HANGAR 18-ISH: WHAT THE HECK IS THE WRIGHT-PATTERSON BLUE ROOM? PART TWO: INSIDE THE BLUE ROOM | 525

Last week, Hysteria 51 went knocking on one of the most infamous locked doors in UFO history.

This week, somebody finally opens the darn thing.

We’re heading back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and picking up the alleged story of a technical specialist who claimed he was secretly transported to a restricted facility filled with technology nobody could identify, machinery scientists were supposedly ordered to reverse-engineer, and a second room containing something considerably harder to explain.

Bodies.

Small ones.

Floating in tanks.

From there, things somehow get weirder.

We dig into allegations of an alien morgue, crashed UFO wreckage, underground storage facilities, complete flying saucers, the claim that recovered extraterrestrial technology helped create everything from transistors to fiber optics, and the theory that once everybody figured out Wright-Patterson was supposedly America's alien warehouse... the government simply moved the good shit somewhere else.

But there’s another possibility. Maybe the Blue Room was completely real. Maybe strange technology really was being studied there. Maybe Barry Goldwater really did stumble onto something Curtis LeMay desperately wanted kept secret. And maybe none of it had anything to do with aliens… Maybe…

We’re putting the Wright-Patterson Blue Room, Hangar 18, UFO crash retrievals, alien bodies, reverse-engineering programs, government secrecy and eighty years of extraterrestrial rumors on trial. Last week we reached the door. This week we go inside on Hysteria 51.
