Cosmic Disclosure: On the Other Side of the Veil of Secrecy (August 2016)
Many years before helping William Tompkins pen his autobiography, Bob Wood also worked at the same Douglas Aircraft facility. Instead of building out the Secret Space Program, his career placed him deep within the technical aspects of designing conventional aircraft and space-bound technology. But it was his deep interest in UFOs and technical prowess which gave him the opportunity to investigate how UFOs might work, despite not being given direct access to exotic materials. Eventually, the wall of secrecy crumbled and he now comes forward to share many of the secrets he has been able to uncover and authenticate.

Cosmic Disclosure: On the Other Side of the Veil of Secrecy
Season 5, Episode 16
David Wilcock: All right, welcome to “Cosmic Disclosure”. I’m your host, David Wilcock. And in this episode, I am here with Corey Goode, and I’m also here with Dr. Bob Wood.
And Dr. Bob Wood is going to be our focus. Part of the reason why is that he has been acquainted with William Tompkins since 2009 and knows a great deal about Tompkins’ testimony. In fact, he’s practically a walking encyclopedia of what Tompkins knows.
But, Bob, you also are coming into this with a lifetime of very bizarre, interesting experiences related to this whole topic of cosmic disclosure. So I just want to hand it over to you now.
And I know you said that you have some very critical autobiographical information you want to give us about yourself that will become very relevant as we go forward in your story in the timelines of what’s happened to you.
Dr. Bob Wood: Yes. It started, actually, in 1949 at the University of Colorado when I graduated.

And after then, I got a job at Douglas Aircraft Company for the summer because my father was a professor, and he was always talking with the guys who were hiring engineers.

So he just . . .
David: Douglas is the same company that William Tompkins worked for.
Wood: Exactly. It was . . .
David: Right.
Wood: Douglas, at that time, had merged to McDonnell-Douglas in 1968.
David: Right.
Wood: So my first summer job was working on missiles that day. I worked for some of the same people that later turned out Bill Tompkins was working for.
David: That’s wild.
Wood: It is wild. But actually . . .
David: Could you give us a couple of names?
Wood: Yeah. Dr. Klemperer was one of them. Wolfgang Klemperer.

David: Klemperer, right. He calls him ‘Klemp’ in the book sometimes.
Wood: That’s right. Yeah. And the other one was Elmer Wheaton.

Elmer Wheaton later became a vice president of Douglas until he got hired by Lockheed.
So after one summer job, I went to start to get my PhD, and I got my . . . I had a break, and I took another summer job and worked for some of the same guys.
But it was interesting that at that time, I looked around to see if there were any vaults [secret think tanks] or secret things going on, and I was told there weren’t any, and I didn’t ever notice any.
But it turned out that towards the end of that summer, at that same time, if I had been paying attention, I could have seen Bill Tompkins walking down the aisle.
David: No kidding.
Wood: Yeah.
David: Ha, ha, ha. Very interesting.
Wood: So from there I went on and got my PhD, and then I went to work for Douglas until they drafted me. I went to work for the Aberdeen Proving Ground for a couple of years and worked on ballistic . . . well, shell dynamics. It was a good experience.

With that behind me then, I was asked to select an area, and so I selected thermodynamics, because they were really starting to build – actually, it was the Air Force, the M-18 that Bill Tompkins worked on.

It was a Thor missile at the time, . . .
David: Right.
Wood: . . . and they worried about whether the back of this Thor missile would get hot, and so that was one of the challenges. Actually, I spent most of my time early on working on the Nike-Zeus missile.

And I actually hired Jerry Buss, of known fame now, who was a chemist, to decide how much Teflon we should put on the leading edges of the fins on this missile to keep it cool.

Well, anyway, my career went on, and I got involved in aerospace management. We managed the independent research and development program. And I got involved in the Space Station design later on.

And by 1993, I retired.
But in 1968, there was an unusual event that happened that caused me to become involved in UFOs.
David: Okay.
Wood: It was pretty simple. My boss said, “Hey, I’ve got to give a briefing to the Air Force next week. And they want to know, 10 years from now, how we would go to orbit and back.”
And I said, “Well . . . “ – just for a joke – I said, “Well, Ray, why don’t we tell them how many alleged UFOs would do it.” And he said, “That’s a great idea. Why don’t you work on that?”

So I read my first UFO book, and it was by Don Menzel. And he wrote the . . .
Corey Goode: In 1968?
Wood: 1968.
Corey: Wow!
Wood: I read my first UFO book. And I kind of concluded, “I don’t care if this guy is a famous astronomer, he’s obviously ignoring the data.” So I read more books, and the briefing went off okay.
But a year later, my boss was out of town, and his bosses had me give the usual report on how we were doing on contracts and that sort of thing. And at the end of this meeting, he said, “By the way, Dr. Wood, we don’t often see you. Tell us what you’re doing that’s interesting.”
And I said, “Well, you’re not going to believe this, but I’ve read 50 UFO books in the last year, and I have concluded that everything is certain. That is, we know that there’s aliens coming here in spacecraft. The only thing that’s not sure is whether we figure out how they work before or after our Lockheed competitor.”
And there was a moment of silence, and my boss said, “What do you think it would take to look into that?”
So for the next year and a half, actually, they gave us a half a million dollars. I hired Stan Friedman, who’s now a well-known UFO guy, to read the literature and see whether or not there was something in the literature that would tell us how they work.

We had a laboratory. We did laboratory tests. We hired a detective to interview abductees and stuff like that, which, in those days, was kind of outside the norm.
David: So what were you thinking, Bob, when you’re seeing, obviously, all this data? You’re obviously a credible, credentialed PhD. You’re looking into this data scientifically. You have a half million dollar budget in 1968 dollars.
And then you’re looking at the public and how the media is presenting this as if it’s a big farce, and it’s a joke. And, “Oh, it’s all swamp gas!” What did you feel about that at that time?
Wood: Well, that’s when the swamp gas report first came out, is actually that era.
David: Right.
Wood: It turns out that I was focused on learning something, and so I joined organizations I thought were relevant – MUFON and CUFOS. And I would up meeting James McDonald.

And so whenever he came to town, I would go to his lectures, and I became pretty aware of the work that he did.
He was the one who said, “You ought to go visit the Condon Committee and tell them what you think.”
David: Wow!
Wood: So I did. I went to the Condon Committee.
Corey: Wow!
David: Ha, ha, ha.
