Bentwaters Incident 2010 Reunion

Dear Colonel Halt,

How does it feel to be known as the UFO Colonel? To be told all you saw was a lighthouse, stars or planets in the night sky. How does is feel to have no one in your circle of command step forward and support you in what happened?

I have a few questions that I would be most gracious if you could answer. In a recent interview with Gary Heseltine, you stated you went out to the area where the first night's incident happened to conduct an investigation. How did you find that area in the dark? Everybody on duty during your outing into the forest was not working during our incident (25th in 26th). How did you know where to look if you or no one else conducted any kind of investigation?

How can you say you were never brought in and question about the incident? According to you General Williams talked to you about it, went to his bosses about it, General Gabriel was briefed on it by Williams and you were told to write a memo and give it to the British. You also stated something happened inside the WSA with beams of light coming down into it. So after all of this, nobody from OSI or higher wanted to talked to you about it?

We were all brought in and interrogated by OSI on Major Zickler's orders, not on the Base Commander or Wing Commanders orders. I can't understand how all of the official reports disappeared and nothing was done about it. General Williams said he didn't know you wrote the memo and never would have allowed it to be sent out to the British because there were things in it that "we could not defend." Is he saying he knew about the incident and would never have informed the British Government about it? We had an international incident take place on somebody else's territory, involving a weapons storage area and nobody wanted to talk to you about it?

General Williams acts like he was never involved yet said something happened to us. It appears you and everybody else in your party was never questions about the incident, but we were brought in and worked over by the OSI under Major Zickler orders - Why?

Gary Heseltine stated he told you, you are the one who will go down as writing the memo and you need to go on the record on what it was you saw. Was it really an Extraterrestrial craft or was it something that our government was doing that we accidently got involved with? Were you then briefed on it and told to write a memo about what really happened to us but with incorrect dates?

Over the years you have dropped certain hints about it being a military project and never anything about it being an Extraterrestrial event. Were you picked to be the scape goat on this to say it was of ET origin if anybody got to close to what it was? How can a chain of command all say they had nothing to do with the incident handle the incident the way they said they did at a front line NATO base - and still be left in charge?

- Or are you now trying to force the people in charge to come clean on what happened to us by playing the ‘alien card’, hoping they will finally support a front line officer who, along with his men, were just trying to do there job?

Yours Sincerely,
