It was a press release from +the CHAIRMAN OF THE NORWEGIAN JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, A +NG GENERAL. It stated that a flying saucer had intruded +into the Norwegian air space and had been forced down by the +Norwegian Air Force. The flying saucer crashed on a small +island off the coast of Norway and a special team with +experience in these matters had been dispatched from the +United States to help recover the wrecked craft........... +The following day the same General released another story +stating that the whole thing was a mistake.

Biased one-sided investigation + + 1. The principal investigators have made public statements auth- + enticating the photographs prior to the conclusion of the investi- + gation. (Attachment #1, "For the Record" dated April 25, 1988) + + 2. Negative aspects of the reported events in and around Gulf + Breeze, Florida have been restricted and covered-up by principal in- + vestigators. In fact, the investigators have actually taken sides + with the photographer of the objects to the point of furnishing that + photographer with internal correspondence pertaining to the investig- + ation and research of the reported events. (Attachment #2, corres- + pondence referenced or distributed on a limited basis.) + + +B. Questionable factors concerning principal witness/es + + 1. The principal witness made his initial report to the _Sentinel_ + newspaper; not to an official agency such as the police department, + for whatever reason he may give. This is a factor always considered + when reviewing a UFO report. In the Hickson/Parker case, for exam- + ple, the two witnesses went first to Keesler AFB, Mississippi and + then to the local police department. (Report content) + + 2. No known person independent of the principal witness has report- + edly observed the same object/s, despite the number of photographs + taken, in presence of the photographer. + + 3. The witness has been writing and submitting manuscripts to Mr. + Budd Hopkins' agent, Ms. Phyllis Wender, for possible publication of + a book. (Correspondence from Mr. Donald Ware, Mr. Budd Hopkins and + verbal confirmation by the photographer) + + 4. Some residents in the Gulf Breeze, Florida area have related a + number of disturbing incidents in regard to the principal witness + that causes concern to several investigators and researchers in the + UFO phenomenon community. One example is a statement alleged to have + been made during the summer of 1987 by the witness: "The Ultimate + Prank". (Interview with sources by four witnesses.) + + 5. The witness has not impressed me, as well as other investigators + and researchers, of having had a truly traumatic experience. (De- + rived from several personal visits with the witness,a review of a + fairly lengthy video tape and investigation report content) + + +C. Conflicting and inconsistent characteristics to actual known pat- + terns of the UFO phenomenon + + 1. The area in which the majority of related experiences are said + to have taken place is a heavily populated residential and business + location. The great majority of high quality UFO encounters occur in + rural areas away from such populated areas. + + 2. The number of reports made by local residences were prompted pri- + marily by the news media (assisted by the principal investigators). + Flaps or waves (large distribution of sighting reports over a geo- + graphical area) created by the phenomenon itself cover a larger area + than what has occurred in the Gulf Breeze/Pensacola reports. This is + additional evidence that the reports were primarily generated by the + news media although some of the independent sighting reports may + very well be legitimate reports. + + 3. Although one experience related by the witness involved an "at- + tack" by the UFO as it moved over and in front of his vehicle (in an + isolated location for that particular incident) there were no E/M + effects reported. Also, the progression of events are dissimilar to + other low level encounters in higher quality cases. + + 4. Repeated sightings and experiences related by the witness are + similar to other questionable reports and "contactee" claims. In + most high quality reports the witness experiences a single short + duration encounter. In longer term encounters the witness/es often + relate a time and/or memory lapse following the experience. + + 5. Repeated abilities by the witness of being able to resist the + anomaly (UFO/occupants) have been claimed. This is contrary to the + results of studies in the field. + + 6. Several similarities with Mr. Whitley Strieber's book _Commun- + ion_ have been found. The most curious similarity is the related + smell of "Cinnamon" with the Gulf Breeze report which can be found + on Page 19 of Mr. Strieber's book. This is the only known reference + to that smell in UFO literature to date. It is also of interest to + note that the book _Communion_ was released during the winter/spring + of 1987 and that on page 11 of Mr. Strieber's book he states: "I + have never seen an Unidentified Flying Object." + + 7. The abundance of photographs taken by the witness is a negative + aspect in itself contrary to the actual exhibits of the UFO phenom- + enon. Most high controversy reports involve a large number of pic- + tures -- especially when the photographer claims to be a contactee. + + 8. The majority of high-quality photographs depicting disc or vert- + ically positioned cylindrical-shaped objects do not exhibit propul- + sion units as shown in the Gulf Breeze, Florida photographs. + + 9. The objects depicted in the Gulf Breeze photographs are always + tilted in a manner showing a portion of the base but never the top + towards the camera. This is also a curious feature because of the + number of photographs taken. + + +D. Questionable factors concerning the photographs + + 1. The first 5 photographs taken on November 11, 1987 depict a + rapidly darkening of the sky that is not consistent with the 3-4 + minute duration that the witness related. + + 2. Accurate cloud movement data for the altitude depicted has not + been completed although there are questions concerning the speed of + the clouds in the first 5 pictures. Mr. Ray Stanford (PSI) informed + me this date that he has reinstated has analysis of weather data and + that information supported by documents from weather bureau stations + will be provided in the near future. + + +E. Inherent flaws with the depicted object/s + + 1. The circular base at the bottom of the object is tilted in a + manner that creates a non-symmetrical ellipse. An ellipse must al- + ways be symmetrical. There are, however, certain factors caused by + the atmosphere and photographic lens that may reduce imaging the + true symmetry of an ellipse. + + 2. There is an ambient light on the entire surface of the object + depicted in the first 5 photographs (especially in photograph no. 5) + that can not be easily attributed to sky light (reflected from + clouds at a distance), the object itself, the moon, the sun, or + local utility lighting. This indicates the possibility of artificial + illumination by the photographer. + + 3. There is a distinct flaw at the base of the object on the out- + side edge of the rim. This is evident in photograph numbers 11, 14, + and 17. + + 4. In photograph number 16 inside the bottom base of the object a + circular light is visible. There is a dimmed area visible at one + portion of that circular light which is similar to a kitchen fluor- + escent light where an electrical connection may be. Mr. Ray Stanford + (PSI) is conducting comparative research with such lighting fix- + tures. + + 5. There is possible evidence of an overlap between the object and + a tree in photograph number 7. The object appears to be in front of + the tree or integrated with the tree itself. Dr. Willy Smith is con- + ducting analysis of this photograph as well as others. + + 6. The object depicted in the first 5 photographs appears to be non- + symmetrical; that is, the upper and lower portions of the object are + off-center from one another. This may be caused by reflections off + of a glass surface or another form of medium between the object and + the lens of the camera. + + 7. According to Dr. Willy Smith (UNICAT Project) there is at least + one "window" that does not line up horizontally with adjacent "win- + dows" on the object. + + 8. The spacing between the "windows" on the object are not propor- + tional to one another horizontally. This is obvious to the unaided + eye and measurements reveal mathematical inconsistencies contrary to + good geometry. + + +Robert D.

My +involvement in your local sightings case has been quite extensive +with well over 100 hours of research and telephone interviews +with investigators, witnesses, photographers, meteorologists, path- +ologists, technologists and the media. I've been reporting the events +on radio in Baltimore and have included "live" interviews with Ed, +Duane Cook and others. I have battled the skeptics and have +reported my findings to the UFO Intelligence Community. During +this period of time, I have had to investigate numerous sightings of +UFO activity in the Annapolis Bay Bridge area which has served to +limit my otherwise total involvement in the Gulf Breeze Sightings. + Please be assured that not all "distant experts" are scientifically +critical of the extraordinary events that have been occuring in your +peninsula city. Before getting too far into this letter, allow me to set +the record straight on one issue of significance to no one by myself. +Mr. R--- S------- is not a resident of Annapolis, Maryland. You +remember RS, the author of a report with a Strange Breeze blowing +through his head whose Psychic Premonitions lead him to believe +that The Sightings were all an elaborate hoax. Mr. RS resides and +receives his mail in College Park, Maryland, some 35 miles from the +quaint little peninsula capitol of the state of Maryland which so +happens to be the city where I call home. And so now you see the +reason for my interest in setting the record straight. + It should be noted that statistically speaking, there are now on +record over 50 sightings of UFO activity in the Gulf Breeze area that +have no connection to the noted photographer Ed. There are now +on record five photographers of UFO's only one of which has not +been in direct contact with MUFON investigators. There is now re- +ported to be a second video tape of a moving and hovering UFO; +the photographer is in no way related to Ed. And, there are over +100 witnesses of sightings who have asked to file reports, with +some accounts involving five and six witnesses. + Remember the "Jan Tide" with the funny looking blimp of +radar equipment floating about in Pensacola Bay that was suppose +to leave in late January or early February? Well you may have +noticed that it is still there over 90 days later. And, in case no one +has noticed, there is now a similar companion vessel out there +with the insignia NASA on the side. Let's also not forget about that +cute little Army vehicle with the 150-foot telescoping RADAR +globe that had to be moved out of Ft. Pickens due to excessive +curiosity of visitors. A civilian employee of Pensacola NAS has +reported that there are now 18 of those RADAR vehicles operating +in the Gulf Breeze area. + What does all of this mean? We're checking the records, but +it is doubtful that there has been a significant increase in drug +smuggling activity in the area. Why has the Network News Media +taken such a hands-off approach to reporting these events outside +of the Pensacola area? Is there Government INTEREST in this case +of UFO activity? Is the Government turning some subtle screws to +clamp down on exposing what's really happening here? If so, +WHY? The answer may lie somewhere in the MJ-12 documents +that I've enclosed with this letter. These documents have been +available for over a year now, and have been widely published in +their entirety in (among others) The Danville Newspapers in +Pennsylvania and at least one major newsletter out of Cranston, +Rhode Island. Experts who have researched these documents +thoroughly say they are authentic. A memo from President +Truman makes direct reference to the MJ-12 operation. There +is more, much more, but this should be enough to encourage any +doubters out there that UFO's are REAL. Their purpose is now +fundamentally known. We may be powerless to stop it, although +some experts feel otherwise. + A letter to the President of the United States was mailed today +along with correspondence to several members of congress and +the Senate. The purpose is to seek official help in matters related +to the Gulf Breeze Sightings. Matters that involve the purpose +behind the visitations. Help is very much needed here. Although +exceptionally competent as I stated in my report to the UFO +Intelligence Community on April 21, 1988, there are but less than +a handful of part-time qualified investigators available in the +area to handle the massive workload. Scientific monitoring and +evaluation by civilian technologists is all but vacant here, except +for the exhaustive efforts of Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D. The +reassuring hand of Budd Hopkins has been quite welcome therapy +for those in need, but it is not nearly enough. + Will help be on the way? We'll keep you posted as the gears +and cogs of our bureaucracy oil up for action. The critics and +skeptics will not be able to sweep this intrusion under the carpet +with the guise of a hoax for long.

The SR first flew about 25 years ago. Twenty years or so before +that, the hottest thing in th eair was the 450 mph P-51 Mustang. Today, there +is Aurora, the codename given to a methane-powered, hypersonic, +strategic-reconnais-sance aircraft capable of Mach 7 (5,000 mph) speed in the +250,000 foot regime. Aurora has a three-man crew and has been operational +since the mid-1980s, after a testing period in the Nellis Range. It is +refueled after conventional takeoff by a specially rigged KC-135Q tanker jet, +and can fly from Nellis to Kadena Air Force Base in Japan in less than two +and a half hours. Aurora first came to public attention in 1985, when an +unclassified procurement document disclosed its existence. Disclosure +heightened speculation that the system was a stealth fighter or bomber, and +program managers were happy to play along. Aurora's budget increase from +$80 million in FY 86 to $2.3 billion in FY 87 was unprecedented, given that: +(a) black-project budget figures are normally withheld; and (b) $80 million +is very little for development, and $2.3 billion is a lot for operations. +As for "UnFunded Opportunities," these are programs dealing with technology +levels so advanced that one Air Force officer involved in SR-71 development +said: "We are flight-testing vehicles that defy description. To compare them +conceptually to the SR-71 would be like comparing Leonardo da Vinci's +parachute design to the space shuttle." Other officers are similarily +emphatic about the nature of these new systems. "We have things that +are so far beyond the comphrehension of the average aviation authority as to +be really alien to our way of thinking," says one retired colonel. Rumour +has it some of these systems involve force-field technology, gravity-drive +systems, and "flying saucer" designs. Rumour further has it that these designs +are not necessarily of Earth human origin - but of who might have designed them +or helped us to do it, there is less talk. "Let's just put it this way," +explained one retired Lockheed engineer. "We have things flying in the Nevada +desert that would make George Lucas drool." (Editor's note and conclusion: +The Air Force has had a unit at Nellis for several years; its name: Alien +Technology Center. The first question is, do you think they are studying +Mexicans? The center is rumored to have obtained alien ( not earth ) +equipment and, at times personnel to help develop our new aircraft star wars +weaponry, etc. Yes, I know I sound crazy, but the rumour is aufully solid! +The Alien Technology Center is for real. Something remarkable has caused the +Russians to suddenly want to play ball, and I personally believe this could be +it. Sure, it sounds strange, but the most advanced known airplane in today's +world (SR-71) was secretly flying in 1963-64.

At that meeting, there were many + new age types, yet two presenters really caught my interest. + + Mary and Dean Hardy of Allegan, Michigan lectured on the ongoing + work she and Dean had been carrying out with respect to pyramid + energy. At first, I had much trouble accepting what I was hearing + but when a slide was shown of a pyramid emitting a double helix beam + of energy when excited by a Tesla coil, I was hooked. + + Mary frequently referred to an energy which she called "TACHION". I + asked for clarification and she said the word was coined by Kenneth + Killick to describe an effect he had investigated involving "tacky + ions". This is by no means the faster than light particles known as + TACHYONS. Kenneth has the ability to see and manipulate energy of + various sorts and worked with the Hardy's and others for many years. + + After that lecture so many years ago, Mary and Dean have become good + friends and valuable contacts. When they visit Dallas, they often + stay at my house and we discuss many subjects. + + Mary and Dean have written two excellent books, Pyramid Energy and a + revised edition available from them at the address at the end of + this file. It is one of the best books on pyramid energies that I + have read primarily because it involves the use of energy to form + what has been termed "Standing Columnar Waves". It also deals with + patterns that seem to influence energy for specific effects. + + Doug Benjamin is an energy researcher who has investigated geometric + angles derived from Egyptian sources and actual experiments. These + angles are basically 3 sided pyramids (2 dimensional) which + correspond to specific organs of the body. When properly used, they + can improve the energy level and thus the health of the targeted + organ. + + Doug has known and worked with the Hardy's for many years and had a + photograph of the pyramid slide that so fascinated me. He kindly + gave us a copy of this photo for our archives. Thanks to the + + Page 1 + + + + + + efforts of Ron Barker, we now have this image scanned in and + available for study and hopefully duplication. + + An interesting story about Doug happened at a Global Sciences + Congress in Denver in 1989. He and I were talking about several + subjects and he pulled what appeared to be a ceramic tile from his + pocket. Doug asked if the tile looked familiar and I remarked that + it looked like a heat tile from the space shuttle. + + Doug said it had an unusual history in that he had "bribed" some + Egyptian government officials to allow him access to a non-tourist + area. That area was of much interest to him as it consisted of 3 + pyramids which turned out to be connected by a single tunnel. + + He then drew a diagram of it and asked what I thought it might + represent. + + Ziggurat style + /\ /\ /\ + / \ /__\ / \ + / \ /____\ / \ + / \ /______\ / \ + ___/________\_________/________\_________/________\___ + | | | | | | + | |_______________| |_______________| | + |________________________________________| + + Doug said the pyramids on the left and right were normal pyramids + while the center one was a ziggurat (stepped). Now if energy was in + fact somehow received or transmitted by such a stepped pyramid, it + would function as a lens commonly termed a FRESNEL. + + Therefore, it appeared to be some form of SCALAR INTERFEROMETER with + the left and right pyramids acting as either transmitters or + receivers and the center acting as a concentrating lens or targeting + lens. + + These tiles lined the connecting corridors between all three + pyramids and would seem to be some form of channel for a very high + intensity energy. + + Interestingly enough, in Mary and Dean's many trips to Egypt, they + have found several interior anomalies in the Cheops pyramid that are + commonly known, yet from their research, they have come up with a + new twist on what these anomalies were produced by or used for. + + I will not go into great detail as it is covered quite well in their + fascinating book, however, Mary and Dean feel that the Ark of the + Covenant was an energy accumulator that was used in conjunction with + the pyramids. They cite a mysterious channel in one large room of + Cheops which would perfectly fit the Ark. But the best twist yet is + a recessed chamber which is cut into the wall in such a fashion that + the Ark would fit directly in the largest lower space. That chamber + is stepped in a pyramid type fashion also and is marked with + SPIRALLING SCORCH marks that run to the top of the chamber! + + Mary and Dean believe that the Ark was charged and placed into this + recessed chamber. When the Ark was triggered to release its + + + Page 2 + + + + + + accumlated energy, it discharged upwards and formed the spiralling + configuration that is now seen as the scorch marks on the wall. + + The scanned image of the Hardy1.GIF file shows something quite + fascinating with regard to such a comparison of the Ark (Tesla Coil) + placed in a pyramid structure to produce this Double Helix + spiralling energy emanating from the tip. + + The original photo was taken by Dr. J.D. Nelson of the University of + Wyoming. From the limited information we have concerning how it was + done, the pyramid shape is made of soldered copper sheet, possibly + with a crystal placed at the apex. + + The Tesla coil is placed so that the electrical emission occurs at + the 2/3's power point of the pyramid. We do not know the voltage + though we think it is approximately 200,000 Volts. + + Dean says he thinks that the light curtain that projects from the + pyramid due to the Tesla coil arcing is NOT acrylic sheet but that + the pyramid is supported by acrylic columns. + + It would seem that acrylic sheet would help to concentrate the ions + and further intensify the energy emissions, so there is room for + experiment here. + + Also note that this photo was taken in a perfectly dark room and + with a time exposure of about 1 to 3 minutes, (our information + regarding the technical details is very limited). + + Some other points of speculation about possible ways of duplicating + and or optimizing this phenomenal experiment : + + 1) Use a tunable Tesla coil and try various frequencies for + different or more pronounced effects. + + 2) Try other types of metal than copper or even use alloys or + layered sheets. + + 3) Try a crystal on the apex, various types and/or shapes. + + 4) Try to redirect or channel the double helix energy through a + wire or conduit. + + 5) Arrange to bombard plants to see if the energy is beneficial + or destructive to living tissues (this might serve as the + ULTIMATE MWO, see MWO1 on KeelyNet). + + 6) For those familiar with Reich's Orgone Energy, such a hybrid + might produce bizarre and even hazardous effects, so be + careful. + + Just one word of warning, we have information that leads us to + believe that crystals used in conjunction with high voltage energy + sources might be hazardous if the apexes of excited crystals are + pointed towards living tissue, so TAKE THIS AS A WARNING! + + We urge further experiments and sharing of your findings in such + areas.

Sheriff Bunn sent me 16 +neatly-typed "Investigation Reports" about cattle mutilations that +had taken place in his county between May and December. Over half +occurred in a remote valley called Nounan. Only eighty people live +there. Ranching is their main income source, and cattle are +precious. Disease and predators are old and well-understood +enemies. + + What descended on Nounan, Idaho in the summer and fall of 1989 +was not understood-and it scared people. Bloodless and precise +cuts-that's what bothers people. Officer Gregg Athay wrote in his +mutilation report, "There were no visible signs of the cause of +death. It appeared that only the soft tissues (nose, lips and +tongue) were gone off the head and four nipples off the bag. Again +there was no blood on the hair and ground." + + No veterinarian report was made on that cow. But a month earlier, +Dr. Charles Merrell at the Bear Lake Animal Hospital examined a +dead Hereford cow. Dr. Merrell wrote after his examination: "Some +time between approximately 8 p.m. (August 31, 1989) and 7 a.m. 1 +September, the anus, vagina to include uterus and ovaries and all +four teats (one teat deeply incised, the others shallow cuts) were +removed by knife cuts around these tissues. There were no signs of +injury and no blood to be found on the ground. " A neighbor, +Bernice Laughter, said she saw lights in that area about 2 a.m. on +September 1. + +Disks reported + + Throughout the history of animal mutilations, since 1967, there +have been numerous eyewitness accounts of large, glowing disks or +"silent helicopters " over pastures where dead animals are later +found. One Waco, Texas rancher said he encountered two four-foot +tall, light green-colored "creatures " with large, black, slanted +eyes, carrying a calf which was later found dead and mutilated. In +1983, a Missouri couple watched through binoculars as two small +beings in tight-fitting silver suits worked on a cow in a nearby +pasture. The alien heads were large and white in color. Nearby, a +tall, green-skinned "lizard man" stood glaring with eyes slit by +vertical pupils like a crocodiles's. Several hypnosis sessions with +various UFO abductees have produced information suggesting that the +alien intruders are using the tissues and blood fluids for genetic +experimentation and sustenance. + + One Missouri woman, who has experienced repeated encounters with +small grey beings that have large, black eyes, sid the creatures +told her, "We use substances from cows in an essential biochemical +process for our survival." In the 1989 continuing harvest, over +half of the Idaho mutilations were young calves. One mutilated +calf, found December 24, north of Downey, Idaho, was found lying on +its back with the navel, rectum and genitals neatly cut out of the +steer's white belly. No blood was found anywhere. (See photo, p. +18.) This steer calf was taken for an autopsy to Dr. Chris Oats, +D.V.M., at the Hawthorne Animal Hospital. Dr. Oats checked all the +vital organs and was unable to determine the cause of death. During +the autopsy, a sharp cut was found in the right chest area, and Dr. +Oats discovered that a main artery had been severed under the chest +wound. + + She was surprised that "the steer had lost a large amount of +blood, but [she] could not understand where it went to. " There was +no blood on the steer or on the ground. Dr. Oats also determined +that the steer had not been dragged by the neck or tied up around +the feet. + + Residents of southern Idaho weren't alone in their fear and con- +fusion about the mutilations. William Veenhuizen woke up on July +17, +1989 to find his finest cow mutilated about 100 yards from his +farmhouse in Maple Valley, Washington, southeast of Seattle. The +six-year-old female was due to calve in about three weeks. But +mutilators had cut away a smooth oval section of the cow's mouth, +removed a section of jaw with teeth, excised the tongue and cut out +the entire udder, vagina and rectal area. The calf was still inside +the belly. + + Something woke Mr. Veenhuizen up around I a.m. that day, he +remembers. He even put his shoes on and went outside, but he +couldn't see or hear anything out of the ordinary. He was so upset +after the mutilation, he started keeping the rest of his animals +inside the barn.

Rancher Ron Bartels told me, ". . . after several days, +there had been no predation, and with the number of coyotes we now +have in this area, they completely strip a carcass very quickly." +But nothing touched the strangely cut cow.

Doty, + formerly attached to District 17 Air Force Office of Special + Investigations (AFOSI) at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, + New Mexico. Sgt. Doty retired from the U.S. Air Force on + October 1, 1988. + + How do I know that Doty is "Falcon"? During a recent telephone + conversation, Linda Moulton Howe told me that when Sgt. Doty + invited her to his office at Kirtland AFB in early April 1983, + and showed her a purportedly authentic U.S. Government document + on UFOs, he identified himself as code-name "Falcon" and stated + that it was Bill Moore who had given him that name. + + Also, in early December 1988, a ranking member of the production + team responsible for the "UFO Cover Up? -- Live" television + documentary confirmed that Doty is "Falcon". This same individual + also identified the second MJ-12 source who appeared on the + program, "Condor", as Robert Collins who was, until recently, a + Captain in the U.S. Air Force. Like Doty, he was stationed at + KAFB when he left the service late last year. + + Both Doty and Collins deny any involvement in the MJ-12 affair. + However, Linda Howe has issued a sworn affidavit, agreeing to + testify under penalty of perjury, relating to the events during + the course of her meeting with Richard "Falcon" Doty at KAFB in + 1983 (Enclosures A and B). Thus far, Doty has *not* issued a + sworn affidavit, or agreed to testify under penalty of perjury, + to re-enforce his denial that the events of his meeting with + Howe occured as she has described them. + + For the moment, I will not identify the "UFO Coverup? -- Live" + source who identified Doty as "Falcon" and Collins as "Condor". + I do, however, encourage others to independently attempt to + secure confirmation of the statements that he has already made. + At least two producers connected with the documentary know the + facts. + + + + QUESTIONS + --------- + + Now that "Falcon" and "Condor" have been identified, it seems + prudent to examine the past activities of Richard Doty and Bob + Collins to see whether those activities tend to add to, or + detract from, the credibility of the MJ-12 scenario that they + have so vigorously promoted within the ufological community. + That is, do their actions reflect a genuine attempt to release + authentic above top secret information to the public or, on the + other hand, suggest a disinformation campaign designed to + confuse and mislead? + + Let's begin with Doty. Sgt. Richard Charles Doty first received + widespread attention after he wrote the now well-known AFOSI + Complaint Form relating to UFO sightings near Kirtland AFB in + 1980 (Enclosure C). This document, typed and signed by Doty, + takes on new significance in the light of an incident known as + the "Weitzel Hoax". Briefly summarized, this odd tale unfolded + as follows: In 1981, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization + received an anonymous letter from an individual who claimed to + be a USAF airman assigned to the 1550th Aircrew Training and + Testing Wing at Kirtland AFB (Enclosure D). The writer further + claimed to have had a rather dramatic UFO sighting, together + with a Craig Weitzel and others. The letter relates that Weitzel + reported the sighting to a "Mr. Dody" (sic) at Kirtland AFB OSI. + + Researcher Benton Jamison located and contacted Weitzel in 1985 + (Enclosure E). Weitzel stated that he did indeed report a UFO + sighting to Sgt. Richard Doty in 1980, but that the actual + incident in no way resembled the CEIII experience described in + the anonymous letter. Weitzel also denies that he was subsequently + contacted by a mysterious individual who demanded that he turn + over any photographs that he might have taken of the UFO, as the + letter claims. + + So, it would appear that the writer of the anonymous letter, + whomever he was, took a real event and greatly embellished it + for some reason. + + And why is this letter so significant as regards questions about + Sgt. Richard Doty's credibility as a source for allegedly secret + government documents? Simply because careful analysis of the + anonymous letter reveals that it was almost certainly typed on + the same typewriter used by Doty to complete the 1980 OSI + Complaint Form. + + Enclosure F is a report by researcher Brad Sparks which address + typeface irregularities and stylistic traits that are identical + in both the anonymous airman's letter and Sgt. Doty's report. + Actually, Spark's typeface analysis is incomplete. In addition + to the irregular "u" that he identifies, it can be seen that the + letters "gh", as in the word "sighting", are jammed together in + identical fashion in both the letter and the report. Lower case + "o" is also jammed against various letters that follow it in + the "Weitzel" letter and Doty's Complaint Form. + + A professionally-conducted analysis of these flaws should be + able to determine, with a reasonable degree of certainty, whether + an "anonymous airman" used Doty's typewriter to compose his + overdrawn tale. If this fact can be established then two obvious + questions arise: 1) How and why did the unidentified airman + from the 1550th Aircrew Training and Testing Wing gain access to + Sgt. Doty's writer at OSI? 2) On the other hand, did Doty himself + type the letter and, therefore, attempt to perpetrate a hoax for + some unknown reason? + + Because it has been established that Richard Doty is "Falcon", + the chief source for the MJ-12 material, it now seems imperative + thoroughly investigate this incident to resolve these unanswered + questions. The second question, in particular, is of obvious + importance. Perhaps the Fund For UFO Research, which has recently + solicited contributions to further investigate the MJ-12 affair, + would consider funding an expert typographical analysis of both + the anonymous letter and Doty's Complaint Form to determine + whether or not there is a link between the two. + + Even more disturbing than the implications of the "Weitzel Hoax" + is an incident that raises the strongest doubts about Richard + Doty's credibility as a source of information and documents + relating to the U.S. Government's involvement with UFOs. Infor- + mation about this incident comes from Dr. Bruce Maccabee and + links Doty to the so-called Ellsworth AFB hoax. According to + Maccabee, Bill Moore has acknowledged that Richard Doty confessed + to forging the document that describes the alleged events + connected with the Ellsworth case (Enclosure G). Doty apparently + claims that the UFO incident there actually occurred, just as + described in the document, and that he only wanted to bring it + to the public attention. He, therefore, proceeded to type the + "document" himself, incorporating the "facts" that he claimed + to know to be true, and then released the bogus report to + various researchers. Enclosure H is an expose written by Bob + Pratt, and published in the January 1984 issues of the *MUFON + Journal*, describing his investigation of this hoax. + + If it can be established, beyond any doubt, that Richard Doty + forged the Ellsworth AFB document, what would that say about + his credibility as a chief source for the MJ-12 material, under + the guise of "Falcon"? + + + + MORE QUESTIONS + -------------- + + In addition to the serious questions raised by the "Weitzel" + letter and the Ellsworth AFB hoax, there also exist fundamental + discrepancies between information provided by "Falcon" and the + "facts" contained in the so-called Eisenhower briefing paper. + + The Briefing Document (Enclosure I) was purportedly written by + alleged MJ-12 member Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, in November + 1952, for presentation to then President Elect Dwight D. + Eisenhower. Among other things, it states that two UFOs had + crashed, one in July 1947, near Roswell, New Mexico; the other + in December 1950, on the Texas-Mexico border. + + Linda Howe states, however, that when Sgt. Doty invited her to + his office at Kirtland AFB OSI, in April 1983, he provided her + with information that contradicts this version of events. Howe + states that Doty confirmed the existence of a secret government + group called MJ-12 and then opened a desk drawer and produced + a document entitled "Briefing Paper for the President for the + President of the United States". (*Not* the Eisenhower document). + + Howe states that she was allowed to look through the alleged + "Briefing Paper" but told not to take notes. She states that a + part of the document was a catalog of crashed UFO cases, + including one near Aztec, New Mexico in 1948 (or '49). + + Now, if the *Eisenhower* briefing paper is genuine and was + indeed presented to Ike in November 1952, why was no mention + of the Aztec crash contained in it? Is it plausible that the + soon-to-be president would be let in on a secret of paramount + importance --that of alien visitation-- but not be given this + important information? Why would he be told about two UFO + crashes but not about a third? Why would the Aztec crash, if + it did occur, be any less significant than the other two + cases mentioned in the briefing paper? + + In short, if the briefing paper that Sgt. Doty showed to + Linda Howe was genuine, what does that say about the accuracy + (and authenticity) of the Eisenhower document? If, on the + other hand the former was bogus and was meant to mislead + Howe for some reason, what does that say about Richard "Falcon" + Doty's reliability as a source for MJ-12 material as a whole? + + At the risk of being redundant, may I again point out that + Linda Howe has sworn out an affidavit indicating a willingness + to testify under penalty of perjury, as to the truthfulness of + her statement relating to her meeting with "Falcon" at Kirtland + OSI. + + About Robert "Bob" Collins, I know very little. I have + established at the time of his departure from the U.S. Air + Force, he was assigned to the Plasma Physics group at Sandia + National Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB. Linda Howe + states that in November 1987, Collins was "frantically" trying + to get her to meet with him in Albuquerque. At that meeting, + also attended by John Lear, Collins showed the two some MJ-12 + documents, primarily relating to a live alien allegedly held + captive by the U.S. Government. According to Howe, Collins + stated that he had worked "behind the scenes" with Bill Moore + for years. + + + + MOORE QUESTIONS + --------------- + + So, how does Mr. Moore fit into the MJ-12 jigsaw puzzle? On + the face of it, he appears to be just a UFO researcher who has + been approached by questionable government sources. I have + information, however, that raises doubts about his public image + as merely a "civilian" researcher. Indeed, it appears as if he + may be working (or have worked) for one of the U.S. intelligence + agencies. I base this statement on the following information: + + In December 1985, I read an article by Barry Greenwood about an + allegedly ultra-secret government group called "MJ-12". The + article was based on information provided by researcher Lee + Graham. In March 1986, I met with Mr. Graham at his home, in + the hope that he would elaborate on the information contained + in Greenwood's article. I found Graham to be open, honest, and + sincere. While I do not agree with many of his conclusions + regarding MJ-12, I know that he is definitely not the "kook" or + "space cadet" that some have branded him. On the contrary, his + statements to me that evening were logical and down-to-earth. + I simply disagree with some of his premises. + + As we talked, Lee provided me with copies of some of the + "documents" that have come to be associated with the MJ-12 + affair, including the "Project Snowbird" paper and the + "Project Aquarius" TWX. When I asked who had given him the + documents, he would only say that the person worked for the + government, as an intelligence operative or information + conduit. + + Over the next fifteen months I called Graham several times, + to ask whether there had been any developments regarding the + MJ-12 material. Perhaps the most noteworthy event during that + period was the visit to Graham by two agents from the Defense + Investigative Services (DIS). The agents were apparently sent + to find out why Graham, who holds a "Q" security clearance, + was in possession of alleged secret government documents that + had not been properly declassified. + + In early June, 1987, I called Lee again. This was shortly + before Bill Moore's press conference in Burbank, during which + he intended to unveil the "Eisenhower briefing paper" and other + MJ-12 material. During this call, without any prompting from + me, Graham revealed that the person who had given him the + documents was in fact Bill Moore. I was puzzled. Graham had + previously said, on several occasions, that he had gotten the + documents from an individual who worked for the U.S. Government, + presumably in an intelligence capacity. As far as I knew, Bill + Moore did not work for the government in *any* capacity. + + I asked Graham to explain this discrepancy. He unhesitatingly + replied that when Moore first approached him with the documents + he (Moore) showed him some kind of government ID card, with Bill + Moore's picture on it but an alias typed beneath it. According + to Graham, Moore indicated that he was working for the U.S. + Government for the purpose of releasing sensitive UFO-related + documents to the public. + + I began to take notes. So incredulous was I about all of this + that I asked Lee to repeat his statements, which he did. I then + asked him which agency Moore claimed to work for. He responded + that Bill Moore's ID badge was identical to the badge shown him + by the two DIS agents. When I was skeptically retorted, "You + mean to tell me that Moore's badge looked like the DIS badges?", + he replied, "No, it was identical to them." + + Graham went on to state that Moore claimed that he (Moore) had + been "flagged" in U.S. intelligence agencies' computer files so + that other operatives would not stumble over and inadvertently + expose his operations. Lee went on to say that he had once been + introduced to Moore's "superior" whom Moore would only identify + as "Richard". + + At the conclusion of this rather baffling phone conversation + with Graham, I specifically asked him whether there was anything + that we had discussed that I should not repeat. He answered, + "No", and indicated that he would send me materials relating to + his investigation by the DIS, Bill Moore's first approach to + him, and other, related matters. A week later, I received the + items that Graham had promised and found that references to + Moore, by name, had been censored by Lee. By this time, + however, I had already spoken to Barry Greenwood, Peter Gersten, + Bob Todd, and others about the details of Moore's approach to + Graham. Apparently word got back to Moore about these + conversations because I later heard that he had vehemently + denied that he was a government operative and claimed that he + was only playing a "joke" on a gullible Lee Graham. The + "government ID", according to Moore, was a laminated MUFON card. + + Enclosure J is a letter, dated May 8, 1986, that Graham sent + to the DIS in which he discusses Moore's first approach to him. + Graham mentions that when he was interviewed by the two DIS + agents, he told them about Moore and his ID card. Graham then + goes on to ask why Moore had not been interrogated about his + possession of allegedly secret government documents, copies of + which he had given to Graham. (One might also ask why Moore had + not been questioned about his impersonating a government agent, + if in fact his ID card was bogus as he now claims.) + + Enclosure K is a second letter from Graham to the DIS, dated + October 19, 1986, exactly seven months after Lee was interviewed + by the two DIS agents. In it, Graham again mentions that Moore + has not been interrogated by the DIS over this lengthy period. + He concludes that it is because Moore does indeed work for the + U.S. Government, just as he had been told by Moore himself. + + Graham has a point. If Moore was only "joking" when he showed + Lee the bogus ID card (an ID that looked so authentic that + Graham calls it "identical") to a DIS badge) one would think + that Moore would have been questioned by the DIS about this + potentially serious matter. If Moore was impersonating a + government intelligence operative as he disseminated "documents", + then surely an intelligence agency would be interested in + pursuing the matter. And yet, according to Lee Graham, seven + months after he had told the DIS about Moore and his badge, no + one had apparently approached Moore about this incident. Why? + + One might reasonably postulate that this apparent lack of + follow-up by the DIS suggests that Moore does (or did) work for + the U.S. Government, just as he claimed to Lee Graham. If this + turns out to be true, however, given the highly questionable + track record of one of Moore's chief sources, "Falcon", one + must ask whether information, or disinformation, that he has + been disseminating in this regard, one might also ask why did + Moore not immediately dis-associate himself from Richard Doty + once he had discoveredthat he had forged the Ellsworth AFB + document? Instead, Moore later presented Richard "Falcon" + Doty on national television as a reliable intelligence source + of information about UFOs. Why? + + Another serious issue involving Bill Moore that needs to be + reviewed concerns the so-called "Project Aquarius" document + (Enclosure L). This paper contains the first reference to + "MJ-12" to be widely circulated within the ufological community. + + On the face of it, the Project Aquarius document is a teletype + message, sent by AFOSI Headquarters to Kirtland AFB OSI, dealing + with analyses of UFO photographs and films taken by Dr. Paul + Bennewitz. However, AFOSI HQ denies that it sent the message + and calls it a forgery. It now appears that, in this case, + AFOSI is telling the truth. + + In a letter to attorney Peter Gersten, dated April 4, 1983, + D. Hall states that Bill Moore privately admitted that it was + *he* who did a "cut and paste job" and then "retyped" the + document (Enclosure M). If this is true, why would Moore do + such a thing? If a genuine message was sent to Kirtland AFB + OSI, dealing with Bennewitz' photos, MJ-12, and the rest, why + didn't Moore disseminate it in its original form? Wouldn't + the "retyped" version of if, if discovered to be such, raise + doubts about the credibility of the information contained in + it? + + If Moore did "retype" the document, can he now produce the + original to substantiate the accuracy of the information + contained in "his" version? If so, it will be interesting to + see whether the "original" document will be confirmed as + authentic by AFOSI Headquarters. + + I should point out that I possess additional information about + the Project Aquarius document that I intend to withold until + Moore has produced (or failed to produce) the "original". + + + + A RESPONSE TO BILL MOORE'S OPEN LETTER + -------------------------------------- + + Just as I was concluding this missive, I received a copy of + Bill Moore's open letter to those who would question his + activities. In response to his criticisms and pleas, I would + like to make the following points: + + First, Moore states that he is not a "forger", a "hoaxer", a + "fabricator", or a "counterfeiter". Whether he is any of + those things, I will leave to others to decide. I would ask, + however, if he could suggest an appropriate word to describe + his actions when he did a cut/paste/retype job on the Aquarius + document? If Moore believed that he was "the only one on the + right track", as Doty flattered him, then that's his problem. + If, however, he has engaged in the altering of government + documents before releasing them to an unsuspecting public, + then that becomes a problem for all of us. The credibility + of *any* document, even when released via the Freedom of + Information Act, will come into question in the minds of many + once it has been learned that a "leading ufologist" has + tampered with this or that document. And yet, Moore has the + absolute nerve to rail against those who would question his + "methods". + + Second, Moore feigns self-righteous indignation when he denies + that he is "some sort of government agent". But clearly, he + has only himself to blame for this "rumor". *If* the ID badge + that he showed Lee Graham was fake, and *if* he was lying when + he claimed to be an intelligence operative, does he now have + any right to bemoan the fact that his escapade has finally + come to light? I, for one, do not believe for an instant + Moore's laminated MUFON card story. That explanation smacks + of the ridiculous "red herring" about there being *two* Dotys + that Moore offered up when the "Falcon"/Doty connection was + first suggested publicly by Barry Greenwood in 1987. While + I am sure that there are *plenty* of Richard Dotys in this + world, only *one* is the MJ-12 source "Falcon". + + Third, Moore calls efforts by researchers to learn the identity + of his MJ-12 sources "inappropriate" and states that for + "obvious reasons" his response to these inquiries will be + "no comment". This posture, of course, also conveniently + shields from scrutiny the fact that his "primary" source for + the MJ-12 material, Richard Doty, has apparently acknowledged + forging the Ellsworth AFB document -- a fact that Moore himself + knew *at least* as early as March, 1988. In view of this + revelation, the attempt by Moore to project the appearance + that he is merely protecting a confidential government + source rings hollow. Indeed, it seems likely that his desire + to avoid embarrassment and well-deserved recriminations is + a chief motive for his "no comment" stance. + + + + SUMMARY + ------- + + So, what does the MJ-12 affair add up to? I agree with Bill + Moore it would be premature at this time to draw conclusions. + It would not, however, be premature to carefully consider the + following facts: + + 1) A handful of "documents" have mysteriously surfaced + relating to an allegedly ultra-secret UFO policy group, + code-name "MJ-12". No government agency will confirm the + papers' authenticity and the National Archives has noted + several discrepancies about one of them, the so-called + "Cutler memo" (Enclosures N and O). + + 2) Another of the documents, the "Project Aquarius" message, + has been discovered to be fake, in the sense that it has been + altered by Bill Moore before being released to the public. + As I write, there is no publicly available evidence that the + original document Moore "retyped" was itself authentic. + + 3) The primary source for orally-transmitted MJ-12 material, + code-name "Falcon", has been determined to be Richard C. Doty. + According to Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Bill Moore has acknowledged + that Doty confessed to forging the Ellsworth AFB document. + Further, Doty's typewriter at Kirtland AFB OSI has been + implicated in the "Weitzel" hoax, and he has provided infor- + mation to Linda Howe that contradicts the "facts" contained + in the Eisenhower briefing paper. + + 4) The primary researcher involved in the MJ-12 affair, Bill + Moore, has, by his own account, faked a government ID card and + passed himself off as an intelligence operative to at least + one individual for a period of over two years. Whether Moore + showed Lee Graham a laminated MUFON card, as he now claims, + or a genuine government badge, of some type remains open to + question. + + At the beginning of this letter, I asked whether the actions + of those involved with the MJ-12 affair tended to suggest a + genuine release of authentic UFO-related information to the + public or, on the other hand, a disinformation campaign ( or + for that matter, a simple hoax). I hope that those who are + truly committed to finding the answer to this question will + now renew their efforts. Hard questions must be put to Moore. + Evasive answers and self-serving pronouncements from him + should no longer be tolerated.

Since these sources are of +uncertain reliability, the reports have been largely ignored. +Now, however, ufologists must consider the testimony of Robert +Sarbacher, whose entry in WHO'S WHO consists of more than 3 +inches of tiny print, including education at Princeton and +Harvard and a stint as dean of the graduate school of the Georgia +Institute of Technology. In the years after WWII, the story +goes, Sarbacher served as a science consultant for the Defense +Department's Joint Research and Development Board. He was in +his Washington office on September 15, 1950, it seems, when he +received a visit from Canadian electrical engineer Wilbert B. +Smith. According to information released by Smith just recently, +it was then that Sarbacher revealed the existence of crashed +UFOs, apparently under investigation by Vannevar Bush, the +government's top scientist. + +In a recent interview, Sarbacher, now head of the Washington +Institute of Technology, confirmed those remarks. He says +that during his period of government service as one of a +number of government scientists who served largely as +volunteers, he was told that the vehicles were composed of an +"extremely light and very tough" material, apparently intended +to withstand tremendous acceleration and deceleration. At one +point, Sarbacher says, he was even invited to a meeting at +Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, where officials +related their findings to scientists connected with the Research +and Development Board. Sarbacher had other commitments and did +not attend the meeting, but he says that those who did, including +Bush and noted mathematician John von Neumann, were told that the +vehicles appeared to be spaceships from another solar system. + +Asked about his reaction to the episode, Sarbacher seems oddly +blase. He admits he hasn't given much thought to a matter most +people would consider extraordinary -- he considers it simply a +curious event in the course of a long scientific career. "After +all," he says, "I had -- and have -- a great many more pressing +scientific responsibilities. I wish I could refer you to someone +who was more directly involved than I was," he adds. +"Unfortunately, they're all long gone." + +Writer William Moore, who has been chasing government UFO secrets +for years, considers Sarbacher's testimony significant. "It's +the first time someone with a reputation has come forward to +state publicly that the Pentagon has a recovered UFO," he says. +"This isn't proof, of course, but it fits in with information we +have from other sources." Informed of these claims, Temple +University history professor David M. Jacobs, author of THE +UFO CONTROVERSY IN AMERICA, admits Sarbacher's credentials are +impressive but observes, "Until somebody can produce an actual +crashed saucer, this is hearsay evidence.

From the sound of your voice and our brief + conversation, including our exchange last Spring at Peggy Carters', + I know if we lived closer -- at least on the same continent -- we'd + have many things to talk about -- especially now, in view of what is + taking place around the world. + + Attached is my "Op-Ed piece" on our Mars Investigation -- and + what I now believe is the "fingerprint" of its dramatic, real-world + impact on the current history taking place before our eyes. I look + forward eagerly to your reaction. + + I've thought a lot about what you were trying to describe that + night so many months ago, when you were telling us about the new, + important role for journalism in your country; it reminded me of the + feelings trhat I had, when I got my first major journalistic opportun- + ity "to make a difference." At the somewhat "tender" age of twenty- + three, I was suddenly, "miraculously," invited to join CBS News about + twenty years ago (see attached biographical sketch) -- "to help them + go to the Moon." [The actual invitation was to become a science adv- + isor, during the Apollo lunar missions, to Walter Cronkite (can you + believe?). At the time, Walter was known as "the most trusted man in + America," and indication of the esteem in which he was held, both by + the public and his journalistic colleagues]. + + The almost indescribable feelings that I had on that remarkable + occasion -- when I realized that my (at the time, _very_ meager!) sci- + ence journalistic skills were actually being sought by an almost legen- + dary world news organization, if not by its very dean of journalism (!), + to contribute even in a tiny way towards an unprecedented moment in the + history of all Humanity, the First Lunar Landing -- I've thought, many + times since our first meeting, must have been very similar to the + feelings you attempted to describe that night in North Carolina, in- + volving your own role these days in Moscow: being witness to -- if not + an active participant in -- History. + + If I remember correctly, you said something like "we [journalists] + now feel like soldiers 'on the front lines.' We feel a great, almost + historic responsibility to may 'peristroyka' work!" + + Because of the historic "moment" you are now experiencing, Olga + -- participating in the extraordinary rebirth of an entire nation, + literally grappling with the Future (as opposed to "just" reporting it) + -- I believe that you can share some of my own vicarious excitement, + as I watch from half-way around the world, and wonder. . . is it + _possible_ that, behind ALL the extraordinary, revolutionary changes + we are seeing. . . what we have discovered on the Viking photographs + is partially responsible. . . ?! + + ANCIENT RUINS LYING ON A NEARBY PLANET, RUINS WHICH WILL CHANGE + THE COURSE OF HISTORY FOR EACH OF US. . . IF THEY AREN'T DOING SO + ALREADY? + + When we first discussed the possibility of my writing something + for you regarding our research, I certainly could not have stated these + ideas with such apparent certainty. But, over the course of the summer, + several major breakthroughs have occurred -- on both the scientific + front, and on the "politics of verification." These have remarkably + verified our "intelligence hypothesis," and crystallized my thoughts + -- and the result is the "editorial" you have before you. + + The dramatic political developments -- which have included a + _total_reversal_ of "policy" with regard to the "Cydonia artifacts" + by NASA, and in less that 6 months (correspondence attached to this + letter) -- occurred, after 13 years of dismissing the possibility as + "nonsense," almost as rapidly as the revolutionary changes your + government is now undergoing after 70 years, prompting me to ask: + what's really going on here? + + In particular, when you and I first met, I had just returned + from Washington (April 19), and a face-to-face meeting with Congress- + man Robert A. Roe, head of the most powerful science committee in the + U.S. Congress. As you can see from the attached correspondence (just + follow the dates), after our meeting Roe asked me for a memo of re- + commendations. . . then he took a long time (over 6 months) doing + "something". . . followed by a sudden flurry of announcements to the + media and various constituents, affirming (directly opposite NASA's + previous "position") that "NASA does plan to take new images of the + 'Monuments of Mars'. . ." The very day the article in the WALL STREET + JOURNAL, announcing this development, appeared, was the _same_day_ + that Chairman Roe did an interview for radio (I have the tape) in + which he bluntly said, "I've seen the [Viking] pictures. . . and they + [the objects] don't appear natural. It would be stupid _not_ to look!" + + This from the Chairman of a major Congressional Committee in + the U.S. Government! + + As if this weren't enough, as I said, we also had a major + scientific breakthrough this summer in the Cydonia research: we + believe we've now actually _decoded_ the first part of a _mathematical_ + _message_ represented by the exquisite, redundant geometry we had + previously discovered at Cydonia. How do we know? Because the + mathematics _predict_ certain geophysical events, at _specific_ + latitudes on other planets in the solar system, and the Sun. . . and + when we look at the geodetic maps of these celestial bodies -- the + phenomena are there! + + As I said many times in MONUMENTS: "Science is nothing, if it's + not prediction." + + In mid-August we published a technical paper on these dramatic + findings -- including a series of _very_specific_ geophysical pre- + dictions regarding what our Voyager unmanned spacecraft would find at + Neptune (_before_ it got to Neptune!). Because of the short lead-time, + we published electronically in a world-wide computer-information system + called "Compuserv" (the managers of Compuserv have specifically told + me, incidentally, that they will give you _free_access_ from Moscow, if + you want to communicate "live" with our on-going Mars Mission Issues + conversation, where we are actively discussing the major issues that I + raise in my "guest editorial." Or, you can simply access a vast range + of information. We can discuss details of that fascinating possibility + later, if you're interested). + + Anyway, two weeks after we had published our "message paper," + Voyager flew by Neptune. . . and observed _exactly_ what our "Cydonia + equations" had predicted -- based on a set of mathematical geophysical + principles discovered where there should be nothing capable of giving + any valid predictions for events taking place on a planet in the distant + outer solar system! + + The only logical conclusion you can come to from these data, is + that we indeed have successfully decoded a specific "message" intended + by someone -- whomever "built" Cydonia -- to lead whomever would + discover "the Cydonia artifacts" to these _specific_geophysical_ + _phenomena_. Why? Because they are clues to how planets really "work" + -- including our own Earth. And finding that out is essential to + _preserving_ any planet, if not possibly much more (we're working on + additional possibilities right now). + + So you put these remarkable developments together, and you wind + up asking: "Are we the _only_ smart guys on this planet, to have + finally figured it out -- if only the beginning?! + + And the answer is: "Of course not." + + Your next question might be: "If these facts were also known + to members of the Government, particularly, since one key member -- + a Chairman of a major Congressional Committee -- has now publicly + admitted "they _don't_ appear natural. . .") -- HOW WOULD THE GOV- + ERNMENT BE ACTING?" + + And, if you had, in fact (as I report in the editorial), + briefed high-level members of both governments -- the U.S. and the + U.S.S.R. -- and one of them subsequently had a brilliantly-equipped, + working spacecraft actually in orbit around Mars for several months + . . . before it mysteriously "quit," your next logical question would + _have_to_be_: + + DID THAT SPACECRAFT ACTUALLY _FIND_ SOMETHING. . . SOMETHING + WHICH COMPLETELY VERIFIES OUR VIKING INFORMATION, IF NOT RADICALLY + _EXTENDS_ IT. . . ? + + But then you'd have to ask: "If that were true, if Mr. Gorbachev + is truly holding absolute proof (from Phobos 2) of the most phenomenal + discovery in history -- HOW WOULD HE BE ACTING? + + My conclusions -- if not some of the significant evidence which + has led to these conclusions (the computer-enhanced Viking photographs, + along with my official documents and letters) -- you now have before + you my "editorial." + + * * * + + Olga, after a lot of soul-searching and weighing of our evidence, + I think the confirmation that the Human Race Is Not Alone -- as Mr. + Reagan _repeatedly_ has provided us the clues (see "editorial") -- is + the _only_ thing "big enough" to have suddenly , almost overnight, + forced the radical events we have been witnessing. And I think pro- + viding the crucial, hard evidence of that New Reality, to a series of + major leaders at the top of key governments (including now, the Pope!) + -- both within and without the so-called "Communist world" -- is the + reason Mr. Gorbachev remains so confident that the major "restructuring" + he's planning for your country -- if not the world -- is actually going + to succeed. + + Because, if I am right, this discovery represents an extra- + ordinary New Beginning for Humanity. And Mr. Gorbachev, more now than + any other leader (since Ronald Reagan's Presidency ended), seems to + realize the power of that concept for creating needed Change. Just + compare television images of him and Mr. Bush. . . + + Olga, I know this sounds bizarre. It would have appeared that + way to me, if anyone had seriously proposed this even a few months ago. + But the Mars data is inviolable, and the terrestrial clues are there -- + including a series of truly curious events I _didn't_ detail in the + editorial, for simple lack of space. These events include: + + * * * + + A September meeting, against the backdrop of developments + sweeping out of Moscow and across all Eastern Europe, between ex-CIA + and ex-KGB agents, held in the United States -- ostensibly, to discuss + "possible interagency cooperation on international terrorism." One + key participant -- Mr. William Colby, former Director of the CIA -- + as he was being interviewed on the ABC network program, NIGHTLINE, + along with Lt. General Fjodor Sherbak, former First Deputy Director + of the KGB, suddenly introduced into the conversation (for a total of + _five_ occasions in the last four years) former President Reagan's + curious scenario. Colby: + + "President Reagan said to Mr. Gorbachev one time, that if + hostile MARTIANS [sic] landed on the Earth, we would be together + against them. . . (emphasis added)." + + * * * + + In the context of what we have discovered on the Viking images, + and against Roe's own comments that "they don't appear natural," isn't + that just a little _too_ coincidental. . . ? What REALLY was occurring + at that meeting? And remember, Mr. Gorbachev used to be the equivalent + of Deputy Director of the KGB. . . + + Or, take the following, truly bizarre sequence of events: + + * * * + + Within days of this strange repetition of Reagan's curious + "alien threat" -- and from a former head of the U.S. intelligence + community no less -- came a bizarre, real-life "extraterrestrial + invasion story," appearing on the official TASS wires. The "report" + originated out of Voronezh, a city of about 800,000 people south of + Moscow. The correspondent, writing from Voronezh, seriously des- + cribed a "landing" in a city park by a "glowing alien vehicle"; a + "stroll around the park" by its giant humanoid inhabitants; and + even the temporary "disappearance" of one of the severely frightened + witnesses through the action of some kind of "ray of light," wielded + by the "aliens." The witnesses consisted of both children and adults, + reportedly including one high-ranking police official from the city, + Lt. Sergei A. Matveyev. + + In early October, President Gorbachev visited East Germany, + to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the German Democratic Republic. + He then returned to Moscow, amid reports that Eric Honecker had + issued live ammunition and crackdown orders, against increasing + demonstrations for democracy across East Germany. + + Then, suddenly, the preceding official TASS report, on an + "alien invasion of a Soviet City," appeared on official Soviet + television, in the official Party newspaper, SOVIETSKAYA KULTURA, + and throughout the West -- including in THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE + WASHINGTON POST, and on our evening network television. . . + + THE SAME DAY -- OCTOBER 9 -- THAT ERIC HONECKER WAS SUDDENLY + REPLACED BY EGAN KRENZ, AS HEAD OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE GDR. + + Then, a few days after returning from his own quick trip to + Moscow, Egan Krenz, after instituing additional sweeping changes in + the entire GDR government and Party structure, announced dramatically + that the Berlin Wall "is obsolete" -- and three million East Germans + flocked to West Berlin across one deliriously happy weekend, as we + all watched in disbelief. . . + + Mr. Reagan's "human family," at least in Eastern Europe, was + taking shape with staggering rapidity and, eerily, precisely as Mr. + Reagan had himself, repeatedly, "predicted" -- this time, literally + against the backdrop of an officially-reported "alien invasion" of + the Soviet Union. . . + + What the hell was REALLY going on. . . a "public reminder" -- + to a new, unenthusiastic Bush Administration in the West, and to a + resisting Party structure in the GDR -- "to get with the Reagan- + Gorbachev program" . . . or else Gorbachev would prematurely reveal + the evidence (from Phobos 2) of REAL aliens (which is the _last_ thing + this American government wants)? + + Is that why Bush (and Baker) are so obviously _unenthusiastic_ + about the upcoming Malta meetings? Because now, it's clearly "Gorby's + game?" I (and a lot of other Western observers, who have remarked + about it repeatedly in all our media the past few weeks) have seen + men going to their own _hangings_ -- who've looked happier! + + * * * + + Olga, as hard as this evidence, and as fantastic as my inter- + pretation of the effects it is creating, might seem -- are the "real" + events any less fantastic? And do the "it's all driven by the des- + perate Soviet economics" explanations really "fit?" + + If it weren't for our now indisputable imaging and mathematical + evidence, and the repeated statements of a former President of the + United States (not to mention Chairman Roe's own statements and actions + on behalf of our findings), I would say "yes." But the contrary + evidence is there, and almost overwhelming; something of this magnitude + -- unprecedented in all human history, therefore, CALLING FOR AN UN- + PRECEDENTED HUMAN RESPONSE -- _must_ be behind the staggering events + that are occurring. It is the only thing which could be "bigger" than + "history as usual," creating a need for unprecedented actions. + + If this analysis is true, the _real_ facts and decisions that + are being made are being hidden from us. These _must_ be made public, + I believe -- and publicly debated. Otherwise -- as I end the editorial + -- "glasnost" and "self-determination" are merely hollow phrases, being + parroted by leaders who are _all_ treating us like children -- which + has been precisely the problem for too much of human history! + + I'll bet you didn't expect this, when you invited me to do a + piece for you on our research! But, ask yourself: if the Viking + evidence we have painstakingly assembled (some of which you now + possess) is truly what we think, what would we be seeing as its + effect upon the world -- given, that the leadership decided NOT to + tell us. . . yet. . . until we were somehow properly "prepared" to + handle it?! And what would that "preparation" look like? + + You now know what I believe. + + * * * + + As I was finishing the final draft of what I have submitted, + I realized that what we had originally discussed -- a presentation + of our "ET evidence," followed by a discussion of how it will affect + "the average Soviet citizen" -- was just not possible within a single + editorial; events have progressed too far and too rapidly: if this + hypothesis is accurate, both the "average Soviet citizen" and the + "average American citizen" are being deeply affected _at_this_very_ + _moment_, as are the "average citizens" of the GDR, Czechoslovakia, + Hungary, Poland, etc. -- if not the rest of humanity on Earth. These + effects are not going to occur in some hypothetical and distant + "future"; they are happening _right_now_ -- only , without the proper + background information, no one knows how to interpret these events. + Therefore, a good deal of the piece contains the crucial "background." + + But, Olga, I still feel that readers need a further amplif- + ication of the immense consequences flowing from this now rapidly- + advancing, unprecedented situation. + + For instance, that one extraordinary, almost immediate effect + -- with staggering, immediate consequences for everyone on Earth -- + has been the visible, rapid retreat of the likelihood of nuclear + annihilation. Even our Defense Secretary, Richard Cheny (sic), has + turned (in less than _two_weeks_,) from a vigilant "hawk," who was + then giving speeches arguing that we "could not rest our national + security on the future of one man, Mr. Gorbachev," into someone now + agressively promoting the need for about 180 billion dollars worth + of U.S. defense _cuts_ -- over the next three years -- regardless of + whether President Gorbachev is still around! Clearly, Cheny feels + there has been some kind of _fundamental_ change in the Soviet + Union. . . or in the larger situation embracing _both_ the super- + powers on this planet. + + The immediate4 _economic_ effect of this new attitude is + also making itself felt, not only in the United States but also in + your country: a so-called "peace-dividend," the monies that here- + tofore have been lavished on these huge, super-expensive arms- + stockpiles and high-tech weapons systems -- an almost uncountable + number of conventional weapons, nuclear warheads, intercontinental + missiles, planes, bombers, battleships, etc. -- is being rapidly + "earmarked" for diversion into "productive," peaceful industries; + I understand there are, even now, former rocket factories in the + U.S.S.R. which have already been "converted" -- and are, in part, + making bicycles! + + Olga, because of the necessity of providing proper background + to this whole extraordinary sequence of developments, I was only + able -- in a line! -- to touch upon this immediate economic "dividend" + of finding out the Human Race Is Not Alone. But there is more -- + _much_ more. + + So, here is my additional proposal: + + If you like what I have given you, and decide to run it, I + would like to expand upon the "effects" of these developments in a + "Part II." Since the economic impact of what is taking place is of + crucial importance to both of our respective cultures, the process + of "conversion" of 40 years of weapons industries to productive + output should be of major interest to your readers -- particularly, + if it is directly coupled (as it _will_ be) to the exploration of + what we've found on Mars. + + For years, we have been discussing in the United States -- + both inside and outside of NASA -- the potentially awesome terrestrial + economic effects of establishing "space industries" in orbit, to ex- + ploit the unique resources and enviroments of outer space. But with + massive weapons budgets and other constraints upon our federal budget, + there have been no "extra" monies to pay for such developments. Your + country, with its "MIR" space station and its various "materials + experiments" conducted during the long "stay-time" in zero-gravity by + cosmonauts in orbit, has developed far more experiences than we have + in exploring the kinds of materials that one can uniquely make in + orbit -- then send down to Earth. But even your space program has + been limited in applying this developing technology, by the massive + resources that have been going to the military, and by one other real + constraint -- the current, prohibitively expensive necessity of taking + _all_ materials, to be processed, into space from Earth. The costs + of lifting those resources _into_ space for processing, with present, + primitive rockets, is simply "killing." + + All that dramatically can change -- if we pursue its exploration + properly -- because of what we have discovered at Cydonia. + + What I would like to cover in "Part II" is the stunning + economic prospects for mining the _Martian_moons_ for these critical + resources, and the resulting industrial renaissance these abundant, + unique materials could stimulate on Earth -- with all the resulting + economic "fall-out" of new industries, new jobs, new markets, and new + consumer goods. Many economic studies, carried out both in the + United States and in the Soviet Union, indicate that with current + space technology (such as our space shuttle) IT IS CHEAPER TO GO TO + THE MARTIAN MOONS AND RETURN, THAN TO SEND MEN AND WOMEN OT THE + SURFACE OF OUR OWN MOON! (One of our own MARS MISSION associates, + Dr. Brian O'Leary, mentioned in the editorial, is an extensively + published pioneer in many of these studies.) + + The fact that the Soviet Phobos mission was directed at + intensive study of the composition of the _moons_ of Mars, before + its enigmatic "failure," is demonstration of the Soviet perception + of eventual economic importance of these objects. _If_ we have + indeed discovered a former extraterrestrial civilization once + resident within the Martian system, the political and social impetus + to exploring fully its potential -- if adequately publicized -- + could easily create an economic renaissance which could dramatically + affect the economies of both our countries -- particularly, if we + _jointly_ agree to explore the Martian "ruins," and similarly, to + _jointly_ develop the technologies to exploit the moons of Mars. + + The result could be a swift, almost painless, economic + transition -- for those major industries in both our countries + which currently employ millions of workers in the production of + weapons of destruction -- rockets, warheads, advanced electronic + avionics, and all the other high-tech gadgetry used in making war. + These same skills and technologies, employed through such a "Mars + conversion program," could usher in a literal New Age for everyone + on Earth. + + But of course, if I am right, the greatest benefit of all will + be in the dramatic new perspective that these discoveries will give + to every person living on this planet. There is almost a "spiritual + dimension" to discovering this truth -- that Humanity is NOT alone + before the Universe. This, I believe, is why those Orthodox Russian + priests were invited into the Phobos 2 Control Center. . . and why + Mr. Gorbachev met with Pope John-Paul this morning just prior to + his first face-to-face meeting with the current American President; + invoking the spiritual leaders on this planet in helping us to + "break the news" will be _essential_ to successful "preparation" + of the planet for the truth. + + Well, that's it for now. I eagerly look forward to hearing + from you regarding all of this. I know it's a LOT to take in all + at once. But, just look at your television screen this weekend. . . + Does any other explanation really fit? + + + Enjoy. . . + + + + P.S. I had another thought. If you agree that this should now + be publicly debated -- and in both our countries -- I would suggest + you might propose to the American television network news program, + NIGHTLINE, that they do a _joint_ program on this information with + your television program, in Moscow.

The author has now interviewed a man who served on a +companion ship to the destroyer in question, and who was on the +scene the night of its supposed disappearance, which he is able +to explain in minute detail. Yet the features of the story are +such that it survives in the UFO literature and that it is now +being revived under a novel form for the benefit of a new +generation of readers. Using this incident as a model of a +successful hoax, the present article extracts thirteen parameters +that have been instrumental in its remarkable survival over the +last fifty years; it compares the features of this fabrication to +other questionable episodes of UFO lore; finally, it attempts to +draw up a list of suitable measures for their detection, +challenge and ultimate exposure. + + + + + The Prevalence of Hoaxes + + + One of the remarkable features of the study of the paranormal +is the permanence and pernicious influence of hoaxes. Not only do +spurious stories arise, as they would in any other field, but +they are eagerly seized upon with little effort at initial +verification, even by people who have an established reputation +as objective researchers. Frank criticism of the process +inevitably arises, but it is commonly mistaken for an attack upon +the integrity or the intelligence of the advocates of the case +who naturally feel defensive and harden their position. Those who +continue to question the "evidence" tend to be assimilated with +skeptics and their objections are often misrepresented. + The media contribute to giving such stories an aura of +respectability, to such an extent that tall tales come to +represent the only "knowledge" of the paranormal the public will +eventually cite in everyday conversation. + Even more remarkable is the fact that some hoaxes tend to +acquire a life of their own, and continue to be invested with +believability among the public even when overwhelming negative +data eventually create unanimous agreement among specialists +about their lack of substance. This makes the work of the +researcher vastly complicated, not only because the field becomes +heavily tainted by the unreliability of these stories, but +because one has to spend an inordinate amount of time explaining +the situation to outsiders and dispelling prior misconceptions. +From a sociological point of view, however, hoaxes are quite +interesting. They provide rich insights into the preconceptions +of both believers and skeptics. They illuminate the motivations +of the authors of the plot and the eagerness of the spectators. + For any hoax to succeed it has to be believable and relevant. +Those that endure, resisting even the absolute proof, the +definitive exposure of the culprits and their methods, are +endowed with additional qualities. They resonate with deep-seated +imagery in the minds of the masses and of the educated public. +They never fail to generate high ratings on prime time. They +touch all of us, whether or not we like to admit it. Their +victims are as likely to be found among the highly educated, even +the scientifically trained, as they are among the masses. In the +words of Norman Mailer, "if lying is an art, then fine lying is a +fine art." (Mailer, 1991) + Proven or suspected hoaxes abound in contemporary ufology. The +saga of UMMO in Spain provides an example of a story which is +simply too good and whose implications appear too profound for +believers to be swayed by rational arguments. Even absolute proof +of trickery can always be superseded with the notion that a truly +superior alien civilization might well plant fake photographs or +false prophecies in order to test the faith of its followers on +earth, an argument actually volunteered by the self-described +Aliens themselves in some UMMO documents (Vallee, 1991). +Sociologists have long observed that exposure, in such cases, may +even serve to strengthen the core of a belief system, no matter +how outrageous, although it does tend to scatter away the outer +layer of sympathizers (Festinger, 1956). + In this regard, paranormal hoaxes are no different than their +religious or political counterparts. Exposure of the Protocols of +the Sages of Sion, a fabrication that began as a fake document +concocted by the dreaded Russian Okhrana in 1905 and was +successfully picked up and reframed against the Jews by Nazi +propaganda in the Thirties with terrifying efficacy (Cohn, 1967), +has not permanently dulled its impact. Indeed the Protocols have +now reappeared as "channeled" material from space entities, thus +endowed with that glow of supreme authority that many New Age +believers find harder to question than a "mere" historical +document, and absolving the human medium from any unnecessary +burden of guilt (Ecker, 1992). If specific incentive to study the +structure of hoaxes was necessary, this horrible example from +recent history should be enough motivation for us to work hard at +studying and exposing hoaxes in our own field. + The present article focuses on a particularly resilient +fabrication that exhibits all the important features of a +successful ufological hoax, enabling us to analyze it in detail. +As we proceed with this study we will attempt to point out the +possible parallels among various UFO stories or rumors exhibiting +similar characteristics. + + Mention UFOs casually in any cocktail conversation, and +people are likely to bring up a number of "actual cases" they +have heard discuss on television shows such as Sightings or +Unsolved Mysteries. The alleged UFO crash at Roswell, the MJ-12 +documents (which purport to emanate from an American Government +agency that knows all about the nature and purpose of UFOs and +their alien occupants) and various sensational abduction +reports will probably be mentioned. Then, almost as an +afterthought, someone may ask, "wasn't there a secret Navy test +in the Forties, in which a whole destroyer actually disappeared?" +Others may volunteer that Einstein had something to do with it, +and that many serious researchers believed the incident to be the +key to the nature of UFOs. You will be confronted once again with +the tall tale of the Philadelphia Experiment. + The story, of which we have just celebrated the fiftieth +birthday, is a good example of a hoax about which everything has +become known, thanks to many years of diligent research by people +who were first fascinated by the tale and gradually grew +skeptical of its extraordinary claims. Its impact on the public +over the fifty years that have elapsed since the initial incident +has been significant: one hardcover book signed by widely-read +author Charles Berlitz and veteran paranormal investigator +William L. Moore has become the standard reference (Berlitz and +Moore, 1979). It is "dedicated to the outriders of science whose +quest for knowledge takes them to the most distant stars and to +the innermost worlds." A feature movie directed by Stewart +Raffill was released in 1984, starring Michael Pare in the role +of a vanishing sailor. The dramatic nature of the story was +enhanced by its impact on several early UFO researchers, +including Morris K. Jessup. It was given an aura of further +credibility by the obvious interest shown by the Office of Naval +Research in the initial stages and by the secrecy surrounding it. +Official secrecy, which often results from purely bureaucratic +procedures, tends to be taken by advocates as evidence of +coverup, making wild speculation seem legitimate. Contributing to +the mystery was the enigmatic personality of the man who claimed +to be the main witness and a direct link to space intelligences, +Carl M. Allen alias Carlos Allende. + + Conclusions + + + Few tasks are as important in the field of paranormal +investigation as the detection and elimination of hoaxes. +An area of research that does not police itself is eventually +policed by others with utterly devastating consequences, as +recent examples of fraud in academic research have shown. Popular +ufology, which thrives on rumors, poorly-investigated reports, +shoddy scholarship and outright fraud to the detriment of those +genuine facts that are potentially relevant to science, provides +a long history of colorful hoaxes that have come to define the +field in the mind of the general public and have tainted it with +a negative image in the view of scientists and educated laymen. + The problem with hoaxes is that they are charming, tantalizing, +entertaining, and often correspond to what we would like to be +true, as opposed to what is actually true. We have seen that the +Philadelphia Experiment had all of these characteristics. This +hoax, which should have died a long time ago under the combined +efforts of several researchers, is an example of a story that +simply refuses to die. It is surrounded with such an aura of +mystery that it continues to be successfully exploited. Like some +of those exhausted gold mines in the hills of Colorado which were +drained of every ounce of metal in the nineteenth century, yet +revive periodically in the offering circulars of unscrupulous +underwriters as penny-stock mining companies with new fancy +names, certain UFO stories always find gullible new investors. +Even in 1993 the tale of the disappearance of the DE173 has lost +none of its peculiar charm. + Hoaxes have been defined as "deliberately concocted untruths +made to masquerade as fact" (MacDougall 1958). In a recent +theoretical article on hoaxes, Marcello Truzzi notes that "there +has been little deductive effort in social science specifically +to describe or explain hoaxes." (Truzzi, 1993). He points out +that according to Curtis MacDougall a hoax's success is the +result of two sets of psychological forces acting within the +victim: under the rubric "why we don't disbelieve" MacDougall +lists ignorance, superstition, suggestion, prestige. Under +"incentives to believe" he lists financial gain, vanity, +chauvinism, prejudice, pet theories, the thirst for thrills, and +cultural climate. We have seen that such factors were indeed at +work in the infrastructure of the present story. + MacDougall also remarked: "When a hoax achieves the longevity +to qualify for classification as either myth or legend, hope of +stopping it almost may be abandoned." After fifty years we may +well have reached that point in the matter of the Philadelphia +Experiment. + + Acknowledgments + + + The author wishes to thank Mr.Edward Dudgeon for his invaluable +help in clarifying the happenings in Philadelphia.

(AP) -- A man says he, and not outer-space visitors, +flattened two circles in a cornfield as part of a prank to make people think +that unidentified flying objects had landed there. + The confession by David Olson, 44, a chemist with an Eagan engineering +company, comes nearly eight years after he flattened the circles in his nephew's +cornfield as a practical joke on his nephew, Curtis Olson, in September 1979. + The joke quickly ballooned out of proportion into a probe by authorities and +a UFO center investigator. + "I thought my brother, Bruce, would ask me if I was responsible and I'd admit +it," David Olson, of Morristown, said Monday. "But the first I heard of it was +on television and then it was too late. + "It developed so fast and people were so intense about it, I thought I'd +better shut up. I thought they might be so angry around there, they'd string me +up." + The idea of the prank came to Olson in the summer of 1979 when people were +talking about flying saucers at a family get-together. Olson said his nephew +seemed strongly convinced of their existence. + His nephew farmed a few miles southwest of Lake City at the time and Olson +decided to pay a visit to the cornfield to set up a fake UFO landing. + "A good practical joke depends on patience and thoroughness." David Olson +said. "But I never realized it would be as much work as it was." + He drove his pickup truck to his nephew's cornfield about 11 p.m., then +lugged a posthole tamper and a butane torch into the field. + "I brought the tamper to simulate what would have been landing gear setting +down and I spent a lot of time on that," Olson recalled. + He said he took special care to tamp in about seven areas to make the landing +gear impressions appear symmetrical. + "I started stepping corn down and making progressively bigger circles," he +recalled. "I used about two of the one-quart butane canisters to singe the corn +on the ground and some of the standing corn surrounding the circle. That would +have simulated a blast of energy." + After his nephew spotted the flattened corn, the Wabasha County sheriff, a +county agriculture extension agent and an investigator for the Center for UFO +Studies of Evanston, Ill., descended on the farm. + Although Olson has confessed, his nephew flatly rejects the confession. + Curtis Olson, who now lives in Montana, said Monday he agrees with +investigators who say something unexplainable happened in September 1979 in that +cornfield. + "Listen, I know he is capable of pranks," the nephew said.

(AP) -- A national organization that investigates unidentified +flying objects is checking into some strange lights that have been popping up in +southern Indiana in recent weeks. + The UFOs, described as glowing and blinking lights, reportedly appeared +almost nightly for more than two weeks near Mickey Shawler's house. + James Delehanty, a field operative for the Mutual UFO Network, spent two +nights last week in the Harrison County community, investigating the reports. He +and other observers saw several airplanes pass over, but nothing resembling the +lights that had been reported. + Ms. Shawler said the lights did appear last Thursday night, but not until +around midnight, after the observers left. + "It's so frustrating," she said. "It's almost like they didn't want to come +with all the people around." + But the lights have been seen by enough credible witnesses to generate an +investigation by Delehanty's network, a 4,000-member international organization +based in Texas. + The group was asked to check out the Corydon reports by the National UFO +Reporting Center in Seattle. + Robert Gribble, a spokesman for the center, said his agency is a +clearinghouse for UFO information in North America and uses the Mutual UFO +Network as its investigative arm. + Ms. Shawler said she first saw the lights several months ago. The lights also +have been reported by policemen and journalists. + Witnesses have reported seeing as many as six lights or objects at one time. +They are described as blinking lights in the sky or glowing orange balls. Ms. +Shawler and at least one other witness have reported that the phenomena have +followed their cars. + "Everybody says, `Mickey, you're crazy,"' Ms. Shawler said. "But once they +see them, they don't say that anymore." + Jackie Carpenter of the Corydon Democrat was one of the skeptics until she +saw the lights two weeks ago. + Ms. Carpenter said the lights "hovered, rose, lowered, went sideways, +disappeared and came back." + "It was really weird," she added. + Delehanty, a traffic manger with the Kentucky Air National Guard, said he +plans to continue his investigation.

Ironically, both are called _Inquirers_ - + one, with an "E," the _National_ and the other, with an "I," the _Skep- +ical_. The former seems to believe every UFO report it hears without both- +ring to investigate, and the latter seems to _disbelieve_ every UFO report +it hears, also without bothering to investigate. Or so it would appear if +one reads Philip Klass' review of the Kathie Davis UFO abduction case as +described in my book _Intruders_. Klass is apparently afraid actually to +deal with anyone face to face who may, like Kathie Davis, have reported +such an experience. Three months ago, at the MUFON conference in Washing- +on, DC, poor timid Phil - a self-described garden party skunk - wandered +around for the entire weekend. But not once, it seems, did he interview +any of the people there who publicly described the pain and trauma their +UFO abduction experiences had caused. And earlier, in the spring, when +Klass and I and two female abductees appeared together on the Oprah Win- +rey TV program, he again evaded the opportunity to interview them face to +face. The reason, of course, is obvious. In his mind he _knows_, without +investigation, that these otherwise credible people - doctors and lawyers +and housewives and pilots and police officers and all the others I've +worked with - are either lying or mentally disturbed; this because it is +Klass' _opinion_ that since UFOs do not exist, UFO abductions cannot oc- +ur! Face to face inquiries are therefore as unnecessary for believers like +this particular skeptical inquirer as they are for the _National Enquir- +er_, despite their differing ideologies. Unfortunately it is left to us +pragmatists in the middle actually to investigate these accounts for the +purpose of discovering if the witnesses are, in fact, lying, deranged or +simply telling the truth. + + Klass' review of _Intruders_ begins with a confession. He admits to +having suffered an odd period of "missing time" while writing his piece. +Now Phil and I are both getting on in years, and I know the symptom. If he +nodded off while trying to write his review, I confess I had trouble stay- +ing awake while trying to read it; I forgive him and understand. But de- +spite his problems with drowsiness, Phil thinks his keen detective's nose +provides him with the ability to locate contradictions in a text. Nostrils +aquiver, he cites several in his review of _Intruders_. For example, after +many descriptions of the UFO occupants' skin tone as being in the gray, +grayish-white to white range, a color group significant because it is so +different from our normally warm human flesh tones, I "slip" and in his +opinion make a terrible blunder. He frantically blows his whistle, report- +ing that one witness says, "The skin is very thin...grayish..." while +another witness says, "The skin is white...so thin its see-through." He +regards this discrepancy as so devastating that he prints the words +"white" and "grayish" in italics! One can almost picture his self- +satisfied smile as he sits at his typewriter, Panama hat firmly in place +and "gotcha" in his heart. + + On the important subject of hypnosis he feels he's located another +contradiction, so he cites an authority on the subject. Dr. Simon, the +psychiatrist in the Betty and Barney Hill case, is quoted as saying, "Hyp- +nosis is not a magic road to the truth." Phil is apparently so enamored of +this sentence that he italicizes the negative word. However, on page 209 +of my book, I quote with approval the following verdict: "Hypnosis does +not automatically represent a path to certain truth." I'm not accusing our +skeptical inquirer of plagiarism. I'm willing to allow that somehow he +does see a contradiction between these sentences which resides, perhaps, +in the fact that in my version I left out the italics. + + But these are mere quibbles with Klass' review of my book. This CSI +COP is trying for bigger game. He attempts to get away with a basic - and +outrageous - assertion, one that goes to the heart of my investigation. He +states that I accepted everything Kathie Davis said _without ever once try- +ing to check her veracity_! Now, Chapter 2 of _Intruders_ deals with one +central incident in the Kathie Davis account, the June 30, 1983 UFO land- +ing and its resulting ground traces. There I describe in what one reader +called "numbing detail" many of the avenues of inquiry I pursued to verify +her report, among them the soil analysis tests that were carried out on +the affected ground, the interviews I conducted with each of the Davis' +four closest neighbors, my interrogation of family members as well as the +two individuals Kathie was with the night of the incident. Elsewhere I +discuss the psychological investigations undertaken and the "lie detec- +tion" test to which Kathie voluntarily submitted - and passed. But Klass +has the gall to state that "because of the claim that he is a 'meticulous +investigator,' one might have expected that [Hopkins] would have tried to +verify at least one tale [Kathie] told that could be easily checked." I +will grant him the most generous explanation of this outrageous statement +and say that if he dozed off while writing his review it is not incon- +ceivable that he might also have slept through most of my book. + + Each chapter belies his absurd assertion that I made no attempt to +verify any part of Kathie's account. In Chapter 5, for example, I discuss +another of Kathie's reports, one that involved five other people on a camp- +ing trip in Kentucky. During my visits to Indianapolis I was able to lo- +cate and interview four of these five witnesses to the incident; unfortun- +ately the fifth was critically ill at the time and has since died, so with +him, at least, my efforts were in vain. These interviews are reported in +precise detail. After driving all over Indianapolis to locate these people +and record their recollections, I think with justifiable anger of Klass' +remark: "One might have expected that [Hopkins] would have tried to verify +at least one tale she told...." + + It would take many pages to deal with the misrepresentations and ap- +parently deliberate, strategic omissions in Klass' review. He implies, for +example, that I accept the word of witnesses without seeking objective, +scientific opinion - never mentioning the fact that Dr. John Burger, a +gynecologist-obstetrician at Perth Amboy General Hospital was asked to in- +terview the witnesses and examine their testimony, or that psychologist +Dr. Elizabeth Slater was asked to perform psychological tests upon the +abductees without being told that UFO experiences were involved. Meticu- +lous pains were taken to assure objectivity in these and other inquiries +in order finally to arrive at the truth. I state in my book that UFO abduc- +tees have suffered profoundly from their experiences, and I describe them +as victims. I label the UFO occupant's genetic experiments upon them as +being sometimes cruel, and state that "to some extent at least each is a +personal tragedy." No one reading _Intruders_ can mistake my attitude to- +wards these often horrifying experiences. And yet Klass, in his review, +says this: Hopkins has an "overwhelming desire to believe in an extra- +terrestrial genetic experiment." A despicable and wholly invented infer- +ence, suggesting that I take pleasure in these personal tragedies. + + The final problem, however, is not Klass' penchant for off-the-wall +distortion. It is his basic - and ugly - explanation of the case. Kathie +Davis, he "suspects," is a liar, who made it all up. He cagily avoids the +term "liar" in order to soften the impact of his brutal judgement. She +doesn't exactly lie - she just enjoys, in his phrase, "spinning tall +tales." By making it all up, by allowing a book to be written about her +"invented" experiences and then by describing them publicly - by doing +these things Kathie Davis in Klass' view can be nothing but a liar on a +monumental scale. Kathie's "tales" under the circumstances are viciously +deceptive lies, designed to deceive hundreds of thousands of people. But +Klass is not finished with the Davis family. Kathy's mother also lies, +Klass implies. My visits to Indianapolis, he states, "could not help" but +impress the Davis family and their friends and neighbors. So impressed +were they, he theorizes, that "even Kathie's mother recalled that _she_ +had had UFO encounters in her youth - some years before UFOs were first +'discovered.'" (Emphasis his) And there you have it. An "investigator" who +carefully stays far away from his subject, Kathie, while attending a con- +ference with her. An "inquirer" afraid to interview her, let alone to simp- +ly chat with her in an honest attempt to test his theory. Instead, in a +manly display of courage he avoids her and then from a distance calls her +a liar. Case solved. Investigation unnecessary. Work completed while sit- +ting at home, reassuring himself that his opinions about the UFO phenom- +enon render this innocent woman ipso facto a mendacious fraud who "enjoys" +deceiving others. And let's throw in her mother for good measure; surely +she's another liar, too. Philip Klass, unfortunately, has always been as +myopic as he has been brutal in his judgement of innocent fellow human +beings. The first behavior is harmless, the second, cruel, and I can only +hope that in time he will come to regret the pain he has caused to trauma- +tized men, women and children. May this "skeptical inquirer" finally learn +to inquire rather than merely hurl stones at the innocent. + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/howe.thd b/textfiles.com/ufo/howe.thd new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ffa23c5f --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/howe.thd @@ -0,0 +1,270 @@ + + + Msg: #4763 Sec: 1 - UFOlogy + 21-JAN-88 04:47 AM +Subj: "STRANGE HARVEST" etc...

As is often the case in this hall of +mirrors with a quicksand floor (the UFO story), getting to any real hard rock +fact underneath the quicksand is difficult. Out of frustration, many people +are tempted to run with conclusions based on second guessing and +circumstantial connections. I sympathize with the frustration and energy +behind releases such as John's. But as I have said to him directly, jumping +to conclusions and inferences without hard proof, especially in public forums, +can be a disservice. After 7 years since producing A STRANGE HARVEST, the +only thing I can safely say is that there has been and is today deceit and +disinformation at many different levels, sometimes a single government agency +can be sending conflicting and contradictory messages simultaneously. And +from the abduction cases, it is also clear that the ET's themselves don't seem +to level with humans either. So, every piece of information that surfaces, +including John's paper, has a question mark around it? + Canada? Many mutilation reports there in British Columbia, Alberta.... after +A STRANGE HARVEST WAS BROADCAST IN L980, i GOT A CALL FROM Lynn Lauber, Royal +Canadian Mounted Police in Calgray. He wanted to screen A STRANGE HARVEST +because quite honestly in spite of the RCMP's public statements about being on +the trail of a cult killing the animals, the private fact was that they were +stymied like all the other law enforcement in this country and elsewhere. +Lauber screened HARVEST and maintained an exchange of photographic and other +- More (Y)/N/NS? +evidence with U.S. law enforcement.

When I was investigating +the animal mutilation mystery in l979-l980 for A STRANGE HARVEST, there were +at least 3 different kinds of ETs associated with the mutilations: l) the +Grays, the short large black eyed type such as those so often reported and +drawn by abductees in Budd H opkins research and others. 2) Blonds, or +Nordic types -- taller, pale shoulder length hair and light eyes with pupils +bigger than human eyes but basically very similar in appearance to Northern +European humans. 3) Dark skinned, brown, Asiatic type with slanted eyes and +dark black hair that make strange high pitched language sounds. This is also +your MIB description in the UFO literature. Are the Asiatic types doing +several things at once including scaring UFO witnesses and mutilating animals? + Or are there several different types of ETs on the planet at the same time, +each with a different mission or motive? I don't know the answer. But I do +believe that human witnesses want to report exactly what they saw. Most +people in my experience are try ing very honestly to deal with the +inexplicable by trying to explain it. EBE -- this is a government acronym for +"extraterrestrial biological entity or entities".

Further, it has also been suggested that the MIB types have +some kind of alliance with the grays but not necessarily the same needs. +Thus, various ETs might be assisting each other but for different reasons and +different needs. About government involvement -- the Head of the animal +mutiliation investigation, Carl Whiteside, at the Colorado Bureau of +Investigations perhaps summed up that questiion the best: "Why would the CIA +or any other government agency go around mutilating cows or other animals out +on the range lands?

A Jan. 5 news article discusses the difficulty the +Central Intelligence Agency is having finding records of the experiments. + +However, at a Senate hearing on Aug. 3, 1977, Adm. Stansfield Turner, former +CIA director, disclosed that the agency had been conducting brainwashing +experiments on countless Americans - prisoners, mentally ill patients, cancer +patients, and even unwitting patrons at bars in New York, San Francisco and +other cities. Some were drugged with LSD and other psychotropic agents. + +This was the cold war period, when the focus was on spying and counter-spying. +Thus, the main objective of this mammoth CIA effort, which cost the taxpayers +at least $25 million, was to program the experimental subject to do the +programmer's bidding, even if it would lead to the subject's destruction. + +As you reported Aug. 2, 1977, a CIA memorandum of Jan. 25, 1952, asked "whether +it was possible to get control of an individual to the point where he will do +our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature +as self-preservation." + +Mind control and behavior modification experiments in this period also became +the underpinnings for a "medical" approach to stem the rise of social disquiet +following the murder of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Hundreds of +thousands of Dr. King's followers were out in the streets throughout the +United States demanding that their civil rights be recognized and that Dr. +King's assassins be brought to justice.

The Veterans +Administration used psychosurgery in its hospitals in Durham, N.C.; Long +Beach, Calif., Minneapolis and Syracuse.

Over the years, there +have been numerous cases where the phenomenon has figured into +human deaths, but as a rule, most cases have been officially +ruled accidental. When speaking of cases where death has +resulted, usually most assume cases where military pilots have +died as a result of "chasing" the phenomenon. One of the most +famous of these military chases that is discussed when ever the +subject of death and UFOs is raised, is the famous "Mantell +Case". This case is so well known that I will not discuss it +here, but there are many others. In one of the less well known +cases, during the mid 1950's, a military jet interceptor was +observed on radar being "absorbed" into a UFO over the Great +Lakes. No trace of pilot or aircraft was ever found. In another +case reported in the excellent work "Clear Intent" was the case +of the "Cuban MIG Incident". In this case a Cuban MIG was +locking on his weapons radar when the aircraft exploded in mid*air. +The wing man was certain that the UFO had fired some type +of weapon, but other than the jet exploding, no other smoke, +flame or other obvious weapon firing was observed. + +The matter of either overt or covert hostility on the part of +UFOs has always been treated warily by serious researchers. On +the one hand, if the enigma is hostile, then several questions +must be faced. What if anything should the powers in authority +tell the public? Is the government capable of handling a threat +of this type? Is the public ready to face an issue as +potentially terrifying as a "possible threat from somewhere +else?" Other than incidents involving military involvement, have +there been cases where civilians have been injured or killed +during some type of UFO encounter? Is it possible that the +reported cases of UFOs and their occupants abducting unwilling +humans for some type of medical or genetic experimentation could +be true? Now, if any of this is factual, then what ramifications +do the Human Race face in light of the above? + +According to Mr. Phil Imbrogno, during the research that led to +the writing of "NIGHT SIEGE The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings" by +Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Philip Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt, Imbrogno has +stated that on several occasions, Hynek specified that he wanted +no mention of the dozens of human abductions that they had +already uncovered at that time, to be mentioned in the book. +Hynek was afraid of the adverse publicity if word of this aspect +leaked out to the public. After Hyneks death, Imbrogno stated +publicly on Compuserve and other public forums, facts of +abductions, animal mutilations, and EVEN several cases of +mysterious deaths of humans, that he indicated COULD possibly +be linked to the UFO Phenomenon. + +While researching several stories for UFO Magazine, I interviewed +a number of prominent UFOlogists, over the last several months, +and in each case, the question of human deaths, in connection +with animal mutilations, invariably was raised. Most readers of +this text will be familiar with Mr. John Keel, who many regard as +the last of the Great UFOlogists. From the earliest days of +modern UFOlogy, Keel has been a force to reckon with. The author +of numerous books that address various aspects of UFOlogy, and +magazine articles too numerous to mention, Keel has a unique +slant on the subject that most will never experience. According +to Keel, the phenomenon has always had an unexplained hostility +towards humans, that have led to untold numbers of deaths. While +Keel will be the first to explain that he rejects the ET +hypothesis, he does not doubt the phenomenon a bit. In what many +UFOlogists consider as one of Keels best works "The Mothman +Prophecies", E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. 1975, Keel related report +after report of animal mutilations involving cattle, dogs, horses +and sheep, and also related what were called "vampire killings" +of four humans in Yugoslavia, were the victims were "mutilated +and drained of blood". + +After having spoken to John Ford, the Chairman of the Long Island +UFO Network, for a news story for UFO Magazine, I became even +more convinced that the aspect of potential UFO hostility should +be investigated. Ford relayed a numbing number of animal +mutilations, human disappearances, human abductions, covert +Federal involvement in areas that suffered high numbers of animal +mutilations, and even armed military helicopters that chased UFOs +over civilian communities. Ford, who is a officer of the Federal +Court system, did investigations into the disappearances of +mostly young adults over a year period, in areas of high UFO +overflights, and after having several personal friends who were +police officers of the local municipalities look into the +situation, came to the conclusion that the facts were being +suppressed. The reason given was that there was "no need to +panic the public." Although no iron clad proof can be made for +direct UFO intervention, the circumstances are extremely suspect. + +After growing up in an age where the entire human race can be +decimated by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, the human +race somehow manages to keep slogging on. I have seen more +people "panicked" over a shortage of gasoline than imminent +nuclear holocaust, yet somehow when the subject of UFOs crop up, +the government doesn't want to panic anyone. It really makes me +wonder what they know, that I should. I really don't think that +they are going to talk to anyone soon, as you shall soon see. + +In January, 1989, it came to the attention of the MUFON State +Director of Idaho, Mr. Don Mason, that cattle mutilations had +occurred once again in the southeastern section of Idaho. After +an investigation by a MUFON investigator, the facts were as +follows. The animals ( two cattle, same night, but each owned by +different ranchers ) were "somehow" killed, sexual organs removed, +body fluids drained, patches of hide "surgically" +removed. All the appearances of what is today considered to be a +classic case of animal mutilation. As of this date ( February +15, 1989 ) the final lab reports are not back yet, but already +the Sheriffs Department has labeled it a "cult killing." No +tracks, tire or human, around the animals even though it had +just rained, no unusual activity reported by the ranchers that +evening, and one animal was found next to an occupied house. +One of the ranchers admitted that this was the second time he had +been "hit" by the mysterious mutilators. The last incident had +only been a bit over a year previously, and they were worried +enough that all had their "deer rifle" within easy reach. + +After having been personally involved in an investigation of +cattle mutilations as a police officer back in 1982, I was very +familiar with the "cult" theory of perpetrators. The Idaho +Department of Law Enforcement drags it out every time there is a +new rash of mutilations. The problem is, and every one is aware +of it, that no one has yet been brought to trial, or arrested yet +for these crimes. Out here in the west, people know that you are +flirting with a ranchers bullet if you are caught fooling around +with the ranchers cattle. They are his livelihood, and he will +defend it. Yet, the mutilations keep occurring, and no one is +any the wiser, or are they? + +With the subject of animal mutilations fresh in everyones mind, I +was once again speaking to Don Mason, when he informed me that +the investigator that had been assigned to the above mentioned +case had come across a very mysterious death of a man back in +1979. According to the report, two hunters in the Bliss and +Jerome area of Idaho had literally stumbled across the nude body +of a man that had been hideously mutilated. The body was in the +literal middle of nowhere, nude except for a pair of underpants, +his sexual organs had been removed, his lips sliced off, and +several other classic mutilation cuts. Although he was in very +rugged country, his bare feet were not marked as if he had walked +in that terrain, but yet no other tracks, animal or human were +evident anywhere. After the police were notified, an intensive +search was mounted, and miles away, the mans possessions were +recovered, yet no one yet knows how the body ended up where it +was found, or even more importantly, what happened to him. It +should be noted that this area also had over the years, many +unexplained UFO reports and cattle mutilations. + +Now I must explain that I had very mixed feelings about whether I +wished to attempt to explore this subject any further, or allow +sleeping dogs to lie. On the one hand, I wanted more than +anything to discover just what was occurring, and on the other, I +realized that this had the potential to backfire on someone that +disturbed the status quo. I was familiar with reports of human +abductions and mutilations that had surfaced in the last several +years in reports such as the Lear documents, Grudge 13 reports +and others, but yet I was not sure what I believed, or even if +there was anything to believe. I ran across a friend that was still +employed with a police department in this area who was a +detective. I had mentioned to him the recent cattle mutilations, +and what I suspected in the above mentioned case of a human that +had been mutilated. Scot had also been involved in the last +several years with several cases of mutilations that he had been +called upon to investigate, always with negative results. He was +as curious about this phenomenon as I was, and since he was still +an active duty police officer, he had access to the department +computer, to access the NCIC system that is maintained in +Washington D. C. by the FBI. After giving Scot the criteria for +a search of unexplained human deaths, that involved factors of +mutilation, I asked that the search go back to at least 1973, +involving this area of the Northwest. Scot ( not his real name ) +ran the request through the department computer. As he mentioned +at the time, he had expected to get realms of reports back that +we would have to wade through, to get to the reports that would +be are further study. Scot ended up requesting that the inquiry be +run back to 1970, and involve not only Idaho, but also Utah, +Nevada, Oregon, and Washington states. Because of the magnitude +of this search, Scot stated that it would take about one week to +get the results back into his department. As a side note, for +anyone that is not familiar with the NCIC system, it is a +national data bank for Law enforcement agencies all across the +United States. It is maintained and controlled by the Federal +Burea of Investigation, at FBI headquarters, in Washington D. C. +On the 14th of February, Scot contacted me in person, and +appeared very troubled. His exact words were that "something is +really screwy, Don." "I got the request back from NCIC on +Monday, and there has gotta be something wrong. They told me +that they had NO unsolved murders at all, zero, that met that +criteria. THAT ANY FURTHER REQUESTS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE BY +VOICE, TELEPHONE CALL, WITH PROPER AUTHORIZATION. Somebody is +sitting on something, big as Hell." I also knew that something +was as screwy as hell. After all, anybody that has had any +dealing with law enforcement knows about the "Green River Killer" +in Washington state. This serial killer is credited with at +least 30 to 40 murders of young women, and to this date, the case +is as big a mystery as ever. Many of the killings showed some +types of mutilation, and if nothing else, at least some of these +homicides should have shown up. + +Once more, as a side note, I had been warned by a prominent +UFOlogist, that there was a lid "screwed down tighter than you +would believe in regards to human mutes." I also was warned that +in order to break through the secrecy, was going to be a long and +sometimes weary job, but that if enough persistence was applied, +then it was possible to get to the bottom of this facet of the +UFO enigma. Do I think that this can be solved, along with the +rest of the puzzle? Yes, I do, because I think that the secrecy +can only be maintained for so long, and then no longer. I also +believe very strongly that only if the entire UFO community works +in concert will this be accomplished, and the infighting and arguments +MUST CEASE for the good of us all. + +On the ParaNet system and on Compuserve, I wrote and uploaded a +file entitled LIGHT.TXT, and in UFO Magazine Vol. 3, No. 5 I +called for a UFO summit to be held in order to get the UFO +community organized and to present a unified front. Only by a +unified front, and calling for Congressional hearings, will this +lid ever get torn off, and the truth that is suppressed be +brought to the light of day.

Baker for his article "The + Aliens Among Us: Hypnotic Regression Revisited" (SI, Winter + 1987-88). I have been plagued by hypnogogic hallucinations since + childhood, but until reading this article I didn't know what + they were called or even that other people had them. + + My typical hallucination goes something like this: I am on the + verge of falling asleep. A loud ringing in my ears, sometimes + accompanied by a montage of unearthly voices, signals the onset + of another episode. Though I seem awake, my body is completely + paralyzed. I feel my "spirit" leave my body. The next thing I + know I am floating somewhere near the ceiling, looking down at + myself and my wife at my side. Once free of my body, I can often + control where my ethereal self goes. Sometimes I float all + around the house, and on one occasion I floated through the wall + and out into the yard. Occaionally I sense the presence of other + beings around me. At some point I get bored or frightened by the + whole thing and return to my body and go to sleep. + + Instead of an out-of-body experience, I sometimes have an + extremely vivid auditory and/or visual hallucination. Over the + years I have seen and talked to "ghosts," been visited (though + not yet abducted) by aliens, seen three-dimensional heads + floating by my bed, heard knocks on my door (when no one else + was in the house), and was once attacked by a glowing green + Doberman. These experiences seem as real as life. + + I have never thought of these experiences as anything more than + what they certainly are: my mind playing tricks on itself. The + few other people I've known who have had similar experiences + were all convinced that they were, in Baker's words, + "incontrovertible proof of some sort of objective or consensual + reality." These otherwise rational and intelligent people also + believe that Uri Geller can really bend spoons with his mind. + Take one hypnogogic hallucination and one fantasy-prone + individual and you have all the ingredients you need for a true + believer. + + Based on my own experience, I believe that hypnogogic and + hypnopompic hallucinations provide a rational explanation for + most alien abductions, out-of-body and near-death experiences, + ghosts and just about any other claim of the paranormal you care + to name. Baker states that these hallucinations are a "common yet + little publicized and rarely discussed phenomenon."

Although of- +ficials won't admit it, several researchers have information That +New York 's Indian Point Reactor complex endured such +a UFO problem during the long siege of sightings that +happened throughout the state's Hudson Valley area. +The portrayal of the event in this article is based primarily on +the disclosures of unnamed sources. + + The summer of 1984 was a troublesome season for +authorities at the Indian Point nuclear reactor complex in +Buchanan, New York. Two UFO appearances, one of which was verified +by Carl Patrick, director of nuclear information for the New York +Power Authority (NYPA), and later documented by the press and the +1987 book Night Siege, apparently put the normally tight security +of the plant to a severe test. The first event entailed the brief +flyover of a huge craft, witnessed by three security policemen on +June 14. That was followed ten days later by a UFO incident of +unprecedented impact. It was one of hundreds of UFO sightings in +the Hudson Valley, but one the nuclear workers won't soon forget. + "Here comes that UFO again! " an Indian Point security guard is +said to have yelled on the night of July 24, 1984, alerting other +security personnel by way of the plant's internal +communications system. A UFO, variously described as looking like + "an ice cream cone " and "boomerang, " had lazily drifted over +to Reactor #3-the only active reactor at the time-lingering about +300 feet above the domed construction for some ten minutes, sending +security officials into an uproar. Now, six years later, the +principal UFO researcher on the case admits that many aspects of +the event remain confusing and undisclosed. And although he's still +receiving information, Philip Imbrogno calls his own lengthy +investigation "stagnant." + "Every time new information comes up or I get a lead on +something, I get very reluctant to deal with it again," said +Imbrogno, who heads the science department at the Windward School +in White Plains, New York. "The entire case has caused me quite a +bit of pressure . . . The event would indicate that whatever +appeared over there, our state-of-the-art technology in defense was +unable to deal with it. " He suggests that from what his sources +have said, a military aspect came into play. The Indian Point UFO +represented an intolerable security breach. +Military customers? + + Imbrogno says that it is precisely that aspect which has had a +lasting effect, and which has generated repercussions that continue +to this day. But according to the New York Power Authority, which +oversees the reactor complex, Indian Point itself has no direct +military customers. Reactor #3 primarily services local and state +facilities in New York City and Westchester County, including local +school districts, the New York City subway systems and some of New +York's trains. Most importantly, in Imbrogno's mind, are several +military installations in and around Duchess County, which +allegedly get their power from Indian Point. According to his +sources, these are primarily satellite receiving stations, and "a +number of other military operations of which we can only guess, " +Imbrogno says. The official agency overseeing the reactor complex +is the New York Power Authority, although Consolidated Edison has +jurisdiction over Reactor #2 and is sold use of #3 for extensive +transmissions to New York residential users and, perhaps, military +facilities such as Camp Smith, an Air National Guard base located +north of Peekskill. (Reactor #l is inactive.) + It was NYPA whose officials apparently spent considerable human +energy trying to dissuade Imbrogno from writing about the July 24 +event, concerned he would release information vital to the plant's +security. "I think other agencies were using (the NYPA) to harass +me, " he said, noting that he was constantly subjected to their +repetitive phone calls, threatening that he would be forced to +appear at a hearing on the incident. (He was never subpoenaed, but +Imbrogno subsequently, and perhaps coincidentally, was audited by +the IRS four times.) + The compulsion to publish was undeniable; of what may have been +as many as 70 UFO witnesses among Indian Point personnel, a number +quietly sought out Imbrogno, and on the condition of anonymity +provided him with the vital facts which led to the production of +Night Siege (co-written with Bob Pratt and J. Allen Hynek.) "My +sources involve people who work in security for the plant and also +people in secretarial and janitorial positions," he said. + + "The only problem is that getting anything on paper- +documentation, something official-is very, very hard, I have +unofficial confirmation right now that a number of documents +pertaining to the sighting do exist at the Nuclear Regulatory +Commission. " Normally, NRC records can be opened to the public +under terms of the Freedom of Information Act, but when he in- +quired, Imbrogno was informed that the documents were being held at +the reactor complex, and as such were protected under national +security regulations.

The NYPA's Patrick denies that any such +documentation exists, and dismisses the incident by claiming that +all Hudson Valley UFO sightings were later identified as light +aircraft, There was no videotape taken by on-site surveillance +cameras, Patrick insists, or audio recording of oral +communications, both pieces of evidence which Imbrogno strongly +feels do exist and are being retained somewhere. According to +Imbrogno's sources, a security shake-up ensued the very next day. +"A number of agencies came in, including the NRC and military +personnel, and they supposedly cleaned out everything. You have to +remember that with nuclear reactors, you're only going to get 10 +percent of the real story. They're overly terrified of bad +publicity, and are really afraid of the anti-nuclear groups, which +can cause trouble. Anything that happens is immediately covered up, +including UFO sightings. " + +An 'irregularity' + + Imbrogno further alleges that shortly after the UFO infringement, +a crack in the reactor's casing was discovered. The public didn't +hear about such a situation until a year later; the NYPA's Patrick +denied any "crack, " although he did recall a time when Reactor #2 +may have developed an "irregularity. " Imbrogno says, "[Indian +Point officials] made a public statement that operations were not +affected, that everything was normal. But I've been told by several +people that they lost power, the security system dropped, and the +reactor controls went crazy. Apparently it was caused by the UFO." +No way, says the NYPA. "Any implication that the sightings of +these [light aircraft] in any way affected Reactor #3 is false", +Patrick said. Imbrogno's sources indicate otherwise. Supposedly, a +mass of sophisticated, high-accuracy tracking equipment was +installed at the complex, enabling security to quickly generate a +computer image of whatever aircraft might be affecting the +equipment. Apparently such problems are still going on. Patrick +would not comment on what kinds of security equipment protect +Indian Point, but stressed that nothing new has been installed +since the incident. + Imbrogno is also suspicious that the armed security forces at the +site may have had reason to attempt firing on the craft, again an +allegation flatly refuted by the NYPA. "I know a number of +helicopters with rocket launchers were sent up and followed the +craft for some distance," Imbrogno commented, citing his anonymous +sources for the info. "When these helicopters went on their way, +the object moved off and started crossing the Hudson, and +disappeared up north." + Officials will not talk to Imbrogno, nor answer his letters, he +says. UFO spoke with Cliff Spieler, vice president at the New York +Power Authority. He, like Patrick, basically dismisses the entire +affair. "Having looked into this thing and living two miles from +Indian Point, think the UFO reports are nonsense, " he said. "[All +Hudson Valley UFO sightings] are linked to small planes flying out +of Duchess County." + At one time, officials speaking for Indian Point made their +position quite clear to Imbrogno, "They said, 'you can cooperate +with us, or you don't have to cooperate with us. If you don't +cooperate with us, you have to face the consequences, because you +are dealing in an area of national security. The incident that took +place over there involved national security because it was a breach +of security at a nuclear reactor.' But they weren't ready to say +who was breaching security!" In considering the "who," Imbrogno +took in a number of hypotheses, including the possibility that the +incident was an elaborate test flight of a secret military craft, +such as the B-2 Stealth bomber, or a covertly-planned contingency +test of the plant's security operations, carried out under the +guise of a UFO overflight. + + Nothing is impossible, he'll admit. But the most tenable answer, +he feels, is that the UFO was an extraterrestrial craft. "I don't +think our government could be so bold with a craft of the kind that +appeared at Indian Point," he said. "Talking to these security +people, and looking into their eyes," his voice trailed, " . . +. they tell a story of this one cop who got up on the roof below +the UFO, and the thing started moving a little bit. He pulled out +his gun, looked at it, then put the gun back in his holster and +ducked! . . . The people who were telling these stories are not +familiar with the UFO literature. If I really wanted to go into +this, with no fear of what would happen to me, I'm sure there's an +incredible story here. I am still being given +information about certain things going on there-In the nighttime, +people seeing little creatures coming through the walls of the +casing on the reactor, and military personnel indicating 'we're +aware of these creatures and we don't care if they're from outer +space-shoot 'em!' . . . On a newscast on Channel 7 in New York, +they were interviewing one guy, and he said, 'I saw it going over +the reactor! I think they're sucking the power from it! That's what +they're doing!' But a civilization that has this type of vehicle- +any intelligence, whatever it is-I'm sure doesn't need nuclear +energy." + + Ed. Note: In a letter to UFO shortly after this article was +written, Imbrogno added to his remarks. "It is hard to believe +that people like John Lear and Bill Cooper are revealing 'top +secret' information with little or no repercussions. I just poked +my nose a little too deep into an area of national security and got +my ears pinned back for it. My next step is to approach this in a +legal way by asking for an investigation (preferably by a member of +Congress) to find out how and why the security at this +government reactor was violated and why information is being +withheld." + +End of file. + +--- ZMailQ 1.10 @9:1012/3.0 + * Origin: ParaNet Alpha Delta The Data Base (9:1012/3) + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/indict.ufo b/textfiles.com/ufo/indict.ufo new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f2c3491d --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/indict.ufo @@ -0,0 +1,168 @@ + INDICTMENT + + +The Government of these United States of America, having been +formed under the Constitution and having been duly elected +and appointed by the people of these United States of America +under the terms of the Constitution, has violated the public +trust, terms, conditions and laws of the land as outlined and +enshrined within the Constitution of these United States of +America. + +To Wit: (1) The government has approved and entered into + a secret treaty with an Alien Nation against + the terms of the Constitution and without the + advise and consent of the Congress or the + people. + + (2) The government in this treaty has given this + Alien Nation land and bases within the + borders of these United States of America. + + (3) The government in this treaty has traded + human lives and property for the alien + technology and has denied the citizens of + these United States of America the lawful + protection due them under the Constitution. + The property is in the form of livestock and + land. + + (4) In the taking of human lives, property and + livestock of the citizens of these United + States and in the commission of numerous + other abominable and barbarous acts, this + Alien Nation has proven to be the mortal + enemy of the people, the nation, and all of + humanity.

It was written in October/89. + +====================================================================== + + + + AN MJ-12 INFORMANT + ------------------ + + + by T. Scott Crain, Jr. + + + + During the past decade or so, evidence has been stacking up + + that the U.S. Government has involved itself in retrieving crashed + + UFOs and their occupants. A major outlet for these types of cases + + were first reported in the summer of 1978, when Ohio researcher + + Leonard H. Stringfield, presented 17 abstracts reviewing 'Retrievals + + the Third Kind,' cases of alleged UFOs and occupants in military + + custody, at the Mutual UFO Network's annual symposium held in Dayton, + + Ohio that year. Critic's of Stringfield's paper argued that because + + his informants wished to remain anonymous, it was virtually impossible + + to verify the claims. He continued his quest for more details on the + + UFO crash retrieval question, and published subsequent updates in 1980 + + and 1982. But spectacular claims require extraordinary evidence, and + + Stringfield's anecdotal evidence was insufficient to prove the case. + + + In 1980, noted linguist Charles Berlitz and UFO investigator + + William L. Moore released the book, 'The Roswell Incident' that describes + + how the military intervened and kept secret from the American public the + + recovery of a crashed UFO and occupants outside Roswell, New Mexico in + + 1947. The case was recently reexamined on the September 20, 1989 + + episode of NBC-TV's 'Unsolved Mysteries,' which highlighted several + + witnesses to the investigation and one informant. The informant, Sappho + + Henderson of West Hills, California, told how her late husband, Captain + + Oliver Wendell Henderson, was the pilot who flew the saucer wreckage in + + an Air Force plane to a base in Dayton, Ohio. Walter G. Haut, who was + + a public-relations officer at Roswell Army Air Force base in July, 1947, + + was also on the show, and verified that wreckage from a flying saucer + + was recovered by the Air Force. + + + In September, 1989, UFO researcher Jerome Clark indicates that + + at least three dozen new informants have been interviewed, and that the + + "Roswell incident is surrendering more and more of its secrets, including + + the biggest ones." Investigators for the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO + + Studies are making some interesting discoveries, and hopefully a report + + of their findings will be released in the near future. + + + Support that a UFO did crash near Roswell was bolstered up again + + in 1987, when English writer Timothy Good published for the first time + + alleged official U.S. Government documents outlining how twelve men + + working for the U.S. Government orchestrated the recovery and evaluation + + of a crashed disc that was removed from Roswell, New Mexico, in July, + + 1947. A similar release of this so called 'Briefing Document: Operation + + Majestic 12' occurred several weeks later in the USA by the research + + team of William L. Moore, Jaime H. Shandera and Stanton T. Friedman. + + + According to the documents, MJ-12 was a group of distinguished + + scientists, military and intelligence officials, established by President + + Harry Truman to control the recovery of UFOs. Newspapers around the + + globe reported the allegations that the United States Government covered + + up a UFO crash landing, and recovered it's occupants. But no official + + spokesman would confirm that any of this was true. How does one prove + + MJ-12 exist and the documents are real? + + + Canadian UFO researcher and nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, + + was awarded a $16,000. grant by the Fund for UFO Research to answer + + that question, and he has generated a great deal of information to + + support the validity of the documents. Unfortunately for Friedman, and + + the rest of the research community, all the original designated MJ-12 + + members are dead, so any confirmation must come from second hand + + information or locating other supporting documents to prove the case. + + A progress report of his investigation was made at the 1989 Mutual UFO + + Network symposium, held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Friedman reported there + + is "...no indication that the documents are fradulent and a host of small + + details which tend towards legitimacy for MJ-12." + + + Working on the assumption that the Majestic-12 documents are + + possibly authentic, Canadian UFO researcher Grant Cameron and I found an + + anchor in which to conduct our own investigation. We decided to pursue + + people, not documents. Since the Briefing Document clearly states the + + project is a "TOP SECRET Research and Development Intelligence operation..." + + responsible to the President of the United States, Cameron and I went + + fishing for former members of the R&D Board who were active during the + + late 1940's and early 1950's. Someone out there had to have knowledge + + of a project of this magnitude. + + + During our hunt, we discovered another researcher who had been + + doing a similar check, William Steinman in California. Steinman, author + + of the book, 'UFO Crash at Aztec,' had been corresponding with Fred Darwin, + + the former Executive Director of the Guided Missile Committee for the + + Department of Defense's R & D Board from 1949 to 1954. Steiman asked + + Darwin who would be likely candidates for a flying saucer recovery + + operation, if there ever were such a project. His reply is extraordinary, + + considering he named these people in 1984, three years before the + + Majestic-12 documents were made public. Darwin listed the following + + names: + + + 1.) Dr. Vannevar Bush + + 2.) Dr. Karl T. Compton + + 3.) Dr. Lloyd Berkner + + 4.) Dr. Robert F. Rinehart + + 5.) Dr. Eric A. Walker + + 6.) Dr. John Von Neumann + + + + Bush and Berkner both appeared on the Majestic-12 list in 1987. + + One name that came up that we found interesting was Dr. Eric Walker, + + former President of the Pennsylvannia State University. + + + The fact that Walker may be involved originated with American + + physicist Dr. Robert I. Sarbacher. In the 1950s, Sarbacher was serving + + as a consultant for the military's R & D Board and was a member of the + + Guidance & Control panel. + + + In a September 15, 1950, interview with Canadian scientist + + Wilbert B. Smith, Sarbacher told Smith flying saucers exist, we have + + not been able to duplicate their performance, and the subject of flying + + saucers is classified two points higher than the H-bomb. When the + + contents of this 1950 interview was made public through one of Leonard + + Stringfield's monographs, 'UFO CRASH/RETRIEVAL: AMASSING THE EVIDENCE- + + STATUS REPORT III' in 1982, Steinman managed to find Sarbacher in Palm + + Beach, Florida, and wrote him for more information. + + + In a letter to Steinman dated November 23, 1983, Sarbacher + + confirmed he was "...invited to participate in several discussions + + associated with the reported recoveries..." (of UFOs) but that he was + + unable to attend the meetings. Sarbacher stated that U.S. laboratories + + analyzed that material that reportedly came from these flying saucer + + crashes and that the hardware was "...extrememly light and very tough." + + Sarbacher described the beings that controlled the flying saucer to + + Steinman. He states: + + + "There were reports that instruments or people + operating these machines were also of very + light weight, sufficient to withstand the + tremendous deceleration and acceleration + associated with their machinery. I remember + in talking with some of the people at the + office that I got the impression these "aliens" + were constructed like certain insects we have + observed on earth, wherein because of the mass + the inertial forces involved in operation of + these instruments would be quite low." + + + In an October 1985 issue of the Flying Saucer Review, editor + + Gordon Creighton gave further details about Sarbacher's involvement + + in his article 'TOP U.S. SCIENTIST ADMITS CRASHED UFOs.' Creighton + + writes that although Sarbacher didn't attend, the meetings about the + + recoveries were held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, + + Ohio, where officials were to report their findings to scientists + + connected to the Defence Department's Joint Research and Development + + Board. + + + During a telephone interview between researcher Stanton Friedman + + and Robert Sarbacher, he asked Sarbacher if he could recall anyone who + + attended those meetings. Although he could not recall his name, he + + named enough clues to Friedman, that when William Steinman reviewed the + + conversation, all the evidence led to Dr. Eric A. Walker. In the early + + 1950's, Walker was serving as Executive Secretary of the Research and + + Development Board, and would have been a logical candidate to be asked + + to attend UFO retrieval meetings, if they were held. In a letter to + + Grant Cameron, Steinman said that when he made the discovery, he + + telephoned Sarbacher and asked him if Dr. Eric Walker was the individual + + he was trying to remember. Sarbacher's response, according to Steinman, + + was Walker was the man who attended all those meetings at Wright-Patterson + + Air Force Base. + + + If the evidence we have gathered is true, we now have identified a + + scientist who was in a position to confirm or deny the U.S. Government's + + crash retrieval program. Steinman states he telephoned Walker on August + + 30, 1987. According to Steinman's "word for word" telephone transcript + + of the interview, Dr. Eric A. Walker confirmed attending these meetings + + at Wright-Patterson AFB regarding the "military recovery of flying + + saucers, and the bodies of the occupants."

Nathan Twining of a slight change in the scheduled + meeting of MJ-12. This document is said to be independent + confirmation of the existence of the super-secret Presidential UFO + panel, since it was found in the National Archives. The closest + scrutiny has been paid to this memo, and thus far it has + seemingly eluded debunking. For all intents and purposes, it has + the look, feel, and tenor of the real thing. + + However, it is not without controversy. For starters, an Archives + expert has denied its authenticity on historical grounds. The + alleged maker of the memo, Robert Cutler, was out of the country + when it was typed. Researchers counter that Cutler's assistants, + James Lay and Patrick Coyne, routinely sent out memos under + Cutler's name, and they point to the fact that the memo (extant now + in carbon copy only) is unsigned. + + Since the release of the MJ-12 package of documents in April of + 1987, CSICOPer Klass has hammered away at the Cutler/Twining memo, + and in his latest barrage, argues that it is in a typeface known as + Pica, or 12 point, referring to the height of the characters. In a + letter to MJ-12-ologist Stan Friedman dated January 16th of this + year, Klass states, "You will note that in the tradition of that + era, these White House executives used the smaller Elite typeface." + He encloses a "representative sample of typefaces used by Cutler + and Lay's offices during the 1953-1957 period," all of which are in + the Elite or 10-point typeface. "I challenge you to produce + known-to-be-authentic White House/business letters/memoranda + written by Cutler or Lay during the 1953-55 time period which use a + typeface identical in size and style to that used in the _alleged_ + Cutler/Twining memo..." + + Klass emphasises his challenge in traditional style by offering to + pay Friedman $100 for each such sample, up to a maximum of $1000. + + In a response dated January 20th, Friedman provides no fewer than + 20 such exemplars, more than enough to win the maximum prize. + + His letter to Klass is sprinkled with almost gleeful invective. "I + am enclosing copies straight from my files of various Lay and + Cutler material...first ones at hand, but just the tip of the + iceberg...As usual you are flat out wrong because YOU DO NOT DO + YOUR HOMEWORK AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN TRUTH." In addition, he + takes exception to Klass' statement that Elite is the "traditional" + White House typeface. "How do you dare speak of a tradition of + using elite type at the White House? Just how much White House + material have you examined? The Ike Lib. [Eisenhower Presidential + Library] alone has 250,000 pages of NSC material. The National + Archives has loads as well, but I guess it is too far for you." + (Klass lives in Washington, D.C., Friedman in Canada, yet the + MJ-12-ologist makes frequent trips to the Archives in Washington). + + It is not the first major gaffe on Klass' part regarding the + documents. Back in November of 1987, the debunker sent out a memo + criticizing William Moore's seeming misspelling in "Air Materiel + Command", and slyly noted that the same misspelling crops up in the + Hillenkoetter Briefing, the central MJ-12 document, the implication + being that Moore, and not Hillenkoetter, authored the document. But + true to military tradition, "Materiel" is, for some reason, the + correct spelling in that context. To his credit, Klass was quick to + find his error and redistribute his memo with the words "I GOOFED" + plainly scrawled across the top. However, the incident is cited + by many as a prime example of Klass' quickness to point a finger + at Moore, whom he has all but accused of outright hoax in the MJ-12 + affair. + + It is not altogether certain that Friedman has won this round hands + down. Klass' letter specifically called for "letters" and + "memoranda"; Friedman provides only headings and dates in his + initial response. However, he promises more to come from his visits + to the Truman and Eisenhower libraries; presumably at that time he + will provide full copies of the documents, if he comes across any. + + + MUFON TO COOPER: NO THANKS + + It is not known yet exactly why, but self-ordained Cosmic Watergate + prophet Bill Cooper was invited, and now has been DISinvited, to speak + at the upcoming MUFON convention in Las Vegas. At first, plans + called for a roundtable discussion of MJ-12 researchers, including + Cooper, John Lear, William Moore and Stan Friedman. But in a letter + from MUFON's International Director Walt Andrus, it was implied + that a credibility problem caused the convention planners to change + their minds about including Cooper, who for the past eight months has + flooded computer networks and radio talk shows with sensational + charges of conspiracies involving multi-layered government UFO + projects, underground alien bases, and government cooperation in + alien abductions. + + Cooper, one of three individuals banned from using this network, + has made claims ranging from a "mere" UFO sighting to inside + knowledge of the structure and function of what he insists is the + Majority Agency for Joint Information, or MAJI. He has leveled + charges of disinformation against William Moore, who he claims is + purposely obfuscating the truth by propagating "Majestic-12" + information rather than "MAJI-Controlled" (MAJIC) information. He + has even implicated this reporter in the disinformation campaign. + Cooper's only corroboration is a Hawaiian named Robert Swan, whom + he claims he showed several documents back in 1972. Swan made + several generally corroborative statements to ParaNet's Tom Mickus, + but has thus far refused an in-depth interview with another ParaNet + operative in Hawaii. + + Cooper was banned from most ParaNet outlets in October due to what + was termed "gross prevarication" regarding his claims.

Cooper, by his own admission, provided + contradictory data to the network, ostensibly for the purpose of + "finding out who knew what."

But to those who advocate serious, +scientific study of the UFO phenomenon, its a giant step forward. The +Journal of UFO Studies, as it will be called, will contain articles +submitted by experts in virtually every facet of the phenomenon, including +psychology, sociology, astronomy, physics, and history. The articles will +be screened by the Journal's Board of Editors, which, according to Swords, +reads like a Who's Who of UFOlogy. Heading the board and editing the +Journal will be Swords, himself a professor of genetics at Western +Michigan State University and a board member of CUFOS -- one of UFOdom's +heaviest hitters. After screening, each submission will undergo further +review by a professional in the same field, "preferably," says Swords, +"someone who has little or no previous connection with UFOs." The +reviewer, or "referee," is free to comment on the scientific, logical or +historical validity of the work, and if the work satisfies the basic +requirements for publication, those comments are also published in the +same or a subsequent issue of the Journal. The author can then answer the +referee's comments, and so on. The result is an ongoing dialogue, framed +in an objective, academic setting that most mainstream scientists would at +least find palatable, if not downright credible. + + This system of "peer review" has been one of the missing elements +separating scientific UFOlogy from the mainstream. Long accused of +practicing "pseudo-science," UFOlogists have sought to improve their +methods and bring them in line with the standards of other, more +established sciences. One of those standards is the refereed publication. +In the past, UFO researchers who were otherwise academically qualified +would submit their works to the refereed journals of other disciplines, +only to meet with almost universal rejection -- usually accompanied by a +sneer. UFOlogy was, and for the most part still is, considered something +of a poor cousin to Science with a capital "S". Its simply "unfit" for +consideration by "real" scientists, we are told. + + That is beginning to change. While the release of the Condon Report +in 1969 caused an exodus of news reporters to the cynical side, their +departure has overshadowed a slow but steady trickle of mainstream +scientists and academicians into the "believer" camp -- or more +accurately, the "let's-take-an-objective-look" camp. But these +professionals have been frustrated at the low standards of existing UFO +investigation, research, analysis, and reportage. Combine this with the +palpable sneering of their peers and the lack of a suitable outlet for +their research findings, and its easy to see why many scientists keep a +very low profile in the UFO community. Indeed, its almost certain that +there are other interested scholars out there who could and would make a +valuable contribution to the field, but stay away completely for fear of +scarring their reputations. + + To such potential converts, the Journal of UFO Studies could +represent a watershed, a new demarcation of safe ground. It could send a +signal to the reluctant UFOlogist, saying, "It's alright, its safe to come +in here. We're younger and bolder and we're groping in the dark, but we're +just like the big boys." Swords claims to have already received favorable +responses from several academics, otherwise unconnected with the UFO +field, who have tentatively agreed to act as referees. Also, those who +have written negatively about UFOs in the past will be contacted to pass +judgement on submissions. Swords named as an example Dr. Robert Baker of +the University of Kentucky, who wrote a scathing denunciation of the +abduction syndrome for CSICOP. "As long as they are capable of keeping +things objective and scholarly," says Swords, "their submissions are +welcome." Swords did not comment on whether this included Phil Klass; +however, presumably he does not qualify as a scientist or academic. +Certainly his past writings have belied an inability to remain objective. + + Swords hopes to publish the Journal quarterly, but admits that may +be unrealistic. "I think its more likely that it will wind up being semi- +annual." However often it comes out, it may just be the best thing to +happen to UFOlogy since Hynek's conversion. + + Its certainly the best news I'VE heard this year. + + --Jim Speiser + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/insd0788.asc b/textfiles.com/ufo/insd0788.asc new file mode 100644 index 00000000..79340283 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/insd0788.asc @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ + ============== +INSIDE UFOLOGY +July 1988 +============== + + +CUFOS MEMBERS DO ABOUT-FACE ON GULF BREEZE + +ParaNet Alpha 07/03 -- "History tells us that [UFO] pictures that look +fake...ARE fake." Those words, written by ufologist Jerome Clark, may come +back to haunt him. Clark edits the International UFO Reporter, organ of +the Center for UFO Studies, and is a longtime contributing editor to FATE +Magazine. His words were part of an editorial for the March/April issue of +the IUR, entitled "Ill Breeze," and referred to the series of photos taken +by "Mr. Ed" in Gulf Breeze, FL, of an object that Clark said resembled +"something that you use to cover a lightbulb with." + + Clark was echoing the view held by many CUFOS staffers that the Gulf +Breeze photos just look too "hokey" to be real. Indeed, sentiments seem to +be running along almost strictly organizational lines: Don Schmitt, Mark +Rodeghier, Michael Swords, George Eberhardt, and Robert Boyd, CUFOS mem- +bers all, have each expressed extreme doubts about the case and its inves- +tigation, while most MUFON higher-ups, including Dennis Stacy and Walt +Andrus, have maintained a "wait and see" posture -- at least, in the case +of Andrus, when they weren't gushing about the case being the "most sig- +nificant in history," etc. This schism gave the appearance of signifying a +chill in the usually friendly relationship between the two groups, an +appearance that Schmitt told ParaNet was illusory and unwarranted. + + Feud or not, a thaw is most definitely in the air. Shmitt told us +that the problem seems to have been one of miscommunication. "There's a +lot to this case we hadn't seen before," he said. And now, ParaNet has +learned that Jerry Clark has changed his mind and is expressing "support" +for the case. + + The turning point seems to be the presentation by Dr. Bruce Maccabee +at the 1988 MUFON Symposium in Lincoln, at which he showed the results +thus far of his photo analysis work. "We can only learn from this case," +said Maccabee. "If its a hoax, we will learn about a new kind of hoaxer, +one who seeks no notoriety for himself, who is well-established in his +community, who cooperates fully with investigators, even going so far as +to build a special camera mount to our specifications, and who is so con- +fident in his work that he uses a special, sealed 3-D camera provided by +investigators. Obviously, if its real, we will learn a tremendous amount +about the nature of the UFO phenomenon." + + Among other things, he had determined the object in at least one +photo to be around 18 feet in diameter and 14 feet tall. Use of the +special dual-camera mount referred to earlier had determined that the +image is not a double exposure. And triangulation of the two images showed +it to be not less than 150 feet from the photographer, out over the bay +that separates Gulf Breeze from the mainland of Florida. + + One by one, Maccabee either refuted or clarified objections to the +case raised by, among others, Robert Boyd of CUFOS...27 points in all. +Even Phil Klass was impressed enough to compliment Maccabee, and seemed to +be at a loss for major objections. + + In the meantime, Schmitt is not letting MUFON completely off the +hook. He still objects to the comments of some of the principals in the +case, most notably Andrus, Don Ware, and Budd Hopkins. He maintains they +were "hasty" and "unprofessional" in their early exposure of the details +of the reports, and in some of their positive, seemingly over-credulous +comments. And he wishes MUFON had shared some of the more positive details +of the photo-analysis earlier, before either group had published in their +respective journals. + + And Jerry Clark? Well, he's changed his mind before. His address at +the symposium was on the return of the nuts-and-bolts theory of UFOs, and +how the "paraphysical" and "psychic" explanations were just cop-outs. This +from a man who had co-written a previous tome, with Loren Coleman, on the +psychic aspects of the UFO phenomenon. + + [For the record, the ParaNet rating of the Gulf Breeze case stands +at S5/P5, Highly Strange, Data Unreliable/Probable Hoax; however, whereas +it previously bordered on P1, it is now very close to becoming a P3. Fur- +ther photoanalysis results, if in any way conclusive, will have a great in- +fluence on the rating.] + +----------------------- + +AND NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.... + + Back in June of 1978, a retired Air Force Colonel appeared on TV's +Merv Griffin show to discuss his UFO sighting of 1954, when he was a B-52 +pilot. "We were cruising at 10,000 feet when we spotted a target somewhere +around 20,000 to 25,000 feet. It was about seven miles in front of us to +our right, and we were overtaking it. It then started descending across +our flight path, and I decided to check it out. So I advanced power and +began closing a little faster and descending. We kept getting closer and +closer and pretty soon we were within a mile of the object, flying over +trees at 345 MPH." + The plane closed to within an eighth of a mile of the disc-shaped +object. "It was about 60 feet in diameter and 10 or 11 feet thick through +the center," he said. "It had what looked like a titanium-type finish +(silver gray). I pulled up and made a hard turn that put it out of sight +for roughly four seconds. We whipped back to pull up alongside of it and +it wasn't there. I zoomed up to 1500 feet. `There it is!' I said. It was +about 2 miles in front of us going across a field leaving a dusty trail +behind it. I guessed its speed at about 170 MPH." After another dive, the +crew lost sight of the object. "We never saw it again," said Air Force +Colonel William Coleman, former Public Information Officer for Project +Blue Book, who until that broadcast, had emphatically denied that he had +ever had such an experience. [Source: MUFON Journal, June 1988] + +---------------------- + +MJ-12's DAY IN COURT? + + The war of words between MJ-12 proponent William Moore and debunker +Phil Klass is heating up. After releasing a venomous attack on Klass' ob- +jections to MJ-12 through his publication, Fair Witness Focus, Moore pub- +lished a similar monograph in the proceedings of the 1988 MUFON Symposium. +Since Moore failed to show for the event, the paper was never delivered, +but Klass responded to the charges of "straight-out lying" and other ob- +fuscations by implying that he would be contacting attorneys about pos- +sible libel charges. + Moore, in the meantime, has sent an open letter to Klass in which he +outlines 19 incidents in which he feels Klass has strained the boundaries +of objective investigation, through the use of "vicious, vituperative at- +tacks," "insinuation," and "innuendo." Moore's major objection is Klass' +alleged implication that he, Moore, may be a willing accomplice to the +forgery of government documents in the MJ-12 affair. For example, in the +December 15, 1987 issue of "Saucer Smear," Klass is quoted as saying in a +letter, "In my opinion, Moore's behavior in the past six months is NOT +that of an innocent victim of somebody else's hoax." (Emphasis in origi- +nal). + Moore ends the letter by demanding of Klass "written acknowledgement +that you do not now and never have possessed proof positive that the...MJ- +12 documents...are fraudulent." Further, he wants Klass to acknowledge +that his public statements were not intended to imply that Moore or any of +his associates were involved in a hoax; and predictably, Moore wants a +written apology.

Boyd was/was not + kicked out of MUFON. + + Boyd, who had concurrent titles of Investigations Coordinator + for CUFOS and Alabama State Director for MUFON, was definitely + asked to resign from the latter organization by its chief, + Walter Andrus. But in a July 14th press release, first picked up + by James Moseley's Saucer Smear, Boyd claimed that Andrus + informed him "that he was no longer a member of MUFON." Andrus + flatly denied the charge, saying "the subject never came up." + + Andrus, in a phone conversation from MUFON headquarters in + Seguin, TX, told ParaNet that Boyd had been told to resign due + to "unprofessional investigative techniques" in his work on the + Gulf Breeze, FL, photographic case. He said he had asked Boyd to + come along on the investigation last January, as a gesture of + cooperation between the two organizations; but that since that + time, Boyd had conducted a "smear campaign" against "Mr. Ed," + the chief witness in the case. Andrus said Boyd had "gone off + half-cocked," going on talk shows as a MUFON representative with + faulty and downright false information about the case. "I + demanded his resignation, and he refused," said Andrus. "I + relieved him of his duties [as State Director] anyway. But I + never told him he was out of the organization." Simple MUFON + membership consists mainly of a subscription to the + organization's Journal. + + "I'm telling you that he lied to you," said Boyd in response. + "What's in my [release] is just what happened." Boyd's release + expresses "complete disgust" with the Gulf Breeze investigation, + and cites "suppression of all facts, collaboration between + investigators and/or witnesses, and a four-month campaign to + discredit [me]." In a phone call, Boyd cited further instances + of what he called "shoddy" techniques on the part + of the primary investigators, Charles Flannigan, Donald Ware, + and Andrus. In one conversation, Boyd asked Flannigan + if one of the photos turned out to be a hoax, would it destroy + the case in their minds? "ALL the photos would have to be proven + hoaxes," Boyd quotes Flannigan as saying. + + Boyd still has the support of the Hynek Center, according to Don + Schmitt, one of CUFOS' directors. And the Center is none too + thrilled with an article in the latest MUFON Journal, in which + Andrus made it sound as if CUFOS members were on bended knee, + begging for forgiveness for having written several anti-Gulf + Breeze articles. He charged that Schmitt, George + Eberhard and others had "unwittingly accepted the distorted + information supplied" by Boyd. He claimed that the two seemed + "shocked by revelations of the truth," referring to information + Andrus provided them at the MUFON Symposium at Lincoln. + "Obviously," says Andrus, "they were embarrased for the + premature article in the CUFOS Bulletin and the International + UFO Reporter." + + "Nonsense," says Schmitt. "Obviously, there is a lot of + information in this case, and some of it we have not been privy + to. But we stand fully behind our basic premise, which is that + of calling for an independent investigation and analysis of the + evidence by a non-UFO entity, such as a government agency." + + Ware said that such an analysis might be in the works, but + declined to give details. + + "We also still decry the premature publicity given the case by + MUFON, and the premature declarations of authenticity" by such + people as Andrus, Budd Hopkins and Donald Ware. "This case + stands or falls on the evidence, and the evidence isn't all in + yet." + + Generally, reaction to Boyd's alleged removal from the ranks of + MUFON was surprise. "Does this mean we all have to agree with + Walt in order to keep our positions?", one MUFON officer asked. + "I thought this was a scientific organization." + + But Andrus was unruffled. "My action [regarding Boyd] was due to + his spreading false and grossly irresponsible information about + Ed in the name of MUFON. I would never ask anyone to resign + simply because they didn't agree with me. But we have a certain + standard of responsible investigation that needs to be adhered + to." + + Boyd, in the meantime, is continuing to "research" the case from + his home in Mobile, Alabama. He says he is offering copies of + all his Gulf Breeze correspondence to anyone interested, for a + small fee to cover copying and postage. And he continues to be + outspoken about his conviction that "Mr. Ed" is a hoaxer. "I'm + 95% convinced that this is bogus," he muses. "But I'm willing to + leave the other 5% open, just in case." + +<<>> + +COMMENTS: + Initially, I praised Boyd for expressing the same reservations I + had with the GB case. But as one independent researcher asked + me, rather plaintively, "What exactly is it that Boyd is + pointing to, regarding the evidence itself, that makes him say + its a hoax?" I had to agree, Boyd's main contentions are with + the quality of the investigation and the attitudes of the + investigators. He points out very little with regard to the + photographs, deferring instead to Dr. Willy Smith of UNICAT, who + published one paper critical of the case. Part of that paper was + based on weather information supplied by Ray Stanford, which was + later discredited. + + Boyd also points to gaps in our knowledge of Mr. Ed's + background, and rather freely bandies about the suggestion that + Ed has done hard time at some point in the past. He offers no + evidence except hearsay. I believe I was not supposed to print + that; but then, Boyd didn't know me from Adam, and therefore he + was not supposed to say that. It may very well be an example of + the "irresponsibility" Andrus spoke of. + + As Boyd said, there's politics, ego, and wishful thinking at + work here. However, without solid evidence, we have not the + slightest reason to call this an outright hoax. + + As the independent researcher said, poor investigative + techniques "are not Ed's fault."

If the matter were settled tomorrow one + way or the other, it will still take years to repair the rifts + it has caused in many ufological camps. + + Several resignations have reportedly come in the wake of Walt + Andrus' firing of Robert Boyd. At least one, that of National + Public Information Director Marge Christensen of Tucson, was + headed off at the last minute by Andrus, who reportedly promised + her he would cease and desist from further "unscientific" + statements in the MUFON Journal, which statements implied + all-out endorsement of the case as real. In the monthly MUFON + Newsletter, a semi-private organ circulated to State Directors + and other key researchers, Christensen complained of being + "dismayed by what I consider to be unprofessional and certainly + unscientific conduct...and comments in print...in regard to + speculation about privately held views of members of CUFOS." But + after speaking with Andrus and Deputy Director Dan Wright, + Christensen agreed to a leave of absence until after the + November Presidential elections. But privately, she holds out + little hope of rejoining the organization. "Walt seems bound and + determined to make this case a cause celebre," she told ParaNet. + "I hope he is really listening to reason, and not just + sweet-talking me to keep me in MUFON." + + But other resignations may follow. Richard Hall, Deputy Director + for Publications and author of the recent "Uninvited Guests," + told ParaNet he is "spearheading a campaign" to get MUFON to + look more closely at its Gulf Breeze investigation, and to be + more responsible in its public statements about the case. Hall, + one of Ufology's savviest practitioners, reportedly called for + an "extraordinary meeting of the Board" of MUFON via + Teleconference, and it is said he will resign if the group + continues its present course. According to various sources, that + course may include a major media thrust in the near future, + possibly including a press conference timed to coincide with the + upcoming TV documentaries that will showcase the UFO situation. + + At least one of those documentaries, the NBC program "Unsolved + Mysteries," to air on October 5th, is said to be "very pro-Gulf + Breeze." The other will apparently be more balanced, but one of + the producers of that program, Tracy Torme, is very taken with + the case. "I went there [to Gulf Breeze] 85% convinced that its + real, and after talking to Ed for two days, I'm now 99% + convinced. I'm leaving the door open for the slight possibility + that all of the witnesses, including Ed's wife and teenage + daughter, are lying." Torme will appear in a live nationwide + computer conference on CompuServe Sept. 18th. + + In other developments: + + - UFO debunker Phil Klass got wind of the fact that ParaNet was + snooping around to find out whether CSICOP was behind the Gulf + Breeze affair. He called us to deny any knowledge of such a + "constructive hoax." "Certainly CSICOP has nothing to do with it, + and, while [fellow debunker Amazing] Randi DOES live down there, + I highly doubt he has anything to do with it either." + + - Klass has found a flaw in one of the photos that may be + significant. While a streetlight in the shot can plainly be seen to + be blurred in such a way as to indicate camera movement, the UFO + remains perfectly focused and sharp-edged. Photoanalyst Bruce + Maccabee explains that Ed was "tracking" the moving object with + the camera; however, Klass doubts that such can be done so + clearly with a one-second time exposure in low ambient light. + + - ParaNet spoke with the Mayor of Gulf Breeze, the honorable + Edward Grey. Grey, a long-time friend of "Mr. Ed," the main + percipient, claims the whole thing is a hoax. "Ed is a heck of a + nice guy, very charming, but it is totally consistent with his + personality to pull off a stunt like this." When asked if it was + also consistent with the personalities of Mrs. Ed or Ed's + daughter, the Mayor replied, "Well, I wouldn't know about that." + When asked about the other 135 witnesses reported to have seen + the object, Grey is doubtful. "When you have a lot of publicity + attached to something like this, people are bound to look up in + the sky and report any strange thing. They may have seen UFOs, + but to my knowledge no one is seeing or experiencing the things + that Ed is supposedly seeing. And in all this time, no one on + Ed's block has seen a thing." The Mayor seemed unaware that Ed's + across-the-street neighbors have reportedly had a sighting of an + object very similar to Ed's -- despite the fact that they don't + know that their neighbor Ed is the famous UFO witness being + talked about. + + - Grey complained that neither of the two documentaries had been + in touch with his office. Nor, for that matter, had any of the + MUFON investigators. We understand now, however, that the + producers of "UFO COVER-UP" (Oct. 14th) have made an appointment + to interview the Mayor live during that broadcast (partially, + perhaps, at our urging). + + For some undefinable reason, it seems many people are looking to + October, the month of the TV expose's, as the time when the case + will be resolved. Perhaps because it would be a perfect time for + a debunker, or Ed himself, to jump up and yell "Gotcha!" Or + perhaps because, with the increased scrutiny such national + exposure will bring, a competent investigator will stumble + across the "string in the photos" -- or the smoking gun that + shows it to be genuine. Whatever the reason, the general feeling + seems to be that this "can't go on much longer." + + +MORE ON THE OCT. 14TH EXPOSE' + + Although we have been in constant contact with the producers of + "UFO COVER-UP: LIVE," sad to say we cannot divulge much of what + we have been told. We can, however, pass along two exclusive + tid-bits. First, a host has been chosen: it is Mike Farrell, he + who portrayed B.J.

Almost no one disputes that something +strange occurred near the base during late December of 1980, but +what it was remains shrouded in mystery. Odd moving lights were +reported in the sky and in the Rendlesham Forest that separates +Bentwaters from its nearby sister base (now closed) called RAF +Woodbridge. Soldiers were dispatched into the woods, led by Lt. +Colonel Charles Halt, USAF. (Though on British soil, both +bases were manned by American forces). + +On January 13, 1981, Halt sent a classified memo regarding the +events to the British Ministry of Defence. That memo, released +to U.S. UFO researcher Robert Todd in June of 1983 through +the Freedom of Information Act, says that several witnesses +reported a triangular, metallic, highly luminous object either +hovering or standing on legs, and then maneuvering through the +forest, on the night of December 27. Though not a witness to +this object himself, Halt said that the next morning he did +witness three depressions in the ground, arranged in a +triangular pattern, that apparently marked where the object had +stood. Halt further stated that on the following night he and +others witnessed an astounding display of moving lights in the +sky. + +Halt's memo left little doubt that whatever happened was out of +the ordinary, but continuing efforts by independent researchers +have not resolved the Bentwaters mystery, and current opinions +vary widely. Some now believe the strange events were all +staged as part of a very elaborate psychological warfare test, +possibly involving mind-control techniques. Others say craft of +unknown origin were seen at close range, and that extensive +photo and physical evidence was gathered at the site -- all of +which was then locked away in government vaults. Still others +say not only craft but "aliens" were seen and contacted. +Finally, there are the hard-line skeptics who say nothing at all +remarkable happened, except that airmen who should know better +mistook the light of a nearby lighthouse in the fog for +something otherworldly. + +Now CNI News has learned of a U.S. soldier who was stationed +at Bentwaters some years after the famous 1980 events, but who +saw several things that lend strong credence to the strange +claims associated with the base. This soldier prefers that his +name not be used in this story, but he has communicated under +his own name with CNI News editor Michael Lindemann. + +Concerning his military background, the soldier says: "I entered +the service in 1983 and was assigned to RAF Bentwaters in 1984. +I was involved in nuclear weapons and because of our extensive +background investigations, members of our section were often +called upon to do other high-security details. Since even the +Security Police didn't have as high a clearence, a lot of these +details were simply being our own guards -- hence my access to +the vault (see below). I volunteered for as many of these +details as I could because it was supposed to create an +impressive military record. However, when I arrived at my next +base (I left Bentwaters late in '86) no records of my special +duties followed me. I called my immediate supervisor when I +discovered this and he said, 'What happens at Bentwaters stays +at Bentwaters.' I think this had more to do with security than +UFOs. I was an enlisted man and I was an E-4 Sgt when I entered +the vault. I left the service in 1988. I was still angry that +none of my record followed me. I simply didn't re-enlist and +had an honorable discharge. I was still an E-4." + +Here is the soldier's account of his extraordinary experience +in "the vault" at Bentwaters, where apparently something very +interesting and very secret is hidden. + +"On RAF Bentwaters there is a secured area around the flightline. + This is normal and many people have access, but not all. Inside + this area is another secured area containing the munitions dump. + Again, this is normal; fewer people have access to this. On this + particular base there is another weapons storage area that only a + few people can get in. You are searched and must travel around + in pairs inside this area. It is heavily guarded. The bunkers + in this area require an elaborate key and password sequence to get + in. One particular bunker is different. + +"Inside this bunker is a vault with two combinations and two locks. + Because of regulations, no one person can have access to more than + one [combination or lock]. Hence, if you can get a key you won't + get the combo, or vice-versa. It takes four people to open the + door -- plus the security team verifying passwords, etc. This is + the most secure area I have ever seen in the Air Force. + +"I was picked to be a key holder, which meant that I was armed, and + told to escort the individual who needed [access to] the vault, + along with the three others needed to open the door. I don't know + who the individual was; he was American and a civilian. We opened + the door and I at first couldn't believe it. It contained a + roughly-made shelf made out of two-by-fours holding two old wooden + crates. The individual opened one of the crates, which was only + sealed with a lead seal, and inside was a green styrofoam container + in two halves. He opened it up and inside was a rod about a quarter + inch in diameter and bent about three times along its length. It + looked solid and if it were straight it would be about a foot long. + It was dull but corrosion free from what I could tell. The man + looked at it for about a minute, then put it away and resealed the + box with a new lead seal. + +"For his minute we spent about four hours preparing to open the + vault. It is that secure. + +"That was when I started asking questions about why a small rod + would require so much security. The underlings such as me hadn't + a clue, but when I started asking others I was told not to + worry about it. One officer that I knew personally once said + under his breath that it was 'proof,' but when I pressed him he + denied saying it. The only other response I got, from people + who obviously didn't know, [was] that it probably had something + to do with all the UFOs that supposedly visit the base." + +This soldier has no doubt that he saw something very extraordinary +in that vault, but he was highly skeptical of a UFO connection +until he had his own amazing sighting at Bentwaters some time +later. Here is his account. + +"I was working nights and for once the sky above the base was + clear. I took an astronomy class in college and was testing my + knowledge of the constellations when I saw what looked like an + equilateral triangle. Of all the constellations, none I could + think of formed a triangle with such bright stars. I had been + looking and thinking for about five or ten minutes when, right + when I was looking directly at them, the stars turned a full + circle, each ending up where they started, and then shot out at + 90 degree angles from the direction they were moving, and within + a second were gone over the horizon, each going a different + direction. Because they were just points of light I figured + they were far away and that would make their speed something + incredible. I was so shook up I took the rest of the night off + and for weeks had this nightmare that all the stars in the sky + were spinning, and thus the end of the universe was near. That + may sound strange, but it was that disturbing." + +It is interesting to compare this soldier's sighting with +Colonel Halt's eyewitness description of events on December 28, +1980. Halt wrote in his memo: "Three star-like objects were +noticed in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the +south, all of which were about 10 degrees off the horizon. The +objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and displayed +red, green and blue lights. The objects to the north appeared +to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens. They then turned +to full circles. The objects to the north remained in the sky +for an hour or more. The object to the south was visible for +two or three hours and beamed down a stream of light from time +to time." + +================================================================= +"In all times and all places, with the possible exception of + Western Europe for the past two hundred years, a social commerce + between human beings and various types of discarnate entities, + or non-human intelligences, was taken for granted." + + -Terence McKenna +================================================================= + +Excerpt from: +CNI News - Volume 13.7 +December 28, 1995 +Published by the ISCNI News Center +Editor: Michael Lindemann +ISCNI@aol.com + +ISCNI encourages you to respond to stories in CNI News. +Private responses can be emailed to ISCNI@aol.com, +subj: CNI News Editor + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/intro.ufo b/textfiles.com/ufo/intro.ufo new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c18a515c --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/intro.ufo @@ -0,0 +1,239 @@ + INTRODUCTION + ------------ + + The "open society" and "the free exchange of ideas" are generally +regarded not only as praiseworthy ideals but as indelible characteristics +of twentieth-century Western democracy. Their concomitants, freedom of +speech and the press, are held to be rights the infringement of which +places in jeopardy all other democratic liberties, for it is only through +freedom of expression that the citizenry of a democratic state can reach +an informed consensus. + + Thus the fate of this book and the ordeal of its author, Judge +Wihelm Staglich, is a telling indictment of the Federal Republic of +Germany's imposture as a sovereign democracy. No less is the silence of +those Western circles which so loudly profess devotion to freedom of +expression in other cases a condemnation of their own hypocrisy, for there +are few if any parallels in the recent history of democratic states for the +sustained hounding and persecution which Judge Staglich has endured over +the past twenty years. + + Judge Staglich is unfortunate enough to have trusted his own powers +of observation and to have refused to muzzle himself when the issue was not +only historical truth, but the honor of his country. For, having been +stationed near the Auschwitz concentration camp during Second World War, in +which he served as an officer in an anti-aircraft unit, he made so bold +after the war, when his dismembered fatherland was being re-educated in its +various parts to execrate the allegedly unique wickedness of its conduct, +to remark on his own observations of the camp, which divergeed considerably +from the horror stories which became the staple of Germany's post-war +"mastering of the past". + + In 1965 Staglich, who was serving as a judge in Hamburg, was +denounced by a colleague to the Jewish mayor of the city as a "Nazi" for +his heretical remarks on Auschwitz. Judge Staglich then underwent a +two-year "disciplinary proceeding" aimed at driving him from the bench, +which included an obligatory "psychiatric evaluation". + + This first effort to silence Judge Staglich, which failed for lack +of evidence, served rather to goad than to intimate the courageous jurist. +In 1973 he published an account of his Auschwitz observations in the +magazine NATION EUROPA. Staglich's public challenge to the official version +of life at Auschwitz brought forth a succession of measures aping those of +the modern totalitarian states, and making a sad mockery of the proud +struggle for freedom of expression and inquiry waged by German academics in +the preceding century and a half. + + Judge Staglich was the subject of a second inquisition by which he +was induced to resign, his health having been affected by the campaign +against him. The proceeding was continued, however, with the object of +scripping Staglich of his pension (the authorities eventually settled on +reducing the judge's pension by twenty percent over a fire-year period). + + Prematurely retired, Staglich set to work on a systematic study of +the evidence supposedly substantiating systematic murder by gassing at +Auschwitz , a study to which he brought juristic experience unique in the +Revisionist movement. This book, the fruit of those researches, is the most +comprehensive examination of the various "proofs" offered for the Auschwitz +myth, as well as a damning analysis of the several post-war trials staged +by the Allied victors and their fuglemen in the Federal Republic, most +notably the famous "Auschwitz Trial" which took place in Frankfurt in +1963-1965. + + The appearance of DER AUSCHWITZ MYTHOS in West Germany in 1979 +spurred the custodians of the myth of Germany's solitary and monstrous +guilt in the war to new excesses in censorship. West German authorities set +in motion the procedure by which offending books are "indexed" as "harmful +to youth", thereby severely restricting their advertising and distribution. +Nevertheless, all but seven of the 10,000 copies of the first edition had +been sold by the time the book was ordered seized as a result of further +legal action by the government. + + In a crowning absurdity, Judge Staglich was "deprived" of the +doctoral degree he had earned at the University of Gottingen in 1951. In +this action the university authorities had recourse to a law signed +personally by the late Fuhrer and Reichskanzler, Adolf Hitler, to all of +whose values and practices the Federal Republic proclaims itself a standing +reproach. A series of other harassments, from police raids on Judge +Staglich's home to seize forbidden literature to the enactment of a +constitutional provision aimed at those who dare to question the +"Holocaust", has followed. + + It would tax the powers of belief of even the least +conspirational-minded to imagine that there was something adventitious or +arbitrary about the actions of West German authorities, which have been +undertaken under "conservative" and "social democratic" regimes alike. +Their activities, carried out with unswerving purpose against one man and +his ideas for more than twenty years, give abundant evidence that the +maintenance of orthodoxy on the statemandated "Holocaust" tale is far more +important than is the maintenance of even lip service to freedom of +expression and inquiry. + + As Wilhelm Staglich has written: + + " ...We Germans, in spite of the repeated assurances to the + contrary of our puppet politicians, are politically and + intellectually no longer a sovereign nation since our defeat in + the Second World War. Our political subservience, which is + apparent in the fact of the breaking up of the Reich and the + incorporation of the individual pieces into the extant power + blocks of the East and of the West, has had as its consequence a + corresponding intellectual subservience. Escape from this + intellectual subservience is prevented primarly by the guilt + complex inculcated in most Germans through the "re-education" + instituted in 1945. This guilt complex is based primarily on the + Holocaust legend. Therefore for us Germans the struggle against + what I have called the 'Auschwitz Myth' is so frightfully + important. " + + The suppresion of DER AUSCHWITZ MYTHOS in West Germany, however, is +less than even a Pyrrhic victory for the world-wide forces which strive to +impose a one-sided, propagandistic history of the Second World War, a +history which has as its central motif the "Holocaust" hoax. It is rather +humiliating acknowledgement of their inability to confront modern +Revisionism according to the canons of scholarship, an inability that has +manifested itself in the Holocaust Establishment's attempts to suppress the +writings of scholars such as Arthur Butz and Robert Faurisson. + + The appearance of this translation of THE AUSCHWITZ MYTH under the +auspices of the Institute for Historical Review, indeed, confers upon the +Staglich affair the aspect of triumph and victory. A little more that two +years after the Institute's headquarters were reduced to a heap of ashes +and rubble by a terrorist attack, the English-speaking world has gained +access to this vital Revisionist work. The work of "bringing history into +accord with the facts" goes on; ultimately, there is no power on earth +which will stop it. + + Theodore J. O'Keefe + December, 1986 + + + + + + + FOREWORD + -------- + + "Auschwitz - it was hell". For all its subjectivity, this remark +attributed to a former inmate does not begin to characterize the +emotion-charged ideas the word Auschwitz evokes today. Auschwitz symbolizes +more than the multitudinous agonies suffered in concentration camps, not +only German camps during the war, but concentration camps everywhere, past +and present: It has come to symbolize the "murder of millions of European +Jews". Everyone "knows" that we are not "supposed to" voice the slightest +doubt regarding the legend that is Auschwitz, or even relate personal +experiences that might not be entirely in line with it. Indeed, to commit +such heresy is to run the risk of losing one's livelihood. For the powers +that be have ordained that Auschwitz must be viewed in one way only. + + That is exactly what should make us leery. Truth does not require +coercion to be accepted. Its persuasiveness does not depend on constant +repetition of bold-faced claims. All that is really needed for truth to +prevail is to show the facts, and let common sense to the rest. + + What then could be more natural than to examine the factual basis +of the allegation that Auschwitz was the site of the most extensive and +atrocious massacre of Jews in history? Almost everybody is familiar with +this claim, but nobody can say just what evidence there is to support it. +People have come to regard the whole subject as taboo. I noticed this was +true even of the judges who imposed a relatively harsh penalty on me for my +having published, in the form of an open letter, a de visu account of +the Auschwitz parent camp that conflicts with the now current picture of +Auschwitz. + + When I wrote that letter, it was far from my intention to dispute +the extermination thesis per se. Anyway, that would have been outside the +scope of my account. However, the reaction it provoked made me realize for +the first time what importance the powers that have for decades been +determining our destiny as a nation place on the Auschwitz taboo. That +realization awakened in me an irresistable urge to research the historical +sources for the allegation that Auschwitz was an "extermination camp", and +come to grips with it. I believe my findings deserve to be brought to the +attention of the general public. + + At the outset, let one thing be noted: Contrary to popular belief, +Auschwitz was not a single camp under central administration. Rather, it +consisted of a number of individual camps of various sizes, some of which +had considerable organizational autonomy. The actual Auschwitz camp -the so +called Stammlager ("parent camp" or "main camp", also known as Auschwitz I) +- was situated about 2 km southwest of the town of Auschwitz in Upper +Silesia. Not this camp, but the Birkenau camp, located about 3 km west of +the town, is supposed to have been the site of the extermination of the +Jews. There was a series of other camps in the Auschwitz region, some of +which had been established for special purposes, such as Raisko, for +agricultural experiments, and Monowitz, for the production of synthetic +rubber. All these camps were associated, more or less loosely, with the +main camp. Thus it is hardly correct to designate "Auschwitz" as an +"extermination camp", pure and simple, as people often do, perhaps from +ignorance. Basically, "Auschwitz" was a network of labor camps established +in the industrial area of Upper Silesia for the German war economy. The +Birkenau camp ("Auschwitz II"), which is the focal point of the +extermination claims, served primarily as an internment camp for specific +groups of prisoners, such as Gypsies, women with children, as well as the +chronically ill and those who were otherwise incapable of labor. It also +served as a transit camp and, initially, even as a POW camp. In the spring +of 1943, several crematoria -allegedly containing "gas chambers" for the +extermination of Jews- were put into operation there, while the original +camp crematorium in "Auschwitz I" was shut down in July 1943. + + The real subject of our investigation is the charge that Birkenau +was an "extermination camp". This work is not intended to give a definitive +picture of Auschwitz -something that would, in any case, be beyond the +limited resources at my disposal. It also has no pretensions to being a +"Geschichtsschau" in the Ranken sense, that is an attempt to depict +Auschwitz "as it really was". Rather, it is an effort to survey, examine, +and assess as objectively as possible the evidence that has thus far been +presented for the claim that Auschwitz was a "death factory". + + Unfortunately, the Institut fur Zeitgeschichte [Institute for +Contemporary History] in Munich has not seen fit to grant my request for +its assistance. My correspondence with the institute is so revealing that I +must share it with my readers (see Appendix III). Likewise, I was refused +permission to examine relevant trial records (see Appendices IV and V), and +therefore had to rely on published collections of trial documents, such as +they exist. + + I am aware, of course, that Auschwitz is not the only camp that has +been linked to the "extermination of the Jews". Nevertheless, it assumes +such importance in this connection, both qualitatively and quantitatively, +that I am convinced that the extermination thesis stands or falls with the +allegation that Auschwitz was a "death factory". That alone should justify +my restricting the scope of this inquiry. + + Finally, let it be noted that the present volume is the work not of +a professional historian, but of a jurist with an interest in recent +history. Naturally, I have tried to observe the rules of scholarship. My +intention is not to polemicize, but to take stock of the evidence that has +thus far been presented for the claim that Auschwitz was a "death factory", +as objectively as possible, and draw the logical conclusions from it. If +certain passages in this work strike the reader as polemical, he would do +well to ask himself whether such lapses are not unavoidable given the +nature of the subject. + + + Dr. Wilhelm Staglich + + Hamburg, December 1978. + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/intruderrev.ufo b/textfiles.com/ufo/intruderrev.ufo new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ead70d07 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/intruderrev.ufo @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +TITLE: INTRUDERS +AUTHOR: Budd Hopkins +PUBLISHED BY: Random House +AT: New York, 1987 +PAGES: 223, 8 photo (Hardback Edition)VIEWPOINT: Fortean===================================================== + +It's late in the evening when a sudden and bizarre compulsion comes over +you to get some junk food at the local fast service establishment.

Only recently made aware of the experiences through the aid +of hypnotic regression, Kathy's story is perhaps one of the best documented +case events of this type. These happenings were first seriously reported +in the mid/late sixties by John G. Fuller in "The Interrupted Journey" and +most recently by Whitley Strieber in "Communion."

Few of us have much formal education in psychology, and even + that type of training might be insufficient in certain cases. + + Much has been said and written about hoaxed claims, which nearly always + entail a dramatic close encounter story wherein the teller was the + intended subject of the intruder. Other indicators to look for + include: + + (a) precise details expressed with confidence regarding measurements, + vehicle design and so forth, + + (b) if multiple witnesses, total agreement on all aspects of the + original account, + + (c) instant answers to questions posed, + + (d) the conveyance of a message or indication of purpose by the alien + intelligence, and + + (e) a desire for publicity by the reporting person. Some accounts are + genuine despite these appearances, but they do serve as caution + lights. + + Exaggeration and embellishment are not the same and both must be + considered. The former overstates a descriptive element - proximity, + size, brightness, velocity and the like - that would normally be + perceived in an event of that type. If an object seen at dusk in a + populated area is estimated to have been thousands of feet in the air + yet a foot in diameter at arm's length, one would suspect an + exaggerated apparent size. [Otherwise, police phone lines would have + been jammed followed by headlines in the morning news.] + + Embellishment, by contrast, adds elements or details thereof that were + not part of the actual observation. This might become evident when + comparing original statements made immediately after the incident (to + police, the investigator or someone else) with a later re-telling. + For example, the object was lost from view below the tree-line and (the + witness later deduces) landed. Perhaps a faint glow within the woods + is added in the re-telling as well. + + Taking leave of the facts in either of these fashions might be quite + unintentional on the part of a person who both wants to impress you, + "the expert", in such matters. Thus, when questioned (s)he tends to + fill in any gaps in what was truly heard and seen. Still, if repeated + at various points of the account, the entire event may be called into + question. + + 2 + A "true believer" is readily identifiable by a large crystal adorning + his/her necklace, the flying saucer belt buckle, and the autographed + copy of Shirley MacLaine over the mantle. Seriously, this type of + individual tends to have just enough knowledge of the UFO subject to be + half convincing on the surface. Certainly, randomness being a factor + in the sighting annals, one of these "Children of the New Age" or just + plain UFOnut may have had a real experience. However, as the sign + reads on those windy mountain passes, proceed with extreme caution. + + If a bookcase is in view, a quick scan of its contents is always in + order and may be very illuminating. In the recounting, these persons + often tend to digress into a series of previous nocturnal light + sightings (which sound suspiciously similar to airplanes, satellites + and planets) and to offer firm opinions on the origins, purposes and/or + lessons of alien visitation. For, at the heart of the true-believer + mentality is a fervent desire to be in contact with mysterious forces - + of the UFO variety or otherwise. By itself, this is harmless. But, + being a prisoner of one's passions, IFOs are easily transformed into + UFOs, and a genuine observation can trigger a delusion of meaningful + communication.

They then noticed bright aerial lights approaching and observed + a large anomalous vehicle. + + On a windy night in March 1980, two women and their eight children + watched as a 12 - 15 - foot object of undefined shape within a glowing + aura approached and remained some 50 feet from their door, performing + feats and color changes over a 2-hour period. At various points, each + of three dogs was let outside, yet none appeared to notice the + intruder. + + As noted by Allan Hendry "The UFO Handbook" (Doubleday, 1979), animals + do not share the technological fantasies and anticipations of humans. + Pets such as dogs and cats, moreover, possess more acute senses, most + notably hearing, and can detect emanations which we cannot. [Whether + an animal can detect microwaves, low-strength magnetic fields or minute + static charges is not known.] Consequently, if an animal reacts during + the reported observation, it is inferred that *something* was there to + be sensed. + + The expectation that animal reactions are linked closely with UFOs is a + preconception in the consciousness of the American public. To state + the obvious, animals can't speak for themselves, so the interpretation + of their actions is left to the human witness. Cats have been reported + to arch their back, hair standing on end, at the sight of a strange + airborne vehicle. Of course, the sight of a strange cat would have + caused the same result. UFOs have long been linked to dogs howling, + barking, or cowering. Dogs likewise howl at the moon and bark at just + about anything, including the barking of other dogs. Some dogs cower + whenever an adult looks at them. + + You should also keep in mind that pets are often closely attuned to - + and influenced by - the moods of their masters. Thus, if a person is + acting excitedly or fearfully at the perception of a UFO, the animals + in his/her presence may well exhibit a strong response also. + + Hendry concludes this chapter of his excellent book with an + observation: "Clearly, while animals have different motives for + response to UFO and IFO stimuli than humans, the range is just as + complex and baffling to sort out." + + We do seek to compile all the evidence available on animal reactions to + genuine UFOs. When milk or egg production drops afterward, when an + animal is injured or when its behavior is described as totally out of + character, something physical seemingly caused it. Animal reactions + will be included in our computerized records, sorting both by species + and type of reaction. + + In Chapter VIII of the MUFON "Field Investigator's Manual", Ray Fowler + reminds us that a Form 4 should be completed (and mention of the + reaction included in the "Personal Account" section of the Form 1) for + all anecdotal evidence. If the animal displays symptoms of residual + radiation, a Form 10 should be completed and a radiological examination + conducted as part of the treatment administered. Where physical + evidence is apparent (e.g. an injury or significant loss of fur or + feathers, the animal should be photographed and a Form 6 filled out.) + + A final point: The investigator should never ask a witness whether + animals were present. This is a leading question and only encourages + 6 + the witness to speculate on behavior that may not have been otherwise + regarded as extraordinary. Reactions (or a lack of reaction) regarded + as unusual at the time will in all likelihood be volunteered by the + witness. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part III + + The witness has just concluded his account of a dramatic, prolonged + close encounter with an object of unusual shape, including exterior + trappings. You ask that he spend a few minutes in sketching the + vehicle's design. After a bit, he produces a two-dimensional, + asymmetrical scrawl and says sheepishly, "Never could draw." + + The woman has described two identical entities in her bedroom that she + was permitted to inspect in a conscious awareness for long minutes. + Asked to reduce to paper what they looked like, she prepares with some + care a drawing that is nevertheless remindful of a 4-year-old's + rendering of Daddy. + + Sound familiar? Conquering such a problem is really not at all + mysterious, as every major police department long ago discovered: An + artist is brought in to work with the witness to reconstruct the + villain's appearance. + + For the limited purpose of devising an accurate rendering of a craft or + entity, the facilitator need not be either a professional artist nor + have formal MUFON membership (though the latter is certainly + preferred). At least some several million people have a marked ability + in this area and have taken some classes. Frankly, given the horrible + drawings that so typically accompany case reports, anyone with an + acumen for drawing would be appreciated and should be utilized. + + The reality in our business - and in the art world generally - is that + vehicles and portraits involve fundamentally different skills. So, + consider the idea of having two persons available to press into duty. + In that CE-1s are far more commonly reported than CE-3s or CE-4s, a + person with *mechanical drawing* skill will likely be valuable more + often. For the occasional entity case, someone who has had an art + class in human anatomy would be the wiser selection. Certainly, + someone who has both types of abilities is ideal. + + A few considerations in utilizing an artist: First, of course, the + person must realize that, in agreeing to offer this assistance, (s)he + may be called upon with no forewarning - even raised from his/her bed + on occasion. Second, the drawing is to be a faithful rendering of what + the witness describes, i.e. without artistic license. [Certainly, + questions of the witness along the way are both appropriate and + necessary.] And third, when the drawing is completed to the client's + satisfaction, it should be *signed and dated* by both the client and + artist. Naturally, the investigator must clarify in the case report + that the drawing was made with the assistance of the person named. For + the sake of objectivity, the witness should be asked to attempt a + drawing without assistance before the expert is brought to bear, and + that drawing, no matter how crude, should accompany the report. + + It cannot be overemphasized that we as an organization fail to make + critical ties among UFO events occurring at different times and + locations because of a lack of adequate drawing skills at the ready. + Every college and most high schools in America have at least one + 7 + instructor and several students able to fill this critical need. + Please make a concerted effort to find one or more to assist yourself - + and encourage your members to locate additional volunteer artists in + their own locales. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part IV + + Following a prolonged encounter with a glowing bell-shaped object on + her property, a woman rather suddenly began having precognitive + thoughts and dreams. Unfamiliar names popped into her mind, only to be + used later in the day by family members. She proceeded to the phone + seconds before it began ringing, knowing who was calling. In a vivid + dream, someone she knew was dying in a house fire, a fact borne out by + the next day's newspaper. + + Soon after a lengthy encounter on their farm with small triangular- + based vehicles, a couple and their best friend (who also witnessed the + event) gathered one evening and shared a sense of dread that, for + whatever reason, they would not be getting together again. The next + evening, the husband was killed in an auto accident. + + These two incidents are not taken from the Time-Life book series we've + all seen advertised on TV, but rather are from my personal case files. + Though we cannot begin to adequately explain such occurrences, in some + extended close-encounters situations, one or more of the witnesses are + left with some form of ESP. This aspect of UFO experiences has, + unfortunately, been rather neglected by the investigative community and + probably underreported. + + In that a long, involved UFO encounter is likely to take multiple + interviews and weeks or months to sort out, an ESP/psychic awareness + may manifest itself if the investigator has the foresight to look for + evidence of same. After the basic facts of the aerial event have been + gathered and one is satisfied that the claim is genuine, it is proper + to ask (without mentioning anything specific) that the witness record + any feelings or unusual experiences considered out of place. If + something does present itself in the encounter's aftermath, the witness + is likely to ask those questions so common to CE episodes generally: + "Why me?" and "What does it mean?" If there is no indication that the + paranormal recountings are delusive, the investigator must: + + (1) be honest in explaining our fundamental ignorance of the basis for + these effects, + + (2) refrain from speculating on what might happen as a result, + + (3) assure the person that, it most recorded cases, any paranormal + effects dissipate over time, and + + (4) for lack of precise knowledge as to why, try to counsel the person + to accept it as an inadvertent gift left behind. + + Perhaps most importantly, ensure an open line of communication after + the investigation is finished. Without any data to support the + contention, witnesses with this sort of potential would appear ideally + suited for repeat encounters at some future date. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part V + + 8 + Anyone who has hung around the subject for awhile is bound to hear + those familiar words and phrases which ought to raise an eyebrow of + doubt: "silent", "in an instant", "paralyzed", "glowing", "blinding" + and (my personal favorite) "disappeared". Let's examine these usages + that are indicative of how excited witnesses tell their stories on + first recounting. + + - "Silent". Was the object in question genuinely without any sound? If + the witness had been a few feet directly underneath it on a still + night in the hinterland, would not even a decibel of sound have + noted? + + In writing up the investigative summary, one must be very careful to + distinguish between (what are probably rare) incidents wherein, + considering all the physical factors, the vehicle was genuinely + silent in terms of human audio perception, as compared to cases in + which the witness, for whatever reason, was unable to detect the + actual sound generated by metallic parts. Most often, sheer distance + was the culprit. Elements in the environment -especially wind, both + as it rustles vegetation and crosses the percipient's ears - can + easily wipe out a low sound. Therefore, unless the circumstances + make it obvious that an anomalous object was really silent, the + correct assumption is that "the witness(es) did not perceive any + sound in connection with the object." + + - "In an instant". How long is an instant, anyway? Presumably, it + splits a second, but how far? A common meteor may be said to have + passed beyond the witness' view in an instant, yet we can roughly + gauge its actual speed. "In no time," the vehicle was out of sight - + which might be said of an F-16 on a fly-over low to the ground. + Obviously, though, some time was involved, and a measurement using a + stopwatch can be taken. If the moment in question cannot be so + depicted, it may be fairer to convey in the write-up that the object + departed at a speed apparently beyond conventional abilities and/or + with no sense of acceleration. + + - "Paralyzed (with fear)". Was the witness genuinely immobilized from + an external force? Alternately, was (s)he *psychologically* + "captivated", "mesmerized", or "transfixed" due to the unexpected + nature of the event? This area of close-encounter research still + evokes debate, largely because of imprecise questioning by the + investigator of the witness' actual state of mind during the event. + + - "Glowing". As with Rudolph's nose, when we read this term we assume + a light source that is internal to the object in question. If the + twilight sun was reflecting off the object, the proper word is + "glinting". If the term "glowing" is used, it forces the physicist + and engineer to consider specific possibilities. Be careful with + this one. + + - + "Blinding". Gosh, was the witness unable to perceive his/her + surroundings after the incident? As an example, humans cannot look at + the midday sun for more than a second or so without spots before our + eyes and tears forming. Furthermore, substantial physiological damage + would be done to the cornea in a matter of several seconds. Thus, + that serves as a benchmark. Precisely how long was the witness able + to look directly at the source, and what were the aftereffects. Most + often, "blinding" can be downgraded to "brilliant" or just "bright". + + 9 + - "Disappeared". Commonly coined, it is remarked, "Then, all of a + sudden it just 'disappeared' (from view)". So, what precisely + happened? Did the object molecularly dematerialize? Well, okay, we + have plenty of cases through the years that suggest this - although + one might argue a progression into the ultra-violet or infra-red + spectrum of electromagnetism. More likely in a given instance, + however, the witness intended simply to say that the object simply + moved beyond the horizon or otherwise out of view. + + Proper investigating being a learned ability, with lots of pained + discoveries along the way, it is understandable that these kinds of + superlatives have gone unchallenged in previous cases. If we are to + make sense of our data, though, extreme care must be taken before + underscoring the witness statement on those tentative points. That's a + major reason why detailed questioning must follow the initial witness + account. And the investigator's summary must address these factors, + clarifying the intended meaning with sober rationale. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part VI + + On a balmy, starlit night in 1986, two men were engaged in fishing and + conversation in the midst of a northern Michigan lake. Suddenly, one + called the other's attention to a brilliant light approaching from the + north. For nearly two minutes, they were captivated by the source + passing high overhead on a straight-line course. Appearing basically + white at first, the "sparkling" object took on an amber tone before it + passed from view on the southern horizon. + + Moments later and a hundred miles to the south, several adults and + teens witnessed the anomaly while lazing outside their cottage. They + observed orange-ish tones and noticed two or three smaller lights + "eject" from the main body, thereafter travelling in tight formation + with the sparkling "mothership". + + As the objects passed to the west of Detroit and into Ohio, still + heading south, radio and TV stations were besieged with calls. Some + described the objects as no more than a thousand feet overhead. Those + in more remote, quiet locales attached a slight hissing sound to what + were now six or more small glowing objects in irregular formation. On + and on went the intruders, observed by thousands over Kentucky and + Tennessee. + + Less than an hour after the initial sighting, a call was placed to + NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), located on Peterson + Air Force Base, Colorado. Without hesitation, the officer related the + details of a Soviet Soyuz rocket booster reentering the atmosphere over + American airspace. + + Several points bear mention concerning reentries. + + First, at any given ime, NORAD's height-finder radar is tracking + several _thousand_ objects that are in static or slowly decaying orbits + around the earth. These range from intact satellites to pieces of + debris as small as a softball. Excepting those retrieved via space + shuttle, with increasing frequency each will fall through the + atmosphere. + + Second, our planet collides with common meteors by the ton on a daily + basis as well as in the form of annual meteor showers. [The latter are + 10 + ice trails of ancient comets and range in size from a grain of sand to + small stone.] Comparatively, then, even a softball-sized hunk of metal + from an earlier exploded launch vehicle can create quite a stir as it + slowly disintegrates through the atmosphere. + + Third, its burn is far longer than a typical shooting star also because + the angle of descent is not steep. On a clear night the sighting + duration is commonly about two minutes from horizon to horizon + (_usually_ east-to-west, though S-N and N-S also occur). + + Fourth, this display evokes a variety of colors, depending on the + composition of the metal and especially the altitude (thus internal + heat generated) at the point it is observed. Initially, observers + generally see a whit light, followed by amber/orange, and possibly + other hues. + + Fifth, very typically in a reentry, witnesses describe a holiday + "sparkler" (actually disintegration) effect, changing coloration (due + to the slowing speed and increasing atmospheric density) and, quite + often, a fragmenting of the main body (thus reports of a "mothership" + ejecting smaller "crafts"). + + Sixth, reentries are nearly always seen over wide expanses, often + encompassing a few or several states. + + Seventh, the witnesses tend to grossly underestimate the object's + altitude (total disintegration usually occurs above 15,000 feet) and + overestimate its actual size. + + Eighth, the anomaly is (logically) always said to be traveling in a + straight and horizontal path overhead. Even when fragments are + observed splitting from the main body, they continue along the same + course (i.e. without an abrupt directional change). + + Whenever these characteristics are present, it is proper (and usually + worthwhile) to contact Peterson AFB, asking for the public affairs + office. That person will contact the NORAD facility. + + Being a bureaucrat myself and so suspicious about government agencies, + I present the inquiry simply: "We had an event this evening in (named + state(s)). Did NORAD record a reentry?" That is, the time, + directional course and duration should not be offered; let them do the + corroborating. If in reality the nocturnal light was a reentry, you + will probably be given much detail (the particular space launch and + date, moment the debris first entered the atmosphere, duration of the + burn, and area where it was presumed to flame out). + + There are two types of events for which you will _not_ likely receive a + helpful reply. One would entail secret military testing in space (e.g. + SDI target practice). The other would be a genuine UFO event. Either + claimed ignorance or a "can neither confirm nor deny" response is + likely in those situations. Since it could be either, however, + reticence to answer your questions does not necessarily imply an + anomaly. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part VII + + There are an estimated 100 million cameras of all types in the hands of + the American public. And so there is a grain of validity to the charge + 11 + by UFO skeptics that, if our claims are valid, then more clear photos + ought to surface. + + Countering this claim to some extent is the fact that most people own a + fixed-focus camera, don't know much at all about photography and, if + the camera is handy at the crucial moment, usually have slow (100 or + 200 ISO) film inserted for daylight shots. + + Further, the great majority of camera owners don't realize that even + the best flash attachment is useful only up to about 40 feet. No + doubt, photography professionals smile on New year's night when tens of + thousands of flashes are seen in the stands during half-time of the + Orange Bowl football game. Another "flash" of ignorance occurred on a + summer night in 1989 in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Two young women followed + a disc-shaped object near the Pensacola Bay. When it suddenly darted + in front of their car, the rider grabbed her camera and snapped a + picture - with the flash on. What they received back from the + processor was a massive white reflection on the film from the flash + bouncing off the inside of the windshield. + + Occasionally, as in the situation of repeated events in the same + locale, you or the witness may have a camera at the ready. In that + instance, keep the following in mind: + + 1. If at all possible, employ a 35 mm camera, as the images on film are + likely to be sharper and the background in better perspective. + Inexpensive "instamatic" cameras tend to condense the actual + distances of structures and terrain in the view-finder. Unless the + person is quite adept with the instrument, it is best to leave it on + the all-automatic setting, allowing the camera to determine distance + and focus. + + 2. Presuming dark or nearly dark conditions, use film with a high ISO + (formerly ASA) rating - at least 400. Film with an ISO of 1000 or + 1600 is exclusively for low light. + + 3. With high-ISO film, the camera is more sensitive to motion, most + importantly from the photographers own hands. One way to eliminate + that inadvertent motion is to use a tripod. However, as we all know + too well, genuinely anomalous objects tend to remain in one location + only momentarily. So, setting up a tripod is usually impractical. + In it's absence, one can minimize the motion by bracing the camera + against something handy - a car roof, fence post, even the shoulder + of a fellow witness. + + 4. Before the expected event, take a few shots of the area as a + control. These can assist in the later analysis as well as argue + against any claim that the anomalous image in question was hoaxed. + + 5. Take more than one photograph. If the light/object is moving, shoot + at least once with the camera motionless, then also while panning + the object (moving the camera to keep the image in the view-finder). + + 6. If at all possible, capture some fixed structure (e.g. part of a + building, a utility pole or tree limb) in the foreground. This + greatly assists the analytical effort. If the background consists + only of sky, it is virtually impossible to determine the objects + size and distance from the photographic image. + + 7. Afterward, locate the precise spot where the photographer stood. + 12 + Then, carefully measure the distance from that spot to the point(s) + of the fixed structure(s) shown in each frame. + + 8. With the witness' assistance, complete a MUFON form 8, "Photographic + Cases". The camera model, it's inherent capacities and that of any + accessories, as well as the type of film is critical to document for + meaningful analysis. + + 9. + If the photo/videotape was shot at night, take daylight photos of + the same scene while standing at the original spot of the witness. + + 10. Obtain the print(s) and especially the negative(s) from the witness, + ensuring that all originals will be returned unharmed. + + 11. Forward the original photo materials along with the Form 8 and your + case report to International case director Walt Andrus. He will + forward the film/tape to Dr. Bruce Maccabee or another party + appropriate. Copies of all should be sent here for preliminary + evaluation. + + By the way, keep a camera loaded at all times. You never know... + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part VIII + + + [Note: This edition of the "Investigator's Edge" is from the January, + 1991 issue of "GEORGIA SKYWATCH", published by GEORGIA-MUFON.] + + + GENERAL + --------- + + Things to keep in mind while doing investigations + --------------------------------------------------- + + AIRCRAFT: Have a minimum of three non-flashing running lights; one on + each wing tip and one at the rear. Right wing running light is green, + left wing running light is red, and the rear running light is white. + [Note: many aircraft also have two strobe lights, one mounted on top + and on mounted below the fuselage.] There must not be more than one + green running light. Blue is not used as a running light. Helicopters + have the same general running light configuration as light planes. + + ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE: Can cause an object (that is near the horizon) + to look distorted and magnified. + + AUTOKINETIC MOTION: Eye movement can cause the witness to think a + stationary light or object is moving when in fact it is not. Lining + the target up with two other stationary reference points can help to + determine whether in fact the object is moving. When a witness says + the light was moving in jerky motions--side to side and up and down-- + suspect the witness is looking at a star. + + BALL LIGHTENING: Appears hazy or solid, spherical, oval or rod shape. + Colors range from red-white with orange being the most common. It can + hover, go less than 5 mph or up to 60 mph. It emits a hissing sound + and when it explodes an odor of sulfa or ozone is present. It can + appear after lightening strikes the ground or in midair. Ball + 13 + lightening almost always appears during a thunderstorm. + + DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES: UFO investigators are looking very hard for + consistent groups of facts, while UFO witnesses are looking for support + and counseling. These are two very different objectives and can be the + source of conflict between the witness and the investigator. The wise + investigator will keep this in mind when dealing with witnesses. + + DISTANCE: Most witnesses underestimate the actual distance from the + observation point to the object. + + ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: Electromagnetic interference that can + cause an automobile's engine to stall and can interrupt the operation + of other electrical devices has sometimes been linked to UFO sighting + reports. Such occurances are not limited to gasoline engines. Diesel + engines such as found in trucks, boats, trains, and bulldozers have + also been affected. Similar reports on airplane engines and radar + equipment have also been reported. + + INVESTIGATOR'S DUTY TO THE WITNESS: The UFO investigator must + subordinate his or her need to collect UFO information to the needs and + interests of the witness. The health and well-being of the witness + must ALWAYS come before the collection of UFO evidence and proof. + + INTERPRETATION OF WITNESS TESTIMONY: The interpretation of both free + and regressed witness narratives is BEST acomplished by behavioral + psychologists and other professionals skilled in the process. + + FEELINGS REPORTED BY WITNESSES: Feelings reported by witnesses + include: + + (A) Being watched + (B) Looking me over + (C) Feeling of being observed + (D) Feeling of fear + (E) Feeling of anger + (F) It was a beautiful experience + (G) Felt happy when it happened + (H) Felt object responded to witness + (I) Felt the object was trying to communicate with witness + + PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The number of witness reports which suggest + aliens are interested in observing or manipulating the witness's sexual + organs and/or otherwise conducting gynecological examinations of the + witness appears to be far less than would be euggested by popular + reports. More often, witnesses report examination of their heads. + + HIGH STRANGENESS: When a large number of witness narratives are + examined, it quickly becomes obvious that the witness experience is + very complicated and full of unknowns. The vast majority of witness + accounts describe perceptions and experiences far stranger than any + reported by mainstream abduction researchers. Do not rule out what a + witness tells you because it has a high strangeness level. Because we + do not know what is true, we must not edit testimony or it becomes + absolutely worthless. When reporting witness testimony, do not try to + make it seem credible and believable. Rather, expose it as it really + is. Unless we do this we have no chance at all of getting at the + truth. + + HYPNOSIS: Information from a regressed subject is sometimes used in the + 14 + context of other evidence, but it is not itself evidence. Because + regressed testimony of UFO witnesses cannot currently by confirmed by + hard facts, there remains enormous difficulty with trying to use + hypnotized testimony as evidence of real events, even when that + testimony agrees in particulars among a group of unconnected witnesses. + The primary value of hypnosis is as a counseling device. It is + recommended that nobody except a professionally trained hypnotist - + preferably one with the credentials of a health professional - + hypnotize any UFO witness for any reason, and then only for therapeutic + purposes. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The Investigator's Edge Part IX + + WHAT'S MY TRAFFIC? + + By Ken Spencer + January 27, 1991 + + Civilian aircraft are directed and guided through the skies over the + United States from take-off to landing by way of an extremely + sophisticated air traffic control system. Much of this system is + supported with a network of air traffic control facilities under the + auspices of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Here in + Colorado, an airliner departing from Denver can expect to be in + communications with several facilities during the course of its flight. + These air traffic control facilities perform several functions, not the + least of which is to assist the pilot in maintaining a safe clearance + between other aircraft. The job for both the air traffic controller + and the pilot is usually made easier and safer when radar is available. + Radar, however, is not a full proof system and by no stretch of the + imagination guarantees a pilot or a controller that a vehicle, known or + unknown can be identified. + + In order to acquire a better understanding of just what I mean, let's + take a brief minute to educate ourselves about radar. Radar, an acronym + from a term originating during World War II, is short for radio + detection and ranging. It's an electronic system by which radio waves + are bounced off of an object in order to determine its existence and to + locate its position in relation to other objects. The radio waves that + are transmitted by a radar antenna, when bounced off of an object such + as an aircraft are returned to the antenna and through electronic + technology "painted" on a cathode ray tube. Unfortunately, target + detection is often hampered by "clutter" which is picked up on the + radar screen. This "clutter" can be raindrops generated by a + thunderstorm, back-scatter from the ground, or even flocks of birds. + In order for an air traffic controller to perform his job and detect + aircraft more effectively, radar engineers have designed a means by + which the "clutter" can be suppressed. Suppressing this "clutter" + unfortunately also affects the ability of a controller to see targets + on the radar screen. Further advancements in radar technology as well + as a necessity to provide more positive identification of aircraft has + required that the air traffic system be modified. This modification + has meant that aircraft flying in most types of controlled airspace are + required by the FAA to have a device which transmits an assigned + identification code and altitude information. This device is called a + transponder. + + If you paid a visit to the Denver Center, which is located in Longmont, + Colorado, you would have a first hand opportunity to experience how + 15 + traffic is identified and controlled within the more than 200,000 + square mile area under the facility's jurisdiction. An aircraft + departing the Denver Stapleton airport would enter the airspace + controlled by Denver Center shortly after take-off. Through electronic + technology, the aircraft is painted as a target on a cathode ray tube + used by the controller. From each symbol he is able to determine the + aircraft identification (United 200, Delta 100 etc.), the altitude of + the aircraft, and a multitude of other data to assist him with his job. + If you were to listen in on his or her conversation, you might hear the + pilot's transmission: "Denver Center this is American 3375 at flight + level three seven zero (37,000 feet), I have high speed traffic at my 3 + o'clock position (to the right of the aircraft) approximately 5 miles, + at my altitude, WHAT'S MY TRAFFIC ? " The controller would peer at the + scope, notice the American Airlines MD-80 symbol, but see nothing + resembling a blip or target anywhere near the aircraft. His response + would be: "American 3375, I have no traffic at your 3 o'clock position + ". The response from the pilot might be: "Denver Center my traffic is + now at my 9 o'clock position, appears to be a black, odd shaped object + without any discernible markings moving at a high rate of speed. " The + controller might say: " American 3375, I have no traffic at your + 9'o'clock position ". + + With the seemingly endless amount of information available to the air + traffic controller, you would think that a situation like this might + not be possible. However, this occurs more often than one might think. + The target viewed on the CRT at Denver Center is computerized video + data and not raw radar. The information is gathered from several radar + antennas scattered throughout the state of Colorado and fed into a + central computer. It is then displayed as a target symbol on the CRT. + If an unidentified aircraft, such as one without a transponder, or one + using stealth technology wanders into controlled airspace, a controller + may not pick the aircraft up on his scope. There are several reports + where aircraft have penetrated controlled airspace without notifying + the controlling agency. Aircraft of unknown origin, believe it or not, + moving at high rates of speed, maneuvering in a manner not readily + associated with anything known to man have been seen by pilots without + the benefit of radar identification. In fact, Denver Center recently + (December 29, 1990) contacted Colorado MUFON regarding a similar + incident reported by a pilot in the airspace above Colorado. + + We all share the same interest and continue to search for a solution to + the UFO enigma. In this instance, we were contacted by a government + agency. However, for every incident where government support is freely + provided, there are many situations where it is not. This is generally + the result of preserving confidentiality, or as a controller recently + indicated to me, not being free to release information because of + government policy. Never the less, field investigators must pursue + every reasonable avenue to gather and document whatever he or she + learned for inclusion in the case report and, for the record. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Note - This article is a slightly expanded and modified version of an + article appearing in the "Colorado MUFON News" , November/December 1990 + issue. Also appearing in the same issue is a summary of the incident + which is referred to in this article regarding a daytime sighting made + by an airline pilot over southern Colorado. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part X + + 16 + AIRCRAFT LIGHTS: An Explanation + By Ken Spencer, March 2, 1991 + + Aircraft lights come in different sizes, shapes, and are used for + several different purposes. When first developed, aircraft lights + were designed to fulfill the same purpose as lights originally + installed on boats or ships. A sailor observing a ship moving on the + open waters at night found it difficult to determine its direction of + travel or its position relative to his own. In the interest of safety, + lights were located on the port side (left), starboard side (right), + and one at the stern (aft) end of the ship. The colors of the lights + were red, green and white respectively. That way an individual + observing the ship from a distance would be able to easily determine + how the ship was positioned relative to the individual and also + determine its direction of travel. The Federal Aviation Administration + (FAA) require that aircraft have position or navigational lights + configured in the same manner. As the pilot faces forward in the + cockpit, he would find a green light on his right wing tip, a red light + on his left wing tip and a white light on the tail. These position + lights are required to be on for all operations, ground and flight, + between the hours of official sunset and sunrise. + + Aside from the position or navigational lights, a variety of other + lights are found on aircraft which may be of interest to those of us + involved in the field of U.F.O. Investigations. Let's take a minute + to look at some of these lights, their location on an aircraft and the + situations under which they might be used. We need to bear in mind, as + we examine these lighting systems, that aircraft vary in size and type + of operation. We will therefore restrict our examination to the more + common lighting systems associated with conventional aircraft. + + ANTICOLLISION LIGHTS + + Anticollision lights are used primarily to assist in assuring that an + aircraft is readily seen while on the ground or in flight. These + lights are generally mounted in the wing tips not far from the position + lights. With most airline operated aircraft these lights are white and + are generally of the strobe variety. Another type of anticollision + light is red, (strobe, flashing, oscillating or rotating beacon type) + and is located on top and/or underneath the fuselage (main body + structure) of the aircraft. These lights are generally on for all + operations, ground and flight, day and night, below 18,000 feet. At + night these lights are kept on regardless of altitude. + + LANDING LIGHTS + + The aircraft landing lights are used for both illumination of the + landing/take-off area as well as for collision avoidance in flight. + Landing lights, depending on the size and type of aircraft, can be + mounted in a number of locations. They can be located in the left and + right leading edge of the wings, on the nose gear strut, or in some + cases are extended below the wings. In the case of most airline + operations these lights are generally on from the time a takeoff + clearance is issued until the aircraft reaches 18,000 feet or from + 18,000 feet until the aircraft clears the runway after landing. + + RUNWAY TURNOFF LIGHTS + + Runway turnoff lights, sometimes referred to as taxi lights, visually + assist the pilot at night when maneuvering between the terminal and the + 17 + runway. These lights are either mounted on the leading edge of the + wings, on the nose gear strut or some location which will provide + sufficient illumination in front of the aircraft. These lights are + rarely operated while the aircraft is in flight unless they are an + integral part of the landing light system or unless the pilot deems it + necessary for safety reasons (i.e. additional collision avoidance). + + WING LIGHTS + + In order to assist the pilot in viewing a section of the wing or engine + nacelles (engine enclosures), lights are flush mounted in the fuselage + and pointed outward in the appropriate direction. These lights would + be operated by the pilot when he wishes to inspect the wing section or + engine in the event of an abnormal situation such as icing or + structural damage. + + LOGO LIGHTS + + Marketing people are always looking for creative ways to advertise or + promote a product. With the airline industry, one such creative genius + led to the use of logo lights on aircraft. These lights are usually + mounted in the horizontal stabilizer (horizontal part of the tail) + pointing in the direction of the vertical stabilizer (vertical part of + the tail). Besides illuminating the logo on the tail of the aircraft, + the pilot uses the logo lights for an additional means of collision + avoidance. Most of the airlines require that the logo lights, if + installed and operational, be turned on continuously between sunset and + sunrise. + + UTILITY LIGHTS + + A number of other exterior lights may be installed on an aircraft such + as cargo door lights and emergency evacuation lights. The cargo door + lights illuminate the area around the cargo compartment and are + generally used to assist cargo/ramp agents in loading cargo into the + aircraft. The normal procedure is to extinguish these lights once the + cargo operation has been completed. Another set of lights, sometimes + called evacuation lights, are used to assist passengers during an + emergency evacuation from the aircraft. These are usually flush mounted + into the fuselage of the aircraft adjacent to a passenger door or + emergency exit. These lights are used to illuminate the evacuation + area and are generally set to automatically energize in the event of an + emergency. + + As I indicated early on in this article, most of the light + configurations described here are applicable to conventional aircraft. + These lighting systems may vary slightly depending on the type of + aircraft, the manufacturer, and the kind of operating environment. If, + as an investigator, a witness observes a lighting system typical to + what was presented here, there is always the possibility that the + object may be an aircraft. On the other hand, we need to document, in + sufficient detail, the observation regardless of whether it coincides + with an aircraft lighting system or not, for the record. + + [*Note: Ken is a contributing writer for the Colorado MUFON Newsletter, + MUFON Member and employed by a major airline at Denver International + Airport.] + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The Investigator's Edge Part XI + + 18 + TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY + ---------------------- + By Robert J. Durrant + + [Note: Mr. Durrant is a member and contributing writer for the New + Jersey MUFON Chapter, and current State Section Director for Mercer + County.] + + Epilepsy...a chronic nervous disease, characterized by fits, occurring + at intervals and attended by convulsive motions of the muscles and loss + of consciousness. So says the dictionary, and the man-on-the-street + would agree. + + The sort of epilepsy described above results from irregular electrical + functioning in those parts of the brain that control many of the + muscles. As the ability to monitor the brain's electrical activity + developed, it became obvious that other parts of the brain are + similarly prone to the haphazard currents that produce the physical, + convulsive type of epilepsy. Of particular interest to this discussion + is epilepsy of the temporal lobes of the brain. These areas control + what is often called the "higher functions" of the brain/mind. That + is, "..accessing declarative memory, the conscious or active recall of + not only what was learned but when and where it was acquired, and with + attributing personal meaning or significance to the constant stream of + sensory input." + + What happens when this portion of the brain suffers an epileptic event? + The subject does not thrash about---the temporal lobe doesn't have any + connection with the muscles. Instead, he tends to have experiences + that could be called mystical or paranormal, a sense of a very special + purpose in life, or he imbues unusual events with great and unrealistic + meaning. These are not just vague and generalized feelings. Often they + are extremely intense and at times are described as "more real than + real." + + In some cases this form of epilepsy is so vivid and frequent that a + formal psychiatric and neurological diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy + is possible. But the usual case seems to present only occasional + events. As with any medical condition, the person afflicted is not + likely to seek help unless the condition is painful or debilitating. A + positive diagnosis is possible, but a negative diagnosis is speculative + at best. In other words, it is not within the state of the art of + today's medical technology to say definitely that nay given patient + does not have temporal lobe epilepsy. + + Whitley Strieber, author of Communion, Transformation, and Majestic, + underwent two series of tests for temporal lobe epilepsy. Both were + negative. Per the remarks above, and by his own admission, that still + leaves open the option that he does suffer from the condition. But it + would indicate that the condition occurs only sporadically, if at all. + It is certainly to Strieber's credit that he went to such lengths to + preclude a psychiatric foundation for his abduction experiences. In + addition to the general symptoms listed above, there exists a set of + quite intriguing specific symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy. They are + as follows: + + 1. Paranormal/mystical experiences + 2. Enhanced imaginings (especially from childhood) + 3. Widening affect + 4. Vestibular (floating, low frequency vibration) sensations + 19 + 5. Anomalous smells + 6. Intense episodes of personal meaning + + With this set of symptoms in mind, I reviewed the three Strieber books + related to UFO's and abductions. My goal was to determine if there + exists in that body of writing a clearly repeated emphasis on these + topics. Communion and it's sequel Transformation can fairly be said to + be continuous reiterations of symptoms 1,2,3,4 (floating) and 6. + Majestic is a fictionalized rendering of the Roswell crash and it's + aftermath. It should be distinguished from the previous two books, + which are veridical and autobiographical. One would expect to find + that Majestic presents few, if any, of the temporal lobe symptoms. + This on the theory that the autobiographical abduction accounts were + produced subsequent to epileptic events, but that the deliberate + fiction writing would be free of the symptomology. + + My analysis shows that most of the symptoms are present in greatly + reduced intensity in Majestic compared with the previous books. But + oddly, symptom 4 is there in complete form, with both floating as well + as low frequency vibrations, and so is symptom 5, which is nearly + absent in the earlier works, but here erupts repeatedly, indeed, so + common are references to these two symptoms in Majestic that I have + systematically culled them out of the text and listed them serially + below. Perhaps their concatenated, seemingly obsessive use is merely a + literary device. certainly Strieber is a master of the thriller, and I + will defer to him on this point, but it does seem strained and + unnatural to my eye. The simple interpretation of this analysis is + that Strieber is clearly suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy. As + with everything else in UFOlogy, and particularly the abduction + phenomenon, quick judgments are dangerous. + + Several other optional interpretations are possible, and I will + summarize them here with the understanding that in future articles they + will be expanded. First, that most if not all persons who have close + encounters with UFO's suffer, among a variety of other physiological + effects, disruption of the electrical functions of the brain, including + the temporal lobe area. because of the peculiarities of the temporal + lobe, "flashbacks" can occur throughout life after the initial + triggering event. It is unlikely that monitoring of the electrical + pulses of the brain would reveal the irregularities associated with + clinical diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy. Second, it may be that + external means of controlling or communicating with the temporal lobe + regions is the means by which the aliens deal with abductees. In + addition to the positive communications or signals, the process may + well include generation of "noise" both during the communication and, + per the remarks above, long after the communications. + + This option may seem absurdly speculative, but in fact it is based on + laboratory work that has been carried out for several years. Subjects + have had their temporal lobes excited by external electromagnetic + radiations, with the result that many of them experience visions and + sensations remarkably similar to the standard abduction. This will + also be covered in detail in future articles. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE INVESTIGATOR'S EDGE Part XII + + HANGNAIL, MAYBE! + ---------------- + + 20 + [Contributed by Georgia MUFON] + + The next time you have one of those UFO sightings...in addition to + looking at the UFO...note the time...direction...and stick your arm out + straight forward toward the object with hand up fingers apart palm + outward.

"We are accepting the description of the +crew but are unable to support what they saw." + The FAA report, made public Thursday, included radar tapes and +transcripts of interviews with the crew of the Japanese commercial jet +and air traffic controllers. + No evidence was found to contradict the crew, but the agency did say +an unexplained radar image seen by three controllers that seemed to +confirm the sighting was actually a split image of the Japan Air Lines +cargo plane. + The UFOs were spotted by the JAL crew when they entered Alaskan air +space on a flight that began in Iceland. Crew members saw two belts of +lights three miles ahead that hovered almost stationary, then shifted +from side-to-side and rapidly pulsed across the sky. + "... Most unexpectedly two space ships stopped in front of our face, +shooting off lights," said pilot Kenju Terauchi. "The inside cockpit +shined brightly and I felt warm in the face." + Later, above Fairbanks, Terauchi saw "a silhouette of a gigantic +spaceship" and obtained controllers' permission to make a series of +turns to "run away quickly." He said the object stayed with the +aircraft. + Controllers directed a United Airlines plane to intersect the +aircraft path, but Terauchi said, "When the United plane came by our +side, the spaceship disappeared suddenly and there was nothing but the +light of the moon." + It was the third UFO sighting of Terauchi's 29-year career as a +pilot. + Copilot Takanori Tamefuja and engineer Woshio Tsukupa said the +November UFO sighting was their first. + Tsukupa saw white and amber colored lights that glowed with a strange +intensity "that I cannot describe ... not even in Japanese." + Tamefuji saw the first series of lights but could not make out the +UFO over Fairbanks because it was on the captain's side of the cockpit. +However, he said an object showed on the plane's radar. + The FAA also released a report of a UFO sighting Jan. 29 picked up on +radar by the crew of an Alaska Airlines passenger plane over McGrath. + The crew, flying at 35,000 feet, reported a radar target moving in +front of the plane at 300 miles a minute but quickly lost track of it. + The agency could not confirm that radar sighting because it did not +have ground radar in the area. + <<>> + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/jinns.txt b/textfiles.com/ufo/jinns.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e6ff5af9 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/jinns.txt @@ -0,0 +1,736 @@ +====================================================================== +<> * 416-237-1204 * PC-Pursuitable * File Requestable * HST + * 24 Hour Operation * Sysop - Tom Mickus * Toronto * FREE +====================================================================== +====================================================================== + +JINNS.TXT - The True Nature Of UFO Entities -G.C.

Ever since its publication, + the article has been treated throughout the world with total silence, and + and there is a general agreement among all Ufologists on both sides of the + Atlantic never to give it a mention. + + FSR Consultant Dr Richard F. Haines expected me to print his + comphrehensive REVIEW OF EXPLANATORY HYPOTHESES FOR UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL + PHENOMENA, and I promptly did so. (FSR 32/2 - 1987.) But it might be + noted that he did not deem it necessary to include the slightest reference + to my work in his survey, even as a minimal gesture of courtesy. + + Four of the leading experts in Ufology in the world have written + me privately to say that they think I am on the right track. Only one + of them - Ann Druffel - has had the guts to say so publicly. EDITOR + + + ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- + + + One of the more curious features of the followers of the various + + religions is that, being so dogmatically certain that in their own + + particular little faith they already possess the whole Truth about all + + things in Heaven and Earth, it almost never occurs to any of them to look + + elsewhere and find out what the followers of other religions may know or + + may have discovered. + + + This is certainly a pity, for study of all the great world-religions + + - and notably Islam - would yield valuable clues as to the true nature + + of the so-called "UFO Phenomenon" and would rapidly eliminate much of + + the fatuous "Space-Age Mythology" that has been spawned in such profusion + + over the last three decades. + + + Islam knows, in fact, of the existence of THREE entirely separate + + and distinct species of intelligent beings in the Universe, and indeed + + can furnish suprisingly precise details regarding their natures and roles + + and activities. + + + ANGELS, MEN, AND JINNS + + + The first category is of course that of the ANGELS or Messengers + + (Greek: ANGELOS; Hebrew: MALACH; Arabic: MALAK). These are high beings + + created of LIGHT. + + + The third category are MEN, with bodies created according to the + + QUR'AN, of CLAY, or, in other words, this being poetic language, they + + have physical bodies assembled from the mineral and chemical elements of + + our PERIODIC TABLE - the "PLANETARY BODY", as Gurdjieff used to call it. + + + The second category, however, and the one with which we are here + + concerned, is the category of those beings (CREATED BEFORE MAN WAS) who + + are referred to collectively in Arabic as AL-JINN *1*. Although there + + is some dispute about it among Arab grammarians, most of their lex- + + icologists seem to hold that the word derives - as Arabic words almost + + invariably do - from a verb-root, namely JANNA, "TO HIDE OR TO CONCEAL" + + - indeed a very fitting derivation for the name of these creatures. + + + Whereas the bodies of Angels are of light and the bodies of men + + are of the gross elements of the Earth, the bodies of AL-JINN consist + + of what is variously translated as "ESSENTIAL FIRE" *2*, or "ESSENTIAL + + FLAME", or "SMOKELESS FIRE" *3*, or "SMOKELESS FLAME", and it is + + specifically stated in the QUR'AN (Surah XV, 26 and 27) THAT THEY WERE + + CREATED BEFORE MANKIND WAS. (Some scholars have speculated that these + + might be the "PRE-ADAMIC MEN" whose existence is hinted at here and + + there in the Holy Bible.) + + + There has been much debate among modern students of Arabic as + + to precisely what these terms "MIN NARI AL-SAMUMI" *2* and "MIN MARIJIN + + MIN NARIN" *3* can conceivably mean in modern parlance, and some + + scholars have concluded that, in using these terms, the Prophet Muhammad + + (the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was there attempting to + + describe what Western occultists have tried to describe by such terms + + as ETHER, or maybe the so-called ETHERIC OR ASTRAL PLANES. (I have also + + seen it suggested that some sort of PLASMA is indicated.) + + + (Needless to say, such concepts as ETHERIC PLANE and ASTRAL + + PLANE have no meaning for modern Science and, so far as I know, apart + + from Dirac, the physicists have abandoned their speculations regarding + + the existence of an ether.) + + + + THE SOURCE OF THE JINNS + + + + Wherever it is that the JINNS are thought of as being normally + + located, it seems highly likely that the source of many of them, at any + + rate, is not very distant from us, and some Muslim scholars who have + + become aware of the current Western research into the so-called "UFO + + Phenomenon" and have reflected awhile upon it have concluded - and I + + think correctly - that maybe the best way we can start to visualize + + these matters is by thinking of the JINNS AS BEING VERY CLOSE INDEED + + TO US AND AND YET AT THE SAME TIME SOMEHOW VERY FAR FROM US. IN OTHER + + WORDS, ON SOME OTHER DIMENSION, OR IN SOME OTHER SPACE/TIME FRAMEWORK, + + "RIGHT HERE', OR MAYBE IN A WORLD OF ANTI-MATTER RIGHT HERE, OR + + OCCUPYING AS IT WERE SOME OTHER UNIVERSE THAT IS HERE, BEHIND ALICE'S + + MIRROR: "A MIRROR-UNIVERSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPACE-TIME + + CONTINUUM" AS IT HAS BEEN NEATLY PUT BY SOME INVESTIGATORS. + + + The QUR'AN, however, is not clear on this, and admittedly it looks + + as though it is very possible that some of the JINNS could be fully + + physical and what we call extraterrestrials, while other species of + + them are of an altogether and finer sort of matter, corresponding to + + what various UFO investigators have tried to indicate by such terms + + as "ULTRATERRESTRIAL" or "METATERRESTRIAL". + + + In thinking abou these ideas, we might bear in mind the theory + + of the Russian philosopher P.D. Ouspensky regarding the possible + + existence of other, more subtle, levels of matter on which the elements + + of the Periodic Table of our own chemical world are repeated - and, if + + I understand him aright, repeated more than once, on more than one + + level. The early writings of Dr. Meade Layne in the USA about the + + "DENSE ETHERIC WORLD" from which he maintained that the UFO entities + + and their craft originated should also be borne in mind. (His book, + + THE COMING OF THE GUARDIANS, was published in 1958, and may prove one + + day to have been very important indeed.) Certain of the benevolent + + JINNS may well be our "Guardians". + + + That there is some close affinity, or some link of destiny + + between JINNS and Mankind seems certain, for although the vast majority + + of the JINNS are DEVILS, SHAYTANS *4*, nevertheless we are assured in + + the QUR'AN that some among their many species are "goodies" and are + + capable of salvation. For it is specifically stated that Muhammad was + + sent as a Messenger to both Mankind and the JINNS, so that, in the + + Final Days, some of the JINNS will enter into Paradise, while the rest + + of them will be cast down into Hell. Their revelation to IBLIS *5*, + + the Top Devil ( = SATAN) is in general somewhat obscure. In the QUR'AN + + IBLIS is certainly described as a JINN, but elsewhere in the QUR'AN he + + is also described as an ANGEL. (Surely the explanation is that IBLIS + + is that same high being, originally of Angelic status, who rebelled + + against God and is named in the Christian texts as LUCIFER?) + + + Had we the space, much more might be said about the JINNS and + + their doings, but only a brief account of their main characteristics + + can here be given. Their principal features, as listed below, are as + + I have gathered them from all the Muslim written and traditional + + sources that I have been able to consult over the past 15 years. The + + reader can see for himself the parallels with the reported features + + of UFO entities and can draw his own conclusions. I hope I do not + + have to labour the point, space being precious. + + + + THE CHIEF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JINNS + + + 1. In the normal state they are not visible to ordinary human + + sight. + + 2. They are, however, capable of materializing and appearing + + in the physical world. And they can alternately make themselves + + visible or invisible at will. + + 3. They can change shape, and appear in any sort of guise, + + large or small. (See for example, Ahmad Jamaludin's excellent report, + + A WAVE OF SMALL HUMANOIDS IN MALAYSIA IN 1970, in FSR Vol. 28, No. 5). + + Ahmad Jamaludin is a Muslim, and he knows, of course, what it is that + + we are talking about. + + 4. They are able also to appear in the guise of ANIMALS. (Yetis? + + Pumas? Loch Ness Monsters?) + + 5. They are inveterate liars and deceivers, and delight in + + bamboozling and misleading mankind with all manner of nonsense. (See + + the average Spiritualist SEANCE for examples of their activities, and + + also the usual "communications" from UFO entities in close-encounter + + cases.) + + 6. They are addicted to the abduction or kidnapping of humans. + + (The Scotsman Robert Kirk, who wrote "THE SECRET COMMONWEALTH" in 1691, + + evidently "knew more than was good for his health", and was killed by + + them.) + + 7. They delight in tempting humans into sexual intercourse and + + liaisons with them, and Arabic literature abounds with accounts of this + + kind of contact by mankind with both the "goodies" and the "baddies" + + among the JINNS. There are also even a considerable number of accounts + + of encounters between the "goodies" and famous Muslim saints. For + + example, the book MANAQUIB AL-ARIFIN *6* has a number of very significant + + references to contacts between such higher beings, and JALAL AL-DIN RUMI, + + Islam's greatest mystical poet, who lived from 1207 to 1273. + + + (I often wonder which category of JINNUS it was that was en- + + countered in Brazil by the farmer A.V.B. See my third article on + + "A.V.B.", POSTCRIPT TO THE MOST AMAZING CASE OF ALL, in FSR Vol. 11, + + No. 4, August 1965.) + + + IN OFFICIAL ISLAM - AND THIS CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED - THE + + EXISTENCE OF THE JINNS HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY ACCEPTED, EVEN LEGALLY, + + AND EVEN TO THIS DAY, IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE. THE FULL CONSEQUENCES + + IMPLIED BY THEIR EXISTENCE WERE WORKED OUT LONG AGO. THEIR LEGAL STATUS, + + IN ALL RESPECTS, WAS DISCUSSED AND FIXED, AND THE POSSIBLE RELATIONS + + BETWEEN THEM AND MANKIND - ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO QUESTIONS OF + + MARRIAGE AND PROPERTY! - WERE SERIOUSLY EXAMINED BY JURISTS, AS THE + + GREATEST AND MOST AUTHORITATIVE WESTERN SOURCE, THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF + + ISLAM, CONFIRMS. + + + Stories of sexual commerce between JINNS and mankind have been of + + perennial interest to Arab readers, and it is important at this point to + + mention that in CHINESE literature (and in China the Han population are + + not Muslims - only certain of the smaller minority peoples of the North- + + West and Far West are) there is also a considerable tradition of this + + sort which awaits examination by Ufologists. + + + The great Arabic literary catalogue known as the FIHRIST *7*, + + compiled in the year 373 of the Muslim Calendar ( = A.D. 995) by + + Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Abi Ya'qub al-Nadim al-Warraq al-Baghdadi, lists + + no less than sixteen works dealing with this theme. (Compare also the + + European occultists' records of sexual contact between men and female + + SYLPHS, as well as the copious mediaeval Christian records relating to + + INCUBI and SUCCABAE.) + + + Most Westerners will discount all this talk about the JINNS with + + the usual argument that the Arabs "are barbarians anyway". Let me + + therefore point out that, in A.D.995, when the FIHRIST was written, the + + brilliant civilization of the Arabs was incomparably higher than anything + + elsewhere in the world except for China and that our Christian, Western, + + RENAISSANCE owes its origins as much to our contact with Islam (the + + Crusades) as to the early percolation of Greek learning to the West. + + As a matter of fact quite a lot of the philosophy and the literature of + + the Greeks reached us first, not in Greek at all, but in the Arabic + + translations secured from Cordoba and Toledo in Spain in the 10th and + + 11th centuries, when the Muslims still held most of Spain. It is only + + in the last few centuries, and particularly since the Industrial + + Revolution and the growth of modern materialistic Science, that the + + West has forged ahead. But in 1200 A.D. Muslim Science was in the + + lead, particularly in such fields as Medicine, Mathematics, and + + Astronomy, and it would be grossly impudent to assume that our current + + "superiority" over them has anything permanent about it. + + + 8. THE JINNS are wont to snatch up humans and teleport or + + transport them, setting them down again - if indeed they ever do set + + them down again - miles away from where they were picked up, and all + + this is the "twinkling of an eye". (See my first article on TELEPORTATIONS, + + about the Spanish soldier who, on October 25, 1593, was suddenly taken + + from Manila in the Philippine Islands across the Pacific to Mexico City. + + In FSR Vol. 11, No. 2, 1965). + + + 9. The Arabian tradition asserts that, throughout all known + + history, there have been a few particular human beings who, through + + some strange favour, have "been in league with the JINNS" or "had a + + compact with the JINNS" - to such a degree that the JINNS have endowed + + them with what we regard as "preternatural powers" - ie., PSYCHIC POWERS. + + These humans have consequently become known as wonder-workers, + + soothsayers, and MAGICIANS. (Either "white magicians" or "black + + magicians", depending of course upon what sort of JINNS they were in + + league with.) + + + Here again, compare the European tradition about individuals who + + have discovered how to collaborate with the KINGDOM OF THE SYLPHS or the + + FAIRIES. For example, there is the case of the "working partnership", + + not more than seventy years ago, between a SYLPH and a highly successful + + Parisian dealer in rare old books. The SYLPH made its contribution by + + acting as the "scout" and finding out where and in whose possession the + + rare books were. All the dealer had to do then was to approach the + + owners and offer to buy! + + + 10. Along with all these displays of prowess by the JINNS there + + goes, finally, a tremendous TELEPATHIC POWER and the ability (to use an + + age-old term) to "CAST A GLAMOUR" over their human victims. Our UFO + + records are already full of evidence of this. + + + How much of what we see happening today, at the highest levels + + of international politics, as well as in ordinary human affairs, can + + be attributed to this subtle control and interference in our lives by + + insidious and unseen forces! Indeed, this is one of the prime reasons + + for the parlous state in which man finds himself. Some recent reports + + from UFO investigators hint at alien plans to provoke war here and drive + + the Gadarene Swine (mankind) over into the abyss. + + + The present-day Christians, who generally seem to have very + + little sense of curiosity, are apparently quite happy to pass their + + days in total ignorance of all this. But a careful study of the New + + Testament (AND ONLY IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK!) will show clearly that + + nothing of what is said above was unknown either to the Teacher and + + Healer Jeshu of Nazareth or to his principal followers - particularly + + Paul. (Incidentally, Christians may like to know that in Islam the full + + name and title of Jeshu of Nazareth is ISSA, SON OF MARY, WORD OF GOD.) + + + Long before the rise of Christianity or Islam there were of + + course other great Teachers (Messengers) who preceived clearly the + + situation in which mankind finds itself. One of these was Zarathustra + + (Zoroaster) in the old Iranian civilization of the Achaemenidae - about + + 600 or 700 years B.C. The great religious text left by Zarathustra is + + the AVESTA, which tells us much about the Demonic Forces, referred to + + under the blanket term of AHRIMAN, the Enemy of Light. Mankind, in + + this teaching, is seen as a special creation of ORMAZD, the SUPREME + + SPIRIT, who is locked in permanent conflict with AHRIMAN. + + + THE SOUL OF MAN IS THE OBJECT OF THE WAR, AND MAN HIMSELF IS + + THE BATTLEFIELD. + + + + DR. RUDOLPH STEINER + + + + In our days, there has probably been no teacher who saw and + + understood all this more clearly that the great Austrian Dr. Rudolf + + Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society. + + + Clairvoyant from childhood, Steiner saw into the other worlds + + and planes and saw deeply into the human heart, and no books or teach- + + ings are so relevant as his are to the crisis of mankind that is now + + upon us. His lectures throughout 1917, for example, show clearly that + + he foresaw, in their totality, the political, social, and military + + results and the police-state tyranny which would inevitably follow from + + the Russian Revolution, just as the "Lady" of the Apparitions at Fatima + + in the same year also did. Steiner foresaw what would result in the + + world as a whole from a materialistic science run mad: the development + + of "test-tube" man, "biological engineering" and other horrors; the + + deliberate creation and development of living monsters; and the soul- + + less, God-less, dehumanized, computerized, insect-like chromium and + + plastic slave world of "1984" that may now be at hand. + + + According to Steiner, a tremendous and crucial round in the + + battle was fought out in the last thirty years of the 19th century, + + and on the Inner Planes, between the Forces of AHRIMAN (the term he + + took over from Zarathustra) and the FORCES OF LIGHT. These latter + + are conventionally known to our Western, Christian tradition as the + + Cohorts of Michael. Steiner said that the fight ended in a complete + + victory for the LIGHT, but that, as a result of it, a great many of + + the powerful demonic beings had been actually cast down upon the + + planet Earth, with the consequence that their presence and their in- + + fluence now impinge more than ever upon the propects and the destiny + + of mankind. + + + STEINER TAUGHT THAT THE COMING YEARS WILL SEE INCREDIBLE + + UPHEAVALS, IN THE COURSE OF WHICH THIS GREAT BATTLE WILL BE CARRIED + + FORWARD, TO ITS CONCLUSION, INSIDE EVERY HUMAN HEART. See Rudolf + + Steiner: DER STURZ DER GEISTER DER FINSTERNIS: (THE OVERTHROW OF THE + + SPIRITS OF DARKNESS), Series of Lectures, 1917. (Available only in + + German.) + + + The objective of the Forces of Darkness is to take over the + + stream of human evolution, to merge with it, and to divert mankind + + from the evolutionary development planned for it. The end result of + + this would be new creatures in which those qualities that represent + + the highest that we know would have been eliminated. + + + Smart-alecky modern man of the Pop Age, the "Trousered Ape" as + + he has been called, has of course no use for all this sort of "rubbish", + + and immense numbers of our species have discarded all belief in the + + existence of demons, along with any belief in the Great Power that rules + + the Universe. + + + (Sophisticated folk nowadays know that the world was not created + + by God, but by Karl Marx. And they know that Lenin and successors are + + His Prophets.) + + + There is a delightful passage in C.S. Lewis's SCREWTAPE LETTERS, + + where the Senior Devil, talking to one of his underlings, makes a + + profoundly important remark: "OF COURSE, OUR GREATEST TRUMP-CARD IS + + THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY *KNOWS* WE DON'T EXIST." (Or words to that + + effect.) + + + Similarly, the vast majority of mankind KNOW that JINNS and UFOs + + and UFO entities don't exist. And what a nice advantage that is for + + the entities! + + + But what if HOMO SAP (so-called, self-dubbed) were in for some + + big shocks in the near future? What then? + + + With the recent advance of Science, man has rapidly become aware + + of the vastness of the Cosmos and of the probability that there exist + + out there innumerable other physical worlds inhabited by intelligent + + beings, some of which, for all we know, may be (as we dearly hope) + + identical with men, with our tastes and our values, our hopes and our + + fears. + + + It is natural that some among us, surveying the impasse into + + which we have got ourselves, might well be tempted to look up to the + + stars in the hope that someone wiser than we are might arrive one day + + from there and give us all the easy answers. + + + If there be any truth in the ancient story that the inhabitants + + of Magonia, unlike men, do not possess the possibility of developing + + immortal souls, and therefore are anxious to acquire such by mating + + with us and mingling their life-stream with ours, what moment could be + + more propitious to them for achieving their purpose than now? + + + Can't you just hear the message of their Captain? + + + -"WE ARE FROM TAU CETI, AND WE COME TO BRING YOU SALVATION + AND SHOW YOU THE WAY OUT OF YOUR PROBLEMS.

Our elected re- +presentatives have no idea what we in the Military have done and are still +doing, since the CIA decided that "they do not have a need to know," mak- +ing it mandatory for all of us in the Military and Government, both active +and retired, who have knowledge regarding UFOs, to testify with total im- +munity before a special congressional committee. The CIA can not object, +because officially "UFOs do not exist." + The UFO cover-up is not in our national security interest. It should +be stopped, because it hurts military morale. Our group, Justice for Mili- +tary Personnel (JMP), consists of retired military personnel who were af- +fected by, or involved in different capacities with the UFO cover-up. Un- +der orders of the CIA, in the "interest of national security," we took +part in intentionally misleading the nation, manipulating the press, the +courts and most politicians. + +INTRODUCTION: + The CIA UFO cover-up, is being perpetrated against the American peo- +ple and not our potential enemies. The Russians have a whole town exclus- +ively for UFO research. The CIA insists that the UFO cover-up must be kept +at all costs, otherwise the military will be ineffective. The CIA correct- +ly maintains, that military personnel will disobey orders when confronted +by UFOs. For example, during the Vietnam War, pilots refused orders to fly +night missions against UFOs. Since fatal accidents, UFO related, are rela- +tively rare (with the exception of the Vietnam War), the CIA prefers to +maintain the cover-up. + NSA, NASA, CIA, RAND and AFOSI associates, have informed us that +UFOs have many origins. Some obviously represent civilizations, thousands +of years more advanced than we are. Almost everything about them, their +motives and operations are strange and incomprehensible to us. There is +little we can do to protect ourselves from them. The Air Force is totally +helpless to handle the situation, because of UFO's incredible flight per- +formance. The CIA and Pentagon are bewildered by UFOs' apparent ability to +jam all our ground and air electronic equipment, or instantaneously dis- +able all our weapons control systems. The CIA has decided to try to under- +stand and duplicate UFO propulsion systems at all cost. This means that +pilot lives have been sacrificed in UFO chases to get "UFO samples" for +research, therefore `Ignorance is Bliss.' + RAND maintains that the CIA is gambling that a major catastrophe, +such as the July, 1952, mass UFO appearance over Washington, DC and the +White House, will not happen again, so that no "explanations will be need- +ed. NORAD, along with many of us in the armed forces, bitterly oppose per- +petuation of this cover-up, pointing to the public panic potential of the +1952 disaster. We in the JMP feel that too many military personnel suf- +fered or died as a result of not being informed about UFOs. It is time to +tell our armed forces the truth. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE to continue to use +military personnel as guinea pigs. + +CRIMES WE COMMITTED UNDER CIA PRESSURE: + Forty years ago, the cover-up was confined to a very few individuals +within the Military and Government. Today, many thousands are effected or +involved. This deceitful CIA policy is breeding resentment in the serv- +ices, for we were ordered to act illegally, against our fellow military +personnel and our nation. Our JMP group has many military personnel and +others who are waiting to testify. The following are a few examples of +deceptive activities we carried out while on active duty: + 1: We intentionally ordered pilots to shoot at UFOs, with the hope +of acquiring a UFO for research purposes. These resulted sometimes in +instant explosions and death to the pilots or instantaneous "disappear- +ances" of pilot and plane. The UFOs occupants seem to be monitoring all of +our pilots' actions. We analyzed hundreds of UFO gun camera films and it +seems that some UFOs are remote controlled. + 2. We have strictly silenced military pilots who reported UFOs. We +do not allow our pilots to discuss UFO chases EVEN AMONG THEMSELVES. + 3. We interrogated, intimidated and harassed military personnel who +saw UFOs, to "convince" them (excluding pilots and astronauts), that they +"did not see" what they saw; frightened them with the prospect of long +prison sentences if they told anyone what they saw; transferred them alone +to bases around the world, where, even if they were to talk, nobody would +believe them; forced some of them into mental institutions; jailed them; +destroyed their military careers; did everything possible to intimidate +UFO witnesses by fear into self doubt and silence. + 4. We distributed fraudulent information, through Military and Gov- +ernment spokesmen or scientists, to debunk all public UFO sightings. + 5. We forced the FAA, NASA, and other Government agencies to conform +to CIA UFO policies. + 6. We violated the Freedom of Information Act by hiding documents. + 7. We smeared commercial pilots who publicly reported UFOs and +forced their companies to silence them. + 8. We did not confirm when civilian planes around the world also +temporarily lost control or completely disappeared when UFOs were present. + We slandered ruthlessly some of our most outstanding and competent +citizens, who dared to report UFO sightings, while we knew all along that +they were telling the truth, as we tracked the UFOs on radar. + 10. We silenced Congressmen and Senators who requested UFO inform- +ation for their constituents. These representatives are now silent part- +ners to this cover-up and are consequently directly responsible for all +the crimes we committed. + +PRESS IN DEFAULT: + The national UFO debunking campaign ordered by the CIA in 1953, pub- +lished books and planted hundreds of articles in the press, to create an +atmosphere of ridicule around the subject of UFOs, falsely creating "UFO +contacts" and "UFO" hoaxes. This campaign which is still in effect today, +infiltrated major civilian civilian UFO groups, to ridicule them or divert +their efforts towards "other explanations." This UFO cover-up has been suc- +cessful beyond CIA's highest expectations, due primarily to the brilliant +manipulation of the press by the CIA via the ridicule strategy. The Estab- +lishment Press, afraid of being ridiculed, proved to be gullible beyond +belief to "official statements." + The press, for example, in attempting to divorce itself completely +from UFO data, did not question why the CIA refused to give UFO informa- +tion to the then Senator Barry Goldwater who at the time was chairman of +the Senate Intelligence Committee. IF SENATOR GOLDWATER (WHO HAS BEEN +AWARE OF THE COVER-UP) DOES NOT HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH SECURITY CLEARANCE TO +GET UFO INFORMATION, THEN WHO IN OUR GOVERNMENT DOES? The press failed to +ask, if UFOs "do not exist," why did the CIA tell Senator Goldwater that +UFO data is classified "above top secret" and "above any other secret in +the USA"? The CIA debunking campaign, using some of the best brains in +this country, slowly "educated" most journalists that they can only be +rewarded, by abandoning any sense of journalistic ethics when it comes to +reporting about UFOs. + One of the most audaciously deceptive acts by the CIA involved Pres- +ident Carter (who himself had sighted a UFO), when he requested NASA to +look into the possibility of UFO research. Until that moment, all of us +who were involved with the UFO cover-up assumed that the President was +informed by the CIA about UFOs the moment he entered office and that he +was aware of the huge sum of money invested in UFO research since 1953. +Until that moment, IT WAS INCONCEIVABLE to us that the President of the +United States would be kept totally uninformed by the CIA. + At that time, NASA's scientific team concluded that the UFO cover-up +should end because the public already knew that most astronauts in space +photographed UFOs, or had been followed by UFOs, and that the astronauts +were forced by regulations to lie to the press. Shortly before NASA's re- +lease of the news to the press, the CIA insisted on continuing to maintain +the cover-up and pressured NASA to lied to the public. NASA therefore re- +leased a statement dictated by the CIA, contradictory to their own scien- +tists' conclusions. Victor Marchetti (former Executive Assistant to the +Deputy Director of the CIA), openly maintains that President Carter prob- +ably was forced to participate in the CIA's UFO cover-up. + Most of the preposterous "explanations" of UFOs were originated by +the CIA's debunking headquarters, and disseminated to the public mostly +through the Air Force, FAA, FBI, CIA, NASA, NORAD or Pentagon spokesmen. +These shocking, mind boggling "explanations" (swamp gas, stars, etc.), +released usually after long delays, often constituted an insult to Amer- +ican public intelligence, instead of an explanation. Though these "explan- +ations" often were not logical, scientific, or factual at all, they were +eagerly accepted by the press, which was relieved to quickly dispose of +"another UFO story." There were often sharp contradictions between these +"explanations" and the pilots and radar controllers' statements, which +rarely seemed to bother the press, who claim to be Government watch dogs. + +SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY IN DEFAULT: + Project `Blue Book', the `Condon Report', and many notable scien- +tists, are part of the CIA's cover-up. The `Condon Report' is a scientific +farce which was immediately exposed as a fraud by the late Professor James +E. MacDonald (world's foremost, non CIA, authority on UFOs). The `Condon +Report' has been heavily criticized ever since by all other competent +scientists (who do not work for the CIA), who actually examined the report +in depth. Incredible as it seems, many in the scientific community today +have not, and still regard the `Condon Report' as an impartial scientific +study. This attitude is a source of much amusement and self satisfaction +in the intelligence community. This manipulation of American public opin- +ion and the advanced mind control techniques employed by the CIA, were de- +scribed by one Air Force doctor as: "Psychiatric Fascism contradictory to +any democratic principles." + Now more than ever, due to our highly sophisticated detection sys- +tems, UFOs are being detected frequently over our bases and missile silos +and they have tampered with our nuclear missiles. They are being photo- +graphed in restricted areas, monitoring our military experiments. We track +them visually and/or on radar across the USA and Canada almost daily. +World-wide intelligence reports indicate very similar sightings. Many of +us objected long ago to this senseless UFO cover-up. But we could not do +anything, because the CIA controls all our military intelligence agencies +and has overwhelming influence over many Government agencies. + +CONCLUSIONS: + FBI associates defined the UFO cover-up as the biggest crime ever +perpetrated against our people. The CIA, in the name of "National Security +Interest," has flagrantly violated the letter and spirit of the law. The +Uniform Code of Military Justice DOES NOT offer our soldiers any protec- +tion regarding this cover-up. As JMP members, we are torn between our de- +sire to maintain the military oath of secrecy and our sense of ethics as +responsible loyal citizens of this great nation. Yet we are fully dedi- +cated to preventing the UFO cover-up from continuing to be the status quo +in this free nation. When our country requests us in the military to give +up our lives for this land, the least the Government can do, is tell us +against whom we are fighting and why. We have the right to know. + +JMP CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY: + Lack of competent news reporting on this issue, has led to the crea- +tion of JMP. We feel it is our responsibility to speak up for our citizens +who are still on active military duty. A RAND study indicates that, bar- +ring unforeseen circumstances, the CIA may continue the cover-up unabated +under the umbrella of secrecy and ridicule. JMP members therefore have pre- +pared a program that may effectively disintegrate the UFO cover-up. NSA +associate commented to us: "...once the nation will learn the magnitude of +the UFO cover-up, it may lead to a sense of awakening and outrage which +could lead to civil disobedience acts that will make the Boston Tea Party +pale by comparison, and may lead to the downfall of the CIA." + The CIA's collapse is not our intention because the CIA is important +for national defense. There is a need to preserve whatever integrity the +CIA may still have in the American public's eyes. The issue of this letter +is not CIA credibility, but our Government's credibility. This insane +CIA's UFO cover-up must end. It is a `Time-Bomb' which can't be disarmed. +This `Time-Bomb' according to RAND, is gaining momentum and must explode +one day, LET US EXPOSE IT NOW AND HELP SAVE ADDITIONAL UNNECESSARY LOSS OF +MILITARY LIVES. + This letter intentionally omits the most spectacular events in the +UFO cover-up. Members of JMP fell that it will be more appropriate that +the President himself, once informed by the CIA, will disclose these +events to the nation. We regret the anonymity of this letter, but we have +no other choice because the CIA has a clear policy of eliminating any in- +siders who may expose the UFO cover-up. As soon as the Executive Order is +issued, we will be the first to testify. Please reply via the `MUFON UFO +Journal.' + Mr. President, you have a unique opportunity in the history of man- +kind. With the interest of national security and unity in our hearts, we +respectfully wait for your actions. + + J.M.P. + San Antonio, TX + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/ufo/jslearrep.ufo b/textfiles.com/ufo/jslearrep.ufo new file mode 100644 index 00000000..97af936c --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/ufo/jslearrep.ufo @@ -0,0 +1,215 @@ +EXTRATERRESTRIAL BIOLOGICAL ENTITIES (EBE'S) AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO +HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH: AN EXPLANATORY HYPOTHESIS + +PART I + +Preface + +The following hypothesis discusses the significance of UFO occupant +activities to human civilization and development. To understand the +terminology and concepts discussed in this paper, readers are encouraged +to review the following works: UFO Crash at Aztec by William Steinman and +Wendelle Stevens, particularly the addendum in the back of the book titled +"The Bennewitz Story" (pages 578-604); The Roswell Incident by William +Moore; Leonard Stringfield's Status Reports II and III on UFO +crash/retrievals; John Lear's "LEAR.TXT" on Paranet computer bulletin +board; the updated transcript of Linda Howe's documentary "Strange +Harvest" (page 64); Jerome Clark's article in the April 1988 issue of Fate +magazine: "UFO Crashes, Part IV", and Communion by Whitley Strieber. + + +Introduction + + +In December of 1987, airline pilot and UFO researcher John Lear published +a letter on Paranet. Based on his research, Lear concluded that +extraterrestrial biological entities (EBE's) are malevolent beings from +space who have orchestrated a deceptive, "well-planned invasion of Earth +for its resources and benefits." Lear's scenario reads like the plot of a +science fiction horror film: The EBE'S have perpetrated a "grand +deception" on humans to hide their true motives which are to create +human-alien crossbreeds, presumably for sinister purposes, and consume +human +biological matter. According to Lear, the EBE'S terminate any humans who +might interfere with them. + Because John Lear appears to be sincere in his research and has +impressive credentials, ufologists are seriously examining his statement. +For example, Jim Speiser, Paranet's administrator, says in his +introduction to Lear's letter, "John...has contacts in sensitive positions +that could conceivably allow him access to information of this type." + Lear may have contacts that have provided him with accurate data, but +his speculations and hypotheses are presented with the same authority and +confidence as his alleged facts, even though his conclusions seem +extremely questionable. + Rather than being sinister or malevolent, is it possible that EBE'S +are members of an advanced evolutionary level of life who are tending this +planet as a garden? Might they be cultivating human life, not as a food +source, but to give human beings the opportunity to become, through their +choices, potential members and contributors to the EBE's' advanced level? +Could this planet be one of numerous planetary "gardens" established by +the EBE's for such a purpose? + In this context, all EBE activity could be seen as benevolent. +However, certain aspects of their work might seem frightening or +traumatic to a human mind, depending on that mind's level of development +and comprehension. Does the plant understand when the gardener uproots it +to replant it in better soil, or prunes and grafts to ensure proper +improved growth? + In the field of science, a single set of data has often been +interpreted in profoundly different ways. When we are dealing with +obviously advanced technology, how can we be sure that we are interpreting +what we see with any accuracy? Can those who base conclusions about +advanced beings only on what is measurable or verifiable by current +technology ever see more than a limited picture? Even if John Lear's +facts are correct concerning underground CIA-alien facilities, body parts +floating in vats of amber liquid, etc., the facts do not necessarily +warrant Lear's horrified conclusions. + Is it possible to arrive at a valid conclusion based solely on "hard +evidence"? Perhaps not, but we should not adopt a purely spiritual +approach either, as do many UFO contactees and "channelers" or we risk +arriving at pleasant metaphysical fantasies that do not jive with observed +phenomena. + Lear posed the question, "What is the big picture, anyway?" +(Lear.txt). In attempting to answer this, we obviously need a big frame +of reference. Perhaps examining some of the details that Lear discussed +will give us that perspective. + + +* * * * * + + + John Lear suggests, along with Budd Hopkins, that EBE's may be on the +"backside of an evolutionary genetic curve." They base this on the EBE's +having, for example, a lack of hair and teeth, fewer fingers and toes, and +atrophied or missing digestive and reproductive organs. Isn't it possible +that just the opposite is true--that the absence of digestive and +reproductive organs are signs of evolving and outgrowing the need for +"primitive" organs? Rather than the EBE's needing to revitalize +themselves by inbreeding with humans and/or consuming extractions from +human and bovine tissue, isn't it possible that they are experimenting +with hybridization and tissue samples for our sakes? + If you consider the possibility that UFO occupants may have been +involved in the creation of free-willed human beings from the very +beginning, couldn't their present genetic work be an effort to correct the +severe damage that we have inflicted upon our genetic structure? Maybe +the EBE's are seeking ways to undo the effects of generations of +unrestrained primitive behavior (territorialism, wars,selfishness, etc.), +drug usage, pollution, food additives, etc.? + Could EBE's represent the goal toward which human beings have the +capacity to evolve if they choose? This may be difficult for some to +accept if they see the EBE's appearance as "strange" by human standards. +Could it also be hard to think about because our egos have difficulty with +the notion that human beings do not represent the height of evolutionary +advancement in the universe? Lear himself notes how difficult it was for +the human mind to accept that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth. + Lear acknowledges that EBE's may be as much as a billion years ahead +of human beings in advancement. How does this jive with his statement +that "the EBE's have a genetic disorder in that their digestive system is +atrophied?" It seems more probable that a digestive system is simply not +required for a space-dwelling organism. (Just think of the time that +leaves them free to do more significant work than preparing food, eating, +digesting, and eliminating.) And if they are so advanced that they can +create life in a laboratory, why would they need reproductive organs? + Lear concludes that EBE's are deriving sustenance from enzyme or +hormonal secretions applied to their skin. Aren't there other possible +explanations for these applications? This is pure conjecture, but could +they be applying these secretions to their skin as a means of analyzing +them, that +is, using their own bodies as test subjects? + Let's take a look at so-called mutilations for a moment. A +significant point in researcher Linda Howe's examination of animal +mutilations comes in an update to her documentary "Strange Harvest." In +the transcript of that film (update 1st broadcast, May 25, 1980), Howe +says she received information from a psychic in Albuquerque. The psychic +correctly predicted that a deviation would occur in the surgical method +used by the aliens, "...which is...a necessity in order to arrive at a +success in formulation of a serum-like concoction which will be returned +to mankind during a time of need." (Howe p. 64) Linda Howe might be +commended for her courage as an investigator in quoting a psychic. The +point is that there may be beneficial reasons why the EBE's are performing +their surgical operations. It is interesting that when a tribe of American +Indians were once asked what they thought of "mutilations" occurring on +their reservation, they replied simply, "The star people know what they +are doing, and should be trusted." + Before continuing to speculate about the motivations of UFO occupants, +we have to ask ourselves, is it possible to understand what EBE's are and +what they are doing if we don't know what human beings are? + Consider, if you will, that the true nature of man is a "life force" +or mind (often referred to as a "soul") encapsulated in a physical body. +Could the human mind itself be the creation of a higher evolutionary level +(the EBE's)? Could the human mind be a perennial that experiences +successive seasons of growth on a planet's surface just as a perennial +plant experiences seasons of growth in a garden? + In this context, reincarnation is not a religious concept. It is +merely one way of describing how a mental being (man) can experience +evolutionary growth and development by progressing through various +physical vehicles. + If this is the case, then nothing is lost when the physical body dies. +The "life force" or mind is not destroyed, but merely transferred to +another body, or possibly somehow put in storage. + Many close encounter records indicate that the EBE's, although aware +that nothing is lost when the human body is destroyed, are reluctant to +destroy a human body,even though they have done so in certain +circumstances. Ironically, although most humans regard the physical body +as a person's totality, we are inclined to destroy each other senselessly, +and wantonly. + UFO occupants seem to understand far more than we do about the +difference between mind and body, and how to work with both, separately or +together. It appears that they can extract the consciousness (mind, soul) +of a person from the body which is housing that consciousness. In +addition to the numerous accounts of physical "abductions", UFO literature +is filled with incidents where humans reportedly experience being taken +outside of their physical bodies. + In addition, some humans feel they have encountered the same UFO +occupant on different occasions, even though the individual they +"recognize" has a totally different appearance. This could suggest that +the EBE's can also transfer their own consciousness or mind from one body +to another, like changing clothes. + We can see that the variety of UFO occupant types may not necessarily +represent different species from different galaxies. The various +vehicular types may simply show different levels of development. It seems +likely that the more advanced minds of this highly evolved level are the +ones in the more advanced bodies.. + UFO occupants who appear to be in human form, including the so-called +"Nordics," may in fact be advanced humans from other productive gardens +(planets) who have been allowed to work with the EBE's, even though they +haven't yet advanced enough to earn more evolved vehicles. The presence +of such individuals may come in very handy at times, as in the famous +Travis Walton case where a large human-looking occupant was able to +restore calm to Walton. + John Lear states that UFO researcher William Moore has a videotape +containing an interview with a colonel connected to MJ-12. The colonel +says that the EBE's claim to have created Christ. Once again, Lear draws +a negative conclusion from this, speculating that the claim "could be an +effort to disrupt traditional values for undetermined reasons." +(Lear.txt) + But what if the claim is true? If the primary concern of EBE's is the +cultivation and nurturing of human minds, then isn't it conceivable that +Jesus could have been one of them in human "clothing"? Considering recent +evidence that human mothers have been artificially inseminated by +extraterrestrials to produce hybrids, isn't this a possible explanation +for Jesus' alleged virgin birth? Wouldn't such a hybrid vehicle have +given him a greater capacity to stay in touch with his "father," and even +perform what humans would see as "miracles"? + Consider that the Bible, divested of its traditional religious +interpretation, may actually be a record of close encounters. According +to this record, the extraterrestrials apparently worked closely with the +ancient Israelites and saved them from the terrestrial power of the +Egyptians. But the EBE's didn't hesitate to wipe out thousands of the +Israelites when they were disobedient. If you see this in the light of +the EBE's trying to teach humans how to become more refined and more +evolved, the first step being simple disciplines and leaving a strong +impression on human minds, it's food for thought. Only human bodies were +lost, not minds. It also puts Lear's alleged altercation between humans +and EBE's at the Dulce underground base in a different light. + Maybe we should be asking: Are we growing in the right way? How +should we conduct ourselves in the presence of these individuals and how +should we conduct ourselves with each other? What do we have to gain by +treating EBE's as hostile invaders? What is the real purpose of these +visitations? Since we seem to be far less advanced, maybe the only way we +can gain is by concluding they are here for our benefit. + + + J.S. + April 1988 + + \ No newline at end of file
