William
D. Leet of Texarkana, Arkansas, long-time respected
researcher, former Major, Air Force Pilot, WW II and
Korea, and co-author of To Rule The Sky, knowing
of my UFO crash/retrieval research, reached me by letter
in December 1978 to relate that he had a lead from Mr.
Lynn Ward, which concerned a relative who had seen a
captured flying saucer in a Navy hangar in 1950. The
witness was Durward "Buddy" Haak, CPO Radar
Observer, while stationed at a Naval Air Station in
Sunnyvale, California. In 1952, Buddy Haak was on an
ill-fated flight out of San Diego. His aircraft disappeared;
no trace of it ever found.
Buddy
Haak, according to testimony received from members of
his family, had accidentally entered a door of a large
hangar, temporarily unguarded, and saw a huge, round saucer-shaped
craft with a row of windows. A guard shut the door in
his face and ordered him to forget what he had seen, or
else. By June 1979, through the efforts of Bill Leet,
I had received written statements from two members of
the family who recalled the story, and managed to get
the phone number of Durward Haak's mother. On June 25,
1979, I called Mrs. Haak, who, requesting that her full
name and address be withheld, recalled her son's concern
about seeing the flying saucer. "It was certainly
no aircraft of ours," she remembers him saying. Although
other members of the family connect Buddy's strange disappearance
with his knowledge of the UFO, Mrs. Haak did not.
