UFO Sightings by Astronauts Scott Carpenter: "At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs."
Major Gordon CooperOne of the original Mercury Astronauts and the last American to fly in space alone. On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking radar. Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting. Major Cooper was a firm believer in UFOs.
Ten years earlier, in 1951 he had sighted a UFO while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over Western Germany. They were metallic, saucer-shaped discs at considerable altitude and could out-maneuver all American fighter planes. Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations: "I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets... Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs." "I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe." And according to a taped interview by J. L. Ferrando, Major Cooper said: "For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public. Why? Because authority is afraid that people may think of God knows what kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We have to avoid panic by all means." "I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here on this planet Earth. It happened a few months ago in Florida. There I saw with my own eyes a defined area of ground being consumed by flames, with four indentions left by a flying object which had descended in the middle of a field. Beings had left the craft (there were other traces to prove this). They seemed to have studied topography, they had collected soil samples and, eventually, they returned to where they had come from, disappearing at enormous speed...I happen to know that authority did just about everything to keep this incident from the press and TV, in fear of a panicky reaction from the public."
James Lovell and Frank Borman In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during their second orbit of their record-breaking 14 day flight. Borman reported that he saw an unidentified spacecraft some distance from their capsule. Gemini Control, at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the final stage of their own Titan booster rocket. Borman confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different. During James Lovell's flight on Gemini 7: Lovell: BOGEY AT 10 O'CLOCK HIGH. Capcom: This is Houston. Say again 7. Lovell: SAID WE HAVE A BOGEY AT 10 O'CLOCK HIGH. Capcom: Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actual sighting? Lovell: WE HAVE SEVERAL...ACTUAL SIGHTINGS. Capcom: ...Estimated distance or size? Lovell: WE ALSO HAVE THE BOOSTER IN SIGHT... Neil Armstrong & Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the Aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon. According to hitherto un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from mission control for further information. Nothing more was heard. According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange: NASA: Whats there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11... Apollo11: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there, Lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon watching us!
A
certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged
in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.
Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11? According to Dr. Vladimir Azhazha: "Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module. But this message was never heard by the public -- because NASA censored it." According to a Dr. Aleksandr Kasantsev, Buzz Aldrin took color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Armstrong went outside. Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to go into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA was behind the cover-up.
Donald Slayton
Donald Slayton a Mercury astronaut revealed in an interview he had seen UFOs in 1951: "I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high." As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, grey and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing it didn't look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me - and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour. I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45 degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared."
Joseph A. Walker
On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record breaking fifty-mile-high flight in April, 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight. During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washington he said: "I don't feel like speculating about them. All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight." - Joseph Walker To date none of those films has been released to the public for viewing. Ed White & James McDivitt
In June 1965, astronauts Ed White (first American to walk in space) and James McDivitt were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini spacecraft when they saw a weird-looking metallic object. The UFO had long arms sticking out of it. McDivitt took pictures with a cine-camera. Those pictures have never been released. Maurice Chatelain
Major Robert WhiteOn July 17, 1962 Major Robert White reported a UFO during his fifty-eight-mile high flight of an X-15. Major White reported: "I have no idea what it could be. It was grayish in color and about thirty to forty feet away." Then according to a Time Magazine article, Major White exclaimed over the radio: "There ARE things out there! There absolutely is!"

In
1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications
Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two
UFOs on the rim of a crater. Chatelain believes that some UFOs
may come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. "The
encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked
about it until now." "...all Apollo and Gemini flights were
followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely,
by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers,
or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it
occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then
ordered absolute silence." "I think that Walter Schirra aboard
Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code name
'Santa Claus' to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to
space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed
by the general public. It was a little different when James
Lovell on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from behind
the moon and said for everybody to hear: 'PLEASE BE INFORMED
THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.' Even though this happened on
Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning in those
words." The rumors persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency,
but many of its programs are funded by the defence budget and
most of the astronauts are subject to military security
regulations. Apart from the fact that the National Security
Agency screens all films and probably radio communications as
well. We have the statements by Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson
and Maurice Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict
orders not to discuss their sightings. And Gordon Cooper has
testified to a United Nations committee that one of the
astronauts actually witnessed a UFO on the ground. If there is
no secrecy, why has this sighting not been made public?
Commander Eugene Cernan

President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various 'authorities' and go directly to the people via radio and television -- if the impasse continues much longer. From what I could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for delivery about the middle of May. [5] Of course no such formal announcement was made, and Light’s supposed meeting has either been the best-kept secret of the twentieth century or the fabrication of an elderly mystic known for out of body experiences. The events Light describes in his meeting in terms of the panic and confusion of many of those present, the emotional impact of the alleged landing, and the tremendous difference of opinion on what to do in terms of telling the public and responding to the extraterrestrial visitors, are plausible descriptions of what may have occurred. Indeed, the psychological and emotional impact Light describes for senior national security leaders at the meeting is consistent with what could be expected for such a ‘life changing event’. A further way of determining Light’s claim is to investigate the figures he named along with himself as part of the community delegation, and whether they could have been plausible candidates for such a meeting. Dr Edwin Nourse (1883-1974) was the first chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors to the President (1944-1953) and was President Truman’s chief economic advisor. [6] Nourse officially retired to private life in 1953 and would certainly have been a good choice of someone who could give confidential economic advise to the Eisenhower administration. If Dr Nourse was present at such a meeting, he did so in order to provide his expertise on the possible economic impact of First Contact with extraterrestrials. Another of the individuals mentioned by Light was Bishop MacIntyre. Cardinal James Francis MacIntyre was the bishop and head of the Catholic Church in Los Angeles (1948-1970) and would have been an important gauge for the possible reaction from religious leaders generally, and in particular from the most influential and powerful religious institution on the planet – the Roman Catholic Church. In particular, Cardinal MacIntyre would have been a good choice as a representative for the Vatican since he was appointed the first Cardinal of the Western United States by Pope Pius XII in 1952. Cardinal MacIntyre had sufficient rank and authority to represent the Catholic Church and the religious community in a delegation of community leaders
All Cardinal MacIntyre’s correspondence is
closed to researchers thus making it impossible to confirm
what impact the visit to Muroc had on him and what he
communicated to other church leaders and the Vatican. [7]
Cardinal MacIntyre had sufficient rank and authority to
represent the Catholic Church and the religious community in
a delegation of community leaders. The fourth member of the
delegation of community leaders was Franklin Winthrop Allen,
a former reporter with the Hearst Newspapers Group. [8]
Allen was 80 years old at the time, author of a book
instructing reporters on how to deal with Congressional
Committee Hearings, and would have been a good choice for a
member of the press who could maintain confidentiality. The
four represented senior leaders of the religious, spiritual,
economic and newspaper communities and were well advanced in
age and status. They would certainly have been plausible
choices for a community delegation that could provide
confidential advise on a possible public response to a First
Contact event involving extraterrestrial races. Such a
selection would have constituted a ‘wise men’ group that
would have been entirely in character for the conservative
nature of American society in 1954. While Light may well
contrived such a list in a fabricated account or ‘out of
body’ experience as Moore implies in his analysis, there is
nothing in Light’s selection that eliminates the possibility
that they were plausible members of such a delegation. [9]
At face value then, the selection of such a ‘wise men’ group
gives some credence to Light’s claim. It may be concluded
then that following items all make up circumstantial
evidence that a meeting with extraterrestrials occurred. The
first is Eisenhower’s missing night. The second is the weak
‘cover story’ used for Eisenhower’s absence. The third is
Light’s description of actual events at the meeting in terms
of the psychological and emotional impact of the described
meeting which is consistent with what could be anticipated.
The final is Light’s description of the composition of
community leaders or ‘wise men’ at the meeting. These four
items collectively provide circumstantial evidence that a
meeting with extraterrestrials occurred and that Eisenhower
was present.
Project Sigma intercepted alien radio communications It was first believed that they were asteroids. Later evidence proved that the objects could only be Spaceships. Project Sigma intercepted alien radio communications. 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 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 humanoid extraterrestrial race was not willing to enter into technology exchanges that might help weapons development, and instead was focused on spiritual development The overtures were rejected. [10] The significant point about Cooper’s version is that the humanoid extraterrestrial race was not willing to enter into technology exchanges that might help weapons development, and instead was focused on spiritual development. Significantly, the overtures of these extraterrestrials were turned down. Confirmation that the First Contact meeting involved extraterrestrials who were effectively spurned for taking what might be considered a principled stand on technology assistance and nuclear weapons comes from the son of a former Navy Commander who claimed that his father had been present at the First Contact event on February 20-21, 1954. According to Charles L. Suggs, a retired Sgt from the US Marine Corps, his father Charles L. Suggs, (1909-1987) was a former Commander with the US Navy who attended the meeting at Edwards Air force base with Eisenhower. [11] Sgt Suggs recounted his father’s experiences from the meeting in a 1991 interview with a prominent UFO researcher: Charlie's father, Navy Commander Charles Suggs accompanied Pres. Ike along with others on Feb. 20th. They met and spoke with 2 white-haired Nordics that had pale blue eyes and colorless lips. The spokesman stood a number of feet away from Ike and would not let him approach any closer. A second nordic stood on the extended ramp of a bi-convex saucer that stood on tripod landing gear on the landing strip. According to Charlie, there were B-58 Hustlers on the field even though the first one did not fly officially till 1956. These visitors said they came from another solar system. They posed detailed questions about our nuclear testing. [12] Another ‘whistleblower’ who confirms that First Contact involved an extraterrestrial race being spurned for their principled stand on technology transfer is the son of the famous creator of the Lear Jet, William Lear. John Lear is a former Lockheed L-1011 Captain who flew over 150 test aircraft and held 18 world speed records, and during the late 1960's, 1970's and early 1980's was a contract pilot for the CIA. Lear developed a close relationship with CIA Director (DCI) William Colby who was in charge of covert operations in Vietnam before becoming DCI. According to Lear there had indeed been a warning from another race prior to an agreement being eventually signed, and he claimed they visited Muroc/Edward and the following occurred:
In 1954, President Eisenhower met with
a representative of another alien species at Muroc Test
Center THE 1954 TREATY WITH THE GREY EXTRATERRESTRIALS
Cooper explained the
terms of the 1954 treaty reached with the Grey
extraterrestrials as follows: The treaty stated that 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, would have no
memory of the event, and that the alien nation would
furnish Majesty Twelve with a list of all human contacts
and abductees on a regularly scheduled basis. [19]
Another whistleblower source for a treaty having been
signed is Phil Schneider, a former geological engineer
that was employed by corporations contracted to build
underground bases worked extensively on black projects
involving extraterrestrials. He revealed his own
knowledge of the treaty in the following: Back in 1954,
under the Eisenhower administration, the federal
government decided to circumvent the Constitution of the
United States and form a treaty with alien entities. It
was called the 1954 Greada Treaty, which basically made
the agreement that the aliens involved could take a few
cows and test their implanting techniques on a few human
beings, but that they had to give details about the
people involved. [20] Schneider’s knowledge of the
treaty would have come from his familiarity with a range
of compartmentalized black projects and interaction with
other personnel working with extraterrestrials. Yet
another whistleblower source for an agreement being
signed is Dr Michael Wolf, who claims to have served on
various policy-making committees responsible for
extraterrestrial affairs for twenty five years. [21] He
claims that the Eisenhower administration entered into
the treaty with an extraterrestrial race and that this
treaty was never ratified as constitutionally required.
[22] Significantly, a number of whistleblowers argue
that the treaty that was signed involved some compulsion
on the part of the extraterrestrials. Don Phillips is a
former Air force serviceman and employee on clandestine
aviation projects who testified having seen documents
describing the meeting between President Eisenhower and
extraterrestrials, and the background to a subsequent
agreement: We have records from 1954 that were meetings
between our own leaders of this country and ET’s here in
California. And, as I understand it from the written
documentation, we were asked if we would allow them to
be here and do research. I have read that our reply was
well, how can we stop you? You are so advanced. And I
will say by this camera and this sound, that it was
President Eisenhower that had this meeting. [23] Col
Phillip Corso, a highly decorated officer that served in
Eisenhower’s National Security Council alluded to a
treaty signed by the Eisenhower administration with
extraterrestrials in his memoirs. He wrote: “We had
negotiated a kind of surrender with them
[extraterrestrials] as long as we couldn’t fight them.
They dictated the terms because they knew what we most
feared was disclosure.” [24] Corso’s claim of a
‘negotiated surrender’ suggests that some sort of
agreement or ‘treaty’ was reached which he was not happy
with.
According to Wolf, the extraterrestrials were Greys from the fourth planet of the star system Zeta Reticulum
.Under no
circumstances is the general public or the public press to
learn of the existence of these entities. The official
government policy is that such creatures do not exist, and
that no agency of the federal government is now engaged in
any study of extraterrestrials or their artifacts.
The controversial Cooper had been subjected
to undoubtedly the longest and most intense
military-intelligence efforts to discredit or intimidate any
whistleblower revealing classified information. The
non-disclosure policy developed for the extraterrestrial
presence is most likely due to a profound policy dilemma on
the part of responsible national security officials. This
dilemma comes from uncertainty over what the true benefits
of the purported 1954 treaty were, and what the consequences
of the treaty would be. While the signing of the treaty
provided US national security agencies an opportunity to
study extraterrestrial technologies, and to observe the
extraterrestrial biological program with abducted civilians,
it appeared the treaty was not as beneficial as was first
thought due to excessive abductions of US civilians. The
subsequent behavior of the Greys in their interactions with
US national security agencies was the most likely reason for
deferring a decision to release news of the treaty and the
extraterrestrial presence to the global public. According to
Lights’ testimony, Eisenhower had indicated to those present
on February 20-21, 1954, that an announcement would be made
soon after the First Contact event. Since this didn’t occur,
and a treaty was eventually signed with a different group of
extraterrestrials, the Greys, this suggested that the
national security agencies were deeply divided over the
wisdom of disclosing this information, and alarmed by the
possible public reaction to the Grey activities.

Biographical Encyclopedia of People In Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research
By Richard Sands, Staff Writer
We are familiar with traditional encyclopedias of science and literature, but an encyclopedia of Ufologists and researchers of the paranormal? Well, yes, it did happen! Amazon.com Publishing Company with the collaboration of Times Square Press have just released the first volume of a massive work "Biographical Encyclopedia of People in Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research", written by the legendary Maximillien de Lafayette who has to his credits 118 books and an astonishing number of reference books on culture, religion, art, civilization and international law. Needles to say, this encyclopedia is quite unique in essence and concept. It contains the profiles, biographies and career highlights of the most prominent personalities of Ufology, ranging from hypnotherapists, psychologists, and university professors, to theologians, debunkers and believers. According to London-based Carol Lexter, editor of this most impressive work, only those who have made their mark in the field are written up in the encyclopedia. One of the criteria for inclusion requires a solid academic background and authorship. In other words, serious writers, scientists, researchers, hypnotherapists, and highly respected Ufologists graced the pages of the encyclopedia. Lexter added: "The roster of the personalities written up in the book includes some of the most brilliant minds in various cultural, educational and scientific disciplines...and who sincerely believe in extraterrestrial civilizations and paranormal faculties." Lexter did mention some of these names. And in fact, Lexter did focus on their credentials, the respect they enjoy in the community and their authorship. Lexter also said that only those who are known for their serious research and bona fide academic credentials are featured in the encyclopedia. Among the honorees are Dr William Birnes, Nancy Hayfield Birns, Alexandra "Chica" Bruce, Richard Dolan, Dr Richard Boylan, Dr Michael Salla, Dr David Jacobs, Barbara Lamb, Mary Rodwell, Dr Lynne D. Kitei, and Ellie Crystal.
"Biographical Encyclopedia of People in Ufology and Scientific Extraterrestrial Research" is a gigantic work. As such, it should serve the ufology community as a major source of information in the field. It is authoritative, well-written, elegantly printed and abundant with profiles and biographies. The massive book of 740 pages is available almost everywhere, and here in London, you can browse it in major book stores and public libraries. It is also available at amazon.com
George Bush (Sr.) and UFOs
Photo:
Grant Cameron.
Cameron wrote that "Of all the Presidents that have been faced with the UFO problem, George Bush seemed, on the surface, to be the best qualified President to have been given the secret. He spent a year as Director of Central Intelligence, the head of the entire United States Intelligence Community for President Ford. Then as DCI, he was in charge of giving intelligence briefings to Jimmy Carter during his transition to the Presidency in 1976."
" I know some. I know a fair amount."
George Bush replying in 1988 to a question about UFOs
while campaigning to become President. " I am very careful
in public life about dealing with classified information."
Bush in 1988 debate with Dukakis. Of all the Presidents
that have been faced with the UFO problem, George Bush
seemed, on the surface, to be the best qualified President
to have been given the secret. He spent a year as Director
of Central Intelligence, the head of the entire United
States Intelligence Community for President Ford. Then as
DCI, he was in charge of giving intelligence briefings to
Jimmy Carter during his transition to the Presidency in
1976. Only four years later Bush was again receiving the
President’s Daily Briefing while a running mate with
Ronald Reagan during his candidacy for the Presidency. For
eight years, while vice-president under Reagan, "he read
the current intelligence publications every day and
requested a great deal of additional support (from the
CIA) for his meetings with foreign leaders." While
President he limited the number of people who could read
the Presidential Daily briefing, "to ensure that the
Agency felt free to include more sensitive material." He
started each day with a briefer from the CIA presenting
him the latest intelligence. Besides limiting the number
of people who had access to the Presidential Daily
Briefing book, all briefing books had to be returned the
same day. The security conscious Bush wanted to prevent
leaks.
Who better to know the ultimate Top Secret about UFOs,
than the man the CIA named the headquarters compound in
Langley Virginia The George Bush Center for Intelligence?
The CIA spoke glowingly of him: "CIA’s relationship
with Bush was undoubtedly the most productive it had
enjoyed with any of the nine presidents it served since
the Agency’s founding in 1947...more than any other
President, he was an experienced consumer of
national-level intelligence...President Bush was uniquely
and extraordinarily well informed." The numerous actions
of George Bush may have been the reason that for the
entire time Bush was Vice-President and then President
rumors ran through the UFO community that Bush was a
member of the Majestic Twelve Group that controlled and
managed the UFO situation. The UFO incidents in the Bush
Presidency were few and far between. This lack of
disclosure may have gone back to George Bush’s term as the
head of the CIA for Gerald Ford. Bush had learned the
reasons for keeping secrets, and remained tight-lipped
about the UFO situation while President. Part of the lack
of UFO incidents was undoubtedly due to the fact that
President Bush only served one term in the White House.
The addition of Dan Quail as Vice-President only added to
the apparent weakness of the Presidency. In a letter from
the Bush library they informed this author that there was
only one UFO document in the entire Presidential
collection. Does these mean that the UFO phenomena went
away during the Bush years, or that Bush was able to
deflect all UFO paperwork to other agencies such as the
Air Force, NASA, or highly classified black-budget
programs set up to specifically deal with the UFO
situation away from the probing eyes of the public?
In 1988, during his campaign to become President, George
Bush broke with his standard silence on the UFO issue. The
incident reawakened all the Ufologists who had believed
for years that George Bush was one of the key members of
the MJ-12 group that was covering things up. The
incident occurred on March 7, 1988, during a trip to a
George Bush for President Rally in Rogers, Arkansas.
George Bush was about to go into a building to meet with
reporters when a UFO researcher approached him by the name
of Charles Huffer. Huffer. In the days before 911, Huffer
and his tape recorder were allowed to walk up to the
Vice-president and ask him the UFO question all the
conspiracy buffs had wanted asked for years. "Mr.
Bush, Mr. President," asked Mr. Huffer (in the excitement
of the moment Mr. Huffer called him President). "Will you
tell the people the truth about UFOs?" "Yeah,"
replied Bush. Then realizing what he has just said Bush
added, "If we can find it, what it is. We are really
interested." "You’ll have it, you’ll have it." said
Huffer. "It’s in there. (I meant it would be in his
briefing when he became president) Declassify it and tell
us, ok?" "OK," said Bush, " alright, yes." Bush then
entered the building where he met with the local Arkansas
press. Huffer remained outside waiting for Bush to come
back out. When he did emerge from the building, Huffer his
tape recorder running told George Bush, "Going to hold you
to that promise." "Alright," replied Bush. "OK," said
Huffer, "you’re going to get it." (I meant the UFO
information). "Why don’t you send me some information
about it? " asked Bush. "Naw," said Huffer, "you’re a CIA
man. You know all that stuff." " I know some," replied
Bush. "I know a fair amount"
The Bush Huffer encounter quickly sped through the UFO
community. No one, however, had the details. UFO
newsletters and magazines wrote that someone had asked
Bush the UFO question, and that he had confirmed
something. Many of the stories had him confirming he was
with MJ-12. By the time George Bush entered the White
House the story had died down. Huffer had come close to
shaking loose the UFO answer from a sitting
Vice-president, and former director of all dozen U.S.
intelligence agencies. The effort failed because no one
came to Huffer aide with new questions. It was a situation
similar to a situation that would occur in the Clinton
White House when Deborah Orin from the New York Post stood
up in a White House Press conference and asked about
President Clinton giving his friend Webster Hubble the job
of finding out if there were UFOs. Orin reported that she
asked her question, and then went back with a follow-up.
Clinton’s Press Secretary was able to deflect both
questions. Orin waited for another reporter to use one of
their questions to help get an answer. The other reporters
as Orin phrased it, "they rolled over and played dead."
Like Clinton, Bush was able to make it around the bases to
the White House without being tagged. Now protected by the
world’s best security, and a White House press corps that
wouldn’t ask the UFO question if the flying saucer landed
on the White House lawn, President Bush did not have to
worry about answering the UFO question again.
Stars Wars and Martian Aliens: There was an event in the
Bush administration, which was not a provable direct
action by the President, but it did harken back to Ronald
Reagan and his alien invasion speeches. The newspaper
writer Billy Cox mentioned it in a letter to this author.
" I don’t know if you caught Nightline last week," wrote
Cox, "but it dealt with the new, unprecedented spirit of
cooperation between the KGB and the CIA. X-CIA chief Bill
Colby said this new data sharing was like something you
would expect the superpowers to do if there were an
extraterrestrial threat. Shades of Ronald Reagan." Perhaps
the invading aliens were from Mars. George Bush was
rumored to be a big advocate of Mars exploration. The
story circulated that Bush had words with Soviet leader
Gorbachev when they met at sea for a summit at a place
called the Bay of Mars. One of the Ufologists who claimed
contact with the Bush White House on the Martian issue was
Richard Hoagland.
Bush Talks Star Travel: President Ronald Reagan had while
president signed a national space policy. Included in the
goals of the space policy "to expand human presence and
activity beyond Earth orbit into the solar system." When
President Bush took over as President he made a speech on
the steps of the National Air and Space Museum down the
mall from the White House. The speech indicated that Bush
was promising to go even farther than Reagan had dreamed.
You are the children of the new century - raise your eyes
to the heavens and join us in a great dream - an American
dream - a dream without end. Americans will follow the
path of Pioneer 10. We will travel to neighboring stars,
to new worlds, to discover the unknown. And it will not
happen in my lifetime, and probably not during the lives
of my children, but a dream to be realized by future
generations must begin with this generation." For those
who hoped that the former CIA Director would reveal the
truth of the UFO, the speech given to mark the 20th
anniversary of man’s first flight to the moon was a
positive sign. Unfortunately somewhere on the way to
disclosing the truth President Bush lost his way.
Protection for Bush? Perhaps one of the strangest
Presidential UFO stories comes from circumstances
surrounding an abduction of a lady by the name of Linda
Napolitano that occurred in November 1989, and disclosures
made about the case by Dr. Steven Greer. In order to
understand the story one must review what Dr. Greer’s
world view regarding Extraterrestrial visitations, and
with the associated abduction phenomena. Greer has made it
quite clear that he does not agree with the interpretation
of the abduction phenomena as it is written up by a number
of researchers who have studied the abduction phenomena.
This view, expressed by Ufologists such as Bud Hopkins,
contents that aliens are abducting humans as part of some
sort of genetic program. Dr. Greer, on the other hand,
believes that a renegade "black-budget" group can explain
almost all of these "abductions." This is done using
deceptive, psychological warfare on the American people.
Greer maintains that the group possesses the developed
technology to make members of the public believe evil
aliens have abducted them, or that they have talked to
God, or anything else they chose to have them believe. In
a 1999 interview Dr. Greer explained: "We have...advanced
black budget covert projects that operate outside of any
constitutional oversight have taken extraterrestrial
materials and biological matter and created scenarios
using those to make it look like there are
extraterrestrial events going on which are, in fact, 100
percent human in origin. For example, the Grays that I
know that exist are artificial biological life forms that
are made out at a facility in New Mexico named Dulce which
is connected underground to Los Alamos." "We have already
cloned not only humans, but things that look
extraterrestrial but aren't. They're based on the genetic
material that we have retrieved. I'm telling you on the
record for the first time that we do have this ability and
I have people who can confirm this."
"Humans have also been targeted for abduction by
paramilitary units using very sophisticated warfare
systems, electronics that can interface with consciousness
and have set up these things called, ‘abductions.’" "I'm
not saying that every person who's had an ET encounter has
been the victim of a military encounter, but the ones you
hear about for the most part are victims of military
operations. This sounds more bizarre than saying there are
ETs, but it also happens to be the truth. I have spoken to
people who have been on abduction squads and they don't
know why they're doing this. They're commanded to do it
and they do it. For many years we have had what are
called, "alien reproduction vehicles," that look like UFOs
but are manufactured by a consortium of companies such as
Lockheed Martin, Northrup, E-Systems, and SAIC and others.
These things in conjunction with electronics that allow an
interface with conscious thought and the conscious state
of a human have been used to simulate extraterrestrial
abductions. What's disturbing about this is that people
who have had real ET encounters have subsequently been
targeted for this kind of faux experience to confuse the
database and put a spin of fear on the subject. There has
been a deliberate attempt to demonize and frighten people
about this issue. Abductions, cattle mutilations, and
other frightening scenarios have been militarily
orchestrated for the purpose of putting information out
which would discredit the field in the eyes of mainstream
scientists, policy makers, and the media. The reason
behind this is that people profit from war. Military
spending in the world just hit a trillion dollars this
year. To grow it to a three trillion dollar business in
the next millennia, you've got to have an enemy off
planet, because everyone knows that with every small
country in the world getting nuclear weapons, we can't
afford any more international conflicts that are of any
significance. There is an attempt in my opinion to export
this "threat."... Instead of the "evil empire" being the
Soviet Union, there has been an attempt to gradually
indoctrinate and condition people to be afraid of and to
hate everything extraterrestrial so that there could be a
justification for the military industrial complex to have
a very strong, space-based presence in the next century."
The power to abduct is according to Greer the ultimate
"trump card" to control the President or anyone else in
power from revealing the UFO secret. " It can be made very
clear to them," Greer told Art Bell, "that if they don’t
play along, the trump card can be played." On November 30,
1989 an incident occurred in New York City involving Linda
Napolitano and her son. Under hypnosis Linda recalled
being abducted from her 12th floor apartment building on
the lower east side of Manhattan in New York City.
Budd Hopkins, a New York City UFO researcher who had
worked with hundreds of abductees, investigated the case.
During the course of the investigation, Hopkins learned
that Linda had received correspondence from a man who
claimed to have witnessed the abduction. The man claimed
his car had stalled two blocks away and that he and two
men with him had witnessed the whole event about 3:30 in
the morning. This man, who wrote Linda and Hopkins about
the event, turned out to be the United Nations Secretary
General Javier Perez de Cuellar . Perez de Cuellar was in
New York City at the time traveling from a heliport into
the city with his two secret service men. After further
investigation, Hopkins determined that Perez de Cuellar
was not a witness, but had been abducted as well. This
fact was confirmed by Linda’s son who identified the
Secretary General from twenty photos of men shown to him
by Hopkins, as the man who was with him and comforted him
during the abduction. Hopkins contacted Perez de Cuellar
in person about the letters he had sent to Linda and
himself, and de Cuellar didn’t deny his involvement.
Hopkins declined to name Perez de Cuellar in his book
detailing the abduction called Witnessed: The True Story
of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions. "I feel a great
deal of pity for him," stated Hopkins. Later in 1996 under
pressure from the NOVA television show to make it public,
de Cuellar, then a private citizen denied he had been
abducted. The next part of the story is provided by Dr.
Steven Greer who himself has briefed United Nations
Secretary Generals about the UFO/ETI situation. Greer,
however, fully believed that the incident with the
Secretary General was not an abduction but a "covert
kidnapping" of the Secretary General. Greer received his
account of the incident from a head of state that was
involved with Perez de Cuellar at the time. This official
described to Greer what had happened.
"He was working with a number of other world leaders to
come out with exactly what CSETI is attempting to do now
and he was made to disappear, as it were, in a faked or
hoaxed abduction attempt. Then he was told on board the
craft that he should cease and desist from any further
attempt to bring this information out. If he and the other
leaders didn’t, all of them would be abducted . . . Bud
Hopkins thinks it was an abduction. It was not an
abduction". In an article Dr. Greer wrote detailing his
view of the abduction phenomena, he again spoke of the De
Cuellar abduction without mentioning Perez De Cuellar’s
name. In the article Greer added that the event had so
panicked the Bush White House that the disclosure plans
for the UFO secret was immediately called off. He wrote,
"...Worse yet, these capabilities have been used to
'abduct', intimidate and deceive world leaders on this
subject, and to specifically get them to maintain the
secret status of these programs. Specifically, the
abduction of a certain past MAJOR world leader was
orchestrated by covert forces attempting to end a planned
disclosure on this subject by this leader, the US
President, the head of the USSR and others. A first hand
witness, who is friends with this world leader and is
himself a head of state, has related the details of this
abduction to me personally. It was an effective, if
horrible attempt to frighten these world leaders into
ending their plans to disclose the UFO information to the
world at the end of the cold war. Both this world leader,
and the head of state and friend who related this to me,
did not know that this event was done by covert human
forces. They thought it was an actual alien abduction! And
the message offered to this world leader, by these hoaxed
aliens? 'Cease your plans to disclose our presence to the
world, or we can and will abduct every world leader
involved...' How convenient. Notwithstanding the fact that
in this same time frame ET craft were being seen in a
massive wave in Belgium, and one would soon begin in the
volcanic zone of Mexico and around Mexico City, we are to
believe that the E.T.s would abduct a world leader to hide
their presence! This, I am told, 'blew up like an atomic
bomb in the White House', and all plans to effect a
disclosure on this subject were ended, forthwith and
forever."
In checking the Greer version of the DuCuellar abduction a
series of events were uncovered that indicated that the
Greer story, no matter how bizarre at first glance, might
actually be true. Was there a worldwide plan to release
the UFO secret following the collapse of the Soviet Union
and the cold war? Was there an effort by someone to stop
it? Consider the following:
1. On the day of the De Cuellar abduction, George Bush
left Washington for Malta and the first post cold war
summit.
2. The evening of the abduction, only hours before the 3
am abduction, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was
meeting privately with George Bush at the White House. He
had just returned from the Soviet Union and a meeting with
Gorbachev. His purpose in meeting with Bush was to "brief"
him about his meeting with Gorbachev.
3. Rumors have Brian Mulroney in New York City following
his visit with Bush. There were apparently five cars in
the De Cuellar motorcade, and there is at least one rumor
that Mulroney was in the motorcade. Bud Hopkins stated
when asked he had never heard about the Canadian Prime
Minister being in the motorcade.
4. The De Cuellar motorcade was, according to Richard one
of De Cuellar’s secret service agents, heading for
heliport at Governors Island. This island on the southern
most part of Manhattan is a U.S. Coast Guard authorized
personnel-only complex. The secure complex was the site of
the summit meeting held the year before between President
Reagan and Gorbachev, along with President-elect Bush.
As strange as this story might appear, there is no doubt
that some sort of bizarre abduction event occurred in New
York City on November 30, 1989. There is also little doubt
that it involved the then Secretary General of the United
Nations and a number of world leaders in New York on the
night in question to meet about critical and dramatic
shifts in the balance of power among countries of the
world. They were in New York, in effect, to oversee the
end of the "cold war.’ Because of the importance of the
players in the event, and the high classification given to
UFO events, it is not surprising that confusion still
rains supreme in attempt to sort out exactly what occurred
in this event.
Bush and SETI: Less spectacular than the story of the
possible abduction of the most powerful man in the world
are the stories of the everyday alien events that occurred
in the Bush White House. One involved the association of
the Bush science people in possible detections of signals
from outer space.
The official government funded Search For Extraterrestrial
Life (SETI) program had been killed during the Carter
administration. In early 1977, Carter had gone to NASA for
support in investigating UFOs, and had in turn promised
continued support for the NASA SETI program, which had
begun in 1974 when NASA first funded "a preliminary
Interstellar Communications Study Group." With the kind
support of the "UFO President," by 1978 NASA had requested
$2 million for an initiation of an all-sky, all frequency
search for radio signals from intelligent extraterrestrial
life using some of the existing antennas of the Deep Space
Network at Goldstone, California, and some
state-of-the-art hardware that was to be developed
specifically for the program." Carter’s space people were
projected a cost of $15 million over 7 years. It was at
this point that conservative Republican Senator William
Proxmire awarded the Carter NASA alien hunters "a Golden
Fleece" award for the project, which he figured "should be
postponed for a few million light-years." Within months
congressional funds for SETI were stricken from the 1979
HUD-appropriation bill. In 1981 Senator Proxmire
discovered that the Carter people were still funneling
money into the project. NASA had spent $500,000 during
`980 and the budget for 1981 and 1982 was $1 million a
year. The Senator again rose in the Senate to denounce the
spending. When he had finished his speech the money was
completely cut off without a dissenting voice being
raised. One would assume then, that when Bush arrived in
the Oval Office all attempts by the White House to help
E.T. phone home would have been a thing of the past. A
book put out by Howard Blum in 1990 seemed to indicate
that was not true. Bush’s Science Director through the
office Of Science and Technology Policy was still actively
funding SETI efforts going on at the NASA Goldstone
complex out in the Mojave desert. The man in charge of the
White House effort was Jonathan Thompson, who was an
executive secretary to the President’s Science Advisor,
Dr. Allan Bromley. He had made many trips to the
California complex to meet with the project director and
learn if there was any progress in the E.T. search. In an
interview with Howard Blum in a hotel dining room down the
street from the White House, Thompson told Blum that a
well-known SETI scientist at Goldstone had told him the
study was reaping results. He told Thompson, "We’ve been
getting some repetitive noises from space. Very curious
signals. When Washington finds out, it’ll shake them up."
Thompson told Blum that just hearing this had shaken him
up. Blum traveled to Goldstone and spoke to the same SETI
scientist who had told the White House representative that
they were picking up signals. The scientist, however,
denied he had said any such thing to Jonathan Thompson.
Blum contacted Thompson, and Thompson confirmed what the
scientist had told him about the signals they were
receiving. "They must have reasons," Thompson told Blum,
"for not telling you what they told me."
Bush Insights: Whether or not George Bush was a deep MJ-12
insider, or just a Texas oilman who made it to the Oval
Office through a movement of fate, Bush did express his
prediction about travel to other parts of the universe. In
a speech marking the 20th anniversary of man’s landing on
the moon President Bush said this about travel to future
stars. We will travel to neighboring stars, to new
worlds, to discover the unknown. And it will not happen in
my lifetime, and probably not during the lives of my
children, but a dream to be realized by future generations
must begin with this generation. We cannot take the next
giant leap for mankind tomorrow unless we take a single
step today.
Bush Says UFO Promise Still
On
Summary: Therefore, when Cheney arrived in Roswell a few months later, many thought it was a sign of positive things to come. Cheney, to the disappointment of many UFO watchers, simply made his speech with no mention of E.T.s or anything remotely close, and flew on to Wyoming. Disclosure didn’t come, but the UFO hopefuls still remained optimistic.
Vice-President Dick Cheney recently returned
to the UFO capitol of the world - Roswell, New Mexico. It
was his first trip there since a visit there during the
waning days of the 2000 Presidential campaign. During his
first Roswell visit in late October 2000, newspapers
reported, "Cheney was greeted by a sign that depicted a
little green man with a heart and the name ‘Cheney’—as in
‘Space Aliens Love Cheney.’" Because Cheney had been a
former Secretary of Defense, many within the UFO community
speculated that the visit might have been a hint at an
upcoming UFO disclosure. Even the October 26, 2000 New York
Times noted the extraterrestrial significance of the Cheney
stopover with its headline "The Alien Factor: And Out in
Roswell." Another reason for the Ufological optimism was
that the 2000 Roswell visit by Cheney occurred shortly after
the now infamous meeting between presidential candidate
George W. Bush and Arkansas native Charles Huffer. It was
during that July 2000 campaign encounter that Huffer asked
George Bush if he were elected President would he disclose
"the truth about UFOs." Bush in reply stated "Sure. I will .
. . It will be the first thing he (pointing to Cheney) will
do. He’ll get right on it." Therefore, when Cheney arrived
in Roswell a few months later, many thought it was a sign of
positive things to come. Cheney, to the disappointment of
many UFO watchers, simply made his speech with no mention of
E.T.s or anything remotely close, and flew on to Wyoming.
Disclosure didn’t come, but the UFO hopefuls still remained
optimistic.
The latest October 2002 visit by Cheney to Roswell also came
with signs that this too could be a nod and a wink to the
UFO community. Instead of speaking at the town hall as he
had in 2000, Cheney chose to speak to the 3,000 faithful
inside Hanger 32 at the Roswell Industrial Air Center.
(Formally Roswell Army Air Field) This hanger, of course, is
just a hop and a skip down the tarmac from Hanger 84 where
the Roswell alien bodies were rumored to have been stored
following the now famous 1947 Roswell weather balloon crash.
The most recent visit to the old Roswell Air Base also
closely mimicked the visit a fellow Republican, and former
president, Ronald Reagan made to the base for a campaign
speech for then Senator Harrison Schmitt in 1982. Like
Cheney, Reagan made a short stopover Roswell speech in late
October, just prior to the mid-term election. Like the
Cheney visits, the Reagan visit to the Roswell Air Base also
stirred up the UFO community, occurring only months after
Steven Spielberg had visited the White House and had given a
private screening of "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial" for Reagan
and three dozen of his close friends and colleagues. While
giving his Roswell speech, Reagan always prepared to play to
the audience, even mentioned the popular "E.T." in his
speech.
That’s the good news. Now for the bad news.
From the beginning of the Bush administration, the promise
made to Charles Huffer for UFO disclosure appeared to
quickly fade to a distant memory. Once in office the
President Bush did not make UFOs the first thing "Cheney
would do." In fact, all evidence pointed to the fact that
the Bush White House did nothing on the UFO front. Worse in
fact, in light of perceived threats from every direction,
the Bush administration made new riveting cold-war style
secrecy the order of the day. This new secrecy was not
exactly amenable to UFO disclosure. Moreover, Dick Cheney
was asked during an April 2001 Washington D.C. open line
show, "If he had ever been briefed on the subjects of UFOs,
and if so what had he been told." His reply seemed to put
out the final embers of the UFO disclosure fire. "If I had
been briefed on UFOs," replied Cheney, "it probably would
have been classified, and I wouldn’t be talking about it."
So it was that when Cheney arrived at the Roswell Air Base
last month, where in 1947 pieces of the first recovered
flying saucer were loaded on planes for Wright-Patterson
AFB, his only objectives appeared to be the same as they
were in when he visited in October 2000 -- votes and money.
The Cheney agenda while in Roswell turned out to be one that
would make any extraterrestrial grimace. His 15-minute
prepared speech centered on war and the latest international
boogieman Saddam Hussein, issues that have elevated the
Republicans high in the polls. (Likewise Saddam Hussein
playing the same game - has a popularity rating in his own
country in the high nineties) "Saddam Hussein must disarm,"
stated Cheney, "or, for the sake of peace, the United States
will disarm him." The second item on the Cheney Roswell
itinerary was oil and money. In support of Steve Pearce, 2nd
Congressional District Candidate, Cheney was a featured
guest at the home of Roswell oilman George Yates, chairman
and chief executive officer of HEYCO Energy Group. About 250
guests each shelling out $250 attended. Cheney, who had
spent many days in the past year hiding at an unknown
location, was now freely visible and available for photo
sessions with couples that were willing to put up $1,000.
And so it was for the Cheney visit to Roswell. And so it is
for elections, and the campaign visits that precede them.
They are in the end about votes, and how to get them. It is
the person with the most votes who wins - not the candidate
with the best plan to save the world. Opinion polls that
measure the "what can you do for me factor" in the
electorate, are important despite the words of former
Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker who reportedly
said, "Dogs know what to do with polls." Getting the most
votes takes convincing the people that you best represent
the opinions reflected in the latest pole. It then takes
money to get that image to the voters with advertising, TV
commercials, and the like. ($80.00 per voter is being spent
in South Dakota) It also takes the proper strategy such as
sending in your big guns into close races at exactly the
right time to win the marginal vote, as both parties are
doing at the closing bell. A few years back former President
of Penn State University, Dr. Eric Walker, hinted in
interviews that he knew quite a bit about the UFO situation
at the highest level. In addition, he hinted that he had
been there in 1947, as policies were being developed to deal
with the UFO situation. Dr. Walker was asked who made up the
group that controlled UFO policy. His reply spoke of
"invited" rather than "elected." "They are a group of
elite," he stated. "If you were invited into this group I
would know." In eight years of contact with various
researchers Dr. Walker never indicated that politicians were
involved. He stated that the group was international in
nature, and that one would need the "mind of Einstein" to
understand it. Perhaps as Walker hinted, politicians are
not, and have never been a part of the UFO cover-up. They
may simply be pawns like the rest of us. Politicians, after
all are people doing a job. That job involves following the
polls to attract the greatest number of votes, because
re-election, and thereby continued power and influence, is
the name of the game. Find out what people want for
Christmas, and then promise to buy it for them with their
own money. These are items that find no parallel in UFO
research. Consequently, public support has never
materialized for UFOs, because the public does not yet see
any financial or security gain coming from disclosure. UFOs
do not yet look like a Christmas present.
UFOs would not be in the top hundred concerns in opinion
polls, as they do not yet represent an economic or security
concern such as the items that now dominate the polls. In
addition, the UFO disclosure movement suffers from the fact
that there are very few financial backers to finance a 21st
century UFO political campaign. This is because the money
behind many present day politicians (oil industry, military,
legal firms, business, and big stock holders) is tied into
the "old economy" – the one the UFO technology will leave
behind. People are motivated by self-interest –surprise,
surprise! Politicians are transitory figures who come and
go. The president, for example, has a term of no more than
eight years. The UFO phenomenon, by all indications, is a
long-term problem faced by those who hold the reins. It is
therefore not logically a problem that would ever been
handed over to a bunch of short-term politicians who are
here today and gone tomorrow. It is also hardly the type of
problem that could be dealt with by referring to opinion
polls for guidance. Wilbert Smith, who directed the Canadian
government’s classified UFO study from 1950-1954, described
the politician’s UFO dilemma in a paper he wrote to describe
why the government covered up the UFO phenomena.
"Politicians have two interests in life; first to win an
election, and second, to do as good a job as possible of
representing their constituency. Neither of these could be
considered as embracing flying saucer investigations. True,
a member of the house may ask questions about flying
saucers, suggest that something might be done about their
study, or even introduce a bill to take definite action, but
without strong public support the result is only so much
more wordage in the official record. Furthermore, because of
the type of publicity from which the whole flying saucer
subject has suffered, politicians who are naturally very
sensitive to public reaction are reluctant to stick their
necks out. In light of the foregoing reasoning I feel that
we need not expect any significant statement with respect to
flying saucers by any government agency." This is the true
signal that should be perceived from the recent Cheney visit
to the holiest of all UFO shrines. Like Reagan before him,
Cheney was a simply a politician doing his job. That job was
to come to the aid of a congressional seat that was close
and therefore winnable. Furthermore, being a prominent
figure he used his prominence to help gather the millions in
campaign funds needed to win elections and gain political
power. Once gas tops $20.00/gal., or once pollution creates
major damage to the U.S. economy, UFOs might move onto the
electors "Christmas wish list." The election of 2002 is,
however, still dominated by the oil-generated economy and
short-term public concerns. The future is not all bleak,
however. Disclosure is not dead yet. Today as President
George Bush made a last minute swing through the American
Midwest stumping for Republican candidates, he ran across
the man who started it all – UFO researcher Charles Huffer.
As Bush headed for Air Force One Huffer stuck out his hand
and reminded him of the July 2000 promise to release "the
truth on UFOs." Huffer asked him if the promise still held.
Bush’s answer was "Yes." In an E-mail to this author Huffer
recounted the event. "Today as This afternoon, 4 November
2002, President George W. Bush attended a Republican
Campaign Rally at the Northwest Regional Airport (XNA) in
Northwest Arkansas. After the rally was over, while on the
way to Air Force One, President Bush shook hands with some
of the people at the rally. My hand was one of those. I took
the opportunity to remind President Bush that he had
promised ME over two years ago that he would tell us the
truth about UFOs. I then asked if he intended to keep that
promise. He answered: ‘Yes’". "Unfortunately, this time I
did not have my recorder with me so this report is no better
than hearsay. But it did happen."
UFO/ET Phenomena Observed by CSETI Field Teams

Dr. Ted Loder is a respected scientist and oceanography professor at the University of New Hampshire. After learning from his cousin, Brigadier General Stephen Lovekin, that the ET/UFO subject is not only real but is the key to technologies that could preserve our Earth's environment while advancing humanity into a sustainable planetary society, he has become an outspoken advocate for ending the secrecy surrounding this subject. He has worked to introduce students, other scientists, and legislators to the fact that humans are not alone in the universe.
Summary: The following list includes phenomena and responses that have been observed by many CSETI working groups in the field at many locations throughout the world. Any additional information on phenomena would be welcome and will be added to the list.
Introduction
When observing in the field, it is important for a CSETI
field team to be alert for a significant variety of
phenomena that are associated with ET activity. These
include phenomena that impact on the full range of senses
including visual, remote viewing, hearing, touch, smell, and
emotional. It is sometimes possible to determine the
efficacy of a suspected craft by using CE-5 protocols
including light/laser signals or thought/mind requests for a
response signal indicative of a true ET craft. The following
list includes phenomena and responses that have been
observed by many CSETI working groups in the field at many
locations throughout the world. Any additional information
on phenomena would be welcome and will be added to the list.
Visual - Sky - Night time sightings
Alleged meteorites: Incoming ET craft can often
appear to look like a meteor, however, sometimes they act
very different then a normal meteor. They may move more
slowly than a normal meteor. A second meteor follows the
same path through the sky within seconds. They move across
the sky in a horizontal manner. Their flight path changes
directions sometimes by as much as 90 degrees or they zigzag
in flight. A number of meteors fall along the same path
during the evening. They respond to thought command to
change direction. They just feel different (hard to really
describe or nail down). They are larger, brighter, and more
spherical. They don't have a tail. They flash bright or get
dimmer on their own or in response to being signaled at with
a spot light or laser light. They may enter a building
through a window. This phenomenon was seen by a CSETI team
in England in July 1997. A distinct blue-white sphere moved
through the sky in an arc from behind a large tree and
entered the window of the house where Dr. Greer and Shari
Adamiak, inside, saw it appear as a small, shimmering ET.
They may be huge, brightly colored, and streak directly down
from the apex of the sky and go into the ground with no
explosion, disturbance of the ground, etc. A CSETI team
witnessed a bright teal object do exactly this in Joshua
Tree National Park in November 1996.
Alleged satellites: Satellites move at a constant
speed across the sky and are usually seen during the first
few hours after sunset. They may appear with a constant
brightness or may pulse in a regular fashion as the
satellite rotates reflecting sunlight. Some satellites (i.e.
Iridium types) may flash very brightly as the sun glint from
their solar panels reflects to the ground. Constant speed
and course characterize real satellites. Low level
satellites usually traverse the sky from zenith to horizon
in 2-4 (?) minutes. ET craft or ARVs (Alien Reproduction
Vehicles - made on earth) can travel at speeds ranging from
virtually standing still (hovering) to speeds allowing them
to traverse the width of the sky in a fraction of a second
to several seconds. They also can change speed and direction
more rapidly than conventional aircraft. Satellites are
visible until they gradually fade from view. Anomalous
"satellites" suddenly disappear, or if viewed through
powerful night-vision binoculars, can be seen to dart
swiftly into space at an angle perpendicular to their
earlier trajectory. ET craft may change direction or speed
or may change brightness sometimes in response to a directed
thought or signal such as a powerful flashlight or laser. ET
craft may also appear at any time of the night unlike normal
satellites.
Star-like UFOs: Here we refer to objects that appear
to be stars at first observation, but act differently in the
following manners. They blink off and on, sometimes
randomly, sometimes moving slightly between the blinks. We
observed a whole "squadron" of craft one evening in Sedona
that blinked off and on for 10-15 minutes in one area of the
sky. When a laser was pointed at one of the craft it glinted
off the craft. Night vision scopes can be useful in
determining the number of craft if they are far away. A
star-like object appears on or near the horizon (most common
though they can be most anywhere) and remains there
motionless for a long period of time (minutes to hours).
These are often dismissed as a star until it suddenly flies
off, changes brightness, or fades out in a cloudless sky. It
may also change its appearance in response to signals. Some
stars twinkle actively and change colors, twinkling white,
green, and red, especially when they are near the horizon.
So do some UFOs. A star-like object may be seen in the sky,
and over a period of a few hours, may be observed to move
east while all the other stars in the sky move west. This
phenomenon was observed by a CSETI team in England in 1997.
A large, twinkling "star" was seen to move from behind one
large tree and travel 30 degrees across the sky and
disappear behind another tree, while all the other stars
moved in the opposite direction.
(Air) Plane-like UFOs: Here we refer to airplane-like
objects that are lighted and fly like planes, but are not
planes. They may be either ET craft or ARVs (Alien
Reproduction Vehicles - made on Earth). Although all planes
are required by the FAA to flash or strobe lights at night,
some planes and some UFOs do not. (Is this true?) In Sedona,
AZ, a CSETI team watched a probable ARV fly by silently,
with no flashing lights in the company of military
reconnaissance jets. Its speed, odd lighting and silent
behavior made it appear very anomalous, although at first
glance it looked like another plane in the night sky.
Usually flashing or strobing planes that sound like jet or
prop engines are normal planes, however totally silent
planes may be UFOs (or ARVs), note the sound of other
"planes" in the same area of the sky. Any plane that appears
to be silent should be watched very carefully even though it
may appear to be a perfectly normal plane. ET craft can be
cloaked to appear perfectly normal. In Crestone, CO, several
years ago, a group of CSETI workers observed a small private
plane fly very low right over the group in total silence,
and then proceed into a mountain canyon and just disappear.
Many of the witnesses later reported seeing the plane in
different colors.
Orbs and Lights
Distant orbs: Depending on their size and proximity
to the observer, these objects may appear as single
star-like objects up to round glowing objects of varying
sizes. They are often a uniform amber or gold in color
though they can appear in various colors. Airplane landing
lights are often mistaken for orbs, but can usually be
differentiated by noting the light’s location (such as
proximity to an airport), strobing lights and/or associated
red and green navigation lights. Orbs often will remain
stationary for a period of time though they do move about as
well. Lights may be any color and can appear singly or in
groups. Group lights may be either individual craft flying
together or a single large craft with lights on the outer
edges such as observed over the Santa Barbara channel or
Phoenix, AZ. Flares, often dropped by the military to
confuse observers after a genuine sighting has occurred,
float downwards at different rates and give off smoke seen
above the floating lights. Since they fall at different
rates, a line of flares will often have a jagged appearance
after several minutes.
Close orbs: These often appear as small spots of
light (like a laser spot) or small globes that may appear
within several 100 meters or as close as touching a working
group member. These are often considered to be probes and
either contain intelligence or are under intelligent control
(the difference may be academic). They can move about,
change intensity and just appear and disappear. They can
also appear as amber-colored "street lights", and may even
be mistaken for street lights until they suddenly disappear,
or are seen in rural fields where there are no street lights
(e.g. the "golden orbs" often seen in Wiltshire, England).
Close orbs can also be very misleading when they are
initially observed and mistaken for people with flashlights
or other simple explanations. For example a small group of
very experienced CSETI team members described the following
observations in Sedona one night in November, 1998. "…..I
saw four lights behind J. which I thought at the time were
shining from the road. There were three lights, light amber
in color, roughly the size of an average flashlight, in an
uneven row. To the right of the 3 amber lights was a dull
red light at least twice the size of the others. In the red
light there seemed to be a small grid-like pattern. There
were no beams coming from the lights. The four lights then
moved rather irregularly to the right and out of my sight. I
then commented to the others that I had seen some lights and
perhaps there were people on the road. Every one commented
that they hadn’t heard anything and there certainly was dead
silence on the site." …" I kept thinking about the lights
that I had seen and finally asked D. to shine the big light
in the direction I had seen the lights. When she shined the
light it did not illuminate the road - the road was too far
down the ramp to be seen - it illuminated the edge of the
mesa at least 20 feet behind the truck. That’s where I had
seen the lights, no more than 40 feet (roughly) from where
we were sitting! The lights had moved to the right behind
the truck out of sight and had not reappeared."
Very Large Orbs: Observers (CSETI and others) in
England in 1998 twice saw a very large (3X full moon) orange
globe rise above the horizon, then dip back below, then rise
again before it suddenly disappeared. This object was
observed on two nights, in different directions each night.
The second night, after it rose above the horizon for the
second time, it "dissolved" as it disappeared, and several
British military jets and helicopters appeared in the area
within 30 seconds, even dropping a flare in the vicinity of
where the object had been seen. Although orb appearances may
be for extended time periods (minutes to hours) sometimes
they appear so quickly, one has to be looking in just the
right direction to see one. In Joshua Tree in 1997, 5 to 6
CSETI team members observed a globe-like object 1/4 to 1/3
the diameter of the nearly full moon appear to the left and
below the moon and travel to the right and below the moon
and then just vanish all in just a few seconds.
Dark objects: These objects (craft) are often
observed under starlit skies with minimum moonlight and may
be moving or still. They may appear as rapidly moving black
objects (unlit) that stand out against the star field and
can range in size from small to apparently huge. For
example, in 1997, a group on Mount Blanca, CO watched a
rectangular cloud form over the top of the mountain on a
cloudless night. A few minutes later a black object was seen
to fly up, out of the cloud, which then disappeared. More
examples of these darting black objects were seen by a CSETI
team in Hawaii in 1998 through a foggy mist.
Distorted Sky: There are times when a craft hovering
just beyond the crossing point of light will cause a
distortion in the star field. It will appear as though there
are heat waves or shimmering even though no object can be
seen. There are other times when a small portion of the sky
may appear darker than the surrounding sky. This may be
indicative of a hovering cloaked craft. These distortions
have been observed both at a distance and close to an
observing group when a craft was either just above a group
or surrounding a group. In England in 1998, the beam of a
powerful laser directed at an area approximately 25 feet
from the group was distorted/bent when it hit the edges of a
cloaked object on the ground (and partly on a river).
Grids and energy fields: Some observers have reported
seeing a manifestation of energy grids in the sky which
appear as lines of light which may sparkle or fade in and
out. These can often be very subtle and therefore not seen
by every member of the team. However, on Mt. Blanca several
years ago nearly everyone in the group was able to see
energy sparkles all over the mountain, appearing like
lightening bugs from a distance.
Flashlight or Camera-like Flashes: Flashes of
light have appeared in mid-air, with no apparent source. In
England in 1997, two flashlight-like streams of light burst
horizontally amid a group of people, but others surrounding
the group were not using their flashlights. In Hawaii in
1998, four CSETI observers witnessed two flashes within a
few feet of the group, as though flash photos had been
taken, but there were no cameras nearby.
Close Proximity Events with a Craft beyond the Crossing
Point of Light: There are a number of signs to look for
in the event that a craft has approached a group in the
field and is just beyond the crossing point of light. We
will assume that there may also be ETs on the ground nearby
or among the observing group. Although a craft or ETs may be
observed at any time by someone skilled at remote viewing
techniques, we will deal here with phenomena observed more
typically with the "usual" senses. The use of slightly
out-of-focus or "soft eyes" will often aid in seeing.
Different observers will observe some, none, or all of the
following. Seeing with both your physical eyes and the mind
requires practice. If the craft is close to the crossing
point of light there may be "bleed through" and the craft
may be partially visible, or perhaps just a sparkling is
apparent to some. This sometimes appears as a faint glow or
even a scintillating full form of a ship. Craft may appear
either whitish or in soft colors. Keep in mind that craft
may also become totally visible to everyone on the team.
Both types of phenomena have been observed numerous times by
CSETI field teams. During an event, members of the group may
sense or observe some, none, or all of the following: A
sense of body warming. A sense there is an increase in the
surrounding temperature. An apparent change in atmospheric
pressure, which can be felt in observers' ears. A decrease
in wind - a stillness or quietness feeling perhaps leading
to the feeling of warming mentioned above. Body vibrations
from barely detectable to full-out shaking. Hair on head,
arms or legs stands up (pilo erection) Sounds including:
buzzing, humming, clicking, or strange, otherworldly
screeching (sometimes heard by only some of the observers).
Radar detectors setting off for no obvious reasons. Animals
in the area will respond with howling, barking, etc. Animals
will often respond to ET presence before humans are aware of
it. Scents or smells including ozone and flowers scents such
as violets, roses, carnations, sage, etc. Emotional feelings
especially that of warmth and love, sometimes so strong that
people are moved to tears. If ETs are on the ground nearby
or among the CSETI team, which has happened many times, the
following additional phenomena have been observed: Shuffling
sounds on gravel or rustling branches, leaves, or grasses.
Strange breathing or coughing sounds. Soft and gentle
touches.
Sparkling lights moving around and within the group. The
lights can appear as small probes or as vertical forms or
shapes of light often greenish or white. When a bare hand is
moved though the light forms the hand will sparkle as though
there was an electrical discharge The appearance of the ETs
may range from just areas of faint sparkly light to
indistinct shapes to fully visible entities with clothing,
facial features, and hands, etc. all fully distinguishable.
It should be noted that different people will see the ETs
very differently, even when the people are standing beside
each other, so that some report seeing nothing, others a
slight shimmering or shadows, and others can describe the ET
in detail. Often however, what is observed is just dark or
fuzzy forms near the group as described by this team member
observing in a small group in Sedona. "We had been visiting
for about an hour when I noticed a fairly tall form to the
right of the tree . It was upright and the same shade as the
tree. I kept having a running conversation with myself that
went, "Is that part of the tree or is that a life form" and
"It really looks familiar but it can’t be a life form, so it
must be part of the tree." It didn’t move, but I kept an eye
on it. I have no idea why I didn’t tell the others what I
was seeing." She later described: "We decided to call it a
night and started to pack up at which point I looked to see
if the form by the tree was still there - it was gone.
I stood in the spot where I had seen
the form and estimated that it must have been at least six
to seven feet tall." She added that she has seen this type
of very tall form at least four other times. If the ETs are
being "projected" into the area and a person walks into the
projection area or "energy field", there is a distinct
feeling of soft pleasant warmth as one passes into the
"field". Interactions between ETs and individual group
members range from just a sense of presence to loving
personal acknowledgement to full telepathic conversations.
The sense of love is almost always present, no matter the
level of the interaction, and is truly wonderful and
unforgettable. The conversations are typically non-verbal.
Field observers have reported shimmering-light ETs that have
stood in front of them or sat at (on) their feet for
prolonged times. The ground around the group may appear
colored such as emerald green or red. Some observers have
noted complex geometric shapes and forms or beautiful
unusual pictures while interacting with the ETs. These
colors, forms, pictures may occur with the observers eyes
both open in the "soft eyes" mode or closed. One observer
described the experience as though the ETs were sharing
beautiful art with him. If the field team has been
surrounded by a craft, partially in the ground and partially
above, members can sometimes see structural parts of the
interior of the ship depending on how visible the ETs make
it and the persons ability to ‘see’. This is when there is a
feeling of quiet, warmth, the star fields may appear to
distort and there is often a strange sense of time
distortion. Often when the craft leaves there is a distinct
brightening around the group. Some or all the above
interactions may also occur in this situation and when they
do, it is truly a wonderful "out of this world" experience.
Group members may bi-locate:In England in 1998, seven
people sitting in a circle in a pasture were engulfed by a
craft. The air became still, as though the wind were
blocked, the temperature rose 10-15 degrees, and many ETs
were perceived among the group of people. While remaining
ever conscious of sitting in the pasture, the group was also
conscious of looking down at Earth from space (through a
window in the bottom of the craft) and joining the ETs in a
meditation for the healing of the planet.
Other "Strangeness" Happenings added by Tony Craddock
These happenings by themselves appear as isolated "funny
things that happened to me the other day while out observing
or at home " yet taken as a group they may indicate some
sort of interaction or communication by someone with perhaps
a sense of humor. This is just a sample of some of the types
of things that have happened. Randy’s flashlight being
disassembled in his lap during CTS and the pieces scattered
round him and his sleeping bag. The ETs insistence in
locking Pat’s door on my car. Being a Metro, it is 100%
mechanical. We were at the jobsite a couple of weeks ago,
and she heard a click as it was locked once again while she
was standing next to it. Doors were locked and interior
lights were turned on SG’s car while we were in Hawaii.
Smells. After the last night at Sedona had an overpowering
smell of sage in my room all night (no, it was not toilet
freshener!). C. being on-line the day after a fieldtrip, her
phone rings, and she carries on a conversation while still
logged on to the Internet.....she only has one phone line,
and it is not dedicated. Washing machines, dryers turning
themselves on, and their doors being left open (C.)
Microwaves turning on. VCRs turning on and off and locking
up. Squawking noises being broadcast thru pocket dictaphone,
and machine locking up. Logged on to Internet, and while in
Quicken, program skips to an entry two years back and
highlights a check written to someone whose name Pat was
trying to remember....of course this could also have been a
mental feat. Pieces of toilet paper appearing to flutter
around the sky in the dark of night (of course this could
have been toilet paper if the night was windy!) Being
touched onsite or having a sleeve tugged. Having pictograms
beamed into your head - half inside, half outside, the
bedroom pulsating with light visible with eyes open and
closed........AJC. SG sees UFO while we are chatting on the
phone.
