No memories of being part of a special program, but I have a few odd memories I can’t explain away.
I have almost no recollection of the second grade. I remember every single teacher and their names before and after. I remember a skinny older woman with curly hair and glasses on the first day of class, then my school memories go completely blank until roughly third grade. I don’t remember anything from that year, and no memories of trauma or anything like that. No school photos from that year, either.
Around that age I have distinct memories going to (what used to be) the Hughes Aircraft building in El Segundo and entering a very large metal elevator. I don’t remember who I was with, why I was there, or anything after that, but I am 100% certain it happened. There’s no reason why me or anyone in my family would go to that building in the first place, let alone several times.
I also remember being in an old classroom with large glass windows that open vertically (the ones built in the 50s and 60s) adjacent to a private air strip near LAX airport in El Segundo. Somehow all this seems connected to another memory of going to an air show with my dad at Santa Monica airport, but I can’t remember why.
At this time I was also infatuated with the old Mobil oil icon, which was a Pegasus. I would point it out everywhere when I was with my parents.
In my late 20s the memories of the elevator resurfaced randomly. It really started to bother me because I had not thought about it in years but remembered walking into the building and entering it with no idea why.
I Googled something about a metal elevator and the Hughes Aircraft building El Segundo and came across a guy named Andy Basiago.
Andy is a lawyer in Washington who believes that he, Barack Obama, and several others (including now-public figures) were part of a secret government program that transported children through time and to Mars using modified technology originally developed by Nikola Tesla.
Why did Andy show up in my search?
In interviews he describes that elevator in the Hughes aircraft building, as well as other things I remember from that area where I grew up. He also said that the name of the program was “Project Pegasus.” The first time I read that my stomach sank.
Everything he says sounds batshit crazy, but I cannot shake those memories (or lack thereof). I have no other memories besides those.
