You might want to pass this bit of UFO information on to Bill regarding his theory about UFOs and gold.

For much of my UFO hunting career, I spent in the Superstitution Mountains, which lie just outside of Apache Junction, Arizona. This is the location of the largest and only gold find's in Arizona. The gold mine is still in operation, producing a large quantity of gold. The mine is known as the Mammoth mine.

I detail in my book a true story about a lost treasure in the same area known as the Lost Dutchman's gold. Now, here is where Bill's theory comes to life. There has been as long as anyone can remember, UFO activity in and around the area where all the gold is found.

This is the premise of my book Aliens and Lost Gold. My part with APRO and Jim Lorenzen was to investigate and record UFO activity in the Superstitution Mountains and the area where the gold mine is located, known as the Gold Field Hills. One last point, Travis Walton's experience took place no less than 60 miles from the gold mine.

Another point you and Bill may not know is that a very small area about 100 miles from the Gold Field Hills is known as one of the hottest UFO spots in the US and the world. It is known as the Childs area. I have spent time there with other investigators as part of APRO.

Finally, one more item that lends itself to Bill's theory is that going north in the Superstitution Mountain range, one will find small towns that have been built because of the immense copper mining operations there, conducted by Phelps Dodge Mining.

A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO MYSELF AND ONE OTHER WITH APRO INVESTIGATOR WROTE A STORY ABOUT A TRIANGLE OBJECT WITH 3 LARGE LIGHTS ON THE BOTTOM REPORTED FLYING OVER THE MINING PITS, AND EVEN SHINNING A LARGE SPOTLIGHT DOWN INTO ONE OF THE LARGE CHIMNEYS THAT ARE USED AT THE MINING SMELTER.

I thought Bill might like to know about these events in case he doesn't have the information.
