UFO's and the End of the World
commentary by Jerry W. Decker
Amid recent world events, many people we know and come in contact
with have voiced concern that the end times might be upon us as
predicted in the biblical chapter of Revelations.
The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq with the subsequent increase in oil
prices brought on armed responses from the majority of world powers
directed at Iraq and the actions of Saddam Hussein.
These armed responses have included trade embargos and is likely to
lead to a condition of war, not yet decided at the time of this
writing.
In a recent meeting with Cheyenne Turner of Mufon/Dallas, she kindly
gave KeelyNet copies of newsclippings regarding a very strange UFO
related incident involving Gulf Breeze.
The documents include a memorandum from VISIT (Vehicle Internal
Systems Investigative Team) at PO BOX 890327, Houston, TX 77289-0327
announcing a meeting on August 23, 1990.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The VISIT program was to discuss the following :
1) Discussion of the MUFON 1990 Conference (held in Gulf
Breeze, Florida)
2) More interesting Gulf Breeze info (the debunkers exposed)
3) The strange case of the AWOL soldiers (with attached
newsclippings)
Six soldiers walk away from sensitive intelligence positions in West
Germany and show up half way around the world in tiny Gulf Breeze,
Florida.
How could this happen? What was their mission? These articles
raise more questions than they answer. We will discuss the
following questions and more at the next VISIT meeting.
* They were with the 701st Military Intelligence Brigade. Each
held top secret clearances, but were allowed to walk away from
Page 1
their posts and were discharged without a court martial. Is
this the new policy of the military?
* A sargeant, along with two specialists and three pfc's,
comprise a squad. Did they have a charter OTHER then what has
been advertised?
* Is the crazy religious story a cover?
* Why did Police Chief Brown receive a phone call from the
Pentagon only five minutes after his inquiry about Michael J.
Hueckstaedt? Why was he told not to question anyone in the
group?
* Why did Heuckstaedt say to the arresting officer
"you don't know what you are doing. If you
take me in you have signed my death warrant."?
* Who did they plan to kill? What was the real reason?
* How does psychic Anna Foster figure into what is happening in
Gulf Breeze?
* What will happen to the Gulf Breeze police officer responsible
for exposing the activity?
* Will the six return to Gulf Breeze to finish the job now that
they have been officially "discharged"?

SIX ARRESTED FOR DESERTING U.S. ARMY
Six US Army soldiers were taken into custody by military authorities
for being AWOL and transported to Fort Benning, Georgia last
Saturday.
The six were apprehended after one of the soldiers, Michael J.
Hueckstaedt was stopped by Gulf Breeze Police Officer Don Stevens
for a broken tail light.
Hueckstaedt had no identification and a computer check found him to
be one of six soldiers wanted for being Absent Without Official
Leave (AWOL). Four of the soldiers were found at Anna Foster's home
on McClure Drive in Gulf Breeze and one (a female) was staying at a
campsite at Fort Pickens.
When police went to the Foster home Saturday morning, the soldiers
had several duffel bags, suitcases and briefcases, and about $4,000
in cash.

***** The six belong to a group called "The End of the World"
and claim they came to this area for the "Rapture"
which they believe will take place HERE in October. ****
The soldiers have been sought by authorities since July 9th, when
they were found missing from their military intelligence unit in
West Germany.
Gulf Breeze Police Chief Jerry Brown said that no arrests were made,
and they were turned over to the CIA and FBI before going to Fort
Benning.
Michael J.Hueckstaedt, 19, is from Farson, Wyoming
The five other soldiers are :
William N. Setterberg, 20, of Pittsburgh, PA
Kenneth G. Beason, 26, of Middlesboro, Tenn
Vance A. Davis, 25, of Wichita, Kansas
Kris P. Perlock, 20, of Hudson, Wisconsin
and Annette Eccleston, 22 of Connecticut.

6 AWOL SOLDIERS SAY THEY AIMED TO KILL ANTICHRIST
Gulf Breeze - Six soldiers, reported by an unofficial military
newspaper to be on a mission to kill the Antichrist, were charged
Thursday with desertion from their intelligence unit in West
Germany, Pentagon spokesman said.
A friend also told another newspaper that one of the soldiers
arrested in this Florida Panhandle city, a hotbed for UFO sightings,
was interested in unidentified flying objects and wanted to attend a
UFO convention in nearby Pensacola.
The religious beliefs of the soldiers, described as Christian
fundamentalists, are not part of the Army's investigation, said
Major Joe Padilla, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon.
"It's pretty cut and dried. It's getting drier each day," Padilla
said. "We are not allowed to look into religious groups by statute
so we don't."
The five men and a woman, all members of the 701st Military
Intelligence Brigade at Augsburg, West Germany are being held at
Fort Benning, Ga. They were arrested Friday and Saturday after
police stopped one of them for a traffic violation.
They were charged with desertion RATHER THAN THE LESSER OFFENSE of
being absent without leave because they held top-secret security
clearances, said Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams.
Padilla said it will be up to the soldier's commanding officer to
decide whether to hold a court-martial or take lesser administrative
action.

A counter-intelligience investigation is being conducted as a matter
of routine because the six, all analysts assigned to intercepting,
identifying and exploiting foreign communications, had handled
classified material, military spokesmen say.
"There still appears to be no independent evidence of any espionage
or security related problem here," Williams said Thursday.
A member of their unit told the newspaper "Stars and Stripes" the
six were out to FIND AND DESTROY THE ANTICHRIST, the figure the
Bible says will challenge Christ. He spoke on the condition his
name would not be disclosed.
Padilla, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, Wednesday retracted an
earlier statement that the six were members of a group known as "The
End of the World."
But "Stars and Stripes" quoted the soldier from the Augsburg unit as
saying that the cult has ADDITIONAL MEMBERS IN THE AREA.
"There are others who are upset because they didn't get invited," to
go along on the search for the AntiChrist, the newspaper quoted the
soldier as saying.
Beason (one of the group) was interested in science fiction and
UFO's and very gullible, Stan Johnson told the Pensacola News
Journal for a story published Thursday. Johnson, a Morristown
photographer, said in a telephone interview that he picked up Beason
and Hueckstaedt July 6th at the McGee-Tyson Airport in Knoxville,
Tenn.
"He was one of those people who believed anything someone would tell
him," Johnson said of Beason. "The idea that he was arrested, or
that he was hanging around with cult-like grouped didn't surprise
me. He kind of live in a science fiction fantasy world sometimes."
Beason told Johnson he was going to Pensacola for a UFO convention.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) held its 21st annual symposium in
Pensacola, attracted there by the numerous sightings reported in
Gulf Breeze, July 6-8, but officials of the organization said they
couldn't say whether Beason or Hueckstaedt attended.
Gulf Breeze Police Chief Jerry Brown discounted that possibility,
saying the soldiers did not arrive in the area until July 9th.
Beason told a similar story to his sister and her husband, Caroly
and Charles Reed, when he spent the night, July 7 at their home in
Talbott, Tenn., the Knoxville News-Sentinel reported Thursday.
The Reeds said Beason had met a woman named Anna when he was
stationed in Pensacola, and she got him involved with a group that
believed the government was covering up alien visits to Earth. Part
of the group's mission was to reveal that cover-up.
Some of MUFON's members have accused the government of such a cover-
up but the organization has not made such a policy statement itself,
said Don Ware of Fort Walton Beach, the group's Eastern Regional
Director.

UFO SOLDIERS WON'T FACE COURT-MARTIAL
Six U.S. soldiers who went AWOL from intelligence posts in West
Germany and were arrested at a Florida beach known for UFO reports
won't be court-martialed. But many other questions remain.
Were the six - five men and a woman - acting on "psychic input" from
biblical figures and preparing for the world's end, as a friend of
one suggested?
Did they plan to move to the West and live "like a survivalist
group," as a police captain said he was told by two in the group?
Or was there another explanation of the events that began unfolding
when the six, who held top-secret security clearances, left the
701st Military Intelligence Brigade in Augsberg, West Germany, early
this month?
"Don't judge them yet. They have a right to defend themselves,"
said Anna Foster, at whose Gulf Breeze, Florida, home four of the
six were arrested July 14. Foster, a civilian described by
authorities as a psychic, is not charged in the case.
The Army offered the six "non-judicial punishment" - no trial by
court-martial - after an investigation by the Army Intelligence and
Security Command found no evidence of espionage.
At Fort Knox, KY., where the six were being held, Major Ron Mazzia
said they could receive reductions in pay or rank, or both, and
could be fined. Specific terms will be determined by an officer
acting as a sentencing judge.
Having lost their security clearances, the six might be discharged,
Mazzia said.
They were reported missing in West Germany on July 9th. On Friday
the 13th, Pfc. Michael Hueckstaedt was stopped in Gulf Breeze for
driving a van with non-working taillights. A computer check found
him to be absent without leave.
Army information and a search of the van revealed the whereabouts of
the five other soldiers.

6 DISCHARGED IN MYSTERIOUS AWOL STINT
Fort Knox, KY - The Army on Friday discharged six soldiers who left
their intelligence unit in Europe and went to a Florida town known
for frequent sightings of UFO's.
The soldiers were reported missing July 9th from Augsburg, West
Germany, and were arrested a few days later in Gulf Breeze, FL.
Page 5
An investigation found no evidence the soldiers from the 701st
Military Intelligence Brigade had been involved in espionage during
the time they were AWOL, said Major Ron Mazzia, a spokesman for Fort
Knox, where the soldiers were detained.
Stan Johnson of Bybee, Tenn., a friend of one of the soldiers, Spec.
Kenneth G. Beason, 26, said Beason told him they had been "chosen by
DIVINE INTERVENTION to help prepare for the end of the world, which
was supposed to occur in about EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW."
Johnson added that, "when the second coming of Christ occurred,
Jesus Christ was going to ARRIVE IN A SPACESHIP."
Gulf Breeze, where Beasom and others in the group received
training, has had many reports of UFO sightings. A symposium of the
Mutual UFO Network, concluded there July 8th, police said.
