Operation Laser Strike was a counter narcotics operation headed up by Southern Command  in Panama. Commanded by Major Bob Cole and Master Sergeant Chris Diggons, units from 2d Marine Division (2d SRIG & 7th Comm Bn.) and 2d Marine Aircraft Wing (MACG-28, MACS-6, MWCS-28, 2d LAAD, MASS-2, & MTACS-28) were ordered to Pacullpa, Peru in April, 1996. The GO/NO GO games lasted until August before we finally went. We headed to Howard AFB in Panama to stage out of (directly attached to the Air Force’s 612th Tactical Aircraft Group) and flew to Peru in a combination of Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and Southern Air Transport (?) C-130s during the first week. Once we got there we all got busy setting up equipment and building fighting positions. We were assisted by host nation air control liaison and our security was augmented by Peruvian Air Force (FAP), all under the command of Comandante Oviedo. Our mission was to integrate into an air, land, and sea radar surveillance command and control system to identify airborne narco traffickers.

A Special Thanks to Jay Hall, Rowland at RGH-UFOs did a lot of research that article is linked in the text above and in the show notes.. Thanks to Cody in Peru, and Donny for trying to narrow down the location of the incident, The original video interview for the 2001 Disclosure Project is linked and that has great details in it. Thanks so Juan and Evan for the artwork!

Jonathan went into the Marines in 1995, and in early 1997 he was deployed to Peru in patrol at Operation Laser Strike, which was a drug running intercept program. In March he and his platoon was called out to a crash recovery, possible friendly aircraft. 5-6 Humvees went out for about three hours, then through the jungle on foot. He was up front, called point with two others, and when they came upon the crash site, it was burned through the jungle, like cutting butter with a knife.  They followed the path of the crash and came upon a teardrop, or egg shape craft, embedded in a cliff face with just the rear sticking out. Jonathan dropped his gear and climbed up to it. There was fluid leaking out everywhere, that was changing colors, and the craft was changing colors as well. Some of the fluid got on him and ruined the material of his camouflage, and he lost hair on his arm where it was on him.

He noticed damage to the craft that may have been from a Hawk missile there was a humming noise  and a recessed hole, perhaps a cockpit door. There was an arm hanging out, and he felt as though there were at least two beings, and perhaps they were communicating with him.

He had a hard time talking at all about the rest, but basically men showed up in black camouflage, took over the situation, arrested him, flew him out of there, interrogated him and threatened him for hours, days. His life was made miserable because he decided to speak about the incident with fellow serviceman.
