AREA 51 REVISITED

Michael Riconosciuto claimed that he had made his modifications to PROMIS on the
tribal lands of the Cabazon Indians in Indio, California as part of a joint project the tribal
administrators had with a private security firm known as Wackenhut. Wackenhut provides
security services to the notorious secret airbase Area 51. After Danny Casolaro turned up dead
and his current research file missing, other notes found at his apartment later clearly indicated
his interest in this Nevada super-spook facility. The base, of course, had been around since
before it was used to develop the U2 spy plane in the late 1950s and early 1960s, later the
SR71 Blackbird and now the mysterious Aurora super-plane. As Casolaro made his notes about

it, however, it had not yet become the subject of popular lore that it is today. Nevertheless,
Casolaro devoted pages of notes to Area 51.

One theory had it that Casolaro's death had less to do with the Octopus than it did
with manufacturing fraud at Hughes Aircraft. Hughes Aircraft has a long history of exclusive
and secret deals with the US government for aerospace technologies, many almost certainly
involving Area 51. Casolaro had brushed up against this corruption in his pursuit of his
Octopus spook group. A contact he made the day before he died, Bill Turner, gave him
documentation of the fraud at Hughes. Turner noted that Casolaro added these papers to the
ever-present accordion file of current research. After they found Casolaro's body, Turner got
himself arrested on a bank robbery charge in order to remove himself from any further
involvement.

The joint venture between the Cabazon Indian tribe and Area 51's Wackenhut did
exist, at least between 1981 and 1983, and Michael Riconosciuto certainly was involved with
it at least in some capacity. A report from a task force of the sheriff's office of Riverside
County, California placed Riconosciuto at a weapons demonstration with Earl Brian ("of the
CIA") put on by the Cabazons and Wackenhut.
