SUBJECT: UPDATE/SITUATION REPORT FOR 1988 BY W. ENGLISH FILE: UFO2918 by William S. English DEDICATION I would like very much to dedicate this to the late Jim and Corral Lorenzen, founders and pioneers in the field of UFO Studies and Aerial Phenomena, and to all the men and women who, over the years have risked so much to gather the evidence and reports that have made this field both controversial and necessary. INTRODUCTION During the past three to four decades there have been a continual stream of reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects, alleged abductions of human-beings by aliens, contact of human-beings by aliens, animal and human mutilations by alien- beings, alien bases, and rumors of alien invasion. In addition to the questions that these things alone bring up, there are also the added questions of religious and moral ethics. Was god in fact an alien-being, or was christ constructed by the aliens as a bio-genetic/social experiment? If this is in fact the case, what effect will it have upon the social structure of our world and our race as human-beings? Will we as humans band together as one ? Or will we fall to pieces and destroy one another ? Most importantly, we must ask the question :"what are we as humans prepared to do in the event that all of this is true or partially true? Bearing all of this in mind, we will explore the possibilities and offer up some interesting speculations into these and other questions that we will review and discuss throughout this document. Part One In 1976, while working as a Data Analyst for the United States Department of Defence Security Services Command at RAF Chicksands, England. I had the task of analyzing a copy of what was entitled Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. Ostensively the government published Blue Book Reports #1 through 12 and 14 on to the last report, but claims that it in fact never published a report numbered 13. One of the many excuses given by the Air Force was that there was never a number 13 because of superstitions about the number. One of the many arguments against this excuse is that the government had never before cared one wit for superstition, and why should they all of a sudden do so now??? Several years went by with this being the pat excuse until June of 1977, when the report came across my disk at Security Services with a disposition order to read and analyze. The report was an annotated version, with photographs and various scientific data reports on findings of research that was contained within the publication. Among the photographs were several of Aliens that were being autopsied and some that appeared to be alive. Much of the data it contained dealt with the autopsy findings and a great deal of technological data. Much of the technological data dealt with the research performed on the recovered vehicles or space craft and there was some mention of animal and human mutilation, with the report of several incidents. This in itself wouldn't mean a great deal, were it not for the fact that during the past twelve years there have been several attempts on my life. These attempts, I believe, have been in order to keep me quiet about what I saw. Shortly after my viewing of the documents I was, without warning, released under duress from my job and deported from the country without even being able to say good-bye to my wife and children, who remained in England, and who are still there to this day. MY BEGINNING ASSOCIATION WITH APRO For the record, and also to clear up certain rumors that have been flying around for the past several years the following details certain circumstances that took place from 1977 to 1981. I add this since I am the focal point for several of the nasty rumors that have been flying concerning my validity and the validity of my reported viewing of Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. Very shortly after my forced return to the United States and my subsequent return to Tucson Arizona. I had the occasion to be present at Pima Community College for a lecture that was being given by Stanton Friedman, on the subject of UFOs. Because of my personal experiences it is understandable that I would be extremely interested in the lecture, thus my presence. During the course of Stanton's lecture I found that there were certain things he said that I wasn't to terribly impressed with. Not, mind you, because he was a bad speaker, on the contrary, he was an excellent speaker. But more because the information that he was imparting was inaccurate, based on what I at the time knew to be true. One point did come up during the course of his speech that struck home. His comment that Blue Book Report #13 did not exist. I knew this to be a fallacy as I had read the report several months previously, and at the end of his lecture I approached him and told him so. During the next several hours, Stanton Friedman, Jim Lorenzen, and Allen Benz grilled me extensively at the APRO offices while recording the entire session. Allen Benz, now the president of the Foundation for UFO Research in Tucson will verify this fact. During the interview I imparted everything that I could possibly remember concerning the incident and then left, not to return for several months. I remember this period of my life extremely well as I was approaching my first christmas without my family and shortly after that my twenty-fifth birthday. Which for some reason was extremely traumatic for me. In short, it was one of the worst years of my life. I had been forcefully separated from my family, and had very little communication with them. I was reaching an age when most men had a home, family, and all of the mundane problems that go along with it, and I wanted very much to have a piece of the same thing. I was extremely confused because I didn't know or understand why all of this had happened to me. I came very close to committing suicide that year, so my recollection of it is very clear. It wasn't until several months later that I began to realize just exactly what was happening, and as a result I began to seek out answers. Occasionally I would stop by the APRO offices and talk with Christine Panter, the secretary that worked there, and go digging through the files trying to learn everything that I could on the subject of UFOs. While contending with my own problems of trying to find the answers as to why I had lost my family, and slowly discovering that the government was in fact responsible for everything, I was inadvertently fighting for my own life. On several occasions, without realizing the true cause of it, I began to experience a series of potentially fatal accidents and the loss of several extremely good jobs. On one occasion my apartment caught fire, destroying everything that I had, and killing a pet hamster. At the time the fire started, I would have normally been asleep as it was my usual habit to stay up until the early hours of the morning working on various projects for a small leather business I was in the process of starting. That day however, I was spending the night with a friend, taking care of work that he had offered me at his home. A lucky circumstance? I suppose it would have been except the Tucson Fire Department determined that it was arson. On one other occasion I was driving to Sierra Vista, Arizona, on the back of my motorcycle, to visit with my father at his office. While driving down Interstate 10, a big black limo (a continental I believe) began pacing me at the edge of town, and followed me almost the whole distance until there was no traffic for several miles in either direction, whereupon it began trying to force me off of the road by pulling up beside me and in front of me. In this case I was extremely lucky and was able to ride into the desert where the car was unable to follow. On the return trip, my father followed me closely in his car to make sure that it didn't happen again. Over the years that have been over 15 attempts on my life, the most recent being in December of 1988. THE TROUBLE WITH APRO/BILL ENGLISH THE GOVERNMENT AGENT It was over a period of four years that this continued off and on. During all of this, Allen Benz and myself became friends and on occasion I would do some work for APRO and at the same time help myself financially when the opportunity arose. One such occasion resulted in my having to travel to Los Angeles to act as consultant and representative of APRO for Barry & Enwright Productions. Barry & Enwright were in the process of Producing a pilot program for television entitled "Strange as it Seems." This was to be their answer to the then popular program, "That's Incredible." Unknown to me at the time, they had also contacted Dr. J. Allen Hynek of the Center For UFO studies, and who's name figured so prominently in the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, as it was he who had also read the report and stated that although he had not seen the evidence first hand, felt that everything in the report was true. Dr. Hynek and I sat in the green room for the better part of an hour while waiting for our appearance on the stage, and I asked him about the report and why it was that he and the government denied it's existence. At first he tried to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about, and told me not to bother him. It wasn't until I became angry and told him that I had seen report #13 and analyzed it for the government while working for Air Force Security Services in England, and that his signed initials and signature was all over the damned thing, so not to even try denying it to me. that he finally admitted to it's existence. But, he also said that he would never admit to it publicly, and would call me a liar should I try to get him involved in anything. I asked him the standard question ;"why me? Why was I the one to have to analyze it and lose everything? His answer...."Somebody had to do it" Very shortly after this, Allen Benz and myself became embroiled in an internal conflict with APRO which resulted in several law suits. Contrary to the belief that Coral Lorenzen would have had people believe at the time, we were not government agents, and we were not trying to take control of APRO. During the course of his duties as APRO Librarian, Allen discovered that the organization was in serious danger of losing it's non-profit status and that the then listed board of directors were in danger of losing considerably more than that if APRO were ever sued. When Allen approached Jim and Coral Lorenzen with this problem he was completely ignored. After it became apparent to him what the situation was he came to me. After carefully reviewing the documents and the records of APRO, we discovered that the organization was in fact in violation of the non-profit status as there had not been an election of new board members for over a period of five years, and that the annual report that was required by the Arizona State Corporation Commission had not been filed for an even longer time. This clearly was a violation and APRO technically had lost it's non- profit status. At that point, if APRO were ever sued by anyone, anyone at all, the members of the listed Board, under which, APRO continued to operate would have been held personally liable and any and all of their personal assets could have been forfeit should a suit gone against them. It was because of this, and the fact that the Lorenzen's refused to take any action on the matter, that Allen and I decided to push the issue and force a vote of a new board of directors. With this in mind, Allen and I began to send out proxy forms to the general membership to force a board election. It was never our intention to take control of APRO, but rather try and force the organization and the Lorenzen's to meet the regulations as set down by the ASCC so that there could not be any repercussions on the governing body. Unfortunately we got beat at our own game. Unknown to us Jim had gone to the Post Master in Tucson and managed to convince him to route all of the Proxy forms back to him rather than to Allen and myself as they had been addressed. When it came time for the meeting Jim voted the proxies that he had in his position and we were left with egg on our faces. Not content with that, Coral then started publishing defamatory statements in the APRO News letter concerning Allen and myself, saying that I was an agent of the government who's only purpose was to destroy APRO, and claiming that Allen was duped by me, which in turn forced us to seek legal counsel and bring suit against them for slander. I was unable to continue with the suit as other problems arose at that time that forced me to leave Allen pretty much taking care of the whole thing and shouldering the financial burden as well. In the interim, Allen's lawyer apparently got them to retract their statements under the threat of suit, but at the same time Coral then got one of her cronies in California to file suit against Allen and I in a California court. All of this was unknown to me at the time as I was then on the run. Additional details of what took place after that are with Allen Benz. I GO ON THE LAM While all of this was going on there were other matters taking place that I had to deal with. Most notably that of Col.Robert Black, and his former Operations Sgt. from RAF Chicksands. Apparently, shortly after my forced departure, they to were forced to leave under pretty much the same circumstances. Some how or other they were able to locate me and we, after much suspicious repartee, agreed to take a serious look at the situations that had arisen. Black had gotten information that some where along the edge of the White Sands Missile Test Range there was an alien craft that had been buried because it was simply to big to transport. We didn't know at the time whether or not it was true, but being the fools that we were, we decided to check it out. I sold my business and the others put up their share of the money to purchase a van and have it specially equipped with such things as ground radar (marine radar system for private boats), magnetometers, gravitometers, sound detectors, and infrared sensoring devices. We also carried in the van metal detectors, water, food and camping equipment. After linking up with them in Belen New Mexico, we traveled in the van around the entire perimeter of the Test range, going up to the Trinity Atomic Test Site and working our way down to Alamogordo, New Mexico, where we then entered through the White Sands National Monument late in the evening. We proceeded to the northern most boundary of the monument where we then entered the test range. We had been on the range approximately an hour and a half at the time. I was outside of the van, about 500 to 1,000 meters in front, with a metal detector checking to see if I couldn't find any kind of metallic object that would give any indication as to the possible finding of the alien craft. We did this as some of the information Black had, indicated that the craft had crashed somewhat closer to Holloman Air Force Base than any other place. As I was walking in front of the van, Black and the Sergeant were riding in it, following me with the headlights on so that I wouldn't step on anything without seeing it first. It was here that I heard a familiar sound that instinctively made me scream incoming and hit the dirt face first without even thinking. It was an incoming rocket that hit the van, blowing it up and killing the two of them. There can be no mistake that they were killed as there was absolutely nothing left of the van except debris. At this point, after assessing the situation quickly, I took off in a westerly direction, not wanting to be next on the hit parade. For the next several days I avoided helicopters and what appeared to be search parties, traveling only at night until I made it off the range and onto a highway, where I hitched hiked back to Tucson, and ultimately to the home of Wendelle Stevens. When I arrived at Wendelle's I told him everything that had taken place and then got him to drive me to a girl friend's house where he dropped me off a couple of blocks away. It was then that I determined that they, whoever they were, knew who I was and where I was at. It was time to disappear. To accomplish this, I began by breaking off my relationship with my girl friend at the time, and moving to a small trailer on the west side of town, where I then packed all of my belongings or sold them off. I then, after a period of several days took a bus to Phoenix, where I arranged to have myself arrested by the phoenix police on some outstanding traffic tickets, and put in the Phoenix municipal jail. I then paid the fines and returned to Tucson, by private car. I was establishing a trail at this point in order to throw off anyone that might be following or trying to trace me. Within twelve hours of arriving back in Tucson, I took a back-pack with clothing and limited food supplies and struck out across the desert toward San Diego. Traveling at night and sleeping during the heat of the day. When I arrived in San Diego I then made my way up the coastal highway toward Los Angeles, stopping at the camping sites along the way that are available by the California Parks and Recreation Department. When I arrived in Los Angeles I then spent the night in a shelter for street people and then the next day looked for a better situation in which to live for a while. I found it in the form of an establishment called Hudson House. Which I must say was an inspired stroke of genius on my part as it was most likely the one place that no one would think to look for me. Hudson House was and I suppose still is a halfway house for gays trying to make it away from their families. And I must say, much to their credit, for those who are not gay but are in need of help. As I'm not gay and had made no bones about the fact that I was extremely heterosexual, I felt that this was the one place no one would think to look for me. I was right. After finding a job at one of the many local restaurants in the Hollywood area, I lived there for a three month period, where upon I then contacted my mother who by this time had retired to a farm outside of Lynchburg, Virginia, and then moved on to Virginia, where I spend a year working on the farm for her and then moving into town where I began working over a seven year period at various radio and television stations as an announcer and cameraman. From this point on, until my re-emergence into the public eye in Sept of 1988, there is not a great deal to tell other than on two occasions I was once again made aware of how precarious my position was when someone unloaded several thousand rounds of machine gun fire into the home I was living at in a small town in Virginia, and when some one tried to run over me on the streets of Lynchburg. Twice! I COME OUT OF HIDING In July of 1988, I received a rather nasty note from my father saying that a John Lear had contacted his office about me. He said in the note that he had not told him anything about me nor where I was at and left it up to me to decide whether or not I wanted to contact Mr. Lear. I did nothing for about a month and a half. And at that point I had no intention of doing anything at all. Then one night, while working at the radio station I was employed at, a news clipping from the ABC pre-feed wire service came to my attention. It was a statement by Walt Andrus that there were in fact Aliens from space on the planet earth. This surprised me greatly as I felt that it was extremely out of character for some one of Walt's renown and status within the UFO investigative community. After giving it much thought I decided to place one call to Wendelle Stevens, who I had not spoken to since my disappearance. Wendelle, needless to say, was extremely surprised to hear from me as he assumed that I was dead. I asked Wendelle to keep my where abouts private for the moment, and he offered to send me a copy of Bill Steinman's book "UFO Crash at Aztec", where, he said, I played a fairly large part in one of the appendixes. Several days later I received the book from Wendelle and sat down to read what was said. At that point I wasn't quite sure what to think, but decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to come back out in the open in order to test the waters. I then contacted John Lear, posing as an Attorney representing "Mr. English's interest", in order to find out what it was John wanted with me. After talking with John for a few minutes I hung up and began to consider the possibilities and what to do about it. After several more weeks I then contacted John and he ultimately came to see me in Virginia, where we Discussed Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. The UFO Legend "In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Che'bar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God." "As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze. And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled liked burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: their wings touched one another; they went everyone forward, without turning as they went. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back. Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. And each went straight forward; where ever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. In the midst of the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning Now, as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for the each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. The four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were full of eyes round about...(Ezek 1:1-18) And Ezekiel saw the wheel...and this is the wheel that he saw....It seems interesting that Ezekiel's description of his vision of god and the angels fit almost exactly with the descriptions that many modern day individuals give when describing UFO sightings. There are differences of course in language, however this description seems to be fairly easy to interpret. At the risk of alienating those of you who are fervent christians, what Ezekiel described was a UFO. If one were to look closely at the legends of the various civilizations they would see that throughout recorded history, there has been a constant flow of UFO sighting. Or at least let us speculate such for the sake of argument for right now. The legend of Flying Saucers or UFO's seems to have been perpetuated down through the ages in one form or another, but always leaving open many questions that seem to have no answers. One such perpetrator was author "Eric Von Daniken", who wrote his series of books based on speculations concerning ancient South American artifacts and ruins. Von Daniken wrote that based on these artifacts and ancient writings that seemed to be without translation, that there was the possibility that ancient astronauts in fact visited the earth before recorded history and that it was these astronauts that were in fact worshipped as gods by the ancient humans. This is of course a very basic summation of what Von Daniken was trying to postulate in his work, and it would have been a theory that could have opened new areas of research were it not for the fact that Von Daniken himself stated later that his work was not factual and was not researched as he would have had everyone believe that it was. It was unfortunate that this was in fact the case, as Von Daniken's work did in fact cause several people to speculate on the possibilities that we had in fact been visited in the past by alien races. But! At the same time, let me ask the question...Why not?? Why is it so difficult for us to accept the possibilities of this having in fact happened? EXAMPLE Let us take for granted, for the moment, that all legend is based on some sort of fact. And that although legend loses in the translation from the original language, and certain aspects of it change through the ages, for the most part the legend is true. Now let us examine one legend in particular, which is probably the most persistent through the ages...The Lost Civilization of Atlantis. The legend states that Atlantis was a civilization far advanced for it's time and even for our time. The legend itself is the stuff that movies have been made of, and speaks of wondrous technologies that make the technology of today look pale by comparison. As far as we have been able to determine, the legend of Atlantis had been handed down from Socrates and the ancient Greeks. But the tale of Atlantis was in fact an ancient legend, even in the time of Socrates. Let us examine another possibility ... The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt. For the most part, the construction of the ancient ruins of Egypt can be explained in fairly conventional terms, there are however certain aspects that cannot be explained. Let us examine Cheops Pyramid. Records indicate that in construction time, most pyramids were started at the time the Pharaoh came to the throne of the Egyptian Empire, which at the time was considerable for the ancient world. Egypt being a moving force in the ancient world, and remaining at the pinnacle until the rise of the Roman Empire. Most Pharaohs personally supervised the construction of their final resting place, believing that the quality their life in the next world would depend on how sumptuous their funerary arrangements were. Of Course being the ruler of an Empire made it possible for them to spare no expense, and in many cases the expense exceeded the entire amount of money that it would take to run their Kingdom for ten years or more. It was not uncommon for millions of dollars and thousands of lives to be spent during the construction of royal tombs. Bearing this in mind, records indicate that Cheops Pyramid or the great pyramid as it is now referred to, was begun well into the rule of the Pharaoh Cheops and was completed well before his death. Yet it is one of the largest and most perfect of ancient structures. Another point to consider among others is that the sand-stone used in it's construction was several hundred miles away from the pyramid site and was transported down the Nile River one block at a time. Also the fitting of each block of the construction was so perfect that even today it is impossible to even fit a piece of paper between each block. And finally, the fact that during the construction of the great pyramid it remained in a perfect square at it's base with less than 1/2 inch deviation. Something that's very difficult, even by using today's construction methods. Add all of this to the fact that the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead gave very specific instructions as to the preservation of the body with the view toward eventual resuscitation of the living body and the reunion of the spirit with the body. Most ancient religions talk of life after death in some form or another, but none speak of life returning to the body and none other has taken such pains in preservation of the physical remains, using techniques that even today have not been duplicated in even the best of laboratories. Remembering all of this, let us ask the following questions: 1.) Why has ancient legend persistently told stories of wondrous technological advances that we have yet to discover, and speak of them as though they were and accomplished fact of life for that time.? 2.) Why do many legends of the past seem to have the same ring of familiarity in that they all seem to contain the same elements and those elements all have a ring of truth. (whether its because of repetition or some other reason) Answers?? At this point there are no answers to the questions, and for the most part we as researchers and investigators aren't even sure of what questions to ask. MODERN LEGENDS During the past twelve years, (since 1977), there have been a number of modern legends that we can trace back to their source. We are fortunate that we can trace them back to their origins as it then makes it possible to investigate them thoroughly. And I must admit that I am the perpetrator of at least one of those legends. Which I will go into further in a few moments. One of the most prevalent of these legends beside the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 is the Dulce Report of Paul Bennewitz. Bennewitz originally reported that he had been able to identify a secret alien base through the investigation of an abduction case that involved a woman and her son. During the course of his investigation he apparently was contacted by aliens and given all kinds of information. This in itself cannot be placed among the classification of cold hard evidence, but one interesting point is that during the course of his investigation of the woman and her son certain evidence came to light that more or less set the UFO investigative world on its ear. The subject was hypnotically regressed by Dr. Leo Sprinkle of Illinois University. During the course of the regression the subject recounted how her and her son were traveling home on a lonely highway in the Southwest when they came across what she described as a cattle mutilation. Specifically they witnessed a calf being mutilated. As they observed what was taking place, they were seen and ultimately taken captive themselves. The subject related how she and her son were taken in separate vehicles to what she assumed was an underground installation. While in the installation, the subject related how she was subjected to a physical examination and questioning by the aliens. who she described as being small, about four feet in height, and she was questioned extensively. During the course of all of this she apparently broke away from her captors and ran aimlessly down several corridors until she came to a room that had a rather pungent odor. She described it's contents to Dr. Sprinkle, and told him of seeing a vat in the middle of the room. It was from this that the odor was coming from. She described how when she came closer to the vat she saw what appeared to be the body parts of a human male floating in an amber liquid. She went on to describe how she was found and the consternation her presence in the room caused the aliens. Apparently, shortly there after, she and her son were returned to her car without any conscious memory of their experience. It was this, coupled with his supposed contacts with the aliens that caused Bennewitz to initially send a report to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization detailing his experiences and contacts with the Aliens. During the course of all of this it was initially thought that Bennewitz was himself, not all together there. In point of fact shortly there after, Bennewitz was involuntarily committed to the New Mexico State Hospital for the mentally ill, where he was forced to undergo treatment for an undetermined mental disorder. He was in fact involuntarily committed a total of three times, where finally on the third time it is reported that he underwent electro-shock therapy. When Bennewitz was finally discharged from the hospital he became a recluse from the UFO investigative field, publicly stating that he would no longer have anything to do with UFO's and that he suggested that all of those involved in this field of research should also get out and let the government do the work that they are more knowledgeable in. In short, he was saying that the government knew what they were doing and we should stay out of it. If this were all there was to it then there would be no further investigation into the reports that Bennewitz filed. However, as time passed, more and more evidence came to light that proved Bennewitz was not insane and that there was some substance to everything that he had been saying all along. Another modern day legend is that of myself and my Viewing of Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, of which your already aware. A New Ally Once again, time has proven to be an ally in that evidence has come to light over the past several years, that has substantiated everything that I initially said about my viewing of Report #13. In addition, one other person, William M. Cooper, formerly of the United States Naval Intelligence section, CINCPAC, has come forward and admitted viewing an earlier version of the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. With the exception of some minor differences that are explainable by the fact that the copy I saw was an annotated version, Mr. Cooper's and my comparison match almost perfectly. And I might add that Bill Cooper and I were talking about all of this long before we knew that either existed. While Cooper saw his version of the documents in the early seventies while working with the Pacific Fleet, I saw my version of the very same documents while in the employ of the U.S. Air Force Security Services Command at RAF Chicksands in England in the mid-seventies. I, however, was the first to speak out publicly when I attended a lecture given by one Stanton Friedman, a nuclear scientist, who at the time was devoted to finding the truth about UFOs and the possible implications of their existence. I might add at this point, that over the years certain others have claimed to have seen these same documents, but have in fact been nothing more than dupes of certain dis-information specialist that are under the employ of the U.S. Government. PART TWO THE CURRENT UFO STATUS Currently there are several factions within the investigative community. One is the UFO and government involvement faction,the others are, UFOs and Mutilations, UFOs and Abductions, UFOs and Alien presence, and UFOs and Metaphysical phenomenon. Of the five, UFOs and Government involvement, and UFOs and Alien Presence are the two most heated factions at the moment. Sort of them verses the rest of the Investigative Community. AT PRESENT At present the factions concerning government involvement and alien presence are fighting it out to see who comes out on top. Government involvement while acceding the fact the government is involved in some sort of cover-up will not come to any kind of agreement with Alien Presence, saying that the Alien Presence faction is alarmist and lacks solid evidence to prove their claims. The Alien Presence faction on the other hand, claims that the Government Involvement faction is in the employ of the Government itself and therefore they are working to hide the fact that there are indeed alien bases on earth and in the United States, and that the government had at one point entered into a treaty with these aliens, allowing them to commit atrocities against the populace of the United States, to have and occupy secret bases in exchange for technological information and data. The Government faction on the other hand, once again admits to the possibility of the government covering up Alien Craft and that type of thing, refuses to believe or accept the possibility of Alien Bases. Which would seem to be cutting off their noses to spite their face. How can you have one without the other??? The rest of the factions tend to look at their particular philosophy as the true discipline and ignore all the others. A CLOSER LOOK Let us take a closer look at one particular section of each faction and see if it is not possible to make a clear as mud situation a little muddier. During the past ten years, Bill Moore has publicly stated that he believes that I have been lying all along about my viewing of Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. On one occasion that I know of, he told two engineers from Aerojet Corporation that I admitted to him that I and Gerry Schultz were doing LSD when we wrote my report on Viewing Report 13. Aside from the fact that it was an out and lie and I never admitted any such thing to him, Gerry Schultz and I were certainly never together long enough to do anything other than him ask me questions while I was digging through files at the APRO offices. And for the record I categoricly deny the use of any drug other than those perscribed by my doctor. And since I have developed a phobia about medications very rarely do I even do that. To add insult to injury, Moore then had the brass balls to produce that piece of shit television program of his called "UFO Cover up", and have his two song birds, Falcon and Condor, parrot everything that I had been saying since 1977. If I'm a liar,then I ask the question of what does this make him?? It seems pretty odd that Moore would say these things about me, and then in the next breath repeat everything that I have been saying for over ten years as though it were facts that he alone discovered. I don't know about you, but it's would seem pretty inconsistant with everything that he's been saying. And even were I not in the position that I am in, I'd raise an eyebrow or two in question. On the other side of the coin there is John Lear, Bill Cooper, Paul Bennewitz, and a host of others, including myself who are of the firm belief that there is in fact an Alien presence here on earth, and that it has been covered up for some time. In all fairness though, let me point out that Moore and company has come up with some interesting documents that appear to show the existence of an organization known as MJ-12. But at the same time, he claims that Bill Cooper's research and data on MJ-12 is fraudulent and fabricated, and that Cooper doesn't know what he's talking about. Inconsistancy after inconsistancy.... EXAMPLE Lear, Cooper, and Bennewitz (most notably Lear and Cooper) have evidence that ties together everything they are saying with other evidence from different sources. In the later part of June of 1977, I reviewed and analysed the document now known as the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. In this report I viewed several hundred photographs, reports, incidents, and comments made by certain individuals who had themselve in turn read the report. At that time I had no knowledge what so ever of Bill Cooper, and he had no knowledge of Bill English. Bill Cooper on the other hand, had read his version of Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 four years previously. Without us knowing one another, nor having ever been in contact until 1988, the information that we both had matched almost exactly with a few certain exceptions. And those exceptions can be accounted for in that the version I read, was annotated and contained additional information that Cooper's did not. Additionaly, even though neither of us have been able to produce the document itself, other information and records have come to light that upholds the voracity of our claim. But rather than leave it there, research investigators from around the country, who have dealt with the nuts and bolts of investigation, have come up with sighting data, and most particularly Close encounter data that strengthens our position. Paul Bennewitz of Albuequerque, New Mexico, can no longer be tagged as a nut case as he was originally, for the simple fact that upon investigations performed as recently as this year,other sources who were present at the time of his experiences, have verified and confirmed everything that he has said. With regard to Alien Bases and occupation, I offer for your consideration the following. In May of 1980, Dr. Leo Sprinkle, renown pyscotherapist, and professor at Illinois State University, hypnotically regressed one Myrna Hanson, a bank teller of Eagle Nest, New Mexico. Hanson and her son were driving home one night along the highway between Roswell(?) and Eagles Nest, New Mexico, when she and her son, who was riding with her came upon what she later discribed to Sprinkle during their regression session, as the brightest light that she had ever seen. Apparently she stopped the car and heard what sounded like a cow screaming in agony. Hanson then discribed how she got out of the car and saw what appeared to be several little men surrounding the cow and using instruments of some type to mutilate it. Sprinkle's original notes of the session go on to discribe how she reacted and what she discribed seeing. In her discription she detailed how she and her son were taken aboard separate craft and then taken to some sort of base. During the course of the examination and insertion of some sort of metallic object she managed at one point to break away from her captors and ran down several halls until she came to a room. In the room she discribed seeing what appeared to be some sort of a vat filled with an amber liquid. As she came to the vat she saw what she discribed as the body parts of a human male floating in the liquid. When her captors finally found her they were extremely upset and took her back to the examination room where they completed whatever it was they were doing, and then returned her and her son to the car where they were captured. There is of course a great deal more to the story, but the crux of the matter is that her discription of what see saw matches perfectly with countless other incidents that have taken place over the years, and supports the claims that have made by both myself and Bill Cooper. In short, the evidence is there if one cares to examine it and then colate it against other evidence. Oddly enough, this seems to be the one thing that Moore and company has refused to do, saying that there is no need, because none of it is true. Frankly I am astounded at this attitude. For all intent and purpose it has become apparent that if these individuals are not in the employ of the government, their only interest in UFO investigation is the monetary return that it can offer them because of the interest of the general public. I agree that some measures must be taken in order to financually support active research and investigation, but not at the expense of fooling the people and ignoring the true facts of what is happening around us. This is remincent of the British Priminister, Harold MacMillum going to Munich to get a peace agreement with Hitler and coming home to tell everyone that there is nothing to fear. The germans want peace and there will be peace in our time. That peacelasted over four years and cost thousands of lives... I ask where Bill Moore's evidence is....so far he has done nothing more than spout retoric but hasn't even bothered to present even a comparison of data or circumstances that will at least open the door to more questions or discussion. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPLICATIONS Let us assume for the moment that everything that Cooper,Lear, Bennewitz, and English have been saying is true. Then let us assume that the Aliens have in fact been present here on earth since before the beginning of our recorded history. If you think about Ezekiel and the wheel that he saw, then it's not that difficult. Several factions, the metaphysical in particular, have stated that there is evidence indicating that the Aliens constructed a being, either human or whatever, and placed him here on the earth. And that this being was named Jesus Christ. Then let us examine the Old Testament versus the New Testament bible. The Old Testament Bible speaks of a vengeful god and the New Testament speaks of a forgiving god. Frankly I lay no claim to being a theologian. But there are others within the investigative community that indicate there is in fact evidence that the Aliens have been conducting bio-genetic experimentation on humans, and also there is indication on a more practical level that the ever popular "Grey Aliens" are in fact biological constructs that serve as the work force of a higher order of Alien Beings. If this is true, then why is it so difficult to believe in the other possibilities??? Once again let us assume that it is true. SCENARIO Evidence has come to light that proves the Aliens have in fact been on earth since before the beginning of recorded history. Further evidence has come to light that shows in fact the Aliens were influencing the social and religious developement of mankind and posing as a higher being, or God. Additional evidence shows that Jesus Christ was placed on earth by a different faction of Alien Beings. RESULTS? Everything that mankind has believed for the past six thousand years is nothing, therefore there is no god and the word of god as it is written in the books and laws of the major religions of the world is a false dogma handed down by beings from another planet. Aside from the fact that mankind had been betrayed for over six thousand years, the laws and moral codes that have governed him as a race are going to be looked upon as lies. It doesn't matter that those laws and codes were ultimately responsiable for his developement into what we refer to as modern civilization. Additionaly the panic and anarchy that would result from such a discovery would for the most part do one of two things. It would either distroy us as a race, or it would finally break down the barriers that have developed between us as humans and draw us together. Which it would be, is undeterminable until such time that it happens. With regard to moral codes and values...It would be evident that the moral codes we as a race had lived with through the ages, would have been those of a different race of beings and not our own. Would we accept them once again as ours, or would we fall into chaos trying to reestablish a code more suited to our own needs as human beings? And would those codes be far different from what we had originally lived with? CONCLUSIONS The first and most obvious conclusion that we must make is that there are no real answers at this point in time. The next conclusion that must be made, is that we have barely even started to learn what questions we must ask. This must be accepted before anything else can be accomplished. For the first thirty years of UFO investigation, we have slowly and painstakingly gathered evidence, reports, and sighting information not really knowing why, but doing so because of our nature as human-beings. To what purpose?? It is evident that we as investigators must now come together and create a situation that gives complete access to documentation and information. We must set a policy as to review of information and public awareness, and ultimately action concerning release of such information.We must review the implications and the reactions to the release of said information, and it's effect on the general public. At this point I would also point out that there is a better than average chance that the public might handle it better than the government would give it credit. Due in part to the efforts of the government, as it would seem that the government for the past thirty years has made every effort it can to desensitise the general public. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
