😔 Mellon: Jim Ryder of Lockheed Died from a Heart Attack Two Weeks Before We Were Supposed to Meet 😔 @ChrisKMellon in 2022: "I was supposed to meet a fellow, for example, who supposedly was in one of these aerospace companies and supposedly had been directly involved in that (reverse engineering non-human craft) activity. And we were about two weeks away from meeting when he died, when he had a heart attack, And, you know, [I] can't say, you know, whether [Ryder being directly involved in reverse engineering at Lockheed] was true or not, but that's one of the allegations." ~ Mellon in 2026: "It was a gentleman named Jim Ryder from Lockheed Martin. So, just to clarify that. And it wasn't a meeting for Lue and I, actually, I was just meeting him one off, And Jim was, I guess, probably early 70s, and sadly passed away. "I don't have any reason to believe there was foul play, other than the coincidence in timing was suspicious. I couldn't help, you know, in this world, you can't help but wonder sometimes. It's hard to know to what degree paranoia is justified. "But, it certainly...this had been the result of a long effort by my part to get in touch with him and set this up and I was very sorry to hear what happened, and also couldn't help but go to that place and wonder a little bit if there could have been some foul play. But there's no specific indication of that." (When I first heard this in 2022, I immediately thought that whoever this person was, may have been taken out. Hard not to at least consider that in UFO world. But, when I found it was Ryder, I asked around and several folks shared their opinion that there was no foul play, and it was a massive heart attack that ended his life on Memorial Day in 2018.) This is what Jay Stratton wrote about Ryder in, "Out of the Shadows." "Around this time, Jim Ryder retired and told us he was fighting cancer. I wondered, though I had no way to prove it, if his health issues were brought on by exposure to the same materials he had once wanted to move over to us - or by something more sinister. After AAWSAP came to an end, I unfortunately never had another chance to speak to Ryder before he passed."

April of 2021, Senator Reid told New Yorker: “I was told for decades that Lockheed had some of these retrieved materials.” In May of 2021, Reid told Las Vegas Sun: “I've never believed Lockheed had anything in that regard, even though a lot of people believe that - I don't.”
