i'll believe he said this when I see a video of him saying it. Anti-gravity techology? maybe. Technology to travel to the stars? No.

I received Ben Rich's memoir book the other day, and skimmed through it. I can't say I've found anything that would reinforce his alleged statements, in the book.

Parts of it have been an interesting read though. (like when the plane was really called the RS-71, but because the President made a typo, they then went back and renamed it to the typo....SR-71)...rather than call the President out on it... Ahh...your tax dollars at work.

I thought the article was great and another gem people might want to look at for themselves in about 1/2 down the page in a video.

At about 18:15 he refers to a pic on his wall of an asteroid saying it had passed between the earth and the moon 5 years earlier (from the date of that interview I assume) and that the next pass would be in 2029 and then again in 2036 at which time it had been discovered that it would be in a path to collide with Earth somewhere between Siberia and Africa. I honestly think this guy knows his #! Just a feeling.

Now I could ask him for you since he is on Pegasus's contact list... but then it would still only be hearsay

If you want to go for it.
I emailed him but haven't gotten a response.

Sounds like another old guy trying to make a claim to fame since their going to die.

Its sad to see a great man become a coward before death and spread disinformation in the hopes of fame and fortune for his loved ones. Clearly once he died there was no more pension checks for loved ones so I wonder how much he got payed for this?

I havent seen anyone trace his finances for that period of time to determine why he is lying.


All in all its just a plea for attention in death which is sad coming from someone who was once respected and trusted with national secrets. Then again I guess people just get old and start to lose it like most old people.

A pretty negative point to be made in a thread that died months ago...just sayin...
