Atomic Veterans were silenced for 50 years
Everyone who has any interest in the story of the crash of a “UFO” with three
hombrecitos on board it in August 1945 and the truth or otherwise of the account given by Reme Baca and Jose Padilla (who at the time were 7 & 9) should watch this short video documentary ‘Atomic Veterans were Silenced for 50 Years. Now, They’re Talking’ (2019) should watch this:-
Some of the last surviving soldiers exposed to nuclear-bomb tests share their unfathomable experiences.

Critics of the suggestion that the
hombrecitos seen in the crashed “UFO” were in fact lab test chimpanzees from Alamogordo AAF seem totally unaware of the highly secretive military program associated with the Atomic Bomb tests to find out their effects on Army soldiers who were in trenches just a mile or two from ground zero. Many were severely injured and several died as a result of close exposure to atomic detonations. Those who survived were sworn to absolute secrecy. Following the successful Trinity Atomic Bomb test of July 16th 1945, further atomic bomb tests were mostly carried out at the Nevada Test Site where there were 928 further nuclear explosions (828 underground) which finally ended in 1992.
No wonder that the military intended to use expendable lab test animals such as chimpanzees in some of the associated testing soon after that first successful detonation at the Trinity Test Site. Moreover the bald declaration that no chimpanzees were used in testing at Alamogordo/Holloman until the early 1950s is likely not true. In 1950 we know that Holloman AFB ordered 65 chimps for such aero-medical test purposes. It is highly unlikely the USAAF/USAF aero-medical scientists at Alamogordo had no previous experience of keeping and using chimpanzees for experimentation if they were suddenly to order up what amounted to a whole zoo full!
The suggestion that a FOIA request to the government today would yield evidence about the Trinity “UFO” crash of August 1945 is similarly naîve. Have any such FOIA requests about anything military from that era ever revealed previously unknown information about what were highly secretive government projects? Even 35 years on, did the US government disclose what branch of the military was responsible for the 1980 Cash-Landrum UFO Incident? Of course not! They denied that the big “UFO” and the many military helicopters that accompanied it were anything to do with them. That denial, I suggest, was categorically false!
It appears that very few critics of
Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret have actually read the book. Their total rejection of the 1945 Trinity UFO crash/retrieval scenario appears to be based solely on Tom Carey’s recorded interview with Reme Baca. That indeed contained much in the way of spurious descriptions of the
hombrecitos as looking like “greys”, preying mantises, or fire-ants, which were no doubt embellishments that Baca hoped would get Carey, a Roswell true-believer, to buy his story. It didn’t work but that didn’t mean the story of seeing the three
hombrecitos was just a hoax like the ridiculous Roswell Slides hoax which had fooled him.
Besides Baca, who died several years ago, there was also Jose Padilla who watched the
hombrecitos in the crashed craft from about 300 feet away. Jose Padilla is still alive today, aged 87, and has talked at length with Jacques Vallée. He recalls watching the
hombrecitosrunning back and forth in the wrecked craft but merely says they looked like little men rather than like kids. Although, from the distance away at which those two kids were standing, they could see that they were wearing “uniforms” or “coveralls” what really struck them was they appeared to be roughly the same height as them, roughly between 3 ft and 4 ft tall.
Apart from Padilla and Baca’s witnessing the
hombrecitos in the crashed craft there is plenty of evidence at the site of the crash that some aircraft did crash land there in August 1945. There is also the evidence of Lt. Col. Brophy from Alamogordo AAF who flew an airplane from there over the Trinity site soon after the crash to ascertain that the ‘Marconi’ radio tower had been wrecked by the so-called UFO and also where this military glider’s wreckage had fallen.
There is also little doubt that a team of Army soldiers did arrive to remove the wreck a few days later and they took several days to do so in very rough terrain. The soldiers who were mostly rookies didn’t do a very good job and stashed many of the metal fragments in a crevice rather than taking them back to Alamogordo. The fate of the three
hombrecitos is unknown but it’s very possible their bodies were buried at the site. It is likely the soldiers who carried out the clean-up and recovery operation knew nothing about the true purpose of this military glider’s flight.
Hopefully critics of Vallée will now concede that a US military aircraft did indeed crash-land at the Trinity site in August 1945 —though I don’t expect many of them to accept that the
hombrecitos were chimpanzees. The notion these were little grey aliens in an extraterrestrial UFO is clearly nonsense but I’m afraid that most UFO pundits —both the skeptics and the UFO/alien true believers—stick rigidly to whatever theories they may have already propounded and they are NEVER prepared to admit that they could possibly have been wrong!
