This is the 8th episode of API Case Files – the podcast by and for UAP Investigators.

  By

Where vehicles disappeared.

One of our strangest cases was 14-027, a two witness anomaly case. We were unable to offer a solution of the case to the witnesses, but continue to hope that someone else has had a similar encounter. WITNESS 1 has experienced many other sightings before and since. To hear witness audio, reference Episode 3 of API Case Files.

Duration: 55 minutes 14 seconds

Simone Mendez in the Air Force in the early 1980s

Transcript for this Episode

Paul Carr welcomes Simone Mendez, whose contact with what appeared to be an official document detailing detection of extraterrestrial spacecraft when she was in the US Air Force caused her several months of grief and resulted in the loss of her Top Secret clearance.

Here we give Ms. Mendez a chance to tell her story and set the record straight. Her story  turns out to have many unanswered questions.

A statement for listeners from Simone Mendez:

After the audio was released, Ms. Mendez e-mailed and asked if I could make public the following statement.

I regret having kept the ufo printout, and having believed the providing co worker.  I know exactly what you listeners are thinking of that.  Just as it was derogatorily repeatedly made known to me in no uncertain terms, over the years, by certain ufo enthusiasts and online commenters.

I have a reason, that is not an excuse.  

In the year 2018, I see and know the truth about me, of 1981.  

I would rather not publicize (in medical vernacular,) a condition.

I am an Autistic person, which I was not awake to that fact, until my mid 40’s.

A very short introduction to Google Earth Pro for UFO Witnesses

  By

We put this video together to encourage witnesses to use the application to explore the area in which they had their experience, and to help us pin down location and direction(s). With just a few minutes messing about in the app on your own, you can quickly learn to move about, change orientation and position, use Street View where available, and draw direction lines.

See our Video Page for a complete list of all our videos, including some we haven’t published yet.

API is seeking alliances with other independent research groups

  By

Here is our complete statement of the sort of alliances we are seeking.

In summary, so long as we can assure the protection of witness privacy, we want to establish exchange agreements with like-minded UFO research organizations. No money will change hands, – just information, expertise, and effort.
