- UFO stories don't get any wilder than this one. A Las
Vegas man has developed a cult-like following around the world by claiming
to have worked with a live extraterrestrial at Area 51.
-
- The story told by Dan Burisch is a whopper, but can he
prove any of it? George Knapp of the Eyewitness News I-Team has the story
of Dr. Dan's alien adventure.
-
- His name today is Dan Burisch. Before that it was Dan
Catselas, and when Eyewitness News first ran into him, it was Dan Crain.
"Doctor" Dan Crain, he says. But is he a doctor, and has he
really been face to face with an alien in an underground lab?
-
- This story has a little bit of everything, including
a lot of unanswered questions. When Channel 8 produced a story in 1994
about this volunteer teacher at the Boys and Girls club, he was introduced
as Dr. Dan Crain. At the time, Dan Crain, now known as Dan Burisch, was
supposedly participating in the most secret program in existence. But the
secret is now out. Burisch has a worldwide following -- websites a message
boards, books, audiotapes and DVDs.
-
- He has a publicist and a biographer, a high profile for
a secret scientist. Burisch says he worked in an underground lab at S-4
near Area 51, the same place first made public by Bob Lazar. Inside he
met an extraterrestrial named Jrod and they became pals. He also met angels
in the lab and they spoke in Hebrew.
-
- On Frenchman's Mountain, Burisch discovered the first
seeds of life on earth. Who believes this stuff? His wife Deborah for one.
She signed a sworn statement saying she too works for MJ-12, the secret
government. Family friend Marcia McDowell, another alleged secret agent,
supports the story too. It's grown more complex ever since we first heard
some of it in 1990. It's more complex now.
-
- There are photos of Burisch and his wife in military
garb saluting each other. Neither ever served in the military. Intriguingly,
they have a sticker on their windshield that allows access to Nellis AFB.
Would a real government scientist be allowed to openly dribble out government
secrets? We asked former army intelligence Colonel John Alexander.
-
- "It's highly improbable," said Col. John Alexander,
retired army intelligence. What about his PHD? Burisch says he earned his
doctorate in 1990 at Stony Brook University in New York. The school says
he was never a student there. Burisch says his records were erased. But
at the time he supposedly earned his degree in New York, records show,
he had a full time job in Las Vegas as a parole officer.
-
- He now says he flew back and forth to the school on weekends.
Ridiculous, the university says. He met his wife as a parole officer. She
was there on drug charges. She's spent 12 years in the PBX department of
the Mirage, but that's just a cover job.
-
- We asked MGM Mirage if they know they have a secret agent
working for them in a cover job. They do now. Marcia McDowell, another
secret operative, who solicited our coverage a few times, is seen in a
video as she uncovers a space probe on Frenchman's Mountain and then meticulously
dissects it's sophisticated electrical tape and rubber tubing.
-
- Someone else who believes Burisch is his mom, Dodie Crane,
although she has some doubts too. "If my son is the biggest bull****er
in the world, I want to know about it," said Dodie Crain, Dan's mom.
-
- Like everyone else in this story, Dodie declined an on
camera interview, but told us her son, whom she hasn't seen in 12 years,
is telling the truth. She's written her own book about it.
-
- For a final opinion on this story, we turned to a man
who helped to inspire it and who supposedly was in the secret program with
Burisch.
-
- "This is the biggest bull***t story I have ever
heard in my life. Anybody that actually believes this guy should be ashamed
of themselves. I never worked at Tonopah. I never met this knucklehead,"
said Bob Lazar.
-
- The sticker on the windshield is from Nellis. The United
States Air Force says it's a low level sticker, easy to get, allowing access
to the commissary, and that you can get one if you've had a relative in
the military, as Deb Burisch has.
-
- Also, Eyewitness News did talk to UNLV where Dan Burisch
really did earn a B.A. in psychology. He's listed in the alumni guide as
having that PHD from New York, but UNLV told us the alumni guide doesn't
verify someone's post graduate credentials, so just because it says PHD
in the guide means little.
-
- Dan Burisch is a smart guy and this is an interesting
story, which a lot of people seem to believe. We think it is sorely lacking
in verifiable evidence. If any surfaces, we'd like to see it.

- Response From Dan Burisch

- Hello, Jeff
-
- I just wanted to touch base with you about Robert Byrd,
the man who filed an affidavit under penalty of perjury, and who
actually confirmed my doctoral degree at the State University of
New York at Stony Brook. He has been located and he
will be interviewed by Ron Garner (rgarner@apexusa.net), for the record
and on tape. For further information, there
is an independent site (I have spoken to the person, and provided
an affidavit for him, but don't have any alliance with him) which
can provide you much more information.
-
- www.danburisch.info
-
- My affidavit may be found at the above site, together
with the clandestine photos taken of Deborah (my wife) in possession
of the SUNY SB Ph.D.
-
- It is this type of affidavit that certain people in the
ufocommunity and press don't want to ever see the light of day.
Funny, isn't it? All these docs are public, yet KLAS TV 8
couldn't find them. They were able to locate an completely
unrelated person's car, though, and spread that person's information all
over the net.
-
- This will give you a very small clue of what is coming
next year. For instance, a certain neurophysiologist now has
doubts, but before my account gained any traction...well...read
for yourself. Further, the Aviary, now spouting disinformation
about a nonexistent place called Serpo, has a now deceased acquaintance
named Tom Mack. Tom, a vetted person from Groom Lake by the same
group just mentioned, saw me at Papoose and confirmed it in a letter
before his death. We have the letter.
-
- I have attempted to attach files, but each time I do,
they are sent back via mailer-daemon for excessive size.
For further information, please also feel free to contact
-
- Bill Hamilton (xplorer2x@yahoo.com),
-
- Marcia McDowell (marcia_mcdowell@yahoo.com),
-
- or even Deborah Burisch (snowstorms61@yahoo.com).
-
- I hope to chat with you next year, Jeff. At that
time, Ron Garner will be doing all the scheduling.
