In 1968, during a mission near the Cambodian border, a group of US Special Forces encountered something extraordinary. While on a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP), they witnessed a mysterious object crash nearby. This event marked the beginning of a series of unusual experiences involving unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and their recovery.
The patrol was mapping supply routes when a bright, red-orange object appeared in the sky. It moved quickly, disappearing in a flash before crashing with a loud thump. Initially, the team thought it might be a US aircraft, but upon reaching the crash site, they realized it was something entirely different.
The object resembled a giant metal egg, cracked open upon impact. It was made from a seamless, dull gray metal, unlike any known aircraft. The site was hot, and the team couldn’t see inside due to the surrounding fire. Unsure of what they had found, they secured the area and awaited further instructions.
Shortly after reporting the crash, military aircraft arrived to secure the site. The first helicopters brought infantry, but they were kept at a distance. Over the next few days, the object was extracted from the jungle. The team was quickly replaced by other special operations forces, indicating the importance of the find.
The team learned that these mysterious objects were often attracted to conflict zones. A secret program, established during the Korean War, was dedicated to studying and recovering such objects. Initially, the team believed the object was a space probe, but further briefings revealed it was something more.
As the team became more involved in the program, they discovered that these crafts were not from Earth. The objects were tracked entering and exiting the atmosphere, and their advanced technology puzzled experts. Some crafts were thought to be remotely operated, while others contained beings that resembled biological drones.
In one incident, the team recovered two living beings from a crashed craft. These beings were unresponsive and lacked typical biological features. The team theorized that they were created for specific tasks, possibly as biological constructs or advanced technology.
The program encouraged discussions among senior personnel to share insights. Some believed the crafts were produced within our solar system, possibly as a way to share technology without disrupting human development. Despite the mystery, the beings and crafts were not considered a threat.
The mystery of these UFOs and their occupants remains unsolved. While their intentions are unclear, the lack of recovery efforts for downed crafts suggests a different motive. Perhaps they are offering technology or have plans for humanity that are yet to be revealed. Only time will tell what the future holds.

**Sanitized Transcript:**
Note: The following is based on testimony provided over a series of interviews and written correspondence, edited and cut together in an attempt to create a cohesive timeline of the events as described.
It was 1968, and somewhere along the Cambodian border, we were getting the lay of the land on a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP), tracking supply routes into South Vietnam along Cambodia and mapping them out for future operations. Suddenly, an object appeared overhead, a bright red-orange glow, and it looked like it was melting. Only some of us looked up in time, and we got a brief glimpse through the tree cover. It was over our heads and gone in a flash. A few seconds later, there was a loud crash and a dull thump that you could feel through the ground, indicating it had fallen somewhere nearby. We initially thought it was a US plane, but I couldn’t tell you what it looked like when it was plummeting overhead; it was just too fast.
We were close enough to the northern border that we knew better than to use our long-range radios openly. The Soviets had sent their own special forces advisors armed with electronic snooping gear, and if they were nearby, they could pinpoint our location accurately. We decided to hold off on the radios until we reached the crash site and could request extraction.
It turned out the crash site was further than we thought, a good three to four miles through difficult terrain. When we arrived, it was immediately obvious that this wasn’t a US plane or anything we recognized. Our Captain, who had been in the intelligence community for a while, suspected it was something made in the US that the public still doesn’t know about, but nothing like this.
The craft resembled a giant metal egg that had cracked open upon impact. The entire scene was incredibly warm, and I initially thought it was a crashed space capsule, possibly Soviet, since we were in their territory. However, it was dull gray and appeared to be made from a single piece of metal; there were no seams or bolts. I couldn’t see inside well due to the fire around it, and I couldn’t tell if there were any occupants.
We reported ourselves on-scene and were surprised to learn that aircraft were already en route. We were instructed to secure the site, which we did while hoping the jungle wouldn’t catch fire. The first aircraft overhead was a pair of F4s, which quickly settled into an orbit. This indicated that the situation was serious; we honestly didn’t know what this object was at the time. Most of us thought it was either a NASA or Soviet craft.
The first helicopters to arrive were Hueys, full of infantry, but they were kept away from the craft. It took a couple of days to extract the object from the jungle, and there was a clear need to secure the site due to its proximity to the border. We were quickly extracted, and other special operations forces arrived to work closer to the craft, along with some Air Force and Navy personnel. I later learned they were already briefed on the classified program related to this incident.
We had learned from previous conflicts that these objects are attracted to areas of conflict. The program was established during the Korean War, and it continued to evolve. Most of us believed this was just some space probe or something similar; they could have told us that and let us go without a second thought. However, they briefed us in a way that felt mandatory, and we had no choice but to comply.
The world was smaller back then, and the last thing you wanted was for your community and family to believe you were discharged dishonorably. They read us in only partially; we were told only what we needed to know. I didn’t realize these objects were from space until I actually saw a body, which confirmed some suspicions.
I know a lot of it, and I’m tired of keeping it to myself. If they did anything to me now, it would only validate the stories being told. Speaking of others who have come forward, I respect those who are cautious and follow procedures. It’s important to share information responsibly.
As for the truth of these claims, I can’t say for certain. Some of what I’ve heard aligns with my experiences, but I’ve been out of the loop for years, and things change. I believe there’s more truth than fiction in these accounts, especially regarding the involvement of aerospace contractors. However, disinformation is a real concern, and it’s not just about deceiving the public; other nations are also searching for information.
The government does not want the public focused on UFOs, as it complicates recovery efforts and maintaining secrecy. Back then, it wasn’t about fear of mass panic; it was about keeping sensitive material out of adversaries’ hands.
After being read in, I thought there would be some special club or recognition, but that wasn’t the case. We returned to regular duties, and our unit was broken up, which was detrimental to team cohesion. I know several members of my original team died in combat, and I suspect there were attempts to eliminate us.
About a year after the first crash, I was officially brought into the program. My primary role became related to these incidents, which didn’t happen often, but when they did, we were tasked with recovery. We managed to recover a few crafts, not just in Vietnam but in other regions as well.
The crafts themselves were extraordinary. I wasn’t present for every recovery, but I did see two collections of them. Many people assume they were stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but that would be the first place adversaries would look. We created distractions to mislead those who might be spying on us.
The real recovery sites were kept secret, and various defense contractors were involved. They would receive pieces of technology without knowing their origins. The technology was so advanced that it was difficult to determine its purpose.
The spacecraft were tracked entering and exiting our atmosphere, and while I suspect they are from space, I think there’s more to the story. There are different shapes and types of crafts reported, and the ones that crash are often smaller and possibly remotely operated.
The larger saucers were more resilient. I participated in the recovery of two saucers, and one incident involved significant destruction upon impact. Despite the damage, the craft itself remained relatively intact.
When we opened the saucer, it was like opening a fridge after a power outage. The craft was manned, but there were no signs of life when we accessed it. We often found that the beings we encountered didn’t resemble typical life forms; they lacked conventional digestive systems.
In one notable incident, we recovered two living beings from a craft that had made a hard landing. Witnesses reported a flash of light coinciding with a meteor event, which complicated our understanding of the situation. We worked closely with our allies to secure the site before any adversaries could intervene.
The beings we encountered were not injured but appeared unresponsive. Our protocols emphasized caution, and we approached the situation with care. The medical team examined them, but they did not react to stimuli.
We theorized that these beings were more like biological drones, created for specific tasks. They seemed to lack personal items or any indication of a typical living environment. Our understanding of their biology was limited, and we speculated about their purpose and origins.
The program encouraged discussion among senior personnel to share insights and theories. We believed that these beings might be biological constructs, created for specific missions. However, we also considered the possibility that they were simply advanced technology.
We had a theory that these crafts were being produced somewhere in our solar system, possibly using advanced manufacturing techniques. The idea was that they were intentionally left for us to find, perhaps as a way of sharing technology without disrupting our development.
I never felt these beings were a threat. Our security measures were primarily to keep others away from the crafts. There were instances where attempts to engage with them did not end well, but we believed they were not inherently hostile.
The phenomenon surrounding these crafts often caused confusion and altered perceptions. We developed techniques to help our teams maintain a sense of reality when encountering these objects.
As for their intentions, I cannot say for certain. Many of us believed they were not a threat, and the lack of recovery efforts for downed crafts suggested a different motive. Perhaps they were offering technology without causing disruption, or maybe they had plans for us that we were unaware of.
In conclusion, the mystery surrounding these crafts and their occupants remains. Only time will tell what the future holds.
