HEIGHT 611 AND BEN R. RICH

The January 1986 Height 611 story lines up with Ben Rich's account of receiving a piece of stealth skirting from a crash site in Siberia in February of 1986 (Rich & Janos, 270). Rich claims that it was part of a D-21 drone from a 1969 mission over China. The drone went off course and landed in Siberia. The timing suggests otherwise. The historical record shows that the American Ruling Class never stopped their overflight of the Soviet Union as was claimed after the 1960 shoot down of Gary Powers. It is also notable that the elements not known to be part of the Blackbird's make up are known to be used in molten salt reactors.
