On 7/29/78 in Dayton OH: Researcher Len Stringfield made his first talk on Crash Retrievals. He was threatened twice, first by phone. He was escorted away by three plainclothes security men with radios to a hotel not of his choosing. Was it intimidation or the Phenomenon?

This account is from Stringfield’s 2nd status report.

If it was intimidation, they didn’t need this security theater to scare him, especially in those days with the UFO coverup still deeply in effect. This is an anomaly.

In the 20th century there is a history of the Phenomenon using telephones to contact Dr. Sarfatti, Dr. Karla Turner, and (if memory serves me correctly) Kenneth Arnold during his 1947 Maury Island investigation in Tacoma. I need to search the archives for “telephones”.

Stringfield’s blind spot (now obvious today): not realizing that it could have been the Phenomenon itself that threatened him.

It seems obvious, looking back, that Stringfield was somebody’s or some group’s asset.
