Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, claimed he had seen a UFO at least twice. Both occasions were during his stint as 33rd Governor or California (1967-75).

The first took place the night Reagan was to attend a party held at the Hollywood home of the late actor, William Holden. Two of the party’s attendees, television star Lucille Ball and comedian Steve Allen, confirmed the story.

Reagan was absent when festivities commenced, but appeared almost an hour later, highly excited. He told how he and his emaciated spouse, Nancy, had spotted a UFO when they were traveling along a coastal highway to Los Angeles. They stopped and watched. Some versions of the story say the UFO had landed. Lucille Ball said in her tome, Lucy in the Afternoon: An Intimate Memoir of Lucille Ball, that she always wondered whether he would have been elected if people knew he had claimed to have seen a UFO.

The second occasion was in 1974, shortly before the end of his second gubernatorial term. Reagan told the story to the Washington Bureau Chief of the Wall Street Journal, Norman Miller. He said the governor’s airplane was approaching a runway in Bakersfield, California, when he saw a strange, bright, white light to the rear of the airplane. He told Miller that the airplane followed it for a few minutes to Bakersfield, whereupon it darted up into the sky.

Confirmation was provided by Air Force Colonel Bill Paynter, who piloted Reagan’s Cessna Citation jet airplane after his retirement. He had clocked-up 30,000 hours of flying, an extremely high number. He said the object, “a fairly steady light,” was a few hundred yards distant and began to accelerate. At this point, it seemed to lengthen, before accelerating to a “fantastic speed” and climbing swiftly at a 45 degree angle. He said the acceleration was “like a hotrod.” No report was filed because, as Reagan said, “For a long time they considered you a nut if you saw a UFO. “

Reagan told Miller that he and Nancy had conducted personal research into UFOs, finding references to them in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. He spoke in an animated fashion, causing Miller to inquire: “Governor, are you telling me that you saw a UFO?” Reagan suddenly realized he was speaking to a reporter. Miller said, “This look crossed his face,” and he said, “Let’s just say that I’m an agnostic.” The story was reported by the English-language Korea Herald.

When in office, at Reagan’s first summit with Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva, he surprised the General Secretary by saying, “What would you do if the United States were suddenly attacked by someone from outer space? Would you help us?” Gorbachev replied, “No doubt about it,” to which Reagan said, “We too.” Gorbachev then said, “So, that’s interesting.”

Reagan also spoke of the event in a speech at Fallston High School in Maryland. His comments do not appear in speechwriter files, which indicates that he was ad-libbing. Gorbachev later said he did not dispute the hypothesis, but thought it a little early to worry. In 1990, he said, “The phenomenon of UFOs does exist and it must be treated seriously.”

Earlier, Reagan had said to Foreign Minister Shevardnadze that he believed the people of Earth would unite in the face of the threat of an alien attack.

Near the end of his speech to the Forty-Second Session of the United Nations on September 21, 1987, Reagan said that it was often forgotten how much unites humanity, and that perceived differences between nations would disappear in the face of an alien threat. He had spoken off-the-cuff at Fallston High School, but these comments would have been written very carefully. Reagan had reintroduced them after they were deleted by staffers.

Author Darwin Potter said that Reagan had told a friend that he had seen UFOs three times. Reagan supposedly said, “I just know it. They’ve selected some desert in the West to make their landing.” Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis, said her father was possibly joking. She posed nude at the age of 58, and has nice tits.

Defense secretary, Cap Weinberger, was present at an intelligence briefing given to Reagan where UFOs were allegedly discussed.

In 2007, a document surfaced which purported to be an intelligence briefing given to Reagan at Camp David from March 6 to March 8, 1981. CIA Director William Casey and Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger, were said to have been present. It has been largely dismissed by UFO researchers, but contains a wealth of funky detail allegedly transcribed from 54 audio cassettes.

The material was said to be “above top secret,” and special containers, printers, and copiers were devoted to it. The speaker said President Nixon had shown him an object taken from the crashed UFO at Roswell, where debris and five dead “extra-terrestrial biological entities” – aliens – and one live one were recovered in 1947. The live alien died in 1952 after revealing that it came from Zeta Reticuli, 40 light years from the Earth. Another crashed UFO was found in 1949. Other EBEs were later found. Photographs of aliens were shown. The aliens, called Eben, were believed to be peaceful, but of four other species, one was considered hostile.

The speaker continued that the Earth had been visited by different races of extra-terrestrials for thousands of years. The movies The Day the Earth Stood Still and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were said to have been made in collaboration between the Air Force and the movie industry. Reagan said that Bedtime for Bonzo, in which he starred alongside a chimpanzee, probably did not fall into this category.

Close Encounters was based on the first contact with the Eben. In 1965, the story goes, twelve humans were exchanged for one alien during a scheduled UFO landing in Nevada. The humans stayed on Zeta Reticuli for 13 years. Two died there and two decided to stay.

Steven Spielberg reportedly said that at a private screening of E.T. - the Extra-Terrestrial, Reagan said, "You know, there aren’t six people in this room who know how true this really is."

Hollywood filmmaker Jamie Shandera said that Steven Spielberg told him that at the close of a private screening of ET- the Extra-terrestrial, Reagan had said to him, “You know, there aren’t six people in this room who know how true this really is.”

It is reported that on October 8, 1955, General Douglas MacArthur, who was considered for nomination as a Vice Presidential candidate, is reported to have said, “The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the Earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.”

Canadian UFO researcher, Grant Cameron, who runs the website Presidential UFO, reported that some years following MacArthur’s statement, General John a. McDavid, USAF, said in an Air Force-approved speech at Milliken University, Decatur, Illinois, “Our meeting with other types of existence in other places in the universe quite likely will increase the potential element of conflict rather than reduce it.”

The Russian newspaper, Pravda, reported that in 1948, President S. Harry Truman called his assistant, Robert Landry, to the Oval Office, and ordered him to report to him about UFOs every three months. Once, he asked for investigation of an object he had sighted through his window in Washington.

Pravda said there was “documentary evidence” that Dwight Eisenhower saw a UFO in 1952, aboard the aircraft carrier, Franklin D. Roosvelt. A naval officer president said that a “large, blue-white UFO” hovered 100 feet in the air, flying away ten minutes after Eisenhower caught sight of it.

Former CIA agent Gerald Haines said that in that year, a “massive wave of UFO sightings over the United States” had the administration severely rattled, and that there was even an order to shoot down UFOs.

In January 1972, Sherry Eckhardt of Oklahoma was phoning her mother, when an unfamiliar voice was heard: “We issued an alarm … We are getting objects with a radar that appear on the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico … Fighters are on the way … An object has fallen into the Pacific Ocean, the fighters are shot down.”

Sherry Eckhardt said that when she was on the 'phone to her mother, she was connected to another line, where a UFO sighting was reported and she heard the voice of Richard Nixon.

Eckhart called her husband to pick up the phone in the room he was in. Another voice was heard to say, “Call the president on the phone!” She then heard a voice that sounded awfully like Tricky Dicky.

On television, the White House and Air Force denied the existence of any such call. Officers of the local telephone exchange said publicly that it was possible in theory for Eckhart to be connected to another, government telephone line.

Reagan’s opponent in the 1980 presidential election, Jimmy Carter, saw a UFO on January 6, 1969: a large, glowing object which changed color. He said, “It was the most devilish of all the stuff I’ve ever seen.” He later said his memory of the incident was vague and that he believed it was an experimental aircraft from a nearby military base.

Dennis Kucinich, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 and 2008, admitted to seeing a UFO while visiting the home of Shirley MacLaine in Washington state. He said that more people in the United States had seen a UFO than approved of a presidency of George W. Bush.

The Governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, admitted to witnessing the famed Phoenix Lights UFO in 1997. In an interview with the Daily Courier, he said he was a pilot and that he was familiar with almost every flying machine, but what he saw was bigger than that. He said that other, responsible people also witnessed it and that it should not be ridiculed.

Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr., of Georgia, then chairman of the Armed Services Committee, saw two UFOS in Russia in 1955 in the company of two others. An Air Force report originally classified “top secret” but later declassified, said all three were “firmly convinced” that they had seen a UFO. It “had a slight dome on top” with “a white light.”

David Icke says that an alien attack will be faked to facilitate the imposition of a police state worldwide.

So, what’s with all this talk of little green men by high-ranking politicians and military officers? Some say they are an attempt to introduce the meme that the aliens are coming. A false flag operation, some disaster blamed on aliens, will be used to facilitate the imposition of a worldwide police state. This theory is championed by supreme nutter David Icke, which is as much as one need know of it. Icke says that various celebrities including Queen Elizabeth and eight presidents (including Bill Clinton, “President of the United States, satanist, serial killer”) are shape-shifting, reptilian aliens. Reagan’s successor, the reptilian George H.W. Bush, was somewhat unhelpful when he spoke of a “new world order.”

Another possibility, mutually exclusive with the first, is that the Star Wars missile defense program which cost more than $30 billion was actually aimed at aliens. The idea was discussed most prominently by former military intelligence officer Harold Sprague’s book, Dawn of Deception. He said that initially, the U.S. government worked with aliens until they massacred a group of scientists in 1979. He also said that at least 34 UFOs had been shot down. One oblong craft near the moon was destroyed by a beam weapon, and the theory is not at all weakened by the fact that such a thing is not known to exist.

An artist's interpretation of Gliese 581g

A newly discovered planet, named Gliese 581g, holds the possibility of containing water and alien life.

The planet is positioned in the habitable or “Goldilocks” zone, where the temperature is not too hot and not too cold to support life as we know it.

Gliese 581g has a mass of 3 to 4 times that of Earth and a year on the planet lasts only 37 days.  One side of the planet is always facing its star, receiving perpetual daylight, while the other is forever covered in darkness.

Scientists say the best place to find life on the planet would be the line between the darkness and light, known as the ‘terminator’.

She says she snapped these photos before two men from the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences came to her home to confiscate the body:

Is it real, or a hoax?

It’s likely a hoax.  Look at the stiff, twig-looking arm.  The creature wouldn’t have been able to pick anything up when it was alive.

The face, well that looks fake too.  It could have been carved from styrofoam with pieces of watermelon rinds glued on top.

The refrigerator would not have been cold enough to preserve the alien’s flesh for two years.  Anyone who has left meat in the fridge for a couple weeks knows how quickly tissue breaks down and grows bacteria.

We want to believe

Although some alien crash incidents are very believable, this one can be easily excused as a hoax.  The Russian woman may have came up with the idea after hearing about the alleged alien mummy that was discovered recently in Peru.

“It has a non-human appearance because the head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the body. At first we believed it to be a child’s body until Spanish and Russian doctors came and confirmed that, yes, it’s an extraterrestrial being.”

What are the natural causes that could explain the skull?

Besides extraterrestrial origins, the strange skull could be a result of the extremely rare genetic condition known as Progeria.  Progeria  accelerates aging, causing young people to look much older than they really are.

The deceased person could also have suffered from hydrocephalus, or ‘water on the brain’.  People with this disorder develop deformed skulls due to pressure from buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the head.

A third reason could be cultural.  As ritual to the ‘gods’, ancient central and South American civilizations used to bind infants’ heads to elongate the skulls and file the teeth to sharpen them.  This, however, does not explain for the mummy’s super large eye cavities.

You can see more of the claimed ‘alien mummy’ here.

Thank you for signing the petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye. However, that doesn’t mean the subject of life outside our planet isn’t being discussed or explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth.

The handling of this petition seems to be typical government procedure of all alien proof and sightings: denial of evidence.  Even though hundreds of people witness UFOs in the sky everyday.

Public Opinion of Alien Existence Remains High

UFOs around the Capitol, July 1952

Opinion polls show over 50% of American people believe in alien existence and more than 80% believe the government is not telling the truth about it.

These consistent denials by the government, after countless eye witness accounts and testimonials by government officials, only add fuel to the fire on the side fighting for disclosure.

Check out the White House’s full response with the petition that started it.

A portion of the Mare Acidalium quadrangle on Mars.

Why is Mars red?  The question has baffled scientists for decades, but a new theory by Dr. John Brandenburg is beginning to shed light on the complex mystery.

According to Brandenburg, there was an atomic nuclear explosion, equivalent to a 1 million mega-ton bomb, that took place in the northern Mare Acidalium region of the planet.  It left the face of Mars scarred from pole to pole, leaving the regions nearest the explosion with high levels of radiation.

The chemical composition and atmosphere changed.  The release from the explosion charged the atmosphere, producing unusually violent thunder strikes and lighting formations.  The end result of these atmospheric changes lead to the red planet we see today.

Aliens push the big red button

Scientists say the blast was natural, but some are skeptic.  How could such a powerful blast have been caused by natural reasons?  An alternate theory is that an advanced alien race produced the mega-ton nuclear explosion that wiped off all life on the planet.

The theory relates to what we as humans face in the challenge of surviving in the nuclear age.  The United States and its allies fear rogue nations and organizations gaining access to nuclear weapons and wiping out millions of people.  The same situation could have taken place on Mars, with a much more advanced society that was able to produce a much bigger bomb.

Alien outlaws or cosmic greed?

Were the aliens intergalactic terrorists, or was it an accidental explosion of a planetary nuclear reactor?  Mars may have only been used by the aliens as a mining resource, extracting minerals and geothermal heat from inside the planet.  When the reactor went up in flames, the aliens wrote the planet off as a loss on their budget sheet and moved on, much like how the same happened with Halliburton and the explosion of the oil rig.

If people continue to hurt others on this planet for power and monetary gain, Mars may be a mirror into Earth’s distant future.

Residents who witnessed the object reported their sightings to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), stating:

We saw this object that had shape of stealth bomber that had green and white lights hovering over the highway. At first I told my husband and children that I thought it was a blimp, but as we got closer it was doing weird maneuvers.”

We turned around to get closer, and by the time we got close enough it shot if like a rocket. There was another object in sky that it flew over and the light on it was a white, very bright light. I then called my father – retired navy – to ask him if stealth bombers hover and have green and white lights – and he said ‘no.’ He said that it might be a Harrin. So I looked it up and it didn’t look like it either. So what was it that I saw?

Another family had this to say about the object:

The closer we got, we realized the object was just hovering very low over the cars moving extremely slow,” the reporting witness stated. “There were hundreds of huge, extremely bright lights completely covering the front of the craft. These lights were almost blinding, and resembled stadium lights. As we were trying to take pictures out of the window, the craft was over our car and began to turn south, no sound whatsoever was coming from it – dead silence other than the passing cars on the highway. The underneath and back of the craft didn’t have as many lights as the front head on. It was gigantic. The front seemed rounded, then boomerang or arc-shaped as it turned. Not sure if it changed shape, but for sure two different shapes compared with head on to the back side of it. It took off a little bit faster, but still at fairly low speed compared with airliners or even stealth bombers which would both be very loud, this again, was silent. After it turned away, my husband thought it broke into three separate pieces. I thought it was just so big, it expanded and the three brightest lights appeared to be separate.

There has not yet been any official word from the government confirming that they are in fact alien spacecraft.  Some are looking to the White House for a declaration of their existence in the coming days.

What happened

Originally, at the location of what is now the town of Roswell, New Mexico, there was a crossroads whose springs provided water to cattle. The beginnings of the town came in 1869, when professional gambler Van C. Smith constructed two adobe buildings, which became the settlement’s general stores, post office, and sleeping quarters. Smith claimed the land, and became the first postmaster of the town, which he named after his father, prominent lawyer Roswell Smith. Albuquerqu is 200 miles distant. Thousands of German POWs were kept at Roswell in WWII. On July 8, 1947, the US Air Force, known then as the Army Air Force, announced that it had recovered a “flying disk” at the location.

The term “flying saucer” had only recently arisen, and had yet to catch on.

Kenneth Arnold with a picture of what he had seen

Kenneth Arnold was an experienced pilot who had clocked-up more than 9,000 flying hours. Originally, his flight plan of 30 June 1947 was to travel from Chehalis to Yakima, both within the state of Washington, but he made a diversion to search for a Marine Corps C-46 transport plane that had reportedly crash-landed in the Cascades near the southwest slope of Mount Rainier. He saw nothing, and returned to his original course. The afternoon was perfectly clear and he flew at 9,200 feet. One or two minutes after observing a DC-4 roughly 15 miles behind and to his left, he noticed bright light reflecting from his airplane. Looking in the direction of the light, he saw a procession of nine “peculiar-looking”, shiny, metallic aircraft traveling at a speed he estimated as around 1,600 miles an hour, almost three times faster than any aircraft of the time. The craft, he said, were arrow-shaped, and they moved jerkily: “like a saucer would if you skipped it across water”. He assumed the craft were military and experimental. And so was the term “flying saucer” born.

Ten days later, the crew of a United Airlines ‘plane reported seeing nine disk-like objects.

In New Mexico, UFOs were sighted in Silver City and Pope, by people including a dentist, an Army captain and some rocket scientists. On July 3 in Roswell, Dan Wilmot, one of the town’s most respected citizens, was sitting with his wife on their porch at 105 South Penn at around 10pm when he saw a large, glowing object zooming across the sky from the southeast. He told his wife, and they both ran into their yard to observe better. The object was like two inverted saucers or two old-style washbowls. It seemed as if light were coming from within. Wilmot guessed its size at 15-20 feet. While he noticed no sound, his wife heard swishing for a short period. Wilmot estimated that the object was in sight for under a minute, and that its height was around 1,500 feet and its speed 400-500 miles per hour.

William W. “Mac” Brazel was a rancher who lived 30 miles southeast of Corona, itself 75 miles northwest of Roswell. His wife and children lived nearby in Tularosa so the children would receive a higher standard of schooling. UFO advocates say all Brazel’s dates were weeks too early, but he said that on June 14, he and his eight year-old son, Vernon, were about seven or eight miles from their house at the J. B. Foster ranch checking sheep and looking for breaks in the fence following a night of acute thunderstorms. An explosion had been heard amidst the thunder. They happened upon an area around 200 yards in diameter of bright debris comprising tough paper, tinfoil, sticks and rubber strips. The rubber was a smoky gray color. There was a shallow score in the ground that was a few hundred feet in length. The sheep would not cross the pasture, which angered Brazel.

Brazel was in a hurry to finish his rounds and paid little attention to the find, however he told his wife, daughter Bessie and two neighbors, Floyd and Loretta Proctor.

He didn’t return to the spot immediately: “We should have gone, but gas and tires were expensive then. We had our own chores, and it would have been twenty miles”. On July 4^, he took his wife and children and collected a generous amount of the wreckage. He heard of Arnold’s report the next day, and wondered if perhaps that was what he had found. The Proctors suggested he report the crash to obtain a $3,000 reward from the press.

The sign outside the 509th Bomb Group. The mushroom design is cool.

Brazel had no telephone. The following Monday, July 7, he went to town to sell wool and when there he visited Sheriff George Wilcox and “whispered kinda confidential-like” that he was possibly in possession of flying saucer fragments. Wilcox contacted the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), home to the 509^th Bomb Group, a subcommand of the 8th AAF and an elite unit that was the only nuclear-armed one in the world. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki originated there. Two men from the airbase arrived, Jesse Marcel and, in plain clothes, Lt. Colonel Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter-Intelligence Corps. Wilcox, Brazel and the two new arrivals went to view what Brazel had found. They gathered what pieces were present. Brazel judged that the intact object would have been about as large as a table top.

There was no way to make the pieces fit together. The men thought the pieces were of something flimsy and kite-like. They attempted to make a kite from what they had found, but couldn’t. The sticks were as light as balsa but couldn’t be burned or cut. Some couldn’t be bent. A 16 pound hammer made no mark. The rubber formed a bundle 18 or 20 inches long while the other items formed one of about three feet in length. Brazel estimated the total weight as perhaps five pounds.

There was no trace of an engine, although one paper fin was glued to some tinfoil. No words were visible but some parts bore letters. The initials “D. P.” were visible. Much scotch tape and some tape printed with flowers was present, but couldn’t be peeled off. There were no strings or wires, but there were eyelets in some of the paper. Marcel later told Brazel “it has nothing to do with army or navy so far as I can tell”. The group stayed the night.

Returning to RAAF, Marcel stopped at his home with some pieces to show to his wife and eleven-year-old son. Some sections of I-beam were long, and one small section carried hieroglyphics. The son is Dr Jesse Marcel Jr, who became a qualified National Guard helicopter pilot and flight surgeon and reported on the first nuclear detonation by the Soviets, which went to President Truman.. He has made detailed drawings of what he saw.

A newspaper reports the finding of a flying saucer by the U.S. Army Air Force

Soldiers took the wreckage to RAAF. At 11am, the base’s public relations officer, Lieutenant Walter Haut, issued a press release at the instruction of the commander, the impassive Colonel William Blanchard. By 2:26 P.M., the story had been released by the AP Wire.

The San Francisco Chronicle of July 9 quoted the press release: “The many rumors regarding the flying disk became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eight Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the co-operation of one of the local ranchers and the Sheriff’s Office of Chaves county”.

It was said that the discovery had been passed on to “higher headquarters”. The pieces were sealed in a courier pouch and transported by Superfortress to Fort Worth and then Wright Field, Ohio, home to the Air Materiel Command and the AAF’s aeronautical research labs.

The Press was in uproar. Sheriff Wilcox’s telephone lines became jammed. Three calls came from England, including one from The Daily Mail newspaper

Brazel posed for a photograph that was sent over over an AP telephoto wire sending machine especially imported for the purpose by R. D. Adair, the wire chief who had also only been dispatched for that reason. Soon, Lt. Haut told reporters he had been “shut up by two blistering phone calls from Washington” and people trying to contact Col. Blanchard were told he “no on leave”. Marcel told Brazel “It has nothing to do with army or navy so far as I can tell”.

Brazel was held incommunicado by the Army for almost a week, not even permitted to ‘phone his wife. He underwent a physical examination and spent the rest of his life complaining that he was asked the same questions “over and over again”. He was sworn to secrecy and described the experience as being “in jail”.

A second press release said the “flying disk” was no more than a weather balloon. And so the fun begins.

Witnesses

There were many witnesses to Roswell. Some can’t be found.

UFO investigators obtained a copy of the 1947 Roswell Army Air Field yearbook . They asked a retired Navy SEAL officer to submit for confirmation the names and service numbers of more than two dozen servicemen stationed at Roswell in 1947. Neither the Veteran’s Administration nor the Defense Department has a record of these men.

Some witnesses remained silent. Colonel Edwin Easley, Provost Marshal at the base, equivalent to chief of police, directed security at the crash site in 1947. When questioned thoroughly about the crash in 1989, he repeatedly said, “I can’t talk about it”. Deputy Tommy Thompson, now deceased, replied “I don’t want to get shot” when questioned. Deputy B. A. Clark also said little on the subject, even to his sons, although he was present. Lt. Col Cavitt, taken to the crash site by the man who discovered it, refused to admit he was stationed in Roswell at the time, although multiple reliable sources place him there.

Philip Corso’s shitty book

Some witnesses are unbelievable, such as Philip Corso, author of New York Times bestseller, The Day After Roswell, which contained manifold errors.

Clark C. McClelland describes himself as “former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center, Florida (1958-1992). His tale speaks of aliens and their craft at Roswell, Werner von Braun, and the Cocoa Beach Ramada Inn. He also claims to have witnessed astronauts next to aliens in a shuttle payload bay.

Frank Kaufman talked of tracking a UFO on a radar at White Sands missile base (where the radar underwent “…continual modification and testing when not in use for actual tracking of missiles”) and then at Roswell (which had no radar, as documented by a request to use White Sands’ radar because it had none).

Glen Dennis Dennis was a mortician at Roswell’s Ballard Funeral Home, which had a contract with RAAF. He said he was asked to provide hermetically-sealed, child-sized coffins and was told of aliens by nurses. His account contains many inaccuracies, e.g. mentioning an airman before the rank existed, a black sergeant before the Air Force was racially desegregated and a red-haired colonel when none served at Roswell. Any “aliens” could have been people who had suffered aviation accidents.

Gerald Anderson was five years old at the time, yet still read a soldier’s name badge (“I was sort of a prodigy”). He falsified a record of a telephone conversation with a UFO researcher, exaggerating the call’s length. His ex-wife Peggy said, “He makes things up. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s very few times that you can believe that man”.

Then there’s Paul Epley, who also said he was asked to assassinate Martin Luther King. And Jim Ragsdale, whose story starts well (he and his girlfriend were nekkid) but is unsupported by the people who lived on the land where it occurred.

Fortunately, things improve.

The Brazel family was certainly present at Roswell. Mac Brazel gave press interviews at the time, but never discussed the matter with his family after that. Interest in the matter led him to conclude, “If I find anything else besides a bomb they are going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it”. Neighbor Loretta Proctor and her son Norris and Brazel’s friend Robert Wolf say he returned from his post-crash detention by the Air Force driving a new pick-up truck. He went from being “dirt poor” to buying new property and a meat locker.

Sheriff Wilcox and his wife didn’t like to discuss the matter, even with friends. A friend said the experience left him “finished, destroyed” and he never ran for County Sheriff ever again. In the company of his wife, Sheriff Wilcox was told by the military that if ever he spoke of what he had witnessed, his family would be killed. Threats were also reportedly received by a number of other civilians.

Wilcox’s daughter, Phyllis, however, is on record. Her mother spoke of the event only once, and briefly. Phyllis asked, “What was it?” and her mother replied, “Alien”. Phyllis asked if there were bodies, and her mother replied that there were, and one was alive but later died.

Phyllis recalls her father feeling sorry for the aliens, having got the impression they were treated as enemies.

General Ramey’s telegram, which is said to refer to “VICTIMS OF THE WRECK.”

The Chief of Staff of General Roger B. Ramey, commander of the Eighth Air Force at Ft. Worth, Texas, Colonel Thomas J. Dubose, appears with Ramey in two photographs. In 1990 he swore an affidavit attesting to switching the genuine wreckage for other material. He said he took a telephone call from a General in Washington ordering a cover-up. He said, “It was a cover story . . . to get the press off of Ramey’s back.” Ramey was photographed holding a telegram. It has been computer-enhanced and is said to refer to “VICTIMS OF THE WRECK.”

Major Ellis Boldra was an engineer stationed at Roswell. According to his son and friends, in 1952, locked in a safe in the engineering office, he found a one square foot section of debris which had the extraordinary properties described by other witnesses. A special courier collected it.

Lt. Walter Haut drafted the press release acknowledging recovery of a UFO and died in 2006. He left a sworn affidavit to be opened after his death, asserting that weather balloons were a cover story. He said the clean-up operation lasted for months, as supported by Brazel’s son and others who found debris which was confiscated by the military long after the crash.

Haut described how Col. Blanchard escorted him to “Building 64”, a hangar, and showed him the craft, a metallic, egg-shaped object of 12-15 feet in length and 6 feet width, with no external features. Two bodies lay on the floor, partly covered with a tarpaulin. The bodies were around four feet tall, with disproportionately large heads. The affidavit concludes: “I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from outer space”. Along with Glenn Dennis, in 1991 Haut founded Roswell’s International UFO Museum, which has attracted 2.5 million visitors.

Deathbed confessions were also made by RAAF personnel 393 Squadron pilot O.W. “Pappy” Henderson, base Adjutant Patrick Saunders, Provost Marshal Edwin Easley and others.

Former intelligence officer Jesse Marcel said what he saw at Roswell was “not of this world”. His crediblity is good. In WWII he served as pilot, waist-gunner and bombardier of B24 aircraft, performing 468 hours of combat flying for which he received five medals. After Roswell, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and assigned to a special weapons program.

In July 1947, now-retired General Arthur E. Exon was a lieutenant colonel at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, when wreckage arrived. It was tested in every conceivable way, and ” . . . the overall consensus was that the pieces were from space”.

Commander George W. Hoover was the “grandfather” of satellites and a close associate of Dr. Werner von Braun, who praised him. He created many avionic and astronautical devices and received the British Interplanetary Society’s Bronze Medal, the Aviation Week Laureate Award, the Legion of Merit, and the American Astronautical Society’s Space Flight Award. A highly decorated pilot, he logged more than 5,000 flying hours in over 100 kinds of aircraft. His son George W. Hoover Jr, educated at Berkeley, is now a partner in one of the most successful patent law firms in the US. He holds patents in such things as 3-D mapping and energy storage.

Junior revealed that his father was told of the Roswell crash in the 1950s or possibly earlier. He spoke of it to his son as early as the 1960s, long before the renewed interest, saying “on a number of occasions” that he himself had “seen the evidence about the Roswell crash event that convinced him that it was neither a balloon nor a hoax”.

Hoover Sr said a UFO crashed at Roswell, and reverse engineering was attempted. The entities behind the Roswell craft were “not so much interplanetary as much as they were literally also time travelers” – possibly even the agents of future humans. These beings could “manipulate reality around us” and the Government feared them. He said humans have much more potential than is realized. There was some corroboration of this from conversations between Hoover Sr. and researcher William J. Birnes, PhD, JD, who had contacted him regarding avionic matters.

Edgar Mitchell on the moon in 1971

Did you really think it was a weather balloon?

The Roswell incident initially attracted little interest. Project Blue Book, 1952-70, the Air Force’s systematic study of UFOs, never mentioned Roswell. After Walker Air Force Base closed in 1967, Roswell began to market itself as the ideal retirement community. That changed with Charles Berlitz and William Moore’s book about the incident in 1980. The same year, the Enquirer ran a story featuring Jesse Marcel, the RAAF intelligence officer who was one of the first to the crash site. Quite possibly, the film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, further encouraged things.

The US government found itself heavily pressured in the 1990s, most effectively from congressman Steven Schiff of New Mexico, whose constituents wanted the truth about Roswell. Secretary of Defense Les Aspin declined to reply to Schiff’s three letters requesting release of files relevant to Roswell. Schiff also received no joy from the Pentagon, Air Force and National Security Council, and complained of “stonewalling”.

Schiff asked the General Accounting Office, the investigative wing of Congress, to find Air Force documentation concerning the episode. In July 1994 the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force published a report, The Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert, concluding that the Roswell crash was of a balloon from Project Mogul, which aimed to monitor Soviet nuclear detonations using high altitude, low-frequency acoustic microphones, the only means available. The connection was noticed independently by researchers Robert G. Todd and Karl T. Pflock.

A weather balloon

Weather balloons descend at Brazel’s ranch to this day, and they are stored in an old feed storage silo. William Brazel had previously come upon two, which didn’t resemble his discovery of June 1947. He said, “I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon”. His daughter, Bessie, agreed: ”No, it was definitely not a balloon… I have never seen anything resembling this sort of thing before, or since…”.

Nobody noticed the return instructions found on every US military weather balloon. A crashed weather balloon would not have required a recovery operation and aerial search would have located the three-quarter mile wreckage site within hours, as retired military officers involved in actual SAR missions agree. No such mission was mounted.

Originally located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Project Mogul moved to New Mexico. In June and early July 1947, numerous balloon flights were launched from Alamogordo Army Air Field. Some consisted of extremely long trains of as many as two dozen neoprene balloons, whose total length exceeded 600 feet.

Wreckage which the Air Force says is consistent with launch number four of Project Mogul was found 75 miles northwest of Roswell.

Flight 4 was launched on June 4 1947. Before its batteries expired, it was tracked as far as Arabela, 17 miles from Brazel’s ranch. Scientist Charles B. Moore, professor emeritus of Physics at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, worked on Flight 4 as a graduate student. The heavily-classified project was so compartmentalized that he only discovered its name recently. He used National Weather Service data to show a baroclinic weather system would have taken Flight 4 to Roswell in the direction Marcel described. Moore’s analysis of flights 5 and 6 matched actual events.

Witnesses described balsa-like material that wouldn’t burn, and Moore said Mogul used balsa wood soaked in Elmer’s Glue or similar, a casein product. Moore said this would make wood stiffer and harder to dent, and also change its texture and color. Casein is a protein derived from milk. Aircraft-grade 8580 Casein Glue is the top-selling product of National Casein, manufacturer of such products since 1919. Ken Blake of the company’s New Jersey branch said the product today is comparable to that of the mid-1940s. People who have experimented with it say it doesn’t change the appearance of wood, or stop it from being broken by hand. While treated wood burns less and is harder to cut, in neither case can this not be accomplished.

The material described at Roswell was a smelly, smoky gray, rubber-type material – like neoprene. Witnesses described rings. The photographs from the second press conference show pieces of more than one reflector ring, and Mogul had three Signal Corps ML-307B RAWIN targets. Lt. Colonel Sheridan Cavitt, one of the first to the scene, said he saw a black box, and Mogul’s batteries were in black boxes.

Many witnesses described tape with flower designs or hieroglyphics. The initials “D.P.” were discerned. Similar symbols were used on these balloons. One scientist who worked on the project asked an army Major why this was, to be told, “What do you expect when you get your targets made by a toy factory?’”. Radar targets contained small eyelets, as witnesses described. The equipment was unlike anything used by anybody else, and could not have been conveniently substituted for the genuine debris.

Hieroglyphics were absent from the balloon wreckage shown at the second Air Force press conference. Photographs were taken by a special team from Washington, not the base’s 3rd Photo Lab as standard operating procedure would dictate.

The officers at Roswell were all highly-experienced. The radar interpretation officer in Marcel’s office would have recognized weather analysis apparatus. Mogul’s materials of neoprene rubber, tin foil, wooden sticks and masking tape would have been instantly recognizable even to a child, while Roswell debris had unusual properties.

The U.S. Air Force lies that any bodies seen at Roswell were crash test dummies like these.

The report said any “bodies” were crash test dummies dropped from balloons at high altitude for Project High Dive, a study based in New Mexico from 1954-59 intended to find safe procedures for astronauts or pilots ejecting at extreme altitudes. Even if witnesses misremembered dates, none were based in New Mexico at the time.

The USAF report made heavy use of witness Gerald Anderson. Anderson is incredible, but not in a good way. He is disregarded by almost all UFO researchers and no Air Force personnel recall him. His ex-wife Peggy said, “He makes things up. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s very few times that you can believe that man

The report said anthropomorphic dummies “were not widely exposed outside of scientific research circles and easily could have been mistaken for something they were not”. Pages later, it said that dummy usage was revealed in national magazines, books and the 1956 movie On the Threshold of Space. Dummies were man-sized, whereas witnesses said the bodies were child-size.

Project Mogul doesn’t explain the metal seen by Jesse Marcel, Phyllis Wilcox and others, which could be crumpled before restoring itself to its original shape. It is reminiscent of nitinol, a specially-processed mixture of nickel and titanium – NiTi. Nitinol has the same color, fatigue strength and heat resistance as the Roswell material. Nitinol research began at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, suspiciously shortly after Roswell. The Second Progress Report on Contract AF33 (038)-3736 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in 1949, authored by C.M. Craighead, F. Fawn and L.W. Eastwood describes progress. This document was referred to in 1952, 1965, 1972, and 1984, but neither Battelle nor the Air Force can now produce copies. The US Naval Ordnance Lab says nitinol was unveiled to the public in 1962 or 1963. Where might the idea have come from?

Project Mogul fails to explain the unknown doctors and nurses seen at the Roswell base hospital by nurse Rosemary McMannis.

Project Mogul wouldn’t have caused the Pentagon to ask Muroc (now Edwards) AFB in California whether any Northrop flying wings were at large.

A few miles to the northwest of the Roswell site is another with baked soil and fused sand, witnessed by Dr Lincoln Lapaz, Lewis R. Rickett and various Chaves county deputies. Project Mogul wouldn’t have caused this.

A poll by Roper in 2002 found that 72% of Americans believed the government is withholding information about UFOs and only 28% believed the weather balloon story.

Those who investigate alien abductions have tried to classify them, looking for common elements thereof. These abductions are purely physical, those abducted stating that they were sedated and then they watched how they were crippled on an alien ship. Some say they have been pulled directly through solid objects such as walls of houses. Another common method is the bioenergetical extraction: the bioenergy or the conscience of those abducted is extracted from their bodies through an alien technology. Although many ufo abductions have been reported throughout history, it seems that lately they have multiplied.

During the times past, ufo abduction and alien conspiracy theories were one of the most common themes used in horror tales. Some have even tried to make connections between abductions where the authors are fairies and the one committed by the “small greys”, saying that it is one and the same thing. Maybe it is, but only in the sense that our subconscious modernized our nightmares, especially after watching Steven Spielberg’s film, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.

“The Greys”
“The Greys” is the most common type of aliens mentioned in the alien abductions scenario. Small creatures, with oval-shaped heads and huge black slanting eyes, they underlie many theories of conspiracy. Opinions about their involvement in the abductions from the optimistic hope that they are our own descendants, which returned in time to save the Earth from destruction, to the sinister suspicion that they extract sperm and ovules from people, to save their own race.

USA Government
Majestic 12 – MJ-12 – is a powerful ghost group of the U.S. government, which seems to have collaboration with aliens, allowing them, in exchange for technology, to continue their experiments. This business has helped the construction of some weapons like airplanes B-2 bomber and F-117 hunter. Many of the victims remembered that they saw military personnel and installations, often without seeing aliens. Using authorized tactics of disinformation, this group is discrediting any study of the UFOs or “The Greys”, assuring in this way, the continued abductions, extending the suffering of thousands of people, and being the source of technology compensation for the U.S. government.

After the abduction experience, many victims have discovered that small devices were implanted in their noses and other parts of their body. After these implants are removed by surgeons, their origin is not clearly determined. Metal used in many of these devices is unknown, and their purpose remains an unsolved mystery. They are just tracking devices, or are they more than that ?

Similarities experienced between those abducted; the description of the aliens, the procedures and implants are alarming. Multiplying books, films and reports on this kind of alien abductions makes us think that the truth is ready to come to the surface at any time in the alien conspiracy.

The same phenomenon (alien conspiracy, ufo abduction) took place at the end of the Nineteenth Century, but then the abductions were committed by fairies, not aliens. They were all released on account of folly and paranoia, which was expected in the new century.
