“Well then, you ask, what about our scientists? What about Carl Sagan? Issac Asimov? Arthur C. Clarke? Wouldn’t they have known? If Carl Sagan knows then he is committing a great fraud through the solicitation of memberships in the Planetary Society, ‘to search for extraterrestrial intelligence‘. Another charade into which the U.S. Government dumps millions of dollars every year is the radio-telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell University with – guess who? – Carl Sagan.
Cornell is ostensibly searching for signals from Outer Space, a sign maybe, that somebody is out there. It is hard to believe that relatively intelligent astronomers like Sagan could be so ignorant.
(Note: Also, even if ‘they’ did find evidence of extraterrestrial life, do you think that SETI and similar government-sponsored projects would tell US about It? Let’s just take a look at some actual statements from those involved with these projects.
The following is a quote from Matt Spetalnick’s article “IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? NASA LOOKS FOR REAL ET’S”, in REUTERS Magazine, Oct. 5, 1992: “At least 70 times scientists have picked up radio waves that bore the marks of communication by beings from other worlds, but they were never verified, [Frank] Drake said.” And researcher John Spencer, in a reference to Dr. Otto Strove, tells how this astrophysicist assisted Frank Drake in establishing Project OZMA, and it’s very mysterious conclusion:
“…the project began its search by focusing on the star TAU CETI. According to claims made at the time, AS SOON AS the project got underway STRONG INTELLIGENT SIGNALS were picked up, leaving all the scientists stunned. Abruptly, Dr. Strove then declared Project OZMA had been shut down, and commented that there was no sensible purpose for listening to messages from another world.” [THE UFO ENCYCLOPEDIA].
So then, these ‘insiders‘ will accept ALL of our hard-earned tax dollars to finance their radio projects — if not their underground bases and covert space operations. Yet cursed be any ‘mere mortal’ for having the audacity to actually insist on having access to the products of their ‘financial investments’! – Branton)
“What about Isaac Asimov? Surely the most prolific science fiction writer of all time would have guessed by now that there must be an enormous cover-up? Maybe, but if he knows he’s not saying. Perhaps he’s afraid that Foundation and Empire will turn out to be inaccurate.
“What about Arthur C. Clarke? Surely the most technically accurate of Science Fiction writers with very close ties to NASA would have at least a hint of what’s really going on. Again, if so he isn’t talking. In a recent Science Fiction survey, Clarke estimates that contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life would not occur before the 21st Century.
“If the government won’t tell us the truth and the major networks won’t even give it serious consideration (Note: This was written before such programs as SIGHTINGS, ENCOUNTERS, UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, CURRENT AFFAIR, MONTEL WILLIAMS, STRANGE UNIVERSE, and other TV news digests and talk shows DID begin dealing with the UFO phenomena, abductions, and so on in much greater depth — not to mention the X-FILES, DARK SKIES, and other TV series’. – Branton), then what is the big picture, anyway? Are the EBE’s, having done a hundred thousand or more abductions [possibly millions worldwide], built AN UNTOLD NUMBER OF SECRET UNDERGROUND BASES [Groom Lake, Nevada; Sunspot, Datil, Roswell, and Pie Town, New Mexico, just to name a few] getting ready to return to wherever they came from? Or, from the obvious preparations are we to assume that they are getting ready for a big move? or is [it] the more sinister and most probable situation that the invasion is essentially complete and it is all over but the screaming?
“A well-planned invasion of Earth for its resources and benefits would not begin with mass landings or ray-gun equipped aliens. A properly planned and executed invasion by a civilization thousands [of] years in advance of us would most likely be complete before a handful of people, say 12? realized what was happening. No-fuss, no mess. The best advice I can give you is this: Next time you see a flying saucer and are awed by its obvious display of technology and gorgeous lights of pure color – RUN LIKE HELL!
— June 3, 1988, Las Vegas, NV”
[The following was an addendum to the above that was included with later copies of John Lear’s ‘statement’]:
“In 1983 when the Grand Deception was discovered MJ-12 [which may now be designated ‘PI-40’] started work on a weapon or some kind of device to contain the EBE’s which had by now totally infested our society. This program was funded through SDI which, coincidentally, was initiated at approximately the same date. A frantic effort has been made over the past 4 years by all participants. This program ended in failure in December of 1987.
(Note: British Ufologist Timothy Good claimed that over 22 British scientists — who were working on the U.S. SDI program for British Marconi and other Aerospace companies — had all mysteriously died or ‘committed suicide‘ within the space of a few years. Could this have had anything to do with this ‘failure‘? Apparently someone ‘out there’ was intent on sabotaging the SDI / STAR WARS project. Also there are reports that several of our ‘defense satellites’ have been destroyed as well. – Branton).
- “A new program has been conceived but will take about 2 years to develop. In the meantime, it is absolutely essential to MJ-12 [PI-40], that no one, including the Senate, the Congress or the Citizens of the United States of America [or anyone else for that matter] become aware of the real circumstances surrounding the UFO cover-up and total disaster it has become.
- “Moore never did release the videotapes but claims he is negotiating with a major network to do so…’ soon‘.”
Another source added the following statements in regards to Lear’s claims:
- “Area 51… and a similar setup near Dulce, New Mexico, may now belong to forces not loyal to the U.S. Government, or even the human race. ‘It’s horrifying to think that all the scientists we think are working for us [in the joint-interaction bases] are actually controlled by aliens.’
- “‘…SDI, regardless of what you hear, was completed…to shoot down incoming saucers. The mistake was that we thought they were coming inbound — in fact, they’re already here. They’re in underground bases all over the place.’ It seems that the aliens had constructed many such bases without our knowledge, where they conduct heinous genetic experiments on animals, human beings, and ‘improvised‘ creatures of their own devising.
- “Thus was born PROJECT EXCALIBUR. Press reports described EXCALIBUR as a weapons system designed to obliterate deeply-buried Soviet command centers, which the Reagan administration hypocritically characterized as destabilizing. We have exactly similar centers. Lear claims the weapon was actually directed toward the internal alien threat. Unfortunately, the ‘visitors’ have invaded us in more ways than one.
- “‘Millions of Americans have been implanted. There’s a little device that varies in size from 50 microns to 3 millimeters; it is inserted through the nose into the brain. It effectively controls the person. Dr. [J. Allen] Hynek estimated in 1972 that one in every 40 Americans was implanted; we believe it may be as high as one in ten now.’ These implants will be activated at some time in the near future, for some unspecified alien purpose.'”
When Lear was pressed to disclose some of his sources, he stated that his anonymous intelligence informants “go right to the top.” He did, however, mention some of the names in not-so-sensitive intelligence positions from whom he has also gathered information, many of these names may be familiar to veteran Ufologists. These include:
- Paul Bennewitz, director of Thunder Scientific Laboratories [a New Mexico-based research facility with government contract ties], who claims to have gained access to and ‘interrogated‘ an alien computer system via a radio-video-computer setup of his own invention.
- Linda Howe, the television documentarian responsible for STRANGE HARVEST [a program about cattle mutilations], who received astonishing ‘leaks‘ from a special intelligence officer, Colonel Richard Doty formerly of Kirtland AFB, a name noted in aerial research circles.
- Robert Collins [code] has secured numerous official documents relating to UFOs.
- Sgt. Clifford Stone, premiere collector of UFO-related Freedom of Information Act or FOIA documents.
- Travis Walton professed UFO abductee whose experience inspired the movie FIRE IN THE SKY.

As an interesting follow-up to Lear’s article, I quote here some actual statements made by prominent individuals in regards to the ‘UFO’ phenomenon:
“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?”
— President Ronald Reagan., Remarks made to the 42nd General Assembly of the United Nations., Sept. 21, 1987
“I couldn’t help but say to him [Gorbachev], just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe… Well, I don’t suppose we can wait for some alien race to come down and threaten us. But I think that between us we can bring about that realization.”
— President Ronald Reagan., Remarks to Fallston High School students and Faculty, Fallston, MD., October 4, 1985
“For your confidential information, a reliable and confidential source has advised the Bureau that flying disks are believed to be man-made missiles rather than natural phenomenon. It has also been determined that for approximately the past four years the USSR has been engaged in experimentation on an unknown type of flying disk.”
— FBI Memo, dated March 25, 1949 sent to a large number of FBI offices.
“…on Unidentified Flying Objects… The panel recommends that the national security agencies institute policies… designed to prepare the material defenses and the morale of the country to recognize… and react most effectively to true indications of hostile measures.”
— Recommendation of the CIA Robertson Panel on UFOs., January, 1953
“Public interest in disclosure is far outweighed by the sensitive nature of the materials and the obvious effect on national security their release may entail.”
— U.S. District Court Opinion in the case of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy vs. the National Security Agency., May 18, 1982
“The sums made available to the Agency may be expended without regard to the provisions of law and regulations relating to the expenditures of Government.”
— Central Intelligence Act of 1949
“On this land a flying disk has been found intact, with eighteen three-foot tall human-LIKE occupants, all dead in it but not burned.”
— FBI memo from New Orleans Branch to Director, FBI, March 31, 1950 about a disk found in the Mojave desert in January, 1950
“When four sit down to conspire, three are fools and the fourth is a government agent.”
— Duncan Lunan
“The flying disks are real.”
— General Nathan Twining.
“According to Mr. …informant, the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar setup in that area and it is believed that the radar [EM beams] interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers…each one of the three saucers were occupied by three bodies of human SHAPE, but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture.”
— FBI Memo from agent Guy Hottel., Washington Field Office., sent to Director, FBI., March 22, 1950
“I WOULD SAY THAT WE KNOW OF SEVERAL, SHOULD WE SAY, INTERGALACTIC FIGHTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE — DOGFIGHTS.”
— United States Army Sgt. Clifford Stone, Roswell N.M. Station.
“He believes that because of the developments of science all the countries on earth will have to unite to survive and to make a common front against attack by ‘people’ from other planets.”
— Mayor Achille Lauro of Naples, quoting General Douglas MacArthur in the NEW YORK TIMES, Saturday October 8, 1955. p.7
