Alien Orders

It usually starts with a shiny light in the sky, or a streak going across the horizon. But, that is not how it started with Airforce pilot Captain Ryan. He had been flying jets for 12 years and had many encounters with something other than the normal sightings of a regular aircraft. His first unexplained sighting, he had only been flying for about 1 year. He was on a night training operation in Utah, flying over the Silver Island Range. Captain Ryan was just looking at the night sky and he was mesmerized by its endless beauty. It was dark and mysterious and there was just a quarter moon shining light over the desert. The sky was very dark, the stars were very bright and easy to see being high up in the sky like he was. He loved flying at night and looking out of his cockpit into the Utah night sky. He had only been in the Airforce a short amount of time; but he fit in with all the other pilots he was flying with. Captain Ryan was six feet tall with a solid build, with blue eyes and short brown hair, meaning high and tight. He had to keep in shape to be a pilot in the Airforce.             Captain Ryan had flown with many pilots, but most of his flights were with Captain Johnson. They had flown so many flights together, that they could anticipate on another’s moves. They both had a lot of similar life experiences. For one they were the same age, they both loved being in the Airforce. The big one was that they were both adopted, and they had no idea who their real parents were. They both had a competitive side to them; they enjoyed to be first in all they do. They enjoyed flying with each other, even though they did fly with other pilots; they preferred to fly with one another. They were like brothers to each other; they looked out for one another. On their days off they even hung out together, at least one of the days off. Neither one of them was married nor had a girlfriend, because they were busy with being pilots in the Airforce. As he looked out the glass of his F-16 fighter jet the evening of April 17th, 2009, he saw lights in the sky over the western salt flats; and whatever it was; it was just floating high in the sky with revolving lights on it. The object was very large and wedge-shaped. Each side was about three times the length of a fighter jet. It was a very large object in the night sky. He squawked on the radio to the other pilot in the sky, Captain Johnson, to see if he was seeing what was out there. Captain Johnson, the other pilot that was flying with Captain Ryan replied on the radio and said “I can see the strange thing with lights on it as well.” Captain Ryan called on the radio to the air traffic control tower to check if they had it on radar and could confirm whether they see it also. The control tower said that they see an object, but to disregard it and continue on with the mission. Ryan and Johnson were very interested in what they were looking at. They decided to fly around the area for a few more minutes.               The closer that Captain Ryan and Johnson got to the mysterious object in the sky, the lights around the unexplained craft started to spiral around the triangular object at a quicker pace. The object began to move away from them in a westerly direction. At that point, they were heading in the same direction as the radiant triangle. Then it just accelerated faster than they were going or able to go and it was gone in an instance. The two pilots were shocked at what they just observed. They had never seen anything like that. Neither of the F-16 pilots could explain the speed that the object accelerated to. Captain Ryan was not the kind of person to just leave things alone that didn’t make any sense to him. He was not about to let what he saw go unquestioned. When Captain Ryan and Johnson got done with their training mission and went back to the base, they talked about what they saw and how they were going to write it up in a report. Just after they got back they were told not to put it in any report, by the tower officer in charge.             After they were told not to put anything about their sighting in the report by the tower officer in charge. They asked why? They were informed that this is how they have always done it. This is an order, per Colonel Wyatt, of the Intelligence Command. They are the ones that review all of our reports for inconsistencies, or anything that they need to classify. For instance, if they see an enemy jet in our Air Space, which no one should know about, that part of the report, is redacted. So to save them time in their jobs of just redacting our sightings, we are told to just leave them out of the reports. Captain Ryan did not agree with that order, but who is he to overwrite an order from a full bird Colonel, that he has never met before, and in fact never heard of. So Captain Ryan said that he would obey this order, officially; but unofficially, he was planning to disobey it. They started to ask around to other pilots that were in the squad room. And then out of the blue, a representative from the Signal Intelligence Command brought a message for Captain Ryan and Johnson. They read the message, which stated that they were to report to the Intelligence Command in thirty minutes. They went over to their Commanding Officer and asked if he knew anything about this and there C/O had no idea what the summons was all about. On their way over to the Intelligence Command, both of the men had to walk down a long corridor, which had white tile floors and white walls. The entire way they could hear their footsteps echo through the hallway that they were in. There was no one else around. They had never been over to this area before, so they had no idea if that was a normal thing in that hallway. The hallway was very bright and cold. The Intelligence Command building was just behind the main headquarters building. But the building was very big, and the two buildings were connected, so when then needed to go to the Intelligence Command part of the building, it took several minutes, and it was like a maze over there. Walking the long walk over to that part of the building, made them think of, “who would want to work over here?” It is so bright and sterile with nothing but white walls and cameras in every corner of every hallway. There were no pictures, and all the offices had their doors shut. They were not very welcoming. So being called over there was a punishment all by itself. It also felt like such a long walk just hearing your own footsteps.                   As soon as they got to the Command Office, they checked in at the front desk, and were told to have a seat. It was a normal reception waiting area that they were in. The walls were off white, brown tile carpet floors, plenty of chairs, and magazines on the side tables. The receptionist was not military. She was a civilian with a tight blouse and short skirt, and she was not much for talking. She got a call on the phone, which only lasted a few seconds. Then told them that they could go into the office, but wait fifteen seconds before reporting at the door. So they waited the fifteen seconds and then Captain Ryan being the senior officer knocked on the door three times and listened for the response to come in. When they heard the response to enter, they opened the door, walked in and shut the door behind them. They walked straight over to the desk that the senior officer was sitting at, and stopped right in front of it, stood at attention, saluted, and said Captain Ryan and Johnson reporting as ordered.             Reporting is part of military customs and courtesy. First Stand at attention and knock three times on the door. When instructed to enter, march in a smart military fashion to a point three paces in front of the senior officer’s desk. While holding the salute, say, "Sir or ma'am, and then state your name, and reporting as ordered. You hold your salute until the senior officer responds with a salute as well, once they pull the salute away, you can drop your salute. Then you wait for your orders, to stand at ease or take a seat. It is a form of respect, to your senior leadership.    As soon as they were done reporting to the Lieutenant Colonel, they were told to have a seat. It was an ordinary Colonel’s office with desk and chairs and one window, white walls a couple of paintings and family pictures on his desk. There were three officers in the room. Both Captain Ryan and Johnson were getting very concerned about why they were called there in the first place. There was a Lieutenant Colonel sitting at the desk. The other two officers were on the sides of the desk were both Majors; all three of them were part of the Intelligence Command, which they knew by their branch insignia on their uniforms. They started to get questions about the night of their sighting and what they believe they saw out in the night sky. After Captain Ryan told the Lieutenant Colonel what they thought they saw, Captain Johnson told the same story that they had both seen the same thing. They were asked if they had talked to anyone else about what they claim to have seen. The two Captains’ said that they had only asked a few of the other pilots if they had ever seen anything like what they saw in the night sky. The Captains were told that they were not to discuss this with anyone else outside of this office. As far as everyone else was concerned, including the other pilots, they did not see anything and that neither of them was to talk about it to anyone. This just made Captain Ryan more curious about what was going on. He knew that he had to tread very lightly on this matter, or he could see himself and Captain Johnson in a lot of trouble for disobeying a direct order. Captain Ryan and Johnson went back to their office to do some paperwork, but on the way back to their squad room Captain Johnson said, “well I guess we just need to forget about what we saw right?” but, Captain Ryan could not stop thinking about what was going on and why it was being covered up. Captain Ryan just agreed with Captain Johnson, since he did not want to see anyone get in trouble, but he was not going to forget about what they saw. He decided to investigate this on his own, but just a little at a time, as to not bring suspicion from his commanding officers and the Intelligence Command on him. Ryan finished off his duty shift; but the entire day his mind was preoccupied with what was really going on. That night he went to a bar with a bunch of other pilots and Air Traffic Controllers. They were the back bones of the pilots, referring to communication with the tower and Command. At the bar Ryan only had a couple of beers. He thought that this was a good place to ask some questions to everyone that was there with him. So he asked them all if any of them had ever seen anything unexplained either flying or on radar. Most of them said yes. They had seen something out of the ordinary, but, they were told to keep it to themselves. He told them what they had seen just the other night, and they said that it is almost just like there encounters as well. The Air Traffic Controllers said that they see odd things on the radar several times a week, but they are also told to disregard most of the their sightings, unless it is close to interacting with our own pilots in the sky; otherwise just leave them out of the reports. Captain Ryan just sat there at the table listening to what was being said, and he could not believe it. It was a full blown cover-up. It seemed like everyone knew about it, but no one was allowed to talk about it. So he was just making mental notes about what was being said, just so that when he got home he could do some research. When Ryan left the Bar and was heading home for the night, he could not shake the feeling that he was being watched. Then he thought “am I really being watched or am I just paranoid for talking about what I was told not to talk about.” As soon as he got home, he got on his computer, and just for a test search, he searched UFO’s in the Utah sky. The search pulled up a lot of sites that he could choose from. Ryan was not prepared to start a full investigation that night. He wanted to get prepared, before he really got any new information. Throughout that night Ryan laid in bed and thought about how he was going to do research.             The next day Ryan decided to keep a private journal. So he went to the Post Exchange and bought a blue leather bound journal that was sold there, so he could keep track of events and things like, what was talked about at the bar. Captain Ryan had a small safe in his closet that he was going to keep this journal in, just in case someone caught wind and decided to come looking for it. He was doing this because he knew that what they saw was not ours, meaning the United States Government, and that other departments throughout the military wanted to keep it under wraps. Over the next few weeks he did small searches on the top secret internet that the military has, which is called the SIPRNET. Even though he knew what he was doing could land him in jail or even lose his commission or security clearance. This is why he did not want to involve Captain Johnson if at all possible. But, he felt that it was worth the risk because people have a right to know. But for some reason the military has different ideas to what regular civilians have the right to know.  The first search that he did on the SIPRNET, was about just after the sighting, and was on strange things seen in the sky over Utah. To his astonishment, there were a lot of files that pulled up, but he knew that he could not just start opening up the files, even though he had a Top Secret clearance. Most of the files that pulled up were compartmentalized, just so that anyone could not just read anything they want from the SIPRNET. You have to be read into the file or program. Basically, it is a need to know. If you have not been read into a program, even if you have the right clearance, you still cannot just read any file that comes up on a search. When Ryan was doing his first search, as soon as files began to pull up, “one” it confirmed that what they saw that night was not a first time event; “two” with the amount of files coming up, he had to be sure about this before he opened even one of the files. Most of the files had dates in the descriptions. He took a mental note to the times and dates. There were lots of events around the same date. He had to remember the times and dates listed on the file names, because in the SIPRNET room you cannot take pictures or notes. And, if you print things out, there are records of what you printed and you need to handle the documents in a certain way; so that was out of the question. As soon as he was done looking at the descriptions of the files he had pulled up, he logged off the computer and went back to his office. Ryan was thinking long and hard that afternoon on whether he really wanted to go down this rabbit hole. At the end of the day, Ryan knew just what he was going to do. He felt that he had already gone this far, so he might as well go all the way. He didn’t really talk to anyone throughout the day. He did his training flight that afternoon. It was just an uneventful training flight; but that is really how they want them.      When he went home that night he put everything that he remembered into the blue journal, before he forgot it. But, it was heavy on his mind so he was not going to forget it anytime soon. He searched the internet for events on or around the dates that he saw on the SIPRNET. One of the searches that pulled up was a conspiracy web site, which had lots of events that correlated to dates that he was looking for. This website had a chat room attached to it, so he signed up with a fake name and joined the chat. There were a lot of people on this site and they knew a lot about unexplained sightings. This night was his first night on the chat so he just watched and read what was being said by others. But, he planned on getting on again another night, when he felt more comfortable. He realized that this was really turning into a huge cover-up and he knew that in a way he was part of it, being an officer in the Airforce. This is how Ryan started his secret movement on whether the events were aliens or not.             He was secretly talking to other pilots about what he saw that night and what they have seen during their time as pilots. He began to realize that he was not alone in this secret investigation. Other pilots had the same thoughts as Ryan about there being a big cover up. His journal was getting full of information and he had only been at this for a few weeks. So far so good, no one had seemed to catch wind as to what he was doing under the radar. What he saw in the night sky on April 17th 2009 at 2100 hours, in the western sky in Utah was not the first time it had actually been reported. Most of the other pilots that he flew with had seen this or something like this during one flight time or another. With the evidence that he was gathering, he decided to start to look a little deeper, in hopes that he wouldn’t get caught. With the files listed on the SIPRNET, that he had aspirations about opening up, he decided to only open up one file per every other visit to the vault, which is where the computers are located. Otherwise he would spark suspicion to what he was really doing.             The first file that he opened was around the time and date of the sighting. He was hoping that it might shed some light on what he might have seen that night. When he read the file it almost made his jaw drop. It had a lot of details that really opened his eyes. When he was reading the file, he kept looking over his shoulder to make sure that no one else was seeing what he was doing. He got a bit paranoid, once he opened the first file, that he was being watched “again.” But, it was too late; he was going down the rabbit hole. The file stated that what he saw was some sort of an observation satellite in low orbit. But it had the ability to move very fast. It also stated that it would sometimes make some sort of contact with the fighter jets. The object that Captain Ryan and Johnson had seen was the same object that the other pilots, which he had talked to, had also seen. It also acted the same towards his flight path as it did with the others that had seen it. Reading this it made him realize that this was not a new event that just popped up randomly. This object had been showing up for years, observing and interacting with pilots in the sky. This made him realize that it really was some kind of a cover-up. And, that was just from the first file he read, and from the pilots he had talked to. The government knew exactly what he saw that night; they just wanted it kept quiet. But why? How do they know what the object is, unless they have interacted with it in the past? So could the stories be true about downed Alien crafts that have been collected by the Government. Since there are so many stories about downed spacecraft, “why the cover-up?”                 It had been three weeks and he was starting to get a little more mistrustful that someone knew what he had been doing. When he would go places he would still get the strange feeling that he was being watched or even followed; but he never saw anyone. As soon as Captain Ryan got to his office at 0600 hours, he had a routine that he followed. He would go to the gym and work out or go for a run, shower, and get dressed for the type of day it was going to be. Then Ryan would go back to his office, grab a cup of coffee and a light snack. Then around 0745-0800 hours, check his email, and then off to any meetings that he was required to attend. Then work on flight plans for upcoming training flights. As pilots, they are required to log so many hours a month of flight time, so their training missions had to be planned out well in advanced and scheduled, because every pilot cannot fly every day at the same time.      When he checked his email that morning, there was an email marked urgent. When he saw that, his heart dropped and he felt his pulse rate go up. He could feel it throughout his body, and his ears were pounding with his heart beat. He clicked on the email, and it stated that his computer use was being audited and that he was being requested back to the Intelligence Command Office, to see Colonel Wyatt, this time. He was with ALPHA team. It was in the same building just in the basement. The time now was 0800 hours and he was requested to be there at 1000 hours that morning. The email said “Confidential, do not discuss with anyone.” The two hours that he had to wait was agonizing, because he knew that he was probably caught and he was in trouble. It was the longest two hours of his life, wondering if his career was over or whether his commission was being taken away and going back to a butter bar 2st Lieutenant. On his way to the requested meeting, he was sweating and getting scared. He had to walk down the long white cold hallway all over again. This time when he got to the end of the hallway, he would not go right, he would go left. This took him to another long hallway, which took him to a dead-end, with an elevator. The walk over to the Intelligence Command ALPHA team seemed like a very long walk. His mind was getting the best of him. As he was thinking about what was going to happen. Is he going to lose his clearance, his commission, or jail, or all of it. He could feel the pulse from his heart in his eyes, which he had never felt before. He was truly afraid for what was going to happen. He was instructed that as soon as he got to the elevator, he was to call it, and, there was only one button to call it. When the doors opened he got in, he was to press the call button and then they would talk to him on a two way communication device in the elevator. They verified that it was Captain Ryan and brought the elevator down. The Elevator was a small personal sized box, which maybe could fit five people. It was a very plain metal box, that the temperature dropped at least ten degrees when you walked into it. It had a camera in the top right corner and the back right corner, so that whoever was watching could see all angles. The elevator really added to the suspense of being called to the Colonel’s personal office. It was like being in high school all over again and being called to the principal’s office and you knew that you were in trouble. It was also a very slow elevator, it really gave you time to think what possibly could go wrong here. When the elevator got to the correct floor, which seemed to take a long time just to go to the basement, the door opened up to an almost empty room. It was a white room, with what seemed to be a metal floor. There was only one door in the room and one, two person couch along the opposite wall of the elevator, and a side table with a few magazines. There was a voice coming from a speaker that said “take a seat on the couch.” Captain Ryan took a seat and waited what seemed to be an hour. He tried to get into the elevator to talk to someone but the door would not open. This room was a very intimidating room to be in and not be able to leave.      He tried to clear his mind by thinking of something else, by looking through one of the magazines. But he could not even focus on the words because he was so nervous. Every second seemed like minutes, and minutes seemed like hours, time was standing still as he watched the clock tick forward second by second. He had been there for an hour, and it really seemed like an eternity had gone by. Passing the time was very nerve racking, because being nervous makes you assume the worst, and your phone does not work in this room, and your watch stops working as well. Then you realize that this room is protected from all incoming and outgoing signals, and it has a magnetic barrier, that is what stops all devices from working. Just like a watch and phone from working. Having this happen, makes you very afraid for what is coming next, and how do you get out of it. A Major came out and asked Captain Ryan to follow him to the conference room. When he walked into the room, the room had five men in it, three seated at the table, and two sitting in the corner; and, they all out ranked him. The table they were all sitting at was black marble and made into a half circle. They all sat around the curved side of the table. There was an Airforce Colonel, an Army Colonel, and an Airforce Major that escorted him to the conference room. Then there were two men in Black suits sitting in the front corner of the room. The room was an intense room. There were large flat screens that filled every wall, and every screen showed a different room on it, like all the rooms were under surveillance. The floor was also a metallic floor and the ceiling was white with lots of lights built in to it. The room was very lit up. The two men sitting in the front corner really made him fearful like he was in the kind of trouble that you just disappear. Captain Ryan was trying to take in the entire room so that if he got out of this, he would be able to put a note in his journal. One thing that was very strange is that both Colonels had the same hazel color eyes, the Major had brown eyes, and he could not see the eyes of the men in suits sitting in the upper corner.
