Time And Perseverance Ends The Interception

Interception Case Closed
By Dennis Balthaser

After 12 years my experience with alleged United States Air
Force OSI, (Office of Special Investigation Agents) can finally
be put to rest. The end results are not what other researchers
that worked with me on it expected at the time of the incident,
but it is reassuring to know that after all this time, I can now
publicly state what we believe took place and I can move on to
other investigations.

For those not familiar with "the Interception" back in June
1997, a full account of the incident can be read at:

As a brief recap of the event, I'll try to summarize it in this
editorial, and propose the conclusion arrived at with the help
of other researchers that became involved 12 years ago.

I had been volunteering at the UFO Museum in Roswell less than a
year as the UFO investigator, when a phone call was received
from a gentleman in Oklahoma that stated his dad had been
involved with the Roswell Incident as a military policeman, and
he had a piece of metal from the debris field that he wanted to
get rid of.

Several phone calls took place between the son and myself to
arrange a meeting in Oklahoma to interview his Dad and get the
metal for testing.

Only three people at the UFO Museum - the Museum Director, Deon
Crosby, two founders of the Museum, mortician Glenn Dennis and
Max Littell - were aware of the phone calls and the pending trip
I would make to Oklahoma. Since my son was going to college at
Oklahoma State in Stillwater, where the gentleman's son's phone
calls originated from, I used a visit to my son as a cover story
for anyone that questioned why I wasn't at the Museum.

Upon arriving in Oklahoma I was unable to make contact with the
gentleman's son, during 3 phone calls I made to the only phone
number I had, leaving a message on their recorder each time.

About 3:30 a woman returned my call and said to meet them at a
Denny's restaurant at 7 PM. I went to Denny's, and a man and
woman came in fitting the clothing description she had given me
on the phone. The gentleman asked, "Are you Dennis?", and I said,
"Yes". He said, "The gentleman you planned on meeting will not
be here." I asked, "Who are you?" He said, "We're Special Agents
of the United States Air Force, Office of Special
Investigations." I said, "How did you know I was coming over
here" and he said, "We knew Monday that you'd be here Friday." I
asked, "Is my phone tapped" and he said, "You know how we do
business."

That meeting at Denny's lasted three and a half hours, talking
about the gentleman that allegedly had the metal, the Roswell
Incident, Area 51 and other UFO related events. He had a New
Mexico map and we talked about the crash sites, and he had
drawings of UFOs that we discussed.

Not knowing who I was dealing with and uncomfortable with the
situation I was in, I didn't take any notes during the meeting
with these two people. The younger lady with him didn't talk
much during the meeting. During our discussions he did mention
things that I could verify, but also made statements about the
Roswell Incident that I hadn't heard before.

Upon returning to my hotel, I made a cassette recording of
everything I could remember from the meeting, and on my drive
back to Roswell made notes when I remembered something else.

I made several more phone calls to the son upon returning to
Roswell, describing my disappointment with the events that had
taken place and each time someone would come on the phone
claiming to be representing the United States Air Force, OSI
office.

For about 5 days I was paranoid, putting tape on my vehicle hood
and fender, (an old police trick), and not knowing what I'd find
when returning to my residence each night.

I lost weight over the next few weeks and finally contacted
Stanton Friedman, since I was now in a situation I had never
been in before. Stanton suggested that I go public with the
'Interception' for my own protection, which I did by combining
my notes into a lecture presentation that I presented at the UFO
Museum in October 1997 to a crowd of over 200 people.

Stanton was right, and I did feel relieved when I publicly
exposed the experience. I had also confided in Don Schmitt,
another well-known Roswell researcher, as thet were both
researchers I'd worked with and respected their experience.

Shortly after I went public, another researcher, Frank Warren,
got involved with my attempt to determine who I had been dealing
with and more importantly, what their motive was by having me
come to Oklahoma and being unable to get the results I was
seeking.

Frank had been involved with UFO research since the 1970's, and
today Frank's research has evolved into one of the most
informative blogs on the Internet,

www.theufochronicles.com

and we have had an outstanding relationship for the past 12
years. I am forever indebted to Frank for the untiring research
he has done, particularly his perseverance into the
'Interception'.

OSI Badge & Shield

Frank has discovered that I was set up or hoaxed by the
'Interception' and that it wasn't the first time this guy
claiming to be an OSI agent has scammed someone.

Perhaps his motive was the UFO Museum, but as the Volunteer UFO
Investigator for the Museum - as determined by the then staff -
I was the victim.

The woman at the meeting turned out to be the ex-wife of the
alleged agent who met with me and has admitted to her ex-
husband perpetrating such hoaxes on other occasions, to other
individuals.

For the past few years when doing the 'Interception' lecture or
discussing the event, I have contemplated legal action against
this individual, since it turned out that he was impersonating
Federal agents and that I was hoaxed by him. It would seem to me
that the United States Air Force would be interested in knowing
that someone is impersonating their agents, or perhaps the FBI
would be interested in putting an end to such an individual's
actions.

When it went down in 1997 I really believed that I was on to
something, as did other researchers that I confided in
pertaining to the Roswell Incident, however I think it's also
credible that the truth has come out thanks to our research and
teamwork.

The admission that the 'Interception' was a hoax is to me an
example of how good research can produce positive results and a
conclusion to an event or incident.

I've learned a lot about such a situation, in the event an
opportunity such as this came up again and I'm thankful that I
have access to other researchers that share my same desire to
find the truth.

The 'Interception' happened just as I described it and it
precipitated an investigation, in which the end result exposed a
fraud.

I will leave the 'Interception' experience posted on my website -
adding this final account to it - and hope that it will serve as
an example of good research.
