- For over the last half century the United States Government
has heavily looked into the subject of UFOs, but why? Project Blue Book
was known to the public as the government's investigation into this phenomenon,
and they come up with absolutely nothing. The members of Project Blue Book,
which was headquartered at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, investigated
over 12,000 cases, and only a little over 700 remained unidentified. This
was explained away because there way lack of evidence in these sightings,
and these could probably easily be explained away as well.
-
- So Project Blue Book, formerly known and Project Sign
and Project Grudge closed in 1969. Since 1947, Project Blue Book, then
Project Sign, was investigating these mysterious "flying saucers"
which were smearing the headlines for many years. The Air Force determined
that nothing had any evidence of anything alien or extraterrestrial related
to these crafts, so investigations were cancelled, and as said by the government
themselves, no other government agency took in an interest in investigating
them since the closure of Blue Book in 1969. Many branches of the United
States Air Force told me this. And I even received this response straight
from the Pentagon, Wright Patterson Air Force, and many others. Was this
a true statement, which was also said in their UFO "fact sheet?"
Let us take a look and see.
-
- The Defense Intelligence Agency, their mission is to
provide timely, objective and cogent military intelligence to the war fighters
-- soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines -- and to the decision makers and
policymakers of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Government.
Did they take an interest in UFO sightings? They sure did, and The Defense
Intelligence Agency has hundreds upon hundreds of blacked out investigations
into the UFO phenomenon. With date ranges of all the way back in the early
60's when the Defense Intelligence Agency came into operation, heading
straight through the 70's, 80's, and well into the 90's. Yet, heading back
to what the government says, and this statement does come straight from
the Pentagon, "no government agency has taken an interest in investigating
[UFOs] since the closure of Blue Book in 1969." Something does not
line up, because here we are, faced with hundreds of documents slamming
right through that 1969 cut off date, and going right into being in just
the last few years.
-
- So now the question arises is, "What is in these
files?" Well, to give a little background to this subject, I have
been doing research now approaching my fourth year in investigating UFOs
and many other subjects through the Freedom of Information Act. I have
never seen documents this blacked out, to date. I've amassed over 18,000
pages of material, and the UFO documents from the Defense Intelligence
Agency from just the last ten years, is the heaviest blacked out material
I have seen.
-
- Mostly withheld due to national security concerns, the
documents talk about many UFO sightings and events from many different
countries. Firstly, in Jordan, civilians talk about seeing unidentified
lights from the suburbs of Amman. This incident occurred in July of 1990.
One small segment of a paragraph of a four page document was visible. All
the rest was blacked out.
-
- Secondly, a UFO sighting in Hong Kong just north of Chongqing.
This was an incident which told of a UFO about 20m long, with orange and
pale green lights. It flew silently at an altitude of about 50 m from southwest
to northeast and disappeared in three minutes. All other information in
this document was completely blacked out.
-
- Thirdly, there was a document, which came with thousands
of questions, and not one answer. A report, with many portions withheld
at the agency, of a UFO conference in Beijing. The report briefly talks
about possibly hosting the world's first UFO conference, in hopes that
this world conference would be in China. Nine lines in this entire document
were readable, the other large paragraphs were entirely blacked out.
-
- The list goes on and on. With so much black on these
pages, why even send them at all. They ask more questions then give answers.
With these three documents I have outlined above, these are three out of
the hundreds which are online at The Black Vault (http://www.blackvault.com)
-
- Documents, which have not even been talked about, are
those from the range of years in the 1970's. The 1970's had the most cases
investigated, and some may even say these were the most interesting.
-
- Complete with drawings, sighting reports, craft descriptions
and places, these reports were not as heavily blacked out as those from
the 90's, and can be read with actual understanding. Yet one thing stuck
out in many different documents, and that was the routing codes and transmittal
codes. These are codes on the top of each document, which shows which agencies
received the report, and in turn has copies of them. Many of these UFO
reports at Air Force Bases as one of the receiving agencies yet on the
contrary, that exact base told me they had no documents on UFOs. Why don't
these stories and facts line up? The other thing that sticks out is the
amount of agencies, which received these reports. If there is no interest
in UFOs, why are they collected at all?
-
- Included in the Defense Intelligence Agencies files was
the report I briefly talked about in last months "Inside The Black
Vault" and was an extremely interesting report regarding a UFO incident
in Tehran back in 1976. This was a UFO which hovered over Tehran for many
hours, and the Imperial Iranian Air Force got many calls about. So, they
went outside the base to discover what it was, and sure enough they saw
it too, and were very curious.
-
- So they scrambled an F-4 Phantom jet to go take a closer
look. As it was approaching the object, the pilot reported it being the
apparent 1/3 the size of the moon. It was getting closer and closer, and
all of a sudden, all controls including UHF communications shut down. When
the jet turned away from the object, it regained all controls.
-
- Thinking this was a plane malfunction, the pilot returned
to base, and another F-4 Phantom was launched to go check out this mysterious
UFO. When the plane was approaching the UFO, it noticed a second object
come out of the side of the initial craft, and then a third object come
out of the bottom, and hovered. The pilot thought that this could be a
defensive maneuver, so it arms an AIM-4 missile to launch. As he is ready
to launch, all communications and controls shut down. The pilot noticed
that the third object that came out of the bottom of the craft, landed
somewhere in the vicinity, but he still had no controls. As the F-4 jet
turned away from the UFO, sure enough it got back all communications and
controls. It headed back to base, landed and was very confused. The UFO
has now closed up, and dissapeared. Later that morning, they headed out
in a helicopter to the area where they thought the craft may have landed.
They didn't see much, except a small shack about a mile away. They landed,
and asked the residents if they saw anything, and they said not really,
just strange lights through the windows and lots of loud noise.
-
- This incident was widely disseminated through the government,
and has sparked a lot of interest. On top of that, this story is just ONE
story out of the thousands that have been discovered. Yet, going back to
what the Air Force says, there is no evidence to warrant more investigation
into the subject, and further no government agency has taken an interest
in UFOs since then. This agency alone proves that statement false, and
almost every government agency proves it false, including the National
Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation
and so many more.
-
- Yet something was strange that was scattered through
these reports from the Defense Intelligence Agency, and something that
I am still researching to this day.
-
- The discovery of Project Moon Dust, which was an investigation
that was held to investigate fallen space debris. This was proposed to
the United States Government back in 1953, and its objective was to retrieve
and analyze fallen space debris. This sounded harmless enough, but as I
looked through the documents some more, I found pictures of the actual
objects, spheres that feel from the sky, and many other odd objects. Yet,
this was all legitimate research held by the government.
-
- Though one thing seemed strange, which was the date when
this was proposed. This was proposed in 1953, about four years before the
launch of Sputnik. Sputnik launched on October 4, 1957, which was four
years after the proposal of Project Moon Dust. Doesn't seem right here.
Here we have a satellite, the first ever to be in orbit launched in 1957,
and the project to research debris from fallen space objects such as satellites,
but four years prior in 1953. There was nothing else in space... right?
-
- The question then arises, was Project Moon Dust investigating
something more than just fallen satellite debris, and knew that there was
something else to be recovered and analyzed? Or was this just a precaution
of WHEN satellites would start flooding our space skies, we could recover
those objects and analyze them for our own development and advancement.
-
- With these questions come more questions, and more and
more. However, when you take these unanswered questions and put them together
like puzzle pieces, you start uncovering what may be a shrouded truth.
Answer? We don't have one yet, but as we continually build our puzzle,
we see more and more that there is something more to the UFO phenomenon
then just easily explainable objects.
-
- Along with the Defense Intelligence Agency, there are
many other agencies as well that held their own investigation into the
UFO phenomenon. In the next few months, catch more of "Inside The
Black Vault" and the agencies secrets which you do not hear about
on your nightly news on CNN or MSNBC. ___
