Description
DETAIL: The short runway for these prototypes is said to be camouflaged in plain sight as a storm drainage / flood-controlled channel in the desert, at the northwest end of the Antelope Valley, on the slopes of the Tehachapi Mountains, at the mouth of Little Oak Canyon.

THE STORY: This levitating non-aerodynamic experimental "Interceptor" is tied with my "Roswell Crash Site" drawing and my "Family Album #1" as to which is my most popular drawing, ever. It's been on dozens of TV shows both on network television and cable television as well as in dozens of books and magazines. If it looks familiar, the boys at FOX made a computer render of a similar vehicle for the first regular episode of the first season of the "'X'-Files" after the pilot entitled "Deep Throat."

This original is well traveled and has been in six countries on display for various conferences. Several attempts were made to steal it in Tokyo, Mexico City, Idyllwild, California and Los Angeles.

I met with four old engineers at the Denny's in Antelope Valley in the Spring of 1992. I brought my sketch pencils and a handful of pre-sharpened Number Twos. They talked, I sketched. We all ate, I paid the tab. All four were fed up with security "Impositions" that affected their quality of life, the locations at which they were required to live out a significant portion of their their lives and the forever complaining from all their wives, who time in the desert heat, dust and gritty sand had stolen all of their blooms. All had bits and pieces of a puzzle that they all called the XF-131 Super Sentinel for which locals called the "Tehachapi Triangle."

They all wanted to see their story on TV and none wanted to be fired, made homeless, have their pensions taken, or jailed for "Talking." They wanted to see their "Non-Aerodynamic Little Bitch" outed and made into a model kit, the way I had sold them on how I was planning on bringing the Roswell Waverider UFO to the Testor Corporation.

I promised a five-way split of the artist's negotiated percentage on global hobby kit sales if I pulled off the deal. It wasn't about the money for them. It was about the bragging rights to their children and grand children.

These four scientist/engineers worked at a variety of assigned facilities who had found each other over a number of decades in California's east high desert.
Two claimed to work specifically at "The Tejon Ranch" also known as "The Tehachapi Ranch" by UFO researchers which was located in the foothills of the Tehachapi mountains, at the mouth of Little Oak Canyon about 25 miles northwest of Lancaster, California. Friends of both my father and his dear mentor Robert "Bob" Scandrett at the Rockwell International old "Autonetics" facility--now Strategic Systems Division--in East Anaheim, California were able to confirm that those two were being absolutely truthful as to their bona-fides.

The other two worked for Ben Rich at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Glendale, California and worked the radar cross section test ranges known as Helendale. Lockheed Martin's Helendale RCS measurement facility was located in the Mojave Desert, just 45 miles east of Lockheed's Skunk Works headquarters at Plant 42 in Palmdale, California.
