Top Secret Alien Abduction Files Force Base. For years, it operated as the US government’s very own UFO Central. Yep: Area 51, Nevada, hasn’t always owned the copyright on that puppy. The Roswell bodies, recovered alien technology, secret files on alien autopsies—the rumor mill is that they were all stored at Wright-Pat for decades before finally being shipped out to the Nevada desert. Or maybe deep below it, behind the closed doors of a fortified bunker (or several). Now, it’s time to return to what George Hunt Williamson knew about all this. As a result of having made contact with one allegedly learned soul from Ohio (or from the stars), and having read rumors of crashed UFOs stashed away at Wright-Patterson—chiefly those rumors contained in Frank Scully’s mighty but dubious tome of 1950, Behind the Flying Saucers— Hunrath, on his Kerouac-style trek to California, made a winding detour to Ohio and began asking all sorts of probing questions about flying saucers among Dayton’s scientific community. There was a method to Hunrath’s actions, even if it wasn’t overly obvious to some of those he grilled. The man of the hour was no fool. Hunrath, looking for an inroad to what officialdom really knew about UFOs, was well aware that if he shouted loud enough—in the one place on the map where the US government’s innermost secrets of the UFO kind were said to be held, and where his alleged alien doctor/buddy was hanging out—someone would surely sit up and take notice sometime soon. And particularly so when he spread rumors around Dayton that, as a result of his growing research into alien technology, he had successfully created his wacky, airplane-obliterating contraption—which, very oddly, Hunrath was now calling “Bosco,” after that mysterious intruder in the night. And Hunrath insisted on writing it in capitals: “BOSCO.” Yes, Hunrath was now spelling it with capitals, and he was talking about it as if it were some sort of machine-based, intelligent entity in its own right. But it was not alien aircraft—Hunrath told anyone and everyone in Dayton who would listen—that BOSCO was going to destroy. Not even Russian aircraft. It was Uncle Sam’s aircraft. And, said Hunrath, in an almost proud fashion, he could not care less if the US military’s planes fell like flies as a result of his actions. It was all, he believed, for the greater good
