2013: Hellyer takes up the cause of believers in UFOs

By JOHN WARD OTTAWA (CP) – Paul Hellyer, onetime cabinet minister and a political chameleon who went through Liberal and Tory colors before founding two political parties of his own, has a new cause – UFOs. Hellyer is to be a featured speaker at a UFO conference in Toronto later this month and organizers are making much of his credentials as a former defense minister in the Pearson administration 40 years ago. Skeptics are, well, skeptical. The 82-year-old Hellyer says he believes not only that UFOs are extraterrestrial visitors, but that some governments – the United States at least – know all about it and are covering up. He says he believes American scientists have re-engineered alien wreckage from a supposed UFO crash at […] Read More

The Aviary, the Aquarium, and Eschatology

by Vince Johnson Eschatology: 1: The branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind. 2: A belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate destiny of mankind; specifically any of the various Christian doctrines concerning the Second Coming, the resurrection of the dead, or the Last Judgment. ============================================================= As more than a casual observer of contemporary ufology, I’ve recently become aware of a what could be a significant new twist in popular perception about UFOs. For many, UFOs are not the manifestation of extraterrestrial intelligence, but instead, are metaphysical phenomena — a manifestation of spiritual entities. Many abductees/contactees are now characterizing their “unusual personal experiences” in a religious or metaphysical context. As […] Read More

2001: The Birth of The CIA – And Flying Saucers

By Frank Warren frank-warren@pacbell.net 6-13-1 There’s been a lot of speculation on the irony of the “birth of the CIA” in September, of 1947, ( formerly, The Central Intelligence Group) coinciding with all the “flying saucer activity” beginning in June of that year, starting with Kenneth Arnold’s sighting over Mt Rainier to the “crashed discs” in the area of Roswell New Mexico. Some have claimed, that the sole purpose in creating the CIA was to investigate the “flying saucer” phenomenon. That, of course is not the case. [CIG and then CIA were born primarily out of the realization of the importance of a “post war” intelligence gathering agency, similar to it’s “war time” predecessor, the OSS, and President Truman’s frustration with being out of […] Read More

THE CONDON COMMITTEE

This committee was formed in 1966 in the USA to study the UFO phenomenon for a period of two years and then publish its results. Then-Senator Gerald Ford gave government approval for this research. The leader of the team was Dr. Edward Uhler Condon. The research was conducted by a team of scientists at Colorado University. The report published at the end of the two-year project stated that UFO’s were not worth further study and of little significance. Some members of the study did not agree with the published findings and it has been suggested that the government insisted on this version of the report. An Air Force panel reviewed the report and stated that “little if anything had come from the study of […] Read More

1994: A Die-Hard Issue: CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90

Gerald K. Haines An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. (1) Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogists–a neologism for UFO buffs–and private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. (2) In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, […] Read More

The Release of the Cooper Material

FROM: National Security Council TOP SECRET Codename: Falcon THE RELEASE OF THE COOPER MATERIAL There are many hazards involved with exposing information regarding UFOs. It has not been until quite recently that any degree of safety at all has been available for people releasing such information. Were it not for the fact that Cooper released his information so far and wide and it filtered to so many people at once — newspapers, legislators, heads of state, people in important positions all over the world — he would have suffered severely. But because it was scattered so quickly, it would have been fruitless to silence him after the information had been released. It would only have added to the credibility of the information. At the […] Read More

The Confusing World of UFOlogy

By Jay Barrymore Some have commented about the amount of bickering that occurs between those of the various religious factions, but nothing can compare to the amount of treachery, back-stabbing, and rumor-mongering that occurs among those who consider themselves UFO researchers. Part of the reason for this is that UFOlogy is becoming a New Age religion in its own right. It is developing its own mythology and dogma, with die-hard believers of various organizations committed to UFO research which can be likened to “sects” or denominations. No religion wouldn’t be complete without its own soothsayers, of which there are many types as well, from those who channel alien entities from other galaxies to UFO spokespeople who claim to have government informants with the impending […] Read More

An Engineer Looks at the Project Mogul Hypothesis

Editor’s Note: Robert A. Galganski has a master’s degree in civil engineering and is employed as a ground vehicle crash safety systems research and development specialist. He received the Ufologist of the Year award at the 1997 National UFO Conference in Springfield, Ohio, for his contributions to Roswell Incident research. Article from the International UFO Reporter, Summer 1998, Volume 23, Number 2. An Engineer Looks at the Project Mogul Hypothesis by Robert A. Galganski In early July 1947, Mac Brazel, foreman of the Foster sheep ranch northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, discovered a large quantity of extremely unusual, widely scattered, and highly fragmented lightweight debris on a pasture. The Army initially attributed it to the misidentified remnants of a downed weather balloon and an attached radar target. Forty-seven years later, the Air Force explained the […] Read More

1992: A Missing Pentacle

The so-called “Pentacle Memorandum” convinced UFO researcher Jacques Vallee that the US government had been toying with the official UFO investigations, and that these were a front for something else… if not something more sinister. Philip Coppens In Forbidden Science (1992), Jacques Vallee, who was the inspiration for one of the main characters in Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reports how in 1967 he found Allen Hynek’s UFO files to be in serious disarray. On Sunday, June 18, 1967, Vallee tried to restore some order in the files and “found a letter which is especially remarkable because of the new light it throws on the key period of the Robertson Panel and of Report #14”. This was the report that was also […] Read More

1987: An Open Letter to the UFO Community

by Gary Kinder, author of Light Years March 6, 1987 I have received so many phone calls and letters (and copies of letters sent to others) about the forthcoming LIGHT YEARS, it seems appropriate for me to write a letter of explanation. Had I not been involved with the arrival of a new daughter two weeks ago, I would have written this letter much sooner. I know that many of you were confused to hear I was writing a book on Meier; I also know that most of you will understand when I offer a proper explanation. Here it is. Though no one in the UFO community has seen the manuscript for LIGHT YEARS, much of the vehemence over its publication seems to arise […] Read More

MEN IN BLACK

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MEN IN BLACK When the Condon Committee was sampling public attitudes towards the UFO phenomenon they gave this statement to a cross-section of the American Public: “A government agency maintains a Top Secret file of UFO reports that are deliberately withheld from the public.” The respondents were supposed to answer TRUE or FALSE. A substantial majority, sixty-one percent, thought that the statement was true while only thirty-one percent said it was false. Among teenagers, the credibility gap was even wider—73 percent believed the statement to be true. General opinion studies conducted by the Condon Committee, and other surveys about UFO’s came up with the rather paradoxical facts that there were more people who believed in a conspiracy of silence about […] Read More

2006: Ancient Russian Manuscript Describes 19th Century UFO Sightings

Photo from www.kp.ru Created: 07.02.2006 16:50 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 16:55 MSK MosNews Nowadays reports of UFO sightings appear in the media so frequently that they hardly catch anyone’s eye. More often than not the alleged UFOs turn out to be signal rockets, meteorological probes, airplanes or their traces. But this certainly does not apply to sightings registered centuries ago — when no rockets or airplanes existed at all. Moscow daily Komsomolskaya Pravda publishes a document from a personal archive that tells of a UFO spotted over Kremlin back in 1808. “I found this document in the personal archive of a Moscow senator Peter Poludensky, who worked for the Tsar’s Secret Service and died in the middle of XIX century. Apparently the manuscript attracted […] Read More
