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

THE AQUARIUM CONSPIRACY

by Dan Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley Directors, Center for North American Crop Circle Studies We stand accused, according to the various rumors that are circulating, of being key figures in one of the greatest conspiracies ever to hit the paranormal field. Well, golly… shucks, folks…. Actually, we wouldn’t mind taking the credit, but out of a sense of sheer honesty and modesty we have to report that we are a bit short of realizing this conspiratorial goal. Nonetheless, if others want to continue this conspiracy, then we should not be too modest or too honest, but do what we can to keep those rumor mills grinding. First, though, a little background for those of you who are joining us late. Rumor has it that […] Read More

1997: ANTI-GRAVITY, ANTI-MATTER: A DISCUSSION OF PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES AND BACK-ENGINEERING

Delta UFO, ” The Descent“, ©1996, 1997, Dave Kauble. ARTICLE BY Dave Kauble ________________________________________ This article focuses on propulsion systems, primarily anti-gravity and anti-matter. Several press releases, scientific articles, and science shows have appeared recently which causes us to focus on a significant coincidence. This article attempts to spread light on these coincidences. To do so, we’ll focus on several pieces of a larger puzzle. These pieces are a collection of information from various news and television sources. First, we’ll cover the Bob Lazar “revelations”. S-4, or Papoose Lake, Near Groom Lake, or area 51, or Dreamland, is the subject of a recent Discovery Channel episode. One of the most interesting parts of this program centered on the story of Bob Lazar, a jet-propulsion car builder who claims that […] Read More

1997: Apollo 12 Sightings

by Donald B. Ratsch On Friday November 13, 1997 by pre arrangement I traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with ORTK member and MUFON’s Representative for Washington D.C. Elaine Douglas. Elaine knew I was interested in and collected NASA UFO footage. She wanted me to meet a man she knew that could give me some interesting information on that subject. She also wanted me to show this man my collection of NASA UFO footage. He was to arrive at Elaine’s apartment at 10:30am so I arrived 30 minutes earlier at 10:00am. At precisely 10:30am there was a knock on her door and I opened it for Elaine. The man was well dressed and looked in his forties. Elaine introduced us and we exchanged small […] Read More

1998: Area 51 last of secret military bases

Copyright c 1998 Nando.net Copyright c 1998 Scripps Howard (August 5, 1998 00:30 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) – Many people who believe in UFO’s also believe “Area 51” is where the Air Force keeps its stockpile of captured flying saucers. And maybe an autopsied alien body or two. Others believe the military base in the southern Nevada desert is the testing grounds for America’s most secret military machines, everything from the F-117 stealth fighter to electromagnetic pulse weapons that would make Buck Rogers nervous. What is certain is that there is something out there in that moonscape property north of Las Vegas. Officially designated the “Nellis Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range” on Nevada maps, the federally protected territory in Nye, Lincoln and Clark counties […] Read More

1998: Area 51 Really Does Exist, But Still, Nobody’s Talking

By Thomas Hargrove Scripps Howard News Service Many people who believe in UFOs also think that “Area 51” —  dried-up Groom Lake in Nevada — is where the Air Force keeps the flying saucers it captured. And maybe an autopsied alien body or two. Others think the military base is the testing grounds for  America’s most secret military machines, everything from the  F-117 Stealth fighter to electro-magnetic pulse weapons that would make Buck Rogers nervous. What is certain is that there is something in that moonscape property north of Las Vegas. Officially designated the “Nellis Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range,” the federally protected territory covers an area equal to Rhode Island and Connecticut. What also is certain is that 1,851 federal civilian workers are employed in […] Read More

1998: Area 51: Alive, Well & Expanding?

by Norio Hayakawa (Groomwatch@aol.com) There is no substance whatsoever to the ridiculous rumor that AREA 51 and its operations were abandoned and were relocated elsewhere, such as to Utah. Basically, this rumor had originated from what appeared to be a disinformative article that first appeared in the June 1997 issue of POPULAR MECHANICS. The unexpected article no doubt was greatly “appreciated” by Nellis AFB and particularly those at the “remote operating base” at Groom Lake, Nevada. The folks at Nellis AFB probably rolled on floor laughing over the article, which was for the most part filled with factual errors, much to their absolute delight!! The June, 1997, POPULAR MECHANICS piece also must have brought much delight to the then Secretary of the Air Force, […] Read More
