Another speaker was former US Air Force pilot, Milton Torres. He described how in May 1957 he scrambled his F-86 D Sabre jet in calm weather from the Royal Air Force base at Manston, Kent to intercept an unknown object that appeared on radar.




Stephen Bassett, head of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG), which hosted the X-Conference, said that the truth about extraterrestrial life is being suppressed because it is politically explosive. "There is a third rail [in American politics], and that is the UFO question. It is many magnitudes more radioactive than Social Security ever dreamed to be.
