There is a quote of Ben Rich making its rounds on the internet. Apperantly in a lecture shortly before he died he revealed that - quote:

"We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity.... Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do."

Does anyone know if this quote is confirmed by reliable sources?

• That quote is now in the article without a source. Should it be removed?

Removed dubious quote again for lack of citation. The quote appears on fringe sites throughout the internet with no citation (or in some cases citing to this article at Wikipedia). It is very poorly sourced, dubiously credits UFOs, and meets neither the attribution standards for quotations nor for biographical facts.NavinWP 16:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I just removed it again. I will continue to remove it until a reputable source appears. My suspicion is that it's an urban legend.WolfKeeper 21:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
