President Eisenhower Meets Extraterrestrials At
Holloman Air Force Base
President Dwight Eisenhower was said to have had three
meeting with Extraterrestrials during his presidency. The artist likeness of a
UFO and this story give the details of meeting that was held at Holloman Air
Force Base in February 1955. The sketch below was made by a mechanic after
a subsequent meeting that Eisenhower had with ETs in the summer of 1958.
Shortly after the US Air Force became a separate
branch of the service, Alamogordo Air Base became Holloman AFB in honour of
Colonel George V. Holloman, a pioneer in Air Force research and
development." The old Alamogordo airfield had been a training base for
heavy bombers. Then, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower was landing at Holloman.
It was a smooth landing as landings go. The big Lockheed Constellation in
passenger service in those days carried over 125 passengers, but there were
fewer than twenty aides and secret service men in the main cabin with the crew
of fourteen each at his station. At about 7,000 feet into the landing, Major
Bill Draper, the pilot, started reversing the engines, and the plane slowed
measurably and taxied to the end of the runway.
Air Force One taxied back up the runway about 75 yards and stopped. All engines
were shut down. There were probably 300 people with a vantage point, who saw
Air Force One land, and as it did, they called others to other windows, work
stations and vantage points. It must have seemed very eerie for the president's
plane to be seen sitting out there almost a half mile away, alone and quiet.
No red carpet, no band, no honour parade, just a few
horned meadowlarks calling in the distance. Eventually, the base workers
returned to their stations. And always the question was asked: Is Ike here?
What's going on? The civilians and military on the base had been told that
while the president was here, this would be a "business as usual"
day. A few minutes earlier, Col. Sharp, the base commander, and several
officers had gone to the base operations tower to see the president's plane
land.
The first communication they heard about 8:10 was "HOLLOMAN TOWER, THIS IS
AIR FORCE 7885 TEN MILES EAST OF MARYHILL."
They requested landing instructions, other traffic in the area, and base wind direction.
The runway they were assigned was the farthest away from the hangars and
workshops. It was obvious to base personnel that what was happening or going to
happen was as far away as it could be. Little could be seen unless one had a
vantage point and binoculars. Phones all over the base were very busy, many
questions were asked, is he still out on the runway?
But about ten minutes after the plane landed the radar officers gave
instructions to shut off all radar. He had turned base operations over to his
deputy base commander as long as the President was here. He felt it his duty to
be with him with no distractions.
