For all its faults, I nonetheless trust the government more than some anonymous guy on the internet dismissing official reports out of hand "just because", or the grandstanding of the UFO echo chamber.
You are in for the shock of your life. Many are. It's you folk that the information is chiefly directed at. My dad is 92...the greatest generation etc etc....if he came to realize what our gov did to those folks in Roswell...I fear for him. We were much more trusting during those time periods. Even our higher ups trusted the gate-keepers:
"Air Force interceptors still pursue UFOs as a matter of national security to this country and to determine technical aspects involved."
Major General Joe W. Kelly, 1957."The Air Force had put out a secret order for its pilots to capture UFOs. For the last six months we have been working with a congressional committee for investigating official secrecy concerning proof that UFOs are real machines under intelligent."
Major Donald Keyhoe, during a live TV broadcast on CBS in 1958 in which he was pulled from the air when he began to deviate from the prepared format of the programme."It appears to be a metallic object...tremendous in size… directly ahead and slightly above… I am trying to close for a better look."
Captain Thomas Mantell, USAF. These were his last words as he closed in on a UFO in 1948. Minutes later his plane was to crash and he was to lose his life."I was amazed at what I saw. The amount of debris that was scattered over such an area...The more I saw of the fragments, the more I realized it wasn't anything I was acquainted with. In fact, as it turned out, nobody else was acquainted with it...There was a cover up some place about the whole matter."
Major Jesse Marcel. US Army Intelligence Officer. Extract taken from a video interview. This testimony is a direct contradiction to the testimony of the Air Force regarding the nature of the recovered debris at Roswell in 1947."And don't tell me they were reflections, I know they were solid objects."
Lieutenant D. A Swimley, USAF in 1953 following the sighting of 8 UFOs that were confirmed on radar and witnessed numerous other people including commercial pilots and police officers.
"Headquarters wouldn't let us go after it and we played around a little bit. We got to watching how it made 90 degree turns at this high speed and everything. We knew it wasn't a missile of any type, so then we confirmed it with the radar control station, and they kept following it, and then it crashed somewhere off between Texas and the Mexico border."
Colonel Robert Willingham, USAF from an affidavit in the 1970's when discussing a sighting of a UFO whilst he was navigating an F94 jet on September 6th 1950."A saucer flew right over (us), put down three landing gears, and landed out on the dry lakebed. (The cameramen) went out there with their cameras toward the UFO…. I had chance to hold (the film) up to the window. Good close-up shots. There was no doubt in my mind that it was made someplace other than on this earth."
Colonel Gordon Cooper, Mercury and Gemini Astronaut describing an incident he witnessed during the 1960's during a videotaped interview for the DisclosureProgram."The UFO was bouncing around the 747. (It) was a huge ball with lights
running around it… Well, I've been involved in a lot of cover-ups with the FAA. When we gave the presentation to the Reagan staff, they had all those people swear that this never happened. But they never had me swear it never happened. I can tell you what I've seen with my own eyes. I've got a videotape. I've got the voice tape. I've got the reports that were filed that will confirm what I've been telling you."
John Callaghan, FAA Chief of Accidents and Investigations during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.
The security guard called and said, "Sir, there's a glowing red object
hovering right outside the front gate. I've got all the men out here with
their weapons drawn." We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high ranking Air Force officer) said, "Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam."
Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program."Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs."
CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.
"Reliable reports indicate there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds and controlled by thinking intelligences."
Navy Admiral Delmar Fahrney in a public statement during 1957.On September 23, 1947, General Nathan Twining, head of Air Materiel Command, wrote to Army Air Command, specifically General George Schulgen, Head of Intelligence. He stated in summary: "The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious." Moreover, "There are objects probably approximating the shape of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as man-made aircraft." They were "Metallic or light reflecting surface . . ." and "Circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed on top." The saucers were not associated with sound, and their normal speeds were often in excess of 300 knots.
About 2 months after the vehicle had crashed near Roswell, NM.."We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981) "When he (Pres Eisenhower) said the main thing we had to fear (farewell speech) was the military industrial complex, he wasn't kidding, and he had the (ufo) subject matter we are talking about in mind. He was quite explicit about that."
-Brigadier General Stephen Lovekin US Army Signals Staff under IkeOn March 5, 1942, George C. Marshall writes a top-secret memo to the President, which states: "regarding the air raid over Los Angeles it was learned by Army G2 that Rear Admiral Anderson recovered an unidentified airplane off the coast of California with no bearing on conventional explanation… This Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources they are in all probability of interplanetary origin."
"While working under President Eisenhower,I discovered that Eisenhower had a keen interest in UFOs, but that he came to realize that he had lost control of the subject."
Brigadier General Steven Lovekin"I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information (extraterrestrial materials) is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above Top Secret".
Barry Goldwater -Battelle, Lockeed Martin, Boeing.... know the "secret"..."Coming to grips with the reality that our planet is not the only one harboring intelligent life the universe."
Franklin D. RooseveltFeatured in: Franklin D. Roosevelt QuotesIn the 50's even, gov officials were more open regarding the subject. During the '60's, gov contractors assumed much of the legwork and projects went "black". IE few knew they even existed. Not much said at that point.
Then we had Lazar in 1989 and by this time Roswell witness Jesse Marcel begin to speak. Steven Greer became knowledgable on what was taking place and ran with it. The gate keepers tightened the straps.
Way too many credible folks speaking on it at this point with more to emerge. That is behind us now.
"Roswell, 1947, there was a uap (ufo) that crashed, in fact there were 2 uaps, 1 crashed and one flew away and the other one did not and was recovered by the US GOVERNMENT."
- Lue Elizondo-former director of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program-August 20, 2024
Are A&M's core values..optional? Who has the POWER to determine that? Are certain departments exempt? Why?
