Bruce Maccabee

Biography:

U. S. Navy Research Physicist Bruce Maccabee is the author of The UFO/FBI Connection, The Secret History of the Government's Cover-Up. Bruce received his Ph.D. in Physics from American University, Washington, D. C., in 1970. He was hired by the U. S. Department of Navy to be a physics researcher at what was then called the Naval Ordnance Laboratory (NOL). That name was later changed to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division where Dr. Maccabee has worked ever since. Dr. Maccabee says, "With FOIA releases and document leaks, we're learning more about what happened years ago then they knew years ago."

	UFO Cases, Skeptics, and Photos
	Sunday April 27, 2008

Retired U.S. Navy research physicist Bruce Maccabee joined George Knapp (email) to discuss his extensive research on UFOs, including international cases, his take on debunkers, and analysis of alleged photos of unidentified flying objects. On the subject of UFO cases, he talked about his research into incidents over Iran in 1976 and New Zealand in 1978. Maccabee detailed how the Iranian case featured a mysterious craft which disabled the controls of an Iranian military jet flying nearby. Talking about the New Zealand case, he said it received so much attention that even Walter Cronkite covered it on the CBS Evening News. On that night, Cronkite changed his signature sign-off to "and that’s the way it is ... or is it?" Expressing dismay with UFO skeptics, Maccabee put forth his "two rules for debunkers," the first being "any explanation is better than none." The second rule states "if the first explanation doesn’t work, try another one." He described this modus oper ... More

	UFO Cases & Tesla
	Thursday March 30, 2006

Researcher Dr. Bruce Maccabee discussed several UFO cases he has analyzed in depth as well as his study of Tesla's works. A 1976 incident in Iran involved jet fighters chasing a unknown bright object which apparently disabled the jets' electronics, he reported. The 2004 episode in which Mexican Air Force pilots documented strange lights may actually have involved two different phenomena, Maccabee said. One large object caught on radar may have been truly anomalous, but he suspects that the smaller set of bright lights (seen on the video below) probably had ground sources— namely, distant gas-burnoff flames from oil wells.Maccabee's interest in the life and works of Nikola Tesla led him to create a literary work about him, titled The Lightningmaster, which presents the fictional premise that Hitler's spies stole Tesla's defensive weapons. Whether Tesla actually created a beam weapon capable of knocking planes out of the air remains speculative, but it's likely he developed the ... More
