Bill Uhouse (William G. Uhouse, died 2009) was a former Marine Corps pilot and engineer who claimed that from the late 1950s he helped design a flight simulator for a flying disc reverse-engineered from a craft that crashed near Kingman, Arizona, in 1953.[1][2]
Career
According to accounts of his interviews, Uhouse served about ten years in the Marine Corps as a fighter pilot and four years with the Air Force as a test pilot of experimental aircraft such as the F-89, B-47 and F-102, followed by about 30 years as an engineer for defence contractors. A researcher who examined his records has confirmed his Marine Corps and Navy service and found that he had worked for Link Aviation, the maker of flight simulators; Uhouse also said he had done experimental flight testing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.[1][3]
His claims

Uhouse said that in 1958 an unnamed man invited him to work on a secret project: a simulator for a flying disc based on a craft of about 100 feet that had crashed near Kingman in 1953 and been taken to Area 51, then under construction. He said four injured occupants were taken to Los Alamos to help with reverse engineering, that he was brought in to assess the flight deck and instruments, that the craft produced its own gravitational field so there was no up or down inside, and that he met a being called "J-Rod" several times. He said he had direct knowledge of the simulator, but that the stories about the occupants at Los Alamos were told to him by others. He recorded his testimony for Steven Greer a few years before his death in August 2009.[1][4]
The Kingman story
The Kingman crash story first appeared in 1973, when a retired Nevada Test Site technician, Arthur Stansel (also spelled Stancil), said that in May 1953 his team was flown to Arizona to recover a crashed craft. Some writers have linked it to the Upshot–Knothole nuclear tests in Nevada that spring.[5]
Assessment
Uhouse's service record appears genuine, but there is no documentary evidence for the disc program or his role in it.[1][3]
