Hi, John,

Well, after another long absence , I am back.

I have some really (to me) amazing information.

I have been listening to a tape by a group named the"pixies". On their tape,

they have a song entitled "The Happening".

 One verse of it goes:

they got a ranch they call

number fifty-one

they got a ranch they call

number fifty-one

you can't see it at all

unless you're flying by

just sitting there square

baking in the sun

beneath the sky

The reference to "a ranch they call number fifty-one" (in my mind) refers to

the area fifty one near Las Vegas.

Get this second verse

They're gonna put it down

On the Vegas strip

They're gonna put it down

On the Vegas strip

They're gonna put it down

and step outside

into the lights

right outta that ship

saying HI!

If that doesn't convince you then listen to the last line of the same song:

i'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show they've come so far

,i've lived this long at least i must go and say hello.

Before I made the connection tonight, I thought the song was just gibberish

or a story sung to poke fun at rock music. Not anymore.

Ok , here are the lyrics.

The Happening (4:19)

they got a ranch they call

number 51

they got a ranch they call

number 51

you can't see it at all

`less you're flying by

just sitting there square

baking in the sun

beneath the sky

they're gonna put it down

right on the strip

they're gonna put it down

on the Vegas strip

they're gonna put it down

and step outside

into the lights

right outta that ship

saying HI!

I was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake

when they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane

I soon forgot about myself and I forgot about the brake

I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain

they were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band

across the road they were turning and headed south with me

it got so crowded on the road i started driving in the sand

my head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free

the desert turned to mud it seemed that everybody heard

everybody was remembring to forget they had the chills

then i heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird

they were getting interviewed by some Goodman whose name was Bill

i'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show

they've come so far i've lived this long at least I must go and say hello.

Hi, John,

Yes, this is David Lilly, forgive me for this duplicate entry, but I just

found some more parallels between the song and 51 and I couldn't wait until

midnight to tell you.

 1) Look closely at line 11 of the third verse "they were getting interviewed

by some Goodman whose name was Bill" I think that this refers to Bill Cooper,

KLAS-TV. Wasn't he the guy who interviewed both Lazar and Lear?

 2) This isn't much, but the reference to "there's a ranch" seems to indicate

,once again, area 51 near Groom Lake.

Right now, I'm trying to contact my friend who has some more albums by this

group. They might have some more stuff.

 I'm also trying to find KLAS's address. I'd like to see if I could pay them

to send me a copy of the original reports. (probably not, but it's worth the

try.).

Ok , delete this account, sorry about the inconvienence.

Lazar was interviewed on the Billy Goodman radio talk show. Interesting!

Correct! They who work there call it "The Ranch".

Great! This seems to point to something, not sure what. Very interesting they

would pick the topic and the details of Area 51.  Please keep me posted, and

I appreciate this!
