From: Matthew_Williams@empyr.dircon.co.uk (Matthew Williams) Subject: Brawdy RAF base, UK Date: 7 Dec 93 22:36:17 GMT Organization: Empyrion BBS - (Swansea, UK +44 (0)792 580781) SUBJECT: R.A.F. Base - BRAWDY, West Wales. Note: Some of this article is based on my speculation which I cannot myself prove, but put forward for investigation. In the Book "THE WELSH TRIANGLE" by Peter Pagent, talk is made of the Royal Air Force base at Brawdy in West Wales. He makes obseravtions of UFO's hovering/landing without authorisation in or near the base and entering or hovering about the sea nearby. The Author states that his sources state that and his own belief is that the Oceanographic Base owned by *AMERICANS* at Brawdy was infact a little more involved than it's description. He speculated that there were arrays of wires that led from Brawdy down to the Sea. He believed that the UFO's were interested in the purpose of the Base for the same reasons as he was... What was going on and what were these wires going down to the sea? Speculation was also that the Base had a Nulclear involvement in the capactity of hydrophonic sounding or listeneing out into the Atlantic. Due to the secrecy suurounding the bases activities it was not possible to confirm any of this at the time of writing the book. ***** This book was written some time ago, but I have kept an eye on the activities of this base in as much as he authorities have always played it down. Bawdy used to be a training centre for Jet Aircraft, Although is easily accessable by road, and viewable from Roads which run close to the base - secrecy still surrounds some of the things going on inside. (Such is the military eh? Also I have driven past the base once) I was suspicious by the way a couple of years ago that the Ministry of Defence announced that Brady was going to be closed! My eyes opened when I heard of this, partly because of what Pagent said in his book. (You will have to read the book!) My instinct was to not listen to this "shutting" or "scaling down stuff" ,instead I told a freind of mine who had an interest in the base like myself because of the previous UFO history. I bet my freind, that the base would not close and infact if there was an American interest inside which was not going to leave (which was still secret) then it was probably a play down attempt. I wanted very much to take a trip up this summer just to see what was going on, and if there was some sort of reason for playing the base down... I didn't get round to it unfourtunately (I wouldnt make a very good UFO investigator) but my gut feeling was that there may have been reason to visit now especially. ........... UP TO DATE: Yesterday on the 6th December 1993 on H.T.V (TV channel for Wales) in the news at 6.00PM there was a report about Brawdy. A Whale expert was needing recordings of Whalesong etc for his studies. Somehow either he got in touch with the Americans at Brawdy or, I think they actualy got in touch with HIM!!! The Americans supplied him with as much Whalesong as he could handle, also aditional data about the whales movement patterns. He was over the moon! Explination of where they got the material... Remote listening devices off the coast from Brawdy!!! ***I couldn't believe it. It gets better though!*** The reporter spoke to the Whale researcher who explained that in contacts he had made with Brawdy officals he had learned that the Sea Devices had been there for quite some time, since 1960 something I think was said! The Brawdy site was unique and ideal for such devices due to its open view out onto the atlantic. He was told by officals that listening for nuclear submarines or other vessels was the purpose, and that they could be tracked well out into the middle of the atlantic!!!!!! (wow!) Also the Americans who operated the equipment were in thier spare time using the equipment to follow the activities and locations of Whales out in this area, and on one occasion they used the gear to pick up sounds emminating from the Whale and were able to track it for 40 days by which time it had travelled to BERMUDA! ****This gear must be space-age-plus technology to be able to do this!**** Here is the clincher. The reporter then tried on many seperate occasions on many different levels to gain access to the base to talk to the engineers or officials about the interesting Whale stuff and perhaps see some of the equipment used. They didn't want to know him. Repeated attempts at even very low key discussions on the matter were refused. This did puzzle the reporter, but not to a great degree. (He wasn't seeing the full picture, even from the point of view of the submarine listening statiion point of view!) (Note: I cannot remeber if the reasearcher got access to the base. I think he did not. He was given the tapes and data by some other means.) Why not talk to the reporter? The secret (if it was really a big one anyhow?) was out! After all they had released the tapes to the researcher, along with other data. Why not speak to the reporter? I think they weren't sure what exactly the reporter was after and did not want to allow any access until the situation had been asessed. Perhaps this release of the Whalesong tapes was not sanctioned by the higher ranking officials??? Perhaps there is even more going on that they don't want disclosed! (remember me saying about my Play Down theory... Well this story would mean media attention. If this is the case, somebody is probably in a lot of trouble?) epilogue..... Very strange though isn't it. Equipment like that since the 1960's... Peter Pagent wasn't far wrong was he? This is my point- Peter Pagent was very close to the truth. It is a shame that until things come out officialy, the public won't accept them. Many UFO stories, reports and informers get so much hassle when they could be telling the facts straight! Still now, no member of the public has seen what goes on at the American "Ocean Reasearch!" (snigger!) facility as far as I am aware. Just another example of how it all comes out in the end... (could the base also be interested in tracking UFO's underwater? BERMUDA remember... BERMUDA... since the 1960's!!! 1960's!!! ) Comments please. I will be forwarding this to BUFORA on the NET due to it's British slant. /\/\atthew \/\/illiams EMAIL: Matthew_Williams@empyr.dircon.co.uk This has been a Quinn Martin Production! -- Via DLG Pro v0.995 ----------------------------------------------------------------- KILL STRAKER! ___/\___ " Salutations /________\ Great Buckaroo Matthew_Williams@empyr.dircon.co.uk _/ \_ Banzai!
