Hi, I hope you're doing alright. I'm looking for any information regarding The Orion saucer base in Eglin AFB and what types of experiments may have been/take place there. Thank you so much
Eglin is a well known base for several UAP sightings. 1, 2, 3, 4.
One reason I have an interest in conspiracy theories is because they mostly develop from top secret projects. People, your average citizen, is unable to explain what they have just seen or heard.
Over the years documents have been released that can provide some explanation for the origin of the conspiracy theory. As someone who does research and works with facts this is the information I have found that may have led to the Orion Saucer base being Eglin.
The Eglin saucer concept considered by North American was 70 inches in diameter, nine inches deep, and was powered by two solid propellant rockets producing 10,200 pounds of thrust. An infrared tracking unit with a "jettisonable cover for initial phases of the flight . . . was installed in its nose."
Project "Pye Wacket" (great site)
The military has in the past tested flying saucer concepts. Which has also led to many theories about UFO’s.
To answer your question I would need a bit more information. The years you are looking for information about.
Eglin is a central base for numerous experiments and is also connected to Wright-Patterson in the work they do. There is AFRL at Eglin and they collaborate with many other military programmes. Some examples: DEKE DEUCE, Bamboo Eagle, Emerald Flag, the 53 Test Management Group.
Please let me know what date range, type of information you’re seeking.
