drawings, but he called them pictures so I assume they
were photos. At one point during the
debriefing, a small alien appeared to pass through one of the walls of the
room. He was holding a small black box
that Ozzie called an "augmenter."
Ozzie made
some interesting detailed observations, but it is admitted that his story has
bizarre elements to it. But, when we
compare some of these bizarre elements to stories told by abductees they seem
less bizarre by far. We find it hard to
believe that the military had such a high degree of involvement with aliens as
early as 1948.
Ozzie
claims that he was called out on a second retrieval in 1949 at close to the
same site as the first retrieval. The
second disk was 100 feet in diameter and ten dead crew were found at the site. Their skin had turned a purplish color. These beings were about 5' 8" in
height. Ozzie had to carry one of the
aliens and estimated its weight at only 55 pounds. He was very emotional about this
incident. The aliens were dressed in
one-piece coveralls that have a Velcro-type fastener at the back. Of course, velcro-type fasteners did not
exist in 1949 and Ozzie is only comparing what he saw to what we know
today. The big disk had a conveyor on
the floor that transported the crew from one control center to another. There was also an instrument that contained
colored fluids. A central column ran
through the center of the craft, which had multiple rectangular
compartments. When inside the control
room of the craft, Ozzie said you could plainly see through the sidewall of the
craft and the desert was plainly visible even at night. The metal of the craft could not be marred
with any of our tools. This disk was
also transported to the site at
That ended Ozzie's
involvement in crash-retrievals though he has kept in contact with others he
had met during his involvement. He also
claims that he has a photo of the second retrieval locked in a vault for
safekeeping. He does not know when it
might become safe enough to bring out this photo as evidence. So we are left with another story and no
corroborating evidence, but a pattern begins to emerge from the details as we
talk to other witnesses.
A man named
Frenchie was stationed at Edwards AFB in 1951 when he was called out of his
barracks along with others because something had crashed just south of the air
base. When he got to the site, he was
not allowed to get any closer than an outer established security perimeter, but
could see men lifting up large chunks of metal.
Sheets of metal were all over the crash site, but no engine or fuselage
was visible. Frenchie said they had to
cut out a piece of a C-47 to enlarge its door to fit a large piece of the
retrieved material into the plane for transport. The large piece was lightweight and was
lifted by two men. Frenchie never found
out what the object was.
A lot of
this crash debris was supposedly transported to the Air Material Command at
Wright Field. However, craft recovered
in one piece were probably shipped elsewhere, perhaps
There are more reports that can be added to
the list up to the present year. However, investigators have obtained little
information on most of these, little to no corroboration by multiple witnesses,
and questionable physical evidence. Yet the stories persist and the list has
gotten longer over the years. The
The military agenda for recovered alien
vehicles was to learn as much as possible about the technology. To do this,
they had to turn to the experts in corporate
The engineering of secret technology to
satisfy DOD requests is conducted under a classified umbrella of programs and
projects, the most secretive of which are known as Special Access Programs.
There are even unacknowledged SAPs. This is what has been referred to as The
Black World. Lockheed Skunkworks developed the U-2 and SR-71 spy planes in the
Black World.
The money for financing these projects is part
of a black military budget that recently exceeded $14 billion. This does not
include the cost of operations and construction. Two of our famous stealth
aircraft, the B-2 and the F-117 were born in the Black World, but have become a
part of the white world. The existence of the so-called
The back engineering of alien space technology
would probably rank as the deepest Black World project in terms of secrecy and
security. It also carries with it a natural cloak of security—it sounds too
incredible to be true. Many would not believe it without an overwhelming
presentation of evidence, and, yet the intense security surrounding these
projects makes it nearly impossible to obtain that evidence. Researchers have
attempted to obtain what little evidence they can from testimony, leaked
documents, and direct observations of secret sites outside the security
perimeters of these sites.
With the handicap of limited disclosure we can
still try to reconstruct an overview for alien astronautical systems and, from
this, learn something about the aliens who developed this artful handiwork.
In 1997 (Ret) Colonel Philip J. Corso’s book
hit the UFO book market with a splash. The Day After Roswell contained some
eye-opening revelations. The Colonel divulges how he spearheaded the Army’s
super secret reverse-engineering project that “seeded” extraterrestrial
technology at American corporations such as IBM, Hughes Aircraft, Bell Labs,
and Dow Corning - without their knowledge. He describes the devices found
aboard the Roswell craft, and how they became the precursors for today’s
integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, night-vision equipment,
super-tenacity fibers (such as Kevlar plastic armor), and classified
discoveries, such as psychotropic devices that can translate human thoughts
into signals that control machinery, Stealth aircraft technology, and Star Wars
particle-beam devices. He also discusses the role that extraterrestrial
technology played in shaping geopolitical policy and events; how it helped the
United States surpass the Russians in space; spurred elaborate Army initiatives
such as SDI (Star Wars Projects), Project Horizon (to place a military base on
the Moon), and HARP; and ultimately brought about the end of the Cold War.
Colonel Corso also said that captured UFOs
were/are kept at Norton, Edwards and Nellis (Area 51) Air Force Bases.
Many UFO researchers have
found discrepancies in Colonel Corso’s accounts and have discarded his testimony
as authentication of reverse engineering.
If they are right, it doesn’t negate the possibility of reverse
engineering, but it does emphasize the minefield that this subject presents to
those who are trying to ferret out the truth about our black world
efforts.
In 1989, Robert Lazar had come forward with
the claim that he had worked on a reverse engineering project at S-4, a site 10
miles from the
Others have spoken out as witnesses to
captured UFOs or reverse engineering projects.
The case of the Kingman UFO retrieval involved
an engineer who took preliminary measurements to assess the momentum of a
crashing craft, measurements useful to any reverse engineering efforts. The
engineer who brought this story to light was Arthur G. Stancil (previously
known by the pseudonym Fritz Werner). Stancil graduated from
Stancil was loaned out to the Atomic Energy
Commission and was designated as a project engineer on some atomic bomb tests
referred to as “Operation Upshot Knothole”. The location of these tests was at
Frenchman’s Flats at the southern end of the Nevada Test Site. The test
director was a Dr. Ed Doll.
On May 21, 1953 Stancil was told to report for
a special assignment at the Indian Springs Air Force Base where 15 other
specialists joined him. They were flown by military plane to
Stancil was escorted to the site by military
police. Two spotlights illuminated the saucer, which appeared to be two convex
plates inverted over each other, approximately 30 feet in diameter. The saucer
was embedded in the sand about 20 inches. From this Stancil had determined that
the saucer crashed at a velocity of 100 knots yet it had not dents, marks, or
scratches on its burnished aluminum surface. The disc was oval and looked like
two deep saucers inverted over each other. It was constructed of dull silver
metal like brushed aluminum. Another specialist had gotten a look inside the
craft, as a 1.5 x 3.5 foot hatch was open revealing an oval interior cabin with
two swivel seats and many instruments. Stancil saw one body recovered from the
crash. It was humanoid, about 4 feet tall, with brown skin and wearing a
silver-metallic flight suit.
Stancil worked for Raytheon in
Bill Uhouse
served 10 years in the Marine Corps as a fighter pilot, and four years with the
Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB as a civilian doing flight-testing of exotic
experimental aircraft. Later, for the next 30 years, he worked for defense
contractors as an engineer of antigravity propulsion systems: on flight
simulators for exotic aircraft - and on actual flying discs.
He testifies
that that the first disc they tested was the re-engineered ET craft that
crashed in Kingman, Arizona in 1953. He further testifies that the ET’s
presented a craft to the
Mr. Uhouse’s specialty
was the flight deck and the instruments on the flight deck - he understood the
gravitational field and what it took to get people trained to experience
antigravity. He actually met several times with an ET that helped the
physicists and engineers with the engineering of the craft.
Strange as it seems it was during the 1950s
that various aircraft companies started research projects on the control of
gravity and electro-gravitational propulsion. It is possible that these projects
constituted some of the first reverse engineering projects on extraterrestrial
propulsion systems.
American physicist and inventor, T. Townsend Brown discovered an
effect of highly charged disk-shaped capacitors. When the capacitors were
charged in excess of 50 KV, they would have a tendency to accelerate in the
direction of the positive pole. Suspending a number of these disk capacitors
from a freely rotating carousel would cause, when charged, the entire assembly
to rotate. These charged capacitors could also levitate.
According to the Air Force Manual from
Wright-Patterson AFB on Electrogravitics we have this description on the Thomas
Townsend Brown discovery.
Electrogravitics might be described as a
synthesis of electrostatic energy used for propulsion - either vertical
propulsion or horizontal or both - and gravitics, or dynamic counterbary, in which
energy is also used to set up a local gravitational force independent of the
earth’s.
Electrostatic energy for propulsion has been
predicted as a possible means of propulsion in space when the thrust from a
neutron motor or ion motor would be sufficient in a dragless environment to
produce astronomical velocities. But the ion motor is not strictly a part of
the science of electrogravitics, since barycentric control in an
electrogravitics system is envisaged for a vehicle operating within the earth’s
environment and it is not seen initially for space application. Probably large
scale space operations would have to await the full development of
electrogravitics to enable large pieces of equipment to be moved out of the
region of the earth’s strongest gravity effects. So, though electrostatic
motors were thought of in 1925, electrogravitics had its birth after the War,
when Townsend Brown sought to improve on the various proposals that then
existed for electrostatic motors sufficiently to produce some visible
manifestation of sustained motion. Whereas earlier electrostatic tests were
essentially pure research, Brown’s rigs were aimed from the outset at producing
a flying article. As a private venture he produced evidence of motion using
condensers in a couple of saucers suspended by arms rotating round a central
tower with input running down the arms. The massive-k situation was summarized
subsequently in a report, Project Winterhaven, in 1952. Using the data some
conclusions were arrived at that might be expected from ten or more years of
intensive development - similar to that, for instance, applied to the turbine
engine. Using a number of assumptions as to the nature of gravity, the report
postulated a saucer as the basis of a possible interceptor with Mach 3
capability. Creation of a local gravitational system would confer upon the
fighter the sharp-edged changes of direction typical of motion in space.
The essence of electrogravitics thrust is the
use of a very strong positive charge on one side of the vehicle and a negative
on the other. The core of the motor is a condenser and the ability of the
condenser to hold its charge (the k-number) is the yardstick of performance.
With air as 1, current dielectrical materials can yield 6 and use of barium aluminate
can raise this considerably, barium titanium oxide (a baked ceramic) can offer
6,000 and there is promise of 30,000, which would be sufficient for supersonic
speed.
