Greetings, all. The saga of Art Bell's supposed Roswell UFO crash wreckage 
continues. There have been some recent developments some of you might be 
interested in. As you may recall, several weeks ago, an anonymous source sent
radio talk show host Art Bell some metallic debris which he claimed was 
wreckage from the Roswell area of New Mexico, circa 1947. The pieces were 
mailed from someplace in South Carolina.

Some pieces of the debris are very strange indeed. Some jagged fragments about 
a millimeter thick have now been examined in detail by an anonymous scientist 
who was contacted by investigative journalist - and Art Bell cohort - Linda 
Moulton Howe.

Ms. Howe reported on Sunday, the 7th of July, that initial testing of the 
sample was completed. The piece of metallic debris was examined using a 
technique called Wave Dispersive Spectroscopy. This technique allows precise 
measurement of material thickness, elemental composition, and purity.

The sample just inpsected is made up of alternating layers of pure bismuth,
and a magnesium-zinc alloy. The bismuth layers are one to 4 micrometers 
(microns) thick, while the mannesium-zinc layers are approximately 40 microns 
thick. I am going on memory of the Mg-Zn thickness, as Ms. Howe did not re-
iterate this in her most recent report. The Mg-Zn layers vary in composition 
from 95.5 to 97% magnesium and 2.5 to 3% zinc. There are approximately 50 
layers of this alternating material.

Ms. Howe has contacted approximately 50 scientists, including those from 
national laboratories, Sandia and Los Alamos included, as well as from private 
industries such as Dow Chemical, who is a major supplier of bismuth, and even 
the National Beaureau of Mines, in an attempt to identify what this layered 
material could be. No one she has spoken with at these institutions was able 
to shed any light as to the origin or possible function of such a material.

Until now...

Last week, on Sunday, June 30th, Ms. Howe was contacted by a person 
identifying himself only as "Dan", who claimed to be a scientist. Dan and 
Linda Howe then had several conversations regarding the strange, layered 
material over the ensuing few days. Dan told Ms. Howe that he had been 
recruited by the Air Force in 1973 for the specific purpose of reverse-
engineering "things of unknown origin". He said he did some "pretty exotic 
stuff" in the time period of 1973 to 1980, while he worked at the Aeronautical 
Systems Division at Wright-Patterson AFB in in Ohio. He also was assigned 
occasionally to do similar work at Edwards AFB in California. 

Dan was never told that what he was working on was from any kind of 
extraterrestrial craft, and he only assumed that it was from foreign captured 
military aircraft or something. But he did mention that in his work at Wright-
Pat, he was presented with a very similar material to that Art Bell was sent - 
the layered magnesium/bismuth substance. He said that that particular material 
"came in as an unknown, and went out as an unknown". However, he also 
mentioned that he had seen bismuth metal used in a sort of Biefield-Brown 
antigravity application (my association of terms). He guesses that what Art 
Bell has, and what Linda Howe has been trying to research, is exactly that: 
"an electrogravitic material". He went on to explain that bismuth is 
diamagnetic, which means it "repels" a magnetic field (I need to do a little 
research on diagmagnetics). He says that bismuth does "strange" things when 
a "positive electron field" is applied... Positive electrons??? Electrons are 
supposed to be negatively-charged, at least the ones I'm famillar with. 

Anyway, Dan says that the application of very high voltages to layered bismuth 
materials caused him to realize "dramatic findings". When Howe asked him what 
the most dramatic result of these experiments were, he told her "mass and 
weight loss - essentially, antigravity".

Then Howe asked him, "Did you ever see material rise into the air when subject 
to a strong voltage?" To which he replied, quickly, " I can't talk about 
that!"

Following Dan's contact on the phone with Linda Howe, on Friday afternoon, Dan 
was visited at his home by "three DIA (Defense Inteligence Agency) officials 
who arrived in a dark blue Chevrolet sedan. One stayed inside the vehicle, 
while the other two came to his door and rang the bell. They showed official 
DIA inentification, according to Dan, and asked if they could come in and talk 
to him. So, he let them in.

The agents wanted to know if he had been in touch with any journalists 
regarding "the work he did in the seventies". They then specifically mentioned 
Linda Howe by name. He told them yes, but he had not discussed any "state 
secrets". After very repetitive questioning, and some threats about how they 
could "arrest him without a warrant", they left. During the questioning, the 
layered magnesium/bismuth material was never mentioned. Dan says that it is as 
if the agents had not been briefed on the exact nature of his discussions with 
Linda Howe.

Dan then contacted Art Bell during his Friday (July 5th) radio program. Art 
told him his best bet was to go public, since he was scared (a la Bob Lazar).
Art then put him on the air early Saturday morning, and he told his story to 
the public.

Linda Howe said, on Sunday evening, that she had checked out his credentials. 
Dan apparently has a Bachelor's Degree in Physics, in Aeronautical 
Engineering, and in Computer Science, which he earned at Polytechnic State 
University in California. He also has Master's Degrees in Computer Science and 
Aerospace Engineering from the University of California at Berkely, and earned 
a Ph.D. in physics in 1974 after he was already working for the Air Force. So, 
on the surface, this guy LOOKS real...

Finally, it seems that Bell has received another communication from the source 
of these materials recently. BTW, this source says that his grandfather was on 
the recovery team in 1947, and was able to put some of the material in his 
pockets, and leave the area undetected. The source's grandfather died 
recently, and the material and a detailed diary which was stored in a closet 
was dug out, and the material sent on to Art Bell. In this most recent 
communication, Art was told that the layered material came from the "central 
underside of the wedge-shaped disk", and that it "radiated light for a full 
three hours". The source says that at the time of the recovery, it was 
"speculated that the material was some type of shielding to enable the craft 
and its crew to survive accelerated re-entry into the atmosphere when the 
craft experiences uncontrolled descent". Linda Howe continued the speculation 
by noting that if Bob Lazar's "Element 115" did really exist it would be 
loacted on the periodic table directly under the element bismuth. She also 
speculated that maybe what they have here is some "depleted Element 115", it 
having become bismuth following some type of natural decay, the emission of 
light perhaps being the indicator of said decay.

All for now, more if/when I hear anything.

Regards,

Chris
