Daniel Sheehan's UFO photo sighting...

at the Library of Congress.

I transcribed this from an episode of Coast to Coast years ago (late 2007); not sure if it's been discussed here before or not.

Intriguing if you ask me but, disinformation? Tall tale? Wild misinterpretation...?

Here it is:

Daniel Sheehan on what he saw in classified files at the Library of Congress, 1977:

"So there I am in this room, and these three, three guys outside guarding the door out there. And I'm going through these microfiche and I'm looking, like I said I don't know how long I'm going to get in here. So I'm looking kind of through these things and after, it must have been about maybe forty minutes or so, I come upon this picture. It's a picture of what is absolutely clearly a UFO. And it's on the ground - it's clear that it hit - there's snow in the pictures and a huge gully has been dug across this field where this UFO had hit in this field and it plowed across the field and it was stuck in the side of a bank. A big mud bank. But there was snow on it and it was kind of sticking out at like a forty-five degree angle. And there were United States Air Force people all around this thing, that you could see them in their hoods - it was a big furry things around their hoods, you could see the name tags they had on them, they were clearly Air Force people. And they had cameras, and actually a film - it was actually a film camera, you could see them in the photographs taking film footage of this thing. And I then went to the next picture, it was another picture of the same thing from a different view. So I started looking through these two, three pictures, and when I got to the fourth picture I think, I could see that there was some kind of ah - uh, draw- they were like symbols, that were along the bottom - it was, it was a classic UFO, the saucer shape with the dome on the top of it. And I could see along the very base of the little bulb on the top, the thing, I could see these symbols along the side of it. So I said gee I'm gonna look to these pictures, advance this thing a way, see if I can get a close up of these. I go through a, a couple more pictures and there it was. It was kind of a close up picture of these symbols along the bottom of the dome of this UFO. So what I did, was I looked, I first tried to see if I could read any of the names on the name tags of any of the these Air Force guys around there but I couldn't, I couldn't get - uh, there wasn't a clear enough pictures of these things. Obviously if we could get the pictures now, we could digitize them and get the names off there."

Here it is:

Hi Goblin, hope you're well mate, and thanks for the info. I have to say that to be honest I've never heard of this guy before, and with a quick check online I learn that he has a reference page on the old UFOevidence site … Daniel Sheehan - UFO Researchers & People
… in which it is claimed that he has been on the scene for quite some time, [at least 43 years] and claims to be connected enough to have been allowed access to not only to the

classified portions of the United States Air Force's infamous “Project Blue Book” files but to the confidential report prepared for the Science & Technology Committee of the United States Congress by the Library of Congress Congressional Research Office pursuant to this Presidential assignment.

… if true, then I suppose that this guy could be on the level! … I doubt misinterpretation, but then again as you say, disinformation is always a possibility when something that big is only really whispered sparsely by someone that seems to have a little more gravitas than the norm.
… as I say mate, I don't know anything about the fella apart from the reference I posted, and will post again if I find anything worth posting when I've had a better look.

Cheers buddy.

Hi Goblin, looked a bit closer mate... and have to quote something I said in my previous post with a bit of a blushed up face.

"when something that big is only really whispered sparsely"

… "whispered sparsely" .. lol. that's all that he's been blabbing on about for donkey's years!
Well it turns out after chasing around various sites and documentation , and watching a few videos that indeed, I had actually come across the chap on a number of occasions but had not really given him my full ear so to speak. To me he was just one of the Steven Greer troupe of 'world anomalistic symposium tourers' that travel with incredible efficiency to anywhere they can sell tickets and personally-signed merchandise.
… Not that there is anything particularly wrong with the old guys making a buck or two , or even that it makes their stories/testaments any the less valid. It's just that I found early on in the 'Disclosure Campaign' that there wasn't anything really new to be learnt … just rehash after rehash of old long ago documented claims of " I saw this, and I saw that and my aunt's old boyfriend's uncle's cousin told a friend of my father that a friend of their mother heard this or that from a man in the know!" … some of which are a lot more believable than others.
…. As to Daniel Sheehan? … well evidently he must not really have impressed me at the time at all really. But I suppose I must have not gotten around to his section of the show before my concentration threshold had worn thin, or I would have recognised the guy's name and claims etc. But I just spent some time catching up on him and watched him tell the same story a couple of times at various stages of his documentary career and have to say that like so many of these well spoken people that has a distinct air of underlying intelligence, i'm just not sure? … sure ,everything he claims is possible,.. but is it likely that he would be given the holy grail to look upon when so many other distinguished and just as well connected inquisitors are simply brushed off? The fact that some people were surprised that 'project blue book itself had some secret files that were for special eyes only and kept separate from the rest at Wright Pat AFB' seems to have impressed a lot of folk. But I suspect that those folk weren't aware that James McDonald following J Allen Hynek spoke about that very subject in 1969 at a AAAs symposium lecture introduced by Carl Sagan …
… [similar, but no mention of photographs of crashed flying saucers in the snow with symbols and parker wearing soldiers] … which makes me wonder if 1. the man is just basically making the thing up from what he has heard before? , or 2. is he telling the truth but the info and photos that he was allowed to view were doctored to spread disinformation to us UFO/ETH ignoramuses ? … or even 3. , is he a willing patsy? or 4. completely on the level and has personally seen what we all crave to see? … To be honest Goblin i'm not very sure which , if any of these things apply to Daniel Sheehan... but if you held a gun to my head and insisted that I guessed, I would have to lean toward option one mate.
… anyway Goblin it seems that we are not the only ones that are undecided about Sheehan's validity, for instance Rich Hall among other luminaries of the genre reckons it's pure fantasy and others are not so sure about that. John Greenwald of Blackvault fame has this to say about him …

In regards to Sheehan's story? Well, I've met him many times, and believe him to be very sincere and not out to deceive. Could he have seen these documents in some vault somewhere? Maybe. I just need a bit more to really decide if that actually happened, and I don't think the evidence is there.

… so who knows?? … it might be that Daniel Sheehan himself doesn't even know if it's real or not! and just think he does. lol.

Cheers Buddy.
