As he stood up, Harrison recalled the zigzagging luminescent sphere he witnessed last July. He held the letter and its attachments, and then exited his office. He walked to the alcove where they kept the photocopier. A quick glance into Zemdarsky’s office assured Harrison that his partner remained preoccupied. Zemdarsky talked on the phone, laughing and wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.
Harrison made the necessary copies. He would separate them later, when he put them in a safe-deposit box he had rented. Back in his office, he closed and locked the door and then sat down at his desk to call Holcomb again. When Holcomb answered, Harrison said, “The snake charmer from India is Sigmund Freud’s grandson.”
“J. Edgar Hoover never wore white after Labor Day.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, except for his favorite pair of pumps. You got a nosy partner.”
“Did you find something?”
“More or less. Actually, it’s sort of like finding out the whore—”
“What is it?”
“So, I ran a search of the projects you told me about. The aerospace cases have been sealed and transferred.”
“Sealed and transferred?”
“There wasn’t much information left in the computer at all. The cases are sealed. There is a class-five security clearance, with restrictions, indicated as necessary for access.”
“What the hell kind of clearance is that?”
“Beats the hell out of me. I didn’t ask around just in case it was some sort of clearance that only aliens have.”
“Where were they transferred to?”
“The cases and all the associated evidence were transferred last August to the air force, to the Air Research and Development Command.”
“To Dayton. Was any reason provided for their sealing and transfer?”
“Yeah, you’ll love this. ‘A matter of national security.’”
“Hmm…Anything on Roswell?”
“The bureau did have an open case under the heading of ‘Aerospace Incident, Roswell, New Mexico,’ and it was from July, 1947. The problem with this one, like the others, is that it’s also been sealed and transferred.”
“When was it transferred?”
“In 1947. A class fiver with restrictions on this one too. The transfer indicates it went to a project called ‘Saint Mary.’ Stated reason, ‘A matter of national security.’”
“Saint Mary?”
“Yeah, but nothing came up under that name when I searched the computer records.”
“Hmm…”
