Boyd Bushman (1936–2014) was a senior research engineer at Lockheed Martin who worked on exotic technology programs and had patents in areas including laser technology and superconductor systems. Shortly before his death he recorded a video interview — sometimes called his "deathbed confession" — in which he displayed photographs of alien beings and craft and stated he had received extraterrestrial technology information from contacts within classified programs at S-4. In the video, Bushman described two distinct groups of alien visitors — one cooperative and one less so — and an ongoing government-alien technology exchange program, including anti-gravity propulsion systems he had personally worked on.
Career and technical background
Bushman worked at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works advanced development division, accumulating a significant patent portfolio in areas relevant to directed energy, laser systems, superconductor systems, and electromagnetic technology — a portfolio consistent with significant involvement in advanced defense research. His background was in applied physics and advanced propulsion research, which he stated gave him access to classified programs at S-4 near Area 51 in Nevada through contacts within the programmes. His patent record has been cited by researchers as corroborating at minimum his claimed career at Lockheed Martin's advanced development division, even among those who dispute his extraterrestrial claims.
Deathbed disclosure
In 2014, shortly before his death in August of that year, Bushman gave a video interview to aerospace engineer Mark Q. Patterson. In the interview, Bushman displayed photographs he claimed showed extraterrestrial craft and the bodies of non-human intelligent beings — stating that some of the beings were still alive and working with U.S. government scientists at S-4.
Bushman described the aliens in two categories: "wranglers," who were cooperative and engaged in technology exchange, and "rustlers," who were mischievous and less aligned with human interests. He stated that the alien beings were approximately four to five feet tall, had fingers and toes with a specific number of joints differing from humans, and had lifespans of several hundred years. He also described anti-gravity propulsion technology — which he stated he had worked on personally — as derived from or confirmed by extraterrestrial sources, and claimed that some alien beings were capable of remote perception and mental technology interfaces.
The photographs displayed in the interview were subsequently identified by some researchers as commercially available alien figurines purchased from toy or novelty stores[citation needed], raising doubts about at least that portion of his evidence, though supporters contended the photographs may have been supplemental illustrations rather than primary evidence.
