Gree.,:, ~- • National Security Implications of the UFO/ETI Subject: A Brief Summary National Security Implications of the UFO/ETI subject are profound and far-reaching, albeit currently largely unrecognized. These implications may be considered in separate but related aspects: those intrinsic to ET activity and those arising from current covert management of the issue. Historical Background: Early National Security considerations dealt with concern over public panic arising from the detection of near earth and earth-landed extraterrestrial spacecraft (ETS)and from the technological implications of advanced Extraterrestrial material as it may impact the arms race and cold war. Additional concerns were related to the impact on religious belief systems, the political order and economic systems. Importantly, once actual ETS were retrieved in 194 7, thereby allowing Extraterrestrial hardware to be studied and back-engineered for possible human military applications, the need for complete secrecy regarding the matter was deemed paramount by authorities at that time. Given the tensions of the early atomic era and the mounting 'cold war' with the USSR. it is understandable that th e introduction of Extraterrestrial technology was thought to be destabilizing to an already dangerous situation. Moreover, given the history of technological secrets related to atomic and hydrogen weapons being stolen by agents of the USSR, there was understandable concern that any technological breakthrough related to Extraterrestrial technology might find its way into Soviet hands. If such an event enabled the USSR to produce actual military applications before the US, obviously this would have placed the US military capability in a potentially catastrophic disadvantage. Since the I 970's, we have reason to believe that a degree of cooperation on this matter has evolved with the USSR and the US and perhaps other nations. Certainly the end of the cold war has lar gely removed earlier concerns vis a vis technological breakthroughs and the fear of Soviet aggression. Moreover, the psychological reasons for secrecy related to public panic are not valid today. At least 5 7% of the population accept that UFOs are real and are of Extraterrestrial origin. And 30- 40 years of space exploration by human society has prepared the population for the possible existence of other Extraterrestrial civilizations capable of space travel. In short, the previous concerns motivating secrecy are not relevant today. Intrinsically, there is no reason to believe that the Extraterrestrial presence poses a threat to the national or world security. If hostility and aggression were related to their purpose here, it is likely that events congruent with hostility would have transpired long before now. It is our assessment that the Extraterrestrials are not hostile, but are very concerned with human capability related to warfare and the militarization of space. Activity by Extraterrestrial assets related to the neutralization of ICBM facilities and to containing military oriented space exploration should be understood in light of their concern over a known history of human aggression which has been coupled with the advent of weapons of mass destruction and space exploration. Indeed, given the past history of human military assets focusing on and pursuing Extraterrestrial Spacecraft, we believe the Extraterrestrials have responded with remarkable restraint. Ironically, the threat to national security exists not with the Extraterrestrial presence, but the current covert management of the subject. In the absence of Extraterrestrial hostility over 50 ~ current secrecy cannot be justified on the basis of fear of Extraterrestrial aggression. A disclosure related to the Extraterrestrial presence, if calmly and rationally presented, will not cause public panic in the US or elsewhere. 1995 is not 1945, and world society has evolved to the point where this information can be assimilated in a positive fashion. In contrast, the covert and apparently extra-constitutional management of this matter is a real threat to national and world security, and undermines constitutional freedom and democracy. Unless it is terminated, this covert management will greatly harm US national security and the chances of a lasting world peace. It is our assessment that the current covert management of this issue involves the following elements which are a direct, immediate and ongoing threat to the national security: l . The continued denial of the Extraterrestrial presence creates a situation where a sudden, undeniable, public Extraterrestrial event could induce panic, since proactive disclosure efforts which could ameliorate public fears are non-existent. It is likely that such a public Extraterrestrial event will transpire within the next 2-10 years or sooner. Therefore secrecy and denial are a real threat to national and world security. 2. The current covert management of this issue appears to be operating independentJy and outside of the constitutional chain of command. The group controlling these operations, which involve reconnaissance, Extraterrestrial technology reverse-engineering, and space - based targeting of ETS (among others) is non-responsive to congressional or Executive branch oversight and control. This constitutes a real threat to the national security and to constitutional democracy and freedom. 3. We have credible, first hand sources who insist that extraterrestrial spacecraft have been targeted by human covert space weapons and on at least two occasions have been destroyed. If true, the risks to world peace and security are real and imminent, and the continuation of these covert activities constitute the gravest dangers to national and world security . Hostile actions taken by human covert assets against Extraterrestrial assets constitute a grave and immediate threat to the national security. A relatively small, covert entity, acting without consultation with the United Nations, the Congress, the Pre sident of the United States or the public is engaging in actions on behalf of all humans which endanger the earth and world peace. Unless controlled, these actions could precipitate interplanetary conflict and a disaster for the world generally and the United States specifically. This covert management must be terminated and control of this issue returned to constitutional authority and to the public domain. ' 4. The concentration of the technological advances related to the reverse-engineering of Extraterrestrial technology into the hands of a small covert operation constitutes a threat to the national security, to world security and to the future of the earth. These Extraterrestrial technologies, which have been the object of covert research and development for over 45 years, are potentially of great benefit to humanity if used wisely for peaceful purposes, but are of immense danger when concentrated into a small covert operation which is unresponsive to the pubic or the legal and constitutional chain of command. The threat this poses to the US and world security is great, and the longer this situation continues, the greater the concentration of advanced technological power in the hands of a relative few. The secret control of such powerful technologies is inherently a threat to freedom, democracy and to our nation and the world. Its utilization for covert agendas outside constitutional control represents a grave danger to our country and must be restrained and reversed. 5. Importantly, secrecy and covert operatives per se constitute a real threat to the national security, since national security in a constitutional democracy can only be legitimately related to freedom and democratic government. Only in very rare and well-justified circumstances can extreme secrecy and covert operations exist, since by nature freedom and democracy cannot co- exist with unrestrained secrecy and secret power. The profound implications of the detection of Extraterrestrial civilizations cannot be allowed to be the exclusive domain of covert operations which are unrelated to public discourse and consultation. To do so is to undermine the US Constitution, democracy and freedom, and this constitutes a serious threat to the national security. 6. Finally, exclusive covert control of this matter has resulted and continues to result in the loss of opportunity for the world to come to terms with the Extraterrestrial presence in a peaceful and mutually beneficial fashion. This means that the people of the world, the United Nations and other international and national institutions are deprived of the opportunity to deal rationally with this issue. National and world security are therefore negatively impacted by the loss of opportunities in the following areas: > The Environment, which is seriously at risk for large scale collapse over the next I 00 years, would be profoundly improved if extraterrestrial technologies could be peacefully deployed. So-called zero point or free energy systems, which are non-polluting, would permit a sustainable technological civilization to exist on earth and would transform the earth environmentally and economically. Establishing peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with extraterrestrial civilizations would eventually permit us to understand and apply such technologies. > World unity and peace will be enhanced by the global realization that we are not alone in the universe. The acknowledgement of this fact will enhance the awareness that we are really one people living on the shared homeland of earth, and many of the conflicts currently afflicting the earth will be seen in a new perspective. This can be achieved without either deifying or demonizing the extraterrestrial presence, but rather placing it in a fair, scientific and neutral light. Eventually, world peace and a significant enhancement in the current geopolitical situation may result from the disclosure that we are not alone. An international infrastructure, and institutions capable of dealing peacefully with relations with extraterrestrial civilizations would, of necessity, evolve, and this in turn would strengthen world unity and cooperation. l >World culture, ideas, science and many other diverse areas may benefit through the development of peaceful relations with other worlds. While this process may take decades, if not centuries, its delay only puts off the rime when the people of the earth will be united not only globally, but with other planetary civilizations as well. In summary, it is imperative to the national security that the President and Congress undertake measures to terminate the secret, covert management of the UFO/ETI subject. Failure to place this matter in open, public discourse and control constitutes the gravest failure of democracy and government in the history of the world. That we do this is the test of our faith in democracy and our faith in the people. As the 21st century approaches, we must roll up the cancerous excesses of secrecy which are the legacy of the cold war and unfurl a new era wherein democracy is reaffirmed and a lasting world peace is given a chance. Steven M . Greer, MD International Director of CSETI 30 August 1995 END BRIEFING copyright Steven M. Greer, MD 30 August 1995 CSETI COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT SUMMARY ■ Recent worldwide trends of increasing extraterrestrial activity, coupled with significant advancement in CSETI research results, suggest that imminent extraterrestrial events and CSETI initiatives will soon overtake current government policy on this issue. It is recommended that governments worldwide review and change existing policy to one of increasing openness, disclosure and cooperation with civilian research teams. (See section IV on Strategies and Rationale for Changing Government Policy). ■ Some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft (ETS) which are piloted by extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) who originate on another planet, and most likely another star system. ■ More than one extraterrestrial civilization is represented in the current activities involving earth. ■ These extraterrestrial civilizations are working in concert and not competitively, although there is some specialization in function and activities for the various groups. This indicates that there exists either an emerging or well-established organization for these groups. ■ These beings have bases within this solar system and may maintain temporary bases on earth, particularly under water. ■ The variety in sizes and shapes of ETS observed is due to: • • varying civilizations of origin, and more importantly, specialization of function, which include general reconnaissance, medical research and intelligence, earth environmental research, central command and base operations, energy generation and transfer, and human technology, military and space program research and reconnaissance. ■ Sudden and fully open contact with human civilization has been avoided because of a number of interrelated factors, including: • the need to avoid an untimely disruption of earth civilization including military, political, geopolitical, cultural, economic, technological and religious upheaval; • risks to their own civilization and "people" as well as overall mission, given human xenophobia and tendencies towards violent armed reactions; and L • Up to this time, such massive and open contact has not been necessary, and has not been consonant with their overall long-term mission and purpose. ■ A Plan is in place to allow for gradually broader and deeper contact with human society and individuals so that humans may become accustomed to the reality of other intelligent beings in the universe, and so that needed research and observation may take place on both sides. Limited but increasing opportunities for bilateral and human initiated contact will occur in the reasonably near future. ■ Sudden and large scale contact will occur only in the event of a significant worldwide emergency (manmade or natural). ■ While ET observation and interaction with earth is probably an ancient as opposed to purely modem phenomenon, the marked increase in activity coinciding with Wortd War 11 and the dawning of the "nuclear age" indicates that ETI are quite concerned about this transitional stage of human social evolution. ■ Extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) technology is strictly guarded by both ETI and human governmental agencies because of its potential for military applications which would greatly threaten wortd security. It is imperative that this technology not find significant human applications until such time as the earth is ready for it ■ The US government, at least at the level of a highly compartmentalized top secret group, has known about the reality of these ETS and their occupants since at least 1947. A strict secrecy has been maintained due to: • • • • Fear of public panic and social disruption; Security issues surrounding possible military and technology application of ETI technology, especially in the setting of a wortd beset with Cold War tensions and competing interests; Uncertainty and mistrust regarding ETI motives and intentions; Embarrassment and consternation over human military inability to secure world air space from repeated penetrations by ETS. ■ The U.S. government possesses several ETSs and the deceased bodies of several EBEs. ■ The nature of "reality" of these craft and these beings has been incorrectly characterized by some as belonging to "another dimension and reality" from this dimension. Unfortunately, these statements are made without fully considering what "this reality" is. A more correct understanding of this is that the Full Spectrum of Reality is a singular, integrated one which may be perceived wholly or in its various aspects, such perception being entirely dependent on the level of consciousness of the perceiver. The various aspects of "dimensions" of this reality, which are limitless in number, are not restricted to or by time and space as we know it commonly. These beings and their craft belong to the same Reality as humans, however, their advancement in the realms of physical science and the science of consciousness has given them competence in a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality than is usually e)'.Cperienced by humans. The difference, then, is one of degree and not fundamental reality, since humans potentially have access to all aspects of the Full Spectrum of Reality just as extraterrestrial beings do. These differences are not insurmountable, nor are they truly fundamental; in fact they are relative and only temporary. While these beings are utilizing and experiencing a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality, so too can and will humans, for we are as "inter-dimensional" by nature as they. ■ ETS energy and "propulsion" systems utilize principles and laws of the physical universe not yet fully appreciated by human science, and may include: • • • • Gravity/anti-gravity and electromagnetic/gravity technology; Space energy and so-called hyperdimensional energy systems; Matter-energy interchangeable technologies; and Possible Consciousness Assisted Technology (CAT) and Technology Assisted Consciousness (TAC). ■ Some, if not all, EBEs have advanced mental capabilities which include telepathy, precognition, remote viewing and others, indicating that they have developed the "science of consciousness" to a degree which parallels or surpasses their advanced physical technologies. Humans also possess these capabilities, but these remain largely undeveloped by most humans. ■ EBEs are more developed or advanced than humans in a number of respects, but are not superior to humans as beings. Our point of unity and equality with EBEs is in our mutual existence as conscious intelligent beings. While these various EBEs may have values and priorities which are different from those of some 20th century humans, their motives and ultimate intentions are non- hostile and do not include the acquisition or subjugation of the earth and its peoples. ■ The establishing of a lasting world peace and a just and effective world government is essential to the long-term ETI-Human relationship. I. Implications of an Extraterrestrial Disclosure copyright 1996 Steven M . Greer M .D . In a recent conversation with a retired Air Force General, we were discussing a major disclosure on the existence of extraterrestrial !if e forms. This gentleman, who had known the UFOs were real and were extraterrestrial in origin since 1946, asked me, "But Steve, what would a disclosure mean." It was clear to me that he had real uncertainty regarding the implications of such a disclosure, even though the general was wholly in favor of the truth coming out now. And it occurred to me that we very much needed to elaborate, to the extent possible, what the implications of disclosure would be to humanity. We needed to 'connect the dots', and draw as broad a picture as possible, no matter how tentative it may seem. Because what may be obvious to some may be hidden to others. For nearly three years, I have been having this discussion with national security think tanks, business leaders, CIA officials, UN figures and various world leaders. It is time to put some of these ideas down on paper, at least as a starting point. We need to begin contemplating a future which includes the existence of extraterrestrial life forms, and the early stages of inter-planetary relations. Lest the more pragmatic among us question the timeliness of such a discussion, let me state here unequivocally that we are about 50 years late in this deliberation. For half a century , it has been known that we are not alone.and the long-delayed discussion of the meaning and implications of contact with advanced extraterrestrial civilizations is long over-due, not premature. But before any such discussion can begin, we must first consider the nature, atmosphere and framework of a disclosure: The implications are very different if the disclosure is militaristic, alarmist, xenophobic and frightening, versus one which is calm, scientific, evidence driven and hopeful. That is, the message, images, framework and atmosphere surrounding a disclosure will largely determine its immediate implications. A disclosure can be one of the greatest galvanizing and transcendent moments in human history, if handled wisely -or it can be terror in the aisles. Given current media, entertainment and UFO subculture treatment of the subject, there is reason for concern here. Because if this disclosure is in any way linked to the mind-set of space invaders, 'victims of alien abduction' and other disinformation, paranoid or fantasy-driven perspectives, then we are in real trouble. However, the CSETI Project Starlight disclosure effort is aimed 180 degrees away from such xenophobic concepts, and envisions a rational, evidence-driven event which will simply convey the following: l >That there is substantial scientific and witness evidence fo r the e"istence of ET life forms in proximity to the earth; >That, while the specific motives of these life forms may not be totally understood, there is no evidence that they are hostile.and that there is no reason for fear or alarm; and > The world community needs to move in the direction of open discussion on this matter and take constructive steps to ensure a peaceful, sustainable relationship with these life forms. Of course, this sounds simple, but we are competing with the fear-mongoring and paranoic leanings of the pop culture. Nevertheless, the prevailing madness in the media and entertainment fields should not be allowed to deter us from a disclosure of the simple truth that we are not alone. But we must be prepared to calmly distance this disclosure from the histrionics of those who would have us scream ' the sky is falling .. .' The remaining discussions, then, will assume a framework of disclosure which is calm, scientific and hopeful. And regardless of the immediate din of alarmist proclamations from certain quarters, there will be fundamental implications which will be the focus of our deliberations here.These implications are really so profound and far-reaching, that no aspect of life on earth will remain unaffected. From theology to technology, from geopolitics to economics, from the environment to the future e"Ploration of space, nearly every field of human endeavor will eventually be touched by such a disclosure. IMMEDIATE IMPLICATIONS The near-term implications of a high-level disclosure on the existence of extraterrestrial life forms range from the geo-political to the philosophical. The most pronounced immediate effect of such a disclosure will be that of altering the fundamental paradigm of how we view ourselves, the world of humanity and the universe. While the full effect of this will take some decades, if not centuries, to manifest fully, there will be an immed iate realization that we are really all one people on the homeland of earth, among many worlds inhabited by other intelligent life forms. This realization will alter not only our view of ourselves and the earth, but I believe it will impact on the current state of geopolitical fractionation. In the post-Cold War era, the world is becoming increasingly 'balkanized', precisely at the time when one would hope for increasing world unity and coherence. The definitive disclosure that we are not alone in the universe, and that, more importantly, these advanced life forms are landing on terra firma, will provide significant impetus to the as-yet incomplete process of forming a truly global civilization. This disclosure will complete the galvanizing effect which the space program provided as it sent back to the earth photographs of this beautiful blue sphere floating in space, which we all call home. As the global community contemplates the immediate and future reality of earth coming into contact with other advanced civilizations, all of the usual preoccupations with the endless internecine battles among nations and peoples on earth will suddenly appear in quite a different light. The differences and conflicts between various racial , religious, ethnic and national identities will be seen in a new perspective as we begin to contemplate the reality of earth evolving into an inter-planetary civilization. The world will rapidly quicken the pace of globalization and integration into a functional peaceful civilization. l -3- This can - and must - be done without either demonizing or deifying these extraterrestrial peoples. The ingrained xenophobic response of today and yesteryear will need to give way to a new paradigm motivated by hope, understanding and tolerance of diversity. Even the process of coming to grips with the post-disclosure reality of an extraterrestrial presence will force the world to evolve the moral, spiritual, psychological and physical capacity to effectively meet the challenges of the situation. So the immediate impact will include the rapid development of a functional global capability vis a vis an extraterrestrial presence. No single nation can achieve this; no superpower, however well-meaning, can think and act on behalf of the entire world as it adjusts to the early challenges of inter-planetary relations. This, then, will provide both the practical and philosophical setting for the development of a world civilization. While people will no doubt retain their various national, ethnic and religious identities, there will be added to these the over-arching identity of being 'from earth'. Beyond this, an awareness will grow that , indeed, all conscious, intelligent life forms have in common the intangible but real link of awareness, of consciousness, and the early stages of universal 'citizenship' will dawn. That is, we will experience, first inwardly and later in practical life, the awareness of the universality of life. This theme could, no doubt fill an entire book, if not several volumes of books. But in the interest of time, let us look at other immediate implications: > Governments around the world will immediately be affected in several inter-related ways. There will be an examination of covert, previously unacknowledged 'black' projects in the military/intelligence/industrial sector, and these projects will be moved back to the public domain and to conventional oversight and control. Currently, these projects officially 'do not exist', and as such constitute a serious threat to governmental integrity, especially in constitutional democracies such as the United States. A disclosure will set in motion governmental and social pressures to restore constitutional chain of command and control over this matter, and senior government leaders will no longer be able to avoid responsibility for this issue by claiming 'plausible deniability'. In short, this disclosure on the existence of extraterrestrial life forms in proximity to the earth will reverse the excesses of secrecy which developed in the post World War Il era and Cold War. >Academic, scientific and governmental institutions and agencies will quickly focus on the meaning, implications and requirements of a newly ordered global paradigm, which suddenly includes the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations visiting earth. From international policy 'think-tanks', to various academies of science around the world, this issue will become a prime focus of discussion, study and debate. In an academic sense, no field of study will be untouched by such a disclosure: History, anthropology, philosophy, geopolitics, exo-biology, theology, philosophy, the arts, science and technology, business and economics - all will be immediately galvanized by and preoccupied with such a disclosure. The vast and profound implications inherent to the fact that we are not alone in the universe, and are already being visited by advanced extraterrestrial life forms will indeed be of unparalleled significance in the history of the human species. >Theological and philosophical implications will immediately be discussed among the world's religions and religious leaders, as they come to terms with a universe in which humans are no longer the only intelligent, sentient children of God. In this respect, concepts of God, creation, life and religious meaning will evolve in the direction of accommodating the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and this will cause an increasing' universalization' of God and religious meaning. Additionally, there will likely be an unfortunate yet predictable reactionary segment from various religions around the world which will place such a disclosure into a strictly eschatological framework, or worse. Already, among fringe elements in the civilian sector, we see attempts to either demonize or deify these extraterrestrial visitors ( many of these reactions are reminiscent of the movie 'The Gods Must Be Crazy'). Nevertheless, such reactivity and fanaticism, while predictable, will eventually give way to a more reasoned and mature response and the world's religions will adopt an understanding of intelligent life which is universal, and which will, I believe, redound to the appreciation of an infinite Creator whose glory is not confined to the earth. INTERMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS The length and scope of this paper obviously does not permit a thorough analysis of the immediate ramifications of such a disclosure, how much less the intermediate and long-term implications. However, it is important to review a few of the highlights of these more distant implications, because it is here that we will see a literal transformation of human society. This cannot be appreciated fully, however, without also appreciating a central fact of the past 50 years of UFO/ET secrecy: That covert human projects have possessed advanced extraterrestrial technologies and have been 'reverse-engineering' them for decades. This means that in the post- disclosure era, there will be the opportunity to eventually apply these technologies to the problems of human society. The elaboration of the mechanisms of advanced energy, propulsion, communications and other extraterrestrial technologies will have an extraordinary impact on current earth technologies, including energy generation, transportation, communications, education, manufacturing, medicine and more. Aside from our science, physics, mathematics and technology textbooks being rewritten, the practical applications of these technologies will completely transform the face of human society. There is, however, a disturbing side to this, and that is the long history of humans using every breakthrough in technology to build a better war machine. The proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction should give us some pause as we contemplate what the destructive uses of such advanced ET technologies might be. (Moreover, we should be quite concerned already about the implications of such technological breakthroughs resting in the hands of 'black' projects which do not answer to the people or the 'chain of command' mechanisms of government...)For this reason, it is extremely important that such applied technologies not be propagated until the world has established a more stable international setting and attained a lasting international peace. The pessimists and cynics will say that humans will never reach a state of stable international peace, but I hold the opposing view that we will, because we will have to. Humans have many faults and foibles, but when all is said and done, we are survivors -and adapt extraordinarily well to circumstances threatening our survival. Certainly, the current situation of weapons of mass destruction proliferating into the hands of every unstable dictatorship is such a circumstance. And while there may yet be disastrous consequences, these will only serve to galvanize humans into doing what must be done to survive:Adapt and evolve into a peaceful, stable global civilization. Putting this debate aside for now, let us contemplate a 'down-loading' of these advanced extraterrestrial technologies in a setting of international stability and peace. These technologies are not polluting fossil fuels or radioactive nuclear power, but are completely revolutionary energy systems which are non-linear, zero-point type technologies. That is, there is a background source of limitless energy which is omnipresent in the universe, even in deep space, and these devices 'tap into' this energy. The result is vast amounts of energy generated, and, in defiance of the 'law of thermodynamics', more energy is obtained than is put into the system . Without going into a long discussion of propulsion systems which propel vehicles at beyond the speed of light ( allegedly impossible according to 20th century physics) or of 'bending' space-time, or of negating the effects of gravity and mass inertia, or of non-linear communications systems which interface directly with mind or thought, or a myriad other considerations related to advanced ET technology, let us simply state that these technologies are many quanta ahead of current technology on earth. What are the implications of such technologies being applied around the world? > The Environment, which is being degraded at an alarming rate primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and the relative scarcity of energy, would be greatly assisted, if not saved by the widespread application of such technology. For the most part, the earth is still in the 1800s as far as energy generation, transportation and related technologies are concerned. The internal combustion engine reigns supreme, as does gas, oil and coal as sources of energy. Aside from being the chief sources of pollution of the air and water, their relative scarcity results in a further cost and efficiency related inability to 'scrub' other sources of pollution from waterways, chemical processing, manufacturing and the like. Such inefficiencies, scarcity and intrinsically polluting qualities of the current world energy system are literally killing the earth. The application of advanced ET energy systems would completely reverse this situation. >When it takes only minutes -instead of 12-14 hours -to go from asia to New York, the world will truly be a global village. Indeed, the need for vast, inefficient and dehumanizing metropolises will no longer exist, since both communications and transportation will allow small towns and villages to have access to each other instantly. This will result in a transformation in the nature and function of society unequaled in recorded history. > The relative scarcity of energy, and hence of resources generally, has resulted in a vast inequality among the poor and rich nations of the world. The application of these ET l technologies will alter this situation radically, and eventually abundance and an economic equilibrium will emerge. This will alter the world socio-economic situation and mitigate the economic pressures and inequalities which create so much strife and conflict in the world. With zero-point and related technologies in every village and every home, the consciousness of scarcity and a 'zero sum game' will give way to one of abundance. And with this, the human race will be freed from the oppressive mentality of material acquisitions and survival to a larger vision of developing the full potential of each human. >Public health and medical advances will result both directly and indirectly from these new technologies. For example, imagine a world where abundance of clean water and energy removes the specter of famine and disease from the entire earth. >Space exploration will be a viable possibility, since these energy and propulsion systems permit transport through space effectively at multiples of the speed of light. And with this, well the sky is the limit. Aside from these technological and environmental long-term implications, there are the long term implications related to the world coming to grips with the early and eventual mature stages of an open relationship with various extraterrestrial civilizations. What might be the effects of an open dialogue with advanced life forms on world culture, an, music, philosophy, science and so forth? Only when we have stopped lying to ourselves about the existence of these other civilizations and disclosed the truth can we move in the direction of a sustainable global and inter-planetary society. Volumes can -and no doubt will -be written on the meaning of contact with advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. But of this we are sure: The first step is to achieve an honest disclosure. The implications of this disclosure are truly world-encompassing and far reaching. Because today, we do not have a sustainable civilization on this planet, but one which is morally, technologically and socially moribund. And as the old Chinese proverb says, 'Unless we change directions, we are likely to end up where we are going ... ' Indeed, to borrow from Al Gore's book title, earth is in the balance. The evolution of a sustainable g lobal civilization, and the further development of the capacity to become an inter- planetary civilization, is dependent on an honest disclosure regarding the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, and our development into a peaceful world civilization. Only then can we enter an era of sustainable technology, a sustainable economy ,and a lasting culture, and take our place among the stars as members of a growing universal civilization. The Covert Organization Responsible for the UFO/ET Issue:PI-40 Last code name related to me by reliable sources: PI-40 Meaning of code &arae: Unknown Description: PI-40 is a quasi-governmental, USAPS related, quasi-private entity operating internationally/transnationally. The majority of operations are centered in private industrial 'work for others' contract projects related to the understanding and application of advanced extraterrestrial technologies. Related compartmentalized units, which are also USAPS, are involved in disinformation, public deception, active disinformation, so-called abductions and mutilations, reconnaissance and UFO tracking, space-based weapons systems, and specialized liaison groups (for example to media, political leaders, the scientific community, the corporate world etc). Think of this entity as a hybrid between government USAPS and private industry. PI-40 consists primarily of mid-level USAPS-related military and intelligence operatives, USAPS or black units within certain high-tech corporate entities, and select liaisons within the international policy analysis community, certain religious groups, the scientific community and the media, among others. The identities of some of these entities and individuals are known to us, though most remain unidentified. Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 or those comprising the decision-making body of PI-40 are now in favor of a public disclosure of some type on this matter; these are, in general, the younger members who have less complicity in past excesses. The remaining members are opposed or ambivalent regarding a near-term disclosure. Actual policy and decision-making seems to rest predominantly at this time in the private, civilian sector, as opposed to USAP-related military and intelligence officials, though some information indicates that there is significant relative autonomy in certain areas of operations. It is our current assessment that a rising degree of debate exists within Pl-40 regarding certain covert operations and the advisability of a disclosure. Many compartmentalized operations within 'black' or USAPS projects are structured so that those working on the task may be unaware that it is UFO/ET related. For example, some aspects of the so-called 'Star Wars' effort, or SDI. are intended to target extraterrestrial spacecraft which come into close proximity to earth, but the vast majority of scientists and workers in the SDI program are unaware of this. We have learned from three separate, corroborating sources that since the early 1990s, at least 2 extraterrestrial spacecraft have been targeted and destroyed by experimental space-based weapons systems. The vast majority of political leaders, including White House officials, military leaders, congressional leaders, UN leaders and other world leaders are not routinely briefed on this matter. { When and if inquiries are made, they are told nothing about the operations, nor is the existence of any operation confirmed to them. In general the nature of this covert entity ensures that such leaders do not even know to whom such inquiries should be addressed. International cooperation exists to a wide -extent, though some witnesses state that certain countries, particularly China, have aggressively pursued somewhat independent agendas. ' Major bases of operations, apart from widely diversified private sites, include Edwards Air Force Base in California, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, particularly S4 and adjacent facilities, Los Alamos New Mexico, Fort Huachuca Ariz.ona (Army Intelligence Headquarters), the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, and a relatively new, expanding underground facility accessible only by air in a remote area of Utah, among others. Additional facilities and operations centers exist in a number of other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Russia. Numerous agencies have deep cover, black, USAPS related units involved with these operations, including the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the National Security Agency (NSA), the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Air Force Intelligence, the FBI, and others. An even more extensive list of private, civilian and corporate entities have significant involvement. The majority of scientific, technical and advanced technology operations are centered in the civilian industrial and research firms. Significant -and lethal • security is provided by private contractors. The majority of personnel as well as the leadership of most if not all of these agencies and private groups are uninvolved and unaware of these compartmentalized. unacknowledged operations. For this reason, sweeping accusations related to any particular agency or corporate entity are wholly unwarranted. 'Plausible deniability ' exists at many levels. Moreover, specialization and compartmentalization allows a number of operations to exist without those involved knowing that their task is related to the UFO/ET subject. Both positive inducements to cooperate and penalties for violating secrecy are extraordinary. A senior military source has related to us that at least 10,000 people have received SI million or more each to ensure their cooperation, over the past few decades. Regarding penalti~. we know of more than one credible case where individuals have had their families threatened should they break the code of silence, and we have learned of two recent alleged 'suicides' at a private contract industrial firm which occurred after the victims began to violate secrecy on a reverse- engineering project related to ET technology. Funding: A senior congressional investigator has privately related to us that 'black budget' funds apparently are used for this and similar operations, which are USAPS. This 'black budget involves conservatively $10 billion , and may exceed $80 billion per year. The amount dedicated to the UFO/ET operation specifically is unknown at this time. Additionally, significant funds are derived from overseas sources and private and institutional sources. Amounts deriving from these activities are also unknown by us. This is part of what we know at this time. Obviously, there are more questions than answers here, and what is unknown exceeds what is known. Nevertheless, we have, I believe, made 1 significant and historic advances in understanding how this entity operates. I have presented this general assessment to a number of important military, political and policy institute figures, and was .surprised that it was regarded as quite accurate and in agreement with independent assessments arrived at separately by them. . But the larger question is why? As in life in general, the whats, whos and hows are always easier than the whys. Why the continued secrecy and deception? · I am reluctant to go too much further out on this limb, because here we get into questions related to ultimate motive and purpose, which is alwa ys a rather squishy area, ill -defined in the best of cases. And this, I am afraid, is no ordinary matter, and the emotions, motives and purpose behind such extraordinary and high-stakes actions are likely complex and dissonant. Indeed, such motives are likely a very mixed bag, ranging from the initially noble and well-intentioned, to the depraved. Sen. Barry Goldwati r told me in 1994 that the secrecy surrounding the ET subject was "a damn mistake then and a damn mistake now ... ". I am inclined to agree with the senator here, but the drive for secrecy was not and is not altogether rooted in stupidity. Rather, I see it rooted in fear and a lack of trust. While I generally dislike psycho-babble, I believe the psychology of all of this is important. It is my belief that secrecy, especially extreme secrecy of this degree, is always a symptom of illness. If you have secrets in your family, it is a sickness, born out of fear, insecurity and distrust. This, I feel, can be extended to communities, companies, and societies. Ultimately, the drive for secrecy is a symptom of a deeper malaise derived from a fundamental lack of trust, and an ~dance of fear and insecurity. In the case of UFOs/ET, the early days of the 1940s and 1950s were, I sense, a time of fear bordering on panic. We had just emerged from a devastating world war, and unleashed the horror of nuclear weapons. The USSR was expanding its empire, and arming itself to the teeth with bigger and deadlier nuclear weapons. And they were beating us in the race into spare. Now along comes extraterrestrial spacecraft. which are retrieved along with deceased (and one living) life form. Panic. Fear. Confusion. Countless unanswered questions arise, all tinged with fear. Why are they here? How will the public react? How can we secure their technology - and keep it from our mortal enemies? How can we tell the people that the most powerful air force in the world cannot control its airspace? What will happen to religious belief? To the Economic order? To Political stability? To the keepers of current technology? To .... It is my opinion that the early days of secrecy· were predictable, even understandable, and possibly even justifiable. But as the decades rolJed by.and especially with the end of the Cold War, fear alone does not fully explain the secrecy. After all, 1996 is not 1946 - we have been to space, landed on the l moon, detected planets around other star systems, found the building blocks of life in far-away space , and about 50% of the population believe the UFOs are real. And the soviet empire has collapsed. I believe two other significant factors are at play now: Greed and control, and the inertia of decades of secrecy. Greed and control are easily understood: Imagine being involved with a project unraveling and then applying advanced extraterrestrial technology. The power and economic impact -and thus value - of such technology exceeds the combined significance of the internal combustion engine, electricity, the computer chip and all forms of telecommunications. We are talking about the technology of the next millennium. You think the computer/information age revolution is big? Fasten your seat belts, because down the road - sooner or later - will be the non-linear, zero point technological revolutions based on advanced ET technologies. No wonder the corporate, military-indust.rial complex interest and secrecy exceeds even that of the government related USAPS. The formula for Coca Cola has nothing on this. The bureaucratic inertia of large secret operations is yet another matter. After decades of operations, and of lies, public deceptions and worse, how does such a group unravel all the webs it has weaved? There is a certain addictive allure to secret power for some types of people; they are charged by having and knowing secrets. And there is the specter of a sort of cosmic Watergate, with all manner of people calling for this head or that. It becomes easier to maintain the status quo, something all bureaucracies are adept at doing. And cw.en now there is fear. Not just fear of being exposed in the age of Watergate, this -gate and that-gate, but a rather xenophobic and primitive fear of the unknown. Who are these humanoids, why are they here~ how dare they enter our airspace without our permission! Humanity has a long tradition of fearing - and hating - that which is different, unknown, fr'>m elsewhere. Witness the still-rampant racial, ethnic, religious, and nationalistic prejudice and hatred which ravage the world of humanity. There is an almost ingrained xenophobic response to the unknown and that which is different. And it is cenain that the ETs are more different from us than, say, protestants are from catholics in Ireland I once asked a physicist involved with military and intelligence operations related to UFOs why we were attempting to destroy these spacecraft with advanced space-based weapons. He immediately became agitated and said, "Those cowboys running this thing are so arrogant, so out of control, that they view any entry by a UFO into our air space as an offense worthy of a hostile response. And they are going to get us into an inter-planetary conflict if we are not careful..." And so it goes. Fear. Fear of the unknown. Greed and control. Institutional Inertia. These are a few of what I see as the current animating forces driving the continue secrecy of PI-40. But where to from here? How to transform this situation from extreme secrecy to disclosure? l There is an old Chinese proverb which says, "Unless we change directions, we are likely to end up where we are going." How true. And where we are going in this area is immensely dangerous. Extreme secrecy, especially on something this far-reaching and important, undermines democracy, subverts the const itution, conc~ntrates enormous technological power in the hands of the unelected few and puts the entire planet in harms way. This must end. CSETI Project Starlight has been working for nearly 3 years to collect evidence, identify current and former government, military, intelligence and corporate witnesses, and brief various world leaders. Much has been accomplished, with no paid staff, no significant funding and the dedication and volunteer efforts of a persistent team. But much remains to be done. Here is a partial list: In June of 1995, we convened a meeting of important miliary and government witnesses from the US and Russia, and we all signed a letter asking President Clinton to issue an executive order permitting such witnesses to speak without penalty or retribution. I suggest that the Administration, in cooperation with Congress, sponsor open hearings where these witnes ses, who now number over 2 dozen, could openly testify to what they know about the UFO/ET matter. This would constitute a definitive disclosure, I assure you. In this regard, you can help in two ways: 1) Write the President and ask that he issue an executive order permitting these witnesses to safely come forward. and at the same time write your Senator and Congressman and request that they sponsor open hearings where these witnesses may speak. 2) Contact me immediately if you or someone you know may be a current or former government, military or corporate witness . We have protective measures in place, and the more witnesses we have, the stronger the case - and the greater the margin of safety for all concerned. Please help us if you can. The iatemational community and the United Nations should similarly hold open hearings on this matter. We have witnesses from all over the world. and ideally, an international disclosure and evidence gathering effort should begin immediately. The world community should not sit by passively, thus abdicating responsibility to secret operations. CSETI has for 5 years been involved in a citizens diplomacy effort, and made significant breakthroughs in developing protocols to contact these extraterrestrial visitors. Rather than passively watching this as some distant 'phenomenon', we should attempt to establish communication with these life forms. and begin the early stages of an open inter-planetary relationship. If you are interested in learning more about how you can be involved in such a research and diplomacy effort, contact us. Lastly, we must be prepared to forgive. There is nothing to be gained by calling for severe retribution for those involved with either current or past secrecy. Many may have felt they were doing the right thing at the time, and even currently. We do not need a cosmic Watergate,and we must collectively renounce it. We should be willing to look to the moment and to the future, and forgive the past. There is precedent for this: In the early days of the Clinton Administration, there were sweeping disclosures about past excesses and crazy experiments wi_thin the Department of Energy, and the former Atomic Energy Commission. We learned of plutonium being put on [ the oatmeal of kids in orphanages, of deliberate radiation releases in populated areas to see 'what would happen', and so forth. This truth came out, and the world did not end. Nobody had to go to jail. The government did not collapse, and the sky did not fall. Let us move forward, with some real compassion and forgiveness, and ~egin the next century anew. Ultimately, if the people will lead, the leaders will follow. Courage, vision and perseverance are needed to transform this situation, and create a time of openness, trust and to lay the foundation for both global and inter•planetary peace. If our leaders currently lack this courage and vision, then we must manifest it for them. The stakes are too high to look the other way while our future is stolen from us. The future of life on earth, and our place in the cosmos, are at risk. Together, let us work to secure it, for our children and our children's children. Steven M . Greer MD.

As set out in a number of documents and briefings (see enclosures) it is our intention to have these important wimesses provide open, p ublic testimony on this matter in the very near future. In the summer of 1995, we requested that the President take appropriate steps to allow these wimesses to speak openly, without civil, military or other penalties. Since then, there has been an exponential growth in the number of such witnesses who wish to come forward. Some of them are elderly, and suffering from serious medical conditions. We feel that these patriotic and courageous heros of our country -who very much wish to tell their fellow citizens the truth on this matter-must not take this information to their graves. Therefore, we are asking from you a clear determination regarding their freedom to speak openly on this subject. Over the past three years, we have found that members of Congress, the Executive Branch, military and intelligence leaders have not been briefed on this important matter, and that operations related to the subject exist as 'unacknowledged' special access projects. Most P.O. Box 15401, Asheville, NC 28813 -Phone: 704-27 4-5671 -Fax: 704-27 4-6766 [ operations exist in the private aspects of the military industrial sector, with apparently extra- constitutional funding and oversight. As such, and until established otherwise to our satisfaction, we regard these operations, and all so-called 'security oaths' derived from them, as illeg al, and therefore non-binding for these witnesses mentioned above. Therefore, UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY I JANUARY 1997, we will move forward with a series of events whereby these witnesses may provide open, public testimony. If we do not hear from you, or if we hear that you concur, we will proceed with a public disclosure after that date. Only if you notify us specifically that such witnesses to UFO/ETI related matters are still bound to silence will our plans for a disclosure by them be altered. As mentioned in previous briefings and documents to members of the Administration, the military, the Congress and others, it is our intent to effect this disclosure in a way which is scientific, forward looking and hopeful. It is not our intent to cause instability for our nation or the world, but , rather , to mitigate the clear dangers which current covert management of this issue presents. We invite your advice, assistance and support in this process of disclosure on a matter which is arguably the most important of the twentieth and early twenty first centuries. Testimony from these witnesses will include but not be limited to: >Retriev al of disabled extraterrestrial devices and extraterrestrial life forms >Reve..;e-engineering projects related to extraterrestrial technology >Reconnaissance and tracking of UFO/Extraterrestrial vehicles >Covert projects related to the subject >Confirmation of military/UFO encounter cases > The nature and scope of disinformation programs related to the subject We hope to hear from you regarding this matter as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this request for a determination on the status of these witnesses as it relates to providing public testimony during 1997. Respectfully, Steven M. Greer M.D. Director of CSETI Email: 103275. l472@compuserve.com enclosures [ EVALUATING THE VALIDITY OF NATIONAL SECURITY OATHS RELATED TO THE UFO/EXTRATERRESTRIAL SUBJECT copyright 1996 Steven M . Greer M.D . A number of first hand military, intelligence and government-associated witnesses to covert projects dealing with UFOs and Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) ha ve been identified by CSETI's Project Starlight effort. Over the past three years, we have located several dozen such potential witnesses as part of a comprehensive strategy to collect adequate evidence for a global, definitive disclosure on this subject. The story which these important government witnesses can tell will make a credible, undeniable case for the reality of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial life forms in proximity to the earth. One of the persistent obstacles to this testimony coming out into the public arena has been the issue of so-called national security oaths and restrictions placed on these witnesses. Some feel that they are not free to speak unless 'released' from these national security oaths and restrictions, and so we have been working to encourage Congress and the White House to take actions which would remove these restrictions. In the summer of 1995, a number of these witnesses gathered at a witnesses summit, and we all signed a letter to President Clinton asking him to take actions leading to the release of these restrictions. While receipt of this letter was acknowledged by a special assistant to the President, we still await specific action from the executive branch of the US government. With this said, it is important to visit the question of whether or not such national security oaths and restrictions are them selves legally valid. We have compelling witness testimony that the operations dealing with this subject currently exist, and have existed for several decades, outside of normal governmental projects. Me:.,bers of the Project Starlight Team have met with very senior members of the Administration, Congress, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA and other relevant government agency operatives. The picture which emerges from these discussions is that of an operation dealing with UFOs which is functioning outside of the normal channels of government, as it is usually considered. Indeed, we have found that the most senior levels of the executive branch, Congress, the military etc. are totally out of the loop on this extraordinary matter. This then brings up the sobering question of who is in the loop, and under what authorization are such projects operating? It is our assessment that for the large part, these operations do not fall under any constitutionally sanctioned avenues of authorization, and as such are, perforce, illegal. Aside from the lack of oversight and authorization from the executive branch and Congress, these operations have, from time to time, engaged in deceptive practices which have frustrated the organs of constitutionally legal inquiries and democratic processes. Any such operation which behaves in this fashion unilaterally removes itself from the inherent legality and protection which exists for projects which are consonant with constitutional law. This being the case (we are eager -nay, desperate-for someone to prove otherwise ... ) all of the so-called 'national security oaths' and other 'restrictions' placed on military, intelligence and government contract workers are null and void. That is, they appear to have no legal validity since the operations for which they were obtained are themselves illegal. In a constitutional democracy, it is a basic requirement of law that such operations be constitutionally legal, and if they are not, then all that flows from them - including such 'oaths'-are illegal and therefore non- binding. IF these operations are legal, nobody in the Congress, executive branch or senior military with whom we have spoken knows of it. The production of a single current executive order or congressional directive authorizing these projects, which can be independently verified, would convice us otherwise. More than one covert contact has told us that, indeed, any such witnesses can and should speak out at the right time and place since no legal entity would -or legally could - do anything about it. We agree. Beyond this, it is the legal, moral and patriotic duty of such witnesses to come together, and at the highest, best and most credible venue possible, speak out in unison regarding the truth on this matter. Granted, if only one or two such persons come forward, the case will be weak, and the risk will be unacceptable. But if ten, twenty or more such witnesses come together, and united, resolve to share their information and experiences on this subject, then a definitive case will be made , and a great service to the world and their country will be fulfilled. The return of this matter to the legal channels of government and the deliberation of the people is one of the great unfulfilled tasks of the post cold war era. Over half a decade has elapsed since the end of the cold war, and there can no longer be a justification (if there ever was) for this type of extraordinary secrecy and covert agenda. Both national and world security requires that this matter be returned to the world community as soon as possible. We recommend that men and women of vision, courage and dedication join with us in fulfilling this task. Far from being a legal violation of 'security oaths', the public testimony by such witnesses is a highly moral and legal act. Further, is it not true that the continuation of this secrecy itself is illegal and immoral, given the inherent unconstitutionality of such programs? Credible witnesses, joining together and providing their testimony in a united strategy can return this subject to legal oversight and control, and thereby enable the people of our country and of the world to begin the public deliberations which should have occurred 50 years ago. 21 October 1996 Steven M. Greer M.D. Director of CSETI PO Box 15401 Asheville NC 28813 704-274-5671; fax:704-274-6766; email: 103275. l 472@compuserve.com l POINTS SUPPORTING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO RELEASE WITNESSES FROM NATIONAL SECURITY OATHS AND TO DECLASSIFY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO UFOs/ETI > I. Such an Executive Order (EO) would permit witnesses to speak openly about the historical aspects of the subject without fear of legal action against them. If no substantive information is forthcoming from such witnesses, then at least the 'air would be cleared' on this issue, and if major disclosures are forthcoming then an end to inappropriate secrecy would be effected. > II. Should significant disclosures occur without an EO, the President would be viewed in one of two equally damaging ways: I If the President and Executive Branch of the US Government maintain that they did not know anything about a subject this important, Presidential stature and credibility would be significantly damaged. /If the President and Executive Branch maintain after such an unsanctioned di sclosure that they knew of the subject, but were not connected to the disclosures, the President may be accused of supporting a cover-up, which would be unfair in light of the actual facts of how this subject has been covertly handled. >ill. An EO would restore public faith in government in the long run, since such an order would be seen as an act of support of democratic principles, as opposed to the maintenance of the covert status quo. > IV. The EO would fully utilize the powers of the Presidency to terminate certain 'black projects' activities which appear to be operating out of the constitutional chain of command. While certain aspects of reverse engineering of extraterrestrial technology ( and other matters) may not be fully accessed through this EO, it would enable definitive witness testimony to be disclosed. Effons to keep the President, the Executive Branch in general and the Congress 'out of the loop' would thereby be neutralized. >V. Provided that the disclosure process (as conceived by Project Starlight) avoids xenophobic, fear-inducing and militaristic overtones, the EO would set events in motion which would usher in a new era of global awareness and unity. The world community could begin the long awaited dialogue on the implications and promises of initiating early interplanetary relations. > VI. In summary, the ri sks of not providing an Executive Order on this issue far outweigh the risks of doing so. The benefits of such an issuance are numerous and far-reaching, and would be viewed as a just and moral Presidential act by peoples around the world. 20 March 1995/ Steven M . Greer M .D., CSETI. STRATEGIES AND RATIONALE FOR CHANGING GOVERNMENT POLICY It is recommended that current government policy on UFOs/ETI be changed to one of increasing disclosure, openness, and cooperation with civilian researchers. Failure to effect a review and policy change within the next 12-24 months may result in significant unfortunate outcomes insofar as it is likely that both civilian research initiatives (e.g., CSETI RMIT research projects) and imminent extraterrestrial events will overtake current policy. A "window of opportunity" exists for the Administration to effect such a change. This unique window exists as the result of the confluence of two significant events: 1. The existing policy of secrecy exists, in part, because of justifiable concerns during the Cold War, which included the control of possible developments vis-a-vis extraterrestrial technology, as well as more general psychological and sociological concerns. The ending of the Cold War provides for a plausible rationale for changing current policy at this time, and would provide the current Administration with an excellent explanation for the public so that past secrecy could be justified, thereby minimizing any embarrassment to past administrations, or to career government, military, and intelligence employees. Since some time has already elapsed since the end of the Cold War, this rationale is highly time sensitive. 2. Since the Clinton Administration is less than one year old, the President, the Secretary of Defense the Director of Central Intelligence, the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other key government figures will have "plausible deniability" on this issue, so long as a policy change occurs in the first one to two years of the term. After that time, the Administration could be harmed by a late, uncontrolled disclosure since such an event would play to the public in one of two equally unacceptable ways: If the Administration claims ignorance on a subject this important, it will be accused of incompetence. And if the Administration admits to knowing about this subject, it will be subject to accusations of unwarranted secrecy, and possibly even "cover-up" by the media and public. At this point in time, the Administration would not be faulted for a one-to two-year delay in disclosure, and may even be viewed heroically by a majority of the American people, inasmuch as a majority of Americans already believe that UFOs are real and are most likely interplanetary craft. We believe that this "window" provides for an historic opportunity to change current policy and enter a new era of openness on this important subject. Beyond this, such a policy of openness, with the resulting disclosure of the exis\ .mce of extraterrestrial life, could be a wor1d unifying event which would serve the over-arching goal of world peace. Suddenly, the earth would indeed appear as one homeland inhabited by one people. In advance of any change in policy, and subsequent disclosures, we would advise a concerted effort to confidentially brief select world leaders, leaders in society (including media, religious, business and academic leaders) and scientific leaders. CSETI, in cooperation with other researchers and organizations, has already begun this process, and welcomes cooperative initiatives from the current Administration. Furthermore, it is our sincere desire that this matter be handled in such a way that neither the government of the United States nor world society in general will be harmed. We would like to extend our offer to help in this process to the fullest extent possible, and recommend that a dialogue on this subject proceed in a thoughtful yet somewhat urgent manner. We also recommend that the international community be encouraged to support and expand a worldwide diplomatic and research initiative to establish increasingly open contact between earth civilization and extraterrestrial civilizations. C SETI has already established such an initiative and is willing to work openly with the international community to advance this process. l CSETI HEAD~UARTERS AV~ CSETI ~-P.-~15401 AShEVILLE, NC 28813 ---- THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE CSETI SUMMARY OF POINTS REGARDING PROJECT STARLIGHT FOR THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Steven M. Greer, M.D. International Director P.02 ' SUMMARY OF POINTS REGARDING PROJECT STARLIGHT FOR THE CLINTON AOMINISTRA TION PROJECT STARLIGHT is a program spearheaded by CSETI (The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence} to educate world leadership and the world's population regarding the reality of UFOs/ET!. Key points include: s; It is our sincere intention to cooperate with the U.S. government, the United Nations, and other governments, and to conduct the briefing process and the Announcement so that neither the Administration nor the government in general is harmed. We invite active U.S . government participation in this process and feel that for a number of reasons it is in the best interests of the Administration to do so. ;: Project Starlight has commitments of assets, both evidential and in the form of key first-hand, credible witnesses to make an undeniable case for the extraterrestrial origin of these objects. These assets include day and nighttime videotape footage, photographs, radar tapes, pilot cases, landing trace cases, and the important testimony of former government and military officials from the U.S., Europe, and Russia who have knowledge of this subject, in several instances including knowledge of spacecraft wreckage and extraterrestrial bodies. These witnesses are willing to testify publicly before major media. .. ■ Project Starlight has access to and offers of cooperations from major media, both print and electronic. These are respected mainstream media sources, not "tabloid" type. ~ We are working with other leaders in society. here and abroad, who concur that now is the time to Change current government policy to one of increasing openness and disclosure of evidence on this subject. :; The ending of the Co!d War and the be~inning of a new Admi~istrati_on provides a unique ''window of opportunity' for such a change 1n policy and for the cooperative disclosure of evidence (See position paper "Strategies and Rationale for Ch~nging Government Policy''.} l . 2 a T~ :-educe the potential for a panic reaction in society. the Ann~uncement should be spearheaded by civilian researchers and scient_ists. A government announcement alone may appear abrupt and alarr..ing. a Failu:-e to effect a change in policy and to provide disclosure on this subject by the · · · may result in regrettable outcomes for the Adm!nistration because: 1. The window of opportunity will have been lost. insofar as the end of the Cold War would be a relatively distant event and the new President and his appointed officials would have lost the protective aspect of beir.: new to their responsibilities. 2. G~ven the current increasing trend in extraterrestrial activity and incrE:asingly successful CSETI attempts to establish contact with these spacecraft (See CSETI Briefing Document). there is a very high prob:ibility that a major UFO event of a publicly undeniable nature will tran:;>ire before the current President's tenn expires in January, 1997. A controlled and well thought out Announcement and disclosure of eviccnce is much preferred over an uncontrolled and surprising event. \Nhile the former, if handled wisely. could have a unifying and beneficial effect on humanity. the latter would very likely have a negative and very destabilizing effect. Therefore, the highest risks are associated with non-disclosure. 3. By 1995, re-election concerns and other factors would make this process of diselosure increasingly risky due to the competitive and divisive nature of political campaigns. 4. Other governments are moving in the direction of disclosure on this subject, and the Japanese government is funding and has plans t(? open a major museum on UFOs/ETI in 1996, before the current President's term expires. 5. Other civilian UFO groups who have a decidedly confrontative approach to the U.S. government are_ building a base of both congressional and grass roots support which may prove_ emba~ssl~g to the government and military in the U.S. In contrast, ProJect Starlight 1s committed to working cooperatively with the U.S. government and avoiding language or evidence which would be harmful or embarrassing. l . 3 6. There are other civilian groups which are framing this topic in ~!armist, xenophobic and potentially conflict-oriented ways which will i;:-ove harmful to wortd stability and to the world's "consciousness... This potentially harmful trend would be contained by Project Starlight, Which is committed to presenting this information in a scientific. non-alarming wnd hopeful manner. ~ We have learned that the other nations of the worfd are looking to the U.S. for leadership on this subject. Providing that leadership on a subject this important would strengthen the Administration's stature In u,e Post-Cold war era. ~ Insofar as a majority of Americans hold that UFOs are real and are ~robably interplanetary spacecraft, the President would be viewed in a positive, courageous and possibly even heroic light for cooperating with s:Jch an Announcement and briefing process. Similarly, the public would become convinced that a new era had truly begun where government could be trusted to tell the truth; such a perception could go a long way towards erasing the cynicism and mistrust which has developed since the assassination of Kennedy, the Vietnam War, Watergate and other scandals. It would certainly be convincing evidence that the Administration is sincere about building a "new covenant" with the people and would fulfill the promise of a new openness in government. Mr. Woolsey's comment on "Larry King Live" on November 30, 1993, that the Administration wished to "disclose historical material" in a spirit of new openness would be fulfilled by a cooperative relationship with Projed Starlight. ■ We are sincerely dedicated to fulfilling this project in a way which would be a positive event for humanity. We are acutely aware of the profound Implications this projed might have, both positive and negative, on humankind, in general, and on economic and other systems, in particular. and are therefore making all efforts to prevent a negative or alarmist tone from creeping into the message. U.S. govemment cooperation in this project would assist us in this goal, and specifically cou Id serve to calm the financial markets in the period of the Announcement. s: A major media project, plus a maj~r ea~t ~ast U.S. newseaper ~ill probably be completing large scale investigative reports on this subJect in the next 12 months. These projects, which are very high quality and l 4 credible, will be seen by millions and probably hundreds of millions of people. Along with Project Starlight, whieh will conduct briefings and an Announcement with or without government cooperation, this subjed, and the U.S. government's connection to it, will be known by a very la~e segment of the population. The Administration would be best served by positioning itself in a cooperative. open, disclosing manner during this process. To do otherwise would be to increase suspicion and mistrust of government in general and the Administration in particular. • Government cooperation and involvement with Project Star1ight would afford government valuable input into the process, content and timing of these events. A passive or non-cooperative stance would of course have the opposite effect. a In &ny case we do not desire, nor do we recommend, the disclosure of certain valid secret projects which are vital to national security or to future defense readiness, including projects at Nellis Air Force ease in area S4, v.mich apparently deal with reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology for human applications. !:-:-espective of the level of U.S. government involvement or cooperation, we wish to assure you that we intend to conduct this project in a way which wilt not harm the President. the military. the Govemment or the society in oenerat. However, due to the high likelihood of extraterrestrial-human i.1teractions in general, and extraterrestrial contact by CSETI research teams specifically, which may be imminent. we are committed to fulfilling this project within the coming year. Furthermore. we .are carefully and systematically thinking through what needs to. be included in an. exten.d.ed ~ffort that will assure that the response to this Announcement 1s positive ;:nd full of hope.

These include, but are not limited to: Induction of psychoelectronic CA-periences, mass psychological conditioning with false information, targeting of certain key leaders with individualized disinformation. and the staging of a false yet convincing extraterrestrial threat. Awareness of this by key policy makers would help minimiu the risk of unfortunate events resulting from policy decisions influenced unduly by this type of disinformation. Background: CSETI Project Starlight efforts directed towards the public confirmation of the detection of extraterrestrial life forms (see Briefing Document Draft) has resulted in our discovering a number of covert activities which may jeopardize decision making within the national and international security communities. Since some of these decision making processes may be adversely affected well in advance of a public announcement on this subject, we feel morally bound to issue this bricfmg to advise policy makers of certain risks. Failure by certain key policy makers ( especially the White House. the National Security Council • the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.N. Security Council) to compensate adequately for these risks could result in the adoption of policies and actions harmful to world security and to the future of interplanetary relations. This briefing is designed to provide information regarding specific disinformation processes and their related risks to national and international security. Overview: Disinformation is false information which is deliberately provided to groups or individuals for the purpose of obfuscating an issue, and/or effecting a specific psychological response (such as denial, disbelief, fear. ridicule etc). Covert attempts designed to roioimiu accurate knowledge of UFOs/ETI have used disinformation and psychological warfare techniques for over 40 years, and these techniques and related technologies have become increasingly ~ sophisticated and effective. especially since the l 960s. The most effective disinformation is information which is related to a truth. at least in part, but which is then embellished and deliberately distorted by combining disinformation with the information. The presence of a minimal but adequate degree of truth enables the false information to be more readily accepted. or for the intended psychological response to occur. Disinformation may be divided into two broad categories: Passive Disinformation,which is false information placed into individual or public awareness via conventional communication means; and Active Disinformatio~ which involve false experiences which are induced and which result in a very sophisticated manipulation of individual and group ~ectives and experiences. '- 2 Passive Disinformation Examples: Denial of UFO reports; providing false data concerning UFO events; engaging certain scientists or authorities to ridicule the subject matter and its proponents; false, misleading or slanderous information about UFO researchers and oreaniz;,tions; providing · information to the public which induces fear, denial, skepticism or repulsion, etc. Active Disinformation Examples: Hoaxing of cenain events to entrap or embarrass researchers or organizations; use of active psychoelectronic devices to induce false but very convincing experiences which are designed to control individual and public attitudes towards E"n (abduc_tions); use of technologies to simulate:a false extraterrestrial hostile action, to affect both policy makers and the genera! public. Early covert operations relied primarily on passive disinformation. However, as more evidence of ETI activity made its way into the public domain and awareness, in the 1960s or '70s, active disinformation began to play a more dominant role. Most of the active disinformation currently in use is designed to : 1. Create a scenario which induces fear or rejection of the phenomenon 2. Bury real UFO/ET! activity under a mountain of superficially similar yet qualitatively different false events, especially so-called abductions and 'cattle mutilations'. 3. Influence public perception and governmental policy makers to conclude (falsely) that there is an "extraterrestrial threat" which we must fight Active disinformation has become more effective as increasingly sophisticated technologies have been developed and perfected in the U.S. and former USSR. Covert special operations, funded by 'black budget' and private sources, have effectively dominated and polluted the data base in two popular areas: 1. Abductions - Alleged abductions of humans by UFOs have been reported since the 1960s. We doubt that 'abductions' as they are currently understood are actually occurring. but that a very small number of people have been taken on board ET craft for reasons not yet fully known. However, no evidence exists to suggest that such events are harmful or of a hostile nature. Unfortunately, like a true gold nugget hidden under a mountain of fools gold, the real on board cases have been buried beneath a large volume of human induced pseudo-abduction events, designed to hide the real events under the cover of false ones, and to affect negatively public perception and credibility of the phenomenon. These events are being induced by advanced psychoelectronic technologies which can remotely target an individual or more than one person and create a convincing but false ET experience. The existence of psychoelectronic and other technologies has been con!:irmed to us by certain military, intellige:1ce and high technology sources who contract wi:h government agencies. These psychoelectronic devices are much more advanced and operational than most would imagine, and have gone through several generations of evolution and improv~ment (See The · Controllers:A New Hypothesis of Alien Abduction by Martin qinnon, and enclosed bibliography) . . ' ' 3 Policy makers must not be deceived by these reports, nor should policy making be influenced in any way by them. Si.c:e t!:e c:.:a base is hopelessly co11taminated by the:;;: falsely induced events. • it cannot be relied on as a source of reliable information for policy formulation. We have learned that a number of researchers in this area have similarly concluded that most (80.90% or more) of abduction accounts are disinformation, or misidentification of other unusual phenomena. 2. Cattle 'mutilations' : Alleged cattle experiments by ET craft (misnamed 'mutilations' for disinformation purposes) have been reponed since the 1960s. The primary scientists and researchers in this area have confirmed to us that at least 80% of these cases are actually decoy cases created by covert operations and have nothing to do with UFO/ETI activity. Our assessment is that the real cases are understandable environmental and genetic research related to radiation ~d chemical pol!ution and their effect on advanced mammalian systems. We would seriously doubt a sinister or hostile motive behind these relatively rare actual occurrences, and feel that the false decoy cases ue designed to create disinformation, to conceal the actual cases and to create an atmosphere of fe;u-around the subject. Policy makers should not be adversely influenced by these reports, or deceived by them in any way. Policy makers need to be aware of the potential for advanced technological active disinformation. both as it affects data bases and as it could potentially be targeted towards policy makers themselves. We would caution against undue fear in this regard • but do feel that senior policy makers should be aware of the r,otential for this type of disinformation and how it could be directed at them. which include both active and passive targeting. Simulated ET Events: We have also learned that technologies exist to support the simulation of false hostile ET events, designed specifically to influence policy makers in a time of crisis, or to 'spin' any announcement and disclosure process in the direction of uniting the world against a 'common alien threat' . Military and civilian policy makers must not be deceived by such events, since the stakes are enormous. and decisions based on such pseudo-UFO events would likely result in negative actions which would be unwarranted. The vast and profound implications of our future relations with extraterrestrial civilizations must not be influenced by this type of disinformation, since it would be designed to place the earth on a path of inter-planetary conflict and would subvert the potential for future peaceful and beneficial relations. In summary, a number of advanced disinformation modalities exist which policy makers need to take into consideration as they evaluate dala or receive briefings from traditionally covert sources. CSETI and its affiliated scientists and researchers are committed to obtaining reliable data by way of direct, real time observation of and interaction with the ETI phenomenon. We feel that empirical research of this type (see Briefing Document Draft) is more useful, accurate and reliable than other secondary means which are prone to disinformation contamination. Should you wish to make further inquiries into the CSETI research findings or assessment, please feel free to cont.a.ct the Director of CSETI. Steven M Greer MD. at 704-274-5671. We are available to you to provide a confidential on-site briefing regarding this subject if this. is desired. END BRIEFING . , , BRIEF SUMMARY OF CSETI RESEARCH RESULTS A. Mexico January 30, 1993: On January 30, 1993, the RMIT was activated and sent to the volcanic zone outside of Mexico City, Mexico. Just before ·12:30 a.m., local time, on January 31, 1993, while engaging in CSETI protocols to vector extraterrestrial spacecraft into the site, the entire team was briefly engulfed in a beam of amber light, which originated in the northwest sky. No conventional source for this beam was found. Later, on February 1, 1993, the team was able to vector into the site a large triangular craft, measuring 300-800 feet in diameter (one to three football fields). This craft responded to the team's signals, circled the area, and descended with its leading edge fully illuminated in what appeared to be a landing attempt. This triangular craft was approximately 300 feet in elevation and under 5000 feet from the research site. It had a brilliant light at each comer of the triangle, and a red pulsating light in the center. It was accompanied by a small red-orange probe or scout craft. As the craft left the areas, it repeatedly returned signals from the team, and then dipped below a ridge and was not seen again that night. This contact lasted about ten minutes. On February 2, 1993, the same type craft returned, this time under 200 feet, and again signaled in an interactive manner with the team. During the last 24 hours the team was in Mexico, it encountered during daylight hours brilliant, shiny metallic discs which hovered or flew near the team members. Four such discs on four separate occasions were en~untered by the team on February 3 and 4, 1993. B. England July 27, ~~~2 At approximately. 12:20 a.m. on July 27, 1992, on an 1800 acre farm near Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, England, the CSETI RMIT was successful in vectoring into the site a large, brilliantly lit, d;sc-shaped, domed craft, measuring 80-150 feet in diameter. This craft was silent, &nd less than 400 yards away, and came to within 10-30 feet of the ground. It was, in fact, in the same wheat field in which the RMIT was located. This craft signaled repeatedly to the group of four researchers, and a small amber object at one point detached from the object and went up into the clouds. While at close proximity, this craft caused magnetic disturbances to the compass so that the needle rotated counterclockwise 360 degrees around the compass dial. This near- landing event concluded with the craft receding into the mist and out of visible range after 10-15 minutes of signaling with the team. C. Florida March 14, 1992: On Marcil-14, 1992, at 8:24 p.m., CST, on a beach near Pensacola, Florida, over 40 people present for a CSETI research team training exercise, were able to vector into 11 .. the area four silent, hovering craft, which signaled repeatedly to the group, and changed formation in response to the group's light signaling. This event was observed from six locations, and videotapes and photographic evidence were obtained. These objects were under intelligent control and moved towards the group while exchanging light signaling with the team. This event lasted for 10-15 minutes. D. Belgium February 5, 1992: Having learned of a significant UFO wave in Belgium, the CSETI RMIT, consisting of four people, departed for Brussels on February 5, 1992. On the night of Februry 9-10, the team conducted research under unfavorable weather conditions near the town of Eupan, Belgium. At 12:30 a.m. on the 10th the team saw at low elevation four objects approximately 300 feet away, brightly lit, which vanished suddenly after about five minutes of observation. The team returned the next morning to the site, and no explanation for the objects was found. On the night of February 10, 1992, the team proceeded to a high ridge near Henri- Chapelle, and at 12:45 a.m. on the 11th successfully vectored into the site a large triangular, silent craft which dipped below the low cloud cover to reveal a brilliantly lit apex of the triangle. The light on this part of the craft was about the size of a full moon. A few minutes later the team heard a low vibratory rumbling directly above them, which seemed to be turned on and off in rapid succession twice. This vibration was above the team in the clouds and was stationary. 12 1 Steven M. Greer, M.D. Steven M .

I; I believe that these extra•terrcstrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet frOIII other planets. which obviously arc a little ~re technically advanced than we are t>erc on earth. I feel that we need to have a ~~P level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data frNII all over the earth conccmlng any t yp~ of enco""tcr, ~nd to deter~ine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion. We may first have to show them that we have learned to rcsc-lve our problcr.,s by peac-eful r.,cons, rather than warfare. before we are acce~tr.d as fully ~ualificd universal team meinbers. This acce?tance -Quid hav~ tremendous possibilities of advancing our ~rid in all areas. Certainly then it would seem thot the UN has a vested Interest in handling this subject pro~erly and expcdltioutly. I should point out that I•~ not an experienced UFO prof~sslonal researcher. I have not yet had t t,e privl legc of flying a uro. nor of 111Cetlng the crew of one . I do feel tl~t I am sOIKWhot qualified to discuss them ,Ince I have been Into th• fringes of the va5t ~rea, in which they 0 travel. Also, I d i d have occasion in 1g51 to have two days of ~bservation of 1111ny flights of them, of different sizes, flying In fighter for111atl~, generally frOC11 east t o west over Europe. They ~r• ot a higher altitude than we could reach with our jet fighters of that tl111e. I would also like to point out that 111:1st astronauts are very reluctant to even discuss UFO's due to the great nll!Cers of people who have indcs- crlmlnately sold fake stories and for9ed documenls abusin~ their naaies •nd reput•~lon, without hesitation. Those few astl'Ofleuts .-tlo h•vc continued to have• partlcip~tlon In tho uro field have had to do so very cautiou,ly. I) There are several of us ..,ho do believe i n UFO's and who have h~d occuion to see a UFO on the ground, or frOIII an alrpl•ne •. There was only one oc~•sion frOflt s.l)acc -~lch 111o1y have been• UFO. If the UN agrees to pursu~ this project. and to lend their credibility to it,· perhops many more well qualified people will agree tu step forth and provide help and information. I am looki ng fo,....ard to seeing you soon. Sincerely, ✓-~~ L~C:j111 Col.

I ;j MEMORANDUM FOR: [illegible) : SUBJECT: [ illegible] : PERTINENT PARTS RETYPED FOR READABILITY 000112 The Director of Central Intelligence Deputy Director (Intelligence) Unidentified Flying Objects Request of the Director of 10 December 1952 1. The following is a summary of the current situation with respect to the investigation of unidentified flying objects. Recent incidents include: a. Movies of ten (10) unidentified flying objects (unexplained on the basis of natural phenomena or known types of aircraft), near Trementon, Utah on 2 July 1952. b. A very brilliant unidentified light over the coast of Maine for about four hours on the night of 10-11 October at a height computed to be two or three times that which can be sustained by any known device. c. Alleged contact with a device left on the ground in Florida late this summer which left some presently unexplained after- effects. d. Numerous other sightings of lights or objects which either in configuration or performance do not resemble any known aerial vehicle or explainable natural phenomena. 2. In furtherance of the I/C action on 4 December, O/SI has been working with Dr. H.P. Robertson, consultant (former Director of Research, [illegible) establishing a panel of top scientists and engineers in the fields of astrophysics, nuclear energy, electronics, etc., to review this situation. [illegible) cooperation has been secured by DI/USAF and ATIC, and a [illegible) , Dr. Robertson, and Mr. Durant of SI to ATIC is planned for Friday. It is hoped to organize the panel and undertake substantive scientific review of this subject within the next two to three weeks. (omitted) H.

Gray Barker Publisher, Saucer News :aox 2228 WUH.t.HOTOH, 0.C.. Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301 Dear Readers: May 9 , 1968 As you may know, I a.~ a card carrying member of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer s Association. Therefore, like many other people 1n our country I am 1nterestec in the phenomenon of f lying saucers. It 1s a ~asc1nat1.ng subject that has initiated both sc1ent1f1c fiction fantasies and serious sc1ent~fic research. I watch with great interest all reports o~ un1~e~- -::!.!'1ed flying objects, a:1d- I hope that some day we v:~11 know more about this 1.nt:-igu1ng subject. Dr. Harlow Shapley, the prominent astrono::ier, has stated that there 1s a probability that there 1s other l!.!'e in.the universe. I favor~mor e rese a rch regarding this matter, a.r.~ I hooe that once and f'or all we can determine t he tr-:.:e facts about flying saucers. Your magazine can stimulate ~~ch of the 1nvest1gat1on and inquiry into this phenomeno~ through the publication of news and d1scuss1onl.nate:-~al. This can be of great help in pav1.11g the way to a kno·.:- ledge of one of the fascinating subjects of our con~e~~- orary world. ·~ :.1, ·. , ··-. , I I I I I . i \ ½ ffoaerable Ciordoa H.

As reported by components of the US Air Defense Command, an unidentified flying object (UFO) was tracked by US radars on a relatively straight course from the eastern tip of Long Island to the vicinity of Buffalo. Th e object was reportedly moving westward at an altitude of 50,000 feet and speed of 2,000 kts. "Jamming" was reported by several radars in this vicinity and westward as far as Chicago. In a subsequent briefing for representatives of the IAC, the US Air Force reported that the original reports had been degraded somewhat by information that: (a) there was an 11 minute break in the track; ( b ) weather conditions in the area were of a type which have in the past produced false radar pips and electronic interference; (c) B-47's of SAC were in the area near Chicago on an ECM training flight. The ADC has not completed its investigation of this incident, but in any event it now seems clear that the phenomena reported west of Buffalo were not related to the UFO. 2. We have no intelligence on Soviet activities (e.g., long- range air, submarine, or merchant shipping operations) which can be related specifically to this reported event. We believe it unlikely that a Soviet aircraft could conduct a mission at this speed and altitude and return to Bloc territory. However, we credit the USSR with the capability to have a submarine-launched cruise-type missile of low supersonic [illegible] and a range of about 500 n.m., but we have no specific evidence of the existence of such a missile. 3. We have examined possible Soviet motives for launching a one-way vehicle on an operation over the US, and consider that there would be little motivation at this time, except possibly a psycholo- gical or retaliatory motive, which we believe is marginal. One-way reconnaissance operations are largely ruled out by the likelihood that the results would be of small value, and the risk of compromise would be very great. 00428 4. We conclude, therefore, that it is highly improbable that a Soviet operation is responsible for the UFO reports of 20 September. 5. Considering the facts that the ADC Investigation is incomplete, and that weather phenomena are increasingly likely explanations of the original reports, we recommend that no IAC meeting be called on this subject at this time.

Rodrigues from {BA.3) Pilot 00-27 OBSERVER' S DESCRIPTION: While passing in a climb above Barragem de Castelo de Bode (12HOO) at 2000' QNH, and at the base of the clouds at 2300' the pilot saw an object partially covered by the clouds . Having commenced a left turn, he asked the Tancos tower if there was any traffic reported in this area. Informed that there was not, he continued his turn, asking the tower to contact Batina to ascertain the existence of ~ir activity, unidentified by Tancos. in the area. Upon having turned about 31• 50' to the left. the above-mentioned object appeared at eleven o'clock approximately 6 (six) meters away. He had the feeling of standing ~till in comparison to the object, the speed of the D0-27 being 110 knots (126 mph). After having sighted the unidentified object. he straightened his wings, since the former had disappeared in the clouds about 3 seconds later. As a consequence of the D0-27's rapid shift, it went into a steep nose dive. very pronounced and uncontrollable. The pilot worked the controls in an attempt to pull out of the dive, but the plane did not respond. He even went so far as to cross the controls. The plane quickly reached 146 knots {168 mph) and then right aw4y 180 knots (207 mph). The pilot continued trying to pull out of the dive, vhi~h he succeeded in doing only relatively close to the ground, and he had the feeling that he had brushed the trees in that area, but after the landing, he CRS -2 verified that this had r.~t pappened. When it went into the dive the plane's motor vibrated heavily and the gyroscope went crazy, and showed a phase displacement ~t 180° (when it reco- vered) in relation to th~ compass direction that, once stabilized, was followed. REMARKS: The commander~: BAJ vouched for the pilot's action. ***** ***** ****• ***** ***** ***** ••••• • •••• DATE/ TIME: Nov. 2, 198: from 10:50 to 11 :15 PERSONNEL: Lt.

Under way from Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Island. At 2152 GMT, the ship's position was N 240 ~o• W 31° 15'. tbrth Easterly wind, force 5. Low heap of clouds (Cumulus} drifting with the wind. Oarometer 1023 Mb. Temperature ! 23°c. At 2152 hrs. GMT (1852 ship time}, the lookout on the port wing of the bridge reported a lighting obj ec t in the sky, in northerly direction. As I came out on the port wing of the bridge, I saw an intense blue fire-tongue which with enormous speed came in the direction of the ship. I ran to the telepho:-:e and called the Captain, and without waiting for a reply, I took the binocular s and ran out on the starboard wing of the bridge, and I then saw the object through the binoculars as it passed the ship. The object passed just aft of the ship, altitude approximately 200 td 400 metres, and it passed well below the clouds. There were bright st~rs and moonlight between the low clouds, and I could clearly see the contour oi t he object's upper part. It has the shape of a cigar, and I could clearly see a row of square windows, and a weak, yellow-orange light was seen from the inside. Jhere were neither s ign of wings nor rudder. The object had a blueish tail of fire, which were mos t concentrated near after part, and further away was s preau out. A little more behind the object, I could see countless numbers of glowing ba 11 s, and from each ba 11 was a b 1 ue ray emi na ting backwards from the object. (See sketch.} The length of the fire-tongue was assumed t o be as s roximately . 100 metres. The object seemed to be much biger than any known type of air- plane. The object had an enormous speed and was seen for about 30-40 seconds, ind within this time it went from the tlorth to South horizon. Its approximate course was 1aoo. In spite of the enormous speed and though it passed clcse,- no sound was heard. The lookout on the port wing of the bridge, able seaman Hernandez Ambrozic said that it first seemed as if the object lifted frrnn the water, and then went in a northerly direction and suddenly changed its course toward us . The helmsman, ordinary seaman tla!"cisso Guillen, had also the opportunity tc !:.ee the object jus t as it had passed the ship. On the poopdeck the objec t was observed by the mechanic ._\Jan Hernandez ar,d messman Ignacio Suarez. Their statement corresponds completely to mine. I can certainly say that it was not a usual plane, ~ocket, meteor or a f i r e- ball type of lightening. r • • J ~ 001047 D/\.-lli'31a I would be grateful to hear the meaning of an expert about this phenome~on, ___wtt h r espect /~r_:__..~ ~.-:Torgrim Lien, Chi ef Officer and officer on duty.

A : Good. Hello, Jack. P: [fades in) Recording from the air ..... matter of fact, this was the first one I observed and I would say now it's 20,000 feet. A: Uh-huh. Huh. A : I don't sec anJthing in that area now. A: No. I don't...we're not painting anything in that area. P: Well, they have. well. I have 20,000 feet by eyeball. Could be 100.000. A: Uh-huh. Right. Yeah. A: Do you get anything between Victorville and Edwards? P: Here's one out here. A : Does it appear now that they are moving away and moving out? P: [too faint to copy) A: They're going. huh? P: I already ...... officer ... I don't think got here in time to sec 'em. They're going up. A : Hmm. Does it look like they are moving away and moving out? P: Yes. it sure does. They're goin'. They're goin. The ones to the south. they're going straight up. All of them are. A: Hmm. About how many were there? P: At one time I had seven. A : Uh hub. P : At the present time I have 1-2-34-5 rising too. A : Are those five also rising? T :i P : All five of 'em are rising A: Alright. P: At one time I had .... A: !cuts in] ....... go up to the roof and take a look. A : Okay, run up. P : ... did you ever see anything, _ One? 0 : This is Captain Clark. I can't seem to find anything but stars out there. P : WeU. sir. they are all rising now. 0 : (Clark) Is that right? P : Yes sir. They're all going up now. 0 : (C lark) Okay, you've got one bright star j ust about south ofus. Where from that? You know. that bright one -I think it's about a 45 degree angle up. P: Uh. A : AFL? A : Yeah. A : Maintenance comrol. A : Yeah. 0 : Let us -get back to me. We're just in the process of winding th.is thing up, OK? A : Okay. P : All of 'em now appear that their red light has stopped. 0 : I didn't see any red light. P: All of them from here now. that the red light bas stopped and they all appear to be heading __ 0 : Is that right'? A; I'm gonna watch that bright one again. 0 : Okay [Voices in background are relating what pilot says through a radio or phone. tallcing to other parties.] P : There's 3-4 of them. well south and dim. 0 : Okay. 2 j P: I still red light occasionally out of one of them. 0 : Where are they from that big bright one? P : Beneath them and just a little bit south. And there's three of 'em almost in a straight line. 0 : Uh huh. P : Almost horizontal. 0 : I see. P: And I still see a red light occasionally from those. but not from the big one. 0 : Yeah. Okay. When you come down take a look at 'em again. P: Okay sir. __ , you still on? A : Roger. P: Yeah. they all appear to be leaving now. I don't know. A : Okay. Too bad we didn't get up on 'em. P: I don't know, it w:is definitely ... A: (cuts him off] No. No. I'll call ya when .... P: Th.is space -this space officer that has been obsemng th.ls here with me all night. Here. let me get him back on and see if he is gen.mg the same impressions of it I'm getting. I don't like to be the only one seeing these type things. A : Roger. !laughs) (delay} A: BaseOps .... 0 : Ion plane?! Yessir. Let's register this along with you. A : Right. O : The man says the tower boy there is froze. He has had somebody confirm his story. He says they are all pulling up at a very rapid rate right now. A : Well. we'll wait and go. AJI we need is their request. 0 : Alright sir. A: We've lost radar contact \\ith them. 0 : How long ago did you lose radar with them? 3 A: Oh, I'd say roughly 10-15 minutes. 0 : __ is on the other phone. I might get a consultation to see if he's seeing the same thing I'm ... it appears to me that they are all rising in altirude rapidly. It would appear to be. Yep. How about the bright up? Does it appear to be straight up? How about straight - that's much higher now than when we first saw it. Yeah. 0 : (different voice) Call the Navy if you can. Ask if they have any balloon JaW1cbes out of Ontario? O: Len? 0 : Roger. 0 : It's ( a name - can't make out) again. Base Ops confinns my - what I'm seeing. They are all rising and the weathennan in Base Ops has been observing these things all night with me and be has been using reference points to U)' to judge if they're moving. 0 : Right. 0 : And be confirms that they are very much b.igber now than what they were. They are, they are definitely going up. 0 : Do you have any estimate on the altitude now? 0 : I'd hate to venture a guess. I would say something like maybe 30 .000-40.000. but now this is stnctJy ·way out ..... off the eyeball guess. 0 : Not on my low altirude ? 0 : No sir. I wouldn't say. Not nearly what they were. At first sighting on that one. I would have judged it's altitude to be no more than. at the most, 5.000 feet 0 : Well. we had some measured altitudes bul but said UFO officer was gonna want us to take a look. We were waiting to go. But I haven't heard anything yet from him. 0 : I don't think he's made it to Base Ops yet. 0 : Well. I told Sgt. Homer to ask him why be was ...... and tried to get a decision then. but I haven't heard anything. O : Well. I wanted this captain down here at __ to see it before we went or something. I can't make out any red lights anymore .. (two voices talking at once). One is still definitely flickering. Well. they're all still flickering but they are so far away now I can't make out the red light It was like there was just a small red light on the bottom of it like an obstruction light of some type. 0 : Did anybody talk to the Navy down at Miramar. Ontario -in that area to see if they launched anything? 0 : No sir. I haven't talked to anybody. All I've talked to are all the people here. Tower operator at Geor ge. 0 : We'll see if we can get a hold of them down there. I think we can get a line we can get a line t<i them, they might know ... 4 0 : I don't have any mtcrest in communications "ith them. Q: Hey, Sarge? 0 : Yes sir? Q: Has the captain come back yet? To the Squadron? 0 : No sir, he didn't come back on the line yet. tmangledl 0: Once I got a look at that real bright object. it looked like .... [breaking upl 0 : I see? He found it? 0: Yeah. he found the bright object the first time and he thought it was a star and it was coming in that this was a sw but he had seen the (?) again but he'll take another look at it and we'll see if he can find the other thing that.... 0 : At one time I bad seven of 'cm. 0 : I see. how many have you got now? 0 : (on plane) I have five of 'em now. O · Still have five? 0 : Yep. Well. now. since I. since that first rack of the fence they seem to be stationary again now. 0 : I see. How many degrees off the horizon would you say? 0 : Oh. good grief. there's the ... 0 : A 4 5 degree angle? 0 . At least. Or more. 0 : 60? 0 : 4 5 at least...about 45-50 degree angle. That's the brightest one. The other ones would be in the lesser angle. Maybe 30 degrees angle but they're much funher away. O : D id you see anything when you went out? 0 : (new) No. I didn't see anything. 0 : Oh. I didn't either. O : Couldn't see for the haze anyway. We can't even see the lights on top the mountain. 0 : Yeah. 5 A: You know. we have a lot of traffic. WelJ. not a lot of traffic but we have some traffic moving in that area now. I was wondering maybe if they might have gonen up out of the way or something. Tlus whole thing is nice. isn't it? A: Yeah. it was {slurred} A: Yeah. sure does. 0 : (on plane) Those 10 the south are really giving a blinking now. 0 : What are they doing? O/P: Blinking 0 : Hmmm. How big an object would you say they were? A: That'd be hard to say. O/P: {laughs} It's very hard to say. From the distance, from what I have judged to be the distance and the altirude of these things .. 0 : Uh-huh. O/P: .... the closest one to me has the. about the area of two stars. About twice as big as a normal star and very bright. 0 : lltis is Captain Clark back on again. 0 : Yes, Captain Clark! What did you find out out there? CC: On that bright star now. let's see if I have the right one, coming down and to the right slightly you find three that are in kind of a "V'. 0 : That's the ones you're looking at? A: Yes sir. CC: And then I see one on the bonom bar of that V. the V kind ofauns up to the right. A: Yes sir. CC: Between the two bottom stars, and I see one that does seem to be twinkling red. A: Yes sir. That one in the center now appears to be the one that's doing it. CC: Yeah. A: More than the other one. Earlier the big bright one was blinking. He has quit now. CC: Yeah. A: The three to the south ... they seem to be .. one of them will blink and then it will be the other one and then another one. 6 CC: I see. A: But I can't get all three of them to blink. to blink red. at any one ume. CC: They sure look like they're a long ways. A: Those three are. This one is very h.igh. The bright one is very high now. When I first observed it. it didn't appear to be no more than 5.000 feet and about over the __ . CC: Oh? For heaven's sakes. Well. it looks like it's well up there now. A: Yes sir. I have made a guesstimate at 40,000. CC: Yeah. 0 : Whodoes? A: I have - well of course. that's just my eyeball on it. CC: Yeah. 0 : Paul? Paul: Yeah. 0 : Okay. Our night finders are locked on them. Paul: Oh. they are? 0 : Boron (?) says they have them locked on. 0 : What do. what do they say they are? 0 : Stand by just a second. 0 : Okay. What is the altitude on them? 11,000? 0 : Well. I don' t know whether the night finders are locked on or not. They're saying 8.000. 0 : 8.000. huh? 0 : Yal. 0 : (another) What do you have for distance on them? 0 : Standby. A: I have to say more than 8 on this one I see. O: Y cab. it looks like a reaJ fine star. Does it show any perceptible movement? A: Well sir, it has moved. That's the thing. It has moved. 7 0 : Yeah. Well. I couldn't determine anything out there on the wall where I was standing. A: Well, now. I have observed it mow for an hour and 50 minutes 0 : Yeah. A : Almost two hours now. And in that time it has gained altitude t\\1ce and moved what would appear to be five or six miles to the west. 0 : Uh-huh O: (another) Does anybody have the winds over there? A: Yes sir. I have it here in the tower. It's presently calm. No more than 2 knots and they are westerly winds. And these things are moving westerly. 0 : Oh. hold it. I've got a repon here from Laos. My ainnan says he's got one movmg up there. He's taking my binoculars up now and take a look. 0 : Okay. str. stand by. I've got another phone nnging. 0 : Okay. go ahead. P: Hello. I'm drawing back to base. I'll be back s honJy. A : Okay, you got a range as (blurred then delay). A : Can you see them? (delay) 0 : Ask the ____ if he's got a height on any of them. 0 : Okay. and so they're down on MDS .. 0 : It's down. it should be down. O· Sgt. Duane? Tlus is Lt. Masack.

H: From San Pedro. 0 : Okay, say that again. Range and azimuth from Pedro? H: Range and azimuth from Pedro just moved from Zero Three Zero at 80 miles. First pick-up. And presently be is Zero Six Zero at uh. Pedro what did you say that range was? On that last request? Pedro: I didn't give you the range. H: Oh. you didn't? 0 : Zero Six Zero at what range? H: Give range on this one, please. Pedro. Okay. The one I've presently got? H: Let's see. Negative. Okay. Pedro. give azjmuth and range. 0 : Pedro. you on? Pedro: RighL I have Six Zero on the line. 9 H: Okay. what was the range? We didn't get that. Okay. Pedro. give azimuth and range on this target now. Pedro: Got it. Azimuth is Zero Seven Zero. Range is about -I can't pick him up H: What's range? Pedro: I can't pick him up. Range is about 40 miles. I guess. H : Okay. Got problems with the instrumentation.

H: Pedro, you locked on Interceptor now? Pedro: Say again, Lans? H: Arc you Jocked on Interceptor now? Arc you locked onto the Interceptor with your height finder? Pedro. I can't hear you. H: Say. have you got your height finder on the Interceptor. Pedro: I'm not sure yet. How many degrees again? H: Three Six Zero. Pedro: Three Six Zero? What position and what range? H: About 75. H: Okay. we've been checking Zero One. They should be heading Zero Nine Zero right over your tower. A : Zero Nine Zero overhead? H: Yeah. he's about 6-8 miles out now from you. A : Six or eight miles? What altitude? H: 25.000. 0 : And what altitude was be at last? A : 25. A: 25? A: He was up to 25,000? A: He's just -I'll point him to Zero One at 25.000. A: 25? A : Rog. (background voices) A: Okay. Zero One should be directly overhead now. (delay) 13 ... i 0 : How's Zero One looking now? A : J don't have him in sight. 0 : Oh, he's right overhead, I guess. (dela y) A : Rog. A : Alright J have Alpha Lima in sight now. A: Yeah, he says he's got a contact. 12 o'clock 16. A : That's it H. Okay, Pedro. Tum your height finder 7 degrees ahead of him. Tum your height finder 7 degrees ahead of that height -ahead of that Interceptor. 0 : That should be a contact. H: Hey Tower? A : Yes? H: How's he looking now? Is he headed toward anything? A : Pretty good. He looks good. H: Are the blips merging . .J mean, uh. .. A: Yes. he's converging on him. H: You got any contacts out there? 0 : No contacts om here.

H: Okay, Pedro. Tum your height finder to Zero Three Zero degrees. A: Have Alpha Lima show a landing light. Pedro: No contact at Zero Three Zero. H: Hold Zero Three Zero. Search 15 degrees either side Zero Three Zero. Pedro: Okay. O : Okay. Tower. Turning Alpha Lima Zero One Pon Two Five Zero should bring him straight in over the top of you. A : Over the top of us again? interceptor still holding Two Five thousand. T H: Right. He's climbing. He's climbing to 40,000. Pedro, he'll be climbing to 4.000. 40,000, I'm sorry. 15 A: ls be up from me now? H: Pedro. search. Arc you on here? Pedro: Roger, go ahead. H: Okay. Next time be gives me a position that he's passing this object. I'm gonna give it to you and right then I want you to mark it and have your height finder search 15 degrees either side of that. Pedro: Okay. 0 : Where's Alpha Lima now? 0 : Hey. Tower? A: Yes? 0 : They didn't say what frequency the Alpha Lima was on. did they? A: No. If I had to guess ... 0 : Two Three Zero might do it. A : Lans? H : Yes? A · What frequen~· are you working Alpha Lima on? H : Two Eight}· Two Two. A : Two Eighty Two Two? H. Rog. 0 : Okay. Alpha Lima Zero One should be closing on that object we just made a pass at And a possible contact down our search radar. A : Lans? H: Rog. A: Where's Alpha Lima now? H: He's Zero Six Five for 30 from you now. A : Zero Six Five 30. H: Right. Make that 25 nov.. A: 25. H: Rog. 16 .. ..l 0 : Mark that spot. Sherm. We lost the possible contact on search radar again. A: What altitude? H: Okay, Zero One now should be Zero Six Zero for 20. A : Zero Six Zero for 20. What altitude? H: 40,000. A: 40? H: Rog. Pedro, he's now at level 40. He's climbing at 40, he should be at 33 now. 34. Pedro: 33, 34. Alright, sir. H: You got him, Pedro? Pedro: Zero Three Two. Got a target there. He's coming inbound. A: You got any possibilities you can run him on? H: Okay, Tower. A: Yes. H: We have Alpha Lima Zero One, Zero Eight Zero for 18. A: Yeah, I think I have Alpha Lima now. One of the objects is to his right. It's low. H: To his right and low. A: Yeah. H: (calls out) Search visually right and low. Pedro search? Mark that spot. Check 5 degrees either side of that search. height finder and look high and low. Okay. Zero One is at 40.000. A: YOU got 40? H: Y cah, he's searching right and low. No joy. T owcr. bow is he in reference to some of the blips now? A: I'm not sure I have him now. I think I've lost him. H: He is now about..uh .. Alpha Lima is now about One Two Zero for 13. A: One Two Zero at 13? H: Rog. 40.000. O: Yeah. he's really enjoying that area. Pedro, you guys find target out there? Pedro: He is too far away. He's too far west. 17 0 : Alpha One Zero is too far west? Pedro: Yes. 0 : Well. now he's only about - he's bearing about One Three Five for 8 from you now. Pedro: I have him at about One Six Zero. moving almost due south of me now. He is well west of all the objects. 0 : Roger. we'll bring him over your station again. head up that way. Pedro: Okay, have him come righL have him line up with my runway Zero Four. Have him go in a right turn and roll out Zero Four Zero and bring him right down my runway. H: You're gonna do what now? Pedro: Right turn and roll out Zero Four Zero. come right down my runway. H: Okay. Realiz.e his nun radius up there is about 20 miles. Pedro: That'll put him to the north when he comes around. H: Rog. Okay. Pedro: Okay. Put him in a starboard turn Zero Four Zero. H : Zero One. tu.ming starboard Zero Four Zero. P: Roger. H: That should bring him in quite a ways n.orth of you. Pedro: Yes he will. We'll probably lose him when he goes over the tower and have to catch him on th.e .. H· Rog. Pedro: I'll ~ · to keep an eye on him. H: I've got a possible cont.act on search radar bearing from your station Zero Seven Five for 10. Pedro. Zero Seven Five at 10? H: Roger. Anything out there? Pedro: I have one at Zero Seven Five. could ____ _ H: Rog. Pedro: And high. He's in our blanked out area now. H: Which height finder? (several speaking at once] 18 .J T 0 : La.ns. this is Tower. H: Rog. 0 : This is Captain Clark. Do you have any height on these things over here to the east of Edwards? H: Negative. Unable to get them on height finder. We're trying to mark them now with the Interceptor passes under them. CC: Right. H: Or in the vicinity of them. And we arc unable to get them on the height finder at the present time. If you give me an approximate time that he does pass under this, I got the surveillance man at the site standing by to mark this position. I'll have both height finders search that area. CC: Okay. A : Okay, he's looking pretty good. H: Okay. Zero One's gonna come in about 2 or 3 miles north of your station. A : I have him in sight H: He's in a right tum. And you have him steady on what heading? A: If he comes directly across from Tower from his present position, he'll bead right straight towards us.

A: Yes, about the time I said mark it appeared that he was almost under it. H : Okay. Mark that spot there. Pedro? Pedro: Right. H : Okay. search 10 degrees either side. Hm. All Zero One reports is one great big bright shiny star. A: That's what it appears like from the Tower now. It has that appearance from here now. It is much, much higher than when we first observed it. H: If it's that much higher, we're not gonna see it on the search radar. A: I suspect it's over your radar now. It's hard to judge the distance. Pedro: Pedro. H : Go. A: Let me take a quick scan of the skies here and see what else, see if I can spot another one. P: ... 72. H: Zero One Zero 72. ls that in the area of this target you're searching? Pedro: Rog. This is the search. PPL H: That is the PPI search area? Pedro: I have the Interceptor at another range now but I have another target. Zero One Zero headed east. H : Hey, Tower? 21 A: Yes sir? H: Have you got anything else in sight? A : No sir, just those two that we tried on there. And he appeared from the Tower to pass way beneath it. H: Edwards? A: Yes sir? H: Is there one about southeast of you, about 3 miles at this Lime.

END OF TAPE 28 ... :l INTERVIEW WITH SNOOPY 2 POLICE HELICOPTER PILOT CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -27 DECEMBER 1977 INCIDENT CODE: W -Witness (the pilot) I -lnten·iewer(s) SIDE B, TAPE 2 W: It was on December 27th. approximately 5 minutes lill l lp.m. We were Oymg out on the Independence Boulevard area. There was a call that came over the police radio at 9th and College. We weren't sure what the call was. We understood they were looking for an automobile so we headed that way. I was traveling a nonh-northwesterly direction toward the 9th and College. As I was headed that way. I observed two objects. It was approximately 2.000 foot indicated altitude. I pointed to my panner __ and showed him the two objects. I thought at first it was two military helicopters headed towards Fon Bragg. It was like they were flying in formal.ion and it appeared they had their landing light on. As we went under both objects. I observed that there was no rotating beacon. no strobe light. no nangauonal lights or an~1hing. After going underneath them I swung back around -it was only a minute. They had the car they were looking for. So we turned around. I was going to go back around and check II out. Going back. I couldn't find the objects. I got to the Coliseum. I circled around the Coliseum and turned back to the nonherly - to a nonherly direct.ion. As I did. I observed the two objects coming at me. I was doing approximately a hundred. a hundred and ten miles an hour at this particular time. So I pulled back on the cyclip and staned climbing. losing my air speed. I was trying to get behind the one that was the closest to me. As both objects passed by. I turned to the left and tried to circle behind one of the objects. One of the obJects that was in front appeared to climb to about four thousand foot. The other object turned to an easterly direction. I was turning to a westerly direclion so I immediately swung back to the right -to an easterly direction. As I did. I observed the object and I was within two hundred foot of it. It was a bright glow of light. it looked JUSI about like the light that a 100 -150 watt light bulb would put out. I obsen-ed the light. It glowed upward instead of outward. The shape of the top of the object appeared to be the shape of a parachute. It had the ribbed seams in it. II was about half the size of a parachute. As I observed it. a ball offire ;ame from the front ponion of the object and fell approximately ten f<Ylt • that's all 1 could sec. And then the object took off m an easterly direction. 1 staned after the object About that lime. the control tower operator called me and told me he had a target south of me around South Park Shopping Center. I swung to the south and I observed the same object. We staned toward the object and got \\1thin approximately a mile of it. The object disappeared. I immediately called the control tower operator back and asked him ir he still had it on the screen. And he stated to me that it just dropped it off the screen. I: Okay. and ~·ou saw no more lights'! That was the end of the .... W. That was the end of it. I: Okay. Uh. the total elapsed ume -what do you feel -did you note your watches when you first sa,, it and then when 11 ended'! Did you get the elapsed time from the inuial sighting of the objects to when II last .. '! W: I would esumate that m, second encounter w1th them after I came around behind the Coliseum and they were corrung out of the· nonh ... I would say right about 11 :00 o'clock. We ha\'e a digital clock on the instrument panel in the helicopter And I looked at the clock after I lost both • or all three • objects. And it was fi\'e minutes after 11.00. So. I saw the total thing and It lasted less than four minutes. ... Oka). four minutes. no\\. from the first encounter to the - when _\OU first sighted the l\\O objects -or the second time? W The second ume. I would say it was a total of about SC\'en minutes total from the ttme I first spotted them until I lost lhem. I: Okay Seven minutes. Oka). Four minutes on the second encounter when you picked them up again. Okay. Now. you me ntioned three objects. Two objects you first saw and then coming back. did you see lhe two objects? W. 1t would be the same two objects. I: Okay. Did lhe~· seem 10 be connected'' W: No. they were not connected because one stayed about 1.800 to 2.000 foot indicated alurude. The other o ne appeared to climb to about ,H)()() foot I: Okay. W And o ne appeared to go straight for as far as 1 seen him. Later on. while l was talking - I was talking to the control tower the whole time. I called the tower and asked him if he had any targets o n the scope out there by the Cohseum: that I had two objects out lhere that didn't have an) rught na,igation hghts. rotating beacons or a nything. He stated to me that he did have three targets over the Coliseum a rea. I S\\1mg around and turned the landing ltght on them - from the helicopter. And he stated he had \isual contact "1th them I· Okay. no\\. one of lhe targets is a Cessna going b) W· That had alread) gone by. I sa" the. I obserYed t he Cessna going by. I You did observe the Cessna' 1 W: Yeah. I.. .. I. Okay So after you rumed your landing hght so the tower could see you. okay. no" did you have two or three objects in s ight? W I had two objects. I didn't kno" an)1hmg about the third object. I. Okay. you had two obJects m sight. Now when lhe .. lhe ball or piece fell down or went off. no" did you ha\'e lhe t\\O objectS m sight when the). when one of them fell 00'! W: I onl) had o ne I was on the bunch on the end. The n I couldn't keep up t~ing to catch both of them. So I was trying to get one of them. I. Oka\·. so two were in the area but you ,,ere t~·ing to get o ne'' Okay. so you we re watching one. So the ball ca~e off of that one object then dtd the obJect nse'! W: No. 11 ga\·e him a uh. easterly or nonheasterly dtrectton. I couldn't reall) say because I swu ng to Lhe left a nd th en l S\\11ng back to the right • I. ... on the radar tape we'\'e got what direction the)· basically pinpointed. but. Okay. Okay. when the object rose and went up to .i ,000 feet. did it rise up before it ejected the ball or did it go up and lhen CJcct the ball. then .... okay. 2 j W: The first object at 4,000 they were actually close together. I'd sa) \\1thin 4-5()() foot. I: Okay ... W: ... and the one furthest from me. which would have been in closer to town. he was the one that climbed to 4.000. And the other one that was closest to me was the one I was trying to swing around and get behind. He did not climb. I: He did not climb'! Okay. But the other one that was closer to to\m did c hmb and then it moved off! Okay. And the one that was closest to you ejected the• the ball. W: Ball of fire. I: Okay. When it ejected the ball of fire. what happened to it'! W: It went off m an easterly direction. I: It went into an easterly direction'! Okay. It moved off! [background vo1ccJ I: That disappeared It moved on in an ea.sterly direction and the one that was flying. did you see that moving away'! W: No. I was more interested in the second object and I was going to try to identify it. I don't know where it went. I: Okay. so you saw the one object flying and then your attention was looking at the object that. that was moving in an easterly direction'! Okay. Okay, the ball that shot off, now. did you observe how far it went dmm'! Where you able to tell'! Did 1t go just a few feet or did it look like it went do\\n towards the city'.' W: Approximately 10 foot. (background voices) I: Okay. we're going to have you do a drawing. That's probably the next step. We need to do a few more things. We've got some questions to quickly go through and go back on what you've already said. We'll just try to pick up a few things. And then we need to have a drawing basically of what you saw at the closest point. And then also on a map we want to • I want to have you show me on a map about where you were going and maneuvering and where you saw the different objects. I would say this is going to be quite detailed because there's a whole lot to it. W: There's not that much to draw, really. Well, most of what I actually seen was a light and a glimpse. I: Okay. Let's go right into the drawing then. Let me have you. if you would. Let me see if! have a pencil. I-2: You say you came within 200 feet of it at one point'! W: Yes. I-2: At that time did you - did you lose or gain any altitude'! 3 W: I was gaining 1-2: Gaining altitude (unintelligible) W· I was actuall) -he had went past and I was climbing prior to meeting him. I was only flying about 12 or 1,300 fool indicated and after I observed him corning toward me. they appeared to be about 1.800 foot indicated. And I staned climbing. I was losing my air speed while I was elimbmg up. 1-2: Did you think this was coming directly towards you'! W: It was, yes. But. he went past me a little bit to my left. And as he d id I was climbing and made a climbing left rum. At that time. he appeared to be making a left rum. And I couldn't get behind him so I S\\1mg it back to the nght. 1-2: The time it ejected the ball or whatever, did you ha\'e an orientation on whether or not he made a mouon when he shot somethmg out Did the object go this wa) and then the object then went tlus \\3). or he d!dn't change any position of lus 0\'11'! Did the ball Just fall off or was it shot out.. .... W. No. it didn't act exactl} hkc it recoiled. It came out from under it. It Just fell - almost be like you would drop sometlung out. I · Did it go straight or d id 11 fluner'! W: It went straight. I But the light -did n st.a~ solid'? It didn't disintegrate or anythmg'? When that ball dropped off, 1t went straight down. Did that light continue moving on? W· I tell you what ll reall~· reminds you of.. I. Right Okay. W: .. .is when you plug into an outlet and the fire flies from it. That's what it actually reminded me of if you'd multiply that b) uh 500 times. J-2: You said it was about like the light from a JOO wan lightbulb. What apparent size did it appear to be? W. It was a glow of light. When I said a JOO watt lightbulb I was refemng to about the size of the g low that a JOO watt lightbulb would put out. I: Okay. Jet's, let's go in before the sketch then. Here's an apparent size chan. Okay. What we're going to do here is get an idea so we can visually feel just ho" big it was. Like to have you to hold the chan at arm's length and •~· to visualize that if you had that chan that rught and could hold 11 up at the nearest point. what bright circle there would completely surround the glow so that so you couldn't... W: Are you talking about the light or the whole thing'! J Well. at this point I guess the light. the h ght itself. or 1s 11 bigger than that. Maybe. You kno\\, most encounters, you're not "11hin 200 feet. so the whole light may be bigger than what you see here. In other words ... W: That would really .... 4 I: Do you sec what I'm talking about'! This is a little bit hard to explain. let's sec. W: I, I understand exactly what you' re trying to say. It's been over a week and it's kinda ... I: Well, this is just to gi\'e us an idea of how big the light.. .....
