The Secret Space Age - Olav Phillips
1.
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS ONLY DARKNESS
It is said that space is the last true frontier. It is an environment which humanity has not yet conquered. Its size is vast and its borders incalculable, at least to the common person. It is that mystery and immensity that drives people all over the world gather by the flame to just sit in awe of its depth and immensity.
For 100 years humanity has tried to conquer space. Starting in 1957 with Sputnik, its faint single piecing the inky blackness and telling us there is something now up there.
Two months later Sputnik 2 was launched, proving life could survive in space. Laika, the heroic dog, proved that if properly protected life was capable in space. Granted Laika died several hours later, but the beachhead was established. Life could be sustained and if something could live for several hours than life could be sustained for several days, weeks, months or even years.
At that point life in space became an engineering problem and engineering problems can be solved.
It took another four years before humanity dared send a human into space.
In April of 1961, Yuri Gagarin achieved immortality as the first human into space. Riding the flames of his rocket into low earth orbit, Gagarin stayed aloft for 108 minutes and did one full orbit before plummeting back to the safety of the Earth.
For the rest of 1962, a race began to emerge as the Soviet Union fought for space supremacy by launching several more missions in to the high frontier. Meanwhile, the United States was able to launch Alan Shepard in Freedom 7 and later John Glenn in Mercury.
From this point the race intensified further as the United States accelerated its public space program, culminating in the Apollo program and later, a landing on the moon in 1969.
It was during that landing that Neal Armstrong uttered those immortal words, One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
The world rejoiced as the moon, our closest celestial neighbor, had been conquered. Or had it?
Since that time a different story has begun to emerge. The moon landing is now rocked by controversy which has lead to legions of people who not only believe the moon landing was a hoax but that during the last 70 years, a systematic program of disinformation has occurred. This has, in turn, lead to a line of research which has attempted to prove on one hand that we never went, but on the other hand maybe we were already there.
One can see this cover-up emerge even while the Apollo program was under way as the Soviets launched the Salyut program.
It is not widely known, but three of the Salyut stations were in fact part of the Almaz
program. The Almaz stations were crewed by Soviet military personal and were armed by a large cannon.
The presence of the Alamaz forced the United States Air Force to respond with the MOL
or Manned Observation Laboratory program, which sought to place our own battle stations into orbit.
So began, quietly, the weaponization of space…
It was that act of the weaponization of space that has left the last great high frontier to carry forth the Cold War, at a large scale.
Military planners sought to establish space fleet and moon bases, as if out of a science fiction novel. Battle stations and robotic hunter killer satellites circling quietly over our heads as we slept, confident in our supremacy while the Soviets were confident in theirs. All the while the world slept.
This is a story about secrets and hidden things. It is about the very real possibility that there are indeed devices, people and projects underway which have indeed colonized space. Finally, this is about the story which had been given to the public I actually just good science fiction, because all is not as it would seem.
My intention is not to provide concrete evidence that a secret space program exists. To be honest with compartmentalization and special access programs, that is a fool’s errand. My intent is rather to discuss some of the programs, people and operations that did happen but were suppressed.
I intend to construct a framework, demonstrating that 4by 1969 the United States government as well as the Soviet Union was far beyond the moon landing missions. I also intend to demonstrate and explore this notion that there is indeed a secret space age in to which the public has never been given insight.
The world is a strange place and we are only beginning our descent

COMING OF AGE IN THE SECRET SPACE RACE
UFOs are one of those things…those things people always latch onto. They are prolific in science fiction and once people learn of my interest, always a topic of conversation at parties. Statements like, I saw a light in the sky,
or This funky triangle flew over my head
abound. My life is bereft with these statements, but there never seem to be a conclusion or end game. This has made UFOs a highly debated topic.
Like many in Ufology, I started out as a firm believer in the alien hypothesis. This means that I believed that all those triangles and funky lights in the sky were alien in origin. But I was riddled with doubt. What if they weren’t aliens? It’s a question which has vexed me for the last decade because in time I started to believe a percentage might not be. Now in some circles, that is a heretical statement, but a statement I believe to be true never the less.
Research into the Secret Space Age started for me many years ago. I had been gifted a 10th generation VHS copy of the long sought-after Science Report: Alternative Three.
Back then it was just a kitschy 1970s era conspiracy mockumenatry shown on East Anglia TV.
As time went on and I started to really watch it something dawned on me. Maybe Alternative Three was fundamentally true? It sounded structurally plausible. This lead to an even more disturbing thought: maybe some UFOs were not alien in origin but instead man made. But for what purpose? That was the question which launched the descent into where I find myself now.
Space is a funny thing, they call it the high frontier and like many I had dreams of space shuttles going to the moon. I eagerly anticipated taking my seat on a Pan-Am shuttle to a space station, then scooting across the surface much as Haywood Floyd did in Kubrick’s amazing, and conspiratorially controversial, 2001: A Space Odyssey. A say conspiratorially because that film, like so many other, has played a part in this new secret space age.
So what is knocking around in the high frontier, and what does it have to do with movies or the enigmatic Alternative Three?
Sometime in the late 1990’s rumors started to emerge of a secret program, utilizing high technology to conquer space and possibly other planets. According to myth, there was even a secret space fleet, replete with high tech vehicles, regularly leaving the planet for parts unknown.
It was also the time of the SERPO question, the idea that military personnel were being assigned to an exchange program with aliens on another planet called SERPO. While fascination the supposed SERPO program started to died away rumors emerged that it might have been a hoax. The hoax labeled killed investigation into SERPO, but what if SERPO might actually have been real?
Then it happened. In 2002 a lowly systems administrator from Scotland, utilizing only a 56k modem cracked the question wide open. His name was Gary McKinnon and what he found was so amazing that it caused the full weight of the United States government to come after him.
McKinnon was accused, and did, hack into a series military and NASA computers but it wasn’t the hacking that makes his story interesting. It’s what he found. McKinnon claims to have found references to a program called Solar Warden, which was nothing less then a secret space fleet darting around the space high above us. McKinnon also claimed to have found manifests and crew transfer notices for a series of ships and installations which don’t exist here on Earth.
Solar Warden had entered our psyche and popular culture. Researchers rushed out to discover more about Solar Warden and discovered that a program under SDI had existed called Solar Warden. In fact an enterprising journalist from the Huffington Post filed a freedom of information act request and received a very interesting response.
Darren Perks in a blog posting from 12/7/12 stated:
About an hour ago I spoke to a NASA rep who confirmed this was their program and that it was terminated by the President. He also informed me that it was not a joint program with the DoD. The NASA rep informed me that you should be directed to the Johnson Space Center FOIA Manager.
I have ran your request through one of our space-related directorates and I’m waiting on one other division with the Command to respond back to me. I will contact you once I have a response from the other division. Did NASA refer you to us?
Interesting response, and proof of an
