“… the children of Israel went up and harnessed out of the land of Egypt. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light…” (Exodus 13:18,21.) The story continues with a pursuit by the Egyptian army. “And the angel of God, which went before the camp of […] Read More
“… what went on was the editing and summarizing by compilers of the Book of Genesis of much earlier and considerably more detailed texts first written down in Sumer.” The Sumerian gods were called Anunnaki, translated as “those who came down from the heavens.” They were said to have interbred with primitive humans to produce the intelligent variety that built civilization. We thus begin our discussion of the Bible […] Read More
“… at the 1987 meeting of the American Psychological Association in New York, participants agreed that a detailed study of alleged UFO abductees revealed them to be normal people from all walks of life. It was concluded that their experiences could not be accounted for strictly on the basis of psychopathology. Thus, what we ended up with are both professional and nonprofessional normal people, cutting across the total social strata, […] Read More
Case 8. Newport News, Va., July 14, 1952: Another case in which experienced pilots viewed UFOs below them, and hence had helpful background-cues to distance and size, occurred near 8:12 p.m. EST, July 14, 1952. A Pan American DC-4, en route from New York to Miami, was at 8000 ft over the Chesapeake Bay, northeast of Newport News, when its cockpit crew witnessed glowing, disc-shaped objects approaching them at […] Read More
Case 7. Goshen, Ind., April 27, 1950: Another early airline sighting that seemed worth personally crosschecking involved the crew and passengers of a TWA DC-3 on the evening of 4/27/50 (Refs. 4, 5, 10, 23). I have interviewed both the pilot, Capt. Robert Adickes, and the co-pilot, Capt. Robert F. Manning, and confirmed all of the principal features first reported in detail in a magazine account by Keyhoe (Ref. […] Read More
Case 6. Eastern Quebec, June 29, 1954: A case in which I have not been able to directly interview any witnesses, but about which a great deal is on record, through contemporary press accounts, through the pilot’s subsequent report, and through recent interviews by BBC staff members, occurred near Seven Islands, Quebec, just after sunset on 6/29/54. A BOAC Stratocruiser, bound from New York to London with 51 passengers, […] Read More
Case 5. Willow Grove, Pa., May 21, 1966: Skipping over many other pilot observations to a more recent one which I have personally checked, I call attention to a close-range airborne sighting of a domed-disc, seen under midday conditions by two observers. One of them, William C. Powell, of Radnor, Pa., is a pilot with 18,000 logged flight hours. He and a passenger, Miss Muriel McClave, were flying in […] Read More
Case 4. Minneapolis, Minn., October 11, 1951: There are far more private pilots than airline pilots, so it is not surprising that there are more UFO sightings from the former than the latter. An engineer and former Air Force P-38 pilot, Joseph J. Kaliszewski, flying for the General Mills Skyhook balloon program on balloon-tracking missions saw highly unconventional objects on two successive days in October 1951 (Refs. 5, 7, […] Read More
Case 3. Sioux City, Iowa, January 20, 1951: Another of the many airline-crew sightings of highly unconventional aerial devices that I have personally checked was, like Cases 1 and 2, widely reported in the national press (for a day or two, and then forgotten like the rest). A check of weather data confirms that the night of 1/20/51 was clear and cold at Sioux City at the time that […] Read More
Case 2. Montgomery, Alabama, July 24, 1948: Another one of the famous airline sightings of earlier years is the Chiles-Whitted Eastern Airlines case (Refs. 3, 5, 6, 10, 23, 24, 25, 26). An Eastern DC-3, en route from Houston to Atlanta, was flying at an altitude of about 5000 ft, near Montgomery at 2:45 a.m. The pilot, Capt. Clarence S. Chiles, and the co-pilot, John B. Whitted, both of […] Read More
[[125]] Dr. Baker represented the United States Air Force at the International Astronautical Federation meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in 1961, represented the United States at the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics European Conferences in 1962 and in 1965 and was an invitee to the Astronomical Councile [sic] of the Academy of Sciences of USSR in Moscow in 1967. He was voted an Outstanding Young Man of the […] Read More
A similar incident involves yet another document Cooper claims to have seen during the ’70s. UFO researcher Bob Lazar says that in 1988 he wrote a paper at Los Alamos concerning “Project Excalibur,” an “earth-penetrating, nuclear-tipped missile designed to destroy underground facilities.” He gave a copy to Lear, who then gave a copy to Cooper: …I heard Cooper reading it verbatim, word for word, at the (1989) MUFON convention. […] Read More
Many more aliens were on the way, however. Cooper reports that in 1953, 10 more flying saucers crashed and 26 dead aliens and 4 live ones were recovered. The newly elected President Eisenhower was in a fix because of all this, and turned to Nelson Rockefeller; together they developed a plan to “wrestle and beat the alien problem.” In the meantime, astronomers had found that large objects, first thought […] Read More
The whole time I was in Vietnam and especially on the DMZ I had noticed that there was a lot of UFO activity. We had individual 24-hour crypto code sheets that we used to encode messages, but because of the danger that one of them could be captured at any time, we used special code words for sensitive information. UFOs, I was told, were definitely sensitive information. I learned […] Read More
