Linda Moulton Howe exposes Deke Richards’ fabricated claims—his "Interior Department" job in nonexistent Maine and a staged Germany crash retrieval—mirroring Kent’s 2019 Mars hoax. Yet, master sergeant Sergio Arellano’s 1986 Fulda Gap sighting of a 200-foot, helmet-shaped object, witnessed by 1,600 people, persists despite military dismissals as "space debris." Meanwhile, Richard C. Hoagland highlights a mysterious Antarctic container ship (138 truckloads) bound for McMurdo Station, coinciding with an unexplained doctor’s rescue and two missing patients in Christchurch. JPL’s Frank Carcy notes the NSA’s past funding in polar regions but denies current involvement, fueling suspicions of hidden operations. Richards’ confession and Kent’s disinformation role suggest a pattern—distractions masking deeper truths, leaving critical questions unanswered. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert in the great American Southwest.
I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it may be, wherever you are across this great land of ours.
From Guam in the west, known as Zurok, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, more rocks, south into South America, north, all the way to the Pole and worldwide on the internet.
In a moment, you are going to hear, hear, for the first time, no, actually for the second time, about a man who told a tale, or at least he says he told a tale, to us last night about what happened in Germany.
You may recall toward the end of the interview, if you made it that far last night, that I requested permission from him to hand his number out to a number of investigators, including Windemoulton-Howell.
And I did.
And she called him.
And when she got him, he collapsed like a house of cards and said, it's all a lie.
And this is one of the more interesting stories you're going to hear.
So we're going to update that, something that really did happen in Germany.
And we're going to update the story in the Antarctic, which is really, really, really getting interesting.
When I heard your interview last night with that man calling himself Deke Richards, his voice reminded me of the infamous Kent three or four years ago who said that he worked for JPL and had information about Mars photographs.
And then when several of us tried to confirm his employment at JPL, we could not, and he admitted then that it was a hoax.
Right now, something similar happened today in trying to verify Richard's statement last night that he worked for the Interior Department in the state of Maine.
First of all, there is no Interior Department in the state of Maine.
There are a few interior field offices, but I ran his name through a check both in several offices in the state of Maine today related to forestry and fish and wildlife.
And I went to the Department of Interior and had the name checked for all of the employees in the Department of Interior, and it didn't check out.
Even though this man seems to be a chronic liar or calculated misinformer art, over the years there have been serious military and civilian eyewitnesses who have reported many strange aircraft over Germany, even some at Folda Gap.
Before we proceed, Linda, there is one other aspect of this story that bears investigation, doesn't it?
That we're not going to discuss on the air.
We've agreed not to discuss who's involved, but there is another serious aspect to this whole FoldaGap thing in Germany, and we're going to follow up on that.
Yes, and probably several things happened at FoldaGap, and we will do more investigation.
And one of those incidents allegedly occurred 15 years ago, right after the April 26, 1986 nuclear power reactor meltdown at Chernobyl, Russia.
The eyewitness there was Sergio Arellano, born in El Paso, Texas, 50 years ago, graduated from high school there, and then joined the U.S. Army, where he earned a degree in transportation.
By the end of April 1986, so we're talking about his 15th anniversary as of today of Chernobyl, so we're 15 years almost to the day.
After that awful nuclear meltdown, Sergio was a master sergeant in Mannheim, Germany, working in the 28th Transportation Battalion.
In 1996, he retired from the Army and returned to his hometown to work for a commercial trucking company.
Sergio remembers how the Mannheim base was put on restrictions to lessen exposure to dangerous radioactivity spreading over Europe.
And he particularly remembers one of those early mornings around 7 a.m. when he had reported for duty.
He was at the truckmaster's dispatch office in the motor pool that overlooked downtown Mannheim.
The sun was shining and the sky was blue.
Some 30 soldiers were outside the office waiting for their orders from Sergio, and half a dozen of his colleagues were inside the office.
Suddenly, people began yelling and pointing at the sky.
He drew what he remembers, and close listeners can see Sergio's unusual drawing now while he talks about this at my website, www.earthfiles.com in the Real X-Files section.
The drawing is very interesting, and now here is Sergio Arellano describing what flew over American troops in Mannheim, Germany, in late April 1986, soon after the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown.
Well, what we saw was a big old ship of some type, aircraft.
Well, it really didn't resemble an aircraft.
It looked like one of those old German helmets.
He had the shape of a German helmet or a Kelvar, modern Army helmet.
And it was flying pretty low, maybe between 5,000 and 6,000 feet.
And it was going maybe at 100 knots based on the fact that we parachute a lot.
And that's about the height that a helicopter flies when we parachute out of it.
And it was going not too fast.
And the colors were sort of yellow.
It had some green on it, dull green, blue.
And it looked like a liquid and a solid kind of material at the same time.
And it didn't seem solid.
It looked more like liquid, like mercury.
Like when you grab a piece of mercury and you move it in your hand and you spab it with little things and it just looked liquidy and solid at the same time.
He had a streamer on the back that it would get bigger and it would get smaller.
So if you add those 1,500 and about 100 of you up where you were, you're getting up to about 1,600 people in that one area that would have had a chance to see this object.
unidentified
Oh yes, because immediately after that formation and when everybody gathered together, that was a topic of conversation in the dining facility and everywhere else.
Well, what did your superiors say that they thought that this object that was shaped like a military helmet that seemed to be both liquid and solid with these odd colors of greens and so forth, five stories high, a couple hundred feet long.
What did they say it was?
unidentified
Well, nobody seemed to know.
Now, everybody was saying that it was a UFO based on the fact that nobody knew what it was.
And I mean, it was just shocking that it would fly right over our military area.
In our military area in Germany there, we have five or six big barracks, which is one of the largest concentration of soldiers in Germany.
And some of it is no-fly area.
And we contacted the intelligence section of our battalion to let them know that, you know, report that craft flying over us to see if it was anything that anybody knew what it was, because he wasn't supposed to be flying on top of us.
Are you saying that by evening, from the morning, that the official explanation from the military was this was some kind of space debris?
unidentified
That's exactly what they reported.
They also reported on the Stars and Stripes the following day.
By noon, they had reported that it was a UFO and he had came in from the Netherlands against towards Germany and that he had been, they had sent interceptors from the Netherlands.
Now we sit between two air bases, one in Frankfurt and one in Kaisersladen, and both are like the biggest air bases in Europe, Ramsdein and Rhine Main.
So it was shocking to us that we didn't see no aircrafts chasing Ed or I mean it took a long time.
We observed it for maybe 10, 15 minutes.
It took a long time to pass over us and just go right over Mannheim and it continued on going.
And something that was that big that would take 10 to 15 minutes that you would all watch, 1,600 of you, that's not space debris, is it?
unidentified
No, because space debris, I mean, you know, we as military personnel, they have seen a lot of, you know, shooting stars and meteorites that travel because most of our training is at night.
They came in at three separate angles or three separate directions and they all went right into it and I mean they didn't slow down or nothing.
Now those were coming in at a pretty fast rate of speed and they went right into it and we all saw it and that's because we said, at first we thought maybe somebody's shooting at this thing, you know, because of the military bases.
So we said, it looks like somebody shot at this thing, but then we realized that, no, it was no shots.
This thing came in and went right into it and the crap didn't stop.
He didn't slow down.
He just, you know, like swallowed the things up and continued on going.
Did any of your superior officers talk with any of you privately off the record about having any other knowledge about what these unidentified, or this unidentified craft might be?
And was the term extraterrestrial ever used?
unidentified
Well, we were all sure that, because the commander also witnessed it, were sure that it was something we had never seen, and it was a craft of some type, or an object of some type that was being self-propelled.
But nobody ever asked about it, nobody ever mentioned it, and the word was that that was that, and that was the end of the story.
Yes, that it was space debris, and that that's the end of the story.
And after that, nobody really mentioned it, because, you know, being in the military, you keep on harping on something, then, you know, all of a sudden, doors start closing on you.
So you knew, I would agree, and that's a lot of guys, that was at least 1500, 1600 right there at Mannheim, that this was some kind of a cover-up, right?
unidentified
Well, we knew exactly.
That was it.
And we talked about it all that night, because everybody sort of hangs around.
There's only one bowl in the alley, one NCO club there, one PX, one commissary.
So, you know, everybody was talking about it and, you know, how silly that was by saying that it was basically, plain fact, we all saw it.
Sergio Arellano hopes that someone else stationed at Nannheim, Germany, in the spring of 1986 will hear this broadcast, look at his drawing at earthfiles.com in the Real X-Files section, and come forward to add their recollections of this very strange helmet-shaped craft and those white, whatever they were, lights that went in and out.
And if so, please contact me, Linda Howe, H-O-W-E, at my email, earthfiles at earthfiles.com or FACS 215-491-9842.
Again, earthfiles at earthfiles.com or FACS 215-491-9842.
And Art, there may have been a couple of thousand people in Mannheim who saw it that day, but as you just explained, if the military stands in front of you and says you didn't see it, then that's what they lived with for a long time.
And Sergio said, I've been out for a long time, and he said you live with these things, and I wanted you to know.
Now, fast forward three or four years, however long it's been, it's been a long time.
I sure didn't nail his voice.
A lot of you did.
And Linda did toward the end.
Richard didn't in the beginning.
He thinks he did toward the end.
But fast forward, the three or four years to last night, we get a story about Germany.
He was in Germany.
He was in the military.
He was in the area.
But at the end of the interview last night, what does he do?
He tells us he works for the Interior Department, state of Maine.
No such thing.
So the moment he said that, he had to know he was had because I was going to give his number out, asked his permission at the very end of the interview.
So add to that the fact that I've got about a half dozen emails now from people who claim they were there and saw exactly the same thing.
Didn't tell you about that.
Add to that the fact that Linda and I both know about something that we can't quite discuss right now.
Add to that the fact that the first time he confessed, went down like a house of cards.
He admitted he was a DIA agent, which itself could be a complete lie.
Once a lie er, always a lie-er, you could suggest and believe.
But why both times would he tell a lie, a detailed lie like that, and then almost set it up, and in fact not almost, but set it up so that he would have to confess the following day?
I think I'm going to keep a very close eye on the Fuldegap region in Germany.
And anyway, so I think that we're dealing with somebody here who intentionally, obviously intentionally, but I think for greater reasons, if you were going to try to point somebody's attention away from something, what better way to do it than what he did?
What better way to do it?
If you wanted to move attention away from something, what better way than to tell a story and then confess?
Well, you know, Mr. Disinformation, this is a pattern.
When there is something going on, real, Kent pops up to try to lead us in the other direction.
It's like what I used to call the mockingbird syndrome.
Before I got into space and before I got into, you know, astrophysics and all that, I was interested in ornithology.
So I know something about bird behavior.
And mockingbirds and catbirds are two species that when something threatens the nest, the mother mockingbird or catbird will throw itself on the lawn, let's say it's a cat, and flutter and pretend that it's got a broken wing and oh, this poor thing is just, and it's always just out of reach of the cat.
And when it gets the cat far enough away from the nest, suddenly the wing is back and it flies away and the cat goes, what?
And the container ship is headed for the Antarctic.
Now, I have tried all day through various sources in the States to confirm this, and it's very, very difficult.
Nobody seems to want to talk.
My first order of business is, if anybody's listening from Port Waheeme, would you give Art a call or send an email or send a fax to Enterprise and let us know that this ship did depart at midnight last night Pacific time, which is literally when we were on the air.
I watched this live on CNN this afternoon through videophone.
They had it from Puenta Orenas, which is the little point in Chile where the airplanes touched down when they left the British base of Rothera on the continent.
Yes, this is the guy they've got to evacuate from.
The plane landed.
Get this.
The plane lands.
I mean, this has been an arduous, backbreaking, humongous, historic, never done-before life.
Yeah, I mean, everything you can imagine.
The world is focused on this guy.
He gets out of the plane.
He's got a shoulder bag on.
He's got a cap on.
He's walking, saundering along.
He meets with some Raytheon guys.
Then my old friend Gary Tuchman, who works for CNN, comes up to him, sticks a mic in his face, and says, doctor, how do you feel?
Fine.
Well, what are your plans?
Well, because they've done this whole big build-up, you know, between Atlanta and Chile that the doctor's going to get on, you know, he's going to rest and he's going to get on a commercial flight and go to the hospital and have this terrible thing taken care of.
And Tuchman says, what are you going to do?
He says, I don't know.
Got no plans.
And then the guy says, but how do you feel?
You've just come from Antarctic.
He says, I don't really want to talk about it now.
And he walked away.
He blows Gary Tuchman off.
He doesn't use the opportunity on global television to thank the people, all the hundreds, if not thousands of people who contributed their part to making his rescue in the middle of the Arctic night successful.
I've got a source down at the Antarctic, or a source of a source, who says he didn't want to go.
They had to drag his butt out of there.
And he was saying he was fine and he was going to stay, and yet they dragged his butt out of there.
And Richard, mainstream TV is covering all this story, maybe until they got embarrassed down there, as you just pointed out, and has ignored the bigger story of, what, 11 people coming down?
So when I saw him blow off Tuchman, you know, nobody can be that self-absorbed.
Nobody can be that selfish not to realize, even if for an instant, that he's on global TV, that he's got an opportunity to at least thank the guys that risked their lives.
Now, why would this guy be angry if he's really suffering?
I mean, this is a life-threatening disease.
If he was there, the only doctor, for five months in the cold with 50 other people at Amazon Scott Base, and he had another attack, he passed another stone, and it went into peritonitis or some other complication.
I mean, what I would expect from a life-threatening flight to risk bringing somebody out would be somebody who would get off the plane quickly, would be transported by a stretcher to an ambulance.
They can never believe in the C word because to them, the world is the way they report it.
The world is the way they're...
But the story that we were going to possibly talk about tonight, we don't have to report.
Our deep undercover investigative sources in New Zealand are hard at work, have now enlisted additional sources that are officially connected.
And in the next day or two, we may know some really interesting specifics on the 11 who came to Christchurch and the two who disappeared in the hospital and the rest of that story.
Now, let me go back to the container ship, because this, I think, is a major piece of news, and I would like to challenge any mainstream reporters to do what you're paid to do and dig into this story.
Last night at midnight Pacific time, a container ship left with truckloads upon truckloads of gear headed for McMurdo, and it will arrive when it can't get into McMurdo.
For those of you who don't Know the geography of the South Pole, McMurdo sits at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
It's called an ice shelf for a reason, everybody, because in the winter it freezes solid through that entire bay.
So if you have a container ship blithely steaming south from California, by the time in the next two weeks it gets there, it ain't going to get in.
So what are they going to have to do?
They're going to have to have an icebreaker from New Zealand break a path into McMurdo with 138 truckloads of huge crates filled with what?
Well, one big problem today was confirming that any of this happened.
Tonight, I am pleased to report that a gentleman named Duncan Rhodes, who is an editor of a magazine well known to many of your listeners' art, it's called Nexus.
It turns out that Duncan has been on the case with us and through independent sources has confirmed that this ship did in fact leave last night from Point Laheima and is headed south to the Antarctic continent.
And for him not to say one gracious word about all these people who really risked their lives.
You know, there was a nurse on the plane, apparently.
There was a doctor brought in, Betty Carlisle, who substituted for him.
She was from McMurdo.
And he just walks away and says to Tuckman, I'll talk about this later.
Bizarre.
Now, this feeds, however, into another major breakthrough we had today, which is we now have a confirmed on-the-record source that something has been going on in Antarctica that you and I did not know about, that we apparently have been paying for for years, which is part of our scenario.
In the last couple, three days, we've been exchanging emails quietly with a gentleman named Frank D. Carcy, a name you will not know, but you will know momentarily.
Frank Carcy is the director of the JPL Vostok slash Europa drilling project.
And he opened hailing frequencies with a very nice email a few days ago pointing out that I had made a mistake in one of our graphics on the What's Up at the South Pole post that we put on the Enterprise site a couple days ago.
As we progress through our conversations, we have been asking him some very pointed questions.
And tonight we got permission to quote, both in our official postings as well as on the air, the following information.
You know that we had in our article a so-called press release by one Deborah Schingteller, who was supposed to be a JPL employee who announced that their project was canceled because the NSA had taken over the project.
According to Mr. Carcy, actually Dr. Carcy, he has asked around and no one at JPL has heard of Deborah Schingteller.
She is not in the official phone book.
She is not listed in the NASA X-500 file of staff and it appears to be another elegant piece of disinformation.
He also has completely and categorically denied that the NSA is behind any of their work, and I must say I believe him.
And the reason I believe him is because of the following part of his statement.
He says, I know of no NSA work in Antarctica and no interest on their part in ice drilling.
But then he goes on to say, in fact, since the fall of the evil empire, that part of the government, and especially their funding, is a greatly missed and lamented player in the polar regions.
This is an official confirmation that the National Security Agency in years past has been a major source of funding and now a lamented lacking player in the polar regions.
unidentified
What the heck was the NSA doing at the South Pole?
Now, this is important because I have been saying for a long time, folks, that most of NASA is honest.
Most of JPL is honest.
I want to give a gold star to a Patriot tonight.
I want to single out Dr. Carcy as a good guy for telling us as forthrightly as one could possibly tell us that, in fact, the NSA has been there.
Now, let me tell you how I interpret this, that they have been there in the past.
He does not know for a fact that they're now, but I would suspect that he is wondering, as we've all wondered, why their project, their incredibly important, interesting project to safely drill through the ice on Vostok as a preparation for the Europa phase has been cut off at the knees.
In fact, he says, what has me a bit concerned is the indifference of Washington, D.C., not just NASA by any means, to our project.
But why shouldn't I presume then, like a lot of the audience, that if he's telling us officially they were there before, then who's to say they're not there now?
He says they're not there now, or he doesn't have knowledge of their being there now, but they don't always tell you when they're there.
So for him to be as open and candid and as forthright and to absolutely tell us on the record that they've been there in years past is an extraordinary step forward.
Because remember what I reported also last night, that my source in New Zealand claimed from her U.S. Intel agents that there were four guys smuggled in in this airplane when they went to get the doctor with gear and all that, and they came from Nova Scotia.
