Who is Norio Hayakawa ?
My first interest in Area 51 began in 1987 when I received from a Los Angeles-based writer named Bill Moore a copy of a satellite photo of Groom Lake taken by the Russians. He sent me a ten-page research paper on the secretive military base. I was quite fascinated by it. Subsequently I met Bill Moore at one of his lectures in L.A. In the same year, I attended a private presentation (which was held at a residence in Los Angeles) given by Bill Steinman who had written a book entitled "UFO Crash at Aztec" in which a chapter was devoted also to the mysterious base in Nevada. In October of 1988 I had an opportunity to watch an interesting 2-hour nationally syndicated TV program produced by FOX television entitled "UFO Cover-Up Live" in which Area 51 was briefly mentioned. Also in October of 1988, a researcher by the name of Tal Levesque (a.k.a. Jason Bishop) showed me an interesting ad for Amoco Oil Company that appeared on page 50 of Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine in which it was promoting a new technology based on new composite materials that would "revolutionize" the aviation industry. A weird thing was that there was a full-page color "portrait" of a grey "alien" right across from the page, i.e., on page 51. A strange synchronicity indeed! In the summer of 1989 I was listening to a late-night Las Vegas radio talk show (the Billy Goodman show, which I could catch in L.A. area) in which an alleged former government scientist named Bob Lazar was appearing almost nightly, talking about his work at a secret base just south of Area 51.
