- Jeff,

- This article is further evidence suggesting that a stealth
aircraft's skin utilizes a radioactive material(s) to create it own ionized
slipstream to avoid radar detection. Following the September 14, 1997 crash
of an F-117 at the Middle River MD airshow, the resulting fire caused the
dispersal of unnamed hazards which caused headaches, fatigue, nausea and
diarrhea to some of the people living in the neighborhood despite an ordered
evacuation.
-
- Employees at the Skunkworks at Groom Lake burned radioactive
materials which caused long-lasting and dire health effects to the employees
there. Of course this is un-proven and the courts will not hear a
lawsuit filed on behalf of the sick former employees because the government
does not acknowledge Groom Lake's existence.
-
- Aircraft engines are hardened with radioactive thorium, wing
slat counter balances are made from depleted uranium, targeting systems
utilize small amount of americium-241, but there would be no need for a
defense contractor to burn waste materials unless it were done to permanently
dispose of secret materials - like stealth enhancing components. Unfortunately,
this method of disposal is good for national security but bad for people.

- US Joins Suits Vs Lockheed Over Kentucky Plant

- WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said
on Friday it decided to join two whistle-blower lawsuits against Lockheed
Martin Corp. alleging the firm submitted false claims while failing to
properly store and dispose of radioactive and hazardous wastes at a plant
in Kentucky.
-
- The lawsuits, originally filed in June 1999 by the Natural
Resources Defense Council, a scientist at the environmental group and three
plant employees, alleged that Lockheed Martin Energy Systems submitted
false claims for millions of dollars.
-
- The defense contractor operated the plant for the U.S.
Department of Energy from 1984 through 1998.
-
- The lawsuits alleged that Lockheed Martin Energy Systems
made false statements to the Energy Department and regulators about radioactive
and hazardous wastes and that some were improperly disposed of in landfills
at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah.
-
- The lawsuits alleged the company was required by its
contract with the Energy Department to comply with federal environmental
law.
-
- In a statement from its corporate headquarters in Bethesda,
Maryland, Lockheed Martin said, "We regret that the Department of
Justice has decided to join in these lawsuits. We strongly believe that
the allegations are without merit."
-
- The company added, "We will vigorously defend these
lawsuits, and the facts of these cases will prove that Lockheed Martin
was not involved in any wrongdoing."
-
- The lawsuits were filed under the whistle-blower provisions
of the False Claims Act. The Paducah employees who filed the action were
Ronald Fowler, Charles Deuschle and Garland Jenkins, the Justice Department
said.
-
- Under the law, the employees can receive a share of any
money recovered through the suit. The law allows the government to recover
three times its damages.
-
- The Justice Department said it decided not to join other
allegations in the lawsuits, including those that the company improperly
exposed workers to radiation hazards and introduced radioactively-contaminated
metals into interstate commerce.
-
- In a March filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Lockheed Martin said the Justice Department advised the company that it
had closed a criminal investigation into whether hazardous waste had been
properly stored and handled at the plant.
