Ross Coulthart Q&A: Whistleblowers, 'Manhattan Project 2.0' and China Lake
"Many years ago I spoke to a guy called Nat Kobitz from the US Navy Research Development. He was the head of R&D basically for the US Navy, chief geek. And I asked him about China Lake, and he admitted to me that he had been read in to certain programs, compartmentalized programs that involve the recovery of non-human craft."
Coulthart reveals that Nat Kobitz, former head of Navy Research and Development, directly confirmed to him being briefed into compartmentalized programs involving recovery of non-human craft. While Kobitz said China Lake didn't feature prominently as a development site during his tenure, his admission represents rare on-record confirmation from a senior military R&D official of crash retrieval program access.
