AS 1989 COMES TO A VERY QUICK END, IT HAS BEEN A +YEAR OF COUNTLESS SURPRISES AND FLAPS INVOLVING UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS +AROUND THE WORLD. AND THE COMING YEAR WILL PROBABLY PROVIDE MORE OF THE SAME, +ALONG WITH SOME UNFORESEEN DEVELOPMENTS. THE BIGGEST RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE +UFO FIELD INVOLVES THE WORK OF TONY GONZALES IN REGARD TO THE B-2 BOMBER, "THE +AMERICAN MADE UFO." + +AS AN END TO THE 1989 VERSION OF THE SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA UFO GROUP NEWSLETTER, +I AM PROVIDING SOME EXCERTS FROM GANZALES' MOST RECENT PAPER. IT INCLUDES SOME +MOST REVEALING COMMENTS FROM A CONVERSTAION HE HAD RECENTLY WITH WALT ANDRUS, +THE INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR FOR THE MUTUAL UFO NETWORK. + + + THE B-2, THE REAL STORY + + Tony Gonsalves, East Providence, RI. + + I have ALWAYS believed we got the technology from RECOVERED UFOs THAT HAVE +CRASHED! More specifically, I have believed all along that the ROSWELL, NEW +MEXICO UFO was the primary source of the technology. This crash (and subse- +quent recovery by the military) is the one most famous and well known to the +most UFO investigators. It is one case where numerous key people have come for- +ward with their testimony that they themselves participated in the recovery +(and subsequent cover-up) of this particular UFO. These events occured in 1947. + Also, I have believed all along the way that there was a DIRECT LINK be- +tween the YB-49 Flying Wing of 1948-1952 and the Roswell UFO. Coming this dir- +ection in time, I have believed there exists a DIRECT LINK between the YB-49 +and the B-2 Bomber (Hudson Valley version). In order, the sequence went: +Roswell UFO, YB-49, HUDSON VALLEY UFO/B-2. + My thoughts seemed to flow, at least according to what little information +I had to go on, in a way that seemed consistently logical. I felt that the +YB-49 was a `radical' departure in aircraft design that followed closely a +`radical' event (the Roswell recovery). Also, I couldn't help but notice, that +geographically, they BOTH occured pretty close to one another! Then, I found +it STRANGE that in 1952 the Air Force ordered ALL YB-49's destroyed because, +they claimed, the aircraft was unsafe. That seemed to be a VERY radical order! +My experience has taught me that the military just DOESN'T do things like that- +not normally. What they usually do is park the experimental planes behind some +hangar or put them in moth balls or even air museums-but NOT order them ALL +destroyed! Their thinking, usually, is that they may want to retrieve parts for +`other' experimental planes, or wan the planes for future study, or even to re- +activate the program at a later date. But NO, in the case of the YB-49, ALL THE +PLANES WERE ORDERED DESTROYED! + I got to thinking, "Why would they do this?" Then I came across an `uncanny' +coincidence-one too remarkable to dismiss! I noticed that the YB-49 had the +IDENTICAL WINGSPAN as the B-2 STEALTH BOMBER-AND BOTH WERE FLYING WINGS! It was +at this time, many months agao, that I created a possible scenario that had a +logical and smooth continuity (at least in my way of thinking). I figured that +the YB-49 was a `test plane' for the recovered Roswell UFO technology. This +seemed to be supported by the fact that during the life-span of the YB-49 +(1948-1952) there were numerous west coast reports of `boomerang shaped' UFO's. +I felt certain we acquired the `gross' technology (as a friend recently put it) +back then, but lacked the `computer' technology to literally `fly' the sys- +tem. In other words, our computers, at that time, were far too big to ever con- +sider getting them aboard a plane. Surely, it seemed, the necessary computer +could possibly exceed the YB-49 (in size) by as much as ten-fold. So then it +seemed the Air Force probably HAD to fly their new found technology `by the +seat of their pants' with NO computers! Thus they found the YB-49 to be `UN- +SAFE'! The next logical conclusion I came to was that, in the 1970's, computer +technology had not only become very sophisticated, but also the computers be- +came compacted into small enough sizes to fit planes with NO difficulty at all. +This, I hypothesized, caused the Air Force to reactivate their `flying wing'- +but THIS time with the benefit of `refined' computer technology. It seemed that +OUR technology had `caught-up' with the UFO TECHNOLOGY! THUS THE HUDSON VALLEY +B-2/UFO WAS BORN-PROBABLY IN THE MID 1970'S! + I telephoned Mr. Andrus (Walt Andrus is the director of the Texas based +Mutual UFO Network aka MUFON.- BB) to bring him up to date on this project and +some of my tentative plans for the upcoming months. Things have been happening +so fast that I felt a phone call was the fastest way to get the information to +him. + I started to tell him about the `new evidence' that I had concerneing a +`direct link' between the Hudson Valley UFO and the B-2 Stealth Bomber. He in- +terrupted me to tell me that "he was CERTAIN THAT THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO WAS +NOT A B-2 BOMBER because the B-2 has JET ENGINES and it is NOT a UFO! I tried +desperately to get him to understand that I wasn't trying to say the Hudson +Valley UFO was `jet' powered-but that I was trying to say IT IS IN FACT, A B-2 +OF A DIFFERENT KIND-WITH SOME OTHER KIND OF POWER! He countered with his CER- +TAINTY that it is NOT ANY KIND OF B-2 THAT EYEWITNESSES HAVE BEEN SEEING-THAT +I8T WAS IMPOSSIBLE! He then asked me what I thought the Hudson Valley UFO had +for power. I told him I DID NOT KNOW AND DID NOT CARE TO SPECULATE-that I would +leave that for other to determine-perhaps from his organization. I mentioned +that whatever powered the Roswell New Mexico UFO was probably the same as what- +ever THIS one has for power. AGAIN he voiced his REFUSAL TO TAKE SERIOUS WHAT +HE CALLED A `CRAZY' NOTION LIKE THAT! + I sighted the numerous eye-witnesses that are ALL claiming that they are +SEEING FIRST HAND what they are CERTAIN IS A B-2 - BUT NOT A JET POWERED B-2! +I sighted what my most recent caller - a woman - had reported seeing 6 weeks +ago. He then said something that put me in shock! Mr. Andrus said, "YOU'RE +HEARING ALL THIS B-2 NONSENSE FROM A WOMAN AND WHAT DO WOMEN KNOW ABOUT AIR- +PLANES?" + I then said, "Walt, there are THOUSANDS of people seeing this thing and +describing EXACTLY what a B-2 looks like. Surely you can't ignore all these +people-especially when NEARLY ALL eye-witnesses (since the introduction of +the B-2) are claiming they are CERTAIN they are seeing a B-2!" He asked me to +give hime examples as to where and by whom. I then sighted western Connecticut, +Hudson Valley, Wytheville, Virginia and Ohio. I sighted Mr. Dan Gordon the News +& Sports Director for station WYVE in Wytheville who was recently written up in +OMNI Magazine for his belief that he, and about 3,000 other people in his area +have seen what they believe to be a B-2 (not jet powered) flying around there +for the past few years. Mr. Andrus then made another statement I feel is down- +right despicable. He said, "THEY'RE A BUNCH OF HICKS AND FARMERS IN WYTHEVILLE, +WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY KNOW ABOUT WHAT AN AIRPLANE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!" + I sighted to Mr. Andrus that another organization, The J. Allen Hynek Cen- +ter for UFO Studies,(CUFOS - Chicago, IL.- BB) was starting, becuase of mount- +ing evidence, to lean toward my position and asked why HIS organization could- +not at least take an OPEN position on the matter. He said to me, "WHO IN THAT +ORGANIZATION KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT UFOS?" My response to Mr. Andrus was that I +would not allow him to draw me into `organizational politics'. + I tried desperately to get Mr. Andrus to listen to reason and to at least +have an open mind to this matter because I had spoken directly to many of these +people and that THEY ARE NOT BLIND OR CRAZY!" + +End of Gonsalves report. + +THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

He said similiar sightings have been +reported in Hudson Valley, NY and Fyffe, Ala. + "I believe there's a secret government aircraft flying around that the pub- +lic hasn't been advised about," he said. + Gonsalves is not talking about the Stealth aircraft that was rolled out for +public view in 1988, one of six that reportedly have been built. Those would +make noise, he said, and the boomerang-shaped aircraft spotted across the +country in recent years have been silent. + Referring to a recent debate on what happened to $22 billion of the money +allocated to developing an airplane that can avoid radar detection, he said: +"I don't think it (the money) disappeared at all. I think they built some air- +planes." + He suggests that the money went into Stealth craft powered by "UFO technol- +ogy" - in his view, some sort of antigravity field generated by nuclear energy. + "Now where did they get it (the technology)? That's another story, but in +my opinion, they have it." he said. + One possible source, he said, would be a crashed saucer that the government +recovered and kept secret. + "I am a firm believer that this planet is being visited by aliens. I think +they've been coming here for a long time," he said. + Whether they agreed with him on that, at least five of about 75 people at- +tending his talk at Wytheville Community College agreed that the Stealth shape +is what they saw. + What convinced the group was a quarter-sized model of the aircraft, built by +Gonsalves, based on what data has been released about the secret plane. + Using his experience as a jet mechanic on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, Gon- +salves said he placed lights on his 4 foot model in a pattern that would be +logical for landing purposes or illuminate the ground for a low flying, slow- +moving plane. + Gonsalves said he came to Wytheville to talk with people who might have seen +an experimental Stealth aircraft.

Investigative. + ******************************************************** + +UFOS MAY HAVE BEEN B-2 STEALTH BOMBERS by Michael Hawks News Editor +(No credit given to newspaper) + + Tony Gonsalves lacked one point of being certified a genius by Mensa, but +he more than made up for that one point with creativity as he proposed a so- +lution for somew of the UFOs that have been seen in Wythe County starting in +the fall of 1988. Gonsalves, a Rhode Island businessman and former Navy jet +mechanic with an interest in parapsychology, addressed a UFO conference at +Wytheville Community College Saturday night. + Gonsalves thinks some of the sightings were of a B-2 stealth bomber, but +not the jet powered stealth bomber the military has unveiled. + First he connected the sightings in Wythe County with the sighting of a fly- +ing wing, or boomerang, seen regularly hoovering over Hudson Valley, N.Y. for +about eigth and a half years now. + Then he differentiated between these crafts and traditional UFOs, which Gon- +salves believes have been visiting earth regularly. Traditional UFOs are small +circular, oval, triangular or cigar-shaped objects. There are landing traces +such as a burnt spots or dents on the ground. The cockpits or control areas are +lighted and visible. Moreover, traditional UFOs are high performance craft, +capable of incredible speed, stopping abruptly and turning at right angles. +They also avoid contact with large groups of humans. + The craft over Hudson Valley, N. Y. broke all theese rules. It was big, +wing-shaped and slow. There wqere not traces of it landing and no one reported +seeing a cockpit. It was also seen on a regular basis by several eyewitnesses +with the most sightings being reported on Thursday. + Then Gonsalves went on to describe the B-2 stealth bomber as it was unveiled +in the late 1988. It was a 180-ton aircraft measuring 69 feet from nose to tail +and having a 172-foot wingspan. + It is a boomerang-shaped palne with a small fuselage and large wings power- +ed by four jets capable of producing 19,00 pounds of thrust. It is made of car- +bon fiber composite that doesn't reflect radar waves, thereby rendering it hard +to detect by radar. + When the stealth bomber was unveiled, there were somethings that bothered +Gonsalves about the plane, given his knowledge of aircraft as a jet mechanic. + First and foremost was the absence of a vertical stabilizer, which performs +like a feather on the back of an arrow to keep forward-flying aircraft fyling +straight. Gonsalves said some people had speculated that the plane was stabi- +lized by continuous thrusts of air, but he thought this was going to a lot of +trouble to eliminate vertical stabilizers, which have never been a problem in +the first place. + A second thing that bothered Gonsalves was the lack of stealthiness of the +aircraft unveiled by the military. Even though the stealth bomber is hard to +detect by radar, a jet engine capable of 19,000 pounds of thrust emits a lot +of noise, heat and exhaust, all things that give away the position of the air- +craft. When some people speculated there was a special method of cooling the +exhaust, Gonsalves said he could not understand how this could be done since +heat is an integral part of the equation that drives jet engines. + The only way that Gonsalves could reconcile these doubts was to come up with +an alternative aircraft, an aircraft that is not a jet but is instead powered +by some other power source, possibly by an atomic reactor; an aircraft that has +been in existence for at least eight and a half years. + He thinks this power source may have been discovered when a UFO reportedly +crashed near Roswell, N.M. in the 1940s, but only recently have computers be- +come sophisticated enough to adequately control this power source and allow the +military to implement it on aircraft. To support this theory, he said the use +of the code word "Blue" which has traditionally been used by the military to +describe matters concerning UFOs, is used frequently in the development of +stealth aircraft. The stealth fighter program was code named "Have Blue" and +one of the models of the stealth bomber was called "Tacit Blue." + Several eyewitnesses have noticed "dents" on the underside of the crafts, a +larger dent situated in front of a smaller one. Gonsalves speculated that the +larger dent was the main power plant that kept the craft aloft and the smaller +one was the power plant that propelled the craft in different directions. + This theory would explain the behavior of the craft, its ability to hoover +and pivot in any direction. It also explains the absence of a vertical stabi- +lizer on a hoovering aircraft would cause the craft either to spin around like +a weathervane or go nose up into the wind. This theory also accounts for the +silence of the craft. + Gonsalves also demonstrated with a model the lights that such a craft would +need around its leading edge and on its underbelly to operate and how it might +appear like something out of "Encounters of The Third Kind" when all its lights +are on. + Gonsalves speculated the reason that the military unveiled the jet stealth +bomber was to ostensibly bring the project out into the open so Congress would +fund the program while keeping the real stealth bomber, the one having the al- +ternate power source, under wraps. + +END + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The most +frequently used system for classifying UFO reports is the system developed by +J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, a famous astronomer and UFO +debunker for the Air Force, who later became a believer and founded the Center +for UFO Studies in Chicago. His system, which later gave rise to a famous +movie title, is summarized below. + +*** + +UFO reports are divided into two major groups: Long-Range Sightings (LRS), +which occur at 500' or more from the witness, and Close Encounters (CE), which +occur at a range of less than 500'. + +Long Range Sightings are further broken down as follows: + +Nocturnal Lights (LRS-NL). By far the most common type of sighting. Basically +lights in the sky, most can be explained as bright planets or aircraft with +unfamiliar lighting arrangements. Most. + +Daylight Disks (LRS-DD), which may or may not be disk shaped. This category +includes any sighting in which an object's rough shape can be made out, such +as cigars, triangles, teardrops, etc. + +In addition, there are the Radar/Visuals, in which an object seen by a ground +or air observer is independently tracked on ATC or military radar. + +*** + +Close Encounters are further broken down as follows: + +Close Encounters of the First Kind (CE-I). Mere sighting of Object. + +Close Encounters of the Second Kind (CE-II). Object interacts with environment +in some manner. This can include ground traces such as scorch marks and +circular depressions, radiation anomalies, animal excitement, photographs, and +the intriguing electromagnetic (EM) effects. + +Close Encounters of the Third Kind (CE-III). Sighting of entities associated +with object. + +Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind (CE-IV). This category was added after +Hynek's death, to include instances of contact between percipient and entity, +whether physical, verbal, telepathic, or otherwise.

FILE: UFO2193 + + + + During the 1970s the BBC, on their SCIENCE show, screened a film +called Alternative 3. + + This film was about a small team of researchers who initially +decided to interview some of the British scientists who took up +residence and work overseas during the great "Brain Drain". + + They found to their surprise that many of the scientists had +'disappeared'. Relatives in the UK were still recieving mail, but from +non-existent addresses. + + A remarkable series of events led to a team of researchers to +uncover a massive conspiracy - one involving an elite cabal of +behind-the-scenes power brokers, and the use of a technology which +would seem science fiction to us. + + The resources available to this elite group appeared to be +unlimited, and the brain drain obviously gave them access to top +scientists needed on secret projects. + + This group had discovered that the Earth was about to overheat +through what was termed "The Greenhouse Effect", and they sort +solutions to the problem. + + Their first idea was to punch 'holes' in the atmosphere layers at +strategic spots, so as to let the 'heat' out. + + The second idea was to create a super-underground city, where the +chosen few could live out the Earth's transition above, in the safety +of being miles underground. + + Finally, they decided on the third alternative, hence the name +"Alternative Three". + + This was to set up a whole new civilisation on another planet. By +this stage the secret cabal had perfected anti-gravity and +faster-than-light technology, so there wasn't much stopping them. + + Mars was the chosen planet, with the dark side of the Moon being +their base for the project. + + Large numbers of people were literally kidnapped, and through the +use of mind control technology were made into mindless 'zombie' +workers if they did not co-operate willingly. + + Thus we have a secret base on the dark side of the moon, an elite +group of conspirators manipulating the world governments to their +whim, the use of super hi-tech technology, a greenhouse effect, mind +control technology and an eager team of gallant researchers piecing it +together. + + The minor detail of Mars not having an atmosphere was overcome by +detonating a series of nuclear bombs over the surface of the planet. +This liberated the gasses trapped in the soil, which in turn formed a +breathable atmosphere. + + The film winds up after showing this, with the crucial evidence: a +piece of video tape smuggled out of the moon base, which showed +Russian and US astronauts first testing the newly breathable Martian +atmosphere. The date announced on the secret video tape was May 22, +1965. + + The reaction from the British public to 'Alternative 3' was + enormous! + + Many people believed it outright and demanded it to be re-run, and +many thought it outright rubbish. + + The book, 'Alternative 3', was published by Sphere Books, UK, in +1978, and also proved to be extremely popular. + + For some reason there were few, if any, reprints , which is +suprising considering the pre-publicity. + + Today the book is out of print, and a few pirate copies, albeit +shoddy quality, of the original 'Science Report' programme pop up from +time to time. + + + This following article was taken from the 'Windwords' newsletter +(address not available). + + +*In our June issue, we told you about the controversial book +'Alternative 3', by author Leslie Watkins. In our attempt to find out +if the shocking theories in the book were true , we called Avon Books, +the American publisher; they said the book was out of prints in the +States. + +*We called Penguin Books in London and found that it was listed on +their non-fiction list. A senior editor there told us that it was +officially classified as FICTION BASED ON FACT. + +*The author's agent told us it was most definately fiction. + +*We wrote to the author himself to try to get the real story, and +here is the letter he sent us: + + + "Dear Ms Dittrich, + + Thank you for your letter, which reached me today. Naturally, I +am delighted by your interest in 'Alternative 3' and by the fact that +you plan to sell it in the Windwords bookstore. I will certainly +cooperate in any way I can. + + The correct description of 'Alternative 3' was given by the +representative from Penguin Books. The book is based on fact, but uses +that fact as a launch pad for a HIGH DIVE INTO FICTION. + + In answer to your specific questions: + + (1) There is no Astronaut named Grodin. + + (2) There is no Sceptre Television, and the reported Benson is also + fictional. + + (3) There is no Dr Gerstein. + + (4) Yes, a 'documentary' was televised in June 1977 on Anglia + Television, which went out to the entire national network in + Britain. It was called 'Alternative 3' and was written by David + Ambrose and produced by Christopher Miles (whose names were on + the book for contractual reasons). This original TV version, + which I EXPANDED IMMENSELY for the book,was ACTUALLY A HOAX which + had been scheduled for transmission on April Fools' Day. Because + of certain problems finding the right network slot, the + transmission was delayed. + + The TV program did cause a tremendous uproar because viewers +refused to believe it was fiction! I initially took the view that the +basic premise was so way out, particularly the way I aimed to present +it in the book, that no one would regard it as non-fiction. +Immediately after publication, I realised I was totally wrong. In +fact, the amazing mountains of letters from virtually all parts of the +world - including vast numbers from highly intelligent people in +positions of responsibility - convinced me that I had ACCIDENTALLY +trespassed into a range of top-secret truths. + + Documentary evidence provided by many of these correspondents +decided me to write a serious and COMPLETELY NON - FICTION sequel. +Unfortunately, a chest containing the bulk of the letters was among +the items which were mysteriously LOST IN TRANSIT some four years ago +when I moved from London, England, to Sydney, Australia, before I +moved on to settle in New Zealand. + + For some time after 'Alternative 3' was originally published, I +have reason to suppose that my home telephone was being tapped and my +contacts, who were experienced in such matters, were convinced that +certain intelligence agencies considered that I probably knew too +much. + + So, summing up, the book is FICTION BASED ON FACT. But I now feel +that I inadvertently got VERY CLOSE TO A SECRET TRUTH. I hope this is +of some help to you and I look forward to hearing from you again. + + + With best wishes + Leslie Watkins " + + +(Source: Placed in the public domain from VANGARD SCIENCES archives on +October 28, 1989.

That's right, here you are Saturday night with +me and me of course being Don Ecker. The show is "UFOs Tonite" and +you are listening to the "Cable Radio Network." Well, every week as +you know, we talk about one of mankinds' most misunderstood yet +mysterious phenomenon ever and that of course is UFOs. Well, you +know, a couple of months ago I was privileged to have an individual +in here join us for the first time, and he spoke for the very first +time publicly anywhere about his fascination, interest and study of +this subject. And if you were tuning in you probably heard that pro- +gram and it was a delight, and of course I'm talking about Mr. Dwight +Schultz, star of screen and television. Starring in such programs as +the "A Team", "Star Trek the Next Generation" and just a whole list +of too many to go on. Well, tonight Dwight is once again joining us +in studio, and we are going to be talking about something that we +haven't done a lot of as far as I'm concerned. You know, each week I +talk about and with people that are some of the top researchers, the +best known researchers anywhere available today, especially here in +the United States. Well, I haven't too often talked about my person- +al research and of course that's one of the things that I do do, and +recently on two out of state trips here Dwight was involved with this +research with me. And Dwight, I want to thank you for joining us in +studio, and not only are we going to be talking about the research +that we were involved in...[laughs] But one of the most well known +UFO cases around...Roswell. And ladies and gentlemen, he's had us +cracking up in here for fifteen minutes before the show. [Dwight is +snoring in the background] Dwight, are you awake? Hello! + +Dwight:[JOKINGLY-French accent> What? I'm sorry. I'm Valerie LeMont. +I'm a PHD in Vanilla. I'm here to check your pants. Who is this? +Come now is this a joke?] Don, you said, "do do." +[Don and Dwight are cracking up] + +Don: Did I say do do? + +Dwight: Yes you did. You said, "do do" Don. + +Don: [still cracking up] And if you'd like to join tonights conversa- +tion... + +Dwight: [laughs] Thank you, Don. + +Don: You can reach us by calling 818-352-7152 or 1-800-336-2225. + +Dwight: I have to say hello to my wife Wendy and my daughter Ava. + +Don: Are they out there listening? + +Dwight: Yes, and I know my daughter is going to be going to bed to +bed here in a few minutes. So I just wanted to say hello and good +night sweetheart, to you too my darling wife, but I don't want you to +go to sleep until the show is over. + +Don: Well, this is a family show, you know? + +Dwight: Yes, it is, it certainly is, in my house it is. We wear +large fluorescent bulbs on our heads, sit around in the dark and lis- +ten to the show every Saturday night. That's practically the truth, +ladies and gentlemen. I am addicted to this show. +Don: You would not believe how many people have told me how upset +they are because I ruined their Saturday nights. + +Dwight: Well, it's true, it used to be Sunday. + +Don: Yeah, it used to be Sunday nights, of course nobody cared be- +cause they had to go to work Monday, but now they can't go out and +party like they used to. + +Dwight: That's exactly right. + +Don: Roswell, what a case. And we were talking about that before the +show tonight. We were talking about aspects of the Roswell case, and +our trip that we took down there recently. + +Dwight: Yes, indeed. We both went the same time. First time in our +lives. First time for you, right? + +Don: Yeah, it was the first time. + +Dwight: First time for me and it was quite an experience. We could- +n't get out because of the airline. They take you in there, and they +fly you in a beanie with a propeller on it. [laughs] + +Don: [laughs] That's true, that's true! Two days we were stuck there, +two days we were stuck there. + +Dwight: I have to get closer to the microphone. I've just been given +the note. + +Don: [laughs] Well, let me say the airline too, that we flew in on +and then flew out...Mesa. Promised, I was gonna give them a heck of +a plug. If you ever have to go to New Mexico, hitch hike don't fly, +don't fly. + +Dwight: Yes, but it was, it was an extraordinary experience and is +the word synchronizity(sp) or serendipity, things happened there that +neither Don nor myself expected to happen. + +Don: Was this the first time that you were ever involved in an actual +field investigation? + +Dwight: Yes, this was my very first time. This is the first time +that I went with any, went with anybody who knew anything about this +to actually investigate some strange phenomenon. + +Don: And that was a current ongoing flap that's still going on down +there. + +Dwight: Yes, Jose Escamilla. And I was baptized with Mr.Ecker. + +Don: [laughs-clears throat] Yes, in more ways than one, I might add. + +Dwight: Yes, in more ways than one. + +Don: If you by any chance you caught the "Hardcopy" program, there +was a segment on...well, a week ago Friday about this particular... +some of this footage. This guy who originally had been living here +in the Los Angeles area, originally from Roswell, moved back after +the earthquake, but they have had a ongoing series of sightings of +unusual objects, they aren't the only people. And while this is all +going on there is also at this point a huge air force operation that +is ongoing called "Operation Rolling Sand." And now whether these +"unidentifieds" are a part of the military operation, that's always +possible knowing, you know, or having at least some kind of idea of +what todays technology is, but whether it may be that or perhaps the +phenomenon is there because the military is there. Roswell, fifty +years ago of course, that area, I shouldn't say Roswell itself, but +that area of New Mexico there was a tremendous amount going on in the +military, the sciences. That's the general location where the "A +bomb" was developed and tested. The military had brought back a lot +of captured German "V2 rockets" that they were testing. There was +"experimental radar testing" going on, and that's of course when the +incident, the 1947 incident happened. + +Dwight: Well, it's more than that to. It is the sense of history can +be very imposing when you arrive there and you realize that some- +thing was supposed to have taken place almost fifty years ago. Some- +thing that maybe changed the world, maybe didn't, we don't know, the +government supposedly knows. You don't know what's going to happen. +You somehow, you somehow feel like you're a part of something, but +everyone in that town talks about it. It's still alive there and it +isn't just a question of well, you know, we're telling, we're telling +tales here for the tourists because it is not a tourist town. + +Don : No, you've got to work to get there. + +Dwight: You've got to work very hard to get there. It's very iso- +lated and a lot of people will tell you how difficult it is to even +get food there. But everyone talks about this incident and everyone +has a story to tell and they all seem to be in the direction of it +really happened, it's not a joke. People don't laugh about it, they +don't joke about it, they kind of look...And sometimes you'll find +people not interested, they don't really want to come out and talk +about it, but they will. No one laughs at this, this is not a joke, +it's real, and it's a very strange feeling down there. + +Don: It permeates our entire culture now. Not only is there the film +coming out the end of this summer sometime between July and August, +at this point that's what we hear. Even last night on Fox television +program "X-Files"...Roswell, the Roswell incident was mentioned. You +know, tonight what I would really like to do because I really want to +go into this case in some depth. I would love to hear from all of +you skeptics, the skeptical side that is out there. Now, I'm not +talking about mindless debunking, although we can deal with that too, +but I'm talking about people that genuinely are skeptical about the +idea of unidentified flying objects number one, and number two what +in fact these objects may be or represent. You know, when we talk +about UFOs we're talking about "not spaceships" as many people auto- +matically assume. We're talking about something that is uniden- +tified, apparently is manufactured and is flying around demonstrat- +ing physics we don't normally attribute. + +Dwight: But Don, I do want to say one thing here to. To make it very +clear that we went to Roswell to investigate current phenomenon. +Something that is going on down there at this particular moment, but +what happened was that we were drawn into an event that...the event +that took place almost fifty years ago in an almost unbelievable +series of coincidences, and that is where I understood the madness of +UFO investigators because you seem to be chasing the magic tail of +the rabbit that you just see behind every corner and as you reach for +the tail it's gone and around another corner. + +Don: And that's something that we're going to be discussing tonight +also. An unbelievable incident that happened that...it seemed to +come out of the "Twilight Zone." + +Dwight: It certainly was... + +Don: Rod Sterling would have been right at home there. + +Dwight: Yes indeed. + +Don: My guest this evening joining me in studio is Mr. Dwight Schultz +a very good personal friend of mine and a star of screen and stage, +and a gentleman that for the very first time right here at "UFOs +Tonite" just several months ago broached his very deep interest in +this subject publicly for the first time, which took a lot of courage +because there are many people out there that don't look kindly on +people with this interest and that's something else I would like to +address tonight later about the "new religion" that we are dealing +with. The new religion of course being "science" and their very +rigid ways of looking at certain things in our culture. It's some- +thing that we have to deal with and it's something that we should +address. + +Don: Dwight, let's talk about the history of this to begin with. When +we're talking about Roswell, a lot of people think that this is where +it all started...Roswell, New Mexico, that's not true. The phenomenon +goes back many thousands of years, but as far as contemporary times +it started in the second world war. + +Dwight: "Foo Fighters." + +Don: Foo fighters. Now you weren't around then, I wasn't around then, +but... + +Dwight: Almost, not quite. + +Don: Did...when you were growing up did you hear anything about that +as you were a young man? + +Dwight: No, I didn't hear anything about...about the real sightings +of unidentified flying objects. I didn't even...I think it was '52 +that was the big flap in DC? + +Don: Yes. + +Dwight: Yes, I didn't even hear anything about that. It was motion +pictures that brought me to UFOs. I think the first film that I re- +member was "The Day The Earth Stood Still." + +Don: Oh, Robert Wise(sp)...tremendous film. + +Dwight: Yes, Michael Reny(sp) and "Gort the Robot" but yes I was not +aware of the truth, it was all a fiction. It wasn't until I actually +started to read and I would read in the newspaper accounts when I was +in grade school of people really seeing these things, and periodical- +ly there would be a radio program. + +Don: Well, now you have told me you heard many of these programs back +in those days, and I unfortunately did not. + +Dwight: Yes, I saw the "Armstrong Circle Theatre" 'cause my parents +watched. I saw the "Keyhoe" program and I wish that I could remember +it, but I have a vague vague memory of it as a child back in '58, and +I remembered the sound going off, and my father talking about it, and +the "big hubbub" the following day and what was...that there was a +government coverup. So, that is in my psyche from 1958. And... + +Don: That's not something we heard a lot of in those days, is it... +coverups? + +Dwight: No, no not at all, but it was in the papers the following day +after that show. + +Don: And that of course was when Major Donald Keyhoe was censored on +the air live when he was trying to break away from the script that he +was following to basically say that there were people in the congress +that was interested in holding hearings on UFOs. + +Dwight: Yes, and I have a vague memory of him being trashed for the +next seven, eight, nine, ten years because I wasn't actively involved +in this field. I just remember him vaguely being trashed. Then as I +started to, started to go to high school. I was the proud owner of a +seven transistor Japanese radio. I think it actually was American, +it was an RCA, and at night I would get the AM transmissions from New +York city. At night the signals would come in very strong from the +fifty thousand watt power houses..."WOR" in particular, and I'd lis- +ten to Barry Farber(sp) and Long John Nebel(sp) And these gentlemen, +Barry Farber, I remember...Ivan Sanderson(sp) frequently would cover +the subject of unidentified flying objects and the United States gov- +ernment and it's involvement in the subject, and Long John Nebel who +frequently had people with, with interest in the subject of UFOs on +his program and I would fall asleep. I don't think my parents knew, +but I would fall asleep late in the night. Sometimes I would stay up +until three o'clock, four o'clock in the morning 'cause his show was +from midnight, I believe until five. And that is where I developed +my interests, and that's where I also learned about the Vietnam war. + +Don: On Long John Nebel? + +Dwight: And Barry Farber in particular, listening to the debates on +those programs during the sixties, moving right along. So, I'm radio +educated, I listen to more radio than watch TV. + +Don: You know that's one of the wonderful things about this particu- +lar CRN network because not only is it a radio signal, but it's spe- +cifically for television. You know, where you can get them both to- +gether. We have many people around the country that are in fact +tuning in on satellite, it comes right in on their...well, as a mat- +ter of fact, you told me that you heard the show first on satellite. +[satcom C3, transponder 23, 7.23mhz narrow] + +Dwight: Yes, I had a dish in central California and I heard the show. + +Don: Well, during all these times Long John Nebel and Keyhoe made a +number of appearances on that and of course there were many others... +Frank Edwards(sp) was covering the UFO beat. Many of you people may +not recognize the name of Frank Edwards, but he was an extremely pop- +ular very well respected radio broadcaster in the 50s and 60s who had +written two books on UFOs...UFOs, I believe it was "Serious Business" +and I'm trying to think of...or "Flying Saucers Serious Business" and +I'm trying to think of the other book, but Edwards and all these +people...Edwards, Keyhoe none of them ever mentioned Roswell. And if +they talked about crashed UFOs they were talking about basically +Frank Sculley's(sp) book which was published... + +Dwight: About the Aztec... + +Don: No, 1950..."Behind The Flying Saucers" I believe...it's been too +long ago, but that book has been pretty much roundly trashed, but not +many heard of Roswell. What do you attribute that to? A successful +coverup? Because it was...it made world wide news just at the time +it happened. + +Dwight: Well, it certainly is...yes, I mean, I think this is the +great thing about libraries. You can go back and...I think that's... +wasn't the front page of the Roswell...wasn't that picked up in the +library? + +Don: Yes, the Roswell Daily News. + +Dwight: This story was very quickly killed, and I think now when you +look back and you see the history it's very clear that the government +was quick to step in and take this story right off the airwaves, and +consequently very few people knew about it, but with time the truth +does sort of leak out, and when people say that the government can't +keep a secret...well, to an extent they can continue to lie and say +no it didn't happen, but over three hundred people have come forward +to say it's not a secret anymore. So, in a sense they're right, they +can't keep a secret, and it's only been since the 70s that I've heard +the name that I've actually seen material written about it, and I... +and of course with the recent book of Randle and Schmitt's, "The +Truth About The UFO Crash At Roswell", it's all in perspective now, +and it's not a trashy book, it's not a silly book, it's not a stupid +book, it's a very well documented book that ties some very strange +stories together, and if we are to believe human beings, our com- +patriots, I think there's something here to be studied. + +Don: Roswell, when we were down there still a relatively small rural +town. No interstate highways close by. One small little airport +where the airplanes work sometimes and sometimes they don't. + +Dwight: No radar. + +Don: I wanted to mention that. Not one bit of commercial radar in +that area. We talked to several people about that too, and the citi- +zens down there want to know why they don't have radar at their air- +port, but the military in fact had radar. + +Dwight: But you have to say, it was the most incredible site because +when landed in this little plane, and there right next to the tower +was...were the camouflaged trucks and a few soldiers all wearing +their fatigues, and this little radar spining at the end, all mili- +tary. + +Don: And a lot of high tech jet aircraft flying around. + +Dwight: We saw stealth aircraft, we saw stealth aircraft...what are +they? I mean...we saw an amazing number... + +Don: Well, there were F16, F111-B tactical bombers, the F117 stealth. + +Dwight: We saw these flying not just... + +Don: Yes, yeah, yeah they were flying around, and of course the +flashes of light which were moving incredibly fast. Later checking +the videotape some of these appeared to be unidentified objects when +we slowed the tape down... + +Dwight: Well, your jumping ahead here. We went to the site where the +gentleman Jose Escamilla had said that he had taken these shots of +UFOs. We'd saw some videotape that had been given to Don by +"Hardcopy" and it was some amazing footage, and when you go down +there you don't know what to expect, and suddenly you jump into the +back of a car and this fellow is taking you to the spot and it's the +most...it's the strangest experience because it's a little dirt... +[laughs] + +Don: [laughs] Well, it's midway, it's midway between Roswell and some +other town. + +Dwight: And it's this little tiny...you don't want to call it a mini +mall ,but it could be called a mini mall in New Mexico, but it was +dusty and the people were very ordinary individuals and they just... +[hispanic accent> "Yeah, they're up there man, look at this!"] And +you want to say, I'm not really doing this, these people, this is a +joke. [Hispanic accent> "Just put your camera up there, just put your +camera up there man and you'll get 'em."] And your saying to your- +self, Oh please! I have been fooled, this is silly. [Hispanic accent> +"Just focus, focus on a plane, focus on anything that's up there and +they'll come, they'll come."] So, you really think you are being +silly and that's what happened, and sure enough suddenly there were +these flashes. I did not see them, but Don saw them, and I must tell +you I couldn't see the actual airplanes that were flying...I mean, my +eyes are not that good, but saw planes and I'm looking and looking +and I'm not seeing... + +Don: But you were looking through the viewfinder of the camcorder. + +Dwight: Yes, but they finally did come into view, so they really were +there, but these flashes that Don saw while the videotape was rolling +were real, and when we went back and checked the tape later concur- +rent with his scream, there's a flash, I see it. Were these...and +there's something flying around the planes very quickly, inexplic- +able...whether it was intelligently piloted craft, I can't tell you, +but I never seen anything quite like...So, there was something, some- +thing there going on, and we were only there for about two and a half +hours and there were... + +Don: Right, but at that time Jose Escamilla already had over a solid +one hundred hours of videotape that he and his brother had already +stood out there and shot. + +Dwight: And Hardcopy had also captured on their cameras inexplicable +objects, but at any rate you went there, we were there for two and +one half hours, and we caught something in that two and one half +hours. I don't know what it is. There's a lot of military activity, +these flashes of light, these objects "little globes" is what they +look like moving around changing directions at incredible speeds. I +don't know. I would love for someone to tell me what it was. + +Don: Well, Hardcopy only showed the most minute amount of that +videotape. You know, some of the things that we saw Dwight. One +where the white object that appears to have a dome on it... + +Dwight: Yes. + +Don: was hovering and something dropped down through the frame, that +gray blob or whatever the heck it was. Another one where a rod was +flying from cloud to cloud. There was another sequence where he had +what appeared to be a rod shaped craft and it looked like it had +several... + +Dwight: Globes on the bottom of it. + +Don: Right, globes on the bottom of it. What in the world that was +is anybodies, anybodies guess. + +Dwight: But again it's the difficult nature of this business. You're +sitting around saying, what is that, what is that? I don't know, I +don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen anything like that before +and so what you end up with is something that you don't know. But +it's not explainable, maybe it is, but no one in a position to ex- +plain it is taking anytime to explain it. + +Don: Well, you know, unlike the very recent Michigan sightings. The +Michigan sightings which were verified on their civilian commercial +radar. Roswell doesn't have that luxury. + +Dwight: That's right. + +Don: And that's the one thing that just really amazed me. Why did +they not have radar? I mean, they've had an airfield there since the +second world war at least. + +Dwight: Well, I don't know. I can't...we do know that they're trying +to get radar there. And you can being sufficiently paranoid as I am, +one can begin to think of reasons why they don't have radar, but +there maybe some explanation for it...why there's no civilian radar, +but there's certainly military radar. + +Don: And they also have two UFO museums. + +Dwight: Yes, this is the second part of the story folks. Don tell +'em. + +Don: Two UFO museums. + +Don: But you know, Dwight, speaking about Roswell, let's go back to +Roswell for just a moment. We were there. We were out at the sight +where the strange things were being seen. Then we decided to check +out the folks that are working in the UFO_biz there if you will at +the museums and low and behold as we walk in... + +Dwight: This was the UFO Enigma Museum. + +Don: The UFO Enigma Museum, which is run by Mr. John Price and their +research director is Clifford Stone, former guest of this program and +guy I have a lot of respect and fondness for. We go in there and +somebody that we'll call "Manny", because we can't use his real name +now, but ladies and gentlemen it was the most strange occurrence I +think that I've had happen to me personally in many years. John come +running out.... + +Dwight: Well, first of all you have to set the stage here. We have +gone into this museum, and we went there...it was empty. There was +nobody in it but the proprietor, we got there as soon as it opened. +As I said, it's not a tourist town, and all that you can see in this +other room, there's another room to the museum, and all I could see +were these legs and boots and a table and somebody was looking at a +big book, and that was the only other person in the museum. Go ahead. + +Don: Well, John Price the owner came running out, he saw me, recog- +nized me and we shook hands, I introduced Dwight, and the words out +of his mouth and I didn't know quite what to make of it, but he said, +Don, he said, "This gentleman just came in just before you guys got +here, I'm sitting back, I'm talking to him, I think you need to talk +to him". And I said, well why would I need to talk to him John? He +said, "Well, this old fellow claims that he was one of the MPs that +was here at the old Walker Air Base, the Roswell Army Air Base, and +he was one of the people guarding the crash site when this happened". +And I was stunned, I didn't know, and I said, well you know, has any- +body ever talked to this guy before? He said, "No, he literally came +in out of the blue". So, Dwight... we walk in, sit down, meet the +gentleman... we'll call him "Manny" for now, and what was your first +impressions? + +Dwight: [laughs] Well, he said something that was extraordinary, and +that was... and Jonathan Price said this under his breath to Don. I +was sitting off...I mean, I'm not an expert, I'm just trailing along +here having the experience, gritty experience of an UFO investigator +and Mr. Price walked up to Don and said, [whispering> "We got a gen- +tleman in here and he says he's got a piece of it, [Don laughs] says +he's got a piece of the saucer".] And of course I...[laughs] I mean, +who in fifty years has said they have a piece of it? I mean, I +haven't...I mean, I've heard tell that there is a piece of it. I +haven't actually...no one has yet formally come forward and said, hey +I've got a piece of it. And he was looking, the gentleman was look- +ing at what you would call a yearbook that the museum had put to- +gether..... + +Don: It was a unit history book. + +Dwight: Yes, a unit history book. And he was having trouble finding +himself. And I said, [skeptically> Ah, well there you go...here's +somebody who's come here for a little notoriety or whatever, he can't +find himself in the book, he's going to say that he was there, but he +just can't happen to find himself.] So, the gentleman wore glasses, +he was elderly, and he was various going from page to page, and he +said, "I can't find myself". And Don came in, Don sat down and +started talking to him, and then I started looking through the book. +And I just started looking for Manny's name and there it was, he had +missed it, he was there. + +Don: And not only was he there, but when he had gone down to this +museum, he had gone down thinking that there was going to be a re- +union of all his old buddies from the 509th at this particular time, +which didn't make any sense to us. + +Dwight: He said, "Reunion, I came here for a reunion, I saw it on the +TV, they were having a reunion, and they asked people to come". And +suddenly it became clear that "Showtime" had been publicizing...well, +first of all Randle and Schmitt held a press conference... + +Don: Right, in Roswell. + +Dwight: for their book, and Showtime had been publicizing their +movie, and the movie...the premise of the film is a reunion. And the +old man saw some PR for the book, heard the press release for the +book and the people promoting it saying, anybody who has any informa- +tion please come forward, and then he saw the promo for the movie +about a reunion, and he thought that that's what was going to occur. + + +Don: And it wasn't...he was wrong, but he came up anyway, and as we +found out the story even gets stranger. + +Don: So, we're down there, here's this old fellow we're calling +Manny. We find his...you find his photograph in the book, and he +brought along some...his marriage certificate to prove that he had +been married at the 509th by a certain officer, which we have copies +of that stuff, and then tell them what he said about his "little +men." This was one of the most fan...and it just literally came out +of nowhere. + +Dwight: Well, first he described everything that happened, that he +was there, that he saw it, and basically he retold the story in basic +terms that's been told many times now. And he said he carved the +"little men", he called them his "little men" he carved them and then +he said, with a glint in his eye, "Why would I do that, why would I +do that?"...he did say that. I said,[joking> For about twenty five +thousand dollars and a stint on a TV show, is that right?...no. He +said, "Why would I do that?" And he carved these "little men" and he +said his daughter and his son saw it and he had a piece of the +saucer. He said, he got the biggest piece and he took it out and he +said that his son knew where it was, it was in the attic. He said, +he put it there, and he told the story of how he was sent away from +Roswell to an island immediately after the retrieval and that they +never saw... anybody that was involved in the retrieval no one saw +each other again, they were all sent to different places and then he +was...it caused a disturbance in his family and that his wife peti- +tioned the base because she said she was going to kill herself and +kill her children if they didn't send him back and he eventually did +come back and then he went off to the Korean war. + +Don: And we saw his military records because we took a trip to where +this gentleman lives, which I'm not going to identify, but we took... + +Dwight: But he is legit... + +Don: The man is... + +Dwight: But he disappeared, first the story is he disappeared, he got +up and walked...he said "I'm leaving." He got up and walked out and +Don being very pensive and paranoid just kept saying, "Dwight, we +should have followed him, we should have taken him home with us, we +should have taken him back, we should have, we shoulda, shoulda, +woulda, coulda. And we didn't, we couldn't, weren't there for that +purpose, but yes, this is what happens you're taken, you're taken in +some other direction. + +Don: Well, you're in such a weird space. Do we believe this, do we +don't believe this? I mean... + +Dwight: But his picture was in the book, he was there! this man was +there and he was telling a story that personally effected him and his +family and he told of his son and his daughter. Well, we left and +came back to Los Angeles, and low and behold Don tries to get in con- +tact with this gentleman and finds out that the old man is missing, +and is talking to his daughter and his daughter says, "that he had +been missing for a week" and she was crying. And to make a long +story short, we directed them to where he might be, they found him, +they took him back. We talked to his son and his daughter and they +corroborated his story...that the old man had said he had a piece of +it, they called it the "rock", it just looked like a dull piece of +metal, but they called it the "rock" and old man had had it for years +and they just thought that his was a crazy old man, but many...they +all corroborated this, they all corroborated the story and everything +that he had said about being sent away and they just thought he was +an old man telling stories. And he... they made fun of him in fact +they laughed at him and now they... + +Don: But they were very pensive after we spoke to them, very pensive. + +Dwight: This is true ladies and gentlemen that the family felt sorry. +I mean, they were in a little bit of pain about how they had treated +their father all these years because they didn't believe him and now +there is... basically when his wife died all of his belongings were +somewhere left in this house somewhere, sold somewhere, crated away +and now there is a mad rush to look for this rock that they all saw +and now that they know is valuable and maybe important. So it's... + +Don: Perhaps. + +Dwight: It's a very very bizarre situation. How can you get so close +as to have somebody say I saw it and then to meet a family and say, +"yeah, we didn't believe it, we threw it out, it was a paperweight, +it was sitting on the TV." They're looking through photos of the TV, +looking for a picture of this thing, a paperweight which was a piece +perhaps, perhaps from a flying saucer or as I told Don, maybe it's a +'46 Chrysler, but we've got to find out. + +Don: Yes, it could be a 1946 Chrysler, think about that. + +Don: You saw what I got in the mail this week from Manny? + +Dwight: Yes, I did see that. + +Don: The fellow that we were talking about turned around and carved +several more of his little men to show us exactly what it was that he +carved back in '47, '48. + +Dwight: And it's right on the button folks. Not only that, he also +corroborated some other things which we have heard which have not +been published or not... I don't think they have been verified, but +he says that "they came back" and that "they came back looking for +the crashed saucer", and we actually heard that while we were down +there from someone else who is very knowledgeable. I mean, there is +no way of verifying that, but we had just heard this story prior to +the old man telling it and it also sent chills up my spine to hear +that because you were hearing another military, someone else in the +military telling part of the story that you hadn't heard before be- +cause he was one of the MPs who was guarding the site, and it was a +very strange experience. + +Don: If somebody would have told me that this was going to happen. I +would have said, the only way this could have happened is if it was +orchestrated, but yet this wasn't. + +Dwight: No, it was truly serendipitous and we were there and the +story may not be over yet, but if it is for this gentleman, he's +another verification, another eye witness to an incident that bog- +gles the mind. + +*********************** End of Transcript *************************** + +...

This paper will treat the latter of these. The + engine described here is suitable for either interstellar or + atmospheric travel. + + This engine is of a dual-mode design; it will optionally produce + either gravitons or tachyons. + + ENGINE DESIGN + + The engine or propulsion unit proper consists of six discrete + elements (see fig. 1). + + 1) the shield coil - required to protect the crew/inhabitants + of the ship from any harmful radiation. The shield + itself is a high-power electromagnet operating in a + steady state (DC). + + 2) the exciter coil is in reality an auto-transformer, + operating much like a 'Tesla coil', but at much higher + power levels, voltages, and frequency. Its purpose is + to excite the atomic structure of the core material + into production of either tachyons or gravitons (these + two events occur at different power levels and + frequencies). + + 3) This element is the 'pump', its operation is much like a + magnetic shock-tube. It will start and maintain + movement of particles from the core in the direction of + the exhaust. + + + Page 1 + + + + + + 4) The focusing element. Here the responsibility is to shape + the particle stream into something useful. This is the + element that can either make the basic unit an engine + or a weapon. + + 5) The core, is a stack of particle producers separated by + some insulating material. In a dual mode engine the + material for one kind of particle acts as an insulator + for the other. + + 6) Not shown in the figure is the control system, this is + normally a collection of high speed computers and high + energy power control circuits. + + + +--------------------------------------------+ + | a | + | +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----+ + | | b | c | | d | + | +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----+ + | | e | + | +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----+ + | | | | | | + | +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----+ + | | + +--------------------------------------------+ + + fig. 1 + + a.

This field + is required especially in interstellar propulsion; tachyons can be + very ionizing and therefore destructive. + + The magnetic shield can me made by using large gauge wire (low gauge + numbers) and winding many turns. + + The gage of the wire is important here, as it will determine the + amount of electrical current that the magnet can handle. + + If it is at all possible, the use of small diameter, insulated + copper tubing may be used. By pumping coolant through the magnet + larger fields may be generated. + + + Page 2 + + + + + + On the outside of the shield magnet a material such as 'mu-metal' or + some other magnetic shielding should be used, so as to further + shield the operators from the engine. + + This sub-system is probably the most difficult to build. While the + construction of the magnet itself is not difficult, the power supply + may be another matter. + + Electromagnets, by their nature, develop a field that is + proportional to the amount of current (amperes) flowing through + them. Thus it is important to build a power source that can not only + develop a sufficiently high voltage, but it must also supply the + required current. This power should be as close to 'pure' DC (direct + current) as possible. + + EXCITER COIL + + The exciter of the system is very much like the 'Tesla coil' or + auto-transformer. As an example of an auto-transformer, I submit the + television 'flyback' transformer. + + While these examples are by comparison crude, they will serve in the + construction of a model. As in the auto-transformer, the 'turns + ratio' is important. The higher the ratio the greater the voltage + that may be developed. + + Another important factor here is the impedance of the sub-system. + Since this will be working at high frequencies (several megahertz + for graviton production, and 10 to 100 times higher for tachyons) + the AC resistance or impedance must be taken into account, this + impedance must be kept to a + minimum. + + This part of the system, like the shield, does its job by the + magnetic field it generates, therefore, the current flow through the + exciter must be as high as possible, though not as high as the + shield. + + Again the power supply is important, it should be able to provide + the necessary voltage (several hundred volts) at moderately high + current levels (up to 30 amps). + + THE PUMP + + This element functions much like a 'magnetic shock tube' but again + at high frequencies (megahertz). While the power levels here are + somewhat reduced, it is still important to have enough power to do + the job. + + The function of the pump is to 'pull' quanta of either gravitons or + tachyons from the 'stack' and send them down the length of the + engine. + + This is done by setting up a traveling magnetic wave, see fig. 3 for + a crude schematic of this pump. It is again important to consider + the impedance of this component. + + + + + Page 3 + + + + + + multiple turns on coil + +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+------> + | | | | | | | | | + = = = = = = = = = pulsed + capacitors-> = = = = = = = = = DC input. + | | | | | | | | | + ---------------------------------------> + + + It will be noticed that the input to this element is pulsed DC, and + that the element is referred to as an AC element. + + The nature of this such that it functions in the following manner. + + When power is applied the capacitors charge in turn creating the + effect of many smaller electromagnets stacked end to end, when the + last capacitor in the chain is charged, power is removed, thus + allowing the capacitors to discharge + + (high voltage/current diodes across each magnet element + will allow for proper discharge of the capacitors). + + When the capacitors are discharged power is once again applied. + + Because of the nature of the pulsed DC and the current requirements, + high speed switching electronics are called for to control this + element. + + FOCUSING ELEMENT + + The focusing element used here would be much like the 'yoke' used in + television. The purpose here is to create a beam of particles and to + 'bend' that beam in the desired direction. + + The requirements for the focusing coils are greatly relaxed, but, + the need for high power still exists. + + CONTROL SYSTEM + + If this system were to be used only as a 'steady state demo' the + requirements here would be small. + + Simple power supplies and switching circuits would be the only + requirement. However, if the system were to be used in a starship + the requirements would change. + + In a flight situation the dynamic control of 'exhaust' and power + levels would exist. If used in a planetary mode, one could probably + 'get away' with using something like a personal computer (I + personally would recommend at least a '386' based machine). + + However if used in interstellar flight then the use of something + like a 'Cray' would be more in order (though I would doubt that even + the fastest of machines known here on earth would suit). + + In an interplanetary mode, where one is not traveling 'faster than + light', again a PC (486) would probably work. + + So that's basically it. A suitable air/space frame for a ship and + + Page 4 + + + + + + three of these engines and one could go 'star-hopping'. Though I + would warn against 'faster than light' travel due to the 'unknown' + factors involved. + + It has been said that when one attempts to travel faster than light + it must be done 'smartly', i.e. the "jump to light speed". It is + said that to merely accelerate through the light 'limit' is + dangerous. + + If there are any questions or comments, I can be reached through Jim + Stewart at the BBS known as ORDO ARGENTUM ASTRUM (fidonode 1:346/13) + or on the UFO echo. + + -------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

All of the information contained in this letter was +received from George Rateman, Resident Engineer, Air Material Command, +United States Army, who is the principal army technician at the Nuclear +Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft Research Center at Oak Ridge, +Tennessee. + + Mr. Rateman advised that the attached photographs were taken by ______ +in July of 1947. He stated that interview with _______ revealed that he +had been snapping photographs of his family in front of his residence at +218 Illinois Avenue, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, late in the afternoon, when he +looked into the sky and observed the vapor trail as exhibited by the +photograph numbered "1." __________ stated that he took a snap of this +trail, was winding the film to the next number, when he looked into the +sky and observed the ball of fire as shown in photograph 2. _______ made +these photographs available to reporters of the Knoxville News-Sentinel +and a story concerning them was run in that paper; however, as shown by +the photostatic copy of the newspaper clipping, which is also being +submitted herewith to the Bureau, the print was very indistinct; the news +story did not contain any factual information; and it was regarded +generally by the public at the time as a possible trick. + + Later, it was learned by Rateman and _________ that _________ had +made several copies of this photograph and had distributed them among his +aquaintances at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Upon ___________ finding that the +photographs had received some distribution, he requested Rateman as Head +of the Compliance and Investigations Division, to recover as many as +possible of the photographs, advise the persons in whose possession they +were found to say nothing to anyone concerning them, and to return the +said photographs to him for transmission to the United States Air Force +Intelligence Service. Rateman advises that he succeeded in rounding up +twenty four copies of these photographs, and that, according to the +statements of ________, no more copies were made or distributed. Rateman +further stated that _______ had appeared extremely concerned over the +matter and seemed quite emphatic that the matter should be given no more +publicity than was absolutely necessary.

General George Schulgen + AC/AS-2 + +1. As requested by AC/AS-2 there is presented below the considered +opinion of this command concerning the so-called "Flying Discs." This +opinion is based on interrogation report data furnished by AC/AS-2 and +preliminary studied by personnel of T-2 and Aircraft Laboratory, +Engineering Division T-3. This opinion was arrived at in a conference +between personnel from the Air Institute of Technology, Intelligence +T-2, Office, Chief of Engineering Division, and the Aircraft, Power +Plant and Propeller Laboratories of Engineering Division T-3. + +2. It is the opinion that: + + a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or + fictitious. + + b. There are objects probably approximately the shpe of a disc, of + such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as man-made + aircraft. + + c. There is the possibility that some of the incidents may be + caused by natural phenomena, such as meteors. + + d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of + climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which + must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly + aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of + the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or + remotely. + + e. The apparent common description of the objects is as follows: + + (1) Metallic or light reflecting surface. + + (2) Absence of trail, except in a few instances when the object + apparently was operating under high performance conditions. + + (3) Circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed on + top. + + (4) Several reports of well kept formation flights varying from + three to nine objects. + + (5) Normally no associated sound, except in three instances a + substantial rumbling roar was noted. + + (6) Level flight speeds normally about 300 knots are estimated. + + + ============================================================================= + +Document #: 6 +Subject: 1947 GEN.

Any devlopments in this country along the lines indicated would be + extremely expensive, time consuming and at the considerable expense + of current projects and therefore, if directed, should be set up + independently of existing projects. + +h. Due consideration must be given the following: + + (1) The possibility that these objects are of domestic origin - the + product of some high security project not known to AC/AS-2 or + this command. + + (2) The lack of physical evidence in the shape of crash recovered + exhibits which would undeniably prove the existence of these + objects. + + (3) The possibility that some foreign nation has a form of + propulsion possibly nuclear, which is outside of our domestic + knowledge. + +3. It is recommended that: + +a. Headquarters, Army Air Forces issue a directive assigning a priority, + security classification and code name for a detailed study of this + matter to include the preparation of complete sets of all available + and pertinent data which will then be made available to the Army, + Navy, Atomic Energy Commission, JRDB, the Air Force Scientific + Advisory Group, NACA, and the RAND and NEPA projects for comments + and recommendations, with a preliminary report to be forwarded + within 15 days of receipt of the data and a detailed report + thereafter every 30 days as the investigation develops.

On 2 Sept 80, SOURCE related on 8 Aug 80, three Security Policemen +assigned to 1608 SPS, KAFB, NM, on duty inside the Manzano Weapons Storage +Area sighted an unidentified light in the air that traveled from North to +South over the Coyote Canyon area of the Department of Defense Restricted +Test Range on KAFB, NM. The Security Policemen identified as: SSGT +STEPHEN FERENZ, Area Supervisor, ATC MARTIN W. RIST and AMN ANTHONY D. +FRAZIER, were later interviewed separately by SOURCE and all three +related the same statement; at approximately 2350 hrs., while on duty in +Charlie Sector, East Side of Manzano, the three observed a very bright +light in the sky approximately 3 miles North-North East of their position. +The light traveled with great speed and stopped suddenly in the sky over +Coyote Canyon. The three first thought the object was a helicopter, +however, after observing the strange aerial maneuvers (stop and go), they +felt a helicopter couldn't have performed such skills. The light landed +in the Coyote Canyon area. Sometime later, three witnessed the light take +off and leave proceeding straight up at a high speed and disappear. + + 2. Central Security Control (CSC) inside Manzano, contacted Sandia +Security, who conducts frequent building checks on two alarmed structures +in area. They advised that a patrol was already in the area and would +investigate. + + 3. On 11 Aug 80, RUSS CURTIS, Sandia Security, advised that on 9 Aug +80, a Sandia Security Guard, (who wishes his name not be divulged for fear +of harassment), related the following: At approximately 0020 hrs., he was +driving east on the Coyote Canyon access road on a routine building check +of an alarmed structure. As he approached the structure he observed a +bright light near the ground behind the structure. He also observed an +object he first thought was a helicopter. But after driving closer, he +observed a round disk shaped object. He attempted to radio for backup +patrol but his radio would not work. As he approached the object on foot +armed with a shotgun, the object took off in a vertical direction at a +high rate of speed. The guard was a former helicopter mechanic in the +U.S. Army and stated the object he observed was not a helicopter. + + 4. SOURCE advised on 22 Aug 80, three other security policemen observed +the same aerial phenomena described by the first three. Again the object +landed in Coyote Canyon. They did not see the object take off. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + +Document #: 12 +Subject: 1980 KIRTLAND AFB, NM. + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +CONTINUED FROM COMPLAL FORM 1, DTD 9 Sept 80 + +5. Coyote Canyon is part of a large restricted test range used by the Air +Force Weapons Laboratory, Sandia Laboratories, Defense Nuclear Agency and +the Department of Energy. The range was formerly patrolled by Sandia +Security, however, they only conduct building checks there now. + +6. On 10 Aug 80, a New Mexico State Patrolman sighted an aerial object +land in the Manzano's between Belen and Albuquerque, NM. The Patrolman +reported the sighting to the Kirtland AFB Command Post, who later referred +the patrolman to the AFOSI Dist 17. AFOSI Dist 17 advised the patrolman +to make a report through his own agency. On 11 Aug 80, the Kirtland +Public Information office advised the patrolman the USAF no longer +investigates such sighting unless they occur on a USAF base. + +7. WRITER contacted all the agencies who utilized the test range and it +was learned no aerial tests are conducted in the Coyote Canyon area. Only +ground test are conducted. + +8. On 8 Sept 80, WRITER learned from Sandia Security that another +Security guard observed a object land near an alarmed structure sometime +during the first week of August, but did not report it until just +recently for fear of harassment. + +9.

On 13 Aug 80, 1960 COMMSq Maintenance Officer reported Radar Approach +Control equipment and scanner radar inoperative due to high frequency +jamming from an unknown cause. Total blackout of entire radar approach +system to include Albuquerque Airport was in effect between 1630-2215 hrs. +Radar Approach Control back up system also were inoperative. + +2. On 13 Aug 80, Defense Nuclear Agency Radio Frequency Monitors +determined, by vector analysis, the interference was being sent from an +area (V-90 degrees or due East). On DAF map coordinates E-28.6. The area +was located NW of Coyote Canyon Test area. It was first thought that +Sandia Laboratory, which utilizes the test range was responsible. +However, after a careful check, it was later determined that no test were +being conducted in the canyon area. Department of Energy, Air Force +Weapons Laboratory and DNA were contacted but assured that their agencies +were not responsible. + +3. On 13 Aug 80, Base Security Police conducted a physical check of the +area but because of the mountainous terrain, a thorough check could not be +completed at that time. A later foot search failed to disclose anything +that could have caused the interference. + +4. On 13 Aug 80, at 2216 hrs., all radar equipment returned to normal +operation without further incident. + +5. CONCLUSION: The presence of hostile intelligence jamming cannot be +ruled out. Although no evidence would suggest this, the method has been +used in the past. Communication maintenance specialists cannot explain +how such interference could cause the radar equipment to become totally +inoperative. Neither could they suggest the type or range of the +interference signal. DNA frequency monitors reporeted the interference +beam was wide spread and a type unknown to their electronical equipment. +Further checks of the area was being conducted by Technical Services, +AFOSI. + +6.

The purported +originator, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, has reviewed +the message and confirmed that it is a hoax. While the Air Force +Intelligence Service is listed as a recipient of the message, we have no +record of ever receiving it from AFOSI. The copy which we have in our +files was forwarded to us by the organization Citizens Against UFO +Secrecy. + +We are attaching a copy of the document as we received it.

Per our telephone conversation today, I am forwarding Mr Robert +Todd's FOIA request along with the AFOSI message for determination as to +classification level. As you can see, Mr Todd retyped the message "for +easier reading." I have talked to AFOSI/DADF, Nadine Dulacki. According +to her, they did not release the message to Mr Todd nor does she know how +it came into his possession. Maj Kilikauskas (AFSAC/INOB, 664-4488) has +looked at the message and he feels that it is a fake for several reasons: + + a. There never has been an office within AFSAC (or 7602nd) with the + symbol INS, INSR, or IT. + + b. There has never been a "Capt Grace" (or anyone with the surname + Grace) assigned to AFSAC. + + c. The purported imagery interpretation done is outside AFSAC's and + AFOSI's mission. Further, AFSAC has no individuals who are photo + interpreters. + + d. The term WNINTEL is spelled phonetically on each occurrence. OSI + should certainly be familiar with the correct spelling. Further, the + document is replete with grammatical errors, typing errors, and in + general, makes no sense. + + e. The document is not in the standard, accepted format for + classified messages. + +Neither Maj Kilikauskas nor Mr Nehlig (who has worked in AFSAC many +years) remember hearing of a "Project Aquarius." Further, Maj +Kilikauskas had no idea if the information purported supplied by this +Capt Grace is, in fact, classified at the Secret/WNINTEL level. He +suggests that both NASA and Coast and Geodetic Survey be contacted to +see if they have an interest in the message. + +2. Finally, I have talked to Mr Earl Middaugh (AFOSI/IVOE, 767-5144). +He remembers a FOIA request that his office staffed which involved an +AFOSI message similar to this one. However, they were unable to identify +it as OSI originated. He thinks perhaps this might be the same message. +I have forwarded a copy of the Todd request to the AFOSI Freedom of +Information Office (Bob Walker, 767-5262).

I understand from your letter that you intend to +abide strictly by the letter of the law in responses to FOIA requests. I +had not realized that this was the attitude of the NSA or I would not have +bothered you with questions in general. I have gotten the impression from +other sources that the NSA does not maintain a generally open attitude +toward the public, particularly where the subject of unidentified aerial +objects is involved, and while completely understand the need to restrict +some information what good is a country if its citizens are kept ignorant. +Personally I feel that assessing a $15,000 charge for information is +simply a convenient way to disuade requests. + +Let me therefore rephrase my request as I would prefer to judge for myself +whether Aquarius has anything to do with my interests. Firstly, I do not +want to endanger this country or any of its intelligence gathering +sources. I am not a spy or a subversive, my father is a surgeon and Lt. +Colonel in the Air Force and I wouldn't want to harm his career. +Therefore I am requesting just a clean copy of the material NSA is +maintaining which describes what the goal of project Aquarius is. I am +not asking for all material you have but simply the initial forms, papers, +or letters, which initiated this project and those which outline its +purpose. + +I cannot conceive that there should be anything but negligible costs to +photocopy these materials.

Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L),two USAF + security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the back gate at + RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have crashed or been force + down, they call for permission to go outside the gate to investigate. + The on-duty flight chief reponded and allowed three patrolmen to pro- + ceed on foot.The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object + in the forest.The object was described as being metalic in appearance + and triangular in shape, approximately two to three meters across the + base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire fo- + rest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on + top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering + or on legs. As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered th- + rough the trees and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby + farm went into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately + an hour later near the back gate. + + 2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in diameter + were found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The foll- + owing night (29 Dec 80) the area was checked for radiation.Beta/Gamma + readings of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak reading in the + three depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the + depressions. A nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07)readings on the side + of the tree toward the depressions. + + 3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the tree + . It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw off + glowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects + and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, 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 thro- + ugh 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.

Unidentified airplanes, other then American + Army or Navy planes, were probably over Los Angeles, and + were fired on by elements of the 37th CA Brigade ( AA ) + between 3:12 and 4:15 AM.

The vagaries of this +phenomenon have led us into the fields of aurora, cosmis radiation, +atmospheric radio-activity and geo-magnetism. In the case of +geo-magnetics our investigations have contributed little to our knowledge +of radio wave propagation as yet, but nevertheless have indicated several +avenues of investigation which may well be explored with profit. For +example, we are on the track of a means whereby the potential energy of +the earth's magnetic field may be abstracted and used. + + On the basis of theoretical considerations a small and very +crude experimental unit was constructed approximately a year ago and +tested in our Standards Laboratory. The tests were essentially successful +in that sufficient energy was abstracted from the earth's field to operate +a voltmeter, approximately 50 milliwatts. Although this unit was far from +being self-sustaining, it nevertheless demonstrated the soundness of the +basic principles in a qualitative manner and provided useful data for the +design of a better unit. + + The design has now been completed for a unit which should be +self-sustaining and in addition provide a small surplus of power. Such a +unit, in addition to functioning as a `pilot power plant' should be large +enough to permit the study of the various reaction forces which are +expected to develop. + + We believe that we are on the track of something which may +well prove to be the introduction to a new technology. The existence of a +different technology is borne out by the investigations which are being +carried on at the present time in relation to flying saucers. + + While in Washington attending the NARB Conference, two books +were released, one titled "Behind the Flying Saucer" by Frank Scully, and +the other "The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald Keyhoe. Both books +dealt mostly with the sightings of unidentified objects and both books +claim that flying objects were of extra-terrestrial origin and might well +be space ships + + ...... 2 + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + +Document #: 27 +Subject: 1950 W.B.SMITH MEMO #2 + + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Page 2 + + +from another planet. Scully claimed that the preliminary studies of one +saucer which fell into the hands of the United States Government indicated +that they operated on some hitherto unknown magnetic principles. It +appeared to me that our own work in geo-magnetics might well be the +linkage between our technology and the technology by which the saucers are +designed and operated. If it is assumed that our geo-magnetic +investigations are in the right direction, the theory of operation of the +saucers becomes quite straight forward, with all observed features +explained qualitatively and quantitatively. + + I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian Embassy staff +in Washington who were able to obtain for me the following information: + +a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States + Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. + +b. Flying saucers exist. + +c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made + by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush. + +d. The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be + of tremendous significance. + +I was further informed that the United States authorities are +investigating along quite a nubmer of lines which might possibly be +related to the saucers such as mental phenomena and I gather that they are +not doing too well since they indicated that if Canada is doing anything +at all in geo-magnetics they would welcome a discussion with suitably +accredited Canadians. + + While I am not yet in a position to say that we have solved +even the first problems in geo-magnetic energy release, I feel that the +correlation between our basic theory and the available information on +saucers checks too closely to be more coincidence. It is my honest +opinion that we are on the right track and are fairly close to at least +some of the answers. + + Mr. Wright, Defence Research Board liaison officer at the +Canadian Embassy in Washington, was extremely anxious for me to get in +touch with Doctor Solandt, Chairman of the Defence Research Board, to +discuss with him future investigations along the line geo-magnetic energy +release. + + ...... 3 + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + +Document #: 28 +Subject: 1950 W.B.SMITH MEMO #3 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Page 3 + + +I do not feel that we have as yet sufficient data to place before Defence +Research Board which would enable a program to be initiated within that +organization, but I do feel that further research is necessary and I +would prefer to see it done within the frame work of our own organization +with, of course, full co-operation and exchange of information with other +interested bodies. + + I discussed this matter fully with Doctor Solandt, Chairman +of Defence Research Board, on November 20th and placed before him as much +information as I have been able to gather to date.

The reported incident happened as follows: Army Helicopter 68-15444 was +returning from Columbus, Ohio to Cleveland, Ohio and at 2305 hours east, +south east of Mansfield Airport in the vicinity of Mansfield, Ohio while +flying at an altitude of 2500 feet and on a heading of 030 degrees, SSG +Yanacsek observed a red light on the east horizon,90 drgrees to the flight +path of the helicopter. Approximately 30 seconds later, SSG Yanacsek +indicated the object was converging on the helicopter at the same altitude +at a airspeed in excess of 600 knots and on a midair collision heading. + +Cpt Coyne observed the converging object, took over the controls of the +aircraft and initiated a power descent from 2500 feet to 1700 feet to +avoid impact with the object. A radio call was initiated to Mansfield +Tower who acknowledged the helicopter and was asked by CPT Coyne if there +were any high performance aircraft flying in the vicinity of Mansfield +Airport however there was no response received from the tower. The crew +expected impact from the object instead, the object was observed to +hesistate momontarily over the helicopter and then slowly continued on a +westerly course accelerating at a high rate of speed, clear west of +Mansfield Airport then turn 45 degree heading to the Northwest. +Cpt Coyne indicated the altimeter read a 1000 fpm olimp and read 3500 feet +with the collective in the full down position. The aircraft was returned +to 2500 feet by CPT Coyne and flown back to Cleveland, Ohio. The flight +plan was closed and the FAA Flight Service Station notified of the +incident. The FSS told CPT Coyne to report the incident to the FAA GADO +office a Cleveland Hopkins Airport Mr. Porter, 83d USARCOM was notified of +the incident at 1530 hours on 19 Oct 73. + +3.

DUE TO ITS BRILLIANCE THE OBJECT WAS +EASILY VISIBLE FROM 70 MILES AWAY. AS THE F-4 APPROACHED A RANGE OF 25 +NH HE LOST ALL INSTRUMENTATION AND COMMUNICTIONS (UHF AND INTERCOM). +HE BROKE OFF THE INTERCEPT AND HEADED BACK TO SHAHROKHI. WHEN THE F-4 +TURNED AWAY FROM THE OBJECT AND APPARENTLY WAS NO LONGER A THREAT TO IT +THE AIRCRAFT REGAINED ALL INSTRUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS. AT 0140 +HRS A SECOND F-4 WAS LAUNCHED. THE BACKSEATER ACQUIRED A RADAR LOCK ON +AT 27 NH. 12 O'CLOCK HIGH POSITION WITH THE VC (RATE OF CLOSURE) AT 150 +NHPH. AS THE RANGE DECREASED TO 25 NH THE OBJECT MOVED AWAY AT A SPEED +THAT WAS VISIBLE ON THE RADAR SCOPE AND STAYED AT 25 NH. + C. THE SIZE OF THE RADAR RETURN WAS COMPARABLE TO THAT OF A 707 TANKER. +THE VISUAL SIZE OF THE OBJECT WAS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN BECAUSE OF ITS +INTENSE BRILLIANCE. THE LIGHT THAT IT GAVE OFF WAS THAT OF FLASHING +STROBE LIGHTS ARRANGED IN A RECTANGULAR PATTERN AND ALTERNATING BLUE- +GREEN, RED AND ORANGE IN COLOR. THE SEQUENCE OF THE LIGHTS WAS SO FAST +THAT ALL THE COLORS COULD BE SEEN AT ONCE. THE OBJECT AND THE PURSUING +F-4 CONTINUED ON A COURSE TO THE SOUTH OF TEHRAN WHEN ANOTHER BRIGHTLY +LIGHTED OBJECT, ESTIMATED TO BE ONE HALF TO ONE THIRD THE APPARENT SIZE OF +THE MOON, CAME OUT OF THE ORIGINAL OBJECT. THIS SECOND OBJECT HEADED +STRAIGHT TOWARD THE F-4 AT A VERY FAST RATE OF SPEED. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED +TO FIRE AN AIM-9 MISSILE AT THE OBJECT BUT AT THAT INSTANT HIS WEAPONS +CONTROL PANEL WENT OFF AND HE LOST ALL COMMUNICATIONS (UHF AND INTERPHONE) +AT THIS POINT THE PILOT INITIATED A TURN AND NEGATIVE G DIVE TO GET AWAY. +AS HE TURNED THE OBJEAZ FELL IN TRAIL AT WHAT APPEARED TO BE ABOUT 3-4 NH. +AS HE CONTINUED IN HIS TURN AWAY FROM THE PRIMARY OBJECT THE SECOND OBJECT +WENT TO THE INSIDE OF HIS TURN THEN RETURNED TO THE PRIMARY OBJECT FOR A +PERFECT REJOIN. + D.

THEY HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN +ADJUSTING THEIR NIGHT VISIBILITY FOR LANDING SO AFTER ORBITING MEHRABAD +A FEW TIMES THEY WENT OUT FOR A STRAIGHT IN LANDING. THERE WAS A LOT OF +INTERFERENCE ON THE UHF AND EACH TIME THEY PASSED THROUGH A MAG. BEARING +OF 150 DEGREE FROM EHRABAD THEY LOST THEIR COMMUNICATIONS (UHF AND +INTERPHONE) AND THE INS FLUCTUATED FROM 30 DEGREES - 50 DEGREES. THE ONE +CIVIL AIRLINER THAT WAS APPROACHING MEHRABAD DURING THIS SAME TIME +EXPERIENCED COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE IN THE SAME VICINITY (KILO ZULU) BUT +DID NOT REPORT SEEING ANYTHING. WHILE THE F-4 WAS ON A LONG FINAL +APPROACH THE CREW NOTICED ANOTHER CYLINDER SHAPED OBJECT (ABOUT THE SIZE +OF A T-BIRD AT 10M) WITH BRIGHT STEADY LIGHTS ON EACH END AND A FLASHER +IN THE MIDDLE.

I was +stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with the Federal Aviation Administra- +tion (FAA) and was flying with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard. In +the early morning, a report had been received from two air carriers; +Pan American, and a local carrier, Caribair, that at dawn a large +balloon-like object was sighted drifting slowly southwestward at an +approximate altitude of 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The object was detected on +the Air Route Traffic Control Center radar and subsequently tracked. +Movement appeared to be in a southwesterly direction at 4 to 8 knots per +hour, varying slightly hour to hour. I was a member of a flight of 104s +and a T-33 aircraft that went to the site where the object had been +sighted to observe and to photograph it if possible. The object was +visible from the ground at Isla Verde Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico, +lying low in the skies on a south southwesterly heading. Its appearance +was similar to a balloon. After becoming airborne and flying towards +the object, it became immediately apparent that it was at a very high +altitude and was quite a distance away. The object was approximately +40 miles southwest of Ponce, Puerto Rico, at an altitude in excess of +60,000 feet, estimated roughly at 80,000 feet. Myself in a T-33 and four +other pilots in f104s observed and photographed the object. The +following details are noted: + + 1. It was a manufactured item. + + 2. It was at least 125 feet in width with the same approximate + length. + + 3. It was shaped similar to the forward one-third of a speedboat + hull with a flat rear section and a pointed nose section. + (See sketch.) + + 4. There was an area of high reflectivity on the "keel" approxi- + mately one-third from the nose of the object. (See sketch.) + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + +Document #: 39 +Subject: 1977 FAA REPORT PAGE 2 + + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +2 + + 5. The object remained oriented in a northeasterly/southwesterly + direction with the nose pointed northeast; the stern to the + southwest, and drifting slowly against the prevailing winds to + the southwest about 8 knots per hour. + + 6. There were no signs of any type of propulsion unit on the object. + +Extensive gun-camera film was collected showing the object very closely. +A B-52 from Ramey Air Force Base acquired the target on the radar. Upon +"locking on," the B-52 received electronic jamming. The object was kept +in surveillance throughout the remainder of the daylight hours and was +lost after dark. + +The prevailing weather at the time of the incident was clear skies and +unlimited visibility. The object was viewed by the majority of the popu- +lation of the island of Puerto Rico; visible in plain sight for most of +the day, and reported to all military intelligence activities, National +Weather Service, etc. We have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation +as to what the object was. The San Juan Star published a series of +articles concerning the incident. + +I am presently the Deputy Chief at the Kansas City Air Route Traffic +Control Center and would welcome any additional inquiries on this subject +and perhaps I could direct you to where film could be obtained of the +object. + +Thank you, + + +CHARLES M.

Moon Dust: As a specialized aspect of its over-all material +exploitation program, Headquarters USAF has established Project Moon +Dust to locate, recover and deliver descended foreign space vehicles. +ICGL #4, 25 April 1961, delineates collection responsibilities. + +DISCUSSION: + +6. ___ + + a. Headquarters USAF (AFCIN) maintains intelligence teams as a +function of AFCIN-1E (1127th USAF Field Activities Group). Personnel +comprising such teams have normal AFCIN-1E staff duties, and their +maintenance of qualification for intelligence team employment is in +addition to their normal staff duties. For example, the Chief of +AFCIN-1E-OD, the Domestic Operations Section, additionally participates +in approximately 18 hours of training per month for intelligence team +employment. Such training includes physical training, classroom combat +intelligence training, airborne operations, field problems, etc. + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + + +Document #: 45 +Subject: 1961 MOONDUST PAGE 3 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + b. Intelligence teams are comprised of three men each, to include +a linguist, a tech man, and an ops man. All are airborne qualified. +Cross-training is provided each team member in the skills of the other +team members to assure a team functional capability despite casualties +which may be incurred in employment. + + c. Peacetime employment of AFCIN intelligence team capability is +provided for in UFO investigation (AFR 200-2) and in support of Air +Force Systems Command (AFSC) Foreign Technology Division (FTD) Projects +Moon Dust and Blue Fly. These three peacetime projects all involve a +potential for employment of qualified field intelligence personnel on +a quick reaction basis to recover or perform field exploitation of +unidentified flying objects, or known Soviet/Bloc aerospace vehicles, +weapons systems, and/or residual componants of such equipment. The +intelligence team capability to gain rapid access, regardless of +location, to recover or perform field exploitation, to communicate and +provide intelligence reports is the only such collection capability +available to AFCIN, and is vitally necessary in view of current intelli- +gence gaps concerning Soviet/Bloc technological capabilites. + + d. Wartime employment of AFCIN intelligence team capability is +currently primarily geared to the CONAD/NORAD air defense mission +(Atch I). The intelligence team concept was originally developed +within the Air Defense Command (ADC). The ADC Director of Intelligence +was charged in 1953 with organizing the 4602d Air Intelligence Service +Squadron (AISS), with a wartime mission of exploiting downed enemy +"people, paper, and hardware" for intelligence information that would +contribute to the air defense of the continental US, and ADC was +allocated manpower for this function (ADC Regulation 24-4, 3 Jan 53, +Organization and Mission of the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron). + + e. As an economy move, the 201 spaces of the 4602d AISS were trans- +ferred to AFCIN in July 1957 (Hq Comd General Order 46, dtd 8 Jul 57), +to provide manning for peacetime AFCIN functions, but with the contin- +gency that AFCIN would continue to maintain a capability to support +CONAD/NORAD in the wartime people, paper, and hardware mission (Atchs +2 and 3). From the 194 spaces that AFCIN allocated to the 1006th AISS, +activated by Hq Comd General Order #49, 2 Jul 57, this capability was +provided for (Dept of AF ltr, dtd 16 Jul 59, subj: Mission of the 1006th +AISS), and the capability has been maintained to the present time, +through the redesignation of the 1006th to the 1127th USAF Field +Activities Group (AFCIN Policy Ltr 205-13, 13 April 1960). + + f. The maintenance of the intelligence team capability over the +four year period since inactivation of the 4602d AISS has been possible +largely because members of the original highly select and trained 4602d +personnel remained with the organization during its subsequent designa- +tions. _______________________________________________________________ +_______________________________________________________________________ + +3 + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + +Document #: 46 +Subject: 1961 MOONDUST PAGE 4 + + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +______________________ In addition, a minimum number of new +personnel assigned to the organization and fortuitously possessing basic +requisite skills, were further trained and integrated into the intelli- +gence team program as additional duty. + + g. Manning of the intelligence teams from these sources has now +reached the point of diminishing returns. Only 21 qualified intelligence +team personnel are now assigned, and of these approximately half are +scheduled for PCS departure from the organization during the next 12 +months. There is no forecast input of previously qualified personnel. +There are currently five basically qualified volunteers for further +training and assignment to intelligence team additional duty. + + h. In an effort to augment the diminishing capability, USAF +personnel assigned to organizations other than the 1127th within the +Washington area who have airborne/intelligence team qualification, and/or +who are former members of this organization's intelligence teams, and +who have been approved by their organization of assignment and Hq USAF +(AFCIN) for wartime assignment to the 1127th, have been issued appro- +priate orders, and participate in the peacetime training program for +wartime employment. Two such personnel are attached, with no known +available additional personnel. + + i. The most serious immediate and forecast intelligence team +shortage is in Linguists. There are now only five Russion Linguists +assigned or attached, and of these only two are of native fluency, with +the other three of language school capability. Four of the five, +including the two of native fluency, are forecast for PCS by November +1962. Only one gain, fortunately of native fluency, is scheduled for +airborne training for intelligence team qualification and assignment. +Two additional Russian Linguists are forecast for assignment to the +1127th, but neither are yet intelligence team qualified or are known +to be volunteers for intelligence team assignment. All intelligence +team personnel are volunteers. + + j. ______________________________________________________________ +______________________________________________________________________ +Eight personnel in these categories are forecast for PCS loss within the +next twelve months, with an input forecast of five personnel, four of +whom are presently assigned, basically qualified volunteers for airborne +training, and one of whom is a forecast gain to the 1127th. + + k. A sizeable number of qualified Linguists are presently assigned +to _____________________________________________________________________ +_______ ZI bases. Many of the Linguists are either airborne rated and/ +or have had intelligence team assignments to this organization in its +present or former designations. Reassignment of these individuals to +AFCIN-1E upon completion of their present tours is a logical method by + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + +Document #: 47 +Subject: 1961 MOONDUST PAGE 5 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +which the current and forecast shortage could be met. A problem that +would be encountered in implementing such assignment is the lack of +1127th Linguist AFSC manpower vacancies. The 1127th has only twelve +Linguist AFSC manpower spaces allocated and seven of these spaces are +filled with either non-Russian/Bloc country Linguists or with non- +intelligence team qualified Linguists. + + 1. Possible solutions to the current and forecast shortage are: + + (1) Basically qualified personnel currently assigned to AFCIN-1E +who volunteer for further training, to include airborne training, and +assignment to intelligence teams, should be given such training and +assignment as additional duty to normal staff duty employment. + + (2) Assignment to the 1127th of intelligence team qualified +Linguists returning from overseas or completing other ZI assignments +on an authorized overage basis. Such authorized overages were previously +assigned to the organization and provided not only for the intelligence +team capability, but for fruitful peacetime ZI employment of Linguists. +Ten such personnel could be fully and effectively utilized during peace- +time in duties directly in or closely allied to their AFSC's, with the +intelligence team capability being an additional duty. + + (3) Qualified intelligence team personnel now assigned to the +1127th could be retained beyond their normal duty tours until a simi- +larly qualified replacement is forecast or assigned. + + e. A standard AFPMP and AFCIN-P policy should be the identification +to AFCIN-1E of previously qualified intelligence team personnel fore- +cast for return to the ZI form overs3eas assignments for assignment +against AFCIN-1E forecast personnel vacancies. Latitude may be required +and should be authorized in the assignment of such personnel be grade +and AFSC. For example, if a 204XX vacancy is forecast withing AFCIN-1E +and an intelligence team qualified 203XX is forecast available, and the +203XX is determined able to perform the staff duties required, either +from personal knowledge of the individual's capabilities, or by means +of an exchange of correspondence between the losing command and AFCIN-1E, +authorization for asignment of the 203XX against the 204XX vacancy +should be granted. It is generally true that 203's with AISS background +are normally able to perform 204 duties effectively with a minimum of +experience on the job. To a lesser degree, and on a selective basis, +this is also true of 203's being able to perform intelligence organiza- +tion 702 duties. + + n. Discussion to this point has covered the intelligence team +development, composition, current peacetime and wartime missions, and +personnel problems. To further establish the value of the unique +Air Force capability represented by the intelligence teams, their +future potential for employment should be considered. + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + +Document #: 48 +Subject: 1961 MOONDUST PAGE 6 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +CONCLUSION: + +7. __ There is a valid current and continuing need for the AFCIN +intelligence team capability for peacetime and wartime employment. +Actions necessary to maintain the capability in "cadre" strength +should be immediately implemented, and actions to expand the capability +should be implemented on a sound basis of personnel acquisition, +training, equipping, and employment. + +ACTION RECOMMENDED: + +8. ___ + + a. Basically qualified personnel currently assigned to AFCIN-1E +who volunteer for further training, to include airborne training, and +assignment to intelligence teams, should be given such training and +assignment as additional duty to normal staff duty employment. Attach- +ment 4 is a current request for airborne training quotas for five +qualified volunteers. + + b. AFCIN-1E should prepare, and submit through appropriate channels, +individual justifications for the following: + + (l) Authorized overage assignment on a selective basis of an +initial ten intelligence team qualified Linguists returning to the ZI +from overseas assignment, with a later additional supplement in the +event of AFCIN authorized expansion of cadre strength of the intelligence +team capability. + + (2) Detention beyond normal duty tours of qualified intelligence +team personnel now assigned to the 1127th until similarly qualified +replacements are forecast or assigned. + + (3) Request for establishment of an AFPMP and AFCIN-P practice +to identify to AFCIN-1E previously qualified intelligence team personnel +forecast for return to the ZI from overseas assignments. Latitude should +be requested by AFCIN-1E in assignment of such personnel against actual +or forecast vacancies in AFSC and grade spaces in variance with those +possessed by the returnees if it is established that returnees have non- +AFSC skills which can be effectively utilized in the vacant spaces. + + (4) Ninety-day TDY of AFCIN intelligence team to South Viet Nam +for employment in Viet Nam/Laos against USAF intelligence requirements. +Experience gained in establishing logistical support and operational +employment will be invaluable in developing further plans for intelligence +team utilization. The team should be attached to the Air Attache, Viet +Nam, and under his operational control for the period of TYD. + + 4 Atch + 1. Excerpt, 1127 COP 1-60, re NORAD + Supper + 2.

For more than twenty years the Air Force has had the responsibility +within the Department of Defense for the investigation of unidentified +flying objects (UFOs) (Atch 2). As stated in Project Blue Book, this +investigative program has two objectives: + + a. To determine whether UFOs pose a threat to the security of the +United States: and + + b. To determine whether UFOs exhibit any unique scientific information +or advanced technology which could contribute to scientific or technical +research (Atch 3). + +Procedures for Project Blue Book reporting are defined in Air Force +Regulation 80-17. This regulation requires the Commander of an Air Force +base to provide a UFO investigative capability and for Air Force Systems +Command to continue Project Blue Book (Atch 4). In response to this +regulation most Commanders have appointed a UFO investigating officer, +usually as an additional duty. Project Blue Book has two officers, are +NCO and are civilian assigned on a full-time basis. In addition, Dr. A. +J. Hynek served as a scientific consultant until 1 July 1969. + +2. In 1966 the Air Force Office of Scientific Research contracted to have +the University of Colorado conduct an independent scientific investigation +of unidentified flying objects. This study, directed by Dr. Edward U. +Condon and made available as the "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying +Objects," serves as a basis for evaluating the Air Force investigative +effort (Atch 5). After an extensive study of this report as well as the +review of the report by a panel of the National Academy of Sciences, past +studies, Project Blue Book operations and other inputs, the Office of +Aerospace Research concluded, and we agree, that the continuation of +Project Blue Book cannot be justified, either on the ground of national +security or in the interest of science (Atch 6). + +3. The general conclusion of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying +Objects is that "nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 +years that has added to scientific knowledge." As to what the federal +government should do with the UFO reports it receives from the general +public, the authors add that they are "inclined to think that nothing +should be done with them in the expectation that they are going to +contribute to the advance of science." A panel of the National Academy +of Sciences concurred in these views, and the Air Force has found no +reason to question this + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + + +Document #: 55 +Subject: 1969 BOLENDER MEMO PG. 2 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +conclusion. For example, it has been the Air Force that although a +significant portion of the Air Force's environmental research program is +concerned with natural phenomena that could be associated with unidentified +flying objects (Atch 7), Project Blue Book reports have not added any +useful data to these research efforts (Atch 6). Thus, we concur with the +University of Colorado recommendation "that only so much attention to the +subject should be given as the Department of Defense deems to be necessary +strictly from a defense point of view." + +4. As early as 1953, the Robertson Panel concluded "that the evidence +presented on Unidentified Flying Objects shows no indication that these +phenomena constitute a direct physical threat to national security" (Atch +9). In spite of this finding, the Air Force continued to maintain a +special reporting system. There is still, however, no evidence that +Project Blue Book reports have served any intelligence function (Atch 8). +Moreover, reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect +national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force +Manual 55-11, and are not part of the Blue Book system (Atch 10). The +Air Force experience therefore confirms the impression of the University +of Colorado researchers "that the defense function could be performed +withing the framework established for intelligence and surveillance +operations without the continuance of a special unit such as Project +Blue Book." + +5. The conclusion which follows is that Project Blue Book does not merit +future expenditures of resources. Accordingly, we recommend that it be +terminated and that the actions which follow from this decision, such as +cancelling Air Force Regulation 80-17 and not renewing the consultant +contract, be initiated. Termination of Project Blue Book would have no +adverse effect on Air Force operations or research programs. It would +free manpower for useful purposes, eliminate the need for scientific +consultant and relieve base commanders of a minor responsibility and an +administrative burden. + +6. Termination of Project Blue Book would leave no official federal +office to receive reports of UFOs. However, as already stated, reports +of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled +through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose. +Presumably, local police departments respond to reports which fall within +their responsibilities. Similarly, as to scientific research, the +Colorado researchers conclude that, although they do not see "any +fruitful lines of advance from the study of UFO reports, we believe that +any scientist with adequate training and credentials who does come up +with a clearly defined, specific proposal for study should be supported." +We see no reason why the normal channels and criteria for the funding of +scientific research should not be adequate for UFO-related research. + +7. Some feel that a central reporting center should be established, and a +proposal has been made to establish a Rare Atmospheric Pehnomena Reporting +Center (Atch 11 and 12). Because the problem affects a number of +agencies, this center might be under the auspices of the Federal Council +on Science and Technology. However, in the light of the University of +Colorado recommendation + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + +Document #: 56 +Subject: 1969 BOLENDER MEMO PG. 3 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +that the federal government should not set up a major new agency for the +scientific study of UFOs, we do not favor this suggestion and feel that +UFO reports should be left to normal scientific and defense channels. +If such a center is established, it should not perform an investigative +function and should be initiated only on a trial basis for a specified +lifetime. + +8. Project Blue Book has accumulated records on over 13,000 sighting +cases. During his study, Dr. Condon expressed concern about the possible +loss of these records and their relative inaccessibility at Wright- +Patterson Air Force Base. He was assured by Secretary Brown that we would +look into the feasibility and desirability of relocating the files in the +Washington area and that no action would be taken until the Colorado +report was released (Atch 13). If Project Blue Book is terminated, the +records should be transferred to an appropriate archive and preserved for +historical value and to prevent charges that the Air Force is concealing +facts. + +9. To receive the candor and cooperation essential to the successful +investigation of UFOs, the Air Force adopted a practice of confidentiality +witnesses were assured that their names would not be used without their +___________(Atch 14). Therefore, access to these records and the +publications _____________________ access must be carefully reviewed and +controlled. SAFOI feels that an Air Force controlled archive away from +the Washington, D.C. area is the most appropriate storage facility. +Considering the existence of local, privately sponsored UFO investigative +organizations, the ready availability of these records in the Washington +area would result in an inordinate workicad in clearing investigators, +providing documentation, and reviewing and clearing manuscripts. +Therefore, the Air University was queried about the possibility of +storing these documents at the Air Force Archives (Atch 15). Air Force +Air University will acept these records providing: + + a. SAFOI will answer all requests about Blue Book, and not require AU +research to answer such queries. + + b. SAFOI will rigidly limit the right of access to recognized, +legitimate researchers, and + + c. SAFOI will screen researcher's notes to insure that +"confidentiality" is maintained (Atch 16). + +10. Project Blue Book should be terminated, and Blue Book records should +be transferred to the USAF Archives at Air University. The attached +memorandum would initiate these actions. + +RECOMMENDATION + +11. That the memorandum be signed. + + +3 +C. H.

Our records show that Mr. Stone +has submitted six such requests over the past 7 years.

We advised him that, upon receipt of half that +amount, a search would be made. Mr. Stone did not respond to +our letter. + + Regarding the information in paragraph 1 of Mr. Stone's +letter, we have no record of receiving an FOIA requests for +documents dealing with a UFO destruction of a Cuban MiG-23. + + Paragraph 3 of his letter ask for NSA analysis of the +document he attached. It appears to be an Air Force document. +The project names which are referenced, Sigma and Snowbird, are +not NSA projects. We have no knowledge of the information +contained in the document. + + The subject of paragraph 4, project Aquarius, has been the +subject of numerous FOIA requests. Apparently there is or was +an Air Force project by that name which dealt with UFO's. +Coincidentally, there is also an NSA project by that name. The +NSA project does not deal with UFO's. We believe that the +confusion on this issue results from an FOIA requests submitted +by another person with interest in UFOs, Mr. Christian Lambright. + + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + + +Document #: 58 +Subject: 1987 SENATOR:JOHN GLENN#2 + + + FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY + + CENTRAL SECURITY SERVICE + + Fort George G.

It is up to you to decide whether our Congress is a more +credible source of information than a Pleiadian is. - Greg + + THE GREY MEN TAPE +This is an e +dited transcription of a lecture taped April 23, 1988.The information is valid +and, if anything, more easily recognizedtoday--Hatonn.I will be utilizing this +information again when speak of economics,but for now, I will modify from the +audio tape to +save time and repetition.Let us call the group which has elaborate, and +successful, plans to ruleyour nation and your world, the Internationalists. +When I refer to theInternationalists I am referring to a very elite group of +about twelveto thirteen ' +families'. These "families" hold your "purse strings"--zipperand lock, to all +the bags of money in your world. Sound impossible?Nay, it is not only possible, +it is extremely easy to visualize afterI have explained it to you.As I move +along, I will gi +ve you some names and places whereby you cancheck it out on an individual +basis. I wish never to place any humanat risk, however, so in all instances I +will only refer to thosealready having come forth with 'public' statements or +information.I will a +lso have to explain a few terms used to have any sense ofcontinuity. Therefore, +as we move along, forgive me of any digression inattempt to give definition, +i.e., 'fractional banking'.First, you must fully come into understanding that +there truly ARE + theelite few, with plans well foundationed and functioning, who control +boththe world financial markets and ultimately will control all peoples ofthe +world. Do not err in your thoughts by thinking I am speaking of'someone else in +the world', I speak + more for the United States ofAmerica than I do of the remainder of your +world.As I pull portions of the puzzle together for this documentI shall again +be referring to such groups as Trilateral Commission,the Council of Foreign +Relations, and the Bil +derburgers. Forgive meif I am repetitious. I may need to be repetitious in +order to fit thepieces in proper perspective.You must know that there are +certain families (literally) that controlthe hard currency. The countries +wherein these families abid +e are knownas hard currency countries. These thirteen families have control of +the policymaking and the decision making of the central banks of those +countries.They are owners, these families, of the majority of the stock of the +regionalbanks of the +Federal Reserve System. 'Federal Reserve' would indicate to themore uninformed, +that this is a Federal Government Branch. This is untrue,the Federal Reserve +System is NOT a branch of your federal government.Just as these families +control the regional + banks of the Federal ReserveSystem, they also control the currencies that are +not allowed to fluctuate. Note here that the American dollar is the standard +against whichall other currency is measured. All other nations are affected +accordingto the ch +anging values of the dollar. Not only do these families controlthe currencies, +but they likewise control the banks. This, friends,is in all the leading +nations of your world.For ease of understanding, let us just consider the +industrializednations at + this point. I will also need to explain fractional banking toyou, because +without understanding the lending system you cannot get thepicture properly. +All of the banks under control of these familiespractice fractional banking-- +and beyond--(sometime +s there is no hardmoney present at all). But, let us explain by example on a +personal level. FRACTIONAL BANKINGThis is actually referred to as +fractional 'reserve' banking. Lendersare allowed to loan a maximum of up to 20 +to one. This is + perfectlylegal, practiced by every lending institution in America and +elsewhere.Example: Mr. A goes to his friendly banker, Mr. B, and deposits +onethousand dollars ($1000) into Mr. B's bank. Mr. B's bank is a Savings and +Loan so Mr. puts the $1000 i +nto his own savings account. The Savingsand Loan is required by your laws, to +keep only 5% in reserve. The areallowed to loan out 95% of the money invested +or 95% of that which isplaced into savings accounts. This means of $1000 there +is $950 whichis + available to be loaned out. In turn the Savings and Loan takes the$950 and +loans it to Mr. C to do some home repairs, let us say. This gentleman takes his +borrowed $950 and goes to the local hardware/lumbercompany and purchases +supplies, lumber, nai +ls, etc.The lumber company carries on regular banking and therefore, hegoes to +his bank with the $950 for deposit, to Band D. Bank D is nowrequired to keep 5% +but can loan out 95% which would be $902.50.Bank D now loans that to Mr. X who +in turn filt +ers it back into theeconomy, let us suppose, through the grocery store and +otherbusiness stores. He spends it and now we have that money end up inBank Z. +Bank Z is required keep 5%. That means that Bank Z can loanout $857.37. It is +again loaned and f +iltered back in to the economy.This is continued right down to zero. With your +$1000 deposit those bankersusing fractional reserve banking are now allowed to +loan out $20,229.60.This is practiced by EVERY lending institution in America +and elsewhere. +The amounts above do not include 'interest' on the money borrowed, onlythe +principle amount.You must now keep it in mind that this results in an increase +in themoney supply through the Federal Reserve System. Your 'big boys' +simplyturn up the speed o +f your money presses and run them a little fasterand faster in order to pump +more in to the economy just to boost up thefractional reserve banking. Let me +remind you to keep in mind that thethirteen families control all of the hard +currencies of the +world and areallowed to practice this fractional reserve banking--this will be +importantas we move along. THE OIL CRISISWe will now talk +about something referred to, on your planet, as'System 2000', which is a Global +Creditors Unila +teral plan. This plan wentinto effect somewhere about the early 1970s. At that +time a pentagonofficial and several other officials visited Nigeria. They went +to the PrimeMinister and paid him fifty million dollars ($50 million) to raise +the priceof h +is oil to more than double. Nigerian oil is 'light crude' of qualitysuch that +it is almost pure enough to burn immediately, without distillation,in +automobiles. This type of oil sets the price of oil for the entire world.The +$50 million was cash acro +ss the board with no repayment requirementsif Nigeria would double the price of +light crude.We will refer to this as light oil. There are only two locationsin +the world that have this light oil and, of course, it is the most valuableoil +in your world +, therefore, it is the standard against which all other oilin the world is +measured. So, whoever controlled the price of the lightoil at that time +controlled the price of all of the oil in the world.At this point, let us bring +the Arabs into this sce +nario.This will also bringin the Trilateral Commission--that also includes Mr. +Bush. It was now time tobring pressure and persuasion to OPEC. What most of you +Americans do notremember is that the United States of America IS A MEMBER OF +OPEC. It iskep +t most low profile.At that time a 'deal was cut' with the Middle Eastern Oil +Producers andthis is how it went; all buyers were prepared to pay significantly +higherprices for the oil--PROVIDED--all Middle Eastern nations supported +theUnited States of +America, BY INVESTING THE REVENUES INTO THE BIG BANKS INAMERICA.To make this +picture clear, you must remember that the Arabs, who arewealthy sheiks today, +had been wandering around on camelback in a verybig desert. They were nomads +and they were cert +ainly most unsophisticatedin business affairs. Years earlier when the +international bankers foundout that there was oil in their countries, they went +forth and persuadedthe Arabs to allow them to produce the oil by financing the +oil fields,drilling, +rigging--all supplies including expertise.After the bankers financed the oil +fields they then charged the Arabsusury fees for building the supply systems-- +along with refineries.The usury was quickly repaid because the Arabs became +very rich,very quic +kly. (Way back then you were only paying about 30 centsper gallon in your +gasoline stations.) Let us now take it further, you goto Nigeria and pay them +to double the price of light crude. Unbeknownstto the Arabs, those ones who had +become wealthy ove +rnight and didn'tknow zero about business, much less international finance; +then the camelnomads; you call them together and say, 'We will take the price +ofcrude just as high as you want it to go--IF--you will deposit anestablished +portion of the fun +ds that you get from this NEW PROFIT RISEIN 30 YEAR TIME CERTIFICATES IN +CERTAIN MAJOR U.S. BANKS.Perhaps you ones can now understand the problems you +experienced in yourearly 1970s. Remember the gas lines and the prices of oil +skyrocketing?It was be +cause the international bankers, who hold the purses of the world, knewthat the +increase in the price of oil that was going to the Arabs wouldcome rushing +right back to their bank in 30 year time certificates of deposit.Turn now to +the 30 year time d +eposits and let us examine the banker's plans.Back in the late 70's and early +80's Sheik Ymani and his bunch had noidea that there was a connection between +those banks, or that they were thesame people that had the controlling interest +of the major o +il companies.Do yousee what has been woven here? After all, how could the camel +riding nomadsrealize the international bankers were 'having them' hook, line +and upto the fishing pole? How could they possibly know that what was +happeningthrough these +oil companies, was that the monies were being cycled right backinto the +selected, no exceptions, banking system? They couldn't and theydidn't! +THE CONTROLLING TRUSTGoing a long ways back now; in the 1870's the Rockefellers +set up someth +ingcalled a Joint Stock Trust. Here I will add, this was just a brief periodof +time before the American Government declared these trusts illegal. BUT,YOU SEE, +THESE ONES COULD FUNCTION FOREVER UNDER WHAT YOU CALL A 'GRANDFATHER'CLAUSE. +THAT BROTHERS, + IS THE ULTIMATE CONTROLLING FACTOR IN AMERICA OFTHE PRIME BANKS AND THE +FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD. That 'trust' is in the control of the Rockefeller +Foundation, and, in turn controls the FederalReserve Bank and is the method +whereby the Internationalist +s are able to gaincontrol of the currency of the U.S.A.Does it begin to become +reasonable that those New York banks are showingall time record earnings? Yet, +all around the rest of your country of theU.S., banks and Savings and Loans are +going broke +and failing. THAT, FRIENDS,MEANS YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED RIGHT ALONG WITH THE +ARABS AND EQUALLY ASBLINDLY--WITH NO RECOURSE.Let us come back now, and speak +of the deal which 'was cut' (Your ones inpower love that term) with the Saudi +Arabians and o +nes of the Middle East.These ones were required to put their money into the +prime banks; keep inmind that they did not know that the prime banks were able +to lend inamounts of twenty to one. (20 to 1 was quite a while ago, it is +higherat present.) Al +l they were receiving was the interest on the money they haddeposited. Worse +for them, in some of these countries it is unacceptableto receive interest for +religious reasons so they might wait thirtyyears to get any money from their +certificates of d +eposit. In other words,they did not know that this fractional type of banking +could be done,but through this, the bankers of the world were able to gain +control of themoney of the Arab world, and in turn the Arab world only received +back partof the i +nterest from the money that they placed into the International BankingSystem-- +UNDER THESE 30 YEAR TIME DEPOSIT CERTIFICATES.Through the money gained from the +Arabs through the manipulation of theprice of oil, and taking the price of +gasoline from, le +t us say, 30 centsa gallon to $1.25 a gallon--there is a lot of money being +made. Now, withthat money returning into the international banks at 20 to 1, I +think you cansee the staggering profits. Let us face facts, friends, that money +originallycame +from YOU. Because the bankers had locked in the deposits they were then,in +turn, able to make loans to third world nations. ENTER THIRD WORLD +NATIONSThink back fifteen or twenty years ago when the International Bankers +startedinvesting in + third world country loans. LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT THE COUNTRIESWHICH ARE GOING +BANKRUPT (COMPLETELY BROKE) TODAY. IT WAS FULLY INTENDEDTHAT THOSE COUNTRIES GO +BROKE AND I WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.You might wonder how I know so +much. Well, I h +ave the best computer systemin the universe and all I have to do is key it up +and it is spread out beforeme. My computers rarely reflect errors; only changes +in 'probabilities' andperturbations in human action and reactions.I am sorry, +friends, your +friendly bankers set it up deliberately so that thethird world countries would +go broke.You have to pay attention to history andlook back to the time when +those third world countries were beginning to gainindependence and setting up +independent gover +nments.It was at such times thatthese bankers loaned the upstarts great sums of +money which actually had cometo them through the Arabs, basically.The +international bankers not only wanted, but insured, that theseborrowing +countries would misuse the f +undings. It was fully intendedthat the funds could be be mismanaged through +greed and simply be squandered.You must remember that the leaders of these +countries had never governedanything or anybody. They knew nothing about +government. They had beenc +olonies under the governorship of other larger countries.The international +bankers knew that the leaders were bound to squander thefunds. It was known +they would have no way to know what to do with them(and they were massive) and +so the cycle goes. T +hey were actually squanderingmoney taken from you through the Arabs through +high oil prices, etc. Let usnow follow it on through. PUNISHING +TEXASI will hereby digress to a story from Dharma's earth home state--Texas-- +mostof you have he +ard of it. Let us go back some years (not too many) to jogsome memories. Do you +remember someone named John Connelly, who wasgovernor of Texas? Do you recall +that he was also in the vehicle and wasinjured during John Kennedy's +assassination? Well, Mr +. Connelly was alsoUnder Secretary of the Treasurer--he was a lot of things and +titles. Theseones with Mr. Connelly did a most fascinating thing--they planned +toimplement a new currency for the State of Texas. You see, Texas is a partof +the Union onl +y through a renewable 'treaty'. The treaty is automaticallyrenewed every year, +but it isn't necessary that it be renewed. That means,friends, that the U.S. +only has a treaty with Texas to keep it in the unionof states. It was not voted +in as were you +r other states.Texas was at one time--I believe you term might be 'filthy +rich'. The statewas wealthy and there were many very, very wealthy individuals. +Richindividuals such as the Hunt brothers, who actually had nothing +originally,but became extrem +ely wealthy, overnight, by OIL. That was all the way backwhen oil was first +struck and became so popular.I am truly going to tie all this together but you +must bear with me for thereare so many facets. I must make it clear what I am +going to say. I w +illexplain to you why, if you don't already know, it was so very important +toones of 'the opposition', and why there was an assassination attempt +againstMr. Connelly's life as well as Kennedy's.Why are those men 'broken' +today and a state in severe f +inancial trouble?It is because the Internationalists learned of what the Hunt +brothers andMr. Connelly were trying to do. Texas, a state by treaty, can +legallysecede from your union. The Hunt brothers and Mr. Connelly knew +thatTexas had the ability t +o set up their own country and have their owncurrency. That is why they could +be solvent and not be under the dictatesof the Federal Reserve System. Or, +simply stated, under the control ofthe international bankers.At about the same +time they were in +the process of gaining a corner on thesilver of the world. This was in order to +finance a process whereby theycould overcome the international bankers and it +was at that point the Huntbrothers were smashed. John Connelly was almost +killed, and Texas, + whichcould have been the only state in the union to fulfill breaking out of +the trap,has been punished with some extremely major problems. Today, portions +ofDallas and Fort Worth, Houston and other wealthy, wealthy cities have goneon +to resemble gho +st towns in your Old West. Ones who had grown rich in theoil industry have been +severely punished, the Hunts and Connelly are bankrupt.The Internationalists +became so incensed, so angry, at what these Texans haddone that they broke the +back of the oi +l industry, and the major oil producersof Texas. It was a well designed plan +and executed in perfection.When ones attempt to interfere with the plans of the +international bankers,you can see what the results can be.The Hunt brothers +were working dire +ctlywith the Shah of Iran, on the above plan. Immediately thereafter one of +theTexas bankers was killed, the Shah of Iran deposed, and the Hunt +brotherswere forced into bankruptcy.There are many ways the international +bankers can get revenge on ones +whoattempt interference with their overall plan;through murder, or you might +wellbe placed into a mental institution and locked away permanently, or you +canhave trumped up charges brought against you whereby you are locked +awayindefinitely in prison. + This latter has also happened to numerous ones in the'UFO' investigation +circles who find and bring forth truth. It is exactlywhat happened to Colonel +Wendelle Stevens. Colonel Stevens probably hasinvestigated more UFO incidents +than any other one i +ndividual. Further,an assassination plot was arranged and attempted while +Colonel Stevenswas incarcerated. Strangely, the perpetrator, who dressed as a +religiousleader, was caught in the act, turned over to the FBI, and has never +beenheard from again +. So be it. THE SHAH'S DEATHIf you will recall, the Shah of Iran +was in perfect health when he wasdeposed and departed Iran. He was only +declared to be sick after he reachedthe United States. You were told he was +being held in 'protecti +ve' custodyat a military base. There, you were also told, he was being treated +for hisillness--which was not present at the time of his arrival. He died +anyway,didn't he? Face it--his death was planned and the murder executed.In +your present months t +here is an international uproar over the use the ofchemical and germ warfare +utilized Iran and Iraq. Some of the viruses cannotbe traced--nor, in such above +instances, would anyone dare to pursue it.Who would question a man becoming +ill, being treate +d and then expiringunexpectedly? Certainly no one in the United States would +question it.You were uncomfortable enough just having the man in your country. +Deathcan most effectively be brought about in any number of non-traceable +ways;one of which is + through micro-dots and variations of vibration frequencies,as well through +viruses. (This is exactly what happened to Dharma, inher own dwelling--causing +cardiac arrest. We just happen to have her underconstant monitoring for she is +a receiver of se +veral of us in this higherfrequency dimension; therefore, we can catch these +attempts and counterthem. Doesn't do much for the mental relaxation of the +victim, however.) THE HOSTAGE STORYYou can get verification of these +little stories from Sen +ator John Hansenof you own government. I am going to speak of Iran and your +people who weretaken hostage. I doubt many of you have heard the truth of the +matter.Senator Hansen was in the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. +Heknew what was ha +ppening in Iran and requested permission to go to Iran andinvestigate. Congress +refused. Mr. Hansen then purchased his own privateairline ticket and proceeded +to Iran anyway.When Senator Hansen arrived, the one Khomeni proffered an +audience. Guesswha +t Khomeni said? He said, 'We don't want these hostages, certainly not anymore +than you want us to have them'. 'As a matter of fact," Khomeni continued;'I'd +like to give you these hostages, at least half of them anyway, and youcan take +them home with +you tomorrow morning. That is, Mr. Hansen, if you willpromise to begin an +investigation into the relationship between the Shah ofIran, Chase Manhatten +Bank, Mr. Henry Kissinger and your President Carter.'At this point, Senator +Hansen was most delight +ed. He rushed to call backto the U.S. to someone who could give authorization +and said 'Hey, I canbring half of the hostages home tomorrow. How shall I +arrange it?' Theperson on the other end of the line said, 'Well, I will call +you backtomorrow and +let you know.' Now please guess what happened on the followingmorning? When the +call was placed back to Mr. Hansen, he was told the following, 'Get yourself on +the next airplane coming to America. Come homeimmediately. Do not bring +hostages. Do not d +o any negotiating. You have noright to speak the part of the Congress of the +United States of Americaeven if you are a congressman. Get home immediately +with no furtherdiscourse.'Here is what he found upon his return to Washington-- +that the incident +wasentered into the Congressional record. Further he found that PresidentCarter +knew the hostages were going to be taken and further--knew that theywere there +for a reason and he was not to interfere. Now, you ones get yourselfready for a +bomb if you + have not already had access to this expose. Therelease of the hostages in Iran +was negotiated by a negotiator of ChaseManhattan Bank in New York, U.S.A. All +outside overt and covert attempts togain release was a facade. Ask any marine +who was involv +ed in the militaryefforts thereof.Is it really any wonder to you ones that Iran +is all ticked off at you today?Those hostages, and America, were held in terror +while bankers got the Shah'smoney safely into their banks before the Shah was +killed and t +hen, in turn,got much of the money belonging to Iran. A pretty wicked way to +get Iran'smoney into the Chase Manhattan Bank to it could remain solvent and be +oneof the wealthiest institutions in the entire world. SLEIGHT OF +HANDThe intern +ational banks formed bank 'holding companies' so that they couldnot be held +responsible. The Chase Manhattan, Chemical Bank and J.P. Morgan'sbank were the +predominant banks for money deposited by the Arabs. Theholding companies were +formed in order t +o loan out money to the third worldcountries while knowing full well that the +third world countries were goingto go broke.After the Shah had been destroyed +and the money was safely in the banks, therewere massive amounts of money +loaned to third worl +d countries. These noteswere shifted from the banks to the bank holding +companies in anticipationof the eventual bankruptcy of the borrowing +countries.One holding company was for the purpose of loaning money to the third +worldcountries. The purpose o +f the second holding company was to borrow moneyfrom the international bank in +order to purchase agricultural lands. Thatmeans you farms and also certain +corporations in the United States. Thefarms and businesses will probably +continue to make some m +oney, but the thirdworld countries are destined to go down. This is ongoing, +dear ones, not apassing fancy. WATCH THE HANDSWe are going to now +consider currency on a world basis. We will also pointout why some of the +monetary plans and mon +ey making formats are valid andviable.Let us speak a bit about Mr. Marcos who +was recently deposed from thePhillipines. This is most typical, friends, so +watch the hands closely.A representative of the international bankers' bank +went to those ones a +ndsaid, 'Mr. Marcos, we will forgive all of your loans. You cannot pay +themback, you cannot pay back the interest, you can't pay back the +principle,but, we would like to make you a bargain. We will just forgive the +loans.'Digress time: remember, who +did that money belong to that they loaned outto these third world places? It +was not the bankers'. Well, of course,it was all that Arab money, because of +the higher prices that the people allover the world had paid. So, back to what +the bankers say, +'We'll justforgive your loans, the principle and the interest and you never +haveto pay it back--IF (ALWAYS THE IF)--. The 'if' goes about as follows:You +have to do away with your national currency, whatever it is. The dollarwill be +your currency basi +s of value. You will be set up with a type ofdebit card system instead of the +usual currency system. Then, too, youmust give us perpetual rights to all of +the natural resources in yourcountry.Interestingly enough, it was right after +that little gift +gesture; thatfriendly little suggestion, that Mr. Marcos was deposed. Why do +yousuppose that happened? Well, Mr. Marcos was pretty feisty and he told +theinternational bankers where they could go right after they got +immediatelyout of his country. He +had no intention of giving them sovereigntyover his country and look what +happened.Everyone in that country found that suddenly their social security +numberwas synonymous with their credit number; further, their central bankwas +to act as a wholesaler + for credit, which in turn, was extended to it bythe new super bank which was +announced by your Mr. Paul Volker in the fallof 1985. That was ratified +immediately by President Reagan. Just a funaside for you who love to play with +numbers and speculate + aboutcoincidence--the names and numbers, the digits, added up to six. Lots +ofthings around Mr. Reagan add up to sixes--even his retirement home address.I +take very little stock in these things, but many of you seem to like thegame. +Also, because a P +resident is not reelected does not mean he isvanquished from the fray.A further +contingent condition of the benevolent gift, if you will, of theInternational +Monetary Fund, was that in order to help the economy ofthose countries the IMF +was going to +nominate external, nondomesticcorporations to properly engineer, exploit and +excavate the minerals ofthose said countries who had just put those same +mineral resources up ascollateral. This would all, thereby, supposedly bring +prosperity to thosestri +ving nations.Mr. Marcos was a bit sharper up front, however, and he pinpointed +on theword PERPETUAL in the contract. He realized that quite obviously he would +besigning away the sovereignty of his nation.I make no comment or judgement +regarding Mr. M +arcos as a person, nor doI make comment about any individual--those ones are of +human format, notmine. I am just telling you the way it is and how some things +happened.In the case of the Marcoses, it was only a matter of weeks before +thebankers broug +ht down the guillotine blade. Riots were financed by, andoriginated through, +ones of the international bankers' groups. It is neverhumanly wise to cross +these ones; you see Mr. and Mrs. Marcos wereexploiting the people well enough +on their own and di +d not wish to share. WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?Ah, let us not forget +those holding companies of which I spoke. Rememberholding companies one and +holding companies two? The secondgroup was receiving credit from the first +group of holding com +panies topurchase assets and liabilities from the 'prime' banks. The only +liabilitiesthey would purchase were liabilities represented by Certificates of +Depositsof the Arab nations. The assets they were buying were loans made to +thedebtor nations. Re +member, it was designed that third world countries woulddefault on the loans +which would bankrupt the holding companies whichhad purchased the Arab's CD's +from the banks.At such a point, the international bankers say to the Arabs, 'OK +fellows,sorry, +but all those billions of dollars in 30 year term deposits thatyou have been +depositing all these years are gone.They were sold to a holdingcompany, +unattached to us, which loaned the money to third world countrieswhich are +bankrupt--broke--gone kapu +t. Sorry, Mr. Arab, but as of todayyou are bankrupt. Just like that--all +gone!'You might ask, 'Is it possible for the Arab world to go bankrupt? +Reallynow, the richest people in the world with all that oil?' It is a +littlebit shocking isn't it? Poor +souls, they didn't even know those CD's hadbeen 'sold' to those holding +companies. They had deposited the money rightinto the New York bank as +required. How could they possibly know they weretransferred out and into +bankruptcy destined companies? How + could theyunderstand the inner manipulations of international financiers? They +werenomads, they didn't know anything about business. One cannot even +considerthem foolish. How much of this intrigue do you know, much less +understand?The Arabs could no +t know what they were up against. But now let us look atwhat has happened. +Before the end of 1986 the Arab world became a bit awareof what was happening +to them. The word went out that before May 1st, 1987millions and millions had +to be transferred o +ut of the Arab world intoAmerica, to start preparing for doomsday. Money was to +be shifted into anykind of securities that were even half way decent. Why do +you think thiswas so? It was so that when the Arab sheiks came to the point +ofbankruptcy they + could be sure the people under them, those millions ofpeople of the Arab +countries who have literally been 'kept' by give-awayprograms, could not get at +them. They would have a place to run to and,hopefully, hide. Well, when this +all comes down that + these Arab countrieshave literally been sold out, innocently or +knowingly,there will be uprisingsturmoil and literally, massacres abounding. It +is going to happen, friends,right in the Arab nations.This is why they have +purchased, and set in place, +silkworm type missilesfrom China. Long range, nuclear capable, and they have +the nuclear devicesto arm them. Could it be they will be needed against their +own peoples?The people are going to be quite irritated when the are no longer +receivinganything + from the oil revenues, that their own country is bankrupt and thatfurther, +they were sold out by their own leaders. At that point there willbe mass +migration of sheiks headed for America where they have alreadytransferred the +most of their assets.Th +e Arabs were trying to make the big purchases by May of 1988; it isnow a year +and a half later. Do you not think things might be startingto come down pretty +soon? Could it be relatively correlated in timing toSavings and Loan problems +and private pen +sion plan troubles and failingeconomy and - and -?I continue to see problems as +I look on my scanners. The probability of youmaking it into your 1990 before a +major depression is not reflected there.I see no way for you to make it past +your fall seas +on.You only need a couple more countries to default and your monetary +systemwill collapse. You sit on the target for several methods of pulling +youdown into collapse. Well, back to the original story.We are talking of +holding companies in trouble. Th +e international bankershave removed responsibility from themselves. They passed +the notes, etc.on to the holding companies who in turn made the bad loans. All +that moneybelonging to the Arabs has been passed into the holding companies. +Allthe interna +tional bankers have to do is say to the Arabs, 'You are broke.As of today--all +gone!' When the Arabs demand payment of the 30 year termnotes, the holding +companies are insolvent--simple as that, no funds--broke.Do you see now, that +this group 'made' +people some years back and nowthey can 'break' them with equal speed and +efficiency without beingaccountable?I fear, friends, it is not very different +from what is being doneunto you dear ones. BUT, that is another story. Here +things began to happen +rapidly and with sleight of hand. There havefollowed myriads of liquidations, +foreclosures and bankruptcies which wereeffected by the FDIC and FSLIC which +are under the total control of theFederal Reserve Board. Literally dozens of +banks all over Ame +rica quicklywere, and are, being bought up. But the big question is by whom? +Who hasthe money in sufficient amounts to make such purchases? The great sums +comefrom the higher oil price money that goes to the Arabs, thedeposited into +the international + bankers' banks. The banks being purchasedare then intentionally closed. Some +of those banks are still solvent.They are also buying up farm land throughout +America through the farmers whoare now being put into bankruptcy because of the +high American +dollar (in relation-ship to foreign currency). At least this is the way it was +up to a year or soago--it is fluctuating somewhat at the present time for other +heinous thingsare under way which are the next step in the plan. I shall not go +into thoset +hings in this document for I intend to do a document relative to youreconomies. +First, let us consider what is happening now and has been, foryour past few +years--a lot of things are being done now through the Orientalcommunities. Ah +so? + WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?What happens next after this point in insolvency and +negotiations, is thatthe assets would have to be liquidated. The Arabs now have +to liquidate.They bought farmland, for instance, all over America. Likewise +theybought stocks in a + lot of corporations as well as a lot of bonds and someother kinds of real +estate. In fact, they have controlled a large portionof the New York Stock +Exchange. Keep in mind the Japanese control a largeportion, also.Let us look at +the morning followin +g the notice of bankruptcy. The Arabswill dump their stocks onto the New York +Stock Exchange and what is going to happen when billions of dollars worth of +their stock comes on the market?I am talking billions and billions of dollars +and, suddenly, th +ere itall is to be sold!What happens to farmland that is already depressed? In +1987 prime farmlandthat had been worth $3,000 an acre was less than $700 per +acre becauseof deflation and the inability to repay farm loans. Now you have +addeddrought and +all sorts of other bad dreams. By the way, this deflation wasbrought about by +your Federal Reserve System. Well, the Arabs don't wantthat farmland, they have +all the problems they can handle. What happensto the price of farmland? It is +going right to + the floor isn't it?Brothers, when that happens with the value what does it +mean? It meansit has no collateral value any longer. With no collateral value, +how cana farmer borrow money next year for his crops? In turn, what happensto +the crops? Who is + going to feed the people? What is going to happenin the grocery markets? The +results, of course, equates to hunger andscarce supply. Sad, brothers, but it +is a well laid plan working toperfection.It all boils down to CONTROL and how +do you ever reco +ver. Further, let uslook at your stock situation. What is going to happen when +thesemultitudes of stocks are dumped on the stock market? Chaos. Whatwill be +the result of catastrophic chaos? IT HAS BEEN DESIGNEDTO THROW THE AMERICAN +STOCK EXCHANGES, P +RIVATE CORPORATIONS, PRIVATEBUSINESS, AMERICAN REAL ESTATE AND QUITE FRANKLY, +THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL,INTO A STATE OF TOTAL CONFUSION. TO THE RESCUE! Let me +finish theplan for you. At the time of total confusion and inability to +function,those benevole +nt bankers are going to come through with a 'save the worldproposal'. They are +going to be prepared to eliminatecash because of its collapse. Secondarily, +they must then stop drugtrafficking. Then, they must also push to stop tax +cheating. Now, whats +elf respecting American citizen can possibly be against such noble efforts?They +(the bankers) have set up and orchestrated all of these programs and nowwill +pretend to stop them.What will the average American do when your television +says, 'Look atwha +t those dirty Arabs have done to you?' What would you do? You aregoing to +believe what they tell you, aren't you? You are going to be rightup there in +front saying 'Sure they did it to us. Those Arabs want tocontrol the world.' +Pretty soon it will be +, 'Those Japanese want to controlthe whole world,' and then, 'The Chinese want +to control the whole world."You will join the chant that says, 'Look they +bought up all this major partof America. Look at all the money we have given +them, and see what t +hey havedone. They have collapsed our stock market, et cetera and so on'.Ah ha, +but here come your benevolent bankers and they are going to say to you,'You +have got to have a new currency and then the next thing we will dois use that +new currency to +stop this dope trafficking. You know, that whichis coming in from Central +America and those other countries. Then, ofcourse, we are also going to have to +have a debit card to stop people fromtax cheating because, after all, Mr. +Public, if we don't do + this we willnever get ourselves back on our feet. So, brothers, if you'll just +turneverything over to us benevolent bankers we will take care of everythingand +straighten out the whole mess.' You know what, brethren? You willhop on that +bandwagon and + agree to your imprisonment like babes to candy.You will not only agree to it; +you will demand it. For you will forget tohear the big IF. 'YOU WILL GET ALL +THIS DONE FOR YOU IF YOU WILL JUST TAKEA DEBIT CARD FOR YOU INDIVIDUALLY WITH +OUR LITTLE OLD N +UMBER ON IT!'YOU WILL HAVE JUST FALLEN FOR THE OLD IDENTIFICATION CARD +SCHEME.HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TO YOU? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD THE +TRUTH,FRIENDS, AND WILL YOU BELIEVE IT NOW AS I GIVE IT TO YOU? NO, MOST OF +YOUWILL DISCOUNT ME AS A FIGMEN +T OF SOME NUT'S (GBL's?) WILD IMAGINATION.SO BE IT FOR I AM GREATLY SADDENED +FOR YOU AS A SPECIES. THE NEW CURRENCYThis has been a scenario +about the Middle East. Where do you think you aretoday and what do you think +you will be when you + have this new currency?It will only devaluate the old 'dollar' to zero. It is +planned already andnamed already; the Phoenix. A little prior to this, there is +a plan to bringforth an international credit card ID. Let us refer to it as +agovernment ID +card with your social security number on it which wouldbe, and get this because +the next is important, satellite linked throughthe Star Wars system. Does any +of this sound familiar to you? Thisprogram of Star Wars is at least 60% geared +towards this +very purposeand only 40% for the claimed defense systems, etc.This major space +linkup will facilitate the transmission of bankinginformation throughout the +world instantly. This would be a debit cardwith a number which would be +required for you to do + business, and friends,if you know anything at all about your Biblical +prophecies, God hasalready told you it will be, it will take place. Further, it +will bedone in such a clever way that you 'Christians' who say you will +NEVERsign up nor participat +e will never see it hit you and you will havejoined the program without even +realizing it. How else are you going tosurvive? Let us not be foolish in our +claims for you are dealing with themost clever planners who have out thought +you completely up t +o this date.Now, I hope you will believe me when I tell you that the 'Star +Wars'program of satellite systems is in place. Satellites are up there,friends. +We of other planets are allowed to stop nuclear warheads--we are notpermitted +to touch satellit +es which are not geared to some type ofnuclear detonation.Well, all those +wonder filled bits of technology called eyes in the skyand spy satellites 'for +you security' are really forthe purpose of transfer of the very banking and +income information wh +ichI have just been describing. It can set up immediate transfer of funds +fromall over the entire world, from the debit card, that the +internationalistswill see to it are established with every living person. You +will be on thesystem whether you know + it or not. In fact, you who are old enough to readthese words--and every +child--is already entered therein.All information will be entered into a +central computer and from that placethe world will come under instant financial +control. So, dear Ameri +cans,you have just paid you hard earned money to finance that program +toinitiate the bankers' international credit card system and number systemthat +will be implemented whether or not you choose of it. IT IS DONE,BROTHERS, IT IS +PLACE--DONE! DON'T TE +LL ME YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE--YOU ARE ALREADY A PARTICIPANT, DEAR LITTLE +ONES.Oh yes, what of your defense system? Doesn't look too good does it?Well, +we are not going to let those nuclear warheads out here in outspace past one +hundred fifty miles +anyway. That is our prerogativeand we stop them or dismantle them. +HEAR MEDo you not see, brothers, that this is the way the prophecies are +cominginto your focus? It is happening all about you but you don't seem toknow +what it is you lo +ok for.Please, all I want you to do at present is HEAR ME. There is naught +youcan do about it to any great extent as it stands.You who will hear me and +mine own groups, hear me. You must utilize allof the remaining time to its +maximum efficiency for +we will have to continueto work under the new systems. Our projects will never +be less thanexcellent investments and they must, and will, be funded. It needs +to bedone rapidly, however, before we are caught up in the total collapse of +themonetary sys +tem. We can work through depression if we have fundings--monetarycollapse shuts +us down for all practical purposes, until the system can beput on track and +functioning.It can work and will work, for in these confused, rushed and +harassed daysthere is + great madness to shift money and make money on money and etc.Countries such as +China, Japan--all non hard currency countries are desperateto convert to +dollars.I will further tell you that your governments know we are here. They +alsoknow we are not +here to interfere. We are here to walk our people througha transition and we +plan nothing subversive. We do plan good businessventures and welcome all who +wish to participate. We have no communes,all work for fair reward. We plan good +business with t +otal integrityand latest technology. We are here to help, not overthrow. We are +hereonly to walk our brothers through, for it will all come down just as +theprophecies are given. There will be some very bad times ahead mostsurely if +plans are not made + for those days of tribulation.Let me speak a bit more regarding 'timing'. I +know that what Ihave said is truth.It was confirmed by top sources in +Switzerland that by October of last yearthere were twelve debtor nations who +had agreed to the proposal + of debtforgiveness in exchange for perpetual consignment of natural +resources.There only need to be one or two more that give enough leverage to +announcethe Arabs bankrupt. As of now, all the top leaders in the Arab world +knowthe story and they are +scared to death about it. They don't know what theyare going to do about it; +there is actually nothing they can do about it.They certainly do not know how +to announce it to their populace. Theredoesn't seem to be any way to get the +information out to + the people.Further, no one knows how to announce all this to the American +people.It has been attempted by some and fallen on deaf ears. I hope that bythe +time many of you have read this document, there will be recognitionof our +presence in your spac +e. What I tell you is truth. IN SUMMARYI would like now, to sum up +this scenario.Because the 20 to 1 debt to asset banking ratio also operates in +reverse(that's how it is with leverage), it only takes about five percentof the +the third wo +rld nations to declare bankruptcy and when they do,and they accept the plan of +the international bankers, then the bankers candeclare the bank holding +companies bankrupt. Because of the reverseleverage of the loans, only 5% of the +third world countri +es couldbasically declare the world bankrupt and the ownership of all falls to +theinternational bankers.When this program is initiated and in place, it will +wind up with the international bankers owning all mortgages and all properties. +Whatis that g +oing to do to your country? What about the world? What controlwill they have +when they initiate the debit card? It will be an automaticnumber which will be +given and would be required because the countryis devastated.It would then +result that the int +ernational bankers, who are made up ofall these secret and complex committees I +have previously discussed,would now own the majority of the United States and +most other countries(for all will fall in short order), would control the Arab +world andther +efore, by about a thirty year plan of manipulation, will havebrought the +peoples of the world under control.Two years ago, your Senator George Hansen +said you had only about a yearto get this under control, to get the information +out and do something +about it. Well, your year has passed into two and a half. How much haveyou +heard about it? I doubt very much. Brothers, this is how men makeslaves of +their fellow men.It has, however, been prophesied since the beginning of your +world that thesethings + would come to pass. This statement is not to give you negativefeelings. This +is to tell you that you are IN the time of evolution ofyour planet where these +things are now coming to be.I go through all this that you might recognize the +signs which ar +e allaround you. The time, in your perception of time, is fleeting. The +'time'we call sequence of events--is fleeting. We have much to do and weare +here ad available to assist you one of God and the children ofyou planet called +Earth Terra. You are a + sister planet to we of thePleiades. Many of our ones walk among you. There are +many duties and jobsthat must now be finished.The story, the work, will go out +for that is God's promise to man. Hispromise is to allow man to hear and to +see, followed b +y proof. He willsend these things through us of the space brotherhood.These +things shall be documented and sent forth to man so that man can seewhat he +wishes to do--what choices he wishes to make regarding his divinity.I am going +to leave this porti +on now, that you ones can ponder these things.We come in love and we can see +farther than you. We have access to allrecords, so we can see and know. We can +give assistance if we are sopetitioned. And you might ask, 'Why would you ones +do that?' Becau +seFather God the Totality, the Light which is your Source and My Sourceloved +you enough to send forth His Celestial Son, before us. We now servethat same +'Son' who is our Commander and act in His service.Further, for you who are our +brothers, we will + not leave you stranded onthat place. Ye who do not yet know me, will come to +understanding of ourpresence. I leave mine seal and my blessings on this +portion, which I fearis quite lengthy. Please ponder it several times until you +haveunderstanding f +or it is most important.Go Dharma, it has been such a terribly long session for +you. Turn thepapers over to the others that you may get some rest.Salu, Salu, +Salu Hatonn moving to stand-by. ----------------- +------------- +--------------------------------------------[ Don's Note: If this *sounds* +outlandish..then consider that sincethe timeframe in which this was +transcribed, of mid 1989, that wehave heard revelations of "Where was George +Bush" in his part regardingthe + OCTOBER SURPRISE topic, with regard to the American hostages thatwere held in +Iran and they were "automagically" let go a mere 30 minsas soon as Ronald +Raygun took office....also the ongoing revelationswith regard to the +ramifications of the Savings + and Loan "crisis"...also the FACT that the recent Supreme Court rulings, +released in earlyJuly of 1991 have done much to further erode the Bill of +Rights...theBrady Bill that passed, the Supreme Court rulings on McNeil vs +Wisconsin,Wilson vs Seiter, + Florida vs Bostick, Coleman vs Thompson and Ylst vsNunnemaker. ]For further +investigation, I would recomend the following:- "A Nation Betrayed" by Bo +Gritz- Illiminatus Trilogy by Neal Wilgus and Robert Anton Wilson- Illiminatus +OUTLINE by Robert An +ton Wilson- "Echoes of Conspiracy" text files on the JFK assassination- +GEMSTONE and OPAL text files- "The Delicate Balance" by John Zajac- "The Club +of Rome, The Enemy of Mankind" by John Coleman- Any publications from/about +the Bilderbergers,Tri-L +ateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.- A review of the Iran +Contra hearings with regard to Ollie North's statements to the "off the shelf, +self-sustaining parallel Govt".- A review of the extant data with regard to WHO +armed Sadd +amn Hussein- Article: "At CitiCorp, a glimpse of the Future," U.S. News and +World Report, page 54 (July 9, 1984)- Article: "Big Brother's Tools Are Ready, +But ....," U.S. News and World Report, page 88 (January 2, 1984)- "666 Is +Here" , (Today in B +ible Prophecy, Inc., Huntington Beach, Calif) The "Phoenix Journals" , from +which Greg Lush transcribed this textfrom are available at:American West +Publishers,IncP.O.

In a letter to Secretary of Defense Dick Cheny, Rep. Earl +Hutto, D-Fla., said he was concerned over "possible deficiencies in the +Pentagon's review process of candidates for security clearance." The letter +noted the bizarre incident that began in West Germany. + One female and five male soldiers, members of the 701st Military +Intelligence Brigade in Augsburg, West Germany, were arrested in Gulf Breeze, +a suburb of Pensacola, July 14 and 15 after being reported absent without +authorization. + All were transferred to Fort Bragg, Ga., for questioning. The Army +launched a routine counter-intelligence investigation, and very quickly said +there did not appear to be any espionage involved in the desertions. + The soldiers were transferred last Friday to Fort Knox, Ky., after being +charged with desertion. It has not yet been determined whether they will be +punished, officials said. + Published reports, citing friends and family members, have said the group +came to the Panhandle in a bid to uncover a supposed UFO coverup, to be on +hand for the Rapture or to find and destroy the anti-Christ, Jesus Christ's +Biblical nemisis. + A theological consultant to groups interested in UFOs said they may have +believed in a doctrine that claims UFOs are demons, and their presence ushers +in the end of the world. + Hutto's letter said they were "involved with a cult called End of the +World." However, the Army has said since last week that the cult did not +appear to be an outside organization, but rather a "clique" involving just +the six. + Hutto, however, said "their desertion was in some way associated with this +group and their search for unidentified flying objects." The letter went on to +say the incident "has raised serious questions about the military's screening +and character evaluation for personnel in highly sensitive posts." + Hutto, chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, said +he was interested in finding out if it was an isolated incident "or if a +problem with personnel background checks exists throughout the military." + "I also wish to learn the fault in the system which allows Army personnel +with ties to the occult to be assigned to intelligence-gathering positions," +the letter said. + Last week, when asked how someone with possible bizarre religious beliefs +could get into an Army intelligence unit, a military officer who asked not to +be identified said, "They may not have been that way when they went in. You +have to be an intelligent dude to get in it. And these were all good soldiers. +... There were no disciplinary problems prior to this." + The six have been identified as Michael Hueckstaedt, 19, Farson, Wyo.; Kris +Perlock, 20, Osceola, Wis.; Kenneth Beason, 26, Jefferson City, Tenn.; William +Setterberg, 20, Pittsburg; Vance Davis, 25, Vallye Center, Kan., and Annette +Eccleston, 22, whose hometown is not available. + +JULY 25, 1990 +AWOL Mystery Copyright, 1990. +The Associated Press.

(AP) -- Six soldiers charged with going AWOL from their +intelligence unit for what a friend described as a rendezvous with UFOs could +lose pay and rank under disciplinary terms offered Wednesday by the Army. + The six were reported missing from their units in Augsberg, West Germany, +on July 9 and arrested in Gulf Breeze, Fla., four days later. + They were offered the "non-judicial punishment" after an investigation +failed to find evidence of espionage, said Major Ron Mazzia, a spokesman for +Fort Knox, where they were being held. + The soldiers were given three days to consider the proposed disciplinary +action and could later be discharged, Mazzia said. + It was still unclear why the six, all from the 701st Military Intelligence +Brigade in Augsberg, traveled to Florida. + Stan Johnson of Bybee, Tenn., said the oldest member of the group, +Specialist Kenneth G. Beason, 26, told him they had been "chosen by ... divine +intervention to help prepare for the end of the world, which was supposed to +occur in about eight years from now. + "They were going to Florida to kick off preparations," said Johnson, a +friend of Beason's for several years who picked him up at the Knoxville, +Tenn., airport on arrival from Germany. + "The real interesting part of this," Johnson said, "was that when the +second coming of Christ occurred, Jesus Christ was going to arrive in a +spaceship." + Gulf Breeze, a beach town near Pensacola where Beason and others in the +group received training, has been the site of many reported UFO sightings. + Besides Beason, those charged were identified as Pfc.

Annette Eccleston, 22, of Hartford, Conn. + Capt. Kenneth Hicks of the Gulf Breeze police said that when he questioned +Hueckstaedt and Eccleston, neither spoke of religion or UFOs. + "Really the only thing they said is they were heading out West and they +were just going to kind of live out in the woods -- kind of like a survivalist +group," Hicks said. They mentioned Santa Fe, N.M., and Texas, he said. + Mazzia said the soldiers were AWOL for varying amounts of time, but the +longest was seven days. + The specific terms of the punishment, if they accept it, will be +determined by an officer acting almost as a sentencing judge. The soldiers +could lose pay or rank or both, and could be fined or given extra duty, Mazzia +said. + As they have lost their top-security clearances, the soldiers would have +to be retrained for other Army assignments, Mazzia said. + Instead, they could be discharged from the Army.

All rights reserved. +By CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN Associated Press Writer + + Six U.S. soldiers who went AWOL from intelligence posts in West Germany +and were arrested at a Florida beach known for UFO reports won't be +court-martialed. But many other questions about the bizarre case remain. + Were the six -- five men and a woman -- acting on "psychic input" from +biblical figures and preparing for the world's end, as a friend of one +suggested? + Did they plan to move to the West and live "like a survivalist group," as +a police captain said he was told by two in the group? + Or was there another explanation of the events that began unfolding when +the six, who held top-secret security clearances, left the 701st Military +Intelligence Brigade in Augsburg, West Germany, early this month? + "Don't judge them yet. They have a right to defend themselves," said Anna +Foster, at whose Gulf Breeze, Fla., home four of the six were arrested July +14. Ms. Foster, a civilian described by authorities as a psychic, is not +charged in the case and said she could not elaborate. + The Army offered the six "non-judicial punishment" -- no trial by +court-martial -- after an investigation by the Army Intelligence and Security +Command found no evidence of espionage, officials said Wednesday. + At Fort Knox, Ky., where the six were being held, Maj. Ron Mazzia said +they could receive reductions in pay or rank, or both, and could be fined. +Specific terms will be determined by an officer acting as a sentencing judge. + Having lost their security clearances, the six might be discharged, Mazzia +said. + They were reported missing in West Germany on July 9. On Friday the 13th, +Pfc. Michael Hueckstaedt was stopped in Gulf Breeze for driving a van with +non-working taillights. A computer check found him listed as absent without +leave. + Army information and a search of the van revealed the whereabouts of the +five other soldiers, Gulf Breeze police Capt. Kenneth Hicks said. + Besides Hueckstaedt, 19, of Farson, Wyo., they are Pfc. Kris Perlock, 20, +of Osceola, Wis.; Pfc. William Setterberg, 20, of Pittsburgh; Spc. Vance Davis, +25, of Valley Center, Kan.; Spc. Kenneth Beason, 26, of Jefferson City, Tenn., +and Sgt. Annette Eccleston, 22, of Hartford, Conn. + Hicks said Ms. Eccleston and Hueckstaedt said little when questioned by +him and the FBI. + "Really the only thing they said is they were heading out west and they +were just going to kind of live out in the woods, kind of like a survivalist +group," Hicks said. He said they mentioned Santa Fe, N.M., and Texas. + As the six were moved first to Fort Benning, Ga., and then to Fort Knox, +another story emerged. It focused on Beason, doing his second hitch in the +Army. + Beason had trained in Pensacola and dated and corresponded with Ms. Foster. +He always was interested in science fiction. Beason created miniature +spaceship models and other artwork and was trying to write a book, friends +said. + "He can draw or make anything, as long as it's not real," said Beason's +brother-in-law, Charles Reed. + Four or five years ago, Beason hired commercial photographer Stan Johnson +of Bybee, Tenn., to photograph some of his creations. Johnson and his wife, +Vivian, a former English teacher, helped him with his writing. They're in +their 50s and said they became a kind of second family for Beason. + During a two-week visit last Christmas, Beason seemed his usual self, but +in a few phone calls since May, he took a different turn. + "He just reeled and rambled and ranted," said Mrs. Johnson, describing one +call. + She said he thought "the disciples and some of the other spirits have +talked to him or else one of the other people in that group, the group that +was arrested -- and told them the Rapture is near and for them to prepare for +it." + Some fundamentalist Christians believe that during the Rapture, believers +will be swept to heaven before the world ends. Some relatives who helped raise +Beason after his parents divorced were fundamentalists, friends said. + Mrs. Johnson said Beason wouldn't be swayed when she questioned his +statements. + "He'd say, `You just don't understand. I am a chosen. ... I've been told +to do this,"' she said. + Do what, specifically? + Beason said he and the others would go to Florida on "a missionary project" +o prepare for the end, Stan Johnson said. "The real interesting part of this +was that, when the second coming of Christ occurred, Jesus Christ was going to +arrive in a spaceship." + Reed added: "He thinks he's doing ... what God wants him to." + Beason and Hueckstaedt found a used Volkswagen van after they flew from +West Germany to Tennessee and apparently picked up the other AWOL soldiers for +a drive to Gulf Breeze, a Florida Panhandle town whose claim to fame is the +number of reported sightings of unidentified flying objects. + A symposium of the Mutual UFO Network concluded there July 8, police said. + Lee Perlock, the mother of Kris Perlock, said her family was close and +their religious practices were mainstream. Other relatives of the soldiers +said the same thing about their religious backgrounds but were reluctant to +discuss details of discussions with them after the arrests. + Notified of the Army's disciplinary decision, Mrs. Perlock's husband, Ron, +reacted with relief. "This has been going on for so long, not knowing." + They hope to see their son soon. In the meantime, Mrs. Perlock said +softly, there are "a lot of unanswered questions." + +JULY 27, 1990 +Army discharges 6 `deserters' + + WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Six U.S. soldiers who were arrested in Florida for +leaving their military intelligence post in West Germany and who told friends +they were going to rendezvous with UFOs were discharged from the Army Friday. + "They have been released from their military obligation and they are +civilians again," an Army spokesman, Maj. Joseph Allred said. + The six soldiers -- five men and a Connecticut woman -- deserted their +post at the 701st Military Intelligence Brigade in Augsburg, West Germany, on +July 9 and were arrested in Gulf Breeze, Fla., near Pensacola, four days later. + The six, all cryptographers trained to break enemy codes, were +automatically charged with desertion because of their high security clearances +and were jailed at Fort Knox, Ky. + An Army counter-intelligence investigation did not turn up any evidence +that the soldiers were involved in espionage. As a result, they were offered +the opportunity to accept an "Article 15," which is a non-judicial punishment +process handled by the commander of the base. + The six soldiers accepted the offer, and the charges of desertion were +dropped down to the lesser Absent Without Leave, or AWOL. They were also +charged with possession of forged leave papers. + As sole punishment, Allred said, the six received a general discharge from +the Army, which falls between an honorable discharge and a dishonorable one. + During the course of their arrest and detention, friends of the six +soldiers said the six told them they left their military post to go to the +Pensacola area for religious reasons. + The six, according to their friends, believed the end of the world was +near and that Jesus Christ was going to arrive on a Pensacola beach on a UFO +to take believers up to heaven. They also said they were out to destroy the +"anti-Christ" who planned to sneak aboard. + The six are Kenneth G. Beason, 26, of Jefferson City, Tenn.; Michael +Hueckstaedt, 19, of Farson, Wyo.; Kris Perlock, 20, Osceola, Wis., William +Setterberg, 20, Pittsburgh; Vance Davis, 25, Valley Center, Kan.; and Annette +Eccleston, 22, Hartford, Conn. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Because of his efforts he has been subjected to +all kinds of problems and dirty tricks, the least of which was the army +trying to get his wife, a former Vietnamees national, deported from the +country. As a result of this last effort Clifford retired from the Army this +past Feburary, and currently is still fighting the Army for some of the +things that they tried to pull on him. +Just prior to his retirement Clifford was sent on a hardship tour to...you +guessed it...the 103rd Intelligence Battalion of the 701st Intelligence +Brigade, in Augsburg, Germany. During his tour over there he became +intimately aquainted with three of the deserters recently arrested in Gulf +Breeze, Florida. Clifford told me that on more than one occassion the three +would come to his quarters after duty hours and discuss with him the subject +of UFOs and occassionally they would call him over to the tunnels at brigade +headquarters and show him bits and pieces of information that they had +gathered during the course of their duties that dealt specifically with UFOs. +Clifford knew these people intimately for over a year. It is his contention +that the story that is being publicised about them being a cult group who +went AWOL to come to Gulf Breeze and meet the Anti-Christ on August the 6th +and kill him, is a bunch of crap. He has further stated that the three people +were professionals in every sense of the word. Another point that he brought +out that I find interesting is that they (the deserters) are being held at +Fort Benning, Georgia. He as well as I find this extremely interesting since +there are other military installations much closer and just as suited to +incarcerate them. +As it has been pointed out by various other people, it would seem that +something is afoot and the army is trying to cover it up. Either the +individuals in question came accross something that made them take the action +that they did, or the government sent them there and are covering the reason +why. +Another interesting point to consider is that civilian lawyers were refused +access to the 6, being told that they do not need civilian legal counsel as +the military will provide counsel to them. It's been my experience that if +the defendant, even in a military trial, wants to hire a lawyer outside of +the military, feeling that the military counsel will not provide an adequate +defence, then it is allowed. Even when it involves classified information. +It is my feeling that it is going to get extremely sticky.

In the final count, later, + apparently 8 Tons of the stuff was missing. There was a covert + landing strip just North of Archeleta and they were flying + it out of there. The troups blew the whole operation to hell + bringing down all entrances and totally destroyed the so call- + plastic worms, killing those within. All instrumentation was + destroyed. The whole area was closed and all people were bared + from the mountain; it is now administrated by the Drug Admin- + istration (U.S.), so it is finished.

In that effort, tremendous contact experiences occurred, and they were initiated by a relative few. However, not only was CSETI getting results, but we noticed that organizations all over the world were actively engaging ETI as well by using a wide variety of initiative techniques. + +It was also apparent that there was a need for communication and networking between all of these groups and individuals. There was so much to share and so much to research, but knowing who else was out there doing the same thing was a quandary. + +For this reason, Steve Dean (former CSETI Chair of Working Group Operations) and I felt the need for an 'Open and Supportive Newtwork' of individuals and groups who are striving to create their own contact reality. A reality that is mutually peaceful and productive...not only between us and Extraterrestrial Intelligences, but also between each other. + +A forum is needed in which any and all techniques implemented in attempting contact with ETI can be explored and shared. Total flexibility allows broader exploration, and freedom of choice stimulates creativity. + +Likewise, all findings of any group or individual are valuable and helpful. Contactees can enjoy sharing openly as well as exploring the implications of those experiences.

COOPER + +FILE: UFO2205 + + +I threw this little text file together in order to clear up +some confusion, and to start a discussion. For those of you +who have been through any of Uncle Sugar's more esoterical +schools it's pretty obvious there's a major propaganda push +going on now. The only question that needs to be answered is +"Why now?" Maybe this little nugget will point the way to an +answer..... +In the text file concerning the lecture given by one Milton +William Cooper on November 17,1989 at the "Whole Life Expo" +in Los Angeles he expounds on the usual EBE's and alien +technology retroengineering. However things took an +incredible turn when he fielded questions from the audience. +Let me give credit now to David E. Stewart who transcribed +the lecture by Mr. Cooper. Whenever feasible direct quotes +from sources will be used. +After expounding on the JFK assassination the transcript +reads, "Regrettably the next question was totally +unintelligble, but thankfully Mr. Cooper had a good pulic +address system to amplify his reply, The first moon landing +was May 22, 1962... or excuse me that was the first landing +on Mars. I'm sorry that was the winged probe that used a +hydrozine propeller (hydrazine propellant?) flew around +approximately three orbits and landed on May 22, 1962 it aws +a joint United States/Russian endeavor. The first time that +we landed on the moon was sometime during the ... probably +middle 50's, because at the time when President Kennedy +stated that he wanted a man to set foot on the moon by the +end of the decade we already had a base there." +"What about Mars?" came another quick question. +"We have a base on Mars also", Cooper calmly replied. "When +did that happen?" addressed someone. "I don't know the exact +date but I know the projrct's name, it was Adam and Eve." +The questions went off another tangent and then things got +curiouser and curiouser. As the transcript reads," On an +unrelated note an older gentleman asked, "Does that mean +that Alternative-3 is true?" +"Alternative-3 is absolutely true and so is Alternative-2." +In Mr. Stewart's after action report or synopsis of the +lecture he states, "The Alternative-2 and Alternative-3 that +were referred to briefly are [just guessing now] two +government contingency plans to 1) Declare martial law and +invalidate the Constitiution on the premise that a terrorist +group had entered the country with a nuclear weapon with +plans to detonate it in a major city. All dissidents would +then be rounded up and placed in concentration camps and the +press and media would be nationalized. All this if the +information becomes public they want it to or if the aliens +attempt a takeover, and 2) Another contingency plan to +contain or delay the release of this information, the +details of which I am probably wrong about anyway." +Well Mr. Stewart you certainly were wrong this time in your +analysis of Alternative-2 and Alternative-3. I will now +attempt to explain the Alternatives. To do so I will be +drawing upon the extensive research done nearly 20 years ago +by an independent television show crew. There is an Avon +paperback titled, "Alternative 003" the book is based upon +the original research and interviews conducted in 1977. This +explains the dual copyrights for the book. The copyrights +are: "original television script copyright 1977 by David +Ambrose & Christopher Miles +book version copyright 1978 by Leslie Watkins. The first +Avon printing was in June 1979. An investigative reporter +for an ITC affiliate decided to do a segment on "the brain +drain." For those of you who don't know your current history +the "brain drain" was the name given to the phenomenon of +the better scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and +physicians leaving hte U.K. in droves in the 60's and 70's. +There were two main reasons for this mass emigration: 1) The +British tax structure{ up to 90% income tax } and 2) The +infamous British Government Beauracracy. Things were so bad +the Beatles and the Rolling Stones (among others) changed +their citizenship for tax purposes.While gathering +background for the story the reporter found 3 individuals +who were leaving England,they were a senior lecturer in +Mathematics named Robert Patterson,a research scientist +specializing in Solar Energy named Dr. Ann Clark +and a former RAF electronics wizard named Brian Pendlebury. +A preliminary interview was done with Dr. Clark by the film +crew and more were scheduled. During the initial interview +she had been an excellent subject. She was articulate and +felt it important to explain to people why exactly +scientists were flocking away from Britain. However shortly +after the first visit by the film crew in January of 1976 +she was visited by "a strange American." +He had made no appointment and just turned up, everyone +assumed he was connected with her new job. The American +talked to her privately for a long time afterwards friends +and co-workers said she seemed upset. She refused to say +anything whatsoever about what he wanted or what they +discussed. That American went to her flat that night and +stayed for three hour. After that evening her attitude to +those around her and to the Sceptre Television people +changed remarkably. She did her work as well as ever but +became "oddly" withdrawn. It was as if she had pulled a +curtain around herself. One of her colleagues, an elderly +man, said: " I started noticing that she was sometimes +looking at me - and at others - with a funny sort of +expression in her eyes. It aws almost as if for some reason +or other, she felt sorry for us. All a bit odd..." +Dr. Ann Clark left Norwich in a rented car on February 22, +1976. She left without working out her notice because as she +explained the Americans were in a hurry to have her. So she +became part of the Brain Drain. But she has never shown up +at the company in California she said was hiring her. +Brian Pendlebury was thirty three when he became part of the +Brain Drain in July 1974.Before vanishing he had acquired a +taste for travel when after getting a degree in electronics, +he had become a special projects officer with the RAF. +Five months after leaving the service he applied for a job +with a major electronics firm in Sydney Australia. He +promoised to write to his parents regularly and send lots of +photographs. For five months his parents got a letter a week +and lots of pictures. Pictures of Brian surfing, with +friends at a nightclub, even a picture of Brian in front of +Sydney Harbour bridge. Everything was fine except for a few +disconcerting facts... +Brian Pendlebury did not live at the address shown on his +letters. The company for which he claimed to be working +insist they have never heard of him. As far as anyone could +discover Pendlebury never got to Australia. +Forty two year old Robert Patterson had a favorite hate +subject and that was Britain's tax scale. His friends at the +University of St. Andrews where he was a senior lecturer had +heard it all many times. As he was fond of saying, " In +Germany the most a man has to pay in taxes is only 56% And +in America it was only 50% But here in Britain it's 83%!! +Most people at the university were actually relieved when he +announced he and his wife Eileen were going to America and +taking their two children off for a fresh start in America. +All he would say about his new job was that he had been, +"invited on an interesting project."It seemed he had landed +a real choice gig. Most of his colleagues weren't really +suprised as he was recognized as on of the most brilliant +mathematicians in Britain. It was just a pity he was such a +bore. +Patterson announced his news at the beginning of February of +1976 and a paragraph appeared in the Guardian. A researcher +at Sceptre Televisionsaw the paragraph and called Patterson +up. Eventually he convinced him to do an interview at his +home the following tuesday morning at eleven o'clock. +That tuesday morning Colin Benson who was the television +reporter sent ot do the interview found the house locked and +obviously empty. The Patterson's according to their +neighbors had driven off in a hurry at lunchtime on that +saturday. The family's car was found abandoned in London. +The Patterson's Robert, Eileen, sixteen year old Julian and +fourteen year old Kate have not been seen since. +Now for the weirdness... Ann Clark's rented car was found +and filmed as part of the television documentary at the car +park on number three Heathrow Airport. There was another +abandoned car nearby in the same lot. A blue LandRover. It +belonged to Robert Patterson however this was discovered +months later and would have never have been discovered if +not for the weirdness surrounding Brian Pendlebury. +As was stated earlier Brian Pendlebury was the third subject +for the television show. Colin Benson was interviewing +Brian's parents he recorded the whole conversation with +their permission. +------------------------------------------------------------ +The Pendlebury's were together on the sofa, facing colin +over tea. "So we were a bit disappointed of course when he +stopped writing but we didn't give it much thought at +first," said Mr. Pendlebury. He re-lit his pipe and took a +few puffs. "Our Brian never was much of one for writing." +"So how did you find out?" asked Benson. "I mean about him +not being there..." + "It was Mrs. Prescott over there at number nine," said +Pendlebury. "She was the one who found out. Her daughter +Beryl emigrated out there... what would it be... five years +ago now?" +"Six years said Mrs. Pendlebury. "Seven come September." +------------------------------------------------------------ +To sum up the gist of the conversation, not only had they +discovered the address given them by their son was false +they had the original note in their son's handwriting giving +them the address. They also had a letter from the head of +personnel at the electronics firm stating that they had +never heard of him. While on the train Colin studied the +pictures of Brian given him by the Pendleburys. Upon +returning to the studios he had a photographer make copy +negatives of the outdoor photographs and then had them +reprinted as large blowups. When the blowups were done it +was obvious! In every picture including the one of Brian +Pendlebury surfing and the one of him by the Sydney Harbor +Bridge-there were three birds in the sky. Those birds were +identical in every picture and so were their positions. +There was sometrhing else he saw. The pattern formations of +the wispy clouds were exactly the same in each picture. +That was when they started digging........ +Here are a few of the things they uncovered: it seems that +in this television show they were given a videotape which +they aired . They describe it so..... +"All that could be seen at first was a haze of colours and +uncertain shapes. There was a whirling blur of confusion +multi-coloured dust dervishes glimpsed crazily through a +tumbling kaleidoscope-and nothing nothing more. +Then the picture cleared and the camera seemed to be +skimming low over a wild and barren landscape. No vegetation +no suggestion of life. Just mile after mile of wilderness +and brown-red desolation. +Sounds of static. Then faintly, of men cheering and finally +there were the American voices-from the Space Control Room +at NASA: +FIRST VOICE: Okay...try to scan. +SECOND VOICE:Scanning now. +FIRST VOICE:The readings...where are the readings? +At that moment, superimposed over the scanning of the alien +landscape viewers saw the printed word temperature. Almost +instantaneously, that word was duplicated in Russian. Now +there was a great outburst of Russian voices. Excited, +jubilant then once again the +SECOND VOICE:Wait for it...w-a-i-t for it... Come on baby +don't fail now... not after all this way... +Digits appeared alongside the words on the screen. The +temperature they showed was four degrees Centigrade. More +printed words- Windspeed-in American and then Russian. +The first American voice was shouting triumphantly: It's +okay ...it's good, it's good! A Russian voice equally +ecstatic carried the same message. +Then the screen started giving the most vital information of +all-information in English and Russian, about the atmosphere +of that strange and distant territory. +The words were coming painfully incredibly slowly. Then +later from the screen come the shrieks and whoops of joy. +The first American voice could be heard shouting over the +din: On the nose! Hallelujah! We got air boys...we're home! +Jesus...we've done it...we got air! +His yells of excitement and similar ones from his Russian +counterpart were drowned by the crescendo of cheering. +During a lull in that cheering the second American voice +could be heard saying:That's it! We got it...we got it! Boy +if they ever take the wraps off this thing, it's going to be +the biggest date in history! May 22,1962. We're on the +planet Mars-and we have air!" + + + + + +So what does all this have to do with the Alternative Three +question? Welllll......... According to various sources +including one of the astronauts who landed on the moon, +there is a permanent base near the western border of the +Mare Imbrium named Archimedes Base. There is also a colony +on Mars. This is most likely the Project Adam and Eve Mr. +Cooper is referring to. All of this was done in response to +a conference held in Huntsville Alabama in 1957. +A Dr. Gerstein claimed that he had delivered a briefing to +CIA (among others) representatives which proved the climatic +changes indicated that there was a greenhouse effect. +Remember this is 1957. He then went on to brief them on The +Alternatives. +As it had been determined that Earth would in fact become +uninhabitable in a finite time a way had to be found to +insure the survival of the human race. Three solutions had +been found : Alternative 1 was to punch a hole in the +atmosphere thereby releasing the carbon dioxide and some of +the thermal energy. This was to be done with "strategically +placed thermonuclear devices" in the upper atmosphere. This +would be followed with a drastic restructuring of day to day +life. Of course all carbon dioxide emissions would be +banned. Private ownership of any internal combustion engine +would be outlawed. open flames, etc etc etc +Alternative 2 was to move selected individuals to +underground areas. It seems that there is extensive evidence +of underground cities and interconnecting tunnel systems +discovered under South America, China, Russia, America, and +all over Eurasia. +Alternative 3 was to move some humans to another world. +Russia and The U.S. have been cooperating since the 50's on +the real Space program since.One of the major reasons for +keeping Alt.3 secret is the use of altered human beings for +the grunt work. There are five workers for every "designated +mover." People are sugically and chemically adjusted to +follow orders. They have an average life expectancy of +fifteen years. +If anyone doubts the ability to do this to people against +their will, I refer you to Project MK Ultra. MK Ultra was +responsible for the LSD testing of the 50's and 60's as well +as other forms of mind control (lobotomies, ECT, and +RHIC-EDOM, et al). + Well I'm getting crosseyed from the Jolt Colas so I'll stop +typing now. Read the book I found my copy in a used +paperback store. Another book that dovetails with +Alternative 003 is a Dell paperback entitled Operation Mind +Control by W.H.Bowart with an intro by Richard Condon +copyright 1978. If anyone can find out how to purchase a +copy of the videotape of the Sceptre Television Documantary +on Alternative Three leave a message on this BBS for Lamont +Cranston. +Please read Alternative 003 there are so many pieces of +supporting evidence that seem to link together with other +sources that it is either the truth or an amazingly +consistent dis-information campaign that's been going on for +over 25 years. If you think the claims I've listed are +fantastic the book will blow you away! +------------------------------------------------------------ +------------------------------------------------------------ +------------ June 30 1994 by Lamont Cranston +------------------------------------------------------------ +- + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Is there something in the UFO phenomenon that proves + the existence of extraterrestrials? Let's look at the facts. + + Thousands of people from all around the world report the + sightings of strange aerial phenomenon every year. It has been + going on for many years, but not as much as from 1947 to present. + Due to the fact that so many people have seen objects in the sky + that they can't identify, we could at least admit that there is + sufficient reason to believe that UFO's exist. We can't + scientifically prove their existence just based on that fact but + we can't ignore it either. So our next logical step would be to + get more data. + + Is the origin of all UFO's extraterrestrial? Is there a + possibiliy that at least some may come from Earth and Earth + technology? The answer to that question is yes, some are Earth + originated. People can easily mistake a plane or helicopter + flying at night as a UFO and have already. Some even thought that + Venus was one. However, while most UFO's could be explained, + there are an astonishing number of reports that cannot. They + include reports from people such as police chiefs, scientists, + pilots, and most interestingly, astronauts. There is plenty of + information publically available that is reputable about details + of their encounters. + + Our next step should be to concentrate on these unexplainable + sightings. Out of these, is it still possible that the objects + could come from Earth? Dr. Renato Vesco thought so. In his book + "Intercept UFO," he writes about his experience and information + with Nazi Germany. I am going to include a paper written by him + but first let me tell you his credentials. + + Renato Vesco is a fully liscensed aircraft engineer and a + specialist in aerospace and ramjet developements. He attended + the University of Rome and, before WWII, studied at the German + Institute for Aerial Developement. During the war, Vesco worked + with the Germans at the Fiat Lake Garda secret installations in + Italy. In the 1960's, he worked for the Italian Air Ministry of + Defense as an undercover technical agent, investigating the UFO + mystery. + + Page 1 + + + + + He writes: + + "On November 27, 1944, a B-27 of the United States Air Force, + returning from a raid on Speyer, West Germany, encountered a + huge, orange colored light moving upward at an estimated speed + of 500 MPH. When the pilots reported, sector radar had + reported negatively, because nothing had registered on the + screen. + + But the object seen by the returning bomber was only the first of + numerous others spotted by American pilots over wartime Germany + and promptly baptized 'foo-fighters.' + + Fighter pilots Falls and Backer, of the 415th Squadron, + reported such an encounter a month later forcing the Air Force to + admit that such objects might exist. Later encounters with foo + fighters led experts to assume they were German inventions of a + new order employed to baffle radar. + + How close they came to the truth, they learned only when the + war was over and Allied Intelligence teams moved into the secret + Nazi plants. The foo-fighters seen by American pilots were only a + minor demonstration, a fraction of a vast variety of methods used + to confuse radar and interrupt electro magnetic currents. + + Work on the German anti-radar Feurball, or fireball, had been + speeded up during the fall of 1944 at a Luftwaffe experimental + center near Oberammergau, Bavaria. There, and at the aeronautical + establishment at Weiner Neustadt, the first fireballs were + produced. Later, when the Russians moved closer to Austria, the + workshops producing the fireballs were moved to the Black Forest. + + Fast and remote controlled, the fireballs, equipped with + klystron tubes operating on the same frequency as Allied radar, + which could eliminate the blips from radar screens. This allowed + them to remain practically invisible to ground control. + + The Nazi Feurball failed to interfere with the Allied air + offensive. The foo fighters had been launched too late and could + no longer change the course of events, but in themselves they were + significant not only because they were the outcome of a technical + evolution which could have led to more dangerous weapons, but also + because they showed that Nazi technology had moved in a direction + far beyond anything expected by Allied Intelligence. + + As the fall of Germany approached, the Nazi Leaders reverted + to an ambitious project created by Gauleiter Franz Hofer who had + become high commissioner for the Italian Tyrol and the Southern + Alps. The project foresaw setting up an incredible fortress in + the mountains, including parts of Italy, Austria and Bavaria. + + Hofer submitted his plan to Hitler's aide, Martin Bormann in + November 1944, having prepared for this moment back in 1938 when + Nazi agents carefully mapped all mountain passes, caves, bridges, + highways, and located sights for underground factories, munitions + dumps, arms and food caches. To complete work on this fortress, + Hofer demanded a slave labor force of a quarter of a million, to + be composed of 70% Austrian workers and 30% men of the Tyrolese + home guard. + + + Page 2 + + + + + So-called U-Plants were to be set up underground as gigantic + workshops and launching pads for the secret weapons which were to + turn the tide of the war in favor of the Nazis. + + Among these were some 74 tunnels along Lake Garda, in + Northern Italy, which were to be adapted and transformed into a + vast assembly plant by FIAT of Turin in close collaboration with + the department of Minister Albert Speer. Seven other tunnels + along Lake Garda, near Limone, were to produce several weapons + tested at the Hermann Goering Institute of Riva del Garda. + + According to the archives of the German High Command and of + the Allied Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee, other + plants in vital areas of Central Germany, code named M-Werke, were + to produce powerful missles such as the giant A.9/A.10 destined to + destroy New York and Washington. But most important was the + Alpine area, for it was from there that the supreme weapons were + to come. + + This report, never released by the Allies, was made by a + French diplomat. It was forwarded to Free French Intelligence + Headquarters at Algiers. The top secret report reffered to the + blue clouds as something approaching anti-aircraft projectiles + based on the grisou (fire damp) gas found in mines, and which had + been succesfully tried against other bombers over Lake Garda. + + The French report was intercepted by Italian agents and + deciphered at SID (Italian Counter-Intelligence) Headquarters at + Castiglione della Stiviere. The message was later captured by a + military intelligence team operating for the eighth Army in Italy. + + The contents of the message was no novelty to the Allies. + Already, some time ago, shortly after the bombing of Dresden, + British and American intelligence had obtained a brief account + concerning the use of some such weapon used against a group of + twelve American bombers. + + That message, which came from an agent in Switzerland + attached to Allen Dulle's team, also stated the attacker had been + + "a strange hemispherical object which flew at fantastic speeds + and destroyed the bombers without using firearms.' + + Then, after the German surrender in May, 1945, a team of + British agents, investigating the files of some of the underground + factories in the Black Forest, discovered that a large number of + documents concerned 'important experiments made with LIQUID OXYGEN + for new turbine engines capable of developing extraordinary + power.' + + Other documents described the use of 'gaseous explosives' + which had been originally tested in Austria in 1936. Their + existence was later confirmed by the ALSOS Mission and by Dr. Hans + Friedrich Gold, of the Laboratory for Aeronautical Research at + Volkenrode. The ejection of gas explosives had been part of the + program tackled by researchers on Lake Garda and later tested with + success by the circular flying object against Allied bombers. This + object, in German military files, already had an operational name: + 'Round Lightning' (Kugelblitz). + + + Page 3 + + + + + Long and close observation between the special Air Research + Corps of the SS, Austrian research centers in Vienna, the Hermann + Goering Works and the vast complex of underground G-Works had + previously produced amazing improvement on the fireball or foo- + fighter which, despite it's anti-radar effectiveness, remained + comparatively harmless. But by combining the principle of the + aircraft with a round, symmetrical plane with direct gyroscopic + stabilization, employing an ejector-gun using grisou and a + gelatinous organic/mettalic fuel for a total reaction turbine, + adding remote control, vehicle take off, infrared seeking + equipment and electrostatic firing systems, the harmless fireball + became the lethal Kugelblitz! + + Believe me, I can prove what I say (Vesco). The Kugelblitz, + to be on the safe side, employed, in addition to it's + electrostatic firing system, a similar system based on short waves + and built by the Patent Verwertungs Gesselschaft of Salzburg, + Austria. The whole thing formed one compact, round mass which had + absolutely nothing in common with any flying object ever produced + before. + + In documents found by British Intelligence teams and + submitted to the British Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee - + documents which I have been able to study - these and many other + details are known. They can be found in the Sub-Committee's + Final Report Number 61 on the 'Weapons Section of the L.F.A., + Volkenrode.' + + Kugelblitz, together with it's "younger brothers of the + fireball, lens-shaped bomb and other weapons, began the real + history of the UFO's. In itself, it was a second generation + fireball. + + The 'round lightning' weapon, the incredibly fast and + mysterious disk-shaped craft that had been rumored and sighted in + action, was used only once. As the Allied forces crossed the + Rhine, the only craft of it's type was destroyed by the SS on + instructions from Berlin, to prevent it's capture. But ever + since, due to the severe censorship imposed by 'T' force of the + British Army in Germany, and later, thanks to the complete + blackout imposed by London, nothing more was heard of "Round + Lightning." + + I know that agents of the 'T' force camp at Bad Gandersheim + closely examined the documents found in the G-Works, documents + which had been elaborated by the technical general staff of the SS + and by technical control of the Henshel and Zeppelin works. These + documents concern the propulsion unit of the Kugelblitz prototype + built by the Kreislaufbetrieb Motor D.W. in 1943 for the F.F.K.F. + (Forschungsinstitut for Kraftfhart and Fahzeugmotoren) at + Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim and perfected by Professors Kamm and + Ernst. + + The British called this motor an 'oxygen recycle system.' It + was later abandoned in favor of the Walter turbine, powered by + hydrogen peroxide. The documents found discussed the possibility + of using both systems in a compound-type propulsion unit. + + To these basic facts, I must add: A mass of documents and + equipment were taken by British 'T' teams to Bedford and then to + Canada and Australia. + Page 4 + + + + + In a certain sense, the British were more intelligent than + the Americans, for they permitted German scientists to complete + their work in Germany on the sight where they had worked all + through the war - only, of course, under close supervision. This + happened at Darmstadt and Goettingen. + + Later on, these installations were dismantled and shipped to + Britain. The Transport Service of the British Ministry of + Aviation discreetly shipped the scientists and documents to + Britain, Canada and Australia, in successive phases. Lists of + the scientists to be sent overseas had been compiled in the spring + of 1944 by the B.I.O.S. and formed separate and specialized + teams. + + One such team, composed of Proffessor Ben Lockspeiser and + W.J. Richards, Dr. S.H . Hollingdale and C aptain A.D. Green, + handled 'advanced projects, missles, jet and turbine craft.' + Another, including T.A. Taylor and M.A. Wheeler, investigated + German advances in the field of Thermo-refraction. Another team, + which obtained the services of Dr. Ernst Westermann, former + director of the F.D.R.P. Institutes of Speyer and Saarbrucken, + concentrated on the fireball projects. + + The then Ministry of Aircraft Production, similar to the + German wartime Jaegerstab, ceased to exist officially on March 31, + 1946, and became part of the Ministry of Supply. + + In the years that followed, these teams, and especially the + experts headed by Professor Lockspeiser, worked on a multitude of + German projects, adapting these to their own experiments in the + field of 'suction' wings and on the work of two German scientists + during the war, Professors Prandtl and Busemann, to develop a high + speed fighter in which the air intake along the wings was + discharged through a half-moon-shaped crescent along the fuselage + in order to both drive and support the vehicle at high speeds. + + This research comes to mind when one remembers the incident + of January 3, 1956. A Cessna, employed on a job of aerial + photography near Pasadena, encountered three circular flying + objects which circled it at a speed of 1600 mph and at a distance + of two miles. One of these objects, in suddenly breaking away + from the formation, gave off a long, vaporous trail as it sped + through a cumulous cloud, cutting the cloud in two. 'Exactly as + if it had sucked up the cloud., ' the Cessna pilot exclaimed + later. + + Back in 1946, the British Broadcasting Corporation announced + that Britain 'would soon have aircraft capable of speeds well over + 1000 mph, that, according to some experts, such craft had already + been built and that, in the near future, they could circumnavigate + the globe several times because they needed only fuel for take off + and landing..' + + Other British sources mentioned aircraft capable of speeds of + several thousand miles an hour. + + More than twenty years have passed since the otherwise so- + eminently-careful BBC boasted of 'Britain's planes of the future,' + and officially these aircraft still remain little more than a + dream. And yet, did not Ben Lockspeiser, the man who was in + + Page 5 + + + + + charge of the most responsible 'T' teams, declare that 'such craft + would need no fuel?' Did he not imply that such craft would gain + their own propellant from the atmosphere by suction and expulsion? + + On June 26, 1953, an intensely luminous flying object + majestically crossed the night sky of Albacete, Spain, at an + altitude of 60 miles. + + In Britain, scientific papers produced by members of the 'T' + teams showed suggestive titles such as 'Boundary Layer Flow Over a + Permeable Surface Through Which Suction is Applied' (J.H. + Preston), 'The Aerodynamics of Porous Sheets' by G.J. Taylor, and + Pankhurst's Aerofoil Catalogue. + + In 1959, aeronautical engineer N.S. Currey wrote: 'Canada + today must be counted among the most advanced aeronautical powers + in the world', and added cautiously, 'This refers above all to the + field of jet propulsion.' + + The Canadian Department of Mines and the Technical Surveys + Mapping Branch reserved a vast area - 125,000 square miles - for + production of experimental aircraft. This was one of the + decisions reached by the committees of the Commonwealth Conference + on Aeronautical Research. This desolate, heavily woooded and + mountainous region between British Columbia and Alberta, with the + Peace River district as it's Northern frontier and Washington + State to the South, was an ideal location - few and easily + controlled roads, few settlements, few railroads, but good + communications in the north and the south via the trunk line from + Prince George to Edmonton and that from Vancouver to the United + States border, and only one major highway, to Alaska. + + Britain already had considerable wartime experiance in this + sort of enterprise. In 1942, at the height of the German raids, + the RAF had set up five secret airports in the very heart of the + New Forest, in Hampshire. + + The big thing about these installations was the fact that + they included complete industrial plants, decentralizing major + groups essential for war production. They were called 'shade + workshops.' The Germans, too, had much experience in this field. + One of their major plants at Volkenrode resisted all attempts at + aerial identification throughout the war. + + Neither the British nor the Americans, on an official level, + saw eye to eye in scientific matters at the close of the war + against Germany and afterward. + + The United States' refusal to share atomic secrets with + Britain was never quite forgotten in Whitehall, and Britain set + out to prove, with Canada, that she was well able to produce her + own fission bomb. If Congress steadfastly accused the British of + giving little or nothing in return for information, the British + felt they had been mistrusted and severely neglected. They + preferred to go ahead with their plans in Canada. + + The fact that the area has been photographed again and again + by high altitude reconnaissance planes, both U.S. and Russian, + does not perturb the Canadian or British authorities. The plants + and saucer ports are underground, hidden in primeval forests of + Columbia. + Page 6 + + + + + The question immediately arises: Why have not Britain and + Canada made such craft available to their other partners in the + North Atlantic Treaty Organization? + + I (Vesco) believe there may be many answers to such a + question, but one of the main points is this: Lack of confidence + and fear of being exploited remain rife among the nations, as they + are among people. And why should not Britain and her Commonwealth + partner retain one major trump card which, one day, may become + invaluable? The pooling of scientific secrets is rarely entirely + sincere. + + All the evidence, all the knowhow of British scientists + before and during the last war, combined with the astounding + progress in propulsion and the discoveries in suction aircraft of + the Germans, based on 18 years of research into the most secret + documents of the past war, have convinced me of one thing : + + The flying saucers do not come from space. + They come from a few hundred miles outside the United States. + They mean no harm, and Washington knows this. + Hence the long standing order to all U.S. Air Force pilots: + Intercept--but do not fire upon." + + + This article, which appeared in Argosy Magazine in August, + 1969, is reprinted above in it's entirety. It is important + because it is one of the few reports that goes into detail about + the revolutionary technical advancements made by the Nazi's in the + field of aeronautical research. + + Unfortunately, Vesco doesn't offer any real substantiation + for the existence of the Kugelblitz, which is the crux of his + subject. However, in his book "Intercept, UFO," he tells us that + the Kugelblitz was indeed tested some time in February, 1945 over + the great underground complex at Kahla, in Thuringia. Both the + Kugelblitz and the Feurball were then destroyed by the retreating + S.S. + + So, could this story be considered fact? We have to take into + consideration a number of issues. First and foremost, there is + the Nazi's. Could they have been developing craft of such + advancement? + + History has it that not only were they at war, which required + much in the way of manpower, but they took on incredible projects + such as constructing huge underground complexes at Nordhausen in + the Harz mountains, Pennemunde and others. They also had their + Naval Vessals provide support for a very detailed study of the + Antartic in which they were alleged to have been building + underground bases there as well. + + General Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfuhrer as his S.S. men + would call him, was quite frankly, a madman. He believed in + obediance, controlled breeding and vivisection of humans. He + believed in biological mutation and what could be produced with + it. He used the slaves for his work force, as well as specimens + for research. + + + + Page 7 + + + + + Let's discuss this possibility more in the message boards in + Paranet and the UFO echos. I am starting to get quite tired of + the theory that UFO's and related matters, are extraterrestrial. + + + It is being shoved down our throats by figures like "Falcon" + and "Condor" as well as articles in Paranet like MUGGER.DOC and + PICNIC2.DOC. As a matter of fact, that is about all I hear + anymore. It seems that since we want to hear about EBE's, the + so-called, Intelligence Community, is giving us just what we want + to hear. + + I call on each and every person in the UFO community to + research, in depth, HUMAN history. In particular, great scientists + such as, Tesla and his experiments; Einstein's theories; Germany's + secret weapons of the Second World War by R. Lusar; the + Philadelphia Exp eriment; Admiral Byrd's Project Highjump; books + and periodicals about Nazi Germany and their interest in + Antartica; then tell me that the possibility of technology (Earth + Technology) could not possibly exist that could explain UFO's and + the reason why it is above top secret. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + This above fascinating document was obtained from Paranet + and courteously furnished to Vangard by A.J. McDonald. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + Vangard Sciences includes the following material to assist + in further research and understanding of this phenomenon. + 01/26/90 + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + There is much available material which can be related + to the above referrences to the Kugleblitz. + + Among these, we can include plasma/ion field drive systems as + developed from the Searle disc, the implosion/impansion effect of + Viktor Schauberger, the German secret weapon referred to as the + "whirlwind cannon", Tesla's "Mechanical Oscillator" and additional + UFO reports over the past two decades. + + We will deal with these individually in order to delineate a + specific relationship for those who might not be familiar with + such topics. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + Plasm/ion field drive systems + + Many sightings, especially those at night, report glowing or + lighted objects which move at high speed. The Searle effect was + produced by the spinning of a metal disc at very high speed which + levitated momentarily, then took off under its' own power. The + principle is directly related to the Biefeld/Brown effect and + electrostatic replusion. Voltages beginning at 50 KV and up when + applied to two plates acting as capacitors will produce a thrust + away from the planet. This thrust is due to an attractive force + + + Page 8 + + + + + from the positive plate and a repellent force from the negative. + If the force is of sufficient electrical potential, a plasma + (cloud of ionized gases) will be formed. + + In the Searle case, it was believed that "free electrons" + were centrifugally thrown towards the outside rim to accumulate + the necessary potential for the lift. + + The mention of the klystron in the early "Foo fighters" is + again interesting in that it provides a clue to a superior means + of creating the plasma levitation field locally. Klystrons and + magnetrons are used in microwave ovens to generate the intense, + focussed local microwave field for cooking. This indicates that + application to an appropriate surface at a specific frequency, + might excite the surrounding air sufficiently to generate the + plasma. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + Implosion/Impansion + + Viktor Schauberger discovered that all Nature operates with a + dual principle, centripetence and centrifugence. Centripetence + was called by Schauberger "Implosion or Impansion" to indicate a + vortex action which condensed and cooled in the process. + Experiments carried out by Schauberger included a levitating + effect which could be acheived with the use of water or air. + There are reports that during WWII, Schauberger actually assisted + in the construction of a levitation craft under orders of the + German military. + + From "German Weapons and Secret Weapons of the 2nd WW and their + Further Development" by Rudolf Lusar : + + "The development, (relating to flying saucers) which had cost + millions, was almost complete by the end of the war. No + doubt the existing models were destroyed, although the plant + in Breslau, where Miethe worked, fell into the hands of the + Russians, who removed all the material and technical + personnel to Siberia, where further work on these "flying + saucers" has been carried on with much success. Schriever + just managed to get out of Prague in time, Habermohl, on the + other hand, must be in the Soviet Union. + + The former German designer Miethe is in the USA and, as far + as can be determined, is designing "flying saucers" for A.V. + Roe & Co. The machines, which have been observed to date, + have diameters in the order of 16, 42, 45 and 75 metres and + they are supposed to develop a speed of up to 7,000 km/hour. + + Already in 1952 "flying saucers" had been indisputably + recognised over Korea and according to press reports, were + also observed and reported during NATO manoeuvres in Alsace + in the spring of 1954." + + In a letter written by Schauberger to a friend, he gives further + information from his direct experience with the German military : + + "The "flying saucer" which was flight-tested on the 19th + February 1945 near Prague and which attained a height of + + Page 9 + + + + + 15,000 metres in 3 minutes and a horizontal speed of 2,200 + km/hours, was constructed according to a Model 1 built at + Mauthausen concentration camp in collaboration with the + first-class engineers and stress-analysts ASSIGNED TO ME from + the prisoners there. + + It was only after the end of the war that I came to hear, + through one of the workers UNDER MY DIRECTION, a Czech, THAT + FURTHER INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT WAS IN PROGRESS: however, there + was no answer to my enquiry. + + From what I understand, just before the end of the war, the + machine is SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED on Keitel's + orders. That's the last I heard of it. + + In this affair, several armament specialists were also + involved who appeared at the works in Prague, shortly before + my return to Vienna, and asked that I DEMONSTRATE the + fundamental basis of it: The CREATION OF AN ATOMIC LOW- + PRESSURE ZONE, which DEVELOPS IN SECONDS when either AIR or + WATER IS CAUSED TO MOVE RADIALLY AND AXIALLY under conditions + of a FALLING TEMPERATURE GRADIENT." + + This principle is without doubt to my mind, the "suction + craft" referred in the previous Vesco article. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + The "Whirlwind Cannon" + + There are reports of another fantastic secret weapon which + was constructed and used during WWII. This weapon was said to use + air as its "bullet" and could knock down a brick wall at a range + of several miles. On the KeelyNet board (214) 324-3501, there is + a file VORTXGUN.ZIP (or .ASC if using a non-IBM system) which + gives a short description of work done in the US on vortex + principles. Personal discussions I have had with various informed + researchers indicates that a plasma weapon using vortex principles + is currently in research if not already here. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + Tesla's Mechanical Oscillator + + Another device invented by Tesla was the Mechanical + Oscillator which compressed air until the oxygen became a liquid. + It was built in the form of an air cylinder and contained several + chambers, each of which successively cools the air until it + becomes liquid. Tesla stated that the device was highly efficient + and could be used as a power generating system if magnets were + attached to the oscillating pistons. + + Refer to the above comments about "oxygen recycle system" and + 'important experiments made with LIQUID OXYGEN for new turbine + engines capable of developing extraordinary power.' + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + + + + Page 10 + + + + + + UFO Reports + + Speed measurements of UFO's made with the use of radar have + been reported up to 5,000 MPH. Others move so fast that speeds + can only be calculated by using time over distance between related + sightings indicates speeds up to 12,000 MPH. + + Glowing spheres, cylinders and lens-shaped objects (most + frequent) are the forms which UFO's tend to take. The use of + Plasma as a propulsion method would obviates aerodynamic + requirements up to certain speeds since the plasma would cut + through the atmosphere like a hot knife through butter. + + However, above certain critical speeds, dependent on the + shape of the craft, the plasma would not fully protect against + wind resistance.

In addition, gyroscopic stabilization + would further assist navigation. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + As you can see, the Vesco article opens many cans of worms. + + If the Germans combined the Schauberger Implosion principle + (vortex "whirlwind") with the grisou (fire damp gas) and added the + Klystron exciter for the plasma drive system, then the Kugleblitz + is indeed possible. + + In addition, another type of drive could be achieved by using + Tesla principles (available years before WWII) for such Tesla + turbines driven by liquid oxygen produced by Tesla Mechanical + Oscillators. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + We of Vangard Sciences and KeelyNet wish to thank + Mr. Al Pinto and Mr. A.J.

The woman's boyfriend was dragged out of the house at +gun point and the woman and her children terrorized by the +police. The cause of the intrusion was 'suspicion of witchcraft'. +Following this was the assumption that anyone involved with the +occult molested children and/or would sacrifice them to Satan. +The probable cause for police involvement was a book on the +couple's coffee table, "Witches" by Erica Jong. + +The boyfriend was jailed and tried for child molestation. The +children did not collaborate the State's case during the trial +and had never given any verbal indication they had been sexually +abused. The man was eventually acquitted. + +The woman's kids had been taken from her and put into a foster +home where they did suffer abuse and injury, via neglect, at the +hands of the foster parents - state employees. The kids were +forced to live in this traumatic fashion, separated from their +month for a period of months before they were returned to her. +Even then, Arizona's Child Protective Services kept her on a +short leash wherein she was frequently investigated and forced to +accounting for her parenting. + +Ironically, the chief social worker for CPS, was quoted in +written testimony as saying that just because the man was +acquitted of the charges and that the children didn't back up the +State's allegations, that he wasn't really guilty. Thus the State +was justified in not returning the children to their mother. +It is with no small sense of irony that the CPS services of the +United States are called Child Parent Separators due to their +Gestapo tactics. They typically use the latitude provided by laws +designed to protect children to promote their own agendas. +Investigation into the background of the social worker +responsible for the nightmare inflicted on these people revealed +that she believed herself to be a victim of satanic rituals +performed when she was a child. + +This is not an isolated case. In San Diego, the sister of a woman +who had developed 'memories' claimed that her nephew and niece +were in immediate danger of being sacrificed to Satan by her +sister and her father. Again the children were stripped from +their parents. A difference between the Arizona case and the San +Diego case is that the later had the means to hire legal counsel +while the former did not. Even so, the expense forced them into +bankruptcy. + +In both cases, there was no forensic evidence nor did the +children offer any claim to support the allegation. Searches of +the homes revealed nothing out of the ordinary. + +The question becomes, "What makes normally rational people become +irrational when the subject becomes Satan?" + +In recent years we've had a new phenomena crop up called +'repressed memory'. The theory is that memories of a traumatic +event has laid suppressed for years, often decades, only to +surface at a later date. People report having been the object of +sexual abuse in Satanic rituals and frequently target their +parents or relatives as the perpetrators of the foul deeds. These +cases always lack any provable basis nor has anyone developed +even the smallest iota of substantiating evidence. How can this +be? + +I propose an alternative explanation for these events, alien +abduction. + +Consider that in the typical abduction, you are kidnapped from +your bed, stripped of your clothing, laid on a table (altar), a +light shines in your face and on your body, creatures of obvious +non human origin touch you and, in particular, your genitals and +then perform other objectionable procedures are performed on your +person against your will. You're furious, yet impotent to do +anything to help yourself. Worse, you return from the encounter +with no memory of the event. Yet, in my own case, it can be +triggered into conscious recall. + +It is very common for people to mistake encounters with aliens as +spiritual events. If you have a Christian mindset and you are +attempting to make some sense of what has happened to you, you +will use the mental references you possess to formulate some +hypothesis. As the events leave an impression of a surreal or +dream like state of mind, it is reasonable that some people will +believe they have been in contact with supernatural forces. +Depending upon the situation, their memories will be of good +beings or evil demons. + +I originally felt that my first abduction was non injurious. Once +the memory was revived ALONG WITH THE FEELINGS attendant to the +event, I now know otherwise. I take enormous pride in that, by my +own devices, I developed the ability to throw off their control +and to do battle with them more than once. Even so, I feel I am +the exception rather than the rule in this regard. + +Does Satanism exist in the world? +To be sure it does. + +Are children sacrificed to the chief demon. + +Yes. + +Is it a collective worldwide conspiracy? No. + +Is it so rampant that the planet's policing agencies should over +react to the extent they have? + +No. + + +People can sell their free will. They can choose to engage in +aberrant behaviors we sometimes see reported in the news. They +can become evil murderous creatures. Yet, there isn't any real +evidence or indication that Satan is the architect. The devils +and demons like our alien abductors are illusive and hard to +catch. Even so, there is much more evidence of an alien presence +on Earth than there is of a Satanic attendance. We have seen +their craft in the air, but we have never captured an imp or even +an itsy bitsy demon. This can not be said of aliens. + +There is, however, evidence that this current situation with +repressed memory is not a new occurrence by an ancient one. In +Biblical times it was called demonic possession. It is likely +that the vast majority of cases wherein a person was thought to +be possessed were little more than mentally ill individuals. +Most cultures will have a percentage of the population afflicted +by serious psychiatric disturbances. + +Reason, however, dictates that as we have a portion of our +population who are not obviously ill AND who are reporting +bizarre occurrences, dreams, memories and beliefs that can not be +supported by any substantive means that there is a strong +likelihood their experiences are reactions to things that have +occurred to them. Like the interpretative material of the Bible, +it has been misread and misunderstood. Each person can +accommodate these fantastic events in their lives only to the +limit of their own vision. Religion typically supports a very +narrow range of possibilities, good and evil, angels or demons, +God or Satan. To such a person, extraterrestrials aren't even a +consideration. + + +Our ET's will abduct adult and child alike but they return each +to his own bed. The exception is with women who have been +artificially impregnated and then had the fetus stolen before the +third month of pregnancy. While the fetus never was totally +human, the woman is used as an incubator. You don't, however, end +up with a missing human child. + + +If many of the cases of repressed memory are people who have seen +the nurseries where these artificial people are being grown, they +would relate the experience, and the horror of it, to child +abuse. + +I would add that as a victim of some pretty rancid child abuse, I +have a unique perspective on this situation. Child abuse, and +particularly sexual child abuse, leaves a common and identifiable +trail to investigators. These clues are missing and, therefore, +do not exist in the false memory scenario. + +Law enforcement has never busted a child abusing coven of witches +and they never will. The source for the false memories lies +elsewhere. As our rendezvous with Armageddon approaches and as +the subconscious mind of humanity interconnects, we will see more +and more instances of mental disturbances surfacing in the +general population. + +I try not to be deliberately redundant. However, there is a point +that bears repeating. Those who will survive Armageddon will be +those who can control their own terror. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

All but lost on the eastern plains of New Mexico, it is +out of the way from anywhere to anywhere else. That other American icon, +Route 66, runs through the northern part of the state and Albuquerque. If +the weather is bad, or you are going to Texas, you'll take the southern route +through Lordsburg, Deming and Las Cruces on your way to El Paso. In between, +on the far side of the Capitan and Sacramento mountain ranges from where the +Rio Grande valley cuts the state in half, is Roswell, with a populace less +than 45,000. + +You can trust your neighbors in Roswell. The generations who settled the city +had to work hard together. People acknowledge one another on the street and +outside of town will stop to help a vehicle in trouble. In exchange for the +rigors of the remote location they get no gang violence, a future they can +expect and a government they can trust. + +South of the town lies an industrial park located on the remains of the +former Army Air Field that gave the city its dose of furtive notoriety. Just +after World War II Roswell could boast the world's only atomic bomb squadron, +the 509th bomb group. At the time such distinction was not a cause for much +public scrutiny. It's exactly the obscure location that would allow such a +sensitive military asset to find a home in Roswell. + +But atomic bombers came and went and Roswell lapsed into the timeless small +town routine that Ward Cleaver would call the good life. Then, in the middle +seventies, odd stories began to surface about the activities of the 509th in +the summer of 1947. Twenty years and four books later, the name Roswell is +now inextricably linked with the most remarkable set of allegations to be +made in the dense web of public confusion that is the phenomenon of +Unidentified Flying Objects. + +The investigators Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt claim that, at the height +of a wave of sightings of flying crescent shaped discs that swept across the +country in the summer of 1947, one of the discs crashed into the base of a +bluff about 35 miles northwest of the front gate of the air base. They also +claim that, after securing the area, bribing and threatening the populace +into secrecy, the United States Government has managed to keep the fact that +an extraterrestrial craft crashed there secret for nearly half a century. + +If indeed that is the case, it is about to change. Producer Paul Davids and +Director Jeremy Kagan have made the movie that is to the +still-obscure-by-normal-standards Roswell Incident what 'JFK' was to the +Kennedy Assassination. In doing so, Davids and Kagan have very nicely framed +arguments about the existence of a coverup and the reasons for one. Not to +mention documenting the event for anyone with cable television or a VCR. + +If you have read the material, you will recognize 'Roswell' as an accurate +docudrama. If not, you might think it an intriguing bit of fiction. It is +that blurry duality that represents the core problem in addressing the clear +and substantial evidence of UFO's which points to technology or other forces +operating with a deliberate agenda of deception from a base outside our +normal reality. It is too easy to dismiss accounts as being fictional if +they fall too far outside the parameters of common belief. And using +fictional drama to present the best estimate of an unknown reality, such as +Whitley Streiber did in his literary treatment of the same case, 'Majestic', +serves to add to the potential confusion as much as to enlighten the masses. + +Writing a documentary screenplay about a mystery with no firm solution is a +difficult task. Davids, the driving force behind the project, has managed to +do just that. The 'Roswell' story is not one of aliens, but of one man's +quest for truth and redemption. The searcher is an aging Major Jesse Marcel, +(nicely played across several decades by Kyle MacLachlan) one of two army air +corps officers to initially examine the debris and recognize it as not of +this planet. As an element of the coverup, Marcel was sworn to secrecy and +then made to look the dunce by superior officers during a press conference. + General Roger Ramey claimed the intelligence officer could not tell the +difference between a spacecraft and a weather balloon. Over time, Marcel's +duty to remain silent is at greater and greater odds with his sense of +dignity and fairness. + +The docudrama unfolds during a 1970's reunion of the 509th, where Marcel +takes the last opportunity of his life to query former squadron members and +attempt to piece together the events of 1947. Bit by bit, pieces of the +story are found, some coming quickly from casual observers, others dragged +out of reluctant witnesses. Any one of them is at best a fuzzy memory. Not +all of them fit together. Those that do have jagged edges. Some directly +contradict others. The picture that forms confirms Marcel's opinion and +provides a suggestion of an alien presence on earth much more serious than +that proffered by the tabloid press. Along the way, the story mirrors the +investigation of Randle and Schmitt, showing the difficulty of correlating +different versions of events. + +Eventually, Marcel's curiosity gains him the attention of a shadowy figure +played with appropriate self confidence by Martin Sheen, who takes him to an +abandoned hanger and sketches in the missing portions of the picture. A +crashed alien craft at the beginnings of a Cold War between the US and a +paranoid super power. A clandestine effort to care for the one alien left +alive and reverse engineering of the phenomenal craft. A rationale for +secrecy to avoid provoking preemptive action by an all too human enemy. A +self-reinforcing conundrum of deception and ridicule by now so convoluted +that no sitting government could admit to having been involved in it. An +escalation of explanation from the mundane to the inescapable. At the +climatic moment we hope and pray that the blanket of denial will be torn away +and the truth, whatever it is, will be laid bare. + +It is. You have to see the film to appreciate the cosmic irony of the hangar +scene. I shall not reveal the logic that concludes the confrontation between +one man searching for the truth and the nameless representative of his +government who dangles it before him. I suggest you tape a copy of the Star +Trek: The Next Generation episode 'First Contact' and 'Roswell', then watch +them back to back. The two are flip sides of the same coin and both sides +have the same value. + +'Roswell' the movie has the hand crafted feel of a small town main street. + Given the option of telling the story with the confines of a SHOWTIME budget +or risking not telling it at all, Davids elected to do the former. The +resulting concentration on the people and the period instead of speculation +by special effects of what actually hit the ground on the night of July 4, +1947 helps the piece. In the tradition of 'Fire in the Sky', but without the +studio executive's intrusion on the documentary, we see the effect of a very +unusual event on the lives of generally usual people. The momentum of the +story suffers occasionally from the process of maintaining consistency with +the facts in the case. + +All in all, Roswell is a good watch, as good as any in the summer cable +line-up. The baseline of understanding in the ongoing debate on-line and +elsewhere has been raised. If you feel compelled offer an opinion about +extraterrestrial life and/or the capability of the government to keep +secrets, make sure you have seen this movie and read the book by Randle and +Schmitt before you do or risk being flamed as a newbie. + +Davids presents the essential questions of the unresolved UFO cover-up +controversy very well indeed. While thankfully avoiding the side issues such +as the debate about one or two crash sites or the archaeologists presented in +the 1994 Randle and Schmitt book 'The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell', +the movie touches all the bases dear to the UFO community. 'Roswell' will +give anyone-believer or hardened skeptic-pause for thought about the other +side of the UFO issue. + +The closing scene shows a determined Marcel back at the crash site, making a +final futile effort to find a solid piece of evidence, one tangible remainder +of an event that has haunted him for years. As the sun sets behind the +Capitans, Marcel realizes that no amount of hoping will uncover the piece of +alien craft that would prove once and for all the government is lying. As we +pull back to realize how vast the plains are and how hopeless his quest, we +see Jesse Marcel as the best allegory for the American spirit any man can be. + +Watching the film makes it clear that if any of the alleged incident is true, +or anything like it is, then the American public is the unknowing victim of +the most heinous form of repression conceivable. Contact with +extraterrestrial life is the most significant step a planetary civilization +can take. The prospects for good are beyond description. Who gets to make +the decision that we who have settled this planet are not ready for the fact +that we are not alone? The argument against an overtly aggressive alien +presence is simple and persuasive. Given that they can get here, across +interstellar distances or dimensional shifts, then they have the technology +to wage a devastating war and win it decisively if that were their purpose. + +Logic dictates a net nonaggressive position on the part of any alien race +that may have already discovered us. More likely, they are waiting patiently +for us to grow beyond the aggressive response patterns of our lower origins. + Indeed, we may have committed the grievous error by welcoming the early +reconnaissance of visitors from other worlds with attempts to shoot their +craft down. Extraterrestrial contact, if or when it occurs, is too important +to be left to government, least of all paranoid elements of the intelligence +community in whose hands 'Roswell' (and most of the UFO community) claims it +lays. What does surface is an appreciation of how the truth could be hidden +more or less in plain sight, varnished with a thin layer of denial and +ridicule. + +It is also clear that whatever the case may have been in the 1940's, if a +coverup was started at that time, it is by now so ingrown that only an +extremely clear political message from the people in whose name the secret is +being kept can provide the impetus to end it. 'Roswell' is a movie that took +a lot of perseverance and moxie to make. The consequences of it being even +close to the truth are too profound to be dismissed. If you don't dismiss it +as an intriguing fiction then download the Roswell Declaration on America +Online, sign it and sent it in. In that manner, the consequences of making +it will be worth the investment and risk the filmmakers have taken. + +Killing a president is one thing. Denying a society the truth about their +place in the cosmos and, possibly, their origins is another. No amount of +investigation or revelation will bring John Kennedy back to life or change +our history back to what it might have been had he not been shot. But the +revelation of the facts about what happened at Roswell is the reversal of +policy needed to make things right with our growth as a species. The cold +war is over. The world is still in crisis, but the enemy is anarchy, not +totalitarianism. Any justification for a coverup of the sort depicted in +'Roswell' no longer exists. + +Whatever happened outside Roswell, the government has not properly explained +it. And whatever it was, it scared the government so much that extraordinary +measures were taken to hide it from the American people. If you have any +threads of the spirit of '76 in your soul, if you can explain to your +children why they held the Boston Tea Party-or worse yet, if you can't-then +watch this movie. It premieres on July 30th, shows three times in August and +then four more times in December on the Showtime cable network. + +------------------------------ + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

KIVIAT for OMNI + + +When the Viking 1 spacecraft arrived at Mars in July 1976, it fell into orbit +around the Red Planet. Sending its lander down to inspect the surface below, +the orbiter concentrated on picking out possible landing sites for the Viking +2 spacecraft, due to arrive in a few weeks. Its cameras shot thousands of pic- +tures as it circled within 1,000 miles of the planet's rugged features. + +On the morning of July 26, 1976, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasad- +ena, California, received a set of images taken during Viking 1's thirtyfifth +orbit of Mars. One of those frames, from the northern desert region called +Cydonia, showed a mesa - roughly a mile long and 1,500 feet high - that resem- +bled a humanoid face. + +At a press conference at JPL, Viking project scientist Dr. Gerald Soffen popp- +ed up a slide showing this very quirky image in the Martian desert, recalls +Richard C. Hoagland, then a member of the JPL press corps. As reporters were +poised with pens ready, Soffen said a picture taken a few hours later showed +that it was just a trick, just the way the light fell on it. But according to +Hoagland, that simple explanation for what has become known as "the face on +Mars" has proven to be "flatly, demonstrably, in gross error. + +NASA's planetary scientists have maintained over the years that the face is a +natural rock formation produced by wind erosion and that the particular light- +ing angle at which it was photographed crated its resemblance to a human face. +Hoagland, however, remains unconvinced, and he has led a ten-year independent +investigation of the Viking data. After analyzing specific frames, taken with +different sun angles during orbits weeks apart, he contends, his interdiscipl- +inary team of researchers has found substantial evidence that the face, some +adjacent pyramid structures, and other objects on Mars surface were created +by intelligent beings. + +On August 21, 1993, the Mars Observer spacecraft was preparing to settle into +orbit around Mars to begin a two-year mission to photograph and analyze the +surface of the Red Planet when it abruptly fell silent. As the world watched, +NASA tried frantically for days to re-establish radio contact with its precio- +us orbiter but failed. An independent NASA review board concluded that the +breakdown resulted from a rupture of a propulsion system line as the probe +began pressurizing its fuel tanks. Whatever the cause, the loss of the Obser- +ver meant the loss, too, of our chance to learn the truth behind Cydonia and +its mysterious face. + +But perhaps only temporarily: NASA has already dusted itself off after the +Observer's ignominious failure and begun work on substitute probes, the first +of which may be launched as early as 1996. With public and congressional enth- +usiasm for the space program waning while interest in the Mars face mounts, +will NASA make special provisions for the new spacecraft to examine Cydonia? +Perhaps. Should it? In Hoagland's opinion, most definitely. While NASA was +designing the Mars Observer, he urged it to photograph the face and other so- +called anomalous structures in detail, and he continues to call for the agency +to do everything within its power to resolve this otherworldly mystery. + +For all his unorthodox claims, Hoagland, author of The Monuments of Mars, has +had considerable experience working with the space community. He was a consul- +tant to CBS News, where he designed space simulations and advised Walter Cron- +kite on the network's coverage of the Apollo lunar missions. In 1972, eminent +planetary scientist Carl Sagan credited Hoagland, as well as British space +pioneer Eric Burgess, for the initial suggestion to include a recorded message +aboard Pioneer 10. And at the time of the Viking mission, Hoagland was under +contract as an author/consultant to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. + +Hoagland's involvement with the Cydonia controversy began in 1981 when, after +seeing the work of Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molennar at a science confere- +nce, he first wondered if the face amounted to more than a natural landform or +a trick of lighting. These two computer imaging experts had obtained data tape +s of the face and had enhanced it, Hoagland says. Their photographs showed +some remarkable, stunning detail that was not at all evident on the raw image. + +DiPietro and Molennar had searched through the entire Viking data file and +had found a second picture - taken 35 days later - that reveals more of the +right side of the face due to the sun's slightly higher position in the Marti- +an sky. Still, Hoagland wasn't convinced that the face was an artificial const- +untill 1983, when DiPietro sent him photographic blowups of the face along +with prints of original Viking frames for comparison. As I sat there looking +at the photographs, Hoagland says, I began to wonder why no one had taken this +seriously, and what if it wasn't just a trick of lighting? + +Hoagland soon agreed with DiPietro and Molennar that the face appeared bilate- +rally symmetric. It had features which were humanoid, he remembers, and it +seemed above chance that it also had the right proportion. He then speculated +that if sentient life forms had indeed constructed the face, they might have +built it to be seen from the ground rather than from the air. + +He then attempted to determine where one would have had to stand on the planet- +'s surface to see the face. That's when my eyes were forced to look to the +left and the right, he says, and I noticed a separate collection of very geo- +metric pyramid shapes, where one would have had a perfect view of the face. He +reasoned that these pyramids could be the ruins of an ancient city of some +sort. + +In a previously published report titled "Unusual Martian Surface Features," +DiPietro and Molennar had also described a monstrous, rectangular pyramid, +located ten miles southwest of the face. They noted that its dimensions were +roughly 1 mile long by 1.6 miles across, it appeared to have four sides that +descended straight down to the surface at sharp angles, and its corners seemed +buttressed by symmetrical material. Hoagland believed it's unlikely that two +very unnatural looking objects like the face and the pyramid would exist on +Mars in such close proximity. + +Erol Torun, a physical scientist with the Defense Mapping Agency who has on +his own time studied the large pyramid, corroborates DiPietro's and Molennar's +findings. The pyramid's position and orientation - in respect to other suspic- +ious objects in the immediate vicinity - are perfectly aligned, he says. The +pyramid's main axis aligns with the face, he explains, and an extension of the +left arm of the pyramid intersects the center of the city, while an extension +of its right arm intersects a peculiar object that Hoagland calls the "tholus. +" The pyramid displays geometric regularity, Torun concludes, that doesn't occ- +ur in nature. + +Hoagland, too, notice during the early part of his 11-year study that the face +and the city appear to be aligned rectilinearly; a series of right angles +contributes to an overall impression that the city's main avenue leads toward +the face. Yet Hoagland recognizes that earthquakes or faulting will give you +rectilinearity, and so the phenomenon isn't conclusive proof of the structure- +s artificiality. But what is conclusive, he explains, are the much more subtle +angles - measured between these and other objects arrayed at Cydonia - that +are replicated with such geometric regularity that they seem to be the product +of intelligent design. It's a repeating of the same pattern of angles between +the specific objects, and within the large pyramid itself. + +The patterns he has found in Cydonia, Hoagland believes, are similar to the +sort of constructions that well known planetary scientist Carl Sagan considers +indicative of intelligent life. Sagan has attempted to identify patterns of +intelligent activity on Earth - and Mars - via satellite images, and although +his studies found no signs of intelligent life on the Red Planet, they did es- +tablish criteria for identifying such intelligence in satellite photos. In +an episode of the Cosmos television series called "blues for a Red Planet," +Sagan demonstrated that "intelligent life on Earth first reveals itself throu- +gh the geometric regularity of its constructions - an intricate pattern of +straight lines, squares, rectangles, and circles. Canals, roads, and circular +irrigation patterns, he explained, all suggest intelligent life with a passion +for Euclidean geometry. But the Viking spacecraft, Sagan concluded, didn't +detect any such manufactured structures. Nevertheless, Hoagland maintains that +the Viking photos of Cydonia do show intelligently constructed objects - not +just random hills and mountains - because there is geometric regularity - but +not exactly the kind for which Sagan had searched. + +The large Cydonian pyramid is a geometric figure on Mars that has internal +angles which are identical to those that can be measured between the face, the +city, and other key surface features nearby, Hoagland says. The meaning in +this is that if you find a specific geometry in the pyramid and then you find +a bigger example of the same geometry spread out over many more square miles, +it's telling you something - that it's not natural. + +Some others who have studied the photos Viking sent back, however, have failed +to arrive at the same conclusion. I don't know any people of any consequence +who give any credence to this whatsoever, declares Michael Carr, who headed +the Viking orbiter imaging team. Not one person of scientific credibility +believes this. In addition, Carr, presently a geologist with the U.S. Geologi- +cal Survey, says he doesn't know of a single Viking image that has pyramids on +it. Although some members of the JPL staff did note the mesa's resemblance to +a face when Viking sent back that particular image, he admits, the lab publis- +hed it only for laughs. + +But still other members of the scientific community - even some at NASA - be- +lieve the face and nearby objects merit further study. Mark Carlotto, a former +division staff analyst with the image computing technology division at TASC - +an analytic services corporation that performs satellitebased image processing +- began examining the Viking data in 1985 after reading about Hoagland's stud- +ies. Carlotto's expertise in analyzing satellite images has made him a key +player in the investigation. + +The mesa obviously looks like a face, says Carlotto. It always did to me, and +that was the intriguing thing that piqued my curiosity to make me take a clos- +er look at the data. Carlotto, author of The Martian Enigmas, has specifically +attempted to test the validity of NASA's trick of lighting explanation for the +face. Using a shape from shading image analysis technique that creates a +three dimensional image from two dimensional data, he has concluded that the +impression of a face is not a trick of lighting. Three dimensional imagery su- +ggests that the impression of facial features persists over a wide range of +illumination and viewing conditions. + +While the face has received the most attention, another object that Hoagland +discovered back in 1983 and termed the "fort" is perhaps the most interesting +feature in the Viking frames, according to Carlotto. I characterize this as a +polyhdral object, Carlotto says, with very straight sides and regularly shaped +markings or indentations. When he used shape-from-shading to create a 3-D ima- +ge, he adds, this object appeared to be an enclosed structure that had somehow +lost its top. It did not look natural. + +Other test Carlotto has performed indicate that the face and some other Cydon- +ian objects are strongly nonfractal, meaning they don't appear to have occured +naturally. Using some techniques developed at TASC to detect manmade structur- +es in satellite images, he and some colleagues determined that the face does- +n't share the characteristics of the terrain that surrounds it. + +Hoagland, Carlotto, and others investigating the structures have concluded +that only high resolution photos, the type Mars Observer was to take, can lay +the mystery of Cydonia to rest. But the Observer's camera, while capable of +taking pictures 30 times sharper than Viking's, had targeting limitations that +made it quite possible that the probe wouldn't have captured sharp photos of +the structures in question - and the new spacecraft currently on the drawing +board will carry the same type of camera. So even if the new probes get off +the ground, we could be left without high resolution pictures of the face and +other structures unless NASA - or another organization capable of sending a +spacecraft to Mars - makes photographing the Cydonian monuments a mission pri- +ority. + +There's been a lot of discussion, some of it well informed and some of it not +particularly well informed, having to do with this feature on Mars, says Stev- +en Squyres, professor of astronomy at Cornell University and chairman of the +Mars Science Working Group, which consists of scientists form both government +and private universities and advises NASA on its Mars exploration program. And +it's an issue that I think could be nicely put to rest, once and for all, if +we could get one good picture of this thing. + +That doesn't mean that Squyres subscribes to Hoagland's hypotheses regarding +Cydonia or that he agrees with Carlotto's shape-from-shading analysis, which +he says demonstrates only that the structure looks like a face. Neither shape- +from -shading nor your own visual analysis of this thing tells you how it got +that shape, Squyres says. So you can massage the data all you want, but the +fact is that we have a very fuzzy, low resolution picture of the face, and +we're not going to know how it was formed until we take a higher resolution +picture. + +The camera that may capture that picture will fly on just one of the two orbit- +ers that NASA currently plans to send to Mars. Both the Mars Science Working +Group and NASA's own team formed to study plausible Mars exploration options +in the wake of the Observer's failure endorsed the two orbiter approach, spli- +tting essentially the entire Observer payload between the two spacecraft due +to be launched in 1996 and 1998, Squyres says. They also recommended a series +of lander missions that NASA will begin in 1997, when the Mars Pathfinder spa- +cecraft lands on the planet's surface and deploys a small rover. + +Described by Squyres as an engineering experiment with a very modest scientif- +ic payload, the Pathfinder mission gives NASA an opportunity to showcase its +new commitment to quicker, cheaper, but perhaps riskier missions. Shortly aft- +er the loss of Mars Observer, NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin told NBC News +that the agency had introduced a policy where we build smaller spacecraft in +larger number, so we don't have to risk everything on any given launch. With +Pathfinder, Squyres says, NASA is spending just $150 million to build a compl- +etely new type of spacecraft and successfully land it on the Martian surface +and deploy instruments. + +NASA will likely send the camera aboard the first orbiter, enabling it to ta- +ke high resolution photographs of the planet's surface that will help NASA +select Pathfinder's landing site and decide where to send the rover. It makes +a certain amount of sense to put the highest priority on those orbital object- +ives that will enable us to do the landed science better, Squyres says. There +are other factors besides science that come into it, too. One is having an in- +strument on there that the public can deal with. An imager is important from +the standpoint of making sure that the public sees comprehensible, tangible +results form the mission. + +The camera on the new spacecraft will do more than simply transmit images to +flash across America's TV screens, of course. If, as planned, NASA intends it +to duplicate the mission of the Observer's camera, it will photograph the ent- +ire surface of the planet, producing detailed maps. In addition, the camera +was designed to help test some hypotheses regarding the planet's geology by +focusing on some specific geological features. The Cydonian structures are not +among those features of highest geological interest. Accordingly, although +Michael Malin, the principal investigator in charge of Mars Observer's camera +and the camera that will fly aboard that craft's replacement, attest that +he'll try the best he can to get high resolution photos of the face and other +nearby objects, he doesn't think they should be his highest imaging priority. + +Complicating the entire issue are the rather severe limitations of the camera +and of transmitting data through space. The camera will photograph less than +one percent of Mars surface in high resolution - not because it can't photoga- +ph more, but because there's no room in the probe's transmission stream for +the additional data to be sent back to Earth. And pinpointing exactly what on +the surface it photographs is far from simple: Bolted to the spacecraft, the +camera can only point straight down. We always said that it was very difficult +to image the face because of the targeting ability of the whole system, says +Arden Albee, project scientist on the Mars Observer mission and a member of +NASA's Mars Recovery study team. + +That hill that we're trying to take a picture of in Cydonia is very small - it +'s only a couple of kilometers - and the field of view of Malin's camera when +it takes a picture of the surface is also very small, Squyres explains. But +the really important point is that the spacecraft is not able to point very +accurately at all. If you build into the spacecraft, at great expense, the +capability to point your camera very precisely and the capability to determine +the orbit and the orientation of the spacecraft very precisely, then you can +hit a specific imaging target. + +While Squyres recognizes that there may be considerable public interest in the +face, he doesn't believe that it mandates photographing the face at all costs. +But if Congress decided that they wanted to put so much money into the Mars +Observer follow up mission that we could afford to point that camera with high +enough precision to put this issue to rest, he adds, that would be great. Fra- +nkly, he doesn't think that Congress will take such a step in the current eco- +nomic climate. + +NASA might get Congress to cough up the additional funds by playing up the +Mars face angle to the public, which would demand action form its elected off- +icials. But Squyres considers such tactics intellectually dishonest. If you +mislead people by making something sound particularly likely, when in fact +your personal view is that it's not, he says, sooner or later it's going to +come back and haunt you. + +And although Squyres and the NASA investigators insist that they are open to +any new evidence that the Mars probes may turn up, they don't at present beli- +eve that it's likely that the Cydonian structures are artificial. [Carlotto's] +shape-from-shading argument is unconvincing because it doesn't prove anything, +Malin says. Just because a hill looks like a face doesn't prove that it is a +face. In my view, the face barely resembles one, and there is certainly nothi- +ng in its form or topography that is even suggestive of its being artificial. +Carlotto has also applied fractal analysis to photographs of the face, the +results of which, he says, indicate the face is anomalous. In order to prove, +however, that the face is anomalous on Mars, Malin says, Carlotto must examin- +e as many locations on Mars in mountainous terrains and show that only the th- +ings in the Cydonia area - pyramids and the like - are highlighted by his tec- +hnique. Even such results, he add, would suggest simply that the features are +different, not that they are artificial. + +And what does Malin think of Hoagland's assertion that the alignment of the +face and other objects indicates unnatural origins? I don't know of very many +scientists who would endorse it because there is no physical basis for it, +Malin says. If aliens did create the structures Hoagland points to with the +intention of leaving a message, Malin contends that they picked a very poor +place to do it because the area is already fractured by Mars - which created +a lot of angles there. As for the pyramids, Malin says that natural forces do, +in fact, produce such structures. I've done a lot of work in Antarctica, and +there are lots of pyramidal shapes cut by ice, he explains. They can also be +formed by other processes of erosion, and there are far stranger things in +Antarctica than I have seen on Mars. + +Another figure involved in the debate, however, has taken issue with Malin's +arguments against the Cydonian structures artificial origins and indeed with +NASA's treatment of the Cydonia issue as a whole. Stan McDaniel, a professor +of philosophy at Sonoma State University with a 30 year background in such +areas of study as ethics, philosophy of science, and critical thinking, has +conducted a two year study of NASA's official policy regarding the face and +the methodology that both NASA and the independent investigators have employ- +ed in analyzing it. Many of NASA's arguments against the independent investig- +ators conclusions are seriously flawed, both in terms of methodology and logi- +c, McDaniel says. Moreover, the methodology used by DiPietro, Molennar, Carlo- +tto, Torun, and Hoagland is sound, based on established scientific criteria, +he says. + +NASA itself uses the shape-from-shading technique to determine the probable +three dimensional shape of objects in space photographs, McDaniel says. The +fractal analysis technique used by Carlotto is a standard scientific method +in use for for determining the probable artificiality of objects is satellite +images, he adds. And in McDaniel's view, the magnitude of the issue at stake- +which is the possible proof of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence +- should compel NASA to ensure that any new Mars orbiter takes high-resoluti- +on photographs of the landforms by making them a top mission priority. + +Hoagland founded the Mars Mission, a grass roots constituency organization +composed of researchers and lobbyists, to do just that. The group has dedicat- +ed itself to ensuring that NASA obtains high-resolution images of the face and +other nearby objects at Cydonia at the earliest opportunity and then immediat- +ely releases them to the U.S. public. + +That issue, however, could soon be moot: It may not be a U.S. spacecraft that +gets the next opportunity to take high-resolution images of the curious struc- +tures. In 1996, the Russians plan to launch a Mars orbiter equipped with a +German camera, and if it overflies the Cydonia area and takes a picture of the +face, Squyres says, it will be able to do a very nice job of imaging it at a +high resolution and putting the issue to rest. + +Regardless of whether a U.S. spacecraft or a Russian one takes the coveted +High resolution picture of the face and, ideally, the surrounding structures, +those on each side of the issue know what the image must show to vindicate +their arguments - and what would reveal that they are mistaken. For Malin, a +photo of the area near the face showing roads or large areas that have been +excavated will prove his hypothesis wrong. On the other hand, if we see just +a natural looking surface, then I would argue my hypothesis is correct, he +adds. For Hoagland, only fractal analysis of high-resolution photos indicating +that the objects are part of the natural terrain will dissuade him from the +views he's firmly held for the past ten years. + +And despite the unexpected failure of the Mars Observer, Hoagland, Malin, and +the rest of the world could know before the decade is out the elusive truth - +whatever it may be - behind the mysterious monuments of Mars. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Now a more current set of events has opened a Pandora's box. + For the abductees in the study, I feared I had opened up much additional pain and grief to their already frightened lives and for this I was really concerned. However, the abductees assure me that I am doing the right thing in using this event and, in effect, using them as pawns in this game of intrigue, mystery and synchronicity. The abductees' trust is very important to me and I intend to continue to earn that trust. + Being a Certified Master Hypnotherapist has been useful in this work, however, we are thankful to have an ever-growing staff of consultants including mental health professionals, medical doctors, diagnosticians, etc. Our approach has been somewhat different from the conventional methods, however. It is our opinion that, for the last 40 years or so, UFO investigations in general have apparently given us little more than larger file cabinets. One of my definitions of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results." "Sameness" only produces "sameness." The history of all genius, growth and change lies in "difference." + And so, with some new techniques, we found ways of obtaining information regarding "aliens" never before discovered (as far as we know). We found "loops" in the aliens' thought processes and profoundly simple errors on their part. We were successful in creating techniques for the abductees to use; in one case, an abductee thwarted an abduction attempt. + Then, along came Dale Musser (the writer of this report) and I learned much more, as he is a vast resource of skill and knowledge. + No one will solve the alien mystery alone. We must cooperate and are prepared to do so. It has been two years since I began to work with my colleagues at the Houston UFO Network (HUFON). That group now consists of Patrice Eldridge, Dale Musser, Jana Collins and many other fine individuals who have contributed so much. + Up until now, we have kept this information "under wraps" as to not influence others' work or be influenced by others' discoveries. Now that this report is complete, we are ready to cooperate with other serious non-partisan researchers and organizations that may find our work of interest. If you should find yourself as one of these individuals and/or find our report useful, feel free to contact us at the address at the end of this document. + + DERREL SIMS + Chief Abductions Investigator + + +The Mass Abduction Event of December 8, 1992 + +Note: In the following report, the term "alien(s)" is used generically to denote the abducting entities, and does not presuppose an extraterrestrial origin for them. + + Throughout this report we will be referring to the event as the "December 8 Event." The truth, however, is that the event really began early in the spring of 1992. Derrel Sims (chief investigator for abductions) had been working with several people with histories of multiple abductions occurring at regular intervals. Mr. Sims contrived a scheme to be able to use these periodic abductions as a means to establish a dialogue with the abductors and to create a situation which he hoped would provide more information about the abduction phenomenon. The essence of the plan was to establish post-hypnotic suggestions that would activate during an abduction, causing the abductee to behave in certain fashions, ask questions, or make comments which could evoke reactions or dialogue from the aliens. + Throughout the summer of 1992, Mr. Sims implanted several different hypnotic suggestions with a few select abductees. The first abduction of an implanted subject was partially successful, the abductee reacted to the implanted message as suggested during the abduction. It did not, however, produce any significant results. The second abduction with another subject and a different implanted suggestion resulted in a reaction that we believe to be the reason for the December 8 event. + In November of 1992, subject DS92007PH was abducted. The subject maintained conscious memory for a fair amount of time into the abduction before the aliens were able to "zap" the subject (place the subject in a mental state where they no longer have conscious memories of the event). + At the beginning of the abduction, the subject was able to communicate with the aliens, although they did not appear to be terribly inclined to communicate or reveal much information. As the aliens were completing their preparations for their examination, the subject felt herself losing mental control. The aliens began to reinforce their efforts to "zap" her. In one last effort to maintain consciousness and communication for as long as possible she blurted out "We know what you're doing... We know about..." (topic still under investigation). This statement seemed to evoke a reaction on the part of the aliens and appears to have predicated the events that followed. + Starting December 8, 1992, just prior to the HUFON meeting "Alien Abductions: Working with Abductees," several of the group were abducted in a single event. This abduction was not realized at the time, but over the next few days, many of the abductees began suffering PAS (Post Abduction Syndrome). At this time, the abductees were not in communication with each other. + Subject DS92002DM reported that he thought he had experienced a dream or possible flashback of an earlier abduction when he began having PAS and other physical manifestations that accompanied his earlier abductions. He began to suspect that an abduction had taken place. Subjects DM92003JA, DS92034LC & DS92017RP also reported dreams with possible abduction signs. In addition, a number of the abductees reported having nose bleeds and/or sinus pains. + On Thursday, December 10, at the monthly HUFON meeting, a number of the abductees were questioned by the audience about their abductions. Although most of the abductees were very uncomfortable and felt they "...shouldn't be talking about (their) abductions," the meeting went quite well. On Friday morning, December 11, many of the abductees (most of whom were on the panel the night before), awoke to find they had nose bleeds during the night. Almost all had sinus pains and within a day or two almost all had head colds and flu like symptoms. + Subject DS92009LT awoke on the 11th with an irritation in one eye. While rubbing her eye, a small object (about the size of a mustard seed) came out . The subject called Derrel Sims and turned the object over to him. This object has been photographed and is currently undergoing analysis. The object appears to be made out of a flesh-colored plastic. It is hollow and somewhat egg-shaped, with the narrow end open. + Also on December 11, subject DS92002DM awoke to discover that he had a nose bleed (the first in over 20 years). He called Derrel Sims to make immediate arrangements for a hypnosis session. + On Sunday, December 20, 1992, DS92002DM was hypnotically regressed to his latest encounter with aliens. The event occurred the night of December 10, the night of the HUFON meeting. Sometime after the subject went to sleep for the night, he was awakened by aliens--who in a very quick procedure, removed a nasal implant from the subject in his bedroom and immediately left (later, under hypnosis, a number of other abductees reported similar events). Mr. Sims then regressed the subject to the next-earliest abduction (December 8). + On December 8, DS92002DM awoke and observed a bright flash of light (there was no sound of thunder following). The subject rolled over and noticed a small gray alien "wearing a harness/utility belt." He was instructed to follow the alien outside, where a blue/white light was shining on a spot on the ground. The subject was instructed to stand in the light and, an instant later, found himself in a large circular room about the size of a high school gymnasium. The subject was instructed to disrobe and was led out of the room and through a series of corridors and passageways. Part of the time they walked, but mostly they were transported by a means unknown to the subject (floated or on a conveyor). Eventually, they arrived at a small room where several other aliens were present. A quick physical examination was given and then a human-appearing individual entered the room (in prior abductions the subject had never encountered a humanoid). + The human asked several questions as to how and why the abductee knew he had been abducted before. The subject was asked how abductees knew about other abductees and why were they meeting together. A model of the human brain was shown to the subject and he was asked to indicate where the "subconscious mind was located." When the subject was unable to indicate a location, he received a mental image of another abductee (DS92007PH) in a state of suspended animation. He had the impression that she was being asked the same question. The humanoid then left the room and the subject was moved to another room. + This room appeared to be some type of meeting or conference room. It also was round but the lighting and the furnishings were different. A number of different alien life forms entered the room, the last being the one with human appearance. The small gray aliens left the room, but two of the taller brown aliens stayed. (The description of the other life forms is being withheld pending further investigation). The subject was again questioned as to the nature of the subconscious mind and of his knowledge of his abductions and other abductees. After each question the subject perceived images of DS92008DT, DS92009LT, DS92017RP, and DS92034LC and felt there were other abductees present as well. He could see them in a room together. They were all nude and seemed to be unaware of the presence of each other. Each appeared to be in a hallucinative state and behaved as if acting out a part. He sensed they were being "accessed" by the aliens by some means and were being asked many of the same questions as himself. The subject also sensed DS92007PH, who was in a different location . He could "feel" the aliens trying to "access" her mind to retrieve information. + A debate seemed to be taking place among the aliens as to whether the "experiment/project" should be allowed to continue or if it had been compromised by the recent events (abductees knowing of their abductions and meeting together). Accusations were made about "improper procedures being followed by the "Grays" and "Browns." At one point, when DS92002DM "sensed/saw" the other abductees as they were being accessed by the aliens, he had the thought that the other abductees "don't know there are others there." This thought caught the attention of the humanoid, who seemed surprised that the subject was picking-up on their activities. Immediately, two "Grays" entered the room and took hold of the subject's hands; he was unable to "pick up anything further of the alien thoughts or questioning." + One of the more interesting aspects of this case that is still being investigated pertains to a question asked of subject DS92002DM by the aliens. At one point, he was asked what he knew about a government program called "Project Prometheus." The subject responded that he had no knowledge of such a project. We have found a reference to a "Project Prometheus" which was proposed by the U.S. government and that it did relate to UFOs. However, other than a brief mention of said project, we have so far been unable to find any other information concerning the disposition of the project. + As the meeting seemed to be ending the humanoid asked the subject what he "would like to do," to which the subject responded he "would like to go with them" (a suggestion even he finds bizarre). The subject was told that this was "impossible" as he was "contaminated" (the subject did not feel this implied physically). The humanoid then took him into a side room where he was shown a "strange sort of chart or diagram" which he did not understand and was unlike any he'd ever seen before. He then was led by the two "Browns" through several other rooms to another examination room/laboratory, where an implant was placed up his nostril. The subject was then given his pajamas, told to dress, and was returned to his home and bed. + Subjects DS92009LT and DM92003JA were also hypnotically regressed and questioned about the event. They reported being abducted on December 8, and being in a room with others. Subject DS92034LC had conscious memories of being in the room on that night. All three of these subjects have independently described the room, its appearance, and individuals in the room. All of the subjects' descriptions are similar and details of the room match, including several unique aspects not reported in other cases. It is interesting to note that all of the abductees in the "group room experiences" perceived events differently, although parallel. + One believed she had died and was with her dead brother (who had strange eyes). One thought she was with God, whose face she couldn't see because of a fog that only allowed her to see his shape. All of the individuals reported themselves and others in the room as being nude. One abductee who felt hungry was told that they would be fed and was handed silverware as if they were about to be served food. When she was told to look at the silverware during hypnosis, it was not silverware at all, but some strange objects she could not identify. Each of the abductees in the "group room experience" seemed to be in a drugged and/or hallucinative state. This condition seemed to alleviate when they were taken to another room for examinations and nasal and ocular implants. + Other abductees also have reported supporting events and experiences. The total number of abductees involved in the event is not known for sure. Great care was taken in the early stages of investigation to ensure that the subjects were unaware of the others' events. It was only after hypnosis, with similar descriptions of events and locations by five different individuals, each unaware of any other abductee reporting anything, that information concerning the event was released. Numerous descriptions and minute details have been deliberately left out of this report as investigations are still ongoing. + The significance of this event cannot be overlooked. It would appear that the implants were deliberately placed in the abductees before the HUFON meeting featuring a panel of abductees and removed the day after. Whether the aliens knew about the meeting or had simply implanted the abductees with the intent of monitoring a "gathering of abductees" is unknown. + However, it has been noted in preparing this data that only those abductees who sat on the HUFON panel were given implants. For the first time within the literature of the abduction phenomenon, the actions by abductees seem to have triggered a response by their abductors. + Although we do not know the ultimate outcome of these events, we hope that it may lead to a breakthrough in communication, and an improvement in the relationship with the abducting entities. + The reports and diagrams which follow are a summary of the reports and data involved. At the time of this report, over ten hours of taped sessions with abductees are being transcribed. Original notes, diagrams, abductees' journals and letters are being compiled for a extensive report to be made available to other investigators. In addition, the subject DS92007PH, who has not been told anything concerning this event and knows only of her part in the event, will be undergoing hypnosis to hopefully recover even more data. It is hoped DS92004DK will also have undergone hypnosis before this report is made public. + + +CASE STUDIES + +Subject DS92002DM + It was through this subject that the events of December 8, 1992, were first brought to light. On December 9, the subject reported that he thought he had experienced a flashback memory or dream of an earlier encounter. According to the subject, he was awakened on the night of December 8, by a flash of light ("like lightning") and a popping sound ("not like thunder, softer and close"). The subject turned over and opened his eyes and closed them again, then realized he thought he saw "a small gray alien" wearing what looked like a utility belt or harness standing by the bed. The subject opened his eyes again but there was nothing there. He looked at the clock, noted the time as 3:38am (this would actually have been the morning of December 9), and went back to sleep. + On Thursday, December 10, the subject was one of several abductees participating in a panel discussion entitled "Abductions Research: Working with Abductees" at the monthly HUFON (Houston UFO Network) meeting. On December 11, the subject awoke in the morning to find that he had a slight nose bleed, the first in over 20 years. Over the next several days, he began to notice several symptoms which he had experienced with previous abductions. The subject contacted Mr. Sims to inform him of the events and to set-up a schedule for a hypnosis session to determine if an abduction had actually occurred. + On December 20, the subject was hypnotically regressed to the night of December 8. Under hypnosis, he recounted being awakened by a flash of light and a "popping sound." The subject arose and saw a "small Gray alien that appeared to be wearing what looked like a utility belt or harness." It was communicated to the subject that he should rise and go outside. The subject proceeded down the hall and to the front corner of the house by the driveway. At this location, a beam of light shone on him from directly above and he instantly found himself inside a "large circular room" that reminded the subject of a "hanger bay." The area was "dark and in shadows around the sides but brightly lit in the middle." Two small "Gray" aliens met the subject. He was instructed to disrobe. Each of the aliens took hold of his hands and led him out a door and into a "curved corridor with (a) ribbed or corrugated texture." + Both of the "Gray" aliens continued to look up at his face the entire time they were walking, never looking where they were going. After walking a distance, the subject was led through a door (which he later referred to as a "light portal") and into a side corridor that "went up at an angle." At the end of the incline the subject was met by a third alien, a "Brown" (being like the small "Grays" but taller, with a very pale brown or yellowish color). The subject identified this alien as the same one that was "always there" when he was abducted. At this point, the subject and the aliens were in a much larger and very straight corridor. They moved (the subject is not sure by what means, but thinks they may have "floated") at a very rapid speed along the corridor for a great distance, "not sure, about three quarters of a mile." There were numerous corridors going off to the sides that appeared to be curved. Eventually they stopped and the subject was taken into a room with curved walls. There were two other "Brown" aliens and an entity that "looked like a cross between a cockroach and a praying mantis." The subject also thought there was a another presence in the room but "back in the shadows, looks like it's wearing a hood like a monk." The subject was given a brief physical examination and then interrogated on a number of subjects. + The subject was asked how he knew about his abduction, how abductees identified each other and why they were meeting together. The subject tried to explain that a number of abductees experienced missing time or PAS (Post Abduction Syndrome) and that, under hypnosis, these memories were brought to the surface from the subconscious mind. The aliens then produced a "three dimensional image of the human brain" and asked the subject to locate the position of the subconscious mind. When the subject was unable to provide the information he "saw images" of other abductees that were "at a different location." The subject related that he was seeing these images through the aliens' minds as "they accessed" these individuals. He was able to describe the room they were in as he could see them "through the eyes of the alien in the room with them." The aliens seemed to be quite upset by his information and in doubt of the existence of the subconscious mind. + At this point a "tall human-looking, muscular individual" entered the room. He placed his hands on both sides of the subject's head and "looked back and forth" between both eyes. He stated to the others in the room that the subject was telling the truth (the subject did not know if this applied to his claim of the existence of the subconscious mind or of his honest statements about his beliefs). A period of discussion and accusation took place among the aliens as to "who's fault it was that humans were finding out about their abductions." The bulk of the blame being centered on the "Browns" for not following procedures. + At one point, the aliens became aware of the subject's ability to pick-up on their mental conversations and immediately, a small "Gray" entered the room and took hold of the subject's hand. This seemed to block his ability to pick-up on the alien communications. The subject tried to "mentally command the small Gray to let go." This caused the "Gray" to became visibly upset as the humanoid was commanding it to not let go. The subject stopped his efforts because he felt the small alien was suffering and did not like its distress. This seemed to puzzle the humanoid and he asked the subject why he stopped. The subject replied he "did not like to hurt living things." The human seemed to be impressed by this statement but made no comment or indication how he felt about the statement. + The aliens next caused the subject to hallucinate about clouds for a period. When the hallucination ended, the subject found himself inside some type of "compartment in a machine." The subject had no idea how long he had been there. He was then moved through another corridor and "light portal." The subject related that he "felt" as though he had traveled a long distance when he passed through the "light portal" and that the atmosphere of the place was very different from the other side of the portal. He was taken to another room. This room was circular with a domed ceiling and appeared to be a conference room of some sort. + The room was about 70 feet in diameter. The walls were a "metallic gray with a power blue tint." There was a raised dais at one end of the room, with large windows "looking out into blackness" (no stars could be seen). There was some type of seating in the room, but the subject was unable to describe it. There was a long table on the dais, but there was no one sitting there. + When the subject was taken to the "conference room," he was accompanied by two of the "Brown" aliens, a "Gray," and the "Praying Mantis/Cockroach." Shortly thereafter, a hooded figure whose face could not be seen by the subject entered. He was followed by a tall (7ft to 7ft 6in.) creature that was covered with "black hair and looked like a giant Wookie from Star Wars." Finally, the humanoid entered, and the subject was again asked a series of questions and discussions took place among the aliens. Again, the subject got the impressions of other abductees being "accessed" and asked the same questions "for comparison." More accusations were made about the "Browns" and "Grays" not following proper procedures. At one point, the hooded figure "Watcher" was called upon. This being "played back at incredible speed the events of the abductions" (in a matter of seconds). How this was done was not known by the subject, but it appeared that the aliens all considered the accounts to be factual and accurate. At one point the humanoid stated that the "project is compromised and may have to be terminated." + It is important to note that the subject says that he did not actually hear words, but rather, perceived the meaning of the thoughts in his head and applied the nearest words conveying the meaning. Subject DS92007PH has also expressed the same observation. Both of these individuals are "visual thinkers" (think in concepts not in words). It is believed this may be part of the reason they seem to have better communications with aliens. Often they are asked to "visualize" something when in communication with the aliens. + The session in the "Conference Room" lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, the humanoid turned to the subject and in spoken English asked "What would you like to do?" (this is the only time that the subject was ever spoken to verbally). The subject responded he "would like to go with (them)... and help to establish communication and understanding between them and us." (The subject finds this strange, as he is not sure that he really feels this way.) The alien responded that this was impossible, as he (the subject) was contaminated." (The subject has related that he does not understand the meaning of "contamination." He felt this was not in the physical or spiritual sense.) The subject was then asked what he knew about a government program, "Project Prometheus." The subject had no knowledge of such a project. +(Note: We have since found some references to a "Project Prometheus" that allegedly pertained to UFOs and alien life forms. However, it is unknown if this project was ever actually implemented, the full extent of its operations, or the government agency involved. + The subject was then taken to a smaller side room where the humanoid showed him a "strange sort of chart." The subject said it looked like a "distorted race track." The humanoid explained that the chart represented the progress of their "project" (though no explanation of the project was made or implied). According to the chart as explained by the humanoid, the subject guessed there was between 50 and 100 years left (although he was not sure he understood the chart.) There appeared to be thousand of symbols making up the background of the chart, although the subject thought it might only be a decorative background with no meaning at all. + The subject was then accompanied by one of the "Browns" (the one he "always sees") through a side door into a "large room that looked like a exhibition hall." The room was dark and had a number of animals that appeared to be mounted or preserved, and exhibits along the wall. Some where quite large; one creature looked like a cross between a hippopotamus and a elephant. (The creature described appears to be a platybelodon, a prehistoric creature from the Pliocene epoch.) The subject was moved through the room rapidly, then down a dark side corridor, through another brightly lit "light portal" that opened into a equally bright examination/operating room. This room was much brighter than any the subject had been in before. It had more of a laboratory-type feel about it. The room had a curve to it and large windows along the outer wall that also "looked out into blackness." The subject was placed on a "sort of chair/table" and a device with "two cone-like projections" were placed on his temples. This produced a complete numbing sensation throughout his entire body. The "Brown" aliens then inserted an object in the subject's nose. He was given a strange "brownish liquid" to drink and then taken through yet another "light portal" (he was not sure, as it may have been a "regular" door) that returned him to the room where he first arrived. He was told to dress and was returned to his bed, where he looked at the clock, saw the time was 3:38am, and went to sleep. On awaking, all knowledge of the incident was completely erased from his conscious memory. + On December 10, the subject sat on a group panel discussion with other abductees at the HUFON monthly meeting "Alien Abductions: Working with Abductees." Of the six abductees on the panel, four had been given implants 44 hours earlier. None were aware of their implants or abductions at the time. That night, after the subject had gone to sleep, two "Brown" aliens entered the subject's room, woke him, removed something from his nose, and left minutes later. + +Physical Evidence + In the home of the subject (built in 1979) nails holding the sheetrock in a stairway were coming out of the wall and through the sheetrock. On the roof of the house at the southwest corner, roofing nails were also working up through the roofing material. In addition, a metal strip holding siding under the lip of the roof had become detached due to the nails working out. (The owner had replaced the strip by the time observation of the roof was made, but nails were still scattered on the roof from its dislodging). The area in the stairway was one that subject claimed he and a "small gray alien wearing a harness/utility belt with pouches on it" had passed on the night of December the 8, 1992. According to the subject, the nails were noticed coming out of the wall shortly thereafter. The area on the roof corresponds to the corner of the house where the subject was standing when he was "beamed up" on December 8, 1992. + +The Stairway Nails + The nails on the interior walls in the stairway were on both sidewalls starting at the bottom of the wall and going up the wall to a height of about 3 feet. No nails were observed above this height, although at one point, the wall reaches a height of 15 feet. There were 15 nails coming out on the south wall of the stairway and 22 nails coming out of the north wall. The movement of the nails had only caused "bumps" on the sheet rock on 34 of the 37 nails. Three of the nails had broken the sheet rock with one that had actually come all the way through the sheetrock. The owner of the home had already pounded the nail back flush into the wall and painted over it ,but it was still clearly visible. None of the nails were removed from the wall, however, photographs of the nails and "bumps" were made. + +The Roof Nails + The nails on the roof were galvanized roofing nails. Of the nails found scattered on the roof, all were extremely rusted (this should not occur with galvanized nails) they had been laying on the roof for about 6 weeks (when the strip came loose). +The nails protruding through the roofing material were also heavily rusted. How long these nails were protruding is unknown. The subject said he had not noticed them the year before when he had cleaned pine needles from the roof. +Samples of the nails were taken for further study and photographs were taken of the nails on the roof. + + +Subject DM92003JA +Journal Entry - December 8 + The subject awoke with slight nose bleed from her left nostril. (This event is labeled as December 9, but the subject stated that she thought it was the 8th when she submitted it. The subject was unaware of other events, as nothing had come to light yet, so there is little likelihood of collaboration. + +Journal Entry - December 14 + Subject reported that for several days she had been feeling "panicky" and of being "trapped." She described the feeling as "like in something and can't get out, very scary. Feel I will die." + +Journal Entry - January 4 + Subject reported blood in left nostril. + +Journal Entry - January 8 + Subject reports feeling "spacey" and having "difficulty communicating" at HUFON meeting. Felt she was being watched. + +Journal Entry - January 14 + Subject reports having burning sensation in left eye "upper area under lid," it "hurts like heck." This was prior to going to bed. Before she fell asleep she felt a sting on her right thigh (about midnight). She and her husband looked and could find no insect or any sign of a sting or bite. + +Journal Entry - January 15 + Reports eye still "thumping and in same corner." Complains of being shocked all day when ever she gets close to metal. + +Journal Entry - January 17 + Subject learns for first time about the mass abduction of December 8 Incident. She claims to have had a "gut feeling I was there. I just know it." (Later during hypnosis session, the subject related events experienced and seen by others, but not revealed by investigators to anyone. + +Hypnosis Session + The subject was regressed to her nose bleed on December 9, and then back to the night of December 8. + The subject reported going to bed about 10:30 wearing a floral gown. She had no difficulty going to sleep. + The subject awoke (time unknown as she did not look at clock). A "short alien" was waiting for her. She was told to undress. The alien took her by the arm and led her "somewhere...up..!" When she arrived at their destination, two small aliens were standing by a door that was open. They left and several "others standing by (a) rail" complained about there being "another one." She was taken to a room where she saw her brother (who died several years before). She was glad to see him and thought she was dead also and had gone to heaven with him. She noticed that he "has strange black eyes" but assumed that is the way people look in heaven as others she saw earlier had strange eyes also. There were other people in the room but she was too consumed with "Roy" (her bother) to pay them any notice. + Once she complained of being hungry and was handed silverware by an alien. When she was asked to take a close look at it while under hypnosis, she reported that it was not silverware at all but some strange sort of instrument. + The subject described the room as large (20 to 30 feet wide not sure of length). The walls were round. At times she thought one wall was missing or open. + At one point she noticed a nude couple sitting against the wall opposite her. She realized that everyone was nude. She saw a small child in the room "playing with a toy." She did not know where he came from or went later. (It might have been a small "Gray;" nobody else reported a child but others did report "Grays" coming and going.) + Eventually, she was taken with most of the other abductees to an examination/operating room where she was given a nasal implant. After a period of waiting, she was returned to her home and bed. + The subject had vague memories of being interrogated and being told not to communicate with other abductees. Under hypnosis the subject seemed to be blocked when trying to relate certain events. At one point, the subject showed great physical distress while trying to relate an event and ultimately was unable to do so. +(Note: There is one other piece of information regarding this case. Shortly after learning of the December 8 event, the subject went to her physician. During the examination a lesion was noted in the nostril (possibly from the removal of the nasal implant). X-rays were taken but nothing was found. A copy of the physician's statement regarding the lesion is on file with the investigative team.) + + +Subject DS92004DK + Note: There is some question if this account should be included as a part of this event. The subject, who resides in Arizona, reported this event in late January. According to the subject, the event happened on January 8, 1993, whereas the event involving the previous abductees occurred on December 8, 1992. Additionally there are substantial differences regarding the descriptions of the aliens, dress of both the aliens and the subject. Also, the subject reports everything as being in a fog with no clear details. There was no physical examination or implantation. Additionally, there are some descriptions of objects given by the subject which cast great doubt concerning her association with the December 8 event. + Nevertheless, at least one abductee in the December 8 event stated under hypnosis that she "thought she saw (subject)." Also, the questions asked of the subject are identical to those asked of the abductees in the December 8 event. Because of the distance of the subject from Houston and the investigative team, no hypnosis was performed on the subject. It is very possible that much of what the subject has related and remembers could be a screen memory. + +January 8 +(Account taken from letter to Derrel Sims and phone conversations with Dale Musser.) + The subject reported being in a large round room. The room was "foggy" and objects were not clearly defined. There were seven humanoid (in appearance) aliens behind a curved conference table near one wall. All of the individuals in the room wore "robes" including the subject. The subject was questioned about her knowledge of her abductions. She was also asked about her relationship to Derrel Sims and the Abduction Support Group in Houston. When asked (by the investigators) about details of the questions asked, the subject was unclear as to the exact questions. + + +Subject DS92007PH + This subject was one of the very last interviewed, even though it is thought that her actions may have predicated the event (see "Note" at end). The subject is still undergoing investigation regarding the event. The awareness of this individual's involvement in the case was due to DS92002DM, who "saw her in a remote location in a state of suspended animation" and "being accessed by the aliens concerning technical matters." Because this individual lives several hundred miles from the other subjects, direct contact by the investigators has been delayed. However, the subject was contacted by phone and interviewed by two investigators. + The subject was not told of the event but was asked if there had been any "unusual events" since November. The subject related some indications of PAS (Post Abduction Syndrome) at Christmas time and indicated that she felt an event had occurred then. For the period during the first two weeks of December, she had no recollection of anything out of the ordinary. Care was taken so as not to give clues or lead the subject. This made questioning difficult. Had the subject been physically present, hypnosis would have been utilized. After almost an hour of questioning, it was still unclear if the individual had actually been involved in the event. Clearly, she had no conscious memory of this event. + It was felt by the investigators that since DS92002DM had reported both he and DS92007PH were questioned about the same material, that perhaps one of the more unusual questions might be recalled by DS92007PH. The subject was asked if the phrase "Project Prometheus" had any meaning for her. The subject reacted immediately and memories of the event began to come forth with some ease. + The subject was able to name several of the other abductees involved in the event with great accuracy and named the "prime players" first. Additionally, she revealed through her terminology that her awareness of the event was far greater then her conscious memory. Amazingly, she referred to events in the "conference room" and even used the term "conference" to describe the event. It is important to note that this individual had no contact with any of the individuals involved in this event since its occurrence. Nevertheless, without the use of hypnosis we were unable to obtain very much clear information beyond the fact that the subject was involved. Several times the subject expressed that she felt she was not "supposed to remember" the events, and was having difficulty remembering and relating them. + In March, an investigation team will be making a trip to Florida to obtain a more detailed report from the subject using hypnosis. As of this writing, the subject still has not been told details of the event or the reports of other abductees. +(Note: In November of 1992, subject DS92007PH was abducted. The subject maintained conscious memory for a fair amount of time into the abduction before the aliens were able to "zap" the subject (place the subject in a mental state where she no longer has conscious memories of the event. + At the beginning of the abduction, the subject was able to communicate with the aliens although they did not appear to be terribly inclined to communicate or reveal much information. As the aliens were completing their preparations for their examination, the subject felt herself losing mental control. The aliens began to reinforce their efforts to "zap" her. In one last effort to maintain consciousness and communication for as long as possible, she blurted out "We know what your're doing... We know about..." (subject still under investigation). This statement seemed to evoke a reaction on the part of the aliens and appears to have predicated the events of December 8, 1992.) + +Subject DS92009LT +Hypnosis Session - January 21 + At approximately midnight on the night of December 8, 1992, the subject and her husband were awakened and taken to a baseball field by their home. They entered a bright beam of light and seconds later found themselves in a round room with dark colored walls with a "woodlike texture" and appearance, "not metal but different than paneling!" + The subject observed a table, "wooden and boxlike (in) appearance," and a bench that ran around the wall. She also observed several other persons. Some she recognized from the Abductee Support Group (DS92034LC, DS92017RP and her own husband DS92009DT). There were others she did not recognize, some had their backs to her, some were seated with their heads down. All were nude, as were she and her husband. + Off in one end of the room, she saw several beings she believed were crossbreeds between aliens and humans. One was female, "very pale with large eyes" and "blond stringy, plasticlike hair. There were two others, one male and a female with black hair. + Two beings entered. One stood in front of her, the other in front of her husband. Both were short, muscular, and bald with large eyes "but not as large as the "Grays" and more inset." She believed these also were some sort of hybrids. + She was questioned by the one in front of her. "How do the abductees know they have been abducted?, What do the abductees know (about the aliens)?" They asked her about Derrel Sims (HUFON investigator) and told her she should "not tell him anything." They told her she should not discuss her abductions with anyone and that she should not trust any of the abductees (husband included). + She was taken with other abductees to another room. She was placed on a table and they looked at her eyes. They took a "long skinny instrument" with a cuplike end on it. The aliens then performed an operation on the subject's eye. When they finished, she was told to get off the table. She was dizzy and sat on the floor. They picked her up and took her down an illuminated hallway "as long as three houses or longer." Eventually the subject and her husband were returned to their home. + +December 10 +(At home in bed after the HUFON meeting "Working with Abductees" ) + The subject heard a sound at the bedroom door. It was her daughter, behind her were several aliens. They took the subject "out and up." Her daughter was crying, and she was taken someplace else. The subject was placed on a table. She saw the long skinny instrument they had used on her eye. The aliens performed some procedure on her eye again (she thinks they removed something). She saw designs on the walls. Again, she was told not to tell anyone anything and was threatened with physical harm if she did. As a means of backing up this threat, they cut off her finger and then reattached it to demonstrate the pain they can inflict. This may have been a mental projection, or real; regardless, the pain the subject felt was the same. (Note: The investigators were very moved by the anguish the subject appeared to be enduring while relating this event and do not doubt she experienced great pain.) The subject and her daughter were then returned to their home. + +December 11 +At work place (morning) + The subject suddenly felt an irritation in her eye "that really hurt." Leaning over desk, she rubbed her eye. A small flesh-colored object fell out of her eye and onto her desk. The subject turned the object over to Derrel Sims. + +Physical Evidence + The object is hard, flesh-colored, and about the size of a small mustard seed. It is somewhat egg-shaped with the small end open. (approx 3/32 in. long by 1/16 in wide). +The object was examined and photographed from numerous angles and with various magnifications with a microscope. The object appears not to be organic, but seems to be manufactured out of some type of plastic. It is flesh-toned and egg-shaped with the narrow end open with jagged edges like one would find on an egg with the top broken off. At a magnification of 100x the surface appears to be smooth and shiney. There are several small cracks on the surface trailing away from the "broken-off end" similar to those on a broken egg shell. Under higher magnification (300x), a small crystal cube (sodium chloride) could be seen in one of the cracks. This is assumed to have come from salt from a dried tear from the subject's eye. At a magnification of 500x ,the surface of the object appears to be dimpled, but not porous. +The inside of the object reveals an interior surface similar to the exterior. One small black filament could be observed inside the object. It is unknown if this was a part of the object, part of its contents, or some foreign material which may have found its way into the object. + It was impossible to tell precisely what this object is with any certainty. We are unable to identify it as any natural or man-made object. It would appear that the object was intended to encapsulate or house some other object. One could theorize that its flesh-colored appearance is intended to camouflage its existence. It is possible, if facts related by the subject are correct, that this object was the housing for whatever was implanted in her eye. + Several persons have speculated this object could not have been in the subject's eye, as the discomfort would have been extreme. However, if the object were lodged back in the eye socket where there are less surface nerves on the eye, or if the eye were anesthetized by some means, it is not improbable. It is difficult to believe that an object of this size could have gotten into an individual's eye (undetected) by natural means, though it is not impossible. + +Subject DS92017RP +Journal Entry - December 22 + The subject said that she had a dream of being in a "big room." There were other people in the room, but she did not pay much attention to them. There was one large (nude) man she thought she recognized (DS92008DT), Subject also claimed to be having "negative dreams about Derrel Sims (chief abduction investigator) and that she should "stay away from him" and "not tell him anything." +Subject stated she had been "waking up standing in her den" on several occasion during the week of December 7. This is not where she went to sleep. + +Hypnosis Session + This subject related, under hypnosis, being abducted on December 8, 1992, and being taken by two aliens to a "large round room" wherein other abductees were located. She related that all of the abductees were naked. When asked who she recognized, she reported seeing DS92008DT & DS92009LT, she thought she also saw DS92034LC but was not sure as she only "saw her from the back" and could not see her face. +The subject also stated she saw DS92002DM standing behind a podium (this is the position where the other abductees reported seeing the alien, although DS92002DM claims he was never with the other abductees; one other abductee also reported seeing him in the assembly room). The subject wandered around the room which she described as being "whitish-gray" and "sort of like a egg-shell texture" (this also differs from the description of "dark wood-grainlike wall reported by most of the others). + At one point the subject reported hitting one of the aliens (small gray) and that her hand sank into it "like a jelly fish." + While wandering around the room the subject passed through a door and into another room where she was stopped by a taller ("Brown"?) alien who forcible returned her to the others. + The subject reported being taken into a examination/operating room with abductees and given and examination by a taller ("Brown"?) alien who put his hands on her head and looked in her eyes. + The subject also reported the aliens as having four fingers, though she was not sure. Also, she thought their fingers looked like suction cups on some but not all of the aliens. + +Comments On +Subject DS92017RP + DS92017RP's testimony differs in many respects from the other abductees. Were it not for the fact that several individuals identified her as being in the "assembly room" with them, her testimony would be very questionable. One of the possible explanations may be due to the "hallucinative" conditions in the room. It is possible that the subject saw the room differently where others saw the people differently. Another difference is in the case of the other subjects, each related to receiving a great deal of individual attention, whereas DS92017RP seemed to be left on her own to wander about. + Certainly, the descriptions of the sequence of events seem to parallel those of the other abductees in the "assembly room." + Another explanation for the differences may be caused by the subjects reluctance to undergo hypnosis. As a result, the subject only entered a very light state of hypnosis that may not have been enough to overcome any hallucinative "screen memory." + There are other possible explanations as well. We are not trying to make the story fit nor are we trying to discard it, we are merely looking at the possibilities. + + +Subject: DS92034LC +Hypnosis Session-February 11 + The information reported on this date had previously been reported to Mr. Musser in the first week of January, about the time the investigative team began to suspect something of importance had occurred. At the time, the subject was completely unaware of any of the happenings or occurrences with the other abductees. The information given on the second telling was consistent with the information given to Mr. Musser on the earlier date and checked out with the notes he had taken on that occasion. The reason for the session on February 11, was to record on tape the subject's telling of the event in her own terms. The individual's memory of the events were very clear and detailed, although seen from the perspective of the screen memory. For reasons we will not relate here, the subject was not regressed in hypnosis, nor do we anticipate doing so in the future. + The subject related the event as a dream, though she claimed that the event "felt real." In her dream, she was taken (not sure how) to a large circular room about 20 to 30 feet in diameter (subject related this by comparing with size of the room we were in during the interview). + The subject stated that she was nude and vaguely aware of others in the room, but did not pay any attention to them. Though she did not specifically know who or where any of the abductees were, she did (when names of abductees in the Abduction Support Group were given) point out who she thought was there and where they were in relationship to herself. (The persons she indicated were all later identified as persons who have related events in this same room.) + The subject stated the walls of the room were a "dark mahogany in color... with a dark grain appearance." They also appeared to be highly polished. The subject did not think they were really wood. + Off from the middle of the room, and closer to the far end of the room from the door, was a "a wooden throne" that was connected to both the floor and the ceiling and which the subject claimed to appear to be growing out of both. After about twenty minutes of waiting, a figure appeared and sat in the chair. The subject believed this individual was Christ and was in awe. The figure spoke to her and called her "my child." She was unable to remember what the individual said, but was sure it was good. Shortly thereafter, her memory fades and the subject has no further recollection. + Within several days of the second telling of this event, the subject called Mr. Musser to say she was withdrawing from the Abductee Support Group. Feelings of great despair and anguish had come upon her after relating the event and she was "beginning to have horrible memories" (she did not relate). She did state that she had a dream wherein the image of her deceased grandfather came to her and chastised her for her involvement with the Abduction Support Group. Similar stories have been reported by most of the abductees since the December 8 event. + +Comments on the "Assembly Room Experience" + The assembly room sequence as experienced by the subjects is one of the most interesting of the case. There is both a great degree of agreement and disagreement concerning it. + All of the individuals involved in the assembly room event described it shape as being round (see figures). Of the five individuals known to have been in the room and the one who "saw" the room through the eyes of the "alien" in the room, four say the walls were of a dark mahogany color and appeared to have a dark heavy wood grain. Two individuals reported the surface as being highly polished, others were unsure. One individual reported the walls as being "whitish" in color and textured "like a egg shell." One abductee was not questioned concerning the room as both he and his wife were in the room together. Since he was present during her hypnotic regression we did not want to risk his information being prejudiced by her account. + All of the individuals involved reported that they and all others were nude. + Of the six individuals who where in, or saw the room, four said that there were two doors or accesses, and one reported only one (but was not sure if there was another or not). Again, the sixth individual's (the husband) comments have not been taken into account. + Of the five persons known to have been in the room, two had pleasant or benign experiences, while three had unpleasant or horrible experiences. + Accounts of what happened to each in the room vary greatly. Each perceived the events differently yet parallel. + DM92003JA believed she had died and "gone to Heaven" and that she was with her "deceased brother" who had "strange eyes." + DS92009LT recounted that she was questioned and "told not to communicate with other abductees" or the investigators. She was also told to avoid her husband (also an abductee). Additionally, she was threatened with physical harm if she did not obey and was given a sample of what they would do to her if she did not cooperate. + DS92034LC believed she was with "Christ, who was sitting on a large throne and surrounded by a fog so his image could not be seen." + DS92017RP did not seen to know where she was and wandered about, leaving the room at one point to be forcibly returned by the aliens. + DS92008DT has not been questioned concerning the event. + DS92002DM who was not in the room but "saw it thought the eyes of the alien in the room," claims all the individuals in the room appeared to be in a "drugged hallucinatory state." He also felt the individuals were basically unaware of each other. + Of the individuals in the room, three reported receiving implants in another room. The fourth (not questioned) was reported by two individuals as having been seen in the examination room where the implants were given. One abductee may not have received any implant (she has no recall of implantation, nor was she seen in the room were the implants took place. This individual did not sit on the panel discussion at HUFON the following night either, a fact some feel indicates that the implants were intended to monitor the HUFON meeting. + Of the seven known persons involved in the December 8 event, only two provided some degree of resistance. A third subject attempted at one point trying to "gain mental control" of the small "Gray" with some minor success before being thwarted. This was accomplished by means of a hypnotic suggestion given to the individual in an earlier session with Derrel Sims. + The differences in the accounts describing events in the "Assembly Room" seem to indicate the degree of mental control that was being exerted over the subjects in the room. When subjects were moved to another room, their memories of the event are much clearer and descriptions are more detailed and similar. +Individuals in the "Assembly Room" seem to have only been asked questions concerning how they knew about their abductions, and how and why abductees were meeting together. + Of the abductees elsewhere (DS92007PH in "stasis" somewhere, and DS92002DM possibly in yet another location) the same questions were asked, but with the addition of numerous technical questions of a scientific / biological nature. + Subjects in the "Assembly Room" were not always engaged by the aliens at all times. Whereas the subjects elsewhere seemed to be continuously engaged by the aliens either by questioning or examinations. + +Remarks and Observations + The event on December 8, 1992, has opened a new chapter in abduction investigations. The information we have received has far-reaching implications, the extent of which we have just begun to realize. There is still much to be done. Over ten hours of taped interviews and hypnosis sessions have yet to be transcribed. More regressions with subjects to dig deeper into events and details will be forthcoming. But what we have learned already is a giant step forward. + We have learned that it is possible to provoke a response from the aliens. We have determined from their questioning that they do not wish us to know, remember, or discuss our abductions. We have learned that acts of kindness and terror are inflicted by the same aliens, not two different groups as some have theorized. We have discovered that screen memories are not the same for all abductees in an event, though details may be the same. From this we can theorize as to the nature of the screen memories, how these are created and how to "see through" them and possibly prevent them in the future. + Prior to this event, we did not know that implants were removed as well as implanted. We can now speculate as to the nature and intent of implants. We can, based on information retrieved from this event, develop a profile to indicate the probabilities of implants, when they occurred and when they may be, or have been, removed. + We now have in our possession an object that may be part of an implant. Further analysis of this object may shed further light into the purposes of implants, the technology of the abductors, and a means for the detection of future implants. + We have also been alerted to a possible government program "Project Prometheus," a project we were previously ignorant of and which we still know little about. Two months have passed since learning of this project; information concerning it is scant at best. What is this project and why are the aliens interested in this project? Why did they think we might know about it, or were they trying to make us aware of it? + +What Has Happened Since + We cannot end this report without relating events occurring since the event of December 8. Nearly all of the abductees in the Houston support group (there are over forty) have experienced "warnings" not to talk about or reveal information about their abductions. They have been told specifically not to trust Derrel Sims, Dale Musser, Patrice Eldridge, or any of the investigators. They have been bombarded with strange and sudden feelings not to attend meetings, and feelings of depression and despair when they do. These warnings have come in many fashions--mostly in dreams. Usually, a highly respected individual, one of importance in the subject's life, delivers the warning. For many, the feeling of distrust comes on so suddenly and so strong as to be overwhelming to the subject. It is the bizarre nature of these dreams and feelings which tend to strongly contradict the facts that have caused most abductees to reject them. However, this has not been true in all case. Some abductees have dropped out of the support group and investigation program. After hearing their stories, we can understand and sympathize with them and wish them well. We hope that one day circumstances may change and they may once again be able to be in contact and work with us again. + + +Abductee Profiles: + +DS92002DM +Age: 48 +Sex: Male +Marital Status: Married, one child +Ethnic Background: Caucasian, American born German heritage +Occupation: Engineering +Other Information:Genius level IQ + +DS92004DK +Age: 30's +Sex: Female +Marital Status: Divorced +Ethnic Background: Caucasian, American Indian/Irish heritage +Occupation: Clerical +Other Information: Account differs from others in numerous areas.

The reports were barely +printed when DS92002DM received a phone call from an individual who +we'll call Bill (not his real name). This individual had been with +DS92002DM on the abduction that caused DS92002DM to become +aware of his abductions (a missing time event). Three years had passed +before he found out about the event and Bill had moved away with out +leaving a forwarding address shortly after the abduction. DS92002DM +was surprised by the call, Bill said he had been thinking about +DS92002DM and the trip they had taken. He related the events of the +trip and mentioned the "strange blue light" seen by the subjects just +before the abduction took place. DS92002DM asked the subject what +was the next event he could remember and the subject responded with +an event three hours later. When DS92002DM asked Bill if he remembered +anything at all of the road between the point where they saw the blue +light and the location hundreds of miles later, Bill began to laugh +nervously. When DS92002DM started to relate events as revealed +during his hypnosis session, Bill became hysterical and did not want to +discuss the event further. Bill also related that he had been feeling +depressed and lethargic "...since Christmas." + + On March 15, 1993, DS92002DM met with subject DS92021SM whom +he had not seen in several months. DS92021SM currently lives in the +western part of the state and only comes to Houston rarely. He is also +the individual who witnessed DS92002DM's abduction in June of 1992 +and saw the aliens taking him away. It is because of this and his having +been processed earlier concerning the June event that the subject has a +case number (video tapes on file with investigators). DS92021SM was +unaware of eventsconcerning the mass abduction, (he is not a member +of HUFON or any UFO organization and has had little interest in the +subject prior to recent events). DS92021SM related to DS92002DM and +to two investigators that he believed he had seen a alien in his room +"...early to mid-December, not sure of date," and that after that he +suffered symptoms similar to those he had in June after DS92002DM's +abduction (Post Abduction Syndrome). The subject related that he also +discovered several needle marks "... in a line above his navel" about the +same time. + + Subject DS92007PH, who was in the December abduction, has also +reported having needle marks both prior to and after the December 8th +abductions. + + Subject DS92003JA, who was involved in the December abduction +visited her sister who lives in a neighboring state. Both she and her +sister have reported being abducted as children. According to +DS92003JA her sister has made statements that would indicate that she +was abducted on or about the time of the December 8th event. + + What does this all mean? Based on the statements of the abductees +in the December 8th event we know the aliens were concerned about +how abductees knew/found out about their abductions. There were +indications that the aliens were investigating their own procedures for +flaws and indications were made that they were reviewing their +procedures. If this is true, individuals present during the abductions of +the subjects in the December 8th event may have also been abducted +for questioning. This may have occurred on December 8th, or shortly +thereafter. We do know that there are several persons reported by +subjects in the December 8th event that have not been identified. We +still have several subjects who may have been associated with the +December 8th event that have not been processed. Bill's call may have +been prompted by memories stimulated when he may have also been +picked up and questioned in December. Similar events may be true also +for DS92021SM and DS92003JAs' sister. It has become obvious that the +investigations of the December 8th event may have only begun. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +Project Prometheus: Subtle Hint or Threat to the Aliens? + +Since learning the details of the mass abduction of December 8, 1992, we +have been seeking any information that could lead us to further details +concerning the nature of a "Project Prometheus." During the mass +abduction, at least two of the abductees were asked by the abducting +entities what they knew about "Project Prometheus." At that time, none +of us, abductees or investigators, had ever heard of it. + +Shortly before the publication of "The Abduction Event of December 8, +1992" (released in March, 1993), we learned that a "Project Prometheus" +had been proposed to the U.S. Government some time in the past. No +date was indicated when this proposal was made, who chaired the +proposal or the branch of the government it was related to. The sketchy +details available about this project concerned acquiring advanced +technology (from alien sources?) by any means possible. Though the +term "alien" was not used in the description, indications were clearly +made with references to advanced flight capabilities of UFOs. + +Armed with this tidbit of information we falsely assumed more would +follow in short order. It did not. Then on March 15, 1993, a book was +found in storage at the Houston Public Library titled The Prometheus +Project. The book was written in 1968 by Gerald Feinberg, Ph.D. +Although the book was in storage (not out on the shelves) it was still +available to be checked out. + +Well, it wasn't what we thought. Not that the book doesn't relate to +things pertaining to possible alien interests, it does. It's just that we +expected something more covert. Project Prometheus, as put forth by +Dr.Feinberg, is a project proposed by a group of scientists to determine +long range goals for the human race. One of these long range goals +would be the "...spread of the human race beyond the confines of earth +to other stellar systems, either for exploration or for eventual +inhabitation of them." Other goals include changing our own +environment, bioengineering, life extension, and greater insight as to the +nature of things. + +Then several weeks later in a discussion with a retired navy officer, I +inquired if he had ever heard of a Project Prometheus. He replied that he +had and related that in the early 1970s he was a navy commander +working in the Pentagon on a project for the early warning system. +Much of this equipment was installed in Alaska and was used to detect +a early aerial attack from the former Soviet Union. The portion he was +involved with was a submarine detection system installed between +England and Iceland to monitor marine traffic coming out of the +Norwegian Sea. While working on this project, he learned that certain +types of alerts were to be reported to Project Prometheus. He inquired +of his commanding officer as to what Project Prometheus was and was +informed "It's a skunk works. I wouldn't ask about it anymore if I were +you." (A "skunk works" is an insider's term for a secret project). + +We have also received information that there exists in a book titled +Teller's War a reference to a Project Prometheus. According to this +book, Project Prometheus was associated with the Star Wars program +and was developing a weapon that fired nuclear projectiles to shoot +down and/or cripple satellites or space craft.

The +key is "Ed," a home builder with bizarre tales of encounters he claims are +continuing. + In the March edition of MUFON's "UFO Journal," investigators +offer one possible explanation for why Ed is privy to sightings: aliens +may have placed an implant in his head in an abduction years ago, and the +implant is now being activated. + Hoax or not, it's garnered a lot of interest from a local weekly. + It all began when the Gulf Breeze Sentinel on Nov. 19 published +Polaroid photos of a glowing object. The anonymous photographer claimed +they were taken Nov. 11. He said he would come forward if others saw the +same thing. + The following week the paper published accounts from other residents +who claimed they saw a similar object, and other photos taken by two other +anonymous photographers. + The newspaper has had nearly weekly updates ever since. This week +the paper published a four-page insert with more photos and an open letter +from "Ed." In addition to a picture purporting to show a UFO with a light +beam shining down, the insert has a drawing of a 4-foot-tall alien with +almond shaped eyes and carrying a silver wand. + Two daily newspapers that previously ignored the sightings last week +ran stories, and a local television station had a three-part series about +Ed's sightings. The editor of the Gulf Breeze paper said he has talked to +reporters from Miami and Orlando and the National Enquirer in Lantana. + The photographs have been scrutinized by many people who claim to be +photo experts. Some say they are the real thing, others say they are set +up. None has said how they were doctored. + Ed's reliability is the key, and he has made some incredible claims. + The article in the MUFON publication said it was premature to make a +judgment about the validity of the case, but does call the sightings an +"incredible UFO photographic and CE-III (Close Encounter of the Third +Kind) case." + It describes in detail 13 alleged encounters "Ed" had. They range +from hearing a "humming" in his head to a Jan. 12 incident where he claims +he was stopped by a UFO that landed in front of his truck and saw five +aliens approaching. + He left, in great haste. + On several other occasions, Ed claims he was caught in a blue beam +that held him fast in place. Once it levitated him toward their craft, +then let him go for reasons unknown. + He has also told investigators he has heard voices, telling him not +to be afraid and to stop resisting. He claims he is tipped off to the UFOs +appearance by a humming sound in his head. + Because of the humming sound, MUFON investigators have supplied Ed +with a two-way radio so he can tell them when an experience occurs. He has +done so, but so far no investigators have seen a UFO. + The MUFON article ventured to theorize about why Ed has been singled +out. + "There is a possibility that Ed may have had an implant installed in +his head at some time in his life" that was only recently activated, the +article said. + The MUFON article said it normally does not publish sighting reports +until being thoroughly investigated. But it said it was making an +exception because it is an "ongoing" case with continuing sightings. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Do they have their own documentation +of their work? This sort of performance piece does not +spring full-blown from the artistic souls of white-collar or +blue-collar functionaries. 2/ The single example of how +they did it showed only a single circle and a portion of a +line -- they didn't go so far as to reproduce any of their +other designs. 3/ The design they said they worked from +gave no indication of scale. How did they determine scale, +working together? How did they maintain precise angles and +preciser curves with apparatus comprised of a board hung +around their necks on a rope. Symmetry that is exact over +the area of a soccer field is difficult to maintain. 4/ How +did they evade detection of watchdogs, and the alarms of +other animals? 5/ How did they work silently together, how +did they reproduce a freehand sketch with only their unequal +foot-strides as measurement to give such intricate and +careful designs? Operating not only silently, but without +light or guide-lines? 6/ How did they reproduce designs +following invisible ley lines, yet against visible field +lines -- as if they had arranged living room furniture with +reference to true north rather than according to the room's +walls? 7/ How did they manage more than one field in a +night? Producing two of their most complicated designs? 8/ +The designs are based on a number of different sources, most +of them English or Keltic? It would be interesting to see +the range of the actual books or sources for their designs. +9/If they began simply and close to home, then the normal +tendency would be to radiate the scope and placement of +their work. The work only moved westward. What compelled +this decision? 10/ With instruments that are meters wide +how did they manage to bend individual stalks in a spiral +pattern at the interior of circles? 11/ Would they please +to reproduce one of their patterns, during the day? + +If these two artists are the genuine cause of the crop +circles, they should be able to answer all of the above +questions.

Or perhaps there are many who will see in this nothing +at all for comment. + +Our government has been slothful when it comes to the +devising of national standards: we can't get together on +HDTV, there are no standards for cellular phones, none for +computer operating systems (and there was a time when such +a standard was eagerly sought by the community), and we +should be on the metric system now -- but the government +decided to freeze all the funds that were to be used to +implement it. + +With this in mind, I was very surprised to learn today that +a governmental commission had come up with some very +specific recommendations for national standards on an issue +I consider less important than any of those above. The +issue: computer data encryption. + +As things stand now, encryption is in a very good state, by +using two different keys, one of which is secret between +sender and receiver, and another which can be public. This +allows not only for the encoding of data and message, but +can also guarantee the authenticity of the sender's +"signature". I have read no dissent to the evaluation of +this public key encryption: it will not be solvable in our +lifetime. This encryption is available on PCTools (as +PCSecure), and this little program is capable of meeting +the encryption and destruction standards of the US +Department of Energy, and it cannot be exported. + +Our encryption standards committee, however, has +recommended a different method of encryption, one based on +the calculation of discrete logarithms. It is acknowledged +to be not as secure as the public key method; it has not +even been extensively tested yet; and at present, no one +actually uses it. If this becomes standard, then any +encryption required to meet government standards will +actually be less secure than those which do not have to +meet federal standards. + +Now, you may look at this as another example of puzzling +bureaucratic inefficiency. But I see patterns here, and a +not-very-well-hidden agenda. When I first heard of this, I +said to myself, the CIA or the NSA is in this mix.

I'll give here some of the highlights -- I'm +sorry, but copyright prevents me from uploading the +articles and reviews en masse. + +First, regarding Herstmonceaux Castle that I had mentioned. +Bob Sabaroff was right, and so was I. This was the home of +the Royal Greenwich Observatory for 40 years. It was sold +in 1988 to James Developments, who announced plans to turn +it into a golf course and country club. Nothing came of +this. In 1990 it was put up for sale again, and the two +bidders were Kyoto Broadcasting and an unidentified group +of American investors. The Americans won the bid, but +failed to come up with the cash. There is now no buyer, +and since 1988 the obversatory and castle, in the midst of +extensive grounds, have been unoccupied. There have been +protests against the government's inept handling of this +sale, claiming that initially the property was grossly +underpriced. + +Second, regarding the Hoaxters. The crop circle that they +reproduced was not actually documented -- there is no +videotape of their work on that circle nor on any other. +They are no longer granting interviews, and have not been +questioned by crop circle experts. They left England the +day before yesterday, embarked on a world tour sponsored by +Rupert Murdoch. Speakers at the Crop Circle "Cornference" +last week saw this as possibly more sinister than an +attempt to sell more of Murdoch's newspapers. "Looking at +the way the British Army hoaxed a circle last year in order +to get rid of the media attention, they feel that there is +some intelligence Service involvement in this." + +Third, a few statistics. (I know that I neglected to think +these through and perhaps others did as well.) Crop +circles of course require crops to be seen. This pretty +much limits them to the English growing season, which for +these cereals is approximately mid-June to late September - +- generously, 120 days. In 1990 there were 710 recorded +crop circles, which means just about 6 every night, 7 +nights a week for the entire growing season. + +This suggests several things. The schedule is too much for +two retired men to accomplish. But let us suppose that all +of these circles were hoaxes -- how many hoaxters does it +take to accomplish this startling feat? And can that many +hoaxters all work with the same nuances of technique? +(Where are they practicing and training?) And who are +these hoaxters that they are so silent when others claim +credit? England is a very small country -- the size of +Alabama, in fact -- and this region is only a couple of +counties. Ventura and Los Angeles counties would be a good +approximation of size, I would think. What large-scale +human movement can be hidden on this small scale? Even if +you could have it all done by six highly-trained crop +commandoes, you're going to need a central planning +committee to map out possible fields, someone to make +assignments, and making contingency provision for finding +fields under surveillance. Other than the various groupings +of military researchers, the only people bizarrely +imaginative enough to orchestrate something like this are +involved in investigating the phenomena. + +In an upcoming message: The Scientific Explanations and +Research into Columnar Microwave Radiation... + + +Message #869 - SCIENCE & HEALTH FORUM +From: Stanley Sheff 86 +To: Michael McDowell 1018 +Date: 09-16-91 01:09:41 +Subject: Hoaxes + +Have you considered the possiblity that there could be a +community of hoax perpetrators?

Peter Handel (U. +Missouri) suggested that a low temperature plasma generated +by microwaves might explain ball lightning, which is +thought to be a related phenomenon. Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki, a +Japanese scientist, who is the foremost scientist to study +the phenomenon has modified this idea: + +"He envisages a spinning core of positive ions ... +surrounded by a shell composed of the liberated electrons. +The two are kept apart by pressure from microwaves trapped +in the plasma. It is here that the questions start. The +trapped microwave field inside the sphere needs outside +energy to keep it going. Where that energy comes from is +not yet clear." + +... + +But even closer to what Sabaroff has proposed and what I +entirely agree with is the conclusions of the following +article: "Atmospheric plasma-vortex phenomenon and its +circular ground traces known as the circles effect", by G +Terence Meaden in the Journal of Meteorology, May/June 89. +Meaden works for the CERES (the Circles Effect Res. Unit) +or the Tornado and Storm Research Organization, +Bradford-on-Avon. From an abstract: + +This precision of airflow in a tight, ultra-circumferential +belt strongly hints at an origin promoted by an induced +current of atmospheric ions. ... Furthermore, good evidence +is available for attendant acoustic, luminous, and +radio-frequency electromagnetic effects. High rotational +speeds could give the shape a flattened spheroidal or +discoidal appearance, while a continuously-replenished +electrical discharge illuminates it, causing the humming +noise so typical of atmospheric vortices. Lifetimes are +considerably longer than for ball lightning because it is +expected that steady losses from discharge effects due to +recombination and leakage are balanced by inputs piped +along the conducting channel of the parent columnar vortex. +... The dangers posed to low-flying aircraft by the +presence of such poweful vortices as a form of low-level +clear air turbulence are stressed. + +All of the above is consistent with maser microwave +radiation directed to the ground from a satellite poised +above England. In fact, the scientists' chief difficulty +seems to be finding a method for microwave radiation to be +replenished. It should also be pointed out that while +maser/laser output absolutely does produce the effects +noted above, there is no evidence whatever of atmospheric +conditions which do. Ball lightning, probably related, was +reproduced in the laboratory for the first time last year; +before that few scientists believed the phenomenon even to +exist. + + +Message #876 - SCIENCE & HEALTH FORUM +From: Bob Sabaroff 56 +To: Michael McDowell 1018 +Date: 09-17-91 04:26:24 +Subject: Can it be that the circle is closing...? + +Michael, I'm not saying this because your awesome research +tends to validate our particular POV's (well, it did cross +my mind...), but because that's an awesome piece of +research. + +Even given my own, to put it mildly, predisposition to the +satellite-borne maser theory, I found it stunning.

There was as well a number of +circles mixed in among the real ones which were clearly the +work of amateur fakers. The scientists had little +difficulty discriminating between the real and the fake - +especially when the fakers, discouraged, abandoned their +stakes, strings, and planks as well as their half-completed +circles. + +What caught my eye in your message, though was, +'Furthermore, good evidence is available for attendant +acoustic, luminous, and radio-frequency electromagnetic +effects.' + +I saw footage on that too. The acoustic or electromagnetic +effects, or some of them, anyway, are detectable with an +ordinary microphone, and the film crew resorted to the +simple expedient of filming their own soundman walking +first around the circumference of a circle which had +appeared some hours previously, then along a diameter, and +letting us hear the attendant noise. It was quite +pronounced - we heard it against the foreground of the +people's voices.

These +anomalies have been studied by much more sophisticated +means than a soundman tramping around with a Nagra, but it +was interesting that evidence of something rather beyond +two duffers with a plank could be picked up so simply. + +The other point from your message which I think the hoax +theorists fail to note is that real scientists like Terence +Meaden, Peter Handel, and Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki are seriously +studying the phenomena, their work published by a Journal +of Meteorology, and perhaps by other scientific +publications. Since highly reputable scientists have been +known to commit scientific fraud and, even more commonly, +entertain wildly ludicrous hypotheses, I wouldn't begin to +suggest that their interest in the subject compels belief +in any particular theory, but it does suggest that there +are people around who can make short shrift of the two- +duffers if they fail, for instance, to produce or account +for the characteristic 'acoustic, luminous, and radio- +frequency electromagnetic effects.' + + +Message #886 - SCIENCE & HEALTH FORUM +From: Ed Mann 58 +To: Michael McDowell 1018 +Date: 09-17-91 18:47:13 +Subject: Circlews + +It's the pixies, Michael. + + +Message #888 - SCIENCE & HEALTH FORUM +From: Michael McDowell 1018 +To: All +Date: 09-17-91 22:07:55 +Subject: Scientific RoundUp & News on Herstmonceaux + +I'm going to try to make this my final message on the Crop, +and indeed I have just a few points more to make on the +scientific question. + +This season, 1991, crop circles have spread across Europe, +with notable formations appearing in Sweden, near Wiesbaden +and near Cologne in Germany, in the Netherlands, in Italy, +in Bulgaria, in Yugoslavia, and in Siberia.

This issue discusses +some of the highlights of the UFO sightings that have +occurred in the area over the past year. The first article is by the +primary photographer "Ed". Others are written by: Donald Ware, +Florida state MUFON director; and Duane Cook, editor of The +Sentinel. The articles are reproduced here with the permission +of The Sentinel. + +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +ED SHARES PAST YEAR'S EXPERIENCES ON UFO SIGHTING'S +ANNIVERSARY + + On Nov. 11, 1987, as I opened the front door and stared at the +glowing object partly obscured by several pine trees, I stepped +into a phenomena that jolted me to the reality of UFOs. A +phenomena that is being witnessed all over the world and here +at home by dozens of our fellow residents. This reality may be +hard to accept for those who have not had a sighting, so I do not +try to convince or persuade. I have only reported my personal +sightings and incidents as they happened. + + The resulting photographs and video tape I took of the UFO +have been validated by computer imaging (Dr. Maccabee, physicist +with the U.S. Navy). And, of course, there are otheres who feel +differently and offer little other than opinions. + + When I was asked to use a 4 lens Nimslo 3-D sealed camera, +I did. When I was asked to use the SRS (Self Referencing Stereo) +camera, I did. The technical analysis of these photographs +produced page after page of data with the end result detailing an +object 14 foot in diameter at the bottom ring and 475 feet distant. + + The accusation of hoax came fast from those unable to say +"maybe", and I was asked to take a lie detector test. Again the +ridicule was hurled toward me and yet another lie detector test. + + As the controversy swirled, I began to hear preposterous tales +being spread by the debunkers about devil parties and "ultimate +pranks," etc. Those of you who know me will certainly laugh at +such claims, but the object was to discredit me in the eyes of those +who don't know me. There was a very serious attempt to destroy +my reputation by twisting spooky party games into ritual seances. +Having failed to discredit the photographic evidence, the out of +town critics have mounted a slander campaign hoping to brand me. +Thank you Gulf Breeze for ignoring these outrageous rumors. + + Some of you may remember the front page headline "Expert +says Photos a Hoax." The next day the "expert" publicly retracted +his claim and apologized. A counterintelligence agency in +Maryland was given an audio tape of me being interviewed. The +resulting examination of the tape on a PSE (Psychological Stress +Evaluator) vindicated my word once more when the examiner +said the result "does not show any reaction to cause this examiner +to doubt his (Ed's) answers." + + Soon I began to understand that no matter how many tests I +was subjected to and how many times the photographs were +analyzed, I was still open game for the out of town media and +clearly a target to be ridiculed by the out of town debunkers. +Many distant newspapers and TV crews played "hide and seek" +with reporting the accurate details, and several times I have +been blackmailed in their quest for a scoop to expose my name. + + The official MUFON investigation was even infiltrated early +by a debunker who took a liquid sample suspected to have fallen +from the UFO for analysis only to issue a false report. Later the +sample was analyzed by an independant lab with startling results. +The debunker was exposed and fired in discredit. Another +debunker from Central Florida has recently been exposed and is +now being ignored by serious researchers. + + From Nov. 11 to May 1, 1988 (my last sighting), I have been +stedfast to the truth as the storm of controversy, both positive +and negative, continued to build in the media. The most +troublesome question of the controversy is "Why have I had so +many sightings?" I can not explain the "why" questions, the most +disturbing one being, "Why Me?" + + In an effort to understand, I have undergone a battery of +pshchological profile tests followed by six hours of regressive +hypnosis. The details of the hypnosis indicate previous encounters +as far back as 11 years of age. I was the first to shake my head +in confusion but have come to the adjustment that life goes on-- +even life we may not understand. + + Thanks to all those who have stood up and reported what they +saw. Thank you, Gulf Breeze for being a good neighbor. + +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +GULF BREEZE UFO FROM THE INVESTIGATIVE PERSPECTIVE + + BY DONALD M. WARE + + During the past year, many residents in and around Gulf Breeze, +FL have been part of a unique experience in this country. Over +a hundred people reported objects that we could not identify as +planes, planets, flares, etc.. Some reported seeing alien beings, +and six reported blue beams coming from the UFO. One respected +Gulf Breeze family had 22 encounters with UFOs, including 18 +separate photographic sessions. These sessions produced 41 +photographs of at least five different types of flying objects. Five +different cameras were used providing sufficient data to determine +the size of some objects. For example, one object photographed +on 1 May 1988 was 14.8 (misprint?) feet high and had a light on +the bottom that was 14.8 feet in diameter. I have seen over +60 photos of UFOs from this area. + + Investigations by Newspapers, TV and the Mutual UFO Network +were generally accomplished without ridicule. This encouraged +12 people to tell of their UFO experiences that involved "missing +time" or extremely strange dreams. Some of these people are +having trouble coping with their experiences. MUFON established +a support group including abductees, investigators, and a clinical +psychologist to help reduce fear of the unknown. I think the +support efforts, including time-regression hypnosis, have helped +several who seem to have been inside a UFO understand their +strange experiences. + + I suspect that the increasing national media coverage of the +UFO phenomenon, spurred by the Gulf Breeze photos and sightings +will cause many more abductees to gain the courage to talk about +their experiences. Perhaps some will seek help in understanding +what happened to them. I hope investigators and psychologists +across the country will work together to provide this help. + + Some people have been unable to fully accept the reality of +alien visitors, including some "armchair investigators." Perhaps +the Gulf Breeze photos will help people across the country accept +the reality described in the MJ-12 documents and other government +disclosures. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + +TO CELEBRATE OR NOT TO CELEBRATE + + BY DUANE COOK + + How do you celebrate the anniversary of an event you are +not yet sure was good? + + Well, maybe celebrate is not the appropriate term. + + Perhaps reminisce is a better word to apply to our thoughts +and activities on this 1st anniversary of the now famous UFO +sightings by "Ed" and others in and around Gulf Breeze. + + Initially we had no idea that printing Ed's photos would cause +such a worldwide interest in our fair community. + + First, there were the wire services that broke the news +worldwide with a brief account of the first sightings. + + Then came the National Enquirer with their offer to pay for +the right to print the photos if NASA Scientists found them +genuine. + + MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) got involved in the investigation +early and became the authority to which the explosion of local +sightings were referred. + + Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an optical physicist under contract with +the Navy, did the most extensive research on the Gulf Breeze +sightings and photographs and has pronounced theEd lives here and they (the UFOs) just followed +him here to continue their interaction with him as they have done +at eight year intervals since he was a child? + + And what about the many other sightings we've had? Is it just +coincidence that Charlie and Doris saw the same craft on the same +night that Ed photographed it, thus assuring the Sentinel's +unflinching support while maintaining its unquestioned credibility? + + Then there are the ministers, the teachers, the law enforcement +officers, the district medical examiner and his wife, and even a city +council member. + + Were these people just randomly in the right place at the +right time, or is there an intelligent plan guiding the selection of +who sees it and who doesn't? + + Whether we call it a celebration, a reminiscence, or a review, +we all found it amazing that it's already been a whole year since it +all started. + + And we wanted to share with you our thoughts and reflections +on this most interesting year. + +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +Reports by several others also appeared in this issue of +The Sentinel but are not presented here. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

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 UFO phenomenon is rich in a foundation +of historical documentation. This case has a certain uniqueness with +no precedence in the literature. It has challenged the investigation +team right to the core of their individual areas of expertise. + + Putting the case in perspective, however, has been an even greater +challenge. There probably can be no singly conclusive piece of the +puzzle that would validate the case. Given adequate resources +someone probably could closely duplicate the photographic evidence. +Missing, however, is any evidence that any of the principals in this +case involving six months of active UFO sightings has the technological +background, resources or ability to duplicate the evidence. + + So we must ultimately evaluate the human factors in which we +are on firmer ground. We must ask ourselves can more than 135 +witnesses be lying about what they saw, is it possible that a dozen +well trained investigators and professionals be so naive and +incompetent as to allow even a sophisticated hoax to go undetected +under their very eyes for half a year. Are at least nine victims of +missing time collectively hallucinating, and how can we deny the +concerns of a mother whose three year old daughter has since last +summer reported ghosts in her room, ghosts with big black eyes, +who take her away and bring her back. And upon seeing photos of +the UFOs the child told her mother that she'd seen that and had +been in it! + + The evaluatable evidence in this case is abundant and available +for close scrutiny. It is imperative to note that no specialist to date +has been capable of duplicating even one single piece of the evidence, +and I've personally witnessed a number of such attempts. One day +someone will inevitably duplicate some of the evidence as will we +one day be capable of duplicating the technology many have +witnessed this year. But for now we must consider, has an alien +culture from the stars initiated a long awaited Glasnost Policy of their +own. If indeed that is the case, what will it mean to our society and +the rest of the peoples of the Planet Earth in the years to come! + + +Broadcast Reporter + +Bob Oechsler +Investigator/Researcher +Annapolis, Maryland + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +INVESTIGATIVE ANALYSIS + + + The photographic and video taped evidence in the Gulf Breeze +case was brought to my attention approximately two months after +the first reported sightings of UFO activity on November 11th of +1987. An exhaustive series of polygraph tests were conducted on +the primary photographer in the case, one of five known to the +investigative staff. It seemed pertinent under the circumstances +that additional methods be employed to verify the veracity of the +witnesses. Following a background check of the primary +photographer with his verbal permission, various investigation +interviews were subjected to Voice Stress Analysis using state of +the art Psychological Stress Evaluator equipment operated by one +of the nation's top expert analysts. There were no reactions in the +analysis that would indicate that any of the three witnesses +interviewed were telling anything short of the truth about what +they observed. + + Meteorologic and Site Survey analyses were performed as a +check against the details reported for the first photographic sighting. +The conclusion verified that the photographs were likely to have +been taken on the day and time period reported as no other similar +conditions existed over a two week period prior to publication +of the photographs. + + An investigation into the photographic equipment used was +conducted through field tests and close consultation with Polaroid +Corporation engineers. It was determined that the camera used +through February 7th could perform double exposure techniques +with the 108 type film. Investigators provided the witness with a +35mm Nimslo stereo camera and employed controls that were not +subsequently breached as determined following inspection of the +camera and film after a photographic sighting. A more sophisticated +Polaroid Sun 600 camera was purchased on March 7th. The following +day the camera was first used during a photographic sighting +opportunity. It was determined by the Polaroid engineers that a +double exposure was possible but extremely difficult to effect. On +March 17th a second Polaroid Sun 600 camera was combined with +the first in a stereo array to create a parallax for measuring the +distance and size of objects by comparing two photographs taken +simultaneously. The degree of difficulty in a double exposure had +now increased beyond reasonable proportions. The final piece of +equipment used was a Sony 8mm home video camera with sound +and without zoom capability. A one minute and thirty eight second +two part video tape was shot on December 28th. + + An extensive analysis of the two part video tape was started in +March and continues today. Various enhancement techniques were +performed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Among those tests +a variable speed element was employed to make tapes for viewing +the entire tape at one tenth speed. A Sony Video Editor model +BVU820 was used with a digital time base corrector to supply a direct +signal to a Video Hard Copy Unit made by Tektronix, model 4632. +The thermal printer generated photo images of both phases of each +frame. A ten second portion of the video tape requires 600 single +copy prints. Each print is measured to define altitude, flight path, +rotation characteristics, frequency of beacon lights, ring aberrations, +attitude in flight, air speed/velocity, acceleration/deceleration +and an analysis of direction reversals. A preliminary analysis of the +audio track indicated that no sound could be identified with the +object. More sophisticated equipment is being sought. A preliminary +analysis concludes that the object observed in the video tape closely +resembles objects photographed with the Polaroid cameras. The +object has a clockwise or left to right rotation. The dome or beacon +light blinks on and off at no consistent rate or pattern and displays a +variable luminosity with each cycle. The object loses altitude moving +to the left of the camera just prior to blinking out. A ghost image +appears in the first phase of the next frame approximately two object +widths to the right that may be related but is apparently not visible +through the transmission medium. There are certain restrictions in +the evaluation of the video tape. Due to the horizontal resolution +lines, we are viewing the object through what is analogous to jail bars +turned sideways. Nonetheless it appears conclusive that the +bottom or power source light has a variable luminosity characteristic +which is not synchronic with the beacon light on top of the object. + + As an experienced robotics technician I've built many remote +controlled devices in the past ten years. As a prototype designer +I am well versed in exotic techniques used to operate various +sizes of apparatus from very small to very large using sometimes +inexpensive semi-automated frequency controlled equipment. +The specifications detailed in this case, most notably the absence of +audible sound from the UFO craft in the 8mm home video and the +rotational characteristic, create enormous difficulty when an attempt +is made to re-create what is observed by constructing a model to +examine the technology. + + Further research is continuing in many areas relating to this +photographic sightings case. It is quite clear to this investigator that +we are examining a truly anomalous technology. + + On May 9th, 1988, I initiated an official appeal for assistance +through the Office of the President of the United States and various +members of the Sanate and House of Representatives. Government +or at least military interest in the events that were occurring in +Gulf Breeze, Florida was quite apparent in light of newspaper +reports bearing photographs of vessels with elaborate radar gear, +military vehicles with telescoping radar gear (all deployed in the +vicinity of the sightings) and a reported visit to the primary +photographer's residence by purported officials requesting original +photographic materials. Responses received from the Office of the +Secretary of the Navy revealed concern over evidence of federal +airspace rules violations, responses from congressional representation +revealed concern over human rights violations. The Office of the +Chief of Naval Operations (Air Warfare) ultimately declined to +investigate citing scarce Navy financial and personnel resources. +It might be interesting to note that in a civilian capacity, Navy +physicist, Dr. Bruce S. Maccabee conducted an extensive photo +analysis of the evidence and found no evidence contrary to the +existence of anomalous objects in the photographs. + + +Bob Oechsler +UFO Investigator, Researcher, Broadcast Reporter +Annapolis, Maryland + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The vast majority of these sightings could well be of such things +as meteors, planets, stars, weather balloons, swamp gas, and atmospheric +disturbances. There remains however, a significant body of experiences that +are truly inexplicable. + +There is no doubt that disk shaped objects have been seen by a great many +honest, sober, and mystified men and women.

The army + of the Pharaoh looked on with him in their midst. It was after supper. + Thereupon, these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the + south... The Pharaoh caused incense to be brought to make peace on the + hearth... and what happened was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in + the annals of the House of life... so that it be remembered for ever." + [Brinsley Le Poer Trench, "The Flying Saucer Story", pp. 81-82.] + +The prophet Ezekiel's "vision", recorded in the bible, is thought by some to +be a UFO sighting. His description is of a strange "vehicle" coming from the +sky and landing near the Chebar River (or canal) in Chaldea (now Iraq) in the +fifth year of the Judean captivity (592 B.C.) under Nebuchadnezzar II of +Babylon: + + "What kind of 'machine' was this?" Ezekiel continues: + And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. + And from this was their appearance: they had the form of men, but each + had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were + straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's + foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. Under their wings on + their four sides they had human hands... each had the face of a man in + front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side... the face of + an ox on the left side, and... the face of an eagle at the back... and + their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of + which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. And + each [creature] went straight forward... without turning as they + went... And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of + lightning." + +Who were these humanoid "occupants"? Space-helmeted, space-suited astronauts +with a strapped-on flying device? Or, perhaps, extraterrestrial flying +robots? The account continues: + + "Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth + beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for + the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance + was like the gleaming of a chrysolite... being as it were a wheel + within a wheel... The four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and + their rims were full of eyes round about. And when the living creatures + went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose + from the earth, the wheels rose." + +Were these humanoids going back and forth into a green-glowing spacecraft +surrounded by a ring of portholes? But there is more: + + "...there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and + seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness as it were of a + human form. And upward from... his loins I saw as it were gleaming + bronze... and there was brightness... like the appearance of the bow + that is in the cloud on the day of the rain, so was the appearance of + the brightness round about... And when I saw it... I heard the voice + of one speaking." + +Ezekiel is told that the Israelites have transgressed and are to be punished +unless they obey the Lord's commandments. Ezekiel is selected as the +messenger to his people and is taken on board ("the spirit lifted me up"). +The spacecraft takes off ("I heard... the sound of the wheels... that +sounded like a great earthquake"), and Ezekiel is carried to Tel-abib where +his fellow exiles are and where he sits "overwhelmed among them seven days," +traumatized by his experience. (Ezekiel 1-3) (As we can see from contemporary +UFO encounters, this could be interpreted as an almost classic report of the +abduction and return of humans.) + +The roman author Julius Obsequens, believed to have lived in the fourth +century A.D., drew on Livy as well as other sources of his time to compile his +book "Prodigorium liber", which describes many peculiar phenomena, some of +which could be interpreted as UFO sightings. here are just a few examples: + + "[216 B.C.] Things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy... At Arpi + (180 Roman miles, east of Rome, in Apulia) a 'round shield' was seen in + the sky... At Capua, the sky was all on fire, and one saw figures like + ships... + [99 B.C.] When C. Murius and L. Valerius were consuls, in Tarquinia, + there fell in different places... a thing like a flaming torch, and it + came suddenly from the sky. Towards sunset, a round object like a + globe, or round or circular shield took its path in the sky, from west + to east. + [90 B.C.] In the territory of Spoletium (65 Roman miles north of Rome, + in Umbria) a globe of fire, of golden colour, fell to the earth, + gyrating. It then seemed to increase in size, rose from the earth, and + ascended into the sky, where it obscured the disc of the sun, with its + brilliance. It revolved towards the eastern quadrant of the sky. + [Harold T. wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack", pp. 164-69] + +A later chronicler of inexplicable phenomena, one Conrad Wolffhart (a +professor of grammer and dielectrics who under the pen name of Lycosthenes +wrote the compendium "Prodigiorium ac Ostentorum Chronicon", published in +1567), mentions the following events: + + "[A.D 393] Strange lights were seen in the sky in the days of the + Emperor Theodosius. On a sudden, a bright globe appeared at midnight. + It shown brilliantly near the day star (planet, Venus), about the circle + of the zodiac. This globe shown little less brilliantly than the + planet, and little by little, a great number of other glowing orbs drew + near the first globe. The spectacle was like a swarm of bees flying + round the bee-keeper, and the light of these orbs was as if they were + dashing violently against each other. Soon, they blended together into + one awful flame, and bodied forth to the eye as a horrible two-edged + sword. The strange globe which was first seen now appeared like the + pommel to a handle, and all the little orbs, fused with the first, shone + as brilliantly as the first globe." [This report is similar to modern + accounts of UFO formations.] [Harold T. Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the + Attack, pp. 174, 177] + +A rare typeset book from 1493, now preserved in a museum at Verdun, France, +contains what may be the earliest pictorial representation of a UFO in Europe. +Hartmann Schedel, author of the book "Liber Chronicarum", describes a strange +fiery sphere --- seen in 1034 ---soaring through the sky in a straight course +from south to east and then veering towards the setting sun. The illustration +accompanying the account shows a cigar-shaped form haloed by flames, sailing +through a blue sky over a green, rolling countryside. (Jacque Vallee, "UFO's +in Space: Anatomy of a Phenomenon", p.9) + +A term equivalent to our "flying saucer" was actually used by the Japanese +approximately 700 years before it came into use in the West. Ancient +documents describe an unusual shining object seen the night of October 27, +1180, as a flying "earthenware vessel." After a while the object, which had +been heading northeast from a mountain in Kii province, changed its direction +and vanished below the horizon, leaving a luminous trail. (Jacques Vallee, +"Passport to Magonia", pp. 4-5) + +Here is a classical description from "William of Newburgh's Chronicle" of a +flying saucer seen in England toward the end of the 12th century: + + "At Byland, or Begeland Abbey (the largest Cistercian abbey in England), + in the North Yorkshire Riding, while the abbot and monks were in the + refectorium, a flat, round, shining, silvery object ["discus" is the + word used in the Latin account] flew over the abbey and caused the + utmost terror." [Harold T. Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack", p. + 185] + +The first official investigation of a UFO sighting occurred in Japan in 1235. +During the night of September 24, while General Yoritsume and his army were +encamped, they observed mysterious lights in the heavens. The lights were +seen in the southwest for many hours, swinging, circling, and moving in loops. +The general ordered a "full-scale scientific investigation" of these strange +events. The report finally submitted to him as the "soothing" ring of many +contemporary explanations offered for UFO phenomena. In essence it read: "The +whole thing is completely natural, General. It is... only the wind making the +stars sway." (Jacques Vallee, "Passport to Magonia", p.5) + +Many unusual celestial events were recorded in Japanese chronicles during the +Middle Ages. As in Western society, such occurrences were usually considered +"portents," often resulting in panics and other social disturbances. Here are +some examples: + + "...on September 12, 1271, the famous priest Nichiren was about to be + beheaded at Tatsunokuchi, Kamakura, when there appeared in the sky an + object like a full moon, shiny and bright. Needless to say, the + officials panicked and the execution was not carried out. + In 1361, a flying object described as being 'shaped like a drum, about + twenty feet in diameter' emerged from the inland sea off Western + Japan... + ...on March 8, 1468, a dark object, which made a 'sound like a wheel,' + flew from Mt. Kasuga toward the west at midnight." [Jacgues Vallee, + "Passport to Magonia", pp. 5-6] + +The Eurpoean recoed of possible UFO sightings continued through the 14th and +15th centuries: + + "[A.D. 1322] In the first hour of the night of Novr. 4... there was + seen in the sky over Uxbridge, Enfland, a pile (pillar) of fire the size + of a small boat, pallid and livid in colour. It rose from the south, + crossed the sky wirh a slow and grave motion and went north. Out of the + front of the pile, a fervent red flame burst forth with great beams of + light. Its speed increased, and it flew thro' the air... + [A.D. 1387] In Novr. and Decr. of this year, a fire in the sky, like a + burning and revolving wheel, or round barrel of flame, emitting fire + from above, and others in the shape of long fiery beam, were seen + through a great deal of the winter, in the county of Leicester, Eng., + and in Northhamptonshire. + [A.D. 1461] On November 1, a fiery thing like an iron rod of good + length and as large as one half of the moon was seen in the sky, over... + Arras, France for less than a quarter of an hour. This object was also + described as being "shaped like a ship, from which fire was seen + flowing." [Jacques Vallee, "UFO's in Space: Anatomy of a Phenomenon", + p. 9; Harold T. Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack", pp. 187, 188] + +From 1773 another classic account of one of those gleaming, silvery bodies +today referred to as flying saucers: + + "Something in the sky which appeared in the north, but vanished from my + sight, as it was intercepted by trees, from my vision. I was standing + in a valley. The weather was warm, the sun shone brightly. On a sudden + it re-appeared, darting in and out of my sight with an amazing + coruscation. The colour of this phenomenon was like burnished, or new + washed silver. It shot with speed like a star falling in the night. + But it has a body much larger and a train longer than any shooting star + I have seen... Next day, Mr. Edgecombe informed me that he and another + gentleman had seen this strange phenomenon at the same time as I had. + It was about 15 miles from where I saw it, and steering a course from E. + to N." + +The witness of this event was a Mr. Cracker of Fleet, a small township in +Dorset, England. Mr. Cracker said that he saw this "flying saucer" in broad +daylight on December 8, 1773. ("Fate", April 1951, p. 24). + +A Fellow of the Royal Society in London was about to cross St. Jame's Park on +his way home from a meeting on December 16, 1742, when he was startled by the +appearance of a remarkable celestial object: + + "...a light arose from behind the trees and houses, to the south and + west, which at first I thought was a rocket, of large size. But when it + rose 20 degrees, it moved parallel to the horizon, and waved like this - + - he draws an undulating line -- and went on in the direction of north + by east. It seemed very near, its motion was very slow. I had it for + about half a mile in view. A light flame was turned backward by the + resistance the air made to it. From, one end, it emitted a bright glare + and fire like that of a burning charcoal. That end was a flame like + bars of iron, and quite opaque to my sight. At one point, on the + longitudinal frame, or cylinder, issued a train in the shape of a tail + of light more bright at one point on the rod or cylinder; so that it was + transparent for more than half of its length. The head of this strange + object seemed about half a degree in diameter, and the tail near three + degrees in length." + +The observer signed himself "C.M.," probably preferring to remain anonymous to +avoid the expected skepticism and scoffing of his fellow members. (Harold T. +Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack," p. 206) + +First UFO photograph and a most unusual sighting was reported by Monsieur de +Rostan, an amateur astronomer and member of the Medicophysical Society of +Basel, Switzerland. On August 9, 1762, at Lausanne, Switzerland, he observed +through a telescope a spindle-shaped object crossing and eclipsing the sun. +Monsieur de Rostan was able to observe this object almost daily for close to +a month. He also managed to trace its outline with a camera obscure and sent +the picture to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris. Unfortunately, his +image -- probably the first one ever obtained of a UFO -- no longer exists. + +A friend of Monsieur de Rostan, living at Sole near Basel, also observed the +spindle-shaped object against the sun, but it seemed to present more of an +edge and was not quite as broad. Oddly enough, the UFO was not visible to a +third astronomer, a Monsieur Messier who studied the sun, during the same +time, from Paris -- an indication that the object was not a sunspot, since it +was visible only from certain angles. (Harold T. Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on +the Attack," pp. 211-212) + +The last year of the 18th century had its share of celestial phenomena. An +issue of "Gentleman's Magazine" contained the following story: + + "On Sept. 19 [1799], all England saw, at 8:30 p.m., a beautiful ball + blazing with white light, and which passed from N.W. to S.E. It moved + rapidly with a gentle tremulous motion, and noiselessly. The light cast + by it was very vivid, and few red sparks detached themselves from it... + On Nov. 12, something like a large red pillar of fire passed north to + south over Hereford, and alarmed people in the Forest of Dean, dome + miles away. Flashes of extremely vivid electrical sort preceded its + appearance, and at intervals of half an hour, several hours before. + This was at 5:45 a.m.... On this night the moon shone with uncommon + vividness, when between 5 and 6 a.m., bright lights in the sky became + stationary. They then burst with not perceptible report, and passed + north leaving behind them beautiful trains of floating fire. Some were + pointed, some radiated. Some sparkled and some had large columns.... + Nov. 19, at 6 a.m., folk of Huncoates, Lincolnshire, were alarmed by + vivid flashes lasting 30 seconds, from a ball of fire passing in the + sky.

FILE: UFO2219 + + + + + By: Philip J.Imbrogno + + Are human beings now in contact with some unkown extraterrestrial +intelligence? UFO investigators from all across the country report that the +number of Contact cases has risen over 200% in the last five years! It is +my feeling that there could be something very concrete to this contact +phenomena and we should all take a much more serious attitude toward it. + + Contact In The Hudson Valley + --------------------------- + + During my research in the Northeast section of the United States, I have +found a good number of people you had an continue to have UFO encounters. +Most of these witnesses started out with and ordinary sighting and now +after many UFO related experiences feel they are in contact with the +intelligence behind the UFOs. + + In the Hudson Valley area alone, there has been more than 7,000 reports +of UFOs over the past seven years. To my surprise many people in the area +felt that they had contact with a non-human intelligence from another +world.At first I found these cases strange and a little disturbing since in +most cases this type of report is picked up by the media who attempt to +discredit it by ridiculing the witness. Needless to say this hurts UFOlogy +in general. During the early part of my investigation into the Hudson +Valley Phenomena, I did my best to keep these cases away from the public +eye. The first call of order was to prove that something strange was in the +sky and that the UFO that thousands of people have been seeing is not +something conventional, like "planes in formation". + + + As time went on the cases of contact in the area began to escalate. I +knew then that some of these cases had to be researched. In response to +this, A UFO conference was organized by Peter Gersten and myself. The +conference took place during september of 1987 and the theme was to explore +the possibility that a non-human intelligence was in contact with people in +the area. + + The speakers were Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins,John Keel, Ellen +Crystall and myself. At the end of tweleve hours about 900 people attended +and over 200 filled out report forms stating that they thought they had +contact with the UFO intelligence. The actual number really surprised me +greatly, and we were only touching the tip of the iceberg. + +Out of the 200 reports a primilary investigation proved that 120 of them +could be unreliable, so only 90 were selected for study. They are listed +below and broken down into to five categories. + +Type Contact Number +----------- ------- + Abductions 19 + + Channeling 10 + + Entity Communication 15 + + Sighting with telepathy 40 + + CE-III cases only 6 + + + I will clarify each of the above categories below: + +Abduction; Those people who claim to have been taken aboard an alien craft +and meeting the intelligence that operates it. + +Channeling: Those people who claim to be in mental contact with a +non-human or super human intelligence. Most communication is done by +automatic writing,verbally or diagrams. + +Entity Communication: Those who have met a human like or non-human like +being and had verbal or mental face to face communication.In most cases the +person is left with some type of information, but in some cases no +information is exchanged during the contact. + +Sighting With telepathy: a sighting of a UFO in which the witnesses feels +some type of communication is taking place between them and the +intelligence in the UFO. As you can see this made up of the bulk of reports +that I investigated. + +CE-III only: Those people who have encountered a strange being, but no +communication was made. Some time the encounter is near a landed +UFO,sometimes there is no UFO in sight. + + I will now present Two cases studies of contact from my research along +with my findings. It must be remembered that the case studies are very long +and complex,so I will only present the core of the data. + Abductions + ----------- + + The abduction phenomena is wide spread across the country. Pioneer +researchers like Budd Hopkins have brought many cases to light. It was no +surprise to me that when the UFO sightings began in the Hudson Valley that +soon abduction cases would follow. One particular case that was brought to +my attention concerned a computer scientist in his early twenties. To +protect the person identity I shall call him "Ray". + + On March 13 1988 at 10:00 P.M "Ray" was driving home on Route 116 in +Croton Falls, New York. The route is a lonely dark road with no lights with +a large reservoir on his left and woods on the right. He was driving home +from a friend's home in the area of Croton Falls to his home in New Castle, +New York. + + "Ray" noticed a number of very bright white lights off to his left just +above the reservoir. the lights seemed too low to be a plane and looked +like they were several hundred yards away. The pine trees along the side of +the road partially obstructed his view, so he continued to drive, but +slowly until he came to a clearing. + + He then stopped his car rolled down his window and watched the lights as +they continued to approach. He then pulled himself half way out of the car +through the window and sat on the car door. As he watched the lights, he +noticed that they were connected to some type of very dark structure. There +was no sound from the object and it was about 20 feet above the tree line. +As the UFO passed over his car, he looked up to see this large triangular +object which was about 100 feet from end to end slowly pass over his car. + + He looked up and noticed that the object only had lights in the front and +the underside was in sections and had depth, and receded inward. Inside the +receded area he saw white flashes of light. He compared these flashes with +that of a strobe light. Then something strange took place. The next thing +he knew, he was back in the car and driving down the road and the object +was gone. + + When he got home he found it very hard to sleep. For the next several +days "Ray" would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with +his heart pounding feel very confused. He knew somehow that these sudden +episodes of night terror had to do something with the UFO sighting. + + I arranged to have "Ray" hypnotized by Dr. Jean Mundy, a certified +Psychologist who practices in New York City and a well known UFO +researcher. The result of the hypnotic session indicated that "Ray" +experienced an abduction on Route 116 during his sighting.The case is very +long and involved. I will only give a synopsis of the information that was +brought out during that session. + + "Ray's" Abduction + ----------------- + While the object was passing over his car, "Ray" somehow was drawn out of +the car window and into the UFO. He found himself lying on a table in a +dark room. There were several beings standing on each side of him, and the +being next to his left side was moving some type of instrument around his +head. He tried to move but his legs felt paralyzed. Ray described the +beings as typical "greys", that are often described in UFO literature. He +noticed their eyes were round, and not slanted, as often reported. + + One of the beings then inserted something up his nose which caused "Ray" +extreme pain. The feeling he had was as if cotton was being shoved up his +nostril. While remembering this part of the hypnosis "Ray" began to cry out +in pain and his nose began to get red and swell. + + After the insert procedure, "Ray" was allowed to get up. He was escorted +by one of the beings to a control pannel. The being was short and was only +as high as "Ray"'s chest( "Ray" is about five foot 9). At no time was there +any verbal communication, but "Ray" knew where they wanted him to go and +what they wanted him to do. He saw this control pannel which was like a +greyish material with many projections and knobs. He thought that these +might be some type of controls. + + "Ray" then found himself back in his car driving down the road. "Ray" +feels that the beings will someday come back for him and this time he will +not be returned for him. His entire life has changed since the incident. He +feels as if he is in some form of mental contact with the beings that he +met. He feels as if he is gathering information for them. For example "Ray" +may be listening to music, and a voice inside his head will say "Tell us +about this music, how does it make you feel". "Ray" is not able to control +these requests,they can come at any time while he is experiencing something +in his every day life. + + "Ray"'s case is unusual, but not unique when compared to the many cases +that I have investigated in the Hudson Valley. + + Channeling + ----------- + + The channeling phenomenon seems to be a new craze across the country. +When I was approached by individuals who claimed to be in contact with a +super human intelligence, my first response was a negative one. Since 1986 +I have invesigated the claims of at least 40 people who say they are +channeling a higher intelligence that is extraterrestrial in nature.My +research proved to my satisfaction that 90% of these people proved to be in +contact with nothing more than their own imagination.The other 10% are +interesting,but require additional research.From the ten cases, selected +from the conference data, only one stands out. This person is the only one +that really made me consider that he may be in contact with an intelligence +that is not of this Earth. + + Dean Fagerstrom is a 57 year old resident of Putnam Lake New York. When I +first met Dean in 1982 he was Working as a night watchman. I found Dean +intelligent, articulate and to say the least fascinating. + + As an adult Dean's experiences began in November of 1966 while in the army +stationed in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. He lived down town, about a mile from +the base.One night at two o'clock in the morning while sitting in his +apartment while working on a number sequence for the lottery, he had the +feeling he was not alone. He id not feel alarmed by the awareness, but +curious. Finally he got up and walked around the living room and when he +found no one he returned to his seat where he was working with the numbers +on a white board. As he looked at the white board a human like face began +to appear before his eyes. The face filled up just about all of the two by +three board. As the image got clearer, he saw that it was not one face, but +two. There was a bluish shimmer around the edges of this image,one image +was that of a man wuth tawny hair, not quite shoulder length, and a woman +with slightly darker hair, a little shorter Then he heard a voice close to +his ear identify the names of the beings that he saw. The male gave his +name as" Donestra" and his wife's name as" Kilestra", although he did not +say "wife", but rather "mate". + + This Donestra then told Dean, that Dean has studied many things and they +have been receiving his thought projections because the mind is a powerful +transmitter. Donestra also told Dean that the images he is now seeing are +not real, but holographic projections. Dean was then told that this being +and his mate were amoung thousands of other individuals from various +planets throughout the near regions of our solar system and beyond.Donestra +told Dean that they have been studying the Earth for many years and that +our planetary and human condition interested them greatly. + + After several minutes of conversation the communication came to a close +and Dean was asked not to mention to any one for a while what he had seen +and heard. Dean was told to watch the skies in the next few days, he did +and claims he saw a craft of" amazing design and aerial ability". This was +to prove to Dean that the contact he had was real and not an hallucination. +Between 1966 and 1967 Dean was to continue to have contact with Donestra. + + In 1967 Dean was discharged from the service and he moved to Brewster, +New York. Things were quiet, and the year went by uneventful. But on +January 19th 1968 at 4:30 in the morning Dean had another extraterrestrial +contact, this time it would change the rest of his life. + + Dean woke up at that hour and saw a bluish shimmer in the upper corner of +the room.He also heard an incredible high frequency buzzing sound. +Gradually, an object materialized about three inches in diameter, round, +resembling an old fashion microphone. + + This object came nearer and nearer until it halted before Dean's face at +a distance of no more than a foot. This object stood their,suspended in mid +air and continued to oscillate. As Dean watched, something projected itself +from the center of the disk and extended out four or five inches, it +resembled an "ice pick". It seemed to Dean that it was some type of probe +and came to within three inches of his forehead. The probe then emitted a +very intense vibration that shook his head and neck. Dean lay in bed +helpless, but not paralyzed. The object then became quiet, then it +disappeared. + + The next day, Friday morning, Dean got into his car went to a store and +began buying graph paper, triangles, compasses and various drafting +instruments. The buying spree did not seem to be under his control, nor did +he understand why he was buying these things. + + Dean collected his purchases and went home and for the next three weeks +began making drawings of various types of alien machinery. Dean did not +know why he was doing this, but thought this Donestra person might have +something to do with it. Dean had no idea of what the devices were that he +was drawing. + + The drawings were done in an unusual manner; Dean had no notion of what +he was doing,but felt strongly motivated to complete the drawings. He would +place a piece of graph paper in front of him and s bluish dots would +appear. The dots instructed him where to draw the lines. Also he seemed to +have a pre-knowledge of what color or shade to place in a particular part +of the diagrams. After three weeks and many hours behind closed doors Dean +Completed 32 diagrams and several pages of some unkown symbols.(Two of +these diagrams appear in this issue, as well as one page of the symbols. + + Dean held on to these diagrams since 1968,then turned them over to me in +1982. He said that he was instructed to do so by Donestra and that I would +know what to do with them when the time comes. + + +The diagrams have been looked at by many professional people,a physicist, +an electrical enginner, a professional artist, a master draftsman and even +Dr. Hynek looked at them. Everyone was very impressed with them, and the +draftsman stated that it would take someone with at least twenty years +experience to produce something of that quality. + +Dean Fagerstrom continues his contacts till this day. It would take an +entire book to explore some of the material he has produced, and a lifetime +to research it. You may write to Dean Fagerstrom at One Allen Road, Putnam +Lake New York. + + Entity Communication + ---------------------- + + + This type of case invloves beings materializing to a witnesses out of +thin air. Since 1986, 10 cases of this type have been brought to my +attention in the Hudson Valley. Since the publication of my book Night +Siege, The Hudson Valley UFO siightings in 1987 and my previous articles in +UFO UNIVERSE, I have received well over 50 letters from all over the +country from people who experienced this type of contact. + + In over 80% of the cases the time of the contact seems to be from 2-4 A.M +and the place , the witnesses bedroom. The stories are very similar and +they tell of the witnesses being woke up by the being,not physically but by +a strong mental impression. The beings are usually described the same, tall +slim, with long hair(Mostly blonde but, in some rare cases black).The +majority of the beings reported are male, with very few females reported. +It is interesting to note that the tall blonde beings seems to be taking +part in this type of contact, while the little Greys are responsible for +the abductions. In this type of contact 92% of the contactees were women. + + Many times some type of information is given to the witnesses.The +information is usually to predict major natural catastrophies and future +UFO sightings. In all the cases explored none of the information that is +given to the person contacted checks out. In most cases the person is +paralyzed while the enitity proceeds with the communication. In all the +cases explored the witnesses is never allowed to speak. + + Sighting with Telepathy + ----------------------- + + + Some people who spotted the Hudson Valley UFO felt a strong connection +with the UFO and themselves.

Hyzer to undertake a photo analysis of the Walters photos. +Mr Andrus made the request at the suggestion of Mr. Jerry Black, who had +made the initial contact with Mr. Hyzer. + + Mr. Hyzer is a nationally-recognized photogrammetrist, who was honored by +an award from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences at their annual +meeting in February 1992. Mr. Hyzer was assisted in his analysis of the +Walters photos by his son, Dr. James B. Hyzer. Mr. Andrus provided copies +of photos 1,2,5,9,13,14,16,17,18,19,21,22,36L&R,37L&R and 38L&R for their +work. It is unfortunate that Mr. Andrus could not provide Walters' original +photos or at least first-generation copies to Mr. Hyzer for his analysis. + + Mr. Hyzer has now completed his work and a copy of his final report, _The +Gulf Breeze Photographs: Bona Fide or Bogus?_ (second editon, March 15, +1992) was sent to Mr. Andrus on April 1, 1992. We have been priviledged to +read the report and we find it most definitive. + + Mr. Hyzer's report indicated that the dark rectangular areas (portholes) +in all of the photos analyzed are either slightly lighter or no darker than +the scenic backgrounds. This would indicate that the objects are either +self-luminous, internally-illuminated, externally-illuminated from the +general direction of the camera, or the result of photographic fakery. + + The report also indicated that the UFOs possessed chameleon-like +characteristics. The images of the UFOs are of the same colorations as +their scenic backgrounds. This would indicate that the objects are either +semi-transparent, color-variable, or the result of photographic fakery. + + Late in 1991, Mr. Ray Stanford noted that the reflection of the tree line +in photo 19 is visible on the hood of Walters' truck (see photo section +preceding page 129 in Walters' book). Mr. Stanford requested that Mr. Hyzer +analyze this aspect of photo 19. Mr. Stanford had mentioned the lack of +reflection from the UFO to Dr. Bruce Maccabee back in 1988. Dr. Maccabee +claims to have conducted tests using a flashlight and Walters' truck to +determine why there were no reflections from the UFO as expected (see +MUFON Journal, #252, April 1989). Dr. Maccabee found that because the hood +of Walters' truck was supposedly bent, illuminations below seven feet above +the ground at 200 feet away would not cause reflections. He later changed +the seven feet to six feet. + + A series of experiments was performed, in which we assisted Mr. Hyzer, to +establish the envelope within which light sources would reflect from the +hood of a Ford 150 XLT truck. The light sources were moved laterally from +30 feet left and right of the centerline of the road and vertically from +ground level up to 10 feet above the surface. Distances varied from 500 +feet to 20 feet from the camera. The light-source reflections within the +described envelope were visible and photographed on the hood of the truck. +All of the data, which we helped to collect, was provided to Mr. Hyzer in +raw form (including negatives). This was necessary so as to preclude any +possibility of biasing the information. + + Since Dr. Maccabee has now moved the UFO to a position 370 feet from the +camera and two feet above the ground, about 13 feet of the top part of the +UFO would have been above the six-foot restriction claimed by Dr. Maccabee +above. Therefore, the crescent-shaped illuminated dome and the dome light +should have made a visible reflection on the hood of the truck since both +were as bright or brighter than the background sky, though they do not +reflect. + + Mr. Hyzer also notes that since the UFO is now supposedly 370 feet from +the camera and two feet above the surface, there should be a pattern of +increased luminance directly beneath the power ring. His photometric +analysis did not reveal the increase in luminance as expected. Mr. Hyzer's +results therefore indicate that there was no UFO present and that the photo +is the product of multiple-exposure camera techniques. These results of +Mr. Hyzer's analysis lead him to conclude the in his professional opinion, +photograph 19 is a fake produced by multiple-exposure photography. + + Since photo 14 is very similar to photo 19, it also is probably a fake. +The other of Walters' photos depicting the same objects as photos 14 ad 19 +then become highly suspect. Couple this with the brightness and +chameleon-like factors reported by Mr. Hyzer and there appears to be a high +probablility that all of Walters' photos are fakes. + + We hope that Mr. Hyzer will publish his report in the near future. + + + Rex and Carol Salisberry + +ed note: William Hyzer has no particular interest in ufology and should + be considered an impartial analyst. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The incident +occured on the Dune Area of Smith's Point Beach near entrance to the +Moriches Bay. Military and Suffolk County Police Helicopters were involved +in +an apparent attempt to monitor the craft on the Beach. A second object +estimated to be 574 feet to a thousand feet long was observed hovering over +the Bay. It was composed of six tremendously large lights. + The helicopters (six involved) were composed of four military +helicopters +and two Suffolk County Police Helicopters. These helicopters surrounded the +large object (commonly referred to as a mother ship) in a circular rotation +passing around this object in a counter clockwise flight, the helicopters +would then fly over the second downed object in the dunes. As this manuever +was completed, the area would be illuminated by the helicopters searchlights +in +an attempt to illuminate what was on the ground. + Long Island UFO Network, Inc. has interviewed the eyewitnesses to this +event.

And the way this 64-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner is going about +it is truly unprecedented: He has become a kind of paterfamilias and healer to +a whole underground of Americans who claim they have been abducted by aliens in +UFOs. + +They flock to him from around the country, these abductees, then lie down on +his office couch and are coaxed into a hypnotic trance. Under hypnosis, +sometimes weeping and shouting with agony and terror, they recover buried +memories of alien encounters. Many of them come to believe that they have been +kidnapped by extraterrestrials regularly since they were children, that they +are guinea pigs in an intergalactic hybrid-breeding program, and that, in a +close encounter of a truly original kind, they have had sperm and egg samples +taken, alien fetuses implanted and removed, and probes inserted in their +vaginas, anuses, and up their noses. + +And here's the clincher: Most of them recall that after suffering the +indignities of lab animals in outer space, they are given a picture show that +aliens project onto the walls of their spacecraft - or directly into their +brains - images and movies of ecological disaster that terrify and ultimately +transform them into spiritual seekers hoping to save the polluted Earth. + +"Some other intelligence is reaching out to us. It's the most exciting work +I've ever done," claims Mack. A few minutes later he admits, "I'm shocked in a +way to hear myself saying such things. But I've been as careful as possible to +exhaust conventional explanations. None of them begins to explain this +phenomenon." + +This alien invasion - subtle, shattering, mysterious - is really a form of +cosmic correction by beings more advanced than we, believes Mack, whose about- +to-be-published book, "ABDUCTION" (Scribners), details the kidnappings of 13 +individuals by aliens and fits them into a new cosmology. It's a view of the +universe that's both high-tech and ancient, one that assumes intelligence can +take many forms and melds Eastern spirituality and Western science. Above all, +it's a cosmology eerily well adapted to our country's obsession with abuse, +confession, and transcendence. + +Mack has long been one of the brightest minds at Harvard, a man whose prize- +winning "A Prince of Our Disorder" (1977) - a psychological study of T.E. +Lawrence - was hailed as one of the most remarkable biographies of its time. +Mack was one of the men who forged Harvard's Cambridge Hospital Department of +Psychiatry into a premier teaching hospital, a place where psychiatrists and +residents now vie for positions, and for four years he was its head. He's been +a member of the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, certified as a child +psychoanalyst, and chairman of the Executive Committee for all five hospital- +based departments of psychiatry that make up the huge Department of Psychiatry +at Harvard Medical School. + +He's also a high-profile idealist who has been at the forefront of efforts by +his peers for global peace and conservation. He is founding director of the +Center for Psychological Studies in the Nuclear Age and a member of Physicians +for Social Responsibility and International Physicians for the Prevention of +Nuclear War. He is an outspoken advocate of corporate and industrial policies +that sustain the environment. The list of accomplishments doesn't stop there; +Mack has published over 150 articles and books on subjects ranging from +nightmares to teenagers who kill their mothers to Russian children's feelings +about nuclear weapons. And so his excursion into the realm of ETs has elicited +an outcry of contempt, sorrow, bewilderment, anxiety, confusion, interest, and +even admiration from his fellow colleagues. + +Is Mack legitimizing ufology, a pursuit that has until now found its warmest +reception on the pages of supermarket tabloids? Or has he, as one longtime +colleague laments, ruined his career? + +More than the legitimacy of UFOs is at stake. The fact is that Mack - at least +to those who view him from the outside - is actually in the white hot center of +a controversy that has been raging around the country. It's a battle about the +essential nature of the human mind, really; a war over the nature of memory, +and access routes to it, particularly hypnosis. Can hypnosis recover repressed +memories of sexual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, past life abuse, and abuse at +the hands of aliens? In a tabloid culture, recovered memories have led to +accusations and court cases so damaging and sordid they've been compared to the +witch-hunts of another age. + +John Mack's UFO work rests in great part on the validity of hypnosis as a tool +to recover memory. The cultural uproar over this modus operandi may not resolve +itself for years to come. + +Strangely enough, he shrugs off the controversy. "I have such long +relationships here at Harvard, they just tolerate me. Of course, I don't know +what they say behind my back. But the abduction phenomenon, " insists Mack, +"gets at the core of who we are. It's traumatic for me as well as others, but +it expands us into a different universe." + +I'd been chasing John Mack for months before he agreed to an interview. One of +his assistants, Karen Wesolowski, at a branch of The Center for Psychology and +Social Change, his own private umbrella organization for UFO research, had been +stonewalling me, supposedly because he was under crushing pressure to finish +his book, for which Scribners had reportedly paid him a handsome $200,000. But +it was easy to detect another reason: fear of a hatchet job in the press. Mack +himself has confessed, "The experience of taking on a subject which has been +fare for the tabloids and the seamier side of the mass media has been a story +in itself." + +The first time I spoke with Karen on the phone, I heard the clacking of +computer keys: she was taking down every word I said. She asked more +preliminary "who are you and what do you want" questions than I'd encountered +in a decade of reporting. She called PSYCHOLOGY TODAY and asked to see samples +of my work. She instructed me not to speak to Dr. Mack's department head, Malka +Notman, M.D., until he had had a meeting with her first. She told me that in +part she and Dr. Mack were simply protecting the abductees. Karen likened +individuals who did not believe these victims' stories to people who tell +holocaust survivors that Nazi atrocities never happened. + +When I finally faced Mack A DEUX, I found a tall, lank man with eyes like +cobalt glass. He was wearing a slightly wrinkled button-down shirt of the same +startling blue, khaki pants, and loafers. He had a boyish, baffled sincerity +about him, an almost bedazzled helplessness that would both endear him to me +and irritate me throughout the interview. + +It was lunchtime and we shared Mack's typical fare: peanut butter from a +gallon-size plastic container stored in his secretary's adjacent office, +bagels, and Mars bars. As we ate, he told me how he'd arranged at his fixation +on UFOs as agents of cosmic correction of our Earth-destroying ways. Although +the press, when credulous, recounts his story as if he simply woke up one day +and was confronted with irrefutable evidence that aliens are kidnapping and +experimenting on humans, the truth is far more complex and intriguing. + +First, Mack has never been your garden-variety shrink. He openly admits that he +has always felt a bit like Georg Simmel's "The Stranger," the marginal man who +participates in the culture but is not part of it. He was raised in a +rationalist, German-Jewish, New York household, where his father read him the +Bible not because he believed in God but because the stories were fascinating. + +From Oberlin he went to Harvard Medical School and set out to become a +psychoanalyst. He continued his internship and residency training at Harvard +institutions, and was accepted at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, then at +the pinnacle of its reputation, where he underwent both personal and and a +training psychoanalysis. He went on to specialize in child psychoanalysis. He +also trained at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Mental Health Center when +it was leading psychiatry to alternatives to institutionalization for the +mentally ill, and was chief resident there. Mack was on brilliant trajectory +in Harvard's prestigious embrace. + +Coming to Cambridge Hospital was his first major departure from the beaten +track: At the time "it was a derelict community hospital. It was not the place +to fast-track." He was its head of psychiatry until 1977 and was instrumental +in crafting a community mental health program that today is the centerpiece of +a citywide network of clinics and hospitals. + +His biography of T.E. Lawrence was another departure: though psychobiography is +an honored tradition among analysts, Lawrence was an unusual choice. Mack was +fascinated by this man who himself was a stranger, a troubled hero caught in +the fate of a culture not his own. + +Later he began to work on issues of nuclear disarmament, global peace, and +conservation. He has traveled the world attending conferences on ecology and +the Earth, mingling with everyone from scientists to philosophers, +philanthropists, and economists. + +He also began to explore alternative approaches to consciousness. In the 1970s, +Mack was taken with Werner Erhard's EST and assorted mind-altering techniques. +The final break with tradition came when Mack met Stanislav Grof, a Russian who +had developed "holotropic breathwork," a technique of rapid breathing that +allegedly accesses nonordinary states of consciousness. The first time he tried +it, Mack not only "reexperienced" his mother's death when he was eight months +old, he also felt "my father's grief at the time. There was also a businessman +in the room screaming his head off because he was reliving the time when HIS +mother tried to choke him as an infant. I got more out of one session than I +had in all my years of analysis." Later in the session, "I became a Russian +father in the 16th century, a man whose four-year-old son was decapitated by +Mongol hordes." + + Mack In Time +Mack begs the question of past lives here. He says that at the time he was in +Russia as part of an exchange program, sponsored by Easalen, to talk about the +impact of the nuclear arms race on children. His consciousness, he told me, +"traveled in time to identify this Russian man. After that experience I felt +great empathy for the Russians I was working with. " + +He took a three-tear training program in Grof's breathing technique, which +concluded in 1988. A year later, a psychologist who also practiced the +technique urged him to meet Budd Hopkins, a New York artist who had published a +best-selling book, INTRUDERS, about UFO abductees. + +Mack claims that "nothing on my 40 years as a psychiatrist prepared me for what +he had to say. I was impressed with his sincerity, depth of knowledge, and deep +concern for the abductees. But what affected me even more was the internal +consistency of the highly detailed accounts [of abduction] by different +individuals who would have had no other way to communicate with one another." + +He cites the specific, consistent information abductees give about the inside +of spaceships, procedures, medical instruments, and more, as absolute evidence +of the veracity of their reports. He notes the interesting but inconclusive +physical "evidence" of abductions - strange "scoop" marks, nodules, and cuts +(in one case, on a quadriplegic man who would have been unable to self-inflict +them); and the fairly common experience of waking upside down in the bed or +sometimes outside the house, with clothes removed or lost. + +Today he calls himself "co-investigator and co-creator" in the abduction +phenomenon. Mack has scaled down his private psychiatric practice and his +teachings to focus on exploring this field. He has now hypnotized and +"regressed" nearly 80 abductees and, in his home, where he encourages them to +talk about their experience, holds monthly support group meetings. Mack's +abductees undergo a remarkably uniform transformative shift in consciousness +and become committed to preserving the Earth; they report dreams of floods and +other destruction that will otherwise occur. "I have no way to explain this +except as some sort of robust emergence of an intelligence reaching out to us +in some way. The hybrid[-breeding] program may have something to do with the +state of the Earth at this time. + +Mack's history, he admits, has prepared him exactly for this work. One almost +wonders if he could have ever resisted it, for it so perfectly occupies his +clinical, mystical mind. Abductions allow him to be far more than a +psychiatrist. He is now an explorer of consciousness, at play in the fields of +the universe itself, a participant in an ecological and global transformation +that he sees as part of a cosmic plan. + +But what's really going on? I decided to retrace Mack's steps. + +Take a visit with me to the New York City home of Budd Hopkins, the man John +Mack dedicates his book to, the one who "led the way." Hopkins is an abstract +expressionist who has brushed elbows with many of the great painters of our +day, and has the look of a slightly disheveled but friendly Phil Donahue. He's +an ingenuous guy, happily showing off his studio and his upstairs home, where +original art by Degas, Franz Kline, and Frank Stella grace the walls. Hopkins' +free time these days is spent conducting free hypnotic regressions and support +groups for abductees, traveling constantly to lecture on the subject, and +preparing a third book for publication. + +Hopkins sat with me in his studio, which was filled with a series of brightly +painted, wooden wall hangings he calls "the guardians," and rattled on +enthusiastically about UFOs. He brought out a notebook of pictures of people +with indeterminate "marks" from space-alien probings, which seemed unremarkable +to me, garden-variety abrasions and minor bruises. He then showed me drawings, +made by victims, of what they had seen on the inner walls of spaceships. He +requested that I not describe them in print; yet they are generic and primitive +enough to also seem unremarkable. + + Lavender Underwear +It was when he began to talk about other "proofs" that he began to lose me - +and I wondered how he had been able to retain Mack's interest. For example, the +problem with clothes. Hopkins mentioned one abductee who woke up wearing +lavender underwear, and she OWNS no lavender underwear because she hates the +color. Others wake up with pajama bottoms several sizes too small - clearly not +their own; or with bottoms and tops reversed. + +Picture this: We've got aliens who are smart enough to travel light-years +across the universe, whisk us up into spaceships that move at unthinkable +speeds, communicate telepathically and transform our consciousness, and yet +they're so disorganized that when they're ready to drop us down again they +dress us in the wrong clothes. (Mack has made equally amazing statements; he +told me, "They can't do anything they want. Apparently they can take you +through a window or a door but not walls of a certain thickness. But I'm not +one to talk about that kind of TECHNICAL stuff.") + +Hopkins' reliability began to crumble like an old cake when he told me about +the case of the decade, if not the century, which is the subject of his next +book. A woman, Linda N., was abducted from her high rise in November of 1989 in +lower Manhattan; Hopkins claims the abduction was witnessed by a woman driving +over the Brooklyn Bridge a quarter of a mile away, and by two security officers +driving former U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar (who refuses to +admit this; nor are there records of his car stalling that night, as Hopkins +claims). + +Hopkins told me about this case at length. However he managed to leave out a +remarkable series of details, all of which are revealed in a 25-page study of +the "incident" published by three independent UFO researchers, including a +former special agent for the U.S. Army and a former security police specialist +for the U.S. Air Force. According to the information they gathered from papers +Hopkins wrote and talks with him personally, Linda said that the two security +officers who supposedly witnessed her abduction later kidnapped her, asked her +to remove her shoes to find out if she was an alien (they claimed aliens lacked +toes); and that one of the officers drove her to a beach house, asked her to +put on a nightgown, and requested she have sex with him. She says he also tried +to drown her and that at one point he wrote her saying he was in a mental +hospital. Yet Linda never made an official complaint or contacted the police. +The investigators note that these bizarre details of Linda's story - none of +which Hopkins told me - turn out to be uncannily similar to a science fiction +novel, NIGHTEYES, published a few months before Linda claimed to be abducted. + +If Mack accepts Hopkins wholeheartedly as the pioneer in whose path he has +followed, what are we to conclude? This question haunted me simply because the +distinction between Mack and Hopkins is enormous. Hopkins is an artist, but +Mack is a high priest at a most sanctified temple of science: Harvard Medical +School. He also happens to be a man with a halo of perfection about him, an +honorable man given to just causes, a man with a reputation for kindness. Mack +more than anybody needs to be rigorous in his research. Otherwise he may become +a kind of Pied Piper, seducing and perhaps terrifying us with visions of a +world that may not exist. Can Mack corroborate his own findings? + +I asked him about the physical evidence: "Why aren't the ETs showing up on the +White House lawn?" + +His answer sounded like better sleight of hand than Freud himself, who invented +the term "resistance" to fend off naysayers. "Is it real? Did it happen? That +looks like an irreducible question. But the answer is, in what reality? Ours, +or another reality? My hunch is that this is some new kind of entity that +exists in a marginal place between the physical and the nonphysical. I would +almost say this phenomenon, by its very nature, is trying to get us off the +pure reliance on physical artifacts. + +I asked him how he responds to the criticism that he is "leading" his clients +to the stories he wants to hear - a criticism not leveled solely at Mack but at +many of those who rely on hypnosis to provide proof of any sort. Mack admits +that not every UFO researcher gets the same powerful information he does about +ecology and Earth changes. In fact, the field is rent by disagreement and +argument about the meaning of UFOs. Early researchers, who were interested in +the flying saucers, have trouble believing there are creatures inside who are +performing experiments on us. Many of those who do believe feel, like Hopkins, +that "the aliens' agenda is not focused on us particularly, we're incidental." +And other researchers find the aliens are more body snatchers than angelic +guides to a purer Earth. + +Nonetheless, Mack insists, "I do not lead people. We look together at a shared +mystery, but they are not alone in the strange, reality-shattering matter here. +" When I asked him what percentage of abductees come up with a new "Earth +consciousness," he said percentages were not valid. "If I said half did, the +other half may still come up with it. We just may not have gotten that far with +them yet." + +I asked about his contention that these people lack pathology. He has given +only four of nearly 80 clients any kind of psychological testing. No +independent clinician has verified his statements of his patients' mental +health. + +However, in a recent study of 49 people reporting encounters with UFOs, four +Canadian psychologists found them free of psychopathology. What did set them +apart from others, the researchers, led by Nicholas P. Spanos, Ph.D., state in +the JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY, was "a belief in UFOs and in the existence +of alien life forms." Most of their experiences took place at night, and the +team attributes them to temporary sleep paralysis, a condition associated with +vivid hallucinations. Under these conditions, believers tend to confuse +"internally produced images and sensations" with external reality. + + Memory In The Musculature +Mack insists that his patients are able to provide detailed accounts of +abduction because of his use of Grof breathwork. "I tell the person about the +breath, that it gives them power and connects them to the life-giving forces of +the cosmos." He believes that traumatic experiences are held in the body's +tissues and that, using the Grof method, pressure in the "blocked area of the +musculature will bring the stored emotions forth and discharge the tensions +that have been out of reach until this time, stuck in the body. As strong +emotions are coming to the surface, I can feel, for example in the client's +neck or back, in a place where he feels the alien instrumentation once +occurred, a powerful tightness or spasm in the muscle." + +The most unwieldy question is that of hypnosis. All roads to UFOs always seem +to lead back to hypnosis. It is when patients are under hypnosis that Mack +witnesses extremes of emotion. Patients thrash, cry, shout. Stories pour out of +them. The drama is so great it's hard not to be convinced. + +Mack, who "taught myself to do hypnosis in this work," here stands on shaky +ground. Though scores of therapists around the country are happily in this camp +- fully believing in repressed memories, and regressing patients who then come +up with never-before-remembered stories ranging from ritual torturing of babies +to copulation with aliens - a furious backlash has begun. Many professionals +are concerned that such work is a misuse of the power of the therapist. They +are also alarmed that innocent individuals are being accused of unthinkable +crimes, by patients who themselves have been utterly terrified by hypnotic +"memories" they believe are real. Mack's use of hypnosis enrages some +psychologists, because it opens a very dark Pandora's box. + +Perhaps the most outspoken is Berkely social psychologist Richard Ofshe, who +share a Pulitzer Prize in 1979 for his work in exposing the Synanon cult in +California. Ofshe, with his olive-dark eyes and majestic beard, looks a bit +like a feudal king you wouldn't want to mess with. He's become a crusader +against what he calls extreme forms of influence - from coerced police +confessions to therapist-induced false memories retrieved in trance. He sees a +direct and dangerous bridge between them, and doesn't exempt John Mack for a +minute. + +"If there's a certain brilliance in backing the trendiest wrong horses +available, then John Mack has it," he comments. "He has made a stellar, +absolutely impressive, world-class series of mistakes. First he was in bed with +Sigmund Freud, and we are already beginning to see the obituary of Freud. Then +he was in bed with Werner Erhard, another big-time loser. Now he's in bed with +ET's evil brother." + +Ofshe points out that nobody has proved the concept of "robust" repression of +memory, which is far different from traumatic amnesia (forgetting a single, +horrendous event) or normal memory's denial and whitewashing. Robust repression +requires that one repeatedly forget a recurring event - whether it's that your +father kept raping you or aliens abducted you from the time you were three. +"That's like forgetting you went to high school." + +"John Mack's use of hypnosis runs counter to all we know about it," agrees Fred +Frankel, M.D., psychiatrist-in-chief at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital, a +professor at Harvard Medical School, and editor of the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF +CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL HYPNOSIS. Frankel tells a story that seems to put +Mack in questionable light: a woman was referred to Frankel for disturbing +dreams. "I explained to her that hypnosis does not necessarily provide accurate +recall. I told her that in hypnosis fantasy and suggestion play a major role. +Her response to hypnotic induction was minimal." Not much happened. + +But the woman then found her way to Mack, and "he got a major response." She +recalled her abduction experiences in great detail. Mack describes her reaction +in his book: "Her fear seemed to reach a crescendo as her body writhed in awful +contortions. 'They take control of you and you don't have the energy to fight . +. . .'" + +Mack called Frankel and they talked for two hours about their different +results. This past September, they presented the case at a Grand Rounds, a +standard teaching event for residents and other doctors, whose comments are +always openly invited. The subject was a fairly big draw as these things go. +Seventy people came. "It was done in a cooperative spirit," says Frankel. A +third doctor presided and monitored the discussion of explanations for why +hypnosis could yield two such opposite responses. + +"But [Mack] incorporated none of what was said there into his book," reports +Frankel. "In fact, Mack has devoted an entire chapter to this woman's case and +entitled it, 'Personally, I Don't Believe In UFOs.'" The woman claims that +Frankel himself said this, which he indignantly denies. "Look, I don't know +enough to ever make that statement. I have enough problems with THIS planet!" + +Although Mack acknowledges Frankel's denial in the book, he makes his bias +stunningly clear by using the disputed statement as the chapter title. +Frankel's main point is that Mack continually claims to be neutral but is in +fact totally supportive of abductees and thus must be skewing his results. For +instance, Frankel observes, before beginning hypnosis, Mack often gives people +a pilot interview during which he indicates that he believes in abduction. If +Mack has so clearly cast his lot, that is a stance far removed from balanced +scientific research. The issue is not whether Mack is right or wrong, but that +he has abdicated scientific objectivity; his methods preclude us from ever +getting an answer. + +Hypnosis expert Michael Yapko - whose textbook, TRANCEWORK (Brunner Mazel), is +the leading book in the field - has equally strong words of caution. Yapko +recently surveyed nearly 900 psychotherapists and found that "they are grossly +misinformed about the nature of hypnosis." The great strength of hypnosis, says +Yapko, is that under trance "you can accept and respond to a suggested reality. +Therapists like Mack may be oblivious to the fact that they're creating the +experiences they then have to treat. These phenomena are not arising +independent of his influence." + +Even therapists who are intrigued by and half-convinced of the reality of UFOs +concede this fact. "Expectations of the observer have a tremendous amount to do +with what's produced," explains Jim Gordon, a clinical professor of psychiatry +at Georgetown Medical School who published an article on UFOs in THE ATLANTIC. +"Patients in Jungian analysis have Jungian dreams, and in Freudian analysis +they have Freudian dreams. That's why therapists with different approaches to +UFOs produce different reactions in their patients." + +Mack responds to all these protests with the helpless shrug of a man who is +simply convinced of what he is seeing. "I know this sounds like hedging, but we +don't know in what reality this occurs. False and true memory don't apply. This +is powerfully real, but in what reality?" I asked him where he felt he belonged +in the raging controversy over memory and abuse. Does he think memories of +satanic abuse might be happening in an alternate reality? He postulated that +indeed they might: "Perhaps those memories are experientially true but they +didn't factually happen in this reality." What does this mean? In the fourth +dimension - or perhaps the sixth dimension? + +Mack is the most frustrating type of true believer: congenial, intelligent, and +absolutely impenetrable. "People say you may be influencing them, there must be +childhood trauma, memory is not reliable. I could say all those things but it's +not like that. It's authentic." + +But what does he mean by authentic? I interviewed one of Mack's prime +abductees, Peter Faust, a Boston acupuncturist and spiritual healer, a man +Mack says the aliens simply won't let rest. Faust is as handsome as a soap- +opera star, with dark hair and dimples. He and his wife were in the Caribbean +when he remembers saying, "You little fuckers get out of here!" The next +morning he had some odd bites behind his ears. It was years and several +dreams later that he "realized" what might have happened to him and went +to Mack for hypnotic regression. + +Peter told me with absolute sincerity how he recalled under trance that during +his abductions, sperm had been suctioned from him with a funnel device and that +he had been bred with a particular alien female. I turned to his wife at that +point and asked her how she felt about this. + +"Well," she admitted, "it's hard. Sometimes I wonder if I should pack up and +leave. It's like the affair that never ends. And I can't do anything about it." + +I turned to Peter. His eyes were burning with a believer's intensity. "They're +coming in our lifetime, I guarantee it." + +# + + Waiting For A Verdict +The jury on UFOs may forever remain out - floating somewhere in the cosmos +among spaceships and alien breeders. Yet perhaps the most interesting aspect of +John Mack and his work is not whether it is valid, but the intense furor +surrounding it. Carl Sagan, the foremost astronomer of our time, wrote an +impassioned cover story for PARADE magazine about our national obsession with +aliens. (Mack wrote him a nine-page letter in rebuttal, but it went +unpublished.) Sagan contends that there is no hard evidence of ETs on this +planet, and that so-called abductions are most likely hallucinations. +Nonetheless "we have before us a matter of supreme importance - touching on +our limitations...the fashioning of our beliefs and perhaps even the origins +of our religions." + +So, when Mack says this phenomenon gets at the very core of "who we are" and +"makes us question all realities," he is right. We will always wonder about our +place in the universe, and the form that wonder takes will always reflect the +age. Ours is an age of rockets and radio waves, an era mesmerized by the +pleasures of purging and confession, caught by the belief in widespread abuse, +and both troubled and inspired by questions of consciousness itself. If anyone +is an emblem of our age, John Mack is. The real disappointment is that he +brings us no closer to the truth - even though he could. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

And no one has heard from +the little people yet. + The aliens, that is. + "Abduction," the much-publicized book by Harvard psychiatrist John Mack +about extraterrestrial visitations, had barely touched down in bookstores this +week before it came under heavy groundfire from critics of both Mack's +methodology and his UFO-friendly mindset. + Time magazine fired the loudest shot in a report that one "experiencer" on +whom Mack practiced hypnotic regression therapy, Donna Bassett, says she faked +tales of her encounters with space aliens -- and that Mack not only believed +the stories but also failed to obtain consent forms from his research subjects. + + + Mack has seen or treated more than 100 abductees since 1991, most of whom say +they are victims of sexual or genetic experimentation by their captors. +"Abduction" contains detailed case studies on 13 of those patients. + Bassett also charges Mack with billing insurance companies improperly for +therapy sessions that were actually research. Furthermore, the Time story, +written by veteran investigative reporter James Willwerth, suggests that +Mack's work is riddled with scientific improprieties, including supplying +patients with accounts of other abduction experiences before hypnotizing them. + + + For Mack, a tenured Harvard professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning +biographer, these attacks on his credibility have hit a raw nerve. Mack is in +the launch phase of an all-out publicity blitzkrieg ("Oprah" "48 Hours," +People, Larry King) that includes network TV interviews with several of his +research subjects. These people are clearly emotionally and psychologically +vulnerable, whatever the underlying cause might be. And so, to a degree, is +Mack, whose credentials far outweigh those of any previous investigator +publicly aligned with the abduction-recovery movement. + Yes, Mack says, he anticipated the mainstream media would have difficulty +swallowing his conclusion that these abduction reports are reality-based. +Skeptical criticism of his work is to be expected, he says, even welcomed. + Moreover, Mack harbors few illusions that anyone hung up on Western +scientific rationalism will cede much ground to him in this debate. Mack +himself calls abductions a "great mystery" that defy proof, one way or another. + + + Or logic. Only reluctantly did he come to believe in them himself, Mack +says. + But this latest flurry hits below the professional belt, the clinician +contends. + "Why do they pick the most destructive part of the story and focus on that? +" Mack asks. "One or two disaffected persons come forward. Why don't they look +into her background? It surprises me they {Time} would go so far to discredit +me when they claim to be seriously interested in the phenomenon." + Mack insists he is bound by doctor-patient confidentiality not to discuss +in any detail his work with Bassett, a researcher now living in North Carolina. + + + He will say, however, that he dealt with Bassett "in good faith" and that if +he gave her any UFO-related articles to read, it was only to satisfy her own +curiosity about the abduction experience. + "People can be angry for all sorts of reasons," he maintains. "I doubt the +writer checked out her background." + Mack also says that while he did bill third-party insurers for some therapy +sessions, he kept none of the money for himself. The total amount, he says, +which he estimates to be between $2,000 and $3,000, went to a now-defunct +support group known as Group for Research and Aid to Last year, Mack +founded The Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER) to oversee +his abduction research. PEER in turn is overseen by, and funded through, the +Center for Psychology and Social Change, a nonprofit organization co-founded +by Mack in 1983 to facilitate scholarly research into topics such as human +psychology and the nuclear arms race. + According to Karen Wesolowski of PEER, billing and consent procedures +changed once Mack stopped treating incoming abductees as private psychiatric +patients. At that point, she says, PEER mailed out consent forms to all of +Mack's abductee patients, current and former. Most, though not all, signed the +forms, she maintains. Meanwhile, Mack stopped billing insurers in order to be +"absolutely scrupulous" about the clinical division between research and +therapy. + As for his methodology, Mack calls it "very legitimate" to raise questions +about how he has gone about recovering memories of alien encounters. In +"Helping Abductees," a 1992 article in the International UFO Reporter, Mack +noted that he "had little training in hypnosis as a psychiatric resident and +had virtually to teach myself." He credits pioneering investigator Budd +Hopkins with helping him refine his techniques. Hopkins, a visual artist, has +written two popular books on the abduction phenomenon, "Missing Time" and +"Intruders." + On numerous occasions, Mack continues, sitting in his cramped office +located behind Cambridge Hospital, other therapists and researchers have been +present to observe -- and validate -- the relived trauma that subjects +experience under hypnosis. Tapes of these sessions leave little doubt that +their emotional suffering is real, not invented. + "It's conceivable somebody could dupe me, of course," Mack says, referring +to Bassett, "but I've had a lot of clinical experience. And this {Time} +article says I'm damaging people. Where is the evidence for that?" + Furthermore, he asks, "How could I possibly keep everybody happy? There are +bound to be one or two disaffected people. That's what I object to, the focus +on them. It ignores the dozens and dozens of people I've helped." + Time reporter Willwerth is more skeptical. He dismisses Mack's complaints +about lack of background checking as nonsense. A specialist in health-research +abuse, Willwerth says he thoroughly reviewed both Bassett's charges and the +supporting evidence, while Time's lawyers in turn thoroughly vetted his piece. +"The bottom line is, there was no informed consent going on," says the writer. +"We checked this out 13 ways from Sunday." + Bassett first met Mack in September 1992 and underwent three "regression" +sessions with him over the next four months. She says reading other articles +by Mack about abductions "told me exactly what he was looking for" when she +pretended to be hypnotized. She also maintains that real harm may have been +done to at least some of his research subjects, who have been stripped of +other psychological support systems. + "This isn't about UFOs," Bassett insists, speaking by phone from her home +in North Carolina. "This is a way to hide human experimentation that's been +undertaken for a personal political agenda." + That agenda, contends Bassett, is reflected in the message Mack cliams to +have distilled from patients' encounters with aliens: that the planet is +threatened by ecological destruction, that earthlings must wake up before the +destruction goes too far and that human-alien cross-breeding may be the only +way to save a doomed race. Mack would hardly quibble with that assessment of +the message, only with how the messenger -- himself -- is being treated by +opponents like Bassett. + "Contrary to what some critics say," says Mack, "I was surprised by the +message of earth's destruction." + Mack does admit, though, that colleagues warned him long ago that he would +open himself up to professional criticism -- if not outright ridicule -- by +pursuing abduction research. Still, he insists, he has no regrets. + "I have this innocent confidence that if you do your work in a +comprehensive and objective way," he says, "it stands on its own. + "I'm not worried the attacks will silence me.

Since many +people will find this new book incredible, it is important to +emphasise that the author's credentials are impeccable. + + Mack claims to have interviewed more than a hundred people who +say that they have been abducted by aliens. Of these, 47 females +and 29 males, including three boys of eight and under, have +convinced Mack that their accounts of being abducted are genuine. +In this book, he presents 13 selected cases, eight men and five +women. + + The usual pattern of an abduction is that the abductee is at +home or in a car. He or she sees a bright light, sometimes blue, +which emanates from a spacecraft or UFO to which the abductee is +taken by "floating" through walls or the roof of a car. Further +transportation to a larger spacecraft follows. "Communication +between aliens and humans is telepathic, mind to mind or thought to +thought, with no specific common learned language being necessary." + + Most victims describe aliens as small, grey, and hairless, with +large heads and long arms. The captive usually feels unable to move +any part of the body except the head. The aliens then conduct +experiments on the abductee's body, often using instruments which +remove eggs from females and sperm samples from men. These +experiments are usually felt as intrusive, but there are also +reports of rewarding sexual intercourse with aliens. Many abductees +believe the aliens have an interspecies breeding programme, and say +they have seen hybrid infants in spacecraft. + + Aliens are generally regarded as "more advanced spiritually and +emotionally than we are", which makes it hard to understand why +they should want to interbreed with humans, whose misuse of the +earth they usually condemn as wicked or stupid. For not all the +habits of aliens are nasty: they also issue timely warnings. When +in the spacecraft, the captives are given information about the +fate of the earth, which may include scenes of devastation +following a nuclear explosion, lifeless polluted landscapes and +"apocalyptic images of giant earthquakes, firestorms, floods, and +even fractures of the planet itself". Some lucky abductees are +given glimpses of their previous incarnations, as, for example, a +tomb-painter in ancient Egypt. + + Abduction experiences often run in families. Mack states that +his subjects are free from psychiatric illness or psychological or +emotional conditions which could account for their abductions. Yet +examination of his 13 cases reveals that all reported strange +experiences, neurotic symptoms or preoccupation with the paranormal +from early childhood onward. One subject had been seeing a +psychiatrist for seven years. Another had seizures, migraine-like +headaches, visual hallucinations and a temporarily abnormal +electroencephalogram. Some have been searching for enlightenment in +a variety of sects throughout their lives. + + Mack used hypnosis to induce regression to childhood and recover +memories of abduction experiences. He states that "abductees are +peculiarly unsuggestible". If so, one would expect that they would +be hard to hypnotise. Yet he also writes that "abductees seem to +move readily into trance" and shares with readers his impression +"that the reports provided under hypnosis are generally more +accurate than those consciously recalled". + + Mack's technique of inducing the hypnotic state includes deep, +rapid breathing. He reports that, at the end of the session, his +subjects often experience cramps in the muscles of the hands. +Overbreathing interferes with calcium metabolism and may cause such +cramps, which are known as tetany; but Mack does not mention this. +Nor does he consider the possibility that his form of therapy is +creating a new, crazy sect whose members try to outdo each other's +fantasies. We have enough interplanetary societies already. + + Mack learned the breathing technique from the work of a +psychiatrist called Stanislav Grof. It is said to facilitate travel +through history and the establishment of "transpersonal +relationships". Mack told Esquire that, when he practised it +himself, he found that in one of his past lives he had been a +16th-century Russian who had to watch a band of Mongols decapitate +his four-year-old son. + + I wonder if aliens are as credulous and gullible as human +beings? They could hardly be more so. John Mack, of course, +realises that he has put his reputation as a professor of +psychiatry on the line. If he is eventually professionally +discredited, his $250,000 American advance will hardly constitute +sufficient comfort. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Hoagland, Founder + The MARS MISSION + + + Abstract + + NASA's unmanned Viking mission in 1976 returned images of a +set of highly controversial, anthropomorphic and geometric +objects located in the Cydonia Mensae region of the planet Mars. +These objects for 13 years have been derisively dismissed as +irrelevant to SETI -- the Search for Extraterrestrial +Intelligence -- mainly, it is argued, because NASA's on-going +SETI Program has systematically ignored the potential for ET- +generated physical evidence within the confines of the solar +system; interstellar radio searches of the electromagnetic +spectrum are currently the exclusive SETI focus. Recent work, +however, now reveals a set of strikingly ^Rspecific and repeating +mathematical constants^R, derived from redundant geometric +spacing and alignments between five geomorphologically diverse +objects -- including a direct mathematical connection with the +siting latitude of the objects on the planet. It is argued that +this new evidence presents robust support for the "intelligence +hypothesis" as an increasingly likely explantion of these +enigmatic landforms. The only potential natural process capable +of producing such specific mathematical relationships -- +crystallization -- is reviewed and dismissed for a variety of +reasons, ranging from scale factors, to the extreme morphological +diversity of the mathematically connected objects, to the absence +of known surface constituants capable of forming such +crystallization patterns. Even an unknown "local crystallization +phenomenon," it is pointed out, could have no plausible +connection with the specific latitude of the objects on the +planet -- the strongest single observation in favor of an +"intelligence hypothesis." Comparison is inescapable: between +the potential geometric "signal" strongly suggested by these new +observations at Cydonia, and proposals made by several well-known +investigators of the last century for similar patterns to be +impressed upon terrestrial signals to hypothetical +extraterrestrial observers -- proposals that included the +construction of giant geometric figures here on Earth. + +Acceptance of these observations is not equivalent to acceptance +of the potential existence of "Martians"; recent discussions of +the feasibility of sub-light interstellar exploration make clear +that, while previous visits to the solar system by advanced +technical societies is difficult, it is not precluded by the +parameters of current physics. In conclusion, therefore, it is +argued that these new observations mandate a general +reexamination of the existing SETI paradigm regarding ET +artifacts, even as they urgently suggest the need for an +acceleration of the effort to secure new Cydonia imagery from +Mars Observer. + + END + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Mack fails to specify exactly what it is +about the alien abduction stories that convinces him of their validity. He +touches on two possibilities: that his sample population appears to be a cross +section with no obvious psychological disturbance, and that the stories share +a consistent theme. In his last paragraph, he alludes to the argument that +this is a higher spiritual something to weep about; I cannot respond to that. + + But his prototypical abduction story touched me - could I have repressed +memories of an abduction? No, unlike his patients, I remember my first +abductions story encounter. I was 8 years old, reading my uncle's copy of +Incredible Science Fiction Comics in August 1955. It told of protoplasmic +beings from somewhere else, who upon observing that man "chose, instead of +peace, a path of violence" decide to kidnap a breeding pair "of the highest +possible type." + + Since there were hundreds of such stories written and millions of +copies published, it is not surprising that Dr. Mack has encountered lots of +people with the same silly ideas rattling around their heads. It is surprising +that no one appears to have noticed that the story lines belong to 1950s comic +books. Now this doesn't preclude the occurence of actual abductions that just +happen to resemble comic books, it simply offers an explanation. + + As for his cross-section argument, consider that dime novels written in +New York and a commercial rodeo invented the Old West and cowboys, a culture +and way of life that never existed. And now, 100 years later, we have country- +and-western music recorded on digital audio and country line dancing enjoyed +by millions of people who have never been on a horse. Most of them have strong +feelings about the West and the way of life it represents, even though they +are a random sample and exhibit no obvious psychological disturbances. + + What is damning to Dr. Mack's case is the description of the beings busy +monitoring, performing specific tasks and carrying out mechanical functions. +Don't these superior beings have microprocessors and embedded control systems? +In the 1950s, comics and B-movies, (see the opening scenes of "Forbidden +Planet") depicted the crew watching dials and twisting knobs as they fiddled +the spaceship to the destination. Today, we have automated most of these jobs +away.

Indeed, +it would be unlikely that many individuals would construct an experience that +challenged the prevailing parameters. + + Dr. Mack's suggestion that there is something rigid and limiting about +science as a tool for understanding how everything works, including ourselves, +is disingenuous at best. I cannot imagine telling a patient suffering from +horrific hallucinations that his reality is just as good as mine and perhaps +just as accurate. There is in psychology a concept called "object constancy" - +simply put, this means that while feelings can be individual and personal, +reality is the same everywhere and can be measured.

The memory of being abducted does not place space ships +overhead. + + Evidently, these aliens are visiting us for biological and reproductive +reasons. There is lots of penetration, by instruments and worse, presumably to +(a) reconduct tissue sampling that they have done, we gather, on thousands of +people before, and (b) impregnate our females so that hybrid creatures can be +conceived and then kidnapped and taken back to the home planet. One can only +be amazed that beings who can make trillion-mile trips through space evade our +most sophisticated radar - and visit repeatedly without leaving the slightest +credible physical trace of their existence and promote human amnesia and +obedience at will - would have such primitive science that they could not +reproduce our DNA on their own. + + It seems far more likely that we are in the midst of the last gasp of +humanity's sense of its own importance.

So why +couldn't their technology clone humans from the DNA in a toenail, instead of +dragging people to the mother ship for bondage and discipline? The aliens' +green politics are also remarkably similar to Mack's; their agenda is to make a +race that will stop polluting planet Earth.

Lawrence, has investigated more than +75 cases of alleged alien abduction. He offers the stories of 13 +people who clearly believe they have been visited by +extraterrestrials. Mack also seems to believe. The language +throughout "Abduction" gives the subjects the benefit of the doubt, +referring to them as "experiencers" and noting matter-of-factly +that "children have experienced being taken from school yards," and +"abduction encounters begin most commonly in homes or when +abductees are driving automobiles. One woman was taken from a +snowmobile on a winter's day." + + Unfortunately, he offers no proof. + + Mack says we shouldn't get hung up on physical evidence or even +eyewitness corroboration of other-worldly abductions. The abduction +phenomenon, he says, might take place on another level of +consciousness. That's why it might seem like a dream, or not be +recalled at all without hypnosis. + + So how does Mack determine if someone is pulling his leg? + + "My criterion for including or crediting an observation by an +abductee is simply whether what has been reported was felt to be +real by the experiencer and was communicated sincerely and +authentically to me," he reports in his typically stilted academese. + + Unfortunately, on those grounds, I'd have to also believe in +the Loch Ness monster, which, given recent revelations of a faked +photograph of Lessie, is inviting the crackpot designation. + + Mack understands my need for a picture, a fingerprint (tentacle +print?) . . . something. + + "I do not expect that the material presented in this book will +have much impact on the minds of those who believe that the laws of +physics as encompassed by the Newtonian/Einsteinian system are the +full definition of reality," he writes.

Mack Scribner's. 432 pp. $22 + + AS a science-fiction writer, I am predisposed to enjoy such things as +psychotronic space-invader films, crazed saucer cults and the modern pop myth +of UFOs. But with John Mack's Abduction, ufology has reached a vile new low. + + Mack, professor of psychiatry at the Cambridge Hospital, Harvard Medical +School, is the author of a psychobiography of T.E. Lawrence, Prince of Our +Disorder. He was on the board of directors of Werner Erhard's est in the early +1980s and brings a hard-eyed huckster's zeal to his trade. His business is +hypnotizing and regressing subjects - he calls them "experiencers" - in order +to help them bring forth memories of UFO abductions, often decades after these +supposedly took place. + + Business is booming for Mack and his ilk, and, with the support of Las +Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow, more and more "mental health professionals" +are being trained to hypnotize troubled individuals who come to believe that +they have been abducted by flying saucers. + + What are the abduction fantasies like? Much of a dreary muchness. You're +in bed or in a car. You see a light. You float up into the air and into a +flying saucer. Inside the saucer a tall alien who reminds you of a doctor +probes at your genitals and sticks things up your anus. If you are a man, the +"doctor" masturbates you to orgasm, and if you are a woman, the "doctor" +extracts eggs from your ovaries. Then the aliens give you a millenarian spiel +about how it's high time the human race got its act together, and you wake up +back in your car or in your bed. This pathetically infantile scenario was +first popularized by Whitley Strieber's bestseller Communion. But come on! Is +this really what superhuman aliens would do? + + In Abduction, the emphasis on sex, or what Mack calls "urological- +gynecological procedures," is icky and pervasive. Mack repeatedly stresses +that the "sperm samples are forcibly taken" from the men. He never seems to +entertain the notion that these men may have some sexual guilt over nocturnal +emissions coupled with garden-variety masochistic sexual fantasies. And it is +interesting to notice that at least one of his female subjects has bad +memories of having undergone an abortion. + + If the case studies which Mack describes weren't so pitiful, this could +all be quite funny. "Ed," for instance, tells Mack how a saucer woman taught +him the secrets of the universe after having masturbated him. In Ed's words, +"she explained things in scientific, logical terms . . . da, da, da that these +are the laws of the universe, da da da da da, and you know." Mack wonderingly +observes that later "Ed found that he had an instinctive appreciation . . . of +such matters as Einsteinian relativity, micro- and macrorealities, the +curvature of space, and the paradoxes in scientific laws." Da da da da da! + + But Abduction is not really funny. It goes without saying that the book is +written with the complete lack of humor characteristic of the true believer. +And what makes the book very actively unfunny is the feeling that Mack's +procedures may be really damaging to some of his subjects. + + The chapter called "Alienation of Affections" is particularly disturbing. +Here we have an account of "Jerry," a high-school dropout housewife with three +children. "All three of Jerry's children appear to be involved in the +abduction phenomenon." The children cry and scream when they see Bert and +Ernie on TV, when they see commercials with UFOs, and when they dream of +"scary owls with eyes." So what is Mack doing for this tormented family? +Courageously convincing them that their worst dreams are really true. As he +staunchly puts it, "On several occasions I have seen a look of distress, even +tears, on the face of an abductee at the moment when he or she realizes that +an experience they had chosen, more comfortably, to consider a dream had +occurred in some sort of fully `awake' . . . or conscious state . . . " + + IT'S LIKE a child saying, "I had a nightmare about a monster." And the +parent answering, "Yes, dear, so did I. And . . . honey . . . it's not a dream. + + It's really true." + + This is irresponsible, dangerous claptrap. Some thrill-seekers will of +course enjoy their abduction-regression sessions with Mack. They pay him for +weird new memories and he delivers. As he delicately puts it, "I cannot avoid +the fact that a co-creative intuitive process such as this may yield +information that is in some sense the product of the intermingling or flowing +together of the consciousness of the two (or more) people in the room." But +what about those who get in deeper than they expected with Mack's "therapy"? +And what about their families? + + Perhaps to forestall this kind of criticism, Mack stresses that he +attempts to lead his subjects towards the "transformational and spiritual +growth aspects of the abduction phenomenon." In practice, this means that he +attempts to get his subjects to undergo a kind of "ego death" and "experience +themselves as returning to their cosmic source or `Home,' an inexpressibly +beautiful realm beyond . . . space/time as we know it." Well, groovy, man, but +like why can't we just drop acid? + + Why is it, finally, that I find Abduction so annoying? I guess it's +because I love the idea of UFOs, and Abduction drags this idea into the mud. +UFOs should be a witty and inspiring notion, but in the hands of John Mack, +UFOs become boring and above all humorless. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Well, +Mary Oscarson claims to be perfectly sane, despite the belief that she's had +over 100 alien encounters. And she says that there's proof that her +experiences are real: witnesses, tape recordings, and these sketches that she +says she is compelled to draw.

Now, it's very easy to make fun of all of us +this, but you state that you have had over 100 experiences. Give us the +typical kinds of things that occur when you have this experience - how it +starts and how it ends. + MARY OSCARSON, Says She was Abducted by Aliens: Well, generally, when it +first started out, I would be waken up in the middle of the night to find a +small being standing next to my bed. + SONYA: Who looked like...? + Ms. OSCARSON: About the size of a child, very pale gray, large dark eyes, +very penetrating eyes. And there was no mistake I was wide awake. + SONYA: You were awakened by a voice, a feeling that there was a presence +in the room? + Ms. OSCARSON: It's an overwhelming feeling of someone staring at you. The +eyes are so intense; it's as if they stare right through to your soul. It's +as if your whole body is being consumed by this energy that's staring at you. + SONYA: Does the entity speak to you? + Ms. OSCARSON: Most of the communication is telepathic. Occasionally, there +has been times where they've actually spoken in English. And as the years +progressed, it went from being awaken from sleep to actually being awake when +they arrived. In other words, I would actually know when they were coming. + SONYA: Like an aura of something that would- + Ms. OSCARSON: Basically, there's somewhat of an electromagnetic energy +that is in the room and surrounding you before an experience is going to occur. + + And I have an implant that I've had since age 7, which actually twinges when +I'm going to have an experience. + SONYA: An implant located...? + Ms. OSCARSON: It was placed there when I was 7 years old, and it's a small +BB-sized pellet. + SONYA: Something that we could see on X-ray, for example? + Ms. OSCARSON: I don't know what it's made of. It's a very hard material. + SONYA: It's something I could feel if I touched your arm? + Ms. OSCARSON: Oh, yes, you can definitely feel it. Definitely. + It's right under the surface of the skin. + SONYA: And that vibrates, in some way? + Ms. OSCARSON: It basically twinges, and that lets me know that something's +going to happen. And generally, it does happen the same night. So I'm almost +aware that I'm going to have an experience because of {unintelligible}. + SONYA: So they arrive and then they take you somewhere? + Ms. OSCARSON: They arrive, and they basically materialize in front of your +eyes, and it's a very scary thing. And from that point on, you really are in +a sedated state of mind. You're not able to really- + SONYA: They have control of you, in some ways? + Ms. OSCARSON: Yes, they definitely do. + SONYA: Do you go through the walls? + Ms. OSCARSON: I've been taken through walls. I've been taken through +windows. I'm basically transported up into some type of a ship. + SONYA: Do you see your body below you? + Ms. OSCARSON: No, I don't. + SONYA: So your body is with you, which just, somehow its form has been +altered so that you can go through a wall and go to a ship? + Ms. OSCARSON: The physical body actually moves through walls and through +windows. I don't know how they do it. + SONYA: And then you're in a...? + Ms. OSCARSON: I'm generally transported, first, in a smaller ship to a +larger ship. That's generally the experience that I have. + SONYA: Do you have any idea how long you're gone? + Ms. OSCARSON: Generally, it's usually about two hours. + SONYA: At that point, have people looked for you and found you missing? + Ms. OSCARSON: There have been several times that I've had people actually +staying in my house. And what happens is they are awakened by a very loud +tone coming from my room, an unexplainable tone that they've never heard +before. They want to cry out and say, `Mary, what's going on? Are you OK?' +They can't move. They can't speak, and generally, they lose periods of time: +anywhere from 20 minutes to about two or three hours. + SONYA: Let's get back to the ship that you're on. What do they do to you, +want from you? + Ms. OSCARSON: Well, when I'm actually physically removed from my home, +often, it's for some type of a reproductive procedure. Generally, I'm placed +on a table and a procedure is done where eggs are removed from my ovaries. +There have been a few instances- + SONYA: Do you mean like a gynecological procedure? + Ms. OSCARSON: Yes. And there is a tremendous amount of pain associated +with that. That's part of the trauma of these experiences is that you are +able to feel the pain. + SONYA: And then, after the eggs- That's what you're sure is occurring? + Ms. OSCARSON: Yes. + SONYA: The eggs are removed? + Ms. OSCARSON: Yes. + SONYA: Do they tell you a purpose? + Ms. OSCARSON: As the years have gone by, it seems to me that they've made +me more aware of what's going on. I know that they are, in some way, +producing some type of hybrid species. I believe it's for our own best +interests. I believe that something that they're doing is going to help us in +the end. It's going to benefit us. But it sure doesn't feel like it when +you're going through these procedures. + SONYA: Now, do they tell you that they're there to benefit you, human kind, + what is it? + Ms. OSCARSON: I actually asked them once, `Why do you come here?' I was +very upset. It was so confusing to me, and I'm a very rational person. +`Please,' I wanted to know, `Why do you come here? Why do you come and see me?' +And in this particular experience, it was a taller being and several of the +smaller ones. And the taller being, generally, they're more evolved and are +able to communicate more with you. The taller being looked at me and said, +`We come here because we care about you.' And there was an overwhelming- + SONYA: You specifically? + Ms. OSCARSON: Me specifically. But I believe that you could equate that +to society as a whole. + SONYA: Now, how has this changed your life? I mean, you have been +selected. Talk about the chosen people. I mean, you are clearly one of them, +and you believe that there is something going on. Why you and what has it +done to and for you? + Ms. OSCARSON: I know, for me, I have a whole different perspective of life +now. I appreciate everything in my life. As my day to day life goes on, +there isn't one thing that I don't notice, that I don't appreciate, because +I've been through so much trauma, I realize that life can end tomorrow. +Sometimes I wonder, Will I ever come back? + SONYA: How do you feel about the fact that you may have hybrid children +growing somewhere that will never see their mother? + Ms. OSCARSON: I do have at least three that I'm aware of, and it's very +difficult. I can relate to a parent who has lost a child through +{unintelligible} or some unfortunate circumstance, because I've been handed +children that are mine that are the product of my eggs, and it's very +difficult. + SONYA: So what do you think so far? A wild and bizarre story, a fantasy, +something that she made up? Well, there are people who don't think that this +is made up at all. And some of them have striking credentials. We'll hear +from them. A debate on alien abductions when we continue right after this. + {Commercial break} + + {scene from the movie `E.T.'} + SONYA: Maybe we should rethink E.T. and see it as a documentary. In fact, +today's debate: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, bizarre dreams, fiction, +fantasy. I mean, what would the academics up at Harvard University think +about all of this? Well, meet Dr. John Mack. He is a Harvard professor, a +Pulitzer Prize winning author, and a believer in aliens from outer space. In +his new book, Abduction, Dr. Mack shares his research, his interviews, with +over a hundred UFO experiences. + Now, Philip Klass has done his own research on the subject, and he says +that Dr. Mack is gullible, and his so-called `experiences' are either +publicity hounds or just plain crazy. + {interviewing} Now, Dr. Mack, what do you make of a story like Mary +Oscarson's? + JOHN E. MACK, M.D., Alien/UFO Researcher: Mary's story is characteristic +of the stories of about 90 people that I've interviewed now. And I, like many +other people first hearing this, thought this must be some new kind of madness, +new form of psychosis, if you will. But what happened was, as I interviewed +these individuals - and I think it's important to stress that these stories +come out largely without hypnosis; you can complete the details with hypnosis - +but as I interviewed increasing numbers of these people, I was struck by, +first of all, they were of sound mind, solid, not having a psychiatric +disorder that I could find. Several of them, I've had tested psychologically, +and they've come out with high normal individuals with nothing remarkable +about them. They come from all walks of life throughout the socio-economic +scale. And they were telling stories very, very detailed stories that were +not in the media, not something they were picking up from television. They +were very reluctant to come forward with their stories. And they told these +very complex narratives, which they, themselves doubted. They didn't want to +believe it either. It's not something that they were kind of trying to put +forward as to sell somebody something. This was something they, themselves +couldn't believe, because it was shattering to their own world view. And the +only thing I knew that acted like that, in other words, very similar stories +among people who are not in communication, not getting the details someplace +else, disturbed about it but healthy people, was real experience. Dreams are +not like that. Fantasy is not like that. Mental illness is not like that. +Posttraumatic stress is not like that, because that varies from person to +person. So it's something real. +That doesn't mean I know where it comes from. That doesn't mean I know what +it is or who these beings are or what they're really about, but something real, +that was tangible was going on here. + SONYA: And you just call them beings. So I hear you as saying that there +were beings, for example, in Mary Oscarson's room, that she was transported, +that you think. It's not that she just believes this, but that it occurred. + Dr. MACK: Something occurred to her, which was the experience of having +these beings, which really introduces the whole question of how we know +something. In other words, can we know something- + SONYA: But are you equivocating on me now? + Dr. MACK: I'm equivocating in the sense that I'm trying to extend the +dialogue on the way we know. In other words, I can't prove they're there. + SONYA: Can we get into that in just a moment? But just to say to you that, +as far as you're concerned, these UFO experiences, they experience what they +said they experienced. + Dr. MACK: That's right. They are telling the truth. + SONYA: Philip Klass, this is a nice man, Dr. John Mack. This man has big +credentials. This man is a Harvard professor. You're going to go against him? + PHILIP KLASS, UFO Researcher: Well, first off, I think John is a very +charismatic person. But I must challenge him and this young lady, although, I +think it's very fortunate that she is here with you, because she says that she +has an implant placed by E.T.'s in her arm that has been there since she was +age 7. Now, I feel sure that between then and now - I guess she may be in her +late 30s or 40s - she must have brought that to the attention of her doctor. +And I wonder if she would give us the name and address of her doctor and +authorize him to talk to us about his examination of this alleged implant. + SONYA: Well, let's go to Mary. + Mary, I heard you ask about the desire to have a second opinion, if you +would - another opinion from a physician. Would you give us the name of your +doctor? Could we talk to your doctor about this? + Ms. OSCARSON: My mother brought me to the doctor at age 7 when this +implant was first inserted. And at that time, I was not consciously aware of +how it got there, but I distinctly knew that it hadn't been there the day +before. So my mother actually wrote down the day she took me to the doctor. +I believe it was June 22nd, 1968. And if my physician would be willing, +certainly, someone could talk to him. I have no problem with that. + SONYA: So you would leave that name with us, and we've give it to Mr. +Klass. + Ms. OSCARSON: Certainly. + SONYA: That's not a problem. + Ms. OSCARSON: No, there's no problem. + SONYA: OK. We'll take you up on that, Mr. Klass. + We're going to go to Nevada for just a moment and say hello to Lisa. +Welcome! + 1st CALLER: {Nevada} Hello! + SONYA: Yes, go ahead. + 1st CALLER: I want to talk to the young lady that's there. I'm a little +upset with this, I mean, talking here. Don't let anyone tell you that it's +not true. I'm 44 years old. I have a fruit mark scar in the middle of my +forehead. I have actually seen them. + They've been in my house. And it is true, and it's been happening to me all +my life. And I wanted to tell you that I also have an implant in my ear. I +hear noises all the time. + SONYA: All right. Stay with us, caller. + Philip Klass, I'm sure you'd like to ask this caller a question. + Mr. KLASS: Yes. I'd like to get her name and phone number and the name of +her doctor, because I assume that she has brought this alleged implant. If we +could get something, it would take just one extra terrestrial implant- + SONYA: Well, just a minute. We have a woman who has- We have someone who +has examined these people, who is certified as a psychiatrist, who can speak +to whether or not they have psychiatric illness. His name is Dr. John Mack. +I mean, you've examined these people. You're sure that what you're doing and +what these people say holds up to scientific inquiry. + Dr. MACK: I'm confident that there's no psychiatric explanation that's +going to help us understand Mary's story. I've looked at an implant that came +from the nose of another person I've worked with. + I've analyzed this. I've done elemental spectroscopic analysis of it. It +has elements that are familiar to us on earth. Other people, David Pritchard +{sp?} at MIT, a physicist, has looked at an implant that he's been looking at, +examining. There's a microbiologist at Michigan- + Mr. KLASS: Is there anything extraordinary about any of these implants? + Dr. MACK: They have combinations that are found on earth of elements, but +that doesn't tell us anything, because these implants have to be compatible +with biological tissue. And initially, we thought that, you know, we might +have that smoking gun. But this is a very subtle matter. This is not going +to give us the smoking gun, I don't believe, that simply. We're going to have +to work to find that out. But the fact that we can't prove that there's some +bizarre combination of elements in these implants does not mean that this is +not a truthful situation or that nothing is going on here. + SONYA: I would like to ask you what kind of proof you have brought forth +to the scientific community, your colleagues at Harvard, for example. + Dr. MACK: What I say about this is not that I can prove literally that the +extra terrestrials are physical creatures just like you and me. What I can +say is that these individuals, 90 of them that I've worked with are of sound +mind. They are having real experiences. There are physical, corroborative +data that goes along with this. They have the cuts, the scoop marks, the +implants, the experience of missing pregnancies. They're witness to the +absent- That I have a child, for example that says, `Mommy, where were you +when I came in the night,' when the mother was having one of these experiences. + But I do not say that I can prove this in the traditional, physical way that +we study that theology of science. + SONYA: More on that, because you want to tell us a little bit about a +redefining of what our world is all about. We'll let you do that. We'll get +back to you after our break, Mr. Klass. And, of course, your calls. Now, +please be prepared and do it. We want you to leave your name, your doctors +name and phone number. And any E.T.'s out there? Phone home. + {Commercial break} + + SONYA: Some people can't take UFO's seriously at all, but others take them +very seriously, indeed, because they say, they have met the passengers. Alien +tales. We'll continue with them on Sonya Live right after this. + {Commercial break} + + SONYA: You know, the polls vary somewhere between 700,000 over several +million people who would say that they have had alien abduction experiences. +We'd like to have your stories. And let's go to Joey in Illinois now. +Welcome, Joey! + 2nd CALLER: {Illinois} Hi, how are you? + SONYA: Good. + 2nd CALLER: First and foremost, I'd like to commend Mary for being on the +program. I am an abductee. I'm 53 years old. I've had dozens of abductions +and they're very humiliating and very embarrassing. + SONYA: Humiliating how? + 2nd CALLER: The actual physical examinations, after you're done with the +abduction and you're returned, you're very, very embarrassed. Sometimes, you +don't know why you're embarrassed, but it's absolutely horrifying. + SONYA: Now, do you have any idea why you were selected? + 2nd CALLER: I believe I was selected because my mother was an abductee. +And I happened to live in the same house with her, and it just fell over to me. + + + SONYA: So there is a chance that it may run in families. Let's find out a +little bit more about that, as we introduce Glynda. + {interviewing} Now, is your story like Joey's?

I basically was abducted in a similar way to Mary, very, very +similar, which is always very surprising to me, because I still want to not +believe it, because it sounds pretty bizarre to me as well. It's a very hard +thing to deal with. And it's continued all my life. + SONYA: Implants? You, too, have had gynecological exams? + GLYNDA: I've had memories of having things put inside me. However, I have +not found them. I don't know what they are. I have a scar across my +{unintelligible}, right across the base of my spine. And I don't know what's +there, but it hurts from time to time. + SONYA: And you've gone to a doctor? + GLYNDA: I've gone to a doctor. I haven't had X-rays done. I'm quite +dubious about all of this, because I find that I'm still resisting. Dr. Mack +can attest to the fact that I've resisted accepting my experiences. + SONYA: Right. Now, you've been to Dr. Mack. + GLYNDA: Yes. + SONYA: And how did he find out about memories and perhaps help you bring +this to the surface? Is that part of the interview process between the two of +you? + GLYNDA: Well, actually, my brother went to Dr. Mack first, because my +brother had a conscious experience four years ago. And during that time, you +know, consciously, he saw four beings by his bed, and it shocked him. + SONYA: So again, it runs in families. Now, did you use hypnosis at all, +or was it used with you to bring- + GLYNDA: It was, but I already had conscious memories. + SONYA: So it just enriched it, brought out more details? + GLYNDA: It's a therapeutic device that is so helpful, because there's a +lot of pent up feelings and emotions, anger, betrayal, abandonment, all these +things that come up because of what these beings have done. And the hypnosis +has helped me to bring it up and out, instead of balling up inside. + SONYA: Now, Dr. Mack, you said that hypnosis is used in how many of these +cases? + Dr. MACK: Well, of the 90 people that I've worked with that fulfilled my +criteria for an authentic abduction experience, I've done hypnosis with 55. +And I want to stress what Glynda is saying, which is that hypnosis- There's +nothing mystical about hypnosis. Hypnosis is simply a way of getting the +person to relax so that they can allow their memories, their feelings, their +experiences to recur. + SONYA: But you don't think it affects their memories in one way or the +other, just allows them to come to the surface? + Dr. MACK: I can't say that it can't, in some experimental situations, that +it doesn't affect their memories, but it fills out what they already have +remembered themselves. And, as Glynda said, it allows them to bring up these +extraordinarily powerful feelings that go along with these very disturbing +experiences. + SONYA: Dr. Spanos is with us today. Nick Spanos is an expert, a +psychologist and expert in hypnosis. And I particularly welcome you today, +because there has been so much that has been said about false memory. You +recognize the false memory syndrome in a lot of the sexual abuse stuff that +was going on in this country. And we found out therapists used hypnosis or a +form of hypnosis to bring it to the fore. So let me ask you this question: +Does the use of hypnosis and its forms change, implant, distort, or just bring +to the surface in richer detail, memories that a person has? + + NICK SPANOS, Ph.D., Hypnosis Expert: Well, hypnotic procedures don't +necessarily simply bring to the surface memories that are there in more detail. + + Hypnotic and non-hypnotic procedures can be used in a way that very +dramatically distorts memories and creates false memories. I don't want to +over-emphasize the role of hypnosis, 'cause Dr. Mack is right. You can get it +all without the hypnosis. The hypnosis is just a vehicle for generating +expectations and legitimating the experiences that people have as memories. I +think that these experiences can be adequately accounted for as false memories. + + These subjects, before they come to Dr. Mack, have usually had a good deal +of exposure to the UFO community and to the popular mythology about UFO's so +that they know what aliens are supposed to look like. They have, oftentimes, +a variety of unexplained experiences, sometimes frightened if they don't +understand. For example, sleep paralysis is a common one. A person is awake +and they suddenly discover that they can't move, they're paralyzed. +Oftentimes, that's associated with visual hallucinations, a powerful sense of +a presence, a feeling of a weight on your chest, sometimes seeing small beings. + + That phenomena is called `sleep paralysis.' It's got nothing to do with +being abducted, and there's a fairly good physiological explanation for what +goes on here. The person is awake, and they see the hallucinationative images +superimposed on the background. It occurs across a variety of cultures, and +different cultures have different explanations for it: ghosts, demons, +witches. One of the explanations people come up with in our culture is, you +know, these are aliens. What people then do with these kinds of experiences, +they undergo a hypnotic procedure and elaborate a full-fledge abduction +scenario- + SONYA: Now, Dr. Mack is already shaking his head `no,' as he listens to +you. And part of that is because you believe that we are very closed in, that +we have a structure in a western culture that, in some ways, we've pulled out +our ability to experience beyond what we can have with our five senses. So I +hear you, without even saying anything, just as I look at you right now, +suggesting that we are the ones who may be misguided, 'cause we don't really +know how to understand other's experiences. + Dr. MACK: Just to speak to the sleep paralysis question, these people are +simply not asleep. I mean, this can occur in a car to a child playing in the +school yard. It doesn't have to do with sleep. But in terms- I think the +point that you're getting at, and which I've thought a great deal is: How do +we know? Doesn't this require that we expand the way we know? I mean, Mr. +Klass will sometimes say, `Well, why don't they bring back a souvenir to prove +that they were'- + SONYA: I would say that. + Dr. MACK: And we would naturally ask that. But isn't it possible that +this is what it is but a mystery that we don't understand? In other words, I +don't have- I first thought like Dr. Spanos and Mr. Klass, this is some +bizarre, strange mental illness thing. But it is not. And it doesn't appear +that there's a distortion going on here, that these people are having these +authentic experiences, which they, themselves doubt. They're not getting the +details in the media. That's not true. They're often very unfamiliar with +matters of UFO's and abductions. They've never even heard of aliens. I did a +regression with somebody in Brazil who didn't know anything about this, and +yet, he had absolutely the same experience of these beings coming into his +room, taking him into a ship, doing the experimentation, just what Glynda and +Mary are describing. So I'm asking: Why not, instead of trying to knock it +back into some pigeon hole that we've already got with proof and I'm here and +you're there, how about looking at the possibility that this will tell us +something we don't know about the universe and about ourselves? + SONYA: And why not do that? Why not all of us be open, for a while, as we +go through this and ask: Is it possible? What do you think? + {Commercial break} + + SONYA: Let's go right to phones. We'll go to Mary in New Jersey. Welcome! + + Hi, Mary! Are you with us? + 3rd CALLER: Hello? + SONYA: Yes, go ahead. + 3rd CALLER: I believe she really sincerely believes what she's saying, but +I wonder if she couldn't be a pathological liar, because, I had a cousin who +was that, and he told us in detail how he escaped from a Nazi prison in World +War II. He dug a tunnel. It caved in. He injured his back. The more we +questioned him, the more detail he came up with. And he really sincerely +believed what he was saying. And another thing, when Sonya suggested that she +may have extra terrestrial children somewhere, right away, she said, `Oh, yes, +I have three that I know of.' It seems like- She sounds just like my cousin, +and that's why I'm wondering if- + SONYA: Well, let's ask Dr. Mack. + That's a really good question. I mean, is it possible that you two are +part of a folie a deux? I mean, is it partly that they're not hypnotized but +you are? That you are obsessed with this area? A possibility? + Dr. MACK: No. I doubted these individuals myself when I first heard about +it. I couldn't believe it. It doesn't make any sense. + It doesn't fit our world here. It can't be. + SONYA: Listen, Dr. Mack. When I tell somebody a story, there are little +places where I might exaggerate. I'm human. There may be a little way I'd +bend it to fit my own personal agenda. There is, I feel, kind of an +uncritical acceptance that you do portray here. + Dr. MACK: No. I mean, I doubted myself about this. I look at her. I try +to look at the data. I question these people. I try to play the devil's +advocate with them. But they're very solid people. We had- They come forth +very reluctantly. They don't want to believe their stories either. There's a +man who's supposed to be on the program today. I went to the airport to meet +him, and he wasn't there because he has a management contract, and his partner +was told by the insurance company the contract is with, `If you go on with +these strange stories, we're going to break the contract.' And this is- It +takes a lot of courage for people like Glynda and Mary to come forward. And +the idea that these 90 people- I would put my reputation on the line. They +are not pathological- + SONYA: You have put your reputation on the line. + Dr. MACK: No. I mean, I'm talking about the question of them being +pathological liars. Whatever it is, they are not lying; they're telling the +truth. + GLYNDA: I have an established career in the defense industry. This is not +benefiting my career to go on national television and talk about something +that's a lie. This is very difficult for me to do. I'm risking my reputation, +which I've worked very hard to build. This is not something that's +beneficial to me. + SONYA: Actually, you were going to come on in shadow, and {you} changed +your mind. I mean, the fact that you're here with us today- + GLYNDA: Well, I wasn't going to come on at all. I mean, I really have a +hard time with this. But, at the same time, I feel like this has happened to +me, and if I can be brave at one point in my life, it would be to try to help +other people who this has happened to, 'cause I know that it has altered my +life drastically. + SONYA: I'm going to ask you more about that in a moment. Let's go to +George in Ontario. Welcome, George! + 4th CALLER: {Ontario} Hi, there! + SONYA: Yes. + 4th CALLER: I wanted to say that these ladies, I agree with them, and I +commend them for their courage, because I know exactly, in many ways, what +they're going through. My brother and I both had an encounter when we were +young. This is one of two encounters that I've had. And we were both in +separate bedrooms. We both woke up basically at the same time, walked into +our hallway, completely stunned at each other. And I looked at him, and I +said, `What are you doing here?' He said, `I don't know.' + `How long have you been here?' + `Oh, maybe about five ten seconds before you got here.' + Next thing you know, we looked down into the living room, and there were +two alien life forms in our living room over there. They were about three feet +tall, and yes, it may sound strange and corny, but, yes, they were green in +color. And we weren't scared, and they weren't scared about us. And we both +heard, by telepathy, at the same time- + SONYA: Did you have experiments- + 4th CALLER: Pardon me? + SONYA: Were you used for experimentation? + 4th CALLER: We don't know, even to this day. They very simply told us not +to be afraid, `We're not going to hurt you.' + SONYA: And yet, everybody seems to get hurt in some way. + Dr. Mack, I'm not sure that I understand how this can be benevolent on the +one hand. We hear- I mean, these are frightening entities. People are being +abused. I mean, let's call it what it is: abused sexually. + Dr. MACK: This is the most disturbing part, and it is highly traumatic. I +mean, it's traumatic in several ways. The experiences themselves are +traumatic. The fact that people feel so isolated they can't talk in this +culture about it because they'll be ridiculed is another trauma. + SONYA: Why don't they come to you? You're so sympathetic. + Dr. MACK: Why do they come to me? + SONYA: Why don't they? + Dr. MACK: Who? + SONYA: I would expect that you would have the experience with entities. +After all, by telepathy, all of these people could say, `You want to get to +the guy who could really make this legit and be helpful? Here he is!' + Dr. MACK: Well, I mean, there are mysteries and mysteries. I don't have +any idea why these beings or whatever they are, this intelligence, I don't +even know what to call it. I don't know why they don't make themselves +manifest. I think, maybe, because we would shoot at them. I'm not quite sure. + + + SONYA: But you wouldn't do that. + Dr. MACK: No, I wouldn't. And they seem to be- My role seems to be to +play some kind of bridging, helping role for the people that have had these +experiences. + SONYA: You're married. Does your wife believe in this with you? + Dr. MACK: She's been very supportive about it. Yeah, I mean- And I've had +a lot of support. I mean, you mentioned about Harvard. I mean, a lot of +people are doubting, wondering why am I doing this. But there's something, I +think, that's truthful about this and valuable. + SONYA: Dr. Spanos, are you a believer yet? + Dr. SPANOS: I think, as I said before, that these experiences can be +explained as false memories. I think that you certainly can explain all of +them as simply lying. But you can take subjects with or without hypnosis, +generate a set of expectations concerning memories that these people are +supposed to have, regress them back, and people will generate memories that +are completely made up that are suggested before the hypnosis or other imagery +procedures begins, and they'll believe that these are real memories, things +that actually happened to them, when, in fact, they're not. So people can, in +fact, very profoundly believe in fantasies and treat those fantasies as real +memories. If validated as such by Dr. Mack or some other professional, then +that will reinforce that belief. If they join UFO support groups, which these +people do do, and other people share similar experiences, that further +validates the experience. And, again, despite what Dr. Mack says, these +people don't know about UFO's-- In fact, in his book, the people who come to +him have had a good deal of experience in the UFO, that I've seen. + SONYA: So what would be the purpose of all this: People coming forward, a +Harvard professor who says that, `I validate that this is going on. At least +we should try to look at it'? I'm going to try to find out the answer to that +question when we continue. + {Commercial break} + + SONYA: Dr. Mack, I'll tell you what I find disturbing, 'cause I feel you +need to know. And it is that there's like a new elite that's going up around +you. Whether it's 700,000 or 7 million, these become the chosen people. And, +in some ways, it starts a power structure of who gets to go beyond, who the +extra terrestrials want. There's a lot of that that doesn't make any sense. +I mean, why don't they want President Clinton? Why don't they want you? Why +don't they come to me? I'm open. I don't have an agenda. + Dr. MACK: They do take some quite high ranking people. There's some +business executives- + SONYA: But we'll never know, 'cause they won't come forward, right? + Dr. MACK: They're reluctant to come forward because their careers are +threatened by this. + SONYA: So how do you know about them? + Dr. MACK: Because I have, in this network of people- + SONYA: Do you see where I'm going? That makes you at the center of a +power structure, a demagog. + Dr. MACK: One of the reasons that I wrote this book is so this would not +be an elite, isolated, private situation. We could have an open dialogue. +For example, I just want to say something about false memory. I don't think +that applies here, because false memory occurs when there's not even a vague +memory of abuse, and say a therapist jumps on it, and you know, reinforces it, +or- + SONYA: Not necessarily. + Dr. MACK: But it doesn't apply where you have matters that are of core +importance, deeply traumatic matters that the person remembers with powerful +detail. I don't believe the false memory explanation works there. + Let's go back to your other question. + SONYA: Let's leave that aside, because I have to tell you, these people +can walk through walls, and yet, they use typical gynecological procedures in +order to take an egg. Give me a break! + They could certainly walk through a wall, put a hand through a stomach, take +an egg out another way. They don't need to do that. It's just amazing to me. + Dr. MACK: I agree with you, it makes no sense in this reality. + SONYA: But even in your reality, it makes no sense. + Dr. MACK: In the reality I was raised in, it makes no sense. I can't +explain it. To me, it's a mystery. There are inconsistencies. If you look +at alien behavior from the standpoint of our logic- + SONYA: For what end are you putting your credentials, your Pulitzer, your +Harvard degree, your colleagues, the science of medicine and psychiatry on the +line like this? + Dr. MACK: `Cause there's something truthful that this several hundred +thousand million people are telling. I don't understand that I think can +expand us to some- + SONYA: How? Go to the next step. + Dr. MACK: Because it can tell us that there are other intelligences that +we can't fathom, that is an authentic mystery that we might grow to- + SONYA: For what purpose? + Dr. MACK: I don't know the purpose of this. It has something to do with +opening up our consciousness, perhaps, creating some new form of evolution. I +don't know, but I do- + SONYA: Do these people become politically active? Do they become +ecologically minded? + Dr. MACK: Many do, yes. + SONYA: Do they take on something- I mean, is the entity saying to them, +`Save yourself. Save the world. You're near the end'? + Dr. MACK: That's possible, but what I'm interested in is documented. Many +of them do have very strong information that comes to them on the ships +telepathically on monitors about the fate of the earth and the destructiveness +that we are. + SONYA: You want me to have an open mind, is that right? You want me to +have an open mind. You do. + Dr. MACK: That would be a good idea, yeah. + SONYA: Do you have one? Do you have one that you may be a part of +perpetrating a fraud? + Dr. MACK: I find these people that they believe their experiences. They +are authentic. They're intelligent. They're telling the truth. + SONYA: I don't deny that. I'm asking you. + Dr. MACK: I'm reporting what they experience. I'm not claiming anything +about this. I'm not saying that I know what this is. I'm saying, Let's look +at it. These are authentic people who are oppressed in the culture. I'm +saying, Let's open ourselves and let's examine it. I say, anybody can come +into the consulting room, hear what these people are saying, examine them +independently of me and see what they come up with. I've brought several +psychiatrists who have come in. When they worked with these individuals, I'm +not even involved, they say, `There's something going on here. I don't +understand,' and then maybe we'll begin to see these people themselves. + SONYA: It is a puzzlement, and we leave it to your colleagues to help with +that second opinion. I thank you all for being with us today. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

FILE: UFO2240 + + + + + +Thanks to a ParaNet contributor for supplying this article, and thanks to Time +also. + +BEHAVIOR + +THE MAN FROM OUTER SPACE + +Harvard psychiatrist John Mack claims that tales of UFO abductions are real. +But experts and former patients say his research is shoddy. + +BY JAMES WILLWERTH/BOSTON + + The young man had slowly become aware of his enigmatic memories, of +otherworldly beings lurking in his life, of ''strange coincidences'' and time +out of joint. What was happening? Who could tell him? Casting about for help, +says the boyish Pennsylvania health-care worker, ''I saw this article in the +newspaper about Dr. Mack. And I thought if you can't trust a Harvard +professor, who can you trust?'' + + John Mack is more than a Harvard professor; he is a respected author (his +book on T.E. Lawrence, A Prince of Our Disorder, won the Pulitzer Prize in +1977), a psychiatrist who helped found the clinical psychiatry department at +Cambridge Hospital and a noted scientific advocate of environmental and +antiwar causes. Under Mack's hypnotic guidance, the young man ''remembered'' +being abducted repeatedly by aliens, taken to a spaceship and having a probe +inserted in his anus. He also recalled past lives, including one as a young +Indian warrior called Panther-by-the-Creek, who died in battle. Even more +astonishing, Mack believed every word. + + The story of ''Dave Reynolds'' is one of 13 recounted by Mack in his new +book Abduction (Scribners), the result of his study of scores of +''experiencers,'' people who he believes have come in contact with +extraterrestrial visitors. The striking similarity of their memories and +Mack's academic reputation have led UFO believers to proclaim Abduction as +the most important step yet in scientifically validating abduction +experiences. A 1991 Roper poll found that 4 million people have had at least +some abduction-related experiences, such as seeing unusual lights or missing +time. ''Until John came along, there wasn't enough credibility for this +subject to support a methodological investigation,'' says Caroline McLeod, +Mack's research chief. ''Until now, if you decided to research alien +abductions, you risked being pigeonholed as a lunatic.'' + + Psychologists and ethicists do not question Mack's sanity so much as his +motives and methodology. They charge that he is misusing the techniques of +hypnosis, trying to shape the ''memories'' of his subjects to suit his vision +of an intergalactic future, and very possibly endangering the emotional +health of his patients in the process. ''If this were just an example of some +zany new outer limit of how foolish psychology and psychiatry can be in the +wrong hands, we'd look at it, roll our eyes and walk away,'' says University +of California, Berkeley, psychologist Richard Ofshe. ''But the use of his +techniques in counseling is substantially harming lots of people.'' + + The scientific skepticism is bolstered by some unusual firsthand evidence. +One of Mack's ''experiencers'' has revealed to TIME that she was actually an +undercover debunker who worked her way into Mack's confidence and rose high +in the ranks of his subjects. She found that Mack's work was riddled with +scientific irregularities; it lacked a formal research protocol as well as +legally required consent forms that advise research subjects of potential +risks. She also discovered that Mack billed the insurance companies of at +least some patient-subjects for what he described as therapy sessions. + + Mack says he expected the disbelief that has greeted the bizarre tales +recounted in his book. ''This isn't supposed to be,'' he explained to TIME. +''You aren't supposed to have little guys with big black eyes taking men, +women and children against their wills on beams of light through walls and +windows into strange craft and have this going on all over the country.'' But +after hearing dozens of such stories, Mack concluded that the abductions were +real. Moreover, he discerned a motive behind them: the abductors, it seems, +were implanting mind-to-mind messages urging better care of the planet. The +aliens' apparent objective was an intergalactic breeding program combined +with a brotherly warning of impending doom if the earth doesn't change its +warlike and ecologically wasteful ways. + + Mack's studies are largely funded by a tax-exempt, nonprofit research +organization that he founded in 1983, now called the Center for Psychology +and Social Change. With headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the center +was started as an attempt to study the nuclear arms race in psychological +terms. After the cold war ended, the organization started raising money for +scholars who want to combine psychology with such topics as ecology and +ethnic conflicts. Explains the center's executive director, Vivienne Simon: +''One of our main goals is to challenge current scientific method, which is +to deny all things you cannot reduce to statistics.'' + + Donna Bassett's story seemed to fit right in with that goal. Bassett, 37, +then a Boston-based writer and researcher, became interested in Mack's +studies after hearing complaints that he was ''strip mining'' the stories of +emotionally distraught people and failing to help them with follow-up +therapy. After reading stacks of books and articles on UFO abductions, +Bassett made up an elaborate story of otherworldly encounters involving her +family, going back to the 11th century. Her great-grandmother, she said, saw +''little people,'' whom she called angels from God. Bassett herself saw +''balls of light'' around her house at age five. She also said that as a +child she had a space-alien friend named Jane, who healed her hands after a +neighbor stuck them in boiling fudge to punish her for snooping. + + Bassett participated in three hypnotic-regression sessions (she says she +used method-acting techniques to fake her way through them) and eventually +served as treasurer of an abductee support group that Mack organized and ran. +''I've never seen a UFO in my life,'' Bassett says, ''and I certainly haven't +been inside one.'' + + Bassett, who made extensive tapes and notes of her life in the UFO cult, +says Mack provided her with UFO literature to read prior to her sessions -- a +practice that medical hypnotists say will almost surely influence hypnotic +revelations. During the sessions, which Mack held in a darkened bedroom in +his house rather than in a neutral office, he asked leading questions that +reflected his biases. ''John made it obvious what he wanted to hear,'' says +Bassett. ''I provided the answers.'' Among other recollections, she told of +an encounter with John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev on board a spaceship +during the Cuban missile crisis. Bassett said Khrushchev was crying and that +''I sat in his lap, and I put my arms around his neck, and I told him it +would be O.K.'' Hearing her tale, Mack became so excited that he leaned on +the bed too heavily, and it collapsed. + + Later, at a support-group session, Bassett confronted Mack about mixing +research and therapy. According to Bassett, Mack billed insurance companies +for some support-group sessions, claiming they were ''therapeutic'' rather +than ''research.'' Yet some members of the support group complained about the +lack of therapy following their traumatic hypnosis sessions. ''That I can't +do everything that each person needs does not mean that what I'm doing is not +therapeutic,'' Mack said. ''There are too many of you, and I'm also doing +research.'' + + Bassett's account is supported by others who had close encounters with Mack. +''He had a hidden agenda,'' says Dave Duclos, who left the experiment when he +became disenchanted. ''He was against anybody who said anything negative +about the aliens. Once he said to me, 'If you think the aliens are bad, Mr. +Duclos, keep thinking about it until you realize they are good.' '' + + But what of the surprising consistency of the stories Mack elicited? ''Dr. +Mack is ignoring the high level of suggestion and imagery that surrounds the +way in which he deals with these people,'' says Fred Frankel, 70, a Harvard +Medical School professor and psychiatrist in chief at Boston's Beth Israel +hospital. ''Hypnosis helps you regain memories that you would not have +otherwise recalled . . . But some will be true, and some will be false. The +expectation of the hypnotist and the expectation of the person who is going +to be hypnotized can influence the result.'' + + To many experts, the abduction scenarios bear a striking resemblance to +stories of satanic rituals and child abuse -- stories that can be shaped by +all sorts of outside influences, from movies and TV shows to the suggestive +questioning of a therapist. Says Ofshe, who is an expert in hypnosis: ''If +you convince someone they've been brutalized and raped, and you encourage +them to fully experience the emotions appropriate for this event -- and the +event never happened -- you've led them through an experience of pain that is +utterly gratuitous.'' + + Confronted by TIME with the news that Bassett had faked her abduction +experience, Mack declined to discuss her case, though he hinted that he had +doubts about her reliability. (Hers is not among the 13 case histories +recounted in his book, but tapes of her sessions leave little doubt that Mack +took her seriously.) In general, he insists, there is no evidence that the +core memories he elicited are distorted. ''When ((the subjects)) talk about +this -- and other people in the room with me have witnessed this, including +several psychiatrists -- the experience is that of a person who has been +through something deeply disturbing.'' While acknowledging that he is not +''an expert on hypnosis,'' Mack scoffs at the debunkers. ''The attacks on +hypnosis didn't begin until it began to reveal information that the culture +didn't want to hear.'' + + Mack's view of the UFO phenomenon reflects a larger philosophical stance +that rejects ''rational'' scientific explanations and embraces a hazier New +Age reality. ''I don't know why there's such a zeal to find a conventional +physical explanation,'' he says. ''I don't know why people have such trouble +simply accepting the fact that something unusual is going on here . . . We +have lost the faculties to know other realities that other cultures still can +know. The world no longer has spirit, has soul, is sacred.

In the subsequent +13 years, a mystery has loomed . . . a mile-long, 1500-ft high +humanoid "face" discovered in a northern Martian desert called +"Cydonia." Initially dismissed by NASA as "a trick of light and +shadow," new analysis presented here reveals a far more complex +situation, and a far more significant conclusion: + + The "face" and its surrounding "enigmatic landforms" appear +to be a carefully layed out, highly-sophisticated, redundantly +encoded "mathematical and geometric CETI message" on the Martian +landscape -- in the tradition of century-old proposals by Gauss, +Lockyer, et al.. + + This paper presents the evidence whereby the authors have +reached this "radical conclusion." We -- one of us a former NASA +consultant, the other a geomorphologist -- detail the extensive +geodedic and mathematical analysis of "the Face" we have +conducted over the past several years: specifically, its +geometric relationship to other, equally enigmatic objects in the +immediate vicinity. This evidence includes multiple appearances +of two specific mathematical constants: "e" and "pi," derived by +angular measurement of the placement of key morphological objects +around the "face" and the discovery of redundant angles and +derived constants from that placement. We have also discovered +the two constants -- "e" and "pi" -- "coded" in the geodedic +siting latitude of the "complex" on the planet. + + It is this multiple, diversified, but converging geodedic, +geometric and mathematical evidence that, in the authors' +opinion, now robustly supports the "radical conclusion" presented +above. + + The geometry and mathematical constants we have discovered +at Cydonia appear to be a highly-specific communication of +"embedded tetrahedral geometry." It's apparent purpose: the +geometric +____________________________________________________________________ + + * The Mars Mission: Box 981, Wytheville, VA 24382 + @ The Defense Mapping Agency: McLean, VA 22102 + + -2- + + +prediction of a specific geodedic latitude -- 19.5 degrees N. and +S. -- resulting from the location of the vertices of a +"circumscribed tetrahedran" rotated inside a planetary or stellar +sphere. This conclusion is reinforced by the geomorphological +observation of a major "tetrahedral pyramid" at Cydonia -- +connected geometrically (by a 19.5-degree angle offset to the +local geodedic meridian) to equally obvious morphological +representations of "spheres" at Cydonia itself. + + The purpose of all this appears to be to direct attention +towards "something occurring at these two specific planetary +latitudes." When examined by the authors, using published +geodedic planetary maps from NASA and U.S Geological Survey +sources, these latitudes are observed to be associated with a +hitherto unknown planetary and stellar energy phenomenon -- +blatantly emerging at these specific latitudes -- on astronomical +objects all across the solar system, including the Sun. Further, +the appearance of these "energy outpourings" seems to be +modulated by the polarity of the planetary (or stellar) magnetic +dipole moment -- raising, in the author's minds, the possibility +that the "message" is attempting to direct us to a verifiable +astrophysical manifestation of a basic, "unified field," +connecting planetary angular momentum, gravity, and +electromagnetism with surface energy release. + + The possibility that "the message" is directing us to, not +merely energy transfer but energy generation, is also considered +in this paper. Several convergent observations of the outer +planets, most recently from Voyager 2, are presented to buttress +our contention that we may be looking at a new astrophysically- +significant form of energy. Evidence is also presented that some +manifestations of this energy may be altering the local +"gravitational space-time metric" -- consistant with current +theoretical interpretations of tetrahedral mathematics by +specialists, as "representative of higher-dimensional n-spaces." + + The implications of these "real world" geophysical +manifestations of "unified field tetrahedral mathematics" -- +specific, localized energy release on planetary surfaces, +apparently unrecognized until the "Cydonia tetrahedral +mathematics" were decoded by the authors -- are profound: ranging +from a possible breakthrough in the centuries-long search for a +Unified Field Theory connecting the four elemental forces of +Nature; to possible technological applications of this knowledge +-- including a new energy source, and possibly, ultimate control +of gravity itself. + + We conclude by urging immediate verification of the "Cydonia +Message," via the 1992 unmanned Mars Observer spacecraft, as well +as detailed follow-up to our preliminary work presented here. + + (PAPER TO BE UPLOADED SHORTLY....) + + END + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

English + UFINET News and Information Service + +INTRODUCTION: + + For many years, UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects and +their research have been classed among the fringe elements of our +society. Looked upon as being somewhat of a cult and most +certainly inhabited by screwballs and nut-cases. + Those who have had Abduction experiences suffer trauma not +only from the experience, which in many cases is not remembered +on a conscious level, but also from the trauma of being ridiculed +by their peers. + To often, the circumstances surrounding a legitimate +Abduction case are clouded with extraneous issues that seem to +complicate the initial issue of abduction by a possible Alien +life form. Additionally the very nature of those issues often +cloud the judgement of even the most experienced investigator of +the UFO Phenomenon. This is due largely in part because of the +Investigator's desire to find empirical evidence to support the +existence of UFOs. + As a result of this, over the past twenty years the majority +of UFO Investigators have totally ignored another, and perhaps +most important aspect of UFOlogy. The possible connection of +Paranormal experiences to UFO abductions. + Over the years we have equated Paranormal Activities, such +as channeling, psycho-kinetics, manifestations of odd noises, +telepathy, and a host of other things associated with it, as +being totally separate from UFO Investigations. However a recent +review of files and information for the past twenty years has +shown a possible connection between the two. + Most notably this connection seems to be associated with the +Abduction Phenomenon as shown by Doctor Leo Sprinkle in his work +as early as 1963. + + In an article written by Dr. Sprinkle which appeared in +"Psychotherapy in Private Practice" Vol.6(3) 1988, he had this to +say; + ".......in our contemporary society, those persons who +describe paranormal/psychic/spiritual crises, or emotional trauma +from memories of possible past lives, often are faced with +scoffing or skeptical reactions -- not only from their friends +and relatives, but sometimes from professional persons, including +psychotherapists. + And, if a person describes a UFO experience (including +abduction by alien beings, out of body experience, near death +experience, bodily marks from a medical examination, genital +examination, past life memories, planetary visions, automatic +writing or telepathic communication, and a message or mission for +Humankind, etc.), then the psychological resistance of the +psychotherapist, as well as the emotional trauma of the person, +can be an important factor -- not only in the process of +psychotherapy, but in the questions of whether services are +provided to that person! + The complex and controversial claims of UFO +abductees/contactees are a background for the general question: +Based on the processes of psychotherapy, what do we know about +UFO experiences?" + + In a recent conversation with Dr.Sprinkle I asked him if +paranormal activity was common among those people who may have +had possible contact with UFOs, and if so why hadn't we heard +more about this..? + + Dr. Sprinkle's reply was surprising as he went on to say, +"Yes, it is extremely common. In fact I have been researching the +Paranormal question since 1963 and was asked by the Lorenzens +(Jim and Coral Lorenzen of APRO) to write a chapter for a book +they were writing in the mid 70's that dealt with this very +issue." + + Interestingly enough, Dr. Sprinkle, for many years seemed to +be the only professional Psychologist who even adhered to the +idea that UFOs were possibly real. Having established a +reputation in his field for his regressive hypnosis sessions with +several of the more modern day abduction reports Dr. Sprinkle has +become the foremost authority on the subject of Abductions. + + In the same article he went on to express several tentative +viewpoints: + + 1.) I believe that `flying saucers' (UFOs) exist. + + 2.) I believe that I cannot prove to anyone that UFOs exist. + + 3.) I believe that UFO research is always frustrating, often + fearful, sometimes fun. + + 4.) I believe that psychotherapeutic services and social + support for UFO Experiencers are helpful to them in + accepting the reality of these experiences and in + understanding of the silliness and the significance of these + experiences. + + 5.) I believe that there are many skills that can be useful + to the psychotherapist who works with UFO Experiencers, but + the main attributes are courage, curiosity, and compassion. + + 6.) I appreciate the willingness of UFO Experiencers to + share their information, and the willingness of professional + colleagues to assist UFO Experiencers. + + Perhaps, someday, UFO research can lead to results which + could test the hypothesis that UFO activity is an + educational program. + This last remark seemed somewhat new age'ish on the Good +Doctor's part, but in light of the recent revelation of a few +years ago that he himself had apparently been abducted as a +child, it is understandable. + +PART TWO + + + In some cases we as investigators have to ask the question +concerning the types of encounters that many abductees +experience. In so doing the questions will elicit some type of +answer or reaction. Bearing in mind it is often difficult for the +investigator, or for that matter, the psychotherapist to either +understand or accept the answers they are given. + This comes not from a desire to deny the subject's +experiences, but more form the point of view, that it is +difficult for the Investigator/Psychotherapist to accept the +answer. In many cases the subject will present an answer +unacceptable to the Investigator/Psychotherapist. This seems to +be the case with regard to paranormal activity which may +accompany such an encounter. + Throughout the several years Dr. Sprinkle has devoted his +efforts to finding the answers to this phenomenon, he has put +forth the following hypothesis: + +Thesis 1. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that +many UFO witnesses have experienced encounters with space craft +that are piloted or controlled by intelligent alien beings (e.g., +Hynek, 1972;Jacobs, 1975; Randles, 1983; Rutledge, 1981; Smith, +1987). + +Thesis 2. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that +many UFO witnesses have experienced abductions and examination by +UFO occupants, including bodily, psychological, and/or sexual +examinations (e.g., Fowler, 1979, 1982; Fuller, 1966; Hopkins, +1981, 1987; Lorenzen & Lorenzen, 1967, 1976, 1977; Sprinkle, +1979, 1981; Strieber, 1987). + +Thesis 3. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that +most UFO witnesses are normal in their psychological functioning +(e.g., Bloecher, Clamar, & Hopkins, 1985; Keul & Phillips, 1986; +Parnell, 1987; Schwarz, 1983; Sprinkle, 1976b, 1979a). + +Thesis 4. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis the +psychic phenomena, including "channeled" communications, are +associated with UFO encounters; further, there is emerging +evidence that UFO contactees view themselves as changing from +"planetary persons" to "cosmic citizens" (e.g., Davis, 1985; +Kannenberg, 1982, 1986; Kinder, 1987; Montgomery, 1985; Puharich, +1974; Sprinkle, 1981; Steiger & Steiger, 1981). + Remembering the previously mentioned hypothesis, let us +review certain facts; + + "In a majority of cases the contactees/victims are initially +unaware of their contact experience on a conscious level. They +have subliminated their experiences to a subconscious level." + + We know this is possible due to findings from victims of +childhood sexual assaults and in many cases rape victims, and in +some cases, victims of violent crime or accidents. As an act of +mental self-defense, the incident or incidents are forcefully +forgotten, either through external influences (i.e., programming +on the part of the abductors) or through the psychological +processes that come into play to create a mental feeling of +security. + + "Awareness of the contact experience can, and often times +remains dormant until such time as an incident/phase/word or +experience triggers the memory, and starts the process of +bringing the memory to the conscious level." + + At this point we now begin to see the manifestation of +paranormal activity. In many cases the contactee/victim begins to +feel a feeling of un-rightness, i.e., unexplainable fear, +paranoia, panic attacks etc. . .. In other cases the paranormal +activity will manifest itself in other ways, such as; + +Psycho-kinetic Activity (Poltergeist) + +Manifestation of visual phenomena (Green fireballs, visions of +ghost, physical assaults upon the victim or members of the +victims household.) + +The hearing of ghostly high pitched voices, screaming warnings +that only the victim can hear. + +Telepathy and premonitions. + + At the same time we must enquire as to the validity of these +manifestations. A case in point... + + A college educated male, approximately 30 years of age +recalled a series of paranormal incidents that began at the age +of twenty years and resulted ultimately in the discovery that he +was in fact an abductee at the age of four years. + + ".....I was twenty. I was living in Jamestown, California at +the time with three other young people in an old house outside of +town. One night I returned to my bedroom after getting up to use +the bathroom. I turned off the light, got in my bed and laid on +my left side. As soon as I laid down I "knew" there was something +in the room with me. I could "feel" it thinking. I immediately +became aware of something moving to me from across the room and +it stood on the foam pad right in front of my face and made a +depression there that my hands, which were up by my face started +to roll into. Then suddenly there was a weight on top of my body +that pushed me down through the support of my pad into the floor +and held me there paralysed. There also was a load sound in my +upturned right ear which sounded as though something were yelling +or shouting or exhaling right against my ear. It was one long +sound though there was no variation in timbre, frequency, or +pitch and it continued for the entire time that I could not +move." + He went on to say that he slept for a year or two +afterwards with a light on in his room or shining into his room +from another room. + + He continued. "....a few days before I moved out of that +place in fear of whatever it was that happened, I was watching +T.V. in the living room in broad daylight when I felt as if +something were touching the insides of my thighs, like there was +something invisible trying to push them apart. I now do not +believe that there was actually something there at the moment, +but that it was a strong subliminal memory of having been touched +there. Also when I was moving back down to college I had a +similar sensation across my upper abdomen while I was driving a +car. That wasn't the end of my experiences. It followed me to +where I moved and ten months later I had a UFO sighting over +Modesto, California at very close range. Which by the way I +didn't associate with my prior experiences. There was also a +vivid "dream" I had where something had gone into my +consciousness, made me feel euphoric, and made my life pass +before my eyes while they re-experienced it with me as if they +were looking for something (This was also associated with a +sighting in the dream) They also did something to the back of my +head. The memory of these things persisted in bothering me for +years. At the time I moved away from the rural areas thinking +that these things would stop. I didn't know what was happening to +me. I began having panic attacks after the one experience in +Jamestown and I had never had them before. All of this was quite +unsettling and I couldn't figure out why when I was having one of +the best times of my life that something so strange would start +plaguing me." + + The incidents that happened to this subject are most +certainly of a paranormal nature, and fall classically into that +category. However, let us examine several possibilities we as UFO +investigators seem to overlook. + + As of yet, science has not been able to adequately explain +the cause of Paranormal activity. Science has defined paranormal +activity as something laying outside of the realm of the normal +acceptable standards that have been established for human +behavior. Yet at the same time they are just now, within the last +one hundred years, beginning to define that human behavior and +the accompanying dysfunctions inherent in it. + For the most part, the activity that seems to accompany a +Contactee/victim is of a paranormal nature as clearly defined by +Dr. Sprinkle in his fourth hypothesis, However in recent years it +has also become apparent the term paranormal activity, can +encompass several other things as well as the afore mentioned +items. + + Let us as investigators, for the moment ignore the +paranormal aspects of such encounters and look at other possible +explanations using the above example. + + Several years after the paranormal experiences related +above, the subject was hypnotically regressed by Kathy +McCampbell, daughter of Mr. James McCampbell, and it was +discovered that as a child of four years of age he in fact was +abducted. The following is his recollection of the abduction +experience. + + "I was with the group of girls (his mother was a Girl Scout +Leader) and then I remember being away from them, then I became +very dizzy, I remember being carried then seeing something come +down from above the tree line. I was handed up into something (it +was on the ground) it looked round and silver kind of like a +diving bell and was not that large. I opened my eyes, there were +three of them on either side of me looking down at me. The next I +know is that I'm sitting up but I am leaning against one of them +who is at my side. He is holding something on top and at the back +of my head." + + As it can be seen, there seems to be a similarity between +the abduction encounter and the paranormal incidents previously +related. + Examining it more closely, the initial paranormal incident +where the subject felt the presence of something in the room and +then felt the pressure on top of him and the loud noise in his +ear has at least one explanation, that being that the subject for +some reason had a subconscious memory triggered and then relived +a portion of the initial abduction experience. The reliving of +the experience seemed so real at the time it is difficult if not +impossible for the subject to separate the reality from the +illusion. Therefore the subject believes that the paranormal +incident did in fact take place. Further evidence of this is +during the second paranormal encounter the subject felt something +touching the inside of his thighs, and then during the third +incident, something touching his upper torso. During the +following two incidents however, he admitted to having more of a +feeling that it was a memory rather than a real experience. Like +so many other victims of sexual assault and violent crime, he +began to remember the incidents in a way that would allow his +mental well being to stay intact, while at the same time +gradually learning to cope with the incident. + This is a rather simplistic explanation, however it does not +answer all of the questions that arise when dealing with +paranormal activity, and it most certainly does not answer the +questions concerning the validity of such activity. + + It is at this point that we as investigators and members of +the psychological and mental health professions begin to enter +into extremely dangerous territory. `Is paranormal activity +real?' + There is evidence to indicate that some paranormal activity +is real. Such things as ghost, poltergeist etc. . .. As for the +other things that seem to be more commonly associated with UFO +encounters, it is difficult to say on a more logical level. +In most cases the evidence seems to be self perpetuating in that +over the years unrelated cases have been investigated that show +striking similarities. These similarities are easily explained by +some, yet there is always the hidden fact that is kept hidden by +most good investigators in order that they may have a control +factor in which to gauge the validity of other cases. + In short, this is an area and a decision which lays entirely +in the hands of the psychotherapist and the UFOlogist. It is +their own personal beliefs which must decide whether or not they +believe in the paranormal aspects involved with this phenomenon. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +PART THREE + + Assuming for the moment paranormal activity is in fact real +in some form or another, let us examine further it's relationship +with the UFO/Abductee/Contactee Phenomena. + + In most cases paranormal activity and abilities are existent +to some degree in all of us. Whether it be the ability to look +briefly into the future (DejaVu), to detect the loss of a loved +one before being told, telepathy (such as in twins), psycho- +kinesis, etc. . .. However, these abilities lay dormant until +something, either an event or a memory, triggers the ability. In +many cases this particular event is the result of a trauma, or +for that matter, the incident that is triggered was a trauma in +itself. + One particular point that we must remember is the human mind +and brain is the most complex and even today unknown aspect of +the Human-being. We can chart the Brain, and even have a fair +idea as to what each particular area within the brain will +control. But! We are unable to delve deeper into it to look at +the area most commonly referred to as the soul. That part which +makes up our personalities, our abilities to think and discern +information. Control emotions, or for that matter, what creates +those emotions which separate us from the lower orders of the +animal kingdom. In short, we don't fully know what exactly the +abilities are within the human animal. + An interesting point which should be considered is, most +biologist will tell you the brain capacity of the lower orders of +the animal kingdom reflect the full mental ability of those +animals, barring mental retardation or defects. Yet a human +brain, followed by the dolphin, is one of the largest, if not the +largest brain within the mammalian chain. And we do not use it to +it's fullest capacity. This is odd since development on an +evolutionary scale theoretically says all life forms physically +develop to their fullest capabilities. If this holds true, then +why hasn't humankind? Or is there the possibility that we did, +and then through some cataclysmic occurrences we lost those +abilities..? + Having set the stage somewhat, and seeing that the human +brain or the human animal is capable of far more than many of us +give credit to it, lets us now examine closely the relationship +between Paranormal Activity and UFO contacts. + + Accepting the possibilities previously stated, we as human- +beings have created in our minds and in our a world a certain +amount of stability based upon what we consider to be +incontrovertible facts. But I now ask the question; "What if +those facts we have established are found to be falsehoods?" This +creates an interesting dilemma....How would we cope with such a +revelation? I present the following theory for your +consideration... + + + +Theorem.... + + Throughout the span of recorded history, the human animal +has given basic and simple explanations to those things we are +incapable of understanding. We have placed these strange +occurrences into categories we are comfortable with. Such things +as Religion to explain celestial beings (angels), and beings +horrible and evil (demons). Those things defying our ability to +explain technologically or logically became things of magic and +Witchcraft. As humankind progressed through the sciences and +technology, what was once within the realm of religion and magic +went into the realm of science and logic, and this is where our +development stands. + Suddenly there comes into our existence something which +cannot be placed within the normal classifications we have +established for ourselves. Since we no longer for the most part +believe in magic, we attempt to place it within the realm of +science. Yet when we are unable to give logical explanations +through science, it then falls within the realm of magic, or the +paranormal, which falls outside of both magic and the sciences. +It is at this point the primal instincts of the human animal come +into play, and at the same time something even more astounding. +The human brain's ability to protect itself from something that +does not compute or work within it's ability to assimilate. +Unlike a computer however, it reprograms itself to continue +functioning on a relatively normal level until such time as more +information becomes available to help it assimilate the +previously blanked out data. At this point some unusual +occurrences take place causing the brain to trigger the +previously blanked memories and bringing them forward from the +sub-conscious into the conscious area of the mind, or Id. With +this occurrence comes increased metal activity that creates an +increase in Neuro-electrical activity within the brain itself, +thereby increasing the brain's natural abilities to manipulate +it's physical surrounding without physical intervention.. + + This theorem may not be as far fetched as it may sound. We +know that bio-electrical activity is one of the motivating +factors which makes the human body animate, function, and live. +We also know for example that in the event of injury to either +the brain or the Neuro-systems (nervous system) certain parts of +the human body cease to function. + Taking it a step further, we currently are able to +manipulate invisible electrical forces in the form of Radio and +television waves, which transmit pictures, turn motors, and make +possible such innovations as the modern home computer. Therefore +the idea of the human brain creating such amounts of electrical +activity as to be able to control and effect it's surrounding +environment is not far fetched at all. + + Now you ask the question; "What has this to do with UFO +Abductees/Contactees? + + + + Simply put, we must first consider two possibilities. The +first being we have accepted that UFOs and Aliens do exist, and +therefore based upon the available evidence human-beings are +being contacted and/or being forcefully abducted for whatever +purposes. + Because of the trauma caused these Abductees/Contactees +their brains have shut down in order to be able to assimilate the +data necessary to cope with this incident in their lives. In many +cases these incidents are on-going occurrences which would +require some sort of mental manipulation on the part of the +abductors to keep control of their subject. Because of the +ingrained human survival instinct the human brain begins to +increase it's bio-electrical activity thereby causing paranormal +activity in it's surrounding vicinity. whether it manifest itself +as uncommonly clear memories that cause the abductee/contactee to +relive the physical sensations that they were subjected to during +the course of their abduction, or other physical manipulations in +their surroundings i.e..poltergeist, telepathy, psycho-kinesis.. + The second possibility we must consider is the physical +modification or manipulation of the human brain on the part of +the abductors i.e..implants, bio-genetic engineering or +modifications etc..We know that it is possible to control the +human mind or at least certain areas of the brain that will cause +pleasure and pain, anger and apathy. Therefore why is it not +possible for a possibly more advance culture to have carried this +further and be able to control all aspects of the brain? Making +possible such things as channeling (communications) and all of +the previously mentioned paranormal phenomena. + + A recent review of case studies that date back as far as the +late to middle fifties has shown that in almost all instances +where a person reports abduction or contact in some form or +another there is almost always paranormal activity reported. + Currently there are certain individuals within the +UFO/paranormal fields who have shown and uncanny ability to +predict where and when a UFO sighting or flap is about to occur. +Increased E.S.P abilities, etc...In almost all cases it has been +shown that they are abductees or contactees.. + +CONCLUSIONS + + Contrary to popular belief, it is apparent that Paranormal +Activity and UFO related Activity are NOT separate issues, but +rather, are one in the same. Both being an integral part of the +other, and both playing a significant role in the lives of the +Abductees/Contactees. + + It is apparent that we as Investigators and Psychotherapist +can no longer ignore the fact that Paranormal activity does occur +in some form or another in relationship to the +UFO/Abduction/Contact Phenomena. + + + We as Investigators and Psychotherapeutic professionals must +come together to establish criteria in which to investigate and +treat Abduction/Contact trauma victims, bearing in mind that +these people require a different type of treatment and inter- +action between the investigator, psychotherapist, and mental +health professional. + + The psychotherapeutic profession must help establish the +acceptance within the mental health professions that there is +indeed a whole phenomena in existence that does in fact deal with +UFO contact and abduction, and that new methods are required to +treat and deal with these unfortunates. Most importantly they +must also be taught to accept the fact that whenever a victim of +such occurrences comes to them for professional help, they are +NOT crazy, but in fact show be in the same classification as that +of sexual abuse, and violent crime victims. + + We as Investigators must educate ourselves for a better +understanding of the trauma that victims of Abduction undergo, +and become aware of the various aspects of Paranormal activity +that in fact do exist.. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Mark Carlotto (The Analytic +Sciences Corporation), Erol Torun (Defense Mapping) and I spent +about two and a half hours (we were originally allotted only 45 +minutes!) detailing the results of our various analyses of the +"enigmatic landforms" at Cydonia -- from Mark's most recent +fractal analysis" of the Face (in comparison with the +surrounding mesas); to Erol's discovery of key mathematical +constants in the D&M Pyramid (see pyramid.rsh); to my own +confirmation of the same constants in the entire "complex" + + The reaction to our briefing was most interesting: there was +a very serious consideration of our data by the general audience +of NASA personel; there was vociferous indignation from the +minority of "planetary scientists" attending. Later, feedback +from this minority -- who have been given an essential "monopoly" +in exploring the solar system for the past thirty years, if not +in subsequent interpretation of the results -- was "Those guys [ +the majority of the technical audience at Goddard] actually sat +there and listened, then asked questions -- as if they believed +that crap!" + + A 40-minute color video (VHS) of "the Goddard presentation" +is available from the MARS MISSION. + + The second major development has been our recent one-to-one +meeting with the Chairman of the House Committee on Science, +Space and Technology, the Honorable Robert A. Roe (D-New Jersey). + + If we are going to get NASA to do what good science now +mandates must be done -- take additional pictures of Cydonia, +with Mars Observer in 1993 -- it is becoming clear that the ONLY +way we are going to get those pictures is via legislation; NASA, +for somewhat obscure reasons, has refused to put our data to a +simple test: new photographs from Mars Observer. It is obvious +therefore, that NASA must be mandated by law to rephotograph Cydonia -- +as it's spacecraft, Mars Observer, once a month passes overhead in polar +orbit. The key point to keep in mind: this will cost NO ADDITIONAL MONEY. + + Even so, NASA still refuses, so legislation is now necessary. + + It shouldn't be that way -- but it is. + + For this reason, our hour-long meeting with Congressman Roe +was a most important milestone on the road to ultimate +verification of our data. At the end of the hour-long meeting -- +during which we detailed not only the significant developments in +our research, but the apparently inexplicable political obstacles +within NASA to simple confirmation -- the Congressman asked me +for a Memo of Recommendations (see MARS3.TXT) -- detailing the +next steps to verification of the Intelligence Hypothesis. + + A few days ago I received a letter from the Chairman, saying +"I enjoyed your visitation and the opportunity to discuss the +Mars Mission," and "I am looking into the recommendations you +have made." + + Because of this continuing dialogue, I would urge all who +want verification of our findings to drop a line to Congressman +Roe (Suite 2321, Rayburn Building, Washington D. C. 20515) +supporting the details in our Memo. Only the Congress can +intervene in what is now essentially a political decision by +NASA: to ignore some extraordinarily provocative research. If +allowed to continue this policy, the space agency will be able to +successfully subvert the entire scientific process -- which at +this point DEMANDS that we go back and get those crucial +pictures. + + If we are wrong, then let the Mars Observer images prove it! + If we are right . . . + + The third development -- which makes the other two pale a +bit by comparison -- is that we think we've finally done it: + + We think we may have "cracked the code" of Cydonia . . . and +are actually now "reading" the mathematical and geometric +message! + + Since the proof of this "radical statement" is extensive ( +though not hard at all to follow), I will not go into it here. +I will say, however, that the interlocking logic -- and what the +"Cydonia message" seems to successfully predict, in the way of a +verifiable geophysical phenomenon -- is easily tested. We ourselves +are proposing one key test, during the upcoming Voyager 2 Encounter of +the planet Neptune: based on the "Cydonia Equations," we believe it +possible to predict the polarity of the Neptune magnetic field. And we +will do so -- it's opposite the Earth's, and basically parallel +to Jupiter's. The spacecraft will not enter the actual Neptune +"magnetosphere" until sometime after August 24 -- so this +prediction is a gamble. But, if we are "reading" what the +Cydonia equations are now trying to tell us, Voyager 2 should +prove it. + + Because of the dramatic breakthorugh this represents in our +research -- if not the entire 13-year effort to understand the +"enigmas of Cydonia" -- we are in the planning stages for a major +news conference, at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., to +announce how we've decoded these mathematics, and what we think +they mean. When final details are determined, we will post them +here -- so please be patient. + + It is our intention to publish, through this electronic +medium, all serious attempts to verify (or falsify!) this work -- +provided those undertaking these attempts work from original +sources. To this end, interested investigators should also +contact Dr. Paul Butterworth, the National Space Science Data +Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, to +order copies of the original Viking Cydonia digital imaging +tapes. The frames one should request are: 35A70, 71, 72, 73, and +74; and (35 days later, in the Viking mission) frames 70A11, 12, +and 13. (BTW: orthographically-rectified versions of the data +tapes will be essential, to adequately test our mathematical and +geometric findings.) + + Finally, the President's proposal to "go to Mars by way of +the Moon." + + If one DOESN'T want to send men and women to Mars, in our +opinion, this is the quickest way to "turn off the American +people on the entire enterprise." Simply price it out of +existence! + + The President's proposal has unnecessarily added at least +ONE HUNDRED BILLION dollars to the cost of going to Mars with men +and women. Therefore, in the coming days, we will be uploading +serious, cost-effective alternatives to the Bush proposal -- +including mission scenarios formulated by Science Applications +Inc. (a JPL-NASA consulting firm), and by Dr. Brian O'Leary -- a +former scientist-astronaut (originally chosen to be a member of +the crew to go to Mars!) and a member of the current Mars +Investigation. + + O'Leary's plan -- to use existing hardware, space shuttle +components, space-station technologies, etc., and assemble a +"lean, mean Mars mission in Earth orbit" -- will not only cost +ONE TENTH the President's proposal, it could get us there TEN +TIMES SOONER . . . by 1999, if Congress enacted the proper +legislation. And the country would wind up making money in the +process! + + Again, given the on-going dialogue established between the +MARS MISSION and the members of the House Committee on Science, +Space and Technology, we are confident that we can -- with your +vital input and assistance -- place these options before the +right committees in the Congress. That . . . + + And the extraordinary reason for going there at all: actual +extraterretrial ruins . . . and now, "a message." + + Stay tuned. + + Richard C.

The issue is UFO's, are they +real? + +Having been trained as a theologian, I will attempt to cover +briefly the ideas of UFO's and the aliens who inhabit them. +Someone once said, "Theologians answers questions which no +one asks!" Hopefully, this short discourse on this subject +will not bore. I will assume that the reader has some +understanding of the Bible and will attempt to bridge some basic +concepts of spiritual understanding. + +THE UNEXPLAINED REALM + Understanding Spiritual Realms + ------------------------------ + +It is impossible to understand phenomenon beyond human reason +until we leave the realm of reason, to comptemplate the realm +of the spirit. The past centuries have recorded phenomenon +beyond human reason. Many things are unexplained, because +they are larger than human comprehension. Just because +something cannot be tested and categorized, doesn't mean that +it doesn't exist. Realms which are spiritual, do touch +realms which are natural. When such realms meet, unexplained +phenomenon occur. Eienstine suggested that two worlds could +conceiveably pass through one another, without ever touching. +He rightly suggested that space between atoms could provide +passage for two solid objects to pass though one another. +Such an idea could explain how Christ passed through a locked +door, confronting doubting Thomas. * (1) + +The Bible is filled with the unexplained. After studying numerous +references to angels, I quickly discovered unexplained phenomenon. +These examples would have, had they occurred in our time, been +denounced and disclaimed as unbelieveable and unproveable. In +Exodus chapter three, there is a story of a bush which burned, but +wasn't consumed. Out of curiousity, Moses approached the bush. Note +verse two; "And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of +fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush +burned with fire, and the bush was {not} consumed." + +Judges chapter thirteen brings another unusual story. An angel +appears to the wife of Manoah. She had been sterile and childless. +The angel told her that she would concieve and give birth. Manoah, +in a spirit of generousity, offered to make the angel a meal. The angel +refused, and suggesting that it be offered as a burnt offering. Manoah, +offered a young goat and the grain to the Lord as a burnt offering. Note: +verse twenty, "And as the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, +the angel ascended in the flame. Seeing this Manoah and his wife fell +with their faces to the ground." + +Now if I reported either one of these events to the authorities, they +would write me off as a "fruit cake." These things called angels, +were clearly "aliens" to our world. Even in Judges 13, when Manoah +asked the name of the angel, he replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is +beyond understanding." These aliens were from a different realm, where +even their names were beyond our capacity to understand. I've only listed +two incidents, where there are well over one hundred angelic encounters. +One of the more noteable incidents is found in Luke 2:8: "There were +shephereds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks at night. +An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone +round about them, and they were terrified. But the Angel said to them, +"Do not be afraid, I bring you good news .." + + +This is yet another occurance of phenomon beyond human reasoning. What +are these strange occurances, and where to they originate? + +CONCEPT ONE + +Two Realms of Human Experience +------------------------------ +First Corinthians chapter 15:35-50, provides a base for our first concept. +Verse 44 tells us that "If there is a natural body, then there is also a +spiritual body." The first concept is simple; THERE IS A EARTHLY REALM, +THERE IS A HEAVENLY REALM. We can substitute "natural" for earthly and +"spiritual" for heavenly. + +Our realm of human experience is primarily in the natural or earthly, but +equally as important is the realm of the spiritual or heavenly. Because +we are focused on our earthly experience, where we can analyze and categorize, +we fail to see the realm beyond our earthly experience. + +Ephesians 6:12 supports the first concept, "For our struggle is not against +flesh and blood, (earthly or natural) but against the rulers, against the +authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the SPIRITUAL +forces of evil in heavenly realms." + +Again, we see the earthly or natural is only an arena where the real battle +occurs. The real battle is in the realm of the spirit, against spiritual +forces. Such battle occured in Acts 13:8 as Elymas the sorcer, attempted +to withstand Paul. Another such battle occured in Daniel 10:5-13. Daniel +writes: + + "I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, + with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. His body + was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like + flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished + bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude. + + I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; the men with me + did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled + and hid themselves. So I was left alone, gazing at this great + vision; I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and + I was helpless. Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to + him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground. + + Verse 12: Then, he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since + the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and + to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and + I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian + kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the + chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there + with the king of Persia." + +Here an angelic being, an alien, appears to Daniel. There is the classical +discription of this being, and the fear of those nearby. The being tells +Daniel that he would have arrived earlier, but was detained by another +being called the prince of Persia. Finally, Michael, a chief prince, over +comes the prince or king of persia. Michael was none other than, Michael the +archangel who blows the trumpet in Revelation. Furthermore, this battle was +not a natural battle, but a spiritual battle. + +There is a natural realm and a spiritual realm. There is the seen and the +unseen. There is a battle which occurs in the arena of the natural, but the +real battle is between supernatural forces or spirit beings. When these +spirit beings penetrate the natural real, their manifestations bring classical +responses of overwhelming fear and confusion in human beings. + + +CONCEPT TWO + +The Battle of Spiritual Beings +------------------------------ +Keeping in mind the earthly and heavenly realms, lets look at a conflict which +which is documented in Isaiah 14:12-15. + + "How you have fallen from HEAVEN, O morning star, son of the dawn! + You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the + nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will + raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthoned on the + mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. + I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like + the Most High." But you are brought down to the grave, to the + depths of the pit." + +There was a battle in the heavens, one called Lucifer, the morning star, was +cast to earth. This is the essence of spiritual battle, just out of sight +of our natural eyes to see it. Another reference to this spiritual being is +found in Ezekiel chapter 28. + +The second concept is clear, THERE IS A BATTLE BETWEEN TWO SPIRITUAL FORCES, +each capable of doing any number of manifestations in the natural realm in +which we live. + +THE EFFECTS OF SPIRITUAL BATTLE + +These spiritual beings, have the ability to influence the course of humanity. +Moses was called to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt by a spiritual +being. Manoah, the father of Samson, was told that Samson would be a +deliverer of his people by a spiritual being. John, the prophet of the book +of Revelation, recieved his words from a spiritual being. + +Although the battle is waged between two spiritual forces, man appears to be +a primary instrument through which these forces express themselves. Their +realm is primarily a spiritual realm which we do not see, they have then +sought to escalate the battle into the natural realm which we do see. + +Here are a few examples of battles between spiritual forces escalating into +the natural: + Matthew 8:16 "When evening came, many who were demon possessed + were brought to him, and he out the spirits with a word and + healed all the sick." + + Matthew 8:28 "When he arrived at the other side in the region + of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs + met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. + "What do you want with us, Son of God?" They shouted, "Have + you come here to torture us before the appointed time?" Some + distance away from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The + demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd + of pigs." He said to them, "Go!" So they came out and went + into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank + into the lake and died in the water." + + Matthew 12:22 "Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who + was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him so he could both talk + and see. .... But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It + is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow + drives out demons." Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them + "Every kingdom divided against itself will not stand. If Satan + drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How them can + his kingdom stand?" + + +These are only a few passages to show the battle between spiritual forces and +their effect upon men. There are spiritual beings who are capable of enpower- +ing men. These spiritual beings have the power to control men, so that +physical and / or mental illness could be the work of a spiritual being. + +HOW TO WIN + +It seems clear that a battle is ensuing between two spiritual powers; it also +seems clear that the battle has spilled over into our natural realm, where men +are controlled by one side or the other. Romans 6:16 says, "Don't you know +that when your offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are +slaves of the one you obey?" You are slaves of one side or the other; there +is no neutral territory. As much as you dislike it, you are being controlled. +Romans chapters 6,7,8 tells us how we can win by becoming spirit controlled +as we yield ourselves to Christ. These chapters is your handbook to survival. + +MANIFESTATIONS + +UFO's are manifestations of spiritual beings. Yes, they can materialize and +touch our world. Yes, they do take many varied shapes and forms. Almost +always, their visible manifestations are related to light and loud sounds. +Yes, they can and do leave residue and materials. What appears to be a space +ship, might only be point at which these spiritual beings pass from the +spiritual realm, into the natural real. (heavenly realm to earthly realm) +One could think of it as a type of sound barrier, except this barrier is a +realm barrier. This barrier was seen through by Elisha and his servant, +Elijah. + +2 Kings 6:12-20 tells of Elisha, how he fortold what the king of Aram was +thinking in his bedroom. This gave Elisha's country a definate edge in +battle. The king of Aram then plotted to kidnapp Elisha. Surrounding the +city in which Elisha was staying, they prepared to kidnapp Elisha. Elisha's +servant, Elijah, was afraid. Elisha then prayed, "Lord, open my servant's +eyes." Elijah saw (verse 17) chariots of fire surrounding Elisha. As the +army approached Elisha, he prayed, "Strike them blind!" They were blinded, +and Elisha kiddnapped them, taking them to Samaria. + +Here we see that natural men can see through a spirit barrier, and these +beings have the power to blind whole armies. That's a pretty powerful +manifestation! + +GET ON THE RIGHT SIDE + +UFO's are beings from another realm, they can appear and reappear at whim +as they pass between the realm barrier of the natural world and spirit +world. Their are two forces at battle with one another, and their goal is +not only to defeat one another, but to escalate the battle upon earth. If +what I have purported is real, it would benefit you, to get on the winning +side. I suggest that relationship with Christ is our only hope in tapping +into the power which will ultimately win. The final battle between these +two realms is documented in Revelation 20:7. Read it!

Box 981 +Wytheville, VA 24382 + +Dear Dick, + + Thanks very much for the new information about the large pyramid of the +Cydonia complex lying precisely upon Mars geodedic north latitude 40.87 +degrees, the tangent of which is e/pi. That is quite impressive, as it is +an empirically-derived location, not one produced by adjusting the framework +of latitude to fit the observations. + + Of course I am not speaking as a space scientist, but I think I can +comment as an archaeologist on the results so far obtained. It seems to me +that we now have a set of detailed correlations of mathematical constants +with surface features, which are at the very least suggestive. The only +hypotheses that are any good in science are those that are falsifiable and +testable. If I were looking at comparable data from some ordinary but +inaccessible place on Earth, then it seems to me that the next step would +be to form a falsifiable and testable hypothesis, namely, that these +structures and mathematical correlations were produced by design. I would +then suggest that the next step would be a close look -- first in a low- +altitude fly-over, then in survey by foot, and finally test by excavation. + + If we apply this line of reasoning to the Cydonia complex, then the +immediate implication is that we should go have a look, perhaps by some kind +of space probe that can produce photos with good resolution in several kinds +of light. Therefore it seems reasonable to me to press for a Mars Probe that +is charged, among other things, with sending back low-altitude, high- +resolution photography of Cydonia. The second line of reasoning leads to +the conclusion that we should send a manned Mars probe to investigate this +and the other [enigmatic and highly-suggestive] features of the red planet. + + One night twenty years ago I was at Tell Gezer in Israel, sitting on a +wall built in 1400 BC, when a friend from Harvard walked up and announced +that man had landed on the Moon. What better time to go to Mars than on the +twentieth anniversary of our trip to the Moon? + + I hope for success in persuading those in position to make decisions +affecting this proposal. It is not important whether we believe there ever +was "life on Mars," it is only important that you and others have developed +some important correlations, even stunningly important correlations of +mathematical constants with surface features, and we need to follow up +properly and scientifically. + + Of course, you are welcome to quote from this letter. + + + Sincerely yours, + + James F.

Spinning against +the starry sky. Messengers from the heavens come to ordinary people. Bearing +new wisdom and warnings of cosmic catastrophe. Men and women are taken from +their beds at night and return with stories of intercourse with strange +beings, their bodies scarred with circles and triangles. Like so many aspects +of our culture, the UFO is the cause of controversy, a controversy which +extends to the very existence of the object in question. Like God, the UFO +divides our society into believers and nonbelievers, cautious hopefuls and +equally cautious agnostics. But whether we believe in the UFO or not, its +presence in our culture clearly has a great deal to tell us about ourselves- +about where we are as a species and where we are going. This kind of cultural +observation does not rule out the possibility that UFOs really do exist, nor +does it require such existence. It merely asks what we can learn from the +phenomenon regarding the current state of human civilization. + +While the biological and metaphysical explanations vary and contradict one +another, there seems to be at least one constant about our nature as human +beings-and that is that we are not alone. We have a drive toward wholeness +and completion which is apparent in everthing we do. For instance, we join +together in intimate union-and produce a new whole, the child. We live in +groups because we can accomplish more together than a single individual ever +could.Even our intellectual history is one of endless struggle to make what +we know of the world fit into a larger pattern of significance. + +But our desire for unity and completion is, perhaps, nowhere more clearly +expressed than in our need for religious experience or understanding. Derived +from the Latin religio, which means to reconnect, religion is the process by +which we strive to link ourselves to the divine or cosmic order of things. +Similarly, salvare, to save, originally meant to make whole. Salvation, the +ultimate aim of religion, is the moment of reconneciton-with God, with +Christ, with the Universe, with the sublime. It is a moment of mystery and +reverence, terror and fulfillment. It is the experience of connection, +touching, and becoming a part of something alien-something outside of us and +very different. + +Whatever the physical reality of UFOs and aliens may be, it is easy to see +the religious dimensions of the phenomena. Carl Jung, as early as the 1950s, +noted the resemblance of flying saucers to the amndala, an ancient symbol of +wholeness and salvation. More recently, tales of abduction and alien +encounters suggest that finding the Other-a being from beyond-connects these +experiences to our underlying religious need for contact which transcends the +daily intercourse of human existence. + + This said, it is necessary to point out how the symbolism surrounding the +UFO phenomenon differs from other types of religious symbolism. At least in +its original form, the UFO was a machine, a technological artifact. While the +technology which it embodies may be far in advance of our own, it is, +nonetheless, something which beings like ourselves might eventually be able +to create. The UFO literature is full of stories of attempts by the +government to reverse engineer UFO propulsion systems. If only we could get +our hands on a piece of their equipment, then, well, with a little bit of +Yankee ingenuity....Similarly the aliens-even as their otherness has +intensified over the years and they have manifested such paranormal powers as +the ability to walk through wall, to levitate, and so on- have remained +finite, humanoid beings who have real limitations and who, in some +inscrutable way, seem to need us as much as we need them. + +All this suggests that we humans are beginning to see ourselves as real +participants in the process of creating unity and organization. Where older +myths regarded humanity as the plaything of the gods, or as the essentially +powerless subject of a transcendent divine sovereign, the myth which has +emerged around the UFO treats humanity as a real partner in the creation of a +cosmic society. The scientific and technological advances of the postwar +period brought with them grave dangers to be sure. But they also made it +possible, for the first time, for humanity to end its earthbound existence, +to visit the heavens and return to tell of the journey, and to imagine +someday, on our own efforts and through our won merits, to become citizens of +the great heavenly city. + +There have, however, been a number of distinct-and even mutually opposed- +reactions to the mythic character of the UFO phenomenon. It is possible to +distinguish among these responses along three distinct axes. There are those +who believe that the UFO comes to us, whether from another star system or +another dimension, and those who regard it as merely a product of the +collective psyche. There are those who interpret the phenomenon in language +which is drawn from the scientific tradition, even as they stretch the limits +of official science, and those who express open hostility to the scientific +establishment. Finally, there are those who see in the UFO a sign of hope and +a catalyst for growth, and those who sense something evil and profoundly +destructive. + +The dominant response to the UFO in the larger culture has been one of +tentative, hopeful anticipation. Broad layers of the population either +believe, or want desperately to believe, that the UFO represents the real +presence of a superior technological force, probably form another star system, +interaction with which is a catalyst for human social (and spiritual) +progress.This trend is connected to a fascination with the new science with +unified field theories and complex systems theory, holistic biology and +ecology-disciplines which are pushing us beyond the old worldview which +regarded the universe as a system of externally related atoms, toward an +understanding of the relationality holism, and self organizing character of +the universe. There is, at the same time, a desire to respect scientific +norms, and to avoid explanations which lack scientific credibility. + +Probably the clearest and most powerful expression of this vision came not +from the UFO movement at all, but rather from Steven Speilberg, whose two +films, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, and E.T. both articulated and gave +form to powerful popular images of the phenomenon. In Close Encounters, a +series of UFO sightings disrupts the stifling routine of small town life and +the loveless marriage of a utility company worker, drawing him and newfound +companion into the Wyoming wilderness for an encounter with benevolent aliens +whose mother ship descends from the skies like a technological New Jerusalem. +He is chosen over the best and the brightest to accompany the aliens on a +journey in to the heavens. The score by John Williams is a clear expression of +the cultural myth at work in these films. Built around a series of complex +and often highly abstract variations on the theme from Pinocchio, it relies on +a common cosmic connection echoed in the refrain, When you wish upon a +star/Makes no difference who you are. + +Moving out from this mythic center, there are two other trends which see the +UFO as a sign, or at least an expression, of hope, but differ in their +attitude toward official science-and thus in their willingness to regard the +phenomenon as objectively real. On the one side are the secular, humanistic +skeptics closely aligned with official science, such as the cosmological +principles championed by Carl Sagan. These skeptics share the UFOlogists quest +for an inhabited universe, but regard UFO as little better than a modern +superstition. Contact, when it comes, will be in binary code and will be +received by a large radio telescope operated by a consortium of universities. +The message will be interpreted by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and +conveyed to the secretary general of the United Nations. + +The hard since approach here, however, is not devoid of a sense of awe at the +vastness of the undertaking of establishing contact. Keith Thompson, while +conducting research for his book, Angles and Aliens, visited with a scientist +working on the SETI project in the California desert. He was Harvard Ph.D.- +type, cream of the crop, Thompson recalls, and he sat there and told me with +an almost religious kind of astonishment, how many channels they had open, and +how much of the heavens they were searching. + +At the other end of the spectrum are those who reject more or less completely, +or are willing to ignore, the limits of occicial science. Rather, these +believers borrow scientific concepts to explain social psychological +phenomena. David Stupple, in an article published shortly after his untimely +death in 1983, documented the continuities between the Theosophical movement +and UFO contactee and channeling cults which developed in the 1950s and 1960s. +Not infrequently UFO groups in the theosophical tradition will see themselves +as drawing out the implications of new developments in relativity and quantum +mechanics. Much of what Charles Spiegel, currently director of the Unarius +Educational Foundation, says-phrases such as The universe is an inner +dimensional energy system, or the mind is a giant computer running off of this +system, or We misunderstand the universe if we think only of the finite factors +of the infinite creative intelligence-sounds surprisingly like popular +accounts which treat the philosophical implications of the new physics. + +The bibliographies of Unarius tracts are filled with references to Desecrates, +Spinoza, and Einstein. Indeed, Dr. Spiegel, who received his degree in psychic +therapeutic science from the Unarius Academy of Science, wrote his doctoral +dissertation on the political structure of the Interplanetary Confederation +which had bee transmitted to him by the chief scientist Alta of the planet +Vixall. He informed me that his immediate predecessor, Unarius cofounder Ruth +E. Norman, had recently made her transition to a nonatomic state where she +functions as the archangle Uriel. One Unarius film depicts the trails of an +aborigine contactee who suffers persecution at the hands of his tribe's high +priest whose name, interestingly enough, just happens to be Seti. + +More recently, theosophical contactee and channeling cults have given way to +New Age interpretations of the phenomenon which are less audaciously offensive +to a scientifically trained audience, but perhaps even more profoundly at odds +with the whole scientific enterprise than their theosophical predecessors. +Ethnobotanist and psilocybin guru Terence McKenna writes in his book, The +Archaic Revival, that the UFO is an idea intended to confound science, because +science has begun to threaten the existence of the planet. At this point a +shock is necessary for the culture, a shock equivalent to the shock of the +resurrection on Roman imperialism. This shock is being applied by the +overmind...a level of hierarchic control being exerted on the human species as +a whole....Our destiny is not ours to decide. It is in the hands of a weirdly +democratic, amoeboid, hyperintelligent superorganism that is called Everybody. +Where the technophiles seek wholeness in a continuation of the scientific +project of our own civilization, the New Age movement rejects the whole +enterprise of rational knowledge and technocratic control in favor of a +religion centered on the maxim let go and let the UFO. + +This theme of letting go has also found resonance among evangelically oriented +abductees. Betty Andreasson Luca, the subject of several books by UFO +investigator Raymond Fowler, told me that her abduction experiences had taught +her how real God is and how he is a control of all things. Even those +abductees who regard their experience as a catalyst for growth report initial +fear and resistance which they overcome only through what amounts to an act +of religious submission to their captors.Whitley Strieber repeatedly +challenges the right of his captors to abduct him and perform medical +operations without his consent. Their reply: We have the right. It is only +after he has accepted this that he is able to come to terms with the +experience and learn from it. + +Not everyone, however, sees in the UFO a sign of hope. Once again the +original, and perhaps definitive, perception in this regard comes from popular +culture rather than the UFO movementitself. Ever since the publication of H.G. +Wells War of the Worlds and Orson Welles famous broadcast of the same, we +have had a fascination with alien invasion. We are desperately afraid that we +are being taken over by a force more powerful than ourselves, the motives and +modus operandi of which are too complex to be apparent to merely human reason. + +The notion that the phenomenon is somehow malevolent cuts across the lines +between technophile and technophobe, and even across the lines between +believer and nonbeliever. Visions of a technological New Jerusalem find their +counterpart in an emerging countermyth of secret invasion by gray aliens from +Zeta Reticuli, who are breeding hybrids in underground bases hidden beneath +the mountains of New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona. This countermyth has found +resonance both among abductees who, far from felling healed and challenged by +their experiences, are more inclined to say that they have been raped and +violated, and among political conspiracy theorists convinced there is a +history of secret contact between the aliens and a secret government centered +in a high level group known as the MJ-12. + +One partisan of the Reticulian invasion hypothesis is physicist John E. +Brandenburg, who claims to have worked on directed energy weapons and other +space defense projects. He says that the Star Wars program in which he served +was actually intended as a defense against the Reticulian invasion. His +prescription: God, GUTS, and Guns. GUTS refers to the Grand Unified Theory of +Science which he hopes will allow us to control gravity with +electromagnetism. He has also proposed a Rainbow Declaration which declares +that on all matters concerning extraterrestrial peoples, the nations of the +earth shall be as one. + +The theme of political conspiracy, however, is not confined to those who +believe we are actually undergoing a secret alien invasion. William Cooper, +author of Behold the Pale Horse, is a former military intelligence and +defense research personnel, claims to have been shown documents relating to +government contact with extraterrestrials. Originally he, too, took the +documents at face value. Gradually, however, he came to the conclusion that +the phenomenon is one great big hoax, exclusively of human origin...designed +to bring into being One World government. The religious overtones of the +phenomenon are all part of the plot. One World government requires a New Age +One World religion. Mr. Cooper, whose answering machine informs callers that +they have reached something called the Intelligence Service, traces this +conspiracy back to John Dewey who, according to Cooper, noted that the +prospect of extraterrestrial invasion might serve to unify earth's warring +nations. The conspiracy, so the argument goes, is promoted by a secret +government which includes the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign +Relations, and other organizations. + +Outwardly it might appear that this sort of negative reaction to the UFO +phenomenon represents a kind of resurgent Yankee individualism that seems at +odds with the religious unity incorporated in more positive versions. However, +there is an underlying need even in these conspiracies to connect the +individual experience to a larger whole. The conspiracy theorist searches for +the pattern which will make his experience of the world a coherent whole. The +intelligence officer, who maps out these secret networks, is the high priest +of this peculiar antireligion. Salvation comes from knowledge of the +conspiracy. Indeed, one often gets the sense that many conspiracy theorists +actually hope that there is a secret government operating behind the scenes, +holding together what often seems like an increasingly fractured and fragile +social reality. + +What are we to make of this complex range of responses to the UFO? When he +first addressed the phenomenon in the 1950s, Jung wrote that the presence of +the UFO signaled fundamental changes in our culture-the passing of one era and +the beginning of another. This is indeed what is happening. Science is +beginning to grasp the relationality, holism, and purposeful self organizing +complexity of the universe. New technologies enable us to tap into the self +organizing dynamics of matter and to end our earthbound infancy and go out +into the cosmos. New means of transportation and communication have drawn the +planet together into one tightly knit, interdependent global civilization. +The powerful images of holism and integration which lie at the heart of the +UFO phenomenon serve as a testament that we are becoming real participants in +the life of the cosmos. + +Ed Conroy, author of Report on Communion, says that the UFO is a mirror of +individual and social psychology...people tend to get the UFO experience they +deserve. A careful look in this mirror can tell us a lot-the ways in which we +are growing and becoming whole, and the ways in which we are still fractured +and even disintegrating. What do you see in those wheels of light over the +high desert, spinning against the starry sky? A New Jerusalem? A pale horse +which heralds apocalypse? Or the memory of very ancient dreams clothed in a +technological symbolism which speaks of new tools with which to make all our +dreams come true? + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

It +involved the recovery by the U.S. military of material alleged to be of +extraterrestrial origin. The vent was announced by the U.S. military on July +8, 1947, through a press release that was carried by newspapers throughout the +country. It was subsequently denied by what is now believed to be a cover +story claiming the material was nothing more than a weather balloon. It has +remained veiled in government secrecy ever since. + +The press release announcing the unusual event was issued by the commander of +the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell Army Air Field, Colonel William Blanchard, who +later went on to become a four star general and vice chief of staff of the +United States Air Force. That the weather balloon story was a cover-up has +been confirmed by individuals directly involved, including the late General +Thomas DuBose who took the telephone call from Washington, DC, ordering the +cover-up. Numerous other credible military and civilian witnesses have +testified that the original press release was correct and the Roswell wreckage +was of extraterrestrial origin. One such individual was Major Jesse Marcel, +the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group and one of the first military +officers at the scene. + +On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of Albuquerque, +New Mexico, announced to the press that he had been stonewalled by the Defense +Department when requesting information regarding the 1947 Roswell event on +behalf of constituents and witnesses. Indicating that he was seeking further +investigation into the matter, Congressman Schiff called the Defense +Department's lack of response astounding and concluded it was apparently +another government cover-up. + +History has shown that unsubstantiated official assurances or denials by +government are often meaningless. There is a logical and straightforward way +to ensure that the truth about Roswell will emerge: an Executive Order +declassifying any information regarding the existence of UFOs or +extraterrestrial intelligence. Because this is a unique issue of universal +concern, such an action would be appropriate and warranted. To provide +positive assurance for all potential witnesses, it would need to be clearly +stated and written into law. Such a measure is essentially what presidential +candidate Jimmy Carter promised and then failed to deliver to the American +people 18 years ago in 1976. + +If, as is officially claimed, no information on Roswell, UFOs, or +extraterrestrial intelligence is being withheld, and Executive Order +declassifying it would be a mere formality, as there would be nothing to +disclose. The order would, however, have the positive effect of setting the +record straight once and for all. Years of controversy and suspicion would be +ended, both in the eyes of the United States own citizens and in the eyes of +the world. + +If, on the other hand, the Roswell witnesses are telling the truth and +information on extraterrestrial intelligence does exist, it is not something +to which a privileged few in the United States government should have +exclusive rights. It is knowledge of profound importance to which all people +throughout the world should have an inalienable right. Its release would +unquestionably be universally acknowledged as an historic act of honestly and +goodwill. + +I support the request, as outlined above, for an executive order declassifying +any U.S. government information regarding the existence of UFOs or +extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Associated Press. All rights reserved. + +By MATT MYGATT Associated Press Writer + ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- A powerful beam striking the Earth from a +twin star system 14,000 light years away could herald a new type of +particle that physicists said confounds the standard theories of +physics. + The beam, carrying a million billion electron volts of energy, comes +from a neutron star, half of a binary star system named Hercules X-1 in +the constellation Hercules, said Dr. Guarang Yodh, a physicist at the +University of California at Irvine. + The neutron star is nearly the size of Earth's moon, but is extremely +dense with a mass nearly double the sun's. + The other half of the star system, about 4 million miles from the +neutron star, is a star similar to the sun. + The neutron star is a large, spinning magnet, generating massive +electromagnetic fields and giving off powerful radiation. + The beam, first detected at Los Alamos National Laboratory in July +1986, initially was believed to be electrically neutral gamma rays, +which are high-energy light waves or photons. + The problem with that interpretation was that the beam "hits way up +in the atmosphere and produces a shower of particles," Yodh said Friday +in a telephone interview. + Gamma rays are not supposed to do that, said Dr. Darragh Nagle, a +physicist at the Los Alamos lab. + "That's the thing that's interesting and puzzling about the finding," +he said. "There is the possible presence of a new particle that is +coming out of the study of a powerful neutral beam. + "It isn't the power of the neutral beam; it's this peculiar +interaction in the Earth's atmosphere," Nagle said in a telephone +interview. + Yodh said the discovery should lead to new insights about sources of +energy in the universe and about the elementary structure of matter. + "Both of them are extremely relevant to our understanding of our +universe. I think that is the main impact it will make on society," Yodh +said. + Yodh said scientists have come up with several explanations for the +strange beam, which also has been detected by observatories in Arizona +and Hawaii. One explanation is that it is made of a previously unknown +particle. + "It is unexplainable by conventional theory, present-day knowledge," +Yodh said. + Scientists delayed in publishing their findings because they have +been rechecking their research and trying to come up with an +explanation, he said. + "We've been trying to make it go away.

The +whole purpose of John Lear's harrassment of Mr. Testa was to silence +him as a source of information regarding the CAJI Newsletter about +Lear's involvement with the government, his involvement with Lazar and +his suppossed methamphetamine lab, and the fact that Lear is "CONDOR". + +I wish to make it perfectly clear that nowhere in the CAJI BBS +Newsletter did Cory ever state (nor was it implied) that Cory said that +anyone was involved with drugs although he did state to me (Bill +Cooper) by phone that Bob Lazar himself had stated on the George Knapp +show that he was suspected of running a drug lab. Bob Lazar himself +had stated during the George Knapp interview that others thought his +lab was used to manufacture drugs. + +The intense pressure that John Lear, George Knapp, and strangely enough +Don Ecker of UFO magazine put upon Cory Testa is prima facia evidence +that something other than what you believe is going on here. It is +evidence that someone or some organization has tremendous control and +is trying to silence witnesses just the same as witnesses have been +silenced in the past. + +Journalists should ask questions not threaten. I was told by Cory that +Don Ecker of UFO magazine informed Cory that he was responsible and +could be sued and that he should have thought of that before he got +involved. Journalism? Sounds like NAZI tactics to me and substantiats +everything I've said about secret control of the media. + +Why did Don Ecker call Cory and threaten him with a lawsuit? Why did +Don Ecker tell Cory that he should not have become involved? Is that +journalism? No! That is a blatent effort by UFO magazine to shut Cory +up. + +Why did John Lear call Cory and tell him lies about what was published +in the CAJI Newsletter in order to intimidate Cory and try to shut him +up? John Lear called Cory on the phone and told him that he would be +sued because Cory told CAJI that Lazar was manufacturing drugs. +NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. CORY ONLY REPORTED WHAT WAS +SHOWN ON GEORGE KNAPPS TV SHOW WHERE BOB LAZAR STATED THAT PEOPLE +THOUGHT BOB LAZAR'S LAB WAS USED TO MANUFACTURE DRUGS. Could it be +that where there is smoke there is fire? You bet your ass it is. + +The truth is that Cory Testa called me (Bill Cooper) and told me that +he saw a George Knapp segment where Bob Lazar was accussed of being a +part of a Las Vegas prostitution ring. During that or another +interview Cory heard Bob Lazar say that people thought his lab was used +to manufacture drugs. Cory Testa reported those conversations and +facts to the CAJI BBS. Since he did this and since I (Bill Cooper) +made those conversations and facts available to the general public +across the United States Cory, has been subjected to severe harrassment +in an attempt to make him shut up. It hasen't worked and nor will it. + +The information on the involvement of Lear and Lazar in the manufacture +of Methamphetamine came from entirely differently sources two of which +are Lear and Lazar themselves. Upon one occassion when I stayed with +Lear he asked me to ride along with him while he picked up something +for Lazar. It turned out to be chemicals. I asked him what they were +for and he told me that Lazar had a speed lab. Lear asked me not to +tell anyone about it. We then drove to Lazar's home wher Lear dropped +off the cans of chemicals and then we went back to Lear's home. I +knew that Lazar had a jet car and thought nothing of it until lately +when I was told that not only did Lazar manufacture methamphetamine but +that Lear was a partner. + +I think it's time that law enforcement went to all the places in Las +Vegas that sells chemicals which can be used to manufacture +methamphetamine and take a picture of John Lear and Bob Lazar and see +who remembers one or both of them purchasing the chemicals. I was with +Lear when he not only purchased them but delivered them to Lazar's home +and told me that Lazar had a "speed" lab. I am willing to state the +above under oath in a court of law. + +Lets get one thing straight. Everyone in this country thinks that they +are helpless. I am showing them right now that it is a lie. Every +person in this country has been intimidated throughout thier lives and +everyone is afraid to stand up for fear that they will lose everything +or that they will end up in jail. That's BULLSHIT. That is what you +have been trained to believe and whenever the government agents or big +money agents come at you the result is jelly. I am demonstrating to +all of you that if you are right and if you want freedom you can have +it but only if you stand up to the Moore's, Lear's, Lazar's, etc. You +see most people would have wilted in front of their assault but not me. +I learned poker from my grandmother, death from Vietnam, and life from +everyone that I have ever known. I learned love from Annie. + +This is a war. I intend to win. If I win you win. If I lose you are +lost forever. I am just now beginning to review the tape attack upon +me done by the Knapp "Worst Evidence" tv show. I fully intend to take +each statement and each issue word by word and crucify George Knapp and +his disinformation guests. George Knapp is a liar and he will suffer +for his ignorance. It is obvious that he never investigated anything +or anyone that he has libeled in his attack upon me. His yellow +journalism tactics become very clear when viewers learn that he not +only lied about everything but that he never even attempted to get a +statement or reply from Bill Cooper to air on the same show. George +Knapp and his controllers have grossely underestemated Bill Cooper in +that they obviously thought that Bill Cooper would lie down and die. +The opposite is true. It will be George Knapp that will lose +and his career will suffer. George Knapp has either been used or he is +part and parcel of the governments disinformation campaign. It really +doesn't make any difference at this point. + +The fact that Don Ecker of UFO magazine has done everything to shut +witnesses up is evidence that UFO magazine or at least Don Ecker may +also be a part of it. Don Ecker left a message on CAJI and stated that +I should call him since he was doing a story. I called him and he +began dripping all over me pretending to be a friend. I stopped him +and made it known that he was not a friend of mine. My observation was +based upon Don Ecker's articles that consisted of snide remarks and +outright ridicule of anyone or anything that he did not agree with. +Don still tried to be phoney and congenial. It did not work. Don +Ecker became very irate when he tried to put me on hold and I told him +I did not have time. I hung up and went about my business. The next +thing I heard was from Cory that Don Ecker had threatened him with the +ultimate exposure in UFO magazine as a phony. The only phony is Don +Ecker. IF anyone sues Cory CAJI will provide legal aid and will +support him all the way. + + +I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT.

Well, according to United + States Air Force Regulation 80-17 (dated 19 September 1966), a UFO is "Any" + aerial Phenomenon or object which is unknown or appears to be out of the + ordinary to the observer." This is a very broad definition which applies + equally well to one individual seeing his first noctilucent cloud at + twilight as it does to another individual seeing his first helicopter. + However, at present most people consider the term UFO to mean an object + which behaves in a strange or erratic manner while moving through the + Earth's atmosphere. That strange phenomenon has evoked strong emotions + and great curiosity among a large segment of our world's population. The + average person is interested because he loves a mystery, the professional + military man is involved because of the possible threat to national + security, and some scientists are interested because of the basic curiosity + that led them into becoming researchers. + + The literature on UFO's is so vast, and the stories so many and varied, + that we can only present a sketchy outline of the subject in this chapter. + That outline includes description classifications, operational domains + (temporal and spatial), some theories as to the nature of the UFO + phenomenon, human reactions, attempts to attack the problem scientifically, + and some tentative conclusions. If you wish to read further in this area, + the references provide an excellent starting point. + + 33.1 DESCRIPTIONS + + One of the greatest problems you encounter when attempting to catalog + UFO sightings, is selection of a system for cataloging. No effective + system has yet been devised, although a number of different systems have + been proposed.

During + this discussion, please remember that the more ancient the reports the less + sophisticated the observer. Not only were the ancient observers lacking + the terminology necessary to describe complex devices (such as present day + helicopters) but they were also lacking the concepts necessary to + understand the true nature of such things as television, spaceships, + rockets, nuclear weapons and radiation effects. To some, the most + advanced technological concept was a war chariot with knife blades attached + to the wheels. By the same token, the very lack of accurate terminology + and descriptions leaves the more ancient reports open to considerable + misinterpretation, and it may well be that present evaluations of + individual reports are completely wrong. Nevertheless, let us start with + an intriguing story in one of the oldest chronicles of India...the Book of + Dzyan. + + The book is a group of "story-teller" legends which were finally + gathered in manuscript form when man learned to write. One of the stories + is of a small group of beings who supposedly came to Earth many thousands + of years ago in a metal craft which orbited the Earth several times before + landing. As told in the Book "These beings lived to themselves and were + revered by the humans among whom they had settled. But eventually + differences arose among them and they divided their numbers, several of the + men and women and some children settled in another city, where they were + promptly installed as rulers by the awe-stricken populace. + + "Separation did not bring peace to these people and finally their + anger reached a point where the ruler of the original city took with him + a small number of his warriors and they rose into the air in a huge shining + metal vessel. While they were many leagues from the city of their enemies, + they launched a great shining lance that rode on a beam of light. It burst + apart in the city of their enemies with a great ball of flame that shot up + to the heavens, almost to the stars. All those who were in the city were + horribly burned and even those who were not in the city - but nearby - were + burned also. Those who looked upon the lance and the ball of fire were + blinded forever afterward. Those who entered the city on foot became ill + and died. Even the dust of the city was poisoned, as were the rivers that + flowed through it. Men dared not go near it, and it gradually crumbled + into dust and was forgotten by men." + + "When the leader saw what he had done to his own people he retired to + his palace and refused to see anyone. Then he gathered about him those + warriors who remained, and their wives and children, and they entered their + vessels and rose one by one into the sky and sailed away. Nor did they + return." + +------------------------------------------------------------------- + ( Page Four ) + + Could this foregoing legend really be an account of an extraterrestrial + colonization, complete with guided missle, nuclear warhead and radiation + effects? It is difficult to assess the validity of that explanation... + just as it is difficult to explain why Greek, Roman and Nordic Mythology + all discuss wars and contacts among their "Gods." (Even the Bible records + conflict between the legions of God and Satan.) Could it be that each + group recorded their parochial view of what was actually a global conflict + among alien colonists or visitors? Or is it that man has led such a + violent existence that he tends to expect conflict and violence among even + his gods? + + Evidence of perhaps an even earlier possible contact was uncovered by + Tschi Pen Lao of the University of Peking. He discovered astonishing + carvings in granite on a mountain in Hunan Province and on an island in + Lake Tungting. These carvings have been evaluated as 47,000 years old, and + they show people with large trunks (breathing apparatus?...or "elephant" + heads shown on human bodies? Remember, the Egyptians often represented + their gods as animal heads on human bodies.) + + Only 8,000 years ago, rocks were sculpted in the Tassili plateau of + Sahara, depicting what appeared to be human beings but with strange round + heads (helmets? or "sun" heads on human bodies?) And even more recently, + in the Bible, Genesis (6:4) tells of angels from the sky mating with women + of Earth, who bore them children. Genesis 19:3 tells of Lot meeting two + angels in the desert and his later feeding them at his house. The Bible + also tells a rather unusual story of Ezekiel who witnessed what has been + interpreted by some to have been a spacecraft or aircraft landing near the + Chebar River in Chaldea (593 B.C.). + + Even the Irish have recorded strange visitations. In the Speculum + Regali in Konungs Skuggsa (and other accounts of the era about 956 A.D.) + are numerous stories of "demonships" in the skies. In one case a rope from + one such ship became entangled with part of a church. A man from the ship + + [Page 3 of 7] + + climbed down the rope to free it, but was seized by the townspeople. The + bishop made the people release the man, who climbed back to the ship, + where the crew cut the rope and the ship rose and sailed out of sight. + In all of his actions, the climbing man appeared as if he were swimming + in water. Stories such as this makes one wonder if the legends of the + "little people" of Ireland were based upon imagination alone. + + About the same time, in Lyons (France) three men and a women supposedly + descended from an airship or spaceship and were captured by a mob. These + foreigners admitted to being wizards, and were killed. (No mention is + made of the methods employed to extract the admissions.) Many documented + UFO sightings occurred throughout the Middle Ages, including an especially + startling one of a UFO over London on 16 December 1742. However, we do + not have room to include any more of the Middle Ages sightings. Instead, + two "more-recent" sightings are contained in this section to bring us up to + modern times. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + ( Page Five ) + + In a sworn statement dated 21 April 1897, a prosperous and prominent + farmer named Alexander Hamilton (Le Roy, Kansas, U.S.A.) told of an attack + upon his cattle at about 10:30 p.m. the previous Monday. He, his son, and + his tenant grabbed axes and ran some 700 feet from the house to the cow + lot where a great cigar-shaped ship about 300 feet long floated some 30 + feet above the cattle. It had a carriage underneath which was brightly + lighted within (dirigible and gondola?) and which had numerous windows. + Inside were six strange looking beings jabbering in a foreign language. + These beings suddenly became aware of Hamilton and the others. They + immediately turned a searchlight on the farmer, and also turned on some + power which sped up a turbine wheel (about 30 ft diameter) located under + the craft. The ship rose, taking with it a two-year old heifer which was + roped about the neck by a cable of one-half inch thick, red material. The + next day a neighbor, Link Thomas, found the animal's hide, legs and head + in his field. He was mystified at how the remains got to where they were + because of the lack of tracks in the soft soil. Alexander Hamilton's sworn + statement was accompanied by an affidavit as to his veracity. The + affidavit was signed by ten of the local leading citizens. + + On the evening of 4 November 1957 at Fort Itaipu, Brazil, two sentries + noted a "new star" in the sky. The "star" grew in size and within seconds + + stopped over the fort. It drifted slowly downward, was as large as a big + aircraft, and was surround by a strong orange glow. A distinct humming + sound was heard, and then the heat struck. One sentry collapsed almost + immediately, the other managed to slide to shelter under the heavy cannons + where his loud cries awoke the garrison. While the troops were scrambling + towards their battle stations, complete electrical failure occurred. + There was panic until the lights came back on but a number of men still + managed to see an orange glow leaving the area at high speed. Both + sentries were found badly burned...one unconscious and the other incoherent, + suffering from deep shock. + + Thus, UFO sightings not only appear to extend back to 47,000 years + through time but also are global in nature. One has the feeling that + this phenomenon deserves some sort of valid scientific investigation, even + if it is a low level effort. + 33.3 SOME THEORIES AS TO THE NATURE OF THE UFO PHENOMENON + There are very few cohesive theories as to the nature of UFO's. Those + theories that have been advanced can be collected in five groups: + a. Mysticism + b. Hoaxes, and rantings due to unstable personalities + c. Secret Weapons + d. Natural Phenomena + e. Alien visitors +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE SIX + + + Mysticism + + It is believed by some cults that the mission of UFO's and their crews + is a spiritual one, and that all materialistic efforts to determine the + UFO's nature are doomed to failure. + + Hoaxes and Rantings due to Unstable Personalities + + Some have suggested that all UFO reports were the results of pranks + and hoaxes, or were made by people with unstable personalities. This + attitude was particularly prevalent during the time period when the Air + Force investigation was being operated under the code name of Project + Grudge. A few airlines even went as far as to ground every pilot who + reported seeing a "flying saucer." The only way for the pilot to regain + flight status was to undergo a psychiatric examination. There was a + noticeable decline in pilot reports during this time interval, and a few + interpreted this decline to prove that UFO's were either hoaxes or the + result of unstable personalities. It is of interest that NICAP (The + National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) even today still + receives reports from commercial pilots who neglect to notify either the + Air Force or their own airline. + + There are a number of cases which indicate that not all reports fall + + + [Page 4 of 7] + + in the hoax category. We will examine one such case now. It is the + Socorro, New Mexico sighting made by police Sergeant Lonnie Zamora. + Sergeant Zamora was patrolling the streets of Socorro on 24 April 1964 + when he saw a shiny object drift down into an area of gullies on the edge + of town. He also heard a loud roaring noise which sounded as if an old + dynamite shed located out that way had exploded. He immediately radioed + police headquarters, and drove out toward the shed. Zamora was forced to + stop about 150 yards away from a deep gully in which there appeared to be + an overturned car. He radioed that he was investigating a possible wreck, + and then worked his car up onto the mesa and over toward the edge of the + gully. He parked short, and when he walked the final few feet to the edge, + he was amazed to see that it was not a car but instead was a weird + eggshaped object about fifteen feet long, white in color and resting on + short, metal legs. Beside it, unaware of his presence were two humanoids + dressed in silvery coveralls. They seemed to be working on a portion of + the underside of the object. Zamora was still standing there, surprised, + when they suddenly noticed him and dove out of sight around the object. + Zamora also headed the other way, back toward his car. He glanced back at + the object just as a bright blue flame shot down from the underside. + Within seconds the eggshaped thing rose out of the gully with "an ear- + -splitting roar." The object was out of sight over the nearby mountains + almost immediately, and Sergeant Zamora was moving the opposite direction + almost as fast when he met Sergeant Sam Chavez who was responding to +Zamora's + earlier radio calls. Together they investigated the gully and found the + bushes charred and still smoking where the blue flame had jetted down on + them. About the charred area were four deep marks where the metal legs + had been. Each mark was three and one half inches deep, and was circular + in shape. The sand in the gully was very hard packed so no sign of the + humanoids' footprints could be found. An official investigation was + launched that same day, and all data obtained supported the stories of + Zamora and Chavez. It is rather difficult to label this episode a hoax, + and it is also doubtful that both Zamora and Chavez shared portions of the + same hallucination. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE SEVEN + + + Secret Weapons + + A few individuals have proposed that UFO's are actually advanced weapon + systems, and that their natures must not be revealed. Very few people + accept this as a credible suggestion. + + Natural Phenomena + + It has also been suggested that at least some, and possibly all, of the + UFO cases were just mis-interpreted manifestations of natural phenomena. + Undoubtedly this suggestion has some merit. People have reported, as UFO's, + objects which were conclusively proven to be balloons (weather and skyhook), + the planet Venus, man-made artificial satellites, normal aircraft, unusual + cloud formations, and lights from ceilometers (equipment projecting light + beams on cloud bases to determine the height of the aircraft visual +ceiling). + It is also suspected that people have reported mirages, optical illusions, + swamp gas and ball lightning (a poorly-understood discharge of electrical + energy in a spheroidal or ellipsoidal shape...some charges have lasted for + up to fifteen minutes but the ball is usually no bigger than a large +orange.) + But it is difficult to tell a swamp dweller that the strange, fast-moving + light he saw in the sky was swamp gas; and it is just as difficult to tell + a farmer that a bright UFO in the sky is the same ball lightning that he + has seen rolling along his fence wires in dry weather. Thus accidental + mis-identification of what might well be natural phenomena breeds mistrust + and disbelief; it leads to the hasty conclusion that the truth is + deliberatly not being told. One last suggestion of interest has been made, + that the UFO's were plasmoids from space...concentrated blobs of solar wind + that succeeded in reaching the surface of the Earth. Somehow this last + suggestion does not seem to be very plausible; perhaps because it ignores + such things as penetration of Earth's magnetic field. + + Alien Visitors + + The most stimulating theory for us is that the UFO's are material + objects which are either "Manned" or remote-controlled by beings who are + alien to this planet. There is some evidence supporting this viewpoint. + In addition to police Sergeant Lonnie Zamora's experience, let us consider + the case of Barney and Betty Hill. On a trip through New England they + lost two hours on the night of 19 September 1961 without even realizing it. + However, after that night both Barney and Betty began developing + psychological problems which eventually grew sufficienty severe that they + submitted themselves to psychiatric examination and treatment. During the + course of treatment hypnotherapy was used, and it yielded remarkably + detailed and similar stories from both Barney and Betty. Essentially + they had been hypnotically kidnapped, taken aboard a UFO, submitted to + two-hour physicals, and released with posthypnotic suggestions to forget + the entire incident. The evidence is rather strong that this is what the + Hills, even in their subconscious, believe happened to them. And it is of + particular importance that after the "posthypnotic block" was removed, both + of the Hills ceased having their psychological problems. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE EIGHT + + + The Hill's description of the aliens was similar to descriptions + provided in other cases, but this particular type of alien appears to be + + [Page 5 of 7] + + in the minority. The most commonly described alien is about three and one- + half feet tall, has a round head (helmet?), arms reaching to or below his + knees, and is wearing a silvery space suit or coveralls. Other aliens + appear to be essentially the same as Earthmen, while still others have + particularily wide (wrap around) eyes and mouths with very thin lips. And + there is a rare group reported as about four feet tall, weight of around + 35 pounds, and covered with thick hair or fur (clothing?). Members of this + last group are described as being extremely strong. If such beings are + visiting Earth, two questions arise: 1) why haven't there been any accidents + which have revealed their presence, and 2) why haven't they attempted to + contact us officially? The answer to the first question may exist partially + in Sergeant Lonnie Zamora's experience, and may exist partially in the + Tunguska meteor discussed in Chapter XXIX. In that chapter it was suggested + that the Tonguska meteor was actually a comet which exploded in the + atmosphere, the ices melted and the dust spread out. Hence, no debris! + However, it has also been suggested that the Tunguska meteor was actually + an alien spacecraft that entered the atmosphere to rapidly, suffered + mechanical failure, and lost its power supply and/or weapons in a nuclear + explosion. While that hypothesis may seem far fetched, sample of tree + rings from around the world reveal that, immediately after the Tunguska + meteor explosion, the level of radioactivity in the world rose sharply for + a short period of time. It is difficult to find a natural explanation for + that increase in radioactivity, although the suggestion has been advanced + that enough of the meteor's great kinetic energy was converted into heat + (by atmospheric friction) that a fusion reaction occurred. This still + leaves us with no answer to the second question: why no contact? That + question is very easy to answer in several ways: 1) we may be the object + of intensive sociological and psychological study. In such studies you + usually avoid disturbing the test subjects' environment; 2) you do not + "contact" a colony of ants, and humans may seem that way to any aliens + (variation: a zoo is fun to visit, but you don't "contact" the lizards); + 3) such contact may have already taken place secretly; and 4) such contact + may have already taken place on a different plane of awareness and we are + not yet sensitive to communications on such a plane. These are just a few + of the reasons. You may add to the list as you desire. + + 33.4 HUMAN FEAR AND HOSTILITY + + Besides the foregoing reasons, contacting humans is downright dangerous. + Think about that for a moment! On the microscopic level our bodies reject + and fight (through production antibodies) any alien material; this process + helps us fight off disease but it also sometimes results in allergic + reactions to innocuous materials. On the macroscopic (psychological and + sociological) level we are antagonistic to beings that are "different". + For proof of that, just watch how an odd child is treated by other children, + or how a minority group is socially deprived, or how the Arabs feel about + the Israelis (Chinese vs Japanese, Turks vs Greeks, etc.) In case you are + hesitant to extend that concept to the treatment of aliens let me point + out that in very ancient times, possible extraterrestrials may have been + treated as Gods but in the last two thousand years, the evidence is that + any possible aliens have been ripped apart by mobs, shot and shot at, + physically assaulted, and in general treated with fear and aggression. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE NINE + + + In Ireland about 1,000 A.D., supposed airships were treated as "demon- + ships." In Lyons, France, "admitted" space travellers were killed. More + recently, on 24 July 1957 Russian anti-aircraft batteries on the Kouril + Islands opened fire on UFO's. Although all Soviet anti-aircraft batteries + on the Islands were in action, no hits were made. The UFO's were luminous + and moved very fast. We too have fired on UFO's. About ten o'clock one + morning, a radar site near a fighter base picked up a UFO doing 700 mph. + The UFO then slowed to 100 mph, and two F-86's were scrambled to intercept. + Eventually one F-86 closed on the UFO at about 3,000 feet altitude. The + UFO began to accelerate away but the pilot still managed to get within 500 + yards of the target for a short period of time. It was definately saucer- + shaped. As the pilot pushed the F-86 at top speed, the UFO began to pull + away. When the range reached 1,000 yards, the pilot armed his guns and + fired in an attempt to down the saucer. He failed, and the UFO pulled away + rapidly, vanishing in the distance. This same basic situation may have + happened on a more personal level. On Sunday evening 21 August 1955, eight + adults and three children were on the Sutton Farm (one-half mile from Kelly, + Kentucky) when, according to them, one of the children saw a brightly + glowing UFO settle behind the barn, out of sight from where he stood. + Other witnesses on nearby farms also saw the object. However, the Suttons + dismissed it as a "shooting star," and did not investigate. Approximately + thirty minutes later (at 8 p.m.), the family dogs began barking so two of + the men went to the back door and looked out. Approximately 50 feet away + and coming toward them was a creature wearing a glowing silvery suit. It + was about three and one-half feet tall with a large round head and very + long arms. It had large webbed hands which were equipped with claws. The + two Suttons grabbed a twelve guage shotgun and a 22 caliber pistol, and + fired at close range. They could hear the pellets and bullet ricochet as + if off of metal. The creature was knocked down, but jumped up and + scrambled away. The Suttons retreated into the house, turned off all + inside lights, and turned on the porch-light. At that moment, one of the + women who was peeking out of the dining room window discovered that a + creature with some sort of helmet and wide slit eyes was peeking back at + her. She screamed, the men rushed in and started shooting. The creature + was knocked backwards but again scrambled away without apparent harm. More + shooting occurred (a total of about 50 rounds) over the next 20 minutes and + the creatures finally left (perhaps feeling unwelcome?) After about a two + + [Page 6 of 7] + + hour wait (for safety), the Suttons left too. By the time the police got + there, the aliens were gone but the Suttons would not move back to the farm. + They sold it and departed. This reported incident does bear out the + contention though that humans are dangerous. At no time in the story did + the supposed aliens shoot back, although one is left with the impression + that the described creatures were having fun scaring humans. + + 33.5 ATTEMPTS AT SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES + + + In any scientific endeavor, the first step is to aquire data, the + second step to clasify the data, and the third step to form hypothesis. + The hypothesis are tested by repeating the entire process, with each cycle + resulting in an increase in understanding (we hope). The UFO phenomenon + does not yield readily to this approach because the data taken so far + exhibits both excessive variety and vagueness. The vagueness is caused + in part by the lack of preparation of the observer...very few people leave + their house knowing that they are going to see a UFO that evening. + Photographs are overexposed or underexposed, and rarely in color. Hardly + anyone carries around a radiation counter or magnetometer. And, in addition + to this, there is a very high level of "noise" in the data. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE TEN + + + The noise consists of mistaken reports of known natural phenomena, + hoaxes, reports by unstable individuals and mistaken removal of data + regarding possible unnatural or unknown natural phenomena (by overzealous + individuals who are trying to eliminate all data due to known natural + phenomena). In addition, those data, which do appear to be valid, exhibit + an excessive amount of variety relative to the statistical samples which + are available. This has led to very clumsy classification systems, which + in turn provide quite unfertile ground for formulation of hypothesis. + + + One hypothesis which looked promising for a time was that of ORTHOTENY + (i.e., UFO sightings fall on "great circle" routes). At first, plots of + sightings seemed to verify the concept of orthoteny but recent use of + computers has revealed that even random numbers yield "great circle" plots + as neatly as do UFO sightings. + + There is one solid advance that has been made though. Jacques and + Janine Vallee have taken a particular type of UFO - namely those that are + lower than tree-top level when sighted - and plotted the UFO's estimated + diameter versus the estimated distance from the observer. The result + yields an average diameter of 5 meters with a very characteristic drop for + short viewing distances, and rise for long viewing distances. This + behavior at the extremes of the curve is well known to astronomers and + psychologists as the "moon illusion." The illusion only occurs when the + object being viewed is a real, physical object. Because this implies that + the observers have viewed a real object, it permits us to accept also their + statement that these particular UFO's had a rotational axis of symmetry. + + Another, less solid, advance made by the Vallee's was their plotting + of the total number of sightings per week versus the date. They did this + for the time span from 1947 to 1962, and then attempted to match the peaks + of the curve (every 2 years 2 months) to the times of Earth-Mars conjuction + (every 2 years 1.4 months). The match was very good between 1950 and 1956 + but was poor outside those limits. Also, the peaks were not only at the + times of Earth-Mars conjunction but also roughly at the first harmonic + (very loosely, every 13 months). This raises the question why should UFO's + only visit Earth when Mars is in conjunction and when it is on the opposite + side of the sun. Obviously, the conjunction periodicity of Mars is not the + final answer. As it happens, there is an interesting possibility to + consider. Suppose Jupiter's conjunctions were used; they are every 13.1 + months. That would satisfy the observed periods nicely, except for every + even data peak being of different magnitude from every odd data peak. + Perhaps a combination of Martian, Jovian, and Saturnian (and even other + planetary) conjunctions will be necessary to match the frequency plot... + if it can be matched. + + Further data correlation is quite difficult. There are a large number + of different saucer shapes but this may mean little. For example, look at + the number of different types of aircraft which are in use in the U.S. Air + Force alone. + + It is obvious that intensive scientific study is needed in this area; + no such study has yet been undertaken at the necessary levels of intensity + and support. One thing that must be guarded against in any such study is + the trap of implicity assuming that our knowledge of Physics (or any other + branch of science) is complete. An example of one such trap is selecting + a group of physical laws which we now accept as valid, and assume that they + will never be superceded. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE ELEVEN + + + Five such laws might be: + + 1) Every action must have an opposite and equal reaction. + + 2) Every particle in the univers attracts every other particle with a + force proportional to the product of the masses and inversely as the + + [Page 7 of 7] + + square of the distance. + + 3) Energy, mass and momentum are conserved. + + 4) No material body can have a speed as great as c, the speed of light + in free space. + + 5) The maximum energy, E, which can be obtained from a body at rest is + E=mc2, where m is the rest mass of the body. + + Laws numbered 1 and 3 seem fairly safe, but let us hesitate and take + another look. Actually, law number 3 is only valid (now) from a +relativistic + viewpoint; and for that matter so are laws 4 and 5. But relativity + completely revised these physical concepts after 1915, before then Newtonian + mechanics were supreme. We should also note that general relativity has + not yet been verified. Thus we have the peculiar situation of five laws + which appear to deny the possibility of intelligent alien control of UFO's, + yet three of the laws are recent in concept and may not even be valid. + Also, law number 2 has not yet been tested under conditions of large +relative + speeds or accelerations. We should not deny the possibility of alien + control of UFO's on the basis of preconceived notions not established as + related or relevant to the UFO's. + + 33.6 CONCLUSION + + From available information, the UFO phenomenon appears to have been + global in nature for almost 50,000 years. The majority of known witnesses + have been reliable people who have seen easily-explained natural phenomena, + and there appears to be no overall positive correlation with population + density. The entire phenomenon could be psychological in nature but that + is quite doubtful. However, psychological factors probably do enter the + data picture as "noise." The phenomenon could also be entirely due to + known and unknown phenomena (with some psychological "noise" added in) but + that too is questionable in view of some of the available data. + + This leaves us with the unpleasant possibility of alien visitors to + our planet, or at least of alien controlled UFO's. However, the data are + not well correlated, and what questionable data there are suggest the + existence of at least three and maybe four different groups of aliens + (possibly at different stages of development). This too is difficult to + accept. It implies the existence of intelligent life on a majority of the + planets in our solar system, or a surprisingly strong interest in Earth by + members of other solar systems. +------------------------------------------------------------------- + PAGE TWELVE + + + A solution to the UFO problem may be obtained by the long and diligent + effort of a large group of well financed and competant scientists, + unfortunately there is no evidence suggesting that such an effort is going + to be made. However, even if such an effort were made, there is no + guarantee of success because of the isolated and sporatic nature of the + sightings. Also, there may be nothing to find, and that would mean a long + search with no proff at the end. The best thing to do is to keep an open + and skeptical mind, and not take an extreme position on any side of the + question. + + + + This document is available through the Ufo Info Service. + + + This is the original Air Force Document. + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The CARP.UFO report was an +unsigned document, no signature, and no return address. As I +stated in reference to that, I gave no credence to the report +because of the manner that I received it. This report is a bit +different. I did speak to the person that sent it, and am still +waiting to hear back from his group. The file is an alledged +interview between two men, the interviewer is under a pseudonym of +Bill. The interviewee is supposed to be a retired Three Star +General that undertook a favor to "Bill" to check into the UFO +question. The man I spoke to is the director of this group, and +even though he was aware of who I am, and the reason for my +questions, he refused to put me in touch with either of the other +two gentlemen "until they checked me out." I am still waiting to +hear from them. + +Because of some of the subject matter in the report, I had a +feeling that there was quite a bit of information in this report +that had been deleted. According to the director I was right. He +told me that "Bill" was a still active duty Full Colonel and that 3 +Star was at one time Bill and his commanding officer. + +The deleted information is supposed to contain some very disturbing +information that deals with mutilations, both animal and human, and +a large number of abducted and missing children and young adults. +According to the director of this group there were about 20 to 25 +pages of deleted material. Also seen but of course as is usual, a +number of photos that 3 Star was able to get at one point. I would +rate this report as highly strange, but at this point unverifiable. +At any rate here is the report and any suggestions from the +members are most certainly welcome. + +I will use Bill for the interviewer and 3* for the interviewee. + +Don Ecker + +***************************************************************** +THE INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT HAS BEEN EDITED FOR THE REASONS AS +STATED WITHIN.

At first, I felt the facts or + should I say information in the book were there just to sell it and + make our Govt. out to be the bad guy...as so many books do today. + However, the public has abeen lied to for over 40 years.

I was given + documents, allowed to view video tape, given photographs, base + locations and I was even asked to participate in the "Awareness + Program"...which is to disseminate Alien contact to the public. + + I turned down the offer. When I did I was sort of an outcast and I + found friends of 30 years had no time for me. I soon was limited to + all forms of information. Hell, every time I requested anything + through normal channels it was either lost or delayed for "higher + approval". This was normal everyday decisions, which wer NEVER + questioned before.

From + all documentation and information available that I have seen with + my own eyes as well as the physical evidence, this is in answer to + your questions. + + 1. The aliens really do not have any sort of invasion planned for + this planet. Aliens have visited this planet off and on for + thousands of years. Our U.S. guest is over 300 years old. There are + both "good and bad" aliens just as there are good and bad humans. + They are not all that different from us. The aliens utilize around + 55% of their brain capacity or ability. The aliens do have DNA, + just like we do. The alien which is the guest of the U.S. Govt. is + 5 feet 3 inches tall and weights 96 pounds. Large head (no hair) + large slanted eyes. Some of the aliens' abilities include moderate + telepathy and telekinisis. + + The purpose of alien visitation to this planet is one of curiosity + and scientific research. Not world domination as some would have + you believe. Cattle and humans have been used in alien and U.S. + research for various biological applications. Most humans are not + hurt in this research and experimentation. Some however, have died + due to complications and down-right carelessness. + + Several cross-breed "young" have been born to both human females + and alien females. We as humans are fully biological compatible + with most visiting aliens. Some we are not. More that one type or + species of alien has visited this planet. They are listed by + category...this information I could not retrieve. + + 2. The U. S. Govt. and the British have made secret treaty + agreements with the aliens in exchange for technology and so-called + recon missions during times of human conflict. The aliens have + basically agreed not to concern themselves with the wars or + conflicts of humans. Not to interfere in society. Let the Govts. + rule and decide. Exactly what the aliens get in return was not + exactly made clear or available. + + Also, there are special teams which eradicate, discredit, harass + and trump-up charges to control humans which experience any + visitations from aliens, or make verifiable UFO sightings. This is + one of the reasons I retired. It's too much for any govt. to impose + upon the civilian population like this. + + 3. Many of the strange happenings which people experience with UFO + sightings can be one of two things. First, simply an overactive and + wishful imagination. Second and foremost is the influence of the + vast mental power of the alien visitors. In the reports and + experiments conducted with live aliens, they have an incredible + power of telepathic suggestion. Combine this with their telekentic + abilities and just about anyone can be some-what directed to do or + think just about anything. + + Did I cover all of your questions? + +Bill> One more and you'll be done. Why all the secrecy from day + one about the alien contact, the Roswell Incident, UFOs etc.? + +3*> The Roswell Incident happened at a very hectic time. World + problems and domestic matters drew priority. Make no mistake, Pres. + Truman and later Pres. Eisenhower gave specific direct orders to + keep everything and I mean everything top secret. At that time, all + alien (known as EBE) information became departmentalized and + dispersed on a need to know only basis. I as well as others heard + rumors and pursued our career with no further thought to the matter. + + Also consider the fact that even with today's high technology we + still don't know all of the propulsion system, craft manufacture + and so forth. The most recent information that I did manage to + receive before I was cut off is that the alien craft has + more-or-less been copied by top scientific experts and is functional. + + The "special group" assigned to oversee the alien situation and + other govt. VIPs agree to gather all of the technology possible and + put it to use for the benefit of the USA. I really wonder what + other motives are there. One very important thought about reasons + for secrecy are common religious values and beliefs. Most of the + world religions (especially in the US) would tumble. This in turn + would cause panic and chaos. Something not wanted or needed in any + time. + + Look at the big lie the Federal Govt. has created, promoted swore + to and fed to the public over the past 42 years. Even the + Presidents of the US from 1947 to present day has lied about this + situation. Talk about a cover up? If this information would ever + get out, many people from the President down would be removed from + office. Many would go to jail in one form or another. + + My information led me to other more graphic reasons that I really + don't want to discuss. This whole situation is fantastic enough and + the imnplications are endless. + + The "awareness program" that I mentioned earlier was designed to + inform the public about alien contact, landings, crashes, the + + +[Created by Psplit 1.03] [Page 3 of 5] + + Roswell Incident, UFOs and the govt. All of this is filtered to the + public in a systematic, logical way. This is coupled with the + increased alien--human abductions and contacts. This is a joint + govt. and alien program. If done correctly, there will be extremely + little or no panic and no resistance. The world govts. will retain + control and chaos is avoided. + +Bill> Thank you very much for your time and this timely + information. + +3*> Now that I have found this information out, I wonder about + everything I could not access or was prevented from learning when I + turned down the position on the "asareness program"? + +Bill> I know that I am pushing it a bit here but could you go + into some of the topics that seem to be eating away at you? + +3*> Lets take a break from this interview for now. Its after + 11:00 PM and I'm tired. I'll give you a call in a few days and we + will go from there. + +Bill> It sounds good to me too. I've got a lot of work to do in + the morning so I better call it quits for now. + +================================================================= + +This is the second and final installment of the purported interview +with a retired 3 Star General, being interviewed by what was +described to me as a still active duty Full Colonel interested in +the subject of UFOs. Now prior to continuing with this, allow me +to make an observation. + +Since I uploaded part one of this file, and with the upload of the +previous file -- CARP.UFO-- I have received several E-Mail notes +asking me why I have put out such outlandish and paranoid files. I +will answer like this. First, I do not believe that any of us here +have a really good and solid idea of just what is happening in the +bizarre world of UFOs. Since I have started to explore this thing +several years ago, believe me when I tell you that I have +experienced most of the angles of this subject. Everything from the +Space-Brothers are here to save us from ourselves, tales of ET love +affairs with the likes of the ledgendary Semjase ( now that is one +ET I would LOVE to meet! ) to tales of "Their here eating us!!" to +the Leader of the free world selling drugs to support MJ-12!!!! +What this all boils down to is a hell of alot of rhetoric and damn +little proof. Oh, there is some proof to be sure, ie mutilated +cows, ( you ain't lived till you have been up to your elbows in one +) scars on alledged abductee's ( one gentleman told me that he +turned gay after his 16th birthday because of repeated abductions. +he was tired of being forced to copulate with alien females ) +landing traces ( hard baked soil compacted inches, something damn +heavy had set down on it ) and tales from dozens of people, living +in some cases a whole continent apart ( with the same information +in uncanny detail ). OK, what does this mean? In my opinion, it +means that SOMETHING damn strange IS INDEED ONGOING..... so, that +means that the only way to find out is investigate and investigate +some more. Knowledge is power, so the reason I have uploaded this +files is that MAYBE someone out there in computer land, ( and you +would be really suprised where all ParaNet DOES GO ) will have a +missing piece of the puzzle, and better yet will contact one of we +happy little band of investigators -- with PROOF +.................... and by the way, to those good meaning folks +that have written me email, just because I put something up here, +it does not mean that I think this is what really is happening. +Always read what I have to say about the file in advance. In this +case, I stated that there is HIGH STRANGENESS in this one, BUT NO +PROOF THAT IT IS LEGITIMATE. + +***************************************************************** + Part II of the 3 * interview. + +JULY 14, 1989 + +Bill> Thank you for agreeing to a second interview on this + topic. Did you enjoy your trip to the mountains? + +3* > Yes my wife and I had a wonderful time. + +Bill> What is bothering you so much about the alien situation? + +3* > As I mentioned before, there have been several UFO crashes, + not just the one in Roswell, New Mexico. Look at the documents I + brought with me. The photos are quite explicit to the CARGO OF SOME + OF THE UFOs. + +Bill> Why are there children aboard these crafts!? My God! You + don't mean that the aliens are snaching our kids? What for?? + +3* > There are over a million missing children every year in the + US alone. Now, not all of them have been taken by aliens. The + aliens take about 2,200 children a year from the US and other + countries. Its all right there in the report attached to the three + photos. The rest of the missing children are the result of + mankind's dark side. You know what I mean. It's in the paper every + day. + +[Created by Psplit 1.03] [Page 4 of 5] + + + The children are used in several ways; biological, to educate and + return, experimentation, disease study. The same as adults. + +Bill> Adults are one matter, but leave the children alone. I am + very bothered by this information. According to the report, + implants are being used on the people that are taken aboard UFOs + and returned. Some of these implants are microscopic in size (and + smaller) and influence the growth, function and learning + capabilities of the individual. This is a very detailed report. + Could I have a copy? + +3* > No, Sorry but you know our agreement was that you did not + get to keep or copy any paperwork. As well as the other matters we + discussed. + +Bill> That you did! I will keep my word, don't worry. + +3* > I would like to mention a little bit more of why the public + have not been told the truth. Lets run through the whole thing + rather quickly. + 1. Security/Fear Factor; Everyone feels safe knowing that the US + is one of the dominate powers on Earth. Right? The Human race is in + control and science will solve it all. The simple fact is--if you + take away the security of people it is replaced with fear! Fear is + the first step to chaos. Just imagine what would happen if there + was an announcement that the govts. are no longer in control, we + have aliens living among us, they have kidnapped our people, used + them as guinea pigs, killed them, manipulated our culture, tampered + with our food, created new diseases to study on us, have interbred + with us and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. Now, how + do you think the public would react? + + 2. The fact that the Govt. have been lying, covering up the truth, + have given permission for abductions and experiments on the public. + Keep in mind that the agencies involved are highly covert, funded + very well and have almost absolute power (life and death) over + anyone who interferes. How do you think the public will react? + + 3. Cures for certain diseases, free electrical power, pollution + free energy, no longer a need for fossil fuels, abundant food and + water for everyone. All of this has been possible for many years + now. What would happen if this technology was turned loose to the + public? The tech report showed that within the first year over 18 + million people out of work. The monetary system would collapse and + all of the other problems that go along with it. A REAL + POSSIBILITY OF A GLOBAL NUCLEAR CONFLICT........ALL OUT OF FEAR!! + Is it really worth the chance? + +Bill> What you say does make sense when you think about it. + What is going on with the sudden surge in UFOs, aliens, abductions + and the like? Is this part of the awareness program? + +3* > Yes it is. The awareness program calls for the funding of + movies, series on TV, specials and books. All of the "front" money + will filter its way to fund a TV series or movie if it is deemed + worthy of friendly, helpful alien contact. An idea is passed along + to the big named producers and directors and if it takes hold, + everything will fall in place and the funding starts. It is really + unique how it all works. Now way to trace it to the govt. and the + people involved truely believe it is their own creative work. + Everyone gets into the act and no problems. After the movie hits + the public, the reaction and interest of the masses are carefully + monitored. + + Abductions of humans are both random and selective. Influential + people are selected to either -- explain and guide the public or to + serve some political need or requirement. + + UFO sightings increase when needed to draw the attention of the + public. You must keep in mind that the mere mention of UFOs, aliens + and the like will draw weird looks, rumors and make people believe + that you have a mental problem, not playing with a full deck of + cards and so forth. People will make fun of you and will laugh at + you! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT. AND WHO WANTS TO BE LAUGHED + AT WHEN THEY ARE SERIOUS? The result is not one will say anything + unless there are many witnesses. The unique thing about this + subject is people don't want to believe. The general feeling is + that mankind is all. There is nothing else but God and Country. + This is what most people believe. I am not disputing or disagreeing + with anything. I just find it amazing that people in general are so + damn stupid and stubborn. Let alone that many are so pompous and + self-rightous about their religion and self image. Do these people + have a rude awaking someday! It can surely be said that we are not + alone in this universe. + +Bill> How large are UFOs? What type of propulsion system do the + crafts use? do you have any photographs I could look at? + +3* > The alien crafts are disc, triangle, oblong cigar shaped. + The range from 30 ft in dia. for the smaller recon discs to over + 730 ft in dia. for the larger "mother" discs or the flying saucer, + if you will. + + The triangle shaped crafts are 210 ft. in dia. This does not seem + +[Created by Psplit 1.03] [Page 5 of 5] + + to change as you can see in the photos which show 3 different + triangle crafts which all measure the same and are identical in + shape and appearance. + + The oblong cigar shaped craft is the real big one of the three. The + only one ever found by the military in the late 60's measured 1,100 + ft. long with a circumference of 310 ft. Take a look at this photo + and read the report attached. The information gathered from this + one enabled us to copy the basics of alien technology. It took 20 + yrs to do so. + + The basic propulsion system or drive is a fusion reactor which + ranges in size from about the size of a medicine ball, you know the + one tossed around in gym class, to about the size of a large Van or + station wagon. It is a magnetic drive surrounded by an aura of + bright white light. This is for the disc and triangle shaped + crafts. The oblong cigar shaped craft does not have this aura of + light. All crafts are almost totally silent. There is some noise. + +Bill> I can't believe the photos! This looks like something + right out of the movies. The other report information which is + stapled to the photos is very detailed. This information is both + fantastic and very scary! I wish I could share this proof that I am + now holding in my hands. I know, I won't ask again. You have to get + this evidence back where it belongs before it is noticed missing, + don't you? + +3* > Yes I do. If this documentation ever got out I am sure + several individuals would be terminated. The powers to be have a + systematic method and program that deals with documentation, + verification and termination of information and personnel. + + The most important asset to the Govt. on the subject of aliens, + UFOs, cover-up story and the like is simply the "OVERALL PROJECTION + OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE UFO EXPERIENCES IS ONE OF FANTASY, DELUSIONS, + MIS-CONCEPTIONS, UNRELIABLE KOOKS AND CRACK-POTS AND DOWN RIGHT + LIARS." Also keep in mind that the news reporters and the news + media in general, poke fun at individuals with their quirk smile + and light attitude about the whole thing. Matters can be + documented. The proof is out there and is available. Many people + must come down off their high horse and open their eyes. it is no + shame to admit that you are wrong. No one knows everything and no + one should be expected to. + +Bill> It seems to me that you have talked to several people + about this subject and the outcome has been negative? At least as + you describe the general attitude earlier. Maybe we ought to wrap + this issue up? + +3* > I really hate to be sour about this subject but the people + of this planet have a God given right to the truth. Many people + will not believe what has been stated herein. Many questions are + raised and can not be answered. Certainly not to the satisfaction + of many. Until the day comes when the big announcement and/or + experience happens to you --the individual--you will be too busy + and skeptical. Just like I was! + +Bill> Thank you for everything you have done for me. As I agreed + to do earlier, I will edit out the graphic details and other + information you requested to cover you identity and prevent the + people who helped you obtain the documentation from being suspected. + +3* > I am well aware that there are no guarantees when this + informatioon hits the media. I just hope that the people involved + with this whole UFO, alien, and Govt. connection will come forward + and let the world know. I feel that mankind will become mature + enough to think before acting in the coming decade of the 1990's. + + + ************************END OF FILE**************************** + + END OF TRANSCRIPTION FROM MASTER TAPE--EDITED AS + PER AGREEMENT--- ( from the hard copy---- D.

There is +a vastness that is ever growing and expanding. There have been on +your planet quite a few humanities who have figured out the rules +and have learned a little bit better than other humanities how to +create, how to bring about what they are wanting and how to become +manipulators, rulers, and designers of the game themselves. + +Your planet started off with a certain plan in mind. That plan was +to design a new world where there would be great exchanges of +information. The great computer-like mind connected a crystal +network of information that would beam out in this galaxy as a +storehouse perhaps. It was an exchange center. A world was designed +that was beautiful because this information was going to be held in +the cells of each and every creature and molecule of consciousness +that existed here. Consciousness was going to be endowed within all +things. + +In the vast expansion of creation, many different forms of sentient +beings exist. They are all playing what you would call the mind +game. The Prime Creator, First Cause, was, or so it seems, the +originator of the mind game. + +The Prime Creator thought itself into a reflected state and moved so +that it could see itself so that it could prove to itself it +existed. It created outside of itself. And so the game has gone. +Even the Prime Creator continuously surprises itself with the new +rules and the new possibilities of this substance that has been +endowed with consciousness. + +The forms of this substance continuously mutate and change and even +the smallest portion of being has new potentials. Within this mind +game that all of existence plays, the rules constantly change. That +is part of the game. + +What is occurring on the planet at this time is that you are being +instructed and given information because the rules have changed. It +is time for large numbers of humanity to call on their own innate +knowing, to bring about their own beautification of development, to +step wisely and to learn to play with all of the abilities. + +You have heard us [say] to become aware of what you present to +yourselves. Every portion of the material that is outside of you +determines how you are going to feel and how you are going to set +the parameters of your experience and what you are going to allow +yourselves to put within your lives. What you see is determined by +what you believe is possible. You are in a double bind so to speak, +for you wish to change what you believe to be possible about +yourselves and yet you do not quite know how to change what you are +perceiving. + +Codings are inside of each and every one of you. [They] are being +reactivated by some of those ancient creators who brought your +planet into being when they were playing with their own godhood. +There have been many struggles over the territory of this, your +Earth Sphere, Terra. Many have come here and reigned and have +utilized the rules of the game and developed societies according to +how they wished humanities to perceive. + +You have been very often the product of a few individuals designing +the mass humanity experience. Once again you are involved in this. +This time, you are being told that you can be liberated through your +own thinking and through your own perceptive abilities. We wish to +push you further into this so that you can truly realize what your +boundaries are and realize that every portion is part of the game. + +QUESTION: Do these creators compete against each other and have +their creations make war on each other? + +PLEIADIANS: There have been competitions. There have been vast +amounts of information kept from the public for eons. There have +been humanities who have known the capabilities of mankind. You find +yourself attempting to expand your capabilities, yet you fight and +deny that you even have them. + +The time has come for you to tap into this. Those greater humanities +who you have called gods, those more expanded beings, have indeed +made their own rules for the mind game. Within those rules they +designed societies where mankind was not encouraged to a state of +independence. Think about the history of your world for the last +2,000 of your years and look at the different societies. What did +these societies do? How many encouraged freedom? How many encouraged +independence? How many societies work with the idea of suppression? + +You have heard us say that you live in the United States, the land +of the free, or so you think. We are not here to start a revolution, +we are here to expand what you believe to be possible and to assist +you in your own growth and to turn you ultimately to yourselves and +your own answers. There is nothing more to believe in than yourself. + +When you believe in a God that is so outside of yourself you are not +acknowledging the God that is within you, that has been your +birthright. This is a major state of awareness for each and every +one of you to move into the holiness of your own being. + +Each and every one of you are all that you need to believe in. When +you believe in yourself, expand what you think you are, you begin to +learn the rules of the great mind game and then you are up there +with the big guys. + +QUESTION: I have been in a massive state of confusion, going back +and forth from one belief system to another. + +PLEIADIANS: When you are about to make a change, in general, you +will go through a bit of disorientation so that you can come to a +greater understanding of yourself. Also the disorientation has to do +with the releasing of old behavior, with the relinquishing of +control, because wherever you are, in whatever state of development, +there is a certain amount of control. + +The control forms the boundaries of what you think is safe behavior, +and safe avenues to traverse. So when you are about to make a change +you have to allow that to come down and reevaluate what you think is +okay for you as humanities to do. And you become impatient and you +cannot understand why it has taken you a long period of time to move +from one state to another. It is quite simple. You are not making +the decision. + +The ideas that you are sending out to yourself are not clear. It may +seem to you that it is clear. You do not understand how intricate +your thoughts are and you think you make one statement and this is +going to create and you can forget about it and make all the other +statements that are going to uncreate it. Only you do not hear +those. Your thoughts are like fog and they seep out from you into +all forms. And they always seek to expand, to be out there in +territory. So, when you are not certain about what you are wanting, +you are not giving out a one-lined direction. + +The energies at this time are becoming really very powerful, very +highly charged. You are learning that there is a certain intensity +of commitment that is going to be needed to lift yourself into +higher states of consciousness. All of your thoughts count. If all +of your thoughts are not lined up to your greatest intention, you +are not going to get there, not in completeness. You all need to +learn how to trust yourselves, how to have a greater love for +yourselves and, of course, much more joy. + +Learn to utilize the greater vehicles that you have to keep you +within a balance so that you can move at these great speeds. When +you do not have balance you are not going to move forward with +acceleration. You will crash. + +Many of you have bumped the heads and bumped the psyches because you +have gone after something that you thought that you wanted and have +not understood the rules of the game. Or you have sabotaged your own +rule making by thinking that you were not powerful enough, or +looking to others as being such great humanities, or thinking that +you were not worthy of what you were after.The kicks you get out of +talking about it [are more exciting] than it would be to manifest +it. + +It is most interesting. What is happening on your planet at this +time really makes it an "in" place to be. If there were a People +magazine for the cosmos, the Earth Sphere Terra would be on the +cover. And you all are stars. So, live it up. Be alive because that +is what it is all about. Wherever you go and whatever state of +consciousness you are in, there is going to be stuff to learn. As +you learn how to utilize the rules here, then you would be changing +the game for all of the other players. As you all become awake, you +will be bucking the system. And you will be showing that the rules +indeed have changed and that even the most minute forms of +consciousness have figured out that they are like the gods. + +QUESTION: What kind of freedom do we need to seek? + +PLEIADIANS: When you are seeking freedom it is a freedom from +expectations. Many humanities, just as you, have figured that out +because word has been passed down on your planet and secret +societies have known for eons many of the rules, so to speak. Many +who learned how to play the games kept freedom as a precious food +from reach of the majority of humanity. + +They called it by mysterious names and they said that humanity would +not know what to do with this if they have this. And so they kept it +for themselves. So, when we say to you to seek freedom, it is +freedom from anything that is going to define and suppress any of +your ability that would limit you. + +Stay within that freedom, move outward in all that you would affect +within your life experience and your reality to extend that freedom +outward to others as well. There are no limitations. + +QUESTION: How far is it possible to jump from the level we are now? + +PLEIADIANS: A tremendous amount can be figured out from here. In a +very short period of time, the large majority of you will have made +a gigantic leap. Within one, perhaps two of your years, there [are] +going to be abilities to perceive in vastly different fashions. + +Even now you are learning how to expand as you have seeded yourself +with light and as you begin to listen to the internal self. Many of +you are too intellectual with this. You are all "up here" and you +are all afraid to be "down here" because this is where you are going +to feel. You are going to connect your feeling and you are going to +develop a compassion. And then you would move into these realms. + +They are not thinking realms. They are realms of the highest +connection of spirituality. And they would keep you tethered to +great beings of light who would communicate with you as they are +building light bridges to you at this time. You have no idea of what +is possible. Your mind cannot conceive of what is.possible for your +lifetimes. + +We have recently spoken that something that is going to be and is +available for all of you is what we call the immortality of your +being the ability to extend life and to stop your nonsense of +labeling a programmed degeneration of the body. That is part of the +game. + +That is a flexible rule. Why do you determine that you are getting +older? Why do you determine that the body loses with age? Because a +certain sector of society passed on a rule of the game. Someone +wanted to have power and make money and make up a portion of the +game that was called health. + +Everything is the game and you buy into every portion of the game. +We [get] you very stirred up so that you won't be buying anyone's +game but your own. You can learn to work with one another for +support to make up the rules of your own game and then you will set +things flying. You are unlimited beings. That is the great joy that +you are experiencing. This is why you have all come here. To +participate in that. To remember it. + +Many humanities on your planet are going through times of great +difficulty right now because energies are changing and there are +certain beliefs that are smacking them in the face. You have heard +us say that electromagnetic energy has completely changed on your +planet and all has been sped up within the cosmos because of the +movement of your universe into the new area of space. + +You are being charged by new particles of existence. This is +bringing about the shift in consciousness. It is this that makes all +things different, that makes all things possible now. This is what +is ringing out within your souls to satisfy and to describe and many +who you study and who you read about are all telling you the same +thing. They may use different words. + +All you need to do is have the lights begin to go off in your head. +It does not matter whose words say them to you for you have all the +information stored within you. What you are merely doing is exposing +yourself to certain triggers that you have set up in the outside +world to bring about the activation of certain patterns within you. +You do not have to get into a big sweat about the whole thing, you +know. You are working towards it. You are only a few steps away from +certain amounts of great changes. You will be awed by those and you +will be excited and then you will move into boredom once again and +you will be wishing for new abilities. You are moving quickly now. + +Think about what you have done in a few of your years. Think about +when you all were at the beginning of [the 1980's] what you knew, +how you felt about yourselves, what was possible. And think about +where you were one year ago and what you know now. You are +definitely moving. + +QUESTION: What's the difference between the old rules and new rules? + +PLEIADIANS: There existed in what you would call biblical times, +certain entities that came to your planet that were playing. They +knew the rules were that if you created and if you sent out certain +ideas you could get masses of consciousness to follow this action. +So these entities came to your planet and they affected cultures. +They played with the alteration of your DNA and formed new men out +of the basic Earth stock that existed here at different times. These +entities sojourned and are written about in your Bible. They +affected mankind through the ways that you are presently feeling the +results of. The old rules were that this was a territory for what +you would call certain skylords. + +These skylords made the rules. The rules were that humanities would +worship those that were in the sky and that they would develop all +sorts of expression of this worship. They would be given an +endowment of themselves but they would not be given the complete +information because then, who would they play with? There were other +skylords who wanted these humanities to have a decent game to be +playing in. And so there has been a challenge on your Earth Sphere +Terra as to the type of information that has come in to allow these +humanities to perceive what they can be. The old rules were that the +large majority of humanities were not given the understanding of who +they were. They were kept in ignorance. They were kept in darkness. +They were kept in submission. You were kept from ultimately +understanding who you were. + +The new rules are that all is allowed. You are being blown wide open +so to speak. The gates have been opened and it is fine for you to +know your ultimate experience with creation. + +Do you know who changed those rules? You did. After sojourning here +for thousands of times, you figured it out. This time was designed +for you so you could bring about what it is that you have been after +from the beginning. + +One of the main rules, the one that you all are attempting to figure +out and put into being is the idea of thought manifestation that you +are a result of your thoughts. That is the one that is most +important for you to learn at this moment. Not to wait for great +beings to come from the sky to save you. You argue for your +limitations. You hold onto them. You clutch them dearly like little +dollies that you played with when you were young. + +QUESTION: What about the dilemma of getting to know yourself and not +liking what you see? + +PLEIADIANS: It is an excellent point the dilemma of getting to know +oneself, which comes with developing self-awareness and self-esteem, +and not liking what one sees. Change it. What you are seeing is only +your judgment anyway. You all love to call yourselves right or +wrong. "I am beautiful today," and the next day, "I am what the cat +dragged in." You do this to yourselves back and for, all the time. +Why judge it? + +You are learning. You are on your journey and you are feeling that +certain expressions of behavior and experience give you +exhilarations and others make you want to turn your head. When you +are finding this within yourself you are allowing yourself to +develop along a pathway. If you are finding that there is a portion +of yourself that you do not like, allow yourself to love that +portion and to release it. If you don't like a part of yourself then +let it go. + +Utilize the rules and make a new you. Change your behavior. Believe +that you can change a portion of yourself. But don't release it out +of hatred or anger. Allow yourself to realize that whatever it is +that you are perceiving that you did not particularly approve of, +you birthed it into being. Let it go. Do not tether it to yourself +any longer. + +It is not that you are going to always love every portion of +yourself for you are teaching yourselves and you are bound to run +across something that is going to get your attention. It is a +message to gather more information and ultimately give you more +compassion for others. So, be more easy on yourselves. + +Until you love yourself, you are not going to experience love from +anywhere else. This light energy that is being sent to you and this +light energy that permeates existence, is made up of love. It is a +substance of being that permeates all things. If your scientists +were to break down the particles of the most minute aspect of +existence to find out what makes everything go and everything tick, +it is love. It's what connects you. It is what keeps you alive. + +Start with yourselves. Realize that in this game you picked +yourselves. You picked yourselves to be the player that you would +move around in this aspect of existence. + +When you don't accept responsibility for the player that you picked, +you deny your participation in the game. And so you are moved across +the board of life without any control, always looking to connect +with love and never realizing that in order to connect with love you +must turn on your own light, which is turned on with self-love. When +you turn on your own light by loving yourself because you have +selected yourselves, and by not judging yourself, then the game +completely changes. Then you don't go looking for love. You are it. + +When you are love, and when you move with love, all you bring back +to yourself is love because you are like a beacon and you draw it +all to yourself. When you do not love yourself and you go out +looking for love, you cannot even see it because you do not have the +electromagnetic capacity to even recognize it, to even draw it to +yourself. + +Remember that you, yourselves, are your primary tools for enjoyment +and experience. It is you, yourselves, who are your greatest +teachers. So live, for you have it all within you. Everything . +else, when you discover this, will unfold before you in the most +glorious magic of being. + +The Pleiadians are a collective of extraterrestrials from the star +system the Pleiades.

So this appears +to indicate that what ever it was had been there a long time even in +Jeremiah's days. + +The part that bothers me is that only one Pyramid, the Great +Pyramid, is built on the exact location mentioned in the bible (so +they tell me) and it used the same measurements as they tell that +Noah did when he built the ark, as well as when Solomon built the +temple to God, and also that of the ark of the covenant. This unit +of mesure is said to be the "sacred cubit" and is almost exactly 25" +long. I understand that the Great Pyramid of Geza was the only +Pyramid that used this set of standards, and it's the only one that +has this internal design. No one was buried in it, it didn't have +all the "tresures" or the "heiroglyphics" in it as the other +pyramids did. These things lead me to believe that it was built by +different designers than who built the other pyramids. The name +"Cheops" or "Kufu" translated means "Lord of Light," I find that an +interesting name for a pharoah, don't you ? + +There are several other interesting points concerning the +descriptions of the Great Pyramid in relationship to certain things +mentioned in the bible. The "Top Stone" is missing, only a legend +goes along with why and what it looked like, but no one seems to +know where it went, or even if it had ever been in place. Anyway +they tell me that the only structure that has a "Chief Corner Stone" +is a Pyramid, not to be confused with a "master corner stone." A +chief corner stone is said to be in the center and on top of the +struture and touches all sides of the structure instead of just two. +The Pyramid has 5 sockets that it set it to and that is also +interesting, and there was mention of the 144 thousand white tura +limestone casing stones that once covered the outside of the +structure. + +When talking about Christ the bible makes mention of several things +that related to a structure of some kind, that structue had a "Chief +Corner Stone" and they said the stone that had been rejected by the +builders had become the "Chief of the Corner," if this is true then +they are talking about a pyramid type structure and the "top" stone +that was said to have shone like the sun. Another interesting point +is the 144 thousand that was mentioned in Revelations who were with +the Lord upon Mount Zion. Another point to consider is there is a +place in Revelations where the saints will receive a white stone +with a new name written on it. You put all of this together and you +have a structure that looks like a "mount" that has a brilliant +"Chief Corner Stone" and "144 thousand" other white stones on it. I +wouldn't dare say that the Great Pyramid was "Mount Zion" but I +would say it certanly had some interesting similarities to this +"Mount Zion." + +If any of this at all can be considered then this Great Pyramid +could have had a supernatural designer. One thing is for sure they +had an understanding of the stars, and the Earth, almost as if they +were able to view the Earth from above. + +The Egyptians "Book of the Dead" indicates their understanding that +this structure had supernatural design and they attributed the +design to the "gods." All the other Pyramids have the hieroglyphics +(like found on that beam in the crashed UFO in 1947) and were used +to bury their kings in because they believed he would live in the +here-after because of this structure, why ? Why did they believe +this ? Where did they get this information from if not from some +supernatural source ? + + JN> I am sure there are many other places where UFOs have been + JN> recorded, which serve to "prove" that we have been under + JN> surveliance by somewhat benevolant beings for centuries. + +I agree, and we are fortunate to have this forum to help research +it. + + JN> But.... are these beings from another star system, another + JN> dimension, or from fabled "Atlantis"? Is the current + +Another good question. I believe you could refer to them as +"aliens," "supernatural beings," "angels & demons," etc. and you +would be correct on all counts. I do not believe they are all from +the same place though and I don't believe they all get along with +each other, and there was "war in the heavens." The bible talks +about "fallen angels" who fell to Earth during a great war in the +heavens. If these "fallen angels" are still here then perhaps the +battle is still going on in another dimension and once in awhile we +may see physical effects of their conflict. + +These beings are more than just "aliens" though because they have +abilities that can certanly be considered as "supernatural." They +converse using what we refer to as "telepathy." They have the +ability to appear and disappear at will which gives the impression +of a "cloaking device." They are able to accelerate instantly and to +make 90 degree turns without ill effects as a normal physical body +would. This gives the appearance that they are able to create an +anti-inertia, & anti-gravity effect. So if these "aliens" are more +than just a species simular to ourselves on a higher intellectual +level then perhaps they have powers and abilities far beyond our +understanding. Perhaps they are not affected by gravity and the laws +of physics that we are limited by. + + JN> Peristoroika & Glasnost happening at the prodding of these + JN> beings, in order to avert a worldwide calamity? Why dont + +I feel that if this "spiritual" and "mental" warefare continues as +it has in history then perhaps we humans are reflecting the emotions +and desires of these supernatural beings. Perhaps this is a clue as +to the reasons why such strange things are taking place now and why +the parts of the puzzle just arn't coming together. Our +understanding of supernatural beings is very limited and our +understanding of "aliens" comes from our own concepts and from +watching science fiction movies, so where does that leave us ? It +leaves us with a very faulty understanding of what we are dealing +with. + +We relate things to the physical, and to our understanding of it. We +place terms and reasoning on these "beings" that we ourselves are +subject to, without stopping to consider that they are not subject +to our feelings and desires and needs. They don't think like we do, +their warfare is not like our warfare, their needs are not like our +needs. The reason we can't understand them is that we are using +facts that are known to us and relate to us and what we might expect +from humans, not from supernaturals. We play by one set of rules and +they play by another set, if we don't understand their nature then +how can we expect to put the puzzle together ? Our researchers are +looking right over the clues they need to be picking up on because +most UFO researchers are looking for that "solid evidence" and as +such they say a sighting is either a "hoax" or it is not a "hoax." +What ever it is, it certanly has effects on people and that is real, +hoax or not. + +You make a good point here, why don't they ? Unless their abilities +would be limited by our understanding of who they are and what they +want here. Consider this, if one side uses deceptions as a part of +their warfare then it would be to their disadvantage to show +themselves in their actual "form" but if they did show themselves it +would be in a disguise. In other words if they did land at the Super +Bowl they would not present themselves or their desires in truth. +Perhaps that's why the "mind games" are going on with the UFO +sightings and encounters, perhaps they want to know just how much & +what we will believe. + + JN> at the U.N. THAT would sure wake people up!! But if these + JN> beings have been taking a non-interference attitude all these + JN> centuries, when will they stop playing hide and seek with us + JN> humans? Since Mr. Lazar's revalations show that the + +I have not heard any of Lazar's tapes so I don't really know what he +is saying, I hope to get some video of it soon though. Anyway I do +not believe they have been taking a "non-interference" attitude, I +believe that at least one side (one "alien" camp) makes it a point +to interfear while the other side waits for us to ask for help, like +the battle of Jerico when Joshua came against a city of "giants" who +certanly were not humans, but were decendants of the "son's of god" +who took to wife the daughters of men and had "giants" by them. +There are a number of records in history about these beings. This +battle of Jerico was not just a battle of humans but was more than +that and supernatural powers were involved and humans were caught in +the middle of the conflict. Joshua's army was required to have faith +that their God would deliver them, and that God would defeat the +giants in the land that had been promised to God's people. What do +you think the giants were doing in this promised land ? Could it +have been in spite ? Could it have been to prevent the other "camp" +from giving this land to their humans. Almost like playing a chess +game with live people. + +Somewhere in history in stories of the "gods" there are references +to this very thing, what if there is something to it ? What if +humans are led into war because of some supernatural power having a +disagreement then what ? Sounds silly don't it ? What would we think +of our military (heads) say "MJ-12" group who is said to run the +country above the known government, if they were to come out and say +"My God, we are dealing with Supernatural beings here, Spirits, and +Demons ! OH MY !" We would laugh them right out of there we would, +there is no chance they are going to tell us what's going on, they +don't know how to tell us (even if they knew) because the truth is +stranger than fiction. + +...Bryon + +Bryon Smith - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 +UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name +INTERNET: Bryon.Smith@p0.f19.n19.z1.FIDONET.ORG + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Whoaaaa - VERY strange. + + "It was so bizarre," Munn said. "We were sitting there thinking, + `What's going to happen next?'" Both got on the radio and said, + "Did you see that?" + + The officers talked to a resident concerning the reported +disturbance - who also happened to see the strange flying object - +but didn't find any men running around in their underwear. + + Munn was curious enough about what he saw to call the Lincoln +Municipal Airport to see if they'd picked up anything on radar.

The link between the +phenomena that go under the misleading name of "unidentified flying +objects" and the phenomena studied by parapsychologists has been noted +by a number of writers. John Keel, Jacques Vallee, J. Allen Hynek, Dr. +Berthold Schwarz, D. Scott Rogo, Hilary Evans, and Eric Dingwall are +names that come to mind and the list could easily be extended. A +recent attempt to look more closely at the interface between the two +fields is Manfred Cassirer's stimulating monograph, "Parapsychology +and the UFO" (1988: Manfred Cassirer, 38 Christ Church Ave., London +NW6 7BE). + + + THE UFO-PSI INTERFACE + +Cassirer, a former chairman of the Physical Phenomena Committee of the +British Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and presently council +member of both the SPR and the British UFO Research Association +(BUFORA), calls for a more "vigorous cross-fertilization and exchange +of ideas" between ufologists and parapsychologists. + +Some years ago I tried to publish a paper on a UFO experience of mine +in "The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research"; I was +politely told by the editor, Laura Dale, that it was against policy to +publish on UFOs. + +Yet I soon found that several well-known experimental +parapsychologists were closet ufologists. The provincialism of some +ufologists is more aggressive, as when they use invective instead of +argument against researchers who stress the psychic side of ufology. + +Fortunately, there are growing signs of discontent with this +situation. The time has come to attempt to integrate ufologists and +parapsychology into a comprehensive discipline. Cassirer's study, a +step in this direction, looks at about two dozen points of contact +between the two areas of research. + +Let us begin with the obvious. Both types of phenomena go beyond what +established science considers physically possible. When, for example, +an unidentified flying object takes off from a stationary position, +travelling at an astronomical speed, then makes a right angle turn and +vanishes, we're dealing with something as baffling to known physics as +clairvoyance or psychokinesis. + + SIMILARITIES IN CONTENT + +Most striking is the apparitional demeanor of UFOs. UFOs sometimes act +like ghosts. When UFO lights or craft appear out of nowhere, rise +straight up from the ground, or split up and multiply, as they often +do, they appear ghostlike in their physical insubstantiality. Humanoid +UFO occupants, sometimes reminiscent of elves and fairies-as well as +ghosts-simultaneously have ordinary and extraordinary traits. For +instance, they may look solid but then glide through walls. Or, as +Euan Macpherson suggests, UFOs may be glimpses into the future, citing +their ghostly behavior in support of his view. (See his "Beyond the ET +Hypothesis: UFOs, Ghosts and Time-Slips," Strange Magazine #4, pp. +26-26.) + +Despite their elusive tactics, ghosts and UFO entities sometimes +leave physical traces, suggesting their hybrid stat- us. We need to +underscore this point. A word to describe this tertium quid - this +type of object neither entirely subject or object, dream or reality - +is C. G. Jung's term, _psychoid_. + +Ufology and parapsychology point to a metaphysical twilight zone we +can dub psychoid. We will come back to this, but first more on the +overlaps in UFO-psi data, detailed by Cassirer. + +The annals of psychical research contain reports of materi- +alizations, which Cassirer compares to UFOs, noting that "UFOs and +their purported occupants are no less versatile in fading in and out +at the very shortest notice." + +A common trait of UFO and psi-related entities is their uncommon +luminosity. Ghosts, apparitions, and visions often appear radiant, +enhaloed, or otherwise queerly incandescent; often so do the +apparitions of UFOs and their occupants. One interesting relationship +is between the beings of light reported in near-death and deathbed +encounters and the lambent space brothers and angelic luminaries of +UFO contactee fame. Here may be a positive clue to our problem. In the +psychic world, luminosity-as Jung said-is akin to numinosity, i.e. the +sense of sacred power. Both luminosity and numinosity are properties +linked to supernormal modes of consciousness. The clue? Our +phenomena may be alternate routes to some form of higher +consciousness. + +Besides shared luminosities, the creatures of Ufoworld and Psiland +engage our olfactory and auditory perceptions. Poltergeists, demons, +Bigfoot, and UFO denizens are known to beset the nostrils with +acrid, sulphurous and other unpleasant odors; while, in the realm of +saintly psi, there is the well-attested odor of sanctity. Likewise, +there are direct voices of mediums, transcendental music of deathbed +visionaries, raps and footsteps of hauntings, and electronic voices of +the dead, on the one hand and various hummings, buzzings, roarings, +uncanny silences, and other auditory oddities linked to UFOs on the +other. To add to this extrasensory overload, Cassirer notes that in +both psychic and ufological experiences, people report queer breez- +es, rushes, winds, and drafts, often unnaturally cold. + +The phenomenon of bodily levitation has been observed in mediumship, +diabolic possession, and saintly ecstasy. Objects are allegedly +levitated in poltergeist cases. Levitation plays a prominent part in +UFO lore and case histories. To begin with, the strange objects seen +cavorting about the heavens seem at odds with the laws of gravity, and +so suggest levitation. People who claim to have been abducted by alien +intruders sometimes say they were levitated, often on beams of light, +into space ships. Sometimes they claim to be instantaneously +catapulted miles away in space. Of course, the psychic world is full +of tales of teleportation. My favorite is the case of the medium, Mrs. +Samuel Guppy, teleported from her house at Highbury to 61 Lamb's +Conduit Street, three miles away. Mrs. Guppy, studied by A. R. +Wallace, baffled the arch-skeptic, Frank Podmore; according to +witnesses, the overweight Mrs. Guppy came crashing out of nowhere onto +the seance table, half-dressed. (See Fodor's Encyclopedia of Psychic +Science, under "Guppy.) + +There are also strange distortions of time. Time is the best indicator +that the mechanistic universe is working right. When time acts funny, +our sense of reality starts to crumble. The notion of missing time has +been much- discussed in the abduction literature. Yet this is old hat +to psychologists like William James, for instance, who studied the +case of Ansel Bourne, a man who found himself in a different state, +leading a totally different life, after two months. James hypnotized +the Reverend Bourne and was able to revive the memories of his missing +time. + +The loss of one's routine sense of time is typical during dreaming; +one flies around in one's dreams, shooting back to childhood scenes +and sometimes seeming to leap forward into the future. The word used +to describe this piece of weirdness is _precognition_. + +Then there is the strangeness of time-sense we experience in the +presence of archetypes-those primordial images of the forces of +nature. And who could deny that the whole UFO fabric is permeated by +archetypal elements? (The "Andreasson affair" is an excellent example +of an abduction experience shot through with motifs of spiritual in- +itiation.) + +Cassirer refers to the "dimension game" we find played in the UFO and +psi arenas. The German physicist, Johann Zollner, had his career +ruined on account of his interest in the hyperdimensional physics of +the medium Dr. Henry Slade. Psi phenomena tempt us to postulate other +dimensions of space and/or time. The philosopher Bob Brier has argued +that precognition forces us to postulate a fourth dimension of space +(see his "Metaphysics of Precognition" in "Philosophy and Psychical +Research", ed. S. C. Thakur). Jacques Vallee finds himself driven by +UFO data to speculate on hyper-dimensionality in his book, +"Dimensions." + +Once again, as with time, so with space-psi and UFOs challenge the +rules we use to make sense of experience. We saw this with the +distinction we made-seemingly so basic-between the mental and the +physical. Here, too, we found a strange domain that straddles the two +worlds: the inner and the outer. + +No, these strangers to our time and space who zip in and out of +Ufoworld and Psiland remind us of the magical and the archetypal. When +they graze us with their magic wands, our lives are disturbed, if not +transformed. Jung, to begin with, saw in the very shape of the flying +saucer a mandala or symbol of high integration. + +But there is a dark as well as a bright side to all this. The entities +of the two domains of experience we are comparing have some nasty +habits; they like to attack us in various and sundry ways. + +For instance, alien abduction is alien attack. Then there are those +intimidating Men in Black. On the other side, psychical research +contains data describing assaults by alien, and distinctly unpleasant, +forces. David Hufford's "The Terror That Comes in the Night," a +remarkable study of the nightmare, is a case in point. I myself have +been attacked and temporarily paralyzed by a ghost. (See my +forthcoming account in "Soulmaker", Hampton Roads, in press.) + +Not only do these metaphysical strangers invade our lives, often with +apparent ill will or ill effect, but they often seem to want to help +us, sometimes by direct intervention or by bringing news or messages +or sometimes just by shattering our metaphysical complacency. + +Messages of what?--asks Cassirer. G. K. Chesterton once said that the +spirits always lie. Jacques Vallee, writing a book about alien +visitation, titled it "Messengers of Deception". It is well known that +spirits st seances are often caught red-handed at fibbing and +fabulation. Their messages are pretty dumb, says Cassirer, and so he +prefers to speak of "messengers of regression." I agree that there is +a load of twaddle that comes across as a message, both in ufology and +psychical research. + +But that is not all. In the first place, we have to distinguish +between the literal or overt message and the covert or symbolic. The +message may not be verbal or literal but active and transformative. +This seems clear in the old contactee cases. In unbiased accounts of +alien abductions, the archetypal, symbolic and transformative elements +are also present. + +Of course, there is a thing called experimenter effect or experimenter +bias; if the investigator does not want to hear something, he or she +might just tune it out. I think the evidence shows that our visitors +from Domain X are bipolar in their intention; they like to play on our +weaknesses but they also seem programmed to play up to our strengths. +The Swedenborgian psychiatrist from Mendocino, California, Wilson van +Dusen, studied the hallucinations of mental patients and found this +polarity: there were good guys who tried to help the patients and +rotters who nagged them to distraction. + +As far as psychical research, the range of "message" is rich and +complex. True, there is much inanity, pious froth, and inflated "New +Age" platitude. But entities also intervene to help people. You have, +for example, amazing cases such as that of Joan of Arc whose pro- +phetic voices led her to high historic exploits. + +There are also many everyday examples of psychic first-aid; I have +collected stories of people whose lives have been saved by what looked +like external intervention from metaphysical hybrids (see the chapter +"Helping Apparitions" in my book "The Final Choice"). Sophy Burnham's +creatively confused "Book of Angels" is full of examples of psychic +first aid. Nor should we forget that great mediums like Mrs. Leonard, +Mrs. Piper and Mrs. Willet were all seeming conduits for copious +amounts of accurate information about the objective world. A close +examination of the facts shows the presence of benign intelligence as +well as malignant stupidity. (A curious reflection of ourselves!) + + SIMILARITIES IN MODE OF RESPONSE + +There is another set of similarities between UFO and psychic +experiences. This has to do with the way people interact with and +respond to anomalous entities. In both cases, altered states of +consciousness are involved. UFOs are seen on highways at night, while +people are in bed or sleeping or dozing or gazing; it is well known +that altered states of consciousness lead to psychic experiences. +(That is why meditators usually have increased psi experiences.) We +already mentioned missing time--a sure sign of an altered state. + +Several researchers have found that the same individuals are often +likely to have a history of both UFO encounters and psychic +experiences, thus further strengthening the notion that the phenomena +are interrelated. For example, many people have told me that they have +had near-death, out-of body, and UFO experiences. Researchers on the +near-death experience have found that many subjects develop a general +sensitivity to a wide range of psychic or contactee-like experiences. + +According to reports, UFO intelligences communicate telepathically. +Telepathy, of course, is a basic psychic mode of communication. This +is a very strong effect in UFO reports and we could fill pages with +examples. It is very hard to listen to so many accounts in which +people claim to get impressions from ETs via thought transference +without sensing the strong link between psychic phenomena and ufology. + +Another link is the behavior of animals. Animals react strangely to +the presence of ghosts, poltergeists, and other psychic strangers; +they also, as Cassirer notes, behave oddly when UFOs and their side- +kicks are on the scene. + +Under the heading of modes of response we might add the following +related observation. There is a similarity in the way people tend to +respond to the entities of ufology and parapsychology; both types of +entity, UFO- and psi-related, often evoke extreme responses. +People are apt to lapse into a debunking syndrome or into marvelling +credulity. UFOs and psi phenomena strike deep psychological chords; it +is hard to respond to them with detached rationality. + + + SIMILARITY IN SOCIOLOGY + +There are also similarities in the sociology of our two-or is it +really one?-field(s). Cassirer points out that they elicit tricky +moral issues. Do investigators, for instance, need special moral tact +in dealing with their subjects? There are many ways one might be +tempted to exploit the victims of strange experiences. + +Another parallel is the way the media come into play. They exploit +shamelessly but at the same time make it possible to spread +information, instantaneously and globally. So, sitting in my apartment +in the Bronx, I learn at once of the latest three-eyed giants spooking +kids in the Soviet Union. The problem is that the media are a poor way +to transmit controversial information. Distortion is inevitable. Thus +the data of ufology and parapsychology lend themselves to mythmaking. +The "New Age" is in part a product of this mythmaking. + + + A FALLACIOUS OBJECTION + +Can parapsychology shed light on ufology? The objection has been made +that we cannot explain one unknown by another unknown. But this is to +mistake the nature of the explanation. All explanations are relative, +and even pure deductive systems involve primitive, unexplained +elements. The general function of an explanation is to place the +explicandum (the thing to be explained) in a larger, more familiar +framework, which is always a matter of degree and always a tentative +process open to revision. + +So, it is true that there is a great deal that is unknown and +unexplained about psi, but there is also much that is known, general +correlations, and even repeatable experiments- though not repeatable +on demand. Altered states of consciousness (like dreams and hypnosis), +personality variables (like extroversion), and psychological factors +(like belief, creativity, and spontaneity) all co-relate with the +production of psi phenomena. + +UFO data thus seem less isolated, less anomalous, and more familiar +when viewed in relation to parapsychology; they exhibit connections +with other areas of knowledge. This, of course, may only be a small +step forward, but not a step without value. + +So let us agree that there is a substantive link between ufology and +parapsychology. How are we to interpret this link? Several +possibilities come to mind. + +THREE ANGLES ON THE PSI-UFO CONNECTION + + +1.) The first is compatible with the ET hypothesis. Given That an ET +civilization is (say) a billion years older than ours, it may possess +a vastly developed psi technology. What appears like the "magic" of +psi to us may be a routine feature of their technology. An advanced +psi technology would account for the apparent similarities between +UFOs and ghostly psi phenomena. + +Jenny Randles, for instance, suggests that UFOs are part of a +broadcast system from an alien civilization-signalling "by +'super-telepathy'-some kind of general galactic warning." My reading +of the Fatima phenomenon-and possibly some incidents in the early +history of Christianity-fits with this interpretation. + +2.) Another possibility is that UFOs are manifestations from another +"dimension" of reality-not from another civilization somewhere in our +physical universe. Several writers have suggested this; however, the +notion of extra-or ultradimensionality is somewhat vague and trades +mainly on analogies. Writers like Keel and Vallee speculate in this +way because they find the ET hypothesis untenable but accept the +compelling if strange reality of UFO phenomenon. + +Some ideas in recent physics embolden thinkers like Keel and Vallee to +speculate on alternate dimensions of reality being the clue to the ET +mystery. But as far as I can see, nothing in recent physics suggests +the real possibility that we inhabit a multiverse of civilizations. On +the other hand, Keel's "window" that separates us from the +ultradimensional universe is one I am curious to peer through. Instead +of physics, parapsychology might allow us to play the "dimension +game." + +3.) This brings us to another way we might solve the UFO-psi +equation. Let me sketch an idea of what I call the _ultradimensional +mind_. The first step is this: There is a clear sense in which each +human mind occupies its _own_ space _different_ from the public space +of the physical universe. (For example, my thoughts, dreams, memories, +fantasies, desires, and most of my sensations occupy their own logical +and phenomenal space, topologically distinct from the space of my +brain and body). In this inner or psychic sense, then, each human mind +is "ultradimensional." + +Now we can take the next step. Given the timeless, spaceless nature of +ESP and PK, perhaps some (or all) human minds form a system-a parallel +universe of mind, a distinct entity with its own properties. (Tom +Bearden calls it ZARG in his book "Excalibur Briefing".) It would be a +mind with properties distinct from its component minds, on the +assumption that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The +sum of human minds, united in a systematic whole, thus serves as a +model for the ultradimensional mind. Perhaps this is the entity that +holds the secret to the UFO mystery. + +We can call this the _psycho-terrestrial hypothesis_. It is an idea +that is related to Jung's collective unconscious. Two intriquing books +by Gregory Little also develop a similar approach: "The Archetype +Experience" and "The People of the Web." In this view, the wild medley +of UFO phenomena are the off-shoot of collective human psi function. +One thing in its favor-it is parsimonious. We have good evidence for +psi function-very little, if any, for the objective reality of +extraterrestrial spacecraft. + +So UFOs may be products of an ultradimensional psi-mediated, +psi-constituted factor. As against the ET hypothesis, I am slightly +inclined to favor it; yet I am far from convinced. By means of the +psycho-terrestrial hypothesis we can combine the dimension metaphor +with psi data and "save the phenomena." In other words, we can agree +that UFOs have objectivity, a measure of materiality, and external +agency, but not that they come from outer space. And since they are +part of our terrestrial history, we can start thinking about what they +mean. + +Let me wind up with a few thoughts on the hypothesis of +ultradimensional mind. + + CONCLUDING CROTCHETS + + +* Should it turn out that we have crashed saucers or bodies of ETs or +living ETs incarcerated on earth, it would show that at least some +types of UFO phenomena clash with our third hypothesis. + +* Landing gear marks, photos of UFOs, chemical changes in soil, radar +sightings, radioactive effects, and evidence for electro-mechanical +malfunction seem at the present stage of our knowledge ambiguous with +respect to the ET and PT (psycho-terrestrial) hypotheses. It could go +either way. + +It is possible to state conditions that render the latter at least +intelligible. + +a). We do not know the limits of psi ability, individual or +collective. The evidence suggests that we get what we expect, what we +believe is possible, and what slips past the grid of repression. (An +ultradimensional mind would be less inhibited.) + +b). We already have evidence for psychoid entities, which may account +for traces, photographs, and-at least in principle-all physical +effects. + +c). There is reason to believe that human psychic capacity manifests +in ways that are culture-specific. An "angel" is said to have pierced +the heart of Teresa of Avila, evidenced in her autopsy. Stigmata are +dramatic examples of culture-specific mediations of +auto-psychokinesis. Why then couldn't a "space alien" leave its +appropriate physical marks on a modern abductee? Or why couldn't an +ultradimensional intelligence leave landing gear marks or other +physical impressions designed to _look like_ traces of spacecraft? +Something like this might be happening with Bigfoot where we get +footprints but no feet. Indeed, Janet and Colin Bord's "Alien Animals" +suggests the family resemblance between a host of anomalies that may +emanate from the same ultradimensional mind. + +* This leads to my next point. To flesh out this hypothesis, that is, +to help us realize the range, plasticity, and potential immensity of +collective human psychic power, we need to place before our minds not +only the data of experimental parapsychology and the spontaneous case +collections of forteana and psychical research but also the +well-documented phenomena of saints, adepts, and gurus. For instance, +material meticulously studied by Herbert Thurston, Bollandists, and +recently Michael Murphy (in his forthcoming "The Future of the Body") +indicate a startling range of powers latent in human function. +Erlendur Haraldsson's recent study of Sai Baba ("Modern Miracles" ) +is another contemporary source of alleged astonishing human abilities +that may need to be figured into our hypothesis of an ultradimensional +mind. + +* Recent work on earthlights, brain physiology, and genetics suggest +new perspectives on UFO and psi manifestations. All this also needs to +be worked into the equation. The ultradimensional entity we are +hypothesizing would not only enjoy a life of its own, but it may also +function in a symbiotic relationship with the physical and historical +dynamics of the planet. Paul Devereux and Rupert Sheldrake have been +speculating along these lines, developing enriched models of the Gaia +hypothesis. + +* If there is an ultradimensional mind, related symbiotically to the +history of our species on earth, then we are entitled to ask what it +might mean for our spiritual history as well as for our evolutionary +future. Writers have already noted the relations between alien +humanoids and creatures of folklore, angels, fairies, and elementals. +Indeed, we may throw our net out further and catch a variety of +phantom-psychoid creatures as well as a clutch of gods and goddesses. +The link between Mary-goddess epiphanies and UFOs has been noted, of +course. The history of magic and religion may thus be seen as a +product of interactions with our shapeshifting, polymorphous +ultradimensional mind. + +* An interesting line of research in recent parapsy- chology shows +that psi is need-based and operates unconsciously. Our psi "organs" +sometimes unconsciously scan the environment, detecting aversive or +potentially useful stimuli, and direct our behavior accordingly. Rex +Stanford has developed what he calls the PMIR model-the notion of +psi-mediated instrumental response. + +Clinical studies by Montague Ullman and Jule Eisenbud show how this +sort of unconscious psi-mediated intentionality works. Now, if we +extrapolate the notion of unconscious intentionality from the +individual to the ultradimensional mind, it is easy to see how we as +individuals may be involved in curious interplay with this bewildering +entity. + +The important thing to remember is that the ultra-dimensional mind +probably has its own agenda; it may also be confused, hesitant, or +contrarian; it may have helpful, destructive, playful, or just +wasteful impulses and intentions. + +Since the ultradimensional mind at bottom is an expression of the +totality-plus of individual human minds, a thing of awful diversity, +glorious heights and hideous depths, we should not be surprised if it +displays both a dark and a bright side . + +So, sometimes it appears like a control system, sometimes like a +warning system, sometimes like a fiendish hoax; it seems to be +prodding us to evolve one day and self destruct the next; then again +it may seem to just want To amuse and divert us, like a capricious +artist doodling on a piece of scrap paper. + +The fact that we keep changing our minds about strange phenomena, that +inconsistency, ambiguity and uncertainty seem built into them, and for +that matter into all things religious, spiritual and meta-physical may +signify the inconsistency, ambiguity and uncertainty of our existence. + +** End of article ** + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Crash-ins, those beings who enter a +human body after the body has a near-death experience, are +Project-Ins.

But the one that is projected directly into the +human form is "human." + +when ETs project themselves into human forms, they become human, as +well: they acquire "dual citizenship." this can cause great distress; +they've just left a dimension where Limitation was not even a concept +and victims no more than a myth. and now they are here, suffering. +*but they wanted to be here.*; they really did. they knew how really +exciting it would be to participate in this planetary awakening.

So now you might be asking, what do these three have in common? + +Jone Victoria, the marketing director, and Sharon King, the therapist, say +they have been abducted by aliens. And Dr. John Mack is the Pulitzer Prize- +winning Harvard psychiatrist who has interviewed them and who believes them. +He has written a book called "Abduction." + +Now before we go crazy, before we go off our rocker, before we start thingking +about, 'Ooh,' let's confess. In the four years that we have been on the air, +we have never done a show about aliens. quite frankly, the reason is because a +lot of us are skeptical. But more and more people are relating incredibly +believable experiences. In fact, a recent poll says three million Americans-- +three million--believe that they have been abducted. I guess there is +something going on here, and that's why we're doing this show. + +We've also invited Sal Amendola, a professional illustrator, to sketch what +our guests are describing today to help us get a picture of their experiences. + +So let's start with June. June, when--Jone, when was the last time that you +had an experience, Jone? + +Ms. JONE VICTORIA (Says She Has Been Abducted By Aliens Throughout Her Life): +It was August 9th of this year. And I live in a very small town. And what +happened was, it got to be about 9:00, and I said to my son and a friend of +his that was staying overnight, Let's --let's get in the car. Let's go out for +ice cream. And what's so unusual about that particular thing is because +usually I'm in bed by 8:00, because we get up very early, at 4:00, in the +morning. But it was just like, go out, take the kids, let's go. + +POVICH: You had this urge to go out? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Just to go out. + +POVICH: And you had your son... + +Ms. VICTORIA: And a friend... + +POVICH: ...and his friend in the car? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Mm-hmm. About 16 years old. + +POVICH: And you've told this story to our production staff. + +Ms. VICTORIA: Yes. + +POVICH: And based on your story, we kind of recreated this trip you had in +your car, and this is how it went. + +Ms. VICTORIA: Two weeks ago, I was--took the kids out for ice cream. And we +were driving down this main road, and we looked up over the treetops and we +saw very close to the treetops this huge, like 600 feet long huge, triangular +ship with lights on all three points of the ship. You know, everthing in my +mind was saying, Is it--is it a plane? is it something the government did? Is +it a weather ballon? You know, what could it be? Because you're trying to make +sense out of it. You want to make sense out of it because you don't want to +believe what you're really seeing. + +POVICH: Now how did you know it was a ship? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Well, the first thing that struck me was, something was really +low to the tree line, and that particular sighting was over an overpass of an +expressway. We were on a main road at that point. And I looked up, the first +thing I did was I did this like Rolladex checlist in my mind. Is that a +helicopter, is that plane? It's too low. Because, you know, you're thinking +it's going to crash. And then I thought, 'No, it's--is that a balloon? Is it a +dirigible? You know, you go through everthing in you mind. At the same time, +my son, who was in the passenger seat, the front passenger seat... + +POVICH: How old is your son? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Almost 16--started--I can't repeat his language. He started +really swearing, like, 'What the hell is that?' And we realized that we put +the windows down, and it was totally silent. Now by this time, we are almost +directly underneath it. And I pulled over to the right, and the car behind me +pulled over to the right. So both of us were seeing the same--you know, he saw +something, I saw something. + +POVICH: And as I understand it, afterwards you had your son and his friend... + +Ms. VICTORIA: We followed it. + +POVICH: And they sketched what they saw? + +Ms. VICTORIA: They did. I took them home after the sighting, and--because I +wanted to see if they saw what I saw. So when we went home, I gave them paper, +and I said, 'I want both of you to sketch what you think you saw.' + +POVICH: And this is what they sketched. Independently they sketched the same +shape of a ship. + +Ms. VICTORIA: Same shape, with lights on all points. + +POVICH: Now let's go back. This isn't new to you, is it, Jone? + +Ms. VICTORIA: No. + +POVICH: Not at all? + +Ms. VICTORIA: No. + +POVICH: How long have you been seeing... + +Ms. VICTORIA: Over... + +POVICH: ...and being contacted by and basically in the company of what we +would consider aliens? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Over 40 years. That's a long time. + +POVICH: You have memories of childhood? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Yes. + +POVICH: And we have recreated one of your memories. So let's take a look at +that and see how you describe that. + +Ms. VICTORIA: My most vivide recollections I have is when I was six years old +playing in this backyard. And when I was playing, I was seeing five dogs two +yards down, kind of jumping over each other, and then they started immediately +to fight, and it got very nasty. And when I was playing here, I stopped and I +looked down at them, and I thought, 'I can read their mind. They are going to +attack me.' And I started running to the back door to get to my mother, and I +never got to the door, and the dogs were immediately on me and they were +attacking me. I remember at the time thinking, 'They're biting me, they're +hurting me,' and just screaming. I found out they weren't dogs at all. they +were very short aliens, very ugly type looking life forms. Just to be standing +here and looking at it all is emotionally--it's an overwhelming felling for me +right now. + +POVICH: Now let me ask you about this. This memory of yours, have you held +since childhood, or did you have to go under hypnosis to remember it? + +Ms. VICTORIA: I just--this year I went through regress-regression therapy with +Dr. Mack. Up until that point, I always thought, you know, oh, that was an +experience that happened to me. I could feel them... + +POVICH: Which you always throught you were around dogs and dogs were biting +you? + +Ms. VICTORIA: But, you know, when you--when yu say something like, 'Oh, I +could read dogs' minds,' I mean, think about that. That's totally illogical. +But I believed that, and I was afraid of dogs my whole life. + +POVICH: How did you know they were aliens? + +Ms. VICTORIA: When I went under regression therapy, I--Dr. Mack said somehting +very important to me. He said,'Look at the dogs, and are they dogs in your +neighborhood?' As soon as he said that to me, it was--I can't explain it, but +it was like a veil came off the masked memory, and I realized, 'Oh, my God, +those aren't dogs at all.' + +POVICH: Were these aliens that looked like dogs? + +Ms. VICTORIA: No. + +POVICH: What did they look like? + +Ms. VICTORIA: They were short. They were approximately three feet high, baybe +a little taller. It's hard to say because I was so little. + +POVICH: What did their faces look like? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Ugly. It just... + +POVICH: Were they like--was there one eye, two eyes? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Ugly like--it's almost as if--like I have on that particular +intelligence, I don't have any distinguishing features on their faces. I just +knew that they were very dark and very short. And I knew I closed my eyes. + +POVICH: With hair? Without hair? + +Ms VICTORIA: I can't say that they had hair, no. + +POVICH: There was one other recreation that we did of an experience that you +had. And as I--is this the one in the field? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Yes. + +POVICH: What happened there? Well, let's take a look and then we'll ask you +about it. + +Ms. VICTORIA: About four years ago, my partner Steve and I always would take +walks at night in the woods, you know, just before it got really dark. And it +was a way of unwinding after work. And we were coming back from the path to +the house, and we got to about here, and I became really disoriented to the +part that I had like this anxiety attack. I was very, very nervous, very +frightened. And it was then that I realized that I had been out here at night +looking up, and I realized I had either been left here or taken from here. +Something had happened her, and it had happened to me. + +POVICH: What do you remember happened then? + +Ms. VICTORIA: When I had the anxiety attack, I was only a few yards from my +house. And when it happened, I realized I couldn't evern find the path that +I'd known so well. And I got really like just almost in a fetal position. It +was really frightening for me. And I kept looking up like I was supposed to +see something. You know when you try to remember a dream and you get flashes +of it during the day? It was just like that. And I thought, 'Oh, my God. I +have been out here at night, taken from my home, from my bedroom. I've been +here in the middle of the night,' and that whole incident--I mean, it was just +terrifying for me. + +POVICH: You told all these to Dr. Mack, right? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Yeah. + +POVICH: What did you think about them in the beginning, Doctor? + +Dr. JOHN MACK (MD, Harvard Psychiatrist, Believes Alien Abduction Happens): +Well, I had worked with many people before I met Jone and was very familiar +with these accounts. And one of the things--points I want to make really clear +is that the people themselves are highly skeptical of their own experiences. +They--the last thing they want to know or hear is that the've had some +encounter that is mysterious with some sort of intelligence that--before which +the're helpless. And they, like myself, are highly skeptical about what this +is. But it's only when you hear these complex, detailed accounts from person +after person after person, people who are not in touch with each other, +reporting details that are not in the media, troubled by their experiences, +wanting to find any other explanation... + +POVICH: Right. + +Dr. MACK: ...after a while you begin to realize that there's a pattern here +that as a psychiatrist I can't explain. + +POVICH: OK. When we come back, Sharon shares with us the terror she feels when +she's had an encounter with an alien. + +(Announcements) + +POVICH: OK. We're back, and we want to hear Sharon's experiences. + +Maybe-by the way, you work as what , Sharon? + +Ms. SHARON KING (Says She Has Been Abducted By Aliens Throughout Her Life): +I'm a counselor. I work with recovering adult children from alcoholic and +dysfunctional families and sexual abuse survivors. + +POVICH: Good work. + +Ms. KING: Yes, it is. + +POVICH: Tell me about your experiences. Ongoing? + +Ms. KING: Ongoing since the age of perhaps five. Quite honestly, if someone +had said to me five years ago that I would be here today and I would be +dealing with this phenomenon, I would have said that they were crazy. + +POVICH: When did you realize finally that you had had these encounters? + +Ms. KING: Three years ago. + +POVICH: How many? + +Ms. KING: Three years ago. The memories started coming to me, not through +hypnosis, but through a therapeutic technique where it's very meditative and +you breathe into your experience. And then one day as I was going through a +process, the visions started to come to me. And when I was in where I was--the +three alien beigns coming toward me. + +POVICH: what did they look like? + +Ms. KING: They were very much like what Jone was describing. They were about +three feet tall, a grayish hue to them with fairly large heads and very big +penetrating eyes. + +POVICH: Let me interrrupt here. Gray is an experience--is a name, as I +understand it, the many... + +Ms. KING: Right. + +POVICH: ...not only of your patients, Doctor, but many why have had this +experience use. Gray. Gray--is that the color? Is that the felling you get or +what? + +Ms. KING: For me, it's the color. I also see some bluish ones where they are +gray, but they also have a bluish tint and they are a little bit taller. + +POVICH: We have an audio tape. + +Ms. KING: Right. + +POVICH: You are under hypnosis at this point? + +Ms. KING: Right. + +POVICH: Let's listen to this audio tape. + +Unidentified Woman #1: (From audio tape) Who is touching you? + +Ms. KING: ...(unintelligible) + +Woman #1: Have they experimented? + +Ms. KING: I don't know what they've done. I think they've taken more ovum. I'm +not sure. It hurts. The pain. + +POVICH: They've--and you're saying they've taken more what? + +Ms. KING: More ovum. Part of my memory involves memories of them having taken +ovum from me. Also... + +POVICH: Ovum--get--what is it? I don't know. Refreshy my... + +Dr. Mack: Eggs. + +POVICH: Eggs--eggs from the ovary. + +POVICH: Oh, eggs. Ok. If you would have said eggs, I would have known. Ovum. +My mom didn't teach me that word. + +Ms. KING: And I also have memory of having a fetus taken from me, and that was +part them, part us--is what I refer to it as. + +POVICH: Didn't you have a memory also of a son being abducted? + +Ms. KING: Yes. That was probably one of the most painful things that I did +remember. Again, that was not under hypnosis that I got the memory. And I know +that my son and I have been taken together on several different times. I'm not +really sure. My son is now 18. He has no memory of that. + +POVICH: Same beings? + +Ms. KING: Same beings. + +POVICH: Why would she have a memory, her son doesn't? + +Dr. Mack: Well, memory is a very complex process. I mean, one of the reasons +people don't remember--it's protective not to remember those kind of +terrifying experiences. You can't go around carrying that kind of terror with +you on a day-to-day basis. A child, for example, that's been through the +terror of bing taken up on to a ship or whatever this is--it would afflict +that child's whole childhood if they were--if they were not protected in some +way from recalling the experience. + +POVICH: When we come back, Dianne will join us and we'll hear her experiences. +Dianne believes she's had sex with an alien. + +(Announcements) + +POVICH: We're taling with people who say they have had encounters with aliens, +they've been abducted at times. My guests today are very convincing. + +Dianne is an executive in the computer industry. She's had visitations for the +past five years. How often? + +DIANNE (Says She Has Yearly Encounters With Alien Beings): They were once a +year until last fall. Now they are every couple of weeks. + +POVICH: Now let's get to my teasing out of the last segment and getting us to +here. You've had sex with them? + +DIANNE: Let's get it over with. + +POVICH: Yeah. Let's talk about it. + +DIANNE: It's true. It was terrorizing experience that I had last December. It +was my fifth yearly experience, the secound which I had the courgage to turn +around and take a look at what was going on. The--it was waking up in the +middle of an experience that was already occurring, and it was in my room in +my home in Massachusetts. And there were some movements of an arm over my +chest really fast. And I had had, you know, many years of experiences, and the +year before, I had seen something else. So I kept quiet. + +POVICH: Were you able to see a shape? + +DIANNE: I just saw an arm, and I kept quiet, making like I wan't going to open +my eyes totally, because I felt that if I opened my eyes and they found out I +was awake, they would black me out, which they do. And I wanted to see what +was going on. And I sure did. A face came right on to mine within inches of a +small, dark gray being, and we stared at each other for three seconds. + +POVICH: A dark gray being? + +DIANNE: Yes. I very clearly saw the face. + +POVICH: Eyes? + +DIANNE: Yes. + +POVICH: Two eyes? + +DIANNE: It had almond-shaped eyes that were not from here to here. They were +not as slanted as other ones I've drawn. They were slightly slanted, +oversized. There was two holes where the nose would be and a little bone that +stuck out and a mouth that seemed in a grim, 'I do not like you,' position. I +felt tlike I --like that face didn't care whether I lived or died. It was +very, very frightening. It then came away, realizing I was awake, got out of +my sight to the right. I realized there was a second one of the same size and +color there, but I couldn't move my head. They started screeching. I think it +had upset them that I was conscious. + +POVICH: An audible screech? + +DIANNE: Screeching. + +POVICH: Words... + +DIANNE: Like mice. It sounded like mice. It was--it was like animals. It was-- +just added to the terror of the experience. So I'm not--I'm not with humans. +This thing was really ugly. I have never seen anything like this before. It's +not human. Now all of a sudden, through the doorway of my room, comes a white +being that was slightly taller. It comes in and crawls to the foot of my bed, +crouches down and looks at me, right down the top of me. And all that went +through my mind was to take in the face as much as I could, and what the heck +is this thing going to do to me? I thought--I knew I was going to get +attacked. I have never been in the presence of anyone--any man who has meant +me harm, and for that split second, I fell that I may have experienced the +real terror of going to get abused. And he tilted his head. When he saw my-- +you know, the horror on my face--tilted his head, crawled up the bed and +touched his face to my cheek. And as soon as he did that, I wasn't afraid +anymore. I am not saying I didn't--I'm not saying I wanted those things in my +room, but it was like I was immediately in lala-land. And not liking it, but +just being totally like drugged out and--and like going along. And it was--the +rest of the experience was a length one, which I really don't wasnt to +discuss. + +POVICH: It was sexual? + +DIANNE: It was definitely sexual. It was almost like what kept happening was, +he was--he was playing little reels of past experiences I had had with my ex- +husband, a sexual encounter with my husband--like playing it back. And then +I'd said, 'No,no.' I know that what I just saw, some people in my room So I'd +snap out of it and see this thing--he was laying on me. And he kept trying to +get me to like relive another sexual encounter. So I can't be sure if he was +having sex with me. All I know was that he was definitely lying on top of me, +and he felt featherlight, which was even more creepy. He couldn't have weighed +30 pounds. + +POVICH: Questions? Yes. + +Unidentified Woman #2: For the woman in the blue, is it difficult to be +intimate with you boyfriend after this experience? + +Ms. VICTORIA: Sure. Yeah. + +POVICH: Well, let's move... + +Ms VICTORIA: It's not something--I mean, it's not something I really--I really +discuss because... + +POVICH: Let's move to Dianne, because your experiences did have an effect on-- +on your life, didn't they? + +DIANNE: My life is--someone just did this. I mean, my parents told me... + +POVICH: Your marrigage broke up? + +DIANNE: My marriage is over. + +POVICH: And now you have, as I understand it, a fiance who is supportive-- +doesn't believe it, but is supportive? + +DIANNE: Yes. He's wonderful. He doesn't believe it. He doesn't really--he +doesn't like it when I come down the stairs the next mornign--you know, he +comes out of the shower... + +POVICH: What's he going to think if you come on national television and talk +about it? + +DIANNE: He--he's one of those incrediable people that --I think he's an angel +because I don't think that there's anyone out htere who doesn't believe that +would be as supportive. But he--he thinks I may have repercussions. He is more +concerned over--I'm going to get ridiculed like crazy fro doing this, but why +I'm talking about it? I'm not holding this in. Some nasty stuff is going on, +and I'm not going to keep quiet about it. And I'm hoping that I don't lose +friends or job over this. I don't think I will, because I've done some things- +-so far so good, but I don't know about now. + +Dr. MACK: One of the points I want to emphasize, each of these women--and I +admire enormously their courage for being willing to go--speak publicly about +this, because I think that the American people and people around the world +need to realize that something--even though we don't understand it, that we-- +somehting that we can't explain is going on here that needs to be looked at +realistically and not sort of ridiculed or try to reduce to some conventional +explanation. + +POVICH: When we come back, a woman who has proof of an alien encounter. She +caught it on videotape, she claims. + +Ms. DEBBIE JORDAN (Says An Alien Encounter Changed Her Life): (From videotape) +What's that--what's that light? What is that in the road? What is that? + +Unidentified Man #1: I don't know. + +(Announcements) + +POVICH: These days more and more people are coming forward admitting that +they've had encounters with aliens. Debbie Jordan is one of these people. +She's written a book about her experiences called "Abducted," although she +admits that she is sometimes a little skeptical herself. Also joining us is +Dr. William Cone. He is a clinical psychologist. Hes says that there is a +rational explanaiton for everything that we've heard so far. Your last +experience was--was when, Debbie? + +Ms. DEBBIE JORDAN: September of '93. + +POVICH: OK. What happened? + +Ms. JORDAN: Well, we were watching TV one night, my late husband and a couple +house guests, and I saw a light outside the front of the house. We live on a +farm. And we all went running out to see what it was. At first I thought it +had to be a helicopter that had a spotlight on that was just coming towards me +and made it look brighter. But I kept watching it, and it was doing funny +things, so I hollered for everybody. We all went outside. My husband went back +in and tot the video camera, and the videotape--you know, it's not too +terribly impressive, I didn't think. But at least it was there. We saw it. And +at some points it looked like my husband got it brighter by using the zoom on +the camera, but he wasn't. + +POVICH: OK. Let's take a look at it and we'll see what happened on the tape. +In other words, as it gets brighter, he didn't do anything to the camera? + +Ms. JORDAN: No. + +POVICH: OK. + +(The following is from Jordan's videotape) + +Unidentified Girl: Mama, what's that? + +Ms. JORDAN: What's that--what's that light in the d--what's that in the road? +What is that? + +Man #1: I don't know. + +Girl: Is that a doggy? + +Man#1: Got a--got something in the road here standing in the raod. Do you +think that's real? + +Ms. JORDAN: It's something. + +Unidentified Woman #3: Ther ain't no damn way--this is weird. There is an +airplane above it. See the airplane above it just... + +Ms. JORDAN: Yes. + +Woman #3: ...a little bit to the west of it? + +Ms. JORDAN: Yes. + +Woman #3: Look at it. + +(End of excerpt from videotape) + +POVICH: We don't see much there. + +Ms. JORDAN: You don't--it--the--the tape is quite long. In the beginning there +is more where it gets really bright. But at one point we saw something coming +down the road toward us walking on the road out in the country. + +POVICH: Do you remember what that looked like? + +Ms. JORDAN: It was about a head taller than the fence post, however tall that +is. The head was shaped like a lightbulb, and it was real thin. And I though-- +I told myself, 'That's got to be an animal. That's a deer or something.' + +POVICH: You don't want to believe these things? + +Ms. JORDAN: Well, I got to live here. I got--you know, I got kids to raise. I +got responsibilities. It doesn't fit in with what I know is our kind of +reality. + +POVICH: And yet you've had experiences? + +Ms. JORDAN: I've had a bunch, and I've always tried to... + +POVICH: Not just seeing them? + +Ms. JORDAN: No. I've always tried to rationalize everything away. You know, +after this happened, I had a hysterectomy. I had a hysterectomy six days after +this happened. Before this happened, I had an ultrasound and tow other doctors +examined me, and they said I had a tumor. After the hysterectomy was +performed, I had all kinds of horrible things wrong with me. They couldn't +save anything. The doctor's exact words were, my female organs were trashed. +But the tumor wasn't there. + +POVICH: And you can't explain it? + +Ms. JORDAN: I can't explain it. I know what it seems like, and I don't want to +believe that. + +POVICH: What you want to believe is that these beings had an effect on that? + +Ms. JORDAN: I want to--I don't want to believe that, but it seems that way to +me, you know. + +POVICH: All right, Dr. Cone. Here you are. + +Dr. WILLIAM CONE (Ph.D., Believes Abductees Are Mistaken About Their +Experiences): OK. + +POVICH: Convincing? To some people. To many people, these stories are very +convincing. + +Dr. CONE: Absolutely. Well, let me say a couple things aobut what's going on +right now in this country and something that I think is really dangerous. +Right now we have thousands of people who are coming to therapy, going to a +therapist who does regressive hypnosis and recovering memories, either satanic +ritual abuse memories, alien abduction memories or memories of multiple +personality. The people come with the same kind of symptoms, the same kind of +stories, sexual problems, sexual dysfunctions, sleep disorders, creatures that +come in the night. If you got to a satanic ritual abuse therapist and get +regressed hypnotically, what you're going to get is satanic ritual abuse +memories. If you go to an alien abduction therapist, you're going to get alien +abduction memories. What comes out is highly function of the belief system of +the doctor that's working on the patient. I think this is dangerous. + +POVICH: So is it the doc--is it the doctor that's doing this to you or is it +you who is seeking comfort with the doctor? + +Dr. CONE: It's not--it's not really the doctor that's doing it to you. And by +the way, I'm not saying this is true in all cases. + +Ms. JORDAN: It's not true in my case at all. + +Dr. CONE: And I don't want to dispute that, but... + +Dr. MACK: I can't speak for all doctors. I know that this was the furthest +thing from my belief system when I--this--it was the power of the data that +changed the way I looked at this, not any belief system I had. + +POVICH: And the data to you are the stories. I mean, because your friend--for +instance, Carl Sagan in--The New York--New York Times Magazine did a story on +Dr. Mack, and it quoted Carl Sagan, who we know is the famous astronomer, and +Carl Sagan, who's a friend of his, says the problem is all this information +is, quote, 'anecdotal.' It's stories. Ther is no solid... + +Dr. MACK: Yeah. You've got to watch the buzz words here in the resistance to +this phenomenon. Anecdotal is translated as human experience. + +Ms. JORDAN: But what about physical evidence? + +Dr. MACK: But we have--there is physical evidence. + +Ms. JORDAN: I have... + +Dr. MACK: We don't have anything but human experience to go on. If we're going +to call that anecdotal, we're nothing but anecdotes. Thats all we are. + +Ms. KING: If I can't trust my human experience, what can I trust? + +Dr. CONE: Well, the difficulty with that is a lot of us can't trust our human +experiences. And I'm--I'm not saying all these people are msitaken. And, by +the way, I didn't have any investment, any belief system, when I started +working with this. I think one of the things that I have been able to +experience is--being a clinical psychologist, I've worked with satanic abuse +people and alien abductees, and I find a great deal of parallel in the +populations. They're very similar. The work is very similar. The way the +memories are recovered is very simailar. And--and I can't help but think that +at least in part a lot of these people are coming--are being led to believe +this is happening to them when, in fact, it isn't. + +Ms. JORDAN: Nobody leads me to believe what happened to me. + +Ms. VICTORIA: And I resent this inference of satanic ritual with our +experience. You know, with all due respect, Doctor, you've never seen me, +we've never spoken, you know nothing of me, you know nothing of these people. + +Dr. CONE: Absolutely not. And I'm not disputing your experience. + +Ms. VICTORIA: For you to bring up something so--I mean, absolutely +diametrically opposingly different thing with UFO experiences and satanic +rituals... + +Dr. CONE: The only thing that's different is the memories that come out from +your unconscious. + +Dr. MACK: Also, let me make a point here. Dr. Cone is trying to find a +psychological explanation here. And even if the psychological explanation had +some plausibility, you have to keep in mind that this phenomenon occurs in +children as young as two and three years old who have not had the opportunity +to develop these psychological structures. It also is related to physical +findings on people's bodies--cuts, scoop marks, lesions, which are highly +detailed. + +Dr. CONE: Which is also ...(unintelligible) to satanic abuse victims. + +Dr. MACK: Well-- but then you're--that doesn't make it not true if it's +similar to somehting else. And also the tight association with UFOs, which are +observed independently by neighbors, and, in one case of my own, a woman had +the experience, did notsee the UFO, and then there was--followed in the media +by all the televison channels a UFO that was following the same course of +where she had been. And that occurs in case after case after case where you +have the community, the television media, spotting, following tracking a UFO. +The person themselves doesn't know about the UFO being seen, and they're +having the experience. A psychological explanaiton simply won't hold up when +you have this independent kind of witnessing. + +POVICH: Recently another word has come into our life. It is called Roswell. +What happened in Roswell, New Mexico--how many years ago--in 1947? Was that +real? We have the man who wrote the book about it, after this. + +(Announcements) + +POVICH: Yeah. + +Unidentified Woman#4: I have a question for the psychiatrist. I would like to +know why do they keep visiting the same people over and over? A second +question is, are there male and female aliens? + +Dr. MACK: What they do is establish a relationship with somebody, and this +goes on from--sometimes people have memories from their earliest childhood +throughout their entire lives. Some kind of connection, some kind of +relationship between this energy, these beings, this species, whatever this +is. We don't have words for it. But it goes on throughout the person's life, +and what they tell us and what the beings communicate, and it's--all the +communication is telepathic. It's not in English or French or German. + +POVICH: Let's clear that up. + +Dr. MACK: Yeah. + +POVICH: You don't hear English being spoken to you, do you? + +Ms. KING: What do you mean? Verbally? + +POVICH: Yeah. + +Ms. KING: I hear what they're saying, and the only way, of course, I can hear +it is in English. + +POVICH: Oh, I see. + +Ms. KING: So I do hear, but it's all telepathic. You don't... + +POVICH: So they communicate with you and then you kind of filter it through +and it comes out in English? + +Dr. MACK: It's mind direct. Mind to mind. What they say is... + +POVICH: Male and female? + +Dr. MACK: And the --the people--it's very interesting. + +POVICH: That's a yes? + +Dr. MACK: The experiencers know male and female, but not in the conventional +way, becasue they have, you know, long hair or short hair or--you know, the +know because they sense that a being is female or male. + +POVICH: OK. Now what role does the government play when it comes to alien +encounters? This is why Kevin Randall is here, a special investigator with the +Center for UFO Studies. He's just written a book called "The Truth About the +UFO Crash at Roswell." It was an entire show in itself, by the way, your +investigation--not only a book but on Showtime. And I watched it and +fascinated by it. But this goes to something else, because Roswell was a +nuclear facility, correct? + +Mr. KEVIN RANDALL (Investigated UFO Crash in Roswell, New Mexico): It was the +only atomic strike force in the world at the time. When this event took place, +the 518 bomb group was the only atomic strike force in the world. + +POVICH: And there was a crash of a UFO? + +Mr. RANDALL: A crash of an alien spacecraft. + +POVICH: In 1947? + +Mr. RANDALL: We have no idea. All we know is there's an alien spacecraft, they +crashed, the bodies were recovered by the government and the whole thing was +covered up. We can prove there was a crash at Roswell by the preponderance of +the evidence. We can prove there was a cover-up. + +POVICH: And by the way, you believe, A, the remains of that craft are still +being hidden by the government? + +Mr. RANDALL: Absolutely. + +POVICH: And the remains of the beings? + +Mr. RANDALL: Absolutely. You don't destroy a unique biological sample. + +POVICH: And that they were taken, placed somewhere, and to this day could be +retrieved? + +Mr. RANDALL: They were taken from the crash site in Roswell, transferred to +the base at Roswell. One airplane went to Andrews Army Air Field, later +Andrews Air Force Base, so that the top level of the government could see it. +Eventually it all ended up at Wright Paterson Air Force Base. + +POVICH: And what is the officail explanation of the government? + +Mr. RANDALL: The offical explanation, it was a weather balloon, although now +there's a new... + +POVICH: A weather balloon? + +Mr. RANDALL: A weather balloon, a raw-wind target balloon if you want to be +precise, although there's a new explanation coming out. It was really a top- +secret project mogul balloon. All they've done is reinvent the balloon. + +POVICH: We'll be back right after this. + +(Announcements) + +Unidentified Woman#5: I wanted--I wanted to know from Sharon, you said +something about a fetus being taken from you? Were you in--I don't want to say +in real life, to separate the two, but from your knowledge were you pregnant +or had you taken a pregnancy test and then you maybe had a miscarriage or +something of that sort? + +Ms. KING: That's really great. I'm glad you asked the question because I had +had a miscarriage previous to that. So I knew what a real miscarriage was +like. And I was probably about two and a half months pregnant when my husband +and I went to a farm in New Hampshire. And what happened was night--one night +was that the room became filled withlight. And then I was taken out, and what +I remember is the fetus being taken from me. And I have always said whenever I +went to a doctor, you know, they say, 'How many times pregnant?' I've always +said I lost tow babies. + +POVICH: And when you wentto the doctor after this experience, what did they +say? + +Ms. KING: I was just bleeding very heavily. My period didn't come at its +normal time or anything like that. + +Unidentified Man #2: We have been hearing all bad things. Have there ever been +any dood or pleasant experiences? + +Ms. KING: Absolutely. Absolutely. + +POVICH: There have been? + +Ms. KING: Yeah. I've had some very wonderful--as John was talking about, the +relationship you can develop through some of the memory. I know I have a +special relationship with one who I all Blue, who's taught me a great deal +about fear, aobut energy and about the situation that they are in, the +situation that we are in, and why they, in fact, are trying to combine the two +races. We have things they don't have, and they have things that we don't +have. + +POVICH: Let's talk about this Kevin, Dr. Mack. They are not of this world, +obviously, these beings. Are they of this solar system? Probably not. + +Dr. MACK: I mean, that's the sort of the biggest question, is what is the +source of this experience? We don't know. + +POVICH: And as we go farther out in our solar system and we see that +they're... + +Dr. MACK: We don't know. We dont know. They don't operate according to the +physical laws as--as we have know them. They enter into our space-time +universe in ways that we don't understand. We don't--Jack Lalay has decided +they come from some other dimension. The experiencers will say, 'You don't +understand this, Doctor, but I am--this is not happening in our space-time +universe,' when they are describing what's going on. + +POVICH: You believe they are from this galaxy? + +Mr. RANDALL: They're from this galaxy outside this solar system. Clearly there +is no place in this solar system where they could have developed. + +POVICH: Yeah. + +Unidentified Man #3: When I was younger, I had a fever of 103. My brother +appeared to be a frog. And I really thought, you know, he moved like a frog. +He didn't speak to me, but now... + +POVICH: In your delirium that's what you thought? + +Man #3: Delirium. Now I think that--that waht all you witnesses are--are +seeing and felling and talking to is just a void in your own lives. + +DIANNE: One isolated--one isolated case... + +Ms. JORDAN: What about he marks in my yard? How did a void cause a mark in my +yard that lasted five years and kill my dog and make me sick? + +DIANNE: One isolated case. I agree. I have had over the last eight months +experiences that do not get separated by more than two weeks, and even myself- +-even after the December incident last year, I still--I broke down crying +about it at a support group, and I went back to the work the next day and I +said--I didn't want to push that out of my mind. But they came after me and +they continued to come to my house to the point where I am so saturated with +visitations that I have no choice anymore. It's not an isolated case. It's +eight months. + +Dr. MACK: See, this young man is illustrating what we try to do. We try to +find a conventional explanation for a mystery. It doesn't make any sense. I +mean, sure, there is such a thing as what he's describing, which is a delirium +when you have a high fever and you see things and you hallucinate. This is +nothing like that.

FILE: UFO2265 + + + +Hello UFO-Fans out there! +I think you heared about the "Philadelpia-Experiment"? If not, a short +description: in 1943 the U.S.Navy made an experiment in Philadelphia / USA +under the leadership of Albert Eintein. They used Einsteins "Unified field +theory". This theory unifies electric, magnetic and gravity (!!!) fields. +School physics till today denie a relationship between electromagnetic and +gravity-fields. During this experiment a ship was made unvisible AND it +was teleported too. It ended absolutely terrible for the men on this ship. +U.S.Navy public-affairs-office denies the experiment at all. School physics +denies Eintein's unified-field-theory, because Einstein took it back himself. +He sayed, that it would be "unfinished"... Bud it may be, that Einstein did +it, because he saw the great danger for the whole world, if military would +use it without scruple. Imagine what would happen, if we would transform +gravity-energy into elecric-energy in a great style... For instance earth- +rotation would slow down!!! +Mr. Brown used this unified-field-theory too. It started, when he did ex- +periments with his coolidge-tube (an early x-ray-tube). He saw, that the +tube was moving, when he turned on the high-voltage-supply. Bud this couldn't +be, because after school-physics, there are only forces between both conden- +ser-plates, bud NOT between a whole condenser and the gravity-field of the +earth. Later, when he was studying, he made experiments with his Professor, +Mr. Bifeld. Their work was known as "BIFELD-BROWN-EFFECT". They discovered, +that a condenser moves to the positive pole, if you connect it to a high- +voltage DC-supply... +In the early 50ths they made a demonstration at the US-defense-ministry with +60cm diametre - condensers, that could carry more then their own wight at +a speed of 180 m/s!!! They used a 50000 Volt power-supply and needed only +50 Watts! After this demonstration their work became the status of a No.1 +military-secret. Mr. Bifeld is still alife,bud he can't leave his home, +because he's under permanent observation ofdifferent US - intelligence - +agencies... Mr. Brown died under unknown circumstances... +Imagine, if this would be the force, UFOs are using... If they would make +a complement gravity-field, they could fly manoeuvres, a jet-fighter could +never make, because of the very high gravity-forces. A humanoid inside of +such an UFO wouldn't register anything of these forces, because he is in +his own gravity-field! +And now remember the reports of those people, who saw UFOs. Everyone tells +you, that they can stop at once from very high speed. Normally a humanoid +couldn't survive this - only if he would have it's own gravity-field... +Me and some friends of mine made one of Brown's early experiments. We took +a PCB-board and made a condenser on one side. Then we rested it vertically +on two wires and connected it to the power-supply of a PC-Monitor... +Believe me, the condenser moves to the positive pole. Two of my friends +are physicans and they computed the forces on the condenser. It is a fact, +that this macroscopic effect is not to be explain with our known physics! +Try it yourself!!!!! +And tell it everyone who is interested in. Because if it would be true, that +this effect is one of the best cept secrets of the world (for over 50 years!) +the only way to save your health and maybe life is to report your experiences +to as much people as you can... I do so. +Live long and prosper! + + + + + + + + +ALTERNATIVE SCIENCES REPLY. +HI saw your bull asking about antigravity,free energy ect, +It was 15 years ago when I used to go down to the town of mortimer in the +county of berkshire I was introduced to a one Mr John.R.R.SEARL.What mr +searl had invented was a "ether-vortex-tubine generator" and he had in fact +develope a saucershaped commercial aircraft. +The principal of it is allegedly that,when a metal annulus is rotated at +sufficent speed,the conduction electrons are displaced outwards by +centrifugal force,so producing a very intense negative charge on the outside +perimeter and a positive charge on the inside. +The rotating electric field so obtained can be tapped by indution coils +around the annulus to provide current for electromagnets placed in a electric +motor arrangement around the annulus so as to drive the annulus,thus producing +a feedback effect resulting in very intense electric and magnetic fields. +when the electric potential is about 10 14 volts, this being conducted to a +metal hull around around the annulus,shielding from both gravity and inertia +is obtained. because of the shape of the rotor and the need to maximize the +charge on the hull, the best shape of hull is like two saucers clamped +together at very sharp edge.Directional control is obtained by use of flight +coils to produce assymetry in the (force field)". + + From a private letter of Mr C.B. Wynniatt + Professional Engineer + 25 commins street Onerahi,Whangarei, + New zealand. + The Ether Vortex Turbine by j.r.r. searl,england. + The Barret Report + issued by P.L. Barret Bsc. +In 1949, Mr J.R.R. Searl was employed by the midlands electricity board as a +electronic and electrical fitter. He was enthutsiastic about the subject of +electricity,though he had no formal education on the subject other than what +i required by the job.Unhindered by conventional ideas about electricity, he +carried out his own investigation into the subject. during work on electrical +motors and generators,he noticed that asmall EMF electo magnetic field,was +produced by spinning metal parts-the negative towards the outside and positive +towards the rotatioal axis.In 1950 he experimented with rotating slip rings +and mesured a small EMF on a conventional meter. +He also noticed that when the rings were spinning freely and no current was +taken,his hair bristled. +His conclusions were that free electrons in the metal were spun out by +centrifugal force, a centripetal force being produced by the static field in +the metal.He decided to build a generator based on the principal. It had a +segmented rotor disc,passing through electromagnets at its periphery. the +electromagnets were energized from the rotor,and were intended to boost the +EMF. By 1952 the first generator had been contructed and was about three feet +in diameter. It was tested in the open by searl and a friend, The armature +was set in motion by a small engine.The device produced the expected +electricalpower, but at a unexpectedly high potential. at relativly low +armature speeds a potential of the order of 10 5 (ten to the power of five) +was produced, as indicated by the static effects on near objects. A +characteristic crackling and the smell of ozone supported his conclusion. +The relly unxpected then occured.While still speeding up the generator lifted +and rose to a hight of fifty feet,breaking the union between itself and the +engine. Here it stayed for a while still speeding up and surrounding itself +with a pink halo,this indicated ionization of the air at a much reduced +pressure of about 1-3 mm Hg.More interesting was the side effect,causing +local radio recivers to go on on their own accord! This could have been due +to ionizing disharge electromagnetic induction.Finally and perhaps thankfully +the whole generator accelerated at a fantastic rate and is thought to have +gone off into space.Since that day Searl had made some 10 or more small +flying craft some of whitch have been similary lost,and developed a form of +control.Larger craft have also been built - some 12 ft and two 30ft in dia. +The antics of his machines have given rise to much speculation as to the +origin of so called "flying saucers" specially in the area of warminster in +wilshire. +One wonders why searl has not come to the notice of scientists and the public +at large. The fact is that "he has;but for fear of being ridiculed,people +keep the knowlege or interest to themselves. the public has been educated +to scoff at the subject of flying saucers and the reported behavior of the +things cannot be explained on current scientific theory. +Such " difficult to explain" topics( as with telepathy,dowsing,homeopathic +healing,ect) must be given the "no comment" treatment so not to upset the +uncertain structure of present scientific theory. Searl"s records do show +however that his efforts have not gone unnoticed. Goverment departments +and people of all classes and education know about him. Some have attempted +to steal the idea, but their thinking along the lines electromagetic theory +and the law of conservation of mass and energy,has misled themor confused +them.This narrow thinking has made many to conclude that searl is a crank or +imposter. Also some are prejudiced in their attitude that new ideas are the +prerogative of a hierarchy of intellectuals. +It is suppected that searl is to come up with something more momentous than +his games with power lines and the unsupecting motorist. In that event, the +covensional thinker must br ready to adapt the searl effect into existing +theory. or chance the alternative fate of a compleat disruption revisal of +physical theory-from ampere,galvani,and volta onwards. Any theory must +explain these verious phenomena,some of whitch have been observed by searl +himself and some by the general public. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

I would like to make a few observations if I may. + +I have heard that the US has a hanger full of UFO's or at least one UFO. + +(1) I have great scepticism about UFO reportings. However, I have read +enough and heard enough reports from truly credible witnesses, that I must +confess to a certain respect for the possibility that they do exist. + +(2) From a totally different perspective, I wonder why people should find +the idea of extra terrestrial beings so hard to accept? I believe that it is +totally unreasonable to believe that beings do not or could not exist on +other solar systems. + +(2) First off, the statistics would guarantee that there would be millions of +suitable planets for life in our Galaxy alone. + +(3) Of all the scientific theories I have heard about the origin of man, the +least "scientific" conclusion is that it all happened as an accident of +Nature. Then things started to get a little complicated and beautifully +integrated... all by accident! Mr Darwin was an astute in his observation +of a grand organisation in nature. The whole idea of his origins of species, +however, is so devoid of any shred of proof. He certainly provided none, +that i can hardly believe the scientific community ever seriously considered +it. That it is currently popularly accepted is a telling comment on the +ability of people to believe the absurd in place of any original thought. +This is, unfortunately, common in popular scientific thought (ie. it has been +"proven" that the bumble bee cannot fly.) + +(4) Things are so beautifully integrated and complicated in the biological +world alone; That any appeal to other than intelligent creation begs reason. +If, then, man were placed on Earth intentionally by a benevolent man, being, +God, or what ever, then why would he stop at Ear +th? +I firmly believe there are people that re-define the meaning of distant +relatives. Could they possibly visit the Earth? Why not? Some say God did. +That is assuming that God does exist of course. +Why would they be benevolent? Why not? Would they mess with our human +civilisation? I doubt it. Could they make mistakes and crash here? +Why not, we do! + +Now let me say this about these UFO's that are supposed to be in this hangar +in the US. Nothing has been said by any one, except the guesses made, and the +stories that fly about mean nothing. There is nothing that can be kept so +secret as a so called space craft from another world. Some one some where +would leak this information to the world some how. It is too big a story for +Christ sake! And sure as eggs is eggs these intelligent beings aint going to +knock on the door of the White House or 10 Downing street, the Kremlin or +what ever, and say "Would you look after us old man, our space craft has gone +and broken down?"

Published +quarterly with a subscription rate of $14/yr. 815-734-1103.) + + World renowned UFO researcher Jacques Vallee has repeatedly +referred to the similarities between UFO and abduction reports and the +stories of folklore and fairy tales. I disagree with Dr. Vallee on +many, many points of UFOlogy, but here I will grant that there is one +fairy tale which does have something important to tell us about the +alien abduction phenomenon. It is not, however, what Dr. Vallee might +think. + The story of Hansel and Gretel presents a lesson that every +abductee should heed. These innocent children, wandering lost and +frightened in the forest, came upon a gingerbread house that seemed to +offer them shelter and sustenance. The owner of the house, a wizened +old woman, was frightening to them at first, but their hunger pushed the +children to accept her offer to come inside and be fed. + And so they entered the gingerbread house and promptly became the +old woman's captives. Kept in cages, the two children were abundantly +fed. It was not for their benefit, though. In fact, they were being +fattened up for the oven! The deceptive nature of the gingerbread house +and of the old woman's offer of food worked quite well. + It is the deceptive quality of this story that holds a warning for +humans who are abducted by aliens. Like Hansel and Gretel, we are +initially terrified by our encounter with aliens, but in too many cases, +our fear is overcome by the words of our abductors and by the thoughts +and experiences they present to us. + I, too, am an abductee, and my quest to discover the nature of my +own experiences led me into abduction research over the past four years. +Working with many other abduction cases, I have learned just how basic +the deception of alien actions can be. + My family and I also delved into our own experiences, both past and +present. Barbara Bartholic, a dedicated UFO investigator from Tulsa, +Oklahoma, worked closely with us and helped us fill in the gaps in our +recollections of strange encounters through hypnotic regression. Ms. +Bartholic, by the way, began her own research as an assistant to Jacques +Vallee in cattle mutilation investigations, so her expertise in ufology +is wide-ranging. I have recently written a book, Into the Fringe, about +the startling and often disturbing results of our personal +investigations, and it will be published by the Berkley Publishing Group +in November 1992. + But my interest soon expanded past the merely personal, and for the +past several years I have worked as Ms. Bartholic's research associate, +exploring literally hundreds of sighting and encounter cases with her. +And what I've learned through this work has raised far more questions +than answers. In fact, it has taught me to be wary of those researchers +who do claim to have answers. I have yet to hear of a single theory or +explanation that accounts for all of the data. + Some researchers have pointed out patterns of events in the +abduction experience, such as the physical examination, the taking of +sperm and ova, and the later presentation of a hybrid baby to the +abductee. Other patterns include the training of the abductee in some +way and the delivery of a warning of some upcoming global disaster. +Yes, these events are frequently reported, as one researcher has said in +boringly repetitious accounts, and it is tempting to think that the +explanation for alien abductions may lie in these patterns. + So the researchers announce that the problem is solved. The aliens +are doing cross-breeding experiments, UFOlogists tell us. Never mind the +overwhelming evidence against the viable commingling of different +species. Or, we are told, the aliens are here to save us from +destroying ourselves and our planet through violence, drug use, epidemic +disease, pollution, and resource depletion. Never mind that these +problems have grown worse, not better, since the ETs began visiting us. + Or, most infuriating of all, we are assured that there are no +actual aliens, that our experiences spring from our own subconscious +turmoil or from our need for fantasy fulfillment. Never mind that many +abductees are young children, too young to be suffering from such +psychological disturbances. Well, then, the resourceful researcher +counters, the imagined aliens must spring from some collective human +super-psyche that is mirroring our failures and dangers back to us. +This particular theory adores the archetypal gray ET, because it +resembles some sickly fetal form of humanity and must therefore be an +objectified warning of what our species is in danger of becoming if we +don't mend our ways. Never mind that many, many abductees have no +dealing with grays, but instead are victimized by robust reptoids and +insectoids. Not to mention the totally human-looking blond beauties and +black-headed, black-robed clan with the widow's peak hairline. + No, too many researchers seem to find a theory and cling to it in +spite of data that contradict it. And it is the ideas of these +researchers that dominate ufology. But if the public had access to the +raw data, to the first-hand reports of abductees, especially those +unfamiliar with UFO-oriented books, magazines, and lecturers, they would +find a much less neatly organized set of patterns. These "virgin" +cases--people uncontaminated by ufological literature--supply a +staggering picture of human-alien contact events. + What follows here is an overview of these "virgin" reports, a list +of recurrent experiences that taken together gives us a close-up view of +what the aliens are doing here on earth. This data doesn't tell us for +certain just what sort of creatures the aliens are, or what their +purpose here may be. But it does tell us what humans are experiencing +and what they are observing in the actions and capabilities of the +aliens. Every detail in the following list has been reported by more +than one abductee, and in many cases the details have turned up quite +frequently. + +ABDUCTION "CHECKLIST". + + If these reports can be believed--and there is no reason to doubt +the honesty of the reporters--the abduction phenomenon includes the +following details. + + -- Aliens can alter our perception of our surroundings. + + -- Aliens can control what we think we see. They can appear to +us in any number of guises, and shapes. + + -- Aliens can take us--our consciousness--out of our physical +bodies, disable our control of our bodies, install one of their own +entities, and use our bodies as vehicles for their own activities before +returning our consciousness to our bodies. + +End of part 1 + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

It is worse than +wrong--it is despicable, as despicable as blaming a rape victim for the +violence committed against her. This attitude leaves many abductees +feeling doubly violated, first by the aliens who took them and then by +the UFO researchers to whom they turn for explanations and help. + But it is easy to understand why such a theory would be so popular. +Humans have a deep need to believe in the power of good. We need for +the aliens to be a good force, since we feel so helpless in their +presence. And we need for some superior force to offer us a hope of +salvation, both personally and globally, when we consider the sorry +state of the world. + I think the aliens know this about us--they know that we want and +hope for them to be benevolent creatures--and they use our desire for +goodness to manipulate us. What better way to gain our cooperation than +to tell us that the things they are doing are for our own good? But +looking at the actions, the results of alien interference such as the +long list above. There is a great discrepancy between what we desire +from them and what they are doing to us. + Not all abduction reports are filled with frightening or painful +events, of course. Many people say that their alien encounters felt +benevolent, that their abductors treated them kindly or at least with a +scientific detachment. Some abductees recall being told that they were +"special," that they were "chosen," and that they have an important task +to perform for the benefit of humanity. + Given such a positive message, the abductees may ignore the fear +and the pain of their encounters and insist to themselves and to others +that a higher motive underlies the abduction experience. And, in some +cases, all that an abductee remembers is a benevolent encounter and so +has no reason to assume any negative action has occurred. + But intensive research shows that at the core of the human- alien +interaction there is a clear pattern of deception. We know, for +instance, that "screen memories" are often used to mask an alien +abduction. Such accounts abound, in which a person sees a familiar yet +out-of-place animal, like a deer or owl, a monkey or a rabbit, and then +experiences a period of missing time. The person often awakens later to +find a new, unexplained scar on his body. + Uneasiness about the encounter will persist, however, and far +different memories may start to surface in dreams or flashbacks, and +then the person seeks help to explain the uneasiness. Quite often, +hypnotic regression is used to uncover the events behind the "screen +memory," and that is when a typical alien abduction surfaces. + The most recent research in which I've been involved has turned up +yet a second sort of screening process. If it turns out to be accurate, +then thousands of abduction cases are in urgent need of re-examination. + The typical scenario of undergoing the regressive hypnosis usually +results in penetration of the initial blocked memories. + The abductee then recalls an encounter, hitherto unremembered, such +as undergoing a physical examination of some sort, perhaps having body +tissues removed or having a gynecological exam. Other typical reports +include the taking of sperm and ova, of being told of an important task +to be carried out, or of receiving a warning of upcoming disaster. + And in most cases, both the abductee and the investigator come away +from the hypnosis session feeling that they have discovered the truth +about the experience. Rationalization leads them to believe that the +aliens' purposes must be scientifically objective or benevolent. The +less threatening and more benevolent the hypnotically recalled event +seems, the more satisfied are the investigator and the abductee. "That +wasn't so bad, now, was it? These beings are our friends, or at least +they are not our enemies." And everyone goes away with a sense of +relief. I have yet to hear of a researcher who actually questions the +uncovered scenario. + But from several recent cases, it is apparent that these recovered +memories may well also be yet another screen, masking events that are +much more reprehensible. I will explain one such case, to make the +point clear. + +A STRANGE REPORT. + + A man in his late 40's came to us to explore several alien- related +events in his life, and in the interview he told of a strange, although +not apparently alien-oriented, episode that had haunted him since +childhood. When he was ten years old, his grandmother came to visit in +his home, and since the house was small, she shared his bed on the first +night of her visit. + During the night, the boy was awakened by a loud male voice. He +couldn't understand what the voice was saying, but it sounded angry and +was addressing the grandmother lying beside him. + The next morning, he asked his grandmother, "What was that voice in +the bedroom last night?" + His grandmother, with tears in her eyes, pulled him tightly to her +and said, "That was the devil." She said nothing more about the +episode, but she did insist that her son take her back to her own home +immediately. It was an unreasonable request, and her son tried to talk +her out of it. But the grandmother was adamant, and finally her son +agreed to take her home the following day. + The entire family made the trip of over a hundred miles back to the +grandmother's farm, and within an hour of their arrival, the grandmother +suffered a massive stroke and died. Ever since that event, the man had +felt a heavy burden of guilt associated with his grandmother's death. +Yet there was no conscious reason for him to have felt that way. The +entire event was poignant and mystifying, but in all the alien +encounters he had subsequently undergone, he had felt that the aliens +were his friends and were helping him by expanding his psychic +abilities. + A regression session was arranged, and in the course of the +hypnosis, he was asked to look at that childhood experience. What he +recalled was an abduction in which he and his grandmother were taken to +a spacecraft in the company of reptilian aliens. He remembered the +aliens telling his grandmother that they were interested in learning +about her knowledge of medicinal herbs. + And they offered to exchange medical information of their own. + They gave the boy and the grandmother a liquid to drink, explaining +that it was beneficial and would make the grandmother feel young and +attractive again. So both of them drank the liquid, and the man +remembered seeing his grandmother indeed looking much younger. That was +the extent of his recollection. + Both he and Ms. Bartholic, who was conducting the regression, were +puzzled by this, because there was nothing in the episode to account for +the guilt he had felt about the grandmother's death. So Ms. Bartholic +deepened the man's trance level and asked him to look at it again, with +much clearer vision. And what he then recalled was much more +disturbing. + +End of part 3. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The subject is also deeply disturbing. +These are not pleasant stories of people out raking leaves suddenly +beamed into a UFO, subjected to a little cosmos comedy and sent back to +their yards chuckling. + These are chilling accounts of people who say they've been +kidnapped, confined in spaceship examination rooms, probed, prodded and +examined by aliens who seem primarily interested in sexually related +activities. Their stories more resemble reports of rape than they do a +heartwarming visit by "E.T." + Around these alien abduction stories, an industry has been +launched. It soars far beyond the tabloids. There are best-selling +books, popular films and prime-time television shows. Mental health +professionals gathered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last +summer for a conference on abductions. In Maryland and across the +country have blossomed support groups, where people who believe they've +been abducted can share their stories -- away from the ears of those who +might mock, exploit or be titillated by their anguish. + And, of course, there are the scientists -- from the +internationally known astronomer Carl Sagan to a Navy physicist from +Maryland -- and a plethora of researchers, lining up on either side of +the highly charged issue. + What's really happening? No one knows for sure. But one thing is +clear: Something has shattered Lea's and others' calm, secure existence +on planet Earth. Whether the rest of us accept or reject their stories +is irrelevant. We cannot assuage their fear: It is palpable. The +torment is real. + Lea's began while she was in the fourth grade. She remembers +clearly: She was outside her apartment in Prince George's County +playing with her sister and other children. It was dusk. They heard a +hum, or a buzz, like a swarm of bees. They saw a disk-like object -- +wingless, silver-gray, a row of lights along the edge -- creep at +treetop level over the apartment complex. It hovered above a parking +lot between buildings, and then drifted away. + Lea and her sister ran inside to tell their parents. The girls +even drew pictures. + "My father wanted to call somebody," Lea says. "But my mother said +no, we'd made it up. But all of us saw it. We talked about it for days +at school." + Shortly after that, Lea says, the recurring nightmare began. She +dreamed it on and off for a decade, from when she was 10 until about 20. + Dreams are only part of her story. When she was 12 or 13, she and +her sister, who is two years younger, were staying at their +grandparents' house in St. Mary's County. They were in separate beds in +the same room when a ball of lighting, as Lea describes it, passed +through a window and curtain into the room. + About the size of a tennis ball, it glided between the beds, +bounced off a door and vanished. A couple of seconds later another +lightning ball did the same thing, and then another. Lea says there +might have been 20 in all. + She and her sister screamed. Five other people were in the house, +but no one heard them. Lea finally escaped into the hallway.

But +then, five years ago, she and a friend were at a mall outside a +bookstore. Lea spotted a display of books, the covers of which featured +a drawing of a grotesque creature with big, black, almond-shaped eyes. + The book was "Communion," the writer Whitley Strieber's account of +his abductions by aliens.

She +became convinced that the terrifying events -- the nightmares, the night +of the lights, perhaps other unexplained events as well -- had been +abductions. + Lea's not alone. Some researchers estimate that thousands -- if +not millions -- of humans have been abducted and studied by aliens. +They base that estimate on a 1991 survey of 5,947 Americans by the Roper +polling organization. The survey was commissioned by believers in the +abduction phenomenon. + The survey asked 11 questions, including: Have you ever woke up +paralyzed and sensing a strange presence in the room? Have you ever +"lost" an hour or more you can't account for? Have you ever felt as if +you were flying? Have you ever seen balls of light in your room? Have +you ever found scars on your body you could not explain? + Two percent of the respondents answered yes to at least four of +those questions. From these results, the poll sponsors concluded at 2 +percent of adult Americans may have been abducted by aliens. + David M. Jacobs was a sponsor of the poll. The author of "The UFO +Controversy in America," published in 1975, is an associate professor of +history at Temple University. In recent years he interviewed 60 people +who believe they've been abducted, and last year his book about them, +"Secret Life," was published. From his office in Philadelphia, Mr. +Jacobs says: + "This subject is as far-out as it gets. It just seems too crazy, +too out of the question. The skeptics say: 'This could not be +happening; therefore it is not happening.' But you have to go where the +evidence takes you, even though kicking and screaming while en route." + Evidence? Budd Hopkins, another of the poll sponsors, says he has +interviewed witnesses and has found physical evidence, such as +unexplained body scars and mysterious burn marks on lawns where +spaceships may have landed. But primarily, he and other researchers +rely on the abduction stories -- stories told by people of different +races, all ages, both sexes; police officers, psychiatrists, scientists, +lawyers, entertainers, nurses, journalists, farmers, an Army colonel, a +golf pro. + Mr. Hopkins, who is a painter and sculptor in New York City, became +interested in aliens after seeing a UFO in 1964. Eleven years later, a +72-year old friend told him of watching a spaceship land in a New York +park, and of watching about 10 alien passengers take soil samples. Mr. +Hopkins found others willing to tell their stories, and since the +mid-1970s he has been at the forefront of abduction research. He has +studied more than 400 cases and written two popular books, "Missing +Time" and "Intruders," from his interviews with people who claim, +sometimes while under hypnosis, to have been abducted. + "The overall patterns in these cases are so remarkably consistent, +often down to tiny details, and people reporting these experiences are +often so inherently credible that the phenomenon simply cannot be +dismissed," he wrote in "Intruders." + Most abductees report being taken first as children, when a small +implant, which could be remembered as a marble at the tip of a needle, +is placed deep into the ear or nose, the researchers say. The implant's +function is unknown, but these researchers say it might serve as a +locator so the person can be abducted again later. + The aliens described in the stories are small, no more than 4 feet +tall, and extremely thin. They are light-colored, often gray. Their +heads are oversized, yet their mouths and noses are tiny; they have no +ears or hair. Their eyes are large and black. + Nearly all the stories involve spaceships parked on the ground or +floating in the air. The victims are examined in a room resembling a +hospital operating room. The methodical creatures use a variety of +devices to examine humans from head to toe, occasionally leaving scars. +But the aliens, it seems, reserve special interest for the human sexual +organs. + Here is where the story, if it hasn't already, "will almost +certainly strain your credulity to the breaking point," Mr. Hopkins +wrote in "Intruders." + Through interviews with people who report abduction stories, Mr. +Hopkins and Mr. Jacobs came to believe that these aliens are -- and have +been for several decades -- conducting some sort of breeding experiment +with human beings. + This involves the taking of sperm and egg samples; the implanting +of a genetically altered embryo into women; the extraction of the fetus; +and, finally, the external incubation of the fetus. Women have +sometimes reported they were presented hybrid babies and expected to +nurture, even breast-feed, them. +End of part 2. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Baker, a retired professor of psychology at the +University of Kentucky, has written derisively about abduction stories. +He says some are simply fabrications or the recounting of stories +gleaned from books or movies, while others are products of psychological +disorders. + The stories may be repressed memories of childhood sexual or +physical abuse surfacing in disguised form, he says. Or they may be the +type of vivid, realistic dreams occurring as a person falls asleep or +wakes up -- hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations. And, he says, +some people who believe they've been abducted may be fantasy-prone or +psychologically disturbed. + "Anyway," Dr. Baker says, "if this phenomena were as common as +Hopkins and Jacobs would have us believe, the sky would be filled with +spacecraft abducting people back and forth. UFOs would be stacked up +like aircraft coming in at O'Hare." + The believers and skeptics counter each other point by point. Both +sides publish newsletters buttressing their claims. And both produce +mental-health specialists who pronounce judgment on the sanity of the +victims. + But in the end, what are we left with? The stories. + Lea started out thinking she was dreaming or hallucinating.

FILE: UFO2287 + + +>>> Page #1 + +by Vince Johnson + + During the last decade, rumors of an imminent announcement have +circulated throughout the ufological community. For persons steeped in UFO +lore, the question of "announcement of what?" need not be asked. The +immediate connotation of "The Announcement" concerns official government +confirmation of that which those of us in this field have always +suspected: UFOs are structured, technological craft designed, built, and +operated by non-human intelligence. + + Non-human intelligence is the generic term for the unknown whoever +or whatever is flying these things. The term "aliens" usually presupposes +an extraterrestrial origin, and gives short-schriff to the equally viable +theories that these Visitors are time-travelers from our own distant +future, currently unknown life forms (UFO as organism), or +metaphysical/spiritual entities. + + While each of these theories have valid elements, none can explain +all of the observed data regarding UFOs. In fact, the phenomenon may be a +synthesis of two or more of these theories, or equally likely, none of the +above. Those of us on the "outside" just don't have enough data to reach +any firm conclusions. + + The "insiders," however, undoubtedly have access to much more data +in the form of gun-camera films, radar logs, satellite data, signal +intelligence, necropsy reports, and who-knows-what kind of technical data +derived from over 40 years of tracking the UFO phenomenon. Naturally, any +findings by the ufological community will ultimately make its way into the +"insiders" UFO database. + + The "outsiders" have come to call the "insiders" the Control Group +-- the guardians of the UFO secret and managers of UFO information. +Presumably, the Control Group is comprised of a tight-lipped assortment of +intelligence operatives and analysts, military personnel, scientists, and +a select group of hi-tech industrialists. + + Perhaps the greatest question this "outsider" has is whether the +Control Group is under the command and control of the executive branch of +the U.S. government. Could UFO secrecy be maintained if incoming +presidents and their national security advisors were briefed on the +phenomenon? There have been nine presidential administrations since the +Roswell crash, but not a peep of UFO revelations by any of them. This +would indicate that the reasons for the containment of UFO information +were so compelling that everybody officially briefed on the UFO situation +unanimously supported the policy, resulting in no unauthorized "leaks" +during the nine successive administrations. The other possibility is that +the UFO policy has been managed covertly by the Control Group, free from +executive branch supervision. + + Assuming that each successive administration was briefed, how and +why could the UFO cover-up be successfully maintained so long? The most +likely reason would be geopolitical. If a UFO did crash near Roswell in +1947, and artifacts were recovered, would we have wanted to alert the +Soviet intelligence apparatus to what could be a technological windfall? +Considering the potential strategic advantages that could be gleaned from +a sample of advanced technology (metallurgy, electronics, propulsion, +etc.) it would be logical to retract the "crashed UFO" story and begin the +all-too-successful program of denial and ridicule. + + Another geopolitical factor could conceivably be how the concept +of nationalism would fare in light of revelations concerning the presence +of non-human Visitors possessing technological prowess far ahead of our +own. The Capitalist/Communist competition would be reduced to +insignificance -- much to the horror of the military/intelligence/ +industrial complexes which owed their existence to the fears generated by +the East-West rivalry. + + Other factors could have influenced the decision to maintain the +UFO cover-up as well. It should be remembered that Orson Welles' Halloween +broadcast of "War of the Worlds" occurred only nine years before the +Roswell crash. Memories of the panic that ensued would still be fresh in +the minds of policy makers. The notion of Visitors From Space was only +seriously considered after the wave of "flying saucer" sightings that +began in 1947. It could have been rightfully argued then that a period of +psychological preparation was required to acclimate the populace to this +possibility. + + There could also be official concern over a potential +"Conquistadore effect." Would western culture rapidly collapse due to +contact with a more advanced civilization? + + These are examples of what could be considered a "benign +cover-up," i.e., official U.S. policy based on legitimate national- +security concerns and executed through the constitutional chain-of-command +on orders from the president. But, in light of recent geopolitical +changes and over 40 years of pop-culture conditioning regarding the +possibility of non-human Visitors, the reasons for maintaining the UFO +cover-up would seem less and less compelling. It has been argued that the +UFO coverup is maintained due to policy momentum, that to reveal the +coverup after 40 years of denial and ridicule would have unacceptable +political fallout. One would think the avoidance of public disclosure +based on "political embarrassment" for participation in the coverup would +not be a valid concern for a newly elected president, especially if the +new president was of a political party different from his predecessors. + + One scenario that might explain the maintenance of UFO secrecy +concerns the widespread construction of underground installations, flight +tests of non-conventional aircraft at Area 51, and continued funding of +SDI ballistic missile defense and beam-weapons research. Is the defense +establishment attempting to bridge a "technology gap" with our Visitors? +This would imply that the Control Group has ascertained that the Visitors' +agenda may not be benevolent. However, if the Visitors do have hostile +intent, why would they allow us the opportunity to develop defenses +presumably based in-part on technology derived from their own downed +craft? + + Or perhaps the UFO cover-up is based on sinister human motives. + + If all incoming presidents were not briefed and the UFO project +remained hidden from executive branch review, the Control +Group would be engaged in a "rogue" operation with drastic constitutional +ramifications. If this is the case, the motivations of the Control +Group would have to be suspect. If not part of the constitutional +chain-of-command, the Control Group would have to resort to budgetary +skimming, off-budget maneuvers and other criminal activity to fund the +ongoing UFO project. + + During the Iran-Contra hearings we discovered how covert +off-the-shelf operations were funded through illegal arms sales. There +is evidence that these covert operations may have even imported illegal +drugs to fund their activities. It is possible that the Control Group +engages in illegal activities to fund a secret, "unofficial" UFO project +that does not have access to legitimate funding through legal +Constitutional channels. + + Another possible source of funding could come from large +corporations who hope to reap enormous profits by leap-frogging +"linear" R&D through access to UFO technology. Corporate participants in +such a scheme could be ignorant of the fact that the UFO +project they subsidize might be an illegal "rogue" operation. Whether +funded by criminal activities or through covert corporate +sponsorship, the operation could not function without the coordination and +control of active-duty military and intelligence personnel in +violation of their oaths "to faithfully preserve, protect, and defend the +Constitution of the United States of America." + + + If the Control Group is a "rogue" operation, one has to wonder +what could be their motivation. Since power and wealth would +presumably already be within their grasp, could the motivation be +something more sinister? Could the Control Group be a cabal engaged +in the disastrous, but time-honored (for neo-, crypto-, and plain ol' +fascists) goal of global domination? It is conceivable that a relatively +small force armed with super-technology derived from crashed UFOs could +neutralize conventional and nuclear forces worldwide. + + Another possibility is that the Visitors themselves control the +Control Group. Could the Visitors have dictated that secrecy be +maintained, or could the Control Group actually be "cosmic Quislings" +conspiring with alien invaders against the best interests of +humanity? + + In any case, if the Control Group is independent from the +constitutionally mandated chain-of-command structure of the U.S. +Government, it could only be described as a de facto criminal enterprise, +regardless of their motivations. If the Control Group is a rogue +operation, no "Announcement" should be expected soon. But if the Control +Group is functioning legally within a constitutional framework, +an "Announcement" could be forthcoming -- mainly because the policy that +was deemed necessary in 1947 may not be necessary today. + + At this stage in world affairs, maintenance of UFO secrecy in the +interests of national security would no longer seem to be +justifiable. A newly installed administration, such as the Clinton +administration, would have no culpability in the cover-up, and thus would +not suffer politically from any "Announcement." In fact, the president +would probably make political points for instituting UFO glasnost -- +many would look to him for leadership in coping with the startling +revelations, enhancing his presidency. + + + Fear of widespread panic would also be questionable, considering +that almost every citizen is sure to have at least contemplated +the possibility of "aliens landing on the White House lawn." After all, +one would think there is much more danger associated with purely +terrestrial developments like nuclear weapons in the hands of fellow +humans like Saddam Hussein, Kim Il Sung, or the ayatollah du jour +than the most likely scenarios of overt alien contact. + + + The stage for "The Announcement" could be set through informal +release of information to ufologists, which would garner publicity in the +ufological press. Names of "point men," major officials in the UFO program +would be included in these releases. Mainstream journalists +could check some of the statements attributed to the "point men," and +shockingly, receive confirmation from these selected public +officials. The public perception would begin to be ratcheted-up as +headlines announce that government officials are going "on the record" +concerning the reality of the UFO situation. + + An Oval Office address revealing the Big Secret would be perhaps +the most dramatic event in recorded history. + + The "Announcement" could be staged to be comforting, reassuring, +and no cause for alarm. One can assume that there have +been contingency plans in place for such a development for decades. +Picture Walter Cronkite, Carl Sagan, or Ted Koppel calmly +interviewing the Control Group's experts, political leaders, theologians, +etc., interspersed between video clips of UFOs and the Visitors +themselves. It would be a mind-boggling, paradigm-shifting event to be +sure, but not something that would shatter the collective national +psyche. After a year or so, the sensation would die down and the story +would inevitably fade from the front page, replaced by the usual +shootings and scandals. + + The are four important reasons why the government should come +clean and release the information it undoubtedly posesses: + + 1) Many people claim to have had contact with alien Visitors; +release of this information should confirm or deny whether their +experiences were the result of some neurological disorder or actual alien +contact. Even if details of the interaction between Visitors and +humans are scary, it is always better to know, rather than not know, +what's really going on. Always. + + 2) Due to the long-standing and pervasive secrecy surrounding UFO +projects, many technological and scientific discoveries +based on UFO technology may not have been fully exploited. + + 3) The historic nature of contact with non-human intelligence is +too important to be suppressed. It's as if there was a continent on +the Earth that generations of map-makers and navigators had conspired to +conceal. + + 4) In a democracy, important cultural issues are resolved in an +open, democratic manner based on informed debate. Are there +other subjects of great historic and cultural importance that should be +abdicated to the military/intelligence establishment? + + As an outsider, I can only hope the Control Group are "good guys." +If they are, they should be aware of the paranoia their cover- +up engenders -- which is still another reason for lifting the veil of +secrecy. Considering that ufologists who "know too much" don't simply +disappear, but instead, seem to be co-opted by or into the Control Group, +and the fact that the UFO program has been successfully maintained through +nine administrations, I think it's safe to assume that they are "good +guys" operating under executive branch command. + +But if the Control Group are "bad guys," a rogue operation operating +outside the law for whatever purpose, don't hold your breath +waiting for "The Announcement."

This third moving "star" also dimmed and +blinked out following the time exposure at 9:44:49 (15 seconds). + +Arcturus is listed in the Skyguide (Golden Books) as the 4th brightest +star in the sky. Bootes is described as the son of Jupiter and Callisto. +Arcturus is called the Watcher of the Bear. + +Antares is listed as the "rival of Mars," and is the double star named +from the bright red color of the primary. + +A recent crop glyph from England is described as the Scorpion.

FILE: UFO2289 + + + + I would like some of your comments on this 19 July, 1991 radio +broadcast 'For The People'. Since the item is from an old article, +what happened to 8-13A? + +The host read the following from a 6 Oct 77 article from the NY +Times: + +Government Scientists call newly discovered heavenly object a +stray asteroid. Astronomers worldwide in disagreement with +official explanation call the phenomena an intelligently guided +object. + +Washington, Oct 6. United States Government astronomers at the +national radio astronomy observatory have identified an +uncatalogued object near Jupiter as an asteroid from outside the +solar system. Their conclusions have been contested by leading +astronomers across the world who believe the object is not a +natural phenomena. The object, designated 8-13A, was discovered +on Monday by Dr. Leo Moffet at the Green Bank Radio Astronomy +center in West Virginia. Dr. Moffet made the discovery while +searching for evidence of an atmosphere on Io, a moon of Jupiter. +His instruments detected a small object not previously recorded +just outside Io's orbital path. The existence of the object has +been verified by scientists worldwide. Dr. Moffet initially +believed that the object was a tiny moon of Jupiter, but its +course and velocity persuaded him otherwise. He then assumed it +was an errant asteroid on an extremely elongated, elliptical +orbit around the Sun. He named it asteroid 8-13A in accordance +with the observatory's classification system. + +When the discovery was announced to the scientific community on +Tuesday, astronomers throughout the world focused their attention +on 8-13A. Its size was approximated to be 7 kilometers, about 4 +miles, in diameter. Scientists had expressed surprise that the +object had hitherto escaped detection and focused their attention +on plotting its course. No trace of an orbital curve could be +found. The object is apparently on a straight trajectory that +will take it very close to Earth. According to calculations, +there is no danger of collision. But if 8-13A's rate of +deceleration remains constant, it should take up orbit around +Earth just inside that of the moon on or about Oct 25. In light +of the discoveries concerning 8-13A's trajectory, Dr. Moffet +modified his original statement and described the object as a +cometary body from interstellar space which was making its first +and only visit to this solar system. Not all scientists agree +with this explanation, however. Dr. Lawrence Rude of the British +Interplanetary Society stated 'the facts surrounding 8-13A +effectually discount the possibility of a natural origin for the +object. First, the object is on a perfectly straight path toward +Earth. Second, it is traveling at just the right speed to enable +it to enter into a stable orbit around Earth. If it were +traveling any slower it would be pulled into Earth by gravity +with catastrophic results. If it were any faster, it would pass +by our planet and move on out of the solar system. Finally, the +fact is that 8-13A is DECELERATING as it approaches implies +guidance. Natural celestial bodies do not decelerate of their +own accord. It is my belief that 8-13A is neither an asteroid +nor a comet, but an intelligently guided vehicle from beyond the +solar system.' + +Other announcements similar to Dr. Rude's have been released by +independent astronomers and research centers across the country. +Scientists at Lincoln Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts have +been observing the object's light curve in order to estimate its +shape by measuring the different amounts of sunlight it reflects +as it rotates. If 8-13A were to show no change or a regular +cycle in its light curve, evidence would suggest that it was +entirely smooth and thus of artificial origin. However, the data +shows an irregular light curve. To the undaunted supporters of +the artificial origin explanation, this fact merely means that 8- +13A must have a complex design. The United States Government is +sticking to its natural object theory despite the evidence +presented by leading authorities. At a news conference here +yesterday, a spokesman for the national radio astronomy +observatory stated that 8-13A is an asteroid or cometary body +which originated in another star system and has traveled here +through the emptiness of interstellar space. The apparent +deceleration of 8-13A is a natural affect brought about by its +passage close to the strong gravitational fields of other +planets.

Any comments and inquiries welcome. + +Transcribed from The Birmingham News, 10/10/89 +Written by Frank Sikora, News staff writer + + +Woman tells of UFO in '73 on U.S. 31 + + A former Birmingham-area resident says that she had an encounter with +an alien spacecraft in October 1973, but did not know what happened until two +years ago when she underwent hypnosis. Cynthia Vodovoz, 28, said the incident +took place on U.S. 31 near Gardendale, and she and investigators are still +trying to sort out the details of how a "thin thing" and "whitish looking" +creatures allegedly took her aboard the craft. She was 12 at the time. "For +many years I didn't know what had happened, only that I had been troubled by +something," she said in a telephone interview. She said the event occurred as +she was riding with her mother from their home in Morris to a dance class in +Birmingham. "I noticed an object," she said, "It was big and round and bright +green and had a yellow ring around it. It was coming over the trees. It +stayed with us. And my mother said, "Is it going to land?" Miss Vodovoz said +that just north of Gardendale the object began to descend directly in front +of them. She said the car stalled near an intersection.There were several +other cars stopped, she said. "The object kept coming down and seemed to stop +near the wires," she continued, "It seemed bigger than a plane. My mother +rolled down the window which really upset me. I thought I was going to run. +In the car next to me was a man whose face was lit up. He was leaning over +toward us. Mother asked the man, "Do you think it's a UFO?" And he said, 'I +guess so.' " Miss Vodovoz said she recalls feeling "heavy", and a bright +light shone in the car. She said she felt she could not move. "The next thing +I remember I was sitting in the car seat but my feet were in my mother's lap, +and the car door slammed on my back and it woke me up. My mother seemed to +wake up. She was trying to start up the car." She said they continued along +U.S. 31 and when they arrived at the dance class they were about 40 minutes +late. Her mother called her father, Irvin Vodovoz, who worked with the +Federal Aviation Administration in Birmingham, who dismissed the object as a +rocket being test fired by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. +The following year the family moved to Washington. Later, Miss Vodovoz moved +to Los Angeles to pursue her interest in dance. But she was bothered by the +incident in Gardendale, she said. In 1986 she met with Dr. Richard Neal, an +obstetrician-gynecologist who also is a hypnotist. Later, she said, famed +UFO investigator Budd Hopkins came to interview her, placing her under +hypnosis. In that state, she said, she told an astonishing story. She told of +seeing the object and coming to the intersection, thinking there had been an +accident, because of the stopped cars. "The people ahead were screaming and +putting arms out the window," she said, "and this thin thing was coming. And +as he passed the cars, the people were subdued. As he got to our car, mother +rested her head on the door. Then three small beings, whitish looking, came +to my door and opened it. I tried to put my fingers in the air conditioner +vents to hold on, but the vents broke. She said that under hypnosis she told +of being taken -floated- aboard a craft that was white inside. She said she +was placed on a table and said there was another girl lying on another table. +"She had kind of sandy, curly hair, and she was in the same predicament as +me," she said, "They were walking around the table doing an examination. I +remember a needle in my navel." Later, she said, she was placed in what +appeared to be a transparent globe and floated back in her mother's car. She +said the door of the car was slammed on her back. "I've always wondered +whether anyone remembers anything happening there that night near Gardendale, +"she said in the interview. "My father remembers getting a call from a man +who said he was an Air Force Colonel and the man said he had seen a UFO. I +wish we could find that man." Jeff Ballard, state director of the group known +as MUFON - Mutual Unidentified Flying Object Network - says he hopes to find +motorists who might have been on U.S. 31 that night in October 1973. "I feel +there may be a number of people that may have had some encounters like that +that they don't understand, but they are bothered by it," said Ballard, who +is an engineer with a space-related company in Huntsville. "They just have +some memory of a light." Ballard says October, because of its normally clear +nights, often brings reports of sightings of strange lights in the sky. +Tonight in Birmingham, a Nashville woman, Leilani Dearing, and her husband, +Dan, will speak at the Parliament House Hotel. Mrs. Dearing says the couple +was taken aboard a spacecraft in Hawaii by peaceful aliens. + + +Subj: Multipml sightings + + It seems that the area in North Central Alabama is again becoming active. A + MUFON investigator in Morgan County, Alabama has reported on 3 different + occasions a strange solid red light moving across the sky, always on the same + flight path. On March 14th a neighbor called a relatives' house and asked if + she saw the dancing lights in the sky the night before. When the family + member replied no, the neighbor replied that she had seen 10-15 small red + lights that night in the eastern sky, just "dancing in the air". This ties in + with sightings my whole family had around 10 yrs. ago. At different occasions + at nightime we could observe 5-10 small, possible high altitude red lights in + the sky. They would perform numerous 90 degree turns and accelerate and + decelerate. I have no explanation for the small red lights. + Then tonight, March 17th, I was on the porch of a friends' house while my + father was out by a nearby car. The friend and I were observing an apparent + red strobe light on a tower. I turned and was 'bathed' for a split second in + a yellow and white light, much like lightning but not lightning. I thought it + was a reflection and mentioned nothing to my friend who had gone in the + house. I returned to the car where my father was and he too asked if I had + seen the brilliant light that lit up the whole sky. Could this have been the + booster rockets of the stricken communications satellite that failed this + week and were re-entering the atmosphere? Other than that I have no + explanations... + John, please let me know if anyone in Tennessee observes these objects as we + both know things like this tend to migrate from state to state. + Jerry + + +Subj: SIGHTINGS + + Jeff; + I called Kathy tonight and she said on the police scanner people were + calling in about strange lights and UFO's on the Cullman/Morgan County line. + Don't know anything further at this time.... + Jerry + + +Subj: Re: SIGHTINGS + + Called the sheriff's office and they said they had 4 calls (no names to pass + on) about low level red lights.

I realize manure is silent.) + +Answer this question honestly: Have you, or has any member of your immediate +family, ever seen a weather balloon? Of course not. Nobody has. Yet if these +so-called authorities were telling the truth, the skies over America would be +dark with weather balloons. Commercial aviation would be impossible. +Nevertheless, the authorities trot out this tired old explanation, or an even +stupider one, every time a flying saucer is sighted. + + NEW YORK -- Authorities say that the gigantic, luminous object + flying at tremendous speeds in the skies of Manhattan last night, + which was reported by more than seven million people, including the + mayor, a Supreme Court justice, several bishops, and thousands of + airline pilots, brain surgeons, and certified public accountants, + was simply an unusual air-mass inversion.

Asked why the + people also reported seeing the words "WE ARE ALIEN BEINGS WHO COME + IN PEACE WITH CURES FOR ALL YOU MAJOR DISEASES AND A CARBURETOR THAT + GETS 450 MILES PER GALLON HIGHWAY ESTIMATE" written on the side of + the object in letters over three hundred feet tall, the authorities + replied, "Well, it could also have been a weather balloon." + +Wake up, America! There are no weather balloons! Those are alien beings! They +are all around us! I'm sure most of you have seen the movie E.T., the story of +an alien who almost dies when he falls into the clutches of the American +medical-care establishment, but is saved by pre-adolescent boys. Everybody +believes that the alien is a fake, a triumph of special effects. But watch the +movie closely next time. The alien is real! The BOYS are fakes! REAL +pre-adolescent boys would have beaten the alien to death with rocks. + +Yes, aliens do exist. And high government officials know they exist but have +been keeping this knowledge top secret. Here is the Untold Story: + +Years ago, when the alien-broadcast program began, government scientists +decided to broadcast a message that would be simple, yet convey a sense of +love, universal peace, and brotherhood: "Have a Nice Day." They broadcast this +message over and over, day after day, year after year, until one day they got +an answer: + + DEAR EARTH PERSONS: + + OK. WE ARE HAVING A NICE DAY. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF EXTREMELY + SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS, AND UNLESS YOU START BROADCASTING SOMETHING + MORE INTERESTING, WE WILL REDUCE YOUR PLANET TO A VERY WARM OBJECT + THE SIZE OF A CHILD'S BOWLING BALL. + + REGARDS, + THE ALIENS + +So the scientists, desperate for something that would interest the aliens, +broadcast an episode of "I Love Lucy", and the aliens LOVED it. They demanded +more, and soon they were getting all three major networks, and the Earth was +saved. There is only one problem: THE ALIENS HAVE TERRIBLE TASTE. They love +game shows, soap operas, Howard Cosell and "Dallas." Whenever a network tries +to take one of these shows off the air, the aliens threaten to vaporize the +planet. + +This is why you and all your friends think television is so awful. It isn't +designed to please you: it's designed to please creatures from another galaxy. +You know the Wisk commercial, the one with the ring around the collar, the one +so spectacularly stupid that it makes you wonder why anybody would dream of +buying the product? Well, the aliens LOVE that commercial. We all owe a great +debt of gratitude to the people who make Wisk. They have not sold a single +bottle of Wisk in 14 years, but they have saved the Earth. + +Very few people know any of this. Needless to say, Congress has no idea what +is going on. Most legislators are incapable of eating breakfast without the +help of several aides, so we can hardly expect them to understand a serious +threat from outer space. But if they go ahead with their plan to cancel the +alien-broadcast program, and the aliens miss the next episode of "General +Hospital," what do you think will happen? Think about it. And have a nice day. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

It was given to me as "accurate information" +and I just wanted to pass it along to anyone who might find it interesting or +otherwise useful. I'd appreciate any feedback you'd care to share with me if +you wish to proceed in a civilized manner. + + +ALIEN TYPE 1: The Greys. Of this type there are several sub-types. All tend +to appear greyish in color and for this reason are referred to as "greys." + +GREY TYPE A: This is the type most commonly referred to as the greys. Also +known as Zeta Reticuli from the Zeta Reticulan star system (the Bernard star) +neighboring the Orion area. They function in a mode that is apparently +military in nature with a rigidly defined social structure that holds science +and "conquering worlds" to be the prime movers. They are normally about 4.5 +ft tall with large heads and black "wrap around" eyes. They have limited +facial features, slit mouth and no nose to speak of. They have evolved beyond +the need for reproductive systems or digestive systems and reproduce by +cloning. Their genetics are partly based on insectoidal genetics. + + Their science deals largely with the study of other life forms and +genetic engineering. They have supposedly had a part to play in the +alteration of human genetics over thousands of years. It seems that they +may be trying to cross breed with humans in order to create a "mixture race" +that would be better than either. (I've read that they are a dying +species, that have cloned so much that now, with each successive cloning, +the species grows weaker. They are trying to infuse new life into their +species by creating the mixed breed.) + + There seem to be two main social classes. One is the more hawkish and is +more abrupt, crude and blunt. The more dove-like ones are more refined and +capable of a more business-like behavior towards humans, and prefer to use +more "diplomatic" behavior to gain control over human's. This type of Grey is +what I believe is being referred to as the "Orange" class of Greys. + + They seem to be emotionless (by human standards) and therefore are seen as +cruel in their treatment of human beings. They are able to take human lives +without any regard for that individual. They apparently can use certain +substances of the human body for their sustenance and therefore appear to be +carnivorous in regards to humans. (I also read that they extract fluid from +some part of the human brain during intense emotional response [fear] and are +able to use it like a recreational drug.) + + It is my understanding that these greys are actually servants to a master +race of reptilian-type aliens and are trying to prepare the earth for their +arrival by gaining control over the earth through many means. They tend to +enjoy the feeling of freedom they have on earth, away from their masters and +would desire the help of humans in confrontations with the reptilians...which +appears to be a consideration for the near future (mid 90's.) + + These greys have their best known bases in New Mexico and Nevada but are +also known to have bases in many countries of the world. + +GREY TYPE B: Tall Greys from Orion. Usually about 7 to 8 ft. tall (reports +often exaggerate their height as being 9 to 12 ft.) with facial feature +somewhat similar to grey type A with the exception of the large nose found on +type B greys. These greys also have technologies that allow them to perform +certain actions that appear "miraculous." These greys are less viscous +towards humans than type A greys (but are still considered "hostile".) They +tend to influence more through political controls and negotiated agreements +with those in power. Their main bases seem to be in the Aleutian Islands. + + These are the type seen not long ago in Eastern Russia. + +GREY TYPE C: These are the shortest of the greys and tend to be about 3.5 +ft. tall. Their facial features are very similar to the Zeta Reticuli greys +and are of the same "root race.". They are just as hostile to humans as the +Zetas. They are from a star system near the shoulder of Orion called +Bellatrax. + +ALIEN TYPE 2: THE REPTILIANS: A genetics akin to reptiles, these are highly +advanced entities but viewed as being of a negative, hostile or dangerous +disposition since they regard humans as a totally inferior race. They would +perceive us much the way we would perceive a herd of cattle. They are +carnivorous in regard to humans. There is supposedly a "driven" planetoid or +asteroid inhabited by 30 million of these lizard-folk that is to enter our +solar system in the mid 90's if the present schedule is kept. + + They consider earth to be their own ancient outpost and would expect to +have complete control of the entire planet upon their return. Their own +planet is becoming unable to adequately support life and they need somewhere +else to live. These are the aliens who are served by the type A greys. + +ALIEN TYPE 3: HUMAN TYPE ALIENS + +HUMAN TYPE A: These are of a genetic base similar to humans of earth. They +appear of "normal" height (5-6ft?) and tend to be fair-skinned with blonde +hair. These entities have been abducted by the greys or are the offspring of +abductees and have been trained by the greys as servants. These entities are +totally subservient to the greys. + +HUMAN TYPE B: These are aliens of similar genetics to earth humans and also, +it seems, of the humans that serve the greys. These are from the Pleiades and +are also of the blonde, fair-skinned appearance. This type is of a genuine +highly evolved, spiritual, benevolent variety and have a kinship toward humans +and are the only aliens to be truly trusted by earth humans at this time. They +had at one time offered to be of assistance to earth leaders in dealing with +the alien situation here but were rebuffed and so have taken a kind of "hands +off" approach for the time being. These aliens are supposedly the forefather +race of humankind. These are apparently not on earth much at this time due to +serious problems in the area of their home. + +HUMAN TYPE C: Very little is known about these. They are supposedly another +of the highly evolved, spiritual type of great benevolence to earth humans. I +understand that their appearance is similar to other human-type aliens. They +are from Sirius and don't appear to be much involved with earth happenings at +this time other than being concerned about the Grey scenario. They could +desire to be of help to humans. + + There are other known human type aliens of this "more highly spiritually +evolved" nature that are apparently aware of the situation on earth and +considering some possible course of action. These are from Arcturus and Vega. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

I arrived shortly before 5 in the +afternoon as it was a 7 1/2 hour drive from my home in Sanford,Fla to +the Pensacola city limits. Right after I arrived, a friend took me on +a tour of the Gulf Breeze area, starting with Shoreline Park and +ending up at Fort Pickens. This was my first trip. I stayed at +the Gulfbreeze Holiday Inn (51 Gulf Breeze Pkwy), which overlooks +Pensacola Bay. We met the following people for dinner at the +Inn's Bon Appetit restaurant: Dr. Steven Greer of CSETI, Rosemary +Ellen Guiley, Director of the Center for North American Crop +Circle Studies, Bruce and Ann Morrison of the Gulf breeze Skywatch +organization, Vicki Lyons, Bob Oueschler, Boots Eckert, Field +Investigator for Pensacola MUFON. After a lively dinner, we headed +out to Fort Pickens, which is across the bridge from Gulf Breeze +and drove to a spot that Dr. Steven Greer,Oueschler and Bruce +Morrison had picked earlier in the day. It was a "pull-off" spot +off the main road large enough for about 20 vehicles. I would +estimate that around 40 people were gathered there within a short +time of our arrival at 9:30 pm on Saturday night on June 13th. +To better describe this location: This is a long road on a very narrow +island, which dead-ends into the Spanish Fort . We were about +4 miles away from the actual Fort itself. At our backs was the Gulf, and +in front of us was the rear side of the Pensacola Bay. From where we were +situated, you could look across Pensacola Bay and see towards Shoreline +Park, which is the area that many of the sightings have occurred. +Bob Oueschler had his small pickup truck loaded down with a +considerable amount of video gear. Both he and Bruce Morrison +had several video cams set up, and Bob had a camera on loan +that he was using from Bruce Maccabee which he told me +was a .51 lux and it was very long,narrow and had an accompanying +monitor to help out in the focusing process. There were, I +would estimate at _least_ 15 video cameras set up. These ranged +from the hand held type to the tripod mounted complete with very +long telephoto lenses attached. Bruce Morrison was saying that +the *previous* night (6/12) that his Skywatch team had observed +the GB UFO arising _from_ Pensacola Bay. While I was conversing +with both Bob Oueschler and Bruce Morrison, Dr. Steven Greer, +and a few members of his CSETI group, went down to the nearby +beach and did their "thought-sequencing" thing (more of a +meditative type deal). They were a few minutes into doing this, +when they re-joined the rest of us and started using their hand +held 1/2 million candlepower lights to create triangular patterns +in the night sky. It was about 10:15 at this point. Bruce Morrison +had informed us that the GB UFO had been keeping to a "schedule" +of around 10:30 for the last 5 nights so we watched as Greer's +group was doing the "light-sequencing thing" and the rest +of us took to saying "C'mon bubba!" (this is what the locals +call the GB UFO :-) . All of the video cameras were pointed toward +the bridge in the direction of Shoreline Park, as Bruce had +indicated earlier that this was the most likely direction that +the GB UFO would appear (he was later proved right). We watched +the sky and noted all the aircraft coming and going (it's fairly +busy)..noted all the constellations and even tracked a satellite +going over to identify all the items that were recognizable and +non-UFO. Noted that Jupiter was fairly bright. Noted we had a full +moon partially obscured behind clouds to the rear of us. +I was down at the other end of the parking lot talking to some +people when I heard Bruce yell out "There it is!"..rushed over +to Bob Oueschler's pickup and looking up saw a BRILLIANT white +light over Pensacola Bay and in the direction that Bruce said +it would be. I would estimate it to have been about 2 miles away +from us and it appeared to be about 3-4000 ft high. As we watched, +the LIGHT flashed several times very quickly, then it changed colors +from white to a deep red. The change to red lasted several seconds +and it faded out altogether for 7 sec by my watch as if a rheostat +had been turned down. It came back to white seconds later, and I +could see flashes of green, then once more back to red. Duration +of this sighting lasted just a bit over 1 minute. During this time, +no movement was observed. The object did a slow fade and was not seen +anymore. Suffice it to say, that everyone who was present and had +video cameras got it all on tape. At NO time, were _sparks_ observed +nor any "flare-like" behaviour observed. + +There's been much discussion as to this being a "flare". Uh, right guys.. +Flares give off SPARKS and aren't noted to fade in and out, change from +white to red and back several times. What I observed was definately NOT +a "flare". Bruce Morrison told me of an experiment that was performed +a long time back when a local TV station _did_ sent up a balloon-lofted +flare to compare it with the readily available video of this object and +the two were broadcasted over the local station side by side. NOT EVEN +CLOSE! + +I would not go so far as to say that I observed an "alien craft"..in my +opinion, it was anomolous phenomena. I could NOT make out any structure +that would have shown it to be a "craft", but then again it was quite a +distance away and perhaps digital enhancement may prove useful in this +respect. I wonder if anyone has bothered to contact Jim Moore, the +cameraman for station KHOU in Houston, that showed the film to the +Houston area during the airing of the "Intruders" movie. I understand +from sources that his digital enhancement _did_ show the outline of the +"Ed Craft". + +And finally, I did speak a little bit with the "UFO Rainmaker", Dr. +Steven Greer. A very interesting fellow and one in whom I believe you +will be hearing more on in the next few months. + +As I read Chris Rutkowski's June issue of "The Swamp Gas Journal" +(and thanks for the mention :-), I read his comments imploring others +to get more involved in this case and I heartily agree. It *always* +struck me as being mightily presumptous of _some_ people to have dismissed +the GB UFO's as being a "hoax" when these people have NEVER stepped foot +in the state of Florida and done any investigation on their own! + +Time to get off your duffs guys. Bruce Morrison has over 400 video tapes +of this object and Bob Oueschler probably has quite a few as well. It's +high time the UFOlogical community got over their "Ed-bashing" and +start getting more directly INVOLVED. Like flying into Pensacola +and spending time with the principals..visiting the sites. Bring +some equipment with you and sit out with the Skywatch team and get bit +by the mosquitoes like everyone else :-) + +In case anyone is interested, here's the telephone numbers of a couple +of people very much involved and that could provide some further info: + +Bruce and Ann Morrison - Gulf Breeze Skywatch: 904-433-2737 + +Boots Eckert - Field Investigator - MUFON : 904-438-3261 + +Also, Dr. Steven Greer can be reached at: 704-274-5671 (Asheville,N.C.) + + +Don + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

He was + startled, upoln meeting Anderson for the first time only a few + months ago, to hear the Springfieldian echo details of the yet + to be published research. + + "There's no way he could know some of these things unless he + had been there at the time," Friedman believes. + + Example: only days before first talking with Anderson, + Friedman coaxed a heretofore reluctant New Mexico mortician + into recounting a run-in he'd had in 1947 with an especially + unpleasant red-headed captain who was heading up a team + recovering bodies from a hush-hush aircraft crash. Anderson, + too, spoke of a red-headed captain with a mean disposition. + Friedman says the descriptions of the ornery officer provided + by the two match precisely, although Anderson and the mortican + never have met. + + In sketches of the desert crash scene drawn by Anderson in + Springfield following a hypnosis, a lonely windmill appears in + the distance. When Friedman later arranged for Anderson to + return to New Mexico to pinpoint the long-ago crash site, no + such windmill could be see on the horizon-- until, almost by + accident, the windmill wa spotted behind tress that had grown + up during the 43 years since Anderson was last there. + + "I got shivers over that one," says John Carpenter, who has + extensively debriefed Anderson over the past 4 months and went + along on Anderson's return trip to New Mexico in October. + + Capenter holds degrees in psychology and psychiatric social + work from DePauw and Washington universities and trained in + clinical hypnosis at the Menninger Institute. He's in his + 12th year of work at a psychiatric hospital facility in + Springfield. + + "When Gerald tells his story, it's not just a story -- it's + his life he's telling you, intermixed with his feelings and + his beliefs and all that is Gerald," Carpenter says. + + "When someone is spinning a hoax or tale, they only give you + enought to reaise your curiosity. Not Gerald. He gives you + everything, in detail, much more than you ask him for. He'd + be setting himself up to be found out if it wasn't true. He's + so confident, he goes so much further than a hoaxer would ever + dare." + + Carpenter puts great stock in Anderson's recountings under + hypnosis. "It's what he didn't say that was significant." + Caprenter says, explaining that despite clever prodding, + Anderson never commited a hoaxer's mistake of "recalling" + something that shouldn't be a part of his own memory. + + "And when he's under hypnosis, all the bigger, adult words + drop out when he describes events from his childhood," + Carpenter found. "He relates what he was in child-like + terms." + + Carpenter also detected "genuine amazement" when Anderson + heard what had been dredged from his subconscious memory under + hynosis. "The look on his face was priceless when he realized + he'd produced details he'd forgotten on a conscious level so + long ago." + + Most subtle but perhaps most telling, in Carpenter's view, was + Anderson's reaction to being accepted as a viable witness to + an extrordinary encounter with a spacecraft and creatures from + beyond Earth. + + "He was so grateful at being taken seriously. You could see + the relief and release after all those years, and the great + hope that other people would take him seriously too, once and + for all." + + Ironically, Friedman points to Gallup Poll results indicating + that 60 percent of Americans who have college degrees say they + believe UFOs are real. With such a receptive constituency, + why would government officials persist in what Friedman calls + the "Cosmic Watergate" -- the coverup and denial of the New + Mexico crashes? Perhaps, some speculate, because it would be + too embarrassing now to admit that some supposedly made-in-USA + technologies actually were plagiarized from confiscated + spacecraft. + + Friedman emphasizes that he's not as interested in uncovering + past misdeeds as he is in encouraging future progress. + + "I believe we should have an 'Earthling" orientation rather + than nationalistic orientation. The easiest way to + demonstrate the wisdome of this is to prove that lifeforms + from other planets are coming here.

"I was in the wild +frontier. There were real, live Indians out there." + Then says Anderson, on his second day in the Southwest he +bumped into real,live creatures from a truly alien world. + There were four -- two dead, on dying, one apparently +uninjured. The creatures were about 4 feet tall, with heads +disproportionately large for their bodies by human measure and +almond-shaped, coal black eyes. They huddled in the shadow of +50-ft-diameter silver disk - a "flying saucer" that had crashed +into a low hillside on the rim of what locals call the Plains of +San Agustin. + Anderson, a former police chief at Rockaway Beach and Taney +County deputy sheriff who now works as a security officer in +Springfield, is adamant about events on the hot midsummer day so +long ago. + "I saw them. I even touched one of the creatures. I put my +hand on their ship. And I wasn't alone - my dad, my uncle, my +brother and my cousin all saw the same things. And so did a lot +of other people. But they aren't talking. + Anderson is talking, pubicly, after 43 years of silence. + Among those listening most intently are some of the foremost +researchers into unidentified flying object (UFO phenomena. +These experts say Gerald Anderson appears to be an important link +in a frustratingly fragmented chain of evidence concerning the +most famous - or infamous - chapter in UFO annals: the so called +"Roswell Incident." + No one denies that "something" happened in July 1947 in +central New Mexico, cradle of U.S. nuclear and rocket technology. +However, military authorities insist reports of strange craft in +the sky and bizare wreckage on the ground were traced at the time +to an errant weather balloon and other manmade or natural +circumstance. + Nonetheless, over the years, persistent whispered rumors grew +into published articles and books, even movies, which fanned +speculation that what actually occured was a visit by creatures +from another planet - an intergalactic expedition that turned to +tragedy on the high desert and then into a massive coverup in the +highest circles of the U.S. government. + Anderson says he was unaware of ongoing fascination and +controversy over the strange episode from his childhood until one +evening this past January when he was flipping through channels +on his television set and stumbled across the popular program +"Unsolved Mysteries." + "I wasn't looking for any unsolved mysteries - I have enough +mysteries in my life that are unsolved, and I don't need any +more," Anderson jokes. He is a burly, barrel-chested man +standing 6-4 and carrying a muscular 250-plus pounds, with +reddish hair and a rudy complexion creased from easy laughter. + "But, bingo! On comes this story, and everything was wrong," +Anderson recalls of the TV show. On sudden impulse, he dialed an +800 phone number that flashed onto the screen. "I guess I figured +that if people were still interested in this thing, they might as +well get it straight" is the only explanation he can muster for +speaking up after years of keeping mostly mum on the matter. + "These people don't know what they're talking about," Anderson +told the operator on the other end of the long-distance line. +"The shape of the craft is totally wrong. 'And how do you know +that, sir?" she asked. ' I saw it, I was there,' I told her. +"Whoa!" she said. "Thee are some people who will want to talk to +you...'" + Anderson's phone soon was ringing with calls from UFO +researchers around the country. One in particular, Stanton +Friedman, a nuclear physicist and popular lecturer who had +advised the "Unsolved Mysteries" producers, was struck by +correlations between Anderson's recollections and obscure +details Friedman uncovered while sleuthing for a book to be +published next year. + Friedman, who lives in Canada, contacted John Carpenter, a +Springfield professional therapist who in his spare time serves as a +director of investigations for the local chapter of Mutual UFO +Network, a nationwide orgainization of UFO researchers. At Friedman's +request, Carpenter conducted extensive in person interviews of +Anderson, including sessions under hypnosis. + The results excited Friedman. "Powerful stuff!" he exclaimed upon +hearing interview tapes. Friedman arranged airline tickets for +Anderson and Carpent to join him in New Mexico to pinpoint the crash +site. + Anderson says the flight was his first return to New Mexico in more +than a quarter-century. After poining the pilot of a chartered +helicopter to a spot in the desert 75 air miles southwest of +Albuquerque, Anderson gazed at a hillside, strewn with boulders the +size of Volkswagens and dotted with a few gnarled pinion trees, that +he says he saw in the summer of 1947..... + +A NEW HOME + + The Anderson family arrived in Albuquerque from Indiana on July 4, +1947. they took up temporary residence at the home of one of Gerald's +uncles, Guy Anderson. Gerald's father, Glen, was about to take a job +as a master machinist involved in nuclear weapons design at the +super-secret Sandia base on the outskirts of town. + The next day, another uncle, Ted, struck up a conversation with +Gerald's older brother Glen Jr., who was on leave from the Marine +Corps. Glen Jr. was a rockhound, and his uncle piqued the young +Marine's enthusiasm with talkes of gorgeous stones just waiting to be +collected in the desert. + " Ted told my brother, ' I know where there's plenty of moss agate.' +So we all piked into a 1940 Plymouth - Uncle Ted, my cousin Victor +(Ted's 8 year old son), my brother, Glen, my dad and myself. We went +out into this area where the moss agate was supposed to be - followed +two ruts into the desert, bounced along out there for a while, and +ended up on top of a ridgeline. We parked the car and started to walk +down an arroyo (gully) and dry creek bed and out onto the plains. + + +A STRANGE DISCOVERY + + "But we came around a corner and right there in front of us stuck +into the side of this hill, was a silver disc. There were some +remarks like"There's a crash up here! Somthing's crashed up here! And +then someone saying 'That's a goddam spaceship!" + "We all went up there to it. There were three creatures, three +bodies, lying on the ground underneath this thing in the shade. Two +weren't moving and the third one obviously was having trouble +breathing, like when you have broken ribs. There was a fourth one +next to it, sitting there on the ground. There wasn't a thing wrong +with it, and it apparently had been giving first aid to the others. + Anderson animatedly acts out the fourth creature's reaction when +the family members approached. "It recoiled in fear, like it thought +we were going to attack it," anderson recounts, covering his face with +crossed arms. The adults tried to repeatedly to communicate with the +frightened creature, Anderson says, but there was no audible response +to greetings spoken in English and Spanish. + A few minutes after the Anderson clan happened upon the bizarre +scene, six other people arrived - five college students and their +teacher. They'd been working on an archeological dig around cliff +dwellings a few miles away and had decided to hike over after seeing +what they thought was a firey meteor crashing the night before. The +professor, a Dr. Buskirk, tried several foreign languages in +unsuccessful attempts to coax a verbal response from the creature, +Anderson says. + The sun had climbed to a midday peak by this time and recalls +anderson, "to a kid from Indiana, it was hot brother, let me tell +you." He chugged a chocolate flavored soft drink an hour earlier and +the sweet soda pop was churning uncomfortably in his stomach. so he +sought shelter in the shadow of the spacecraft. + "It was 115 (degrees) out there that day. But around the craft, +when you got close to it, it was cold. When you touched the metal, it +felt just like it came out of a freezer." + +SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT + + Anderson also touched one of the creatures lying motionless on the +ground - and it, too was cold. In his child's mind, he had thought the +figures looked like dolls. But when he felt the colk skin, " I knew +something wasn't quite right. Yuck!. + Anderson says he ran to the crest of a nearby knoll to take stock. A +pickup truck arrived on the ridge, and a fellow whom researchers believe +was a civil engineer named Barney Barnett joined the curious audience. "I +remember thinking he looked like Harry Truman. In 1947, every kid knew +what Harry Truman looked like," Anderson says. + After a few minutes, Anderson summoned the courage to agin creep close +to the strange saucer. It was then more chilling than the surface of the +craft of the skin of the corpse; The upright creature turned and looked +right at me and it was like he was inside my head - as if he was doing my +thinking, as if his thoughts were in my head." + Anderson remembers a mental sensation of falling and tumbling +end-over-end. "I felt that thing's fear, felt its depression, felt its +loneliness. I relived the crash. I know the terror it went through. That +one look told me everything that quickly," he says with a snap of his +fingers. + Other things began happening quickly about this time, Anderson says. A +contingent of armed soldiers suddenly appeared. The creature, which had +calmed down after its initial fright, "went crazy" at the sight of the +soldiers. Thinking back on the creature's plight today brings on the +"awfulest, horrible feeling," Anderson says. + "His situation was hopeless. He knew it. He'd just lived through a +nightmare that most of us wouldn't be able to psychologically stand. He'd +watched two of his crew, his friends or maybe even his family die. He's +watching another one die. He knows there's no chance of rescue, because the +military is here and his people aren't going to be able to get him. + "God only knows how far away from home he was, and he knew he was never +going to see - if they have loved ones - his loved ones again. He was +totally alone on a hostile planet, and the only people who where showing +him kindness were being run off by the military at weapon-point. + "As a kid, I was aware of what being afriad of the dark was like., and +the feeling I got from him was that feeling multiplied a million times. It +was scary. It was terrifying. + + +SOLDIERS ON THE SCENE + + Anderson says he lost sight of the creature as the soldiers swarmed over +the site. The civilians were brusquely shoved from the craft. Anderson +remembers shouts and threats. His uncle Ted threw a punch at one of +the GIs. "Things got very tense, very dangerious," Anderson says. +"The soldiers ushered us out of there very unceremoniously. Their +attitude, to describe it at best, was uncivilized." + Anderson has an especially vivid memory of a tough-talking red +haired Army captain and an equally gruff black sergeant. "They told +my dad and my uncle, who also worked at Sandia, that if they were ever +to divulge anything about this - it was a secret military aircraft, +they said - then us kids would be taken away and they'd never see us +again." It seems an outrageious threat in hindsight, Anderson +concedes. But at the time, he reminds, "These people had machine guns +and you listened to what they said." + Another recollection strikes Anderson as odd today: The soldiers +didn't appear surprised about the otherwordly craft and creatures. +they didn't gawk, slack-jawed and awestruck as the Andersons had done. +"The soldiers weren't saying, 'Gee, look at that!" They were very +cognizant of what they were looking at. They knew what it was. + And it soon became apparent, Anderson says, that the Army knew what +it wanted to do with the find. "there was a battalion of military, a +real invasion force, when we got back up on the hilltop. Thee were +trucks, there wre airplanes - they had the road blocked off and they +wre landing on it. They had radio communications gear set up. There +were ambulances, and more soldiers with weapons." + In the days that followed, all of New Mexico was abuzz with talk of +strange lights in the sky, strange echos on radar, strange doings in +the desert. On July 7, new reports told of remnants of an +unidentified aircraft found by a rancher near the town of Roswell, +N.M. about 150 miles east of the hillside where the Anderson's stumbled +upon the saucer. + Although several witnesses said it was like nothing they'd ever +seen before, military officers insisted the metallic pieces came from +an ordinary weather balloon..... + +A WEATHER BALLOON? + + Forty three years later, Anderson smiles wryly when reminded of the +Army's pronouncement, "A lot of people wondered why, if it was just a +weather balloon, the military put the pieces under armed guard and flew +them in a B-29 to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio," he observes. + Anderson believes the wreckage scattered near Roswell and the barely +damaged saucer on the Plains of San Agustin are connected. "There was a +gash in the side of the disc we saw, like it had been crushed in," he says. +"The contour of the craft would fit into that gash perfectly - like another +one of these things had hit it. I think two of these discs had a mid-air +collision. One exploded and feel in pieces near Roswell, and the other +crash-landed where we found it. + With all evidence confiscated and the military steadfastly sticking +by the weather balloon explanation, the story faded from the news by July's +end. And Gerald Anderson says he tucked away the memory as he grew into +manhood. "I learned you just don't go up to the average person on the +street and say, "Damn, know what I saw?" The guy will go, "Get away from +me, fool! Are you crazy?" In later life, he didn't mention it even to his +wife until a few years after their marriage. + Anderson joined the Navy in the late 1950s and served a dozen years in +posts around the globe. He lived for a few years in Colorado, working as a +parmedic and working toward a college degree in microbiology. In 1979, he +moved to Missouri to better raise his daughter away from what he terms the +"druggy" atmosphere of Denver. In addition to his law enforcement posts, +Anderson has worked for two southwest Missouri trucking firms as a driver +and instructor. + Anderson also has been active in the Episcopal Church. He recently was +elected to the vestry at Ascension Episcopal in Springfield and is studying +toward becoming a deacon. A gold crucifix - a cross complete with a +figure of the martyred Christ affixed to it - suspended from a chain around +Anderson's neck is testimony to his faith. + + +NO CONFLICT IN BELIEFS + + Although he concedes his account might make some fellow churchgoers +uncomfortable, Anderson sees no conflict between what he saw with his eyes +and what he believes in his heart: "When you're talking about the concept +of God, you have to be talking in the context of a universal situations, a +deity that built the whole universe. And why should we assume that this +speck of sand in the backwater of space would be the only place that an +all-perfect, almighty God could create life?" + In fact, Anderson says he "wouldn't be one bit surprised to find out +that, wherever this creature came from, there they have a very strong +concept of a supreme being. Because of my contact with the creature showed +a high degree of civilized sophistication, gentleness, compassion - all of +the things we hold as ideals." + Of the five anderson men who ventured into the desert that day in 1947, +only Gerald is still alive. Age, illness and accidents claimed the other +four in recent years. But not only andersons were at the scene, Gerald +says, and he hopes his decision to come forth, albeit belated, will +encourage others to tell what they know and spur official revelations about +the captured craft and creatures. + "I want to see the government stand up and say, 'Look, we're not alone +in the universe. + Let's make a 'Star Trek' really happen. Let's do go out there and explore +the universe. That may be our only salvation. Because with what's doing to +this Earth, we're not going to make it much past the year 2000." + +-+-----end of story-------------- + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

"His Fascination with the +unknown is as old as knowledge itself. But untill now, much of our +ignorance of these subjects could be ascribed to lack of suitable mass +communications.

The +classified fleet also comprises a number of large-winged concept +demonstrators that evolved into the Air Force's B-2 bomber and the Navy's +A-12 next-generation attack aircraft. Several vehicles, though, appear to +incorporate technologies that outstrip those now employed by engineers +charged with developing more traditional, current-generation aircraft. + + A number of these aircraft have been seen and heard repeatedly by +ground-based and airborne observers in the western U.S. over the last few +years. Based on about 45 reports provided by people who have seen, heard or +had access to the advanced aircraft, there now appear to be at least two - +but probably more - distinct types of vehicles! + + * A triangular-shaped, *quiet* aircraft seen with a flight of Lockheed +F-117A stealth fighters several times since the summer of 1989. This may be a +demonstrator or prototype of the General Dynamics/McDonnell Douglas A-12. +Navy officials recently noted that full-size test models will soon be +"exposed to public view" during testing, suggesting that predecessors of the +A-12 are already flying. + + * A high-speed aircraft characterized by a very loud, deep, rumbling +roar reminiscent of heavy-lift rockets. When observed at medium altitude, +this aircraft type often makes a pulsing sound and leaves a thick, segmented +smoke trail or contrail. Lighting patterns indicate the aircraft is on the +order of 100+ ft. long, but no reliable description of a planform has been +reported to Aviation Week & Space Technology. + + * A high-altitude aircraft that crosses the night sky at extremely high +speed. Normally, *no engine noise or sonic boom is heard*. The vehicle +typically is observed as a single, *bright light* - sometimes pulsating - +flying at speeds far exceeding other aircraft in the area, and at altitudes +estimated to be above 50,000 ft. Such aircraft have been reported by both +ground-based and airborne observers.

These are supported by additional reports of similar vehicles seen and +heard around remote central Nevada communities near government ranges +operated by the Energy Dept. and the Air Force. + + Possibly prototypes of concept demonstrators of the Air Force B-2 or +Navy A-12, the fairly flat, triangular-shaped vehicles have a rounded nose, +rounded wingtips and probably no vertical tail surfaces. The flying wings' +trailing edges may be slightly curved, but definitely are not sawtooth-shaped +like those of the Air Force's B-2 bomber, according to reports received so +far. One ovserver in Nevada described the shape as "like a manta ray." + + Key sightings include: + + * A daytime observation near the Tehachapi mountains (about 30 mi. +northwest of Edwards AFB) in early May verified this craft's triangular +shape. Numerous earlier sightings had been at night, although several were +under a near-full moon that provided enough illumination to identify a large, +triangular planform. The Tehachapi report noted that the aircraft was +light-colored, but had a dark area near the center of the trailing edge, +presumed to be the engine exhaust area. + + * On the night of May 3, 1990, a quiet aircraft matching the triangular +description was reported by five different observers over a 4-hr. period. One +or more of the aircraft made multiple passes over Tehachapi, Mojave, +Lancaster and Palmdale, Calif., during this time. + + * A triangular aircraft also has been seen flying with multiple-ship +Lockheed F-117A flights. Typically, the stealth fighters fly alone, spaced +about 8-10 min. apart - a general pattern that has characterized F-117 +operations since they were first observed in California in mid-1989. + + However, on several occasions, the larger, traingular aircraft appeared +on the same general flight path as the F-117As. It was seen after about three +or four of the stealth fighters had passed, yet was ahead of another three or +four. It has been spotted repeatedly over the northern end of the Antelope +Valley, near Edwards AFB and Mojave, Calif., as well as in central Nevada. + + This vehicle is quiter that the F-117As - which already are +substantially quieter than an F-15 or F-16 - and definitely larger. It +normally displays a lighting pattern similar to that of the F-117s - single +amber lights under the wingtips and a red beacon near the nose - but can be +distinguished by its characteristic hushed engine noise and larger planform. + + All observer descriptions of the triangular aircraft correlated closely, +and the observer who reported seeing the vehicle before sunset sketched a top +view. That sketch matched descriptions of similar vehicles supposedly seen in +Nevada-based government hangars several years ago and flying in military +operating areas nearby... + + ...A totally separate, distinctly different type of aircraft seen and +heard in California and Nevada over the last year is characterized by a loud, +very deep, rumbling engine noise, At times, the exhaust noise is punctuated +by a slow-frequency (about 1 Hz.) pulsing sound, which has prompted observers +to call this aircraft the "pulser." The aircraft also produces a +sausage-link-shaped smoke trail or vapor contrail when it is pulsing. This +vehicle is not the triangular-shaped aircraft discussed earlier, and may be +capable of hypersonic speeds. + + At other times, however, the aircraft exhibits a more continuous noise +without the pulsing characteristic. Observers are confident it is the same +type of aircraft, based on its distinctive deep, loud roar. + + There have been multiple reports of "pulser" flights, including: + + * The first, in July, 1989, at about 3 a.m. near Edwards AFB, Calif. The +vehicle was at medium altitude, flying very fast and exhibiting the +characteristic pulsing sound. The "pulser's" position was marked by a *white +glow*, rather than a distinct point of light. + + * An early evening takeoff from Edwards AFB on Oct. 18, 1989. + + * Multiple reports of an aircraft having a deep, pulsing roar flying +over central and eastern Nevada during the early morning hours throughout the +past year. + + * Eight separate reports of an aircraft exhibiting the same +characteristics, always flying on a northerly heading near Mojave, Calif., +between midnight and about 5 a.m. It was typically at lower altitude and +slower speeds than when first seen in July, often had a slower pulsing sound +and displayed only two position lights. + + * Six reports of an extremely fast-moving vehicle in southern +California's skies, ranging from Santa Barbara on the Pacific coastline to +near George AFB at the eastern end of the Antelope Valley. These aircraft +typically were flying at very high altitude, were seen as a *single bright +light*, and seldom changed direction. Speed changes have been observed, and, +on occasion, a pulsing red or white light was seen. Whether these so-called +fast movers also are the "pulser" aircraft is not known. + + A Santa Barbara observer estimated the aircraft crossed "some 350 mi. of +night sky off the Pacific Missile Range bases in about 6 min." (about 3450 +mph!) One Aviation Week & Space Technology editor estimated a similar +aircraft - seen as a bright point of white light - required less than 20 sec. +to transit about 70 deg. of sky... + + ...On Oct. 18, 1989, the "pulser" apparently took off from North Base, +an airfield at the north end of the Edwards AFB complex primarily devoted to +classified programs. The noise from that takeoff was described as extremely +loud, with a deep, throaty rumble that shook houses 16 mi. away, drawing +residents into the street. One observer claimed the noise compared with that +of Saturn 5 rocket tests conducted at Edwards AFB in the 1960s and 1970s. + + Although no lights were seen, the deep, vibrating roar continued for +about 5 min., and its source appeared to be climbing steeply to the north. +"Your eyes tended to follow the noise; something was climbing at a very steep +angle," one observer noted. Residents of surrounding communities reported +that the sound "was like the sky ripping," and was unlike anything they had +heard in the Edwards area for years. + + The same pulsing, very loud, rumbling type of engine noise has been +reported by multiple observers in central Nevada as well. It typically was +heard in the early morning hours and was described as having a 1-2 Hz. pulse +rate. One Nevada-based observer said tha same pulsing aircraft departed from +the Groom Lake range and flew over a neaby community as recently as Aug. 6. +It was "the loudest thing I've ever heard.

Doubleday: New York, 1988. 179 pages. $15.95. Hardcover. + +"Although I am among those who believe that UFOs are real physical objects, I do not think they are extraterrestrial in the ordinary sense of the term. In my view they present an exciting challenge to our concept of reality itself," says astrophysicist-parapsychologist-computer scientist Dr. Jacques Vallee, in what is probably the most penetrating and comprehensive assessment of the UFO experience, bar none (except possibly for still-classified government and military material). + +To put it bluntly, Vallee says, the UFO phenomenon does not give evidence of being spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrials at all. Instead "it appears to be inter-dimensional, and to manipulate physical realities outside of our own space-time continuumÉ" Dimensions is a debunking work, but, unlike those of skeptics such as Philip Klass, Vallee does not explain away and dismiss UFOs, or intend to do so. And unlike certain fundamentalist preachers, who have a view of UFOs somewhat akin to Vallee's position, Dimensions leads to an even greater appreciation of the phenomenon--as he intends. + +Vallee examines case after case of "alien contact" to show that each one has aspects not explainable in terms of the conventional view. Especially in Chapter 9, "The Case Against Extraterrestrials," he calls into fundamental question some of the most famous and well-researched incidents, such as that of Betty and Barney Hill. The Hill Star Map, widely thought by ufologists to be evidence of extraterrestrial contact, was, in Vallee's judgment, quite useless for navigation--a "map to nowhere"--and was shown to Betty Hill for disinformation purposes. + +Likewise, the abduction cases reported in Budd Hopkins' Intruders and elsewhere have aspects that make no sense in extraterrestrial terms; the "medical" exams and surgical procedures performed on abductees are "ludicrous and grotesque" because much of what occurs is inept, unsophisticated and, while seemingly illogical, is indicative to Vallee of a "metalogical" purpose. Moreover, ufologists such as Hopkins "fail to point out that these modern stories [of sexual intercourse with aliens who are experimenting with human genetics] are consistent with perplexing accounts that have come to us from earlier times, from the oldest records we have." + +Equally unexplained is the huge number of UFO landings. Vallee's estimate, which he claims has been repeatedly verified, is three million landings in the last two decades--a figure he calls "totally absurd" for an advanced extraterrestrial civilization merely reconnoitering Earth. "This is one of the little-recognized facts of the UFO problem that any theory has yet to explainÉ Either the UFOs select their witnesses for psychological or sociological reasons, or they are something entirely different from space vehicles." + +Vallee's research began in the 1960s as research assistant to the recently-deceased dean of UFO research, Dr. J. Allen Hynek. He quickly established a reputation as a brilliant investigator and thinker with Anatomy of a Phenomenon and Challenge to Science--books in which he himself embraced the extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis. In his pioneering 1969 study of UFOs and folklore, Passport to Magonia (which examines "the oldest records we have" in detail), he broke ranks, moving to a position best described by the term Hynek coined, "metaterrestrial" (roughly synonymous with "metaphysical" but without the connotation of something beyond examination by science). Dimensions sums up both Vallee's work since then and UFO research in general, establishing new standards against which all further ufological work must be measured. +Although a UFO is "both a physical entity with mass, inertia, volume, and physical parameters that we can measure," Vallee says, he believes it is also "a window into another reality" that "stretches the boundaries of the scientific method." Nevertheless, he adds, "I am not prepared to abandon the rational approach to knowledge for conclusions based on faith, intuition, or the alleged messages received by 'channels' and contactees. There is too much at stake." + +Elsewhere Valle states [in the context of examining some UFO cases that may be the result of government agencies experimenting with rumor generation and psychological warfare], "I believe that it is imperative for scientists to study UFOs. But we should not do it naively. It has become impossible to study any UFO report without considering the possibility of a deliberate deception along with all the other classical hypotheses." +The deception he sees of greatest significance is not governmental but something that originates with nonhuman intelligences from planes of existence beyond the physical. Vallee's thesis is this: the UFO phenomenon is both physical and psychic (or paraphysical) in nature, it "manipulates space and time in ways our scientific concepts are inadequate to describe," it has been associated with humanity for millennia (as recorded in legend and folklore), and it "represents evidence for other dimensions beyond spacetime,"--a "multiverse" populated by life forms noted in age-old traditions as angels, demons, fairies, elves and so forth. + +Vallee does not facilely conclude that UFOs are in fact such mythic creatures or controlled by them. However, he does see a distinct religious/spiritual import to the UFO phenomenon. He also sees a pattern to it which includes all such supernatural creatures and whose purpose is "not contact but control." + +"I propose that there is a spiritual control system for human consciousness and that paranormal phenomena like UFOs are one of its manifestations. I cannot tell whether this control is natural and spontaneous; whether it is explainable in terms of genetics, of social psychology, or of ordinary phenomena--or if it is artificial in nature, under the power of some superhuman will. It may be entirely determined by laws that we have not yet discovered." + +The bottom line for humanity, Vallee says, is this: the social impact of the UFO experience is "changing our culture in the direction of a new image of man" through subtle psychological means that are best understood as as Skinnerean operant conditioning. For what purpose is humanity being taught? The answer will probably emerge as "the next form of religion" already being seen in various UFO cults and isolated "true believers" whose lifestyle is centered around "that ancient dream of our civilization, of every civilization: contact with alien beings." + +A profile of "the next form of religion" is well presented by Brad Steiger in The Fellowship. His thesis is that "UFO contactees may be evolving prototypes of a future evangelism. They may be heralds of a New Age religion, a blending of technology and traditional religious concepts." However one regards the UFO phenomenon, he points out, the undeniable fact remains that thousands of people around the world have made UFOs "a symbol of religious awakening and spiritual transformation." + +The Fellowship describes a large number of people and organizations whose existence is oriented toward "spiritual contact between humans and outer space beings," although those beings, Steiger points out, may come not from other planets but from other planes--precisely the situation Vallee suspects. The testimony of these people and the entities they communicate with through the process known as channeling constitute a seedbed from which Vallee's "new image of man" is already sprouting--although Vallee undoubtedly would refuse membership in such a movement until the entities' credentials and purposes are reliably established. + +Steiger is perhaps the most prolific chronicler of the New Age. As author of more than one hundred books, with worldwide sales of ten million copies, he deals with the fields of consciousness research, paranormal phenomena, metaphysics and higher human development. Himself a contactee at age five, he has studied the UFO phenomenon since the 1950s. One of his most important discoveries (described in his Star People books and summarized in The Fellowship ) is the unusual physical and psychological characteristics of people who subjectively feel their true home is not Earth, but another planet, another star system--somewhere else in the universe. This is a thought-provoking subject, not easily ignored after reading what he has to say about it. + +The Fellowship focuses on communications apparently given by nonhuman sources whose purpose is to nurture the evolutionary development of Man. The nature of the sources themselves has, in Steiger's judgment, not been clearly identified yet (although many contactees will adamantly state otherwise). The problem is that in the UFO experience, outer space and inner space lose distinct boundaries and "reality" takes on a subjective aspect indicating mind-matter interaction. Steiger doesn't rule out the simple hypothesis of extraterrestrial contact, but says he leans toward the theory that "UFOs may be our neighbors right around the corner in another space-time continuum. What we have thus far been labeling 'spaceships' may be, in reality, multidimensional mechanisms or psychic constructs of our paraphysical companions." + +Steiger wonders whether the sources are "nonphysical entities from an invisible realm in our own world, or physical beings who have the ability to attain a state of invisibility and to materialize and dematerialize both their bodies and their vehicles." He allows for both possibilities and sees still another--an intelligence that has a physical structure so unlike the human one that it presents itself "in a variety of guises, and employs invisibility, materialization, and dematerialization at different times in order to accomplish its goal of communication with our species." + +But it is the message, rather than the messenger, which most concerns Steiger. "Whoever and whatever the Space Beings may be--whether cosmic missionaries or projections of the Higher-Self [collective human consciousness]," he says, "the channeled material contained in this book may be the scriptures and theological treatises of the New Age." They constitute what Steiger describes as a "testament for a space-age religion" or "the new gospels for an evolving religion that will be structured to serve the spirit of the Oneness that will sustain humankind in its space odyssey to the stars." + +Among the Fellowship contactees we meet are Fred Bell, a Laguna Beach inventor; Aleuti Francesca, "Telethought Channeler" for the Solar Light Center in Central Point, Oregon; Yolanda of the Mark-Age Metacenter in Miami, Florida; Robert Short of the Blue Rose Ministry, Cornville, Arizona; George King of the Aetherius Society; and Moi-Ra and Ra-Ja Dove of Aquarian Perspectives, Lytle Creek, California. + +Through these channels come communications from Space Beings such as Semjase, a beautiful female from the planet Erra in the Pleiades (Steiger notes that the Hopi Indians consider themselves to be direct descendents of the inhabitants of the Pleiades); Ashtar, commandant of station Share in Blaau, the fourth sector of Bela, who reports to the Council of Seven Lights, rulers of the Cosmos; Sananda (Mark-Age's name for Jesus); A-Lan; Master Aetherius of Venus; Sut-ko; Ox-Ho of the Fourth Dimension; Orlon from the XY7 craft; Xyclon, a "space psychologist;" Ishkomar, an intelligence recorded into a machine aboard a spaceship thousands of years ago; and a host of other heavenly entities. + +And what do they tell humanity? The communications cover a great variety of topics, but certain themes recur. Steiger summarizes them as "the Outer Space Apocrypha." In briefest form, they declare: + +¥ Humanity is in a transitional period before the dawn of a New Age. If we do not raise our consciousness, severe earth changes and major cataclysms will take place. If we do, an era of peace, love and understanding will follow and an apocalyptic Doomsday will be avoided. + +¥ Humanity is not alone in the universe. More advanced beings have information they wish to impart to us. They are now inviting us to realize our oneness with the cosmos and to join them in an intergalactic spiritual federation. + +The central ideas, despite their space age garb, are actually quite ancient. They amount to a call for spiritual living on the basis of value-realization and character development. An entity known as Korton offers this guidance: "Do not seek after material goods or power, but seek to gain in spiritual growth and potentialÉ Be fair to all you meet. Live with justice, ethics, and morals, which you mete out to yourself, as well as to those with whom you come into contact. Fear not, and walk in the way of those who always seek the truth of things." Who can argue with that? +Steiger comments that these "ageless messages of revelation" have an internal consistency, indicating that the Mind of God is, in some sense, endlessly broadcasting the same thing to all the world's saints, mystcis and other inspired men and women of history. "But if the prophets of 3000 B.C., the apostles of 30 A.D., and the UFO contactees of 1980 have all been receiving essentially the same messages, then might we not conclude that the very repetition of a basic program of spiritual and physical survival may be evidence of the vital relevancy and the universality of certain cosmic truths?" +  + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Because the case +is still on going and also because of all the senstionalist press the Ed +Walters case is NOT one they wish to debate. Many thanks to Terry Ecker +foracting as the local host in Florida. With that behind us, Carol? Rex? Do +you have any opening remarks? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We just want o thank you for having us as guests. ga + +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(Bert) ? + +(5-6,Jack) ? + +(5-3,Ted) I will open the floor to ? and !. Please type a "?" or a "!" if you +have a question or comment and I will take your name down and flag you when +it is your turn. GA Vince + +(5-1,Vince) Rex would like to know your background and how you became +interested in ufo's? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Retired Air Force 31 years rasnk colonel, pilot for 20 +plus, R&D last 15 years. POresently teach college parttime. Have always +been interested in UFOs, just been more active past couple of years Carol and +a friend saw three daylight disks in spring of 88, Pardon Terry's typing. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Bert is next GA + +(Bert) ok... +Rex and Carol, one of the more significant signtings by multiple +witnesses seems to have been the one on Sept. 12, 1989 involving +about 35 witnesses including 12 MUFON investigators. The recent +in the Sentinel (9/21/89) suggested that this was a +"type II" object (i.e. like photos 20 and 22 in the "book"). +I understand that Bruce Maccabee analyzed photographs of this event +Have the results of this analysis been completed and was the object +indeed a "type II'? Also have your own investigations involved this +particular event or related events? Thanks. GA + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) First, we doubt that there were 35 witnesses. Anyway, fewer than half saw it, and not all of +the MUFON investigators saw it. It was just aq red dot kin the sky. One photo was taken, not nalyzed to our knowledge. +We don't consider that a significant sighting by any means. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Jack is next. GA + +(5-6,Jack) Rex and Carol , I am most interested in any physical evidence that may be associated +with the GB sightings. Has any been found or is the bulk of the evidence +primarily photos and sightings ? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Many persons have mysterious physical marks +on their bodies, such as puncture wounds, new scars with no previous wound, +etc. Not many photos, and few of them show much. We have a few small pieces +of metal which were gathered from inside the car after the driver was struck +by something on the left shoulder; metal not yet analyzed. ga + +(5-10,Steve) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Steve + +(5-10,Steve) Rex, As a retired military officer. What is your opinion as to +the extent of official government cover up and/or involvment at GB and at +other UFO sites, ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We think it's obvious the government has always covered up +to someextent. We have no evidence to indicate government involvement in +the cases here. ga + +(Bert)? + +(5-3,Ted) While we are waiting for the next round of ?s and !s I have a ? +Carol or Rex, just how many people have sighted the GB UFO and how many have +shown body markings? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Gulf Breeze UFO is misleading. Many different types have been +seen, all shapes, all sizes some with markings, some with windows. +Triangular shapes transparent UFOs, arrow head shapes, cigar shaped and disks. +The GB (Walters) UFO not seen by many. ga + +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert + +(Bert) Could you describe one or two of what you feel are your most significant +cases. Particularly involving on of the skin wounds if possible. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Good ? Bert GA C&R + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Two witnesses, mother and daughter, are with us tonight. +One has wounds on her arm in the shape of the object she saw, delta shaped. +They wer standing in their driveway; the object covered their yard and the +yard next door - about 150 feet. Had a bright white light on front, a red +light on each corner. It was followed by a cigar shaped object with a white +light on the left and a red light on the right; both were followed by a very +small red light that appeared to be trying to catch up. There was no sound. +We just held hands as they went over us at treetop level. We jumped in our +car and tried to follow it, lost sight, but seen again six miles to the east +in reverse order. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Any missing time? ga +(Bert) ?follow + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Not that either is aware of. They were disoriented and +lethargic for a few days. Hypnosis has been attempted with no conclusive +results so far. Body markings are as yet unexplained. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Bert has a follow up ? Then it's Matt's turn. GA Bert + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Hi Don. +(Bert) Have the two witnesses had any further sightings and/or is this a +one-time thing? ga + +(5-15,DON) Hello all. + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Yes, many times beginning in 1958 and some since. On one +occasion we followed one to their house and all four of us saw it. ga +Same object shape etc.?ga + +(5-6,Jack) ? + +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) They have seen several sizes and shapes. The one we +followed to their house was just a round white ball. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Matt GA +(5-3,Ted) Matt are you still with us? ga + +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) Not on the list. + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) ! + +(5-3,Ted) Ok Matt, I had you down for a ? my mistake. GA R&C + +[NOTE: Ted was having problems with his CIM Software and CosmicThAng/Philly +was showing up as Matt on his computer. Hence, a LOT of confusion!] + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We have one long term case dating back 16 years to the +abduction of the mother in Germany. Through hypnosis she has total recall of +the event and has povided detailed descriptions of the craft and the + entities. Th craft was a 40 foot disk with a crew of six. One had died nd a +second ship was bringing a replacement crew member. Entities looked like +greys in silver suits. They seemed capable of emotion such as anger, +compassion, etc. The family has had more than 20 sightings here during the +past year. ga + +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) ? + +(5-3,Ted) Ok GA MATT + +(Bert) Looks like only Ted can see Matt the phantom.ga + +(5-3,Ted) Ok Jack is next GA Jack + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No Matt on the list here. + +(5-6,Jack) Ok... + + +(Bert) Hmmmm, not here.ga +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) Wait a second. Ted says I'm Matt. I'm CosmisThAng +and I'm next. ga + +(5-6,Jack) Regarding the pieces of metal when is the completed analysis +expected? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Analysis will *begin* when we find someone who can do it. +(cheap). ga + +(Bert) ? + +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Vince + +(5-1,Vince) Is there any local concern by citizens in the area is there any +local govt concern for citizens safety or is there not concern? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Well, we would say that spreading interest is more descriptive +than concern, although some do have concerns. Local government seems to have +no official position but are very cooperative with us on investigastions. We +know of no one who has been physically harmed by the phenomena, except for +the small wounds we have mentioned. ga + +(5-7,Paula) ? + +(5-3,Ted) Folks Css is next. For some reason (probably a CIM bug) he is +showing up as Matt on my list. Oh, well, GA Cosmic + +(5-11,CosmicThAng/Philly) My questions also deal with bodily marks. +Is there an repeated pattern as to mark type or location?? To re-ask Ted's ?, +how many GB folks have marks? Also is there any history or occu4rance of +migraine headache disorders among the potential abductees? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No identifiable pattern of marks locally, butt call-ins +from other areas have triangular marks mainly. Don't know how many Pensacola +area folks have marks. (We say Pensacola area since most events happen +outside of GB. There are many folks with migraine headaches, buzzing in the +ears. There is possible correlation with contactees. ga + +(Bert) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert + +(Bert) Actually I think Paula is next. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Paula + +(5-7,Paula) If not, any theories? Thanks ga + +(5-9,Russ) ? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No, but for what it's worth, one name we were given +was Zorcon. We have another contactee with us tonight whose experience goes +back at least 16 years and has written a book on the subject. ga + +(5-3,Ted) I want to hear more about that after Bert"s ? ga Bert + +(Bert) Rex, can you describe the metal object (poss. alien artifact) that +you mentioned earlier? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Very small, BB size, rough ut shiny, like little metl +pebbles. ga + +(5-3,Ted) ANy follow Bert? + +(Bert) Yes, does it break appart easily? And have you looked at it under a +microscope? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No, we can't break it. It hasn't yet been examined under +microscope. + +(5-3,Ted) Since I have obviously been have a problem with CIM software +tonight I want to be sure that i have not missed anybody... + +(5-3,Ted) Is there anyone out there that has been skipped over? ga + +(5-9,Russ) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Russ + +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(5-9,Russ) I was wondering if you have noticed any change in the frequency +of sightings in Florida since 1958? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Can't say since 58. Frequence has been relatively constant +the last three years. Before that we weren't here or involved. There are +reports of considerable activity on Eglin AFB in 1976-77-78-79. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Vince is next. Ga + +(5-9,Russ) ? +(Bert) ? + +(5-1,Vince) Rex, when did you retire and did you have any military related +sightings? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) 1983. Sighting in early 60s hih over KC. Mo. We were at +33,000 and UFO up around 40,000. K.C. paper next day reported a landing in +Kansas. ga + +(5-7,Paula) ? +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Russ + +(5-9,Russ) Have thre been any reports of the infamous "Men In Black"? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No. Carol had one Man in Black reporting and nother +witness claims to have seen alien at the MUFON Symposium in July. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert +(Bert) Your mentioning of a "buzzing in the ear" of a number of witnesses +is this the same type of buzzing involved in the Walters' case? Also +is the support group still meeting -- i.e. in the absence of Overlaid? +And if so, how many people attending. Thanks. ga + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) ? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) No on the Walters hum, other have hih pitched ringing while +others have moderate hum, sometimes with sightings. Support group dissolved +before Overlade died. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Paula is next GA + +(5-7,Paula) Excuse my ignorance (I'm new to this topic), but what does MUFON +stand for? Also tell us about the book you mentioned earlier. Thanks ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) MUFON = Mutual UFO Network. The book is *Star Bright, Star +White* by Norman Hill of Pensacola. I don't know whether it's permitted to +talk about the book, price of how to get it. Will let Ted say. ga + +(5-3,Ted) Plug away! ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) P.O. Box 16040, Warrington FL 32507. $10 plus $2 +shipping & handling this is a self published hardcover book by a man who has +had many sightings east of here, near Tallahassee, and numerous contacts with +several different entity groups. Normn has spent many nights camping at the +site where he has seen UFOS tkoff and land - the same site where. The site is + on St. Joe Paper Co. land. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Vince (then Cosmic) + +(5-1,Vince) ok... +(5-1,Vince) Are we any closer to solving the mystery and does there appear to +be any govt interest in the GB area sightings.ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We see no signs of government interest here, nor that we are +close to solving the mystery. Sorry. ga + +(Bert) ? + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) Got a follow up, Vince? ga + +(5-1,Vince) no + +(5-3,Ted) GA Cos + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) R&C: You said earlier that the hum sound +correlated with sightings. Did you mean to indicate that all sounds +correlated (thusly)?..or just the hum sound. Any correlation with the high +pitched sound? I've heard that for years and years since childhood. ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) The hum, etc. and sightings are seldom simultaneous, +apparently.Correlation is only possible, not established. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert +(Bert) Regarding the metal pieces recovered +did I understand correctly that there are several pieces that all +appeared during the same event and that they are all BB sized hard +objects? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Yes, three of them. ga + +(Bert) ?follow +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert + +(5-1,Vince) ? +(Bert) Where were they found? i.e. on the floor of the car or +"stuck" to something in the car? thanks. ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) On the floor. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Vince + +(5-1,Vince) Have you had any other military flyers relate ufo incidents to +you and was yours reported?ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Other flyiers yes, but not for the record. Ours not +reported. ga + +(Bert) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Bert +(Bert) Anything new on the AWOL group? And what do you think of this strange +scenario? ga + +(5-6,Bruce G) ? +(5-1,Vince) ? +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We talked to four of them three or four weeks ago. They +said they know nothing of "Rapture" or finding the anti-Christ. They repeated +they felt they had to leave Germany but not U.S. Army. Claimed they liked +their work. They had been reading the Bible, mostly. Revelations. Possible +they may have experienced paranormal things in Germany. These paranormal +events continued after they left. They consider themselves as being a simple +AWOL case. They had hoped to meet Bill Cooper since one of his papers bears +similarity to their reading of the Bible. They intend to release details of +their experience to the media soon. ga + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) ? + +(5-3,Ted) GA Vince + +(5-1,Vince) Pretty serious offense (AWOL) did the army just let them go and +what were their motives?ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) AWOL is not too serious. Most go back. Reportedly Army has +600 AWOLs a month. Army granted general discharges to these six. Their +motives were to leave Germany, which they have not yet explained. ga + +(5-3,Ted) GA Cosmic! +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) Dealing strictly with pure, unsubstantiated +instinct. Dis you feel that the GB6 were speaking with total candor. Did they + seem afraid of saying the wrong thing? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Yes, we thought they were speaking with candor, and they +were not afraid. We had been aware of their interest in the writings of +Bill Cooper for several months before their arrival in GB.... + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) We are also aware of their interest in psychic studies. ga + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) follow up? + +(5-3,Ted) Follow Cos? + +(5-10,CosmicThAng/Philly) So the GB & UFO connections are pure coincidence??? +Bill Cooper and GB, BOTH?? ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) It appears to be coincidence at this time. They came to GB +to visit a friend. They think their AWOL case has been blown out of +proportion as well as their "involvement" with UFOs. ga +(Bert) ? Ted got dumped. Rex with all the sightings by multiple witnesses +I think there are 290 plus now, if I remember correctly,. has there been any +thought of having an organized ffort to request (or perhaps DEMAND) an +official investigation i.e. by government officials. I would think there +would be enough people to sign something that would give it a little weight. +But of course we know what the gov. position would probably be. ga + +(5-1,Vince) ? + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Most witnesses are reluctant to have their names divulged, +such as the signing a petition. Any demand would have to be made at +presidential level since decision to withhold UFO information is also made +at that level. We locally lack clout to demand anything. We consider +ourselves fortunate that so many witnesses/contactees have the guts to share +their experiences with us. We would hate to dry up that source. ga + +(5-8,Ted ) Sorry folks I got dumped. Who is next? ga + +(Bert) I think Vince is up. + +(5-1,Vince) I agree AWOL as such is not that serious but most are just guys +that oversleep. It doesn't appear that they had any intention of returning +and what or where is it stated that the release of UFO information is made at + presedential level?ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) At the time of their arrest the six were debasting their +futures turn themselves in to the Army, hide out in the hills or what. They +repeated several times that their intuition was to leave Germany and not the +Army. If you believe the MJ-12 documents and the President Carter statements +regarding UFOs, one could form the conclusion that such decisions are indeed +made at presidential level. The one case with which I am familiar involving a +foreign country, the disclosure decisions were made by the president. ga + +(5-1,Vince) follow + +(5-8,Ted ) GA Vince + +(5-6,Bruce G) ? + +(5-1,Vince) If you believe in the MJ-12 documents there has to be a large +scale coverup and a large infrastructure in not only the military but other +agencies to manage the wealth of information, sightings etc that continue to +be reported. This appears to be too well hidden.ga + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) It is hard to know how large the infrastructure might be, +however in personal contact with former Bluebook workers and others, they +relate that considerable UFO related information was systematically withheld +from the public. ga + +(5-8,Ted ) GA Bruce + +(5-6,Bruce G) This may sound silly, but is there a viable alternative to the +gov't as far as the public is concerned, to report incidental contacts or +sightings... + +(5-6,Bruce G) like a 1-900-SAW-AUFO? ga + +(5-8,Ted ) $25 for the first 30 seconds! + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) There is MUFON, n international reporting and investigative +organization independent of the government. ga + +(5-8,Ted ) Anyone else with a ? or ! ga + +(Bert) +? +(5-8,Ted ) GA Bert + +(Bert) Rex and Carol, is there anything going on in the area there that we +may not have touched on that should be considered of major significance? i.e. +anything new on the "circles" or with animals etc. thx. ga + +(5-1,Vince) ! + +(5-5,Rex & Carol) Nothin new on the circles. Many people are heaing strange +knockings on their doors, windows and aroun the house lately. Several +sightings have been seen over electrical power substations, which mkes one +think maybe they are stealing electricity. About half of our sightings +have aircraft flying in the immediate vicinity. We are investigating a new +case of an event of Christmas 1989 where a lady and her car were abducted for +about 30 minutes. She recalls being 30 or so feet in the air with the car, +descending toward the road. She remembers seeing two types of entities; two +entities were about six feet tall with a lot of hair on their faces which +appeared like animal hair. These two were dressed in white gowns like +doctors. Four other entities were about three nd half feet tall and about as + wide. She couldn't see their features. Fat greys? ga + +(5-8,Ted ) GA Vince + +(5-1,Vince) Oh Rex btw before I forget, FLY NAVY!ga + +(5-8,Ted ) Any other ?s GA + +(5-8,Ted ) I want to thank Rex and Carol Salisberry for sharing their evening + with us.

MILTON WILLIAM COOPER + + +FILE: UFO2311 + + +Fellow computer enthusiasts, 11-24-89 + + What follows is a transcript of a 45 minute lecture that I at- +tended on 11-17-89 at the "Whole Life Expo." in Los Angeles, +California. Speaking was Mr. Milton William Cooper who I first +became acquainted with through a text file I downloaded from a +local computer BBS. The file dealt with the subject of UFO's and +our government's concealment of the truth about them in such a +way that it made a lasting impression on me, which is why I +attended his lecture; to learn more. Please forgive my probable +misspelling of some of the proper names in the transcript which +follows and allow that I have taken it as best I could, word- +for-word, from a less than acceptable micro-cassette recording. + If you are as moved by what you are about to read as I was in +hearing it first hand, I ask that you please spread it as far +and wide as possible. Upload it to every BBS in your reach and +please, don't change anything. Also, please give considerable +thought to Mr. Cooper's suggestions as to what we all can do to +see that this information is confirmed by our government to make +them stop what they are up to. + Thank you, and now, Milton Cooper: + + "For those of you who don't know who I am, I was raised in a +military family. My family, my ancestors, since they came to +this country, have been government people. We have served in the +military, we have been patriots, we have fought in all the wars, +we care about this country and believe in the constitution of +the United States. We know, as many people don't know, that the +Constitution of the United States of America IS the United +States of America! And that's why we've always been ready ...to +do the things needed ...to preserve and protect it." + "When I left home I went into the Air Force, the Strategic Air +Command. As a child I'd heard stories from my father and pilots, +other pilots, my father was a pilot, about Foo Fighters, UFO's, +strange craft that were not made on this Earth. And as a kid, +you hear that in passing, and it's neat, and you giggle about +it, and you go out and play "Space Man", and you forget it." + "When I was in the Air Force I met men who had participated in +alien crashed-craft recoveries. Now this intrigued me, it in- +terested me, but it was usually after quite a few bottles of +beer that these stories would come out, and sometimes the next +morning I couldn't remember what the heck the guy said." + "When I left the Air Force I went into the Navy, and this is +where everything began to happen for me. I had originally inten- +ded to just go from service to service and do something that +very few people have ever done before. I was a very adventurous, +very crazy ...young man, and I thought that that would be a +pretty exciting life. I volunteered for submarines, and while on +the submarine U.S.S. Tyroot, SS-416, on a transit between the +Portland/Seattle area and Pearl Harbor, which was our home port; +the Pearl Harbor sub base, as the port lookout I saw a craft, +saucer-shaped, the size of a Midway class carrier, aircraft +carrier, for those of you who don't know how big that is; it's +huge, come up out of the water approximately 2 1/2 nautical +miles off the port bow, which is about 45 degrees to the left of +the pointy end of the submarine. It tumbled slowly on its own +axis, and went up into the clouds. It appeared to be moving +slowly to me at a distance of 2 1/2 nautical miles, but in +reality it was moving pretty fast because it came up out of the +water, did a few tumbles and it was gone!" + "I then reported it to the officer of the deck. I didn't tell +him what it was that I saw because my Daddy didn't raise no +fools and in case nobody else saw it I didn't want to be the +only looney onboard the ship. So I asked the officer of the deck +to help me cover that area, and he did, which is common for of- +ficers and lookouts to help each other while on bridge watch be- +cause they all hang together if something bad happens. After a +few seconds of watching, the same craft, or another craft exact- +ly like it, came down out of the clouds, tumbled again on its +own axis, and went into the water. Ensign Ball, who was the of- +ficer of the deck, was literally shocked! What could I say? Sea- +man Dejeralimo, who was the starboard lookout, had also witnes- +sed this, and ensign Ball called the captain to the bridge who +was followed by the chief quartermaster who brought a 35MM cam- +era, and we watched for between 7 and 10 minutes the same craft, +or different craft that looked exactly alike, enter and leave +the water. It was an incredible show. I don't know if they knew +we were there, or if they even cared, but the craft did not +glow, they were metal, they were machines without a doubt, they +were obviously intelligently guided, they were HUGE, and having +been in the Air Force and the Navy and knowing what it takes, I +knew without a doubt, and know it today, that that machine was +not made on the face of this Earth. Because there's nothing that +man can make, that can fly through the air at a speed like that, +tumble on its own axis, and enter the water and effectively fly +beneath the sea." + "If you've ever been aboard an airplane and then gone aboard a +submarine, I know there's probably some of you in this room who +have visited a submarine at one time or another, you can readily +see just without even any of the technicalities involved how +difficult such a thing would be to do. Where would it be built, +that size? It was absolutely incredible. It changed my life +because then all the stories that I'd heard all my life I knew +were true, and I began seeing the world in a different light." + "It wasn't long after that I was trained by Naval security in +intelligence. I was sent to Viet Nam. I was assigned as a patrol +boat captain, first in DaNang harbor, given a crew, given a +multi-million dollar patrol boat. My job was to gather intel- +ligence from the people who lived around the harbor and the +fishermen who transited the harbor, and maintain the safety and +security of the harbor and the shipping. After about 5-months I +was sent up North to the DMZ, to a place called Qua Vieaf [sp], +on the Tacan [sp] river. Our base camp was at the river mouth. +We were only 3-miles South of the North Vietnamese border and +our job was to patrol the Tacan river from the river mouth to +Dang Ha [sp], and then up the Quang Tree [sp] cutoff to Quang +Tree city, again to get to know the people on the bank, gather +intelligence, and to patrol every night and maintain the safety +and security of the river and the river traffic." + "It was while there that I discovered that there was a tremen- +dous amount of UFO and alien activity in Viet Nam. It was always +reported in official messages as `enemy helicopters.' Now any of +you who know anything about the Viet Nam war know that the North +Vietnamese did not have any helicopters, especially after our +first couple of air raids into North Viet Nam. Even if they had +they would not have been so foolish as to bring them over the +DMZ because that would have insured their demise. Our troops +were fired on occasionally by these `enemy helicopters,' enemy +troops were fired on occasionally by these `enemy helicopters,' +and occasionally people would disappear. And on one instance +that I know for sure at least one entire village disappeared one +night due to alien activity. The reason they used the term +`enemy helicopters' in messages and dispatches was that in Viet +Nam you could be overrun at any time, no matter where you where. +They did not bring crypto encoding equipment into Viet Nam, I'm +talking about the machinery. What we did is we had crypto tab- +les, and once we every 24-hours those codes would be no good. So +that's what we used. We also, because of the inability to use +crypto transmitting equipment, had to devise code words such as +`enemy helicopters.'" + "When I left Viet Nam I was eventually attached to the head- +quarters staff of the Commander in Chief of the United States +Pacific Fleet at Macalappa, [sp] Hawaii, which is a little hill +overlooking Pearl Harbor, it's a beautiful white building up +there, and I was specifically attached to the Intelligence +Briefing Team of the Commander in Chief of the United States +Pacific Fleet." + "It was during this tour of duty that, in the course of my +duties, documents were placed in my hands that were so unbeliev- +able and so incredible that it took me quite a while to adjust +to the fact that what I was seeing was real. Now for those of +you who don't understand how I could come to see this informa- +tion let me give you a little short course in security clearance +and "the need to know" and how you get to see classified infor- +mation if you're in the military or in the government, it does- +n't matter which, the rules are the same." + "Number one you need a security clearance, and you've got to +have clearance at the level that the information you want to see +is classified at. In this instance it was classified `Top Sec- +ret, Magic, Restricted Information,' which I came to find out +later is the highest security classification in the Nation. To +get that type of clearance, all you have to have is a Federal +Bureau of Investigation background check, which takes about six +months and they send federal agents to your home, to your old +schools, to all your teachers, to your friends, to everybody you +put down on your security clearance forms, to all your old ad- +dresses, your neighbors, everybody that you've worked for, and +it's embarrassing because they don't tell them what they're +checking on. They just show them their identification and start +asking questions and that's when you find out who's your friend +and who's not, because a lot of people get scared and think, +`Bill just robbed a bank and I'm not talkin' to him anymore.'" + "Now once you get that it's called a `B.I.' and for those of +you who have received a copy of my service record look on the +first page, the DD-214 where it says `Security Clearance,' you +will see the term `B.I.' That's a `Bureau of Investigation' +clearance. Now at that point, you have the clearance for every- +thing including Top Secret and above. What determines what you +get to see is your need to know, and the job that you have de- +termines what your need to know is." + "I was assigned to the Intelligence Briefing Team of the Com- +mander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, who had to +know everything concerning his area of operations which was one- +half of the Earth's surface; the Indian ocean, the Pacific +ocean, and all the land masses in between. Believe it or not, if +we go to war, if we ever go to war, it's the United States Navy +that strikes the first blow and attempts to keep the enemy at +bey while we can get ourselves together, at least historically. +Nuclear weapons have kind of done away with that concept, but +military commanders like to talk about it anyway." + "Because of this, and you have no conception of the amount of +material and information that an area commander has to know, +it's unbelievable, and he has to keep track of this, he has to +keep on top of it. He has to know what's happening, he has to +make the right decisions. Because it's almost humanly impossible +for anyone to do that, they have what's called a briefing team, +and it's our job to make sure that he has the correct informa- +tion, all the time, on a 24-hour basis. And every morning, be- +tween 8 and 9 AM, we would give a briefing which covered every- +thing that happened in the previous 24-hours, and everything +scheduled to happen in the next 24-hours, and all the pertinent +intelligence reports that we had received since the last brief- +ing that he needed to know and that his staff members needed to +know. Occasionally we would get messages marked `Top Secret, +Magic, Restricted Information,' and it would be coded in such a +way that all you had were answers to questions which you didn't +know what the questions were so you really didn't know what the +message was all about." + "But eventually I found myself in possession, holding two +documents; one called `Project Grudge,' another one called `Op- +eration Majority.' Project Grudge contained the history of alien +involvement since around 1936, and it began talking about +Germany's involvement with a crashed-disk that they had reco- +vered in 1936 and were attempting to duplicate the technology. +They were not successful despite what all these Nazi hunters +want to tell you. If they had been successful, we would not have +won the war, because you cannot beat those weapons! You cannot +outfly those craft, you can't even think about it with conven- +tional aircraft. If Germany had been successful, we would now +have a German flag up in front of this podium." + "They did make some headway. When we went into Punta Mundy +[sp] we captured documents, we got some scientists, we got some +hardware. The Russians also got some documents, some scientists, +and some hardware. It wasn't until 1947 that we were able to +capture a craft, a whole craft, not all together but it was +everything. And that occurred near the city of Roswell, New +Mexico. There were dead aliens recovered from the craft. In Pro- +ject Grudge I saw photographs of these dead aliens, of the +craft, I saw photographs of live aliens, I saw photographs of +autopsies, internal organs, I saw photographs of the alien des- +ignated `E.B.'[or Ebe] which was held in captivity from 1949 un- +til June the 2nd, 1952 when he died. I saw the history of what +they had been able to at that time put together, from incidents +in the 1800's which involved aliens and their craft." + "I saw the names of projects. I saw a project that was to fly +recovered alien craft that had been recovered intact and undam- +aged, and some of them were recovered intact and undamaged, and +how that happened I have no idea. It was called `Project Red- +light,' and first was conducted from the Tonopah test range in +the Nevada test sight and then was moved to a specially built +area, ordered built by president Eisenhower, called `Area-51,' +code named `Dreamland,' in the Groom [sp] dry lake area of the +Nevada test sight, by secret executive order. It doesn't exist +officially, if you ask anyone, or if you write letters to the +government they will tell you it doesn't exist. However if you +go out there at several places and see it, fly outside the +boundaries and look down and see it, you know it's there, but +according to the government it doesn't exist." + "The project to fly, test fly these craft, was ongoing until +sometime in 1962 when a craft blew up not far from the test +sight, in the air, and the explosion was seen over a three-state +area. The pilots were killed, they had no idea what had happened +or why the craft blew up, but they put Project Redlight on hold +until a later date when the aliens supplied us with 3-craft and +personnel to help us learn how to fly these craft. That project +is ongoing and we now have not only alien craft that we are fly- +ing, we have craft we have built, using the captured technology, +and some of the UFO's that people report seeing in the United +States, and maybe even elsewhere, are flown by United States +personnel." + "That may come as a shock to you. We have technology way be- +yond the limits of what we have been told. A lot of our develop- +ment technologically, since the end of World War II, has been +due to the exchange of technology which occurs in the area +called `Area-51' on a regular basis ...ongoing." + "When James Oberth, professor Oberth retired, many of you +don't know who he is ...not too many space people in here. Pro- +fessor Oberth was probably one of the greatest rocket scientists +and space commentists that ever lived. When he retired, the gov- +ernment gave him a special award, there was a press conference, +all kinds of ceremony, and when he got up to speak he said, +`Gentlemen,' and I quote professor Oberth, he said, `Gentlemen, +we cannot take credit for all the technological developments +that we have had in the last decade. We have had help,' and +that's where he stopped." + "One of the reporters raised his hand and said, `Professor +Oberth, can you tell us what other country helped us?'" + "He said, `It was those little guys from out in space,' and +then he got down and and would not comment any further. Now this +occurred in 1959. I can go on and on but time doesn't allow it." + "I will tell you ladies and gentlemen that there are all kinds +of things going on all the time, we are making rapid progress in +exposing this. Since I have begun talking, people have been com- +ing out of the woodwork at a rapid rate, who know and have +pieces of this puzzle, and are helping us to put it together, +because I don't have all the answers. I saw an awful lot of ma- +terial, I have remembered an awful lot of it, I have probably, +in my remembering, made some mistakes, and I guarantee you +they're minor ones, if I have." + "We have just recently, for those of you who didn't believe +that the Jason Society of the Jason Scholars, the secret group +existed, we now have a letter from the Pentagon, with 51 names +of the Jason Scholars, an admission from the Pentagon that they +hold the highest security clearances in the nation, an admission +from the Pentagon that they hold the protocol rank of Rear Ad- +miral, and are treated as such on any military installation or +in any government office. There are 6 Nobel Prize winners on +that list, there are the elite of the elite of the scientific +world, they are the only ones who really know the truth about +the technology today and about the real science of physics, be- +cause the one that we're being taught all the time... If you +send your kids to college to learn physics you're wasting your +money because they're teaching them stuff that doesn't work, +it's not true, it's not real. Gravity is not what we think it +is. There IS a Unified Theory! We already know what it is, it's +what makes these craft work. It's absolutely incredible what's +going on." + "How many of you keep up with Billy Goodman's show on KVEG out +of Las Vegas? For those of you who don't, I would try tuning in +on any night between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM. It's 840 on your AM +dial, and the subject every night are those subjects that no +other media person in the United States will touch with a 10- +foot pole, every single night except Saturday night. It's the +only show that you can call in and talk to another caller, +you've got 3-minutes to say whatever you want to say as long as +you don't cuss or swear or slander anyone, and every night +they're helping to expose this." + "When John Lear and I first said what was going on out at +Groom Lake everybody said, `You're nuts, there's nothing going +on out at Groom Lake!' The listeners of the Billy Goodman radio +show put together an excursion and went up to Groom Lake and +they all, ever since, every night, they go up there and watch +them test fly the alien craft ...every night! The first night +they had 100 people there. And 100 people saw 4 alien craft fly, +doing things that no airplane and no helicopter can do. Now they +don't tell us anymore that there's nothing happening at Groom +Lake. What they tell us now is there's no such thing as aliens, +it's all government secret projects. That's okay because we'll +prove that wrong too eventually, it just takes awhile. Because +where we WERE ...it's not where we're AT, and I'm really happy +about that." + "Now, if you want to see what's happening right now, keep +watching your movies, keep watching your television commercials, +your alien programs on television, read Whitley Streeper's +`Majestic' which is a part of the contingency plan called `Ma- +jestic' to test the reaction of the population to the presence +of aliens on the Earth. And I have just finished my study of +Whitley Streeper's book `Majestic,' and I'm gonna tell you right +now that most of the documents in there, that he says are fic- +tion, are real documents that came right out of Project Grudge. +It is part of the government's campaign to leak information out +in ways that they can always deny that it's real. There's only +one thing wrong with the information in that book, the stories +of the characters in there I know nothing about. What I'm talk- +ing about are the supposed government documents that he has in +that book. I'm telling you tonight they're real. Those are some +of the same documents that I saw in Project Grudge back between +1970 & 1973, and where we have wondered before, now we know that +Whitley Streeper IS working for the government. And we had a +suspicion anyway because in the front of his book he states that +he got information and was helped by the research team of Moore, +Shanderey, and Friedman. William Moore has publicly admitted on +July the 1st that he is an agent of the United States Govern- +ment, and we know that the others are too." + "This is gonna come out, and the reason they're doing it the +way they're doing it is they know eventually you're gonna find +out that it's all true and real. They're desensitizing you so +that you're not shocked, so that there's no collapse of society +as we know it, so that the religious structure doesn't fall to +pieces, so that the stock market doesn't go crazy, because these +were their original fears. Now, there's nothing we can do about +the last one because it's already happened, there will be a seg- +ment of the population that worships the aliens, even though +they're no different than us they're just from somewhere else, +and they may look a little different. They are not gods. But +there are already people worshiping the aliens and they predic- +ted this would happen when they slapped the secret stamp all +over all this stuff." + "You know, there's really nothing wrong with what's been hap- +pening except for 3 things;" [Cooper forgot to mention the 3rd +thing, or was sidetracked, or included it into the 2nd thing.] + Number one, when they decided to keep it secret they needed to +finance it, they couldn't tell the public so they couldn't tell +Congress. They decided to finance it with the sale, importation +and sale, of drugs. Now in the documents that I read, in Opera- +tion Majority, it specifically stated that when George Bush was +the president and CEO of Sapata [sp] Oil, he, in conjunction +with the CIA, organized the first large scale drug importation +into this country from South and Central America by fishing +boat, to the offshore oil platforms of Sapata Oil, and then from +there into the beach, thus bypassing all Customs inspections and +law enforcement inspections of any kind. They are still bringing +in drugs, to a limited extent, in this manner. Another manner is +by CIA contract aircraft which, one of their bases of landing is +Homestead [sp] Air Force Base in Florida. We have affidavits +from air controllers who have vectored the planes in, who have +made sure that they're not interfered with in any way. We have +affidavits from personnel at Homestead Air Force Base who say +the planes have been met by Zeb Bush, who's George Bush's son. +We have affidavits from people who work in the Gulf of Mexico, +in the offshore oil business, that yes indeed, the drugs are +coming in, at least some of them, from the offshore oil plat- +forms." + From the audience came a clear statement, "Just say no?" + "Pardon? ...Right! Just Say No! Well that's what we're gonna +do ladies and gentlemen with your help ...we are going to say +NO, no more! And you gotta do it, you gotta act. You either +gotta act, or watch your country go down the tubes." + "Now, that's one of the things that's wrong. The next thing +that's wrong is, to keep the secret, they killed a lot of people +who tried to leak it out. And if I hadn't done it the way that I +did it, you wouldn't be seeing me anywhere standing or walking +on this Earth now. They killed president Kennedy and during the +workshop, for those of you haven't seen the tape, I will show +you, on the tape, who shot the president and why. Between '70 +and '73, in Operation Majority it stated verbatim that President +Kennedy ordered MJ-12 to cease the importation and sale of drugs +to the American people, that he ordered them to implement a plan +to reveal the presence of aliens to the American people within +the following year. His assassination was ordered by the policy +committee of the Vilderbergers. MJ-12 implemented the plan and +carried it out in Dallas. It involved agents of the CIA, Divis- +ion-5 of the FBI, the Secret Service, and the office of Naval +Intelligence. President Kennedy was killed by the driver of his +car, his name was William Greer, he used a recoilless, electric- +ally operated, gas-powered assassination pistol that was spe- +cially built by the CIA to assassinate people at close range. It +fired an explosive pellet which injected a large amount of +shellfish poison into the brain, and that is why, in the docu- +ments, it stated that President Kennedy's brain was removed. If +you've studied the case, you will find that indeed his brain +disappeared. The reason for that is so that they would not find +the particles of the exploding pellet or the shellfish poison in +his brain which would have proved conclusively that Lee Harvy +Oswald was NOT the assassin. In fact, Lee Harvy Oswald never +fired a shot, he was the patsy." + Mr. Cooper paused briefly, and a lady in the audience asked +the obvious question, "Why haven't YOU been assassinated?" + "If they were to kill me right now, what would you think?" +Cooper posed. + "That it's the truth," several people chimed. + "I've got `em right where I want `em. If they touch me, +everyone who's ever heard me talk is gonna be absolutely enraged +and is gonna know that everything I've said is true. As long as +they don't touch me there's gonna be some of you who are always +gonna be wondering. But eventually we're gonna bring enough +proof out, and if you're here during the workshop you're gonna +see an awful lot of it that's gonna prove to you that it's true. +It's real. And it's happening!" + "Okay, I've tried to cover a lot of stuff, just briefly, be- +cause there's no time in 45 minutes to get into anything very +much." + Mr. Cooper then announced the scheduled workshop session the +following day in which tangible proofs could be seen but regret- +tably I was unable to attend. He then opened up the floor to +questions and answers. + A muffled question was barely heard coming from the front of +the room which in essence asked, "What about all the people in +the press and others who were in Dallas and who saw the assass- +ination? Couldn't they tell where the shot came from, why didn't +they come forward? There must have been plenty." + "There was, we know that there was at least 18 who were all +murdered within 2-years of the event. The odds of that happening +are 1 in 300,000 trillion," Cooper replied. + Again a muffled question, "Why did the DRIVER have to shoot +Kennedy?" + "Because the other fools missed! There were a total of 3-shots +fired at President Kennedy, one hit him in the throat and didn't +kill him and 2 of them hit John Connelly [sp]. The one that was +fired from the grassy knoll hit the president in the throat. The +other 2-shots came from directly behind the limousine, not the +school book depository building, and hit Governor Connelly. Gov- +ernor Connelly, in intelligence community circles, is known as a +`can do' man, because he took 2-hits and still kept his mouth +shut." + "How is it that the driver, sitting on the front, left-hand +side of the car was able to blow off the right side of Kennedy's +brain when the bullet actually entered in, and it would have +been virtually impossible..." another person asked. + Mr. Cooper seized the gist of his question and injected, "For +those of you who have been listening to all these talk show +hosts, whose job it is to be a talk show host, and who have not +done any legitimate research into this, if you come to the work- +shop, I will show you, on the tape, how it was done. You will +see that Kennedy was, in fact slumped over against Jackie, his +head was turned [this direction], it was very simple, it was +easy and you will see it with your own eyes." + Another muffled, off-mike question from a member of the audi- +ence inquiring why no one else had come forward with the infor- +mation Mr. Cooper was disseminating, and why those who knew it +had kept it secret for so long was quickly answered, "It hasn't +been, I'm talkin' about it now. Bill English was talkin' about +it 8-years ago but everybody laughed at Bill English. John +Lear's been talkin' about it for 3-years and everybody laughed +at him. Now there's so many people have been talkin' about it, +people are startin' to listen and it's about time. Because it's +about time we that we quit being fools, and that's exactly what +they think we are and we prove it to them every day." + Almost all of the questions from the audience were to faint to +hear. The next one dealt with the alien technology and asked in +essence, "Hasn't any one else [other than the government] come +up with the energy technology that the aliens have?" to which +Mr. Cooper answered, "There's been quite a few people who've +come up with it and they've ALL been stopped, and they'll all +continue to be stopped. Because once you have it you have FREE +ENERGY. Once you have free energy they no longer have power over +you. You understand? That's why they stop it." + Another question asking, "In the film of the assassination +which was examined greatly by experts, why didn't THEY conclude +that Kennedy's driver shot him?", to which Cooper asked, "Exam- +ined by WHO greatly?", and continued, "Most of the film that you +can purchase has that segment cut out, and you can always tell +it by the person running in the background, they'll run up to +here... all of a sudden they'll be down here... running. You +will see in most of the clips that you've ever seen on televi- +sion, or in the movies, or that you're able to get your hands +on, you'll see William Greer start to turn like this...", then a +muffled comment from the audience, then Cooper answered, "That's +because they clipped it out! And on a lot of them, I'll bet you +most of you, every time you've seen the clip on television, +never looked at the driver anyway. If you're really honest with +yourself, and with me, you know your eyes were right on +Kennedy." + A woman asked if any of the alien technology was being used in +present-day military equipment and was answered, "Yes, there's a +lot of alien technology contained in the Stealth bomber, that's +right. The Stealth fighter was flying for 10-years before you +even knew it existed." + As the hour drew late another question, more clearly stated, +was asked of Mr. Cooper by a woman closer to my ears, "Before +you let us all out of here, there's a bunch of us here wondering +what can we all do to help bring this all out?" + A single word, "REVOLT" issued from several listeners simul- +taneously but Cooper responded, "Don't revolt. What you need to +do is what you should have been doing all along. You need to get +involved with your government. The first thing you need to do is +purchase a copy of the Constitution, which I know that most of +you don't have anywhere in your house, and if I were to go +around this room and ask each person what the Constitution says, +most of you couldn't tell me what the Constitution says from +your grocery bill. And that's the truth! And that IS your coun- +try! So if you don't know what your Constitution is you're dead +already, so the first thing you do is you get a copy of your +Constitution. The second thing you do is you learn it! The third +thing you do is you start calling your senators and your repre- +sentatives, and the President of the United States and you start +leaning on them, and you tell them, `Unless you straighten up +the government, and unless we start getting the truth, and I +mean the whole truth, and no more of this baloney, this's the +last job you're ever gonna have, period. And I'll do everything +in my power to make sure that comes true.' And then write them, +frequently, saying the same thing. And then when they're in your +area, in their area offices, take a little delegation and go see +them, and make them understand that they're gonna be living in +poverty because they're not gonna have a job anymore come elec- +tion day. You see, the secret government may own the executive +branch, but you people, all of us, we own the Congress, and the +Congress makes the laws, and the Congress can impeach the entire +executive branch! You also have the right to petition the gov- +ernment for a redress of injuries. So you ARE powerful, you've +just forgotten that you're powerful, you've forgotten that that +vote that you haven't been doing every time election comes +around, that vote has abdicated your power. That vote you did +not cast abdicated your power and gave it to those who are +subverting the Constitution and are ruining this country." + A gentleman then asked, "What was traded to the aliens for +their technology?" + "People and animals," replied Cooper succinctly. + Another man asked, "Is the Soviet Union in on any of this?" + "The Soviet Union and the United States of America have been +close allies since the end of World War II and have been closely +participating in the secret space program all this time. The +Soviets have the same thing we have, yes. What you see happening +in the Soviet block right now is not the result of people stand- +ing up and saying, `We want to be free.' It's the result of the +international bankers saying, `You tear down these barriers, and +you meet the West half way, give your people some freedom, the +West is gonna take some freedom away from their people so that +we can put together a one-world economic system ...and have all +the power. That's what's happening! If you don't believe it, +stick around and watch it!" + A dubious woman then asked, "Why was the shellfish poison +necessary? A lot of his brain was blown off anyway." + Cooper: "The shellfish poison? If you go to kill someone, one +thing I've learned, I learned it real good, I learned it espe- +cially good when I went to Viet Nam; just `cause you shoot some- +one doesn't mean they're gonna die. And if they don't die, +they're gonna be MAD. And if they've got a gun, you're dead. So +you want the first time to be the last time. So if you really +want to to kill somebody you don't play around. If you REALLY +want to kill somebody ...you KILL them, you don't play, you make +sure that when you shoot them, they're dead. That way they can't +hurt you, can't hurt you at all." + Regrettably, the next question was totally unintelligible, I +was thankful however that Mr. Cooper had a good public address +system to amplify his reply, "The first moon landing was May the +22nd, 1962... or excuse me, that was the first landing on Mars. +I'm sorry, May the 22nd, 1962 was the winged probe that used a +hydrozine propeller, flew around approximately 3-orbits and lan- +ded on May the 22nd, 1962, was a joint United States / Russian +endeavor. The first time that we landed on the moon was sometime +during the ...probably middle 50's, because at the time when +President Kennedy stated that he wanted a man to set foot on the +moon by the end of the decade we already had a base there." + "What about Mars?" came another quick question. + "We have a base on Mars also," Cooper calmly replied. + "When did that happen?" + "I don't know the exact date but I know the project's name, it +was `Adam and Eve'." + "How long have you known about this?" + "Well, I revealed it publicly for the first time on July the +2nd, 1989, and within 3-weeks of the time I revealed it public- +ly, the government, to get the American people not to listen to +me, came out and said that they planned to build a base on the +moon and a colony on Mars. Now, 3-days previous to my speech, +representatives from NASA said, `We can never have a colony on +Mars, it's impossible that there's a colony on Mars because Mars +is a dead planet.' And it's NOT a dead planet, they've lied to +you about Mars." + "My name is Dave [unintelligible], I'm a representative of the +Crystic Institute, and I'd like to know why it was that when we +sent a representative down to your home, at your request, you +failed to produce any documentation to substantiate your allega- +tions." + "In the first place it was NOT at my request, I have never +contacted the Crystic Institute in my life. I was on the Carol +Hemingway Show, she contacted the Crystic institute, she told +Daniel Shehan [sp] that I had just said something about Bush and +drugs on her show. HE called ME and told me he wanted to send an +investigator, in fact he told me to even help the investigator +because he was new at the job, his name was Wayne Nelson, he is +a very good gentleman, he stayed at my house for 2-days, slept +overnight on my couch, I gave him everything I had. I never told +Daniel Shehan that I had any documents and I never told Wayne +Nelson that I had any documents. In fact what I told Wayne Nel- +son, and I quote, `Wayne, if I did have the documents I couldn't +admit it and I don't know you from Adam, and I don't know Daniel +Shehan from Adam and what makes you think I would give them to +you.' Who am I going to give them to and how quick are they go- +ing to disappear, that was my thought. Wayne Nelson also came to +my house with a stack of documents this thick already substanti- +ating the presence of aliens and extraterrestrial craft on this +planet, and they are keeping it a secret, because they're afraid +somebody'll laugh at them and they'll loose their credibility." + "We need some patriots in this country, not people trying to +make a name for themselves, trying to expose some drug runners, +because those are just the bag-men. The real crook is in the +White House! And you can tell THAT to Daniel Shehan!" + "Why didn't Jackie Kennedy report [the source of the lethal +shot]?" asked another audience member. + "Who's she gonna tell? The Secret Service just killed her hus- +band and they're assigned to protect the President. Also, who +had her children? The same Secret Service had her children at +the time." + "Wasn't the craft at Roswell, New Mexico destroyed and all the +aliens killed?" another young man asked. + "All the aliens were dead but the craft was not completely +destroyed, it was severely damaged yes." + On an unrelated note an older gentleman asked, "Does that mean +that `Alternative-3' is true?" + "Alternative-3 is absolutely true and so is `Alternative-2'." + Then a man in his late 20's or early 30's raised his hand, +said something I couldn't hear, and was apparently recognized by +Mr. Cooper who asked him to take the podium and address the aud- +ience. + "What I said was that I thanked him [Cooper] very much for +coming forward and saying something. A lot of my friends out +here know that I was involved in the United States Special For- +ces, UFO Tracking and Research from the years 1971 to 1975. My +name is Richard Murray, I was based out of the 71st Tac Controll +Flight, McDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida. We were `Mobile +Radar Command,' that was combat and war ready. We could be load- +ed on aircraft within an hour and many times were taken into +areas [to] set up radar. A lot of times we were set up around +Egland [sp] Air Force Base because that's where they have the +`Altered Temperature Weather Control', where they can test vari- +ous aircraft for their shrinkage and their dimension change dur- +ing altered temperature. So, you know, I was told to shut up +twice in 1982 and they finally threatened my parents life so I +stayed quiet, and, that's when Wendel Stevens was taken off the +streets... Just like that! And I hid for quite awhile, and deci- +ded to come back out when I heard that you're [Cooper] of such +high rank as you were, and I felt just in saying that your cre- +dentials are true, and that what you have to say, everything +you've said here today, I've heard before behind closed doors. +And you've really tied the link for me to the Kennedy killing. +And there's a few more links that have to go on with the Colum- +bia Cartel and the money laundering. I think there's more than +one cartel involved, and they're shutting one of them down so +one can maintain a power, it just seems to be the way it works." + A muffled question then came from someone in the audience +regarding the person referred to as "Colonel Stevens." + "Uh, Colonel Stevens is out of jail now," replied Murray who +was quickly asked another question I couldn't hear to which he +answered, "I sure hope to hell so, he is a wonderful man and I +give him my utmost respect and it was one of the saddest days in +my life to see what happened to him happen to him. But I don't +care what they say about Wendel Stevens, in my heart you can't +discredit that man to me. I don't care who the hell you are. I +won't listen to it, I don't give a shit if he was screwin' ba- +bies. You know... that doesn't... he's not that kind of a man, I +don't care what you say, I know him personally." + + The lecture was then essentially over. The "Alternative-2 and +-3" that were referred to briefly are, to the best of my know- +ledge, two government contingency plans and I don't know which +is which, to 1: Declare Martial Law and invalidate the Constitu- +tion on the premise that a terrorist group had entered the coun- +try with a Nuclear weapon with plans to detonate it in a major +city. All dissidents would be rounded up and placed in concen- +tration camps and the press and media would be nationalized. All +this, if the information becomes public before they want it to +or if the aliens attempt a takeover, and 2: Another contingency +plan to contain or delay the release of this information, the +details of which I am probably wrong about anyway. + My own personal reaction to Milton William Cooper; Mr. Cooper +is a man who appears to be in his late fourties, of medium +height and weight, and was dressed casually when I saw him. His +hairline was receding slightly and he carried himself with con- +fidence and purpose. Bill Cooper, as he was called by several in +attendance, is not a professional speaker. His presentation +lacked the polish of repeated deliveries which all the other +lectures I heard during the Expo. had, but what it lacked in +fine tuning was easily made up for in its content. Weather or +not everyone in the audience was convinced of his sincerity I do +not know, but the thunderous peal of applause which exploded as +he concluded the session spoke for me and the majority of those +in attendance. I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that +Bill Cooper believes everything he said, and I'm about as +skeptical as they come. + Please read the attached file written by Milton William Cooper +which describes some of the government operations, projects, and +code names that pertain to the above transcript. Perhaps from +the two documents you can reach your own conclusions as to what +"Alternative-2 and -3 are. + +The following is the original file "OPER-MAJ.TXT" which +introduced Mr. Cooper to me. + + OPERATION MAJORITY + FINAL RELEASE + THERE WILL BE NO CORRECTIONS TO THIS FILE + C - COPYRIGHT 1989 BY MILTON WILLIAM COOPER + ALL RIGHTS RESERVED + YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO QUOTE FROM THIS INFORMATION IN PRESS +RELEASES, PERIODICALS, AND SPEECHES.

The project was funded by CIA confidential funds (non- +appropriated) and money from the illicit drug trade. +Participation in the illegal drug trade was justified in that it +would identify and eliminate the weak elements of our society. +The purpose of project GRUDGE was to collect all scientific, +technological, medical and intelligence information from UFO/IAC +sightings and contacts with alien life forms. This orderly file +of collected information has been used to advance the United +States Space Program. + MJ-12 is the name of the secret control group. President +Eisenhower commissioned a secret society known as THE JASON +SOCIETY (JASON SCHOLARS) to sift through all the facts, +evidence, technology, lies and deception and find the truth of +the alien question. The society was made up of 32 of the most +prominent men in the country in 1972 and the top 12 members were +designated MJ-12. MJ-12 has total control over everything. +They are designated by the codes J-1, J-2, etc all the way +through the members of the Jason Society. + The director of the CIA was appointed J-1 and is the Director +of MJ-12. MJ-12 is responsible only to the President. MJ-12 +runs most of the world's illegal drug trade. This was done to +hide funding and thus keep the secret from the Congress and the +people of the United States. It was justified in that it would +identify and eliminate the weak elements of our society. The +cost of funding the alien connected projects is higher than +anything you can imagine. MJ-12 assassinated President Kennedy +when he informed them that he was going to tell the public all +the facts of the alien presence. He was killed by the Secret +Service agent driving his car and it is plainly visible in the +film held from public view. + A secret meeting place was constructed for MJ-12 in MARYLAND +and it was described as only accessible by air. It contains +full living, recreational, and other facilities for MJ-12 and +the JASON SOCIETY. It is code named "THE COUNTRY CLUB". Only +those with TOP SECRET/MAJIC clearance are allowed to go there. + MAJI is the MAJORITY AGENCY FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE. All +information, disinformation, and intelligence is gathered and +evaluated by this agency. This agency is responsible for all +disinformation and operates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA, +and the Defense Intelligence Agency. This is a very powerful +organization and all alien projects are under its control. MAJI +is responsible only to MJ-12. + SIGMA is the project which first established communications +with the aliens and is still responsible for communications. + PLATO is the project responsible for Diplomatic relations with +the aliens. This project secured a formal treaty (illegal under +the Constitution) with the aliens. The terms were that the +aliens would give us technology. In return we agreed to keep +their presence on earth a secret, not to interfere in any way +with their actions, and to allow them to abduct humans and +animals. The aliens agreed to furnish MJ-12 with a list of +abductees on a periodic basis. + MAJIC is the security classification and clearance of all +alien connected material, projects, and information. MAJIC +means MAJI Controlled. + AQUARIUS is a project which compiled the history of alien +presence and their interaction with Homo Sapiens upon this +planet for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque +people who live in the mountainous country on the border of +France and Spain and the Syrians. + GARNET is the project responsible for control of all +information and documents regarding this subject and +accountability of the information and documents. + PLUTO is a project to evaluate all UFO/ IAC information +pertaining to space telZk{k+9kR [TRANSMISSION GARBLED] + POUNCE is the project formed to recover all downed/ crashed +craft and aliens. + REDLIGHT is the project to test fly recovered alien craft. It +is conducted at AREA 51 (DREAMLAND) in Nevada. It was aided +when the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly them. The +initial project was somewhat successful in that we flew a +recovered craft but it blew up in the air and the pilots were +killed. The project was suspended at that time until the aliens +agreed to help us. + SNOWBIRD was established as a cover for project REDLIGHT. +Several flying saucer type craft were built using conventional +technology. They were unveiled to the press and flown in front +of the press. The purpose was to explain accidental sightings +or disclosure of REDLIGHT as having been the SNOWBIRD craft. + LUNA is the alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was +seen and filmed by the Apollo Astronauts. A base, a mining +operation using very large machines, and the very large alien +craft described in sighting reports as MOTHER SHIPS exist there. + NRO is the National Recon Organization based at Fort Carson, +Colorado. It is responsible for security for all alien or alien +craft connected projects. + DELTA is the designation for the specific arm of the NRO which +is especially trained and tasked with security of these +projects. + JOSHUA is a project to develop a low frequency pulsed sound +generating weapon. It was said that this weapon would be +effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. + EXCALIBUR is a weapon to destroy the alien underground bases. +It is to be a missile capable of penetrating 1000 meters of +Tuff/hard packed soil such as that found in New Mexico with no +operational damage. Missile apogee not to exceed 30,000 feet +AGL and impact must not deviate in excess of 50 meters from +designated target. The device will carry a 1 megaton nuclear +warhead. + ALIENS, there were 4 types of aliens mentioned in the papers. +A LARGE NOSED GREY with whom we have the treaty, the GREY +reported in abductee cases that works for the LARGE NOSED GREY, +a blond human like type described as the NORDIC, a red haired +human like type called the ORANGE. The home of the aliens were +described as being a star in the Constellation of Orion, +Barnards star, and Zeta Riticuli 1&2. I cannot remember even +under hypnosis which alien belongs to which star. + EBE is the name or designation given to the live alien +captured at the 1949 Roswell crash. He died in captivity. + KRLL OR KRLLL OR CRLL OR CRLLL pronounced Crill or Krill was +the hostage left with us at the first Holloman landing as a +pledge that the aliens would carry out their part of the basic +agreement reached during that meeting. KRLL gave us the +foundation of the yellow book which was completed by the guests +at a later date. KRLL became sick and was nursed by Dr. G. +Mendoza who became the expert on alien biology and medicine. +KRLL later died. His information was disseminated under the +pseudonym O.H. Cril or Crill. + GUESTS were aliens exchanged for humans who gave us the +balance of the yellow book. At the time I saw the information +there were only 3 left alive. They were called (P&#'s) Alien +Life Forms. [TRANSMISSION GARBLED] + RELIGION The aliens claim to have created Homo Sapiens +through hybridization. The papers said that RH-blood was proof +of this. They further claimed to have created all four major +religions. They showed a hologram of the crucifixion of Christ +which the Government filmed. They claim that Jesus was created +by them. + ALIEN BASES exist in the four corners area of Utah, Colorado, +New Mexico, and Nevada. Six bases were described in the 1972 +papers, all on indian reservations and all in the four corners +area. The base near Dulce was one of them. + MURDER The documents stated that many military and government +personnel had been terminated (murdered without due process of +law) when they had attempted to reveal the secret. + CRAFT RECOVERIES The documents stated that many craft had +been recovered. The early ones from Roswell, Aztec, Roswell +again, Texas, Mexico, and other places. + GENERAL DOOLITTLE made a prediction that one day we would have +to reckon with the aliens and the document stated that it +appeared that General Doolittle was correct. + ABDUCTIONS were occurring long before 1972. The document +stated that humans and animals were being abducted and or +mutilated. Many vanished without a trace. They were taking +sperm and ova samples, tissue, performed surgical operations, +implanted a spherical device 40 to 80 microns in size near the +optic nerve in the brain and all attempts to remove it resulted +in the death of the patient. The document estimated that 1 in +every 40 people had been implanted. This implant was said to +give the aliens total control of that human. + + CONTINGENCY PLAN SHOULD THE INFORMATION BECOME PUBLIC OR +SHOULD THE ALIENS ATTEMPT A TAKEOVER. + This plan called for a public announcement that a terrorist +group had entered the United States with an Atomic weapon. It +would be announced that the terrorists planned to detonate the +weapon in a major city. Martial Law would be declared and all +persons with implants would be rounded up along with all +dissidents and would be placed into concentration camps. The +press, radio, and TV would be nationalized and controlled. +Anyone attempting to resist would be arrested or killed. + + CONTINGENCY PLAN TO CONTAIN OR DELAY RELEASE OF INFORMATION + This plan called for the use of MAJESTIC TWELVE as a +disinformation ploy to delay and confuse the release of +information should anyone get close to the truth. It was +selected because of the similarity of spelling and the +similarity to MJ-12. It was designed to confuse memory and to +result in a fruitless search for material which did not exist. + + SOURCE OF MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS WHICH I SAW + The source of the material was an ONI counter-intelligence +operation against MJ-12 in order for the Navy to find out the +truth of what was really going on. The Navy (at that time or at +least the Navy that I worked for) were not participants in any +of this. The different services and the government conduct this +type of operation against each other all the time. The result +of this operation was that the Navy cut themselves in for a +piece of the action (technology) and control of some projects. + As you can see this file is only a little different from my +previous file. Only some names were scrambled previously to +confuse the government long enough for someone to verify that +what I have said is the truth. I have added information in this +file that puts me in absolute danger. I have sent a copy of +this file to people all over the country and will continue to do +so. Please get this file into as many hands as you can and +maybe that will protect me but I doubt it. + + HISTORY WILL BE THE JUDGE OF ME AND THIS INFORMATION AND I +HAVE NO FEAR OF THAT JUDGEMENT. I SWEAR THAT THIS INFORMATION +IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. + + I wish to thank all those people who have aided me in reaching +this point and for their patience and understanding. I owe you +all more than I can ever repay. + Finally, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong or +if a project name is in the wrong place. It does not matter who +is working for who or what is really what. It should be obvious +by now that something sinister and terribly wrong is going on +involving the government and the UFO phenomenon. We must all +band together and expose it now. I have done my part in the +best manner that I could. I can add nothing else except my +testimony in Congress or a court of law that what I saw and have +written in this file is true and that I saw it. + Everything in my previous file that does not conflict with +this file is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and +some of it is from sources and research. You may combine the +files to get the entire picture. Throw out only that +information which conflicts with that contained in this file. + There will be no further additions or corrections to this +information either now or in the future. My file is complete +and stands to be judged by history. Sometime in the future the +exact papers that I saw will surface and you will all see this +exact information contained within them. + + Milton William Cooper + 1/10/89 + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

This was + less than 1/2 mile from Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes of + North America and in a major metropolitan urban area. One of the + observers, Deborah Theaker, later told investigators that this was + only the latest in a series of UFO events that had seemingly + followed her around wherever she lived in Canada. + + CUFORN was alerted to the report when Deborah and friend + Darren Boyce called Metropolitan Toronto Police, who referred them + to Downsview Air Force Base. Staff Corporal McKay had CUFORN's + phone number and gave it to the couple who called us. + + Deborah, 25, is an actress an scriptwriter for SCTV (Second + City Television), a famous TV comedy show. She and Darren had just + arrived back in Toronto from Darren's native Australia, where they + had just watched the Channel 7 special about the Nullabor Plains + CE-2 of January 20, 1988. Darren, an electrician, 24, was a skeptic + until the night in question. + + Flickering Lights + ----------------- + + Here is what happened in Deborah's own words: "It was + approximately 1:10 or 1:20am on Friday morning that the incident + occurred. I was watching television, sitting on the sofa, when I + noticed lights out of the corner of my eye. Something seemed + strange about it and so I looked out the window to my left which + was uncovered and gave a clear, unobstructed view. I saw a very + large oblong object surrounded by flickering lights. There were + definitely red and white lights, but I'm not sure whether there was + another colour or not. There might have been blue lights as well, + but I'm not exactly certain. I am uncertain of the time, but I + would think that I saw it around 1:20 or 1:30 at the very latest." + + "There was a large, luminous "headlight" in the sky over + the trees across the street to the right. It was pulsing and I + felt that it was communicating with the larger object. The larger + metallic object moved towards the light. But I don't remember + seeing it move there", Deborah said. + + Woke Up Friend + -------------- + + "I phoned my sister and she instructed me to wake Darren + up as he was asleep in the other room. We both looked out the + window at this point, I could no longer see the bright "headlight". + I thought that the object moved slowly behind the trees on the + street opposite Coe Hill Drive. It was either moving west or + descending slowly. After a brief period of time, we lost sight of + the object. Darren suggested that we phone the police. They arrived + within approximately 20 minutes. It was just after 2:20am when they + knocked on our door." + + Curiously enough, Deborah had a dream the previous night + which she felt was a warning that "something was coming to get me". + She called her mother in Sidney, British Columbia, 2000 miles away, + that night, and told her "a UFO is coming to get me." + + Something Hovering + ------------------ + + Darren described his part in the observation: "Deborah woke + me up shouting that there was a UFO outside the window. I went and + had a look and could see something hovering beyond the line of + houses across the street. While it was too dark to see the outline + of the object, it appeared to be pulsing. It slowly moved away from + us to the west. All the lights were on all the time, but each light + would individually pulse bright. The pulse would take about one + second to complete one revolution." + + That night was a clear one, with no wind and few stars + visible in the glare of the city lights. There are high tension + power lines in the area. No sound was heard. The objects were about + 20 degrees above the horizon. + + In our interview with Deborah, she said she was "scared. I + felt like they were looking at me and I felt like I knew who they + were and they were coming back." + + Investigators Harry Tokarz and Joe Muskat did what the two + police officers had done on the night of the event -- they + carefully looked at the area where the UFOs were seen -- a small + park and a children's playground. No traces were found, nor was + there any damage to the trees. + + Muskat and Tokarz personally investigated the case on March + 12. The next day, Tokarz spoke to Police Constable Wilkinson who + had been summoned alond with Police Constable Sonsini. The officer + said Deborah was "hysterical but sensible." The officer said a + Staff Sargeant had gone to the area first, but on checking police + records, there was no mention of any such prior check by a Staff + Sargeant. + + Hearing Defect + -------------- + + Deborah recently had visited an audiologist who told her + she had a congenital defect in both ears. She cannot hear low + frequency sounds. Yet she could recall no ear problems in her past, + except for the odd ear-ache. + + CUFORN investigators Tokarz and Muskat discovered in their + interview with Deborah that she is a "repeater". She was born in + Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Her father was Mayor of the town of + Esterhazy in that Canadian province. Her mother was a nurse. She + has one younger brother, Kent and one sister, Shelley. + + Deborah said that when she was three years old, she saw + what she called then "the Easter Bunny". She remembered its eyes + as being bright but otherwise normal. That would have been in 1966. + At age seven, she and Shelley saw a circular object in their home + town. In 1976, at age 13, she did not menstruate for four months. + She did not go to her family doctor or tell her parents. She did + tell CUFORN that at the time, she felt "something was taken from + me." She has what Darren says appears to be a Caesarian birth scar, + although she has never been pregnant. + + Looked Like Beans + ----------------- + + She said, when she was 13, she woke up one morning feeling + sore all over. When she looked at her bed, she saw what looked like + dried-up kidney beans covering the bed of her brother who slept in + the twin bed next to her. She thought he had eaten some beans and + had vomited in his sleep. He had not eaten beans, however. She + slept through the night and was not awakened by anything that could + have caused the beans to appear. + + She said that one night when she was at summer camp at + Round Lake, Saskatchewan, she and other campers saw a formation + of UFOs. The camp was Camp O'Neill. She recalled one other camper, + Roger Keyes, and that the head of the camp, who was a Minister, + also saw the object. The minister said he would report the sighting + to someone, but, as far as Deborah can recall, no authorities were + ever notified about the encounter. The year was 1978. + + We also found out that when Deborah lived in Saskatoon, in + 1982, she and her brother Kent observed a UFO on a summer night. + She recalled that she could not account for a period of time + amounting to an hour and a half. + + Not only is Deborah a repeater, but the element of missing + time may mean that she was abducted. She has noticed in the past + three years or so, that she has a hollowed out cut or scoop mark + on her left shoulder. + + Fear Of Hypnosis + ---------------- + + All these stories remain just stories at this time, as, + after some discussion with Tokarz, she got as far as agreeing to + visit our consultant in regressive hypnosis, Dr. David Gotlib. And + that is as far as it got, as after an interview with the doctor, + Deborah said she was afraid to undergo hypnosis. She said that an + amateur hypnotist had unsuccessfully tried to hypnotize her years + ago. She used that and her fear of what she might find out as her + reason for declining to pursue regressive hypnosis.

The UFO + seemingly reacted to her movement by first moving slowly eastwards, + then swiftly ascending to the clouds. She called the two appendages + "pipes" which were about five inches long. The UFO had no seams + and she could not hear any sound as her window was closed and there + was no balcony on that side of the building, so she could not go + out to observe more closely. She estimated the UFO was no more than + ten feet from the window which faces north. + + She estimated the total observation lasted 15 seconds. All + her neighbors were either away at the time or were elderly and no + one else reported seeing anything. + + Ms. Wells told us that it was dusk, overcast and cool. The + UFO had sharp edges. The area is near high tension power lines and + a hydro-electric substation. She waited two months before calling + the police about the sighting. They referred her to Downsview AFB + who gave her CUFORN's number.

Another +of the better known of these professional UFO skeptics, Phil +Klass, has admitted the possibility of intelligent life +elsewhere than planet Earth, although he finds no convincing +evidence that UFO phenomena indicate visitation to Earth by +alien intelligence. + In his book, COSMOS, Dr. Sagan postulates a formula that +suggests that many, perhaps most, stars have planets, and that +the number of potentialy technologically advanced civilizations +in the Milky Way galaxy can be estimated by the formula: + + N* X fp X ne X f1 X fi X fe X fL = N, + + + +Where: + +N* is the number of stars in our galaxy (about 400 billion) +fp is the fraction of stars with planetary systems (about 1/3) +ne is the number of planets per system suitable for life (2) +f1 is the fraction of the suitable planets on which + life actually arises (about 1/3) +fi is the fraction of inhabited planets on which intelligence + evolved and +fe the fraction of inhabited planets on which a technical + civilization developed (fi X fe = 1/100) and +fL is the fraction of a planetary lifetime over which the + technical civilization survived. (< .0000001%) + + Dr. Sagan's computation indicates that N ( the number +of extant technical civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy is +about Ten Million (10,000,000). This means that even though +only .0025% of the stars in the Milky Way have technologically +adavanced civilizations, there are about Ten Million +(10,000,000) such civilizations in our galaxy. + + + + Dr. Sagan's estimate of 10,000,000 inhabited and +technologically advanced planets in our one galaxy, of, course, +does not in and of itself prove that UFO phenomena represent a +manifestation of any one of them. However, it does indicate +that in dealing with matters of such magnitude, even assuming +a "low probability", (in this case, .0025%) there remains an +astoundingly large number of potentially inhabited and highly +developed civilizations in our part of the universe. + + Highly unusual, startling, and completely credible +documentation concerning UFOs has been disclosed under the +Federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), is a statute by +which citizens may compel the government to release certain +documents. This documentation (7000 pages approx.) has been +obtained by litigation with such agencies as the FBI, CIA, NSA, +USAF, etc.). Much information is still being withheld from the +public and remains to be disclosed, since the bulk of these +documents have not been released by the government, under the +"National Security" exemption in the statute. In view of the +extraordinary revelations contained in these documents, there +may be very much more, and even more disturbing, information +yet to be revealed. + The authenticity of the documents is not arguable, +since they have been released directly from the federal agency +involded to the U.S. District Courts. + + Among the UFO cases established by the official +documentary evidence is the Bentwaters sighting of a few years +ago. RAF Woodbridge/Bentwaters are two adjacent USAF bases +(Strategic Air Command) on land in Eastern England leased +by the U.S. Air Force from Great Britain. As such, these are +high security installation and storage sites for nuclear +weapons. + Over the Christmas season of 1980, several British +newspapers carried banner headlines of a unique UFO report, +unique in the sense that the information was obtained through +an OFFICIAL USAF DOCUMENT RELEASED UNDER THE FOIA. The report +was prepared by the second in command of the base, Lt. Col +Charles I. Halt, a trained observer with a military career he +presumably would not wish to place in jeapordy with outlandish +or otherwise unsubstantiated UFO claims. Yet, can one explain +the fact that he has never retracted a word of the following +report, was never reprimanded for making a false report, and +indeed, was later promoted to Brig. General? + + The report states: + + "1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately +0300L), two USAF security policemen saw unusual lights outside +the back gate at RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might +have crashed or been forced down, they called for permission to +go outside the gate to investigate. The on-duty chief respond- +ed and allowed three patrolmen to proceed on foot. The indi- +viduals reported seeing a strange glowing object in the forest. +The object was described as being metallic in appearance and +triangular in shape, approximately two to three meters across +the base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated +the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had +a pulsing red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights under- +neath. The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen +approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees and +disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby farm went +into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately +an hour later near the back gate. + + 2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" +in diameter were found where the object had been sighted on the +ground. The following night (29 Dec 80) the area was checked +for radiation. Beta/gamma readings of 0.1 milliroentgens were +recorded with peak readings in the three depressions and near +the center of the triangle foRAGRAPHS 2 AND 3. +(Emphasis added.) + +(Signed) +Charles I. Halt, Lt. Col, USAF +Deputy Base Commander " + + Moreover, in a 1984 CNN documentary on the Bentwaters +case, current and former USAF security personnel independently +confirmed the contents of the Halt report. A former military +policeman, "Airman Gregg," stated, " I saw some kind of +spaceship from someplace not of this Earth." A former Master +Sgt., who was part of the team that investigated the landing +site, said the team found three depressions in the soil, 12 +feet apart, in an equilateral triangle. One officer who is +still on active duty with the USAF corroborated these +statements and added that motion pictures and still photographs +of the site were also taken. (denied by the USAF.) + Lt. Col. Halt ordered a hightened state of alert for the +following night, on which night a four-man perimiter patrol +reported seeing strange lights in the sky outside the back gate +that, "were unlike the pattern of any known aircraft." They +requested and were given permission to investigate. + They found that an INTENSE light was eminating from a +clearing in the forest at the end of the runway. One security +officer said that as they approached, all the hair on their +bodies (even under their hats) stood on end, "like therre was a +big static charge in the air." They loaded their M-16s. "We +didn't know what we were encountering; and we knew it was +something beyond our realm of experience. We had never +experienced anything like that before. About that time, we +decided to get the...out of there." The armed security police +ran off and encountered about 30 more security police (led by +Lt. Col. Halt) in about a half-dozen vehicles on a nearby road. + Halt and a three man team, including Sgr. "B" ( a USAF +security officer still on active duty) approached the +clearing. The Sgt. later said, "right now, I do believe that +UFOs exist. Up to this point, I had been skeptical. Now I +believe there may have been someone else there." + Larry Warren, a former security officer, has come forward +without anonymity and has withstood a blistering attack by the +professional skeptics on his personal integrity, who claimed he +was a drug user or flat out, a liar. These unsubstantiated +charges were later retracted by the skeptics. Warren maintains +that more happened on the second night that is not included in +the report or on the tape. Warren states, "I was very +close...At one point we saw people, or whatever you want to +call them, coming out. There were three of them..they stood +there...actually floated...our base commander was there (Lt. +Col. Gordon Williams)." + + Although the USAF originally maintained that "no audio- +visual documentation of the incident exists," a FOIA action +unearthed a 20 minute audio tape made by Lt. Col. Halt which +describes segments of events over a seven hour period of this +second night. Among routine recordings of the levels of +radioactivity and the other evidence referred to in the Halt +report, the tape describes Lt. Col. Halt's EYEWITNESS UFO +SIGHTING made at the time of the recording. Skeptics have +maintained that Lt. Col. Halt and his men mistakenly sighted +the Orford lighthouse about ten miles away. + Although a lighthouse beacon can be a source of a single +light point, there the similarity to the Halt report and tape +ends. Lighthouse beacons do not leave radioactive "Landing +Marks" in the soil. A single beacon is not simultaneously +visible in two different directions (180 degrees apart-north +and south) In fact, at one point, Lt. Col. Halt describes four +separate lights at the same time, that moved about +independently of each other then disappeared. + It is not likely that the beacon would have +been shut off in the middle of the night, just as it is +improbable that the Deputy Base Commander of a highly +sensitive nuclear base (and at least a dozen of his men) could +have confused a lighthouse beacon, in a location he was no +doubt familiar with, with the highly unusual lights he +describes--let alone that the confusion would have lasted in +excess of one hour. + The lighthouse explanation simply does not stand up +under close scrutiny. When this position collapsed, the +skeptics then turned to challenging the personal integrity of +the men who spoke out--and the discussion got ugly. These men +were alleged to be drug users and the skeptics maintained that +these security personnel were, in the words of one noted +skeptic, "hallucinating Keystone Cops." + At one point, the tape records Lt. Col. Halt (excited and +breathing rapidly) saying, "It's (the UFO) moving out...It's +moving fast!" Another security officer remarks, "There's one +on the right heading this way too!" + Halt continues, "They're both heading north. Hey! Here! +Here...Here he's coming from the south! He's coming toward us +now! WEIRD!...Now we are observing what appears to be a beam +coming down to the ground. THIS IS UNREAL!" To repeat, this +is an authenticated audio tape, obtained under the FOIA, which +has never been retracted by Lt. Col. (now Brig. General) Halt +or any other USAF official. + + Any OBJECTIVE review of this evidence indicates that the +government is (or should be) VERY interested in the matter of +UFOs, despite its official position that it discontinued all +investigations in 1969. Indeed, many scientists are convinced +that more study of UFOs is needed. + +e conducted the investigation entirely on his own. + + On July 9, 1985, Senator Exon wrote a letter stating, +"...while additional information on the subject of Bentwaters +AND OTHER UNEXPLAINED UFO INCIDENTS (emphasis added) may exist, +I can find no evidence of a coverup..." + This letter was written significantly after the light- +house explanation was first proposed and apparently the +Senator also found the lighthouse description unacceptable, +chosing rather to call the incident an "unexplained UFO +incident." + Although Senator Exon has refused further comment on +Bentwaters, in a letter dated August 14, 1985, he stated, +"I have put in more time on this matter than any other case +since I have been a U.S. Senator." I leave it to the reader +to judge the importance at least one busy U.S. Senator felt +this matter demanded, to have taken so much time with this +sighting. SOMETHING grabbed his interest. + + How do we know whether UFOs exist? We don't. What we do +know is that an unusually large number of UFO reports exist, +and that some, such as the Halt report, are indeed +EXTRAORDINARY, in the sense mandated by Dr. Sagan. There are +many common points shared by these reports (e.g. the types of +phenomena reported, that the better the report the harder it is +to explain away and that many reports are made by perfectly +normal and sometimes highly trained personnel whose testimony +on any other subject would be accepted in any court of law). +We also know that our government and others continue to study +UFOs, despite their official position that they do not. Many +lawsuits have been filed under the Freedom of Information Act +against the FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, Air Force, Army, Navy, etc., +which have revealed many previously classified documents +confirming that the government takes the matter VERY seriously +and that there are far more such documents remaining which the +government refuses to disclose. + + Perhaps the most open government involved in the study of +UFOs is France, although even they recently tightened the +security of these matters. In 1974, M. Robert Galley, the +French Minister of Defense, gave an interview on French +National Radio in which he stated that UFOs are real and that +if the public were told the amount and quality of the evidence +(such as radar sightings and fighter gun camera movies) they +would be very disturbed. He also revealed in the interview +that the government was passing UFO information on for +evaluation by CNES (the French NASA). Dr. Claude Poher was in +charge of the study there. By May 1, 1977, the work of Dr. +Poher was so impressive that the French government put it on a +much more official basis, gave the project a substantial grant +of funds and created a new division of CNES under Poher's +direction. This division was named GEPAN (which stands for +Group into Unidentified Atmospheric Phenomena). + About one year after the project started, Dr. Pierre +Guerin, an astronomer working for the project wrote, "an +intelligence controls the UFOs, and it is not ours." Later in +the the article, Guerin said the the governments of the earth +knew the truth about UFOs (that they came from an intelligence +which coexisted with us on the planet and may actually control +us!) but that they had no idea how to disclose this information +and still maintain world order. + GEPAN marked a new phase of open communication in official +policy, and the project was very cooperative with ufologists, +unlike governmental agencies in the United States. In a +document dated February, 1979, GEPAN outlines how the study + +operates. There are field workers, including an early warning +team who can be rapidly sent to the scene of an incident. A +team of scientists of various disciplines studies the +information collected in well equipped laboratories. +Psychologists evaluate witnesses. The National Police +(Gendarmes) are to prepare reports of incidents to be passed on +to GEPAN. + Of 354 reports received in 1978, 53% involved close +encounters, of which 25% were classified "unexplained" and 34% +"potentially unknown but lacking probative data." GEPAN states +that these alarming results "pose a real question after +analysis by our experts." It was at this time that GEPAN +decided that "great vigilance is necessary regarding the +distribution and publication of these studies. We estimate +that the witnesses we have met have really seen the things +which they report to us...the study of the cause of these +phenomena is capable of bringing forth new knowledge." In +private, Poher and Guerin were going even farther, and the +French government became worried. A new director, astronomer +Dr. Alain Esterle, was appointed. Less GEPAN information was +released, although Dr. Esterle stated in 1981 that the work of +GEPAN was proving that UFOs were indeed alien. + With the growth of its work and information collected by +1982, GEPAN had tightened its security measures and a +"reorganization" of GEPAN was instituted. Esterle was replaced +by an engineer and Dr. Guerin released this statement in 1983: + "It is not the scientists, naturally skeptical as they +are, who induced the military and political leaders to refuse +to take 'UFO stories' seriously. It is these authorities them- +selves who are concealing from us what they know...and they +have put it into the minds of the scientists to deny the +existence of es believes that most sightings are misidenti- +fications of prosaic objects, he estimates that 1,000 to 10,000 +reports from all over the world remain for which no +conventional explanation is possible. He speculates that +similar events have been occurring for centuries. But despite +the literal "mountain" of evidence that has accumulated over +the past 40 years of government interest in UFOs, including the +GEPAN program in France, not one other government is willing to +openly admit that there is anything curious in the UFO +phenomena worthy of study, let alone a potential security +problem. + He cites a remarkable public apathy, a climate of +ridicule by the media and an air of apparent indifference +by the world governments. But, he says, this is only an + apparent indifference, as the phenomena is undoubtedly +being studied somewhere in some back rooms. + For example, documents obtained under the FOIA from the + CIA, NSA and other governmental agencies provide undeniable +evidence of continuing official interest in UFOs. Noyes +congratulates his former colleagues at the MOD on their +ability to pretend to take no notice of the stranger incidents +reported to them. + Noyes believes that the Bentwaters case in 1980 is one of +the most important UFO cases in history. It was this case that +encouraged Noyes to finally write the UFO book he had long +considered. He chose the fictional format because it permitted +him to enter into various speculations which would not +otherwise be possible. + + U. S. Senator Barry Goldwater (Arizona) is a retired USAF +General, with TOP SECRET CLEARANCE, who attempted to gain +access to a storage facility alleged to contain dead aliens at +Wright-Patterson AFB. He was refused entry since he did not +have, believe it or not, a high enough security clearance. + + On December 3, 1974, Goldwater wrote the following letter: + + "...I made an effort to get in the room at Wright-Patter- +son Field where the information was stored and I was denied +this request, understandably." + + On March 28, 1975, Senator Goldwater wrote again: + + "...The subject of UFOs has interested me for some time. +I made an effort to find out what was in THE BUILDING AT +WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE WHERE THE INFORMATION IS STORED +THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED BY THE AIR FORCE, and I was denied this +request. IT IS STILL CLASSIFIED ABOVE TOP SECRET..." (Emphasis +Added). + + Other prominent Amercans have also gone on record that +the UFO phenomena is worthy of serious study, for example: + + 1. President Carter asked NASA to explore the +possibility of investigating UFOs. + + 2. When he was in Congress, President Ford called for +Congressional investigations of UFOs. + + 3. Astronaut Gordon Cooper said, "I believe that these +extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this +planet from other planets." + + 4. General Nathan Twining, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs +of Staff and reputed member of MJ-12, wrote a secret memo on +September 23, 1947, in which he stated to the Commanding +General of the Army Air Forces on the subject of "Flying +Discs": +" a. The phenomenon reported is something REAL and not + visionary or fictitious. + b. There are objects probably approximating the shape + of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to + be as large as a man-made aircraft. + c. There is a possibility that some of the incidents + may be caused by natural phenomena, such as + meteors. + d. The reported operating characteristics such as + extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly + in roll), and action which must be considered EVASIVE + when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and + radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the + objects are controlled either manually, automatically + or remotely." (Emphasis in Original). + + It is now clear that the U.S. Air Force Project Blue +Book was merely a public relations effort to show something +being "done" about UFOs. It is equally clear that the real +effort was, and continues to be conducted elsewhere. + In 1969, the U.S. Air Force closed it's public UFO data +gathering effort known as "Project Blue Book." Since that +time, all inquiries to the Air force requesting information on +UFOs were met with standard form letters indicating that, +since 1969, the Air Force no longer is involved in UFO +investigation and that the reports gathered by Project Blue +Book have been archived and are available elsewhere. + + Lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act have +obtained significant official documentation verifying an on- +going uninterrupted concern with UFO investigations by the Air +Force, belying its publicly stated position on the matter. + A Joint Army Navy Air Force Publication (JANAP 146) +requires reports of any sighting which could be a threat to +national security. UFOs continue to be sighted by military +personnel and are reported under this regulation. + Indeed, important UFO sightings and reports, even before +1969, were not processed under Project Blue Book, but were and +are collected and investigated elsewhere by the military. An +Air Force document dated October 20, 1969, which proposed +termination of Project Blue Book, states, "Reports of +Unidentified Flying Objects which could affect national +security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force +Manual 55-11, AND ARE NOT PART OF THE BLUE BOOK SYSTEM +(Emphasis Added)...reports of UFOs which could affect national +security should continue to be handled through standarddeemed to constitute a threat to national +security under JANAP 146, are considered by the regulation as +something different than missles and aircraft. + + Moreover, the term "UFO," as used in these regulations, +is given very clear definition. Illustrations in Air Force +Intelligence manuals at least as far back as 1953 represent +UFOs as large, disc-shaped craft with transparent domes and +portholes around the edges. A U.S. Navy publication (OPNAV 94- +P-3B), titled "MERINT Radiotelegraph Procedure," shows UFOs as +a separate class from missles and aircraft. In fact, an +illustration under the UFO heading shows a Saturn-shaped disc. + + Obviously, this does not even approach "final proof" of +the existence of UFOs. But it does constitute EXTRAORDINARY +EVIDENCE as suggested by Dr. Sagan in that it establishes that +those responsible in our government take a serious attitude +toward UFOs, despite the public pronouncements to the +contrary. The official documents released under the FOIA +establish an intense governmental interest in UFOs over at +least the past 40 years. These monumental efforts are +completely irreconcilable with the notion that UFOs are nothing +more than the imaginations and misidentifications of a +misguided and gullible populace. + + In reviewing the many uploads to this board, I felt there +should be a more streamlined way to present the above ideas for +consideration and discussion.

A large part of this +coverup has to do with what intelligence agencies, such as the Cia, refer to as +DISINFORMATION. + In his speech to the MUFON convention in LAs Vegas on July 1, 1989, Mr. +Moore had this to say about the subject: "Disinformation is a strange and bi- +zarre game. Those who play it are completely aware that an operation's success +is dependent upon dropping false information upon a target or `mark', in such a +way that the person will accept it as truth and will repeat, and even defend it +to others as if it were true. One of the key factors in any successful disin- +formation scheme is that it must contain some elements of truth in order to be +credible. Once the information is believed, the work of counterintelligence is +complete. They can simply withdraw in the confidence that the dirty work of +spreading their poisonous seeds will be done by others." + Some of the most frightening and bizarre stories about UFOs and visitors +may well be lies that originated with disinformation experts and are innocently +spread by gullible people who do not bother to check facts, but who love a +good story. And some of the people telling these tales may not be so innocent- +they may be disinformation experts themselves. + While there is no final proof that the U.S. government has sponsored disin- +formation programs concerning UFOs, the circumstantial evidence is growing +stronger every day. It is a matter of record that at least one individual +spread disinformation in this field while working as a government employee in +an intelligence-related job, and the revelations of Bill Moore and others in- +dicate that false stories have been planted among UFO researchers for years. + Certainly something strange happened outside of Roswell, New Mexico in July +of 1947, when Air Force officials retrieved some debris with properties that +did not fit any known technology. According to Colonel Jesse Marcel, who gave +a number of videotaped interviews before he died, and who was responsible for +the recovery of this debris, the fact of its extreme strangeness was covered up +by the Air Force. + This coverup took place when the cold war was just starting and America was +entering a period of near-paranoia over the issue of Soviet expansionism. +America's obsession with secrecy began when President Truman created the Central +Intelligence Agency in 1947 in order to obtain information about the +threats being made by the Communists after the second world war. Ever since +then, Americans have been told less and less about what is really going on in +our government. As Norman Thomas, who unsuccessfully ran for President many +times,said, `Where the secrets start, the republic stops.' We may live in a +democracy, but we cannot have an effect on policy which we know nothing about. + When Bill Moore became a director of the now dormant APRO (Aerial Phenome- +na Research Organization) in 1979, he became acquainted with the work being +done by Paul Benewitz and Dr. Leo Sprinkle with a young woman who remembered +being abducted and witnessing cattle mutilations. Bennewitz had become con- +vinced that aliens had implanted some sort of communication device in the wom- +an's head, and that they were using this device to control her actions. + Since Paul Bennewitz was a physicist, he had a certain amount of electron- +ics equipment at his disposal, and he set out to determine whether he could de- +tect the electromagnetic signals he believed aliens must be using to exercise +control over their alleged victims, and to try to devise a way to shield vic- +tims from the control of these signals. He told APRO in late '79 that he be- +lieved he had succeeded in detecting low frequency signals from UFOs and had +begun to make calculations about the sort of electronic and propulsion technol- +ogy employed by the aliens. He also began to take pictures of strange lights +maneuvering in the vicinity of the Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility, +which is located to the east of Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. Ben- +newitz had a perfect view of the weapons base from his home in the Four Hills +section of the city. + Bill Moore says, "In early September, 1980, I was approached by a well- +placed individual within the intelligence community who claimed to be directly +connected to a high-level project dealing with UFOs. This individual told me +that he spoke for a small group of similar indiivuals who were uncomfortable +with the government's continuing cover-up of the truth and indicated that he +and his group would like to help me with my research into the subject in the +hope and expectation that I might be able to help them find a way to change +the prevailing policy and get the facts to the public without breaking any +laws in the process. The man who acted as liason between this group and myself +was an Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent named Richard Doty. I +knew I was being recruited, but at that point I had no idea for what." + It soon became apparent to Bill that he was expected to supply information +to this individual about the activities of Paul Bennewitz and APRO in exchange +for being given `sensitive' (or presumably classified) information on UFOs. +Bill realized that, whatever it was Bennewitz was involved with, he was the +subject of considerable interest on the part of not one but several government +agencies, and that they were actively trying to defuse him by pumping as much +disinformation through him as he could possibly absorb. Bill decided to play +along with these government agents so he could learn more about the disinfor- +mation process by witnessing it firsthand. + Bennewitz, for his part, continued to make what seemed to be increasingly +bizarre claims, most of which gave every appearance of having been influenced +by a heavy blanket of disinformation mixed with a small, but significant, +amount of truth. The problem was always one of keeping a level head and trying +to sort the fact from fantasy - something which Paul Bennewitz was having a +hard time doing. + "By 1981", according to Bill, "Paul was gathering data from a variety of +sources and amalgamating it with information being fed to him by a number of +government people in whom, for some reason, he seemed to have an implicit and +abiding faith. The story that emerged from this melange of fact, fiction, fan- +tasy, heresay, hard data and government disinformation was absolutley incred- +ible! Yet somehow, Paul believed in it and set out on a one-man crusade to +tell the world that malevolent aliens from space were in league with our gov- +ernment to take over the planet. What had begun in 1979 as an effort to learn +whether the behavior of a woman who claimed she had been abducted by UFO aliens +was being influenced by some sort of radio remote control had, in the space of +less than three years, blossomed into a tale which rivaled the wildest science +fiction scenario anyone could possibly imagine." + + Bennewitz continued with his experiemnts regarding the radio signals he was +receiving and the film footage he was getting of unusual lights. Both of these +phenomena seemed to be largely connected to activities within the Kirtland AFB +Sandia National Labs complex just south of the city of Albuquerque. Bill feels +that Bennewitz definitely was receiving some sort of low frequency electromag- +netic signal on his equipment, and is equally certain that his photos and films +depicted unusual lights, most of which were filmed while hoovering or maneuver- +ing over the Kirtland/Sandia complex. The real question is whether this evi- +dence was sufficient to conclude that either of these phenomena was directly +related to UFO activity, or whether, in fact, the strange things he was witnes- +sing had to do with some classified government research project going on near- +by. Either reason would be a good explanation for the government's counterin- +telligence activities in this case. + Bill reports that government survelliance of Paul's activities, some of +which Paul was astute enough to detect and some of which Bill learned about +but Paul seemed unaware of, included wire taps and even break-ins. "Paul took +these activities as proof positive that he was onto something big. Unfortu- +nately, he seemed largely unaware that the same people who would go to such +lengths to spy on him also had the capabilities to mount an effective disinfor- +mation campaign." + In any case, by mid-1982, Paul's story contained virtually all of the ele- +ments found in the current crop of rumors being circulated around the UFO com- +munity by people such as John Lear. There were two groups of aliens, one mal- +evolent, one more friendly. The malevolent ones, which he referred to as the +`greys', were really in control, and they were the ones responsible for the +cattle mutilations, for human abductions and the implanting of sinister control +devices in humans, for having first made and then broken a secret treaty with +the U.S. government, for maintaining a secret underground base in Dulce, New +Mexico, and for having supplied the U.S. government with alien space hardware +and weapons which ultimately proved defective or which were caused to crash, +thus leaving human civilization virtually defenseless against invasion. + Bill Moore says, "I know that this whole body of information if false, be- +cause I was in a position to observe much of the disinformation process as it +unfolded. And I can tell you it was effective, because I watched Paul become +systematically more paranoid and more emotionally unstable as he tried to as- +similate what was happening to him. He had guns and knives all over his house, +had installed extra locks on his doors, and he swore that `they' (meaning the +aliens) were coming through his walls at night and injecting him with hideous +chemicals which would knock him out for long periods of time. He began to suf- +fer increasing bouts of insomnia. I knew at that time that he was not far from +an inevitable nervous collapse. His health had deteriorated, he had lost con- +siderable weight, his hands shook as if from palsy, and he looked terrible. I +tried to counsel him to drop the entire UFO thing before his health was com- +pletely destroyed. Not long afterward I heard he had been hospitalized and was +under psychiatric care." + The disinformation campaign was also effective because it insured that no +one in the mainstream media or scientific or scientific community would pay +any attention to the outlandish claims that Paul Bennewitz made. Thus the ele- +ments of truth that were conatained in his experiments became lost to the pub- +lic forever. + Were UFOs ever actually involved with all of this? Bills says we may never +really know. Perhaps Bennewitz had merely stumbled upon signals generated from +some sophisticated, high-level government project whose security people hit +upon UFO-related disinformation as the ultimate cover. Or perhaps he discovered +a real government UFO project which elected to disinform him to protect what +they were really doing. The one thing that Bill does know from first-hand ex- +perience is that there was a tremendous amount of government disinformation +involved, and that a large proportion of what we are hearing today about mal- +evolent aliens, underground bases and secret treaties with the U.S. government +has its roots firmaly planted in the Bennewitz affair. "The current crop of +disinformation is really nothing new; it's just that a different crop of people +are spreading it this time around," says Moore. + From this experience, and from his other research, Bill has come to the +conclusion that the U.S. government counterintelligence people have conducted +an on-again, off-again campaign of deception and disinformation against the +American public about the UFO phenomenon for more than 40 years. He feels that +the people who have been responsible for the operations are highly placed indi- +viduals within the intelligence community. There are several possible explana- +tions for this situation. One, the disinformation could be a security cover for +a real UFO project which exists at a very high level and is known only to an e- +lite few. Two, it could be a security process designed to divert attention away +from real, but non-UFO related, high tech research and development projects. +Three, it may be a manipulation by UFO aliens themselves as part of a longterm +plan to gradually make human society aware of their presence here. Bill's po- +sition is that the truth is best described in terms of a combination of all of +the above. + It's a fact that somebody powerful is spreading disinformation about UFOs. +It would be foolish to believe any story on the basis of too little evidence. +On the other hand, those people who have experienced the visitors first-hand +need not allow themselves to be convinced that their experiences were mere hal- +lucinations. + People who have encountered the visitors know the very real fear that comes +from confronting the unknown. There is no reason why they should have to en- +dure the additional terror of being inundated by sensationalized rumors about +aliens that began ten years ago with a government disinformation campaign a- +aginst one individual. + +End. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Our investigation encompassed the following: + + 1. A detailed physical search of the Archuleta Mesa by vehicle and on foot. + + 2. The physical exploration of a large area surrounding the Town of Dulce. + + 3. Interviews with local citizens, native American Indians of the Jicarilla Apache Indian + Reservation and Rio Arriba County Sheriff and highway maintenance personnel. + + 4. A search of County building and construction permits and records, and interviews to + determine if any large scale civilian or government construction projects ever + occurred in the area from 1930 to the present. + + 5. A comprehensive aerial survey and airborne magnetometer survey of the Archuleta Mesa, + the Town of Dulce, the Archuleta Mesa, and surrounding areas. + + + An Overview + +Re: Dulce + + The Town of Dulce, is located in northern New Mexico near the southern border of Colorado. +Dulce is located eighty-three miles northeast of Farmington, New Mexico on U.S. Route 64. +See Map Exhibit 1. + + It has a population of 1,648 and is nestled in a valley. Just to the north and overlooking the +town is the large Archuleta Mesa. The town is at an altitude of 6,825 feet above sea level. The +main income producing activity in the area is cattle ranching. The business and service activities +are typical of those needed in a community of this size. There are no military or industrial +activities, large or small, in the area. See Photo Exhibits 4 and 5. + + In order to present the results of our investigation it is necessary to refer to items of +information, widely available to UFO researchers, concerning the Dulce, U.S.\Alien base. In the +following, we will quote from those items of information. We will attempt to identify the source +whenever possible. This will be followed by our findings. + + + The Investigation + +1) +Source Information +Excerpts: Dulce Papers.Txt +Author Unknown + + ...A joint US/EBE facility exists beneath the Archuleta Mesa near the town of DULCE NEW +MEXICO. (1A) This facility has been in existence in one form or another since 1948. + + (1B) ...The facility proper is located one kilometer underground. + + (1C) The base is approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, and almost overlooks the town. + + (1D) There is a paved government road 36 feet wide going into the area. + + * * * + + Findings of Phoenix Project Investigation (PHX) regarding the foregoing: + + (PHX-1A) No substantiating County records confirm this. Local residents have no memory +of any government installation, civilian or military ever having existed in this area. + + (PHX-1B) Same as 1A. There is no record or memory of any underground heavy construction, +excavation, or mining activity in the area. + + (PHX-1C) See Map Exhibit 3. + + (PHX-1D) See Map Exhibits 2 and 3, and Photo Exhibits 6 and 7. The road in question is +Indian Reservation Road # J-2. It has never been labeled a "government" road. This road is not +paved, as described in the source material. It is a narrow, two lane dirt road (barely twenty (20) +feet wide that is completely open for public use. + + * * * + 2) +Source Information +Excerpts: +1988 Krill2.Txt + + ...During the occupation of the Greys, they have established quite a number of underground +bases all over the world, especially in the United States. (2A) One such base (among others in +the same state) is under Archuleta Mesa, which is about 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, New +Mexico. + + The foregoing extract is from a transcript of a conversation between Jim McCampbell and Dr. +Paul Bennewitz on July 13, 1984. + + * * * + +Findings: + + (PHX-2A) This refers to the previously mentioned Indian Reservation Road # J-2. The road +at this point is at the base of the Archuleta Mesa. See Map Exhibit 3 and Photo Exhibit 7. + + * * * + +3) +Source Information +Excerpts: +1988 Krill2.Txt + + (3A) ...Bennewitz reports he was able to determine the location of the underground facility: +a kilometer underground beneath Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation near +Dulce, New Mexico (since 1976, one of the areas of the U.S. hardest hit by mutilations). +(3B) Bennewitz' information is that this installation is operated jointly as part of an on-going +program of cooperation between the U.S. government and the EBEs. + + Back to the base under discussion. After Bennewitz briefed Air Force officials on what he had +found, a trip to the area revealed the following data: + + (3C) The base is 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, and almost overlooks the town. (3D) There +is a level highway 36 feet wide going into the area. It is a government road. (3E) One can see +telemetry trailers and buildings that are five-sided with a dome. Next to the domes, a black +limousine was noted -- a CIA vehicle. (3F) These limos will run you off the road if you try to +get into the area. (3G) To the north there is a launch site. (3H) There are two wrecked ships +there; they are 36 feet long with wings, and one can see oxygen and hydrogen tanks. The ships +that we got out of the trade are atomic-powered with plutonium pellets. Refueling of the +plutonium is accomplished at Los Alamos. (3I) The base has been there since 1948. + + Some of the disks are piloted by the NSA. (3J) The base is 4,000 feet long (3K) and +helicopters are going in and out of there all the time. When it became known that Bennewitz was +familiar with this, the mutilations in the area stopped. (3L) In 1979, something happened and the +base was temporarily closed. There was an argument over weapons and our people were chased +out. The aliens killed 66 of our people, and 44 got away. + + One of the people who in fact got away was a CIA agent who, before leaving, made some +notes, photos, and videotapes, and went into hiding. He has been in hiding ever since, and every +six months he contacts each of five people he left copies of the material with. His instructions +were that if he missed four successive contacts, the people could do whatever they want with the +material and was received in December, 1987, by many researchers. The "Dulce Papers" were +composed of 25 black and white photos, a videotape with no dialogue and a set of papers that +included technical information regarding the jointly occupied (U.S.-Alien) facility one kilometer +beneath the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico. (3M) The facility still exists and is +currently operational. + + * * * + +Findings: + + (PHX-3A) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B. + + (PHX-3B) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B). There are no records, nor is there any physical evidence +to substantiate this allegation. + + (PHX-3C) The elevation at the location described, where Reservation Road J-2 crosses the +Navajo River, is not high enough to overlook the Town of Dulce. The road is not level and it +is not 36-feet wide. See Map Exhibit 2. + + (PHX-3D) See (PHX-1D). The road is not level and it is not 36-feet wide. It is a narrow dirt +road that climbs, slowly, with many curves, around the base of Archuleta Mesa. See Photo +Exhibit 7. + + (PHX-3E) Local residents and County highway maintenance crews have no memory of any +such trailers, buildings, domes or limousines in this area. Physical investigation reveals there is +no area where such structures ever existed. + + (PHX-3F) The Rio Arriba County Sheriff's Office has no record of any reports, ever, having +been filed by motorists forced off the road by "any" type vehicle. As mentioned previously, this +is a Reservation Road used by the Indians, ranchers and the general public. If any occurrences, +such as those described ever occurred, it would have been the "talk-of-the-town." No residents +interviewed, remember any such events. + + (PHX-3G) Physical investigation, on foot, failed to reveal any evidence of a "launch" site at +the location described. + + (PHX-3H) There are no physical indications of any kind, and there are no cleared areas of +sufficient size to provide space for two crashed ships or the oxygen and fuel tanks described. +This includes both sides of the road, all the way around the mesa. See Map Exhibit 3. + + (PHX-3I) There are no indications of any such facilities. No one remembers any such +facilities. Such facilities are not there today. + + (PHX-3J) A complete examination of the area and the top of the mesa show no evidence of +any 4000 foot long cleared area. If such ever existed, scars in the landscape would still be +present. See Map Exhibit 3. + + (PHX-3K) Physical examination does not reveal past or present helicopter landing pads +anywhere in the area. Local residents do not remember any extensive helicopter activity, of any +kind, in the area. + + (PHX-3L) There is no record or local memory of any military presence, garrison, or troop +movements, past or present, in the Dulce area. Since there is only one major highway into and +out of Dulce, the presence of any military truck convoys or ambulances would not have gone un- +noticed by the local residents. And, as mentioned previously, there has never been any major +helicopter activity that could have brought in airborne troops. + + (PHX-3M) Contrary to the statements in the Krill2 information, there is no physical indication +of any installation in the Dulce area or in, around or underneath the Archuleta Mesa. Both ground +and aerial surveys do not indicate any suspicious terrain features. + + An airborne magnetometer survey of the described areas reveal no unusual underground +features that could be interpreted as a large underground base. If an underground base was +located 1-KM beneath the Archuleta Mesa, and it was 3-KM wide by 8-KM long, its presence +would be revealed by the magnetometer. Any underground facility of the size described would +be easily detected even if it was buried 5-KM below the mesa. It would be more than obvious. +It would "shout" its presence. The Magnetometer Contour Chart indicates no hidden underground +facility or any unusual excavations or caverns. See Exhibit-9. + + * * * + + +4) +Source Information +Excerpts: +PROJECT BETA +BY DR. PAUL BENNEWITZ + + (4A)...numerous road blocks extend northward.

All electrical and electronic equipment must be 'hardened' using specific +techniques perfected prior to implementation. This information has been checked by interaction +and eavesdropping on their communication channels _______as far as weaknesses are concerned. +The program would be instigated in phases: + + (4F) + 1) The first procedure would be to close the gates of the dam above the Navajo River. This +dam could be held closed for the duration. Internal to the one cave, there is a small dam for +water storage. Its capacity is small. + + (4G) There is also a discharge outlet downstream that could be closed, causing waste water +to back up into the caves. The water is vacuum pumped apparently by some electrostatic means +from the river. (4H) There is a water intake and dam upstream that can be totally cut off and the +water re-routed to Chama, New Mexico. + + * * * + +Findings: + + (PHX-4A) There are no roadblocks on any roads in the Dulce Area. See Photo Exhibit 7, of +Reservation Road # J-2. There are no roadblocks present. According to County Maintenance +Crews, the only time Road J-2 was blocked was years ago when it was "washed-out" by heavy +rains in the area. + + (PHX-4B) Reservation Road # J-2, 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, is a narrow, winding, dirt +road. It does not match the description in the source information. + + (PHX-4C) No such facilities exist. No one ever remembers the existence of any such +facilities. + + (PHX-4D) Investigations on foot, by vehicle, and by aerial survey, show no evidence of +secret entrances to any facility or a base as large as the one described in the source information. + + (PHX-4E) An Electro-Magnetic "spectrum sweep" of the Archuleta Mesa and the Town of +Dulce, revealed no unusual electromagnetic disturbances. The entire area was surveyed by a +"Total Field" Magnetometer. No unusual magnetic disturbances were recorded. + + (PHX-4F) There are no records of any "Dams" on the Navajo River anywhere near the Dulce +area or north of the Archuleta Mesa. The "Dam" described in the source information does not +exist. + + (PHX-4G) An "on-foot" survey of the Navajo River did not reveal the existence of any +"discharge outlets" downstream. There is no evidence of any caves. The Indians interviewed did +not know of any caves, along the river, as described in the source information. + + (PHX-4H) There is no "water intake" or "dam" upstream on the Navajo River. The lack of +any "dams" can be verified by consulting any topographical or aeronautical charts of the area. +Re-routing the Navajo River, by damming it, to Chama, New Mexico, as described by Bennewitz, +would be a miraculous feat. Chama, New Mexico is at an elevation of 8,025 feet above sea level, +as indicated by Aeronautical Chart # 45 dated July 25, 1991. Also noted, on this same chart, is +the elevation of Dulce as 6,800 feet above sea level. It would be a natural impossibility to have +the water of the Navajo River re-routed to Chama, as the water would have flow up-hill over the +Continental Divide that separates the two towns. The mountainous terrain ranges from 9,025 to +9,916 feet above sea level with no obvious gravitational advantages between the two towns. Such +an effort would require the installation on a monster pipeline and pumping station to accomplish +this. No such pipeline or pumping station has ever been built in this area. + + * * * +5) +Source Information +Excerpt +Thisisit.Txt +Wm. C. Cooper + + ...The alien underground base is located beneath an indian reservation near the small town of +Dulce, New Mexico... + + * * * + +Findings: + + All of the previous "Findings" apply to this source information. + + * * * + + + CONCLUSIONS: + + Information from many sources regarding the existence of an alleged U.S.\Alien Base at +Dulce, New Mexico, does not agree with the facts obtained by the investigation carried out by +The Phoenix Project. It would appear that the information describing this alleged U.S./Alien Base +and the numerous facilities associated with it, is entirely false. This would indicate deliberate +disinformation supplied to UFO investigators and all those interested in UFO research. It seems +that this disinformation is designed to mis-lead and mis-direct serious researchers away from the +truth. It seems incredible that serious UFO researchers and the UFO Movement, in general, could +accept the information regarding a large U.S.\Alien Base near Dulce, without making a detailed +and complete investigation. + The facts revealed by the Phoenix Project investigation do not support the presence of a joint +U.S.\Alien base near Dulce -- and it is not in, around, or under the Archuleta Mesa. Perhaps there +is a such a base somewhere else on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation, but if that is true, it seems +strange that the Apaches, the local residents and the proper local authorities have no knowledge +of its presence or that such a base ever existed. + + From a practical stand-point, a base as large as the one described in the information supplied +by the sources quoted, along with a staff of 2000 aliens and their human co-workers, would need +to meet certain logistical requirements. Any sizeable joint U.S.\Alien base, located anywhere, +would need to meet the same requirements. + + 1. The presence of a large, highly technical, human work-force. + + 2. Support facilities for such a human work-force, i.e., housing, medical, recreational, service +and shopping, and service support facilities. + + 3. There would obviously be work-shifts with workers coming and going at certain hours. +None of this activity could be totally concealed. This activity would be recognized by other +people in the area. + + 4. Such a base would require operating supplies which would require incoming freight +shipments. Delivering such supplies would require delivery trucks or some form of air +transport. Such activity, on a regular basis, would not go un-noticed by local residents. + + 5. If such a base existed, above ground or underground, there would need to be security +guards, fenced or controlled areas and regular perimeter patrols. A relationship with local law +enforcement officials would be required. The presence of such security forces and patrols would +not go un-noticed by residents in the area. + + 6. Local authorities, i.e., city, county, and law enforcement, would know if such a base or +facility existed in their area. + + Please note. None of the foregoing criteria exist, or have existed, in or around the Town of +Dulce or anywhere on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. Nor do they exist in any other +"remote areas" where there are suspected U.S. or joint U.S\Alien bases. Thus, one can only +conclude that such bases cannot remain "hidden" in remote areas. Someone will always know or +remember that something strange is going-on in any remote area. + + Where then, should one look for such bases? The answer should be obvious. Such bases must +meet the requirements outlined previously. They are located in known areas which meet all the +logistical requirements. There are any number of government or military installations in New +Mexico that easily meet such requirements. However, gaining entry to such facilities, to prove +that such a base exists, would prove difficult if not impossible to any civilian researcher without +the proper credentials, security clearances and a "need-to-know." + + The following pages contain the maps, photographs and scientific exhibits associated with this +Report. + + + Signed, + + + The Phoenix Project + + +end of file + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

All Rights Reserved. + +Summum +Salt Lake City, Utah + +Summum(r) is a registered trademark. + + PREFACE + + Billions of years ago, the universe and everything within it +exploded into being. The creation of the universe is the single +paramount event from which all other events precipitate. That it +happened is obvious. Understanding how it happened is our ultimate +quest. As human beings, we ponder the origins of the universe and +its subsequent nature. + + On the smallest scale, the cosmos reveals to us a universe of +quanta particles; on the largest, a universe filled with galaxies, +stars, planets, life, and intelligence. The progression seems +infinite. + + Are we then to believe ourselves alone in the vastness of +creation, or perhaps even the crown of it? Is it so inconceivable +to imagine that others have progressed beyond our current level of +technological and spiritual means? + + In 1975, "Corky" Ra, an administrative manager for a large Salt +Lake City supply company, began to receive a series of "visits" +from advanced living beings. His first reactions of shock and +disbelief lead him to a period of seclusion. + + Yet the visits continued. The beauty and purity of the concepts +that these individuals brought to him were changing his life +dramatically. He was instructed to write a book in order to make +this information available to those who are ready to hear it. The +book was written, and the teachings are now available through the +publication. + + + THE FIRST ENCOUNTER + + References to encounters with Beings not of this planet can be +found in all major philosophies and religions dating back to the +beginning of recorded history. Encounters with Beings +extraterrestrial or otherwise have happened before. Filled with +these encounters, our philosophies and religions have formed the +groundwork for enormous social changes with humankind. + + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + + Today scientists and governmental agencies give serious +consideration to the possibility of life elsewhere. Extensive +research and efforts are being expended to contact extraterrestrial +life forms. No longer can the conscious human ignore the question, +"Is there intelligent life in places other than Earth?" + + Something is happening! The majority of the population believe +in the probability of extraterrestrial life, and many of them have +seen evidence to sustain that belief. Even prominent people such +as Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, former presidents of the United +States of America, have reported mysterious encounters. The +condition of the mind, be it opened or closed, will determine +whether humans will find answers to the many questions which plague +them concerning other intelligent life and the enigma surrounding +the origin of the cosmos. + + This is my report of an encounter with Beings not of this planet. +It is a true story -- as true as I understand truth to be -- as +true as I am able to describe it. I wish to report that I have had +an unprecedented, modern day, personal encounter with advanced +Beings. One might ask, "Who are they and where did they come from? +How did they contact me? Are they friendly or unfriendly? What +treasures of knowledge did they have to share with me?" + + My initial reaction to the encounter was that I was losing my +reasoning. I was hesitant to tell anyone what had happened to me. +I felt they would think I had a confused mind or was using some +kind of hallucinogenic drug. The encounter was completely +contradictory to my belief system and to the structure of my "ego." + + I had been an Elder in the Mormon Church, married with two +children, and well educated. I didn't possess the mental "space" +or openness to accept the events which happened to me. + + Originally, I thought these Beings had come into my life to suit +their own purposes, using me to fulfill their ends. I can say that +I now know how it feels to have an encounter of the type so often +spoken of in history. I know how it feels to touch Beings not of +this world -- what they look like, how they smell, and how it is to +be with them. I know how they behave, where they come from, and +why they contacted me. + + In retrospect, I concede that what happened to me did not cause +fear or anxiety except for when my "ego" refused to accept the +reality of the encounter. I was also concerned about what other +people would think of me if I explained my experience to them. In +the past I believed that people who told of experiences like mine + +were either lying or mentally ill. This put me in a precarious +situation. There has always been ridicule directed at those who +have publicized their experiences. Society is full of strident +professional debunkers whose hidden personal fears have sealed + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + +their minds. + + In 1974, I had finished constructing a den in my new home. The +home was built for me by my father and was situated in an exclusive +area of the Salt Lake Valley. Located at the base of Mount +Olympus, it had a fabulous view where you could see from one end of +the valley to the other. I was the administrative manager for a +large supply company in Salt Lake City. After work, and the normal +greetings to wife and children, I would go down to the den to relax +for a few minutes before dinner. Sitting on the carpeted floor +with my back against the wall, I would close my eyes and just rest. + +There was no noise, just total silence, complete calm. It was a +wonderful way to relax from a hectic day. After several months of +this form of relaxation, I began to notice a "ringing" in my ears. +The more I listened to it, the more intense the ringing became. + + Months passed, and as often as possible I would practice my +"relaxation" in the den after work, listening to this sound that +had now moved to the center of my mind. During this time, my wife +and I began to perceive the world from two totally unrelated +perspectives. Our marriage dissolved and we were divorced. I +moved, changed employment which doubled my income, and was now +practicing my relaxation in an apartment after work. + + One afternoon in late October 1975, after calling upon clients +all day, I came home to the apartment, sat down on the front room +sofa, and began to practice my relaxation. I closed my eyes, +turning my attention away from all outside noise and towards the +sound within my mind. It became very intense. Suddenly, I was +totally engulfed by the sound, every cell of my body vibrating. It +seemed as if the sound was coming from both outside and inside of +me simultaneously. It was completely encompassing. + + Instantly, I opened my eyes and found myself standing next to an +enormous pyramid. I was neither frightened nor concerned. An +unusual calm and peace permeated my entire being. I was in a +totally aware state of consciousness. There were no questions in +my mind, such as, "Why am I standing next to this huge pyramid?" +I had heard about pyramids from my studies of world history in +school, but I knew little about them. + + I was fascinated by this pyramid. I began walking around it, to +what I perceived to be the north side. It appeared to be about one +half mile long at the base and made of a material similar to +graphite. Its surface was smooth, and I did not notice any +distinguishing markings or etchings, nor did I see any entrance +ways. Grass covered the ground and it was as perfectly manicured +as a golf green. The sky was bright but there was no sun. Stars +filled the heavens. There was no sound or movement of any kind. +It felt as if everything was perfect, and my being there was part +of this perfect state. + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + + As I arrived at what I believed to be the north side of the +pyramid, I saw another structure. This second structure had a +round, convex shape, like a flattened ball. It also was very +large, appearing to be about one hundred yards in diameter. It +seemed to be constructed of the same material as the pyramid. Its +surface was smooth with no markings or visible entrance ways. I +walked right up to the structure, feeling drawn towards it. I felt +compelled to walk through its wall, and I did. + + At this point I became intensely interested in my body for it +amazed me to be able to walk through a wall that was at least three +feet thick. I felt my hands and my arms. I could feel my body. +It was real and I was alive. I was conscious. I breathed. My +heart was beating. Physically nothing had changed, and yet I had +just walked through the wall -- unbelievable! The material of the +wall seemed to just flow around my body. I could feel the ground, +but it was as if I was "melting" through the wall. + + Passing through the wall, I found myself in a large room resonant +with light radiating from the air. The walls, floor, and ceiling +looked as if they were made of very thick glass. Ahead of me, +about thirty feet away, stood a group of individuals. They looked +like humans, yet they were different. Both male and female +individuals were there. Their appearance was striking! They were +so beautiful, so elegant, that I could not take my eyes off of +them. Their facial features and bodies were so perfectly formed, +it seemed as if they were divine in their physical appearance. I +had never seen such extremely attractive people before. As I +started to wonder about them, a concept came into my mind which +answered all my questions. They established a high level +telepathic link with my mind, and instantaneously I understood +them. I knew of their origin, their work, and their purpose. + + They guided me across the room and directed my attention to an +area on the floor. Out of the floor rose an elliptical glass-like +shaft approximately eighteen by ten inches in size. I watched it +rise from the floor and looked into it. Concepts started streaming +through my mind. It seemed as if I had been standing there for a +lifetime, for several lifetimes, so penetrating were these concepts +flowing into my mind. I subsequently learned that the glass-like +shaft was a form of crystal, and that as I looked down into it, +there was another crystal shaft protruding from the ceiling towards +the back of my head. With newfound appreciation, I am reminded +that recorded history makes mention of communication taking place +through the use of crystals. Within religious books such as The +Bible, The Torah, and The Bhagavad Gita are found passages +describing the use of crystals in communication. Perhaps the +crystals I encountered can be considered a contemporary Urim and +Thummim (see Exodus ch. 28 vs. 30). + + After sorting out some of the concepts which were now in my mind, +I came to realize that for the human being to understand these + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + +concepts in such a short term, it is necessary to reorganize the +human thinking processes. The mind must be organized rather than +in a state of confusion. I have since concluded that with the +facility of the crystals which were tuned to the memory (chemical) +storage within my brain, the concepts were literally impressed upon +me by these magnificent individuals. + + I was never hesitant, nor did I fear or regret anything they did +to me. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It is difficult for me +to explain how wonderful this experience was. There are no words +to express the love and devotion I now have for these divine Beings +and their work. In their presence, I feel overwhelmed. I feel as +if I am in the "seventh heaven." I'm in the safest place one could +ever imagine. I cannot think of a greater gift than what they gave +me. + + At this point, it is important to stress that I was at all times +in control of my body and its functions. At no time was my body +ever entered by another entity or spirit. I was always conscious +while the concepts were being given to me. There was no entity +speaking through me. With the current public awareness of +"channeling," a process wherein earthbound, disembodied entities +use the bodies of embodied entities to speak through, it is +important to understand that this is not what happened to me. The +concepts were given to me, and I worked to gain an understanding of +them on my own. + + I found myself sitting on the sofa in the exact spot where I +started this experience, the sound still in my mind. I simply sat +there in amazement. At first I thought I had just experienced some +sort of mental alteration. I was in a quandary about my +rationality. The thought of telling anyone about this experience +seemed outrageous, and I remained uncertain about how I was going +to deal with it. I didn't want to tell anyone about it for fear of +ridicule. Yet the experience was so profoundly beautiful, there +was no way I could erase it from my mind. There was no way to +elude the gift of awareness of the concepts. There were conflicts +about my possession of the knowledge, of what to do with it, how to +figure it all out, and the persistent question, "WHY ME?" What did +I do to deserve this wonderful experience? + + Being extroverted in nature seemed to make it all the more +difficult. I found myself wanting to hide from the world, not +knowing what was going to come out of my mouth. I might tell +someone of the concepts and they would give me the quiz about the +origins of this knowledge. So, for a short period of time, I +withdrew, spending the majority of time working in my mind with the +concepts that began to fill my life with understanding. + + As time passed I began to comprehend the wisdom of the concepts +and to experience their role within the world I lived in and knew. +I began to recognize how they formed the underlying Principles that + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + +create my world and the world around me. Just as I was getting +comfortable with what had happened to me, I would encounter these +angelic Beings again. They escorted me again to the crystals, +giving me additional information by impressing more concepts within +my mind. Although, I now began to discover how to apply the +concepts, which helped me to explain to those around me what was +happening to me. + + For the first time in my life, my mental direction started to +move forward rather than in circles. I was given a gift which made +me different than others around me. The gift of these concepts +took me from the chaos of the normal humankind mind and into a +clarity of mind beyond belief. Heavenly Beings, whom I began to +refer to as the Summa Individuals (meaning Highest Individuals), +gave me the knowledge of my personal destiny, for I had arrived at +an understanding of who they were and what their purpose was. I +came to understand the nature of the work I was responsible to +complete, even though I had no details of how to accomplish this +task. I thought it would all be laid out like an instruction +booklet. I assumed that with their knowledge, power, and advanced +state, all I had to do was start the process of informing people +about the Principles and the Summa Individuals would do the rest. + + What an illusion I was entertaining, thinking that they would do +the work and I would be the benefactor of their labors; that I +could watch them use their powers to build and change planet Earth, +and I could reap the rewards of their efforts. It took a period of +time before I realized that all the benefits and rewards ARE IN THE +WORK! It took awhile for me to exchange my ego for their celestial +ego and allow myself to comprehend the true value of the gift I had +been given. + + I have been with the Summa Individuals many, many times, and I +expect to be with them again. But I am not the only one who has +seen them. Many others have been privileged and blessed to be with +them, touch them, and learn from them. These advanced Beings work +with those ready to take up the labor of universal progression and +divine evolution, and within the bounds of natural LAW provide +assistance to those willing to take the responsibility of this +destiny. + + From the very beginning, the Summa Individuals opened my +awareness to the Principles. The Principles are not new. They +have always existed and have been reported throughout the ages. +Each time the Summa Individuals support and assist in the evolution +of Humankind, acting as a catalyst for progression, and always +bound by the constraint of the LAW, the Principles are recorded and +made available to those ready to hear them. + + And so it was that I began telling those around me of my +encounters, each time explaining more of what was happening. I +began the work that led me to writing the book, SUMMUM: SEALED + Copyright 1989 (C) Summum + +EXCEPT TO THE OPEN MIND. To this date I have found some of the +Principles recorded in books brought to me by students who have +found fragments of them here and there. But I have yet to find a +single record of the Grand Principle of Creation except that which +is found in SUMMUM: SEALED EXCEPT TO THE OPEN MIND. This Grand +Principle is the answer to the ultimate questions, "WHY?" and +"HOW?" Creation Exists. + + As stated, I can not imagine a gift greater than the gift the +Summa Individuals gave me. My understanding of the Principles has +allowed me to help my students find the answers to life. The +application of the Principles has changed my life and allowed me to +become a well known person. The gift of these Principles has +brought me love, a complete love I never knew existed. It is a +tenderness as soft as a warm gentle breeze; a closeness so close, +the world melts away as I melt within love's union. The love is so +complete that in its warm gentle wetness, creation's womb holds us +as if we were its chosen divine birth. The gift is peace of mind, +an understanding of Creation Itself. The gift is to be held firmly +within the mind of Creation with nothing to ever fear. It is a +strength of mind drawn from the force which causes all existence to +be -- happiness. + + Here is the message the Summa Individuals have for you. The +precious gift they gave to me, I give to you. For you, the open +minded, have evolved far enough to understand the very Principles +of Creation. You too can have the wealth of the wealthy, the fame +of the famous. Accept the peace of mind, the understanding of +Creation, and the strength from the force which brings all Creation +into existence. Held firmly and secure in the knowledge and wisdom +that there is nothing which may harm you, you are held against the +bosom of Creation Itself. + + The love beyond your greatest imagination awaits you! + + "Corky" Ra + + + You can obtain a copy of SUMMUM: SEALED EXCEPT TO THE OPEN MIND +by ordering through your local bookstore or contact Summum at 1502 +River Lane, Santa Ana, CA 92706. + +ISBN: 0-943217-00-8 + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The photograph direction is verified to be Northwest. Thedebunker change + +the photo direction to Southwest.2. The UFO is shown in the video tape to illuminate itselfand later in the same tape, cloke it's midsect +o +n. The debunkerignores this self illumination and boldly says, "It is obviouslynot glowing." (The debunker must expect us to believe that +e + knows how UFO's are designed and operate. He furtherdemonstrates his knowledge of UFO design with his argumentthat the "window" spacing +s + arbitrary.)3. The clouds in these photos were at approx. 18,000 feet andmoving at 90 knots which supports the 4 min. elapsed timebetween +t +he photos. The debunker changed the weather reportsto 30 knots so he could increase the elapsed time to 30 min.4. In photo #5 the clouds +c +an not be seen and seem to have moved away at 90 knots. (Plus more tech. info. on the shutter speed.) As the debunker ignores the 90 knot +e +ather report henow claims the clouds should be seen in his 30 knot wind.5. The weather reports also verify that the wind is blowing the cl +o +uds from left to right. The debunker printed a multi pagereport to the contrary, saying that he would resign if he waswrong. The next day + +he was forced to admit he was wrong andretracted his statement on TV (But he did not resign.)6. The 1st signting (photos 1 thru 5) has bee +n + re-enacteddemonstrating how I held the camera. Contrary to the photoevidence the debunker argues that a tripod was used.7. The computer a +n +alysis of the photo #5 rules out any support(Dr. Maccabee and Dr. Carlotto). Similar to the debunker's fakeUFO hovering over the Chrysler +b +uilding in N.Y., it now seems that the debunker has 'fixed up' a computer print out using a COPY of photo #5. (Watch for it!)PHOTO #68. Th +e + electric transformer on the light pole is dull gray. Thedebunker changed it to aluminum.9. The photo shows that I moved the camera with t +h +e UFO'sdirection. The debunker says he does not believe that. PHOTO #710. The computer analysis of this photo confirms the UFOwas beyond t +h +e tree and the tree overlapped the UFO. Thedebunker ignores the analysis done using the original.PHOTO #1311. This is one of the multiple +p +hotos taken that night inwhich the UFO was at different elevations during the incident.Before the size of the UFO was established to be 13 +f +eet(type #1), I consistantly said I thought the UFO was about30' dia. I therefore would naturally mistake a smallerobject to be farther aw +a +y.PHOTO #1412. The UFO rocked back and forth as it hovered. The debunkerargues that we should not see the bottom edge of the tiltedUFO. (H +e + ignores the witness testimony.)PHOTO #1613. I reported the UFO to fly 'overhead' (but not 90 deg.overhead). The debunker picked out the +d +escription 'overhead' and then uses a page of math to show that theUFO was not 90 deg. overhead. (He unwittingly supported mytestimony.)14 +. + The photo shows the glow of the UFO bottom to be anuninterrupted circle. The debunker claims the glowing circleto be a round fluorescen +t + light. (He ignores that a fluorescent light has a dark power plug that interrupts the circle.)PHOTO #1715. Photos #16 and #17 were taken +o +ver 50 feet apart. Thedebunker changes the location of #17 to be the same as #16.(A team of reporters verified this and later tossed out th +e + pages of math that the debunker uses to impress and said"this guy can't be a real scientist, even we can see that hisfigures don't measure + +up.")PHOTO #1816. The trees in this photo are measured to be 175 feet away.The debunker uses another page of math and then moves thetrees +t +o better fit his theory to 440 feet away. 17. This photo and most of the others have 'white spots' and'emulsion streaks' that are verified + +by Polaroid engineers asfilm defects. The debunker calls these defects "water drops"and "supports" or any other thing that will help his t +h +eory.PHOTO #1918. As recorded in the early reports, the UFO rocks back andforth. The debunker ignores the testimony and again questionsth +e + tilt of the UFO over the road. 19. There was no rain as verified by the Weather Service. Thedebunker makes up rain so he can claim that t +h +ere should bereflections.20. During the photo #19 incident I did nothing that could bedescribed by the word "calmly." The debunker change +d + mytestimony to include "calmly."PHOTO #2121. I reported the UFO to be "over the truck toward the trees150 feet away." The debunker drops + +the "toward the trees 150 feet asway" and uses several pages of math to show thatthe UFO was not "over the truck" (as in 90 deg.). He again +u +nwittingly supports my testimony.22. The two other witnesses testified to being 600 feet awayand report seeing an orange glow. The debunk +e +r changed their testimony by moving their location to within 100 feetand said they saw nothing.23. Earlier the debunker boldly says the UF +O + and it's "arbitrary windows" are never seen again after photos #1thru #9. But he now changes his mind and says it issimilar to Photo #21. +2 +4. The photo evidence shows the UFO to be self illuminating.Again the debunker pretends to know the correct designproperties of a UFO with + +regard to illumination and symmetry.PHOTOS #22 AND #2325. The camera used was the same 108 Polaroid verified to have a manual adjustable f +o +cus. The debunker changed thecamera and said it has a fixed focus type. (It's easy to debunka photo if you change the witness testimony a +n +d the camera type.)26. Again the debunker asserts his design knowledge of UFOsand insists they cannot self illuminate.PHOTOS #25 thru #342 +7 +. I was given the special 4 lens camera and asked to useit if I had an opportunity to photograph the UFO. 16 dayslater, 4 days longer tha +n + the previous sighting, I took thephotos along with my wife. The debunker argues that it took"a long time (almost three weeks)" before I h +a +d the opportunity.28. As I looked through the 4 lens viewfinder, the lights fromthe UFO seemed very far away and therefore the UFO seemedt +o + me to be very big. The photo analysis showed it to be smalland close. (Maybe a type of unmanned probe.) This small'probe' showed up in ph +o +tos #38L and #38R. The debunker argues that I lied and ignores that my wife reported what shesaw with her naked ey (w/contacts) to be smal +l + and close.Note: I find it interesting how the debunkers have avoided the video tape and the stereo photographs.29. When we are outside ou +r + Spitz dog is always at our feet,unless she is fending off an intruder which is what she is shown doing in photo #22. The debunker says th +e + dog is"totally indifferent."30. A daytime re-enactment of Photo #22 and #23 show thatthe top of the wooden wind screen did not reflect in + +the pool.The debunker ignores the re-enactment and wants the UFOto reflect in the pool even though the reflecting angle isimpossible. OTHER + +DEBUNKING EFFORTS NOT RELATED TO THE PHOTOSMy wife and I deliberately omitted reference to the blue beamand telepathy and intentionally cha +n +ged minor points towithhold our identity and therein reported the 1st sightingas if a friend "Mr. X" had taken the photos. The debunkers f +i +ndthis unreasonable and say the blue beam and telepathy were added later.I am well known in my community as ED WALTERS and as a respect to +m +y stepfather (deceased), the only father I can remember, I sometimes add his name (Hanson) to mine. Thedebunkers have twisted this and trie +d + to make much of this.I am an average family man. The debunkers describe meas "not prominent or ourstanding in any perceptible way."There +a +re several photographers, all of whom have photos ofless quality. They are known to Dr. Maccabee and D. Cook.The debunkers ignore these ph +o +tos and the 100 plus witnesses.I have never photographed the UFO in the presence of aninvestigator. The debunker states the contrary but c +a +n nottell us who.I speak basic 'country side' Spanish. I lived in Costa Rica forapprox. 5 years. One debunker is fluent in Spanish anddoe +s +n't like my Spanish.By far the debunkers have had their greatest joy with their"ritual seance" story supported by another story, the "ghost +p +hoto" story. Both of these stories were finally destroyedwhen the photo re-enactments showed time after time thatthe fuzzy blur ("ghost") +t +urned out to be reflections off a 9 foot glass door.One debunker added a basement to my house, ie darkroom.In Florida coast line propery th +e +re are NO basements.When I passed two lie detector tests the debunker said "itis well known that a sociopathic personality can pass liedete +c +tors."When I passed 8 hours of psychological tests, they said nothing.When I under went 8 hours of hypnotic regressions, they saidnothing.T +h +is five page recap of the debunking charges points outthat the debunkers offer NO evidence. They only changethe witness testimony, then al +t +er or omit the real details.I believe these few people are indeed very motivated. I believe that they will stop at very little to discredi +t + thephotographs, my family, and all the other witnesses inGulf Breeze. Their personal attacks go a long ways in portraying the scope of th +e +ir desperate attitude to supress the Gulf Breeze sightings. They have tried to label me a "conman", liar, occult master, etc. but my comm +u +nity knows me and rejects these charges.When the first person accounting of our book UFO - PROOF POSITIVE is available to the general publi +c +,the debunker will be defeated. He will no longer findit so easy to twist the testimony. The absolutedocumented account will be there for +a +ll to see.The overwhelming events that rocked my family and our small town will not be hidden away by a few debunkers.The questions will be + +asked and the answers will one daybe discovered, "WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY WANT."Ed Walters + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Johnson, Ph.D., MUFON + Don Olson, MUFON + Rita Andreeva, MUFON + + Four 11-year-old girls who had attended a private Christian +elementary school together were having a slumber party reunion at the +home of one of the girls on Education Hill in Redmond, Washington. At +a few minutes after either 12:30 AM or 1:30 AM they were looking out +the window to see if they could find the girl's dog. They were +downstairs in the TV room, while the parents and brother and sister of +the host were asleep upstairs. They witnessed a craft-like UFO, +described as either a domed-disc or two plates put together edge-to- +edge, hovering in the night sky. It had white and red lights and +possibly faint green lights around the rim of the object. Of the two +girls interviewed, both thought right away that it was a UFO (i.e. +"spacecraft"), and not an aircraft because it was similar to a picture +they had once seen in a book. + + The UFO was hovering at about 30 degrees above the horizon when +first sighted. It was described as smaller than a house in size, +possibly 25 feet in diameter. The UFO moved to the right horizontally +about 10 degrees, reversed direction abruptly and moved back in a +straight line to the left 10 degrees, moved back to the right 5 +degrees to a center position, and then moved really fast straight +down. It moved down behind some tall evergreen trees and the girls +thought that it probably came down in a clearing in Nike Park, about +3-4 blocks from the girl's home where they were staying. The UFO was +reported to be visible through the window of the TV room for a total +of between 2 and 7 minutes. + + Some time later, within 15 minutes to a half an hour, two of the +girls witnessed a frightening face. The accounts of how the face +appeared to them varies. In one account the girls thought they saw +something like a shadow or a figure at the top of the stairs leading +up to the kitchen. The became scared and hid in their sleeping bags; +they zipped them over their heads and lay next to each other. They +conversed through the bags and agreed to look at the same time, so +that it would not be too scary. As they pulled the bags down from +over their heads they saw a dark, mossy green face only about arm's +length away. Really frightened, one of the girls pulled the sleeping +bag over her head, and when she looked out again in a few minutes, the +being was gone. The other girl's account said they were lying on +their backs trying to get to sleep and staring up at the ceiling when +all of a sudden they both saw this green face. She watched it for +about 45 seconds, "and then it just, went away". Asked if it just +vanished like it was a slide from a projector or something, she said, +no, it wasn't like that. It was just like a real face, but it was +green in color and it was looking at them. The second girl appears to +be unclear about how the face appeared because she also reports she +covered her head with the sleeping bag at one point but can't remember +when. + + The face was described as greenish in hue, with red, glowing +eyes. Interviewed separately, both of the girls said there was +something like a dent in one of the cheeks. One girl said it looked +like the "face on Mars" photograph she saw in the newspaper about a +week later, while the other girl said it had pointy ears and bushy +eyebrows. When asked a direct question later about the pointed ears, +the second girl said she didn't remember any ears. If the face had +indeed been attached to a body, one girl figures that the being must +have been about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. + + About 10 to 15 minutes later the second girl, who lived there, +saw a clump of rainbow colored lights slowly revolving in her kitchen +and flashing light all over the ceiling and refrigerator. The first +girl made a vague reference to lights in the kitchen but apparently +did not see the rainbow-colored clump of lights hovering in the +kitchen (the kitchen is partially visible from the TV room, up half a +flight of stairs). + + The girls became noisy discussing what they had seen woke the +mother. The mother came down and ordered them to go to sleep. +Apparently nothing further happened that night. + + Of the other two girls, they are certain that one saw what they +saw but would not consent to be interviewed by UFO investigators. +They are unsure what the fourth girl saw. The second girl, the one at +whose home the events occurred, reported that she had had a +precognitive experience during that previous day, recalling during a +croquet match that she had dreamed those exact events some weeks +before. She also reports that since the UFO incident she is no longer +subject to nose bleeds, which she reports have occurred to her +chronically throughout her life and also occur with her father.

Tonight we welcome Richard Hoagland. During the +question-and-answer period, when it is your turn to speak, please keep line +length to around 60 columns. Keep questions short so that all participants h +ave +an opportunity to ask their questions. When you have finished formulating yo +ur +question, end with GA so that our guest will know when to begin. First, Ted +Markley, my assistant in charge of Paranormal issues will introduce the guest +, +then ask some questions to start things moving. After that we will take +questions as long as possible. GA Ted. + +(Ted) Tonight we are fortunate to have as our special guest Richard Hoagland +, +author of "The Monuments of Mars" and founder of the Mars Project and the new +ly +formed Mars Mission. Dick's long list of impressive credentials can found in +the +Convention Center lobby as well as in the Issues Forum. Before we open the fl +oor +to questions I will conduct a brief interview with Dick which will cover some +of +the more frequently asked question. Welcome, Dick! GA + +(Dick) Thanks, Ted. It's nice to be here. Ah, where ever "here" is. + +(Ted) While many here tonight have read your book, others only know of the +"Face" on the Martian surface through tabloids such as the "National Enquirer +." +I know that this Martian surface feature is getting the serious attention of +noted members of the scientific community. Can you comment on the caliber of +the +team on the Mars Project. GA + +(Dick) Well, Ted, the list is constantly growing. We have some whom have been +involved almost from the beginning -like Dr. Mark Carlotto, of the Analytic +Science Corporation, in Reading Mass. But, then we have "new blood" that com +es +to us out of the blue, like Erol Torun of Defense Mapping who read my book la +st +okfall, was _determined_ to prove me wrong -- and wound up discovering some +extraordinary stuff. So it just keeps growing.GA +{ +(Ted) Dick, you recently started the Mars Mission as spin off of the Mars +Project. Can you explain the charter and purpose of the Mars Mission? GA + +(Dick) When it became clear last Fall that we were really on to something, w +hen +the numbers started really coming together I realized that the biggest hurdle +to +getting verification was going to be the _political_ process. So, if the +Project was the originator of the research, the Mars Mission is the "home" of +what I like to think of as the necessary "democratization" of the data to get +the _political_ system up to speed for verification. In other words, we need +to +put the pressure on NASA to TAKE NEW PICTURES. And that means Congress and +people who want to know if this is real.ga + +(Ted) Is there a way that interested people (even though they may not be high +ly +technical) can keep abreast of new development in both the Mars Project and t +he +Mars Mission? ----- Dick got knocked off. Please stand by. For those of you w +ho +just joined us, Dick Hoagland was knocked off and should be back on shortly. +ga + +(Dick H.) Sorry, guys I seem to have slipped into a warp. This ship takes a +little getting used to. One can't be "all thumbs".ga + +(Ted) I'll repeat my last question. Is there a way that interested people (e +ven +though they may not be highly technical) can keep abreast of new development +in +both the Mars Project and the Mars Mission? GA + +(Dick H.) Let's try again. Yes, there is. One can write to us at the Mars +Mission: P.O. Box 981, Wytheville, VA 24382. Or, one can subscribe to the Ma +rs +Mission Newsletter (at the same P.O. Box). Or, one can actually log-on to ou +r +new (very new -- grin) Mars Mission Board, which we hope to get up and runnin +g +in a week or two. There are so many new developments -- on both the research +front and the political front that we've decided to try the "electronic way" +and +see if it works. I should add that Marty Arant is the guy who really impelled +us +to try this, so if it DOESN'T work blame him!.ga + +(Ted) One last ? before I open the floor. What can the average person do to +help get us back to Mars and get more data on the "Face"? GA + +(Dick H.) (Sorry for the delay -- we have cats) The main thing is that we nee +d +new images of Cydonia, ASAP, And NASA has steadfastly refused to take them!! +! +That simply doesn't make sense. What makes this science, as opposed to that +"other stuff" is that THIS IS TESTABLE. It's that simple. The fact that NASA +doesn't WANT to subject this data to the only fair appraisal at this point, i +s +very suspicious. Which is why we were extremely gratified that we've found su +ch +an excellent reception on Capitol Hill including an invitation to meet with t +he +Chairman (himself!) of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology a +couple of weeks ago. His attention to this problem is probably going to do m +ore +in the long run to get us the answers we need (and deserve) than any other +single development on the political front in the last 13 years. And, to keep +that side of the system "honest" public interest (citizen support for the sim +ple +idea of LOOKING) is ESSENTIAL. This, Congressman Robert A. Roe should get som +e +mail from anyone who wants to let him know that they support HIS interest in +this vital inquiry. His address is: + + The Honorable Robert A. Roe + Chairman, House Committee on Space, Science and Technology + U.S. House of Representatives + Rayburn Building -- Rm 2243 + Washington, D.C. + +Ted, you asked.ga + +(Ted) I'll now open the floor to ? GA + +(Dick H.) Sounds good.ga + +(Georgia) type /que to get in line. + +% Moderator recognizes queue #1 + Paul J. Burke/CA <10> + +(Paul J. Burke/CA) Mr. Hoagland, I feel you are mining the depths of scientif +ic +ignorance, with this phony issue. It is the nadir of anthroprocentric chauvan +ism +to believe some advanced civilization could detect the existence of man on th +is +planet and do nothing more than carve out a mountain that MIGHT be seen, by s +ome +tree dwelling mammal. How could THEY see so far ahead? GA. + +(Dick H.) This goes to the heart of many issues, Paul I personally believe it +is +us who are acting slightly anthropocentric. We have an "image," a "model" fo +r +how "ET" is "supposed" to behave. If the "signal" we get doesn't fit that +"image," we -- NASA -- rejects it. So, which is more anthropocentric? To pur +sue +data where it leads. Or to say, "the data doesn't exist?"ga + +(Paul J. Burke/CA) Aren't the Mars imagers dead? How can NASA take any more +photos? + +(Dick H.) I don't see any connection. The material "ruins" are still there. +When Mars Observer gets there in 1993, all we want is the Cydonia Region +REIMAGED. The objects (there is FAR more than the "face") will still certain +ly +be there.ga + +(Ted) Next + +(Paul J. Burke/CA) I would agree to a 'side trip' on the next Mars mission, + +(Dick H.) It's not even that complicated. Mars Observer will be in a POLAR +ORBIT. It will inevitably fly over EVERY SQUARE INCH OF MARS every 35 or 36 +days. So, all NASA has to agree to is to take the images at the designated ti +me. +And they won't!ga + +% Moderator recognizes queue #2 + Bert <17> + +(Ted) GA Bert + +(Bert) Dick, do you know if the Soviets have an interest in Cydonia and do yo +u +have any information relating to the AP release (a month or so back) indicati +ng +the Soviets had observed something very strange on the surface of Mars? GA + +(Dick H.) I put several items relating to the past research history of this i +nto +the Library earlier today (Ted, can tell you guys how to get them out!) I can +tell you this (as background to some of that material, which relates to past +dealings we've had with the Soviets on this issue. Last January, one of our t +eam +-- Dr. Brian O'Leary a former scientist-astronaut went personally to Moscow w +ith +the pictures. His mission: to try to get Sagdeev and others to take new image +s +with the Phobos spacecraft. They all sat there, looking at the Carlotto +enhancements and were VERY interested, according to O'leary. That was over a +year ago. Late last year, in December, just before the NASA briefing we did I +got a letter from a Soviet scientist whom we've been in direct contact with f +or +about a year. He's a specialist in "problems of extraterrestrial contact". +His +Ph.D. is in this particular subject, in fact! Anyway, HE said the new data wa +s +SO interesting, he was going to Sagdeev (then head of the unmanned Phobos +Mission) to try to get new images of Cydonia from Phobos 2. That was last +December I, of course, immediately shot back a reply telling him HOW the imag +es +might be taken (inclination of orbit to the equator, etc.) So far -- this is +MAY -- nothing. But the Soviet's HAVE announced some pretty peculiar things +around their Phobos mission including a Radio Moscow Report that Marty Arant +heard first-hand which had Orthodox Russian priests going into the Moscow Pho +bos +Control Center to "see the Phobos images of Mars and to talk about the creati +on. +You figure it out.ga. + +(Ted) As Dick mentioned, there will be several files in LIB 10 of the ISSUES +forum tomorrow. Dick was furiously uploading document today and I have not +processed them all yet.... + +(Dick H.) "Furiously" is right.ga + +(Ted) We will have only one ? each until all have had at least one chance. G +A +NEXT + +% Moderator recognizes queue #3 + DON <16> + +(#DON) Ok Thanks Ted. Richard, I have just a simple question. I am presuming +that the majority of your work is concerned with the photos that were taken i +n +the early 70's, and are mostly concerned with the "face" and what you perceiv +e +as structures my question is this. How many independent computer photo +enhancements have been performed by independent facilities, other than the +Carlotto work and if this is so important why is there so much "infighting" +among the various people working on this, such as John Brandenbergs Cydonia +Features, and Vince Di Pietro and Greg Molenaar. Why is there no co-operatio +n? +ga + +(Dick H.) I guess every time in the history of human affairs one comes up +against a problem that is really interesting very "human" problem will +inevitably raise there head. This is true, whether you work at the NSC, at NA +SA, +for the Civil Rights movement, or anything. The fact of the matter is we all +, +all of us who have been involved with this firmly are committed to one goal n +ow: +new images ASAP. That's got to be priority number uno. The rest of it -- whi +ch +says a lot about different emphasis on different aspects of the research is f +ar +less important than that point.ga + +(DON) Ok, so how many independent research efforts have there been that confi +rms +your theory? Or is there only one? ga + +(Dick H.) Good question. In "Monuments" I go into great detail on three +investigations. Each of these did some imaging. The first, of course, was +NASA! Surprised? It as NASA which first "found" this object, and put it on th +e +public record. It was only after that, that others namely DiPietro and +Molenarr, at Goddard, in 1979 did their "thing" -- found the SECOND, +corroborating frames taken of Cydonia at a higher sun-angle which has given u +s +such great data to actually work with. They did enhancements, published and +nothing much happened for EIGHT YEARS. Then, in 1983 I got the images, looked +at +them and realized that I was seeing not only a "face" but other things which +didn't belong there. That's when the third IMAGING investigation began -- at +SRI. Their Prime system did some excellent work, using digital copies of the +NASA Viking tapes. That's when we turned to a FOURTH source, for "independen +t +data" on the imaging: Mark Carlotto. Carlotto, I must say, has put the most +time and effort into extracting every bit of data from these tapes. And he's +brought not only new techniques to the imaging. He's also "attacked" the prob +lem +with new ideas -- such as the "fractal analysis" he's not done and submitted +to +the journals. And every time we use a new technique we turn up DATA not noi +se. +That, I believe, is trying to tell us something.ga + +% Moderator recognizes queue #4 + Stan Tenen <8> + +(Stan Tenen) hi, Richard, this is Stan of meru. (I don't think I can squeeze +in +punctuation ). I have several questions; first, i think that you are focusin +g +on the wrong data; brilliant as Carlotto's analysis is, the best data , in my +opinion is Toruns. the alignments that he shows among the various strange +objects at Cydonia is very hard to explain for example: l the edges of the d& +m +pyramid are very fuzzy in the enhanced photos. I am not convinced by the phot +os +what is extraordinary is that the alignments of the d&m with the bulls eye an +d +the face and the cliff and the tholus are exactly redefine the fuzzy edges of +the d & m so it is not necessary to see it clearly - the alignments sharply +define the edges. Also, it is not hard to find very interesting alignments f +or +example; the cliff subtends the same angle from both the tip of the d & m and +from the city center bulls eye. That means that the edges of the cliff, which +are very well defined and the tip of the d & m and the bulls eye must lie on +the +same circle. By the way, what features has John Brandenberg found - I have n +ot +heard of his data before. Also, you mentioned base 3 and 3609 on the phone +earlier my calculations show 360 base 10 to equal 111100 base 3. 364 base 1 +retry; 364 base 10 equals 111111 base 3, much more elegant. What say you. ga + +(Dick H.) I don't know quite where to begin, Stan. Let me say, first, that yo +u +have confused some of the work just a bit. When I got into this, back in 198 +3, +it was precisely because I thought I saw the potential for some remarkable +relationships between some intriguing objects at Cydonia. I put these ideas +into a VERY primitive numerical "model" in "Monuments" I called it the +"relationship model" and felt that if we were going to ever know at EXISTING +image resolution what we were dealing with it would only be through discovery +of +some very precise, provocative, and repeating numerical RELATIONSHIPS between +these objects. Little did I know that that day would arrive much sooner than +I +thought when I finished the book Erol, in the Fall of last year, in measuring +. +ONE of the most fascinating "structures" near the "face": the so-called "D&M +Pyramid" discovered an extraordinary set of VERY SPECIFIC relationships INTER +NAL +to this object. I, in turn, in remeasuring all the previous alignments, had +noted in the book between the objects that you cited -- the Face, the "City", +the "Cliff" and the "Tholus" (all objects which are much easier to talk about +if +you have images and maps before you!) Anyway, in remeasuring those previousl +y +noted alignments, I discovered to my immense surprise -- and satisfaction! -- +that Torun's precise numerical angles (and derived numerical constants which +we +shall define in a moment) SHOWED UP -- not once . . . or twice . . . but perh +aps +HALF A DOZEN TIMES (I've lost exact count, at this point). The point is this +: +you're right. To me, the REALLY exciting stuff is NOT that something "looks +like a face" or "looks like a Pyramid". It's that Erol and I have discovered +between us something like two or three dozen REPEATING numerical relationship +s +and these have given us the SAME set of repeating mathematical constants -- l +ike +"e" and "pi" -- again . . . and again . . . and again. And these constants +have now yielded a prediction as to the very siting latitude of these objects +on +the planets's surface --. Anyway, you're right. THAT's the "ball to keep +one's eye upon! And, tonight, we're fortunate that Erol is here, to tell us +specifically what he's discovered recently.ga + +(Georgia) Ted is next. + +(Ted) Dick, I think we passed too quickly over a couple of innuendoes that Do +n +raised relative to "Infighting" and lack of co-operation among members of the +Mars Project. Is it true that this has been occurring? GA + +(Dick H.) I'd be less than candid if I didn't say, "yes." But so what? Polit +ics +are everywhere. The point is not who agrees with you, or who decides that "th +is" +area is more important than "that." The point in science is "Can you test yo +ur +hypothesis?" Personality conflicts, hidden agendas, fear of being too bold ( +or +too timid) have no real place in such a process. That's why those of us who +think we need a bold, politically aggressive strategy to get back to Mars for +the crucial data that we need now have frmed the Mars Mission. That doesn't + +(Ted) GA Dick + +(Ted) Dick has been knocked off again. + +(Dick H.) Gone into the ether, again. But, I'm back! + +% Moderator recognizes queue #5 + steve rivera <22> + +(Ted) TO get into QUE type "/que" GA Dick + +(Dick H.) Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes . . . the point is not the politics +of +"personality," but the objective of getting real information on a problem of +first-rate importance. If the criteria for an important problem be that there +are no "politics," then that would eliminate ALL of human activity. Next.ga + +(Ted) GA Steve + +(steve rivera) SORRY I MISSED THE FIRST FIFTEEN MINUTES OF THE CONFERENCE +BESIDES THE "ISSUES" FORUM, WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION (AND PERHAPS +PHOTOS) SUCH AS BBS NUMBERS, ADDRESSES, ETC DTB GA + +(Ted) Steve, there will be a transcript of this CO in the ISSUES Lib 10 soon. +Dick answered that question earlier. If you don't find what you need there se +nd +me EMAIL. NEXT + +% Moderator recognizes queue #6 + Jim S. <12> + +(Dick H.) I should add our Mars BBS number, however, which I forgot earlier +(703)228-7822.ga + +(Jim S.) I should preface by saying the face looks enough like a face to me t +o +merit serious inquiry, however. As you know, this issue lives or dies on +scientific diligence. In your white paper, you refer to the Viking images as +the +"first hard evidence" of the existence of ETI. Was this just a semantical sli +p +(did you mean "possible indication") or do you really consider your findings +"hard evidence"? If so, isn't it possible that NASA's motivation (or lack +thereof) stems from simple mistrust of your methodology and/or scientific +objectivity? GA + +(Dick H.) Excellent question. I used the term "hard" because for all of NASA' +s +30 years of SETI. They've only had THEORY. The evidence in the images -- no +matter how you consider the pros or cons of looking at it -- is hard evidence +. +It must be addressed. It has not been except by this group OUTSIDE of NASA. +I +have entered in LIB 10 what I think as some of the reasons for this. You may +agree or disagree. But the point is this. In science, when a theory +("Hypothesis" is a better term, here) is "on the table," the scientific proce +ss +DEMANDS that it be tested. It hasn't been. The only one's who can TEST it a +t +this point on Mars (which is the only test that will really convince everyone +) +are the NASA folks who control the spacecraft, the launch facilities, the +imaging systems the tracking network, etc.etc.etc. And that"s put a severe +"dent" in the process.ga + +(Ted) Next + +% Moderator recognizes queue #7 + Bert <17> + +(Ted) Bert Passes, Next + +% Moderator recognizes queue #8 + mcorbin <9> + +(mcorbin) Dick, I hope that this is not redundant as I was unable to get on a +t +6:30 due to network problems, but despite official NASA denial of interest in +this aspect of the Martian surface are there any indications of interest on +their part unofficially? I seem to get the indication that they do indeed ha +ve +an interest in this phenomenon, but they are not public about it.ga + +(Dick H.) If they don't have a "official"interest now, they might have shortl +y. +Tomorrow morning, according to a phone conversation we had with the chief aid +to +Congressman Roe last Friday the Congressman is sending an _official_letter to +NASA, asking precisely that question "WHAT (NASA) HAVE YOU DONE ABOUT THIS +DATA?" Now it's become a bit uncomfortable in the last 48 hours or so to lie +to +Congress. I think we're going to find out some interesting things in the next +few days.ga + +(Ted) Ok Next + +% Moderator recognizes queue #9 + DON <16> + +(DON) Richard, I assume you are familiar with William "Bill" Moore and the wo +rk +that he, Stan Friedman and Jamie Shandera have done with the MJ-12 material. +As +you may or may not know, ParaNet was the first informational system to "break +" +this story, at ParaNet and here on CIS. I understand that Moore was attemptin +g +to get in contact with you. Would you care to elaborate on this, and does it +have anything to do with your attempt to get Congress involved with the Mars +material and his same attempt in reference with the MJ-12 material? ga + +(Dick H.) First, the investigation into the Viking images has no DIRECT +connection with any UFO material, investigations, etc. I want to say that, so +that what I say next is very clear. Both, however, have at their root, a +POLITICAL problem. If NASA HAS done work on these images (in the theory that +we're not the only "smart" guys in town) then the ONLY way to find that out i +s +through the political process -- if it works. The UFO guys have had the same +problem. So, on the surface there is a similarity. The DIFFERENCE is this: w +e +can test the Mars data in the very near future BY SIMPLY GETTING NEW IMAGES O +F +MARS. There is no easy way to TEST the UFO hypothesis; the "data" doesn't +"stand still". Now, I'm impressed that the CHAIRMAN of the most powerful +committee, in terms of science, in the Congress invited us in HIMSELF -- no +"staff" etc. We had what Henry Kissinger would have called a "frank and open +discussion" of many issues. His reaction was (and I'm paraphrasing here, of +course): "Look, NASA's taken a _political_ position why are you here . . . fo +r a +_political_ solution." But, that solution is going to need the attention of +Americans who want to know what's there, if these political expressions of +interest are going to be followed through.ga + +(Georgia) We are not quite finished but the format is about to change there a +re +still 3 questions and after I end the formal session, each of you 3 send a ? +and +Ted will moderate there is a more manageable number here now. I want to thank +Richard!!! APPLAUSE!! + +% The conference has ended + Thank you for attending + +(Jim S.) ? + +(Ted) Let start the new que, who are waiting in the wings? ga + +(DON) !! +(MARTIN ARANT) ? +(mcorbin) ! +(Stan Tenen) ? + +(Ted) GA Jim + +(Jim S.) Thanks Ted, and yes, applause Dick. Is it just coincidence that your +Mars Mission is headquartered in a well-known UFO flap area? More to the poin +t, +is Danny Gordon in any way connected with your group? GA + +(Dick H.) Well, everyone I know, at one time or another has asked me that in +the +last year! I can assure you that UFO's are NOT why I'm here. But I have met +Danny Gordon on a number of occasions. And he strikes me as a serious reporte +r, +trying to fathom an unfathomable story.ga + +(Ted) Don is next ga + +(DON) Richard, lets get back to Moore. I believe you did not address the +question about Moore? Is he connected with you with the Mars material, or wa +s +this coincidence? ga + +(Dick H.) Don, I have also met Bill Moore -- at a coupe of conferences in LA, +I +believe. (So, I don't know where the idea came from that "he's trying to get +in +touch with me; he already has!") Anyway, I know all about his work, and can +assure you that it has no direct or indirect connection with our own. Let me +add +this, however. If this data we've been exploring on Mars is as robust as it h +as +now become to some of us, then it raises the obvious question: if someone cou +ld +find this solar system once (the operative "visitor to Mars" model that I +favor). Then why couldn't someone AGAIN. Especially, if the "face" is trying +to +tell us of some "link" with events beyond this planet. I think we should all +keep an open mind on that point.ga + +(Ted) Martin is next Don you are in line after Stan ga Martin + +(#MARTIN ARANT) on my interesting conversation with JPL ted, am I on? OK. Dic +k, +Great conference! I was #11 and was going to make a statement on my interesti +ng +conversation with the "gentleman" at JPL. Anyway, is Erol Torom on line? I a +m +interested in what else he has discovered. ga + +(Dick H.) Erol, do you want to get a word in here?ga + +(Ted) Ga Erol + +(Bert) ? + +(Ted) Maybe Erol will speak later + +(Dick H.) Let me answer Marty's question in another way. Marty called JPL som +e +weeks ago and got some very interesting responses to this investigation. +Particularly the idea that if we "keep this up, we're going to destroy the +planetary program, if not at least Mars Observer!" I kid you not... Anyway, l +ast +week, a reporter for the Wall St. Journal called up JPL and, asked to speak t +o +the Project Scientist for Mars Observer. I think his name is Alby, or +something. Anyway, Alby told the Wall St. Journal guy that "he didn't have an +y +objection to taking a few pictures of Cydonia if asked. Point: this represen +ts +a 180 degree reversal of field for NASA. And, I said in a note to the Journa +l +reporter: "Perhaps it's because there have been some calls from the guys on t +he +Hill in the last few days"ga + +(Ted) Ok Mike wanna continue? ga + +(mcorbin) Yield to Bert. Th-.,.HX6l. Good night. +{ +(Ted) Stan is next GA STAN + +(Stan Tenen) im still curious about 360 degrees and base 3 as far as I can se +e +360 base10 = 111100 base3 is this correct?ga + +(Ted) This seems to be a rather involve question to answer in this format. St +an, +earlier Dick gave an address where he can be reached. Could this question be +dealt with in that way? ga + +(Stan Tenen) yes + +(EROL TORUN) ? + +(Dick H.) perhaps I can answer Stan, without boring everyone else I come back +to +"how will we know it's real." That is THE question everyone would agree (I +hope!) I also feel that something said earlier this evening is right on track +: +we tend to get mesmerized by the images -- what "looks" familiar -- a "Face," +etc. And we lose sight of the science -- the epistemology -- that must under +pin +any "decision" on "reality." I believe, in answer to another question, that w +e +may have "crossed the Rubicon" on this one. The math is the key. How many "bi +g" +questions in science are decided by things we CANNOT see -- quarks black-hole +models .. AIDS viruses? If we have to recognize something in these images, +before we accept the "reality" of this, then we're rejecting at least two +hundred years of science! So, we come back to the numbers. Erol discovered a +specific set of numbers in one object, after trying to DISPROVE my contention +that this object was important. I extended those specific numbers to the whol +e +Complex and found THE SAME quantities, expressed repeatedly to ONE PART IN A +THOUSAND!!! The probability that these serial discoveries are chance is +calculable by the same mathematics used to calculate the odds of TWO engines +failing on a 737 in England and the results say we are NOT dealing with chanc +e: +it HAS to be Design to we believe the numbers . . .? Read the papers on the +Mars BBS -- (703) 228-7822 -- in a week or so. ga + +(Ted) Erol Torun is up. Go Ahead Erol GA + +(EROL TORUN) Am I getting through to you? + +(Ted) Yes. Just a reminder to those new to our CO. We operate under formal +rules. If you want to ask a question or make a comment type a "?" or a "!" a +nd +I will take down your name and put you in queue. I'll let you know when it is +your turn. GA Erol ( GA means Go Ahead and talk) GA + +(EROL TORUN) Great conference, dick. I agree with Dick's opinion that the fin +al +test of the reality of what we are looking at will be based on the presence o +f +regular geometry. To briefly summarize my work, I have found the three things +that one would look for in ANY remotely sensed imagery that might contain rui +ns +these are : + + 1 - Inconsistency with the local geology .. + 2 - The presence of regular geometry that is suggestive + of intelligent intervention + 3 - Meaningful context + + Dick was the first to emphasize the importance of context i.e. a face or +pyramid in isolation would make little sense GA + +(steve rivera) ? + +(Dick H.) Sorry, I missed a bit when something knocked me off line.ga + +(Stan Tenen) bye and be well all + +(Ted) Don is up GA + +(DON) Thanks Ted. Richard, Mars is all well and good, and it is possible that +something has in fact occurred there. Until such time as more photos are tak +en, +or a manned mission happens, we will not know. My question is this. Since th +e +first manned flights in the 60's, there have been many reports by our astrona +uts +of sightings of UFOs while in orbit, or while on the moon. Also, many +unexplained sightings of something on the moon have filtered back. In the mid +70's George Leonard wrote an excellent book titled "Somebody Else is on the +Moon". Have you read this. Or are you familiar with this as well as other wo +rks +about unusual occurrences that have been reported on the Moon? What is your +opinion that even know, something could be occurring? ga + +(Dick H.) First thing's first. My point (and Erol's) is simply this: we now +have enough repeatable, numerical data, to be able to make a very high +probability statement regarding the "reality" or "non-reality" of the Cydonia +Complex -- if we use the SAME RULES we routinely apply to other areas of +science. To most people, I realize, they'll have to "see" something they +recognize; but that's not "science," that's emotional response. So, let's ke +ep +in mind the work that we have covered + +(Ted) Dick, are you there? ga + +(DON) Ted, he got bumped. + +(Ted) Dick got dumped. Welcome back Dick. + +(Dick H.) Sorry, Don. Now, to the last part of your question + +[Don left the conference at this point] + +(Ted) Bert is next GA BERT + +(Dick H.) Oh + +(Bert) Go ahead and finish your thought Dick.ga + +(Ted) Ga Dick + +(Dick H.) I was going to answer Don's question...But. since he's left, let's +move on.ga + +(Ted) GA BERT +(Bert) With regard to the AP article mentioning that the Soviets had seen +something like a "15 mile strip" and a "spindle" shaped formation, have you o +r +any of your group attempted to contact them about what this might have been? +ga + +(Dick H.) Let's take a few interesting things in order. The Soviets have "kno +wn" +about these objects since AT LEAST 1984 -- when they published a provocative +piece in Soviet Life Mag titled" "Pyramids on Mars?" Now, O'Leary took them +the +enhanced photos in Jan, '88. They had at least a year and a half to plan how +to +take new images. Now, we have strange stories coming out of Radio Moscow +Stories of "strange, spindle-shaped objects and linear features that seem +rectilinear". If you put all of this together, you just MIGHT come up with th +e +idea that they have indeed taken some new images . . . and they are "leaking" +news to the West -just like they've done before. Look at the details of the +"spindle story": They claim it could be the "shadow of a spacecraft on the +surface". If their resolution is THAT good (do the calculation) then they hav +e +to have seen something interesting at Cydonia! ga + +(mcorbin) ! + +(Ted) Mike C is up GA Mike + +(mcorbin) I have three small questions/statements to make. First, does the US +have any frames of the areas that have been taken by the Soviets? Also, I wo +uld +to offer ParaNet's assistance to you in the efforts of getting information to +the public. We are prepared to be of service to you in any way that we possi +bly +can. And, finally, how near to the complex is this area that the Soviets are +interested in? + +(Dick H.) To your first question, yes the Soviets have brought some Phobos +images to Washington NASA HQ but I haven't seen them. They did show O'Leary s +ome +Phobos (the moon) photos in Tokyo. And he brought those back to Phoenix. We +were discussing them on the phone the other afternoon when he called trying t +o +get an idea of the resolution of the cameras (Something like the physicists +who've been trying to duplicate the cold fusion lab set-ups from wire photos! +) +Anyway, we don't know (because they haven't released coordinates) where the +Soviet "spindle" is located. So, does that answer your question?.ga + +(EROL TORUN) ? + +(Ted) GA Erol + +(mcorbin) Yes, one thing more on this. What is the resolution on the Soviet's +camera. Do you know? + +(Dick H.) For obvious reasons, we've been trying to get very specific info on +this. But it's been hard. We've tried published specs. We've tried "inside +sources" who are working with the Soviets (like Merton Davies, at RAND) and, +we've tried to estimate it, based on the photos they gave O'Leary last week. +It +all says that IF they wanted to really take new images of Cydonia they could +probably AT LEAST equal Viking and, if they put the spacecraft in an orbit +designed to get new pics specifically they could do better than Viking by may +be +a factor of 2 or 3 But we don't know!!!ga + +(EROL TORUN) ? + +(Ted) ga EROL + +(EROL TORUN) Dick, was the AP story more specific as to what the Soviets mean +t +by a "spindle shaped object" ? I'm thinking of the Viking photograph in +Monuments that shows a bizarre "bow-tie" shaped object in close proximity to +a +straight line with an East-West orientation perhaps the Soviets have reimaged +these objects GA + +(Dick H.) Shades of the Runway. I simply don't know, Erol. However, all our +speculating is not going to get real data. What we have done -- and you were +in +the meeting in Roe's office when he asked -- is to submit a specific "wish li +st" +to the Chairman of items that will move this Investigation along. And a DIRE +CT +CALL to the Soviets, asking to see any images they DID secure of Cydonia, is +on +that list and will be in the LIB 10, t'morrow, right Ted? ga + +(Ted) Should be there if all goes well. Any other ? GA + +(Ted) Ok, I want to thank Richard Hoagland for a VERY interesting and +informative evening. I hope that Dick will be back to join us soon (and +hopefully will be in the National Issues Forum) to join our discussions. Than +k +you Dick. GA + +(mcorbin) Thank you Dick. + +(Dick H.)

It prints information about seminars, research and whatnot, +along with spotlights on interesting professors and areas of study. + +In the most recent issue (July 24, 1992) a full page is devoted to John +Mack, an MD affiliated with Harvard who believes that aliens routinely + +abduct midwestern housewives and perform strange experiments on them. + +The article is extremely generous to Mack; in fact, it could scarcely +be more so. + +I would like to write a full response to the Gazette, and was wondering +if anybody reading this post could point me to relevant sources of +information about the 'abductions' and 'visitors' and so on. + +The article follows, in its entirety. + +-- + +Accounting for Stories of Alien Abduction +Psychiatrist John Mack shares his convictons [sic] that these reports are 'authentic and disturbing mysteries' + +By Deane W. Lord +Gazette Staff + + From Ancient Greece to the present, humankind has asked, Is there life +beyond planet Earth? And, if so, what form does it take? + Last month some 100 researchers and mental health professionals gathered +in Cambridge to explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life and to +examine and compare the experiences of abductees--men and women who claim to +have been kidnapped by alien beings, taken aboard spacecraft, and eventually +released. + The four-day closed meeting drew some of the most ardent and long-term +researchers who presented short papers on their work. Chief among them was +conference co-organizer Medical School Psychiatry Professor John Mack, who +became involved with the UFO question two and a half years ago. Though he +began as a total skeptic, he admitted, he now believes that the experiences +of abductees "are an extremely important phenomenon"-and that "we can't begin +to understand them without a shift in our world view." + He believes that mental dualism in the West--"we're here, you're +there"--will prevent many from being open minded about the possibility of +alien abductions. These experiences are shattering our world view [by +suggesting] that we may be connected with other beings beyond ourselves.... +The proposition attacks the arrogance of our ideas and makes a mockery of our technology. + Estimates vary as to how many individuals have had abduction experiences. +According to a Roper Organization poll, one out of every 50 American adults-- +some 3.7 million people indicate that they have had an encounter with an +unidentified flying object or an alien being. + "It is possible that hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people +in this country alone have undergone abduction experiences," said Mack. + Because of the stigma attached to revealing such experiences, he believes +many people remain underground, too ashamed or alarmed to admit the +experience. + "The more prominent the person, the more likely he or she will be +reluctant to come forward as they have more to lose," he said. "Often, once +they seek help, abductees prefer to be diagnosed as crazy." + A well-known psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Mack reports that of the 60 +cases he has worked on he has found, -to his surprise, that after a battery +of psychological tests, "no psychiatric or psychosocial explanation for these +reports is evident. These people are not mentally ill." He has spent +countless therapeutic hours with these individuals only to find that what +struck him was the "ordinariness" of the population, including a restaurant +owner, several secretaries, a prison guard, college students, a university +administrator, and several homemakers. + "The majority of abductees do not appear to be deluded, confabulating, +lying, self-dramatizing, or suffering from a clear mental illness," he +maintained. He has encountered only one person who showed psychotic features. +The central finding of most researchers, including Mack, is that there is +one archetypal abduction experience and that most abduction memories contain +very limited variations on a standard scenario. A typical encounter would +begin with uneasy feelings of foreboding, a fear-inducing appearance of small +alien beings, transport to a spacecraft, examination and other procedures +performed on a special table, various tests and tasks given, the introduction +of more favorable feelings toward the aliens, and finally a return to +pre-abduction activities and states of consciousness. + + For most of the abductees, the experience is fearful and many repress the +details. Often, hypnosis brings back the traumatic episode and helps the +abductee recover memories of the entire event, Mack and others have found. + "Particularly impressive to me has been the intense resistance and +disturbing affect, especially fear, as memories of traumatic abduction +experiences begin to emerge under hypnosis or through conscious recall," said +Mack. He and others find it hard to explain the marks left on some bodies +from red triangles on the chest to incisions on arms and legs. Several have +had implants in their ears and noses but, upon study, physicists and +biochemists find no unearthly material. + "Any adequate theory of alien abductions, even a useful hypothesis, must +account for a broad range of puzzling phenomena," said Mack. + In his inventory of occurrences, he includes narrative consistency. "The stories that abductees tell vary in their details, but they have a hard edge +of narrative consistency," he found. He dismisses the argument that abductees +influence one another and believes that "what more often happens is that when +abductees communicate with each other about their abductions or watch +television or film versions of abductions, they fill in details of what they +have already experienced and are trying to clarify." + Even though many abductions occur independent of UFO sightings, a close +association between UFO encounters and abduction experiences has been +consistently observed, noted Mack. + Mack believes a convincing theory must be found for the bizarre physical +effects, such as termination of pregnancy, sexual liaisons, incisions, and +implants that abductees report. + A way also must be found to account for the abduction reports of children +as young as 2. These are, Mack said, "emotionally intense and seemingly +authentic, detailed experiences [from young people] whose exposure to outside +sources of information has been limited." + The abduction phenomenon, said Mack, "confronts us with an authentic and +disturbing mystery. There is no way, I believe, that we can even make sense, +let alone provide a convincing explanation, of this matter within the +framework of our existing views of what is real or possible. Our +psychological theories do not include a way of accounting for the +simultaneous occurrence among thousands of people, unacquainted with each +other, including small children, of complex, elaborate, and sometimes +overwhelmingly powerful experiences that resemble one another in minute +detail, accompanied by equally peculiar physical phenomena." + Mack also thinks that the current understanding of physical reality +"whereby a population of beings from some other space/time realm can enter +our world with such limited detection and affect so many people" defies our +accepted notions of scientific reality. + Like others, Mack believes the phenomenon is worthy of more inquiry. "The +phenomenon may deliver to us a kind of fourth blow to our collective egoism, +following those of Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud. We may be led to realize +that we are not physically at the center of the universe, . . . we are not +even the preeminent or dominant intelligence in the cosmos in control of our +psychological and physical existences. + "It appears that we can be 'invaded' or taken over, if not literally by +other creatures, then by some other form of being or consciousness that seems +able to do with us what it will for a purpose we cannot yet fathom." + +Sidebar: + +Research on human lives, with purpose and idealism + + About three years ago, a colleague asked John Mack to meet writer Budd +Hopkins, the author of Intruders, a book recently made into a television +movie on the experiences of abductees. + Mack was highly skeptical; "there was no way I could understand the +phenomena," he recalled. But Mack did meet with Hopkins, and became fascinated by the stories he +heard. The conversation ultimately led Mack into abductee research; from 1990 +to January of this year, he interviewed 34 adults and children who claim to +have encountered aliens, and will write a book about the phenomenon. + His work with abductees impressed him "with the powerful dimension of +personal growth that accompanies the traumatic experiences. An intense +concern for the planet's survival and a powerful ecological consciousness +seem to develop for many abductees. For me and other investigators, abduction +research has had a shattering impact on our views of the nature of the +cosmos." + He is most proud of his work at Cambridge Hospital's psychiatry +department, which he founded in 1962. He won a 1977 Pulitzer Prize for his +biography of Lawrence of Arabia, A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T.E. +Lawrence (Little, Brown and Co.). He has also published extensively in the +areas of psychobiography and the psychosocial effects of the nuclear arms +race. + As an investigator of the psychology of the nuclear arms race, Mack, 62, +founded the Center for Psychology and Social Change, a Cambridge-based +research organization devoted to the psychosocial study of human violence, +conflict, and images of the enemy. The center has recently enlarged its focus +to include the preservation of the environment. + Mack received his M.D. from Harvard in 1955, and graduated from the +Boston Psychoanalytic Institute in 1967 and was certified as a child analyst +in 1969. He graduated from Oberlin College, phi beta kappa. + He has been a professor of psychiatry at the Cambridge Hospital, an +affiliate of the the Medical School [sic], since 1972 and was head of the +Department of Psychiatry there from 1973 to 1977. A faculty member of the +Boston Psychoanalytic Society, he is also currently president of the +International Society for Political Psychology. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

SPIESER ON COOP & LEAR FILE: UFO2329 + + + + + + LEAR AND COOPER: AN EXPLANATION + (But Not an Apology) + + Jim Speiser + 10/26/88 + + Ordinarily, I don't feel I have to explain my actions regarding this + board or this network. I think I've developed a pretty good reputa- + tion for reliability and fairness. I certainly owe nothing in the + way of an explanation to Messrs. Cooper and Lear. However, I can see + where some confusion may have arisen regarding my actions, especial- + ly on the part of Don Ecker, whom I have a great deal of respect + for, and on the part of other users who have discreetly inquired as + to my reasons. + + These things always seem to come best in the form of chronologies, + and so, a brief chronology follows. + + Bill Cooper first contacted this board with a story of a sighting he + had on board a submarine in 1966. The story (TIRU-1.UFO) was forward- + ed to Vickie Cooper for inclusion in a possible story in UFO Maga- + zine. It was also sent to Stan Friedman for verification. This was + back in August. + + I learned from Vickie Cooper that Bill (no relation) had had a con- + versation with her in which the Majestic-12 documents had come up. + When she mentioned the "proword" "MAJIC", he claimed to have seen + that word on several documents back in his days with CINCPACFLT + (Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet). About a week later, I received + the first of many files from Cooper, in which he implied that he had + firsthand contact with or knowledge of individuals connected with MJ- + 12. (see GUIDANCE.DOC). He further implied that anyone possessing + this knowledge was in great danger. I forwarded this file to both + Stanton Friedman and Jamie Shandera, to see whether any of the in- + formation in it checked out. I later found out that it did not. + + In the meantime, Cooper took a more active role in the public mes- + sage base. He claimed publicly that he had lost his $75,000/year job + as a marketing director, two days after having spoken with Stan + Friedman. He stated that he would not be providing any more info for + this reason. In the meantime, several more documents written by + Cooper filtered through the ParaNet system, by way of our Ft. Smith + board. They were uploaded anonymously, but were written by Cooper. + They each contained the same preamble, which claimed that the info + was for myself and for Stanton Friedman only, and that we were in + great danger for possessing the info contained therein. (DANGER.DOC, + MUGGER.DOC, PICNIC2.DOC). + + At around this time, a user named Jeff Felix began using the board, + and asked via chat for a private meeting between him and myself. We + set up a meet at the Jerry's on Scottsdale Road in Tempe (the same + one at which the Phoenix Skeptics hold their monthly meetings.) At + this meeting, Felix, who is all of about 24, told a bizarre tale of + having been an NSA cryptology technician, of having been "fooling + around" on the NSA computer, trying to come up with an encryption + program, and had "stumbled across" the Majestic file, the Aquarius + file, the whole ball of wax. "Its all true," he told us, "the under- + ground bases, the aliens, the crashed saucers, etc." He claimed that + with a modified modem, he could get back in to the files. Naturally, + + I was extremely skeptical, and a few days later when I asked Felix a + few questions on the phone, testing his knowledge of the most basic + intelligence terminology, I became flat-out incredulous when he + failed the test. What was even more revealing was that Bill Cooper + had provided me with some of the questions I asked Felix, and I have + a captured chat session with Cooper in which he expressed his doubts + of Felix's veracity. + + In my last online chat with Felix, he mentioned something called + Project X-calibur (his spelling). He said he had discussed it with + Cooper on the phone before he had called me. Cooper later told me + that no, Felix had not mentioned it. He told me he had heard of it, + but that it was VERY Top Secret, above his level. He said he didn't + know anything more about it. + + Much to my surprise, Cooper later called to tell me that Project + Excalibur is real, that his sources told him it was a project by MJ- + 12 to extract technology from the aliens. He told me that it was + important I get in touch with Felix, that if "the kid knows about + [Excalibur], he's for real." Felix, in the meantime, would give me + no information about Excalibur, except that a friend of his who had + done the same thing he had (broken into the NSA's Cray-3 computer, + the most advanced and secure supercomputer in the world), had "stum- + bled across" the Excalibur file. + + My thinking on Cooper and Felix at this time began to center on the + thought that the two of them were scamming me behind my back, and I + had visions of having ParaNet become a home for unwed paranoids. + When John LEar returned from his long absence, and began to join + with Cooper in a series of mutual admiration sessions, I saw things + getting out of control. + + I knew by now that Cooper was either engaging in fantasy role-play- + ing, or something more sinister. The word "disinformation" has been + bandied about quite freely during this entire MJ-12 mess. Now, + please consider: Cooper's credentials as a Naval NCO with a back- + ground in intelligence seem to check out. His information is self- + contradicting and paranoid, and does NOT check out, at least with + the several intelligence sources I have contacted. After the UFO + COVER-UP broadcast, Cooper sent ANOTHER file by way of ParaNet RHO + in BOISE, called his 10-15-88 Position Paper. In it he completely + contradicts his entire previous thesis, and claims that the MJ-12 + scenario as painted by Moore's group (and implicitly, by himself) is + a hoax. Further, he claims to be in full agreement with John Lear + (which agreement seems to be mutual, based on Lear's support of + Cooper). Now I ask you, if agents of disinformation are at work to + discredit the field of Ufology, who is the more likely suspect? + Moore/Shandera/Friedman, who claimed from the beginning to have + videotapes of bona fide government agents, and produced them for + live TV, or Cooper/Lear, who seemingly plagiarized the Moore docu- + ments, gave them a slightly different spin, then turned around and + contradicted themselves the moment it became public knowledge, and + can't even seem to agree with each other, yet support each other + publicly? My locking out of Cooper was actually on the advice of + Cooper himself, who accused William Pitts and the New Project Blue + Book of being a military intelligence cover operation, and ParaNet + of being an unwitting disinformation pipeline. To avoid becoming + such a pipeline, which I'm sure no one here wants, I simply got rid + of the most likely suspect. + + + + + As to Lear, I don't think any self-respecting Sysop would stand for + being accused of borderline treason on his public board, especially + from a man who proudly displays in his office enlarged telephoto- + graphs of the installation at Groom Lake, the country's most secret + tactical aircraft development area, obtained by himself after at- + tempting to enter the area illegally. His unqualified support for + Cooper, which seems to be based solely on Cooper's unqualified + support for him, I found distasteful and somehow disturbing, in + light of the fact that Cooper has contradicted Lear's information. + And consider: John Lear entered Ufology in early 1987, when it be- + came known to a few that Moore was going to release MJ-12. Lear is + known to have been a CIA operative in the past. He wears his patriot- + ism on his office walls, in the form of autographed pictures of him- + self standing with G. Gordon Liddy. Again, if disinformation is + taking place, I ask you, who is the more likely source? + + And is it working? Well, consider. What if Moore/Shandera/Friedman + DO have the real goods? If so, isn't it a shame that so many + intelligent people, people such as Don Ecker, watched UFO COVER-UP + LIVE, and instead of asking if MSF were for real, began asking if + Lear and Cooper were for real?

H +e is a practicing attorney and has contributed articles to the MUFON UFO Journal. Again, his views as presented here do not necessarily refl +ect those of ParaNet. -------------------------------------------------------------- In a recent series of uploads provided to Freen +et by Dale Wedge and Jim Speiser of Paranet, a December 29, 1987 statement by John Lear was quoted. Mr Lear is a reputable and apparently h +ighly qualified airline pilot with impressive credentials. Every so often one finds something in UFOlogy which is simply staggering in its +implications but valueless without supporting evidence and therefore, "hard to swallow." Although he should be admired for his courage in p +resenting this information (obtained from various "sources") without hard objective evidence, Mr. Lear's statement can only be regarded as i +nteresting reading without evidentiary support. In short, he sets a nice table but leaves us waiting for dinner. Were it not for his crede +ntials and Paranet's assurance of his "numerous contacts in sensitive positions," the otherwise outlandish claims he makes could be dismisse +d as entertaining fiction. However, Mr. Lear's character and reputation require that greater consideration be given to his statement. + In summary, Mr. Lear contends that our governmewnt has for over 40 years been concealing from the public a "horrible truth" concerning an + "invasion" of Earth by EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). He alleges that the U.S government has conducted "business with little + gray extraterrestrials for about 20 years," i.e. we were "sold" by MJ-12 to the aliens in exchange for technology and to preserve our democ +racy. He contends that our government agreed to ignore human/cattle abductions and mutilations, but that the deeply sinister purposes of th +ese activities were not completely understood by MJ-12 until about 1984. Without explaning the EBE's reason(s) to do business with t +he most powerful nation on Earth when they could covertly continue their activities in the Third World without concern, or why these advance +d and powerful aliens would even want or require our "agreement" to continue their activities, Mr. Lear maintains that the purposes of the a +bductions are: (1) The insertion of a 3mm spherical device through the nasal cavity of the abductee into the brain. + The device is used for the biological monitoring, tracking, and control of the abductee. (2) Implementation of P +osthypnotic Suggestion to carry out a specific activity during a specific time period, tha actuation of which will + occur within the next 2 to 5 years. (3) Termination of some people so that they could function as living s +ources for biological material and substances. (Why not cadavers?) (4) Termination of individuals who present a threat + to the continuation of their activity. (5) Effect genetic engineering experiments. (6) Impregnation of human fema +les and early termination of pregnancies to secure the cross- breed infant. He cites the history of UFOlogy + in the 40's and 50's, contending that several crashed saucers and at least 3 live aliens have been captured and hidden by the government. +But would such a powerful adversary permit humans to hold, study and possibly copy crashed saucers or permit us to keep captured aliens, or +would they simply take them back? The EBEs are said to suffer from an atrophied digestive system which requires that they sustain th +emselves by absorbing through the skin a solution made from certain enzyme/hormonal secretions derived from cattle and humans and collected +by ghoulish cattle and human mutilations. The various body parts said to be obtained in this manner are then supposed to be taken for proce +ssing to various hidden laboratories jointly maintained by the aliens and CIA in the Southwestern U.S. Although this description of the ali +en's atrophied digestive tract agrees with alleged autopsies of dead aliens (reported by Stringfield, et al). It is difficult to accept tha +t in at least 2000 years of genetic engineeering on cattle and humans, the aliens have not collected enough material to maintain their own " +livestock" and feed themselves without CIA cooperation. Mr. Lear maintains that a 20 year plan for release of UFO information to the + public (including the history and intentions of the EBE's) to be completed by 1987-88, was terminated when the "horrible truth" became appa +rent. Indeed, during the first year of the Carter Administration, various media sources, including Walter Cronkite on the "CBS Evening News +" and " U.S. News and World Report," reported that before the end of that year the administration was to release UFO information of a "start +ling" nature. The information was never released. He contends that "Star Wars" is in reality a defensive response to the EBEs, not Soviet +nuclear missiles, but does not explain why the EBEs permit us to continue with SDI studies that pose a threat to them. Among the man +y manipulations of human history said to be perpetrated by the aliens, they maintain that Jesus was their creation and that his crucifixion +has been recorded in an alien holographic videotape. There are also said to be other recordings by humans, including an interview of an ali +en which is translated by an Air Force Colonel and other tapes said to be held by UFO investigator William Moore. It is difficult to unders +tand why such a superior race, capable of manipulating human civilization for a minimum of 2000 years, would wait to subjegate the planet fo +r that same period. At the time of Christ, our most advanced missle system was the "sling-shot." We are now capable of nuclear "suicide." + Insane as that would be, their food supply would go up with us. Further evidence should be interesting and will be anxiously awaite +d. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Participation in the illegal + drug trade was justified in that it would identify and eliminate + the weak elements of our society. The purpose of project GRUDGE + was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and + intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and contacts with + alien life forms. This orderly file of collected information has + been used to advance the United States Space Program. + + "MJ-12" is the name of the secret control group. President Dwight + D. Eisenhower commissioned a secret society known as THE JASON + SOCIETY (JASON SCHOLARS) to sift through all the facts, evidence, + technology, lies and deception and find the truth of the alien + question. The society was made up of 32 of the most prominent + men in the country in 1972 and the top 12 members were designated + MJ-12. MJ-12 has total control of everything. They are designated + by the code J-1, J-2, J-3, etc. all the way through the members of the + JASON SOCIETY. The director of the CIA was appointed J-1 and is the + Director of MJ-12. MJ-12 is responsible only to the President. + + + Page:3 + + + + MJ-12 runs most of the world's illegal drug trade. This was done to + hide funding and thus keep the secret from the Congress and the + people of the United States. It was justified in that it would + identify and eliminate the weak elements of our society. The cost + of funding the alien connected projects is higher than anything + you can imagine. MJ-12 assassinated President Kennedy when he + informed them that he was going to tell the public all the facts of + the alien presence. He was killed by the Secret Service agent driving + his car and it is plainly visible in the film held from public + view. A secret meeting place was constructed for MJ-12 in MARYLAND and + it is described as being accessible only by air. It contains + full living, recreational and other facilities for MJ-12 and the + JASON SOCIETY. It is code-named "THE COUNTRY CLUB". Only those persons + with a TOP SECRET/MAJIC security clearance are allowed to go there. + + "MAJI" is the MAJORITY AGENCY FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE. All infor- + mation, disinformation, and intelligence is gathered and evaluated by + this agency . This agency is responsible for all disinformation + and operates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA, and the Defense + Intelligence Agency. This is a very powerful organization and + all alien projects are under its control. MAJI is responsible only to + MJ-12. + + "SIGMA" is the project which first established communications + with the aliens and is still responsible for communications. + + "PLATO" is the project responsible for Diplomatic relations + with the aliens. This project secured a formal treaty (illegal + under the Constitution) with the aliens. The terms were that the + aliens would give us technology. In return "we" agreed to keep + their presence on earth a secret, not to interfere in any way with + their actions, and to allow them to abduct humans and animals. + The aliens agreed to furnish MJ-12 with a list of abductees on a + periodic basis. + + "MAJIC" is the security classification and clearance of all + alien-connected material, projects and information. "MAJIC" means MAJI + Controlled. + + "AQUARIUS" is a project which compiled the history of alien + presence and their interaction with Homo Sapiens upon this + planet for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque + people who live in the mountainous country on the border of France, + Spain and the Syrians. + + "GARNET" is the project responsible for control of all infor- + mation and documents regarding this subject and accountability of the + information and these documents. + + "PLUTO" is a project to evaluate all UFO/IAC information + pertaining to space technology. + + "POUNCE" is the project formed to recover all downed/crashed + craft and aliens. + + + Page:4 + + + + + "REDLIGHT" is the project to test-fly recovered alien craft. + It is conducted at AREA 51 (DREAMLAND) in Nevada. It was aided when + the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly them. The initial pro- + ject was somewhat successful in that we flew a recovered craft but it + blew up in the air and the pilots were killed. The project was sus- + pended at that time until the aliens agreed to help us. + + "SNOWBIRD" was established as a cover for project REDLIGHT. + Several flying saucer-type craft were built using conventional + technology. They were unveiled to the press and flown in front of + the press. The purpose was to explain accidental sightings or + disclosure of REDLIGHT as having been the SNOWBIRD craft. + + "LUNA" is the alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was + seen and filmed by the Apollo Astronauts. A base, a mining operation + using very large machines and the very large alien craft + which have been described in various sighting reports as "MOTHER + SHIPS" are based there. + + "NRO" is the National Reconnaissance Organization based + at Fort Carson, Colorado. It is responsible for security for + all alien or alien craft connected projects. + + "DELTA" is the designation for the specific arm of the NRO + which is especially trained and tasked with security of these + projects. [The so-called "Delta Force" has been labelled by the + government [in media reports] as an anti-terrorist special combat + unit. It apparently has other, covert responsibilities. This would + also seem to tie in all too neatly with the "contingency plans" listed + below. =CSW.] + + "JOSHUA" is a project to develop a low frequency pulsed + sound generating weapon. It was said that this weapon + would be effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. + [NOTE: It is known that a special experimental project was + launched some years ago under the auspices of the US Navy to + investigate a special low frequency, pulsed sound and radio + wave system. The antennae for such a system consisted of buried + cables that extended radially for several hundred miles in all + directions from the generator site. The listed purpose of these + experiments was to develop a system of communications that could be + used with our submarines world-wide that could neither be detected by + anyone not having this specific equipment nor jammed by any + conventional source known to current technology. This may or may not + have been a "cover story". It is equally interesting to note that + while this "national secret" was being printed in certain "popular" + monthly mechanical and science magazines, articles appeared in several + of the more serious scientific journals concerning experiments with a + sound-wave generating weapon that operates in the 4 to 13 Hertz range + that could be fatal to "enemy troops"...perhaps reducing them, quite + literally, to a mass of quivering jelly. =CSW.] + + "EXCALIBUR" is a weapon to destroy the alien underground bases. + + + Page:5 + + + + It is to be a missile capable of penetrating 1000 meters of Tufa + or hard-packed soil such as that found in New Mexico with no opera- + tional damage. Missile apogee not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL and + impact must not deviate in excess of 50 meters from designated + target. The device will carry a 1 megaton nuclear warhead. + + "ALIENS": There were 4 types of aliens mentioned in the papers. + A LARGE-NOSED GREY, with whom "we" have the treaty, the GREY + reported in abductee cases that works for the LARGE-NOSED GREY, + a blond human like type described as the NORDIC and a red-haired, + human-like type called the ORANGE. The home planets of the + aliens are described as being a star in the Constellation of + Orion, Barnards star, and Zeta Riticuli 1&2. I cannot remember even + under hypnosis which aliens belong to which star. + + "EBE" is the name or designation given to the live alien + captured at the 1949 Roswell crash. He died in captivity. + + "KRLL" OR "KRLLL" OR "CRLL" OR "CRLLL" pronounced Crill or + Krill was the hostage left with us at the first Holloman landing + as a pledge that the aliens would carry out their part of the + basic agreement reached during that meeting. KRLL gave us the + foundation of the yellow book which was completed by the guests at a + later date. KRLL became sick and was nursed by Dr. G. Mendoza, who + became the expert on alien biology and medicine. KRLL later died. His + information was disseminated under the pseudonym O.H. Cril or Crill. + + "GUESTS" were aliens exchanged for humans who gave us the balance + of the yellow book. At the time I saw the information there were only + 3 left alive. They were called (ALF's) Alien Life Forms. + + RELIGION: The aliens claim to have created Homo Sapiens + through hybridization. The papers said that RH Negative blood was + proof of this. They further claimed to have created all of our + major religions. The showed a hologram of the crucifixion of + Christ which the Government filmed. They claim that JESUS, the + CHRIST, was created by them. + + ALIEN BASES exist in the four corners area of Utah, Colorado, + New Mexico, and Nevada. Six bases were described in the 1972 + papers, all on Indian reservations and all in the four corners area. + The base near Dulce was one of them. + + MURDER: The documents stated that many military and + government personnel had been terminated (murdered; executed without + due process of law) when they had attempted to reveal the secret of + the aliens, the JASON SOCIETY and MJ-12. [NOTE: Any adult human being + who lives in today's society and who still does not believe that "Our + Government" would commit cold-blooded murder in order to preserve + their idea of an acceptable "status quo"....that person should be + placed in a secured, well-padded cell and not allowed to play with + pointed or sharp objects. He/she is both intellectually and morally + Brain Dead. As an example, does any sane person really believe that + Karen Silkwood died in an auto "accident" ? =CSW] + + + Page:6 + + + + + CRAFT RECOVERIES: The documents stated that many craft had + been recovered. The early ones from Roswell, Aztec, Roswell + again, Texas, Mexico, and other places. + + GENERAL DOOLITTLE made a prediction that one day we would + have to reckon with the aliens and the document stated that it + appeared that General Doolittle was correct. + + ABDUCTIONS were occurring long before 1972. The document stated + that humans and animals were being abducted and/or mutilated. + Many vanished without a trace. They were taking sperm and ova + samples, tissue, performed surgical operations, implanted a + spherical device 40 to 80 microns in size near the optic nerve + in the brain and all attempts to remove it resulted in the death of + the patient. The document estimated that 1 in every 40 people had + been implanted. This implant was said to give the aliens total + control of that human. + + CONTINGENCY PLAN SHOULD THE INFORMATION BECOME PUBLIC OR + SHOULD THE ALIENS ATTEMPT TAKEOVER: This plan called for a public + announcement that a terrorist group had entered the United States + with an Atomic weapon. It would be announced that the terrorists + planned to detonate the weapon in a major city. Martial Law would + be declared and all persons with implants would be rounded up + along with all dissidents and would be placed into concentration + camps. The press, radio, and TV would be nationalized and controlled. + Anyone attempting to resist would be arrested and/or killed. + + CONTINGENCY PLAN TO CONTAIN OR DELAY RELEASE OF INFORMATION: This + plan called for the use of MAJESTIC TWELVE as a disinformation ploy + to delay and confuse the release of information should + anyone get close to the truth. It [the name, "MAJESTIC TWELVE"] was + selected because of the similarity of spelling and the similarity to + MJ-12. It was designed to confuse memory and to result in a fruitless + search for material which did not exist. + + SOURCE OF MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS WHICH I SAW: The + source of the material was an ONI Counter-Intelligence operation + against MJ-12 in order for the Navy to find out the truth of what was + really going on. The Navy (at that time or at least the Navy + that I worked for) was not a participant in any of this. The + different services and the government conduct this type of + operation against each other all the time. The result of this + operation was that the Navy cut themselves in for a piece of the + action (technology) and control of some projects. + + + + As you can see, this file is only a little different from my + previous file. Only some names were scrambled previously to confuse + the government long enough for someone to verify that what I have + said is the truth. I have added information in this file that puts + my life in absolute danger. I have sent a copy of this file to + + + Page:7 + + + + people all over the country and will continue to do so. Please get + this file into as many hands as you can and maybe that will protect me + but I doubt it. + + HISTORY WILL BE THE JUDGE OF ME AND THIS INFORMATION AND I + HAVE NO FEAR OF THAT JUDGEMENT. I SWEAR THAT THIS INFORMATION IS + TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. + + I wish to thank all those people who have aided me in reaching + this point and for their patience and understanding. I owe you all + more than I can ever repay. + + Finally, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong or + if a project name is in the wrong place. It does not matter who is + working for who or what is really what. It should be obvious by + now that something sinister and terribly wrong is going on + involving the government and the UFO phenomenon. We must all band + together and expose it now. I have done my part in the best manner + that I could. I can add nothing else except my testimony in + Congress or a court of law that what I saw and have written in this + file is true and that I saw it. + + Everything in my previous file that does not conflict with this + file is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and some of + it is from sources and research. You may combine the files + to get the entire picture. Throw out only that information + which conflicts with that contained in this file. + + There will be no further additions or corrections to this + information either now or in the future.

Speaking was Mr. Milton William Cooper with whom I first +became acquainted through a text file I downloaded from a local +computer BBS. The file dealt with the subject of UFO's and our +government's concealment of the truth about them in such a way that +it made a lasting impression on me, which is why I attended his +lecture; to learn more. Please forgive my probable misspelling of +some of the proper names in the transcript which follows and allow +that I have taken it as best I could, word-for-word, from a less than +acceptable micro-cassette recording. If you are as moved by what you +are about to read as I was in hearing it first-hand, I ask that you +please spread it as far and wide as possible. Upload it to every BBS +in your reach and please, don't change anything. Also, please give +considerable thought to Mr. Cooper's suggestions as to what we all +can do to see that this information is confirmed by our government to +make them stop what they are up to. + + Thank you, and now, Milton Cooper: + + + "For those of you who don't know who I am, I was raised in +a military family. My family, my ancestors, since they came +to this country, have been government people. We have served in the +military, we have been patriots, we have fought in all the wars, we +care about this country and believe in the constitution of the United +States. We know, as many people don't know, that the Constitution of +the United States of America IS the United States of America ! And +that's why we've always been ready ...to do the things needed ...to +preserve and protect it. + + When I left home I went into the Air Force, the Strategic Air +Command. As a child I'd heard stories from my father and pilots, +other pilots, my father was a pilot, about Foo Fighters, UFO's, +strange craft that were not made on this Earth. And as a kid, you +hear that in passing, and it's neat, and you giggle about it, and +you go out and play `Space Man', and you forget it. + + When I was in the Air Force I met men who had participated in +alien crashed-craft recoveries. Now this intrigued me; it interested +me, but it was usually after quite a few bottles of beer that these +stories would come out, and sometimes the next morning I couldn't +remember what the heck the guy said. + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 2 + + + When I left the Air Force I went into the Navy, and this +is where everything began to happen for me. I had originally +intended to just go from service to service and do something that +very few people have ever done before. I was a very adventurous, very +crazy ...young man, and I thought that that would be a pretty +exciting life. I volunteered for submarines, and while on the +submarine, U.S.S. Tyroot, SS-416, on a transit between the +Portland/Seattle area and Pearl Harbor, which was our home port; the +Pearl Harbor sub base, as the port lookout I saw a craft, saucer- +shaped, the size of a Midway class carrier, aircraft carrier, for +those of you who don't know how big that is; it's huge, come up out +of the water approximately 2 1/2 nautical miles off the port bow, +which is about 45 degrees to the left of the pointy end of the +submarine. It tumbled slowly on its own axis, and went up into the +clouds. It appeared to be moving slowly to me at a distance of 2 1/2 +nautical miles but, in reality it was moving pretty fast because it +came up out of the water, did a few tumbles and it was gone ! + + I then reported it to the officer of the deck. I didn't tell +him what it was that I saw because my Daddy didn't raise no fools and +in case nobody else saw it I didn't want to be the only looney +onboard the ship. So I asked the officer of the deck to help me cover +that area, and he did, which is common for officers and lookouts to +help each other while on bridge watch because they all hang together +if something bad happens. After a few seconds of watching, the same +craft, or another craft exactly like it, came down out of the clouds, +tumbled again on its own axis, and went into the water. Ensign Ball, +who was the officer of the deck, was literally shocked! What could I +say? Seaman Dejeralimo, who was the starboard lookout, had also +witnessed this, and ensign Ball called the captain to the bridge who +was followed by the chief quartermaster who brought a 35mm camera, +and we watched for between 7 and 10 minutes the same craft, or +different craft that looked exactly alike, enter and leave the water. +It was an incredible show. I don't know if they knew we were there, +or if they even cared, but the craft did not glow, they were metal, +they were machines without a doubt, they were obviously +intelligently guided, they were HUGE, and having been in the Air +Force and the Navy and knowing what it takes, I knew without a doubt, +and know it today, that that machine was not made on the face of this +Earth. Because there's nothing that man can make, that can fly +through the air at a speed like that, tumble on its own axis, and +enter the water and effectively fly beneath the sea. + + If you've ever been aboard an airplane and then gone aboard a +submarine.....I know there's probably some of you in this room who +have visited a submarine at one time or another.....you can readily +see just.....without even any of the technicalities involved.....how +difficult such a thing would be to do. Where would it be built that +size ? It was absolutely incredible. It changed my life because then +all the stories that I'd heard all my life I knew were true, and I +began seeing the world in a different light. + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 3 + + It wasn't long after that I was trained by Naval security in +intelligence. I was sent to Viet Nam. I was assigned as a patrol +boat captain, first in DaNang harbor, given a crew and a multi- +million dollar patrol boat. My job was to gather intelligence from +the people who lived around the harbor and the fishermen who +transited the harbor, and maintain the safety and security of the +harbor and the shipping. After about 5 months I was sent up North to +the DMZ, to a place called Qua Vieaf [sp], on the Tacan [sp] river. +Our base camp was at the river mouth. We were only 3 miles South +of the North Vietnamese border and our job was to patrol the Tacan +river from the river mouth to Dong Ha, and then up the Quang Tri +cutoff to Quang Tri city, again to get to know the people on the +bank, gather intelligence, and to patrol every night and maintain the +safety and security of the river and the river traffic. + + It was while there that I discovered that there was a tremendous +amount of UFO and alien activity in Viet Nam. It was always +reported in official messages as `enemy helicopters.' Now any of +you who know anything about the Viet Nam war know that the North +Vietnamese did not have any helicopters.....especially after our +first couple of air raids into North Viet Nam. Even if they had +they would not have been so foolish as to bring them over the DMZ +because that would have insured their demise. Our troops were fired +on occasionally by these `enemy helicopters'; enemy troops were fired +on occasionally by these `enemy helicopters,' and occasionally people +would disappear. And on one instance that I know for sure at least +one entire village disappeared one night due to alien activity. The +reason they used the term `enemy helicopters' in messages and +dispatches was that in Viet Nam you could be overrun at any time, +no matter where you were. We did not bring crypto encoding equipment +into Viet Nam. I'm talking about the machinery. What we did is we had +crypto tables, and once every 24-hours those codes would be no good. +So that's what we used. Also, because of the inability to use crypto +transmitting equipment, we had to devise code words such as `enemy +helicopters.' + + When I left Viet Nam I was eventually attached to the +headquarters staff of the Commander in Chief of the United States +Pacific Fleet at Macalappa, [sp] Hawaii, which is a little hill +overlooking Pearl Harbor. It's a beautiful white building up there, +and I was specifically attached to the Intelligence Briefing Team of +the Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet. + + It was during this tour of duty that, in the course of my +duties, documents were placed in my hands that were so unbelievable +and so incredible that it took me quite a while to adjust to the fact +that what I was seeing was real. Now for those of you who don't +understand how I could come to see this information let me give you a +little short course in security clearance and "the need to know" and +how you get to see classified information if you're in the military +or in the government, it doesn't matter which, the rules are the +same. + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 4 + + Number One: you need a security clearance, and you've got to +have clearance at the level that the information you want to see is +classified at. In this instance it was classified `Top Secret, Magic, +Restricted Information,' which I came to find out later is the +highest security classification in the nation. To get that type of +clearance, all you have to have is a Federal Bureau of Investigation +background check, which takes about six months and they send federal +agents to your home, to your old schools, to all your teachers, to +your friends, to everybody you put down on your security clearance +forms, to all your old addresses, your neighbors, everybody that +you've worked for, and it's embarrassing because they don't tell them +what they're checking on. They just show them their identification +and start asking questions and that's when you find out who's your +friend and who's not, because a lot of people get scared and think, +`Bill must've just robbed a bank and I'm not talkin' to him anymore.' + + Now once you get that, it's called a `B.I.' and for those of you +who have received a copy of my service record, look on the first +page, the DD Form 214 where it says `Security Clearance,' you will +see the term `B.I.' That's a `Bureau of Investigation' clearance. +[Note: The author of this piece apparently does not know that "B.I." +stands for "Background Investigation". CSW] Now at that point, you +have the clearance for everything including Top Secret and above. +What determines what you get to see is `your need to know', and +the job that you have determines what your need to know is. + + I was assigned to the Intelligence Briefing Team of the +Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, who had to +know everything concerning his area of operations which was one-half +of the Earth's surface; the Indian ocean, the Pacific ocean, and all +the land masses in between. Believe it or not, if we ever go to war, +it's the United States Navy that strikes the first blow and attempts +to keep the enemy at bay while we can get ourselves together, at +least historically. Nuclear weapons have kind of done away with that +concept, but military commanders like to talk about it anyway. + + Because of this, you have no conception of the amount of +material and information that an area commander has to know. It's +unbelievable, and he has to keep track of this, he has to keep on top +of it. He has to know what's happening, he has to make the right +decisions. Because it's almost humanly impossible for anyone to do +that, they have what's called a briefing team, and it's our job to +make sure that he has the correct information, all the time, on a 24- +hour basis. And every morning, between 8 and 9 AM, we would give a +briefing which covered everything that happened in the previous 24 +hours, and everything scheduled to happen in the next 24 hours, and +all the pertinent intelligence reports that we had received since the +last briefing that he needed to know and that his staff members +needed to know. Occasionally we would get messages marked `Top +Secret, Magic, Restricted Information,' and it would be coded in such +a way that all you had were answers to questions which you didn't now +what the questions were so you really didn't know what the message +was all about. + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 5 + + But eventually I found myself in possession, holding two +documents; one called `Project Grudge,' another one called `Operation +Majority.' Project Grudge contained the history of alien involvement +since around 1936, and it began talking about Germany's involvement +with a crashed disk that they had recovered in 1936 and were +attempting to duplicate the technology. They were not successful +despite what all these Nazi hunters want to tell you. If they had +been successful, we would not have won the war, because you cannot +beat those weapons ! You cannot out-fly those craft ! You can't even +think about it with conventional aircraft. If Germany had been +successful, we would now have a German flag up in front of this +podium. + + They did make some headway. When we went into Penemunde, we +captured documents, we got some scientists [and] we got some +hardware. The Russians also got some documents, some scientists and +some hardware. It wasn't until 1947 that we were able to capture a +craft, a whole craft, not all together but it was everything. That +occurred near the city of Roswell, New Mexico. There were dead aliens +recovered from the craft. In Project Grudge I saw photographs of +these dead aliens [and] of the craft. I saw photographs of live +aliens. I saw photographs of autopsies.....of internal organs, I saw +photographs of the alien designated `E.B.'[or Ebe] who was held in +captivity from 1949 until June the 2nd, 1952 when he died. I saw the +history of what they had been able to put together [at that time], +from incidents in the 1800's which involved aliens and their craft. + + I saw the names of projects. I saw a project that was to fly +recovered alien craft that had been recovered intact and undamaged, +and some of them were recovered intact and undamaged, and how that +happened I have no idea. It was called `Project Redlight,' and was +first conducted from the Tonopah Test Range in the Nevada Test Site +and then was moved to a specially built area, ordered built by +President Eisenhower, called `Area-51,' code named `Dreamland,' in +the Groom [sp] dry lake area of the Nevada Test Site, by secret +executive order. It doesn't exist officially. If you ask anyone, or +if you write letters to the government, they will tell you it doesn't +exist. However, if you go out there at several places and see it, fly +outside the boundaries and look down and see it, you know it's there, +but according to the government it doesn't exist. + + The project to test fly these craft was ongoing until +sometime in 1962 when a craft blew up not far from the test +sight, in the air, and the explosion was seen over a three-state +area. The pilots were killed. They [the government] had no idea what +had happened or why the craft blew up, but they put Project Redlight +on hold until a later date when the aliens supplied us with 3 craft +and personnel to help us learn how to fly them craft. That project is +ongoing [now] and we now have not only alien craft that we are +flying, we have craft we have built, using the captured technology, +and some of the UFO's that people report seeing in the United States, +and maybe even elsewhere, are flown by United States personnel. + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 6 + + That may come as a shock to you. We have technology 'way beyond +the limits of what we have been told. A lot of our development +technologically since the end of World War II has been due to the +exchange of technology which occurs in the area called `Area-51' on +a regular basis ...ongoing. + + When James Oberth [Professor Oberth] retired, many of you don't +know who he is.....not too many space people in here. Professor +Oberth was probably one of the greatest rocket scientists and space +commentists that ever lived. When he retired, the government gave him +a special award. There was a press conference, all kinds of ceremony, +and when he got up to speak he said, `Gentlemen,' {and I quote +professor Oberth} he said, `Gentlemen, we cannot take credit for all +the technological developments that we have had in the last decade. +We have had help,' and that's where he stopped. + + One of the reporters raised his hand and said, `Professor +Oberth, can you tell us what other country helped us?' + + He said, `It was those little guys from out in space,' and then +he got down and and would not comment any further. Now remember, +this occurred in 1959 ! I can go on and on but time doesn't allow +it. + + I will tell you ladies and gentlemen that there are all kinds of +things going on all the time. We are making rapid progress in +exposing this. Since I have begun talking, people have been coming +out of the woodwork at a rapid rate.....people who know and have +pieces of this puzzle, and are helping us to put it together, because +I don't have all the answers. I saw an awful lot of material. I have +remembered an awful lot of it. I have probably, in my remembering, +made some mistakes, but I guarantee you they're minor ones, if I +have. + + We have just recently.....for those of you who didn't believe +that the Jason Society of the Jason Scholars - the secret group +existed.....we now have a letter from the Pentagon with 51 names of +the Jason Scholars.....an admission from the Pentagon that they hold +the highest security clearances in the nation.....an admission from +the Pentagon that they hold the protocol rank of Rear Admiral and are +treated as such on any military installation or in any government +office. There are 6 Nobel Prize winners on that list ! They are the +elite of the elite of the scientific world. They are the only ones +who really know the truth about the technology today and about the +real science of physics because the science that we're being taught +all the time......well, if you send your kids to college to learn +physics, you're wasting your money because they're teaching them +stuff that doesn't work. It's not true; it's not real. Gravity is not +what we think it is. There IS a Unified Theory ! We already know what +it is. It's what makes those [space]craft work. It's absolutely +incredible what's going on. + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 7 + + How many of you keep up with Billy Goodman's show on KVEG out of +Las Vegas ? For those of you who don't, I would try tuning in on any +night between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM. It's 840 on your AM dial, and the +subject every night are those subjects that no other media person in +the United States will touch with a 10-foot pole. Every single night +except Saturday night. It's the only show that you can call in and +talk to another caller. You've got 3 minutes to say whatever you +want to say as long as you don't cuss or swear or slander anyone, and +every night they're helping to expose this. + + When John Lear and I first said what was going on out at Groom +Lake everybody said, `You're nuts, there's nothing going on out at +Groom Lake!' The listeners of the Billy Goodman radio show put +together an excursion and went up to Groom Lake and they +all.....ever since.....every night, they go up there and watch them +test fly the alien craft ...every night ! The first night they had +100 people there. And 100 people saw 4 alien craft fly, doing things +that no airplane and no helicopter can do. Now they don't tell us +anymore that there's nothing happening at Groom Lake. What +they tell us now is there's no such thing as aliens, it's all +government secret projects. That's okay because we'll prove that +wrong too eventually, it just takes awhile. Because where we +WERE.....it's not where we're AT, and I'm really happy about that. + + Now, if you want to see what's happening right now, keep +watching your movies, keep watching your television commercials, +your alien programs on television. Read Whitley Streeper's `Majestic' +which is a part of the contingency plan called `Majestic' to test the +reaction of the population to the presence of aliens on the Earth. I +have just finished my study of Whitley Streeper's book `Majestic,' +and I'm gonna tell you right now that most of the documents in +there, that he says are fiction, are real documents that came right +out of Project Grudge. It is part of the government's campaign to +leak information out in ways that they can always deny that it's +real. There's only one thing wrong with the information in that +book.....The stories of the characters in there I know nothing about. +What I'm talking about are the supposed government documents that he +has in that book. I'm telling you tonight they're real. Those are +some of the same documents that I saw in Project Grudge back between +1970 & 1973, and where we have wondered before, now we know that +Whitley Streeper IS working for the government. We had a suspicion +anyway because in the front of his book he states that he got +information and was helped by the research team of Moore, Shanderey, +and Friedman. William Moore has publicly admitted on July the 1st +that he is an agent of the United States Government, and we know that +the others are, too. + + This is gonna come out, and the reason they're doing it the way +they're doing it is they know eventually you're gonna find out that +it's all true and real. They're desensitizing you so that you're not +shocked......so that there's no collapse of society as we know +it.....so that the religious structure doesn't fall to pieces.....so +that the stock market doesn't go crazy, because these were their +original fears. Now, there's nothing we can do about the last one + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 8 + +because it's already happened. There will be a segment of the +population that worships the aliens, even though they're no +different than us.....they're just from somewhere else, and they may +look a little different. They are not gods. But there are already +people worshiping the aliens and they predicted this would happen +when they slapped the secret stamp all over all this stuff. + + You know, there's really nothing wrong with what's been +happening except for 3 things." [Cooper forgets to mention the 3rd +thing, or was sidetracked, or included it into the 2nd thing.] +"Number one, when they decided to keep it secret they needed to +finance it, they couldn't tell the public so they couldn't tell +Congress. They decided to finance it with the importation and sale of +drugs. Now in the documents that I read, in Operation Majority, it +specifically stated that when George Bush was the president and CEO +of Zapata [sp] Oil, he, in conjunction with the CIA, organized the +first large scale drug importation into this country from South and +Central America by fishing boat to the offshore oil platforms of +Zapata Oil and then from there into the beach, thus bypassing all +Customs inspections and law enforcement inspections of any kind. They +are still bringing in drugs, to a limited extent, in this manner. +Another manner is by CIA contract aircraft which, one of their bases +of landing is Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. We have +affidavits from air controllers who have vectored the planes in; who +have made sure that they're not interfered with in any way. We have +affidavits from personnel at Homestead Air Force Base who say the +planes have been met by Zeb Bush, who's George Bush's son. We have +affidavits from people who work in the Gulf of Mexico, in the +offshore oil business, who say `yes indeed, the drugs are coming in, +at least some of them, from the offshore oil platforms.'" + + From the audience came a clear statement, "Just say no ?" + + "Pardon? Right! Just Say No! Well that's what we're gonna do +ladies and gentlemen with your help ...we are going to say NO, no +more! And you gotta do it; you gotta act. You either gotta act, or +watch your country go down the tubes." + + "Now, that's one of the things that's wrong. The next thing +that's wrong is, to keep the secret, they killed a lot of people who +tried to leak it out. And if I hadn't done it the way that I did it, +you wouldn't be seeing me anywhere standing or walking on this Earth +now. They killed President Kennedy and during the workshop, for those +of you haven't seen the tape, I will show you, on the tape, who shot +the President and why. Between '70 and '73, in Operation Majority +it stated verbatim that President Kennedy ordered MJ-12 to cease the +importation and sale of drugs to the American people, that he ordered +them to impliment a plan to reveal the presence of aliens to the +American people within the following year. His assassination was +ordered by the policy committee of the Vilderbergers. MJ-12 +implemented the plan and carried it out in Dallas. It involved +agents of the CIA, Division 5 of the FBI, the Secret Service, and the +Office of Naval Intelligence. President Kennedy was killed by the +driver of his car, his name was William Greer. He used a recoilless, + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 9 + +electrically operated, gas-powered assassination pistol that was +specially built by the CIA to assassinate people at close range. It +fired an explosive pellet which injected a large amount of shellfish +poison into the brain, and that is why, in the documents, it states +that President Kennedy's brain was removed. If you've studied the +case, you will find that indeed his brain disappeared. The reason +for that is so that they would not find the particles of the +exploding pellet or the shellfish poison in his brain which would +have proved conclusively that Lee Harvy Oswald was NOT the assassin. +In fact, Lee Harvy Oswald never fired a shot. He was the patsy." + + Mr. Cooper paused briefly, and a lady in the audience asked the +obvious question, "Why haven't YOU been assassinated?" + + "If they were to kill me right now, what would you think?" +Cooper posed. + + "That it's the truth," several people chimed. + + "I've got `em right where I want `em. If they touch me, everyone +who's ever heard me talk is gonna be absolutely enraged and is gonna +know that everything I've said is true. As long as they don't touch +me there's gonna be some of you who are always gonna be wondering. +But eventually we're gonna bring enough proof out, and if you're here +during the workshop you're gonna see an awful lot of it that's gonna +prove to you that it's true. It's real. And it's happening!" + + "Okay, I've tried to cover a lot of stuff, just briefly, because +there's no time in 45 minutes to get into anything very much." + + Mr. Cooper then announced the scheduled workshop session the +following day in which tangible proofs could be seen but regrettably, +I was unable to attend. He then opened up the floor to questions and +answers. A muffled question was barely heard coming from the front +of the room which in essence asked, "What about all the people in +the press and others who were in Dallas and who saw the +assassination? Couldn't they tell where the shot came from, why +didn't they come forward? There must have been plenty." + + "There was. We know that there was at least 18 who were all +murdered within 2 years of the event. The odds of that happening are +1 in 300,000 trillion," Cooper replied. + + Again a muffled question, "Why did the DRIVER have to shoot +Kennedy?" + + "Because the other fools missed! There were a total of 3 shots +fired at President Kennedy, one hit him in the throat and didn't +kill him and 2 of them hit John Connelly [sp]. The one that was +fired from the grassy knoll hit the President in the throat. The +other 2 shots came from directly behind the limousine, not the +school book depository building, and hit Governor Connelly. Governor +Connelly, in intelligence community circles, is known as a `can do' +man, because he took 2 hits and still kept his mouth shut." + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 10 + + + "How is it that the driver, sitting on the front, left-hand +side of the car was able to blow off the right side of Kennedy's +brain when the bullet actually entered in, and it would have been +virtually impossible..." another person asked. + + Mr. Cooper seized the gist of his question and injected, "For +those of you who have been listening to all these talk show hosts, +whose job it is to be a talk show host, and who have not done any +legitimate research into this, if you come to the workshop, I will +show you, on the tape, how it was done. You will see that Kennedy +was, in fact slumped over against Jackie. His head was turned [this +direction]. It was very simple. It was easy and you will see it with +your own eyes." + + Another muffled, off-mike question from a member of the audience +inquiring why no one else had come forward with the information Mr. +Cooper was disseminating, and why those who knew it had kept it +secret for so long was quickly answered, "It hasn't been, I'm +talkin' about it now. Bill English was talkin' about it 8 years ago +but everybody laughed at Bill English. John Lear's been talkin' about +it for 3 years and everybody laughed at him. Now there's so many +people have been talkin' about it, people are startin' to listen +and it's about time. Because it's about time we that we quit being +fools, and that's exactly what they think we are and we prove it to +them every day." + + Almost all of the questions from the audience were to faint to +hear. The next one dealt with the alien technology and asked in +essence, "Hasn't any one else [other than the government] come up +with the energy technology that the aliens have?" to which Mr. +Cooper answered, "There's been quite a few people who've come up +with it and they've ALL been stopped, and they'll all continue to be +stopped. Because once you have it you have FREE ENERGY. Once you have +free energy they no longer have power over you. You understand? +That's why they stop it." + + Another question asking, "In the film of the assassination +which was examined greatly by experts, why didn't THEY conclude that +Kennedy's driver shot him?", to which Cooper asked, "Examined by WHO +greatly?", and continued, "Most of the film that you can purchase +has that segment cut out, and you can always tell it by the person +running in the background, they'll run up to here... all of a sudden +they'll be down here... running. You will see in most of the clips +that you've ever seen on television, or in the movies, or that you're +able to get your hands on, you'll see William Greer start to turn +like this...", then a muffled comment from the audience, then Cooper +answered, "That's because they clipped it out ! And on a lot of +them, I'll bet you.....most of you.....every time you've seen the +clip on television, you never looked at the driver anyway. If you're +really honest with yourself, and with me, you know your eyes were +right on Kennedy." + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 11 + + A woman asked if any of the alien technology was being used in +present-day military equipment and was answered, "Yes, there's a +lot of alien technology contained in the Stealth bomber. That's +right. The Stealth fighter was flying for 10 years before you even +knew it existed." + + As the hour drew late another question, more clearly stated, +was asked of Mr. Cooper by a woman closer to my ears, "Before you +let us all out of here, there's a bunch of us here wondering what +can we all do to help bring this all out?" + + A single word, "REVOLT" issued from several listeners +simultaneously but Cooper responded, "Don't revolt. What you need to +do is what you should have been doing all along. You need to get +involved with your government. The first thing you need to do is +purchase a copy of the Constitution, which I know that most of you +don't have anywhere in your house, and if I were to go around this +room and ask each person what the Constitution says, most of you +couldn't tell me what the Constitution says from your grocery bill. +And that's the truth ! And that IS your country ! So, if you don't +know what your Constitution is, you're dead already ! So the first +thing you do is you get a copy of your Constitution. The second thing +you do is you learn it ! The third thing you do is you start calling +your senators and your representatives, and the President of the +United States and you start leaning on them, and you tell them, +`Unless you straighten up the government, and unless we start getting +the truth, and I mean the whole truth, and no more of this baloney, +this's the last job you're ever gonna have, period ! And +I'll do everything in my power to make sure that comes true.' And +then write them, frequently, saying the same thing. And then when +they're in your area, in their area offices, take a little delegation +and go see them, and make them understand that they're gonna be +living in poverty because they're not gonna have a job anymore come +election day. You see, the secret government may own the Executive +Branch, but you people, all of us, we own the Congress, and the +Congress makes the laws, and the Congress can impeach the entire +Executive Branch ! You also have the right to petition the government +for a redress of injuries. So you ARE powerful, you've just forgotten +that you're powerful. You've forgotten that that voting that you +haven't been doing every time election comes around.....that vote you +didn't make has abdicated your power. That vote you did not cast +abdicated your power and gave it to those who are subverting the +Constitution and are ruining this country." + + A gentleman then asked, "What was traded to the aliens for +their technology?" + + "People and animals," replied Cooper succinctly. + + Another man asked, "Is the Soviet Union in on any of this?" + + "The Soviet Union and the United States of America have been +close allies since the end of World War II and have been closely +participating in the secret space program all this time. The + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 12 + +Soviets have the same thing we have. Yes. What you see happening in +the Soviet block right now is not the result of people standing up +and saying, `We want to be free.' It's the result of the +international bankers saying, `You tear down these barriers, and you +meet the West half way, give your people some freedom, the +West is gonna take some freedom away from their people so that we +can put together a one-world economic system.....and have all the +power. That's what's happening! If you don't believe it, stick +around and watch it!" + + A dubious woman then asked, "Why was the shellfish poison +necessary? A lot of his brain was blown off anyway." + + Cooper: "The shellfish poison? If you go to kill someone, one +thing I've learned....I learned it real good. I learned it especially +good when I went to Viet Nam.....just `cause you shoot someone +doesn't mean they're gonna die. And if they don't die, they're gonna +be MAD. And if they've got a gun, you're dead. So you want the first +time to be the last time. So if you really want to to kill somebody +you don't play around. If you REALLY want to kill somebody ...you +KILL them ! You don't play. You make sure that when you shoot them, +they're dead. That way they can't hurt you.....can't hurt you at +all." + + Regrettably, the next question was totally unintelligible, I was +thankful however that Mr. Cooper had a good public address system to +amplify his reply, "The first moon landing was May the 22nd, 1962... +or excuse me, that was the first landing on Mars. I'm sorry, May the +22nd, 1962 was the winged probe that used a hydrozine propeller, +flew around approximately 3 orbits and landed on May the 22nd, 1962, +was a joint United States-Russian endeavor. The first time that we +landed on the moon was sometime during the.....probably middle 50's, +because at the time when President Kennedy stated that he wanted a +man to set foot on the moon by the end of the decade we already had a +base there." + + "What about Mars?" came another quick question. + + "We have a base on Mars also," Cooper calmly replied. + + "When did that happen?" + + "I don't know the exact date but I know the project's name. It +was `Adam and Eve'." + + "How long have you known about this?" + + "Well, I revealed it publicly for the first time on July the +2nd, 1989, and within 3-weeks of the time I revealed it publicly, the +government, to get the American people not to listen to me, came out +and said that they planned to build a base on the moon and a colony +on Mars. Now, 3 days previous to my speech, representatives from +NASA said, `We can never have a colony on Mars, it's impossible that + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 13 + +there's a colony on Mars because Mars is a dead planet.' And it's NOT +a dead planet, they've lied to you about Mars." + + "My name is Dave [unintelligible], I'm a representative of the +Crystic Institute, and I'd like to know why it was that when we sent +a representative down to your home, at your request, you failed to +produce any documentation to substantiate your allegations." + + "In the first place it was NOT at my request, I have never +contacted the Crystic Institute in my life. I was on the Carol +Hemingway Show. She contacted the Crystic institute. She told +Daniel Shehan [sp] that I had just said something about Bush and +drugs on her show. HE called ME and told me he wanted to send an +investigator. In fact, he told me to even help the investigator +because he was new at the job. His name was Wayne Nelson. He is a +very good gentleman. He stayed at my house for 2 days, slept +overnight on my couch, I gave him everything I had. I never told +Daniel Shehan that I had any documents and I never told Wayne +Nelson that I had any documents. In fact what I told Wayne Nelson, +and I quote, `Wayne, if I did have the documents I couldn't admit it +and I don't know you from Adam, and I don't know Daniel Shehan from +Adam and what makes you think I would give them to you.' Who am I +going to give them to and how quick are they going to disappear, that +was my thought. Wayne Nelson also came to my house with a stack of +documents this thick already substantiating the presence of aliens +and extraterrestrial craft on this planet, and they are keeping it a +secret, because they're afraid somebody'll laugh at them and they'll +loose their credibility." + + "We need some patriots in this country, not people trying to +make a name for themselves, trying to expose some drug runners, +because those are just the bag-men. The real crook is in the White +House! And you can tell THAT to Daniel Shehan!" + + "Why didn't Jackie Kennedy report [the source of the lethal +shot]?" asked another audience member. + + "Who's she gonna tell? The Secret Service just killed her +husband and they're assigned to protect the President. Also, who had +her children? The same Secret Service had her children at the time." + + "Wasn't the craft at Roswell, New Mexico destroyed and all +the aliens killed?" another young man asked. + + "All the aliens were dead but the craft was not completely +destroyed. It was severely damaged; yes." + + On an unrelated note an older gentleman asked, "Does that mean +that `Alternative 3' is true?" + + "Alternative 3 is absolutely true and so is `Alternative 2'." + + + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 14 + + Then a man in his late 20's or early 30's raised his hand, said +something I couldn't hear, and was apparently recognized by Mr. +Cooper, who asked him to take the podium and address the audience. + + "What I said was that I thanked him [Cooper] very much for +coming forward and saying something. A lot of my friends out here +know that I was involved in the United States Special Forces, UFO +Tracking and Research from the years 1971 to 1975. My name is Richard +Murray, I was based out of the 71st Tac Controll Flight, McDill Air +Force Base, Tampa, Florida. We were `Mobile Radar Command,' that was +combat and war ready. We could be loaded on aircraft within an hour +and many times were taken into areas [to] set up radar. A lot of +times we were set up around Egland [sp] Air Force Base because +that's where they have the `Altered Temperature Weather Control', +where they can test various aircraft for their shrinkage and their +dimension change during altered temperature. So, you know, I was told +to shut up twice in 1982 and they finally threatened my parents life +so I stayed quiet, and, that's when Wendel Stevens was taken off +the streets... Just like that! And I hid for quite awhile, and +decided to come back out when I heard that you're [Cooper] of such +high rank as you were, and I felt just in saying that your +credentials are true, and that what you have to say, everything +you've said here today, I've heard before behind closed doors. And +you've really tied the link for me to the Kennedy killing. And +there's a few more links that have to go on with the Columbia Cartel +and the money laundering. I think there's more than one cartel +involved, and they're shutting one of them down so one can maintain +a power, it just seems to be the way it works." + + A muffled question then came from someone in the audience +regarding the person referred to as "Colonel Stevens." + + "Oh, Colonel Stevens is out of jail now," replied Murray who was +quickly asked another question I couldn't hear to which he answered, +"I sure hope to hell so, he is a wonderful man and I give him my +utmost respect and it was one of the saddest days in my life to see +what happened to him happen to him. But I don't care what they say +about Wendel Stevens, in my heart you can't discredit that man to +me. I don't care who the hell you are. I won't listen to it, I don't +give a shit if he was screwin' babies. You know... that doesn't... +he's not that kind of a man, I don't care what you say, I know +him personally." + + The lecture was then essentially over. The "Alternative-2 and-3" +that were referred to briefly are, to the best of my knowledge, two +government contingency plans and I don't know which is which. To 1: +Declare Martial Law and invalidate the Constitution on the premise +that a terrorist group had entered the country with a Nuclear weapon +with plans to detonate it in a major city. All dissidents would be +rounded up and placed in concentration camps and the press and media +would be nationalized. All this, if the information becomes public +before they want it to or if the aliens attempt a takeover, and 2: +Another contingency plan to contain or delay the release of this +information, the details of which I am probably wrong about anyway. + + M J 1 2 - P T 2 . D O C + + Page 15 + +My own personal reaction to Milton William Cooper; Mr. Cooper is a +man who appears to be in his late fourties, of medium height and +weight, and was dressed casually when I saw him. His hairline was +receding slightly and he carried himself with confidence and purpose. +Bill Cooper, as he was called by several in attendance, is not a +professional speaker. His presentation lacked the polish of repeated +deliveries which all the other lectures I heard during the Expo. had, +but what it lacked in fine tuning was easily made up for in its +content.

I'm sick of the B-2 discussion.) + + . + + Now that I've had a chance to take a close look at Mark Carlotto's article +("Digital Imagery Analysis of Unusual Martian Surface Features," Applied +Optics, Vol. 27, No. 10, 15 May 1988, pp. 1926-1933), I'd like to comment on +it. + + . + + In spite of his title, Carlotto makes the elementary mistake of assuming +what he is supposed to prove. Instead of discussing the "object, the +"anomaly," or whatever, he begins by talking about "the face." Later, he +identifies "teeth" in the "face." + + . + + There are not enough data for a conclusion as sweeping as the author makes +in this paper. It's a case of making meaning out of background noise. As +Martin Gardner notes, "If you search any kind of chaotic data, it is easy to +find combinations that seem remarkable." + + . + + There are only 4 images of the object from the Viking photos, and 2 of +those do not have sufficient resolution to be useful. Of the 2 +high-resolution pictures, 35A72 and 70A13 are both in afternoon light with a +sun zenith angle difference of only 17 degrees. It's unfortunate that we +don't have hi-res photos of the area taken at other times of day. They would +undoubtedly settle this once and for all. + + . + + Figure 3 on p. 1928, a local contrast enhancement of the object by Carlotto +(from 70A13) is an interesting picture. Turn it upside down so that your mind +doesn't see a "face" so easily. Now you can see that the object looks more +like an unusual - but probably natural - geological formation. The tendency +for humans (even humans with Ph.D.'s) to find patterns where there are no +patterns is certainly powerful, particularly where faces are concerned. + + + + +Subj: Part 2 + + + + The author concludes that "the close proximity of unusual objects...to the +face increases the likelihood that this collection of objects is not +natural." I don't see anything terribly unusual in anything southwest of the +object at all. All I see are natural wind-sculpted formations. Typical +Martian terrain. + + . + + Even if one of the objects does turn out to be a pyramid, it proves +nothing. It looks much cruder than the many pyramids found in natural rock +formations in Arizona. + + . + + Finally, I was extremely surprised that Carlotto cites "The Face on Mars" +(Pozos) and "The Monuments of Mars" (Hoagland). Scientific papers don't +normally cite flim-flam. It's like finding a reference to a Shirley MacLaine +book in a scholarly paper on geology. + + . + + I find it significant that Carlotto cites none of the experts who actually +work with the Viking photos. Pietro and Molenaar, who Carlotto does cite, +have no expertise in Martian geology or in photo-interpretatio (according to +Conway Snyder who was a key figure in the Viking project at JPL). + + . + + I'd like to see the referees' report on this paper. Perhaps they were so +facinated by the computer enhancement techniques (which are state of the art) +that they ignored the ridiculousness of what was being enhanced. So far, in +the latest issues of Applied Optics I could find, there have been no +rebuttals. + + . + + I wish Dr. Carlotto would now use his image enhancement techniques on my +two other favorite Martian formations: the 5-mile wide Happy Face and the +Kermit the Frog formation. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 11th +, 1987The accompanying document [MJ12DOC2.UFO] is part of the research properties of William L. Moore, Jaime H. Shandera and Stanton T. Frie +dman. Moore (a professional writer) and Friedman (a well-known nuclear physicist) are recognized and respected UFO researchers of long stand +ing with solid backgrounds for factual reporting. Both have written and lectured widely on thesubject. Shandera is a Los Angeles television +producer with a background that includes directing a variety of news and documentary shows. In 1982, after Moore had worked more than a year + and a half on his own, the three teamed up ona research project that would take them further into the strange world of government involveme +nt with Unidentified Flying Objects than anyone in the civilian field is known to have ever gone before. This project involved anonymous gov +ernment agents sharing research pointers and dialogue alleging that UFOs are indeed extraterrestrial spacecraft and that certain elements of + the U. S. intelligence community continue to maintain a high-level but covert interest in this phenomenon at a time when official position +statements assert that there is no government interest whatsoever.Over the past seven years, the Moore-Shandera-Friedman team, working close +ly with a number of other associates both in the news media and within the civilian UFO community, has aggressively pursued contacts, develo +ped sources, and carefully researched leads. Numerous interviews were conducted and many days were spent combing through records at the Nati +onal Archives in Washington,D.C. as well as both the Truman and Eisenhower presidential libraries and numerous similar facilities both feder +al and private. They can now report that considerable progress has been made.The accompanying document arrived in the mail in a plain brown +wrapper at the residence of Jaime Shandera [pronounced SHAN-der-ray] in December, 1984. A detailed and exhaustive study of every aspect of t +his document has been under way since then. Although we are not in a position to endorse its authenticity at this time, it is our considered + opinion, based upon research and interviews conducted thus far, that the document and its contents _appear_ to be genuine. At the very leas +t, it is possible to state with certainty that absolutely nothing has surfaced during the course of our research which would seem to suggest + otherwise. Indeed, one document was uncovered at the National Archives which unquestionably verifies the existence of an "MJ 12" group in 1 +954 and definitely links both the National Security Council and the President of the United States to it. A copy of this document, with its +authenticating stamp from the National Archives, is also attached for your examination [MJ12DOC4.UFO].These materials are being submitted fo +r your examination and consideration either as a member of the news media or as one whose own interests and researchlie along similar lines. + Please be advised that no use of this material may be made without crediting its source as the Moore-Shandera-Friedman Research Project int +o U.S. Government UFO Policy.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR TO ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW, PLEASE CALL JIM SPEISER OR PARANET AT 602-837-9838, OR LEAV +E AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE ON PARANET ALPHA AT 602-837-0062.Contents Copyright 1987 by WLM, JHS, & STF.

Although this was not the first known sightingof such objects, it was the first to gain widespread attentionin the publi +c media. Hundreds of reports of sightings of similar objects followed. Many of these came from highlycredible military and civilian source +s. These reports res-ulted in independent efforts by several different elementsof the military to ascertain the nature and purpose of these +objects in the interests of national defense. A number ofwitnesses were interviewed and there were several unsuccessfulattempts to utilize +aircraft in efforts to pursue reporteddiscs in flight. Public reaction bordered on near hysteriaat times.In spite of these efforts, little +of substance was learned about the objects until a local rancher reported that one had crashed in a remote region of New Mexico located appr +ox-mately seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Base (now Walker Field).On 07 July, 1947, a secret operation was begun to assurer +ecovery of the wreckage of this object for scientific study.During the course of this operation, aerial reconnaissance discovered that four +small human-like beings had apparently ejected from the craft at some point before it exploded.These had fallen to earth about two miles eas +t of the wreck-age site. All four were dead and badly decomposed due to action by predators and exposure to the elements during the approxim +ately one week time period which had elapsed before their discovery. A special scientific team took charge of removing these bodies for stud +y. (See attachment "C".) The wreckage of the craft was also removed to several different locations.(See Attachment "B".) Civilian and milita +ry witnesses in the area were debriefed, and news reporters were given the effective cover story that the object had been a misguided weathe +r research balloon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * + * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOP SECRET / [BLANKED] _EYES ONLY_ T52-EXEMPT (E) + EYES ONLY 003------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * + * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ON +EA covert analytical effort organized by Gen. Twining and Dr. Bush acting on the direct orders of the President, resulted in a preliminary c +oncensus (19 September, 1947) that the disc was most likely a short range reconaissance craft. This conclusion was based for the most part o +n the craft's size and the apparent lack of any identifiable provisioning. (See Attachment "D".) A similar analysis of the four dead occupan +ts was arranged by Dr. BRonk. It was the tentative conclsions of this group (30 November, 1947) that although these creatures are human-like + in appearance, the biological and evolutionary processes responsible for their development has apparently been quite different from those o +bserved or postulated in homo-sapiens. Dr. Bronk's team has suggested the term "Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities", or "EBE's", be adopt +ed as the standard term of reference for these creatures until such time as a more definitive designation can be agreed upon.Since it is vir +tually certain that these craft do not originate in any country on earth, considerable speculation has centered around what their point of o +rigin might be and how they get here. Mars was and remains a possibility, although some scientists, most notably Dr. Menzel, consider it mor +e likely that we are dealing with beings from another solar system entirely.Numerous examples of what appear to be a form of writing were fo +und in the wreckage. Efforts to decipher these have remained largely unsuccessful. (See Attachment "E".) Equally unsuccesful have been effor +ts to determine the method of propulsion or the nature or method of transmission of the power source involved. Research along these lines ha +s been complicated by the complete absence of identifiable wings, propellors, jets, or other conventional methods of propulsion and guidance +, as well as a total lack of metallic wiring, vacuum tubes, or similar recognizable electronic components. (See Attachment "F".) It is assum +ed that the propulsion unit was completely destroyed by the explosion which caused the crash. ****************** + * TOP SECRET * ******************EYES ONLY TOP SECRET / MAJIC T-52 EXEMPT (E) + EYES ONLY 004------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY ****************** * TOP SE +CRET * ******************EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONEA need for as much additional i +nformation as possible about these craft, their performance characteristics and their purpose led to the undertaking known as U.

The plans to be outlined here +are based on the two somewhat similar, but slightly differing +versions of the plan as developed by various U.S. specialists. +One plan is that first presented at a July 1985 conference in +honor of the space pioneer, Krafft Ehricke, who died at the end +of 1984. The second plan, is one drafted by the U.S. Space +Commission, and presented approximately a year after the Krafft +Ehricke conference. This presentation will emphasize the +approach laid out at the Krafft Ehricke memorial conference, but +it will also make use of important features of the proposals by +the U.S. Space Commission. + +"For this purpose, I ask you to come with me, in your +imagination, to a Wednesday in September, in the year 2036 +A.D., nine years after the Mars colony has been founded. +Starting from an imaginary television broadcast to Earth on 1800 +hours London time, that day, let us look from that day and +year, back to the time of the United States' adoption of the +Mars colonization project, and trace each major step of the +project from the year 1989, up to the year 2027, the year the +first permanent colony on Mars is finally established. + +"Those who have worked to prepare this presentation, have +thought that we must use our powers of imagination in this way. +It is thought, that we must focus attention on our destination +as we outline each step of a journey. It seems to us, that +that is the only way this project, and its importance for all +mankind, can be properly understood. + +"To present the project in this way, it is necessary to +include some imaginary political figures and political events, +so that we might present this as a story. However, the +technical facts we use here represent the scientific and related +facts of the Mars colonization plan as those facts exist today." +---------------------------------------------------------------- + + THE WOMAN ON MARS + ================= + + +The BBC television studio's clock says that it is 1600 hours +in London, on Wednesday, September **, 2036 A.D. From ** +millions miles away, on Mars, a televised image travels ** +minutes across space, to be picked up by the giant geostationary +receiver hovering over the South Atlantic, from where the signal +is relayed to other satelites, reaching waiting disk-antennas +around the world. A woman's face appears on the BBC screen. + +The woman on the screen is in her late thirties. The sight +of her familiar features brings expressions of admiration to the +viewing audiences now receiving this live broadcast around most +of the world. She is Dr. Ellen Jones, chief executive of the +Mars colony, and the daughter of the famous space pioneer, Dr. +Walter Jones, who headed the U.S.A.'s Mars-colonization program +from 2008 until his retirement in 2027. + +"I bring you greetings from your 683,648 relatives and +friends living here on Mars, and some very good news," she +begins. "Our astrophysicists agree, that with our latest +series of observations at our Cyclops III radiotelescope, we +have solved at least a good part of the mystery of what you know +as black holes. We are convinced that we are at the verge of +fundamentally new ideas about how our universe works." + +The TV audience followed her five-minute televised report +with a scientific interest which would have been unimaginable +when the Mars-colonization mission was first launched by the +U.S., back in March 1989. + +The 1990s flights of transatmospheric craft up to stations +in low Earth orbit, had revived the spirit of the popularity of +space-exploration from the Apollo-project period of the 1960s. +After Earth's first geostationery space-terminal had been +completed near the end of the 1990s, manned flights to the Moon +had sson become routine. Over the 1990s, the point was reached +that every school-child, not only in the U.S., Europe, and +Japan, but throughout the world. demanded to know everything +possible about space. + +Beginning the 1990s, fewer and fewer university students +attended courses in the social sciences, as the physical +sciences, including space biology, took over the classrooms +almost completely. Even at pre-school ages, more and more +children, asked what gift they wished for Christmas, would +answer, "a telescope." As the industrialization of the Moon +began near the end of the Twenty-First Century's first decade, to +look up was to express optimism about the human race's future. +Space and the spirit of adventure became one and the same. + +There had been a deeper quality of changes in attitudes. +What had been the most popular competitive sports of the +Twentieth Century became less popular, and achievement in +swimming, track and field, and mountain-climbing the most +popular features of physical education programs. "Keeping in +shape for space-travel," was the value which more and more +attached to physical education. + +Twentieth-Century man would be astonished to know the new +way in which "spirit of adventure" was translated during the +early decades of the Twenty-First. Some things Twentieth +Century man would have recognized. Being the first to set foot +on some planetary body, was of course a commonplace fantasy +among children and youth. The difference was, most teen-agers, +and some much younger, already knew the real purpose of space- +exloration. That purpose was, to acquire knowledge which the +human race needed, and could not gain without scientific +exploration of our universe in a way which could not be done +without travelling far beyond Earth's orbit. The idea of +adventure, was not a matter of simply getting to some strange +place out there. Exciting adventure, was to participate in +making some exciting new discovery in space, which would be +useful to the majority of the human race remaining back here on +Earth. + +So, those children and youth gobbled up every bit of +information they could, with the purpose being to understand +what kind of knowledge mankind was seeking out there. + +The last two years, 2025-2026, just before the building of +the first permanent colony on Mars, had seen the most rapid +transformation in popular values here on Earth. + +The TV screens had been filled often with images of those +giant spacecraft, each much larger than a Twentieth Century +ocean liner, taking off from the vicinity of Earth's +Geostationery space-terminal, in flotillas of five or more, +each seeming to thunder silently in the near-vacuum under one- +gravity acceleration. By then, a permanent space-terminal was +being constantly manned in Mars orbit. The televised broadcasts +from that terminal showed the monstrous space-craft arriving. +Earth's television screens showed the gradual accumulation of +that vast amount of material in Mars orbit, waiting for the day +it would descend to Mars surface. TV viewers on Earth saw the +first craft, designed to descend and rise through the thin +atmosphere of Mars, and saw views of approaching Mars surface +from the cockpit, through the eyes of the cameras. + +A great anticipation built up throughout Earth's population +during those last two preparatory years. Then, Earth went +through what was afterward described as the "sleepless year," as +the first city was assembled on Mars, during 2027, Audiences +on Earth demanded to see every step of the construction relayed +back here. Nearly everyone on Earth became thus a "sidewalk +superintendent" for as many available hours as his or her sleep- +starved eyes could be kept open. On waking, it was the same. +The daily successes reported from Mars were discussed as widely +and in as much detail as Twentieth Century sports fans debated +the details of a weekend's football play. + +By then, holographic projections had become as economical +and commonplace as personal computers had been during the 1980s. +Building a synthetic holographic model of the solar system, and +constructing a powered-flight trajectory, such as one between +Earth and Mars, became quite literally child's play. A child's +parent could purchase a packaged program at a local store, and +the child often insisted that this be done. Turning on one's +system, and updating the positions of the planets and the course +of a space-flotilla flight in progress, became a habit with +many. The same was done with various stages of the construction +of the first permanent colony. Whatever was seen on the TV +screen, was something one wished to reconstruct. The passive +TV watching of the Twentieth Century had come to an end. + +The first large-aperture radiotelescopes had been +constructed a millions or so miles from Mars, as soon as the +manned orbiting space-terminal had been completed. The system +of observatories and space-laboratories associated with them, +was expanded rapidly, once the first hundred thousand permanent +colonists had begun to settle in. Popular fascination here on +Earth, shifted its focus somewhat from the Mars colony itself, +to these new projects. + +It was such a world-wide audience which sat or stood, +absorbed with every sentence of Dr. Jones' five-minute report, +either as it was being broadcast, or a when morning reached them +a few hours later. Throughout the planet, over the course of +that Wednesday and Thursday, there was the eerily joyful sense +that humanity had reached a major milestone in the existence of +our species. It would be said, in later decades, than on that +day in 2036, the Age of Reason had truly begun. + +At the beginning of the 1950s, space pioneers such as Willy +Braun had begun working-out the specifications for manned flights +to Mars. One leading Peenemunde veteran, NASA's Krafft +Ehricke, had been certain that the U.S. could have sent a manned +exploratory flight to Mars as early as the 1980s. +Unfortunately, near the end of 1966, the United States had cut +back massively on its aerospace program. Presidents Johnson and +Nixon did not eliminate President Kennedy's popular commitment to +a manned landing on the Moon from the NASA program, but most of +the other aerospace projects were cut back, and cut back +savagely as soon as the program of initial Moon landings had been +completed. Krafft Ehricke continued toward his completion of +the design for industrialization of the Moon, but he died in +1984, his work nearly completed on paper, with no visible +prospect that the U.S. would resume such a commitment during the +forseeable future. + +It was not until shortly after Ehricke's death that a +renewed U.S. commitment to colonization of Mars appeared. The +proposal for a permanent colony on Mars as early as the middle +2020s, was a featured presentation at a Virginia conference held +in honor of Krafft's memory, in July 1985. Nearly a year after +that, the U.S. Space Commission adopted the same target-date, +and its proposal was endorsed, although without significant +funding, by President Ronald Reagan. However, the Mars- +colonization project was a featured part of the January 1989 +State of the Union address of the new President. During March +of 1989 a U.S. Moon-Mars Colonization Commission was established. +During that month, the Congress rushed through approval of +treaty-agreements which the President negotiated with Japan and +western European governments, establishing these allies as +partners in the U.S.-sponsored Moon-Mars Colonization Project. + +Popular enthusiasm for the project was so great, that the +President was able to secure a $5 billions initial budgetary +allotment for the new project. Japan matched this with an +sizably increased allotment to its own aerospace program shortly +after that. Confident that changes in U.S. policies were going +to bring the world out of what threatened to become a major +depression, western European governments came close, in total, +to matching Japan's bugetary allotment. + +The successive phases of the Moon-Mars colonization project +were agreed upon that same year. + +It was quickly understood, that planting a permanent colony +on Mars is a far different sort of undertaking than sending a +manned exploratory vessel to visit Mars. Leaders recognized, +that to establish a colony of even a few hundreds members of +scientific parties on Mars would require a very large complex of +production workers, agriculturalists, so forth. + +Back at the end of the 1980s, most citizens and politicians +did not yet understand the significance of the fact that Mars is +an average 55 millions distance from Earth during the period one +might ordinarily think of making such a flight. To sustain +just a few hundreds persons there, was, by late Twentieth- +Century standards, a tremendous number of ton-miles of freight +to be shipped from Earth annually. The scientists understood +this immediately, of course, but it required a lot of effort to +make this clear to most of the politicians, and to popular +opinion. + +The scientists realized very soon, that we should plan to +put not just hundreds of scientists, engineers, and +technicians, on Mars. The purpose for going to Mars in the +first place was scientific investigations. The main purpose was +to build a system of enormous radiotelescopes in the region of +space near Mars, and to conduct the construction, maintenance, +and improvements of these observatories from bases both in Mars +orbit and on the surface of the planet. Using U.S. experience +in demonstration-tests of trained human individuals efficiency +working in low-gravity Earth orbit, it was estimated, that to +construct as many observatories as Earth would need to explore +the universe in as fine detail as must be done from Mars orbit, +would require hundreds of thousands of man-hours each year. +This figure included estimates on the number of days a year a +human being could safely work in a very low-gravity field. + +The scientists estimated, that the cost of keeping a +research worker alive on Mars adds up a total amount of equipment +more than ten times required to sustain a scientist in the middle +of the Sahara or Antarctica. This did not include the estimated +costs of transporting all that tonnage from Earth to Mars. The +scientists explained to the politicians, "Mars is a very cold +place by Earth standards, with a very thin atmosphere, a +shortage of known water-supplies, and a lower gravity than +Earth. People living on Mars must live in man-made environments +under protective domes. The costs of maintaining those domes, +of maintaining water supplies, of maintaining the atmosphere, +and maintaining an acceptable temperature within the artificial +climate, are enormous by Earth standards." The biggest factor +of cost those scientists had to consider was the cost of energy; +they estimated that more than ten times the amount on energy +must be available, per person, on Mars, than the energy +directly consumed by research teams in the Sahara or Antartica. + +They decided that the basic source of energy used on Mars +would have to be thermonuclear fusion. They pointed out, that +the Mars colony would need very concentrated sources of +industrial energy, to enable the colony to produce food and to +sustain itself with the largest part of its requirements in +materials. + +So, it was agreed that the way to sustain our teams of +research workers on Mars, was to build a local supporting +economy in Mars. They estimated that between a quarter and a +half millions total population would be the minimum size for a +successful colony. They thought that this might be sufficient, +if we gave Mars the new generation of industrial technologies +which were in the initial development stages on Earth back during +the 1980s. + +They saw, that to get that number of people to Mars, +together with all that was needed to start up a colony of this +size, was plainly impossible using the methods worked out for +sending a manned exploratory flight to Mars. To lift that +amount of weight from Earth's surface, up into high Earth orbit, +by conventional rocket methods in use in the 1980s, was beyond +possible limits of cost. Even if the cost were greatly reduced +by improved methods of lift-off, the amount of weight which +would have to be lifted to deliver the requirements of a quarter +to half a millions Mars colonists from Earth, was still so +costly as to be out of the question. + +The politicians had imagined, wrongly, that starting a +colony on Mars was like establishing a research base-station in +the Antarctic. The politicians imagined, that the +technologies developed for sending a manned team of explorers +could be expanded to transport a much larger number of +colonists. The scientists had to make clear why this idea was +badly mistaken. + +First of all, human bodies are designed to function under +one Earth gravity, or at least something near to that. The +human body might be able to adapt to gravities a large fraction +of those on Earth, but long flights at nearly zero-gravity are +very risky, and were thought to be quite possibly fatal. So, +the idea of sending people to Mars in the way we sent astronauts +to the Moon, was ruled out. The best way they knew to create +the effect of one Earth gravity in space-craft was to have that +spacecraft constantly powered by one Earth gravity's worth of +acceleration, creating an effect very much like way a person's +weight increases when being accelerated upward in a twentieth +century elevator. The scientists pointed out, that powered +flight at one-Earth-gravity acceleration, made possible new +kinds of trajectory-paths between Mars and Earth, and reduced +the travel time enormously. + +Some pointed out that this might be possible with ion- +engines powered by fission reactors. It was agreed that +thermonuclear fusion would be far superior in several ways. They +explained that fusion energy was the form of energy production +which would be needed on Mars. The problem they tackled was +convincing the politicians that the needed development of fusion +energy had to be completed before the Mars trips began. + +It was decided, that the beginning, that the main part of +solving the problem of lifting weight into geostationery Earth +orbit from Earth's surface, would be industrializing the Moon. +Provided fusion power could be established on the Moon, they +guessed that more than ninety percent of the total weight of +large space-vessels, could be produced on the Moon, and lifted +into Moon orbit at a small fraction of the cost of producing +these materials on Earth. The same thing would apply to most of +the materials set to Mars to construct the first stages of a +permanent colony. Space-vessels to Mars, could be assembled in +either Moon orbit or Earth orbit, and launched from either +place. + +Still, a lot of people and weight must be lifted from +Earth. The scientists decided, that using a rocket to get +beyond the Earth's atmosphere is like designing an aircraft to +fly under water. The idea of using a transatmospheric aircraft +to get above the atmosphere, had been under discussion for +decades, and preliminary designs were fairly well advanced +during the course of the 1980s. It was decided to push the +development of transatmospheric craft, to build up a network of +low-orbiting space-terminals. This would provide the cheapest +possible way of moving large numbers of people, and large +amounts of freight, up beyond the atmosphere. It would also be +the cheapest and safest way to bring people down from orbit to +airports on the Earth. + +By that time, there were already designs for what were then +called "space ferries." These "space ferries" would carry +people and materials over the distance from the low-orbitting +terminals, to the locations of the main space-terminals, in +Earth's geostationery orbit. These geostationery terminals +became the locations at which technicians assembled the craft +used for regular travel between Earth and Moon. + +So, on August **, 2000, the first routine travel between +Earth and the Moon was begun. Some of the astronauts grumbled, +complaining that they had become high-paid airline pilots. It +was pretty much routine. It was policy, that the pilot made +only a few round-trips between the Moon and Earth-orbit, before +being sent back to Earth for rest and rehabilitation, although +the main Earth space-terminals already had a one-Earth-gravity +artificial environment at that time. After a few trips, the +space-pilots would board a regular bus-run of the space ferry at +the space-station, get off at a low-orbitting terminal, and +catch the next transatmospheric flight back to Earth. + +Few people living in 2036 remember this obscure event, but +back in 1986, the United States sent two pilots to prove that an +propeller aircraft could make a non-stop trip around the world. +Most scientists thought the trip was a silly way to waste money +for no useful purpose. The only reason one would mention that +obscure flight in 2036, would be to show the kinds of problems +the scientists faced in explaining space-colonization to the +politicians and voters. + +Imagine a propeller aircraft, the combined weight of whose +engines, fuselage, and pilots are nearly zero. In other words, +how far can a pound of gasoline fly itself, given the +efficiencies of propeller aircraft? So, this obscure flight +was designed, making the weights of engines, fuselage, and +pilots, as small a percentile of the weight of the plane's +maximum fuel load as possible. What did the flight prove? +Nothing that a qualified aeronautics engineer could not have +proven with an electronic hand calculator. + +The problem, back in 1989, was to explain to the +politicians and public how this same problem, of total weight to +fuel weight, limited the possibilities for getting into space, +and affected the costs of getting a pound of weight into space. +As everyone knows today, the further a vessel moves from a +planet's strongest gravitational pull, the less fuel it costs to +accelerate a pound of weight. + +The politicians got the point. The system of getting into +space, from the Earth's surface to the geostationary space +terminal, and to the Moon's orbit, was a kind of pyramid. The +distance from Earth's geostationary terminal to Moon-orbit, was +the tip of the pyramid. The transatmosopheric system, between +the Earth's surface and the low-orbitting terminals, was the +broadast strip of the pyramid. The space ferries, moving back +and forth between the low-orbitting terminals and the +geostationary terminal, were the middle section of the pyramid. + +One of the biggest obstacles the space program had to +overcome, was the massive prejudice most of the politicians and +public had built up against nuclear fission over nearly twenty +years, between 1970 and the time the project began, in 1989. +The political factor, of fear of nuclear radiation, was far +more important than the engineering problems involved in +using nuclear fission safely as a power-source for aircraft and +space vehicles. This prejudice was a major engineering +difficulty, since nuclear fission gives much more power per unit +of weight than chemical fuels. In all travel, the ratio of +total weight to weight of the maximum fuel load, is the most +important of the economic limits to be faced. + +However, by that time, thermonuclear fusion as a power +source was nearly a reality. Fusion is vastly more efficient as +a fuel-user, than nuclear fission. So, nuclear fission was +the power-source for regular flights between Earth-orbit and Moon +orbit during those early years after 2000, but its uses for +other modes of flight was avoided. + +To get from Earth-Moon to Mars, required us to develop +another pyramid, with the base of the pyramid running from +Earth's geostationary orbit to the Moon's production, the +tip of the pyramid reaching Mars surface, and the distance +between the base-line and Mars-orbit the lower portion of the +pyramid's volume. + +A third pyramid was designed. The base of this pyramid was +on Mars' surface. Just as on Earth, we must move passengers +and some freight from Mars' surface into Mars orbits. From +there, in Mars orbit, the pyramid branches in two directions. +One direction leads back to Earth orbit. The other direction +was powered travel, as from Earth orbit to Moon orbit, to and +from the radiotelescopes and space laboratories constructed in +the general vicinity of Mars. + +Those three pyramids became the fundamental design of the +system of transportation as a whole. + +Once the first of the two pyramids had been designed, the +key bottleneck next to be mastered, was production on the Moon. + +Quite clearly, the scientists could not think of building a +nineteenth-century-style metals industry on the Moon. The +combustion of oxygen, which had been the basis for metal-working +on Earth deep into the Twentieth Century, was not a workable +proposition on the Moon, even if a combustible fuel could be +found. Only three sources of industrial energy could be found. +Electricity could be generated in various ways, or nuclear +fission or thermonuclear fusion could be used. Some hoped +that a fusionable isotope of helium could be mined on the Moon. + +Krafft Ehricke had worked out a nuclear-fission economy for +the Moon, but it was realized that a thermonuclear-fusion +economy would be far better. For the rest, the standard +handbooks of physics and chemistry already existing in the 1980s +were most helpful. + +The policy decided upon was this. As every school-child +knows his ABCs in 2036, production of inorganic materials is a +matter of what most back in the 1980s still referred to as the +available temperatures of production processes. If the highest +industrial temperatures then in general use, could be increased +by an absolute factor of slightly less than ten times existing +modes, there was no material in the solar system which can not +be reduced to a plasma form under such conditions. Back in the +1980s, we had only two ways in sight for doing this effeciently, +thermonuclear fusion and coherent electromagnetic pulses of high +frequency, and very high energy-density cross-section of impact +upon targetted materials. + +The problem which the project's leaders faced then, was +that if we reduce material to its plasma state, how do we handle +it. The answer is familiar to every school-child in 2036, but +it was a major problem for the scientists back in 1989. The key +to the solution was obviously lessons learned in experimental +efforts to develop thermonuclear fusion as a source of power. + +If was clear from the beginning of the project, that if the +schedules set for Mars colonization were to be realized, it was +indispensable to accelerate thermonuclear-fusion development and +development of techniques associated with high-frequency lasers +and particle beams. The development of the gamma-ray laser was +given much higher priority through these decisions. The +decision was made, to achieve what were called then "second +generation" thermonuclear fusion technologies by the middle of +the Twenty First Century's first decade, and to put accelerated +efforts behind mastery of techniques for production of materials +using electromagnetically confined plasmas. + +The fact that we were obliged to force the development of +advanced technologies then on the horizon, in order that we +might solve the materials-production problems we faced on the +Moon, greatly accelerated our civilization's development of +newer types of ceramics. We did not have the development of +ceramic materials of anomalous crystalline structures on the list +of project requirements at the start, but once we recognized the +advantages of materials so novel to us at that time, we added +the forced development of these technologies to our project. + +In the same way, we were forced to develop the early +varieties of laser machine-tools in general use in 2036, to be +able to machine these new materials. Our project brought the +techniques of electromagnetic isotope separation up to a level of +refinement still considered modern today. + +It was the success of these breakthroughs in fusion, lasers, +and very-high energy-dense production processes, which made the +industrialization of the Moon such a brilliant success. It was +by perfecting these methods and processes for the +industrialization of the Moon that we solved in advance the major +problems we would have otherwise faced during the initial +colonization of Mars. The building-up of the Moon's +industrialization was the major factor forcing us to delay the +beginning of Mars colonization until 2027. Had we not developed +the technologies needed for industrialization of the Moon, as we +did, the colonization of Mars would have been delayed by a +decade or more. + +Some of the 1985-1986 plans included a heavy emphasis on new +directions in biology, but without the desperate fight Earth had +to mobilize against the AIDS pandemic, it is doubtful that many +supporters of our Mars colonization project would have been won +over to supporting this line of research to the degree which +later proved necessary, once the Mars colonization had begun. +So, today, we are able to incorporate the benefits of this +research into designs of systems for manned deep-space +explorations. and have overcome most of the fears of possible +strange diseases which might be encountered, or might develop, +in our further explorations and colonizations of space. + +It was not until the late 1990s, that the last significant +political opposition to the costliness of the Mars-colonization +project was overcome. + +We began the project in 1989, under what might seem to have +been the worst economic conditions for such an undertaking. +Over the preceding twenty-five years, most of the world had been +caught in a long process of economic decline, which we described +then as a drift into a "post-industrial society." In many of +the then-industrialized nations, the average income of +households had fallen to about 70% of the real purchasing power +of 1966 and 1967. Entire industries which had existed during +the 1960s, had either been wiped out or nearly so, in many of +these nations. The basic economic infrastructure, such things +as water-management and sanitation systems, general +transportation of freight, energy systems, and educational and +health-care systems, were in a state of advanced decay. To +cover over the collapse of incomes, a massive spiral of +borrowing had occurred in all sectors of government, production, +and households; a terrible financial crisis had built up. + +Those who pushed the Mars colonization project the most, +including the President of the United States, did not view the +project as a way of spending a large surplus of wealth. It was +seen by them as a way of helping to revive a decaying economy, +and also a way of showing all mankind that our species has +meaningful opportunities for present and future generations, +opportunities as limitless as the universe itself. + +At first, many grumbled political objections against the +large sums of money spent. As the citizens saw new industries +and employment opportunities opening up as a result of the Mars +project, the political support for the project grew. Over the +course of the first ten years, the project grew in importance as +a technological stimulant to the growth of economies. Then, +the first decade of the Twenty-First Century, there were waves of +revolutionary improvements in methods of production; many of +these benefits were the direct result of using the new space +technologies in everyday production back on Earth. The +political opposition to the project's cost vanished. + +One of the first of the developing nations to join Japan, +the U.S., and western Europe, in the project, was India. The +next were Argentina and Brazil. The project's leaders and +sponsors showed wisdom in encouraging participation in their own +programs by young scientists from many nations. The fact that +we may be so confident that general war has disappeared from +Earth in 2036, can be credited to the Mars colonization project +to a large degree. The rate of technological advancement and +increase of wealth in the nations which undertook the project +from the start, has been such that no potential adversary would +think of attacking them. + +As it became clearer to everyone that there were going to be +large permanent colonies in Mars during the middle of the Twenty- +First Century, the general idea of developing the worst deserts +of Earth worked its way into policies of governments. Africa, +whose population-level collapsed by more than 100 millions during +the course of the AIDS pandemic, is growing again, and only the +Sahel region, but large stretches of the Sahara are blooming +areas with new, modern cities. + +No one talks of over-population any more. The idea off +transforming the Earth-sized moon of Saturn, Titan, into a new +colony, beginning forty to fifty years from now, is already +more popular than the colonization of Nars was, back during the +late 1980s. Titan's atmosphere is poisonous, but we can +forsee ourselves gaining the kinds of technologies needed to +Earth-form a planetary body of that sort. The strongest voice +for this is coming from the Mars colonists, who now say that +they find everything delightful on Mars but its uncomfortably low +gravity. There is also big pressure for such new major space- +projects from circles tied closely to the Moon industrialization +program; they say that Moon industries are ripe for a major new +challenge. + +The Mars colony will be almost self-sustaining within +another ten years. No one on Earth worries any more about +Earth's continued subsidy of the colony; who doubts today, that +the economic benefits area already vastly greater than the +amounts we have spent. There are now over two hundred space-craft +travelling back and forth between the orbits of Earth and Mars, +and with each journey, more going to Mars, than returning. We +expect the population to reach over a million within a few +years. We wonder if more than a handful living back in the +late 1980s dreamed how much their decisions would change not only +the world, but the solar system, for the better, within two +generations. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

His speech was tran- +scribed word-for-word from a microcassette recording. + + "For those of you who don't know who I am, I was raised in a +military family. My family, my ancestors, since they came to +this country, have been government people. We have served in the +military, we have been patriots, we have fought in all the wars, +we care about this country and believe in the constitution of the +United States. We know, as many people don't know, that the Con- +stitution of the United States of America is the United States of +America! And that's why we've always been ready to do the things +needed to preserve and protect it. + "When I left home I went into the Air Force, the Strategic +Air Command. As a child I'd heard stories from my father and pi- +lots, other pilots, my father was a pilot, about Foo Fighters, +UFOs, strange craft that were not made on this Earth. And as a +kid, you hear that in passing, and it's neat, and you giggle +about it, and you go out and play 'Space Man,' and you forget it. + "When I was in the Air Force I met men who had participated +in alien crashed-craft recoveries. Now this intrigued me, it in- +terested me, but it was usually after quite a few bottles of beer +that these stories would come out, and sometimes the next morning +I couldn't remember what the heck the guy said. + "When I left the Air Force I went into the Navy, and this is +where everything began to happen for me. I had originally in- +tended to just go from service to service and do something that +very few people have ever done before. I was a very adventurous, +very crazy ... young man, and I thought that that would be a +pretty exciting life. I volunteered for submarines, and while on +the submarine USS Tyroot, SS-416, on a transit between the Port- +land/Seattle area and Pearl Harbor, which was our home port; the +Pearl Harbor sub base, as the port lookout I saw a craft, saucer- +shaped, the size of a Midway class carrier, aircraft carrier, for +those of you who don't know how big that is; it's huge, come up +out of the water approximately two and a half nautical miles off +the port bow, which is about 45 degrees to the left of the pointy +end of the submarine. It tumbled slowly on its own axis, and +went up into the clouds. It appeared to be moving slowly to me +at a distance of two and a half nautical miles, but in reality it +was moving pretty fast because it came up out of the water, did a +few tumbles, and it was gone! + "I then reported it to the officer of the deck. I didn't +tell him what it was that I saw because my Daddy didn't raise no +fools and in case nobody else saw it I didn't want to be the only +looney on board the ship. So I asked the officer of the deck to +help me cover that area, and he did, which is common for officers +and lookouts to help each other while on bridge watch because +they all hang together if something bad happens. After a few +seconds of watching, the same craft, or another craft exactly +like it, came down out of the clouds, tumbled again on its own +axis, and went into the water. Ensign Ball, who was the officer +of the deck, was literally shocked! What could I say? Seaman +Dejeralimo, who was the starboard lookout, had also witnessed +this, and Ensign Ball called the captain to the bridge who was +followed by the chief quartermaster who brought a 35MM camera, +and we watched for between seven and 10 minutes the same craft, +or different craft that looked exactly alike, enter and leave the +water. It was an incredible show. I don't know if they knew we +were there, or if they even cared, but the craft did not glow, +they were metal, they were machines without a doubt, they were +obviously intelligently guided, they were huge, and having been +in the Air Force and the Navy and knowing what it takes, I knew +without a doubt, and know it today, that that machine was not +made on the face of this earth. Because there's nothing that man +can make, that can fly through the air at a speed like that, tum- +ble on its own axis, and enter the water and effectively fly be- +neath the sea. + "If you've ever been aboard an airplane and then gone aboard +a submarine, I know there's probably some of you in this room who +have visited a submarine at one time or another, you can readily +see just without even any of the technicalities involved how dif- +ficult such a thing would be to do. Where would it be built, +that size? It was absolutely incredible. It changed my life be- +cause then all the stories that I'd heard all my life I knew were +true, and I began seeing the world in a different light. + "It wasn't long after that I was trained by Naval security +in intelligence. I was sent to Vietnam. I was assigned as a pa- +trol boat captain, first in DaNang harbor, given a crew, given a +multi-million dollar patrol boat. My job was to gather intelli- +gence from the people who lived around the harbor and the fisher- +men who transited the harbor, and maintain the safety and secu- +rity of the harbor and the shipping. After about five months I +was sent up North to the DMZ, to a place called Qua Vieaf [sp], +on the Tacan [sp] river. Our base camp was at the river mouth. +We were only three miles south of the North Vietnamese border and +our job was to patrol the Tacan river from the river mouth to +Dang Ha [sp], and then up the Quang Tree [sp] cutoff to Quang +Tree city, again to get to know the people on the bank, gather +intelligence, and to patrol every night and maintain the safety +and security of the river and the river traffic. + "It was while there that I discovered that there was a +tremendous amount of UFO and alien activity in Vietnam. It was +always reported in official messages as 'enemy helicopters.' Now +any of you who know anything about the Vietnam war know that the +North Vietnamese did not have any helicopters, especially after +our first couple of air raids into North Vietnam. Even if they +had they would not have been so foolish as to bring them over the +DMZ because that would have insured their demise. Our troops +were fired on occasionally by these 'enemy helicopters,' enemy +troops were fired on occasionally by these 'enemy helicopters,' +and occasionally people would disappear. And on one instance +that I know for sure at least one entire village disappeared one +night because of alien activity. The reason they used the term +'enemy helicopters' in messages and dispatches was that in Viet- +nam you could be overrun at any time, no matter where you where. +They did not bring crypto encoding equipment into Vietnam, I'm +talking about the machinery. What we did is we had crypto ta- +bles, and once we every 24 hours those codes would be no good. +So that's what we used. We also, because of the inability to use +crypto transmitting equipment, had to devise code words such as +'enemy helicopters.' + "When I left Vietnam I was eventually attached to the head- +quarters staff of the Commander in Chief of the United States Pa- +cific Fleet at Macalappa, [sp] Hawaii, which is a little hill +overlooking Pearl Harbor, it's a beautiful white building up +there, and I was specifically attached to the Intelligence Brief- +ing Team of the Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific +Fleet. + "It was during this tour of duty that, in the course of my +duties, documents were placed in my hands that were so unbeliev- +able and so incredible that it took me quite a while to adjust to +the fact that what I was seeing was real. Now for those of you +who don't understand how I could come to see this information, +let me give you a little short course in security clearance and +the need to know and how you get to see classified information if +you're in the military or in the government, it doesn't matter +which, the rules are the same. + "No. 1, you need a security clearance, and you've got to +have clearance at the level that the information you want to see +is classified at. In this instance it was classified 'Top Se- +cret, Magic, Restricted Information,' which I came to find out +later is the highest security classification in the Nation. To +get that type of clearance, all you have to have is a Federal Bu- +reau of Investigation background check, which takes about six +months and they send federal agents to your home, to your old +schools, to all your teachers, to your friends, to everybody you +put down on your security clearance forms, to all your old ad- +dresses, your neighbors, everybody that you've worked for, and +it's embarrassing because they don't tell them what they're +checking on. They just show them their identification and start +asking questions and that's when you find out who's your friend +and who's not, because a lot of people get scared and think, +'Bill just robbed a bank and I'm not talking to him anymore.' + "Now once you get that it's called a 'B.I.' and for those of +you who have received a copy of my service record look on the +first page, the DD-214 where it says 'Security Clearance,' you +will see the term 'B.I.' That's a 'Bureau of Investigation' +clearance. Now at that point, you have the clearance for every- +thing including Top Secret and above. What determines what you +get to see is your need to know, and the job that you have deter- +mines what your need to know is. + "I was assigned to the Intelligence Briefing Team of the +Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, who had to +know everything concerning his area of operations which was one +half of the Earth's surface; the Indian ocean, the Pacific ocean, +and all the land masses in between. Believe it or not, if we go +to war, if we ever go to war, it's the United States Navy that +strikes the first blow and attempts to keep the enemy at bay +while we can get ourselves together, at least historically. Nu- +clear weapons have kind of done away with that concept, but mili- +tary commanders like to talk about it anyway. + "Because of this, and you have no conception of the amount +of material and information that an area commander has to know; +it's unbelievable, and he has to keep track of this, he has to +keep on top of it. He has to know what's happening; he has to +make the right decisions. Because it's almost humanly impossible +for anyone to do that, they have what's called a briefing team, +and it's our job to make sure that he has the correct informa- +tion, all the time, on a 24-hour basis. And every morning, be- +tween 8 and 9 a.m., we would give a briefing which covered every- +thing that happened in the previous 24 hours, and everything +scheduled to happen in the next 24 hours, and all the pertinent +intelligence reports that we had received since the last briefing +that he needed to know and that his staff members needed to know. +Occasionally we would get messages marked 'Top Secret, Magic, Re- +stricted Information,' and it would be coded in such a way that +all you had were answers to questions which you didn't know what +the questions were so you really didn't know what the message was +all about. + "But eventually I found myself in possession, holding two +documents; one called 'Project Grudge,' another one called +'Operation Majority.' Project Grudge contained the history of +alien involvement since around 1936, and it began talking about +Germany's involvement with a crashed disk that they had recovered +in 1936 and were attempting to duplicate the technology. They +were not successful despite what all these Nazi hunters want to +tell you. If they had been successful, we would not have won the +war, because you cannot beat those weapons! You cannot out fly +those craft, you can't even think about it with conventional air- +craft. If Germany had been successful, we would now have a Ger- +man flag up in front of this podium. + "They did make some headway. When we went into Punta Mundy +[sp] we captured documents, we got some scientists, we got some +hardware. The Russians also got some documents, some scientists, +and some hardware. It wasn't until 1947 that we were able to +capture a craft, a whole craft, not all together but it was ev- +erything. And that occurred near the city of Roswell, New Mex- +ico. There were dead aliens recovered from the craft. In Pro- +ject Grudge I saw photographs of these dead aliens, of the craft; +I saw photographs of live aliens; I saw photographs of autopsies, +internal organs; I saw photographs of the alien designated 'E.B.' +[or Ebe], which was held in captivity from 1949 until June 2, +1952, when he died. I saw the history of what they had been able +to at that time put together, from incidents in the 1800s, which +involved aliens and their craft. + "I saw the names of projects. I saw a project that was to +fly recovered alien craft that had been recovered intact and un- +damaged, and some of them were recovered intact and undamaged, +and how that happened I have no idea. It was called 'Project +Redlight,' and first was conducted from the Tonopah test range in +the Nevada test sight and then was moved to a specially built +area, ordered built by president Eisenhower, called 'Area-51,' +code named 'Dreamland,' in the Groom [sp] dry lake area of the +Nevada test sight, by secret executive order. It doesn't exist +officially, if you ask anyone, or if you write letters to the +government they will tell you it doesn't exist. However if you +go out there at several places and see it, fly outside the bound- +aries and look down and see it, you know it's there, but accord- +ing to the government it doesn't exist. + "The project to fly, test fly these craft, was ongoing until +sometime in 1962 when a craft blew up not far from the test +sight, in the air, and the explosion was seen over a three-state +area. The pilots were killed, they had no idea what had happened +or why the craft blew up, but they put Project Redlight on hold +until a later date when the aliens supplied us with three craft +and personnel to help us learn how to fly these craft. That pro- +ject is ongoing, and we now have not only alien craft that we are +flying, we have craft we have built, using the captured technol- +ogy, and some of the UFOs that people report seeing in the United +States, and maybe even elsewhere, are flown by United States per- +sonnel. + "That may come as a shock to you. We have technology way +beyond the limits of what we have been told. A lot of our devel- +opment technologically, since the end of World War II, has been +due to the exchange of technology which occurs in the area called +'Area-51' on a regular basis ... ongoing. + "When James Oberth, Professor Oberth retired, many of you +don't know who he is ... not too many space people in here. Pro- +fessor Oberth was probably one of the greatest rocket scientists +and space commentators that ever lived. When he retired, the +government gave him a special award, there was a press confer- +ence, all kinds of ceremony, and when he got up to speak he said, +'Gentlemen,' and I quote Professor Oberth, he said, 'Gentlemen, +we cannot take credit for all the technological developments that +we have had in the last decade. We have had help,' and that's +where he stopped. + "One of the reporters raised his hand and said, 'Professor +Oberth, can you tell us what other country helped us?' + "He said, 'It was those little guys from out in space,' and +then he got down and would not comment any further. Now this oc- +curred in 1959. I can go on and on, but time doesn't allow it. + "I will tell you ladies and gentlemen that there are all +kinds of things going on all the time, we are making rapid +progress in exposing this. Since I have begun talking, people +have been coming out of the woodwork at a rapid rate, who know +and have pieces of this puzzle, and are helping us to put it to- +gether, because I don't have all the answers. I saw an awful lot +of material, I have remembered an awful lot of it, I have proba- +bly, in my remembering, made some mistakes, and I guarantee you +they're minor ones, if I have. + "We have just recently, for those of you who didn't believe +that the Jason Society of the Jason Scholars, the secret group, +existed, we now have a letter from the Pentagon, with 51 names of +the Jason Scholars, an admission from the Pentagon that they hold +the highest security clearances in the nation, an admission from +the Pentagon that they hold the protocol rank of Rear Admiral, +and are treated as such on any military installation or in any +government office. There are six Nobel Prize winners on that +list, there are the elite of the elite of the scientific world, +they are the only ones who really know the truth about the tech- +nology today and about the real science of physics, because the +one that we're being taught all the time ... If you send your +kids to college to learn physics you're wasting your money be- +cause they're teaching them stuff that doesn't work, it's not +true, it's not real. Gravity is not what we think it is. There +is a Unified Theory! We already know what it is; it's what makes +these craft work. It's absolutely incredible what's going on. + "How many of you keep up with Billy Goodman's show on KVEG +out of Las Vegas? For those of you who don't, I would try tuning +in on any night between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. It's 840 on your AM +dial, and the subject every night are those subjects that no +other media person in the United States will touch with a 10-foot +pole, every single night except Saturday night. It's the only +show that you can call in and talk to another caller, you've got +three minutes to say whatever you want to say as long as you +don't cuss or swear or slander anyone, and every night they're +helping to expose this. + "When John Lear and I first said what was going on out at +Groom Lake everybody said, 'You're nuts, there's nothing going on +out at Groom Lake!' The listeners of the Billy Goodman radio show +put together an excursion and went up to Groom Lake and they all, +ever since, every night, they go up there and watch them test fly +the alien craft ... every night! The first night they had 100 +people there. And 100 people saw four alien craft fly, doing +things that no airplane and no helicopter can do. Now they don't +tell us anymore that there's nothing happening at Groom Lake. +What they tell us now is there's no such thing as aliens, it's +all government secret projects. That's OK because we'll prove +that wrong too eventually, it just takes a while. Because where +we were ... it's not where we're at, and I'm really happy about +that. + "Now, if you want to see what's happening right now, keep +watching your movies, keep watching your television commercials, +your alien programs on television, read Whitley Strieber's +Majestic, which is a part of the contingency plan called +'Majestic' to test the reaction of the population to the presence +of aliens on the Earth. And I have just finished my study of +Whitley Strieber's book Majestic, and I'm going to tell you right +now that most of the documents in there, that he says are +fiction, are real documents that came right out of Project +Grudge. It is part of the government's campaign to leak informa- +tion out in ways that they can always deny that it's real. +There's only one thing wrong with the information in that book, +the stories of the characters in there I know nothing about. +What I'm talking about are the supposed government documents that +he has in that book. I'm telling you tonight they're real. +Those are some of the same documents that I saw in Project Grudge +back between 1970 and 1973, and where we have wondered before, +now we know that Whitley Strieber is working for the government. +And we had a suspicion anyway because in the front of his book he +states that he got information and was helped by the research +team of Moore, Shanderey, and Friedman. William Moore has pub- +licly admitted on July 1 that he is an agent of the United States +Government, and we know that the others are too. + "This is going to come out, and the reason they're doing it +the way they're doing it is they know eventually you're going to +find out that it's all true and real. They're desensitizing you +so that you're not shocked, so that there's no collapse of soci- +ety as we know it, so that the religious structure doesn't fall +to pieces, so that the stock market doesn't go crazy, because +these were their original fears. Now, there's nothing we can do +about the last one because it's already happened, there will be a +segment of the population that worships the aliens, even though +they're no different than us; they're just from somewhere else, +and they may look a little different. They are not gods. But +there are already people worshiping the aliens and they predicted +this would happen when they slapped the secret stamp all over all +this stuff. + "You know, there's really nothing wrong with what's been +happening except for three things. [Cooper forgot to mention the +third thing, or was sidetracked, or included it into the second +thing.] + "No. 1, when they decided to keep it secret they needed to +finance it, they couldn't tell the public, so they couldn't tell +Congress. They decided to finance it with the sale, importation +and sale, of drugs. Now in the documents that I read, in Opera- +tion Majority, it specifically stated that when George Bush was +the president and CEO of Sapata [sp] Oil, he, in conjunction with +the CIA, organized the first large-scale drug importation into +this country from South and Central America by fishing boat, to +the offshore oil platforms of Sapata Oil, and then from there +into the beach, thus bypassing all Customs inspections and law- +enforcement inspections of any kind. They are still bringing in +drugs, to a limited extent, in this manner. Another manner is by +CIA contract aircraft which, one of their bases of landing is +Homestead [sp] Air Force Base in Florida. We have affidavits +from air controllers who have vectored the planes in, who have +made sure that they're not interfered with in any way. We have +affidavits from personnel at Homestead Air Force Base who say the +planes have been met by Jeb Bush, who is George Bush's son. We +have affidavits from people who work in the Gulf of Mexico, in +the offshore oil business, that yes indeed, the drugs are coming +in, at least some of them, from the offshore oil platforms." + From the audience came a clear statement, "Just say no?" + "Pardon? Right! Just Say No! Well that's what we're going +to do ladies and gentlemen with your help. We are going to say +no, no more! And you have to do it, you have to act. You either +have to act or watch your country go down the tubes. + "Now, that's one of the things that's wrong. The next thing +that's wrong is, to keep the secret, they killed a lot of people +who tried to leak it out. And if I hadn't done it the way that I +did it, you wouldn't be seeing me anywhere standing or walking on +this Earth now. They killed President Kennedy and during the +workshop, for those of you haven't seen the tape, I will show +you, on the tape, who shot the president and why. Between '70 +and '73, in Operation Majority it stated verbatim that President +Kennedy ordered MJ-12 to cease the importation and sale of drugs +to the American people, that he ordered them to implement a plan +to reveal the presence of aliens to the American people within +the following year. His assassination was ordered by the policy +committee of the Vilderbergers. MJ-12 implemented the plan and +carried it out in Dallas. It involved agents of the CIA, Divi- +sion-5 of the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Office of Naval +Intelligence. President Kennedy was killed by the driver of his +car, his name was William Greer, he used a recoilless, electri- +cally operated, gas-powered assassination pistol that was spe- +cially built by the CIA to assassinate people at close range. It +fired an explosive pellet which injected a large amount of shell- +fish poison into the brain, and that is why, in the documents, it +stated that President Kennedy's brain was removed. If you've +studied the case, you will find that indeed his brain disap- +peared. The reason for that is so that they would not find the +particles of the exploding pellet or the shellfish poison in his +brain which would have proved conclusively that Lee Harvey Oswald +was not the assassin. In fact, Lee Harvey Oswald never fired a +shot, he was the patsy." + Mr. Cooper paused briefly, and a lady in the audience asked +the obvious question, "Why haven't you been assassinated?" + "If they were to kill me right now, what would you think?" +Cooper posed. + "That it's the truth," several people chimed. + "I've got them right where I want them. If they touch me, +everyone who has ever heard me talk is going to be absolutely en- +raged and is going to know that everything I've said is true. As +long as they don't touch me there's going to be some of you who +are always going to be wondering. But eventually we're going to +bring enough proof out, and if you're here during the workshop +you're going to see an awful lot of it that's going to prove to +you that it's true. It's real. And it's happening! + "Okay, I've tried to cover a lot of stuff, just briefly, be- +cause there's no time in 45 minutes to get into anything very +much." + Mr. Cooper then announced the scheduled workshop session the +following day in which tangible proofs could be seen but the +transcriber was unable to attend. He then opened up the floor to +questions and answers. + A muffled question was barely heard coming from the front of +the room, which in essence asked, "What about all the people in +the press and others who were in Dallas and who saw the assassi- +nation? Couldn't they tell where the shot came from? Why didn't +they come forward? There must have been plenty." + "There was, we know that there was at least 18 who were all +murdered within two years of the event. The odds of that happen- +ing are 1 in 300,000 trillion," Cooper replied. + Again a muffled question, "Why did the driver have to shoot +Kennedy?" + "Because the other fools missed! There were a total of three +shots fired at President Kennedy, one hit him in the throat and +didn't kill him and two of them hit John Connelly [sp]. The one +that was fired from the grassy knoll hit the president in the +throat. The other two shots came from directly behind the limou- +sine, not the school book depository building, and hit Governor +Connelly. Governor Connelly, in intelligence community circles, +is known as a 'can do' man, because he took two hits and still +kept his mouth shut." + "How is it that the driver, sitting on the front, left-hand +side of the car was able to blow off the right side of Kennedy's +brain when the bullet actually entered in, and it would have been +virtually impossible ..." another person asked. + Mr. Cooper seized the gist of his question and injected, +"For those of you who have been listening to all these talk show +hosts, whose job it is to be a talk show host, and who have not +done any legitimate research into this, if you come to the work- +shop, I will show you, on the tape, how it was done. You will +see that Kennedy was, in fact slumped over against Jackie, his +head was turned [this direction], it was very simple, it was easy +and you will see it with your own eyes." + Another muffled, off-mike question from a member of the au- +dience inquiring why no one else had come forward with the infor- +mation Mr. Cooper was disseminating, and why those who knew it +had kept it secret for so long was quickly answered, "It hasn't +been, I'm talking about it now. Bill English was talking about +it eight years ago, but everybody laughed at Bill English. John +Lear's been talking about it for three years, and everybody +laughed at him. Now there's so many people have been talking +about it, people are starting to listen, and it's about time. +Because it's about time we that we quit being fools, and that's +exactly what they think we are, and we prove it to them every +day." + The next question dealt with the alien technology and asked +in essence, "Hasn't any one else [other than the government] come +up with the energy technology that the aliens have?" to which Mr. +Cooper answered, "There's been quite a few people who've come up +with it and they've all been stopped, and they'll all continue to +be stopped. Because once you have it you have free energy. Once +you have free energy they no longer have power over you. You un- +derstand? That's why they stop it." + Another question asking, "In the film of the assassination, +which was examined greatly by experts, why didn't they conclude +that Kennedy's driver shot him?" to which Cooper asked, "Examined +by whom greatly? Most of the film that you can purchase has that +segment cut out, and you can always tell it by the person running +in the background, they'll run up to here ... all of a sudden +they'll be down here ... running. You will see in most of the +clips that you've ever seen on television, or in the movies, or +that you're able to get your hands on, you'll see William Greer +start to turn like this ..." then a muffled comment from the au- +dience, then Cooper answered, "That's because they clipped it +out! And on a lot of them, I'll bet you most of you, every time +you've seen the clip on television, never looked at the driver +anyway. If you're really honest with yourself, and with me, you +know your eyes were right on Kennedy." + A woman asked if any of the alien technology was being used +in present-day military equipment and was answered, "Yes, there's +a lot of alien technology contained in the Stealth bomber, that's +right. The Stealth fighter was flying for 10 years before you +even knew it existed." + As the hour drew late another question, more clearly stated, +was asked of Mr. Cooper, "Before you let us all out of here, +there's a bunch of us here wondering what can we all do to help +bring this all out?" + A single word, "revolt," issued from several listeners si- +multaneously, but Cooper responded, "Don't revolt. What you need +to do is what you should have been doing all along. You need to +get involved with your government. The first thing you need to +do is purchase a copy of the Constitution, which I know that most +of you don't have anywhere in your house, and if I were to go +around this room and ask each person what the Constitution says, +most of you couldn't tell me what the Constitution says from your +grocery bill. And that's the truth! And that is your country! +So if you don't know what your Constitution is you're dead al- +ready, so the first thing you do is you get a copy of your Con- +stitution. The second thing you do is you learn it! The third +thing you do is you start calling your senators and your repre- +sentatives, and the President of the United States and you start +leaning on them, and you tell them, 'Unless you straighten up the +government, and unless we start getting the truth, and I mean the +whole truth, and no more of this baloney, this is the last job +you're ever going to have, period. And I'll do everything in my +power to make sure that comes true.' And then write them, fre- +quently, saying the same thing. And then when they're in your +area, in their area offices, take a little delegation and go see +them, and make them understand that they're going to be living in +poverty because they're not going to have a job anymore come +election day. You see, the secret government may own the execu- +tive branch, but you people, all of us, we own the Congress, and +the Congress makes the laws, and the Congress can impeach the en- +tire executive branch! You also have the right to petition the +government for a redress of injuries. So you are powerful, +you've just forgotten that you're powerful, you've forgotten that +that vote that you haven't been doing every time election comes +around, that vote has abdicated your power. That vote you did +not cast abdicated your power and gave it to those who are sub- +verting the Constitution and are ruining this country." + A gentleman then asked, "What was traded to the aliens for +their technology?" + "People and animals," replied Cooper succinctly. + Another man asked, "Is the Soviet Union in on any of this?" + "The Soviet Union and the United States of America have been +close allies since the end of World War II and have been closely +participating in the secret space program all this time. The So- +viets have the same thing we have, yes. What you see happening +in the Soviet block right now is not the result of people stand- +ing up and saying, 'We want to be free.' It's the result of the +international bankers saying, 'You tear down these barriers, and +you meet the West half way, give your people some freedom, the +West is going to take some freedom away from their people so that +we can put together a one-world economic system ... and have all +the power. That's what's happening! If you don't believe it, +stick around and watch it!" + A dubious woman then asked, "Why was the shellfish poison +necessary? A lot of his brain was blown off anyway." + Cooper: "The shellfish poison? If you go to kill someone, +one thing I've learned, I learned it real good, I learned it es- +pecially good when I went to Vietnam; just because you shoot +someone doesn't mean they're going to die. And if they don't +die, they're going to be mad. And if they've got a gun, you're +dead. So you want the first time to be the last time. So if you +really want to kill somebody you don't play around. If you re- +ally want to kill somebody ... you kill them, you don't play, you +make sure that when you shoot them, they're dead. That way they +can't hurt you, can't hurt you at all." + Regrettably, the next question was totally unintelligible, +but thankfully Mr. Cooper had a good public address system to am- +plify his reply, "The first moon landing was May 22, 1962 ... or +excuse me, that was the first landing on Mars. I'm sorry, May +22, 1962, was the winged probe that used a hydrozine propeller, +flew around approximately three orbits and landed on May 22, +1962, was a joint United States/Russian endeavor. The first time +that we landed on the moon was sometime during the ... probably +middle 50s, because at the time when President Kennedy stated +that he wanted a man to set foot on the moon by the end of the +decade we already had a base there." + "What about Mars?" came another quick question. + "We have a base on Mars also," Cooper calmly replied. + "When did that happen?" + "I don't know the exact date but I know the project's name, +it was 'Adam and Eve.'" + "How long have you known about this?" + "Well, I revealed it publicly for the first time on July 2, +1989, and within three weeks of the time I revealed it publicly, +the government, to get the American people not to listen to me, +came out and said that they planned to build a base on the moon +and a colony on Mars. Now, three days previous to my speech, +representatives from NASA said, 'We can never have a colony on +Mars, it's impossible that there's a colony on Mars because Mars +is a dead planet.' And it's not a dead planet, they've lied to +you about Mars." + "My name is Dave [unintelligible], I'm a representative of +the Crystic Institute, and I'd like to know why it was that when +we sent a representative down to your home, at your request, you +failed to produce any documentation to substantiate your allega- +tions." + "In the first place it was not at my request, I have never +contacted the Crystic Institute in my life. I was on the Carol +Hemingway Show, she contacted the Crystic institute, she told +Daniel Shehan [sp] that I had just said something about Bush and +drugs on her show. He called me and told me he wanted to send an +investigator, in fact he told me to even help the investigator +because he was new at the job, his name was Wayne Nelson, he is a +very good gentleman, he stayed at my house for two days, slept +overnight on my couch, I gave him everything I had. I never told +Daniel Shehan that I had any documents and I never told Wayne +Nelson that I had any documents. In fact what I told Wayne Nel- +son, and I quote, 'Wayne, if I did have the documents I couldn't +admit it and I don't know you from Adam, and I don't know Daniel +Shehan from Adam and what makes you think I would give them to +you.' Who am I going to give them to and how quick are they +going to disappear, that was my thought. Wayne Nelson also came +to my house with a stack of documents this thick already +substantiating the presence of aliens and extraterrestrial craft +on this planet, and they are keeping it a secret, because they're +afraid somebody'll laugh at them and they'll loose their +credibility. + "We need some patriots in this country, not people trying to +make a name for themselves, trying to expose some drug runners, +because those are just the bag-men. The real crook is in the +White House! And you can tell that to Daniel Shehan!" + "Why didn't Jackie Kennedy report [the source of the lethal +shot]?" asked another audience member. + "Who's she going to tell? The Secret Service just killed her +husband, and they're assigned to protect the president. Also, +who had her children? The same Secret Service had her children at +the time." + "Wasn't the craft at Roswell, New Mexico, destroyed and all +the aliens killed?" another young man asked. + "All the aliens were dead but the craft was not completely +destroyed, it was severely damaged yes." + On an unrelated note an older gentleman asked, "Does that +mean that Alternative-3 is true?" + "Alternative-3 is absolutely true and so is Alternative-2." + Then a man in his late 20s or early 30s raised his hand, +said something unintelligible, and was apparently recognized by +Mr. Cooper, who asked him to take the podium and address the au- +dience. + "What I said was that I thanked him [Cooper] very much for +coming forward and saying something. A lot of my friends out +here know that I was involved in the United States Special +Forces, UFO Tracking and Research from the years 1971 to 1975. +My name is Richard Murray, I was based out of the 71st Tac Con- +trol Flight, McDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida. We were +'Mobile Radar Command,' that was combat and war ready. We could +be loaded on aircraft within an hour and many times were taken +into areas [to] set up radar. A lot of times we were set up +around Egland [sp] Air Force Base because that's where they have +the 'Altered Temperature Weather Control,' where they can test +various aircraft for their shrinkage and their dimension change +during altered temperature. So, you know, I was told to shut up +twice in 1982 and they finally threatened my parents life so I +stayed quiet, and, that's when Wendel Stevens was taken off the +streets ... Just like that! And I hid for quite awhile, and de- +cided to come back out when I heard that you're [Cooper] of such +high rank as you were, and I felt just in saying that your cre- +dentials are true, and that what you have to say, everything +you've said here today, I've heard before behind closed doors. +And you've really tied the link for me to the Kennedy killing. +And there's a few more links that have to go on with the Columbia +Cartel and the money laundering. I think there's more than one +cartel involved, and they're shutting one of them down so one can +maintain a power, it just seems to be the way it works." + A muffled question then came from someone in the audience +regarding the person referred to as "Colonel Stevens." + "Uh, Colonel Stevens is out of jail now," replied Murray who +was quickly asked another question I couldn't hear to which he +answered, "I sure hope to hell so, he is a wonderful man, and I +give him my utmost respect, and it was one of the saddest days in +my life to see what happened to him happen to him. But I don't +care what they say about Wendel Stevens, in my heart you can't +discredit that man to me. I don't care who the hell you are. I +won't listen to it, I don't give a shit if he was screwing ba- +bies. You know ... that doesn't ... he's not that kind of a man, +I don't care what you say, I know him personally." + The lecture was then essentially over. The "Alternative-2 +and Alternative-3" that were referred to briefly are (just +guessing now) two government contingency plans to 1. Declare +Martial Law and invalidate the Constitution on the premise that a +terrorist group had entered the country with a Nuclear weapon +with plans to detonate it in a major city. All dissidents would +be rounded up and placed in concentration camps and the press and +media would be nationalized. All this if the information becomes +public before they want it to or if the aliens attempt a +takeover, and 2. Another contingency plan to contain or delay the +release of this information, the details of which I am probably +wrong about anyway. + Mr. Cooper is a man who appears to be in his late 40s, of +medium height and weight, and was dressed casually during the +lecture. His hairline was receding slightly, and he carried him- +self with confidence and purpose. Bill Cooper, as he was called +by several in attendance, is not a professional speaker. His +presentation lacked the polish of repeated deliveries which all +the other lectures had during the Expo, but what it lacked in +fine tuning was easily made up for in its content. + + + Appendix A: Operation Majority + + +OPERATION MAJORITY +FINAL RELEASE +THERE WILL BE NO CORRECTIONS TO THIS FILE +(C) COPYRIGHT 1989 BY MILTON WILLIAM COOPER +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED +YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO QUOTE FROM THIS INFORMATION IN PRESS +RELEASES, PERIODICALS, AND SPEECHES. +INCLUSION IN ANY OTHER MEDIA REQUIRES MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMIS- +SION. + + This file contains the absolute true information regarding +the alien presence on Earth and the U.S. Government's involvement +with the aliens. + This file contains only the information as I saw it and only +my information. + It does not contain any information from any other source. + It was necessary for me to issue the information previous to +this release in a manner which would deceive the government until +someone was able to independently confirm my identity, my employ- +ment, my service record, my intelligence background, the identity +of the person to which I gave the information in 1972, his ac- +knowledgment of the information and when it was given to him, +that the information is correct, that I have not seen him since +1974, and that I have not communicated with him in any form since +1976. + This was necessary because this file is my death warrant if +MJ-12 continues to operate in a manner consistent with its his- +tory. + All in the last paragraph has been independently verified by +two different people who have no connection with each other.

The +purpose of Project Grudge was to collect all scientific, techno- +logical, medical and intelligence information from UFO/IAC sight- +ings and contacts with alien life forms. + This orderly file of collected information has been used to +advance the United States Space Program. + MJ-12 is the name of the secret control group. + President Eisenhower commissioned a secret society known as +THE JASON SOCIETY (JASON SCHOLARS) to sift through all the facts, +evidence, technology, lies and deception and find the truth of +the alien question. + The society was made up of 32 of the most prominent men in +the country in 1972 and the top 12 members were designated MJ-12. + MJ-12 has total control over everything. They are desig- +nated by the codes J-1, J-2, etc., all the way through the +members of the Jason Society. + The director of the CIA was appointed J-1 and is the Direc- +tor of MJ-12. + MJ-12 is responsible only to the President. + MJ-12 runs most of the world's illegal drug trade. + This was done to hide funding and thus keep the secret from +the Congress and the people of the United States. + It was justified in that it would identify and eliminate the +weak elements of our society. + The cost of funding the alien connected projects is higher +than anything you can imagine. + MJ-12 assassinated President Kennedy when he informed them +that he was going to tell the public all the facts of the alien +presence. + He was killed by the Secret Service agent driving his car, +and it is plainly visible in the film held from public view. + A secret meeting place was constructed for MJ-12 in MARYLAND +and it was described as only accessible by air. + It contains full living, recreational, and other facilities +for MJ-12 and the JASON SOCIETY. + It is code named "THE COUNTRY CLUB." Only those with TOP +SECRET/MAJIC clearance are allowed to go there. + MAJI is the MAJORITY AGENCY FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE. + All information, disinformation, and intelligence is gath- +ered and evaluated by this agency. + This agency is responsible for all disinformation and oper- +ates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA, and the Defense Intelli- +gence Agency. + This is a very powerful organization, and all alien projects +are under its control. + MAJI is responsible only to MJ-12. + SIGMA is the project which first established communications +with the aliens and is still responsible for communications. + PLATO is the project responsible for diplomatic relations +with the aliens. + This project secured a formal treaty (illegal under the Con- +stitution) with the aliens. + The terms were that the aliens would give us technology. + In return, we agreed to keep their presence on earth a se- +cret, not to interfere in any way with their actions, and to al- +low them to abduct humans and animals. + The aliens agreed to furnish MJ-12 with a list of abductees +on a periodic basis. + MAJIC is the security classification and clearance of all +alien connected material, projects, and information. + MAJIC means MAJI Controlled. + AQUARIUS is a project which compiled the history of alien +presence and their interaction with Homo Sapiens upon this planet +for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque people +who live in the mountainous country on the border of France and +Spain and the Syrians. + GARNET is the project responsible for control of all infor- +mation and documents regarding this subject and accountability of +the information and documents. + PLUTO is a project to evaluate all UFO/IAC information per- +taining to space tel [TRANSMISSION GARBLED] + POUNCE is the project formed to recover all downed/crashed +craft and aliens. + REDLIGHT is the project to test fly recovered alien craft. + It is conducted at AREA 51 (DREAMLAND) in Nevada. + It was aided when the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly +them. + The initial project was somewhat successful in that we flew +a recovered craft, but it blew up in the air, and the pilots were +killed. + The project was suspended at that time until the aliens +agreed to help us. + SNOWBIRD was established as a cover for project REDLIGHT. +Several flying saucer type craft were built using conventional +technology. + They were unveiled to the press and flown in front of the +press. + The purpose was to explain accidental sightings or disclo- +sure of REDLIGHT as having been the SNOWBIRD craft. + LUNA is the alien base on the far side of the Moon. + It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. + A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and +the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as +MOTHER SHIPS exist there. + NRO is the National Recon Organization based at Fort Carson, +Colorado. + It is responsible for security for all alien or alien craft +connected projects. + DELTA is the designation for the specific arm of the NRO, +which is especially trained and tasked with security of these +projects. + JOSHUA is a project to develop a low frequency pulsed sound +generating weapon. + It was said that this weapon would be effective against the +alien craft and beam weapons. + EXCALIBUR is a weapon to destroy the alien underground +bases. It is to be a missile capable of penetrating 1000 meters +of Tuff/hard packed soil such as that found in New Mexico with no +operational damage. + Missile apogee not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL and impact must +not deviate in excess of 50 meters from designated target. + The device will carry a one-megaton nuclear warhead. + ALIENS: There were four types of aliens mentioned in the +papers. A LARGE NOSED GREY with whom we have the treaty, the +GREY reported in abductee cases that works for the LARGE NOSED +GREY, a blond human like type described as the NORDIC, a red +haired human like type called the ORANGE. + The home of the aliens were described as being a star in the +Constellation of Orion, Barnards star, and Zeta Riticuli 1&2. + I cannot remember even under hypnosis which alien belongs to +which star. + EBE is the name or designation given to the live alien cap- +tured at the 1949 Roswell crash. + He died in captivity. + KRLL OR KRLLL OR CRLL OR CRLLL pronounced Crill or Krill was +the hostage left with us at the first Holloman landing as a +pledge that the aliens would carry out their part of the basic +agreement reached during that meeting. + KRLL gave us the foundation of the yellow book which was +completed by the guests at a later date. + KRLL became sick and was nursed by Dr. G. Mendoza who became +the expert on alien biology and medicine. KRLL later died. + His information was disseminated under the pseudonym O.H. +Cril or Crill. + GUESTS were aliens exchanged for humans who gave us the bal- +ance of the yellow book. + At the time I saw the information there were only three left +alive. + They were called (P&#'s) Alien Life Forms. + [TRANSMISSION GARBLED] + RELIGION + The aliens claim to have created Homo Sapiens through hy- +bridization. + The papers said that RH-blood was proof of this. + They further claimed to have created all four major reli- +gions. + They showed a hologram of the crucifixion of Christ which +the government filmed. + They claim that Jesus was created by them. + ALIEN BASES exist in the four corners area of Utah, Col- +orado, New Mexico, and Nevada. + Six bases were described in the 1972 papers, all on Indian +reservations and all in the four corners area. The base near +Dulce was one of them. + MURDER + The documents stated that many military and government per- +sonnel had been terminated (murdered without due process of law) +when they had attempted to reveal the secret. + CRAFT RECOVERIES + The documents stated that many craft had been recovered. + The early ones from Roswell, Aztec, Roswell again, Texas, +Mexico, and other places. + GENERAL DOOLITTLE made a prediction that one day we would +have to reckon with the aliens, and the document stated that it +appeared that General Doolittle was correct. + ABDUCTIONS were occurring long before 1972. + The document stated that humans and animals were being ab- +ducted and or mutilated. + Many vanished without a trace. + They were taking sperm and ova samples, tissue, performed +surgical operations, implanted a spherical device 40 to 80 mi- +crons in size near the optic nerve in the brain and all attempts +to remove it resulted in the death of the patient. + The document estimated that one in every 40 people had been +implanted. + This implant was said to give the aliens total control of +that human. + CONTINGENCY PLAN SHOULD THE INFORMATION BECOME PUBLIC OR +SHOULD THE ALIENS ATTEMPT A TAKEOVER. + This plan called for a public announcement that a terrorist +group had entered the United States with an atomic weapon. + It would be announced that the terrorists planned to deto- +nate the weapon in a major city. + Martial law would be declared and all persons with implants +would be rounded up along with all dissidents and would be placed +into concentration camps. + The press, radio, and TV would be nationalized and con- +trolled. Anyone attempting to resist would be arrested or +killed. + CONTINGENCY PLAN TO CONTAIN OR DELAY RELEASE OF INFORMATION + This plan called for the use of MAJESTIC TWELVE as a disin- +formation ploy to delay and confuse the release of information +should anyone get close to the truth. + It was selected because of the similarity of spelling and +the similarity to MJ-12. + It was designed to confuse memory and to result in a fruit- +less search for material that does not exist. + SOURCE OF MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS WHICH I SAW + The source of the material was an Office of Naval Intelli- +gence counter-intelligence operation against MJ-12 in order for +the Navy to find out the truth of what was really going on. + The Navy (at that time or at least the Navy that I worked +for) were not participants in any of this. + The different services and the government conduct this type +of operation against each other all the time. + The result of this operation was that the Navy cut them- +selves in for a piece of the action (technology) and control of +some projects. + As you can see this file is only a little different from my +previous file. + Only some names were scrambled previously to confuse the +government long enough for someone to verify that what I have +said is the truth. + I have added information in this file that puts me in abso- +lute danger. + I have sent a copy of this file to people all over the coun- +try and will continue to do so. + Please get this file into as many hands as you can and maybe +that will protect me but I doubt it. + HISTORY WILL BE THE JUDGE OF ME AND THIS INFORMATION, AND I +HAVE NO FEAR OF THAT JUDGEMENT. + I SWEAR THAT THIS INFORMATION IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE +BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. + I wish to thank all those people who have aided me in reach- +ing this point and for their patience and understanding. + I owe you all more than I can ever repay. + Finally, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong or +if a project name is in the wrong place. + It does not matter who is working for whom or what is really +what. + It should be obvious by now that something sinister and ter- +ribly wrong is going on involving the government and the UFO phe- +nomenon. + We must all band together and expose it now. + I have done my part in the best manner that I could. + I can add nothing else except my testimony in Congress or a +court of law that what I saw and have written in this file is +true and that I saw it. + Everything in my previous* file that does not conflict with +this file is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and +some of it is from sources and research. + You may combine the files to get the entire picture. + Throw out only that information that conflicts with that +contained in this file. + There will be no further additions or corrections to this +information either now or in the future. + My file is complete and stands to be judged by history. + Sometime in the future the exact papers that I saw will sur- +face, and you will all see this exact information contained +within them. + Milton William Cooper + Jan. 10, 1989 + + + Appendix B: For More Information + + +Cooper's home address and phone number: + +1311 S.

Box 83183 +Stone Mountain, Ga. 30083-0023 +1-404-297-4624 + + + Appendix C: Musings + + + There is some thought that the U.S. Air Force, in conjunc- +tion with the Canadians, has standing orders to deny any UFO +sightings to the public. + Timothy Good, in his book Above Top Secret, states: +"Cooperation between the United States and Canada in the report- +ing of UFOs was laid down, for example, in the Canadian-United +States Communications Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelli- +gence Sightings (CIRVIS) JANAP 146 (E), issued in March 1966 by +the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as the Canadian Defense Staff. +This publication lists instructions for the reporting of +'information of vital importance to the security of the United +States of America and Canada and their forces, which in the opin- +ion of the observer, requires very urgent defensive and/or inves- +tigative action by the U.S. and/or Canadian armed forces.' Sight- +ings within the scope of JANAP 146 include 'Unidentified Flying +Objects' as distinct from 'Hostile of unidentified single air- +craft or formations of aircraft,' and there are lengthy and elab- +orate instructions for reporting UFOs" (Good, 192). + And later he states: "Because of reports like these [UFOs], +airline pilots became subject to military restrictions contained +in a Joint Army-Navy-Air Force Publication (JANAP), drawn up by +the Joint Communications-Electronics Committee, and promulgated +by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and could thus find themselves li- +able to a prison term of up to 10 years and/or a fine of $10,000 +if they discussed their sightings with the media or public" +(Good, 283). + + * * * + + Stan Barrington offers a document about "Operation Majority, +which concerns the dealings of MJ-12. The following discussion, +taken from the alt.conspiracy section of Usenet, focuses on the +validity of those documents: + "What is the latest status of the MJ-12 documents +(concerning authenticity)? I know that Klass did his usual de- +bunking job, but also read that Friedman produced all the sup- +porting evidence Klass had demanded (similar typefaces in use on +other documents of the same era, etc.). Has the U.S. Government +taken a formal position on the MJ-12 documents? What evidence, +pro and con, has been produced on the authenticity issue since +their release. What are the details of the release? Any and all +information will be appreciated. Thanks." + The reply was: "I don't know about the U.S. Government's +position, but Klass has done a pretty good job of showing that +there is at least some fraud in the papers. In particular, he +has shown that the supposed signature of Harry Truman on one of +the critical papers is identical to the signature on another +document in the National Archives, except that it's (if I recall +correctly) 3.6 percent larger. It is impossible for two +signatures to be identical unless one is a photographic copy of +the other, and interestingly, most copying machines do a very +small expansion of what they copy to prevent edge effects--a +blow-up of exactly 1.2 percent. So it would appear this supposed +signature is actually a third-generation photocopy of Truman's +signature. Handwriting experts have confirmed this. I believe +it's written up in the current (Spring 1990) Skeptical Inquirer, +but I can't find my copy at the moment so I can't say for sure." + I don't know who Klass or Friedman are, (although Friedman +may be the same person that was mentioned as a helper in Majestic +by Whitley Strieber, and also mentioned as a government official +in the speech) but the Skeptical Inquirer is a respected paranor- +mal debunking newspaper put out by James "the Amazing" Randi. + It also seems to me that the idea that Truman's signature is +a photocopy of another one in the National Archives is a bit odd. +There must be thousands of Truman signature in the Archives, and +thinking that someone could find the one that exactly matched a +3.6 percent enlargement is laughable (but then again, those same +people find the idea of a huge UFO cover-up laughable). + + * * * + + Whitley Strieber is a strange character in this whole af- +fair. He is the writer of Wolfen and The Howling, two horror +novels. Lately, he turned to writing about UFOs. + His first book on the subject, Communion, deals with his +personal experiences with abduction by an unknown intelligence +(Strieber always tries to avoid the word "alien," so he can leave +the options open that these are humans that are traveling through +time or even an unknown earthly intelligence). His second book, +Transformation, is not as familiar to me, but I have heard that +it is more of the same as Communion, except that it is less well- +supported and deals with a sort of religion of the unknown. +Strieber contends in that book that the "others" (as he calls +them) gave him a sketchy design for an anti-gravity motor that +relies on rotating magnets. + His third book is Majestic. Milton William Cooper mentions +it in his speech. This book follows the Cooper speech closely in +many regards; in fact, sometimes it seems like one is stealing +from the other because they are so close. Strieber writes this +book as fiction, but at the end there is a section in which he +says that the book is based on truth and that the government is +hiding information from the public. He insists that this truth +must be brought out. However, Cooper says that Strieber is work- +ing for the government. He offers some proof to this claim, but +he doesn't really say why the government would hire Strieber to +write Majestic, or whether he was hired before he wrote Communion +and Transformation. All Cooper says is that Strieber is testing +the waters, leaking the information in a way that the government +could deny. + I think that if Strieber works for the government, then it +is mostly likely because the government thinks that people will +not believe anything he writes about UFOs, given his history of +writing horror. Thus, the government has Strieber write some- +thing that is based on truth, and everyone thinks it is coming +from such a bad source that it must be false. + + * * * + + This from Keith Rowell in Oregon: + "You folks interested in Strieber's claims should check out +the book Report on Communion (Morrow, 1989) by Ed Conroy. + "Conroy is a San Antonio-based freelance reporter who wrote +some early articles for the local newspaper and then continued to +explore and investigate till he ended up with a book. He basi- +cally concludes that Strieber's claims are true as far as we now +understand the UFO phenomenon, which is very far from adequate at +this time. (The scholarly and scientific establishment has yet +to honestly and openly embrace the problem of the UFO. Conroy's +book is opening the way for the investigative media people, +though. Things are changing as the UFO issue just refuses to go +away.) You will all hear more and more about the reality status +of UFOs as we go through the 1990s. Intelligence establishment +secrecy is being slowly broken down and the scientific/scholarly +community is slowly putting up less resistance as the years go +by. + "My opinions are based on 15 years of reading the UFO liter- +ature and four years or so of more or less active participation +in the UFO community. It is very hard to understand what is go- +ing on in the UFO community without paying very close attention +to it. The normal sources of news and information cover this +group of people in a very inconsistent and sometimes downright +biased way. You're just going to have to get your feet wet on +this one; otherwise, you'll just being talking through your hat. + "I'll be happy to send via electronic mail my representative +UFO bibliography to anyone who wants it. Lately, new (and sig- +nificant) UFO books are added practically monthly in the past few +years. UFOs are hot again. We seem to be in a peak of activity +again. + "The latest significant book is by Ed Walters on his Gulf- +breeze UFO/photograph experiences, being distributed to your lo- +cal bookstores as I write this." +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Put +simply, the explanations fall into two groups: + + (1) the event is normal and can be explained conventionally, and + + (2) a truly anomalous event is shown. + +Mr. Dale Goudie of the UFO Reporting and Information Service points out what +is perhaps the most important part, certainly a neglected part of the event, +which can be seen if one continues to track the object as it apparently moves +out into space. Note that it * AGAIN * changes direction, back towards the +Earth on yet another trajectory! (This is visible on the Hard Copy segment 3 +minutes, 9 seconds after the start of the segment on NASA tape, when Don +makes the remark "... propulsion system not made in Detroit.") + +If the first change of direction and speed are the result of the shuttle's +maneuvering thrusters as some have theorized, what caused the SECOND change +of trajectory? We believe that this second direction change makes the +"maneuvering jets" explanation untenable. + +We do not understand why this part of the event has not been discussed. Mr. +Dale Goudie mentioned the second change of trajectory prior to the Larry King +Show. during the Laura Lee Show (a Seattle radio call-in show), June 20, +1992, on which Mr. Don Ecker was the featured guest. + +Mr. James Oberg was positioned opposite Mr. Ecker on the Larry king +broadcast. Much was made by all participants of Mr. Oberg's association with +NASA, but no mention was made of his connection to CSCIOP. Mr. Oberg is a +principal member of the UFO Subcommittee of the Committee on the Scientific +Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. He has been described as +"(Phillip) Klass' right hand man." His Air Force career and position at +NASA's Johnson Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston aside, the close +relationship with CSCIOP establishes his position re. UFO. + +Also mentioned as being an anomalous object on a different portion of the +same NASA tape, is the so called "domed disk", which supposedly appeared +under digital video enhancement. If this is a truly anomalous object showing +structure, why has this part of the tape not been center stage? Perhaps +speculation about 'space wars' is more entertaining than mere existence of +anomalous objects in near earth space? + +We believe that speculation about 'interplanetary wars' or SDI technology +being brought to bear on 'aliens,' is harmful and futile. There is no frame +of reference to judge the true velocities or object sizes in the NASA tape, +much less any information which can support such speculations. We think that +speculation, of which there is a great deal in the UFO literature and press, +diverts attention into areas which do nothing to advance understanding of the +phenomena. + +It is not wrong to speculate (or better to hypothesize and then test the +hypothesis.) What is wrong, is to present speculations as fact. The UFO +literature is abounds with unverified, unprovable assertions accepted and +promulgated as fact. Many UFO books are primarily composed of previously +published material rehashed. Hence the speculations of others are +perpetuated as "fact." + +In this case, such a rush of people hungry for any UFO event has produced a +storm of wide-ranging discussion and controversy in which this tape is now +mired. It's value as documentation (or "proof", if you like) has been +reduced to virtually nothing; it has become a non-event. + +Interested people, in these latter days of UFO popularity, rush onto any +apparently interesting case en masse. Reports of "investigators" and the +merely interested overrunning supposed "landing sites" and persons brave +enough to report a close encounter, spark little concern or comment. Many +good cases are damaged in this manner. It seems that this kind of thing +happens in many "good" UFO cases; those in which there is valuable factual +information to be had. + +The tape does, however, remain interesting, and should be investigated and +whatever provable information which can be developed from it be carefully +documented. + + Jim Klotz - CUFON SYSOP + Dale Goudie - CUFON Information Director + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Your reaction is normal in that + these changes are now effecting your lives and are altering your + perspective of the future. Your existence is threatened. + What many of you are now erroneously doing is looking at your + personal lives but not looking at the part you play to support + those creating and organizing viable means to get beyond these + changes. On every level change will have to be met with new ways + of doing things. New information which is now available needs to + be used at this time in order to insure a means of survival. + Without group support of these new technologies and ideas the + survival of all will not be accomplished. Individuals cannot + provide the necessary configuration by themselves to insure the + stability of the whole. + Amassing information of the evolving new is one thing, but + making use of and taking this information into operational modes + means group cooperation. Many who are doing or are aware of + their particular part are being held back by those who are merely + focusing their attention on the specific changes occurring in + their own lives as their security blankets erode. In so doing + they are totally forgetting about the things which are in place + but are underfunded and under supported which are necessary for + group survival. + In saying the Islands of Light must now form, this does not + mean ignore one situation because of another. If little support + to the foundation efforts continues then any useful outcome to + weather the changes will not occur. There is already enough + technology to complete the change over into the New but this will + only take place if groups raise the needed revenues to forge + ahead and then acquire land needed for the "hands on" efforts to + implement the changes. + Orvotron is designed as one of the points for these ideas to + evolve and to be implemented, thus showing others a working + community of the New. In my role as East Coast Commander I see + our support group tightening up instead of loosening donations + which are needed to create these things. Fear is locking up many + in its grip. + This is sad because our efforts are designed to create a + feeling of security in Spirit not the illusion which is now + creating your present fear of what's taking place. Many of you + need to release the old as stagnant water is filling your vessel. + You need to empty this to make room for Spirit's pure renewal + essence which is now coming to Earth. Remember, God helps those + who help themselves. This statement will be reflected in all + outcomes of your next experience. + As your Commander I need address this as a very serious + situation soon to become critical by your lack of support. This + directly effects your choice to weather the storms now brewing + and the needs you are allowing to slip through your fingers as + time collapses at a furious pace. + We know the banks are out there but as of yet they have not + + + + + + + released the needed funds due to their fears. The need is to + forge ahead and to create the Islands of Light and new technolo- + gies by and through the Light Workers. This is our way to help + ourselves and all the rest get through the times ahead. If we + are derelict then our fulfilling our jobs here fall drastically + short of our agreed purpose for coming here. If this occurs then + we are in the same boat and subject to whatever these souls will + experience by our selfish lack of giving, loving and creating in + Spirit. + No longer can any of us afford the luxury of wollering in + our constant nagging doubt as to whether it is really happening, + because it is. The decision was and still is whether to follow + Spirit or the Illusion which is now being put under, eroded and + destroyed for what it is. + In Sananda's words, "You are much more than you realize, and + will do even greater things than I". Now is that time to be what + you are by giving in the essence of Spirit, as Spirit supports + those doing Spirit's work. In giving over to fear, in holding + fast to the Illusion, what you will have left is nothing of value + because your faith was on a rock not in fertile ground and there- + fore easily dislodged. Those that have firmly put their roots in + fertile ground will get beyond all coming change effecting all + life on Earth. + When these times came and went in the past change times + effecting Earth there came Souls creating foundations bringing in + the new. These Souls created the needed things for survival of + the planet and all life forms. We are those Souls creating in + the light to bring all those who wish it out of the darkness. We + are the torch barriers creating new hope where hope was shattered + in the darkness. Will you give this ground we stand on over to + those creating No Hope for those not realizing the illusion? Is + that your reason for being here? It is not mine as I bring hope, + for when there is no hope there is nothingness versus knowingness + in Spirit. + All of you still clinging in fear about Earthquakes, aster- + oids and tidal waves are missing the point of these occurrences. + Why are they happening? Those who refuse to release fear can + only do so by experiencing their fears as a means of releasing + them. Another reason is that eyes will open to understand and + release doubt by finally realizing it really is happening and it + is not some illusion that they had. + My directive for your review is to release the illusion then + turn about and help us create the New to fill the cracks made by + the eroding old. Stop supporting what is now destroying this + world. Put your personal power, resources and all your special + abilities into opening new avenues of hope for a rapidly deterio- + rating situation based on false and nonsensical illusion. + There is a very large group of scientists, engineers, horti- + culturists and medical staff (just to mention a few) with the + knowledge it takes to create Heaven on Earth. Many of these are + not in touch with each other. All have pieces that will create + the evolving new world that needs to be put together now. Hiding + out or dropping out won't get you support. The support comes + from groups that form around you to help create the new technolo- + gies but they can't if you remain hidden. + Getting found has now been made easy. Spirit B.B.S was + + + + + + + created for your use in any aspect that needs recognition, right + down to support. Not using it is like taking a tool such as a + wrench and leaving it in the rain to rust until it has no value. + Your area of interest now awaits your special talents. If you + are a physicist painting houses it's time to do what you were + trained to do. No one is asking you to create weapons or the + like, but we are asking your assistance in creating Heaven on + Earth. In the end anything missing or not complete will reflect + and relate back to those choosing not to do their part. It's + time people to create a new world - LET'S DO IT. We need only + follow Spirit and form as one group. "Now Is The Time". + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Naturally, we are anxious to get the information to +as many as possible, and as soon as possible, because some of those +persons actively involved in UFO signting reports, or who made reports +themselves, are reaching advanced ages - and it is our wish to get +in touch with them as soon as we can. + +For your further information, the new Project Blue Book, and those +associated with it, are sworn to uphold any secret, or sensitive, +information, which comes to our attention in the search for the UFO +information, and to with-hold any information which could be +considered to be detrimental to the security of our country. + +Therefore, any source may feel free to offer information to this +office, and know that the information will be confidential, and the +reporter - anonymous. Such information would be utilized only to +the extent of helping to solve a sighting report. + +The new Project Blue Book is not an Air Force-funded agency, but is, +by design, a civilian agency - of former military personnel. + +Please feel free to contact the Director, at the above address, or +phone, for interviews or additional information. + +Sincerely, + +PROJECT BLUE BOOK + +Bill Pitts, +Director + + +FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE + + PROJECT BLUE BOOK, The United States Air Force Investigative Arm for +Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's), has been reorganized as a civilian +research and investigative association, comprised of (but not limited to), +present and former, Air Force and other U.S. government agency personnel. +The New Project Blue Book, officially name-approved by the United States +Air Force, will study future UFO sighting reports, but devote further in- +depth studies of the older, classic, sighting reports from the Mid-1940's +through the 1960's. + + The original Project Blue Book closed its doors in 1969, but many of the +investigators of the earlier reports found that the most important cases were +then, and still are to this date, listed as "Unidentified." While some possi- +ble answers were made on many reports at the time, most "answers" did not fit +the actual reported sightings, and were later proven not to be the objects +reported by reputable persons, including those persons who were in high-level +government positions when they made the reports. The "Answers" did not fit +the reports. + + The New Project Blue Book will be directed by industrialist Bill Pitts, +a veteran investigator for all civilian UFO organizations and various govern- +ment agencies. A high-level research team will re-evaluate the older reports +and endeavor to determine whether the objects reported have been solid +metallic-like structure and could be extra-terrestrial. An hypothesis long +considered as the predominate answer. + + In a statement released to the media, Pitts said: "We will be seeking +first-hand information, and materials, from individuals personally involved +in the earlier saucer-era sighting reports, and will greatly appreciate re- +ceiving from any such person, or members of the immediate family, any copies +of government-agency correspondence, sighting reports, photo's and movies, +(ESPECIALLY ON PLANE-GUN CAMERAS, IF AVAILABLE)." + + Also, FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE, OR PROOF, OF ANY ALLEGED UFO "CRASH RETRIEVAL" +SITUATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Any such information that is received will be +handled in strict confidentiality, and persons sending such materials will +remain anonymous, and all materials will be returned in their entirety. Any +person who may have been under "GAG-Restrictions" of the past, should come +forward immediately, while they are still able to do so to assist us in this +investigative endeavor of the world-wide phenomenon, Pitts said. + + Headquarters for the new Project Blue Book, will be at Pitts' office, +506 North 2nd Street, Fort Smith, Arkansas 72901. It is this address, which +is centrally located in the United States, to which all materials should be +sent. + -------------------------------------------------------------------------- +End of Doc.. + +I gave Bill a tour of Paranet Tau (in person) and a view of ParaNet Alpha +from remote. He was impressed with our communications link and the Massive +Library of Paranet Alpha. Bill considered the potential of ParaNet's ability +to convey information both from and to the public, and has decided to make +PARANET his Computer Link information system. + +After speaking with Bill Pitts (Director of the New Project Blue Book) +for a short time he informed me that ParaNet Tau would be his Link with the +ParaNet systems.

To institute through the agencies of the United Nations, +various Councils and Commissions, and elements of western and +international banking alliances, a "One World" government under +the control of western civilization. + +In the words of Chairman Zemin, "Prometheus and its allies will +not tolerate or endure such military, political and economic +dominance. We will no longer tolerate the American, European and +Russian monopoly and exclusive control, of the extraterrestrials +and their technology." + + 2. Establish our own relations with the + Extraterrestrials. + +Prometheus, over the past two years, has established friendly +contact with the extraterrestrials and our productive +negotiations and agreements are now completed. In exchange for +their cooperation and technology we have offered "our guests and +new allies" far more than that offered by the Americans and their +Allies. It has become known to us that the extraterrestrials have +felt oppressed by an increasing level of suspicion directed +against them and the ever increasing demands, and security +measures the Western Nations have imposed upon them. Recently, +they have reacted to this pressure by becoming less cooperative, +nervous, and withdrawn. + +The Agreement we have reached, has been accepted and endorsed by +our Arab Allies. + + 3. Reveal the Extraterrestrial presence. + +Prometheus and our new Allies will, jointly, expose to the World +Public the full extent of the Western Nation's prior agreements +with our extraterrestrial guests. We will reveal that our guests, +until we liberated them, have been held as virtual prisoners at +various western government installations and coerced, and +intimidated, throughout their captivity, into revealing various +aspects of their technology to these governments. We will reveal +how the Western Nations and their allies, since 1947, have +deliberately withheld and suppressed any knowledge that our +guests have been held as virtual captives, and used to promote +their military and political ambitions. Our extraterrestrial +friends and guests have revealed to us, the identities and names +of those in the Western Nations that have used them and forced +them to reveal areas of their technology. + +We will let the world determine the extent of and judge the +hypocrisy behind the West's constant rhetoric regarding +violations of "Human Rights" and, in this instance, the +"Extraterrestrial's Rights." Once this is exposed, the world will +no longer judge the actions of The Peoples Republic and our Arab +Allies in such matters. By setting the record straight and +exposing the treasonous actions of America, its Allies, and +Western Civilization, against their citizens and the people of +the world, the world will recognize the ancient wisdom we possess +and the benevolent leadership we can provide. History remembers +that we are one of the oldest, civilized, learned, and dynastic +societies in the world. Our Arab Brothers, share an equally +honored past. As this is, again, realized we will be +proclaimed the new benefactors of mankind. + +We anticipate, and will cultivate, world-wide outrage against the +past and present actions of Western Civilization and their +efforts to conceal our extraterrestrial friends and the richness +of the gifts they would share with us. Totally discredited and +humiliated by their past actions, Western Civilization will kneel +before us. No longer will they dominate our world. + +Section Two of this document will detail how our revelations will +be revealed to the world. + + 4. Provide the financial resources to accomplish our goals. + +Minister Zhongli reports that over the past year, diversified +valuables in an amount equal to one billion dollars, in western +currency, including contributions from our Allies, has gradually +been disbursed by the Peoples Central Bank and allocated to +Prometheus Agents in strategic countries. The imperialistic +western bankers have no knowledge these transactions have +occurred. These resources will be used to reward those that +assist us, promote public exposure to our revelations, enhance +our public image, and provide security for our Agents. Additional +resources are available. + + 5. Recover the extraterrestrial technology. + +As part of our Agreement with our Extraterrestrial friends and +guests, they will assist Prometheus in recovering items of their +technology extorted from them and held by the Western Nations and +their Allies. This technology will be claimed by Prometheus, as +it was obtained by illegal coercion from our guests. The West and +its Allies have no legitimate claim to this technology. To +retrieve our guests technology, we have assembled highly trained +military Strike Teams, from both the Army of the Peoples Republic +and our Arab Allies. Over the past two years we have infiltrated +these Strike Teams into the Western Nations. These teams are +positioned and ready. When we are ready, our extraterrestrial +guests will help transport these Teams to their specific target +locations and assist them in identifying the technology to be +recovered. They await our orders. This technology will be +returned to our guests and protected by our forces. When it is +fully understood, Prometheus and our guests will present it to +the world. + +We are fortunate that our Agents have identified and located +various individuals within the Western Nations' and their Allies +intelligence agencies, and military forces, who attach greater +importance to monetary reward than to misguided ideals or a +devotion to duty. These individuals will be amply rewarded for +their assistance when we need them. They will be called when we +initiate our technology recovery actions. + + 6. Discover those who will assist us. + +Again, fortunately, Prometheus Agents have located, contacted, +cultivated, and offered unprecedented rewards to various +individuals within America's "Bird Community" and others with +intense metaphysical interests. For their assistance and +cooperation, when needed, Prometheus has offered financial +security or unlimited access to, and unlimited time to study, the +Secret Tibetan Records, entitled "The Mysteries." These Records +were recovered by the Army of the Peoples Republic. Our Arab +Allies have offered the same rewards and the opportunity to +inspect and study ancient texts that predate any known to modern +society. The existence of these ancient manuscripts has never +been made known to the Western World. Our Agents report that this +offer was received with great excitement and interest. Several +individuals have accepted our offer. + +Meaningful contacts have been made with those individuals and +organizations, who have contacts within Western governments, and +who seek contact and friendly relations with our Extraterrestrial +Guests. Prometheus has offered an invitation to meet our guests, +in return for their cooperation and assistance when needed. + +The past achievements obtained by the Western Nations and their +Allies has been obtained through coercion, subversion, +subterfuge, intimidation, threats, and domination. These are the +primary methods they have used to control individuals and +society. + +Prometheus offers fulfillment. We determine the individuals +deepest wants and desires, whatever they may be. Then we provide +a means of obtaining those desired objectives. Thus, we enlist an +individuals enthusiastic cooperation, support and loyalty. This +methodology has been very successful in recruiting those who can +be useful to us. We will win, and Western Civilization will lose. + + +End Section One.

Reveal to the world + +How the United States of America, its European Allies, the +Russian Government and others have, for the past forty-six years, +conspired to conceal: + + a. The presence of our Zeta Reticulin Extraterrestrial + Guests. + + b. The reason they came to our world. + + c. The peaceful and benevolent friendship the + Extraterrestrials offered our world. + + d. The extortion of the Extraterrestrials technology to + obtain political and military supremacy. + +This revelation to the World Public will be accomplished by a +series of events that Prometheus will initiate and control. + +The following events will compel the President of the United +States of America to make an "Announcement" to the world. + +Our Extraterrestrial Guests have confided to us that they never +revealed one of their most important technological achievements +to Western Civilization. + +They possess a scientific device which allows them to transport +matter, weighing less than two metric tons, and located within a +circular area with a twelve meter diameter, from one location, to +another location. This phenomena is known as Teleportation. The +maximum distance that matter can be moved with this device, is +approximately eight thousand kilometers. This device can easily +be moved about or carried by any conventional vehicle, ship, +submarine or aircraft capable of transporting a cargo of five +metric tons. They have agreed to use this device to help us, and +themselves. It will be used to accomplish several events. + + Event 1. At a date and time yet to be specified, five +Prometheus Agents and three of our Extraterrestrial Guests will +use their device to teleport into the Oval Office of the White +House, in Washington D.C. and confront the President of the +United States. We will know when the President is alone in his +office. When we appear, all surveillance and security alarms will +be disabled. We will assure, a surprised President, that we +intend him no harm. He will be informed that we used this +extraordinary method of introduction for the specific purpose of +meeting and speaking with him privately and to convince him of +our authenticity. We will then introduce our delegation. + +The purpose of this visit will be to appraise the President of +the conspiracy against our Extraterrestrial Guests. He will +receive a quick and concise briefing and be informed that the +conspiracy situation is out of control. He will then be presented +with a complete set of documents that provide all the details of +the conspiracy. The documents will list all the agencies, +organizations and personnel within the United States and those +abroad, who are responsible and will be held accountable. He will +be instructed not to inform anyone about our visit or the +information given him. + +We will then present him with a list of "key" Cabinet and +military, and civilian police officials who are not involved in +this conspiracy. He will be instructed to personally invite these +individuals to a secret meeting, in a secure location - a meeting +that he will host. The President will be advised to schedule this +meeting two days from this present date. We will inform him that +we will know the time and location of this meeting. When all the +invited guests are assembled, we will appear and join the +meeting. + +Again, the President will be advised to keep this initial +meeting, with us, totally secret and to carefully study the list +of those involved in the conspiracy. Those who cannot be trusted +are on that list. We will bring to his attention, that the Vice +President is listed as being involved in the conspiracy. He +cannot be informed of this, or any future meetings with us. The +President will be warned that we can teleport ourselves into his +presence whenever we wish, regardless of his location. The +instructions we have given him must be followed precisely, or our +next visit will not be a friendly one. + +We will then end our conversation and be teleported out of the +President's Office. + + Event 2. When the President has assembled the specified +group, as instructed in Event 1, another delegation of Prometheus +representatives and our Extraterrestrial guests will teleport +into the meeting. This act will get the immediate attention of +the various officials in attendance and establish our +credentials. The President will introduce our delegation and +describe the events of our previous meeting, and why this meeting +was arranged. + +Our spokesman will then reveal, to all those assembled, the +details of the conspiracy. Copies of the list of the accused, +will be distributed to all. When the magnitude and seriousness of +the situation is clear to all, we will present a plan for the +arrest and detention of all those who have participated in the +conspiracy and how it will be conducted. The President, and those +assembled, will then be provided with a list of non-involved and +trusted government, security, and the military and civilian +police officials in the foreign countries involved. Details of +the arrest and detention procedures to be conducted in those +countries will be presented. The President will then appoint one +of the officials present, to supervise this operation and report +to him personally when all the arrangements are completed. + +Our spokesman will then advise the President to select one of the +Cabinet Officials present to be his personal aide. This aide will +serve for the duration of this operation. The President will then +be instructed to secretly contact the officials of the foreign +governments involved, by telephone, and explain what is +happening, and what actions must be taken. His personal aide must +be present to witness these conversations and to substantiate the +Presidents statements. To insure that these officials take the +President's explanation and statements seriously, we will arrange +to teleport into their presence as he is speaking with them. +Before the phone conversation is ended, the President will be +assured of their full cooperation and agreement, to carry out his +suggestions, in secret. + +The President will then order the following actions: + + a. Federal Arrest and Detention Warrants are to prepared, in +secret, for his signature. The Warrants will be issued for all +those accused of being participants in the conspiracy. + + b. Special teams, composed of both military and civilian +police are to be organized, assembled, and positioned, throughout +the country so that all the Warrants can be executed +simultaneously. + + c. All the military and law enforcement officials present +are to assist in the organization and execution of this +operation. + + d. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) facilities +will be used as detention centers for those arrested. Special +Military Police Units will guard these facilities. + + e. The Arrest and Detention Operation must be organized and +ready to respond to the President's Order, in one month. + + f. A FEMA Command Center will be assigned, immediately, as +the Headquarters for this operation. + +The President will, again, order that the matters presented in +this meeting are to be kept secret. + +The meeting will then be adjourned. + +Event 3. + +The culminating event of this series will be an announcement by +the President of the United States of America, in which he +reveals this conspiracy and the guilty actions of the United +States, its European Allies, the Russians, and various members of +the western banking community. + +With no other option available, the President of the United +States will be forced to make this announcement, in a world-wide +televised appearance, before the General Assembly of the United +Nations. Representatives of our Extraterrestrial Guests will make +their first public appearance at this time, to confirm the +President's statements and tell their own story. + +They will explain to the World Public how their initial contacts +with the United States and their offers of "Good Will and +Friendship" were accepted. Then, through the use of deceitful +tactics, how they were persuaded to enter into Agreements with +the United States. They will, also, describe how the gifts they +brought were confiscated by the Government of the United States, +and by later agreement between the United States, its European +Allies, the Russians, and various western banking groups, these +gifts were withheld from the world community. Their story will +reveal how they have been held, against their will, and as +virtual captives, at various government installations. The +shocking details of how they were forced, by coercion, to reveal +various parts of their technology will be revealed. Technology, +they later learned, was being used to promote and achieve +political and military dominance over the World Public by the +western nations and their allies. + +The most shocking and horrifying revelation of all, will be how +our Extraterrestrial Guests were forced, by deadly threats, to +participate in the abduction of citizens, world-wide. And, how +these abductees were used as experimental subjects in a secret +genetic engineering, cloning, and mind control program, +supervised and controlled, by the Senior Interagency Group of the +United States Government, its European Allies, the Russian +Government, and others, and by the various military and +scientific personnel under their direction and control. + +Our Extraterrestrial Guests will describe how, with military +personnel hidden out of sight and weapons aimed at them, they +were forced to use their spacecraft to abduct these citizens, and +to subject them to medical examinations and certain procedures +aboard their craft, or transport these abductees to secret +government installations for more elaborate procedures. There, at +gun point, they were forced to assist in more ghastly +experiments. + +It will be revealed that our Extraterrestrial Guests +were always made to appear, to these abductees, as the +originators of these actions. To reinforce the impression that +our Extraterrestrial Guests were responsible for these actions, +abductees have been subjected, by the Western Governments, to +various forms of mental programming and conditioning. With the +use of this "safeguard," if any part of this program was ever +revealed or a mistake occurred, our Extraterrestrial Guests would +be the ones accused of these atrocities. No government would be +held accountable. This brutal form of coercion, it will be shown, +was another method used to manipulate and control our +Extraterrestrial Guests and assure their cooperation. + +At the conclusion of the President's announcement and the +testimony of our Extraterrestrial Guests, the following will +occur. + +Representatives of Prometheus, will address the General Assembly +of the United Nations, and the world-wide television audience. +We will announce that: In an agreement reached with the President +of the United States, and the heads of government of its European +Allies and the Russian Government that, as this announcement was +presented, the following is occurring: + + Thousands of Military and Civilian Police teams, acting +jointly, and simultaneously, in the United States, the countries +of its European Allies, and in the Russian Republics, are +arresting and detaining key government officials and every +individual named, in the warrants supplied them. They will also +seize, as evidence, the records of these individuals and the +records of the government agencies they control. To preserve the +continuity of government functions, in the countries involved, +key officials under arrest are being replaced by their immediate +subordinates. + + Those attempting to flee or evade arrest will have their +photographs and descriptions broadcast throughout the world. They +will be hunted down ruthlessly until they are apprehended. +Generous rewards will be offered for information leading to their +capture and arrest. They will not find sanctuary in any country. + +Prometheus will then demand that the United Nations create a +Trial Court composed of jurists and religious leaders from +nations and countries that have no alliance with Western +Civilization. Specifically, but not limited to, the following: + +The Peoples Republic of China +North Korea +The Nations of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, and Libya +Asian Nations +Islamic Nations +Third World Nations + +As "Accused Parties," because of their participation in the +monstrous conspiracy revealed, the United States of America, its +European Allies and Russia, and the American and European Banking +Community, cannot be allowed to occupy any position in the +composition of the Trial Court. + +It shall be the duty and responsibility of the Trial Court to try +every accused entity, whether it be: governmental, industrial, +business, scientific, educational, financial, religious, or an +individual, of any participation, past or present, in this +conspiracy. The trial proceedings will be televised for world- +wide viewing. The "Accused" shall be tried for heinous crimes +against humanity and our Extraterrestrial Guests. + +As a result of these events, the political, military and +financial dominance of Western Civilization will no longer be a +threat to the World Public. To prevent Western Civilization from +using the technology, they have extorted from our +Extraterrestrial Guests, against the world, in an attempt to +preserve their former dominance, Prometheus has taken action. As +we have been speaking, our military units have been recovering +our Guest's technology from the installations of the Western +Nations. Prometheus will return this illegally obtained +technology to our Guests and protect it, until it can be shared +with the world. + +Prometheus and our Extraterrestrial Guests will initiate a new +Millennia of ordered growth and expansion. A new vision and +social order will shape the destiny of humanity. + + +End of document + +EOF + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Brown + Senior Editor (West Coast) Popular Science + + + From the tops of White Sides Mountain in southwestern Nevada, hikers +with powerful binoculars peer down at a vast, dry lake bed 12 miles +away. At one end of the lake stands a complex of hangers, barracks, and +antennas, clustered next to the world's longest paved runway. Something +big goes on down there, and at night the base lights up like Broadway. + According to Federal Aviation Administration pilot's charts and U.S. +Geological Survey topographic maps, this air base doesn't exist. It's +only a featureless dry expanse called Groom Lake, in the remote Emigrant +Valley between jagged mountain ranges situated some 120 miles northwest +of Las Vegas. + The place has many nicknames: Dreamland, The Ranch, The Box, Watertown +Strip, The Pig Farm. Old government maps list it as Area 51. +Officially, the only way the base can be described within the armed +forces is as "a remote test facility"; even civilians working for +military contractors are forbidden to mention the fact that it's located +in Nevada. + Despite this information blackout, Groom Lake has become a magnet for +hundreds of people curious about unacknowledged flying objects, such as +the alledged hypersonic spyplane nicknamed Aurora ("Out of the Black: +Secret Mach 6 Spyplane," Mar '93), and other sky gazers who seek more +exotic craft: UFOs from outer space. One unofficial observer of the +scene even publishes a "viewer's guide" to the area. + Enough is enough, the Air Force has decided. It wants to shut down +the vantage points of the "watchers" keeping an eye on Groom Lake from +adjacent public lands administered by the federal Bureau of Land +Management. Last September, Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall +requested control over nearly 4,000 acres of BLM land. Widnall cited +the need for the "safe and secure operation of the activities on the +Nellis Range Complex," a military reservation that covers much of +southern Nevada and includes the secret base. + Popular Science recently wrote to Widnall, requesting permission to +visit Groom Lake. We proposed to give the public a reasonable overview +of the defense research the government conducts there, without +jeopardizing the security of sensitive technologies. Air Force Colonel +Douglas J. Kennett at the Pentagon responded: "While we may all agree +the Cold War is over, I think we can also agree that this nation must +continue to maintain tight security on certain military projects." + Representative Robert S. Walker, vice chairman of the House Science, +Space, and Technology Committee, has a different view: "We now have a +reshaped world. When we had a superpower confrontation, it made sense +to run the programs the way we ran them. Now, we ought to reexamine how +we handle 'black' programs. It makes little sense to withhold +technology from public entrepreneurship, if in fact it allows us to +leapfrog the rest of the world." + A congressional source with the highest level of security clearance, +who has visited Groom Lake several times, believes that a mysterious +technology delelopment effort has been underway for years. "This is not +part of the official program of the U.S. government," although aircraft +are being tested and flown at government ranges, according to the +source. "I think this is some sort of intelligence operation, or there +could be foreign money involved.... It's expensive, and is immune to the +oversight process. This defrauds the American government and people. +You go to jail for that." + The tract of land the Air Force wants is shaped like a voting district +carved into an improbable checkerboard by gerrymandering politians. Its +patchwork outline results from the military's wish to grab the hilltops +without approaching a 5,000-acre threshold that would require an +attention-getting congressional hearing. The final decision will be +made following a public hearing to be held early this year. + + In spite of a formidable ring of security extending onto public land +well beyond the perimeters of the base, determined and technologically +savvy campers continue to visit the area. One group of watchers who dog +the site call themselves the Dreamland Interceptors. They come from +many walks of life, but share three key attitudes: military aircraft - +particularly secret ones - are fascinating; more knowledge about what +tax money buys is better than less; and cheap aluminum lawn chairs are +essential equipment when you're spending a day or two perched on sharp +rocks. + I joined an Interceptor mission to Groom Lake last March. The squad +included off-duty California police officers, a former test pilot, a +model-airplane designer, a political activist, and Jim Goodall, a +veteran chaser of secret, or "black," airplanes. Unfazed by +authoritarian bluster, Goodall has established a long track record along +the perimeter fences of desert air bases. He was one of the first to +snap photos of the then-secret Lockheed F-117A stealth attack planes +when they were covertly operating from the Tonopah Test Range about 80 +miles northwest of Groom Lake. + Another member of the band was John Andrews, who designs spyplane +models as product developer at Testor Corp. (see photo). Andrews +created a surprisingly accurate model of the Lockheed U-2 spyplane in +the late 1950s when it was unknown to the public, and again made waves +in 1986 with his F-19 stealth plane, the best-selling model kit in +history. Although the F-117A turned out to look different from Andrews' +model, the science behind the model's design was sound. The F-19 caused +alarm in the secret airplane world because its radar cross section was +found to be quite small. + Ben Rich, retired president of Lockheed's Skunk Works, which built +several of the aircraft Goodall and Andrews pursue, views the pair as +patriotic gadflies. "The government security people hate those guys. +But I admire them. They're persistent. They dig. And they sit on top +of the mountain. I think they're the Ross Perots of the airplane +world," he says. + + Unpacking our camping gear below the mountain, we notice two unmarked, +beige security vehicles parked half a mile away in either direction. +The drivers observe us with binoculars, moving to keep us in view. We +peer back through our binoculars, watching them watching us. + "The sheriff will be here in about 45 minutes," Goodall announces. +"The security guys will have called on the radio by now." Etiquette +calls for chatting with the sheriff before we head up the hill. He is +required to respond to the call, and there's no point in making him +waste time climbing or waiting for us to climb back down. In the +meantime, we savor the air show provided by thundering F-15s, F-16s, +B-52s, and other planes flying low-level training missions through the +empty valleys nearby. At one point, Russian Sukhoi Su-22 and MiG-23 +fighters streak overhead. + Soon, a Lincoln County sheriff rolls up in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. +He politely advises us to steer clear of cattle grazing on the open +range, park at least 100 yards from watering troughs, be careful with +campfires, and refrain from taking pictures of "the air base over +there." + Then the sheriff leaves, and we begin hiking to the peak of White +Sides, 1,868 feet above the valley floor, where a dusting of snow lies +on the dark sides of the rocks. In the thinning air at 6,089 feet above +sea level, the steep trek induces a lot of huffing and puffing. + + Leading us is Glenn Campbell, a former computer programmer who lives +in the nearby hamlet of Rachel (population about 100; one store, one +bar, no post office). Campbell has become an activist pushing for the +return of military lands to public use and has created a lobbying group +called the White Sides Defense Committee. He publishes a wryly amusing +document called "Area 51 Viewer's Guide", which contains tips for +visitors, maps of back roads, and descriptions of flying objects likely +to be seen. Campbell's guide has readers on both sides of the security +fence, and as far away as Washington, D.C. + Also hiking with us is a tall, silver-haired gentleman who has the +Matterhorn on his list of moutain-climbing credits. I labor to keep up +with Bob Gilliland, to hear his reaction upon reaching the summit. +Finally, we arrive: "There's the place I almost killed myself a couple +of times," says the former Lockheed test pilot, gazing down at the lake +bed where, in 1962, he flew the then-secret predecessor to the SR-71 +Blackbird. He tells chilling tales about engine flameouts and other +near-catastrophies that occurred while engineers struggled to perfect +the Mach 3.2 spyplane. Gilliland hasn't been to Groom Lake in a long +time. They don't have alumni reunions here. + We deploy our lawn chairs and unpack the kits we've brought to +Nevada's "birdwatching" country: binoculars, spotting scopes, tripods, +broadband radio-frequency scanners, night-vision equipment, walkie- +talkies, maps and compasses, tape recorders, and drab-colored clothing. + As the setting sun creates a pinkish glow along the ridgeline behind +the base, the temperature drops rapidly. Crazy kangaroo mice appear, +bouncing around searching for crumbs, but our MREs (military-issue, +meals ready-to-eat) come in unchewable pouches. Where there are mice, +there are usually snakes - perhaps rattlesnakes - but at this time of +year thay should be hibernating, we tell ourselves. Out come the +sweaters, gloves, and sleeping bags. And out come the stars - more and +more stars shining in the crystal indigo sky - and with them the lights +on the hangers and alongside the big runway at Dreamland. + + At Groom Lake, most of what the base needs - people, supplies, and the +hardware being tested - arrives the expensive way, by air. Large +experimental aircraft are partially disassembled so they can be +delivered in big transport planes. + Civilian listeners using scanners to monitor military radio +frequencies have learned that the flights shuttling workers to the base +identify themselves by using the callname Janet. WE watch several +planes come and go, including a C-130 Hercules transport and a twin- +engine military Beechcraft. + Every weekday, ten to 12 Janet flights make the round-trip. They are +Boeing 737 airliners departing from special, secure terminals operated +by defense contractor EG&G Corp. at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas and in +Palmdale, Calif. The only marking the white-painted planes bear is a +broad, red stripe running the length of the fuselage. Observers who +count these daily shuttles calculate that 1,500 to 2,500 people work at +the base. Shuttle flights cease on weekends, presumably so employees +can spend time at home. + At jetliner speeds, Groom Lake is only about half an hour from Las +Vegas, so the Janet jets don't climb high. They approach the Dreamland +runway from the southwest in a long, slow descent lasting several +minutes. At night, the landing lights of the 737s seem to hang almost +motionless in the sky, causing excitement among UFO seekers (see "Area +51: Home of the Aliens?"). + Secret aircraft tend to depart northward from Groom Lake. Depending +on their performance characteristics, they may climb several thousand +feet before even crossing the base perimeter. We watch a dark, fighter- +sized airplane take off to the north. The black shape resembles an +F-117A, but we can't be sure. Painting an airplane black and flying it +at night is a simple and effective way to make it extremely hard to see +- or photograph. Turn off the running lights and it virtually +disappears, particularly when there's no moonlight. + On an earlier visit, Goodall heard an unforgettably loud, deep +rumbling sound. Perhaps it was a pulsed-combustion propulsion system +powering a hypersonic aircraft? Campbell has heard the same noise, as +have other Rachel residents. For Goodall, the Holy Grail is getting a +picture of such a craft. + Few civilian visitors to the area would dare cross a fence line +monitored by solar-powered video cameras and studded with signs warning: +"Use Of Deadly Force Authorized." Shadowing the perimeter, however, is +a perfectly legal activity that drives the Pentagon nuts. + The military attempted to secure this secret base when it seized +89,000 acres from the BLM in 1984, an action that caused political +friction in Nevada. Later, Congress approved this move on national- +security grounds. However, the enlarged perimeter failed to include two +peaks: White Sides, and another that Glenn Campbell - and now even the +security guards - calls Freedom Ridge. + Both peaks command an excellent view of the base. Did foreign agents +peer along the 12-mile sightlines into the heart of blackness during the +1980s? We may well never know. However, the arrow-straight line +forming the facility's eastern border suggests that the restricted +area's 1984 boundaries were not drawn by a surveyor walking the terrain, +but rather by a desk-bound bureaucrat. + + Groom Lake's role as a secret air base began in 1954, when the CIA +gave Lockheed a contract to develop a spyplane that could travel higher +than any aircraft yet built. The Soviet Union was to be the U-2s +primary target. Lockheed test pilot Tony LeVier, who had made the first +flight in the hot F-104 fighter from which the U-2 was derived, was +dispatched in a twin-prop company plane to find a location where tests +of the slender-winged craft could be kept hidden. + Situated between isolated desert mountain ranges and near the Atomic +Energy Commision's nuclear bomb testing area, the barren, flat expanse +of Groom Lake seemed perfect. For security reasons, the AEC, which +later became the Deparrtment of Energy, handled the construction of a +runway, hangers, and other buildings needed for the U-2. + Flight testing of the Air Force SR-71 spyplane and its predecessor, +the CIA's A-12, was conducted there in 1962. Covertly obtained Soviet +fighters were also hidden and flight-tested there. And about 10 years +ago, the F-117A first flew at Groom Lake. + Big defense spending during the Reagan administration brought in new +activity. During the 1980s, an even faster replacement for the SR-71 +appears to have begun flying out of Groom Lake - various reports have +dubbed it Aurora, Senior Citizen, or Senior Smart - despite what the Air +Force says to the contrary. Perhaps this program actually belongs to +the CIA or the National Reconnaissance Office, making Air Force denials +truthful in the narrowest sense of the word. + An arms-control analyst, who insists on remaining anonymous, says he +has examined a classified, late-1991 Landsat image of Groom Lake that +shows three large, white triangles sitting near the main runway. "They +are about the size of 747 airliners and remind me of the XB-70 bomber +prototype from the 1960s," he says. Landsat is a U.S. satellite, so +sensitive items may not always be hidden when it passes overhead. + Other secret projects likely to have been tested in recent years at +Groom Lake include stealthy vertical-landing aircraft designed to +covertly transport small groups of special-forces troops inside foreign +territory. Many of the dozens of remotely piloted vehicles currently in +use or under development by the military have probably been flown at the +base too. And expansion of the base itself continues as well. Arial +photos taken in 1968 and 1988 reveal the addition of many structures +alongside the big runway. + Recent years have brought even more growth. Construction of a +parallel runway estimated to be 15,000 feet long was begun around 1989 +to permit continued flight testing when winter flooding makes the main +runway's northern half unusable. A new tank farm stores cryogenic +liquid methane or hydrogen fuels used by hypersonic aircraft. + Research by Jim Goodall indicates the probable use of two vast new +buildings. A high-ceilinged hanger, perhaps several stories tall, is +equipped with gantry cranes for the mating and de-mating of the Aurora +mothership and daughtership spyplanes. And a second large building is +used for the final assembly of various classified aircraft. + + Last June, Goodall and Campbell selected an observation point on BLM +land that was under the runway's climb-out path. It's a boring place to +be - unless something "black" departs from Groom Lake flying north. + The two campers could hear the clattering of its rotors for a few +minutes before the helicoptor appeared. A Sikorsky HH-60G Blackhawk +with Air Force markings on its dark-green camouflage paint scheme, the +craft was soon flying a search pattern. Goodall and Campbell scrambled +for the only cover available - a scrubby desert tree. The Blackhawk +descended, its downwash raising a hurricane of dust and gravel. Then +its landing skids crunched through the upper branches, reducing the +tree's height by half. + Campbell took snapshots. "I was looking through the helicoptor's +floor window right at the pilot," he says. Away climbed the Blackhawk. +A sheriff later talked Campbell into surrendering his film, which +remains in government hands. + Goodall filed complaints: to the Secretary of Defense, senators, +congressmen, and safety officials at Nellis Air Force Base - the closest +identifiable place to which a letter can be addressed. Their replies +discounted his assertion that the frightening incident could have +resulted in the destruction of everything - helicopter, crew, the two +campers, and what was left of the tree. + A typical response, written from the Pentagon by Air Force Colonel +Leslie M. Dula, stated: "Helicopter operations to protect and verify the +security of the Nellis Range may appear abnormal to people not familiar +with such operations, but the actions of the crew were not life- +threatening nor risk endangering [sic]." + + On another night, with our headlights off and taillights disconnected +so they won't flash when the brakes are applied, Jim Goodall and I pilot +our Toyota Land Cruiser along the dirt roads and bumpy trails just north +of the base. For a few miles, we drive within the sight lines of a +security post; then we pass behind some low ridges. We head for a slope +where Campbell had earlier positioned a large miltary camouflage net. +Shrouded in the netting, our parked truck resembles another mound of +greenish scrub in the partial moonlight. On foot, we lug our gear up +the hill. + Campbell hikes to our campsite the next morning, and things on the +summit remain peaceful until noon. Then we hear the distant whumping of +a Blackhawk. Adrenaline flows. This aerial visit lasts four hours. + We watch the Blackhawk circle below us, then finally swoop down to +sandblast a barren hillock about two miles distant. Peering through his +binoculars, Goodall is suddenly seized by a laughing fit. "They're +assaulting my old lawn chair! I left it there months ago." Security +men emerge from vehicles and take possession of the area near the chair, +as the helicopter widens its search pattern, sandblasting every clump of +vegetation in the area. + The search expands, covering several square miles. Eventually, +Campbell's car, tucked into a ditch under a gray cover, is spotted. +Sheriffs note its license number. + We remain rolled up like armadillos under small, gnarled evergreens, +where we weather dozens of helicopter passes undetected. Finally, the +security forces give up and leave. + Definitely no secret airplanes tonight, we realize, so we decide to +seek some real food and hot showers. We retreat to the Little A'Le'Inn +(pronounced "alien"), the sole watering hole in the hamlet of Rachel. +The bar's walls are covered with UFO memorabilia and a large Goodall +photo of the secret base. "We heard someone penetrated the base +perimeter," says Pat Travis, as she takes our orders. + Proprietors Pat and Joe Travis serve food and drink to a mix of +cowboys, UFO buffs, and base workers. The latter are generally +congenial but strictly observe their secrecy vows: "I'd tell you, but +then I'd have to kill you," they like to say if questioned about Groom +Lake. + We reflect on the day's experience. One of our suspicions has been +reinforced: an electronic sensor Campbell found by a muddy roadside +after spring rains almost certainly wasn't one of a kind. No wonder +security trucks and helicopters seemed to appear as if on cue, day or +night. + Campbell later located 10 more sensors along the dirt roads running +across BLM land by using a frequencey counter, an electronic device that +identifies the broadcasting frequency of a radio transmitter. He also +began unscrewing the antennas from the sensors, driving past them, then +replacing the antennas - thereby defeating the devices. The sensors are +located in pairs, separated by a few yards of road. Ground vibrations +caused by a passing vehicle trigger 496.25-megahertz radio pulses from a +transmitter wired to each pair, broadcasting the vehicle's location and +direction of travel. + Two nights later, several of us venture out again. After an +uneventful evening watching from Freedom Ridge, we fall asleep. At 2:00 +a.m., visitors with bright flashlights arrive: a sheriff and a security +guard in camouflage. When the sheriff demands to search through our +bags for cameras, my companions stubbornly assert their civil liberties. +The sheriff backs down when we ask to see a warrant. Because the Groom +Lake base is officially unmentionable, a judge can't issue a warrant +alleging infractions in the vicinity; it's an odd Catch-22 the +government has concocted for itself. We examine their identification, +the sheriff takes down our names, and we say goodnight. + Getting back to sleep isn't easy, so I pan across the landscape with a +Russian military night-vision scope, a useful gadget when you want to +know if you really are alone. I flich. Two hundred yards away, a pair +of security men sit in a beige truck, watching us. They have a similar +scope, I suspect, of the costlier U.S. military variety. Perhaps an +infrared device as well. For some time, we observe each other in the +dark. They've done a fine job of sneaking up on us. I feel caught up +in a scenario that's equal parts Tom Clancy, Tom Swift, and Tom Sawyer. + + The air base that isn't there is having a rough year. The Air Force +plan to annex the hilltops has attracted unwanted media attention. And +now Nevada Environmental Protection Division officials are investigating +allegations that toxic chemicals were burned in open pits at Groom Lake +during the 1980s, sickening workers. Lockheed has previously made out- +of-court settlements with hundreds of people who were exposed to various +chemicals while working on the F-117A program at its Burbank, Calif., +plant. + Citizen curiosity about where untraceable, "black" defense dollars go +is running strong. Lots of money is involved. The Defense Budget +Project, a nonpartisan monitoring group in Washington, D.C., estimates +that the $84.1 billion 1994 defense budget for research, development, +and procurement contains $14.3 billion for secret programs. That +approximates NASA's entire budget. + With the Cold War over and Russian satellite images of Groom Lake +available for purchase, airplane watchers like Goodall, Campbell, and +Andrews question the military's need for additional security at Groom +Lake. And even if the government decides to let some light shine into +its black world, chances are slim that the persistent watchers who keep +heading out into the desert will hang up their binoculars. + "The military needs to be reminded that they own nothing out there, +niether the airplanes nor the facility. We, the people, are the true +owners. We pay for it all," Andrews argues with passion. "If the Air +Force and other agencies truly need this place, then let them make their +case in an open forum and explain to us the true nature of their +national security concerns.

Brown + + In 1989, a man named Bob Lazar appeared in a broadcast on Las Vegas +television station KLAS, claiming to be a physicist hired by the +government to reverse-engineer the propulsion system of saucer-shaped +alien spacecraft. + The saucers, he maintained, were kept in a secret complex called S-4 +at Papoose Lake, a dry lake bed located a few miles south of Groom Lake. +Lazar's claims, as well as many details of his background, have proved +impossible to confirm. But their dissemination through the UFO- +enthusiastic grapevine transformed Area 51 into a mecca for saucer +seekers. They can be seen congregating, with their motor homes and lawn +chairs, next to Nevada Route 375 at an icon called "The Black Mailbox." +This ordinary mailbox belongs to the rancher who leases grazing rights +in the valley. + Many UFO watchers have kept vigils there for an aerial phenomenon +called "Old Faithful" - and gone home satisfied. Old Faithful is a +bright, barely moving light observed low in the sky for several minutes +at about 4:45 a.m. on weekdays. + Last March, three chilly airplane watchers with binoculars atop White +Sides Mountain at this magic hour were tracking a 737 airliner +approaching Groom Lake, as a fourth member of their group thawed out in +his truck below. Parked on a knoll, he was next to a van-load of UFO +seekers. They were led by tour operator Sean Morton, whose leaflet +describes him as "the world's foremost UFO researcher." + Morton donned a horned Viking helmet and from time to time pointed to +the sky, exclaiming: "Look at that one!" The airplane watcher trained +his binoculars in the same direction, but saw nothing out of the +ordinary. Later, Morton's group became excited by what they perceived +as an entire formation of UFOs; the airplane watcher's lenses revealed +only stars. Finally, as the morning's first 737 made its gentle +approach toward Groom Lake at 4:45, the UFO enthusiasts rejoiced at Old +Faithful's appearance.

The dispatcher, who refused to give her name, said Air +Force officials asked the BLM not to say where the fire was or how big it was. + Andrijauskas refused to say what kind of plane crashed, but said the pilot +was the only crew member aboard. He said emergency crews responded and secured +the area. + "We have personnel on the scene," said Andrijauskas. + The spokesman said the pilot was assigned to Nellis, but refused to say what +fighter wing he was attached to.

Were those things +really happening as portrayed on T.V. ? I'm now beginning to +wonder if there wasn't a deeper scheme behind building that army +and the one the sandinistas have now. + + Then Cooper comes along and spills his guts about the secret +government, ET'S and all sorts of things few could imagine as +being for real. He states Bush is the head of same and the plan +is to build this New World order under him, supported and backed +by the Majestic twelve who secretly rule the world. + + Then the middle east thing conveniently pops up. We hear +rumors that we said it was ok for Hussein to invade Kuwiat. Next +thing we know our Armed forces are mostly in that part of the +world with very little chance of coming back in time for our +borders being breached stating we are coming to this countries +need as a big brother. Next the world falls obediently in line +sanctioning our efforts. + + Congress gets told by Bush he will do as he pleases.

Lord +Gazette Staff + + From Ancient Greece to the present, humankind has asked, Is there life +beyond planet Earth? And, if so, what form does it take? + Last month some 100 researchers and mental health professionals gathered +in Cambridge to explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life and to +examine and compare the experiences of abductees--men and women who claim to +have been kidnapped by alien beings, taken aboard spacecraft, and eventually +released. + The four-day closed meeting drew some of the most ardent and long-term +researchers who presented short papers on their work. Chief among them was +conference co-organizer Medical School Psychiatry Professor John Mack, who +became involved with the UFO question two and a half years ago. Though he +began as a total skeptic, he admitted, he now believes that the experiences +of abductees "are an extremely important phenomenon"-and that "we can't begin +to understand them without a shift in our world view." + He believes that mental dualism in the West--"we're here, you're +there"--will prevent many from being open minded about the possibility of +alien abductions. These experiences are shattering our world view [by +suggesting] that we may be connected with other beings beyond ourselves.... +The proposition attacks the arrogance of our ideas and makes a mockery of our technology. + Estimates vary as to how many individuals have had abduction experiences. +According to a Roper Organization poll, one out of every 50 American adults-- +some 3.7 million people indicate that they have had an encounter with an +unidentified flying object or an alien being. + "It is possible that hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people +in this country alone have undergone abduction experiences," said Mack. + Because of the stigma attached to revealing such experiences, he believes +many people remain underground, too ashamed or alarmed to admit the +experience. + "The more prominent the person, the more likely he or she will be +reluctant to come forward as they have more to lose," he said. "Often, once +they seek help, abductees prefer to be diagnosed as crazy." + A well-known psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Mack reports that of the 60 +cases he has worked on he has found, -to his surprise, that after a battery +of psychological tests, "no psychiatric or psychosocial explanation for these +reports is evident. These people are not mentally ill." He has spent +countless therapeutic hours with these individuals only to find that what +struck him was the "ordinariness" of the population, including a restaurant +owner, several secretaries, a prison guard, college students, a university +administrator, and several homemakers. + "The majority of abductees do not appear to be deluded, confabulating, +lying, self-dramatizing, or suffering from a clear mental illness," he +maintained. He has encountered only one person who showed psychotic features. + The central finding of most researchers, including Mack, is that there is +one archetypal abduction experience and that most abduction memories contain +very limited variations on a standard scenario. A typical encounter would +begin with uneasy feelings of foreboding, a fear-inducing appearance of small +alien beings, transport to a spacecraft, examination and other procedures +performed on a special table, various tests and tasks given, the introduction +of more favorable feelings toward the aliens, and finally a return to +pre-abduction activities and states of consciousness. + + For most of the abductees, the experience is fearful and many repress the +details. Often, hypnosis brings back the traumatic episode and helps the +abductee recover memories of the entire event, Mack and others have found. + "Particularly impressive to me has been the intense resistance and +disturbing affect, especially fear, as memories of traumatic abduction +experiences begin to emerge under hypnosis or through conscious recall," said +Mack. He and others find it hard to explain the marks left on some bodies +from red triangles on the chest to incisions on arms and legs. Several have +had implants in their ears and noses but, upon study, physicists and +biochemists find no unearthly material. + "Any adequate theory of alien abductions, even a useful hypothesis, must +account for a broad range of puzzling phenomena," said Mack. + In his inventory of occurrences, he includes narrative consistency. "The stories that abductees tell vary in their details, but they have a hard edge +of narrative consistency," he found. He dismisses the argument that abductees +influence one another and believes that "what more often happens is that when +abductees communicate with each other about their abductions or watch +television or film versions of abductions, they fill in details of what they +have already experienced and are trying to clarify." + Even though many abductions occur independent of UFO sightings, a close +association between UFO encounters and abduction experiences has been +consistently observed, noted Mack. + Mack believes a convincing theory must be found for the bizarre physical +effects, such as termination of pregnancy, sexual liaisons, incisions, and +implants that abductees report. + A way also must be found to account for the abduction reports of children +as young as 2. These are, Mack said, "emotionally intense and seemingly +authentic, detailed experiences [from young people] whose exposure to outside +sources of information has been limited." + The abduction phenomenon, said Mack, "confronts us with an authentic and +disturbing mystery. There is no way, I believe, that we can even make sense, +let alone provide a convincing explanation, of this matter within the +framework of our existing views of what is real or possible. Our +psychological theories do not include a way of accounting for the +simultaneous occurrence among thousands of people, unacquainted with each +other, including small children, of complex, elaborate, and sometimes +overwhelmingly powerful experiences that resemble one another in minute detail, accompanied by equally peculiar physical phenomena." + Mack also thinks that the current understanding of physical reality +"whereby a population of beings from some other space/time realm can enter +our world with such limited detection and affect so many people" defies our +accepted notions of scientific reality. + Like others, Mack believes the phenomenon is worthy of more inquiry. "The +phenomenon may deliver to us a kind of fourth blow to our collective egoism, +following those of Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud. We may be led to realize +that we are not physically at the center of the universe, . . . we are not +even the preeminent or dominant intelligence in the cosmos in control of our +psychological and physical existences. + "It appears that we can be 'invaded' or taken over, if not literally by +other creatures, then by some other form of being or consciousness that seems +able to do with us what it will for a purpose we cannot yet fathom." +Sidebar: + +Research on human lives, with purpose and idealism + + About three years ago, a colleague asked John Mack to meet writer Budd +Hopkins, the author of Intruders, a book recently made into a television +movie on the experiences of abductees. + Mack was highly skeptical; "there was no way I could understand the +phenomena," he recalled.  But Mack did meet with Hopkins, and became fascinated by the stories he +heard. The conversation ultimately led Mack into abductee research; from 1990 +to January of this year, he interviewed 34 adults and children who claim to +have encountered aliens, and will write a book about the phenomenon. + His work with abductees impressed him "with the powerful dimension of +personal growth that accompanies the traumatic experiences. An intense +concern for the planet's survival and a powerful ecological consciousness +seem to develop for many abductees. For me and other investigators, abduction +research has had a shattering impact on our views of the nature of the +cosmos." + He is most proud of his work at Cambridge Hospital's psychiatry +department, which he founded in 1962. He won a 1977 Pulitzer Prize for his +biography of Lawrence of Arabia, A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T.E. +Lawrence (Little, Brown and Co.). He has also published extensively in the +areas of psychobiography and the psychosocial effects of the nuclear arms +race. + As an investigator of the psychology of the nuclear arms race, Mack, 62, +founded the Center for Psychology and Social Change, a Cambridge-based +research organization devoted to the psychosocial study of human violence, +conflict, and images of the enemy. The center has recently enlarged its focus +to include the preservation of the environment. + Mack received his M.D. from Harvard in 1955, and graduated from the +Boston Psychoanalytic Institute in 1967 and was certified as a child analyst +in 1969. He graduated from Oberlin College, phi beta kappa. +  He has been a professor of psychiatry at the Cambridge Hospital, an +affiliate of the the Medical School [sic], since 1972 and was head of the +Department of Psychiatry there from 1973 to 1977. A faculty member of the +Boston Psychoanalytic Society, he is also currently president of the +International Society for Political Psychology. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

For the first time in five years, UFO +reports described as "lights/illuminations" out numbered the reports of +"objects/shapes". + +Lights and Illuminations represented 57.4% of 201 reported sightings. Another +changed characteristic for 1991 was the Peak Month of UFO sighting activity. +January became the peak month of UFO sightings, comprising 15% of the total +for the whole year. For the past two years, October had been the Peak Month +for UFO reports, but in 1991, October ranked LAST. The summer months were more +active than in 1990. + + +STATE SIGHTING BREAKDOWN +------------------------ +Florida was the leader by a Substantial margin, Florida reported 54 sightings +for 1991...83% (45) of these sighiings were described as +"lights/illuminiations". Of the Florida total, Gulf Breeze reported 63% (34) +of the Florida total. Indiana led the nation (7) in reporting Close Encounter +UFO sightings. A usually quiet state, North Carolina ranked 4th in 1991 with +14 UFO reports and 5 Close Encounter Sightings (CES). Other States with higher +than normal averages were, Oregon and New Hampshire. + +New Jersey ranked 9th in 1991 with 4 UFO Sightings. All four reports were of +"Objects/Shapes" and were observed during night time visibility. Two of the +four reports were CES. + + +TIME OF DAY +----------- +A surprise for 1991 was the Peak Time of Day for UFO reports. The mode (peak) +time is clearly 8:00 P.M. represents 21% sightings and the normal lull +activity time was between 6:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M were only 9.3% of the +sightings occurred. A consistent pattern over the past five years has been to +observe UFO sighting activity in the LATE HOURS of the evening. + + +RECURRING SIGHTING LOCATIONS +---------------------------- +In 1991 there were 20 towns or cities in 13 states reporting a total of 96 UFO +sightings. Those twenty towns reported two or more sightings within the 12 +month period of 1991. Those 96 sightings represent 48% of the total reports +for 1991. This is higher than normal but not unusual due to Gulf Breeze, +Florida, reporting 34 sightings. + + +HYNEK CLASS BREAKDOWN +--------------------- +Nocturnal Lights accounted for 74.5% of the total reports, this is higher than +the five year average of 67%. Daylight Disc reports for 1991 were 5.5%, which +is lower than the five years average or 8.3%. The Close Encounter Sightings +(CES) were also lower representing only 18% of the total, the five year +average is 22% + + +OBSERVATIONS +------------ +Although 1991 was a year of change in some aspects of the UFO phenomena, there +were no significant events that occurred. The fact that 57.5% of the total +sightings were of lights/illuminations (15% higher than the five year average) +may be significant in that it may be related to the 8:00 P.M. Peak Time for +sightings (this has not occurred in the past 5 years). The quality of +sightings occurring at 8:00 P.M. was actually higher than the five year +average for the Combined Peak Times. There were 14 reports of Trace Cases of +Crop Circies in the USA in 1991 (these were not included in the UFO data and +are only considered applicable if a UFO was observed before or after the +event). + +There were several odd "probability" sighting cases in 1991. There were two +Deltoid sightings in North Carolina which occurred during the day in two +separate towns at the SAME time of day, 11:45 A.M. These two reports occurred +within 2 months of each other. The duration of these Deltoid reports were 3 +seconds and 4 seconds in length. What is the probability of two Deltoid +reports to occur at the same time, and have a duration almost exactly the +same? There were three reports of "Rectangular" shaped objects in Pennsyvania, +two on the same day and both with five weeks of each other. + +Gulf Breeze, Florida is still reporting high numbers of UFO reports in 1991. +Several of these sightings have been documented of video tape. Many of the +Gulf Breeze reports were that of a single "red light". When looking at the +sighting data over the past five years of with respect to COLOR ONLY, Red was +the leading color.

Truman in 1947. Operation +Majestic-12, was created to take charge of the technical, +sociological and other aspects of the crashed UFOs and +the small alien occupants, dead or alive, that were +recovered. In later years this operation evolved into and +became known as MAJI (the Majority Agency for Joint +Intelligence). MAGI is the most secret of all +intelligence groups and out-ranks all other intelligence +agencies including the National Security Agency (NSA) and +the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). MAJI is +responsible directly and "only" to the President of the +United States. + +/ MAJIC / MAJI + + The TOP SECRET / MAJI project control group is +responsible for every aspect of interface with the alien +lifeforms including security and intelligence, and +disinformation to prevent public or foreign disclosure of +the alien presence. (This is why all documents referring +to "MJ-12" or any other form of that name are wrong). +MAJI is on-going in Washington DC. + + MAJIC: Is the security classification of all MAJI and +Aquarius information. MAJIC means "MAJI CONTROLLED." +MAJIC is the highest security classification in the +nation. + + MJ-1: DIRECTOR OF MAJI. The Director of the CIA is +usually MJ-1 and reports only to the President. Other +members of MAJI are designated MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, etc. +This is the reason MJ-12 cannot be used as a name for the +control group as it would cause confusion in meaning, +i.e., (Is it referring to MJ-12 the person or MJ-12 the +group.) Any reference to MJ-12 is to a person and +nothing else. References and documents referring to +"MJ-12" as a "Group" are incorrect. + + MAJI, originally was known as Majestic-12, a group +consisting of twelve members. This group was made up of +a team representing selected government officials, U.S. +intelligence personnel, highly trained scientists, +business executives and military personnel. All were +sworn to total secrecy. MAJI has continued its covert +activities with the knowledge and consent of the last +eight Presidents. (See Exhibit 1, part of the briefing +papers for president-elect Eisenhower.) + + The group continues to function today and has had the +responsibility of establishing an ongoing relationship +dating from 1964, with UFO beings (the Greys) from the +third planet of the star system Zeta Reticuli. + + Information forwarded to and the activity of MAJI has +always been assigned an Above "Top Secret +classification," known as MAJIC. MAJI, to conceal its +existence, adopted the cover name of "Majestic-12." It +created numerous covert and compartmented sub-divisions +such as Projects Aquarius, Sigma, Snowbird and Garnet, to +name a few. These projects were sheltered by MAJI and +directed by select personnel of the Central Intelligence +Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA). + + By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5410, Eisenhower +had preceded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent +committee to be known as Majority Twelve to oversee and +conduct all covert activities concerned with the alien +question. NSC 5412/1 was created to explain the purpose +of these meetings when Congress and the news media became +curious. Majority Twelve was made up of Nelson +Rockefeller, the director of the CIA Allen Welsh Dulles, +the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Secretary +of Defense Charles E. Wilson, the Chairman of the Joint +Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Director +of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, and six men from the +executive committee of the Council on Foreign Relations +known as the "Wise Men." These men were all members of a +secret society of scholars that called themselves "The +Jason Society," or "The Jason Scholars" who recruited +their members from the "Skull and Bones" and the "Scroll +and Key" societies of Harvard and Yale. + + The "Wise Men" were key members of the Council on +Foreign Relations. There were twelve members including +the first six from Government positions thus Majority +Twelve. This group was made up over the years of the top +officers and directors of the Council on Foreign +Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordon +Dean, George Bush, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among +them. The most important and influential of the "Wise +Men" who served on Majestic-12 were John McCloy, Robert +Lovett, Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan, +and Dean Acheson. It is significant that President +Eisenhower as well as the first six Majestic-12 members +from the Government were also members of the Council on +Foreign Relations. However, not all the "Wise Men" +attended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were chosen +from the "Skull and Bones" or "Scroll and Key" membership +during their college years. [{Research indicates that +various members were chosen on an ongoing basis by +invitation based upon merit and was not confined to those +who had attended only Harvard or Yale}] Further +information regarding this can be obtained from the book +"The Wise Men" by Walter Issacson and Even Thomas, Simon +and Schuster, New York. + + A chosen few were later initiated into the Jason +Society. They are all members of the Council on Foreign +Relations and at that time were known as the "Eastern +Establishment." The Jason Society is alive and well today +but has expanded to include members of the Trilateral +Commission as well. The Trilateralists' existed secretly +several years before 1973. The name of the Trilateral +Commission was taken from the alien flag known as the +"Trilateral Insignia." See Exhibit 10A The Jason +Society. + +- - - - - + +BACKGROUND: + + In 1947 and again in the early 1950's, Army and Air +Force military units -- on direct orders from the +Pentagon -- rushed to various sites of UFO crashes +located in the Southwestern part of the United States and +carted away the unearthly remains. Remains consisting of +both crashed UFOs and their alien occupants. The 1947 +events prompted the creation of Operation Majestic-12 by +President Truman. + + The wreckage and dead bodies obtained from these early +crash retrievals were originally stored at Wright +Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. According to +military sources who later went against orders and +decided to talk, Hangar 18 was used for this purpose. All +reports of crashed UFOs and extraterrestrial contacts +have always bypassed normal reporting procedures and +channels of the military, and other intelligence +agencies. Instead, they were sent directly to Project +Aquarius. (See Exhibits 2 and 3). + + All "hard" information regarding UFOs was routed +directly to Operation Majestic-12. This explains why +other intelligence agencies and Project Bluebook, [the +official and public Air Force investigative activity] +never received this information or knew about crashed +UFOs, recovered spacecraft, or alien beings. + + In later years, a joint CIA/AF covert operation, using +six C-124 aircraft, recovered the wreckage, instruments, +dead bodies and alien artifacts of crashed UFOs from +Wright Patterson and other Air Force bases, world-wide, +and moved them to a newly-built, underground, storage +facility at Edwards Air Force, California. The entrance +to this underground facility is through a hangar located +at the end of the same runway now used by NASA's space +shuttles. According to eye-witness testimony, the CIA +agent in charge of this covert operation, wearing the +uniform of an AF Colonel, was William C. Cooper. + + Note: The information in the preceding paragraph was +supplied by an eye-witness who participated in the covert +operation described, working side-by-side with the CIA +agent in charge. This witness testifies that this is the +same William C. Cooper, who has been prominent since 1988 +in the civilian UFO movement. + +CONCLUSIONS: + + The Ultimate Secret, is that MAJI and the U.S. +government has in its possession spaceships manufactured +on other worlds, as well as the occupants of those +interstellar crafts. And, that since 1964, has maintained +radio contact with the aliens through Project Sigma. They +have also entered into various technical and "trade +agreements" with the beings from Zeta Reticuli, named the +Greys. (See Exhibit 4). + + Note: Communication with the Greys (by Project Sigma) +has been an accomplished fact since April of 1964. +Therefore, the NASA sponsored "SETI" Program (The Search +for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is merely being used +as another method to provide covert funding for MAJI +projects under the guise of a legitimate program. (See +Exhibit 5). + + The Greys, as their part of the trade agreements, were +to provide MAJI and the U.S. government with various +forms of advanced technology. In exchange, the Greys are +provided with secret bases of operation within the United +States; bases protected by the Greys and U.S. Military +forces. In exchange, MAJI agreed to conceal all knowledge +of their presence. + + Part of the "trade agreements" was an exchange program +that allowed the aliens to abduct U.S. Citizens for +experimental medical, psychological and genetic research +purposes -- the Grey's were to provide lists of persons +abducted to the National Security Agency (NSA), for later +government follow-up if such persons, when released, +required medical assistance or psychological adjustment. + +ADDENDA + + During 1972-1973, a period of two years, an area South +of Groom Lake (one of the nation's most secret test +centers in Nevada) was closed and a huge underground +facility was constructed for and with the help of the +Greys. This facility was built South of Area-51 in +another location named Area-S4. This location is just +east of, and adjacent to the Nevada Atomic Test site. + + The bargained for technology was set in place, but +could only be operated by the Grey's themselves, to +prevent their advanced technology being used against +them. Another secret underground base was provided the +Greys in a location known as the "Ice Caves" near the Los +Alamos Laboratory Facility in New Mexico. Over a period +of the next six years, four more secret bases were +provided the Greys in other isolated areas of the United +States. + + During the years 1979 through 1983, it became +increasingly obvious to MAJI that things were not going +as planned. It became known that many more people (in the +thousands) were being abducted than were being listed on +the official abduction list. The list the Greys were +supplying the National Security Council, and MAJI. It was +apparent that the abductions included much more than the +simple monitoring experiments of an advanced +civilization. + + In late 1979, things had gotten almost entirely out of +hand when it became known that the Greys had implanted a +tiny probe, 3mm. in size, into the brains of certain +abductees before releasing them. MAJI investigators +determined the probe could be used to hypnotically and +telepathically program and monitor the person. In +addition, some abductees were programmed with unknown +post-hypnotic commands. The Greys also implanted tracking +devices just under the skin, on some abductees to monitor +their movements. Attempts, by hypnosis, to determine +the nature of the hypnotic programming and commands +implanted by the Greys, triggered life-threatening +physical symptoms in these individuals making these +efforts unsuccessful. It was later discovered that the +Greys were performing genetic cross-breeding experiments +on some of the human female abductees. In 1983, MAJI +discovered the full magnitude of the Grand Deception put +over by the Greys. They were also shocked when the Soviet +Union (USSR) admitted that they, too, had been deceived +and that the Greys had entered into similar Treaties and +agreements with them. MAJI was in a state of confusion +and near panic as they realized their plans were dashed, +along with their hopes and dreams of obtaining the Grey's +technology and the secrets of interstellar spaceflight. + + This caused MAJI to become split along factional +lines. One faction advocating confessing the scheme and +the shambles it had become to the public, begging their +forgiveness and asking for their support. Note: This +faction is responsible for the leaks of sensitive +information regarding the activities of Operation +Majestic-12. The other faction rejected this saying there +was no way they could do that, even though the situation +was untenable, stating there was no use in alarming the +public of either country with the horrible truth. + + This second faction won out and their plan to develop +a weapon that could be used against the Greys was +accepted by the Soviet Union. Under the guise of "SDI," +(a joint US/Soviet effort) the Strategic Defense +Initiative (Star Wars), this weapon was developed. SDI, +has nothing whatever to do with a defense against Soviet +nuclear missiles. The nick-name "Star Wars" was closer to +the truth than the uninformed public realized. + + The "alarm," publicly expressed by the Soviet Union +regarding SDI, and its opposition to the program, were +all artfully crafted to conceal the joint nature of the +program and to prevent the Greys learning its real +purpose. The United States and the Soviet Union have been +secret allies since 1983. + + Primarily, SDI is a weapon for use against the Greys' +underground bases or any attempted invasion from space. +However, to achieve funding from Congress and support +from the people, and to conceal its real nature from the +Greys, it had to be presented as a defense against a +nuclear strike from the USSR. + + The Soviet equivalent of MAJI used the same technique, +the development of a weapon to protect their country from +a U.S. nuclear strike, to obtain covert funding for the +joint effort. + + The threat from the Greys is taken so seriously by +MAJI, that President Reagan adamantly refused any +concessions on SDI. He continued to vigorously pursue its +development, and deployment, in spite of uninformed +scientific and congressional opposition. These opponents +never knew its real and intended purpose. + + To accomplish the true objectives of the SDI program, +MAJI created another ultra-secret project -- Project +Zeus. Project Zeus is revealed here for the first time. + + Project Zeus, created under the umbrella of MAJI, is +charged with the real purpose, direction, management, +development and eventual deployment of the SDI Weapons +System. It was aptly named for the mythical Greek God -- +Zeus. Only this time, it would be an angry Zeus hurling +laser and particle beam lightning bolts into the heavens +-- against an alien attack or, deflected by mirrors, +against secret alien bases on the Earth. + + In 1984, President Reagan in a public address +established the tone and seriousness of this endeavor +when he deliberately, or inadvertently, let slip the +remarks that the world may one day unite to fight a +threat from outer space. This was followed by a series of +subsequent remarks during the latter days of his term of +office. (See Exhibit 7). + + The basic information revealing the existence of +Operation Majestic-12, the crashed UFOs, alien beings, +and their secret bases within the United States, was +obtained through the Freedom of Information Act from the +files of the CIA, NSA, FBI, State Department, the U.S. +Air Force. Other intelligence data obtained by The +Phoenix Project has contributed to this report. + + These documents reveal the "Above Top Secret" nature +of Operation Majestic-12. They also verify that the +scientific discovery of all time has been hidden from the +people of Earth, and that both communications and +relationships with extraterrestrial alien beings have +already been achieved. And, that the radical new +technology the Greys possess could alter human +civilization overnight. + + Some of these documents obtained by various civilian +researchers, verify the fact that we are not alone in the +universe. The additional information contained in this +report, i.e., notes and comments, and some of the +conclusions (in the addenda) are based on intelligence +information from other confidential sources. + +PROJECT ZEUS + + In 1980, Lt. General Daniel O. Graham -- Department of +Defense Strategic Analyst, stated: "We need a bold new +approach. We must stop competing with the Greys in areas +where we can't win, and begin to compete where we have +the advantage." + + The result: A book by General Graham entitled "The +High Frontier," and the National Security Agency (NSA) +funded "Project High Frontier." This project used some of +the nation's best engineers and development scientists. + + This book and the project were the "red herring" +technique to sell the concept and proposal to Congress, +scientists, and the defense and aerospace industries. It, +supposedly, was a bold, new, defense plan for the United +States and Western Civilization. + + This was followed by another book "The Strategy of +Technology" by Stefan Possony and Jerry Pournelle. It +should be mentioned that neither of these two authors +dreamed their book would be used to further promote the +purposes of MAJI and Project Zeus. Its concept was to +abandon the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), +in favor of Assured Survival, in any conflict with the +USSR. + + The foregoing concepts (a Western Civilization Defense +Plan) and the covert efforts directed against the Greys +(Project Zeus) orchestrated by MAJI, were presented to +President Ronald Reagan. That presentation was +successful. On March 23, 1983, President Reagan made his +famous "Star Wars" speech -- and labeled it "The +Strategic Defense Initiative." Only in later speeches, +near the end of his term in office, did President Reagan +publicly mention the possibility of a hostile encounter +with extraterrestrials. + + The importance of this endeavor and the serious nature +of the threat presented by the Greys and the consequences +if Project Zeus were aborted, explain why the President +would not budge from his SDI position, even in the most +critical of nuclear arms' reduction negotiations with the +USSR, or critics in the scientific community and +Congress. + + It also explains why President George Bush, still the +head of MAJI, is continuing to press forward with the SDI +project. + + According to public statements by General James +Abrahamson, SDI Project Director, "SDI" research has +turned up five ways the weapon system could, and would +work. + + "SDI," (Project Zeus, the covert operation against any +possible space threat, threatening action or invasion +attempts by the Greys), "is based on two technological +discoveries: + + "1) That ground-based lasers are a feasible and a +likely way to defend a nation. Enormous lasers could be +built near large hydro-electric plants and operational +nuclear power plants, diverting the enormous output of +these sources to laser weapons. With such enormous lasers +and mirrors, in orbit to redirect the energy, it would +not be necessary to "point and shoot" such weapons; you +could raster an entire target area; sweeping the beam in +a deadly conical pattern to eliminate any target. +Planet-based laser weapons of such power could reach +beyond the Moon to engage and destroy hostile spaceships. + + "2) Press ahead with the research, development and +deployment of high-powered particle beam weapons from +orbiting space platforms and ground based installations." +(See Exhibit 8). + + MAJI's plans called for the funding, planning, +development, testing, and operational aspects of Project +Zeus to be concealed within the compartmented SDI +program. NASA, without knowledge of the real purpose +would orbit the necessary tracking and data relay +satellites, and Department of Defense (DOD) payloads of +laser mirrors. These SDI payloads were disguised and +classified as military communication, spy, and +navigational satellites. + +ADDENDA - continued + + On April 4, 1983, Project Zeus "got off the ground" +with the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger -- +a clear indication of the high-priority this project +commanded. The first of the SDI Tracking and Data Relay +Satellites (TDRS-A) was placed in orbit. + + This was followed on August 30, 1984, when the Shuttle +Discovery, on its maiden flight, launched SYNCOM IV-2 the +second communications satellite for the Department of +Defense (DOD). + + The SYNCOM satellites are DOD's high-priority command +and communications links with all U.S. military forces +worldwide. The on-going NASA Missions concerned with +Project Zeus and SDI, are identified in the attached +exhibits. + + Note: It is obvious that the Greys became suspicious +of the intense launch activity of NASA and the number of +Defense Department (DOD) payloads being placed in orbit +-- more than would logically be needed to counter a +nuclear strike by the USSR. + + Evidence to support this is their increasing +surveillance of the Space Shuttle missions and the +reported intercept, boarding, and inspection of the +Shuttle Discovery's cargo on 3/13/89. (See Exhibit 9). +They must suspect the real purpose of the SDI program. If +future SDI or DOD missions are interfered with it will +confirm this premise. + +ABSTRACT: + + Operation Majestic-12 -- was created by the executive +order of President Truman on September 24, 1947, and its +first head was Dr. Vannevar Bush, the president's Chief +Science Advisor. The current head of Majestic-12 known +variously as Majority Twelve, Majority, MJ-12, Majority +Agency for Joint Intelligence (MAJI), was Vice President +and former CIA Director George Bush (1988). As of 1/8/89, +President George Bush. Today, this group operates under +the "public name" of the Senior Interagency Group (SIG). + + The organizational structure of MAJI, is as follows: + + GRUDGE/PROJECT AQUARIUS: An umbrella group consisting +of MAJI, the CIA and the NSA in which all the various +compartments dealing with ET-related issues perform their +various functions. Under Project Aquarius four groups, +each consisting of several hundred persons, conducts +secret UFO investigations and research in four assigned +areas of the United States. (See Exhibit 6) + + Separate projects under the umbrella of Project +Aquarius are: + + PROJECT GRUDGE: This project was originally +established in 1953, by order of President Eisenhower and +is under the control of the CIA, NSA, and MAJI. Project +Grudge went underground and another project, Project +Sign, was established as a cover operation. + + In 1960, the Project's name was changed from Project +SIGN to Project Bluebook. Project Aquarius, became the +overall umbrella operation controlling all these +projects. Project Aquarius was funded by CIA confidential +funds (non-appropriated). The Project assumed full +responsibility for investigation and intelligence of +UFOs/IACs in December 1969 after Project Grudge/Blue Book +was closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius was to +collect all scientific, technological, medical and +intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and +contacts with alien lifeforms. This orderly file of +collected information has been used to advance the United +States' Space Program and provided the data needed to +develop present stealth technology. + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT PLATO: Originally established as +part of Project SIGN in 1954 to establish diplomatic +relations with the Aliens. This Project was successful +when mutually acceptable terms were agreed upon. These +terms involved the exchange of technology for secrecy of +the Alien presence and non-interference in Alien affairs. +This Project is controlled by a secret task force +headquartered at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in +New Mexico and is ongoing. + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT SIGMA: Conducts electronic +communications with extraterrestrials, part of an +on-going contact project run by and through the NSA since +as early as late 1963 which led to the Holloman AFB +incident of April 25, 1964. (See Exhibit 4). + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT GARNET: Closed down, supposedly, on +completion of its studies. Project Garnet's purpose was +to investigate extraterrestrial influence on human +affairs and evolution. + + GRUDGE - AQUARIUS; PROJECT REDLIGHT: Originally +established in 1954, the mission of Project Redlight was +to test fly recovered alien craft. This project, carried +out at Area 51 (Groom Lake) and Area S4 in Nevada was +postponed after every attempt resulted in destruction of +the craft and the death of the pilots. Project Redlight +was resumed in 1972 and has since been partially +successful. UFO sightings of craft accompanied by black +helicopters are Project Redlight's assets. This project +is ongoing at Area 51 in Nevada. + + REDLIGHT; PROJECT SNOWBIRD: Originally established in +1954. Its mission was to develop [using conventional +technology] and fly a flying saucer type craft for the +public. This project was successful when a craft was +built and flown in front of the press. This project was +used to explain UFO sightings and to divert public +attention from Project Redlight. + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT PLUTO: Established to evaluate all +UFO/IAC information pertaining to the alien space +visitors. This project is ongoing. Pluto is the proword +for Pounce. + + PLUTO; PROJECT POUNCE: Originally known as Project +Moondust, this project, was formed to recover all +downed/crashed craft and aliens and provided cover +stories and operations to mask the true endeavor when +necessary. Covers which have been used: crashed +experimental aircraft, construction, mining, etc. This +project has also been successful and continues to this +date. + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT GABRIEL: This project was tasked +with developing a low frequency pulsed sound generator +when it was determined that the alien weapons and craft +would be vulnerable to this weapon. It is questionable +whether this project exists today. It was derived from +technology captured from Germany during and after WWII. +Intelligence sources have verified its previous existence +but cannot verify whether it is ongoing or has been +terminated. + + AQUARIUS; PROJECT EXCALIBUR: Established to develop +a weapon which would destroy the alien underground bases +and any future underground bases which the aliens might +construct. It is to be a missile capable of penetrating +1000 meters of tufa/hard packed soil such as that found +in New Mexico with no operational damage. Missile apogee +is not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL. Impact must not deviate +in excess of 50 meters from a designated target. The +device is designed to carry a 1-megaton nuclear warhead. +This project is ongoing at the WX Division, LANL, Los +Alamos, New Mexico but is still in development. + + In a secured area of the basement of CIA Headquarters +in Langley, Virginia are sixteen columns of file cabinets +containing thousands of folders of documented information +collected from the beginning of the United States' +investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and +Identified Alien Crafts (IAC). These are the files of +Operation Majestic-12 and Project Aquarius and are known +as "The Bible." This Bible contains all the various +reports on aspects of alien visitations. Each president, +since Truman, has been briefed on Operation Majestic-12. + + Some past and present members of Operation Majestic-12 +and MAJI include: + + Dr. Vannevar Bush - Science Advisor to President + Truman. + Dr. Detley Bronk -- Former John's Hopkins + University. + General Nathan Twining -- Former Air Force Chief + of Staff. + Richard Helms -- Former Director, Central + Intelligence Agency (CIA). + General Robert Cutler -- Former Asst. to President + Eisenhower. + Admiral Roscow H.

Currently + President of the United States. + Robert M. Gates -- Director CIA (1991). + + The existence of Operation Majestic-12 has been +revealed by the dissident element within Majority Twelve +and leaked to the public on at least three occasions: + + 1) On April, 9, 1983 -- To independent television +documentary producer Linda Howe. Ms. Howe was under +contract with HBO (the cable TV network) to produce a +documentary entitled "UFOs -- The ET Factor." On the +above date, Ms. Howe was shown a document regarding +Majestic-12, by an Air Force officer. It was entitled "A +Briefing Paper for the President of the United States of +America on the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles." +The name "Majic" was prominent at the head of the +document. (See Exhibit 1) + + Note: Former Agent Richard Doty, Air Force Office of +Special Investigations, is the officer mentioned in the +above paragraph. + + In December 1984, via the mail, in a plain brown +envelope, to private UFO investigator Bill Moore and his +film producer friend, and associate, Mr. Jaime Shandera. +Mr. Bill Moore is a well known private UFO investigator, +and is co-author, with Charles Berlitz, of the book "The +Roswell Incident." Unknown to the public is the fact +that Bill Moore was recruited as an agent of the CIA. + + The envelope contained an undeveloped roll of 35mm +film. When the film was processed it contained a +photograph of a briefing paper prepared for +President-elect Eisenhower, and other documents. The +first page of the document is reproduced and shown as +Exhibit A. Other sections of the document contained +information regarding details of crashed UFOs and +humanoid bodies, and information regarding the +ultra-secret Operation Majestic-12 group which deals with +these issues. + + 3) On May 31, 1987, when the existence of an +ultra-secret U.S. UFO Project -- "Majestic," was +published on the front page of the London Observer, a +British newspaper. British writer Timothy Good, had +obtained the information through sources connected with +England's Ministry of Defense. In 1988, it was alleged +that Bill Moore had become an agent of Operation +Majestic-12 and had been "planted" in the civilian UFO +movement for the purpose of providing dis-information to +mis-guide and confuse other UFO researchers. + +NASA MISSIONS CONCERNED WITH PROJECT ZEUS AND SDI + + 4/4/83 -- Project Zeus - SDI -- Shuttle Challenger, +Mission STS-6 +NASA, KSC Release # 107-86 + + The first flight of the Shuttle Challenger lifted off +at 1:30 p.m. EST this date.

Your + thoughts and feelings are now more than ever in a state of a + desperate need to link up to your task and deed and find where + you are supposed to be, then if at all possible finish last + minute details. In doing so you will be disconnecting from + life's attachments which hold you fast and prevent you from + linking up to your group of twelve or whatever your job is. + You now feel more than ever that time has become almost + nonexistent and any delay in your part ill sever the connection + you feel most drawn to as your part to this whole thing. Your + greatest fear now is not that it all is an illusion as the world + crumbles around you, but rather a great fear of loosing what + before you thought was not quite real you now realize was and is. + To take the big step is now your present dilemma. To leave all + and cast fate to the wind letting Spirit take the driver's seat + thus propelling you forward in complete trust all will be al- + right; you know you will not parish by this your greatest of all + decisions you now face and now know you must make. + We, at the headquarters command, realize your dilemma and + must say in all sincerity that we took the final separation or + plunge into the unknown and did survive it. It is important to + know that if you are at present on the east coast that this is + your sector and is your duty station although you may or may not + be in your exact location in the sector. We in our understanding + realize the great confusion many must feel and we do feel your + anxiety as we too once were faced with similar decisions and + confusion. We made the move and eventually our decision to do so + benefited us and served us well. Meaning, in do so we are better + off now than we could have achieved by holding back. + If, for some reason, you have not realized your inner voice + connection but feel very strongly drawn to one who has they are + your mentor and guide in this up and coming move to your duty + station. I'm referring to those now finalizing their last minute + business preparing for the final move. If you feel an insepara- + ble connection with this person and realize it is also time for + you to leave, then follow their lead. Certain things must form + and certain groups must merge in the little time left before + Earth goes into final mutational changes. Beyond this time left + little if any chance will remain in the year to follow of any + possibility for this to occur. Time is running out fast. + This is not said to frighten you but rather to reinforce + your inner knowledge that now, more than ever before, is the time + for action. Those holding their ground must support as their + part the coming needs as one solidly based group for others being + told to do so. In this we are referring to those sending needed + revenues to those forming the places they and others will at the + very last minute be instructed to go to. If these places are not + set up and firmly in place, created by those in the position to + help finance them, along with those out in the field with experi- + + + + + + + ence to create them then dear ones they will not be there when + the final hour approaches. The need for these places and their + use will be self evident to all they will serve and their need + has been channeled to many. + You have been told that certain times were coming and that + certain things needed to be understood and done in order for + other things to follow in a prescribed plan of action. Because + of a rampant, scattered response and in some instances a stubborn + denial in following inner guidance plus a lack of real + commitment, certain things are now in a state of disarray creat- + ing in many aspects a plan now with many cracks in it. + We are now telling you that the hour is late and the need is + great to finally get on track and do as a committed combined + group the needed things or the result will most assuredly be a + mass loss of our ranks because of a lack of true direction in the + things coming and already here. The tide has shifted and our + real position has shifted severally because of many creating + cracks in the mission of creating Heaven on Earth. This resulted + in a stubborn fixation of following instead of developing inner + guidance thereby letting others create your reality instead of + creating the flowing communication to Spirit we were all supposed + to open. If this were done updates would be unnecessary. + It constantly comes to may ears that this person said that + or that person said this. All this creates is many running + hither and fro accomplishing nothing but false followings for + those who feel they need to gather many around them. Have you + all forgotten the story of the blind leading the blind?? + This is your only recourse - it is better to follow those by + the fruits that their labor bare as your reason rather than the + words of this one or that one. The Reality of this is that the + fruits are spawned by those doing, not by those telling you this + or that and getting rich by those than blindly follow this one or + that one. Do you understand?? Those doing are the ones who + should be drawing your attention not those casting pretty words + upon the waters and little else. If you see a plan actually + evolving not just words chances are these people are really doing + something for the good of Earth and all life forms here. These + words are not hollow but filled with wisdom and hardship by the + actual hands on doing with (for the most part) little support. + Many get fat living off pretty words that many of you support + fully but in reality they are not doing anything but living off + your ignorance and your gullibility. At the same time the hour + nears and real things of real worth are not being done or sup- + ported because those actually doing are scrapping an empty pot as + the means are not there for the important work and things which + need to be done. All life down here effects you dear ones as you + are a part of all life. + One of these people came here one day. She said, "Boy, you + are scrapping the bottom of the barrel aren't you?" This same + person drags gullible people to her to the tune of three or four + or more hundred dollars a day. She is fat from these gullible + fools who receive a kind word or some false guidance, when in + reality their real guidance lies within. But for some reason or + another it is much easier to get a lie or false reading versus + hearing the voice of God within by just listening. Pretty words + won't get you over the bridge no matter what these people tell + + + + + + + you. For years nothing has been shown to me that this person has + done with all this wealth accumulated. We still wait to see even + a gesture of support from these people. + In my particular situation I have never gone to one of these + and my part in the mission is deeply entrenched in fertile soil + as Jesus spoke about in the final days versus faith that sits on + a rock easily dislodged. So there you have it. Your guidance + whether true or false will stand on its worth as baring good + fruit or not. Rest assured your job here on Earth in the final + hour will be known for the fruit it will bare helping others in + the times of need directly ahead. + Now read these words carefully!! None of you will be res- + cued or survive the times ahead as single entities standing alone + in an approaching storm. The times ahead are going to be rough. + Some of you have been told to stay put as you are in a position + to help as you are already set up to do so. Some of your are + being told to move, link up and become a part of those doing as a + group in order to prepare for a variety of things that need doing + at this time. These things range from embassies to life off + sights and the formation of Islands of Light bringing many new + things for those in need to experience and learn in order to + survive the times ahead. Now is the time for a change of lack of + support to actual hands on doing in all endeavors. Make no + mistake the time is here and each and every one of you had better + heed the call "now is the time" as this call will be the very + last, there being little time left. All other calls will ring in + your ears as another matter completely different because of + changes directly ahead. A lot now needs doing and very little + time remains. + Our purpose, our reason for being here is our part and our + love of all life in bringing many into the reality of living into + the times ahead and actually seeing Heaven on Earth. Few if any + will have than chance if we continue in scattered mixed ideas of + our reasons for being light workers at this time and continue + following those in the past that did nothing but tell us pretty + words and did nothing beyond those words in creating Heaven on + Earth. Look to those now doing. + It is my sincere hope our reason and our goals in creating + Heaven on Earth will bare the fruit of the eternal one we love + and that love will be experienced by all those we came to help + here on Earth.

Carpenter + Co-Editor: + Lt. Colonel Edward R. Therkelson + CHAPTER XIII + UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + What is an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO)? Well, according to United + States Air Force Regulation 80-17 (dated 19 September 1966), a UFO is "Any" + aerial Phenomenon or object which is unknown or appears to be out of the + ordinary to the observer." This is a very broad definition which applies + equally well to one individual seeing his first noctilucent cloud at + twilight as it does to another individual seeing his first helicopter. + However, at present most people consider the term UFO to mean an object + which behaves in a strange or erratic manner while moving through the + Earth's atmosphere. That strange phenomenon has evoked strong emotions + and great curiosity among a large segment of our world's population. The + average person is interested because he loves a mystery, the professional + military man is involved because of the possible threat to national + security, and some scientists are interested because of the basic curiosity + that led them into becoming researchers. + + The literature on UFO's is so vast, and the stories so many and varied, + that we can only present a sketchy outline of the subject in this chapter. + That outline includes description classifications, operational domains + (temporal and spatial), some theories as to the nature of the UFO + phenomenon, human reactions, attempts to attack the problem scientifically, + and some tentative conclusions. If you wish to read further in this area, + the references provide an excellent starting point. + + 33.1 DESCRIPTIONS + + One of the greatest problems you encounter when attempting to catalog + UFO sightings, is selection of a system for cataloging. No effective + system has yet been devised, although a number of different systems have + been proposed. The net result is that almost all UFO data are either + treated in the form of individual cases, or in the forms of inadequate + classification systems. However, these systems do tend to have some common + factors, and a collection of these factors is as follows: + + a. Size + b. Shape (disc, ellipse, football, etc.) + c. Luminosity + d. Color + e.

During + this discussion, please remember that the more ancient the reports the less + sophisticated the observer. Not only were the ancient observers lacking + the terminology necessary to describe complex devices (such as present day + helicopters) but they were also lacking the concepts necessary to + understand the true nature of such things as television, spaceships, + rockets, nuclear weapons and radiation effects. To some, the most + advanced technological concept was a war chariot with knife blades attached + to the wheels. By the same token, the very lack of accurate terminology + and descriptions leaves the more ancient reports open to considerable + misinterpretation, and it may well be that present evaluations of + individual reports are completely wrong. Nevertheless, let us start with + an intriguing story in one of the oldest chronicles of India...the Book of + Dzyan. + + The book is a group of "story-teller" legends which were finally + gathered in manuscript form when man learned to write. One of the stories + is of a small group of beings who supposedly came to Earth many thousands + of years ago in a metal craft which orbited the Earth several times before + landing. As told in the Book "These beings lived to themselves and were + revered by the humans among whom they had settled. But eventually + differences arose among them and they divided their numbers, several of the + men and women and some children settled in another city, where they were + promptly installed as rulers by the awe-stricken populace. + + "Separation did not bring peace to these people and finally their + anger reached a point where the ruler of the original city took with him + a small number of his warriors and they rose into the air in a huge shining + metal vessel. While they were many leagues from the city of their enemies, + they launched a great shining lance that rode on a beam of light. It burst + apart in the city of their enemies with a great ball of flame that shot up + to the heavens, almost to the stars. All those who were in the city were + horribly burned and even those who were not in the city - but nearby - were + burned also. Those who looked upon the lance and the ball of fire were + blinded forever afterward. Those who entered the city on foot became ill + and died. Even the dust of the city was poisoned, as were the rivers that + flowed through it. Men dared not go near it, and it gradually crumbled + into dust and was forgotten by men." + + "When the leader saw what he had done to his own people he retired to + his palace and refused to see anyone. Then he gathered about him those + warriors who remained, and their wives and children, and they entered their + vessels and rose one by one into the sky and sailed away. Nor did they + return." + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Continued - + + + ( Page Four ) + + CUFON - UFO Information Service Seattle, Washington +________________________________________________________________ + + Could this foregoing legend really be an account of an extraterrestrial + colonization, complete with guided missle, nuclear warhead and radiation + effects? It is difficult to assess the validity of that explanation... + just as it is difficult to explain why Greek, Roman and Nordic Mythology + all discuss wars and contacts among their "Gods." (Even the Bible records + conflict between the legions of God and Satan.) Could it be that each + group recorded their parochial view of what was actually a global conflict + among alien colonists or visitors? Or is it that man has led such a + violent existence that he tends to expect conflict and violence among even + his gods? + + Evidence of perhaps an even earlier possible contact was uncovered by + Tschi Pen Lao of the University of Peking. He discovered astonishing + carvings in granite on a mountain in Hunan Province and on an island in + Lake Tungting. These carvings have been evaluated as 47,000 years old, and + they show people with large trunks (breathing apparatus?...or "elephant" + heads shown on human bodies? Remember, the Egyptians often represented + their gods as animal heads on human bodies.) + + Only 8,000 years ago, rocks were sculpted in the Tassili plateau of + Sahara, depicting what appeared to be human beings but with strange round + heads (helmets? or "sun" heads on human bodies?) And even more recently, + in the Bible, Genesis (6:4) tells of angels from the sky mating with women + of Earth, who bore them children. Genesis 19:3 tells of Lot meeting two + angels in the desert and his later feeding them at his house. The Bible + also tells a rather unusual story of Ezekiel who witnessed what has been + interpreted by some to have been a spacecraft or aircraft landing near the + Chebar River in Chaldea (593 B.C.). + + Even the Irish have recorded strange visitations. In the Speculum + Regali in Konungs Skuggsa (and other accounts of the era about 956 A.D.) + are numerous stories of "demonships" in the skies. In one case a rope from + one such ship became entangled with part of a church. A man from the ship + climbed down the rope to free it, but was seized by the townspeople. The + bishop made the people release the man, who climbed back to the ship, + where the crew cut the rope and the ship rose and sailed out of sight. + In all of his actions, the climbing man appeared as if he were swimming + in water. Stories such as this makes one wonder if the legends of the + "little people" of Ireland were based upon imagination alone. + + About the same time, in Lyons (France) three men and a women supposedly + descended from an airship or spaceship and were captured by a mob. These + foreigners admitted to being wizards, and were killed. (No mention is + made of the methods employed to extract the admissions.) Many documented + UFO sightings occurred throughout the Middle Ages, including an especially + startling one of a UFO over London on 16 December 1742. However, we do + not have room to include any more of the Middle Ages sightings. Instead, + two "more-recent" sightings are contained in this section to bring us up to + modern times. + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Continued - + + + ( Page Five ) + + CUFON - UFO Information Service Seattle, Washington + +________________________________________________________________ + + + In a sworn statement dated 21 April 1897, a prosperous and prominent + farmer named Alexander Hamilton (Le Roy, Kansas, U.S.A.) told of an attack + upon his cattle at about 10:30 p.m. the previous Monday. He, his son, and + his tenant grabbed axes and ran some 700 feet from the house to the cow + lot where a great cigar-shaped ship about 300 feet long floated some 30 + feet above the cattle. It had a carriage underneath which was brightly + lighted within (dirigible and gondola?) and which had numerous windows. + Inside were six strange looking beings jabbering in a foreign language. + These beings suddenly became aware of Hamilton and the others. They + immediately turned a searchlight on the farmer, and also turned on some + power which sped up a turbine wheel (about 30 ft diameter) located under + the craft. The ship rose, taking with it a two-year old heifer which was + roped about the neck by a cable of one-half inch thick, red material. The + next day a neighbor, Link Thomas, found the animal's hide, legs and head + in his field. He was mystified at how the remains got to where they were + because of the lack of tracks in the soft soil. Alexander Hamilton's sworn + statement was accompanied by an affidavit as to his veracity. The + affidavit was signed by ten of the local leading citizens. + + On the evening of 4 November 1957 at Fort Itaipu, Brazil, two sentries + noted a "new star" in the sky. The "star" grew in size and within seconds + stopped over the fort. It drifted slowly downward, was as large as a big + aircraft, and was surround by a strong orange glow. A distinct humming + sound was heard, and then the heat struck. One sentry collapsed almost + immediately, the other managed to slide to shelter under the heavy cannons + where his loud cries awoke the garrison. While the troops were scrambling + towards their battle stations, complete electrical failure occurred. + There was panic until the lights came back on but a number of men still + managed to see an orange glow leaving the area at high speed. Both + sentries were found badly burned...one unconscious and the other incoherent, + suffering from deep shock. + + Thus, UFO sightings not only appear to extend back to 47,000 years + through time but also are global in nature. One has the feeling that + this phenomenon deserves some sort of valid scientific investigation, even + if it is a low level effort. + 33.3 SOME THEORIES AS TO THE NATURE OF THE UFO PHENOMENON + There are very few cohesive theories as to the nature of UFO's. Those + theories that have been advanced can be collected in five groups: + a. Mysticism + b. Hoaxes, and rantings due to unstable personalities + c. Secret Weapons + d. Natural Phenomena + e. Alien visitors + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Continued - + + PAGE SIX +________________________________________________________________ + + Mysticism + + It is believed by some cults that the mission of UFO's and their crews + is a spiritual one, and that all materialistic efforts to determine the + UFO's nature are doomed to failure. + + Hoaxes and Rantings due to Unstable Personalities + + Some have suggested that all UFO reports were the results of pranks + and hoaxes, or were made by people with unstable personalities. This + attitude was particularly prevalent during the time period when the Air + Force investigation was being operated under the code name of Project + Grudge. A few airlines even went as far as to ground every pilot who + reported seeing a "flying saucer." The only way for the pilot to regain + flight status was to undergo a psychiatric examination. There was a + noticeable decline in pilot reports during this time interval, and a few + interpreted this decline to prove that UFO's were either hoaxes or the + result of unstable personalities. It is of interest that NICAP (The + National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) even today still + receives reports from commercial pilots who neglect to notify either the + Air Force or their own airline. + + There are a number of cases which indicate that not all reports fall + in the hoax category. We will examine one such case now. It is the + Socorro, New Mexico sighting made by police Sergeant Lonnie Zamora. + Sergeant Zamora was patrolling the streets of Socorro on 24 April 1964 + when he saw a shiny object drift down into an area of gullies on the edge + of town. He also heard a loud roaring noise which sounded as if an old + dynamite shed located out that way had exploded. He immediately radioed + police headquarters, and drove out toward the shed. Zamora was forced to + stop about 150 yards away from a deep gully in which there appeared to be + an overturned car. He radioed that he was investigating a possible wreck, + and then worked his car up onto the mesa and over toward the edge of the + gully. He parked short, and when he walked the final few feet to the edge, + he was amazed to see that it was not a car but instead was a weird + eggshaped object about fifteen feet long, white in color and resting on + short, metal legs. Beside it, unaware of his presence were two humanoids + dressed in silvery coveralls. They seemed to be working on a portion of + the underside of the object. Zamora was still standing there, surprised, + when they suddenly noticed him and dove out of sight around the object. + Zamora also headed the other way, back toward his car. He glanced back at + the object just as a bright blue flame shot down from the underside. + Within seconds the eggshaped thing rose out of the gully with "an ear- + -splitting roar." The object was out of sight over the nearby mountains + almost immediately, and Sergeant Zamora was moving the opposite direction + almost as fast when he met Sergeant Sam Chavez who was responding to Zamora' +s + earlier radio calls. Together they investigated the gully and found the + bushes charred and still smoking where the blue flame had jetted down on + them. About the charred area were four deep marks where the metal legs + had been. Each mark was three and one half inches deep, and was circular + in shape. The sand in the gully was very hard packed so no sign of the + humanoids' footprints could be found. An official investigation was + launched that same day, and all data obtained supported the stories of + Zamora and Chavez. It is rather difficult to label this episode a hoax, + and it is also doubtful that both Zamora and Chavez shared portions of the + same hallucination. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + PAGE SEVEN +________________________________________________________________ + + Secret Weapons + + A few individuals have proposed that UFO's are actually advanced weapon + systems, and that their natures must not be revealed. Very few people + accept this as a credible suggestion. + + Natural Phenomena + + It has also been suggested that at least some, and possibly all, of the + UFO cases were just mis-interpreted manifestations of natural phenomena. + Undoubtedly this suggestion has some merit. People have reported, as UFO's, + objects which were conclusively proven to be balloons (weather and skyhook), + the planet Venus, man-made artificial satellites, normal aircraft, unusual + cloud formations, and lights from ceilometers (equipment projecting light + beams on cloud bases to determine the height of the aircraft visual ceiling) +. + It is also suspected that people have reported mirages, optical illusions, + swamp gas and ball lightning (a poorly-understood discharge of electrical + energy in a spheroidal or ellipsoidal shape...some charges have lasted for + up to fifteen minutes but the ball is usually no bigger than a large orange. +) + But it is difficult to tell a swamp dweller that the strange, fast-moving + light he saw in the sky was swamp gas; and it is just as difficult to tell + a farmer that a bright UFO in the sky is the same ball lightning that he + has seen rolling along his fence wires in dry weather. Thus accidental + mis-identification of what might well be natural phenomena breeds mistrust + and disbelief; it leads to the hasty conclusion that the truth is + deliberatly not being told. One last suggestion of interest has been made, + that the UFO's were plasmoids from space...concentrated blobs of solar wind + that succeeded in reaching the surface of the Earth. Somehow this last + suggestion does not seem to be very plausible; perhaps because it ignores + such things as penetration of Earth's magnetic field. + + Alien Visitors + + The most stimulating theory for us is that the UFO's are material + objects which are either "Manned" or remote-controlled by beings who are + alien to this planet. There is some evidence supporting this viewpoint. + In addition to police Sergeant Lonnie Zamora's experience, let us consider + the case of Barney and Betty Hill. On a trip through New England they + lost two hours on the night of 19 September 1961 without even realizing it. + However, after that night both Barney and Betty began developing + psychological problems which eventually grew sufficienty severe that they + submitted themselves to psychiatric examination and treatment. During the + course of treatment hypnotherapy was used, and it yielded remarkably + detailed and similar stories from both Barney and Betty. Essentially + they had been hypnotically kidnapped, taken aboard a UFO, submitted to + two-hour physicals, and released with posthypnotic suggestions to forget + the entire incident. The evidence is rather strong that this is what the + Hills, even in their subconscious, believe happened to them. And it is of + particular importance that after the "posthypnotic block" was removed, both + of the Hills ceased having their psychological problems. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + PAGE EIGHT +________________________________________________________________ + + The Hill's description of the aliens was similar to descriptions + provided in other cases, but this particular type of alien appears to be + in the minority. The most commonly described alien is about three and one- + half feet tall, has a round head (helmet?), arms reaching to or below his + knees, and is wearing a silvery space suit or coveralls. Other aliens + appear to be essentially the same as Earthmen, while still others have + particularily wide (wrap around) eyes and mouths with very thin lips. And + there is a rare group reported as about four feet tall, weight of around + 35 pounds, and covered with thick hair or fur (clothing?). Members of this + last group are described as being extremely strong. If such beings are + visiting Earth, two questions arise: 1) why haven't there been any accidents + which have revealed their presence, and 2) why haven't they attempted to + contact us officially? The answer to the first question may exist partially + in Sergeant Lonnie Zamora's experience, and may exist partially in the + Tunguska meteor discussed in Chapter XXIX. In that chapter it was suggested + that the Tonguska meteor was actually a comet which exploded in the + atmosphere, the ices melted and the dust spread out. Hence, no debris! + However, it has also been suggested that the Tunguska meteor was actually + an alien spacecraft that entered the atmosphere to rapidly, suffered + mechanical failure, and lost its power supply and/or weapons in a nuclear + explosion. While that hypothesis may seem far fetched, sample of tree + rings from around the world reveal that, immediately after the Tunguska + meteor explosion, the level of radioactivity in the world rose sharply for + a short period of time. It is difficult to find a natural explanation for + that increase in radioactivity, although the suggestion has been advanced + that enough of the meteor's great kinetic energy was converted into heat + (by atmospheric friction) that a fusion reaction occurred. This still + leaves us with no answer to the second question: why no contact? That + question is very easy to answer in several ways: 1) we may be the object + of intensive sociological and psychological study. In such studies you + usually avoid disturbing the test subjects' environment; 2) you do not + "contact" a colony of ants, and humans may seem that way to any aliens + (variation: a zoo is fun to visit, but you don't "contact" the lizards); + 3) such contact may have already taken place secretly; and 4) such contact + may have already taken place on a different plane of awareness and we are + not yet sensitive to communications on such a plane. These are just a few + of the reasons. You may add to the list as you desire. + + 33.4 HUMAN FEAR AND HOSTILITY + + Besides the foregoing reasons, contacting humans is downright dangerous. + Think about that for a moment! On the microscopic level our bodies reject + and fight (through production antibodies) any alien material; this process + helps us fight off disease but it also sometimes results in allergic + reactions to innocuous materials. On the macroscopic (psychological and + sociological) level we are antagonistic to beings that are "different". + For proof of that, just watch how an odd child is treated by other children, + or how a minority group is socially deprived, or how the Arabs feel about + the Israelis (Chinese vs Japanese, Turks vs Greeks, etc.) In case you are + hesitant to extend that concept to the treatment of aliens let me point + out that in very ancient times, possible extraterrestrials may have been + treated as Gods but in the last two thousand years, the evidence is that + any possible aliens have been ripped apart by mobs, shot and shot at, + physically assaulted, and in general treated with fear and aggression. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + PAGE NINE +________________________________________________________________ + + In Ireland about 1,000 A.D., supposed airships were treated as "demon- + ships." In Lyons, France, "admitted" space travellers were killed. More + recently, on 24 July 1957 Russian anti-aircraft batteries on the Kouril + Islands opened fire on UFO's. Although all Soviet anti-aircraft batteries + on the Islands were in action, no hits were made. The UFO's were luminous + and moved very fast. We too have fired on UFO's. About ten o'clock one + morning, a radar site near a fighter base picked up a UFO doing 700 mph. + The UFO then slowed to 100 mph, and two F-86's were scrambled to intercept. + Eventually one F-86 closed on the UFO at about 3,000 feet altitude. The + UFO began to accelerate away but the pilot still managed to get within 500 + yards of the target for a short period of time. It was definately saucer- + shaped. As the pilot pushed the F-86 at top speed, the UFO began to pull + away. When the range reached 1,000 yards, the pilot armed his guns and + fired in an attempt to down the saucer. He failed, and the UFO pulled away + rapidly, vanishing in the distance. This same basic situation may have + happened on a more personal level. On Sunday evening 21 August 1955, eight + adults and three children were on the Sutton Farm (one-half mile from Kelly, + Kentucky) when, according to them, one of the children saw a brightly + glowing UFO settle behind the barn, out of sight from where he stood. + Other witnesses on nearby farms also saw the object. However, the Suttons + dismissed it as a "shooting star," and did not investigate. Approximately + thirty minutes later (at 8 p.m.), the family dogs began barking so two of + the men went to the back door and looked out. Approximately 50 feet away + and coming toward them was a creature wearing a glowing silvery suit. It + was about three and one-half feet tall with a large round head and very + long arms. It had large webbed hands which were equipped with claws. The + two Suttons grabbed a twelve guage shotgun and a 22 caliber pistol, and + fired at close range. They could hear the pellets and bullet ricochet as + if off of metal. The creature was knocked down, but jumped up and + scrambled away. The Suttons retreated into the house, turned off all + inside lights, and turned on the porch-light. At that moment, one of the + women who was peeking out of the dining room window discovered that a + creature with some sort of helmet and wide slit eyes was peeking back at + her. She screamed, the men rushed in and started shooting. The creature + was knocked backwards but again scrambled away without apparent harm. More + shooting occurred (a total of about 50 rounds) over the next 20 minutes and + the creatures finally left (perhaps feeling unwelcome?) After about a two + hour wait (for safety), the Suttons left too. By the time the police got + there, the aliens were gone but the Suttons would not move back to the farm. + They sold it and departed. This reported incident does bear out the + contention though that humans are dangerous. At no time in the story did + the supposed aliens shoot back, although one is left with the impression + that the described creatures were having fun scaring humans. + + 33.5 ATTEMPTS AT SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES + + In any scientific endeavor, the first step is to aquire data, the + second step to clasify the data, and the third step to form hypothesis. + The hypothesis are tested by repeating the entire process, with each cycle + resulting in an increase in understanding (we hope). The UFO phenomenon + does not yield readily to this approach because the data taken so far + exhibits both excessive variety and vagueness. The vagueness is caused + in part by the lack of preparation of the observer...very few people leave + their house knowing that they are going to see a UFO that evening. + Photographs are overexposed or underexposed, and rarely in color. Hardly + anyone carries around a radiation counter or magnetometer. And, in addition + to this, there is a very high level of "noise" in the data. + + + PAGE TEN +________________________________________________________________ + + The noise consists of mistaken reports of known natural phenomena, + hoaxes, reports by unstable individuals and mistaken removal of data + regarding possible unnatural or unknown natural phenomena (by overzealous + individuals who are trying to eliminate all data due to known natural + phenomena). In addition, those data, which do appear to be valid, exhibit + an excessive amount of variety relative to the statistical samples which + are available. This has led to very clumsy classification systems, which + in turn provide quite unfertile ground for formulation of hypothesis. + + One hypothesis which looked promising for a time was that of ORTHOTENY + (i.e., UFO sightings fall on "great circle" routes). At first, plots of + sightings seemed to verify the concept of orthoteny but recent use of + computers has revealed that even random numbers yield "great circle" plots + as neatly as do UFO sightings. + + There is one solid advance that has been made though. Jacques and + Janine Vallee have taken a particular type of UFO - namely those that are + lower than tree-top level when sighted - and plotted the UFO's estimated + diameter versus the estimated distance from the observer. The result + yields an average diameter of 5 meters with a very characteristic drop for + short viewing distances, and rise for long viewing distances. This + behavior at the extremes of the curve is well known to astronomers and + psychologists as the "moon illusion." The illusion only occurs when the + object being viewed is a real, physical object. Because this implies that + the observers have viewed a real object, it permits us to accept also their + statement that these particular UFO's had a rotational axis of symmetry. + + Another, less solid, advance made by the Vallee's was their plotting + of the total number of sightings per week versus the date. They did this + for the time span from 1947 to 1962, and then attempted to match the peaks + of the curve (every 2 years 2 months) to the times of Earth-Mars conjuction + (every 2 years 1.4 months). The match was very good between 1950 and 1956 + but was poor outside those limits. Also, the peaks were not only at the + times of Earth-Mars conjunction but also roughly at the first harmonic + (very loosely, every 13 months). This raises the question why should UFO's + only visit Earth when Mars is in conjunction and when it is on the opposite + side of the sun. Obviously, the conjunction periodicity of Mars is not the + final answer. As it happens, there is an interesting possibility to + consider. Suppose Jupiter's conjunctions were used; they are every 13.1 + months. That would satisfy the observed periods nicely, except for every + even data peak being of different magnitude from every odd data peak. + Perhaps a combination of Martian, Jovian, and Saturnian (and even other + planetary) conjunctions will be necessary to match the frequency plot... + if it can be matched. + + Further data correlation is quite difficult. There are a large number + of different saucer shapes but this may mean little. For example, look at + the number of different types of aircraft which are in use in the U.S. Air + Force alone. + + It is obvious that intensive scientific study is needed in this area; + no such study has yet been undertaken at the necessary levels of intensity + and support. One thing that must be guarded against in any such study is + the trap of implicity assuming that our knowledge of Physics (or any other + branch of science) is complete. An example of one such trap is selecting + a group of physical laws which we now accept as valid, and assume that they + will never be superceded. + + + + PAGE ELEVEN +________________________________________________________________ + + Five such laws might be: + + 1) Every action must have an opposite and equal reaction. + + 2) Every particle in the univers attracts every other particle with a + force proportional to the product of the masses and inversely as the + square of the distance. + + 3) Energy, mass and momentum are conserved. + + 4) No material body can have a speed as great as c, the speed of light + in free space. + + 5) The maximum energy, E, which can be obtained from a body at rest is + E=mc2, where m is the rest mass of the body. + + Laws numbered 1 and 3 seem fairly safe, but let us hesitate and take + another look. Actually, law number 3 is only valid (now) from a relativisti +c + viewpoint; and for that matter so are laws 4 and 5. But relativity + completely revised these physical concepts after 1915, before then Newtonian + mechanics were supreme. We should also note that general relativity has + not yet been verified. Thus we have the peculiar situation of five laws + which appear to deny the possibility of intelligent alien control of UFO's, + yet three of the laws are recent in concept and may not even be valid. + Also, law number 2 has not yet been tested under conditions of large relativ +e + speeds or accelerations. We should not deny the possibility of alien + control of UFO's on the basis of preconceived notions not established as + related or relevant to the UFO's. + + 33.6 CONCLUSION + + From available information, the UFO phenomenon appears to have been + global in nature for almost 50,000 years. The majority of known witnesses + have been reliable people who have seen easily-explained natural phenomena, + and there appears to be no overall positive correlation with population + density. The entire phenomenon could be psychological in nature but that + is quite doubtful. However, psychological factors probably do enter the + data picture as "noise." The phenomenon could also be entirely due to + known and unknown phenomena (with some psychological "noise" added in) but + that too is questionable in view of some of the available data. + + This leaves us with the unpleasant possibility of alien visitors to + our planet, or at least of alien controlled UFO's. However, the data are + not well correlated, and what questionable data there are suggest the + existence of at least three and maybe four different groups of aliens + (possibly at different stages of development). This too is difficult to + accept. It implies the existence of intelligent life on a majority of the + planets in our solar system, or a surprisingly strong interest in Earth by + members of other solar systems. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + PAGE TWELVE +________________________________________________________________ + + A solution to the UFO problem may be obtained by the long and diligent + effort of a large group of well financed and competant scientists, + unfortunately there is no evidence suggesting that such an effort is going + to be made. However, even if such an effort were made, there is no + guarantee of success because of the isolated and sporatic nature of the + sightings. Also, there may be nothing to find, and that would mean a long + search with no proff at the end. The best thing to do is to keep an open + and skeptical mind, and not take an extreme position on any side of the + question. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + This document is available through the Ufo Info Service. + For more information write to: + + CUFON C/O UFO INFORMATION SERVICE + P.O.

The memo in question reads as +follows: + + +November 1990 + +TO: Policy Committee + +Subject: Observations on Public Acclimation Program + + +The metered release of information to the public through +various unofficial channels continues to generate much +interest and an increasing level of awareness, with few if any +observable side effects, other than healthy skepticism on the +part of some people. + +We respectfully suggest continuing the present approach, as it +is making information available to those who are psychologically +ready for it, without causing undue stress on those who are not +ready. + +The present approach is also proving helpful to those who are +having first-hand encounters. It is providing them with a context +in which to put experiences they cannot otherwise explain or +understand. Having some conception of what has happened to them +is an enormous psychological relief to these people -- and helps +them get on with their lives, as best as possible. Providing +information which helps people to cope will become increasingly +important as the percentage of the population having these +encounters continues to rise. As you know, some assistance in +this area is being rendered by various civilian support groups, +which have been formed by interested parties. + +Over time, it may be appropriate to increase the accuracy and +the consistency of information in circulation. The very good +groundwork laid over the last few years has made it possible +to acclimate the public at the current accelerated rate. As +the public becomes more comfortable with IAC and other +sightings, "crop circles," etc., additional types of information +might be released. It appears most of the research +community is running one to two years or more ahead of the +mainstream media. This gives some timeframe for possible +disclosures to the general public -- while providing advance +details to those who are ready for it now. + +Having a certain number of informed citizens among the +population could very well prove to be invaluable resource +in the face of unpredictable future events.

MJ-8 + + + +------------------------------------------------------- + +MORA received its copy of this letter from ufologist Donald Ware +in the spring of 1992, who received his from John Schuessler. +In response to a request asking how he obtained his copy, John +wrote back, "I have no idea where it came from. It was in a +stack of material I received one week, so I shared it with Don +Ware as he is the MUFO East Region Director. I would like to +know whether or not it is authentic." An initial attempt to +locate an organization of this name was made using library +resource materials. It was determined early in the investigation +that there is an organization named "Warwick Research" +involved in the food packaging business, possibly in England. +Later, Pete Hartinger, director and founding member of the +Roundtown UFO Society (RUFOS) of Circleville, Ohio and a +MORA member, located the Warwick Research INSTITUTE +northwest of London in Coventry during a business trip to +that country in late spring 1992. He found it listed in a +local telephone directory. Whether these two organizations +are the same is unknown at this time. + +Further research determined that the Warwick Research +Institute is located at the University of Warwick in Coventry, +England, a relatively new university incorporated by Royal +Charter in 1965. The Institute itself was founded in +1988, one of a number of institutes and research centres +located at the university. The director of the Institute +is listed as one Alan R. Roe, a senior lecturer in economics. +Mr. Roe received his/her Bachelor of Commerce degree +from the University of Leeds in Leeds, England and a +Master of Arts degree from the University of Wales in +Cardiff, Wales. MORA learned during a telephone call to +the Institute on July 22, 1992 that Mr. Roe is no longer +director of the Institute, although he is still associated +with the University. (Sources: Commonwealth Universities +Yearbook, 1991, Vol. 1, The Association of Public Universities, +London, England and The World of Learning, Forty-Second +Edition, 1992, Europa Publications Limited, 18 Bedford +Square, London WC1B 3JN, England.) No other information +about the Institute is contained in these sources. + +The purpose of the telephone call to the Institute, which we +referred to in the paragraph above, was to obtain some +general information about the Institute, particularly with +regard to the scope of its work. During the conversation +with the secretary we were directed to, we learned that the +Institute has economics as one of its main areas of interest. +She confirmed that the Institute is organizationally connected +to the University of Warwick. When we asked who their clients +were, she replied that the Institute did a lot of work for the +United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the +World Bank. We also asked her if they had done any work for +the U.S. Government, specifically the Department of Defense: +she replied seemingly honestly that she did not know. We did +not ask if they had done work on the subject of UFOs, for +obvious reasons; we didn't want her to conclude that our +request was not serious. She promised to send us some +information on the Institute, but it hadn't arrived as of the +date of publication of this supplement. + +MORA did obtain a Postgraduate Prospectus Entry bulletin +for the University of Warwick for the 1993 school year. +Interestingly, the bulletin contains a list of 33 university +affiliated "research centres," but the Institute is not among +them. + +Further efforts are underway by MORA and RUFOS to learn +whether or not this matter is worth pursuing. + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

These +events were so incredible that they defied belief. +A stunned President Truman and his top military +Commanders found themselves virtually impotent after +having just won the most devastating and costly war in +history. The United States had developed, used, and +was the only nation on earth in possession of the Atomic +Bomb which alone had the potential to destroy any enemy, +and even the Earth itself. At that time the United +States had the best economy, the most advanced technology, +the highest standard of living, exerted the most influ- +ence, and fielded the largest and most powerful military +forces in history. + + We can only imagine the confusion and concern when +the informed elite of the United States Government +discovered that an alien spacecraft piloted by insect +like beings from a totally incomprehensible culture +had crashed in the desert of New Mexico. + + + Between January 1947 and December 1952 at least 16 +crashed or downed alien craft, 65 alien bodies, and +1 live alien were recovered. An additional alien craft +had exploded and nothing was recovered from that +incident. Of these incidents, 13 occurred within +the borders of the United States not including the craft +which disintegrated in the air. Of these 13, 1 was in +Arizona, 11 were in New Mexico, and 1 was in Nevada. +Three occured in foreign countries. Of those 1 was in +Norway, and the last 2 were in Mexico. Sightings of +UFO's were so numerous that serious investigation and +debunking of each report became impossible utilizing +the existing intelligence assets. + + + An alien craft was found on February 13, 1948 on a +mesa near Aztec, New Mexico. Another craft was located +on March 25, 1948 in Hart Canyon near Aztec, New Mexico. +It was 100 feet in diameter. A total of 17 alien bodies +were recovered from those two craft. Of even greater +significance was the discovery of a large number of +human body parts stored within both of these vehicles. +A demon had reared its ugly head and paranoia quickly took +hold of everyone then 'in the know'. The secret +lid immediately became an Above Top Secret lid and was +screwed down tight. The security blanket was even tighter +than that imposed upon the Manhattan Project. In the +coming years these events were to become the most closely +guarded secrets in the history of the world. + + + A special group of America's top scientists were +organized and the name Project Sign in December +of 1947 to study the phenomenon. The whole nasty +business was contained within the shroud of secrecy. +Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge in December +of 1948. A low level collection and disinformation +project named Blue Book was formed under Grudge. 16 vol- +umes were to come out of Grudge including the contro- +versial "Grudge 13" which I and Bill English saw, +read, and revealed to the public. "Blue Teams" were +put together to recover the crashed disks and dead +or alive aliens. The Blue Teams were later to evolve +into Alpha Teams under Project Pounce. + + + During these early years the United States Air Force +and the CIA exercised complete control over the Alien +Secret. In fact the CIA was formed by Presidential +Executive Order first as the Central Intelligence +Group for the express purpose of dealing with the +alien presence. Later the National Security Act (NSA) +was established to oversee the intelligence community +and especially the alien endeavor. A series of +National Security Council memos and Executive Orders +removed the CIA from the sole task of gathering foreign +intelligence and slowly but thoroughly 'legalized' direct +action in the form of covert activities at home and +abroad. + + + On December 9, 1947, Truman approved issuance of +NSC-4, entitled "Coordination of Foreign Intelligence +Information Measures" at the urging of Secretaries +Marshall, Forrestal, Patterson, and the director of the +State Department's Policy Planning Staff, Kennan. + + + The Foreign and Military Intelligence, Book 1, +"Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Gover- +nmental operations with respect to Intelligence +Activities." United States Senate, 94th Congress, 2nd +Session, Report No. 94-755, April 26, 1976, page 49 +states: "This directive enpowered the secretary of +state to coordinate overseas information activities +designed to counter communism. A top secret annex to +NSC-4, NSC-4A, instructed the director of Central +Intelligence to undertake covert psychological +activities in pursuit of the aims set forth in NSC-4. The +initial authority given the CIA for covert operations +under NSC-4A did not establish formal procedures for +either coordinating or approving these operations. It +simply directed the DCI to "undertake covert actions +and ensure, through liaison with State and Defense, +that the resulting operations were consistent with +American policy." + + + Later NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 were to supersede NSC-4 +and NSC-4A and expand the covert abilities even +further. The Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) +was chartered to carry out an expanded program of +covert activities. NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 validated +illegal and extra-legal practices and procedures as +being agreeable to the national security leadership. +The reaction was swift. In the eyes of the intelligence +community "no holes were barred". Under NSC-10/1 an +Executive Coordination Group, was established to review, +but not approve, covert project proposals. The ECG was +secretly tasked to coordinate the alien projects. NSC-10/1 +and NSC-10/2 were interpreted to mean that no one at the +top wanted to know about anything until it was over +and successful. These actions established a buffer +between the President and the information. It was inten- +ded that this buffer serve as a means for the President +to deny knowledge if leaks divulged the true state of +affairs. + This buffer was used in later years for the +purpose of effectively isolating succeeding Presidents +from the knowledge of the alien presence other than what +the Secret Government and the intelligence community +wanted them to know. NSC-10/2 established a study +panel which met secretly and was made up of scientific +minds of the day. The study panel was NOT called +MJ-12. Another NSC memo, NSC-10/5 further outlined the +duties of the study panel. These NSC memos and secret +Executive Orders set the stage for the creation of MJ-12 +only 4 years later. + + + Secretary of defense James Forrestal began to +object to the secrecy. He was a very idealistic and +religious man who believed that the public should be told. +When he began to talk to leaders of the opposition party +and leaders of congress about the alien problem he was +asked to resign by Truman. He expressed his fears to +many people and rightfully believed that he was +being watched. This was interpreted by those who were +ignorant of the facts as paranoia. Forrestal later was +said to have suffered a mental breakdown and was admitted +to Bethesda Naval Hospital. In fact it was feared that +Forrestal would begin to talk again and he had to be +isolated and discredited. Sometime in the early morning +of May 22, 1949 agents of the CIA tied a sheet around his +neck, fastened the other end to a fixture in his room +and threw James Forrestal out the window. The sheet tore +and he plummeted to his death. He became one of the first +victoms of the cover-up. + + + The live alien that had been taken from the 1949 +Roswell crash was named EBE. The name had been suggested +by Dr. Vannever Bush and was short for Extraterrestrial +Biological Entity. EBE had a tendency to lie and for over +a year would give only the desired answer to questions +asked. Those questions which would have resulted in an +undesirable answer went unanswered. At some point during +the second year of captivity he began to open up and the +information derived from EBE was startling, to say the +least. This compilation of his revelations became the +foundation of what would later be called the "Yellow +Book". Photographs were taken of EBE which, among others, +I and Bill English were to view years later in GRUDGE 13. + In late 1951 EBE became ill. Medical personnel had +been unable to determine the cause of EBE's illness and +had no background from which to draw. EBE's system +was chlorophyll based and he processed food into energy +much the same as plants. Waste material was excreted +the same as plants. It was decided that an expert on +botany was called for. A botanist, Dr. Guillermo Mendoza, +was brought in to try and help him recover. Dr. Mendoza +worked to save EBE until mid-1952 when EBE died. Dr. +Mendoza became an expert on alien biology. + + + In a futile attempt to save EBE and to gain favor +with this technologically superior alien race the +United States began broadcasting a call for help early +in 1952 into the vast regions of space. The call went +unanswered but the project continued as an effort of good +faith. + + + + President Truman created the super secret National +Security Agency by secret Executive Order on November +4,1952. Its primary purpose was to decipher the alien +communications and language and establish a dialogue +with the aliens. This most urgent task was a continua- +tion of the earlier effort and was code named SIGMA. The +secondary purpose of the NSA was to monitor all communi- +cations and emissions from any and all devices worldwide +for the purpose of gathering intelligence, both human and +alien, and to contain the secret of the alien presence. +Project SIGMA was successful. The NSA also maintains +communications with the Luna base and other Secret Space +Programs. By Executive Order the NSA is exempt from +all laws which do not specifically name the NSA in the +text of the law as being subject to that law. That means +that if the agency is not spelled out in the text of any +and every law passed by the Congress it is not subject to +that or those laws. The NSA now performs many other duties +and in fact is the premiere agency whithin the intellig- +ence community. Today NSA receives 75% of the moneys +allotted to the intelligence community. The old saying +"where the money goes therein the power resides" is +true. The DCI today is a figurehead maintained as a +public ruse. The primary task of the NSA is still alien +communications but now includes other Alien projects as +well. + + + President Truman had been keeping our allies, includ- +ing the Soviet Union, informed of the developing alien +problem since the Roswell recovery. This had been done +in case the aliens turned out to be a threat to the human +race. Plans were formulated to defend the Earth in case +of invasion. Great difficulty was encountered in maint- +aining international secrecy. It was decided that an +outside group was necessary to coordinate and +control international efforts in order to hide the secret +from the normal scrutiny of governments by the press. +The result was the formation of a secret society known +as the "Bilderburgers". The headquarters of this group +is in Geneva, Switzerland. The Bilderburgers evolved +into a secret world government that now controls every- +thing. The United Nations was then, and is now, an +inter-national joke. + + + In 1953 a new man occupied the White House. He was a +man used to a structured staff organization with a chain +of command. His method was to delegate authority and rule +by committee. He made major decisions but only when his +advisors were unable to come to consensus. His normal +method was to read through or listen to several alterna- +tives and then approve one. Those who worked closely +with him have stated that his favorite comment was, "just +do whatever it takes". He spent a lot of time on the +golf course. This was not all unusual for a man who had +been career Army with the ultimate position of Supreme +Allied Commander during the war. A post which carried +5 star along with it. This president was General of the +Army Dwight David Eisenhower. + + + During his first year in office, 1953, at least 10 +more alien crashed disks were recovered along with 26 +dead and 4 live aliens. Of the 10, 4 were found in +Arizona, 2 in Texas, 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Louisiana, +1 in Montana, and 1 in South Africa. There were hundreds +of sightings. + + + Eisenhower knew that he had to wrestle and beat +the alien problem. He knew that he could not do it be +revealing the secret to the Congress. Early in 1953 the +new president turned to his friend and fellow member of +the Council on Foreign relations, Nelson Rockefeller for +help with the alien problem. Eisenhower and Rockefeller +began planning the secret structure of alien task supervi- +sion which was to become a reality within one year. The +idea for MJ-12 was thus born. It was Nelson's Uncle +Winthrop Aldrich who had been crucial in convincing +Eisenhower to run for President. The whole Rockefeller +family and with them the Rockefeller empire had solidly +backed Ike. Asking Rockefeller for help with the +alien problem was to be the biggest mistake Eisenhower +ever made for the future of the United States and most +probably all of humanity. + + + Withen 1 week of Eisenhower's election he had app- +ointed Nelson Rockefeller chairman of a Presidential +Advisory Committee on Government Organization. Rockefeller +was responsible for planning the reorganization of +the government. New Deal programs went into 1 single +cabinet position called the Department of Health, +Education, and Welfare. When the Congress approved the +new cabinet position in April of 1953, Nelson was named +to the post of Undersecretary to Oveta Culp Hobby. + + + In 1953 astronomers discovered large objects in space +which were moving towards Earth. It was first believed +that they were asteroids. Later evidence proved that the +objects could only be spaceships. Project Sigma intercep- +ted alien radio communication. When the objects reached +the Earth they took up a very high orbit around the +equator. There were several huge ships, and their +actual intent was unknown. Project Sigma, and a new +project, Plato, through radio communications using the +computer binary language, was able to arrange a landing +that resulted in face to face contact with alien beings +from another planet. Project Plato was tasked with +establishing diplomatic relations with this alien race of +space aliens. + + + In the meantime a race of human-looking aliens +contacted the U.S. Government. this alien group warned +us against the aliens that were orbiting the Equator +and offered to help us with our spiritual development. +They demanded that we dismantle and destroy our +nuclear weapons as the major condition. They refused to +exchange technology citing that we were spiritually unable +to handle the technology which we then possessed. They +believed that we would use any new technology to destroy +each other. This race stated that we were on a path +of self-destruction and we must stop killing each +other, stop polluting the earth, stop raping the +Earth's natural resources, and learn to live in +harmony. These terms were met with extreme suspicion +especially the major condition of nuclear disarmament. It +was believed that meeting that condition would leave us +helpless in the face of an obvious alien threat. We +also had nothing in history to help with the decision. +Nuclear disarmament was not considered to be within the +best interest of the United States. The overtures +were rejected. + + + Later in 1954 the race of large nosed gray aliens +which had been orbiting the Earth landed at Holloman Air +Force base. A basic agreement was reached. This +race identified themselves as originating from a planet +around a red star in the Constellation of Orion which we +call Betelgeuse. They stated that their planet was dying +and that at some unknown future time they would'nt be able +to survive there. This led to a second landing at Edwards +Air Force base. The historical event had been planned in +advance and details of the treaty had been agreed +upon. Eisenhower arranged to be in Palm Springs on vaca- +tion. On the appointed day the President was spirited +away to the base and the excuse was given to the press +that he was visiting a dentist. + + + President Eisenhower met with the aliens and a +formal treaty between the Alien Nation and the United +States of America was signed. We then received our +first Alien Ambassador from outer space. His name and +title was his "Omnipotent Highness Krlll", pronounced +Krill. In the American tradition of disdain for royal +titles, he was secretly called "Original Hostage +Krlll". You should know that the alien flag is known +as the "Trilateral Insignia". It is displayed on their +craft and worn on their uniforms. Both of these +landings and the second meeting were filmed. The films +exist today. + + + The Treaty stated: The aliens would not interfere in +our affairs and we would not interfere in theirs. We +would keep their presence on earth a secret. They would +furnish us with advanced technology and would help us in +our technological development. They would not make any +treaty with any other earth nation. They could abduct +humans on a limited and periodic basis for the purpose +of medical examination and monitoring of our development +with the stipulation that the humans would not be harmed, +would be returned to their point of abduction, that the +humans would have no memory of the event, and that the +alien nation would furnish MJ-12 a list of all human +contacts and abductees on a regularly scheduled basis. +It was agreed that each nation would recieve the +Ambassador of the other for as long as the treaty +remained in force. It was further agreed that the Alien +Nation and the United States would exchange 16 personnel +each to the other with the purpose of learning, each of +the other. + + + The Alien "Guests" would remain on earth and the +"human guests" would travel to the Alien point of origin +for a specified period of time then return, at which +point a reverse exchange would be made. It was also +agreed that bases would be constructed underground for +the use of the Alien nation and that 2 bases would be +constructed for the joint use the the Alien nation and + the United States Government. Exchange of technology +would take place in the jointly occupied bases. These +alien bases would be constructed under Indian reservations +in the 4 corners area of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, +and Colorado, and 1 would be constructed in Nevada +in the area known as S-4 located approximately 7 +miles south of the western border of area 51 known as +Dreamland. All alien bases are under complete control of +the Naval Department and all personel who work in +these complexes receive their checks from the Navy. Con- +struction of the bases began immediately but progress +was slow until large amounts of money were made available +in 1957. Work continued on the "Yellow Book". + + + Project REDLIGHT was formed and experimentation in +test flying alien aircraft was begun in earnest. A super +TOP SECRET facility was built at Groom Lake in Nevada in +the midst of the weapons test range. It was code named +DREAMLAND. The installation was placed under the Depart- +ment of the Navy and clearance of all personnel required +"Q" clearance as well as Executive (Presidential) +approval. This is ironic due to the fact that the Pre- +sident of the United States does not have clearance to +visit the site. The alien base and exchange of technology +actually took place in an Area known as S-4. Area S-4 was +code named "The Dark Side of the Moon". + + + The Army was tasked to form a super secret organi- +zation to furnish security for all alien tasked +projects. This organization became the National +Reconnaissance Organization based at Fort Carson,Colorado. +The specific teams trained to secure the projects were +called DELTA. + + + A second project code named SNOWBIRD was promulgated +to explain away any sightings of the REDLIGHT crafts as +being Air Force experiments. The SNOWBIRD crafts were +manufactured using conventional technology and were +flown for the press on several occasions. Project SNOWBIRD +was also used to debunk legitimate public sightings of +alien craft (UFO's). Project SNOWBIRD was very successful +and reports from the public decline steadily until +recent years. + + + A multi-million dollar SECRET fund was organized and +kept by the Military Office of the White House. This fund +was used to build over 75 deep underground facilities. +Presidents who asked were told the fund was used to build +Deep Underground Shelters for the President in case of +war. Only a few were built for the President. Millions +of dollars were funneled through this office to MJ-12 and +then out to the contractors and was used to build TOP +SECRET alien bases as well as TOP SECRET DUMB (Deep +nderground Military Bases), and facilities promulgated +by "Alternative 2", throughout the nation. President +Johnson used this fund to build a movie theatre and pave +the road on his ranch. He had no idea of its purpose. + + + The secret White House Underground Construction fund +was set up in 1957 by President Eisenhower. The funding +was obtained from Congress under the guise of +"construction and maintenance of secret sites where the +President could be taken in case of military attack: +Presidential Emergency Sites". The sites are literally +holes in the ground, deep enough to withstand a nuclear +blast and are outfitted with state of the art commun- +ications equipment. To date there are more than seventy +five sites spread around the country which were built +using money from this fund. The Atomic Energy Commission +has built at least an additional 22 underground sites. + + + The location and everything to do with these sites +were and are considered and treated as TOP SECRET. The +money was and is in control of the Military Office of the +White House, and was and is laundered through a circuitous +web that even the most knowledgeable spy or accountant +can not follow. As of 1980 only a few at the beginning +and end of this web knew what the money was for. At the +beginning were Representative George Mahon, of Texas, and +the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and of +its Defense Subcommittee: and Representative Robert Sikes, +of Florida, chairman of the House Appropriations +Military Construction Subcommittee. Today it is rumored +that House Speaker Jim Wright controls the money in +Congress and that a power struggle is underway to remove +him. At the end of the line were the President, MJ-12, +the director of the Military Office and a commander at the +Washington Navy Yard. + + + The money was authorized by the Appropriation +Committee who allocated it to the Department of Defense +as a TOP SECRET item in the army construction program. +The Army, however, could not spend it and in fact did +not even know what it was for. Authorization to +spend the money was in reality given to the Navy. The +money was channeled to the Chesapeake Division of the Navy +Engineers who did not know what it was for either. Not +even the Commanding Officer, who was an Admiral, knew +what the fund was to be used for. Only one man, a Navy +Commander, who was assigned to the Chesapeake Division +but in reality was responsible only to the Military +Office of the White House knew of the actual purpose, +amount, and ultimate destination of the TOP SECRET fund. +The total secrecy surrounding the fund meant that almost +every trace of it could be made to disappear by the very +few people who controlled it. There has never been and +most likely never will be an audit of this secret money. + + + Large amounts of money were transferred from the TOP +SECRET fund to a location at Palm Beach, Florida that +belongs to the Coast Guard called Peanut Island. The +island is adjacent to property which was onwed by Joseph +Kennedy. The money was said to have been used for +landscaping and general beautification. Some time ago +a TV news special on the Kennedy assassination told of +a Coast Guard Officer transferring money in a briefcase +to a Kennedy employee across this property line. Could +this have been a secret payment to the Kennedy family for +the loss of their son John F. Kennedy? The payments +continued through the year 1967 and then stopped. The +total amount transferred is unknown and the actual use +of the money is unknown. + + + Meanwhile, Nelson Rockefeller changed positions again. +This time he was to take C.D. Jackson's old position which +had been called the Special Assistant for Psychological +Strategy. With Nelson's appointment the name was changed +to the Special Assistant for Cold War Strategy. This +position would evolve over the years into the same +position Henry Kissinger was ultimately to hold under +President Nixon. Officially he was to give "Advice and +assistance in development of increased understanding +and cooperation among all peoples". The official descrip- +tion was a smoke screen for security he was the Presiden- +ial Coordinator for the Intelligence Community. In his +new post, Rockefeller reported directly, and only, to +the President. He attended meetings of the Cabinet, +the Council on Foreign Economic Policy, and the National +Security Council which was the highest policy-making body +in the government. + Nelson Rockefeller was also given a second important +job as the head of a secret unit called the Planning +Coordination Group which was formed under NSC 5412/1 +in March of 1955. The group consisted of different ad hoc +members depending on the subject of the agenda. The basic +members were Rockefeller, a representative of the Dept. of +State, and the Director of Central Intelligence. It +was soon called the "3412 Committee" of the "Special +Group". NSC 5412/1 established the rule that covert +operations were subject to approval by an executive +committee, whereas in the past these operations were +initiated solely on the authority of the Director of +Central Intelligence. + By secret Executive Memorandum, NSC 5410, Eisenhower +had preceded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent +committee (not ad hoc) to be known as Majority Twelve +(MJ-12) to oversee and conduct all covert activities +concerned with the alien question. NSC 5412/1 was created +to explain the purpose of these meetings when Congress +and the Press became curious. Majority Twelve was made up +of Nelson Rockefeller, the director of the CIA Allen +Welsh Dulles, the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, +the Secretary of Defense Charles E.Wilson, the Chairman of +the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the +Director of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, and six men from the +executive committee of the Council on Foreign Relations +known as the "Wise Men". These men were all members of a +secret society of scholars that called themselves "The +Jason Society", or "The Jason Scholars" who recruited +their members from the "Skull and Bones" and the +"Scroll and Key" societies of Harvard and Yale. + The "Wise Men" were key members of the Council +on Foreign Relations. There were 12 members including +the first 6 from Government positions thus Majority +Twelve. This group was made up over the years of the +top officers and directors of the Council on Foreign +Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordan +Dean, George Bush, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among +them. The most important and influential of the "Wise Men" +who served on MJ-12 were Jogn McCloy, Robert Lovett, +Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan, and Dean +Acheson. It is significant that President Eisenhower as +well as the first 6 MJ-12 members from the Government were +also members of the Council on Foreign Relations.Thorough +researchers will soon discover that not all of the "Wise +Men" attended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were +chosen for "Skull and Bones" or "Scroll and Key" member- +ship during their college years. You will be able to +quickly clear up this mystery by obtaining the book "The +Wise Men" by Walter Issacson and Even Thomas, Simon and +Schuster, New York. Under illustration #9 in the center of +the book you will find the caption "Lovett with the Yale +Unit, above far right, and on the beach his initiation +into Skull and Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk". I +have found that members were chosen on an ongoing basis by +invitation based upon merit post college and was not +confined to only Harvard or Yale attendees. + A chosen few were later initiated into the Jason +Society. They are all members of the Council on Foreign +Relations and at that time were known as the "Eastern +Establishment". This should give you a clue to the far +reaching and serious nature of these most secret college +societies. The Jason Society is alive and well today but +now includes members of the Trilateral Commission as well. +The Trilateralists existed secretly several years BEFORE +1973. The name of the Trilateral Commission was taken from +the alien flag known as the "Trilateral Insignia". + Majority Twelve was to survive right up to the +present day. Under Eisenhower and Kennedy it was errone- +ously called the "8412 Committee" or more correctly, the +"Special Group". in the Johnson administration it became +the "303 Committee" because the name 5412 had been +compromised in the book "The Secret Government" actual- +ly NSC 5412/1 was leaked to the author to hide existence +of NSC 5410. Under Nixon, Ford, and Carter it was called +the "40 Committee", and under Reagan, it became the "PI-40 +Committee". Over all those years only the name changed. + By 1955 it became obvious the aliens had deceived +Eisenhower and had broken the treaty. Mutilated humans +were being found along with mutilated animals all across +the United States. It was suspected that the aliens were +not submitting a complete list of human contacts and +abductees to MJ-12 and it was suspected that not all +abductees had been returned. The Soviet Union was +suspected of interacting with them and this proved to be +true. It was learned that the aliens had been and +were then manipulating masses of people through secret +societies, witchcraft, magic, the occult, and religion. +After several Air Force combat air engagements with alien +craft it also became apparent that our weapons were no +match against them. + In November 1955, NSC 5412/2 was issued establishing +a study committee to explore "All factors which are +involved in making and implementing of foreign policy in +the nuclear age." This was only a blanket of snow that +covered the real subject of study, the alien question. + By secret Executive Memorandum, NSC 5411 in 1954, +President Eisenhower had commissioned the study group to +"examine all the facts, evidence, lies, and deception +and discover the truth of the alien question. NSC5412/2 +was only a cover that had become necessary when the press +began inquiring as to the purpose of regular meetings of +such important men. The first meetings began at Quantico +Marine Base. The study group was made up of 35 members +of the Council on Foreign Relations. Secret scholars +known as "The Jason Society" of the "Jason Scholars". Dr. +Edward Teller was invited to participate, Dr. Zbigniew +Brzezinski was the study director for the first 18 months. +Dr. Henry Kissinger was chosen as the group's study +director for the second 18 months. Nelson Rockefeller +was a frequent visitor during the study. + T H E S T U D Y G R O U P M E M B E R S + +Gordon Dean, Chairman +Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Study Director - 1st phase +Dr. Henry Kissinger, Study Director - 2nd phase + +Dr Edward Teller Frank Altschul +Maj.

Kelly Arnold Wolfers + +The second phase meetings were also held at the Marine +Base at Quantico Virginia and the group became known +as Quantico II. Nelson Rockefeller built a retreat +somewhere in Maryland which could only be reached by air +for MJ-12 and the study committee so that they could meet +away from public scrutiny. This secret meeting place is +known by the code name "The Country Club". Complete +living, eating, recreation, library, and meeting +facilities exist at the location. + The study group was "publicly" closed in the later +months of 1958 and Henry Kissinger published what was +officially termed the results in 1957 as "Nuclear Weapons +and Foreign Policy" by Henry A. Kissinger, published for +the Council on Foreign Relations by Harper & Brothers, New +York. In truth the manuscript had already been 80% written +while Kissinger was at Harvard. The study group continued +veiled in secrecy. A clue to the seriousness Kissinger +attached to the study can be found in statements by his +wife and friends. Many of them stated that Henry would +leave home early each morning and return late each +night without speaking to anyone or responding to +anyone. It seemed as if he were in another world +which held no room for anyone else. + These statements are very revealing. The revela- +tions of the alien presence and actions during the +study must have been a great shock. Henry Kissinger +was definitely out of character during time surrounding +these meetings. He would never again be affected in this +manner no matter the seriousness of any subsequent event. +On many occasions he would work very late into the night +after having already put in a full day. This behavior +eventually led to divorce. + A major finding of the alien study was that the +public could not be told as it was believed that this +would most certainly lead to economic collapse, collapse +of the religious structure, and national panic which +would lead into anarchy. Secrecy thus continued. An +offshoot of this finding was that if the public could not +be told then the Congress could not be told, thus +funding for the projects and research would have to +come from outside the government. In the meantime money +was to be obtained from the military budget and from +CIA confidential non-appropriated funds. + + + Another major finding was the aliens were using +humans and animals for a source of glandular secretions, +enzymes, hormonal secretions, blood and in horrible +genetic experiments. The aliens explained these +actions as necessary to their survival. They stated +that their genetic structure had deteriorated and that +they were no longer able to reproduce. They stated that +if they were unable to improve their genetic structure +their race would soon cease to exist. We looked upon +their explanations with extreme suspicion. Since our +weapons were literally useless against the aliens, MJ-12 +decided to continue friendly diplomatic relations with +them until such time as we were able to develop a +technology which would enable us to challenge them on a +military bases. Overtures would have to be made to the +Soviet Union, and other nations, to join forces for the +survival of humanity. In the meantime plans were +developed to research and construct 2 weapons systems +using conventional and nuclear technology which would +hopefully bring us to parity. + The results of the research were Projects JOSHUA and +EXCALIBUR. Joshua was a weapon captured from the Germans +which at that time was capable of shattering 4" thick +armor plate at a range of two miles using low frequency +sound waves, and it was believed that this weapon would +be effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. +Excalibur was a weapon carried by missile not to exceed +30,000 feet AGL, not to deviate from designated target +more than 50 meters, would penetrate 1,000 meters of tufa +hard packed soil such as that found in New Mexico, would +carry a one megaton warhead, and was intended for use +in destroying the aliens in their underground bases. +Joshua was developed successfully but never used to my +knowledge. Excalibur was not pushed until recent years +and now there is an unprecedented effort to develop this +weapon. + The events at Fatima in the early part of the +century were scrutinized. On suspicion that it was alien +manipulation, an intelligence operation was put into +motion to penetrate the secrecy surrounding the event. +The United States utilized its Vatican moles that had +been recruited and nurtured during WWII and soon obtained +the entire Vatican study which included the prophecy. +This prophecy stated that if man did not turn from evil +and place himself at the feet of Christ the planet would +self-destruct and the events described in the book of +Revelations would indeed come to pass. It stated that a +child would be born who would unite the world with a plan +for world peace and a false religion beginning in 1992. +By 1995 the people would descern that he was evil and was +indeed the Anti-Christ. World War III would begin in +the Middle East in 1995 with an invasion of Israel by a +United Arab nation using conventional weapons which would +lminate in a nuclear holocaust in the year 1999. Between +1999 and 2003 most of the life on this planet would suffer +horribly and die as a result. The return of Christ would +occur in the year 2011. + When the aliens were confronted with this finding +they confirmed that it was true. The aliens explained +that they had created us through hybridization and had +manipulated the human race through religion, satanism, +witchcraft, magic, and the occult. They further explained +that they were capable of time travel and the events +would indeed come to pass. Later exploitation of alien +technology by the United States and the Soviet Union +utilizing time travel confirmed the prophecy. The aliens +showed a hologram which they claimed was the actual +crucifixion of Christ, which the government filmed. We +did not know whether to believe them or not. Were they +using GENUINE religions to manipulate us? or , were they +indeed the source of our religions with which they had +been manipulating us all along? or, was this the beginning +of the genuine END TIMES and the RETURN OF CHRIST +which had been predicted in the Bible? No one knew the +answer. + A symposium was held in 1957 which was attended by +some of the greatest scientific minds then living. +They reached the conclusion that by or shortly after +the year 2,000 the planet WOULD self destruct due to +increased population and man's exploitation of the +environment WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM GOD OR THE ALIENS. + By secret Executive Order of President Eisenhower, +the Jason Scholars were ordered to study this +scenario and make recommendations called "Alternatives 1, +2, and 3". "Alternative 1" was to use nuclear devices to +blast holes in the Stratosphere from which the heat and +pollution would escape into space. Change the human +cultures from that of exploitation into cultures of envir- +onmental protection. Of the three this was decided to be +the least likely to succeed due the inherent nature of +man and the additional damage the nuclear explosions +would themselves create. "Alternative 2" was to build +a vast network of underground cities and tunnels in which +a select representation of all cultures and occupations +would survive and carry on the human race.The rest of +humanity would be left to fend for themselves on the +surface of the planet. "Alternative 3" was to exploit the +alien and conventional technology in order for a select +few to leave the earth and establish colonies in outer +space. I am not able to confirm nor deny the existence +of "Batch Consignments" of human slaves which would be +used for the manual labor in the effort as part of the +plan. The Moon, code named "Adam", would be the +object of primary interest followed by the planet Mars, +code named "Eve". As a delaying action, ALL THREE +ALTERNATIVES included birth control, sterilization, +and the introduction of deadly microbes to control or slow +the growth of the Earth's population. AIDS is only ONE +result of these plans. There are others. It was decided +since the population must be reduced and controlled that +it would be in the best interest of the human race to +rid ourselves of the undesirable elements of our society. +The joint U.S. & Soviet leadership dismissed "Alternative +1" but ordered work to begin on "Alternative 2 and 3" +virtually at the same time. + In 1959 the Rand Corporation hosted a Deep +Underground Construction Symposium. In the Symposium +report, machines are pictured and described which +could bore a tunnel 45 feet in diameter at the rate of +5 feet per hour. It also displays pictures of huge +tunnels and underground vaults containing what appear to +be complex facilities and possibly even cities. It appears +that the previous 5 years of all out underground +construction had made significant progress by that time. + The ruling powers decided that one means of funding +the alien connected and other black market projects was +to corner the illegal drug market. A young ambitious +member of the Council on Foreign Relations was approached. +His name is George Bush who at the time was president and +C.E.O. of Zapata Oil based in Texas. Zapata Oil was exper- +imenting with the new technology of offshore drilling. +It was correctly thought that the drugs could be shipped +from South America to the offshore platforms by fishing +boat where it would then be taken to shore by the +normal transportation used for supplies and personnel. +By this method, no customs or law enforcement agency +would subject the cargo to search. George Bush agreed to +help and organized the operation in conjunction with the +CIA. The plan worked better than anyone had thought and +has since expanded worldwide and there are now many other +methods of bringing the illegal drugs into the country. +It must always be remembered though that George Bush +began sale of drugs to our children. The CIA now controls +all the World's illegal drug markets. + The "Official" space program was boosted by President +Kennedy in his inaugural address when he mandated that +the United States put a man on the moon before the end +of the decade. Although innocent in its conception this +mandate enabled those in charge to funnel vast amounts +of money into black projects and conceal the REAL space +program from the American people. A similar program in +the Soviet Union served the same purpose. In fact a +joint alien, United States, and Soviet Union base already +existed on the moon at the very moment Kennedy spoke the +words. On May 22, 1962 a space probe landed on Mars and +confirmed the existence of an environment which could +support life. Not long afterward the construction of a +colony on the planet Mars began in earnest. Today cities +exist on Mars populated by specifically selected people +from different cultures and occupations taken from all +over the Earth. A public charade of antagonism between +the Soviet Union and the United States has been maintained +over all these years in order to fund projects in the +name of National Defense when in fact we are the closest +allies. + At some point President Kennedy discovered portions +of the truth concerning the drugs and the aliens. He +issued an ultimatum in 1963 to MJ-12. President Kennedy +assured them that if they didn't clean up the drug problem +he would. He informed MJ-12 that he intended to reveal +the presence of aliens to the American people within the +following year and ordered a plan developed to implement +his decision. President Kennedy was not a member of the +Council on Foreign Relations and know nothing of +"Alternative 2" or "Alternative 3". Internationally the +operations were supervised by MJ-12 and in the Soviet +Union by its sister organization. President Kennedy's +decision struck fear into the hearts of those in charge. +His assissination was ordered by the Policy Committee and +the order was carried out by agents of MJ-12 in Dallas. + President John F. Kennedy was murdered by the Secret +Service Agent who drove his car in the motorcade and the +act is plainly visible in the film. WATCH THE DRIVER +AND NOT KENNEDY WHEN YOU VIEW THE FILM. ALL of the wit- +nesses who were close enough to the car to see William +Greer shoot Kennedy were themselves all murdered +within the next two years of the event. The Warren +Commission was a farce and Council on Foreign Relations +members made up the majority of its panel. They succeeded +in snowing the American people. Many other patriots who +attempted to reveal the alien secret have also been +murdered throughout the intervening years. + During the era of the United States initial space +exploration and the Moon landings every launch was accom- +panied by alien craft. A Moon base dubbed Luna was +sighted and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. Domes, +spires, tall round structures which look like silos, huge +"T" shaped mining vehicles which left stitch-like tracks +in the lunar surface, and extremely large as well as small +alien craft appear in the photographs. It is a joint +United States, Russian and Alien base. The Space Program +is a farce and unbelievable waste of money. Alternative 3 +is a reality and is not at all science fiction. Most of +the Apollo Astronauts were severely shaken by this +experience and their lives and subsequent statements +reflect the depth of the revelation and the effect of the +muzzle order which followed. They were ordered to remain +silent or suffer extreme penalty, DEATH, which was termed +an "expediency". One astronaut actually did talk to the +British producers of the TV expose "Alternative 3" +confirming many of the allegations. + In the book "Alternative 003" the pseudonym "Bob +Grodin" was used in place of the astronaut's identity. It +was also stated that he committed suicide in 1978. This +cannot be validated by any source and I believe that +several so-called facts in the book are disinformation. I +firmly believe that this disinformation is a result of +pressure put upon authors and is meant to nullify the +effect upon the populace of the British TV expose entitled +"Alternative 3". The headquarters of the international +conspiracy is in Geneva, Switzerland. The ruling body is +made up of Representatives of the Governments involved as +well as the Executive members of the group known as +the "Bilderburgers". Meetings are held by the "Policy +Committee" when necessary on a Nuclear Submarine beneath +the Polar Ice Cap. The secrecy is such that this was +the only method which would ensure that the meetings +would not be bugged. I can say that the book is at +least 70% true from my own knowledge and the knowledge +of my sources. I believe that the disinformation was an +attempt to compromise the British TV expose with inform- +ation which could be proven false, just as the +"Eisenhower Briefing Document" was released here in the +U.S. under the contingency plan "Majestic Twelve", and +which can also be proven false. + Since our interaction with the aliens began we have +come into possession of technology beyond our wildest +dreams. A craft named Aurora exist at Area 51 which +makes regular trips into space. It is a one stage ship +called a TAV (transatmospheric vehicle) and it can +take off from the ground using a 7 mile runway, go into +high orbit, return on its own power, and land on the same +runway. We currently have and fly atomic powered alien +type craft at Area S-4 in Nevada. Our pilots have +made interplanetary voyages in these craft and have been +to the Moon, Mars, and other planets aboard these craft. +We have been lied to about the true nature of the Moon, +the planets Mars and Venus and the real state of +technology that we possess today at this very moment. + There are areas on the Moon where plant life grows +and even changes color with the seasons. This seasonal +effect is because the Moon does not, as claimed, always +present the exact same side the earth or the sun. There +is an area that wobbles in and out of darkness on a +seasonal basis and it is near this area that the plant +life grows. The Moon does have a few man-made lakes and +ponds upon its surface and clouds have been observed and +filmed in its atmosphere. It possesses a gravitational +field and man can walk upon its surface without a space +suit breathing from an oxygen bottle after undergoing +decompression the same as any deep sea diver. I have seen +the photographs and some of them were actually published +in the book "We Discovered Alien Bases on the Moon" by +Fred Steckling. + In 1969 a confrontation broke out between the human +scientists and the aliens at the Dulce underground lab. + +The aliens took many of our scientists hostage. Delta +forces were sent to free them but were no match against +the alien weapons. 66 of our people were killed during +this action. As a result we withdrew from all joint +projects for at least 2 years. A reconciliation eventually +took place and once again we began to interact. Today the +alliance continues. + When the Watergate scandal broke, President Nixon had +intended to ride out the storm confident that he could not +be impeached. MJ-12, however, had a different agenda.The +intelligence community rightfully concluded that an +impeachment trial would open up the files and bare the +awful secrets to the public eye. Nixon was ordered to +resign. He refused and so the first military coup ever +to take place in the United States was promulgated. The +joint Chiefs of Staff sent a TOP SECRET message to the +commanders of all U.S. armed forces throughout the world. +It stated, "Upon receipt of this message you will no +longer carry out any orders from the White House. +Acknowledge receipt." This message was sent a full 5 days +before Nixon conceded and announced publicly that he +would resign. I personally saw this message. When I asked +my commanding officer what he would do as obviously +the order violated the Constitution, I was told, "I +guess I will wait to see if any orders come from the +White House and then I will decide." I did not see any +communication from the White House but that does not mean +that none was sent. + During all the years that this has been happening +the Congress and the American people have seemed to +know instinctively that something was not right. When +the Watergate scandal surfaced they jumped on the +bandwagon and everyone thought that the agencies +would be cleaned out. President Ford organized the +Rockefeller commission to do the job. At least that +is what everyone thought. His real purpose was to head +off the Congress and keep the cover-up going. Nelson +Rockefeller who headed the commission investigating the +intelligence community was a member of the Council on +Foreign Relations and was the one who helped Eisenhower +build the MJ-12 power structure. Rockefeller uncovered +only enough to keep the hounds at bay. He threw the +Congress few bones and the cover-up rolled merrily +along as always. + Later Senator Church would conduct the famous Church +hearings. He also was a prominent member of the Council +on Foreign Relations and he only repeated the Rockefeller +act. Again the cover-up prevailed. When Iran Contra came +along we thought this time it had to come gushing out. +Wrong again! Despite mountains of documents that pointed +to drug smuggling and other hidden monsters, the +cover-up sailed through. Congress even seemed to go out +of its way to duck the issues that were just under the +surface. Could it be that Congress knows the whole thing +and won't touch it? Are they amoung the select who have +been picked for the Mars colony when the Earth begins to +destruct? + I cannot even begin to outline the entire +financial empire controlled by the CIA, the NSA, and +the Council on Foreign Relations that controls and +launders money from drugs and intelligence community +proprietary ventures but I can tell you the little that +I know. The amount of money is beyond anything you can +imagine and is hidden in a vast networks of banks and +holding companies. You should first begin to look at +the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation, The Schroder +Trust Company, Schroders Limited (London), Helbert Wagg +Holdings, LTD., J. Henry Schroder- Wagg & Co., LTD, +Schroder Gerbruder and Company (Germany), Schroder +Munchmeyer Hengst and Company, Castle Bank and its +holding companies, the Asian Development Bank, and the +Nugan Hand octopus of banks and holding companies. + A contingency plan was formulated by MJ-12 to throw +everyone off the trail should they come close to the +truth. The plan was known as MAJESTIC TWELVE. It was +implemented with the release by Moore, Shandera, and +Friedman of the purported genuine "Eisenhower Briefing +Document". The document is a fraud. The document lists +the Executive Order as #092447. A number which does not +exist and will not exist for quite a long time at the +present rate. Truman wrote Executive Orders in the 9,000 +range, Eisenhower wrote in the 10,000 range, Ford was up +to the 11,000 bracket, and Reagan got only into the 12,000 +numbers. Executive Orders are numbered consecutively, no +matter who occupies the White House for reasons of +continuity, record keeping, and to prevent confusion. +The Executive Order is only 1 of several fatal flaws +contained within the document. The plan so far has thrown +the entire research community off the trail for several +years and has resulted in the wasted expenditure of money +looking for information which does not exist. It resulted +in total waste of a grant by the Fund for UFO Research +of $16,000 which was given to Stanton Friedman to +research the information. Many thousands of man hours +have gone into looking for a "Red Herring". If you +doubt the secret government's ability to run you through +the rose garden you had better think again. + Another contingency plan is in force and is +working upon you today. It is the plan to prepare the +public for eventual confrontation with an alien race. The +public is being bombarded with movies,radio, advertising, +and TV depicting almost every aspect of the true nature of +the alien presence. This includes the good and the bad. +Look around and pay attention. The aliens are planning +to make their presence known and the government is +preparing you for it so that there will be no panic. + The worst contingency plan has also been implemented +and is at work right now. For many years now they have +been importing drugs and selling them to the people and +mainly the poor and minorities. Social welfare programs +were put into place to create a dependent non-working +element of our society. They began to remove the social +welfare programs in order to develop a large criminal +class that did not exist in the 50's and early 60's. They +encouraged the manufacture and importation of deadly +military firearms for the criminal element to use. This +was intended to foster a feeling of insecurity which would +lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves +by passing laws against firearms. Incidents were to be +staged to speed up the process. By using drugs and +hypnosis in a process called Orion on mental patients the +CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on +school yards and inflame the anti-gun lobby. This plan + +is well underway and so far is working as planned. This +plan must not succeed. + Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation they +will convince the American people a state of anarchy +exists within the major cities. They are now building +their case almost nightly on TV and daily in newspapers. +When public opinion has been won over to this idea they +intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a +nuclear weapon has entered the United States and that +they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. +The government will then suspend the Constitution and +declare Martial Law. The secret alien army of implanted +humans and all dissidents, which translated into anyone +they choose, will be rounded up and will be placed +in concentration camps which already exist throughout +the country. They are each one mile square. Are the +people whom they intend to place in these concentration +camps destined to make the reported "Batch Consignments" +of slave labor needed by the Space Colonies? the media, +radio, TV,newspapers, and computer networks will be +nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be +taken or killed. This entire operation was rehearsed +by the government and military in 1984 under the code +name REX-84 and it went off without a hitch. When +these events have transpired the SECRET GOVERNMENT and/or +ALIEN takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never +be returned and you will live in slavery for the +remainder of your life. You had better wake up and +you had better do it now. + Phil Klass is an agent of the CIA and this was +stated in the documents I saw between 1970 and 1973. +One of his jobs as an aviation expert was to debunk +everything to do with UFOs. All military commanders +were instructed to call him to gain information +on how to debunk and/or explain UFO contacts and/or +sightings to the public and/or press if and when the need +arose. + William Moore,Jaimie Shandera, and Stanton Friedman +are either witting (with knowledge) or unwitting +(being used without knowledge) agents of the secret +government. I prefer to believe that they are unwitting +although William Moore's reported us of a Defense +Investigation Service ID card and his reported self +confession to Lee Graham that he was an agent of the +government makes me seriously doubt it, if the reports are +true. Lee Graham called me at my home, and when asked, +he confirmed that Moore had indeed done this. + Stanton Friedman has told me and many others that +years ago he "helped develop a nuclear reactor, to +power an aircraft, that was the size of a basketball, was +clean, turned out hydrogen, and worked like a dream". +His words not mine. The only fuel which could go into +such an engine and produce hydrogen as a by-product is +water. The only place in the universe at that time to +get such technology was from the aliens. Is he really +unwitting? I do not know. He was a member of the +Moore, Shandera, and Friedman research team and it +was they who implemented the MAJESTIC TWELVE contingency +plan. + In the documents which I saw between 1970 and 1973 +names of individuals were listed who were to be targeted +for recruitment in order that the contingency plan +known as MAJESTIC TWELVE could be introduced to the +public by persons known and respected by the public. +Bruce Macabee, Stanton Friedman, and William Moore were +among those listed. I do not know that the subsequent +events do not seem to indicate the Bruce Macabee is +involved but the actions of Stanton Friedman and +William Moore are highly suspect. + I know that all the major UFO research organizations +were targeted for infiltration and control by the secret +government just as NICAP was infiltrated and controlled. +I believe that these efforts have been successful. It is +very possible that the major UFO publications are also +controlled. + Today, MJ-12 still exists and operates just as it +always has. It is made up of the same structure,6 from the +same positions in government, and 6 from the executive +members of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or +Trilateral Commission. The Majority Agency for Joint +Intelligence is publicly known as the Senior Interagency +Group (SIG). + In closing it is most important to understand that +the council on Foreign Relations and its offshoot the +Trilateral Commission not only control but own this +country. Long before WWII they were instrumental in +helping to decide policy for the United States Government. +The Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission +and their foreign counterparts report to Bilderburgers. +Almost every high level government and military official +of any consequence since WWII including presidents have +been members of the Council on Foreign Relations +and/or Trilateral Commission. All American members of +the Trilateral Commission have been either been or are a +member of the Council on Foreign Relations. + Each foreign nation of any importance has its own +offshoot of the Council on Foreign Relations and the +members of each country interact with those of other +countries through the Bilderburgers to further their +common goals. The foreign member of the Trilateral +Commission belong to their respective organizations. + Even a cursory investigation by the most inexperienced +researcher will show that the members of the Council on +Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission control +the major foundations, all of the major media,publishing +interests, the largest banks,all the major corporations, +the upper echelons of the government, and many other vital +interests. Their members are elected and appointed because +they have all the money and special interests behind them. +All, that is, except the peoples. They are undemocratic +and do not in any way represent the majority of the U.S. +of America. These are the people who will decide who +survives the coming holocaust and who does not. + The Bilderburgers, the Council on Foreign Relations +and the Trilateral Commission are the SECRET GOVERNMENT +and rule this nation through MJ-12 and the study group +known as the Jason Society or Jason Scholars and the +top echelon of the government which consist mostly of +their members. + Throughout our history the Aliens have manipulated +and/or ruled the human race through various secret +societies, religion, magic, witchcraft, and the occult. +The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Comm- +ission are in complete control of the alien technology and +are also in complete control of the nation's economy. +Eisenhower was the last president to know the entire ov- +erview of the alien problem. Succeeding presidents were +told only what MJ-12 and the Intelligence Community +wanted them to know and believe me, it wasn't the truth. + MJ-12 has presented each new president with a picture +of a lost alien culture seeking to renew itself, build +a home on this planet, and shower us with gifts of +technology. In some cases the president was told nothing. +Each president in turn has bought the story, or no story +at all, hook line and sinker. Meanwhile innocent people +continue to suffer unspeakable horrors at the hands of +alien and human scientists who are engaged in barbarous +research that would make even the Nazis look like sunday +school children. As if that is not enough many people +end up as food for the insatiable alien appetite for +biological enzymes, glandular hormonal secretions, and +blood. Many people are abducted and are sentenced +to live with psychological and physical damage for the +rest of their lives. In the documents I saw, 1 in 40 +humans have been implanted with devices the purpose of +which I have never discovered. The government believes +that the aliens are building an army of human implants +which can be activated and turned upon us at will. You +should also know that to date we have not even begun to +come close to parity with the aliens. Is this technology +worth it? + The conclusions are inescapable. (1) The secret power +structure believes that, because of our own ignorance or +by Divine Decree, planet Earth will self destruct +sometime in the near future. These men sincerely believe +that they are doing the right thing in their attempt to +save the human race. It is terribly ironic that they have +been forced to take as their partner an alien race which +is itself engaged in a monumental struggle for survival. +Many moral and legal compromises have been made in this +joint effort. These compromises were made in error and +must be corrected and those responsible should be made to +account for their actions. I can understand the fear and +urgency that must have been instrumental in the decision +not to tell the public. Obviously I disagree with +this decision. + Throughout history small but powerful groups of +men have consistently felt that they alone were capable +of deciding the fates of millions and throughout history +they have been wrong. This great nation owes its very +existence to the Principles of Freedom and Democracy. +I believe with all my heart that the United States of +America cannot and will not succeed in any effort that +ignores those principles. Full disclosure to the public +should be made and we should proceed to save the human +race altogether. + (2) We are being manipulated by a joint human/ +alien power structure which will result in the total +enslavement and or destruction of the human race. We +must use any and every means available to prevent this +from happening. + (3) The government has been totally deceived and we +are being manipulated byan alien power which will result +in the total enslavement and/or destruction of the human +race. We must use any and every means available to +prevent this from happening. + (4) Something else is happening which is beyond our +ability to understand at this time. We must force discl- +osure of all the facts, discover the truth and act upon +the truth. + In any case we MUST force disclosure of the truth or +no matter what happens we will surely deserve it. The +situation in which we find ourselves is due to our own +actions or inactions over the last 44 years. It is our own +fault and we are the only ones who can change it. Through +ignorance or misplaced trust we as a people have abdicated +our role as the "watch dog" of our government. Our +government was founded "of the people, for the people, +by the people". There was no mention or intent to ever +abdicate our role and place our total trust in a handful +of men who meet secretly and decide our fate for us. +In fact the structure of our government was designed +to prevent that from ever happening. If we had done +our jobs as citizens this could never have happened. +Most of us are completely ignorant as to even the most +basic functions of our government. We have truly become +anation of sheep. Sheep are always eventually led to the +slaughter. It is time to stand up in the manner +of our forefathers and walk like men. I remind you all, +that the Jews of Europe marched to the ovens, after +having been warned, believing all the while that the +facts could not possibly be true. When the outside +world was told of the holocaust occuring in Hitler's +Europe it was not believed. I state here and now that +Hitler was manipulated by these same aliens. + I have brought you the truth as I know it. I do +not care what you think of me. I have done my duty and +no matter what fate lies in store for me, I can truly +meet my maker with a clear conscience. I believe first +in God. The same God my ancestors believed in. I believe +in Jesus Christ and that he is my Savior. I believe second +in the Constitution of the United States of America as +it was written and meant to work. I have given my oath +to protect and defend the Constitution of the United +States of America against all enemies foreign and +DOMESTIC.

If you can resist + +your Unconscious reflex to suspend your disbelief, however, your + +critical faculties will be aroused to demand an explanation. And + +you want to be told in terms you can understand; an explanation + +you can't understand is no explanation at all --- like being + +paid money you can't spend. + + + An expert can't explain anything to you unless he knows + +what you can understand. Therefore, it is necessary for you to + +tell the exegist what you know before he can begin to tell you + +what he knows. So, how do you tell the expert where you are + +coming from without drawing a detailed map of your entire life + +territory? The expert sees what you know by the questions you + +ask him. Now you may wonder what kind of a question tells what + +you know, already. The right question to ask for a + +comprehendable explanation is the question to which you already + +know the answer; any other question will elicit a reply that can + +only confuse the matter. You can prove the practicality of this + +tactic by observing what happens every time your child asks a + +question without knowing what he is talking about. If you can't + +think of a question that you can answer immediately, ask a + +question for which you know how to find the answer. You can + +always find the answer to your question if you ask what the + +mystery does and what you can do about it? Directions you can + +understand but cannot implement mean that the matter is of no + +concern to you, so you are only wasting your time by investing + +more than idle curiosity. Anyone who can't give you directions + +you can follow doesn't know what you are talking about, and + +probably doesn't know what he is talking about, either, so you + +are only wasting your curiosity, never mind your belief. The + +main importance of knowing the answer when asking questions is + +that you also know when you are being answered truthfully, or + +you'll find out soon enough. + + + Ah... so! A good question for starters is what are the + +identifiable characteristics of hyperspace that make it + +different from the ordinary garden variety of real estate where + +you hoe for a living. By strict mathematical definition, at + +least four dimensions are required in a space that can hold more + +than one (tridimensional) volume in the same place at the same + +time. All you have to do to find hyperspace is put two things in + +the same place at the same time --- and there you have + +hyperspace, already. See how easy it is to understand the + +inconceivable when you ask questions you can answer? + + + Now, you are thinking that I am trying you for a fool. How + +can you put more than one thing in the same place at the same + +time? The directions cannot be followed; therefore, my own + +precepts prove I don't know what I am talking about. Trust me, + +and follow my directions. + + + The professor demonstrates the fourth dimension to + +undergraduates by placing an object on his desk, then replacing + +that object with another object. This is supposed to show that + +two volumes can occupy the same volume at different times, + +proving that time is a fourth dimension. Do you see where the + +professor is breaking the rules? The mathematical definition + +specifies that two things must occupy the same place at the same + ----------- +time before the space can be hyper; occupying the same place at +---- +different times is not the same thing, at all. It is + +flabbergasting that profs have been bamboozling students for + +nearly a century without anyone blowing the whistle; anyone + +presenting this case in law school would be cashiered as soon as + +everyone realized he wasn't kidding. + + + If you want to see real hyperspace, take one very level + +teaspoon of coarsely granulated sugar and one very level + +teaspoon of water. Now, drip the water onto the sugar until you + +have one heaping teaspoon of mixed solution. VOILA! you are + +looking at one teaspoonful of 80% pure hyperspace in your hand. + +How 'bout that, Mr. Spielberg? + + + You will object that the water is merely filling the empty + +spaces between the crystals and the molecules of sugar. And + +there you have it. You have just discovered the principle of + +hyperspace. Genius is simply a matter of recognizing what you + +are looking for when you find it. + + + You have just demonstrated that it is possible for two + +material volumes to coexist in the same space at the same time + +if they are not continuous. In other words, a continuous space + ---------- +is tridimensional, but a discontinuous space allows another + --- +discontinuous space to occupy the discontinuities, thereby + +answering the mathematical definition of four-dimensional + +hyperspace. Discontinuous space-time is what the Quantum Theory + +is all about. + + + The molecules of a solvent do not have enough empty space + +between them to contain the molecules of a solute without some + +increase in the volume of the solution; the amount of additional + +space occupied by the molecular intermixture varies according to + +the kind of molecules. There is, however, enough space between + +atoms for another kind of atoms to occupy without increasing the + +volume of their sum. The proof is found in gas chemistry; when + +44.8 litres of hydrogen is burned with 22.4 litres of oxygen, + +exactly 22.4 litres of water vapour is produced. When the volume + +of oxygen is chemically combined with the volume of hydrogen, + +the compounded mixture occupies exactly the same amount of space + +as the smaller volume of atoms. Chemistry, you see, is the + +applied science of hyperspace. (*1) + + + A solution is not only a discontinuous structure + +manifesting four-dimensional properties, but the molecules + +comprising a solution are also so thoroughly mixed that any + +sample contains the same information that any other sample + +holds, and the information of any sample is identical to the + +information of the entire volume. A structure that contains all + +the information in every one of its parts, and all parts has the + +same significance as the whole, is called a hologram. Solutions + -------- +are the original holograms and holograms are hyperspacial + -------------------------- +structures. +---------- + + Although the Greeks had words for wind, some writers say the + +Greeks were unable to perceive the existence of still air. + +Likewise, hyperspace remains unknown to science simply because it + +is manifest as the oceans of air, water, and light we live in. + +(SIDE-1) + + + Einstein established the concept of the fourth dimension as + +a popular scientific fact, yet, he persisted in thinking of + +space-time as a continuum. You have just seen for yourself, that + +it is impossible to contain four dimensions in a continuum. It is + +the contradiction between Einstein's calculations and his beliefs + +that made him express his Theory of Relativity in words + +impossible to comprehend. Contemporary with Einstein, Max Planck + +plotted the four-dimensional coordinates of atomic space while + +continuing to express himself in tridimensional concepts. And so + +the two seminal genius of modern physics argued across the + +dimensional gap all their lives, unable to reach an agreement. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "CHAP-2B" + + + ============================================= + + + SIDE-1 + + Have you ever seen a three-dimensional square? + + + A square is a two-dimensional + + figure, by mathematical definition; therefore, + + a three-dimensional square must be a + + contradiction of terms. + + + A space that can contain more than one + + plane structure on the same plane at the same + + time answers the mathematical definition of a + + hyperplane. Actually, no one ever made this + + mathematical definition until now; nobody + + thought such a definition would ever be + + needed. + + + Now, project a photographic diapositive + + slide onto a screen. The image you see on the + + projection plane is two-dimensional, isn't it? + + Now, project another image onto the same + + screen at the same time and look at the + + inconceivable mathematical impossibility, two + + perfect planes in the same perfect plane at + + the same time. The perfect hyperplane is + + physically possible because light is the very + + discontinuous wave phenomenon by which Planck + + discovered and proved the Quantum Theory. + + + Make this demonstration in school to + + show your colleagues the five stages of + + psychological repression when the prof flips + + into a Freudian crash --- provided, of course, + + that you have already decided you don't need + + an academic degree to support your sex life in + + the style to which she wants to become accustomed. + + + +------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*1 Hyperspace can be deduced from the Pauli Exclusion +Principle; to wit, two particles cannot occupy the same energy +level at the same time. Exclusion is the effect of phase +opposition. Atoms in phase harmony, however, can occupy the +space at the opposite phase of the other. A chemical explosion +occurs when a shock flips the atomic vibrations out of phase +harmony, causing them to repel each other. + + + 30 +FILENAME: CHAPTER-1B + + + + ____________________________ + I I + I The Theory of Relativity I + I changed everything, I + I except the way I + I Einstein thought. I + I____________________________I + + + + MATHEMATICIANS define a four-dimensional hypersphere as a + +ball containing every point in its volume on its surface. In + +other words, a hypersphere is a globe that is all surface, + +inside and out. If you are baffled, it is simply because you are + +unfamiliar with the verbal statement. You have made hyperspheres + +all your life without knowing it by so many words; nobody told + +you that reg'lar fellas make a hypersphere every morning because + +nobody thought you had to know, so the concept was not included + +in high school family planning courses. + + + Take a sizable piece of tissue paper. It is practically all + +surface and practically no volume, isn't it? Now, crumple it + +into a ball. VOILA! You got the whole hypersphere in your hand. + +The wad is all surface, inside and out, isn't it? (SIDE-1) + + + Books are all surface, inside and out, and no words are so + +plane as the written word. Libraries are filled with four- + +dimensional hypervolumes. Whereas oral communication can be + +processed in Consciousness as small as four dimensions, the + +written language resists reading by minds no greater than four + +dimensions. This is why Johhny can't read after graduating from + +high school. + + + Physicists are puzzled by the way some particles disappear + +at one place and reappear elsewhere, with no trace of passing + +through the intervening space and time. They say that locations + +widely separated in real space are adjacent to each other in the + +fourth dimension. The concept of wormholes is postulated to + --------- +account for jumps through warps in atomic space-time; a wormhole + +is nothing but a quantum jump that doesn't know when to whoa. + +Now, if you look at the wad of paper in your hand, you will see + +that points separated by considerable surface distance are in + +contact. You are holding a handful of wormholes. + + + If you could compress the wad to atomic density, every + +point on its surface would be practically in contact with every + +other point on its surface at the same time, making the entire + +wad into one humungous wormhole. Quantum jumps occur on the + +atomic scale simply because an atom is all wormhole. A structure + +containing every point in contact with every other point is a + +hologram. (*1) + + + ============================================= + + +SIDE-1 + + The human brain has more surface for its + + volume than the brain of any other creature. + + It is necessary for the human brain to have a + + high ratio of surface to volume because the + + human nervous system operates at a high + + electrical potential. Tesla proved that a + + voltage moves to the surface of its conductor + + as its charge is raised. If the human brain + + does not have enough surface to contain its + + charge within its inefficient dielectric, + + nervous electricity will arc and the body will + + go into convulsions. + + + As the human brain increases its + + surface, the operation of the human mind + + evolves from tridimensional activity to + + quadimensional activity. The mental faculty + + for fine-focus is actually splitting hairs to + + the fourth dimension. As a focussing faculty, + + language comes to us from the fourth + + dimension. We have dominion over the beasts of + + the field because language raises human + + consciousness to a dimension above all the + + other animals. If time is a higher dimension, + + then we rule the planet because we are + + conscious of time, also; words are timed. + + The ability of the brain to associate ideas + + that are widely separated by a line of logic + + is a manifestation of wormholes in the brain + + --- so you really do need holes in your head. + + + The TAO says that a cup holds its + + contents by virtue of its emptiness. An + + absolutely empty cup is all surface, and that + + is the end to which the human brain is + + evolving. Empty space is all surface, as you + + can prove for yourself by simple palpation. + + The ambient electromagnetic field is the + + Universal Mind of God that has raised its + + voltage beyond the capacity of a material + + brain. Now you can see that your very own mind + + becomes the legendary Divine Cup when it is + + perfectly empty, and your own Consciousness + + is the very Holy Grail sought by all the more + + or less steined philosophers. + + + --------------------------------------------------------------- + + + * Now that you know a hologram is the product of infinitesmal + division and perfect distribution, you understand that every + point-event in the universe is in immediate contact with a + REPLICA of every other point-event in the universe. Particles + don't jump through wormholes; quantum jumps are an illusion + created when a particle accelerates above detectability (i.e. + light speed) by drawing energy from another particle already + above light speed. When the drawn clone drops into detectability + below light speed, the perceived effect is identical to a single + identified particle that disappears in one place and reappears + instantaneously in another. + + + 30 + +FILENAME: CHAP-1C + + + ____________________ + I I + I The impossible I + I doesn't take I + I any longer. I + I I + I It is only I + I the improbable I + I that takes I + I indefinite time. I + I____________________I + + + + EVERY time you slice a ham for sandwiches, you increase the + +surface of the meat without adding anything to its volume. + +Ultimately, your ham is all surface and no volume. Since a + +hypervolume is all surface, division to finality is the physical + +operation that converts a tridimensional volume into a + +quadimensional surface. The single slice of ham in sandwiches + +sold on the Canadian Pacific Railway, fifty years ago, was + +shaved so thin that it was practically four-dimensional. Fine + +division transforms space from a continuum into a discontinuum. + +Fine division is what quantum physics is all about. + + + The elemental substance of hyperspace is discovered by + +gradually dividing a volume until it becomes a mathematically + +perfect plane. We shall proceed with this process by way of a + +DEDANKEN experiment to discover the perfect four-dimensional + +element. + + + Planets appear to be solid, tridimensional bodies, as in + +rigid, but this perception is mistaken. A planet is an +----- +exceedingly viscous fluid under the pressure of its own gravity, + +and it is centripetal force that molds both planets and + +raindrops into globular shapes. If a giant planet like Jupiter + +were divided into a few parts, all the segments would eventually + +collapse under gravity into balls. The plastic planet is actually + +a mixture of molecules in more or less solution, and you have + +just proven that a solution has more than three dimensions, + +although not quite four. Life as we know it, and everything in + +it, is in between three dimensions and four. + + + If one of the planetary segments were subdivided + +progressively, a critical size would be attained when the + +cohesion of the material exceeds the force of its gravity so + +that it won't collapse into a ball. At this critical size, the + +planet becomes transformed into a chunk. Subplanetary debris is + +the nearest thing we have to ideal (tridimensional) volumes that + +will congregate by their mutual gravitational attraction. + +Trispace is the proper province of gravity, and it is by gravity + +that the trispacial world is described. + + + Dividing the planetary chunk into smaller pieces does not + +produce a congregation of smaller chunks as one may expect from + +a general understanding of gravity; up to a certain distance, + +minute chunks effectively repel each other. Over the course + +of time and continued subdivision, the chunks become a belt of + +cometary debris extending around the entire length of the orbit. + +This observed phenomenon reveals that subdivision of a material + +body to a critical size releases a seemingly mutually repelling + +force that eventually overcomes gravity. (*1) As trispace is + +gradually converted into hyperspace by dividing chunks into + +crystals, electromagnetic forces become manifest until gravity + +is supervened. Quadspace is the proper province of the + +electromagnetic field which defines it. + + + Subdivision of a chunk eventually reaches another critical + +size where individual crystals are defined. When the elemental + +crystal is divided, it ceases to be a crystal by reduction to a + +clump of molecules. The molecular clump can be divided until a + +single molecule remains. At this critical size, one more cut + +destroys the molecule into free radicals. After the radicals are + +sectored into electrically active atoms, the next cut demolishes + +the atom into particles. Eventually all particles are reduced to + +electrons; the electron is pure electricity. Notice that the + +electrical force and particle velocity increases inversely with + +size. + + + The final sectioning transforms the massless volume of the + +electron into photons. A photon is defined by mathematical + +physicists as a plane particle. (SIDE-1) In other words, a + ----- +photon is all surface with no volume. When a tridimensional + +space is subdivided into its elemental photons, all of its + +volume is reduced to an infinite surface. At this point, the + +space is wholly transformed from three dimensions to four. (*2) + + + The empty space of the universe is chock full of nothing + +but photons. Therefore, empty space is absolutely pure, + +hypersolid, Grade A, Government Inspected hyperspace. + + + Four-dimensional structures manifest merely two dimensions + +in trispace (*3); all surfaces are the two-dimensional + +projections into material form of four-dimensional empty space. + +All surfaces are planes. All planes are pure energy. All energy + +is carried by photons. Photons are the agents of all + +transformation and transmutation. Therefore, all activity, + +chemistry, electricity, and change occurs on interfacing + +surfaces; this is why chemical reactions are accelerated by fine + +division. The geometry of energy is the mathematics of alchemy. + + + When Einstein proved that time stops at light speed, the + +corollary that light speed is equivalent to infinite velocity + +also proves that light speed brings everything in the universe + +into immediate contact at the same time. Since the electro- + +magnetic field has light speed, every part of it is everywhere + +at once. In other words, all space everywhere satisfies the + +definition of a hyperspacial hologram and everything in the + +universe is in intimate contact with everything else through + +cosmic wormholes. Since the atom is a part of the universal + +hologram, every atom must contain all the information of the + +entire universe. No wonder there is no end to subatomic + +particles. + + + Correlative with progressive subdivision, the velocities, + +frequencies, and energy levels of parts and particles increase + +inversely as an exponential function of size. When subdivision + +of a tridimensional material body reaches finality by total + +conversion of volume into plane, material is entirely + +transformed into pure radiant photonic energy defined by the + +velocity of light. (*4) In other words, hyperspace is nothing + +but pure, kinetic energy. The higher dimensions of hyperspace + +are the very dimensions of energy already measured, plotted, and + +equated by physicists and engineers since Newton wrote his + +PRINCIPIA. + + + The same equations that accelerate velocity as an inverse + +exponential function of size also prove that size is diminished + +as an exponential inverse function of velocity. In other words, + +size is reduced by accelerated velocity. As a result, a star + +decreases in size inversely with increase in mass until it + +disappears into atomic dimensions upon collapse into the + +hyperlight zone of a Black Hole. Conversely, a photon grows to + +infinite size as it decelerates from light speed. (*5) + + + Einstein used the equations of the Fitzgerald Contraction + +to prove that extension is lost on the axis of travel as a + +function of accelerated velocity until a structure is squeezed + +into a plane at light speed; plane photons is the result of that + +Fitzgerald Contraction. (SIDE-1) From our perspective, Lorentz + +Transformations occur instantaneously above light speed; + +immediately over the time barrier at the light limit, the plane + +contracts into a line and the line collapses into a superdense + +point. The lines are probably manifest as String Theory and the + +points are particles composing the strings. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "CHAP-1D" + + + ============================================= + +SIDE-1 + + The rear end of a racing car crosses the + + finish line after the front end. From the + + velocity of the car and the temporal interval + + between the front and rear ends, the length of + + the car can be calculated; only professional + + mathematicians would conceive of such a + + complicated way to measure the overall length. + + The front end of a bullet enters a target + + ahead of the back end. From the velocity of + + the bullet and the temporal interval between + + the front and rear ends, the length of the + + bullet can be calculated. The bullet, however, + + travels much faster than a car, and a bullet + + is also much smaller. It is considerably more + + difficult, therefore, to measure the temporal + + interval with any significant precision; for + + all practical purposes, the rear end of a + + bullet reaches the target in the same instant + + as the front end. When dealing with a particle + + as small as a photon travelling at light + + speed, it is physically impossible to detect + + any temporal difference between its bow and + + stern. Therefore, for all mathematical + + purposes, both leading and trailing surfaces + + of the photon pass the measuring point in the + + same instant. Mathematically, it is possible + + for two separated surfaces to occupy the same + + point in space at the same instant of time + + only at infinite velocity; as a consequence, + + light speed is mathematically equivalent to + + infinite velocity. Since four dimensions of + + space are required for two volumes to occupy + + the same location at the same instant, it + + follows that acceleration to light speed + + expands the spacial extension of a structure + + from three dimensions to four. Conversely, + + (*3) it is possible for the trailing end of a + + particle travelling at a finite velocity to + + pass the measuring point in the same instant + + as the leading end only if there is no + + distance between the two ends. A perfect plane + + is the only mathematical structure without + + any distance between its front and its rear. + + Since a plane has no extension in the third + + dimension, it is mathematically possible to + + lay an indefinite number of planes in the same + + plane. And that is why planes answer the + + definition of hyperspace. Furthermore, the + + elimination of capacity makes it impossible + + for a plane to carry any mass, and that is why + + photons are massless, plane particles. No mass + + or extension is lost by acceleration; the + + Fitzgerald Contraction is merely a + + mathematical illusion produced by the limits + + of precision. So now you know what the + + mysterious Fitzgerald Contraction is all + + about. A child can understand it easily, but + + professional mathematicians can confuse the + + obvious beyond the comprehension of a + + Philadelphia lawyer. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*1 The mutually repelling feature of small bodies produces the +illusion perceived as the mysterious "Fifth Force". This +illusion is produced when the proper velocity of particles/ +bodies exceeds the orbital velocity defined by their positions +in their field. Collisions among congregated bodies in orbit +exchange velocity to produce a gradual separation. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*2 Whereas the electrically inert, gravitically active chunk +defines the quintessential third dimension, the electromagnetic +but massless photon defines the exact plane of the fourth dimension. + + During its growth, the gravitic field of a star is +supervened by its electromagnetic field. When a star collapses +into a Black Hole, all its manifest gravitic features condense +into the electromagnetic force. A star that collapses into a +Black Hole assumes atomic dimensions; the cosmic Black Hole is +nothing but a glorified atom. Thus, the third dimension spans +the space between quadimensional Black Holes defined by the atom +and the quadimensional Black Holes of stars. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*3 The same mathematics that prove a photon at light speed to +be a plane is extrapolated to prove that a particle's trailing +end gets ahead of its leading end when exceeding light-speed, to +produce reversal of extension on the axis of travel and reversal +of time. In other words, hyperlight speed transforms a structure +into its negative. As a practical consequence, orbitting bodies +are experimentally proven to precess in time as Einstein +calculated correctly. + + The negative of solid material is mathematically emptier +than the perfect vacuum, and that is why a hyperspacial +structure can contain an indefinite number of trispacial +stuctures in the same space at the same time. + + All fields have hyperlight centres, which is why all +fields suck. All fields are glorified Bournelli Force. + + Field repulsion is defined wherever the velocity separating +particles is less than light speed, but greater than zero. Thus, +we find that mutual repulsion is reduced in both directions from +a velocity differential of half light speed; the next chapter +explains why mutual repulsion is defined by the square root of +twice light speed, empirically. As a consequence, we find that +all celestial bodies within the same scale of size repel each +other more than they attract each other, and that is why all the +planets maintain the largest possible average distance from each +other, instead of gravitating into a clump. Velikovsky got +pilloried for pointing out the mutual interplanetary repulsion +that no astrophysicist could see. What greater punishment would +have befallen Velikovsky if he managed to explain the phenomenon +correctly? + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*4 A star cannot be tridimensional because it is a mass of +free radicals, atomic particles, and blazing photons. A star is +actually space in the process of condensing into hyperspace. + + + Most astrophysicists will allow that a Black Hole is space +concentrated into hyperspace by gravity. A Black Hole is +calculated to be a gravitic centre of such intense concentration +that anything falling into it exceeds the speed of light; even +light cannot escape from the interior of a Black Hole. + + Now, if you take this information to an atomic physicist, you +will be told that particles radiate intensely as they are +accelerated to the speed of light. Specialists never compare notes +under penalty of losing their membership cards, but as a lay +person, there is nothing to stop you from putting the empirical +fact of the atomic physicist to the calculated fact of the astro- +physicist to deduce that everything falling into a Black Hole must +radiate with the intensity of a quasar before disappearing into +the gravitic maelstrom. In other words, it is physically impossible +for Black Holes to be black; they must be the most brilliant +centres in the known universe. And that is what a star is; a star +is the brilliant photosphere surrounding a nascent Black Hole. + + +------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*5 In a universe undergoing exponential aceleration, every +observer experiences himself to be the One Still Point while +everything accelerates away at a rate that increases with +distance. Since wave strustures accelerate as a condition of +their physical existence, the Big Bang is an unnecessary +postulate. + + Since mass is a function of velocity, mass must increase as +a function of distance. Infinite mass is found in atomic nuclei +where velocities exceed light speed. In fact, all mass is +defined by nuclear particles. + + Since velocity also accelerates to light speed at the event +horizon, it follows that the event horizon must also be defined +by infinite mass; astrophyicists are busy seeking a lot of +missing mass and can't see it for looking. Since gravitation is +a product of mass, it is necessary that the cosmos gravitate +with accelerating velocity to the event horizon --- which is +what the Big Bang is all about. The point is that the self- +evident can be confused beyond all comprehension, with a little +mathematics, if you don't know what the equations mean. + + + 30 + + +FILENAME: CHAP-1D + + + ____________________________________ + I I + I Easy things are seldom done I + I for the same reason I + I that impossible things I + I are rarely done; I + I no one will pay I + I for anything believed to be easy I + I or impossible. I + I____________________________________I + + + + A SIMPLE demonstration will prove that all empty space is a + +hyperspacial hologram. Fix your camera on a tripod and take a + +picture through the aperture set at f/16. Then, take another + +picture after you open the aperture to f/2. You can see that + +both pictures are practically identical, except for depth of + +sharply focussed field. + + + The aperture opened to f/2 passes a beam of light sixty- + +four times greater in area than the aperture closed to f/16. + +This means that each beam of light, no matter how constricted, + +contains the same information as every other beam and all beams + +put together. The only change that aperture makes is the + +resolution of fine detail. Furthermore, no matter where you set + +the camera, your pictures reveal essentially the same + +information; the only difference that perspective makes is the + +relative sizes and positions of the image details. If your lens + +could accept rays from all directions, you would see that every + +location in space contains all the same information as every + +other location; the differences produced by different locations + +are merely a matter of spacial sequence, aspects, and relative + +size. A space that contains all its information in all of its + +parts answers the mathematical definition of a hologram. You can + +see for yourself that we live in a cosmic hyperspacial hologram. + ----------------------------------------- + + The hypothesis of the universal hologram is shaking + +scientific thought to its foundations at this time, but the + +proof has been self-evident to everyone since the effect of the + +pinhole camera was noticed. How 'bout that, Sir Isaac? William + +Blake understood the universal hologram when he saw the universe + +in a grain of sand; art is truth apprehended directly with no + +need for logic --- so is insanity. + + + Everyone has seen holograms in charm bracelets, on credit + +cards, in science fairs, and on the cover of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. + +A hologram can be understood as a moire pattern made with light + +waves. The EDMUND people at EDMUND SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS + International Operations Department + 8780 Edscorp Building + Barrington, New Jersey + 08007 U.S.A. + +will sell you a kit of moire patterns to study. Moire patterns + +serve as moving pictures to illustrate this book. + + + The hologram was inconceivable outside of a small cabal of + +theoretical physicists who plotted the mathematics since the + +beginning of this century, and a hologram couldn't be produced + +until the laser was invented to provide the necessary coherent + +waves. Without any parade of mathematics, I discovered the + +hologram while soaking in my tub, with my big toe protruding + +above the surface of the steamy water. I dare say many other + +soakers must have made the same discovery since bathing became + +intentional. (*1) + + + Ordinary light can be represented by splashing water in a + +bathtub until the surface is covered with random waves. In + +contrast, a slow drip from the faucet into a tub full of still + +water covers the surface with a regular, parallel wave pattern, + +illustrating the coherent light waves in a laser beam. Now, if + +you set a firm object in the tub so that it breaks the surface + +of the water, the regular waves will reflect from the surface of + +the object, and the reflected waves intersect the regular waves + +at an angle determined by the angle of reflection. Soon the + +entire surface of the water is covered with a pattern of regular + +waves perfusing with reflected waves. The remarkable feature of + +this pattern is that the angles of intersection are about the + +same over the entire surface; remember Euclid's theorem that a + +straight line intersects all parallel lines at the same angle. + +In other words, every part of the surface of the water contains + +the same information; you have created a hologram in your + +bathtub. If it were possible to reverse the flow of the + +reflected waves, they would return to their points of reflection + +to reconstruct the cross section of the object. + + + The coherent light of a laser beam functions as a moire + +screen. Waves reflected from an object function as a second + +moire screen to generate an interference pattern, like you can + +see in your tub demonstration. A sheet of microfine-grain + +photographic film placed in the laser light will record a moire + +pattern of swirls and whorls; no camera or lens is needed. The + +extremely fine lines defining wave interference function as a + +diffraction grating and a diffraction grating functions as a + +lens. When another laser beam is shone through the film, the + +rays are bent to meet at focal points corresponding to resolved + +points on the surface of the photographed object so that + +projection reconstructs the form of the original solid object as + +a ghostly image in space viewable from all sides. A real ghost + +is a natural hologram. + + + Any movement while a hologram is being exposed will blur + +one wave into another to register nothing but an even light fog. + +Therefore, holograms are photographed on heavy stone tables + +firmly set on bedrock --- after consulting timetables for nearby + +railways and jetliner takeoffs, and the children are asleep. + +Furthermore, the photographic film must be at least as fine- + +grained as the moire pattern in the laser light if the image is + +to be resolved. Film speed varies directly with graininess, so + +holographic microfilm is the slowest emulsion since Daguerre + +clamped his portrait sitters in a vise. The growing interest in + +holography is likely to stimulate Great Yellow Father to improve + +the speed of fine-grain film, while inventors will figure out + +ways to simulate holography by more practical techniques for + +making television images in-the-round; the solution to cheap + +holograms seems to be in computer graphics. + + + Holograms confound common sense because few people have + +ever seen diffraction gratings, and fewer have any idea how they + +function as lenses. Light bends around the edge of material + +particles, like you can see waves bend around your own big toe + +sticking through the water surface in your tub. Waves are bent by + +the edges of material structures because every body produces + +photonic turbulence around its surface, and turbulence retards the + +smooth transmission of wave energy. The more edges a ray of light + +brushes, the more it is bent. The amount of bending a diffraction + +grating imposes on a transmitted beam is determined by the + +closeness of lines in the area. (SIDE-1) In other words, the + +refractive index of a diffraction grating is a function of the + +concentration of the lines; the refractive index approaches + +infinity as the lines crowd together; the material becomes + +opaque when the lines touch each other to become a continuous + +area. A continuously accelerated density of lines across the + +diameter of a diffraction grating can bend all rays to the same + +focal point, like a parabolic glass lens or a Fresnel lens. A + +holograph of a lens functions as a lens. Since it is easier to + +print a diffraction grating onto an optical flat than to grind + +and polish delicate glass, Japanese are trying to solve the + +problems of diffusion and opacity in order to manufacture camera + +lenses as compact, light, and inexpensive as filters. + + + The swirls and whorls of lines you see on a hologram mean + +that the light-bending power varies over its surface. A hologram + +is a complex lens with many focal points. A hologram can also be + +conceived as an array of innumerable lenses of different focal + +lengths, each focal point corresponding to a point resolved on + +the original object. Therefore, a hologram projects a + +tridimensional image instead of the plane image defined by an + +ordinary lens with a single focal length. + + + The concept of photographic negative is imprinted in the + --------------------- +mind so that people continue to perceive the hologram as a + +negative image even though there is no image on the film. As a + +consequence, watching a hologram being cut into several pieces + +with each piece containing the entire image is utterly baffling, + +demonstrating as it does that Aristotle's Three Laws of Logic + +are not absolutely true, but merely expresses the way the mind + +defines its perceptions. This modern miracle of loaves and + +fishes is also self-evidently simple when you think about what + +you actually see instead of see what you think you see. + + + A hologram is not a pictorial image, but an array of lenses + +that projects the same image from any light. You can see how a + +hologram works by looking through a window sectored into many + +small panes. The view through each pane is the same, except for + +parallax displacement, and the view is complete no matter how + +small the pane. Likewise, you will find the same view through + +each lens in an array. A hologram is composed of millions of + +lens-like panes, mixed as thoroughly as gas molecules in the + +atmosphere. Since every part of a hologram has an equal sampling + +of replicated lenses, it is obvious that each part must project + +the same picture in its entirety. As a hologram is reduced in + +size, however, the number of lenses it contains is reduced, and + +the holograph becomes fuzzy when there are insufficient lenses + +to resolve each point in the image, uniquely. (*2) + + + The universal hologram is composed of points in a volume + +rather than lines on a film plane. Every particle in the cosmos + +functions as a point in a voluminous diffraction grating, bending + +light as Einstein calculated the curve of waves around the Sun. + +The bending produced by the Sun is noticeable only to + +astrophysicists looking for the phenomenon; the bending of light + +by atomic particles is immeasurably minute, but there are an + +infinite number of particles in the cosmos, and compounding + +their refraction over a few million light years adds up to the + +curve of space around the fourth dimension. Einstein's + +mysterious curve of space, you see, can be understood as an + +effect produced by the diffraction of light as it flows through + +the cosmos. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "CHAP-1E" + + =========================================== + +SIDE-1 + + The refraction of transmitted light by a + + hologram is produced by wave interference that + + amplifies phases off the projection axis so + + that the beam of light appears to turn to one + + side without any actual bending of the rays. + + You can see this effect in the way moire + + patterns are turned from the direction of + + their elementary waves. The trouble with using + + a diffraction grating as a lens is that it + + really diffracts light to produce the illusion + + of bending; diffraction also produces the + + colour fringing that blurs all holograms not + + viewed by laser light. + + + Another way of understanding how a + + diffraction grating can function as a lens is + + illustrated by the pinhole camera. Light + + passing through a pinhole forms an image. + + Light passing through many pinholes form many + + overlapping images. The images of random + + pinholes fuse into a blurry patch of light. If + + the pinholes are spaced at regular intervals + + according to wavelength, however, the images + + will fuse into register to form a brighter and + + sharper image. A hologram can be considered as + + an array of pinholes separated at wave length + + intervals. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*1 Itshak Bentov, author of Stalking_The_Wild_Pendulum and +A_Co(s)mic_Book, discovered the principle of the hologram in a +similar observation. If Diogenes had any water in his tub, he may +have been the first Western philosopher to discover the +structure of the universe. + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*2 A hologram is to a picture what a shape program is to a bit- +mapped picture in computer graphics.

I + I____________________________________________I + + + + WHERE a current of water meets an opposing current, a bar + +or tidal rip is raised. The water in a opposed wave cycles, but + +the opposed wave does not travel; it remains raised in one spot + +as a standing-wave. + ------------- + + A cup of coffee on board a motor vessel or railway car + +manifests a pattern of concentric, annular standing-waves on its + +surface. These rings are raised by vibrations radiating from the + +walls of the cup to the centre, whence they continue until + +they strike the opposite wall and are reflected to repeat the + +cycle. The wavelengths which meet each other in exact phase + +congruence generate the standing-wave pattern; the other + +vibrations do not interfere with each other. In other words, the + +standing-waves are a wave/phase interference pattern similar to + +a moire pattern. The molecules in the central standing-wave + +swirl in a vortex. The standing-waves you see in your cup is, in + +fact, a model of the Solar System and atomic structure. + + + Wave velocity is a function of the average particle + +velocity in the medium. Like cars speeding in traffic, particles + +driven faster than the average soon pile up a resisting bow wave + +that forces them to turn. When particles are driven to twice the + +average velocity, they are forced to turn around a complete + +circle, effectively stopping most of their net travel and + +raising a wave that travels at the average particle velocity in + +the medium. Particles driven faster than twice the average + +velocity in the medium are forced to turn around a second plane, + +to generate a secondary wave flowing at right-angles to the + +primary. The wave pattern you see on the surface of open water + +reveals these orthogonal dynamics. Particles driven over four + +times the average in the medium are forced to turn around a + +third plane at right-angles to the other two, to produce a fluid + +vortex. (*1) A conical standing-wave is the negative of a vortex. + + + The plane of particle cycling is at right-angles to the + +surface wave flow; frequency is wave velocity cycling at right- + +angles to wave flow. Since cycling is produced by exceeding the + +speed limit, it follows that frequency represents particle + +velocity above wave velocity. Since momentum increases by the + +square of velocity, it follows that wave energy must increase by + +the square of wave frequency. Therefore, when photon velocity + +reaches light-speed, the electromagnetic wave satisfies the + +equation, e=mc^2. And where a radiant wave meets another radiant + +wave in precise phase opposition, the photonic fluid must + +collapse into a vortex because their photons exceed four + +times average medium velocity in each wave relative to the other + +to generate the matter-wave frequencies calculated by de + +Broglie. Furthermore, the logical definition of a wave cycle + +makes a partial cycle impossible; therefore all radiant energy + +must exist in quantum units defined by frequency. Anyone could + +have deduced the Quantum Theory from observation of watery waves + +without waiting for Planck to analyze the Ultraviolet Catastrophe + +and for Einstein to confuse the Theory of Relativity. + + + If you have followed the line of reason through the + +previous paragraph, you must realize that material particles are + +created where the photonic field constituting empty space + +collapses into atomic vorteces. Fluid vorteces, therefore, must + +manifest the physical properties of material. It is the density + +gradient of the photonic vortex surrounding material particles + +that bends light rays. If you inspect a vortex in your bath tub, + +you will see for yourself that it refracts the light it + +transmits to cast both a bright spot and a shadow on the bottom + +of the tub. A whorl comprising a hologram is a standing-wave + +vortex, and you can see for yourself that it also bends light to + +produce bright spots and shadows. A vortex manifests the + +inertia of its spin, and inertia is the definitive physical + +property of a material particle. Mass is nothing but a + +measurement of gyroscopic inertia. Physics students can prove in + +ten minutes that vortex equations are equivalent to field and + +matter equations. (*2) + + + Since a hologram is defined by vorteces and since particles + +are vorteces, the universal hologram is a cosmic compound vortex + +that defines itself by the very waves it transmits. As particles + +bend light to focal points, and radiant energy condenses into + +particles at focal points, all the particles in the universal + +hologram literally procreate all the particles in the universal + +hologram. Continuous movements throughout the universe produce + +continuously changing focal points so that all material particles + +move continuously as they grow and decompose back to radiant + +energy in the eternal cycle of YIN and YANG. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "CHAP-1F" + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*1 The paradox of the vortex is that its acceleration +results in a collapse of volume to produce increasing density +while pressure falls; as a consequence, the surrounding medium +is sucked into the vortex. In common experience, natural fluid +vorteces are ephemeral because velocities exceeding four times +the medium average are soon absorbed by the fluid field to +raise the average energy of the medium. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*2 Newton noticed the congruence between the equations for +fields and vorteces, but he decided to omit the proof from his +Theory of Gravitation, and postulated a hypothetical attractive +force, instead, even though he admitted that it is physically +impossible to substantiate an attractive force through empty +space. (I credit Mr. Whamond for this historical information.) +Einstein rediscovered the identity of field with mass in the +calculation of his General Theory of Relativity, and de Broglie +rediscovered the same equivalence twenty years later.

I + I__________________________I + + + + THIS thesis has grown over twenty-five years since I noticed + +that the ceremonial KATAS of the ZEN martial arts express the + +very same energy equations that physicists write in mathematical + +notation. (SIDE-1) Once I discovered this key, I realized that + +all forms of art are mathematical equations expressing + +transformations of energy more subtle than brute strength. Works + +of art are a special kind of physical machinery that projects + +higher-dimensional structures into lower-dimensional spaces for + +some convenience of perceiving. You can see the way art performs + +this function by applying the rules of optical perspective to + +represent a three-dimensional structure on a plane surface. + + + The most familiar kind of pictorial perspective presents the + +appearance of its subject from but a single viewpoint. In order + +to comprehend a solid structure in its entirety, it is necessary + +to render it from as many aspects as are required to reveal all + +of its structural details in their correct relationships to each + +other; many tridimensional perspectives must be studied in order + +to construct a conception of a hyperspacial entity. + + + The art of mathematics presents alternative aspects in the + +form of tautological equations, each expressing the view from a + +different frame of reference, such as a=lw, l=a/w, and w=a/l to + +describe the two-dimensional structure of a square by one- + +dimensional semantics. All the codices of mathematical equations + +express different views of the single hyperspacial entity known + +as the universe; our comprehension of the universal structure + -------- +is far from complete. + + + Artists have a vocation to express their perceptions of + +hyperspacial realities from every point of view that man can + +reach, at every different time that man can live in, to provide + +us with handles on universal truths.

I + I I + I The differences between them I + I are mainly a matter I + I of professional jargon. I + I___________________________________I + + + + YOU are able to perceive voluminous space only because your + +mind fuses the two different perspectives received by your two + +eyes. *1 + + + From one point of view, your inner eye sees merely plane + +images. In order to perceive solid structures in voluminous + +space, you must move around the subject under observation and + +fuse an indefinite number of aspects from all sides. A cone, + +for illustration, is seen as a circle in plan view, a triangle in + +elevation, and various angles subtended by various arcs in all + +other views. The solid structure of a cone is conceived only + +after fusing all images in the mind. If your mind were not able + +to construct this gestalt, you would be unable to recognize the + ------- +triangular aspect of the cone as having the same identity as the + +circular aspect. (SIDE-1) + + + The ability to fuse an indefinite number of plane images + +into a solid image in the mind is usually achieved during + +childhood as we master language, so no one is aware of common + +aberrations. As an example, few people saw the view from the top + +until everyone travelled by air. Without flight experience, you + +don't learn to fuse plan views of the landscape with the familiar + +elevations; therefore, aerial photographs remain unintelligible + +to most people. You would be surprised by the number of people + +who cannot read blueprints because of their inability to fuse all + +sectional drawings into a dynamic tridimensional gestalt. Cubism + +is four-dimensional perspective; the art of Cubism makes no sense + +to people who cannot analyze plural perspectives and recombine + +them mentally to form a hyperspacial image of the pictorial + +subject. + + + Since George Eastman provided everyone with a camera, we find + +that most snapshots, like driver's IDs, can't be recognized by the + +subject's mother. How is it possible for the camera (that cannot + +lie) to produce unrecognizable portraits? From the infinite number + +of views you see of your nearest and dearest, only a certain number + +are selected for fusion into the mental image of the person you + +identify. The zillions of other views are occulted from the visual + +consciousness because they are insignificant or because the + +differences are great enough to produce the painful condition of + +cognitive dissonance that prevents fusion of disparate ideas. +-------------------- + + Cognitive dissonance is produced by harmonic discord among + +the vibrations defining ideas, images, and sounds. All + +differences produce cognitive dissonance until discordant phases + +are cancelled and the remaining vibrations are resolved into a + +harmonically integrated gestalt in a higher dimension, like a + +musical chord. Wave cancellation is the physical basis of the + +concept of psychological repression established by Freud; these + +wave mechanics also produce KARMA. (*2) + + + Interference between (mental) waves transforms them into + +other frequencies so that objects are not perceived as they + +really are, if they are not rendered altogether invisible as a + +consequence of cognitive dissonance. Therefore, each person sees + +and hears truly only those signals that are congruent with the + +conceptual patterns already defining one's own mental structure; + +all other perceptions are distorted and repressed, occulted + +behind the Veils of Maja. (SIDE-2) At the bottom line, + +intereference produces a pair of predominant patterns separated + +by 180o of phase. As a result, reality is perceived to be + +polarized between good and evil, black and white, strong and + +weak, male and female, etc. + + + Just as only one side of a solid structure can be seen at a + +time, without a mirror, only one phase of a hyperspacial + +structure can be perceived directly at one time. It is natural, + +therefore, to assign a unique identity to different phases that + +exceed the observer's capacity for resolution into a single + +gestalt. Virtue is not recognized as the front of vice, no light + +is seen in darkness, and you have to know your TAO to find + +strength in compliance. Union of complementary opposites + +transforms them both into a structure of higher dimension. The + +degree to which you can resolve polar opposites establishes the + +dimensional scope of your Consciousness. An understanding of + +hyperspace enables you to answer problems that defy all + +philosophers limited to three-dimensional concepts; given + +sufficient scope, you will even understand the opposite sex. (*3) + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "INTRO-D" + + +=============================================================== + +SIDE-1 + Assigning different identities to + + different aspects of the same structure is + + most commonly experienced in interpersonal + + relationships. During the initial rush of + + love, all perceptions that trouble the purity + + of the relationship is repressed. Admonitions + + from friends and family to watch where you are + + giving your heart are ignored as utterly + + irrelevant to the paragon identified with all + + the virtues of true love, and none of the + + vices. When dissonant aspects of the loved one + + appear from behind the Veils of Maja, they are + + perceived to belong to another person, a + + stranger in your home and a devil in your bed. + + + Unable to conceive that pleasure and pain + + can come from the same parent, infants + + perceive a good true-parent and a wicked step- + + parent. Most people still cannot identify God + + with the devil, nor can they perceive that + + Heaven and hell are complementary aspects of + + one real world. + + + ============================================= + +SIDE-2 + The Latin mind has no imprinted concept + + of the English SCHWA sound.

When seen as a + O O O O plane image, a transparent cube + O O O O presents a different structure + OOOOOOOOOOOOO O from every point of view, and + \ O \ O except when seen in a plan or + \OOOOOOOOOOOOO elevation, no aspect resembles + the shape of an opaque box. +This is an object lesson in the difference between the structure +of an entity in hyperspace and the form it presents in a lower +dimensional space. + + Since God is an Entity of utmost dimensional extent, +no man can look at a complete image of It in this lifetime --- +and that is the reason for the religious prohibition against +graven images. In order to preclude any manifestation of The God +That Is All That Is from being worshipped as the One Big I, The +First Commandment is engraved, "Thou shalt not hold any god +before Me." Anything less than God is the very devil, and the +devil grows more diabolical as it grows more Godly; the devil is +the Brightest Angel of them all. + + The worship of anything less than God, no matter how Godly, +is Satanism; the good people of this world are far more +dangerous than the bad. You see, the only difference between bad +people and good people is that bad people say that all wars are +good, whereas good people say that some wars are good; both +sides agree that no war is bad unless it is lost. As the child +prays, "Dear God, please make all the bad people good and the +good people nice." + + 30 + + + + + THE mind is able to fuse two visual images only when + +there is practically no difference between them. Fusion of visual + +images into a stereo gestalt becomes impossible if the two + +perspectives differ by more than the interocular distance. In + +other words, there is a limit to the amount of difference that + +can be resolved without producing an identity crisis. (SIDE-1) + + + To illustrate, if your views of a cone were limited to the + +extremes of plan and elevation, only extraordinary conditions and + +mathematical calculation would enable you to realize that the two + +mutually incommensurable figures were aspects of the same + +identity in a higher dimension of space. Ordinarily, you are able + +to relate one extreme view to the other extreme by innumerable + +other viewing angles revealing the gradual transformation of the + +circle into the triangle. Even after identifying the circle as + +an allotropic aspect of the triangle, you would still be unable + +to form the concept of a solid cone unless your mental space + +were large enough to comprehend three dimensions; you would + +believe that the conical structure alternates between a + +circle and a triangle according to the viewing angle; it would + +be the wave-particle paradox all over again. + + + On the atomic scale, hyperspacial rotations occur at such + +speed that transition phases between extreme views cannot be + +resolved within the temporal precision of the experiment. The + +wave-particle dichotomy is refractory to scientific + +comprehension not only because an electron flips between its two + +phases faster than the instruments can follow, but also because + +both wave packets and particles are three-dimensional concepts. + +Mentally unable to comprehend ultratridimensional entities, + +physicists identify different projections of one subatomic + +particle as several new discoveries, and that is why there is no + +end to the number of elementary particles. + + + At least four dimensions of space are required to fuse + +several three-dimensional structures into a single identity in + +the same place at the same time. The most highly respected + +scientific authorities aver that it is impossible for any human + +intellect to visualize space extending in more than three + +dimensions. Nevertheless, your mind reveals the mathematical + +parameters of four-dimensional hyperspace every time you fuse + +more than one three-dimensional image into a gestalt. Look at + +that, would you; like the atom, the inner space of your mind is + ------------------------------- +hyper! Hyperspace is as familiar to you as your own mental +----- +concepts. How 'bout that, Dr. Einstein? + + + The science of physics is actually the physics of + +perception. Your mind is a house of many mansions. Most people + +never see the doors in the walls of their nurseries; they spend + +their entire spiritual lives confined in the crib where they + +were born, while they can only wonder about the sounds of family + +activity that transpire dimly into their windowless + +compartments. In these pages, you will read the construction + +plans of your spiritual palace. Once you realize that the + +barriers limiting your experience are merely partitions, you + +will open the doors of your mind to explore the manifold halls + +of self-knowledge. You may even leave your father's house to + +make your way as a grown person in the big hyperworld outside. + +Of course, it is dangerous out there, and not all who venture + +return sound and successful, but that is what real life is all + +about when play school is left behind.

I + I___________________________I + + + FUSING disparate images depends upon the development of a + +faculty for ignoring differences. The mind learns to ignore + +differences by subsuming them to a common feature, such as + +association of time, place, utility, or physical property. The + +subsumption of ideas into abstract classifications is produced + +by wave interference; and so, particular, individual differences + +are repressed to the Unconscious as the mind grows from + +perceptions limited to tangible sense data to comprehend + +abstract concepts. (SIDE-1) + + + Plato wrote the original hyperspacial theory explaining + +that each of the material bodies in this world is a + +manifestation of an Ideal Form in Heaven. In modern mathematical + +terms, Plato can be paraphrased to say that each individual + +structure is a unique cross- section (or projection) of an + +entity existing in a space of more than three dimensions, + +intersecting with our tridimensional world. Plato conceived his + +concept of Universal Form by the mental process of verbal + +abstraction, and then with true philosophic backasswardness he + +declared that the particular is derived from the abstract, + +instead of the other way 'round; nevertheless, Plato is right. + + + Since Plato explained that all individual differences are + +unique aspects of the ideal, and since wave interference is + +proven to be the physical mechanism that subsumes differences + +within the gestalt, the technical means for revealing a tangible + +manifestation of the Ideal Form is self-evident. By + +superimposing an indefinitely large number of individual images + +of the same class of tangible manifestations, the individual + ----- +wave-forms arrange themselves according to the principle of the + +Conservation of Energy into a single, harmonically integrated + +structure. Photographers will recognize this process as the way + +to make a hologram. A hologram, therefore, is a tangible + -------- +hyperspacial structure. How 'bout that, Dr. Gamow? + + + A hologram looks like nothing so much as a compounded + +vortex. A compound vortex is what a hyperspacial entity looks + +like when it becomes manifest in its entirety as a tridimensional + +form. When Cecil B. DeMille represented the God of Moses as a + +vortex of light, he was revealing his Unconscious knowledge of + +the platonic Ideal.

VIVE LES + + DIFFERENCES! + + + ========================================= + +SIDE-2 + + Christ is the God of Man, variously + + called The Son of God and The Son of Man. The + + epithets of Christ mean that He is the + + platonic Ideal of the human species, and each + + of us is a unique manifestation of this + + Universal Ideal Human Being. + + + A special kind of holographic portrait + + of the Christ can be produced by superimposing + + an indefinite number of life-size photographs + + of people. This technical photography has + + actually been done. In this process, the + + superimposed waves do not produce a vortex; + + instead, the wave interference pattern is + + manifest like the superimposition of musical + + notes to produce a predominant key tone. The + + image resulting from this extraordinary + + holographic process reveals an ineffably + + beautiful human body of exquisitely perfect + + proportions. Christ is quite simply the One + + Perfect Human Being from Whom all mortals are + + imperfectly projected. + + + Individuals possessing features + + approximating the human average manifest some + + of Christ's Divine Beauty, and that is why all + + us mortals who deviate from the average are + + moved to adore these paragons of pulchritude. + + Unhappily, the instinct to deify the norm has + + the necessary consequence of abhorring + + deviation as the very devil. + + + The great truth revealed by this + + photographic demonstration is not that good + + looks are as good as God; the image of the + + Perfect Human Being is composed of every one + + of the ugliest and most deviant among us, as + + well as the most beautiful freaks. Beauty + + without ugliness is less than the whole + + platonic Human Being, and anything less than + + perfect is diabolical to the degree that + + wholeness is lacking. + + + The youthful, female form divine tends + + toward the average human proportions; the + + elderly, male form is the ugly deviant. + + Mortals who have seen the Christ Spirit + + testify that His counten-nance is like an + + unmarked youth with compassion that is learned + + only through eons of suffering; His ugliness + + radiates beauty. + + + The closer a nearly holy creature + + approaches perfection, the greateris its power + + for evil, and that is why Satan is the + + Brightest Angel of them all, second only to + + the Creator, Itself; the buck private's + + mistakes will kill him, but the general's + + mistakes kill everyone. Before damning the + + practically good, execrating the almost true, + + and abominating the compellingly beautiful as + + Temptation, always remember and bear in mind + + that Money is not Evil; it is the worship + ------- + of Money that possesses one's soul.

Words are the product of fusing all the unique + +images of several structures into an ultraspacial gestalt. + + + The gestalt represented by its abstract noun is not visible + +to the material eye because it is a ultratridimensional physical + +structure that is manifest to our Consciousness only as a form + +of what we conceive to be mental energy, more rarified than + +electromagnetic substance. A word is an image of an ultraspatial + +mental Form; words are the very Ideas that Plato talked about. + + + The tridimensional material eye can see only a unique, + +material example of the gestalt at any one time. In other words, + +a gestalt exists as an extension of its material manifestations + +in the form of a trajectory through time and space; to wit, a + ---------- ---- +mental concept extends through no fewer than four dimensions. + +(SIDE-1) The minds comprehends the dimensions of time; this is + +why intelligence is identified with the sense of time. Abstract + +verbal concepts are understood only as they can be comprehended + +within the temporal dimensions of one's mind; a mind is perceived + +to grow to the extent that it perceives precedents and + +consequences. Athena is merely the god of intellect; the ruler of + +consciousness is Kronus, the Overlord of Time and Change. + + + The nemesis of abstraction, as Korzybski pointed out, is + +that the symbol becomes the reality, and the individual + +differences in the real world are occulted behind the Veils of + +Maja. As the focus of the mind shifts from the immediately + +tangible world to verbal concepts, the mind becomes separated + +from the body and both lose their health. Paradise is a myth + +about a preverbal Consciousness, before men created words and + +subsequently mistook the symbol (idol) for reality (God); the + +Fall of Man and his Expulsion is the consequence of worshipping + +verbally fashioned images. Philosophers pretend to lead us back + +to reality on ways paved with more words of higher abstraction, + +like devils promising to lead us to Heaven. If the devil is the + +Father of Lies, words are surely the Mother. + + + Conscious mind is a creation of words. Therefore, no one in + +his socially defined, right-thinking, right-handed mind can + +perceive anything not previously defined by words. Experiments + +have found that people lacking the words to describe subtle + +colours are also unable to distinguish fine differences in hues, + +but as soon as they are given the words to define the + +differences between crimson, scarlet, and vermillion, for + +example, they no longer see all reds as red. Poets expand the + +common Consciousness by giving new meanings to old words and by + +coining new words. + + + Words referring to abstract concepts are projections of + +spiritual structures from hyperspace into our mental space. + +We are unable to know the higher dimensions of the hyperspacial + +universe we live in because our culture lacks the verbal + +concepts for our minds to perceive what our eyes plainly see. + +Although there is no way that you can learn to swim without + +getting wet, reading is the most efficient way for you to + +acquire the vocabulary of hyperspace that you need for your eyes + ---------- +to open on the New Heaven and New Earth of hyperspace. + +Hyperspacial vocabulary is what this book is all about. + + + Scientific knowledge is nothing but verbal knowledge, and + +knowledge is the key to power; humanity is ruled by words. The + +physical and mathematical principles that explain the material + +world of three dimensions also control the manifestations of + +hyperspacial energies; e.g., e=mc^2 opens the way to the high- + +dimensional energies of the atom. Furthermore, the very forms in + +which higher-dimensional energies are represented serve as a + +handle for wielding the power. This is what magic, idols, + +charms, amulets, spells, incantations, hexes, and prayers are + +all about. (*1) + + + Artists, scientists, and mystics who glimpse spirits dimly + +through the Veils of Maja limn a projection of the eternal + +entities into the human dimensions of literature, theatre, + +music, dance, architecture, engineering, philosophy, + +mathematics, justice, politics, morality --- in a word, culture. + ------- +Like pictorial art, all cultural artifacts compress hyperspacial + +structures into fewer dimensions so that ideas are represented + +in more or less tangible forms. The form is the specialized + +language of its poet and the meaning of the form is the essence + +of the myth. + + + The difference between science and religion is the + +difference between the quantified equations of mathematics and + +the unquantified equations of metaphore. Those who cannot focus + +their mental scope with sufficient precision to count must + +guesstimate relationships by comparing superficial attributes to + +derive meanings from their experiences. The errors of both + +science and religion are produced by logical deductions made + +from inherently faulty language, but the errors cannot be + +perceived by people who mistake their words for real things and + +their language for a real map. Philosophic disputes are word + +wars; those who live by their words also die by their words. + + + The highest energies are manifest in the power of pure + +thought, which mortals call God. Words are the coins of thought, + +like money is minted power. It is the extraspacial power of the + +human God expressed through the words of men that vouchsafes our + +articulate species dominion over all the dumb beasts of the + +field, and word power is the very Divine soul deficient in all + +other planetary life.

ZEN + +Masters penetrate the Veils of Maja cast by verbal logic to + +apprehend reality by direct experience.

(*2) Nevertheless the Masters knew a mathematical + +language, and they used it to express their knowledge of + +hyperspace. They composed their KATAs as mathematical equations + +in the languages of art, music, chanting, dancing, theatre, + +graphics, and architecture. The arts inspired with ZEN are + +exquisitely measured. The Hyperspace Trilogy is a Rosetta Stone + +translating the language of the ZEN arts into the language of + +modern science. This book could be called The Physics of TAO. + + + The sage says, "Seek and ye will find. Ask and it will be + +answered unto you." Scientists are fond of saying that their + +business is discovering the right questions to ask. If + +scientists weren't so cocksure that they knew everything there + +is to know about their business, any lawyer could tell them how + +to discover the right questions. The correct question is the + --------------------------- +question to which you already know the answer. If you don't have +--------------------------------------------- +an immediate answer, you must know where to find it. No other + +questions are of any use in the enterprise of deducing Nature's + +secrets. + + + ZEN Masters are fond of answering disciples asking for + +wisdom by a question called a KOAN. KOANs are believed to be + +nonsense intended to confuse one's mind until a critical tension + +precipitates a mystical insight. KOANs are not nonsense; they + +are a special kind of question to which you already know the + +answer, but you don't want to know you know because such + +knowledge is self-knowledge; the most heinous crime of this + +civilization is to be caught in possession of self-knowledge. + +Self-knowledge, you see, is the special kind of knowledge that + +releases a person from the KARMIC wheel of life and the rule of + +Satan, however you conceive your devil. As soon as you answer + +the KOAN, you are expelled from Plato's cave, and the game of + +darkness is over. The Laughing Buddha in the heart of your + +personal Lotus Blossum isn't ready to cash your chips because of + +Enlightenment until damn good and ready. The mental crisis of + +the KOAN is resolved by formulating a plausible answer that + +satisfies the curiosity without actually taking the terminal + +gaze into the brilliant Face of God. Psychoanalysts get + +plausible answers from all their patients; the trouble with + +psychoanalysis is that the entire science is nothing but a + +plausible answer to estop its advertised purpose of self- + +discovery. + + + All those posing unanswerable questions, or declaring that + +their questions can't be answered are not in the business of + +creating science, nor do they have any intention of informing + +the public; their real purpose is obscuring knowledge and + +confusing you in order that they may gain and hold their + +advantage over you. Rhetorical questions take many forms, and + +none are so beguiling as the scientific poser. Rhetoric + +manipulates automatic psychological reflexes so as to make the + +audience believe that the authority who cannot answer his own + +questions knows something that his audience doesn't know.

Children delight in playing with words to create +statements that are self-contradictory and impossible to realize; +it is a childish mind that believes unanswerable questions are +more significant than answers. When the KOAN is answered, like +drawing the Sword from the Stone, they not only lose their game, +but they also lose their faith.

Since the TAO of "phasics" turns + +everything into its opposite, you will find that everything you + +believe is self-contradictory; nevertheless, PLUS CA CHANGE and + +all that. How much of this book you will understand and believe + +depends entirely on your ability to maintain mental focus on the + +structural points of the subject so that you can hold its + +identity as I change the perspective. By the time you finish + +this book, you will realize that the entire universe is your own + +self, turned around every which way and inside out. + + + This is not a scholarly thesis; it is not the product of + +laboratory experiments, abstruse calculations, nor of library + +research. Everything you will read in this book is derived from + +observation of everyday, ordinary life. I shall introduce + +cardinal cases with commonplace observations or some commonplace + +facts and see what comes by way of some commonplace logic. As + +you follow my line of reason, you will see that your common + +sense leads to insights that are ignored and denied by + +authorized versions of truth. Now, what do you do? Do you deny + +your own senses and let authorities tell you what your life is + +all about, or do you decide for yourself the basis of your facts + +and take responsibility for making up your own mind? + +Professional authorities are convinced that the public is too + +stupid and ignorant to understand science, health, religion, and + +politics, not to mention teaching your children. The authorities + +have always condemned the Socratic dialogue as a corruption of + +youth. You won't think you are so stupid and ignorant by the + +time you finish reading this book. + + + It is just because this thesis is based on common + +experience that you can satisfy yourself of its truth. If you do + +not agree with me after checking my observations and facts + +against your own, tell me about it. You may be right; we may + +both be right from our respective points of view and frames of + +reference. If you find me mistaken, this book will have served a + +worthwhile purpose as an object lesson illustrating the ways + +that observations are susceptible to misperceptions, common + +facts are liable to be mistaken, and common sense can lead to + +common delusion. You need only look at the continual revisions + +of established scientific facts to see that the most highly + +qualified experts are just as subject to changing views as the + +rest of us --- which is why they should not be believed with + +less question than you are expected to direct at this book. (*1) + +The best advice your medical doctor will ever give you is + +"seek a second opinion"; the advice is just as wise when you + +attend doctors of philosophy. + + + During earlier years of my life while my livelihood + +depended on orthodox beliefs, I refused to give a thought to any + +of the ideas I am able to entertain now that my employer doesn't + +care what science I believe, as long as I don't bad mouth his + +politics (I work for the government, now). So do not suppose + +that I have no sympathy for the authorities; I have believed + +their doctrine for the same reasons they maintain their faith. I + +use satire only to reduce the awe of authority that stultifies + +people under oppressive doctrines. As you know, no one hates + +smokers more than a quitter --- who longs for a drag. + + + The critical word in the previous sentence is oppressive. + ---------- +As long as a doctrine is bigger than its believers, it opens + +their minds to explore the vastness of its comprehension; no + +believer is going to give up that space --- nor should anyone. + +But when its believers outgrow their doctrine, it becomes + +spiritually oppressive, and they seek a greater freedom. And so, + +you see, no doctrine is inherently true or false; its truth + +depends upon how well it fits the vital needs and the mental + +stature of the people who believe it. Try this book on for size. + +If it fits your head, give it a test run on your road of life; + +if it cramps your style or rattles your chassis, you should have + +learned by now that we have to kiss a lot of frogs before we + +find our princes, and lick a lot of muddy feet before we find a + +God that repays our belief with as much support as we give. + + + My comments on religions are not informed by scholarship + +but merely reflect generally held conceptions that outsiders + +entertain about creeds other than their own, like ethnic jokes + +express one's perspective on foreigners. Outsiders perceive + +meanings quite different from insiders. Confession, for example, + ---------- +has an entirely different meaning for Romans than for other + +people; you have to be a Catholic to experience it. Which is the + +true meaning? It depends on whether you are looking from the + +inside or the outside, doesn't it? Nevertheless, ethnic jokes + +express human identities, values, and follies more acutely than + +anthropological studies --- especially the identity, the values, + +and the follies of the teller. Some pious people may not be able + +to tolerate the respect I have for any church but theirs, nor + +can they tolerate any mention of their obvious follies. I ask + +you --- is a sense of humour and appreciation of the ludicrous a + +gift of the devil? No soul could abide in a Heaven without + +humour if hell holds all the fun. If I failed to offend anyone, + +let me know and the next edition will treat you the same as + +everyone else. + + + If you find this book intolerable, it is mainly because you + +have not been exposed to this kind of ideas before. You will be + +surprised at how inoffensive they will be the next time you have + +an encounter of this challenging kind. The initial denial, + +ridicule, and scepticism of Flying Saucer sightings gradually + +changed to belief for no reason other than the persistence of + +the reports for forty years; it doesn't matter that most of the + +reports are not true, and UFO hysteria was composed by the media + +to supply popular demand. If you haven't come here from + +Buckminster Fuller, see how his "Synergetics 1 & 2" grab you when + +you go there from here. + + + Most people expect to understand a book on one reading; a + +book baffling at first sight can't get a literary review. I + +expect many readers to appreciate the insights into their + +special interest and competence, but be lost through the pages + +referring to other kinds of knowledge. You must realize, + +however, that this book would have no reason for its existence + +if it explained hyperspace from the mathematical view, alone --- + +as all other books on this subject do. This is a synthesis of + +many disciplines and philosophies; your mind must be capable of + +fusing the concepts and languages of many arts, crafts, sports, + +and sciences into a single gestalt in order to understand the + +physical structure and manifestations of hyperspace in your + ---- +everyday life; this book is a holy scripture for the working +------------- +days of the week. Mathematics and metaphore, high philosophy and + +vulgarity, are combined in the same paragraph, if not in the + +same sentence, so that you may realize that all languages + +express the very same truths. Thus, the believers of every faith + +will find scientific substantiation of their religion in the + +structure of hyperspace, and artists will find their common + +identity with scientists in politics' strangest bed. + +Mathematics, science, art, philosophy and religion cannot be + +experienced in everyday life unless they are expressed as + +everyday ideas in everyday language. + + + This book is as paradoxical as its subject. It is clear and + +confused, profound and superficial, comic and tragic, ludicrous + +and reverent, it has no single thread of reason but spreads a + +tapestry, it is incoherent but an indivisible whole, it is fact + +and fantasy --- with more truth in the fantasy than in the fact. + +Writing it has been my KOAN; I composed it to be your KOAN. + +There is at least one epiphany for every reader, but, like a + +joke, you must be baffled to get it. This is a book for reading + +many times between reflections on life because it yields + +different meanings as you learn your living. Read it like a + +Bible that can be understood only in parts, according to your + +experience, intelligence, and wisdom --- and the number of + +children you have raised --- especially the little darlings who + +came with your second spouse. + + + Understanding hyperspace is nothing but the ability to + +comprehend plural concepts, including polar opposites, within + +the same gestalt. Not only have I written the text to reflect + +the confusion of hyperspace, but I have also composed the format + +to serve as your object lesson in comprehending multiple views + +simultaneously. A magazine style should present no difficulty to + +a generation brought up on split-screen movies, multi-media + +light shows, and studying for academic exams while watching + +television with a friendly friend of the opposite sex. After + +reading the sidenotes to get the relevance, the logic is woven + +by the continuous text. On the third run through, you may read + +the footnotes without feeling interrupted. + + + Reading this book is somewhat like listening to a symphony; + +on first hearing, it is noise. It is only after the structure + +and the details have imprinted a gestalt in one's mind that + +melodies and counterpoint can be heard as musical architecture. + +The meaning of music is the gestalt; otherwise it is only notes; + +the beautiful sensation of music is produced by experiencing the + +energy of the gestalt amplified by harmonic resonance with each + +note. Likewise, the meaning of this book is in its gestalt, a + +synthesis of all its disparate parts in a higher dimension of + +consciousness. Nevertheless, each page can also be fruitful + +without further reference; this book offers something for + +everyone at any time. + + + Once you are informed that lw=a, no further instruction is + +required for you to realize that a/l=w and a/w=l; the three + +equations express the very same structure. If you can only + +memorize equations, however, they will always seem mutually + +contradictory to you; lacking any intuitive understanding of why + +lw=a, the only proof you have of its truth is that the wallpaper + +fits the wall. As a consequence, Hitler was adequately trained + +to cut wall paper, but his groupies are unable to calculate the + +cost of deceptive packaging. + + + There is nothing in this book that is not self-evident from + +elementary equations known to everyone before entering high + +school. The only reason this book can be considered necessary + +reading is to clear your mind of the rote thinking inculcated by + +formal schooling. Formal education is determined to prohibit + +everyone from relating facts into a whole body of knowledge that + +inspires wisdom. Deprived of faculties for judgement, the public + +is unable to understand what is really being done to them; thus, + +everyone is forced to pay the professional establishment + +exhorbitant fees for simple services everyone can do for himself + +--- like filing divorce papers --- and rendered susceptible to + +believing everything one is told, like perennial children. + +Liberated women know exactly what I mean. + + + You don't learn about hyperspace so much as you grow into + ----- ---- +understanding as a consequence of mental/physical/spiritual + +evolution, like you grow into walking, talking, and sexual + +consciousness. Always remember and bear in mind that hyperspace + +extends through more than three dimensions, so you must be able + +to read construction plans easily before you can make sense of + +this book. In short, hyperspace is not difficult to understand; + +if its meaning does not develop like music after some + +rumination, comprehension is simply impossible, so don't sweat it. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "INTRO-I" + + +---------------------------------------------------------------- + + +* I am impressed that the speakers at conferences are +determined to persuade their audiences to believe, not +criticize, and the audiences are seeking something to believe +rather than a mandate to exercise their judgement. Thus, both +parties waste the opportunty to learn something --- like, maybe +they are mistaken. + + + 30 +FILENAME: INTRO-I + + + ________________________ + I I + I The Hyperspace Trilogy I + I is a universal theory. I + I________________________I + + + + "TIME TRAVEL --- The Secret Science of The UFOs " is the + +first volume of a trilogy. This First Book puts you on The Yellow + +Brick Road by way by studying some simple models illustrating how + +familiar space is converted into familiar time by increasingly + ----- ---- +fine division and increasingly accelerated velocity. Once you + +arrive in The Emerald City of hyperspace, you will learn how + +higher dimensions are defined by the familiar measurements of + +energy; i.e., frequency, phase, and amplitude. You will see how + +the familiar physical fields of force known as nuclear, + +electromagnetic, gravitic, sonic, and even life and mental + +forces, constitute a scale of successively rarified hyperspacial + +worlds manifest to our senses as pure energy. Hyperspace is + +nothing but energy, and the geometry of hyperspace is nothing but + +a mathematical plotting of the laws governing transformations of + +energy. + + + "TIME TRAVEL --- THe Secret Science of The UFOs" + +presents a graphic solution to the Unified Field Equations that + +has defied the entire scientific world for a century. Unlike + +e=mc^2, which could not be implemented without an army of the + +world's most creative engineers funded by national treasuries, + +e=mc^3 is within the economic capacity of a home workshop, + +enabling free-enterprising Yankee know-how to open a new era of + +peace and prosperity like the palmy days of Edison, Ford, Tesla, + +the Wright Brothers, Tim Leary and Hugh Hefner. To the degree + +that the experiments of Henry Moray, Thomas Townsend-Brown, + +Bruce de Palma, and Pat Flanagan are as successful as they + +claim, the first lights are already shining into the New Age. + +Professional engineers will develop this Unified Field Theory to + +technical details beyond the scope of this book --- not to + +mention the competence of this author. After giving a + +ringful of keys to several adventurers who would be kings, the rest + +of this book will speculate on the probable design and + +engineering of the Flying Saucers. Once we have some practicable + +idea of how the Saucers operate, the possibilities of who builds + --- --- +them, where they come from, and what they are doing here are + ----- ---- +reduced to a practical argument. + + + The Second Book of Hyperspace, titled "LIVING CRYSTAL --- + +The Philosopher's Stone", explains the theorems of hypergeometry, + +providing inventive explorers with a mathematical foundation to + +create new engines, sciences, and arts. The discovery of the New + +World of Hyperspace will transform our civilization more + +radically than the discovery of America. Like the early + +explorers of this world found wealth, power, and fame, the + +explorers of the New Reality on the other side of the universal + +Klein Bottle will also found their empires and fortunes --- if + +they manage to avoid the savage cannibals prowling the + +hyperspacial jungles and the jealousy of the nobility when they + +return with their finds to civilization --- you are better off + +with the savages. Success could be yours, if you are young, + +energetic, enterprising --- and if your spouse will support you + +while you get your act together. + + + The theorems of hypergeometry actually describe the + +properties of crystals, the quintessence of solid state physics. + -------- +Crystals provide the means for tapping the titanic energies of + +hyperspace for human industry. By the time you read The Second + +Book of Hyperspace, you will realize that the human body is + +actually a living crystal, the most highly evolved crystal in + +this world. Miracles are worked by holy men, such as Jesus, + +when they learn to alter the crystal parameters of their bodies. + +The Rock on which Christ built His Church is the very + ---- +Philosopher's Stone sought by alchemists throughout history; +------------------- +like the Riddle of The Sphynx, Peter is the human body. The very + ----------------------- +fact that the Philosopher King Arthur's Stone is sought indicates + +that this hyperscience was known by prehistoric cabals; they are + +probably still alive and herding the human livestock on this + +lively little planet for their own benefit more than ours. Anyone + +who trusts the shepherd when he comes bearing gifts has got to be + +some kind of sheep. + + + "KARMA --- The Birth, Life, and Death of YOUR SOUL" + +completes this trilogy. You will learn why some people are + +healthy, wealthy, and wise, while others suffer various + +deficiency diseases. Even love, marriage, and happiness are + +determined by each person's position in hyperspace, commonly + +plotted by astrologists. Just as modern science has already + +opened hyperspace for trade and commerce without knowing what + +they hath wrought, the spiritual dimensions of hyperspace are + +all described in the world's religions without anyone knowing + +what the great Teachers were really talking about. You will + +realize the meaning of your life and your eternal soul by the + +time you complete The Hyperspace Trilogy. (*1) + + + If I live long enough, the story of how I made all these + +discoveries in the ZEN martial arts will be told when I finish + +writing the first book I began, "FIERCE LOVE --- The Secret + +of Spiritual Power in The ZEN MARTIAL ARTS". + + + The Flying Saucer is a challenge to science and politics. As + +far as the millions of wonderersare concerned, however, the UFO + +phenomenon is an essentially religious excitement, the secular + +apotheosis of the Messiah. Unlike any other study, The Hyperspace + +Trilogy responds to all public concerns by explaining the + +technological, the political, and the religious mysteries + +concurrently. This book is the beginning of a literary work + +destined to be a seminal classic of the New Age, a text for + +researchers, inventors, engineers, farmers and gardeners, + +psychologists and psychiatrists, religious disciples, medical + +doctors and interminably ill patients, politicians, advertisers, + +artists, architects, athletes, science-fiction writers and + +everyone who wants to know why people are such problems, + +especially the people we love. You are not starting to read a + +book but beginning a graduate university course of studies that + +will change your perception more drastically than an O.D. ticket + +on the SugarCube Express. The Hyperspace Trilogy is the kind of + +study that enables its readers to fullfill their vocations to + +become holistic teachers needed to lead people into the New Age. + + + CLOSE THIS FILE + + OPEN FILE "INTRO-J" + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + +*1 Everyone prays that "Thy will be done", and then prays that +"My will be done".

Pawlicki I + I 843 FORT STREET I + I VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA I + I V8W 1H6 I + I CANADA I + I______________________________I + +********************** FORWARD ********************** + + + Thank you for participating in a pioneering publishing + +venture. + + + Mass communication has progressed through four major + +transformations. The first revolution separated the author from + +his audience by means of writing; the LITERATI became a secret + +society of COGNOSCENTI that used its exclusive knowledge to + +dominate the ignorant masses. Modern democracy began when movable + +type made it possible for a message to be received by everyone + +who could read. Recently, radio broadcasting countered the first + +and second revolutions by delivering messages to everyone who + +can't read; television is likely to be the MATADOR of democracy. + +The capital cost of printing plants and broadcasting studios + +limits the messengers to parties of power and wealth, whose + +messages are determined to maintain the STATUS QUO --- natcherly + +--- especially their own status plus all the more quid they can + +quo. The tragic consequence of mass communications has been the + +dissemination of tendencious knowledge to enslave the minds of + +mankind, rather than free us to experience our own ignorance + +until we learn better. A truly free press for truly free minds + +could not exist until the personal home photocopier brought + +publishing within the economic capacity of every person with a + +message and postage. As well as reducing the cost of copying to a + +few pennies per kilowatt hour, the computer completes the + +revolution of mass communications by restoring audience feedback. + +As camels and soups show, quality goes down as participation + +increases, but participation is better for the participators; + +eventually, participators support higher standards. + + + Since authors began to write, instead of speaking directly + +to their audience, ideas have flowed in one direction, only. It + +is, however, as impossible to teach without learning as it is to + +learn without teaching, which is why so little is learned from + +reading books. For the first time since the advent of writing, + +the computer makes it possible for readers to contribute to the + +discourse and transform a lecture into a dialogue, a + +conversation, a seminar, a workshop, a global town meeting. + + + Finding a publisher for my first book, How To Build A + -------------- +Flying Saucer, took nearly ten years; nearly ten more years +------------- +passed while my market grew to critical mass by word of mouth. + +Now people are reading my first book as if the ideas were as hot + +as tomorrow's news, but a whole generation has grown up to + +drinking age --- and another generation has died of cirrhotic + +livers --- since I was working out those early insights. My + +ideas develop so rapidly that I had to rewrite the manuscript + +every year until it was published. Once printed, however, the + +printing plates are as immutable as graven stone. As soon as I + +began to write my personal correspondence on computer, I + +realized that this electronic medium keeps discoveries alive and + +growing through pooling contributions in ways not feasible by + +any other means of communication. The entire industry is built + +by fielding half-baked ideas and then improving them with + +consumer feedback, as it goes along; no other industry advances + +so fast, and in no other industry do the suppliers lag behind + +the advances made by their own demanders. And thus it came to + +pass as I was speaking to the Global Sciences Congress, held at + +Denver in August, l987, that the idea came to me to offer my + +audience my current manuscripts explaining HYPERSPACE to + ---------- +everyone who would participate by also sharing their ideas on + +computer discs. + + + Ideally, a book of this nature should be transmitted over + +wires to be downloaded by Special Interest Groups on + +international networks. In the present state of the art, + +however, computers still cannot replace paper. This + +unrealistically jealous industry has not yet made files + +universally readable, like sound and film tapes, and it is still + +impractical to transmit text formats and illustrations through + +wires. Even after the computer industry gets its parameters + +together, all of us early worms will remain stuck with our + +capital investments. Therefore, I have decided to print my + +manuscripts onto discs for postal distribution to the computers + +being used now. + --- + + This enterprise will succeed only if each reader will make + +at least two copies and pass them on. Some readers may not know + +three other people with compatible computers, so it is hoped + +that readers with the most popular computer models will pass on + +to their computing friends as many copies as they feel this + +publication is worth. If anyone can make conversions to + +unpopular computers, a copy returned to me will be passed on to + +other readers out in left field. + + + This brings us to the matter of copyrights. Most people + ---------- +believe that anyone may freely copy published material in any + +numbers for any purpose as long as the copies are not sold for a + +profit (*1). If legal process were not so expensive, a lot of + +copycats would learn how very mistaken they are. Copyright + +entitles the author to assign legal permission to make copies and + +set the conditions of contract. Although I am assigning all my + +readers the right to make copies and distribute this literature + +freely, the formal copyright remains mine. Any party enterprising + +enough to reproduce these discs by the hundred for sale at a + +profit will very likely interest my attorney to offer a royalty + +contract as a more attractive alternative to a court ordered + +remedy. Any party that fails to include my byline and copyright + +notice will be taken to task for the more serious offense of + +plagiarism. +---------- + + Heckling is a part of all public speaking, and most of the + +fun. If hecklers had a fair chance to give their opinions, many + +of them would have more to say than the speakers, and some may + +have better ideas. The only way a reader can add his two bits + +worth to a discourse is by scribbling in the margins of public + +library books. Anything that can be done will be done, so + +hecklers will always be with us, and so will graffiti, along + +with carefully considered letters to editors. Since it is so + +easy to add and subtract opinions to a magnetic publication, a + +lot of opinionated readers are going to do it. The main purpose + +of this venture is to turn audience feedback into an advantage + +--- for everyone --- by encouraging constructive criticism + +guided by rules for fair comment within the laws governing + +copyright and public utterance. + + + By the nature of this medium, this publication is going to + +be shared by an unknown number of readers. Those who want to + +give us the benefit of their superior information are asked to + +follow these rules. On those matters that readers can wait for, + +please append your comments to the end of the file. If you feel + +that your information needs to be interjected, then mark the + +beginning and end of your contribution with lines or stars. + +Please include your name and the date so that we know whom to + +credit. If you find mistakes of fact, your immediate correction + +is eagerly asked for. Critics looking for an argument improve + +their chances by including their addresses. If you are so + +offended by some statements that you are compelled to make + +deletions, please mark your censorship with a notice of the + +amount of text you deleted, in numbers of lines or bytes, and + +include your name and date to prove the courage of your + +convictions. Anyone who wants to retain his copyright on + +contributions is advised to include notice of their legal claim + +so that no one will assume that all commentaries and + +contributions are in the public domain. Expect disputes; + +democracy is not for weak stomachs and faint hearts. + + + Depending on the number of readers who distribute more + +copies, and the number of contributions added --- not to mention + +subtracted --- my original text will be unrecognizable by the + +time this print passes through a dozen recopies. There is no way + +to know whether all contributors have marked the changes they + +make. Neither is there any way to know whether they have their + +facts correct, unless they cite their sources for reference. + +Furthermore, these discs are communicated person-to-person + +through private, first-class mail, making the message into a + +conversation between acquaintances rather than a publication to + +strangers; it is permissible to say things in private and + +personal mail that is regarded as unethical, if not illegal, in + +public utterance. Therefore, all readers must always remember + +and bear in mind that the copy they are reading is a + +BOUILLABAISSE stirred by many cooks, not a FILET MIGNON SAUTEED + +by a chef. Unless you receive a copy that you can certify as + +unaltered from the original, do not believe anything that + +offends your common sense and don't hold the original author or + +signed contributors responsible for statements and/or context + +that may have been altered by hecklers who prefer to remain + +anonymous (*2). My own editors have altered my manuscripts until + +I could hardly recognize my publications as my own compositions + +--- usually for the better. If some party suffers personal + +injury from this special interest group disc, everyone who + +receives it becomes suspect. This is an utterly novel kind of + +case for the courts to rule on, not quite so much privileged + +privacy as a closed computer conference but still a one-on-one + +private correspondence. I dare say that honest mistakes will be + +excused with a pointed finger, but deliberate malice producing + +suffering to an identifiable person, when proven unjustified in + +these litiginous times, will be liable to legal penalties. We may + +protect ourselves from slanderous or obscene remarks by scanning + +each disc immediately before mailing, to check that no one else + +has run the copy and added comments disgraceful to polite + +company. + + + I have enough discoveries in my head to keep me writing + +full time for ten years --- I should live so long. In the + +likelihood that my insurance is vastly underrated, I am + +curtailing my research and graphic design in order to put as + +much of my time as I can into getting my ideas written. + +Unfortunately, the charter members of this publishing revolution + +will receive bare bones of text, a dearth shared by everyone who + +buys Version 1.0 of any program. The economy of electronic + +publication, however, enables me to update my text whenever I + +get a break, add animated illustrations in colour, and enliven + +the text with creative layouts in future editions. Most + +important of all, as copies eventually find their way back to me + +with accumulated reader input, new editions can be issued with + +the latest and most extensive information --- better than + +anything I can do. This publication can be considered as a book + +written by its best qualified readers. In order to receive + +updates and new books, all readers will have to send me their + +names and addresses, regardless whence they received their + +copies. Please bear in mind that my resources are exceedingly + +limited, and expect to wait like a Christian for me to follow up + +in my spare time. I expect this enterprise to be taken over by + +more resourceful enthusiasts. + + + The definitive version of this disc book will be written on + +an APPLE IIc, in ASCII files; the animated illustrations will be + +rendered with DAZZLE DRAW and FANTAVISION --- if I can't find + +more practical graphics programs. I invested in the APPLE system + +because I believed all the press reports that the computer field + +has more APPLE trees planted than anything else. I am deceived; + +MS-DOS is the most widely used operating system on this scene. + +This original version, however, is written on a KAYPRO II + +operated by CP/M 2.2 in WORDSTAR 3.3. files. It will take me + +time to convert WORDSTAR files to ASCII, and then convert both + +to MS-DOS. The few graphics included on this disc are drawn with + +keyboard characters. Since the ASCII code is standardized only + +for alphanumeric characters, computers using different keyboard + +codes will produce surprising characters --- the trouble is not + +in the disk or your computer. + + + As long as computers remain inconvenient to read in bed or + +on public transportation, I shall concurrently try to find + +publishers for paper versions of my disc books. These discs hold + +the beginning of a 75,000 word paper book, heavily illustrated + +with animated illustrations included on disc, under the title + +TIME TRAVEL --- The Secret Science of The UFOs. Availing myself +----------- ------------------------------ +of the impermanent and quasiconversational nature of magnetic + +correspondence, I have included many speculations and tangents + +on these disks to stimulate response; these unessential essays + +will be deleted from the paper version. The heaviest reading is + +the Second Chapter; once you establish the theoretical + +foundation laid in my repetitive manner of logic, the rest of + +the book is freeway, much like the First Chapter. For the first + +time, the theory and engineering of time travel are explained in + +sufficient practical detail for young physicists to begin + +constructing their own Philadelphia Experiments in their home + +workshops; at least one researcher I know is doing it already, + +in California. Let me know whether you are willing to buy + +TIME TRAVEL --- The Secret Science of The UFOs at a prepublication +----------- ------------------------------ +price of $10 or a postpublication price of $16. Send no money. I + +only want to know whether there is a market for a paper book + +before I invest more than I can afford to print it. I apologize + +for my inability to acknowlege subscribers to this paper book by + +individual letters, as they are received; at a dollar a letter, + +the cost of mailing is prohibitive. Subscribers will be notified + +individually to write their cheques when the response is + +sufficient to underwrite publication. In the meantime, enquiries + +from royalty publishers are welcome. Zees is a bootstrap + +production, Dollink --- my apologies to Zsa Zsa. + + + END OF FORWARD + + +*1 This is the belief taken by the Government of the United +States, especially its Public Broadcasting System.

The magazine publishers do +not assign its readers the right to make copies of their text to +give to their friends, much less sell. + + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + +*2 The most heavily edited and censored book in the world is +the Holy Bible, yet its readers are convinced every copy is the +original and every last Word of God. Evidently, God has +afterthoughts --- The New Testament. The Holy Koran is an even +later Word of the very same God compiled from the very same +orginal Scriptures. And don't forget the equally Holy Book of +Mormon. I can relate to Him; I am also compelled to rewrite my +original words innumerable times as I get my act together. + + I believe the Bible; it is the publishers I question. I +have no doubt that God inspires all His chosen publishers, but I +wonder whether He chose every publisher; after all, the Bible is +in public domain. If God inspired the American Constitution, in +which I believe more than the Bible, He is the Source of the +First Amendment --- entitling Larry Flint to turn a dollar in +the pre-eminently profitable religious market. It isn't belief +in the Bible that fomented the most vicious wars, but belief in +the infallible veracity of the publishers. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

His teacher explained that the word meant +"giants" when describing the "sons of the deities" who married the +daughters of Man, although the literal Hebrew translation of Nefilim was +"those who were cast down." Sitchin never accepted the "giants" +explanation, and his curiosity about the Nefilim was the impetus for "The +12th Planet." + +The book begins with a short anthropological history of Man, starting +with Australopithecus some two million years ago. Six hundred thousand +years later came the Neanderthal, who, according to Sitchin, used the +same tools as his more primitive ancestors (although the latest findings +indicate Neanderthals were more sophisticated than Sitchin describes). +Then, a mere 35,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens appears. The author +quotes a Dr. T. Dobzhansk, "Modern Man has many fossil collateral +relatives, but no progenitors; the derivation of Homo Sapiens then +becomes a puzzle." + +As far as current archaeological knowledge can reveal, the first true +civilization arose in Mesopotamian Sumer, located in present-day Iraq, +at least 6,000 years ago. Sumerian culture exploded onto the scene +virtually overnight, the cradle of human civilization. + +A description of Sumer is a list of "firsts" for the human race. Among +these "firsts" are: the first schools, the first historian, the first method +of writing, the first library, the first doctors and pharmacopoeia, the first +agriculture (and first "farmers' almanac"), the first musical notation, the +first bicameral legislature, and the first taxes. The Sumerian legal code +(also a first) included protection for divorced women and price controls +on foodstuffs and wagon rentals. Their religion influenced all that +followed, with elements of the Sumerian creation epic filtered through +the ages into the Old Testament (the garden of Eden, the evil serpent, +the great flood, etc.). + +But Sitchin's analysis of Sumerian astronomy and cosmology is of most +interest. It is Sitchin's belief that astronomical knowledge actually +declined from the Sumerian period, with much of the Sumerian +astronomical knowledge only rediscovered during the Copernican +revolution. + +To support this thesis, the author describes the astronomical +knowledge of the ancient Greeks, who came more than 3,000 years after +the Sumerians. It is historical fact that the Greeks not only understood +that the Earth was a sphere, but had calculated its size to amazing +accuracy. The Greek, Hipparchus, knew of the heliocentric (sun-centered) +astronomical system. Hipparchus was also aware of the phenomenon +known as precession of the equinoxes, a cyclical wobble of Earth's axis +that takes 2,160 years to complete. To understand this phenomenon, +one would assume that Hipparchus had to draw upon astronomical data +at least that old. Two hundred years before Hipparchus, Eudoxes of +Cnidus designed a celestial sphere representing the constellations and +attributed their zodiacal designations to "men of yore." + +Sitchin writes, "Were the early Greek astronomers living in Asia Minor +better informed than their successors because they could draw on +Mesopotamian sources?" Sumerian astronomy and the required +mathematics used to describe and predict celestial events were +remarkably advanced. They utilized a unit of measure called dub, which +has been translated to mean both the 360 degree circumference of the +Earth, and the "arch of the heavens." Not only were the Sumerians +aware of the spherical nature of the world, they used the concepts of +the equator, poles, and lines of longitude and latitude. Also, the +apparent retrograde motions of the planets (due to differences in orbital +radii) were understood 6,000 years before renaissance-era astronomers +would solved the puzzle. An accurate Sumerian calendar dating back to +4400bc acknowledged the precessional shift from 2,160 years before. + +The Sumerians used a 12-based numbering system which still influences +numbering today; numbers 1 -12 have individual names, while +subsequent numbers are contractions. The number 12 was very +significant to the Sumerians, representing the number of their principle +gods which were synonymous with the planets known to them (they +included the Moon and the Sun in their count). Does this mean that the +Sumerians were aware of all of the planets known to us today, or was it +just coincidence? + +Sitchin describes numerous cylinder seals showing what he interprets +to be schematic diagrams of the solar system. These diagrams often +show a planet larger than Earth between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. +These diagrams, along with Sumerian, Babylonian, and Akkadian +creation epics lead Sitchin to believe that a collision of planets occurred +early in the history of the solar system. Certain aspects of these ancient +texts can support Sitchin's theory, for instance: the "gods" (planets) +have "destinies" (orbits) and "cast out their nets" (gravitational +attraction). + +According to Sitchin, the 12th planet, Marduk, while making its +approach to the sun (in a highly elliptical orbit) interacted with the other +planets of the solar system, flinging Pluto into its current peculiar orbit. +Marduk, or one of its satellites, then collided with a planet called Tiamat, +which occupied an orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The Sumerians +described it like this: + + Tiamat and Marduk, the wisest of gods, + Advanced against one another; + They pressed on to single combat, + They approached for battle.. + After he had slain Tiamat, the leader, + Her band was broken, her host broken up, + The gods, her helpers who marched at her side, + Trembling with fear, + Turned their backs about so as to save + and preserve their lives. + +Sitchin interprets "the host, the helper gods" to be the moons of Tiamat +which "turned their backs" or changed orbital motions. He suggests +that the "shattered band" became the comets and the asteroid belt. But +of most importance, the bulk of Tiamat's debris fell into a new orbit and +would become Earth. + +The Hebrew texts mirror the Sumerian in several respects. In Genesis, +the Lord hovers over Tehom (the Hebrew version of Tiamat), and the +lightning of the Lord (Marduk in Babylonian) lit the darkness as it hit +and split Tiamat, creating the Earth and the "hammered bracelet" Raika +(the asteroid belt). In the Akkadian version, Marduk creates the +"hammered bracelet" by stretching out Tiamat's "lower part" into a great +circle. + +Such is the Sumerian story of creation. Since these events presumably +occurred before the dawn of Man, how do the Sumerians come by this +account? Sitchin believes it was the Nefilim who told the story to the +Sumerians. + +According to Sitchin's theory, the Nefilim were engaged in mining +operations on the Earth. To support this, he presents evidence of +mining activity in Africa (through carbon-14 dating) 100,000 years ago. +To further support this notion, Sitchin presents a Sumerian carving +showing the god of mining, Ea, emerging from a mine pit. Lightning-type +rays are emitted by the god, servants are seen holding up shields +between themselves and Ea. Texts refer to "blue stones that cause ill," +which Sitchin interprets as radioactive cobalt. The texts refer to the +underworld as Kur.Nu.Gi.A, "the land where gods who work in deep +tunnels pile up the ores." Ultimately, the Nefilim miners mutinied against +their masters, declaring: + + Excessive toil has killed us, + Our work is heavy, the distress much.. + While the Birth Goddess is present, + Let her create a Primitive Worker, + Let him bear the yoke.. + Let him carry the toil of the gods! + +Marduk responds: + + I will produce a lowly primitive; + Man shall be his name, + I shall create a Primitive Worker; + He will be charged in the service of the gods + that they might have their ease. + +It is Sitchin's theory that a mutiny of the Nefilim led to the creation of +Mankind. The Nefilim genetically altered a hominid with some of their +own DNA, producing a useful hybrid -- Man. To support this, he quotes +a Babylonian text: + + Let one god be bled.. + From his flesh and blood, + Let Ninti mix the clay.. + The new-borne's' fate thou shalt pronounce; + Ninti would fix upon it the image of the gods; + And what it will be is Man. + +The god chosen to provide the blood was named TE.E.MA, which +translates to "that which houses that which binds the memory," which +could be interpreted as an allegorical, pre-technological description of +"genes." Furthermore, the Akkadian term for clay is tit in Hebrew, which +is synonymous with bos (mud) and shares a linguistic root with bisa +(marsh) and, interestingly, besa (egg). + + To further support the notion that Mankind was created to serve the +Nefilim, Sitchin submits that the Hebrew term used to describe Man's +relationship to the gods was not "worship," but avod (work). Ancient +Man did not worship the Nefilim, he worked for them. + +Sitchin's theory could explain the rapid rise and technical prowess of +Sumerian civilization. But what became of the Nefilim? The author +suggests that they either became aware of, or were the cause of, the +coming flood. The Nefilim blasted off, leaving the Earth to Man, or at +least the few that would survive the coming catastrophe. All evidence +of the Nefilim's existence was buried under tons of mud. + +While The 12th Planet does present some interesting data, there are +some weaknesses in Sitchin's theory. For instance, he believes the +Nefilim came from Marduk, the 12th planet. One would have to wonder +how life could have evolved on a planet with an orbit that took it far +beyond the orbit of Pluto. + +Sitchin also describes Nefilim space technology with a decidedly +Apollo-era slant (the book was written in 1976). He produces evidence +for the idea that the Nefilim used LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) style +landers, and that they also "splashed-down" in the Indian Ocean. He +even goes so far as to suggest that the reason the Nefilim chose +Mesopotamia for their colony was the availability of fossil fuels. If the +Nefilim came from Marduk, a planet presumably locked in a permanent +deep-freeze, they would probably have had much more efficient means +of energy generation than burning oil. + +Sitchin also makes many unqualified declarations regarding the goings- +on in ancient Sumer. To be objective when dealing with subject matter +as speculative as this, he should have incorporated terms like "could, +might" and "possibly" rather than making unqualified statements of +fact. + +That being said, Sitchin does present a mystery; how could the +Sumerians have so rapidly achieved such a high level of civilization with +no predecessors to draw on? That they received instruction from alien +beings which they regarded as gods is no more implausible than any +other explanation. + + +This article originally appeared in the October, 1991, edition of HUFON +REPORT. + +End of File + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The +experiencer provides data in return for assistance in +understanding what has happened to the experiencer. This +contract exists whether or not it is clearly or openly stated. +With this implied contract comes a responsibility on the part +of the investigator, a responsibility for whatever happens to +the experiencer as the direct or indirect result of what occurs +during this relationship. It is unclear how many investigators +understand this fact, appreciate the ramifications of it, or +have the background and training to meet that responsibility. +There is not much chance that this situation will change in +the near future. There is little incentive to adapt or change +techniques, to admit the possibility of error, or to expand the +conceptualization of the phenomenon. For the well-being of +the population that has these experiences, the present +situation is potentially dangerous. The abduction community +must immediately begin to begin to study scientifically the +safest and most effective ways to meet this responsibility. + +Introduction +The study of UFO abductions differs markedly from the +study of CE-1, CE-2 and CE-3 cases in one important +respect. The abduction experience has acquired a sense of +urgency, on the basis of the psychological after-effects of +the experiencer -- the sense of victimization, helplessness, +isolation, disbelief and shattering of world-view. As a result +of this emphasis, the study of what some call "the abduction +experience," "experienced anomalous trauma," or +"anomalous experience," has evolved into a curious hybrid +of scientific research and psychotherapy. + +The raison d'être of the investigator is the finding of proof, +whether by the documentation of cases (including hypnotic +regressions), the determining of correlations and patterns +across cases, the analyzing of implants or the tracking down +of medical records for missing pregnancies. Yet an +experiencer who seeks out an investigator interested in +abductions is not coming primarily out of a sense of public or +scientific duty. Rather, experiencers are seeking, +sometimes desperately, to settle the turmoil within; they are +seeking someone who will listen to them, will believe them, +and will help them make sense of it all. + +The Contract +Since the primary motivation of the experiencer is to seek +help, by developing a relationship the investigator implicitly +enters into a contract with the experiencer. The terms of the +contract are as follows. The experiencer provides the data, +while the investigator undertakes to provide the expected +help. + +Put another way, by working with experiencers, the +investigator implicitly accepts responsibility for assisting +them, not just with remembering the experiences, but with +explaining them, dealing with their emotional effects, and +integrating these experiences into their lives. To assume +otherwise -- that the investigator's role is limited to study and +documentation -- is naive. One experiencer compared such +an attitude on the part of the investigator to the behavior of a +medical doctor who, faced with a patient with a broken arm, +provides no treatment but simply asks the patient to +describe in detail how the arm was broken. + +To be sure, many investigators do some kind of counselling, +individually and/or through operating support groups; some +investigators do refer experiencers to qualified therapists +when it is obvious they are in need of professional help. +Counselling and support groups are really therapeutic +interventions, and arguments have been made that this kind +of work is properly left to professional therapists. The +scarcity of mental-health professionals who are willing to +work in this field makes this a moot point at present, so +investigators have historically been forced to take on this +responsibility to fill the void. + +One Problem in Fulfilling the Investigator's Side of the Contract +Providing support and guidance to experiencers is a task +that is neither simple nor easy. One important reason why +this is so is that we are not sure what we are dealing with in +the "abduction experience." Most of us at this conference +would likely be prepared to agree that the abduction +experience is a legitimate experience of some kind -- that is, +it is not a hallucination or delusion or other pathological +process. + +What is not generally agreed on is the nature of the +experience. Each interpretation -- whether it is the +"Intruders" hypothesis favoured by Budd Hopkins and David +Jacobs; the "Magonia" idea of Jacques Vallee; the "Imaginal +realm" of Ken Ring; or others -- each one implies something +fundamentally different about the nature of the experience. +To illustrate the ethical dilemma in providing help to +experiencers, this paper will compare and contrast the +Intruders and Imaginal hypotheses. + +Intruders vs. Imaginal as Models for Helping +The well-known Intruders premise casts experiencers in the +role of victims, helpless in the face of powerful entities +perpetrating indignities upon them and their families. The +Intruders come when they want and do what they want, and +there is nothing the victim can do about it. + +By contrast, the Imaginal hypothesis suggests that +abductions comprise a combination of physical experiences +and symbolic communications between our reality and an +"imaginal realm." The term "imaginal" refers to something +quite different than the more common term "imaginary." +"Imaginary" refers to fictions that are made up through +creative invention and fantasy. By contrast, the imaginal +realm is "...ontologically real; it is also a world that has form, +dimensions, and, most important for us, persons." The +imaginal realm can be perceived only in altered states of +consciousness that destabilize ordinary perceptual +modalities. Ring suggests that "lacking the framework and +terminology of the third realm...[abductees] may easily and +naturally attempt to assimilate these encounters to physical +reality -- a process that is surely abetted by the publicity +given to UFO investigators." According to this premise, +abduction experiences share something fundamental in +common with near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, +and folkloric traditions of fairies, elves and demons.(1) + +Both the Imaginal and the Intruders interpretations validate +the individual and his or her story; both assert that there is +an objective reality to the experience, that it is non- +pathological and not a sign of mental illness or imbalance; +and that it is not a rare, isolated event --- it occurs to many +people in all walks of life. + +Yet the two interpretations differ radically in their +implications, and in their potential to help the experiencer. +In the Intruders scenario, the experiencer is a helpless +victim, vulnerable to be taken and used at any time, with +little defense or recourse. One's memories of the +experience cannot be trusted, because a good feeling or +positive experience is likely to be the result of manipulation +by the aliens. Body, mind, emotions -- of self and of loved +ones -- all are vulnerable to manipulation by the Intruders. +Counselling along the lines of this model provides some +explanation where before there was none, but what goes +with the explanation is a future fraught with helplessness +and fear. + +The Imaginal approach suggests that the key to +understanding the meaning of the experience lies in +exploring the interaction between what is experienced +directly in the uncharted realm of the imaginal, and what +interpretations (drawn from culture, biography and +personality) are made of these experiences. Whereas the +Intruder scenario predetermines the meaning of the +experience (i.e., abductee as victim), the Imaginal model +provides considerable freedom for the interpretations of both +experiencer and investigator to develop. + +Experiencers can and often do find themselves leaving +behind the role of victim and experiencing positive personal +transformations. Keith Thompson comments on the +significance of this opportunity in his book Angels and Aliens +(2): + +...Over time, many [abductees] come to see that on the +other side of the frustrations of life in the margins lies a +perception available to those willing to enter it: that not +being able to classify oneself is also a freedom from +having to cling to a single identity. Willingly embrace +the marginal, liminal, twilight realms of being, the +domain of uncertainty and not-knowing, can make +possible new insights, new ways of "constructing +reality." In this sense, the UFO encounter experience +prods us to take apart easy ideas about the supposedly +interminable gulf between mind and matter, spirit and +body, masculine and feminine, nature and culture, and +other familiar dichotomies. + +If we knew that one or the other (or neither) of these models +was correct, we would have a justification for counselling +people on that basis. But we have no conclusive scientific +proof for either of these hypotheses. There are intriguing +aspects to the arguments of both camps, but neither one +has produced the kind of compelling argument that has +persuaded the majority of people in Ufology, let alone the +scientific community or the general public. Nor does the +field have a body of scientifically collected, documented and +replicable evidence that a physician or licensed +psychotherapist could present to a group of peers as +justification for using one particular model over another for +counselling and therapy . Collections of case studies and +dramatic hypnotic regressions, while indispensable in the +early stages of any scientific endeavour, do not constitute +proof. + +Testimonials from experiencers about how investigators +from one camp or another helped them are of limited value +in deciding on a model for counselling. It stands to reason +that an experiencer given a belief system and a community +that shared this belief -- i.e. given a new consensus reality -- +will fare better than an experiencer who is still isolated and +confused. So the fact that some experiencers who have +been counselled through one or the other model feel better +than he or she did before meeting the investigator tells us +nothing about (a) whether this is the best method of helping, +let alone about (b) whether the model is an accurate +interpretation of the phenomenon. + +In practice, an experiencer is often deeply committed to the +particular interpretation he or she developed during the +investigation. Experiencers sometimes see the presentation +of alternate interpretations of their experiences as +threatening. (For instance, at a networking conference in +Boston in 1991, a social anthropologist on the panel +mentioned that a form of abduction experience is studied in +the Catholic tradition under the name "demonology." An +experiencer in the audience took this statement literally, and +became angry at the implied assertion that abductees were +really being possessed by demons.) + +There are few if any scientific studies assessing the benefit +and harm of any single approach. Even worse, there are no +comparative studies of different interventions -- for instance, +the therapeutic outcome of using an Imaginal model vs. an +Intruders model. + +To review, I am suggesting the following: +1. The abduction investigator is implicitly responsible for the +effect of his investigation on the experiencer -- how the +experiencer comes to understand the experience, and the +nature of the psychological effects of this new +understanding. Herein lies a tremendous responsibility. It +involves reshaping the world-view of another person, and it +has the potential to affect all aspects of someone's life. +2. There is no consensus about the nature of the +experience. Proposed theories differ radically in nature, and +in their implications for the coping process. +3. There are no comparisons of interventions based on the +different theories to determine the one that will be most +beneficial for the experiencer. In fact, we have little +scientific evidence at all to indicate that what we are doing is +either safe or effective. + + Standards and Practices +In time, study of the abduction experience will (it is hoped) +provide insight into the issues raised above. Ethical study of +the abduction experience will do so according to practices +that do not put the welfare of the experiencer at risk. + +Standards and practices are desperately needed to protect +the welfare of experiencers and provide guidance for both +investigators and therapists. These standards and practices +should cover two areas. The first area, investigative +protocol and technique, was discussed earlier in this +conference (in my paper "Methodological Problems in +Abduction Work to Date"; I will not repeat those points here). +The second area, the focus of this paper, is "how one cares +for the experiencer." + +Research to determine the kind of intervention that is most +safe and effective for experiencers is long overdue. This +can be done in parallel with scientific investigation of the +abduction experience, if appropriate techniques are +followed. Developing the necessary procedures will require +expertise not only from ufologists, but also from the following +interested parties: +* Experimental psychologists and medical ethicists, who are +familiar with the ethical problems and practical +complexities of research programs involving humans; +* Psychotherapists who are trained in counselling and +treatment in both one-to-one and group settings; +* Experiencers who can provide valuable insight and +guidance, and have the right to be active participants in +the development of caring models; +* A diverse group of experts to bring an eclectic +understanding to the phenomenon. For instance, +sociologists, folklorists, and anthropologists have all studied +the abduction experience and have important contributions +to make, not only to the understanding of ufologists, but also +to the understanding of each experiencer. + +Some relatively simple changes in investigative procedure +should be made in the meantime. +1. The investigator should make his or her responsibilities +clear, including the nature of the services he can provide +(including such support services as psychotherapy and +counselling that may be part of the "team") and those he or +she cannot or will not provide. The qualifications of those +on the investigative team should be made known to the +experiencer. The experiencer must express clearly his or +her own needs and expectations, and the investigator should +facilitate this process. There should be a clear agreement +between experiencer and investigator before any work +begins. Confidentiality of data should be discussed and +agree upon during this stage. +2. A screening procedure to determine the most important +needs of the experiencer is next in importance. Specifically, +since the existence of a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder-like +syndrome among abductees has already been documented, +it would be irresponsible if the investigator did not routinely +screen for this and other conditions whose presence might +dictate that therapeutic intervention should precede +investigation. +3. Providing support, guidance and counselling to +experiencers should be an integral part of the investigation +process. That is, the process should be made to serve +experiencers as well as investigators. What kind of support +is given, and what are the qualifications and training needed +for those who provide the support, continue to be open +questions, and the community should move quickly to +address them. +4. An important part of this responsibility is education. At +some point during the abductee's relationship with the +investigator, the former has the right to be informed fully on +all views of the abduction experience, whether or not the +investigator agrees with them. + +Peer Review, and Why We Are Unlikely to See It +A body of standards and practices is of very limited value +without a system of self-regulation through peer review. +This peer review system must have the power to enforce +these standards, and this power must come from the +investigators themselves. Investigators must relinquish +some of their independence to this system. + +It appears that there is little incentive for most people in this +field to submit to such quality control and constructive +criticism. Most investigators do their work voluntarily, on +their own time, without compensation. Some are attached +to particular points of view or investigative practices. An +individual investigator would have little to gain by having a +peer review panel tell him what he can and cannot do in his +work (for instance, that the result of hundreds of hours of +research is methodologically flawed and unsuitable for +publication). + +Under the present conditions, it seems unlikely that +abduction investigators will accept common standards and +practices and submit to their enforcement. However, +circumstances might change to provide more incentive to do +so. + +Motivation for Change: A Cautionary Tale +A physician is told to expect, at least once in his or her +career, to be the target of a malpractice suit. This is likely +to happen no matter how careful, how conscientious, how +well-informed, and how skillful the physician is. Some cases +go sour, and a small proportion of clients will complain. +When such a suit is brought, the physician's management of +the case is scrutinized by a panel of his peers. The decision +is based not on the outcome of the case, but on whether the +physician's management of the case was within the +accepted standards of practice of the community. + +It is likely that an abduction investigator, sooner or later, will +face the following, worst-case scenario: During or after an +investigation, an abductee suffers an emotional breakdown, +perhaps even commits suicide. A member of the family, +who is not an experiencer and who is not sympathetic to the +idea of abductions as legitimate experiences, feels, rightly or +wrongly, that the intervention of the investigator is in some +way responsible for the breakdown. + +Such an angry relative might then bring a civil suit against +the investigator and others involved in the study of the case, +claiming negligence. Negligence involves the violation of +what the court might find to be the duty of care owed by the +investigator to the experiencer. If the court did find that such +a duty of care exists, then the following question would be +asked: Did the person who owed that duty (the investigator) +conduct himself or herself to the standard of care as +required of him or her by professional colleagues? If there +are no professional colleagues and if no such professional +standards exist, then did the investigator show the standards +a reasonable person would expect? If the answer to this +question is "no," then the court could find the investigator +negligent, and thereby responsible for damages caused by +such negligence. + +In this scenario, the specific charge would be that the +investigator ought to have known the abductee was subject +to great emotional strain because of the experience. +Through the investigation, he or she had opened a +"Pandora's box" without knowing how to close it or control it, +thus putting the experiencer at risk. + +By creating (and adhering to) a set of standards, the +abduction community establishes a code of conduct, a code +that a court could consider because a large group of +professionals had been concerned enough to examine the +question. The court would, however, not be obliged to +accept these standards. + +This scenario also highlights the potential importance of a +psychological screen to determine safety for investigation. +Since emotional trauma (including PTSD-like syndromes) as +a result of abduction experiences has been well-described in +the UFO literature, the failure to perform some sort of screen +would be difficult to justify, unless the Ufology community +takes the trouble beforehand to study the problem and +determine whether or not it is practically needed. + +Such a lawsuit, with its novel and scandalous twist, would be +irresistible to the media. The issue of standards and +practices might move from the pages of Ufology journals +onto the columns of daily newspapers and tabloid TV. + +The outcome of such a situation would be disastrous for all +concerned. Experiencers would find their isolation and +social stigmatization intensified. Investigators and therapists +would have to deal with a loss of credibility (at best) or +hostility and social censure (at worst). (Those who +subscribe to the idea that the Government is involved in a +"UFO cover-up" can appreciate the potential here for +discrediting Ufology). + +In this worst-case scenario, the abduction investigation +community would find itself under very close scrutiny. The +community will fare poorly under such scrutiny unless it +faces the issues discussed above. + +This scenario remains a possibility in any field that tries to +offer help to individuals. Health care professions attempt to +protect both practitioners and clients from this type of +tragedy by the adoption of a common set of standards and +practices and the creation of a system of self-policing and +enforcement. It is past due for abduction investigators to do +the same. + +Conclusion + +He who breaks a thing to see what it is has left the path of +wisdom. + J.R.R. Tolkien + +The debate over whether abductions represent invasion by +Intruders or Imaginal images -- or guidance of humanity by +Space Brothers -- is not an academic one. Each time a new +abductee surfaces -- confused, isolated, the person's +consensus reality shattered -- he or she reaches out to be +helped and presents the investigator or therapist with the +dilemma of how best to help. How should the abductee +come to understand and deal with the experience? Which +model is most helpful? Which model is closest to the truth? + +These are the immediate questions that face the Ufology +community. For better or worse, abduction investigators +have by default found themselves filling the roles of +counsellor and therapist on behalf of those whom they would +study. There is little hard data to guide the investigator, +though fortunately there is a growing community of +concerned mental health professionals willing to lend their +time and expertise to the task. + +Curiosity, good intentions and compassion for experiencers +do not replace practices based on scientific knowledge, +ethical reasoning, and appropriate training and experience. +Those who choose to investigate abductions are also +accepting the responsibility of guiding the experiencers to a +new integration and understanding. It might be argued that +investigators who do not fulfill this responsibility are, in +effect, subjecting experiencers to a second round of +violation, with only the procedures being different. + + References + +1.

Some out-of-this-world stories of alien +abductions +04/04/93 +THE BALTIMORE SUN + +The nightmares wouldn't stop -- the sudden, bizarre, unsettling +nightmares. They were always the same; they seemed almost real: +Lea was sitting in a booth in a small, empty room with gray +walls. A monotonic voice behind her said: "Don't move, or you might +be hurt." +She felt paralyzed. She heard clicking noises, like an X-ray +machine. Suddenly she was lying on a table. A bright light shone in +her eyes. She sensed people moving around, examining her. +Then she was sitting up, facing a short creature so hideous +she could not look at its face. From a box the strange being +removed a shiny needle. At the tip was a silver marble. The +creature moved closer toward Lea. +At that point Lea would jerk awake in her bed, terrified and +drenched with sweat. Her screams would awaken her parents. But her +mother, Lea recalls, would always admonish her: "It's just a +nightmare. Everybody has them. You shouldn't watch all that scary +stuff on TV." +Lea now believes it wasn't just a nightmare. She believes it +was real. She is one of the people whose stories you might expect +to see in a supermarket tabloid under the heading "Humans Who +Believe They've Been Abducted by Aliens." +Lea is 25, lives in Prince George's County, works at a bank +and is engaged to be married. She is thin and has blue eyes. She +is, in her words, average-looking and average in every way. Knowing +that most people react with scorn and ridicule at the mention of +UFOs and extraterrestrial life, she asked that her last name not +appear in this story. +"I used to think I belonged in a mental institution, to be +honest with you," she says. "But I don't think anymore that I'm +crazy. I go to school. I work full time. I pay my bills like +anybody else. . . . I think other people think I'm crazy." +The subject of abductions by space aliens is so far-out, so +utterly fantastic that most people, even with their wildest +imaginations, cannot begin to fathom it. Many will not take it +seriously. It is unbelievable, unthinkable. +The subject is also deeply disturbing. These are not pleasant +stories of people out raking leaves suddenly beamed into a UFO, +subjected to a little cosmos comedy and sent back to their yards +chuckling. +These are chilling accounts of people who say they've been +kidnapped, confined in spaceship examination rooms, probed, prodded +and examined by aliens who seem primarily interested in sexually +related activities. Their stories more resemble reports of rape +than they do a heartwarming visit by "E.T." +Around these alien abduction stories, an industry has been +launched. It soars far beyond the tabloids. There are best-selling +books, popular films and prime-time television shows. Mental-health +professionals gathered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology +last summer for a conference on abductions. In Maryland and across +the country have blossomed support groups, where people who believe +they've been abducted can share their stories -- away from the ears +of those who might mock, exploit or be titillated by their anguish. +And, of course, there are the scientists -- from the +internationally known astronomer Carl Sagan to a Navy physicist +from Maryland -- and a plethora of researchers, lining up on either +side of the highly charged issue. +What's really happening? No one knows for sure. But one thing +is clear: Something has shattered Lea's and others' calm, secure +existence on planet Earth. Whether the rest of us accept or reject +their stories is irrelevant. We cannot assuage their fear: It is +palpable. The torment is real. +Lea's began while she was in the fourth grade. She remembers +clearly: +She was outside her apartment in Prince George's County +playing with her sister and other children. It was dusk. They heard +a hum, or a buzz, like a swarm of bees. They saw a disklike object +-- wingless, silver-gray, a row of lights along the edge -- creep +at treetop level over the apartment complex. It hovered above a +parking lot between buildings, and then drifted away. +Lea and her sister ran inside to tell their parents. The girls +even drew pictures. +"My father wanted to call somebody," Lea says. "But my mother +said no, we'd made it up. But all of us saw it. We talked about it +for days at school." +Shortly after that, Lea says, the recurring nightmare began. +She dreamed it on and off for a decade, from when she was 10 until +about 20. +Dreams are only part of her story. When she was 12 or 13, she +and her sister, who is two years younger, were staying at their +grandparents' house in St. Mary's County. They were in separate +beds in the same room when a ball of lightning, as Lea describes +it, passed through a window and curtain into the room. +About the size of a tennis ball, it glided between the beds, +bounced off a door and vanished. A couple of seconds later another +lightning ball did the same thing, and then another. Lea says there +might have been 20 in all. +She and her sister screamed. Five other people were in the +house, but no one heard them. Lea finally escaped into the hallway. +Her next memory is of waking up in bed the next morning. +None of this made sense. She says her sister remembers the +balls of light, as well as the UFO over their apartment building +years before. But her sister, Lea says, won't talk about it with +strangers. +For a long time afterward, Lea feared she was losing her mind. +But then, five years ago, she and a friend were at a mall outside a +bookstore. Lea spotted a display of books, the covers of which +featured a drawing of a grotesque creature with big, black, +almond-shaped eyes. +The book was "Communion," the writer Whitley Strieber's +account of his abductions by aliens. Lea pointed at the drawing and +screamed: "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! That's them! That's them!" +They were the creatures in her nightmare. +"That's when it registered," Lea says. "That's when I said: +`Wait a minute. Something's going on here.' " +It was the first she had heard of abductions by space +creatures. She read the book, and then a couple of others on the +subject. She became convinced that the terrifying events -- the +nightmares, the night of the lights, perhaps other unexplained +events as well -- had been abductions. +Lea's not alone. +Some researchers estimate that thousands -- if not millions -- +of humans have been abducted and studied by aliens. They base that +estimate on a 1991 survey of 5,947 Americans by the Roper polling +organization. The survey was commissioned by believers in the +abduction phenomenon. +The survey asked 11 questions, including: Have you ever woke +up paralyzed and sensing a strange presence in the room? Have you +ever "lost" an hour or more you can't account for? Have you ever +felt as if you were flying? Have you ever seen balls of light in +your room? Have you ever found scars on your body you could not +explain? +Two percent of the respondents answered yes to at least four +of those questions. From these results, the poll sponsors concluded +that 2 percent of adult Americans may have been abducted by aliens. +David M. Jacobs was a sponsor of the poll. The author of "The +UFO Controversy in America," published in 1975, is an associate +professor of history at Temple University. In recent years he +interviewed 60 people who believe they've been abducted, and last +year his book about them, "Secret Life," was published. From his +office in Philadelphia, Mr. Jacobs says: +"This subject is as far-out as it gets. It just seems too +crazy, too out of the question. The skeptics say: `This could not +be happening; therefore it is not happening.' But you have to go +where the evidence takes you, even though kicking and screaming +while en route." +Evidence? Budd Hopkins, another of the poll sponsors, says he +has interviewed witnesses and has found physical evidence, such as +unexplained body scars and mysterious burn marks on lawns where +spaceships may have landed. But primarily, he and other researchers +rely on the abduction stories -- stories told by people of +different races, all ages, both sexes; police officers, +psychiatrists, scientists, lawyers, entertainers, nurses, +journalists, farmers, an Army colonel, a golf pro. +Mr. Hopkins, who is a painter and sculptor in New York City, +became interested in aliens after seeing a UFO in 1964. Eleven +years later, a 72-year-old friend told him of watching a spaceship +land in a New York park, and of watching about 10 alien passengers +take soil samples. Mr. Hopkins found others willing to tell their +stories, and since the mid-1970s he has been at the forefront of +abduction research. He has studied more than 400 cases and written +two popular books, "Missing Time" and "Intruders," from his +interviews with people who claim, sometimes while under hypnosis, +to have been abducted. +"The overall patterns in these cases are so remarkably +consistent, often down to tiny details, and people reporting these +experiences are often so inherently credible that the phenomenon +simply cannot be dismissed," he wrote in "Intruders." +Most abductees report being taken first as children, when a +small implant, which could be remembered as a marble at the tip of +a needle, is placed deep into the ear or nose, the researchers say. +The implant's function is unknown, but these researchers say it +might serve as a locater so the person can be abducted again later. +The aliens described in the stories are small, no more than 4 +feet tall, and extremely thin. They are light-colored, often gray. +Their heads are oversized, yet their mouths and noses are tiny; +they have no ears or hair. Their eyes are large and black. +Nearly all the stories involve spaceships parked on the ground +or floating in the air. The victims are examined in a room +resembling a hospital operating room. The methodical creatures use +a variety of devices to examine humans from head to toe, +occasionally leaving scars. But the aliens, it seems, reserve +special interest for the human sexual organs. +Here is where the story, if it hasn't already, "will almost +certainly strain your credulity to the breaking point," Mr. Hopkins +wrote in "Intruders." +Through interviews with people who report abduction stories, +Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Jacobs came to believe that these aliens are -- +and have been for several decades -- conducting some sort of +breeding experiment with human beings. +This involves the taking of sperm and egg samples; the +implanting of a genetically altered embryo into women; the +extraction of the fetus; and, finally, the external incubation of +the fetus. Women have sometimes reported they were presented hybrid +babies and expected to nurture, even breast-feed, them. +"It's very hard to think of this as some wonderful, new +adventure," Mr. Hopkins says. +Maybe an extraterrestrial species is introducing a desirable +human characteristic into its own evolutionary cycle, say the +researchers. Maybe it is reducing the difference between its +species and ours. Maybe it is seeding another planet, or maybe it +has a plan completely beyond the comprehension and imagination of +the human brain. +Yeah, right, say the skeptics. +The astronomer Carl Sagan says that he is open-minded to the +prospect of intelligent beings living in space, but he doesn't +believe they're sneaking into bedrooms and tormenting Earthlings. +"Tell me," he says, "which is more plausible: We're victims of +a massive invasion of alien sexual abusers, or people are seeing +things that just aren't there?" +Although abduction claims began surfacing nearly half a +century ago, not one shred of indisputable physical evidence has +surfaced, says Mr. Sagan, who recently wrote an article for Parade +magazine debunking those claims. +"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," he +says. "Somebody telling a story is not evidence, even many people +telling the same story isn't good enough. They're people, that's +the point, and people intrinsically have certain fallibilities." +Abduction accounts may say something about how the brain +works, or how people can be deluded, or even how religions begin, +he says from his office at Cornell University. But they say +nothing, he says, about skinny, large-eyed aliens kidnapping humans. +"There's a better chance of your getting hit on the head by +one of Santa's reindeer than of you being abducted," says Philip J. +Klass, a retired senior editor and now contributing editor at +Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine. "I will say, slightly +tongue-in-cheek, there is better evidence of the existence of +mermaids and Irish leprechauns." +Mr. Klass, who lives in Washington, says he has tried to +verify UFO cases for nearly 30 years and has not found a credible +one. In his 1989 book, "UFO Abductions: A Dangerous Game," Mr. +Klass contended that people who believe they've been abducted by +aliens need treatment by qualified psychotherapists, not UFO "cult +gurus." +Robert A. Baker, a retired professor of psychology at the +University of Kentucky, has written derisively about abduction +stories. He says some are simply fabrications or the recounting of +stories gleaned from books or movies, while others are products of +psychological disorders. +The stories may be repressed memories of childhood sexual or +physical abuse surfacing in disguised form, he says. Or they may be +the type of vivid, realistic dreams occurring as a person falls +asleep or wakes up -- hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations. +And, he says, some people who believe they've been abducted may be +fantasy-prone or psychologically disturbed. +"Anyway," Dr. Baker says, "if this phenomena were as common as +Hopkins and Jacobs would have us believe, the sky would be filled +with spacecraft abducting people back and forth. UFOs would be +stacked up like aircraft coming in at O'Hare." +The believers and skeptics counter each other point by point. +Both sides publish newsletters buttressing their claims. And both +produce mental-health specialists who pronounce judgment on the +sanity of the victims. +But in the end, what are we left with? The stories. +Lea started out thinking she was dreaming or hallucinating. +After coming to believe she had been abducted, she contacted a +representative of the Mutual UFO Network, an international group +interested in UFOs. She was referred to Bob Oechsler, a former +National Aeronautics and Space Administration mission specialist +who lives in Edgewater in Anne Arundel County. +Mr. Oechsler, who became interested in UFOs as a boy, is +intrigued with the technology of crafts from outer space: How do +they get here from there? For the past two years he has researched +UFO sightings full time. On his front door is a brass plaque that +reads: UFOs are real!!! +He invited Lea to his home. After a couple of meetings he +suggested she undergo hypnosis. Some abductees remember only +snippets of their experience, but find they can recall more during +hypnosis. A psychologist hypnotized Lea at Mr. Oechsler's home, but +Lea says few hidden memories emerged. +Mr. Oechsler is starting a support group for abductees, one of +dozens forming across the country, he says. About 30 people, +including Lea, have signed up. +Bruce S. Maccabee, a research physicist for the Navy, will +also attend. The Frederick County resident has researched UFOs on +his own for years, and is a longtime leader in UFO research groups, +one of which, the Fund for UFO Research, in Mount Rainier, Md., +sponsored the abduction conference at MIT. +At the organizational meeting of Mr. Oechsler's support group, +Dr. Maccabee told the participants: +"This subject is so weird, so misunderstood. All we can do is +hold your hand and make you realize you're not alone." +That would be a relief to Lea. +Strange things continue to happen to her. Not long ago, she +says, while visiting friends in the West Virginia mountains, she +was floated out of the house, taken aboard a spaceship and handed a +baby. +It was a boy, with leathery skin, a thin neck and an oversized +head with patches of red hair. It had huge eyes, she says, but they +weren't coal black like those of the adult aliens. They were blue. +"I don't know why, and I know this sounds strange," Lea says +in a voice trembling with emotion, "but as soon as I held him in my +arms, I knew he was mine. I felt like I was his mother." +She rocked him and talked quietly to him, she says, as several +aliens watched. Lea hesitates and says, almost apologetically: "I +know this doesn't make any sense." +Even though she has trouble sleeping and often feels as if +she's being watched, she says she has "kind of gotten used to the +idea" of being abducted. +"I don't like it, but there's nothing I can do about it, as +far as I can see," she says. "If they were going to hurt me, I +think they would have done it a long time ago." +She knows what the skeptics say. But, she says, they don't +give people enough credit for knowing the difference between what's +actually happened to them and what they might have imagined. Lea +says she was never abused as a child. She says she has no reason to +make up a story so crazy and bizarre. +Why does she think the aliens chose her? +"I have no idea," she says. "I don't know who they are, where +they come from, what they're doing, nothing. +"I just want people to understand that this is real, this is +happening. It's out there, and you're going to have to accept it +sooner or later." +Is she absolutely sure that her torment has been caused by +aliens? +"There's no doubt in my mind," she says. "And I know they'll +be back." + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Terrorized by little gray creatures with large black +eyes who whisk you away from your bedroom at night? Plagued by +poltergeists rattling the bookshelf and hurling pictures from the wall? +Haunted by the ghost of a loved one, say, or precognitive dreams that +turn suddenly real? Whatever the nature of your encounter with the +unknown, you may have been left physically drained or emotionally +scarred. Chances are, you've confided in no one, fearful friends and +relatives would consider you insane. So where do you turn? + + Actually, you have some options. You might, for instance, place your +trust in someone who makes a business out of the unknown. you saw the +movie; you know the tune. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! If it's +psychic troubles you've had, you call a parapsychologist. And when it +comes to possessions and visions and such, there's always the minister, +rabbi, or parish priest. On the plus side, you can be fairly confident +these people will believe you. On the other hand, if your trouble is +even partially psychological, how much help would they be? + + That's where mainstream psychologists and psychiatrists come in. If +you're hallucinating, they might have a treatment or cure. But don't +expect them to believe you. They'll dismiss your story as a raving +fantasy, and if you can't shake the episode, you may end up diagnosed +with schizophrenia and on antipsychotic drugs. + + Not what you had in mind? Then consider your third option: the new +breed of mental-health professional now contending that such other +worldly experiences are legitimate and commonplace among the sane. +That's not to say they accept the reality of alien abductors or +precognition or ghosts - though much to the horror of their colleagues, +a few of them have. But what many of these therapists have come to +believe over the past five years is that such experiences - regardless +of their cause - are common among normal, healthy people, and that those +who find themselves traumatized by such episodes are just as deserving +of psychological ministrations as those who suffer anxiety, depression, +or the trauma that follows a plane crash or a rape. + + To signal the birth of this new discipline, some dedicated +professionals have even formed a group known as TREAT, for clinicians +and physical and behavioral scientists interested in the Treatment and +Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma. TREAT, which holds a +conference each spring, deals with everything from reports of UFO +abduction and precognition to near-death episodes, satanic possession, +and alleged contact with the dead. Another favorite TREAT area is +kundalini - often perceived as a burning. vibrating, or electrifying +sensation associated with meditation or any other heavy duty spiritual +chore. + + By all indicators, TREAT is a movement whose time has come. Indeed, +every national poll on the paranormal confirms just how widespread such +experiences are. A 1992 survey by the Roper Organization, for instance, +suggests that 2 percent of the population, or 1 of every 50 adult +Americans, exhibits the symptoms that sometimes mask a UFO abduction +experience. A 1987 study conducted by Andrew Greeley and colleagues at +the University of Chicago showed that 42 percent of American adults +reported contact with the dead, 67 percent claimed ESP experiences, and +31 percent reported clairvoyance. And a 1981 Gallup poll showed that an +extraordinary 15 percent of all people revived from the cusp of death +reported the spectacle of the near-death experience in which they +glimpsed such generic signposts as beckoning loved ones or a tunnel of +light. + + One must not, of course, mistake these experiences for proof of their +reality. "Truth should not be defined by what people believe," warns +Harold Goldstein, a psychologist in the division of epidemiology and +services research branch of the National Institutes of Mental Health. +"Facts are facts. Now it may turn out that there are aliens and such +things, but there needs to be evidence for it, and belief is not +evidence." + + Then again, say the professionals on the frontier of the new +psychology, beliefs should not be dismissed. "Paranormal experiences +are so common in the general population," psychiatrists Colin Ross of +Dallas and Shaun Joshi of Winnipeg, Canada, said in a recent issue of +the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, "that no theory of normal +psychology or psychopathology which does not take them into account can +be comprehensive." Such experiences, they say, could be studied +scientifically, "in the same way as anxiety. depression, or any other +set of experiences" without making "any decision as to whether some, +all, or none of them are objectively real." + + That may sound good in theory, but some observers wonder whether it's +really possible in practice. Therapists, it turns out, are no more +immune to the potent lure of the unknown than any one else. Unwary +specialists of the human mind may, in fact, be particularly prone to +accepting the reality of their patient's fascinating tales. And +enchantment can lead to obsession. The psychoanalyst Robert Lindner +admitted as much in 1955 after coming under the spell of a patient who +provided detailed accounts of visits into the future reality of another +planet. To help the patient, Lindner studied the mass of written +records Kirk had prepared, noted the inconsistencies, and confronted him +with the errors. That effort forced cracks in the fantasy and led, +eventually, to Kirk's recovery. But Lindner, meanwhile, become so +absorbed in the story that he had difficulty extricating himself from +its grip. In his classic book, The Fifty-Minute Hour, he admits to +skirting "the edges of the abyss." Now, some 35 years later, the latest +mental-health professionals to flirt with UFO abduction, the near-death +experience, and psychic phenomena face this danger as well. + + One mental-health worker to dive headlong into the dark pit of the +unknown in recent years is psychiatrist Rima Laibow. Her sprawling +office in the upscale Westchester County town of Hastings-on-Hudson, New +York, is ringed with the big fluffy pillows she uses in holding therapy, +originally designed to repair early attachment deficits in autistic +children but now used with other serious chikdhood and adult problems as +well. Dressed in blue slacks and a blouse, her frizzy hair tossed to +one side, Laibow recalls her first professional journey through the +looking glass. "lt was 1988," she explains, "and a patient whom I had +known for many years came to me in a state of anxiety and panic because, +out of the corner of her eye, she had caught sight of the cover of +Communion." + + The patient, a 43-year-old cardiologist, had never read this 1987 +best-seller by horror novelist Whitley Strieber, didn't know that it +concerned alleged encounters with UFO entities, and had never been +interested in the subject of alien abduction at all. Despite all this, +after glimpsing the cover of Communion, she claimed terrifying memory +fragments of encounters with creatures like those on the book's cover. + + "Such notions had always struck me as psychotic," Laibow explains, +"but this patient taught me otherwise." Convinced that her patient +showed no sign of major psychopathology, in fact, Laibow came up with a +different diagnosis for the sudden breakdown the cardiologist +experienced following recall of an alleged alien encounter: +posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. + + According to the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of +Mental Disorders, PTSD is a stress reaction triggered by various +external events "outside the range of usual human experience." +Triggering events, the American Psychiatric Association's manual goes on +to say, include such atrocities as rape, war, and natural disasters like +earthquakes or floods, which are "usually experienced with intense fear, +terror, and helplessness." In fact, Laibow's patient met all the +criteria for PTSD but one. "There had been no known trauma," recalls +Laibow, "so I thought, how could she have PTSD when we all know there +couldn't possibly be an external event like an alien abduction could +there?" + + Over the weeks that followed, Laibow worked to quell her patient's +anxiety and panic. But the doctor herself remained genuinely puzzled. +In search of answers, she read all the literature she could find on +reported alien abductions and spoke to the primary investigators in the +field: New York artist Budd Hopkins, who had written two books on the +topic, and Temple University historian David Jacobs, who, like Hopkins, +had become a kind of folk guru and de-facto therapist for UFO abduction +victims. + + "What I found," Laibow states, "left me both impressed and appalled." +She was impressed, she says, because "there's a substantial body of data +suggesting that under some circumstances, at some times, for some +reason, there are things in the atmosphere we call UFOs that appear to +have external physical reality." But she was appalled because from her +"sad and shocking experience, UFOlogy as it exists today is little more +than a collection of belief systems vying for dominance. The field is +plagued by the notion that just collecting neat stuff is the same as +doing research. If I were the National Science Foundation, I wouldn't +fund this research, either." + + Hoping to change all that, Laibow began by giving UFO abduction and +the whole gamut of experience with unexplained phenomena a new, more +respectable name. "Experienced anomalous trauma," she called it, so +that "professionals, who would otherwise stop listening because you've +mentioned UFOs, parapsychology, and other weird things would now stop +and process those three words in relation to each other and ask, 'Like +what?' " + + The strategy worked. In fact, with the name experienced anomalous +trauma as a draw, Laibow found dozens of psychiatrists and Ph.D. +psychologists intrigued by her ideas. To take advantage of the +momentum, she formed an umbrella organization for the Treatment and +Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma, or TREAT, and held the group's +first meeting in May 1989. + + TREAT quickly attracted some big guns in the mental-health community. +One was John Wilson. A professor of psychology at Cleveland State +University, Wilson is one of the pioneers in the field of posttraumatic +stress disorder. He helped both to coin the term and to formulate a +definition of the disorder as far back as 1980. In the past two +decades, Wilson has listened patiently to more than 10,000 people +traumatized by somc major life event and has conducted major studies of +PTSD in Vietnam combat veterans and victims of toxic exposure. + + Wilson's own curiosity with the unknown dates back to childhood, when +a neighbor of his worked for Project Blue Book, the notorious Air Force +effort responsible for investigating UFOs. When the abduction +phenomenon emerged, he began to wonder what symptoms the alleged victims +would report. "The most obvious answer," he says, "is that they would +have PTSD." + + According to Wilson, in fact, those who report memories of UFO +abduction find themselves in the same sort of psychologically stressful +dilemma as those who have been exposed to invisible toxic contaminants +such as hydrogen sulfide. "They aren't sure about it," he explains, +"not sure anybody is going to believe them, don't know how to stop it, +and don't know how long it has gone on. But the big difference is that +those claiming a UFO abduction don't even know if it occurred for sure. +If you've been exposed to a toxic chemical, you can usually have a +toxicologist come and study your house, and they'll say, yeah, it's +there, or it's not. But someone who's had a UFO abduction experience +can't point to the flying saucer or the little gray guy with the +almond-shaped eyes. That puts them in a really psychologically +ensnaring position." In fact, Wilson places UFO abductions and exposure +to invisible toxic contaminants in the same general category of +traumatic experiences as childhood sexual abuse and psychological +torture, calling them examples of "hidden events" that may lead to PTSD +but which often can't be proven real. + + Wilson isn't surprised by his colleagues' slow reception to anomalous +trauma. "Fifty years ago, mental-health professionals didn't believe in +childhood abuse," Wilson notes. "When kids or adults would report +incest experiences, sexual molestation, or rape and went to see a +mental-health professional, they were told, 'That's a fantasy; that +doesn't happen; it can't be real.' It wasn't until the Sixties that the +American College of Pediatrics even did a study to find out what was +going on. And then, voila, it was out of the closet, and today we have +hard data on childhood sexual abuse. There is a parallel here to +anomalous experience; whether it's UFO abduction or demon possession, +our culture says no." + + But as far as Wilson is concerned, the cultural disbelief system will +change as anomalous trauma becomes a diagnostic subcategory of PTSD. +"American culture is on the leading edge of this material," he says, +"and my prediction is that within five to ten years, the idea of +experienced anomalous trauma will get the serious consideration it +deserves." + + Indeed, with Wilson's stamp of approval and Laibow's promotional +drive, other psychiatrists and psychologists have begun to come around. +One already going that route is kundalini expert Bonnie Greenwell, a +California-based psychotherapist and author of Energies of +Transformation. This "energy phenomenon," as Greenwell calls it, has +been described by Hindu mystics and practitioners of Yoga as an +"awakening" of spiritual energy that supposedly "sleeps" at the base of +the spine. But kundalini awakenings, considered the beginning of the +process of enlightment by masters of the technique, can result in +serious psychological disturbance as well. + + And that's where Creenwell comes in. Even those seeking the kundalini +experience can find it painful, she explains, and for those not +expecting it, the experience can be a nightmare. Indeed, those +undergoing the kundalini experience don't seem to know what hit them +because they are unaware that it might be triggered by anything from a +physical trauma or emotional shock to a long-term spiritual practice or +dose of LSD. What's more, says Greenwell, the experience may be +accompanied by visions and trances, the sensation of leaving the body, +and alternating periods of ecstasy and despair, symptoms that could lead +to pathological diagnoses by conventional shrinks. + + But Western medicine is not alone in its ignorance of kundalini, +according to Greenwell. Many spiritual teachers don't have a clue what +to do with it, either. "Some teachers will tell them it can't be +kundalini or it would feel good," she says. "Others tell these people +they're having a breakdown. There are even cases in Buddhist retreats +where people have been taken to psychiatric hospitals when they had a +kundalini opening. Many people who teach yoga or meditation are not +developed to the extent that they have gone through this process +themselves. It's very unfortunate, and it's one of the major reasons I +started doing what I do." + + Greenwell's craft includes helping those troubled by kundalini tap the +positive aspects of the phenomenon while discarding the negative as +quickly as they can. "Once they understand the process as essentially +positive in the long run," Greenwell says, "they are no longer afraid of +it and can often work it out quite effectively on their own." + + One person Greenwell saw over come the problems of kundalini was +Sarah, born after her father's death in 1918. During childhood, Sarah +spent numerous hours communing with her deceased father and as an adult +used that same impulse to meditate. Listening to high-frequency sound +and visualizing the inside of her body, Sarah began feeling waves of +kundalini along with terrifying visions: In one, she was cut up piece +by piece, and in another, her body was invaded by swords. In the end, +Sarah managed to control her terrors by expressing the creative energy +of kundalini in the form of dreams, dance, movement, and art. + + Other clients, Greenwell adds, have been far more distressed by +kundalini energy than Sarah. In these severe cases, she notes, "the +person struggles to get control of a body which involuntarily forces +them into motions or freezes them in action, locks pain into the back +and shoulders or into the site of any preexisting injury, and flushes +them with intense heat and cold. Such subjects occasionally fall into +trance or report that they are leaving their body. They may be blinded +by lights upon entering a dark room or feel they're being electrocuted +in bed." + + Depending upon who these people consult, says Greenwell, they may be +diagnosed with any number of disturbances from schizophrenia to grand +mal epilepsy. That's just what happened to Cathy, who experienced +periods of intense, trancelike states, extreme sensations of cold, and +"unusual energy flows" moving upward from her feet to her hands. Given +medication for everything from psychosis to seizures, Cathy finally +decided to abandon all conventional treatment and accept her symptoms as +"spiritual" in nature, coming from energies beyond. It was this +acceptance, Greenwell claims, that resulted in an immediate improvement +in Cathy's health and enabled her to give up antiseizure drugs and +integrate her experiences in a positive way into her life. + + Greenwell probably sees more patients with kundalini problems than +therapists on the East coast, perhaps because kundalini is largely a +California phenomenon. The high percentage of meditators out West, she +concedes, means "you have a lot of people primed for the experiences." + + Those who suffer from spiritual traumas, kundalini or otherwise, can +also access another West Coast resource the Soquel, California-based +Spiritual Emergence Network, or SEN, a telephone referral service +(408-464-8261) founded by Christina Grof, who with her husband, +Stanislav, pioneered research on the altered state. "We get about 150 +calls a month" says Deane Brown, a therapist and the Network's program +director. "People call us when something is happening that they don't +understand. The volunteers who answer the phone come from a variety of +backgrounds and many of them have experienced some critical or +frightening period of spiritual emergence of their own. So they can +truthfully say to the caller, 'I know what you're going through; I've +been there.' What we do, essentially, is listen. That's the greatest +gift that we can give to a caller. We don't judge the content of what +they say. We respond to the feeling rather than the content. We never +diagnose." + + After talking to the caller for a while, SEN volunteers provide the +name and number of one of the 500 people in the SEN database. These +people range from psychiatrists and psychologists who are familiar with +the SEN philosophy of "spiritual emergence" to shamans, psychics, +healers, or clergy in the troubled caller's area. + + "The types of calls seem to go in cycles," notes Brown. "We will +often get a lot of the same calls at about the same time from all over. +For a while we may get a lot of kundalini calls. Then we may get a lot +of psychic opening, including out-of-body experiences, telepathy, and +uncanny coincidences. Other callers report possession, psychic attack +by demons, and the like." + + Despite the common goals of workers like Greenwell and Laibow, +however, the TREAT movement has run into some trouble of its own. The +reason: Laibow's strong resistance to the pioneering group of workers +without professional credentials who aided the spiritually traumatized +in the first place, years before it became fashionable for those with +degrees. The biggest rift was caused by her refusal to accept artist +Budd Hopkins, author of the classic volumes Missing Time and Intruders, +and the individual who brought the plight of UFO abductees to the +attention of physicians and the general public when everyone else was +ignoring them or calling them insane. Laibow's beef: Hopkins and others +had been hypnotizing the alleged abductees to elicit their tales, and +they had no business doing so "since their formal training amounted to +just about nil." Such "wannabe clinicians," she believes, can be very +dangerous, indeed. + + Says Laibow, "There's a huge difference in being able to induce a +hypnotic trance and being a clinician who knows what to do when you've +got a trance, who knows how to not contaminate the material, and who +knows how to facilitate recovery rather than cause retraumatization +because people can be retraumatized by the unconscious repetition of +their material. And what do you do if a UFO investigator does you +clinical harm by taking on clinical responsibilities? Where is his +malpractice liability, and how are you going to be protected? People +who are not willing to take the time and the effort to become clinicians +should not be stomping around in the unconscious." + + Though many professionals agreed with Laibow's argument, others felt +it was unjust to throw out those who had brought the phenomenon to their +attention in the first place. As Hopkins himself said, "Where have all +the mental-health professionals been all these years while these people +were clamoring for help." In fact, the dispute has done little to +diminish Hopkins' influence, who continues to bring mental-health +professionals into the fold. + + One of Hopkins' recruits is Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John +Mack, author of the 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Lawrence of +Arabia. Though he is the most prominent and respected member of the +mental-health profession to take an interest in anomalous experiences in +recent years, Mack is not a pretentious man. The photo from a Boston +Globe profile shows him standing in a field wearing corduroy slacks and +a plaid shirt, his soft gray-green eyes staring calmly at the camera. +Unlike most therapists who take an interest in these matters, Mack makes +no attempt to hide the fact that he is "open to what these people are +telling us." + + Mack met Budd Hopkins in January 1990, and was impressed both by the +man and the case histories of alleged UFO abductions he had collected +over the years. "The stories didn't sound at all like dreams or +fantasies to me," says Mack, his voice resonant with authority. "It +sounded like something real was happening. And I thought, well, if this +is real, what is it? Then Budd asked if I wanted to see some of these +people, and I realized I was crossing some kind of line, but I said +yes." + + Since then, Mack has heard abduction stories from people of all walks +of life. "Forty years of psychiatry," he says, "has given me no way to +explain what I'm encountering in my interviews and hypnosis sessions of +these individuals. Something is going on; something is happening to +these people. I'm convinced of it." + + In fact, Mack has done as much as TREAT to bring anomalous trauma to +center stage in the professional domain. He has spoken freely with the +media about his interest and has given talks and participated in private +conferences on the subject. Colleagues who hear him speak often raise +the issue of whether UFO abduction stories might not be covers for +episodes of sexual abuse and incest in childhood. But according to +Mack, the reverse has been the case. "There is not a single known case +of the thousands that have been investigated where exploring or looking +into the abduction story revealed behind it an incest or sexual-abuse +history," he says, "but therapists looking for incest stories have come +up with UFO abduction memories instead." + + Mack understands his colleagues' reluctance to delve into the subject. +"It's so shocking to the paradigm of psychology and psychiatry, which +tend to look for the source of the experience in the psyches of the +people who are affected rather than to acknowledge that something +mysterious is happening to these people. The phenomenon is not simply a +product of their mental condition but has some kind of objective +reality. Whether you call it extraterrestrial or other-dimensional, +what it really means is that we may live in a rather different universe +from the one Western science has told us we live in. + + Mack speaks of vast philosophical implications for this phenomenon and +human identity in the cosmos. "There's really a great fear of opening +up our world beyond what we know," he says. "But we need to get out of +the box we're in and see ourselves in relationship to the universe, and +I think this phenomenon could be very important in expanding our sense +of ourselves." + + Mack's daring views are not shared by all therapists involved in the +dark side of the unknown. "If aliens are coming and invading us and +abusing us in a very literal sense," argues Toronto psychotherapist +David Gotlib, "then it's difficult for me to understand how a +significant portion of those who are taken could find it curious or +enlightening. If you compare it to the Holocaust or the Vietnam War or +any kind of traumatic event, then sure you can learn to grow through it, +but only after a lot of pain and soul searching, and not right away. So +it discourages me from subscribing to a literal explanation. It also +suggests to me that the phenomenon may be dependent on who's +experiencing it as well as on what's happening. + + Gotlib has thought a lot about UFOs since 1988 when he began treating +a woman who had been turned down by other therapists because she claimed +her anxiety was due to an alien abduction. He has now seen 40 such +patients and publishes the Bulletin of Anomalous Experience so that his +150 subscribers in the mental-health professions can network and +exchange ideas on UFO abduction reports and related phenomena. "I don't +expect to solve the puzzle or have the puzzle solved in my lifetime," +notes Gotlib. "These kinds of things have been going on for hundreds of +years. I think if we start trying to solve the question definitively, +then we're chasing our tail. What I'm most concerned about is, how can +we help these people?" + + Gotlib sees his next patient and 50 minutes later calls back to answer +his own questions. "Basically, what we have to do is listen to them +without judgement. You let them know that there are a lot of other +people who have had these kinds of experiences, that they are not crazy, +they are not psychotic, they are not mentally ill, they aren't losing +their minds, and this has the effect of empowering them. You talk about +the different ways that people understand this experience, and you +explore it with them. One patient left saying that his fear had been +transformed into curiosity. If I can do that, then I think I've met my +therapeutic objective." + + It's not a surprise, of course, that Mack, Laibow, and other +mental-health professionals championing the anomalous have faced a +growing barrage of criticism both from colleagues and outsiders. Are +these therapists, critics wonder, clinging to the myth of their own +mental impregnability and being drawn into the abyss by the magnetic +pull of their patients' experiences? + + "One needs to monitor one's own reaction to what it is that goes on," +cautions NIMH psychologist Harold Goldstein. "You can be sympathetic, +you can be empathic, you can be understanding, but your goal as a +therapist is not to leap into the same pit as the patient, but to be +there to help pull someone out. I think that when physicians or +psychologists endorse these things, or appear to endorse them, we do +real damage to issues of rationality and realistic evidence. When we +reach a point that what's true is what people believe, then we've sunk +to a very dangerous situation. " + + Bill Ellis, a researcher in contemporary legends at Pennsylvania State +University in Hazleton applauds mental-health professionals for coming +to grips with anomalous experiences, but, like Goldstein, thinks a +little more objectivity is in order. "I think we forget therapists can +communicate through body language what they want from their patients," +he says. "It's the clever Hans phenomenon. It's like the horse that +could come up with the square root of 360, but what it had really +learned to do was keep pawing the ground until its trainer relaxed. The +trainer was not doing it deliberately. The trainer was convinced that +the horse could add and subtract and do square roots. But eventually, +somebody who was smart enough to figure out what was going on stopped +watching the horse and started watching the trainer. I think we should +have more people watching the therapists." + + Doing just that is Robert Baker, a retired professor of psychology who +taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University +of Kentucky. And Baker doesn't like what he sees. "I hope we can do +something about this nonsense, because it's getting to the point where +it's almost a national panic disorder," he says. "We have to do +something about therapists who really don't know what they're doing. The +therapists who commit themselves to this nonsense are not aware of major +areas of human behavior and just do not understand the way the human +nervous system works." + + One thing that fools therapists, says Baker, is cryptoamnesia, a +series of false memories that form a fantasy with a few minor elements +of truth thrown in. "The fact is, we do not remember things exactly," +he explains. "We change, arrange, and distort the memories we have +stored to better serve our needs and desires. We fill the gaps in +memory with events that never happened or with events that did not +happen the way we imagine, and the results can be bizarre." + + The other major cause of the wild stories people tell, according to +Baker, is sleep paralysis, a sleep disorder accompanied by +hallucinations that affects about 5 percent of the population. In sleep +paralysis, Baker explains, "people wake up in the middle of the night +and can't move. They feel like they're wide awake, but they continue +dreaming and in the dreams often see such things as demons, aliens, or +ghosts. Since they're partly awake, however, they may think the dream +really happened when, in fact, it didn't. It's no wonder that people +find this terrifying, and that's what's responsible for the +posttraumatic stress disorder that therapists are talking about." + + But Baker has no explanation for the wild stories told by the +therapists themselves, unless, he notes, they're "simply seeking +attention." Laibow, for instance, claims to have personally experienced +anomalous "healing," an event she says cannot be explained by +conventional medical science. As Laibow recalls, it was a muggy day in +August 1991 when she "trucked on down to Brooklyn to an unairconditioned +high-school auditorium filled with lots of Polish and Russian emigres. +"She sat for three hours, she says, watching Kiev-based psychiatrist and +self-proclaimed healer Anatoly Kashperovsky dance to New Age Gypsy music +and thought, "What's a nice girl like me doing in a place like this?" + + Anyway, there was Laibow, watching Kashperovsky's performance, +impatient and skeptical and thinking, "This wouldn't work well at the +AMA," when suddenly," she says, "this Caesarean scar that I had, which +was thick and ropey and very prominent because I'd gotten an infection +immediately after the delivery of my son, began to tingle." As soon as +she could decorously take a peek, she hiked up her skirt and found to +her surprise that the scar was gone. + + She immediately made an appointment with her gynecologist, "the head +of reproductive medicine at a major university," who, Laibow claims, was +shocked when all he could find was a very fine hairline scar. The +gynecologist, whom she will not name, was excited by her story. "Imagine +if we could do that," Laibow says he exclaimed. Laibow adds that the +gynecologist may be interested in collaborating on a future study of +healing. One possible subject: a Japanese healer who Laibow says "seems +to have some very substantial powers." + + As founder of TREAT and raconteur of stories both marvelous and +strange, Laibow is controversial to say the least. But are the doctor +and her colleagues merely misguided, marrying their fortunes to the +winds of culture, much like those who touted fairies and dragons in eras +past? Or are they onto something new? Will their quest lead more +people to come forward with anomalous experiences and encounters, +providing the data necessary for proper scrutiny - perhaps even +authentication - by the scientific and medical communities at large? In +short, are these mental-health professionals fooling themselves, or are +they forging extraordinary paths through the byways of consciousness and +the murky outback of the unknown? To answer these questions, of course, +is to know the nature of the unknown, and that is something we humans +have ceaselessly attempted for thousands of years - so far, with out +much success. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

You're lying in bed, fully awake - but, you discover, +you're utterly paralyzed. You sense someone in the room. You try to cry +out. But you cannot. Several small gray beings less than 4 feet tall are +standing at the foot of your bed. Their heads are pear-shaped and bald, +and large for their bodies. Their eyes are enormous, their faces +expressionless and identical. They wear tunics and boots. You hope this is +only a dream, but as nearly as you can tell it's really happening. They +lift you up, and, eerily, they and you slip through the wall of your +bedroom and float out into the air, rising high toward a metallic, +saucer-shaped aircraft. There, you are escorted into a medical examining +room. A larger but similar being - evidently some sort of physician - +takes over. What follows is even more terrifying. + +Your body is probed with special machines, especially your sexual parts. +If you're a man, they may take sperm samples; if you're a woman, they may +implant semen or remove ova or fetuses. They may force you to have sex. +Afterward, you may be ushered into a different room where hybrid babies, +partly human, and partly these creatures, stare back at you. You may be +given an admonition about human misbehavior, especially in despoiling the +environment; scenes of future devastation are displayed. Finally, these +cheerless gray emissaries usher you out of the spacecraft and ooze you +back through the walls into your bed. By the time you're able to move and +talk, they're gone. + +You may not remember the incident right away; you might find some period +of time unaccountably missing. Because all of this seems so bizarre, +you're concerned about your sanity; naturally, you're reluctant to talk to +anyone about it. At the same time, the experience is so disturbing that +it's hard to keep bottled up forever. It all pours out when you hear +similar accounts, or when you're under hypnosis with a sympathetic +therapist, or even when you see a picture of an "alien" in one of the many +popular magazines and books on UFOs. + +In a recent Roper poll of nearly 6,000 American adults, specially +commissioned by those who accept the alien abduction story at face value, +18% reported sometimes waking up paralyzed, aware of one or more strange +beings in the room. Something like 13% reported odd episodes of missing +time, and 10% claimed to have flown through the air without mechanical +assistance. From these results, the poll's sponsors concluded that 2% of +all Americans have been abducted, many repeatedly, by beings from other +worlds. If aliens are not partial to Americans, the number for the whole +planet would be more than 100 million people. This means an abduction +every several seconds. It's surprising that more of the neighbors haven't +noticed. + +What's going on here? Could all these people be mistaken, or lying, or +hallucinating the same or a very similar story? When you talk with them, +most seem very sincere, although in the grip of powerful emotions. A few +psychiatrists who have examined them find no more evidence of +psychopathology than in the rest of us. But could there really be a +massive alien invasion, repugnant medical procedures performed on millions +of innocent men, women and children, and humans apparently used as +breeding stock over many decades - and all this not generally known and +dealt with by responsible media and the governments sworn to protect the +lives and well-being of their citizens? + +Why should beings so advanced in physics and engineering - crossing vast +interstellar distances, walking like ghosts through walls - be so backward +when it comes to biology? Why go to all the trouble of repeated sexual +encounters between aliens and humans? Why not steal a few egg and sperm +cells, read the full genetic code and then manufacture as many genetic +variations as you like? Even we humans - who cannot quickly cross +interstellar space or slither through walls - are able to clone cells. The +preoccupation with reproduction in these accounts raises a warning flag - +especially considering the uneasy balance between sexual freedom and +repression that has always characterized the human condition, and the fact +that we live in a time fraught with numerous ghastly accounts, both true +and false, of childhood sexual abuse. + +The pollsters never actually asked whether their subjects had been +abducted by aliens; they ___DEDUCED___ it: Those who've ever awakened +sensing strange presences around them, ever unaccountably seemed to fly +through the air, and so on, have THEREFORE been abducted by aliens. The +conclusion - that millions of American have been abducted - seems +extremely doubtful. Still, at least hundreds of people, believing they +have been abducted, have sought out sympathetic therapists or joined +abductee support groups. + +So which is more likely - that we're undergoing a massive but generally +overlooked invasion by alien sexual abusers, or that people are +experiencing some internal mental state they do not understand? +Admittedly, we're very ignorant about both extraterrestrial beings, if +any, and about human psychology. But if these really were the only two +alternatives, which would you pick? + +It's curious that emotions can run so high on a matter in which we know so +little. After all, either hypothesis - extraterrestrial invasion or an +epidemic of hallucinations - teaches us something we certainly ought to +know about. Maybe the reason for such strong feelings is that both +alternatives have extremely unpleasant implications. + +The first alien abduction story in the modern era began with Betty and +Barney Hill, a New Hampshire couple - she a social worker and he a Post +Office employee. During a late night drive in 1961 through the White +mountains of New Hampshire, Betty spotted a bright starlike UFO that +seemed to follow them. Because Barney feared it might harm them, they left +the main highway for narrow mountain roads. They arrived home two hours +later than they had expected. The experience prompted Betty to read a book +claiming that UFOs were spaceships from other worlds. Soon after, she had +a repetitive nightmare in which she and Barney were abducted and taken +aboard the UFO. Barney overheard her describing this dream to friends and +volunteer UFO investigators. + +Several years later, Barney's psychiatrist referred him to a Boston +hypnotherapist, Benjamin Simon, M.D. Betty came to be hypnotized as well. +Under hypnosis they separately described a memory of their trip home - of +seeing a UFO, watching it land on the highway and being taken partly +immobilized into the UFO, where little humanoid creatures subjected them +to unconventional medical examinations. + +I was glad to have an opportunity to spend several hours with Mr. and Mrs. +Hill, and with Dr. Simon. There was no mistaking the earnestness and +sincerity of Betty and Barney, and their mixed feelings about becoming +public figures under such bizarre circumstances. With the Hills' +permission, Dr. Simon played for me some of the audiotape of their +sessions under hypnosis. By far my most striking impression was the +absolute terror in Barney's voice as he described - relived would be a +better word - the encounter. Simon rejected the notion that they were +lying. So what's left? The Hills, said the psychiatrist, had experienced a +species of "dream." + +In 1894 THE INTERNATIONAL CENSUS OF WAKING HALLUCINATIONS was published in +London. From that time to this, repeated surveys have shown that 10% to +25% of ordinary, functioning people have experienced at least once a vivid +hallucination - hearing a voice, usually, or seeing a form when there's no +one there. In some cases there are profound religious experiences. +(Probably a dozen times since their deaths I've heard my mother or father, +in an ordinary, conversational tone of voice, calling my name. They had +called my name often during my life with them. I still miss them so much +that it doesn't seem strange to me that my brain will occasionally +retrieve a kind of lucid recollection of their voices.) + +Such hallucinations may occur to perfectly normal people. But there are +circumstances in which they can be elicited by a campfire at night, or +under great stress, or by prolonged fasting or sleeplessness, or sensory +deprivation, or through hallucinogens such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, +hashish or alcohol. These hallucinations have a vivid and palpable +reality. + +Hallucinations are common. If you have one, it doesn't mean you're crazy. +Indeed, they are sought out in many cultures. We would surely be missing +something important about our own nature if we refused to face up to the +fact that hallucinations are part of being human. But none of this makes +hallucinations real. + +Most of us remember being frightened at the age of 3 or so by real-seeming +but wholly imaginary "monsters." If we're capable of conjuring up monsters +in childhood, why shouldn't some of us, at least on occasion, be able to +imagine similar things as adults? + +There's a common, although insufficiently well known, psychological +syndrome very much like alien abduction: Many people have experienced +sleep paralysis. On falling asleep or when waking up - just for a few +seconds, or maybe for longer periods - you seem to be paralyzed and +acutely anxious. You may feel a weight on your chest, your heartbeat is +quick, your breathing labored. You may experience auditory or visual +hallucinations - of people, demons, ghosts, animals or birds. In the right +setting the experience can have "the full force and impact of reality," +according to Dr. Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of +Kentucky. Sometimes there's a marked sexual component to the +hallucination. + +Baker has forcefully argued that these common sleep disturbances are +behind many if not most of the alien abduction accounts. (He and others +suggest that some abduction claims are also made by fantasy-prone +individuals or hoaxers seeking fame and fortune.) Even if no known +hallucinations were to fit the alien abduction pattern, it's certain that +humans commonly hallucinate. There's considerable doubt about whether +extraterrestrials exist and frequently visit our planet. We may argue +about details, but the one category of explanation seems much better +supported than the other. The main reservation you might then have is: Why +do so many people report _THIS PARTICULAR_ set of hallucinations? Why +little gray beings and flying saucers and sexual molestation? + +Demons, the early Church Fathers taught, come down from heaven and have +unlawful sexual congress with women. St. Augustine believed witches were +the offspring of these forbidden unions. In his famous Bull of 1484, Pope +Innocent VIII declared: "It has come to Our ears that members of both +sexes do not avoid to have intercourse with evil angels, incubi, and +succubi, and that by their sorceries, and by their incantations, charms, +and conjurations, they suffocate, extinguish, and cause to perish the +births of women," as well as cause sundry other calamities. With this +Bull, Innocent initiated the systematic accusation, torture, and execution +of countless "witches" all over Europe. + +Two inquisitors appointed by Innocent declared: "Devils...busy themselves +by interfering with the normal process of normal copulation and +conception, by obtaining human semen, and themselves transferring it. + The offspring of these demonic unions are also, when they grow up, +visited by devils - although not all witches are created this way. And +witches were well known to fly through the air. There is no spaceship, but +most of the essential elements of the alien abduction story are here. + +In 1645, a Cornish teenager, Anne Jeffries, was found groggy and crumpled +on the floor. much later, she recalled being attacked by little men, +carried paralyzed to a castle in the air, seduced and returned home. she +called the little men fairies. They returned to torment her. The next year +she was arrested for witchcraft. Fairies traditionally have magical powers +and can cause paralysis by the merest touch. The ordinary passage of time +is slowed in fairyland. Fairies have sex with humans and carry off babies +from their cradles. If Anne Jeffries had known about aliens rather than +fairies, and UFOs rather than castles in the air, would her story have +been distinguishable from the one "abductees" tell? + +Is it possible that people in all times and places occasionally experience +vivid, realistic hallucinations, often with sexual content - with the +details filled in by the prevailing cultural idioms, sucked out of the +Zeitgeist? When everyone knows that gods regularly come down to Earth, we +hallucinate gods; when everyone knows about demons, it's incubi and +succubi; when fairies are widely believed, we see fairies; when the old +myths fade and we begin thinking that aliens are plausible, then that's +where our hypnogogic imagery tends. Snatches of songs or foreign +languages, images and stories we witnessed in our childhood can be +accurately recalled decades later without any conscious memory of the +source. In our everyday life, we effortlessly incorporate cultural motifs +and norms and make them seem our own. + +Today, aliens are the subject of innumerable science-fiction stories and +novels. UFOs are a regular feature of weekly newspapers dedicated to +falsification and mystification. One of the highest-grossing motion +pictures of all time is about aliens very much like those described by +abductees. Alien abduction stories were comparatively rare until 1987, +when a purported firsthand account with a haunting cover painting of an +"alien" became a best-seller. It is striking how similar many of the +abduction accounts are now, and how little we hear about incubi and +fairies. But it might not be altogether surprising that, in our time and +society, short, gray aliens with breeding programs on their minds are what +we mainly reach for when we must describe these hallucinations. + +No one would be happier than I would if we had real evidence of +extraterrestrial life. But the issue comes down to the quality of the +evidence. Proponents of alien abductions do not ask us to believe on +faith, but rather on the strength of their evidence. Surely it is our duty +to examine the purported evidence closely and skeptically. _NO_ anecdotal +claim - no matter how sincere, no matter how deeply felt, no matter how +exemplary the lives of the attesting citizens - carries much weight on so +important a question. As with the older UFO cases, anecdotal accounts are +subject to irreducible error. This is not a criticism of those who claim +abductions or of those who investigate them. It is merely a statement of +human fallibility. + +Where is the physical evidence? Some abductees allege that aliens stole +fetuses from their wombs. This is something that would surely cause a stir +among gynecologists, midwives, obstetrical nurses, especially in an age of +heightened feminist awareness. But not a SINGLE MEDICAL RECORD has been +produced substantiating such claims. + +Some abductees say that tiny metallic implants were inserted into their +bodies - high up in their nostrils, for example. But no such implants have +been confirmed by physicists or chemists as being of unearthly +manufacture. No abductee has filched a page from the captain's logbook or +a strange examining instrument, or taken an authentic photograph of the +interior of the ship or come back with detailed scientific information not +hithero known on Earth. These failures tell us something. + +If indeed the bulk of the alien abduction accounts are really about +hallucinations, don't we have before us a matter of supreme importance - +touching on our limitations, the ease with which we may be misled, the +fashioning of our beliefs and perhaps even the origins of our religions? +There is genuine scientific paydirt in UFOs and alien abductions - but it +is, I think, of distinctly terrestrial origin. + +--------------------------------- + +Carl Sagan of Cornell University has played a leading role in the search +for extraterrestrial life with spacecraft and radio telescopes.

"You can see a +professional. There's medication to help you. I can't call 911 +when I'm abducted." + + Whether you believe in extraterrestrial life, Clare Holcomb, 47, +and Diana Graves, 44, are very real.

She arrived home more +than an hour later than usual, her ear lobes were inflamed and +bleeding, and her pierced earrings had been inserted backwards. + + "I assumed I had had a nervous breakdown," she says. + + The memory, which Holcomb retrieved about a year ago, sparked +flashbacks of regular abductions -- sometimes weekly -- dating back +to childhood. + + The flashbacks, which Holcomb illustrates in ink drawings, feature +short, pale beings with hollow eyes and long fingers without +joints. Many scenes are set in high-tech modules. And many +memories feature Graves. + + Even though the women grew up far apart -- Holcomb in Virginia, +Graves in England and Rhode Island -- they believe they were +abducted together as children and are certain they were fated by +alien forces to meet again as adults. + + Eight years ago, Graves, who owns Moonraker, placed a newspaper ad +for a farmhand, Holcomb answered. + + "We could never have met under normal circumstances," says +Holcomb, who is divorced and has a grown son. "We have countless +memories of childhood instances in `their' presence." + + Six months after Holcomb began remembering her abductions, Graves +began having flashbacks, too. These days, the women say they are +frequently abducted together. + + "They've threatened that someday they'll take us and we're not +coming back," says Graves, a policy analyst for the U.S. Forest +Service. + + Until now, neither woman has spoken publicly about the abductions: +They fear ridicule from disbelievers and retribution from the +aliens. + + But both feel now is the time to talk, though they can't +articulate why. + + How do these women live fearing they"ll be snatched at any moment? + + Both have sought professional help. + + A year ago, Holcomb consulted David Ruxer, a Fairfax, Va., +clinical psychologist who has treated a dozen UFO abductees. + + Ruxer says abductees often display anxiety, depression and +flashbacks, symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress. + + "It's not really a post-traumatic stress because it is an on-going +stress," he says.

LIST GROWS + +By Nicole Brodeur (Orange County Register) + + This is a hard story for C.C. Peters to tell. + She drains her coffee cup a third time, lights a cigarette. +The smoke comes first, then the words. + "When I was 7 years old, I had this dream..." Ms. Peters stops +and levels a look across the kitchen table. "That's what I was told; that +it was a dream," she says. "That's what I believed at the time." + Now, 26 years later, the housewife believes something else: She +was abducted by aliens. + They came to her home in New Jersey, she says. Three of them, +each just over 3 feet tall, appeared at the base of her bed and asked- +telepathically-to play with her toys. + She remembers feeling woozy, then hearing a crunching sound, "like +someone taking a bite out of an apple," and feeling a sharp pain in her +nose. + She remembers floating: out of her bedroom window, over trees in her +front yard and into a round room, where she saw her mother lying on a +floating table, being examined by aliens. + She remembers an alien - a scientist of some sort - taking her into +another room, where "hybrid babies" sat like shoes in boxes in three rows +against the wall. + Finally, she was taken into a room filled with blinding white +light, where she encountered a feminine entity who exuded overwhelming +wisdom. + The next morning, Ms. Peters says, she awoke with leaves and twigs +in her bed. To this day, she believes she ripped them from the treetops as +she passed over them - evidence of her journey. + It's an incredible tale, but a familiar one to the people in the +abductee community, as active and organized as any PTA and growing all the +time. + "Definitely growing," says Debbie Kenna, a Fullerton, California, +hypnotherapist with 75 clients who believe they were abducted. "As more +comes out, people are beginning to educate themselves and become aware +of the possibility of abduction. + "Before, they may have thought they were going crazy." + At monthly support groups, people meet to talk about their +abductions. They also attend conferences and workshops to gather information +on the phenomenon. And the Psynetics Foundation in Anaheim, California, +hosts regular "abductee night," when stories are shared and discussed. + Abductees are all kinds of people. Professional and poor. Vocal +and silent. Believers and debunkers, and those who will wonder all their +lives. + "Abductees always seem to be simple, innocent people who have had +no prior interest in the subject," Ms. Kenna says. "Abduction is like an +awakening; a massive consciousness shift." + For Ms. Peters (not her real name), though, the abduction has meant +upheavals in an otherwise normal life: The daughter of well-to-do, loving +parents, she attended private schools and spent her summers in Europe. Now +33, she lives witrh her husband and young son in a sprawling home overlooking +Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano, California. + "I know all this sounds crazy," Ms. Peters says again. "I know +it. And I keep wondering, `Why me? I'm just a housewife!'" + Most psychiatrists - as well as noted scientist Carl Sagan - believe +alleged abductions are simple hallucinations, bouts of fitful slumber when +a person is thrashing about in bed, half awake but still dreaming of lights +and almond-eyed beings. + "People can be absolutely convinced that aliens are kidnapping +them," says Dr. Robert Baker, professor emeritus of psychology of the +University of Kentucky. "It's an old science-fiction theme." + But Harvard University psychologist Dr. John Mack disagrees. Dr. +Mack, founder of the psychiatry department at Cambridge (Mass.) Hospital and +winner of a 1977 Pulitzer Prize for his psychoanalytic biography of T. E. +Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), has investigated almost 70 alleged abductions +and conducted hundreds of hours of interviews and treatment. + "When memories come back like that, I never have any question that +people are describing something that has authentically happened to them," +he told the Boston Globe in 1992. "No one has been able to come up with a +counterformulation that explains what's going on." + The number of people who think they've been abducted is hard to +gauge. + However, a 1992 Roper poll of nearly 6,000 U.S. adults showed that +lots of people believe they've had alien encouters. The poll was funded by +Las Vegas developer Robert Bigelow and comissioned by a group of people who +believe in alien abduction, including author Budd Hopkins and Temple +University professor Dr. David Jacobs. + The questionnaire contained queries as benign as "Have you +experienced self-esteem problems?" and as off-the-wall as "Has someone in +your life claimed to have witnessed a ship or alien near you or witnessed +you being gone?" + The conclusion: Two percent of all Americans believe they have +been abducted, many repeatedly, by beings from another world. + Impossible, says Dr. William Cone, a Newport Beach, California, +psychologist who specializes in treating alleged abduction cases. + "There is no data. But I really, honestly think it's very few +people." + A former marriage and family couselor, Dr. Cone developed an +interest in alien abductions after reading Whitley Strieber's "Communion," +a 1987 best seller that brought the idea of alien abduction into the +mainstream. + "This wasn't my game plan, to spend my career on the fringe," Dr. +Cone says with a smile. "But if you think you've been abducted, you come +to me." + +HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES + + Abductees compare their experiences to that of rape victims: taken +against their will, undressed and examined by strangers, then returned to +their lives shaken, scared and dysfunctional. Many suffer post-traumatic +stress, sleep and sexual problems, and have trouble maintaining jobs or +relationships. + "There's no self-help book for abductees," Dr. Cone says. "I just +try to make the experience a piece of their life, rather than their whole +life. I de-stress them, give them coping skills and help them to function +as humans again." + Some clients are children, as young as age 4, who tell Dr. Cone of +their trips aboard spacecraft with "snowmen," "doctors," and "little +friends" hovering around them. + "The parents are completely freaked out," Dr. Cone says. + Does he believe their stories? + "I don't disbelieve anything. I'm interested in paranormal +experiences, but I have no way of verifying their stories." + The abductees' stories are intriguing in their similarity. + The most common symptom is missing time - one to several hours +when they cannot account for their whereabouts. + Abductees also suffer from sleep paralysis, a condition in which +they remember being awake in bed but unable to move. Some feel heavy weight +on their chests, as if something is sitting on them. + Once paralyzed, abductees see aliens - about 3 feet tall, with +almond-shaped eyes and gray bodies - before them. + The aliens take the abductees from their homes or cars and lead +them aboard a spacecraft, put them on a table in a round room and subject +them to what appear to be medical procedures. + "At times, these `examinations' are very painful," Dr. Cone says. +"Some people have also reported other humans involved in their abductions, +some in military uniforms." + Russ Estes - a San Diego-based producer who, with Dr. Cone, has +interviewed at least 100 abductees for a documentary on the phenomenon - says +the similarities of the stories were "absolutely astounding." + "Granted, the media has brought a heck of a lot of information to +the public, but even the smallest details are highly similar," Mr. Estes +says. + Does he believe them? + "Tough question," Mr. Estes says. "I don't disbelieve them. Most +people have no reason to lie. And why would they subject themselves to +ridicule?" + +JUST DAYDREAMS + + Dr. Baker, of the University of Kentucky's department of psychology, +believes abduction stories are "a false belief or delusion." + "These are hoaxes!" he bellows in a recent telephone interview. +"Every one of these things that (abductees) take as evidence of something +strange going on, of aliens abducting 3 to 4 million people annually...every +one of the things they argue can easily be explained with a simple +understanding of human psychology. + "We all daydream," he says. "We read a page when we are tired and +can't remember a thing we have read." + Sleep paralysis is common too. "When you're half awake and half +asleep and see, for example, balls of light coming at you from the walls. +These people aren't crazy, because the paralysis is real," Dr. Baker says. + What about scars and scoop marks abductees bear as proof of their +experience? + "Those can be done at night by fingernails and toenails," he says. +"We do that to ourselves all the time. In no way do we have any physical +evidence that it can be established and agreed upon by competent scientists +that we have ever had any visitations by extraterrestials," he says. + All of which means nothing to the members of the Out There Group, +a gathering of 24 alleged abductees ages 10 to 56.

Like animal +carcasses with eyes or sexual organs removed or like circles on rural land +that cows mysteriously avoid, all of which some people attribute to +celestial interlopers for lack of other explanations. + Philip Klass blames it on a kind of extra-terrestrial baloney +sandwich beamed directly into people's brains by tabloids, talk +shows, books and movies. Despite the huge numbers of people who +have seen UFOs or their creators, not one lug nut from an +interplanetary craft has been recovered. + Klass, publisher of the Skeptics UFO Newsletter, said the +National Enquirer offered $1 million and a British liquor magnate +offered about $2.8 million for any hard evidence. Zilch. + Klass is a former senior avionics editor for Aviation Week & +Space Technology magazine and still writes for the magazine.

For the Choctaw couple and their two young +daughters, it all began on a clear fall night on a South Dakota highway in +1992 on a trip to Montana. + That's where, the parents say, a mysterious craft that had followed them +for miles made its close encounter and "interacted" with the family. On +their living room wall, framed in oak, hang a half dozen enlarged glossy +photos of what they say is the craft, or at least light from it. + What's obvious is only a chunk of roadway, with three dots or +squiggles of light in the darkness. + Joel's brother called MUFON about it. MUFON suggested hypnosis. +And, like many others, the Delanos discovered under this altered +state that they too had been abducted. + Those abducted often have difficulties with their marriages, as +spouses assume they're Lost in Space without a shuttle. It helped +lead to Seifried's divorce from a former wife. + "I thought this is how you felt before you went into the nut +house," Carilee Delano recalls of her first reaction to her +husband's abduction "memory." After accepting it, the Mary Kay +cosmetics representative began viewing the incident "like it was a +rape." + "This is getting into the Looney Toons area," Joel said, +worrying about what all this sounds like. + During four sessions of hypnosis, at $35 apiece, Joel recalled: "I felt +a levitation up. I felt I was in a room, foggy, my legs paralyzed." + The construction worker saw beings with large heads, thin necks and +"large black eyes staring at me. Images, images, images," he says, gazing +at the wall as he searches for words. + "In my mind it really happened," he said. + Now the Delanos feel the beings were "obviously corresponding +with us." Although they had no specific message, Joel says since +then he's had a lot of thoughts about evolution and creation. The +Delanos are convinced the aliens have been back. Several times. + "I feel we've had visitations here at the house," Joel said. + Strange things like nightmares and flashes in the sky around +their rural acreage provide clues, they say. That plus hypnosis +that revealed "a being sitting beside my bed," Joel said. + Joel, 43, also figures "I was medically altered" because dizzy +spells and a nagging cough he used to have disappeared. + They fear their daughters are involved in this pattern of +experiments and visits, since they have bad dreams too. "You're +helpless," Carilee, 33, said."Our children probably are genetically +altered." + Chana Sue, 9, lacing up sneakers for a basketball game, said she +didn't know what the family saw that night in South Dakota. Her +mother shows a crude drawing Chana Sue did of a pear-shaped craft +with a row of windows on it. + Carilee said that's the craft she saw in a dream. Joel said he +saw that shape while under hypnosis. + Asked how the figure came to her, Chana Sue explained, "That's +always been what I thought they (UFOs) looked like." + Joel's sister once saw an alien in her room in Tulsa and his +mother in Arkansas saw a UFO too. + Emily (not her real name) is another Oklahoman abducted by +aliens. Or who believes she was. + Married with two kids, the 36-year-old maternity nurse recalled +being awakened by a strange red light and noises when she was 7. +She was living in New Hampshire. + Under hypnosis, she further remembered "floating up in a light +with my cousin beside me." She was paralyzed, as beings in the fuzzy +memory "apply pressure to the back of my head" and work with a long +instrument with a ball on the end of it. + During another hypnosis session, she remembered at age 11 waking +to "a dark hand over my face in the middle of the night." She +closed her eyes and prayed, shaking until it was gone. She counts a +total of four alien abductions. + "It's pretty crazy," she says. + +Memories or Metaphors + + Many have stirred these images with the help of Jean E. Byrne, a +Norman nurse who works in home health care most of the time. Byrne +also is trained in massage and hypnotherapy, studying at the American +Institute of Hypnotherapy and at the Association of Research and +Enlightenment. + She said the "scariest part" of hypnotherapy on UFO cases is +"when we work with children. They're just terrified." Kids who +apparently have been abducted by aliens have been known to refer to +them as "Big Boy" or "the one who comes ... at night and takes her +to the ball in the sky." + Dr. Vernon Enlow, Oklahoma City psychologist who uses hynposis, +said there is a raging controversy over "created memories," ideas +subtly planted in subjects' minds by hypnotists. + Byrne said she is aware subjects are very receptive to suggestion. And +these days, "there's so much of what we call contamination," that is +reading, hearing or seeing films about aliens then thinking it happened to +them. "You don't know how much of that is real memory," she said. + Enlow said stories elicited under hypnosis aren't necessarily true, even +though subjects believe them and the therapist doesn't suggest them. They +can be "a metaphor" for something else. + "Hypnosis is not a truth serum," he said. "Hypnotism can sometimes +release a lot of creativity." Any therapist who encounters numerous people +believing UFO abductions would cause him to wonder. Wonder is about all +most people do with UFOs. + Tom Renbarger, 42, graphic artist for the state Department of +Transportation, said his interest in UFO stuff is more "a social +phenomenon." + "I think it sort of fills a need for some people to have something +supernatural or something to believe in," he said. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Schiff (R-NM), the +General Accounting Office in February 1994 initiated an audit to +locate all records related to the Roswell incident and to +determine if such records were properly handled. The GAO audit +entitled "Records Management Procedures Dealing With Weather +Balloon, Unknown Aircraft, and Similar Crash Incidents" is not +yet complete. + +The GAO audit involved a number of government agencies but +focused on the Air Force. In support of the GAO effort, the Air +Force initiated a systematic search of current Air Force offices +as well as numerous archives and records centers that might help +explain the incident.

Information +obtained through exhaustive records searches and interviews +indicated the material recovered near Roswell was consistent with +a balloon device of the type used in a then-classified project. +No records indicated or even hinted at the recovery of "alien" +bodies or extraterrestrial materials. + +All documentation related to this case is now declassified and +the information is in the public domain.

In February, 1994, the General Accounting +Office (GAO), acting on the request of a New Mexico Congressman, +initiated an audit to attempt to locate records of such an +incident and to determine if records regarding it were properly +handled. Although the GAO effort was to look at a number of +government agencies, the apparent focus was the Air Force. +SAF/AAZ, as the Central Point of Contact for the GAO in this +matter, initiated a systematic search of current Air Force +offices as well as numerous archives and records centers that +might help explain this matter. Research revealed that the +"Roswell Incident" was not even considered a UFO event until the +1978-1980 time frame. Prior to that, the incident was dismissed +because the AAF originally identified the debris recovered as +being that of a weather balloon. Subsequently, various authors +wrote a number of books claiming that, not only was debris from +an alien spacecraft recovered, but also the bodies of the craft's +alien occupants. These claims continue to evolve today and the +Air Force is now routinely accused of engaging in a "cover-up" of +this supposed event. + +The research located no records at existing Air Force offices +that indicated any "cover-up" by the USAF or any indication of +such a recovery. Consequently, efforts were intensified by Air +Force researchers at numerous locations where records for the +period in question were stored. The records reviewed did not +reveal any increase in operations, security, or any other +activity in July, 1947, that indicated any such unusual event may +have occurred. Records were located and thoroughly explored +concerning a then-TOP SECRET balloon project, designed to attempt +to monitor Soviet nuclear tests, known as Project Mogul. +Additionally, several surviving project personnel were located +and interviewed, as was the only surviving person who recovered +debris from the original Roswell site in 1947, and the former +officer who initially identified the wreckage as a balloon. +Comparison of all information developed or obtained indicated +that the material recovered near Roswell was consistent with a +balloon device and most likely from one of the Mogul balloons +that had not been previously recovered. Air Force research +efforts did not disclose any records of the recovery of any +"alien" bodies or extraterrestrial materials. + +INTRODUCTION + +Air Force involvement in the alleged UFO-related incident +popularly known as the "Roswell Incident" began as the result of +a January 14, 1994, WASHINGTON POST article (Atch 1) which +announced Congressman Steven Schiff's intent to initiate a +General Accounting Office (GAO) effort to resolve this +controversial matter. Having previously been involved in +numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Congressional +requests on "unusual aircraft," to include Unidentified Flying +Objects (UFOs), The Director, Security and Special Program +Oversight, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, (SAF/AAZ) +believed the Air Force would become involved in any GAO effort +involving this subject. + +Thus, in late January, 1994, SAF/AAZ directed its +research/declassification team, SAF/AAZD, to attempt to locate +any official records relative to this matter. These initial +research efforts focused on records at the Air Force Historical +Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the Air Force Safety +Agency (AFSA) at Kirtland AFB, NM and the National Archives and +Records Administration (NARA). + +On February 15, 1994, the GAO officially notified Secretary of +Defense William J. Perry that, it was initiating an audit of the +Department of Defense (DoD) policies and procedures for +acquiring, classifying, retaining, and disposing of official +government documents dealing with weather balloon, aircraft, and +similar crash incidents (Atch 2). This notification was +subsequently passed to the Department of Defense Inspector +General who in turn officially notified the Secretaries of the +Services and other affected parties of the audit in a February +23, 1994, memo (Atch 3). This memorandum indicated that the "GAO +is anxious to respond to Representative Schiff's request and to +dispel any concerns that the DoD is being unresponsive." These +were the first official US Government documents that indicated +that the purpose of the GAO was to review "crash incidents +involving weather balloons and unknown aircraft, such as UFOs and +foreign aircraft, and (2) the facts involving the reported crash +of an UFO in 1949 (sic, 1947) at Roswell, New Mexico...(and an) +alleged DoD cover-up." + +An entrance meeting of potentially concerned parties was held in +the offices of the DoD Inspector General on February 28, 1994. +During this meeting it was learned that, while the audit would +officially be reviewing the records of a number of DoD (and +possibly other Executive Branch entities), the bulk of the effort +would be focused on Air Force records and systems. The audit was +officially given the GAO code 701034, and entitled "Records +Management Procedures Dealing With Weather Balloon, Unknown +Aircraft, and Similar Crash Incidents." Although this official +title appeared rather broad, there was no misunderstanding that +the real purpose was to attempt to locate records and/or +information on the "Roswell Incident." This incident, explained +later in more detail, generally dealt with the claim that in July +of 1947, the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) recovered a flying saucer +and/or its alien occupants which supposedly crashed near Roswell, +New Mexico. When the USAAF ultimately became the United States +Air Force (USAF) in September, 1947, the USAF inherited +equipment, personnel, records, policies, and procedures from the +AAF. In this particular case, the Air Force also inherited the +allegation that it had "covered up" the "Roswell Incident" and +has continued to do so for the next 47 years. + +Within the Air Force, the Office of the Administrative Assistant +to the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF/AA) is responsible both +for information management procedures (SAF/AAI) and security +policy and oversight (SAF/AAZ). Because of this organization, +SAF/AAZ was the logical entity to assist the GAO in its audit and +SAF/AAZ was officially named as the Central Point of Contact for +this endeavor (Atch 4). Subsequently, the then-Administrative +Assistant, Mr. Robert J. McCormick, issued a tasking memorandum +dated March 1, 1994 (Atch 5), to a number of current Air Staff +and Secretariat offices that might possibly have records related +to such an incident if, indeed, something had actually occurred. +This search for records was purposely limited to Air Force +records and systems since: +(a) The Air Force had no authority to compel other agencies to +review their records; +(b) The Air Force would have no way to monitor the completeness +of their efforts if they did; and +(c) the overall effort was the task and responsibility of the GAO +-- not the Air Force. + +During the in-briefing process with GAO, it was learned that this +audit was, indeed, generated at the specific request of +Congressman Steven Schiff of New Mexico. Earlier, Congressman +Schiff had written to the Department of Defense Legislative +Liaison Office for information on the "Roswell Incident" and had +been advised that it was part of the former UFO "Project +Bluebook" that had previously been turned over to NARA by the Air +Force. Congressman Schiff subsequently learned from NARA that, +although they did, indeed, have the "Bluebook" materials, the +"Roswell Incident" was not part of that report. Congressman +Schiff, apparently perceiving that he had been "stonewalled" by +the DoD, then generated the request for the aforementioned audit. + +It is within this context that the following research and +assistance efforts were conducted in support of the GAO. This +report is intended to stand as the final official Air Force +response regarding this matter. + +THE "ROSWELL INCIDENT" -- WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY REPORTED IN 1947 + +The modern preoccupation with what ultimately came to be called +Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) actually began in June, 1947. +Although some pro-UFO researchers argue that sightings of UFOs go +back to Biblical times, most researchers will not dispute that +anything in UFO history can compare with the phenomenon that +began in 1947. What was later characterized as "the UFO WAve of +1947" began with 16 alleged sightings that occurred between May +17 and July 12, 1947, (although some researchers claim there were +as many as 800 sightings during that period). Interestingly, the +"Roswell Incident" was not considered one of these 1947 events +until the 1978-80 time frame. There is no dispute, however, that +something happened near Roswell in July, 1947, since it was +reported in a number of contemporary newspaper articles; the most +famous of which were the July 8 and July 9 editions of the +ROSWELL DAILY RECORD. The July 8 edition reported "RAAF Captures +Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell Region," while the next day's +edition reported, "Ramey Empties Roswell Saucer" and "Harassed +Rancher Who Located 'Saucer' Sorry He Told About It." + +The first story reported that the Intelligence Officer of the +509th Bomb Group, stationed at Roswell AAF, Major Jesse A. +Marcel, had recovered a "flying disc" from the range lands of an +unidentified rancher in the vicinity of Roswell and that the disc +had been "flown to higher headquarters." That same story also +reported that a Roswell couple claimed to have seen a large +unidentified object fly by their home on July 2, 1947. + +The July 9 edition of the paper noted that Brigadier General +Roger Ramey, Commander of the Eighth Air Force at Forth Worth, +Texas, stated that upon examination the debris recovered by +Marcel was determined to be a weather balloon. The wreckage was +described as a "...bundle of tinfoil, broken wood beams, and +rubber remnants of a balloon...." The additional story of the +"harassed rancher" identified him as W.W. Brazel of Lincoln +County, New Mexico. He claimed that he and his son, Vernon, +found the material on June 14, 1947, when they "came upon a large +area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a +rather tough paper, and sticks." He picked up some of the debris +on July 4 and "...the next day he first heard about the flying +discs and wondered if what he had found might have been the +remnants of one of these." Brazel subsequently went to Roswell +on July 7 and contacted the Sheriff, who apparently notified +Major Marcel. Major Marcel and "a man in plain clothes" then +accompanied Brazel home to pick up the rest of the pieces. The +article further related that Brazel thought that the material: + +"...might have been as large as a table top. The balloon which +held it up, if that is how it worked, must have been about 12 +feet long, he felt, measuring the distance by the size of the +room in which he sat. The rubber was smoky gray in color and +scattered over an area about 200 yards in diameter. When the +debris was gathered up the tinfoil, paper, tape, and sticks made +a bundle about three feet long and 7 or 8 inches thick, while the +rubber made a bundle about 18 or 20 inches long and about 8 +inches thick. In all, he estimated, the entire lot would have +weighed maybe five pounds. There was no sign of any metal in the +area which might have been used for an engine and no sign of any +propellers of any kind. Although at least one paper fin had been +glued onto some of the tinfoil. There were no words to be found +anywhere on the instrument although there were letters on some of +the parts. Considerable scotch tape and some tape with flowers +printed upon it had been used in the construction. No string or +wire were to be found but there were some eyelets in the paper to +indicate that some sort of attachment may have been used. Brazel +said that he had previously found two weather balloons on the +ranch, but that what he found this time did not in any way +resemble either of these." + +EVOLUTION OF THE EVENT FROM 1947 TO THE PRESENT + +General Rarney's press conference and rancher Brazel's statement +effectively ended this as a UFO-related matter until 1978, +although some UFO researchers argue that there were several +obtuse references to it in 1950's era literature. Roswell, for +example, is not referred to in the official USAF investigation of +UFOs reported in Project Bluebook or its predecessors, Project +Sign and Project Grudge, which ran from 1948-1969 (which +Congressman Schiff subsequently learned when he made his original +inquiry). + +In 1978, an article appeared in a tabloid newspaper, the NATIONAL +INQUIRER, which reported the former intelligence officer, Marcel, +claimed that he had recovered UFO debris near Roswell in 1947. +Also in 1978, a UFO researcher, Stanton Friedman, met with Marcel +and began investigating the claims that the material Marcel +handled was from a crashed UFO. Similarly, two authors, William +L. Moore and Charles Berlitz, also engaged in research which led +them to publish a book, THE ROSWELL INCIDENT, in 1980. In this +book they reported they interviewed a number of persons who +claimed to have been present at Roswell in 1947 and professed to +be either first or second hand witnesses to strange events that +supposedly occurred. Since 1978-1980, other UFO researchers, +most notably Donald Schmitt and Kevin Randle, claim to have +located and interviewed even more persons with supposed knowledge +of unusual happenings at Roswell. These included both civilian +and former military persons. + +Additionally, the Robert Stack-hosted television show "Unsolved +Mysteries" devoted a large portion of one show to a "re-creation" +of the supposed Roswell events. Numerous other television shows +have done likewise, particularly during the last several years +and a made-for-TV movie on the subject is due to be released this +summer. The overall thrust of these articles, books and shows is +that the "Roswell Incident" was actually the crash of a craft +from another world, the US Government recovered it, and has been +"covering up" this fact from the Arnerican public since 1947, +using a combination of disinformation, ridicule, and threats of +bodily harm, to do so. Generally, the US Air Force bears the +brunt of these accusations. + +From the rather benign description of the "event" and the +recovery of some material as described in the original newspaper +accounts, the "Roswell Incident" has since grown to mythical (if +not mystical) proportions in the eyes and minds of some +researchers, portions of the media and at least part of the +American public. There are also now several major variations of +the "Roswell story." For exarnple, it was originally reported +that there was only recovery of debris from one site. This has +since grown from a minimal amount of debris recovered from a +small area to airplane loads of debris from multiple huge "debris +fields." Likewise, the relatively simple description of sticks, +paper, tape and tinfoil has since grown to exotic metals with +hieroglyphics and fiber optic-like materials. Most versions now +claim that there were two crash sites where debris was recovered; +and at the second site, alleged bodies of extraterrestrial aliens +were supposedly retrieved. The number of these "alien bodies" +recovered also varied. These claims are further complicated by +the fact that UFO researchers are not in agreement among +themselves as to exactly where these recovery sites were located +or even the dates of the alleged crash(es). + +Consistently, however, the AAF was accused of securing these +sites, recovering all the material therefrom, keeping locals +away, and returning the recovered wreckage (and bodies) to +Roswell under extremely tight security for further processing and +later exploitation. + +Once back at Roswell AAF, it is generally alleged that special +measures were taken to notify higher headquarters and +arrangements made to have recovered materials shipped to other +locations for analysis. These locations include Ft. Worth, +Texas, the home of the Eighth Air Force Headquarters; possibly +Sandia Base (now Kirtland AFB), New Mexico; possibly Andrews AAF, +Maryland, and always to Wright Field, now known as Wright- +Patterson AFB, Ohio. The latter location was the home of "T-2" +which later became known as the Air Technical Intelligence Center +(ATIC) and the Air Materiel Command (AMC), and would, in fact, be +a logical location to study unknown materials from whatever +origin. Most of the Roswell stories that contain the recovery of +alien bodies also show them being shipped to Wright Field. Once +the material and bodies were dispersed for further analysis +and/or exploitation, the government in general, and the Army Air +Forces in particular, then engaged in covering up all information +relating to the alleged crash and recovery, including the use of +security oaths to military persons and the use of coercion +(including alleged death threats) to others. This, as theorized +by some UFO researchers, has allowed the government to keep the +fact that there is intelligent extraterrestrial life from the +American public for 47 years. It also supposedly allowed the US +Government to exploit recovered extraterrestrial materials by +reverse engineering them, ultimately providing such things as +fiber optic and stealth technology. The "death threats," oaths, +and other forms of coercion alleged to have been meted out by the +Army Air Forces personnel to keep people from talking have +apparently not been very effective, as several hundred people are +claimed to have come forward (without harm) with some knowledge +of the "Roswell Incident" during interviews with non-government +researchers and the media. + +Adding some measure of credibility to the claims that have arisen +since 1978 is the apparent depth of research of some of the +authors and the extent of their efforts. Their claims are +lessened somewhat, however, by the fact that almost all their +information came from verbal reports many years after the alleged +incident occurred. Many of the persons interviewed were, in +fact, stationed at, or lived near Roswell during the time in +question, and a number of them claim military service. Most, +however, related their stories in their older years, well after +the fact. In other cases, the information provided is second or +third-hand, having been passed through a friend or relative after +the principal had died. What is uniquely lacking in the entire +exploration and exploitation of the "Roswell Incident" is +official positive documentary or physical evidence of any kind +that supports the claims of those who allege that something +unusual happened. Conversely, there has never been any previous +documentary evidence produced by those who would debunk the +incident to show that something did not happen; although logic +dictates that bureaucracies do not spend time documenting non- +events. + +SEARCH STRATEGY AND METHODOLOGY + +To insure senior Air Force leadership that there were no hidden +or overlooked files that might relate to the "Roswell Incident;" +and to provide the GAO with the best and most complete +information available, SAF/AAZ constructed a strategy based on +direct tasking from the Office of the Secretary, to elicit +information from those functional offices and organizations where +such information might logically be contained. This included +directing searches at current offices where special or unusual +projects might be carried out, as well as historical +organizations, archives, and records centers over which the Air +Force exerted some degree of control. Researchers did not, +however, go to the US Army to review historical records in areas +such as missile launches from White Sands, or to the Department +of Energy to determine if its forerunner, the Atomic Energy +Commission, had any records of nuclear-related incidents that +might have occurred at or near Roswell in 1947. To do so would +have encroached on GAO's charter in this matter. What Air Force +researchers did do, however, was to search for records still +under Air Force control pertaining to these subject areas. + +In order to determine parameters for the most productive search +of records, a review was first conducted of the major works +regarding the "Roswell Incident" available in the popular +literature. These works included: THE ROSWELL INCIDENT, (1980) +by William Moore and Charles Berlitz; "Crashed Saucers: Evidence +in Search of Proof," (1985) by Moore; THE UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL, +(1991) by Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt; THE TRUTH ABOUT THE +UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL, (1994) also by Randle and Schmitt; THE +ROSWELL REPORT: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, (1991), George M. +Eberhart, Editor; "The Roswell Events," (1993) compiled by Fred +Whiting; CRASH AT CORONA (1992) by Stanton T. Friedman and Don +Berliner, as well as numerous other articles written by a +combination of the above and other researchers. Collectively, +the above represent the "pro" UFO writers who allege that the +government is engaged in a conspiracy. There are no specific +books written entirely on the theme that nothing happened at +Roswell. However, Curtis Peebles in WATCH THE SKIES! (1994) +discussed the development ofthe UFO story and growth of +subsequent claims as a phenomenon. There has also been serious +research as well as a number of detailed articles written by so- +called "debunkers" of Roswell and other incidents, most notably +Philip J. Klass who writes THE SKEPTICAL INQUIRER newsletter, and +Robert Todd, a private researcher. The concerns and claims of +all the above authors and others were considered in conducting +the USAF records search. + +It was also decided, particularly after a review of the above +popular literature, that no specific attempt would be made to try +to refute, point by point, the numerous claims made in the +various publications. Many of these claims appear to be hearsay, +undocumented, taken out of context, self-serving, or otherwise +dubious. Additionally, many of the above authors are not even in +agreement over various claims. Most notable of the confusing and +now ever-changing claims is the controversy over the date(s) of +the alleged incident, the exact location(s) of the purported +debris and the extent of the wreckage. Such discrepancies in +claims made the search much more difficult by greatly expanding +the volume of records that had to be searched. + +An example of trying to deal with questionable claims is +illustrated by the following example: One of the popular books +mentioned that was reviewed claimed that the writers had +submitted the names and serial numbers of "over two dozen" +personnel stationed at Roswell in July, 1947, to the Veterans +Administration and the Defense Department to confirm their +military service. They then listed eleven of these persons by +name and asked +the question: "Why does neither the Defense Department nor the +Veteran's +Administration have records of any of these men when we can +document that each served at Roswell Army Air Field." That claim +sounded serious so SAF/AAZD was tasked to check these eleven +names in the Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. Using only +the names (since the authors did not list the serial numbers) the +researcher quickly found records readily identifiable with eight +of these persons. The other three had such common names that +there could have been multiple possibilities. Interestingly, one +of the listed "missing" persons had a casualty report in his +records reflecting that he died in 1951, while the writers +claimed to have interviewed him (or a person of the exact same +name) in 1990. + +While the historical document search was in progress, it was +decided to attempt to locate and interview several persons +identified as still living who could possibly answer questions +generated by the research. This had never been officially done +before, although most of the persons contacted reported that they +had also been contacted in the past by some of the listed authors +or other private researchers. In order to counter possible +future arguments that the persons interviewed were still +"covering up" material because of prior security oaths, the +interviewees were provided with authorization from either the +Secretary of the Air Force or the Senior Security Official of the +Air Force that would officially allow discussion of classified +information, if applicable, or free them from any prior +restriction in discussing the matter, if such existed. Again, +the focus was on interviewing persons that could address specific +issues raised by research and no consideration was given to try +and locate every alleged witness claimed to have been contacted +by the various authors. For example, one of the interviewees +thought vital to obtain an official signed, sworn statement from +was Sheridan Cavitt, Lt Col, USAF (Retired) who is the last +living member of the three persons universally acknowledged to +have recovered material from the Foster Ranch. Others were also +interviewed as information developed (discussed in detail later). +Additionally, in some cases survivors of deceased persons were +also contacted in an attempt to locate various records thought to +have been in the custody of the deceased. + +Even though Air Force research originally started in January, +1994, the first official Air Force-wide tasking was directed by +the March 1, 1994, memorandum from SAF/AA, (Atch 5) and was +addressed to those current Air Staff elements that would be the +likely repository for any records, particularly if there was +anything of an extraordinary nature involved. This meant that +the search was not limited to unclassified materials, but also +would include records of the highest classification and +compartmentation. + +The specific Air Staff/Secretariat offices queried included the +following: +(a) SAF/AAI, Directorate of Information Management +(b) SAF/AQL, Directorate of Electronics and Special Programs +(c) AF/SE, Air Force Safety +(d) AF/HO, Air Force Historian +(e) AF/IN, Air Force Intelligence (including Air Force +Intelligence Agency -- AFIA, and the National Air Intelligence +Center, NAIC) +(f) AF/XOW, Directorate of Weather +(g) (added later) The Air Force Office of Special Investigations +(AFOSI) + +In addition to the above Air Staff and Secretariat offices, +SAF/AAZ also reviewed appropriate classified records for any tie- +in to this matter. With regards to highly classified records, it +should be noted that any programs that employ enhanced security +measures or controls are known as a Special Access Programs +(SAPs). The authority for such programs comes from Executive +Order 12356 and flows from the Department of Defense to the +Services via DoD Directive 5205.7. These programs are +implemented in the Air Force by Policy Directive 16-7, and Air +Force Instruction 16-701. These directives contain detailed +requirements for controlling and reporting, in a very strict +manner, all SAPs. This includes a report from the Secretary of +the Air Force to the Secretary of Defense (and ultimately to +Congress) on all SAPs submitted for approval, and a certification +that there are no "SAP-like" programs being operated. These +reporting requirements are stipulated in public law. + +It followed then, that if the Air Force had recovered some type +of extraterrestrial spacecraft and/or bodies and was exploiting +this for scientific and technology purposes, then such a program +would be operated as a SAP. SAF/AAZ, the Central Office for all +Air Force SAPs, has knowledge of, and security oversight over, +all SAPs. SAF/AAZ categorically stated that no such Special +Access Program(s) exists that pertain to extraterrestrial +spacecraft/aliens. + +Likewise, the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff, +who head the Special Program Oversight Committee which oversees +all sensitive programs in the Air Force, had no knowledge of the +existence of any such program involving, or relating to the +events at Roswell or the alleged technology that supposedly +resulted therefrom. Besides the obvious irregularity and +illegality of keeping such information from the most senior Air +Force officials, it would also be illogical, since these +officials are responsible for obtaining funding for operations, +research, development, and security. Without funding such a +program, operation, or organization could not exist. Even to +keep such a fact "covered-up" in some sort of passive "caretaker +status" would involve money. More importantly, it would involve +people and create paperwork. + +The aforementioned March 1, 1994, SAF/AA tasking generated +negative responses (Atch 6-12) from all recipients; i.e. all +offices reported that they had no information that would explain +the incident. Consequently, these negative responses led to an +increase in the already on-going historical research at records +centers and archives. + +The extensive archival and records center search was +systematically carried out at by the SAF/AAZD Declassification +Review Team. This team is composed entirely of Air Force Reserve +personnel who have extensive training and experience in large +scale review of records. (Previous efforts include the Southeast +Asia Declassification Review, declassification of POW/MIA +records, and the review ofthe Gulf War Air Power Survey records). +The team members all had the requisite security clearances for +classified information and had the authority of the Secretary of +the Air Force to declassify any classified record they found that +might be related to Roswell. SAF/AAZD conducted reviews at a +number of locations, including: the National Archives in +Washington, DC; the National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, +MO; the National Archives, Suitland, MD; the National Records +Center, Suitland, MD; Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC; +Federal Records Center, Ft Worth, TX; the INSCOM Archives, Ft. +Meade, MD; National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC; Air +Force Historical Research Agency, Maxwell AFB, AL; Center for Air +Force History, Bolling AFB, DC; Phillips Laboratory, Hanscom AFB, +MA and Kirtland AFB, NM; Rome Laboratory, Griffiss AFB, NY; and +the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. + +A listing of the specific record areas searched is appended as +Atch 13. The areas included all those subject areas logically +believed to possibly contain any reference to activities at +Roswell AAF during the period of time in question. It is +anticipated that detractors from this effort will complain that +"they did not search record group x, box y, or reel z, etc.; +that's where the real records are!" Such complaints are +unavoidable and there is no +possible way that the millions of records under Air Force control +could be searched page by page. The team endeavored to make +logical searches in those places where records would likely be +found. They were assisted in this task by archivists, +historians, and records management specialists, including +experienced persons who have continually worked in Army and Air +Force records systems since 1943. The team also searched some +record areas that were recommended by serious private researchers +such as Robert Todd, who had independently obtained almost +encyclopedic knowledge of the complexities of Air Force records +systems, particularly as related to this subject area. + +Not surprisingly, the research team found the usual number of +problems in many of the records centers (particularly St. Louis) +with misfiling, lost or misplaced documents, mismarking of +documents, or the breaking up of record groups over the years and +refiling in different systems. This included, for example, a +small amount of missing "decimal files" from the 509th Bomb Group +at Roswell that covered the years 1945-1949, that were marked on +the index as "destroyed." The researchers noted that there was +no pattern to +any anomalies found and that most discrepancies were minor and +consistent with what they had found in the past on similar +projects. + +WHAT THE ROSWELL INCIDENT WAS NOT + +Before discussing specific positive results that these efforts +revealed, it is first appropriate to discuss those things, as +indicated by information available to the Air Force, that the +"Roswell Incident" WAS NOT: + +An Airplane Crash +Of all the things that are documented and tracked within the Air +Force, among the most detailed and scrupulous are airplane +crashes. In fact, records of air crashes go back to the first +years of military flight. Safety records and reports are +available for all crashes that involved serious damage, injury, +death, or a combination of these factors. These records also +include incidents involving experimental or classified aircraft. +USAF records showed that between June 24, 1947, and July 28, +1947, there were five crashes in New Mexico alone, involving A- +26C, P-51N, C-82A, P-80A and PQ-14B aircraft; however, none of +these were on the date(s) in question nor in the area(s) in +question. + +One of the additional areas specifically set forth by GAO in its +efforts was to deal with how the Air Force (and others) +specifically documented "...weather balloon...and other crash +incidents." In this area, the search efforts revealed that there +are no AIR safety records pertaining to weather balloon crashes +(all weather balloons "crash" sooner or later); however, there +are provisions for generating reports of"crashes" as ground +safety incidents in the unlikely chance that a balloon injures +someone or causes damage. However, such records are only +maintained for five years. + +A Missile Crash +A crashed or errant missile, usually described as a captured +German V-2 or one of its variants, is sometimes set forth as a +possible explanation for the debris recovered near Roswell. +Since much of this testing done at nearby White Sands was secret +at the time, it would be logical to assume that the government +would handle any missile mishap under tight security, +particularly if the mishap occurred on private land. From the +records reviewed by the Air Force, however, there was nothing +located to suggest that this was the case. Although the bulk of +remaining testing records are under the control of the US Army, +the subject has also been very well documented over the years +within Air Force records. There would be no reason to keep such +information classified today. The USAF found no indicators or +even hints that a missile was involved in this matter. + +A Nuclear Accident +One of the areas considered was that whatever happened near +Roswell may have involved nuclear weapons. This was a logical +area of concern since the 509th Bomb Group was the only military +unit in the world at the time that had access to nuclear weapons. +Again, reviews of available records gave no indication that this +was the case. A number of records still classified TOP SECRET +and SECRET-RESTRICTED DATA having to do with nuclear weapons were +located in the Federal Records Center in St. Louis, MO . These +records, which pertained to the 509th, had nothing to do with any +activities that could have been misinterpreted as the "Roswell +Incident." Also, any records of a nuclear-related incident would +have been inherited by the Department of Energy (DOE), and, had +one occurred, it is likely DOE would have publicly reported it as +part of its recent declassification and public release efforts. +There were no ancillary records in Air Force files to indicate +the potential existence of such records within DOE channels, +however. + +An Extraterrestrial Craft +The Air Force research found absolutely no indication that what +happened near Roswell in 1947, involved any type of +extraterrestrial spacecraft. This, of course, is the crux of +this entire matter. "Pro-UFO" persons who obtain a copy of this +report, at this point, most probably begin the "cover-up is still +on" claims. Nevertheless, the research indicated absolutely no +evidence OF ANY KIND that a spaceship crashed near Roswell or +that any alien occupants were recovered therefrom, in some secret +military operation or otherwise. This does not mean, however, +that the early Air Force was not concerned about UFOs. However, +in the early days, "UFO" meant Unidentified Flying Object, which +literally translated as some object in the air that was not +readily identifiable. It did not mean, as the term has evolved +in today's language, to equate to alien spaceships. Records from +the period reviewed by Air Force researchers as well as those +cited by the authors mentioned before, do indicate that the USAF +WAS seriously concerned about the inability to adequately +identify unknown flying objects reported in American airspace. +All the records, however, indicated that the focus of concern was +not on aliens, hostile or otherwise, but on the Soviet Union. +Many documents from that period speak to the possibility of +developmental secret Soviet aircraft overflying US airspace. +This, of course, was of major concern to the fledgling USAF, +whose job it was to protect these same skies. + +The research revealed only one official AAF document that +indicated that there was any activity of any type that pertained +to UFOs and Roswell in July, 1947. This was a small section of +the July Historical Report for the 509th Bomb Group and Roswell +AAF that stated: "THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION was quite +busy during the month answering inquiries on the 'flying disc,' +which was reported to be in possession of the 509th Bomb Group. +The object turned out to be a radar tracking balloon" (included +with Atch 11). Additionally, this history showed that the 509th +Commander, Colonel Blanchard, went on leave on July 8, 1947, +which would be a somewhat unusual maneuver for a person involved +in the supposed first ever recovery of extraterrestrial +materials. (Detractors claim Blanchard did this as a ploy to +elude the press and go to the scene to direct the recovery +operations). The history and the morning reports also showed +that the subsequent activities at Roswell during the month were +mostly mundane and not indicative of any unusual high level +activity, expenditure of manpower, resources or security. + +Likewise, the researchers found no indication of heightened +activity anywhere else in the military hierarchy in the July, +1947, message traffic or orders (to include classified traffic). +There were no indications and warnings, notice of alerts, or a +higher tempo of operational activity reported that would be +logically generated if an alien craft, whose intentions were +unknown, entered US territory. To believe that such operational +and high-level security activity could be conducted solely by +relying on unsecured telecommunications or personal contact +without creating any records of such activity certainly stretches +the imagination of those who have served in the military who know +that paperwork of some kind is necessary to accomplish even +emergency, highly classified, or sensitive tasks. + +An example of activity sometimes cited by pro-UFO writers to +illustrate the point that something unusual was going on was the +travel of Lt. General Nathan Twining, Commander of the Air +Materiel Command, to New Mexico in July, 1947. Actually, records +were located indicating that Twining went to the Bomb Commanders' +Course on July 8, along with a number of other general officers, +and requested orders to do so a month before, on June 5, 1947 +(Atch 14). + +Similarly, it has also been alleged that General Hoyt Vandenberg, +Deputy Chief of Staff at the time, had been involved directing +activity regarding events at Roswell. Activity reports (Atch +15), located in General Vandenberg's personal papers stored in +the Library of Congress, did indicate that on July 7, he was busy +with a "flying disc" incident; however this particular incident +involved Ellington Field, Texas and the Spokane (Washington) +Depot. After much discussion and information gathering on this +incident, it was learned to be a hoax. There is no similar +mention of his personal interest or involvement in Roswell events +except in the newspapers. + +The above are but two small examples that indicate that if some +event happened that was one of the "watershed happenings" in +human history, the US military certainly reacted in an +unconcerned and cavalier manner. In an actual case, the military +would have had to order thousands of soldiers and airman, not +only at Roswell but throughout the US, to act nonchalantly, +pretend to conduct and report business as usual, and generate +absolutely no paperwork of a suspicious nature, while +simultaneously anticipating that twenty years or more into the +future people would have available a comprehensive Freedom of +Information Act that would give them great leeway to review and +explore government documents. The records indicate that none of +this happened (or if it did, it was controlled by a security +system so efficient and tight that no one, US or otherwise, has +been able to duplicate it since. If such a system had been in +effect at the time, it would have also been used to protect our +atomic secrets from the Soviets, which history has showed +obviously was not the case). The records reviewed confirmed that +no such sophisticated and efficient security system existed. + +WHAT THE "ROSWELL INCIDENT" WAS + +As previously discussed, what was originally reported to have +been recovered was a balloon of some sort, usually described as a +"weather balloon," although the majority of the wreckage that was +ultimately displayed by General Ramey and Major Marcel in the +famous photos (Atch 16) in Ft. Worth, was that of a radar target +normally suspended from balloons. This radar target, discussed +in more detail later, was certainly consistent with the +description of July 9 newspaper article which discussed "tinfoil, +paper, tape, and sticks." Additionally, the description of the +"flying disc" was consistent with a document routinely used by +most pro-UFO writers to indicate a conspiracy in progress -- the +telegram from the Dallas FBI office of July 8, 1947. This +document quoted in part states: "...The disc is hexagonal in +shape and was suspended from a balloon by a cable, which balloon +was approximately twenty feet in diameter. ...the object found +resembles a high altitude weather balloon with a radar reflector. +...disc and balloon being transported..." + +Similarly, while conducting the popular literature review, one of +the documents reviewed was a paper entitled "The Roswell Events" +edited by Fred Whiting, and sponsored by the Fund for UFO +Research (FUFOR). Although it was not the original intention to +comment on what comrnercial authors interpreted or claimed that +other persons supposedly said, this particular document was +different because it contained actual copies of apparently +authentic sworn affidavits received from a number of persons who +claimed to have some knowledge of the Roswell event. Although +many of the persons who provided these affidavits to the FUFOR +researchers also expressed opinions that they thought there was +something extraterrestrial about this incident, a number of them +actually described materials that sounded suspiciously like +wreckage from balloons. These included the following: + +Jesse A. Marcel, MD (son of the late Major Jesse Marcel; 11 years +old at the time of the incident). Affidavit dated May 6, 1991. +"...There were three categories of debris: a thick, foil like +metallic gray substance; a brittle, brownish-black plastic-like +material, like Bakelite; and there were fragments of what +appeared to be I-beams. On the inner surface of the I-beam, +there appeared to be a type of writing. This writing was a +purple-violet hue, and it had an embossed appearance. The +figures were composed of curved, geometric shapes. It had no +resemblance to Russian, Japanese or any other foreign language. +It resembled hieroglyphics, but it had no animal-like +characters...." + +Loretta Proctor (former neighbor of rancher W.W. Brazel). +Affidavit dated May 5, 1991. "...Brazel came to my ranch and +showed my husband and me a piece of material he said came from a +large pile of debris on the property he managed. The piece he +brought was brown in color, similar to plastic... 'Mac' said the +other material on the property looked like aluminum foil. It was +very flexible and wouldn't crush or burn. There was also +something he described as tape which had printing on it. The +color of the printing was a kind of purple..." + +Bessie Brazel Schreiber (daughter of W.W. Brazel; 14 years old at +the time ofthe incident). Affidavit dated September 22, 1993. +"...The debris looked like pieces of a large balloon which had +burst. The pieces were small, the largest I remember measuring +about the same as the diameter of a basketball. Most of it was a +kind of double-sided material, foil-like on one side and rubber- +like on the other. Both sides were grayish silver in color, the +foil more silvery than the rubber. Sticks, like kite sticks, +were attached to some of the pieces with a whitish tape. The +tape was about two or three inches wide and had flower-like +designs on it. The 'flowers' were faint, a variety of pastel +colors, and reminded me of Japanese paintings in which the +flowers are not all connected. I do not recall any other types +of material or markings, nor do I remember seeing gouges in the +ground or any other signs that anything may have hit the ground +hard. The foil-rubber material could not be torn like ordinary +aluminum foil can be torn..." + +Sally Strickland Tadolini (neighbor of WW Brazel; nine years old +in 1947). Affidavit dated September 27, 1993. "...What Bill +showed us was a piece of what I still think as fabric. It was +something like aluminum foil, something like satin, something +like well -- tanned leather in its toughness, yet was not +precisely like any one of those materials. ...It was about the +thickness of very fine kidskin glove leather and a dull metallic +grayish silver, one side slightly darker than the other. I do +not remember it having any design or +embossing on it..." + +Robert R. Porter (B-29 flight Engineer stationed at Roswell in +1947). Affidavit dated June 7, 1991. "...On this occasion, I +was a member of the crew which flew parts of what we were told +was a flying saucer to Fort Worth. The people on board +included...and Maj Jesse Marcel. Capt. William E. Anderson said +it was from a flying saucer. After we arrived, the material was +transferred to a B-25. I was told they were going to Wright +Field in Dayton, Ohio. I was involved in loading the B-29 with +the material, which was wrapped in packages with wrapping paper. +One of the pieces was triangle-shaped, about 2 1/2 feet across +the bottom. The rest were in small packages, about the size of a +shoe box. The brown paper was held with tape. The material was +extremely lightweight. When I picked it up, it was just like +picking up an empty package. We loaded the triangle shaped +package and three shoe box-sized packages into the plane. All of +the packages could have fit into the trunk of a car. ...When we +came back from lunch, they told us they had transferred the +material to a B-25. They told us the material was a weather +balloon, but I'm certain it wasn't a weather balloon..." + +In addition to those persons above still living who claim to have +seen or examined the original material found on the Brazel Ranch, +there is one additional person who was universally acknowledged +to have been involved in its recovery, Sheridan Cavitt, Lt Col, +USAF, (Ret). Cavitt is credited in all claims of having +accompanied Major Marcel to the ranch to recover the debris, +sometimes along with his Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) +subordinate, William Rickett, who, like Marcel, is deceased. +Although there does not appear to be much dispute that Cavitt was +involved in the material recovery, other claims about him prevail +in the popular literature. He is sometimes portrayed as a +closed-mouth (or sometimes even sinister) conspirator who was one +of the early individuals who kept the "secret of Roswell" from +getting out. Other things about him have been alleged, including +the claim that he wrote a report of the incident at the time that +has never surfaced. + +Since Lt Col Cavitt, who had first-hand knowledge, was still +alive, a decision was made to interview him and get a signed +sworn statement from him about his version of the events. Prior +to the interview, the Secretary of the Air Force provided him +with a written authorization and waiver to discuss classified +information with the interviewer and release him from any +security oath he may have taken. Subsequently, Cavitt was +interviewed on May 24, 1994, at his home. Cavitt provided a +signed, sworn statement (Atch 17 ) of his recollections in this +matter. He also consented to having the interview tape-recorded. +A transcript of that recording is at Atch 18. In this interview, +Cavitt related that he had been contacted on numerous occasions +by UFO researchers and had willingly talked with many of them; +however, he felt that he had oftentimes been misrepresented or +had his comments taken out of context so that their true meaning +was changed. He stated unequivocally, however, that the material +he recovered consisted of a reflective sort of material like +aluminum foil, and some thin, bamboo-like sticks. He thought at +the time, and continued to do so today, that what he found was a +weather balloon and has told other private researchers that. He +also remembered finding a small "black box" type of instrument, +which he thought at the time was probably a radiosonde. Lt Col +Cavitt also reviewed the famous Ramey/Marcel photographs (Atch +16) of the wreckage taken to Ft. Worth (often claimed by UFO +researchers to have been switched and the remnants of a balloon +substituted for it) and he identified the materials depicted in +those photos as consistent with the materials that he recovered +from the ranch. Lt Col Cavitt also stated that he had never +taken any oath or signed any agreement not to talk about this +incident and had never been threatened by anyone in the +government because of it. He did not even know the "incident" +was claimed to be anything unusual until he was interviewed in +the early 1980's. + +Similarly, Irving Newton, Major, USAF, (Ret) was located and +interviewed. Newton was a weather officer assigned to Fort +Worth, who was on duty when the Roswell debris was sent there in +July, 1947. He was told that he was to report to General Ramey's +office to view the material. In a signed, sworn statement (Atch +30) Newton related that "...I walked into the General's office +where this supposed flying saucer was Iying all over the floor. +As soon as I saw it, I giggled and asked if that was the flying +saucer...I told them that this was a balloon and a RAWIN +target..." Newton also stated that "...while I was examining the +debris, Major Marcel was picking up pieces ofthe target sticks +and trying to convince me that some notations on the sticks were +alien writings. there were figures on the sticks, lavender or +pink in color, appeared to be weather faded markings, with no +rhyme or reason (sic). He did not convince me that these were +alien writings." Newton concluded his statement by relating that +"...During the ensuing years I have been interviewed by many +authors, I have been quoted and misquoted. The facts remain as +indicated above. I was not influenced during the original +interview, nor today, to provide anything but what I know to be +true, that is, the material I saw in General Ramey's office was +the remains of a balloon and a RAWIN target." + +Balloon Research +The original tasking from GAO noted that the search for +information included "weather balloons." Comments about balloons +and safety reports have already been made, however the SAF/AAZ +research efforts also focused on reviewing historical records +involving balloons, since, among other reasons, that was what was +officially claimed by the AAF to have been found and recovered in +1947. + +As early as February 28, 1994, the AAZD research team found +references to balloon tests taking place at Alamogordo AAF (now +Holloman AFB) and White Sands during June and July 1947, testing +"constant level balloons" and a New York University (NYU)/Watson +Labs effort that used "...meteorological devices...suspected for +detecting shock waves generated by Soviet nuclear explosions" -- +a possible indication of a cover story associated with the NYU +balloon project. Subsequently, a 1946 HQ AMC memorandum was +surfaced, describing the constant altitude balloon project and +specified that the scientific data be classified TOP SECRET +Priority 1A. Its name was Project Mogul (Atch 19). + +Project Mogul was a then-sensitive, classified project, whose +purpose was to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons +research. This was the early Cold War period and there was +serious concern within the US government about the Soviets +developing a weaponized atomic device. Because the Soviet +Union's borders were closed, the US Government sought to develop +a long range nuclear explosion detection capability. Long range, +balloon-borne, low frequency acoustic detection was posed to +General Spaatz in 1945 by Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia +University as a potential solution (atmospheric ducting of low +frequency pressure waves had been studied as early as 1900). + +As part of the research into this matter, AAZD personnel located +and obtained the original study papers and reports of the New +York University project. Their efforts also revealed that some +of the individuals involved in Project Mogul were still living. +These persons included the NYU constant altitude balloon Director +of Research, Dr. Athelstan F. Spilhaus; the Project Engineer, +Professor Charles B. Moore; and the military Project Officer, +Colonel Albert C. Trakowski . + +All of these persons were subsequently interviewed and signed +sworn statements about their activities. A copy of these +statements are appended at Atch 20-22. Additionally, transcripts +of the interview with Moore and Trakowski are also included +(equipment malfunctioned during the interview of Spilhaus) (Atch +23-24). These interviews confirmed that Project Mogul was a +compartmented, sensitive effort. The NYU group was responsible +for developing constant level balloons and telemetering equipment +that would +remain at specified altitudes (within the acoustic duct) while a +group from Columbia was to develop acoustic sensors. Doctor +Spilhaus, Professor Moore, and certain others of the group were +aware of the actual purpose of the project, but they did not know +of the project nickname at the time. They handled casual +inquiries and/or scientific inquiries/papers in terms of +"unclassified meteorological or balloon research." Newly hired +employees were not made aware that there was anything special or +classified about +their work; they were told only that their work dealt with +meteorological equipment. + +An advance ground team, led by Albert P. Crary, preceded the NYU +group to +Alamogordo AAF, New Mexico, setting up ground sensors and +obtaining facilities for the NYU group. Upon their arrival, +Professor Moore and his team experimented with various +configurations of neoprene balloons; development of balloon +"trains" (see illustration, Atch 25); automatic ballast systems; +and use of Naval sonobuoys (as the Watson Lab acoustical sensors +had not yet arrived). They also launched what they called +"service flights." These "service flights" were not logged nor +fully accounted for in the published Technical Reports generated +as a result of the contract between NYU and Watson Labs. +According to Professor Moore, the "service flights" were composed +of balloons, radar reflectors and payloads specifically designed +to test acoustic sensors (both early sonobuoys and the later +Watson Labs devices). The "payload equipment" was expendable and +some carried no "REWARD" or "RETURN TO..." tags because there was +to be no association between these flights and the logged +constant altitude flights which were fully acknowledged. The NYU +balloon flights were listed sequentially in their reports (i.e., +A,B, 1,5,6,7,8,10...) yet gaps existed for Flights 2-4 and Flight +9. The interview with Professor Moore indicated that these gaps +were the unlogged "service flights." + +Professor Moore, the on-scene Project Engineer, gave detailed +information concerning his team's efforts. He recalled that +radar targets were used for tracking balloons because they did +not have all the necessary equipment when they first arrived in +New Mexico. Some of the early developmental radar targets were +manufactured by a toy or novelty company. These targets were +made up of aluminum "foil" or foil-backed paper, balsa wood beams +that were coated in an "Elmer's-type" glue to enhance their +durability, acetate and/or cloth reinforcing tape, single strand +and braided nylon twine, brass eyelets and swivels to form a +multi-faced reflector somewhat similar in construction to a box +kite (see photographs, Atch 26). Some of these targets were also +assembled with purplish-pink tape with symbols on it (see drawing +by Moore with Atch 21). + +According to the log summary (Atch 27) of the NYU group, Flight A +through Flight 7 (November 20, 1946-July 2, 1947) were made with +neoprene meteorological balloons (as opposed to the later flights +made with polyethylene balloons). Professor Moore stated that +the neoprene balloons were susceptible to degradation in the +sunlight, turning from a milky white to a dark brown. He +described finding remains of balloon trains with +reflectors and payloads that had landed in the desert: the +ruptured and shredded neoprene would "almost look like dark gray +or black flakes or ashes after exposure to the sun for only a few +days. The plasticizers and antioxidants in the neoprene would +emit a peculiar acrid odor and the balloon material and radar +target material would be scattered after returning to earth +depending on the surface winds." Upon review ofthe local +newspaper +photographs from General Ramey's press conference in 1947 and +descriptions in popular books by individuals who supposedly +handled the debris recovered on the ranch, Professor Moore opined +that the material was most likely the shredded remains of a +multi-neoprene balloon train with multiple radar reflectors. The +material and a "black box," described by Cavitt, was, in Moore's +scientific opinion, most probably from Flight 4, a "service +flight" +that included a cylindrical metal sonobuoy and portions of a +weather instrument housed in a box, which was unlike typical +weather radiosondes which were made of cardboard. Additionally, +a copy of a professional journal maintained at the time by A.P. +Crary, provided to the Air Force by his widow, showed that Flight +4 was launched on June 4, 1947, but was not recovered by the NYU +group. It is very probable that this TOP SECRET project balloon +train (Flight 4), made up of unclassified components; came to +rest some miles northwest of Roswell, NM, became shredded in the +surface winds and was +ultimately found by the rancher, Brazel, ten days later. This +possibility was supported by the observations of Lt Col Cavitt +(Atch 17-18), the only living eyewitness to the actual debris +field and the material found. Lt Col Cavitt described a small +area of debris which appeared, "to resemble bamboo type square +sticks one quarter to one half inch square, that were very light, +as well as some sort of metallic reflecting material that was +also very light...I remember recognizing this material as being +consistent with a weather balloon." + +Concerning the initial announcement, "RAAF Captures Flying Disc," +research failed to locate any documented evidence as to why that +statement was made. However, on July 10, 1947, following the +Ramey press conference, the Alamogordo News published an article +with photographs demonstrating multiple balloons and targets at +the same location as the NYU group operated from at Alamogordo +AAF. Professor Moore expressed surprise at seeing this since +his, was the only balloon test group in the area. He stated, "It +appears that there was some type of umbrella cover story to +protect our work with Mogul." Although the Air Force did not +find documented evidence that Gen. Ramey was directed to espouse +a weather balloon in his press conference, he may have done so +because he was either aware of Project Mogul and was trying to +deflect interest from it, or he readily perceived the material to +be a weather balloon based on the identification from his weather +officer, Irving Newton. In either case, the materials recovered +by the AAF in July, 1947, were not readily recognizable as +anything special (only the purpose was special) and the recovered +debris itself was unclassified. Additionally, the press dropped +its interest in the matter as quickly as they had jumped on it. +Hence, there would be no particular reason to further document +what quickly became a "non-event." + +The interview with Colonel Trakowski (Atch 23-24) also proved +valuable information. Trakowski provided specific details on +Project Mogul and described how the security for the program was +set up, as he was formerly the TOP SECRET Control Officer for the +program. He further related that many of the original radar +targets that were produced around the end of World War II were +fabricated by toy or novelty companies using a purplish-pink tape +with flower and heart symbols on it. Trakowski also recounted a +conversation that he had with his friend, and superior military +officer in his chain of command, Colonel Marcellus Duffy, in +July, 1947. Duffy, formerly had Trakowski's position on Mogul, +but had subsequently been transferred to Wright Field. He +stated: "...Colonel Duffy called me on the telephone from Wright +Field and gave me a story about a fellow that had come in from +New Mexico, woke him up in the middle of the night or some such +thing with a handful of debris, and wanted him, Colonel Duffy, to +identify it. ...He just said 'it sure looks like some of the +stuff you've been launching at Alamogordo' and he described it, +and I said 'yes, I think it is.' Certainly Colonel Duffy knew +enough about radar targets, radiosondes, balloon-borne weather +devices. He was intimately familiar with all that apparatus." + +Attempts were made to locate Colonel Duffy but it was ascertained +that he had died. His widow explained that, although he had +amassed a large amount of personal papers relating to his Air +Force activities, she had recently disposed of these items. +Likewise, it was leamed that A.P. Crary was also deceased; +however his surviving spouse had a number of his papers from his +balloon testing days, including his professional journal from the +period in question. She provided the Air Force researchers with +this material. It is discussed in more detail within Atch 32. +Overall, it helps fill in gaps of the Mogul story. + +During the period the Air Force conducted this research, it was +discovered that several others had also discovered the +possibility that the "Roswell Incident" may have been generated +by the recovery of a Project Mogul balloon device. These persons +included Professor Charles B. Moore, Robert Todd, and +coincidentally, Karl Pflock, a researcher who is married to a +staffer who works for Congressman Schiff. Some of these persons +provided suggestions as to where documentation might be located +in various archives, histories and libraries. A review of +Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests revealed that Robert +Todd, particularly, had become aware of Project Mogul several +years ago and had doggedly obtained from the Air Force, through +the FOIA, a large amount of material pertaining to it; long +before the AAZD researchers independently seized on the same +possibility. + +Most interestingly, as this report was being written, Pflock +published his own report of this matter under the auspices of +FUFOR, entitled "Roswell in Perspective" (1994). Pflock +concluded from his research that the Brazel Ranch debris +originally reported as a "flying disc" was probably debris from a +Mogul balloon; however, there was a simultaneous incident that +occurred not far away, that caused an alien craft to crash and +that the AAF subsequently recovered three alien bodies therefrom. +Air Force research did +not locate any information to corroborate that this incredible +coincidence occurred, however. + +In order to provide a more detailed discussion ofthe specifics of +Project Mogul and how it appeared to be directly responsible for +the "Roswell Incident," a SAF/AAZD researcher prepared a more +detailed discussion on the balloon project which is appended to +this report as Atch 32. + +Other Research +In the attempt to develop additional information that could help +explain this matter, a number of other steps were taken. First, +assistance was requested from various museums and other archives +(Atch 28) to obtain information and/or examples of the actual +balloons and radar targets used in connection with Project Mogul +and to correlate them with the various descriptions of wreckage +and materials recovered. The blueprints for the "Pilot Balloon +Target ML307C/AP Assembly" (generically, the radar target +assembly) were +located at the Army Signal Corps Museum at Fort Monmouth and +obtained. A copy is appended as Atch 29. This blueprint +provides the specification for the foil material, tape, wood, +eyelets, and string used and the assembly instructions thereto. +An actual device was also obtained for study with the assistance +of Professor Moore. (The example actually procured was a 1953- +manufactured model "C" as compared to the Model B which was in +use in 1947. Professor Moore related the differences were +minor). An examination of this device revealed it to be simply +made of aluminum-colored foil-like material over a stronger +paper-like material, attached to balsa wood sticks, affixed with +tape, glue, and twine. When opened, the device appears as +depicted in Atch 31 (contemporary photo) and Atch 25 (1947 photo, +in a "balloon train"). When folded, the device is in a series of +triangles, the largest being four feet by two feet ten inches. +The +smallest triangle section measures two feet by two feet ten +inches. (Compare with descriptions provided by Lt Col Cavitt and +others, as well as photos of wreckage). + +Additionally, the researchers obtained from the Archives of the +University of Texas-Arlington (UTA), a set of original (i.e. +first generation) prints of the photographs taken at the time by +the FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, that depicted Ramey and Marcel with +the wreckage. A close review of these photos (and a set of first +generation negatives also subsequently obtained from UTA) +revealed several interesting observations. First, although in +some of the literature cited above, Marcel allegedly stated that +he had his photo taken with the "real" UFO wreckage and then it +was subsequently removed and the weather balloon wreckage +substituted for it, a comparison shows that the same wreckage +appeared in the photos of Marcel and Ramey. The photos also +depicted that this material was Iying on what appeared to be some +sort of wrapping paper (consistent with affidavit excerpt of crew +chief Porter, above). It was also noted that in the two photos +of Ramey he had a piece of paper in his hand. In one, it was +folded over so nothing could be seen. In the second, however, +there appears to be text printed on the paper. In an attempt to +read this text to determine if it could shed any further light on +locating documents relating to this matter, the photo was sent to +a national level organization for digitizing and subsequent photo +interpretation and analysis. This organization was also asked to +scrutinize the digitized photos for any indication of the +flowered tape (or "hieroglyphics," depending on the point of +view) that were reputed to be visible to some of the persons who +observed the wreckage prior to it getting to Fort Worth. This +organization reported on July 20, 1994, that even after +digitizing, the photos were of insufficient quality to visualize +either of the details sought for analysis. This organization was +able to obtain measurements from the "sticks" visible in the +debris after it was ascertained by an interview of the original +photographer what kind of camera he used. The results of this +process are provided in Atch 33, along with a reference diagram +and the photo from which the measurements were made. All these +measurements are compatible with the wooden materials used in the +radar target previously described. + +CONCLUSION + +The Air Force research did not locate or develop any information +that the "Roswell Incident" was a UFO event. All available +official materials, although they do not directly address Roswell +PER SE, indicate that the most likely source of the wreckage +recovered from the Brazel Ranch was from one of the Project Mogul +balloon trains. Although that project was TOP SECRET at the +time, there was also no specific indication found to indicate an +official pre-planned cover story was in place to explain an event +such as that which ultimately happened. It appears that the +identification of the wreckage as being part of a weather balloon +device, as reported in the newspapers at the time, was based on +the fact that there was no physical difference in the radar +targets and the neoprene balloons (other than the numbers and +configuration) between Mogul balloons and normal weather +balloons. Additionally, it seems that there was over-reaction by +Colonel Blanchard and Major Marcel, in originally reporting that +a "flying disc" had been recovered when, at that time, nobody for +sure knew what that term even meant since it had only been in use +for a couple of weeks. + +Likewise, there was no indication in official records from the +period that there was heightened military operational or security +activity which should have been generated if this was, in fact, +the first recovery of materials and/or persons from another +world. The post-War US Military (or today's for that matter) did +not have the capability to rapidly identify, recover, coordinate, +cover-up, and quickly minimize public scrutiny of such an +event. The claim that they did so without leaving even a little +bit of a suspicious paper trail for 47 years is incredible. + +It should also be noted here that there was little mentioned in +this report about the recovery of the so-called "alien bodies." +This is for several reasons: First, the recovered wreckage was +from a Project Mogul balloon. There were no "alien" passengers +therein. Secondly, the pro-UFO groups who espouse the alien +bodies theories cannot even agree among themselves as to what, +how many, and where, such bodies were supposedly recovered. +Additionally, some of these claims have been shown to be hoaxes, +even by other UFO researchers. Thirdly, when such claims are +made, they are often attributed to people using pseudonyms or who +otherwise do not want to be publicly identified, presumably so +that some sort of retribution cannot be taken against them +(notwithstanding that nobody has been shown to have died, +disappeared or otherwise suffered at the hands of the government +during the last 47 years). Fourth, many of the persons making +the biggest claims of"alien bodies" make their living from the +"Roswell Incident." While +having a commercial interest in something does not automatically +make it suspect, it does raise interesting questions related to +authenticity. Such persons should be encouraged to present their +evidence (not speculation) directly to the government and provide +all pertinent details and evidence to support their claims if +honest fact-finding is what is wanted. Lastly, persons who have +come forward and provided their names and made claims, may have, +in good faith but in the "fog of time," misinterpreted past +events. The review of Air Force records did not locate even one +piece of evidence to indicate that the Air Force has had any part +in an "alien" body recovery operation or continuing cover-up. + +During the course of this effort, the Air Force has kept in close +touch with the GAO and responded to their various queries and +requests for assistance. This report was generated as an +official response to the GAO, and to document the considerable +effort expended by the Air Force on their behalf. It is +anticipated that that they will request a copy of this report to +help formulate the formal report of their efforts. It is +recommended that this +document serve as the final Air Force report related to the +Roswell matter, for the GAO, or any other inquiries. + +RICHARD L.

The +subsequent protests that the space agency was covering up the secret behind the +formation have died down. + But mysteries such as that formation and innumerable others on this planet +have kept Gene Phillips, 66, of Lake Forest and thousands of other people in +the Ancient Astronaut Society busy for 20 years. + Phillips founded the organization on Sept. 14, 1973, and it now numbers +10,000 members in 93 countries, including 1,500 in the United States. + Phillips, a lawyer who does corporate work through the firm bearing his name +and who is president of the society, also is editor of its bimonthly +newsletter, Ancient Skies, written at the headquarters of the organization at +1921 St. Johns Ave., Highland Park, which is also Phillips' law office. + What brings together these widely diverse people, ranging in age from 12 to +90-plus, is their common zeal to find evidence of what they believe to be the +truth of mankind's past. + Many members believe the human race may be descended from or was given +advanced technological knowledge by astronauts of a higher intelligence from +other planets who visited Earth before written history. + Other members believe certain human civilizations possessed sophisticated +technology that has been lost and most evidence of its existence destroyed. + Phillips subscribes to the former theory. + Recently the organization held its 20th Anniversary World Conference in Las +Vegas and attracted about 350 people from 15 countries, including theologians, +astronomers, physicists, archeologists, aerospace engineers, philosophers, +clergymen, doctors, lawyers, accountants, authors and journalists. + In his address, Phillips told them of his belief that only the ancient +astronaut theory can explain the sudden appearance on Earth of human +intelligence. + The theory, first popularized by Swiss writer Erich von Daniken in his +international best-seller "Chariots of the Gods?" (Berkeley Publishing Group, +$4.99 paperback), was the subject of a 1973 PBS television special called "In +Search of Ancient Astronauts," which Phillips saw and found convincing. + On the evidence of his background, Phillips does not seem like a man to be +easily influenced. He is an honors graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute +in Blacksburg, Va., with an MBA from Harvard Business School and a law degree +from Northwestern University, where he was an editor of the Law Review and was +awarded the Order of Coif for academic achievement. He is also a former Air +Force officer. + In other words, this man is neither stupid nor a wide-eyed flake. +Nevertheless, when Phillips saw "In Search of Ancient Astronauts," almost +immediately he became a believer. + "What I saw on that television show answered many of my questions about +religion and the origins of humankind," Phillips said. + Born to a poor family in Beaver, W.Va., Phillips was raised as a Methodist, +converted to Catholicism and has not gone to church in more than 20 years, +except for an occasional wedding or funeral. By his own admission, he is not a +religious man. + Inspired by that television show, he founded the Ancient Astronaut Society +"... to search for evidence to determine whether Earth was visited in the +remote past by intelligent beings from outer space and whether a highly +developed, technological civilization existed on Earth before our recorded +history," Phillips said. + That same year, 1973, Von Daniken came to Chicago to speak, and The Tribune, +which had covered both Von Daniken and Phillips, arranged for them to meet. +There was an immediate rapport between the two men. + "We liked each other right away," Phillips said, "I guess because we had so +much in common." Today, 20 years later, Phillips and Von Daniken are close +friends, Von Daniken is an officer of the not-for-profit Ancient Astronaut +Society, and he operates its European office in Feldbrunnen, Switzerland. + In a phone interview, Von Daniken said, "Gene was always very, very correct +and fair. Whatever we have done together in the society and in private, he is +perfect. + "In the beginning, he was very enthusiastic. He made the organization." + Von Daniken added that in the early days, the two agreed that an +international organization would be better than one limited to the United +States. Now both are glad they took that direction, because European membership +has been more active than the U.S. branch, prompted by Van Daniken's regular +television show, "On the Traces of the Almighties," which airs on the German +equivalent of an American cable superstation. + For the next two decades, Phillips, an outgoing, well-informed, articulate +and often humorous man, searched "for knowledge and truth," as he said, in +remote corners of the Earth where he examined, photographed and speculated on +the significance of archeological ruins and artifacts. + When not traveling, he reads exhaustively on the subject. His library +numbers 2,500 volumes and continues to grow. + "Evolution does not explain how man could have evolved from the cave to the +stars in such a short time," Phillips said. "And when you see the immense +achievements of early civilizations, you have to conclude that they had +sophisticated technological knowledge-architectural, engineering, astronomical +and metallurgical, for example. That advanced knowledge had to come from +another source, and that source appears to be extraterrestrial." + To investigate firsthand and expand upon his theories, Phillips has taken +thousands of color slides around the world at the sites of what he calls the +"remnants of great civilizations . . . that utilized advanced technology which +has long since been forgotten," in more than 30 countries, including Mexico, +Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, Easter Island, Malta, Jordan, Egypt, Russia and +China. + The Sarcophagus Cover of Palenque, found in the ruins of that ancient Mayan +city in Mexico's Chiapas state, for example, is just one of countless +archeological objects or artifacts that confirm, according to Phillips, the +truth of his theory. + The 5-ton slab of stone, 7 feet wide, 13 feet long and 10 inches thick, was +identified by archeologists as a cover for the tomb of the Mayan king Pacal. It +bears an intricately carved picture of what Phillips describes as an ancient +astronaut in a spacecraft using hand controls and a foot pedal to operate the +vehicle. An object attached to the figure's nose is thought by Phillips to be +an oxygen mask, and what appears to be flames beyond the capsule look to +Phillips like rocket exhaust. + "Here's convincing evidence that ancient astronauts visited the Earth," said +Phillips as he points out each pictorial element on an exact scaled-down +reproduction of the sarcophagus cover, one of numerous original artifacts and +reproductions he has collected over the years and displays in his home. + "And how was it possible to carve so intricate and precise a design," +Phillips asked, "in a culture which archeologists believed did not to have +metal tools? It was not possible. So obviously, they did have metal, and +apparently the archeologists are wrong." + But according to Lanny Bell, an Egyptologist and associate professor of +archeology at the University of Chicago, most establishment archeologists +dismiss the ancient astronaut theory. Bell, with a doctorate in Egyptology and +30 years of experience and research in the field, said, "Nobody I know in +archeology or Egyptology believes it. There just isn't any credible, scientific +evidence. One of the problems in archeology is the interesting, isolated +finding, which may be open to different interpretations. But if you look at it +within the context of the development of an entire culture, the finding becomes +understandable." + What would convince Bell of the validity of the ancient astronaut theory? +"If they were to find a mummified astronaut or a spaceship. Until then, it's +all just harmless fun." + In reply, Phillips laughed good-naturedly. "That's mild," he said of Bell's +criticism. "We've been attacked by Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Thor Heyerdahl. It +doesn't bother me. I'm used to it." + Phillips was referring to a 1974 "Nova" show on PBS in which those +well-known popularizers of science presented evidence to disprove the ancient +astronaut theory. + "Von Daniken and his ideas were getting too popular," Phillips said, +explaining why the big guns of establishment science wanted his theories +destroyed. But even some members of the Ancient Astronaut Society find it +difficult to believe the proposition that Earth was visited by intelligent +beings from another planet. + Member Vince DiPietro, a senior systems engineer and image-processing expert +at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight +Center facility in Maryland, is known in Ancient Astronaut circles for the book +"Unusual Mars Surface Features," which he co-authored. Among the formations the +book discusses is the "Mars face," a mile-wide surface feature on Mars +photographed in July 1976 by NASA's Viking I probe. The formation appears to be +a human face, seemingly carved or formed in stone and looking to the sky. + "The face indicates to me that an advanced civilization once inhabited Mars +and became extinct," Di Pietro said in a telephone interview. "A half-billion +years ago, Mars was teeming with life. There's chemical evidence to support +this. Then life on Mars became extinct. I believe that life on Earth, because +of pollution and the disappearing ozone layer, could be headed for the same +catastrophe." + But does Di Pietro believe that this advanced Martian civilization or any +extraterrestrial civilization visited Earth in the past? His one-word answer +was, "Negative." + This diversity of opinion, according to Phillips, is what makes the Ancient +Astronaut Society so interesting. At their 20th Anniversary World Conference, a +vast array of professional and amateur experts spoke on such topics as gods in +the image of ancient astronauts, ancient astronauts in prehistoric Ireland, new +research on Noah's Ark, the war between Earth and Mars, and the spaceships of +Ezekiel. + Von Daniken lectured on proof of the ancient astronaut theory. Phillips +presented a lecture using color slides he took at various archeological sites +in Central and South America, Easter Island and China, showing ruins, glyphs, +artifacts and stone figures that he claims support the theory that some ancient +civilizations were highly developed technologically. + Among the enemies in this quest for scientific respectability are the +supermarket tabloids. For example, when they run lead stories saying that First +Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has adopted an alien baby or that President Clinton +has consulted with the infirm JFK (and you thought he had died!) about aliens, +it tends to undermine the public's perception of organizations such as the +Ancient Astronaut Society. + "That kind of thing does give a bad name to our activities. There's a +tendency to lump us all together," Phillips said. + But what of Phillips the corporate lawyer, who by his own count has formed +more than 500 corporations for doctors and dentists? + Ancient Astronaut Society member Jimmy Onan, a construction firm executive +who built and lives in a pyramid-shaped home in Wadsworth, said, "Gene is one +of the sharpest lawyers I ever met. He's represented me on several occasions, +and other lawyers have told me he's brilliant." + One attorney who would agree with that assessment is John Bure of Deerfield, +who has worked on cases with Phillips. "I've worked with him on a number of +involved, sophisticated corporate matters. I don't think there's a better +corporate attorney in the state of Illinois. He's technically skilled." + Bure added that Phillips was ahead of his time even in the simple matter of +office equipment. "Way before people had word processors, he had them," he +said. "He was so mechanized." + "It's very unusual for someone to be doing the Ancient Astronauts with his +background," Bure added, explaining that this helps lend credence to his +avocation. But in all the years Phillips has been involved with the +organization, "he's never pushed me to join, and I appreciate that. He doesn't +wear it on his sleeve." + Despite Phillips' devotion to the Ancient Astronaut Society and his work as +a corporate lawyer, his family life has not suffered. + Married 38 years to wife Doris, they have four adult children: Carlos, a +trader on the Chicago Board of Trade; George, an accountant in Barlett; +Gregory, in the State Department diplomatic corps in Hamburg, Germany; and +Pamela Talley, a homemaker in Albuquerque, N.M.. Doris and Gene have traveled +together extensively over the years on Phillips' frequent expeditions to +foreign lands. + Doris, of Peruvian-Basque ancestry, is involved in the daily operations of +the society as secretary of the organization and as Phillips' associate in the +editing and publishing of the society's newsletter, Ancient Skies. + "Our family life is good," Doris said, "because Gene has always included me +in the activities of the society: meeting the people, going on the expeditions. +I'm happy to be a part of the movement." + Doris' four brothers, who are physicians, encouraged Phillips to study law +when they were newly married and living in Rochester, Minn., where they met. At +the time, Phillips owned a Chrysler auto dealership, which a friend at the +Harvard Business School had helped him establish. + But at his wife's urging, he decided to go to law school at Northwestern, +bringing them to the Chicago area. + Though Doris is a Catholic and raised the Phillipses' children in that +faith, she said, "My belief in ancient astronauts poses no religious conflict. +In fact, there are many Catholic priests and other clergy in the society." + Phillips added, "Oddly enough, the religionists have not opposed us much. +Most of our criticism comes from the scientific community.

While it assumed that most flying saucers are of +alien, or perhaps Governmental Military origin, another possible +origin of UFOs is ancient India and Atlantis. + + What we know about ancient Indian flying vehicles comes from +ancient Indian sources; written texts that have come down to us +through the centuries. There is no doubt that most of these texts are +authentic; many are the well known ancient Indian Epics themselves, +and there are literally hundreds of them. Most of them have not even +been translated into English yet from the old sanskrit. + + The Indian Emperor Ashoka started a "Secret Society of the Nine +Unknown Men": great Indian scientists who were supposed to catalogue +the many sciences. Ashoka kept their work secret because he was +afraid that the advanced science catalogued by these men, culled from +ancient Indian sources, would be used for the evil purpose of war, +which Ashoka was strongly against, having been converted to Buddhism +after defeating a rival army in a bloody battle. + + The "Nine Unknown Men" wrote a total of nine books, presumably +one each. Book number was "The Secrets of Gravitation!" This book, +known to historians, but not actually seen by them dealt chiefly with +"gravity control." It is presumably still around somewhere, kept in a +secret library in India, Tibet or elsewhere (perhaps even in North +America somewhere). One can certainly undertand Ashoka's reasoning +for wanting to keep such knowledge a secret, assuming it exists. if +the Nazis had such weapons at their disposal during World War Ii. +Ashoka was also aware devastating wars using such advanced vehicles +and other "futuristic weapons" that had destoryed the ancient Indian +"Rama Empire" several thousand years before. + + Only a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some sanskrit +documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of +Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University said +recently that the documents contain directions for building +interstellar spaceships! + + Their method of propulsion, she said, was "anti-gravitational" +and was based upon a system analogous to that of "laghima," the +unknown power of the ego existing in man's physiological makeup, "a +centrifugal force strong enough to counteract all gravitational pull." +According to Hindu Yogis, it is this "laghima" which enables a person +to levitate. + + Dr. Reyna said that on board these machines, which were called +"Astras" by the text, the ancient Indians could have sent a detachment +of men onto any planet, according to the document, which is thought to +be thousands of years old. The manuscripts were also said to reveal +the secret of "antima"; "the cap of invisibility" and "garima"; "how +to become as heavy as a mountain of lead." + + Naturally, Indian scientists did not take the texts very +seriously, but then became more positive about the value of them when +the Chinese announced that they were including certain parts of the +data for study in their space program! This was one of the first +instances of a government admitting to be researching anti-gravity. + + The manuscripts did not say definitely that interplanetary travel +was ever made but did mention, of all things, a planned trip to the +Moon, though it is not clear whether this trip was actually carried +out. However, one of the great Indian epics, the Ramayana, does have +a highly detailed story in it of a trip to the moon in a Vimana (or +"Astra"), and in fact details a battle on the moon with an "Asvin" (or +"Atlantean") airship. + + This is but a small bit of recent evidence of anti-gravity and +aerospace technology used by Indians. To really understand the +technology, we must go much further back in time. + + The so-called "Rama Empire" of Northern India and Pakistan +developed at least fifteen thousand years ago on the Indian +sub-continent and was a nation of many large, sophisticated cities, +many of which are still to be found in the deserts of Pakistan, +northern, and western India. Rama existed, apparently, parallel to +the Atlantean civilization in the mid-Atlantic Ocean, and was ruled by +"enlightened Priest-Kings" who governed the cities, The seven greatest +capital cities of Rama were known in classical Hindu texts as "The +Seven Rishi Cities." + + According to ancient Indian texts, the people had flying machines +which were called "Vimanas." The ancient Indian epic describes a +Vimana as a double-deck, circular aircraft with portholes and a dome, +much as we would imagine a flying saucer. + + It flew with the "speed of the wind" and gave forth a "melodious +sound." There were at least four different types of Vimanas; some +saucer shaped, others like long cylinders ("cigar shaped airships"). +The ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are so numerous, it would take +volumes to relate what they had to say. The ancient Indians, who +manufactured these ships themselves, wrote entire flight manuals on +the control of the various types of Vimanas, many of which are still +in existence, and some have even been translated into English. + + The Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise dealing with every +possible angle of air travel in a Vimana. There are 230 stanzas +dealing with the construction, take-off, cruising for thousand of +miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with +birds. In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century B.C. text +written by Bharadvajy the Wise, using even older texts as his source, +was rediscovered in a temple in India. It dealt with the operation of +Vimanas and included information on the steering, precautions for long +flights, protection of the airships from storms and lightening and how +to switch the drive to "solar energy" from a free energy source which +sounds like "anti-gravity." + + The Vaimanika Sastra (or Vymaanika-Shaastra) has eight chapters +with diagrams, describing three types of aircraft, including +apparatuses that could neither catch on fire nor break. It also +mentions 31 essential parts of these vehicles and 16 materials from +which they are constructed, which absorb light and heat; for which +reason they were considered suitable for the construction of Vimanas. +This document has been translated into English and is available by +writing the publisher: VYMAANIDASHAASTRA AERONAUTICS by Maharishi +Bharadwaaja, translated into English and edited, printed and published +by Mr. G. R. Josyer, Mysore, India, 1979 (sorry, no street address). +Mr. Josyer is the director of the International Academy of Sanskrit +Investigation located in Mysore. + + There seems to be no doubt that Vimanas were powered by some sort +of "anti-gravity." Vimanas took off vertically, and were capable of +hovering in the sky, like a modern helicopter or dirigible. +Bharadvajy the Wise refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 +experts of air travel in antiquity. These sources are now lost. + + Vimanas were kept in a Vimana Griha, a kind of hanger, and were +sometimes said to be propelled by a yellowish-white liquid, and +sometimes by some sort of mercury compound, though writers seem +confused in this matter. It is most likely that the later writers on +Vimanas, wrote as observers and from earlier texts, and were +understandably confused on the princible of their propulsion. The +"yellowishwhite liquid" sounds suspiciously like gasoline, and perhaps +Vimanas had a number of different propulsion sources, including +combustion engines and even "pulse-jet" engines. It is interesting to +note, that the Nazis developed the first practical pulse-jet engines +for their V-8 rocket "buzz bombs." Hitler and the Nazi staff were +exceptionally interested in ancient India and Tibet and sent +expeditions to both these places yearly, starting in the 30's, in +order to gather esoteric evidence that they did so, and perhaps it was +from these people that the Nazis gained some of their scientific +information! + + According to the Dronaparva, part of the Mahabarata, and the +Ramayana, one Vimana described was shaped like a sphere and born along +at great speed on a mighty wind generated by mercury. It moved like a +UFO, going up, down, backwards and forewards as the pilot desired. In +another Indian source, the Samar, Vimanas were "iron machines, +well-knit and smooth, with a charge of mercury that shot out of the +back in the form of a roaring flame." Another work called the +Samaranganasutradhara describes how the vehicles were constructed. It +is possible that mercury did have something to do with the propulsion, +or more possibly, with the guidance system. Curiously, Soviet +scientists have discovered what they call "age-old instruments used in +navigating cosmic vehicles" in caves in Turkestan and the Gobi Desert. +The "devices" are hemispherical objects of glass or porcelain, ending +in a cone with a drop of mercury inside. + + It is evident that ancient Indians flew around in these vehicles, +all over Asia, to Atlantis presumably; and even, apparently, to South +America. Writing found at Mohenjodaro in Pakistan (presumed to be one +of the "Seven Rishi Cities of the Rama Empire") and still +undeciphered, has also been found in one other place in the world: +Easter Island! Writing on Easter Island, called Rongo-Rongo writing, +is also undeciphered, and is uncannily similar to the Mohenjodaro +script. Was Easter Island an air base for the Rama Empire's Vimana +route? (At the Mohenjo-Daro Vimana-drome, as the passenger walks down +the concourse, he hears the sweet, melodic sound of the announcer over +the loudspeaker, + +"Rama Airways flight number seven for Bali, Easter Island, Nazca, and +Atlantis is now ready for boarding. Passengers please proceed to +gate number..") in Tibet, no small distance, and speaks of the "fiery +chariot" thusly: "Bhima flew along in his car, resplendent as the +sun and loud as thunder... The flying chariot shone like a flame in +the night sky of summer ... it swept by like a comet... It was as if +two suns were shining. Then the chariot rose up and all the heaven +brightened." + + In the Mahavira of Bhavabhuti, a Jain text of the eighth century +culled from older texts and traditions, we read: "An aerial chariot, +the Pushpaka, conveys many people to the capital of Ayodhya. The sky +is full of stupendous flying-machines, dark as night, but picked out +by lights with a yellowish glare" + + The Vedas, ancient Hindu poems, thought to be the oldest of all +the Indian texts, describe Vimanas of various shapes and sizes: the +"ahnihotra-vimana" with two engines, the "elephant-vimana" with more +engines, and other types named after the kingfisher, ibis and other +animals. + + Unfortunately, Vimanas, like most scientific discoveries, were +ultimately used for war. Atlanteans used their flying machines, +"Vailixi," a similar type of aircraft, to literally try and subjugate +the world, it would seem, if Indian texts are to be believed. The +Atlanteans, known as "Asvins" in the Indian writings, were apparently +even more advanced technologically than the Indians, and certainly of +a more war-like temperment. Although no ancient texts on Atlantean +Vailixi are known to exist, some information haas come down through +esoteric, "occult" sources which describe their flying machines. +Similar, if not identical to Vimanas, Vailixi were generally "cigar +shaped" and had the capability of manuvering underwater as well as in +the atmosphere or even outer space. Other vehicles, like Vimanas, +were saucer shaped, and could apparently also be submerged. + + According to Eklal Kueshana, author of "The Ultimate Frontier," +in an article he wrote in 1966, Vailixi were first developed in +Atlantis 20,000 years ago, and the most common ones are "saucershaped +of generally trapezoidal cross-section with three hemispherical engine +pods on the underside." "They use a mechanical antigravity device +driven by engines developing approximately 80,000 horse power." + + The Ramayana, Mahabarata and other texts speak of the hideous war +that took place, some ten or twelve thousand years ago between +Atlantis and Rama using weapons of destruction that could not be +imagined by readers until the second half of this century. + + The ancient Mahabharata, one of the sources on Vimanas, goes on +to tell the awesome destructiveness of the war: "...(the weapon was) a +single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An +incandescent column of smoke and flame As bright as the thousand suns +rose in all its splendor... An iron thunderbolt, + +A gigantic messenger of death, +Which reduced to ashes +The entire race of the Vrishnis +And the Andhakas. +the corpses were so burned +As to be unrecognizable. +The hair and nails fell out; +Pottery broke without apparent cause, +And the birds turned white. +After a few hours +All foodstuffs were infected... +to escape from this fire +The soldiers threw themselves in streams +To wash themselves and their equipment..." + + It would seem that the Mahabharata is describing an atomic war! +References like this one are not isolated; but battles, using a +fantastic array of weapons and aerial vehicles are common in all the +epic Indian books. One even describes a Vimana-Vailix battle on the +Moon! The above section very accurately describes what an atomic +explosion would look like and the effects of the radioactivity on the +population. Jumping into water is the only respite. + + When the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro was excavated by archeologists +in the last century, they found skeletons just lying in the streets, +some of them holding hands, as if some great doom had suddenly +overtaken them. These skeletons are among the most radioactive ever +found, on a par with those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ancient +cities whose brick and stone walls have literaly been vitrified, that +is-fused together, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, +Turkey and other places. There is no logical explanation for the +vitrification of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast. +Futhermore, at Mohenjo-Daro, a well planned city laid on a grid, with +a plumbing system superior to those used in Pakistan and India today, +the streets were littered with "black lumps of glass." These globs of +glass were discovered to be clay pots that had melted under intense +heat! + + With the cataclysmic sinking of Atlantis and the wiping out of +Rama with atomic weapons, the world collapsed into a "stone age" of +sorts, and modern history picks up a few thousand years later. Yet, +it would seem that not all the Vimanas and Vailixi of Rama and +Atlantis were gone. Built to last for thousands of of years, many of +them would still be in use, as evidenced by Ashoka's "Nine Unknown +Men" and the Lhasa manuscript. + + That secret societies or "Brotherhoods" of exceptional, +"enlightened" human beings would have preserved these inventions and +the knowledge of science, history, etc., does not seem surprising. +Many well known historical personages including Jesus, Buddah, Lao +Tzu, Confucious, Krishna, Zoroaster, Mahavira, Quetzalcoatl, +Akhenaton, Moses, and more recent inventors and of course many other +people who will probably remain anonomous, were probably members of +such a secret organization. + + It is interesting too note that when Alexander the Great invaded +India more than two thousand years ago, his historians chronicled that +at one point they were attacked by "flying, fiery shields" that dove +at his army and frightened the cavalry. These "flying saucers" did not +use any atomic bombs or beam weapons on Alexander's army however, +perhaps out of benevolence, and Alexander went on to conquer India. + +It has been suggested by many writers that these "Brotherhoods" keep +some of their Vimanas and Vailixi in secret caverns in Tibet or some +other place is Central Asia, and the Lop Nor Desert in western China +is known to be the center of a great UFO mystery. Perhaps it is here +that many of the airships are still kept, in underground bases much as +the Americans, British and Soviets have built around the world in the +past few decades. + + Still, not all UFO activity can be accounted for by old Vimanas +making trips to the Moon for some reason. Undoubtedly, some are from +the Military Governments of the world, and possibly even from other +planets. Of course, many UFO sightings are "swamp, gas, clouds, +hoaxes, and hallucinations, while there is considerable evidence that +many UFO sightings, especially "kidnappings" and the like, are the +result of what is generally called "telepathic hypnosis." One common +thread that often runs between "Alien kidnappings," "sex with aliens," +and other "close encounters of a third kind" is a buzzing in the ears +just before the encounter. According to many well informed people, +this is a sure sign of telepathic hypnosis." + +(End) + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

As promised + at the close of last evening's show, George Knapp, a news + anchorman for Channel 8 in Vegas, stated that a scientific + person would be featured on tonight's program who has claimed to + work at Area 51, the government's super-secret test range at + Nevada Test Site at Mercury, Nevada. + + Indeed, quite a story was told by Robert Lazar, a physicist + who claimed that he had worked on a project at Area 51 + involving flying disks provided by alien intelligences. + + Over the last year, ParaNet has carried stories relating to + possible involvement with the government in projects of this + nature at the Nevada test site. Up to now, the stories have been + of a very speculative nature. Although the material presented by + Robert Lazar remains unconfirmed, enough information has been + disclosed that ParaNet's large investigative staff in Nevada has + started an intensive investigation into this release. Both Lazar + (formerly known only as "Dennis") and Lear have appeared on + Channel 8 -- Lear appearing on numerous occasions together will + Bill Cooper discussing Lear's famous 'ET Hypothesis.' + + On a past KLAS-TV report, Lear was shown to have traveled + to locations appearing to overlook the test site which + purportedly provided a good view of the objects as they flew + into the night sky.

All paragraphs out of quotes are the narrator of the + segment. We were as accurate as possible on the transcription, + however there are a couple of places where comments were edited + out due to inability to understand what was being said. + + Further reports will be provided as information becomes + available. + ================================================================= + + + + + We've been working on the story for some time....UFO + researchers claim that there is a secret government within our + government. Now this may be hard to believe coming from the UFO + perspective, but we have learned that Watergate and the Iran + Contra scandal that factions within our government can and do + pursue their own hidden agendas outside of the law; outside the + control of the Congress or the knowledge of the American people. + This is exactly the type of operation that we hear about tonight. + It's a chilling scenario with worldwide implications that may + have its roots right here [Las Vegas, Nevada]. + + Area 51, that mysterious corner of the Nevada Test Site, is + no longer considered a secret. The fact that secretive things + go on here isn't evident; even to the Soviets who make daily spy + flights over the facility to take a peek at what's going on. + These photos, never before shown in public, are about as close as + anyone will ever come to seeing what the place looks like again. + The dry bed at Groom Lake, the corrugated buildings, a three-mile + long runway and some highly sophisticated radar and detection + equipment. Its been known by many names over the years -- + Dreamland; The Ranch; The Skunk Works. If ever there was a place + to test the secret new technology, this is it. And that's + exactly what has been done here for decades. + + Area 51 is where Francis Gary Powers and the other U-2 + pilots were trained in the 50s. And, where the U-2 itself was + developed. The SR-71 spy plane that spotted Soviet missiles in + Cuba in the early 60s were also developed at 51. 51 is where + Stealth technology was nurtured, where Star Wars devices are + still tested, and where all manner of CIA [unknown] business has + been plotted and refined. It's the perfect place for secret + things, but of course, that's no secret. 51 is ringed by the + forbidden vastness of the Nevada test site; by the looming Groom + Mountain and by sparsely populated desert expanses. But the + people that do live out here have no love lost for the military, + but they're conservative, patriotic and they mind their own + business. + + Interviewer questioning a nearby resident of Area 51: "Ever + see something that you can't explain?" + + Resident: "Sure, lots of times." + + Interviewer: "Care to elaborate?" + + Resident: "No." (Laughter). + + On any given night at the Rachel Bar and Grill, you might + find three or four people who work at Area 51. They are among + the flowing Budweiser and the cowboy hats. You might find them, + but they are not going to talk to. Not about the things that + they have seen over the mountain. A steady trickle of curiosity- + seekers flows through here; strangers, drawn by strange stories + of lights in the night sky. Their questions also go unanswered. + No one who has worked at Dreamland has ever publicly acknowledged + what so many people have suspected for years: That alien + technology is being tested in the Nevada desert. + + The speculation first surfaced in documents obtained by UFO + researchers. Documents about something called Project Aquarius. + The document allegedly prepared for an organization called MJ-12, + states that a program to fly recovered alien spacecraft was + + + + + established in 1972 and is continuing in Nevada. The National + Security Agency has confirmed it does have a Project Aquarius but + denies that it has anything to do with flying saucers. NSA will + not say what Project Aquarius is. + + Speculation was heightened in 1984, when the Air Force + seized nearly 90,000 acres around Groom Lake. The action was, by + most accounts, illegal. During Congressional hearings about the + land grab, Congressman John Siberling grilled the military about + the legal authority used in the action and was told the authority + was at a much, much higher level than the Air Force. + Siberling asked what authority is higher than the laws of the + United States? The Air Force official said he could respond, but + only in a closed briefing. In 1987, when the Air Force sought to + renew its stranglehold on the Groom range, news articles once + again mentioned the talk about alien spacecraft and subsequent + articles in national magazines quoted un-named sources about + things of alien origin flying in Nevada. Things that would make + film-maker George Lucas drool. Despite the speculation, no one + who knew Area 51 from the inside ever talked publicly about the + saucer story. + + Bob Lazar: "Well, there's several uh, actually nine uh flying + saucers, flying disks that are out there of extraterrestrial + origin." The live interview with the shadowy "Dennis" drew + international attention. Portions were broadcast by radio in six + European countries, and in a nationally televised TV special in + Japan. + + Despite numerous inquiries and "feelers," "Dennis" has + remained anonymous until now. His real name is Robert Lazar. A + young scientist with eclectic interests. The choice of "Dennis" + was an inside joke -- he says that's the name of his superior at + Groom Lake. It wasn't a joke to Dennis. + + Lazar: "He called right after and said, 'Do you have any idea + what we're going to do to you now?' and I said no, and he hung up + the phone." + + Lazar's story is by any standard, fantastic. He says he's + telling it in order to protect himself. He said he was hired to + work in area called S-4 which is a few miles south of Groom Lake. + At S-4, he says, are flying saucers, anti-matter reactors and + other working examples of technology that is seemingly beyond + human capabilities. + + Lazar: "Right. This stuff came from somewhere else. I know it + is hard to believe, but it is there and I saw it. I know what + the current state-of-the-art is in physics and it it can't be + done." + + Checking out Lazar's credentials proved to be a difficult + task. He says he holds degrees in physics and electronics, but + the schools that we contacted say they've never heard of him. He + says he also worked as a physicist at Los Alamos National + Labs where he worked with one of the world's largest particle + beam accelerators, a half-mile long 'behemoth' capable of + generating seven-hundred million volts. Los Alamos officials + told us they have no record of Robert Lazar ever working there. + They were either mistaken or were lying. A 1982 phone book from + the Lab lists Lazar right there among the other scientists and + technicians. A 1982 news clipping from the Los Alamos newspaper + + + + + profiled Lazar and his interest in jet cars. It, too, mentioned + his employment at the Lab as a physicist. We called Los Alamos + again, and an exasperated official told us he still had no + records on Lazar. EG&G, which is where Lazar says he was + interviewed for the job at S-4, also has no record. It's as if + someone has made him disappear. + + Lazar: "Well, they're trying to make me look non-existent to the + places that I called...." + + Interviewer: "Explain. Called where?" + + Lazar: "Well, the schools that I went to; the hospital that I + was born at; past jobs, and nothing comes up with my name on it." + + He smiles, but out of futility, knowing the whole thing must + sound ridiculous. According to Lazar, his employer was the + United States Navy. He says he and other government employees + would gather near EG&G, fly to Groom Lake, then a very few people + would get into a bus with blacked out or no windows and drive to + S-4. + + Interviewer: "You get off the bus, what do you see?" + + Lazar: "A very interesting building. Its got a slope of + probably about 30 degrees which are hangar doors, and it has + textured paint on it, but it looks like sand. It's made to look + like the side of the mountain that it is in, whether it's to + disguise it from satellite photographs or what...." + + He says he was never told exactly what he would be working + on, but figured it had something to do with advanced propulsion. + On his first day he was told to read a series of briefings, and + immediately realized how advanced the propulsion really was. + + Lazar: "The power source is an anti-matter reactor. They run + gravity amplifiers. There is actually two parts to the drive + mechanism. It's a bizarre technology. There is no physical + hookups between any of the systems in there. They use gravity as + a wave using wave guides that look like microwaves." + + It took awhile, Lazar says, before he actually saw one of + the flying disks, however there were hints everywhere. + + Lazar: "Right. They had a poster, and it looked like a + commercial poster, like it was lithographed, like you could buy + it at K-Mart or someplace, but they were all over the place and + it had the disk that I coined the term 'the floor model' which + lifted off the ground about 3 feet out at the area, in the Dry + Lakes area, and the caption on it said 'They're here.' These + posters were all over the place." + + Later, he got to see the real thing. + + Lazar: "When I was led in, it was the first time that I saw the + 'floor model' in the hangar sitting down, and I was told they + could have walked me in the front door but they purposely wanted + to walk me by it. I was told not to say anything and to keep my + eyes forward and walk past the disk to the office area. And I + did. And as we went by it, I just kinda stuck my hands on it, + just to run it alongside the thing and uh ....After that I got to + see actually lift off the ground and operate." + + + + + Interviewer: "You actually got to see more than one?" + + Lazar: "Yeah. The hangars are all connected together. There + are large bay doors between each one. There were nine total that + I saw, each one being different. Like they had the assortment + pack." + + Security at S-4 was oppressive Lazar said, and his superiors + used fear and intimidation almost as a brainwashing tool. + + Lazar: "They did everything but physically hurt me." + + Interviewer: "They put a gun to your head?" + + Lazar: "Yeah." + + Interviewer: "You mean they actually put a gun to your head?" + + Lazar: "They did that even in the original security briefing. + Guards there with M-16s. Guys there slamming their fingers into + my chest, screaming into my ear, they were pointing weapons at + me. Like I said, it's not a good place to work." + + That fear factor would surface later. Lazar agreed to + undergo a polygraph exam as part of this report. Polygrapher Ron + Clay asked about the technology that Lazar had seen. + + Polygrapher: "Did you knowingly lie when you had actually seen + anti-gravity propulsion in operation?" + + Lazar: "No." + + The results of this exam were inconclusive. Lazar appeared + to be truthful on one test; deceitful on a second. Clay + recommended that a second examiner be brought in. Polygrapher + Terry Tabernetti (sp?) runs a corporate security operation and is + a former Los Angeles police officer.

Tall reed +or cane concealing "flying saucer nests" form a notable feature +of the UFO saga which began(1) with the adventure of George +Pedley, a 27-year-old banana farmer of Euramo near Tully, some +95 miles south of Cairns. + At about 9.00 a.m. on the clear sunny morning of Wednesday, +January 19, 1966, Pedley was driving a petrol tractor across +the property of a friend and neighbour, Mr. Albert Pennisi, +cane farmer and resident of some 19 years. + The farm track along which he drove wound its way towards, +and thence alongside, what is locally known as Horseshoe Lagoon. +This contained an area of still water about 5ft. deep and an +acre or so in extent, much of which was covered by a thick +growth of water reeds, the stems of these, about 1/2in. in +diameter protruding above the surface to a height of +approximately 2ft. + As he approached the lagoon, which was to his right, with +the sun by this time well up in the sky to his left, he thought +he detected a misfire in the tractor motor. Almost immediately +over the noise of the tractor he heard a sharp hissing noise, +and then to his amazement he saw rising from the reeds, +approximately 25 yards to his right and slightly ahead of him, +a saucer-shaped object which ascended fairly slowly to an +estimated height of 60ft., tilted a little to one side and then +with a burst of speed quickly vanished in a south-westerly +direction. Except for the original hissing noise, no other +sound was heard. The total time of observation was estimated at +4 to 5 seconds. + Mr. Pedley stated that the object was approximately 25ft. in +diameter, about 9ft thick at the centre, silver-grey in colour +and generally sharp in outline. He jumped from the tractor and +hurried across to the lagoon from whence the object had +ascended and immediately discovered a circular flattened area +within the tall green reeds. The flattened stems were radially +distributed in a noticeably anti-clockwise manner(2). He was +emphatic that the swathed reeds were at that time quite green, +as were all other reeds outside this area. The swathe of +newly-flattened reeds formed a "nest" of 30ft diameter. + He further noted an area of giant water couch grass +immediately outside the perimeter of the "nest", about a square +yard of which had been apperently clipped short and the +clippings removed. Pedley is positive in recollection that the +water of the "nest" was STILL SWIRLING slightly in a circular +motion at the moment when he first saw it. + After a few minutes he returned to the tractor, started the +motor and went on his way. When questioned later, Mr. Pedley +stated that he could not remember whether or not he switched +the motor off when leaving it, stalled the motor when stopping, +or whether it just cut out after he left it, but is quite +certain that the tractor motor was "dead" when he returned +since he clearly remembers restarting it. The motor electrical +ignition system was the conventional one for the model. + Later in the day he felt that he should tell someone of what +he had seen, so called on Mr. Albert Pennisi, owner of the +lagoon and surrounding property and related to him his +experience. At about 4.00 p.m. they returned together to the +lagoon. Mr. Pennisi stripped, waded out to the "nest" and found +that it was possible to swim through from side to side BELOW +the flattened area, without meeting with any obstruction, +indicating quite clearly that the whole mass of the "nest" was +actually FLOATING on the surface. + Shortly afterwards, at about 5.00 p.m., Mr. Pennisi, using +colour film took a series of photographs. The prints +subsequently obtained, clearly substantiate a remarkable +feature which both witnesses had observed and remarked on. The +flattened reeds in the "nest" had turned noticeably brown, but +ONLY ON THE UPPER SURFACES. The underside of each reed nearest +the water still remained quite green. this "browning" of the +upper surfaces of the reeds had quite obviously taken place +since 9 a.m. that morning. + A resurgence of "nest" phenomena at the same Tully lagoon +has occurred recently (January/February 1968). Sometime +earlier, noting a prediction of sunspot maximum for May 1968 by +the Swiss authority M. Waldmeive, QFSRB [Queensland Flying +Saucer Research Bureau - now; UFO Research Queensland. M.W.] +were primed(3) to the possibility of increased UFO activity in +1968. + With this in mind, it was decided to set up two monitor +stations, No. 1 in the Tully district (North Queensland) and +No. 2 in the South, some 20 miles out of Brisbane. The precise +location of sites must remain undisclosed, since the monitors +operate virtually unattended at some distance from habitation. + The equipment at No. 1 station was set up by Mr. Vince Mele +with the assistance of an electronics friend. The monitor is +built around a photo-cell and sensitive magnetic compass. The +photo-cell light beam is interrupted if magnetic dusturbance is +present, and the fluctuation of photo-cell current then +activates the cine-camera release. The camera (Eumig 8mm auto.) +is energised so long as magnetic field disturbance continues +(five frames exposed per 2-second interval). + During February a spontaneous magnetic field disturbance was +actually recorded during initial trials. On the same day a UFO +sighting was reported by an isolated witness, some eight miles +from the base. Heavy cloud cover in the area impeded further +observation of the UFO flight trajectory. The information was +not enough to provide 100 per cent proof that the detector was +UFO-triggered on this occasion. Nevertheless things looked +quite promising. + At the end of February both monitors were fitted with +cameras, tested and operating. On March 2, Tully lagoon +contained four nests, then about three weeks old. The camera +site was screened from view some 50ft. from the nearest "nest". +On this date radio 4KZ broadcast an arresting news flash! An +airliner en route Cairns to Iron Range had been paced at +6,000ft. for some minutes by a UFO some 2,000ft above the +aircraft. Both airline pilots witnessed the event. Somewhere +over Cooktown area the UFO broke contact and shot off at +enormous speed (described as something like 1,500 m.p.h.). An +inspection of the No. 1 monitor found the camera still in +motion although all 25ft of colour film(4) had been run through +and the batteries were nearly exhausted. The roll of 16-mm film +was removed and reversed for a second run, and new batteries +installed. (Technically this indicates the field perturbation - +cum UFO - was present for the whole 10 minutes the film was +run.) + On March 4, two days later, quite a number of local +inhabitants reported the passage of another UFO. An inspection +of the monitor again revealed that it had been "triggered", but +this time, for some unknown reason, only some 15 or 16 frames +had been exposed. An examination of the batteries which had +been carefully tested and were fully charged when fitted, +revealed that they were quite flat. + The remainder of the film was wound through by hand, removed +from the camera, sealed in the usual container and addressed to +Kodak Ltd., Melbourne, for processing, all of this in the +presence of two reliable witnesses. It was then conveyed to +Tully for posting, the packet was weighed, and the charge was +14 cents. Some 10 days later a letter was received from Kodak +stating that the container, which was returned to the sender, +HAD BEEN EMPTY ON ARRIVAL! The empty container still had the 14 +cent stamp attached, and a quick check at the Post Office +established that the postage on an empty container was 5 cents +only. Further exchanges with Kodak Ltd. produced no results. + The loss of the film was reported to the civil police who +were very co-operative, but after a careful detective +investigation interstate, were unable to shed light on the +mystery of the vanished film so far as can be quoted from +official statement. Unofficially, however, a hint was thrown +out by a person of reliable character and seemingly well +informed in police matters, that it was likely that +Commonwealth authorities had taken possession of the film and +therefore it would be useless to pursue enquiries further. + To complete the "cloak and dagger " atmosphere, even more +bizarre was a seemingly casual suggestion conveyed to one of +the UFO investigators by an individual undoubtedly +knowledgeable in government intelligence activities. This +"contact" advised our UFO researching colleague that NEXT time +the UFO camera ought to be loaded with black and white film. Is +this too incredible? No, probably just the verdict of hard-won +experience in the photographic lab. of "salvaging" difficult +aircraft images, under-exposed and diffused by grain and +distortion. Even perhaps of UFOs? + It is not without interest also to record, shortly after +loss of the film, circa March 13, two R.A.A.F. [Royal +Australian Air Force] helicopters were observed for some time +deploying over the site of the very lagoon significant to the +events described, by the owner of the properties concerned. +Several "saucer nests" were still visible at this date. + Mr. Colin Bennett, M.L.A., [Member of the Legislative +Assembly] Barrister, after studying complete documentation of +the incident, expressed keen interest and promptly offered his +every assistance in inquiries. Mr. Bennett then wrote to +Canberra [Federal Government] concerning the missing UFO film, +presenting, he stated, "a submission to the Commonwealth +Authorities in rather strong terms." + In a reply from Canberra dated August 29, Mr. Gordon Freeth, +Minister for Air stated he was unable to offer any suggestion +as to the fate of the film. He denied positively the Department +of Air had ever, at any time, removed from Kodak Ltd., material +relating to UFOs. + So far a disappointing outcome for UFO researchers. Could it +be that sensible lifemanship indicates the affair might as well +be allowed to fade into limbo? Let the UFOs "buzz-off" so we +can get on with our own affairs. A public philosophy endorsed +by our officialdom! + MORE VISITATIONS + + However the UFOs must be immune to exorcism, or have ignored +the message, since the Cairns-Tully area continues to sport its +UFO-active events. A further "nest" was discovered soon after +on April 25 in a cane field close to Cairns (25 miles north of +Tully). Flattened stems lay in an oval-shaped area 70ft. by +30ft. These were described by a horse-riding party as +completely screened by standing cane. + A more recent close encounter with a UFO (October 1) was +reported by Louie Maule, 35, a Tully district farmer. Near on +8.00 p.m. he was headed north driving home from South +Johnstone, when he saw descending from the night sky, a large +black object ringed with red lights. "I got a shock", Maule +said. "It was GIGANTIC and looked to be slowing up." + The headlights of a passing car momentarily obscured his +vision, and he slowed to a stop. "When I looked again it was +travelling towards South Johnstone at maybe 100 m.p.h." + Interviewed by Vince Mele, the motorist Louie Maule stated +the UFOs' altitude was about 500ft. It was circular in shape, +and about 60ft. in diameter, as clearly out-lined by the red +lights around the perimeter. The red-ringed disc was last seen +to bank and proceed towards the clouds at very high speed. + On the same evening, some 3 miles to the north, Vince Mele +had set up his mobile detector on a hill site overlooking the +surrounding area. Promptly at 8.00 p.m. his detector alarm +sounded and it was two minutes before the alarm re-set itself +automatically. After this, it was quiet for the rest of the +evening. + Although it must be noted that Vince Mele did not himself +see any lights, the October 1 incident now seems to provide +the first good evidence for independent visual sighting +correlated with triggering of the detector by the ambient field +of a UFO.(5) + + A Continued Mystery + + The Tully UFO photographs (presuming something WAS on the +film) are by no means the first UFO shots to disappear from the +Australian scene.

Then it drops this incredible disclaimer: "There are not + now, nor have there ever been, any extraterrestrial visitors or + equipment on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base." + + Little alien corpses kept frozen and hidden away on an Ohio military + base may sound like sci-fi lunacy to the uninitiated. But for 45 years, + this is one UFO story that's refused to go away. And for that the + military has mostly itself to blame. It was, after all, Roswell Army + Air Field in New Mexico that started the whole business in the summer + of 1947 by announcing that it had recovered a crashed "flying disc". + + Never mind that they were quick to say, No, wait, make that a weather + balloon. Over the last decade in particular, a small army of authors, + researchers, and TV hucksters has done a highly imaginative job of + filling in the details of the "Roswell Incident," as it's come to be + known. Unlike most UFO yarns, their stories are based on enough + interviews, photographs, and other evidence to seem...well, not + impossible. + + Ultimately all the stories lead to Wright-Patterson, the headquarters + of 'Project Blue Book' and the site where the wreckage of the spaceship + and the bodies of its crew were allegedly taken for analysis. Then they + come to an abrupt halt. "We know the material was taken to Wright-Pat," + Mark Rodeghier of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies says. "But + that's where the trail grows very cold: we don't have any sources + there." + + That's enough to get the gears of any redblooded space writer racing. + What if I could spend some time poking around the labs at Wright- + Patterson? There's no telling what I might find. Admittedly, the odds + of actually coming back with the goods are slim. But as longtime UFO + investigator Don Berliner points out, "It's potentially the biggest + story ever." + + My first contact with the base public relations staff makes me think + I might be on to something. "The little green men story? I get three + calls a week about it," says Major Aurelia Blake. She assures me + there's no crashed saucer or alien corpses under wraps, but says I'm + welcome to tour the base. A few hours later, however, she calls back. + "Why don't you think about doing something else?", she asks. "We've got + some great wind tunnels here." + + The Roswell Incident dovetails with the birth of the modern era of + flying saucers, so named in June 1947 when a private pilot reported + seeing nine disc-shaped objects flying over Washington's Mt. Ranier + "like saucers skipping on water." That sighting triggered a nationwide + wave of UFO reports that made headlines for months afterwards. + + Far and away the wildest headlines came out of Roswell, where two + weeks after the Mt. Ranier sightings a sheep farmer named Mac Brazel + clumped into the sheriff's office to report something he couldn't + identify cluttering one of his fields -- something, he said, that had + fallen out of the sky and broken into shiny pieces. + + Brazel's ranch lay some 75 miles northwest of Roswell near a tiny + town called Corona, in a stretch of scrub desert neatly triangulated by + what were then arguably the three most security-sensitive military + installations in the world: the Roswell Army Air Field, home of the + 509th Bomb Group, the world's only atomic bomb squadron; Los Alamos, + where the bomb had been developed and was still being refined; and the + White Sands Missile Range. Not surprisingly, Sheriff George Wilcox + suggested that Brazel report his find to authorities at the nearby + Roswell base. + + After sending two officers out to reconnoiter the crash site and + retrieve some samples, the 509th brass went ballistic, mounting a full- + scale recovery effort and firing off its "flying disc" press release. + On Tuesday, July 8, newspapers across the country carried headlines + announcing that Roswell Army Air Field had captured a flying saucer. + + The next day, though, many carried a follow-up story explaining that + the wreckage wasn't a flying saucer after all. After being flown to + Fort Worth Army Air Field, it was identified as the remains of a + weather balloon. An Associated Press wire story that ran in a number of + papers on July 9 described the wreckage as "consisting of large numbers + of pieces of paper covered with a foil-like substance, and pieced + together with small sticks, much like a kite. Scattered with the + materials over an area about 200 yards across were pieces of gray + rubber." + + Before my trip to Wright-Patterson, I tracked down Walter Haut, the + retired base public information officer who wrote the infamous press + release, and asked him if he ever actually saw the wreckage. "No, and I + feel like an idiot every time somebody asks me that," he said ruefully. + "I got a call from the base commander, who basically dictated what was + in the press release." + + And how did he feel when the bottom dropped out of the story? "I + probably wiped the perspiration from my brow and said Thank Goodness, + we're of the hook now," he said. "Very frankly, I don't think I + believed that we had something from outer space. I think most of us + felt we were being hoodwinked somewhere down the pike." + + This is not, incidentally, what Haut believes today. "I feel there + was a crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle near Corona," he says + firmly. What happened in the intervening 45 years to change his mind? + + For a long time, not much. Nobody questioned the military in 1947, so + when the captured disc metamorphosed into a weather balloon, the + explanation was accepted and the story largely forgotten. It was a + revival of the Roswell story in the '70s that convinced Haut and + thousands of others that the Air Force really hadn't been on the up and + up. It began inauspiciously in the person of Stanton Friedman, a + nuclear physicist and well-traveled UFO lecturer. At his talks, + Friedman would occasionally meet people who had been in New Mexico in + 1947. Bit by bit, their stories began to form a picture startlingly + different from the official version's. Friedman dug further with the + help of a friend, William Moore, who in turn enlisted writer Charles + Berlitz of Bermuda Triangle fame to turn their findings into a book + published in 1980 called 'The Roswell Incident'. + + The book blows off the weather balloon explanation as a hastily + concocted cover story and argues that the Air Force really did recover + a crashed saucer, as well as several alien bodies. The wreckage and + bodies were taken to Wright-Patterson for analysis, it said, and + everyone involved in collecting, transporting, and studying them became + part of a massive conspiracy of silence. There's a lot of chaff in 'The + Roswell Incident', including some blatant hokum about Gemini and Apollo + astronauts spotting flying saucers. But the main idea -- that the + government was sitting on a captured saucer -- fell on some fertile + ground. Other books followed, including last year's 'UFO Crash at + Roswell'. Television found the story irresistible. The series 'In + Search Of' did an episode on it. A trashy 1988 production called 'UFO + Cover-up? Live' featured two mysterious "intelligence sources" who + revealed that the captured aliens like Tibetan music and strawberry ice + cream. And in September 1989, 'Unsolved Mysteries' featured the story + on its season premiere, attracting an impressive 28 million viewers. + + The captured saucer idea even took root overseas. "I was visiting + Kapustin Yar, a Soviet missile base, two years ago when the head of the + base asked me if we had any UFOs," recalls Gregg Herken, chairman of + the National Air and Space Museum's department of space history. "I + thought he was kidding at first, but he turned out to be quite + serious." + + It's a good thing the Soviet commander never saw the UFO exhibit in + the world-famous United States Air Force Museum adjacent to Wright- + Patterson, which the PR staff had encouraged me to check out before + coming to the base. It turns out to be a single glass case filled with + fake photos and hoax items that wouldn't cut it on the old Flash Gordon + serials. A blob of melted plastic, a big hunk of cinder, a crumpled + metal ball stuffed with radio tubes, springs, and speedometer cable -- + this is it? An Air Force museum so comprehensive it has a wall covered + with the history of spark plugs , and there's nothing to show for 23 + years of UFO investigations but a pile of rusty junk? Very odd. + + On to the base itself, a vast tract bigger than half of Dayton's + suburbs. An alien rescue team could search the place for six months and + not find their friends. But I know where to look. One place is the + infamous Hangar 18, where the bodies were allegedly stored in deep + freeze. Another is Wright Laboratory, one of four Air Force + "superlabs," where nearly $1 billion is spent annually on research in + propulsion and power, avionics, materials, electronics, and the like. + + If they learned anything from the saucer, there should be signs of it + in the labs. I also, want to see the Foreign Aerospace Science and + Technology Center, the secret facility where the Air Force takes apart + foreign aircraft to see what makes them tick. + + The first thing I learn is that there is no Hanger 18. There's a + Building 18 complex that at one time housed "cold cells," rooms that + could be cooled to sub-zero temperatures to test engines under Arctic + conditions. In 18A I meet Fred Oliver, a folksy division chief and + engineer who's become the base spokesman on the subject of aliens. He + commiserates with me in my disappointment at finding generic government + offices. "I know," he says, "you picture walking into a building with a + big curved top where you go through all these guards, and run your card + through a cipher lock, then there's this spaceship going 'rrrrr, rrrrr' + that gives off a green glow." + + Exactly. How does he know that scene in such detail? Before I can + ask, he's deep into a Viewgraph briefing. You can't meet anybody at + Wright-Patterson without getting a Viewgraph briefing; it's as + automatic as a handshake. It's also a lot like the lessons you used to + get in high school on overhead projectors, except that instead of + scrawled equations or French verb conjugations you get to look at big + bright slides of organization charts and turbine engines. Finally + Oliver works his way to the bottom of a six-inch stack of slides and + asks, "Any questions?" + + "Where are the bodies?" + + "There are no bodies," he says kindly, like a dad breaking the bad + news about the tooth fairy. But if a saucer did crash-land, wouldn't + the remains be at Wright-Patterson? "That's a sensible conclusion," he + admits. "Since the beginning of time, this has been the nation's center + of aerospace R&D." + + I suggest that a good strategy for hiding aliens might be to act like + you've got nothing to hide, bring reporters on base, then overwhelm + them with Viewgraphs. "And walk them till they drop," Oliver agrees. + "I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but give us some credit - + - wouldn't you think we'd be smart enough to hide the bodies if they + were here? Do you really think you'd get to see them?" + + In any case, after a tour of the Building 18 complex, it's clear I'm + not going to see them there. The cold cells are long gone, gutted and + replaced with recon-camera maintenance and repair shops and testing + equipment. The basement of 18A has a huge facility that can pump + pressure- and temperature-controlled air to a number of "environmental + chambers," but there's nothing resembling a 24-hour cryogenic + operation. If the bodies were here, they're gone now. + + My next interview is with Keith Richey, chief scientist of Wright + Laboratory. The determined set of his face tells me he obviously has + better things to do with his time that talk about aliens. "Do you have + the Air Force fact sheet on Project Blue Book?" he asks as soon as I + broach the subject. "My own personal knowledge corroborates that. So + that's where we are on that subject." + + Richey has fascinating tales to tell of running a superlab and + developing the kind of weaponry we saw in Desert Storm and how we'll be + able to launch the next generation of smart bombs from hundreds of + miles away instead of just a few and still park them up somebody's + keister. Eventually I steer the conversation back to aerodynamics and + ask how efficient a saucer shape would be for flying. + + "Well, it's not very efficient," Richey says. "What you want is a + multiplication factor of 20 times the lift for the amount of drag you + generate, and it doesn't generate much lift." + + I try a different tack. What if something dropped out of the sky + tomorrow and was brought to Wright Laboratory for analysis? Could + Richey and his 2,000 scientists and engineers figure out what makes it + go? + + "We could do it," he says, pride getting the best of his no-nonsense + demeanor. "We could take it apart, analyze it, and I don't know how + long it would take, but with enough effort we could find out what it + would do." So presumably if a saucer had shown up at the base in + '47...? Richey doesn't hesitate. "You would have seen it flying. You + would probably be buying tickets for it by now." + + Before I can weigh the implications of that remark, I'm hustled off + to the Flight Dynamics lab for a Viewgraph briefing by Colonel Dick + Borowski. A congenial fighter pilot who saw action in Vietnam, Borowski + smiles and says, "I know you came looking for little green men," then + unleashes a dazzling overview of the new technologies his division is + developing. Acoustic's testing. Thermoplastics. Forebody vortex flow + control. Flight simulation. By the time he's done, I'm too dazed to ask + him where he's hiding the bodies. + + My pulse quickens as I'm led down a maze of hallways and through a + heavily locked door by Richard Moss, chief of cockpit development. No + bodies in the inner sanctum, though -- just a series of rooms with + liquid crystal display screens in various test stages. The first one + shows a simplistic terrain with targets in the air and on the ground, + all irritatingly out of focus. "Here, put these on," a technician says, + handing me a pair of Captain Video sunglasses with tiny on/off buttons + on the frames. + + "Are these a souvenir?" I ask her. + + She laughs. "Those cost $2,000." + + I look at the screen, where suddenly everything is not only in focus + but in 3D. There's a truck in the forefront, then some mountains, then + -- wait a minute! A saucer-shaped object is hovering in the sky. + + "That's a flying saucer," I tell the tech excitedly. + + She squints at the screen. "The red thing? I don't know what that + is." She looks at Moss. + + "That's a transport aircraft," he says. + + There's more rooms and more screens, but I'm too preoccupied to pay + attention. When Moss finally escorts me from the building, he gives me + a meaningful look and says, "You've only seen the tip of the iceberg." + + I start my second day at Wright-Patterson in the museum research + library, hoping to find the original Roswell documents that will cut + through some of the hype. When I tell the librarian what I'm looking + for, he gets a pained look and barks, "Every time they run that damned + Roswell thing in the tabloids all the crazies come out. The old man + [museum director Richard Uppstrom] says he wishes we had one of the + bodies to put downstairs and charge a dollar a pop to see. We'd never + have to ask Congress for money again." + + Disappointingly, the museum's UFO files are in the same league as its + UFO exhibit. There's a ton of Blue Book summary reports along with + University of Colorado and National Academy of Sciences studies + agreeing with the Air Force's conclusion that UFOs don't merit serious + attention. There's a detailed aerodynamic analysis of virtually every + shape UFOs have ever taken, pronouncing them all "impracticable." And + in year after year of briefing papers, there are remarks like this one: + "It is unlikely that positive proof of [flying saucers] existence will + be obtained without examination of the remains of crashed objects." + + Exactly. + + This afternoon's lab run is through the materials directorate, where + after the obligatory Snoozegraph briefing I'm handed off to Lieutenant + Colonel James Hansen. He's got a basement full of wild machinery that + tests composite metals and ceramics for the National Aerospace Plane, + the hypersonic hybrid that will fly into space. + + No bodies here either. But watching strips of exotic metals being + tortured under incredible heat and pressure, I realize I may be a lot + closer to pieces of a crashed saucer than I think. I ask Hansen the + same question I asked Richey yesterday about analyzing something that + dropped out of the sky -- only this time in the past tense. + + "If somebody had brought in composite material 20 years ago, we + wouldn't have had any idea what it was," he admits. "Now, we could take + it apart down to its atoms." Suddenly it all begins to add up -- the + glowing spaceship scene Oliver described, Richey's cryptic boast about + selling tickets, the saucer on the screen, and now Hansen's admission + that we've only recently been able to figure out composites. It's taken + nearly 40 years to crack the secrets of the Roswell wreckage. + + And today we're developing a freak craft that can take off from a + runway and fly into space -- just like flying saucers do. + + Coincidence? Think about it. + + My last shot at finding the bodies is the super-secret Foreign + Technology center. It took negotiations on the order of a Middle East + peace conference to get an appointment there, and I'm pleased to see + that the public information officer waiting for me is a novice filling + in for someone who just quit. No telling where she might take me. + + We drive around the building first. It's a nondescript red and gray + affair, like a warehouse in a suburban industrial park, only a lot + bigger. My guide confides that you need top-secret clearance to get + almost anywhere inside. "It's basically a huge safe," she says. + + We park at the front entrance, greet an officer on the way out, and + step into what might be the lobby of Krupp's Widget Works -- except for + the heavy-duty security desk with the big control panel. I look at my + guide and make an expectant move toward the desk. She doesn't budge. + + "That's it," she says. + + "That's it?" + + "That's all you can see." + + And that's that. + + No flying saucer story would be complete without an anonymous highly + placed military source who spills A Big Secret. Mine didn't materialize + until I got back to Washington, where I brooded for days over what I + had seen -- or hadn't seen, actually. + + Studying a map of New Mexico got me thinking about all the secret + flying and testing that was done at Roswell and Los Alamos and White + Sands after the war. If there was ever a place where something the + military wanted kept under wraps was likely to fall from the sky, it + was central New Mexico in 1947. That thought prompted me to call my + source -- a retired Air Force officer I met while touring Wright- + Patterson who is, alas, still in a position to sensitive to allow his + name to be used. He was way ahead of me. + + "All these years I've been hearing about this Roswell incident," he + said, "and knowing Air Force history like I do, and how hush-hush the + 509th was, I just set it in my mind that they must have crashed with a + nuke that came close to going off, or maybe [exploded but with] a low- + level yield that we don't know about. I could never prove anything one + way or another. But with the 509th that close, and -- well, B-29s + weren't noted for not crashing, let's put it that way." + + It's a nifty theory, but just a theory. Like all good stories, + Roswell expands to accommodate whatever you bring to it. That's the + nature of myths and legends -- they're detailed enough to seem real, + yet fuzzy enough to stay always just beyond the reach of objective + proof. + + In that sense, it was better that I didn't find any bodies. Naturally + I'm disappointed at not having broken the biggest story of all time. + But I've done my part for the legend. Substantive or not, Roswell grows + a little with each retelling. And this one lets you have it both ways. + If you prefer a purely rational, scientific world, you can take comfort + in the fact that my mission was -- just as you knew it would be -- + doomed to failure. + + If you prefer a world filled with mystery and intrigue, well, I + haven't disturbed that either. The Air Force is still covering up a + big-time screw-up...or just now cracking the secret of interstellar + propulsion...or sitting on the biggest cosmic kick in the pants since + the Big Bang. + + Whatever. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Sample copy for $5 can +be obtained from: GPO Box 3126FF, Melbourne, 3001, AUSTRALIA. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +The Cosmic Battleground +Is Modern Man's Interest in UFOs the Response to an Ancient Pattern? +By Yahweh Ben Yahweh + +Millions of people have seen objects in the sky that they could not identify, +and many thousands have taken the time and trouble to submit written reports +about them. The vast majority of these sightings could well be of such things +as meteors, planets, stars, weather balloons, swamp gas, and atmospheric +disturbances. There remain however, a significant body of experiences that are +truly inexplicable. + + There is no doubt that disk shaped objects have been seen by a great many +honest, sober, and mystified men and women. The objects have been tracked by +ground-based and airborne radar and have been photographed by still and movie +cameras in black and white and colour. The craft have been observed to hover, +move straight up or down, and accelerate and manoeuvre at speeds far beyond the +capability of any known aeroplane. + Declassified documents obtained through the U.S. Freedom of Information Act +(FOIA) in the mid-1980s prove that the United States government, the C.I.A. and +Military institutions (and those of other countries) are very interested in the +UFO phenomena years after they publicly claimed that their research on UFO's +had ceased! The United States Air Force Project Blue Book was able to come up +with a 'rationale' for all but 700 out of 12,600 cases of sightings between +1947 and 1969. + Apparently, there was absolutely no way they could dismiss the 700 cases. +Despite the best efforts of the powers-that-be to explain away each and every +UFO sighting, every photograph or other bit of evidence, why is it that over +50% of the U.S. public believe that UFO's exist? The UFO phenomena is a +persistent challenge to mankind. + "I have come to these conclusions," states Robert Achzenner (author, lecturer +and UFO expert). "The unknown objects and their manifestations are real; they +are intelligently controlled; and no government authority or scientific agency +knows what they are, where they are from, or why they are here." Psychologist +Leo Sprinkle, of the University of Wyoming Division of Counselling and Testing +(he is also a consultant for the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), +interviewed dozens of people who claimed to have been aboard UFOs. He stated: +"My guess is that they're more than just a physical phenomenon, that they're a +psychic or spiritual phenomenon too." While Prof. J. Allen Hynek says UFOs +originate in a "parallel reality." + From the end of the second world war to the 1970s 'underground' UFO +researchers came to the consensus, based on available data, that there were two +distinct classes of UFOs. + The basic position has been stated by the doyen of modern Ufologists, Brinsley +le Poer Trench (Lord Clancarty), who concluded there were two types of UFO +phenomena: one is benevolent, and has been around throughout human history; the +other is hostile to humans, perhaps regarding human beings much like a +scientist regards a laboratory rat. + Noted writers such as John Keel have identified this latter type with certain +'dark forces' that have historically plagued mankind. + Over the past three decades a third type of UFO has received increasing +attention from Ufologists, these are man-made UFOs. There is a diversity of +opinion over the specific origins of these man-made UFOs: A secret U.S. +government project; a sinister alliance between extra-terrestrials and the +international elites to produce crafts on Earth; and a surviving remnant of +Nazi UFOs based at the South Pole; are a few of the numerous explanations +canvassed by researchers. + Now for the purpose of this article we will accept that UFO phenomena can be +clearly classified under the following: + 1. THE HEAVENLY HOST - Messengers from the Supreme Being of the Universe. They +appear in radiant or perfect human form, sometimes associated with white light, +having supernatural power. Their message directs man's attention heavenward. +They are emissaries of truth, justice and ultimate reality. In this category we +place the Elohim, an ancient plural Hebrew word that has the meaning of 'Mighty +Divine Ones'. The Elohim are universe builders, while the Most High bears the +name of Yahweh. + 2. THE DARK GODS - Weird-looking 'aliens', 'dark forces' that treat humanity +in a hostile, malevolent, manipulative manner, seeking to dominate and control +the Earth. These are the Satanic forces, cruel gods and fallen angels of +ancient lore. Their actions range from sexual assault, animal/human mutilation, +psychic attack, to inducing trance states in subjects. They seek to keep +humanity in its half-sleep of illusion, bound to the material plane. John A. +Keel referred to these Dark Gods when he wrote: "'Why don't they contact us?' +the sceptics ask. It might be better for us to ask, 'Why didn't they leave us +alone?'" + 3. MAN-MADE UFOs - While this article will not touch on this subject, there +is, however a considerable - and ever growing - body of data that many UFOs are +indeed MAN-MADE. [See other articles in this issue of New Dawn, and the +interview with Nario Hayakawa in New Dawn No. 16 and 17] + Using the first two categories to analyse primeval history and religion we can +easily see how remarkably ancient and modern UFO data dovetail and correlate. + Naturally they are always couched in the particular cultural paradigm of the +era in which they occur. For instance, in the societies of classical antiquity, +and in Biblical times, there is an abundance of documentation pertaining to +'visitations from above'. These take the form of encounters with 'angels', +'spirits', 'beings clothed in white' (and, more significantly, black), 'gods' +appearing, and the endless records of fiery 'chariots', countless 'comets', +swords of light, to the 'suns at midnight' and 'moons at midday'. + Modern man, with his blinkered rationalistic-materialist vision and arrogance +finds it well near impossible to evaluate the records of antiquity with +contemporary paranormal phenomena. He therefore tries to reduce the 'signs, +wonders and portents in the sky' assiduously recorded by the priests, prophets, +savants and wisemen of antiquity to 'mass hysteria', 'ignorant superstition', +or 'misinterpretation of natural things'. Reducing everything to this level +creates a vacuum that inevitably leads to the blindness of humanism, evolution, +moral relativism and conditioned mechanistic thinking. But then these are the +'fruits' of the modern world that limit and distort the human soul! + +What the Ancients Knew + The Japanese have myths and legends which claim that their islands were first +settled by beings who descended from the sky. These stories are a part of the +Japanese culture. + The Eskimos believe they were somehow transported to the Arctic circle in +ancient times. + The natives of the Sahara desert have folklore about blueskinned people from +the sky who had such an impact that certain tribes still dye their skins blue +in emulation of these ancient cosmic beings. + Deep in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains of China there is a tribe of diminutive +people about four feet high. Hieroglyphs have been found in that region (on the +border of China and Tibet) by Russian archaeologists. When translated, these +records describe how members of the Dropa tribe came to Earth in some kind of +spacecraft. The stone disks bearing these inscriptions have been dated at about +twelve thousand years. Ancient graves have also been found there containing +small human bodies with huge craniums and underdeveloped skeletons. + According to Dr. Ivar Lissner the ancient peoples of China have existed on the +Earth for thousands upon thousands of years. + African skeletons discovered by anthropologists, buried in the caves of +Kilimanjaro, have been dated from around 73,000 years ago. Many African +religions tell us that the first people were sent down by the "Gods" to build +the world, and in that remote "time before Time" there was no great separation +of people from the Gods. But there came a moment when people offended the Gods +by their acts of greed and selfishness, and the Gods decided to withdraw from +the people. In some versions the Gods simply pulled up the ladder or rope which +joined heaven with the world, and which the first African people could move up +and down as they wished. + The next time you hear an African American rap musician saying, "the original +man is the Black man," you might consider that he is reciting a tradition +carried down from the most ancient African myths. + Today, the Nation of Islam in North America teaches that the Black man was the +first man to arrive on Earth. The Black Muslims await the return of the 'Mother +Ship' to take the faithful back to heaven prior to Armageddon. + In the writings of the ancient Egyptians we have the story of their original +homeland of Atlatcan or Atlantis. How in the days of this Golden Age the +children of the Almighty (the Elohim) used to come and go from heaven to Earth +in celestial chariots. + The people of Atlantis could see these Elohim or celestial beings at times, +and hear them and their music, but as they moved among them they could not hear +a sound from their movement. Then one day evil beings came to Earth and led the +people into all manner of depravity and rebellion. + These Dark Gods seized control of Atlantis and the Elohim withdrew from their +close contact with the people, with the result that a large portion of the +Atlantean race became a prey to the selfish use of power and intermarried with +the Dark Gods and their invading Serpent race. + The ancient Akkadian records tell a similar story of how in the battle between +the Great Gods, the evil deity brought warlike 'swordsmen and axemen' down to +Earth from outer space. + Then there are other arcane myths, legends and lore that tell of even older +civilisations, such as Lemuria. How old races degenerated and disappeared +altogether or were absorbed by the newly arrived dominant races. + Also archaeologists digging in the Middle East have found artifacts which +indicate that Neanderthal, CroMagnon, and modern man all existed during the +same period. This not only shoots down the theory of evolution, but it suggests +that modern man - a creature with a conscience and a consciousness - was +separate and distinct from the primitive creatures. + Of equal surprise to the evolutionists is the fact, discovered by recent +excavation, of the suddenness with which civilisation appeared in the world. Dr +H. R. Hall writes in his History of the Near East, "When civilisation appears +it is already full grown". + Did all Earth's ancient civilizations and peoples - and by extension our own - +have their origins outside this planet? + The myths, legends and sacred records of antiquity, together with the great +discoveries of archaeology, confirm that the races and peoples of planet Earth +are descendants of earlier civilisations which existed thousands, even +millions, of years ago. + These very civilisations owe their genesis to the direct intervention of +beings from another dimension. This explains the finding of ethnology and +anthropology, as Prof. Howells concludes in Mankind So Far: "The great, +familiar racial stocks, the White, Yellow, and Black, obviously represent an +ancient separation." As one of England's greatest 19th century scholars wrote: +"Mankind sprang not from one, but from many centres over the globe! Turn +whithersoever we may, on every hand, we behold the giant shapes of ancient +empires, which flit like dim shadows evoked by a master hand!" + +Enter Adam and Eve + The story of Adam and Eve can be found in the ancient writings of the +Phoenicians, Sumerians, Hebrews, and many other ancient peoples. + Traditionally, Biblical scholars have placed the genesis of Adamic +civilisation at 4000 B.C., though others put forward an earlier date of +approximately 5400 B.C. The Genesis story, as it is recorded in the Old +Testament, far from discounting the thesis we have put forward above, actually +verifies and clarifies it. The process of creation explained in the first +chapter of the Book of Genesis may well have covered a quite considerable +period of time. + The opening verse of Genesis states: "In the beginning Elohim created the +heavens and the Earth." (Holy Name Bible) When the 'beginning' was we are not +told. Ferrar Fenton renders this verse: "By periods God created that which +produced the Solar Systems; then that which produced the Earth." + Reading verse 2, we find a remarkable declaration, "And the Earth became +without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the +Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters." (Holy Name Bible) Note +that in Hebrew, it says, "Now the earth HAD BECOME chaotic and empty." (See +Rotherham's Emphasized Bible). That is, some early catastrophe had wrecked the +earth, which was not "without form and void" before that (see Jeremiah +4:23-27). + From verse 26 of the first chapter of Genesis we read: "And Elohim said, Let +us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them rule over the fish +of the sea, and over the birds of the heaven.... So Elohim created man in His +image, in the image of Elohim created He him; male and female created He them. +And Elohim blessed them and Elohim said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, +and replenish the Earth..." + Note that you cannot 'replenish' something that was never filled before. By +the beginning of chapter two we are told, "Thus the heavens and the Earth were +completed, and all their host." (Holy Name Bible) + However, reading further in the second chapter we discover verses 7 and 8 +stating, "And YAHWEH Elohim formed man [the Hebrew word ADAM] of the dust of +the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man [ADAM] +became a living soul. And YAHWEH Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden; and +there He put the man [ADAM] whom he had formed." Verse 21 and 22 tells us: "And +YAHWEH Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man [ADAM], and he slept: +and He took the tsela and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the tsela +which YAHWEH Elohim had taken from man, made He a women and brought her unto +the man." (Holy Name Bible) + +Two Creation Stories + Evidently, there are two distinct creation stories. + The first chapter of Genesis deals with the Elohim's re-creation of the Earth +over great periods and the bringing forth of men and women by the Elohim to +"replenish the Earth." Chapter two relates how YAHWEH Elohim, at a period +following the earlier Elohim creation, forms a physical body and places in it +the "breath of life" so that "Adam became a living soul". + Yahweh Elohim later makes the physical body of Eve out of a portion of Adam. +Beginning with Adam and Eve, the Bible becomes the log book of the children of +Adam and their relationship to their Most High Yahweh Elohim (see Genesis 5:1). + The process of creation explained in symbols and allegory in Genesis chapter +two is in a sense a specific microcosm of the universal creation, but it is +particular to Adam. + We are told that Adam was an androgynous being directly linked with Yahweh +Elohim, the Most High of the universe. He was an 'ultraterrestrial' having a +glorious celestial form enveloped with light and energy. + Once his descent occurred, he was given a companion. Adam's mission was to +facilitate the transference of the celestial children of Yahweh to Earth and +the establishment of the Kingdom of Yahweh on this planet. + The planet was already inhabited by various life forms. There were people who +were the survivors of the great civilisations of antiquity like Atlantis, +Lemuria and the "time before Time" when the Elohim walked with men. There were +primitive animals, which might have included cavemen as well as lower beasts. + There were also thousands, if not millions, of nonphysical beings from the +world of higher frequencies. These beings are known as the fallen angels or the +Dark Gods and they are identified in the Bible as the angels that rebelled. + The Archangel Lucifer was once given dominion over many islands in the +universe, chief of which was the planet Earth. Then, when he rebelled against +the government of Yahweh, he retreated to the planet Earth, hence he is +referred to as Satan and as the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). + We learn from the writings of Enoch that Lucifer travelled throughout the +Universe on ships of fire and that angels formed the great couriers of his +legions. Here on Earth the final combat shall take place. + +'Advance party' + Adam had a celestial body and had volunteered to come to Earth as what we +might call the 'advance party' to commence the process that would see the sons +and daughters of Yahweh incarnated out of the celestial realms. Transferred +from heaven to Earth to do battle with the forces of the Adversary. + Adam and Eve were given very specific instructions by their Heavenly Father +Yahweh Elohim. The Book of Genesis tells us of the seduction of Eve by Lucifer +and Adam's acquiescence, in direct violation of the divine law. Consequently, +they 'fell' from their 'ultraterrestrial' state, lost their radiant glory and +their bodies became wholly physical subject to sickness and death. + Through the process of physical birth, their offspring were spirits trapped in +the material plane. Now in mortal bodies of flesh, blind to their celestial +origin the children of Adam moved out across the planet. + The power of spiritual perception was mutated by the 'fall' and they were +exiled on this planet. They became 'strangers and pilgrims in the Earth'. Of +them the Psalmist wrote: "I [Yahweh] have said, Ye are Elohim; for all of you +are children of the Most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of +the princes. Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth: for Thou shalt inherit all +nations." (Psalm 82) + Yes, this was all within the Divine Plan of the ages. The Earth had come along +way from the endless yesterdays and now was entering the final short round of +human civilisation. The stage was now set for the battle between the children +of the women and the children of Satan (see Genesis 3:15). A physical +battlefield was being prepared. + Is our contemporary interest in UFO's and outer space the response to some +ancient pattern? + +The Last Days + In our age there is a great dividing taking place. + While many people are carried further and further into mental captivity and +spiritual blindness, there is a remnant whose consciousness is stirring. A +comparatively small group of scattered seekers are yearning for something long +forgotten. In other words they are searching for their real roots, for they +have been there. + Could this be the stirring of the 'astral seed'? The awakening of an ancient +memory? + The greatest discovery may yet be the awakening of the sons and daughters of +Yahweh to their relationship to Him, what they were originally sent here for, +and how that mission is to be carried out. How they are to fulfil their +responsibilities for the restoration of this part of the Universe that is out +of adjustment. + Then when all this is brought back to their remembrance they will truly +appreciate the words, "lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh". + +*************************************************************************** +Reprinted with permission from Kingdom Revival, P.O.

Starting early Dec 89 the BAF has been contacted on several + occasions by eyewitnesses who observed strange phenomena in + the Belgian airspace. On some occasions they described the + phenomena as a triangle-shaped platform up to 200 feet wide + with 3 downward beaming projectors, hovering at +- 100 meters + above the ground and making only a very light humming noise. + Some witnesses saw the object departing at very high speed + after a very fast acceleration. All observations were made in + the evening or during the night. + +2. The radar stations which had been alerted by eyewitnesses + could not definitely determine a correlation between the + visual observations and their detections on radar. On two + occasions the BAF scrambled 2 F16 during the evening hours. + + a. On the first occasion the F16 arrived +- 1 hour after the + visual detection. Nothing was observed. + + b. On the second occasion, pilots could identify a laser + beam projector on the ground. After investigation it + appeared however that the description of the observations + totally differed from previously described phenomena. + +3. Consequently the Belgian Air Force, anxious to identify the + origin of the phenomena, authorized F16 scrambles if following + conditions were met: + + a. Visual observations on the ground confirmed by the local + police. + + b. Detection on radar. + + +EVENTS + +4. On 30 Mar 1990 at 23.00 Hr the Master Controller (MC) of the + Air Defence radar station of Glons received a phone call from + a person who declared to observe three independent blinking + lights in the sky, changing colors, with a much higher + intensity than the lights of the stars and forming a triangle. + Meteorological conditions were clear sky, no clouds, light + wind and a minor temperature inversion at 3000 Ft. + +5. The MC in turn notified the police of WAVRE which confirmed + the sighting at +- 23 30 Hr. Meanwhile the MC had identified + a radar contact at about 8 NM North of the ground observation. + The contact moved slowly to the West at a speed of =- 25kts + and an altitude of 10.000 Ft. + +6. The ground observers reported 3 additional light spots which + moved gradually, with irregular speeds, towards the first set + of lights and forming a second triangle. + +7. At 23.50 a second radar station, situated at +- 100 NM from + the first, confirmed an identical contact at the same place of + the radar contact of Glons. + +8. At 00.05 Hr 2 F16 were scrambled from BEAUVECHAIN airbase and + guided towards the radar contacts. A total of 9 interception + attempts have been made. At 6 occasions the pilots could + establish a lock-on with their air interception radar. Lock- + on distances varied between 5 and 8 NM. On all occasions + targets varied speed and altitude very quickly and break-locks + occurred after 10 to 60 seconds. Speeds varied between 150 + and 1010 kts. At 3 occasions both F16 registered simultaneous + lock-ons with the same parameters. The 2 F16 were flying +- + 2 NM apart. No visual contact could be established by either + of the F16 pilots. + +9. The F16 flew 3 times through the observation field of the + ground observers. At the third passage the ground observers + notified a change in the behavior of the light spots. The + most luminous started to blink very intensively while the + other disappeared. Consequently, the most luminous spot + started to dim gradually. + +10. Meanwhile the head of the police of WAVRE had alerted 4 other + police stations in the area. All four, separated +- 10 NM + from each other, confirmed the visual observations. + +11. The aircraft landed at 01.10 Hrs. The last visual observation + was recorded at +- 01.30 Hrs. + +CONCLUSIONS + +12. The BELGIAN Air Force was unable to identify neither the + nature nor the origin of the phenomena. However, it had + sufficient elements to exclude following assumptions: + + a. Balloons. Impossible due to the highly variable speeds + (confirmed visually and by radar). + + b. ULM. Same as for balloons. + + c. RPV. Impossible due to the hovering characteristics. + + d. Aircraft (including Stealth). Same as for RPV. No + noise. + + e. Laser projections or Mirages. Unlikely due to lack of + projection surface (no clouds). Light spots have been + observed from different locations. Light spots moved + over distance of more than 15 NM. Form of unlighted part + of spots has been observed with spectacles. Laser + projections or mirages can not be detected by radar. + + {signed} + W. DE BROUWER + Kol Vl SBH + VS3 + +THAT REPRESENTS THE WHOLE DOCUMENT AS RECEIVED. It was described +by E.

You're reading the clicks, I can't + hear the clicks. That about the center Bruce? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Halt: O.K., lets go to the center. That's the best deflection + needle I've seen yet. O.K., can you give me an estimation. + + Soldier: We're on the point five scale, and we're getting, we're + getting right at, uh, a half of a milliroentgen. + + Halt: That's point. + + Soldier: I haven't seen it go any higher. + + Halt: O.K., we'll go out toward the... + + Soldier: Now it's picking up. + + Halt: This is out toward the Level One indentation where we first + got the strongest reading. It's similar to what we got + before. + + Soldier: This looks like an area here possibly that could be a blast. + Soldier: It just jumped to 17. + + Halt: What? + + Soldier: It just jumped to 7 tenths. + + Halt: Seven tenths, right there in the center? + + Soldier: Uh, huh. + + Halt: We found a small blast, what looks like a blasted, or, + scruffed up area here. We're getting very positive readings. + Lets see, is that near the center? + + Soldier: Yes it is. + + Halt: Up to seven tenths. Seven units lets call it on the point + Five scale. O.K., why don't we do this. Why don't we make + a sweep. + + Soldier: Here, I got my gloves on now. + + Halt: Lets make a sweep out around the whole area, + + Halt: about 10 foot out. Make a perimeter run around it, starting + right back here at the corner. Back at the same first corner + where we came in. Lets go right back here. I want to depend + on you to count the clicks. + + Soldier: Right. + + Halt: O.K. lets...right put the light on it, lets sweep around it. + Put it on the ground every once in a while. + + Soldier: This looks like an abrasion on the tree. + + Halt: O.K., we'll catch that on the way back, lets go around, hit it + there. + + Soldier: I got an interesting one over here, looks like an abrasion + point into the center. + + Halt: It is. It may be old though, there's some sap marks or + something there. Lets go on back around. + + Soldier: They ought to give us an extension on that. + + Halt: Yeah, this is an awkward thing to use isn't it. Are we getting + anything further?, I'm going to shut this recorder off until + we find something. + + Soldier: Picking up here. + + Halt: Picking up? What are we up to? We're up to 2 3 units of + deflection. You're getting in close to one pod. + + Soldier: Picking up something here. Picking up. + + Halt: O.k., its still not going above 3 or 4 units. + + Soldier: Right. It's picking up more though. More frequent. + + Halt: Yes, you're staying steady up around 2 to 3...to 4 units now. + + Soldier: Get one of these trees that's facing the blast. What we assume + is the landing sight. All around an abrasion that's facing in + the same direction towards the center. + + Halt: That's interesting, lets go this way around the circle. Turn + it back down here. + + Halt: Let me see that. You know that's kind of funny, that's, your + right about the abrasion. I've never seen a tree that's, uh, + never seen a pine tree that's been damaged, react that fast. + + Soldier: I have a bottle to put that in. + + Halt: Yeah, you have a sample bottle? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Halt: Yeah, put this stuff in. + + Soldier: You notice their all the same color. + + Halt: O.K., from now on lets, lets, lets identify that as point + number one. That stake there. So you all know where it is + if we have to sketch it. You got that side Nevells? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Halt: O.K., closest to the Woodbridge Base. + + Soldier: That will be point one. + + Halt: Be Point one. Lets go clockwise from there. + + Soldier: Point Two. + + Halt: Point Two, so this tree is between point two and point three. + Radio: (Two other personnel requesting Halts location) + + Halt: Tell them negative at this time. We'll tell them when they + can come out here. Don't want them out here right now. + O.K., the sample, your gonna want this sample number one. + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Halt: Have them cut it off and include some of that sap and all, + + is between indentation two and three on a pine tree about, uh + five feet away, about 3 and a half feet off the ground. + There's a round abrasion on the tree about, uh, 3 and a half, + or four inches in diameter. It looks like it might be old, + but, uh... + + Halt: Strange, there's a crystalline pine sap that's come out that + fast. You say there's other trees here that are damaged with + similar things? + + Soldier: Yes, over towards the landing sight. + + Halt: O.K., why don't you take a picture of that, and remember your + picture. Hey, you ought to be writing this down. Well, it's + going to be on the tape. + + Soldier: You got a tape measure with you? + + Halt: This is the picture, your first picture will at the first + tree. The one between, uh, mark 2 and 3. Meantime, I'm + going to look a couple of these trees over here... + + Halt: Are you getting any readings on the trees your taking samples + from?, on the side facing the suspected landing sight? + + Soldier: 4 clicks, max. + + Halt: Up to 4. Interesting. That's right where you're taking the + sample now. + + Soldier: Four. + + Halt: That's the strongest point on the tree? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Soldier: If you come up to the back, there's no clicks whatsoever. + + Halt: No clicks at all on the back, it's all on the, the side + facing the...interesting. All the tissues look like something + twisted it, as it sat down on them. Looks like someone took + something and sat it down and twisted it from side to side. + + Soldier: Uh, huh. + + Halt: Very strange. We're up at the same tree we took the sample + off with this, what do you call it, starscope? + + Soldier: Uh, huh. + + Halt: Getting a definite heat reflection off the tree, about three + to four feet off the ground. + + Soldier: Yes. At the same spot. + + Halt: Same place as the spot is, we're getting a heat... + + Soldier: On the spot on the tree directly behind us, I picked up the + same thing, the one off to your right. + + Halt: Three trees in the area, immediately adjacent to the sight, + within ten feet of the suspected landing sight, we're picking + up heat reflection off the trees. What's that again? + + Soldier: Well, shine the light on it again Bob. + + Halt: You having trouble? O.K., turn the light on. + + Soldier: When you turn the light on, you'll notice the white. + + ** Halt: Hey! + + Halt: You're right there's a white streak on the tree. + + Soldier: Yeah, indicates, uh... + + Halt: Let me turn around and look at this tree over here now, just + a second. Why don't you direct it towards this tree. I can + see it. O.K., now give me a little side lighting so I can + climb the tree. O.K., uh, I lost the tree. O.K., stop, stop. + Light on. Hey, this is eerie. This is strange, here, someone + want to look at the spots on the ground. O.K., lets step + back and not walk all over it. Come back here and somebody + put a beam on'em. We're going to have to come back 10 or 15 + feet. O.K., lights off. Yeah. O.K., that's what we'll call + spot number 3. Lets go to the back part and get spot number + one. Spot number one, here's spot number one right here. + Spot number one right here. Need some light? There it is + right there. Focused? O.K., look around spot number one + through the Starlight scope. + + Soldier: Picking up a slight increase in light as I go over it. + + Halt: Slight increase in light at spot number one. Lets go look + at spot number two. + + Halt: Spot number two's right over here. Right here, see it? + O.K., get focused on it, tell me when. O.K., lights on, + lets see what we get on it. + + Soldier: Slight increase. + + Halt: Just a slight increase? + + Soldier: I'll try to center it. + + Halt: It's slightly off centered, it's right there. Better get + your reading on it right there. + + Soldier: O.K. + + Halt: Tell me when your ready. + + Soldier: Ready. + + Halt: O.K., lights on. This is the center spot we're looking at + now, or almost the center. + + Soldier: Slight increase. + + Halt: Slight increase there. This is slightly off centered toward + the, uh, one two side. It's some type of abrasion or + something in the ground where the pine needles are all pushed + back and we get a high reading about, uh, deflection of two to + three, maybe four, depending on the perimeter. + + Soldier: Yes, you say there's a positive after effect? + + Soldier: Yes, there is definitely...that's on the center spot. + + Soldier: There is an after effect. + + Soldier: Whats that mean? + + Soldier: Means that when the lights are turned off, once we are + focused in and allow time for the eyes to adjust, we are + getting an indication of a heat source coming out of that + center spot. Which will show up on... + + Soldier: Heat or some form of energy, hardly heated at this stage of + the game. + + Halt: Looking directly overhead, one can see an opening in the + trees, plus some freshly broken pine branches on the ground + underneath. Looks like some of them came off about 15 to + 20 feet up. Some small branches, about an inch or less in + diameter. + + ** Halt: It's 0148, we're hearing very strange noises out of the + Farmer's barnyard animals. There very, very active making + + awful lot of noise. You just saw a light? Where? + + Soldier: Yeah + + Halt: Wait a minute now, slow down, where? + + Soldier: Right up in this position here, straight ahead, in between + the tree...there it is again! Watch. + Straight ahead off the flash back there Sir. There it is. + + Halt: Yeah, I see it too. What is it? + + Soldier: We don't know Sir. + + Halt: Yeah, it's a strange small red light, looks to be maybe a + quarter to a half mile, maybe further out. I'm going to + switch off for awhile. + + Halt: The light is gone now, it was approximately 120 degrees, is + it back again? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. + + Halt: Well douse the flashlights then. Lets go out to the edge of + the clearing so I can get a better look at it. See if you + can get the Starscope on it. The light's still there and + all the barnyard animals have gotten quiet now. Yeah, we're + heading about 110 or 120 degrees from the sight, I'm through + to the clearing now, still getting a reading on the meter. + About two clicks. Just counted 3 to 4 clicks, getting + stronger. + + Soldier: Now it's stopped. Now it's coming up, hold on, there we go. + About 4 foot off the ground with a compass heading of 110 + degrees. + + Halt: Turn the meter off, now say that again. About 4 feet off the + ground, about 110 degrees, getting a reading of about 4 + clicks? + + Soldier: Yes Sir. Now its died. + + Halt: Now its died. I think it's something other than the ground. + I think its somethings that, something very weird. + + Soldier: How about the tree right over... + + Halt: We just _______ the first night _______ we've seen. We're + about 150 or 200 yards from the sight. The woods are just + deadly calm. There is no doubt about it, there's some type + of strange flashing red light ahead. + + Soldier: There, it's yellow. + + Halt: I saw a yellow tinge in it too. Weird, it, it appears that + he may be moving it this way? It's brighter than it has been. + + Soldier: Yellow. + + Halt: It's coming this way!, it's definitely coming this way. + Pieces of it are shooting off. There is no doubt about it, + this is...weird. It is definitely... + + Soldier: Two lights, one light to the right, one light to the left. + + Halt: O.K., keep the flashlights off. There's something very, very + strange. Keep the headset on, see if it gets any stronger. + O.K., give us a rundown. + + Soldier: Notation that this is on a Beta reading too. + + Halt: It's on a Beta reading, O.K. + + Soldier: But it still has been removed. + + Halt: O.K. + + Halt: Pieces are falling off it again. + + Soldier: And it just moved to the right. + + Halt: Yeah! + + Soldier: Just off to the right. + + Halt: Strange...Why did it go left? + + Halt: Lets, lets approach to the edge of the woods up there, O.K.? + You wanna do without lights? Lets do it carefully, come on. + + Halt: O.K., we're looking at the thing, we're probably about 2 to + 300 yards away, it looks like an eye winking at you. It's + still moving from side to side, and when you put the starscope + on it, it, it sort of has a hollow center, a, a, dark center. + It's, It's, you know, like the pupil of an eye looking at you, + winking. And the flash is so bright to the starscope that, + a, it almost burns your eye. + + Halt: We passed the Farmer's house and crossed into the next field, + and now we have multiple sightings, of up to 5 lights with a + similar shape and all. But they seem to be steady now, rather + than a pulsating or glow with a red flash. + + Halt: We just crossed the creek. + + Soldier: Here we go, strong. + + Halt: And, uh, we're getting what kind of readings now? + + Soldier: Three clicks. + + Halt: Three good clicks on the meter and we're seeing strange lights + in the sky. + + Halt: At 0244 we're at the far side of the Farmer's, second Farmer's + field. And made sighting again, about 110 degrees. This + looks like it's clear out to the coast, it's right on the + horizon. Moves about a bit, and flashes from time to time. + Still steady or __________ encounter. Also after negative + readings in this other field, we're picking up, a, slight + readings, a, 4 or 5 clicks now, on the meter. + + Halt: 0305, we see strange strobe like flashes to the, rather + sporadic but there's definitely something, some kind of + phenomena. + + Halt: 0305, at about 10 degrees horizon, directly North, we've got + two strange objects, uh, half-moon shaped, dancing about + colored lights on them. At, uh, what I would guess to be + about 5 to 10 miles out, maybe less. The half-moons are now + turning full circles. It's although there was an eclipse or + something there for a minute or two. + + Halt: 0315, now we've got an object about 10 degrees directly South. + 10 degrees off the horizon. And the ones to the North are + moving. One's moving away from us. + + Soldier: They're moving out fast! + + Soldier: This one on the right is heading away too! + + Halt: And they're both heading North. Here he comes from the South, + he's heading toward us now. Now we're observing what appears + to be a beam coming down to the ground. This is unreal. + + Halt: 330, or 0330 and the objects are still in the sky although + the one that's South looks like it's losing a little bit of + altitude. We're turning around, heading back towards the + base. The object to the, the object to the South is still + beaming down lights to the ground. + + Halt: 0400 hours, one object still hovering over Woodbridge Base + at about 5 to 10 degrees off the horizon, still moving + erratic, and similar lights, and beaming down as earlier. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE + + HEADQUARTERS COMBAT SUPPORT GROUP (USAFC) + + APO NEW YORK + +REPLY TO: 13 JAN 81 + CD +ATIN OF. + +SUBJECT: Unexplained Lights + +TO: RAF/CC + + 1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L),two USAF + security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the back gate at + RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have crashed or been force + down, they call for permission to go outside the gate to investigate. + The on-duty flight chief responded and allowed three patrolmen to pro- + ceed on foot.The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object + in the forest.The object was described as being metallic in appearance + and triangular in shape, approximately two to three meters across the + base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire fo- + rest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on + top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering + or on legs. As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered th- + rough the trees and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby + farm went into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately + an hour later near the back gate. + + 2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in diameter + were found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The foll- + owing night (29 Dec 80) the area was checked for radiation.Beta/Gamma + readings of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak reading in the + three depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the + depressions. A nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07)readings on the side + of the tree toward the depressions. + + 3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the tree + . It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw off + glowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects + and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, 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 thro- + ugh 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.

Downing was so convinced, he wrote a book + about his theory called THE BIBLE AND FLYING SAUCERS (Lippincott, + New York, 1968). + + In the book, Downing says the bible clearly points out how UFOs + played a strong role in the evolution of the Hebrew-Christian + faith. For example, Downing believes the Scriptures suggest that + Jesus' resurrection occured when he was beamed up from Earth by a + flying saucer. + + Downing also believes that the bright cloud that led the people + of Israel through the Red Sea, parting the waters and then + engulfing the Egyptions, was a UFO. + + The Author even claims it was space beings who spoke to Moses + from the middle of a glowing thicket, and later spoke to Elijah + outside the cave, forcing the prophet to sheild his eyes because + of the brightness. A UFO took Jesus away at the Ascension, and + hovered over Paul and his followers on the Damascus Road, Downing + contends. + + Further, the author claims the three wise men probably followed + a UFO to Bethlehem, since stars do not move or abruptly stop in + the manner the bible describes. + + Downing claims that evidence proving UFOs could be hazardous to + human health can also be found in the Bible. He points to + references to the Egyptians drowning in the Red Sea, warning Moses + not to approach too near the burning bush, and warnings given his + followers not to approach Mount Sinai, as proof. The author + points out other mystifying events in the Bible that he believes + can only be interpreted to mean the participants had contact with + UFOs. + + For example, he points out that when Moses decended from Mount + Sinai with two tablets in his hands, Exodus records that the skin + of his face shone from talking with God. And he says the NEW + TESTAMENT describes how Jesus began to glow when in contact with a + bright object on a mountain. + + + Page 1 + + When the Tabernacle was built, Downing cotends the priests + serving it were told by ETs what clothing to wear to protect + themselves against radiation, because the UFO hovered like a cloud + over the tent enclosing the Tabernacle. Downing believes this + precaution could have brought about the Jewish custom of wearing + skullcaps into houses of worship. The author even suggests + mutations in the growth of biological life caused by radiation + could have resulted in the plagues described in Exodus. + + Downing further theorizes that Einstein's curvature of space + theory provides aclue to the place where heaven is located. The + author contends Jesus may have meant that the kingdom of heaven + quite literally rests in the midst of us, meaning that heaven is + on an entirely different plane or wave length, invisible to us, + but existing parallel to our own and connected by bends or warps + in the space-time continuum. + + 06/01/90 + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + this file provided to KeelyNet courteousy of + the Darkside BBS at 314-644-6705 + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + Vangard Notes... + + The burning bush is distinctly reminescent of an effect which + can be induced by a high frequency/high voltage Tesla coil. + Any mass can be made to emit visible light at high voltages. + Another possibility is a plasma excited from behind or within + the bush. + + We refer you to the file on KeelyNet entitled MARS1.ZIP or + .ASC (for non-IBM).

Janice's Parents were here from Phoenix, Arizona for the occasion + of Lee's graduation from High School. Janice and her mother were + swapping stories in the living room in my presence, about snoring. In + attempting to illustrate how badly I snore, Janice turned to me and + said "don't you remember at the cabin with Rick and Judy a few years + ago everyone voting that you had to sleep in the van because of your + snoring?". I stood there dumfounded in shock for a few seconds that + seemed more like minutes. Images too numerous to fix upon were flashing + through my mind as the shock was being overcome by an inexplicable + sense of fear pervading my being. + + As the fear progressed, I mumbled something, perhaps oh sure and + turning away, walked out onto the patio. I smoked and sat and smoked + and paced. I was in a peculiar state of confusion. I was attempting to + understand the irrational fear that I was experiencing while, at the + same time trying to make some sense of the imagery happening in my + head. I caught glimpses of bright light with strange shadow-like + figures within. + + I heard a mid-pitched drone. Through the open back windows of the + van, I saw a big bright star. Being ordinary enough images, I was + having trouble tying them to my fear. For three days I carried this + within me. With each passing day, while the fear abated, my aggitation + grew. + + Finally on the night of the third day, Janice and I sat on the patio + for our late hour talk as is our custom. My emotional being had reached + the state were I could no-longer hold it within. Thus, I cautiously + approached the subject. "Do you remember the other night telling your + mother about my snoring" I said. "Up at their folk's cabin at Pulga?" I + asked. When she indicated yes, I proceeded to share with her my fear as + well as the imagery that I had experienced. + + My regression sessions (2) followed some three months later in + September. What came out of those sessions as well as additional + ensuing memories will follow the Prelude to set the stage, which is the + next message. + + I hope that my methods of description in the forgoing will not be + construed as having been overly dramatic. My purpose was to share the + emotional range that I underwent and to a degree, am still undergoing. + In the past two years, at this location (North Highlands), the same + sort of light has been onbserved along with the multi-colored cotton + balls as well as the droning sound, from my bedroom window in the + middle of the night. The light awoke me from a sound sleep and I + remember vividly, my first thought upon that awakening. Oh No...not + again...was the thought. This occured prior to the partial memory + awakening in June that precipitated the Hypno-regression sessions. + + From the age of 5 I have been trained to observe detail. As a nearly + life-long martial artist with my primary training in an internal, soft + style, I can and do sometimes on an involuntary basis, sometimes + consciously, extend my awareness. Thus, things do not easily take me by + surprise. I do not react to fear in the same manner that most people + do. Rather than become immobilized, I tend to flow with it and channel + it into responsive action. + + In light of the above, it would be hoped that one can begin to + appreciate the inner anguish that I have felt as a result of this + experience. I have this inner need to know. I am patient, it will come. + + -Clark + + + The Prelude: + + On a weekend prior to mid-month in August 1990, a small group of us + spent the weekend at a cabin in Pulga, California. Perched on the west + side of a deep canyon that contains the North Fork of the Feather + River, Pulga is a tiny, 1800s era mining and rail-stop village. The + cabin belonging to the parents of one of the group's members, sits in a + meadow along with three other cabins. The meadow is situated just to + the north and above the little town. It is oriented west to east where + it terminates in a stand of fir, cedar or pine. Beyond that point, the + slope drops off into the canyon below. The canyon walls rise up on the + west and north sides of the meadow which is reached via a serpentine + gravel road that winds it's way up from the village below. This road + forks just to the west of the meadow, one branch sloping down providing + access to the meadow and the other continuing on up the side of the + canyon wall to the north. Located behind the cabins, the south side of + the meadow is bounded by an a creek that eminates from a spring further + up the canyon walls to the west. Aligned along the southern edge of the + meadow, ours was the second cabin from the west. The first cabin that + weekend was occupied by a nice, elderly couple. The cabin just to the + east of us, was condemned and boarded up. The last cabin to the east, + on that first night, was unoccupied. + + The group was comprised of Rick and Judy Lichty, business colleagues + and friends along with their sons Brandon then three and Brian then + six. The others were Janice as well as Lee then sixteen and myself. + Everyone was anticipating a weekend of fun, frolic and relaxation with + Rick and Lee in particular, looking forward to that night's session of + gaming. Throughout the plans and preperations for the trip...they had + besieged me with requests to Dungeon Master a weekend session of + "Dungeons and Dragons". I agreed after Judy had said "I don't care if + you guys play all night long as long as you don't keep everyone else + awake". + + Having arrived and gotten settled in, I proceeded to pull a recon of + the creek and the meadow. Being an artist, I was particularaly + attracted to a large oak tree on the northeastern side of the meadow + opposite the mid point between cabins three and four. The meadow was + quite a bit wider at that point then that of our end. I continued down + to the east end and observed the train tracks and river below through + the trees. The rest of the evening until around 9 p.m., was spent by + eating and visiting with the couple next door. They retired early so we + all went in and as Judy had started drinking soon after our arrival, + she went to bed. The boys were playing quietly on the floor and Janice + settled onto the couch and began reading Stephen King's novel IT!. + After set-up, I proceeded to lead Rick and Lee (actually their + characters) through a tortuous, terrifying adventure in another land + far, far away. The time slipped away rapidly. + + + This ends the Prelude and hopefuly sets the stage for the ensuing + events. + + + The Story: + + I looked up and turned my head at Judy's intrusion into the room that + was accompanied by, "haven't you guys played long enough?". Continuing + she slurred with a screech in her voice, "All of you, go to bed Now!". + I noticed Janice glance up from the book that she was reading and read + the disgust in her eyes as Rick meekly mumbled "yeah, O.K., sure". We + quickly wrapped things up and put the gaming gear away. Rick had put + the kids down for the night much earlier and somewhat subdued, went off + to bed at the back of the cabin. Lee lay down for the night on a + trundle bed in the front room while Janice remained on the couch. + Tired, I bid my good nights and opening the screen door, stepped down + and into the night. The time was shortly after midnight. The air was + warm and still as I shut the door and turned toward the van. + + As I made my way to the van I noticed the mountainside terrain + silhoutted against a starry sky. With a deep sigh, I thought God! I + love the mountains and I really like this place. Too bad I + thought...that Judy has to be that way, she really needs some help but + so far hasn't the willingness. Soon after it had been suggested that + due to my snoring I sleep out in the van, I had prepared it for just + that purpose. I was thankful as I pulled the sliding side door shut + behind me, that I hadn't waited until after dark. Clicking on the + flashlight, I pulled off my shoes, socks and jeans and crawled into the + sleeping bag. I lit a cigarette, pulled the ashtray closer and resting + on one elbow, gazed out the rear windows of the van to the east. + Pondering the panorama of stars before me, I finished my smoke and + gratefuly lay back to sleep musing 'it's a good thing this bed is built + in the back, it sure beats sleeping on the van floor'. + + I was awakened by a loud high-pitched drone that quickly faded. + Raising up onto one elbow, I looked out the space formed between the + tilted open windows and the sill of the van doors below. Directly to + the east I noticed a very bright blue-white light somewhat smaller than + a dime held at arms length away, off in the distance. 'That sure is a + big star' I thought, quickly followed by 'maybe Venus. I wonder what + time it is?'. + + + Before I could glance at my watch, I was startled to notice that the + light was moving and coming closer expanding in size. I wondered + fleetingly 'what is a helicopter doing up here?'. As I watched and + listened for the 'chop' of the rotors, It seemed to pause when it + reached size of a silver dollar. The light seemed to expand into a + rounded oval and began to grow rapidly. 'Oh NO!' I thought, 'it is + coming down into the clearing'. I heard no rotor chop and must have + closed my eyes. In what seemed like just a moment, my inner eyelids + were illuminated from without. + + I struggled to open my eyes. As my eyes came open, they were looking + down at the sleeping bag that lay open around me. The inside of the van + was lit up brighter than daylight. I looked up while trying to move + backwards toward the door. Immediately before my face were fluorescent + cotton balls of neon red, green, yellow and blue popping on and off. + Beyond these down the meadow lay an arc-like light to the right that I + couldn't look directly into. It appeared to disipate off to the left + into a glowing haze. Within this misty light, there were three shadowy + figures that began to materialize. As they took on sharpness, I saw + that one stood at least a head above the others. This figure detached + itself from the others and to my sudden sense of horror, proceded to + loom larger in my vision. + + The silhouette of what I beheld approaching me had a large domed head + with the lower portion of the face sharply tapered in. This in turn + flowed into a long thin neck and narrow sharply sloping shoulders. + Askew and not seeming to be moving, long very thin arms with bulging + pod-like endings were angled down and away from the shoulders. The + upper torso tapered down into a waspish waist that gently flared into + narrow hips. this in turn tapered downward at a severe angle. At an + unbelievable rate, it loomed so large that it's head was obscured by + the out-tilting tinted rear windows. At it's approach, I had cast out + my awareness trying to get a 'feel' for this being in order to sense + it's intent. This alas, was to no avail. Suddenly, it's face appeared + at the window opening, tilted to the side and looking upward at me. + With fear coursing through me, I saw it grasp the window sill in the + door. Curling over the edge were three fingers, a shade of mauve, the + middle one half again as long as the others. Of extreme texture, I + somehow 'knew' that were I to caress these leathery appearing + appendages, they would have a silky feel. My other-awareness was + pervaded by a sense of cautious, mischievious humor. + + The being abruptly twisted to it's left while raising up and moving + forward in one fluid motion. In shocked amazement I realized that it + had done all of this through the glass, the bed, as well as the steel + body of the van itself as if they were of water. It gently but firmly + griped my upper arms, it's face mere inches from my own. Huge, glossy + black eyes that filled close to a third of it's face, stared into mine. + It's face was the same shade of mauve as the hand with a lighter area + around the eyes. I was desperately trying to wrench my way free but was + totally unable to move. Over-come with terror I sensed that it was + beginning to take me out the way it had come in. + + As It moved backward pulling me forward I flashed upon being slammed + into the inner back of the van. We emerged outside before the thought + had ended. My eyes rolled downward to see the ground rushing backward + beneath my dangling feet. Looking up again, I could see that we were + entering the outer haze and the other two figures were becoming more + distinct. + Approaching them, my captor turned it's head to the left in order to + gaze at them. At this the shorter, more robust creatures immediately + backed away. I cataloged this as well as noticing there were now three + and that when the taller being shifted a portion of it's attention, I + could feel some return of control. I chose not to excersise it however + as it took me by surprise and I felt that in the long run it would have + been futile. + + I closed my eyes against the now too bright light and when I opened + them, found that we were in a hallway that curved to the left. I + discovered that I was on my feet. Gripping my upper left arm the Being + led me a short way down the hall to an open doorway to my right. I + could 'feel' the presense of the others behind us. I wanted to turn my + head to look at them but found that I could not. + + Ushered into the room, I was urged toward an object that rose out of + the center floor. It had the appearance of being a table as the top was + waist high. With a mirror finish, the recessed top looked to be + fashioned from a light blue tinted metal. Curling over the edges were + the sides that tapered down in rolling, flowing contour to a pinched + waist above a short, contoured pedestal. The surface of the thing had + much the same look as the being that I by now had likened to a Mantis + or an Ant. That is, the skin of the Mantis except it appeared much more + coarse. It also had what seemed to be tubes running within it's sides + partialy protruding, at various locations, running a foot or two then + disappearing within the sides. As we approached this table, I began to + get the distinct feeling that it was alive! + + We arrived at the side of the table, I reluctantly. I was suddenly + filled with an impression of meaning that directed me to climb up and + lay back. At this, I reacted with a slight jerk and a resounding mental + NO! But, you must came the impression. No I don't, I thought. + Swiveling, the Mantis turned and again gripped both upper arms and + seemingly without effort on it's part, lifted me unto the table. + Looking into my eyes, I was compelled by gentle pressure to lay back. + Rather than being cold and hard as it appeared, the top gave way + providing support to the contours of my body as I partially sunk into + it. A soothing warmth surrounded me as I felt tension flow out of my + body. + + My consciousness began to drift until suddenly jerked back to + awareness by the 'feel' of other presenses entering the room. I + struggled to arise, but was too lethargic to do so. I 'felt' a presense + tentatively approach and 'knew' that it was passing something over but + above, my body. Involuntarily, my eyelids shut and once again I began + to drift. + + My awareness returned and my eyes confirmed as they came open that I + was once again alone in the room with the Mantis being. As I turned my + head, I was receiving the impression that this was a female. Along with + this, was the realization that she 'felt' familiar. The impression came + that I was bid to arise and accompany her elsewhere. Reluctantly I sat + up, swiveled around and eased myself down onto my feet. Feeling + slightly dizzy and disoriented, I supported myself against the table + with my left hand. I could sense a low pulsing vibration from within. I + jerked my hand away and haltingly stepped toward the opening in the + wall. The Mantis had preceded me into the hallway beyond and had + slightly turned, waiting for me to follow. Where are you taking me I + thought, as I stepped through the opening to join her. Come, came the + impression...then came an image of a wall of what I understood to be + electronic apparatus with winking intermittant lights and a pulsing, + strobe-like glow. I paused, unwilling momentarily to proceed further. + Why?...I must have mentally shouted, because I could feel her recoil. + She gripped my upper left arm and proceeding down the hall, came the + impression.....of interest. Traveling down the hallway perhaps 15 feet, + I could see another opening to the right. reaching the opening and + turning to the right, I beheld a room that seemed wider than the + previous one. I was aware of a maze of round edged shapes of various + sizes protruding from the walls and floor of the room. My attention + however was riveted upon the countenence of an obvious human female + that stood upon a low, sculptured platform against the wall directly + across from me. Ridgid, with heels together, arms loosely hanging by + her sides, she stared straight ahead. + + The Prolog: + + Janice: For three long years I have kept all these incidents bottled + up inside of myself and would like to continue to as it really agitates + my insides. When Clark started bringing this up this summer I just + wanted to forget it all as I do now. It makes me angry. At first it + made me angry because it seemed that it was only him that was taken and + I wanted to be with him. Now I am angry because I am not so sure. + + + The Prelude: + + Janice: The night all this happened I was very lonely and felt very + abandoned by Clark, Lee and Rick one more time as they wanted to hide + in their D & D. So I got myself a book to hide in. As for Judy, I was + very angry and upset with her drinking and wanting to control + everybody. Before the trip, she had said to me that we would have a + nice quit and restful weekend and that she and I would visit. So I was + feeling abandonded by her and feeling angry about being lied to. + + + The Story: + + Janice: The neighbor's dog came over to play with Rick's dog and they + were playing and barking all evening. Once in a while Clark or Rick + would chase them out or go outside to tell them to shut up. + + The last time Judy came out and told everyone to go to bed we all + did. I had no conception of the time all weekend as we were all there + to have our own fun at whatever and I don't remember even wearing a + watch. + + I don't remember when I stopped reading. I was in the living room with + my son and Judy's dog was on the floor. I don't remember ever closing + my eyes. It was very still and quiet and all of a sudden the whole + house was lit up with all different colors and there were all these + little white fuzz balls dancing around the room. They sort of looked + like pollen. I automatically thought of Clark being alone, trying to + communicate with him mentally, telling him to get out of the van and to + come in by me. I remember both of the dogs being sound asleep on the + floor by the door which was opening and closing by itself repeatedly at + the same time that I saw the fuzz balls. I remember a low dull sound + like a faraway train or helicopter thinking they're coming for me and + Clark and please let us go together, don't just take Clark, he needs me + to go too. I was trying to get off the couch this whole time but kept + thinking how come I can't get up? I kept watching my son sleeping on + the trundle bed hoping it was really him being there. All the thoughts + going on in my head I thought were keeping me awake and expecting to + see Clark at any minute. I have no idea of any time. + + I was really attracted to her eyes. They didn't seem to be seeing + anything at all. They did not move nor, did her eyelids blink. She had + wavy light-brown hair with a slight reddish tone, cascading down to + frame her face and to disappear behind her shoulders. With my eyes + continuing on down her form, the Mantis guided me into the room. I was + struck with the feeling that I knew this woman although with a start, I + realized that I could not see her face. That was a blur. The only + portion of her face that was clear to me were her eyes. I could see a + shallow, slow rise and fall to her naked breasts. My concentration was + interrupted by an impression of caressing her to the point of arousal. + NO! I thought. But, you must...came the meaning. No...I thought again, + why must I? The impression that came took me aback, You made the + commitment it declared. I want to go home I thought. I don't remember + any commitment I thought. I won't do it. Why? came the meaning...You + made the commitment therefore you must. I won't, I want to.... With + this, the Mantis turned me toward the opening and moving through it, we + stepped into the hall. We turned to our left and continued down to the + opening into the original room. + + Guiding me into the room, she turned and left. I turned to see her + disappear up the hall to the right. Turning again, I quickly observed + the room in which I once again found myself. It had the appearance of a + gently curved rectangle with the (doorway) opening centrally located. + Although flat, the walls where they met with each other, did in a + smooth curve rather than at an angle. They met the floor in the same + manner as did the ceiling. The ceiling was gently arched as a partial + dome. Protruding from the wall at the back were 6 rectangles of various + dimensions and at various heights. There were three of these on the + left wall with a rectangle perhaps 4 or 5 feet long protruding up from + the floor and out from the wall at the back portion of the left wall. + The top of this rectangle was wide enough to allow sitting. The wall on + the right contained one of these positioned center and framed on either + side by a rectangle protruding from the wall perhaps 3 to 4 feet above + the floor. The highest point of the wall at the back was perhaps 7 feet + above the floor. There were no angles to be found anywhere. The whole + room had the appearance of having been popped out of a mold. Moving to + the opening, I proceeded to step through it and found that I could not. + Puzzled, I tried several times just to get my hand and arm through. I + stepped to my left and peered up the hallway to the right as far as it + would allow, but saw nothing. I stepped right and repeated the process + to the left with the same result. Stepping again to the left, I turned + in time to see the Mantis returning with the woman. I began to back up + as they turned to enter. The Mantis stopped just inside the opening. + You must!...came the meaning with a 'feeling' of impatience. No!...I + don't do that, I thought. The woman moved forward. My back came up + against the table and I could once again feel it's pulse. Why?...came + the impression...You commited it continued. I have a lady I think I + replied outloud. The Mantis moved forward quickly and gripped again my + upper right arm as the woman reached me looking up and reaching out + with her finger tips to lightly place them on my naked chest. My eyes + shifting downward, her mouth became clear in a big smile. I was + desperately trying to twist away but could not move. Her fingers traced + a trail down my skin, across my stomach to hook into the tops of my + undershorts...... + + ******************************** + + At this point in the regression, my eyes popped open. The first + session ended with the Mantis coming through the van. Each session was + terminated by extreme agitation, some hyperventilating and fear. In + each case, my eyes popped open to end the proceedings. Because of a + history of high blood pressure coupled with my present health + circumstances, the decision to curtail the sessions until such time as + they may safely (for me) proceed, was made. For me, that time can't + come soon enough. + + Clark Hathaway Sunday November 7th., 1993 + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Systematic lunar mapping is scheduled to begin about a +week later and continue through early May, followed by the first +flyby of the near-Earth asteroid 1620 Geographos. The $75-million +mission took only 22 months from conception to launch. + Designed and built by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), +the spacecraft was originally conceived to test advanced, +lightweight technologies for ballistic-missile defense +applications. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of +California built most of the scientific payload. NASA became +involved when scientists arranged to participate in the mission +to create unprecedented maps of the moon in addition to the +asteroid encounter. + The Lab is supporting the mission on four fronts, with teams +overseeing a radiation and reliability experiment for advanced +microelectronic devices; dynamical, photometric and cartographic +studies; Deep Space Network (DSN) tracking and navigation; and +engineering studies of the Clementine systems' performance and +Clementine's daughter satellite, the Interstage Adapter Satellite +(ISAS). + Dr. Satish Khanna of the Center for Space Microelectronics +Technology Division 820 is program manager for RRELAX (the +Radiation and Reliability Assurance Experiment), which will +characterize the radiation resistance and reliability of three +advanced microelectronic devices: charged-couple devices, +complementary metal oxide silicon and static random-access +memory. The experiment, whose principal investigator is Dr. +Martin Buehler of Section 346, comprises two hardware boxes, one +on the spacecraft and one on the ISAS. + Khanna said that "within nine months, we designed, +fabricated, tested and delivered the two RRELAX boxes to NRL for +integration into the spacecraft and ISAS. + "This experience will be useful for JPL's plan to +participate in cheaper, faster and better missions," he added. + Tom Duxbury of the Geology and Planetology Section 326 is +one of the three JPL members of the NASA-sponsored science team. +"We will obtain high-resolution coverage of the moon," he said, +"with precision radio science yielding the gravity field, a laser +altimeter giving topography, and stereo imaging giving a global +cartographic control network--the first time we have had those +simultaneously." + The total amount of data transmitted from the moon mapping +will be comparable to that obtained during the first Magellan +mapping cycle of Venus. "It's global coverage, not just bits and +pieces or strips (of the moon)," Duxbury added. Earlier missions +to the moon, including Apollo, mainly orbited the equatorial +regions. + Clementine is scheduled to reach Geographos on Aug. 31, +after which time more than 2,000 images will be recorded and +stored on board in the solid-state memory for later playback to +Earth. Duxbury said the cigar-shaped asteroid measures about 1 +1/2 km by 4 km (9/10 mile by 2 1/2 miles), and its orbit is +inclined about 16 degrees to Earth's ecliptic plane. The +spacecraft will pass within 100 km (62 miles) of Geographos, when +it will be 8 million km (5 million miles) from Earth. + Clementine's cameras will be programmed to autonomously +track the asteroid while passing from the dark to the sunlit side +at close range; as the spacecraft goes by, most of the +illuminated side will come into view. (A three-member optical +navigation team from JPL's Section 314 will support this part of +the mission.) Close-range images, when combined with Light +Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) measurements, will enable an +accurate determination of the asteroid's shape and size. + JPL tracking stations at Goldstone, Calif.; Madrid, Spain; +and Canberra, Australia--in conjunction with an NRL station in +Pomonkey, Md., and a number of Air Force stations--will support +the Clementine mission, according to Ray Amorose, manager of the +TDA Mission Support and DSN Operations Division 440. + "In general," he said, "we are using our 26-meter subnet, +with some 34-meter support; in late May, it will be all 34-meter +coverage because the spacecraft will be out of range of the +26-meter antennas. When the spacecraft gets to the asteroid, +there will be a couple of days of 70-meter coverage. + "We're doing navigation and orbit-determination work," +Amorose added. "Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland is +assisting NRL in orbit-determination and dynamics work on the +early part of the mission; when it leaves the moon, then JPL +becomes a major player for the navigation." + About 30 JPL staff members are working on the mission. +Amorose noted that a particularly special effort has been made in +recent weeks by Al Berman of Division 440, the project's tracking +and data system manager, whose Granada Hills home was severely +damaged by the Jan. 17 Northridge earthquake. "He came in anyway +and did his job," Amorose said. "He is a pretty dedicated guy." + In addition to the on-Lab support, Dr. Henry Garrett of +Division 52 is currently on detail to the Clementine program +office. Garrett heads the Clementine engineering team, which is +evaluating the overall performance of the advanced technologies +being tested on the vehicle. He is also program manager for ISAS, +which was left behind by the main Clementine spacecraft following +the first lunar transfer orbit injection. + The ISAS carries a copy of the RRELAX experiment, a dust +detector provided by NASA's Langley Research Center, and several +microelectronics experiments provided by NRL. The NRL-designed +package cost less than $1 million and is intended to serve as a +test of Clementine's microelectronics in the Earth's radiation +environment, Garrett said. JPL is currently receiving data on the +radiation environment and on the performance of the RRELAX test +devices from both the ISAS and Clementine. + The Clementine mission is the first non-NASA deep-space +mission conducted by the United States. "As far as the NASA +science community is concerned, it's a high-payoff mission," +Duxbury said. "For the Defense Department, it's testing specific +technology it needs to do its business." + According to a BMDO statement, "The use of celestial bodies +such as the moon and a near-Earth asteroid makes ideal targets to +flight-qualify advanced lightweight technologies developed by +BMDO. The added cost of the mission by going to deep space is +actually less than the cost of developing and deploying the +targets that would be required to test the payload in low-Earth +orbit. + "By performing a joint mission with NASA and forming a +NASA-selected science team to enhance the scientific value of the +mission, it will also be possible to transfer these technologies +for future space exploration." + + ### + ___ _____ ___ + /_ /| /____/ \ /_ /| Ron Baalke | baalke@kelvin.jpl.nasa.gov + | | | | __ \ /| | | | Jet Propulsion Lab | + ___| | | | |__) |/ | | |__ Galileo S-Band | A mind stretched by a new +/___| | | | ___/ | |/__ /| Pasadena, CA 91109 | idea can never go back to +|_____|/ |_|/ |_____|/ | its original dimensions. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

With a lot of luck, they hoped to keep +Clementine orbiting Earth rather than sailing off into a heliocentric +orbit. + +Here's what Dean has to say-- not good news: + + Clementine is pretty much a goner. Soon after the maneuvers to + setup for the double lunar swingby, the s/c started losing power + quickly despite successful efforts to move the solar panels to a + more favorable position for sun soak.

The Surveyor 6 photograph shows anomalous geometric structures +above the ground, like those associated with the tower extending north of the +"Tower" for about a hundred miles. The censored Apollo 10 photograph near +Ukert crater shows anomalous geometric structures extending on the ground +extending for tens of miles over an area the size of the Los Angeles basin. +All of these unnatural structures appear to have sustained varying degrees of +damage from meteorite and micrometeorite impact. Small impact craters (1-2 +miles), for example, exist within the anomalous area near Ukert, and clearly +post-date the anomalies. Recognition of such damage is important in +understanding and interpreting the nature and time sequence in the origin of +these structures. + +Apollo 16, June 1972 + +NASA photograph AS16-121-19438, looking northwest from above the eastern edge +of Mare Crisium and across Mare Tranquilitatus form 70 miles altitude. + + UKERT + + Ukert is a crater-like feature that displays a circumscribed +equilateral triangle at full Moon (Noon local time) in its center. I agree +with Hoagland's interpretation that this triangle is not natural, because the +sides of the "crater" are much brighter only opposite the sides of this +triangle. The apices or angles of the triangle intersect the darkest three +areas of the "crater" rim, while the brightest three areas of the rim are +opposite the sides of the triangle. In addition, the brightest parts of the +rim are midway between the apices of the triangle, and are at 120 degrees +orientation from one another. If a line is drawn from the centers of each +bright area across the triangle to the opposing angle, the lines will exactly +bisect each angle. Such regular geometry is not a natural feature of any +terrain, either on Earth or on the Moon. Furthermore, the symbolism of an +equilateral triangle within a circle is a two dimensional representation of a +tetrahedral pyramid within a sphere. Tetrahedral geometry is the primary +message encoded in the geometry of the Cydonia complex on Mars (Hoagland, +1992; McDaniel, 1993). + + THE SHARD + + The Shard is an obvious structure which rises above the Moon's surface +by more than a mile. Its overall irregular spindly shape (containing a regular +geometric pattern) with constricted nodes and swollen internodes, if natural, +has got to be a wonder of the Universe. No known natural process can explain +such a structure. Computer enhancement with about 190 feet (60 meters) +resolution shows an irregular outline with more reflective and less reflective +surfaces. The amount of sunlight reflecting from parts of the Shard indicates +a composition inconsistent with that of most natural substances. Only crystal +facets and glass can reflect that much light (polished metallic surfaces are +unnatural). Single crystals the size of city blocks are currently unknown. I +concur with Hoagland that the Shard may be a highly eroded remnant of some +sort of artificial structure made of glass-like material. Other larger +structures and their reflectivity in the area support this theory. + + THE TOWER + + The Tower represents an enigma of the highest magnitude because it +rises more than five miles above the surface of the Moon, and has been +photographed from five different angles and two different altitudes (from 30 +miles altitude, and from 70 miles altitude at three different distances). In +all four photographs the same structure is visible and can be viewed from two +different sides. The Tower exists in front of and to the left of the Shard in +the Lunar Orbiter III-84M photograph. The distance from the Tower and the +camera is estimated at about 200 miles, while the distance of the Shard beyond +the Tower is estimated at about 230 miles. The top of the Tower has a very +ordered cubic geometry, and appears to be composed of regular cubes (similar +in size) joined together to form a very large cube with an estimated width of +over one mile! There is apparent damage to the outline and surface of this +megacube, because many cubic spaces or indentations occur over its surface +(these spaces are 50 to 60 times larger than pixel size, and their shapes are +not controlled by the rectangular shape of the pixel). A narrow columnar +structure connects this cube with the surface of the Moon. The columnar +support is at least three miles tall, and tapers towards its base. The taper +may be in part due to perspective, if the Tower is oriented at an angle and is +leaning towards the camera. The leaning Tower may be part of a larger more +transparent structure, which is also inclined. + + Surrounding the Tower are faint indications of additional light- +reflecting material. The amount of light coming from this material is very +small compared with the amount of light reflected off the lunar surface. In +order to make it visible, the surface of the Moon has to be over-exposed on +the photograph. The pattern that becomes visible above the moon's surface is +not caused by the scan lines that make up the Lunar Orbiter photography. The +scan lines can be seen clearly, and are oriented at different angles from the +orientation of patterns in the sky. The regular cubic and/or rectangular +nature of this pattern, and indications of radiating structures that connect +the Tower with the surface indicate that material of low light reflectivity +exists above the Moon's surface over a large area measured in hundreds of +miles. The irregular splotchy reflection from some of this aerial material may +be due to meteorite and projectile damage over millions of years. Its highly +transparent nature (bright stars can be seen behind and through this material) +indicates either an open grid with cubic spaces or glass-like material held +together by some sort of structural grid or a combination of both. Other +photographs described below confirm the size and extent of this grid-like +construction. + + THE SKY GRID + + The Surveyor 6 photograph of the Sun's corona at the horizon +(Photograph published in NASA Technical Report 32-1262) is a view just to the +north of the Tower (less than 100 miles). Total image was recorded in primary +data, and variations in image reproduction are due to processing differences. +Two major anomalies are apparent in this photograph: 1) sunlight at the +surface of the Moon is refracted towards the camera and appears as elongate +beads of bright light on top of the horizon (JPL measurements indicate light +saturation for the camera was reached in these beads); 2) a regular cubic +pattern of horizontal benches appears above the surface, and extends nearly as +high as the view in the photograph to an altitude of several miles. Due to the +angle of incidence of backlit sunlight from the Sun, which was located below +the horizon, the visibility of the pattern above the surface decreases with +increasing angular reflection from the center of the Sun. This means that +whatever was causing the reflection and refraction above the Moon's surface is +geometrically dependent on the Sun's position below the Moon's horizon, and is +therefore not likely an artifact of imaging, reproduction, or processing. Six +additional pictures of this horizon were taken within 90 minutes, and if +available (obtainable) will provide additional data for further analysis. + + The bright beads of light on the surface decrease or become non- +continuous laterally along the horizon. This anomalous beading was explained +by NASA as diffraction by fine dust suspended above the surface. No such +suspended dust was found by the Apollo astronauts, and an alternative +hypothesis is warranted. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation that: +a) the light is refraction, and b) the intense concentration of light is +likely caused by glass imaging the Sun from beyond the horizon. It is unlikely +that the material causing this phenomenon is natural dust or glass tectites on +the surface, which are largely opaque to only partly transparent. The glass +refracting the light has to be nearly transparent to transmit so much light to +such a height above the surface, particularly if the refracting material has +any depth to it. It may represent the basal more intact part of a +superstructure that is apparent above the surface. Because of less damage, and +more massive glass support structures at the base (visible in some photographs +as a hierarchy of stacked glass arches, each with expanded bases), more light +is conducted and focussed there as a series of glass lenses. Simple reflection +can be ruled out as an explanation for the beads because of the position of +the Sun below the horizon. + + The three Apollo 10 photographs showing the Tower in the distance also +show the grid structure from above. These photographs were taken at three +different distances from the Tower as the Apollo spacecraft moved towards the +Tower. Within the sky above the horizon and around the Tower a regular grid +pattern emerges with proper contrast control. This grid pattern appears to be +three-dimensional, and is expressed as dark lines with random points of +reflection around those lines. The grid appears to be some sort of support +structure, perhaps formed from a metallic rebar. The reflective material +associated with it is cubic and hexagonal in design, but incomplete. With +different attitudes or angles of sight, different areas of the grid structure +become illuminated or reflective, implying that angle of incidence is +important. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation of this material as remnant +portions of the glass structure, which still remains attached and suspended +above the Moon's surface on a metallic cross support structure. The Tower, by +contrast, is visible in all three photographs, because there is much more +glass remaining than on the suspended grid structure around the Tower. Even +from different angles and distances in these photographs, the top of the Tower +appears as a giant cube made up of smaller cubic and hexagonal objects. + + There is no way to get around this evidence once it becomes apparent. +Altering the contrast of the Moon's surface can make this faint structure +disappear, but such photographic manipulation (of NASA catalogs) will not +invalidate it. The evidence that Hoagland has brought to light may assail +one's sensibilities because of its magnitude and artificial implication, but +it cannot be dismissed or ignored. It is there and it must be explained. + + THE CITY COMPLEX NEAR UKERT + + Photograph AS10-32-4822 in NASA catalog SP-232 is blacked out, along +with several other photographs. When it was ordered, the image was of high +quality, contrary to what was implied by it being blacked out in the catalog. +Instead of a poor photograph, the image shows features near Ukert crater that +defy conventional explanation. A linear dome-shaped hill runs diagonally +across the photograph. To the north of that hill a large area exists with +regularly aligned rows of structure. Within this anomalous area more than a +dozen small craters can be seen that modify the landscape. From a distance +the regular rows appear like benches. On Earth such a feature would be +interpreted as the pattern produced by the eroded edges of layered rocks that +dip below the surface. But on the Moon there have been no physical processes +that can account for such a regular geologic structure. Furthermore, rills and +wrinkles on the surface of a cooling magma outflow do not form such a regular +pattern, as is evident in so many mare on the Moon. And this anomalous pattern +has definite boundaries beyond which it is absent. + + Upon magnification, this anomalous pattern begins to take on a +different character: Rectangular features exist along the rows, with many +having gaps between them. In addition, thin spires project up from the surface +in several places along some rows. Upon further magnification some of the +rectangular structures take on a form like buildings and skyscrapers. +Resolution at high magnification (for the image I saw) is not good enough to +resolve more than the outlines of possible buildings. The whole area resembles +what one might expect for a city the size of Los Angeles that had been +abandoned and left to decay for centuries. The crater impacts and constant +barrage from micrometeorites over millions of years would have provided an +abrasive force as damaging as our weather and earthquakes on Earth over +centuries or even decades. + + I agree with Hoagland that someone or some group within NASA +deliberately concealed this picture in the catalog because of its content, and +that this area may contain one of several city complexes that were built under +an enormous glass dome within Sinus Medi. The sheer implications of such +massive structures on the Moon, if verified by an open and honest visit by +astronauts to the Moon, would cause man to rethink many ideas and question +many beliefs about other intelligent life in the Universe. Clearly, such +structures are well beyond our current technologies, and rank with the +Pyramids and Sphinx on Earth, and with the Cydonia complex and its humanoid +face on Mars, as major mysteries of our Solar System. + + THE DOME OVER MARE CRISIUM + + Further evidence for such massive constructs on the Moon can be found +in Mare Crisium. The photograph that Hoagland showed me of that area (NASA +photograph 1) has a strange set of large, concentric, circular light +patterns within the mare. To one side an enormous spire or tower rises from +the surface within the perimeter of these light circles. Magnification of the +area around this spire shows cubic patterns like those around the Tower in +Sinus Medii. Numerous holes of various size can be detected within this cubic +pattern, probably caused by meteorites. Around the edges of these holes I can +see layers of light-reflecting cubic glass-like material and suggestions of +strands of rebar support. Below this cover on the ground there is more +structure, which can be detected under some of the larger holes. There is an +unusual interference pattern below the cubic pattern as well. None of these +patterns can be explained as normal or natural. I interpret the major cubic +pattern as reflections off rebar and micrometeorite-frosted glass of the dome +that covers most of Mare Crisium. I interpret the pattern below the dome as +possibly caused by artificial structures on the surface of the Moon, such as +the city-like construct near Ukert, and the concentric circles of light over +the surface of Mare Crisium as light reflection and refraction through the +remaining portions of the glass dome. + + I support Hoagland's interpretation that the anomalous patterns in +photographs from Sinus Medii and Mare Crisium cannot be explained as natural. +I further support his interpretation that these patterns above the surface are +caused by enormous structures of artificial origin, structures that may +represent the remains of glass domes that were built to cover, protect, and +provide a life-support environment for habitable structures on the surface. + + Clearly, further independent investigation and analysis by experts is +warranted. There is also a relevant need to press the Pentagon into releasing +all 1.5 million Clementine photographs immediately and without censorship. + + + + Dr. Bruce Cornet + + May 15, 1994 + + ----------------------------------------------------------- + +Dr. Bruce Cornet has a B.A. in biology, M.S. in botany, and Ph.D. in geology +and palynology.

And the jet engine can +move that car: up to 200 mph. + +The car already was in the family, and it had room to hold the engine. +So, with a little modification and a little outside help, a Honda became +a jet car. + +Why? + +"There's no real reason except for going fast," said Bob Lazar, builder +of the engine. "It's going through various transitions, and it's always +half done." + +It's not the car so much that's important. To Lazar, a physicist at the +Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, the important thing is the jet engine. +It's something he's been working on for years. It started "awhile ago" +when working with another researcher in NASA on the technology. Lazar +modified the original design "and put out more power." + +His first jet powered device was a bicycle, on which he hit 100 mph. +"The cops saw that and put a stop to it for fear of safety," he said. + +The engine, the second for the Honda, is made of stainless steel and +titanium and burns liquid propane. The jet is capable of putting out +1,600 pounds of thrust, (although it has been cut back to 800 pounds +for various reasons). The first jet engine was smaller, and the exhaust +was right behind the license plate holder. When the jet was to be fired, +the holder was moved out of the way. One time, someone forgot, and the +metal plate was shattered by the force. The Lazars keep a piece as a +souvenir. + +The waste products are water vapor and carbon dioxide. An afterbuner +that uses kerosene increases the jet's efficiency 50 percent, he said. + +In tests at a dry lake bed near Los Angeles, the car hit over 200 mph, +he said. The standard gasoline engine still works, and is used to get +the car going to about 90 mph. The engine is then put into neutral, +and the jet engine is kicked in for 30 to 60 seconds. + +When the car hit 200 mph, the driver, a friend of the Lazars, came back +"white as a sheet." + +The Honda isn't made for high-speed driving. Indeed, the total thrust, +slightly above 1600 pounds, is about the same as the car weighs. + +"Theoretically, the car should become airborne if the thrust exceeds the +weight," he said. " If you hit a rock, you're in trouble. That's one +reason we cut down the thrust." + +Besides the rear-area modifications, Lazar said he had to put in two +steel beams in the floor of the car because Hondas do not have frames. +Fiberglass was used to remold the body so air scoops could be added to +the roof and sides. + +A firewall protects the driver and passenger from the heat of the engine. +The temperature in the engine compartment reaches 200 degrees, the limit +because of the air flow. Parts of the engine will glow white hot. + +At one point, the Lazars were almost out of money, and the car was +unfinished. "That's when the commercial firms help out," he said. Word +was getting around California about the car, and offers began to come in. + +"I went to a tire dealer and asked for some tires for the car," he said. +"The man asked 'is that your jet car parked out there?' I said yes, and +he said 'Goodrich has been trying to get ahold of you. I've got four +tires here they want to give you.' They cost $100 apiece," he said. + +So it went: the car received a custom paint job, new tires, new seats +and new tire rims (which Lazar never picked up), all free "as long as we +put their names on the car." + +The jet cannot get the car going from a dead stop, which enables Lazar +and his wife, Carol, to demonstrate the engine to reporters. The car +was driven (in the usual manner) to the Pueblo High School parking lot +Saturday where Lazar started the engine about four times. + +One of the oddest sights is this little foreign car sitting in an empty +lot making noise like a jet plane. Lazar explained that the sound +waves in the intake are synchronized with the sound waves from the +exhaust, adding to the din. The waves travel in a V from the exhaust, +and moving around the rear of the car subjects one's ears to a real +cacophonous assault. + +The noise level in the passenger compartment isn't as bad, Lazar said. +That may be, but the sound carries far and wide; a gentleman later told +Lazar he heard the noise from the "topmost street" above Urban Park. + +The police are familiar with the vehicle too. During the demonstration, +a county policeman drove up and asked "Have you been firing that thing?" +He didn't ask what was going on, he seemed to know. When Lazar said yes, +the policeman said not to do it any more because complaints had been +received about the noise. + +"The police have been cooperative," Lazar said. "They've been interested +in the car, and sometimes we've seen them come by and look at it." + +Unlike most jet engines, Lazar's design does not need the huge bulky +compressors. This is because the fuel already is compressed, he said, +making it the most efficient jet engine available. A standard jet uses +six pounds of fuel for every pound of thrust; Lazar said he uses 1.3 pounds +of fuel for a pound of thrust. + +New projects for the jet include an ultra-light aircraft powered by a +smaller version, then possibly a race car with a larger version. "This +will be strictly a race car," he said. "The car will be designed around +the engine, instead of being placed in an existing car." + +The jet powered Honda attracts a lot of attention for the Lazars, who +moved to Los Alamos about a month ago from California. Neighbors will +gather around and look at it, sometimes in the middle of the night. + +Most of the local people are interested in the technology, which is a +change from California, said Mrs. Lazar. "People looked at it and said +'a jet powered car' then tried to damage it," she said. "A lot of people +are frightened by it. I was at first." + +She has driven the car to 135 mph because, she said, "I like the speed." + +(End of article) + +PHOTOS THAT ACCOMPANIED THE STORY + +Photo #1 shows Lazar at standing next to the rear of the car which +appears to be about a 1979 Honda Civic hatchback. Jet nozzle is +pictured about 10" in diameter where the license plate would go. Name on +the car is "Flame & Thunder". Caption: "Lazar and his jet car: the +license plate makes it very clear to other drivers what's with this vehicle." + +Photo #2 shows Lazar and his wife about 25' behind the car with the jet +running. Top and side scoops are shown. Scoop on top of the car is +about 4" high and 20" wide. Side scoops appear 4" high and 18" long, +just behind driver and passenger side windows. The scoops appear to only +provide air into the rear hatch area, not direct ram air to the engine. +Caption: "Bob Lazar attempts to examine the jet exhaust while it's +running, and as a result he is buffeted by the warm air. At that +distance, he said, the heat isn't that great. While he wears earmuffs, +his wife Carol holds her hands over her ears in the background." + +Photo #3 shows steering wheel and part of dash. Caption: "A tiny button +near the rim of the steering wheel starts the jet. Two guages on the +control panel in the background give the pressure and fuel amount." + +Photo #4 is an inside view of the rear hatch area from the outside. +Caption: "The jet is the horizontal tube; the dark tank in the corner +holds the liquid propane fuel. The vertical portion is an air scoop. The +car itself is a Honda, modified only slightly to accept the jet engine, +including installing a firewall behind the front seats and air scoops on +the top and sides of the vehicle. The standard gasoline engine still +works; the car can be driven normally." + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

It +highlights some of your security responsibilities, and provides +guidelines for answering questions you may be asked concerning your +association with this Agency. Although you will be busy during the +forthcoming weeks learning your job, meeting co-workers, and becoming +accustomed to a new work environment, you are urged to become familiar +with the security information contained in this handbook. Please note +that a listing of telephone numbers is provided at the end of this +handbook should you have any questions or concerns. + +Introduction + +In joining NSA you have been given an opportunity to participate in the +activities of one of the most important intelligence organizations of +the United States Government. At the same time, you have also assumed a +trust which carries with it a most important individual +responsibility--the safeguarding of sensitive information vital to the +security of our nation. + +While it is impossible to estimate in actual dollars and cents the value +of the work being conducted by this Agency, the information to which you +will have access at NSA is without question critically important to the +defense of the United States. Since this information may be useful only +if it is kept secret, it requires a very special measure of protection. +The specific nature of this protection is set forth in various Agency +security regulations and directives. The total NSA Security Program, +however, extends beyond these regulations. It is based upon the concept +that security begins as a state of mind. The program is designed to +develop an appreciation of the need to protect information vital to the +national defense, and to foster the development of a level of awareness +which will make security more than routine compliance with regulations. + +At times, security practices and procedures cause personal +inconvenience. They take time and effort and on occasion may make it +necessary for you to voluntarily forego some of your usual personal +perogatives. But your compensation for the inconvenience is the +knowledge that the work you are accomplishing at NSA, within a framework +of sound security practices, contributes significantly to the defense +and continued security of the United States of America. + +I extend to you my very best wishes as you enter upon your chosen career +or assignment with NSA. + +Philip T. Pease +Director of Security + + +INITIAL SECURITY RESPONSIBILITIES + +Anonymity + +Perhaps one of the first security practices with which new NSA personnel +should become acquainted is the practice of anonymity. In an open +society such as ours, this practice is necessary because information +which is generally available to the public is available also to hostile +intelligence. Therefore, the Agency mission is best accomplished apart +from public attention. Basically, anonymity means that NSA personnel +are encouraged not to draw attention to themselves nor to their +association with this Agency. NSA personnel are also cautioned neither +to confirm nor deny any specific questions about NSA activities directed +to them by individuals not affiliated with the Agency. + +The ramifications of the practice of anonymity are rather far reaching, +and its success depends on the cooperation of all Agency personnel. +Described below you will find some examples of situations that you may +encounter concerning your employment and how you should cope with them. +Beyond the situations cited, your judgement and discretion will become +the deciding factors in how you respond to questions about your +employment. + +Answering Questions About Your Employment + +Certainly, you may tell your family and friends that you are employed at +or assigned to the National Security Agency. There is no valid reason +to deny them this information. However, you may not disclose to them +any information concerning specific aspects of the Agency's mission, +activities, and organization. You should also ask them not to publicize +your association with NSA. + +Should strangers or casual acquaintances question you about your place +of employment, an appropriate reply would be that you work for the +Department of Defense. If questioned further as to where you are +employed within the Department of Defense, you may reply, "NSA." When +you inform someone that you work for NSA (or the Department of Defense) +you may expect that the next question will be, "What do you do?" It is +a good idea to anticipate this question and to formulate an appropriate +answer. Do not act mysteriously about your employment, as that would +only succeed in drawing more attention to yourself. + +If you are employed as a secretary, engineer, computer scientist, or in +a clerical, administrative, technical, or other capacity identifiable by +a general title which in no way indicates how your talents are being +applied to the mission of the Agency, it is suggested that you state +this general title. If you are employed as a linguist, you may say that +you are a linguist, if necessary. However, you should not indicate the +specific language(s) with which you are involved. + +The use of service specialty titles which tend to suggest or reveal the +nature of the Agency's mission or specific aspects of their work. +These professional titles, such as cryptanalyst, signals collection +officer, and intelligence research analyst, if given verbatim to an +outsider, would likely generate further questions which may touch upon +the classified aspects of your work. Therefore, in conversation with +outsiders, it is suggested that such job titles be generalized. For +example, you might indicate that you are a "research analyst." You may +not, however, discuss the specific nature of your analytic work. + +Answering Questions About Your Agency Training + +During your career or assignment at NSA, there is a good chance that you +will receive some type of job-related training. In many instances the +nature of the training is not classified. However, in some situations +the specialized training you receive will relate directly to sensitive +Agency functions. In such cases, the nature of this training may not be +discussed with persons outside of this Agency. + +If your training at the Agency includes language training, your +explanation for the source of your linguistic knowledge should be that +you obtained it while working for the Department of Defense. + +You Should not draw undue attention to your language abilities, and you +may not discuss how you apply your language skill at the Agency. + +If you are considering part-time employment which requires the use of +language or technical skills similar to those required for the +performance of your NSA assigned duties, you must report (in advance) +the anticipated part-time work through your Staff Security Officer (SSO) +to the Office of Security's Clearance Division (M55). + +Verifying Your Employment + +On occasion, personnel must provide information concerning their +employment to credit institutions in connection with various types of +applications for credit. In such situations you may state, if you are a +civilian employee, that you are employed by NSA and indicate your pay +grade or salary. Once again, generalize your job title. If any further +information is desired by persons or firms with whom you may be dealing, +instruct them to request such information by correspondence addressed +to: Director of Civilian Personnel, National Security Agency, Fort +George G. Meade, Maryland 20755-6000. Military personnel should use +their support group designator and address when indicating their current +assignment. + +If you contemplate leaving NSA for employment elsewhere, you may be +required to submit a resume/job application, or to participate in +extensive employment interviews. In such circumstances, you should have +your resume reviewed by the Classification Advisory Officer (CAO) +assigned to your organization. Your CAO will ensure that any classified +operational details of your duties have been excluded and will provide +you with an unclassified job description. Should you leave the Agency +before preparing such a resume, you may develop one and send it by +registered mail to the NSA/CSS Information Policy Division (Q43) for +review. Remember, your obligation to protect sensitive Agency +information extends beyond your employment at NSA. + +The Agency And Public News Media + +From time to time you may find that the agency is the topic of reports +or articles appearing in public news media--newspapers, magazines, +books, radio and TV. The NSA/CSS Information Policy Division (Q43) +represents the Agency in matters involving the press and other media. +This office serves at the Agency's official media center and is the +Director's liaison office for public relations, both in the community +and with other government agencies. The Information Policy Division +must approve the release of all information for and about NSA, its +mission, activities, and personnel. In order to protect the aspects of +Agency operations, NSA personnel must refrain from either confirming or +denying any information concerning the Agency or its activities which +may appear in the public media. If you are asked about the activities +of NSA, the best response is "no comment." You should then notify Q43 of +the attempted inquiry. For the most part, public references to NSA are +based upon educated guesses. The Agency does not normally make a +practice of issuing public statements about its activities. + +GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES + +Espionage And Terrorism + +During your security indoctrination and throughout your NSA career you +will become increasingly aware of the espionage and terrorist threat to +the United States. Your vigilance is the best single defense in +protecting NSA information, operations, facilities and people. Any +information that comes to your attention that suggests to you the +existence of, or potential for, espionage or terrorism against the U.S. +or its allies must be promptly reported by you to the Office of +Security. + +There should be no doubt in your mind about the reality of the threats. +You are now affiliated with the most sensitive agency in government and +are expected to exercise vigilance and common sense to protect NSA +against these threats. + +Classification + +Originators of correspondence, communications, equipment, or documents +within the Agency are responsible for ensuring that the proper +classification, downgrading information and, when appropriate, proper +caveat notations are assigned to such material. (This includes any +handwritten notes which contain classified information). The three +levels of classification are Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. The +NSA Classification Manual should be used as guidance in determining +proper classification. If after review of this document you need +assistance, contact the Classification Advisory Officer (CAO) assigned +to your organization, or the Information Policy Division (Q43). + +Need-To-Know + +Classified information is disseminated only on a strict "need-to-know" +basis. The "need-to-know" policy means that classified information will +be disseminated only to those individuals who, in addition to possessing +a proper clearance, have a requirement to know this information in order +to perform their official duties (need-to-know). No person is entitled +to classified information solely by virtue of office, position, rank, or +security clearance. + +All NSA personnel have the responsibility to assert the "need-to-know" +policy as part of their responsibility to protect sensitive information. +Determination of "need-to-know" is a supervisory responsibility. This +means that if there is any doubt in your mind as to an individual's +"need-to-know," you should always check with your supervisor before +releasing any classified material under your control. + +For Official Use Only + +Separate from classified information is information or material marked +"FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" (such as this handbook). This designation is +used to identify that official information or material which, although +unclassified, is exempt from the requirement for public disclosure of +information concerning government activities and which, for a +significant reason, should not be given general circulation. Each +holder of "FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY" (FOUO) information or material is +authorized to disclose such information or material to persons in other +departments or agencies of the Executive and Judicial branches when it +is determined that the information or material is required to carry our +a government function. The recipient must be advised that the +information or material is not to be disclosed to the general public. +Material which bears the "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" caveat does not come +under the regulations governing the protection of classified +information. The unauthorized disclosure of information marked "FOR +OFFICIAL USE ONLY" does not constitute an unauthorized disclosure of +classified defense information. However, Department of Defense and NSA +regulations prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of information +designated "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY." Appropriate administrative action +will be taken to determine responsibility and to apply corrective and/or +disciplinary measures in cases of unauthorized disclosure of information +which bears the "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" caveat. Reasonable care must be +exercised in limiting the dissemination of "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" +information. While you may take this handbook home for further study, +remember that is does contain "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" information which +should be protected. + +Prepublication Review + +All NSA personnel (employees, military assignees, and contractors) must +submit for review any planned articles, books, speeches, resumes, or +public statements that may contain classified, classifiable, +NSA-derived, or unclassified protected information, e.g., information +relating to the organization, mission, functions, or activities of NSA. +Your obligation to protect this sensitive information is a lifetime one. +Even when you resign, retire, or otherwise end your affiliation with +NSA, you must submit this type of material for prepublication review. +For additional details, contact the Information Policy Division (Q43) +for an explanation of prepublication review procedures. + +Personnel Security Responsibilities + +Perhaps you an recall your initial impression upon entering an NSA +facility. Like most people, you probably noticed the elaborate physical +security safeguards--fences, concrete barriers, Security Protective +Officers, identification badges, etc. While these measures provide a +substantial degree of protection for the information housed within our +buildings, they represent only a portion of the overall Agency security +program. In fact, vast amounts of information leave our facilities +daily in the minds of NSA personnel, and this is where our greatest +vulnerability lies. Experience has indicated that because of the vital +information we work with at NSA, Agency personnel may become potential +targets for hostile intelligence efforts. Special safeguards are +therefore necessary to protect our personnel. + +Accordingly, the Agency has an extensive personnel security program +which establishes internal policies and guidelines governing employee +conduct and activities. These policies cover a variety of topics, all +of which are designed to protect both you and the sensitive information +you will gain through your work at NSA. + +Association With Foreign Nationals + +As a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and by virtue of your +access to sensitive information, you are a potential target for hostile +intelligence activities carried out by or on behalf of citizens of +foreign countries. A policy concerning association with foreign +nationals has been established by the Agency to minimize the likelihood +that its personnel might become subject to undue influence or duress or +targets of hostile activities through foreign relationships. + +As an NSA affiliate, you are prohibited from initiating or maintaining +associations (regardless of the nature and degree) with citizens or +officials of communist-controlled, or other countries which pose a +significant threat to the security of the United States and its +interests. A comprehensive list of these designated countries is +available from your Staff Security Officer or the Security Awareness +Division. Any contact with citizens of these countries, no matter how +brief or seemingly innocuous, must be reported as soon as possible to +your Staff Security Officer (SSO). (Individuals designated as Staff +Security Officers are assigned to every organization; a listing of Staff +Security Officers can be found at the back of this handbook). + +Additionally, close and continuing associations with any non-U.S. +citizens which are characterized by ties of kinship, obligation, or +affection are prohibited. A waiver to this policy may be granted only +under the most exceptional circumstances when there is a truly +compelling need for an individual's services or skills and the security +risk is negligible. + +In particular, a waiver must be granted in advance of a marriage to or +cohabitation with a foreign national in order to retain one's access to +NSA information. Accordingly, any intent to cohabitate with or marry a +non-U.S. citizen must be reported immediately to your Staff Security +Officer. If a waiver is granted, future reassignments both at +headquarters and overseas may be affected. + +The marriage or intended marriage of an immediate family member +(parents, siblings, children) to a foreign national must also be +reported through your SSO to the Clearance Division (M55). + +Casual social associations with foreign nationals (other than those of +the designated countries mentioned above) which arise from normal living +and working arrangements in the community usually do not have to be +reported. During the course of these casual social associations, you are +encouraged to extend the usual social amenities. Do not act +mysteriously or draw attention to yourself (and possibly to NSA) by +displaying an unusually wary attitude. + +Naturally, your affiliation with the Agency and the nature of your work +should not be discussed. Again, you should be careful not to allow +these associations to become close and continuing to the extent that +they are characterized by ties of kinship, obligation, or affection. + +If at any time you feel that a "casual" association is in any way +suspicious, you should report this to your Staff Security Officer +immediately. Whenever any doubt exists as to whether or not a situation +should be reported or made a matter of record, you should decide in +favor of reporting it. In this way, the situation can be evaluated on +its own merits, and you can be advised as to your future course of +action. + +Correspondence With Foreign Nationals + +NSA personnel are discouraged from initiating correspondence with +individuals who are citizens of foreign countries. Correspondence with +citizens of communist-controlled or other designated countries is +prohibited. Casual social correspondence, including the "penpal" +variety, with other foreign acquaintances is acceptable and need not be +reported. If, however, this correspondence should escalate in its +frequency or nature, you should report that through your Staff Security +Officer to the Clearance Division (M55). + +Embassy Visits + +Since a significant percentage of all espionage activity is known to be +conducted through foreign embassies, consulates, etc., Agency policy +discourages visits to embassies, consulates or other official +establishments of a foreign government. Each case, however, must be +judged on the circumstances involved. Therefore, if you plan to visit a +foreign embassy for any reason (even to obtain a visa), you must consult +with, and obtain the prior approval of, your immediate supervisor and +the Security Awareness Division (M56). + +Amateur Radio Activities + +Amateur radio (ham radio) activities are known to be exploited by +hostile intelligence services to identify individuals with access to +classified information; therefore, all licensed operators are expected +to be familiar with NSA/CSS Regulation 100-1, "Operation of Amateur +Radio Stations" (23 October 1986). The specific limitations on contacts +with operators from communist and designated countries are of particular +importance. If you are an amateur radio operator you should advise the +Security Awareness Division (M56) of your amateur radio activities so +that detailed guidance may be furnished to you. + +Unofficial Foreign Travel + +In order to further protect sensitive information from possible +compromise resulting from terrorism, coercion, interrogation or capture +of Agency personnel by hostile nations and/or terrorist groups, the +Agency has established certain policies and procedures concerning +unofficial foreign travel. + +All Agency personnel (civilian employees, military assignees, and +contractors) who are planning unofficial foreign travel must have that +travel approved by submitting a proposed itinerary to the Security +Awareness Division (M56) at least 30 working days prior to their planned +departure from the United States. Your itinerary should be submitted on +Form K2579 (Unofficial Foreign Travel Request). This form provides +space for noting the countries to be visited, mode of travel, and dates +of departure and return. Your immediate supervisor must sign this form +to indicate whether or not your proposed travel poses a risk to the +sensitive information, activities, or projects of which you may have +knowledge due to your current assignment. + +After your supervisor's assessment is made, this form should be +forwarded to the Security Awareness Director (M56). Your itinerary will +then be reviewed in light of the existing situation in the country or +countries to be visited, and a decision for approval or disapproval will +be based on this assessment. The purpose of this policy is to limit the +risk of travel to areas of the world where a threat may exist to you and +to your knowledge of classified Agency activities. + +In this context, travel to communist-controlled and other hazardous +activity areas is prohibited. A listing of these hazardous activity +areas is prohibited. A listing of these hazardous activity areas can be +found in Annex A of NSA/CSS Regulation No. 30-31, "Security Requirements +for Foreign Travel" (12 June 1987). From time to time, travel may also +be prohibited to certain areas where the threat from hostile +intelligence services, terrorism, criminal activity or insurgency poses +an unacceptable risk to Agency employees and to the sensitive +information they possess. Advance travel deposits made without prior +agency approval of the proposed travel may result in financial losses by +the employee should the travel be disapproved, so it is important to +obtain approval prior to committing yourself financially. Questions +regarding which areas of the world currently pose a threat should be +directed to the Security Awareness Division (M56). + +Unofficial foreign travel to Canada, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Mexico +does not require prior approval, however, this travel must still be +reported using Form K2579. Travel to these areas may be reported after +the fact. + +While you do not have to report your foreign travel once you have ended +your affiliation with the Agency, you should be aware that the risk +incurred in travelling to certain areas, from a personal safety and/or +counterintelligence standpoint, remains high. The requirement to +protect the classified information to which you have had access is a +lifetime obligation. + +Membership In Organizations + +Within the United States there are numerous organizations with +memberships ranging from a few to tens of thousands. While you may +certainly participate in the activities of any reputable organization, +membership in any international club or professional +organization/activity with foreign members should be reported through +your Staff Security Officer to the Clearance Division (M55). In most +cases there are no security concerns or threats to our employees or +affiliates. However, the Office of Security needs the opportunity to +research the organization and to assess any possible risk to you and the +information to which you have access. + +In addition to exercising prudence in your choice of organizational +affiliations, you should endeavor to avoid participation in public +activities of a conspicuously controversial nature because such +activities could focus undesirable attention upon you and the Agency. +NSA employees may, however, participate in bona fide public affairs such +as local politics, so long as such activities do not violate the +provisions of the statutes and regulations which govern the political +activities of all federal employees. Additional information may be +obtained from your Personnel Representative. + +Changes In Marital Status/Cohabitation/Names + +All personnel, either employed by or assigned to NSA, must advise the +Office of Security of any changes in their marital status (either +marriage or divorce), cohabitation arrangements, or legal name changes. +Such changes should be reported by completing NSA Form G1982 (Report of +Marriage/Marital Status Change/Name Change), and following the +instructions printed on the form. + +Use And Abuse Of Drugs + +It is the policy of the National Security Agency to prevent and +eliminate the improper use of drugs by Agency employees and other +personnel associated with the Agency. The term "drugs" includes all +controlled drugs or substances identified and listed in the Controlled +Substances Act of 1970, as amended, which includes but is not limited +to: narcotics, depressants, stimulants, cocaine, hallucinogens ad +cannabis (marijuana, hashish, and hashish oil). The use of illegal drugs +or the abuse of prescription drugs by persons employed by, assigned or +detailed to the Agency may adversely affect the national security; may +have a serious damaging effect on the safety and the safety of others; +and may lead to criminal prosecution. Such use of drugs either within +or outside Agency controlled facilities is prohibited. + +Physical Security Policies + +The physical security program at NSA provides protection for classified +material and operations and ensures that only persons authorized access +to the Agency's spaces and classified material are permitted such +access. This program is concerned not only with the Agency's physical +plant and facilities, but also with the internal and external procedures +for safeguarding the Agency's classified material and activities. +Therefore, physical security safeguards include Security Protective +Officers, fences, concrete barriers, access control points, +identification badges, safes, and the compartmentalization of physical +spaces. While any one of these safeguards represents only a delay +factor against attempts to gain unauthorized access to NSA spaces and +material, the total combination of all these safeguards represents a +formidable barrier against physical penetration of NSA. Working +together with personnel security policies, they provide "security in +depth." + +The physical security program depends on interlocking procedures. The +responsibility for carrying out many of these procedures rests with the +individual. This means you, and every person employed by, assign, or +detailed to the Agency, must assume the responsibility for protecting +classified material. Included in your responsibilities are: +challenging visitors in operational areas; determining "need-to-know;" +limiting classified conversations to approved areas; following +established locking and checking procedures; properly using the secure +and non-secure telephone systems; correctly wrapping and packaging +classified data for transmittal; and placing classified waste in burn +bags. + +The NSA Badge + +Even before you enter an NSA facility, you have a constant reminder of +security--the NSA badge. Every person who enters an NSA installation is +required to wear an authorized badge. To enter most NSA facilities your +badge must be inserted into an Access Control Terminal at a building +entrance and you must enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) on +the terminal keyboard. In the absence of an Access Control Terminal, or +when passing an internal security checkpoint, the badge should be held +up for viewing by a Security Protective Officer. The badge must be +displayed at all times while the individual remains within any NSA +installation. + +NSA Badges must be clipped to a beaded neck chain. If necessary for the +safety of those working in the area of electrical equipment or +machinery, rubber tubing may be used to insulate the badge chain. For +those Agency personnel working in proximity to other machinery or +equipment, the clip may be used to attach the badge to the wearer's +clothing, but it must also remain attached to the chain. + +After you leave an NSA installation, remove your badge from public view, +thus avoiding publicizing your NSA affiliation. Your badge should be +kept in a safe place which is convenient enough to ensure that you will +be reminded to bring it with you to work. A good rule of thumb is to +afford your badge the same protection you give your wallet or your +credit cards. DO NOT write your Personal Identification Number on your +badge. + +If you plan to be away from the Agency for a period of more than 30 +days, your badge should be left at the main Visitor Control Center which +services your facility. + +Should you lose your badge, you must report the facts and circumstances +immediately to the Security Operations Center (SOC) +(963-3371s/688-6911b) so that your badge PIN can be deactivated in the +Access Control Terminals. In the event that you forget your badge when +reporting for duty, you may obtain a "non-retention" Temporary Badge at +the main Visitor Control Center which serves your facility after a +co-worker personally identifies your and your clearance has been +verified. + +Your badge is to be used as identification only within NSA facilities or +other government installations where the NSA badge is recognized. Your +badge should never be used outside of the NSA or other government +facilities for the purpose of personal identification. You should +obtain a Department of Defense identification card from the Civilian +Welfare Fund (CWF) if you need to identify yourself as a government +employee when applying for "government discounts" offered at various +commercial establishments. + +Your badge color indicates your particular affiliation with NSA and your +level of clearance. Listed below are explanations of the badge colors +you are most likely to see: + + Green (*) Fully cleared NSA employees and certain military + assignees. + + Orange (*) (or Gold) Fully cleared representative of other + government agencies. + + Black (*) Fully cleared contractors or consultants. + + Blue Employees who are cleared to the SECRET level + while awaiting completion of their processing + for full (TS/SI) clearance. These Limited + Interim Clearance (LIC) employees are restricted + to certain activities while inside a secure + area. + + Red Clearance level is not specified, so assume the + holder is uncleared. + +* - Fully cleared status means that the person has been cleared to the +Top Secret (TS) level and indoctrinated for Special Intelligence (SI). + +All badges with solid color backgrounds (permanent badges) are kept by +individuals until their NSA employment or assignment ends. Striped +badges ("non-retention" badges) are generally issued to visitors and are +returned to the Security Protective Officer upon departure from an NSA +facility. + +Area Control + +Within NSA installations there are generally two types of areas, +Administrative and Secure. An Administrative Area is one in which +storage of classified information is not authorized, and in which +discussions of a classified nature are forbidden. This type of area +would include the corridors, restrooms, cafeterias, visitor control +areas, credit union, barber shop, and drugstore. Since uncleared, +non-NSA personnel are often present in these areas, all Agency personnel +must ensure that no classified information is discussed in an +Administrative Area. + +Classified information being transported within Agency facilities must +be placed within envelopes, folders, briefcases, etc. to ensure that its +contents or classification markings are not disclosed to unauthorized +persons, or that materials are not inadvertently dropped enroute. + +The normal operational work spaces within an NSA facility are designated +Secure Areas. These areas are approved for classified discussions and +for the storage of classified material. Escorts must be provided if it +is necessary for uncleared personnel (repairmen, etc.) to enter Secure +Areas, an all personnel within the areas must be made aware of the +presence of uncleared individuals. All unknown, unescorted visitors to +Secure Areas should be immediately challenged by the personnel within +the area, regardless of the visitors' clearance level (as indicated by +their badge color). + +The corridor doors of these areas must be locked with a deadbolt and all +classified information in the area must be properly secured after normal +working hours or whenever the area is unoccupied. When storing +classified material, the most sensitive material must be stored in the +most secure containers. Deadbolt keys for doors to these areas must be +returned to the key desk at the end of the workday. + +For further information regarding Secure Areas, consult the Physical +Security Division (M51) or your staff Security Officer. + +Items Treated As Classified + +For purposes of transportation, storage and destruction, there are +certain types of items which must be treated as classified even though +they may not contain classified information. Such items include carbon +paper, vu-graphs, punched machine processing cards, punched paper tape, +magnetic tape, computer floppy disks, film, and used typewriter ribbons. +This special treatment is necessary since a visual examination does not +readily reveal whether the items contain classified information. + +Prohibited Items + +Because of the potential security or safety hazards, certain items are +prohibited under normal circumstances from being brought into or removed +from any NSA installation. These items have been groped into two +general classes. Class I prohibited items are those which constitute a +threat to the safety and security of NSA/CSS personnel and facilities. +Items in this category include: + + a. Firearms and ammunition + b. Explosives, incendiary substances, radioactive materials, + highly volatile materials, or other hazardous materials + c. Contraband or other illegal substances + d. Personally owned photographic or electronic equipment + including microcomputers, reproduction or recording devices, + televisions or radios. + +Prescribed electronic medical equipment is normally not prohibited, but +requires coordination with the Physical Security Division (M51) prior to +being brought into any NSA building. + +Class II prohibited items are those owned by the government or +contractors which constitute a threat to physical, technical, or TEMPEST +security. Approval by designated organizational officials is required +before these items can be brought into or removed from NSA facilities. +Examples are: + + a. Transmitting and receiving equipment + b. Recording equipment and media + c. Telephone equipment and attachments + d. Computing devices and terminals + e. Photographic equipment and film + +A more detailed listing of examples of Prohibited Items may be obtained +from your Staff Security Officer or the Physical Security Division +(M51). + +Additionally, you may realize that other seemingly innocuous items are +also restricted and should not be brought into any NSA facility. Some +of these items pose a technical threat; others must be treated as +restricted since a visual inspection does not readily reveal whether +they are classified. These items include: + + a. Negatives from processed film; slides; vu-graphs + b. Magnetic media such as floppy disks, cassette tapes, and VCR + videotapes + c. Remote control devices for telephone answering machines + d. Pagers + +Exit Inspection + +As you depart NSA facilities, you will note another physical security +safeguard--the inspection of the materials you are carrying. This +inspection of your materials, conducted by Security Protective Officers, +is designed to preclude the inadvertent removal of classified material. +It is limited to any articles that you are carrying out of the facility +and may include letters, briefcases, newspapers, notebooks, magazines, +gym bags, and other such items. Although this practice may involve some +inconvenience, it is conducted in your best interest, as well as being a +sound security practice. The inconvenience can be considerably reduced +if you keep to a minimum the number of personal articles that you remove +from the Agency. + +Removal Of Material From NSA Spaces + +The Agency maintains strict controls regarding the removal of material +from its installations, particularly in the case of classified material. + +Only under a very limited and official circumstances classified material +be removed from Agency spaces. When deemed necessary, specific +authorization is required to permit an individual to hand carry +classified material out of an NSA building to another Secure Area. +Depending on the material and circumstances involved, there are several +ways to accomplish this. + +A Courier Badge authorizes the wearer, for official purposes, to +transport classified material, magnetic media, or Class II prohibited +items between NSA facilities. These badges, which are strictly +controlled, are made available by the Physical Security Division (M51) +only to those offices which have specific requirements justifying their +use. + +An Annual Security Pass may be issued to individuals whose official +duties require that they transport printed classified materials, +information storage media, or Class II prohibited items to secure +locations within the local area. Materials carried by an individual who +displays this pass are subject to spot inspection by Security Protective +Officers or other personnel from the Office of Security. It is not +permissible to use an Annual Security Pass for personal convenience to +circumvent inspection of your personal property by perimeter Security +Protective Officers. + +If you do not have access to a Courier Badge and you have not been +issued an Annual Security Pass, you may obtain a One-Time Security Pass +to remove classified materials/magnetic media or admit or remove +prohibited items from an NSA installation. These passes may be obtained +from designated personnel in your work element who have been given +authority to issue them. The issuing official must also contact the +Security Operations Center (SOC) to obtain approval for the admission or +removal of a Class I prohibited item. + +When there is an official need to remove government property which is +not magnetic media, or a prohibited or classified item, a One-Time +Property Pass is used. This type of pass (which is not a Security Pass) +may be obtained from your element custodial property officer. A +Property Pass is also to be used when an individual is removing personal +property which might be reasonably be mistaken for unclassified +Government property. This pass is surrendered to the Security +Protective Officer at the post where the material is being removed. Use +of this pass does not preclude inspection of the item at the perimeter +control point by the Security Protective Officer or Security +professionals to ensure that the pass is being used correctly. + +External Protection Of Classified Information + +On those occasions when an individual must personally transport +classified material between locations outside of NSA facilities, the +individual who is acting as the courier must ensure that the material +receives adequate protection. Protective measures must include double +wrapping and packaging of classified information, keeping the material +under constant control, ensuring the presence of a second appropriately +cleared person when necessary, and delivering the material to authorized +persons only. If you are designated as a courier outside the local +area, contact the Security Awareness Division (M56) for your courier +briefing. + +Even more basic than these procedures is the individual security +responsibility to confine classified conversations to secure areas. +Your home, car pool, and public places are not authorized areas to +conduct classified discussions--even if everyone involved in he +discussion possesses a proper clearance and "need-to-know." The +possibility that a conversation could be overheard by unauthorized +persons dictates the need to guard against classified discussions in +non-secure areas. + +Classified information acquired during the course of your career or +assignment to NSA may not be mentioned directly, indirectly, or by +suggestion in personal diaries, records, or memoirs. + +Reporting Loss Or Disclosure Of Classified Information + +The extraordinary sensitivity of the NSA mission requires the prompt +reporting of any known, suspected, or possible unauthorized disclosure +of classified information, or the discovery that classified information +may be lost, or is not being afforded proper protection. Any +information coming to your attention concerning the loss or unauthorized +disclosure of classified information should be reported immediately to +your supervisor, your Staff Security Officer, or the Security Operations +Center (SOC). + +Use Of Secure And Non-Secure Telephones + +Two separate telephone systems have been installed in NSA facilities for +use in the conduct of official Agency business: the secure telephone +system (gray telephone) and the outside, non-secure telephone system +(black telephone). All NSA personnel must ensure that use of either +telephone system does not jeopardize the security of classified +information. + +The secure telephone system is authorized for discussion of classified +information. Personnel receiving calls on the secure telephone may +assume that the caller is authorized to use the system. However, you +must ensure that the caller has a "need-to-know" the information you +will be discussing. + +The outside telephone system is only authorized for unclassified +official Agency business calls. The discussion of classified +information is not permitted on this system. Do not attempt to use +"double-talk" in order to discuss classified information over the +non-secure telephone system. + +In order to guard against the inadvertent transmission of classified +information over a non-secure telephone, and individual using the black +telephone in an area where classified activities are being conducted +must caution other personnel in the area that the non-secure telephone +is in use. Likewise, you should avoid using the non-secure telephone in +the vicinity of a secure telephone which is also in use. + +HELPFUL INFORMATION + +Security Resources + +In the fulfillment of your security responsibilities, you should be +aware that there are many resources available to assist you. If you +have any questions or concerns regarding security at NSA or your +individual security responsibilities, your supervisor should be +consulted. Additionally, Staff Security Officers are appointed to the +designated Agency elements to assist these organizations in carrying out +their security responsibilities. There is a Staff Security Officer +assigned to each organization; their phone numbers are listed at the +back of this handbook. Staff Security Officers also provide guidance to +and monitor the activities of Security Coordinators and Advisors +(individuals who, in addition to their operational duties within their +respective elements, assist element supervisors or managers in +discharging security responsibilities). + +Within the Office of Security, the Physical Security Division (M51) will +offer you assistance in matters such as access control, security passes, +clearance verification, combination locks, keys, identification badges, +technical security, and the Security Protective Force. The Security +Awareness Division (M56) provides security guidance and briefings +regarding unofficial foreign travel, couriers, special access, TDY/PCS, +and amateur radio activities. The Industrial and Field Security +Division (M52) is available to provide security guidance concerning NSA +contractor and field site matters. + +The Security Operations Center (SOC) is operated by two Security Duty +Officers (SDOs), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The SDO, representing +the Office of Security, provides a complete range of security services +to include direct communications with fire and rescue personnel for all +Agency area facilities. The SDO is available to handle any physical or +personnel problems that may arise, and if necessary, can direct your to +the appropriate security office that can assist you. After normal +business hours, weekends, and holidays, the SOC is the focal point for +all security matters for all Agency personnel and facilities (to include +Agency field sites and contractors). The SOC is located in Room 2A0120, +OPS 2A building and the phone numbers are 688-6911(b), 963-3371(s). + +However, keep in mind that you may contact any individual or any +division within the Office of Security directly. Do not hesitate to +report any information which may affect the security of the Agency's +mission, information, facilities or personnel. + +Security-Related Services + +In addition to Office of Security resources, there are a number of +professional, security-related services available for assistance in +answering your questions or providing the services which you require. + +The Installations and Logistics Organization (L) maintains the system +for the collection and destruction of classified waste, and is also +responsible for the movement and scheduling of material via NSA couriers +and the Defense Courier Service (DCS). Additionally, L monitors the +proper addressing, marking, and packaging of classified material being +transmitted outside of NSA; maintains records pertaining to receipt and +transmission of controlled mail; and issues property passes for the +removal of unclassified property. + +The NSA Office of Medical Services (M7) has a staff of physicians, +clinical psychologists and an alcoholism counselor. All are well +trained to help individuals help themselves in dealing with their +problems. Counseling services, with referrals to private mental health +professionals when appropriate, are all available to NSA personnel. +Appointments can be obtained by contacting M7 directly. When an +individual refers himself/herself, the information discussed in the +counseling sessions is regarded as privileged medical information and is +retained exclusively in M7 unless it pertains to the national security. + +Counselling interviews are conducted by the Office of Civilian Personnel +(M3) with any civilian employee regarding both on and off-the-job +problems. M3 is also available to assist all personnel with the +personal problems seriously affecting themselves or members of their +families. In cases of serious physical or emotional illness, injury, +hospitalization, or other personal emergencies, M3 informs concerned +Agency elements and maintains liaison with family members in order to +provide possible assistance. Similar counselling services are available +to military assignees through Military Personnel (M2). + +GUIDE TO SECURITY + +M51 PHYSICAL SECURITY 963-6651s/688-8293b (FMHQ) +968-8101s/859-6411b (FANX) + +CONFIRM and badges Prohibited Items +(963-6611s/688-7411b) +Locks, keys, safes and alarms SOC (963-3371s/688-6911b) +Security/vehicle passes NSA facility protection and compliance +Visitor Control +Inspections +Red/blue seal areas New Construction +Pass Clearances (963-4780s/688-6759b) + +M52 INDUSTRIAL AND FIELD SECURITY +982-7918s/859-6255b + +Security at contractor field site facilities +Verification of classified mailing addresses for contractor facilities + +M53 INVESTIGATIONS 982-7914s/859-6464b + +Personnel Interview Program (PIP) Reinvestigations +Military Interview Program (MIP) Special investigations + +M54 COUNTERINTELLIGENCE 982-7832s/859-6424b + +Security counterintelligence analysis Security compromises + +M55 CLEARANCES 982-7900s/859-4747b + +Privacy Act Officer (For review of security files) Continued SCI access +Contractor/applicant processing Military access + +M56 SECURITY AWARENESS 963-3273s/688-6535b + +Security indoctrinations/debriefings Embassy visits +Associations with foreign nationals Briefings (foreign travel, +Security Week ham radio, courier, +Security posters, brochures, etc. LIC, PCS, TDY, + special access, etc.) +Foreign travel approval +Military contractor orientation +Special Access Office (963-5466s/688-6353b) + +M57 POLYGRAPH 982-7844s/859-6363b + +Polygraph interviews + +M509 MANAGEMENT AND POLICY STAFF 982-7885s/859-6350b + +STAFF SECURITY OFFICERS (SSOs) + +Element Room Secure/Non-Secure +A 2A0852B 963-4650/688-7044 +B 3W099 963-4559/688-7141 +D/Q/J/N/U 2B8066G 963-4496/688-6614 +E/M D3B17 968-8050/859-6669 +G 9A195 963-5033/688-7902 +K 2B5136 963-1978/688-5052 +L SAB4 977-7230/688-6194 +P 2W091 963-5302/688-7303 +R B6B710 968-4073/859-4736 +S/V/Y/C/X C2A55 972-2144/688-7549 +T 2B5040 963-4543/688-7364 +W 1C181 963-5970/688-7061 + +GUIDE TO SECURITY-RELATED SERVICES + +Agency Anonymity 968-8251/859-4381 +Alcohol Rehabilitation Program 963-5420/688-7312 +Cipher Lock Repair 963-1221/688-7119 +Courier Schedules (local) 977-7197/688-7403 +Defense Courier Service 977-7117/688-7826 +Disposal of Classified Waste + - Paper only 972-2150/688-6593 + - Plastics, Metal, Film, etc 963-4103/688-7062 +Locksmith 963-3585/688-7233 +Mail Dissemination and Packaging 977-7117/688-7826 +Medical Center (Fort Meade) 963-5429/688-7263 + (FANX) 968-8960/859-6667 + (Airport Square) 982-7800/859-6155 +NSA/CSS Information Policy Division 963-5825/688-6527 +Personnel Assistance + - Civilian 982-7835/859-6577 + - Air Force 963-3239/688-7980 + - Army 963-3739/688-6393 + - Navy 963-3439/688-7325 +Property Passes (unclassified material) 977-7263/688-7800 +Psychological Services 963-5429/688-7311 + +FREQUENTLY USED ACRONYMS/DESIGNATORS + +ARFCOS Armed Forces Courier Service (now known as DCS) +AWOL Absent Without Leave +CAO Classification Advisory Officer +COB Close of Business +CWF Civilian Welfare Fund +DCS Defense Courier Service (formerly known as ARFCOS) +DoD Department of Defense +EOD Enter on Duty +FOUO For Official Use Only +M2 Office of Military Personnel +M3 Office of Civilian Personnel +M5 Office of Security +M7 Office of Medical Services +NCS National Cryptologic School +PCS Permanent Change of Station +PIN Personal Identification Number +Q43 Information Policy Division +SDO Security Duty Officer +SOC Security Operations Center +SPO Security Protective Officer +SSO Staff Security Officer +TDY Temporary Duty +UFT Unofficial Foreign Travel + +A FINAL NOTE + +The information you have just read is designed to serve as a guide to +assist you in the conduct of your security responsibilities.

He's being kept +under heavy quarantine because God only knows what he's been exposed to on +that planet." + +SHOCKED + +Tarenko shocked government officials in Moscow when he was chaufferured back +to earth in a small UFO about the size of a 727 jetliner. The craft that had +plucked him from his failing capsule was huge, about a quarter mile in +diameter, he said. + +"The spaceship was set up like a giant traveling city," says the confused +cosmonaut. + +"They sent out some sort of beam that wrapped around my capsule and pulled me +into an open bay on the underside of the UFO. + +"At first I thought my comrades had come from home to save me and the ship. +but when I climbed out of my capsule I was greeted by a half-dozen bizarre +strangers. + +SPOKE CLEARLY + +"They had big oval shaped heads, tow large totally-black eyes, a little hole +that I expect served as their noses and no visible mouths. Yet they spoke very +clearly to each other in a strange language - and to me in perfect Russian. + +"I came to learn that they are an extremely intellectual lot with highly +developed senses. They knew plenty about me, while I didn't have a clue about +them." + +The aliens informed Tarenko that he had nothing to fear from them. He was an +honored guest aboard their ship and they would do whatever they could to make +him feel at home. + +Alien doctors performed a complete physical to ensure there were no health +problems that could affect their immune systems. Meanwhile, technicians tore +apart the crude Russian capsule to see what made it tick. + +"While they were giving me the once-over, they saw I suffered from several +blockages near my heart," says the colonel. "One of them picked up a pencil- +thin instrument and aimed it at my chest. I was a bit edgy because they didn't +bother giving me any kind of painkiller. + +WARMTH + +"But when the reddish beam of light sliced into my chest, I didn't feel +anything except a pleasant warmth. Within 30 seconds the surgery was done and +I was left with no visible scars - and feeling like a million rubles." + +The aliens gave Colonel Tarenko the choice of visiting their home planet or +being transported back to earth.

An hour later +and some ten miles west in Newark, New Jersey, the same disturbance puzzled +former Navy man and ham-radio operator John Gonzalez. Gonzalez's neighbors +were disrupted as well: TV reception was interrupted, homes shook as if in an +earthquake, and several witnesses reported a flash of light. Gonzalez now +claims he could make out a disc-shaped craft inside the light, and contends the +craft brushed his ham-radio antenna and knocked down tree branches in his +backyard. A strange, ashlike sphere the size of a golf ball was later found in +his yard. Rich in evidence, this intriguing incident has already been +investigated by police and fire departments and by researchers in a lab. The +needed culmination for all this data: a synthesis, in which an explanation +might emerge. + +Multiple witnesses and physical effects also define dramatic sightings over +southwestern Michigan, where hundreds of people have reported red and white +lights moving in circles through the sky. Here, the documentation includes +police reports confirming the strange phenomena as well as data from the +National Weather Service at the Muskegon County Airport, where meteorologists +have tracked the light on radar. While experts concede that radar alone can be +misleading, it does add weight to reports and suggests that something might be +afoot. + +And in Alabama, an accounting teacher and mother of two says her abduction by +aliens was harrowing. Her story, precise in its detail, echoes the claims of +hundreds of other alleged abductees who have come out of the closet of late. +But given all the recent research on false memory syndrome, can anyone accept +her account, rendered through deep hypnosis, as literally true? Well, it might +be easier to evaluate if some of the evidence described by abductee Leah Haley +turns out to be real. From odd scratches and scoops on her skin to weird +malfunctions in her security system to alleged harassment by military men in +fatigues. Haley claims to have a plethora of evidence that sets her story +apart from other, more anecdotal tales. + +These incidents all have one thing in common: They offer evidence that can be +analyzed, fertile ground for Omni's newest venture, Project Open Book. In our +effort to examine the UFO phenomenon, our basic question is clear: In the +midst of all the sightings, all the claims and counterclaims, all the +abduction scenarios, conspiracy theories and hype, is there any +incontrovertible evidence, solid as nuts and bolts and plain as day, of +visitation from on high? + +We feel we are in a good position to pose this question because we have no ax +to grind. As an editorial staff, we are not yet convinced the invasion has +begun. Yet we don't have the knee-jerk instinct to debunk material just +because it's weird. Yes, we agree the universe is vast enough and evolution +flexible enough to forge intelligent species throughout the cosmos, +especially on earthlike planets around sunlike stars. Yet we feel the feat of +interstellar travel would be tricky, even for geniuses of the cosmic kind. In +the end, there's just one thing we sense for sure: The UFO data suggests a +mystery - unabiding, unresolved and sometimes downright spooky-in which +strange phenomena continue to go unexplained. + +In our search for evidence, explaining is mostly what we aim to do. As +investigators have found in the past, the large majority of UFO sightings are +rooted in the mundane. Whether sightings have proved to be practical jokes and +hoaxes, meteors, cloud formations, ball lightning, Soviet satellites, or +"black" aircraft under development in the United States, some 90 percent of +all UFO reports investigated are eventually explained. Just sift through our +past columns on the subject, and you will see that finding real-world +explanations for the UFO phenomenon has been our impetus throughout. + +In seeking to explain, moreover, Open Book will continue to embrace Omni's +longstanding policy of informed skepticism. Show-me-from Missouri types, we +will abide by the skeptic's tenet: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary +levels of proof. In our philosophical universe., if we do not work hard to +find an explanation-an ordinary explanation-for each and every case we look +into, then our work has not been done. When we send our researchers out to +sift through evidence for signs of E.T., you can bet your bottom dollar the +terrible burden of proof will stay with us. And Open Book's final query will +always be the same: Is there any evidence that proves, to our satisfaction and +beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the alien interpretation of UFOs is for +real? + +UFO researchers have attempted to address this issue from the start. One of +the first to try to bring the scrutiny of science to bear on UFO sightings was +the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who, during the 1940s and 1950s, worked as an +astronomer at the Smithsonian, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, +and Harvard, producing rigorous papers on electronic satellite tracking and +supernovas. At first a hardheaded skeptic, Hynek also worked for the Air +Force, looking into UFO reports for the notorious Project Blue Book. Although +Blue Book has, in recent years, been discredited as a PR organ of an Air Force +intent on debunking any and all UFO reports, Hynek himself went through a +conversion at its helm. As he followed " the program," squelching one UFO flap +after the next, he began to doubt his own words. "Somewhere along the line," +he told Omni, "I realized that I wasn't being scientifically honest. The +sightings needed further investigation, but we were disregarding them, +throwing the data away." + +That realization put Hynek on a path he would follow for the rest of his life. +He began making copies of all the documents to come out of Blue Book and +gathered data that would allow him to study UFOs as they had never been +studied before. He classified the various types of reports and even traveled +around the country investigating the more interesting ones. Hynek agreed that +many of the sightings could be explained. But, he held, there was "nothing in +the accepted scientific paradigm to explain them all." + +His obsession resulted, in 1973, in the founding of the Center for UFO Studies +in Evanston, Illinois. Out of this small operation, run mostly through the +donations of friends, he produced respected papers and monographs in a field +replete with misguided enthusiasts, psychopaths, and frauds. + +In the end, the so-called science of J. Allen Hynek went soft. Critics, and +even friends, began to say he'd become shockingly gullible. He spent some of +his last days in the luxurious Arizona home of a wealthy, but "anonymous" +benefactor who subscribed to a psychic interpretation of UFOs and promised +Hynek he would create for him the most lavish UFO center in the world. When +Hynek died of brain cancer in April 1986, it was easy for sympathizers to say +he'd gone insane. + +Today, Hynek's legacy - his original notion that UFOs could be studied with as +much scientific rigor as a volcano or a lake - lives on in a handful of +serious researchers and open-minded skeptics who continue to sift through +evidence, seeking to make sense of the data, to explain. It is in this spirit, +and in hopes of doing what Blue Book couldn't, that Project Open Book turns +its first page. + +Because proof, if it exists, might be out there anywhere, we have asked our +readers to help. Already, our call for evidence has been heard. Thousands of +readers have written, sending us their thoughts, perceptions and suspicions, +their photographs, video- and audiotapes, their samples of earthly (or +unearthly?) leaves, rocks, and offerings from backyards and mountaintops +throughout the country and the world. + +A reader from Canada describes a mysterious object he says smashed into the +waters of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia, three decades ago. "What the Shag Harbor +UFO crash lacks in high drama, it gains in solid documentation," this eloquent +letter states. "There were many witnesses, and virtually no one of sufficient +age in Nova Scotia's Shelburne of Yarmouth counties has forgotten the event. I +am still uncovering new evidence, and have even interviewed witnesses from the +Royal Canadian Air Force, Coast Guard, and Police." + +A reader from Staunton, Virginia, described "a bright red" disc in the night +sky above his home. "In the middle were four round black circles," he reports. +"When the object floated over the apartments, it seemed to stop and turn one +of its sides up. The it did something really wonderful-it blinked a good-bye. +Its speed seemed to go from 200 miles an hour to God-knows-what, and it was +gone." + +And from the owner of a bed and breakfast inn and dairy farm in northern +Vermont, we heard this: "Sunday, January 6, 1994 I had two guests from +Washington, DC. We had been watching a video and when it went off, everyone was +heading up to bed. My husband was already upstairs, but my son and I and one +of our guests (an astrophysicist, now lawyer) decided to check the outside +temperature. We went over to my large front window to look out at the +thermometer (it was -28 degrees Fahrenheit) and we saw two bright lights in +the sky across the street. I thought 'helicopter.' But there wasn't any noise +and the two lights were spaced very wide apart. It moved so slowly. We just +looked at each other, saying 'What is it?' Regardless of the cold, we ran out +onto my font porch. It was a very gray sky that night, with the threat of +snow. The object - two large rectangle shapes connected by a central square of +triangle - was slowly moving directly toward us, without a sound, and flew +almost directly over out heads. Only then did I hear a faint rumble, like a +deeper version of the sound you hear when you place a large seashell up to +your ear." This witness reports that the local newspaper, the County Courier, +eventually carried the story, turning up witnesses she hadn't known about at +all, "In all, eight people reported the sighting," she recalls. + +Finally, we received three separate missives on the saucerlike designs +registered at the U.S. Patent Office. "There are patents in the patent office +describing certain flying aircraft not of conventional design," one reader +tells us. His claim: The patents link many people who have worked on special +or secret projects. Another reader goes even further. "I have spent several +years researching current hardware available to build these craft," he states. +A third informant sent us, via overnight delivery, more than one hundred +photocopied sheets of the patents themselves. + +A few readers have mentioned the so-called triangle craft, recently witnessed +over California and elsewhere in the United States. "During the winter of +1992-1993, I was at Beale AFB, Marysvill, California, and was in my backyard +with my telescopes," explained one of our readers. "I am an amateur astronomer +with over thirty years' experience, and was also a trained photo intelligence +specialist in all types of systems. The date was around the third of March at +about 10:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. I had just walked out of my warm-up +shed and was walking back to my telescopes about en feet away when I noticed +something floating above me, going from southeast to northwest. The craft was +a triangle shape with two rows of lights going around the middle on the two +sides and was a light gray on the bottom, possible from the reflected lights +of the housing area I lived in. There was no sound of any type and no sign of +engines. The craft looked to be as thick as a C-5A transport, which I have +seen and flown in many times. The corners and sides were curved and were only +broken by the two rows of lights. As I stood there with my mouth open, the +craft traveled out of sight toward the PAVE PAWS radar site, about two miles +away. For a long time, I thought what I saw was the new Mach +6 reconnaissance +plane that has flown near Beale for many years, but on reflection, the craft +was too thick (30 to 50 feet) to travel at such speeds. Having worked with the +SR71, I can say I have never seen a craft like this, and others here in the +Sacramento Valley have also seen the same type of craft in January and +February of this year. . . .Any ideas?" + +Since ideas are the currency Open Book trades in online, our postees have +given us quite a few. For instance, our online participants have helped us +fine-tune our notion of what is and what is not legitimate "proof." A few +people pointed out, for instance, that radar, while an important tool, is not +valid as the only evidence of a UFO. "Since radar is dependent upon +electromagnetic waves," we were told, "it may be easily distorted by other +electromagnetic waves that are man made or natural in origin. + +The consensus can be summed up by this posting: Real evidence, it was +suggested, would come when, following abduction, and alleged abductee could +deliver "advance information of an astronomical or physical nature, not known +to contemporary science but checkable or verifiable ex post facto." + +To help us evaluate the evidence, we have chosen a small but balanced panel +of experts. Because we need people experienced at UFO investigation, we have +selected a number of researchers allied with the UFO camp; all UFO researchers +on our panel have been noted not only for their field work, but also for the +high quality of their skeptical work. To give some credence to the other side +of the realm, moreover, we have solicited the help of some noted skeptics. +Intent on policing the UFO field, these panel members will help us make sure +we never let down our guard. To provide background and expertise, we have +recruited experts in aerospace and military craft. To shed some light on the +human mind, we have asked for help from a few psychologists. And, because +Omni's roots are, ultimately, journalistic, we've selected a number of +investigative reporters who will wield their craft to go through data, coming +up with what we hope is a semblance of truth. + +Already, their investigations have begun. A. J. S. Rayl, an investigative +journalist most recently writing and producing a CD-ROM on the Search for +Extraterrestrial Intelligence (or SETI), is speaking with Leah Haley, the +accountant-abductee. Jerome Clark, editor of the International UFO Reporter, +is researching the Holland, Michigan, sightings and their radar components. +Investigative science reporter Patrick Huyghe is on the trail of abduction +cases in which multiple witnesses (and/or multiple abductees) claim to have +been involved. Other Open Book panelists have been assigned to investigate the +saucerlike designs in the U.S. Patent Office, the Nova Scotia water crash, +and the bed-and-breakfast sighting in Vermont. + +Our panel has also been poking around in the past. Longtime Omni writer Paul +McCarth, for instance, was intrigued by reports that an Army Air Corps nurse +helped autopsy aliens recovered from a UFO that crashed near Roswell, New +Mexico, in July 1947 - and then just disappeared. Top Roswell researchers, in +fact, told McCarthy they had attempted to find her along with other Roswell +nurses to no avail, suggesting, perhaps, that they'd been intentionally +deleted from the record for good. McCarthy decided to track the nurses, and +thus far, had had astonishing good luck. (Look for his Open Book report in an +upcoming Omni.) + +And James Oberg, our longtime resident skeptic, an aerospace engineer, and a +world-class expert on the Soviet space program, has been looking back a decade +to 1984. His current assignment: bringing new evidence to bear on a Soviet +sighting already touted as having it all - visual, radar, and physical +effects. Just added to the mix, Oberg tells us, is a series of sketches that +now may shed light on the origin of the mysterious apparition as it changed +shape, color, and size. + +Today, these researchers will help Open Book move forward, joining other +serious groups across the spectrum, from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) to the +Committee for the Scientific investigation of Claims of the Paranormal +(CSICOP), who have been investigating the phenomenon for years. Thanks to our +readers, our efforts will be fueled by reports coming in at a steady pace from +around the world. With our own perspective, our own techniques, and our own +special panel, we throw our hat into the ring. We have no way of knowing what +we will find - or if we will find anything at all. We only know this: Any +story we agree to look into must provide plentiful evidence to analyze, +dissect, and explore. From our camp, without such elements as multiple +witnesses, physical traces, medical documentation, or electromagnetic effects, +you have nothing at all. + +In marking our place on the UFO map, we evoke the trajectory of our near- +namesake-the frustrated Project Blue Book -and its leader, J. Allen Hynek +himself. In the end, Hynek could mot use science to unlock the mystery of the +UFO, as he had planned. Near the end of his life, ensconced in a grand +hacienda in the heart of Arizona's Quartz Mountain, he glimpsed a geographic +wonder: a mammoth slab of rock sculpted by nature to resemble a monk kneeling +in prayer. In this gorgeous spot called Paradise Canyon, Hynek discovered +fervor in his calling. Moved more by religion than reason, more by mysticism +than science, Hynek the investigator was finally swept away. For him the dream +had come to this: "I've often said that someday, I would enjoy being snowbound +on the rocky coast of Maine," he told Omni. "I imagine myself in front of the +fireplace, keeping my friends entertained for many nights, with one +interesting UFO tale after the next. I'd enjoy being given the chance, as long +as the food held out." + +But now, at the cusp of the twentyfirst century, the busboy has come and +cleared the food away. In a sense, it's sad: Who can deny an attraction to the +stories? After all, from a literary perspective, UFO yarns can now +unequivocally take their place among the greatest ghost stories and science- +fiction stories of our time. No doubt about it, from the tragicomic plight of +the closet abductee and her frail, halfhuman "hybrid" heirs to the ominous +stalwart bureaucrat who keeps crashed saucers and alien bodies under lock and +key, magnificent UFO stories, rich in social commentary and psychological +truth, abound. The heroes of these tales, be they missing nurses or pale hybrid +children lost forever to the world of love, have become mythological symbols +for our time. We will continue to listen to their cries. But now it is also +time to move on. Kicking and screaming, we must let loose our grip on these +riveting, beloved allegories and embrace the evidence, leaving literary +conceits behind. + +On this cautious note, and in hopes of finding some answers, our +investigation begins. + + +T E A M O P E N B O O K + +MEMBERS OF OUR PANEL, LISTED BELOW, WILL HELP US TUN A PAGE IN UFO RESEARCH. +IF YOU SEND US A REPORT FOR STUDY, IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE FORWARDED TO ONE OF +THE FOLLOWING: + +PATRICK HUYGHE has been a science writer for 15 years.

Members of the False +Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) say they have an answer: Abductees weave +their strange tales based on the suggestions of overzealous therapists who may +be unaware of the new studies on hypnosis and suggestibility. In fact, say +falsememory advocates, abductees may soon start suing for malpractice like any +patient claiming abuse by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other assorted +shrinks. + +The False Memory Syndrome Foundation got its start in March 1992 in response +to the cries of parents claiming they'd been wrongly accused of sexual abuse. +Made up of both mental health professionals and family members trying to get +to the bottom of some of these charges, the group has found that while sexual +abuse is real, some claims emerge only after biased practitioners ask leading +questions during therapy, casting doubt on whether actual abuse ever occurred. + +Foundation Executive Director Pamela Freyd, who has a PH.D. in education, +admits her group does not investigate UFO abductions per say. However, she +explains, their findings suggest abductions are the product of similarly +biased practitioners who ask their clients leading questions during therapy. +"Memories are reconstructed from bits and fragments and reinterpretations; +they are not videotape," says Freyd. "In other words, hypnosis is not a +reliable tool, and memory is not a fixed thing. People can recall what they +want to recall or what they are encouraged to recall, even if the events +never occurred." + +People who are confused may be led to interpret experience in light of what +the hypnotist believes and suggests," notes Steven Lynn, an Ohio University +psychologist who studies hypnotically induced pseudomemories. "The person +becomes primed in one way or another to want to believe it," adds Concorde +University psychologist Campbell Perry. Perry, an FMSF board member in +Montreal, also suspects that abductees are highly responsive to hypnosis, have +intense imaginations, and find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. + +The scientific issues central to the false memory debate worry Toronto +therapist David Gotlib because, he notes, it means "at least some abductee +memories recalled under hypnosis may not be true." + +But Temple University historian and abduction researcher David Jacobs doesn't +know if the falsememory work is applicable to abductees at all. "first of +all," he says, "much of FMS is based on adult recollections of childhood +events, while many abductees are trying to figure out what happened to them +last week," throwing a further wrench into the works, Jacobs adds that +"abduction researchers have uncovered false memories of childhood sexual abuse +that masked the memory of the abduction itself." + +Still, Jacobs, who often hypnotizes the abductees he works with, is concerned +about lawsuits.

The MP panicked and fired five rounds from his .45 Cal into the +thing, and one round into the object above. The object then fled straight up +anjoined with eleven others high in the sky.

Our present +population is currently 17, going on 18, million. 30 years ago, if my memory +serves me correctly, it was around 11 million. Then, as now, most people live +along the coast with the greatest population density obviously being in the +cities. Racially, there are Aboriginal Australians, people of British, +European and Asian decent, with, of course, a healthy mixture of smaller +numbers of people from all over the world, but it wasn't always this way. +Previous to the late 1960 there was a racist immigration policy in place that +only allowed white people to take up residence in this country. Australians I +think are, in comparison to Americans, more cautious and reserved. On the +surface Australians may appear very happy go lucky, but overall I think we are +less inclined to get involved in things unknown, be they business ventures, or +reporting strange, abduction suggestive experiences. Having said this, the age +of those reporting abductions are across the board, racially they are usually +white, but this, no doubt, has a lot to do with the immigration history of this +country. + +As mentioned previously, our greatest difficulties are reports from remote +locations and reports long after the event. For example, one of the most +fascinating and complex UFO/abduction suggestive cases ever reported to us was +from a couple in a remote location. The case was so rich in detail, but the +couple so physically inaccessable to us, that we were investigating by +correspondence. Unfortunately, mid investigation, the couple moved suddenly +and all attempts at reestablishing contact have failed. We are not at liberty +to discuss this case for we never received clearance to do so, so I'm afraid I +can't relate any further information about it. Less complex, but equally as +compelling, was a report from an elderly couple also living in a remote +location. They were on a caravaning holiday and, late at night, on a dark +lonely road, saw a UFO suddenly large before them. Then, abruptly, they were +pulled of the road, their engine off, facing in the opposite direction. +Obviously something happened. Our Research Director's attempts at arranging an +in person meeting were never realized. So, again, confined to correspondence, +progress has been slow and difficult. Personally, I find a case, such as this, +most fascinating of all. Firstly, because the couple were awake, secondly +because they were in a very isolated spot in the dead of night, thirdly because +they saw a UFO immediately prior to experiencing missing time. As an example of +a report long after the event, there was a small goblin like creature that +entered a camping shack earlier this century in Western Australia. If my +memory serves me correctly, an elderly lady reported this encounter. It +happened when she was a teenager. Her father caught the creature in a fishing +net and ejected it from the cabin. + +With regards to the types of aliens seen. Again calling on my memory, Janet X, +in Adelaide during the 50s, was transported to an alien world by human looking +aliens in overalls. Again in South Australia, a human looking alien was seen +in the country, in the Clare area, during a period of strange phenomena in that +vicinity. Keith Basterfield has these records. Please feel free to jump in +and correct me if my memory is in error here, Keith. In 1868, in Parramatta, +New South Wales, surveyor, Fred Wm. Birmingham, "had a wonderful dream - a +vision...." during which he saw "an `Ark'" and encountered a "spirit" whom he +described as being "like a neutral tint shade and the shape of a man in his +usual frock dress." Birmingham entered the ark which he also described as "a +machine to go through the air." In the "pilot house" he "felt miserably queer +- just like one who undertaking a billet or post he knows nothing of. So I +remained for some considerable time, when I was aroused as it were from my +reverie by the voice of the spirit on my right hand, who said, `Here are some +papers for your guidance'." These papers were covered with figures and +formulae. Birmingham noted: "...Thinking the formulae and figures of other +kinds might be too intricate for my comprehension I said to the spirit - `Oh! +Will I want them?' The spirit replied slowly, but with marked emphasis, `it is +absolutely necessary that you should know these things but, you can study them +as you go on'." Among the "figures and formulae" Birminghams saw were: _ V = +550 + (500 + _/H) / The experience finished as follows: "I again cast down my +eyes between my hands as it were on the table considering silently the words of +the holy spirit and when I looked about I found I was alone in the ark! So I +fell, I suppose, into my usual sleeping state, and waking next morning deeply +impressed with that vision of the night..." This case, investigated by Bill +Chalker, is, so I understand, still under ongoing investigation by Bill. +Considering it happened in 1868, and therefore making allowances for the way +Birmingham related to the experience as per his times, I think the case +fascinatingly similar to modern day abductions. + +I draw upon articles written by Keith Basterfield, based on his investigations +and those of colleagues throughout Australia, for the following. + +Until recent times, aliens were seen unrelated to abduction as follows: + +In 1968, Smithfield NSW, a 21 year old machinist walking home from work, saw, +whilst crossing a small park, upon looking up, a very unusual object in the sky +which was very close to him - estimated at 200-500 feet away. The witness ran +quickly home and got out his telescope and, looking through it, saw the object. +It was saucer shaped. On the top half there was a squarish window at which +stood a blackish figure silhouetted by yellow light with both arms outstretched +on the window sill. On the underneath of the craft were blue and orange +pulsating lights rotating in an anti-clockwise direction. (Note: a photo +unrelated to the above, but seemingly of a person standing looking out of a +window on board a UFO, was taking in Alberton, South Australia, in May/June +1967.) + +The following, related by the wife of the percipient, after his death, happened +in 1968 in Wynyard, Tasmania. Early one morning the witness arose and went +outside. Visible over the nearby Table Cape was a hovering greyish shape which +he described as a "zeppelin" (suggestive of a cigar) shaped airship. There +seemed to be windows along the "airship" and it moved as if there were people +moving around inside. + +In 1974, on the road between St Helens and Ansons Bay, in NE Tasmania, an +Ansons Bay resident, driving home from St Helens, stopped to light a cigarette +when she happened to notice an object in a nearby paddock at ground level. +There were a number of lights around the object and "men" were observed going +up and down a ramp which lead into it. + +In 1976, a 17 year old youth, in Daw Park, Sth Aust, whose radio began giving +off static at the same time his dog began barking, went to investigate. Through +a window, looking on to the back lawn, he saw a figure which seemed humanoid +and which was dressed in a silver suit, white boots, and wore a visor-like +object over its head. On the entity's chest was a 30 by 30 centimeter box with +a symbol, like a vertical figure of eight, on it. The figure was 165-175 cm +tall with normal arm and leg proportions. His suit appeared to be all in one +piece. + +In an isolated part of Belmont North, a suburb of Newcasle, NSW, not far from +the cliffs overlooking the occean, one night in August 1966, a woman was +awakened by a buzzing sound. Upon opening her eyes, she saw a bright light +shining in through her bedroom window. Curious, she got up to look and saw, +not more that 15-25 meters away, in the space between her backyard and th +cliffs, a round object, like a large musical top, sitting right in the paddock +beside her home. The woman called to her son, but got no response. She then +noticed movement in her garden below, and was shocked to see a person walking +towards the house and lookking at the ground, as if searching for something. +When the being was only about 3 meters away, the woman quickly shut the window. +The noise caused the visitor to glance up at her and quickly retreat towards a +45 cm high side fence. The entity reached the fence and stepped over, but +continued watching the witness. She rushed and got her son. Together they +sped to the window but found both the entitiy and the object gone. All that +could be seen was bright glowing spot, much larger than a star, about 1.6 km +away. + +The object seen in the paddock was a very large top shape with a light, similar +to a car's headlight, on its apex. The light rotated and projected a +yellowish-white beam which illuminated the paddock, house and garden, as it +swept around. The object itself glowed red and gold and showed a surface +pattern like that of a camouflaged tank. It gave out a continuous low pitched +buzzing sound. The whole structure was about 5 meters across and 1.3 meters +high. A 35 cm lighted strip ran around the object and looked like a panoramic +window. There were no supports, landing gear or other protrusions. + +The being was described as 105-120 cm tall with body proportions normal by our +standards. Its mannerisms and appearance were also normal. The entitiy seemed +to be dressed in an olive-green, skin tight, suit of dull material. The suit, +which lacked fastenings, had a helmet of the same material with a face plate of +a non-transparent, orange colored, plastic-like substance. The being's hand +were not celarly seen, but appeared to be covered with gloves of olive-green +colour. The boots were white-gray and looked like basketball shoes. + +The whole experience lasted around 15 minutes. + +In the Waimata Valley, New Zealand, Decemebr 2, 1977, a farmer was awoken by +his dog barking and, upon investigation, saw a landed "flying saucer" on the +ground. Two humanoids were carrying one of his dogs between them and moving +towards the object. They were 143 cm tall and wore close fitting, metallic +silver overalls and white, opaque helmets. These overalls were gathered at the +ankles with elastic cuffs wich extended over red glowing boots. On the +entities' hands were large silver gauntlets with flared arm coverings extending +half way up the forearms. The white helmets were rounded like large motorcycle +helmets and extended from shoulder to shoulder without any markings or +openings. Alarmed my this sight, the farmer fired a shot and apparently winged +one of the entities for the two beings dropped the dog and the wounded one ran +off into some nearby bushes while the other ran into the craft which took off +at speed. + +Also from New Zealand, but stranger, is the August 1944 or 1945 sighting of a +UFO and its occupants. Originally investigated by Bruce Harding. I call upon +an article by Harold J. Knapman to relate the following: +Mrs C, a nursing sister at Cashmere Sanitorium, went, on her day, off for a +solitary walk around the hills at the back of the Sanitorium. Walking amongst +low hilly slopes, with hill scrub, Mrs C encountered an "upturned saucer" +sitting on a gentle slope. The UFO was on a rise and the witness felt that, +although it was "very close to the road," it would have been hidden from the +road by the slight rise. Despite being alone, Mrs C walked quietly over +towards the object and stopped and stared at it for about 8 to 10 minutes. +Thinking it a gimmick from the fair, and seeing "occupants" no more than 4 feet +tall, she thought it must be a Japanese device. The "little fellas" she saw +were inside transparent cases. One was standing outside and another in the +"doorway window," whilst Mrs C could also see the top of a helmet in the +"window." She thought the trio were watching the fair and looking at the city +lights as they were coming on (it was late afternoon). The occupant outside +the craft had no helmet on and was just a green-colored entity, in a +transparent oblong, who was not bending over or doing anything in particular - +just standing there. Inquisitively Mrs C advanced to within 18 feet of the +object, but stood on something and made a slight noise. The entity outside +spotted her. His helmet flipped over automatically and he drifted into the +vehicle. It intrigued Mrs C that he had no arms with which to pull the helmet +down and did not step up into the door opening, just drifted in. "He slid +straight into the very small opening," which quickly closed sideways, like a +sliding door. Mrs C noticed that the entities "had quite big heads" in +proportion to their bodies - nearly almost half body height. The object, was +constructed of what seemed to be tiles that fitted together perfectly. They +were laid vertically, "long way up - they were tall." The tiles were about 11 +to 16 inches high and approximately 8 to 10 inches across. They were light +brown in color and had a veneered, wood-grained appearance. The craft was 18 +to 20 feet across and 8-9 feet tall, with a metal circle on top that was not a +shining aluminium but just "kind of plain, ordinary, aluminium." It looked +metallic and seemed like a protective cover that fitted like a glove. Then, on +top of the turret, there was a mast-like projection "as long as your arm." It +was cylindrical, like a piece of 4 inch pipe. On top of that was a mushroom- +shaped, aluminium colored, "cap." This projection and cap arrangement was +approximately 18 inches to 2 feet high. Midway along the mast, a blue light +shone steadily prior to "lift-off." The base of the object was absolutely +flat, dark brown in color, with no lights or markings. +Once the occupants were safely inside, the blue light shone and a wirring noise +commenced. The craft slowly rose vertically into the cloud and could be seen +climbing for a couple of minutes. + +Also reported from New Zealand is the case of an elderly woman who at 6.15 p.m +on July 11, 1981, whilst stopping on her son's property, retired early to bed. +However, upon entering her bedroom, she saw a very bright light shining through +the window. Investigating this, she saw a football shaped object in an +adjacent paddock which was approximately the size of a compact car. The object +which glowed and pulsed, had a light on its lower half which was as bright as a +searchlight. Two entities were clearly visible within the craft. One appeared +to be piloting from a clear "glass" cabin in the nose whilst the other was +standing in a central "glass" tube which extended beyond the top of the craft. +This being was using an instrument which resembled a telephone. Both entities +were dressed in gray coveralls, had white skin and no hair. The object emitted +neither sound nor smell and was approximately 80 meters from the witness. A +second smaller object was also visible in the distance. The witness called her +son, who, coming to the window, observed the object for about 6 minutes before +telling his mother to go to bed and tell no-one what she had seen. Unable to +sleep, the woman watched the objects for the next 8 hours as they maneuvered +about the fields and sky, decended, hovered, changed direciton, ascended, even +vibrated, in a random manner, performing many maneuvers at great speed. +Eventually they were lost to sight as they ascended "straight up." The objects +were viewed on a clear cloudless night and did not leave a discerbible physical +trace. + +With the exception of the 1868 Birmingham case which does seem suggestive of +the modern day abduction scenario, sightings of entities up until the modern +abduction era have been a mixed bag. Nevertheless, its interesting that aliens +were seen adjacent to craft and as well as in them. Their only interest, +apparently, was to observe or to seek something unrelated to human affairs, +except in the case of the attempted dog napping. They displayed a tendency to +cut and run, although I'll include an interesting exception here. Bill Chalker +came across an anecdote, handed down within a farming family, of an incident +alleged to have happened in 1893 in central New South Wales. A farmer claimed +that a saucer-shaped aerial object landed in a paddock on his property. As he +approached the object, a man in strange clothing emerged from it. The farmer +walked towards the being - perhaps making some sort of threatening gesture - +and the stranger shone some kind of "torch" at him. The farmer was thrown to +the ground and stunned. When he regained consciousness, the man and the object +had gone. His hand, where the "torch" beam had hit, was alledgedly paralysed +for life. + +Now to the modern day abduction era in Australia: + +In 1984 Mark Moravec investigated the experiences of a then 21 year old man. +The incident took place in 1974 when, aged 11, the percipient accompanied a 19 +year old friend spotlighting (hunting at night) on a 40 hectare property +several kilometers from Jindabyn in the Snowy Mountains region of New South +Wales. At about 9 p.m. the 11 year old and his friend spotted a bright white +spherical light on the ground about 800 metres away. The light appeared to be +constant and was estimated to be about 3 meters across and twice the apparent +size of the full moon. Although the light was bright, it did not appear to +cast much light about it. The light was observed for approximately half an +hour. The following night, about 8 p.m., in company with several other +friends, they saw the inexplicable stationary light again. About 9 years +later, the percipient began having vivid memories of the first evenings +sighting. He realized that they had taken about 2 hours to walk only one +kilometer. Over a period of approximately 6 months the percipient experienced +vivid images but felt that this was material he was not supposed to recall. The +percipient related: "I saw myself and my friend approach the light but we +weren't walking. We were wrapped in a blue light ourselves. We floated in a +door way into a complex room of tubes and benches etc. We were laid on a +table. All the while tall thin beings with arms and legs - long fingers (no +joints) smooth grey skin and smooth noseless faces watched and kind of squirmed +(like when we are waiting in a queue). The room was grey blue (they were light +grey) and a bluish light seemed to emanate from the corners of the walls and +ceilings. The room was cramped and square... The beings had just enough room +to get in between us and around us. They had cream overhead lights to look at +us with. We lay there and could see them lean over us. They hooked up wires +to our skin and seemed to be able to pull our clothes open without tearing +them. They seemed very busy at the time and often would look at each other and +pass instruments from one another. As far as I could interpret they were +gauging how electromagnetic fields related to my body and the atmosphere. I +remember my friend (older than I) tried to resist (he `came round') but they +took him away only to return him. His eyes were sunken, he was pale and very +cooperative. (He passed out once he layed down.) The tests went on for some +time and after literally hundreds of wires had been connected they just took +them off, closed up my clotes and left us both. We were not afraid but were +not really conscious either. They put us back where we had first seen them and +that was that. Two hours had passed since the walk, we had went for about 3 +hours... I remember that we regained consciousness after walking across a +ridge and spot lighting a horse." + +Keith Basterfield investigated the following case, but had difficulty +contacting the two percipients for follow up, so details are still sketchy. + +On October 24, 1981, two young men, travelling from Broken Hill to Port +Lincoln, left Adelaide (Sth Aust) at about 8 a.m., but had car trouble which +slowed them down, consequently they reached Whyalla around 9.30-10 p.m. Because +the town had shut down for the night, they decided to continue on. A few +minutes outside of Whyalla a blue "flare" was seen lighting the sky to the +south east. The men stopped and both saw a second light shoot out from beneath +the first. This second light moved around and flew up and down gullies and +hills before stopping in one particular gully. + +The witnesses watched for a while before setting off again. Both talked about +what they had seen. Shortly, one of the percipients felt like stopping again +and says what happened next is hard to explain. He recalls "drifing off" into +a white endless space. A "thing" walked up the road and stopped in front of +him. All he could see was part of an entity or figure which looked like it +wore an ancient Roman suit. It stood for a while before vanishing. Waking up, +the percipient sat quietly until eventually his companion asked, "What +happened?" It was near daylight! (What had happened during the 6-7 missing +hours?) The man related that he felt like he had not slept for a week. His +companion apparently recalls walking into a big white room and also has vague +recollections of an entity seen as an outline standing some 15 meteres from the +car. + +The point at which abductions changed from being missing time events in +isolated locations which happened to people while awake to being bedroom +abductions of the oftentimes sleeping is hard to pinpoint. It is interesting to +note that we see small aliens in old non-abduction sightings, whereas in +Jidabyn we see tall thin gray aliens. In none of the cases so far, have we +seen the use of telepathy, although there is the suggestion of telepathic +communcication between the aliens in the Jindabyne case. + +I'll note for interest here, a non-abdcution, bedroom visitation that happened +on April 12, 1989, at 0025 hrs. Mrs H was aware of lying on her back in bed, +looking at the ceiling, with her right hand under her head. Suddenly a strange +noise, unlike anything she has ever encountered, started. It was very high +pitched, loud and continuous. The noise covered up the sound of her husband's +snoring, plus all the external noises. She turned to her right (couldn't say +why). On the right side of the bed there was a night table about 40 cm tall, +then a wall. On the table was a cup with a little tea in it, a wedding +picture, an alarm clock and a box with her gold earings in it. She became +afraid and although she felt she could move if she wished, she chose not to do +so. By the table there was an entitiy estimated at 60-70 cm tall. It was +semi-transparent, "like looking through a curtain." All around the body +boundary was a pinkish color. She noted it wore a bright neon green belt - a +green ring (no buckle etc.). It was holding her tea cup and looking into it. +The entity replaced it on the table. The woman looked to the head but was +unable to decribe it. She couldn't describe the hands either. The being moved +as if in slow motion. The entity picked up the small box with the earrings but +didn't open it. Frightened, the witness moved. The entity replaced the box, +touched its belt and disappeared. The noise stopped immediately. It was 0029 +hrs. + +In the last few years, we have been encountering your classic gray abductors +and the Australian experience, at this point in time, does seem to be +parallelling the U.S. experience. That is, bedroom abductions, implants etc. +There is attendant paranormal phenomena and so these cases are, in fact, more +complex than the abductions related here. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Don Ecker...UFOs Tonite on Cable Radio Network + ...... Dr. Richard Boylan +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ +Don Ecker : Tonight, we're going to be taking a look at something that we've +discussed a number of times before on "UFOs Tonite." We are going to be +talking about "alien encounters, alien abductions," is it real? Are people +genuinely taking a close look at it? Is there something here, or are +literally tens and tens of thousands of people all over the United States, +mistaken? Is it a new type of psychosis? What exactly is going on out +there? You've seen recently a movie "Fire in the Sky" the Travis Walton +story and we've had Travis on this broadcast. We've had Budd Hopkins on +this broadcast. We've had Evonne Smith (sp?) of Cerro. We've had Dr. Dave +Jacobs. All speaking about the idea of "encounters" or as many people call +them "abductions," but hold on not everyone considers the UFO encounter or +abduction to be necessarily something other than benign or good. Tonight's +guest I have on hand Dr. Richard J. Boylan PhD who is a psychologist. He +received his PhD in 1984 in psychology and I believe it was 1989 he became a +licensed psychologist. He started an interest in UFOs all the way back in +1947, when the subject about "anomalous objects" first hit the airwaves +nationwide and ultimately around the world. Today he is recognized as one of +the better well known names in this field of encounters, physical encounters, +people that have claimed to have had actual first hand experience with people +from somewhere else, and I would like to welcome Dr. Richard Boylan on the +air. Good evening Richard, it's a pleasure to have you here. + +>Dr. Boylan : Good evening Don, I'm happy to be with you. + +Don Ecker : Ok! You've just recently finished a book that's coming out in +the near future from "Wild Flower Press" called "Close Extraterrestrial +Encounters". Now you are in the... you are a licensed psychologist, you've +practiced with people with marital problems, people that have experienced +anything that might come to see a psychologist, but yet you suddenly kind of +jumped off track from the mainstream, what many people in the mental health +community considered to be some type of psychosis, and I guess the big +question would be, what caused that? What was it about this particular +subject that caught your fancy and caused you to believe that there might +in fact be something very real here? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well Don, what started for me interest in extraterrestrial +>contact, as you said I've always been interested in UFO's since I was a +>small boy and followed the stories, but extraterrestrial contact I had kind +>of a guarded feeling for. I was not overly impressed by some of the +>contactee stories in the 1950's coming out of southern California and some +>other places. So I kept kind of a skeptical eye towards that side of the +>phenomenon, but around 1989 as I was counseling a wide variety of people, my +>private practice was psychology, psychotherapy. Three or four people that +>year started to come forward as we were working on other material. They came +>in for very garden variety types of problems, anxiety, depression, +>relationship problems that sort of thing, but as we got into earlier in +>their life, after we got counseling for some months. One and then another +>would kind of sheepishly come forward with this, "well you're not probably +>going to believe this, but you probably ought to know that when I was a kid +>these little beings were in my bedroom one night", you know. At first I was +>pretty startled by that stuff. I had dismissed it in the UFO literature for +>many years, but here it was people I had come to know and knew that they may +>have a little of life's problems, but they were perfectly sane and +>trustworthy people, talking about this phenomenon. At first I didn't know +>quite what to do about it. I remembered that Leo Sprinkle a Wyoming +>psychologist had been working with this material for some time. + +Don Ecker : Leo from the University of Wyoming? + +>Dr. Boylan : Right! So I looked over what he had said and then about that +>same year, Dr. Edith Fioria (sp?) a psychologist down in the south bay area +>of California... Saratoga, who's in private practice there came out with a +>book "Encounters" in which she talked about a number of people in her +>practice that were revealing stories of this kind and I looked at her +>approach. I mulled these things over and finally at the end of 1991 I +>decided, hey! you know I'm trained as a research scientist. Wouldn't this +>make one heck of a research project? So I... January of 92 I started +>putting announcements in a couple of the local publications saying that as +>epithetic psychologist if you've had an extraterrestrial encounter I would +>be happy to talk to you and try and be understanding, and boy! they came +>forward. (laughs) + +Don Ecker : How have your peers in the field reacted to what you are doing +now? Have you suffered, you know have you suffered criticism as a result of +this? Have they been saying that Richard Boylan has gone over the edge? + +>Dr. Boylan : Uh, not really. Most of my fellow psychotherapist, they run +>about the same spectrum as the rest of humanity. A lot of them don't +>believe the evidence for this stuff exist and so they are skeptics. Some +>believe that this stuff is going on and so they're on-board, and there are +>some in the middle that are kind of unsure of themselves. I've had some +>people keep their distance from me because they fear that they don't want to +>be associated with somebody who's into to these weird topics, but by and +>large the relationships I've had among fellow therapist continue as before. + +Don Ecker : Well up to this point Richard now since you have begun to take +a very in depth look at this phenomenon. How many folks have you dealt with +on a professional level? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, as part of this research project interviewing people +>specifically in some depth about their extraterrestrial contacts. I'm up +>to about ninety-eight folks now. + +Don Ecker : Have you discovered any of these people that may have +manufactured these close encounters... In other words has there been +anybody in there that has been delusional or has actively attempted to +perpetuate a hoax that you've uncovered? + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah, there are several kinds of false stories that have +>emerged. There's a few delusionals maybe about two percent of the +>population and frankly are, you know, this is part of a mental illness in +>this story, and then there's some folks who for their own reasons, attention +>seeking, etc, have produced stories that I don't see the evidence for and +>there's some pretty clear indications that they are making this stuff up... + +Don Ecker : Well, now people like, oh I'm sorry. + +>Dr. Boylan : and then there's a third category of what appeared to me +>in my opinion to be plants from "military and intelligence," who were coming +>in trying to muddy-up what I'm doing by planting preposterous stories with +>me hoping I'll bite on them, and announce them, and sound so absolutely +>goofy that my research will not be taken seriously. + +Don Ecker : Well, people like Hopkins have kept information back from the +main stream. Have neither written about it nor shown, what they consider to +be definitive evidence from some of the people they've worked with and what +I'm talking about primarily are people that have recalled symbols that +apparently are some type of writing or hieroglyphic type symbol that they've +seen allegedly while on board these objects. Now do you have anything +yourself that you hold back to verify people when they come in? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I wouldn't say I hold it back, you know obviously I'm a +>professional. So people working with me are operating with an understanding +>that what they say is kept confidential, and only they can decide what to +>release and how much. As part of our getting into these experiences, and in +>some occasions people have done drawings of either the beings that they've +>dealt with, or symbols they've seen on the walls of spacecraft, or in +>screens or books that have been presented to them by extraterrestrials. I +>do certain comparisons, not... I don't have a checklist of alien symbols +>that, you know, if you don't recognize these you're bogus get out of here, +>but I have had some interesting things happen, for example. Two separate +>gentlemen who come from quite different geographical locations and very +>different stations in life, and wouldn't know each other at all. Both +>drew almost the same identical complex symbol that they had seen during an +>extraterrestrial encounter, and I almost dropped out of my chair when I saw +>it the second time, because first time you know, you figure well, yeah that +>was real, maybe he saw this, there's always a slight possibility that he +>didn't, but when the second guy came up with the same one, I figured Woh!, +>we've gotten something here. + +Don Ecker : OK! We're going to have to take a quick break, when we come +back we're going to rejoin my guest Dr. Richard Boylan a licensed +psychologist who is specializing in alleged abduction or encounter things. +We're going to be right back. {:^) Ok! We are back! My guest this evening +is Dr. Richard Boylan and if you'd like to call in with a question for Dr. +Boylan or myself and you're in the 818, 213, or 310 area codes you can call +us at 818-352-7152, if you're outside of those areas you can call us toll +free at 800-336-2225, that's 1-800-336-CABLE. Ok Richard, now about oh... +I guess it wasn't quite a year ago myself and Vicki Cooper the editor of UFO +magazine attended a symposium that was held in Berkeley, and you were a part +of that along with Leo Sprinkle, John Salter, Dick Haynes, I'm trying to +think of who else was... + +>Dr. Boylan : Jim Harder was there. + +Don Ecker : Yeah, Jim Harder was there that's right, and one thing that I +noticed during the course of this particular symposium was that the overall +view not only from the folks that were there giving the lectures, yourself +and these other folks that we just mentioned, but the overall audience felt +that this phenomenon at worst is benign, and at very best is beneficial for +humanity, and I noticed at the very end of the symposium, and I wanted to get +up and ask some very hard questions and unfortunately they were not taking +live questions. They were only taking questions on three by five cards and +then the moderator would pick them. Number one I wanted to find out. Did +these folks fear taking live questions, and number two is that accurate, that +not only they, but you feel that this is a very benign or even a beneficent +phenomenon? + +>Dr. Boylan: Well, two questions there. First of all, I don't know why they +>did the index card question format. I had no reluctance to handle live +>questions. I've done that in a number of settings and I'd suspect that's +>true of most of the people you've mentioned. I think it was just a way of +>trying to manage a lot of folks in a big auditorium. As to the phenomenon +>itself. I think probably safest if I speak for myself, and not the other +>gentlemen you mentioned, but I would say this. For most people that I've +>dealt with it seems to go, that at first it's very scary uncertain shaking +>kind of an experience for a person. There's no precedent for it. Society +>says the stuff doesn't exist, if you try and say that it does you're crazy, +>and then as people walk into their experience and get a little help +>understanding what's going on and see what actually went on instead of the +>partial memories they often have when they come out of an encounter before +>they've been worked with professionally. When they get actually into the +>full experience and get a little perspective on it, but I generally find and +>there are some exceptions that, people feel that this is a overall been a +>positive stimulation in their lives, it's challenged them, it's caused them +>to rethink where they fit in the world, their understanding of the world, +>and depending on a persons personal makeup some people feel that they've had a + +>a substantial consciousness-raising experience. + +Don Ecker : Well, now I will never forget Leo Sprinkle standing before that +auditorium and he used an analogy, and he referred to the people that have +undergone this experience as sheep, and he referred to the intelligence +behind the UFO phenomenon itself as a shepherd, and he referred to the little +gray entities that many people report as the sheep dogs nipping at the heels, +and I was thoroughly outraged by that. Now I'm certainly no abduction +therapist nor have I specialized in that particular aspect of the overall +phenomenon, but I have spoken to many many people through out the years that +have undergone this, and I have yet to speak to anyone that would genuinely +accept this as a beneficent thing. The analogy that I always hear or +variations there of are. Friends don't come in the middle of the night +sneaking through your bedroom window, tying you up, abducting you, carrying +you off, doing things to you, then bringing you back unceremoniously and +dumping you off. How do you respond to that? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well my research has been quite different. The numbers I've +>come up with are two-thirds the people say it's positive. About almost +>another third say it's mixed got some positive and some heroizing or down +>side aspects to it. Only a tiny fraction last time I did an analysis +>statistically about two percent said, no there's not a redeeming feature +>to it I wish it'd never happened. + +Don Ecker : Well, what in your opinion have caused these people to accept +or the majority of the people that you have worked with to accept this +particular aspect of the overall UFO phenomenon in a positive light? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I think I would say this without offending too many +>people. I think the kind of way a person tends to interpret and size up +>their experience, has not a little to do with, who gets to them, who works +>with them, and what kind of attitudes the person working with them has. If +>the person working with them already has a negative or terroristic mind-set +>about what extraterrestrial contacts are about, they're going to communicate +>that in very obvious or very suttle ways, that are going to be picked up on +>by the person they're dealing with. Very many experiences have not been +>dealt with by mental health professionals, but well meaning amateurs in the +>psychological sense who tried to be helpful, but really didn't have the +>professional understanding of how the human mind works under extraordinary +>circumstances, and may not have been as helpful as could have otherwise been +>the case. + +Don Ecker : OK, we're going to have to take another very quick break and when +we come back more on the overall UFO experience encounter. {:^) We are back +to my guest Dr. Richard Boylan. Ok Richard as a matter of fact speaking of +UFO magazine, you wrote a number of issues ago an article on a I believe you +referred to it as a tour through the southwest going around to some of these +areas that have achieved almost a legendary status in the UFO field, places +like "Area 51" down in Nevada where allegedly the U.S. Air Force or some +faction of the U.S. government has recovered alien technology. What caused +you to do that? I mean that's kind of a far cry from your normal from your +normal business of working with people that have undergone some type of +experience. + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah, well my general professional practice is a broad based +>psychological issues. Working with experiencers is only a small subdivision +>of that, but your point is well taken. Why would a clinical psychologist +>take a week and a half off from his practice, and go out in the desert of +>Nevada and New Mexico, and check out bases that are ultra-secret and are in +>some cases not supposed to exist? Well the reason I did that is, I did +>this grand tour as I call it between April 9 and 15th of 1992. At that +>point I'd been about three or four months into my research project, and +>they'd come up with a number of people who had come forward and were +>reporting extraterrestrial contact, and this was challenging to them about +>what they were remembering was true and it was challenging to me. I had to +>find that most of these people made sense and seemed sane and truthful, and +>yet the enormity of what was starting to pile up in all of these accounts +>really shook me, and I decided well now if I go out and see for myself some +>UFO activity, and some of this "cloak and dagger" stuff that's supposed to +>be going on that indicates that the government darn well knows this stuffs +>going on and is keeping it out of sight. Then I don't have to so much just +>operate on the word of people who say they've had extraterrestrial contact. +>I can see some of this stuff with my on two eyes, and I'll be in a much more +>solid place, and I'll be much more useful to people that come in after this +>because I'll be operating from information and not from just belief. + +Don Ecker : Well, are you convinced at this point that there is in fact a +"covert" governmental operation of some type involved with this phenomenon? + +>Dr. Boylan : I think the evidence for that is overwhelming from what I've +>seen and read, what others have researched, seen, and come up with. + +Don Ecker : And you know there are certain factions within the... Well I +don't want to say the "fringe" area of UFOlogy, but I guess perhaps that's +the best way to describe it. That think, even though there is no proof +whatsoever, that there are elements of the government that have formed some +type of treaty with these intelligences. Do you give any credence to that? + +>Dr. Boylan : I don't have information that could prove that one way or +>the other. There are some accounts from people interviewed, who seem +>pretty believable that there are some underground facilities where +>extraterrestrials and governmental or human scientists have been jointly +>spotted, but you know I haven't been there myself, so that's still in the +>area of it looks like it's evidence, but we could certainly enjoy a little +>harder evidence, but I've seen UFOs myself, so that's not in the realm of +>speculation. I'm an eye witness there. + +Don Ecker : OK, we're going to have to take our half-hour break and when we +come back more with my guest Dr. Richard Boylan . This is Don Ecker, the +show is UFO's Tonite and you are listening to the Cable Radio Network. {:^) + +Don Ecker : And we are back, with my guest Dr. Richard Boylan. Ok Richard +you've been out to some of these areas and you told me just a few moments ago +that you had some sightings of some "strange craft" out there, but before we +go to that let me ask you a question. With your basic overall view that the +encounter phenomenon is not bad and very well maybe good, but yet you think +that there could perhaps be some of these intelligences working with factions +within the government. If in fact they are good, then number one why are +they not announcing themselves and why has our government not announced their +presence? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, the answer to that first question would be speculative. +>I don't know their reasons. I can have some educated surmises based on what +>I've heard from experiencers who have had dialog with the extraterrestrials, +>and as for the government I think it's pretty clear that there's a massive +>"cover-up" going up. I think you know asking the government why it's not +>coming clean with us is a very good question we should all be doing, and I +>think as that pressure builds the government is going to have to start to be +>more forthcoming with some answers back. As to the extraterrestrials it +>appears that there is some sensitivity on their part that we're not ready +>for a wide open manifestation or have not been anyway. The apparent game +>plan has been for the extraterrestrials to try and work with the leadership +>within our country, in the quiet bases with top government, and the +>governments booted it pretty much over to the military intelligence +>establishment to handle and to keep undercover, but with the idea that the +>population would be prepared gradually for the reality of extraterrestrial +>presence, well as you and I know the government has done just about zero on +>that score of preparing the people for the reality of UFOs and +>extraterrestrial presence among us. + +Don Ecker : But nevertheless, over the last twenty-five to thirty years if +nothing else Hollywood has prepared us for that. + +>Dr. Boylan : Oh, Hollywood has done a much better job than the government. + +Don Ecker : Starting for example with the original "Star Trek" series. + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah (laughs) + +Don Ecker : Well, which was a very positive look at encounters off earth, I +mean with alien cultures. One of the most popular mythological heroes for +the want of a better term throughout the entire planet is "Mr. Spock" who is +a half human half alien from another planet, and you know he was universally +I think loved almost by practically everybody that watched the series. + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah well, Hollywood feeds us back mass culture and mass +>consciousness, and you know there's been a lot of opinion poles that have +>asked people whether they believe in UFOs and the majority of the United +>States citizens think that UFOs are real. The government's lagging way +>behind the people once again in being on top of this phenomenon. What +>appears to be going on now with this escalation in extraterrestrial +>contacts, is it appears that the extraterrestrials have borrowed a page from +>Ross Perot's campaign, and have decided to take their campaign directly to +>the people and go around the government directly to the people, and so +>there's been apparently an escalation of extraterrestrial contacts based on +>some of the work the "Roper pole" (sp?) and other researchers calculations +>and my own work. I would estimate that there's probably three thousand +>extraterrestrial contacts going on a day in the United States. Obviously at +>that volume we're not talking about a phenomena that's staying very well +>hidden. Just a couple of weeks ago there was a Sunday magazine supplement +>in many of the major papers in the United States with alien abductions as +>their front page cover story, with a Harvard psychiatrist John Mack and +>others featured dealing with this straight up as a bonafide scientifically +>valid phenomenon, so you know the popular consciousness is there, it's the +>government that's got lockjaw. + +Don Ecker : All right let's go to the phone lines. We have David from Venice +on Continental Cable. Good evening David. + +-!- David : Hello + +Don Ecker : Are you there? + +-!- David : Yeah, how ya doing? + +Don Ecker : Fine, did you have a question for my quest? + +-!- David : Yeah, I got a couple of questions, but the first question I got +-!- is of all the people that you've investigated or talked to about +-!- abductions has any of them ever been on any kind of drugs like, you know +-!- rock cocaine or mushrooms or anything like that? + +Don Ecker : Are you talking about the people themselves that have undergone +these experiences? + +-!- David : Yes sir, I want to know whether or not if they've been on any +-!- kind of drugs or... + +Don Ecker : Richard + +>Dr. Boylan : Well David, let me be clear about your question, are you +>talking about taking drugs at the time that they also feel they had an +>extraterrestrial experience? + +-!- David : Yes sir + +>Dr. Boylan : Oh, I've not detected any such set of circumstances. I +>carefully check with people you know, you had anything to drink that night +>or you know, any drug use and make sure that's negatives, so that we're not +>dealing with hallucinations. It would be real convenient if that's all this +>was, but doesn't seem to be that's what's going on. + +Don Ecker : Yeah, and besides Richard is it not true that most people that +end up having conscious recollections of this actually have experiences that +go back almost to their very early childhood? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, for some people yes and some people no. I would say the +>majority of people I've researched have had multiple contacts going back a +>ways in their life in some cases back to very early childhood. + +Don Ecker : Does that answer your question David? + +-!- David : Yeah, and I have another question Don. Ok, what about like the +-!- government you know, during I know during the Vietnam war they did "agent +-!- orange". What about the government doing any kind of flying over areas +-!- where people thought maybe they had some kind of experience, anything +-!- like that ? + +Don Ecker : Well, there's no way of telling, although this is not local just +to the United States or to any geographical area. This literally has been +reported worldwide, and with the numbers of people that have undergone this. +I would find it pretty hard to believe that it was some type of chemically +induced phenomena that would be as universal as it is. Would you agree with +that Richard ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah, we're talking about people very widely scattered, and +>other researchers are coming up with the same findings I am. People from +>all parts of the region, all walks of life, all ages. If the government +>were out there spraying some "mind bending" chemical, you know you'd be +>hearing choppers all night long whipping around, because there's a lot of +>this activity of encounters being reported. + +Don Ecker : All right, well thank you for your call David and keep listening. +Ok Richard, with this particular phenomenon I've got to get back to something +that I had asked you earlier. Friends do not come in the middle of the night +unannounced at two or three or four o-clock in the morning. Many people have +been absolutely traumatized by this, and I have spoken to more people that +feel a sense of fear or urgency, than they do a feeling of happiness +undergoing this. Most people are not asked their permission, the reports +that are coming out state that in many cases these individuals are at home in +bed asleep, suddenly they're confronted with this presence, now according to +the published reports they're taken in many many cases against their will, +they have some type of procedure performed on them. Now this has come out +not only consciously, but of course under hypnosis. There have been reports +of women alleging that they've had within the first trimester a fetus +removed. Men have reported having involuntary extraction of sperm from them +and then they're unceremoniously dumped back in their house. Now I, perhaps +I'm missing something, but I see nothing good in this especially when you +consider that the human race is in fact a sentient intelligent race even +though you may turn on the news every night and that may give lie to what I +just said, but you know how can you take a look at this and state that you +feel that this is in fact beneficent for the people involved? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, the scenario you describe is not a typical scenario that +>I've come up with as the research that I've come into. I think that's sort +>of the stereotype that's broadcast by... + +Don Ecker : You mean you're telling me, that the majority of people that you +have worked with have a different type of experience than that ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, there are elements that are similar in some cases and +>elements that are different, but that stereotype I think is overdrawn and I +>don't find validation for that as the average standard experience. + +Don Ecker : Ok, now in that case, what have you been finding out, what have +you been uncovering that suggests to you that this is for the furtherment I +guess of humanity and if in fact that's what you are suggesting, why would +these intelligences be concerned about that ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, good question. I guess if I were going to make a overall +>characterization about extraterrestrial contacts, and that's a dangerous +>thing to do. I would say that the contacts are in "involuntary consciousness +>raising exercise". I'm not suggesting that people perceive the +>extraterrestrials when they first visit them as friends, that connection for +>a number of people develops later. At first it's obviously baffling, scary, +>without precedent. + +Don Ecker : Well, let me interrupt for just a second. When you say perceive +them as friends and that comes later, friends in what way and in which +manner? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, recognizing fellow intelligent life, recognizing someone +>who has their interest and a personal concern for them at heart, who exudes +>a great deal of caring and warmth in many cases, and keeps track of them +>from time to time and on a repeat visit there's a sense of an old familiar +>person that many of the experiencers say they're glad to see it come back. +>I realize this doesn't fit the stereotype that's some of the authors have +>put out there, but you know some of the literature. I think it David Jacobs +>book for example, which tends to depict things in the more awful kind of +>sense, but I've heard and talked with you know John Mack, John Carpenter, +>Leo Sprinkle, Jim Harder and others and I get a sense that what I'm talking +>about is not that uncommon in their findings too, once you get past the +>rhetoric and get down to the reality of what actually is happening to +>people. + +Don Ecker: My guest this evening is Dr. Richard Boylan and we're talking +about UFO experiences or abductions. Well if in fact then this is a +beneficent experience, what is the ultimate aim of what these individuals are +doing and how are they doing it? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, a number of experiencers have gotten messages and I've +>kind of put them together and there's a convergence there that suggest +>there's a kind of overall unifying theme to what the extraterrestrials are +>getting across to people they've contacted. There's a great concern for +>this planet and it's ecology and the destruction of that by humans in +>negative involvement with the ecology of the earth, there's a concern for +>interpersonal violence among humans, how we are treating each other, there's +>a concern for our excessive preoccupation with materialism and the +>extraterrestrials message is in many cases would be that we develop our +>mental and spiritual sides more and not be so concerned about only +>technological progress. These are some of the concerns, obviously many of +>the extraterrestrials are looking forward to a time when there can more open +>contact, when they can be sure that they land somewhere's somebody's not +>going to get their 357 magnum out and blow them away, when there can be a +>respectful dialog between people without the need to be as roundabout and +>surreptitious as they feel they need to be now. + +Don Ecker : Ok Richard, let me take another quick break, as a matter of fact +we've run past it here and then we have some more phone calls so standby.{:^) +And we are back with my guest Dr. Richard Boylan and let's go to the lines +Richard. I've got Vince calling from Tucson, Arizona on satellite, is that +correct ? Hello Vince. + +-!- Vince : Yeah, go ahead. + +Don Ecker : Yeah, my guest this evening is Dr. Richard Boylan, did you have a +question for him ? + +-!- Vince : Yes I did, you got cut out there I didn't hear the first part. +-!- Yeah, I do have a question. Being a psychologist with the abduction +-!- scenario could it be analogist to people who've been kidnapped and held +-!- hostage and that after a period of time they you know possibly get swayed +-!- over to the kidnapper's point of view and now all of the sudden they +-!- agree with what the kidnapper's do and... ? + +Don Ecker : That's an excellent point, that's called the "Stockholm +syndrome". How do you answer a question like that Richard? What Vince is +asking is over a period of time over a period of years people have been taken +again and again with not so much as a bye or leave, and as happens here on +planet earth sometimes when this type of situation occurs the individuals +begin to identify with their abductors and before you know it they are +siding with them against the rest of society. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, the Stockholm syndrome is based on a protracted +>kidnapping and terrorizing situation that goes... well the original +>Stockholm hostage taking I believe lasted several days, certainly a long +>period of a hours with a terrorizing and life threatening circumstances +>involved that tend to overtake a person's mind and make them more pliable to +>seeing their best interest aligned with that of their hostage taker. + +Don Ecker : Yes, but yet many many people that have undergone this experience +have stated emphatically and for the record that they had absolutely no say +so over anything, they were basically turned off, their perception was +manipulated. Now how do we know that the, for example the people that you +have dealt with that claim that this is a good thing, a happy thing that +their perception in fact is not being manipulated? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, the typical duration of an extraterrestrial contact when +>it involves leaving where the person is found and that isn't always the +>case, there are a lot of contacts where the extraterrestrials come and visit +>a person, let's say in their bedroom for example, and there's no taking away +>to a craft, that's one of the elements of the stereotype that just isn't +>right in many cases, but even where there is a removal to craft, the average +>duration is about an hour and there's no life threatening kinds of "gun to +>the head" kind of stuff, so it's too short and it lacks the life threatening +>aspects for the Stockholm syndrome. + +Don Ecker : But yet, if these intelligences and for the want of a better term +aliens, I refrain from calling them extraterrestrial because I don't for a +fact know for a fact that is in fact what they are, but they can manipulate +individuals and from many many reports over the years would seem to bare this +out, so the question I guess once again is, how do we know that what +perceptions these folks are relaying are in fact accurate? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I don't know about manipulations, I've not heard that +>reported on the folks I've dealt with. I know Dr. Jacobs would like to have +>that be the case, but I think that's his interpretation of the data and I +>don't read the data the same way. The people I've researched with are very +>capable of speaking both when they find their interests and that of the +>extraterrestrials aligned, when they find their interests separate and when +>they take exception to something that has happened to them during an +>encounter, so we're not dealing with mindless robots here or people that +>have been taken over and brainwashed by extraterrestrials and are now just +>happy playing spokespersons for the extraterrestrial line. + +Don Ecker: But do we know this? + +>Dr. Boylan : Yes + +Don Ecker : How? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I've talked with such folks after one or more encounters +>and they are able to quite well differentiate how they feel about different +>aspects of the experience, some positive, some negative, some sort of in +>between. They're not just happy campers and propaganda victims for the +>extraterrestrials. + +Don Ecker : Ok Vince, did that pretty much answer your question? + +-!- Vince : Yeah, a little bit, I do have kind of a follow up question. +-!- Wouldn't you consider the abduction scenario over, you know if somebody +-!- been abducted since they were five years old and all the way through +-!- their life until they are age forty. Isn't that kind of a long term +-!- thing, these people are always under the threat of being abducted, as +-!- much as if you'd been abducted once and held captive all the time and you +-!- know are they, you know the Stockholm scenario as you call it, doesn't +-!- that apply if some of these people have been tagged and now they are able +-!- to be abducted at anytime and against their will ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, you know it's a funny thing that with the people I've +>worked with and the other people that... October conference all the +>researchers you had mentioned, they don't like to use the term abduction, if +>that sounds like somebody put a gun to your head and walked you off. +>Contact is a much more unloaded term for that experience. The majority of +>the experiencers of close extraterrestrial encounters that I've worked with +>have come to a point of view where they don't mind future contacts and in +>many cases look forward to them. The word abduction would not fit to +>describe that, that set of mind or those kinds of contact experiences. If +>we're going to be technical about the Stockholm syndrome it doesn't come on +>just because of brief exposures without terrorism just because there's a +>number of them spaced apart by months or years. It's a kind of durational +>brainwashing experience that this phenomenon just lacks the elements of. +>It's a nice theory, but it doesn't fit the circumstances of these relatively +>brief extraterrestrial encounters. + +Don Ecker : Ok Vince, we are going to have to move along. I thank you for +your call and keep listening. Richard we're going to have to take the half +hour break and when we come back we have some more telephone calls. {:^) +And, let's go back to the phone lines, we've got Bill in Sherman Oaks. Good +evening Bill. + +-!- Bill : Hi Don, how are you? + +Don Ecker : I'm fine thank you. What cable system are you calling in on? + +-!- Bill : I believe I have United, yeah that's how the bill comes in United +-!- cable. + +Don Ecker : Ok, did you have a question for my guest? + +-!- Bill : Well, yeah Don, I just wanted to say I hope this doesn't come +-!- across as propaganda, but Richard thank God there's still a handful of +-!- you out there, I was beginning to give up here. Richard I wanted to ask +-!- you just a little about your credentials. How long have you been doing +-!- research in the extraterrestrial field? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, the research kind of came and found me about 89 and I've +>made it more of a formal project since then. I've followed the UFO +>phenomenon since 47, but the extraterrestrial contacts stuff, in terms of +>really getting into it and it hitting me in the face where I couldn't avoid +>it was 1989. + +-!- Bill : And these are by patients and clients that you were seeing at +-!- this...? + +>Dr. Boylan : Yes, for other reasons back then, of course more recently is +>I've done my formal research project with "Out Reach", I've had people come +>in explicitly because they feel they've had extraterrestrial encounters. + +-!- Bill : When did you notice and I'm going to call it negative for a lack +-!- of a better word, that this abduction element came into effect ? It +-!- appears to me within the last five years and what do you feel is the +-!- culprit behind it, do you have any thoughts on that? + +>Dr. Boylan : Let me be absolutely clear Bill, are you talking about +>abduction as a kind of negative overall characterization of the ET contact +>phenomenon? + +-!- Bill : Yes + +>Dr. Boylan : Yes? Ok, gotcha. Yes, because if you remember "Giant Rock" +>in the fifties and the contactees back then they were talking about the +>"Space Brothers" and they bring tidings of either great joy or great cosmic +>importance or earth importance and the negative... + +-!- Bill : I just visited that area last week, I'm familiar with it... + +>Dr. Boylan : I've yet to visit that, I guess I should do it on historical +>grounds, but anyway... + +-!- Bill : Interesting experience... + +>Dr. Boylan : Your right, and then there's the "Billy Meyer" kind of stuff in +>the sixties and now it's, now that you mention it, it is more recent that a +>kind of massive negative stereotypical overall image making has emerged. We +>didn't even really get that so much with the "Hills", Barney and his wife... + +Don Ecker : Well now, Richard lest we think that we are saying that they are +coming down just arbitrarily performing nasty nasty things, I don't believe +that that is it as much as, you know many people have attributed this to what +human beings do with wildlife, tagging animals and then occasionally tracking +them down shooting them with a dart, you know checking their vital signs and +what have you, and they say well if in fact this phenomenon is occurring that +it's not much different than that, but yet the point I'm trying to make is +that we are dealing today human beings are a sentient thinking spiritual +creature and whatever is occurring and I disagree with it simply from the +fact that apparently whatever is happening is happening in many cases against +the experiencers will. I could not began to tell you how many people through +the course that I've dealt with at UFO magazine and so forth, have stated +that whatever it is I don't know, but I wish it would stop. + +-!- Bill : Well, Don I've had some contacts myself and there were periods +-!- within those contacts where I had a lot of uncertainties about it just +-!- because of the experiences that had to go on with my everyday life +-!- patterns and it was a very difficult thing to comprehend, but the overall +-!- experience itself was not negative in the sense that someone came in to +-!- my bedroom in the middle of the morning and started poking needles in me +-!- or anything similar to the late movie "Fire in the Sky", I mean that was +-!- such misinterpreted hogwash that... + +Don Ecker : Well, it was something that was Hollywood-ized without a doubt... + + +-!- Bill : Yeah, but this is the effect and for the individual that's never +-!- interpreted this phenomenon in any fashion or manner sees this, this is +-!- the interpretation that they get, and I believe that just adds to the +-!- fuel of this party line until it's infiltrated to a degree until where it +-!- gets out of hand. Wouldn't you agree with that Richard to some degree? + +>Dr. Boylan : Ok Bill, my frank opinion is that the negative stereotyping is +>part of the organized cover up of the extraterrestrial presence and UFO +>presence phenomenon. + +Don Ecker : Richard, I would have to say that Budd Hopkins or David Jacobs +would disagree with that. + +>Dr. Boylan : Of course they have, we've disagreed before. I think that they +>are not interpreting the phenomenon correctly. + +Don Ecker: How do you base that ? + +>Dr. Boylan: Neither of them are psychologist, they'll be the first to admit +>that. + +Don Ecker : Yep, that is correct, your absolutely correct. + +>Dr. Boylan : And it makes a lot of difference whether a person who has this +>kind of unprecedented, spooky, mysterious kind of experience is dealt with +>by somebody who knows how to handle emotional reactions and has enough +>information about the phenomenon to intelligently deal with the person, or +>whether they get you know debriefed by people that lack those skills and... + +Don Ecker : Well, Hopkins in fact has worked... + +>Dr. Ecker : that can be quite... can cause kind of a permanent-izing of the +>trauma, if the person is not dealt with right. + +Don Ecker : Hopkins has worked with mental health professionals... + +>Dr. Boylan : But he is not one. + +Don Ecker : No he is not, but I to say that that particular individual, and I +certainly do not agree with all his conclusions, but he has done more in a +positive light to bring this phenomenon to the public mind than practically +anyone else in the entire field. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I will agree and give credit to Budd for putting the word +>out there about the reality of extraterrestrial contacts in the time when it +>was extremely lonely and unpopular... + +Don Ecker : And he was dealing with people when no one else would, Richard... + +>Dr. Boylan : I give him every bit of that, however you know there are now a +>lot of psychotherapist willing to get into the field, getting into the +>field. I've trained probably thirty of them myself just in the last half +>year and their are a lots more out there coming forward now that this thing +>is getting declassified and legitimated as a real phenomenon... + +Don Ecker : But I will say this Hopkins... + +>Dr. Boylan : ...and it's not like the old days. + +Don Ecker : Hopkins, to my knowledge has never taken a fee from anybody that +he's worked with in the abduction field. + +-!- Bill : But that doesn't necessarily make him right, Don... + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah, he doesn't have a licence, it would be unlawful for him +>to do so. + +-!- Bill : And I'm not trying to take anything away from him, and if I may +-!- just say one more thing and I'll leave the line free for somebody else +-!- here. It just seems to me that if I were a "power monger" in charge of a +-!- dominant oil company on this planet and there was a civilization that +-!- came here and could show me a better way to do it, I sure would want to +-!- do something about that, and I'm not going to take up anymore time here, +-!- it's a great show, Thank You very much. + +Don Ecker : Thank you for calling, Bill. Ok, we are going to go to John in +Glendale on Sammons cable. Good evening John. + +-!- John : Hi Don, Dr. Boylan. + +>Dr. Boylan : Good evening. + +-!- John : This is a terrific show tonight. + +Don Ecker : Well, thank you. + +-!- John : I have one comment and then I do have a question. I'm calling to +-!- lend my support to Dr. Boylan's point of view. I do feel that this is +-!- not a black and white phenomenon nor is it necessarily as literal as it +-!- appears on the surface, and it's in the past few years it's come to be my +-!- notion that humanity is in the process of having it's consciousness +-!- transformed and that doesn't mean that it's going to be necessarily fun +-!- or easy, but perhaps will be beneficial in the long run. + +Don Ecker : OK... + +>Dr. Boylan : I'd have to agree with you John, that this extraterrestrial +>contact as an aggregate human experience is definitely transforming our +>consciousness. + +-!- John : Yes, I would agree with that, and so perhaps at our stage right +-!- now we don't quite understand all of the meaning about it. + +Don Ecker : What was your question, John? + +-!- John : So my question is, I'd like to ask Dr. Boylan if he feels that +-!- this encounter phenomenon is a "literal physical" experience or something +-!- more akin to an "altered state" type of experience? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I could be cute and say all of the above, but let me be a +>little more clear than that. It is as far as I can tell in a number of +>cases, a "physical real" experience where people are actually taken +>somewhere else, not that there aren't plenty of just "bedroom dialogs", but +>in those cases where people are removed to craft, taken somewhere else and +>in some cases procedures done where they have indications of laser surgery +>burn marks, or scoops taken out of skin, or other signs that indicate actual +>physical procedure and then returned, and I've yet to have anybody dumped in +>bed by the way, I've always seen accounts of kind of gentle and unobtrusive +>and placing back where they were found in ways that make it hard to tell +>that anything happened, but there do seem to be some mental contacts that +>are highly real, that seem to be like "ultra-vivid dreams", these usually +>seem to be follow-up encounters after, usually the first encounters are +>three dimensional real. Sometimes when person sort of got the basic message +>and the reality of the extraterrestrial dialog with them, it seems that some +>of these follow-up visits occur as mental transfers of data and information, +>and perceptions, along with highly visual mental pictures so that the person +>is almost not sure whether they've actually gone somewhere and seen the +>stuff or it's been highly vividly presented inside their mind. So I think +>that long-winded answer John, is that I think there's some of both to these +>encounters, it kind of depends on which particular encounter is going on at +>the moment. + +-!- John : Uh huh, it's interesting that you should mention "vivid dreams" +-!- because I've never had a sighting or an encounter that I can remember, +-!- however a few years ago I did have an extremely vivid dream, in which the +-!- message seemed to come to me that this was the only way in which I would +-!- be able to perceive this phenomenon which would be in an "altered state" +-!- kind of condition, which is I guess why I asked that question. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, ok John, let me back at this another way to, to be +>complete about it. There are a number of encounters that are disguised as +>"vivid dreams", in other words the "screen memory" or the "mental self +>explanation" that is imposed on the person's mind, when the +>extraterrestrials don't feel the time is right for that person to totally +>remember the encounter is that, "gee this was only a dream but boy was it a +>vivid one". So I can't say from just the little bit that we've talked +>whether what you've recalled was a "vivid dream, an extraterrestrial +>encounter disguised as a vivid dream, or one of those totally mental-ized +>along with visuals kind of encounters where there was no physical presence +>in the room, but a highly charged mental exchange". It would take some +>working with a professional, perhaps some hypnotic regression to tease out +>which one of the three it actually was. + +-!- John : Uh huh. + +Don Ecker : Ok John, we are going to have to move along, the lines are lit +up, but thank you for your call and please keep listening. + +-!- John : Thank You ! + +Don Ecker : Ok, we are going to go to Tino in Garden Grove on Paragon. Good +evening. + +-!- Tino : Hey Don, how are you doing? + +Don Ecker : Well, I'm fine. + +-!- Tino : It's good to talk to you again. + +Don Ecker : Is this the Tino I think it is? + +-!- Tino : That's right. I haven't talked to you in awhile, it's good to +-!- hear your voice again. + +Don Ecker : Well thank you, it's good to talk to you too. My guest this +evening is Dr. Richard Boylan, did you have a question for him? + +-!- Tino : Yeah, I've got two questions or three questions under one theme. +-!- I'm talking about the "alien entities" themselves, let's talk those for +-!- awhile. What has been your experience as to the "types of entities" +-!- there are, and what about their "powers and abilities". I understand at +-!- "Bentwaters" for instance they were able to do certain things that +-!- weren't always recorded by "Unsolved Mysteries" and other things, and +-!- then also the final, is there any as to their origin? + +>Dr. Boylan : Good questions Tino, let me try these on. Now I don't claim to +>have you know all the data, I don't know of any researcher that could. + +-!- Tino : Well, maybe both of you could answer. + +>Dr. Boylan : In my research to date, I've come up with a minimum of seven +>different races and possibly more you know. Again some of the stereotyper's +>would have the extraterrestrials being three and a half foot tall grey +>skinned folks, blah blah blah, but then you've got a lot of racial +>differences. Even if you concede a sort of a "grey general type" for one of +>the races, you've got three and half foot to four foot tall types, you've +>got five to six foot types, you've got seven to eight foot types, you've got +>three, four, or five finger types, pads on the ends of fingers or suction +>cups, you've got webbed or non-webbed fingers, you've got large almond +>shaped eyes slanted upward, outwards or horizontally in some cases large +>ovoid eyes without the almond slant, you've got extraterrestrials with slit +>pupils, you've got just other different body types, the so called praying +>mantis type, the reptoid type. So just running those categories out, you're +>probably talking seven to ten races just there. These are the ones that I +>keep getting recurrently. There's a few exotic and single case reports that +>I tend to be a little cautious about until I get a lot more corroborative, +>other people sighting the same ones, but those ones keep popping back up. +>Now as to your question about their "powers and abilities", obviously +>telepathy, they seem to be able go through walls, although their favorite +>mode of entry and exit is pane glass. They appear to be able to travel +>great distances with ease. They appear to be able to see the probable +>future and describe it in some detail and show it to people and people have +>subsequently seen that come true, and on and on. As to their origin, it's +>very interesting among the experiencers I've worked with, I don't know if +>the people haven't bothered to ask that question or it hasn't been +>volunteered. I try and take just what I've heard from reliable witnesses. +>In one case an experiencer said that he was told the race came from, I think +>about eight light years away, and that's just one race and one account. +>Obviously there's all these different races, we have every reason to believe +>that they come from a number of different star systems of obviously +>different distances from us. So that's what I got so far on that Tino and I +>hope that is of some help. + +-!- Tino : Yes, very interesting, thank you. Don how would you answer any of +-!- those ? + +Don Ecker : Well, I take a different take on it than what Richard does. I +number one, can not say and I'm used to dealing in fact as you know. I could +not go to court and state under oath that, I know that these intelligences, +if in fact that's what they are, are extraterrestrial. That is the most +likely hypothesis and that would seem to be born out by the facts, number +one. Number two, even though I am not willing to say that whatever is +happening under this set of circumstances is necessarily evil. I am not +willing to throw my arms open and embrace it as a positive thing, until much +more information is known. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm not saying it's +good, but I'm holding off on my final conclusions on that. I have talked to +many more people that have been traumatized by these circumstances, than I +have talked to people that have embraced this overall. I have been and have +interfaced with a number of people, for example with the "Close Encounter +Research Organization" that is headed up by Evonne Smith, whom many people +will have remembered having been on this program in the past, and she also is +keeping the options open on what is ultimately happening. I have heard from +a number of, for example females that have undergone this experience, that +have alleged that, they had undergone and became pregnant and at some point +in the process the fetus was removed. Now I don't know if this is true are +not, but this is... I mean this has been born out by more than just one or +two witnesses. So what I'm saying is, I think that we have to have a lot +more information and hopefully at some point, we have to have whomever's +in charge from the governmental side, to finally come forward and to be honest +and open to release what is known about this phenomenon to the American +public, and that's basically my angle on it. + +-!- Tino : All right, listen let's have lunch in August. + +Don Ecker : Sounds like a winner. + +-!- Tino : Thanks, great show... + +Don Ecker : Thanks for calling... Ok Tino, bye bye. All right we have a +couple of lines open. My guest this evening is Dr. Richard Boylan. And +let's go back to John in Ventura on Century. Good evening John. + +-!- John : Good evening Don. I have a question for the Doctor. The question +-!- is, along with the other contacts that are being made, is it not possible +-!- that our own federal government and it's secretive agencies, using +-!- different types of chemicals, like they used on people during the Vietnam +-!- era to... it's called metapederfrane (sp?) it's a spray that has an +-!- amnesia effect, but it leaves you totally helpless, and I was wondering +-!- if maybe that type of thing is also being used for some reason? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, let me come at that question a little bit sideways. I +>have had some tiny minority of accounts, a small fraction of the accounts +>that I've dealt with where, people report "joint military-alien" abductions, +>and I'm going to use that term, because these are almost always totally +>negative and terrorizing kinds of experiences, and without going into all of +>the details, I get into a little bit more of that in my book coming out. It +>appears that these are psychological warfare operations designed to enhance +>the image of extraterrestrial contact, as a horrible experience that people +>should fear and certainly not look forward to and try and run away from and +>simply not want to meddle with. So, there does seem to be in those cases +>some use of "mind-altering" chemicals, certainly rough handling procedures +>and a totally disagreeable experience, in some cases sexual abuse or rape, +>and the person when they get all done is definitely a propaganda agent for +>the fact that you wouldn't want come within a hundred miles of an +>extraterrestrial, after they come out of those experiences. + +-!- John : ~!@#$%^&*()_+ + +Don Ecker : Could you speak up John? + +-!- John : Sure, I was just wondering the reason, being in intelligence at +-!- one time, I've heard of this and I was just wondering you know... our own +-!- government's experimenting on us, along with the maybe factual contacts +-!- that have happened, trying to dis information ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, it certainly muddies-up the picture to have that going +>along side by side genuine extraterrestrial contacts... + +-!- John : Yes... + +>Dr. Boylan : It's people who've undergone one experience are thrown in with +>people who've undergone a different experience and it does make a confusing +>picture. I would say this, and you're probably more back grounded in the +>intelligence community than I from the outside would be, but I'm not so +>quick to say that our government's doing this. There seems to be some of +>the folks behind these particular iniquitous procedures that I don't think +>are taking their orders from the President. They seem to be pretty much +>autonomous and on their agenda. + +-!- John : Yeah, I know they're not probably coming from the President. I +-!- probably know where they're coming from, but thank you doctor, I +-!- appreciate it. + +Don Ecker : All right, thank you John. + +-!- John : Uh huh. + +Don Ecker : And when we come back I'm going to get Bert from Burbank on, +Bert don't hang up this time. {:^) We are back to the phones and now after +waiting patiently we have Bert in Burbank. + +-!- Bert : Hello there! + +Don Ecker : How ya doing Bert ? + +-!- Bert : I'm fine, I hope you guys are doing well, it's a very interesting +-!- show. I'd like to kind of purpose something that I've thought of for +-!- quite some time and then ask a question based around it, apropos to +-!- what's been talked about, and it's something that I call the "Elsie and +-!- Elmer syndrome" and what you do, you know you got to think about things. +-!- You go down to a farm and you go over and you get poor old elmer the bull +-!- all hot and bothered... the vets will... in a constant state of arousal, +-!- and say, uh uh ! well, sorry... really there ain't no cow around, but we +-!- got what we wanted anyway. Guy comes with a three foot syringe, pumping +-!- bull juice into a cow to impregnate her and keep her that way for the +-!- rest of her life, and the doctor, the vet is coming over and examining +-!- the cow twice a month, giving her shots, doing all kinds of strange +-!- things to her. Farmer John, he gets to milk her every morning, touching +-!- all parts of her anatomy and so he can sell the milk for you know +-!- whatever he needs. So now the question is this, are we "Elsie and +-!- Elmers" friend ? + +Don Ecker : Well, that's a heavy duty question. + +-!- Bert : (laughs) It's like, isn't this what's going on? So how do we +-!- determine if we are Elsie and Elmers friend or if the aliens are our +-!- friends, because there certainly seems to be some parallels between cows +-!- down on the farm and what the aliens are doing, at least the greys? + +Don Ecker : Richard, are you there? + +>Dr. Boylan : Oh Yeah. + +Don Ecker : Ok, how do you respond to that? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, let me start off with the... where my research has been. +>I have found a minority, a very substantial minority of cases involving +>what people might call reproductive procedures. Again the stereotype is +>that !@#$%^&* greys are zapping people in their bedrooms and hijacking them +>onto saucers and milking them of their reproductive products. I do not find +>that in the vast majority of the encounters I hear reported. There are some +>reproductive material borrowing, and even smaller percentage of cases I've +>heard and researched some fertilization with apparently hybridized +>reproductive material and extraction of a hybrid fetus, about a trimester +>into pregnancy, but those are minority experiences. The idea that we are +>being accosted by some sex hungry race or some race that can't handle it's +>own reproductive process and has to borrow us... is over blown. + +Don Ecker : Are you saying that Jacobs and Hopkins conclusions in that area, +in your opinion are not accurate? + +>Dr. Boylan : I think they are distorted. I think unless they're running +>across a some wholly different sample than I've run across and some of the +>researchers I've talked to, I think they're representing a gross distortion +>and a false stereotype of the experience. + +Don Ecker : But yet, that seems to be what their... that seems to be what +their subjects are telling them. How do you explain that? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I don't know that that's what their subjects are telling +>them, that's what they are walking out and telling us their subjects have +>told them. + +Don Ecker : Well, how do we know that your conclusions are accurate? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, you just have to use the same kind of criteria. I've +>been trained in research and I've trained in human psychology and I think +>I am therefore in a good equipped place to do my research. I make no +>apologies for the research I do. I present it to anybody who wants to look +>at the methodology, the numbers, the analyses... + +Don Ecker : But yet, we're dealing with something that in the history of +humankind has never been brought forward, except in the last what fifteen +twenty years. + +>Dr. Boylan : True, but we have developed a method of scientific inquiry that +>works rather well. I've been trained in anthropology and psychology and I +>think these two disciplines are exquisitely helpful in understanding this +>phenomenon. I don't think social history or art are nearly as useful in +>equipping a person to have a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. + +-!- Bert : Dr. Boylan, I've got to tell you something that there is a great +-!- deal of what you say that I agree with, and I would as a matter of fact, +-!- and I'm sure some of the other listeners would like to look at some of +-!- the information that you have. You said something brought out with Tino +-!- I believe, who was asking the question about running across different +-!- varieties and there certainly are many many different varieties that have +-!- been reported of alien beings. There's also a great variety of things +-!- that have been... information that has been passed on to the, as we call +-!- them, contactees", which sometimes as a very negative effect, if not +-!- necessarily accurately so, but the point being, that we have so many +-!- different ones even if we just say the seven that you're basically +-!- familiar with, that each one of them can have their own agenda, and just +-!- like here in the United States we have people who don't want dolphins +-!- bottled up in a pin, and then we have others who legitimately want people +-!- to swim with the dolphins because they can help some people overcome +-!- certain problems. So give us an idea and you've kind of talked in +-!- generalities. I'd really like to hear a couple of specific... general +-!- cases and what kind of information has been passed to the contactees, and +-!- for example maybe even where these beings were supposed to have come +-!- from. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, none of the experiencers I've worked with is learned in +>astronomy to know even if the extraterrestrial showed them a star chart that +>they'd know what they were looking at, so... + +-!- Bert : Did they have a name for their planet or the system they came +-!- from, was that ever passed ? + +>Dr. Boylan : I've never heard that reported. Generally in a number of cases +>they are shown the home planet as a visual, but no name ascribed to it... + +-!- Bert : Uh huh. + +>Dr. Boylan : In terms of the messages that the extraterrestrials have passed +>on, I've tried to summarize that... speak to one case in particular, an +>individual who has had a number of contacts from childhood into early +>adulthood and then nothing for a long time and then just in the last few +>years has had a contact or two and I'd say the last three or four years. +>This individual very early in his life... this is a young man who was raised +>on a ranch in California and Nevada, over the years was shown events which +>at that point were forty plus years into the future, that are now starting +>to unfold. + +-!- Bert : Uh huh. + +>Dr. Boylan : He was shown the increasing manifestation of the +>extraterrestrials, that people... that this whole phenomenon is going to +>come out of the closet. It's own memories were going to wake up when he was +>the age that he was about two and half years ago. That it would be the +>right time to come forward and recover the rest of his memory. He was shown +>all of this as a child, and then when he came in and started working with me +>and got the rest of his memories recovered, it all fit into place and he was +>quite taken back by the fact that the timing was just as they had said back +>then. The general message content had to do with, besides taking care of +>each other better and taking care of the planet better, getting ready for a +>more open extraterrestrial presence among us, but that a proper preparation +>is needed to take place first, peoples minds had to be conditioned for this, +>there is a certain gradualism to this, and that's parenthetically why I +>think we are seeing a gradual escalation in these contacts and more and more +>people being woken up to their memories and experiences that in some cases +>happened twenty, thirty, forty years ago, that the light bulb is coming on +>now, they're coming forward to talk to researchers, psychologists, whatever, +>about their experiences. We're seeing kind of a mass consciousness +>awakening in the popular press. The one thing I've seen that most grabs it +>for me is a New Yorker cartoon. The "New Yorker" not being a radical +>magazine, it shows this guy being hauled out by a number of +>extraterrestrials from the bedroom, while his wife looks on rather blandly +>and says "do you want me to videotape Murphy Brown for you, when you get +>back?" + +Don Ecker : Yeah, as a matter of fact we have that hanging up on our bulletin +board. Bert, we've got to roll along. Thanks for your call. + +-!- Bert : You bet! Doctor Boylan is there a paper or anything that you +-!- have, possibly a book that we could get a hold of? + +Don Ecker : Yeah, as a matter of fact I'm going to be talking about that +later... + +-!- Bert : Great! Thanks a lot... + +Don Ecker : It's called... Bert, "Close Extraterrestrials Encounters". It's +coming out this fall, "Wild Flower Press"... + +-!- Bert : Terrific ! + +Don Ecker : We'll be getting more information from Richard in a minute. + +-!- Bert : All right ! Thanks a lot guys. + +Don Ecker : Ok, let's move along, we've have had Margaret in Ventura on +Century waiting. Good evening Margaret. Are you there? + +-!- Margaret : Yes + +Don Ecker : Yes, Good evening, do you have a question for my guest? + +-!- Margaret : Yes I do. Yes I am. I've had... + +Don Ecker : We're waiting. + +-!- Margaret : Yeah, my question is... I've been... Oh, I'm listening to the +-!- TV and I can't concentrate. (laughs) + +Don Ecker : Ok well, did you have a question? + +-!- Margaret : Yes I do. + +Don Ecker : Ok. + +-!- Margaret : Ok, this is what's happened. When I was about three years +-!- old, I feel that now that I'm about almost forty two, what had happened +-!- to me at three years old quite possibly was an alien encounter. I was in +-!- my back yard, I was all alone and this being came to me an told me like +-!- what this man had just said before, told me things that would happen in +-!- the future, and this being told me that he was from the future and he +-!- said that he was representing the human race in the future, that these +-!- beings are what we are going to be in the future, and of course it scared +-!- me and I was only three years old and really didn't understand like I do +-!- now, and what I've been experiencing now is kind of like... I can only +-!- describe it as being electrically shocked, not... it doesn't hurt, but +-!- it's like I'm aware of their presence in my room and it's like I'm being +-!- scanned from head to toe and by the time it goes from head to toe, by the +-!- time it gets to my top of my head around the crown area, I hear this loud +-!- popping like an electrical kind of a statically, and it wakes me up right +-!- away you know, and I have seen three squiggly type beings. Not that they +-!- took shape, it's that they look like energy, light energy beings and +-!- there were like three of them, always three. The center one's always +-!- tallest and the two off to the side are the shortest. Now has anybody in +-!- your dealings ever experienced anything like that? + +>Dr. Boylan : Elements of that sound very familiar... + +-!- Margaret : Very familiar. + +>Dr. Boylan : The kind of electrical tingle, the kind of popping sound, the +>kind of waking up at the end of it... Mostly people recall the +>extraterrestrials as solid shapes or dark shadows in the corner, but there +>are some minority of reports where the beings have a luminescence quality or +>appear to be almost made out of light energy rather than total solid form. +>I'm not quite clear what that represents. The physics of this is probably +>beyond me and it's clearly got me and maybe beyond human physics, but there +>have been a number of reports of that kind. So there are bits and pieces of +>everything you've said I've heard in other reports, for what that's worth +>Margaret. + +-!- Margaret : Uh huh. Well, my other experiences that... The people that are +-!- having these negative experiences, is because they're attracting negative +-!- beings and that's what they are attracting... + +Don Ecker : Now why would you say that Margaret ? What makes you think that +they would be attracting... + +-!- Margaret : Why would I say that?... + +Don Ecker : Negative beings, yes. + +-!- Margaret : There are negative beings in the universe and they have told +-!- me that is what we are to be on guard for. Never to fall down in +-!- drunkenness because our auras open up and allow them to take over, and the +-!- other reason that they told us that they were taking fetuses is part of +-!- their food chain. + +Don Ecker : Who said that? + +-!- Margaret : This is what they told me. + +Don Ecker : You mean the entity that you had an experience with? + +-!- Margaret : They said... The one that came to me and said he was from our +-!- future, that these beings are taking... the negative ones are taking... +-!- They're cannibals out in outer space, they're cannibals and their from... + +Don Ecker : Well, I would have to see a lot more. I would not take anything +like that at face value. + +-!- Margaret : Hey, I didn't make this up, this is just something that's come +-!- to me, Ok... + +Don Allen : Oh No, I'm not suggesting you did. What I am suggesting is, like +anything else... + +-!- Margaret : But they're also trying to cross breed... they're trying to +-!- cross breed... + +Don Ecker : It's like anything else in this field... + +-!- Margaret : This is the other thing they were trying to tell us, that +-!- they're trying to cross breed with human forms to become more human like +-!- so that they can take over the earth. Now that's really frightening. + +Don Ecker : Well, in that case I think I'll go home and oil my shotgun. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I haven't heard any accounts of that kind. + +-!- Margaret : Well, but what the main message is, is to always be your most +-!- positive and the negative ones can't get you, they can't harm you. + +Don Ecker : Well, my recommendation would be to treat everything with a grain +of salt until we have a lot more information. Margaret, thank you for your +call. Please keep listening. + +-!- Margaret : Hey, your welcome. + +Don Ecker : Ok, let's go to Miles in Woodland Hills on CVI. Good evening +Miles. + +-!- Miles : Hi Don, how are you doing tonight? + +Don Ecker : I'm fine, thank you. + +-!- Miles : Good to talk to you once again. I've got two questions tonight. +-!- The first one, I would like to ask Dr. Boylan. The real trouble I have +-!- with the... actually correlating aliens with the abductions is that the +-!- high degree of technology that it must take for them to get here, say +-!- coming from the Pleiades or some other point out in space, then having +-!- the real low tech medical techniques of, taking skin samples and scooping +-!- skin out and the two don't seem to add up to me and I'd like you to +-!- comment on that, what you feel about... cause it seems that most of the +-!- abductees comment about you know getting sperm and ovary samples taken +-!- from them, and seems to me that they should be... we're on the verge of +-!- doing that type of cell engineering right now ourselves, if they're that +-!- advanced they shouldn't need all that. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I think we really have to be real cautious Miles, about +>anthropomorphism, you know, taking the human point of view about what the +>extraterrestrials are up to. It's always very very difficult and +>anthropologists always warn us that we're really prone to that. What seems +>to be, in my view and there's some evidence for that in the accounts some +>experiencers tell from dialog mentally with the extraterrestrials, is that +>this sampling isn't so much to figure out how our DNAs put together, you +>know, one sample should be enough to do that, but it's more individual +>monitoring of the experiencers personal individuals health, you know, how +>much heavy metals has this guy picked up, or you know, how's his physical +>health doing? Is there something that needs correction or adjustment here. +>These are moors (sp) readouts, information gathering about the specific +>individual as to what he or she is doing health wise, rather than trying to +>figure out homo sapiens as a species on a DNA basis. + +-!- Miles : I see. Also Don, I've got a question for you to. + +Don Ecker : Yeah. + +-!- Miles : I know about seven police officers back in Pennsylvania that had +-!- a series of UFO sightings and also encounters back in Fredricksburg and +-!- Meedville in and around 1975. I was wondering while you were a +-!- police officer back there, did you have any sightings like that? + +Don Ecker : Nope, I sure didn't. + +-!- Miles : Oh Ok. + +Don Ecker : Thank you Miles, let's go to Greg in Van Nuys. Good evening Greg + +-!- Greg : Hi Don. Richard how long do you believe that this is going on? +-!- How long have these beings being visiting us and how long have they been +-!- abducting people? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I don't know the answer to that, how long it's been going +>on. Definitively I think there are some indicators that tell us things. +>Just in my own research sample, I have a grandmother age individual who has +>this... the family tradition passed down from her grandmother of something +>that sounds like an extraterrestrial contact experience. Now that would put +>it what three to six generations back, but there are other indications of +>extraterrestrial contact in anthropological evidence, besides things like +>the Nazca (sp?) lines and what Zechariah Stichins has come up with from +>this Sumerian literature. I went back to Chaco Canyon (sp?) several weeks +>ago on some follow up research and the ancient Anasazi the ancestors +>of the Pueblo indians here, centuries ago had straight lines from Chaco +>Canyon out to the out layer communities hundreds of miles away in all +>directions that went over hills and valleys without any respecting of the +>terrain. These sixteen foot wide straight as an arrow paths make no sense +>in terms of foot paths or trade routes. In fact many of them could only be +>spotted from the air, were finally mapped and it looks like we have our only +>Nazca lines here in the United States. There are a number of indicators +>that primitive civilizations have come into contact with beings and have +>honored those contacts by creating symbols and designs that only can be seen +>from the air when humans didn't know how to go up in the air, you know, +>there's some such evidence that suggests that extraterrestrials may well +>have been visiting us for millennia, and some of the experiencers say that +>they've been told by the extraterrestrials that they have been visiting us +>for a very long time. + +-!- Greg : I see, Ok, thank you very much. + +Don Ecker : Alright Greg, thank you. + +-!- Greg : Ok Don, Bye Bye. + +Don Ecker : Good night. Richard... + +>Dr. Boylan : Uh huh. + +Don Ecker : If in fact these are extraterrestrial visitors and in my book I +can not definitively say that, because I don't know and I don't know of +anyone that has proof that is forthcoming and definitively say they are ET, +but we'll work on that assumption. If they are coming here and if it is in +fact for our benefit. The first part of my question is what have they done +for the people that you have worked with, that convinced you that it is of a +beneficent nature? What have they done that have improved these people? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, it's the experiencers attitudes themselves that convinced +>me. I've really tried to come at this as a scientist without assuming +>either positive or negative, but just letting the data walk at me and making +>of it what it seems to have to say, and working with people with no +>particular assumptions, but just having them spill out what's bottled up in +>them, and take a look at it and remember all of the contacts, and this is +>where it really helps to have a professional involved with these people, +>because you know, you can have people really get in touch with their +>feelings. The appropriate use of clinical hypnosis to recover total +>memories, and what people often have when they've not been worked with +>professionally is, they only remember the scary parts of their encounter, +>but they don't remember the rest of it, the kind of, if you'll pardon the +>expression, the human dialog, the emotional content, the caring, the +>concern... + +Don Ecker : Well, the people... we're running close on time now... + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah. + +Don Ecker : What I want to find out. The people that you have worked with, +what did they tell you that these intelligences did to them, and what was it +that convinced you that this is beneficent? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, it's the experiencers themselves, they come out of these +>experiences feeling awe, deeply touched, their minds have been expanded, +>their consciousness... + +Don Ecker : All right let me approach it from a different angle... + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah... + +Don Ecker : Let me approach it from a different angle. What is happening +during the course of this abduction experience ? I know you don't like that +word, but the for the hour and a half or two hours that these people are with +these intelligences, what is happening ? + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, there's a lot of dialog, there's in some cases, there's +>if they're removed to a craft, there's some what we'd consider to be +>scientific or medical kinds of examination procedures, there's some +>instruction going on, they're being shown things. They're being engaged in +>a highly personalized way in some cases by beings that are doing education. +>Other cases with kind of a loving gaze and an engaging kind of mental +>connection. There's a lot of variety. + +Don Ecker : Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I find it highly unlikely that +a sentient being would travel light years to come to earth and gaze with +love on somebody. That does not compute. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I tried to use a little shorthand for at least the higher +>races visiting as that there, but like Zen monks, you know, they have a +>respect for all, to use your own words "sentient" life forms. They see a +>kinship and that all life has to be reverenced. That's often the message +>they give us to, that we should not be dismissive of animals and other life +>forms, and because they understand the kinship and the sacredness and +>reverence of all life forms, they recognize us as a bright fairly +>intelligent life forms, you know, a cut above the animal kingdom and more +>bracketed in with them than with other layers of life forms, and so they see +>a kinship there that makes them want to bring us forward and finish the rest +>of our mental and spiritual evolution, so that they can share the gift of +>fully expanded consciousness and evolution more fully with us, help us kind +>of fast forward if you will. + +Don Ecker : Well, you know what would convince me? + +>Dr. Boylan : What? + +Don Ecker : That they were simply coming here to assist humankind, which and +I've got to tell you, I don't by that. I think whatever they're doing, +they're coming under their own agenda, but if I were to be convinced, I would +be convinced if they would come out and say, ok this is how we can assist you +in healing the ozone depletion or we will work with you in coming up with a +cure for cancer, or aids, or we're going to show you how to make the +transition from a fossil fuel based economy to something that is clean and +efficient non polluting, or we're going to show you how to achieve the same +type +of nutritional balance by growing this crop or that crop, and you will no +longer have the need to butcher and kill animals for food sources. That +would be something I would think that would be of a beneficent nature for +humankind, but you know, as far as we are a spiritual being, I don't need +anyone to come down from the sky to teach me how to be more spiritual. I +already know what I personally believe and I think everybody else is +somewhere in there also. So what I'm saying Richard, I think whatever is +happening has been happening a long time and it's happening under a +particular agenda that we do not understand or even necessarily perceive. + +>Dr. Boylan : Well, I would be the first to agree that we don't completely +>understand their agenda, that would require their perspective and their +>mental capacity to do. I personally consider that the human race has some +>room left to grow, and I would not consider it preposterous if they come +>with the agenda of wanting to nudge us in that direction. Some of the +>examples you've given of beneficents are in the technological realm. I +>think that they're... + +Don Ecker : No, it was all in the realm of improving the human condition. + +>Dr. Boylan : Yeah, but things like cancer cures or better grain hybrids to +>get better crop yields are what one might call technological. I don't think +>that that's the burden of their basic message, their top priority. I think +>there is some nudging of through mental influence on us to move forward in +>those directions.

For +although RCMP File No. 92-0653 is professionally prepared, it was headed +straight for the dust-covered files the moment its subject matter was +revealed at the top of the first page. + + "RE: UFO SIGHTING. Near Taber, Alberta, 92 JUL 06." + + Here are the highlights: A 15-year-old girL watching TV at 3:23 a.m., saw +a large "sphere-shaped" object hovering outside the window. She ducked +under the covers of the living room couch and blacked out. The next day, +"fresh impressions" that were "roughly circular in shape" were discovered +out in the field. + + The Mounties followed procedure. They sent the report to the National +Research Council just a stone's throw from the prime minister's residence +on Sussex Drive in Ottawa. + + Since 1968, the NRC's solar terrestrial physics section has been +responsible for collecting all reports of unidentified flying objects. The +federal agency receives about 100 such reports a year from police forces, +the military and the transport department. + + Some are clearly just meteor sightings. Others are more intriguing. +There's an amazing similarity to many descriptions: flying +"triangular-shaped" objects that flash white, blue and red lights, and +hover motionless. + + So what does the NRC do? Does it send out a squad of investigators? Does +it track the sighting reports for trends? + + Nope. It tucks the reports in its own files, and after a year, ships them +across town to the archives for posterity. + + Ron Burrows, who headed the NRC's solar terrestrial branch for 13 years +until this fall, is a top-notch scientist with a reasoned explanation. + + The government simply doesn't have the money to investigate such a +complex phenomenon as UFOs, he says. + + "I mean, does anybody ask the government of Canada to go out and prove +that there is a God? It just isn't something that is amenable to the +scientific method of investigation." + + Burrows says he doesn't doubt the sincerity of people who report UFOs, +and the last thing he wants is for them to be told: "Go away and don't +bother me, you're crazy." + + "Maybe they saw something and take comfort in feeling they've done the +right thing in talking to the authorities. Part of the role of the +policeman is to be adequately reassuring." + + Reassurance is fine, says Burrows, but answers are unreasonable. + + "I don't think you can expect the government to solve all the mysteries +in life." + +---- + + MYSTERIOUS EVENTS FROM GOVERNMENT FILES + +MARK KENNEDY +Ottawa Citizen +November 27, 1993 + + Some recent sightings of unidentified flying objects, from the files of +the National Research Council: + + Hull, Que., Sept. 3, 1993 + + Two witnesses saw a "blue ball, very clear and condensed, with halo" +behind their house.

In addition, the two women and Landrum's grandson, +who was with them that night in 1980, say they have suffered +public ridicule. + Still they aren't backing down. In fact, they hope to +revive their case. + Whether it was piloted by little green men or by humans +at the controls of a secret military project,Cash and +Landrum insist they saw an Unidentified Flying Object that +night---- and that they have the injuries to prove it. + Their skin is so sensitive now it only tolerates cold +showers, they say, and they must hide like hermits from the +sun to avoid blistering. Medical bills are mounting, and so +are their worries. + Cash, a cafe owner, and Landrum, a waitress, blame these +and other strange maladies on the intense heat that they say +came from the bizarre diamond-shaped craft. + The encounter, on Dec. 29,1980, occurred on an isolated +road in the piney woods northeast of Houston in Liberty +County, the two women say. Since then they have lived mainly +on Social Security, saying they are too ill to hold jobs. + But their story has spread internationally, including +Omni magazine and several TV programs,and the mystery still +arouses curiosity. + Their lawsuit alleged they were injured by an +experimental military craft that spewed radiation, or by a +UFO under surveillance by military helicopters. Cash and +Landrum have been besieged with telephone calls-- including +some from anonamous tipsters telling of a top secret +project, WASP-2, allegedly discontinued after radiation +accidents. + Their attorney, Clay Ford of Gulf Breeze, Fla., wants to +reopen the case by showing government officials lied about +record keeping procedures during pretrial proceedings. + Meanwhile he is negotiating the sale of his client's +movie rights. + It all started when the two women and Landrum's +grandson, Colby, then 7, drove to New Caney in search of a +bingo game. The bingo halls had closed for the Christmas +holidays, however, so they had dinner in that east +Montgomery County town and headed home. + The women say Colby noticed a bright light in the +distance as they traveled down FM 1485 about 9 p.m.. +Quickly, they say, a large object emitting the light swooped +over the tree tops and hovered over a spot just ahead. + "I screamed for Betty to stop", said Landrum. "I do +believe that if we would have continued we would have burned +up". + Red-orange flames belched downward as the object +struggled to rise, then sputtered and plunged back toward +the road, she said. The flames roared like a blowtorch, she +said, and the object also made a shrill beeping noise. + "It was a dull gray,metallic color and about the size of +a water tower. It looked as if it would set the woods on +fire," recalled Cash, who said she stood outside and watched +for 10 minutes. + Landrum said she and Colby also left the car but quickly +returned, and the boy cowered on the floor. + Finally, the UFO gave one last blast and flew out of +sight with at least 23 helicopters in pursuit, the two women +said. + "It's been a nightmare that I wish I could forget," said +Cash, now 62 and living in Alabama near her family. + Her physician, Dr. Bryan McClelland of Birmingham,says +she has a "textbook case" of radiation poisoning. He +compares it to being three to five miles from the epicenter +of Hiroshima. McClelland said a 1981 biopsy found radiation +dermatitis. + "The dry, thin skin on her hand resembles that of a +90-year-old lady, with red and purple streaks," he said. + Landrum's doctor declined comment on her ailments. + Houston doctors who first examined the trio say they +appeared burned, had puffy, swollen eyes and their hair came +out in clumps. Though they couldn't settle on a cause, they +did not rule out radiation. + "The Cash-Landrum case could very well be the most +important UFO incident to surface in the last 20 years, +since there was something to examine afterwards," said John +Schuessler, a McDonnell-Douglas space shuttle engineer and +deputy director of the Mutual UFO Network. + MUFON is a nationwide, 2,100-member organization that +investigates and catalogs UFO sightings and incidents. + Cash and Landrum say their health began deteriorating +the night of the incident, with the severity depending on +the amount of exposure of the intense heat. They say all +three suffered problems, including red, blistering skin; +nausea; diarrhea; headaches; and swollen, watery eyes. + Later, they said, they experienced hair loss, open sores +that were slow to heal, depressed immune systems and failing +eyesight. + "I couldn't take care of myself for two years," said +Cash, who claims the longest exposure to the intense light. +"I was either bedridden or in the hospital (including for +three weeks just after the sighting)." + Besides physical injuries, the trio suffered emotionally. + Landrum, who still lives in Dayton with her grandson, +said people stared at her and gave her a wide berth, calling +her "the UFO lady". + Colby, now 17 who had the mildest exposure and symptoms, +was teased until he sank into a severe depression, Landrum +said. She did not want the youth interviewed, but his +journal gave some insight to his feelings. + "I am not made fun of as much as I had been. But I am +sick a lot, and my eyes are still very bad," he wrote +recently. "I still look up when I go outside.I guess it is +just a habit, but I always wonder what is up there. Lots of +nights I lay awake wondering if other kids have gone through +what I have." + Since the three reported their encounter, others have +said they saw the helicopters or a strange flying object +that night. + Dayton police Officer L.L.Walker and his wife Marie, +reported seeing a half-dozen helicopters flying in "V" +formation with searchlights. Belle Magee, then a bakery +clerk in the area, reported seeing a bright light " like a +football field but up in the sky" heading north toward New +Caney. + Also, a former Liberty County sherrifs deputy reported +seeing an identical object almost two years later as he +drove on an isolated road near Cleaveland. + John Mark McDonald- now a Lake Jackson police officer- +described it as diamond shaped, about half the size of a +football field and the color of galvanized steel. The only +difference between his sighting and the 1980 report was that +his had red lights on each corner. + "Everybody was riding me about reporting it -- thought I +was crazy," McDonald said. "But I just knew it wasn't an +airplane, because I've been working in the U.S. Army +Reserves and know about every fixed wing (craft) there is." + Today, Landrum and Cash are anxious for some answers. + Cash still has the 1980 Oldsmobile she drove that night. +She says the intense heat embedded Landrum's handprint in +the padded dashboard. + Also, she said two unidentified men in military uniforms +once offered to buy the car. Dr. McClelland, who said his +secretary witnessed the offer, suspects somebody wanted to +get rid of the car because "ion (electrically charged atoms) +tracks are visible on the chrome." + Another quirk was the unexplained repair of a melted +spot in the road where the incident occurred, Schuessler +said. + "I have photographs of a 15- to 25-foot area where even +the center stripe was wiggly," he said. + A year later, he said, the spot had been +resurfaced.Schuessler said county officials denied any +knowledge of the repair. + The reported sighting has attracted numerous other +responses, including some from the fringe. On one nationally +syndicated TV special, two men using disguises and the names +"Falcon" and "Condor" told wild tales of U.S. pilots having +problems while testing a nuclear powered craft that had been +acquired from extraterrestrials. + Other tips are coming from callers who recently saw the +UFO story aired on the Unsolved Mysteries TV program... + Still others, claiming to be military people or their +relatives, have called to say they flew helicopters that +night, despite the pentagon's denial. + At least two callers linked the UFO to a classified +project, WASP-2, which they said was an experimental +nuclear-powered craft abandoned after 1982 when it couldn't +stop irradiating people. + "The trouble is that most all the people with something +significant to say were anonymous," said Schuessler. + Paul M. Koloc, a retired U.S. Navy research physicist +from Maryland, confirmed the existance of a research program +called Winged Aircraft Special Projects. However, he +theorizes the object Cash and Landrum reported may have been +ball lightning, caused by a huge lightning bolt and hot +gases. + Lt. Col. George C. Sarran, an Army congressional liason +who recently was sent to review the case, concluded that +while there was no indication that anyone was trying to +exaggerate the events, he also found that no "Army-related" +helicopters were involved. + "Sarran told me, 'I know something terrible has happened +to you, but I don't know what it is,' " Cash said. + Neither do she and Landrum. + +** end ** + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Normally, UFO avoids focusing on personalities, preferring to + concentrate on the phenomenon itself. + + But these personalities force us to make an exception.

Who are the ruthless Pied + Pipers forging a trail of lies and deception? Our series begins with + Milton William Cooper. + + + COOPER + + In the last several years, few have stirred the field of ufology like + Milton William Cooper. Cooper, born May 6, 1943, is a balding 47-year- + old man who has enthralled thousands with lurid tales of dangerous UFOs + and secret government treaties allowing the alien menace to abduct and + experiment on unwilling human victims in exchange for advanced alien + technology. + + Raining threats and pronouncements over the UFO field like a + continuously firing shotgun, Cooper has recently leveled charges of + government spookery against a number of prominent ufologists in the + field, in many cases claiming to have seen their names on a government + recruitment list back in 1972 and 1973 while he was purportedly serving + in Naval Intelligence in CINCPACFLT (Commander in Chief, Pacific + Fleet). + + Not above accusing former friends and associates, Cooper has charged + various ufologists with illegal acts, moral turpitude and of purveying + disinformation that permeates the field. Now with an agent to book + speaking engagements at any and every UFO event possible, Cooper is + very fond of stating to his audiences, "Don't take my word for it, go + out and check the information yourself." UFO Magazine has, and the + following is the result of our investigation. + + Paranet debut + + Who is M. Wm. "Bill" Cooper, and where did he come from? Cooper's + first public appearance resulted when he uploaded a text on ParaNet, + the international computer data service. The file alleges a fantastic + UFO sighting while Cooper was a crew member of the U.S.S. TIRU, a + United States Naval submarine, in 1966. According to Cooper, the + sighting took place while he was on duty as port lookout. + + Claiming that the sub's skipper immediately classified the incident, + Cooper reported that when the submarine reached port, the witnesses + were debriefed by Naval Security. + + During this time frame of Cooper's initial appearance on the scene, + John O. Lear, son of William "Bill" Lear of Lear Jet fame, had also + been undergoing ParaNet scrutiny as a result of the release of his + hypothesis concerning an alien threat. Lear's document, released in + December of 1987, had created quite an uproar in its own right. Lear + alleged that the U.S. government had entered into a relationship with a + possible ET intelligence, and in exchange for super technology gave + carte blanche to the ETs to conduct experiments and abductions on + unsuspecting human beings. + + Lear also claimed that the ETs, with our government's knowledge, were + mutilating domestic animals such as cattle and sheep, and in some cases + even human victims. Because much of Lear's information was hypothesis, + and little checkable information was forthcoming, many ParaNet members + and others in the UFO community were asking very hard questions. In a + number of instances, Lear's credibility was attacked. + + When he again visited the ParaNet system, Cooper allied himself with + Lear, publicizing the claim that because of releasing his UFO infor + mation, he had just been terminated from his $75,000 a year job as the + executive director of a commercial business school. + + In October of 1988, Cooper contacted this writer, requesting a favor. + Telling me at that time that "this is dangerous if anyone finds out," + he asked me to accept the electronic transfer of a file into my + computer, to be sent to Stanton Friedman with the information of who + wanted Friedman to see it. The document included information about + purported government UFO involvement under the terms MAJI, MJ-1, THE + BLUE TEAM, GRUDGE, etc. -and, according to Cooper, various other + alleged secret government projects dealing with the alien presence. I + agreed to send the information to Friedman. (I never heard anymore + about it until later, when Cooper was barred from ParaNet because of' + claims of feeding false and fraudulent information.) + + I basically forgot about the file to Friedman until Cooper released + additional files with the claim that they were the final release. But + subsequently Cooper was to release several "final" releases. + + In one, he claimed, "MJ-12 is the name of the secret control group. + The Jason Society [was set up] to sift through all the evidence, + technology, lies and deception . . ." But later, in another file, he + stated, "MJ-12 cannot be used as a name for the control group as it + would cause confusion in meaning, i.e., is it referring to MJ-12 the + person or MJ-12 the group...?" (Italics added) By this time, I and + others were becoming confused with the various "final releases." + + Project 'Luna' + + In another public release, Cooper claimed that "Project Luna" was an + alien base on the far side of the moon which had been observed by + various astronauts, but changed the story in one more "Final release," + stating that it was the code name for an underground base near Dulce, + New Mexico. + + In Cooper's later releases are a number of names that were never + mentioned in earlier releases, names such as JOSHUA and O.H. KRLL or + KRLLL, or CRLL, CRLLL, or even KRILL. When it comes to answering + whether these claims will bear up under serious scrutiny, these names + prove to be very important, as later information in this article will + show. + + Whistleblowers Part Two + + UFO Magazine Vol 5 No 5 by Don Ecker + All rights reserved. + + + In part one of this series, UFO focused on the background of Milton + Wm. Cooper. Cooper's information raises many questions, especially in + light of its sensationalist nature and the potential harm it may cause + to unsuspecting, gullible innocents. + + During the latter part of 1988 and the very first part of 1989, + Cooper's story varied widely from what he is presently disseminating. + In early January 1989, Cooper was interviewed by a California + researcher, Paul Shepherd. An excerpt of this interview follows. + Cooper: "While serving in the United States Navy in 1972, I + participated the intelligence briefing team of the Commander-in Chief + of the United States Pacific Fleet . During this participation on the + intelligence briefing team, I came across a document called the Grudge + Bluebook Report Number 13, and a file called the Majesty File . + classified Above Top Secret with a MAJIC classification, which means + MAJI controlled; MAJIC is the Majestic Agency for Joint Intelligence. + It is the organization that controls all the operations with UFOs and + with an alien race that is present on the Earth." In later interviews, + and especially after he began accusing researcher Bill Moore of being + an agent of the secret government, Cooper began claiming that any file + with the word "Majestic or forms thereof, are a fraud, a lie." + + Attempting to check on Cooper's claim of belonging to a permanent + intelligence briefing team while serving in the Navy between 1970 and + 1973, which would have allowed him access to some classified documents, + UFO called the United States Navy to determine how the Navy conducts + its briefing teams. UFO spoke to Lt. Commander Ron Morse at the Office + of Information-West. + + Lt. Commander Morse stated that the Navy did not have permanent + briefing teams, but would form a temporary one on a need basis. + + "Usually if a team is put together, it will last for no more that two + weeks," Morse said. + + Many of Cooper's claims have been disputed not only by John Lear and + Bob Lazar, but also by Tony Pelham, former reporter for the Las Vegas + Bullet newspaper. All three men told UFO Magazine that Cooper admitted + early on that he had never been on a briefing team, but had in fact + "taken the documents, copied them and then returned them." + + "Cooper told me that while he worked on the graveyard shift, he would + wait for the Lt. JG [Junior grade] to go on a coffee break, and then + somehow get into the classified files," Pelham said. "l asked him if he + broke into the files, but he never answered me. + + "Cooper then told would take a number of files,copy them, and then + carry them out in his lunch pail. He said he did this until he got all + the files he needed." Cooper called Pelham in early August. "He asked + me why I had turned away from him. He is really upset about all the + people who are attacking him . he said that if I turned against him, he + will crucify me next." Pelham also reports that when he asked Cooper + about his claim that all his stolen government documents were lost in a + garage fire, Cooper refused to give the date or location of the fire so + Pelham could check the police or fire records, and would give no + explanation for refusing to provide information that would validate his + story. + + "Usually if a team is put together, it will last for no more that two + weeks," Morse said. + + Other unsubstantiated information from Cooper has apparently + stimulated the fears and concerns of some people who have undergone the + "abduction"experience. East coast researcher Marianne Shenefield, a + nationally-known abductee who works with many abductees, called UFO on + several occasions and expressed her own concern about what she heard + while dealing with abduction victims. She told UFO, "When Bill + Cooper's paper 'The Secret Government' came out, I had abductees all + over the U.S. calling me. Cooper said in his paper, and was claiming in + his lectures, that the government was going to round up abductees and + put them in concentration camps. + + "I knew it was going too far when two abductees whom I have worked + with were talking about committing suicide. They were terrified that + the Army was going to come into their homes and take them off to + concentration camps." + + Cooper has stated that he doesn't care who his information hurts or + who it helps, but that he will continue to put it out there because + people "deserve the truth." + + In his paper "The Secret Government," Cooper falsely claimed that + "Stanton Friedman has told me and many others that years ago he helped + develop a nuclear reactor the size of a basketball, to power an + aircraft. It was clean, turned out hydrogen, and worked like a dream". + UFO called Friedman, a respected nuclear physicist and one of the top + ufologists in the United States. "Cooper's claim is totally + fraudulent," Friedman stated. + + "There is no truth to it at all." Friedman expressed bewilderment + when asked why he thought Cooper would make that claim. + + THE "Orange" + + UFO Magazine was present in the fall of 1989 at a UFO conference + hosted by the UFO Data Research and Intelligence Center, in Modesto, + California. Bill Cooper was one of the speakers, and during the course + of his lecture was asked by a member of the audience if he knew how + many types of aliens were presently on earth. Cooper answered, "There + are four types, and four only. one group (is) very human looking; as a + matter of fact they are starring on television in "Alien Nation," the + Orange. + + According to the casting director of Alien Nation, Irene Kagan, these + remarks of Cooper's are totally false. "I can assure you that all the + 'alien' actors on the show are human," she said. "I hired them." + + On a recent broadcast of the "Billy Goodman Happening" on KVEG from + Las Vegas, researcher Lars Hansson (see article, p. 17) debated Cooper + on the air and pointed out some of the inconsistencies that Cooper has + espoused. Hansson brought up the fact that at one time Cooper himself + gave Bob Lazar his "stamp of approval." Cooper vehemently denied ever + having endorsed Lazar's authenticity, + + UFO has been following the Lazar story since it broke upon the UFO + scene. Cooper's claim that he never gave Lazar his support or claims of + legitimacy is untrue. On November 21, 1989, Bob Lazar was a guest on + the Billy Goodman Happening, and during the audience call-in phase of + the show, Cooper phoned in and said the following over the air: "I'd + like to clear up a couple of misunderstandings here. Number 1, I would + really like to thank Bob Lazar for coming forward. I have been talking + to him for the last year, along with John Lear, we have met in groups + and privately. The man (Lazar) is a wealth of information. I am tickled + pink that he has finally decided to come forward and use his real name, + because it helps all of us. the reason he has gotten into this + predicament is because he is a Patriot. He cares about this country and + that is what made him do this. . ." Goodman then broke in, saying, + "That's beautiful, Bill, an unsolicited testimonial, basically, that's + what it comes down to. " + + Then Cooper continued, "First, I'd like to say that I personally, and + also Tony Pelham and also the Channel 8 news staff-George Knapp and + several other people, John Lear-we have all investigated this man's + background thoroughly because we did not want to be sucked into a trap + by the government. And I can tell you that he is who he says he is. He + has worked at Los Alamos. He is a physicist, he is a theoretical + physicist. He has worked at Area S4 in Groom Lake. We have verified all + of this-not just me but several other people, and I have verified it by + two different sources of mine who are in the government. One is at + Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories . We are always on the + lookout for somebody trying to trap us and something that we ean be + discredited by. We have to do that [background research] to protect our + own credibility." Cooper has subsequently attacked Lazar with claims + that he knew all along that Lazar was fraudulent. In his CAJI + Newsletter, he now presents a completely different tone than before, + and writes of "Lazar, the so-called physicist who claims to have seen + flying saucers. + + This information was not included into the Cooper story, and as + promised, I will now relay it. + + Cooper, during his initial exposure in the public, was on the Billy + Goodman Happening over a year ago. One of the people that heard Cooper + was a well known Hollywood entertainment figure, Michael Callan. Callan + was fascinated by the information that Cooper was giving, and ended up + contacting Cooper. Callan, and a close friend of his, Doug Deane, + decided that they would use their entertainment contacts, and + professionally "market" Cooper. Callan and Deane set up a business + called "Need to Know Productions", and sunk money into setting up + Cooper on the "lecture tour". + + Callan and Deane videoed Coopers lectures, and gave him the benefit + of their combined knowledge of Hollywood to go out and sell himself. + Setting up Cooper at lectures, and finding an agent for him at + "Spotlight Enterprises", Callan and Deane made a heavy investment. + Cooper signed a contract with Deane and Callan, and when he saw how + much money he "could" be making, tried to squeeze Callan and Deane out + of their contract. Callan had had suspicions earlier when Cooper spoke + to him about trying to squeeze Stan Barrington (business manager) out, + but then Cooper found out that it would cost him $15,000. Barrington + stayed, but one night, Cooper indulging in his childish temper + tantrums, and drinking heavily, made 10 ( thats TEN ) phone calls to + both Callan and Deane, threatening them with public ruin, death, + property damage, and slander if they did not give him the master copies + of the tapes that they had videoed for him. Both men (Callan and Deane) + ended up phoning the police, and they had Cooper placed on file. Later, + Cooper went to Deane's home, was witnessed by Deane's gardener, and tried + to force his way into Deane's house. Later, when Deane returned home, + found all the tires on his car slashed. It is interesting to note, that + one of Coopers threats to Deane mentioned his car tires. The police + investigated, but it ended up that no charges were filed. + + Prior to the above events, one of Coopers invitations to speak were + from a German UFO groups. Cooper was invited by Michael Hesseman, a + German "New Age UFOlogist" to appear in Germany. Cooper had accepted, + and demanded 5000 Duetch Marks ( $3000 US ) plus his plane ticket, + room, board, and the other things that Hesseman had promised. Hesseman + sent Cooper all of the above, but because of a German Postal Strike, + word of the event was late in getting out in Europe. Cooper had + planned, according to Hesseman, in making money in "workshops" while + the UFO event was going on, and because the event would not be so well + attended, became upset.Hesseman offered to reschedule the event, or set + it up later, but Cooper refused, and then told Hesseman that if he + wanted him to come, he needed another 5000 Duetch marks, or he refused. + Hesseman did not have the money, so Cooper informed Hesseman that he + would not fly over, and then refused to refund Hessemans cash. + + WHISTLEBLOWERS PART ONE SIDEBAR. + + In his CAJI newsletter, Cooper stated that "No one likes to be a + fool, but most ufologists are exactly that. I keep saying to do + research, to investigate, but no one does it. They just sit around and + call each other names." This reporter, representing UFO Magazine, + attempted to contact Cooper to verify his claims by leaving a message + on his computer service. + + Cooper read the message and called about an hour later. When I + answered the phone, Cooper growled, "What the hell do you want!?" When + I attempted to explain that I was doing a story for UFO and wanted to + verify his claims, he shot back, "What are you writing for your f***in' + trashzine?" I then said that I had received a copy of the CAJI + newsletter and he replied, "I would be very careful if I was you. That + newsletter is copyrighted." + + Cooper then stated, "I don't trust you or anyone you are associated + with. " The only response I was able to get concerned the allegation + that Bob Lazar ran a speed lab. "John Lear told me that out of his own + mouth... I got the information from a man named Cory and eoff who are + good friends of John Lear. " + + Just at that moment the phone rang with the call waiting feature, and + Cooper refused to hold 'til I could find out who was calling. He + refused to speak any further and hung up. This seems out of character + for a person who claims that his information is legitimate. + + As UFO Magazine was going to press, and as we expected, Cooper's + newest newsletter attacked this writer and the magazine. Cooper now + claims that Cory Testa was intimidated by UFO regarding the claims that + Bob Lazar is involved with drugs, and that UFO or myself or both are a + part of Cooper's paranoiac "secret government." + + The absurdity of this speaks for itself. But for the record, UFO will + attempt to get Testa's version of this. Researching and accurately + reporting facts are not Cooper's strong suit.-D.E. And UFO MAGAZINE CO- + Publisher says... +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + There you have it. Don Ecker's article, documentary reports + researched and produced by George Knapp of KLAS-TV and what Cooper has + published in his CAJI newsletter are part of a growing information base + which should demonstrate why we have chosen not to give space to the + often false and specious claims that Cooper purveys. + + It is not our intention to single out individuals and "pick on" them; + it's simply very important that the truth or the closest thing to it be + established. A close reading of our whistleblowers series, as it + progresses, will demonstrate that there are people in this field who + have set themselves up for examination and whose claims of truth are, + at best, cleverly-mouthed chunks of propaganda; some if not most will + be found wanting. Milton William Cooper has threatened, lied about and + attacked a number of people in the UFO field (I'm included, as is Don + Ecker). Along with slander and lying, he has a clear history of con + tradicting himself, backtracking when caught in those contradictions + and then attempting to patch up his story with a turnaround position + based on sudden new claims that, true to style, cannot be checked out. + + A Bill Cooper could not maintain a foothold in any other field. Such + a bullying personality would have been "run out of town" long ago. But + the fact that this man and others like him still can command some + audience and are seen as having some veracity and authority denotes a + sore lack of discrimination on the part of many in the UFO arena, if + not outright foolishness. + + But it should be likewise emphasized that this syndrome also + testifies to our collective frustration with the lies and secret + machinations of some powerful persons in the U.S. government, + cultivating many people's willingness to listen and 'follow just about + anyone who purports to be defending the Constitution and who vocally + demands accountability from the very government officials in whom we + should be able to place our trust. + + It's so very important: Dedication to the absolute truth, to the + finer points of democracy, when exercised without caution and + discernment, plays right into the hands of those who would short + circuit those very precious qualities we hold dear. "Users" of all + political persuasions will exploit the emotional fervor of the crowd to + further their own selfish and inhumane ends. (Some names to remember: + Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Joseph Stalin, Joe McCarthy.) + + It's imperative that we and I include everyone who shares the vision + of UFO Magazine-short-circuit such perniciousness at its very core, + striking at the heart of demagoguery with persistent courage and + honesty. + + Only personal commitment to humane and truthful ideals, and the + willingness to expose the truth, can successfully overcome The Big Lie. + UFO Magazine honors just such a commitment. + + Vicki Cooper + + IN DEFENSE OF THE FACTS + + When I began to look at Cooper's UFO-related information, our pur + pose was to examine his claims and see how valid they were. This + endeavor started with Cooper's CAJI newsletter, and his claims that + people such as Bob Lazar, John Lear, Bill Moore and others were engaged + in various illegal or unethical acts. + + But back in April and May of I990, Lazar, for instance, had NO + criminal charges even pending. Apparently Lear was targeted by Cooper + only because he appeared on the George Knapp special and exposed some + of Cooper's bogus information over the air. + + When UFO tried to contact Cooper, he immediately blew up. Sure + enough, before too long he launched a smear campaign against the + magazine and this writer. Cooper has even called the magazine and + threatened to sue unless we print a complete retraction of Part One, + published in UFO, Vol. 5, No. 4. Never a word that parts of the story + (in his opinion) are wrong, not a word that he wants his side told in + these pages. Instead, in his latest newsletter, Cooper has resorted + once more to smearing, innuendo and libel. He even engages in an in + credibly sophomoric, juvenile display by making scatological parodies + of my name, George Knapp's, and Vicki Cooper's. + + I, for one, wiIl not be intimidated. UFO Magazine wilI continue to + report the truest facts available, and what is nice about reporting + facts is... they can be shown to everyone at any time. + + What is really sad about this story is the $act that I agree with + much of what Cooper says when he is speaking about an erosion of + Constitutional civil liberties. There are bizarre things afoot in the + land, each day becomes more uncertain, and the public is simply not + being told the true $acts. However, one thing about the First + Amendment, that although it guarantees freedom of speech, it does not + allow the screaming of fire (with no fire) in a crowded theater. Cooper + has been screaming fire on rainy days, and the problem with that is... + What do you do when a real fire starts? Just like the kid who always + cried wolf, no one came when the wolf finally showed up. + + What it appears we are dealing with is demagoguery. Demagoguery in + any form, with people following blindly, is always a dangerous + development. Examine everyone's information, do not accept anything + without checking it to the extent you are able, and then check it again + from another angle, if possible. + + UFO Magazine's opinion is that this field is fraught with enough + dangers; tread carefully while walking down this path. + + During this investigation UFO Magazine has found that much of + Cooper's material is entirely fabricated, lifted from others'work, or + facts he's selected and twisted to support his own story. Several times + Cooper has told those who have disagreed with him or questioned his + information, "I will crucify you. . ." At what point will someone allow + a demagogue to intimidate him or her into silence? At what point will + truth be the final casualty in a war of words with liars? + + I will report the truth as long as we publish, and if necessary + suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous slander. At some point the + public will learn that each demagogue DOES have his 15 minutes in the + sun, but then the public learns WHAT IS THE TRUTH. + + Don Ecker + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

FEDDUP + +This document is being distributed in order to bring to light and expose +one of the biggest charlatans ever to appear in the UFO community. While +most individuals in the UFO community are quite intelligent and perceptive +there are some who, for unknown reasons, continue to cling to or at least +indulge in the mad ravings of certain individuals no matter how blatant +these individuals' lying, disinformation, and outright criminal fraud +becomes. + +The charlatan in question here is one Milton William "Bill" Cooper. Bill +Cooper would undoubtedly be the hands-down winner of the bullshit and +golden shovel award, even over the likes of Phil Klass and George Bush. + +It is difficult to determine where to begin this investigative report +due to the numerous areas of plagiarism, lies and unfounded speculation +that have Mr. Cooper to thank as their source of origin. Let us begin, +however, with his Los Angeles appearance at Hollywood High School in +November of 1989 which will paint the first stroke on our portrait of +the mental imbalance of this man and the general fantasy world in which +he resides. + +Mr. Cooper was able to effectively promote his November 5th, 1989 lecture +by appearing on two radio talk shows in the Los Angeles area the week +prior to his event. In appearances on KFI-AM (The Tom Leykis Show) and +KIEV-AM (The Paul Wallach Show), Mr. Cooper spent much time plagiarizing +the work of others in the UFO and political fields, taking full credit +for the "revelations" he'd made. After pilfering others' information +and hard-earned investigative statistics, Mr. Cooper commonly weaves in +a few new observations or twists in order to leave his fingerprints on +the "revelation" and render the scenario just different enough to fool +the few audience members who might recognize the information from someone +else's research. + +During these radio appearances, Mr. Cooper tantalized the audience like +a professional snake oil salesman by regaling them with the tale of his +treasured video which clearly showed the driver of JFK's limousine, +William Greer, turn around and deliver the fatal head shot to the +president. + +As most of you probably know by now, Mr. Cooper's 5th-generation, black +& white video shown at Hollywood High is the poorest copy of the Zapruder +film ever to surface in a public venue. Anyone with any experience in +photo analysis, law enforcement, or basic military service (or even a +discriminating mind), would have instantly recognized that this copy was +definitely not one on which to base your decision one way or another. +As an interesting sidelight, the original owner of this film was Lars +Hanson who has stated several times that Mr. Cooper, without his +consent, had copied the film and was using it without his permission. +Interestingly, during his lecture, Mr. Cooper elected to turn down +Mr. Hanson's audio voice-over and gave him no credit for the film +leaving the audience to surmise that once again, "Scoop" Cooper had +gotten his hands on another top secret jewel from one of his endless +contacts "on the inside." Incidentally, at the time of Mr. Cooper's +November 5th presentation, Mr. Hanson had already discounted his prior +contention that the film demonstrated that Greer fired the final shot. + +However, Mr. Cooper, seeking to add credibility to his personal espousals +and his grainy video treasure (no doubt with the thought of future video +sales in mind), stated that while he worked for the Office of Naval +Intelligence from 1971 - 1973, he saw Top Secret paperwork which detailed +the planning and carrying out of JFK's assassination. Mr. Cooper stated, +"..and that secret paperwork stated that William Greer, using an +electronically triggered, gas-propelled assassination weapon, turned and +fired the fatal shot to the president. " + +At a later appearance at Beverly Hills High School, Mr. Cooper showed +another version of the Zapruder film which he had also plagiarized, this +version, plagiarized from Japan's Nippon Television, was still very grainy +despite the fact it was in color. After this and other Cooper appearances, +word began to gradually spread that he was making a lot of money and +defrauding a lot of people with his use and sale of his films. Mr. Hanson +even came forward to meet Mr. Cooper face to face on KFI radio (again +on The Tom Leykis Show) to publicly state that he (Hanson) and researcher +Bob Grodin had long since obtained a clear, colored version of the film. +He went on to offer his apologies but that, in reality, the object that +appears Greer has in his hands is actually the sun glinting off of the +car and a resulting reflection on Agent Kellerman's head. + +As anyone in the intelligence community could attest, it is absolutely +ludicrous that anything like the details of an assassination plot of a +head of state, let alone a U.S. president, would be committed to a written +form, thereby leaving a paper trail. Mr. Cooper continues to refuse to +admit to his asinine and blatant lies regarding the "secret papers" he +claims to have seen between 1971 and 1973 which stated that Greer was +the main assassin. + +Whereas many intelligent and well-informed people had listened to and +believed Mr. Cooper and his stories, as his tales began to unravel, they +sought out the truth on their own. Finally, last year, both Current Affair +and Hard Copy aired the original, uncut, colored, crystal-clear version +of the Zapruder film. Thus many individuals who had been deceived by +Mr. Cooper's dog and pony show were finally able to see how badly they +had been taken in. + +In this extremely clear copy shown on national television, it is clear +that Mr. Greer (JFK's limousine driver) broke every security precaution +and procedure by slowing the limousine to a crawl at the time of the +assassination. This move by Greer most likely was a deliberate act as +his personal assignment in the conspiracy to kill the president by the +U.S. Military Industrial Complex and others. However, IT IS CLEAR that +Mr. Greer's hands never leave the steering wheel. He turns to look back +at the President twice. On the second turn, Agent Kellerman leans forward +into the picture and and at the same moment, Greer is turned looking back +at Kennedy as sunlight shines on Agent Kellerman's forehead and top of +his head. As men's hair cream was in style at that time, it is obvious +Kellerman's hair is "slick and wet looking" thus creating the bright +reflection off the top of his head which Mr. Cooper claims is a weapon. + +<< Illustration omitted >> + +On many occasions, some of Mr. Cooper's friends and associates have +attempted to point out the true nature of this "weapon" to him, only to +be met with outright hostility and barrages of insults and accusations +that they had been fooled by or were working for the CIA. As many in +the community know, being labeled an agent of the CIA by Mr. Cooper in +his paranoid musings is considered a badge of honor of sorts as obviously +the individual has struck a nerve in Mr. Cooper -- either threatening +to expose his lack of veracity, or worse, to enlighten the misled +individuals who continue to contribute money to his "cause" by attending +his lectures, purchasing his books, tapes, etc. + +Also at his November 5, 1989 appearance, Mr. Cooper made the ridiculous +claim that a recent launching of a satellite which had a propulsion and +fuel base of plutonium, was in actuality an Ultra Secret mission and part +of the treaty our government made with the "evil' Grays (aliens). He +stated that the object was only disguised as a satellite but was in +actuality a device which, after it entered Jupiter's atmosphere, would +utilize the on-board plutonium to detonate and thereby ignite the gases +of Jupiter. This would create a second star along with the Sun. This +was necessary, Cooper stated, because the Grays come from a binary star +system and through agreements with the U.S. Government, these gray boogey +men were going to get a new binary system to travel to or utilize. As +usual, Mr. Cooper went on to state that he had seen this in Top Secret +paperwork. + +As if this scenario weren't already hysterical enough, Mr. Cooper went +on to state that the paperwork said a name had already been selected for +the "new star" . The name would be "Lucifer" . Anyone with a fourth grade +education in science would immediately realize they were dealing with +either a typical CIA attempt to insert another kook into the UFO community +or with some kind of illogical, mentally deranged, far-right Christian +striving to manipulate the public into subscribing to his fundamentalist +philosophy -- the kind who give good christians a bad name. + +As evidenced, there were as many things that were not on the level that +evening of November 5. Attendees should have been wary when they +discovered Mr. Cooper's first fraudulent manipulation upon arrival at +the event. When Mr. Cooper appeared on the two L.A. radio talk shows +to promote his upcoming event at Hollywood High, he twice stated on KFI +and once on KIEV that anyone interested in seeing his Kennedy assassination +film (which would prove that Kennedy's limousine driver turned and +delivered the fatal shot) was invited to attend the November 5 program +FOR FREE. Mr. Cooper stated his belief that everyone had the right as +an American to see the truth about who killed their president. Thus, +many of the attendees that evening were shocked to find out that a +mandatory $15.00 "donation" was due and payable at the door before entry +was granted to the event. + +This is not the only time Mr. Cooper's true colors were displayed. Fans +and regular listeners to the old Billy Goodman Happening radio program +out of KVEG-AM Las Vegas may remember the evening when Mr. Cooper was +a guest (as he was on many occasions) and he took an on-air phone call +from a 12-year-old fan of Mr. Goodman's show by the name of Brian Enmann +(sp.). This boy, as was clear to Mr. Cooper since they had previously +spoken on the air on several occasions, was a frequent caller to the show +and was the founder and president of The Billy Goodman Happening youth +group . + +The young man called to say that on two occasions he had sent Mr. Cooper +money for the Kennedy tape and some paperwork he was offering but he was +concerned because he had not received anything back. The boy went on +to politely inquire if Mr. Cooper had received either of his requests +or what the delay might be. + +Mr. Cooper immediately, as usual, went on the attack and in a raised voice +questioned the fact that this young man had ever even sent him any order. +When the boy assured him that, yes, he had paid for the package twice, +Mr. Cooper, coming from an obviously paranoid and guilt-ridden personality, +then asked young Brian, "Did you send the fee in cash?" The young man +answered honestly, "Yes, I did." Much to the listener's horror, Mr. +Cooper's guilt-ridden reply was, "Well, anyone with half a brain knows +never to send cash in the mail." Why is that, Mr. Cooper? Could it be +you asked the question so knowingly beeause the modus operandi of crooks +and charlatans like yourself is to open the envelopes, pocket the cash +and then deny it was ever received? Then, of course, the standard defense +is to question, "Did you send cash?" + +What a demonstration of Mr. Cooper's great compassion for a young man +who until that moment had been one of his greatest supporters. Mr. Cooper +ended the conversation by telling young Brian that it was just too bad, +but he would suggest that he send his payment in again, this time with +his parent's check or a money order. Out of all the money he was already +making on his plagiarized tapes, not to mention charging $15.00 a head +all across the country to view his "exclusive" tape, it was appalling +that Mr. Cooper would treat a supporter in this manner, let alone a +youngster. + +To demonstrate just how delusional and dishonest Mr. Cooper is, let us +now bring to light two events of which anyone who closely follows the +UFO community will be aware. Let's start with the first appearance of +Mr. Robert Lazar on The Billy Goodman Happening show. After an incredible +interview with Mr. Lazar, the last caller on the show (as was frequently +the case) was Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper had a habit of calling in at the +end of the show in order to monopolize the last 15 or 20 minutes of the +program. Mr. Goodman had complained about this habit of Mr. Cooper's +to people who were close to the show. + +Mr. Cooper called to congratulate Mr. Lazar for coming forward and offer +complete support for Mr. Lazar and his efforts. He stated that he had +checked out Mr. Lazar through sources of his in the intelligence community +and they assured him that Lazar was indeed who he said he was and had +worked where he said he worked. Mr. Cooper then declared that he would +vouch for Mr. Lazar's story being unequivocally 100 percent true. + +Lazar then stated in his own words "Gee, Bill, I didn't know you did +that." Mr. Cooper replied, "Well, of course we did. We couldn't just +believe anyone who came out of the closet like that with your kind of +information." As they ended the phone interview, Mr. Cooper again +reiterated his support for Bob Lazar and stated that he knew everything +that Lazar had said was true. + +Unfortunately, after Mr. Cooper's initial praises of him, Lazar soon became +an additional target for Mr. Cooper's wild machinations. In one of his +newsletters, Mr. Cooper gave false claims regarding Lazar's involvement +in running a drug lab for the manufacture of methamphetamines. This claim +was a complete fabrication. To Mr. Lazar's credit, he did not bother +to elevate Mr. Cooper's claim to his level by even attempting to address +what could only be described as an insane accusation, regardless of +anyone's view as to the veracity of Lazar's story of his involvement at +the Top Secret facility in the Nevada desert. + +It was during Lazar's second appearance on the Goodman Happening that +his friend, Gene Huff, called through to state that there were obvious +problems between Lazar and Mr. Cooper and some of their information seemed +to contradict each other's. As listeners of the show will remember, Mr. +Cooper flew into a tirade, stating that he demanded Bob Lazar appear on +the radio show to contradict what Gene Huff had said because there was +absolutely no disagreement between them or their respective information. + +At this point, Mr. Huff remarked that a scientist working at the Groom +Lake site would obviously have a virtually infinite amount of personal +knowledge about what was going on there as opposed to a former naval petty +officer who had only worked with Naval Intelligence for a short time as +a briefing team member; and at that, as only an audio-visual department +aid for the briefing team. + +At this, Mr. Cooper became even more irate and denied knowing where Huff +was coming from. As he is known to do, Mr. Cooper immediately began to +accuse Huff and Billy Goodman of setting him up. He then repeated his +demand that Lazar appear on Billy Goodman's show to meet him one on one +so they could "go at it." + +Many of you remember what occurred on the next evening of Billy's +show. Mr. Lazar was the first caller to get through to Mr. Goodman. +Lazar stated that he had not put Gene up to the call the night before, +and was in fact asleep and thus not even aware that Gene was calling. +Mr. Lazar tried to cut back on some of the criticisms Mr. Huff had made +the previous night. It was known, however, to many of those behind the +scenes of Mr. Goodman's show as well as those in the inner circle of +UFO researchers, that many appeals had been made the previous night and +that morning to Huff, Lazar and Cooper to please not air this type of +dirty laundry as it gives everyone in the UFO community a bad name. + +In actuality, what Mr. Huff had stated the night before was indeed true +as Mr. Lazar had several problems with some of Mr. Cooper's facts, as +well he should have. Nevertheless, for the sake of the UFO community +Mr. Lazar capitulated and apologized to Mr. Cooper on the air, stating +that he hoped everyone would be able to get along so the investigation +on this issue could proceed, because the last thing this community needed +was to be involved in yet another dispute between researchers. So, again, +it was Lazar who made the effort to patch up this delicate situation and +Mr. Cooper who approached it with a rabid, foaming-at-the mouth attitude. + +The second area in which Mr. Cooper has frequently displayed his awesome +powers of inconsistency is in regard to his Top Secret "Bible". Some +of the UFO community will note that when Mr. Cooper first appeared in +public with his revelations, he produced a paper consisting of five papers +concerning information of a Top Secret nature that he had seen while +working in his division of Naval Intelligence between 1971 to 1973. In +this paperwork, Mr. Cooper stated that he was privy to information on +a variety of issues. + +Although the paperwork consisted of a scant five pages at Mr. Cooper's +"coming out party", contrary to Mr. Cooper's repeated statements he issues +each time he produces a new addendum to the file that IT WAS THE END - +he had finally finished it, the document is now in excess of 100 pages, +and no doubt this figure will increase even after this paper is produced. +Of course, many of Cooper's devotees have willingly paid for each addendum +in the mistaken belief that they had the whole truth, and nothing but +the truth. + +Mr. Cooper also stated for the record on many occasions, that this +paperwork that he had originally seen was smuggled out of Top Secret files +in his lunchbox, a statement he reiterated in his book 'Behold a Pale Horse.' +If this is true, no matter what your feeling or what your view concerning +an individual interested in this subject, Mr. Cooper broke the law and +Mr. Cooper should be responsible for espionage if these Top Secret papers +were indeed stolen. Also, if these papers were truly in his possession +after smuggling them out, why hasn't he copied them and distributed them +to others? None of the paperwork that Mr. Cooper extracts from his Top +Secret treasure chest is new as it has been revealed before and is almost +always the property of other researchers. + +Another item of interest is regarding Mr. Cooper's prosthesis. During +his Hollywood High School seminar and other presentations, he has stated +that he lost his leg when two government aaents in a large black car ran +him off a cliff while he was riding his motorcycle. He stated that due +to blood loss and the extent of damage to his leg, it had to be amputated. +In an attempt to verify any of the claims made by Mr. Cooper during his +Hollywood High seminar, an investigation was conducted by private +investigators which encompassed looking into the accident itself and how +Mr. Cooper lost his leg. It is interesting to note that in the report +made at the hospital regarding his accident, as well as in subsequent +reports made by law enforcement personnel, in spite of the fact Mr. Cooper +made a brief mention of his big black car scenario, the law enforcement +officers made it clear that Mr. Cooper reeked of alcohol and it was obvious +that the story was fabricated by Mr. Cooper to protect himself. + +In actuality, their reports state that Mr. Cooper had been involved in +an accident that was self-inflicted due to his being in what obviously +had to be a very drunken state the previous night in order for him to +still be smelling of alcohol the following day. + +However, by Mr. Cooper s own admission, and again in contradiction of +his prior and subsequent statements, Mr. Cooper would have everyone believe +that this running off the road was done by government agents in retribution +for some infraction he committed by going forward to the public with his +information. The interesting thing here is that Mr. Cooper, on many occasions, +including on The Billy Goodman Happening, has stated emphatically that the +government *does not* practice revenge. Which is it, Mr. Cooper? + +Another interesting connection with alcohol and blind accusations being +flung out on the airwaves, was Mr. Cooper's attack on Capt. Bill English +on the Billy Goodman Happening, resulting in a legal dispute over +slanderous comments made about English by Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper again +demonstrated his lack of class by making wild accusations about English, +vhom he had previously supported. It is interesting to note that Mr. +Cooper attempted to portray Capt. English as a desperate alcoholic and +thus one who should be discredited and disbelieved. + +Mr. Cooper's ploy of attacking others' credibility by accusing them of +alcoholism is ironic because Mr. Cooper himself is a long-time sufferer +of the same disease. This affliction is undoubtedly at least partially +responsible for his delusions of grandeur. Many of those who are familiar +with Mr. Cooper or have heard him speak, know that he generally will arrive +at the lecture or seminar reeking obviously of hard alcohol. Many have +noted that during the intermission or after lectures, the smell of alcohol +is present in the air up to six feet away from Mr. Cooper at any one time. +the most recent demonstrations of this in Southern California occurred +during his presentation at the Los Angeles UFOrum meeting last year and +again this year at a presentation in San Diego. Also during this San +Diego meeting, Mr. Cooper, in an inebriated state, started a brawl between +himself and another UFO researcher by publicly taking a swing at him. + +Additionally, he has left many drunken threats and paranoid ramblings +on assorted answering machines of others in the UFO community. It is +also a fact that he has been the subject of several law enforcement +investigations concerning complaints of domestic violence against his +wife, both while he was a former resident of California and now several +times in Arizona where he currently resides. + +The accusations and attacks by Mr. Cooper on all who dare to disagree +with him spew forth from him in a seemingly never-ending stream. As was +so clearly noted by reporter George Knapp of KLAS-TV in Las Vegas in his +program 'UFO's: The Best Evidence', these individuals are immediately labeled +by Mr. Cooper as frauds, phonies and/or members of the Central Intelligence +Agency or the government complex desiring to discredit him. John Lear, +Don Ecker, Vicki Cooper, Bob Lazar, Gene Huff, Budd Hopkins, Stanton +Friedman, Bill Moore, Jaime Shandera, George Knapp, Craig Hewlett, Linda +Moulton Howe, Tony Pelham, Bruce MacCabee and a multitude of others (with +the list growing daily), have all been labeled by Mr. Cooper as frauds +and agents of the CIA. + +The incredible thing is that some of these individuals Mr. Cooper labels +as intelligence agents, were some of his biggest supporters in the +beginning. This is especially true of Mr. Lear, who was instrumental +in bringing Mr. Cooper out and introducing him to the UFO community. + +One story you may be familiar with is when Mr. Cooper, as usual, made +an ass of himself in an interview discussing the subject of O.H. Krill . +The origin of the O.H. Krill document is well known in the UFO community +It was originally put together by UFO researcher John Grace who heads +the Nevada Aerial Research Organization. Grace, as well as John Lear, +have stated that they selected the title as an inside joke. + +One evening during a television interview of Mr. Cooper, Lear overhead +Mr. Cooper use the O.H Krill name and mention the fact that he had first +seen this document while working for the Office of Naval Intelligence +in the early 1970's. As Mr. Lear has related, he immediately pulled Mr. +Cooper aside and quietly told him, "Bill, O.H. Krill is a joke! John Grace +and I used Krill from Bob Emenegger's special 'UFO's: It Has Begun' because +of a woman who allegedly channeled an entity named CRYLLL. Grace just +pulled the O.H. out of thin air!" Mr. Cooper instantly unleashed his +hostile self and in his usual denial of reality, replied that Lear was +mistaken, insisting that he had seen it in 1972 while working for Naval +Intelligence. + +Although Mr. Cooper tries to portray his job for Naval Intelligence as +something quite illustrious, in reality his duties consisted of nothing +more than setting up audio-visual equipment and passing out paperwork +to the Pacific Fleet briefing teams. + +Another of Mr. Cooper's inconsistencies is that he is continuously publicly +declaring his full support of individuals and their information after +he reveals that his sources have given them and their information a full +clearance after a thorough "background check". Inevitably, Mr. Cooper +later turns on these individuals and declares them a fraud and/or an +intelligence agent after they have had some disagreement with him or he +with them regarding some particular area of their research. Of particular +interest is the fact that Mr. Cooper's claimed intelligence contacts are +obviously as lacking in credibility as he is since their "thorough +background checks" inevitably prove wrong. This clearly illustrates that +Mr. Cooper's connections to the intelligence exist in his mind only. + +In concluding this point, when one of the authors had a recent dinner +with a professional investigative journalist a serious, yet somewhat +humorous observation was made. When the subject came up of one of Mr. +Cooper's drunken acts at a recent UFO event, the author stated to the +journalist, "You know, you're about the only person I know who is yet +to be labeled a fraud, phony or agent of the secret government by Bill +Cooper." To which the journalist replied, "Yes, but the day that Mr. +Cooper shines his spotlight of accusations of being a fraud or government +agent on me is the day I will feel satisfied that I ve reached the level +of respect and dignity of all the others on his "list" . *Then* I'll know +I've _really_ made it big." + +This treatise could go on to fill a book but it is the purpose of the +authors to expose this man for what he is, or shall we say, WHAT HE IS +NOT. Mr. Cooper is most definitely not any kind of serious researcher +or someone truly involved with or having contacts in the intelligence +community as he would have everyone believe. A few Top Secret papers +supposedly smuggled out in a lunchbox and a few stolen and altered items +of others' research even after the ladling on of a gravy of incredible +embellishments, do not a UFO or government-coverup researcher make. + +In summation, Mr. Cooper's current status is persona non grata in the +UFO community. His audiences these days can best be placed into two +categories. The first consists of those who are well-meaning, but +unfortunately innocent and therefore gullible individuals who are newly +interested in this field. The second group consists of those individuals +who either know or are basically familiar with the Bill Cooper story and +are aware of his reputation as a violent, fragile personality, but for +their own reasons continue to attend his lectures to hear yet another +fabricated chapter be added to his oft-times "complete" life story. + +His attraction can be compared to that of a Circus Freak Show. One never +knows what to expect to exit from his mouth, whether it's a 180 degree turn +on a subject from a previous lecture (witness his revelation that the +Roswell crash was not an extra-terrestrial craft because the +"hieroglyphics" found on the crossbeams were actually Japanese writing), +or some brand new jewel that he somehow "forgot" to mention from his long +and distinguished career as "AV Boy" for a Naval Briefing Team. + +In conclusion, if anyone in the UFO community best demonstrates the +qualifications for a person involved in spreading disinformation, it is +Mr. Cooper. The sad thing is that it's not even disinformation of a +government agent, just the ramblings of a pathetic, disillusioned, paranoid +alcoholic. As investigative reporter George Knapp stated in a letter +to Michael Corbin (director of ParaNet), "Bill Cooper wouldn't know the +truth if it jumped up and bit him in the ass..." This pathological liar +only serves to hurt the UFO issue as a whole as Mr. Cooper is the perfect +poster boy for those skeptics who view the field as ripe with charlatans +and crackpots. + +We will end this paper on what we regard as perhaps the most intriquing +of items on Mr. Cooper. During a very recent talk-show interview in the +state in which he now resides (Arizona), Mr. Cooper stated the following +(unedited): + +Cooper: + +"Number 1: People aren't capable of performing the very basic thought +processes that are necessary to bring that about. Number 2: They +don't want to know what the true facts are because then that makes +them responsible to do something about it and they don't want to +be responsible. And Number 3: As long as they have a chicken in +the pot and T.V. in their living room they're not going to give a +damn about *anything* . + +So, really what I've wrestled with the most in the past year is +whether or not to join the other side, to tell you quite frankly, +because I don't want to be one of the cattle being led to slaughter. +Somebody's going to be led to slaughter and if they're going to do +it willingly and stupidly, then I want to be one of the ones with +the cattle prod, you know? I have to say that and I struggle with +it all the time and so far haven't done it, but if it turns out that +the common man is really that stupid on a day-to-day basis, then +it means that those who are manipulating the world and controlling +the world are absolutely right and somebody has to herd these people +and take care of them or they'll destroy the world." + +Interviewer: + +"Well, one question that comes to mind right here for me is..the +other side, on the inside know what you're talking about, but do you or +have you had opportunities to literally do anything for the other +side -- work for the other side or whatever or have you had offers, +uh, as being an asset in any way, or you may not even say that if +it had occurred." + +C. : "No, no, if that were the case I would be the first one to say it. +When I was working for the Office of Naval Intelligence, of course +I was working for the other side. ALL the intelligence organizations +are working for the other side to bring about a One World government. +That started on the day that Truman signed the U.N. Treaty and the +U.N. Participation Act and that's what the whole National Security +Act -- that's what it was created for, to bring about One World +government in secret and that's why they'll -" + +I. : "It looks like we're heading that way right now anyway." + +C. : "We certainly are. No, no one's ever offered, uh, to give me any +money or to, uh, for me to do anything for them, or - + +I. : "Bring this man in out of the cold, the old scenario." + +C. : "Uh, no, but I'd be willing to sit down and talk with them about +it." (Laughs). + +I. : "I'm sure you would." + +C. : "I certainly would.' + +In parting, some may wonder why Mr. Cooper has not been approached by +the other side, as he obviously would _love_ to join them. Mr. Cooper and +readers of this expose can solve this puzzle by asking themselves, if +an individual is doing any number or even one of the types of things Mr. +Cooper has done why in the world would the other side ask an idiot like +that to join its ranks? This is especially a ridiculous consideration +when Mr. Cooper is already doing so well at making any of our side who +still attend his lectures, call his 900 number, or subscribe to his +newsletter look like complete fools by the fact they are still giving +this lunatic their hard-earned money. + +SHAME ON YOU Mr. Cooper for wishing you could wield the cattle prod on +the other side someday, but please be expedient in doing so. Then it +will be crystal clear to your few remaining devotees which side you are +really on. And then when THINGS do come down we'll have a great target +to first SET OUR SIGHTS ON!

Unlike William Cooper, I can prove this identity. I have + been a Pilot for more than 30 years. My assignments have taken me all + over the globe including Africa, Asia, Middle East, Latin America, et + al. Much of this time has been spent out in the open under the stars. + I have never witnessed a UFO in the classic saucer sense, but I + believe they exist nevertheless (Even Jimmy Carter says so). While in + England, enroute to Bangladesh, I bought and read Above Top Secret, + which strengthened my personal convictions. + + This past month the Association of Former Intelligence Officers and + National Intelligence Counter Intelligence Association included UFO + reports (Belgian Air Force Colonel Wilfried de Brouwer) in their + monthly INSUMS (Intelligence Summaries). + + As a Chemical, Biological, Nuclear trained officer, I know that + "the" government lied about gassing sheep in Montana with GB-Agent, + infecting San Francisco with a virus, and the proposed use of + underground nuclear demolitions to construct a new canal in + Nicaragua. They denied Frank Powers U-2 over Russia, SR-71, and + Stealth. Why wouldn't they cover-up UFOs (classic or otherwise)? + + I obviously don't know much about flying saucers, even though I + have more than a dozen friends, including pilots, who are eye + witnesses to UFO sightings. I know a lot more about people and I + certainly know the intelligence system. I have examined military + records on Bill Cooper. I have spoken with him and listened to him on + telephone recorded audio tape. I feel compelled to add my opinion to + that of George Knapp, Ed De Mar and others. I am absolutely convinced + that Cooper is a charlatan. There is no doubt that he has information + concerning government cover-up, which is easily vacuumed from the + presentations and publications of others. + + When I retumed from Burma's Golden Triangle with videotape of + overlord Khun Sa accusing U.S. officials of being his best customers, + Cooper started saying that drugs were funding the secret government + UFO campaign. + + Only God and Cooper know if he actually observed a UFO, but I don't + buy his story about being a part of Naval Intelligence. I have a Top + Secret Crypto clearance with access to Special Intelligence, which is + clearly imprinted on my records. None of the Cooper file shows him to + have these basic intelligence clearances, without which he would be + denied access to classified materials. + + I also have been granted coded clearances which open doors when + combined with a "need to know" to highly selected ''compartments'' of + information. If Cooper were real, he would have long ago referenced + the proper codes that deal with information he says was available to + him. I believe Bill Cooper is a fraud. There is enough wrong with the + government. Cooper types only hurt honest efforts to gain truth. His + fare would be more accurately billed as ''entertainment.'' + + As Chief of Special Activities on the Army General Staff, I + regularly briefed the U.S. Army Chief of Staff and the other + generals. I know and have experience working with Admiral Isaac Kidd + (former Commander in Chief, Atlantic) and his staff. + + There were no enlisted men on the "briefing team." Field grade + officers (Major and up) normally furnish information to these key + decision makers. Classifed information is carefully guarded, + especially the compartmented information that Cooper refers to. + + Without the proper coded access and a need to know, you don't get + in! + + I don't buy Bill's "testing" the government by mixing up code names + (Majestic vis Majority). Every time someone produces information + contradicting Cooper, he changes, adds to, or reveals yet another + personal revelation he read in the cloaked documents way back when. + St. John should have had such access. Cooper has more twists than a + snake. He is also dangerous. I listened to a telephone answer tape + wherein Cooper badgered, bribed, threatened, cried, and then later + allegedly slashed the tires on a man's car. + + Cooper talks and acts like a number of other fakes I know. They + seem to want someone, anyone, to do anything that might threaten them + since to be that important would enhance their own self-image. In the + absence of real threats they conjure them up. I don't begrudge + whatever popularity or success he may garner- that is show biz. But I + do feel he is hurting the credibility and honesty of sincere + researchers at a time when we are facing a true peril from within. + The secret government needs to be exposed and expunged before it + turns us into economic slaves through King George's "New World + Order.''

Different. + + That conversation was interrupted when the officers were sent to check + a report of two men running around outside in their underwear at 18th + and J streets. Odd. + + Then while Munn and Clarke were driving to the area, in seperate + cruisers, both saw an object high up in the sky with a tail of fire + and colored lights flickering at its base. As it passed in their line + of sight behind the state Capitol, it disintegrated in a spectrum of + colors, kind of like a fireworks display. Whoaaaa - VERY strange. + + "It was so bizarre," Munn said. "We were sitting there thinking, + `What's going to happen next?'" Both got on the radio and said, "Did + you see that?" + + The officers talked to a resident concerning the reported disturbance + - who also happened to see the strange flying object - but didn't find + any men running around in their underwear. + + Munn was curious enough about what he saw to call the Lincoln + Municipal Airport to see if they'd picked up anything on radar. He was + told he'd have to call Omaha about that. He wasn't that curious. + + But at the end of his shift, Munn returned to the department and + learned that four other officers had seen the object. + + The incident was reported to Scott Colborn by the resident to whom + police talked at 18th and J streets. + + Colborn, director of the Fortean Research Center which investigates, + studies and collects information on logic-defying occurances, called + Dr. John Kasher. A physics professor at the University of Nebraska at + Omaha, Kasher is the head of the state chapter of the Mutual UFO + Network. Kasher said he plans to investigate to see if there is a + plausible explanation for the sighting. + + Munn is sure there is, though he believes in the concept of UFOs. + + "But to describe it as a flying saucer or extraterrestrial, no," he + said. "But, who knows?" + + At first, he said, he thought it was a plane crashing but it was too + high in the sky for that. + + His best guess: space junk or possibly some kind of comet. + + A caller to a local radio station suggested it was caused by the + recent earthquake in California.

A compass needle was said to spin +rapidly outside the ring but was unaffected inside it. +In Granum, Alta., witnesses reported a UFO landed in front of a +firehall. After it left, an area of "bleached" soil was found. +A perfectly circular ring of mashed grass was sighted in Dandridge, +Tenn. Cattle appeared to shy away and those that ventured near +were said to have become sick. A police officer says he filmed a +UFO in the sky not far from the site two months earlier. +Crop circles first gained notoriety in England, where numerous +rings have materialized over the last few years. +But a celebrated incident last year left many convinced they were +all a hoax. Two painters who claimed they were responsible for +making many of the circles crafted a new one and invited expert +Pat Delgado to investigate. +Delgado confidently declared that no human could have had a hand in +its creation. +Even Rutkowski, who also prepares an annual report on UFO sightings +in Canada, estimates as many as 90 per cent of the crop designs +are likely hoaxes. +The fakes probably include complex sets of circles and corridors +flattened into fields in Coalhurst, N.S., and Jonesboro, Ga., last +year, he said. +In 1990, an investigation discovered that a crudely made circle in +a field near Glenlea, Man., was the work - not of extraterrestials +- but of a rather earthly farm hand riding a garden tractor. +But Rutkowski noted some respected scientists believe that unusual +weather formations - called wind vortexes - could cause some of +the circles. +And if pranksters are responsible for most of the circles, there is +still the question of motive. Some researchers have proposed a +"conspiracy theory," Rutkowski said. +Messing with minds +"Somebody is trying to convince us that aliens are trying to +communicate with us through these markings in the fields," he +explained. +"Some rich group of businessmen are trying to mess with our minds +... It could be pure foolishness, it could be somebody is trying +to shape our thinking." +Just over half the incidents outlined in Rutkowski's 1991 report +occurred in the U.S. +Alberta led Canada with 34 markings, while Illinois, with 32, and +Oklahoma, with 54, were the American crop-circle heartlands. + +U.S. sighting of "crop circles' renews debate +Are they a hoax or the work of advanced aliens? +09/20/92 +SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER + +TROY, Ill. - Large doughnut-shaped depressions have +mysteriously appeared in a marsh near Troy, and some +experts on "crop circles" say they bear similarities to +the odd designs and circles found in fields around the +world. +But they disagree strongly on whether there is some +strange phenomenon at work or just pranksters. +Joe Nickell, an investigative writer who has studied +paranormal matters, said last week that he had concluded +that the hundreds of circles reported in England, Canada, +Japan, Australia, the United States and other countries +were made by people - not weird space creatures. +"Crop-circle phenomenon, as we know it, is a hoax +phenomenon - pure and simple," he said. +Not so, says Linda Moulton Howe of Huntingdon Valley, Pa., +an independent producer and writer who made a television +documentary for the Fox Network called "UFO Report: +Sightings" and wrote a book called "An Alien Harvest." +Howe, who was in England studying circles there earlier +this summer, said the charges that they all are hoaxes +have been discredited. She said the worst hoax was the +claim by two landscapers that they had made all the +circles for 13 years as a prank. +A businessman near Troy says two circular depressions 35 +and 40 feet across appeared the past two years in a marsh +near his property south of Troy. +The businessman - Peter Bostrom, owner of the Lithic +Casting Lab - took pictures of the circles and had the +plants in them studied by experts. Scientists said there +was no apparent explanation for the significant +structural and chemical changes they found. +A biophysicist said he could re-create the effect only +with a rapid application of heat. +Bostrom said he was convinced the circles were not a hoax. +No natural forces such as wind or water could have swept so +uniformly over the tall plants - called sweet flag - while +leaving adjacent stands of cattails and sedge untouched, +he insisted. +But Nickell, whose books include an inquiry about the +controversial shroud of Turin and who teaches technical +writing at the University of Kentucky, said people have +re-created the circles that others claim were made by some +powerful force such as an alien space ship. +Those who believed in the circles held a contest in +England in July, Nickell said, and watched as hoaxers +faithfully re-created dozens of patterns. +He said the description of the circles at Troy offered +some unusual characteristics.

[Suck-Suck] + + Daniel Rebisso Giese + Grupo Ufologico da Amazonia (GUA) + + +INTRODUCTION --- In the decade of the 70s, strange phenomena began to +occur on the coast and interior of the states of Para' and Maranha~o. News +came from all parts and the depositions were unanimous: mysterious light +beams, projected from unidentified flying objects, which in the majority of +cases appeared at night, burning men and women. Chasing people, taking blood +from its victims, originating the expression "CHUPA-CHUPA," a name by which +the phenomenon became popularly known. In other regions, principally in +Maranha~o, the phenomenon became known by the name "APARELHO." + + The phenomenon, in spite of a long hatching period, manifested itself +with such force and consistency never before seen in the history of the +national Ufology. In a few short weeks, the news ran throughout the entire +States of Para' and Maranha~o, taking the population by surprise, generating +a climate of terror and collective panic. Motivated by curiosity and with the +objective to shed light on the Chupa-Chupa mystery, we undertook a research +which took us to several counties of Para'. We entertained but, due to our +modest financial resources, and available time, it was not possible for us to +cover all of Para' and Maranha~o. We hope that in the near future someone +will be able to complete this research. + + What we will be exposing in this article won't consist of fables created +by backwoodsmen or diverse residents of the interior and coast of Para'. We +will be faithful to the facts and rendered depositions. Each interview was +taken with attention and care. This way, we selected the most coherent +reports, whose relationships with other depositions, added to the competence +of the testimonials, constituted bearing elements. The objective of this work +is to trace a real picture and an historical outline of one of the most +impressive ufological manifestations which we could know. + +NEWSPAPER ANNOUNCEMENTS --- The first part of this research constitutes a +bibliographical survey of all articles and reports published in the +periodicals of Para' such as A PROVINCIA DO PARA', O LIBERAL, and ESTADO DO +PARA'. However, the same was not possible, for the reasons previously +described, with the press of Maranha~o. We read all the articles of the cited +periodicals and feel that the press of Para' related in a very interesting +form the development of the Chupa-Chupa phenomenon. All of the articles were +heavily illustrated and taken at the locations of incidence, together with +the testimonials... If today we are able to reconstitute this ufological +wave, it is due to the press and the care of the Public Library of Bele'm. + + Several ufological news forecasted the Chupa-Chupa wave, but the most +significant article was in O LIBERAL, 7-16-77, where we read: + + "The UFO photographed in Montevideo, spherical shape, compares in + detail with the strange objects seen at several locations in Para', + along the Maranha~o side of the Gurupi River and along the entire + Para'-Maranha~o border. Just yesterday, these objects were observed + at several locations in the interior of Maranha~o, frightening the + population, similar to what occurs in the area of Vizeu in Para'." + + A few days before, precisely on 7-12-77, the JORNAL DA BAHIA reported in +a clear manner what would become the phenomenon Chupa-Chupa: + + "Flying object which emits fantastic light frightens Para': Bele'm + (AJB) --- A fantastic story of a flying object emitting a strong + light and sucking blood from people, circulated from mouth to mouth + among the population of the counties of Braganca, Vizeu and Augusto + Correa in Para', where many people fear leaving their homes during + the night so they won't get caught by the vampire-like light from + the strange object which, according to information, already has + caused the death of two men. No one knows how the story started, + but the truth is that it reached Bele'm and grabbed headlines in + the local newspapers." + + + Months later, on October 8, O LIBERAL launched the first in a series of +reports, giving the population knowledge of what was the Chupa-Chupa +phenomenon. The report begins in a taxing manner: + + "Sucking animal attacks men and women in the village of Vigia: A + strange phenomenon has been occurring for several weeks in the + village of Vigia, more exactly in the Vila Santo Antonio do + Imbituba about 7 kilometers from highway PA-140, with the + appearance of an object which focus a white light over people, + immobilizing them for around an hour, and sucks the breasts of the + women leaving them bleeding. The object, known by the locals as + "Bicho Voador" [Flying Animal], or "Bicho Sugador" [Sucking + Animal], has the shape of a rounded ship and attacks people + (principally women) in isolation, in spite of it also having + attacked some men... One of the victims, among many in the area, + was Mrs. Rosita Ferreira, married, 46 years old, resident of Ramal + do Triunfo, who a few days ago was sucked by the light on the left + breast, and passed out. Increasingly it looked like dealing with a + nightmare, feeling as if there were some claws trying to hold her. + She was attacked around 3:30 in the morning. Another victim was the + lady known as "Chiquita," who was also sucked by the strange object + with her breast becoming bloody, but without leaving any marks." + +CHUPA-CHUPA --- It was then on 10-16-77, that O LIBERAL launched for the +first time the expression "Chupa-Chupa," as we read in the first paragraph of +this report: + + "Chupa-Chupa: That was the denomination given by the population of + Vigia to an unidentified flying object, which has brought to panic + the dwellers of Imbituba, Camaru and Km-25, as well as other + localities situated in the vicinity of those cities." + + Henceforth, until the end of mid-november 1977, the newspapers of Para' +did not seize to bring to the public articles on the Chupa-chupa. The +newspaper A PROVINCIA DO PARA' brought, on 10-20-77, 11-19-77 and 11-20-77, +valuable reports for ufological investigation. On October 20 there were two +full pages with popular depositions, graphics of UFO evolution in the skies +of Vigia and the strange CI 2 [Hynek's CE-I] occurrence with colonist Manoel +Matos de Souza (known by Coronha), registered in the small village of Monte +Serrado, county of Santo Antonio de Taua' (PA). This farmer, 44 years old, +was awaken around 2 to 3 am by a strong light which circled his area and +penetrated his shack. On opening the door, he met with a flying object with +two creatures in its interior. He returned to this room, and now armed with +ammunition, he tried to fire in the vehicle's direction. To his surprise, the +weapon did not fire and, feeling paralysis overcoming his body by the light +from the UFO, screamed for help. + + On 11-19-77, A PROVINCIA DO PARA' published, for the first time, +photographs of possible lesions of chupa-chupa, registered on the young +Aurora Nascimento Fernandes, 18 years old, resident at Passagem Tabatinga, in +the Jurunas neighborhood (Bele'm). Aurora found herself washing dishes around +9 p.m. on 11-18-77 in her home when a strong gush of cold air surprised her +in conjunction with a strong, reddish light. The young lady relates: + + "I became frightened. I called my mother and before she arrived, a + strong red light enveloped me, making me dazed. At the same time, + I felt really fine piercings striking my breast, and fell to the + floor fainted." + +Afterwards, Dr. Orlando Zoghbi, after seeing the patient, framed the fact as +an episode of hysteria and panic produced by the collective psychosis around +the Chupa-chupa phenomenon. According to Dr. Zoghbi by the configuration of +the marks, the wounds present on Aurora's right breast were caused by the +contraction of her hands clutching (over the breast), in an instinctive act +of protection at the possible Chupa-chupa attack. We loudly disagree, because +the same appeared to be concentrated and deep (like biopsies) within a small +area; no traces of scratches and the wounds did not possess a fingernail +configuration. + + In conversation with UFO phenomenon researcher and student, Professor +Fabio Zerpa (ONIFE)1, he observed similar facts, ahead of the described +picture by Aurora and other women of Para' who said they were Chupa-chupa +victims, occurring in southern Argentina in the 70s where one women was +attacked by an entity which took blood. It is interesting to note that the +described events occurred in cities and villages in proximity to rivers, +lakes or seas. This makes us recall the Japanese mythological entities called +the "kappas" which, according to legend, came from a distant star and +populated the rivers (or seas) of Japan. Researchers Scornaux and Piens, in +their excellent work "A Descoberta dos OVNIs" [The Discovery of UFOs], +relate: + + " Kappas appear to use a submarine, or something of the like, + provisioned with a respiratory device as well as some strange + helmet with antennas. The ears are abnormally large. The skin is + copper-colored (see the men of bronze who appeared at the Utinga + reservoir, county of Bele'm, during the Chupa-chupa period) and the + hands and feet are hook-like. This description reminds us of some + humanoid ETs observed in our day, and the reputation which the + Kappas had, of making ill the people who came in proximity to them, + makes us think of the physiological effects experimented on some + current witnesses." + +THE PHENOMENON IN COLARES --- The island of Colares is located around 70 +kilometers northeast the city of Bele'm. It bounds the county of Vigia, +another region rich in apparitions and ufological cases. To its front is the +Bay of Marajo~ which finds itself separated from the continent by the river +Guajara'-Mirim. Colares comprises an area 600 square kilometers, +approximately, and harbors several communities, such as Vila de Colares (the +county seat), Fazenda, Mocajatuba, Ariri and others. Its population, in great +part, is dedicated to fishing and agriculture. + + During the Chupa-chupa period, Colares was the target of intense UFO +apparitions and several victims of the mysterious rays were detected. The +fear was so much that a good part of the island residents abandoned their +homes and temporarily went to reside with their parents in other counties. + + CIPEX2 located several witnesses to the phenomenon during the days which +it stayed in Colares. We look at a few cases: + + (a) Jonas Ferreira Gondim, 60 years old, a married fisherman, + confesses that in that time his house was illuminated by the Chupa + light. Taken with courage, he went outside to the yard and fired a + June firecracker to scare away the "aparelho." His son, Cla'udio + Gondin, related to us: "During that time, we did not sleep right. + I and some other colleagues went out for vigils at the home of + friends. One night, I saw that machine over the treetops, there on + S. Joa~o street. It suddenly stopped and emitted a clear light on + top of the trees and right away climbed at great velocity towards + another side of the village." + + (b) Mr. Zacarias dos Santos Barata, 74 years old, married, + confesses: "I saw this machine around two times. The first time, it + came from the direction of Soure' (Marajo' Island) and cruised the + village really fast. On the other time, I saw here from the house + when a luminous ball came lighting up all of the Luzio countryside. + It wasn't making any noise and it was not enough to see how it was + correctly, for the light was very strong and of a bluish color." + The same was observed by his neighbor, Ju'lio de Brito Correia, 70 + years old, adding solely that the ship flew low and at great speed. + + (c) The carpenter Carlos Cardoso de Paula, 45 years old, married, + describes two curious events. We see: "In the time of the Chupa, + many times I left at night to visit the homes of friends and + colleagues. The majority of them would meet on the street making a + bonfire and frying fish. Once in a while, they would make noise + with guns and cans to scare the Chupa... One time, at leaving the + house around 21:00 hours, we heard the people yell: "There goes the + chupa"; here from the house I only saw when a ball of fire came + running in our direction, but soon it changed headings, entering + into another street. A strange thing occurred another time, second + account: "We were all asleep in the house and I was still smoking + the last cigarette when all of a sudden, through the house's roof + ridge, entered a small ball of fire. That thing started to ride + around the room until it came next to my hammock. It climbed up my + right leg up to the knee. I regarded all of this with much + curiosity when that small ball passed to the other leg and I + started to feel weak and sleepy. The cigarette fell from my hand + and, scared of that situation, I screamed. The small ball + disappeared and everyone woke up. I think it was looking for a vein + in my body, but it didn't have any luck... When it would increase + in brightness, I would feel a kind of heat..." + +PROBES --- The account of Mr. Carlos de Paula, besides the bizarre, +indicates to us that that small ball, in reality, could be a matter of a +probe, for the described characteristics by the witness so indicate. During +our research, we located two people in the Vila de Colares who were victims +of the Chupa-chupa. The clinical picture of this phenomenon will be better +detailed with the description of the accounts which we gathered there. + + The first one was of the merchant Neuton de Oliveira Cardoso, 27 years +old, married and who, at the time, resided in the Vila de Mocajatuba. One +night, he woke up ill, feeling a "heat" throughout the body and, frightened, +noticed that he was burned to the height of the neck on the left side. Family +members took him on the following day to the Vila dos Colares for the medical +appointment owed. Neuton comments: "I became very weak and without courage +during various days and still feel a strong torture and headache." The second +victim was Mrs. Claudomira Rogrigues da Paixa~o, 43 years old, married, +popularly known as "Mirota." She was hit in the breast by the Chupa-chupa +light, when still sleeping at her parent's house. It was around midnight and +she slept in the hammock next to the window when she was surprised by an +intense glare; quickly, she felt a heat over the body that paralyzed her, +when then a focused beam of greenish light was projected over her torax, +being right away withdrawn. But it was late and mirota already had burns +present on the left breast. + + During several days, she felt a great weakness and strong headaches +which occasionally still return to bother her. Later, she was lead to the +Instituto Medico Legal Renato Chaves (Bele'm) for complimentary exams. Years +ago, inclusive, she had the visit of two foreign researchers who arrived +together with an interpreter at the island in a single-engine plane. Mrs. +Claudomira certifies: "During the instant the fire struck me, I felt holes +like from needles over my chest. Later, I did not feel any pain, unless +headaches and a great laziness which kept me in the hammock for several +days..." + +SECRET ACCOUNTS --- At the start of the rumors of curious ufological +apparitions in the interior of Para' and in Maranha~o, increased by the panic +of the population about the phenomenon, the 1st Regional Aerial Command (1st +COMAR)3, located in Bele'm, activated an exhaustive field operation with the +intent of clearing up the Chupa-chupa phenomenon enigma. The command's order +was the following: + + 1) The UFO phenomenon merits a deep and objective study; + 2) All relevant information on the phenomenon needs to be gathered; + 3) Public announcements and commentary about the subject needs to be + avoided. + + During the time, the Air Force sent researchers to several counties +where the presence of UFOs were detected, in such a way that hundreds of +reports of the first and second degrees and around 200 photographs of strange +objects, UFOs, were gathered. The most rich locations were Baia do Sol (Ilha +de Mosqueiro) and the Ilha de Colares (Para'). In these regions several UFO +photographs were obtained, mostly nocturnal, and still some films of short +duration registering the ship's evolution. + + The majority of the photographs were taken with professional cameras +(Cannon, Nikon) coupled and tele-aimed, utilizing Kodak 1000 ASA film, black +and white, with the equipment belonging to the military. At the end of the +field investigation, the second phase of the operation was initiated which +included the elaboration of a report and analysis of the recognized data. +This report, around 500 pages including photographs of UFOs, drawings, maps, +records of interviews and clippings of local newspapers, was sent to the +military high command (EMFA), together with all the existing photographic +documentation (films, negatives, photograph copies). + + The obtained results of this far away work points that the Chupa-Chupa +phenomenon was general and of ufological nature, being difficult to specify +with objectivity the origin and purpose of the same. + +EVIDENCE --- In a ufological research, it is not sufficient to gather and +archive cases. It is necessary to test them, compare them with others and +submit them to several criticisms (both internally and externally). + + The climate that the 1977 Para' wave generated in the breast of the +population is complex and rich in data; all of society's sectors were hit and +the divulged opinions are the most diverse possible. The press effected an +excellent job, maybe addressing, as it allowed itself by one side, by the +skepticism of the high domes; and, on the other side, by the inexperience of +the ufological camp. However, these small flaws are understandable and +natural. But, the same judgment is not valid when we denounce the scientific, +political and military community's position which still insists in hiding +themselves under old anti-ufological pretexts. This omission was expected, +being in part deliberate. + + Tactics of this nature are well recognized among researchers and +publicists of the UFO reality. Not withstanding or missing were the Air Force +secret research, the ridicule, the "prophets" announcing the arrival of the +martians and still the confusion tactic with the prejudiced affirmations of +some liberal professionals with their "famous" convenient explanations. + +CONCLUSIONS --- This research, despite its limitations, allowed us an +adequate sampling of the 70s ufological wave in Para'. We emphasize some +points: + + 1) The zone of action was the north of Brazil, being frequent the + sightings on the edges of rivers and of the Atlantic Ocean; + + 2) The UFOs surfaced, in the majority of times, at night, being rare the + sightings during the day; + + 3) The depositions confirm the presence of ships - not always coming + from high and disappearing in the sky; + + 4) Whatever the small ships, everything indicates they were about + probes, due to their aerodynamic and behavioral profile, such as round + extremely luminous objects, rapid movements, low altitude flying, + emission of luminous beams and chasing people; + + 5) The burns produced by the UFOs were not accidental, but demonstrated + an objective. Men and women were the aim, preferably targeted when they + slept; + + 6) There is no complete proof that the UFOs removed blood from their + victims; on the other hand, the biochemical and clinical exams performed + by Dr. Wellaide C.C. de Oliveira attest to the lower number of + hemoglobin in the hemogram from the victims, besides the quite peculiar + clinical picture of people who have lost considerable blood (fainting, + chronic headaches, body weaknesses, preventing the victims from standing + on their feet) including the presence of diminutive "prick marks" in the + regions hit by the beams from the UFOs; + + 7) Informational references about the occupants of the ships were few, + but they point to the presence of beings of below/medium stature, + greenish and wrinkled skin; + + 8) There is a specific objective of great importance which precipitated + the UFOs invasion of coastal Para' and Maranha~o. + + Everything leads to believe that the global phenomenon was a mission of +great scope, not only by the frequency of sightings, but by the great number +of sighted objects. The zones incidental were chosen due to their strategic +positions and by the security which they gave to the action of the UFOs +(geographic isolation, far apart and small population centers).

FILE: UFO2454 + + + + +(Just Cause, Copyright 1994 by Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, PO Box 218, +Coventry, CT 06238, published bi-monthly with a subscription rate of +$15/yr.) + + One of the most extraordinary periods in the hlstory of the UFO +phenomena occurred during the summer of 1952. Literally thousands of +flying saucer reports inundated the Air Force, police departments and +newspapers with arounrd-the-clock activity. Central to this wave of +reports were sightings over Washington D.C. Three major radar trackings +of "unknowns" and a number of minor ones plagued Air Force and clvilian +air traffic controllers. Jets had to be scrambled to confront the +incasion of radar pips. In some cases pilots did detect strange 1ights +over the city but as quickly as they would appear the objects would +disappear, leaving officials scratching their heads over what had +happened. During this three-week stretch banner headlines alerted the +nation to the return of the saucers (having been in the news at various +times since 1947). + + The Air Force statistics for this time were extraordinary. 1952 +produced 15O1 UFO incidents, the highest of any year of the Air Force's +twenty-one year long investigtion. 303 of those were considered +"unidentified" after investigation, also the highest of any year by a +very large margin. The next highest was 1954, with a mere 46 unknowns +of 487 reports (Project Blue Book Fact Sheet, 1968). + + Beginning in April and through May and June 1952, sightings +began a steady rise. Part of this could have been due to an article +that appeared in the April 7th, 1952 issue of Life magazine called, +"Have We Visitors from Outer Space" by H. B. Darrach and Robert Ginna. +The article was an oddity itself in that it was done with Air Force +cooperation and that it came very close to endorsing the notion of UFOs +as extraterrestrial devices. Cases were declassified and released to +the Life writers. The magazine arranged to forward sightings to the Air +Force from Life's readers (_The UFO Controversy in America_ by David +Jacobs, 1975, pg. 69). The Air Force's policy prior to this had been to +discourage such thinking, that the phenomena was under control and that +there was nothing to the idea of visitations by beings from space. The +Life article was a virtual invitation for saucer interest to escalate. + + Blue Book cases from April 16 - 30 totalled 54. May reports +totalled 68 incidents. June reports increased again to 125. (Project +Blue Book, Case Index, National Archives, 1976). When questioned by the +press about the Life article, the Air Force did not issue the usual +denial but instead maintained that the article was correct and the +conclusions were Life's (Jacobs, 1975). + + Given the degree of encouragement to broadcasting saucer +incidents the Air Force must have expected to receive a rising influx of +sightings. There had always been elements in the Air Force interested +in promoting an extraterrestrial explanation for flying saucers but they +were, prior to this time, under control. One example of this was the +"Estimate of the Situation," a Top Secret document which was said to +have strongly supported saucers from space but was ultimately rejected +as an Air Force policy statement (Just Cause, September 1992). + + Captain Edward Ruppelt, who became head of Project Blue Book in +1951, was the most liberal of the Air Force's UFO investigators to that +time. He had promoted an upscale program, was open-minded in his +approach, and while not an alien advocate, had regarded some of the +sightings as genuine mysteries. + + Question: If Air Force policy had been to discourage a flying +saucer/outer space connection publicly, why suddenly open the door to a +situation similar to that of the summer of 1947 when the press went +absolutely wild with saucer stories and questions on what the government +was doing about it? In other words, there wasn't a compelling reason +for a policy shift in April 1952. The consensus of various UFO +histories is that Ruppelt's serious approach to UFOs caused the Air +Force's top brass to lend more support to Blue Book by being less +secretive and more open and analytical. Ruppelt said in his book (The +Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, 1956) that Life's pro-saucer +statements were "unofffcially inspired" by several very high-ranking Air +Force officers at the Pentagon, "so high that their personal opinion was +almost policy." Was the reason for these "personal opinions" being made +a public issue based on the possibility that an "answer" to the saucer +mystery was evident to the Air Force, something which hadn't been proven +to that point, or could there have been a more mundane reason which will +lead to the core of a new explanation as to why the 1952 wave evolved as +it did? + + JULY + ---- + + July reports totalled 401, a massive increase in the monthly +intake by Blue Book. Only 81 of those came from July 1 - 14, leaving +320 from July 15 - 31. This huge output from the 15th on is important +as we shall see later. + + In the process of doing historical sweeps of the press, CAUS has +located a great deal of information on the 1952 wave. A comprehensive +search of New England area newspapers has produced one thousand pages of +clippings from July-August alone. Our search has taken five months of +weekly six-hour sessions looking at microfilm in various libraries. One +cannot get a grasp of the time without following news events day by day. +Putting the saucer stories in context this way might reveal facts that +were previously overlooked. "New" old sightings were found. +Commentaries and opinions expressing the mindset of the population at +the time were illuminating, and something else was found that was not +anticipated. + + During July, just prior to the saucer wave becaming prominent, +the national media showed a great deal of concern as to the country's +preparedness for national defense. Numerous stories were noted in +virtually every newspaper searched regarding the lack of air spotters +for the Air Force. "Air Spotters Rally to Fill Gaps," said the Berkshire +Eagle (Ma.) for July 15th. "Not Enough Skywatchers," said the Lowell +Sun (Ma.) for July 14th. "Operatian Skywatch Flops: Volunteers Few," +said the Holyoke Telegram-Transcript (Ma.). And on and on this theme +went in the New England press between July 14th and the 16th. The +problem appeared to be so universal that it would be fair to project +this nationally. CAUS has compiled forty pages of clips so far and we +expect to see much the same elsewhere. + + What was this all about in the days before the great saucer +wave? A fair amount of explanation is necessary. + + THE GROUND OBSERVER CORPS + ------------------------- + + In the early 1950s the U.S. government had several basic units +comprising its air defense system. + + Early Warning Radar Stations - The purpose being of course to + detect enemy aircraft electronically at a distance. + + Ground Controlled Intercept - Consisted of radar stations + designed to follow enemy aircraft and direct U.S. fighter planes + towards them for attack. + + Fighter Interceptor Aircraft Bases - Launched U.S. fighters on + missions. + + Another important element was the Ground Observer Corps, which +was in essence groups of thousands of average citizens in volunteer +service to the government for the purpose of visually spotting potential +enemy aircraft overflying the United States. The GOC had begun as an +experiment in September 1949, called "Operation Lookout." The results +had been encouraging to the point the Air Force had felt a Ground +Observer Corps could play an important role in plugging holes in the +existing radar network. The ultimate goal of the program was to have +24-hour sky coverage by one million volunteer spotters at 24,000 +observation posts (_The Air Force_ by A. Brophy, 1956, pg. 91). And +with volunteers, the cost of the program would be much less than paying +professionals who could not be employed in such large numbers. + + The GOC worked under joint control of the U.S. government and +civil authorities. The Air Force would handle the tactical end of the +program, such as training the volunteers and designing procedures for +reporting. Civil authorities would take care of personnel and record +keeping. The chain of command in a given state would begin with the +governor. Under him would be a state civil defense director, then a +director for the state Ground Observer Corps. The GOC director then had +a GOC coordination officer who knew the appropriate locations and +personnel in various counties. Within the counties would be area +supervisors who would be responsible for the activation and operation of +GOC posts in his/her area. Finally, there would be a post supervisor +who would oversee the individual post and volunteer personnel assigned +to it. The GOC post was generally a tower of sufficient height to give +an all-sky view. A small shelter on top contained communications +equipment, spotting equipment (binoculars; etc.) and other aids to relay +the results of visual interception of unknown aircraft (Air Force Manual +5O-12). + + Part of the GOC as well was the Filter Center, a facility run by +both military and civil authorities. This is to where the individual +ground spotter would report his/her observation of an unknown. Staffed +mainly by civilians, the Filter Center would receive phone calls, +record information, plot it on large table maps, and perform other +related tasks. Since it was also part of the military chain of command, +the Filter Center had an Air Force Officer-in-Charge who made sure +things went smoothly. + + Until 1952, the GOC posts operated on a man-available basis. +Rarely were posts fully staffed to provide complete 24-hour coverage of +the sky. Generally the volunteers worked 2-3 hour shifts. The overnite, +or graveyard, shifts were the most difficult to staff as they required +being awake during most people's sleep time. + + It is important to know all of this because few people now know +what the Ground Observer Corps was and how it operated. Nor do they +know how a GOC air alert called "Operation Skywatch" raised the curtain +on the great saucer wave. + + Operation Sktwatch was an attempt by the Air Force to put the +GOC on a 24-hour schedule for the first time. The alert was earmarked +for July 14, 1952. One problem with GOC operations at this point was +the staffing at various posts across the nation. The Air Force was +trying to push the program along to meet the challenge of completing +24-hour sky coverage to supplement the existing radar network. It was a +difficult task. One town Civil Defense director in Rhode Island, Judge +James Watts, called the attempt at 24-hour coverage "asinine" (New +Bedford Standard-Times [Ma.], July 15). He maintained that "people have +to work for a living and don't have time," especiallt since the U.S. was +not in a state of war. + + In fact the Air Force rallied the GOC directors to get local +newspapers involved in getting the public to volunteer. President Truman +made a personal call for volunteers in a statement released in +Washington on July 12 (Springfield Union [Ms.] July 13). As mentioned +earlier in report, it was very obvious that the GOC people were having +difficulty everywhere. + + Operation Skywatch was carried through but the results of the +July 14th alert were "spotty" (Providence Journal [R.I.], July 18), "a +deplorable situation and a sad lack of interest..." (Taunton Gazette +[Ma.], July 16), "a flop in New England," (Holyoke Telegram-Transcript +[Ma.], July 15), "Observation Post Apathy," (Portland Press-Herald +[Me.], July 18). The Worcester Telegram (Ma.) of July 18 called the +public "apathetlc and fatalistic" about the danger of enemy attack. + + The Air Force said that only about thirty percent of the posts +in New England operated (Lowell Sun [Ma.], July 16). The Eastern Air +Defense Force at Stewart Air Force Base, New York reported that only +slightly more than 1500 posts in the New York area were manned out of +4OOO (New York Herald-Tribune, July 15). This after a major effort was +launched by the Air Force to make the GOC work. + + A dilemma was now apparent. Question: How does the Air Force +motivate the population to become involved with the GOC; to, in effect, +stand and stare at the sky without pay for hours in anticipation of an +enemy attack that may or may not ever occur? "Things aren't very good," +said Major Richard Curtis, the commander of the New Haven, Connecticut +Filter Center (New York Herald-Tribune, July 15). The Air Force was +committed to the GOC program, having decided in May not to reconsider +its decision to proceed with Operation Skywatch. The request to +reconsider came from a San Francisco meeting of the National Association +of State Civil Defense Directors, an influential group which could not +sway the the Air Force. The final decision had been made by General +Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff (New York Times, May 3, 1952). + + + THE WAVE + -------- + + On July 16th, barely a day after Operation Skywatch began, the +great summer 1952 wave was off and running. An escalation in the number +of saucer sightings reported to the Air Force had been in progress since +April but the press had paid little attention to them until this time. + + Two veteran airline pilots, W.B. Nash and W.H. Fortenberry, had +reported seeing eight huge discs zipping along in formation near +Norfolk, Virginia on July 14th while piloting their Pan American DC-4. +At first six discs maneuvered in echelon formation below the airliner. +Making a sharp turn, the six were then joined by two other discs, all of +which soon zoomed upward and disappeared. Wire services transmitted the +story nationwide with little comment by the Air Force. The accounts +were loaded with superlatives about the credibility of the witnesses and +the quality of the report. + + A United Press story transmitted on the 17th, and quoting +Captain Edward Ruppelt, indicated that sixty saucer reports had been +received in two weeks and that 1952 sightings were double the rate for +1951. The Air Force, in effect, nudges the spiraling situation upward +with this statement. Lt. Colonel Richard McGee, Director of Civil +Defense for the Dayton, Ohio area (the home of Project Blue Book), said +that he was alarmed by the increase and added, "There is something +flying around in our skies and I wish I knew what it is." (Portland +Press-Herald [Me.], July 18). + + Sightings continued to increase. A July 19th story (Boston +American) indicated that sightings were received from New York, Vermont, +Colorado and Washington. The only mention of Air Force comment was that +they "take seriously all such reports." + + Some press sources were provided instructions on informing the +public on how to spot and report the flying saucers (Brockton Enterprise +[Ma.], July 19). One (Fall River Herald-News [Ma.], July 21) wondered +why none of the sightings in those reported to that time were by members +of the Ground Observer Corps. + + A NEW SPIN ON AN OLD STORY + -------------------------- + + For any of this to mean something, we must explain where all of +what we've said so far comes together. The Air Force enacted a program +of 24-hour sky coverage. Its major problem was getting volunteers to +man the country's observation posts. A very short time after the Air +Force's program gets off to a poor start, flying saucers begin to creep +into the press with little resistance from authorities. Think about it. +If you were an Air Force Intelligence officer and a major, funded +program of skywatching was heading for the hopper, what would you do? +How would you motivate the public to go outside for two to three hour +shifts and watch the skies? Answer: Flying Saucers! The lure and +fascination of potential visitors from space would motivate most +rational, thinking people into wanting to skywatch from an equipped +observation post with the appropriate training. A chance at seeing one +of these things, not to mention fulfilling a patriotic duty as well, +would be irresistable to many citizens during the early 1950s. + + This is not an idea with easy evidence. To direct this +situation, the government would not have to do much of anything. If +flying saucers come along at a convenient time, let the stories get out +- to a point. Do not react to them. Allow the press to sensationalize, +arouse the public interest, thus getting recruitments and volunteers up. +Once the situation appeared to be going out of control, the Air Force +could step in, hold a press conference with the full weight of authority +behind it, and kill the wave with convincing-sounding explanations. +Planting mildly misleading stories cannot be ruled out either as a way +of keeping the wave, and the interest in it, rolling along. + + The press could be fed instructions (i.e. training) to be printed +for the public, seemingly for flying saucer spotting, but, on a more +practical level for the Air Force in the long-term, GOC spotting. The +whole business could be called a form of passive manipulation that would +be hard to trace to its source, but would be highly effective for the +Air Force in its consequences. The GOC would be better staffed, the +saucer wave will have served a positive purpose for the Air Force, and +when the wave had outlived its usefulness, debunk it. + + Is it plausible? + + BACK TO THE WAVE + ---------------- + + Press coverage of the 1952 wave exploded on July 22 with the +information that saucers were seen visually and on radar over +Washington, D.C. The attention given to this by the press was unlike +anything seen since saucers began to be sighted in 1947. Hardly a +newspaper in the country did not say anything about it. Continued +bafflement character-ized Air Force statements in the first week of the +wave. "A thorough investigation is being made by the Air Technical +Intelligence Center," the Air Force told the Associated Press (Boston +Globe, July 23). + + On the 23rd, the first GOC reports came through. Charles Buck, a +Westfield, Maine GOC spotter saw three silver discs at high altitude. +This was followed by another GOC observer's report from Nahant, Mass. of +two discs (Brockton Enterprise [Ma.], July 23). Rather than keeping the +GOC reports "within the company" and away from the press, as one might +have expected the Air Force to do normally, they were freely gettinq out +to the media now. No serious objection was yet apparent from the Air +Force, thus more encouragement for volunteers to enroll with the GOC and +potentially to report flying saucers and make headlines. More reports +followed from Cleveland GOC spotters. And more yet from Chicago. The +commander of the GOC Filter Center in Chicago, Captain Everett Turner, +said he received a flying saucer report every hour from his volunteer +spotters (Springfield News [Ma.], July 25). + + On the 24th, the Air Force, specifically Captain Edward Ruppelt +of Project Blue Book, emphatically denied that the saucer wave had +anything to do with putting the GOC volunteers on 24-hour duty +(Providence Journal [R.I.], July 24). Yet in an interview with Colonel +Richard McGee, the Dayton, Ohio Civil Defense Director in charge of the +area incorporating Ruppelt's headquarters, he was asked whether or not +there was a connection between Operation Sky watch and the flying +saucers. He responded that to his knowledge no specific reason had been +given "_but that could be the answer._" (emphasis added) (Portland +Press-Herald [Me.], July 18). Evidently some military people were +thinking about linkage between the two, as we are now. Without a +smoking gun though, it could only have been unuttered speculation for +most leaning to this idea. + + The build-up of reports and publicity continued on for the next +few days. The reluctance of the Air Force to debunk reports continued +as well, though civilian scientists began to object to the presentation +of the sightings as mysterious. Dr. Donald Menzel became prominent +during this time as a key saucer critic. + + The wave roared on at a fever pitch as press coverage on the +28th revealed a second weekend of strange sightings over Washington. Jet +interceptors again were foiled in attempting to identify the intruders. +The wave coverage was now taking on an alarmist tendency and serious +questions were being asked as to whether or not the military could +handle the situation effectively. For example, according to the New + +York Times (July 29), the jets did not respond to the sightings over +Washington until nearly two hours after the first radar trackings were +reported, a remarkable admission by the military in the midst of the +Cold War. + + Now something had to be done to douse the fire that the Air +Force had allowed to build. A press conference was quickly convened on +the 29th of July, led by Major General John Samford, the Air Force's +Chief of Intelligence. + + The saucers, General Samford assured the press, were no threat +to our national security. While conceding that some sightings were +difficult to explain, the Air Force nevertheless balanced this with a +variety of possible explanations for most of the reports. The +"temperature inversion," a weather condition known to dupe radar into +registering "solid" targets that were not really there in a physical +sense, became the explanation of preference for the Washington radar +trackings. Mirages and exaggerations were meted out to the press as +further likelihoods. The Air Force was careful to protect the +reputations of its personnel by asserting that credible observers were +seeing relatively incredible things. The message was clear though that +those "incredible things" were incredible as a function of subjective +impressions, weather conditions and the fallibility of technical +equipment. + + With the weight of authority behind it, the press conference +effectively nullified the alarm raised by the media. Since the saucers +had not landed on the White House lawn, nor did decidedly mysterious +hard evidence surface, it would have been difficult for pro-saucer +advocates to offset the official pronouncements. Some of the press +quickly seized on this shift in attitude with headlines like "Public +Starting to Accept Theory Discs are Illusions" (Quincy Patriot-Ledger +[Ma], Juiy 31). + + The Blue Book report total for August was 278, a significant +drop from July. Many did not accept the Air Force's explanations but +the aftermath of the press conference distinctly reduced 1) the alarmist +nature of the coverage which had begun well into the wave, and 2) the +level of coverage which had sloped downward fram the beginning of August +onward. + + GOC VOLUNTEERS/AIR FORCE RECRUITMENTS + ------------------------------------- + + Reports towards the end of July appeared indicating that not +only had GOC volulnteers increased but that the Air Force enlistments +were up. The Springfield Union (Ma.), July 3O said, "Air Force Tops its +July Quota," with the enlistment allotment "far over" its goal. In the +month after the wave, GOC volunteers in Massachusetts increased from +3500 on July 14th (the first day of Operation Skywatch ) to 7600 +(Springfield Union [Ma.], August 25). Several hundred new recruits +signed up in Rhode Island (Providence Journal [R.I.], August 17). By no +means was the GOC up to its goals but a valiant upward trend had begun. + + Another remarkable admission was made by the Air Force's Vice +Commander of the Eastern Air Defense Force, Brigadier General George +Smith, that low-flying aircraft could easily avoid radar detection +around the United States "and must be observed and plotted by ground +observers" (New York Herald-Tribune, August 1). One would not expect +publicly-admitted clues by the Air Force, then actively at odds with a +powerful Soviet Union, on how to defeat our national defenses, unless of +course the Air Force regarded a depleted GOC as a more serious national +security issue. Equally remarkable was an admission two days before as +to the inability of Air Force radar at Andrews Air Force Base in +Washington to detect the unknowns reported on radar by the civilian +scopes at Washington National Airport (Attleboro Sun [Ma.], July 29). +Of what possible good would these admissions be unless they were for a +higher purpose - to encourage support for a stronger Ground Observer +Corps. + + + DISCUSSION + ---------- + + It is folly to be absolute about anything relating to UFOs. +Examples abound to support this. We can only follow a trail of +information left in the wake of the 1952 saucer wave to see if there was +a reason for why it happenned the way it did. We are suggesting that +the problems with the Ground Observer Corps program were serious enough +that using publicity about flying saucers as a tool to enhance the +program seemed not to be such an outrageous ideas as it sounds. The +wave has been a strange loose end demanding clarification. There is as +yet no smoking gun but many hints are on the record. + + It would be difficult to say whether the government had planted +altogether false stories with the press to encourage the interest to +continue in flying saucers, therefore in skywatching, therefore in +volunteering with the Air Force. We can't point any fingers but we +can't rule it out either. The true anomalies, besides the saucer +reports themselves, lie in the lack of timely Air Force response to the +wave that was consistent with previous policy; the seemingly scandalous +admissions by the military of gaping holes in the technical aspects of +U.S. national security, admissions for which the ultimate resolution +appeared to be boosting the Air Force's pet program by whatever means +available; and the amount of immediate, behind-the-scenes information +coming from the government during the wave, the result being an +enthralled public excited about what was going on in our skies. + + Do not underestimate the effect of the 1952 wave on popular +culture either. While it can be shown to have had long-term influence +on the military (the wave led directly to the Robertson Panel of the +CIA, setting the future debunking policy on flying saucers by the Air +Force), the influence on the population may have been more profound. + + For example, one report (Boston Globe, September 7, 1952) +indicated that toy manufacturers preparing for the 1952 Christmas season +had taken note of an "unprecedented and furious upsurge of demand for +rocket ships, space helmets, flying saucers and other playthings of an +interplanetary nature." The children of America it seemed were weary of +cowboy an western paraphenalia, which had dominated toy manufacturing +for many years, and had switched their attention to extraterrestrial +travel and visitations. The reason for this? According to the Boston +Globe account, "The pre-occupation with space toys is of fairly recent +origin. It started with the mid-summer revival of news stories about +flying saucers. Now it has taken on such terrific proportions that it +threatens to upset the industries carefully laid plans for the Christmas +shopping rush." + + Some television shows had dealt with space themes to this time, +the most notable being "Captain Video," debuting in 1949. But a +rippling effect on the popular culture wasn't there until the summer of +1952. Premiering in 1953 were three new space shows: "Atom Squad," +"Rocky Jones, Space Ranger," and "Rod Brown of the Rocket Rangers" +(Fantastic Television by Gary Gerami and Paul Schulman, Harmony Books, +N.Y., 1977). The aim of this is not difficult to fathom, to satisfy the +new craze over space initiated by the great wave. Three more pioneering +space TV shows, "Commando Cody," "Captain Z-RO," and "Captain Midnight" +premiered in 1955. The cinema contributed films like "Invaders from +Mars" in 1953, loaded with flying saucer imagery and with allusions to +actual saucer reports that had appeared in the press. "Earth vs the +Flying Saucers" was another release in 1955. It can be easily argued +that these developments had an impact on young minds to the extent of +enticing them in later years to becoming involved in the blossoming +space program in the United States. + + Optimism for space travel certainly wasn't fostered by the +scientific community or the clergy during the time of the sightings. +"Trip from Mars Would Take Three Years" (Quincy Patriot-Ledger [Ma.], +August5). "Only Vegetables Can Live on Mars" (Boston Globe, August 1). +"Trips to the Planets Doomed" (Boston Post, September 6). "Pope Doubts +Man's Ability to Resolve All Mysteries" (Hartford Courant [Ct.], +September 8). "Space Flights Put Many Years Away" (New York Times, +September 5). If the authorities in science and religion were actively +discouraging thoughts that space travel was imminent or that visitations +by aliens was ongoing, what else could have fueled the mania for space +at this time? Not much except the flying saucer wave. Whatever one +thinks of the phenomena, it is inarguable that it has had a major impact +on the culture, in books, in the press and just about every other medium +of mass communication. Even today, during ratings sweeps by television +and radio, two prime topics are used to garner ratings points: sex and +UFOs. Observe broadcasting during the months of November, February and +May and one will see an increase in UFO programs on talk shows. Perhaps +we could call this the modern version of passive manipulation - this +time by corporations seeking larger profits than by the government. +(see TV Guide, January 31, 1981, "Teen Sex! UFOs! Male Models! Details +at 11!"). + + A theory of passive manipulation would by its nature tend to be +subtle in its origin and execution, allowing the perpetrator to do +nothing but sit back and permit situations to evolve that would have +reasonably predictable outcomes. With regard to the flying saucers of +1952 it was not hard to predict how the press and the public would +react. Much like more recent years, it was a reaction of intense +interest and substantial publicity that for a time progressed in a +useful direction for the government. When it passed the point of being +acceptable to accomplishing the goals in mind, i.e. relieving the GOC +volunteer problem, a quick press conference deflated the ballooning +wave. + + Whether by serendipity or by design, the saucer reports were +there when needed by the military. Once used in this manner, and +recognizing that such manipulation of the phenomena could create bigger +problems than it was worth later, flying saucers were reburied by the +Air Force as far as the public was concerned. The debunking policy took +over again in 1953 and stood until the end of the Air Force's official +investigations in 1969. + + Many will recall the recent blockbuster film by Oliver Stone, +"JFK." During one scene the film's star, playing Attorney Jim +Garrison, meets with a shadowy figure calling himself "X." A former +military officer, "X" described a series of strange coincidences which +led him to believe that President John Kennedy had been killed by an +internal government conspiracy. One of the coincidences was that the +intelligence service of the Army was told to "stand down" during the +president's visit to Dallas, Texas in 1963. "Stand down," meaning not +to react, not to place operatives in the normal security locations to +protect the president, not to be alert to potential problems, to go on +as if nothing were happening. The result of course was that the +president was placed in harm's way, a form of passive manipulation +that, if true, helped to change history in a dramatic way. + + We aren't going to revive the controversy over the JFK +assassination here. It is simply to emphasize that there are probably +many more examples of such passive manipulation on record, that the new +spin on an old story isn't such a new spin after all. The answer to the +intense publicity surrounding the 1952 saucer wave may have been there +all the time, it just took us forty-one years to wake up. + +(Just Cause, Copyright 1994 by Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, PO Box 218, +Coventry, CT 06238, published bi-monthly with a subscription rate of +$15/yr.) + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The observation was taken +between 3:50 and 5:15 UTC on 20 Oct 1993 and was reported to the +present author from 7:00 UTC the same morning and in several phone +conversations since then. Its integrated brightness was about -9 mag. + +I would be grateful for your assistance. +It should have been seen from elsewhere since the night was quite +clear and observers within a radius of 1000 km would have seen an +object brighter than -6 mag at a zenithdistance of less than 60 +degrees. + +Observations +------------ +The object was watched by observer A for 85 minutes, interrupted +then by clouds. He saw a diffuse circular orange +disk of the moon's diameter without structure, but he was much +disturbed by background light from a big gas flame on the rig. +He saw no change of brightness or appearance during that time. + +The ship Preventer 500 m +south of Tyra was called by radio and the object was observed by +officer B for about 60 minutes. He could see much structure which +did not change during the time. It looked like a drop pushing a bow +wave in front of its but end. A drawing will be provided to me. +Both observers used naked eye and good binoculars. By binoculars A and +B report to seeing a granular surface, a large number of small points +inside the object. + +The object stayed at nearly constant distance to Capella which was seen +at 10 degrees to WSW at 3:50 UT and at about 7 degrees at 5:15, the +times of first and last sighting. This indicates a westward motion +among the stars of 3 degrees in 85 minutes, although this figure is +uncertain and could be zero. The first position is RA, Dec 1950 = +6h 10m, +50.0 deg. + +The constant appearance and the celestial motion indicated an +astronomical object, perhaps a comet. But a report to B. Marsden on the +same morning did not bring any further observation, and it was +concluded that the object must be local. This hypothesis has however +led to no acceptable explanation of the phenomenon. + +The object was also observed by two persons, C and D, on the oil rig +Gorm, 18 km south of Tyra who had overheard the radio conversation +between A and B. They saw two orange drops close together, near zenith, +both drops being about one square degree. From their +drawings and from phone conversations the declination 48.0 deg and +the same RA as above were derived. This corresponds to a parallax +of -2 degrees. Permitting very generously a total error of 5 degrees, +the maximum parallax is -2+5=3 deg, and the minimum altitude therefore +340 km above sea level. + +The surface brightness was estimated by a simple visual photometer to +one percent of of the moon. The photometry was obtained by A five +days later on my proposal by watching the first quarter moon through +the two acryl plates of an empty tape cassette. He estimated that +the object was considerable brighter than the twice reflected +image of the moon. Since this image has a surface brightness +about 0.3 percent of the moon, the object has had a surface brightness +about one percent of the moon. Since the integrated brightness of +the full moon is -13 mag and the total area of the object +was at least one square degree as seen by the other observers a +total integrated brightness about -9 mag is inferred. + +No explanation found +-------------------- +Explanations in terms of noctilucent clouds, chemical experimental +clouds or space craft exhaust are not consistent with the long duration +of constant appearance and the nearly constant position relative to the +stars. Aurora seems to be excluded for the same reason and because +their was no special event on 20 October. P.

In an unprecedented +election, Donald M. Ware was voted to be removed from the Board +effective June 1, 1993. This action stemmed from continued advisory +statements by members of the Executive Committee to Don that he refrain +from mailing books to Board members and Eastern Regional State Directors +espousing "channeling" philosophies and techniques over a two-year +period. + + As a result of Mr. Ware's fascination with channeling as a means +of communicating with aliens or entities, he invited Dr. Norma +Milanovich, a professed channeler, to attend the closed MUFON +"Face-to-Face" meeting in Albuquerque, NM in July 1992 and allowed her +to read her channeled answers to the questions posed for discussion by +the participants. Much to the shock and dismay of MUFON officers +attending, Dr. Milanovich read the answers from a computer print-out +which she claims was obtained from "Master Kuthumi" during a 33-minute +period the previous night. + + Walter Andrus gave Donald Ware an opportunity to resign from the +Board. After he refused to resign, a vote by the Board of Directors was +felt to be the fairest way of determining his status. Since it has taken +25 years to establish MUFON's scientific credibility, it seems unwise to +allow one individual's unscientific interests to be taken as +representative of those of MUFON. The results from the mail ballot are +as follows: 15 (65.2%) voted yes to remove; four (17.4%) voted no to +removal, and four directors abstained as the third choice. + + MUFON is indebted to Don for the outstanding job he performed as +a Field Investigator, State Section Director, State Director and later +as MUFON's Eastern Regional Director. Any member of MUFON may study any +of the fringe aspects of Ufology such as channeling and the New Age +concepts, however, MUFON does not endorse these fringe aspects and is +strictly against any member's attempt to proselytize other MUFON +members.

Two military officials, one the base's head of the Air +Force Office of Special Investigations, the other, the audio- +visual director Paul Shartle, discussed a number of projects. One +of them involved UFOs. This one sounded the most interesting and +plans were launched to go ahead with a film on the subject. + + Emenegger and Sandler were told of a film taken at Holloman AFB, +New Mexico, in May 1971. In October 1988, in a national +television broadcast, Shartle would declare that he had seen the +16mm film showing "three disc-shaped craft. One of the craft +landed and two of them went away." A door opened on the landed +vehicle and three beings emerged. Shartle said, "They were human- +size. They had an odd, gray complexion and a pronounced nose. +They wore tightfitting jump suits, [and] thin headdresses that +appeared to be communication devices, and in their hands they +held a 'translator.' A Holloman base commander and other Air +Force officers went out to meet them" (Howe, 1989). + + Emenegger was led to believe he would be given the film for use +in his documentary. He was even taken to Norton and shown the +landing site and the building in which the spaceship had been +stored and others (Buildings 383 and 1382) in which meetings +between Air Force personnel and the aliens had been conducted +over the next several days. According to his sources, the landing +had taken place at 6 a.m. The extraterrestrials were "doctors, +professional types." Their eyes had vertical slits like a cat's +and their mouths were thin and slitlike, with no chins." All that +Emenegger was told of what occurred in the meetings was a single +stray "fact": that the military people said they were monitoring +signals from an alien group with which they were unfamiliar, and +did their ET guests know anything about them? The ETs said no. + + Emenegger's military sources said he would be given 3200 feet of +film taken of the landing. At the last minute, however, +permission was withdrawn, although Emenegger and Sandler were +encouraged to describe the Holloman episode as something +hypothetical, something that could happen or might happen in the +future. Emenegger went to Wright-Patterson AFB, where Project +Blue Book had been located until its closing in 1969, to ask Col. +George Weinbrenner one of his military contacts, what had +happened. According to Emenegger's account, the exchange took +place in Weinbrenner's office. The colonel stood up, walked to a +chalkboard and complained in a loud voice, "That damn MIG 25! +Here we're so public with everything we have. But the Soviets +have all kinds of things we don't know about. We need to know +more about the MIG 25!" Moving to a bookshelf and continuing his +monologue about the Russian jet fighter, he handed Emenegger a +copy of J. Allen Hynek's The UFO Experience (1972), with the +author's signature and dedication to Weinbrenner. "It was like a +scene from a Kafka play," Emenegger would recall , inferring from +the colonel's odd behavior that he was confirming the reality of +the film while making sure that no one overhearing the +conversation realized that was what he was doing. + + The documentary film UFO's Past, Present & Future (Sandler +Institutional Films, Inc.) was released in 1974 along with a +paperback book of the same title. The Holloman incident is +recounted in three pages (127-29) of the book's "Future" section. +Elsewhere, in a section of photos and illustrations, is an +artist's conception of what one of the Holloman entities looked +like, though it, along with other alien figures, is described +only as being "based on eyewitness descriptions" (Emenegger, +1974). Emenegger's association with the military and intelligence +he had met while doing the film would continue for years. At one +point in the late 1980s his sources told him that He was about to +be invited to film an interview with a live extraterrestrial in a +Southwestern state, he says, but nothing came of it. + +The Suffern Story: On October 7, 1975, a 27-year old carpenter, +Robert Suffern, of Bracebridge, Ontario, got a call from his +sister who had seen a "fiery glow" near his barn and concluded it +was on fire. Suffern drove to the spot and, after determining +that there was no problem, got back on the road. There, he would +testify, he encountered a large disc-shaped object resting in his +path. "I was scared," he said. "It was right there in front of me +with no lights and no sign of life." But even before his car +could come to a complete stop, the object abruptly ascended out +of sight. Suffern turned his car around and decided to head home +rather than to his sister's place, his original intended +destination. At that point a small figure wearing a helmet and a +silver-gray suit stepped in front of the car, causing Suffern to +hit the brakes and skid to a stop. The figure ran into a field. +Then, according to Suffern, "when he got to the fence, he put his +hands on a post and went over it with no effort at all. It was +like he was weightless" (UFOIL, n.d.). + + Within two days Suffern's report was on the wire services, and +Suffern was besieged by UFO investigators, journalists, +curiosity-seekers, and others. Suffern, who made no effort to +exploit his story and gave every appearance of believing what he +was saying, soon tired of discussing it. A year later, however, +Suffern and his wife told a Canadian investigator that a month +after the encounter, they were informed that some high-ranking +officials wished to speak with them. Around this time, so they +claimed, they were given thorough examinations by military +doctors. After that an appointment was set up for December 12 and +on that day an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser arrived with +three military officers, one Canadian, two American. They were +carrying books and other documents. In the long conversation that +followed, the officers apologized for the UFO landing, claiming +it was a "mistake" caused by the malfunctioning of an +extraterrestrial spaceship. + + The officers produced close-up pictures of UFOs, claiming that +the U.S. and Canadian governments had had intimate knowledge of +aliens since 1943 and were cooperating with them. The officers +even knew the exact dates and times of two previous but +unreported UFO sightings on the Suffern property. The Sufferns +said the officers had answered all their questions fully and +frankly, but they would not elaborate on what they were told. +Reinterviewed about the matter some months later, the couple +stuck by their story but added few further details. + + The investigator, Harry Tokarz, would remark, "Robert Suffern +strikes one as an individual who carefully measures his thoughts. +His sincerity comes through clearly as he slowly relates his +concepts and ideas. His wife, a home-bred country girl, is quick +to air her views and state unequivocally what she believes to be +fact" (CUFORN, 1983). + +EBEs in South Dakota: On February 9, 1978, a curious document--an +apparent carbon copy of an official U.S. Air Force incident +report-arrived at the office of the National Enquirer in Lantana, +Florida. Accompanying the document was an unsigned letter dated +"29 Jan." It read: "The incident stated in the attached report +actually occurred. The Air Force appointed a special team of +individuals to investigate the incident. I was one of those +individuals. I am still on active duty and so I cannot state my +name at this time. It is not that I do not trust the Enquirer (I +sure [sic] you would treat my name with [sic] confidence but I do +not trust others.) The incident which occurred on 16 Nov. 77, was +classified top secret on 2 Dec 77. At that time I obtained a copy +of the original report. I thought at that time that the Air Force +would probably hush the whole thing up, and they did. The Air +Force ordered the silence on 1 Dec 77, after which, the report +was classified. There were 16 pictures taken at the scene. I do +not have access to the pictures at this time" (Pratt, 1984). + + The report, stamped FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, purported to be from +the commander of the 44th Missile Security Squadron at Ellsworth +AFB near Rapid City, South Dakota. The incident was described as +a "Helping Hand (security violation)/Covered Wagon (security +violation) at Lima 9 (68th SMSq Area), 7 miles SW of Nisland, SD, +at 2100 hours on 16 Nov. 77." The recipient of the report was +identified as "Paul D. Hinzman, SSgt, USAF, Comm/Plotter, Wing +Security Control." Two security men, Airmen 1st Class Kenneth +Jenkins and Wayne E. Raeke, experienced and reported the +incident, which was investigated by Capt. Larry D. Stokes and +TSgt. Robert E. Stewart. + + The document told an incredible story. At 10:59 on the evening +of November 16 an alarm sounded from the Lima Nine missile site. +Jenkins and Raeke, at tHe Lima Launch Control Facility 35 miles +away, were dispatched to the scene. On their arrival Raeke set +out to check the rear fence line. There he spotted a helmeted +figure in a glowing green metallic suit. The figure pointed a +weapon at Raeke's rifle and caused it to disintegrate, burning +Raeke's hands and arms in the process. Raeke summoned Jenkins, +who carried his companion back to their Security Alert Team +vehicle. When Jenkins went to the rear fence line, he saw two +similarly-garbed figures. He ordered them to halt, but when they +ignored his command, he opened fire. His bullets struck one in +the shoulder and the other in the helmet. The figures ran over a +hill and were briefly lost to view. Jenkins pursued them and when +he next saw them, they were entering a 20-foot-in-diameter +saucer-shaped object, which shot away over the Horizon. + + As Raeke was air-evacuated from the scene, investigators +discovered that the missile's nuclear components had been stolen. + + Enquirer reporters suspected a hoax but when they called Rapid +City and Ellsworth to check on the names, they were surprised to +learn that such persons did exist. Moreover, all were on active +duty. The Enquirer launched an investigation, sending several +reporters to Rapid City. Over the course of the next few days +they found that although the individuals were real, the document +inaccurately listed their job titles, the geography of the +alleged incident was wrong (there was no nearby hill over which +intruders could have run), Raeke had suffered no injuries, he and +Jenkins did not even know each other, and no one (including Rapid +City civilian residents and area ranchers) had heard anything +about such an encounter. As one of the reporters, Bob Pratt, +wrote in a subsequent account, "We found more than 20 +discrepancies or errors in the report -wrong names, numbers, +occupations, physical layouts and so on. Had the Security Option +alert mentioned in the report taken place, it would have involved +all security personnel at the base and everyone at the base and +in Rapid City (Population 45,000 plus) would have known about +it." + +The Bennewitz Affair: In the late 1970s Paul Bennewitz, an +Albuquerque businessman trained as a physicist, became convinced +that he was monitoring electromagnetic signals which +extraterrestrials were using to control persons they had +abducted. Bennewitz tried to decode these signals and believed he +was succeeding. At the same time he began to see what he thought +were UFOs maneuvering around the Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage +Facility and the Coyote Canyon test area, located near Kirtland +AFB, and he filmed them. + + Bennewitz reported all this to the Tucson-based Aerial Phenomena +Research Organization (APRO), whose directors were unimpressed, +judging Bennewitz to be deluded. But at Kirtland, Bennewitz's +claims, or at least some of them, were being taken more +seriously. On October 24, 1980, Bennewitz contacted Air Force +Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) agent Sgt. Richard Doty +(whose previous tour of duty had been at Ellsworth) after being +referred to him by Maj. Ernest Edwards, head of base security, +and related that he had evidence that something potentially +threatening was going on in the Manzano Weapons Storage Area. A +"Multipurpose Internal OSI Form," signed by Maj. Thomas A. Cseh +(Commander of the Base Investigative Detachment), dated October +28, 1980, and subsequently released under the Freedom of +Information Act, states: + + "On 26 Oct 80, SA [Special Agent] Doty, with the assistance of +JERRY MILLER, GS-15, Chief, Scientific Advisor for Air Force Test +and Evaluation Center, KAFB , interviewed Dr. BENNEWITZ at his +home in the Four Hills section of Albuquerque, which is adjacent +to the northern boundary of Manzano Base. (NOTE: MILLER is a +former Project Blue Book USAF Investigator who was assigned to +Wright-Patterson AFB (W-PAFB), OH, with FTD [Foreign Technology +Division]. Mr. MILLER is one of the most knowledgeable and +impartial investigators of Aerial Objects in the southwest.) Dr. +BENNEWITZ has been conducting independent research into Aerial +Phenomena for the last 15 months. Dr. BENNEWITZ also produced +several electronic recording tapes, allegedly showing high +periods of electrical magnetism being emitted from Manzano/Coyote +Canyon area. Dr. BENNEWITZ also produced several photographs of +flying objects taken over the general Albuquerque area. He has +several pieces of electronic surveillance equipment pointed at +Manzano and is attempting to record high frequency electrical +beam pulses. Dr. BENNEWITZ claims these Aerial Objects produce +these pulses. . . . After analyzing the data collected by Dr. +BENNEWITZ, Mr MILLER related the evidence clearly shows that some +type of unidentified aerial objects were caught on film; however, +no conclusions could be made whether these objects pose a threat +to Manzano/Coyote Canyon areas. Mr MILLER felt the electronical +[sic] recording tapes were inconclusive and could have been +gathered from several conventional sources. No sightings, other +than these, have been reported in the area." + + On November 10 Bennewitz was invited to the base to present his +findings to a small group of officers and scientists. Exactly one +week later Doty informed Bennewitz that AFOSI had decided against +further consideration of the matter. Subsequently Doty reported +receiving a call from then-New Mexico Sen. Harrison Schmitt, who +wanted to know what AFOSI was planning to do about Bennewitz's +allegations. When informed that no investigation was planned, +Schmitt spoke with Brig. Gen. William Brooksher of base security. +The following July New Mexico's other senator, Pete Domenici, +looked into the matter, meeting briefly with Doty before dashing +off to talk with Bennewitz personally. Domenici subsequently lost +interest and dropped the issue. + + Bennewitz was also aware of supposed cattle mutilations being +reported in the western United States. At one point he met a +young mother who told him that one evening in May 1980, after she +and her six-year-old son saw several UFOs in a field and one +approached them, they suffered confusion and disorientation, then +a period of amnesia which lasted as long as four hours. Bennewitz +brought the two to University of Wyoming psychologist R. Leo +Sprinkle, who hypnotized them and got a detailed abduction story +from the mother and a sketchy one from the little boy. Early in +the course of the abduction they observed aliens take a calf +aboard the UFO and mutilate it while it was still alive, removing +the animal's genitals. At one point during the alleged +experience, the mother said, they were taken via UFO into an +underground area which she believed was in New Mexico. She +briefly escaped her captors and fled into an area where there +were tanks of water. She looked into one of them and saw body +parts such as tongues, hearts and internal organs, apparently +from cattle. But she also observed a human arm with a hand +attached. There was also the "top of a bald head," apparently +from one of the hairless aliens, but before she could find out +for sure, she was dragged away. The objects in the tank, she +said, "horrified me and made me sick and frightened me to death" +(Howe, 1989). Later she wondered about the other tanks and about +their contents. + +The William Moore/MJ-12 Maze: Late in the summer of 1979 William +L. Moore had left a teaching job in a small Minnesota town to +relocate in Arizona, where he hoped to pursue a writing career. +Moore was deeply involved in the investigation of an apparent UFO +crash in New Mexico in July 1947, a case he and Charles Berlitz +would recount in their The Roswell Incident the following year. +After his move to the Southwest Moore became close to Coral and +James Lorenzen of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization +(APRO) and in due course Moore was asked to join the APRO board. +The Lorenzens told him about Bennewitz's claims. Bennewitz, Jim +Lorenzen thought, was "prone to make great leaps of logic on the +basis of incomplete data" (Moore, 1989a). + + The Roswell Incident was published in the summer of 1980 and in +September a debate on UFOs at the Smithsonian Institution was +scheduled to take place. Moore set off from his Arizona home to +Washington, D.C., to attend the debate and along the way promoted +his new book on radio and television shows. According to an +account he would give seven years later, an extraordinary series +of events began while he was on this trip. + + He had done a radio show in Omaha and was in the station lobby, +suitcase in hand, on his way to catch a plane which was to leave +within the hour when a receptionist asked if he was Mr. Moore. He +had a phone call. The caller was a man who claimed to be a +colonel at nearby Offutt AFB, He said, "We think you're the only +one we've heard who seems to know what he's talking about." He +asked if he and Moore could meet and discuss matters further. +Moore said that since he was leaving town in the next few +minutes, that would not be possible, though he wrote down the +man's phone number. + + Moore went on to Washington. On September 8, on his way back, he +did a radio show in Albuquerque. On the way out of the studio the +receptionist told him he had a phone call. The caller, who +identified himself as an individual from nearby Kirtland AFB, +said, "We think you're the only one we've heard about who seems +to know what he's talking about." Moore said, "Where have I heard +that before?" + + Soon afterwards Moore and the individual he would call "Falcon" +met at a local restaurant. Falcon, later alleged (though denied +by Moore) to be U.S. Air Force Sgt. Richard Doty, said he would +be wearing a red tie. This first meeting would initiate a long- +running relationship between Moore (and, beginning in 1982, +partner Jaime Shandera) and 10 members of a shadowy group said to +be connected with military intelligence and to be opposed to the +continuation of the UFO cover-up. The story that emerged from +this interaction goes like this: + + The first UFO crash, involving bodies of small, gray-skinned +humanoids, occurred near Corona, New Mexico, in 1947 (the +"Roswell incident"). Two years later a humanoid was found alive +and it was housed at Los Alamos until its death in the early +1950s. It was called EBE, after "extraterrestrial biological +entity," and it was the first of three the U.S. government would +have in its custody between then and now. An Air Force captain, +now a retired colonel, was EBE-1's constant companion. At first +communication with it was almost impossible; then a speech device +which enabled the being to speak a sort of English was implanted +in its throat. It turned out that EBE-1, the equivalent of a +mechanic on a spaceship, related what it knew of the nature and +purpose of the visitation. + + In response to the Roswell incident, MJ-12-the MJ stands for +"Majestic"--as set up by executive order of President Harry +Truman on September 24, 1947. MJ-12 operates as a policy-making +body. Project Aquarius is an umbrella group in which all the +various compartments dealing with ET-related issues perform their +various functions. Project Sigma conducts electronic +communication with the extraterrestrials, part of an ongoing +contact project run through the National Security Agency since +1964, following a landing at Holloman AFB in late April of that +year. + + Nine extraterrestrial races are visiting the earth. One of these +races, little gray-skinned people from the third planet +surrounding Zeta Reticuli, have been here for 25,000 years and +influenced the direction of human evolution. They also help in +the shaping of our religious beliefs. Some important individuals +within the cover-up want it to end and are preparing the American +people for the reality of the alien presence through the vehicle +of popular entertainment, including the films Close Encounters of +the Third Kind, whose climax is a thinly-disguised version of the +Holloman landing, and ET. + + At CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, there is a thick book +called "The Bible," a compilation of all the various project +reports. + + According to his own account, which he would not relate until +1989, Moore cooperated with his AFOSI sources-including, +prominently, Richard Doty-and provided them with information. +They informed him that there was considerable interest in +Bennewitz. Moore was made to understand that as his part of the +bargain he was to spy on Bennewitz and also on APRO as well as, +in Moore's words, "to a lesser extent, several other individuals" +(Moore, 1989a). He learned that several government agencies were +interested in Bennewitz's activities and they wanted to inundate +him with false information-disinformation, in intelligence +parlance-to confuse him. Moore says he was not one of those +providing the disinformation, but he knew some of those of who +were, such as Doty. + + Bennewitz on his own had already begun to devise a paranoid +interpretation of what he thought he was seeing and hearing, and +the disinformation passed on to him built on that foundation. His +sources told him that the U.S. government and malevolent aliens +are in an uneasy alliance to control the planet, that the aliens +are killing and mutilating not only cattle but human beings, +whose organs they need to lengthen their lives, and that they are +even eating human flesh. In underground bases at government +installations in Nevada and New Mexico human and alien scientists +work together on ghastly experiments, including the creation of +soulless androids out of human and animal body parts. Aliens are +abducting as many as one American in 40 and implanting devices +which control human behavior. ClA brainwashing and other control +techniques are doing the same, turning life on earth into a +nightmare of violence and irrationality. It was, as Moore +remarks, "the wildest science fiction scenario anyone could +possibly imagine." + + But Bennewitz believed it. He grew ever more obsessed and tried +to alert prominent persons to the imminent threat, showing +photographs which he held showed human-alien activity in the +Kirtland area but which dispassionate observers thought depicted +natural rock formations and other mundane phenomena. Eventually +Bennewitz was hospitalized, but on his release resumed his +activities, which continue to this day. Soon the ghoulish +scenario would spread into the larger UFO community and beyond +and command a small but committed band of believers. But that +would not happen until the late 1980s and it would not be +Bennewitz who would be responsible for it. + + In 1981 the Lorenzens received an anonymous letter from someone +identifying himself as a "USAF Airman assigned to the 1550th +Aircrew Training and Testing Wing at Kirtland AFB." The "airman" +said, "On July 16, 1980, at between 10:30-10:45 A.M., Craig R. +Weitzel. .. a Civil Air Patrol Cadet from Dobbins AFB, Ga., +visiting Kirtland AFB, NM, observed a dull metallic colored UFO +flying from South to North near Pecos New Mexico. Pecos has a +secret training site for the 1550th Aircrew Training and Testing +Wing, Kirtland AFB, NM. WEITZEL was with ten other individuals, +including USAF active duty airmen, and all witnessed the +sighting. WEITZEL took some pictures of the object. WEITZEL went +closer to the UFO and observed the UFO land in a clearing +approximately 250 yds, NNW of the training area. WEITZEL observed +an individual dressed in a metallic suit depart the craft and +walk a few feet away. The individual was outside the craft for +just a few minutes. When the individual returned the craft took +off towards the NW." The letter writer said he had been with +Weitzel when the UFO flew overhead, but he had not been with him +to observe the landing. + + The letter went on to say that late on the evening of the next +day a tall, dark-featured, black-suited man wearing sunglasses +called on Weitzel at Kirtland. The stranger claimed to be "Mr. +Huck" from Sandia Laboratories, a classified Department of Energy +contractor on the base. Mr. Huck told Weitzel he had seen +something he should not have seen, a secret aircraft from Los +Alamos, and he demanded all of the photographs. Weitzel replied +that he hadn't taken any, that the photographer was an airman +whose name he did not know. "The individual warned Weitzel not to +mention the sighting to anyone or Weitzel would be in serious +trouble," the writer went on. "After the individual left +Weitzel[']s room, Weitzel wondered how the individual knew of the +sighting because Weitzel didn't report the sighting to anyone. +Weitzel became scared after thinking of the threat the individual +made. Weitzel call [sic] the Kirtland AFB Security Police and +reported the incident to them. They referred the incident to the +Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), which +investigates these matters according to the security police. A +Mr. Dody [sic], a special agent with OSI, spoke with Weitzel and +took a report. Mr. Dody [sic] also obtained all the photographs +of the UFO. Dody [sic] told Weitzel he would look into the +matter. That was the last anyone heard of the incident." + + But that was not all the correspondent had to say. He added, "I +have every reason to beleive [sic] the USAF is covering up +something. I spent a lot of time looking into this matter and I +know there is more to it than the USAF will say. I have heard +rumors, but serious rumors here at Kirtland that the USAF has a +crashed UFO stored in the Manzano Storage area, which is located +in a remote area of Kirtland AFB. This area is heavily guarded by +USAF Security. I have spoke [sic] with two employees of Sandia +Laboratories, who also store classified objects in Manzano, and +they told me that Sandia has examined several UFO's during the +last 20 years. One that crashed near Roswell NM in the late 50's +was examined by Sandia scientists. That craft is still being +store [sic] in Manzano. + + "I have reason to beleive [sic] OSI is conducting a very secret +investigation into UFO sightings. OSI took over when Project Blue +Book was closed. I was told this by my commander, COL Bruce +Purvine. COL Purvine also told me that the investigation was so +secret that most employees of OSI doesn't [sic] even know it. But +COL Purvine told me that Kirtland AFB, AFOSI District 17 has a +special secret detachment that investigates sightings around this +area. They have also investigated the cattle mutilations in New +Mexico." + + In 1985 investigator Benton Jamison located Craig Weitzel, who +confirmed that he had indeed seen a UFO in 1980 and reported it +to Sgt. Doty. But his sighting, while interesting, was rather +less dramatic than the CE3 reported in the letter; Weitzel saw a +silver-colored object some 10,000 to 15,000 feet overhead. After +maneuvering for a few minutes, he told Jamison, it "accelerated +like you never saw anything accelerate before" (Hastings, 1985). +He also said he knew nothing of a meeting with anyone identified +as "Mr. Huck." + + In December 1982, in response to a Freedom of Information +request from Barry Greenwood of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy +(CAUS), Air Force Office of Special Investigations released a +two page OSI Complaint Form stamped "For Official Use Only." +Dated September 8, 1980, it was titled "Kirtland AFB, NM, 8 Aug-3 +Sept 80, Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in +Restricted Test Range." The document described several sightings +of UFOs in the Manzano Weapons Storage Area, at the Coyote Canyon +section of the Department of Defense Restricted Test Range. One +of the reports cited was a New Mexico State Patrolman's August 10 +observation of a UFO landing. (A later check with state police +sources by Larry Fawcett, a Connecticut police officer and UFO +investigator, uncovered no record of such a report. The sources +asserted that the absence of a report could only mean that no +such incident had ever happened.) This intriguing document is +signed by then OSI Special Agent Richard C. Doty. + + In 1987, after comparing three documents (the anonymous letter +to APRO, the September 8, 1980, AFOSI Complaint Form, and a +purported AFOSI document dated August 14, 1980, and claiming +"frequency jamming" by UFOs in the Kirtland area), researcher +Brad Sparks concluded that Doty had written all three. In 1989 +Moore confirmed that Doty had written the letter to APRO. +"Essentially it was 'bait,'" he says. "AFOSI knew that Bennewitz +had close ties with APRO at the time, and they were interested in +recruiting someone within . . . APRO . . . who would be in a +position to provide them with feedback on Bennewitz'[s] +activities and communications. Since I was the APRO Board member +in charge of Special Investigations in 1980, the Weitzel letter +was passed to me for action shortly after it had been received." +According to Bruce Maccabee, Doty admitted privately that he had +written the Ellsworth AFB document, basing it on a real incident +which he wanted to bring to public attention. Doty has made no +public comment on any of these allegations. Moore says Doty "was +almost certainly a part of [the Ellsworth report], but not in a +capacity where he would have been responsible for creating the +documents involved" (Moore, 1989a). + + Doty was also the source of an alleged AFOSI communication dated +November 17, 1980, and destined to become known as the "Aquarius +document." Allegedly sent from AFOSI headquarters at Bolling AFB +in Washington, D.C., to the AFOSI District 17 office at Kirtland, +it mentions, in brief and cryptic form, analyses of negatives +from a UFO film apparently taken the previous month. The version +that circulated through the UFO community states in its +penultimate paragraph: "USAF NO LONGER PUBLICLY ACTIVE IN UFO +RESEARCH, HOWEVER USAF STILL HAS INTEREST IN ALL UFO SIGHTINGS +OVER USAF INSTALLATION/TEST RANGES. SEVERAL OTHER GOVERNMENT +AGENCIES, LED BY NASA, ACTIVELY INVESTIGATES [sic] LEGITIMATE +SIGHTINGS THROUGH COVERT COVER.... ONE SUCH COVER IS UFO +REPORTING CENTER, US COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY, ROCKVILLE, MD +20852, NASA FILTERS RESULTS OF SIGHTINGS TO APPROPRIATE MILITARY +DEPARTMENTS WITH INTEREST IN THAT PARTICULAR SIGHTING. THE +OFFICIAL US GOVERNMENT POLICY AND RESULTS OF PROJECT AQUARIUS IS +[sic] STILL CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET WITH NO DISEMINATION [sic] +OUTSIDE OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CHANNELS AND WITH RESTRICTED ACCESS +TO 'MJ TWELVE'." + + This is the first mention of "MJ-12" in an allegedly official +government document. Moore describes it as an "example of some of +the disinformation produced in connection with the Bennewitz +case. The document is a retyped version of a real AFOSI message +with a few spurious additions." Among the most significant +additions, by Moore's account, are the bogus references to the +U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and to NASA, which he says was NSA +(National Security Agency) in the original. + + According to Moore, Doty got the document "right off the +teletype" (Moore, 1990) and showed it to Moore almost +immediately. Later Doty came by with what purported to be a copy +of it, but Moore noticed that it was not exactly the same; +material had been added to it. Doty said he wanted Moore to give +the doctored copy to Bennewitz. Reluctant to involve himself in +the passing of this dubious document, Moore sat on it for a +while, then finally worried that the sources he was developing, +the ones who were telling him about the U.S. government's alleged +interactions with EBEs, would dry up if he did not cooperate. So +eventually he gave the document to Bennewitz but urged him not to +publicize it. Bennewitz agreed and kept his promise. + + As of September 1982 Moore knew of three copies of the document: +the one Bennewitz had, one Moore had in safekeeping, and one he +had in his briefcase during a trip he made that month to meet +someone in San Francisco. He met the man in the morning and that +afternoon someone broke into his car and stole his briefcase. +Four months later a copy of the document showed up in the hands +of a New York lawyer interested in UFOs, and soon the document +was circulating widely. Moore himself had little to say on the +subject until he delivered a controversial and explosive speech +to the annual conference of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in Las +Vegas in 1989. + + In late 1982, "during," he says, "one of the many friendly +conversations I had with Richard Doty," Moore mentioned that he +was looking into the old (and seemingly discredited) story that a +UFO had crashed in Aztec, New Mexico, in 1948. This tale was the +subject of Frank Scully's 1950 book Behind the Flying Saucers. +(Moore's long account of his investigation into the affair, which +he found to be an elaborate hoax, would appear in the 1985 MUFON +symposium proceedings.) Doty said he had never heard the story +and asked for details, taking notes as Moore spoke. + + On January 10 and 11, 1983, attorney Peter Gersten, director of +CAUS, met with Doty in New Mexico. There were two meetings, the +first of them also attended by Moore and San Francisco television +producer Ron Lakis, the second by Gersten alone. During the first +meeting Doty was guarded in his remarks. But at the second he +spoke openly about what ostensibly were extraordinary secrets. He +said the Ellsworth case was the subject of an investigation by +AFOSI and the FBI; nuclear weapons were involved. The National +Enquirer investigation, which had concluded the story was bogus, +was "amateurish." At least two civilians, a farmer and a deputy +sheriff, had been involved, but were warned not to talk. The +government knows why UFOs appear in certain places, Doty said, +but he would not elaborate. He added, however, that "beyond a +shadow of a doubt they're extraterrestrial" (Greenwood, 1988) and +from 50 light years from the earth. He knew of at least three UFO +crashes, the Roswell incident and two others, one from the 1950s, +the other from the 196Os. Bodies had been recovered. A +spectacular incident, much like the one depicted in the ending of +the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, took place in 1966 +The NSA was involved in communications with extraterrestrials; +the effort is called Project Aquarius. Inside the UFO +organizations government moles are collecting information and +spreading disinformation. Doty discussed the Aquarius document +and said the really important documents are impossible to get out +of the appropriate files. Some are protected in such a way that +they will disintegrate within five seconds' exposure to air. +These documents tell of agreements between the U.S. government +and extraterrestrials under which the latter are free to conduct +animal mutilations (especially of cattle) and to land at a +certain base, in exchange for information about advanced UFO +technology. Doty also claimed that via popular entertainment the +American people are being prepared to accept the reality of +visitation by benevolent beings from other worlds. + + At one point in the conversation Doty asked Gersten, "How do you +know that I'm not here to either give you misinformation or to +give you information which is part of the programming, knowing +you are going to go out and spread it around?" (Howe, 1989). + + In the 1970s, as director of special projects for the Denver +CBS-TV affiliate, Linda Moulton Howe had produced 12 +documentaries, most of them dealing with scientific, +environmental and health issues. But the one that attracted the +most attention was Strange Harvest, which dealt with the then- +widespread reports that cattle in Western and Midwestern states +were being killed and mutilated by persons or forces unknown. +Most veterinary pathologists said the animals were dying of +unknown causes. Farmers, ranchers and some law-enforcement +officers thought the deaths were mysterious. Some even speculated +that extraterrestrials were responsible. This possibility +intrigued Howe, who had a lifelong interest in UFOs, and Strange +Harvest argues for a UFO mutilation link. + + In the fall of 1982, as Howe was working on a documentary on an +unrelated matter, she got a call from Home Box Office (HBO). The +caller said the HBO people had been impressed with Strange +Harvest and wanted to know if Howe would do a film on UFOs. In +March 1983 she went to New York to sign a contract with HBO for a +show to be titled UFOs-The ET Factor. + + The evening before her meeting with the HBO people, Howe had +dinner with Gersten and science writer Patrick Huyghe. Gersten +told Howe that he had met with Sgt. Doty, an AFOSI agent at +Kirtland AFB, and perhaps Doty would be willing to talk on camera +or in some other helpful capacity about the incident at +Ellsworth. Gersten would call him and ask if he would be willing +to meet with Howe. + + Subsequently arrangements were made for Howe to fly to +Albuquerque on April 9. Doty would meet her at the airport. But +when she arrived that morning, no one was waiting. She called his +home. A small boy answered and said his father was not there. +Howe then phoned Jerry Miller, Chief of Reality Weapons Testing +at Kirtland and a former Blue Book investigator. (He is mentioned +in the October 28, 1980, "Multipurpose Internal OSI Form" +reporting on Doty and Miller's meeting with Bennewitz.) She knew +Miller from an earlier telephone conversation, when she had +called to ask him about Bennewitz's claims, in which she had a +considerable interest. Miller asked for a copy of Strange +Harvest. Later he had given Howe his home phone number and said +to contact him if she ever found herself in Albuquerque. So she +called and asked if he would pick her up at the airport. + + Miller drove Howe to his house. On the way Howe asked him a +number of questions but got little in the way of answers. One +question he did not answer was whether he is the "Miller" +mentioned in the Aquarius document. When they got to Miller's +residence, Miller called Doty at his home, and Doty arrived a few +minutes later, responding aggressively to Howe's question about +where he had been. He claimed to have been at the airport all +along; where had she been? "Perhaps," Howe would write, "he had +decided he didn't want to go through with the meeting, and it was +acceptable in his world to leave me stranded at the airport-until +Jerry Miller called his house" (Howe, 1989). + + On the way to Kirtland, Howe asked Doty, whose manner remained +both defiant and nervous, if he knew anything about the Holloman +landing. Doty said it happened but that Robert Emenegger had the +date wrong; it was not May 1971 but April 25, 1964-12 Hours after +a much-publicized CE3 reported by Socorro, New Mexico, policeman +Lonnie Zamora. (Zamora said he had seen an egg-shaped object on +the ground. Standing near it were two child-sized beings in white +suits.) Military and scientific personnel at the base knew a +landing was coming, but "someone blew the time and coordinates" +and an "advance military scout ship" had come down at the wrong +time and place, to be observed by Zamora. When three UFOs +appeared at Holloman at six o'clock the following morning, one +landed while the other two hovered overhead. During the meeting +between the UFO beings and a government party, the preserved +bodies of dead aliens had been given to the aliens , who in turn +had returned something unspecified. Five ground and aerial +cameras recorded this event. + + At the Kirtland gate Doty waved to the guard and was let +through. They went to a small white and gray building. Doty took +her to what he described as "my - boss' office." Doty seemed +unwilling to discuss the Ellsworth case, the ostensible reason +for the interview, but had much to say about other matters. First +he asked Howe to move from the chair on which she was sitting to +another in the middle of the room. Howe surmised that this was to +facilitate the surreptitious recording of their conversation, but +Doty said only, "Eyes can see through windows." + + "My superiors have asked me to show you this," he said. He +produced a brown envelope he had taken from a drawer in the desk +at which he was sitting and withdrew several sheets of white +paper. As he handed them to Howe, he warned her that they could +not be copied; all she could do was read them in his presence and +ask questions. + + The document gave no indication anywhere as to which government, +military or scientific agency (if any) had prepared the report, +titled A Briefing Paper for the President of the United States on +the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles. The title did not +specify which President it had in mind, nor did the document list +a date (so far as Howe recalls today) which would have linked it +to a particular administration. + + + The first paragraph, written--as was everything that followed-- +in what Howe characterizes as "dry bureaucratese," listed dates +and locations of crashes and retrievals of UFOs and their +occupants. The latter were invariably described as 3 1/2 to four +feet tall, gray-skinned and hairless, with oversized heads, large +eyes and no noses. It was now known, the document stated on a +subsequent page, that these beings, from a nearby solar system, +have been here for many thousands of years. Through genetic +manipulation they influenced the course of human evolution and in +a sense created us. They had also helped shape our religious +beliefs. + + The July 1947 Roswell crash was mentioned; so, however, was +another one at Roswell in 1949. Investigators at the site found +five bodies and one living alien, who was taken to a safe house +at the Los Alamos National Laboratory north of Albuquerque. The +aliens, small gray-skinned humanoids, were known as +"extraterrestrial biological entities" and the living one was +called "EBE" (ee-buh). EBE was befriended (if that was the word) +by an Air Force officer, but the being died of unknown causes on +June 18, 1952. (EBE's friend, by 1964 a colonel, was among those +who were there to greet the aliens who landed at Holloman.) +Subsequently, it would be referred to as EBE-1, since in later +years another such being, EBE-2, would take up residence in a +safe house. After that, a third, EBE-3, appeared on the scene and +was now living in secret at an American base. + + The briefing paper said other crashes had occurred one near +Kingman, Arizona, another just south of Texas in northern Mexico. +It also mentioned the Aztec crash- The wreckage and bodies had +been removed to such facilities as Los Alamos laboratory and +Wright-Patterson AFB. A number of highly classified projects +dealt with these materials. They included Snowbird (research and +development from the study of an intact spacecraft left by the +aliens as a gift) and Aquarius (the umbrella operation under +which the research and contact efforts were coordinated). Project +Sigma was the ongoing electronic communications effort. There was +also a defunct project Garnet, intended to investigate +extraterrestrial influence on human evolution. According to the +document, extraterrestrials have appeared at various intervals in +human history-25,000, 15,000, 5000 and 2500 years ago as well as +now--to manipulate human and other DNA. + + One paragraph stated briefly, "Two thousand years ago +extraterrestrials created a being" who was placed here to teach +peace and love. Elsewhere a passing mention was made of another +group of EBEs, called the "Talls." + + The paper said Project Blue Book had existed solely to take heat +off the Air Force and to draw attention away from the real +projects. Doty mentioned an "MJ-12," explaining that "MJ" stood +for "Majority." It was a policy-making body whose membership +consisted of 12 very high-ranking government scientists, military +officers and intelligence officials. These were the men who made +the decisions governing the cover-up and the contacts. + + Doty said Howe would be given thousands of feet of film of +crashed discs, bodies, EBE-1 and the Holloman landing and +meeting. She could use this material in her documentary to tell +the story of how U.S. officials learned that the earth is being +visited and what they have done about it. "We want you to do the +film," Howe quotes him as saying. + + When Howe asked why she, not the New York Times, the Washington +Post or 60 Minutes, was getting this, the story of the +millennium, Doty replied bluntly that an individual media person +is easier to manipulate and discredit than a major organization +with expensive attorneys. He said that another plan to release +the information, through Emenegger and Sandler, had been halted +because political conditions were not right. + + Over the next weeks Howe had a number of phone conversations +with Doty, mostly about technical problems related to converting +old film to videotape. She spoke on several occasions with three +other men but did not meet them personally. + + Doty suggested that eventually she might be allowed to film an +interview with EBE-3. But the current film project was to have a +historical emphasis; it would deal with events between 1949 and +1964. If at some point she did meet EBE-3, however, there was no +way she could prepare herself for the "shock and fear" of meeting +an alien being. + + Howe, of course, had informed her HBO contacts, Jean Abounader +and her superior Bridgett Potter, of these extraordinary +developments. Howe urged them to prepare themselves, legally and +otherwise, for the repercussions that would surely follow the +release of the film. The HBO people told her she would have to +secure a letter of intent from the U.S. government with a +legally-binding commitment to release the promised film footage. +When Howe called Doty about it, he said, "I'll work on it." He +said he would mail the letter directly to HBO. + + Then HBO told her it would not authorize funds for the film +production until all the evidence was in hand and, as Potter put +it, Howe had the "President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of +State and Joint Chiefs of Staff to back it up" (Howe, 1989). But +proceed anyway, Howe was told. Now she was furious at both HBO +and Doty. + + When she called him at the base, he remarked that he had good +news and bad news. She and a small crew would soon be able to +interview the retired colonel (then a captain) who had spent +three years with EBE-1. The bad news was that it would be three +months before the thousands of feet of film of EBE-1 and the +Holloman landing/contact would be available. Meanwhile, before +she could screen the footage, Howe would have to sign three +security oaths and undergo a background check. She would also +have to supply photographs of all the technical assistants who +would accompany her to the interview. + + The interview was repeatedly set up and canceled. Then in June +Doty called to say he was officially out of the project. This was +a blow because Doty was the only one she could call. She did not +know how to get in touch with the others and always had to wait +for them to contact her. + + By October the contacts had decreased. The same month her +contract with HBO expired. All she had was the name of the +Washington contact. In March 1984 this individual called her +office three times, although she was out of town working on a +non-UFO story at the time. "Upon returning home," she writes, "I +learned the man was contacting me to explain there would be +further delays in the film project after the November 1984 +election" (Howe, 1989). + + For Howe that was the end of the matter, except for a brief +sequel. On March 5, 1988, Doty wrote ufologist Larry W. Bryant, +who had unsuccessfully sought access to Doty's military records +through the Freedom of Information Act, and denied that he had +ever discussed government UFO secrets or promised footage of +crashed discs, bodies and live EBEs. Howe responded by making a +sworn statement about the meeting an producing copies of her +correspondence from the period with both Doty and HBO. + + + In 1989 Moore said that "in early 1983 I became aware that Rick +[Doty] was involved with a team of several others, including one +fellow from Denver that I knew of and at least one who was +working out of Washington, D.C., in playing an elaborate +disinformation scheme against a prominent UfO researcher who, at +the time, had close connections with a major television film +company interested in doing a UFO documentary." He was referring +to Howe, of course. The episode was a counterintelligence sting +operation, part of the "wall of disinformation" intended to +"confuse" the Bennewitz issue and to "call his credibility into +question." Because of Howe's interest in Bennewitz's work, +according to Moore, "certain elements within the intelligence +community were concerned that the story of his having intercepted +low frequency electromagnetic emissions from the Coyote Canyon +area of the Kirtland/Sandia complex would end up as part of a +feature film. Since this in turn might influence others (possibly +even the Russians) to attempt similar experiments, someone in a +control position apparently felt it had to be stopped before it +got out of hand." In his observation, Moore said, "the government +seemed hell bent on severing the ties that existed between [Howe] +and [HBO]" (Moore, 1989b). + + Doty's assertion that Howe had misrepresented their meeting was +not to be taken seriously, according to Moore, since Doty was +bound by a security oath and could not discuss the matter freely +Moore said that the Aztec crash, known beyond reasonable doubt +never to have occurred, was something Doty had added to the +document after learning from Moore of his recent investigation of +the hoax. + + In December 1984, in the midst of continuing contact with their +own sources (Doty and a number of others) who claimed to be +leaking the secret of the cover-up, Moore's associate Jaime +Shandera received a roll of 35mm film containing, it turned out +what purported to be a briefing paper dated November 18, 1952, +and intended for president-elect Eisenhower. The purported +author, Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, reported that an "Operation +Majestic-12," consisting of a dozen top scientists, military +officers and intelligence specialists, had been set up by +presidential order on September 24, 1947, to study the Roswell +remains and the four humanoid bodies that had been recovered +nearby. The document report that the team directed by MJ12 member +and physiologist Detlev Bronk "has suggested the term 'Extra- +terrestrial Biological Entities', or 'EBEs', be adopted as the +standard term of reference for these creatures until such time as +a more definitive designation can be agreed upon." Brief mention +is also made of a December 6, 1950, crash along the Texas-Mexico +border. Nothing is said, however, about live aliens or +communications with them. + + In July 1985 Moore and Shandera, acting on tips from their +sources, traveled to Washington and spent a few days going +through recently declassified documents in Record Group 341, +including Top Secret Air Force intelligence files from USAF +Headquarters. In the 126th box whose contents they examined, they +found a brief memo dated July 14, 1954, from Robert Cutler, +Special Assistant to the President, to Gen. Nathan Twining. It +says "The president has decided that the MJ-12/SSP [Special +Studies Project] briefing should take place during the already +scheduled White House meeting of July 16 rather than following it +as previously intended. More precise arrangements will be +explained to you upon your arrival. Your concurrence in the above +change of arrangements is assumed" (Friedman, 1987). + + The Cutler/Twining memo, as it would be called in the +controversies that erupted after Moore released the MJ-12 +document to the world in the spring of 1987, is the only official +document-not to be confused with such disputed ones as the +November 17, 1980, Aquarius document-to mention MJ-12. (Several +critics of the MJ-12 affair have questioned the memo's +authenticity as well, but so far without unambiguous success.) +The memo does not, of course, say what the MJ12 Special Studies +Project was. + +MJ-12 Goes Public: Just prior to Moore's release of the MJ-12 +briefing paper, another copy was leaked to British ufologist +Timothy Good, who took his copy to the press. The first newspaper +article on it appeared in the London Observer of May 31, 1987, +and soon it was the subject of pieces in the New York Times, +Washington Post and ABC-TV's Nightline. It was also denounced, +not altogether persuasively, both by professional debunkers and +by many ufologists. The dispute would rage without resolution +well into 1989, when critics discovered that President Truman's +signature on the September 24, 1947, executive order (appended to +the briefing paper) was exactly like his signature on an +undisputed, UFO-unrelated October 1, 1947, letter to his science +adviser (and supposed MJ-12 member) Vannevar Bush. To all +appearances a forger had appended a real signature to a fake +letter. The MJ-12 document began to look like another +disinformation scheme. + + Although acutely aware of the mass of disinformation circulating +throughout the UFO community, Moore remained convinced that at +least some of the information his own sources were giving him was +authentic. In 1988 he provided two of his sources, "Falcon" (Sgt. +Doty according to some) and "Condor" (later claimed to be former +U.S. Air Force Capt. Robert Collins), to a television production +company. (Moore and Shandera had given them avian names and +called the sources collectively "the birds.") UFO Cover-up . . . +Live, a two-hour program, aired in October 1988, with Falcon and +Condor, their faces shaded, their voices altered, relating the +same tales with which they had regaled Moore and Shandera. The +show, almost universally judged a laughable embarrassment, was +most remembered for the informants' statements that the aliens +favored ancient Tibetan music and strawberry ice cream. Critics +found the latter allegation especially hilarious. + + +Lear's Conspiracy Theory: Events on the UFO scene were taking a +yet more bizarre turn that same year as even wilder tales began +to circulate. The first to tell them was John Lear, a pilot with +a background in the CIA and the estranged son of aviation legend +William P. Lear. Lear had surfaced two or three years earlier, +but aside from his famous father there seemed little to +distinguish him from any of hundreds of other UFO buffs who +subscribe to the field's publications and show up at its +conferences. But then he started claiming that unnamed sources +had told him of extraordinary events which made those told by +Doty and the birds sound like bland and inconsequential +anecdotes. + + According to Lear, not just a few but dozens of flying saucers +had crashed over the years. In 1962 the U.S. government started +Project Redlight to find a way to fly the recovered craft, some +relatively intact. A similar project exists even now and is run +out of supersecret military installation; one is Area 51 +(specifically at a facility called S4) at the Nevada Test Site +and the other is set up near Dulce, New Mexico. These areas, +unfortunately, may no longer be under the control of the +government or even of the human race. In the late 1960s an +official agency so secret that not even the President may know of +it had made an agreement with the aliens. In exchange for +extraterrestrial technology the secret government would permit +(or at least not interfere with) a limited number of abductions +of human beings; the aliens, however, were to provide a list of +those they planned to kidnap. + + All went relatively well for a few years. Then in 1973 the +government discovered that thousands of persons who were not on +the alien's list were being abducted. The resulting tensions led +to an altercation in 1978 or 1979. The aliens held and then +killed 44 top scientists as well as a number of Delta force +troops who had tried to free them. Ever since, frantic efforts, +of which the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") is the +most visible manifestation, have been made to develop a defense +against the extraterrestrials, who are busy putting implants into +abductees (as many as one in 10 Americans) to control their +behavior. At some time in the near future these people will be +used for some unknown, apparently sinister, alien purpose. Even +worse than all this, though, is the aliens' interest in Human +flesh. Sex and other organs are taken from both human beings and +cattle and used to create androids in giant vats located in +underground laboratories at Area 51 and Dulce. The +extraterrestrials, from an ancient race near the end of its +evolution, also use materials from human body parts as a method +of biological rejuvenation. ("In order to sustain themselves," he +said, "they use an enzyme or hormonal secretion obtained from the +tissue that they extract from humans and animals. The secretions +are then mixed with hydrogen peroxide and applied on the skin by +spreading or dipping parts of their bodies in the solution. The +body absorbs the solution, then excretes the waste back through +the skin" [Berk and Renzi, 1988].) + + One of Lear's major sources was Bennewitz, who had first heard +these scary stories from AFOSI personnel at Kirtland in the early +1980s. By this time Bennewitz had become something of a guru to a +small group of UFO enthusiasts, Linda Howe among them, who +believed extraterrestrials were mutilating cattle and had no +trouble believing they might do the same thing to people. Also +Lear, whose political views are far to the right of center, was +linking his UFO beliefs with conspiracy theories about a +malevolent secret American government which was attempting to use +the aliens for its own purposes, including enslavement of the +world's people through drug addiction. A considerable body of +rightwing conspiracy literature, some with barely-concealed anti- +Semitic overtones, was making similar charges. Lear himself was +not anti-Semitic, but he did share conspiracy beliefs with those +who were. + + Another of his claimed sources was an unnamed physicist who, +Lear claimed, had actually worked at S4. To the many ufologists +who rejected Lear's stories as paranoid, lunatic or fabricated +(though not by the patently-sincere Lear), there was widespread +skepticism about this physicist's existence. It turned out that +he did indeed exist. His name is Robert Lazar, who, according to +a story broken by reporter George Knapp on KLAS-TV, the ABC +affiliate in Las Vegas, on November 11 and 13, 1989, claims to +have worked on alien technology projects at Area 51. Lazar, whose +story is being investigated by both ufologists and mainstream +journalists, has not endorsed Lear's claims about human-alien +treaties, man-eating ETs or any of the rest and has distanced +himself from Lear and his associates. His claims, while fantastic +by most standards, are modest next to Lears. + +Cooper's Conspiracy Theory: Soon Lear was joined by someone with +an even bigger supply of fabulous yarns: one Milton William +Cooper. Cooper surfaced on December 18, 1988, when his account of +the fantastic secrets he learned while a Naval petty officer +appeared on a computer network subscribed to by ufologists and +others interested in anomalous phenomena. Cooper said that while +working as a quartermaster with an intelligence team for Adm. + + +Bernard Clarey, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Meet, in the +early 1970s he saw two documents, Project Grudge Special Report +13 and a Majority briefing. (In conventional UFO history, Grudge +was the second public Air Force UFO project, superseding the +original Sign, in early 1949 and lasting until late 1951, when it +was renamed Blue Book. Whereas Sign investigators at one time +concluded UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin--a conclusion the +Air force leadership found unacceptable--Grudge, as its name +suggests coincidentally or otherwise, was known for its hostility +to the idea of UFOs and for its eagerness to assign conventional +explanations, warranted or otherwise, to the sighting reports +that came its way.) Cooper's account of what was in these reports +is much like the by-now familiar story of crashes, bodies, +contacts and projects, with some elaborations. Moreover, he said +the aliens were called "ALFs" (which as any television viewer +knows, stands for Alien Life forms) and the "M" in MJ-12 is for +Majority not Majestic. Later he would say he had seen photographs +of aliens, including a type he called the "big-nosed grays"-like +those that supposedly landed at Holloman in 1964 or 1971. The +U.S. government was in contact with them and alien-technology +projects were going on at Area 51. + + If this sounded like a rehash of Moore and Lear, that was only +because Cooper had yet to pull out all the stops. On May 23, +1989, Cooper produced a 25-page document titled The Secret +Government: The Origin, Identity And Purpose of MJ-12. He +presented it as a lecture in Las Vegas a few weeks later. In +Cooper's version of the evolving legend, the "secret government," +an unscrupulous group of covert CIA and other intelligence +operatives who keep many of their activities sealed from even the +President's knowledge, runs the country. One of its first acts +was to murder one-time Secretary of Defense (and alleged early +MJ-12 member) James Forrestal the death was made to look like +suicide-because he threatened to expose the UFO cover-up. +Nonetheless, President Truman, fearing an invasion from outer +space, kept other nations, including the Soviet Union, abreast of +developments. But keeping all this secret was a real problem, so +an international secret society known as the Bilderbergers, +headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, was formed. Soon it became +a secret world government and "now controls everything," Cooper +said. + + All the while flying saucers were dropping like flies out of the +heavens. In 1953 there were 10 crashes in the United States +alone. Also that year, astronomers observed huge spaceships +heading toward the earth and in time entering into orbit around +the equator. Project Plato was established to effect +communication with these new aliens. One of the ships landed and +a face-to-face meeting took place, and plans for diplomatic +relations were laid. Meanwhile a race of human-looking aliens +warned the U.S. government that the new visitors were not to be +trusted and that if the government got rid of its nuclear +weapons, the human aliens would help us in our spiritual +development, which would keep us from destroying ourselves +through wars and environmental pollution. The government rejected +these overtures. + + The big-nosed grays, the ones who had been orbiting the equator, +landed again, this time at Holloman AFB, in 1954 and reached an +agreement with the U.S. government. These beings stated that they +were from a dying planet that orbits Betelguese. At some point in +the not too distant future, they said, they would have to leave +there for good. A second meeting took place not long afterwards +at Edwards AFB in California. This time President Eisenhower was +there to sign a formal treaty and to meet the first alien +ambassador, "His Omnipotent Highness Krlll," pronounced Krill. +He, in common with his fellow space travelers, wore a trilateral +insignia on his uniform; the same design appears on all +Betelguese spacecraft. + + According to Cooper's account, the treaty's provisions were +these: Neither side would interfere in the affairs of the other. +The aliens would abduct humans from time to time and would return +them unharmed, with no memory of the event. It would provide a +list of names of those it was going to take. The U.S. government +would keep the aliens' presence a secret and it would receive +advanced technology from them. The two sides would exchange 16 +individuals each for the purpose of learning from and teaching +each other. The aliens would stay on earth and the humans would +go to the other planet, then return after a specified period of +time. The two sides would jointly occupy huge underground bases +which would be constructed at hidden locations in the Southwest. + + (It should be noted that the people listed as members of MJ-12 +are largely from the Council on Foreign Relations and the +Trilateral Commission. These organizations play a prominent role +in conspiracy theories of the far right. In a book on the subject +George Johnson writes, "After the Holocaust of World War II, +anti-Semitic conspiracy theories became repugnant to all but the +fringe of the American right. Populist fears of the power of the +rich became focused instead on organizations that promote +international capitalism, such as the Trilateral Commission, the +Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderbergers, a group of +world leaders and businesspeople who held one of their early +conferences on international relations at the Bilderberg Hotel in +the Netherlands" [Johnson, 1983]. According to Cooper, the +trilateral emblem is taken directly from the alien flag. He adds +that under Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter MJ-12 became known +as the 50 Committee. Under Reagan it was renamed the PI-40 +Committee.) + + + By 1955, during the Eisenhower years, Cooper charged, officials +learned for certain what they had already begun to suspect a year +earlier: that the aliens had broken the treaty before the ink on +it had time to dry. They were killing and mutilating both human +beings and animals, failing to supply a complete list of +abductees, and not returning some of those they had taken. On top +of that, they were conspiring with the Soviets, manipulating +society through occultism, witchcraft, religion and secret +organizations. Eisenhower prepared a secret executive memo, NSC +5411, ordering a study group of 35 top members (the "Jason +Society") associated with the Council on Foreign Relations to +"examine aIl the facts, evidence, lies, and deception and +discover the truth of the alien question" (Cooper, 1989). Because +the resulting meetings were held at Quantico Marine Base, they +were called the Quantico meetings. Those participating included +Edward Teller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger and Nelson +Rockefeller. + + The group decided that the danger to established social, +economic, religious and political institutions was so grave that +no one must know about the aliens, not even Congress. That meant +that alternative sources of funding would have to be found. It +also concluded that the aliens were using human organs and tissue +to replenish their deteriorating genetic structure. + + Further, according to Cooper, overtures were made to the Soviet +Union and other nations so that all the earth could join together +to deal with the alien menace. Research into sophisticated new +weapons systems commenced. Intelligence sources penetrated the +Vatican hoping to learn the Fatima prophecy which had been kept +secret ever since 1917. It was suspected that the Fatima, +Portugal, "miracle" was an episode of alien manipulation. As it +turned out, the prophecy stated that in 1992 a child would unite +the world under the banner of a false religion. By 1995 people +would figure out that he was the Anti-Christ. That same year +World War III would begin when an alliance of Arab nations +invaded Israel. This would lead to nuclear war in 1999. The next +four years would see horrible death and suffering all over the +planet. Christ would return in 2011. + + When confronted about this, claimed Cooper, the aliens candidly +acknowledged it was true. They knew it because they had traveled +into the future via time machine and observed it with their own +eyes. They added that they created us through genetic +manipulation. Later the Americans and the Soviets also developed +time travel and confirmed the Fatima/ET vision of the future. + + In 1957 the Jason group met again, by order of Eisenhower, to +decide what to do. It came up with three alternatives: (l) Use +nuclear bombs to blow holes in the stratosphere so that pollution +could escape into space. (2) Build a huge network of tunnels +under the earth and save enough human beings of varying cultures, +occupations and talents so that the race could reemerge after the +nuclear and environmental catastrophes to come. Everybody else- +i.e., the rest of humanity--would be left on the surface +presumably to die. (3) Employ alien and terrestrial technology to +leave earth and colonize the moon (code name "Adam") and Mars +("Eve"). The first alternative was deemed impractical, so the +Americans and the Soviets started working on the other two. +Meanwhile they decided that the population would have to be +controlled, which could be done most easily by killing off as +many "undesirables" as possible. Thus AIDS and other deadly +diseases were introduced into the population. Another idea to +raise needed funds was quickly acted on: sell drugs on a massive +scale. An ambitious young member of the Council on Foreign +Relations, a Texas oil-company president named George Bush, was +put in charge of the project, with the aid of the CIA. "The plan +worked better than anyone had thought " CooPer said. "The CIA now +controls all the worlds [sic] illegal drug markets" (Cooper, +1989). + + Unknown to just about everybody, a secret American/Soviet/alien +space base existed on the dark side of the moon. By the early +1960s human colonies were thriving on the surface of Mars. All +the while the naive people of the earth were led to believe the +Soviets and the Americans were something other than the closest +allies. But Cooper's story got even more bizarre and byzantine. + + He claimed that in 1963, when President Kennedy found out some +of what was going on, he gave an ultimatum to MJ-12: get out of +the drug business. He also declared that in 1964 he would tell +the American people about the alien visitation. Agents of MJ-12 +ordered his assassination. Kennedy was murdered in full view of +many hundreds of onlookers, none of whom apparently noticed, by +the Secret Service agent driving the President's car in the +motorcade. + + In 1969, reported Cooper, a confrontation between human +scientists and aliens at the Dulce laboratory resulted in the +former's being taken hostage by the latter. Soldiers who tried to +free the scientists were killed, unable to overcome the superior +alien weapons. The incident led to a two-year rupture in +relations. The alliance was resumed in 1971 and continues to this +day, even as a vast invisible financial empire run by the CIA, +the NSA and the Council on Foreign Relations runs drugs, launders +money and encourages massive street crime so that Americans will +be susceptible to gun-control legislation. The CIA has gone so +far as to employ drugs and hypnosis to cause mentally-unstable +individuals to commit mass murder of schoolchildren and other +innocents, the point being to encourage anti-gun hysteria. All of +this is part of the plot, aided and abetted by the mass media +(also under the secret government's control), to so scare +Americans that they will soon accept the declaration of martial +law when that happens, people will be rounded up and put in +concentration camps already in place. From there they will be +flown to the moon and Mars to work as slave labor in the space +colonies. + + + The conspirators already run the world. As Cooper put it, "Even +a cursory investigation by the most inexperienced researcher will +show that the members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the +Trilateral commission control the major foundations, all of the +major media and publishing interests, the largest banks, all the +major corporations, the - upper echelons of the government, and +many other vital interests." + +Reaction to Lear and Cooper: Whereas Lear had felt some +obligation to name a source or two, or at least to mutter +something about "unnamed sources," Cooper told his lurid and +outlandish tale as if it were so self-evidently true that sources +or supporting data were irrelevant. And to the enthusiastic +audiences flocking to Cooper's lectures, no evidence was +necessary. By the fall of the year Cooper was telling his +stories--whose sources were, in fact, flying-saucer folklore, +AFOSI disinformation unleashed during the Bennewitz episode, +conspiracy literature, and outright fiction--to large crowds of +Californians willing to pay $l0 or $15 apiece for the thrill of +being scared silly. + + Lear and Cooper soon were joined by two other tellers of tales +of UFO horrors and Trilateral conspiracies, William English and +John Grace (who goes under the pseudonym "Val Valarian" and heads +the Nevada Aerial Research Group in Las Vegas). + + Few if any mainstream ufologists took these stories seriously +and at first treated them as something of a bad joke. But when it +became clear that Lear, Cooper and company were commanding +significant media attention and finding a following among the +larger public interested in ufology's fringes, where a claim's +inherent improbability had never been seen as an obstacle to +believe in it, the leaders of the UFO community grew ever more +alarmed. + + One leader who was not immediately alarmed was Walter H. Andrus, +Jr., director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the two +largest UFO organizations in the United States (the other being +the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies [CUFOS]). In 1987, +before Lear had proposed what some wags would call the Dark Side +Hypothesis, he had offered to host the 1989 MUFON conference in +Las Vegas. Andrus agreed. But as Lear's true beliefs became +known, leading figures within MUFON expressed concern about +Lear's role in the conference. When Andrus failed to respond +quickly, MUFON officials were infuriated. + + Facing a possible palace revolt, Andrus informed Lear that +Cooper, whom Lear had invited to speak at the conference, was not +an acceptable choice. But to the critics on the MUFON board and +elsewhere in the organization, this was hardly enough. One of +them, longtime ufologist Richard Hall, said this was "like +putting a Band-Aid on a hemorrhage" (Hall, 1989). In a heated +telephone exchange Andrus called Hall's objections to Lear "just +one man's opinion" and claimed support, which turned out not to +exist, from other MUFON notables. In a widely-distributed open +letter to Andrus, Hall wrote, "Having Lear run the symposium and +be a major speaker at it is comparable to NICAP in the 1960's +having George Adamski run a NICAP conference! " (NICAP, the +National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, of which +Hall was executive secretary in the late 1950s and much of the +1960s, was a conservative UFO-research organization which +attacked as fraudulent the claims of Adamski, who wrote books +about his meetings with Venusians and distributed photographs of +what he said were their spaceships.) Hall went on, "You seem to +be going for the colorful and the spectacular rather than for the +critical-minded approach of science; you even expressed the view- +in effect-that having a panel to question Lear critically would +be good show biz and the 'highlight' of the symposium. Maybe so, +but it obviously would dominate the entire program, grab off all +major news media attention, and put UFO research in the worst +possible light." Hall declared, "I am hereby resigning from the +MUFON Board and I request that my name be removed from all MUFON +publications or papers that indicate me to be a Board Member." + + Fearing more resignations, Andrus moved to make Lear barely more +than a guest at his own conference. He was not to lecture there, +as previously planned, and hosting duties would be handled, for +the most part, by others. Lear ended up arranging an "alternative +conference" at which he, Cooper, English and Don Ecker presented +the latest elaborations on the Dark Side Hypothesis. + Meanwhile another storm was brewing. On March 1, 1989, an +Albuquerque ufologist, Robert Hastings, issued a 13-page +statement, with 37 pages of appended documents, and mailed it to +many of ufology's most prominent individuals. Hastings opened +with these remarks: + + "First, it has been established that 'Falcon,' one of the +principle [sic] sources of the MJ-12 material, is Richard C. +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." +(Collins, a scientist, was assigned to the plasma physics group +at Sandia National Laboratories on the Kirtland Air Force Base. +Following his retirement he moved to Indiana and remains actively +interested in UFOs.) + + Hastings reviewed evidence of Doty's involvement in the +concoction of various questionable documents and stories, +including the Ellsworth tale and the Weitzel affair. He also +noted important discrepancies between the paper Howe saw and the +MJ-12 briefing document. For example, while the first mentioned +the alleged Aztec crash, the second said nothing about it at all. +Hastings wondered, "[I]f 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?" +(Hastings, 1989). Hastings also had much critical to say about +Moore, especially about an incident in which Moore had flashed a +badge in front of ufologist/cover-up investigator Lee Graham and +indicated he was working with the government on a project to +release UFO information. (Moore would characterize this as a +misguided practical joke.) + + Both Moore and Doty denied that the latter was Falcon. They +claimed Doty had been given that pseudonym long after the 1983 +meeting with Howe. Howe, however, stuck by her account. Moore and +Doty said the real Falcon, an older man than Doty had been in the +studio audience as the video of his interview was being broadcast +on UFO Cover-up. . . Live. Doty himself was in New Mexico +training with the state police. + +Moore's Confession: By mid-1989 the two most controversial +figures in ufology were Moore and Lear. Moore's MUFON lecture on +July 1 did nothing to quiet his legion of critics. On his arrival +in Las Vegas, Moore checked into a different hotel from the one +at which the conference was being held. He already had refused to +submit his paper for publication in the symposium proceedings, so +no one knew what he would say. He had also stipulated that he +would accept no questions from the floor. + + Moore's speech stunned and angered much of the audience. At one +point the shouts and jeers of Lear's partisans brought +proceedings to a halt until order was restored. Moore finished +and exited immediately. He left Las Vegas not long afterwards. + + In his lecture Moore spoke candidly, for the first time, of his +part in the counterintelligence operation against Bennewitz. "My +role in the affair," he said, "was largely that of a freelancer +providing information on Paul's current thinking and activities." +Doty, "faithfully carrying out orders which he personally found +distasteful," was one of those involved in the effort to confuse +and discredit Bennewitz. Because of his success at this effort, +Moore suggested, Doty was chosen by the real "Falcon" as "liaison +person, although I really don't know. Frankly, I don't believe +that Doty does either. In my opinion he was simply a pawn in a +much larger game, just as I was." + + From disinformation passed on by AFOSI sources, and his own +observations and guesses, according to Moore, "by mid-1982" +Bennewitz had put together a story that "contained virtually all +of the elements found in the current crop of rumors being +circulated around the UFO community." Moore was referring to the +outlandish tales Lear and Cooper were telling. Moore said that +"when I first ran into the disinformation operation . . . being +run on Bennewitz . . . [i)t seemed to me . . . I was in a rather +unique position. There I was with my foot . . . in the door of a +secret counterintelligence game that gave every appearance of +being somehow directly connected to a high-level government UFO +project, and, judging by the positions of the people I knew to be +directly involved with it, definitely had something to do with +national security! There was no way I was going to allow the +opportunity to pass me by without learning at least something +about what was going on. . . . I would play the disinformation +game, get my hands dirty just often enough to lead those +directing the process into believing that I was doing exactly +what they wanted me to do, and all the while continue to burrow +my way into the matrix so as to learn as much as possible about +who was directing it and why." Some of the same people who were +passing alleged UFO secrets on to Moore were also involved in the +operation against Bennewitz. Moore knew that some of the material +he was getting--essentially a mild version of the Bennewitz +scenario, without the horror, paranoia and conspiracy--was false, +but he (along with Jaime Shandera and Stanton Friedman, to whom +he confided the cover-up story in June 1982; Friedman, however, +would not learn of Moore's role in the Bennewitz episode until +seven years later) felt that some of it was probably true, since +an invariable characteristic of disinformation is that it +contains some facts. Moore also said that Linda Howe had been the +victim of one of Doty's disinformation operations. + + Before he stopped cooperating with such schemes in 1984, Moore +said, he had given "routine information" to AFOSI about certain +other individuals in the UFO community. Subsequently he claimed +that during this period this emphasis) "three other members of +the UFO community . . . were actively doing the same thing. I +have since learned of a fourth. . . . All four are prominent +individuals whose identities, if disclosed, would cause +considerable controversy in the UFO community and bring serious +embarrassment to two of its major organizations. To the best of +my knowledge, at least two of these people are still actively +involved" (Moore, 1989b). + + Although he would not reveal the identities of the government +informants within ufology, Moore gave the names of several +persons "who were the subject of intelligence community interest +between 1980 and 1984." They were: + + (1) Len Stringfield, a ufologist known for his interest in +crashed-disc stories; in 1980 he had been set up by a +counterintelligence operative who gave him phony pictures of what +purported to be humanoids in cold storage. + + (2) The late Pete Mazzola, whose knowledge of film footage from +a never-publicized Florida UFO case was of great interest to +counterintelligence types. Moore was directed to urge Mazzola to +send the footage to ufologist Kal Korff (who knew nothing of the +scheme) for analysis; then Moore would make a copy and pass it on +to Doty. But Mazzola never got the film, despite promises, and +the incident came to nothing. "I was left with the impression," +Moore wrote, "that the file had been intercepted and the +witnesses somehow persuaded to cease communication with Mazzola." + + (3) Peter Gersten, legal counsel for Citizens Against UFO +Secrecy (CAUS), who had spearheaded a (largely unsuccessful) +legal suit against the NSA seeking UFO information. + + (4) Larry Fawcett, an official of CAUS and coauthor of a book on +the cover-up, Clear Intent (1984). + + (5) James and Coral Lorenzen, the directors of the Aerial +Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) periodically "subjects of +on-again, off again interest . . . mostly passive monitoring +rather than active meddling," according to Moore. Between 1980 +and 1982 APRO employed a "cooperative" secretary who passed on +confidential material to counterintelligence personnel. + + (6) Larry W. Bryant, who was battling without success in the +courts to have UFO secrets revealed. Moore said, "His name came +up often in discussions but I never had any direct involvement in +whatever activities revolved around him." + + These revelations sent shock waves through the UFO community. In +September CAUS devoted virtually all of an issue of its magazine +Just Cause to a harshly critical review of Moore's activities. +Barry Greenwood declared that the "outrageousness" of Moore's +conduct "cannot be described. Moore, one of the major critics of +government secrecy on UFOs, had covertly informed on people who +thought he was their friend and colleague. Knowing full well that +the government people with whom he was dealing were active +disinformants, Moore pursued a relationship with them and +observed the deterioration of Paul Bennewitz'[s] physical and +mental health. . . . Moore reported the effects of the false +information regularly to some of the very same people who were +'doing it' to Paul. And Moore boasted in his speech as to how +effective it was" (Greenwood, 1989). Greenwood complained further +about Moore's admission that on the disastrous Cover-up . . . +Live show Falcon and Condor had said things that they knew were +untrue. "In the rare situation where two hours of prime time +television are given over to a favorable presentation of UFOs, +here we have a fair portion of the last hour wasted in presenting +what Moore admits to be false data. . . . Yet he saw fit to go +ahead and carry on a charade, making UFO research look ridiculous +in the process. Remarks by Falcon and Condor about the aliens' +lifestyle and preference for Tibetan music and strawberry ice +cream were laughable." So far as Greenwood and CAUS, skeptical of +the MJ-12 briefing document from the first, were concerned, "July +1, 1989, may well be remembered in the history of UFO research as +the day when the 'Majestic 12' story came crashing to Earth in a +heap of rubble. Cause of death: Suicide!" + + Nonetheless it seemed unlikely that MJ-12, EBEs, and other +cover-up matters would pass away soon. The Dark Siders appeared +well on their way to starting a new occult movement in America +and elsewhere. Among movie conservative ufologists many +legitimate questions about conceivably more substantive matters +remained to be answered. A reinvestigation of the Roswell +incident by Don Schmitt and Kevin D. Randle of CUFOS produced +what appeared to be solid new evidence of a UFO crash and cover +up. The emergence of Robert Lazar, who even a mainstream +journalist such as television reporter George Knapp concluded is +telling the truth as he knows it possibly suggested a degree of +substance to recurrent rumors about developments in Area 51 and +S4. Even Moore's critics were puzzled by the extraordinary +interest of intelligence operatives in ufologists and the UFO +phenomenon, going back in time long before Bennewitz's +interception of low-frequency signals at Kirtland and ahead to +the present. Why go to all this trouble and expense, with so many +persons over such a period of time, if there are no real UFO +secrets to protect? + + Moore says he is still working with the "birds," who are as +active as ever. The birds tell him, he says, that disinformation +is used not only against ufologists but even against those +insiders like themselves who are privy to the cover-up. Those in +charge are "going to great lengths to mislead their own people." +At one point the birds were told that there is no substance to +abduction reports, only to learn later, by accident, that a major +high-level study had been done. "Even people with a need to know +didn't know about it," he says. "The abduction mess caused a lot +of trouble. There may have been an official admission of the +cover-up by now if the abductions had not come into prominence in +the 1980s." + + As for the stories of ongoing contact between the U.S. +government and extraterrestrial biological entities, he says +there is, in his observation, a "pretty good possibility, better +than three to one," that such a thing is happening. "But I don't +think we can communicate with them. Perhaps we only intercept +their communications. Or maybe they communicate with us." + + He thinks he has found MJ-12. "It's not in a place anybody +looked," he says. "Not an agency one would have expected. But +when you think about it, it fits there" (Moore, 1990). + + Doty, now a New Mexico State Police officer, was decertified as +an AFOSI agent on July 15, 1986, for "misconduct" related to an +incident (not concerned with UFOs) that occurred while he was +stationed in West Germany. In August Doty requested a discharge +from the Air Force and was sent to New Jersey to be separated +from the service. But then, Doty says, the Senior Enlisted +Advisor for AFOSI made a trip to the Military Personnel Center at +Randolph AFB, Texas, and asked that Doty be reassigned to +Kirtland, where his son lived. In September Col. Richard Law, +Commander of AFOSI District 70, rescinded Doty's decertification +and assigned him to Kirtland as a services career specialist +(i.e., an Air Force recruiter). When he left the Air Force in +October 1988, he was superintendent of the 1606 Services +Squadron. Doty remains close to Moore and uncommunicative with +nearly everyone else. All he will say is that one day a book will +tell his side of the story and back it up with "Official +Government Documents" (Doty, 1989). + +Sources: + + Berk, Lynn, and David Renzi.

Walters faked some of the photos of UFOs that appear in his +book. +" We believe that UFOs exist," said Rex and Carol Salisberry of Navarre of +their study of several of Walter's photos. " We entered this investigation +with a natural and favorable bias toward the Walter's case, " but " our +investigation and analysis lend to the conclusion that several, if not all of +the photos are probable hoaxes." +Walters, who co-wrote " The Gulf Breeze Sightings" with his wife Frances, +maintains the photos are real and that they were taken during numerous +encounters between November 1987 and March 1988. +Walters has appeared on numerous radio and television shows, including " +Unsolved Mysteries " and the Oprah Winfrey Show, to recount his experiences +with UFOs. +He was reported to be out of town Friday and could not be reached for +comment. +In July the couple was named " Investigators of the Year " at a MUFON +Symposium in Pensacola. +Walt Andrus, MUFON's international director, said Friday that his +organization is not yet ready to give its stamp of approval to the +Salisberry's four month investigation of the photos. +" I don't know how they arrived at that decision." Andrus said from his +office in Sequin, Texas. " It is certainly premature. He has no business +talking to reporters. It has never been cleared through here. He can't make +representations for the organizations." +Andrus, who has for two years endorsed the Walters case, appointed Salisberry +in July to take a second look at the case after questions surfaced about the +credibility of Walter's photos. +The first question arose after a model was found in the Walter's former +residence in Gulf Breeze in March. The Styrofoam and drafting paper model was +found in the attic of the home and strongly resembled a drawing Walter's made +of one of his UFO sightings. +The second question arose when Tommy Smith, formerly of Gulf Breeze, said in +July that he witnessed Walter's fake UFO photos. Smith said Walters asked him +to take some faked UFO photos to the Gulf Breeze newspaper and claim they +were real. +But Andrus on Friday said Smith is lying and the UFO model was hidden in the +attic by someone who wants to discredit Walters. +"Tommy Smith can't prove any of his statements- they are outlandish lies," +Andrus said. +The Salisberrys said Smith's testimony and the model contributed to their +conclusion, but more convincing was an analysis of Walter's so-called " road +shot " that shows a UFO hovering over a road. +Salisberry said the reflection of the spacecraft, which should be flat, +actually is at an angle that does not match the road's surface. The +triangular shape of the reflection also does not match the round light source +on the bottom of the craft, he said. +The Salisberrys said the photo and a second photo probably was created by a +double-exposure-- a process by which a model is photographed and the image is +exposed again onto the same frame of film. +" With these photos reassessed as probable hoaxes, the other photos... should +be considered as highly suspect, " Salisberry wrote in the preliminary +report. +Seven MUFON members investigated the sightings in 1988 and concluded Walter's +story was true. The Salisberrys were not among the original investigators, +but joined MUFON in November 1988. +Andrus said that while the Salisberrys are good investigators, they cannot +yet speak for MUFON. +" They ( the Salisberrys ) do not have grounds to arrive at that conclusion +until it is submitted to us. We will have to look at their facts," Andrus +said. +The Salisberrys have not yet submitted their report to MUFON. +Phil Klass, a contributing editor to Aviation Week & Space Technology +magazine and a longtime Walters critic, said Andrus is too " proud and +stubborn " to accept the report. +" I think the Salisberrys should be commended for being willing to change +their earlier opinion," said Klass. +But Dr. Bruce Maccabee, a photographic analyst who has defended Walter's +photos. said the road reflection does not discredit the photo. +Maccabee said his analysis of the photo shows light from beneath the object +was projected at an angle-like car headlights shinning ahead of a car on a +wet road. +Maccabee said Friday he still is open-minded about the Walter's sightings, +but said it would take more convincing evidence than Salisberry's report to +convince him of a hoax. +" Nothing I have seen has changed my mind," Maccabee said. +Salisberry said his conclusion on Walters' photo does not shake his own +belief in UFOs. And he said his report won't end the Walters' debate. +" The problem with Walters' story isn't a UFO problem, it is a human +problem". Salisberry said.

He is a candidate for City Council in +Gulf Breeze on the Nov. 6 ballot. +Walters would not comment Monday, but said earlier this month +that his alleged UFO encounters were not an issue in the +campaign. +The issue resurfaced Friday after Rex and Carol Salisberry, +investigators for the UFO network, released a summary of a +preliminary report that said Walters likely faked at least two +photographs reproduced in his book. +The Salisberrys, MUFON investigators of the year in 1989-1990, +were asked in July to reopen the case. +The new probe was prompted by the discovery of a model in the +attic of Walters' former home in Gulf Breeze. The plastic foam +and drafting paper model strongly resembled a drawing of an +alleged UFO in Walters' book. +In another incident, a former Gulf Breeze man said he helped +Walters fake UFO photos at least once in 1987. +On Monday, Wright said that Gulf Breeze Mayor Ed Gray, a +longtime critic of Walters, may have "pressed" the Salisberrys +to release their report before election. +" It is possible that Gray may have found a sympathetic ear," +Wright said in a telephone interview from Lansing, Mich., +where he lives. +But Salisberry said that Gray had absolutely no influence on +the report's release. " I could care less about the City +Council race," Salisberry said. " I don't live in Gulf +Breeze." +Gray would not comment on Wright's allegations. +In his report, Salisberry questioned the legitimacy of the +so-called " road shot " which shows a UFO hovering over a +road. +The reflection of the spacecraft, which should be flat, +actually is at an angle that does not match the road's +surface.

It was then, he said, that he learned +some MUFON members were trying to discredit him. +Before the personal attacks began, he said he decided to make +public his findings. " I told them we would not tolerate being +discredited," he said. " We were already being categorized as ï73 +Šdebunkers They have a history of shooting the messenger." +Wright on Monday said evidence still indicates Walters' photos +are legitimate and that MUFON has no interest in the City +Council race. +" If we find Rex didn't take into consideration all factors +and didn't make all the necessary contacts, we may have to +determine it is an incomplete report," Wright said. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Is it a UFO from outer space? No, it's electricity from +the earth. + + John Derr, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Albuquerque, New +Mexico, has determined that the phenomena glimpsed in many UFO sightings may +actually be balls of electricity related to earthquakes. Derr and Michael +Pensinger, a professor at Laurentian University in Ontario, Canada, tapped into +a database of UFO sightings compiled by the Center for UFO Studies and +cross-correlated the sightings with reports of seismic activity. "When we +started looking at it area by area, certain patterns began to emerge," he says. + + For example, residents of New Mexico reported UFO sightings in 1951 and 1952 +within 60 miles of the epicenters of three temblors measuring 4 to 5 on the +Richter scale that occurred less than a year later. + + "Earthquake lights" tend to be basketball-sized globes of glowing electricity +generated by crushing rock or changes in ground-water flow related to +underground pressure. They can appear for months before and months after +earthquakes. + + "Sightings that can best be explained as earthquake lights are objects seen at +ground level or objects in the sky that have a discontinuous path," Derr +explains. "Our statistics suggest that eighty percent of such sightings could +be geophysical in origin." + + "There's been a lot of anecdotal information regarding phenomena and +earthquakes, but I haven't seen anything that really documents it very well," +says Jim Mori, a seismologist with the Geological Survey in Pasadena, +California.

For many, UFOs are not the manifestation of +extraterrestrial intelligence, but instead, are a metaphysical +phenomena -- a manifestation of spiritual entities. Many +abductees/contactees are now characterizing their "unusual personal +experiences" in a religious or metaphysical context. + +As an unabashed secular humanist, I am skeptical of these claims. But +there are several aspects of the metaphysical interpretation of the +UFO phenomenon that should be considered before rejecting it out of +hand. + +Admittedly, a lot of what follows is based on rumor, hearsay and +circumstantial evidence. Much is derived from numerous phone calls +from Dan Smith, whose religious beliefs regarding the UFO phenomenon +have induced a messianic zeal to "spread the Word." + +These calls have provided a flurry of information on what I have +previously termed "fringe" beliefs, as well as providing the names and +backgrounds of the birds who comprise the Aviary. According to Dan, +who undoubtedly is privy to a wealth of accurate, though not widely +known UFO information, this data is being released through him due to +the grave concern by high government officials about impending +metaphysical catastrophe - the eschaton, or the end of the world. + +Mr. Smith first came to my attention after the "Aquarium Conspiracy" +article (see inset) was disseminated to computer bulletin board +systems in the Spring of '93. In this article, Smith and Rosemary +Ellen Guiley, directors of the Center for North American Crop Circle +Studies, warned of an "eschatological emergency, "the reaction of +various organizations--both inside and outside the government, and +their attempt to establish a network of spiritually advanced +individuals, the "Aquarium," to assist the Aviary in dealing with this +crisis. + +-- inset -- + +The "Aquarium Conspiracy" by Dan Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley + +"In the beginning there was eschatology--the branch of theology +dealing with the end times. Dan, having spent many years first +studying physics and then metaphysics, came to the conclusion that the +scientists have been looking at the world upside down. Mind, not +matter, is the foundation for all realities. Moreover, the materialist +paradigm was in danger of imminent collapse, being subverted on the +inside by its own contradictions, and on the outside by the growing +body of evidence for the paranormal. Creating and maintaining a +reality is no easy game. It requires a lot of magic, and a lot of +conscious critters like ourselves who are pretty good at collective +self-deception. Fortunately-- or perhaps unfortunately--our particular +reality game has about reached its natural conclusion, and we are +waking up to the fact that mind and matter are not separate. We are +undergoing an exciting but stressful revolution in our collective +consciousness. This revolution, or global spiritual emergency, will +bring upheavals and overloads in our global consciousness that will +impact the material Earth for better or worse, and may quickly get out +of control. We also will be opening up to other realities that will be +impacting us as well. Our present very tidy sense of reality and its +boundaries is due to become much more fluid and permeable. Every +spiritual tradition takes very seriously its prophesies about the end +of the world, but for the first time we are seeing these prophesies +turning into believable predictions of earth and reality changes. That +is how Dan fell from physics into eschatology. After experiencing +numerous slammed doors among his former scientific colleagues, he +decided that the most logical place to find fellow eschatologists +would be in various intelligence agencies and among investigators of +the paranormal. Dan next addressed how to communicate about the +eschaton. Even a small hint that the government is worried about the +end of the world might start a chain reaction of panic, which could +possibly serve as a trigger for the eschaton. On the other hand, +people inside the government might be wanting to set up a kind of +civil defense network vis a vis the eschaton, and so they would be +looking for people on the outside who could much more freely network +among the general public. An important link in the communication chain +is what has become known as the Aviary. This is the final link next to +the public network, and so it must be heavily disguised by its own +surrealistic smoke screen. The Aviary functions best by amplifying +people's own misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by +helping to overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that +particular investigators get pushed further into their own blind +alleys. People are encouraged to be so distracted by the trees that +they fail to see the forest. This cacophony by people looking for +truth in all the strangest places provides an excellent cover for the +deadly serious business of clearing the decks and battening down the +hatches for the eschaton event. It is like a Manhattan Project going +on behind the scenes of alien grays and praying mantises having sex +with humans. However, this eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated +by higher powers, and we don't mean the Committee of 300. Very few of +the people even near the center of the orchestration have a clear +picture of what is coming down, but they do know that something is +coming and that they will have front row seats. The Manhattan Project +relative to the eschaton is a global civilian network of people who +will serve as a lightning rod for the cosmic energies coming in during +the consciousness revolution. They will be looking to channel these +energies into expanded realities. Thus, they will provide a degree of +protection for those people who can find their places alongside the +network. Outside of the network there will be greater levels of trauma +and confusion. The pieces of the network are already in place, the +remaining task is to properly activate and link the pieces into a +critical mass of awareness. This last step is now underway. This is +how an Aviary helps to spawn an Aquarium, and how birds learn to swim. +The Aquarium is our business, and we are working to reach people who +are ready to be activated in the consciousness revolution." + +-!- + +I was intrigued after reading the "Aquarium Memo" because it implied +that the authors had cultivated sources within the intelligence +community. The only question was whether this information was accurate +or bogus. I drafted a response and uploaded it to Don Allen, moderator +for the FIDO UFO conference, requesting that he forward it to Dan +Smith. Several days later, I received the first of many calls from +him. + +Since Smith had alluded to his close contacts with the Aviary, most of +my questions centered around this mysterious group of alleged UFO +insiders comprised of scientists, military personnel, and inteligence +analysts. Dan's primary contact with this group is "Pelican" who +reportedly mans the "Wierd Desk" (UFOs,etc) at CIA. While Pelican's +main job with the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology is to +monitor foreign technological developments, Pelican also tracks +millennial/eschatological communities, "entering a twilight zone where +psychic techniques are being generated by humans and other entities," +says Smith. + +According to Smith, UFOs are primarily a psychological/metaphysical +phenomenon which are both preparing us and pressuring us to develop +our own psi abilities. Not that UFOs are a single type of entity, +Smith asserts that there are "powers and principalities" at work -- +presumably supernatural entities like angels and demons. + +Furthermore, he said that a radical program of parapsychological +research and development is currently underway near Los Alamos, New +Mexico. This group's development of psychokinesis, and psychotronics +(a term used to denote psychic warfare techniques) represents a danger +of eschatological proportions. "These techniques have been available, +but controlled, throughout history. Now, other entities are forcing +the issue," said Smith. + +During the course of our first conversation, Smith was unable to +provide much proof of his claims. He reported that his governmental +sources "hinted at" an eschatological emergency. To prove the evil +intent of the entities involved, he referred to reports of human +mutilations in the Amazon which have been officially attribbuted to +drug dealers, but according to his sources, were committed by these +evil entities. When I asked why the CIA was interested in eschatology, +he replied that the ramifications of the eschaton event represented a +serious threat to national security, and thus, fell into the parview +of the intelligence agencies. + +Smith also revealed that the eschatological issues he raised related +directly to the Biblical prophecies of the book of Revelations. + +I thanked Mr. Smith for the call, and invited him to keep me abreast +of future developments. With the addition of demons, angels, "black +magic," psychotronic technology, and assorted spooks working at cross +purposes, my already strained credulity was pushed a bit further. + + +The Aviary +---------- + +Dan proceeded to call me regularly. Each call provided tantalizing +snippets of information -- some simply incredible at first hearing, +but with confirmation on some of the data coming in from disparate +sources all across the country. Naturally, my curiosity centered +around the identities and activities of the Aviary. I suspect that +many believe the Bird People to be cogs in a giant conspiracy to +manage the public's perception of UFOs. Not necessarily so, according +to Smith. Far from being a well-funded, omnipotent secret society of +the guardians of UFO data, the Aviary is nothing more than an ad hoc +group of highly-placed "UFO buffs." + +Initially, the factor that seemed most important was that Pelican was +being so forthcoming -- presumably with the knowledge and consent of +his superiors at CIA. This in itself forced me to conclude that there +are two possible motives for all this apparent glasnost: + +1. There is indeed an eschatological emergency as described by Dan +Smith, i.e. fulfillment of biblical prophesy with attendent +catastrophes; and/or + +2. There is a new twist to the ol' UFO debunking game, capitalizing on +new-age mysticism and millennial "apocophilia." + +Frankly, I lean towards the second explanation. After all, Smith +himself described the Aviary as "amplifying people's own +misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by helping to +overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that particular +investigators get pushed further into their own blind alleys." I've +personally been occupied by this ongoing saga for many months -- a +"blind alley?" I wish I knew, but in either case, Pelican's +involvement in this affair raises the ante significantly. + +Has something changed? Could we really be facing biblical "End Times?" +As I mentioned previously, I would have laughed-off such suggestions a +few months ago. However, Smith's references to "out of control" +psychotronic research proved to be more substantive than I first +realized. + +The Aviary is believed to be comprised of: +------------------------------------------ + +Bruce Maccabee (Seagull) - Well-known Naval photograhic expert who +verified the authenticity of the Gulf Breeze photos, a MUFON +consultant and member of the Board of Directors of the Fund for UFO +Research. + +Hal Puthoff, PhD. (Owl) - Physicist with the Institute for Advanced +Research in Austin, Texas who specializes in Zero-Point Energy, a +quantum phenomenon that could provide "free energy." Puthoff was once +involved in remote-viewing experiments at the Stanford Research +Institute. + +Dale Graff (Raven) - Performed contract oversight for the DIA at +Wright Patterson AFB. Most recently, Graff was the chief of the DIA's +Defense Technology/Special department. Rumored to be an abductee, and +involved in "black magic" and psychotronic programs at Los Alamos, but +fired recently by DIA. Smith says that Graff is the head of the +"military" UFO working group at Los Alamos. + +Jack Vorona (bird name unknown) - Vorona is apparently the most covert +of all the Birds. He is believed to have been a liason between Capitol +Hill and Los Alamos. Was once involved in Project Sleeping Beauty, an +attempt to disable enemy troops using electromagnetic radiation. +Vorona has recently "vanished," and his present whereabouts are +unknown. + +Richard Doty (Falcon) - Former AFOSI agent. Directly involved in the +Bennewitz affair, and the attempt to funnel UFO information (or +disinformation) concerning UFO briefing documents for the President to +Linda Moulton Howe. Allegedly responsible for leaking bogus UFO +reports while in AFOSI at Kirtland AFB. Currently employed by the New +Mexico state police stationed in Dulce, New Mexico. + +Christopher "Kit" Green MD, PhD. (Bluejay) - Pelican's predecessor at +the "Wierd Desk" at CIA. According to Smith, Green at one time had +autopsy reports and photos of a UFO that crashed in a foreign country. +Dr. Green is currently the chief of the Biomedical Sciences Dept. for +General Motors. The CIA awarded him the National Intelligence Medal +for his work on a classified project during the period 1979 to 1983. + +Robert Collins (Condor) - Former Captain, USAF. Involved in the +Bennewitz affair, and probably participated in the scheme (with +Richard Doty) to release UFO information/ disinformation to Linda +Moulton Howe at Kirtland AFB. + +Ernie Kellerstraus (Hawk) - While working at Wright Patterson AFB in +the '70s, he along with Bob Collins and Dale Graff are said to have +supplied information to William Moore. Kellerstraus is rumored to have +lived with an alien for a while (?), and is probably the source for +the story concerning the aliens' preference for "strawberry ice +cream". + +Scott Jones (Chickadee) - Well-connected, well-funded (by Laurence +Rockefeller) head of the Human Potential Foundation. Former aid to +Sen. Claiborne Pell, who has had a long-standing interest in UFOs and +the paranormal. Jones is a MUFON Consultant with numerous highly +placed government sources who consistently finds "no interest by +government in UFOs." + +Bill Moore - (bird name unknown) This former Minnesota school teacher +may have initiated a new regime in regards to ufology by the +publication of "The Roswell Incident." This in itself may have been +the single event that began the stripping away of decades of +well-guarded UFO secrecy. His involvement in the Aviary seems to be +either one of active coordination of the other Birds, or simply as a +dupe, such as in the Bennewitz affair. + +John Alexander (Penquin) - Former colonel in Army Intelligence +(INSCOM). Rumored to be involved in the Army's UFO research. Member of +the board of directors of Psi Tech. Currently, head of "non-lethal" +weapons program (see "Secret Conference" article) at Los Alamos. Said +to be briefing Vice President Gore on the UFO phenomenon and psi +projects. + +"Pelican," PhD - Pelican is a physicist with the CIA's Directorate of +Science and Technology, who mans the "Wierd Desk" (UFOs, etc) at CIA. + +-!- + +Apparently, it is Pelican who provided the bulk of the information +that Smith tirelessly passed on. Smith says that Pelican has received +some heat from his superiors for becoming so visible due to the AIR #1 +report on Bruce Maccabee's relationship to the CIA. + +Psi-Tech +-------- + +Psi-Tech is a private company that claims to provide its clients +remote viewing services. Remote viewing is the act of psychically +perceiving places or events at a distance. These techniques were +learned during his stint with the US Army's Intelligence and Security +Command (INSCOM), according to Major Ed Dames (ret.) , president of +Psi-Tech, who describes his operation thusly (taken from a Psi-Tech +brochure): + +---- + +PSI TECH, Inc. was founded in 1989 to perform specialized proprietary +studies for science and industry on a contract basis. + +PSI TECH consists of a select, technically qualified group of +professional analysts who provide a unique data collection capability +not available anywhere else in the world. We are a team of highly +trained Remote Viewing specialists. + +Remote Viewing has been validated by governmental and private +scientific groups over the last two decades. Briefly stated, a remote +viewer is able to locate and accurately describe things and events +distant in time and space. + +PSI TECH has developed applied remote viewing into a powerful +investigative tool. Our disciplined team of experts combines more +than forty man-years of applied remote viewing experience. + +The rigorous target acquisition, data collection, and analytic +protocols that we employ guarantee products and solutions of high +value to PSI TECH customers. + +PSI TECH can rapidly provide you with reliable information that simply +may not be available via any other means! + +PSI-TECH currently employs nine highly experienced remote viewers. The +company also utilizes Ingo Swann as a subcontractor. Mr. Swann is +internationally recognized as this country's premier natural psychic. +He discovered and developed the proprietary methods now used by our +company to train and conduct technical remote viewing. + +PSI-TECH has appointed two outside directors from science and +industry. Additionally. we have at our disposal an adjunct Technical +Analysis Team consisting of a multidisciplinary group of distinguished +scientists, engineers, and medical doctors from national labs, major +corporations and universities. These individuals provide analytical +support to PSI-TECH technical intelligence collection projects as +required. + +PSI-TECH training and operations performance standards are exacting. +we require military precision on the part of our remote viewers. Each +viewer works independently and does not collaborate or compare data +with other viewers. The training program employed to install those +unique skills which enable the production of calibrated, consistent +and accurate results is rigorous. + +While at work a viewer's mind-body state could he generally +characterized as one of high attention. To an unwitting observer a +PSI-TECH viewer could easily be mistaken for someone engaged in an +attempt to solve a difficult math or science problem. Conscious focus +shifts between the tasks of directing the trained unconscious in a +systematic exploration of the assigned target, breaking out (decoding) +the target-associated gestalt patterns of information, then rendering +the data as detailed words and sketches, (or models if necessary). +Meticulous attention to technical remote viewing structure is required +not only to correctly acquire the target and maintain lock-on but +additionally to disallow subconscious analysis and/or imagination from +interfering with the unconsciously acquired signal. + +---- + +Dames, a retired major in US Army Intelligence, is apparently "being +all that he can be," bringing the skills he learned while in the Army +to the marketplace. He claims that Psi-Tech has performed these +projects to date: Enigma Penetration: The Tunguska Event; Enigma +Penetration: Soviet Phobos II Space Craft Imaged Anomaly; Projected +Technologies: Advanced Deep Space Propulsion Systems; Clandestine +Iraqi Biological Weapons Facilities (Gratis in support of the United +Nations CBW Inspection Team); A Relook of the KAL Flight 007 Shoot- +down; Atmospheric Ozone Depletion - Projected Consequences and +Remedial Technologies; and the Saint-Exupery Crash Site. + +I'm sure we'd all like to find out what Psi Tech's RVing has +discovered on these events, however, Dames regrets to inform us that +this is "proprietary" information gleaned under contract. This would +be interesting enough on its own, but Dames claims that fully 60% of +his company's time is spent RVing (remote viewing) UFOs! + +Here are a few of Mr. Dames statements regarding UFOs (from a phone +conversation with Dan Smith): + +---- + +RV's of many UFO events are blocked by external agency, (cosmic +censorship?). + +UFO type viewing encounters two types of entities: aliens and angels. +Aliens are more physical with quasi-physical type craft. They are in +trouble and need our resources, which they take, and if humans are +involved they recieve mental impressions to confuse what is really +going on. The angels are policing these alien activities. The angels +technology is more concerned with the mental and transcendental or +metaphysical domains. + +Ed uses the terms ground zero or ground truth to refer to a spot in SW +US where much of their work is done. The angels led them to this spot, +indicating that it would be a good place for contacting aliens, about +10 years ago. Various forms of contact then occurred. + +Dames discussed eschatological implications at some length. His group +gets indications of unavoidable bad stuff in the next couple of +decades. Deleterious climate changes, storms adversely effecting +agriculture. He also foresees a quasi-public contact with UFOs near +the ground zero site, within one and a half years (August, 1993). It +would be an ongoing contact, of a prophetic sort with both Angels and +Aliens involved. His review committee will work out possible +coverage. He is not so concerned about a global spiritual emergency, +as about the physical (meteorological?) emergencies. + +---- + +So there you have it... UFOs plus psychic adepts equals End of the +World. + +Of course, one could dismiss Dames as a bunko artist selling his +$6,000-$8,000 a week services to an affluent but gullible clientele. +But before dismissing Dames' claims, readers should be aware of a few +other pertinent facts. On the Psi-Tech board of directors are two +fairly high-level players; General Albert Stubblebine (US Army +Intelligence, ret.), and Colonel John Alexander (ret.) both formerly +of the US Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). + +Stubblebine, former commander of INSCOM, gave a presentation at the +International Symposium on UFO Research (sponsored by the +International Association for New Science, Denver CO, May 22-25, 1992) +on the subject of "Remote Viewing as a Research Tool." In this +presentation, Stubblebine described remote viewing: + +"It is independent of time, OK? So I can go past, I can go present, I +can go future. It is independent of locations, so I can go anywhere on +this earth. I can go into any closet, I can go into any mind, I can +access that information at any location that I choose." + +On the subject of RVing UFOs, Stubblebine said: + +"As far as UFOs are concerned, they can be accessed, they can be +tracked, we have looked at the propulsion system for them, that's not +a hard job, you can track them back to where they come from, whether +they come from a place here on this planet or whether they come from a +place on another planet, they are trackable and you can take a look +inside as well as outside, so again, it is a tool that is available to +be used for the UFO research and I guess, I guess that's the reason +that I am standing on this platform in spite of my misgivings and +feeling a little bit nervous like a tree in a Lassie movie." + +Stubblebine also claimed that his remote viewing of the planet Mars +had revealed structures and machines operating both on and below the +Martian surface. + +Many suspect that John Alexander is the "colonel" referred to in +Howard Blum's recent book, "Out There". In this book, Blum described a +group of remote viewers in the Pentagon who frequently encountered +UFOs in their psychic "sorties" to locate Soviet submarines. Alexander +seems to have an extremely eclectic background -- he received a PhD. +in Thanatology (the study of death and near-death experiences) from +Georgetown University under the tutelage of the celebrated Dr. +Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Apparently, Alexander is a "mind-control" +junkie, having studied everything from Silva Mind Control, to a stint +in a Buddhist monastery. + +When the National Research Council issued its findings that there was +no evidence of paranormal phenomena, Alexander wrote a critique of the +report that was both passionate and eloquent. In this rebuttal, he +compared the report's apparent a priori conclusions to the Condon +Commission's report on UFOs. Interestingly, Alexander is widely +believed to have been instrumental in the Army's UFO Intelligence +activities, and is rumored to have assisted in the investigation of +the Cash/Landrum UFO-injury case. + +In addition to his Psi-Tech work, Alexander currently heads a research +project at Los Alamos, New Mexico, focused on "non-lethal" military +technology. "Non- lethal" in the conventional parlance refers to +methods of eroding an enemy's war-making capabilities without the +excessive death and destruction that could possibly harden an enemy's +resolve to fight, or cause a moral revulsion in our own population +that could weaken political resolve to continue a war until U.S. +military objectives could be achieved. Wiping-out enemy radars and +communication electronics through powerful electromagnetic pulses +(EMP) is one type of non-lethal weapon, spraying roads and railroad +tracks with a super-slippery lubricant, thereby paralyzing +transportation, is another. + +Alexander has been mentioned almost synonomously with non-lethal +weapons technology in many mainstream news reports, including a +lengthy piece in the Wall Street Journal. He is also rumored to be a +candidate for an Undersecretary of Defense appointment in the Clinton +administration. + +Surprisingly, Army Intelligence RV operations has become married, +literally, with some prominent figures in UFO abductions research. +Albert Stubblebine is now married to Dr. Rima Laibow, whose scholarly +paper on the abduction phenomenon was the first (as far as I know) to +address the issue in the mental-health community. John Alexander is +now married to the former Victoria Lacas, Dr. Laibow's close +associate. + +This list of strange bedfellows gets even stranger when you add the +name of CSETI founder and head honcho, Steven Greer, M.D., into the +mix. As it turns out, Greer, whose modus operandi incorporates shining +blinking lights and laser beams at UFOs in the hopes of establishing +communications with the ufonauts, was trained in remote viewing by Ed +Dames. In fact, it was Dr. Greer who introduced Stubblebine at the +Denver symposium. + +So, what we have so far is that several former high-ranking military +personnel (Stubblebine, Alexander,and Dames) who were involved in +"psychic" research while in Army Intelligence, and who are now +actively involved in the UFO research community. Further, Dames has +staked his company's professional reputation on the prediction that an +overt contact with aliens will occur in the Four Corners area by +August of 1993. Naturally, August came and went without incident. + +One of ufology's more cogent analysts, who is convinced of the reality +of remote viewing based on his own personal search, told me that +Dames' activities had resulted in the successful discrediting of both +UFOs and remote viewing. Was this the plan all along or is Dames just +a charlatan? + +"Black" Projects +---------------- + +Dan Smith explained that the reason that so much information was being +disseminated was due to the eschatological implications of the +psychotronic research underway at covert government research +facilities. + +It would seem unlikely that this type of technology is currently +feasible. After all, if the government had access to psychotronic +weapons, why didn't they induce Saddam Hussein to stroll naked through +the streets of Baghdad, asking his subjects to admire his new clothes; +or simply cause a major blood vessel in his brain to burst? + +But Smith sincerely believes that such technologies are being +developed, specifically under the guise of "non-lethal" weapons +research, such as that headed by John Alexander. Smith says, +point-blank, that this technology is nothing less than "black magic." + +Supposedly, this business is taken so seriously at upper echelons that +the Secret Service retrieved all of the bloody bandages discarded +after Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt, lest the +president's blood be used in a "black magic" ritual that could +influence his behavior. I suppose this story is somewhat more credible +after the revelations concerning the Reagan's "court astrologer." + +According to Dan Smith, use of these psychotronic techniques entail a +perilous threat to democracy -- potentially, a type of instantaneous +mass mind control to program a pesky proletariat -- and worse. + +These claims should be taken into context of published papers on the +ability to induce auditory sensations through microwave bombardment at +certain frequencies. In Alexander's book, "The Warrior's Edge" (with +Morris and Grollier), he states matter of factly that remote viewing +and psychokinesis are not only real, but have predictable, practical +applications. Indeed, the focus of the book is how to utilize mind +control techniques to achieve an advantage over one's adversaries. + +There's absolutely no telling what Cold War ethics combined with +unlimited budgets and zero accountability could have wrought in terms +of Frankensteinian scenarios. To ellucidate this point, I present this +extract from a paper by Ray Boeche, a Lincoln, Nebraska, theologian +and Fortean researcher. + +---- + + "To all interested researchers: + + +The following is an edited version of material given to me in late +1991 - early 1992, by two scientists who claim to be working in +weapons research and development for the Department of Defense. + +I am not in a position to comment on the truthfulness or accuracy of +the information. The two men who have spoken to me do, in fact, exist, +and for all intents and purposes seem to be who and what they claim. +The very nature of the claims makes verification difficult, if not +impossible. + +Divulging this information was the result of a moral dilemma, when +these two individuals, both Christians, became alarmed at the course +their research efforts into psychotronic weapons was taking under the +direction of their (unnamed) superiors. They described an obsessive +effort to contact and attempt to control what they referred to as +"non-human intelligences" (NHI), and to harness these NHI for military +and intelligence uses. + +The efforts had progressed well past attempts at practical +applications of David Bohm's theories, and had grown to encompass the +use of, according to their statements, "satanic rituals / ritual magic +along the lines of that espoused by Aleister Crowley, including human +sacrifices." + +These gentlemen stated their concerns that, even when they were +apparently able to harness or channel these forces or abilities for +"good" uses, the force would "turn," and ultimately all of those +subjects involved suffered varying degrees of negative effects from +contact with these forces. They are convinced that what is being +tapped into in all instances is evil, and that this research should +cease. + +Contact has continued on a limited basis, with no new information of +significance forthcoming." + +After speculation as to the physics of the paranormal, Boeche sums up +the startling details he received: + +Information given, but not allowed to note during meeting: Discussion +of individuals killed during psychotronic weapons experiments. + +1. Male, white, 25-30 yrs., allegedly death by remotely induced +cardiac arrest. + +2. Female, white, 20-25 yr., allegedly death by remotely transmitting +and creating head trauma equivalent to crushing of right anterior +portion of the skull. + +3. Male, white, 30-40 yrs., allegedly death by remotely controlled +suffocation. + +Setting was in a laboratory environment. Alleged victims were wired +for EEG & EKG, seated in reclining chair, somewhat similar to +dentist's chair. + +In efforts to establish contact with non-human intelligences, every +avenue is being explored. Satanic rituals involving human sacrifice +have been performed. Much study is/has been given to writings of +Crowley. + +Bentwaters experiment was the projection of an actual, physical three- +dimensional object, which could and did interact with its environment, +but was created and controlled by individuals involved in this +research. + +No project names were given because the sources were too concerned +that a leak would be traced back to them." + +---- + +Mr. Boeche used the term "scripted" (i.e. slow enough to allow for +copious note-taking, except when he was asked to cease writing during +the descriptions of the psychotronically induced deaths) to describe +the presentation delivered by the two putative DoD scientists. In my +communications with Mr. Boeche, he was at a loss to explain why the +two DoD scientists were still working on projects they found to be +morally repugnant, and if they really wanted to blow the whistle on +this activity, why did they reveal it to an obscure ufologist and not +the New York Times or "Nightline." I have to agree with Boeche's +assessment that the story is probably disinformation for some unknown +purpose. + +The only question here is -- what could the motivation be? + +The story related by Ray Boeche is supported by Dan Smith's thesis, +i.e. humans are messing with forces that are getting out of control, +perhaps with disastrous consequences. According to Smith, these +"sorcerer's apprentices" are going at it hot and heavy at government +psychotronics labs in or near Los Alamos, New Mexico. + +It has been rumored that there have already been several high-level +meetings between those who are concerned about secret psi/UFO programs +and representatives of the Clinton administration. According to one +rumor, Pelican met with Jack Gibbons, the White House Science Advisor. +Gibbons is reported to have responded that "the President shouldn't +touch this topic with a 10-foot pole." Instead, meetings concerning +these "black" psi/UFO projects have been channeled through the +Vice-President's office under the cover story of "alternate energy +sources." There have also been meetings with Senate Intelligence +Committee Chief of Staff, Dick DiAmato, who is said to be interested +in the ongoing strangeness at Area 51. + +Variations on this rumor have John Alexander as the contact with the +Clinton administration. This makes a certain amount of sense, in that +Alexander knows Al Gore from his days as a Senator, when he taught +several Congressmen, including Gore, some basic Neuro-Linguistic +Programming techniques. + +Interestingly, the subject of "Presidential Haircuts" may be connected +to this affair. It has been independently reported to me that Mr. +Clinton had another delay on the tarmac in Los Alamos, after his tour +of high-tech research facilities in the area. This was just days +before the LAX / Christophe incident. The inference from this is that +either the President's hair must grow very fast, or else highly secure +meetings are occuring on airport runways (presumably Air Force 1 is +bug-free). + +A Conversation with Pelican +--------------------------- + +In order to give Pelican an opportunity to confirm or deny the +eschatological scenario presented by Dan Smith, I gave him a call. +Readers who expect dramatic revelations will be disappointed, although +Pelican did provide some interesting tidbits. + +First, he sounded much younger than I expected. Second, he had a very +sharp sense of humor (I had to laugh out loud several times during the +course of our conversation). I limited my questions to the subjects of +eschatology and the Aviary. His answers seemed forthright -- he didn't +seem stressed to avoid any particular topic, and I found him to be +quite convincing. + +My first question dealt with with Dan's statements concerning +dangerous "black" programs that were out of control. Curiously, +Pelican responded that "Dan isn't cleared for that kind of +information" -- not exactly a repudiation of Dan's story. + +Pelican did admit that he talks to Dan frequently -- about physics. +When I told him that Dan had been claiming to be a "conduit" for +semi-official information from him, Pelican rather ambiguously stated, +"He may very well be doing that... I talk to him once in a while and +we share information. I really don't tell him anything that's +classified or work-related... he certainly isn't functioning in the +role of a conduit for me." + +I quoted Dan Smith's statement to the effect that "the best place to +find fellow eschatologists was in the intelligence agencies," to which +Pelican responded "he didn't find any here" at CIA. + +I inquired about the status of psychotronic weapons research. Pelican +was dismissive of the entire subject, calling it "modern-day +shamanism." He also stated that psychotronics is only taken seriously +in countries like Russia and China that do not have the rigorous +peer-reviewed scientific establishment such as in the U.S. + +I raised the subject of Psi Tech, and Ed Dames' risking his company's +reputation on his prediction of an overt alien contact in the Chaco +Canyon area by the end of August '93. "What reputation? It's a joke... +the only paying customer Psi Tech has ever had was Dan Smith himself, +who gave Psi Tech $3,000 to remote view a crop circle being made," +Pelican responded. I asked about the high-level personnel on Psi +Tech's board of directors like Stubblebine and Alexander. Pelican was +dismissive of Stubblebine, recounting that Stubblebine's nick-name was +"General Spoonbender," due to his belief in psychic phenomena. Pelican +holds Alexander in considerably higher regard, however, stating, "he's +a friend of mine." + +Next, I asked about the Aviary. According to Pelican, the Aviary is +nothing more than the product of the somewhat-deranged mind of +"Falcon," retired Air Force Captain Robert Collins, who worked in +Foreign Technology Assessment in regards to missile technology -- not +AFOSI as is widely believed. Pelican said that Collins was discharged +from the Air Force after breaching the security perimeter at the +Manzano nuclear weapons storage facility at Kirtland AFB. + +When taken into custody by base security, Collins told them he was +there "to meet the President." He was discharged shortly thereafter +(Dan says that this incident was orchestrated by Bill Moore, with the +hapless Collins left twisting in the wind). + +Soon after his discharge, Collins began mailing letters "...with my +real name and address on the outside, and my codename on the inside," +said Pelican, who considered these mailings such a hoot that he posted +them on his office wall for the entertainment of his CIA colleagues. + +All in all, an interesting conversation, but I was (as the reader +undoubtedly is now) more confused than ever. + +Of course, nobody is shocked any more by government denials that turn +out to be less than truthful, but as I said before, Pelican was very +convincing. He reiterated Dan Smith's proviso that I keep his name +confidential -- not to keep him from being deluged by UFO kooks, but +rather, so he wouldn't receive unwanted attention from foreign agents +-- a condition that I'll honor, even though Pelican's real name is +already well known to researchers following this story. + +Alien Eschatology +----------------- + +Against this flurry of phone calls, rumors, denials, and +confirmations, HUFON's own abduction research has uncovered an +eschatological angle. It seems even the abductors are getting on the +eschatology band-wagon with abductees reportedly meeting (or at least +perceiving) God, Jesus, dead relatives, and the like, often with dire +warnings concerning "the end of the world." + +Senior HUFON abductions investigator Dale Musser does not take these +accounts at face value, nor does he reject them outright. Musser had +this to say about "spiritual" aspects of the abduction phenomenon: + + "This theory is one held by a number of abductees. Most of these + abductees have been told by the abductors that the aliens have the + right (implication of a divine nature) to do the things they are + doing to the abductees. That they are here to save the earth (exact + means of doing this vary from subject to subject) and to help us. + Usually the abductee is told they were "chosen" and are made to + feel important because of this selection. Often they are told that + at a later date they will 'know what to do,' or they will + "understand when the time is right." The true nature of the beings + themselves is never explained, but left to the individual to + determine. Many believe them to possibly be angels, or other + entities, in service to a deity. There does not seem to be any + clearly defined message, nor are the messages consistent from one + abductee to another. + + "There are several problems with this theory from an investigative + standpoint. First there is even less proof for their statements + than for the abduction itself. The vagueness of the messages + certainly does not relate to trying to convince us of their + concern about the issues. Second, the means and methods of + relaying the messages have the lowest probability of achieving + results. Third, the messages given are usually interpreted after + an event has occurred rather then before, therefore, one never + knows for sure if that's what was truly intended. Most events + predicted, or messages conveyed which are to be understood later, + almost never happen, and those that do are subject to question. + Fourth, the religious significance of the abductors is usually + relevant to the belief system of the abductee. It is not universal + to all abductees. + + "It would appear the abductors 'access' the belief system of the + abductee and play back a scenario that will be acceptable to the + abductees and make them more cooperative. If the individual is + Judeo-Christian, the aliens and their purposes will appear to fit + within that system. If the subject is a Buddhist, the scenario will + be within that belief system. However this is not always true. In + one case, an abductee (who was Christian) was presented with a + totally pagan and mythical belief scenario. A mistake, or a test? + Who knows? + + "What we do know is that there does not appear to be any + consistency to information in these events other than making the + individual believe the abductors are here on some sort of divine + mission. It is interesting to note that atheists seldom have + encounters where they are presented with religious scenarios. Often + they are presented with the idea the aliens are here to help us + prevent the same fate which supposedly befell their own world. It + is hard to believe there is any truth to these spiritual + connections and beliefs when so many differing ones are presented, + some in conflict with the other. The conclusion one could draw + from the data presented is "whatever works, they will use." + +-!- + +So, the abducting entities can't seem to keep their stories straight. +One would expect at least consistency from advanced alien beings, +heavenly angels or demons from hell -- whatever they may be. + +Novelist Whitley Strieber, whose abduction experiences are described +vividly in his non-fiction books, "Communion" and "Transformation" +recounted that when he asked the entities what they were up to, they +responded "We recycle souls." He too was shown "lessons" concerning a +catastrophe affecting the earth. + +Strieber, who has become "alienated" from organized ufology due to his +refusal to categorize the entities he encountered as extraterrestrial +aliens, can only characterize the phenomenon as "not a dream, not a +hallucination, and not real - something else." + +Which brings me back to the subject at hand: what is going on? + +In a word, confusion. There seems to be no correlation between the +perceived abduction events and Dan Smith's eschatological emergency +caused by the practice of "black magic." Smith does seem to be hedging +his bets at times. He has told me that the eschaton event could be a +"benign eschaton," consisting of a universal and positive shift in +human behavior due to Revealed Truth. I could go for that... + +Just as occurred in the waning days of the year 999, when +millennialism swept through Europe causing a virtual societal +breakdown, today there is a growing millennialist movement where many +of the faithful foresee a period of catastrophic "Earth changes," and +Armageddon, the fulfillment of biblical prophesy. + +Fundamentalist Christians eagerly await this disaster because it will +usher in a thousand-year kingdom of Jesus on Earth. + +New-Age channelers are also getting into the act with messages from +angels/ avatars/aliens warning of imminent "Earth changes" along with +warnings against gun control, Zionism, the "New World Order," and +other right-wing paranoid delusions. + +When considering these claims, one would be remiss in not pointing out +the upsurge in reports of Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) sightings, and +other paranormal events of religious significance to the experiencers. +As with the many New Age channeled messages, many of the reported +Marion locutions warn of "Earth changes" and the "End Times." Starting +in 1981, the most spectacular and long-lasting BVM visitation (with +scads of witnesses to the "miracles") occurred in Medjugorje, on the +Adriatic coast of Bosnia Herzegovinia, now one of the most horrific +hell-holes on the planet. So much for the positive spiritual effects +one might expect from from such beatific locutions. Maybe things just +aren't what they seem. + +Anyone familiar with UFO-abduction accounts is forced to conclude that +weird things are happening or at least being perceived as happening by +large numbers of otherwise sane, functional peopIe. Some of these +abductions reports are so bizarre, and with so many similarities to +BVM encounters, that many thoughtful researchers have abandoned the +extraterrestrial hypothesis in favor of the metaphysical or +interdimensional hypothesis. + +Dr. Jacques Vallee has even incorporated the high strangeness of these +events into his comprehensive catalogue of close encounters under the +rubric of "reality transformation." + +As author/futurist Arthur C. Clark is quoted as saying, any +sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic. +David Mayo took this concept a step further when he stated that if +advanced technology appears to be magic, then technology an order of +magnitude beyond that could have the appearance of nonsense to our +primitive simian brains. + +But if there really is such a thing as "black magic," and government +scientists are experimenting with it, I suspect that they could be +blindly running the same risks in dealing with such unknown forces as +the 19th-century scientists who thought nothing of casually handling +radium and other radioactive materials. + +With the clock inexorably ticking off the seconds until midnight, +December 31, 1999 (a date that seems to have some special significance +to the millennialists) eschatological fervor will undoubtedly +increase. Meanwhile, whoever or whatever is behind the UFO phenomenon +is apparently doing everything possible to keep the true nature of +this mystery from being understood. + +But rather than being an indicator of biblical "End Times" or "Earth +changes," the barrage of UFO reports, BVM sightings, abduction +accounts, channeled messages, religious hysteria, and inside poop from +the CIA are probably nothing more than further attempts to distort the +signal with more noise. + +---- + +Many thanks to Robert Durant, Dale Musser, Ray Boeche, George Hansen, +Ron Madeley and of course, Dan Smith for their assistance on this +story. + +** End ** + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Steffens + + In January of 1993, the first issue of EUFON was published. The idea be- +hind the newsletter was to make a publication were the latest information deal- +ing with the UFO phenomenon could be found. It would consist of information +obtained from the various electronic mediums (Internet, Fido, Mufon, etc.) as +well as author submitted articles. It was also a way to keep up to date with +the schedule of UFO related conferences. + + We began with the Linda Napolitano case and before long we had various +authors submitting articles on all sorts of UFO related subjects. By April, +the newsletter was gaining a reputation for providing serious information and +by May, BBSs from Europe were requesting it by name. Unfortunately, that same +month I had to relocate and lost all contact with the UFO research community. + + In late December - early January, I got in touch with a few colleagues who +urged me to get Baron Carlos' Castle back on-line and to fill the hard disk +space they had separated on their boards to store new EUFON issues. Well, my +board isn't back on-line and I'm still pretty much out of touch with the UFO +community, but their support encouraged me to publish this issue. + + This issue breaks from the traditional EUFON format in that it is a compi- +lation of UFO news that have been recently published. It also includes the +transcript of a CNN program where Mr. Bruce Maccabee and Mr. Ed Komarek were +interviewed regarding the UFO phenomenon. There are no book reports nor annou- +ncements, and there will be none until I get back on-line (unless you mail them +to me). + + Although there are no ground breaking news in these issue, it has very +interesting information which I am sure you will enjoy. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 2 04 Feb 1994 + + + Copyright 1993 The New York Times Company + The New York Times + + November 29, 1993, Monday, Late Edition - Final + + +Study Finds No Abnormality In Those Reporting U.F.O.'s + +By WALTER SULLIVAN + + + A study of 49 people who have reported encounters with unidentified fly- +ing objects has found no tendency toward abnormality, apart from a previous +belief that such visitations from beyond the earth do occur. + + The survey was designed to explore the suggestion that such sightings are +associated with disorders like epilepsy, or a tendency to fantasize. Abnormali- +ty of the temporal lobe of the brain, the outer, lower region, which figures in +memory and learning, has also come under suspicion. It has been proposed that +abnormality of the temporal lobe may be associated with intense religious +experiences, visions or apparitions. + + The study was conducted by four researchers in the department of psycholo- +gy at Carleton University in Ottawa and reported in the November issue of the +Journal of Abnormal Psychology. + +Psychological Tests + + The study group was recruited through advertisements in several newspapers +that said: "Carleton University researcher seeks adults who have seen U.F.O.'s. +Confidential." Each subject was interviewed for about three hours and paid $5 +an hour. For comparison, 127 people, recruited from the student body and the +local population, were similarly tested. + + The tests included standard psychological tests used to identify subjects +with various mental disorders and assess their intelligence. The U.F.O. group +proved slightly more intelligent than the others. Members of the group were +divided into two categories: those who said they had simply seen U.F.O.'s at a +distance and those who reported more intimate encounters, classified as +"intense" candidates. + + The large majority of U.F.O. experiences were reported to have taken place +at night, and almost 60 percent were associated with sleep. Of the experiences +classified as "intense," the study said a quarter were "most probably explica- +ble in terms of sleep paralysis," a condition that occurs in otherwise normal +subjects either just as they fall asleep or as they wake. + + The Carleton authors note that sleep paralysis often produces a feeling of +suffocation as well as auditory and visual hallucinations and "the sense of a +presence." For a moment the person cannot move. + +Strengthen a Previous Belief + + "Hallucinating a space alien while paralyzed in bed," they said, was likely +to strengthen a previous belief in alien life. + + Some of those describing U.F.O. encounters to other researchers have told of +an aftermath of extreme stress. Such cases should be investigated for signs of +sleep paralysis, the Carleton authors said, and the extent to which the +resulting fear is exacerbated into full-blown trauma by belief in an EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 3 04 Feb 1994 + + +extraterrestrial attack. + + On the other hand, the researchers found that most of their U.F.O. subjects +were relatively content and anxiety free. They apparently took comfort in their +belief "that space aliens were concerned with and even guiding the destiny of +humankind." + + The authors of the study were Nicholas P. Spanos, Patricia A. Cross, Kirby +Dickson and Susan C. DuBreuil. + + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + Copyright 1993 Agence France Presse + Agence France Presse + + November 25, 1993 + + +Reports of UFO sightings in Johannesburg suburbs + + + JOHANNESBURG, Nov 25 (AFP) - Residents of Johannesburg's northern suburbs +called a local radio talk show Thursday to report an unidentified flying +object. + + About half a dozen callers from the Rivonia area said it was around 5:00 +p.m. (1500 GMT) Thursday when they saw the UFO, emitting "a whooshing sound" as +it headed south at the altitude of "a landing aircraft." + + They described the object variously as "round," "bullet-shaped," or +"diamond-shaped," with "flashing red lights." + + A spokesman for the private Radio 702 station said Thursday's calls fol- +lowed a similar one Wednesday from a resident of Kyalami, venue of the Formula- +-1 South African Grand Prix. + + The spokesman said most of the callers "sounded like fairly intelligent +people." + + The calls stopped after one listener, who identified himself only as +Russell, brought a political dimension to the sightings: The UFO landed in his +back yard, he said, little men stepped out and said, "take us to your +responsible leader." + + "I told them we had no responsible leaders, and they climbed back into +their machine and left," Russell reported. + + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 4 04 Feb 1994 + + + Copyright 1993 The New York Times Company + The New York Times + + November 21, 1993, Sunday, Late Edition - Final + + +For U.F.O. Fans, Question Is Not 'If?' but 'How Was the Trip?' + +By DOUGLAS MARTIN + + + Granville Angell denounced the way some people have begun to refer to +visitors from outer space as "grays," though most of those sighted indeed seem +to have been that color. + + The psychological counselor from Lincolnton, N.C., said he spoke from +experience, having been abducted himself by aliens a time or two. He said it +would be more sensitive to use terms like extraterrestrial biological entities, +visitors, beings or occupants. + + So far Mr. Angell's patients have not included ET's, though he regularly +tries to help Earthlings adjust to getting to know them. "The first trauma is +having reality shattered," he said. "The second is when the person has the +courage to come out of the closet and share his experience." + + Yesterday at the Ramada Pennsylvania Hotel at Seventh Avenue and 33d +Street, a person who had seen an unidentified flying object or even hundreds +would hardly be branded as an oddball. Around 1,000 flying saucer buffs gath- +ered to hear some of the country's leading experts discussing extraterrestrial +intelligence, and how the world's governments, particularly Washington, are +covering up their ever more intimate relationship with beings from far, far +away. + +An American Preoccupation + + To be sure, flying saucers have been an American preoccupation since at +least the early 1950's. But the Brownies and Polaroids of yesteryear have given +way to advanced visual technologies, including the direct monitoring of space +shuttle transmissions on cable television. Moreover, hypnosis and other +psychological tools are being more widely used to help people remember alien +abductions. + + Perhaps most significant, two generations have been more than enough time +for a mountain of knowledge and legend to accumulate on U.F.O.s, as fascination +continues to grow. + + It has all come together at this weekend's extravaganza at the Ramada. The +gathering was the product of Whole Life Productions, a Los Angeles producer of +natural food and holistic health fairs. "In California right now, this is the +segment of the paranormal spectrum that's getting the most attention," said +Paul Andrews, Whole Life's president. + + There was something for everyone who yearned to believe that there was +more to sentient life than human beings. For $25 admission, attenders could +hear lectures on how Martians may have shot down the National Aeronautics and +Space Administration's probe of the red planet or how cave men interacted with +alien visitors. For just $30 more each, they could attend workshops on U.F.O. +sightings on Long Island or the possibility of human evolution's being the +result of alien genes. + EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 5 04 Feb 1994 + + +'Aren't They Cute?' + + "We've weeded out all the goofballs," said Gary Schultz, who spoke on +alien technology. + + At tables piled high with merchandise, they could buy copies of the +"Cereologist: The Journal of Crop Circle Studies"; have sicknesses healed at +the price of $ (this part was lost in the transmission), a trip to Yucatan's +pyramids for $1,306. Statues of little gray extraterrestrial beings were also +available at $20 plus $4 for shipping and handling. + + "Aren't they cute?" a woman chirped, tugging at a man's arm. + + Mr. Andrews cited several reasons for the upsurge of interest. One is the +increase in assertions that an ultra-secret government research area in New +Mexico has long been the site of joint research with extraterrestrials. Another is unexplained huge circles in fields that U.F.O. buffs say are saucer landing +spots. Still another are mutilations of cattle herds that cannot be explained +away except as the product of advanced technologies, Mr. Andrews said. + + But the biggest reason is new video technology, including the ability of +home viewers to tap into space shuttle transmissions and study the heavens for +themselves. + +Did Reagan Hint at Aliens? + + One speaker intended to use NASA tapes to prove the moon is inhabited, +while another claimed photographic evidence of a rocket blasting off from Mars. + + At a press conference, participants showed videos to press these points, a +case that would have been strengthened had the television worked properly. Ev- +ery so often, President Reagan's face would emerge from the static and he would +say the differences between the Soviet Union and the United States would seem +meaningless if they together faced an alien threat -- a statement speakers +insisted that Mr. Reagan made on five or six different occasions. + + But in intermittent bursts, the videos showed intriguing phenomena. One +portrayed a bright light, saucer shaped, approaching over the Earth's horizon, +then suddenly turning tail and retreating into space at a much higher speed. +Another showed what looked like a carving of a face on the surface of Mars that +a speaker said was a mile across. + + Robert O. Dean, who spent 27 years in the United States Army and claimed +to have a "cosmic security clearance," told the news conference that he had +assembled a team of generals and admirals, as well as astronauts and cosmo- +nauts, who were prepared to go public and shatter the global cover-up. All they +need is immunity from prosecution for violating security clearances and a com- +mitment to broadcast their testimony without editing, possibly on C-Span. + +Earthlings Might Panic + + "We're not simply dealing with extraterrestrial visitation," Mr. Dean +said. "It's a lot bigger than that. This makes Watergate, the Cold War, all of +that, trivial in importance." + + EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 6 04 Feb 1994 + + + So why isn't the United States Government telling the truth? Michael Luc- +kman, president of the New York Center for U.F.O. Research, cited three reaso- +ns. One is that if U.F.O.'s were officially acknowledged, people might no lon- +ger pay allegiance to leaders of individual countries. Second, aliens might be +able to rule the world with their superior technology. Third, Earthlings might +panic. + + Mr. Angell suggested it all may come down to ego, particularly since most +people assume the aliens are more advanced. He said, "When two societies +interface, and one is superior to the other, the one that is less developed +generally collapses," he said. "Our Government may be trying to protect us from +this fear, and we should be more sensitive to the good intentions behind the +coverup." + + This was an intense group of people, including some who have been U.F.O. +buffs for 20 years without ever seeing one. But Mr. Andrews drew the line at +permitting the participation of "channelers" who act as conduits for the voices +of long dead aliens. + + "To be honest with you, there are people in this field who belong in an +institution," he said with a laugh. + + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + Copyright 1993 Reuters, Limited + + November 19, 1993, Friday, BC cycle + + +DEMONSTRATORS SEEK UN ACTION ON UFOS + +By Anthony Goodman + + + As if the United Nations hasn't got its hands full dealing with problems +on Earth, a small group of demonstrators marched near U.N. headquarters Friday +to demand action concerning visitors from outer space. + + Specifically, they want the world body to take the lead in disclosing +information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) , or so-called "flying +saucers," which they say is being covered up by many governments. + + "We call upon the U.N. secretary-general to end the worldwide UFO cover-up +and acknowledge to the world's people that the UFO phenomenon is +extraterrestrial," says one of their pamphlets. + + The demonstration, with about three dozen participants, was organized by +the New York Center for UFO Research and Operation Right to Know, in connection +with a two-day UFO conference at a New York hotel. + + In a recent letter to Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the two +organizations said the United Nations already has the necessary means at hand. + + They cited a 1978 decision by the General Assembly which invited interest- +ed member states to "take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level +scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including +unidentified flying objects. " EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 7 04 Feb 1994 + + + Adopted without a vote, it was the result of lobbying by the then-prime +minister of the Caribbean nation of Grenada, Eric Gairy, who wanted the United +Nations to set up an agency to explore UFOs and similar phenomena. + + Like many other Assembly decisions, this one remained a dead letter. + + One of the demonstration's organizers, Mike Luckman, citing the wars and +environmental disasters plaguing Earth, said: "If the extraterrestrials ever +landed, being from an advanced civilization, they could help us out in myriad +ways." + + Asked how he knew they were friendly, he replied: "There is no indication +they are not friendly. I'm not saying that every single one of them is, because +it is a vast universe ..." + + Luckman, a 52-year-old free-lance public relations man, has never seen a +UFO, which he says are rarely sighted in New York City. + + "Pine Bush, New York, is the place to see them. That's the closest hot +spot to New York City," he added. + + But he said he had pored over thousands of documents "pried out of every +branch of the government involved in national security ... which clearly say +UFOs are real, they operate under intelligent control, they are extraterrestri- +al in origin and they are visiting Earth." + + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + Copyright 1993 Cable News Network, Inc. + All rights reserved + CNN + + Sonya Live + + July 2, 1993 + + Transcript # 330 - 2 + + +U.F.O.s + +BY: SONYA FRIEDMAN; + +Two believers in U.F.O.'s discuss sightings and the alleged government cover-up +of information about U.F.O.'s.

And now for something completely +different, does the United States government bury reports of unidentified +flying objects? Ed Komarek says yes, and that's why he helped start a group +called Operation Right to Know. How does Ed know? He saw one with his own +eyes. Those who believe that there is a U.F.O. cover-up usually cite an +incident back in 1947, a crash of an object later identified by government +officials as a weather balloon, which U.F.O. advocates say is baloney. They +have a letter to prove it. Bruce Maccabee works for the Navy as a research +physicist. He's also President of the Maryland Chapter of the Mutual U.F.O. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 8 04 Feb 1994 + + +Network. U.F.O. partisans will be demonstrating at the White House on Monday +to protest the concealment of what they feel is a mountain of data on an abun- +dance of U.F.O. sightings. Mr. Komarek, tell us about the U.F.O. that you saw. + +ED KOMAREK, Operation Right To Know: OK, my situation was a little unusual. A +lot of times, people usually have a sighting, and that gets them into the +U.F.O. subject. With me, I've been involved, like, 20 years, and I finally got +lucky and was in the right place at the right time, and I was working on a +case, oh, about 25 miles north of where I live, and it involved an encounter +case where a fellow was telling me about his encounters with a small human type +of alien. And what I saw was a bright red light, came in from the side, sort +of like a- at the speed of an airplane, but it was like a stop sign with, like, +a little purple in the middle, and as it slowed down, it came on in, and as it +slowed down, the bright red light got smaller and smaller. And then, when it +was actually hovering, you could actually see the other lights on the craft, +just like if an airliner was sitting out there, you know, and not making any +sound at all, and so, I tend, you know, a lot more to believe this fellow, you +know, because I did see it myself, even though I had, you know, no encounters +with the occupants or anything like that. + +SONYA: Now, Mr. Maccabee, there's proof, definite proof, that the government is +hiding material? + +BRUCE MACCABEE, Mutual U.F.O. Network: There's strong circumstantial evidence +buried in the government's own documents. The government has been collecting +information on the subject since 1947, and we know that official intelligence +collection requirements went out to various agencies including the agencies of +the Air Force and the Army and the Navy, the C.I.A. and so on, as early as the +fall of 1947. And the during the first five or six years of- up until the ear- +ly 1950's, the F.B.I. collected a considerable amount of information as well, +and if there was nothing to it, you would ask the question, why bother collect- +ing information? + +SONYA: Well, I'm not sure whether or not information is really being collected. +I've looked at a number of the documents that, frankly, are very hazy in terms +of what they say, but you've got guys like Ed Komarek out here. You don't need +the government, Mr. Maccabee. You could just round up guys like Ed, ask them a +variety of questions, and test the veracity. For example, how would you know +if what Ed reported was the truth, or frankly, a figment of his imagination, or +something else out there? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, I presume if it were just Mr. Komarek making a sighting +report, I probably wouldn't be extremely interested in the subject. Sorry, Ed, +but you know, that's the way it goes. On the other hand, I presume it was a +multiple-witness sighting. + +Mr. KOMAREK: It was. + +Mr. MACCABEE: The ones that I'm most particularly interested in are multiple +witness sightings during the daytime when credible, experienced observers see +things which- close enough so that they can see fine details of structure, and +it's clearly not a bird or a plane or Superman, it's something very unusual, +and I know of a number of sightings like that. + +SONYA: Now when you say you know of a number of sightings like that, you have +documented those. Each of these people has been interrogated by whom, by the +way. Who would actually interrogate people about whether or not they saw +U.F.O.'s? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, the Air Force did a lot of interrogations in the early EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 9 04 Feb 1994 + + +years, up through 1969, and if one were just to go back and look at the +interviews, even the F.B.I. interviewed people in 1947. If one were to go back +and look at the interviews by the Air Force and other intelligence agencies, +you would find that there is a considerable amount of detail which is avail- +able. It's just not easy to come by. I, myself, on the other hand, have in- +terviewed a number of people myself, including pilots, and they're very credi- +ble people, and they describe, quite accurately, what they can- what they can +see. + +SONYA: Do they describe what Ed just told you he saw? I mean, can you, in +listening to Ed, get a sense that he's on a similar track to others? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Probably on a similar track, but I would have to- I didn't know +Ed had a sighting. So, I would have to sit down and talk to him, and anybody +else who saw it and try to make correlations of what had happened. + +SONYA: What do you want to know from him, I'm curious? You're the expert. + +Mr. MACCABEE: What do I want? + +SONYA: Yeah. + +Mr. MACCABEE: What do I want to know from Ed? Well, I would want to sit down +with him and go through the whole thing, second-by-second, or minute-by-minute, +and then, after I understand what his general description is, go back and look +for fine details. If there are other witnesses, then I would talk very +carefully, ask similar questions of the other witnesses, interview them +independently of Ed, and try to correlate all these stories. Now, for example, +we have situations in Gulf Breeze, Florida, in the last couple of years, where +there have been literally dozens of witnesses to strange lights and things +moving around in the sky. These people have been interviewed. We have created +triangulations, that is sightings of one thing from several different loca- +tions. It involves not only that, but videotape, photographs and so on, and +all this information, when combined, leads to the conclusion that there's some- +thing unidentified flying around in our air space. + +SONYA: Gentlemen, when we continue, I'm going to ask both of you the following. +I mean, if there is intelligence that is capable of doing what you have +described, coming to this planet, and wants to be seen/heard, here we are right +here. We'll give them all of the opportunity to be seen and to be heard. Why +aren't they doing it in clearly what is the most obvious way? 212-643-0077. +Have you had a sighting? Give us a call. + +[Commercial break] + +SONYA: Welcome back. U.F.O.'s, the government keeping documents secret proving +that there were U.F.O.'s that landed on this country? I don't know. Let's go +to New Jersey and say hello to Dante. Welcome. + +1st CALLER: [New Jersey] Hello. + +SONYA: Yes. + +1st CALLER: I just wanted to tell of an experience that I had. I'm 48 years +old now. When I was 12 years old, I lived in California, and we were on a trip +to King's Canyon National Park in California. I was with my mother, my father, +my best friend and her mother and father. Her father was an excellent +photographer. We sighted a U.F.O. on the way up to the park on this one-lane +road, and we parked by the side of the road, and we sat there on the hill, and +we watched it. Other people stopped and they watched it. We saw it from EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 10 04 Feb 1994 + + +mid-afternoon until dusk. My girlfriend's father took many, many, many +pictures, and finally, there were three of them. They were close. They never +landed, but they were close enough to see their shape, the size, the colors of +the lights and everything like that. + +SONYA: All right, then the question really is, Ed, if there are people from +outer space coming to this planet, why aren't they landing, getting out? The +government can't stop them. I mean, there are people all around that could +help prove the validity of it. + +Mr. KOMAREK: OK, it's a very complex situation. You know, of course, I'm only +speculating because I haven't had any encounters personally with the occupants, +or had any discussions with them, though some people claim to have done that. +Basically, from the information that I've seen, there are so many different +types of sightings, the different types of apparent craft that are using +advanced forms of propulsion and such a variety of different types of occupants +reported that you have quite a number of different types with a wide range of +agendas and motivations, but there seems to be a common thread that holds them +together, and our relationship to us, and I think that is that they are proba- +bly concerned about culture shock. In our own country, we've seen where a more +advanced culture has come in contact with a less advanced, technically advanced +culture, and the less technically advanced culture has been devastated by the +new ideas and the new ways of looking at things, as well as the technology and +everything. So I think there would be, you know, from my perspective and +speculation, there would be a concern, a definite concern for culture shock. + +SONYA: Well, you certainly sound as though you are convinced about all this. +Let's see if Brian in California is. Welcome, Brian. Brian, are you with us? + +2nd CALLER: [California] Yes, I am. + +SONYA: Go ahead. + +2nd CALLER: Yeah, I have a question about someone who is involved with this +whole situation with U.F.O.'s. How does a person who's interested and wanting +to get involved with people who are doing the investigations go about getting +in contact with these people? + +SONYA: Bruce? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, you can contact the Mutual U.F.O. Network in Seguin, Texas. +I presume if you call Seguin, S-E-G-U-I-N, Texas, and ask for information, they +could give you a phone number that you could call. I would like to say to the +previous lady who made a report just about two minutes ago, I would be very +interested in seeing the photographs, and she can get a hold of me simply by +calling information in Washington, D.C. and asking the information person for a +phone number for U.F.O. The Fund for U.F.O. Research is headquartered in +Washington, D.C., and will be- The number that person gets will ring the +Fund for U.F.O. Research. + +SONYA: Bruce, let me ask you if you agree with what Ed says. I mean, frankly, +the technology is there. If somebody wanted to get in touch with us, they can. +I'm not so narcissistic that I don't think that there are other forms of +intelligence, and we could use all the help we could get. + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, that's true, but we don't know what their agenda is, and it +would appear, over the last 40 years, that their agenda does not involve di- +rect, overt contact. On the other hand, it's clear that they haven't tried to +completely hide themselves. I presume if they had tried that, then there would +not be any U.F.O. sightings, and nobody would be here discussing the problem. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 11 04 Feb 1994 + + + +SONYA: Let's go to Vermont and say hello to Mia, welcome. + +3rd CALLER: [Vermont] Hello. + +SONYA: Yes. + +3rd CALLER: I'm calling from Vermont, and I just wanted to say that I used to +live in Sparks, Nevada. It was the year, approximately, 1977 when I saw three +very, very fast-moving objects in the blue sky, and I have never forgotten. +There was no one that I could call to share this with, but it was- It was very +fascinating to see these three objects flying so fast. + +SONYA: And you're sure, in your own mind, that these were U.F.O.'s? + +3rd CALLER: Oh, absolutely. + +SONYA: Now Bruce, when you talk about the fact that the government is keeping +things back from us, what do you think is the agenda there, really, why? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, they probably know something we don't. First, I'd like to +point out that you can always trust Vermonters, being one myself, so obviously +that lady saw U.F.O.'s. Second thing is, we don't know what the government +hasn't released. All we can do is make deductions based on interviews with +witnesses. As you pointed out in your initial statements in this program, +there seems to be evidence that the government actually retrieved crashed sau- +cer pieces or something like that back in 1947, and then, in my opinion, went +into sort of a dual mode of operation, one was to control access to the evi- +dence, and the other one was to collect U.F.O. information. Now here we have a +picture of a- These are a series of photos from videotapes taken within the +last six months by people, one in Gulf Breeze, Florida, another one up in Cana- +da. Unfortunately, these are not being shown in real time, but rather as still +frames. The one in Florida was particularly interesting. I think it's the +first video we have of a U.F.O. moving along very slowly, and then all of a +sudden accelerating to an extremely high speed, and going out of the field of +the view of the camera faster than the cameraman could follow it. I estimate +that if it were 1,000 feet from the camera, that it was eight to nine feet in +diameter, and within 1/30th of a second, it achieved an acceleration about 500 +G's. + +SONYA: Mr. Maccabee, all of this is so interesting because I think there are +many of us who would love to have the opportunity to also have a contact. When +we continue, I'm going to ask you if there's any way that people could enhance +that possibility, and we'd like your calls. Any comments you have about this, +do you believe this is true, that there's really a government cover-up? +212-643-0077. + +[Commercial break] + +SONYA: Welcome back. As we continue to talk about this, the issue of the +U.F.O.'s, Bruce, is there a way that people could call the experience to them? +I mean, it's always, like, out in the desert in Nevada or somewhere where +there's one or two people around, but family members or close friends. If I +wanted to, could I set up a certain kind of condition to make it happen? + +Mr. MACCABEE: Not that I know of, although some people have tried that. U.F.O. +sightings seem to happen more or less, mostly more, independently of who hap- +pens to be looking. Now, if you're trying to find a U.F.O. sighting for your- +self, you might keep track of where- what areas of the country or what areas of +the world are having sightings at any particular time, and try to go there. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 12 04 Feb 1994 + + +Down in Gulf Breeze, Florida, between November, 1990 and July, 1992 they- a +number of people- had about 170 recorded sightings. There were so many of the +happening down there that I went down myself in September of '91 and happened +to be there on the night when there was indeed something that appeared in the +sky. I saw a ring of white lights just appear in the sky above Gulf Breeze. +It was very steady and motionless until it started to move a little bit. We +saw it for 70 seconds, and then it just sort of faded out, and there was noth- +ing there. Rings of light are not supposed to appear in the sky. That was +just one of many sightings like that in the area. Now those sightings sort of +ended last July, in the sense that, up until July of last year, they were hav- +ing several per week, and since July of last year, they've had, maybe a few +dozen sightings total, so the point is, that if you- + +SONYA: Well, what's going on, I guess, is really the question, and let's ask +that of Barry from California. What do you think? + +4th CALLER: Yes, I had a question for Mr. Maccabee regarding the spaceship +sightings in the area north of Las Vegas around the town of Rachel, which is +known as Area 51, and that's where some of the more outlandish claims that the +government is actually working on alien technology and there might be an alien +presence there. Would you like to comment? Thank you. + +Mr. MACCABEE: Yes. Well, there certainly have been claims that area, where +highly classified aircraft are tested, might be an area where they would be +testing U.F.O.'s if the government is testing the flight of flying saucers or +U.F.O.'s. I don't have any guaranteed evidence that something unusual us going +on there. On the other hand, it's clear that numerous people, including news +crews, not only from the United States, but from other countries, have gone to +that area, and photographed some oddly-behaving, lighted something or others +over the restricted area. Now, I suppose one could imagine that the Air Force +is flying ordinary helicopters or aircraft and then putting on garish lighting +in order to entertain people who go to the little alien. + +SONYA: If I was your wife, Bruce, or your wife, Ed. I don't know if I would +believe all of this stuff. Just very quickly, does your wife believe this, +Bruce? + +Mr. MACCABEE: My wife told me that before she met me, she had not really +thought much about it, but after being, sort of, beaten on, I guess, about the +subject for the last almost 10 years, over 10 years now, she's convinced that +there really is something there. + +SONYA: Either that, or you're a great salesman. Ed, what about you? + +Mr. KOMAREK: Yeah, my wife was pretty skeptical to begin with, but I think +she's just seen so much evidence that is continuously flowing across my desk, EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 13 04 Feb 1994 + + +and that I have shared with her, that she's beginning to believe that there's +definitely something to it. + +SONYA: Ed, did everybody with you have the exact same experience in this +multiple sighting. Were the details different at all? + +Mr. KOMAREK: OK, this one, it was basically the same details on the sighting. +It got a lot more deeper than what I said, and in fact, the witnesses don't +even want me to talk about it that much, and so I really haven't reported it to +M.U.F.O.N. or any other organizations, because it involves the guy that claims +to have contact with E.T.'s, does not want the information to get out, his +E.T.'s don't want it to get out. That's what he said. + +SONYA: What would prove you wrong? + +Mr. MACCABEE: What would prove me wrong? + +SONYA: Mm-hmm. + +Mr. MACCABEE: Well, I have analyzed a large number of sightings, which I claim +are unexplainable in ordinary terms. If someone can come along and provide +convincing solutions to all of these sightings, that is convincing, perhaps, to +an independent panel, or whatever, then I would have to say, well, I have no +evidence. On the other hand, it would be hard to prove me wrong, I guess, in +terms of a government cover-up, without having the government spill the beans +on virtually everything it is doing. So, that could be kind of difficult, I +would think. + +SONYA: OK, now I want you guys to be real careful this weekend, because there's +going to be lots of stuff up in the skies. It's going to be fireworks, so be +cautious about that when you take your pictures. + +Mr. KOMAREK: OK, you all come to our demonstration now, on July 5th. + +SONYA: That's right, you're having a demonstration in front of the White House +for the right to know, so that the government releases the documents, gentle- +men, I thank you for being with us, and I thank you for giving us something to +think about, and I'll be right back. + +[Commercial break] + +SONYA: Well, thank you for joining me today. On Monday, observing an American +holiday with a question for America, do you really want to turn your back on +the next generation of immigrants? That's the question as I continue to ask +why things are the way they are, a look at our world from the inside out. En- +joy the rest of your day, and have a wonderful and safe weekend. + EUFONews 2-1 Page 14 04 Feb 1994 + + +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< + EUFON INFORMATION +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< + + +Editor: Carlos A.

Sur la premiere, en haut, les positions anterieu- + res successives de l'ovni sont figurees par de petits carres. + Le pilote ayant verouille son radar sur l'intrus, le symbole + represantant l'ovni est devenu un losange. Les petites barres + verticales qui l'encadrent indiquent que le pilote vient de + designer a l'ordinateur la cible a poursuivre, et le radar + restera desormais automatiquement pointe sur celle-ci.

Le mot "AIR" en haut de l'ecran signifie que + le radar est programme pour une recherche air-air, soit une + detection pour tout ce qui se trouve a une altitude superieure + a 200 metres. L'ovni, lui se trouve a une altitude de 2 000 + metres, inscrite sur la photo par le chiffre 07 (7 000 pieds). + La sequence video complete montre que, alors, l'ovni plonge + vers le sol en une seconde. Sur la photo du bas , le 00 + ( haut de l'ecran a droite ) indique qu'il est en-dessous + du 200 metres d'altitude. La ligne de l'horison artificiel + bascule: l'avion amorce un virage vers la droite pour essayer + de s'aligner sur l'ovni, qui plonge. La colonne de chiffres + sous le losange donne l'azimut de la cible ( 290 degres, + soit ouest/nord-ouest ). 990 K donne la vitesse en noeuds + de l'objet, soit 1830 Km/h ( Mach 1,5 ) ! Le 080 R, enfin, + indique la nature de la cible en langage code. Ce chiffre + signifie qu'elle ne correspont a aucune identification + connue.

Le 22 juin, pour la premiere + fois, une armee de l'air accepte de reveler - en - partie - + une piece capitale de ce dossier qui ne releve pas de la science- + fiction. + + Ce jour-la, apres m'etre pliee a tous les controles de securite, + je me trouve pres de Bruxelles, au Q.g. de l'armee de l'air + belge. Dans une petite salle, le colonel De Brouwer, chef de + la section Operation de la Force aerienne belge, enclanche le + magnetoscope. Sur l'ecrand video apparait le film ramene dans + la boite noire du F-16 lance dans la nuit du 30 au 31 mars + dernier a la poursuite d'un objet volant non identifie. Il ne + s'agit pas de la grande traque qui eut lieu quinze jours plus + tard, au cours de ce fameux week-end pascal ou, sans resultat + toute la Belgique avait essaye de chasser l'ovni, mais d'une + mission jusqu'ici tenue secrete. + + Depuis novembre 1989, les militaires belges sont sur les dents. + De nombreux rapports de gendarmes arrivent quotidiennement + faisant etat d'observations d'ovnis au-dessus du territoire. + Tout a commence lors de cette folle nuit du 29 novembre 1989, + au cours de laquelle trente groupes de temoins ( dont trois + patrouilles de gendarmes ), eparpilles sur 800 km carre entre + Liege et les frontieres allemandes et neerlandaises, ont + observe, des heures durant, un etrange appareil triangulaire + partiquement silencieux evoluant a tres basse vitesse et tres + basse altitude sans creer la moindre turbulence. + + Comme toutes les forces aeriennes du monde, les militaires + belges disposent d'appareils supersoniques prets, vingt- + quatre heures sur vingt-quatre, a decoller en cinq minutes. + Ici, il s'agit de deux F-16 monoplaces armes de missiles. + Le Q.g. est prudent. Au cours des mois precedents, les deux + chasseurs ont, a deux reprises, vainement ete depeches sur + les lieux. La premiere fois, ils n'ont rien detecte; la + seconde, il ne s'agissait que de taches lumineuses produites + par les lasers emanant d'une boite de nuit. + + + ____________________________________________________ + | | + | Le Colonel de Brouwer: "Notre systeme de defence | + | est impuissant face a ces engins" | + |___________________________________________________| + + + Cette nuit de 30 mars, apres des appels reiteres - nottament + ceux du capitaine de gendarmerie Pinson - , le Q.g. se livrera + donc a de nombreuses verifications. Outre la simple observa- + tion visuelle de nombreux temoins, le radar de Glons ( au sud- + est de Bruxelles ), qui fait partie du dispositif de securite + de l'Otan, et celui de Semmerzake (a l'ouest de la capitale ), + qui controle les trafics civil et militaire de tout le terri- + toire belge, ont tous deux capte l'echo d'un ovni. La portee + ( 300 Km ) de ces deux radars suffit a balayer tres largement + la zone ou va se derouler l'observation. Dans cette region, + les reliefs sont peu accentues et la couverture radar est + parfaite pour tout objet evoluant au-dessus de 200 metres + d'altitude. Neanmoins, le Q.g. belge va faire effectuer des + verifications minutieuses pendant cinquante minutes pour + eliminer tout risque de faux echo du a un phenomene d'inver- + tion de temperature. + + Tout les avions ( civils ou militaires ) sont equipes d'un + systeme de repondeur radar automatique permettant leur + identification immediate sous la forme d'un signal code + apparaissant sur l'ecran. L'echo recu cette nuit-la + equivaut a celui d'un avion se deplacant a tres basse + vitesse ( 50 Km/h ) et changeant frequemment de cap et + d'altitude, mais il ne delivre aucun message permettant + son identification. + + L'armee de l'air belge ne peut pas laisser survoler son + territoire par un objet volant non identifie: a 0 h 05, + l'ordre est donc donne aux F-16 de decoller et d'aller + traquer l'intrus. En tete, le chef de patrouille ne + quitte pas des yeux son radar de poursuite, qui, dans + une mission nocturne, constitue son meilleur organe + de " vision ". ( Le F-16 est un appareil tres sophis- + tique dont le radar de poursuite n'est pas fixe par + rapport a l'avion, mais permet une recherche intel- + ligente de l'objectif, horizontale et verticale, avec + un champ visuel de 90 degre ) A quelques dizaines de + metres de lui, legerement en retrait, son allier, + dans le deuxieme F-16, suit les manoeuvres de son + chef de patrouille en se concentrant sur le contact + avec le centre de coordination des operations. + + Soudain, les deux F-16 voient apparaitre l'intrus + sur leur ecran, petite abeille dansant sur le scope. + Comme dans les jeux video, en utilisant un petit + levier ( " joy stick " ), les pilotes designent alors + a leur ordinateur de bord la cible a poursuivre. Des + que le verouillage est fait sur l'image, la tache + sur l'ecran se transforme en losange, ce qui veut + dire que desormais les deux radars des F-16 resteront + automatiquement braques sur l'objet en indiquant sur + l'ecran sa position, sa distance et sa vitesse. + L'objet est tout proche... + + Sur cette sequence que le colonel De Brouswer nous + a exceptionnellement autorises a visionner, on entend + les echanges radio des pilotes. L'emotion de ces + dernier est perceptible. + + " Regardez, me dit le colonel en arretant l'image et + en me designant le losange. A ce stage, dans notre + jargon militaire, il s'agit d'une interception reussie. + + -- Concretement, qu'est que cela veut dire, une + " interception reussie " ? + + -- Nos chasseurs sont armes de missiles autodirecteurs. + Si l'ordre de tir leur etait donne, il leur suffirait de + lacher leurs bordees de missiles pour que ceux-ci, nantis + des donnees fournies par l'ordinateur de bord, se diri- + gent intelligemment vers la cible. Evidemment, dans cette + affaire, il n'en etait pas question. Nous voulions + identifier l'intrus. + + Les pilotes n'auront pas le temps d'amorcer cette procedure. + Les radars resteront pendant six secondes verouilles sur + la cible, et l'objet, qui a progressivement pris de la + vitesse et est a ce moment a 280 Km/h, atteint, en passant + de 3 000 a 1 700 metres d'altitude, la vitesse de 1 800 + Km/h en ... une seconde ! Cette fantastique acceleration + correspond a 40 g ; elle entrainerait la mort immediate + de tout humain se trouvant a bord: la limite de ce que + peut supporter un pilote de chasse est de l'ordre de 8 g.{1} + La trajectoire de l'engin est extremement deconcertante. + Parvenu a 1 700 metres d'altitude, il plonge rapidement + vers le sol: au-dessous de 200 metres, il echappe a la + fois aux radars des F-16 et a ceux de Glons et de Semmer- + zake. Dans cette grande banlieu sud de Bruxelles, le sol + n'est qu'un scintillement continuel de lumieres parmi + lesquelles les pilotes ne peuvent distinguer visuellement + le moindre objet. + + + _______________________________________ + | | + | " Ce ne peut etre quelque chose | + | cree par l'homme " | + |_______________________________________| + + + " De toute maniere, il etait exclu pour les F-16 de ra- + trapper l'engin a cette basse altitude ou la densite de + l'air leur interdit d'evoluer a plus de 1 300 Km/h. Au- + dela, la temperature au niveau des compresseurs des mo- + teurs ferait eclater les turbines, precise le colonel + De Brouwer. Il y a une logique dans le comportement de + l'ovni. " + + + Tout se passe comme si ce mysterieux appareil cherchait + intelligemment a echapper aux chasseurs. Pendant l'heure + qui va suivre, le meme scenario se reproduira deux fois. + Le rapport officiel fourni par l'etat-major general de + la Force aerienne a la Sobeps (societe belge d'etude des + phenomenes spatiaux) precise: " Dans trois cas, les pilo- + tes reussirent a braquer leurs radars - "Lock on" ("ver- + rouiller") - pendant quelques secondes sur l'objectif, + ce qui, chaque fois, a amene un changement drastique + dans le comportement des ovnis." + L'ovni joue litteralement a cache-cache avec les chas- + seurs. Il plonge vers le sol a tres grande vitesse pour + echapper aux radars de bord et du sol, puis remonte tran- + quillement un peu plus loin, reapparaissant de ce fait + sur les scopes des radars, et declanchant une nouvelle + procedure d'interception. + + + Cet ahurissant manege est observe du sol par un grand + nombre de temoins (dont vingt gendarmes), qui verront + l'ovni et les F-16, mais personne n'entendra, au cours + des soixante-quinze minutes que durera l'affaire, le + fameux bang suspersonique qui aurait du accompagner le + franchissement du mur du son par l'objet. Aucun degat + materiel n'a ete constate a l'aplomb de l'evenement; or, + etant donne la vitesse et la basse altitude de l'objet, + le franchissement du mur du son aurait du susciter le + bris d'un nombre incalculable de carreaux... + + Pour la premiere fois au monde, un journaliste a ete + autorise a voir un document etablissant la preuve d'une + interception d'ovni. J'ai vu sur l'ecran le verrouillage + du radar, l'affichage des parametres de vol de l'ovni, + son hallucinant changement de vitesse. + + Tous les details de cet affaire son consignes dans un + rapport qui vient d'etre communique a la Sobeps. Cette + collaboration entre les forces aeriennes d'un pays et + un regroupement prive est un fait sans precedent qui + doit etre mis a l'actif du serieux et de la competence + des membres de cette association, qui compte en son + sein plusieurs scientifiques de haut niveau, comme les + physiciens Leon Brenig (proffesseur a l'universite + libre de Bruxelles) et Auguste Meessen (professeur a + l'universite catholique de Louvain), ce dernier appar- + tenant au groupement depuis sa creation, il y a dix- + huit ans.

Regardez les travaux du professeur Meessen ..." + + A la Sobeps {3}, qui a enregistre plus de mille temoigna- + ges sur la vague d'ovnis en Belgique, j'avais appris quel- + ques choses de tout a fait passionnant. Dans la nuit du 31 + mars 1990, a 30 Kilometres au sud-est de Bruxelles, trois + temoins que l'on peut considerer comme parfaitement fiables, + Lucien Clerebaut, secretaire general de la Sobeps, Patrick + Ferrym, producteur-realisateur de films, et Jose Fernandez + observe un phenomene lumineux au ras de l'horizon. Cette + lumiere grossit, s'approche. Un engin de forme triangulaire + aux angles arrondis, porteur de quatre phares tres puissants, + dote a sa peripherie de nombreuses lumieres et d'un diametre + apparent equivalant a six fois celui de la lune, passe au- + dessus de leur tete, a une altitude evaluee entre 300 et + 400 metres. M. Ferrym prend quatre cliches de l'objet avec + un film de tres haute sensibilite (1 600 Asa). A titre de + controle, il prend quelques minutes plus tard, avec la + meme ouverture et la meme vitesse, des cliches d'un avion + en vol. + + Au developpement : surprise ! Sur les chiches, les phares + de signalisation de l'avion (volant a beaucoup plus haute + altitude que l'engin) forment trois taches blanches, alors + que les enormes phares de l'ovni sont a peine visibles; la + forme generale de l'objet, pourtant parfaitement visible a + l'oeil nu, a completement disparu. + + Se souvenant qu'un simple rayonnement infrarouge peut empe- + cher la pellicule d'etre impressionnee, le professeur Mees- + sen fait alors realiser une experience dans son laboratoire. + A l'aide d'un simple prisme, il projette directement sur un + film negatif couleurs un spectre (allant du rouge au violet) + en s'arrangeant pour superposer a cette lumiere visible, + dans une partie inferieure du cliche, un rayonnement infra- + rouge. Au developpement, le spectre est parfaitement visible + dans la partie de la pellicule que n'a pas touchee le rayon- + nement infrarouge mais considerablement attenue, sinon tota- + lement annihile, dans la partie irradiee. + + "Si, commente le professeur Meessen, les ovnis sont reel- + lement des objets, et s'ils emettent de l'infrarouge, il + serait tout a fait normal que des temoins photographes + aient des surprises au moment du developpement de leurs + cliches, pouvant aller jusqu'a la disparition totale de + ce qu'ils avaient observe visuellement et photographie, + ce qui expliquerait le nombre tres restreint de cliches + que nous avons pour cette vague d'ovnis et, de facon ge- + nerale, la quadi-impossibilite d'obtenir des photos + d'objets rapproches." + + Le professeur Meessen demeure extremement prudent. En bon + disciple de Claude Bernard, il reste fidele a la demarche + scientifique qui consiste a observer les faits, puis a + proposer differentes hypotheses qu'il soumet a la verifi- + cation experimentale. Pour lui, il est essentiel d'etudier + cet enigmatique dossier. "Deja, au niveau des temoignages, + il y a trop de temoins independants, la plupart du temps + dignes de foi, parlant d'effets physique coherents, trop + de concordance dans les evenements relates pour ne pas + prendre au serieux ce dossier. Si tous ces gens inventent, + c'est une maladie qu'il faut comprendre. Mais il y a les + effets physiques... Le rapport de l'armee de l'air permet + d'apprehender le phenomene de facon rationnelle et scien- + tifique. L'hypothese la plus simple est l'hyopthese extra- + terrestre, mais elle pose d'autres problemes. Nous ne + sommes pas presses de conclure. Nous continuons a travail- + ler." Lorsque je l'ai rencontre, le professeur Messeen + n'avait pas eu la chance de voir le document que m'a fait + visionner le colonel De Brouwer. Le rapport de l'etat- + major de la Force aerienne sur l'interception reussie + du 30 mars permet de comprendre pourquoi l'armee avait + mis a la disposition de la Sobeps des moyens aussi impor- + tants (les deux F-16 de surveillance du territoire, un + bimoteur Hawker pouvant emporter un nombre important de + personnes et tant d'appareils de mesure, dont une enorme + camera infrarouge) lors du fameux week-end qui mobilisa + des dizaines de milliers de personnes. En haut lieu, + l'armee savait que l'ovni etait bien reel, mais elle ne + disait rien. Elle voulait en savoir davantage. + + La presse s'est etonnee de l'insucces de cette chasse + pascale. Tout s'explique maintenant. On ne peut pas dire + que l'ovni n'etait pas au rendez-vous, puisqu'il y eut + des observations au sol; mais, si l'engin est reste a + moins de 200 metres d'altitude, il etait indecelable + par les radars. + + Maintenant, les temoignages se rarefient. Mais les questions + demeurent. Comme elle est deconcertante, cette vague d'ovnis + belges ? D'abord, pourquoi la Belgique ? Pourquoi ces milliers + de temoignages en six mois ? Pourquoi, dans les decennies pre- + cedentes, les temoins faisaient-ils etat d'atterrissages alors + que ces ovnis-la ne se posent pas ? Pourquoi des machines + triangulaires (plus de 90 % des temoignages) ? Autant de + questions pour l'instant sans reponses. + + " Pour nous, la communication de ce rapport de la Force aerien- + ne belge et la confiance qu'elle traduit representent la recom- + pense de dix-huit annees de travail ", conclut Lucien Clerebaut. + + C'est le premier document au monde concernant les ovnis.

Much literature has been + published regarding the incident, and this essay attempts to evaluate the + findings to date, as well as examine the evidence as it exists. + + + INTRODUCTION + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Something happened to Steve Michalak on the Victoria Day long weekend. + His amateur prospecting was cut short by an encounter with a landed UFO. To + this day, no definite conclusions have been reached regarding his experience, + and his story has started to get garbled in publication over the years. + + Was it a hoax? Was it exactly as reported, and true? The final proof is yet + to be found, but there is an astonishing amount of evidence to show that + something occurred on a rock outcropping near a swampy area of the forest + near the resort. Michalak's account has appeared in several books and + journals in various forms. For accuracy and the best detail, the reader is + suggested to obtain Michalak's long-out-of-print book. + + But barring that, any one of several UFO books carries the story in + sufficient quality to understand the case to a good degree, for example, + Lorenzen (1969, 1976), Condon (1969), Story (1980) or Bondarchuk (1979). + This writer will not reiterate the case account for that reason, as this is + a survey of the literature and the research. This article is as accurate as + possible, the result of the re-opened investigation of the case by UFOROM + (Ufology Research of Manitoba), involving some new evidence and research + conducted over the past few years. + + There is still much to be done, and many unanswered questions exist which + could effectively aid in the determination of truth. It is felt that the + Michalak case is one of the most significant on record, and may hold the + key for future research. + + 1 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + PHYSICAL EFFECTS: THE SITE + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + The Condon Report found cause for concern with Michalak's inability to + find the site while in the presence of officials.(1) Michalak went on two + expeditions before finding the site with Mr. G. A. Hart, a personal friend. + Indeed, Menzel and Taves cite this as a prime reason for labelling the case + a hoax.(2) + + However, Michalak has stated that the locating of the site presented + several difficulties. First, when the incident occurred, the trees and bushes + were devoid of leaves. When returned to the area, Michalak said he was + disoriented because the leaves were opened. This is a common complaint of + individuals who hike in wooded areas, and _can_ be regarded as a logical + reason for experiencing difficulty in finding the site. In addition, Michalak + said that for the first expedition, he was transported to the area by + helicopter, and was told to find the site from the anonymous location where + they landed. The second expedition began from a point suggested to be + Michalak's exit from the bush following his encounter. + + Again, it was unsuccessful, due to the leaves' thickening and also Michalak's + unsettled state of mind and body. These explanations by Michalak can be + accepted as reasonable, and are sufficiently sensible so as to eliminate a + negative judgement on the case based _solely_ on the inability to locate the + site with official investigators. Disorientation in the wilderness can + definitely be a problem in the locating of specific sites. + + + There is no question, however, that the site can be easily located when + found by trailblazing. The usual method of finding the site is to head north + from the Falcon Lake townsite and follow a creek around large rock out- + croppings until the bare rockface is seen. The numerous beaver dams and + claims markers in the area can be used as reference points. Also interesting + is that the actual site is within direct view of a forest ranger tower. + Craig reports that the forest ranger on duty at the time of the incident did + not observe either the landing or flight of the UFO's, or the smoke which + resulted from the ignition of grass by the landed UFO.(3) While this would + seem to effectively flaw Michalak's story, one must remember that the indi- + vidual in the tower would not be looking in the direction of the site + constantly. However, the object was landed for at least 45 minutes, and if + it gleamed in the sun or emitted an "intense purple light" as it was said + to have done, it is puzzling as to why the individual in the tower did not + see it. + + Another problem that the Condon Report found was the reported direction + that the object departed. This direction was 255 degrees, and it is + immediately obvious that such a bearing would have the object fly away from + most observers. It was noted, however, that the bearing would have the object + pass within a mile of the local golf course.(4) No objects were seen by the + golfers, though, again, if the speed of the UFO was great, this is not + necessarily unusual. Condon also noted that the northward-opening gap in the + trees was inconsistent with the 255 degree bearing. However, Michalak clearly + stated that the object rose vertically before departing, so this argument is + not valid. + + Barrie Thompson, a CAPRO investigator, was one of the first to accompany + Michalak to the site. He reported that location of the site was not that + difficult, and that the early expeditions to the site were led astray by + basic errors. + + Interestingly, both Thompson(5) and Michalak(6) reported a large amount of + destroyed vegetation around the site. Thompson even described circular + lesions on many leaves in the area (the leaves, he says, were all taken by + the government before any civilian analysis could be done). + + 4 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + + THE RADIATION + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Much was made of the finding of radioactive debris at the site. This fact + alone suggested to many people that Michalak was suffering from radiation + poisoning. + + The radiation detected was from soil samples brought back to Winnipeg by + Michalak and an associate, after they had finally located the site. They had + placed Michalak's torn shirt and tape measure in plastic bags, and put these + together with the soil samples in the same knapsack. When the items were + given to officials for examination, the shirt and tape measure were naturally + found to be radioactive as well. + + Michalak mentions that Stewart Hunt of the Department of Health and + Welfare informed him that the soil anaysis "showed radiation".(8) When Hunt + went to the site and checked for radiation, he found "One small area... + contaminated...across the crown at the rock. There was a smear of contami- + nation about 0.5 x 8.0 inches on one side of the crack. There was also some + lichen and ground vegetation contaminated just beyond the smear. The whole + contaminated area was no larger that 100 square inches."(9) + + + The origin of this radiation is in some doubt. Whatever its cause, it was + of sufficient quantity for the Radiation Protection Division to consider + "restricting entry to the forest area."(10) Beyond the areas located by Hunt, + there was no radiation above the normal background. But the soil analysis + showed a "significant" level of radium 226, for which there was no explana- + tion.(11) It was suggested that the radium had come from a luminous watch + dial, the dial having been scraped onto the site. However, no evidence could + be found to support this contention.(12) + + Analyses performed by the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment showed + that the radioactivity in the samples was that of "natural uranium ore". This + included counts of both alpha and gamma particles. One 190 KeV photopeak was + originally though to be anomalous, and due to enrichment of uranium 235. + While this would seem to indicate something other than natural uranium, the + isotopes were found to actually be present within the expected normal + ratios.(13) + + To check further on the soil radiation, in June of 1979, a re-analysis was + carried out with a lithium-drifted germanium detector at the University of + Manitoba. The results showed that all the energies detected could be + adequately explained by the decay of natural uranium.(14) Confusion may have + resulted from the overlooking of the fact that U238 decays eventually into + radon, a gas. Radon, of course, decays further into other elements, but the + observed energies indicated a lower abundance than what would be expected. + The reason for this, though simple, may not have been immediately obvious: + radon is a gas, and will dissipate. Therefore, abundances of elements later + in the decay chain will be much less than if the previous elements were + solids. + + Identification of the 190 KeV peak as "abnormally high" may have been an + oversight. The theory of radium 226 was related to this peak. Assigning + elements to each of the peaks is a trying job, and often, two elements will + give the same peak, often at the same intensity. This process is much like a + jigsaw puzzle, and is somewhat open to interpretation, as it depends on + variables such as the resolution, the efficiency and the capability of the + analyser used. + + However, while the 190 KeV photopeak is not necessarily unusual, there are + two very strong x-rays which are hard to identify. These appear at about 80 + and 84 KeV. They may be caused by some radionuclide decay in the U238 chain + (possibly by the emitted alpha particle affecting an electron). This, too, + depends on abundance and the specific energies involved. Despite this, there + is little evidence to indicate that the site was "seeded" with radium from + an old watch dial. The observed radioactivity can be considered as due to + natural uranium decay. + + This, of course, raises the question of why the Department of Health and + Welfare would consider closing off the area from such radioactivity. The + early tests by individuals at the University of Manitoba are trying to be + located. These would be helpful, since it is possible that at that time (in + 1967), there may have been different peaks detected from elements with short + half-lives. It will be noted, though, that the Whiteshell results, done in + 1968, showed nothing other than the 1979 run, so this may suggest that the + early analysis yielded the same results. + + Again, however, there exists disagreement. A CAPRO investigator claims + that Hunt's check of the site showed a much higher level of radiation than + was reported.(15) It was suggested that the bulk of the radioactive material + was in a rock fissure across the site, this being either missed or ignored + by official investigators. This is most relevant to a review of the metal + analysis. + + 7 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + THE METAL + ~~~~~~~~~ + The metal is quite curious. A year after his encounter, Michalak returned + to the landing site with an associate. With a geiger counter, they found two + "W-shaped" silver bars, four and a half inches in length, and several other + smaller chunks of the same material. All this was found two inches under some + lichen in a crack in the rock, over which the UFO was said to hover. Analysis + showed that the silver was of "high purity", and contained low amounts of + copper and cadmium. Craig commented that the composition was "similar to that + found in commercially available sterling silver or sheet silver."(16) Cannon + contradicted this, saying the silver concentration was "much higher than + would normally be found in native silver or commercially produced silver such + as sterling or coinage."(17) The reported percentage of copper, however, at + 1% or 2%, is agreeable with that of commercial silver, though is indeed less + than many specimens. + + The metal showed signs of heating and bending, and it was speculated that + it was "molded" into its present shape. Support for the heating theory also + comes from the fine quartz crystals which were found to be imbedded in the + outer layer of the silver. The sand was similar to typical foundry sand, + covering all of one bar and half of the other. But the _very_ odd thing + about the silver bars was their radioactivity. The bars were also covered + with small crystals of a uranium silicate mineral and pitchblende, as well as + feldspar and hematite. These particles are held to the silver by a sticky + "moist" substance, and could be removed by washing with ethanol and brushing + with a soft camel hair brush.(18) + + Again, the two theories of Ra226 and U238 contrasted each other. But the + same arguments apply. Since radium 226 is a by-product of U238 decay, it is + even possible that both theories are correct, though traceable to U238. + + The problem, however, is not the actual radioactive mechanism on the + silver, but why it was missed earlier by other individuals. The Department + of Health and Welfare went to the site on more than one occasion, and checked + the site thoroughly. Why was the silver not located? + + 9 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + The most noted elements of the incident are the many severe physiological + effects Mickalak experienced. When the object took off, Michalak was burned + by a blast of heat or heated gas which came from a grill-like opening in + front of him. His shirt and undershirt caught fire, burning his upper chest. + He tore off these items and stamped them out, not wanting to cause a forest + fire. Walking back to where the object had been, he felt nauseated, and had + a strong headache. He broke out in a cold sweat, and began vomiting. Red + marks began to appear on his chest and abdomen, burning and irritating. He + logically set out for Falcon Lake in search of medical aid, wearing no shirt + or jacket. + + He eventually made it back to Winnipeg, where he was examined at the + Misericordia Hospital. He did not tell the examining physician what had + happened, only that he had been burned by "exhaust coming out of an + aeroplane". This was on May 20th. + + On the 22nd, Michalak's family physician examined him, and said that the + first-degree burns on his abdomen were not very serious. He prescribed 292's + for the pain and sea-sickness tablets for the nausea. Michalak went to a + radiologist on the 23rd, who found no evidence of radiation trauma. A + whole-body count taken a week later at the Whiteshell Nuclear Research + Establishment also showed no radiation above normal background. The burns on + Michalak's abdomen were diagnosed as thermal in origin. The curious geometric + pattern of the burns led some skeptics to speculate that Michalak had fallen + onto a "hot barbeque grill".(19) + + Over the next few days, Michalak reported that he lost 22 pounds from his + normal weight of 180. However, his physician could not verify this weight + loss, since he had not seen him for over a year. Yet, judging from the fact + that Michalak reported an inability to hold food down, in one week, his + weight loss could have been considerable. + + Also reported was a drop of his blood lymphocyte count from 25 to 16 + percent, returning to normal after a period of four weeks. These two counts + were six days apart, but were associated with normal platelet counts on both + occasions. This contributes to the argument against the theory of radiation + exposure. A CAPRO investigator claims that the actual drop was from 25 to 6 + percent, although this is not supported by medical evidence.(20) + + There is some evidence to indicate that the red "welts" or burns went + through periods of fading and recurrence, a most unusual medical situation. + Because of the suggestion of radiation at the site, it was quickly suggested + that the welts were radiation burns. This, however, is quite incorrect. + + Radiation was also blamed for the "awful stench" which seemed to "come + from within" Michalak's body. It was suggested that a quick dose of gamma + rays may have deteriorated the food he had just eaten, giving him a vile odor + and causing him to vomit "green bile".(21) Individuals consulted on this, + however, say that such a burst of gammas would have deteriorated _Michalak_, + not just his digested food. + + Another physiological effect was the "insect bites" rash which appeared + on Michalak's upper torso. Craig reported that the rash was "the result of + insect bites and was not connected with the alleged UFO experience."(22) + An RCAF Corporal, Davis, reported that he had been bitten by black flies + when he was with Michalak searching for the site. Medical reports show that + Michalak had "skin infections", "having hive-like areas with impetiginous + centers". Later he had "generalized urticaria" (hives) and felt weak, dizzy + and nauseated on several occasions. Several times, he was examined for + "numbness" and swelling of the joints. + + A hematologist's report showed that Michalak's blood had "no abnormal + physical findings", but had "some atypical lymphoid cells in the marrow plus + a moderate increase in the number of plasma cells." This is in some + contradiction to several sources (e.g. Naud, 1978) which claim that there + were "impurities" in Michalak's blood. It is obvious that the reported + irregularities in his blood would not in themselves be the cause for his + condition. + + The swelling of his body, however, strongly suggests an allergic reaction + of some sort. After an apparent reoccurrence of his swelling at work on Sept. + 21, 1967, Michalak reported that doctors diagnosed his affliction as "the + result of some allergy". The events leading up to this diagnosis had Michalak + feel "a burning sensation" around his neck and chest. Then, there was a + "burning" in his throat and his body "turned violet". His hands swelled "like + a balloon", his vision failed and he lapsed into unconciousness.(23) + + Later, he described how sometimes his wrists swelled so much that they + filled his shirt cuffs.(24) What sort of allergy did Michalak have? + + 12 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + THE MAYO CLINIC + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + In August of 1968, Michalak went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, + Minnesota. The purpose of his visit was to undergo tests to determine exactly + what was ailing him, as the doctors in Winnipeg appeared to be unhelpful. It + is worthy of note that Michalak paid for the Mayo tests entirely on his own, + as Medicare would not cover such a trip. He went and stayed at a hotel near + the hospital, walking across each day and entering as an outpatient. He + reported that he was given a thorough physical and psychological examination + by various doctors, then sent home. + + But, the problems began. Michalak has bills from the Clinic made out to + "Mr. S. Michalak", and also his registration card. He waited for several + weeks, but received no word on his results. The CAPRO investigators appealed + to APRO for help, and a medical consultant sent a letter to the Mayo Clinic, + asking for the medical reports. In reply, he was sent the now-famous "letter + of denial", which bluntly said that Michalak had _never been registered_ + there, and that they didn't "know anything about him."(25) + + This immediately spurred the shouts of "cover-up!" from individuals who + learned of the letter, and rightly so, as this appeared to be a deliberate + attempt to mislead the investigation. Was this a cover-up, or just a matter + of incompetence? It perhaps was neither. + + Medical ethics is a very serious concern, and few realize the "red tape" + which has been set up for both the protection of the doctor and the patient. + There is a very great danger in releasing confidential files to unauthorized + personnel (and this applies, obviously, to other fields as well, including + ufology). Another letter to the Mayo Clinic was sent, this time accompanied + by a release form signed by Michalak. + + The reports came immediately. Michalak had been found to be in good health + but with neurodematitis and simple syncope (fainting spells due to sudden + cerebral blood pressure losses).(26) The syncopes were suggested as having + to do with hyperventilation or impaired cardiac output. This is interesting, + as Michalak has indeed had heart problems within the past few years. + + The psychiatric report showed that despite the usual generalizations + normally assigned to individuals giving a detailed UFO encounter story, + there was no other evidence of delusions, hallucinations or other emotional + disorders. It seems that there was nothing wrong with Michalak. He had no + ailment _directly_ related to an encounter with a UFO. + + 14 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + THE INVESTIGATIONS + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Michalak called the Winnipeg Tribune late Saturday afternoon of the + holiday long weekend. It was not surprising that no one would help him then. + But, the next evening (May 21), Heather Chisvin, a Tribune reporter, + interviewed Michalak for the first time. She was the first one to talk to him + about the experience, and her article must be considered as the first account + uninfluenced by later documentation.(27) + + The first investigator on the scene, however, was Barrie Thompson, who had + read the account in the newspaper, and immediately contacted Michalak. + Thompson's investigation, on behalf of APRO, began the series of civilian UFO + investigations. Michalak notes that "after hearing my story, he stated his + belief that the craft was not an earthly creation." Michalak praised Thompson + on several occasions, as "he was the first person who took my story + seriously."(28) + + Soon, the Michlak household was in turmoil. Calls came in at all hours of + the day or night, people dropped in at any time, and letters poured in. + + The CAPRO investigations included taking Michalak to get a body radiation + count, and encouraging him to take other tests. One misleading bit of + information said that Michalak had been to a clinical hypnotist and that he + had been hypnotically regressed. While both statements are true, the clinical + hypnotist had in fact only interviewed Michalak and not put him under. A tape + of Michalak's hypnosis is in existance, however, but the session was + conducted, apparently, by an amateur, who was a reporter for the Winnipeg + Free Press at the time. + + The RCAF investigations were under the direction of Sqd. Ld. P. Bissky, + who came to the conclusion that the case was a hoax.(29) He recently remarked + that the RCAF conclusions were all available in Ottawa for perusal. Indeed, + some documents are contained in the DND files, and have been obtained by + several ufologists. A rather carefully-worded statement is in the National + Research Council's Non-Meteoric Sightings File, DND 222, saying, "Neither + the DND, nor the RCMP investigation teams were able to provide evidence which + could dispute Mr. Michalak's story."(30) + + RCMP analysis by its forensic lab were "unable to reach any conclusion as + to what may have caused the burn damage" to Michalak's clothing.(31) + + A theory came out, suggesting that the radiation at the site might have + been caused by radium paint, possibly from someone scraping a watch dial + around the site.(32) This is interesting. Was this just a candid comment, or + did it suggest that there was a truly abnormal level of Ra226 at the site at + the time? If so, why was it not detected in recent soil analysis? + + 16 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + + THE GOVERNMENT COVERS UP? + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Apart from the Mayo Clinic "cover-up", the Canadian Government seemed to + refuse access to information on the incident in 1967. On June 29th, 1967, it + was reported that Mr. Ed Schreyer, then an MP, asked about UFO investigations + in the Commons.(33) The Speaker of the House "cut off the subject without + government reply." On November 6th, 1967, Defence Minister, Leo Cadieux, + stated that "it is not the intention of the Department of National Defence to + make public the report of the alleged sighting."(34) This was in response to + requests by several cabinet members to obtain information on the incident. On + 11 Nov., 1967, it was reported that Mr. Schreyer formally placed a written + question on the Commons order paper seeking information on UFO's.(35) + + The closed-mouth attitude of the government was not ignored by the press, + which prompted several comments about it. About the case, one editor noted, + "The attempt to keep it concealed can have only one effect - it will give the + UFO legend another boost."(36) Of course, he was precisely correct. On 14 + October, 1968, House Leader Donald MacDonald again refused an MP, this time + Mr. Barry Mather, access to reports on the Michalak case.(37) However, on + 6 Feb., 1969, Mather was given permission by a member of the Privy Council to + examine their file on UFO's "from which a few pages have simply been + removed." It was reported that outright release of the file "would not be in + the public interest," and create a dangerous precedent that would not + contribute to the good administration of the country's business."(38) + + Bondarchuk (1979) reports that "portions of the complete government report + are available for public scrutiny" at the NRC in Ottawa. However, "noticeably + missing are the RCMP study of the burned items, as well as the government's + final conclusion, if indeed one exists."(39) + + 17 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Mention of the psychological aspects of the Michalak case must be made. + Why, for example, did Michalak call a newspaper office for assistance? This + one piece of evidence alone has served to convince some individuals that the + case was a hoax and that Michalak was only looking for publicity. + + By the time Michalak made it back to his motel, he was exhausted. In his + own words: + + "I did not go inside the motel for fear of contaminating people around me + ...I felt detached from the rest of the world...The pain was unbearable + ...the odour seemed to come from within me, and I could not escape it... + I was afraid that i had ruined my health and visualized the resulting hell + should I have become disabled...my mind centered on the possible + consequences... + + "...there had to be some way of getting medical attention...I thought of + the press. Things that happened to me were definitely news, if nothing + else...I did not want to alarm my wife, or cause a panic in the family. + I phoned her as a last resort, telling her that I had been in an accident + ..."(40) + + Michalak felt that it was his "duty" to report the incident, and was + initially unafraid of ridicule. However, since then, he and his family have + become somewhat defensive about the incident, and get irritated to hear of + skeptical accounts in print. Indeed, it is this writer's personal impression + that Michalak is a very sincere individual. Also, psychiatrists could not + find any evidence of emotional or mental illness in the man. + + 19 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + THE HOAX + ~~~~~~~~ + Would Michalak have gone to so much trouble to perpetrate a hoax? There is + no question that he bcame seriously ill, and even today displays some + effects. If we can assume that Michalak burned himself while concocting his + hoax, would he have then repeatedly pursued medical assistance and go to the + Mayo Clinic to make it look good? + + One physics professor at the University of Manitoba, now deceased, + believed that Michalak was experimenting with toy rockets, which exploded due + to mishandling. He also suggested that he was amateurishly trying to hit two + chunks of uranium together to make a homemade bomb. The grid-like pattern on + his body was caused by the grill he was using as a support. This totally + unfounded theory ignored most of the known facts of the case. + + An RCAF spokesman is convinced that Michalak was drunk and had fallen on + a barbeque grill (one immediate objection to this is that such an act would + give exactly the _reverse_ impression of burns actually found on Michalak's + body.) + + Menzel's impression has already been related, claiming the case to be a + hoax because Michalak could not find the site when with the Condon + investigators. + + Ray Craig, the Condon Committee's investigator, concluded that: + "If (Michalak's) reported experience were physically real, it would show the + existence of alien flying vehicles in our environment."(41) + + He noted "inconsistencies and incongruities", and said that even with some + of the other evidence associated with the case, he would have to stick to his + "initial conclusion", namely that "this case does not offer probative + information regarding inconventional(sic) craft."(42) + + Despite this apparently negative conclusion, the index of the report lists + the case as an _unexplained sighting_. + + Craig found reason to question that the metal samples found by Michalak + and Hart would have been missed by early investigators at the site. Stewart + Hunt of the Department of Health and Welfare described his examination of the + area as "as thorough survey", using three different radiation counters. It is + definitely odd that the metal chunks were not found until a visit to the site + a year later. Thompson remarked that the samples were deeply buried inside + the crack in the rock, and that some effort was expended in getting them out. + He also remarked that most of the radiation detected was inside the + fissure.(43) + + Bondarchuk mentions that a close scrutiny of early soil samples showed + that small silver particles were present, citing this as a reason to + eliminate the theory that someone "planted" the silver bars.(44) However, + this is not conclusive as native silver particles occur naturally in the area + in small amounts, and their presence in the soil samples does not eliminate + the possibility of "planting". + + Cannon also mentions this information, and that radium 226 was present in + both the soil and metal covering. This apparently was considered as a prime + reason to negate the watch dial theory.(45) Attempts to locate the CAPRO + analyses have not been successful. + + There is no doubt, though, that the metal samples are very suspicious. + They even had an obvious "seam" which tended to suggest fabrication, as if + someone moulded the silver in a definite shape. Did Michalak produce these + himself? Or, did someone _else_ produce them, and plant them at the site? + If so, why? Even without the metal samples, the case was a significant one, + needing no support. In fact, the samples tend only to confuse the case. But + an amateur UFO "buff" would probably not have realized this, and thought only + that the samples would enhance the case. Since the case attracted many such + individuals, it would be difficult to determine whom this might have been. + + Another theory would involve the "cover-up" scenario, and have the + government fabricate the samples themselves. However, evidence for this idea + would be difficult to obtain and essentially impossible to prove. If true, + this would raise the question of why the government would deliberately + enhance the case and then create an aura of secrecy, lending themselves to + suspicion. + + Other hoax theories can be postulated, but all need the necessary proof, + including a motive for their devices. + + 22 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + CONCLUSIONS + ~~~~~~~~~~~ + There is no question that something very unusual occurred on May 20th, + 1967, north of Falcon Lake. There is no question that Stephen Michalak came + back from his prospecting trip badly burned and seriously ill, claiming that + he had encountered a strange craft. But is the account true? + + Can this case be effectively proved beyond a shadow of a doubt? The + evidence includes the following: + + 1. an eyewitness account of a vehicle behaving in ways not attributable + to conventional craft. + 2. physiological damage to the witness, the mechanism of which is not + immediately obviuos. + 3. a visible "landing site", consisting of a ring of loose soil,containing + + a bare patch of rock. + + Does this prove that an alien craft landed near Falcon Lake? Unfortunately + not. Major problems include the metal samples found at the site and the + radium detected (was it in evidence in different samples?). Clearly, the + investigations at the time were varied but at the same time were confused, + abd several bits of information are lacking. All of the CAPRO investigators + agreed that Michalak was a very sincere individual, and detected no effort + on his part to fabricate the account. This writer found this to be true from + his own interviews with Michalak, and found no reason to doubt his veracity. + + If we assume that Michalak's story is truthful (and we have no reason + immediately obvious to suppose otherwise), then we have a solid report of a + landed UFO, complete with physical and physiological effects. What could it + have been? + + Keel (1975) suggested that Michalak was a victim of a "game" played by + ultraterrestrials, wanting to confuse him in his attempt to locate the + site.(46) + + Bondarchuk (1979), a proponent of the ETH, describes his analysis by + saying that Michalak was burned by "an intelligently guided craft of + unconventional structure and of unknown origin." He, too, finds evidence of + government intervention in the case. He also observes that the publication of + Michalak's book, which to some suggests a hoaxer's methods, was financially + not a successful venture, and the experience proved to be more costly to + Michalak than a boon.(47) + + This writer is hesitant to give a final evaluation to the case. Personal + interviews with the Michalak's have shown them to be sincere people, and not + prone to irrational acts. They are intelligent, level-headed individuals, and + well-read on many subjects. Their annoyance at their notoriety is apparent, + and their defensiveness at further proddings show that they have been + subjected to severe ridicule and criticism since the incident first hit the + media in 1967. + + Investigations are continuing. If officials were convinced Michalak was a + hoaxer, why was he not prosecuted for public mischief? Was there no definite + evidence towards this end? It certainly would have been an interesting court + case, arguing about the existance of UFO's. I think Michalak would have won. + + 24 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + EPILOGUE + ~~~~~~~~ + Today, over thirteen years after his experience, Michalak remains + convinced he had encountered something he wasn't supposed to see. His + convictions are firmly entrenched. He has read several books about UFO's + since 1967, and is still frustrated by not knowing what happened to him. + He has been to Carmen, Manitoba, where "Charlie Redstar" was a nightly + spectre over that town for many months, and heard stories from witnesses of + their own experiences. + + In this writer's experience with UFO investigation, he has found that many + UFO witnesses see more than one in a lifetime. That is, if a person sees one + UFO, he or she will probably see another at a later time in their life. This + is the "repeater" phenomenon which is considered to be an indication of + insincerity in witnesses by several ufologists. This author is in + disagreement with that belief, as the UFO phenomenon suggests a close link + with the individual witness' psyche, possibly involving an "awareness + threshold." While this may not be empirically proven or testable, + theoretical ufology can only draw on apparent relationships, and there exists + some evidence to indicate an association between a witness and the + "perceived" UFO. + + In this regard, it is interesting to note that Michalak has reported + another UFO sighting. It occurred in northwestern Ontario several years ago, + while standing near a lake. He said that he observed "the same thing" as he + had seen at Falcon Lake, though at a much greater distance from him, flying + through the sky. + + Are "they" keeping an eye on him? Or is Michalak simply one of those + people who is now encouraged to look skyward for unusual things? + + The mystery continues. + + 26 + -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- + + FOOTNOTES AND REFERENCES + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + (1) Gillmor, Daniel S., ed. _Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying + Objects_.

Bob Oschler and Bruce Maccabee have pushed +this case, to the dismay of many in the UFO research arena. +Richard Hall and especially the Fund for UFO Research have +distanced themselves from this case. For a VERY GOOD REASON.... + +What the FOX broadcast did not show were the documents that +accompanied the tape. There is an excellent reason for that also. +That document follows this note. And remember----- UFO Magazine +and ParaNet declared this a hoax -- in 1990. + +Don Ecker +UFO Magazine + + + +Canadian and American Security Agencies are engaged in a +conspiracy of silence, to withhold from the world the alien +vessel seized in the swamps of Corkery Road, Carp, in 1989. + +UFO sightings in the Ontario region had intensified in the +1980's, specifically, around nuclear power generating stations. +On Nov. 4, 1989 at 20:00 hrs Canadian Defense Dept. radars picked +up a globe shaped object travelling at phenomenal speed over +Carp, Ontario. The UFO abruptly stopped, and dropped like a +stone. + +Canadian and American Security Agencies were immediately notified +of the landing. Monitoring satellites traced the movements of +the aliens to a triangular area. (see aerial map) off Almonte +and Corkery Roads. + +The ship had landed in deep swamp near Corkery Road. Two AH-64 +Apaches and a UH-60 Blackhawk headed for the area the following +night. The helicopters carried full weapon loads. They were +part of a covert American unit that specialized in the recovery +of alien craft. + +Flying low over Ontario pine trees the Apache attack choppers +soon spotted a glowing, blue, 20 metre in diameter sphere. As +targeting lasers locked-on, both gunships unleashed their full +weapon loads of 8 missiles each. All 16 were exploded in +proximity bursts 10 metres downwind from the ship. + +The missiles were carrying VEXXON, a deadly neuroactive gas which +kills on contact. Exposed to air the gas breaks down quickly +into inert components. Immediately after having completed their +mission the gunships turned around, and headed back across the +border. + +Now the Blackhawk landed, as men exploded from its open doors. +In seconds the six man strike team had entered the UFO through a +7 metre hatchless, oval portal. No resistance was encountered. +At the controls, 3 dead crewman were found. + +With the ship captured, the US Airforce, Pentagon, and Office of +Naval Intelligence were notified. Through the night a special +team of technicians had shut-down and disassembled the sphere. +Early the next morning Nov. 6, 1989 construction equipment and +trucks were brought into the swamp. The UFO parts were +transported to a secret facility in Kanata, Ontario. + +As a cover story the locals were informed that a road was being +built through the swamp. No smokescreen was needed for the +military activity as Canadian forces regularly train in the Carp +region. Officially nothing unusual was reported in the area. +Although someone anonymously turned in a 35mm roll of film. It +was received by the National Research Council of Canada, in +Ottawa. The film contained several clear shots of an entity +holding a light. (see photo) At this time the photographer is +still unidentified. + +The humanoids were packed in ice and sent to an isolation chamber +at the Univ. of Ottawa. CIA physiologists performed the +autopsies. The reptilian, fetus-headed beings, were listed as +CLASS 1 NTE's. (Non Terrestrial Entities) Like others recovered +in previous operations, they were muscular, grey-white skinned, +humanoids. + +The ship was partially reassembled at the underground facility in +Kanata. Unlike previous recoveries this one is pure military. +Built as a "Starfighter" it is heavily armed and armored. In +design no rivets, bolts, or welds were used in fastening, yet +when reconstructed there are no seams. The UFO itself is made up +of a matrixed dielectric magnesium alloy. It is driven by pulsed +electromagnetic fields generated by a cold fusion reactor. All +offensive capabilities utilize independently targeting electronic +beam weapons. In the cargo hold were found ordnance racks +containing fifty Soviet nuclear warheads. Their purpose was +revealed by advanced tactical/combat computers located in the +flight deck. + +Threatened by recent East-West relations, and the revolutionary +movements within itself, Red China is preparing for the final +ideological war. The aliens have agreed to defend China from the +free world's combined military and nuclear forces. + +At this time China is arming the Middle East with their own +nuclear arsenals, in order that they can successfully take on +Israel. Unifying the Arabs under one Chinese command was simple, +especially with Israel's recent "iron fist" attitude toward +occupied territories. + +The Soviet warheads found in the UFO were destined for Syria. +CIA operatives in the Middle East have noticed huge movements of +Chinese "technicians" and "advisors". China is also supplying +the Arabs with bacteriological agents, Migs, Hind gunships, +tanks, and missile launchers. + +The use of "Soviet" instead of "Chinese" nukes is part of a +disinformation campaign to break up East-West relations after the +annihilation of Israel. The Warheads were hijacked from Soviet +subs in the Dragon's Triangle. A section of alien controlled +Pacific once frequented by Russian subs. After losing some 900 +high yield warheads and 13 vessels, commanders were ordered to +steer clear of the area. + +The most important alien-tech. find were the 2 millimeter, +spheroid, brain implants. Surgically inserted through the nasal +orifice the individual can be fully monitored and controlled. +The CIA and Canadian Govt have actively supported mind-slave +experiments for years. Currently the Univ. of Ottawa is involved +in ELF wave mind control programs. A continuation of the CIA +psychological warfare project known as MKULTRA, started at the +Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal. + +Using ELF signals transmitted at the same wavelength the human +brain uses, the researchers could subliminally control the test +subject. The alien implants utilize the same principles except +that the whole unit is subminiaturized and contained in the +brain. Fortunately the implants can be detected by magnetic +resolution scanning technology. All individuals implanted by the +aliens are classified as ZOMBIES. + +The ZOMBIES have been programmed to help overthrow Mankind in the +near future. When China finishes with Israel it will invade +Europe. At the same time Chinese spacebased bacteriological +weapons will be launched at the Arctic. The winds will carry the +diseases into Russia and North America. In days 100's of +millions will be dead, survivors will have to deal with Chinese, +aliens, and the ZOMBIES. + +The aliens want all out war so that human resistance would be +minimal, when they invade. They tried this same tactic once +before with Nazi Germany. Most of the scientific advances we +have today came from German science which was based on alien +technology. Had Hitler won the war, the earth would have become +a concentration camp.In order to depopulate the continents for +the aliens. + +Data aboard the sphere explained why the aliens are so +comfortable on our world. They preceded man on the evolutionary +scale by millions of years; created with the dinosaurs. Some +675 million years ago an interdimensional war destroyed most of +their civilization, and forced them to leave the earth. Now they have +chosen to reclaim what was once theirs. + +The alien forces with their Chinese and Arab allies will attack +within the next 5 years. Waiting longer than that would make it +impossible even for the aliens to reverse the ecological damage +inflicted on the Earth by Man. +***************************************************************** + +-EOF- + +Don Ecker +UFO Magazine + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

No, this +is not another Mexico City misidentification of the planet Venus but, rather, +what appears to be the "real thing" as both the video and the Polaroid photo +have been analized and proclaimed to be genuine by not only MUFON's Jeff Sainio +, but optical physicist, Dr. Bruce Maccabee as well. As many of you know, since +1987, Gulf Breeze, Florida, has been nick-named the unofficial UFO capital of +the world due to the extraordinary number of sightings that have been +witnessed and recorded th ere. The most famous photos were those taken by Ed +Walters and published in the book detailing his experiences, The Gulf Breeze +Sightings, in 1990. Until July of 1992, skywatchers had documented an average +of 7 to 8 sightings a month... after that, the elusive UFO, affectionately +named "Bubba," apparently disappeared for his 30,000 light-year check-up. But +then toward the end of November, a few phone calls were received saying that +"Bubba" was back. These reports turned out to be true, but the UFO's visits +have become much less frequent. I've been told if the Gulf Breeze Research +Team is lucky, now they'll have a sighting about once every two weeks, so the +appearance of a structured craft during the daylight hours is a truly +significant development. + + In a telephone interview with Bland Pugh, MUFON investigator and +editor of the Florida MUFON News ( and creator of one of the finest red- +beans-and-rice recipes in the Northern Hemisphere), the following facts were +reported: On March 25, a Mr. Martin "Allen" looked up and saw something coming +out of the northwest at a tremendous rate of speed. He first thought it must +be some type of aircraft he'd never seen before. Later, the object reappeared +and again moved toward him from the same direction and toward the southeast. +The next day, "Allen" set up his video camera in hopes of recording the object +and that's exactly what it did! Returning from having gotten an apple inside +his house, he was stunned to see the sa me UFO coming at himfrom the southeast. +The camera recorded the whole sequence as the UFO sped across the screen. In an +article by Bland appearing in the June 9th issue of The Islander,"Allen" said, +"I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw that round, silver thing racing +across the sky. But, when it shot overhead a second time, I knew it wasn't a +normal airplane. By God, I knew it was that UFO that I read about in the +newspaper! It was round and kind of crown-shaped with a lower level and a dark +red circle in the bottom center." It was at that point that Bland decided to +enlist the aid of another MUFON investigator, Gary Watson, well known for his +investigation of the Ed Walters case. That decision proved to be a timely one +as less than a week later, on March 31, Bland said he received another call +from "Allen." This time he said he had videoed the same UFO hovering out over +the Gulf of Mexico from his home on Santa Rosa Island. After being recorded +for about 45 seconds, the UFO made an extraordinary exit to the southeast. +Allen exclaimed, "It was fast, real fast! I videotaped it! I couldn"t believe +this was happening and that it was happening in broad daylight!" Bland told me +that when he saw the tape that night, he couldn't believe it either but, there +it was... hovering with the sun reflecting off of it and the clouds moving +behind it, sat the UFO. The object was silver in color and reflected the light +of the sun. It seemed that "Bubba" had definitely returned and, this time, +without a hint of shyness. + + On April 2, Bland received yet another call from "Allen" saying that +at 10:30 that morning, because the batteries on his video camera weren't +charged, he'd photographed the UFO with his Polaroid camera! This time the +object had been hovering over the beach to the south of his home. Charles +Flannigan, Florida State Director for MUFON, was now also called into the +investigation, and the decision was made to forward the videos and Polaroid +photo to Jeff Sainio, Photo Analyst and Manager of Imaging Research and +Development at the Quad/Tech division of Quad/Graphics in Wisconsin. Dr. Bruce +Maccabee, optical physicist for the U.S. Naval defense lab in Maryland, w as +also contacted and both Sainio and Maccabee were given the original of the +Polaroid photo for analysis. After two weeks of intensive tests and several +calls for additional information, such as weather reports and atmospheric +conditions, Jeff Sainio submitted his findings and returned the videos and +photo to the investigative team. The results: The UFO is genuine and not a +hoax. According to Sainio, in the first video, the UFO's speed in relation to +its size eliminates all aircraft as a cause, since known airplanes can't move +this fast. A 100-foot long fighter jet would need to move 300 feet, 3 times its +own length, in 1/30 second, or 9,000 feet per second or about 6,000 mph. below +clouds at 7, 000 feet. To stay below the sound barrier, a plane length of 10 +feet would be required. Of the second video, where the UFO is seen hovering +motionless over the Gulf and then flashes off, Sainio says in The Islander, +"Initial calculations show the UFO accelerated, then slowed 20% and then +surpassed 2,000 mph, all in under l/lOth of a second!" Dr. Maccabee's +assessment of the March 24 video states, "A frame -by- frame analysis shows +that the object moved so fast it traveled several times its own length in each +frame, making rectangular images on the screen. It only took about one sec ond +to cross the nearly 30ø field of view of the camera. Unfortunately, the actual +speed cannot be determined because the distances are not known, but estimates +range from several hundred to several thousand mph corresponding to distance +estimates of 1, 000 to 10,000 feet." + + + Concerning the second tape, Dr. Maccabee stated, "The video +shows a compact image with a bright area which may be the sun glint from a +metal surface. As he tracked the object, it suddenly disappeared from his +viewfinder. When viewing the video at normal playback speed, the object +appears to streak to the right, off the screen and almost too fast to see. +Frame analysis shows that the object accelerated at a tremendous rate. The +actual acceleration cannot be calculated because, again, the distance is not +known. However, if the assumed distances are only 1,000 feet, then the +videotape shows that it accelerated at about 500g's (500 times the acceleration +of gravity which is about 100 times greater than a jet) and reached a speed +twice t hat of sound before it passed out of view of the camera. Yet there was +no sound! At an assumed 1,000 ft. distance, the size of the object was a bit +less than 10 feet. For other assumed distances, the size, acceleration and +departing speed are proportional to the distance." Regarding the photo taken +on April 2, Dr. Maccabee said, "This photo shows a circular object to the south +at an angular of 60ø to 79ø. The sun in the east made a shiny glint at the left +side. In the perspective view from below, the object appears like a layer cake +with the upper layer having a larger diameter than the lower layer. The image +is too small and at the wrong angle to reveal any windows in the side of either +layer. There is a slight hint of a protuberance at the top, but this might be +a photographic artifact." As if all of this photographic evidence wasn't +enough, there's more! On Friday, April 21, Bland reported he received a color +slide and a map from a gentleman named Thomas "Bryant," a visiting elected +official from Alabama. The map pointed to a location called the Sugar Bowl in +the Big Sabine area, at the east e nd of Pensacola Beach. The slide showed a +beach scene of sand dunes, sea oats and shrub bushes but, most importantly, +what appears to be the same UFO that Martin "Allen" had photographed. The map +contained a hand written note dated April 2, and 2:30 pm as the time of day. +Mr. Thomas "Bryant" who had withheld his name for political reasons, said, "At +first I told myself that what I saw had to be something from the military, but +I know of nothing that can suddenly appear, hover and disappear like it did." + + Both Sainio and Maccabee, I am told;, will have the opportunity to +analyze this slide, but according to Bland, there's no doubt it is the +identical craft that Martin "Allen" had photographed at 10:30 am that same day! +At this point, I could no longer wait to ask Bland the BlG question... were +these new objects the same ones that Ed Walters had photograpphed in 1987? +Bland's response was, "They could be brothers." I learned a few days later, +according to the story on the front page of The Islander, that both experts, +Sainio and Maccabee, agreed that "the overall shape of the object resembles, +but is not identical to, the shape of the objects photographed by Ed Walters." +Could it be that during "Bubba's" absence from July to November of 1992, that +its owner traded up to a newer model? Who knows, but stay tuned! This is an +on-going investigation that will probably continue for quite some time. In +conclusion, I would like to note that it is to the credit of the Gulf Breeze +investigators that they have "sat" on this story for over two months until they +and their independent experts had verified the evidence before releasing this +report to the public. Thanks for a job well done, guys ! + + Epilogue: In an earlier and, perhaps, related story, Bland Pugh was +the investigator on a case concerning mysterious markings at the first of this +year. In an article written for the May/June issue of the Florida MUFONNews, +Bland writes, "The story began on January 9, when "Bill" went to Pensacola +Beach at sundown to skywatch. It is not unusual for someskywatchers, myself +included, to go out by themselves. After parking, he set up his equipment for +what he hoped would be a sighting. He didn't have to wait long. Over the Gulf +appeared the bright light of the Gulf Breeze UFO. "Bill" looked at the object +through his 8x40 binoculars for a minute or so when he began to feel his face +flushing hot. Then his face felt like it had been exposed to cold for a long +period of time. Putting the binoculars down, he began to feel nauseated and +even a little faint. After about a minute, the dizziness seemed to be passing +somewhat. He looked for the UFO, but it was gone. "Bill" climbed into his +vehicle to regain his composu re. By now, the time was something like 8:00 pm. +He headed for Shoreline Park where a skywatch was underway. He told the people +at the park about his experience and was standing around talking when he +discovered he'd hurt his hand. Noticing the small amo unt of blood on the back +of his right hand, "Bill" thought that he must have hit it on something while +gathering his equipment and putting it into his vehicle. He didn't think too +much about it after that. On Friday of the next week, "Bill" showed me his +hand and said he was a little concerned about it because it hadn't healed, only +gotten worse. When he first discovered the marks, they were only small +perforations. They progressively got larger . Towards the first of the week, +the enlargement of each separate wound prompted him to call a doctor about it, +as it was very unusual in nature. The wound consisted of a circle of seven +separate and evenly spaced punctures, with one in the center. When "Bill" +talked to the doctor, he was told that he had "seen this type of wound +before." As of this writing, the circles are still visible on "Bill's" hand. He +has asked me to write this article in hopes that anyone with a similar mark +would contact him through me. Please write me (Bland Pugh) at P.O. Box 6111, +Gulf Breeze, FL 3 2561. All replies will be kept confidential. Please include +your address, telephone number and, if possible, a picture of the affected area +ONLY." + +In my 20-minute conversation with Bland on Sunday evening, June 20, I asked, +since Bland had been the investigator on this case, if he felt the incident may +have been hoaxed. Bland's response was "No," based on two reasons. First, the +integrity of the w itness who, surprisingly, did not feelthat he had been +abducted or was missing any time and, secondly, the flood of similar accounts +he has recelved since the reporting of this incident in The Islander and the +Florida MUFON News. + + People in southern Florida, several other Eastern states, and as far +away as England have also recounted mysterious wounds forming exactly the same +pattern on different extremities. Bland added that one case in Oklahoma dated +as far back as 1981. As it now appears that this new Gulf Breeze case is not +an isolated incident or unique in its character. Bland tends to feel the +circular pattern of wounds is genuinely of a mysterious nature and, therefore, +is deserving of further investigation. In response to the question concerning +the cause of these markings, Bland said at the present time, he has no idea, +nor has he heard of any theories being advanced on what is producing this +peculiar pattern of marks. Is the mystery UFO-related, or is this another +"syringe in the Pepsi can" phenomenon? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the +investigation and reports of additional cases continue. All I can say is to +keep looking up and behind you... you don't know what may be watching you! + +** End ** + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

My husband spotted it in the sky +and he went in and got his binoculars. We all took turns looking +at it. It was flashing red, yellow, green, and blue lights, with a +white light. And then, on the upper right hand side and from time +to time, it would move down the lower right side and then over +to the lower left hand corner of the thing." + + "At one point, it turned on its side or something and the white +light was in the center with red flashing lights going around it in +a circle. Then, when we lost sight of it, we rode over to Shoreline +Park where we saw three more just like it. Then we saw, in one +part of the sky, what looked like a big, bright star. The funny thing +was, though, when the four UFO'S vanished, so did the big white +star. It disappeared too." + +SENTINEL: How many people saw it, and can you tell us who they +were? + +SOLEY: While at Shoreline Park, we ran into a fisherman and a man +walking his dog. They were looking at it. We were all sharing the +binoculars. And then very shortly, of course, came Gulf Breeze +Police and two police officers saw it. + +SENTINEL: They said they saw it, too? + +SOLEY: Yes, they had our binoculars. We shared binoculars. My +husband is a printer and the thing that amazed him about this one, +as well as the one he saw about 13 years ago, he said, was that the +colors of the lights were not like the colors we have here. Like +the red lights were not any shade of red he had ever seen before. +And the same with the blue and the green. + + And then my brother-in-law, who we walked out to the car +with, has been in radar with the Navy ten years active duty and +twenty with the Reserves. He said he didn't recognize it as +anything he had ever seen in the Navy, and that the lighting on +it was not like any aircraft lighting that he had seen before. + + Then Tuesday night, Joe went out to the backyard and saw +another one--just like the other four we'd seen on Monday night, +but this one didn't stay there very long. It vanished in about +30 minutes. + +SENTINEL: And where is your house? + +SOLEY: On Breeze Street, off of North Sunset on the other side of +the peninsula, behind the Holiday Inn, more or less. And the +direction the thing was going in, it must have gone right over +our house and we missed it. It was like it was right over our +front yard and then starting veering southwest and finally, +at Shoreline Park. When they all left at once, they went southwest. + +SENTINEL: That was Monday night at what time? + +SOLEY: That was Monday night at 10:00 when we first saw it in +our front yard. We watched it for about an hour there, then went +to Shoreline Park and it was about 1:00 in the morning when +they got so faint and all but one had disappeared and about that +time the big white light was gone too. + +SENTINEL: How far away would you estimate it was when you +saw it? + +SOLEY: The first time we saw it--it's hard to say because I don't +know how big they really are--I would say it was probably over +the center part of Gulf Breeze between Shoreline and Fairpoint. +It would have been about in that general area when we first saw +it. + +SENTINEL: Any sensation of noise? + +SOLEY: No, no noise at all. It just hovered there and from time +to time they'd go up, down, or left to right, but they were +moving kind of slow.

A few times I thought I had seen somehting unusual, +but still a bit of skepticism prevailed. + + However, last week, on April 27th, a Thursday night about 9:30, +I routinely looked out my back door towards the City of Gulf +Breeze, hoping again these UFOs would make an appearance so +that I could see them. + + I was amazed to see something different in the sky. I walked +out on my back deck, turning off the kitchen light as I stepped +out and watched as a bright object shot at a tremendous speed +down and diagonally across the sky. It then made a circular +pattern, then shot straight up. The whole time it radiated colors +from it that grew in intensity from white, to blue, to green, to red. +No blinking lights just radiating colors of a nature I have never +seen. + + I have lived in this area for seven years and have watched the +sky on numberous occasions and am quite familiar with the +air traffic in the sky. I am very familiar with aircraft of all sorts +and know what an airplane, jet, helicopter and yes, the Goodyear +Blimp look like in the sky. I can assure you that what I saw +was not any of these. + + As I watched this object, which appeared to be right over the +area of Shoreline Park, I reached inside the house and called +an associate from work who came immediately to my house +with a friend. I also called my neighbors next door, who came +out on their balcony and watched the object and said that they +could see two of them. We watched the object for at least 30 +minutes. It sat in one spot for a very long time, then began to +slowly descend and move westerly, towards Perdido. I called a +friend, Kenneth Payne in Perdido who was at work. He went +outside with two other co-workers and they all saw the bright +object and confirmed it was moving slowly. This was a little +after 10 p.m. + + Another young man on the beach was also watching the object +and we talked on the phone with him as he looked at it though +his binoculars; he too said he thought he saw more than one. +He was not available for an interview at the time this story was +written but will tell his story this week, along with other sightings +he had on Saturday and Monday. + + I have written several stories about other people's experiences +of UFO sightings and always believed them, but I am sincerely +convinced now that something strange is flying over Gulf Breeze. + + Many reports of sightings have been flooding into THE SENTINEL +since last Thursday night. A report of a sighting on Tuesday night, +May 2nd, was from a woman who wished to remain anonymous, +called saying her and her family were eating at Pizza Hut when +they saw a bright object, they left the restaurant and followed it +up Highway 98 to Shoreline Park were several people were +already there with binoculars watching it. One gentleman she +said shared his binoculars with them. The woman reporting +the sighting, whose son-in-law was a pilot, said he saw a shape. +It had shining red, green, and white bright lights. The man with +the binoculars told the group that he had seen the UFO on other +occasions and when he saw it last week, it was so close and +bright, he could not continue to look at it. + + Anyone else who has had sightings recently, please contact +THE SENTINEL. If you are still a skeptic, like I was, start watching +the sky, you might just see something that will change your mind. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Gulf Breeze Sentinel, May 11, 1989 + +UFO SIGHTERS SEE "MOVERS AND FLASHERS" + +By Kimberly Stevenson + + Since the reported sightings of unidentified flying objects on +Thursday, April 27, Carla Yoder and her neighbor Kathy Deagle +have been keeping a watchful eye on the sky. + + They were among the many people who reported the objects +that appeared over Gulf Breeze. Now each night, they don +their binonculars and stand at the end of their street in the +Oriole Beach area looking for the extraterrestrial visitors. + + "Now the initial shock and fear are gone. Now it is just +curiosity," Yoder said. + + Yoder has been keeping notes and diagrams of the movement +and location of the shining lights, that radiate different colors +and appear to move in different directions each night. They +have seen them on April 27 and 29 and also May 1, 3, 5, and 6. + + Yoder wrote in her notes, "The days in between were too +overcast and also on April 30 first noticed, looking straight up, +an object just a small white light moving steadily across the sky. +Saw this three more times on 5/5 and a shooting star. A flash +of light with a tail." + + On April 27, as they watched the objects, they also noticed a +lot of air traffic flying overhead, helicopters, prop airplanes and +jets. The helicopters they said, appeared to be military, and +circled over the area. + + The two neighbors have come to call the objects they are seeing +"Movers and Flashers." The movers travel steadily across the +sky and the flashers radiate color and move slowly. + + Yoder and Deagle plan to keep a vigil on the Gulf Breeze sky +hoping to get a closer glimpse of these objects. "I wish one would +come close enough for us to see what it is," Deagle said. + + "If it is something the military is doing, then I wish they would +let us know," Yoder said as she lifted her binoculars towards the +sky. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

So, I thought I'd post³ +³my little UFO story here and see what people could make of ³ +³things: ³ +³ ³ +³ In the Fall of 1981 I was a young teen serving as an ³ +³Army tank crewman with Alpha Troop 1/10 Cavalry 4th ³ +³Mechanized Infantry Division, Ft. Carson Colorado. I was a ³ +³gunner aboard an M60A1, the antediluvian predecessor to the ³ +³M60A3. ³ +³ ³ +³ In early September of that year, my unit shipped out for ³ +³West Germany as part of the annual Reforger exercises. We ³ +³arrived on September 6th, drew our equipment, and headed ³ +³straight for the field. ³ +³ ³ +³ After about three weeks into the exercise my Squadron ³ +³took defensive positions around a little village called ³ +³Ramrod or Butzbach, I can't remember which. In fact, the two³ +³villages may be very close to each other, I've never checked³ +³a map. (I'm pretty sure it's Ramrod) ³ +³ ³ +³ Our tanks and M113s were placed in a thick little patch ³ +³of forest on the edge of a 1/2 kilometer wide by one or two ³ +³kilometer long field of thick green grass amidst slightly ³ +³rolling hills. Our gun tubes faced North towards the village³ +³some two kilometers away. ³ +³ ³ +³ The field itself was surrounded on all sides by thin- ³ +³trunked German fir trees with an average height of 90 feet. ³ +³A paved, two lane, road ran through my unit's position and ³ +³down the middle of the field into the village. ³ +³ ³ +³ After waiting two uncomfortable days for the British to ³ +³attack our positions, my Troop commander decided to let us ³ +³take trips to the sportzplatz in the village below for ³ +³showers. We hadn't bathed in over a week. ³ +³ ³ +³ I went in on the second run with most of my platoon, ³ +³about twenty guys. It was a cloudy, overcast, mid-morning. I³ +³cannot remember the day or the date. We were riding on a ³ +³full canopied 2 1/2 ton truck. I sat at the rear of the ³ +³vehicle, near the tailgate, because I liked the view and ³ +³didn't smoke. The back-flap had been rolled up and tied ³ +³open. ³ +³ ³ +³ If none of you here have ever ridden on a canopied 2 1/2 ³ +³ton truck, then understand that it is a jolting, jarring, ³ +³noisy, completely deafening experience where all aboard ³ +³acquire many bruises and stiff rearends after even the ³ +³shortest of drives. Communication is achieved only by ³ +³yelling to one another at the very top of your lungs. ³ +³Communication with the driver, from the back of the vehicle,³ +³is next to impossible. ³ +³ ³ +³ But I digress... ³ +³ ³ +³ As the truck made its way along the road at a 15 to ³ +³20mph clip, something moving in the air above the trees to ³ +³the East (The directions given here are only for purposes ³ +³of orientation) caught my attention. Less than 100 yards ³ +³away, just above the treeline, moved what appeared to be a ³ +³large (make that DOUBLE large) Glad Bag "rolling" about ³ +³through the air as if caught by the wind. ³ +³ ³ +³ Its speed must have been less than five miles an hour. ³ +³ ³ +³ Intrigued, I watched as the "bag" loped along ³ +³southwards, skirting above the trees, and then chaotically, ³ +³haphazardly, curved west towards the open field and began ³ +³descending. ³ +³ ³ +³ Now, this was all very unexciting until I noticed that ³ +³the "bag" was changing shape and color. ³ +³ ³ +³ As it made its westward "turn" and sloppy, rolling, ³ +³descent (just as a large, half-inflated, giant, garbage-bag ³ +³would if caught in a slipstream at 90 feet), its color ³ +³changed from flat green, to flat red, to flat black, to ³ +³flat blue and so on. As this was happening, so too did its ³ +³baggy, bulky, shape, begin to smooth and flatten the closer ³ +³it got to the ground. ³ +³ ³ +³ Pay special attention to the word -smooth-. It was as if ³ +³all turbulence had ceased and every crinkle, every ripple, ³ +³every bump, every possible exterior surface distortion that ³ +³might be caused by the slightest movement of wind "within" ³ +³the "bag", had vanished. ³ +³ ³ +³ Indeed, it was elongating and flattening to become a ³ +³smooth disk. ³ +³ ³ +³ At an altitude of scarcely twenty feet, all downward ³ +³motion suddenly ceased as the "disk" made a precise and ³ +³radical maneuver that sent it on a perfect horizontal ³ +³glidepath above the field. At this very instant, in reaction³ +³to the sudden and completely artificial maneuver, my Platoon³ +³Sergeant, SFC Venero, said, and I quote him exactly: "What ³ +³the f___ -IS- that thing?" ³ +³ ³ +³ To which I replied "It looks like a garbage bag that ³ +³changes color!" (Brilliant words indelibly etched in my ³ +³mind. ) ³ +³ ³ +³ I hadn't known he was watching, but he'd seen everything ³ +³just as I had. ³ +³ ³ +³ As the disk then continued to descend again, this time ³ +³with a very steady and controlled forward speed of ten ³ +³miles an hour or so, my truck crested a hill. Moments ³ +³before this "thing" would have landed, my view was blocked ³ +³by the hill as we moved downwards towards the bottom. ³ +³ ³ +³ I did not say a word. I did not scream "STOP THIS ³ +³TRUCK!" I did not in anyway try to jump off the moving ³ +³vehicle and run like hell to see what it was because I KNEW ³ +³I'd be... yelled at by my Sergeant. I was a disciplined ³ +³soldier and the thought of being yelled at kept me GLUED to ³ +³my seat. ³ +³ ³ +³ After the UFO disappeared behind the hill, Sgt. Venero ³ +³looked at me, blinked his big dull eyes once or twice, then ³ +³shrugged his shoulders. "Hmm" he said. ³ +³ ³ +³ Because the whole event was so very undramatic, because ³ +³there was no Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme music ³ +³playing, because the truck was rattling and swaying and ³ +³bouncing and because I would've looked like a fool, ³ +³screaming at all of them to shut up and tell the driver to ³ +³stop, I said not a damned thing. ³ +³ ³ +³ Nada. ³ +³ ³ +³ Later, when I tried telling others about what I'd seen, ³ +³the standard response was the heady "Sure, Conley. Sure." ³ +³ ³ +³ Sergeant Venero, not the most interesting, thoughtful, ³ +³or well read fellow, chalked it up as being "Just one of ³ +³those things." ³ +³ ³ +³ Now, whenever I've told this story to fellow military ³ +³people I get the usual "Hey, it was probably just an RPV." ³ +³ ³ +³ This is a very logical possibility, but I've seen quite ³ +³a few remotely piloted vehicles and ALL of them have wings, ³ +³ALL of them fly in relatively straight flight paths, ALL of ³ +³them change direction with a dip of the WINGS (which, as I ³ +³said, this craft did not have) and NONE of them change color³ +³and NONE of them change -SHAPE- in flight. (Forget midget ³ +³craft with variable sweep wings. This UFO did not have ³ +³wings.) ³ +³ ³ +³ Because of the noise in the truck, I can't tell you if ³ +³the craft made any noise. I will say that I heard nothing. ³ +³ ³ +³ What I saw just did not appear to be man-made. ³ +³ ³ +³ Has anyone here ever seen anything like this? ³ +³ ³ +³=END= ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

This goes on all time, especially in the media and +their propaganda bulletins passed as network news, to take an obvious +example. But the frightening thing is that once a fabricated belief is +established in the mass mind, anyone who tries to expose the original +fiction is almost certain to be set up as a liar, a lunatic, or +worse.. + +Fortunately for us there are still lunatics in the world who pan for +truth in the polluted rivers of disinformation. Borderlands has long +been one of those rare places where the odd, the avant garde and +heretical have found their voice; For example, way back in the 1950's, +long before UFOs became popular Borderlands was seriously +investigating this phenomenon and over the years has observed and +recorded all the extraordinary and bizarre developments in this field, +always with a mind open to the infinite possibilities of a greater +reality. In the early days of Ufology the extraterrestrial contacts +claimed were usually of the benevolent space brothers type (Ashtar +command), Adamski's voluptuous blondes from Venus, etc. It was all +rather harmless and the messages were even quite inspiring - never +mind that the technical information on how to 'get there' never quite +materialized. People believed what they wanted and reached out to +other worlds and other possible states of consciousness, perhaps for +the first time in their lives. It became a movement. + +But over the past few years everything has a changed. A disturbing +element has entered the once bright arena of ufology and a shadow +hangs heavy over the whole question of extraterrestrial contact. +Somehow, since the mid-seventies, the storyline has been twisted, the +stereotypical image of the 'space people' has been subtly and +deliberately altered to reflect a very different mood. According to +the proponents of this new wave of Ufology, extraterrestrial contact +isn't desirable anymore - unless you happen to be a masochist with a +penchant for painful 'medical' examinations of a sick sexual nature. +One thing is for sure - the space people aren't benevolent any more; +they're cold and gray and their intentions are increasingly sinister - +they want to control your mind, and steal parts of your body. + +This about-turn in the field of ufology, I mean 180 degree turn, from +the white voluptuous fantasy to the politically correct 'grays' (these +aliens are neither white nor black) is quite remarkable. While claims +of the earlier and more esoteric extraterrestrial contact were mocked +by most normal people including the media, now the media is becoming +saturated with stories of alien abductions and those same sane people +are parroting all the latest details. There's a belief here verging on +hysteria; so where, we have to ask, are these stories coming from? And +if they're true - show us the evidence! + +ENTER THE GRAY ALIENS + +The two main images in the lurid ufology sweeping into public +consciousness today are - gray aliens and abductions of humans by +these aliens. Together they form the key components of a cosmic +conspiracy theory with elements of high level government involvement +and mass genetic manipulation, to say the least and it's a conspiracy +that's spreading. A postcard just received in the mail from Paramount +Pictures states that "2.5 million Americans claim they have had an +alien abduction experience", as part of their upcoming release of a +major movie called "Fire in the Sky" very loosely based on the Travis +Walton incident well known to ufologists, one of the early abduction +cases which has been neither proven or refuted. + +The image of gray aliens is infiltrating the gray matter of the public +like the sinister shadow reflex of those ubiquitous little troll +dolls, insinuating itself into every level of the media. Grays are +finding mention in television shows, such as the documentary "A +Strange Harvest", the TV movie "Intruders", a recent episode of "Star +Trek the Next Generation", that well known prototype vehicle for the +New World Order federation propaganda...advertisements, almost every +new age consciousness publication, gutter press and otherwise +intelligent magazines. Their mutated bland bug-eyed heads have sent ET +back to kindergarten. Abductee has become a fashionable state of being +and abduction seminars, workshops, support groups and private +counseling for abductees are spreading like an epidemic. + +Here at Borderlands under siege from the stacks of hype from the New +True Believers, we have also received information from the other more +skeptical side of the story and this article is an attempt to gather +together some of the kernals of truth, if truth is to be found, from +the bloated fiction being sold by the sensation hungry press to the +ever gullible public. + + +THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ABDUCTIONS - WEAK LINKS IN THE CHAIN + + +One of the most rational and scholarly investigations into the claims +of human abductions by extraterrestrials is a meticulously researched +paper published recently by the International Fortean Organization, +titled "Demons, Doctors, and Aliens" by James Pontolillo, subtitled: +"An Investigation into the Relationships Among Witch Trial Evidence, +Sexual-Medical Traditions and Alien Abductions". But don't expect to +find any serious review of this work in the mainstream ufological +press, as James Moseley of the "Saucer Smear" cynically comments: "if +it ain't real-life aliens, true ufologists don't want to hear about +it!" + +The author is concerned about "the central role of cultural misogyny +in the origin and development of the alien abduction phenomenon"... +the shallow contradiction and misrepresentation of facts in the +reports, and the lack of substantiating evidence...as he says, +"nothing but the human imagination is required to produce an abduction +narrative." + +He begins by questioning the number of alien abduction cases claimed +by such prominent researchers as Budd Hopkins (100's of 1000's - or 1 +million last count), or Donald Ware from MUFON (approximately 6 +million Americans "whether they know it or not"). The figures claimed +are extrapolated from individual cases (including friends and +acquaintances) to the general population, and from a poll containing +five leading questions that was apparently distributed to several +thousand people, and quoted in Fate magazine. Have you ever experi- +enced missing time...felt you were flying... awakened with a strange +presense in your room... seen unusual lights..found puzzling scars on +your body..? You might be an abductee and not know it. This is the +theoretical base of the abductionists extravagant claims (but they +don't ask if you take drugs, drink alcohol, engage in subtle energy +practices, or watch too much TV..) + +Skeptics, of course, deny that anyone has ever been abducted. + +Pontolillo goes on to question the evidence of which the overwhelming +majority is unsubstantiated eye witness (and alleged eye witness) +testimony from the purported abductee. Most abductees are anonymous +and the crucial medical and psychological documentation on their cases +is inaccessible. He questions the use of hypnotic recall procedures by +pro-abduction therapists with little knowledge of the scientific +literature on hypnosis and its proper application. Most of the +abduction evidence hinges on hypnotic regression and, as Pontolillo +points out, "a casual examination of all major pro-abduction books +reveals the use of leading questions by researchers on their +hypnotized subjects" - while Hopkins categorically states in "UFOs And +The Alien Presence:" "You can't lead people." (Another question that +presents itself here is: How is it humanly possible to conduct +in-depth psychological tests for such a vast number of traumatized +victims - if their claimed numbers are true?) + +As there is _no physical evidence or objective testimony_ the author +digs more deeply into the psychological interpretation of the +abduction phenomenon to seek out the underlying archetypal imagery. In +doing so he draws a compelling thread between UFOs, abductions and +ancient folklore tradition, or as he puts it "The core abduction +event, sexual and medical experimentation by extraterrestrials on +unwilling human (primarily female) subjects, is only the latest +variation in a time-worn cycle of misogynistic folk tradition endemic +to Western civilization." + +He takes the reader back to the first abduction story ever recorded, +in Genesis, with the sons of God _taking_ the daughters of men, +beginning a cycle of domination and abuse of women not merely +tolerated but aggressively pursued by the Judeo-Christian authorities. +In the early days of the Church, intercourse between female saints and +angelic lovers in male form was quite acceptable, as was the idea of +human-angelic interbreeding, but later on woman was made into the evil +seductress, the insatiable succubus depicted lewdly cavorting with +demons. The sadistic trials of the Great Witch Hunt (15-17th century) +with their countless victims, mostly women, were a direct result of +this misogynistic mythology, and the physical and sexual torture of +the mediaeval inquisitors with the lurid confessions extracted from +their helpless victims were only a few steps away in time from the +"scientifically proven" fledgling disciplines of crude gynecology and +psychiatry. It's chilling but true that normal female sexuality in the +1800s was "treated" with flogging, clitoridectomy and female +castration. As Pontolillo states, these are the roots from which much +of our 20th century philosophical, intellectual and scientific modes +of thinking grew. Under the cloak of science, intercourse with the +supernatural faded from public view but in the mid 1950s it returned +in another guise, the early contactees such as George Adamski, and an +increasingly religious tone to the UFO encounter. It was in the 1960s +that the claimed abductions of Betty and Barney Hill, Antonio +Villas-Boas and Betty Andreasson-Lucas were reported, setting the +theme for all subsequent abduction stories. While abduction proponents +claim the media had no influence on the reports of these famous cases, +Pontolillo points out the great tide of pulp sci fi magazines and +movies conveying "the paranoia about alien visitors that had permeated +American culture and its resultant influence on the development of the +alien abduction phenomenon" with examples like the '39 novel "Sinister +Barrier" where extraterrestrials artificially inseminate human women, +or the 57' film "The Mysterians" where alien men take human wives for +breeding purposes. + +The media hype following the Betty cases saw a phenomenal upsurge in +reported abductions and with them a return to the mythic theme +proposed by the author. The blatantly sexual medical procedures +practised by the aliens on the abductees uncannily echo the reports of +the demonic liaisons extracted under the inquisitors torture - the icy +demonic phallus becomes a cold instrument inserted by aliens; the +"pricking" of the accused witch becomes a recurrent needle motif in +the alien "medical" examinations; some of the aliens copulate with the +women but there is no pleasure involved, and human interbreeding with +fairies or demons is transcribed into alien genetic manipulation, +forced interbreeding, the stealing of ova and sperm and brief +pregnancies with the fetus mysteriously vanishing into yet another +unverifiable report - _while the experiences of male abductees have +received very little attention_ . + +As Pontolillo states: "The abductee testimony of various medical and +sexual experiences is a convoluted mix of lucid dream imagery, +confabulated medical and sexual experiences, and iatrogenic effects." + +While he focuses on the psychological aspects and the mythic quality +of abduction reports the author also brings up the subject of devices +allegedly implanted in abductees bodies by aliens for purposes of +tracking and mind control, although it seems none of these implants +have been made available for independent scientific evaluation - they +have the habit of "vanishing mysteriously, being lost in the mail, +misplaced, stolen by unknown entities or seized by unnamed federal +agents as the ufological worldview usually requires." + +THE SINISTER WORLD OF 'SPY-CHIATRISTS' + +Another nail in the coffin of the gray alien syndrome is added by +Martin Cannon in a manuscript entitled "The Controllers: A New +Hypothesis of Alien Abductions", in which the author asks some pretty +basic questions that seem to be conveniently overlooked by the +abduction proponents. Firstly, "How do we know that the abductors are +alien at all? And if the abductees are placed under some kind of mind +control through implanted memory as claimed by Budd Hopkins and +others: How can we trust the perceptions of someone whose perceptions +have been altered? What if the kidnappers were actually human beings, +using advanced hypnotic techniques to create the 'alien' screen +memory? + +Cannon doesn't question the validity of the abductee experience, but +rather he seeks to unravel the deeper layers of the mystery from a +pragmatic and definitely Earth-oriented approach. With a formidable +list of resource references he puts forth his case that the claimed +UFO abductions might well be a continuation of clandestine mind +control operations including hypnosis, drugs, psychological +conditioning, microwaves, brain implants and even more disturbing +technologies. Having spent a great deal of time reading, researching, +contacting other researchers and conducting interviews, Cannon has +come up with shocking evidence of the sinister and covert world of the +"spy-chiatrists" who have been experimenting with mind control +technologies for decades. + +He says "If my hypothesis proves true, then we must accept the +following: "The kidnapping is real. The fear is real. The pain is +real. The instructions are real. But the little grey men from Zeti +Reticuli are _not_ real; they are constructs, Halloween masks meant to +disguise the real faces of the controllers." + +And who are the controllers? + +"Substantial evidence exists linking members of this country's +intelligence community, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the +Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of Naval +Intelligence, with the esoteric knowledge of mind control." + +He traces clandestine behavioral research going back to World War II +dealing with the developing tools of hypnosis, truth drugs and a +pharmacology of chemicals. After the war the Navy continued this +research, then in 1950 the CIA began its own mind control program with +Project BLUEBIRD, which became ARTICHOKE and later MKULTRA, regarded +by some as the most heinous of all the CIA's disreputable covert +operations - with its most secret area of study being +psychoelectronics. That these programs existed is an established fact, +as the author states "..the existence of mind control was verified in +two (heavily compromised) congressional investigations and in +thousands of FOIA documents." + +For those who doubt the power of mind control over unsuspecting +victims, he includes this anecdote about a MKULTRA veteran and author +on warfare hypnosis George Estabrooks, who "once amused himself during +a party by covertly hypnotizing two friends, who were led to believe +that the Prime Minister of England had just arrived; Estabrook's +victims spent an hour conversing with, and even serving drinks to the +esteemed visitor." As Cannon asks "If the Mesmeric arts can +successfully evoke a non-existent Prime Minister, why can't a +representative from the Pleiades be similarly induced?" + +As far back as the 60s, he states, and possibly earlier, scientists +have had the means to create implants similar to those claimed by +abductees. Around the late 50s a neuroscientist named Jose Delgado +invented a device known as a "stimoceiver" - a miniature depth +electrode which can receive and transmit electronic signals over FM +radio waves. With this the controller can wield a surprising degree of +control over the response of the subject, playing the emotions +electronically "as easily as a musical instrument." Delgado stated +quite clearly in 1966 that "motion emotion and behaviour can be +directed by electrical forces and that humans can be controlled like +robots by push buttons." Other researchers have induced memory, sexual +arousal, fear, pleasure and hallucinations in their subjects, and +devices have been created for tracking people over long distances, +leading to "electronic house arrest" devices approved by the courts. +(Mind machines of a supposedly more innocent nature have also become +commonly used in New Age circles, such as the Synchro-energizer, TENS +machine, etc.) The early implants were soon replaced by tiny +miniaturized intracranial receivers, which in turn have been +superseded by microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation +to elicit mind control. How far the technology has progressed is hard +to monitor, Cannon admits, as the press stopped reporting on brain +implantation in the early 70s, but journalists have asserted that the +CIA now has mastered "Radio Hypnotic Intracerebral Control" and +"Electronic Dissolution of Memory" - being able to induce hypnotic +trance, give suggestions, and erase memory ("missing time" is a common +claim of abductees), all at a distance and "_triggered at will_ by +radio transmission" surpassing even the sophisticated horror of "The +Manchurian Candidate". Intramuscular implants have also been developed +with the small resultant scars reminiscent of abductee reports. + +Perhaps the most ominous proposals for mind-management, says the +author, come from people like Joseph A. Meyer of the National Security +Agency who proposed implanting tens of million "subscribers", as Meyer +put it, (about half of all Americans arrested) who could be under +constant computer surveillance wherever they went. As this frugal +fellow stated, "implants are cheaper and more efficient than the +police." And the operation can be done right in the office taking less +than 20 minutes, as a Florida doctor brags, who also suggests +implanting children with transmitters for constant monitoring for +their own safety! With such sophisticated techniques at their disposal +Cannon asks the key question: _Why are 'advanced aliens' using old +Earth technology_ ? + +It all sounds very fishy and yet the lure of the little grey alien has +been swallowed by otherwise intelligent people, hook, line and sinker. +"Perhaps," says cannon, "one purpose of the UFO abductions is to +engender and maintain the legend of the little gray aliens. For the +hidden manipulators, the abductions could be, in and of themselves, a +propaganda coup." (It may be mere coincidence but "ex" - intelligence +agents are very prominent in such highly sophisticated disinformation +schemes as the 'cosmic conspiracy' , the UFO and alien abductions +plot, e.g. John Lear, William Cooper, Bob Lazar, etc - although on a +recent radio show both Lear and Cooper were both back-peddling on the +alien angle of the conspiracy caper). But for what purpose? One +chilling possibility put forth by Cannon concerns "the disposal +problem" of the mind-control experiments, or "What do we do with the +victims?" Another possibility is to prepare earthlings for a simulated +alien invasion which could bring into effect an international state of +emergency - remember the film "The Day the Earth Stood Still?" + +CATTLE MUTILATIONS + +Another atrocity that has been linked to alien abductions by the +thinnest of threads of evidence (so thin as to be practically +invisible) is the disturbing cattle mutilation enigma. In one case a +young woman claimed she was taken by aliens to a facility where they +were processing the body parts of a mutilated calf. In the New Mexico +area where cattle mutilations have occurred, strange lights have been +repeatedly seen in the sky along with other unusual activity such as +helicopters that can be seen but not heard, or heard but not seen. +Common in abductee accounts is the memory of a helicopter turning into +a UFO. According to George Earley who in a Fate interview with Hopkins +is surely fantasizing about equipment on an alien space ship: "Such +equipment might function in a manner similar to the Klingon cloaking +device in the "Star Trek" TV series." And in a similar vein Linda +Moulton Howe, creator of the TV film "A Strange Harvest," and a major +media proponent of alien abductions, states "..they (the grays) have +the technology to camouflage themselves however they want to." + +Drawn into this highly contentious area was Peter Jordan, author of +"The Psychometry of Cattle Mutilation" and founder/director of the +Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomena. As an independent +investigator Jordan, with a fair amount of skepticism, took +photographs of mutilations to four separate psychics, each with a +well-established reputation for accuracy. He was amazed by their +independent analyses which showed a stunning similarity of +impressions, each describing a military or paramilitary operation +involving helicopters, sharp surgical instruments, the necessity for +fresh animal samples, _hovering craft with lights to give the +impression of UFOs_ , and a strictly terrestrial but massive covert +operation. In one way or another each of the four psychics insisted +that "phenomena suggestive of extraterrestrial involvement had been +introduced to create confusion." + +So we have two diametrically opposed stories - UFOs manned by +"advanced" aliens cloaking themselves as helicopters - or - military +helicopters cleverly disguised as UFOs. + +What would you believe? + + +WHO CONTROLS THE CONTROLLERS? + +While Pontolillo and Cannon present enough evidence between them from +a psychoanalytical and physical standpoint to deflate the grey alien +bubble, there still remains a nagging feeling that something strange +is going on. + +Deep within the ancestral memory of every race lies the tradition of +space contact, of communication with divine or other-worldy beings and +it seems that at certain times, perhaps during powerful planetary +alignments, the barriers which separate humans from other worlds and +states of being become more tenuous, more easily crossed. During the +1960s and '70s for example an intense occult revival began to surface +across the planet inspiring individuals and groups to alter their +modes of perception, to penetrate other dimensions and +extraterrestrial spaces and make contact with 'those beyond.' Occult +technologies for accelerated spiritual development became suddenly +available and so did a strong desire for freedom from the prevailing +and intensifying state of global materialism. + +It was also during this time that the alien abductors made their first +much publicized appearance. Was it a deliberate attempt to close down +the newly opened 'doors of perception' - to make people fearful of +something beyond the control of earthly powers? Or was it merely +coincidence? + +One of the major influences on this occult revival were the prolific +writings of the English magician Aleister Crowley, who was +instrumental in merging the occult knowledge of the orient with the +western mystery tradition, and who could be called one of the first +contactees - in particular a book transmitted by a 'trans-mundane' +intelligence called Aiwass in Cairo in 1904. Several years later in +America, Crowley made contact with another extraterrestrial entity +called Lam and the reason I mention this is because a portrait drawn +by Crowley of this entity _bears a startling resemblance to the modern +'gray alien'. In recent years others have also made contact with this +entity which is regarded by the respected occultist and contemporary +author Kenneth Grant, as a potent "Gateway to other dimensions, other +worlds or aethyrs." And, he says, this image of Lam is "fast becoming +a focus for those interested in the occult implications of 'Ufology' +and intradimensional psionics." + +From "The Magical Revival" (1972) to "Hecate's Fountain," his latest +work, Grant has explored the occult ramifications of extraterrestrial +contact throughout human history, through "dimensions that scientists +are only just beginning to explore." He identifies the 'gateways' +through which alien forms of consciousness are manifesting and the +reasons why a rapidly growing number of people are experiencing an +explosion of consciousness, felt as disturbing because most are +without any occult, metaphysical or scientific discipline. + +Through the manipulation of natural forces such as nuclear and +electrical technologies man has unleashed certain energies (or from an +occult point of view, has evoked certain entities) over which he has +lost control and is now totally unprepared to face the consequences. +The elemental constituents of the material world have been blown +apart, the 'gateways' have been opened once again between the worlds +and real contacts are being established between the inner +consciousness of evolving humans and outer, or inner, space +intelligences. For those who can't detach themselves from a +materialistic world-view these subtle contacts are translated in +material terms as physical beings, 'the grays' with their equally +solid space ships (of which no material evidence exists), rather than +being recognized as grossly deformed shadows reflected into the +subconscious from cosmic individualities beyond the ken of the +rational mind. + +It's obvious that our world is undergoing a violent transformation. +All concepts of what constitutes a stable universe are daily being +swept away. Who can say with all certainty what is real, or what is +not? As for the 'grays' , the only ones I've seen with sinister intent +are the gray faced, gray-suited politicians on the network news +deciding _your_ fate.

Ruppelt, who would +serve as the project's last director and the first of its successor, Project +Blue Book, the "Dark Ages" of U.S. Air Force UFO study began. Reports were +now "being evaluated on the premise that UFOs couldn't exist. No matter +what you see or hear, don't believe it" (Ruppelt, 1956). + +Following the rejection by Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg +of the Estimate of the Situation, prepared by the pro-extraterrestrial- +visitation faction of Project Sign, the project (head-quartered at Wright- +Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio) was taken over by personnel who were +convinced that all reports could be accounted for in conventional terms. +Plans for an expanded investigation were canceled. On February 11, 1949, Sign +was renamed Grudge, retaining the older project's 2A security classification. + +As part of its effort to "get rid of UFOs," as Ruppelt put it, Grudge +cooperated with journalist Sidney Shallett, who in a two-part article in the +widely read Saturday Evening Post wrote that flying saucers had much more +to do with mistakes, hoaxes, and gullibility than with interplanetary visitors +(Shallett, 1949). Grudge thought that Shallett's piece would discourage +people from reporting UFOs, but when a flood of sightings came to the +project a few days after the second installment, personnel were convinced +that because Shallett had mentioned, if only in passing, that some sightings +remained unexplained, his article had only fed belief in UFOs. A debunking +press release a few days later failed to stem rising interest in UFOs - and +suspicions of official pronouncement on the subject. + +According to Ruppelt, the Shallett article, indicative of what to outsiders +(and even some insiders) looked like an abrupt reversal in official UFO +policy, "planted a ... seed of doubt. If UFOs were so serious a few months +ago, why the sudden debunking? Maybe Shallett's story was a put-up job +for the Air Force" (ibid.). + +With J. Allen Hynek, an Ohio State University astronomer and UFO skeptic +who had been hired as consultant to give a scientist's perspective on +sightings, Grudge set out to explain all reports. By August 1949 it had +prepared a 600-page report (Technical Report No. 102-AC 49/15-100, +classified Secret) which reviewed 244 sightings. It acknowledged that 23 +percent remained unexplained, but "there are sufficient psychological +explanations for the reports of unidentified flying objects to provide +plausible explanations for reports not otherwise explainable.... [T]here is +no evidence that objects reported upon are the result of an advanced +scientific foreign development; and therefore, they constitute no direct +threat to the national security." Nonetheless, anticipating a later concern +of the CIA-sponsored Robertson panel, Grudge fretted that "public +apprehension" about UFOs could be used by enemy forces for psychological- +warfare purposes. + +The project "recommended that the investigation and study" of UFO reports +"be reduced in scope" (Gillmor, 1969). + +Thereafter Grudge "lapsed more and more into a period of almost complete +inactivity" (Ruppelt, op. cit.). On December 27 the Air Force announced it +was closing down the project, even as it was launching a classified +investigation into a rash of reports of unusual aerial phenomena in New +Mexico (see Green Fireballs and Other Southwestern Lights). Meanwhile +Grudge's files were put into storage. + +In its January 1950 issue True, then a hugely popular men's magazine, ran a +dramatic article, "The Flying Saucers Are Real," by retired Marine Corps +major and aviation journalist Donald E. Keyhoe. Keyhoe wrote that +"Project Saucer" - the project's public nickname (its classified real name was +not generally known) - was only pretending to be skeptical, that in reality it +knew UFOs to be extraterrestrial but wanted to keep this unsettling truth +secret. The article attracted enormous attention and for years afterwards +influenced popular opinion about an official UFO cover-up. + +The public pronouncement notwithstanding, Grudge was not quite dead. It +retained a marginal existence, enough at least to assist Bob Considine as he +researched a UFO-bashing piece which would appear in the January 1951 issue of +Cosmopolitan. In it Considine, with Grudge's encouragement, lashed out at UFO +witnesses, whom he characterized as "screwballs" and "true believers." + +By the summer of that year the nearly inert Grudge was down to one +investigator, Lt. Jerry Cummings. But the situation changed rapidly in +September, following a series of sightings and radar trackings of fast- +moving unknowns in the vicinity of an Army Signal Corps radar center in +New Jersey (see Fort Monmouth Radar/Visual Case). Ordered to investigate +immediately, Cummings and Lt. Col. N. R. Rosengarten, chief of the Air +Technical Intelligence Center's Aircraft and Missiles Branch, spent a day at +the site interviewing all participants, then reported personally to Maj. +Gen. C. P. Cabell, head of Air Force Intelligence. Once there, Cummings +and Rosengarten were taken into a meeting already in progress and +subjected to severe criticism by Cabell, other high-ranking military officers, +and two representatives of Republic Aircraft. The group complained about +the quality of Grudge's work and its apparent indifference to a potentially +explosive national-security matter. By the time the two officers were ready +to return to Wright-Patterson, they had been ordered to reorganize the UFO +project. + +Cumming's days in the Air Force were numbered, however, and soon he was +released from active duty to return to the California Institute of +Technology, to resume work on a classified government project. +Rosengarten asked Ruppelt, an intelligence officer attached to the Air +Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson, to reorganize +Grudge. On October 27 Grudge was officially back in business. + +Ruppelt set about filing and cross-referencing all Grudge and sign reports. +He put together a staff consisting of individuals who had no firm opinions +about the UFO phenomenon and consequently could judge reports on their +merits. ("I had to let three people go for being too pro or too con" +[ibid.].) Beginning in December, staff members prepared regular status +reports which were issued approximately monthly. Four of these appeared +during Grudge's remaining reign; the first three were classified Confidential, +the last Secret (United States Air Force, 1968). + +Working with Hynek, the new Grudge staff prepared a standardized +questionnaire for UFO reports. Ruppelt and others briefed Air Force +officers around the country to let them know that reports would be gladly +received and competently investigated. In an effort to learn about sightings +Grudge was not getting, Ruppelt subscribed to a clipping service. He hoped +to be able to gain insights into the UFO phenomenon through the +compilation of statistics, and he got the Air Force to agree. It contracted +with the Battle Memorial Institute, a Columbus-based think tank, to conduct +such an analysis (which would be incorporated into Project Blue Book +Special Report 14, released in 1955). + +By March 1952 the Air Force had upgraded Grudge from a mere "project +within a group" to a "separate organization, with the formal title of the +Aerial Phenomena Group" (ibid.).

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, "It's a joint sort of thing, " he said, "In other words, although +the NRC is pretty open to the public, if they want to keep a document +classified, they'll store it with another agency, I have an inside secretarial +source who's actually seen the documents filed," 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. + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The public was told this based on a single +request to the United Stated Air Force regarding these projects +and the Air Force's subsequent denial of their existence. + +What initially brought our attention to Project Aquarius was from +a 17 Nov 1980 Telex for AFOSI only, Attachment A, basically +stating that a Project Aquarius existed. This document also +revealed that several other government agencies, led by NASA, +actively investigates legitimate sightings through covert cover. +The document goes on to say, "the official US Government policy +and results of Project Aquarius is still classified Top Secret +with no dissemination outside of official intelligence channels +and with restricted access to MJ Twelve." + +Five years later our attention was drawn, through a request to +the National Security Agency (NSA), to the fact that Project +Aquarius was found to be genuine. This document is dated 3 March +1986, serial #: J9014B, attachment B, and which states in part +"Please be advised that Project Aquarius does not deal with +unidentified aerial objects." We refer to this document as the +"Ice Document" because this is the document that broke the ice +for the first time acknowledging that a Project Aquarius does +exist. + +The next document we received from the National Security Agency +is dated 15 April 1986, Serial #: J9014C, attachment C, and which +states "Project Aquarius is classified Top Secret." The document +goes on to say "This document is classified because its +disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally +grave damage to the national security." These two newly released +documents were put on CUFON a year ago, at the end of April 1986. +CUFON stands for Computer UFO Network, which is a free +international telecommunications system for factual information +concerning only the subject matter of unidentified flying +objects. + +The next document that came to our attention and which we found +very important, is a document from the National Security Agency +(NSA) dated 27 January 1987, Serial #: Q4-072-87, attachment D, +and it is to the Honorable John Glenn, United States Senate and +which states in part the subject of paragraph 4, "Project +Aquarius , has been the subject of numerous FOIA requests. +Apparently there is or was an Air Force Project by that name +which dealt with UFO's. Consequently, there is also an NSA +National Security Agency project by that name. The NSA project +does not deal with UFO's." from these documents alone, obviously +we are not being told the truth. And for the first time we +recognize that Project Aquarius does deal with UFO's. And +remember, the Telex for AFOSI only was dated November 17, 1980. + +The next document that you will see is the one that focussed our +attention on the serious realty that UAO's (Unidentified Aerial +Objects) sometimes referred to as UFO's (Unidentified Flying +Objects) are landing on top strategic military installations. +This document is dated 2-9 September 1980 from AFOSI Det, +Kirtland AFB, NM., see attachment E. Source and evaluation Major +Ernest E. Edwards. This incident took place at Kirtland Air +Force Base on the 8th of August, 1980. Three security police +assigned to 1608 SPS, KAFB, NM, on duty inside the Manzano +weapons storage area sighted an unidentified light in the air +that travelled from north to south over the Coyote Canyon area of +the Department of Defence Restricted Test Range on KAFB, NM. +Please remember that this unidentified light was sighted at 11:50 +p.m. on th 8th of August. + +30 minutes later on August 9th, another sighting took place. At +approximately 0020 hours, (12:20 a.m.) a guardsman was driving +east on the Coyote Canyon access road on a building check of an +alarmed structure. As he approached the structure he observed a +bright light near the ground behind the structure. He also +observed an object he first thought was a helicopter. But after +driving closer he observed a "round disk-shaped object." He +attempted to radio for a backup patrol but his radio would not +work. + +As he approached the disk-shaped object on foot armed with a +shotgun the disk-shaped object took off on a vertical direction +at a high rate of speed. The guard was a former helicopter +mechanic in the U.S. Army and "stated the disk-shaped object he +observed was not a helicopter." + +On 8 September, 1980 it was learned from Sandia Security that +another security guard observed th object land near the alarmed +structure during the first week of August, but did not report it +until later for fear of harassment. The two alarmed structures +located within the area contained HQ CR 44 material. The +following evening, August 10th, 1980, a New Mexico State +Patrolman sighted an aerial object land in the Manzanos between +Belen and Albuquerque, in NM. The patrolman reported the +sighting to Kirtland Air Force Base Command Post, who later +referred the patrolman to the AFOSI Dist. 17. AFOSI Dist. 17 +advised the patrolman to make a report through his own agency. +On the 11th of August, 1980 the Kirtland Information Office +advised the patrolman that the United Stated Air Force no longer +investigates such sightings unless they occur on a United States +Air Force Base. + +On the 13th of August, 1980 a maintenance officer for Kirtland +Air Force Base reported that RADAR approach control equipment and +scanner RADAR were inoperative due to high frequency jamming from +an unknown cause "which was later determined to be of possible +hostile frequency jamming." Total blackout of the entire RADAR +approach systems to include "Albuquerque Airport which is a +civilian airport "and was in effect between 1630-2215 hours, +which in civilian time is 4:30 p.m. to 10:15 p.m., a total time +of 5 hours and 45 minutes. This would mean that all RADARs were +out, "civilian and military for that time period." Also, RADAR +approach control back-up systems were inoperative. + +On the same day Defence Nuclear Agency Radio frequency monitors +determined by vector analysis that the interference was being +sent from an area (V-90 degrees or due east). On DAF map +coordinates E-28.6. The area was located northwest of "Coyote +Canyon Test Range." It was later determined that no land-based +agency could disclose any information that could have caused such +interference. + +At 2216 hours, (10:16 p.m.), all RADAR equipment returned to +normal operation without further incident. The conclusions to +the whole incident were that the possibility of hostile +intelligence jamming could not be ruled out, but at the same +time, it was not concluded that the reported landings and +sightings of these aerial objects held any significance to the +possible hostile jamming. + +It should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to read the +material that is available today concerning these incidents at +Kirtland Air Force Base that landings did take place of +Unauthorized Aerial Objects, (UAO's), that were not part of any +government agency or any military agency of the United States of +America. It should also be obvious that, taking all these +documents and this incident into consideration, there is a +cover-up by certain agencies of the United States Government +concerning these Unauthorized Aerial Objects, (UAO's), commonly +referred to as UFO's, Unidentified Flying Objects. + +It is our contention that the people of the United States have a +right to know. If, as stated, these UFO's pose no threat, then +why are we denied information concerning the investigations by +these agencies doing the research and investigations, which is +ongoing today. Since these objects are real, as documentation +has proven, according to our own military sources, and remember +that a great deal of documentation is from police officers, +doctors, trained observers, and scientists. It is long past the +time when we should be treated as first-class citizens and given +the information that will enable intelligent people to understand +what is happening in our own skies. One should also note here +that these are not isolated incidents. For instance, in 1980, we +have knowledge that a landing of an aerial object took place at +Bentwaters, an American Air Force Base in England, where security +soldiers have come forward and testified as to the authenticity +of this landing, and went so far as to say that they were +threatened if they were to reveal this information. + +Also in 1980, two women, Betty Cash and Vickie Landrum, ages 51 +and 57, and a small boy by the name of Colby Landrum, age 7, +referred to as the Cash-Landrum Case and which took place in +Texas. The women and the child witnessed an Unauthorized Aerial +Object, (UAO), or referred to as UFO, was being pursued by 20 +military helicopters. Subsequently, the witnesses were badly +burned by some type of radiation and are suffering from those +effects to this day. Some of the effects were 50% loss of hair, +sores that would not heal, and last but not least, "cancer." + +Again, in 1975, a landing took place of an Unauthorized Aerial +Object, (UAO), on two different nights at Loring Air Force Base. +We were told that these were nothing more than mysterious +helicopters landing on a Top Strategic Air Command Base, we were +also told that 106 jets were scrambled out to pursue these +Unauthorized Aerial Objects. The jets could not overtake these +objects. One must note here that these were RADAR-visual +sightings, in other words, visually seeing the objects and +picking them up on RADAR at the same time. These mysterious +Unauthorized Aerial Objects, (UAO's), also hovered over missile +silos and were visually seen once again and RADAR confirmed. + +These unauthorized aerial objects UAO's were pursued for well +over a two-week period and were chased half way across the United +States and lower Canada, please note this case is on Air Force +documents. + +We think, we have demonstrated here today that certain government +agencies and certain military agencies have been, and still are, +in the Unidentified Flying Objects UFO business, or as we UFO +Information Services, call them "Unauthorized Aerial Objects +UAO's. + +There are many moral issues here as well as technical issues. +Many Americans have lost their credibility by standing up in the +first place, as an honest American, and reporting their close +range sightings. Also, there are military officers who have come +forth with their sighting information and have been passed over, +or had to retire, or forced to resign as a result of relating +their sighting or sightings. It would seem that it is time that +some people in the government must stand up and start being +responsible for what they have been elected to do and that is, +first and foremost, to tell the truth. "How does a free society +base good and honest decisions on incorrect and/or no +information. That does not work in a democracy." + +What we are also trying to achieve here today is to have +responsible senators and congressmen approve "Congressional +Hearings" in this matter and to subpoena certain members of the +military and agencies mentioned in some of these documents to +come forward and testify as to these landings on or near military +installations. + +Please see attachment F, which shows that we documented some of +this material May 8, 1987 in the Seattle Times relating to +Project Aquarius. We also documented some of this same material +concerning Project Aquarius on the Larry King Show on CNN on May +14, 1987 where the challenge to the authenticity of Project +Aquarius and the military involvement was first made. + + June 25, 1987 + Washington, D.C. + Press Conference, National Press Club + Closing Statements on Project Aquarius + and Incidents at Kirtland AFB + +It was in June of 1985 that we first became completely aware of +the significance of the 1980 incidents at Kirtland Air Force Base +in Albuquerque, New Mexico. While we had heard mention of these +incidents prior to this time it was not until we obtained copies +of the documents maintained by AFOSI that we began to focus out +attention and efforts on uncovering what facts we could relating +to what are referred to as the "Kirtland incidents". However, +while the AFOSI documents and their relation to Project Aquarius +is the principal topic of discussion it should be pointed out +that the events described in the original Complaint Form filed by +Special Agent Richard Doty were not the only incidents to have +taken place near Kirtland Air Force Base. + +One of the difficulties with information or documents obtained +through FOIA is that these items do not come with instructions on +how to interpret them. In going over documents which we have +been able to obtain it has proven to be a necessary habit to go +over each one many times. As a result we have found that quite +often seemingly insignificant details can take on new meaning, +and this, along with the slow process of gathering information +via FOIA requests, has provided most of the substantiation for +the validity of the documents and the topic of this conference. + +Given that the original Complaint Form detailing the incidents +near Kirtland AFB is a genuine document and that this form bears +a notation indicating threats directed towards nuclear resources, +why is there no documentation indicating any investigation or +intelligence report on these events? When security personnel +report such threats and their reports are seemingly ignored by +the principal headquarters in Washington then serious questions +need to be raised concerning our national defense and security. +Department of Defense regulations cited in HQ CR 44 specifically +direct responsible commanders to actively investigate such +threats, however, we are left to believe that in this instance no +one did anything. Richard Doty has stated that he submitted a +much more complete follow-up report but AFOSI headquarters claims +they never received it. + +Shortly after receiving the AFOSI documents we obtained a copy of +what is commonly referred to as the "Aquarius document" or "NASA +telex". This is the allegedly genuine document which outlines +the analysis of several photographic images of unidentified +aerial objects as well as 8mm motion picture film footage, while +this document also details several specific revelations about +purported Air Force and NASA activities it becomes related to the +Kirtland incidents specifically because of the mention of the +name Bennewitz. What has become the most significant aspect of +this allegedly genuine document is the indication that a project +Aquarius exists which in some way relates to the subject of UFOs. +The existence of a project Aquarius has since been proven. Since +this document surfaced, to our knowledge no one has obtained a +clear admission that this document, as it is, is in fact genuine. +But for obvious reasons this should come as no surprise. As no +one in any of the military or government agencies we have +contacted seemed willing or able to verify this. We spent the +next year learning as much as we could about all the various +names, abbreviations, and references involved in it. The items +which we found to be the most revealing were the references to +the 7602 AINTELG, HQ CR 44, S/WNINTEL, Project Aquarius, and +NASA. It was while trying to obtain information on the 7602 +AINTELG that we first became aware of possible involvement by the +National Security Agency. Though we did learn that the 7602 +AINTELG (now the Air Force Special Activities Center) is a part +of the Air Force Intelligence Service we were having some +difficulty obtaining satisfactory responses to our FOIA requests. +It was during this time period in a conversation with a +knowledgeable acquaintance that we were told the 7602 AINTELG was +a "branch of the NSA"! + +Partially as a result of this revelation we than addressed our +first letter to the NSA requesting information on four items +including any and all information on Project Aquarius. +Subsequently, and after several letters, we were informed that +NSA does have a project named Aquarius, that it is classified Top +Secret, and that no information on it would be released to us. +In the months after this, and in the process of searching for the +original source of this document, we happened upon what we feel +was a significant discovery. We have been told that the commonly +circulated copy of this document contains two changes from the +original. One of these changes as well as why these changes were +made we do no know. However, the second change as it was told to +us is that the reference to NASA originally reads "NSA". Based +on our experiences we believe this is true. Inasmuch as we were +told that 7602 AINTELG is affiliated with NSA, that NSA is named +in the original version of this document, and that NSA has +admitted to having a project entitled Aquarius, we believe it +would be reasonable to conclude that NSA is involved. + +Recently, in response to a letter from Senator John Glenn, seems +to have revealed that the Air Force has or had a project Aquarius +which does deal with UFOs. Whether this a simple fingerpointing +or not we are still trying to find out, however, at this point we +strongly believe that based on the available evidence any +reasonable person would have to conclude that there are serious +questions here which need to be answered. There is more than +enough evidence to prove that truly unidentified objects, such as +those reported in the Kirtland incidents, do exist and it is well +past the time that the responsible parties in the government and +military were called upon to answer for having kept this truth +from the American public. + + +Documents and Articles Attached: + + +Statement Made By Howard E.

Goldfluss, + Acting Justice, Supreme Court, + State of New York, + Source: OMNI June 1987 + +I was as skeptical as the next fellow about unidentified flying +objects. My legal training required evidence to prove the +existence of UFOs. None was forthcoming, except for the typical +tabloid headlines (I was sexually assaulted by a Martian) found +at supermarket checkout counters. But what was laughable has now +become serious. Solid evidence does exist to erase the +skepticism. Before this evidence emerged, I believed the Air +Force, the Central Intelligence Agency, and every other +government agency that insisted UFOs were a myth. I would have +continued to accept this government pronouncement forever had it +not been for the passage of the Freedom of Information Act +(FOIA). Congress enacted this law because it felt that the +government as keeping too many facts from public inspection. +This concern was certainly justified. Thanks to the FOIA, we now +know that Uncle Sam has been sitting on evidence that UFOs do +exist and that very substantial people have seen them. The most +revealing information is found in Air Intelligence Division Study +(A.I.D.S.) 203. Following are some of the references found +within: + +* White Sands, New Mexico, June 29, 1947. Three + scientists sighted a large, wingless disc or sphere + moving horizontally. + +* Portland, Oregon, July 7, 1947. Five police officers + sighted a varying number of similar discs flying over + different sections of the city. + +* Andrews Field, Maryland, November 18, 1948. Reserve + pilots Lieutenant Kenwood Jackson, Lieutenant Glen + Stalker, and Lieutenant Henry Combs encountered a + lighted UFO circling at 17,000 feet. They described + the object as an oblong ball with one light, no wings, + and no exhaust flame. + +If I could still doubt the sanity or sobriety of the observers +already mentioned, an inspection of Air Intelligence Report +1R-193-55, dated October 15, 1955, would have to be the +convincer. The report was compiled after interviews with Senator +Richard Russell of Georgia, then chairman of the Armed Forces +Committee of the Senate; Lieutenant Colonel E. V. Hathaway, a +staff officer assigned to the committee; and Reuben Efron, a +committee consultant. On October 4, 1955, at 7:10 P.M., after +departing by train from the USSR, all three observed two flying +discs taking off almost vertically--one minute apart. + +What we ultimately seek in the courts is the truth. If even a +portion of the facts is suppressed, the truth will not emerge. +How could I or any judge reach a proper decision on the issue of +UFOs when the testimony of responsible and credible witnesses has +never been heard? + +We have now heard the other side of the case. We had been led to +believe that only charlatans, drunks, fools, or psychopaths +observed the phenomenon. We now know that many of those +witnesses were responsible, credible, and respected people, most +of whom were technologically trained.

Our records show that Mr. Stone + has submitted six such requests over the past 7 years. One of + those requests was for the information mentioned in paragraph 2 + of his letter to you, the UFO incident at RAF Woodbridge Base. + In our 1 February 1984 response to Mr. Stone ( Enclosure 2 ), we + notified him that the estimated manpower and computer search + costs involved in locating records responsive to his requests + were $250.00.

On 2 Sept 80, SOURCE related on 8 Aug 80, three Security Policemen +assigned to 1608 SPS, KAFB, NM, on duty inside the Manzano Weapons Storage +Area sighted an unidentified light in the air that traveled from North to +South over the Coyote Canyon area of the Department of Defense Restricted +Test Range on KAFB, NM. The Security Policemen identified as: SSGT STEPHEN +FERENZ, Area Supervisor, ATC MARTIN W. RIST and AMN ANTHONY D. FRAZIER, were +later interviewed separately by SOURCE and all three related the same +statement; at approximately 2350 hrs., while on duty in Charlie Sector, East +Side of Manzano, the three observed a very bright light in the sky +approximately 3 miles North-North East of their position. The light traveled +with great speed and stopped suddenly in the sky over Coyote Canyon. The +three first thought the object was a helicopter, however, after observing the +strange aerial maneuvers (stop and go), they felt a helicopter couldn't have +performed such skills. The light landed in the Coyote Canyon area. Sometime +later, three witnessed the light take off and leave proceeding straight up at +a high speed and disappear. + +2. Central Security Control (CSC) inside Manzano, contacted Sandia Security, +who conducts frequent building checks on two alarmed structures in area. +They advised that a patrol was already in the area and would investigate. + +3. On 11 Aug 80, RUSS CURTIS, Sandia Security, advised that on 9 Aug 80, a +Sandia Security Guard, (who wishes his name not be divulged for fear of +harassment), related the following: At approximately 0020 hrs., he was +driving east on the Coyote Canyon access road on a routine building check of +an alarmed structure. As he approached the structure he observed a bright +light near the ground behind the structure. He also observed an object he +first thought was a helicopter. But after driving closer, he observed a +round disk shaped object. He attempted to radio for back up patrol but his +radio would not work. As he approached the object on foot armed with a +shotgun, the object took off in a vertical direction at a high rate of speed. +The guard was a former helicopter mechanic in the U.S. Army and stated the +object he observed was not a helicopter. + +4.

On 13 Aug 80, 1960 COMMSq Maintenance Officer reported RADAR Approach +Control equipment and scanner radar inoperative due to high frequency jamming +from an unknown cause. Total blackout of entire RADAR approach system to +include Albuquerque Airport was in effect between 1630-2215 hrs. radar +Approach Control back up system also were inoperative. + +2. On 13 Aug 80, Defense Nuclear Agency Radio Frequency Monitors determined, +by vector analysis, the interference was being sent from an area (V-90 +degrees or due East). On DAF map coordinates E-28.6. The area was located +NW of Coyote Canyon Test area. It was first thought that Sandia Laboratory, +which utilizes the test range was responsible. However, after a careful +check, it was later determined that no tests were being conducted in the +canyon area. Department of Energy, Air Force Weapons Laboratory and DNA were +contacted but assured that their agencies were not responsible. + +3. On 13 Aug 80, Base Security Police conducted a physical check of the area +but because of the mountainous terrain, a thorough check could not be +completed at that time. A later foot search failed to disclose anything that +could have caused the interference. + +4. On 13 Aug 80, at 2216 hrs., all RADAR equipment returned to normal +operation without further incident. + +5. CONCLUSION: The presence of hostile intelligence jamming cannot be ruled +out. Although no evidence would suggest this, the method has been used in +the past. Communication maintenance specialists cannot explain how such +interference could cause the radar equipment to become totally inoperative. +Neither could they suggest the type or range of the interference signal. DNA +frequency monitors reported the interference beam was wide spread and a type +unknown to their electronical equipment. Further checks of the area was +being conducted by Technical Services, AFOSI. + +6. High command interest item. Briefings requested IAW AFOSIR 124-4 be +completed at HQ AFOSI/IVOE. HQ CR 44 and 51 items. + + + +From Seattle Times, May 8, 1987 + + 60,000 Sightings Can't Be Wrong, Seattleite Insists + By Peter Lewis, Times Staff Reporter + +In their most commonly reported form, the aliens have large heads +and stand 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. Their enormous eyes rest under a +transparent helmet. + +Clad in jumpsuits adorned with insignias, the humanoids walk in +sure, positive movements. + +Far Out? + +Maybe so, but that's where they probably come from. + +And Seattle resident Dale Goudie has talked to people who say +they've seen them. + +Goudie has spent the last 14 years researching UFO's and using +the Freedom of Information Act to collect federal documents that +he contends prove UFO's exist. + +The official position of the U.S. Air Force, for example, is that +it got out of the UFO business when Project Bluebook ended in +1969. But Goudie says the Bluebook was succeeded by Project +Aquarius. + +Since 1942, there have been an estimated 60,000 UFO sightings in +the United States alone and only 5 percent of sightings are +actually reported, Goudie says. Feeding characteristics of the +60,000 sightings into a computer, 250 different shapes emerged, +suggesting to Goudie that there may be more than one species +involved in UFO's. + +"The bottom line is: Don't believe me, but do read what is +available" says Goudie, who has dedicated a room in his home to +countless files and papers on UFO's. + +"The real problem is, no one wants to take the responsibility of +telling the American public this (UFOs) is real." + +Consider a series of once-classified material on Project +Aquarius: + +An Air Force document dated Nov. 17 1980, from the Office of +Special Investigations at Rolling Air Force Base in Washington, +D.C. to OSI at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico refers to a +"request for photo imagery interpretation." + +Other papers indicate that the request stemmed from a series of +"alleged sightings of unidentified aerial lights" over the +Manzano Weapons Storage Area at Kirtland between Aug. 8 and Sept. +3, 1980. + +An analysis of at least two pictures of the sightings concluded +that the film was unaltered and that they were "legitimate +negative(s) if (an) unidentified aerial object," according to the +Nov. 17 1980, document. Of the two confirmed sightings, one +"contained a trilateral insignia on the lower portion of +object...." + +The document also states: + +"The official U.S. government policy and results of Project +Aquarius is still classified top secret with no dissemination +outside official intelligence channels .... Because of a chance +of public disclosure, no knowledgeable personnel with SPA (it's +not clear it SPA stands for Special Project Aquarius, or +something else) will be provided...." + +But another Air Force document dated Jan. 25, 1983, says +"possible unauthorized release of classified material" cast doubt +on the authenticity of the Nov. 17, 1980, document. The later +document says the earlier one included nonexistent offices and +officers, it sought to discredit the validity of the purported +imagery interpretation. + +When a Freedom of Information request letter dated Feb. 20, 1986, +sought information on Project Aquarius, the National Security +Agency responded, in part, with a letter dated March 3, 1986: + +"Please be advised that Project Aquarius does not deal with +unidentified aerial objects. We, therefore, have no information +to provide you on the subject." + +But when U.S. Sen. John Glenn wrote the National Security Agency +on Jan. 7 of this year on behalf of a constituent who was having +trouble getting responses to Freedom of Information requests +about Project Aquarius, the reply letter, dated Jan. 27, said in +part: + +"Apparently there is or was an Air Force project by that name +which dealt with UFOs. Coincidentally, there is also an NSA +project by that name. The NSA project does not deal with +UFOs...." + +It is Goudie's contention that the responses about Project +Aquarius demonstrate the government is saying one thing and doing +another. He theorized that the government is reluctant to admit +the existence of even one UFO because as soon as it does, it +fears opening the door to mass +hysteria. + +Spokesmen for the Pentagon, the Air Force and the National +Security Agency either declined comment or denied that any +government agency is actively investigating UFO's. + +The Air Force quit studying UFOs in 1969 after a $500,000 study +conducted by the University of Colorado concluded that "UFO +phenomena do not offer a fruitful field in which to look for +major scientific discoveries," according to Capt. Jay DeFrank. + +DeFrank noted that in 1977, President Carter asked the National +Aeronautic and Space Administration to look into the possibility +of resuming active investigation of UFOs. + +This is the same man who in 1973, when he was governor of +Georgia, said, "I don't laugh at people anymore when they say +they have seen UFOs because I've +seen one myself." + +NASA spokesman Dave Garrett recalls that agency's response to the +president: "We said, "Thank you, but no thank you." We have never +been in the business." + +Dennis Chadwick, chief spokesman for the National Security Agency +at Fort George Meade in Maryland, an arm of the Pentagon, would +not say whether NSA or any other government agency is actively +investigating UFOs. + +Goudie, a 45-year-old freelance ad man and former TV talk-show +producer, is not deterred by the government's stance. Two years +ago, he established a computerized UFO bulletin board - CUFON +(for Computer UFO Network) - that has more than 1,400 members. +It spits out information, free of charge, to anyone with a +computer and a modem. + +He also runs UFP Information Service International, a global +network of UFO sightings, and Puget Sound Aerial Phenomena +Research Inc. + +None of these enterprises, he says, is a moneymaking operation. +Goudie says he and others like him have been helped in their many +Freedom of Information requests by military personnel who want +the public to know about UFOs, but who can't afford to be named. + +Many of the documents he's obtained indicate that "suspicious +unknown air activity" has occurred at top-security military +installations where nuclear weapon are stored. + +The documents relating to UFOs dropping in on Air Force bases +have been published elsewhere - and professional skeptics such as +Philip Klass, an editor with "Aviation Week & Space Technology," +have written books debunking the authenticity of those and other +sightings. + +But Goudie notes the government itself has never volunteered any +information, much less any explanations, about UFOs at military +bases. + +"You can explain anything away," says Goudie, referring to Klass +and the other debunkers, "But these aren't solid answers." + +Goudie also says he has consulted with "optical physicists" who +have performed "video-negative photoanalysis" of video tapes of +UFOs to substantiate that the objects are not of this earth. + +Goudie also says he has interviewed about 40 people over the +years who claim to have been abducted by UFOs. All occurred in +rural areas, including some episodes outside Redmond, in Maple +Valley and north of Seattle. He thinks about three-fourths of +them are telling the truth. + +In many cases, the victims have suffered physical scars that they +didn't have before their encounter, Goudie says. "I've tried to +get these people to come forward. They don't want anything to do +with newspapers. They're scared to death of losing their +jobs..." + +Considering the threat to national security and the risk to +civilians, Goudie believes the government has an obligation to be +more forthcoming. + +You don't have to look to faraway places for physical evidence of +UFOs, according to Goudie. He has a videotape of an object +flying over Tacoma in 1982, enhanced by a process know as "video +negative photo analysis" which allows the viewers to see vertical +and horizontal lines within what Goudie calls "the plasma" that +covers the true shape within. He expects the video to air on +Sunday's Town Meeting" on KOMO. + +Television, specifically a Dick Cavett shoe that aired in 1973, +stated Goudie's preoccupation with UFOs. He's since appeared on +CNN's Larry King Show and CBS-TV network news shows, among +others. + +He has spent countless hours and dollars pursuing UFOs. + +His goal, he says, is to see the subject become an area of +serious scientific inquiry. + +"I'm doing it because I think people deserve the facts, and no +one's taking the time to do it." + + + + +Paper : The Weekend Australian, June 27 - 28, 1987 +Reporter: Christopher Hanson in Washington D.C. +Title : UFOs Swooped Over US Bases + +Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been swooping over United +States military bases, causing concern in the Defence Department, +according to government documents released yesterday by a group +of UFO researchers. + +The president of the Seattle based UFO Information Service Mr. +Dale Goudie, said the Defence Department documents, released on +the eve of a three-day conference on UFOs at American University +in Washington DC, were provided to him under the Freedom of +Information Act. + +One US Air Force document, dated September 9 1980, describes the +sighting of UFOs by security guards at Kirtland Air Force Base in +New Mexico the month before. It said three guards, interviewed +separately, each described an "unidentified light in the air" +that swooped over a weapons storage area just before midnight on +August 8 1980. + +It "travelled with great speed and stoped suddenly in the sky". +The three first thought the object was a helicopter. However, +after observing the strange aerial manoeuvres (stop and go), they +felt a helicopter couldn't have performed such skills... they +witnessed the light take off and leave proceeding straight up at +a high rate of speed, the document said. + +( Secret ) + +Thirty minutes later, it said, another guard reported seeing a +similar craft at a nearby military research station. "After +driving closer, he observed a round disc-shaped object ...as he +approached on foot armed with a shotgun, the object took off in a +vertical direction at a high rate of speed. The guard was a +former helicopter mechanic in the US Army and stated the object +was not a helicopter." + +Mr. Goudie said the reported New Mexico incident was one of many +at US military bases, but he provided no further documentation. +Another document released by the group, dated November 17 1980, +said film taken of UFOs travelling at high speed appeared to be +authentic and referred to a top secret Project Aquarius that +investigated UFOs. + +Mr. Goudie said the Air Force, which gave him the document, could +not vouch for its authenticity. His group was hunting that up. +The document had evidently been in official files. He released a +January 27 1987 letter referring to Project Aquarius sent to +Senator John Glenn, an Ohio Democrat, by the National Security +Agency (NSA). + Reuters +By Bill Cox FLORIDA TODAY - and - USA TODAY Newspapers + +June 28, 1987 + +Accusations fly as "ufologists" air concerns + +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +"Information is available to anyone who knows what to ask for. I +think the records are compelling, and yet most Americans aren't +even informed about it." + + - Dale Goudie, UFO Information Service + +WASHINGTON DC - Two million people watched two mammoth +unidentified flying objects cruising at low altitudes between +Argentina and Chile on the afternoon of Aug.17, 1985. Soil and +vegetation samples underwent significant biochemical changes +folling a UFO landing at Trans en Provence, France, on Feb.8, +1981 + +After cataloguing nearly 6,000 UFO's over 40 years the Italian +government in 1984 directed its Air Force to keep a lid on the +investigations. Such claims were made here Saturday by UFO +investigators from around the planet as the International +Symposium on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena entered its second +day. The meeting, at the American University, drew more then 400 +people, along with representatives of an assortment of media, +including Penthouse magazine, the Voice of America, Strange +Magazine, Omni magazine. + +The Soviet news agency Tass, WKSG-FM in Detroit and the People's +Daily news paper of China. They registered to hear international +speakers from as far away as Australia and Great Britain accuse +their resective governments of UFO cover-ups. + +Mr. Dale Goudie of Seattle Washington, displaying documents +thatreport on Air Force investigation of a purported UFO landing +at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico in 1980, asserted he was +getting support from a handful of congress-ional leaders to +conduct hearings on the phenomenon. We are not going after these +things as UFO's" Goudie said, distributing documents that he +obtained through the Freedom Of Information Act and that +werecompiled by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. +Goudie said,"We'er going after it as a National Security +Problem," If these bases were indeed penetrated -- as they +apparently were -- then the NSA ( National Security Agency ) +should have "interpreted that as an Aggressive Act, as an act of +War." + +" This information is available to anyone who knows what to ask +for," Goudie said. "I think the records are compelling, and yet +most Americans aren't even informed about it. For some reason, +the mass media is reluctant to pursue this thing and I don't +understand why. Tom Dooley of San Antonio, who said he worked +for the NSA from 1978 to 1982, also voiced concern over the +alleged UFO penetrations of Kirtland. "Yes, it does disturb me," +he said. Not because there were necessarily these UFO's that got +in but because it means that anything could get away with +something like that. + +Dooley said the NSA itn't involved with collecting UFO data. I'm +sure if they were so concerned about flying saucers, they +would've said something to me about it, he said I was a founding +secretary for the Fund For UFO Research back in 1978. I made no +secrets about it. I even had bumper stickers pasted on my +locker. + +The premise at the symposium this weekend has been that UFOs do +exist. In paying homage to the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a former +Air Force investigator and UFO skeptic-turned-believe, Temple +University historian David Jacobs said Hynek's death last year +marking the end of an era. If a new era is emerging in "ufology" +-the study of UFO's -it is concerned with the recent and +prevalent accounts of people having been abducted for short +periods by alien beings, some say. "Now, we're in a situation of +looking back at the external characteristics of the phenomenon +we've compiled over 40 years, and looking ahead to the +motiv-ations of the intelligence behind the phenomenon," Jacobs +said. We are on the verge of an intellectual breakthrough of +incalculable....importance. + +For Zhang Yunwen, a Washington D.C. correspondent for China's +People's Daily, the UFO symposium was too good a story to pass +up. "No I have no information on attitudes of our government on +the UFO's," Zhang said. I don't think our government is involved. +But I do believe readers in China are interested in this. It's +not religious, it's not superstitous - it's a mystery. You can be +skeptical about this, but I think there are quite a few good +sightings which need some kind of research. + + +Mr. Klass issued the challenge which resulted in the above press +conference on The Larry King Show, CNN Network, when he appeared +with Mr. Goudie, May 14, 1987. + +Upon his return to Seattle, Mr. Goudie called CNN asking them to +mediate the challenge and inform Mr. Klass that Mr. Goudie +accepted the challenge. Mr. Klass subsequently called Mr. Goudie +to discuss this matter. The June 3, 1987 letter from Mr. Goudie +to Mr. Klass reproduced on the following page confirmed the +content of that telephene call. A Postal Service return receipt +was signed June 8, 1987 by Mr. Klass. + +Mr. Klass did not show up for the press conference.

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 time, 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 +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 U.F.O.

And so there is a grain of validity to the charge 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. 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.

Now, a lot of other things happen, but they do not always +happen at every occasion". + +Host: + +"Do they describe how the sperm and egg samples are taken?" + +Jacobs: + +well, eggs are taken internally, with certain very carefully described +instruments. Sperm is collected strictly mechanically. There are are +actually three or four different kinds of devices, basically they are +all the same though, and oftentimes the man doesn't even know what is +happening, it's a very quick procedure. What you are looking at +primarily here is an extraordinary convergence of story and detail, a +richness of detail that is impossible to understand other than through +objective reality. People begin to describe certain things within the +abduction - phenomenon that have never, ever been publicized and that +they would simply not know to invent. They all essentially say the +same thing, over and over again... and they'll say things and look at +me inquiringly and say, "has anybody else ever reported anything like +this?" .. and of course I've already heard it 200 times.. and it's +just an extraordinary situation. Now physically, when people think +they have had an abduction experience, they might first of all say +that there was a missing time experience, they cannot account for two +hours of their life. For instance they'll travel from work to home and +they know it takes 12 minutes each way and they've been doing it for +years and then one day it takes two ~hours~ and 12 minutes and they +are at a loss to explain this, it seemed perfectly seemless to them. +Well, in every one of these situations of missing time, the people +have actually ~been~ missing. It's not a situation where they claim +it, and then independent investigation has revealed that they were +down at the corner bar bending the old elbow. In fact, people have +called the police, because of missing children, search parties have +been organized looking for people, there has been every evidence to +suggest that people are not in place. The problem here is that if it +is not an objective event, then it is automatically internally +generated - people are just dreaming it up for whatever reason. But +the psychological and the psychiatric community have been unable to +account for how this could possibly be, and there is no precedent for +it in psychological or psychiatric literature - and most psychologists +and psychiatrists and therapists of all types who have confronted +this, have simply drawn a blank. It does not ~seem~ to be imaginary, +it does not ~seem~ to be internally generated". + +(Lengthy Betty Hill clip, continuing the abduction experience) + +Host: + +Betty and Barney Hill's abduction was the first ever reported. That +was 29 years ago. There have been so many reported abductions since, +that investigators are able to point to what ~they~ see as an amazing +similarity among these stories. All have the same sorts of events. +Aliens that look the same, the same physical examinations and so on. A +key element here is that certain features of these stories are +withheld from the public. That makes it much more difficult for anyone +to fake an abduction story. But it's frustrating. We'd all like to +know what some of these ~secret~ features are. But you can't ask the +researchers to reveal them... can you? Dr. David Jacobs." + + +Jacobs: + +Sure you can. There's so many of them, there's so little that is known +about this subject in the public that it's just an extraordinary +situation. For instance, one of the things that people describe that +can now be revealed... as they say .. is the fact that when they leave +their car or their house or their bedroom or wherever they are during +an abduction event, they say something extraordinary, sort of amazing +that makes no sense whatsoever and they all seem to say this. They say +that they float up into the air and they appear to be floating +directly through a closed window. Now, this is an extraordinary thing +or course, and it's outrageous and unbelievable on the face of it. yet +they ~all~ say it, and they ~all~ realize when they are saying it that +it sounds crazy, and we have carefully, carefully questioned them +about whether they stopped first and opened the window and the screen +and the whole business... we don't have any cases of them opening the +window, they ~all~ say that they do this.. every one of them... and +the question is, why would they say this, this is a dumb thing to +say... this is a thing to say that will obviously point to some sort +of imagination or a hoax. But they're all fairly adamant that that's +what happens. We don't of course, understand what is happening here +completely, this is a little detail that just has not been published +before. + +Host: + +Don't you think I could come to you Dr. Jacobs knowing the little I +know about abduction stories. read a few more, then come to you and +say .. look. I had this strange experience, make up a bunch of details +and make a convincing story?" + +Jacobs: + +Well, there are two ways to deal with that. Number one, 90 percent of +the abduction phenomenon has not been publicized, so you'd have to bee +on target pretty good {chuckling} it's very tough to do. You'd be +amazed how difficult it is. In fact, I teach one of the few ... the +only course actually on UFO's in the United States at a major +university. I will tell students... give them an assignment if they +wish, to make up an abduction event and I will tell them they can read +anything that they want.. it doesn't matter, and I want them to tell +me several facts that ~all~ abductees say ~all~ the time, without +exception.. just to see it they can hit it. In the four years I've +been doing this, no one has hit it yet. What we are finding with the +abduction phenomenon is that is an extremely routinized, highly +structured event. Certain things happen to people and that's all .. in +other words, people don't describe going up .. and then your sort of +all over the place... y'know they don't describe getting out the +scrabble set and playing alien scrabble and that sort of stuff.. they +don't describe sitting down for a royal meal .. and they don't +describe watching tv with the boys. There is a whole range of things +that are never, ever described. What ~is~ described is very, ~very~ +narrow, and very, very structured. You have to go where the evidence +leads you. I think that people are actually describing experiences +that have befallen them. I think that aliens are in fact taking human +beings..... I must say Jay, (Jay Ingram - program host) that I don't +like this business. I find it extremely disturbing, very depressing. I +wish that I had not found this and I wish that ~all~ researchers had +not found this. But we have found it.

Mack, a +Harvard Medical School psychiatrist who has studied some 50 +self-proclaimed abductees and conducts monthly support-group +meetings for them. "These are people who have no reason to +lie, and they've come forth with great reluctance." +Strange as it may sound, Dr. Mack and fellow conference +leader Dr. David E. Pritchard of MIT, are only two of the +academics studying accounts of kidnappings by aliens +these days. +"Many great ideas sound offbeat at the beginning," says +Malkah Notman, acting head of Harvard's psychiatry department +at Cambridge Hospital in Massachusetts. +Just how many people may have been abducted by +extraterrestrials? One of every 50 American adults -- some +3.7 million people -- may have had an abduction experience +with an unidentified flying object, according to Roper +Organization polls sponsored by the Intruders Foundation and +the Fund for UFO Research. +In Philadelphia, Temple University history professor David +M. Jacobs is making the talk-show rounds with self-described +abductees to plug his new book, "Secret Life." It puts +abduction cases into a "theoretical framework" by finding +such common threads as "physical probing, alien bonding and +the breeding program." +Of course, most academics scoff at the notion of +abductions by extraterrestrials. "There's no evidence that +even a grand jury in a D.A.'s pocket would take seriously +that UFOs have visited the Earth, much less abducted +somebody," says Timothy Ferris, a science writer and +professor at University of California at Berkeley. +"There is some concern," says Harvard's Dr. Notman, "but +by and large I think the {psychiatry} department feels it's +useful to encourage creative work, as long as it doesn't get +in anybody's way or do any harm." +Temple University even lets Dr. Jacobs teach a course +called "UFOs in American Society." "Temple believes in +academic freedom," says Dr. Jacobs. "Besides, I ALSO HAVE +TENURE, SO THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT." +This Sunday night, in a close encounter of the Hollywood +kind, a new U.S. television miniseries called "Intruders" +promises to heighten awareness of the subject. The CBS +program is about a fictional psychiatrist who helps people +overcome the trauma of abductions by extraterrestrials. The +familiar-sounding character is based on Dr. Mack. And the +abductees are based on people who claim they were abducted, +such as Randy Nickerson, a 24-year-old mechanic in +Massachusetts, who warns in commercials for the show: "You've +got no place to hide." +Indeed, Dr. Mack says the show could set off a "War of the +Worlds" type of hysteria, as unsuspecting viewers suddenly +start remembering past abduction episodes. +"I'm quite concerned about the miniseries," says Dr. Mack. +"I told CBS I'd be willing to be listed on the show" to help +viewers through any trauma. The network DECLINED THE OFFER. +"I think it's a DISASTER IN THE MAKING," adds Dr. +Pritchard, as he sits peeling an orange with a razor blade. +The career of Dr. Mack, a 35-year veteran of Harvard's +psychiatry department, has been peppered with projects that +aren't in the mainstream, including studies of the psychology +of nuclear war. But none has been so out-of-this-world as his +work with people claiming to have been kidnapped by little gray +humanoids. +It all started when a psychologist friend in New York +suggested that Dr. Mack meet Budd Hopkins, a Manhattan +ARTIST. When Mr. Hopkins isn't busy creating large geometric +paintings he calls "guardians," he hypnotizes people to +recapture their past experiences with UFOs. +"I said to myself that if he believes this is real, +there's got to be something wrong with him," recalls Dr. +Mack. +HELEN WHEELS, 42, who sports a black leather jacket and +Harley-Davidson sweatshirt, says she had unexplained +nose-bleeds after a childhood encounter in which she was +strapped to a floating table and "had an implant put up the +right side of my nose" by alien medical technicians. She says +the implant later fell out. +Most professed abductees have little, if any, recollection +of their experiences, just vague notions that they have +experienced something traumatic. Only through hypnosis do +they reveal detailed accounts of close encounters. One of Dr. +Mack's patients had an odd memory about a large kangaroo that +visited her as a child; during hypnosis, that episode turned +into an alien abduction. +"Sometimes, the beings are represented as animals or +birds. You have to get into the shamanic interpretation," Dr. +Mack explains. +Many mental-health professionals are skeptical about such +regression hypnosis, claiming it is TOO EASY FOR A HYPNOTIST +TO LEAD THE SUBJECT ON WITH SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS. But UFO +researchers say it is the only way to unlock memories the +aliens have forced their victims to repress. +During a meeting of an abductee support group at Mr. +Hopkins's Manhattan studio, Mr. Nickerson is undergoing +hypnosis. Mr. Nickerson, one of Dr. Mack's subjects, returns +to an incident when he was nine years old. +"Bike trip to Aunt Hazel," he mumbles. "I tell my uncle +there's a flying saucer. Two people come down the hill. Dark. +Little. They take me in." +"What's it like inside?" asks Mr. Hopkins. +"Not supposed to tell. I'm scared," says Mr. Nickerson, +thrashing about. +"Do you like these people?" Mr. Hopkins asks. +"Uh uh," Mr. Nickerson responds. "They take me away and do +things." He is being strapped to an examining table, Mr. +Nickerson recounts. His captors are scraping skin samples and +sticking tubes into his right nostril and left ear. +Mr. Hopkins draws him out of the hypnotic state. Mr. +Nickerson awakens with tears in his eyes. "Those bastards," +he says. +"Nobody has a right to do any of this," Mr. Hopkins +assures him. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

What a beautiful area. It is +remote and would be a good spot to try and conceal something but I saw no +evidence to support the claims of the Phoenix report. Keep in mind that I was +there for only a short time (1 1/2 days) and I did not have the actual K2 +report with maps and descriptions of where EXACTLY the LZs, base, and +entrances were suppose to be. When I do get the report I will more than +likely make another trip out there just to satisfy my curiousity and keep this +thing from growing into something it probably isn't. + +I arrived in Quincy on Saturday at about 5:30am. I then proceeded into the +Plumas Nat'l Forest via the Quincy-La Porte Road. For the next five hours I +just drove around the dirt roads checking things out. There is road +construction in progress complete with earth movers, bulldozers, graters, and +dump trucks. It was a holiday so no constuction was going ons. The existing +dirt roads were eroded, and narrow in places so, IMHO, the construction was +not suspect. This area skirts the Feather River and some of its off-shoots +which is popular amoung trout fisherman. That may be one reason the roads are +being repaired. Also, it appeared that logging was prevelant in the area. +Since so much logging in various areas thoughout CA has been restricted I can +see logging interests putting in $$ to access areas where they are allowed to +harvest, which is what I think is happening. + +The roads are poorly marked and thus confusing to get around on. I looked for +most of that morning around the Pilot Peak area for the access road leading up +to the lookout station but could not find it. It is probably a four wheel +drive type road and thus not evident to the passer by, which I'm sure I did +several times. The tower placement on top of the mtn. is perfect. It's up +above everything and looks to offer a good view. I decided to hike up there. + +The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the area and skirts along the side of +Pilot Peak. The trail head is well marked at PP's base so I took it. The +trail was easy to follow and I took it up to the ridge where I cut off to get +to the lookout station. The last few hundred yards were VERY steep and strewn +with loose flagstone and gravel. On my approach I could hear voices (kids) +and then see some young people in the tower. They had left by the time I got +to the tower. It took three hours to get there and the view alone was worth +it. The station is abandoned and from markings in the cement appears to have +been constucted in 1976. It is very well built and offers an EXCELLENT view, +360 degrees, of the surrounding area. I can't imagine a better way to watch +the area then in that tower. Once up there I could see a dirt road coming up +the mtn and stopping about 100 yards down slope. The last part up to the +tower is 'feet only.' I seriously considered going down the road to find +where it cuts off from the main road below but daylight was running out. I +poked around a bit more, took some pictures and headed back down to the trail +I had come up on. + +When I got back I ate and by then it was dark so I drove out to a vista point +and watched the area for whatever. During the night I drove to different +points of view...and saw nothing unusual. The next morning I slept a bit then +hiked around PP area a bit more. + +From my cursory examination of the area I could not support the fantastic +claims made by The Phoenix Group. However, I did not have a magnetometer, +geiger counter, or any other sofisticated equipment. All I could do was +observe the area through an average persons eyes. I did that and saw nothing +except a beautifully remote area. + +The one odd thing I did see was at the Ranger Station in Quincy. As I entered +the parking lot there's a sign showing visitors where to park, employees +parking, and one that reads "F.S. Heliport NASA." I drove over to the +entrance to the "heliport" which had an open gate and a sign that read--"No +Trespassing $500 and/or 6 months Air Operations Restricted Area." I could +not see beyond the gate because of the forest and slope of the hill. I wasn't +sure if they enforced this notice but didn't want to find out right then. Why +would NASA have a heliport way out there? That I don't know and couldn't find +anyone to ask. + +I've been too long winded already...I will get the K2 Report, find specific +locations to search and look things over again.

Truman in 1947. Operation +Majestic-12, was created to take charge of the technical, +sociological and other aspects of the crashed UFOs and +the small alien occupants, dead or alive, that were +recovered. In later years this operation evolved into and +became known as MAJI (the Majority Agency for Joint +Intelligence). MAGI is the most secret of all +intelligence groups and out-ranks all other intelligence +agencies including the National Security Agency (NSA) and +the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). MAJI is +responsible directly and "only" to the President of the +United States. + +/ MAJIC / MAJI + + The TOP SECRET / MAJI project control group is +responsible for every aspect of interface with the alien +lifeforms including security and intelligence, and +disinformation to prevent public or foreign disclosure of +the alien presence. (This is why all documents referring +to "MJ-12" or any other form of that name are wrong). +MAJI is on-going in Washington DC. + + MAJIC: Is the security classification of all MAJI and +Aquarius information. MAJIC means "MAJI CONTROLLED." +MAJIC is the highest security classification in the +nation. + + MJ-1: DIRECTOR OF MAJI. The Director of the CIA is +usually MJ-1 and reports only to the President. Other +members of MAJI are designated MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, etc. +This is the reason MJ-12 cannot be used as a name for the +control group as it would cause confusion in meaning, +i.e., (Is it referring to MJ-12 the person or MJ-12 the +group.) Any reference to MJ-12 is to a person and +nothing else. References and documents referring to +"MJ-12" as a "Group" are incorrect. + + MAJI, originally was known as Majestic-12, a group +consisting of twelve members. This group was made up of +a team representing selected government officials, U.S. +intelligence personnel, highly trained scientists, +business executives and military personnel. All were +sworn to total secrecy. MAJI has continued its covert +activities with the knowledge and consent of the last +eight Presidents. (See Exhibit 1, part of the briefing +papers for president-elect Eisenhower.) + + The group continues to function today and has had the +responsibility of establishing an ongoing relationship +dating from 1964, with UFO beings (the Greys) from the +third planet of the star system Zeta Reticuli. + + Information forwarded to and the activity of MAJI has +always been assigned an Above "Top Secret +classification," known as MAJIC. MAJI, to conceal its +existence, adopted the cover name of "Majestic-12." It +created numerous covert and compartmented sub-divisions +such as Projects Aquarius, Sigma, Snowbird and Garnet, to +name a few. These projects were sheltered by MAJI and +directed by select personnel of the Central Intelligence +Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA). + + By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5410, Eisenhower +had preceded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent +committee to be known as Majority Twelve to oversee and +conduct all covert activities concerned with the alien +question. NSC 5412/1 was created to explain the purpose +of these meetings when Congress and the news media became +curious. Majority Twelve was made up of Nelson +Rockefeller, the director of the CIA Allen Welsh Dulles, +the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Secretary +of Defense Charles E. Wilson, the Chairman of the Joint +Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Director +of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, and six men from the +executive committee of the Council on Foreign Relations +known as the "Wise Men." These men were all members of a +secret society of scholars that called themselves "The +Jason Society," or "The Jason Scholars" who recruited +their members from the "Skull and Bones" and the "Scroll +and Key" societies of Harvard and Yale. + + The "Wise Men" were key members of the Council on +Foreign Relations. There were twelve members including +the first six from Government positions thus Majority +Twelve. This group was made up over the years of the top +officers and directors of the Council on Foreign +Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordon +Dean, George Bush, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among +them. The most important and influential of the "Wise +Men" who served on Majestic-12 were John McCloy, Robert +Lovett, Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan, +and Dean Acheson. It is significant that President +Eisenhower as well as the first six Majestic-12 members +from the Government were also members of the Council on +Foreign Relations.

It was not released for public distribution. There +are compelling reasons for making it public at this time, +and to update this information. Note the following: + + 1) In the last decade, there has been a growing number +of reports of hostile activity by alien beings, directed +against humanity. + + 2) Various Departments and Agencies of the United +States Government have increased their activity on two +different levels. + + One: They have stepped-up the level of their covert +dis-information campaign -- a campaign aimed at +disrupting the civilian UFO movement. This is evidenced +by an increasing quantity of dis-information supplied to +individuals, organizations and the public. It is an on- +going program to create wide-spread confusion throughout +the UFO movement, to splinter organizations, and to +discredit any investigators who get near the truth. Many +researchers are spinning-their-wheels chasing down, +deliberately planted, false leads. The tactics employed +are aimed at diverting attention away from critical areas +where the truth would be revealed. + + Trained operatives have infiltrated the UFO +movement, poising as sincere and trusted investigators +while others adopt the roles of professional skeptics and +debunkers. By covering and controlling both sides-of-the- +fence, they insure that the truth remains hidden. + + Two: This duplicity extends to their relations with +the aliens. On one hand they continue the charade of +working with and assisting the aliens -- to obtain the +advanced alien technology, while they secretly develop +operations and weapons systems to counter the threat the +aliens represent. + + The aliens have indulged in the same duplicity. Saying +one thing to the super-powers, to create an appetite for +superior technology, while carrying out their own covert +activities against humanity. They have created well- +hidden bases of their own. Bases that allow them to +continue their covert operations without government +interference or scrutiny. Bases unknown to the various +world governments. + + It would be untrue to say that the U.S. Government +doesn't suspect the existence of hidden alien bases. +However, to date, they have had shown little success in +locating them. + + It is not the intention or purpose of the Phoenix +Project to judge the government's actions or the actions +of those responsible and involved in the UFO coverup +activity. Our efforts are not part of a vindictive +crusade against the government. In our opinion, the +public has a right to know the facts and information +revealed by our investigations. If this proves to be an +embarrassment to those responsible for concealing such +information, they have only themselves to blame. + + Our efforts may help wiser heads in the government and +elsewhere, to realize that the aliens have hidden +objectives of their own. Objectives they have not made +known to the government and humanity. Wiser heads may +also realize that Washington, Langley and Fort Meade do +not have exclusive possession of that called +"intelligence" or intelligence data. Perhaps they will +finally recognize that "others" are able to obtain, +correlate and evaluate important information on their +own. A rational person might realize the value and +importance of cooperation with, rather than antagonism +against, others who possess valuable information. + + The objective of the Phoenix Project in making this +report public is to accomplish the following: + + 1) To reveal to the U.S. Government, civilian UFO +investigators and the public, the existence and location +of a hidden alien base. It will also become known that +the aliens have used, and are continuing to use, without +their knowledge or consent, personnel of the U.S. Forest +Service to help conceal the presence of this base. +Details concerning this are included in the updated +information supplement in the Exhibit Section of this +report. + + 2) Revealing the location of this base will render +it useless to the aliens. This will severely impact part +of their covert activity against humanity. + + 3) To reveal one aspect of the alien threat to the +public. + + +HOW THE INVESTIGATION BEGAN AND THE ALIEN BASE WAS +DISCOVERED + + The Phoenix Project investigation into this matter +began in early June of 1989. Our Staff Member # 2, then, +overheard a strange short-wave radio transmission that +aroused his interest. Every night, for two weeks, he +monitored this unique radio transmission. Then, using +radio direction-finding equipment, he was able to locate +the source of the transmission. By using triangulation +techniques he found the signal was coming from an area +some forty miles northeast of his location. + + On June 10, 1989, he recorded the strange radio +transmission. The broadcast signal lasted nearly an hour. +The recording was sent to the Project's Headquarters for +further analysis. Our analysis of the recording caused +the Project to launch a major investigation into this +matter. As a side project, our Staff decided to "test" +the current degree of government secrecy regarding UFO +research. We created a test. + +THE TEST + + Our staff contacted Dr. Peter Sturrock at Stanford +Research Institute in Palo Alto, California. Dr. Sturrock +enjoys a quiet reputation of being a "concerned" and +reliable UFO Researcher. We requested that he conduct a +further study and analysis of the recording. Dr. Sturrock +was very interested and cooperative -- at first. However, +very quickly, his attitude changed. Within a week, and +acting very reserved and guarded, he phoned us stating he +couldn't have anything further to do with this matter and +that Stanford Research could not analyze the recording. +No further explanation was offered. He suggested we take +the recording to Dr. James Harder at NASA's Ames Research +Center in Mountain View, California. We thanked Dr. +Sturrock for his initial interest and expressed our +regrets that he was unable to pursue the matter further. +In the next day's mail, we received the recording and our +analysis notes from Dr. Sturrock. + + A courier delivered the recording to NASA's Dr. +Harder, in person, the following day. A week later we +called to ask how the analysis was progressing. Dr. +Harder was not available when we phoned, but his +secretary could not recall having received any recording +from us. Therefore, there was nothing to analyze and they +were unable to assist us further. The tone of the +conversation was abrupt and had the ring of an obvious +dismissal. + + Fortunately, the "lost" recording was a copy and not +the original. It was becoming very obvious that Dr. +Sturrock and Stanford Research, and that Dr. Harder and +NASA, were not going to reveal what their analysis of the +recording revealed. Again, the official research +community had failed our "test." It was time to move on. + + Meanwhile, the Project's Staff decided to investigate +the location thought to be the source of the strange +radio transmission. + + On June 15, 1989, a Phoenix Project Survey Team made +a preliminary investigation to locate the site and origin +of the mysterious radio transmission. The site was +located and a preliminary investigation was completed. + + A second site survey and more detailed investigation +was conducted on June 28, 1989. The results of this +second survey prompted the need for an in-depth +scientific survey and investigation of the site. + + On July 19, 1989, the third survey was launched. A +well-equipped science and investigative team arrived at +the K-2 Site for a three-day effort. For security +reasons, at the time, the Phoenix Project assigned the +code name "K-2" to the site area and the investigative +effort. The results of all three site surveys and the +results of the investigation, were compiled the following +week. The following report reveals the details of that +investigation. + +Date of original report: July 28, 1989 + + Revised for updated information: June 22, 1992 + +K-2 -- A SPECIAL REPORT + +A SUMMARY OF FINDINGS + +GENERAL DESCRIPTION + + K-2 is the Phoenix Project code name for a specific +geographical site in Northern California. It has been +determined, by investigation, that this site is the +location of a previously unknown and undiscovered +extra-terrestrial (alien) installation and base of +operations. + + To date, the U.S. Government and its various +intelligence agencies has given no indication that they +are aware of the existence of the K-2 Alien Base or its +location. It is also unknown to the general public and to +leading UFO researchers. This report is the first time +its existence has been revealed. + + Alien spacecraft seen arriving and departing from this +base, and the small, grey, alien creatures seen at this +location, lead to the inescapable conclusion that this +base was built by, and is operated by, an alien race from +the star system Zeta Reticuli. This race, known in covert +government and select public circles, and to UFO +researchers, has been named the Greys. + +CONCEALMENT FEATURES + + The site of this secret alien base is within the +Plumas National Forest. The base is well-concealed and +hidden underground, inside a "land-mark" mountain -- +Pilot Peak, in northern California. This site is located +in Plumas County, on a remote and isolated stretch of +county road between the towns of La Porte and Quincy. See +Exhibit 1. + + The site is isolated and cut-off from general access, +except from the air or the use of snowmobiles, or ski's, +6 months of the year because of heavy snow conditions. A +well constructed and permanent "fire" lookout tower on +top of Pilot Peak (K-2) was suddenly abandoned several +years ago. Discussions with local U.S. Forest Rangers, +indicate there are no intentions of ever manning or +re-activating the fire lookout station. Budgetary +problems were not a factor. The explanation given, was +that the lookout was obsolete. Fire spotting, these days, +according to the rangers, is better accomplished by +patrolling aircraft. + + This explanation, (in 1989) seems suspect and +insubstantial, at best. Evidence to support these claims +are provided by the fact that other fire lookout +stations, in nearby areas, are operational and manned +throughout the peak summer fire season. Why is the K-2 +fire lookout an exception? + + An outstanding "air approach corridor," provides +incoming and outgoing alien spacecraft with exceptional +concealment. The "air corridor" leading to and from this +hidden base is, somehow, not covered by either military +or civilian radar or air traffic control. This has been +verified by examination of aeronautical charts of the +area. Terrain features, also, provide excellent +concealment from visual observation. See Exhibit 2. + +TERRAIN FEATURES OF THE SITE: + + The main area of the Alien base is a "U" shaped bowl +cradled at the northern end and at the foot of Pilot Peak +and its associated mountain ridges. The site is protected +on three sides by 400 to 600 foot mountain ridges. Two, +level terrain, landing zones 200 to 300 feet in diameter +are present. Well concealed and expertly camouflaged +entrances to the Alien base are located near each of the +landing zones. See Exhibit 3. + + High mountains and deep valleys, leading to and from +the open mouth of the "U" shaped site, provides a 20 mile +approach and departure corridor that is secure from +ground-based radar, civil or military. The deep valley +and canyons also prevent visual observation of low-flying +spacecraft. Visual observation from high-flying military +or civilian jet traffic is not likely, as the site is not +on or near an established air traffic route. See Exhibit +17. + +LANDING SITE EVIDENCE + + There are some physical indications present at both +landing sites, Landing Zone 1 and 2 (indentations in the +ground, large circular areas of flattened native grass, +and small amounts of residual radio-active radiation). +Most striking, however, is the fact that there is an +unusual absence of animal or rodent presence. There are +no animals; animal tracks, rodents, snakes, ground +squirrels or chipmunks present in or around the landing +sites. However, these creatures are present everywhere +else in the area. Birds, also present elsewhere, seem to +avoid flying over or through the landing areas. Insect +life, particularly flying insects -- deer flies, common +flies and mosquitoes, are present everywhere. Other +researchers have established the fact that the lack of +animal or rodent presence in UFO landing areas is +significant. + +AREA NEAR CONCEALED BASE + + To the casual observer visiting the K-2 site, +everything would appear quite normal. The area seems +peaceful and serene. However, in the general area of the +concealed Alien base, to an experienced observer, it +suggests and entirely different picture. The area is too +tranquil and perfect, both in appearance and in the +general atmosphere of the place. The term "picture +perfect" is appropriate. This setting is completely +unrealistic and paradoxical when compared with other +areas a mere half-mile away. + +SURVEY PARTY OBSERVATIONS + + On three occasions (in 1989) trained investigators of +the Phoenix Project have visited and investigated the K-2 +site. They have all experienced and observed unusual +phenomena and conditions in the area. + + 1) An uncanny stillness (the absence of normal sounds) +during the day. This was even more evident during the +hours of darkness. No animal sounds. No owls hooting. No +birds chirping. No cries from coyotes. The absence of +these normal sounds in the area was unsettling. This +phenomenon has been observed on every visit to this site. + + 2) All the investigators experienced independent and +unprompted feelings of being observed by unseen watchers. +This was particularly evident on the first visit to the +site. Each member of the survey party, independently, and +with no solicitation or prompting from each other, +reported, afterwards, strong feelings of being watched +and frequently they turned around to look behind them. +However, no unseen watchers were discovered. This left a +strong impression on the survey party. + + 3) On the first survey there were observations of +unusual cloud behavior. Clouds that formed out of +nowhere. Clouds that appeared and disappeared with sudden +quickness. Thick, angry looking, grey clouds that +billowed up in ominous manner, with a "boiling" and +rolling end-over-end motion, that quickly enveloped the +entire site area. Survey party members wondered if the +atmosphere was, somehow, being controlled. All of this +activity was confined to the K-2 site area. A half-mile +away, in any direction, the sky was clear. + + 4) Observations on the first and second visits to the +site, revealed that an earthen dike (erected to maintain +a 6 foot water level in a large pond near the concealed +secret base) had very recently, been deliberately +breached over a ten foot width, dropping the pond's water +level to a 6 inch depth. Shovel marks were evident in the +breach area. The lack of erosion, on the sides of the +breached area, indicated its recent nature. + + However, on the third visit this breach had been +expertly repaired. There were heavy equipment tracks (a +bulldozer's) in and around the dike. Earth, dug from a +nearby hill, was used to repair the dike. Forest Rangers, +who patrol the area several times each day, when +questioned about this, were at a loss to explain the +repairs. No one using heavy equipment had been observed +in the area. According to the Rangers, the pond is not +used for any known purpose -- yet it's there. Someone +recently breached it to lower the water level. Then, +someone, unknown and unobserved, repaired it. See Exhibit +15. + + Why the pond with no known purpose or function? Why +breach it? Why repair it? Why wasn't the use of heavy +equipment or the repairs, noticed by the patrolling +Rangers? It should be stated that the Rangers are very +observant and notice everything going on in their area, +as our questions revealed. Why is K-2, this Alien base, +seemingly, exempt? + + 5) The county road between the towns of La Porte and +Quincy is a rough, poorly maintained, dirt road for some +30 miles. Rough dirt roads are prevalent throughout the +area for miles in all directions. There are no towns, +settlements, fishing areas, camp grounds, or anything +else of significance, anywhere in the area near Pilot +Peak (K-2). This site is out in the middle of nowhere. +Yet -- the county road for 2-1/2 miles either side of the +entrance to the K-2 site, is a modern, well maintained, +black-topped, 2 lane highway. Before and after this 5 +mile stretch of modern road, it is again a dirt road. +Why? No one questioned by our investigators had any +explanation. And, more curiously, no one seemed the least +bit curious about it. Why? Refer to Exhibits 1 and 3. + + 6) There is a rough, hard-packed, dirt road leading +to K-2 from the town of La Porte. It is a narrow 2 lane +road. It is not frequently traveled. On the third visit +to the K-2 site, extraordinary logging activity, by "two" +major logging companies, were evident. Only the trees +within 20 feet on either side of this dirt road are being +cut and hauled to sawmills. When questioned, the loggers +were uncommunicative regarding this activity. However, +there is every reason to believe, from the nature of this +activity, that this road is going to be widened and +improved. Possibly, even black-topped. + + One must remember that this road is an obscure county +road that is infrequently used. It provides a secondary +connection between the two towns of La Porte and Quincy, +some thirty miles apart. Why the activity to widen and +improve it? Why improve a road that is hardly used by the +general public? + + It must be remembered that all these secondary county +roads are totally impassible, because of heavy snow, for +6 months of the year. No efforts are made during the +winter to keep them open and clear. In fact, just outside +of La Porte there is a heavy metal gate that is used to +block the road during the winter months. Why, then, all +this activity? What purpose is being served? + +METHODS USED TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE, LOCATION AND SIZE +OF THE ALIEN BASE + + Since the only way to conceal a large installation is +to bury it underground, or in the depths of an ocean, out +of sight, only certain types of sophisticated scientific +instruments can reveal the underground presence of such +an installation. Foremost among these instruments, is +that known as a portable "total field" magnetometer. This +instrument is widely used by professional geologists to +detect the presence of valuable underground minerals, +oil, and water deposits. It is also used by sophisticated +archaeologists to detect the remains of ancient buried +cities, caverns and other valuable sites of past +civilizations. + + A magnetometer is a precision instrument that measures +minute changes or deviations in the Earth's magnetic +field within a given area. All geological features: +mountains, lava beds, rivers, streams and lakes, plains, +meadows and plateaus, and even grains of sand, +eventually, over thousands of years, align their +molecular magnetic structure with the prevailing +direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Earthquakes, +volcanoes and geological up-thrusts, and their resultant +forces, in creating all geological formations, cause +deviations in an area's basic magnetic pattern. +Underground geological features such as: upthrust dikes, +sheer planes, faults, mineral deposits, caverns, caves, +tombs, rivers and lakes, etc., and other anomalies, leave +their characteristic and recognizable magnetic +signatures. + + In a like manner, any underground excavations, +tunneling or shafts, create a deviation from the normal +patterns prevalent in a given area. Such underground +construction activity disturbs the local magnetic field +in the area. This disturbance is caused by the material +excavated or otherwise moved. The magnetometer can, by +noting the strength of such deviations and disturbances, +then determine the location, shape, size and depth of +such buried features and anomalies. + + Sophisticated computer programs can then analyze the +information reported by this instrument and create +statistical data, charts, plots and maps, which portray +the underground features of an area in amazing detail. +The magnetometer, in a sense, is similar to having a form +of powerful x-ray vision that is capable of looking deep +within the earth. + + For three days starting on July 19, 1989, a portable +total-field magnetometer was used by the Phoenix +Project's scientific survey team to conduct a magnetic +mapping of highly suspect areas of the K-2 site. + + The presence of our survey teams aroused intense +curiosity on the part of the U.S. Forest Service and +their Rangers. The first day, several different Rangers +questioned us intensely. They asked us who we were, what +we were doing, how long we would be in the area, where we +came from, etc. We had prepared plausible answers to such +questions in advance of being questioned. Our answers +seemed to satisfy their initial curiosity. However, the +second and third day of our presence on the site, brought +the Rangers out in force. Hardly an hour would pass +before a different Ranger or pair of Rangers would appear +and start the questions all over again. They seemed +determined to find out exactly who we were, why we were +there, what we were doing, and why we were doing it, etc. +Some of the Rangers stayed a while and became interested +in the scientific equipment and its operation. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

These were designed for a ground landing, +the shape is similar, and the Russians flew several varients of the SOYUZ as +moonships (called ZOND), biological research satellites (COSMOS, but that's a +generic name for almost anything they launch), and more significantly, as spy +satellites. The Soviet Union figured out that economy of scale paid off where +their space program was concerned and utilized the same basic designs for +years. They still launch SOYUZ-class vehicles to rendevous with MIR. + What I think happened, and this is just a conjecture, a SWAG if you +will, is that either the DIA or the NSA figured out the command sequences for a +Soviet spy satellite.

Klass 404 "N" St. Southwest +Washington D.C. 20024 + + + +This is in response to your query about whether Stanton T. +Friedman did indeed "win" $1,000 from me because he was +correct and I was wrong about one detail of an "MJ-12" +related memo allegedly written by President Eisenhower's +aide, Robert Cutler to Gen. Nathan Twining, on July 14, +1954, which William L. Moore and Jaime Shandera claim to +have discovered in the National Archives. + +Yes, I paid Friedman $1,000 because he was correct and I was +wrong. The money came from the interest earned on $1,000 +Friedman had earlier paid me. Here is the full story that +Friedman never reveals. (It may be reproduced without +permission.) + + As a boy in Iowa, we had a useful expression: "Talk is +cheap; put your money where your mouth is." A friend might +claim he could run around the block in 2 minutes. Bet him a +dime he couldn't--and if he really believed in his claim, he +would accept the wager. I have found this is a most useful +technique in my many years in the UFO field to determine if +there is "adverse evidence". + + In fact, I used it during my very first contact with +Friedman, around 1967. He had published a Letter-to-the- +Editor in the American Instit. of Aeronautics & Astronautics +journal, claiming there was overwhelming evidence that UFOs +were ET craft. I promptly sent Friedman a copy of my +$10,000 Contract to determine if he believed his claim was +true and to learn what that evidence was. + + Under the terms of this contract, I agree to pay the +other person $10,000 if/when any hard, incontrovertible +evidence is found which shows that the Earth has been +visited by one (or more) ET craft. (The other party does +not need to find the evidence.) The other party agrees to +pay me $100 per year until such evidence is found, but with +a limit/maximum of 10 years of payments. Thus, the maximum +the other party risks is $1,000. Friedman rejected my $10K +offer as "ridiculous." + + In my second UFO book, "UFOs Explained," I briefly +discussed my $10,000 offer and noted that Friedman (among +others) had refused to sign up. I noted that the most +Friedman risked losing was $1,000--which was the fee he +typically was paid for giving a single one-hour lecture +"Flying Saucers ARE Real." A few months after this book was +published, Friedman and I appeared on a syndicated talk show- +-pre-taped in Detroit. During the taping, Friedman whipped +out a crisp $100 bill and announced he was accepting my $10K +offer. I promptly sent him the one-page contract which he +signed. During the subsequent nine years, Friedman made his +annual payments and as of early 1984, Friedman had paid me a +total of $1,000. Although I did not put Friedman's payments +into a special "Escrow" account, if I had done so, the +compounded interest I earned on Friedman's money would have +totalled slightly more than $1,000 as of 1989. + + So much for background. One of the two MJ-12 documents +made public by William L. Moore, Jaime Shandera and Stanton +Friedman in the spring of 1987 purports to be a document +prepared in November 1952 by Rear Adm. Roscoe H. +Hillenkoetter to brief President-elect Eisenhower on UFOs +and crashed saucers. (Hillenkoetter had been director of +the CIA from 1947 to 1950.) + + Christopher Allan, a British UFOlogist, first called my +attention to a very unusual date-format used in this +briefing document--a hybrid of civil and military format. I +discovered that only one other person consistently used this +same unusual date-format in his correspondence: William L. +Moore, who released the MJ-12 papers. Another anomaly in +the briefing document allegedly written by Hillenkoetter was +that he referred to himself as "Adm. Hillenkoetter," rather +than "Rear Adm. [or Radm] Hillenkoetter," which implied he +was a four-star (full) admiral rather than a two-star. + + So I requested the Truman Library to send me copies of +letters which Hillenkoetter had written as CIA director to +determine if he consistently used this unusual date-format +and if he correctly identified his rank as Rear Admiral. In +every one of the letters I received, Hillenkoetter used the +traditional military date-format and he correctly showed his +rank as Rear Admiral. Furthermore, from these authentic +archival letters I discovered that he never signed his +letters using his first name "Roscoe." Instead he always +used his initials: "R.H." Yet in the MJ-12 briefing +document which Hillenkoetter allegedly wrote, he used +"Roscoe." + + And so on Oct. 30, 1987, using my old "put your money +where your mouth is" approach, I offered Friedman the +opportunity to win many thousands of dollars. I offered to +pay Friedman $2,000 for each and every authentic letter +written by Hillenkoetter while he was at the CIA IF the +letter used the unusual MJ-12 date-format and if it was +signed "Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter," providing Friedman agreed +to pay me 1/5th that amount ($400) for every Hillenkoetter +letter I could supply which did not use the unusual date- +format and which was signed with his initials. + + Thus, if Hillenkoetter used the "MJ-12 format" in even +one out of every four letters he wrote, Friedman could win +some of my money. Friedman promptly rejected my generous +offer in his letter of Nov. 5, 1987. So I sent him a +slightly revised version on Nov. 10 which he also rejected +on Nov. 19. (Copy of my offer and Friedman's comments are +enclosed.) + + Now for the $1,000 wager that Friedman did accept, and +which he won. On Jan. 16, 1989, based on a modest sample of +letters written by Robert Cutler which I had obtained from +the Eisenhower Library, I had reason to believe that the +typewriters in Cutler's office all used the "elite" (small) +typeface then used for many executives. But the Cutler memo +which Moore/Shandera claimed to have found in the National +Archives used the larger "pica" typeface. Further, I had +learned that Cutler could not possibly have written the memo +to Gen. Twining on July 14, 1954, because Cutler was out of +the country on official business on that date. + + If all of the typewriters in Cutler's office used pica +type, that would be further evidence that the July 14 memo +was a counterfeit. So, on Jan. 16, 1989, I challenged +Friedman on this issue and offered to pay him $100 for each +letter written by Cutler during this same time period which +he could find which "uses a typeface identical in size and +style to that used in the alleged Cutler/Twining memo of +July 14, 1954." (Fortunately for me, I set an upper limit +of $1,000 on my payments.) Friedman did come up with +several dozen Cutler letters with pica typeface. + + I might have quibbled over whether their typeface was +"identical in style," but I opted to promptly pay off and +sent him my check for $1,000. My payment to Friedman +represented the interest I had earned on his earlier $1,000 +payment to me under our $10,000 contract. + + More recently, I extended a similar challenge to +Friedman under which he could win another $1,000 while +risking only $100 of his own--a challenge he declined to +accept. The recent crashed-saucer book co-authored by +Friedman and Don Berliner ["Crash at Corona"] features the +tale of Gerald F. Anderson who claims that in 1947 he and +four other members of his family (all now deceased) stumbled +onto a crashed saucer on the Plains of San Agustin in New +Mexico. Anderson claimed that his family was soon joined by +a group of archaeologists headed by a Dr. Buskirk. Despite +the fact that Anderson was only 5 years old at the time of +the alleged incident and the 40+ years which had elapsed, he +was able to reconstruct Dr. Buskirk's appearance with the +aid of techniques used by the police to reconstruct the +appearance of a criminal. + + Thanks to a painstaking investigation, UFOlogist Tom J. +Carey managed to locate Dr. Buskirk who closely resembled +Anderson's sketch but who flatly denied Anderson's tale. +Buskirk had hard evidence to show that he was hundreds of +miles away from the Plains of San Agustin at the time of the +alleged crashed saucer incident. However, Carey learned +that Buskirk had been a teacher at the Albuquerque, N.M. +high school in the late 1950s when Gerald F. Anderson had +taken a course in anthropology which Buskirk taught. Yet +Anderson claimed that he had never seen Dr. Buskirk since +the crashed-saucer incident in 1947. + + When skeptical investigators tried to obtain a copy of +Anderson's high school records to see if he had taken a +course in anthropology (under Buskirk), Anderson instructed +school officials not to release his records. Anderson then +released what he claimed to be a photocopy of his school +records which seemed to show he had not taken a course in +anthropology. But there were suspicions that the record +that Anderson made public might have been "doctored." + + On Aug. 8, 1992, I sent Friedman a Memorandum of +Agreement dealing with this key issue which could reveal +whether Anderson had resorted to falsehood and altering of +evidence. My memo noted this issue could be resolved "if +Anderson will request and authorize the present Principal of +the Albuquerque High School, or the Superintendent of +Schools, to carefully examine the transcript of Anderson's +high school records and issue a public statement that +Anderson did, or did not, take a course in anthropology." + + I offered to pay Friedman $1,000 if Anderson would +provide me with a notarized statement authorizing such +action by Albuquerque school officials, while Friedman would +pay me $100 if Anderson refused to take such action. +Friedman never responded. (Within nine months, Friedman and +Berliner publicly acknowledged that Anderson "can no longer +be seen as sufficiently reliable." But they added that this +"does not mean that everything reported by Gerald Anderson +is without value.") + +======================================= + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Specifically, +Klass contends that Rogers was too far behind on his contract to be able to +complete it by the deadline, which had already been extended once. +Therefore, says Klass, Rogers cooked up a UFO hoax in order to qualify for a +default termination, in which case he would receive his 10% retention and be +done with the whole deal. + +Ancillary to this is Klass' contention that Rogers was deliberately +deceiving the US Forest Service, because he was "moonlighting" on the +contract, trying to complete two other contracts at the same time without +the Forest Service's knowledge. + +In a personal letter to me on May 4, 1993, Klass wrote the following and +asked me to pass it on to Tracy Torme for comment. I told him I would +bypass Torme and send it directly to Rogers. + +<< ...On Oct. 16, 1975, US Forest Service inspector Tom Hentz reported to +Contracting Officer Maurice Marchbanks that Mike Rogers had used up +approximately 80% of his contract-extension time but had completed only +37% of the 353 acres under contract. Further, Hentz told Marchbanks that +Rogers could not possibly complete his con- tract work assignment by the +deadline of Nov. 10. + +Four days later, on Oct. 20, 1975, Rogers wrote a letter to Marchbanks +which said (in part): + + "I am writing to tell you personally of our progress on the + Turkey Springs thinning. I cannot honestly say whether or not + we will finish on time. However, _we are working every day_ + with as much manpower as I can hire..." (Emphasis added here + [PK].) + +I invite you to send the enclosed photocopy of this letter to Tracy Torme +and seek his answer to the following question: + + _Was Rogers being truthful when he informed the Forest Service + on Oct. 20 that "we are working every day" or was he resorting + to intentional falsehood?_ + +>> + +According to Rogers, Klass is attempting to demonstrate that Rogers was +engaging in deception because he had NOT been working every day on the +contract, since he had two other contracts to complete. But, Rogers says, +they HAD completed the other contracts by October 20 and were indeed +starting to devote full time to the Turkey Springs contract. + +But did the Forest Service know about the other two contracts? First of all, +says Rogers, there is no question of deception, since he is not under any +obligation to inform the Forest Service about other contracts he may be +performing. But second, and more damaging to Klass' case, the answer is +yes, the Forest Service had been informed. Rogers had told Tom Hentz of the +other contracts, and felt no compunction to also so inform Marchbanks, who +was Hentz' subordinate. + +As a final flourish, Rogers adds that Klass should ask Marchbanks if he at +any time felt deceived by Rogers' Oct. 20 letter. + +********** + +ADDENDUM: + +The above was sent to Phil Klass as is. Subsequently (but prior to my +receiving Klass' response), Mike Rogers provided me with two minor +corrections. First, Marchbanks was Hentz' superior, not subordinate. Second, +Rogers did not tell Hentz verbally about the other two contracts. He told +him about one of them, and assumed he knew about the other, since there was +paperwork on it in the Forest Service Inspector's office, and it was Hentz' +job to know about such things. + +Klass' response will follow, to be followed by more comments from Mike, and +some of my own observations. + +Jim + + +Philip J. Klass 404 "N" St. Southwest Washington D.C. 20024 + + +Here are my comments on Mike Rogers' statements contained in your letter of +July 12, 1993: + +(1) Rogers now claims that he and his crew "HAD completed the other [two +"moonlighting"] contracts by October 20 and were indeed starting to devote +full time to the Turkey Springs contract." + +PJK comment: But in Rogers' letter of April 19, 1977, to APRO's Jim Lorenzen +Rogers wrote: "Between 10/16/75 and 10/28/75 [the date of inspector Hentz' +next visit] the inspectors (sic) diary clearly shows we lost 3-1/2 days one +week alone due to some unfortunate circumstances. The 1/2 day accounts for +the other 4 acres [which were completed at Turkey Springs between 10/16/75 +and 10/28/75] The other 8 days were spent [working] on another job..." +(Emphasis supplied) + +If Rogers was being truthful in his April 19 letter to Lorenzen, between +Oct. 16 and Oct. 28 "8 days were spent on another job." If one makes the +most favorable assumption for Rogers, those 8 days were Oct. 16 to Oct. 24. +Thus, on the night of Oct. 20, when Rogers wrote contracting officer +Marchbanks in regard to his Turkey Springs contract and told him: "We are +working every day with as much manpower as I can hire," ROGERS WAS TELLING A +BIG FAT LIE. + +(2) Rogers claims he "had told [inspector] Tom Hentz of the other contracts +[NOTE PLURAL], and felt no compunction to also so inform Marchbanks, who was +Hentz subordinate." + +PJK Comment: On the evening of July 11, 1976, during a telephone +conversation with Rogers (which we both tape recorded by advance agreement), +he accidentally let slip that the real reason he was so far behind on his +Turkey Springs contract was that he and his crew were moonlighting on two +other jobs. When I asked if contracting officer Marchbanks knew that Rogers +was working these two other jobs and was not working Turkey Springs full +time, as he claimed in his 10/20/75 letter, he said he assumed that +Marchbanks knew about one of the moonlighting jobs because Rogers claimed +that inspector Hentz knew. I told Rogers I planned to call Marchbanks the +next morning to find out. + +If, as Rogers now claims, he "felt no compunction to also so inform +Marchbanks," why did Rogers get up very, very early the next morning (July +12) and drive 60 miles to Springerville so he could inform Marchbanks before +I called? When I called, Marchbanks told me "I was not aware of it until +this morning." And Rogers did NOT tell Marchbanks about his SECOND +moonlighting job, only ONE. + + CONCLUSION TO KLASS' MAY 4 QUESTION AND HIS JULY 17 COMMENTS + FROM MICHAEL H. ROGERS + +Philip Klass' foregoing comments have once again given us an excellent +example of his true modus operandi - to falsify documents and generate +outright fabrications in a loathsome attempt to cover up the real truth +about our experience. + +A skeptic is one who has the right to disbelieve in things which can not +actually be proven to exist.

Displaying his right as a +citizen of a free country, and from the lure of his own desire, he has come +right out on a couple of occasions and stated that he is not sure he can +actually believe in extraterrestrial visitors, but he fully acknowledges, in +the same sentence, that the documentation as a whole proves that we are +telling the truth and honest in all the surrounding issues, and that Philip +Klass is quite obviously a dishonest skeptic.

I have been flying cargo DC-8's 3 weeks on +and 1 week off is the reason for the delay. I also don't check +in with Compuserve very often. + +The Krill papers were written by John Grace. At the time he +wrote them he was with the Air Force stationed at Nellis Air +Force base and wanted to distribute the Krill papers but not +under his name. I suggested the name KRILL which was an inside +joke on the name CRLLL which was the name of one of the ET's +first contacted by the Navy (see UFO's Are Real). John then +added the initials O. H. which had no particular significance. + +When Bill Cooper and I were doing an interview with PM Magazine +he told the producer that he had read the Krill papers while in +the Navy and that O.H. stood for Original Hostage. I took Bill +privately aside and told him that O.H. Krill was a name made up +by John and myself in jest, so that he could release the papers +not using his name. In my subsequent interview with George Knapp +I told him that O.H. Krill was a "joke", meaning the name was +a joke not the papers, and that it was impossible for Bill to +have seen them in the Navy in 1970. It has been a long time +since I read the Krill papers so I don't remember what was in +them but I believe John was sincere and that they included his +speculation. I did not mean that they were a hoax. Further, I +have not participated in any hoax, although in 1987 I was +approached by Jim Speiser to hoax an alien encounter to lure the +government into a trap. I declined to participate in any manner. + +I recently saw a Russian spy sattelite photo taken of the +Groom/Papoose Lake in July of 1988 about 9 am in the morning. It +clearly shows a disc about 60 feet in diameter, several hundred +feet in the air, near the Papoose Dry lake where Bob Lazar said +he worked for the Dept. of Naval Intelligence on highly advanced +extraterrestrial spacecraft. Since the Russians use film instead +of digital imaging, it is highly unlikely that this is a hoax. + +As you know, I flew contract missions for the CIA and have taken +a lot of flak over that association. Nevertheless, I stand by +and fully believe the Bob Lazar story as told by Bob, Gene Huff +and myself. It is not important to me whether or not anybody +believes it. I believe it to be the truth. Some speculate that +Bob is just a very bright guy and reads Scientific American. Let +the record show that Bob was the first to talk about the +Instantaneous Propagation of Gravity, the gravity A and B wave, +the increasing stability of elements of elements up to 115, the +instabilty of 116, the accessibility and amplification of the +gravity A wave from element 115 and the nature of space travel +many times faster than the speed of light. I would ask any +interested parties to show me which issue of Scientific American +or any other Scientific journal for that matter to specifically, +with the possible exception of the stabilty of the elements, make +these statements. + +On another note, Timothy Good accused me of "admitting" that some +of my sources "have proved to be completely unreliable" and that +I made "wild and exaggerated statements" (Alien Liaison, Timothy +Good, Pg. 19). I categorically deny that I ever made that +statement and asked for a retraction from Good. He promised that +this would be corrected in the US version of Alien Liaison called +Alien Contact. The correction was not made. I asked Timothy +what sources he considered completely unreliable. He said Bill +Cooper and Paul Bennewitz. I told him that Bill Cooper was never +a source for anything and that, in fact, I had Fedexed all of MY +information to Cooper in late 1987 before Cooper made any public +satement.

Stefula, Richard D. Butler, and George P. Hansen + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + ABSTRACT: Budd Hopkins has made a number of public presentations of a + purported UFO abduction case with multiple witnesses. The primary + abductee is Linda Napolitano, who lives in an apartment building on the + lower east side of Manhattan (New York City). She claims to have been + abducted by extraterrestrial aliens from her 12th floor apartment in + November 1989. It is claimed that three witnesses in a car two blocks + away observed Linda and alien beings float out of a window and ascend + into a craft. One alleged witness was United Nations Secretary General + Javier Perez de Cuellar. It is also claimed that a woman on the Brooklyn + Bridge observed the abduction. Linda has reported nose bleeds, and one + X-ray displays an implant in her nose. + + To date, Hopkins has provided no full, detailed written report, but he + did publish a couple five page articles in the September and December + 1992 issues of the Mufon UFO Journal and made a presentation at the 1992 + MUFON symposium. We have made use of that information as well as records + from other presentations, and we have interviewed the abductee. A number + of serious questions arose from our examination. The case has many + exotic aspects, and we have identified a science fiction novel that may + have served as the basis for elements of the story. + + Several prominent leaders in ufology have become involved, and their + behavior and statements have been quite curious. Some have aggressively + attempted to suppress evidence of a purported attempted murder. The + implications for the understanding of ufology are discussed. + + Budd Hopkins is the person most responsible for drawing attention to the + problem of the extraterrestrial (ET) abduction experience. His efforts + have been instrumental in stimulating both media attention and + scientific research devoted to the problem. He has written two popular + books (Missing Time, 1981, and Intruders, 1987), established the + Intruders Foundation, and has made innumerable appearances at + conferences and in the media. + + Although Hopkins is neither a trained therapist, an academic, nor a + scientist, he has involved such people in his work. John E. Mack, M.D., + a Pulitzer Prize winner and former head of the psychiatry department at + Harvard Medical School, has praised Hopkins' work and acknowledged his + indebtedness to him (Mack, 1992a, 1992b). Hopkins has collaborated with + university professors in co-authoring an article in the book Unusual + Personal Experiences (1992), which was sent to 100,000 mental health + professionals. He has testified as an expert witness at a hearing + regarding the medical competence of a physician who claims to have been + abducted (McKenna, 1992). Because of such strong endorsements and + impressive affiliations, and because of his untiring work on behalf of + abductees, Hopkins has become the single most visible figure in the UFO + abduction field. His contributions, positive or negative, will be + quickly noticed by those inside and outside ufology. + + Last year, Hopkins made a number of public presentations about a + spectacular UFO abduction case occurring in November 1989 and having + multiple witnesses. The primary abductee was Linda Napolitano, a woman + living on the 12th floor of a high-rise apartment building in lower + Manhattan (New York City) [Hopkins has previously used the pseudonym + "Linda Cortile" in this case]. It is claimed that three witnesses in a + car two blocks away observed Linda and three ET aliens emerge from a + window and ascend into a craft. Further it is claimed that a woman who + was driving across the Brooklyn Bridge also saw the event. + + The case has generated enormous interest and drawn international + attention. It has been discussed in the Wall Street Journal (Jefferson, + 1992), Omni (Baskin, 1992), Paris Match (De Brosses, 1992), the New York + Times (Sontag, 1992), and Hopkins and Napolitano have appeared on the + television show Inside Edition. The Mufon UFO Journal labeled it "The + Abduction Case of the Century" (Stacy, 1992, p. 9). Even the technical + magazine ADVANCE for Radiologic Science Professionals carried a + discussion of Linda's nasal implant (Hatfield, 1992). We should expect + continuing coverage of the affair not only in the UFO press but also in + the major media. + + In a short article previewing his 1992 MUFON symposium presentation, he + wrote: "I will be presenting what I believe to be the most important + case for establishing the objective reality of UFO abductions that I + have yet encountered" (Hopkins, 1992, p. 20). During his lecture at the + symposium he stated: "This is probably the most important case I've ever + run into in my life" (tape recorded, July 1992). In his abstract for the + Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abduction Study Conference held in + June 1992 he wrote: "The importance of this case is virtually + immeasurable, as it powerfully supports both the objective reality of + UFO abductions and the accuracy of regressive hypnosis as employed with + this abductee." Because of Hopkins' renown, and because of his + evaluation, this case warrants our careful scrutiny. + + + THE AUTHORS' INVOLVEMENT + + + The first two authors had learned of the case before Hopkins had spoken + publicly of it, and they decided to monitor its progress. They regularly + briefed the third author as their investigation progressed. As the + affair became publicized, all three became concerned about the long term + effect it might have on abduction research. + + For several years Richard Butler attended Hopkins' informal meetings + organized for abductees and abduction researchers. Butler became + familiar with the case during those meetings, and he invited Stefula to + a gathering in early October 1991. At the meeting, Hopkins outlined the + case, and afterward, Stefula had a chance to chat with Linda about her + experiences. Butler and Stefula gave Linda their telephone numbers. She + was advised that if she needed any assistance she could contact them. + Stefula told her that he had numerous contacts in federal and state law + enforcement agencies that could be of aid to her. The same information + was provided to Hopkins. + + On January 28, 1992, Linda requested a meeting with Richard Butler, and + on February 1, 1992, Linda, Stefula and Butler met in New York City, and + Linda provided additional details about her experiences (described + below). During that meeting, she asked them not to inform Hopkins of + their discussions. At the 1992 MUFON convention in Albuquerque, New + Mexico in July, both Hopkins and Linda appeared on the podium and + presented the case. Stefula attended the convention and heard the talk, + and disturbing questions arose. Some of the statements directly + contradicted what Linda had earlier told Stefula and Butler. We + contacted Hopkins in an attempt to resolve these matters, but he + declined to meet with us, saying that he didn't want to discuss the case + until his book manuscript was submitted. Despite his initial reluctance, + eventually a meeting was arranged on October 3, 1992 at Hopkins' home, + and a few more details then emerged. + + + SUMMARY OF CASE + + In order to compile this summary of alleged events, we have relied upon + Hopkins' and Linda's talks from the podium of the 1992 MUFON symposium, + on our interviews with Linda, on Hopkins' talk at the Portsmouth, New + Hampshire UFO conference, September 13, 1992, and Hopkins' two five-page + articles in the September and December issues of the Mufon UFO Journal. + + In April 1989 Hopkins received a letter from Linda Napolitano, a + resident of New York City. Linda wrote that she had begun reading his + book Intruders and had remembered that 13 years earlier she had detected + a bump next to her nose. It was examined by a physician who insisted + that she had undergone nasal surgery. Linda claimed that she never had + such surgery, and she even checked with her mother, who confirmed that + impression. + + Hopkins took an interest in the case because there was a potential for + medical evidence and because Linda lived relatively close to Hopkins, + which facilitated their meeting. Linda visited Hopkins and discussed her + past experiences with him. She recalled some pertinent earlier events in + her life but believed that she was no longer directly involved with any + abduction phenomena. Linda then began attending meetings of Hopkins' + support group for abductees. + + On November 30, 1989, Linda called Hopkins and reported that she had + been abducted during the early morning hours of that day, and she + provided some details. A few days later, she underwent regressive + hypnosis, and Linda remembered floating out of her apartment window, 12 + stories above the ground. She recalled ascending in a bluish-white beam + of light into a craft which was hovering over the building. + + + Richard and Dan + + Over a year later (February 1991), Hopkins received a letter signed with + the first names, Richard and Dan. (We have no hard evidence that + "Richard" and "Dan" actually exist. In order to avoid overburdening the + reader, we will typically omit the word "alleged" when mentioning them.) + The letter claimed that the two were police officers who were under + cover in a car beneath the elevated FDR Drive between 3:00 and 3:30 a.m. + in late November 1989. Above a high-rise apartment building, they + observed a large, bright reddish-orange object with green lights around + its side. They wrote that they saw a woman and several strange figures + float out a window and up into the object. Richard and Dan said that + they had come across Hopkins' name and decided to write to him. They + went on to say that they were extremely concerned about her well being, + wanted to locate the woman, talk to her, and be assured that she was + alive and safe. The two also mentioned that they could identify the + building and window from which she emerged. + + After receiving the letter, Hopkins promptly called Linda and told her + that she might expect a visit from two policemen. A few days later, + Linda telephoned Hopkins to tell him that she had been visited by + Richard and Dan. When they had knocked on her door, introducing + themselves as police officers, she was not too surprized because she + reports that police frequently canvass her apartment complex looking for + witnesses to crimes. Even with Hopkins' prior call, she did not expect + Richard and Dan to actually appear. After they arrived and entered her + home, there was an emotional greeting, and they expressed relief that + she was alive. However, Richard and Dan were disinclined to meet with or + talk to Hopkins, despite the fact that they had written him earlier and + despite Linda's entreaties to do so. Richard asked Linda if it was + acceptable for them to write out an account of their experience and then + read it into a tape recorder. She agreed, and a couple weeks later + Hopkins received a tape recording from Richard describing their + experience. + + Some time thereafter, Hopkins received a letter from Dan giving a bit + more information. The letter reported that Richard had taken a leave of + absence because the close encounter had been so emotionally traumatic. + Dan also mentioned that Richard secretly watched Linda. (This + information is from Hopkins' oral presentation at the 1992 MUFON + symposium in Albuquerque. At the Portsmouth, New Hampshire conference, + Hopkins said that he had received a letter from Richard saying that Dan + was forced to take of leave of absence. It is not clear if Hopkins + misspoke at some point, or whether both individuals took leaves of + absence.) + + Hopkins received another letter from Dan which said that he and Richard + were not really police officers but actually security officers who had + been driving a very important person (VIP) to a helicopter pad in lower + Manhattan when the sighting occurred. The letter claimed that their car + stalled, and Richard had pushed it, parking it beneath the FDR Drive. + According to Dan, the VIP had also witnessed the abduction event and had + become hysterical. + + + The Kidnappings + + Linda claimed that in April of 1991 she encountered Richard on the + street near her apartment. She was asked to get into a car that Dan was + driving, but she refused. Richard picked her up and, with some struggle, + forced her into the vehicle. Linda reported that she was driven around + for 3 1/2 hours, interrogated about the aliens, and asked whether she + worked for the government. She also said that she was forced to remove + her shoes so they could examine her feet to determine whether she was an + ET alien (they later claimed that aliens lack toes). Linda did remember + another car being involved with the kidnapping, and under hypnotic + regression she recalled the license plate number of that car, as well as + part of the number of the car in which she rode. Hopkins reports that + the numbers have been traced to particular "agencies" (he gave no + further details). + + At the MUFON symposium, Linda was asked if she had reported the + kidnapping to the police. She said that she had not and went on to say + that the kidnapping was legal because it had to do with national + security. + + In conversations with Butler in early 1992, Linda had expressed concerns + about her personal safety. A meeting was arranged with Stefula because + of his background in law enforcement. During the afternoon and early + evening of February 1, the three met in New York City, and Linda + described further details of the kidnappings. + + She reported that on the morning of October 15, 1991, Dan accosted her + on the street and pulled her into a red Jaguar sports car. Linda + happened to be carrying a tape recorder and was able to surreptitiously + record a few minutes of Dan's questioning, but he soon discovered and + confiscated it. Dan drove to a beach house on the shore of Long Island. + There he demanded that Linda remove her clothes and put on a white + nightgown, similar to the one she wore the night of the abduction. He + said he wanted to have sex with her. She refused but then agreed to put + on the nightgown over her clothes. Once she did, Dan dropped to his + knees and started to talk incoherently about her being the "Lady of the + Sands." She fled the beach house, but Dan caught her on the beach and + bent her arm behind her. He placed two fingers on the back of her neck, + leading Linda to believe that it was a gun. He then forced her into the + water and pushed her head under twice. He continued to rave + incoherently, and as her head was being pushed under for the third time, + she believed that she would not come up again. Then, a "force" hit Dan + and knocked him back onto the beach. She started to run but heard a + sound like a gun being cocked. She looked back and saw Dan taking a + picture of her (Linda mentioned that pictures from the beach were + eventually sent to Hopkins). She continued running, but Richard appeared + beside her, seemingly out of nowhere. He stopped her and convinced her + to return to the beach house and told her that he would control Dan by + giving him a Mickey Finn. She agreed. Once inside, Richard put Dan in + the shower to wash off the mud and sand from the beach. This gave Linda + a chance to search the premises; she recovered her casette tape and + discovered stationery bearing a Central Intelligence Agency letterhead. + + In a brief conversation on October 3, 1992, Hopkins told Hansen that + Linda came to him shortly after she arrived back in Manhattan after the + kidnapping. She was disheveled, had sand in her hair, and was + traumatized by the experience. + + + Further Contacts with Richard and Dan + + During the February 1 meeting with Butler and Stefula, Linda reported + that she had met Richard outside a Manhattan bank on November 21, 1991. + He told her of Dan's deteriorating mental condition. During the + Christmas season, Linda received a card and a three page letter from Dan + (dated 12/14/91). The letter bore a United Nations stamp and postmark + (the UN building in New York has a post office which anyone can use). + Dan wrote that he was in a mental institution and was kept sedated. He + expressed a strong romantic interest in Linda. Some of his remarks + suggested that he wanted to kidnap her, take her out of the country, and + marry her; Linda seemed alarmed by this (she gave a copy of the letter + to Stefula and Butler). + + Linda also asserted that on December 15 and December 16, 1991, one of + the men had tried to make contact with her near the shopping area of the + South Street Seaport. He was driving a large black sedan with Saudi + Arabian United Nations license plates. During the first incident, to + avoid him, Linda reported that she went into a shop. The second day a + similar thing happened, and she stood next to some businessmen until he + left the area. + + + The Third Man + + At the February 1 meeting, Linda mentioned that Hopkins had received a + letter from "the third man" (the VIP), and she was able to repeat entire + sentences from this letter, seemingly verbatim. It discussed ecological + danger to the planet, and Linda indicated that aliens were involved in + ending the Cold War. The letter ended with a warning to Hopkins to stop + searching for "the third man" because it could potentially do harm to + world peace. + + Linda also related a few more details of her November 1989 abduction. + She said that the men in the car had felt a strong vibration at the time + of the sighting. Linda also claimed that in subsequent hypnotic + regressions she recalled being on a beach with Dan, Richard, and the + third man, and she thought somehow she was being used by the aliens to + control the men. She communicated with the men telepathically and said + that she felt that she had known Richard prior to the November 1989 + abduction, and she suggested that they possibly had been abducted + together previously. We also learned that the third man was actually + Javier Perez de Cuellar, at that time Secretary General of the United + Nations. Linda claimed that the various vehicles used in her kidnappings + had been traced to several countries' missions at the UN. + + At the Portsmouth, New Hampshire conference, Hopkins spoke of the third + man saying: "I am trying to do what I can to shame this person to come + forward." + + + Witness on the Brooklyn Bridge + + In the summer of 1991, a year and a half after the UFO abduction, + Hopkins received a letter from a woman who is a retired telephone + operator from Putnam County, New York (Hopkins has given this woman the + pseudonym of Janet Kimble). Hopkins did not bother to open the letter, + and in November 1991, he received another one from her marked on the + outside "CONFIDENTIAL, RE: BROOKLYN BRIDGE." The odd outside marking and + the fact that she had written two letters, seem to have raised no + suspicions in Hopkins' mind. The woman, a widow of about sixty, claimed + to have been driving on the Brooklyn Bridge at 3:16 a.m., November 30, + 1989. She reported that her car stopped and the lights went out. She too + saw a large, brightly lit object over a building; in fact, the light was + so bright that she was forced to shield her eyes, though she was over a + quarter mile away. Nevertheless, she claimed to have observed four + figures in fetal positions emerge from a window. The figures + simultaneously uncurled and then moved up into the craft. Ms. Kimble was + quite frightened by the event, and people in cars behind her were + "running all around their cars with theirs (sic) hands on their heads, + screaming from horror and disbelief" (quoted in Hopkins, 1992d, p. 7). + She wrote: "I have never traveled back to New York City after what I saw + and I never will again, for any reason" (Hopkins, 1992d, p. 5). Despite + her intense fear and all the commotion, she had the presence of mind to + rummage through her purse to find her cigarette lighter to illuminate + her watch in order to determine the time. + + Hopkins has interviewed this woman in person and over the phone. The + woman claimed to have obtained his name in a bookstore; she called the + Manhattan directory assistance for his telephone number and then looked + up his address in the Manhattan White Pages. She alleges that she was + reticent about speaking of the incident and had only told her son, + daughter, sister, and brother-in-law about the event. + + + The Nasal X-ray + + In November 1991 a doctor, whom Hopkins describes as "closely connected + with Linda," took an X-ray of Linda's head because she knew about the + story of the nasal implant and because Linda frequently spoke of the + problem with her nose. The X-ray was not developed immediately. A few + days later the doctor brought it to Linda but was very nervous and + unwilling to discuss it. Linda took it to Hopkins, who showed it to a + neurosurgeon friend of his. The neurosurgeon was astounded; a sizeable, + clearly non-natural object could be seen in the nasal area. Hopkins has + shown a slide of the X-ray during his presentations, and the implant is + strikingly apparent, even to a lay audience. The object has a shaft + approximately 1/4 inch long with a curly-cue wire structure on each end. + + + Other Unusual Aspects of the Case + + During our meeting with Linda on February 1, she gave us additional + miscellaneous details that might be pertinent. We were told that she + believed that she was under surveillance and described a light silver- + gray van that had parked near her apartment. She also claimed that she + had once been a professional singer and the lead on a hit record, but + she had lost her singing voice one day while in the shower. Linda + mentioned that she was given to understand that her blood was quite + unusual. A doctor had informed her that her red blood cells did not die, + but instead they rejuvenated. She wondered whether this might be due to + an alien influence; some time later she attempted to locate the doctor + but was unable to do so. Linda seemed to imply that she now believed + that she was part alien or somehow worked with the aliens. + + Linda also told us that she had an agreement with Budd Hopkins to split + equally any profits from a book on the case. + + + INITIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CASE + + There are a number of obvious but unanswered questions that raise + immediate doubts about the credibility of the case. + + The most serious problem is that the three alleged principal + corroborating witnesses (Richard, Dan, and Perez de Cuellar) have not + been interviewed face- to-face by Hopkins, although it has been over a + year and a half since initial contact with Hopkins and over three years + since the abduction. + + Richard and Dan allegedly met with Linda and have written letters to + Hopkins. Linda has a picture of Dan. Yet Dan and Richard refuse to speak + directly with Hopkins. No hard evidence confirms that Richard and Dan + even exist. + + Though they initially expressed extreme concern over the well being of + Linda, the alleged "Dan" and "Richard" waited more than a year before + contacting Linda and Hopkins. Why? Furthermore, they contacted Hopkins + before they visited Linda. How did this come about? After all, they knew + the location of Linda's apartment, so it would seem that they would have + had no reason to contact Hopkins. Why did they bother with him at all? + + The woman on the bridge said that before contacting Hopkins she only + discussed the matter with her son, daughter, sister and brother-in-law. + Why didn't she contact other UFO investigators? Why only Hopkins? If + there is some unclear reporting on this point and she did actually + contact others, can such be verified? Has there been any investigation + of this woman such as checking with her neighbors, friends, family, or + previous employers? What is her background? Has she had any previous + relationship with Linda? These questions have not been addressed, and + thus the credibility of the only directly interviewed, corroborating, + first-hand witness remains in doubt. + + Dan has spent time in a mental institution. Richard suffered extreme + emotional distress, forcing him to take a leave of absence from his job. + Assuming that these two people actually exist, one must now be careful + in accepting their claims (even if offered in good faith). Despite their + debilitating mental problems, at least one of them was allowed to drive + a car with UN license plates. Are we really to believe that they + returned to active duty in a sensitive position (presumably carrying + firearms) and were given use of an official car? + + Who was the doctor who took the X-rays? We are only told that this + person is closely connected with Linda. Why isn't a formal report + available? Given the alarming nature of the outcome, why wasn't there an + immediate examination? Linda said that the doctor was "nervous" and + didn't want to talk about the X- ray. It is not clear whether Hopkins + has ever met this alleged doctor. Instead, Hopkins showed the X-ray to a + friend of his. Some have speculated that Linda may have simply put some + small object in her nose and had a friendly X-ray technician assist. We + have seen no evidence to exclude this possibility. + + Linda claims that she was kidnapped twice, nearly drowned, and further + harassed. Yet she refuses to contact the police, even after Hopkins' + urging. During the February 1, 1992 meeting with Stefula and Butler, + Linda asked if she had legal grounds to "shoot" Dan if he attempted + another abduction of her by force. Stefula advised against it and + recommended that she go to the police and make an official complaint. + She declined. + + If she was afraid, why didn't her husband contact authorities? The most + plausible reason is that if a report was filed, and her story proved + false, she could be subject to criminal charges. Linda's failure here + raises enormous questions of credibility. + + + OUR INVESTIGATION + + Despite the numerous problems outlined above, we believed it worthwhile + to gain additional information because so many people had contacted us + with questions. On September 19, 1992, Stefula, Butler, and Hansen + traveled to New York City in order to visit the site of the alleged + abduction. We found that Linda's apartment complex has a large courtyard + with guard house manned 24 hours a day. We talked with the security + guard and his supervisor and asked if they had ever heard about a UFO + encounter near the complex. They reported hearing nothing about one. We + also asked if the police routinely enter the complex and undertake door- + to-door canvassing in order to find witnesses to crimes. They said that + this was a very rare practice. + + We obtained the name and phone number of the apartment manager and + called him a few days later. He reported knowing nothing about the UFO + sighting, nor had he heard anything about it from any of the + approximately 1600 residents in the complex. + + We also visited the site under the FDR drive where Richard and Dan + purportedly parked their car. This was in a direct line of sight and + nearly across the street from the loading dock of the New York Post. We + spoke with an employee of the Post, who told us that the dock was in use + through most of the night. A few days later, we called the New York Post + and spoke to the person who was the loading dock manager in 1989. He + told us that the dock is in use until 5:00 a.m. and that there are many + trucks that come and go frequently during the early morning hours. The + manager knew nothing of the UFO which supposedly appeared only a couple + blocks away. + + Also in September, a colleague of ours contacted the Downtown Heliport, + on Pier Six on the East River of Manhattan. That is the only heliport on + the east side of Manhattan between Linda's apartment and the lower tip + of the island. Our colleague was informed that the normal hours of + operation of the heliport are from 7:00 a.m to 7:00 p.m. The Senior + Airport Operations Agent researched the records and found that there + were no helicopter movements on November 30, 1989 before normal hours. + Our colleague was also told that about six months previously, the + heliport authorities had been approached by a man in his fifties with + white hair who had made a similar inquiry. That man had asked about a + UFO that had crashed into the East River. + + + The Meeting of October 3 + + On October 3, 1992, we met with Hopkins and his colleagues at his + residence in Manhattan. Among those in attendance were David Jacobs, + Walter H. Andrus, and Jerome Clark. During our meeting a number of + questions were raised, and some of Hopkins' answers revealed a great + deal about his investigations as well as the attitudes of Jacobs, + Andrus, and Clark. Linda's statements also told us much. + + We inquired if Hopkins had asked the guards of the apartment complex + whether they had seen the UFO. He indicated that he had not done so. + This is quite surprising, considering that the UFO was so bright that + the woman on the bridge had to shield her eyes from it even though she + was more than a quarter mile distant. One would have thought that + Hopkins would have made inquiries of the guards considering the + spectacular nature of the event. + + We noted that Linda had claimed that police canvassing of her apartment + complex was a common occurrence. We asked Hopkins if he had attempted to + verify this with the guards or the building manager. He indicated that + he did not feel it necessary. Although this is a minor point, it is one + of the few directly checkable statements made by Linda, but Hopkins did + not attempt to confirm it. + + We asked about the weather on the night of the abduction. Amazingly, + Hopkins told us that he didn't know the weather conditions for that + period. This was perhaps one of the most revealing moments, and it gives + great insight into Hopkins' capabilities as an investigator. If the + weather had been foggy, rainy, or snowing, the visibility could have + been greatly hampered, and the reliability of the testimony of the + witnesses would need to be evaluated accordingly. Even the very first + form in the MUFON Field Investigator's Manual requests information on + weather conditions (Fowler, 1983, p. 30). We ourselves did check the + weather and knew the conditions did not impede visibility. But the fact + that Hopkins apparently had not bothered to obtain even this most basic + investigatory information was illuminating. He claims to have much + supporting evidence that he has not revealed to outsiders; however, + because of Hopkins' demonstrated failure to check even the most + rudimentary facts, we place absolutely no credence in his undisclosed + "evidence." + + During the discussions, Hopkins' partisans made allusions to other world + figures involved in this event, though they did not give names. Hopkins' + supporters, who had been given information denied to us, seemed to + believe that there was a large motorcade that carried Perez de Cuellar + and these other dignitaries in the early morning hours of November 30, + 1989. At the meeting, we presented an outside expert consultant who for + many years had served in dignitary protective services. He described the + extensive preplanning required for moving officials and the massive + coordination during the movements. Many people and networks would be + alerted if there were any problems at all (such as a car stalling, or a + delay in passing checkpoints). His detailed presentation seemed to take + Hopkins aback. The consultant listed several specialized terms used by + the dignitary protective services and suggested that Hopkins ask Richard + and Dan the meaning of those terms as a test of their knowledge, and + thus credibility. As far as we know, Hopkins has failed to contact + Richard and Dan about that matter. + + During the beginning part of the October 3 meeting, Linda's husband + answered a few questions (in a very quiet voice). He seemed to have + difficulty with some of them, and Linda spoke up to "correct" his + memory. He left the meeting very early, even though Linda was under + considerable stress, and despite the fact that she was overheard asking + him to stay by her side. His leaving raised many questions in our minds. + + Linda also responded to questions during the meeting. Early in the + discussion, Hansen asked Linda's husband whether he was born and raised + in the U.S. He replied that he had come to this country when he was 17. + Linda promptly interjected that she knew why Hansen had asked that + question. During a prior telephone conversation between Linda and + Hansen, Linda had asserted that her husband was born and raised in New + York. She acknowledged that she had previously deliberately misled + Hansen. + + Later in the meeting the question arose about a financial agreement + between Linda and Hopkins. Stefula noted that Linda had told him that + she and Hopkins had an agreement to split profits from a book. Hopkins + denied that there was any such arrangement, and Linda then claimed that + she had deliberately planted disinformation. + + During the meeting, reports were heard from two psychologists. They + concluded that Linda's intelligence was in the "average" range. One + suggested that Linda would need the mind of a Bobby Fischer to plan and + execute any hoax that could explain this case and that she was not + capable of orchestrating such a massive, complex operation. Although + these were supposedly professional opinions, we were not given the names + of these psychologists. + + Ms. Penelope Franklin also attended the meeting. She is a close + colleague of Hopkins and the editor of IF--The Bulletin of the Intruders + Foundation. Hopkins had previously informed us in writing that Ms. + Franklin was a coinvestigator on the Napolitano case. In a conversation + during a break in the meeting, Franklin asserted to Hansen that Linda + was absolutely justified in lying about the case. This remarkable + statement was also witnessed by Vincent Creevy, who happened to be + standing between Franklin and Hansen. + + Franklin's statement raises very troubling questions, especially given + her prominence within Hopkins' circle of colleagues. Her statement + appears to violate all norms of scientific integrity. We can only wonder + whether Linda has been counseled to lie by Hopkins or his colleagues. + Have other abductees been given similar advice? What kind of a social + and ethical environment are Hopkins and Franklin creating for abductees? + We also cannot help but wonder whether Hopkins and Franklin believe it + appropriate for themselves to lie about the case. They owe the UFO + research community an explanation for Franklin's statement. If such is + not forthcoming, we simply cannot accept them as credible investigators. + + + HOPKINS' REACTION TO OUR INVESTIGATION + + In concluding his Mufon UFO Journal paper, Hopkins wrote: "if rumors are + true and there are officially sanctioned intelligence agents within the + various UFO investigative networks, these people will also be mobilized + to subvert the case from the inside, even before its full dimensions are + made known to the public at large" (Hopkins, 1992c, p. 16). Hopkins + apparently takes this idea quite seriously. After he learned of our + investigation, he warned Butler that he suspected Butler and Stefula of + being government agents and that he planned to inform others of his + suspicions. A few weeks after our October 3 meeting, he told people that + he suspected Hansen of being a CIA agent. This was not an offhand remark + made to a friend in an informal setting; rather this was asserted to a + woman whom he did not know and who had happened to attend one of his + lectures (member of MUFON in New Jersey who feared future repercussions + if her name was mentioned, personal communication, November 7, 1992). + + + A POSSIBLE LITERARY BASIS FOR ELEMENTS OF THE STORY + + This case is quite exotic, even for a UFO abduction. Government agents + are involved, the UN Secretary General is a key witness, Linda was + kidnapped in the interests of national security, concerns are expressed + about world peace, the CIA is attempting to discredit the case, and the + ETs helped end the Cold War. The story is truly marvellous, and one + might wonder about its origin. We wish to draw the readers' attention to + the science fiction novel, Nighteyes, by Garfield Reeves-Stevens. This + work was first published in April 1989, a few months before Linda + claimed to have been abducted from her apartment. + + The experiences reported by Linda seem to be a composite of those of two + characters in Nighteyes: Sarah and Wendy. The parallels are striking; + some are listed in Table 1. We have not bothered to include the + similarities commonly reported in abduction experiences (e.g., implants, + bodily examinations, probes, etc.). The parallels are sufficiently + numerous to lead us to suspect that the novel served as the basis for + Linda's story. We want to emphasize that the parallels are with discrete + elements of the case and not with the story line itself. + + + Table 1 - Similarities Between the Linda Napolitano Case and the Science + Fiction Novel Nighteyes + + + * Linda was abducted into a UFO hovering over her high-rise apartment + building in New York City. + + Sarah was abducted into a UFO hovering over her high-rise apartment + building in New York City. + + * Dan and Richard initially claimed to have been on a stakeout and were + involved in a UFO abduction in during early morning hours. + + Early in Nighteyes two government agents were on a stakeout and became + involved in a UFO abduction during early morning hours. + + * Linda was kidnapped and thrown into a car by Richard and Dan. + + Wendy was kidnapped and thrown into a van by Derek and Merril. + + * Linda claimed to have been under surveillance by someone in a van. + + Vans were used for surveillance in Nighteyes. + + * Dan is a security and intelligence agent. + + Derek was an FBI agent. + + * Dan was hospitalized for emotional trauma. + + One of the government agents in Nighteyes was hospitalized for + emotional trauma. + + * During the kidnapping Dan took Linda to a safe house. + + During the kidnapping Derek took Wendy to a safe house. + + * The safe house Linda visited was on the beach. + + In Nighteyes, one safe house was on the beach. + + * Before her kidnapping, Linda contacted Budd Hopkins about her + abduction. + + Before her kidnapping, Wendy contacted Charles Edward Starr about her + abduction. + + * Budd Hopkins is a prominent UFO abduction researcher living in New + York City and an author who has written books on the topic. + + Charles Edward Starr was a prominent UFO abduction researcher living + in New York City and an author who had written books on the topic. + + * Linda and Dan were abducted at the same time and communicated with + each other during their abductions. + + Wendy and Derek were abducted at the same time and communicated with + each other during their abductions. + + * Linda thought she "knew" Richard previously. + + Wendy "knew" Derek previously. + + * Dan expressed a romantic interest in Linda. + + Derek became romantically involved with Wendy. + + * Dan and Richard felt considerable vibration during the close + encounter. + + During the UFO landing in Nighteyes there was much vibration. + + * Photographs of Linda were taken on the beach and sent to Hopkins. + + In Nighteyes, photographs taken on a beach played a central role. + + + THE REACTION OF THE UFOLOGY'S LEADERSHIP + + + One of the most curious features of our investigation has been the + reaction of several prominent leaders in ufology. Indeed, in the long + run, this may turn out to be the most important part of the entire + affair. + + After the MUFON symposium in July, Stefula had several conversations + with Walter Andrus, International Director of MUFON. Andrus told him + that MUFON had no interest in publishing any material critical of this + case even though they had published an article describing it as "The + Abduction Case of the Century." This is a most surprising statement from + a leader of an organization which purports to be scientific. Andrus' + statements should raise questions about the legitimacy of MUFON's claims + to use objective, scientific methods. + + On September 14, 1992, Hopkins faxed Butler a letter saying that as a + long-standing member of MUFON, he was issuing an "order" (his word). He + "ordered" Stefula and Butler to stop their investigation of the case. We + found this very curious, and we wondered how Hopkins, as a member of + MUFON, could believe that it was in his power to issue such an "order." + His letter seemed to reflect the mindset of a leader of a cult rather + than that of an investigator searching for the truth. + + For the meeting on October 3 in New York City, Hopkins flew in his close + friend Jerome Clark from Minnesota. Under the sway of Hopkins, Clark + strenuously urged that outsiders cease investigations, thus seemingly + trying to reinforce Hopkins' earlier "order" (despite the fact that the + case already had been reported in the Wall Street Journal, Omni, Paris + Match and the television show Inside Edition). Clark (1992a) later + committed his position to writing, saying that this case may indeed + involve a world political figure and have international consequences. + + Andrus and Clark are arguably the two most influential figures in U.S. + ufology. Andrus is International Director of the Mutual UFO Network + (MUFON), and he organizes the largest annual conference on UFOs in the + country and regularly writes for MUFON's monthly magazine. Clark is a + columnist for Fate magazine, editor of International UFO Reporter, vice- + president of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, and author of + books and even an encyclopedia on UFOs. Because of their eminence, their + statements should be of special concern to the UFO research community. + + At the meeting on October 3, the kidnapping and attempted murder of + Linda were discussed. We informed Hopkins and the other participants + that we were prepared to make a formal request for a federal + investigation of the government agents responsible for the alleged + felonies. Hopkins, Andrus, and Clark appeared to literally panic at the + suggestion. They vigorously argued against making such a request. We + could only conclude that they wanted to suppress evidence of attempted + murder. We wondered why. + + This situation seemed so outrageous that a few days later Hansen called + Andrus, Clark, John Mack, and David Jacobs and asked them if they really + believed Linda's story about the kidnappings and attempted murder. All + of these individuals said that they accepted her account. We were forced + to seriously consider their opinions because they had been given secret + information not revealed to us. During the telephone conversations, + Andrus and Clark again strongly objected to requesting an investigation + by law enforcement authorities. + + + A PSYCHO-SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE + + The Napolitano case brings into stark relief symptoms of deep problems + within ufology: major figures in the UFO community aggressively sought + to suppress evidence of a purported attempted murder; Hopkins failed to + obtain and verify even the most basic investigatory information; his + coinvestigator, Penelope Franklin, approved of lying by the principal + witness; and leaders in the field have willingly accepted and promoted + the case despite its exotic features and lack of supporting evidence. + This state of affairs raises perplexing questions and cries out for a + plausible explanation. The thinking and motivations of ufology's leaders + deserve at least as much attention as the abduction claims themselves. + + Did these leaders really believe, as they said, that they accepted the + report of attempted murder? If so, they seem not to have acted as + responsible citizens. However, these people do not appear to us to be + delusional, in any usual sense of that word. They are highly functional + members of society. They also do not appear to be perpetrators of a hoax + or even "yellow journalists" with a "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" attitude + who knowingly want to capitalize on it for their own temporary glory or + financial gain. + + We believe that other motivating factors and concepts provide a better + explanation and framework for understanding these seemingly bizarre + actions. We would suggest that perhaps, at some semiconscious level, + these individuals do not really believe their UFO investigations to be + fully engaged with the "real world." Rather, their behavior and + statements seem more consistent with something like fantasy role + playing, perhaps akin to the game Dungeons and Dragons (D & D). + + Both ufology and D & D allow direct, immediate involvement with powerful + "other-world" beings and mythological motifs. Both endeavors have been + known to overtake (possess?) the participants, though only occasionally + to their detriment. Most "players" are able to successfully detach + themselves from involvement, but occasionally the "game" becomes + obsessive and interferes with "real-world" pursuits. This "role playing" + taps archetypal images that hold great psychological power. The + archetypes can become immensely attractive, even addictive, to those + playing the game. The notions and images of powerful "other-world" + figures are part of the human condition. Accounts of them are found in + all cultures throughout history, this being one of the traditional + domains of religion. Even atheists and those who deny the existence of + such beings must still grapple with the ideas on some level, though this + might not be consciously recognized by an individual. + + In the Napolitano case, the "other-world" figures include not only the + ET aliens, but also the pantheon of agents of an unreachable, evil + government conspiracy determined to prevent humankind's knowledge of the + ETs. Intermediaries between flesh and blood humans and the powerful + masters of the mystical higher orders are ubiquitous in the realm of + religion. + + Angels and devils serve the centers of ultimate good and evil. So here + we see the largely invisible minions "Dan" and "Richard" and the + mysterious witness on the bridge furthering the cause of "Truth." + Likewise, Hopkins discerns the skeptical investigators as agents of a + secular satan. + + Thus the interactions of Hopkins, et al., with these players are seen to + conform to the rules that historically control the interactions between + humans and gods. Humans question and provoke the gods only at the + greatest peril. The proper approach is to appease, mollify and + supplicate these "entities." It should be no surprise that the simplest + reality tests of the Napolitano story were not made in this case. + Hopkins' failure to check the weather conditions during the abduction + actually makes sense in the context of this cult-like thought process. + Just as lice were called "pearls of heaven" by medieval religious + devotees, the physical event-reality issues in the Linda story are + transmuted by her supporters. + + The roles of high priest and acolytes are only too obvious when + examaning the behaviors of personages Hopkins, Clark, Jacobs, and + Andrus. These aging white males patronizingly refer to Linda's "average" + intellect, perhaps to reassure themselves that they are indeed in + control. Yet the high priestess has, in effect, achieved the godhead + (metaphorically speaking, of course). + + There are some differences between D & D and ufological pursuits. D & D + has more restrictive and structured rules. The boundaries of appropriate + behavior are rather clearly defined. Ufology is more "unstructured," + there are fewer "rules" about what is and is not possible, and the + powers of the "other- world" figures are almost unbounded. This relative + lack of structure makes the UFO game somewhat more "dangerous." In order + to grapple with the phenomena, the paradigms adopted by many ufologists + have "concretized" (i.e., structured) the beings as ET humanoids. + + In fantasy role playing, the rules are not questioned; they are accepted + by the players at the beginning. Similarly in the Linda case, the basic + evidence is not to be questioned. Andrus, Clark, and Hopkins have all + urged that outsiders cease investigation (despite the massive publicity + given to the case). Such challenging of "rules" leads to disruptions of + the "game," and the dungeon masters need to keep order. + + Direct interfacing of the "fantasy role" with the "real-world" (i.e., + direct allegations of attempted murder, verification of details of + testimony), usually does not cause problems, except when the players do + not act in accordance with consequential "real-world" concerns. Hopkins, + Andrus, Clark, Mack, and Jacobs seem to have accepted a system of + beliefs and assumptions that have led to a collision with the "real + world." They have been unable to rationally defend their behavior, and + Jerome Clark's (1992a) "Torquemada" article is perhaps the single best + example of that. In fact, his emotional attack labeling Hansen as + "Torquemada" (director of the Spanish Inquisition) ressurects and + reinforces religious themes, and it perhaps betrays his unconscious + feelings of religious persecution. + + The above discussion derives from a psycho-social perspective, and we + would like to encourage U.S. researchers to become more familiar the + ideas generated from that approach. We admit that the psycho-social + theorists have failed to address many aspects of the abduction + experience generally. Exclusive use of that perspective can lead to + positing simplistic and scientifically sterile explanations. On the + other hand, those that shun the psycho-social perspective typically fail + to recognize the explanatory power it possesses and its ability to + illuminate risks faced by investigators. Those wanting more information + about the psycho-social perspective may wish to read the book Angels and + Aliens by Keith Thompson (1991) and the British magazine Magonia; almost + without saying, the works of John Keel are also recommended. + + We are not denigrating ufology by such comparisons as those made above, + nor are we attacking the existence of "other-world" entities. Regardless + whether entities or ET aliens exist, the comparisons are useful and the + consequences and insights are applicable. Such a comparative analysis + should not be limited to only D & D players and ufologists; similar + comparisons could be made for virtually everyone in the "real world." + They can help serve as warnings about becoming too complacent regarding + beliefs in our own "rationality." + + + DISCUSSION + + The Napolitano case appears beset by an overwhelming number of problems. + It was with some misgivings that we first embarked on this investigation + because we did not wish to see UFO abduction research discredited. In + fact, one of us, Butler, has had abduction experiences himself. It was + our judgement that if we did not raise these issues for public + discussion, there was a much greater risk for the field. The case was + garnering considerable attention, and if it became widely regarded as + evidential, it would reflect very badly on the field as a whole if it + was eventually shown to be false. + + We were quite unprepared for the reaction to our work from leaders of + the field. Walter Andrus and Jerome Clark aggressively tried to dissuade + us from continuing our investigation, and so far they have failed to + publish any material critical of the case. We were unaware that such + belligerently antiscientific attitudes were so prevalent at the highest + levels of ufology. When these same individuals attempted to suppress + evidence of an alleged attempted murder, we concluded that their beliefs + and actions were incompatible with "real world" events. However, we do + not consider the label "deluded" appropriate here, and we remind the + reader that these individuals are backed by people such as Harvard + psychiatrist John Mack and David Jacobs, professor of history at Temple + University. + + Despite our disappointment, we strongly support scientific research into + the abduction phenomena and would like to call attention to high quality + studies in the field (e.g., Ring & Rosing, 1990; Rodeghier, Goodpaster & + Blatterbauer, 1992). We also believe that the core abduction experience + has not been adequately explained within normal scientific frameworks. + We commend the work of Hufford (1982) in exploring similar issues. + + The present case has significant implications for assessing the true + nature of the abduction phenomena. The idea that actual extraterrestrial + physical creatures are abducting people has been vigorously promoted in + the scientific literature and in the media. Jacobs has promoted that + view in the New York Times (Hinds, 1992) as well as in the Journal of + UFO Studies (Jacobs, 1992). He suggests that the ET aliens are visiting + earth in order to obtain human sperm and eggs. In his JUFOS article, + Jacobs was bitterly critical of Ring and Rosing, saying that they + ignored "cases of witnesses seeing others being abducted while not being + abducted themselves" (p. 162). Surprizingly, Jacobs gave no citations + for any of these cases. Hansen wrote to Jacobs requesting such citations + but received no reply. Jacobs' article was lavish in its praise for + Hopkins' work, and we suspect that Jacobs had in mind the Napolitano + case when he wrote his article. We would like to remind the reader that + it was Hopkins (1992a) who wrote: "The importance of this case is + virtually immeasurable, as it powerfully supports both the objective + reality of UFO abductions and the accuracy of regressive hypnosis." + Because the argument for the "objective reality of UFO abductions" + relies heavily on Hopkins' work, our findings call into question this + entire theoretical perspective. + + In our judgment, conscious hoaxes are rare in the abduction field. The + vast majority of those claiming to be abducted have had some kind of + intense personal experience, whatever the ultimate cause. Nevertheless, + the problems of fraud and hoaxing have long been a problem in ufology, + especially for cases with high visibility. This will continue. + Researchers must become more open minded to the potential for hoaxing, + yet not be blinded to the genuine phenomena. This is a difficult + balance. + + Some have questioned possible motives in this case; it is impossible to + obtain certain knowledge here. Perhaps Linda really had some kind of an + abduction experience (Butler believes this is likely to be the case). As + she became acquainted with Hopkins and other abductees, she may have + wanted to vindicate them--to save them from ridicule and derision. + Perhaps money was the only motivation. Possibly there was a combination + of factors. It does appear that if this was a hoax, it was not + perpetrated by a lone individual. Collaborators would include the woman + on the bridge, an X-ray operator, and a man (or men) preparing the tape + recordings. However, we want to emphasize that we have no direct + evidence to implicate Hopkins in attempted deception. + + Cynics might criticize Hopkins saying that he ignored the obvious + problems because he was motivated by money that might accrue from books + and movie rights. While this might possibly be an unconscious factor, + critics rarely acknowledge that Hopkins does not charge abductees for + his services (unlike some "professionals"). Hopkins has spent an + enormous amount of his own time and money investigating the phenomena. + Furthermore, he does not have an academic position subsidized by the tax + payers. One should not begrudge him the profits from his books. Hopkins + has been involved in considerable controversy, and some have disputed + his methods. Nevertheless, he has done much to bring the abduction + problem to the attention of scientists and the mental health community, + and his efforts have made it much more acceptable to discuss such + strange encounters. Abduction experiences are often emotional and + traumatic, and the abductees need considerable support. Hopkins has + attempted to provide much needed aid. + + The outside critic who is not directly involved in such activities + almost never recognizes how difficult it is to serve as both a therapist + and as a scientist. Those persons trying to help abductees emotionally + need to provide warmth, acceptance, and trust. The scientist, however, + needs to be critically open minded and somewhat detached and analytical. + The two functions are not altogether compatible. We cannot realistically + expect one individual to be 100% effective in both roles. By the nature + of the endeavor, those trying to be helpful can be vulnerable to + deception. + + + APPENDIX + + A Note on the Hansen-Clark Communications + + One of the more entertaining aspects of this case has been the resulting + missives by Hansen (1992a, 1992b) and Clark (1992a, 1992b) which have + been widely circulated and posted on electronic bulletin boards. We + encourage those interested to obtain copies. + + Clark's (1992b) most recent piece deserves comment. He now says that he + now does not accept Linda's claims about the kidnapping and attempted + murder by government agents. However, in a telephone conversation with + him on October 6, 1992, he told Hansen that he accepted those claims. + Hansen did not tape-record the conversation, but he is willing to + provide a sworn statement to that effect. Hansen also talked with + Marcello Truzzi who had spoken to Clark near the same time. Truzzi + understood that Clark believed that Linda was sincere in her claims and + was telling the truth to the best of her ability. + + The salient points are summarized as follows: + + 1. At the 1992 MUFON symposium, Linda Napolitano spoke in front of + hundreds of people and claimed that she was kidnapped by government + agents. + + 2. Clark told both Hansen and Truzzi that he accepted Linda's story + (i.e., that she was telling the truth to the best of her ability). + + 3. Hopkins claims to have much evidence that could be used to identify + the culprits. + + 4. Hopkins flew Clark to New York, whereupon Clark aggressively injected + himself into matters and vigorously opposed continuing an outside + investigation and reporting the alleged felonies to law enforcement + authorities. He defended this position, in writing, saying: "if this + story is true, it is not just a UFO case but a `politically + sensitive' event because it supposedly involves a political figure of + international stature...banging on the wrong doors could alert the + relevant agency that two of its agents were leaking a huge secret." + (Clark, 1992a, p. 1). + + We will let the readers decide whether Clark's initial position was + compatible with "real-world" considerations. + + We are gratified that Clark has taken the time to comment, at length, on + these issues, and in a style so typical of his level of dispassionate + commentary. We caution readers that Clark perhaps may be currently + acutely embarrassed by his statement quoted in point 4 and may feel the + need to obscure this central issue. Nevertheless, we are pleased that he + now seems to have made a cathartic conversion. + + + REFERENCES + + Baskin, Anita. (1992).

Some UFO researchers are calling it a +breakthrough video: a clear view of a craft, not one of ours, +performing a high-speed maneuver. Others, with years in the space +program, say it's just plain old debris. Judge for yourself. +The mission was STS-48, flown in September of last year. As +Discovery circled the Earth, the camera picks up what looks like an +object drifting from right to left, then suddenly and strangely +veering off to the right and out of view, followed by what looks +like a tracer or laser from the bottom to the top of the screen. +Another, closer look: The object appears to change direction. +NASA says it was waste water dumped from Discovery. UFO +enthusiasts disagree and claim NASA has long hidden the full extent +of outer space UFO encounters. +With us from Los Angeles - Don Ecker of UFO Magazine. In +Houston - space engineer and author, James Oberg, who worked on +ground communications for this shuttle mission, the one in question. +Don, why are you so sure this is a UFO? +DON ECKER, `UFO' Magazine: Well, it certainly has all the +appearances, Larry, of being something that is unidentified. It +certainly appears to be flying. And we do not normally associate +waste water - or, as some pundits are calling it, urine in space - +to make drastic right-angle turns. +KING: Why would NASA want to hide it? +Mr. ECKER: Why would the United States Government want to keep +this subject under wraps for 45 years? That's an excellent +question. +KING: Why? +Mr. ECKER: Well, we could certainly go into the realm of +speculation- +KING: I mean, the Government denies it, so you're going to have +to tell me why you think they hide it. +Mr. ECKER: OK. Well, to begin with, I have a couple of +questions that I want to address to Jim first, Larry, that I think +are germane. +To begin with, good evening, Jim. And I have a couple of +questions. To begin with, what capacity are you here in this +evening? Are you here- +KING: Hold it. They're straightening out Jim's microphone. So +let me get straight with you and then they'll let me know and we'll +be ready to take that through. +When you saw these tapes for the first time, were you just +feeding your own, for want of a better term, frenzy, something +you'd been wrapped up with for a long time? Or did you turn this +over for analysis? Did you look at it? Did you investigate their +explanation? +Mr. ECKER: Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I have the +documents with me with what NASA had claimed that these particular +anomalous objects are. There are several events on this particular +tape that originally came from a cable television channel back in +the Maryland area that downlinked it on the NASA K-band. +Basically, this was event number two, which shows a number of +anomalous objects in this particular segment of footage, and there +are a number of things that just simply don't stack up with what +NASA is claiming that these things are. +If you watch the entire segment, you will notice that several +moments after this particular event happens, NASA begins preparing +for the waste water dump. +KING: OK, now, James are you with us now? Are we clicked in OK? +JAMES OBERG, Space Engineer: That's fine. We can talk to outer +space OK, but I had a problem with your- +KING: OK, that's James Oberg, space engineer and author. He +worked on flight control for the shuttle mission. +And you say this is not phenomena, right? +Mr. OBERG: It's a phenomenon that's very familiar. Larry, we +see this since the fireflies on John Glenn's flight 30 years ago. +Spacecraft are surrounded by clouds of debris - ice, dust, +insulation, and other fragments. These pieces - and I've seen +these tapes and I've seen hundreds of hours of tapes like that - +are fairly ordinary phenomena. +KING: OK, Don has a couple of quick questions for you. +Don? +Mr. ECKER: Yes. Jim, what capacity are you here in this +evening? Are you here as a civilian? Are you here as a +representative of Lockheed- +Mr. OBERG: I'm not representing- +Mr. ECKER: -or of NASA? +Mr. OBERG: Don, don't give loaded questions, here. I have no +connection with Lockheed. I'm a space nut. I'm interested in +outer space myths and folklore- +Mr. ECKER: So in other words, you're here on your own accord? +KING: Yes, in other words, James, you're not here representing +NASA, right? +Mr. OBERG: I'll play it back, Don. I'm not here as editor of a +magazine trying to sell subscriptions. +KING: OK, no, James- +Mr. ECKER: OK, let me ask you this- +KING: Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it- +Mr. ECKER: Let me ask you this- +KING: Hold it, hold it- +Mr. ECKER: James- +KING: Don- Don- Don, hold it. It's my show. +James, you're not here as a representative of NASA, right? +Mr. OBERG: No. No, I have written on this subject for a long +time. +KING: OK. Did you work on this mission? +Mr. OBERG: Yes, I did. +KING: In what capacity? +Mr. OBERG: I was in the flight control center, part of helping +the deployment of one of the satellites. So I was there for- +KING: Are you a contracted employee to NASA? +Mr. OBERG: Yes. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. +KING: OK, but tonight you appear as James Oberg, space engineer- +Mr. OBERG: That's right. +KING: -not representing NASA? +Mr. OBERG: That's correct. +Mr. ECKER: All right, Larry, I have one more question for Jim- +KING: OK, now, go ahead, Don. Go ahead. +Mr. ECKER: Yes, I have one more question for him. +Jim, are you working here under the constraints of any security +agreements that you may have signed with NASA? +Mr. OBERG: No, I'm not. Myself's not the issue. The issue are +these pictures and the big deal people are making out of it. +Mr. ECKER: Well, this is a simple question, Jim. Are you +working under security constraints? +KING: All right, no, James, that's a fair question. Did you +sign any kind of an agreement with NASA not to reveal certain +things? +Mr. OBERG: DOD material, yes. This is not, and this is not +covered. Nothing about this material is covered- +Mr. ECKER: All right, let me- One last question, Jim- +KING: `DOD' means Department of Defense material? +Mr. OBERG: Department of Defense, that's right. +KING: OK. Go ahead, Don. +Mr. ECKER: One last question, and this question is very simple. +With the security agreements that you have signed, before we start +addressing this particular segment of footage, if you had any +awareness of anomalous objects, would you be free to talk about +them? And I'm talking about anomalous objects that are not our +debris or our spacecraft. +Mr. OBERG: I am totally free to talk about these kinds of +topics, anything seen on the shuttle. I have talked about it. I +have a long history of writing for Omni Magazine and other +magazines and books- +Mr. ECKER: Well, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying- +Mr. OBERG: -because it's clear- +Mr. ECKER: You're usually on- +Mr. OBERG: I'm giving you an expert opinion- +KING: Don, Don, Don- Hold it. Guys, hold it. This is not a +trial, Don. He answered the question. If it was not a Defense +Department fear, he could talk about anything. +Now, would you briefly, James- +Mr. OBERG: There was nothing on STS-48 that was classified, +nothing on that flight. +KING: All right. Would you tell us, you are convinced beyond +question that this is debris? +Mr. OBERG: This looks just like it. Now, it could be someone +masquerading at it. Look at those pieces. They're small pieces. +Why is it that we see these- It's always small pieces, just at the +limit of the cameras. There are always pieces like that floating +around. When jets fire, when things leak out or are expelled from +the shuttle, the jets hit pieces. They change direction. I've +seen it- I wouldn't say hundreds of times, but I've seen it before +on other missions. +KING: Don, what do you think it is? If it's a UFO, what is it, +Don? +Mr. ECKER: Well, to begin with, Larry- +KING: I mean, why don't they land here and talk to us? +Mr. ECKER: If, in fact, it were debris- And Jim is very well +aware that debris will tumble, will toss, will turn while in orbit. +The close-up digitally-enhanced segment of this particular footage +shows absolutely no tumbling motion, whatsoever. This is moving in +a straight line. It makes a drastic right-angle turn, shoots off +into space. Now, if, in fact, it were a result- +Mr. OBERG: Don's got to watch some more tapes. He's got to +watch a few hundred more hours of tapes and he'll see this all the +time. +Mr. ECKER: If, in fact, Jim- Just a moment. If, in fact, it +were a piece of debris and if the attitude thrusters from the +shuttle had been fired, then, the way the camera was set up on that +particular mission, the entire shuttle picture would have moved, +because it did several moments after this particular incident. +Mr. OBERG: I'm just amazed how much Don can learn about the +space program from so many thousands of miles away from Mission +Control. These are the kinds of things- +Mr. ECKER: Well, if, in fact, Jim, we're going to talk about +this, fine. If we're going to start ad hominem attacks, that's +something else. +Mr. OBERG: All right, let's go back to the films. +KING: We'll come right back with James Oberg and Don Ecker. +We'll also include your phone calls on this extraordinary topic +that never goes away. This is Larry King Live. Don't you go away. +{Commercial break} +KING: Let's start to include your phone calls for Don Ecker - +he's a researcher with UFO Magazine - and James Oberg, space +engineer and author. +Huntsville, Alabama - famous area for outer space - hello. +4th CALLER: {Huntsville, Alabama} Hello? +KING: Yes. +4th CALLER: My name is O.H. Bond, Jr. {sp?}. I'm in +Huntsville, Alabama. +KING: Yes, sir. +4th CALLER: I have an experiment on the shuttle which has flown +a number of times called the Mesoscale Lightning Experiment {sp?}, +in which we look for mesoscale lightning and we look for the +effects of unusual events which occur in space. +KING: And? +4th CALLER: Particularly, we look for lightning events which +we've seen to go 20 miles straight up into the stratosphere from +cloud stocks. +KING: Meaning? +4th CALLER: The question I want to ask you guys is- With +respect to these flying objects, I agree with James Oberg. From +what I have seen over numbers of years of looking at video images, +this is debris from the spacecraft, as far as I can determine. And +the second thing is I believe that many of the objects we see are +the other debris which is in orbit. +KING: Don? +Mr. ECKER: I would have to ask, Larry, that if, in fact, this +is the case that this was debris from the shuttle, why is it not +tumbling? Why did it make such a drastic turn? The fact that NASA +claims- +Mr. OBERG: Can I answer that? If you give me some time, I can +answer that. +Mr. ECKER: Well, the question was addressed to me first, and +I'm asking the question, Jim, and then you can go to it. +Mr. OBERG: And you'll make sure that you don't- You don't want +the answer. +KING: All right, but it's a fair question that Don puts, and +let Jim respond to it. Why would a piece of debris move like that? +I've never seen debris move like that. +Mr. OBERG: Well, you have to- People can watch this. As the +shuttle is going through orbit, people don't realize there are more +than 50 points on the nose of the shuttle, the tail, on the side- +more than 50 points where debris, water, ice, come off- from the +belly. And as these pieces come off and rocket engines can fire, +they'll form what are called plumes. They'll form a blast. And as +debris will go into that area, they will turn, and you can watch +this. +Fortunately, we have on the SATCOM F2R satellite and on many, +many cable networks the NASA select from space flight. It's the +reason that these people saw this tape in the first place. I would +simply recommend that they and anyone else watch that tape for more +than a few hours. Watch it for several years, in terms of the +missions. And they'll be seeing this kind of event. +But the thing about why these are just debris and not +spacecraft, alien spacecraft- They're always small. They're always +just at the limit of the camera. +KING: But you don't know- +Mr. OBERG: No matter how much the camera is zoomed in, it's +still just a dot- +KING: James, this isn't 100 percent- +Mr. OBERG: -and that just tells you these are little pieces. +KING: You don't know it for sure, but it's your best educated +guess, right? +Mr. OBERG: I'll tell you, if we saw some real spacecraft- If I +saw some real spacecraft - and I know many people in the space +program - saw something out there that could be really proof of +something revolutionary, there's no power on earth that would be +able to stop people from coming out and being on your show- +Mr. ECKER: Larry, one thing- +KING: All right, let me get a call in. +Sykesville, Maryland, hello. +5th CALLER: {Sykesville, Maryland} Hello, this is Vincent +DiPetro {sp?}. +KING: Yes. +5th CALLER: From Sykesville, Maryland. +KING: Yes. +5th CALLER: I originally did an analysis of this very tape that +you're showing on TV. +KING: Uh-huh. +5th CALLER: And I'd like to make a few comments about this. +KING: Are you a scientist? +5th CALLER: I work at Goddard Space Flight Center. I'm an +engineer. +KING: OK. +5th CALLER: I work with the space program. +KING: All right. +5th CALLER: But I'm doing this freelance. And I'd like to say +that I've sent this to a number of scientists, called a number of +engineers, and they've all described this event as ice. +KING: Ice? +5th CALLER: Ice, that has turned in a way- If you look at the +other debris that's on the screen, you'll see that in every case +there is a right-angle turn that is made of this debris. In other +words, it's not- +Mr. ECKER: Well, Vince- Vince, let me ask you a question, +because I have the entire tape. And I also have the section that +you digitally enhanced that shows clearly a domed disc object that +was recorded on this mission. Do you deny that? +5th CALLER: I see that on there, and I do not know what that is. +Mr. ECKER: Did you digitally enhance it? +5th CALLER: Yes. +Mr. ECKER: OK. Did it look to you like an anomalous object, or +did it look like debris or ice? +5th CALLER: It looks like an object, but I can't explain what +it is. And I'm not saying that it isn't something that you're +describing. The only thing I'm saying is that the explanation that +I have gotten is that this debris is ice. There's no way of +determining how big it is. It could be a microinch, a couple of +inches. It's certainly not several hundred feet across, as a lot +of people would be led to believe. And the explanation I got was +that there were rockets, little tiny rockets, that are used to +change the attitude of the spacecraft on the sides; that when those +things go off- It's nitric acid and hydrozene that fires these +rockets. When they go off- +Mr. ECKER: Yes, and there is no flash, either, is there, Vince? +5th CALLER: There is a flash that you can see at the beginning. +And if you are so careful as to take a piece of cellophane and put +it onto your TV set, you will see that all of these objects- Not +the ones that are stars, because the stars you can clearly see go +behind the horizon. But if you look at the debris that flies from +left to right and so forth, everything makes a right-hand turn. +It's even less- +Mr. ECKER: Well, Vince, since you worked on this particular +piece of footage, let me ask you another question. Before this +event happens, this object rises up out of the blackness and is +traveling from right to upper left. Now, if, in fact, it was there +prior to the start of this sequence, how do you explain that? +5th CALLER: I explain that in this way. If you listen {sp?} to +the tape carefully, you will see that the spacecraft is just coming +out of twilight into sunlight. Now, if there was debris flying +around in the blackness of space, you would not see it until it was +lit up. +KING: OK. All right, we're going to have to do some more on +this- +Mr. OBERG: Or it might have come over the payload bay where the +lights are. Either way, that would explain it. +KING: Let me get a break, and we'll come right back. +Thanks for calling, Vince, by the way. +We'll come back with more. This is fascinating - I don't +understand it, but it's fascinating! Don't go away. +{Commercial break} +KING: All right, we're running close on time. +Don, are we ever going to see one of these land on the White +House lawn and speak to us? +Mr. ECKER: Well, I don't know about landing on the White House +lawn, Larry, but we had in 1952 three flights that overflew the +White House. +I have one last question that I want to ask Jim very quickly +and briefly. +KING: All right, real fast. +Mr. ECKER: Jim, are you aware of any NASA studies on UFO +phenomena? +Mr. OBERG: I'm aware, Don, of 30 years of phony stories- +Mr. ECKER: And I'm not saying spaceships. I'm saying- +Mr. OBERG: -in UFO magazines- +Mr. ECKER: I'm saying- +Mr. OBERG: -taking transcripts- +KING: Guys, we'll have you both come back. We're out of time. +Thanks, fellows- +Mr. OBERG: -and faking them. +KING: OK, thanks. We're out of time. Thanks very much. +Hope you enjoyed this edition of `Don Ecker Live' from +Washington. {laughs} A little fun there. + +*END* + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The stories of weird goings-on +are consistent and often credible, but the proof is always +seemingly out of reach. Decades of frustration haven't stopped the +true believers from trading conspiracy and cover-up theories that +get more and more bizarre. Now why does the UFO's controversy +persist? What is really going on here? The phenomenon is the +subject of a new book by cultural historian Keith Thompson. The +book is titled Angels and Aliens: UFO's and the Mythic +Imagination. Keith is an independent scholar and researcher. He's +at our studios here in Washington. In Los Angeles - Don Ecker, +research director of UFO Magazine. He believes the Government is +hiding the truth about UFO's. +Keith, your book is saying, `A plague on all their houses'? +KEITH THOMPSON, Author, `Angels and Aliens': I don't need to +put the plague there. I think the plague is there already, and let +me tell you what I mean by that. I saw that in this subject +certain things weren't being discussed for quite a while and what- +It occurs to me that 40 years after this phenomenon emerged as the +flying saucer phenomenon our interest in it has consistently taught +us much less with certainty about aliens than about ourselves. +No one had really, you know, documented how our interest in the +phenomenon consistently reveals a great deal about what it means to +be human, what it means to live a human life. But that's generally +covert and what's generally at the surface is this ongoing +back-and-forth debate between both sides - both of which sides +typically are enmeshed in dogmatic one-dimensional viewpoints. +And first of all, let me say I think there's something +extraordinary going on in the UFO phenomenon. I think there is a +fundamental reality to it. What that reality is, I don't know, but +I suspect it's beyond our current ability to grasp it. +KING: You sound like- +Mr. THOMPSON: And therefore both sides - both sides - +consistently need to rationalize it into some conceptual system +that works for human beings. +KING: You sound, Keith, like an agnostic in a world of +believers and atheists. +Mr. THOMPSON: I have found myself in that position. You know, +one of the things that I have come to realize is that if ufology - +the research field of UFO's - can be likened to a dysfunctional +family in the sense of this constant back-and-forth fighting, I was +entrusted to be the sort of secret-keeper of the dysfunctional +family, because everyone I talked to in my interviews on both sides +said, `You know, I can tell you about him. Now, you can't quote me +because this is libelous but, you know, he's working for the +Government.' Or, `He's in cahoots with this,' or `He's crazy. +Now, you can't quote me.' And I was consistently invited to share +this secret - the various kinds of secrets - around what is, you +know, really a kind of paranoia on both sides. +KING: All right, are you saying, then, anyone who says +definitively `There are flying saucers; I went up with them; I met +the little people; the Government's hiding it' or anyone who says +definitively `There's nothing out there; forget it; nothing's in +the universe; we are it' - both of them have put themselves in +corners, can't prove either side of that corner, and they're kind +of a little whacked? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, that's what I've tried to document in the +book, and the key word is `definitive.' Any viewpoint that offers +itself as the definitive viewpoint has been offered many, many +times before. For example, one particular side says, `We're just +about ready to blow the lid on the Government coverup.' That was +first stated in the late 1940's and it continues to be stated. It +may be true this time, but it's been stated many times before. +KING: Like `The world's going to end a week from Tuesday.' +Mr. THOMPSON: I think it's Wednesday. +KING: OK. Don, how would you defend what Keith has said so +far, as research director of UFO Magazine? +DON ECKER, `UFO' Magazine: Well, Larry, Keith is in many +respects absolutely correct. This is a house divided. It has been +for quite a while. We have to break the ufologists down into +several groups. Unfortunately, I hate to say this, but we have one +group that are two or three taco's shy of a full combination plate. +We have another group that are, apparently, aliens. And what I +mean by that, they can manipulate time and space - the space inside +somebody's wallet and the time that it takes them to empty it. And +then we have a bedrock of serious UFO researchers - people that are +actually trying to get to the truth - and that's what we do in UFO +Magazine. +We take a look at all sides and we try to find out exactly what +is going on. We don't doubt for one minute that there is a +phenomenon and we don't doubt that the most workable hypothesis is +the one of possible extraterrestrial visitation, but we're not +locked into that. There is a mystery here. What we're saying is +it deserves to be studied. It deserves to be looked at. And it's +apparent - and we have documented proof - that the Government is +hiding something. + KING: All right, now, your documented proof, if we could be +brief, is what? +Mr. ECKER: OK, for example, this past spring I was in Tucson, +Arizona, at an international UFO conference. During the course of +this conference I had a chance to meet Dr. Marina Popovitch, who is +a Soviet researcher over here in the United States. At that period +of time I had a chance to interview her over two days' period and +the very last day that I was speaking to her I asked her about a +rumor that I had heard in a book that I had read by another +researcher back on the East Coast by the name of Zachariah Sitchin. +The book is Genesis Revisited, and he intimated in this book that, +during the course of a Soviet space mission back in 1988-1989, +something passingly strange happened in the orbit of Mars with one +of these Soviet probes, and I asked Dr. Popovitch if there was any +truth to it. +Well, I got a fantastic story out of this that came all the way +from the halls of the Soviet politburo and, also, the Soviet space +center and Glavcosmos. Now, I asked her what exactly were the +facts that she brought back. Well, according to Sitchin, number +one, the Soviets had received several photographs from this space +probe- +KING: I'm going to ask you to be as brief as possible. Are you +saying that the Government knows about- our Government knows about +these photographs? We've exchanged them with the Soviets? +Mr. ECKER: Well, I have- I brought one with me, Larry. I +brought a photograph that has never been released outside of the +Soviet Union that was given to Dr. Popovitch, and I have it here. +What happened was this probe- +KING: Can we see it? +Mr. ECKER: Yes, I'm going to hold it up right now. +KING: All right. +Mr. ECKER: {Holds up photograph} This probe, all right, was in +the orbit of Mars and it was to perform several scientific +experiments. +Is this better? +KING: Yes. +Mr. ECKER: OK. It was to perform several scientific +experiments- and, excuse me, I have it upside-down. +KING: All right- Don't help me either way, by the way, but go +ahead. {laughs} +Mr. ECKER: {laughs} Right. OK. {Indicates printing at top of +photograph} This is, incidentally, Russian writing up here. What +it says is `FOBOS II' and then the number- the computer numbers. +But what this showed was that there was a very large metallic +cylindrical object- +KING: Right. +Mr. ECKER: -that this probe photographed, which you can see +right underneath the moon- +KING: Couldn't that be debris of some kind or something +floating in space? +Mr. ECKER: Well, yes, it could be, except for the size. The +size computed out to 25 kilometers long. That's 15-1/2 miles. +KING: OK, now, when you see something like this, Keith, how do +you react? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, I react by- Personally, I have great +respect for Don and his magazine. He's one of the better- He's +thoughtful and intelligent and so forth. +KING: Obviously. +Mr. THOMPSON: Now, let me say, though, that the photograph- And +it may be exactly what he's saying, but the point is, year after +year, decade after decade, photographs have been presented which +fall between- fall in a category which are not accepted by the +scientific establishment. They may be real but, nevertheless- So +the photos become part of a modern mythology. +Mr. ECKER: Well, he's absolutely correct, Larry. He is +correct. There have been many, many photographs over the years +that have proved to be fraudulent. However, what we have to look +at are what facts would support this? What did the Soviets, +themselves, say? Now, according to Dr. Popovitch, when she spoke +to her contacts not only in Glavcosmos but also within the Soviet +politburo - and she's a very highly-placed person in Soviet society +- it came out that Premier Gorbachev and President Bush held this +at the very top of their agenda in their meeting at Yalta- or, I'm +sorry, Malta. Yalta was a few years ago. The story was so- +KING: In other words, they've discussed this photograph? +Mr. ECKER: Yes, that's correct. +KING: You know that for a fact? +Mr. ECKER: This is what I was told by Dr. Popovitch from her +contacts. +KING: OK. All right, let me get a break and then I want to +come right back and pick up on this with Keith Thompson - his book +is Angels and Aliens - and Don Ecker, research director of UFO +Magazine. This is Larry King Live - Richard Simmons on Monday. +Don't go away. +{Commercial break} +KING: Our guests are Keith Thompson, author of Angels and +Aliens, and Don Ecker of UFO Magazine. We're going to go to your +calls. We have limited time tonight, unfortunately. We want to do +more on this. +I would say this, Don. What's your theory on why the +Government would cover up? +Mr. ECKER: Well, there are any number of theories, Larry. +KING: Give me one. Give me one that you like. +Mr. ECKER: OK, something about the social fabric tearing apart. +I think they're afraid of it if, in fact- +KING: Every administration believes that? Every NATO person, +every person who knows about this shares that belief? +Mr. ECKER: It's hard to say whether they all know it or believe +it. I think, as time has gone on, the coverup, for whatever reason +it was initially begun- and incidentally, this entire era began the +time the National Security Act was signed into law. +KING: Uh-huh. So you buy the coverup theory? +Mr. ECKER: Oh, without a doubt. Without a doubt. +KING: OK. Pensacola, Florida, hello. +5th CALLER: {Pensacola, Florida} Yes, I would like to know why +so many UFO investigators believe the Walters UFO pictures of Gulf +Breeze, Florida, are real, when it's been shown so many times in +the media that they could have been faked through double exposure? +KING: Keith? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, actually, many years now after those photos +have been examined the UFO community is coming around to recognize +the likelihood - very strong likelihood - that those photographs +are faked. And why did it take such a long time? There's a +fundamental- you know, a fundamental love and fundamental being +pulled into this over and over and over in the UFO field that +somehow is the need to believe. +KING: Medford, Oregon, hello. +6th CALLER: {Medford, Oregon} Howdy. I would like to know why, +with the millions and millions of self-focus videocameras and .35 +millimeter cameras, all of the so-called photographic evidence of +UFO's is always out of focus, blurry, and pretty poor quality? +Mr. ECKER: Well, Larry, I'd like to answer that. +KING: Sure. +Mr. ECKER: That's not necessarily true. As a matter of fact, +one of the people that UFO Magazine has known for quite a while, +out in Yucaipa, California - the UFO video clearinghouse - has +thousands of tapes. Many of them have come in from people with +camcorders and there's absolutely- In many of these cases these are +very clear. Now, as to whether they're a true UFO, of course, is +something else. As we all know, many times people have mistaken +things. +KING: Yes. +Mr. ECKER: But there is still that 10 percent. +KING: Do we know why, Keith, they always land in `Kyacook, +Iowa,' and never Washington? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, they do land in sparsely-populated- +KING: Outside of `Kyacook.' +Mr. THOMPSON: That's right and, theoretically, always on the +back porch of someone named `Billy-Bob.' +KING: That's right. +Mr. THOMPSON: That's the popular mythology. And in fact, they +do avoid- They do seem to favor sparsely-populated areas. +KING: And guys named `Billy-Bob.' They like them. +Mr. THOMPSON: That's right. {laughs} +KING: Ouwerkerk, Holland, hello. +6th CALLER: {Ouwerkerk, The Netherlands} Hello, Ouwerkerk. I +hope to see you in Wetten, Dass with Thomas Gottschalk. +KING: Yes, he's invited me. I've agreed to go on. What's your +question? +6th CALLER: OK. My question is, what do you think about the +crop circles in Europe? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, I think they're extraordinary- +KING: Oh, that turned out to be false, right? +Mr. THOMPSON: Well, there were a couple of guys who confessed +to doing- +KING: Yes. +Mr. THOMPSON: -to committing a couple of hoaxes. +Mr. ECKER: Well, Larry, as a matter of fact, in our last issue +we had an updated news story. As a matter of fact, we sent a press +release to CNN, to your show, and to a number of other press +agencies, explaining how this was absolutely and patently +impossible that these two guys had performed all these crop +circles, and we've never heard back from anyone. For example, last +year- +KING: Do you agree with that, Keith? +Mr. THOMPSON: That's what consistently happens in the field, +which is that when a couple of guys come forward and admit to +faking a couple of anything, or are exposed as faking, then the +debunkers can use that to say, `Well, the whole thing is probably +fake, the whole thing-' +Mr. ECKER: Absolutely. Absolutely correct. +Mr. THOMPSON: -but in fact, there are too many that simply +can't be explained. +KING: What do you gut-believe? +Mr. THOMPSON: My gut-belief is that we're dealing with +something that is much larger than we are and that every attempt +will grab- you know, every attempt to explain it will grab some +part of it but, in the long run, every theory we have about it will +reveal more about us in the long run. +KING: Back with more of Don Ecker and Keith Thompson on Larry +King Live. Don't go away. +{Commercial break} +KING: We're running close on time. Keith, why do you believe +the Government may know this and not reveal it? +Mr. THOMPSON: I think what the Government may well not be +revealing is they don't have the answers, either. If this is a +phenomenon that can transcend time and space, if aliens can pull +people out of their beds and out of their cars with impunity, the +very idea that we think the Government is still monolithic and must +have all the answers- If they don't have the answers, they're not +going to admit it. +KING: Don, is this the decade we learn for sure? +Mr. ECKER: That's hard to say, Larry. But, you know, we have +to take very quickly a real close look at this. Five hundred years +ago next year, Columbus left Europe and found a new world. It took +him months to get over here. Today, we do it in hours. Why? Do +we have faster sailing ships? No, we have different technology. +KING: Yes. +Mr. ECKER: And in our recent humanity here on this planet - and +we've had civilization for roughly 10,000 years - we've only had +atomic power for 46. +KING: Yes. +Mr. ECKER: Now, who knows what we're going to have in the next +few? I think more is going to come to light, yes. +KING: Thanks a lot.

FILE: UFO2493 + + +PART 1 + + + +I have decided to come out of the closet and let the UFO community know +everything that I know and have seen and that my sources have communicated to +me over the last 17 years regarding the UFO question. I have uploaded the +truth to several who have gained my trust over the last few months. Those +people are Tom Mickus, Don Ecker, Stan Friedman, Bryon Smith, John Lear, and +one other who`has chosen not to be identified at this time. I am releasing +this information at this time to the public and I am releasing those named +people from their bond of silence regarding the subject. Once you read the +information you will be clear on my past actions and on what I know. I hope +that you all can come to some kind of pact on sharing information as what I am +releasing is for the most part documented and in your hands but not shared. +Some of the information you have never had before and will provide serious +UFOlogists with much fertile ground for research. I hope you all can benefit +and most of all I hope this helps to expose the whole issue as quickly as +possible. + +Merry Christmas, +Bill + + ======================================== + + +When I released PUBLIC02.DOC my purpose was to expose the documents and +information released by William Moore et al as being fraudulent and +misleading. Indeed it was. MAJESTIC TWELVE is an advisory team of +scientists who's only purpose is to evaluate information and make +recomendations. This team does exist as a scattered bunch of men who do +not meet regularly as a group. The information gathered by the control +group MAJI is released to MAJESTIC TWELVE when study is needed. MAJESTIC +TWELVE has never been given the whole truth. MAJI is the MAJESTIC AGENCY +FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE and has total control of information and interface +with the aliens in dealings with the United States Government. + +Some of the documents released by Moore were changed from the original +with the deliberate intent to mislead UFO researchers. I do not know who +is responsible but I believe that the Government is behind the whole thing. +The rest of the documents are deliberate frauds. I am releasing the truth +which I have obtained from excellent sources within the intelligence +community in order to set the record straight. + +MAJI is the sole agency in control and responsible for every past and +present consequence of contact with the alien presence. MAJIC is the +security classification of all projects and information connected with the +aliens, their craft, their bases, and dealings with the United States +Government. MAJIC means MAJI CONTROLED. MAJIC is the highest security +classification in the nation. + +The name of the overall project is GRUDGE and always has been. GRUDGE is +the proword for AQUARIUS and a few other projects as you will see when you +read the rest of this file. + +The AQUARIUS document released by Moore which he claims was given to him +by Mr. Graham was changed and I am including a reconstructed document as it +was presented to me by one of my sources. I am also including all the +information (in short form) that I presently have regarding the U.S. +Government and the Aliens. This information has been reviewed by 3 +different people who know the information but do not know each other and +they have made some corrections to the document. If the information +deviates somewhat from information that I have previously released it is +due to those corrections. My previous information was from memory of +documents seen over 16 years ago and I am pleased that my memory has +withstood the rigors of time quite well. In case you doubt that I had the +information previous to this release you may check with Stan Friedman, Tom +Mickus, Don Ecker, John Lear, and Bryon Smith as I had given the +information to them some time ago. + +Any document you see where I stated that MAJESTIC TWELVE was the control +group was a test of Moore et al and was never to be posted or released +publicly. The public posting of those documents was done by Jim Spieser +against my wishes. He was told that the information was mixed as a test +but he posted them anyway. They contain true and false information and +should be ignored. The information contained in this file is true and +correct to the best of my knowledge and to the knowledge of my sources. +THIS IS THE ONLY FILE REGARDING THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ALIENS THAT I CAN +HONESTLY SAY IS THE TRUE INFORMATION IN WHOLE AS I KNOW IT. It is backed +by the John Lear Hypothesis, Paul Bennewicz' information, William +Stienman's information, the Fenwick interview, and other bits of +information which is in the hands of UFOLOGISTS. The test of time will +prove this information to be true and correct. Nothing in this file +contradicts my PUBLIC02.DOC. This file should clear the air regarding my +statements and actions thus far. In this file you will find information +which you have never had before and it should open up numerous paths for +SERIOUS UFO researchers to explore. + +I have many documents and letters to back up this information much of +which I have already released and much of which is the product of your own +research. John Lear has in his possession many letters and documents which +will also back up this file. William Stienman is another. I would also +direct you to Don Ecker's SPOOK.DOC, and to bits of Moore's information +(fraudulent though it may be it does contain some truth). The Fenwick +interview is another source of information, along with the FEDEX files on +Paranet Alpha. The Bill English file is another excellent source as he really +did read the GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO. 13. The letter from the man who +participated in Project PLUTO is right on the money although he mistook the +term PLUTO/POUNCE as being project PLUTO that he worked on. He was a part of +POUNCE which comes under Project PLUTO thus PLUTO/POUNCE. The first word is +always the Proword and parent project while the second word is the project +itself. + +Another FEDEX file contains the account of a man who worked at AREA 51 in +Nevada and stumbled upon Project REDLIGHT. The correct name is +GRUDGE/REDLIGHT. Put ALL your information together from ALL your different +files you will see that this information is all there for you to see and verify +from different sources who neither know each other or even know about each +other in most instances. It is all there and all you need to do is put it +together. I must admit that I had a much easier time of it having seen the +information and having excellent sources. I knew what to look for, but at +least I looked. + +William Moore must know much more than he lets on. He has to know +something other than the phony information that he has released or he would +not go to such pains to alter the information (by his own admission). I +cannot believe that he has been so completely duped after having read "The +Roswell Incident". + + + TOP SECRET/MAJIC + + + EXECUTIVE CORRESPONDENCE + EXECUTIVE BRIEFING + + SUBJECT: + + MAJI + + PROJECT GRUDGE/AQUARIUS (TS/MAJIC) + + (Graphic of finned rocket enclosed in + circle bisected vertically by dashes.) + + + ATTENTION + + THIS DOCUMENT WAS PREPARED BY MAJI. + MAJI IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS SUBJECT MATTER. + + + + DOCUMENT CONTROL: ECN 0001 + +(Graphic of world + in circle.) CLASSIFIED BY: MJ1/MAJI + + DECLASSIFY ON: EXEMPT + + TOP SECRET/MAJIC + + PROJECT AQUARIUS + + +(TS/ORCON) (PROWORD): GRUDGE Contains 16 volumes of documented +information collected from the beginning of the United States' +investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Identified Alien +Crafts (IAC). The Project was originally established in 1953, by order of +President Eisenhower, under control of CIA and MAJI. In 1960, the +Project's name was changed from Project SIGN to Project Aquarius. The +Project was funded by CIA confidential funds (non-appropriated). The Project +assumed full responsibility for investigation and intelligence of UFOs/IACs Dec +1969 after Project Grudge/Blue Book was closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius +was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and intelligence +information from UFO/IAC sightings and contacts with alien life forms. This +orderly file of collected information has been used to advance the United +States' Space Program. + + +(TS/ORCON) The preceeding briefing is an historical account of the United +States Government's investigation of Aerial Phenomenas, Recovered Alien +Aircraft, and contacts with extra- terrestrial Life Forms. + + + TOP SECRET/MAJIC + + THE PROJECTS UNDER PROJECT AQUARIUS + + +1. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT PLATO: (PROWORD: AQUARIUS) Originally +established as part of Project SIGN in 1954. Its mission was to establish +diplomatic relations with Aliens. This Project was successful when +mutually acceptable terms were agreed upon. These terms involved the +exchange of technology for secrecy of Alien presence and non interference +in Alien affairs. Aliens agreed to provide MAJI with a list of human +contacts on a periodic basis. This Project is continuing at a site in New +Mexico. + +2. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT SIGMA: (PROWORD: AQUARIUS) Originally +established as part of Project SIGN in 1954. Became a separate project in +1976. Its mission was to establish communication with Aliens. This +Project met with positive success (sic) when in 1959, the United States +established primative communications with the Aliens. On April 25, 1964, a +USAF intelligence officer met with Aliens at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. The +contact lasted for approximately three hours. After several attempted +methods of communicating the intelligence officer managed to exchange basic +information with the Aliens (Atch 7). This Project is continuing at a site +in New Mexico. + +3. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT REDLIGHT: (PROWORD GRUDGE) Originally +established in 1954. Its mission was to test fly a recovered Alien +aircraft. First attempts resulted in destruction of the craft and death of +the pilot. This Project was resumed in 1972. This Project is continuing +in Nevada. + +4. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT SNOWBIRD: (PROWORD REDLIGHT) Originally +established in 1954. Its mission was to develop, using conventional +technology, and fly a flying saucer type craft for the public. This +Project was successful when a craft was built and flown in front of the +press. This Project was used to explain UFO sightings and to divert public +attention from Project REDLIGHT. + + + TOP SECRET/MAJIC + + +MAJESTY--------The Proword for MAJI. The Proword for MAJESTIC TWELVE. The + Proword for GRUDGE. MAJESTY is the only word on the cover sheet + of the AQUARIUS document. It is plain that the executive + decision makers are MAJESTY. MAJESTY is the name of all the + efforts combined. On the executive level MAJESTY IS EVERYTHING + TO DO WITH THE ALIENS AND EVERYTHING CONNECTED WITH THEM. The + way intelligence and TOP SECRET information is protected + accounts for the previous confusion regarding the control of + this subject. Everything under MAJESTY is broken down into + compartments and difficult to trace to a higher authority. ALL + information of important nature of any kind is handled in this + manner and is designed to confuse those who would attempt to + uncover the secret. MAJESTY IS THE WORD YOU ALL HAVE BEEN + LOOKING FOR THAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER. + +MAJI-----------MAJESTIC AGENCY for JOINT INTELLIGENCE + The TOP SECRET/MAJIC project control group + responsible for EVERY ASPECT OF INTERFACE WITH + THE ALIEN LIFE FORMS INCLUDING SECURITY & + INTELLIGENCE, AND DISINFORMATION TO PREVENT + PUBLIC OR FOREIGN DISCLOSURE OF THE ALIEN + PRESENCE. MAJI IS RESPONSIBLE ONLY TO THE + PRESIDENT. (THIS IS WHY ALL DOCUMENTS + REFERRING TO "MAJESTIC" OR ANY OTHER FORM OF + THAT NAME ARE WRONG.) MAJI IS ONGOING IN + WASHINGTON DC. + +MAJESTIC TWELVE-----A selected team of experts in many different fields who + evaluate information, technology, biology and other facets + of the alien presence in order to better understand the + phenomenon. MAJESTIC TWELVE makes recommendations and + presents scientific dirrection when needed. MAJESTIC + TWELVE does not know all the information and does not meet + as a group. Members are given information on a need to know + basis only. Biologists, for example, are not given information + regarding any other subject. + +MAJIC----------SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF ALL MAJI AND + AQUARIUS INFORMATION. MAJIC MEANS "MAJI + CONTROLLED". MAJIC IS THE HIGHEST SECURITY + CLASSIFICATION IN THE NATION. + +MJ-1-----------DIRECTOR OF MAJI. THE DIRECTOR OF THE CIA IS + USUALLY MJ-1 AND REPORTS ONLY TO THE + PRESIDENT. (OTHER MEMBERS OF MAJI ARE + DESIGNATED MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, etc. This is why + MJ-12 CANNOT BE USED AS A NAME FOR THE CONTROL + GROUP AS IT WOULD CAUSE CONFUSION IN MEANING, + i.e. (IS IT REFERRING TO MJ-12 THE PERSON OR + MJ-12 THE GROUP.) ANY REFFERENCE TO MJ-12 IS + TO A PERSON AND NOTHING ELSE. (THIS IS WHY + ANY DOCUMENT REFFERING TO "MJ-12" AS A "GROUP" + IS WRONG.) + +BLUE TEAM------THE FIRST PROJECT RESPONSIBLE FOR + REACTION/RECOVERY OF DOWNED/CRASHED ALIEN + CRAFT AND/OR ALIENS. THIS WAS AN AIR FORCE + MATERIAL COMMAND PROJECT. + +SIGN-----------THE SECOND PROJECT RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTION + OF INTELLIGENCE AND DETERMINING WHETHER ALIEN + PRESENCE CONSTITUTED A THREAT TO THE NATIONAL + SECURITY. SIGN ABSORBED BLUE TEAM. THIS WAS + AN AIR FORCE/CIA PROJECT. + +GRUDGE---------THE OVERALL PROJECT WITH THE SAME MISSION AS + SIGN. GRUDGE ABSORBED SIGN. GRUDGE IS THE + PROWORD FOR AQUARIUS. + +AQUARIUS-------THE THIRD AND FINAL PROJECT. AQUARIUS + ABSORBED ALL PREVIOUS PROJECTS. FUNDED BY CIA + CONFIDENTIAL NON APPROPRIATED FUNDS. THE + PURPOSE OF PROJECT AQUARIUS IS TO COLLECT ALL + SCIENTIFIC, TECHNOLOGICAL, MEDICAL AND + INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION FROM UFO/IAC + SIGHTINGS AND CONTACTS WITH ALIEN LIFE FORMS. + THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING. This project began + as an Air Force project under SIGN but was + taken over by NSA. ALL PROJECTS CONNECTED + WITH THE ALIENS ARE NOW INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY + CONTROLLED. + +SIGMA----------SIGMA WAS TASKED WITH COMMUNICATING WITH THE + ALIENS. THIS OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL. + +PLATO----------PLATO WAS ESTABLISHED TO FORM DIPLOMATIC + RELATIONS WITH THE ALIEN LIFE FORMS. THIS + PROJECT WAS SUCCESSFUL. THIS PROJECT IS + ONGOING. + +POUNCE---------THIS PROJECT WAS FORMED TO RECOVER ALL + DOWNED/CRASHED CRAFT AND ALIENS. THIS PROJECT + PROVIDED COVER STORIES/OPERATIONS TO MASK TRUE + ENDEAVOR WHEN NECCESSARY. COVERS WHICH HAVE + BEEN USED: CRASHED EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT, + CONSTRUCTION, MINING, ETC. THIS PROJECT HAS + BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING. + +PLUTO----------ESTABLISHED TO EVALUATE ALL UFO/IAC + INFORMATION PERTAINING TO SPACE TECHNOLOGY. + THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING. PLUTO IS THE PROWORD + FOR POUNCE. + +REDLIGHT-------MISSION WAS TO TEST FLY RECOVERED ALIEN CRAFT + THIS PROJECT WAS POSTPONED AFTER EVERY ATTEMPT + RESULTED IN DESTRUCTION OF THE CRAFT AND DEATH + OF THE PILOTS. THIS PROJECT WAS CARRIED OUT + AT AREA 51 IN NEVADA (GROOM LAKE), and some flights were + performed at DREAMLAND. PROJECT REDLIGHT WAS RESUMED IN 1972. + THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL. UFO SIGHTINGS OF + CRAFT ACCOMPANIED BY BLACK HELICOPTORS ARE PROJECT REDLIGHT + ASSETS. THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING AT AREA 51 IN NEVADA. + +SNOWBIRD-------Established as a COVER for Project REDLIGHT. + A flying saucer "TYPE" craft was built using + conventional technology. It was unvieled to + the press and flown in public on several + occassions. The purpose was to explain + accidental sightings or disclosures of + REDLIGHT as having been the SNOWBIRD craft. + This was a very successful disinformation + operation. This Project is only activated + when needed. It has not been used for many + years. This project is currently in mothballs + until needed again. (This is another reason + that Moore's information is fraudulent.) + +LUNA-----------CODE NAME FOR THE ALIEN UNDERGROUND BASE. THE BASE IS ALIEN + CONTROLLED AND DELTA/ALIEN PROTECTED. LUNA IS ONGOING IN NEW + MEXICO. ALIEN DETACHMENTS EXIST AT DREAMLAND AND AT AREA 51. + +FAR SIDE OF THE MOON ---- + An alien base on the dark side of the moon where large + machines were sighted by the Apollo Astronauts. It is + believed to be a mining operation. + +NRO------------NATIONAL RECON ORGANIZATION. BASED AT FORT CARSON, + COLORADO. RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY FOR ALL ALIEN OR + ALIEN CRAFT CONNECTED PROJECTS. USE UNMARKED BLACK + HELICOPTORS. FOR ALL ALIEN OR ALIEN CRAFT CONNECTED + ONGOING. + +DELTA----------SECURITY TEAMS FROM NRO ESPECIALLY TRAINED TO PROVIDE + ALIEN TASKED PROJECTS/LUNA SECURITY. (MEN IN BLACK) + THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING. + +GABRIEL--------THIS PROJECT WAS TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A LOW FREQUENCY + PULSED SOUND GENERATOR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE + ALIEN WEAPONS AND CRAFT WOULD BE VULNERABLE TO THIS + WEAPON. IT IS QUESTIONABLE WHETHER THIS PROJECT EXISTS + TODAY. IT WAS DERIVED FROM TECHNOLOGY CAPTURED FROM + GERMANY DURING AND AFTER WWII. My contacts have + verified its previous existance but cannot verify + whether it is ongoing or has been terminated. + +EXCALIBUR------ESTABLISHED TO DEVELOP A WEAPON WHICH WOULD DESTROY THE + ALIEN UNDERGROUND BASE AND ANY FUTURE UNDERGROUND BASES + WHICH THE ALIENS MIGHT CONSTRUCT. IT IS TO BE A MISSILE + CAPABLE OF PENETRATING 1000 METERS OF TUFA/HARD PACKED + SOIL SUCH AS THAT FOUND IN NEW MEXICO WITH NO + OPERATIONAL DAMAGE. MISSILE APPOGEE NOT TO EXCEED + 30,000 FEET AGL IMPACT MUST NOT DEVIATE IN EXCESS OF 50 + METERS FROM DESIGNATED TARGET. DEVICE WILL CARRY A 1 + MEGATON NUCLEAR WARHEAD. THIS PROJECT IS ONGOING AT WX + DIVISION, LANL, LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO, AND IS STILL IN + DEVELOPMENT. + +ALIEN CRAFT----THESE ARE FLYING CRAFT WHICH USE GRAVITY AND ELECTRO + MAGNETIC FIELDS TO FLY. I REALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE + PRINCIPLE BUT SOMEHOW GRAVITY CAN BECOME ELECTRO- + MAGNETIC ENERGY AND THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I KNOW TO + EXPLAIN IT. THE CRAFT HAS AN ATOMIC REACTOR ON BOARD + ABOUT THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL. THE CRAFT CAN "CLOAK". + THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD IT IS THAT IT BENDS LIGHT RAYS (AND + CAN DO THE SAME WITH RADAR) SO THAT YOU LOOK AT THE + CRAFT AND SEE ONLY WHAT IS BEHIND IT. THEY CAN DO THIS + WHEN THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN. A LOT OF THE + TECHNOLOGY OF OUR STEALTH BOMBER CAME OUT OF THIS. A + LOT OF THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE ALIEN CRAFT THAT I + SAW HAD A LOT TO DO WITH EINSTIENS THEORY OF RELATIVITY. + THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION REGARDING SPACE/TIME + "FOLDS". MY EDUCATION WAS NOT EVEN IN THIS BALLPARK SO + I REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH BUT I LEARNED THAT THEIR + CRAFT ARE NOT ALL THAT STABLE IN AIR (THATS WHY SO MANY + CRASH) BUT ARE STILL ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT WE HAVE ONLY + DREAMED OF. THEY CAN TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE + ACROSS/THROUGH A "FOLD" IN A VERY SHORT TIME.- + +ALF----------- ALF IS THE ABREVIATION FOR "ALIEN LIFE FORM". THIS IS + THE ONLY TERM THAT I HAVE SEEN USED TO DESCRIBE THE + ALIENS. THE ALIEN LIFE FORMS ARE "MALEVOLENT" + (DANGEROUS). THEY REQUIRE BLOOD AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL + FLUIDS TO SURVIVE. YES THEY DO LIKE ICE CREAM (NO JOKE) + BUT THEY CANNOT LIVE ON IT. THEY ABDUCT HUMANS AND + ANIMALS TO PROCURE THESE FLUIDS. THE ALIEN LIFE FORMS + ABDUCT HUMANS AND IMPLANT A VERY SMALL DEVICE/DEVICES IN + OR NEAR THE HUMAN BRAIN WHICH GIVES THEM TOTAL CONTROL + OVER THAT HUMAN. THE IMPLANTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO + DETECT BUT CAN BE DETECTED. THE DOCUMENTS STATED THAT + ALL ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE THE IMPLANTS HAVE RESULTED IN THE + DEATH OF THE PATIENT (1972). THEY PERFORM SURGICAL + OPERATIONS ON HUMANS. THEY COLLECT SPERM/OVA AND OTHER + BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FROM HUMANS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS HAS + YET TO BE DETERMINED. THESE ABDUCTIONS ARE ONGOING. A + LIST OF ABDUCTEES IS PROVIDED BY THE ALIENS TO MAJI ON A + PERIODIC BASIS. THE ALIEN ALSO CLAIM TO HAVE PLAYED A + VERY SIGNIFICANT PART IN THE WORLDS RELIGIOUS HISTORY + AND HAVE PROVIDED MAJI WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE. (See + description at the end of this document.) + +UFO/IAC--------UFO IS UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT AND CAN BE ANYTHING + UNIDENTIFIED BUT USUALLY REFERS TO SUSPECTED ALIEN + CRAFT. IAC IS IDENTIFIED ALIEN CRAFT. + +BLUE BOOK------THIS WAS AN AIR FORCE UFO/ALIEN INTELLIGENCE + COLLECTION AND DISINFORMATION PROJECT. THIS + PROJECT WAS TERMINATED AND ITS COLLECTED + INFORMATION AND DUTIES WERE ABSORBED BY + PROJECT AQUARIUS. CLASSIFIED REPORT NAMED + "GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO. 13" IS THE ONLY + SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION DERIVED FROM THE + PROJECT AND IS UNAVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. + (FROM WHAT I READ FROM BILL ENGLISH IT SEEMS + THAT HE REALLY SAW THIS REPORT AS HE DESCRIBES + THE SAME INFORMATION THAT I SAW IN + "GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO. 13.) + +I have information now (its about time) that the existance of +Project GABRIEL has been confirmed. The weapon was developed +and assembled at Ling Tempco Vought in Anahiem California. +It was described to me as being able to totally level ANY +man made structure from a distance of 2 miles. It was tested +at White Sands Proving grounds. It was developed between +1975 and 1978. It is a long horn shaped device connected to +a computer and amplifiers. + +I have also confirmed the existance of an alien craft at a +hanger at Edwards AFB. The hanger is at North Base. It has +been guarded by NON Edwards personnel (NRO - DELTA). The +guards had a badge that was red with a black triangle on the +face of the badge. No one was allowed near the hanger +without the badge. These people are no longer guarding the +hanger. The Edwards security force are instructed to check +the hanger each hour and report status. The hanger is locked +and no one is allowed inside. Edwards security personnel +have been instructed never to enter the hanger even if it has +been broken into. + +I have also confirmed the esistance of alien material at a +hanger designated HANGER 1051 at Edwards AFB. + + + + ---------------/\--------------- + / \ + / \ + ------------/------\------------ + / \ + / \ + ---------/------------\--------- + + +This is the insignia that is on the alien craft. It is +called a TRILATERAL insignia. I do not know what it means. +It is in GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO. 13 and my sources +confirm that this is the alien flag so to speak. + + +MALEVOLENT ALIEN LIFE FORM (ALF) DESCRIPTION + + +The typical MALEVOLENT (ALF) as represented thus far can be +described as follows: + + 1. Between 3 to 5 ft. in hieght. + + 2. Erect standing biped. Long thin legs. + + 3. Small build (thin). + + 4. Head larger than normal (to human proportions). + + 5. Absence of auditory lobes (external earlobes). + + 6. Absence of body hair. + + 7. Large, tear shaped eyes, opacque black with + veretical slit pupils (cats eye). + + 8. Eyes slanted approx 35 degrees + + 9. Small straight mouth, thin lips. + + 10. Arms resemble praying mantis (normal attitude). + Arms reach to knees (extended). + + 11. Long hands (small palm) + + 12. Claw like fingers, two short, two long. + (webbed) + + 13. Tough, gray skin, reptile like in texture. + + 14. Small feet, 4 small claw like toes. + + 15. Some Organs are similar to humans but developed + in a different evolutionary process. + + 16. The most significant finding is that they have + a Nonfunctioning digestive system and two + separate brains. Digestive system in those + examined were atrophied. Conforms to absence + of provisions in recovered craft. (Prelininary + finding) + + 17. Movement is deliberate, slow, precise. + + 18. (Secondary finding after study) + Alien subsistance requires that they must have + human blood and other human biological + substances to survive. In extreme + circumstances they can subsist on other animal + fluids. Food is converted to energy by + chlorophyl through photosynthesis and waste + products are excreted through skin. (Did they + evolve from plant life? Not known at this + time.) These creatures possess two separate + brains separated by mid cranial lateral bone + partition (anterior brain - posterior brain) + with no apparent connection between the two. + + + +GUEST-----------ALIEN LIFE FORM HELD PRISONER IN AN AREA KNOWN AS THE ICE + CAVE AT LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO. THERE WERE ORIGINALLY 16 + CAPTIVE ALIENS HELD AT THIS LOCATION. 15 HAVE DIED. THE + ALIEN "GUESTS" FURNISHED EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ON THE + ALIENS AND THEIR HISTORY WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "YELLOW + BOOK". THESE "GUESTS" WERE INDEED FED ICE CREAM AND LIKED + STRAWBERRY ABOVE ALL OTHER FLAVORS.

FILE: UFO2494 + + +PART 2 + + + +The is only one of many files which I intend to upload that +substantiate the information contained in my MAJIC.TXT. + Bill Cooper + +A series of PROJECT GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK reports have been +released over the years in connection with the USAF's +investigation into UFO's which was supposedly terminated with +the release of the Condon report in the late 1960's. Reports +1 through twelve of GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK were generally innocuous +and contained no classified or truly sensitive material. +There was a final report, #14 which was widely circulated and +about which an entire book was written: FLYING SAUCERS: AN +ANALYSIS OF THE AIR FORCE PROJECT BLUE BOOK SPECIAL REPORT +NO. 14 by Leon Davidson: the fifth edition was published in +1976 by Blue-Book Publishers; 64 Prospect St., White Plains, +New York 10606. Missing from public view, however, was +report #13. + +Several years ago, Bill English, son of an Arizona state +legislator and former captain in the Green Berets had been +asigned to an RAF 'listening post' north of London as an +information analyst. English was, in the course of his +duties, asked to prepare an analysis of the elusive GRUDGE 13 +report. On his discharge from his work at the 'listening +post' he returned to the United States and began to do a +little UFO research on his own. English had been no stranger +to the UFO phenominon. In Viet Nam he was a member of a +Special Forces investigative team that went in to retrieve a +B-52 that was forced down by a UFO and all the occupants +killed. Communications had been received from the B-52 +before it went down to the effect that it was "...under +attack by a UFO..", A "...large light...". The plane was +found intact, sitting in the jungle. There was no swath +indicative of a crash landing. Only the bottom of the +fuselage showed any damage, there was no damage to the +underside of the engine pods. Although the plane was +completely intact the entire crew had been mutilated. + +English, through contacts he still maintains has determined +that the US Government 'most definately' supports a 'project +dealing specifically with UFO's and captured aliens'. +According to what he has learned, the US government captured +a trio of aliens, and that as of mid 1981, one of the beings +was still alive in captivity. English also claims that "at +one point in the early 1950's until the mid 1960's the Air +Force maintained relocation and debriefing colonies for +people who had experienced close encounters of the 3rd and +4th kind. They were isolated for all intents and purposes +for the rest of their lives. He doubts that these colonies +are still in existence. + +English dictated 2 audio casettes outlining what he +remembered from the Grudge 13 report. These audio casettes +were transcribed into hand written notes by another person. +The information contained therein indicated what had been +suspected all along: that the US government was involved in +the greatest deception in the history of mankind and that not +only did flying saucers exist but that the government had +several in secret storage and had captured at least 3 live +aliens. + +The following is a summary of what Bill English remembers +from what he read during that day in June, 1977 of PROJECT +GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK REPORT NO 13. + +************************************************************* + +In Box, diplomatic pouch under lock and key system. Lock had +been opened, pouch was easily accessed. Standard diplomatic +couriers pouch marked American Embassy Couriers, contained +pouch serial number JL327Delta (JL327D?).

Subsection 2, Analysis +Report, J. Allen Hynek, LtCol. Friend. Appendix continued on +for about 5 pages. Opening subject page consisted of a +report of the findings as written by LtCol. Friend and his +analysis. + +Must stress at this point that the version seen was +annotated. There were inserts that were added to this copy +after it had been initially printed. Sections remembered +very vividly are the photographs and the reports concerning +captive sights of various UFO's to include Mexico, Sweden, +United States and Canada. There were also what was then +classified Close Encounters of the 3rd kind. It was made +very clear that these people whom it was determined had +genuine CE 3's were move in the middle of the night by Air +Force personnel and relocated to various sites in the mikwest +and northwest parts of the United kStates. In many cases +these people experienced physical ailments from exposure to +various types of radiation. + +One case especially noted and remembered very vividly was +entitled 'Darlington Farm Case' out of Ohio. Case apparently +took place in October 1953. Man, wife and 13 year old son +were sitting down at dinner table. As they sat there the +lights in the farm house began to dim. Dogs and animals +raised rucus on outside. 13 year old boy got up from dinner +table to see what was going on. Called his mother and father +to come look at the funny lights in the sky. Father and +mother got up and as they got up the son went outside into +the yard. Father and mother went out onto the porch. When +they got out on the porch one of the dogs broke loose from +leash beside house and came running around front. Boy began +chasing it out into the open field. As mother and father +watched the light came down from the sky. They described it +as a round ball of fire and it began to hover over field +where boy and dog had run to. As they stood and watched, the +mother and father heard the boy start screaming for help +whereupon the father grabbed his shotgun which was right next +to the door and began to run out into the field with the +mother following. When the father got to the field he saw +his son being carried away by what looked like little men, +into this huge fiery looking object. As it took off the +father fired several rounds at the object, to no avail. They +found dog, its head was crushed but no sign of boy or any +other footprints of the little men who apparently carried him +off. Father immediately called Darlington police and they +immediately came out to envestigate. The official report +read that the boy had run off and was lost in the forest +which bordered the farm. Within 48 hours the Air Force made +the determination that the family was to be relocated and the +mother and father were picked up by Air Force Intelligence +and all personal belongings and possessions were loaded into +U.S. Air Force trucks and moved to a notrhwestern relocation +site. + +The mother was in shock and had to go through a great deal of +psychotherapy and deprogramming as did father. One +interesting aspect about this case was classification under +the Air Force report which read it was a genuine CE 3 and +that for the good of the national security the mother and +father had been relocated to relocation zone Z21-14. Not +sure whether this indicated map grid coordinates or latitude +longitude. According to the report there were at least 4 +relocation sites across the United States. Depending upon +which type of encounter these people had, the report +indicated that there were extensive medical facilities +available at these relocation sites to deal with all medical +emergencies up to and including radiation poisoning. The +report mentioned a site located in the Utah-Nevada area, but +no indication of its purpose or what it was for. + +Report gave a clear indication of reports of human +mutilations, most notably was a case witnessed by Air Force +personnel in wich an Air Force Sgt. E-6 by the name of +Jonathon P. Lovette was observed being taken captive aboard +what appeared to be a UFO at the White Sands Missle Test +Range in New Mexico. This abduction took place in March of +1956 at about 0300 local and was witnessed by Major William +Cunningham of the United States Air Force Missile Test +Command near Holloman Air Force Base. + +Major Cunningham and Sgt. Lovette were out in a field +downrange from the launch sites looking for debris from a +missile test when Sgt. Lovette went over the ridge of a small +sand dune and was out of sight for a time. Major Cunningham +heard Sgt. Lovette scream in what was described as terror or +agony. The Major, thinking the Sgt. had been bitten by a +snake or something ran over the crest of the dune and saw +Sgt. Lovette being dragged into what appeared to him and was +descrived as being a silvery disk like object which hovered +in the air approximately 15 to 20 feet. Major Cunningham +described what appeared to be a long snake-like object which +was wrapped around the sargeants legs and was dragging him to +the craft. Major Cunningham admittedly froze as the sargeant +was dragged inside the disc and observed the disc going up +into the sky very quickly. Major Cunningham got on the jeep +radio and reported the incident to Missile Control whereupon +Millile Control confirmed a radar sighting. Search parties +went out into the field looking for Sgt. Lovette. Major +Cunninghams report was taken and he was admitted to the White +Sands Base Dispensary for observation. + +The search for Sgt. Lovette was continued for 3 days at the +end of which his nude body was found approximately 10 miles +downrange. The body had been mutilated; the tongue had been +removed from lower portion of the jaw. An incision had been +made just under the tip of the chin and extended all the way +back to the esophagus and larynx. He had been emasculated +and his eyes had been removed. Also, his anus had been +removed and there were comments in the report on the apparent +surgical skill of the removal of these items including the +genitalia. The report commented that the anus and genitalia +had been removed 'as though a plug' which in the case of the +anus extended all the way up to the colon. There was no sign +of blood within the system. The initial autopsy report +confirmed that the system had been completly drained of blood +and that there was no vascular collapse due to death by +bleeding. Subcomment was added that this was unusual because +anybody who dies or has complete loss of blood there is +vascular collapse. Also noted was that when the body was +found there were a number of dead predatory type birds within +the area who apparently had died after trying to partake of +the sargeants body. There were a number of extremely grisly +black and white photos. From all indications the body had +been exposed to the elements for at least a day or two. The +New Mexico sun in the desert is extremely hot and +dibilitating under normal circumstances. + +In this section of the report it also indicated that there +were numerous occasions in which a UFO tracked alongside of a +fired missile and on one occasion said missile was observed +being taken aboard a UFO while in flight. The speeds +indicated were absolutely phenomenal. (English's father had +told him privately that on more than one occasion he had +personally tracked what they termed as 'foo fighters'. +English's father was an electronic engineer by profession and +was fairly well versed on electronics engineering and design +and on more than one occasion he was involved in telemetry +programming of milliles. English's father is currently a +state legislator in Arizona.) + +The report also indicated that there were a number of +recovery teams that were activated specifically for the +purpose of recovering any and all evidence of UFO's and UFO +sightings. Most notably recorded in publication was what +they called Recovery Team Alpha. It was reported that Alpha +had been extremely active in a number of areas and on certain +occasions had travelled outside of the continental United +States. Alpha was based out of Wright Patterson Air Force +Base and was on the move constantly. + +Further information in the report consisted of such things as +reported sightings and where air force planes had been +destroyed or had combat encounters or had been attacked by +UFO's. Also there were autopsy reports of various human +mutilations. + +About midway through the report came a section which dealt +specifically with photographs. Each photo was labeled and +appendixed to certain reports. A number of photos in there +dealt with a recovery program of some type that took place in +the southwestern part of the United States. They did not +give a location name but they did give grid coordinates for +that area. There is no clear indication to exactly where it +was. The photos dealt with special teams that were called in +to recover a crashed UFO. It also dealt with alien bodies +and autopsy reports, autopsy type photographs, high quality, +color, 8 x 10, 5 x 7. + +Photo number 1 showed an alien being on an autopsy table +which is a metal with runnels and traps underneath to trap +fluid and feces. Body appeared to be an little short of 4 +feet. Table was about 7 foot. No clothing on body, no +genitalia, body completely heterous, head was rounded +cranium, slightly enlarged, eyes almond shaped, slits where +nose would be, extremely small mouth, receeding chin line, +holes where ears would be. Photo was taken at angle, side +view, looking at body from 45 degrees elevation, left hand +was visible, head was facing to left, body was right to left +position (head on right, feet on left), eyes were closed +appeared oriental-looking and almond shaped, left hand slight +longer than normal, wrist coming down just about 2 to 3 +inches above the knees. Wrists appeared to be articulated in +a fashion that allowed a double joint with 3 digit fingers. +Wrist was very slender. There was no thumb. A palm was +almost non-existent. The three fingers were direct extension +from the wrist. + +Color of the skin was bluish gray, dark bluish gray. At base +of the body there was a darker color, indicating body was +dead for some time. Body fluid or blood had settled to base +of body. This indicated that body had been examined before +beginning autopsy. + +Picture showed beginning stages of autopsy, following +standard procedure, body was slit from crotch to just under +chin and green viscuous liquid was in evidence. There were +internal organs but these could not be identified. Photos +thereafter concerned specific areas of internal organs of +what appeared as small cluster of a multi-valve heart or at +least 2 hearts within the cadaver. No accurate description +of autopsy report or what was found within corpse +accompanying photos. Indication that there was no stomach or +digestive track per se. Later analysis showed that fluid +within body was chlorophyl-based liquid which apparently +dealt with photosynthesis or similar process. The report +theorized that nourishment was taken in through mouth, +however since there is no digestive track or anything of this +nature, the waste products were excreted through skin. + +One section of report did specify that cadavers were +extremely odorous, but this could be accounted for by either +deterioration or a number of things, but theory was that +waste was excreted through pores of skin. They could only +theorize in report because there was no xenobiology. + +A report by Dr. J. Allen Hynek was recalled vividly which +indicated that he had also studied the information provided +by this particular case and that he felt that it was indeed a +genuine UFO capture and subsequently the alien was part of +UFO. Dr. Hynek was non-committal but did however sign the +report. Also indicated in report that he did not view bodies +personally, but viewed photographs and accompanying reports +from autopsies. + +Other photos dealt with a number of bodies which were +vivisectioned in various ways. At one point, a head was +removed from body and photographed and autopsy was performed +on head. The cranium was opened and brain matter was +photographed and evident. Interesting thing about photo was +that there was a ridgebone or dividing partition-type bone +running directly through center of skull, from front to back, +as though dividing two brains, one from the other. This +seemed apparent from the picture. The skin was completly +removed from cranial structure and the skull was layed bare +as much as possible. + +At one point the skull was cut directly in half and photo +showed under developed esophagus and nasal cavaties. No +clear photo of eye orbs as we know them, just photos of +complete vivisection of skull itself. + +Numerous photos of flesh of the being starting with cutaneous +and subcutaneous microphotographic plates. Appeared to be +cellular studies done under microscope and electron +microscope type photos. Extreme magnification of tissue +samples. + +************************************************************* + +This concluded Bill English statement which was transcribed +from 2 casette tapes. I obtained this handwritten memorandum +in August of 1987 from Paul Bennewitz during my visit with +him in Albuquerque. In September of 1988 I received a call +from Bill English. I asked for a chance to meet him and +discuss the Grudge 13 report. He said that this could be +arranged but that the meeting would have to be on his terms +for security reasons. He explained that there had been +several attempts on his life by persons unknown since he had +made the casette tapes about 6 years ago. We arranged a +meeting at a small airport in Virginia on September 16. I +was to sit in the lobby with by black flight bag and for +identification purposes I told Bill what I would be wearingj. +I had no telephone number for Bill. + +As I walked in the small airport lobby after a 3 hour drive +from Richmond I immediatily noticed 2 gentlemen who seemed +'out of place' for this locale. Both were wearing pin +striped 3 piece suits, both had on dark glasses. One was a +black gentleman. One was stationed inside the lobby door +looking out at the parking lot, one was leaning up against an +airline counter. I sat down and after a few minutes was +approached by a tall, bearded man in jeans and a heavy +jacket. He asked if I wanted to have a drink. We walked +outside and he introduced himself as Bill English. We drove +in Bills car into town to a local bar. About 5 minutes after +we ordered and had started to talk, the men I had seen at the +airport came into the bar and sat down. We left for Bill's +house and never saw the men again for the next 2 days. + +During the next 2 days I stayed with Bill and his wife and 2 +children in a small trailer in the middle of a field at his +farm. I asked him endless questions concerning the Grudge 13 +document, how he happened to see it, what happened to him +after he saw it and literally thousands of questions about +the content of the document. My impression of Bill English +was that he was totally honest, that he stood behind his +statements and recollection of the Grudge 13 papers, that he +was a devoted husband and father to his wifes 2 children. +That Bill English was ready to come forward and enter into +any debate regarding the legitimacy of the document and his +recollections thereof. Of Bills compassion for his father +and his fathers feelings concerning Bill and the reasons for +their occasional disagreements. I have tremendous respect +for Bill and what he has tried to do in getting this +information out to the public. It has been at tremendous +personal risk not to mention the ridicule by sponsered agents +such as Bill Moore who has stated that the Grudge 13 papers +are a fraud. (How would Bill Moore know?) + +What follows is additional information about the Grudge 13 +papers that I obtained from Bill during my visit. In +addition to the following Bill painstakingly drew many +sketches of the photos of different types of flying saucers, +the equipment obtained from them including a sketch of the +football sized nuclear generator and sketches of the autopsy +photos. + +From my notes taken during our 2 day meeting: Bill described +a photo taken of 3 live aliens. Very clear photo, aliens +standing against white tile wall, looking confused as if they +hsd been shoved, were looking in different directions. +Report said that aliens had contacted a U.S. Intelligence +Agency for initial 2 meetings, one at Holloman one at +Homestead. + +U.S. Air Force relocation personnel (for persons involved in +close encounters) were referred to in report as 'men in +black'. + +Major Cunningham was initially accused of murdering Sgt. +Jonathon P. Lovette. Charges were later dropped. + +Bill English's place of employment in England was RAF +Security Services Command, RAF Chicksands. + +Entire Grudge 13 report was written as if report was geared +toward preparation of defenses. + +Report told of ultrasonic weapons found in Germany at the end +of WW II that could shatter 4" thick armour. + +Report told of sensitive military and industrial areas at +which personnel experienced missing time. + +Report told about missing time expereinced with personnel +associated with North American x-15 rocket plane project. + +Report stated that there were 17 different extraterrestrial +species accounted for up to the time of the report. + +Extraterrestrials were referred to as A.L.F.'s, Alien Life +Forms in the report. + +Report referred to one UFO that was recovered and test flown. +The UFO blew up as the 2 Air Force pilots aboard attempted to +leave the atmosphere. English recalls the date as the mid +50's. + +Report refers to flying saucer program as Project 'Red Light' +and that a secret installation had been constructed in the +middle of the Atomic Energy Commission testing ground in +Nevada. + +At the time of the report 11 alien cadavers were being kept +at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. + +That additional alien cadavers were being stored at 4 to 5 +other medical institutions. + +That 2 flying saucers of extraterrestrial origin had been +tested in the wind tunnel at Langley, Va. + +That at the time of the report, 1 damaged disc was at Elgin +Air Force Base in Florida. + +That at the time of the report there had been 2 UFO incidents +at Ft. Riley, Kansas. + +That at the time of the report a detachment of the Alpha +recovery team was based at Randolph Air force Base. + +The report discussed civilian and military personnel who had +been terminated 'to eliminate potentially dangerous elements +to the national security'. + +That General James Doolittle had been mentioned several times +in the report with the notation that "His (Doolittle's) +predictions might be correct". There was no indication of +what those predictions might have been. + +A short segment containing the quotation, "By presidential +order, certain aspects of research had been undertaken." + +This report about Bill English and the Grudge 13 papers was +prepared by John Lear, 1414 Hollywood Blvd., Las Vegas, +Nevada 89110, telephone number (702) 438-8181, on October 7, +1988. + +This report was typed onto disc verbatim from the original +document which was sent by John Lear via Federal Express and +arrived on October 8, 1988 by Bill Cooper. I Bill Cooper do +swear that no changes were made and do swear that this is an +exact verbatim copy of the original. + +************************************************************* + + STATEMENT + + + + +I, William S. English, do hereby state and affirm that I +have met with Mr. John Olson Lear, on September 16-17, of +1988, and that we discussed my original report on my viewing +of the Grudge/Bluebook Report 13, in June of 1977. + +I Further state that whatever opinions Mr. Lear form or +express on this matter are entirely his own, and that I stood +behind my statements made originally when I came forward with +this matter, and that I continue to stand behind my +statements to this date. + +I further state that anyone saying that they have an +admission from me personally that this was a hoax is a liar +and that if I was in fact perpetrating a hoax I could have +found a better way of doing it.

Specifically, the material consisted of + three separate documents: + + (1) "The Ultimate Secret", originally dated 4 August 1989 and revised + most recently 5 May 1992, purporting to lay bare the inner workings + of the government's secret UFO projects, including the recovery of + alien technology and bodies from crashed UFOs, the exploitation of + this technology by a number of code-named government projects, and + the involvement of NASA and the SDI program in preparing for + conflict with alien invaders; + + (2) "The Dulce Report", dated 27 May 1992, describing an on-site + investigation of the Dulce and Archuleta Mesa area in New Mexico, + which purportedly proved beyond any doubt that there is nothing + there of any interest to UFO researchers despite persistent reports + to the contrary; and + + (3) "The K-2 Report", originally dated 28 July 1989 and revised 27 June + 1992, which purports to document the discovery of a genuine + "secret alien base" in the Pilot Peak area of Plumas County, + California. + + ParaNet quickly reviewed this material and posted it in its entirety + for our subscribers, pursuant to the permissions attached to the + material by the publisher.

This evaluation was based on a number of factors: + + (1) much of the information in "The Ultimate Secret" about Operation + Majestic Twelve and associated projects is clearly related to, + and probably derived from, earlier material which has been + dismissed as worthless by almost all reputable UFO researchers; + + (2) much of the information in "The Dulce Report" about Dulce and the + Archuleta Mesa contradicts information already provided to ParaNet + by other capable investigators; + + (3) some of the information in "The K-2 Report" is intrinsically + implausible (although, admittedly, not impossible), such as the + claim that a seasoned military intelligence operative "forgot" + his camera when rushing to document a UFO landing site, or that + by the next day that same landing site had been re-sodded by the + aliens to obliterate all the evidence. + + ParaNet received the three documents as uploads from a Mr. Jack L. + Mathias of Carson City, Nevada, who represented himself as the sole + public spokesman for the Project. But the reports themselves name + neither the authors of the documents nor the principals of the Phoenix + Project. Instead, they cryptically state that they are the work of + "former military personnel who have all been associated with + intelligence activities, and have knowledge of covert government + operations concerning UFO's". Given the sorry history of anonymous + documents and "former" government agents in the UFO community, ParaNet + felt it necessary to start its own investigation in an effort to + determine just who was behind the Phoenix Project and what their + motives might be. + + First we sent a letter to the post office box listed in the documents, + asking for further information about the group; but the letter was not + answered. We corresponded by electronic mail with Mr. Mathias, who + represents himself as an agent for the group, but he refused to provide + any of the information we requested. So much for the direct approach. + + Each document formally states that the Phoenix Project logo is a + registered trademark (presumably in the state of Nevada, since that is + where their mailing address is located), so we tried a query to the + Nevada trademark office in Carson City. That office informed us that + the state of Nevada has no record of any current trademarks under the + "Phoenix Project" name. They did say that articles of incorporation + were filed under the name of the Phoenix Project on 25 August 1988 by a + Mr. Thomas Naylor of Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the corporation failed + to file the names and addresses of its officers by 1 July 1989 as + required by Nevada law, as a result of which the incorporation was + revoked by the Nevada Secretary of State. And so we reached another + apparent dead end, except for one bit of trivia uncovered by a ParaNet + investigator in Las Vegas: An attorney named Thomas C. Naylor had + recently moved into an office building at 2810 West Charleston in Las + Vegas. + + Next we contacted the U.S. Postal Service in Carson City, Nevada to + determine the box holder for the Phoenix Project's publisher, Advent + Publishing Company. We were told that the box was registered to a + Richard T. Miller, whose address was given as a mobile-home park in + Carson City. Following this, we contacted the Clerk and Recorder's + office in Carson City, and determined that a Richard Miller is listed + with them as the legal owner of Advent Publishing. However, the + telephone number they gave us for Mr. Miller has been disconnected, and + directory assistance was unable to provide a new one. Another brick + wall. + + To this point, all attempts to verify the Phoenix Project's legitimacy + using conventional methods had proved futile, so we decided to try a + different approach. The Phoenix Project explicitly and emphatically + disclaims affiliation with any other groups using the name "Phoenix". + And just to make sure everyone gets the message, each document states + at the beginning that "[i]n particular, there is no affiliation with a + publisher known as America West, any of its publications, or the + individuals known as George and Desiree Green". Unfortunately, ParaNet + has uncovered evidence that these disclaimers may be intended to + conceal rather than to illuminate. + + America West, it turns out, is the publisher of a magazine called the + Phoenix Liberator, which carries large quantities of channelled + material alleged to originate with an entity from the Pleiades known as + "Hatonn". The Phoenix Liberator has come under fire recently from some + in the UFO community as anti-Semitic and neo-fascist. (See, for + example, "Hatonn's World: A Neo-Nazi ET?" by Don Ecker in the + July/August 1992 issue of UFO Magazine.) But "Hatonn" and his defenders + vehemently deny the charge, and the whole affair has been widely and + rather nastily trumpeted both on the net and in print. + + It seems that until recently America West Publishers and the Phoenix + Liberator were operated out of Tehachapi, California. But a few days + ago one of ParaNet's subscribers uploaded a response from "Hatonn" to + Don Ecker, which he said he had pulled down from the Phoenix Liberator + BBS; and with it he posted a new address for the Liberator. That + address was all too familiar: 2810 West Charleston Boulevard, Las + Vegas, Nevada--the same building, it seems, where an attorney named + Thomas Naylor also has his new office. + + And then another strange coincidence: A posting coming across the + Internet stated that before "Hatonn" channelled through his current + host, he used to convey his messages through a Mr. Richard Miller, who + started an organization which was known as the Solar Cross and which + was apparently a forerunner of the Phoenix Liberator. Is this the same + Richard Miller who owns the Phoenix Project's publisher, Advent + Publishing Company? + + We do not yet know if the Thomas Naylor who tried to incorporate the + Phoenix Project is the same Thomas Naylor who apparently shares 2810 + West Charleston with the new offices of the Phoenix Liberator. We do + not yet know if the Richard Miller who owns Advent Publishing is the + same Richard Miller who reportedly once channelled "Hatonn". In short, + we do not yet know if the Phoenix Project is truly an independent + organization, or merely another incarnation of America West Publishers + and the Phoenix Liberator. But the coincidences are certainly striking + and suggestive. And in light of this we again urge extreme caution in + dealing with the Phoenix Project material, until such time as a + definitive assessment of the Project's motives and reliability can be + made. + + ParaNet will keep you advised of our findings as they become available. + If you have any information about the Phoenix Project, especially + regarding its possible relationship with the Phoenix Liberator or + America West Publishers, please send it to Michael Corbin by Internet + mail to mcorbin@paranet.org; by Fidonet to 1:104/422; by U.S. Mail to + P.O.

Miller + + + A message from you, made public on many BBS's and pertaining mainly to + the Phoenix Project, was brought to my attention. In that message you + mention my name, the name of my company, and try to create an + impression that I am involved in some type of activity and have + relationships with others that is questionable. + + You state in your message: "based on striking and suggestive + circumstances," that there is a possible connection between myself, + Advent Publishing Company, and another publisher - known as America + West and one of their publications "The Phoenix Liberator." You fail to + clearly label your statements, or your presumptions, as "pure" + speculation. I find your technique of using such speculation, and the + end-result of that usage - guilt by implication - very offensive. + + The statement I refer to is - whether I am, or my company is, another + incarnation of America West and their people. The answer is an emphatic + - no. + + Let me set the record straight. I am a semi-retired electronic and + radio and television broadcast engineer. I am also the sole owner of + Advent Publishing Company. This Company is registered as a sole + proprietorship, in Carson County, State of Nevada. I operate this + business to occupy my spare time and to supplement my retirement + income. Neither myself, or my Company has any connection with America + West Publishing, their publication the "Phoenix Liberator," or any of + their numerous publications. I do not know them, and I have never had + any dealings with them. + + It should be perfectly clear and very obvious from what I've stated, + that I find the activities of America West and the content of the + "Phoenix Liberator" thoroughly disgusting. And that, Mr. Corbin, is the + overwhelming reason for my use of a strong disclaimer, disavowing any + relationship or affiliation with the above named organization, its + publications, and their known principals. + + You also raise the question as to whether I am the same Richard Miller + who, many years ago, communicated with an individual known as Hatonn + and started an organization known as the Solar Cross. + + My answer may startle you. Yes I am, and yes I did. However, I have not + been active in such activities for many years. I am answering this + question only because of your attempt to make an onerous association + between myself and America West, and the "Phoenix Liberator." An + association that doesn't exist. + + I can state, however, without reservation, that the "Phoenix Liberator" + is fraudulently using the name Hatonn and claiming he is the source of + their information. They have used the name of a respected Being as a + "drawing card" to entice the innocent and lend a degree of credibility + to the rubbish they publish. + + I am not the only one who might feel this way. In closing let me quote + a paragraph in a message sent to Jack Mathias by Don Allen, regarding + America West and the "Phoenix Liberator," on Fido_UFO: + + "Jack - Received your message and here is something to mull over. Just + remember that people who claim to channel "Higher Entities" should be + judged not only on their words, but also by their actions and ethics. I + have read a considerable amount of "Hatonn's" material and it does not + leave me feeling edified, uplifted or enlightened. It is very + condemnatory. It is, I submit, not of the Light. These aren't the words + of a "Christed being"...they are Cooperish rantings from quick buck con + artists and most likely the "entity" that Dharma" is "channelling" (If + "Hatonn" exists at all) is most definitely some lower/dark astral + being.

In our statement we pointed out some apparent problems with + all three Phoenix Project reports, as well as some suspicious aspects + of the Project's organization itself. In our conclusion, we issued a + warning not to take the Phoenix Project reports at face value, pending + further investigation. + + On 10 August 1992, Jack Mathias of the Phoenix Project responded in a + long, rambling message posted to a number of bulletin boards and news + groups. Unfortunately, rather than dealing with the substantive issues + raised in our previous postings regarding the project and its + publications, Mr. Mathias's statement consisted mostly of ad-hominem + attacks impugning the motives, integrity, and competence of ParaNet's + officers and investigators. Here is some typical language excerpted + from the Phoenix Project statement: + + " ... you blew it ..." + " ... a snap judgement without examining the evidence ..." + " ... your spontaneous and instant negative reaction ..." + " ... your attitude problem ..." + " ... you abused your position of trust and responsibility ..." + " ... inexcusable ... a new record for prejudice ..." + " ... you've just won the Golden Fleece Award ..." + " ... outstanding ineptness ..." + " ... amateur sleuthing ..." + " ... self-centered ..." + " ... lacking any real expertise ..." + " ... seated upon your starry throne ..." + " ... elected yourself to be the final arbiter of the truth ..." + " ... Judge, Jury, and Executioner ..." + " ... Kangaroo Court Proceeding of your own fashioning ..." + " ... arm-chair expertise ..." + " ... laughable ..." + + Following paragraph after paragraph of this kind of personal invective, + Mr. Mathias then suggests that: + + PP> In our opinion, the public deserves the truth regarding the real + PP> story of UFO's, government involvement and the Alien threat. That + PP> should be our objective. ... Perhaps you'll agree that, that + PP> objective is more productive than entertaining the public via the + PP> BBS links with a side-show of petty squabbles and bickering between + PP> individuals and organizations. + + This is a noble sentiment, and one which we at ParaNet wholeheartedly + agree with. Hopefully in the future the Phoenix Project's + representatives will take some of their own advice and try to keep the + rhetoric down to a more civilized level. + + Having said that, let's look at the actual issues raised by this latest + salvo from the Phoenix Project, and see how they stack up. + + PP> Let us review the facts. You reacted by issuing a public warning to + PP> the members of ParaNet, which was also widely distributed via other + PP> BBS's nation-wide. That warning contained language which implied + PP> the information, and the source, were highly suspect. Thus, single- + PP> handedly, you created a strong impression throughout the UFO + PP> community, that our information was false. Many sincere people, + PP> trusting your qualifications, accepted your warning. + + True. + + PP> You took it upon yourself to make a snap judgement without + PP> examining the evidence. + + False. We did not arrive at our conclusion single-handedly or + instantaneously. Our analysis and the resulting warning were the + products of considerable discussion among ParaNet's researchers and + subscribers. They were also labeled as tentative, pending further + investigation. + + PP> In your message, you mention that you wrote to the Phoenix Project, + PP> after the fact and your preliminary judgement, requesting further + PP> information. You made the same comment in other BBS messages. You + PP> state that we did not respond to your request. You also imply, by + PP> insinuation, that this is a mark against us and a further + PP> indication that we are suspect. ... To date we have not received + PP> your letter of inquiry. Apparently, of all the mail we receive, + PP> your letter is the only one that has gone astray. We can only + PP> conclude that is was either lost in the mail or you didn't mail it. + PP> Did it ever occur to you to mail us a second request, when you did + PP> not receive a response to your first inquiry? + + The letter was followed up with electronic mail to the Project's + spokesman, Jack Mathias. The request for information was repeated + through that channel. The request was refused. + + PP> But, this was not the end of your attitude problem regarding the + PP> Phoenix Project. You did the same thing, again, issuing warnings, + PP> etc., with our release of the K-2 and the Ultimate Secret Reports. + PP> And, again, you had not seen or examined the supporting documents + PP> at the time you issued those warnings to ParaNet and the public. + + We have already stated our reasons for suspecting the "K-2" and + "Ultimate Secret" reports. As with the "Dulce" report, our suspicions + went to the core of the entire concept and execution of both reports; + consequently, it seemed unlikely that the "supporting documents" would + make much difference. Our judgement in this matter was borne out when + we received the "supporting documents" from another source. We were not + impressed. + + PP> Would we be out of line in concluding that your mind was already + PP> made-up? + + Yes, that would be out of line, since our minds were not and in fact + are not yet entirely made up. Our warnings were tentative, and in our + view totally justified. So far we have not been provided with any + evidence to the contrary. If such evidence is provided, we will not + only change our minds but say so publicly. + + PP> Fortunately, for the UFO Movement, other investigators and + PP> researchers don't share your opinion. + + That's not the feedback we've been getting. + + PP> You state in your initial message that "much of the information in + PP> the Dulce Report about Dulce and the Archuleta Mesa contradicts + PP> information already provided to ParaNet by other capable + PP> investigators." What information? Who provided it? How did you + PP> determine its validity? + + Our information consists of the testimony of ParaNet investigators and + others who have been in Dulce and on the Mesa. Their experiences were + very different from what you describe, and it is difficult to reconcile + your claims with the findings of our own people. + + PP> We formally request access to that information. We'd like to + PP> examine it ourselves. Can we obtain copies of "that" information? + + Our investigation continues, and the information will be made public + when it is complete At that time we will be glad to provide you with a + complimentary copy of our report. + + PP> Now, let us get to the main thrust of your message - your + PP> investigation to reveal the personnel of the Phoenix Project. + PP> + PP> [several paragraphs of meaningless abuse deleted] > What, if + PP> anything, is the Phoenix Project guilty of? Is it the fact that we + PP> dared to question and investigate two of the sacred cows of UFO-dom + PP> namely the ones you mentioned, i.e., "underground alien bases, and + PP> the cluster of government projects referred to collectively as + PP> Operation Majestic Twelve?" + + No. ParaNet has long questioned both of those sacred cows. To this + point we have seen no acceptable proof for the existence of any + underground alien base near Dulce, nor have we seen adequate proof for + the existence of "Operation Majestic Twelve". We have publicly stated + as much on many occasions. + + PP> According to our sources within the intelligence community, the + PP> Dulce Scam, perpetrated by the disinformation specialists of MAJI, + PP> better known to you as Majestic Twelve with help from the CIA and + PP> NSA, is considered one of their most brilliant success stories. + + But, of course, these "sources" cannot be named, and all we have to go + on is your word that they even exist. And, unfortunately, you are + making a concerted effort to keep anyone from knowing who *you* are, + either. Anonymous stories relayed by anonymous story tellers. Sorry, + but that's not "evidence". + + PP> We sent in experienced investigators, not amateurs, to check out + PP> the alleged Dulce Base. Those people knew what to look for, how to + PP> look for it, how to get answers, and are not easily mislead. + + We have no evidence for this except your say-so. + + PP> If you do not agree with our findings, get off your posterior, go + PP> to Dulce, and check it out for yourself. + + We have. + + In fact, we invite anybody to do the same thing. We're sure you'll + find exactly what we did ... + + We didn't. + + You imply that you're good at asking questions -- how are you at + answering them? We have a few questions ... Would you mind sharing + with all of us, everyone on the BBS's and the public, what hard + evidence you have that, without question, supports the presence and + validity of the Dulce Base. + + Would you mind sharing what hard evidence you have that we ever said + anything of the kind? We have never said anything in support of the + presence of a secret alien base at Dulce. In point of fact, we consider + it extremely unlikely that any such base exists--at Dulce or anywhere + else. That's one of the reasons we have so much trouble with your "K-2" + report, which purports to document the existence of just such a base in + California. + + Unless you have irrefutable evidence to present, made available for + public scrutiny and evaluation, which invalidates the findings of + the Phoenix Project regarding Dulce, K-2, or the Ultimate Secret, + or our future reports, back off. Either put-up or shut-up. In other + words, get off our back. + + All right, challenge accepted. Let's start with this statement from + your "Ultimate Secret" report: + + According to eye-witness testimony, the CIA agent in charge of this + covert operation, wearing the uniform of an AF Colonel, was William + C. Cooper. ... This witness testifies that this is the same William + C. Cooper, who has been prominent since 1988 in the civilian UFO + movement. + + Is this "William C. Cooper" supposed to be the famous Bill Cooper we + have all come to know so well? Apparently so. Unfortunately, in his own + published documents Bill Cooper gives his full name as "Milton William + Cooper", not "William C. Cooper". Either Cooper doesn't know his own + name, or the Phoenix Project's "eye witness" doesn't know what he's + talking about. + + And while we're on the subject of Bill Cooper, it is instructive to + compare some of the text of the Phoenix Project's "Ultimate Secret" + document with some of Bill Cooper's material on the same subject. + Cooper writes in his "Operation Majority--Final Release": + + BC> [Project Grudge] was financed by CIA confidential + BC> funds (nonappropriated) + BC> and money from the illicit drug trade ... + BC> The purpose of Project Grudge + BC> was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and + BC> intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and + BC> contacts with alien life forms. This orderly file of + BC> collected information has been used to advance the United + BC> States Space Program. + + Now look at the corresponding paragraph of the Phoenix Project's + "Ultimate Secret" report: + + PP> Project Aquarius was funded by CIA confidential + PP> funds (non-appropriated) ... + PP> The purpose of Project Aquarius + PP> was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and + PP> intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and + PP> contacts with alien lifeforms. This orderly file of + PP> collected information has been used to advance the United + PP> States' Space Program and provided the data needed to + PP> develop present stealth technology. + + You don't have to be an intelligence agent to see that these two + passages are virtually identical in both content and phrasing. Since + Cooper's statement is dated 10 January 1989, more than half a year + before the "Ultimate Secret" report's "origination" date of 4 August + 1989, we seem to be left with three possibilities: (1) Cooper was + somehow privy to the Phoenix Project's investigative results even + before they were first put to paper; or, (2) the Phoenix Project + plagiarized Cooper's writings; or (3) the Phoenix Project's own + investigations drew on the same tainted and discredited sources as + Cooper apparently did in compiling his own materials. Whichever one you + pick, it's not a pretty picture. + + But it gets worse: + + PP> The basic information revealing the existence of Operation + PP> Majestic-12, the crashed UFOs, alien beings, and their secret bases + PP> within the United States, was obtained through the Freedom of + PP> Information Act from the files of the CIA, NSA, FBI, State + PP> Department, the U.S. Air Force. + + This is utter nonsense, as any perusal of published FOIA documents on + UFOs would quickly reveal. FOIA requests have forced the government to + disgorge many hundreds of pages of UFO documents over the years, but + they provide little if any support for the existence of Operation + Majestic Twelve, crashed saucers, alien beings, or secret bases. If the + Phoenix Project is relying on already published documents as their + source for this claim (e.g., "The UFO Cover-UP" by Lawrence Fawcett and + Barry Greenwood, or "Above Top Secret" by Timothy Good), then clearly + they have not examined them very carefully. On the other hand, if the + project really does have such explosive FOIA documents in its + possession, let's see them; their publication would do more to + establish the project's credibility than anything else it could + possibly do short of producing a live alien. + + PP> PROJECT GRUDGE: This project was originally established in 1953, by + PP> order of President Eisenhower and is under the control of the CIA, + PP> NSA, and MAJI. Project Grudge went underground and another project, + PP> Project Sign, was established as a cover operation. In 1960, the + PP> Project's name was changed from Project SIGN to Project Bluebook. + + This is demonstrably and totally wrong. Project Sign was established + first, in 1947, and it was under the control of the Air Force, not the + CIA. The name was changed to Project Grudge in 1949, and to Blue Book + in 1952-- not 1960. (For details, see "The Report on Unidentified + Flying Objects" by Edward J. Ruppelt, who headed the project from 1951 + to 1953.) The exact dates slide around a little bit depending on + whether you're talking about when the decision was made, when the order + was signed, or when the order became effective; but the differences are + on the order of months, not decades! How could the Phoenix Project's + experienced intelligence agents make so many ludicrous errors in a + single paragraph? + + In fact, this whole business was such an embarrassing mess that the + Phoenix Project issued a "correction" document to try to straighten it + out. But, ironically, the correction is also wrong--just less obviously + so. + + We could go on, but I think you get the point. The "Ultimate Secret" + report is, at best, a rehash of other people's garbage. At worst, it is + a deliberate effort to confuse and disinform. + + PP> We actively encourage other serious investigators to use the + PP> information we have provided as a basis for conducting their own + PP> inquiry and to carry-on our effort. Can you, Mr. Corbin, or + PP> ParaNet, or Mufon, make the same claim. Or, is it true that the + PP> results of critical investigations are held sacred by the elite + PP> leadership of these organizations, and are not shared with the + PP> member's of their organizations or the public? + + We can't speak for other organizations, but in the case of ParaNet we + have always made our results public as soon as our investigations are + complete. + + PP> In your message, you insinuate that because of our past military + PP> and intelligence backgrounds, our area of expertise so-to-speak, + PP> that the motives of the Phoenix Project are suspect. You further + PP> insinuate that we are possibly government operatives attempting to + PP> send serious researchers off on a variety of wild goose chases. + + Given the prior history of government disinformation in ufology, most + of it purveyed by active or former intelligence agents and their + victims, anyone who (1) purports to have a military intelligence + background, (2) refuses to divulge their identity, and (3) propagates + known disinformation as reliable intelligence (whether deliberately or + not) should expect his motives to be considered suspect until proven + otherwise. It is extremely naive of you to think it would happen any + other way. + + PP> If anyone needed assurance that the truth regarding UFO's will + PP> remain a deep, dark, secret -- they can rest secure in the + PP> knowledge that you, are on the job. There are any number of + PP> government agencies who would welcome you with open arms. Expect + PP> some offers. + + Sorry, none so far. We'll let you know if we get any. + + PP> We are sure that the honest and sincere members of ParaNet and + PP> other UFO investigative organizations (and there are many) must be + PP> seriously considering whether your qualifications, fitness and + PP> investigative ability warrant your continuance in a position of + PP> leadership within what used to be a respected research + PP> organization. + + Exactly the opposite, actually. Most of our people are grateful for the + warning, and are coming to the same conclusions as we did. + + PP> Instead of making an honest attempt to validate or disprove our + PP> findings regarding the subjects mentioned -- missing the point + PP> completely, you chose to become obsessed with determining the + PP> identity of Phoenix Project personnel. For what reason? Do you + PP> intend to judge the validity of the information based on the + PP> credentials of those providing it? Some people would interpret that + PP> as putting the cart before the horse. + + And some people would interpret it as a determination not to fall prey + to the same fate as far too many others in this field, who trusted + strangers too easily and ended up wasting years chasing wild geese--or + worse. + + PP> Explain to us how or why the credentials of our investigators, or + PP> their identity, have any bearing on the validity of the + PP> information. Either the information is true or it isn't. It's as + PP> simple as that, or does that simple fact escape you. + + The credentials of your investigators have a strong bearing on whether + or not it is even worth the trouble to examine your "information". + Anybody can sit down for a few hours at a word processor and cook up + reams of tittilating "information" about almost any subject under the + sun. But unless there is good reason to think there might be something + to it, it's a fool's errand to try to chase it all down. + + It's like this: If ordinary claims come from an anonymous source, they + may be assigned some measure of trust simply because they accord with + everyday experience. If extraordinary claims come from a reputable + source, they may be assigned some measure of trust simply because of + the proven track record of the person making the claims. But when + extraordinary claims originate from an anonymous source, they generally + are given no credence at all, because there is simply no reason to + believe they are true. Life is too short to chase every wild goose that + comes cackling along. There must be *some* reason--either in the + plausibility of the claim or the authority of the claimant--to think + it's worth the trouble. You have provided neither one. + + PP> How can we, or others, be assured of your motives. One does not + PP> need a brilliant mind to envision a scenario where the information + PP> the Phoenix Project has released is discredited because of an act + PP> of character assignation. + + Please explain what "character assignation" is, and then maybe we can + envision the scenario you have in mind. + + PP> Suppose we asked these questions -- would you be prepared to + PP> respond to them?

Due to + PP> the nature of our work, and to protect the identity of our + PP> personnel it would be a foolish endeavor. We never made an attempt + PP> to incorporate our organization in any State. + + The incorporation issue originally came up because we were trying to + track down your trademark registration. We have been unable to find any + such registration, yet at the beginning of each of your reports you + explicitly state that "all publications of the "Phoenix Project" bear + the Project's Logo (a registered trade-mark)." Is that a lie? It + certainly seems that a trademark registration of the project logo would + be almost as much of a threat to "the identity of your personnel" as + incorporation would be. + + PP> You suggest a possible link between our organization and America + PP> West. Sorry about that, but you're dead wrong. It has come to us + PP> from several sources that we're not on their list of favorite + PP> people. We will take this opportunity to categorically deny that we + PP> have any affiliation with America West, their publication the + PP> "Phoenix Liberator," or any other publication they provide. + PP> + PP> Do not expect us to respond to the other coincidences, + PP> suppositions, insinuations or innuendoes contained in your message. + + Why? Perhaps because there are other "insinuations" that cannot be + truthfully denied? As a matter of fact, we now have solid confirmation + of another one of our "insinuations"--i.e., the fact that the Richard + Miller who owns Advent Publishing is indeed the same Richard Miller who + used to channel "Hatonn". That confirmation came from none other than + Mr. Miller himself. So I guess we're not doing too badly. + + In consideration of your explicit denials of any ties to America West, + and in view of the additional information provided privately by Mr. + Miller, we withdraw our previous suggestion of possible connections + between the Phoenix Project and the America West/Phoenix Liberator + operation. As we stated before, those suggestions were tentative + pending further investigation, and further investigation has not + uncovered any additional evidence to support them. Unfortunately, this + is the kind of burden that the Phoenix Project inevitably took on when + it chose to publicly portray itself as a clandestine organization. + + PP> Since you brought up America West and The "Phoenix Liberator," why + PP> not turn your investigative abilities loose on their organization. + PP> Just suppose that Milton Cooper is, quietly, linked to their + PP> organization. That should intrigue you. + + It does, if true. We also find it intriguing that you are, apparently, + using Cooper's material without attributing it to him--thereby lending + it credibility when there is every indication that it is completely + bogus. + + PP> Equally intriguing, is where their funding comes from - not the + PP> obvious subscription income - the covert funding. Or, how about the + PP> busy and numerous, off premise, writers that prepare the volumes of + PP> "Hatonn" material, and their use of high-speed modems to provide + PP> the copy for each weekly issue of the "Phoenix Liberator" and the + PP> dozens of books they produce. In our supposition, we're talking + PP> about a big-time operation. You might also check out their printing + PP> facilities, distribution centers, and world-wide circulation. + PP> Equally fascinating is their sudden rise, in a few short years, to + PP> the top of the New Age Movement. You might even think to ask + PP> yourself, why the New Age Movement? What possible connection is + PP> there with covert government UFO activities, or a New World Order, + PP> with the New Age Movement? The answer to that might be revealed, if + PP> you dig deep enough, and discover high-speed modem links between + PP> their headquarters and certain organizations located at Langley and + PP> Ft. Meade. Yes, if you really dig, you might uncover all kinds of + PP> interesting things about America West. + + Thanks for the tip. + + PP> As to your effort in trying to identify staff personnel of the + PP> Phoenix Project -- good luck. However, we do have to admit that you + PP> may get lucky and hit on a couple of them. However, since there are + PP> many, it is doubtful you will ever get beyond that point. + + Our only interest in the personnel of the Phoenix Project is to + determine whether the Project has a hidden agenda, and whether it is + covertly linked to other organizations whose agendas are known. That + interest was made necessary by the Project's clandestine nature and + consequent lack of public accountability. You brought it on yourselves, + and your continuing hostility and evasiveness suggest that we were not + entirely mistaken in our suspicions. + + Our investigation continues.

MIDDLER [Paul]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + So far, the Phoenix Project has released three reports: + + * The Dulce Report (Summary file: DULCEDOC.ZIP) + An extensive study of an area that was claimed to have an + underground U.S./Alien base. + + * The Ultimate Secret (Summary file: ULTSEC.TXT) + The Majority Agency for Joint Intelligence (MAJI) The Secret + War Against The Aliens Star Wars (SDI) Exposed + + * K-2 -- A Secret California Alien Base (Summary file: K2RPT.TXT) + Their discovery of an underground Alien base at Pilot Peak, + Plumas County, California. + + More are expected to be released in mid-to-late August. + + The following is a message I discovered on Fido:UFO from Jack + Mathias, Phoenix Project Spokesperson, addressed to All: + + As stated in the beginning of each of our reports, [excluding + ULTSEC.TXT] the Phoenix Project is a private, civilian, research + organization without any official affiliation to any branch of the + United States government. It came into existence by chance in 1952 when + a group of "buddies" met and discussed their ideas. Even back in the + early days of the UFO flap it was becoming obvious that the truth was + not being released. Because of this the Phoenix Project started. As did + the other organizations. However, unlike these others, we remained in + the shadows, never releasing any information until it was felt the time + had arrived. That time has come. + + The Phoenix Project has never and does not seek publicity. And, for + obvious reasons. We also value what every other person does; security + and safety. It is because of this that there is not much more that we + can say regarding our organization. + + One of our investigators became involved in the UFO cover-up during + the Mantell incident of 1948 and later became a special investigator + with Project Blue Book until 1952. Two investigators were + members of the Air Force and three were Navy. Each of these people, + was, at one time or another, either attached to or connected with the + intelligence edifice. However, remaining in the shadows mandates + that the organizations, divisions, etc., not be disclosed. It + is through these activities and/or contacts made during the time of + military involvement that the team has been able to obtain much of our + information. These contacts are loyal and trusted personal friends who + we have known for more than twenty years and since every bit of + information supplied by these people has checked out, we firmly + believe that we have not been suppliedany disinformation. + + Because of our past intelligence backgrounds and to protect this on + going relationship with these contacts, revealing our true identity + could jeopardize the personal safety of ourselves, our + families and theirs as well. We have all witnessed examples of + "termination with extreme prejudice," a phrase whose meaning is well + known within the intelligence community. + + .............. + + Jack Mathias believes people have a reason to doubt the Phoenix + Project findings, since their identities will remain secret. He did + think Paranet jumped to conclusions about the Dulce and K-2 reports. + Jack recommends getting the reports for reference and go check them + out. + + I cannot think of a good reason why the Phoenix Project would be a + hoax. The reports cost between $10.00 and $12.50, so they are not + making much money from this. + + If there are some questions about the Phoenix Project and I don't + have the answer, I could forward them to Jack Mathias to see what he + says. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + M. MASTALER [Mike]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Paul.... thanks for starting this topic. I just got information of + their reports, and as you said , they are quite reasonable. Here are + some more reports they say will be ready Aug 30, 1992: + + K-2 supplemental report. + The NASA presence at Quincy + The Area 51 report + The Joint US/Alien research base # 920815 $10 + + (opps,that K-2 report # is 920820 $10 ) + + The"icecaves" report + The Los Alamos US/Alien base # 920830 $12.50 + + Advent Publishing Company + PO box 3748 + Carson City NV. 89702 + Send them a S.A.S.E. to get a complete list of their reports. + + Mike + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + E. STEWART8: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + I am somewhat puzzled by these folks that call themselves the Phoenix + Project. They say they are tight personal friends of each other and + first organized themselves in 1952 after having shared careers together + in military intelligence. + + Well, that means they have known each other for at least forty years + and not twenty. Also, that should put them around seventy to eighty + years old. Somehow, I am having a hard time visualing these folks + scurrying around the Plumas National Forest gathering evidence + incognito. It is tough enough for a young hiker to trek through that + country, much less a setpuagenarian. + + But, I guess we will never know since they feel their true identities + must remain secret. + + Ed + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Name Not Present in Header + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + A joint US/Alien reserach base?!

From looking at the files, one can see that they + must of had help with the magnetic survey, since I doubt that military + intelligence personnel are familiar with using such equipment. As far + as age goes, they may have had help from family and friends. I had + received the same type of listing as Mike did, but I found out that + people who received their lists just a week ago had a slightly + different list. The differences included a July 30th date (instead of + Aug 30th) and another report called K-3 -- A Secret Alien Base used for + Controlled Humans. For some reason, they had to delay the reports by + one month. I'm still not sure if they are for real, but I don't + understand why anyone would go through such trouble to perpetrate a + hoax. I heard that their logo is not a registered trademark, as the + files suggest, but the source of the info is exceedingly unreliable. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + P. MIDDLER [Paul]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Well, Jack Mathias hasn't been on FidoNet for a couple of days which + suggests he is either on a field trip or he is trying to lay low for + awhile. Maybe his `group' doesn't like him to leak information, or + someone is getting close to figuring out that it's one big hoax. + + The heliport near Quincy belongs to the forest service and there is a + NASA facility along the restricted road that leads to the heliport. At + night, the NASA people shine a green beam into the sky. Their + experiments are either related to earthquake monitoring or atmospheric + monitoring.

COX11 [GARY]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Paul + + You've tricked me again - first time I've been online "live" in + sometime - surprised to see this topic. Someone just dumped me a copy + of the k-2 report today - I haven't had time to read it yet. My off the + cuff comment is that no one - I mean that - could find a superbly + hidden underground base of unknown size with only a general idea of the + location. What would be found - is a series of anolamous readings and + findings and it would cost a small fortune to determine the true source + of these readings. And this includes a fullscale survey by leading + professionals using the very best equipment that exists. + + So it would be hard to prove or disprove anything of this nature + without a lot more cash that the total sum of ufo enthusiasts could + raise. I will get back here after I read k-2... + + I should would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to subscribe + to this good stuff off of internet? The copy I have originated out of + Pro-Net Australia Board... + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + P. MIDDLER [Paul]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Gary, + + The Phoenix Project claims to have access to all the expensive + equipment necessary to do the survey. Since Phoenix is a secretive + organization, one cannot be sure if they have or don't have access to + specialized equipment. + + Someone on FidoNet:UFO is planning to get some of his prospecting + buddies together (one works just 10 miles from K-2) and they will do a + magnetometer survey to check the Phoenix Project's findings. + + Why do you have to get your material from Australia? I got the + material from FidoNet:UFO and Compuserve. Jack Mathias, the Phoenix + Project Spokesman, places the reports on both of these nets. From there + it eventually ends up in Australia. I'm not familiar with Internet, but + if you get on a BBS that has it, they probably have hefty useage + charges. There's a BBS called NetCom and they have + UseNet's:alt.alien.visitor . I haven't called them, but the phone no. + is 408-241-9760 and type "Guest". BUT you'll probably get big long + distance bills and they probably charge for access to their BBS.

COX11 [Gary]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Paul et al + + I've spent some going over the K2 report here and have some general + observations to make. + + An uncanny absence of sounds in a wilderness area is hardly unusual - + it would be normal for the local fauna to shut down due to the + intrusion of humans into their turf. + + The feeling of being watched is hardly unusual - it occurrs frequently + with city slicker types who feel paranoid without throbbing masses of + humanity surrounding them. Further in sensitive individuals with a + great deal of experience in this phenomena - it can be a very reliable + guage. + + The reaction of the local rangers was typical in all respects. + + It's not unusual for any area to be non-radar observed - large areas of + the US are void of radar coverage. + + The initial tale of the discovery of the K2 site via triangulation of + transmitted signals is a little flakey - someone just happens to hear + an unusual transmission and keeps monitoring it - with SW there are + many such transmissions. + + The closed mouthed loggers - this is common in an industry under attack + by greens, etc. Samething for the road improvements coinciding with new + logging in the area. + + A magnetometer is old technology at best - the portable kind aren't as + fine tuned and data productive as the report stated. A computer + generated frequency density map of the survey - which I didn't get a + copy of - would be of interest. My interest would be seeing if the + survey produced any unnatural geometry. + + Since a mag was used - the formation must be fairly shallow - if so a + portable core drill could be used to sample the formation. If I was + directing the mag team - I would ask for a comparative survey in an + adjacent area to determine if either was anomalous to the area. A third + survey would be fairly conclusive. + + Further a professional look at the area would include a fresh aerial + survey - with aerial stereo pix used to generate an AutoCad map of the + site. The next step would be a real look underground with GPR ground + penetrating radar and using an AutoLISP/AutoCad program to produce a 3- + d map. After looking at the results I could decide whether it would be + worth sinking a drill bit in for a log or coring, etc. + + Interestingly enough - Phoenix's initial contact was Dr. Peter Sturrock + at SRI...GPR was developed by Dr.Lambert Dolphin at SRI. If NASA truly + shows an interest in K2 - it would be a serious give away if they were + doing aerial photography and toting around some GPR equipment. Further + it might serve someones purpose to fabricate this data and activity at + K2 and wait and see who shows up.

Jack Mathias + just left me a post that the address for the company puts inside the + base boundaries for Kirkland. So much for that contact, but purhaps he + still might be contacted just for drill. + + As I told Jack, even though I'm not from the state (Missouri I think) + I am very much of a "show me" person, and as such, I am still not 100% + convinced about Dulce. He respects that, which to me is a good sign. + + I have receved the K2 report and it is most interesting. There are + several pages of X, Y coordinate data from the magnetometer, pictures + of the site and specific locations of the cavern outlets, a blown up + version of the topo map of the location (Bluenose Mountain Quadrangle- + 7.5 minute series), a map showing the radar zone coverage for that area + (including the dead spots). These guys are definitely no into this for + the profit. If I were making this packet available, the cost of $12.50 + would just about cover my expenses. The audio tape of the original + transmissions that keyed these guys to that location are indeed + strange. They are heavily modulated and overlayed with what sound like + synthesizer signatures of a random sort. I strongly suspect that once + these are lifted, the data tracks can be located. I can see why the + guys at Stanford and at Ames didn't want anything to do with the tapes. + anyone with sound engineering background should have a crack at this + tape. I am looking into that. + + I have a group that is going to be doing a long term observation of + the site and I am looking for qualified volunteers. This site + observation will be from August 5 through the end of the month if + possible. It may be shorter due to lack of manpower. This is strictly a + scientific observation expedition and as such there will be absolutely + no hostile intents. From what the report has stated (they did have a + CE4 incident) the greys are just as curious about us as we are about + them and respect those with non-hostile intents. Anyone who is + interested should be over 18 years of age and be prepared for some + possible heavy duty mental activity (as in grilling by the locals and + the government people up there- and according to what I've heard there + may be lots of them). Those interested should leave e-mail for either + myseld or Dan Brown, my co-moderator (of the Sacramento UFO SIG). I am + looking into the possiblity of some anthro graduate students coming + with us. Everyone will be briefed before leaving. + + As I am sure that you are aware, I suspect that this transmission is + monitored and I have no discomfort with the idea that they probably + know that we are coming (the government).

MIDDLER [Paul]: + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Gary, + + I haven't heard anything further about ParaNet's complaint about the + Dulce report. The report is about 18 pages long, compared to K-2's 60 + pages, so it doesn't have much detail in it. The airborn magnetometer + map looks like a shaded contour map. They don't give any examples of + data like they do in the K-2 report. + + Now, going back to your message on K-2: + + I don't know why the report included useless information such as the + lack of rodents, the feeling of being watched, and "boiling" clouds. + The content of the report suggested they were paranoid. + + > unusual transmission and keeps monitoring it - with SW there are many + > such transmissions. + + Yes, but these particular transmissions are strange. The + transmissions sound like bizarre music. There is a voice on them + repeating words that I just can't make out. It sounds like "see the + bears"? The transmissions carry no data.

There is no + mention of what type they used in the report. Modern magnetometers + shouldn't have any problem detecting an alien base, since geologists + use it to discover mineral deposits. I'm not familiar with the + magnetometer's operation, but modern ones use some sort of nuclear + resonance. + + >My interest would be seeing if the survey produced any unnatural + >geometry. + + They made the conclusion that these tunnels and compartments were + unnatural because they were aligned with magnetic north. They were + apparently rectangular. These compartments were not connected in the + field data, so they think there were adjoining tunnels that are + magnetically disguised by the compartments near the surface. + + There were two large entrances that had dead-ends. One was 40 feet + wide at the entrance and narrowed down to 15 feet; the total length was + 270 feet into the mountain. The section of the mountain (hill) that was + surveyed included magnetometer readings above the accessable tunnels. I + don't know why these entrances had dead-ends. Greys are suppose to have + the power to pass through walls, so they could pass through the dead- + end, but why is there an entrance tunnel at the surface? Inside the + mountain, the magnetometer readings showed four chambers. One was 20 + feet by 75 feet with 10 feet wide tunnels extending 50+ feet to the + north and to the south. This chamber was made of fused rock because the + magnetometer readings above it had dropped. There were two tunnels that + were 160+ and 190 feet long and 10 to 20 feet wide. The readings + increased above them, so they apparently were metallic. On one side of + the surveyed quadrant was a large chamber that extended beyond the 400 + foot quadrant and it was metallic. The actual size of the chamber was + not determined. The chambers could be natural deposits, but the + magnetic north-south orientation seems odd. + + >Since a mag was used - the formation must be fairly shallow + + They made no mention of depth, but I assume they could use a portable + core drill.

The level of animal sounds was consistent with what I have + heard in other forested areas. + + Animal Life: The K2 report makes much of the fact that there was an + absence of animal life in the area (this additionally supported by the + claim of lack of animal sounds). In particular the report comments on + the apparent absence of squirrels, chipmunks, rodents, owls and birds + flying over the area. + + On my first night at the Pilot Peak area I spent the night at a spot + over-looking the location of the "landing zones." I had an unobstructed + view of the area. I was there while the Moon was still below the + eastern horizon and I used a high-powered spotlight to illuminate the + area. I saw no less than two (possibly three) deer - one of which was + very close by, if not on, one of the "landing zones." Throughout the + night, owls could be heard hooting. During the day birds could be seen + flitting about the meadow that contained the "landing zones" and both + squirrels and chipmunks were easily seen. At the very top of Pilot Peak + there is a lookout station which I explored. There I found two + exhausted boxes of D-Con rodent killer and rodent droppings in the + first and second floors of the station - clearly evidence of rodents. + Another variety of rodent - bats - were seen in no small numbers around + the Pilot Peak area. + + I will comment on the K2 report itself concerning their claim of + absence of animal life and animal sounds. I found it a curious + contradiction that one of their observers (and I do not recall how they + identified him/her, it was perhaps Contact #2, but it was the one who + forgot their camera and had to come back the next day to make + photographs) indicated that there was a sighting of a UFO and once it + came into view all the animal noises ceased. I have to ask - If there + was a curious and noteworthy lack of animal sounds how could they + cease? + + Landing Zones: Having seen the purported "landing zones" personally, + and in some cases having walked over them, I have to say there seems to + be a more prosaic explanation. There was an abundance of deer tracks + throughout the area. It is not unreasonable to assume these are places + where deer have rested. I found it odd that in the midst of the + flattened grass there was, in some instances, a variety of tall weed + that was still standing, unbent, in the area of flattened grass. In + addition, the "landing zones" exhibited none of the swirling patterns + associated with UFO "nests" or the more recent crop circles. Very low + strangeness index and certainly subject to more "Earthly" explanation + than landed craft. I also found other, smaller, areas of flattened + grass which looked exactly like the purported "landing zones" but which + could clearly be discounted as such. + + There are two other factors which weigh heavily against these areas + being "landing zones" which I will address next. + + Camping Area: Far from being the desolate area one might imagine from + reading the K2 report there is a camping area immediately adjacent to + the "landing zones." To the southwest, and just behind a moderately + dense stand of trees, this camping area did not remain unoccupied + during the time of my visit. On the first night there were three + carloads of people camping and on the second night there was one family + there. The area of the "landing zones" is easily seen from this camping + area and access to the "landing zones" from the camping area is + immediate. It is not the sort of area one would choose if one wanted + any sort of privacy. In addition, the area of the "landing zones" is + clearly seen from the road which passes nearby and the view from the + road is unobstructed, save for two small trees, for over a quarter mile + of travel. + + The Road: The report mentions a road which passes the K2 site. This is + not the unused and long-forgotten road one would envision from reading + the K2 report. Quite the contrary. During the day logging trucks, pick- + up trucks, residents of the La Porte & Quincy areas and campers travel + this road. While it will never resemble rush hour, I was somewhat + surprised at the number of vehicles traveling that road as I thought we + were well off the beaten track. + + At night the traffic is much less active. The first night there was no + traffic from 9 PM until 4:15 AM the next morning. The second night + there was traffic on and off throughout the night. Again, the meadow + with the "landing zones" is clearly and unmistakably visible from the + road. + + Forest Service: The K2 report alludes to the Forest Service personnel + being mind-controlled minions of the Greys and says they were + questioned about their reasons for being there. The report paints a + picture of the Forest Service watching their every move and questioning + their every action. I found quite the opposite to be the case. Not once + did the Forest Service exhibit the slightest interest in what I was + doing - even when I passed a Forest Service truck on the mine road (a + dirt road that leads right to the base of the summit of Pilot Peak). + The only reaction I received from the Forest Service was a smile and a + wave as they drove past in their trucks. + + --- + + My observations cover a brief period of time - from the evening of + Wednesday, August 19 to the morning of Friday, August 21. My comments + and observations can be verified and confirmed by Mr. Ed Stuart who + accompanied me to Pilot Peak. + + As Ed has asked, "If the facts we CAN verify are false then are the + facts we CAN'T verify false?" To which I must reply, not necessarily, + but they are certainly called into question. + + Other lines of inquiry come to mind. IS the corrdor from the west to + Pilot Peak actually RADAR blind as put forth by the Phoenix Project K2 + report? I'm sure any ATC person from the area can answer that easily + enough. + + I also think a discussion with Forest Service personnel is in order. + Are they aware that some of their members are being presented as + unwitting allies of the Greys? Did they have occasion to question the + activities of a group of people investigating the Pilot Peak area? Has + there ever been a female member of their team, and if so, who was she? + And if so, what does she think of the seduction for information + scenario as described by the K2 report? + + I think I'm ready to go ask some questions. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

We have been meeting officially for one year and numerous + members of this group have had significant encounters. Like most of + you, we have a keen interesting in the Who, What and especially the Why + on this subject. + + The SIG has made four trips up to K2 during the last 3 weeks, and at + this point, to be frank, we have come up empty handed. This is not + saying that there is nothing up there, but we are not seeing evidence + of anything at this time. Due to the fact that there have been a flurry + of sightings occurring approximately 75 miles to the south of K2 (Pilot + Peak), both ourselves and apparently several MUFON members are of the + opinion that the Greys may have moved their operations to the south. + + We have made the following observations. + + 1. The area, although remote, is somewhat heavily traveled by the + locals. This, we feel, is the reason for the very smooth surface + of the road. Road traffic is light, if not nonexistent, at night + (usually between about 9:00PM and around 4:00AM when the local + loggers start coming through from Quincy to go to work at the + logging sites). There seems to be extensive logging going on + between the mountain and the junction of the Quincy- LaPorte Road + and the road that goes up to Little Grass Valley Lake. It is our + opinion that the reason that the road is paved from the base of + the mountain, up and through the valley below the peak itself and + to the top of the rise that over looks the Feather River canyon, + is the possibility of eliminating washouts, especially along the + face of the hill just below the valley entrance. + + 2. The valley itself, which contains the Onion Valley creek, is not, + in my opinion, anything unusual for the Sierras. The place is + teeming with life, including bear, deer, owls, squirrels, birds, + frogs and in the evening, loads of bats (which swarm down from the + mountain). Two of the people who went up to the mountain (John + Pickens and Ed Stewart) went up to the lookout and they said that + there was a lot of evidence of extensive rat population up there. + I have personally walked over approximately 75% of that valley + floor and about 25% of the slope to the south (which is just below + the face of the mountain. I have found very little evidence of + anything out of the ordinary, especially cave or cavern openings. + In fact, I found little if any indication that anyone had been + walking up there within recent weeks. + + The pond is made from a small man-made dam, which appears to be at + least 20 years old. I can see the distinct possibility that the + forest service made it to create a water source in case of fires. + I did see the area that the report mentions regarding the washed + out part of the dam. The pond is, according to a man that one of + our party interviewed, fish-less. It does, however, have several + resident ducks, which make a considerable amount of noise during + the night. The bats feed extensively on the insects that populate + the pond and they are somewhat aggressive. You can toss a small + stone up in the air and the bats will go after it. John Pickens + showed us that little trick. + + 3. We were only approached once by a local sheriff, who simply wanted + to know what we were doing sitting by the side of the road late at + night. This was just after he had left the campground which held a + large group of local indians, who were camping there. These + indians were very much aware of our presence and no doubt were + concerned about us. Since the mountains of California are known to + have drug farmers, it is prudent to maintain one's distance. + Mountain folks are a quiet bunch and usually have little to say to + "flat landers." We only saw US Forest Service Ranters driving + their trucks on the road and we were never approached about why we + were in the area. + + 4. Pilot Peak (K2) is indeed in a fairly remote area, which given the + patterns of life of the area, could be an ideal spot for some + surreptitious activity. Logistical it is in a very good location, + considering the local terrain, it's relationship to areas in + Northern California and Nevada and it's relative ease of access. + If I were going to build a secret base in Northern California, + this area would be ideal. The roads leading to the site from the + south are paved up to within 10 miles of the mountain and the + loggers and the locals, use it extensively from 4:00AM until about + 9:00PM. As I have mentioned above from 9:00PM until 4:00AM, the + road is deserted and the place is very quiet. + + The area to the west of the mouth of the U-shaped valley just + below the peak goes into a long narrow canyon, which the Phoenix + group describes in their report. I can see that this could be + utilized to gain access below radar. + + 5. The marshes behind and in front of the pond have tall rice-like + grass and there are areas that appear to have been flattened, but + not in the classic crop-circle sense. The pattern of the flattened + grass is uni-directional and it does appear to have been folded + over and braided, but there is no defined shape to the areas + themselves. There are approximately 10 of these sites either below + the dam or behind it and they all have signs of foot traffic going + into them. The grass in these areas show signs of browning and do + not show any of the signs of burning (either shaded or tip-burning + as mentioned in the crop circle evidence). I walked the entire + area of both marshes and saw no signs of circular burn marks. + + 6. Regarding the comments that the Phoenix Group has made about the + feelings that their team has regarding being watched, there were + two separate incidents that occurred while we were up there that + gives me pause to reflect. + + The first of these events occurred when my son and I originally + went to the mountain three weeks ago. At the time, I didn't see + the significance of it, but I do now. It was dusk and my son and I + had set up my tripod and camera on the dam looking towards the + peak. It was somewhat of a moonlight night and the bats had just + come out. It was approximately 9:30PM on Saturday, the 8th of + August. Suddenly I heard what appeared to be the sounds of bear + cubs. I immediately recognized the sounds, having spend years in + the woods. Instantly, I had the uneasy feeling that mother bear + might be close and I told my son to take the tripod and we should + quietly go back to the car. Since we hadn't intended to stay the + night, we decided to leave the area. The location of these noises + were approximately 150 feet up the side of the mountain to the + South-South West of the southern tip of the dam. + + On the evening of Wednesday, the 12th I went up to the mountain by + myself and spent the night parked by the side of the main road + which is slightly above the valley floor and has an excellent view + of the entire valley. The only significant noise that I heard that + night was from a very loud owl, who hooted from the very same area + that the bear noises emminate from. + + On Saturday, the 15th, myself and Ed Stewart spent the afternoon + and early evening up at K2. I walked up the side of the hill to + the south, southeast of the pond with Ed and we set up some + listening equipment (sensitive mikes, including one contact mike, + which I set up on some solid granite). Suddenly, Ed said, "What + was that???", motioning over into the same area of the hillside + that I have previously mentioned with the owl and bear sounds. It + gave me a very short term feeling of uneasiness, but it pasted. At + that point I was under the impression that we were sitting over + the area that was supposed to have the base entrance. Later, I + found out that I was wrong. + + Last night, on the evening of August 22nd, I spoke to Jack Mathias + on the phone. I essentially told him what I have transcribed here + with the exception of the strange noises and their locations. I + told him that we had been looking for the base entrances and were + having trouble finding them. It was then that he told me that the + main one was to the south- southwest of the southern tip of the + dam, approximately 150-165 feet up the side of the hill and that + apparently I had been looking at the wrong place all along. + Whether the locations of the noises that myself, Ed Stewart and my + son Kris have heard are in fact located nearer to the supposed + entrance is still an open question. If so, the there is the + possibility that someone may have been trying to warn us away, by + playing mind games with us. I didn't think of it at the time, but + this reminds me of the types of things that Whitley Streiber + experienced. HUMMMM!!???? + + In conclusion, we still have some unanswered questions regarding the + K2 site. We do question some of the allegations of the Phoenix Group, + but haven't closed the book yet. There is still the possibility that + there is something going on up there, but we feel that the burden of + proof is on the Phoenix Group. The data that they have listed in their + report is outlined with some inconsistencies. The grid pattern for + their magnetometer readings is devoid of X,Y co-ordinate markers + corresponding to their readings. The maps of the area that they have + listed in the report doesn't have marked on it the origin (0,0) point + for the X,Y grid. For a scientific report, this is a very sizeable data + error. + + We also have some problem with their conclusions regarding the road + and it's usage, the quizzical nature of the rangers, the lack of life + around the area and in particular the LZ sites that they mention. I can + see that the place would make an excellent site for a secret base, but + it's existence is still questionable. We have, as I have mentioned, not + closed the book on this case, and will keep everyone posted. + + I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to the very + helpful efforts and support from Ed Stewart, John Pickens and my son + Kristopher Jones. I have found that when it comes down to making a + commitment to field research, there are often few, if any volunteers. I + greatly appreciate those who participated.

It was + approximately 30-40 feet in diameter, moving slowly from south to north + at 500 feet above the tree-tops. + + [text deleted for brevity] + + Within 10 minutes, after the object left the area, eight Air Force + jet fighters (F-4s, judging from their sound and appearance) and moving + very fast, went overhead traveling in the same direction the object had + taken -- towards the North. Four minutes later, the fighters returned, + heading south. I presumed the object had been spotted by their radar. + Their quick return would indicate they lost radar contact with the + object. + + * * * + + [text deleted for brevity] + + Memo + August 12, 1989 + From Staff # 1 + To: Staff # 2 + + Our contacts in the Air Force verify that on the night of August 10, + 1989, at the time indicated in Report # 1 of that date, that eight F- + 4's, scrambled from Beale AFB, CA. They had a brief radar-lock, on a + "bogie" in the area described. However, they lost the target, due to + ground clutter when it suddenly descended into the mountainous terrain. + They returned to the base when a further sweep of the area proved + fruitless. + + You're right, the AF had a blip on their radar, but lost it when the + ship dropped into that 20-mile approach corridor between the valleys + and the radar dead zone. + + * * * + + My Investigation. + + I contacted the Public Affairs office at Beale AFB. (916-634-8890) + After identifying myself, and the information I needed, they transfered + me to another office. The person who answered the phone identified both + himself, and the office so swiftly, I couldn't make out who I was + talking to. (altho the point is moot..) + + The following is a -rough- transcript of the conversation, although it + is not verbatim. (I did not record the conversation.) The officer I was + speaking to was quite candid, and informal. The conversation itself was + spontaneous, so I do not believe that I was being fed a "canned" story. + Besides, as you'll see in a moment, the officer has absoloutly no + reason to lie about this. I read the above memo to the officer, and + then asked the following questions. + + Q: Has Beale AFB operated F-4 Phantoms in an interceptor role at any + time, and specificly during August of 1989? + + A: No. Beale AFB is a SAC [Strategic Air Command] base, and has never + operated tactical aircraft in any capacity. We have B-52s, KC-130 + air refuelers, and until recently, the SR-71. We're a bomber base, + not a fighter base. There was an attempt made in an 89 air show to + get 2 RF-4Cs to come here, but unfortunatly, they couldn't make it. + + [Note: In conversation, he told me the RF-4s were part of the High + Roller squadron based here in Reno...Joe.] + + Q: Were F-4s ever used in an interceptor role as late as 1989? + + A: Not to my knowledge, no. The F-4s have been relegated to ECM, "Wild + Weasel" roles, and low level recce [Recon] roles for quite some time + now. These types of F-4s are completely unarmed, therefor useless as + fighters. If an intercept mission was called out for northern CA, + the response would come from only one of 2 AFB's. Eilson or + Almendorf AFB in Alaska, although I'm not sure which one, and the + other AFB would be March AFB. Both bases have a wing of F-15 + interceptors that the AF have assigned to West Coast defense. The US + Navy also has NAS [Naval Air Stations] assigned to coastal defense, + but I'm not sure which bases those are. At any rate, the only Naval + outfits to use the F-4 are the Marines, and they also use it as + "Wild Weasel" and low level recce. + + Q: Has it ever been AF SOP to use eight aircraft in an intercept? + + A: For -one- radar bogie? [he laughed at this point] That would insult + most of the fighter pilots I've ever known. [another laugh] No, most + AFB's only have 2 aircraft capable of being "scrambled" on a moments + notice. Even if an AFB had more aircraft available for a scramble, + they would still only send 2 aircraft. Operating an interceptor is + extremly expensive, somwhere in the region of $4,000 per flight + hour. This is fuel, oil, hydraulics, and air and ground crew + salaries. The AF wouldn't spend $32,000 for something they know from + experience would only take $8,000. Besides, we're still talking F-4s + here right? [Yes] Well, for an intercept conducted by the AF, you're + looking at the F-15, or the F-16. Even if we had F-4s that were + armed, they wouldn't use them. They're just not fast enough anymore. + + * * * + + There was more to this conversation, but we got to talking about the + High Rollers and the Reno Air races.. the above is the only portion + that pertains to this report... + + Summary: + + 1. Beale AFB is a SAC base, and as such, does not operate tactical + aircraft, (ie fighters) in any capacity, and never has. Their + primary aircraft types are bombers, hi-alt recon, and refuelers. + + 2. The AF would never send eight ships to intercept a radar bogie. IMHO + they wouldn't need to. + + 3. There are no F-4 Phantoms being used on the West Coast in an + interceptor role. They are used in Recon, and ECM roles only, and as + such, are totally unarmed. If the AF were to scramble an intercept, + they would use F-16s or F-15s. + + + Possible Explanations: + + 1. The AF is lieing. + + Not likely. They've no reason to hide the fact that tactical + aircraft do not operate from their base, nor have they any reason to + lie about not using F-4s as interceptors. + + 2. The Phoenix Project member mis-identified the aircraft. + + Unfortunatly, the Phoenix Project cannot use this as a defense, + since they state that they "verified" that 8 F-4s were scrambled to + intercept the radar "bogie." + + 3. The Phoenix Project deliberatly falsified this portion of their + report. + + Unfortunatly, this is the only explanation. + + Conclusion: + + It is my opinion that at least this portion of the Phoenix Project's K- + 2 report is a deliberate falsehood. It can neither be a typographical + error, nor an error in judgement, (since they "verified" the info using + AF sources.) This also throws considerable doubt on the validity of the + "object" sighting, and on the K-2 report as a whole. However, I will + let others, more knowledgable and capable than I, determine the + validity of the remaining K-2 claims. + + Joe. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

I would, however, like to point out one more + discrepancy in their story. In Report #4, the following information is + given regarding a UFO sighting: + + By Staff #2 + Date: August 10, 1989 + Time: 2212 PDT + + ..."the moon was still below the horizon." + + Now here is one place where a simple fact is stated and can be checked. + I did. Using four separate planetarium and moon position calculation + programs, I determined that the moon on that night at that time was as + follows: + + RA : 16 hr 8 min + DEC : -26.17 degrees (this means in the constellation of Scorpio) + Phase: 9.5 days passed new moon (waxing gibbous) + + What this means is that the moon would be between first quarter and + full, and would have risen before sunset and been in the sky during the + evening hours before midnight. The report states that the sky was clear + with stars visible. + + The moon was low in the western horizon, but certainly not "...still + below the horizon." + + What is interesting is that no one has (to my knowledge) checked this + simple statement. Since the moon had certainly already risen and should + have been visible in the sky, one might assume that the statement it + hat not yet risen (was "still below the horizon") was put in to help + eliminate the moon as a possible explanation for the UFO sighting. Did + the author, therefore, add this statement so no one could accuse him of + mistaking the moon for a UFO? This is what you would expect of someone + who was making up a story, not the on-site notes of an actual observer. + Apparently the bit about the moon not yet having risen was added + without checking the moon's actual position on that night. + + In anticipation of a counter-argument that since the moon was close to + its setting time and, in a moutainous area, might possibly have already + gone behind a mountain and therefore not be visible to the observer, I + can only point out that in that case the observer, who had been on + watch for a while at least, would have seen the moon earlier and known + that it had just set. He would, therefore, not describe it as "the moon + was still below the horizon." That certainly implies that the moon had + not yet risen, when, in fact, it had been in the sky all evening. + + My feeling is that 99.9999 percent of all UFO reports and claims are + fakes, mistakes, hoaxes, mis-identifications, and other human errors. + But let us continue our search for a little signal in all that noise + (to steal a phrase from engineering). + + Yours, + Sean + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

You don't mean to tell me that trained scientific- military + people went to observe a supposed alien base and FORGOT THEIR + CAMERAS? That makes about as much sense as the guy who went to the + LZ and saw landing marks, but conveniently forgot his camera. + + 2. They also state that over the course of the "last month" the aliens + have been making regular supply runs at 2 week intervals. That + doesn't jive with the rest of the report. That would have covered + most of the month of August, in which we already know that at least + one sighting was made. Why no mention of the others? Why was Staff + # 2 so excited about his sighting on the tenth if this was to be + expected? How can they state with such confidence that the supply + runs are regular?

I met with the Sacramento UFO + Group and together with Steve Jones and three days later with John + Pickens from Fresno, I ventured to investigate.

We found nothing. + + In September, Steve Jones, Mike Mace and myself met with Jack + Mathias, the spokesman and Richard Miller, a friend of the Phoenix + Group, We met for four hours at the "Ormsby" in Carson City, Nevada. We + chatted, traded expectations, and discussed our lack of findings over + the K-2 Phoenix Report. We were aware of the Paranet warning over the + Phoenix Group and I was particularly concerned over the question. Why + Now? Why wait three years to release the reports? We received two + different answers. Jack Mathias said he had proded the group to release + the information and Richard Miller said he thought the Group was + concerned over some possible events that might be occurring "soon". He + said he thought it had something to do with a similar incident + involving asteroid 1989FC. As an avid amateur astronomer since my early + youth, my curiosity was peaked. He would not elaborate and said he + would need permission from the Phoenix Group to release the + information. If he received the Okay, he would have Jack get us a copy + of their findings. A couple of days later the material was downloaded + to me. + + We read it, checked it out, sought assistance from various sources. + Bottom line, it was less verifiable than the original material. At the + time, I felt It would have been a dis-service to the UFO community to + release it. I felt it was that bad and I still do. + + Since then, through the efforts of many on this echo including + members of the Sacramento UFO Group that physically visited the site, + John Pickens report, Joseph Harris work, and Michael Corbin's initial + warning much doubt was placed on the K-2 Report. When Don Kirschner's + findings that the K-2 tape was bogus became public, Paranet declared + the report a hoax. + + I decided to release this part of the investigation that deals with + the question why release the reports now?

This is out + of character for anyone with a background in intelligence. So right off + the bat we know that "Staff 1" in all probability is not an + intelligence operative or ever was. + + The "From: Staff 1 Phoenix Project:" header accomplishes the following: + + 1. Polarization around a singular, mysterious and/or + inaccessible leadership. Only select individuals may be + granted access to this person known only as "Staff 1". + + 2. But since the mysterious "Staff 1" has taken the reader into + his confidence by making him privy to "Privileged" + documentation and establishing the fact that the reader can + be trusted, why then is this mysterious leader referring to + himself as "Staff 1"? + + 3. It is a psychological ego boost to have documentation + addressed by the top authoritive figure of the group. Keep + this in mind as we go through the documentation. + + The "Note:" paragraph accomplishes the following: + + 1. "Thank you for meeting with our representatives." + + a. This reaffirms the inaccessibility of "Staff 1". + + b. This reaffirms the authority and rank of "Staff 1", + thereby putting the reader in the subjective and + subordinate posture. + + 2. "Their evaluation of that contact was favorable." + + a. This is an ego boost...a pat in the back if you + will. + + b.

The group has cracked the door open for the reader. + They evaluated you and you have been found + acceptable to them. + + 3. "You may use this data at your own discretion." + + a. As stated above, a contradiction. Information is no + longer privileged. + + b. This also makes "Privileged Information" nothing but + a ploy or tease. + + c. The reader now has to decide as to whether or not to + accept the mission.

The object, named + 1989FC, presumed to be a large asteroid capable of wreaking + widespread destruction in a collision with Earth passed + within a half million miles of Earth, (a near-miss in cosmic + terms) the closest approach of such an object in the last 50 + years. + + The asteroid, a collection of rock and dust half a mile or more in + diameter, crossed Earth's orbit undetected March 23, in what is + presumed to be one of its annual passes near Earth. + + It was discovered by Dr. Henry Holt, the Northern Arizona University + astrogeologist and astronomer, in photographs taken March 31, using the + 18-inch Schmidt telescope at Mt. Palomar Observatory. + + Scientists later calculated that the asteroid, traveling at 46,000 + miles and hour, is orbiting the Sun once a year on an erratic + elliptical path that brings it back every seven months toward Earth. + + "It can come this close or closer in the future. When two objects are + in overlapping orbits, the bigger one inevitably pulls the smaller one + into its path. Sooner or later it will collide with the Earth, the moon + or Mars," said Dr. Holt. + + Dr. Brevan French, an advanced program scientist with NASA, said that + if 1989FC collides with the Earth, the impact would be equivalent to + the explosion of 20,000 one-megaton hydrogen bombs. A megaton is the + explosive power of one million tons of TNT. French, NASA's expert on + large space objects in the solar system, said that such an impact would + dig a crater a mile deep and five to 10 miles wide. "Landing in an + ocean would be even more destructive," he said. "Depending on the depth + of the water, angle of entry and size, and speed, it could create tidal + waves several hundred meters high. Waves that large could sweep over + coastal areas, causing wide-spread destruction." If 1989FC hits the + Earth, the odds are that it will hit an ocean. + + EOF + + July 1989 Follow Up Story -- Popular Science: July 1989, P13. + + Subsequent observations by Holt and other astronomers pegged the + asteroids speed at 46,000 mph and determined its orbit is highly + elliptical and erratic. It will cross Earth's orbit again in October + 1989, but at a greater distance than the 500,000 miles of its last + encounter in March. This was the closest call of any Earth-crossing + object since asteroid Hermes in 1937, which passed at about the same + distance. + + Many scientists believe that periodic collisions with asteroids or + comets have caused repeated mass extinctions on Earth, including one + about 65 million years ago alleged to be responsible for the + disappearance of the dinosaurs. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + Again, we are provided with information that has been gleamed, this + time from the NY Times and Popular Mechanics---nothing "Privileged" + about it. + + On the surface it looks inocuous, but we are again manipulated, + gently, subtly and maybe even subliminally. Notice the header date, + 3/23/89, the same date that the asteroid crossed Earth's orbit + UNDETECTED. Obviously, it was not the date of the NY Times article. + Also, notice that now we are also provided the "Privileged" information + of the location of this source in the header: "Location: Earth" + + I point out these things because the reader's mind, subconsciously is + picking all of this up, recording it and without the conscious mind + awake, these subtle data points have no reference of true or false. + This makes it easier for someone to convince the reader that the whole + "scenario" makes sense and has validity. Be aware and pay attention to + what you read and question it, before you accept the veracity of what + is being told. Even in presenting a truth, someone with an agenda can + manipulate a person's mind without them being aware unless you exercise + critical analysis in your thinking. + + Also, ask why are these sources being presented? Why media sources + and not the actual IAU circulars, or the scientist's press releases to + the media? The media will edit, rewrite and sometimes leave out + important information and sometimes even produce erroneous information. + The NY Times article first tells us 1989FC makes a presumed pass every + year. Two paragraphs later we are told once every seven months. So what + is it then? Is the article reliable? Or was it just in a hurry to get + to press? Does the Popular Mechanics article provide us with any new + "Privileged" information? No. Its purpose here is to intensify the + hype, placed here to manipulate the reader once again. + + Never take the media source for your prime source of information. Go + to the actual source.

For Richard Miller to have to ask + permission to release this kind of "Privileged" information? But most + importantly, this article offers us a new piece of information that + will in itself cast serious doubt on the scenario that the Phoenix + Project will soon "reveal", the direction that 1989FC encountered + earth's orbit. + + End of commentary + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + YEAR: 1989 + DATE: 4/29/89 + CATEGORY: Magellan Venus Probe + TOPIC: Launch abort, Mission STS-30 + SOURCE: AP Wire + LOCATION: KSC + + COMMENTS: The space shuttle Atlantis, which came within 31 seconds of + liftoff Friday, could remain grounded until late next week, + space officials said. + + Controllers scrubbed the launch when they detected an electrical + surge in a main engine fuel pump. Launch director Bob Sieck said it + will be at least Monday before a second launch can be tried, and he + termed that timetable "optimistic" after saying NASA was also checking + on an unexpected "vapor cloud" that emerged around a hydrogen fuel + line. + + Note: Both of the above excuses were a cover story. The delay was + needed to re-program Magellan's computers so it could track 1989FC when + launched, and then continue on its Venus mission. + + NASA has a nice, long, launch window, until May 28 to get Magellan on + its way. NASA personnel will inspect the Atlantis shuttle over the + weekend. Liftoff could be delayed well into next week if the fuel pump + or the fuel line has to be replaced. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + First we have a very not-so-subtle manipulation. A Note: inserted + right in the middle of the AP story. Please note that it is not a + "Staff 1 note" or a "Phoenix Project" note, but just a note. It is + possible that a reader not paying attention, could mistake it for part + of the AP story itself. + + But what of these claims the note makes? It is full of + contradictions. First of all, there was no need to delay a launch to + re-program Magellan's Computers. If "Staff 1" had simple access to + NASA-SELECT Cable TV or if any of the Phoenix Project "Operatives" + lightly followed NASA projects, they would know that Magellan's onboard + computers could be easily programmed remotely whether on the ground or + in flight. + + Also, notice that the launch was stopped 31 seconds before liftoff. + This is April 29, 1989. Knowledge of 1989FC was known to science at + least since the release of IAU Circular 4767 dated April 7, 1989 so we + know that the actual discovery was made before April 7. But without any + substantiation at all "Staff 1" wants us to believe that NASA would + risk a one billion dollar project almost down to the wire, 31 seconds + before lift-off to "reprogram" its computers---when it had the + knowledge of 1989FCs existence and the time to do it for almost an + entire month. + + Also, remember that all this time that Magellan is on the ground, + 1989FC is zip-a-doing away at the speed of 46,000 miles an hour away + from Magellan and the Earth going in the other direction---making the + task of tracking it that much difficult if it could even do it. Well, + we already suspected that "Staff 1" had very little knowledge or + experience as an intelligence operative, now it appears that "Staff 1" + also has very little knowledge of NASA operations, capabilities and + programs. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Part 5: "Staff 1's" Resume Gathers Points + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + A Case Study Page 6 of 13 + + YEAR: 1989 + DATE: 4/28/89 + CATEGORY: Magellan Venus Probe + TOPIC: Shuttle Atlantis, Mission STS-30 + SOURCE: AP Wire + LOCATION: KSC + COMMENTS: Lennard Fisk, NASA's chief scientist, said the launch of the + explorer craft Magellan will mark "a resurgence of America's + planetary program." The last American probe sent to deep + space was the Pioneer-Venus dispatched in 1978. Magellan is + to be released from Atlantis' cargo bay six hours after + launch and sent streaking on a 15-month, 806-million mile + trip of its own. Magellan will be carrying some of the most + sophisticated remote mapping sensors ever sent to another + planet. An imaging radar system will be able to detect + features on the surface as small as 100 yards, about the size + of a football field. The radar will be operated during almost + 2,000 passes over the Venusian surface, each time viewing a + slice of the planet and then sending the images back to Earth + for computer enhancements. Magellan is expected to map about + 90 percent of the surface while orbiting Venus for about 243 + Earth days, equal to a single Venus day. + + EOF + + YEAR: 1989 + DATE: 5/6/89 + CATEGORY: Magellan Venus Probe + TOPIC: Shuttle Atlantis, Mission STS-30 + SOURCE: AP Wire + LOCATION: KSC + COMMENTS: Follow on story: + + The 7600-pound Magellan probe launched late Thursday, was more than + 175,000 miles from the shuttle Atlantis by late Friday afternoon. Its + initial speed of 25,000 mph has slowed gradually to a cruising speed of + about 7,000 mph. As it nears its target in August 1990 the tug of the + Venusian gravity will increase its speed to 25,000 mph again. + + NASA reported the Magellan was off course by a small amount, but this + was not unexpected. On May 21, a ground station will send a signal to + trigger a small motor firing to adjust the course. + + Note: It was "off course" because Magellan and its sophisticated radar + capability was tracking 1989FC, in an attempt to determine its exact + orbit so its return and possible collision with Earth could be + predicted. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + For those of you that follow NASA, you know that NASA issues daily + reports and updates on all ongoing NASA projects. Here we have two hand + picked reports 8 days apart. A warning bell should go off. Why these + two reports and not others? + + Again, we have a very subtle deception in the above two pieces of + "Privileged" information provided by "Staff 1". The first AP wire + addresses the capabilities of the onboard Magellan computers and it + certainly appears that they are capable of tremendous feats and that + they are, manipulating the reader into believing that they can do + anything. But there is one exception. They only work on Venus. The + sensor, mapping and radar devices on Magellan were designed and + calibrated to be used only on Venus and only a limited range of orbital + altitutes were available for collection of mapping data. For Magellan + to work and do its job, it had to be in close proximity to Venus. For + the most part, this wonderful computer equipment had to wait until + Magellan achieved a Venus orbit. + + In the 2nd AP wire story again we have the intrusion of the non- + identity "note". But what about its claim? Do you recall the date of + its closest approach to earth orbit? March 23, 1989. For 43 days now, + 1989 FC has been streaking away from us at 46,000 miles per hour. By + this time, it isn't even close anymore or for that matter, in the same + part of the Solar System as Earth or Magellan. The "Phoenix Project + operatives" and "Staff 1" also forget that Magellan slowed down to + 7,000 mph. Each hour that goes by, 1989FC is getting further and + further away making its tracking (if it was so) that more difficult if + not impossible. + + Now wait a minute? What about the off-course claim? Yes, it was off + course. But what "Staff 1" didn't know is that the booster used, the + IUS, is solid fueled. With solid fuel you can not test the motor + beforehand. Thus it isn't uncommon to have to tweak the trajectory to + compensate for these slight variations. The total delta vee (an + engineers shorthand way of saying the change of velocity) of the tweak + was only a few feet per second, a very small value indeed. Which kind + of puts the damper on "Staff 1" and the whole "off exploring the + asteroid" caper. + + Again, it appears that the only things that "Staff 1" and the + "Phoenix Project operatives" really know and understand about NASA + operations, comes from a cursory look at what the AP wire puts out. + Which leads me to wonder, if the information they say they have access + to is not coming from the "inside", where is it coming from? + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Part 6: "Staff 1" Re-asserts Himself + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + A Case Study Page 7 of 13 + + + YEAR: 1989 + DATE: 4/26/89 + CATEGORY: Project Zeus - SDI + TOPIC: Magellan Probe - Shuttle Atlantis, Mission STS-30 + SOURCE: AP Wire: Cape Canaveral, FL. + LOCATION: KSC + + COMMENTS: The Atlantis commander says his crew is "mighty proud" to be + part of the first space shuttle planetary mission scheduled + to blast- off this Friday.

Ask yourself if your heart didn't pump a little + bit faster when you read "Phoenix Project Note"? Why did it? Because + even though you are being walked through this, your subconscious is + reacting to the manipulative techniques exposed so far. + + We went from the initial strong manipulative Introduction which + established the subordinate/authority relation between the reader and + "Staff 1", through a series of non-identity notes and now we are coming + back where the authority is once again emerging. + + But what about the Phoenix Project Note? What does it really mean? + + 1. "Staff 1" alludes that he is providing us with "Privileged + Information", hidden knowledge that NASA is not telling the + reader. + + 2. Also he introduces a new player in the game---SDI experiment. + + 3. "Staff 1" has raised the stakes! Another sinister element. + + + But, is it really sinister? Is NASA not telling us something? Do we + really have a new player in the game? + + First of all, the source we are being quoted is once again an AP + wire. Doesn't "Staff 1" know that NASA releases detailed mission + profiles on shuttle missions? Available to anyone that wants one. And + if it indeed does have a classified DOD mission, it says so. This + ladies and gentlemen, is a classified DOD mission or experiment. Each + shuttle mission carries an array of experiments and projects. The + shuttle is often used as a tracking target for a number of earth and + space based photo recon and optical tracking systems as its orbit is + VERY WELL known, and the optical characteristics of the spacecraft are + well understood.

The Shuttle Challenger disaster. Grey directed sabotage -- to delay + the deployment of the SDI weapons system by halting the space + program. A two year delay was accomplished. This sabotage was + revealed in the U.S. Senate Investigation of the Challenger Shuttle + disaster. Expert testimony, revealed in the Senate investigation, + disclosed the presence of tiny "knife-like" cuts in the rubber "O" + Rings between booster sections. This damaging testimony was openly + revealed in the televised Senate hearing. However, the source of the + sabotage was not revealed and the subject was quickly changed. + + MAJI determined the sabotage was carried out by an inspector at + Morton- Thiokol's Utah plant and by a contractor's worker at Kennedy + Space Center. MAJI investigators, later, apprehended both + individuals. Examination and interrogation revealed that both had + "implants" and were under the Grey's mental control. Both men have + disappeared from public view. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + I used to work on the STS program as well as Art Bozlee, the + Aerospace Science SYSOPS on Genie where most of this information comes + from. If the Challenger accident was an act of sabotage why are there + NO records of the committee meetings? Even secret testimony has a + public date. The dates are a matter of public record. Only the records + would be secret. The fact the Senate met to investigate Challenger + would be in the public record. All the meetings are known, and the + record is in the public domain through the Congressional Record. There + was no secret testimony. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. + + There were cuts in some of the SRB O-rings caused by hot gas erosion + that look much like they were made with a blade, but they are the + result of the lousy design of the system and the fact the cuts only + showed up when the rings were cold. If the O-rings got cold and they + were flexed as they would be when the Shuttle SRBs ignite the brittle + O-ring material literally cracks with a hard, clean edge that looks to + the naked eye as if it were made with a knife. + + Electron microscopy shows a quite different picture on the very small + scale, thus we can tell if the O-ring was cut or was broken. The + Challenger 0-rings were broken. There is no evidence that suggests, + even for a milisecond, that sabotage was a factor in the accident. And + yes, that aspect of it was investigated quite completely. + + Apparently what MAJI also doesn't know is that the O-rings are + installed in Florida, not Utah. An inspector in Utah could not have + done the deed if he wanted to. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + 2. The recent "catastrophic" weather events (examples of the Grey's + technological prowess) i.e., the two recent Hurricanes devastating + Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii. In addition, consider the recent + diversionary and attention demanding events in Germany, the USSR, + Yugoslavia, the Persian Gulf and Somalia. The Grey's timetable is on + schedule. The number of controlled Humans exceeds one third of the + Earth's population, based on current intelligence estimates. With + this number of pawns, under their control, they can create + diversions where ever they choose. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + Excuse me "Staff-1", if what you say is true and the grays are in + such control, why would they have to skip-a-doo to the barrios between + Mars and Jupiter to nudge a rock our way that would only create a + crater 10 miles wide? And whose current intelligence estimates? It + wouldn't be MAJI by any chance, the same folks that don't know that O- + rings are installed in Florida, not Utah? + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + 3. Current relief efforts are being strained to existing limits. + "Overload," is close at hand. The monetary expense to pay for same, + could soon bankrupt the U.S. and the world economic community. + Should one or more additional major disasters occur before the end + of 1992 i.e., a major earthquake, 7.5 or greater, in a heavily + populated area, another devastating hurricane, an asteroid strike, + etc., economic and social collapse is foreseen. The Greys will have + achieved their objectives. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + Did everyone pay close attention as to when "Staff-1" discourse + turned from an appearance of presenting verifiable facts to wantom + hysteria and paranoia? Did everyone notice a steady declining rate from + the rational to the irrational? + + Staff-1? Who is doing the foreseeing? So far you have demonstrated a + lack of knowledge of intelligence procedures, NASA operations, orbital + mechanics, and you have an association with a group of people, MAJI, + that purports to have investigated the Challenger disaster, but + obviously doesn't even know where the O-rings were installed. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Part 10: Hey! Where is the beef? + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + A Case Study Page 11 of 13 + + + 4.

Thus far, + the Greys are unaware that they have experienced such interference. + The diversion of 1989FC is an example. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Commentary edited by Ed Stewart + + We now see that we have a whole team in the huddle, a triad, that + together are smarter than the grays. "Staff-1", you have me confused + again. First you say the grays are smart, then you say they are not + smart, then you say they are powerful, then you say they are not that + powerful, then you say they are all powerful, and now we find out that + they don't even know of these "others" that are spoiling their + takeover, even though just a while back you emphatically suggest that + they could do it anytime they so wished. Is it that they have been + spending too much time out between Mars and Jupiter moving rocks + around? + + You say the grays can hop on two spacecraft, position an asteroid and + hurl it towards Earth, that they control the weather on Earth, and one + third of the population, yet not see someone tip-toe in their own turf + and reposition the asteroid? I am really impressed. I have never seen + Mighty Mouse do that. Who are these "others"? + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + MAJI is fully aware of the Greys intentions. They have undertaken + many covert operations against the Greys, without their knowledge, + while maintaining a pretence of cooperation with them --still hoping + they will obtain the Grey's technology.

You mean that not only the "others" but also MAJI tip-toes + behind the grays without the grays knowing? And still play poker with + them? A while back, I thought you said that MAJI couldn't handle the + grays at all. So it isn't MAJI that leaks information to you, but the + dissident MAJI. What is it? They don't know how to play poker? Which + MAJI group investigated the shuttle disaster? I want to know who not to + stack my chips behind. + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + MAJI, to "hedge their gamble," is also trying to establish a liaison + with those "other" extraterrestrials, in the hopes that "they" will + "bail-them-out" if the Greys come too close to achieving their + ultimate objectives.

It was just + one of your operatives, Richard Miller talking about Hatoon, the real + Hatoon. + + Staff-1, just between you and I, we both know that the contactee + scene of the fifties through seventies has for the most part fell out + of favor with the UFO community. You don't suppose Richard Miller might + be trying a comeback of somekind? Do you? You know.

Please! Ask yourselves a simple question.

Another thing that is apparent to me is that all the time UFO + researchers have invested on the advice of these "mystical moles" is + time that has not been used to verify, investigate and analyse UFO + cases and reports that have physical trace EVIDENCE associated with + them.

A loss is not an + investment. A loss of time is not an investment.

This caused him to lose some sensation of feeling in his hands and +forearms. He said that he momentarily lost control of the truck and swerved +to the left hand side of the road and then onto the left side shoulder. As +this was happening he observed a UFO moving above and ahead of him and, as +he managed to stop the truck on the left shoulder, the UFO was hovering +several hundred feet ahead over the road. Ed said he had his Polaroid +camera with him in the truck. He grabbed the camera and took the picture +(Photo #19). But then he realized the object was moving and he had the +impression that it was going to come back and hit him with the white beam +again. He immediately crawled under the truck where he would be completely +shielded. Unfortunately his legs were still protruding as the UFO did, +indeed, shine the white beam down on him again. + + The complete story of the Road Shot (and Ed's other sightings) is told +in his book, The Gulf Breeze Sightings (Morrow, NY, 1990). This is a +must-read for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of +Photo 19, the stereo photos of May 1 (which will be referred to later) and +of all of the Gulf Breeze Sightings. Technical analysis is provided in A +History of the Gulf Breeze Sightings (updated version available from the +Fund for UFO Research). For the purposes of this discussion the description +given above of how Photo #19 happened to be taken is sufficient. + + During the initial analysis of Photo 19, in the spring of 1988, it was +assumed that the bright irregular image within the image of the road was +the reflection of light from a non-uniformly radiating source within the +glowing bottom of the UFO, and that the UFO was actually over the +reflection. This seemingly reasonable assumption allowed the size of the +UFO to be estimated in the following way. First the location of the +reflection was determined by projecting a sighting line across the road in +the direction of a "tree bump" in the skyline that appears above the image +of the UFO. As a person walked along the sighting line form the camera +position toward the tree bump he crossed the road and actually walked +through the location of the reflection. Since the reflection image partially +obscured the yellow line in the road, it was assumed that where the sighting +line crossed the yellow line was the approximate location of the +reflection, and hence the approximate location of the UFO. Measurements +made on the site yielded a distance of about 185 feet from the camera to +where the sighting line crossed the yellow line, When this distance was +combined with the size of the UFO image on the film the size of the actual +UFO could be calculated. It was found to be about 7.5 ft across the bottom +bright area, about 9 feet high and about 12 feet across the mid-section. + + The calculation of the UFO size is the extent of the analysis that has +been published to this date. However, in an unpublished calculation done +during the summer of 1988, I used the RI to estimate the size of the +illuminated area on the road. A simplified calculation showed that it had to +be quite long in the dimensions along the line of sight. In fact, I +estimated it to be about 80 feet long, if its center were 185 feet from the +camera. Although this was a surprise to me, I simply attributed this to +light coming out from the bottom of the UFO in a non-circular pattern at +very flat angles (i.e., nearly horizontal). This seemed odd, but it +certainly didn't violate physics. + + Recently Rex and Carol Salisberry, in reevaluating the Walters sightings, +carried out an independent analysis of the RI in Photo #19. Being unaware +of my 1988 calculation of the elliptical spot on the road they proceeded +from another assumption. They assumed, for unstated reasons, that light +could only come downward from the UFO in a direction roughly parallel to +the (nearly) vertical axis of the UFO. Combining this assumption with my +estimate of the bottom diameter (7.5 feet) they concluded that if the UFO +were real, then it would illuminate a spot on the road that would be only +slightly larger than the bottom of the UFO itself. That is, they claimed +that the illuminated spot on the road would have been nearly circular and +only about 7.5 to 8 feet in diameter. They then used simple photogrammetric +and trigonometric calculations to predict what the size of the RI should be +under their assumptions. They predicted that the RI should appear as a very +thin line in Photo 19. Since it is, in fact, a very fat line (measured +vertically), it disagrees with their prediction. Hence, they claimed that +the RI could not have been caused by an actual reflection in the road since +to do so would be a virtual physical impossibility (Salisberry, Interim +Report on the Reopening of the Walters UFO Case, 23 Sept. 1990). The +discovery of this "physical impossibility" led them to further conclude +that the RI must have been faked (by double exposure) with the logical +consequence that the whole photo, the story, etc. were all faked. + + It is of great importance to note that their result follows directly +(after some simple math) from their assumption that light from the UFO +could only travel downwards (roughly) parallel to the axis. If they had +allowed for the possibility that light could travel outward from the bottom +of the UFO at very flat angles then they would have seen that the spot on +the road could be much larger than the bottom of the UFO. This is the +result I obtained in the summer of 1988. + + My reanalysis of Photo #19 is based on the assumption that the RI really +was caused by light reflected from the road. Starting from this assumption +I have estimated the nearest and farthest points of the reflection. The +distances from the camera to these points were estimated by combining +on-site measurements with measurements on the photographs. By measurement +it was found that the sighting line from the camera toward the tree bump +crosses the near edge of the road at a distance of about 90 feet from the +camera and the far edge of the road about 490 feet from the camera. The +illuminated spot on the road lies between these two distances. Using +photogrammetric techniques involving angles that are determined by +measurements on the photographs, I estimated that the closest point of the +illuminated area to the camera (the lowest point of the RI) was about 180 +feet away, and the farthest point was about 305 feet away. (These distances +could easily be off by 10 feet either way because of the low precision in +measuring the actual boundary positions of the images.) Similarly, the +width of the illuminated area was about 8 feet. Thus the spot on the road +was approximately a thin ellipse with the long axis running along the +sighting line to the UFO. (These calculations did not take into account the +slight downward slope to the road from the centerline toward the edge. To +take this into account would require a much more complicated analysis and a +very accurate survey of the road. If the downward slope were to be taken +into account it would likely decrease by a small amount the calculated +length of the illuminated area.) + + Although the illuminated area is highly elongated, there is no physical +reason why such an area could not be produced by a UFO (or by a +conventional light source). Thus this analysis shows that the RI is not a +"virtual physical impossibility" and it cannot be used as proof that Photo +19 is hoaxed. However, the analysis does raise the question of how the +highly elongated illuminated area might have been produced. + + One way would be for the UFO to be over the far end of the reflection, +for example, and emanating a very elliptical (in cross-section_ beam in the +direction of Ed's truck, but pointed downward so that it hit the road. +Alternatively, the UFO might be over the center of the illuminated area, +directing light downwards and both toward and away from the truck. Yet a +third possibility is that the UFO is farther away from the truck than the +illuminated area and is directing a beam downwards and toward the truck. It +is this last possibility which I find most interesting. + + It is important to realize that a previous assumption can be arbitrarily +rejected. Previously I and others had assumed that the UFO was actually +over the illuminated spot on the road. With this assumption it was possible +to calculate the size of the UFO based on the image size and on the +measured distance to the reflection (assumed to be rather compact and +centered about 185 feet away). Thus the assumption was necessary for the +previous analysis. However, it was not justifiable since the distance to an +object cannot (generally) be estimated from a single photograph. + + The distance to an object can be calculated from a stereo pair of +photographs, however, and Ed obtained just such a pair on May 1, 1988. The +details of this sighting are in Ed's book. The information which is +important here is that, using a stereo camera with a two foot baseline, Ed +photographed two UFOs, the larger of which looks like the UFO in the Road +Shot (see Ed's book for further details). These stereo photos also have +images of lights which were at a known large distance. The images of the +distant lights allowed the cameras to be calibrated for parallax. After the +calibration had been done it was found that the UFO was about 475 feet away +(over water!) and nearly 15 feet in diameter across the bottom. Thus its +width was nearly twice the value which I had originally estimated for the +Road Shot UFO (about 7.5 feet). + + Assume, now, that the size of the Road Shot UFO was the same as the size +of the large May 1 UFO. Since the image size corresponds to a bottom +diameter of 7.5 feet at 185 foot distance, then it also corresponds to a +diameter of 15 feet at about 370 feet. + + If the UFO were actually 370 feet from the camera (but still over the +road) the sighting line crossed the far side of the road at 490 feet), then +the UFO would have been 65 feet from the farthest point of the reflection +(at 305 feet from the camera). Hence the only way that light could get from +the UFO to the illuminated spot on the road would be if the UFO projected a +beam of light 65 feet toward the truck but downward at a slight angle so +that the beam hit the road. The color of the RI suggests that this beam of +light was white or pale yellow. + + A reconstruction of the Road Shot scene, with the illuminated spot +between the camera and the UFO, is presented in Figure 1. This +reconstruction can explain a puzzling fact about the RI: its high level of +brightness. Under the previous assumption that the UFO was directly over +the reflection I carried out tests with a powerful, 100,000 candlepower +spotlight shining directly down onto the road. This reflection of the beam +on the road made film images that were much, much less bright than the RI. +Hence I had to assume that there was an extremely intense (much, much more +than 100,000 candlepower) source of light within the UFO. + + This new reconstruction can explain the brightness of the RI quite easily +without resort to extremely intense light sources within the UFO. It is +well known that virtually any surface, even a rough black surface like a +road, can give a strong reflection in the forward direction when +illuminated by light at a grazing angle. This is the phenomenon of forward +gloss (a rough, diffuse reflector becomes nearly a specular reflector at +grazing incidence). This particular case, with the beam from the UFO +hitting the road at a flat angle (several degrees) and the camera viewing +the illuminated area at a flat angle (about a degree), is virtually +"optimized" for the forward gloss effect. Experiments with a spotlight have +confirmed this effect at the site of the Road Shot. Hence it is reasonable +to conclude that the RI is a result of a moderately intense beam of light, +like that from a powerful flashlight, projected downward at a slight angle +from the UFO, incident at nearly a grazing angle on the road and reflected +in the direction of the truck. + + Although the photograph itself provides no information which would allow +us to choose which is the actual situation (e.g., UFO over the center of +the reflection, UFO at the far end of the reflection, UFO beyond the +reflection, etc.), the context of the situation does provide enough +supplementary information to suggest a choice. ED described being hit by a +white light before he ran off the road. He said that after he took the Road +Shot he climbed under the truck because he thought the UFO was going to +zap him again with the white light. (He says that the UFO did just that +while he was crawling under the truck.) What might have caused him to think +that the UFO was going to direct the white light at him again? Could it be +that the white light was contained within a beam from the UFO and that Ed +realized that the beam was hitting the road just ahead of him after he took +Photo 19? Perhaps the white spot on the road, made by the beam, started +moving slowly toward the truck just after Ed took the picture. Under these +circumstances, he might well have concluded that the object was going to +try to hit him again with the beam. + + Although there is no direct photographic evidence that the RI was made by +a white beam on the road, the preceding discussion shows that the existence +of such a beam would be consistent with Ed's story and with the brightness +of the RI. The existence of a beam also allows the UFO to be further from +the truck than the reflection and this, in turn, means that the UFO in the +Road Shot could have been then same size as was the "large size Type 1 UFO" +in the May 1 stereo photos. + + + CONCLUSION + + The preceding analysis shows that the sample of the RI is not a "physical +impossibility" and hence does not prove the Road Shot is a hoax as claimed +by Rex and Carol Salisberry. + + A reconstruction of the Road Shot scene based on this reanalysis supports +Ed's story by demonstrating that the RI may actually have been caused by the +white light, which Ed described, in the form of a beam projected from the +UFO toward the truck. + + Note: Photo 14 also has an RI underneath the image of the UFO. The RI is +quite non-circular and can be explained in a manner similar to the +explanation of the RI in Photo 19. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

All Rights Reserved. + + ParaNet (Denver, CO)--October 11, 1989--July 2, 1947 could be a day +that will go down in infamy in the history of UFOlogy. The +place--Roswell, New Mexico. The event--A crash of an intelligent, +biological entity controlled, highly sophisticated machine from literally +out of this world. So says the team of Don Schmitt, Regional Director +of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) of Chicago, +Illinois, and Kevin Randle, a former Captain in Air Force intelligence +who began researching this highly controversial report from July, 1947. + According to the reports, a UFO crashed during a violent +thunderstorm in a very remote area of the Brazel ranch northeast of +Corona, New Mexico around July 2, 1947. As has been previously +reported, the crash site was quickly cleaned up by personnel from +Roswell Army Air Force Base in Roswell, New Mexico. Jesse Marcel +was quoted as stating that the material that he found in the desert was +not of this world and was ordered to fly the remains to Carswell AFB in + Texas where a press conference was held to tell the nation that the +material found was that of a crashed weather balloon. Further, +unconfirmed reports, claimed that alien bodies were also recovered and +all remains were taken to the infamous 'Hangar 18' at Wright- +Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio where a tight security lid was clamped +down on the study of the find. To date, virtually none of this material +has ever been substantiated. According to Don Schmitt, a coverup of +major proportions has ensued for over 42 years as to the true nature of +the Roswell crash. + When Schmitt attempted to reconstruct a time line of the incident, +he found too many pieces missing and began an investigation in +September, 1987 to determine what those missing pieces really were. He +enlisted the aid of former Air Force Intelligence Captain Kevin +Randle, whom Schmitt stated, was totally a skeptic. He was friends of +Phil Klass, and Schmitt wanted such a skeptic involved in the +investigation. According to Schmitt, Randle 'has total conviction' in +UFOs now. + During the investigation, a definitive time line was +established from July 2, 1947 to July 10, 1947, and it was found that +there were numerous witnesses to the incident that had never been found +nor had been interviewed. From this point onward, Schmitt and Randle +made four trips to New Mexico and other parts of the country +interviewing the witnesses to this incident. Locating the exact +location of the crash, with the help of Bill Brazel, the son of the +rancher that originally made the awesome discovery, Schmitt and Randle +and some scientists conducted a survey and excavation of the crash site. + Jerome Clark, editor for the CUFOS bi-monthly publication IUR, stated +that the crash site was in an extremely remote area. The findings +of the excavation of that area will be detailed in an upcoming +publication of IUR. + William Moore and Charles Berlitz drew national public attention +to this incident with the publication of 'The Roswell Incident' in 1980. +During the investigation, Schmitt found that the material in the book +was "highly inaccurate, and had much paraphrasing and many misquotes with +very misleading information which really surprised us." The CUFOS +investigation has turned up some very interesting facts and is +"specifically attacking the military involvement with Roswell," Schmitt +stated. + "There is clear evidence of a coverup. More evidence, in fact, of +a coverup than ever before. In fact we can pinpoint where it +originated, the time line, the manner and degree with which it took +place," Schmitt said. "And, where the specific orders were coming +from. Originally, Moore talked about one flight in the book with Jesse +Marcel. We have found two other flights with other people and have +tracked down those crewmen. So far, I have tracked down a dozen former +military people who were involved who have never been interviewed." + When asked about why this material was never brought to light with +Ruppelt or Keyhoe in their previous writings, Schmitt states, "The coverup +was so effective at that time. If you think back to July, 1947, the +intelligence network was at its peak just coming off the war. Everything +was still in place and in high gear. They so quickly removed it from the +intelligence office in Roswell. The Pentagon became involved immediately. + All orders were going through counterintelligence and we have pinned +down those people involved. They still deny involvement, but we have +other people that testify to their involvement. So, the coverup is still +ongoing. That surprised us too. That 42 years after the fact, we still +have these people that confidentially tell us 'that we still cannot talk +about it.'" + When asked how the MJ-12 material is affected by this, Schmitt +states, "It is the reason behind our initial investigation. +That if the purpose behind the MJ-12 document was disinformation, it was +to strike a death blow to Roswell we had to make a distinction and make it +in a hurry." However, although some details about Roswell that have +surfaced from this investigation that confirm such a group, there is no +firm link to them. Stan Friedman has been encouraged by Don Schmitt +to continue seeking the truth about MJ-12. It is noted here that Stan +Friedman is conducting a cooperative investigation in light of these new +facts about Roswell. There is corroboration between Friedman and CUFOS. +According to Schmitt, the focus of their investigation is Roswell and the +details behind the crash. + It appears that some very interesting things are surfacing on this. +According to Jerome Clark, "The Roswell Incident is the most important +known UFO event in history. By the time that this investigation is over +it will shape our future understanding of the UFO phenomenon. This +investigation gets to the very core of all issues." + In closing, Clark stated that such questions as "Are UFOs real? Are +they physical and intelligently controlled? Are they piloted by +Biological Entities that originate outside of this world?"

DELL'AQUILA (ab114) +Subj: Neil Hits the Mark--RPD +COPY OF LETTER TO DR. LAMBE +Since Dr. Lambe, moderator of the SF Reviewers' SIG has seen fit +to delete all reference to UFOs from his board, I am uploading +this copy of the beginning portion of a rather lengthy upload to +the SF OPEN Forum Board. (Apparently Dr. Lambe has concluded +that his OPEN Forum was to be closed to matters pertaining to +Ufolog. Thankfully, Page has not come to a similar conclusion. + Dear Dr. Lambe: + Thank you for your letter concerning your opinions on +UFOs, but I believe you are operating under a misperception. +I do not presume to know what UFOs ARE, because I really don't +know; but the evidence does establish beyond a reasonable doubt +that they are not ALL misperceptions or hoaxes. Indeed, the +reports that stem from IDENTIFIABLE sources do not, obviously, +fit the definition of an UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object. + UFOs have been reported by entirely competent witnesses +whose sightings have been corroborated by other independent +witnesses and instrumentation, such as radar. To make the a +priori assumption that all UFOs are the result of misperceptions +of known objects or phenomena simply misses the mark. I can +therefore only conclude that you have not adequately informed +yourself on the subject. With all due respect to your opinion, +I am uploading this reply to the Science Fiction SIG, as you +suggested, and I hope it will generate additional discusssion of +the subject. In the end, it is only by thorough review, +discussion and a legitimate scientific inquiry into UFOs that +any answers will be found. + In 1895, the philosoper William James berated his +scientific colleagues at Harvard University, saying "They show +such a lack of scientific imagination that it is hard to see how +one who is actively advancing any part of Science can [say that] +all the fundamental conceptions of truth have already been found +by Science. Think how many absolutely new scientific +conceptions have arisen in our generation...Is this credible +that such a ushroom of knowledge, such a growth overnight as +this, CAN represent more than the minutest glimpse of what the +universe will really prove to be when adequately understood? NO! +Our Science is but a drop, our ignorance a sea..." + Almost a century later, James has been fully vindicated by +discoverys such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and associated +new concepts that overturned the previous scintific "truths." +Our scientific knowledge continues to grow exponentially. + The focus of your reply seems to be that UFOs do not exist +as such, but your opinion is based on a false assumption. The +issue of UFO existence cannot be dismissed on the basis of any +such a priori assumption, but must be premised upon +investigation. The evidence to date indicates that UFOs are +phenomena not completely understood by our present Science, but +which fall into one or several of the followi categories: + that conform to the laws of physics, but require + extraordinary explanations; + that conform to undiscovered laws of physics; + action, conforming to known and unknown psychological + principles, or + ( ETC. ) + In reviewing the recent upload by Neil, I believ his +approach most accurately "hits the mark." We don't KNOW what +UFOs are or will prove to be. We can make some educated guesses +to explain all the many credible reports, and the +extraterrestrial hypothesis is only one among many of the +possible alternatives. +--------------------------------------- + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Frankly, a more honest response would have +been a simple, "I don't know what the Coast Guard saw that night for +3-4 hours, it could have been Venus/Jupiter." + But at least you had the fortitude to respond. It is +important that the subject of UFOs be discussed openly without +emotionalism or hysterics. After all, we are free to disagree, +hopefully in a civil manner. I suppose yours is at least a more +straightforward approach than that taken by the sysop of another +Freenet SIG who, after inviting UFO discussion, has elected to erase +all UFO uploads from his SIG and who, when all else fails, resorts to +name-calling as a torical device. Well, taking your toys home +when you lose the game is a rather immature way to deal with +confrontation.

"Solution: Venus/Jupiter" period. + Guys: You are the experts. People look to you for ansrs. +If you teach, your students rely on you for accuracy. When you +publish, other experts rely on your objectivity and clarity of +analysis. Yet you ask us to accept the Venus/Jupiter hypothesis +primarily because you have put it forward as the "truth."

At least when the next UFO comes along, the handy- +dandy Venus/Jupiter explanation (or something similar) will be ready +to go. + By the way, what an insult to the Coast Guard. Apparently, +according to the skeptical "experts", their men are not capable of +distinguishing the planets in the night sky--even after several hours +of observation. Fair enough, but don't expect any Christmas cards +from the Coast Guard, guys!

You proud graduates of the Phil Klass School of +Skeptical Technique have recognized that the first requirement of a +skeptic is to remain skeptical: to sift through the evidence, only +emphasizing those facts that can be made to support your hypothesis +and ignoring the "meaningless residue" for purposes of clarity. +However, the a priori assumption with which you approach this +particular subject (i.e. "UFOs do not represent any phenomena which +cannot be explained in prosaic terms.") renders your resulting +opinions on the matter largely irrelevant. Although your credentials +as Skeptics remain firmly intact, be honest enough to admiyou +cannot adequately explain ALL aspects of the sighting. Don't push +sophistry. + I respectfully suggest that the Venus/Jupiter hypothesis is a +professional embarassment to you, since it completely igres the +observed phenomena and fails to explain how the Coast Guard personnel +could have been so grossly fooled by known celestial objects. Guys, +it's okay to admit you just "don't know" what was over Lake Ee that +night.

An interesting UFO +report from the 1960's involvingthe test firing of an Apollo +space program booster rocket recently came to light as a +result of a follow-up to the January 21, 1988 Whidbey Island +UFO sighting. Dan MacIndoe of Oak Harbor, Washington received +many phone calls from other UFO witnesses as a consequence of +reporting his UFO sighting to a local radio station and giving +out his home phone number. One of them was from Paul J. Allen +of Snohomish, Washington, who told him of his encounter with +a UFO while working for GE/NASA in the summer of either 1966 or +1967. + +A quality control inspector working for General Electric +at the NASA Mississippi Test facility at the time, Mr. Allen +was at work during the st captive test firing of the +second stage, Saturn IV-B rocket. He doesn't recall the + +exact date but he believes it was probably during the +summer of either 1966 or 1967. (The date should be easily +obtnable from archived historical records of the +Space program.) + +At approximately 11:00 p.m. he stepped outside the Data Pro- +cessing Center building for a smokeaand to view the test +firing. He noticed a brig tlight approaching rapidly from +the east, which he took to be a light from a plane at first. +However, it approached the Test Facility at an unbelievable +speed, slowing over the Saturn V-B test stand before contin- +uing on towards the Saturn IV-B test stand, whereupon it +stopped and stood over the exhaust blast from the test +firing for a minute to a minute and a half. He descirbed the +UFO as 200 feet in diameter. It hovered at 3,000-5,000 feet +during the stage 2 captive firing, directly over the +exhaust blast updraft until the firing ended. Then it +approached at about 30 mph, came over the data processing +center for about aother minute, and left travelling almost +straight up. + +Mr. Allen states there were 19 peop who witnessed the UFO +where he stood and another 9 to 11 people on the roof of the +Control Facility Building, who had been filming the test +firing and also saw it. No pictures of the test firing +were ever shown to his group although they were shown film +footage of all other firings. They were told that a weather +balloon with a flashlight attached had been the cause +of the UFO report and that was what they had seen.

WEDGE (ae511) +Subj: The Eastlake UFO:DBW + +In regard to Mr. Sanduleak's upload, perhaps it is time to +explain that we ALL are aware tat Venus and Jupiter were in +the western portion of the sky that evening. After the sight- +ing, Dell'Aquila and Wedge went out to the sight and did sight +these planets in the western sky. We even took some calcu- +latiions as to the location of the planets at the times that +witnesses were seeing the objects over the lake. From +our determination, we can state that the objects that were seen +over the Lake were nt Venus and Jupiter. The witnesses that +evening knew where the planets were. The subject who reported +the objects was travelling EAST and was facing east when the +objects were seen to her left, the northern portion of the +sky, near the residence. + +In regards to the Coast Guard, Mr. Sanduleak must only be +reading the report of the second evening. It would seem that +anyone being involved in the Coast Guard would have a basic +knowledge of the skies above us, since it is a tool that they +use to navigate the seas. I would also doubt that Coast +Guard personnel would mistake Venus and Jupiter as the culprit +being bind objects being seen to be approximately 500 yards +offshore about 20 feet above the ice. I have never known the +planets to do this. If you go to the sight of the incident, +there is no west to look at on the ice, since it is obscured +by the Eastlake Coal Burning power plant. From the reports, +of on-scene witnesses with the Coast Guard personnel, the +sightings were north or overhead of the witnesses for the first +portion of the sighting. After that, the objects descended +from overhead and came down on the ice. The witnesses, who +have been living at that location for some time, stated +that they have never noticed an ice breakage likke the one that +was observed that evening. To prove the object wasn't to the +west, refer to the report when it is stated that the objectswere 500 yards +offshore about 20 feet about the ice, and began +to move closer as headlights were flashed. At that time, +then it moved to the west, therefore, if something was in +the west, being obscured by the power plant, it couldn't have +been west and then turn west. There is another amazing facet +to this story, and that is that after this sighting, an indepen- +dent witness took a picture of the triangular sha object, +which we have the negative to. The object in the picture fits +the description made by the witnesses at the scene of the +encounter. + +Lastly, because we ensure secrecy of witnesses, it is +unfortunate that the Coast Guard will not allow us to inter- +view the Coast Guard personnel that were at the scene that +evening. Who has something to hide? Is it Sanduleak that is +frightd of a real incident or is the Coast Guard frightened +that they have given the smoking gun that could open up the +paper trail on a real phenomenon? +Dale + +--------------------------------------- + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The letter was +sent to both the Pensacola News Journal and the Gulf Breeze +Sentinel. + +--------------------------------------------------------------- + +October 30, 1990 + +Dear Editor, + + As the primary investigators of the famous Gulf Breeze UFO +case now involving over 70 photographs, Charles Flannigan +and I feel we must comment on the "road shot." This photo, +#19, has received doubtful comment in newspapers and TV +recently. One investigator said that the reflection on the road +doesn't form a round spot, so the photo most be a double +exposure. A careful look at the surface of Shoreline Drive, +191B where the UFO hovered, will help explain the reflection +resulting from the large bright light source on the bottom of +the UFO. + + Looking down on the surface, you can see that about 30% is +mostly white with some tan rock. This rock has a hard smooth +surface. It is embedded in comparatively soft dark asphalt, +and the light colored rocks have become oriented with mostly +flat surfaces up. Over time, some asphalt has worn away 1 to +2 millimeters below the hard rock surfaces. A series of photos +taken with a 100,000 candlepower light shining at various +angles on the road shows enhanced reflectivity at shallow +angles. This seems to be the result of spectral reflection from +the light colored rocks. Because the asphalt is worn down +below the surface of the rock, only the rock is visible when +looking farther down the road. This causes more photons to +reach the camera than you would normally expect from +light reflected at a small angle. Now the shape of the +reflection from the UFO becomes easier to understand. + + For those who still have doubts about the authenticity +of this photo, you might look carefully at two photos in a +copy of THE GULF BREEZE SIGHTINGS. Turn to page 129 and +look at the daylight photo of the road. Compare the brightness +of the double-yellow line between the hood and windshield +wiper with the brightness near the spot where the UFO hovered. +Now look one page back at photo #19 and make the same +comparison. (Good light is helpful here.) The double-yellow +line appears brighter near the UFO. This tells us that light +from the UFO is reflecting off the line; hence, NO DOUBLE +EXPOSURE (emphasis theirs). + + We have had the good fortune of getting to know Ed and +Frances Walters well since our extensive investigation of the +many Gulf Breeze UFO encounters of 1987 and '88.

Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an optics and laser +specialist with the Naval Surface Weapons Laboratory near Washington, DC, one +of the Fund's founders and members of the group's Executive Committee, has been +secretly meeting with CIA officials since 1979, briefing them about various UFO +matters and investigators. + +In a recent interview, Maccabee confirmed that he has given a number of +briefings on UFOs at CIA Headquarters at Langley, Virginia, the most recent of +which was on Friday, May 28, 1993, just before the Memorial Day weekend. While +the latest presentation was primarily about "residual magnetic effects" +alledgedly discovered after an incident near Gulf Breeze, Florida, other +meetings with the CIA have involved such matters as "MJ-12," the Roswell +incident, purported UFO photos and films, physiological effects on UFO +witnesses, psychic phenomena and UFO researchers. + +Maccabee described one meeting at a CIA conference room that he said was +"standing room only," in which he briefed CIA personnel on the supposed super- +secret "MJ-12" group detailed in "documents" revealed by William L. "Bill" +Moore, a person who subsequently claimed to be a government disinformation +agent. At the same time and for undisclosed reasons, Maccabee briefed the CIA +men on the CIA's own UFO files released under the Freedom of Information Act +(FOIA). + +Following the "MJ-12" conference, Maccabee was told by Ron Pandolfi, a CIA +official who is Maccabee's main contact at the agency, that he had "created a +lot of spies" within the CIA. It seems that in the aftermath of the session CIA +officers began snooping on each other and combing each other's files in some +sort of bizarre search for evidence of the fabled UFO control group, sparked by +Maccabee's talk. Maccabee even persuaded Pandolfi to have the CIA's librarian +for "MJ-12" references in the Roscoe HillenKoetter (an early CIA director) +files. The results were negative, reportedly. + +Maccabee first approached the CIA in early 1979 after traveling to New Zealand +to investigate the filming of an alledged "UFO" from a plane by a television +crew. Although most people who viewed the film were unimpressed by the jumpy +blob of nocturnal light, Maccabee for unclear reasons, decided the film +represented some sort of probative evidence of UFOs and set out to bring it to +the attention of CIA officials. He then put out feelers through his contacts +with companies performing tasks for the CIA, and later a meeting was set up at +CIA Headquarters, during which he screened the film and summarized his analysis +of it. + +A short time later, Maccabee revealed details of his meeting to W. Todd Zechel, +founder of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS) and UFO researcher specializing +in government coverup. Zechel had initiated a Freedom of Information Act +lawsuit against the CIA in September 1977 in conjunction with Peter Gersten, a +New York attorney, and Ground Saucer Watch, a Phoenix-based UFO group for which +Zechel was Director of Research. In December 1978 the suit resulted in the CIA +releasing more than a thousand documents it had claimed didn't exist prior to +the suit. + +In recorded conversations with Zechel, Maccabee disclosed that a CIA official +had taken him aside after the New Zealand UFO film briefing and revealed that +he was the custodian of the CIA's UFO files. These files, the official said, +consisted of some 15,000 UFO-related documents, of which, he claimed, only "two +or three thousand were really interesting," the remainder being mostly mundane +Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) reports and items of lesser +interest. All of these documents had been turned over to the CIA's Freedom of +Information Staff, the official told Maccabee, in response to the FOIA suit +Zechel had filed. + +It should be noted, at this point, that the CIA had been ordered to search all +of its files for UFO-related documents and make a full accounting of them. This +Stipulation and Order was in accordance with an agreement Zechel and Gersten +had worked out with the CIA's attorney and a U.S. Attorney at a Status Call +hearing on the suit on July 7, 1978. It was then that Zechel had, in a rather +forceful manner, threatened to have CIA officials criminally prosecuted for +issuing false replies to FOIA requests on UFOs. Faced with this, the CIA had +backed down and agreed to cooperate. However, subsequently the CIA only +accounted for 1,000 documents and claimed to be withholding a mere 57. + +What Maccabee was told in confidence by the CIA's UFO files custodian dove- +tailed exactly with statements made by CIA representatives during the course of +the suit, during which attorney Gersten was led to believe in excess of 10,000 +documents would be made available. There was also a letter to Zechel from the +CIA's FOIA staff asking him to suspend action on a particular request, stating, +"1,000 pages of additional UFO related documents have just been located" and +were being processed. + +It was also clear from analyzing the documents released on December 15, 1978, +that the CIA was continuing to be deceptive. Brad Sparks, a researcher with +CAUS, found references in the released material to more than 200 other UFO- +related documents which the CIA had failed to acknowledge. Moreover, it was +evident the CIA had carefully selected the documents it released, even with +heavy censorship. The CIA only accounted for documents related to matters +Zechel and Sparks had uncovered during their investigation of CIA involvement, +and excluded many others such as conclusions of its emergency studies of UFOs +in 1952, 1957, 1965, 1967, and others. These studies were carried out in +secret, utilizing Domestic Contact Service (a.k.a. Domestic Collection +Division) agents, during a number of UFO flaps and in conjunction with the +Condon Committee study (1966-68). + + A Missed Opportunity + +In March 1979, after the CIA filed deceptive affidavits with the court about +its purported search of files, Gersten set out to file an Order to Show Cause +Why the CIA Should Not Be Held in Contempt of Court. The Show Cause order asked +the court to penalize the CIA for failing to comply with the Stipulation and +Order agreed to in 1978. + +It was during the construction of the Show Cause motion that Maccabee made his +remarkable revelations to Zechel, who immediately asked if he could speak with +the CIA officer. Shortly, Maccabee informed Zechel that the CIA man refused the +request. Maccabee also declined to identify the CIA official, other than to say +he was formerly a medical doctor with the CIA's Office of Scientific +Intelligence who had become the head of a CIA subgroup that among other things +conducted research concerning psychic phenomena. + +Zechel hurriedly informed Gersten of Maccabee's disclosures, but attempts to +enlist Maccabee's cooperation with the suit were met with refusal and +obfuscation, including an attempt by Maccabee to mislead Brad Sparks by telling +him the briefing did not take place at CIA headquarters, and he claimed to be +unsure if the men he met with were CIA employees. This clever manipulation of +the facts threw Sparks off the trail and made Zechel's information about the +meeting appear to be suspect. + +It was clear from Maccabee's other statements to Zechel that Maccabee intended +to cooperate with the CIA on a continuing basis and that he hoped to become its +sort of UFO-man-on-call, perhaps being dispatched around the world to +investigate UFO sightings--sort of the James Bond of UFO encounters. Zechel +found this to be a rather silly fantasy in light of the fact he had found the +CIA had been conducting secret studies of UFOs since 1952, and perhaps even +before that, and had utilized high-tech cameras, sensing devices and a +nationwide field staff of agents who became covert operatives in 1973. + +In any case, no thanks to Maccabee the Order to Show Cause was filed one day +late and thrown out of court when the U.S. District Court judge upheld the +CIA's Out of Time motion. The CIA had been 88 days late with its filing, +surpassing a 60 day extension by 28 days. But that mattered not to Judge John +Pratt, whose rulings had been reversed five times in the past by higher courts +for decisions unfairly favorable to the CIA. + +In the years since, Maccabee and Zechel had several phone conversations +revolving around Macabee's relationship with the CIA. At one point, Zechel +asked him, directly, if he was working for the CIA. "You might say that," +Maccabee replied. In April 1990, however, Maccabee began to back-pedal on what +he'd been told by the CIA's UFO files custodian in 1979. Suddenly he contended +the official had said "there might be as many as 15,000 UFO-related documents" +scattered throughout headquarters. In this version, The CIA man had merely been +speculating about the totality of the CIA's collection, judging by the one or +two thousand he had control over. + +The 1990 interview with Maccabee was witnessed by UFO lecturer Robert Hastings +as it played over a speaker phone in Zechel's office. Several years earlier, +Hastings had called Maccabee about another matter and in passing asked him +about reports of his contacts with the CIA, the 1979 briefing. Maccabee feigned +puzzlement and denied the whole thing. + +In the most recent interview, Maccabee continued to cling to his contention +that the CIA official had been guessing about the 15,000 number. When it was +pointed out to him this was illogical in light of the fact the acknowledged +custodian would have no reason to suppose another 13,000 documents were located +in other files, Maccabee had no response other than to assert it seemed logical +to him. + +In point of fact, the custodian of the UFO files had merely inherited them as +the result of being "Keeper of the Wierd," as Maccabee described it. There were +general files on UFOs from several CIA offices, including Scientific +Intelligence, thereby presenting no basis to suppose there were large numbers +of additional documents elsewhere or for making an educated guess as to their +total. In other words, why would a person who believed he was custodian, that +13,000 other UFO documents were being stored in other places somewhere in the +CIA? + +The answer seems clear: Maccabee treasures his secret relationship with the CIA +more dearly than he feels any need to be forthright about matters vitally +important to objective researchers. + +Although for years Maccabee has closely guarded the custodian's identity, in +the most recent interview he confirmed the official's name is Christopher C. +"Kit" Green, more recently the chief of the Biomedical Sciences Department at +General Motors. Dr. Green attained a Ph.D. in Neurophysiology in 1969 and in +1976 received his M.D., Doctor of Medicine, degree. Green was awarded the CIA's +National Intelligence Medal for his work on a "classified project" from 1979 to +1983, precisely the years in which Maccabee was meeting with him at CIA +headquarters. Green uses somewhat of a cover story to describe his CIA work, +calling himself a "Scientific Advisor on the Advisory Board to the Directorate +of Intelligence, CIA." + +According to Maccabee, Green sought out Bill Moore in 1988 or 1989, shortly +after Moore had his 15 minutes of fame as a technical consultant for "UFO +Cover-Up? Live!," the disastrous two-hour TV special that featured back-lit +ravings by "Falcon" Doty and "Condor" Collins. Subsequently, Green became +BLUEJAY in Moore's fabled aviary, although it's unclear if Green realized he'd +become a member of the flock. But then birds of a feather do flock together, +don't they? + +According to Maccabee's account, "BLUEJAY" Green volunteered to carry out +special missions for Moore, the confessed disinformationist. One of these +assignments involved Green trying to make contact with Robert Gates, the +Director of Central Intelligence under President George Bush. It appears Moore +told Green that Gates held some lofty position in the current configuration of +the mythical "MJ-12," and Green was supposed to approach gates by passing some +sort of code word or phrase, a scenario right out of an old pulp spy novel. +Maccabee, with some disgust, says Green "bungled" the code word and the +rendevous fell through. + +Remarkably, Maccabee seems not to understand how foolish all this looks to +people who have intensly studied the government's handling of UFOs over the +years, nor does he seem to question the validity of Moore's activities, long +after Moore publically confessed to being a liar and betrayer of fellow +ufologists, a la his contention in 1989 that he was a "controlled informant" at +the annual MUFON symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada. + + + Dr. Maccabee, Bill Moore & MJ-12 + + +At this point we are forced to review the whole sordid history surrounding Bill +Moore, his associate Rick Doty and his highly dubious claim to have been +ordered to spy on Paul Bennewitz by members of unnamed agencies of the United +States Government. This review is necessary in order to appreciate the lack of +judgement that Dr. Maccabee (and therefore FUFOR) has demonstrated in his +continuing support for and association with Bill Moore and more importantly +Bill Moore's best known creation--the MJ-12 hoax. + +Paul Bennewitz is a man with a long history of mental illness who, when lucid, +ran a company called Thunder Scientific Corp., a manufacturer of temperature +and humidity measuring devices, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mr. Bennewitz +claimed to have observed and filmed alien spacecraft activity over restricted +areas of Kirtland, AFB and tried to interest Air Force officials in his +sightings. Robert Hastings, a resident of the same city, spent some time with +Bennewitz on two occasions after stories of Bennewitz's UFO encounters began to +surface. Contrary to Moore's claims that Bennewitz had seen and filmed super- +secret UFO-like craft over the Manzano Weapons Storage Area and the Coyote +Canyon Test Site, Hastings found the films to be hoaxes so crude and poorly +done as to be laughable. It was quite obvious, Hastings says, that one film was +of several birds in flight (metaphorically appropriate, wouldn't you say?). +During the screening, Bennewitz claimed the birds' flapping wings were alien +spacecraft "force fields" moving up and down. Another film "looked like +Bennewitz had thrown it on the floor and walked on it," Hastings added. The +film was nothing more than a series of smudges, hair and other debris. A third +film purportedly of a "green fireball" phenomenon as reported in one of Doty's +bogus documents was found by Hastings to be somewhat drawn on the underside of +the 8 mm film strip with a green magic marker. + +Hastings, a compassionate and fair-minded person, quickly realized Bennewitz +was a mentally disturbed man suffering from paranoid delusions revolving aound +alien beings. At one point, Bennewitz showed Hastings print-outs of complete +garble which he claimed were messages from the "aliens." Bennewitz interpreted +the garble for Hastings, explaining that the aliens had tracked him from his +hotel to Bennewitz's home, that they liked him and wanted to rendevous with him +later that evening at a remote site. Hastings said thanks but no thanks. A long +time friend of Bennewitz's has confirmed that Bennewitz has been repeatedly +hospitalized by his family and treated for mental illness over the past decade, +long before Moore had reportedly began working his alledged disinformational +magic on Bennewitz. + +For a better impression of Bennewitz's mental state, check out this description +taken from an advertising flyer for Christa Tilton's 'The Bennewitz Papers, 'a +book based upon his ramblings: "Bennewitz reported [that] horrid people began +following him, breaking into his home to install wire taps, Air Force men +showing up at his doorstep at all hours..he was being drugged and was convinced +aliens were coming into his home and sticking him with needles. He became a +frightened man. He also felt like the government was possibly behind some of +the happennings." + +There was probably thousands of people all over the country suffering from the +same sort of paranoid delusions as Paul Bennewitz. What set Bennewitz apart was +that he came into contact with an AFOSI agent named Sgt. Richard Doty. + +"Falcon" Doty first surfaced during an attempt to sell a hoaxed incident about +a pitched battle with aliens at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, where Doty had +been stationed. Bob Pratt, armed with a legitimate looking report about the +reported case that had been concocted and leaked to Doty, conducted a lengthy +investigation for the 'National Enquirer' but failed to find even a shred of +supporting evidence. Later, Doty began sending phony letters to APRO, trying to +bait them in similar fashion. Then, while stationed at Kirtland AFB, New +Mexico, Doty came into contact with Bennewitz as a result of Bennewitz's +attempts to get Air Force officials to listen to his rantings about alien +encounters. + +While other Kirtland officials had politely declined to meet with Bennewitz, +Doty apparently saw an opportunity to make hay with Bennewitz's bales. Doty +even invited Jerry Miller, a former investigator with the Air Force's 4602nd +Sq., the group that did legwork for Project Blue Book, to a meeting with +Bennewitz. Miller came away convinced Bennewitz was nothing more than a +mentally disturbed person, a "nut case," and advised Doty that he was wasting +his time. + +But devious Doty was not discouraged. He concocted reports incoporating some of +Bennewitz's stories, adding his own embellishments, then sought out Bill Moore, +whom he heard speaking about UFOs on a local radio station. The pair soon found +a great deal in common: Doty was determined to make big money by concocting +phony UFO stories and Moore was determined to get rich by exploiting the +subject. In fact, Moore told Todd Zechel in early 1980 that "I'll bet you've +heard that you can't make money off UFOs? Well, I proved that wrong!" Bruce +Maccabee was present when Moore made this brag, but apparently did not see what +dangers it foretold. + +Moore showed some of Doty's reports during a documentary on UFOs produced by +Ron Lakis, and later Barry Greenwood and Larry Fawcett of CAUS captured one of +them on video tape freeze-frame, then submitted FOIA requests for the +documents. Doty responded to the request by forwarding several "reports," which +were dutifully reprinted in 'Clear Intent' , Greenwood and Fawcett's book. This +process legitimized the "documents" and convinced even skeptical UFO advocates +that Bennewitz had stumbled onto something important. + +Shortly thereafter, members of CAUS took the bait Doty had dangled. Peter +Gersten CAUS's attorney, made contact with Doty through Bill Moore and a +meeting was arranged. There, Doty alluded to possessing other "hot" information +on UFOs and subsequently offered to sell Gersten "documents," stating he needed +money because his wife had recently divorced him and he owed legal fees. +Gersten wisely declined the offer, fearing he was either being set up for +criminal prosecution or that Doty was attempting a swindle. + +Moore, the man who had resurrected the Roswell incident (a case for which the +best explanation at that point seemed to be some sort of top secret constant +altitude balloon project), began working with Doty on developing documents to +support crashed saucer recoveries, knowing these would have a greater financial +value than Bennewitz's "sightings." Documentary filmmaker Linda Howe was +invited to Kirtland to meet with Doty, during which she was shown a purported +"Presidential Briefing Paper" on crashed saucers that described four such +incidents. Doty also regaled Howe with tales about captured aliens known as +EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities), a term invented by Paul Bennewitz, +the same person responsible for "greys," a 'classification' for little E.T.- +type aliens now in common use. + +Doty continued to string Howe along for several months, telling her she'd been +selected by a super-secret control group known as "MJ-12" to make startling +disclosures to the public about alien beings, promising to deliver lengthy film +footage of downed saucers and even to introduce her to a live alien. Howe ate +it up with a spoon, proving once again, that you can fool some people all of +the time. + +Moore and Doty came up with a clever scheme to disguise the fact they were in +cahoots. Shortly after Howe's Kirtland visit, Doty phoned Howe and charged, +"Why did you tell Bill Moore that you and I had slept together?" Up to this +point, Howe had never in her life spoken with Moore, but after Doty's +unsettling accusations she tracked him down and called him to find out why he +had told Doty a lie about her. Moore, of course, denied the charge, but +'confessed' he was also working with "MJ-12" and suggested they get together to +compare notes. + +In this manner, Moore was able to reinforce Doty's bogus disclosures without +appearing to be a co-conspirator. It was a method he used throughout the entire +scam: by bringing in credulous outsiders such as Howe and Lee Graham and +circulating the bogus material among them or just flashing it on them, he was +able to obfuscate the origin of the "documents" and make it seem as though +others were involved with the "leaks." In reality, the "Majestic-12" was +"Swindlers-2," Doty and Moore. + +For example, Moore gave a copy of the "briefing paper" Doty had shown to Howe +to Capt. Bob "Condor" Collins, who subsequently read parts of it over the phone +to Howe, who recognized it as identical to the one flashed by Doty. Howe became +even more impressed by the fact an active-duty officer had the "briefing paper, +" and by then was arranging with HBO to broadcast Doty's earth-shaking +disclosures. + +"Condor" Collins claimed to have gotten most of his information about UFOs, +captured aliens and underground bases from U.S.A.F. Lt. Col Ernie +Kellerstrauss, with whom he had served at Wright-Patterson AFB. Kellerstrauss +may have been the officer who purportedly had spent a year with EBE-1, during +which he'd learned of the critter's preference for strawberry ice cream. Now +retired and living near Dayton, Ohio, "Hawk" Kellerstrauss refuses to comment +on Collins' claims. + +In any case, when Moore came to Denver to meet with Howe, he proposed they work +together to exploit "MJ-12's" revelations, suggesting that Howe do the film and +he'd write the book. Moore added that he intended to get "very rich" from the +effort. Howe, convinced she'd been chosen to perform a great mission for the +government (the old "Messiah" syndrome), which according to Doty, wanted to +come clean about UFOs, said she wanted only to perform her patriotic duty and +desired only to be reimbursed for her expenses. + +Meanwhile, Moore conferred with Brad Sparks, whom he regarded as an expert on +the government's handling of UFOs. Moore asked Sparks which crashed saucer +cases he though offered the most promise for pay dirt, and Sparks said he +thought the Roswell incident, about which Moore had previously co-authored a +book, and one that reportedly occured in December 1950 near the Texas-Mexico +border. The latter case had been researched by Todd Zechel, who first heard +about it in 1964 from a colleague in the Army Security Agency whose uncle had +purportedly headed the recovery. Sparks, along with Jerome Clark, had been kept +apprised of Zechel's investigation. + +Two manuscripts written by Zechel on the case had been obtained by Moore under +suspicious circumstances. One was acquired from Jerome Clark, with whom Zechel +had been writing a book. (Clark reportedly leaked the report to Moore in +revenge for Zechel pulling out of the book deal, which Zechel claims was caused +by Clark refusing to do his share of the work.) A second, up-dated report was +given to Moore by Harper and Row's West Coast office, purportedly in an effort +to evaluate the validity of it. + +In December 1984, Jaime Shandera, a TV producer and friend of Moore's, received +in the mail a roll of 35 mm film that contained the new improved "Presidential +Briefing Paper." Quickly, Moore set about circulating this material in his +typical manner of legitimizing phony documents. Later, the hoax briefing papers +would be revealed to the world in a full-blown press conference and be shown on +ABC-TV's prestigious 'Nightline' with Ted Koppel (in June 1987) and other +shows. + +It is no surprise that the briefing papers devoted a great deal of space +validating Moore's pet case, the 1947 Roswell incident, and only a scant +paragraph to the 1950 case. Moore further tipped his hand by the manner in +which the 1950 crash is described. Zechel's early report on it, written in +1978, located it near Laredo, Texas, while his up-dated report, written in +1982, claimed it occurred near Del Rio, Texas, nearly 400 miles from Laredo. +The two reports also had slight differences in dates, the first stating it +happenned on Dec. 7, 1950 and the second said Dec. 5, 1950. + +Moore solved these contradictions by dividing the differences in half, stating +the location of the crash as "El Indio-Guerrero," which is about halfway +between Laredo and Del Rio, and the date as "6 December 1950," precisely +between Zechel's two dates. But the division method is not quite as inspired as +Moore's description of the flying saucer as "almost completely incinerated," +adding that what little debris remained was taken to Sandia Lab. + +One can almost picture Moore's devious mind churning as he created the briefing +paper. He had come to hate Zechel because the CAUS founder had dared to +criticize the Roswell incident in the report leaked by Jerome Clark, plus he +had heard Clark blame Zechel for the collapse of his marriage--the ex-Mrs. +Clark had apparently counted on the Clark/Zechel book elevating them out of +near-poverty. So Moore rationalized his venom and aimed it at Zechels's pet +case. "I'll fix him," one can hear Moore vowing, "I'll burn up his damn +saucer." + +Throughout the affair Moore dropped a number of clues to indicate his +involvement in creating the briefing paper--almost crying out, "Stop me before +I hoax again!" One example of this is an article in 'Fate' magazine written by +Jerome Clark, during the period Clark was still enoumored with Moore. Clark had +worshipfully told the story of how the briefing "documents" had come to light. +Moore said he was ensconced in a motel room when "at precisely 5:00 P.M. +someone knocked on the door and a man appeared with a bundle under his arm. He +said to Moore that he had 17 minutes to do whatever he wanted with what he was +about to be given. He could copy it but couldn't keep it. _Moore had a camera +and did his best_ . The document purported to be a briefing paper telling +newly-elected President Jimmy Carter about MJ-12, Project Aquarius, the little +grey men and the rest (emphasis added.) + +Hmmm, could this be the same 35 mm photos that showed up in Shandera's mailbox? +When the obvious evidence of Moore's guilt was brought to Clark's attention, he +was quick to defend his pal. "Oh, no that was a _different_ briefing paper," +Clark disclaimed. Oh, yeah? So what happenned to _that_ briefing paper, Jerry? + +Of course, by this time Moore had begun to distance himself from Rick Doty, +since it had become obvious to a number of people who had communicated with +Doty that he was a shameless, compulsive liar. Moore didn't denounce Doty, +however, he merely tried to shift the "Falcon" identity to someone else, +telling Clark that "Falcon" was really a Defense Intelligence Agency employee. +Curiously, the new "Falcon" just happenned to be telling Moore the same things +as the old "Falcon," only the spotlight was now presumably off Doty. + +In similar fashion, when it became evident to low-level researchers that Paul +Bennewitz was mentally ill and his information unreliable, Moore cunningly +claimed to be a disinformation agent who had been assigned to spy on and +confuse Bennewitz. Supposedly, this was necessitated by Bennewitz having +stumbled onto some big UFO secrets, but as we have seen, Bennewitz's sightings +were merely a product of his own jumbled mind. In reality, Moore adopted the +"secret-agent" stance in order to protect Doty and give himself the opportunity +to protest his innocence in the future should anyone prove his "Presidential +Briefing Paper," "MJ-12" or "Aquarius" documents to be bogus. That is, he could +always claim he was "just following orders," much in the manner of the Nazis +brought to trial for war crimes. + +There are those who will no doubt continue to contend that all of this is the +result of some giant conspiracy designed to disinform, confuse and mislead +Maccabee, Moore, Linda Moulton Howe, the Fund, and the rest of ufology. The +available evidence certainly indicates Moore and Doty fabricated the MJ-12 hoax +independently and almost certainly for personal gain. In our opinion there is +little doubt that as more and more of this grand hoax caves in on him, Moore +will retreat further behind his "controlled agent" persona and leave it up to +his dwindling followers to sort it all out. + +Remarkably, even after Moore made his confession in Las Vegas (an appropriate +setting) thanks to Maccabee's influence he was still able to have himself and +Doty portrayed as authentic heroes in books by Whitley Strieber (Majestic) and +Howard Blum (Out There). Even best-selling author Sydney Sheldon contributed to +the salute to this fine pair of American heroes, one of whom had "confessed" to +driving an innocent man nuts! + +Actually a tip of the hat from the creators of Hitler's diary and the author of +the Howard Hughes hoax, Clifford Irving, would have been a hell of a lot more +appropriate. + +To be frank, the whole sorry mess is a great example of what happens when you +allow the foxes to guard the chickens. Ufology, which lives by the old "hear no +evil;see no evil;speak no evil" when it comes to each others pet cases, wallows +in hoaxes and misinformation as a result. But that wouldn't be so discouraging +if it were not for the fact all this rubbish is passed onto the public in the +form of books, TV shows and lectures. + +The only leading ufologists who have acted responsibly in this whole affair +have been Greenwood and Fawcett of CAUS. For their troubles, they have been +vilified, hated, resented or just plain ignored by the rest of ufology in the +mad rush to grind out books sparked by Moore's deceptions. In this field of +study, the hoaxers are celebrated and those who cry foul are sent packing. + + The Sea Gull & The Pellican + + +Dr. Maccabee's (the "SEA GULL" in Bill Moore's foolish aviary) activities and +conduct throughout the whole MJ-12 affair must now be critically re-examined. +How much involvement did he have in spreading the MJ-12 hoax? How much +influence did Ron Pandolfi (the "PELLICAN") have over his conduct during this +whole affair? + +Dr. Maccabee published a paper titled 'UFO Landings Near Kirtland AFB or +Welcome to the Cosmic Watergate' in 1985. The report was co-authored by Bill +Moore and printed on FUFOR stationary. The report is an investigation into the +alledged incident described in the Kirtland Landing Document dated Sept. 9, +1980 released by HQ/AFOSI. A careful examination of the circumstances +surrounding the document (and Maccabee's _own report_) clearly shows that the +document is a fraud created by Doty. Dr. Maccabee's apparent support for the +Kirtland document lent credence to Doty and his fraudulent claims at a critical +time. If Dr. Maccabee had exposed Doty at this point a great deal of time and +effort could have been saved by researchers. Dr. Maccabee now privately admits +that the whole MJ-12 mess is probably a hoax. He justifies his position of +providing support for the MJ-12 investigation by maintaining that there is a +secret control group, a MJ-12 "by any name" as he puts it. Apparently the +details aren't important. When did Maccabee know the MJ-12 material was +fraudulent, was it before he provided Stan Friedman with $16,000 of Fund money? + +It must be pointed out here that the Fund rejected a detailed proposal to re- +sue the CIA under FOIA submitted by Todd Zechel a few years ago. Zechel had +outlined a plan to go after the 15,000 documents described by Maccabee's +friend, Kit Green, and had asked for a paltry $500 to get the effort rolling, +using a dilligent attorney who had volunteered to do the legal work. The Fund +quickly rejected Zechel's proposal, but later handed $16,000 to Stan Friedman +in an effort to validate the MJ-12 documents. Unfortunately we are forced now +to re-examine the motives of Dr. Maccabee. We must ask if his CIA contacts had +any input into this (or any) decisions regarding proposals. This input may not +have been so obvious as one would first think. Consider the scenario wherein +Maccabee's CIA contacts express subtle hints suggesting to Maccabee that there +may have been an MJ-12, this may have been enough to influence his decision to +make such a large grant. Conversely, who knows what input the CIA had in +Maccabee's rejection of Zechel's modest proposal. + + One Last Quickie + + +In summary, Moore runs around giving silly code names to everyone he meets +who's connected in some way to the government, much like a 10 year old boy +trying to play spy. None of these people have any direct knowledge of UFO +events from what we've seen, and mostly they just repeat or re-circulate +stories originated by Moore and Doty. Moore only uses them to create an aura of +mystique around himself and to obfuscate the bogus nature of his "discoveries." + +Doty apparently had a track record of financial improprieties, and, according +to Maccabee, was thrown out of AFOSI, demoted to cook and ultimately forced out +of the Air Force. Seemingly, his entry into the UFO field was part of a pattern +of misconduct, and given the willingness of many ufologists to believe wild +tales, he was able to manipulate their credulity into greater gains and glory +than would have been possible elsewhere. + +Yet even after Doty's credibility had (or should have) dropped to zero and +Moore himself had "confessed" to being a disinformationist, they were, in late +1991, able to pull off yet another swindle. + +In an announcement dated Oct. 25, 1991, Moore invited his FOCUS newsletter +subscribers to send him $25.00 in order to receive a "free copy" of a book he +was writing with Doty and Jaime Shandera. The book was offered as a re- +subscription benefit. This "free" book was supposed to be published in January +1992, entitled, "The Scientist, the Government & UFOs...Personal Recollections +of the Paul Bennewitz Affair...A Case Study in Disinformation." In a tabloid +like rave, Moore previewed the book thusly: "Government cover-up; +disinformation;UFO abductions;alien underground bases; secret treaties with +extraterrestrials;plots to take over and enslave planet Earth;Dulce,New +Mexico;Groom Lake/Area 51,Nevada;strange goings on at Kirtland AFB;secret +agents;covert operations, mysterious radio transmissions;grey aliens;blond +aliens; and much much more!" + +Reportedly, hundreds of suckers sent in their $25.00, proving P.T. Barnum right +once again. And of course they all got stiffed:FOCUS promptly went out of +business, the "free" book never got printed and Moore next emerged as the +"executive editor" of FAR OUT magazine published by Larry Flynt (who also +publishes _Hustler_ magazine) where he began publishing articles by some of his +good friends like Bruce Maccabee. + +Perhaps Moore, now that he's gainfully employed will make refunds. But you can +probably count on that much as you can count on him making one last +confession-that he helped created the single biggest hoax in ufology. + +It is important to note here that all this should be viewed not as a tribute to +Bill Moore's hoaxing abilities but rather in light of Dr. Maccabee's (hence +FUFOR's) concurrent relationship with the CIA. Has Dr. Maccabee's support for +Moore and MJ-12 simply been the result of poor personal judgement? + + Gulf Breeze + + +No single individual bears greater responsiblity for promoting the Gulf Breeze +case to the ufological community and probably the general public than Dr. Bruce +Maccabee. Dr. Maccabee was one of the earliest and most vociferous proponents +of the case. His technical evaluation of the photographic evidence in the case +was forceful and stressed that the hoax explanation was unlikely due to the +high degree of technical difficulty that would be required to fabricate similar +photographs. Yet after far too much wasted time and resources most serious +researchers have come to the conclusion that indeed the case is a hoax. + +One must question Dr. Maccabee's personal and professional judgement in this +case. Did he simply become emotionally involved with the participants (he +became close friends with Ed & Frances Walters early in the investigation) and +then allow this involvement to cloud his critical facilities? Or, is his +technical ability to analyze photographic evidence really that poor? Given his +then ongoing relationship with Ron Pandolfi of the CIA (and his admission to +having briefed intelligence officials on the case) one could speculate that Dr. +Maccabee's public support for the case might have been encouraged by his +intelligence contacts. This would certainly have served the CIA's interest in +keeping serious investigation of the UFO phenomena out of the public domain. It +is important to note that Pandolfi has stated to others that he considers Ed +Walters to be a "total fraud." + +We submit that even if Dr. Maccabee is an honest proponent of the case on what +he considers to be its technical merit that it is inappropriate for him to +maintain any level of secret relationship with the CIA given his status with +the Fund for UFO Research and the level of public (media) exposure he maintains +in connection with this subject. + + An Embarrassing Protege' + +Dr. Maccabee also maintains a relationship with Robert Oechsler, a man whose +motives in the field are at best mercenery. He has at one point or another +involved himself in virtually every aspect of ufology. Mr. Oechsler has been +variously described as a clown, a fraud and even a con-man (in 1991 he +attempted to involve several of his then friends in the UFO field in some sort +of bizarre pyramid scheme in which participants were to send him money via +Federal Express (so as to avoid federal laws governing mail fraud)--telling at +least one associate that he intended to make several hundred thousand dollars). +Mr. Oechsler who represents himself as a former "NASA Mission Specialist" has +participated with Dr. Maccabee in the photographic analysis of the Gulf Breeze +material. + +Mr. Oechsler has also made a series of fantastic claims concerning his alledged +discoveries of various secret government UFO related projects including an +operational anti-gravity chamber, sophisticated anti-alien defense +installations, a wide-ranging program to educate the general public as to the +reality of the UFO phenomenon and others too tedious to detail here. These +"discoveries" were published by Timothy Good in his book "Alien Liaison" in +England and more recently in "Alien Contact" here in the United States. It is +virtually certain that most if not all of Mr. Oechsler's claims are fraudulent +and he has intimated to Walt Andrus, International Director of the Mutual UFO +Network, that he fabricated at least some of the material. + +Most recently, Mr. Oechsler has been associated with the "Guardian" case +(involving an alledged UFO landing/crash in Ontario, Canada). It is immediately +apparent to anyone who views the Guardian film or reads the accompanying +documents (which detail some sort of alliance between evil aliens and the Red +Chinese) that the case is a very poor quality hoax unworthy of the average high +school student here in the United States. + +It could be argued that were there an official policy of ridicule and debunking +that this is precisely the quality of information that the responsible +intelligence agencies would want to have wide exposure. It would serve their +interests to have opportunists such as Oechsler or sincere but overy credulous +individuals such as Linda Moulton Howe acting as the mass media's principal +contacts with this subject matter. + +Dr. Maccabee has made at least one trip to Ontario to investigate the case. It +is not known whether any Fund for UFO Research monies were expended in this +investigation. Mr. Oechsler has made at least 5 trips to the area - again it is +unknown whether Fund for UFO Research monies have been expended. + +The most important point here is not Oechsler's selling of this material to the +television shows 'Unsolved Mysteries' and 'Sightings' but Dr. Maccabee's clear +support for the validity of the case. Dr. Maccabee spoke in support of the +authenticity of the Guardian video on at least one television program and +before the large audience of a UFO conference in Silver Spring, MD. Once again +we are forced to ask if Dr. Maccabee's past UFO briefings at the CIA we (as +taxpayers) hope that he will refrain from subjecting hundreds of CIA personnel +to a "Guardian" briefing. The picture of large numbers of CIA employees +expending many man-hours attempting to locate references to a Red Chinese-alien +connection is frightening. + + Operation Right to Know + + +Operation Right to Know is a relatively new UFO group seeking to end the +secrecy concerning UFO information. They are attempting to gather public +support for their objectives via direct political action. This group organized +a small but well run demonstration at the White House in 1992 and planned a +much larger one for 1993 (also at the White House) to be held in conjunction +with the annual MUFON symposium being held in Richmond, VA. Members of the Fund +for UFO Research had strongly objected to such a planned demonstration. It had +been reported that the fund discouraged the MUFON organization from +participating in the demonstration. While the demonstration did take place and +was well run, we can only speculate on how much greater impact might have been +achieved if there had been a much larger turnout resulting from official MUFON +encouragement. The objections raised (primarily by Fred Whiting) had ostensibly +been on philosophical grounds. But given Dr. Maccabee's relationship with the +CIA, the actual reasons for this opposition are in question. + + Clear & Present Danger + +Perhaps the single most troubling episode involving Dr. Maccabee's connection +with the CIA was his removal of his long time friend Larry Bryant from the Fund +for UFO Research. Larry Bryant, another of the Fund's founders, was present at +a meeting when Maccabee revealed that he had obtained FBIS (Foreign Broadcast +Information Service) translations from the CIA, and subsequently submitted a +FOIA request to the Agency for other UFO-related FBIS reports. For some reason, +Bryant's request angered the CIA, and Maccabee was scolded by Pandolfi, who +stated that Bryant's action "could jeopardize the _Fund's relationship with the +CIA_." Shortly, Bryant received a "Dear Mr. Bryant" letter from Maccabee +terminating Bryant's membership in the Fund. + +Sadly, this appears to be yet another example of Maccabee valuing his +relationship with the CIA more that he values the friendship and services of a +long-time associate like Larry Bryant, a man whose credentials as an anti- +secrecy activist have been established over 35 years of dedication to the +cause, often at great peril and expense to himself. + + Maccabee Disinforms FUFOR + +Apparently at the same time Maccabee was making great effort to brief members +of the CIA on various UFO matters, he did not feel the need to extend the same +courtesy to other members of the Fund for UFO Research. The results of a +cursory poll of other members of the Fund regarding Maccabee's intelligence +contacts indicate that none of the Fund members were fully aware of his +dealings with Pandolfi. Some of the members knew he had made overtures to the +CIA and others were vaguely aware of contacts and briefings but none were aware +of the full extent of these contacts. + +When Maccabee's activities with the CIA were brought to the attention of +Richard Hall, the Fund's newly elected chairman, Hall said that he and a couple +of other Executive Committee members had attempted to discourage Maccee's +overtures to the CIA. Hall agreed that Maccabee's CIA connections would create +the appearance of impropriety and were an obvious conflict of interest. Hall +also said that he was equally perplexed by some of the UFO cases that Maccabee +had promoted such as Gulf Breeze and the "Guardian" case. + +Hall said that Maccabee's views no longer represented the views of the ruling +body of the Fund and indicated that he would have to take steps to sever ties +between the Fund and the U.S. Intelligence community. + + In Summary + +Apparently all Maccabee has gotten for 14 years of cooperation with the CIA is +a handful of FBIS translations of Soviet news accounts of Russian UFO +sightings. These same reports were evidently leaked to the U.S. news media by +the CIA, perhaps in an effort to embarrass the Soviets. The same type and +quality of information can be had by simply monitoring CNN. The actual FBIS +translations are available by region through the National Technical Information +Service for several hundred dollars annual subscription fee, no special access +is required. + +We submit that it is improper for Dr. Maccabee either as an individual or as a +representative of the Fund for UFO Research to maintain any manner of +clandestine relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency. It is improper +for the Fund to portray a contentious image concerning past and present secrecy +surrounding government UFO information while Dr. Maccabee has this ongoing +secret dialogue with CIA employees. It is improper for the Fund to solicit +evidence of government UFO cover-up and invite people to come forward with +proposals to investigate such matters while one of the Fund's top officials is +briefing CIA officials on the latest developments. How can the Fund be trusted +to protect the proprietary interests or privacy of those seeking to compel CIA +disclosures when its most important member is in regular contact with employees +of the Directorate of Science & Technology, CIA ? We call upon other +responsible members of the Fund for UFO Research to take appropriate action. + +=============================================================================== + + + Associated Investigators Group + +Associated Investigators Group is dedicated to searching out the truth about a +variety of perplexing subjects, including U.S. Government involvement with +UFOs, then communicating those facts to responsible researchers and/or +interested observers. + +Several associates have substantial experience as professional investigators, +either with the government or in related civilian fields.

In addition, are two letters, +one by Richard Hall, the current chairman of the Fund For UFO Research (FUFOR) +and one by Bill Moore, that are also rebuttals to the AIR report. + +Bruce Maccabee's letter contained extensive use of italics. These italics have +been denoted within brackets [..] . I also took the liberty of correcting small +typo errors that appeared in the original. Nothing major, and it doesn't affect +the content. + +=========================================================================== + + + + Aug 9, 1993 + + +Dear Ufologist, + + You have recently received a copy of the Associated Investigator's Report +(AIR) #1, "published" by the Associated Investigators Group (AIG). This report +was mailed directly to over 100 people known to be interested in UFO research, +although, it was not mailed to me nor to many of the other "attackees" +discussed in the paper. The initial recipients subsequently mailed copies to +others. If you mailed copies to friends, please also send each one a copy of +this response. + + A major part of the AIR report is concerned with my "secret" association +with the CIA. Other portions of the paper makes generally disparaging remarks +about me and several other noted UFO researchers.. + + AIR #1 raises the question of whether or not my association with the CIA +impacted on my UFO investigations or on the activities of the Fund for UFO +Research. I can assure that that it did not, as is more fully described in the +enclosed paper. I feel no need to 'defend' my CIA association, inasmuch as it +is not based on UFO research, but rather on professional activities related to +my work for the Navy, which is totally unrelated to UFO research. I have +written this paper to clarify my association with the CIA and also for another +reason which is probably of more importance to ufologists who may be recipients +of further AIG reports. + + The claim made in the AIR #1 (see the last page) that there are no errors in +the paper and this is followed by the "promise" (or is it a threat?) of more +"good" research to follow. In other words the writer of AIR #1 claims for +himself, and for the Associated Investigators Group, godlike accuracy. This +sort of accuracy would, indeed be reassuring, if it were true, especially in +light of the AIR's which are promised on crashed saucers, mind control, CIA +projects, etc. + + However, I have discovered numerous errors in the paper. Therefore I feel it +is my duty to inform the ufo community that this paper is not as accurate as +one might hope. Furthermore, along with the errors is an overabundance of +innuendo and false logic. Hence I must caution the readers of this and future +papers against blind acceptance of what the AIR reports say. I'm afraid that if +this paper is any example, then we must be prepared for a lot of hot AIR. + + One more thing. The "ghost writer" of this paper is one Walter Todd Zechel +who was an important figure in UFO research about 15 years ago. His approach to +the UFO subject was to do anything which would advance his agenda, even at the +expense and I mean $$$, of other people. I know a number of people who suffered +economic loss as a result of WTZ's irresponsibility. + + + Bruce Maccabee + + + Hot A.I.R + + or + + The Mark of Zechel + + by + + Bruce Maccabee + (not anonymous) + + +(Special message: I have plenty of case investigations and analyses to keep me +busy. I don't need this crap, which forces me to use my precious time +responding to worthless charges.) + + "As you well know, there are a lot of people out there with particular axes +to grind or pet cases or theories to spread around. Some of these people would +like nothing more than to drag you down into the mud with them. I fervently +hope that you will continue to operate with the same brilliance and astute +logic and objectivity I've always admired in you. Please continue to demand +evidence and proof, and demand as much of them as you would me." + + (from a letter to Bruce Maccabee by Walter Todd Zechel, June 21, 1986) + + The UFO community has recently been "rocked" by an unpublished but widely +circulated paper entitled Associated Investigators Report #1 (abbrev. AIR) +which reveals, "for the first time anywhere," my [secret] association with the +CIA. It also levels charges of incompetence and/or outright fraud against +several other UFO investigators. After reading this report the intelligent +reader will, I'm sure, be somewhat puzzled. Why was it done? By whom? Was I +really a CIA mole inside the UFO community? What is the Associated +Investigators Group? Who wrote the report? Is it as accurate as it claims? Is +there a "hidden agenda" for this paper? Or is this report really just a lot of +[hot] AIR? + + The Associated Investigators Group members are not named, although 14 +pseudonyms are given at the end of the paper. Even the writer of the paper is +not named. In an "appendix" following the main text there is the following +statement: "For the most part, this report is based upon interviews or +discussion with the subjects named herein, and have been stated as accurately, +candidly and forthrightly as possible. If there are any errors, which is +unlikely, they are probably the result of misinterpretations by the subjects." +(Subjects? Is this an experiment?) Clearly the writer assigns godlike accuracy +to him (her) self and to the AIG. This would be reassuring, [if it were true] . +The writer then advises readers to "not waste your time and energy attempting +to impede our investigations by attempting to guess our identities..." + + CAVEAT EMPTOR! Although gullible readers will probably fall for this crap, +the astute reader will suspect any investigative writing which proclaims +perfection! (The astute reader will also note one error immediately: "pellican" +is not the correct spelling.) The reader should also be wary of any writing by +people who (a) don't have the intestinal fortitude (read "guts") to identify +themselves as they accuse others and (b) have the gall to advise the readers +not to try and identify them. One wonders what these "stealth investigators" +have to hide. Could a similar paper be done about them? + + Finally, there is also a promise of more of this "good" research to follow +and [that is the reason for this paper]. Although there is no need for me to +defend my association with the CIA, since it is based on continuing +professional activities related to my job as a Navy physicist, I feel that I +must alert UFOlogists to the evidence of poor research, use of inference and +innuendo, errors of fact and just plain mudslinging in this paper so that +readers will be better able to [judge the level of accuracy of any future hot +AIR] reports. On the other hand, the promise of future investigative reports +may also be just hot air.) + +SUMMARY OF THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ME AND MY RESPONSE + + The perceptive reader will, of course, immediately realize that, had my +association with the CIA really been totally secret, the paper would not have +been written because [no one would have known about it]. + + The writer essentially poses a legitimate question (which other people have +asked me already), namely, what has been the nature of my association with the +CIA and has it impacted on my UFO research and my activities in the field. +Unfortunately, however, the writer, goes on to argue, via innuendo and false +logic, that my association with the CIA has been poor judgement on my part, at +best, and, at worst, has negatively impacted the UFO field in two ways which +are treated separately below. In the following paragraphs I will answer the +legitimate questions. I will also identify the false logic and innuendo and +respond to it in a manner that rational people will understand. + + +ACCUSATION # 1: The writer charges that my support for UFO cases which, in the +mind of the writer at least, are "obviously" poor cases or frauds (New Zealand, +Kirtland Landing Case, Gulf Breeze, Guardian) has caused other researchers to +waste time and money carrying out their own investigatlons. (How horrible!) But +more germane to the issue which is the subject of this paper, my CIA +asociation, is the writer's allegation that my support for these cases has been +"CIA inspired." According to the writer, "This certainly would have served the +CIA's interest in keeping serious investigation of the UFO phenomena out of the +public domain." Also, according to the writer my support of these cases is +evidence for poor judgement on my part, and no one with such poor judgement +should be a leader in the UFO field (after all...I might lead people astray!) +(I guess the writer does not think much of the average ufologist's ability to +discern fact from fiction in UFO investigation.) + +RESPONSE: The writer implies, without evidence, that a general policy of the +CIA, the "CIA's interest," is to suppress serious UFO investigation. That +implication runs counter my impression gained over the last nine years or so +which is that, at least the part of the CIA with which I have had contact, [has +no policy or "interest" regarding UFO investigation], although several +employees have expressed an interest and numerous employees have attended the +several UFO lectures (the term 'briefings' is too formal) I have presented +there. The writer alleges that my support for these cases has been "CIA +inspired." WRONG! The fact is that the my CIA acquaintances have never +indicated that I should support any particular sighting. In fact, the comments +they make tend to be skeptical or just plain negative regarding sightings and +[the reality of UFO phenomena in general]. My support for these cases has +nothing to do with the CIA and has everything to do with my own investigations +of them. The astute reader will realize that the opinions of these cases +offered by the writer are just that...opinions, unsupported by any evidence in +the hot AIR report. If the writer or any of the AIG group are intelligent +enough to have good arguments against these cases then they can send me their +arguments directly or even argue in public if they want to. + + The writer accuses me of poor judgement in supporting these cases. It's hard +to defend oneself against accusations of "poor judgement." It is like being +accused of "poor taste." People will have differing opinions about the same +subject. Which person is correct? It becomes more a matter of consensus than +establishable fact. At any rate, I will stand by my past investigations and +publications. I have rejected many alledged UFO sightings, but the particular +ones held in disfavor by the hot AIR writer are cases I did not reject for +reasons which I considered to be very good at the time and I still consider +them to be good. If others wish to disagree publicly with my conclusions they +should be willing to state their argument(s) ["nonymously"] as opposed to ["a- +nonymously."] + + On the other hand, these charges of poor judgement can be reversed. I +suspect that the AIG members, should they ever reveal themselves, will be +charged with poor judgement for having circulated this paper widely in spite of +the numerous errors, [ad hominem] attacks and argument by illogic and innuendo +(see below). They will also be charged with "unkind conduct" for [not even +having the courtesy to send me a copy first, although I am the main target of +their attacks!] I first learned that the paper existed during the late evening +of July 24 when Jim Moseley called me to ask me questions about it's +allegations. Over the next week I heard from other people who had received +copies. I learned that it had even appeared in England during the weekend of +July 24. But, oddly enough, of the "subjects" I talked to, [none of them had +received copies directly from the AIG.] I finally got a copy 6 days after this +"load" had been dropped on an unsuspecting world from a person who had received +his copy from the AIG in an envelope with no return address. + + Why was this report circulated widely before I got a copy? I presume it was +circulated by the [perpetrators] of this [travesty] in order to spread their +[lies and innuendo] as far as possible before I (and the others mentioned +herein) could respond. Furthermore, by not listing a return address or the name +of a real person to contact there is no "official" person to whom I can send my +response. I, therefore, must respond to the community in general. + + ACCUSATION #2: The writer claims that the second negative impact of my +association with the CIA has been its effect on the policy of the Fund for UFO +Research. In particular, the writer suggests that my association with the CIA +affected the decision of the Fund to reject a proposal by Walter Todd Zechel +(WTZ) to sue the CIA a second time. The writer further charges that my CIA +association also caused the Fund to support MJ-12 research in spite of +"knowing" that the MJ-12 papers are fakes. + + RESPONSE: WRONG and WRONG AGAIN! One fact that the writer has failed to take +into account ("don't bother me with the facts, this is what I want to say") is +that I did not "run" the Fund like an autocracy. I had one vote on the +Executive Committee of five people and each action required at least 3 out of 5 +positive votes. My suggestions were voted down a number of times. + + In order to support his argument that my association with the CIA impacted +on the Fund decision to reject MJ-12's proposal the writer has resorted to +incomplete reporting and biasing of the facts. I present my version of the +story of this particular incident below. Before beginning, however, I would +like to point out that most of the information used in the AIG was supplied by +WTZ. I know this because much of the information which is in the report I +supplied to him, alone. The report also contains information which he, alone, +told me (and which I didn't tell others...I kept his confidence, but obviously +he didn't return the favor!). In fact, the whole paper bears the [Mark of +Zechel]. This leads me to speculate that WTZ's intent is to use this paper to +get me off the Executive Committee of the Fund. With me not on the Executive +Committee he could once again propose to re-sue the CIA without having to worry +about my presumed interference or alerting of CIA officials (which I didn't do +the first time and wouldn't have done at any time!). If that is true, then WTZ +may be surprised to learn that I had, in fact, stepped down in favor of Richard +Hall at the end of March, 1993, [months before there was any hint of the AIG +paper]. I am now, after 13 years of continual "duty" with the Fund, Chairman +Emeritus, with all the privileges that title bestows (none!). (My "golden +parachute" leaves a lot to be desired.) + + Now let's get to the core of the matter, the rejection of WTZ's proposal to +re-sue the CIA and the subsequent funding of Stan Friedman's MJ-12 research, +the pertinent portion of the hot AIR paper page 8, last paragraph) reads as +follows (I have labelled the abstractions from the paper with numbers for later +reference): + + (1) "It must be pointed out that the Fund rejected a detailed proposal to +re-sue the CIA under FOIA submitted by Todd Zeche1 a few years ago. Zechel had +outlined a plan to go after [the 15,000 documents described by Maccabee's +friend, Kit Green], and had asked for a [paltry $500] to get the effort +rolling, using a diligent attorney who had volunteered to do the work. The Fund +quickly rejected Zechel's proposal, but later handed $16000 to Stan Friedman in +an effort to validate the MJ-12 documents." (my emphasis) + + (2) "Unfortunately, we are forced now to re-examine the motives of Dr. +Maccabee. We must ask if his CIA contacts had any input into this (or any) +decisions regarding proposals. This input may not have been so obvious as one +would first think. Consider the scenario wherein Maccabee's CIA contacts +express subtle hints suggesting to Maccabee that there may have been an MJ-12, +this may have been enough to influence his decision to make such a large grant. +Conversly, who knows what input the CIA had in Maccabee's rejection of Zechel's +modest proposal." + + I would like to answer the last implied question immediately: [the CIA had +exactly no input to the rejection of WTZ's proposal, nor did it have any input +to any of the decisions of the Fund For UFO Research. Period!] Of course the +writer, and WTZ, could have learned this (whether or not they believed it) by +just asking. But their approach is more consistent with that of paranoid +delusionals who have fun speculating about being "under constant attack by dark +forces" (in this case, the CIA) and don't like to ask direct questions and +receive direct answers because they don't believe the answers. Furthermore, as +I pointed out above, even it I had attempted to interject a "CIA perspective" +into the internal deliberations of the Fund - [which I never did], the other +members could equally well argue from their own perspectives. And when it came +to the final "showdown", I had only a single vote. But, again, this logic is +irrelevant according to the writer whose attitude is "don't bother me with +logic or the facts; I like my own conclusions." + + Referring, now, to section (1) of the paragraph above, why did the Fund +reject WTZ's? proposal? The very short answer is that it was at the wrong time +and by the wrong person. More specifically, there are four basic reasons. Three +of these are WTZ's own fault, and one was "bad timing." To understand these +reasons the reader needs to know some history that is not generally available +(see CLEAR INTENT by Greenwood and Fawcett for more information on the CIA +lawsuit). + + The original 1977-1978 CIA lawsuit was prosecuted under the rights granted +by the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIPA...sometimes abbreviated +FOI). The suit was filed on the behalf of a UFO group, now defunct, called +Ground Saucer Watch (GSW). The success of the suit came about largely as a +result of WTZ's own effort in conjunction with New York attorney Peter Gersten +and with considerable help from Brad Sparks. The lawsult was carried through to +a surprising (to most of the world) conclusion: in December 1978 the CIA +released [hundreds] of pages of UFO related material spanning some 30 years +after claiming for months that it was involved for only a short time in late +1952 and early 1953 (the time leading up to the Robertson panel fiasco and the +subsequent panel report which proposed "debunking" as the solution to the UFO +problem). The fact that the CIA had lots of pages of material was not +surprising to WTZ and others involved in the suit, however, because they had +been "led to believe by the CIA's legal staff that the number of documents to +be accounted for would be in the area of 10,000." (quote taken from the draft +of "For Your Eyes Only," a paper written in January, 1987, by WTZ). (Years +earlier, in the January 1979 bulletin of the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, +"Just CAUS," WTZ wrote that in September, 1978, "U.S. Attorney William Briggs +led CAUS officials to believe that the CIA had located in excess of 5,000 +documents. Evidently somehow over the years this number was doubled.) +Furthermore, according to WTZ in his proposal to the Fund, a "reliable CIA +source of mine" pointed out that most of the "components" the CIA which were +searched were the wrong ones. Hence, presumably there could be unreleased +documents in other components of the agency. + + The release of a mere 900 pages dismayed WTZ and the others and they began +planning, [in the spring of 1979], for another lawsuit. (This planning was +going on when I met a CIA employee who suggested that there could be many more +pages of material. Although this incident plays a large role in the AIR +reconstruction of the events, [it played no role] in the Fund decision. My +contact with the CIA is discussed more fully below.) However, for various +reasons there was no second suit of the CIA in 1979 and WTZ subsequently +dropped out of UFO research leaving a trail of unpaid bills and a "few pissed +off people in my wake" (quote from his proposal). + + Move ahead, now to December, 1986 (not exactly "a few years ago," as implied +by the hot AIR paper). The Fund received a proposal from WTZ to re-sue the CIA +for the presumed thousands of documents that hadn't been released. The +Executive Committee of the Fund reviewed his proposal and made its decision +based on the following factors: + +(a) WTZ did not present a strong case that more pages would be released under a +new FOI lawsuit. First his "evidence" that there were more documents was +largely speculation based on hearsay or on information from confidential +sources about which he would say nothing. In other words, he provided no +[proof] that there were thousands more pages to be released. (In fact, one goal +of the suit was a search to find out if there were more more documents.) +Second, the previous suit had been successful only in retrieving documents of +Secret classification and below. Both the CIA and later NSA (National Security +Agency) lawsuits showed that the government could appeal to "national security" +to withhold documents. There was no reason to believe that the same excuses +wouldn't be used again to protect the "really good stuff" we wanted. In other +words, they might locate some more, even many more, documents and simply refuse +to release them all or in part for national security reasons. Hence the +Executive Committee did not see much hope that a new lawsuit would produce +hundreds or thousands, or [any], more documents than we already had. + +(b) Had this proposal been sent by someone else we might have been more +favorably disposed toward it. Although proposals to the Fund are evaluated more +in terms of the capability of an investigator than his personality and personal +history, in this case we could not overlook WTZ's actions in the past. Although +he had established himself as a good, persistent investigator of UFO crashes +and government cover-up, his meteoric rise (1976-77) and fall (late 1979) was +well known to all of us. As he admitted in his proposal, his complete obsession +with uncovering the cover-up overpowered his good sense in dealing with other +investigators. When he left the field, some might say "drummed out," he owed +money for phone investigations he had carried out at other people's expense. He +had, to use his phrase in the proposal, "left a few pissed off people in my +wake" when he vanished from the scene in late 1979, having been "burned out." +The Executive Committee felt that the Fund would be condemned by many or most +other researchers if it supported Mr. WTZ in [any] activity. + +(c) WTZ shot himself in the foot by indicating that big money - that's BIG +money - was soon to follow. He wrote in his proposal that he was authoring two +books, one of which would be a hardcover with a "six figure advance...currently +being negotiated." There would also be a feature film budgeted at another six +figure number. He was expecting to submit part of the book to a publisher in 3 +months. The Executive Committee members read this and asked, "if there are +megabucks only a few months away, why does he need us?" + +(d) The fourth and final "killer" reason was bad timing. Perhaps WTZ, not being +active in the field, did not know that in 1985 the Fund had volunteered to put +on the "Fortieth Birthday Party" in the Nation's Capitol. I refer to June 24, +1987 as the 40th anniversary of Arnold's sighting, and the party was the +International MUFON Symposium. The Executive Committee had decided to make this +as international as possible by inviting researchers from all over the world. +We knew that this would take money...more than we could take in "at the door" +from the attendees alone. By the fall of 1986 we were activitely searching for +donations (and beginning to chew our fingernails). We expected to have to raise +some $15,000 or more in donations [beyond] the expected registration fees. By +December, 1986, when we received WTZ's proposal, we had not yet achieved our +goal...[although we had already committed to a number of speakers from +overseas]. Our collective finger nails were getting shorter. + + It was in this context that we evaluated WlZ's proposal to re-sue the CIA +for a "paltry 500 to get the effort rolling," as it says in the AIR. WRONG! Had +it [only] been $500, and if it had been someone other than WTZ, we just [might] +have been interested. However, it wasn't just $500. The suit would have +required an "initial contribution of $500 to cover basic expenses in preparing +the suit" and "once the suit was ready to file...[an additional contribution of +about $2,000 as a retainer for the attorney(s)"] (from WTZ's proposal). There +was no mention of a "diligent attorney who had volunteered to do the legal +work." Since WTZ's time scale was measured in months, we could see that the +$500 right up front would be followed soon by another $2,000, for a total of +$2,500 [that would be needed during the spring/summer of 1987 for his lawsuit]. +Since we were trying to save every penny toward the MUFON Symposium, still 6 +months away, [we weren't about to commit to anything until we had paid for the +symposium]. In other words, we had our own problems with money. Now reread +reason (c) above. The Executive Committee members wondered why he needed a +"paltry" $2,500 from us when, it he waited a few months, he would be [rolling +in dough]. (Note: evidently his book and movie proposals also fell through.) + + As you may well imagine, the combination of these reasons was enough to +cause the Executive Committee vote against the proposal. My "CIA connection" +(reference section (2) above) had nothing to do with the rejection. In fact, I +never discussed his proposal [or any other proposal] with my CIA contacts. +Furthermore, I had no "protective feelings" for the CIA...and I still don't. I +still think they're holding onto something we want and if someone should +propose another lawsuit, then have at it! + + So now you see that the version of this "rejection incident" as reported in +the AIR, where any errors are "unlikely," is a lot of hot air...just as their +claim to investigatorial perfection! + + The Fund's decision not to fund the CIA lawsuit apparently did not sit well +with WTZ. In the draft of his last issue of "For Your Eyes Only" written in +January, 1987 he refers to his offer to "launch a new suit against the CIA, +this time seeking the 15,000 documents that were never scattered throughout the +CIA's files as it contended, but were instead held in one location, as would be +expected if UFOs are considered a serious intelligence target. But it appears +UFOlogists are more concerned with [holding conventions] where everyone can +propose their latest theories and wallow in the comradery of fellow believers, +than they are to get down in the trenches and slug it out with those +responsible for making UFOs a laughing matter and relegating the subject to the +science fiction section." (my emphasis) As the reader will note, this +disparaging reference to "holding conventions" is a low blow; the Fund was +already committed to holding a convention. We didn't have the money to do both, +and we couldn't arbitrarily cancel the convention to support WTZ's speculative +proposal. + + Referring, now, to paragraph (1) above and the research into the MJ-12 +documents, the hot AIR paper says that the Fund "quickly rejected Zechel's +proposal, but later handed $16,000 to Friedman.." It does not point out that +Friedman received support for MJ-12 research [2 1/2 years later], under +conditions that were considerably different from the conditions under which +WTZ's proposal was rejected. The MJ-12 papers, more precisely referred to as +the "Eisenhower Briefing Document," (EIB) were released in the late spring of +1987, just before the 1987 Symposium. Charges and countercharges began flying +around immediately and continued into 1988. In the summer of 1988 the Fund took +a poll of contributers to determine what interested them the most. MJ-12 came +out on top. The Fund then made a public appeal for a $16,000 proposal by Stan +Friedman to try to prove or disprove the validity of the document. We all knew +it was a shot in the dark, but only by dilligent searching of old records could +we hope to learn anything. Everyone who contributed to the special MJ-12 effort +knew exactly what the money was going for. The Fund did not use general funds +over which the community had no control. + + Referring to paragraph (2), above, the writer questions whether or not my +"CIA contacts had any input to this" and suggests that they may have hinted the +MJ-12 documents were real, thus influencing me to "make such a large grant." As +I have stated above, however, the CIA contacts never advised me one way or the +other and never influenced the Fund decisions one way or another. I'll go +farther to say that they never hinted that the MJ-12 documents were real. They +were as puzzled and skeptical as everyone. + + The writer has alledged that I supported MJ-12 research while knowing that +the EIB was a fake. WRONG! I [still] don't know whether it is fake or not, or +whether it might be partially true and partially false. Numerous investigators +have provided circumstantial evidence on both sides of the question. Many of +the "conclusive" arguments against the document have been shown to be ill +conceived. Yet we have yet to find conclusive proof of its reality. + +MORE HOT AIR + + Having discussed...and dispensed with...the two major allegations of this +paper I will now deal with the other allegations. This is done in the Appendix +on an item-specific basis. My discussion of the various items listed there +illustrates the errors in this paper. Without trying to analyze each slanted +word and sentence, and continuing most of my discussion to events, etc., which +are directly connected to me or which I know about, I have found 19 errors of +fact, illogic or innuendo in the self-proclaimed "perfect" paper. One person I +spoke to about this paper pointed out that whenever he gets something like +this, loaded with [ad hominem] attacks and verging on libel and slander, he +automatically assumes that maybe 50% is completely false, 50% is basically +true, and that the true 50% is written in such a way as to make it look bad for +whomever the paper is about. I guess that person hit the nail on the head this +time. + + But what is important now is not this widely circulated paper. The "cat is +now out of the bag" regarding my "CIA association" and from now on I'll +probably be be viewed with suspicion by the more paranoid members of the UFO +community. The important question for the UFO community is how to view the next +AIR paper which may report on items for which there are no independent checks. +As this paper shows, the AIG members are not infallible (far from it!). Hence +readers of any such reports should be prepared to view very skeptically any +further hot AIR reports. + +(P.S. Now re-read the abstract from WTZ's letter to me in 1986 at the beginning +of this paper.) + + APPENDIX + + + To avoid having to virtually retype the AIR, I refer to the items of +interest by listing the page, paragraph and line which contains specific words +of interest and these words are [italicized]. The reader is invited to use the +AIR as a reference for the context of the items and to keep track of the number +of factual errors and inferences presented as fact in order to better assess +the claim that any such errors are "unlikely." Errors are expressly designated +as ERROR followed by a # sign. + + ITEM 1 - pg 1, para. 1, sentence 1: "long standing [secret] relationship +with the CIA and U.S. Intelligence community." Although my first contact with +the CIA was UFO related (see below), my contacts since 1984 have been as a +result of my Navy work. Although I have not publicized this information, WTZ +knew, as did the members of the Fund and various other members of the UFO +community. Hence it has not been a real "secret." If it were, this paper +wouldn't have been written because no one would have known. + + ITEM 2 - pg.1, para. 1, sent. 1: "[briefing them about various UFO matters +and Investigators]." I have discussed UFO matters with several employees who +have expressed an interest in UFOs and have provided them with my opinions on +various cases and people [just as I would with any other persons interested in +the subject including other ufologists, newsmedia reporters, etc]. The use of +the term "briefings" is too formal. Casual discussions or, for groups of +people, informal lunchtime lectures would be more appropriate. The CIA invites +people with many different interests to provide entertainment lectures for the +employees. (I once heard Tom Clancy speak there.) + + ITEM 3 - pg.1, para. 9, sent. 2: "At the same time and for undisclosed +reasons, Maccabee briefed the CIA men on the CIA's own UFO files released under +the Freedom of Information Act." After the 1987 MUFON Symposium in Washington, +D.C., where the MJ-12 papers were discussed publicly for the first time Ron +Pandolfi invited me to give a general lecture to employees on UFOs and MJ-12. I +took the opportunity to inform the CIA men and [women], which included +employees of all "ranks" including secretaries, about "their own documents" +because (hold your breath....here is the formerly [undisclosed reason]) I +wanted them to know what their own employer had been doing. I also wanted to +see what the response would be. After all, CIA documents would, presumably, +have some considerable level of credibility so I tried to make the case for +UFOs based largely on those documents. After that I discussed the MJ-12 papers +in the context of having built a case for UFO reality using the CIA documents. +I learned later what the response was: many of the listeners became interested +in the subject and started snooping around in whatever files they had access +to. Ron said that I created a lot of "spies" in the agency. However, I have no +evidence that anyone found anything not already contained ln the FOIPA document +package. + + ITEM 4: pg.1, para. 5 sent. 1: "Maccabee first [approached] the CIA in early +1979..." (after visiting New Zealand as part of my investigatlon of the world +famous New Zealand Sightings of December, 1978). WRONG! Actually, I never +[approached] the CIA. The CIA contact was made, [not at my request], by a +scientist who worked for the MITRE corporation. (See below) ERROR #1 + + ITEM 5: pg.1, para. 5, sent. 2: "...Maccabee, for [unclear reasons] decided +the film represented some sort of probative evidence of UFOs and [set out to +bring it to the attention of CIA officials]." WRONG! I [never] "set out to +bring it to the attention of CIA officials." My reasons for viewing the New +Zealand sightings as valid evidence may be unclear to the writer, who has +probably never studied them (and quite possibly [couldn't understand the +technical arguments even if he did!]), but they are clear to numerous other +people who have heard the lectures I have given and read the published papers, +including papers in [Applied Optics], a technical journal. The claim that I +[set out] to inform the CIA couldn't be [farther] from the truth. Informing the +CIA had never even crossed my mind. After all, the CIA was the "bad guys" who +had just two months before, been caught with their pants down when they +released hundreds of pages of material. ERROR #2 + + ITEM 6: pg. 1, para. 5 sent. 3: "He then [put out feelers through his +contacts with companies performing tasks for the CIA]..." WRONG! The way this +is presented the reader might assume that the writer (or WTZ) has some +evidence, as, for example, by checking with companies that perform tasks for +the CIA. However, this is a (one of many!) false impression created by the +writer. I never contacted any companies. What I did was tell Jack Acuff, +Director of NICAP at the time, that I would like to speak to experts in the +field of radar. He, in turn, put me in contact with a scientist, Dr. Gordon +MacDonald, at the MITRE corporation. I was invited to discuss the NZ sightings +with him and several other scientists at MITRE in McLean, Va. and I did (and +they generally agreed with my conclusions). Then, a week or so later, I learned +that MacDonald had contacted a man at the CIA who contacted me and offered to +provide technical consultation if I would provide a [briefing] to some CIA +employees. At first I was leery of doing anything with the CIA, but I knew they +had radar experts, so I stipulated that if they would give me some feedback I'd +tell them what I know. So I briefed them and I received some helpful comments. +There were some minor criticisms but no strong disagreements with my analysis. +(I had concluded, by the way, that in certain instances there were correlated +radar-visual observations of unidentified objects.) ERROR #3. + + ITEM 7: pg. 1 para. 7 and pages 2 and 3. This presents the hot AIR version +of my interaction with a CIA employee and his [supposed] statement that there +were "15,000 UFO-related documents." The actual history is as follows: + + After I discussed the NZ case one employee, Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green +(KG), invited me to visit the CIA again a week or so later to have a general +UFO discussion with him and a couple of other employees. It was at this time, +during a discussion of the CIA lawsuit, that he made a general comment that +there [could] be more pages because he knew, from the compartmented +organization of the agency, that other parts of the agency could have +information of which he would not be aware, even though he thought he was the +"custodian" of the UFO files. In other words, [he knew that he would be unaware +of any UFO files that might be possessed by "custodians" in other components of +the Agency]. This all happened in late March and early April, 1979. I knew that +WTZ and Peter Gersten were interested in going after more agency documents, so, +about a month later I revealed my "secret" meeting and KG's comment that there +might be more, perhaps 15,000 more, pages. This I did to support his WTZ's +effort. I don't remember exactly what I said, but, since WTZ recorded my +conversation (without telling me) he can perhaps supply me with a transcript. +Whatever I said, it is clear that WTZ interpreted it as meaning that KG had +said there [were] 15,000 UFO-related documents. Almost immediately WTZ wanted +to know if I would reveal the contact's name, which I didn't. Then he wanted me +to find out if the contact would be willing to testify to the existence of 15, +000 more pages. I called KG and he made it clear that he didn't [know] that +there were thousands more pages. He could only testify to what had been in his +own file, which he had given to the FOIPA coordinator, a thousand pages or so. +All else was speculation. When I told this to WTZ and Gersten they appeared to +get angry and wanted to sue [me] for covering up information. I managed to +convince Gersten that I didn't know anything and that I couldn't force KG to +make any statements that he didn't want to make. That ended the situation. + + ITEM 8: Pg. 2, para. 7: "It was clear from Maccabee's statements to Zechel +that Maccabee intended to cooperate with the CIA on a continuing basis..." +WRONG! I didn't reveal KG's name because I felt it was not my perogative. If +WTZ and Gersten wanted to sue the hell out of the CIA that was their business. +I didn't want to get KG in trouble if there were a lawsuit simply because he +had inadvertently leaked information, [if] it was valid information. I didn't +expect to continue my contact with the CIA and had no further contacts until +1984 (see below). ERROR #4 + + ITEM 9: Pg. 3, para. 2, sent. 2,3 : "At one point Zechel asked him directly, +if he was working for the CIA. [You might say that, Maccabee replied]." I would +like to state that I have never been employed by the CIA nor paid by the CIA. +The hot AIR paper should have pointed out that the context of this statement +was a casual conversation with WTZ. I pointed out that by talking with Ron +Pandolfi or other employees I was providing them with information, and [in that +context] I was "working for" the CIA. I was saving the employees some effort to +learn what they could by themselves by other means. However, I didn't tell them +everything. In other words, I have withheld information from Ron and others. I +never mentioned WTZ's proposal to re-sue the agency, for example. + + Regarding my employment, I might add that, although I am a civilian employee +of the Navy, I have never been in Naval Intelligence or any intelligence +agency. Nor have I been advised in any way related to UFO research activities +by any agency of the government except that the laboratory where I work has +said "keep our name out of it." + + ITEM 10: pg. 3, para. 2, sent. 4 : "In [April 1990], however, Maccabee began +to back-pedal on what he'd been told by the UFO files custodian in 1979.....In +this version the CIA man had merely been speculating about the totality of the +CIA's collection, judging by the one or two thousand he had control over." +WRONG! Evidently WTZ has "conveniently" (because it makes a better story?) +forgotten that the "back pedalling" had all occurred in [May, 1979] . For the +reader who doesn't know who is telling the truth I ask whether or not you think +that WTZ would have failed to pursue this point (i.e., are there 15,000 +documents or aren't there?) in the spring of 1979 when the subject was +hot...[he needed to know whether or not there were thousands more pages for the +next lawsuit]. I submit that WTZ did the logical thing in 1979 and asked me at +that time to clarify the situation: was my contact aware, or wasn't he aware, +of "15,000" pages? The writer's indication that this "back-pedaling" didn't +take place until 1990 is part of the poor investigation evident in this paper. +ERROR #5 + + The AIR paper continues in the next several paragraphs to build an argument +which the writer portrays as logical (the "custodian" should know how many +documents there are). However, the truth or falsity of the claim that there are +thousands more pages of UFO documents cannot be determined from the information +I was given. The simple fact is that, because of the compartmented nature of +the CIA (and other intelligence agencies), [it may be that no one who knows how +many pages there are]. + + ITEM 11: pg. 3, para. 7, sent. 3: "Green was awarded the CIA's National +Intelligence Medal for his work on a "classified project" from 1979 to 1983 +[precisely the years in which Maccabee was meeting with him at CIA +headquarters]." WRONG! (Way to go, Kit!) It appears that the writer/WTZ is +trying to imply that the "classified project" was related to UFO research and +my contacts. I don't know what the "classified project" was, but I do know it +had nothing to do with my contacts from 1979 to 1983 because [there weren't +any]. After that last meeting with KG in the spring of 1979 I didn't see him +again and had no contact with the agency until June, 1984 when I was contacted +by Dr. Ronald Pandolfi regarding my Navy work. He had been tracking +developments by the "other side" in that field of research and wanted to know +what the US state of the art was. ERROR #6 + + During my first meeting with Ron we discussed my Navy research. I didn't +mention my previous visit to the Agency 5 years before, nor did I mention +anything about UFOs because I didn't want him to think I was "nuts." However, I +subsequently learned that he discussed my visit with someone who did remember, +because soon afterward I got a phone call in which he brought up my UFO +interest. I didn't quite know how to take this and approached the situation +with some caution. So, over the next few years, when we met to discuss LIS +research and projects we would occasionally also discuss UFO cases I was +working on and ufology in general. There were several people who were mildly +interested in the subject, but none, to my knowledge, was actively involved in +research. In the summer 1987 after the release of the MJ-12 papers and the +MUFON International Symposium in Washington, DC, where the MJ-12 papers were +discussed publicly for the first time Ron asked if I would be willing to give a +lunchtime talk at the CIA. That sounded amusing, so I said yes. My talk to +all-comers, secretaries, messenger boys, researchers and spies (?), centered +around the papers which the CIA had itself released, and, of course, the +already controversial MJ-12 papers. Although I gained no new information, Ron +said that I created a lot of "spies" in the Agency, as everyone tried to find +documents on their own. (Clearly most of the employees were not familiar with +the UFO phenomenon in general and the CIA documents in particular.) +Subsequently I spoke there in 1990 about the Gulf Breeze sightings and most +recently about a magnetic case that occurred in Gulf Breeze last September +(1992). In each case I presented lectures that I had already given to other +audiences. The most recent lecture was a repeat of my presentation of the +magnetic case at the April, 1993, meeting of the American Physical Society in +Washington, DC. + + ITEM 12: pg. 4, para. 3., last sentence: "[..Bill Moore's best known +creation--the MJ-12 hoax]." WRONG! It is my belief, having known Bill and +having known about his investigative approach for more than 13 years, that the +suggestion that Bill faked the MJ-12 papers (EIB) is [extremely hot air]. WTZ +has his own reasons for claiming that Moore faked the document. Part of WTZ's +"hidden agenda" (hinted at in the paper) is to discredit the Roswell/Corona +crash and the MJ-12 papers in order to build up his own baby, the Dec. (5,6,7 - +pick a date), 1950 Texas-Mexico border crash (see pg. 7, para. 1,2, of the AIR +report). [There is no evidence that Bill Moore created the MJ-l2 documents. If +they are a hoax, it is not his fault]. ERROR #7 + + NOTE: THE ASSERTION THAT MOORE CREATED THE EIB/MJ-12 PAPERS LEADS TO NUMEROUS +OTHER ERRORS IN THE PAGES FOLLOWING PG. 4. I HAVE NOT ENUMERATED THEM. + + ITEM 13: last sentence at the bottom of page 4: "There are probably +thousands of people all over the country suffering from the same sort of +[paranoid delusions] as Paul Bennewitz."

Presumably the AIG members are others. + + ITEM 14: pg. 5, para. 3, sent. 4: "In fact, Moore told Todd Zechel in early +1980 that "I'll bet you've heard that you can't [make money off UFOs?] Well, I +proved that wrong!" For WTZ to accuse BM of trying to make some money off UFOs +is like the pot calling the kettle black. WTZ has established a track record of +grand schemes to make movies and books that would lead to BIG BUX. + + ITEM 15: pg. 6, para. 8, sent. 2: "[Quickly] Moore set about circulating +this material.." WRONG! The EIB was received in late December, 1984. Bill and +Jamie told only a couple of people about the EIB over the next couple of years +and did not generally release it until after it was published by Timothy Good +in England in the late spring of 1987, [three and a half years later]. ERROR #8 + + ITEM 16: pg. 8, para 1, sent. 1: "...[thanks' to Maccabee's influence] ..." +WRONG! Here the writer implies that I had some influence on how Whitley +Streiber in MAJESTIC and how Howard Blum in [OUT THERE] portrayed Moore and +Doty. WHAT AMAZING GARBAGE. Sure I knew Whitley, but I had no involvement with +his book. He met Moore on his own and formed his own opinion, I presume. As for +Blum, I never had a discussion or contact with him before his book came out [or +since]. Hence I could not have influenced him. ERROR #9 + + ITEM 17: Pg. 8, para. 5, sent. 2,3: "How much involvement did he have in +spreading the MJ-12 hoax? How much influence did Ron Pandolfi have over his +conduct during this whole affair?"

Answer 2: NONE. + + ITEM 18: pg. 8, para. 6, sent. 2: (referring to my paper "UFO Landings near +Kirtland AFB or Welcome to the Cosmic Watergate") The report was [co-authored +by Bill Moore]. WRONG! I wrote the whole report based on my investigation. +Afterward I sent it to Bill and asked him to write an addendum outlining what +he knew. He did so. The title page of the report, which anyone can obtain from +the Fund for UFO Research, reads "(the above title) by Bruce Maccabee with +comments by Bill Moore." Bill's input to the paper is confined to the "notes" +on pages 29 and 30 of the 30 page report. I made no changes in my text as a +result of Bill's notes.

ERROR +#10. + + ITEM 19: pg. 8, para. 6., sent. 4: "A careful examination of the +circumstances surrounding the documents ([and Maccabee's own report]) clearly +shows that the document is a fraud created by Doty." WRONG! There is no +evidence that it is a fraud. Furthermore, there is testimony by people +mentioned in the report which indicates that it actually happened. In +particular, Maj. Ernest Edwards confirmed the details about the sightings of +the Manzano Guards, but, unfortunately, too late for me to include this in my +paper. If the writer has any conclusive evidence that it is a fraud, as opposed +to [innuendo and "wishful thinking"] (he hopes it is a fraud because it makes +his story better), then I would like to see it.

Although W. Todd Zechel told me on the telephone that he had no +control over some of the content of AIR#1, and that there is primarily one +other person responsible for it, I agree that the paper bears all the earmarks +of Zechel's work and clearly is a reiteration of his past writings. If there is +another primary author, aside from being a total coward he or she apparently +doesn't have an original thought in his or her head. I shall call him or her +"Air-Head." + + It must be emphasized that, other than Zechel's obvious role in it, the +paper is totally anonymous and the list of alleged AIR members is totally +fictitious. None of the people attacked personally in the paper or (like the +Fund for UFO Research) smeared by it were afforded any opportunity to reply to +the allegations in advance, nor is there an official author or address to which +a rebuttal can be sent. The paper is full of half-truths, innuendo, and totally +false statements. Nevertheless, it has been widely circulated with obvious +intent to do harm to Bruce Maccabee and/or the Fund and so we must reply. The +fund is preparing its own separate statement, but I wish to go on record as +stating that I have known Bruce Maccabee for over 25 years and have no reason +to doubt his personal integrity. We disagree about the merits of some UFO cases +that he has worked on, but disagreement and dialogue among colleagues is part +of the scientific method. There is nothing devious or "evil" about the +positions Bruce takes on a given case, despite insinuations by Air-Head. His +position may be mistaken in sole respects or even wrong, but who among us is +perfect? He also may be right. That is for scientific research to determine. + + Bruce is absolutely correct in stating that the Fund never has had a +clandestine relationship or any other with the CIA, and it never will as long +as I am Chairman. There is at worst "an appearance of impropriety" for Bruce, +as past Chairman, to have given talks or information to parties in CIA, which +he did as a private individual. When he mentioned some of his meetings with CIA +people to us over the years, we cautioned him that it could cause a problem. +However, I find his explanation of what his relationships were with some CIA +personnel to be entirely credible and they had virtually nothing to do with the +Fund. + + At no time did the CIA have any influence over any decisions made by the +Executive Committee or National Board of the Fund. Suggestions by Air-Head to +the contrary do border on paranoia. As he points out, Bruce had only one vote +and in fact some of his ideas were voted down (some of mine have been voted +down too). For any decision by the Fund to support any given project or to take +any particular action, there is joint responsibility by the Executive Committee +and, for major funding decisions or other fundamentally important matters, by +the full 15-member National Board. The Board members are independent-minded +people whose names and track records are known, not "tools of the CIA." + + Finally, Bruce Maccabee served honorably as Chairman for 13 years +providing important leadership to the Fund, and remains a respected member of +the National Board.

Yes, I have a copy of the "AIR" +Report. They sent me one, believe it or not (post-marked, by the way, "Suburban +MD MSC 206," which translates to somewhere in Prince George's County). +Apparently I'm the only principal to have received one directly from the +source. Interesting. + +There is no doubt that Todd Zechel figures heavily in this thing, although he +apparently chooses to deny having actually written it. His words reportedly +were, "I didn't write it, but of course I can't be responsible for what others +may do with information I provide them." Certainly we are dealing with some +sort of vendetta group here, and if I had to guess at the membership aside from +Zechel himself, I would finger an unholy alliance of the usual Zechel gadflys +with perhaps a couple of naive newcomers. Anyone who's been around the UFO +community for any lenqth of time knows the type of people he prefers to +associate with. Naming them would only give them more notoriety than they +deserve. Stylistically speaking, the writing resembles that of Zechel more than +anyone else. + +As for the accuracy of the piece at least insofar as the material about me is +concerned what few things the writer does have right are taken so badly out of +context or so heavily embellished with outright fabrication, invective and +innuendo that it's hardly worth my time to comment. Certainly I have never +claimed (or "confessed" to be "a government disinformation agent." (A tran- +script of my 1989 Las Vegas speech is available from me in case anyone wants to +read my exact words.) Certainly I did not "create" the MJ-12 papers! As far +as I know, Rick Doty never attempted to make "big money" or in fact any money +at all "by concocting phoney UFO stories." And if money and greed are my +motives, why am I always on the edge of poverty? (Anyone who thinks money is +my God simply doesn't know me very well.) + +In addition, the writer confuses the matter of the so-called Carter Briefing +Documents (the ones I photographed in a motel room) with the Eisenhower +Briefing Document. This is all set out in 'The MJ-12 Documents: An Analytical +Report' which the writer gives no indication of having read. + +Equally confused is the account of Rick Doty's involvement with the Kirtland +documents, a matter which is also set forth in detail in my above referenced +'MJ-12 Report'. Furthermore, to the best of my knowledge, Doty has never +offered to sell either information or documents on UFOs to anyone. Indeed, +during the thirteen years I have known him, Rick has never expressed any +interest in receiving money for anything, and on the couple of occasions when +money was offered (just to see what the reaction would be) it was quickly +declined with a wave of the hand. Nor, for my part, did I ever accept any +money for my own involvement. + +I do not know whether Rick Doty ever slept with Linda Howe or not, and frankly +I do not care! I do know that I have never discussed any such allegation with +Ms. Howe. Furthermore, the HOT-AIR Report's assertion that "up to this point, +Howe had never in her life spoken with Moore" is untrue. I first met and had a +fairly long conversation with Linda in mid-1980, six months before my +involvement with the Bennewitz affair and several years before the time frame +outlined in the so-called Report! + +There's a lot of other stuff as well, but why bother? To have me bragging to +Zechel, in early 1980 (!), about making lots of money off UFOs, is ridiculous. +Hell's bells-- the sum total of my contribution to ufology at that point was +perhaps half-a-dozen pulp magazine articles. Yes, I had made some money off the +Phil/Ex book, but that wasn't really a UFO book. Strangely enough, that meeting +marked the only time I have ever met Zechel face-to-face, and Maccabee was +present. I knew something of Zechel's curious reputation even at that early +date, and as a result I said damn little about anything at that meeting. (It +seems to me that he was living in a flea-bag hotel and working as a clerk at Le +Sexe Shoppe, a sleazy Hollywood porn palace, at the time.) I wonder if his +flawless memory can recall where we met and what the circumstances were. I can. + +In summary, I view the HOT-AIR Report as nothing more than the product of +seriously twisted minds who have banded together out of sheer desperation in +order to attempt one last hurrah. The reason Zechel is a nobody today has +nothing to do with me or anything I might have done. The cess pool he wallows +in is entirely the product of his own profligacy. How sad that people who have +descended to such depths so frequently believe that the only way they can make +themselves look good is to make others look bad. Even the Nazis used the +technique, although it is now widely accepted that heavy use of amphetamines +was responsible for at least some of Hitler's erratic behavior. I wonder what +drugs Mr. Zechel is doing nowadays??? + +In any case, HOT-AIR is clearly nothing more than a hatchet job effort by +individuals inimical to Maccabee and myself. Ufology has always been hesitant +to give credence to anonymous sources.

There was no return address on +the envelope, and the members listed on the back were all +pseudonyms. Some of the pseudonyms were fairly easy to figure +out, some were not. However the report itself was extremely +inflammatory. The first paragraph read; "One of the nation's +leading sponsors of UFO research and investigation, the Fund for +UFO Research, has had a long-standing secret relationship with +the CIA and the U.S. Intelligence community. Dr. Bruce Maccabee, +an optics and laser specialist with the Naval Surface Weapons +Laboratory near Washington, DC, one of the Fund's founders and +member of the group's Executive Committee, has been secretly +meeting with CIA officials since 1979, briefing them about +various UFO matters and investigators." + +*UFO Magazine immediately called the Fund for UFO Research +Chairman Richard Hall to get the Funds stance on these +allegations. Hall right off stated that he had just spoken with +Todd Zechel, one of the primary accuser's alleging CIA +connections with the Fund and Dr. Maccabee. Zechel denied being +the sole author of the document, but according to Richard Hall, +refused to name the other authors. + +Hall stated when asked that the Fund was aware of contacts that +Maccabee had within Central Intelligence, but had not been aware +of any extensive relationships. When asked by Hall if he felt +there may be other "moles" in the Fund for UFO Research he stated +"No I don't and I have to say that I think this has a potential +to be over blown. All we are dealing with here are some fairly +major indiscretions by Bruce Maccabee." When asked if Hall +thought Maccabee would have reported back to the Agency on +persons in the field he said "I have no way of knowing, is the +honest answer, but I sort of doubt it because my reading of his +personality and character". "In 1979 Bruce went to New Zealand +for, I think it was NICAP, it wasn't for the Fund, and when he +came back he told us that he had briefed some people at CIA on +the case. As the years went by Bruce said he had talked to CIA +people and had contacts over there. When it became obvious that +they were ongoing things several members of the board met with +Bruce and told him this wasn't right, we can't have you going +over there and talking privately with those people. We are +dedicated to the position of getting information out on this +subject and this will look bad, you can't do it. We told him this +could backfire on the Fund, we had no idea of how deeply involved +he was." + +According to the document from the ASSOCIATED INVESTIGATORS +report, and from Richard Hall, the point man at CIA that Maccabee +knew was Roland "Ron" Pandolfi, Directorate of Science and +Technology. Hall stated that "making some inquiries of my own, he +(Pandolfi) is notorious for dealing with a whole bunch of people +in the field. He is probably dealing disinformation in the +field." + +Hall then stated for the record that because of many of +Maccabee's favorable statements about the Gulf Breeze case, the +Fund was unable to do any balanced presentation of negative +information about the case because the Fund had asked several +people to report on it and they refused because of reservations +about Maccabee. + +Maccabee recently vacated the Chairmanship of the Fund for UFO +Research when Richard Hall took over. Maccabee is still a member +on the Board. + +Todd Zechel was next contacted. When asked what initiated the +release of the ASSOCIATED INVESTIGATORS REPORT, Zechel said the +report was done because Maccabee was found to have briefed CIA in +Langley on May 28th, 1993. The briefing was, according to Zechel +on "residual magnetic effects found in the Gulf Breeze incident." + +Zechel stated "I knew Bruce quite well in the seventies. I got +started in the field in 1976 and I always respected and admired +him because he seemed to be a very responsible scientist. He was +very cautious and not making outrageous pronouncements." "One of +the concerns we had with all this is was that Maccabee felt more +loyalty to the CIA than he did to his friends at the Fund." +Zechel was then asked why the names listed on the report were all +pseudonyms and not the actual persons involved. He said "The +basic reason is stated in the last page of the report. There are +several confidential investigation going on, and when they are +completed the people will then be identified." Zechel then said +that "I may as well put my name on it since I will be blamed for +it anyway." + +"One of the inferences that you can draw from the situation is +that before 1979 was quite cautious, seemingly afraid that he +might loose his government classified research job, and after +1979 when he began meeting with the CIA he seemed to abandon all +those cautions, and got involved with a lot of things that +seemingly going up against the government. Being one of the lead +sponsors of the MJ-12 investigation. If MJ-12 was legitimate, +which I don't believe it was, then Maccabee was certainly taking +a number of risks with his security clearance. The fact that +nothing happened to him obviously indicates that no one was +displeased with what he was doing." + +One of the main points Zechel presented concerned the aftermath +of Maccabee's New Zealand trip, and his briefing at CIA. Maccabee +told Zechel on the record that he had met the CIA's custodian of +the UFO files. Zechel states he has Maccabee telling him on audio +tape that this unnamed CIA officer had told him (Maccabee) that +the Agency had over 15,000 UFO documents. Zechel had brought this +point up twice as he told *UFO "This was a critical point because +we were in the middle of litigation with the CIA and we were +trying to prove the CIA had lied to the court, and lied about +their search (for records). Obviously this was a major crime if +they have filed all sorts of affidavits to the U.S. District +Court swearing that their total files consisted on only about +1,000 documents." + +The contact at CIA that Maccabee had that purportedly told him +about the 15,000 documents was Dr. Christopher C. "Kit" Green. +Green is now reportedly chief of Biomedical Sciences Dept. at +General Motors. His replacement at CIA is now Roland "Ron" +Pandolfi in the Directorate of Science & Technology. + +Later Zechel said that while speaking to Maccabee he asked him if +he were working for the CIA. According to Zechel Maccabee stated +"You might say that." Zechel said that with Maccabee's background +he was recruited by the CIA to work on classified national +defense work involving "Star Wars". This in would fit into normal +governmental contract work given Maccabee's background in optical +physics and his expertise. + +Zechel was asked about the allegation in the AIG report that +Maccabee was identified as a member of the infamous "Aviary" (Sea +Gull) of UFO researcher William Moore. When asked how this was +verified Zechel stated "It was verified through him (Maccabee) to +me within the last month. (July 1993) He talked about receiving a +form message from Bill (Moore) in which Moore had sent a memo out +to the Aviary that U.K. researcher Armen Victorian was doing an +investigation on the "birds", and the memo stated to not worry +about it, no one was worried about being exposed. Maccabee told +me that it was funny that Moore said no one was afraid of being +exposed, no one asked him, and he was afraid of being exposed!" + +*UFO then called Dr. Maccabee. Maccabee was told that *UFO had +called Richard Hall at the Fund, and that Hall had verified that +the Fund was aware of his involvement with the CIA since 1979, +and that Hall had told Maccabee that they were afraid that if +this was publicly known it could reflect back on the Fund. +Maccabee stated that "I have a professional relationship in the +sense of what I do, and in particular I was working on lasers, +and I became of interest to them in 1984. This UFO stuff came up +as topics of mutual interest. This paper (AIG) misrepresents +things and that is one of many things." Maccabee was asked if he +did contact CIA in 1979. Maccabee stated he did brief CIA on his +New Zealand investigation. However Maccabee stated that the +report was wrong about him contacting CIA. "Coming back from New +Zealand, I had looked for help in my analysis, or for people to +review what I had done in terms of the radar aspects of the New +Zealand case. I had told Jack Acuff of NICAP I would be +interested in technical experts in radar. I learned from Jack +there was a scientist with major credentials with a corporation. +He had become aware of NICAP because of sonic booms, like sky +quakes, which were taking place at the time (in the late +seventies, after the Concord starting flying.) People were +phoning in reports about these booms, and were seeing lights in +the sky. The scientific community got interested, and the guy I +ended up talking to, Gordon MacDonald, decided to do an +investigation with the Naval Research Laboratory, and they found +to their dismay that most of the information that is available is +in the files of UFO groups. So they contacted NICAP among others +for information, so that is how MacDonald got in touch with NICAP +and Jack Acuff. When the New Zealand case came along, I was given +this guy MacDonald. I met with him and he agreed with some of my +conclusions and offered a couple of suggestions. About a week or +so later, he called and asked if I would like to brief some +people at the CIA where they had other radar experts. I said ok, +and then a guy from the CIA called up and invited me to come +over. Apparently MacDonald had contacted the CIA on his own. So, +here on this report (AIG) is a paragraph which is written in a +slanted and fabricated manner." + +Maccabee was asked if it were true that after the New Zealand +briefing he was taken aside by a CIA official and reveled to him +that this man was custodian of UFO files, and that these files +consisted of close to 15,000 documents, and then later on at some +point he (Maccabee) later retreated from that statement. He said +"Yes there is" and then he was asked if it were Dr. "Kit" Green, +Maccabee said yes but he never mentioned the name. "Zechel found +that out on his own." + +"After the briefing, this Green asked me if I would come back and +we can talk about the UFO situation in general. I was interested +knowing that the government and CIA had just coughed up a bunch +of documents, and he may have wanted to talk about the subject +for his own reasons whatever they were. I went back again and +sometime in the conversation we got into the documents. From what +I recall and I do not recall it specifically, Green probably said +there were many more documents, maybe as many as 15,000 +documents. At any rate what is left out of this (AIG report) is +what happened afterwards. I told Zechel about that because I knew +he was dealing with that lawsuit. I thought he should know there +might be more documents. I did not know of Zechel's independent +information. Zechel had a covert source of his own. Plus, Gersten +(Zechels attorney) had been led to believe by the CIA attorney +there might be 10,000 pages." Maccabee stated then that in +conversations with Green, Green told him that he personally only +personally had approx. 1,000 documents. + +Maccabee's denial to Robert Hastings occurred in 1979 as opposed +to the AIG report which states 1990. Maccabee stated "As far as a +denial to Hastings, he had no need to know what I was doing 7 or +8 years beforehand. I was not about to spread it around, and it +is very possible I denied it, I do not remember." + +When asked how with his job and security level, and with his +public and private UFO interest, how could he continue with his +UFO investigations and not be censored and not suffer the +consequences that others in government service have suffered with +a public UFO interest. Larry Bryant was one example offered. +Maccabee said "I just played it cool, Larry did not play it as +cool. He started sending around paid advertisements to armed +service newspapers, and when some of them wouldn't publish his +stuff he got mad and sued them and stirred up a big stink." "I +never knowingly passed any disinformation, nor was I given any +information or disinformation to pass." + +Maccabee was then asked if it were true that as late as May 28th, +1993 if he had once again briefed interested parties at CIA on +the magnetic effects of the Gulf Breeze case and he answered +"yes". Maccabee was asked if he had passed on information to CIA +on any cases or personalities in the research community. "What I +have done is talk to people that are interested in the subject on +material that they could get elsewhere. At one time they were +interested in tracking what was on bulletin boards (computer), +with Lear and Cooper (Milton) and all that. I did not tell them +anything that was not in the open literature. The Gulf Breeze +briefing is a case in point, it was a lunch time talk, anyone +could come to it, +secretaries, street sweepers or the heads of covert departments, +whatever. I did not know who showed up. CIA invites lots of +people on lots of subjects and they will talk to people that are +interested in those subjects. I been there a couple of times just +like it said in this paper." + +Maccabee then stated that another misrepresentation in the AIG +document concerned the years from 1979 to 1983. The paper states +that Maccabee had a continuous and ongoing relationship with CIA. +"FALSE" he stated. After the spring of 1979 I did not have ANY +dealings with CIA until after 1983. In 1984 I was contacted by +Pandolfi in regards to my work. I was asked to come over and give +a briefing on my work which I did. Nothing about UFOs. I do not +talk about UFOs unless the person I am talking to is amenable to +it." After Maccabee gave the presentation on his work, he said +that Pandolfi asked him about his 1979 presentation on New +Zealand. "I couldn't deny it" Maccabee said, and "after that we +got into conversations on the subject". + +"The implication of this document" said Maccabee, "is that I had +continuous and ongoing relations with the CIA all the way through +and that I was supplying information to the CIA on UFO stuff for +years and years. This is not true." + +The one area where Maccabee was not open concerned the question +about his being SEA GULL in William Moores aviary. Maccabee +claimed he did not know if he were SEA GULL. When asked if he had +received any documents addressed to SEA GULL he maintained he did +not know. + +After conducting a number of interviews, I do not think there was +any malicious intent on Maccabees part, but without a doubt some +poor judgment. Walt Andrus was contacted to see if MUFON had any +position on this. Andrus said that MUFONs position was "It is not +a crime to talk to the CIA, after all they are a part of America +to." Without a doubt they are, however after almost 50 years of +lies and deceit where the UFO subject comes in, and considering +historical events like the Robertson Panel, it is time for the +government to come clean with the information on hand. There is a +phenomenon, it has apparently interacted with human-kind for +years. Agencies like CIA have hidden behind national security +with information on UFOs, while claiming that UFOs do not +threaten national security.

It +was a second story apartment, and just below me lived a wonderful +retired couple, Walter Zechel and his wife. I got to know Walt +pretty good; he remains to this day one of the kindest people +I've ever met. He was retired from the Badger Army Ammunition +plant, located between PDS and Baraboo, and to make ends meet, he +did routine maintenance around the apartment complex, for which +he got $5 per hour and the apartment he lived in. + +I often went fishing with Walt, and got to hear much about his +children. In spite of the long talks we had, however, the first +I knew he had a son named Todd is when Todd himself showed up at +Walt's door about 11 pm one night, with a suitcase, an old manual +typewriter, and not much else. That would have been sometime +around June of 1986 or so, if I recall the date correctly. It +was before my divorce was final, in August of 1986; I'm guessing +as to the specific month. Todd had lost just about everything he +owned in some unnamed disaster, and came to live with Mommy and +Daddy until "things got better". + +It was the only time, before or since, I ever heard Walt yell, +about anything. + +The reason I hadn't heard anything until then about son Todd was +that Todd, according to Walt and later confirmed by Todd himself, +had never once held down a regular job for any length of time. +He had always aspired to being an author, or I should say, +Author. I knew about his involvement with UFO's, since it was +one of the few topics Todd would be fairly straightforward about. + +During the months Todd stayed with his parents, he held exactly +one job, and then only when Walt threatened to have the cops come +and move him out. He took a "telemarketing" job, which he held +for something like two days, when he was fired. Walt told me it +was because of alcohol use on the job, though I don't have +anything more than circumstantial proof of that. I do know that +Todd would drink, sometimes to excess, when he could get someone +to give him some money; he used to sit at one of the local +taverns, introducing himself as an Author, but when you'd ask +what books he'd written, he'd go on about how they're under +pseudonyms, and he didn't want to cite actual titles since he +didn't want a lot of personal publicity, or to have to autograph +books when he was in town largely "on sabbatical". + +He spent most of that time working on a book, or so he said; I +used to hear typing from downstairs for hours on end. His +parents reluctantly allowed him to stay during that period of +time, with the provision that when he submitted his book and got +paid, he'd leave. I also know that he was caught by Walt on at +least one occasion with one of his mother's books, copying page +after page out of it, not in any act of plagiarism, but to give +the impression that he was, indeed, writing a book, when all the +typing was just noise. + +Todd may have done some solid work early in his life, in +investigating the UFO phenomena, but after meeting him and +getting to know him for a few months, I'm not very inclined to +take him seriously, or to grant him any credibility regarding his +more recent investigations. He was a sorry picture of a man +then, who frequently tried to characterize himself as a man of +some importance while not providing any information with which +someone could verify his status. To coin a phrase, he was "full +of Hot Air". (G) + +Regards, + +Mark R. Harris + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Introduction + + One wag has dubbed the problem "Terra and the Pirates." + The pirates, ostensibly, are marauders from another solar system; their +victims include a growing number of troubled human beings who insist that +they've been shanghaied by these otherworldly visitors. An outlandish +scenario -- yet through the works of such authors as Budd Hopkins[1] and +Whitley Strieber[2], the "alien abduction" syndrome has seized the public +imagination. Indeed, tales of UFO contact threaten to lapse into fashion- +ability, even though, as I have elsewhere noted[3], they may still inflict a +formidable social price upon the claimant. + Some time ago, I began to research these claims, concentrating my studies +on the social and political environment surrounding these events. As I +studied, the project grew and its scope widened. Indeed, I began to feel as +though I'd gone digging through familiar terrain only to unearth Gomorrah. + These excavations may have disgorged a solution. + + +THE PROBLEM + + Among ufologists, the term "abduction" has come to refer to an infinitely- +confounding experience, or matrix of experiences, shared by a dizzying number +of individuals, who claim that travellers from the stars have scooped them out +of their beds, or snatched them from their cars, and subjected them to +interrogations, quasi-medical examinations, and "instruction" periods. +Usually, these sessions are said to occur within alien spacecraft; frequently, +the stories include terrifying details reminiscent of the tortures inflicted +in Germany's death camps. The abductees often (though not always) lose all +memory of these events; they find themselves back in their cars or beds, +unable to account for hours of "missing time." Hypnosis, or some other +trigger, can bring back these haunted hours in an explosion of recollection -- +and as the smoke clears, an abductee will often spot a trail of similar +experiences, stretching all the way back to childhood. + Perhaps the oddest fact of these odd tales: Many abductees, for all their +vividly-recollected agonies, claim to love their alien tormentors. That's +the word I've heard repeatedly: love. + Within the community of "scientific ufologists" -- those lonely, all-too +little-heard advocates of reasonable and open-minded debate on matters +saucerological -- these claims have elicited cautious interest and a commend- +able restraint from conclusion-hopping. Outside the higher realms of +scientific ufology, the situation is, alas, quite different. In the popular +press, in both the "straight" and sensationalist media, within that +journalistic realm where issues are defined and public opinion solidified +(despite a frequently superficial approach to matters of evidence and +investigation) abduction scenarios have elicited two basic reactions: that +of the Believer and the Skeptic. + The Believers -- and here we should note that "Believers" and "abductees" +are two groups whose memberships overlap but are in no way congruent -- +accept such stories at face value. They accept, despite the seeming +absurdity of these tales, the internal contradictions, the askew logic of +narrative construction, the severe discontinuity of emotional response to the +actions described. The Believers believe, despite reports that their beloved +"space brothers" use vile and inhuman tactics of medical examination -- +senseless procedures most of us (and certainly the vanguard of an advanced +race) would be ashamed to inflict on an animal. The Believers believe, +despite the difficulty of reconciling these unsettling tales with their own +deliriums of benevolent off-worlders. + Occasionally, the rough notes of a rationalization are offered: "The +aliens don't know what they are doing," we hear; or "Some aliens are bad." +Yet the Believers confound their own reasoning when they insist on ascribing +the wisdom of the ages and the beneficence of the angels to their beloved +visitors. The aliens allegedly know enough about our society to go about +their business undetected by the local authorities and the general public; +they communicate with the abductees in human tongue; they concern themselves +with details of the percipients' innermost lives -- yet they remain so +ignorant of our culture as to be unaware of the basic moral precepts concerning +the dignity of the individual and the right to self-determination. Such +dichotomies don't bother the Believers; they are the faithful, and faith is +assumed to have its mysteries. SANCTA SIMPLICITAS. + Conversely, the Skeptics dismiss these stories out of hand. They dismiss, +despite the intriguing confirmatory details: the multiple witness events, +the physical traces left by the ufonauts, the scars and implants left on the +abductees. The skeptics scoff, though the abductees tell stories similar in +detail -- even certain tiny details, not known to the general public. + Philip Klass is a debunker who, through his appearances on such television +programs as NOVA and NIGHTLINE, has been in a position to affect much of the +public debate on UFOs. In his interesting but poorly-documented work on +abductions[4], Klass claims that "abduction" is a psychological disease, +spread by those who write about it. This argument exactly resembles the +professional press-basher's frequent assertion that terrorism metastasizes +through media exposure. Yet for all the millions of words expectorated by +newsfolk on the subject of terrorism, terrorist actions remain quite rare, +as any statistician (though few politicians) will admit, and verifiable +linkage between crimes and their coverage remains to be found. For that +matter, there have been books -- bestsellers, even -- on unicorns and gnomes. +People who claim to see those creatures are few. Abductees are plentiful. + Both Believer and Skeptic, in my opinion, miss the real story. Both make +the same mistake: They connect the abduction phenomenon to the forty-year +history of UFO sightings, and they apply their prejudices about the latter +to the controversy about the former. + At first sight, the link seems natural. Shouldn't our thoughts about +UFOs color our thoughts about UFO abductions? + NO. + They may well be separate issues. Or, rather, they are connected only +in this: The myth of the UFO has provided an effective cover story for an +entirely different sort of mystery. Remove yourself from the Believer/Skeptic +dialectic, and you will see the third alternative. + As we examine this alternative, we will, of necessity, stray far from the +saucers. We must turn our face from the paranormal and concentrate on the +occult -- if, by "occult," we mean SECRET. + I posit that the abductees HAVE been abducted. Yet they are also spewing +fantasy -- or, more precisely, they have been given a set of lies to repeat +and believe. If my hypothesis proves true, then we must accept the following: +The kidnapping is real. The fear is real. The pain is real. The instruction +is real. But the little grey men from Zeti Reticuli are NOT real; they are +constructs, Halloween masks meant to disguise the real faces of the con- +trollers. The abductors may not be visitors from Beyond; rather, they may be +a symptom of the carcinoma which blackens our body politic. + The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves. + + +THE HYPOTHESIS + + Substantial evidence exists linking members of this country's intelligence +community (including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Advanvced +Research Projects Agency, and the Office of Naval Intelligence) with the +esoteric technology of MIND CONTROL. For decades, "spy-chiatrists" working +behind the scenes -- on college campuses, in CIA-sponsored institutes, and +(most heinously) in prisons -- have experimented with the erasure of memory, +hypnotic resistance to torture, truth serums, post-hypnotic suggestion, rapid +induction of hypnosis, electronic stimulation of the brain, non-ionizing +radiation, microwave induction of intracerebral "voices," and a host of even +more disturbing technologies. Some of the projects exploring these areas were +ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, PANDORA, MKDELTA, MKSEARCH and the infamous MKULTRA. + I have read nearly every available book on these projects, as well as the +relevant congressional testimony[5]. I have also spent much time in university +libraries researching relevant articles, contacting other researchers (who have +graciously allowed me access to their files), and conducting interviews. +Moreover, I traveled to Washington, DC to review the files John Marks compiled +when he wrote THE SEARCH FOR "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"[6]. These files +include some 20,000 pages of CIA and Defense Department documents, interviews, +scientific articles, letters, etc. The views presented here are the result of +extensive and ongoing research. + As a result of this research, I have come to the following conclusions: + 1. Although misleading (and occasionally perjured) testimony before +Congress indicated that the CIA's "brainwashing" efforts met with little +success[7], striking advances were, in fact, made in this field. As CIA +veteran Miles Copeland once admitted to a reporter, "The congressional +subcommittee which went into this sort of thing got only the barest glimpse." +[8] + 2. Clandestine research into thought manipulation has NOT stopped, despite +CIA protestations that it no longer sponsors such studies. Victor Marchetti, +14-year veteran of the CIA and author of the renown expose, THE CIA AND THE +CULT OF INTELLIGENCE, confirmed in a 1977 interview that the mind control +research continues, and that CIA claims to the contrary are a "cover story."[9] + 3. The Central Intelligence Agency was not the only government agency +involved in this research[10]. Indeed, many branches of our government took +part in these studies -- including NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission, as well +as all branches of the Defense Department. + To these conclusions I would append the following -- NOT as firmly- +established historical fact, but as a working hypothesis and grounds for +investigation: + 4. The "UFO abduction" phenomenon MIGHT be a continuation of clandestine +mind control operations. + I recognize the difficulties this thesis might present to those readers +emotionally wedded to the extraterrestrial hypothesis, or to those whose +political WELTANSHAUUNG disallows any such suspicions. Still, the open- +minded student of abductions should consider the possibilities. Certainly, +we are not being narrow-minded if we ask researchers to exhaust ALL terrestrial +explanations before looking heavenward. + Granted, this particular explanation may, at first, seem as bizarre as the +phenomenon itself. But I invite the skeptical reader to examine the work of +George Estabrooks, a seminal theorist on the use of hypnosis in warfare, and +a veteran of Project MKULTRA. Estabrooks once amused himself during a party +by covertly hypnotizing two friends, who were led to believe that the Prime +Minister of England had just arrived; Estabrooks' victims spent an hour +conversing with, and even serving drinks to, the esteemed visitor[11]. For +ufologists, this incident raises an inescapable question: If the Mesmeric arts +can successfully evoke a non-existent Prime Minister, why can't a represent- +ative from the Pleiades be similarly induced? + But there is much more to the present day technology of mind control than +mere hypnosis -- and many good reasons to suspect that UFO abduction accounts +are an artifact of continuing brainwashing/behavior modification experiments. +Moreover, I intend to demonstrate that, by using UFO mythology as a cover +story, the experimenters may have solved the major problem with the work +conducted in the 1950s -- "the disposal problem," i.e., the question of +"What do we do with the victims?" + If, in these pages, I seem to stray from the subject of the saucers, I plead +for patience. Before I attempt to link UFO abductions with mind control +experiments, I must first show that this technology EXISTS. Much of the +forthcoming is an introduction to the topic of mind control -- what it is, and +how it works. + + II. The Technology + +A BRIEF OVERVIEW + + In the early days of World War II, George Estabrooks, of Colgate University, +wrote to the Department of War, describing in breathless terms the possible +uses of hypnosis in warfare[12]. The Army was intrigued; Estabrooks had a +job. The true history of Estabrooks' wartime collaboration with the CID, +FBI[13] and other agencies may never be told: After the war, he burned his +diary pages covering the years 1940-45, and thereafter avoided discussing his +continuing government work with anyone, even close members of the family[14]. +Occasionally, he strongly intimated that his work involved the creation of +hypno-programmed couriers and hypnotically-induced split personalities, but +whether he succeeded in these areas remains a controversial point. Neverthe- +less, the eccentric and flamboyant Estabrooks remains a pivotal figure in the +early history of clandestine behavioral research. + Which is not to say that he worked alone. World War II was the first +conflict in which the human brain became a field of battle, where invading +forces were led by the most notable names in psychology and pharmacology. On +both sides, the war spurred furious efforts to create a "truth drug" for use +in interrogating prisoners. General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, director of +the OSS, tasked his crack team -- including Dr. Winifred Overhulser, Dr. +Edward Strecker, Harry J. Anslinger and George White -- to modify human +perception and behavior through chemical means; their "medicine cabinet" +included scopolamine, peyote, barbiturates, mescaline, and marijuana. (This +research had its amusing side: Donovan's "psychic warriors" conducted many +extensive and expensive trials before deciding that the best method of +administering tetrahydrocannibinol, the active ingredient in marijuana, was +via the cigarette. Any jazz musician could have told them as much[15].) + Simultaneously, the notorious NAZI doctors at Dachau experimented with +mescaline as a means of eliminating the victim's will to resist. Jews, slavs, +gypsies, and other "Untermenschen" in the camp were surreptitiously slipped the +drug; later, mescaline was combined with hypnosis[16]. The results of these +tests were made available to the United States after the War. [cf. Operation +PAPERCLIP, which transferred thousands of German and Japanese intelligence +researchers directly into the U.S. intelligence community. "Our Germans are +BETTER than their Germans!" - DR. STRANGELOVE -jpg] + In 1947, the Navy conducted the first known post-war mind control program, +Project CHAPTER, which continued the drug experiments. Decades later, +journalists and investigators still haven't uncovered much information about +this project -- or, indeed, about any of the military's other excursions into +this field. We know that the Army eventually founded operations THIRD CHANCE +and DERBY HAT; other project names remain mysterious, though the existence of +these programs is unquestionable. [? -jpg] + The newly-formed CIA plunged into this cesspool in 1950, with Project +BLUEBIRD, rechristened ARTICHOKE in 1951. To establish a "cover story" for +this research, the CIA funded a propaganda effort designed to convince the +world that the Communist Bloc had devised insidious new methods of re-shaping +the human will; the CIA's own efforts could therefore, if exposed, be explained +as an attempt to "catch up" with Soviet and Chinese work. The primary promoter +of this "line" was one Edward Hunter, a CIA contract employee operating under- +cover as a journalist, and, later, a prominent member of the John Birch +society. (Hunter was an OSS veteran of the China theatre -- the same spawning +grounds which produced Richard Helms, Howard Hunt, Mitch WerBell, Fred +Chrisman, Paul Helliwell and a host of other noteworthies who came to +dominate that strange land where the worlds of intelligence and right-wing +extremism meet[17].) Hunter offered "brainwashing" as the explanation for the +numerous confessions signed by American prisoners of war during the Korean War +and (generally) UN-recanted upon the prisoners' repatriation. These confes- +sions alleged that the United States used germ warfare in the Korean conflict, +a claim which the American public of the time found impossible to accept. +[Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, murdered President Kennedy. -jpg] Many +years later, however, investigative reporters discovered that Japan's germ +warfare specialists (who had wreaked incalculable terror on the conquered +Chinese during WWII) had been mustered into the American national security +apparat -- and that the knowledge gleaned from Japan's horrifying germ +warfare experiments probably WAS used in Korea, just as the "brainwashed" +soldiers had indicated[18]. Thus, we now know that the entire brainwashing +scare of the 1950s constituted a CIA hoax perpetrated upon the American +public: CIA deputy director Richard Helms admitted as much when, in 1963, +he told the Warren Commission that Soviet mind control research consistently +lagged years behind American efforts[19]. + When the CIA's mind control program was transferred from the Office of +Security to the Technical Services Staff (TSS) in 1953, the name changed +again -- to MKULTRA[20]. Many consider this wide-ranging "octopus" project -- +whose tentacles twined through the corridors of numerous universities and +around the necks of an army of scientists -- the most ominous operation in +CIA's catalogue of atrocity. Through MKULTRA, the Agency created an umbrella +program of a positively Joycean scope, designed to ferret out all possible +means of invading what George Orwell once called "the space between our ears" +(Later still, in 1962, mind control research was transferred to the Office +of Research and Development; project cryptonyms remain unrevealed[21].) + What was studied? Everything -- including hypnosis, conditioning, sensory +deprivation, drugs, religious cults, microwaves, psychosurgery, brain implants, +and even ESP. When MKULTRA "leaked" to the public during the great CIA +investigations of the 1970s, public attention focused most heavily on drug +experimentation and the work with ESP[22]. Mystery still shrouds another area +of study, the area which seems to have most interested ORD: psychoelectronics. +This research may prove key to our understanding of the UFO abduction +phenomenon. + + +IMPLANTS + + Perhaps the most interesting pieces of evidence surrounding the abduction +phenomenon are the intracerebral implants allegedly visible in the X-rays and +MRI scans of many abductees[23]. Indeed, abductees often describe operations +in which needles are inserted into the brain; more frequently still, they +report implantation of foreign objects through the sinus cavities. Many +abduction specialists assume that these intracranial incursions must be the +handiwork of scientists from the stars. Unfortunately, these researchers +have failed to familiarize themselves with certain little-heralded advances +in terrestrial technology. + The abductees' implants strongly suggest a technological lineage which can +be traced to a device known as a "stimoceiver," invented in the late '50s- +early '60s by a neuroscientist named Jose "Bob" Delgado. The stimoceiver is a +miniature depth electrode which can receive and transmit electronic signals +over FM radio waves. By stimulating a correctly-positioned stimoceiver, an +outside operator can wield a surprising degree of control over the subject's +responses. + The most famous example of the stimoceiver in action occurred in a Madrid +bull ring. Delgado "wired" the bull before stepping into the ring, entirely +unprotected. Furious for gore, the bull charged toward the doctor -- then +stopped, just before reaching him. The technician-turned-toreador had halted +the animal by simply pushing a button on a black BoX, held in the hand[24]. + Delgado's PHYSICAL CONTROL OF THE MIND: TOWARD A PSYCHOCIVILISED SOCIETY[25] +remains the sole, full-length, popularly-written work on intracerebral implants +and electronic stimulation of the brain (ESB). (The book's ominous title and +unconvincing philosophical rationales for mass mind control prompted an +unfavorable public reaction -- which may have deterred other researchers from +publishing on this theme for a general audience.) While subsequent work has +long since superceded the techniques described in this book, Delgado's +achievements were seminal. His animal and human experiments clearly demon- +strate that the experimenter can electronically induce emotions and behavior: +Under certain conditions, the extremes of temperament -- rage, lust, fatigue, +etc. -- can be elicited by an outside operator as easily as an organist might +call forth a C-major chord. + Delgado writes: "Radio stimulation of different points in the amygdala and +hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effects, including +pleasant sensations, elation, deep, thoughtful concentration, odd feelings, +super relaxation, colored visions, and other responses."[26] The evocative +phrase "colored vision" clearly indicates remotely-induced hallucination; we +will detail later how these hallucinations may be "controlled" by an outside +operator. + Speaking in 1966 -- and reflecting research undertaken years previous -- +Delgado asserted that his experiments "support the distasteful conclusion that +motion, emotion, and behavior can be directed by electrical forces and that +humans can be controlled like robots by push buttons."[27] He even prophesied +a day when brain control could be turned over to non-human operators, by +establishing two-way radio communication between the implanted brain and a +computer[28]. + Of one experimental subject, Delgado notes that "the patient expressed the +successive sensations of fainting, fright and floating around. These +'floating' feelings were repeatedly evoked on different days by stimulation +of the same point..."[29] Ufologists may recognize the similarity of this +sequence of events to abductee reports of the opening minutes of their +experiences[30]. Under subsequent hypnosis, the abductee could be instructed +to misremember the cause of this floating sensation. + In a fascinating series of experiments, Delgado attached the stimoceiver +to the tympanic membrane, thereby transforming the ear into a sort of micro- +phone. An assistant would whisper "How are you?" into the ear of a suitably +"fixed" cat, and Delgado could hear the words over a loudspeaker in the next +room. The application of this technology to the spy trade should be readily +apparent. According to Victor Marchetti, The Agency once attempted a highly- +sophisticated extension of this basic idea, in which radio implants were +attached to a cat's cochlea, to facilitate the pinpointing of specific +conversations, freed from extraneous surrounding noises[31]. Such "advances" +exacerbate the already-imposing level of Twentieth-Century paranoia: Not only +can our phones be tapped and mail checked, but even TABBY may be spying on us! + Yet the ramifications of this technology may go even deeper than Marchetti +indicates. I presume that if a suitably-wired subject's inner ear can be made +into a microphone, it can also be made into a loudspeaker -- one possible +explanation for the "voices" heard by abductees[32]. Indeed, I have personally +viewed a strange, opalescent implant within the ear canal of an abductee. I +see no reason to ascribe this device to alien intrusion -- more than likely, +the "intruders" in this case were the technological inheritors of the Delgado +legacy. Indeed, not many years after Delgado's experiments with the cat, +Ralph Schwitzgebel devised a "bug-in-the-ear" via which the therapist -- odd +term, under the circumstances -- can communicate with his subject[33]. + Other researchers have made notable contributions to this field. + Robert G. "Bob" Heath, of Tulane University, who has implanted as many as +125 +electrodes in his subjects, achieved his greatest notoriety by attempting to +"cure" homosexuality through ESB. In his experiments, he discovered that he +could control his patients' memory, (a feat which, applied in the ufological +context, may account for the phenomenon of "missing time"); he could also +induce sexual arousal, fear, pleasure, and hallucinations[34]. + Heath and another researcher, James Olds[35], have independently illustrated +that areas of the brain in and near the hypothalamus have, when electronically +stimulated, what has been described as "rewarding" and "aversive" effects. +Both animals and men, when given the means to induce their own ESB of the +brain's pleasure centers, will stimulate themselves at a tremendous rate, +ignoring such basic drives as hunger and thirst[36]. (Using fixed electrodes +of his own invention, John C. Lilly had accomplished similar effects in the +early 1950s[37].) Anyone who has studied the abduction phenomenon will find +himself on familiar territory here, for the abductee accounts are replete with +stories of bewildering and inappropriate sexual response countered by extremely +painful stimuli -- operant conditioning, at its most extreme, and most +insidious, for here we see a form of conditioning in which the manipulator +renders himself invisible. Indeed, B.F. Skinner-esque aversive therapy, +remotely appiled, was Heath's prescription for "healing" homosexuality[38]. + Ralph Schwitzgebel and his brother Robert have produced a panoply of +devices for tracking individuals over long ranges; they may be considered +the creators of the "electronic house arrest" devices recently approved by +the courts[39]. Schwitzgebel devices could be used for tracking all the +physical and neurological signs of a "patient" within a quarter of a mile[40], +thereby lifting the distance limitations which restricted Delgado. + In Ralph Schwitzgebel's initial work, application of this technology to +ESB seems to have been limited to cumbersome brain implants with protruding +wires. But the technology was soon miniaturized, and a scheme was proposed +whereby radio receivers would be mounted on utility poles throughout a +given city, thereby providing 24-hour-a-day monitoring capability[41]. Like +Heath, Schwitzgebel was much exercised about homosexuality and the use of +intracranial devices to combat sexual deviation. But he has also spoken +ominously about applying his devices to "socially troublesome persons"... +which, of course, could mean anyone[42]. + Bryan Robinson, of the Yerkes primate laboratory has conducted fascinating +simian research on the use of remote ESB in a social context. He could cause +mothers to ignore their offspring, despite the babies' cries. He could turn +submission into dominance, and vice-versa[43]. + Perhaps the most disturbing wanderer into this mind-field is Joseph A. +Meyer, of the National Security Agency, the most formidable and secretive +component of America's national security complex. Meyer has proposed implant- +ing rougly half of all Americans arrested -- not necessarily convicted -- +of any crime; the numbers of "subscribers" (his euphemism) would run into the +tens of millions. "Subscribers" could be monitored continually by computer +wherever they went. Meyer, who has carefully worked out the economics of his +mass-implantation system, asserts that taxpayer liability should be reduced +by forcing subscribers to "rent" the implant from the State. Implants are +cheaper and more efficient than police, Meyer suggests, since the call to crime +is relentless for the poor "urban dweller" -- who, this spook-scientist admits +in a surprisingly candid aside, is fundamentally unnecessary to a post- +industrial economy. "Urban dweller" may be another of Meyer's euphemisms: He +uses New York's Harlem as his model community in working out the details of his +mind-management system[44]. + + +ABDUCTEE IMPLANTS + + If we are to take seriously abductee accounts of brain implants, we must +consider the possibility that the implanters, properly perceived, DON'T look +much like the "greys" pictured on Strieber's dustjackets. Instead, the +visitors may resemble Dr. Meyer and his brethren. We would thus have an +explanation for both the reports of abductee brain implants and, as we shall +see, the "scoop marks" and other scars visible on other parts of the abductees' +bodies. We would also have an explanation for the reports of individuals +suffering personality change after contact with the UFO phenomenon. + Skeptics might counter that the time factor of UFO abductions disallows +this possibility. If estimates of "missing time" are correct, the abductions +rarely take longer than one-to-three hours. Wouldn't a brain surgeon, +operating under less-than-ideal conditions (perhaps in a mobile unit) need +more time? + NO -- not if we accept the claims of a Florida doctor named Daniel Man. +He recently proposed a draconian solution to the overblown "missing children +problem," by suggesting a program wherein America's youngsters would be +implanted with tiny transmitters in order to track the children continuously. +Man brags that the operation can be done right in the office -- and would take +less than 20 minutes[45]. + Conceivably, it might take a tad longer in the field. + + +A QUESTION OF TIMING + + The history of brain implantation, as gleaned from the open literature, is +certainly disquieting. Yet this history has almost certainly been censored, +and the dates manipulated in a nigh-Orwellian fashion. When dealing with +research funded by the engines of national security, one can never know the +true origin date of any individual scientific advance. However, if we listen +carefully to the scientists who have pioneered this research, we may hear +whispers, faint but unmistakable, hinting that remotely-applied ESB originated +earlier than published studies would indicate. + In his autobiography THE SCIENTIST, John C. Lilly (who would later achieve +a cultish reknown for his work with dolphins, drugs and sensory deprivation) +records a conversation he had with the director of the National Institute +of Mental Health -- in 1953. The director asked Lilly to brief the CIA, FBI, +NSA and the various military intelligence services on his work using electrodes +to stimulate directly the pleasure and pain centers of the brain. Lilly +refused, noting, in his reply: + + Dr. Antoine Remond, using our techniques in Paris, has + demonstrated that this method of stimulation of the brain + can be applied to the human without the help of the neuro- + surgeon; he is doing it in his office in Paris without neuro- + surgical supervision. This means that anybody with the proper + apparatus can carry this out on a person covertly, with no + external signs that electrodes have been used on that person. + I feel that if this technique got into the hands of a secret + agency, they would have total control over a human being and + be able to change his beliefs extremely quickly, leaving + little evidence of what they had done[46]. + + Lilly's assertion of the moral high ground here is interesting. Despite +his avowed phobia against secrecy, a careful reading of THE SCIENTIST reveals +that he continued to do work useful to this country's national security appar- +atus. His sensory deprivation experiments expanded upon the work of ARTICHOKE's +Maitland Baldwin, and even his dolphin research has -- perhaps inadvertently +proved useful in naval warfare[47]. One should note that Lilly's work on +monkeys carried a "secret" classification, and that NIMH was a common CIA +funding conduit[48]. + But the most important aspect of Lilly's statement is its date. 1953? +How far back does radio-controlled ESB go? Alas, I have not yet seen Remond's +work -- if it is available in the open literature. In the documents made +available to Marks, the earliest reference to remotely-applied ESB is a 1959 +financial document pertaining to MKULTRA subproject 94. The general subproject +descriptions sent to the CIA's financial department rarely contain much +information, and rarely change from year to year, leaving us little idea as to +when this subproject began. + Unfortunately, even the Freedom of Information Act couldn't pry loose much +information on electronic mind control techniques, though we know a great deal +of study was done in these areas. We have, for example, only four pages on +subproject 94 -- by comparison, a veritable flood of documents were released on +the use of drugs in mind control. (Whenever an author tells us that MKULTRA +met with little success, the reference is to drug testing.) On this point, I +must criticize John Marks: His book never mentions that roughly 20-25 percent +of the subprojects are "dark" -- i.e., little or no information was ever made +available, despite lawyers and FOIA requests. Marks seems to feel that the +only information worth having is the information he received. We know, +however, that research into psychoelectronics was extensive indeed, statements +of project goals dating from ARTICHOKE and BLUEBIRD days clearly identify this +area as a high priority. Marks' anonymous informant, jocularly named "Deep +Trance," even told a previous interviewer that, beginning in 1963, CIA and the +military's mind control efforts strongly emphasized electronics[49]. I +therefore assume -- not rashly, I hope -- that the "dark" MKULTRA subprojects +concerned matters such as brain implants, microwaves, ESB, and related +technologies. + I make an issue of the timing and secrecy involved in this research to +underscore three points: 1. We can never know with certainty the true origin +dates of the various brainwashing methods -- often, we discover that techniques +which seem impossibly futuristic actually originated in the 19th century. +(Pioneering ESB research was conducted in 1898, by J.R. ("Bob" Dobbs) Ewald, +professor of physiology at Straussbourg[50].) 2. The open literature almost +certainly gives a bowdlerized view of the actual research. 3. Lavishly-funded +clandestine researchers -- unrestrained by peer review or the need for strict +controls -- can achieve far more rapid progress than scientists "on the +outside." + Potential critics should keep these points in mind should they attempt to +invalidate the "mind control" thesis of UFO abductions by citing an abduction +account which antedates Delgado. + + +THE QUANDARY + + We have amply demonstrated, then, that as far back as the 1960s -- and +possibly earlier still -- scientists have had the capability to create implants +similar to those now purportedly visible in abductee MRI scans. Indeed, we +have no notion just how advanced this technology has become, since the popular +press stopped reporting on brain implantation in the 1970s. The research +has no doubt continued, albeit in a less public fashion. In fact, scientists +such as Delgado have cast their eye far beyond the implants; ESB effects can +now be elicited with microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, +used with and without electrodes. + So why -- if we take UFO abduction accounts at face value -- are the +"advanced aliens" using an old technology, an EARTH technology, a technology +which may soon be rendered obsolescent, if it hasn't been so rendered already? +I am reminded of the charming anachronisms in the old Flash Gordon serials, +where swords and spaceships clashed continually. + Do they also watch black-and-white television on Zeta Reticuli? + + +REMOTE HYPNOSIS + + Hypnosis provides the (highly controversial) key which opens the door to +many abduction accounts[51]. And obviously, if my thesis is correct, hypnosis +plays a large part in the abduction itself. One thing we know with certainty: +Since the earliest days of project BLUEBIRD, the CIA's spy-chiatrists spent +enormous sums mastering Mesmer's art. + I cannot here give even a brief summary of hypnosis, nor even of the CIA's +studies in this area. (Fortunately, FOIA requests were rather more successful +in shaking loose information on this topic than in the area of psycho- +electronics.) Here, we will concentrate on a particularly intriguing +allegation -- one heard faintly, but persistently, for the past twenty years +by those who would investigate the shadow side of politics. + If this allegation proves true, hypnosis is NOT necessarily a person-to- +person affair. + The abductee -- or the mind control victim -- need not have physical +contact with a hypnotist for hypnotic suggestion to take effect; trance could +be induced, and suggestions made, via the intracerebral transmitters described +above. The concept sounds like something out of Huxley's or Orwell's most +masochistic fantasies. Yet remote hypnosis was first reported -- using +allegedly parapsychological means -- in the early 1930s, by L.L. Vasilev, +Professor of Physiology in the University of Leningrad[52]. Later, other +scientists attempted to accomplish the same goal, using less mystic means. + Over the years, certain journalists have asserted that the CIA has mastered +a technology call RHIC-EDOM. RHIC means "Radio Hypnotic Intracerebral +Control." EDOM stands for "Electronic Dissolution of Memory." Together, these +techniques can -- allegedly -- remotely induce hypnotic trance, deliver +suggestions to the subject, and erase all memory for both the instruction +period and the act which the subject is asked to perform. + RHIC uses the stimoceiver, or a microminiaturized offspring of that tech- +nology to induce a hypnotic state. Interestingly, this technique is also +reputed to involve the use of INTRAMUSCULAR implants, a detail strikingly +reminiscent of the "scars" mentioned in Budd Hopkins MISSING TIME. Apparently, +these implants are stimulated to induce a post-hypnotic suggestion. + EDOM is nothing more than missing time itself -- the erasure of memory from +consciousness through the blockage of synaptic transmission in certain areas of +the brain. By jamming the brain's synapses through a surfeit of acetocholine, +neural transmission along selected pathways can be effectively stilled. +According to the proponents of RHIC-EDOM, acetocholine production can be +affected by electromagnetic means. (Modern research in the psycho-physio- +logical effects of microwaves confirm this proposition.) + Does RHIC-EDOM exist? In our discussion of Delgado's work, I have already +cited a strange little book (published in 1969) titled WERE WE CONTROLLED?, +written by one Lincoln Lawrence, a former FBI agent turned journalist. (The +name is a pseudonym; I know his real identity.) This work deals at length with +RHIC-EDOM; a careful comparison of Lawrence's work with MKULTRA files declas- +sified ten years later indicates a strong possibility that the writer did +indeed have "inside" sources. + Here is how Lawrence describes RHIC in action: + + It is the ultra-sophisticated application of post-hypnotic + suggestion TRIGGERED AT WILL [italics in original] by radio + transmission. It is a recurring hypnotic state, re-induced + automatically at intervals by the same radio control. An + individual is brought under hypnosis. This can be done either + with his knowledge -- or WITHOUT it by use of narco-hypnosis, + which can be brought into play under many guises. He is then + programmed to perform certain actions and maintain certain + attitudes upon radio signal[53]. + + Other authors have mentioned this technique -- specifically Walter Bowart +(in his book OPERATION MIND CONTROL) and journalist James Moore, who, in a +1975 issue of a periodical called MODERN PEOPLE, claimed to have secured a +350-page manual, prepared in 1963, on RHIC-EDOM[54]. He received the manual +from CIA sources, although -- interestingly -- the technique is said to have +originated in the military. + + The following quote by Moore on RHIC should prove especially intriguing +to abduction researchers who have confronted odd "personality shifts" in +abductees: + + Medically, these radio signals are directed to certain + parts of the brain. When a part of your brain receives a + tiny electrical impulse from outside sources, such as vision, + hearing, etc.,an emotion is produced -- anger at the sight of + a gang of boys beating an old woman, for example. The same + emotion of anger can be created by artificial radio signals + sent to your brain by a controller. You could instantly feel + the same white-hot anger without any apparent reason[55]. + + Lawrence's sources imparted an even more tantalizing -- and frightening -- +revelation: + + ...there is already in use a small EDOM generator-transmitter + which can be concealed on the body of a person. Contact with + this person -- a casual handshake or even just a touch -- + transmits a tiny electronic charge plus an ultra-sonic signal + tone which for a short while will disturb the time orientation + of the person affected[56]. + + If RHIC-EDOM exists, it goes a long way toward providing an earthbound +rationale for alien abductions -- or, at least, certain aspects of them. The +phenomenon of "missing time" is no longer mysterious. Abductee implants, +both intracerebral and otherwise, are explained. And note the reference to +"recurring hypnotic state, reinduced automatically by the same radio command." +This situation may account for "repeater" abductees who, after their initial +encounter, have regular sessions of "missing time" and abduction -- even while +a bed-mate sleeps undisturbed. + At present, I cannot claim conclusively that RHIC-EDOM is real. To my +knowledge, the only official questioning of a CIA representive concerning +these techniques occurred in 1977, during Senate hearings on CIA drug testing. +Senator Richard Schweicker had the following interchange with Dr. Sidney +Gottlieb, an important MKULTRA administrator: + + SCHWEICKER: Some of the projects under MKULTRA involved + hypnosis, is that correct? + GOTTLIEB: Yes. + SCHWEICKER: Did any of these projects involve something + called radio hypnotic intracerebral control, which is a + combination, as I understand it, in layman's terms, of radio + transmissions and hypnosis. + GOTTLIEB: My answer is "No." + SCHWEICKER: None whatsoever? + GOTTLIEB: Well, I am trying to be responsive to the + terms you used. As I remember it, there was a current + interest, running interest, all the time in what effects + people's standing in the field of radio energy have, and + it could easily have been that somewhere in many projects, + someone was trying to see if you could hypnotize someone + easier if he was standing in a radio beam. That would + seem like a reasonable piece of research to do. + + Schweicker went on to mention that he had heard testimony that radar (i.e., +microwaves) had been used to wipe out memory in animals; Gottlieb responded, +"I can believe that, Senator."[57] + Gottlieb's blandishments do not comfort much. For one thing, the good +doctor did not always provide thoroughly candid testimony. (During the same +hearing he averred that 99 percent on the CIA's research had been openly +published; if so, why are so many MKULTRA subprojects still "dark," and why +does the Agency still go to great lengths to protect the identities of its +scientists?[58]) We should also recognize that the CIA's operations are +compartmentalized on a "need-to-know" basis; Gottlieb may not have had access +to the information requested by Schweicker. Note that the MKULTRA rubric +circumscribed Gottlieb's statement: RHIC-EDOM might have been the focus of +another program. (There were several others: MKNAOMI, MKACTION, MKSEARCH, +etc.) Also keep in mind the revelation by "Deep Trance" that the CIA +concentrated on psychoelectronics AFTER the termination of MKULTRA in 1963. +Most significantly: RHIC-EDOM is described by both Lawrence and Moore as a +product of MILITARY research; Gottlieb spoke only of matters pertaining to CIA. +He may thus have spoken truthfully -- at least in a strictly technical sense -- +while still misleading the Congressional interlocutors. + Personally, I believe that the RHIC-EDOM story deserves a great deal of +further research. I find it significant that when Dr. Petter Lindstrom +examined X-rays of Robert Naesland, a Swedish victim of brain-implantation, the +doctor authoritatively cited WERE WE CONTROLLED? in his letter of response[59]. +This is the same Dr. Lindstrom noted for his pioneering use of ultrasonics in +neurosurgery[60]. Lincoln Lawrence's book has received a strong endorsement +indeed. + Bowart's OPERATION MIND CONTROL contains a significant interview with an +intelligence agent knowledgeable in these areas. Granted, the reader has every +right to adopt a skeptical attitude toward information culled from anonymous +sources; still, one should note that this operative's statements confirm, in +pertinent part, Lawrence's thesis[61]. + Most importantly: The open literature on brain-wave entrainment and the +behavioral effects of electromagnetic radiation substantiates much of the RHIC- +EDOM story -- as we shall see. + + +THAT'S ENTRAINMENT + + Robert Anton Wilson, an author with a devoted cult following, recently has +taken to promoting a new generation of "mind machines" designed to promote +creativity, stimulate learning, and alter consciousness -- i.e., provide a +drug-less high. Interestingly, these machines can also induce "Out-of-Body- +Experiences," in which the percipient mentally "travels" to another location +while his body remains at rest[62]. This rapidly-developing technology has +spawned a technological equivalent to the drug culture; indeed, the aficionados +of the electronic buzz even have their own magazine, REALITY HACKERS. [Now +defunct. -jpg] I strongly suspect that we will hear much of these machines in +the future. + One such device is called the "hemi-synch." This headphone-like invention +produces slightly different frequences in each ear; the brain calculates the +difference between these frequencies, resulting in a rhythm known as the +"binaural beat." The brain "entrains" itself to this beat -- that is, the +subject's EEG slows down or speeds up to keep pace with its electronic +running partner[63]. + The brain has a "beat" of its own. + This rhythm was first discovered in 1924 by the German psychiatrist Hans +Berger, who recorded cerebral voltages as part of a telepathy study[64]. He +noted two distinct frequencies: alpha (8-13 cycles per second), associated +with a relaxed, alert state, and beta (14-30 cycles per second), produced +during states of agitation and intense mental concentration. Later, other +rhythms were noted, which are particularly important for our present purposes: +theta (4-7 cycles per second), a hypnogogic state, and delta (.5 to 3.5 cycles +per second), generally found in sleeping subjects[65]. + The hemi-synch -- and related mind-machines -- can produce alpha or theta +waves, on demand, according to the operator's wishes. A suitably-entrained +brain is much more responsive to suggestion, and is even likely to experience +vivid hallucinations. + I have spoken to several UFO abductees who describe a "stereophonic sound" +effect -- EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THAT PRODUCED BY THE HEMI-SYNCH -- preceding many +"encounters." Of course, one usually administers the hemi-synch via head- +phones, but I see no reason why the effect cannot be transmitted via the above- +described stimoceiver. Again, I remind the reader of the abductee with an +implant just inside her ear canal. + There's more than one way to entrain a brain. Michael Hutchison's excellent +book MEGA BRAIN details the author's personal experiences with many such +devices -- the Alpha-stim, TENS, the Synchro-energizer, Tranquilite, etc. He +recounts dazzling, Dali-esque hallucinations, as a result of using this mind- +expanding technology; moreover, he offers a seductive argument that these +devices may represent a true breakthrough in consciousness-control, thereby +fulfilling the dashed dream of the hallucinogenic '60s. + I wish to avoid a knee-jerk Luddite response to these fascinating wonder- +boxes. At the same time, I recognize the dangers involved. What about the +possibility of an outside operator literally "changing our minds" by altering +our brainwaves without our knowledge or permission? If these machines can +induce a hypnotic state, what's to stop a skilled hypnotist from making use +of this state? + Granted, most of these devices require some physical interaction with the +subject. But a tool called the Bio-Pacer can, according to its manufacturer, +produce a number of mood altering frequencies -- WITHOUT attachment to the +subject. Indeed, the Bio-Pacer III (a high-powered version) can affect an +entire room. This device costs $275, according to the most recent price +sheet available[66]. What sort of machine might $27,500 buy? Or $275,000? +What effects, what ranges might a million-dollar machine be capable of? + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

They report sudden changes in psychological +states, alteration of sleep patterns, intracerebral voices and other sounds, +and physiological effects. Most people never realize how many wavies there are +in this country. I've spoken to a number of wavies myself. + Are these troubled individuals seeking an exterior rationale for their +mental problems? Maybe. Indeed, I'm sure that such is the case in many +instances. But the fact is that the literature on the behavioral effects of +microwaves, extra-low-frequencies (ELF) and ultra-sonics is such that we +cannot blithely dismiss ALL such claims. + For decades, American science and industry tried to convince the population +that microwaves could have no adverse effects on human beings at sub-thermal +levels -- in other words, the attitude was, "If it can't burn you, it can't +hurt you." This approach became increasingly difficult to defend as reports +mounted of microwave-induced physiological effects. Technicians described +"hearing" certain radar installations; users of radar telescopes began +developing cataracts at an appallingly high rate[70]. The Soviets had long +recognized the strange and sometimes subtle effects of these radio frequencies, +which is why their exposure standards have always been much stricter. + Soviet microwave bombardment of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow prompted the +Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Project PANDORA (later renamed), +whose ostensible goal was to determine whether these pulsations (reportedly +10 cycles per second, which puts them in the alpha range) could be used for the +purposes of mind control. I suspect that the "war on Tchaikowsky Street," as +I call it[71], was used, at least in part, as a cover story for DARPA mind +control research, and that the stories floated in the news (via, for example, +Jack Anderson's column) about Soviet remote brainwashing served the same +propaganda purposes as did the bleatings of Edward Hunter during the 1950s.[72] + What can low-level microwaves do to the mind? + According to a DIA report released under the Freedom of Information Act[73], +microwaves can induce metabolic changes, alter brain functions, and disrupt +behavior patterns. PANDORA discovered that pulsed microwaves can create leaks +in the blood/brain barrier, induce heart seizures, and create behavioral +disorganization[74]. In 1970, a RAND Corporation scientist reported that +microwaves could be used to promote insomnia, fatigue, irritability, memory +loss, and hallucinations[75]. + Perhaps the most significant work in this area has been produced by Dr. W. +Ross Adey at the University of Southern California. He determined that +behavior and emotional states can be altered without electrodes -- simply by +placing the subject in an electromagnetic field. By directing a carrier +frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude modulation to "shape" the +wave into a mimicry of a desired EEG frequency, he was able to impose a 4.5 +cps theta rhythm on his subjects -- a frequency which he previously measured +in the hippocampus during avoidance learning. Thus, he could externally +condition the mind towards an aversive reaction[76]. (Adey has also done +extensive work on the use of electrodes in animals[77].) According to another +prominent microwave scientist, Allen Frey, other frequencies could -- in +animal studies -- induce docility[78]. [cf USP #3,884,218 by Robert ("Bob") +Monroe, METHOD OF INDUCING AND MAINTAINING VARIOUS STAGES OF SLEEP IN THE +HUMAN BEING, granted 20 May 1975; ABSTRACT: A method of inducing sleep in the +human being wherein an audio signal is generated comprising a familiar pleasing +repetitive sound modulated by an EEG sleep pattern. -jpg] + The controversial researcher Andrijah Puharich asserts that "a weak (1 mW) +4 Hz magnetic sine wave will modify human brain waves in 6 to 10 seconds. The +psychological effects of a 4 Hz sine magnetic wave are negative -- causing +dizzyness, nausea, headache, and can lead to vomiting." Conversely, an 8 Hz +magnetic sine wave has beneficial effects[79]. Though some writers question +Puharich's integrity (perhaps correctly, considering his involvement in the +confused tale of Uri Geller), his claims here seem in line with the findings of +less-flamboyant experimenters. + As investigative journalist Anne Keeler writes: + + Specific frequencies at low intensities can predictably + influence sensory processes...pleasantness-unpleasantness, + strain-relaxation, and excitement-quiescence can be created + with the fields. Negative feelings and avoidance are strong + biological phenomena and relate to survival. Feelings are + the true basis of much "decision-making" and often occur as + subthreshold [i.e. subliminal -jpg] impressions...Ideas + INCLUDING NAMES [my italics] [Cannon's italics -jpg] can be + synchronized with the feelings that the fields induce[80]. + + Adey and compatriots have compiled an entire library of frequencies and +pulsation rates which can affect the mind and nervous system. Some of these +effects can be extremely bizarre. For example, engineer Tom Jarski, in an +attempt to replicate the seminal work of F. Cazzamali, found that a particular +frequency caused a ringing sensation in the ears of his subjects -- who felt +strangely compelled to BITE the experimenters![81]. On the other hand, the +diet-conscious may be intrigued by the finding that rats exposed to ELF waves +failed to gain weight normally[82]. + For our present purposes, the most significant electromagnetic research +findings concern microwave signals modulated by hypnoidal EEG frequencies. +Microwaves can act much like the "hemi-synch" device previously described -- +that is, they can entrain the brain to theta rhythms[83]. I need not emphasize +the implications of remotely synchronizing the brain to resonate at a frequency +conducive to sleep, or to hypnosis. + Trance may be remotely induced -- but can it be directed? Yes. Recall the +intracerebral voices mentioned earlier in our discussion of Delgado. The same +effect can be produced by "the wave." Frey demonstrated in the early 1960s +that microwaves could produce booming, hissing, buzzing, and other intra- +cerebral static (this phenomenon is now called "the Frey effect"); in 1973, +Dr. Joseph Sharp, of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, expanded on +Frey's work in an experiment where the subject -- in this case, Sharp himself-- +"heard" and understood spoken words delivered via a pulsed-microwave analog of +the speaker's sound vibrations[84]. + Dr. Robert Becker comments that "Such a device has obvious applications in +covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with 'voices' or deliver +undetectable instructions to a programmed assassin."[85] In other words, we +now have, AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON, the technology either to inflict an +electronic GASLIGHT -- or to create a true MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. Indeed, the +former capability could effectively disguise the latter. Who will listen to +the victims, when electronically-induced hallucinations they recount exactly +parallel the classical signals of paranoid schizophrenia and/or temporal lobe +epilepsy? + Perhaps the most ominous revelations, however, concern the mysterious work +of J.F. "BoB" Schapitz, who in 1974 filed a plan to explore the interaction of +radio frequencies and hypnosis. He proposed the following: + + In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken + word of the hypnotist may be conveyed by modulated electro- + magnetic energy DIRECTLY INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS PARTS OF THE + HUMAN BRAIN [my italics] -- i.e., without employing any + technical devices for receiving or transcoding the messages + and without the person exposed to such influence having a + chance to control the information input consciously. + + + He outlined an experiment, innocent in its immediate effects yet chilling +in its implications, whereby subjects would be implanted with the subconscious +suggestion to leave the lab and buy a particular item; this action would be +triggered by a certain cue word or action. Schapitz felt certain that the +subjects would rationalize the behavior -- in other words, the subject would +seize upon any excuse, however thin, to chalk up his actions to the working of +free will[86]. His instincts on this latter point coalesce perfectly with +findings of professional hypnotists[87]. + Schapitz's work was funded by the Department of Defense. Despite FOIA +requests, the results have never been publicly revealed[88]. + + +FINAL THOUGHTS ON "THE WAVE" + + I must again offer a caveat about possible disparities between the +"official" record of electromagnetism's psychological effects and the hidden +history. Once more, we face a question of timing. How long ago did this +research REALLY begin? + In the eary years of this century, Nikola Tesla seems to have stumbled +upon certain of the behavioral effects of electromagnetic exposure[89]. +Cazamalli, mentioned earlier, conducted his studies in the 1930s. In 1934, +E.L. Chaffe and R.U. Light published a paper on "A Method for the Remote +Control of Electrical Stimulation of the Nervous System."[90] From the very +beginning of their work with microwaves, the Soviets explored the more subtle +physiological effects of electromagnetism -- and despite the bleatings of +certain right-wing alarmists[91] that an "electromagnetic gap" separates us +from Soviet advances, East European literature in this area has been closely +monitored for decades by the West. ARTICHOKE/BLUEBIRD project outlines, +dating from the early 1950s, prominently mention the need to explore all +possible uses of the electromagnetic spectrum. + Another point worth mentioning concerns the combination of EMR and miniature +brain electrodes. The father of the stimoceiver, Dr. J.M.R. "Bob" Delgado, has +recently conducted experiments in which monkeys are exposed to electromagnetic +fields, thereby eliciting a wide range of behavioral effects -- one monkey +might fly into a volcanic rage while, just a few feet away, his simian partner +begins to nod off. Fascinatingly, when monkeys with brain implants felt "the +wave," the effects were greatly intensified. Apparently, these tiny electrodes +can act as AMPLIFIERS of the electromagnetic effect[92]. + This last point is important to our "alien abduction" thesis. Critics +might counter that any burst of microwave energy powerful enough to have truly +remote effects would probably also create a thermal reaction. That is, if a +clandestine operator propagated a "wave" from outside an abductee's bedroom +(say, from a low-flying helicopter, or from a truck travelling alongside the +subject's car), the power necessary to do the job might be such that the +microwave would cook the target before it got a chance to launder his thoughts. +Our abductee would end up like the victim of the microwave "hit" in the finale +of Jerzy Kozinsky's COCKPIT. + It's a fair criticism. But Delgado's work may give us our solution. Once +an abductee has been implanted -- and if we are to trust hypnotic regression +accounts of abductees at all, the first implanting session may occur in +childhood -- the chip-in-the-brain would act an an intensifier of the signal. +Such an individual could have any number of "UFO" experiences while his or her +bed partner dozes comfortably. + Furthermore, recent reports indicate that a "waver" can achieve pinpoint +accuracy without the use of Delgado-style implants. In 1985, volunteers at the +Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, were exposed to microwave +beams as part of an experiment sponsored by the Department of Energy and the +New York State Department of Health. As THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC[93] described the +experiment, "A matched control group sat IN THE SAME ROOM without being +bombarded by non-ionizing radiation." [My italics.] Apparently, one can focus +"the wave" quite narrowly -- a fact which has wide implications for abductees. + + III. Applications + + So we now have some idea of the tools available to the "spy-chiatrists." +How have these tools been used? + This question necessarily involves some detective work. The Central +Intelligence Agency, under duress, provided some, though not enough, documen- +tation of its efforts to commandeer "the space between our ears." We know that +these efforts were extensive, long-term, and at least partially successful. We +know also that these experiments used human subjects. But who? When? + One paradox of this line of inquiry is that, for many readers, the victims +elicit sympathy only insofar as they remain anonymous. Intellectually, we +realize that MKULTRA and its allied projects must have affected hundreds, +probably thousands, of individuals. Yet we react with deep suspicion +whenever one of these individuals steps forward and identifies himself, or +whenever an independent investigator argues that mind control has directed some +newsworthy person's otherwise inexplicable actions. Where, the skeptic may +rightfully ask, is the documentation supporting such accusations? Most of the +MKULTRA "paper trail" was (allegedly) burnt at Richard Helms' order; what's +left has been censored, leaving black ink smudges wherever the names originally +appeared. Claimed mind control victims can, for the most part, only give us +testimony -- and how reliable can such testimony be, especially in light of the +fact that one purpose of MKULTRA was to induce insanity? Anyone asserting that +he was victimized by the program might well be seeking an extrinsic excuse for +his own psychopathology. If you say that you are a manufactured madman, you +were probably mad to begin with: Catch 22. + When John Marks wrote THE SEARCH FOR "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" he received +numerous letters from people insisting that they had been drugged, "waved," or +otherwise abused by the CIA or the military. Most of these communications went +directly into his crank file. Perhaps many deserved that destination; I know +of at least one that did not[94]. + Marks did, however, devote much attention to Val Orlikov, a former "patient" +of perhaps the most notorious figure in the annals of American medical crime: +Dr. Ewen ("BoB") Cameron, a CIA-funded scientist heading the Allan Memorial +Institute at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Cameron, a highly-respected +mental health researcher[95], experimented with a technique he called "psychic +driving," a brainwashing program which involved inflicting upon a subject an +endless tape loop blaring selected messages, 16-to-24 hours a day, combined +with massive electroshock and LSD. The project's "guinea pigs" were patients +who had come to Allan Memorial with relatively minor psychological complaints. +Cameron's experiments failed and his theories were discredited, which may +explain why the CIA and its apologists now feel relatively comfortable +discussing the Frankensteinian efforts at Allan Memorial, as opposed to more +successful work elsewhere. + Orlikov's testimony has received much respectful attention from those +writers who have examined MKULTRA, and correctly so. When I studied the files +at the National Security Archives, I was particularly keen to read her original +letters to John Marks, for these pages had led to the unmasking of an +especially heinous CIA project. The letters, interestingly enough, proved just +as vague, disjointed, and bizarre as similar correspondence which researchers +routinely dismiss. Orlikov can't be blamed for the hazy nature of her +recollections; a certain amount of fog is to be expected, given the nature of +the crime perpetrated against her. The important point is that her story, +ultimately, was found to be true. All of which leads me to wonder: Why did +HER claims prompt investigation when those of others prompt only dismissal? +Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that Orlikov's husband became a Canadian +Member of Parliament. Any victims of CIA experimentation who wish to be taken +seriously ought, perhaps, first make sure to marry well. + Of course, we can easily forgive previous writers and readers whose +researches into MKULTRA have been biased in favor of complacency[96]. But we +can't let this natural prejudice cripple our present investigation. Let us +examine, then, a few of the "horror stories" from the mind control literature +and highlight possible correlations to abductee testimony. + + +PALLE HARDRUP'S "GUARDIAN ANGEL" + + As mentioned previously, I have not delved much into the subject of hypnosis +in this paper -- primarily because of space and time limitations, but also +because discussions of the possibilities of hypnosis PER SE tend to cloud the +issue of its use in conjunction with the above-mentioned electronic techniques. +Obviously, however, hypnosis is a major weapon in the mind controller's +armament; in a forthcoming full-length work, I intend to deal with this subject +at much greater length. + Needless to say, one of the primary objectives of MKULTRA and related +projects was to determine whether one could hypnotically induce someone to +commit an anti-social act. This possibility remains one of the most hotly- +debated issues in hypnosis, for conventional wisdom asserts that no individual +can be hypnotized to commit an action which violates his interior moral code. +Martin Orne, editor of the presitigious INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND +EXPERIMENTAL HYPNOSIS agrees with this axiom[97], and he is in a position to +codify much of the established view on this topic. Orne, however, is a +veteran of MKULTRA, and furthermore seems to have lied -- at least in his +original communications -- to author John Marks about his witting involvement +in subproject 94[98]. While I respect much of Orne's ground-breaking work, +his pronouncements do not hold, for this layman, an Olympian unassailability. + To be sure, many other hypnosis experts, untainted by Company connections, +also discount the possibility that anti-social actions can be induced. But a +number of highly-experienced professionals -- including Milton Kline, William +Kroger, George Estabrooks, John Watkins, and Herbert Spiegel -- have argued +that such actions can, at least to some degree, be elicited by an outside +manipulator. + + Occasionally, claims of hypnotically-induced anti-social behavior find +their way into the courtroom; one such case, which led to the incarceration of +the hypnotist, was the Palle Hardrup affair. This incident occurred in +Denmark in 1951[99]. Palle Hardrup robbed a bank, killing a guard in the +process, and later claimed that he had been instructed to do so by the +hypnotist Bjorn Nielsen. Nielsen eventually confessed to having engineered +the crime as a test of his hypnotic abilities. + The most significant aspect of this incident concerns the "pose" Nielsen +adopted to work his malicious designs. During the hypnosis sessions, Nielsen +hypnotically suggested that he was Hardrup's "guardian angel," represented +by the letter X. Hardrup testified that "There is another room next door +where Nielsen and I go and talk on our own. It is there that my guardian +spirit usually comes and talks to me. Nielsen says that X has a task for me." + One of these tasks was arranging for Hardrup's girlfriend to have sex with +the hypnotist. The other tasks, he mentioned, included robbery and murder. +Nielsen convinced his victim that "X" wanted the robbery funds to be used for +worthwhile political goals. The end, Hardrup was told, justified the means. + Compare this scenario to that encountered in the typical contactee case, +in which alien "guardians" convince their victims/subjects that the encounter +will eventually serve some unspecified "higher purpose." Indeed, in my +interviews with abductees who have established a "long-term" relationship with +their visitors, I have found that some of them originally believed themselves +in contact with Hardrup-like angelic guardians. Only in recent years was the +"angel" pose discarded and the true "alien" form revealed. + Thus we have one possible means of overcoming the proposition that hypnosis +cannot induce anti-social behavior. If a hypnotist lacks scruples, and has +access to a particularly susceptible subject, he can induce a MISPERCEIVED +REALITY. Actions which we would abhor in an everyday context become acceptable +in specialized circumstances: A citizen who could never commit murder on a +surburban street might, if drafted into an army, kill on the field of battle. +In hypnosis, the mind becomes that battlefield. In the words of Dr. John +Watkins, + + We behave on the basis of our perceptions. If our perceptions + of a situation can be altered so as to cause us to misconstrue it, + or to develop a false belief, then our behavior in relation to it + will be drastically altered. It is precisely in the area of + changing perceptions that the hypnotic modality demonstrates its + most powerful effects. Hallucinations both under hypnosis, and + posthypnotic, can easily be induced in the suggestible subject. + He can be made to ignore painful stimuli, be apparently unable + to hear loud sounds, AND "SEE" INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT PRESENT + [my italics]. Moreover, attitudes and beliefs can be initiated + in him which are quite abnormal and often contrary to those + which he previously held[100]. + + If traditional hypnosis, unaided, can achieve such changes in perception, +one can only imagine the possibilities inherent in the combination of hypnotic +techniques with the psychoelectronic research previously described. + Scientists such as Orne and Milton Erickson[101] have taken issue with +Watkins' assertions. But the Hardrup case would appear to bear Watkins out. +If someone can be convinced that he, like Jeanne D'Arc, acts under the +influence of a supernatural higher power, then previously unthinkable +capabilitites may be evinced and "impossible" actions carried forth. Indeed, +when we consider the extreme personality changes -- and occasionally, the +heinous actions, elicited by leaders of certain cults, and occult groups[102], +we understand the desirability of installing a hypnotic "cover story" within a +supernatural matrix. People will do for God -- or the Devil, or the Space +Brothers -- what they would not do otherwise. + The date of the Hardrup affair corresponds to the institution of BLUEBIRD/ +ARTICHOKE; it doesn't require much imagination to see how this case could have +served as a model to the scientists researching those and subsequent projects. + + +SCREEN MEMORY + + According to declassified documents in the Marks files, a major difficulty +faced by the MKULTRA researchers concerned the "disposal problem." What to do +with the victims of CIA-sponsored electroshock, hypnosis, and drug experiment- +ation? The Company resorted to distressing, but characteristic, tactics: They +disposed of their human guinea pigs by incarcerating them in insane asylums, by +performing icepick lobotomies, and by ordering "executive actions."[103] + A more sophisticated solution had to be found. One of the goals of the +CIA's mind control efforts was the erasure of memory via hypnosis (and drugs, +electronics, lobotomies, etc.); not only would this hide what occurred during +the experimental indoctrination/programming sessions, it would prove useful in +the field. "Amnesia was a big goal," confirms Victor Marchetti, who points out +its usefulness in dealing with contract agents: "After you've done it, the +agent doesn't even know what he's done...you send him in, he does the job. +When he comes out, you clean his head out."[104] + The big problem: Despite hypnotically-induced amnesia, there would be memory +leaks -- snippets of the repressed material would arise spontaneously, in +dreams, as flashbacks, etc. A proposed solution: Give the subject a "screen +memory," a false story; thus, even if he starts to recall the material, he will +recall it incorrectly. + Even the conservative Dr. Orne notes that: + + A S [subject] who is able to develop good posthypnotic amnesia + will also respond to suggestions to remember events which did not + actually occur. On awakening, he will fail to recall the real + events of the trance and will instead recall the suggested events. + If anything, this phenomenon is easier to produce than total + amnesia, perhaps because it eliminates the subjective feeling of + an empty space in memory.[105] + + Not only would the screen memories fill in the uncomfortable blanks in the +subjects' recollection, they would protect against revelation. One fear of +the MKULTRA scientists was that a hypno-programmed individual used as, say, a +courier, could be un-programmed by another hypnotist, perhaps working for the +enemy. Thus, the MKULTRA scientists decided to instill multiple personalities +-- multiple cover stories, if you will -- to confuse any "unauthorized" +hypnotist.[106] + One case using this technique centered on an assassin named Luis Castillo, +who, after his capture in the Philippines, was extensively de-briefed and +studied by experts in the employ of the National Bureau of Investigation, that +country's equivalent to our FBI. Castillo was discovered to have had at least +FOUR separate personalities hypnotically instilled; each personality could be +triggered by a specific cue. In one state, he claimed to be Sgt. Manuel Angel +Ramirez, of the Strategic Air Tactical Command in South Vietnam; supposedly, +"Ramirez" was the illegitimate son of a certain pipe-smoking, highly-placed CIA +official whose initials were A.D.[107] Another personality claimed to be one +of John F. Kennedy's assassins. + The main hypnotist involved with this case labelled these hypnotic alter- +egos "Zombie states." The report on the case stated that "The Zombie pheno- +menon referred to here is a somnambulistic behavior displayed by the subject +in a conditioned response to a series of words, phrases, and statements, +apparently unknown to the subject during his normal waking state." + Upon Castillo's repatriation to the United States, the FBI claimed that he +had fabricated the story. In his book OPERATION MIND CONTROL, Walter Bowart +makes a convincing case against the FBI's claims. Certainly, many aspects of +the Castillo affair argue for his sincerity -- including his hypnotically- +induced insensitivity to pain[108], his maintenance of the story (or stories) +even when severly inebriated, and his apparently programmed suicide attempts. + If Castillo told the truth, as I believe he did, then he manifested both +hypnotically-induced multiple personality and pseudomemory. The former remains +controversial; the latter has been repeatedly replicated in experimental +situations[109]. + This point is vitally important for students of the abduction phenomenon. +We CANNOT assume the accuracy of abduction descriptions given during subsequent +hypnotic regression. Moreover, we cannot even assume the accuracy of spon- +taneously-arising recollections (i.e., abduction memories not elicited through +hypnotic regression). Indeed, responsible skeptics have argued that hypnotic +regression may prove inadvertently harmful, in that it may lock in place a +false remembrance. (Note, however, that other psychiatric professionals +consider hypnotic regression the best technique, however flawed, in unlocking +amnesia[110]. For my part, I maintain an ambivalent and cautious attitude +toward the use of hypnosis in abductee work.) + Granted, it is all too easy for the debunkers to cry "confabulation" to +dismiss hypnotic testimony which does not conform to our preconceptions about +the possible; I do not intend to make this same error. Whenever skeptics +offer the phenomenon of pseudomemory to rationalize abduction claims, they cite +experimental situations in which PSEUDOMEMORY WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED BY A +HYPNOTIST[111]. These experiments can not be cited as proof that an individual +abductee spontaneously conjured up a fantasy (which just happens to correspond +to the details of hundreds of similar "fantasies"). Rather, laboratory studies +of pseudomemory creation prove MY point: Pseudomemory can be induced BY +PREVIOUS HYPNOSIS[112]. + In other words, an abductee may talk of aliens -- when the reality was +something else entirely. + In correspondence with me, a noted abduction researcher wrote of an instance +in which an abductee recounted seeing a helicopter during his experience; as +the abductee testimony progressed, the helicopter turned into a UFO. During one +of the (quite few) regression sessions I attended, I heard an exactly similar +narrative. Hopkins would argue that the helicopter was a "screen memory" +hiding the awful reality of the UFO encounter. But does Occam's razor really +cut that way? Shouldn't we also consider the possibility that the object in +question really WAS a helicopter -- which the abductee was instructed to recall +as a UFO? + +THE SUPER SPY + + Among the released BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE/MKULTRA papers was the following +handwritten memorandum, unsigned and undated: + + I have developed a technic which is safe and secure (free + from international censorship). It has to do with the + conditioning of our own people. I can accomplish this as a + one-man job. + The method is the production of hypnosis by means of + simple oral medication. Then (with NO further medication) + the hypnosis is re-enforced daily during the following three + or four days. + Each individual is conditioned against revealing any + information to an enemy, even though subjected to hypnosis + or drugging. If preferable, he may be conditioned to give + FALSE information rather than NO information. + + In the margin of this document, one of Marks' assistants wrote, "Is this +Wendt?" The reference here is to G. Richard ("BoB") Wendt, a professor +employed by project CHATTER who, in 1951, led both his Naval employers and the +CIA on a mind control merry-goose-chase, when an experiment similar to that +described above failed to produce results[113]. Even if the above memorandum +DOES describe an operational failure (and the tactics described in this memo +do not seem very feasible to me), we should not rest complacent. We now know +that, in at least ONE case, more sophisticated techniques made the above +scenario a reality. + I refer to the case of Candy Jones. + Her story has filled at least one book[114] and ought, one day, to give rise +to another. Obviously, I cannot here give all the details of this fascinating +and frightening narrative. But a precis is mandatory. + Ms. Jones (born Jessica Wilcox) achieved star status as a model during +World War II, and later established her own modelling agency. An FBI man +requested her to allow her place of business to be used as a "mail drop" for +the Bureau and "another government agency" (presumably, the CIA); Candy, deeply +patriotic, accepted the proposition gladly. Toiling on the fringes of the +clandestine world, Candy eventually came into contact with a "Dr. Gilbert +Jensen," who worked, in turn, with a "Dr. Marshall Burger." (Both names are +pseudonyms.) Unknown to her, these doctors had been employed as "spy- +chiatrists" by the CIA. Using a job interview as a cover, Jensen induced +hypnosis, found Candy to be a particularly responsive subject -- and proceeded +to use her as other scientists would use a rhesus monkey. She became a test +subject for the CIA's mind control program. + Her job -- insofar as it is known -- was to provide a clandestine courier +service[115]. Estabrooks had outlined the basic idea years earlier: Induce +hypnosis via a disguised technique, give the messenger information to +memorize, hypnotically "erase" the message from conscious memory, and install +a post-hypnotic suggestion that the message (now buried within the sub- +conscious) will be brought forth only upon a specific cue. If the hypnotist +can create such a courier, ultra-security can be guaranteed; even torture won't +cause the messenger to tell what he knows -- because he doesn't know that he +knows it[116]. According to the highly respected Dr. Milton Kline, "Evidence +really does exist that has not been published" proving that Estabrooks' perfect +secret agent could be successfully evoked[117]. + Candy was one such success story. Success, in this context, means that she +could be -- and was -- brutally tortured and abused while running assignments +for the CIA. All the MKULTRA toys were brought into play: hypnosis, drugs, +conditioning -- and electronics. Using these devices, Jensen and Burger +managed to: + +-- install a "duplicate personality," + +-- create amnesia of both the programming sessions and the field assignments, + +-- turn Candy into a vicious, hate-mongering bigot, the better to isolate her + from the rest of humanity (previously, her associates considered her + noteworthy for her racial tolerance; her modelling agency was one of the + first to break the color barrier), and + +-- program her to commit suicide at the end of her usefulness to the Agency. + + The programming techniques used on her were flawed. She breached security +when she married famed New York radio personality John Nebel[118], who, using +hypnotic regression, elicited the long-repressed truth. Eventually, the +"Other Candy" was bade farewell, and the programming broken. + Skeptics might find Candy's story as incredible as the abduction accounts-- +after all, an amateur had conducted her hypnotic regression, and the possi- +bility of confabulation always lurks. Nevertheless, I feel that the veracity +of her narrative has been established beyond reasonable doubt. In her hypnotic +regression sessions, she recalled being programmed at a government-connected +institute in northern California -- which, as John Marks' investigators later +proved, was indeed heavily involved with government-funded brainwashing +research[119]. Marks himself believes Candy's story -- not least, because the +details of the programming methods used on her were substantiated by documents +released AFTER her book was published[120]. Interviews with Milton Kline, +Dr. Frances Jakes, John Watkins and others provided the testimony that the +programming of Candy Jones was feasible -- and Deep Trance substantiated the +story[121]. + Recently, the case has received important "indirect" confirmation: +Investigators interested in follow-up research have filed FOIA requests with +the CIA for all papers relating to Candy Jones. The agency admits that it has +a substantial file on her, but refuses to release any part of it. If her tale +is false, then why would the CIA be so reluctant to deliver the information? +Indeed, why would they have a file in the first place?[122] + The final confirmation of Candy's tale requires a revelation -- one which I +make with some trepidation, even though the individual named is dead. + "Marshall Burger" was really Dr. William Kroger[123]. + Kroger, long associated with the espionage establishment, had written the +following in 1963: + + ...a good subject can be hypnotized to deliver secret + information. The memory of this message could be covered + by an artificially-induced amnesia. In the event that he + should be captured, he naturally could not remember that he + had ever been given the message...however, since he had + been given a post-hypnotic suggestion, the message would be + subject to recall through a specific cue.[124] + + If Candy confabulated her story, why did she name this particualr scientist, +who, writing theoretically in 1963, predicted the subsequent events in her +life?[125] + After L'AFFAIR JONES, Kroger transferred his base of operations to UCLA -- +specifically, to the Neuropsychiatric Institute run by Dr. Louis Jolyon West, +an MKULTRA veteran. There he wrote HYPNOSIS AND BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION[126], +with a preface by Martin Orne (another MKULTRA veteran) and H.J. Eysenck (still +another MKULTRA veteran). The finale of this opus contains chilling hints +of the possibilites inherent in combining hypnosis with ESB, implants, and +conditioning -- though Kroger is careful to point out that "we are not +concerned that man might be conditioned by rewards and punishments through +electronic brain stimulation to be controlled like robots."[127] HE may not +be concerned -- but perhaps WE ought to be. + The control of Candy Jones gives us much information useful to our "alien +abduction" hypothesis. + 1. Her torture sessions -- inflicted during her programming by her CIA +masters, and on missions by as-yet mysterious persons -- seem strikingly like +the otherwise senselessly painful "examinations" allegedly conducted aboard +alien spacecraft. + 2. Her personality shifts roughly parallel those experienced by certain UFO +abductees. + 3. Despite her brutalization, she remained "loyal" to Drs. Jensen and +Burger. This bewildering behavior reminds me of my first abductee interviews, +during which I heard ghastly descriptions of UFO torture sessions -- followed +by protestations of limitless love for the alien pain-mongers. + 4. Like many abductees, Candy had to attend regular "conditioning" sessions. +Repeated exposure to the programming is necessary to effect continuous control. + 5. To maintain their hammerlock on her mind, Candy's handlers programmed her +to remain isolated. Specifically, they instilled a deep paranoia toward other +human beings; "outsiders" were probable enemies, out to use or abuse her. I +have seen this pattern consistently in my own work with abductees[128]. Skep- +tics would argue that unreasonable abductee fears probably indicate paranoid +schizophrenia--one symptom of which can, indeed, be hallucinatory experiences. +But most abductees are easily hypnotized, while paranoid schizophrenics are +extremely difficult to "put under," according to Dr. Edward Simpson-Kallas, a +psychiatrist with wide experience in the area of forensic hypnosis[129]. If, +however, those unreasonable fears had been hypnotically induced, the contra- +diction is resolved. + 6. Candy was the product of an unhappy childhood, hence her propensity +toward multiple personality[130]. Many of the "repeater" abductees I have +interviewed had similarly depressing family histories[131]. + 7. The story of Candy Jones also has what we might call a "negative +relevance" to the abduction accounts. Because the Controllers did not +establish a hypnotic cover story, or pseudomemory, the true facts of the case +managed to percolate into her conscious mind. No matter how thorough the post- +hypnotic amnesia, leaks will occur -- hence the need for a false memory, to +fill the gap of recollection. The CIA learns from its mistakes. Candy's +hypno-programming broke down in early 1973 -- the year the "alien disguise" +became (if my hypothesis proves correct) standard operating procedure[132]. +(Milton Kline accepted the Candy Jones story, but considered the job amateurish +and inconsistent with the best work done at that time[133]. Perhaps the major +fault was the lack of a pseudomemory cover story?) + + +BASES OF SUSPICION + + "Underground base" rumors are as hot as jalapenos in the UFO field right +now, and several of these stories involve abductions. + For example, a sideshow of the famous Bentwaters UFO case involves the +abduction of an airman named Larry Warren to an underground cavity beneath the +military base. There, while in what he later described as "a bit of a drugged +state," he saw aliens and human beings -- military figures -- working side-by- +side[134]. + I have spoken to another abductee, Nancy Wright, who was allegedly taken to +an underground chamber ten miles north of Edwards AFB, California. As this +was a multiple-witness event, and Ms. Wright has not attempted to capitalize on +the story for financial gain, I tend to credit her story[135]. According to +abduction researcher Miranda Parks, an elderly couple living in the vicinity +was also abducted in an exactly similar fashion[136]. + In 1979, Paul Bennewitz and Leo Sprinkle researched a particularly +controversial abduction involving a young woman (name unrevealed) who was +apparently taken to a facility where aliens processed fluids and body parts +from a cattle mutilation. This investigation seems to have led to the +government harassment of Bennewitz, in which some form of mind control (or, as +I have previously referred to it, "electronic GASLIGHT") may have played a +part[137]. + How do we account for these tales of alleged alien skullduggery carried out +in conjunction with the military? I, for one, cannot credit the generally- +unsubstantiated tales of "cosmic conspiracy" now promulgated by ex-intelligence +agents such as John Lear and William Cooper. While I cannot assert insincerity +on the part of these men, I often wonder if they have been used as conduits -- +witting or unwitting -- in a sophisticated disinformation scheme. + A simpler, though no less chilling, explanation for the "base" abductions +may be found in the story of Dr. Louis Jolyon ("boB") West, now notorious for +his participation in MKULTRA experiments with LSD[138]. Inspired by VIOLENCE +AND THE BRAIN (a book by Drs. Frank ("Bob") Ervin and Vernon H. ("BoB") Mark +which ascribed inner city turmoil to a "genetic defect" within rebellious +blacks), West proposed, in 1973, a Center for the Study and Reduction of +Violence, where potentially violent individuals could be dealt with +prophylactically. ["I was cured, all right." - A CLOCKWORK ORANGE -jpg] + And who were these individuals? According to West's proposal, the note- +worthy factors indicating a violent predisposition were "sex (male), age +(youthful), ethnicity (black) and urbanicity." How to deal with them? "...by +implanting tiny electrodes deep within the brain, electrical activity can be +followed in areas that cannot be measured from the surface of the scalp...it is +even possible to record bioelectrical changes in the brains of freely-moving +subjects, through the use of remote monitoring techniques..." By monitoring +the subjects' EEGs remotely, potentially violent episodes could be identified. + For our purposes, the most significant aspect of this proposal had to do +with location. In a secret communication to Dr. J.M. ("BoB") Stubblebine, +director of the California State Department of Health (fortunately, this +missive was "leaked" to the public), West disclosed that he intended to house +his Center in an abandoned Nike missile base, whose location was accessible +yet relatively remote. "The site is securely fenced," West wrote. "Compara- +tive studies could be carried out there, in an isolated but convenient +location, of experimental model programs, for the alteration of undesirable +behavior."[139] + Public outcry stopped these plans. But was this scheme truly eliminated? +Or was it merely modified, stripped (temporarily) of its overtly racial +overtones and relocated to some less-accessible spot? + One thing is certain: A CIA "spy-chiatrist" favored secret behavior control +experimentation in a remote military installation. Perhaps someone within the +espionage establishment's mind-modification divisions still thinks highly of +the idea. If so, the disposal problem would once again rear its ugly head, +should "visitors" to these installations ever reappear in outside society. +Again, a hypno-programmed cover story -- the less believable, the better -- +would prove invaluable. + + +THE SCANDINAVIAN CONNECTION + + Many books have been written about abductees, yet few exist about the +victims of mind control. I cannot understand this situation; the reality of +UFOs is still controversial, yet the existence of mind control was verified +in two (heavily compromised) congressional investigations and in thousands of +FOIA documents. Nevertheless, the abductees find many a sympathetic ear, while +those few who dare to proclaim themselves the victims of known government +programs rarely find anyone to hear them out. Our prejudices on this score are +regrettable, for if we listened to the "controllees" we would hear many details +strikingly similar to those mentioned by UFO abductees. + Two cases in point: Martti Koski and Robert Naeslund. + Koski, a Finnish citizen, claims to have been a victim of mind control +experimentation while visiting Canada. Shortly after his experience began, he +attempted to broadcast his situation to the world and draw attention to his +plight. Few listened. Many of his details were bizarre, and not being a +native speaker of English, he could not express himself convincingly to those +he approached for help. Yet many aspects of his story correspond closely to +known details of MKULTRA and related programs. + Naeslund, a Swedish citizen, tells a similar story. Moreover, his claims +were backed by special evidence: X-rays revealed an implant in his brain. +Naeslund actually went to the extreme of having his implant tested by +electronic technicians employed by Hewlett-Packard. A Greek surgeon performed +the necessary trepanation to remove the device. + Many aspects of the Koski and Naeslund stories correspond to my hypothesis. +Koski, for example, was at one point told that the doctors afflicting him were +actually "aliens from Sirius." At another point, he was led to believe that +he was under direction of "the Lord." (As I previously indicated, manipulation +of religious imagery could help induce anti-social behavior; the subject's +super-ego can be nullified if he believes that he follows commands from on +high. Such manipulation may explain the more bizarre aspects of Betty +Andreasson Luca's abduction[140].) + Naeslund's implant was originally placed through his nasal cavity. He first +realized that something terrible had happened to him after an experience of +missing time, followed by an INEXPLICABLE NOSEBLEED. + This detail will be instantly familiar to anyone who has studied abductions; +I have encountered it in my own conversations with abductees. For an excellent +example in the UFO literature, I refer the reader to the case of Susan Ransted, +as detailed in Kevin D. Randle's THE UFO CASEBOOK[141]; the background of +alleged contactee Diane Tessman is also noteworthy in this regard[142]. +Intriguingly, I have located a reference in the open literature to the use, in +animal study, of nasally-implanted electrodes for the measurement of electro- +magnetic radiation effects[143]. + There are other claimed mind control victims bearing evidence of implants; +note, especially, the fascinating case of James Petit, a CIA-connected pilot +and alleged brainwashing alumnus; X-rays of his cranium have revealed abductee- +style implants -- fitting, perhaps, since his body bears abductee-style scars. +[144] Conversely, certain abductees will, if allowed a thorough and sympa- +thetic hearing, deliver testimony strongly agreeing with Koski's narrative. + +HELICOPTERS AND DISKS + + The bizarre story of Rex Niles and his sister (not named in news accounts) +may shed interesting light on a variety of abductee cases, particularly that +of Betty and Barney Hill[145]. Niles, the high-rolling owner of a Woodland +Hills defense subcontracting firm (Rex Rep) was fingered by authorities +investigating defense industry kickbacks. He became an extraordinarily +cooperative witness in the investigation -- until he was targeted by his +enemies, who allegedly used psychoelectronics as harassment. + The following excerpt from the LOS ANGELES TIMES article on Niles is +particularly compelling: + + He [Niles] produced testimony from his sister, a Simi + Valley woman who swears that helicopters have repeatedly + circled her home. An engineer measured 250 watts of + microwaves in the atmosphere outside Niles' house and + found a RADIOACTIVE DISK UNDERNEATH THE DASH OF HIS CAR + [my italics]. + A former high school friend, Lyn Silverman, claimed + that her home computer went haywire when Niles stepped + close to it. + + No aliens in this story -- yet how similar it is to tales of alien +abduction! The low-flying helicopters, of course, are frequently reported +by abduction victims -- the Betty Andreasson Luca case provides the best- +known example[146]. The haywire electronics equipment is also frequently +encountered in putative abduction cases; I have spoken (independently) to +three women who claimed to have been able to disturb or shut off televisions +and stereos simply by walking past the devices; one woman even claimed she +had switched off her TV simply by pointing at it. + But the radioactive disc is especially intriguing. As former FBI agent +Ted Gunderson recently explained to my associate Alexander Constantine, +magnetic radioactive discs have long been used by the clandestine services as +cancer-inducing "silent killers" -- i.e., as tools of assassination. Not only +that. The disc calls to mind one little-remembered detail of the Hill case -- +the dozen-or-so circular "shiny spots," each the size of a silver dollar, found +on the trunk of her car directly after the abduction. A compass needle reacted +wildly when placed near these spots. Could they have marked the location where +an electromagnetic or radioactive device, similar to that found by Niles, was +placed on the car? (Such a device might have been held to the spot magnetic- +ally, hence the circular impressions.) If so, then the disorienting EMR could +have helped induce the Hills' "UFO sighting." + + +THE MILITARY AND MIND CONTROL + + Some time ago, I attended hypnotic regression sessions in which the +subject -- a claimed UFO abductee -- recalled undergoing a mysterious "brain +operation" at a veteran's hospital in California. The operation was performed +by human beings, not aliens. Interestingly, this same hospital was mentioned +in two other cases I encountered. These other claims were not made by +abductees, but by people alleged to have been victims of mind control experi- +mentation. + One of these claimants, a former Navy SEAL who undertook numerous dangerous +missions in Vietnam, favorably impressed me with the wealth of detail in his +story[147]. This individual -- I've taken to calling him "the trained SEAL"-- +had received specialized combat training at a military base in California; he +claims that at one point during this training he was drugged, hypnotized, +possibly placed under some form of electronic control, and subjected to the +extremes of pain/pleasure operant conditioning. One peculiar detail of his +story concerns the "reward" aspect of the conditioning: When properly +acquiescent, he was given unlimited sexual access to a woman who, the SEAL +avers, was herself the victim of brainwashing. + Unbelievable as this last claim may seem, I found it oddly resonant when I +later interviewed a prominent abductee in the Southern California area, who +bravely offered me details on a puzzling, albeit quite delicate, incident in +her past. Still an attractive woman, she recalled for me -- indeed, seemed +strangely compelled to describe -- an early love affair with a young soldier +training at a military base near her home. She cannot recall the soldier's +name. All she remembers is that one day he started LIVING AT HER FAMILY'S +HOUSE; she has no memory of how the arrangement began, and her parents have +never felt comfortable discussing the matter. Although unattracted to this +soldier, she felt compelled to become intimate with him, adopting a pliant, +obeisant attitude that was quite out of character for her. Later, the soldier +went on to covert missions in Vietnam. + Of course, a young person's psycho-sexual development is never smooth, and +the incident related above may merely have represented one peculiarly upsetting +bump in that notoriously rough road. Still, some of the details of this story +-- particularly the parents' attitude, the woman's personality shift, and her +subsequent memory lapses -- are striking, and I treat with respect the abduc- +tee's intuition that this minor enigma in her personal history could, if +properly understood, shed light on her later "missing time" experiences. + Could the "trained SEAL" have been right? Was there, IS there, a coterie +of hypno-programmed soldiers conducting particularly hazardous missions? And +do the programmers have at their disposal a "ladies' auxiliary," so to speak, +of hypnotized camp followers? + If the SEAL's story stood alone, skeptics could easily dismiss it +(provided they did not sit, as I did, face-to-face with the story's teller, +listening to all the grisly and unsettling details). But other veterans have +added their voices to this grim tale. Daniel Sheehan, of the Christic +Institute, claims that his organization has spoken to half-a-dozen individuals +with narratives similar to my SEAL informant. All had received "processing," +so to speak, within the context of standard military training; after pro- +gramming and specialized combat instruction by mercenaries, the recruits were +placed "on hold," to be used as situations arose -- and some of those +situations occurred within the United States[148]. + Walter Bowart began his own researches into mind control by placing an ad in +SOLDIER-OF-FORTUNE-style publications, asking for correspondence from veterans +who experienced inexplicable lapses in memory or strange behavior modification +techniques while serving in Vietnam; he received over 100 replies. Bowart +devoted an entire chapter to one of these respondents -- an Air Force veteran +named David, who ended his four-year tour of duty recalling only that he had +spent the time "having fun, skin diving, laying on the beach, collecting +shells...It never dawned on me until later that I must have DONE something +while I was in the service." (An obvious example of screen memory.) He was +also "assigned" a girlfriend whose name he cannot now recall, despite the +length and deep intimacy of the affair[149]. The parallels to the SEAL's story +and the abductee's account should be obvious. + We even have a confession, of sorts, from a scientist who specialized in one +aspect of this sort of training. Lt. Commander Thomas ("Bob") Narut, of the +U.S. Naval Hospital at the NATO headquarters in Naples, Florida, admitted +during a lecture in Oslo that recruits in Naples underwent CLOCKWORK-ORANGE- +style behavior modification sessions. Trainees would be strapped into chairs +with their eyelids clamped open while watching films of industrial accidents +and African circumcision ceremonies -- films frequently used by psychologists +as a means of inducing stress in experimental situations. Unlike the +protagonist in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, who learned revulsion at the sight of +violence, Narut's soldiers were taught to accept and enjoy bloodshed, to view +it with equanimity. Similar techniques were used to dehumanize potential +enemies. Graduates of this program became, in Narut's words, "hit men and +assassins," to be placed in American embassies throughout the world. + When questioned by reporters about these claims, the American government +denied the story; Narut -- after a long incommunicado period and apparent +coercion -- later explained to journalists that he had merely spoken +theoretically. If so, why did he originally describe the behavior modification +procedure as an ongoing program?[150] + And while it may seem frivolous to return to the subject of abductions after +examining such grim data, I should remind the reader of the many abduction +accounts in which abductees recall being forced to watch certain stress- +inducing motion pictures. The aliens, it seems, have learned a few lessons +from Dr. Narut. + Narut, of course, concentrated on selective programming of individual +American soldiers; on the other side of the mind control spectrum, Defense +Department specialists have also concentrated on methods to render entire +enemy battalions "combat ineffective." Electromagnetic weaponry, intended to +wipe out the aggression of the enemy, is the province of DARPA, under the +direction of Dr. Jack ("Bob" Dobbs) Verona. These projects remain fairly +mysterious; we do know, however, that one operation, SLEEPING BEAUTY, employed +the services of Dr. Michael ("BoB") Persinger, a scientist who has expressed +interesting views regarding UFOs. + Persinger discovered a method of using ELF waves to induce the brain's MAST +cells to release histamine; should a battlefield commander wish to subject his +enemy to mass bouts of vomiting, Persinger's trick could do the job even +faster than a Tobe Hooper movie. The method works on animals. "The question," +writes mind control researcher Larry Collins, "is how to get from point A to +point B without violating one of the most rigorous commandments of Government +ethics -- thou shalt not conduct experiments like that on human beings."[151] + If Collins had studied the record a little more carefully, he might realize +that the government hasn't always regarded this commandment as something +graven in stone. As Milton Kline put it: + + Ethical factors involved in most research would preclude + having positive results. Those ethical factors don't always + hold with government research. THE RESEARCH WHICH HAS GIVEN + REALLY POSITIVE RESULTS HAS NOT BEEN LIMITED BY ETHICAL + CONSTRAINTS[152]. [my italics] + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Why, the skeptics would ask, would +anyone attempt to create a "Manchurian Candidate" when the military services, +using entirely conventional means, can create a "Rambo"? There have always +been recruits for even the most hazardous duties; what need of hypnosis? + The need, in fact, is absolute. + The modern battlefield has little place for the traditional soldier. +Advanced weaponry requires an increasing level of technical sophistication, +which in turn requires a cool-headed operator. But the all-too-human +combatant -- though capable of extraordinary acts of courage under the most +stressful conditions imaginable -- does not possess inexhaustible reserves of +SANG-FROID. Eventually, breakdowns will occur. Per-capita psychiatric +casualties have increased dramatically in each successive American conflict. +As Richard Gabriel, the excellent historian of the role of psychiatry in +warfare, writes: + + Modern warfare has become so lethal and so intense that + only the already insane can endure it...Modern war requiring + continuous combat will increase the degree of fatigue on the + soldier to heretofore unknown levels. Physical fatigue -- + especially the lack of sleep -- will increase the rate of + psychiatric casualties enormously. Other factors -- high + rates of indirect fire, night fighting, lack of food, constant + stress, large numbers of casualties -- will ensure that the + number of psychiatric casualties will reach disastrous pro- + portions. And the number of casualties will overburden the + medical structure to the point of collapse. + The ability to treat psychiatric casualties will all but + disappear. There will be no safe forward areas in which to + treat soldiers debilitated by mental collapse. The technology + of modern war has made such locations functionally obsolete...[153] + + According to Gabriel, the military intends to meet this challenge by +creating "the chemical soldier," a designer-drugged zombie in fighting man's +uniform: + + On the battlefields of the future we will witness a true + clash of ignorant armies, armies ignorant of their own + emotions and even of the reasons for which they fight. + Soldiers on all sides will be reduced to fearless chemical + automatons who fight simply because they can do nothing + else...Once the chemical genie is out of the bottle, the + full range of human mental and physical actions become + targets for chemical control...Today it is already possible + by chemical or electrical stimulation to increase the + aggression levels of the human being by stimulating the + amygdala, a section of the brain known to control aggression + and rage. Such "human potential engineering" is already a + partial reality and the necessary technical knowledge + increases every day[154]. + + While this passage speaks of drugs and electronics, we can safely assume +that the planners of battle would not refrain from using any other promising +technique. + Gabriel writes primarily of large-scale battle scenarios, but based on +his information, we can fairly deduce that the mind-controlled soldier will +also play a role in the surgical strike, the covert operation, the infiltration +behind enemy lines by units of the Special Forces. On such missions, United +States personnel have increasingly relied on torture as a means of interro- +gation and intimidation[155], and as such barbarism becomes standard procedure +the American fighting man of the future will need to find within himself +unprecedented reserves of brutality. Will the average recruit, culled from the +nation's suburbs and reared on traditional ideals, possess such reserves? + Vietnam proved that the soldier, despite a barrage of propaganda intended to +cloud his discernment, will sense the difference between fighting for legit- +imate defense interests and fighting to protect political hegemony. To +forestall this realization, or to render it irrelevant, military planners must +withdraw the human combatant and replace him with a new species of warrior. +The soldier of the future will not discern; he will merely do. He will not be +a butcher; he will be the butcher's KNIFE -- a tool among tools, thoughtless +and effective. + And it is my contention that to create this soldier of the future, the +controllers will need a continuing program, one designed to test each new +method and combination of methods for conquering the human mind. + One primary goal of this program must include expanding the human capacity +for stress and violence. Subjects enrolled in such experimental procedures +will experience pain, and will learn to accept the pain. Eventually, they will +learn to inflict it, without remorse or even remembrance. The nation who first +creates this new soldier will possess a decisive advantage on the "conven- +tional" battlefield -- as will the nation which first develops a means of using +mass mind control techniques to disable entire enemy platoons. [And to placate +whole civilian populations, both those of the enemy and those at home. -jpg] +This paramount military necessity is the reason why I will never believe any +unconvincing reassurances that our nation's clandestine scientists have fore- +gone or will forego research into behavior modification. This research will +never be mere history. What's past is present, and today's covert experiment- +ation will become tomorrow's basic training. + A prototype of the future warrior may already be with us. The Navy SEAL +I interviewed spoke in horrifying detail of dismemberment without emotion, of +rape as routine, of killing without affect. And then FORGETTING THAT HE HAD +KILLED. Even years later, he could not recall the stories behind many of the +wounds on his own body. He claims that whenever he would need the services of +the veteran's hospital, doctors would re-hypnotize him shortly after his +admission, while a physician specifically cleared for such work would examine +his medical history, which was highly classified and kept under lock and key. + According to the SEAL's testimony, his memory block cracked little by +little, as a result of events too complex to recount here. Finally, years +after Vietnam, he was able to remember what he did. + Amnesia was a blessing. + + IV. Abductions + + Press and public now regard abductees as tony curiosities, yet science, for +the most part, still banishes their tales to the domain of the damned, as +Charles Fort defined damnation. So too with claimed victims of mind control. +The Voice of Authority tells us that MKULTRA belongs to history; like Hasdrubal +and Hitler, it threatened once, but no more. Anyone insisting otherwise must +be silenced by glib rationalization and selective inattention. + Yet these two topics -- UFO abductions and mind control -- have more in +common than their mutual ostracization. The data overlap. If we could chart +these phenomena on a Venn diagram, we would see a surprisingly large inter- +section between the two circles of information. It is this overlap I seek to +address. + Note, however, that I can NOT address all the other interesting and +important issues raised by the UFO abduction experience. For exmaple, I have +written, admittedly rather vaguely, of nasal implants reported by abductees -- +the sort of detail which might place an account in the "high strangeness" +category, and of course, a detail central to my thesis. But what percentage +of the percipients speak of such implants? A truly scientific analysis would +provide a figure. Unfortunately, I haven't the resources to compile a +sufficiently large abductee sample from which one could draw statistics. Nor +can I make an over-arching qualitative analysis, measuring the value of "high +strangeness" reports against other abductee claims. All I can do is note the +available literature, and leave the reader to wonder, as I do, whether the +compilers of that literature concentrated on exceptional cases or were biased +in favor of the less fantastic abductee accounts. I have supplemented readings +of the abduction literature with my own interviews with percipients -- which, +since abductees tend to know other abductees, can give a surprisingly wide view +of the phenomenon. This view has been broadened still further by my talks and +correspondence with other members of the UFO community. + Of course, we must recognize the difference between testimony and proof. No +one can state definitively that abduction reports have a basis in objective +reality (however misperceived). Ultimately, all we have are stories. Some of +these stories may be of questionable veracity; others may be contaminated by +investigator bias; many are insufficiently detailed. No one research paper can +resolve all abduction controversies, and many necessary battles must be fought +on other fields. + Still, the testimony won't go away -- and we certainly have enough to allow +for comparisons. I maintain that an unprejudiced overview of abduction reports +in the popular press and the less-familiar material on mind control will +demonstrate a striking correlation. Once other abduction researchers have been +educated in the ways of MKULTRA (and this paper is intended as an introductory +text) they may note a similar pattern. If so, we can then begin to write a +revisionist history of the phenomenon. + The abduction enigma contains within it sub-mysteries that slide into the +mind control scenario with surprising ease, even elegance -- mysteries which +fit the E.T. hypothesis as uncomfortably as a size 10 foot fits into a size 8 +shoe. As we have seen, the MKULTRA thesis explains the reports of abductee +intracerebral implants (particularly reports involving nosebleeds), unusual +scars, "telepathic" communication (i.e., externally induced intracerebral +voices) concurrent with or following the abduction encounter, allegations that +some abductees hear unusual sound effects (similar to those created by the +hemi-synch and cognate devices), haywire electronic devices in abductee homes, +personality shifts, "training films," manipulation of religious imagery, and +missing time. Needless to say, the thesis of clandestine government experi- +mentation readily accounts for abductee claims of human beings "working" with +the aliens, and for the government harassment that plays so prominent a role in +certain abductee reports. + Let's look at some more correlations. + + According to Hopkins, "The aliens said 'Fine. Very good.' They took the +gun from him; the man [presumably, the captive] got up, walked away, dis- +appeared, and they went on to the next thing." Obviously, this little drama +had been staged -- a test of some sort. + I submit that this surreal incident is incomprehensible as either an +example of alien incursion or of "Klass-ical" confabulation. The scenario +described here EXACTLY parallels numerous experiments in the hypnotic induction +of anti-social action as revealed both in the standard hypnosis literature and +in declassified ARTICHOKE/MKULTRA documents. For example, compare Hopkins' +account to the following, in which Ludwig Mayer, a prominent German hypnosis +researcher, describes a classic experiment in the hypnotic induction of +criminal action: + + I gave a revolver to an elderly and readily suggestible + man whom I had just hypnotized. The revolver had just been + loaded by Mr. H. with a percussion cap. I explained to + [the subject], while pointing to Mr. H., that Mr. H. was a + very wicked man whom he should shoot to kill. With great + determination he took the revolver and fired a shot directly + at Mr. H. Mr. H. fell down pretending to be wounded. I + then explained to my subject that the fellow was not yet + quite dead, and that he should give him another bullet, + which he did without further ado[167]. + + Of course, if a conservative hypnosis specialist were asked to comment on +the above account, he would quickly point out that hypnotic suggestions which +work in an experimental situation would not easily succeed outside the lab- +oratory; on some level, the subject will probably sense whether or not he's +playing the game for real[168]. Similarly, a conservative abduction researcher +would, in reviewing Hopkins' material, emphasize the problems inherent in using +testimony derived during regression, where the threat of confabulation lurks. +I'll concede both arguments -- for the moment -- only to insist that they are +beside the point. The matter of primary importance, the sticking point which +neither Klass nor Hopkins can comfortably confront, is the convergence of +detail between Mayer's hypnosis experiment and the testing event related by +Hopkins' abductee. WHY ARE THESE TWO STORIES SO SIMILAR? Did the good Dr. +Mayer take pupils from Sirius?[169]. + Hopkins says he knows of other instances in which abductees found themselves +in similar crucibles. So do I. + One person I spoke to can remember (SANS hypnosis) being handed a gun inside +a ziplock baggy and receiving instructions that she will have to use this +weapon "on a job." Early in my interviews with her (and with no prompting from +me) she recited an apparent cue drilled into her consciousness by the "enti- +ties" (as she calls them): "When you see the light, do it tonight," followed by +the command, "Execute." (One can only speculate as to how such commands would +be used in the field; we will discuss later the use of photovoltaic hypnotic +induction.) Though her personal feelings toward firearms are decidedly +negative, she vivdly describes periods in her "everyday" life when she feels an +uncharacteristic, yet overpowering urge to be near a gun -- a quasi-sexual +desire to pick one up and touch the metal[170]. + She is not alone. Another has been so affected by gun fever that he became +a security guard, just to be near the things[171]. The abductees I have spoken +to connect this sudden surge of Ramboism to the UFO experience. But I suggest +that the UFO experience may be merely a cover story for another type of +training entirely. + One of the primary goals of BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, and MKULTRA was to +determine whether mind control could be used to faciliate "executive action"-- +i.e., assassination[172]. + It isn't difficult to imagine the media's reaction if a public figure were +murdered by someone acting at the behest of the "space brothers." Who would +dare to speak of conspiracy under such circumstances? The hidden controllers +could choose a myth structure that conform's to the abductee's personality, +then pose as higher beings, who would whisper violence into the ear of the +percipient. Using this ruse, the trick that scientists such as Ludwig Mayer +could perform in the lab might now be accomplished in the field. As +Estabrooks' associate Jack Tracktir (professor of hypnotherapy at Baylor +University) explained to John Marks, anti-social acts can be induced with +"no conscience involved" once the proper pretext has been created[173]. + + +"THEY WILL THINK IT'S FLYING SAUCERS" + + Jenny Randles contributes an anecdote from Great Britain which dovetails +nicely with this hypothesis. + In 1965, "Margary" (a pseudonym) lived in Birmingham with her husband, who +one night told her to prepare for a "shock and a test." As Randles describes +what she calls a "rogue case": + + They got into his car and drove off, although her memory + of the trip became hazy and confused and she does not know + where they went. Then she was in a room that was dimly lit + and there were people standing around a long table or flat + bed. She was out on it and seemed "drugged" and unable to + resist. The most memorable of the men was tall and thin with + a long nose and white beard. He had thick eyebrows and + supposedly said to Margary, "Remember the eyebrows, honey." + A strange medical examination, using odd equipment, was + performed on her. + + Both the husband and the scientists, using (apparently) hypnotic techniques, +flooded her mind with images that, she was told, would be understood only in +the future. According to Randles, "At one point one of the 'examiners' in the +room said to Margary in a tone that made it seem as if he were amused, "THEY +WILL THINK IT'S FLYING SAUCERS." The husband also revealed that he had a +second identity. After the abduction, this husband (am I going too far to +assume his employment with MI6 or some cognate agency?) left, never to be seen +again[174]. Margary did not recall the abduction until 1978. + This affair can only baffle a researcher who insists on fitting all +abduction accounts into the ET hypothesis; once we free ourselves from that +set of assumptions, explanations come easily. I interpret this incident as a +case in which the controllers applied the flying saucer cover story sloppily, +or to an insufficiently receptive subject. If my thesis is correct, the UFO +"hypnotic hoax" technique would still have been fairly new in 1965, particular- +ly outside the United States; perhaps the manipulators hadn't yet got the hang +of it. The odd comment about the scientist's eyebrows may refer to an item of +disguise donned for the occasion. The unscrupulous hypnotist, unsure about his +ability to induce an impenetrable amnesia -- and mindful of the price paid by +his forerunners in mesmeric criminality[175] -- would understandably want to +hedge his bets; by indulging in the British penchant for theatrics, he could +further protect his anonymity. + A similar incident was brought to my attention by researcher Robert Durant. +The relevant excerpt of his letter follows: + + Now I want to turn to a case that I have been investigating + for several months. The subject is an abductee. Standard + abduction scenario. Twice regressed under hypnosis, the first + time by a well-known abduction researcher, the second time by + a psychologist with parapsychology connections. + In the course of many hours of listening to the subject, I + discovered that she has had close personal contact over a long + period of time with several individuals who have federal + intelligence connections. She was hypnotized many years ago + as part of a TV program devoted to hypnosis. Her abductions + began shortly after she attended several long sessions at a + laboratory where, ostensibly, she was being tested for ESP + abilities. Two other people who were "tested" at this same + laboratory have also had abductions. All three were told by + the lab to join a local UFO group. During her abductions, the + principal alien spoke to the subject in the English language + in a normal manner, not via telepathy. She recognized the + voice, which was at one time that of her very close friend of + yesteryear who was then and is now employed by the CIA. The + other voice was that of an individual who works in Washington, + has what I will call very strong federal connections as well + as a finger in every ufological pie, and who just happened to + bump into her at the aforementioned laboratory. He also + anticipated, in the course of telephone conversations, her + abductions. When the subject confronted him about this and + the voice, he claimed to be psychic. (!)[176] + + The "ESP" connection is suggestive; the MKULTRA documents betray an +astonishing interest on the part of the intelligence agencies in matters +parapsychological. + Some researchers would object that examples such as this are rare; most +abductions contain no such overt indications of intelligence involvement. +But have investigators looked for them? As mentioned in the introduction, +a false dichotomy limits much ufological thought; as long as the abduction +argument swings between the ET hypothesis and purely psychological theories, +researchers will not recognize the relevance of certain key items of back- +ground data. + +GLIMPSES OF THE CONTROLLERS + + In an interview with me, a northern-California abducteee -- call him "Peter" +-- reported an experience which was conducted NOT by a small grey alien, but by +a human being. The percipient called this man a "doctor." He gave a descrip- +tion of this individual, and even provided a drawing. + Some time after I gathered this information, a southern-California abductee +told me her story -- which included a description of this very same "doctor." +The physical details were so strikingly similar as to erase coincidence. This +woman is a leading member of a Los Angeles-based UFO group; three other women +in this group report abduction encounters with the same individual[177]. + Perhaps those three women were fantasists, attaching themselves to another's +narrative. But my northern informant never met these people. Why did he +describe the same "doctor"? + One of the abductees I have dealt with insisted, under hypnosis, that her +abduction experience brought her to a certain house in the Los Angeles area. +She was able to provide directions to the house, even though she had no +conscious memory of ever being there. I later learned that this house is +indeed occupied by a scientist who formerly (and perhaps currently) conducted +clandestine research on mind control technology. + This same abductee described a clandestine brain operation of some sort she +underwent in childhood. The neurosurgeon was a human being, not an alien. +She even recalled the name. (Note: This is not the same individual referred to +above.) When I heard the name, it meant nothing to me -- but later I learned +that there really was a scientist of that name who specialzed in electrode +implant research. + Licia Davidson is a thoughtful and articulate abductee, whose fascinating +story closely parallels many found in the abductee literature -- except for one +unusual detail. In an interview with me, described an unsettling recollection +of a human being, dressed normally, holding a black BoX with a protruding +antenna. This odd snippet of memory did NOT coincide with the general thrust +of her abduction narrative. Could this remembrance represent an all-too-brief +segment of accurately-perceived reality interrupting her hypnotically-induced +"screen memory"? Peter clearly recalls seeing a similar BoX during his +abduction. + Interestingly, Licia resides in the Los Angeles suburb of Tujunga Canyon, a +prominent spot on the abduction map; Many of the abductees I have spoken to +first had unusual experiences while living in this area. Near Tujunga Canyon, +in Mt. Pacifico, is a hidden former Nike missile base; more than one abductee +has described odd, seemingly inexplicable military activity around this +location[178]. The reader will recall the connection of Nike missile bases to +the disturbing story of Dr. L. Jolyon ("BoB") West, a veteran of MKULTRA. + + +CULTS + + Some abductees I have spoken to have been directed to join certain +religious/philosophical sects. These cults often bear close examination. + The leaders of these groups tend to be "ex"-CIA operatives, or Special +Forces veterans. They are often linked through personal relations, even +though they espouse widely varying traditions. I have heard unsettling +reports that the leaders of some of these groups have used hypnosis, drugs, +or "mind machines" on their charges. Members of these cults have reported +periods of missing time during ceremonies or "study periods." + I strongly urge abduction researchers to examine closely any small "occult" +groups an abductee might join. For example, one familiar leader of the UFO +fringe -- a man well-known for his espousal of the doctrine of "love and light" +-- is Virgil Armstrong, a close personal friend of General John Singlaub, the +notorious Iran-Contra player, who recently headed the neo-fascist World Anti- +Communist League. Armstrong, who also happens to be an ex-Green Beret and +former CIA operative, figured into my inquiry in an interesting fashion: An +abductee of my acquaintance was told -- by her "entities," naturally -- to seek +out this UFO spokesman and join his "sky-watch" activities, which, my source +alleges, included a mass channelling session intended to send debilitating +"negative" vibrations to Constantine Chernenko, then the leader of the Soviet +Union. Of course, intracerebral voices may have a purely psychological origin, +so Armstrong can hardly be held to task for the abductee's original "direct- +ive."[179] Still, his past associations with military intelligence inevitably +bring disturbing possibilities to mind. + Even more ominous than possible ties between UFO cults and the intelligence +community are the cults' links with the shadowy I AM group, founded by Guy +Ballard in the 1930s[180]. According to researcher David Stupple, "If you look +at the contactee groups today, you'll see that most of the stable, larger ones +are actually neo-I AM groups, with some sort of tie to Ballard's organization." +[181] This cult, therefore, bears investigation. + Guy Ballard's "Mighty I AM Religious Activity," grew, in large part, out of +William Dudley Pelly's Silver Shirts, an American NAZI organization[182]. +Although Ballard himself never openly proclaimed NAZI affiliation, his movement +was tinged with an extremely right-wing political philosophy, and in secret +meetings he "decreed" the death of President Franklin Roosevelt[183]. The I AM +philosophy derived from Theosophy, and in this author's estimation bears a +more-than-cursory resemblance to the Theosophically-based teachings that +informed the proto-NAZI German occult lodges[184]. + After the war, Pelley (who had been imprisoned for sedition during the +hostilities) headed an occult-oriented organization call Soulcraft, based in +Noblesville, Indiana. Another Soulcraft employee was the controversial +contactee George Hunt Williamson (real name: Michel d'Obrenovic), who co- +authored UFOs CONFIDENTIAL with John McCoy, a proponent of the theory that a +Jewish banking conspiracy was preventing disclosure of the solution to the UFO +mystery[185]. Later, Williamson founded the I AM-oriented Brotherhood of the +Seven Rays in Peru[186]. Another famed contactee, George Van Tassel, was +associated with Pelley and with the notoriously anti-Semitic Reverend Wesley +Swift (founder of the group which metamorphosed into the Aryan nations).[187] + The most visible offspring of I AM is Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Church +Universal and Triumphant, a group best-known for its massive arms caches in +underground bunkers. CUT was recently exposed in COVERT ACTION INFORMATION +BULLETIN as a conduit of CIA funds[188], and according to researcher John +Judge, has ties to organizations allied to the World Anti-Communist League[189] +Prophet is becoming involved in abduction research and has sponsored present- +ations by Budd Hopkins and other prominent investigators. In his book THE +ARMSTRONG REPORT: ETs AND UFOs: THEY NEED US, WE DON'T NEED THEM[sic][190], +Virgil Armstrong directs troubled abductees toward Prophet's group. (Perhaps +not insignificantly, he also suggests that abductees plagued by implants +alleviate their problem by turning to "the I AM force" within.[191]) + Another UFO channeller, Frederick Von Mierers, has promulgated both a cult +with a strong I AM orientation[192] and an apparent con-game involving over- +appraised gemstones. Mierers is an anti-Semite who contends that the Holocaust +never happened and that the Jews control the world's wealth. + UFORUM is a flying saucer organization popular with Los Angeles-area +abductees; its founder is Penny Harper, a member of a radical Scientology +breakaway group which connects the teachings of L. Ron ("Bob") Hubbard with +pronouncements against "The Illuminati" (a mythical secret society) and other +BETES NOIR familiar from right-wing conspiracy literature. Harper directs +members of her group to read THE SPOTLIGHT, an extremist tabloid (published by +Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby) which denies the reality of the Holocaust and +posits a "Zionist" scheme to control the world[193]. + More than one unwary abductee has fallen in with groups such as those listed +above. It isn't difficult to imagine how some of these questionable groups +might mold an abductee's recollection of his experience -- and perhaps help +direct his future actions. + Some modern abductees, with otherwise-strong claims, claim encounters with +blond, "Nordic" aliens reminiscent of the early contactee era. Surely, the +"Nordic" appearance of these aliens sprang from the dubious spiritual tradition +of Van Tassell, Ballard, Pelley, McCoy, etc. Why, then, are some modern +abductees seeing these very same other-worldly UEBERMENSCHEN? + One abductee of my acquaintance claims to have had beneficial experiences +with these "blond" aliens -- who, he believes, came originally from the +Pleiades. Interestingly, in the late 1960s, the psychopathically anti-Semitic +Rev. Wesley Swift predicted this odd twist in the abduction tale. In a +broadcast "sermon," he spoke at length about UFOs, claiming that there were +"good" aliens and "bad" aliens. The good ones, he insisted, were tall, blond +Aryans -- WHO HAILED FROM THE PLEIADES. He made this pronouncement long before +the current trends in abduction lore. + Could some of the abductions be conducted by an extreme right-wing element +within the national security establishment? Disagreeable as the possibility +seems, we should note that the "lunatic right" is represented in all other +walks of life; certainly hard-rightists have taken positions within the +military-intelligence complex as well. + +GROUNDS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH + + John Keel's ground-breaking OPERATION TROJAN HORSE, written in an era when +abductees still came under the category of "contactees," includes the following +intriguing data, gleaned from Keel'a extensive field work: + + Contactees often find themselves suddenly miles from home + without knowing how they got there. They either have induced + amnesia, wiping out all memory of the trip, or they were taken + over by some means and made the trip in a blacked-out state. + Should they encounter a friend on the way, the friend would + probably note that their eyes seemed glassy and their behavior + seemed peculiar. But if the friend spoke to them, he might + receive a curt reply. + In the language of the contactees this process is called + being used...I have known silent contactees to disappear from + their homes for long periods, and when they returned, they + had little or no recollection of where they had been. One + girl sent me a postcard from the Bahama Islands -- which + surprised me because I knew she was very poor. When she + returned, she told me that she had only one memory of the + trip. She said she remembered getting off a jet at an air- + port -- she souldn't recall getting on the jet or making the + trip -- and there "Indians" met her and took her baggage... + The next thing she knew she was back home again[194]. + + Puzzling indeed -- unless one has read THE CONTROL OF CANDY JONES, which +speaks of Candy's "blacked out" periods, during which she travelled to Taiwan +as a CIA courier, adopting her second personality. The mind control explana- +tion perfectly solves all the mysteries in the above excerpt -- save, perhaps, +the odd remark about "Indians." + Hickson and Mendez' UFO CONTACT AT PASCAGOULA contains the interesting +information that Charles Hickson awakes at night feeling that he is on the +verge of re-awakening some terribly important memory connected with his +encounter -- yet ostensibly he can account for every moment of his adventure. + Hickson also received a letter from an apparent abductee who claims that +the grey aliens are actually automatons of some sort -- perhaps an unconscious +recognition of the unreality of the hypnotically-induced "cover story."[195] +In this light, the film version of COMMUNION -- whose screenplay was written +by Whitley Strieber -- takes on a new interest: The abduction sequences contain +inexplicable images indicating that the "greys" are really props, or masks. + COMMUNION and TRANSFORMATION contain passages detailing what seems to be a +hazily-recalled Candy-Jones-style espionage adventure, in which Strieber was +shanghaied by a "coach" and a "nurse" (both human beings) who apparently +drugged him[196]. Recall the example of Keel's informants. Moreover, +TRANSFORMATION contains lengthy descriptions of alien beings working in +apparent collusion with human beings. + Abductee Christa Tilton also recalls both human beings and aliens playing +a part in her experience. Ever since her abduction, she claims, she has been +"shadowed" by a mysterious federal agent she calls John Wallis[197]. Christa's +husband, Tom Adams, has confirmed Wallis' existence[198]. + In his REPORT ON COMMUNION, Ed Conroy -- who seems to have become a +participant in, and not merely an observer of, the phenomenon -- describes +harassment by helicopters, which as we have already noted, seems to be quite +a common occurrence in abductee situations[199]. Researchers blithely assume +that these incidents represent governmental attempts to spy on UFO percipients. +But this assertion is ridiculous. Helicopters are extremely expensive to +operate, and the engines of espionage have perfected numerous alternative +methods to gather information. After all, we now have a fairly extensive +bibliography of FBI, CIA, and military efforts to spy on numerous movements +favoring domestic social change. Why have no veterans of CHAOS or COINTELPRO +(either victim or victimizer) spoken of helicopters? Obviously the choppers +serve some other purpose beyond mere surveillance. One possibility might be +the propagation of electromagnetic waves which might affect the perceptions/ +behaviors of an implanted individual. (Indeed, I have heard rumors of heli- +copters being used in electronic "crowd control" operations in Vietnam and +elsewhere; alas, the information is far from hard.) + Contactee Eldon Kerfoot has written of his suspicions that human mani- +pulators, not aliens, may be the ultimate puppeteers engineering his +experiences. He describes a sudden compulsion to kill a fellow veteran of +the Korean conflict -- a man Kerfoot had no logical reason to distrust or +dislike, yet whom he "sensed" to have been a traitor to his country. For- +tunately, the assassination never materialized[200]. But the situation exactly +parallels incidents described in released ARTICHOKE documents concerning the +remote hypnotic induction of anti-social behavior. + One last speculation: + Renato Vesco's INTERCEPT BUT DON'T SHOOT[201] outlines a fascinating +scenario for the "secret weapon" hypothesis of UFOs. Vesco points out that +if these devices are one day to be used in a superpower conflict [or in +suppression of civilian revolution, against, say, S&L taxation -jpg], the +attacking power would be well-served by the myth of the UFO as an extra- +terrestrial craft, for the besieged nation would not know the true nature of +its opponent. Perhaps, then, one purpose of the UFO abductions is to engender +and maintain the legend of the little grey aliens. For the hidden manipula- +tors, the abductions could be, in and of themselves, a propaganda coup. + + +FINAL THOUGHTS + + I do not insist dogmatically on the scenario that I have outlined. I do not +wish to dissuade abduction researchers from exploring other avenues -- indeed, +I strongly encourage such work to continue. Nor can I easily account for some +aspects of the abduction narratives -- for example, any suggestions I could +offer concerning the reports of genetic experimentation would be extremely +speculative. + But I DO insist on a fair hearing of this hypothesis. Criticism is +encouraged; that which does not destroy my thesis will make it stronger. I ask +only that my critics refrain from intellectual laziness; mere differences in +world-view do not constitute a valid attack. God is found in the details. + I recognize the dangers inherent in making this thesis public. New and +distressing abductee confabulations may result. I would prefer that the +audience for this paper be restricted to abduction RESEARCHERS, not victims, +who might be unduly influenced. However, in a society that prides itself on +ostensibly free press, such restrictions are unthinkable. Therefore, I can +only beg any abduction victims who might read this paper to attempt a super- +human objectivity. The thesis I have outlined is promising, and (should +trepanation ever provide us with an example of an actual abductee implant) +susceptible of proof. But mine is not the only hypothesis. The abductee's +unrewarding task is to report what he or she has experienced as truthfully as +possible, untainted by outside speculation. + Whether or not future investigation proves UFO abductions to be a product +of mind control experimentation, I feel that this paper has, at least, +provided evidence of a serious danger facing those who hold fast to the ideals +of individual freedom. We cannot long ignore this menace. + A spectre haunts the democratic nations -- the spectre of TECHNOFASCISM. +All the powers of the espionage empire and the scientific establishment have +entered into an unholy alliance to evoke this spectre: Psychiatrist and spy, +Dulles and Delgado, microwave specialists and clandestine operators. + A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- and a worse thing to commandeer. + + NOTES + + 1.

Marks mentions, in a letter to Orne, the latter's claim to have been +an unwitting participant in subproject 84. Yet the papers released concerning +subproject 84 clearly establish the Agency's willingness to put Orne in the +know; Orne later admitted to Marks that he was made aware of his CIA sponsor- +ship (Marks, THE SEARCH FOR "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE", 172-173). In an +interview with Marks, Orne discounted the story of Candy Jones (which we shall +recount later) by insisting that if such an experiment had occurred "someone +in some agency would have come to me." Why would they come to him about a +super-secret project, unless Orne had a high security clearance and worked +extensively with intelligence agencies? Note also that Orne conducted exten- +sive studies for the Office of Naval Research from June 1, 1968 to May 31, +1971. He has also been funded by DARPA. Moreover, I consider noteworthy the +fact that Orne somehow became president of the Society for Clinical and +Experimental Hypnosis despite the fact that the organization had decided not +to have a president.

Klass argues that ufologists, in conducting hypnotic regression +sessions, inadvertently cue their subjects. A close reading of his text +reveals that he never proves or claims that such "cues" have taken place in +any individual instance; he simply believes that cueing MIGHT have occurred. +Had Klass been more willing to deal with abductees directly, he might have +found evidence of cause and effect; as it stands, his argument really amounts +to no more than a suggestion.

This assertion deserves careful +and respectful consideration. Still, Moseley won't identify his source, and +we have no way of telling if this insider spoke from instinct or certain +knowledge, or indeed, what he really meant. Did he feel Candy was fantasizing +or fibbing? If the former, why did her hallucinations match details of +MKULTRA released only after publication of her book? If the latter, how are +we to explain the many hypnotic regression tapes, at least some of which were +made available to outside investigators? (Fairly elaborate, for a hoax.) In +any case, how could Candy have known the fact (confirmed by Marks' associates) +that Kroger taught "Jensen" at a certain West-coast institute? Why, if the +story was "a crock," would Candy risk libel suits by naming -- to associates +and investigators, if not to the general public -- real-life hypnotherapists? +All in all, I would suggest that Moseley's "insider" was speaking glibly, and +did not know the true facts.

The realization that rumors of the real meaning of +the UFO phenomenon set in motion the deepest and most powerful mental +mechanisms makes acceptance of such facts very difficult, especially +since the facts ignore frontiers, creeds, and races, defy rational +statement, and turn around the most logical predictions as if they were +mere toys. [pg. 56] + + -!!!!!!!!- + + It was hoped that the recent scientific investigations of the +UFO phenomenon would have treated this problem with the attention it +deserved. Unfortunately, they have not done so. This leads me to +offer, in the present chapter, all the information I can provide on this +matter, with the hope that sociologists will tackle the problem with +more than passing amusement. Of course, some details relevant to this +aspect of the UFO phenomenon _cannot_ be published. This does not mean, +however, that they should remain the exclusive property of a few +bureaucrats concerned only with the preservation of their peace of mind +and the stability of their administrations. To let UFO speculation grow +unchecked would only make the public an easy and defenseless prey to +charlatans of all kind. It would mean that any organized group bent +upon the destruction of our society could undermine it by skillful use +of the saucer mythology; _they could take us to Magonia with the +blessing of all the 'rationalists'_. [pg. 132, emphasis Vallee.] + + -!!!!!!!!- + + There is a tendency among the believers to gather into large, +very formal organizations, where they waste all their energy and, +sometimes, a good deal of money, with practically no visible result. It +is clear that such organizations answer a psychological need rather than +a genuine desire to discover the answer to an interesting intellectual +problem. Maintaining such a group implies a tremendous overhead - +mailing lists, bookkeeping, etc. - and experience shows that research is +always the last activity it can afford. Instead, these groups generate +so much internal bitterness and so many interorganizational feuds that +they prove to be serious obstacles to independent researchers who are +simply trying to get firsthand data and do not care to support one +particular personality or theory against another. There are so many +such groups now that their publications no longer reach the scientists, +who can hardly be expected to read fifteen or twenty specialized +magazines every month. + + If people really wanted to get at the root of the UFO +phenomenon, they should simply constitute a large number of small, +informal circles, the only objective of which would be the gathering of +firsthand reports. It should be obvious that professional scientists +are not in a position to do this. They know the problem only through +the daily press, which does not give information on reports made outside +a small area. When it does, the witness account is so biased that the +information becomes worthless. And even if the article is accurate, +there is no way to measure the reliability of the witnesses or to learn +their standing in the community. _Only local residents can evaluate +such an odd occurrence as a UFO sighting at its true weight._ + + The creation of a network of active but informal groups would +also help solve the problem of documentation and publication. When the +main organized groups do conduct investigations, they bury them in their +files or publish only biased, heavily edited summaries, thus screwing +down the lid on the observational material they precisely set out to +reveal. [pg. 158, emphasis Vallee.] + + -!!!!!!!!- + + If we decide to avoid extreme speculation, but to make certain +basic observations from the existing data, five principal facts stand +out rather clearly: + + Fact 1. There has been among the public, in all countries, +since the middle of 1946, an extremely active generation of colorful +rumors. They center on a considerable number of observations of unknown +machines close to the ground in rural areas, the physical traces left by +these machines, and their various effects on humans and animals. + + Fact 2. When the underlying archetypes are extracted from these +rumors, the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with +the fairy-faith of Celtic countries, the observations of the scholars of +past ages, and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning +entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the +same category as the present-day ufonauts. + + Fact 3. The entities human witnesses report to have seen, +heard, and touched fall into various biological types. Among them are +beings of giant stature, men indistinguishable from us, winged +creatures, and various types of monsters. Most of the so-called pilots, +however, are dwarfs and form two main groups: (1) dark, hairy beings - +identical to the gnomes of medieval theory - with small, bright eyes and +deep, rugged, 'old' voices; and (2) beings - who answer the description +of the sylphs of the Middle Ages or the elves of the fairy-faith - with +human complexions, oversized heads, and silvery voices. All the beings +have been described with and without breathing apparatus. Beings of +various categories have been reported together. + + Fact 4. The entities reported behavior is as consistently +absurd as the appearance of their craft is ludicrous. In numerous +instances of verbal communication with them, their assertions have been +systematically misleading. This is true for all cases on record, from +encounters with the Gentry in the British Isles to conversations with +airship engineers during the 1897 Midwest flap and discussions with the +alleged Martians in Europe, North and South America, and elsewhere. This +absurd behavior has had the effect of keeping professional scientists +away from the area where that activity is taking place. It has also +served to give the saucer myth its religious and mystical overtones. + + Fact 5. The mechanism of the apparitions, in legendary, +historical, and modern times, is standard and follows the model of +religious miracles. Several cases, which bear the official stamp of the +Catholic Church (Fatima, Guadalupe, etc.), are in fact - if one applies +the definitions strictly - nothing more than UFO phenomena where the +entity has delivered a message having to do with religious beliefs +rather than with fertilizers or engineering. + + Given the above facts I believe the following three propositions +to be true: + + Proposition 1. The behavior of nonhuman visitors to our planet, +or the behavior of a superior race coexisting with us on this planet, +would not necessarily appear purposeful to a human observer. Scientists +who brush aside UFO reports because 'obviously intelligent visitors +would not behave like that' simply have not given serious thought to the +problem of nonhuman intelligence. + + Observation and deduction agree, in fact, that the organized +action of a superior race must appear absurd to the inferior one. That +this does not preclude contact and even cohabitation is an obvious fact +of daily life on our planet, where humans, animals, and insects have +interwoven activities in spite of their different levels of nervous +system organization. + + Proposition 2. If we recognize that the structure and nature of +time is as much of a puzzle to modern physicists as it was to Reverend +Kirk, then it follows that any theory of the universe that does not take +our ignorance in this respect into account is bound to remain an +academic exercise. In particular, such a theory could never be invoked +seriously in a discussion of the constraints placed on possible visitors +to our planet. + + Proposition 3. The entire mystery we are discussing contains +all the elements of a myth that could be utilized to serve political or +sociological purposes, a fact illustrated by the curious link between +the contents of the reports themselves and the progress of human +technology, from aerial ships to dirigibles to ghost rockets to flying +saucers - a link that has never received a satisfactory interpretation +in a sociological framework. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

"I get emotional about (Meier) because I've just seen ufology +go down the drain...it just reeks of money, a slick way to make a buck." + He isn't alone. "The Meier case is probably one of the most obvious +hoaxes in the history of the subject," said ufologist Ronald Story of St. +Petersburg, FL, author of "The Encyclopedia of UFOs." + Meier is a "damned charlatan - I wouldn't touch his stuff with the +proverbial 10-foot pole," said Don Berliner, an official at the Maryland- +based Fund for UFO Research. + The Meier fad is part of a "credulity explosion" that is helping to +wreck ufologists' credibility, said one of the men ufologists fear most, +Robert Sheaffer of San Jose, author of "The UFO Verdict." Sheaffer has ex- +posed some famous saucer sightings as hoaxes and misidentifications of nat- +ural phenomena. Ufology "isn't dead yet, but it's dying," he said. + Ufologist Jim Speiser firmly disagrees and accuses Sheaffer of "wish- +ful thinking." But he acknowledges that trying to gain scientific respect +while Meier is in the news is "like trying to get a date when your little +brother who picks his nose is always hanging around." + Speiser, of Fountain Hills, AZ, runs an electronic "bulletin board" +that allows saucer buffs to rap via personal computers. + So why on Earth has Atlantic Monthly Press, one of the nation's most +respected publishers, just released a book - "Light Years" by Gary Kinder - +that suggests there may be something to Meier's claims after all? A book +whose sources include an imprisoned child molester and a San Jose chemist +who tells ghost stories to plants? A book that, some say, whitewashes what +has been called "the most infamous hoax in ufology"? + Its a strange story that began in the mid-1970's in the green hills +of Switzerland. + Eduard "Billy" Meier, a one-armed, bushy-bearded farmer, amazed lo- +cal residents by saying he had established psychic contact with saucer pi- +lots from the Pleiades. + He also said he had photographed and filmed UFOs that resembled hub- +caps; tape-recorded their noises, which resembled sound effects from old +science-fiction films; conversed with female UFOnauts, who taught him cos- +mic truths; flew aboard a UFO into space, where he photographed God's +"eye" and the Apollo-Soyuz docking of 1975; and traveled by saucer into +the future, where he saw the ruins of San Francisco after an earthquake. + But Meier's "evidence" dissolved under scrutiny, ufologists say. +Ufologist Spaulding used a computer to clarify blurry details in Meier's +photos and, he said, detected threads holding the "UFOs" aloft - evidence +that they were small models suspended near the camera. Also, critics said, +the photos of quake-ravaged San Francisco turned out to be copies of an +artist's rendering from the September 1977 issue of Geo magazine. And in +Meier's 8mm movies of UFOs, the objects sway back and forth as though they +were lightweight models bobbing in the breeze. + Yet the Meier story has survived partly because of the relentless +advocacy of his American backers, the Arizona ufologists Lt. Col. Wendelle +Stevens (US Air Force, retired), Tom Welch and Lee and Brit Elders. Years +ago, they obtained the legal rights to market Meier's photos and other mem- +orabilia, threatened to sue anyone who used the material without permis- +sion and built a small publishing industry, Genesis III. The publishing +arm sells books and videocassettes (for as much as $29 apiece) about +Meier's adventures. + Now they've landed a much bigger fish: royalties from Kinder's 206- +page book, published May 26th. They're sharing royalties in return for +giving Kinder access to Meier's photos and other documents. + Much money may be made by all: Kinder will take 50 percent of the +royalties, then the rest will be divided among Meier, Stevens, the +Elderses and Welch. + Sales have gone "extremely well," Kinder said. The best-seller list +is in sight, said the book's backer, New York publishing whiz-kid Morgan +Entrekin, who paid Kinder an advance of more than $100,000. Bay Area book- +store owners say its selling moderately. + The book has infuriated many ufologists who think it lends an unde- +served patina of respectability to a vulgar hoax, although Kinder doesn't +reach a specific conclusion about Meier's claims. "Face it, you're in it +for the money like the rest of the writers of superficial paranormal lit- +erature," Spaulding said in a bitter letter to Kinder. + "It's been a real ordeal trying to fend off the entire UFO communi- +ty," joked Kinder, 40. "There were times when I would look at Meier and +think, `He's nothing but a clever con man.' There were other times would I +would look at Meier and think, `Here is a sincere and warm individual who +has experienced something far above his understanding and intellectual cap- +abilities and is trying to deal with it.'" + The Elderses say they've received threatening letters and phone +calls and that Meier has been the target of several assassination at- +tempts. They're not disturbed by evidence that Meier faked photos of, for +example, the San Francisco earthquake; in fact, they haven't even dis- +cussed it with Meier, Lee Elders said. His wife insists that just because +Meier faked "one or two things" doesn't mean all his photos are phony. + To Lee Elders, the best evidence for Meier's contentions is an analy- +sis of metal samples from an alleged UFO. The analysis was conducted by +Marcel Vogel, formerly a chemist at an IBM research center in San Jose. In +the New York Times Book Review, a full page ad for "Light Years" quotes +Vogel as saying the metallic composition was one "we could not achieve... +on this planet." + However, the book doesn't mention that Vogel is a very, very imagina- +tive fellow. In fact, he also has claimed the ability to communicate psych- +ically with plants. + The 1937 best-selling "Secret Life of Plants" includes an entire +chapter on Vogel. In one scene, he attempts to determine whether plants +wired with electrodes show a physiological response to "spooky stories." +The book says that at "certain points in a story, such as...`Charles bent +down and raised the lid of the coffin,' the plant seemed to pay closer at- +tention." + Vogel, 70, said Meier's UFO movies convinced him the farmer had been +in contact with "some form of extraterrestrial intelligence" However, +Vogel doesn't regard the metal samples by themselves as proof of extra- +terrestrials because he didn't have a chance to consult with other experts +before the samples mysteriously disappeared. Vogel added that since his +plant work of the 1970's, he had founded a psychic research institute in +San Jose, employed his "mental energy" to bend spoons and studied the use +of crystals to cure illness. + "Light Years" also quotes authorities such as Robert Post, head of +the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, as saying: "From a photography +standpoint, you couldn't see anything that was fake about the Meier pho- +tos... I thought, God, if this is real, this is going to be really +something." + Or is it? In an interview with The Examiner, Post recalled that sev- +eral years ago, Wendelle Stevens visited him at JPL and requested an ex- +pert opinion on the pictures. Post acknowledges he was fascinated by the +images, but was unable to perform a scientific analysis for two reasons: +First, he isn't a photo analyst but rather the operator of a photo proces- +sing lab ("like you take your film to K-Mart", he said); and second, the +pictures weren't originals but rather copies of originals - perhaps even +copies of copies of copies. Such multiple copying tends to obscure deli- +cate details, making it hard to detect evidence of fraud - e.g., threads +supporting hubcaps. + In addition, when Post examined some images with a magnifying glass, +he realized "a lot of the pictures weren't really photographs at all - +they were lithographs," or high-resolution ink prints made from photos - +and, hence, were worthless for purposes of analysis. Furthermore, the +photos were " a lot fuzzier than the stuff on the lithographs, and I +thought that was a little strange." + For that and other reasons, Post began "to think, `Nuts, maybe this +guy is just a con man.' That's not the kind of guy I want to have anything +to do with." + In 1983, Stevens was convicted of child molestation in Pima County, +AZ. He is now serving time in the Arizona State Prison and declined to be +interviewed. But he did send The Examiner a cryptic letter in which he +said a "number of high officials...have taken a personal interest in some +of the things we were doing, but they could neither support nor tolerate +them officially." + Stevens' conviction triggered a wave of paranoia among Meier buffs. +Some phoned Vicki Cooper, editor of California UFO Magazine in Los Ange- +les, and said Stevens "was `set up,' that certain witnesses were being +killed," said Cooper, who is not unsympathetic to Meier's claims. "I was +discouraged and disgusted with the people I was talking to." + "Its a cesspool out there," she said. "Personality conflicts are +rabid in this field...There are hoaxers, there are fraudulent people who +are claiming outrageous things all throughout the UFO field. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

It is a film of interviews with Nippon Television, +reviewing photos and film brought back from Switzerland. In this +film, Genesis ]I[ has condensed two other films available from them. +These are "Beamship: The Movie Footage" and "Beamship: The Metal". + Undoubtedly, some have heard of the amazing metals supposedly +brought back from the alien space ships that Billy Meier saw and had +contact with. These were the same metals that strangely disappeared +while in the hands of one Marcel Vogel, now of "Crystal Power" fame. + I have viewed the Meier Chronicles film, and have had as much +contact as possible with both the books available on the subject, and +any news or rumors that have come about as a result of this matter. +Despite all this, I tried to view these films with as much true +skepticism as possible, to avoid unjustly judging them as true or +false. + The first of these films that I viewed was "Beamship: The Movie +Footage". Amazing as its proclamations were, they were quite hard to +understand as the conversations were between not-too-educated Billy +Meier, and a nodding buffoon from Nippon Television, neither of whom +had an over abundance of the English language at their command. + Next in line was "Beamship: The Metal". I am not presently +placing any kind of judgement on this film, as there is quite a load +of technical phrases and potentially false claims, and I am no +metallurgist. Further investigation of this movie is necessary, and +will hopefully be forthcoming. + The last of these movies was a conglomeration of the first two, +but with a lot more information, and some updating of available data. +In this film, Genesis ]I[ has finally taken to a studio of some kind, +and used a higher quality of video tape. Also involved with the movie +were Nippon Television Network of Japan, and Intercep, an unknown group +apparently involved with Genesis. This film was made (or at least +copyrighted) in 1986, and seemed to ignore the then-growing +controversy surrounding the Meier case. + According to this film, Nippon's publicizing of this media event +on Japanese television was such a major success that their man with +the nodding head was asked to return to Switzerland and follow up. +Meier was now claiming threats on his life, and had visibly aged. He +showed the film crews bullet holes in the side of his farmhouse and he +feared that he was being constantly shadowed. A large group of people +was available to the movement, and had claimed to be witness to +several sightings with Billy, during his contacts. Some of these +people had taken film, at night, of these sightings. The small, +fuzzy, red balls of light showed nothing too extraordinary at face +value, but taken with the story behind them, they were indeed almost +too good to believe. This, coupled with the photographs taken at the +same time, led me to believe that Meier is NOT working alone, and that +his contacts could as easily be human as Pleadian. As an example, one +of the witnesses (it is worthy to note that she was later committed +for mental problems) described the sighting as a red ship moving +upward from the "contact" sight where Billy had gone. It then began +to turn and moved away. This was supposed to be a Pleadian +demonstration of the ships ability to fly. As the ship turned, this +lady described the sound of an airplane, one which seemed ever-present +during the later follow up films of Nippon, and one that was described +as belonging to some government agency that was following Meier. + On to the films taken by Billy. Granted, Meier is a one-armed +man, and is therefore not capable of taking 8mm film while holding up +a pole with a model on the end. One of these films in particular +shows a beamship disappearing and reappearing. Nippon took the +liberty of analyzing this film. To describe it, there is a small +disk-shaped object "hovering" with a wobbly movement, above a valley +in front of it. The ship disappears three frames after what appears +to be a cloud moves into the frame (thus a darkening effect). Nippon +TV seemed to be more than anxious to attribute this and the same +darkening effect three frames after the reappearance to the "shock" +Meier says he felt when the craft disappeared. They also seemed to +think that the fact the ship vanished from one frame to the next as +proof that there was no fraud. They neglected to mention that not +only is this how a film would be most easily faked, but that the +branch that was swaying in the breeze stopped too suddenly when the +vanish happened. Admittedly, the ship was moving up and down when the +film was taken and did not seem affected by the wind, but if it was +being "levitated" by a helicopter off in the distance and out of the +camera eye, it would be more affected by that downward wind than by +the local surface breezes. Other analysis were done on other films, +and one of these concluded, by computer counting of pixels, that the +object viewed was at least as far away as the known-size objects +around it. From the films and photos available to them, professional +analysts were unable to prove fraud. The most impressive of these +films was one that involved a Mirage fighter entering into the +picture. This was the most impressive for many reasons. One of those +was that while the UFO managed to jump about the film when the fighter +approached, the fighter's movement was smooth and continuous. Further +analysis of this film showed (by someone who was looking for strings +and the like) that there was some kind of irregular energy field +surrounding the ship, and that this field extended recognizably around +the Mirage. The fighter was, as far as this pilot can tell, real, and +this film would have been noticeable as faked by the person doing the +analysis (aka, if it had been a double-exposure, if there were strings +holding up the object, and the like). + There was much more film and photographic material than shown, +and some mildly dramatic proof of prowlers and "shadowing" by someone +not visible in the film. This could have been staged, and that +possibility must never be dismissed. Furthermore, Billy Meier and +Genesis continually showed the famed "Pleadian Picture", and obvious +cutout from an old Sears Catalog. Meier now claims that this was +taken aboard one of the beamships. + After viewing the "extended" film, and after seeing some of the +film and photo evidence shown only in the third film, I must come to +the conclusion that either Meier is on to the biggest thing in the +history of man, or he is the head perpetrator of a large, elaborate and +very expensive hoax. It isn't that easy, any way you look at it, to +summarily dismiss this entire field of thought as fraud. Some of it +is proven beyond my ability to argue for it, or anyone else either. +But there is another possibility - that Meier had something, something +small and insignificant by itself, and he took it beyond all possible +reality. More evidence was then provided by anxious and willing +followers, and Meier was more than willing to accept and warp it. As +the lie grew, Meier was unable to control, to stop, it. This is, most +admittedly, an extremely optimistic idea. This is giving Meier quite +a lot, and allowing him more than his share of compassion. Yet, this +is the only thing that I can truly offer as a possibility that some of +Billy's excitingly unreal evidence is as real as we want it to be. + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

The credit for the preparation +and publishing of this book is shared by a team of nine indivduals and four +companies; but all of the flying saucer photographs are attributed to Eduard +"Billy" Meier, a farmer/caretaker of Inwel, Switzerland. + +A connected series of photographs such as this can be likened to a chain, +where the failure of a single link disrupts the entire chain. Rather +ironically, the very first photograph in the book is the one in which +evidence of fakery can be most clearly seen, so that detectable +discrepancies in later photographs only go to confirm that a superimposition +technique such as front projection has undoubtedly been used. The first +picture, which is reproduced again precisely half way through the book, is +one of a series supposedly taken just before sunset on 29th March, 1976. It +has the appearance of a scene largely in shadow, but lit from the right by a +reddish sun, which also flashes brightly off the upper section of the +spacecraft. However, this apparent illumination terminates abruptly along +the line of the distant hilltops, along with the transition from pale blue +sky to brownish hills. Close examination reveals that this appearance of +sunshine has been achieved by displacing the magenta and yellow colour image +laterally from the cyan and black, thus generating an orange flash on one +side of the tree limbs. The effect of this technique is apparent only where +the background is lacking in magenta and yellow - in this case, the sky. +The question arises, was this the result of poor printing technique, or was +it deliberately done, either before or after the picture reached the hands +of the printers? Consider the evidence; that the only pictures in the book +which have this defect to any serious extent are the ones in this particular +series, that the extent of the defect is far beyond what any reputable colour +reprodcer would allow, and that the effect of the misregistration is so +pronounced that it could not possibly have been missed. As to who was +responsible for the fakery, the buck appears to stop at the colour +reproducers, because in the second printing of this picture, the colour +displacement has been done in the wrong direction, and the trees appear to be +sunlit from the left. The printers would have used the blocks as received, +on equipment which automatically preserved the registration of the four +colours. + +It would be tedious to go through all the individual discrepancies in the +various pictures, particularly as the book pages are not numbered for +reference. Suffice to say that the faults to look for come into the +following categories: + +1. Lighting direction discrepancies between the background and the +spacecraft. +2. Overcast sky and flatly lit ground scene, with a brightly lit craft. +3. Correct exposure for the craft, when the scene is badly underexposed. +4. Craft in better focus than any part of the scene. +5. Lack of ground shadow cast by the craft. +6. Inconsistent lighting between shots supposedly taken at the same time. +7. No signs of life in any of the UFO pictures. + +The first five of these faults all indicate that a superimposition technique +has been used, probably involving models for the spacecraft. Confirmatory +evidence comes from the last saucer picture in the book, where the painted on +"portholes" are fairly obvious. The most likely technique used for the +superimposition is front projection, which is widely used in the United +States today. With this technique, you can have your wedding day photographs +taken in front of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, even though the ceremony took +place in a Brooklyn registry office. The technique is virtually +undetectable, except when mistakes are made, such as those listed above. + +The text of this book is also not immune to criticism. The claim is made, +for instance, that the focussing of the camera used for all the saucer +stills was jammed just short of infinity. This is just the setting which +would be used to obtain maximum clarity in a landscape photograph, so it +becomes a rather hollow excuse for the poor focussing evident in many of the +pictures. The captions of the two micrograph pictures are nonsensical - all +metals have adequate conductivity for scanning electron microscopy, but the +specimen in the picture exhibits signs of poor conductivity, suggesting an +improperly prepared nonmetallic object; and the machining in the other +micrograph is not only very poor, but it appears to have been done by an +unsuitable technique. It is repeatedly claimed that an abundance of +pictures are available for publication, which makes it hard to understand +why five of them have been printed twice, for no good reason. Looking at +the drawings of the various craft, one would expect from their clarity and +detail, that they would be accurate. This appears to be so for type 5 craft, +and for type 2 other than the one in the movie sequence, but it is +definitely not the case for the remaining variations. The claims made for +the movie segment deserve some attention. Ask any film producer, and he +will tell you that these are all standard effects with a tripod mounted +camera, involving only simply stop/start and time-lapse techniques. + +The scientific investigation is one aspect of this book which worries me. +Apart from acknowledging the part played by De Anza Systems Inc., the book +does not name any of the persons involved; but one would expect an honourable +scientist to revoke any abuse of his professional status. I can only +conclude, therefore, that some, at least, of my colleagues, have allowed +themselves to be so blinded by state-of-the-art technology, that they cannot +see how easy it is to cheat such a system. Relying entirely on a computer +for UFO photograph analysis is like staking your reputation on the computer +beating all comers at chess. Anyone knowing or guessing the factors on +which the computer calculations are based, can devise techniques to force +incorrect analyses from the comptuer. For example, distance and size +assessment are both based on edge sharpness data, which can be readily +manipulated to give any desired result during a superimposition. Regarding +the metal, biological and mineral specimens left by the cosmonauts, there is +a technique called isotope analysis now available, which will determine with +absolute certainty whether a material is of extraterrestrial origin. There +are many places where it can be carried out; and some of these must be known +to the American scientists allegedly involved in the investigation. +Significantly, no mention is made of this technique being used. + +This scientific aspect is so important, that, at the risk of boring layman +readers, I will deal specifically with some of the misconceptions which +appear in the book. Electron microscopy always sounds impressive, but it +would be hard to conceive of a greater exercise in futility than using it on +colour film images. A scanning microscope would show only the topography of +the emulsion surface, wheras in a transmission microscope, the dye materials +of the image would be indistinguishable from the gelatin medium. Three +dimensionality can be detected with reasonable certainty from an original +photograph, taken under known conditions. However, UFOs have frequently been +assessed as three dimensional from analysis of copied photographs, which are, +by definition, photographs of photographs having only two effective +dimensions. Alternatively, skillful artists routinely transfer attributes of +three dimensionality to canvas, sufficient to fool any computer analysis. In +colour film, the image is composed of three dyes, each of which is visible to +the eye. There is no other material present with which any invisible image +could be formed; and to suggest that some mysterious radiation produced such +an image is surely ridiculous. Similarly, it is foolhardy to suggest that any +wire or thread supporting a model must show up with computer enhancement. A +300mm diameter foam plastic model, for instance, could easily be supported by +a single fibre from a nylon stocking, which, at 2 metres from the camera, +would be well beyond the resolving power of its optical system. A general +characteristic of film grains is that they overlap - it is only thus that a +true black image can be built up. This is especially true of colour film, +where each of the tree emulsions has to be capable of developing as a solid +colour. Another characteristic of film grains is that once they are +developed, there is no way to tell how or when they were exposed; hence film +grain analysis gives no information about the use of multiple exposures, or +of most darkroom techniques. In conclusion computer techniques have their +place, but they cannot substitute entirely for careful visual examination of +any UFO photograph. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The above article which appeared in the `UFO Research Australia Newsletter," + Vol.2 No.1, Jan-Feb 1981, is one of many written at the time.

Siegfried ³ +³ Oklahoma Director of Investigations ³ +³ ³ +³The evolution of the comprehension of the UFO phenomenon and³ +³related subjects has, by April, 1993, accepted to some ³ +³degree such extraordinary happenings as abductions, cattle ³ +³mutilations, and even so-called Bigfoot sightings. I guess ³ +³it is time for me to acquiesce and consider the really far- ³ +³out subject of the infamous Men In Black. I don't like to ³ +³think about them for I have always thought the subject not a³ +³little silly. ³ +³ ³ +³Since 1977, the year of my great enlightenment, Men In Black³ +³have been mentioned to me by a few citizens. In fact, around³ +³1979, at an Ohio UFO Investigators public presentation in ³ +³Cincinnati, Ohio, my friends and I may have encountered two ³ +³of the "creatures." ³ +³ ³ +³During the registration for the conference two men entered ³ +³the lobby. They were dressed in very neat dark suits, ³ +³sported very GI haircuts and what looked like Air Force ³ +³regulation dress shoes. The twosome would not speak to ³ +³anyone. ³ +³ ³ +³Neither would they register, although they paid the ³ +³admission fee. Actually I have always thought that they were³ +³Air Force Intelligence agents who forgot to change their ³ +³shoes. ³ +³ ³ +³But then, at the end of the program we were walking down a ³ +³long corridor leading to our vehicles. The two mystery men ³ +³were walking ahead of us. We were laughing and talking ³ +³rather loudly. Both men turned and looked at us. At that ³ +³point the corridor made a right angle turn. They rounded the³ +³corner. Although we were probably no more than forty or ³ +³fifty feet behind them by the time we turned the corner the ³ +³two men had disappeared. ³ +³ ³ +³We were all astonished. We looked for a door that they could³ +³have ducked into and at the same time were wondering why ³ +³they would do that. Three of us ran to the outside door and ³ +³looked around the parking lot. They were gone. Unless they ³ +³did duck into one of the unmarked doors what they did was ³ +³inhuman. ³ +³ ³ +³Some years later a married couple moved into an apartment ³ +³complex just two blocks from my residence. The lady, a ³ +³nurse, had had some very unusual experiences. Somehow she ³ +³had found out that I was a MUFON investigator and came down ³ +³to the house to discuss her situation. I can't remember what³ +³she told me. ³ +³ ³ +³But, I do remember what her husband said. They had moved ³ +³from Akron, Ohio. While there the husband became the leader³ +³of a rather healthy UFO group of citizens. He would rent ³ +³part of the enormous hangar of the Goodyear Blimp and ³ +³conduct meetings in it. ³ +³ ³ +³Since it was so long ago I can't recall how the warnings ³ +³began but eventually the Men In Black became involved in an ³ +³attempt to scare him off. He didn't scare. That is, he ³ +³didn't become frightened until his little giris told him ³ +³that two men, in dark suits and hats, driving a large black ³ +³automobile, were following them to and from school. ³ +³ ³ +³The implication was clear. Either he stop his UFO activities³ +³or something would happen to the children. That is when the ³ +³family moved to Dayton. The gentleman would have nothing to ³ +³do with any UFO organization. ³ +³ ³ +³There was no reason for me to doubt the authenticity of the ³ +³story. ³ +³ ³ +³Somewhere around the end of the 1970s the Men In Black were ³ +³made known to me again. That time, I felt, the story was ³ +³filled with humor. ³ +³ ³ +³I taught a senior high school class in Anthropology. There ³ +³were two sisters, who were my students. Their heritage was ³ +³part Native American. In fact, their mother was a Native ³ +³American from South America. ³ +³Mrs. X was a citizen of Chile. During the terrible days of ³ +³the Chilean revolution and the following years of ³ +³dictatorship she became involved in supporting Allende, the ³ +³legitimate Communist presidente of that suffering nation. ³ +³Then, the Communists were thrown out of office, with what ³ +³seems to be considerable support from the United States ³ +³intelligence community, Mrs. X, realizing that the Communist³ +³leader was far better for her country than the military ³ +³dictator, became quite vocal. Prudence dictated that they ³ +³flee while they were still alive. They went to Brazil. ³ +³ ³ +³The father and the daughters, my students, were American ³ +³citizens and I think the wife also was a U.S. citizen. ³ +³Peculiar things happened and they were unable to leave ³ +³Brazil for the United States. A long time passed and finally³ +³they made good their exit from Brazil before the authorities³ +³could catch on to their plan for legally leaving Brazil. ³ +³ ³ +³Both parents were professors at one of the Ohio state ³ +³universities. Both came in and lectured to my students about³ +³the primitive natives of South America and other peoples of ³ +³the world. ³ +³ ³ +³One day the gentleman told me about their experience with ³ +³Men In Black. ³ +³ ³ +³At that time the family lived in a community east of Dayton.³ +³By the time I had met them, the mother and both daughters, ³ +³because of their heritage, had been accepted into the local,³ +³urban, Shawnee Tribal Council. ³ +³ ³ +³What happened to them next is what we wish would never ³ +³happen in America. Someone was watching them. They ³ +³discussed the problem and decided that either a foreign or ³ +³United States intelligence organization was watching them ³ +³and at the same time intimidating them by being obvious. ³ +³They didn't consider the situation dangerous. ³ +³ ³ +³One evening two members of the Shawnee Indian Nation visited³ +³the family's home. The men in that council are large, for ³ +³the most part; very impressive physical specimens; proud ³ +³descendants of the famous Tecumseh. ³ +³ ³ +³Somewhere in the course of the conversation the one Native ³ +³American said, "There are two guys sitting out there in the ³ +³alley watching your house. What's going on?" ³ +³ ³ +³The response was, "Oh, those two sit out there about every ³ +³night. Don't worry about them. But they do make us nervous."³ +³ ³ +³The Shawnee replied, "Don't worry about them. We'll take ³ +³care of it." ³ +³ ³ +³The next night the black vehicle was once again parked in ³ +³the alley, both men, clad in dark clothing, were watching ³ +³the house. Suddenly the two Shawnee appeared, one on each ³ +³side of the car. ³ +³ ³ +³"Hey, man! What are you doing out here in the dark?" ³ +³ ³ +³The car windows were rolled down and the occupants had no ³ +³recourse but to respond. "Nothing. Just sitting here. We ³ +³aren't doing anything." ³ +³ ³ +³"Yes you are," said the deep voice of one of the Indians. ³ +³You are bothering our friends inside the house." ³ +³ ³ +³"No. We're just sitting here." ³ +³ ³ +³"Look, man, we say you are. Do you know what's behind your ³ +³car, at the end of this little alley? Well, I'll tell you. ³ +³There is a swamp. The swamp is deep and boggy. In fact, my ³ +³buddy and I could roll this car backwards into the swamp and³ +³it would sink and no one would ever find it. Get it? ³ +³ ³ +³Don't ever show up here again or bother our friends again or³ +³you will disappear forever." ³ +³ ³ +³My story teller, a college professor, mind you, laughed. ³ +³"They took baseball bats and smashed out all of the lights ³ +³and windows on the car. That's the last we ever saw of the ³ +³Men In Black." ³ +³ ³ +³Because of that story I never took The Men In Black very ³ +³seriously. I was prone to think they were costumed agents of³ +³a paranoid government agency running amok. ³ +³ ³ +³In the May 1992 edition of Lou Farish's UFO NEWSCLIPPING ³ +³SERVICE, there is an article that is far more serious than ³ +³what I have written. The validity of the report is ³ +³questionable. I don't know any of the people involved, ³ +³writers or witnesses.

So what +could be the purpose behind their visits? + + In September 1976, Dr Herbert Hopkins, a 58 year-old doctor +and hypnotist, was acting as consultant on an alleged UFO +teleportation case in Maine, USA. One evening, when his wife and +children had gone out leaving him alone, the telephone rang and a +man identifying himself as vice-president of the New Jersey UFO +Research Organisation asked if he might visit Dr Hopkins that +evening to discuss certain details of the case. Dr Hopkins +agreed; at the time, it seemed the natural thing to do. He went +to the back door to switch on the light so that his visitor would +be able to find his way from the parking lot, but while he was +there, he noticed the man already climbing the porch steps. "I +saw no car, and even if he did have a car, he could not have +possibly gotten to my house that quickly from any phone," Hopkins +later commented in delayed astonishment. + At the time, Dr Hopkins felt no particular surprise as he +admitted his visitor, The man was dressed in a black suit, with +black hat, tie and shoes, and a white shirt, "I thought, he +looks like an undertaker," Hopkins later said. His clothes were +immaculate - suit unwrinkled, trousers sharply creased. When he +took off his hat, he revealed himself as completely hairless, not +only bald but without eyebrows or eyelashes. His skin was dead +white, his lips bright red. In the course of their conversation, +he happened to brush his lips with his grey suede gloves, and the +doctor was astonished to see that his lips were smeared and that +the gloves were stained with lipstick! + It was only afterwards, however, that Dr Hopkins reflected +further on the strangeness of his visitor's appearance and +behaviour. Particularly odd was the fact that his visitor stated +that his host had two coins in his pocket. It was indeed the +case. He then asked the doctor to put one of the coins in his +hand and to watch the coin, not himself. As Hopkins watched, the +coin seemed to go out of focus, and then gradually vanished. +"Neither you nor anyone else on this plane will ever see that +coin again," the visitor told him. After talking a little while +longer on general UFO topics, Dr Hopkins suddenly noticed that +the visitor's speech was slowing down. The man then rose +unsteadily to his feet and said, very slowly; "My energy is +running low - must go now - goodbye." He walked falteringly to +the door and descended the outside steps uncertainly, one at a +time. Dr Hopkins saw a bright light shining in the driveway, +bluish-white and distinctly brighter than a normal car lamp. At +the time, however, he assumed it must be the stranger's car, +although he neither saw nor heard it. + + MYSTERIOUS MARKS + + Later, when Dr Hopkins family had returned, they examined the +driveway and found marks that could not have been made by a car +because they were in the centre of the driveway, where the wheels +could not have been. But the next day, although the driveway had +not been used in the meantime, the marks had vanished. + Dr Hopkins was very much shaken by the visit, particularly +when he reflected on the extraordinary character of the +stranger's conduct. Not surprisingly, he was so scared that he +willingly complied wdith his visitor's instruction, which was to +erase the tapes of the hypnotic sessions he was conductiog with +regard to his current case, and to have nothing further to do +with the investigation. + Subsequently, curious incidents continued to occur both in Dr +Hopkin's household and in that of his eldest son. He presumed +that there was some link with the extraordinary visit, but he +never heard from his visitor again. As for the New Jersey UFO + Dr Hopkins' account is probably the most detailed we have of +a MIB (Man in Black) visit, and confronts us with the problem at +its most bizarre. First we must ask ourselves if a trained and +respected doctor whould invent so strange a tale, and if so, with +what conceivable motive? Alternatively, could the entire episode +have been a delusion, despite the tracks seen by other members of +his family? Could the truth lie somewhere between reality and +imagination? Could a real visitor, albeit an impostor making a +false identity claim, have visited the doctor for some unknown +reason of his own, somehow acting as a trigger for the doctor to +invent a whole set of weird features? + In fact, what seems the LEAST likely explanation is that the +whole incident took place in the doctor's imagination. When his +wife and children came home, they found him severely shaken, with +the house lights blazing, and seated at a table on which lay a +gun. They confirmed the marks on the driveway and a series of +disturbances to the telepnone that seemed to commence immediately +after the visit. So it would seem that some real event occurred, +although its nature remains mystifying. + The concrete nature of the phenomenon was accepted by the +United States Air Force, who were concerned that persons passing +themselves off as USAF personnel should be visiting UFO +witnesses. In February 1967, Colonel George P. Freeman, +Pentagon spokesman for the USAF's Project Blue Book, told UFO +investigator John Keel in the course of an interview: + "Mysterious men dressed in Air Force uniforms or bearing +impressive credentials from government agencies have been +silencing UFO witnesses. We have checked a number of these +cases, and these men are not connected with the Air Force in any +way. We haven't been able to find out anything about these men. +By posing as Air Force officers and government agents, they are +committing a federal offence. We would sure like to catch one. +Unfortunately the trail is always too cold by the time we hear +about these cases. But we are still trying." + But were the impostors referred to by Colonel Freeman, and Dr +Hopkin's strange visitor similar in kind? UFO sightings, like +sensational crimes, attract a number of mentally unstable +persons, who are quie capable of posing as authorised officials +in order to gain access to witnesses; and it could be that some +supposed MIBs are simply psuedo-investigators of this sort. + One particularly curious recurrent feature of MIB reports is +the ineptitude of the visitors. Time and again, they are +described as incompetent; and if they are impersonating human +beings, they certainly do not do it very well, arousing their +victims' suspicions by improbable behaviour, by the way they +look or talk, and by their ignorance as much as their knowledge. +But, of course, it could be that the only ones who are spotted +as impostors are those who are no good at their job, and so +there may be many more MIB cases that we never learn about +simply because the visitors successfully convince their victims +that there is nothing to be suspicious about, or that they should +keep quiet about the visit. + +UNFULFILLED THREATS + A common feature of a great many MIB visits is indeed the +instruction to a witness not to say anything about the visit, +and to cease all activity concerning the case. (Clearly, we know +of these cases only because such instructions have been +disobeyed.) One Canadian UFO witness was told by a mysterious +visitor in 1976 to stop repeating his story and not to go +further into his case, or he would be visited by three men in +black. "I said, 'What's that supposed to mean?' 'Well,' he said, +' I could make it hot for you... it might cost you certain +injury." A year earlier, Mexican witness Carlos de los Santos +had been stopped on his way to a television interview by two +large black limousines. One of the occupants - dressed in a +black suit and 'Scandanavian' in appearance - told him: "Look, +boy, if you value your life and your family's too, don't talk +any more about this sighting of yours." + However, ther is no reliable instance of such threats ever +having been carried out, though a good many witnesses have gome +ahead and defied their warnings. Indeed, sinister though the +MIBs may be, they are notable for their lack of actual violence. +The worst that can be said of them is that they frequently +harass witnesses with untimely visits and telephone calls, or +simply disturb them with their very presence. + While, for the victim, it is just as well that the threats +of violence are not followed through, this is for the +investigator one more disconcerting aspect of the pnenomenon - +for violence, if it resulted in physical action, would at least +help in establishing the reality of the phenomenon. Instead, it +remains a fact that most of the evidence is purely hearsay in +character and often not of the highest quality; cases as +well-attested as that of Dr. Herbert Hopkins are unfortunately +in the minority. + Another problem area is the dismaying lack of precision +about many of the reports. Popular American writer Brad Steiger +alleged that hundreds of ufologists, contactees and chance +percipients of UFOs claim to have been visited by ominous +strangers - usually three, and usually dressed in black; but he +cites only a few actual instances. Similarly, John Keel, an +expert on unexplained phenomena, claimed that, on a number of +occasions, he actually saw phantom Cadillacs, complete with +rather sinister Oriental-looking passengers in black suits; but +for a trained reporter, he showed a curious reluctance to persue +these sightings or to give chapter and verse in such an important +matter. Such loose assertions are valueless as evidence; all +they do is contribute to the myth. + And so we come back once again to the possibility that there +is nothing more to the phenomenon than myth. Should we perhaps +write off the whole business as delusion, the creation of +imaginative folk whose personal obsessions take on this +particular shape because it reflects one or other of the +prevalent cultural preoccupations of out time? At one end of the +scale, we find contactee Woodrow Derenberger insisting that the +"two men dressed entirely in black" who tried to silence him +were emissaries of the Mafia; while at the other, there is +theorist David Tansley, who suggested that they are psychic +entities, representatives of the dark forces, seeking to prevent +the spread of true knowledge. More matter-of-factly, Dominick +Lucchesi claimed that they emanated from some unknown +civilisation, possibly underground, in a remote area of Earth - +the Amazon, the Gobi Desert or the Himalayas. + But there is one feature that is common to virtually all MIB +reports, and that perhaps contains the key to the problem. This +is the possession, by the MIBs, of information that they should +not have been able to come by - information that was restricted, +not released to the press, known perhaps to a few investigators +and officials but not to the public, and sometimes not even to +them. The one person who does possess that knowledge is always +the person visited, In other words, the MIBs and their victims +share knowledge that perhaps nobody else possesses. Add to this +the fact that, in almost every case, the MIBs appear to the +witness when he or she is alone - in Dr Hopkin's case, for +example, the visitor took care to call when his wife and +children were away from home, and established this fact by +telephone beforehand - and the implication has to be that some +kind of paranormal link connects the MIBs and the persons they +visit. + +TRUTH - OR PARANOIA? + To this must be added other features of the phenomenon that +are not easily reconciled with everday reality. Where are the +notorious black cars, for instance, when they are not visiting +witnesses? Where are they garaged or serviced? Do they never get +involved in breakdowns or accidents? Can it be that they +materialise from some other plane of existence when they are +needed? + These are only a few of the questions raised by the MIB +phenomenon. What complicates the matter is that MIB cases lie +to the totally incredible. At one extreme are visits during +which nothing really bizarre occurs, the only anomalous feature +being, perhaps, that the visitor makes a false identity claim, +or has unaccountable access to private information. At the other +extreme are cases in which the only explanation would seem to be +that the witness has succumbed to paranoia. In "The Truth +About the Men In Black", UFO investigator Ramona Clark tells of +an unnamed investigator who was confronted by three MIBs on 3 +July 1969. "On the window of the car in which they were riding +was the symbol connected with them and their visitations. This +symbol had a profound psychological impact upon this man.

Both appeared to +be in their mid-thirties, and wore couriously old-fashioned +clothes. The woman looked particularly odd; when she stood up, +it seemed that there was something wrong with the way that her +legs joined her hips. Both strangers walked with very short +steps, leaning forward as though frightened of falling. + They sat awkwardly together on a sofa while the man asked a +number of detailed personal questions. Did John and Maureen +watch television much? What did they read? And what did they +talk about? All the while, the man was pawing and fondling his +female companion, asking John if this was all right and whether +he was doing it correctly. + John left the room for a moment, and the man tried to +persuade Maureen to sit next to him. He also asked her "how she +was made", and whether she had any nude photographs. + Shortly afterwards, the woman stood up and announced that +she wanted to leave. The man also stood, but made no move to go. +He was between the woman and the door, and it seemed that the +only way she could get to the door was by walking in a straight +line, directly through him. Finally the woman turned to John and +asked: "Please move him; I can't move him myself." Then, +suddenly, the man left, followed by the woman, both walking in +straight lines. They did not even say goodbye. + + ***End*** + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Dozens of them are presently on file. Often in + + +these accounts, military personnel respond quickly to a developing situation, + + +enact a carefully-planned set of procedures (like photography, mapping, + + +interviews, etc.); then, usually, the evidence is carted away to an unknown + + +location for further study. That's what the rumors tell us. + + + You must have thought at times, while digesting these rumors, that such + + +step-by-step action must have been scripted; that there muct have been guide- + + +lines to follow for everuthing to have been done so thoroughly and properly + + +that not a stick of residue was left.

The context of this codename to the rest of the published data was + + +unclear, but the fact that it repeatedly turned up in documents dealing with + + +UFOs told us that is was worth checking.

What he had found was + + +quite revealing. + + + As a result of inquiries by Todd about Moon Dust, and other matters, the + + +Air Force released a letter on August 20, 1979. It was identified as "AFCIN-1E- + + +O", dated 3 November 1961.

Intelligence's quick reaction projects. It is probable here that + + +"UFO" refers to Blue Book. + + + + + We have pointed out in CLEAR INTENT (pg. 9) that often the prefix word + + +"Blue" has been used in connection with high-altitude vehicles, and it appears + + +in several fact, and rumor, UFO projects. Here we see it again in "Blue Fly," + + +which provided for transportation of Moon Dust material. And what did Moon + + +Dust material include? Among other things, it included things acquired from + + +the recovery and/or field exploitation of UFOs! Note how UFOs are set apart + + +from Soviet/Bloc aerospace vehicles. Since the Soviets were the only other + + +real space power in the world at the time, besides the U.S., what could have + + +been meant by setting off UFOs as a separate subject of investigation? If they + + +were British, or another nation's space vehicle, why not say this, as it was + + +said for the Soviets? + + + + + Note that Moon Dust and "other items of great technical intelligence + + +interest" were sent to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson + + +AFB in Ohio, under Project Blue Fly. FTD was the parent group for Project + + +Blue Book. Coincidence? + + + + + Originally, Blue Book's investigative functions were partly aided by + + +personnel of the 4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS). Part of it's + + +mission during WW2, and later in peacetime, was to "exploit downed people, + + +paper and hardware" for intelligence information. The 4602nd's operations were + + +trans- ferred to AFCIN in July 1957, which then assigned the 1006th AISS most + + +of the 4602nd's operations. The 1006th was re-designated the 1127th Field + + +Activities Group in 1960. These units all performed UFO investigations for + + +Blue Book, but were trained for and capable of additional activities in the + + +event that one of these UFOs had crashed somewhere. + + + + + We discuss the operations of a possible "quick response unit" in CLEAR + + +INTENT, pg 111. Our point in that discussion was that such a unit would come + + +under the highest security classification. Any admission that a UFO phenomenon + + +was real and unexplainable would not be in the government's best interest to + + +state, considering the still-existent debunking policy. Certainly here we see + + +UFO investigation linked to the highest levels of the U.S. Air Force. + + + + + When did Moon Dust begin? We aren't sure but it likely dates from the + + +beginnings of Blue Book at least, i.e. the early 1950s. It's entirely possible + + +that the 1952 crashed disc incident reported in letters by Rear Admiral + + +Herbert Knowles (see Just Cause, March 1986) could have been investigated + + +under Moon Dust, if it were called that then. It certainly fits the criteria + + +for attention, as described in the Air Force's 1961 letter. + + + + + Compelling evidence for the Moon Dust/ crash retrieval link and its + + +early origins appears in Donald Keyhoe's 1955 book, THE FLYING SAUCER CONSPIR- + + +ACY. Note these extracts: + + + + +[Pages 214-15] + + + Two days after this Lou Corbin called me to report another develop- + + + ment. + + + + + "Do you know anything about a `crashed-object' program?" he asked me. + + + + + "No. Whose project is it?" + + + + + "It's an Air Force deal, unless somebody's trying to trick me. You've + + + heard of the 4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron, of course?" + + + + + "Yes. It's a hush-hush unit. They have investigators in all Air + + + Defense Squadrons." + + + + + "Well, I've been contacted by one of them. First I thought it might + + +be some kind of hoax. But I've double-checked, He actually is with the + + +4602nd." + + + + + "Sounds queer, Lou. They're not supposed to talk to anyone outside of + + + intelligence." + + + + + "I know. But he may be under special orders. Anyway, he's against the + + + secrecy policy. He told me the 4602nd has a special program called the + + + `investigation of unidentified crashed objects.'" + + + + + "If it's true, that IS big." I said. "It could mean theyve actually + + + got their hands on some flying saucers." + + + + + "He wouldn't admit that," said Corbin. "But I got the impression they' + + + they'd recovered some kind of `objects'--probably something dropped from + + + a saucer." + + + + + At 2:00 P.M. on November 30 [1954?] a mysterious bright flash in the + + + sky was reported simultaneously in Atlanta, Newman, and Columbus, + + + Georgia; in Sylacauga and Birmingham, Alabama; and as far away as + + + Greenville, Mississippi. This brilliant light was immediately followed + + + by a series of strange explosions, apparently centered high in the sky + + + above Sylacauga. + + + + + Moments later a black object, six inches in diameter, crashed into + + + the home of Mrs. Hewlett Hodges. + + + + + Smashing a three-foot-wide hole in the roof, the shining black object + + + tore through the living-room ceiling. Striking the radio, it bounced + + + off and gashed Mrs. Hodges' arm. + + + + + Meanwhile, the mysterious explosions had caused a hurried Air Defense + + + alert. A three-state search for fallen objects was immediately begun by + + + squadrons of Air Force planes. + + + + + When word of the "Sylacauga object" reached the Air Force, Intelli- + + + gence officers flew to the scene from Maxwell Air Force Base at Mont- + + + gomery . Explaining that "the Air Force is required to examine such + + + strange objects," they whisked it away to Maxwell Field, from which it + + + was flown immediately to ATIC. + + + + + An hour or two later the object was labeled a meteorite. + + + + + As soon as this appeared in the papers, I received a call from Lou + + + Corbin. "It's plain that this is part of the Air Force `unidentified + + + crashed-objects' investigation. They must believe the thing is linked + + + with the saucers." + + + + + "It doesn't look like a coincidence," I said, "that this object fell + + + fell just after those explosions. If it had been a meteor exploding, it + + + wouldn't have made such a bright flash in the daytime." + + + "In the first news story," Corbin told me, "it was called an uniden- + + + tified flying ovject. At least that's the way the Maxwell Field + + + officers explained why they had started the search." + + + + + "This reminds me of that East New Haven signboard case," I commented. + + + "On that occasion the object wasn't recovered. Judging from the size of + + + the hole it made, however, it was probably about the same size." + + + + + Later FOIA requests have indicated that the DIA is currently the res- + + +ponsible agency for Moon Dust documentation. However, access is not being + + +allowed because such access would reveal intelligence methods and are thus + + +exempt from FOIA. + + + + + NASA has been involved as wall, as this extract from a Jan. 13, 1969, + + +memo indicates: + + + + + "The undersigned {Richard M. Schulherr} visited the Foreign Technology + + + Division of the Air Force Systems Command, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, + + + 9 Jan. 1969. The purpose of this trip was to identify specific items of + + + space debris which had been forwarded to NASA and to re-establish per- + + + sonal liason with newly-assigned FTD Moondust personnel." + + + The Air Force's Moon Dust activity, as well as Blue Fly, is, in their + + +words "no longer active." Perhaps the projects no longer go by these names but + + +surely the procedures have not become obsolete. There is still a need to react + + +to unknown vehicles landing on our soil. At the very least, national defense is + + +served by such reaction. + + + + + One last thought. Could an MJ12-type committee have begun Moon Dust as + + +a reaction to early UFO events like Roswell?

FILE: UFO2552 + + + + + + From 'The Unexplained' No. 10. Orbis Publishing. 1991. + + As UFO sightings increase, so allegedly does the harassment +of witnesses - by the sinister so-called Men In Black. + + Albert Bender, director of the International Flying Saucer +Bureau, an amateur organisation based in Connecticut, USA, once +claimed to have discovered the secret behind UFOs. But +unfortunately, the rest of the world is still none the wiser - +for Bender was prevented from passing on his discovery to the +world by three sinister visitors: three men dressed in black, +known as 'the silencers'. + It had been Bender's intention to publish his findings in +his own journal, Space Review. But before committing himself +finally, he felt he ought to try his ideas out on a colleague. +He therefore mailed his report. A few days later, the men came. + Bender was lying down in his bedroom, overtaken by a sudden +spell of dizziness, when he noticed three shadowy figures in the +room. Gradually, they became clearer. All were dressed in black +clothes. "They looked like clergymen, but wore hats similar to +Homburg style. The faces were not clearly discernible, for the +hats partly hid and shaded them. Feelings of fear left me... The +eyes of all three figures suddenly lit up like flashlight bulbs, +and all these were focussed upon me. They seemed to burn into my +very soul as the pains above my eyes became almost unbearable. +It was then I sensed that they were conveying a message to me by +telelathy." + + Bender's visitors confirmed that he had been right in his +speculations as to the true nature of the UFOs - one of them was +actually carrying Bender's report, and provided additional +information. This so terrified him that he was only too willing +to go along with their demand that he close down his organisation, +cease publication of his journal at once, and refrain from +telling the truth to anyone 'on his honour as an American +citizen.' + But did Bender really expect anyone to believe his story? His +friends and colleagues were certainly baffled by it. One of them, +Gray Barker, even published a sensational book, 'They Knew Too +Much About Flying Saucers'; and Bender himself supplied an even +stranger account in his 'Flying Saucers and the Three Men' some +of what had occurred from former colleagues. + He told an extraordinary story, involving extraterrestrial +spaceships with bases in Antarctica, that reads like the +far-fetched contactee dream-stuff; and it has even been suggested +that the implausibility of Bender's story was specifically +designed in order to throw serious UFO investigators off the +track. + However, believable or not, Bender's original account of the +visit of the three strangers is of crucial interest to UFO +investigators, for the story has been parelleled by many similar +reports, frequently from people unlikely to have heard of Bender +and his experiences. UFO percipients and investigators are +apparently also liable to be visited by men in black (MIBs); and +although most reports are from the United States, similar claims +have come from Sweden and Italy, Britain and Mexico. Like the UFO +phenomenon itself, MIBs span three decades, and perhaps had +precursors in earlier centuries. + + VISITATIONS + + Like Bender's story, most later reports not only contain +implausible details, but are also inherently illogical: in +virtually every case, there seems on the face of it more reason +to disbelieve that to believe. But this does not eliminate the +mystery - it simply requires us to study it in a different light. +For whether or not these things actually happened, the fact +remains that they were reported; and why should so many people, +independently and often reluctantly, report such strange and +sinister visitations? What is more, why is it that the accounts +are so mimilar, echoeng and in turn helping to confirm a +persistent pattern that, if nothing else, has become one of the +most powerful folk myths of our time? + The archetypal MIB report runs something like this: shortly +after a UFO sighting, the subject - he may be a witness, he may +occurs so soon after the incident itself that no official report +or media publication has taken place: in short, the visitors +should not, by any normal channels, have gained access to the +information they clearly possess - names, addresses, and details +of the incident, as well as those involved. + The victim is nearly always alone at the time of the visit, +usually in his own home. The visitors, usually three in number, +arrive in a large, black car. In America, it is most often a +prestigious Cadillac, but seldon a recent model. Though old in +date, however, it is likely to be immaculate in appearance and +condition, inside and out, even having that unmistakable 'new +car' smell. If the subject notes the registration number and +checks it, it is invariably found to be a non-existent number. + The visitors themselves are almost always men: only very +rarely is one a woman, In appearance, they conform pretty closely +to the stereotyped image of a CIA or secret service man. They +wear dark suits, dark hats, dark ties, dark shoes and socks, but +white shirts: and witnesses very often remark on their clean, +immaculate turn-out, all the clothes looking as though just +purchased. + + The visitors' faces are frequently discribed as 'vaguely +specified in many accounts. If not dark-skinned, the men are +likely to be very heavily tanned. Sometimes there are bizarre +touches: in one case, for instance, a man in black appeared to be +wering bright lipstick! The MIBs are generally unsmiling and +expressionless, their movements stiff and awkward. Their general +demeanour is formal, cold, sinister, even menacing, and there is +no warmth or friendliness shown, even if no outright hostility +either. Witnesses often hint that they felt their visitors were +not human at all. + Some MIBs proffer evidence of identity; indeed, they +sometimes appear in US Air Force or other uniforms. They may also +produce identity cards; but since most people would not know a +genuine CIA or other 'secret' service identity card if they saw +one, this of course proves nothing at all. If they give names, +however, these are invariably found to be false. + The interview is sometimes an interrogation, sometimes simply +a warning. Either way, the visitors, even though they are asking +questions, are clearly very well-informed, with access to +restricted information. They speak with perfect, sometimes too +perfect, intonation and phrasing, and their language is apt to be +reminiscent of the conventional villains of crime films. + + MENACING ENCOUNTERS + + The sinister visits almost invariably conclude with a warning +not to tell anybody about the incident, if the subject is a UFO +percipient, or to abandon the investigation, if he is an +investigator. Violence is frequently threatened, too. And the +MIBs depart as suddenly as they came. + Most well-informed UFO enthusiasts, if asked to describe a +typical MIB visit, would give some such account. However, a +comparative examination of reports indicates that such 'perfect' +MIB visits seldom occur in practice. Study of 32 of the more +reliable cases on file reveals that many details diverge quite +markedly from the archetypal story: there were, for instance, no +visitors at all in four cases, only subsequent telephone calls; +and, of the remainder, only five involved three men, two involved +four, five involved two, while in the rest there was mention only +of a single visitor. + Although the appearance and behaviour of the visitors does +seem generally to conform to the prototype, it ranges from the +entirely natural to the totally bizarre. The car, despite the +fact that in America it is by far the commonest means of +transportation, is in fact mentioned in only one-third of the +reports; and as for the picturesque details - the Cadillac, the +antiquated model, the immaculate condition - these are, in +practice, very much the exception. Of 22 American reports, only +nine even include mention of a car; and of these, only three were +Cadillacs, while only two were specified as black and only two as +out-of-date models. + On the other hand, such archetypal details tend to be more +conspicuous in less reliable cases, particularly those in which +investigators, rather than UFO percipients, are involved. The +case that comes closest to the archetype is that of Robert +Richardson, of Toledo, Ohio, who in July 1967 informed the Aerial +Phenomena Research Organisation (APRO) that he had collided with +a UFO while driving at night. Coming round a bend, he had been +confronted by a strange object blocking the road. Unable to halt +in time, he had hit it, though not very hard. Immediately on +impact, the UFO vanished. Police who accompanied Richardson to +the scene could find only his own skid marks as evidence; but on +a later visit, Richardson himself found a small lump of metal +which might have come from the UFO. + Three days later, at 11 pm, two men in their twenties +appeared at Richardson's home and questioned him for about 10 +minutes. They did not identify themselves, and Richardson - to +his own subsequent surprise - did not ask who they were. They +were not unfriendly, gave no warnings, and just asked questions. +He noted that they left in a black 1953 Cadillac. The number, +when checked, was found not yet to have been issued. + A week later, Richardson received a second visit, from two +different men, who arrived in a current model Dodge. They wore +black suits and were dark-complectioned. Although one spoke +perfect English, the second had an accent, and Richardson felt +there was something vaguely foreign about them. At first, they +seemed to be trying to persuade him that he had not hit anything +at all; but then they asked for the piece of metal. When he told +them it had gone for analysis, they threatened him: "If you want +your wife to stay as pretty as she is, then you'd better get the +metal back". + The existence of the metal was known only to Richardson and +his wife, and to two senior members of APRO. Seemingly, the only +way the strangers could have learned of its existence would be by +tapping either his or APRO's telephone. There was no clear +connection between the two pairs of visitors; but what both had +in common was access to information that was not freely and +publicly available. Perhaps it is this that is the key to the MIB +mystery. + ************ +[On the page is also a boxed article titled; IN FOCUS THE MAN WHO +SHOT A HUMANOID, reproduced below.] + + One inclement evening in November 1961, Paul Miller and three +companions were returning home to Minot, North Dakota, after a +hunting trip when what they could only describe as 'a luminous +silo' landed in a nearby field. At first they thought it was a +plane crashing, but had to revise their opinion when the 'plane' +abruptly vanished. As the hunters drove off, the object +reappeared and two humanoids emerged from it. Miller panicked and +fired at one of the creatures, apparently wounding it. The other +hunters immediately fled. + On their way back to Minot, all of them experienced a blackout +and 'lost' three hours. Terrified, they decided not to report the +incident to anyone. Yet the next morning, when Miller reported +to work (in an Air Force office), three men in black arrived. +They said they were government officials - but showed no +credentials - and remarked unpleasantly that they hoped Miller +was 'telling the truth' about the UFO. How did they know about +it? 'We have a report,' they said vaguely. + 'They seemed to know everthing about me; where I worked, my +name, everthing else,' Miller said. They also asked questions +about his experiences as if they already knew the answers. Miller +did not dare tell his story for several years. + *****End***** + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Nicholas is a graduate of Terra Technical College, and is a +professional research technologist for a solar cell manufacturing firm. He +about thirty years old and has been interested in the UFO phenomena all his +life. The following is a brief of the summarization of his research as +outlined in Dr. David Gotlib's Bulletin of Anomalous Experience; +"Magnetic Implant Response" and "Magnetism, UFO Abductions and the +Anomalous". Nicholas does not belong to any large UFO group ( e.g. MUFON, +CUFOS, etc. ) and has been involved in this research for the past three +years. Some of the following "quoted" passages are directly from sources +listed above. + +New observations which may well be some of the most significant discoveries +made in regard to abductions, UFOS and mind control were first investigated +in the Autumn of 1990. These tests and experiments were performed by +Nicholas Reiter and his colleague (AR) in the Dallas area with confirmed +abductees using a techniques that can easily be duplicated. + +The objectives of these two were; +1. Can the UFO abduction process be understood in the terms of specific + technology? +2. Can the abduction implant devices, recalled so often under hypnosis, be + objectively detected, studied, and possibly neutralized by electrical, + magnetic, or otherwise energy-related means? +3. Can a system of defense be developed against the protocol ? + +Assumptions for the research/experimentation; + +1. There exists an intelligence, of unknown origin and nature, which + is currently carrying out an agenda of experimentation, manipulation, + and/or resource acquisition using the human race, or certain members + thereof, as unwilling subjects. +2. The agenda given in assumption 1 is being carried out with the use + of highly advanced technology. +3. This technology appears to be, at least partially, based on forms of + energy, or energy-matter relationships, which are currently unknown to, + or unacknowledged, by classical physics. +4. The human race has the undeniable right to defend itself to the best of + it's ability, against the abduction agenda. + +The first set of experiments involved trying to find a means to elicit a +tangible objective response from abduction implant devices. AR first +noticed a "weird" sensation in her volunteers when a large ( flux density +measured at approx. 2000 gauss) horseshoe magnet had been held up to the +region of the volunteers head where, under hypnosis, the volunteer had +recalled aliens "doing something to her". The sensation was extraordinary +vivid and disturbing to the volunteer. It seemed to be both mental and +physiological in nature. In nearest terms it was a "panic" response, a +mental feeling of terror or extreme apprehension, coupled with a verified +rise in pulse rate and perspiration. + +The volunteer (V#1), said that the panic response seemed to duplicate the +feeling that she had been subject to in the past, shortly before an +abduction related event would occur. Over the course of the following weeks +several different tests were conducted with the subject V#1. + +1. A large electromagnet ( 1000 turns of #14 AWG wrapped around an iron +core) was substituted for the horseshoe magnet. This coil was energized +both with 110VAC and later with 6VDC, in different tests. The response for +both were smaller in magnitude than the horseshoe magnet although the +symptoms were the same. + +2. While using the horseshoe magnet a piece of steel was placed between +the poles to divert the magnetic flux away from any external regions of +the magnet. This test was performed to determine if the actual flux lines +were involved in the response or whether the response was based on other +"virtual" effects of magnet. + +3. The response (hereafter called the Magnetic Implant Response or MIR) +seemed to first appear when the magnet was moved within 18 inches of the +volunteer's response region (area of the implant). From this distance +inward, the intensity increased. + +4. The Tesla Coil Suppression Effect (TCSE) was discovered. This will be +discussed later. + +Nicholas and AR then started testing other volunteers in Jan 1991. Previous +to this their research was being performed with the assistance of V#1 only. +On Jan 8, they tested another confirmed volunteer. No communication was +allowed between V#1 and V#2. The symptoms experienced by V#2 were identical +to those of V#1. + +Over the course of the next few months, two other volunteers were tested. +V#3 showed a positive reaction with consistent symptoms. V#4 however, felt +no response or sensations. + +Nicholas and AR started researching the nature of the abductions +experienced by all volunteers. They found that V#1, V#2 and V#3 were +"classical" abductees, though their specific experiences and ordeals were +different. Each recalled\, during either their regression, or waking +memories, the phenomena most often experienced by those who have been +repeatedly abducted (e.g. Grey entities, quasi-medical protocols, possible +implant insertion, etc.). V#4's abduction experience were quite "non- +standard" and may involve different phenomena. + +It was decided that the research should then continue. The second phase of +experimentation continued. AR reported the following; V#1 was placed in +a chair, and was tested for MIR. Results were positive. An 18 inch tall +Tesla spark gap coil was set up in front on V#1. The coil was turned on +and allowed to operate for several minutes ( then coil's power was adjusted +to produce a 4 inch discharge at the secondary. Exact construction details +are available from Nicholas Reiter). + +V#1 was then checked for MIR and the results were negative. The MIR had +vanished. V#1 was checked again 24 hours later and the results were still +negative. The nullifying effect lasted for approximately six days. When it +DID return it was at a much diminished magnitude. From this observation +it was inferred that the MIR had not been eliminated, but had been in some +way deadened or temporarily stunned. + +V#2 was similarly tested with the Tesla coil and the results were +identical. The MIR ceased for a period of time. + +Another interesting effect was noticed by V#1. She was given the Tesla coil +to take home with her. On several occasions, specifically on certain +evenings V#1 would get the feeling that unseen entities were nearby. She +found that by switching on the tesla coil, the sensation would vanish, as +though the coil was disrupting or driving away the invisible force. + +This concludes the studies performed by Nicholas Reiter in conjunction +with AR. + +Nicholas has continued his research. Lack of volunteers prompted him to +start research in a slightly different vein. He started testing subjects +randomly, business associates, friends, family, and people on the street +were tested with some surprising results. + +The subjects were told that some people have the ability to "sense" +magnetic fields for unknown reasons and that he (Nicholas) would like to +determine if they ( the volunteers/subjects) can detect them as well. + +The volunteers were placed in a comfortable chair. A galvanic skin response +indicator was placed on the second and third fingers of the left hand. The +volunteer was then shown the magnet (similar to the one used in the +original experiments). The volunteer is asked to verbalize any feelings or +sensations which they might experience during the test. The subject is then +blindfolded and a few minutes are allowed to let the galvanic skin response +monitor to "settle out". + +At this point, the magnet is then moved slowly and randomly around the +head. Spacing is kept at two inches at all times from the subjects head. +Sensations, feelings and GSP monitor response are observed and recorded. +When the test is completed the volunteers are thanked and released. If +permitted the age, sex, occupation and names were recorded. + +Out of the first 24 subjects tested 5 showed a positive response to this +procedure. One or more of the following characteristics were noted in each +case; + 1. A feeling of apprehension or panic. + 2. A sensation of pressure or tightness + 3. A feeling of disorientation + 4. Dark, formless shape moving against closed eyelids. + 5. Uncontrollable finger twitching + +None of the five random positive response cases were totally identical +in symptom. However, the following characteristics were common in all five +cases; + +1. The feeling was weird or unpleasant. +2. Extreme nervousness and anxiety was present +3. The effect was vivid and definite. +4. The GSR monitor tone increased, indicating increased bodily + perspiration. +5. The response occurred at a single, definitive location on each subjects + head. + +The areas included were; +Case #6 - behind and below the left ear. +Case #2 - left temple ( in front of, and slightly above left ear) +Case #3 - "above nose, somewhere between and behind the eyes. +Case #13 - Left temple +Case #21 - Above and slightly behind left ear + +-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- +The above test results were obtained during 1991 and published that same +year. further testing is being done at this time.

It was written +and contributed by Dr. Richard Neal OB./GYN +Dr. Neal has been following and investigating the abduction/missing fetus +syndrome. +__________________________________________________________________ + + + MISSING EMBRYO/FETUS SYNDROME: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS + +Introduction: + + Over the past several years there have been many female abductees who +are complaining of alleged missing pregnancy. They are relating this to an +humanoid-alien intervention. + +The "abduction scenario" is a bizarre aspect of the UFO phenomena;it becomes +even more bizarre when we check and see that there is no existing data +available to researchers on these occurrences. Are we on the verge of breaking +new ground with this segment of the UFO phenomenon and/or is this so deeply +embedded into the some women's subconscious that we have yet developed a +technique to extrapolate this information for further collaboration? + + Many researchers have claimed that they have several cases of Missing +Embryo/Fetus Syndrome (ME/FS) in their files. Yet +during my research over the past three years into this particular phenomena, +all have failed to produce even one verified case. The question is why? + + Are these female abductees really undergoing a missing pregnancy, +allegedly perpetrated by alien beings, or is this a problem that could be +explained as a complication of pregnancy in the field of Obstetrics. Is it +possible that we are looking at a form of hysteria associated with the +abduction syndrome that leads to amenorrhea (temporary cessation of menstrual +cycle) secondary to a post-traumatic experience. Perhaps this is a new +psychological manifestation of a post-traumatic experience with interwoven +aspects of the Old Hag Theory. + + I have researched the literature to see if any similar cases were +documented in the past. I will also present certain medical information that +could lead to criteria review guidelines which are essential in the +documentation of a potential ME/FS. This article will attempt to explain why +varification of none of these cases are forthcoming and point out the constant +frustration in seeking specific information from females abductees in order to +substantiate their claims. + +Definition of Missing Embryo/Fetus Syndrome + + Particular female abductees allege that a pregnancy usually between 6 +weeks to 12 weeks (1 1/2 - 3 months) is missing due to purported alien +intervention. Although the distinction between embryo and fetus is essentially +arbitrary, it is customary to refer to the human conceptus, from fertilization +through the first 8 weeks of development, as an embryo, and from 8 weeks +after ovulation until term, as a fetus. + +Typical Scenario + + Female abductee experiences a nocturnal visitation in which she is taken +from her bedroom to a waiting craft-type object, either landed or hovering +slightly above the ground or some surroundings not familiar to her. These +individuals are taken into what appears to be some type of examination room in +which they are placed on a table. Abductees report they are usually +administered some form of anesthesia either through the touching of an +instrument to the head, alien hands applied to the temporal area,telepathically +told to relax and that it would not hurt or given some form of liquid for oral +intake obstensibly to alleviate apprehension. Most report some type of +quasi-gynecological exam;however, they are unsure if any instruments are being +placed into the vagina. A long needle inserted into the umbilical area is +widely reported by these individuals. Its purpose is unknown, but speculation +could point to a mini-laparoscopy in which there may be extraction of ova from +the ovary or a procedure known as G I F T (Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer) +which in the field of obstetrics and reproductive medicine treats infertility +by placing sperm and oocytes directly into the infertile woman's fallopian +tubes for in vivo fertilization. + +Past History Literature/Correspondence + + Early literature does not point to any similarity of ME/FS;however, the +Old Hag Theory has experienced some form of sexual activity, but mostly it +resembles the well-known nocturnal visitation. The Old Hag Theory or the +experience of being hagged as found in Newfoundland tradition has been +summarized as follows: + +1) Awakening (or an experience immediately preceding sleep). 2) Hearing and/or +seeing something come into the room and approach the bed. +3) Being pressed on the chest or strangled. +4) Inability to move or cry out until either being brought out of the +state by someone else or breaking through the feeling of paralysis on +one's own. + + There have been some sexual connotations from this, but it is very rare +and debatable between some of the top experts in the field. In his book "The +Terror that Comes in the Night," David J. Hufford reveals that through his +research, and I quote, "The presence of overt sexual content as a frequent +feature of the nightmare probably is also highly debatable. I have +encountered a few explicit sexual details in Old Hag accounts, but these are +rare and are not typically major components of a given experience. Some +overtly sexual accounts have appeared in the course of my +investigation, but these differed from the Old Hag in that they have lacked the +paralysis feature and, in several cases, fear. These probably constitute either +a distinct subtype of the experience or a different phenomenon altogether." + + John Keel's 1970 book, Strange Creatures from Space and Time,included a +chapter entitled, "The Bedroom Invaders," writes, and I quote, " In the past +three years we have published two popular magazine articles on these bedroom +invaders, and we were amazed by the amount of mail thoses pieces drew. Many +readers wrote to tell us, sometimes in absorbing detail, of their own +experiences with this uncanny phenomenon. In most cases these experiences were +not repetitive. They happened only once and were not accompanied by any other +manifestations. In several cases the witnesses +experienced total paralysis of the body. The witness awoke but was unable to +move a muscle while the apparition was present." + + In corresponding with Dr. Eddie Bullard, and I quote, "Regarding the +"Missing Embryo/Fetus Syndrome," I'm afraid that I have little to say. This +element did not appear in any of the abduction stories I studied. A +preoccupation with reproduction is a common theme from the earliest abductions +onward, and a few stories describe rape,sexual activity, and events that might +be described as artificial insemination or tampering with a pregnancy already +underway, but I noticed nothing in the literature (up to 1986 or there abouts) +comparable to the missing embryo motif. [underlined by author]" Bullard had +related that he could not say anything with certainty and feels this +phenomenon in question must await further evidence. + + Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, who could be credited for doing hypnotic regression +sessions in well over 300 individuals and is considered one of the early +pioneers in research of the abduction phenomena,made several interesting +statements, and I quote, "In the 70's, I talked with perhaps a dozen women who +describe unusual menstrual discharge and/or changes in cycles. However, I have +no medical information." Also he mentions, "In a few instances, women wrote to +me about strange "dreams" of sexual activity with aliens, then describing +pregnancies that resulted in birth of babies with "big eyes" and great psychic +abilities." Where are the photographs of these kids or evidence that they have +psychic components? I was given the name of a physician to write to who has +allegedly worked with women who gave birth to "Space Kids." It has been well +over six months since I corresponded with this individual; needless to say I am +extremely skeptical of such claims and the authenticity of his research. +Finally Dr. Sprinkle mentions, "However, I have not yet worked with a woman who +claims an interrupted pregnancy and an awareness of the child. [underlined by +author]". + + The first case of ME/FS appears in Budd Hopkins book, Intruders: The +Incredible Visitation at Copley Woods involve witness Debbie Tomey (aka "Kathie +Davis"). Debbie is quite convinced that her abduction experience occured as +she describes it. I have met and corresponded with Debbie on numerous +occasions and feel that she is a very sincere and down to earth type individual +and would have no reason to fabricate such a story. + + I have personally researched three cases in Southern California; however, +each one can be explained as a complication from pregnancy not associated with +any alien intervention. When questioning the female abductee one of the first +questions asked is, "If you were indeed pregnant, was this from your male +companion (husband or male partner)?" If not, the next question is, "Why do +they think it may be related to an alien impregnation?" + What really bothers me about this alien impregnation is this: How does +the female abductee think she became pregnant? Was it with direct sexual +activity with an alien being or unknown to her? Alleged Pathology reports of +the alien beings showed no evidence of external genitalia. Len Stringfield, in +his paper, The UFO Crash/Retrieval Syndrome - Status Report II, describes the +body of an alien being (grey alien) as given to him by +an anonymous individual that had first hand knowledge of this. I quote, "No +apparent reproductive organs. Perhaps atrophied by evolution degeneration. No +genitalia. In my non-professional judgement, the absence of sexual organs +suggest that some of the aliens, and perhaps all, do not produce as do the homo +sapiens, or that some of the bodies studied are produced perhaps by a system of +cloning or other unknown means." + + Certainly the so called "greys" are not the culprits, particularly if you +are relating this to direct sexual activity. If there is indeed alien +spermatozoa, where does it come from? If we are taking into consideration that +some form of sexual activity,genetic manipulation and/or reproductive research +is being conducted, could it be that another alien species working with the +greys are responsible or guardians of this reproductive research studies on +female abductees. Using your own creative imagination you can develop your +own hypothetical scenario as to how the victim/abductee relates to this +"immaculate conception" from alien intervention. + +Rape/Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome to Female Victims/Abductees + + Although this aspect has not been brought up with female victims/abductees, I +feel it is an issue that needs to be address-ed in regards to sexual activity +and ME/FS. We have to face facts or speculate as to whether a sexual +molestation or rape has occurred. All of this intervention has allegedly +happened without the consent of the female, and she experiences fear, pain, +humilation and is powerless to protect herself. In this country only two out +of every ten victims of sexual assault report this incident to the proper +authorities. + + In setting up a hypothetical situation involving female victims/abductees +we could consider the following: Who will the victims/abductees report their +sexual assault to? It is difficult in itself for females to report this +experience period. When there is the potential of an extraterrestial or unknown +factor brought into play, the magnitude of this even becomes greater. + + Obtaining a history of the event is necessary, but asking questions may be +interpreted as a further invasion of the victim's privacy. Some victims may +welcome the opportunity to ventilate their feelings and may express relief at +having someone willing to listen, while others may resist answering questions. +Pressuring them to talk may add to their trauma. Both responses +are normal and should be respected. The latter group could be associated with +the female abductees who chose not to reveal this deep dark secret. Perhaps +some of these females may have a suppressed sexual child abuse history that +has not been explored. Let us assume for this article that the +victim/abductee has been raped by an alien or non-humanoid being. Burgess and +Holmstrom have labeled the victim's reaction to rape the Rape Trauma +Syndrome. They describe the following two stages: (1) the acute phase +(disorganization); and (2) the long term process (reorgan-ization). The acute +phase lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Initially, in the immediate impact +reaction of the acute phase, the victim may display and feel a wide range of +emotions, including shock and disbelief. Victims may either react in an +expressed style, demonstrating anger, fear and anxiety, or in a controlled +style, masking their feelings and appearing composed or subdued. A victim's +outward behavior may not reflect the degree or nature of the emotional crisis +she is experiencing. + + Many rape victims may suffer from a post-traumatic stress disorder. This +is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM - +III) as the development of characteristics symptoms after experiencing of a +psychologically traumatic event or events outside the range of human experience +usually considered to be normal. The characteristic symptoms involve +reexperiencing the traumatic event, numbing of responsiveness to, or +involvement with, the external world, and a variety of other autonomic +dysphoric, or cognitive symptoms. The diagnostic criteria for this disorder is +listed under Table I. + +Table I. -Diagnostic Criteria for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder + +Existence of a recognizable stressor that would evoke significant symptoms +of distress in almost everyone. Reexperiencing of the trauma as evidenced by +at least one of the following: + +Recurrent and intrusive recollections of the event. + +Recurrent dreams of the event. + +Sudden acting or feeling as if the traumatic event were recurring, +becuase of an association with an environmental or ideational +stimulus. + +Numbing of responsiveness to, or reduced involvement with, the external +world, beginning some time after the trauma, as shown by at least one +of the following: + +Markedly diminished interest in one or more significant activities. + +Feeling of detachment or estrangement from others: Constricted affect. + +At least two of the following symptoms that were not present before +the trauma: + +Hyperalertness or exaggerated startle response. + +Sleep disturbances. + +Guilt about surviving when others have not, or about +behavior required for survival. + +Memory impairment or trouble concentrating. + +Avoidance of activities that arouse recollection of the +traumatic event. + +Intensification of symptoms by exposure to events that +symbolize or resemble the traumatic event. + + The rape victim is particularly vulnerable to manifesting this disorder +because of the following characteristics of the rape: (1) it is sudden, and +the victim is unable to develop adequate defenses; (2) it involves intentional +cruelty as inhumanity; (3) it makes the victim feel trapped and unable to +fight back; and (4) it often involves physical injury. + + Female victims/abductees will ignore discussing the sexual encounters with +reserchers possibly because of rejection, embarrassment, fear and guilt. They +will, however, share their experience with other abductees or +writer-researchers in the UFO community that have had National Exposure and +could perhaps understand their plight. + +--End of File-- + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

Looked +like around 1000 or so people were gathered in the +Doubletree for the pre-symposium festivities, and the +promised ISSUES Forum table was set up in the lower part of +the lobby (by the waterfall, near the guitar player). + +There were 10 or so members of ISSUES and NEWAGE around +there, and after some intros and conversation, five of us +adjourned to Baca's Restaurant for some New Mexican cuisine +and paranormal tabletalk. + +A good time was had by all, and we returned to the hotel. +Joe Balsamo, David Brune and I retreated to David's room... +ah, SUITE... and had fun trying to tie in Joe's PowerBook to +the phone system. Finally got online, proving it can be +done, and that pretty much did it for the evening. + +Expect some more detailed reports from us tomorrow, probably +late evening. The symposium has events scheduled from 9:00am +to around 10:00pm, with meal breaks. + +Looks like this is going to be a real fun time! There are +numerous dignitaries here (Joe and David thought they might +have recognized Bob Lazar), and we'll have detailed info on +that as stories develop. + +---------------------------------------------------- + +SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1992 + +Hello again from the MUFON Symposium in Albuquerque! + +Much much much happened today, and I took notes. We'll see +how much of it I can cram into this Forum before it bursts. + +I first went into the Dealers' Room and checked out the +goodies; this was just a cursory overview, and I'll go into +more detail later. + +I again ran into Joe Balsamo and David Brune, who were +standing around Stanton Friedman's table awaiting +autographs. Lost sight of them shortly thereafter, and +didn't see them again until after lunch. + +There were 14 sessions scheduled for today, ranging in +(scheduled) length from 30 minutes to 1 hour (I thought it +interesting that the session titled "Fifty-six Aircraft +Sightings Involving Electromagnetic Effects" was allocated +55 minutes). + +They got off to a late start, due to long lines at the +registration tables. The 9:00am "Welcome" speech didn't +start until almost 9:30, and everyone ran long anyway... + +After the welcome and intro, the first session started. This +was one of the best of the day, titled "The UFO Jigsaw," and +given by Linda Moulton Howe. Linda started with a quick +overview of UFO history, from the 1947 Roswell crash to more +recent sightings, various alien types, animal mutilations, +and crop circles. She had an entertaining and enlightening +slide show with some video mixed in. Many of the slides +consisted of drawings by witnesses, and illustrated the +surprising correlation between totally separate reports. +Other slides covered animal mutilation shots (including some +very recent ones) and other related material. She also +showed a short video of Bob Lazar, a video about crop +circles, and a real interesting video taken at the site of a +crop circle, at which a small white object was observed +apparently floating a few inches above the ground and moving +about slowly, approaching the camera and moving about. +Eerie! + +This was a particularly interesting session to me, as I had +"heard" about much of this stuff on CompuServe, but had +never seen the videos presented. + +The next session was the "Fifty-Six Aircraft Pilot +Sightings..." session, given by Dr. Richard F. Haines. +Though this contained some interesting data assembly, it was +DRY. I faded out a few times during this one. Lots of +reading of statistics and numbers. A few interesting graphs. +Basically, Dr. Haines had correlated and analyzed data from +several inflight UFO incidents, and found some interesting +characteristics. For instance, most of the incidents +occurred between 9:00 and 11:00pm (local) and shortly after +midnight. However, there was no pattern of aircraft type or +nationalities involved. Most such reports came from U.S. +Military aircraft and foreign commercial planes. U.S. +commercial planes, foreign military aircraft, and private +aircraft accounted for relatively few sightings. All but one +of the engine failure incidents were propeller/reciprocating +engine craft; only one jet aircraft reported such. + +The next session started up, "The Role of the Mutual UFO +Network in UFO Research," given by MUFON International +Director Walter H. Andrus. This was almost entirely a slide +show depicting buildings and personnel of MUFON and a few +other UFO research groups. Mr. Andrus had some difficulty +with the slide projector controller, and almost every time +he tried to change to the next slide, he jumped ahead two +slides and had to back up one. This was mildly amusing at +first, but after a half hour and no improvement, it began to +resemble the Chinese Water Torture. + +Mr. Andrus broke off halfway thru his presentation to allow +the lunch break on schedule. + +I went foraging with ISSUES Forum members Jan Murdoch and +Terry Rodemerk; we found that most of the food +establishments around the Convention Center (which is in +Albuquerque's downtown area) were closed on weekends, but we +found a little sandwich & burger place that wasn't too bad. + +After lunch, I went in to scope out the Dealer Room in more +detail. First impression: BOOKS. Lots of books. Literally +hundreds of titles, mostly UFO-based (natch). These and +other titles ranged from the serious to the absurd; topics +covered included Mu, Abominable Snowmen, Future Sex, Flying +Serpents and Dragons, Kohoutek (Really! Kohoutek!), +Nostradamus (but not Nostra-Dennis), Uri Geller and more and +more. + +Besides the books were some other items, including cute +little stuffed Greys, bumper stickers ("MJ-12 Staff Car", +"This car stalls for UFOs", etc.), T-shirts (serious and +humorous; my favorites were the ones with the "cattle +crossing" sign, with UFOs or Greys depicted--another touted +"The University of Pleiades"), some jewelry (both Native +American silver-and-turquoise Albuquerque tourist stuff and +UFO-related; my fave here was a bolo tie with the head of a +Grey as the clasp), little UFO spinning tops, and several +MUFON items (mugs, license plate covers, bumper stickers, +etc.). + +Back to the seminar room! + +First, Mr. Andrus finished off his "faces & names" slide +show. + +Next up was Mr. Montague Keen of Suffolk, England, to +enlighten us on what's up with crop circles. He was a +fascinating fellow, and gave an excellent presentation +filled with that famous dry British humor (or humour, I +guess I should say!). He described several theories floating +around trying to explain these things, but it was clear that +there is still no definitive explanation for them. He did +mention that they've started up again this year, and that +there have been more than 70 of these things that have +cropped up (sorry) in England alone since April. He brought +up the two guys who confessed to being the cause of all the +circles last year, and pointed out that the paper that +reported them in the first place basically retracted the +story the next day, but the international press somehow +missed that aspect of the story. + +The next session was "Photo Analysis: A Pictorial Primer," +given by Jeffrey W. Sainio, a photo analyst from Wisconsin +who has done much analysis of UFO pics. This was a most +interesting presentation, pretty much all slides, with +discussion of how hoax pictures are often identified. He +didn't seem to want to commit himself as far as any given +pictures being outright fake or genuine, but (interestingly) +spent a lot of time on some of the Ed Walters photos (no +relation, though my father's name WAS Ed), and apparently +was unable to find any indication of fakery within. He +showed a couple of the Meier photos, and showed some +questionable discrepancies there. Good demo of simple visual +cues as well as some more sophisticated photo computer +enhancement and analysis. + +Next was "Ufology in the Commonwealth of Independent +States," given by Vladimir Ajaja, President of the Soviet +UFO Center in Moscow. Dr. Ajaja spoke in Russian, and his +translator was heavily accented and hard to understand. + +I had again run into NEWAGE's Joe Balsamo and David Brune, +and we left at the beginning of this session for a dinner +and... a little field trip. + +---------------------------------------------------- + +FIELD TRIP: MONZANO BASE + +Joe & Joe & Dave left the Convention Center, only to +discover that for the second day in a row it was raining in +the desert land. We headed across Albuquerque to the eastern +edge of town, south of Interstate 40, to the area nearest to +that part of Kirtland AFB called Monzano Base. + +The mountain range north of I40 is called the Sandias; the +Monzanos start on the south side of the highway. In recent +years, the city has developed right up to the fence marking +the boundary at Monzano, so we were able to drive right up +to the edge of the base. + +We took some pictures (and will scan & upload before long) +and saw some interesting things. The area in question +consists of a joined series of four hills, arranged +north-south. Inevitably, this area has become known as the +"four hills" area. + +The northernmost hill (the largest, several hundred feet +high) was the closest, and apparently the most interesting. +There was some sort of structure on the top of this hill +(might be a couple of trailers or small white buildings; two +antennas are visible as well); it was the only man-made +thing visible on any of the four hills themselves. Around +the base of the hills are several smaller structures; a few +house-sized buildings, some groups of buildings among some +trees, and several trapezoidal-shaped concrete walls with +doors (identical to the entrances to bunkers you see at +nuclear weapons storage facilities) leading into the hills. + +It is well known that these hills are riddled with caves and +tunnels (man-made), and that nuclear warheads have been +stored here. Every year or so, a local camera crew gets to +go inside and shoot some footage. This usually consists of +long empty hallways with a few people walking about. We +never get to see what, if anything, is stored in there. + +However, a TV news report here just last week showed that a +new nuke storage facility underground on the southern part +of Kirtland had been opened, all the nukes from Monzano had +been moved to this new facility, and that the Air Force had +given over the Monzano facility to the Department of Energy. +They had no idea what was in there. + +This is the place often rumored as the final storage site +for the 1947 Roswell saucer, among other related relics. I +don't know; could be anything. + +Circling (I use the word "circling" here loosely) the entire +facility is a wide strip (about 100 meters wide) of +clean-scraped earth, on which rest 4 concentric rings of +fence. Within the fence is a circular set of power lines, +with power poles alternating with light fixtures (the area +is not visibly lighted at night; they may be UV or some +such). Not an easy area to sneak into! We could see that +there were signs at intervals along the internal fences, but +we could not get close enough to see them. We speculated +that they might be "Deadly Force" warning signs, but could +not tell. Perhaps another time... + +The fence we were actually up against was a couple of +hundred yards away from the high-security fence, and was +topped with barbed wire. Signs warned us that entry was +forbidden without the Base Commander's permission; this was +the true boundary of Kirtland Air Force Base. I expected it +would be safe enough to cross that fence, and that we could +probably make it up to near the security fence, but would +probably make some new acquaintances at that point. Local +housing developments literally reach right up to this fence. + +In the four years I've lived here, I've never seen a sign of +life in or near the Monzano base. As far as I could tell by +sight, the thing could have been abandoned. Imagine our +surprise when a tan Suburban truck suddenly appeared, +driving slowly around the perimeter on obvious patrol. This +was inside the high-security fence, too far away for us to +read any markings on the truck. + +Whatever is in there, whatever, it is clearly considered +important enough to someone to warrant nuclear-level +security and constant patrols (in vehicles, not just on +foot!). + +During my own time in Strategic Air Command in the Air +Force, as a KC-135 pilot, I saw many of the typical nuclear +weapons storage facilities at SAC bases with bomber wings; +this looked far more secure. + +Rumors abound locally of dog patrols, ground-based motion +sensors, mines between some rows of the fences, electrified +fences and more. Just rumors. Who knows? + +---------------------------------------------------- + +DINNER & BACK TO THE SHOW + +Following the Field Trip, the three of us adjourned to +Garduno's (put a squiggle over that "n") for the best +available meal experience in Albuquerque. Amidst the live +mariachi music, we stuffed ourselves full of chips & salsa, +some terrific New Mexican entrees, sopapillas, and a couple +of large margueritas (except for the designated driver), and +we conversed over the events of the day. + +All this took a little longer than planned, so we missed the +next scheduled session, "Forbidden Science: The UFO +Phenomenon and the Research Community" by Dr. Jacques +Vallee. We arrived just as that had ended, and there was a +small crowd around Dr. Vallee, including a TV crew with the +attendant bright lights. + +The last session of the night was the eagerly-awaited +"Abduction Observed by Independent Witnesses" by Bud +Hopkins. + +Just before this started, I realized I had left my name tag +in my car, so I had to go back and get it so the Men In +Badges would let me back in to the conference room. I made +it back just in time, and as I reentered the Convention +Center, I had to hold the elevator door for three folks +hurrying to get on board. I didn't realize until they were +up on the stage that these three folks were Hopkins, "Linda" +(more about whom later), and another woman with them. Dang! +Had them all alone and didn't know it! + +Hopkins wasted no time getting into the details of an +interesting case, one that has been discussed online to some +extent recently. This event occurred in New York City in +November of 1989. + +He had received a letter from this "Linda" (we didn't yet +know she was present) detailing an abduction event; he had +interviewed her and basically filed the info away with other +reports. Some time later, he got a letter from two policemen +who had witnessed an abduction and wanted to come forward; +turns out they had seen Linda's abduction. Drawings made +independently by the cops and another witness who later came +forward matched astoundingly well, and corroborated Linda's +story. + +As time went on, the story began to take strange turns. The +cops had a hard time dealing with what they had seen, and +took on some strange behavioral patterns (including watching +Linda in her apartment without her knowledge, sleeping with +weapons ready against the possibility of the aliens coming +after them, and more). Then it turned out they weren't cops, +but were intelligence agents for an unnamed organization; +they had been escorting an unnamed government VIP, who had +also witnessed the event, and were trying to determine the +correct actions to take. + +Hopkins made it clear that he had determined what agency +these two worked for, and who the "third man" was, but +wouldn't reveal these sources, a condition of their coming +forward. He indicated that he felt that they would reveal +themselves before long. + +Well, it wasn't over yet. Linda had long complained to her +doctor about a sensitive spot in her nose; he finally +convinced her to allow him to X-ray her. Hopkins showed a +slide of the X-ray, which showed a spiral-shaped implant +clearly visible within the nose. He said that the night +after the X-ray was taken, Linda awoke suddenly with blood +on her lower face and hand and no idea of what had happened. +She hadn't received the developed X-rays yet, but after they +arrived and she saw the implant, she had another X-ray taken +and the implant was gone. Hopkins speculated that bombarding +the thing with X-rays may have set off some alarm somewhere, +and they may have come back to retrieve it. + +In a later conversation with her young son, Linda was +horrified to learn that he had been abducted some months +before her event; he asked why she didn't wake up and help +him while he was screaming and crying at being taken by +these little grey characters. She took her son to see +Hopkins, who had him draw a picture, which he showed us on +the slide screen. A typical child's drawing, it nonetheless +clearly depicts exactly the same type of scene witnessed at +her abduction. + +But wait, there's more! The two cops/intel guys showed up at +her place unannounced one day and demanded to talk to her +alone; she offered to have them come in, call Bud Hopkins +over, and they could talk. They didn't like that, and after +further refusal, bodily carried her out to their car and +drove off with her. They interrogated her for some time, +asking if she was trying to trick or hoax them, if she was +trying to mess with their lives. They had her take her shoes +off so they could examine her feet--they said that they +thought she might be one of "them," and that they knew what +their feet looked like: they had no toes. + +They discussed National Security with her and took her home. + +Some time later, she awakened at night choking on something; +turns out she had a nosebleed on the right side. Her husband +awoke too, also with a nosebleed on the right side. Her son +and a friend sleeping over also awoke with nosebleeds on the +right side. This was apparently very recent, as they haven't +followed up on it yet; Hopkins said they would be X-raying +them all, but hadn't yet. + +He said there was still more to this story, but as time was +running out, he brought Linda up on stage, and she answered +a few questions from the audience. + +Well, this was a pretty spooky session, and the last item on +the agenda was a Q&A session with all the day's speakers on +the panel. Not much new came up here, and this was cut short +by the fire alarm going off. False alarm, but it did clear +the building. There was much joking speculation as to who +set it off... + +That's it for today (and that's ENOUGH!). Tomorrow is the +last day of the Symposium, and features five sessions and a +few other events. + +---------------------------------------------------- + +SUNDAY, JULY 12, 1992 + +The 1992 MUFON Symposium is over, and, though I can't speak +for the others, I'm about UFO-ed out! And it was the third +consecutive day of rain here in the desert. + +Well, apparently I was up too late last night typing +something (can't imagine what), as I overslept about an hour +today. I made it to the Convention Center today during the +last part of the first session. Sorry! Sue me. Hopefully, +someone else will give a comprehensive report of that +session. + +The first session was "UFOs and Ufology in Brazil," by +Phillippe Piet van Putten, listed as MUFON National Director +for Brazil. He spoke decent enough English that we could +understand him very well. As I arrived, he was just showing +a slide of some runners in a footrace, with an amorphous +blob visible in the sky in the background. Missed what that +was about. + +He then showed a video that appeared to me to be taken from +a Brazilian TV show (or several shows and news reports). The +sound was off, as the soundtrack was in Portuguese anyway; +van Putten narrated. The video showed several Brazilian +military and air traffic control officials, talking about +live and on-radar sightings of UFOs; there were also shots +of some of the 150 passengers on a Brazilian jetliner that +witnessed a UFO flying near their plane. Officials included +the Minister of Aeronautics, who stated outright that "we +have secret UFO files in the Air Force." There was a +description of a sighting (on radar) of a group of 21 +objects, and fighters (F-5s and Mirages) were scrambled. We +saw some of the pilots, and the video had an animated +recreation of what they were describing (similar look to the +animations we see on US network news shows). These UFOs +appeared to be spherical in shape, slightly smaller than the +planes, and changing colors rapidly. The planes and UFOs +were depicted as moving at the same speed, with the spheres +moving around the planes in flight. + +There was a long shot of what appeared to be a sphere of +indeterminate size floating above Sao Paolo and changing +color and perhaps spinning (hard to tell). In addition, +there were many shots of blurry objects in the sky and +witnesses on-camera. He also showed some slides of toy +balloons, which he said are often launched into the air at +night in Brazil with fireworks attached; the resulting light +show (a) is entertaining, and (b) tends to generate lots of +UFO reports. + +He described several incidents and eyewitness accounts, +including some with numerous witnesses. He concluded by +mentioning that these reports came from military officers, +government Ministers, air traffic controllers, professional +people and others. He said, "These people... are... not... +idiots." This clearly heartfelt line, delivered with much +emphasis and emotion, drew lengthy applause. + +Either he started late or ran long (or both), as I was still +able to get so much from this presentation. van Putten was a +most entertaining speaker. + +The second session was "Operation Blue Fly" by Clifford +Stone, UFO researcher from Roswell, New Mexico. He began +with the basic history of the Roswell crash of 1947 (I won't +duplicate it here, as there are at least three good books +out on the subject!), and mentioned two military programs, +called Project Moondust and Project Blue Fly; Moondust was +ostensibly designed for recovery of space debris from US +sources, but according to a mission document Stone showed, +its true purpose was the recovery of "Soviet and unknown +space debris." He had received a copy of the mission +document in (I think) 1952, which was at the time mostly +uncensored; he then showed a later copy of it he had +petitioned for via Freedom of Information (hoping to get the +few parts of the doc that had been blanked out on his +original), and what he got was a document composed entirely +out of blank pages. It had been classified after the fact, +and when he wrote back with some sample text from his copy, +he was accused of violating national security. + +Stone then went into the Blue Fly project, which he said was +formed for the purpose of rapid deployment, quick response +for recovery of Soviet equipment. He learned of 38 documents +relating to this project, and sent for them; all were +unreleasable. + +From there, he detailed attempts by New Mexico Senators Jeff +Bingaman and Pete Domenici to acquire information on the +Roswell incident, and went into long detail as to the +stonewalling they encountered. + +Stone had some interesting info, but was highly +disorganized, often stopping in mid-sentence to page thru +his notes looking for something. Still, it was a decent +presentation. And if the two Senators are still interested +in trying to get some of this data out, perhaps something +will come of it eventually. + +Next was "The Missing Embryo/Fetus Syndrome" by Richard M. +Neal, M.D., a gynecologist and MUFON consultant. This was +rather clinical, and a bit hard to follow for us non-medical +types; basically, he noted that many of the reported +abductions by women include mention of examinations and/or +interference of this type, some of these turn up apparently +pregnant sometime after the incidents, only to find that +there is no fetus present. If there were any conclusions +from this, they were probably summed up in a slide which +stated that there was no indication of missing pregnancy +(i.e. feti generated and removed) in abductees. + +There were slides of examinations of some patients, mostly +ultrasound and a few internal fiber-optic camera fetus +shots. + +There were also a few external exam photos explicit enough +to make me wonder if the patients in question knew their +more personal areas were being displayed openly on a big +screen to an audience of thousands... + +These latter shots were shown primarily to show some scars +and incisions that apparently occurred during the abduction +events; they were horrifyingly mindful of some of the scenes +in cattle mutilation shots, but on a smaller scale. + +What a great session to put just before lunch! + +David Brune and I, along with Cherry Kilgore (a +telecommunications user from a GEneric non-CIS online +service), went exploring for lunch sites, and happened into +a what turned out to be a horrible greasy-spoon place called +Lindy's. Worst chicken fried steak I've ever eaten in 30+ +years of CFS connoisseur-ship. At first, I thought they had +put brown gravy on the thing (Horrors! A sure sign of yankee +influence!), but it turned out not to be gravy--rather, it +was a brownish substance roughly the consistency of water, +which quickly made the Fries inedibly soggy. Well, sometimes +life gives you fish cookies. + +We took our time on the lunch break, and returned during the +next session, "Global Ufology: Worldwide Cases, Official +Policies, and Ufological Attitudes" by J. Antonio Huneeus, +MUFON International Coordinator from New York City. + +He covered a lot of international incidents, and was into +the Belgian flap when we came in. He showed slides, almost +all of which were "artists' conceptions," depicting the +incidents that have occurred recently in that part of the +world. He showed a video of a production shown in Russia, +with a few very blurry shots of glowing lights in the night +sky. Some indistinct photos appeared here. He also showed +some shots from various other European countries and Japan, +including some Japanese crop circles. He said there had been +over 100 crop circles in Hokkaido alone in 1991. + +The pictures from Japan were a pleasant sight, after the +fuzzy blurry European shots. Huneeus mentioned this point, +and said that there were more good UFO pics coming out of +Japan than anywhere else. He didn't think that there were +more UFOs there, but that there were more cameras! He has a +point. He told us to compare with what's coming out of +Russia: lots of text reports, few pictures. + +Walter Andrus (MUFON Director--see yesterday's report) came +up at this point to present an annual MUFON award (sorry I +missed its name!), and there was much applause. + +The final session was Stanton T. Friedman's presentation on +"Crashed Saucers, Majestic-12, and the Debunkers." Much of +this was description of the Roswell incident, which is +covered in detail in several books; Friedman himself has a +new book on the subject, called "Crash at Corona." (Corona +is a little town northwest of Roswell, near the ranch where +the crash occurred.) + +He spent some time discussing this and debunkers (I gather +he doesn't like debunkers; he gave this subject a lot of +time, and put them down throughout the talk). + +Lastly he went into Majestic-12, describing the events +around the revelation of the documents describing this +organization. He talked of attempts to debunk the MJ12 +papers, and went into some detail as to why he believed them +genuine. + +Friedman was a very dynamic speaker, and gave a terrific +presentation, including some slides. Good conclusion to a +good show! + +After this, David Brune and I went thru the Dealer Room for +one last time, just to see if there was anything left to +tempt us. David bought a T-shirt, and we both almost +collapsed on the floor laughing when we picked up a book and +looked thru it. The book was "Galactic Gourmet." That's +right, a gen-u-ine UFO cookbook. Recipes included the +ever-popular Alpha Centauri Meat Loaf, Andromeda Chicken and +Rice, Martian Tacos (they have tacos on Mars now? What do +they call it, Mars-Mex??), the dreaded Neptune Frankfurter +Lima Bean Bake, a frightening concoction called Asteroids +Zucchini Loaf, Flying Saucer Pancakes, UFO Apple Crunch +Residue, and, for dessert, Unidentified Frozen Object. +Jeez!!! We noted that most--if not all--of the recipes, +interestingly enough, consisted of only Terrestrial +ingredients. + +David and I ran into Joe Balsamo, and we decided to skip the +final Q&A session. I left for home. + +Great show! It's a real advantage to have a national show +come to your home town, but most of the crowd was +nonetheless from out of town. Pretty much everyone seemed to +enjoy themselves, and the presentations left much to think +about. + +It was also fun to meet Joe Balsamo, David Brune, Terry +Eckert, Terry Rodemerk, Jan Murdoch, and a few others from +NEWAGE and ISSUES Forums. + +Keep watching the skies! + +-JTW + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

There is life on other worlds. +Aliens may already walk among us, unknown, unrecognized, but with +calculated purpose, and official "first contact" with extraterrestrials -- +at best, with mutual distrust -- could occur by the year 2000. + +These were the principal viewpoints advanced by two leading space +researchers -- Dr. Thomas McDonough and Robert Emenegger -- involved +in the ongoing exploration for civilizations elsewhere in the Milky +Way or other galaxies, and by viewers of the syndicated cable +television show, "Dateline: USA," polled in a follow-up, national +survey. + +Spurred by a discussion of "The Invaders Plan" -- the best-selling first +volume of L. Ron Hubbard's new, landmark 10-volume "Mission Earth" +dekalogy of an invasion of Earth recounted entirely by aliens "who already +walk, work and conspire among us" -- Emenegger cited U.S. government +files, now secret and inaccessible, that he has been shown by Air Force and +other government officials documenting landings by unidentified flying +objects (UFOs). + +Emenegger -- who told the "Dateline: USA" audience that his initial contact +with UFO sightings, by government invitation, was as a "disinterested and +frankly skeptical outsider" -- referred specifically to a 1977 "close +encounter," an actual UFO landing at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. +The incident is described in detail in his book, now in its sixth printing, +"UFOs: Past, Present and Future." + +Emenegger also briefly described what he called a recent contact -- +witnessed by at least a half dozen U.S. government officials -- with the +pilot of a spacecraft he said identified himself as coming from the planet +Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun in the solar system. + +McDonough, coordinator of the Planetary Society's Search for +Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program, confirmed recent widely +published reports in a number of major publications of growing evidence +of the development or suspected existence of planetary systems -- and +possible life forms -- around other stars in our own and distant galaxies. +These include Vega, Beta Pictoris, and, possibly, Barnard's Star, which, +only six light-years away, is the closest of the three to Earth. + +A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in a year -- +roughly 6 trillion miles. + +A member of the prestigious International Astronomical Union, Fellow of +the British Interplanentary Society, recipient of a special NASA citation for +his work on the Pioneer spacecraft flyby of the planet Saturn and holder of +a doctorate in astrophysics from Cornell University, McDonough told the +"Dateline: USA" audience that the National Aeronautics and Space +Administration's Hubble space telescope, scheduled to be launched in 1986, +could extend mankind's view of the origin of the universe and the development +of mature planetary systems -- and possible evidence of life on other worlds +-- to or very close to its projected beginnings some 10 billion to 20 billion +years ago. + +It was pointed out that with the stars in the Milky Way estimated at between +100 billion and 200 billion, and the number of galaxies and of stars per +galaxy in the observable universe equaling, and perhaps exceeding, that +figure by at least three or four times, the number of other possible planetary +systems and planets capable of sustaining intelligent life forms must fall well +within the range -- very conservatively -- of 50 million to 100 million. + +The poll of more than 2,500 "Dateline: USA" viewers in 20 major +metropolitan markets across the United States -- from New York to Los +Angeles -- disclosed that nearly 60 percent of the respondents not only +believe there is intelligent life on other planets, but that "they've been +watching us for quite a while, and some of them -- for whatever reasons, +perhaps like the aliens in Hubbard's novel, 'The Invaders Plan' -- may even +be living next door." + +Asked if they concurred with a U.S. State Department official's statement to a +congressional committee that "aliens from other solar systems are a potential +threat to us and we are a potential threat to them," 45 percent agreed "we +would have to fight to protect ourselves"; 35 percent thought "we might be able +to benefit mutually from one another"; and the remainder largely felt that "an +invasion by a civilization that could travel through space and find us -- and +our space probes have made no secret of how to get here -- would be just too +powerful to resist." + + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

These experiences are the basis for my interest in the +topic, of course. I hope some will find what I have to relate to be +interesting. + +In 1974 and 75 I was a teenager living In Ozark, Alabama. Ozark was +and still is a very small town. My friends and I used to enjoy +sneaking out of the house late at night to romp about the neighborhood +(I am sure many can relate to this.) One summer night in 74, we were +walking down the street when a small but intense light moving in the +sky caught our attention. I can not remember it's color but I do +remember it was at an angle of about 45 degrees and was moving in a +very strange fashion. It was bobbing about kind of like a hand-held +flashlight seen from a distance. Well, we stopped and stared at it +for several seconds when it appeared to begin to move closer to us, +moving in burst of zig-zag motion. Someone yelled "run", and we did, +not stopping until we had covered the few blocks to my house. I do +not remember stopping to see if it was still in the sky when we +got to my house. + +I could not tell how big the object was or how far away it was. It was +just a strange, bright light. Now for the subjective part. When we saw +the light, we all instantly new it was 'alien' and that it was under +intelligent control. If any readers have seen something similar, you +know what I mean. There was no debate concerning what it might be. +It was beautiful, exciting and frightening. + +The next summer (75) again found a group of friends and myself out +in the wee hours. On this occasion, we were sitting on some park +benches, talking and admiring the clear starry sky when a bright +light rose above the eastern skyline. It was small, but brighter +than any star. It rose to about 30 degress and then began to 'dance' +for us. I have never seen anything more exciting. It would zig-zag +about and then stop and then start again. Sometimes it would disappear +like a light being turned off, only to re-appear a few seconds later. +It was visible for a long time, at least 10 minutes, probably more. + +This was perhaps the most profound and exciting experience of my life, +and I live for adventure. There was just no doubt that the light +was under non-human control. It moved in patterns. But not human +patterns, more like a bee or hummingbird, +searching for nectar among the flowers (although sometimes the bee +was on powerful stimulants :) ) + +I can understand why people doubt that there are non-humans interacting +with this planet and it's resources. But if they could see one of +these lights, they would know (Lest Ye see signs and wonders, Ye +will not believe.) + +Finally, let me comment on a related topic - the famous black unmarked +helicopters. These helicopters definitely do exist. I saw several +two summers ago at Fort Huachuca Az. They were sitting out in plain +view at the base airport. One of my companions pointed them out +to me. He was genuinely suprised to see such a thing. This really +struck me because he is a long-time consultant to the Intel. community +and I would have figured he would be beyond suprise at such things. +Another of my companions is a helicopter pilot and he told me what +type they were. If anyone is interested I could ask him again. + +Fort Huachuca is headquarters for Army Intelligence. The CIA and DEA +also have offices there. I suspect that these helicopters are intended +to be used for covert operations in general. I was there in an attempt +to get a software contract with the Army. + +These are my observations, along with some opinions. I will share +more opinions later. + +-Greg +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Courtesy of ParaNet-The world's leading UFO Investigative News Network + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.

When the proceedings of the +Boston conference emerge you will find a short paper by myself titled: +Abductions:the Paranormal connection." +For now I will simply list some quotes for people to track down the fuller +references. +1. "Too many witnesses related occurrences more often identified with +parapsychology than Ufology, yet these same witnesses described abductions as +valid as any others." Bullard, T.E. (1987). "UFO Abductions:The Measure of a +Mystery." Washington. Fund for UFO Research. Page 152. +2. "..the fact is that many people who have been abducted do subsequently +have psychic and sometimes psychokinetic ability...In many instances it seems +to have preceded the UFO sightings but also seems to have been much enhanced +afterwards." Dr James Harder in Fuller, C.G. et al (1980). "Proceedings of the +First International UFO Congress." New York. Warner. Page 354. +3. "I believe this superior imagery ability, coupled with the high ESP scores +in other experiments, and the very clear incidence of paranormal experiences in +abductees' lives, will prove to be the key to the entire mystery, for these +seem to be the only things that make them in any way different from evryone +else..." Randles, J. (1988). "Abduction." London. Robert Hale. Page 208. +4. "Another feature which this and many other cases turned up was that the +witnesses who had experienced abductions had an incredible history of what they +believed to be psychic phenomena. This is usually so extensive and important +that this may be no mere coincidence but a crucial clue to the understanding of +why they subsequently went through an abduction." Randles, J. (1988.) +International UFO Reporter. Jan/Feb. Page 7. +5. "They (abductees KB) tend to be people with either a long history of +possessing psychic abilities, or they seem to develop psychic abilities as a +result of their experiences." Rogo, D.S. (1980.) "UFO Abductions." New York. +Signet. Page 15. +These quotes will give you some material to follow up. +In private discussions with Jenny Randles, from the UK, she confirms my +Australian findings ( see the paper in the International UFO Reporter May/June +1990 titled: "Australian abductions:an Update.") that almost all abductees +reveal a high incidence of self reported paranormal events-far higher than the +average population reports. +I understand that Budd Hopkins has also found, but refuses to publish details +of, the same thing. It is therefore a pity if MUFON does have a policy as +stated. I suspect we need to broaden out interest in abductions to cross- +reference with parnaormal events.

English + UFINET News and Information Service + + INTRODUCTION: + + For many years, UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects and their research + have been classed among the fringe elements of our society. Looked upon as + being somewhat of a cult and most certainly inhabited by screwballs and + nut-cases. + Those who have had Abduction experiences suffer trauma not only from the + experience, which in many cases is not remembered on a conscious level, but + also from the trauma of being ridiculed by their peers. + To often, the circumstances surrounding a legitimate Abduction case are + clouded with extraneous issues that seem to complicate the initial issue of + abduction by a possible Alien life form. Additionally the very nature of + those issues often cloud the judgement of even the most experienced + investigator of the UFO Phenomenon. This is due largely in part because of + the Investigator's desire to find empirical evidence to support the existence + of UFOs. + As a result of this, over the past twenty years the majority of UFO + Investigators have totally ignored another, and perhaps most important aspect + of UFOlogy. The possible connection of Paranormal experiences to UFO + abductions. + Over the years we have equated Paranormal Activities, such as + channeling, psycho-kinetics, manifestations of odd noises, telepathy, and a + host of other things associated with it, as being totally separate from UFO + Investigations. However a recent review of files and information for the past + twenty years has shown a possible connection between the two. + Most notably this connection seems to be associated with the Abduction + Phenomenon as shown by Doctor Leo Sprinkle in his work as early as 1963. + In an article written by Dr. Sprinkle which appeared in "Psychotherapy + in Private Practice" Vol.6(3) 1988, he had this to say; + ".......in our contemporary society, those persons who describe + paranormal/psychic/spiritual crises, or emotional trauma from memories of + possible past lives, often are faced with scoffing or skeptical reactions -- + not only from their friends and relatives, but sometimes from professional + persons, including psychotherapists. + And, if a person describes a UFO experience (including abduction by + alien beings, out of body experience, near death experience, bodily marks + from a medical examination, genital examination, past life memories, + planetary visions, automatic writing or telepathic communication, and a + message or mission for Humankind, etc.), then the psychological resistance of + the psychotherapist, as well as the emotional trauma of the person, can be an + important factor -- not only in the process of psychotherapy, but in the + questions of whether services are provided to that person! + The complex and controversial claims of UFO abductees/contactees are a + background for the general question: Based on the processes of psychotherapy, + what do we know about UFO experiences?" + In a recent conversation with Dr.Sprinkle I asked him if paranormal + activity was common among those people who may have had possible contact with + UFOs, and if so why hadn't we heard more about this..? + Dr. Sprinkle's reply was surprising as he went on to say, "Yes, it is + extremely common. In fact I have been researching the Paranormal question + since 1963 and was asked by the Lorenzens (Jim and Coral Lorenzen of APRO) to + write a chapter for a book they were writing in the mid 70's that dealt with + this very issue." + Interestingly enough, Dr. Sprinkle, for many years seemed to be the only + professional Psychologist who even adhered to the idea that UFOs were + possibly real. Having established a reputation in his field for his + regressive hypnosis sessions with several of the more modern day abduction + reports Dr. Sprinkle has become the foremost authority on the subject of + Abductions. + In the same article he went on to express several tentative viewpoints: + + 1.) I believe that `flying saucers' (UFOs) exist. + + 2.) I believe that I cannot prove to anyone that UFOs exist. + + 3.) I believe that UFO research is always frustrating, often + fearful, sometimes fun. + + 4.) I believe that psychotherapeutic services and social + support for UFO Experiencers are helpful to them in + accepting the reality of these experiences and in + understanding of the silliness and the significance of these + experiences. + + 5.) I believe that there are many skills that can be useful + to the psychotherapist who works with UFO Experiencers, but + the main attributes are courage, curiosity, and compassion. + + 6.) I appreciate the willingness of UFO Experiencers to + share their information, and the willingness of professional + colleagues to assist UFO Experiencers. + + Perhaps, someday, UFO research can lead to results which + could test the hypothesis that UFO activity is an + educational program. + + This last remark seemed somewhat new age'ish on the Good Doctor's part, + but in light of the recent revelation of a few years ago that he himself had + apparently been abducted as a child, it is understandable. + In some cases we as investigators have to ask the question concerning + the types of encounters that many abductees experience. In so doing the + questions will elicit some type of answer or reaction. Bearing in mind it is + often difficult for the investigator, or for that matter, the psychotherapist + to either understand or accept the answers they are given. + This comes not from a desire to deny the subject's experiences, but more + form the point of view, that it is difficult for the + Investigator/Psychotherapist to accept the answer. In many cases the subject + will present an answer unacceptable to the Investigator/Psychotherapist. This + seems to be the case with regard to paranormal activity which may accompany + such an encounter. + Throughout the several years Dr. Sprinkle has devoted his efforts to + finding the answers to this phenomenon, he has put forth the following + hypothesis: + + Thesis 1. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that many UFO + witnesses have experienced encounters with space craft that are piloted or + controlled by intelligent alien beings (e.g., Hynek, 1972;Jacobs, 1975; + Randles, 1983; Rutledge, 1981; Smith, 1987). + + Thesis 2. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that many UFO + witnesses have experienced abductions and examination by UFO occupants, + including bodily, psychological, and/or sexual examinations (e.g., Fowler, + 1979, 1982; Fuller, 1966; Hopkins, 1981, 1987; Lorenzen & Lorenzen, 1967, + 1976, 1977; Sprinkle, 1979, 1981; Strieber, 1987). + + Thesis 3. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that most UFO + witnesses are normal in their psychological functioning (e.g., Bloecher, + Clamar, & Hopkins, 1985; Keul & Phillips, 1986; + Parnell, 1987; Schwarz, 1983; Sprinkle, 1976b, 1979a). + + Thesis 4. + There is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis the psychic + phenomena, including "channeled" communications, are associated with UFO + encounters; further, there is emerging evidence that UFO contactees view + themselves as changing from "planetary persons" to "cosmic citizens" (e.g., + Davis, 1985; + Kannenberg, 1982, 1986; Kinder, 1987; Montgomery, 1985; Puharich, 1974; + Sprinkle, 1981; Steiger & Steiger, 1981). + + Remembering the previously mentioned hypothesis, let us review certain + facts; + + "In a majority of cases the contactees/victims are initially unaware of + their contact experience on a conscious level. They have subliminated their + experiences to a subconscious level." + We know this is possible due to findings from victims of childhood + sexual assaults and in many cases rape victims, and in some cases, victims of + violent crime or accidents. As an act of mental self-defense, the incident or + incidents are forcefully forgotten, either through external influences (i.e., + programming on the part of the abductors) or through the psychological + processes that come into play to create a mental feeling of security. + "Awareness of the contact experience can, and often times remains + dormant until such time as an incident/phase/word or experience triggers the + memory, and starts the process of bringing the memory to the conscious + level." + At this point we now begin to see the manifestation of paranormal + activity. In many cases the contactee/victim begins to feel a feeling of + un-rightness, i.e., unexplainable fear, paranoia, panic attacks etc. . .. In + other cases the paranormal activity will manifest itself in other ways, such + as; + + Psycho-kinetic Activity (Poltergeist) + + Manifestation of visual phenomena (Green fireballs, visions of ghost, + physical assaults upon the victim or members of the victims household.) + The hearing of ghostly high pitched voices, screaming warnings that only the + victim can hear. + + Telepathy and premonitions. + + At the same time we must enquire as to the validity of these + manifestations. A case in point... + A college educated male, approximately 30 years of age recalled a series + of paranormal incidents that began at the age of twenty years and resulted + ultimately in the discovery that he was in fact an abductee at the age of + four years. + ".....I was twenty. I was living in Jamestown, California at the time + with three other young people in an old house outside of town. One night I + returned to my bedroom after getting up to use the bathroom. I turned off the + light, got in my bed and laid on my left side. As soon as I laid down I + "knew" there was something in the room with me. I could "feel" it thinking. I + immediately became aware of something moving to me from across the room and + it stood on the foam pad right in front of my face and made a depression + there that my hands, which were up by my face started to roll into. Then + suddenly there was a weight on top of my body that pushed me down through the + support of my pad into the floor and held me there paralysed. There also was + a load sound in my upturned right ear which sounded as though something were + yelling or shouting or exhaling right against my ear. It was one long sound + though there was no variation in timbre, frequency, or pitch and it continued + for the entire time that I could not move." + He went on to say that he slept for a year or two afterwards with a + light on in his room or shining into his room from another room. + He continued. "....a few days before I moved out of that place in fear + of whatever it was that happened, I was watching T.V. in the living room in + broad daylight when I felt as if something were touching the insides of my + thighs, like there was something invisible trying to push them apart. I now + do not believe that there was actually something there at the moment, but + that it was a strong subliminal memory of having been touched there. Also + when I was moving back down to college I had a similar sensation across my + upper abdomen while I was driving a car. That wasn't the end of my + experiences. It followed me to where I moved and ten months later I had a UFO + sighting over Modesto, California at very close range. Which by the way I + didn't associate with my prior experiences. There was also a vivid "dream" I + had where something had gone into my consciousness, made me feel euphoric, + and made my life pass before my eyes while they re-experienced it with me as + if they were looking for something (This was also associated with a sighting + in the dream) They also did something to the back of my head. The memory of + these things persisted in bothering me for years. At the time I moved away + from the rural areas thinking that these things would stop. I didn't know + what was happening to me. I began having panic attacks after the one + experience in Jamestown and I had never had them before. All of this was + quite unsettling and I couldn't figure out why when I was having one of the + best times of my life that something so strange would start plaguing me." + The incidents that happened to this subject are most certainly of a + paranormal nature, and fall classically into that category. However, let us + examine several possibilities we as UFO investigators seem to overlook. + As of yet, science has not been able to adequately explain the cause of + Paranormal activity. Science has defined paranormal activity as something + laying outside of the realm of the normal acceptable standards that have been + established for human behavior. Yet at the same time they are just now, + within the last one hundred years, beginning to define that human behavior + and the accompanying dysfunctions inherent in it. + Assuming for the moment paranormal activity is in fact real in some form + or another, let us examine further it's relationship with the + UFO/Abductee/Contactee Phenomena. + In most cases paranormal activity and abilities are existent to some + degree in all of us. Whether it be the ability to look briefly into the + future (DejaVu), to detect the loss of a loved one before being told, + telepathy (such as in twins), psycho- + kinesis, etc. . .. However, these abilities lay dormant until something, + either an event or a memory, triggers the ability. In many cases this + particular event is the result of a trauma, or for that matter, the incident + that is triggered was a trauma in itself. + One particular point that we must remember is the human mind and brain + is the most complex and even today unknown aspect of the Human-being. We can + chart the Brain, and even have a fair idea as to what each particular area + within the brain will control. But! We are unable to delve deeper into it to + look at the area most commonly referred to as the soul. That part which makes + up our personalities, our abilities to think and discern information. Control + emotions, or for that matter, what creates those emotions which separate us + from the lower orders of the animal kingdom. In short, we don't fully know + what exactly the abilities are within the human animal. + An interesting point which should be considered is, most biologist will + tell you the brain capacity of the lower orders of the animal kingdom reflect + the full mental ability of those animals, barring mental retardation or + defects. Yet a human brain, followed by the dolphin, is one of the largest, + if not the largest brain within the mammalian chain. And we do not use it to + it's fullest capacity. This is odd since development on an evolutionary scale + theoretically says all life forms physically develop to their fullest + capabilities. If this holds true, then why hasn't humankind? Or is there the + possibility that we did, and then through some cataclysmic occurrences we + lost those abilities..? + Having set the stage somewhat, and seeing that the human brain or the + human animal is capable of far more than many of us give credit to it, lets + us now examine closely the relationship between Paranormal Activity and UFO + contacts. + Accepting the possibilities previously stated, we as human- + beings have created in our minds and in our a world a certain amount of + stability based upon what we consider to be incontrovertible facts. But I now + ask the question; "What if those facts we have established are found to be + falsehoods?" This creates an interesting dilemma....How would we cope with + such a revelation? I present the following theory for your consideration... + + Theorem.... + + Throughout the span of recorded history, the human animal has given + basic and simple explanations to those things we are incapable of + understanding. We have placed these strange occurrences into categories we + are comfortable with. Such things as Religion to explain celestial beings + (angels), and beings horrible and evil (demons). Those things defying our + ability to explain technologically or logically became things of magic and + Witchcraft. As humankind progressed through the sciences and technology, what + was once within the realm of religion and magic went into the realm of + science and logic, and this is where our development stands. + Suddenly there comes into our existence something which cannot be placed + within the normal classifications we have established for ourselves. Since we + no longer for the most part believe in magic, we attempt to place it within + the realm of science. Yet when we are unable to give logical explanations + through science, it then falls within the realm of magic, or the paranormal, + which falls outside of both magic and the sciences. It is at this point the + primal instincts of the human animal come into play, and at the same time + something even more astounding. The human brain's ability to protect itself + from something that does not compute or work within it's ability to + assimilate. Unlike a computer however, it reprograms itself to continue + functioning on a relatively normal level until such time as more information + becomes available to help it assimilate the previously blanked out data. At + this point some unusual occurrences take place causing the brain to trigger + the previously blanked memories and bringing them forward from the + sub-conscious into the conscious area of the mind, or Id. With this + occurrence comes increased metal activity that creates an increase in + Neuro-electrical activity within the brain itself, thereby increasing the + brain's natural abilities to manipulate it's physical surrounding without + physical intervention.. + This theorem may not be as far fetched as it may sound. We know that + bio-electrical activity is one of the motivating factors which makes the + human body animate, function, and live. We also know for example that in the + event of injury to either the brain or the Neuro-systems (nervous system) + certain parts of the human body cease to function. + Taking it a step further, we currently are able to manipulate invisible + electrical forces in the form of Radio and television waves, which transmit + pictures, turn motors, and make possible such innovations as the modern home + computer. Therefore the idea of the human brain creating such amounts of + electrical activity as to be able to control and effect it's surrounding + environment is not far fetched at all. + Now you ask the question; "What has this to do with UFO + Abductees/Contactees? + + Simply put, we must first consider two possibilities. The first being we + have accepted that UFOs and Aliens do exist, and therefore based upon the + available evidence human-beings are being contacted and/or being forcefully + abducted for whatever purposes. + Because of the trauma caused these Abductees/Contactees their brains + have shut down in order to be able to assimilate the data necessary to cope + with this incident in their lives. In many cases these incidents are on-going + occurrences which would require some sort of mental manipulation on the part + of the abductors to keep control of their subject. Because of the ingrained + human survival instinct the human brain begins to increase it's + bio-electrical activity thereby causing paranormal activity in it's + surrounding vicinity. whether it manifest itself as uncommonly clear memories + that cause the abductee/contactee to relive the physical sensations that they + were subjected to during the course of their abduction, or other physical + manipulations in their surroundings i.e..poltergeist, telepathy, + psycho-kinesis.. + The second possibility we must consider is the physical modification or + manipulation of the human brain on the part of the abductors i.e..implants, + bio-genetic engineering or modifications etc..We know that it is possible to + control the human mind or at least certain areas of the brain that will cause + pleasure and pain, anger and apathy. Therefore why is it not possible for a + possibly more advance culture to have carried this further and be able to + control all aspects of the brain? Making possible such things as channeling + (communications) and all of the previously mentioned paranormal phenomena. + A recent review of case studies that date back as far as the late to + middle fifties has shown that in almost all instances where a person reports + abduction or contact in some form or another there is almost always + paranormal activity reported. + Currently there are certain individuals within the UFO/paranormal fields + who have shown and uncanny ability to predict where and when a UFO sighting + or flap is about to occur. Increased E.S.P abilities, etc...In almost all + cases it has been shown that they are abductees or contactees.. + + CONCLUSIONS + + Contrary to popular belief, it is apparent that Paranormal Activity and + UFO related Activity are NOT separate issues, but rather, are one in the + same. Both being an integral part of the other, and both playing a + significant role in the lives of the Abductees/Contactees. + It is apparent that we as Investigators and Psychotherapist can no + longer ignore the fact that Paranormal activity does occur in some form or + another in relationship to the UFO/Abduction/Contact Phenomena. + We as Investigators and Psychotherapeutic professionals must come + together to establish criteria in which to investigate and treat + Abduction/Contact trauma victims, bearing in mind that these people require a + different type of treatment and inter- + action between the investigator, psychotherapist, and mental health + professional. + The psychotherapeutic profession must help establish the acceptance + within the mental health professions that there is indeed a whole phenomena + in existence that does in fact deal with UFO contact and abduction, and that + new methods are required to treat and deal with these unfortunates. Most + importantly they must also be taught to accept the fact that whenever a + victim of such occurrences comes to them for professional help, they are NOT + crazy, but in fact show be in the same classification as that of sexual + abuse, and violent crime victims. + We as Investigators must educate ourselves for a better understanding of + the trauma that victims of Abduction undergo, and become aware of the various + aspects of Paranormal activity that in fact do exist.. + + + ==File Captured from Paranormal Echo, September 25-29, 1990== + + ==END== + + + +********************************************** +* THE U.F.O.
