Connection to the Peru UFO Crash Incident
Cherry Point was the home station of Jonathan Weygandt and his unit within MAC G28's Second Low-Altitude Air Defense Battalion. Wagant enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1995 and was stationed at Cherry Point before deploying to Peru for Operation Laser Strike in 1997. After the Peru UFO Crash Incident, Wagant was returned to Cherry Point from Peru following three weeks of segregation at his operational base. By March 1998, Wagant was discharged from the Marines at Cherry Point.
MAC G28 Marines from Cherry Point verifiably deployed to Operation Laser Strike, as confirmed by Defense Technical Information Center documentation.
Connection to the RB Whistleblower Account
Cherry Point was also the departure point cited by anonymous Marine whistleblower "RB" in his account of a classified assignment in December 1963. RB stated that he boarded a windowless plane at Cherry Point and was flown approximately three hours to an undisclosed location where he spent two weeks guarding a recovered disc-shaped craft of non-human origin. The three-hour flight radius from Cherry Point is consistent with multiple potential sites including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
