Elite Corps of Astronauts to both gather intelligence and defend national interests.
To enjoy a documentary of this program click HERE. On December 10, 1963, the United States announced plans to build the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a military space station designated for scientific research. The MOL's covert mission, however, was to enable astronaut spies to take better and more detailed photographs of the Soviet Union and its allies than ever before. The Corona satellites in use in the early 1960s were not sophisticated enough to seek out and zoom in on specified targets. But as computerized reconnaissance technology improved, the need for an expensive manned mission receded. The United States finally abandoned the MOL program in June 1969, one month before NASA's Apollo 11 landed the first men on the moon. The program is still considered as classified since weapons,surveillance,technology, and research were involved. Program staff openly discuss this in the documentary, as the public currently needs to be made aware for future awareness of emerging technologies. The next step if you will. MOL Group 1: Formed November 1965 Michael J. Adams (Air Force, left MOL shortly after selection) Albert H. Crews Jr. (Air Force) John L. Finley (Navy, left MOL prior to the program's cancellation) Richard E. Lawyer (Air Force) Lachlan Macleay (Air Force) Francis G. Neubeck (Air Force) James M. Taylor (Air Force) Richard H. Truly (Navy) MOL Group 2: Formed June 1966 Karol J. Bobko (Air Force) Robert L. Crippen (Navy) Charles G. Fullerton (Air Force) Henry W. Hartsfield Jr. (Air Force) Robert F. Overmyer (Marine Corps) MOL Group 3: Formed June 1967 James A. Abrahamson (Air Force) Robert T. Herres (Air Force) Robert H. Lawrence Jr. (Air Force) Donald H. Peterson (Air Force) |

A flight mission patch...notice the 5 Grouped Stars and 1 on it's own.
I will let you figure that one out for yourselves, but it speaks to the flight teams base of operations. |

Did you work on any of these projects yourself Israel?

Interesting and entertaining documentary!
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Operations Group Jacket Patch at Groom Lake. The five white stars and one purple star is a reference to the project's base of operations. The wrench and screwdriver are symbols for aircraft maintenance units and activities. There is also a red star in the bird's eye, which references classified squadrons such as the "Red Hats" and "Red Eagles," men responsible for flying purloined Soviet MiGs. Green footprints on the cloud symbolize the "Ghost Squadron" search and rescue team. Lightning coming from the cloud spells out the letters "EW" for "electronic warfare" and represents EW test units and activities at the base. The red-and-white and blue-and-white streamers on either side of the bird reference the colors of the Janet planes. Penser hors limites is French for "Imagination without boundaries," or "To think beyond the boundaries." |

My first exposure to any such project was at White Sands Missle Range, NM. I was present for the STS-3 Columbia landing there as well. I post certain things to honour unspoken heroes and their missions. Everything I have shared or will ever share is declassified, but rarely seen by the public at large. For example the below book in pdf format was released by NASA just yesterday. The title alone should draw attention. Please note the book is not for sale and is meant for free use by any and all interested parties, per the authors and NASA Staff. Anthropology & Interstellar Communication Addressing a field that has been dominated by astronomers, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, the contributors to this collection raise questions that may have been overlooked by physical scientists about the ease of establishing meaningful communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. Some contributors chose to remain anonymous. Scholars and engineers grapple with enormous challenges that will face humanity if an information-rich signal emanating from another world is detected. By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come. I'm of the understanding that it will be pulled sometime in the future. Print or save and read at your leisure. I thank you for your time and interest. Happy reading. |

We have materials that have electro-responsive properties
that can not only transmit signals and data within the craft for flight control, but also for communication with the ground. The material can also flex and change it's shape. It's called "geometrical dynamics" (shape shifting). There are issues with structural integrity as to flight at extreme velocities, but the trade off is reduced drag and increased fuel efficiency. Why is this information released? To provide the basis for funding of research and development and to set itself apart from competitors. At the end of the video Mother Ships with Scout Craft technology is discussed. Basically a central Artifical Intelligence Unit monitors the entire field of operations and makes decisions as to how best approach a specific scenario, autonomous of humans if needed. Here is an extended lecture on the technology if anyone is interested. Filmed at an engineer's symposium. The lecture served as a recruiting tool, if you will. |

A fun informative trip aboard the I.S.S.
The pitch blackness of space should give everyone an eerie odd feeling of unease. The below link is a live feed aboard the space station. The feed is down when the crew is on duty. LIVE FEED. Recorded Feed |

Coming soon to a theatre near you!
Some of us call it "The Flying Dorito." Wind tunnel test setup You can see the contrails of the refueler above. Watch for the Shadow just below the clouds at the very end of the video. 'Outing' the competition is fair game once it's in the gray stage(daylight flights). |
