A mesmerizing mix of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and
Philip K. Dick, Chameleo is a true account of what happened in a
seedy Southern California town when an enthusiastic and unrepentant
heroin addict named Dion Fuller sheltered a U.S. Marine who'd
stolen night vision goggles and perhaps a few top secret files from
a nearby military base. Dion found himself arrested (under the
ostensible auspices of The Patriot Act) for conspiring with
international terrorists to smuggle Top Secret military equipment
out of Camp Pendleton. The fact that Dion had absolutely nothing to
do with international terrorists, smuggling, Top Secret military
equipment, or Camp Pendleton didn't seem to bother the military. He
was released from jail after a six-day-long Abu-Ghraib-style
interrogation. Subsequently, he believed himself under intense
government scrutiny - and, he suspected, the subject of bizarre
experimentation involving "cloaking"- electro-optical camouflage so
extreme it renders observers practically invisible from a distance
of some meters - by the Department of Homeland Security.
Hallucination? Perhaps - except Robert Guffey, an English teacher
and Dion's friend, tracked down and interviewed one of the
scientists behind the project codenamed "Chameleo," experimental
technology which appears to have been stolen by the U.S. Department
of Defense and deployed on American soil. More shocking still,
Guffey discovered that the DoD has been experimenting with its
newest technologies on a number of American citizens. A condensed
version of this story was the cover feature of Fortean Times
Magazine (September 2013).
