PARANET SPECIAL RELEASEby Jim SpeiserParaNet Alpha 08/02 -- Barry Goldwater. Senator Barry Goldwater. Former Presidential hopeful, former A
ir Force General, hard-line conservative, hard-nosed patriot, a man with a reputation for honesty and high moral character. Barry Goldwater.
 The very name strikes terror into the hearts of Communist sympathizers the world over.In 1966, Senator Barry Goldwater, R-AZ, took a trip t
o Dayton, Ohio, to look inside a building. The building, immortalized in fiction as "Hangar 18", is actually not a hangar, but an old conver
ted supply depot on the grounds of Wright Patterson Air Force Base. It is currently used by the National Security Agency. There, it is rumor
ed, are stored the remains of crashed "flying saucers" from the forties and fifties, and possibly some alien corpses.OK, so its science fict
ion. But what IS in the building? Well, no one knows for sure, see, because its off-limits to everyone but a handful of NSA and Air Force pe
rsonnel. Probably some secret government weapon is being developed inside. So it stands to reason that Barry Goldwater should be allowed in;
 after all, he is a member of, or chairman of, every Senate panel that oversees such things: Intelligence, Armed Forces, Tactical Warfare, P
reparedness, Aviation, Science, Technology, Space, the list goes on.Barry Goldwater, Senator Rambo, was denied entrance to the building.I mu
st admit, I am not 100% convinced of the existence of the so-called "Cosmic Watergate", and the skeptics make some very good points. But I'd
 like to ask those skeptics one simple question: What could possibly be so top-secret that Senator Barry Goldwater, R-AZ, is not allowed to 
see it?A recent addendum to this story: a local magazine reporter, in an attempt to follow up, received a denial from Goldwater's administra
tive aide that the incident ever occurred. It did occur, we assure you. The file GOLDWATER.UFO is a series of letters signed by the Senator 
in answer to requests for more information on the matter. You can reach this file by typing R GOLDWATER.UFO at the main Library prompt. We'd
 like to think the aide was just trying to protect his boss, who was in the hospital at the time. But this is only one example of the many s
trange turnarounds that have occurred in this field lately.Please read the file. And please, if you can, explain it to me.
