Exopolitics Magazine Edition 1 by British Exopolitics Expo

Welcome to the first edition of Exopolitics
magazine, a magazine dedicated to the study

of UFOs and the progression of Ufology.
Within these pages you will find articles on
some of the topics and themes that will come under
the lens at the Annual British Exopolitics Expo and
the Extraterrestrial Communication Conference in
the summer of 2014.

Religion, which is the relationship of a being to its Creator. Here we have a
hodge-podge of superstition dressed up in pageantry giving lip service to something in which very few people actually believe, and practically no one knows
anything about. Every great religion says Love Thy God but how many understand what this means?
Wilbert Brockhouse Smith
By listening to and in some cases, vicariously re-living
the experiences of contactees such as Travis Walton,
Leah Haley and others, we are challenged to realise
and accept that we are indeed not alone. Non-human beings have been interacting with us even manipulating us for centuries. This is just one aspect
of how our consciousness can be changed, but there
are many other examples of things we can study that
can force us into a new understanding of our true
nature and our place within the universe.
Thinking of UFOs and ETs

The UFO/ET subject is hugely complicated and filled
with contradictions, puzzles and challenges. For all
those people that explore this field and whose curiosity or experiences propel them past the study of
lights in the sky, they will start to encounter something more profound.
Their understanding of the universe will most likely
change perhaps gradually, or even quite suddenly.
They may therefore experience a huge shift in their
consciousness. Similarly, for people like me who have
an itch and start to scratch through the veneer of
reality, a change in consciousness often occurs we
see a larger reality, with more distant and stranger
horizons. These new perspectives make us think and
even behave in new ways.
In many cases, things that once seemed important to
us become less and less significant. The age old questions of What am I doing here? Where did I come
from? Is there a creator? can take on a new dimension as we begin to consider the possibility that we
are part of a larger, grand Cosmic Plan.
What Wilbert Smith Learned ... over 50

years ago!
In talking about the UFO/ET subject and consciousness, I feel I cannot pass on an opportunity to mention
Wilbert Smith, the Canadian Radio Engineer, inventor
and contactee.
Through the work of Grant
Cameron and others, I
learned of Smiths writings
about The Boys Topside,
as well as his realisation
that metaphysics and a
study of consciousness
were of huge importance
in understanding the whole
UFO/ET phenomenon. (I hope that Grant Cameron
will also be addressing this in his own presentation at
Exopolitics 2014.)
Smith realised that we have to consider ourselves in
a much larger scheme of things. Smith said that he
was told by his contacts that all of us have come here
to experience a sequence of events and that some
things in this sequence must not be changed.

through some kind of connection to a larger reality. This could
be described as talking to god or
undergoing an out-of-body experience, where you may zoom away
from yourself and get a sensation
of what it is like to have another
form of being.
Transcendental Experiences
from Fungi and Plants
John Lash also discusses the
role of psychoactive mushrooms
(and plants) in shamanic practices which, it would seem, are all
about changing our self-awareness and interacting with other
realms. In Western Cultures (such
as our own), experimentation
with these sorts of substances is
frowned upon and, in the main,
discouraged. Also, possession of
some substances having psychoactive effects is legislated against
in our culture. Is someone or some
group worried that experiencing
these other realms can catalyse
the acquisition of profound new
knowledge which would result in a
new understanding of ourselves?
Another substance that has
received more attention in recent
years is Ayahuasca a brew of
plants which is made by Shaman in

Peru. People can drink this as a way
of ingesting DMT (di-methyl-tryptamine) a substance which has a
profound effect on a persons conscious experience. When a person

is under the influence of DMT, they

report various unusual effects
such as coming into contact with
intelligent but distinctly non-human entities. Some people seem
to be able to communicate with
their spirit guide or even with an
entity known in Gnostic teachings
as Sophia a fallen goddess
who now inhabits the earth. (This

Wingmakers and the Lyricus
Near Death Experiencess

Often written off by the medical
profession as an aberration in
the brains operation caused by
hypoxia (a lack of oxygen), Near
Death Experiences (NDEs), I have
concluded, also offer us important and potentially transformative
knowledge about ourselves.
WingMakers is part of the

mythological expression of
Lyricus that typically accompanies its first exterial expression
within a species. It is the calling card, announcing its initial
approach as it treads softly
among the species to which
it serves. WingMakers is the
mythological expression of the
underlying structure of the Lyricus Teaching Order. It is symbolic of how Lyricus is brought
to the planet.

Some years ago now, I was told

about an unusual Website called
Wingmakers (wingmakers.com).
Thought by some to be an Elaborate Marketing Scheme, this site

a mythology and a central race

grand portal of consciousness.

A Summary by Bill Hicks

So, in studying the UFO/ET phenomenon honestly, we are soon
confronted with questions about
our full selves and what we are
made of. We must consider questions of time, evolution, mind,
body, soul and consciousness.
In the 1990s I became aware of
comedian Bill Hicks who developed quite a big following in the
UK.

- The Origin, Identity, and Purpose of MJ-12 by Milton William Cooper, 1989
I first heard Bill Coopers
voice in 1994. The above

quote, spoken by the controversial ufologist and
whistleblower at a 1989
MUFON lecture, was used
in a piece of music by the
band Eat Static on a track called Abnormal Interference on their 1994 album Implant.
It was possibly the first time Id heard it suggested
that extraterrestrials would seek to influence human
culture through the manipulation of people at such
an all-encompassing level. It was Coopers claim that,
not only did the US government know from very
early on that extraterrestrial contact was going on,
but it was interfering with society, and was outside of
the ability of the government to control it. The tone
implied that this was something to be afraid of.
Disks, cigars and saucers

On June 24, 1947, American aviator and businessman Kenneth Arnold from Boise, Idaho witnessed ten
unusual objects in the skies over Washington, USA.
He had been flying his private plane near Mt. Rainier
in western Washington State when he encountered
flying craft that were half-moon shaped, oval in
front and convex in the rear. The unusual aircraft he
described as something like a pie plate that was cut
in half with a sort of a convex triangle in the rear.
According to Arnold they flew like a saucer would
if you skipped it across the water. It is perhaps
ironic that it was the press who, when reporting
his sighting, misquoted Arnold and coined the term
flying saucer that would come into widespread
use.
Interestingly, Arnolds description of the craft in this

case bears a close resemblance to the advanced
It is of course possible for governments and other aircraft design created by Walter Horton and his
terrestrial organisations to utilise these same facets
of human society for the perversion of reality and the
manipulation of others. So, is there any evidence of
this outside of unverified claims of alleged insiders?
Where could we start our search for signs of it?
Well, the controversial contactees of the 1950s
come to mind. Their claims of extraterrestrials living
on planet Venus for instance, a planet that later
space exploration showed to be inhospitable and far
from an abode of recognisable life, make those initial
claims seem a little foolish on the surface.

In 1954 it would seem, something had changed, and open (acknowledged) development of this

because it did work?

A Human Being from

another World!
On November 20th, 1952 George
Adamski set out into the Mojave
Desert, with his secretary and
the owner of the caf where he
worked, on a sky-watch looking for
flying saucers.
At 8am that morning they met
with a number of friends, including George Hunt Williamson who
would later become a well-known
contactee himself, and together
they drove towards the town of
Desert Center, California before
heading northeast to the town
of Parker in Arizona, where they
stopped for a meal before beginning their skywatch.
It was then that, according to
Adamski:
riding high and without
sound, there was a gigantic
cigar-shaped silvery ship
At which point Williamson asked
is that a spaceship? Adamski
yelled Someone take me down
the road, quick! That ship has
come looking for me and I dont
want to keep them waiting!
Jumping in a car with two of his
intrepid sky-watchers they drove
half a mile down the road and,
with the object shadowing them,
Adamski told the driver to turn off
the road. The car pulled up and
Adamski exited the vehicle telling
his companions to join the rest of
the group half a mile away from a
safe vantage point.

In his writings and lectures

Adamski always went out of his
way to make sure his followers
understood that the being he encountered was an actual physical
entity.
Space Brothers
In common with other contactees, Adamski claimed that in his
one-to-one meetings with benevolent aliens he was imparted
with messages to be shared with
humanity. The beings, often
referred to as Space Brothers
in contactee literature, would
give contactees stern warnings
about humanities new technologies such as the use of atomic
weapons. However, they would
also present an offer of a fraternal
assistance towards our moral and
technological improvement as a
species.
As the proclamations of Orthon
via Adamski unfold we hear that
Orthon himself was not strictly an
extraterrestrial in absolute origin,
but had been born originally on
the planet Earth and had become
ascended spiritual adept that, at
the time of Adamskis meeting
with him, had already passed over
to the higher plane on the planet
Venus.
Theosophy Revisited
George Adamski was a follower
of the beliefs of the Theosophical
Society of the late 19th and early
20th century. In this belief system,
ascended masters, often referred
to as simply brothers, would
offer teachings and assistance
much like that offered by the 20th
centurys contactees liaisons
who would often be referred to as
space brothers.
According to Madame Blavatsky,
the founder of the Theosophical
Society, the central theosophi13
cal teachings of the society were

the result of her instruction in
an ancient wisdom which, she
claimed, was the source of the
spiritual themes and ethical ideals
of all the worlds religions.
Throughout history, according
to Blavatsky, ascended masters
taught humanity theosophical
truths, and she claims that her
own instructions were presented
to her by a similar hidden adept
or ascended master of which
such figures as Buddha and Jesus
were included. While the masters
were usually considered to reside
in Tibet, it was Blavatskys belief
that certain masters, including
those she was in contact with,
resided on Venus.
It was Blavatskys belief that the
true founders of the society were
two ascended masters called Koot
Hoomi (Kuthumi) and Morya, and
that the societys very existence
was as an instrument to carry
out the work of these ascended
masters. The teachings of these
masters were conveyed through
two Anglo-Indian Theosophists,
A. P. Sinnett and A. O. Hume, and
were compiled in a document
known as The Mahatma Letters.
The mission of the society was
therefore to communicate these
teachings to humanity and thereby
contribute to the moral and spiritual evolution of the species.
These ascended masters were
living, breathing, human beings
whom had evolved through many
reincarnations and had acquired
and become a custodian of an
ancient wisdom.
They now sought to impart that
wisdom to humanity in order to
lead it into a new age of spiritual
and global community.
A Contactee Doctrine
While there are some differences
between the theosophical masters
and the early accounts of aliens
given by many contactees such
as Adamski, these differences are
quite superficial when compared
to the similarities.
Both the ascended masters and
the aliens are seen to be highly
spiritually evolved and more
technologically advanced. They
are both apparently benevolent
beings with a deep concern for
humanitys salvation and its
disregard for the planet Earth.
The principal religious themes
of the Theosophical Society, described by Madame Blavatsky in
her book The Secret Doctrine,
bear many close similarities to the
beliefs and intentions of Orthon
and also extraterrestrials who
visited other contactees. The principles of Theosophical Society as
described by Blavatsky are:
guides.
In addition to the spiritual aspect
there is a notable physical aspect
to them; they are considered to
have a better understanding of the
physical nature of the cosmos (a
natural philosophy perhaps) and
also utilise this wisdom in their
superior science and technology.
It would appear therefore that
George Adamskis claims regarding his Venusian contact was, at
one level, a re-interpretation of a
pre-existing philosophy of Theosophy in which ascended masters
of the Venusian variety came to
be called the Space Brothers.
Alleged Military Figures

Influence on Adamski
Back in the Palomar caf in 1946,

according to Adamski, it was a
chance meeting with six military
officers that first suggested to him
the idea that the flying saucers and
cigar shaped craft that were being
witnessed were of extra-terrestri1. To form a Universal Broth- al in origin. Prior to this meeting

2. To promote the study of
Aryan and other Scriptures, of
the worlds religion and sciences, and to vindicate the importance of old Asiatic literature,
namely, of the Brahmanical,
Buddhist, and Zoroastrian
philosophies.
3. To investigate the hidden
mysteries of nature under every aspect possible, and the
psychic and spiritual powers
latent in man especially.
The ascended masters hold a

deep concern for the welfare of
humanity and operate essentially as supreme moral and spiritual
While conversing with diners on

the subject of the sighting of a cigar-shaped craft over San Diego
several weeks earlier, Adamski
notes that:
Six military officers who were
sitting at another table listened
intently to all points brought
up. Then one of them spoke up
and said, It is not as fantastic
as it sounds. We know something about this. I immediately asked what knowledge they
had, but they would not reveal
it. Yet they assured us that the
ship we had seen and were discussing was not of this world.
14
Adamski also claims to have been

asked by people working for the
military to attempt to take photographs of flying saucers:
Then late in 1949 four men
came into the caf at Palomar
Gardens. Two of them had been
in before and we had talked a
little about the flying saucers.
This day it was around noon,
and raining -- really pouring.
They ordered some lunch and
we began talking about flying
saucers again. One of these
men was Mr J. P. Maxfield, and
another his partner, Mr G. L.
Bloom, both from Point Loma,
Navy Electronics Laboratory
near San Diego. The other two
men were from a similar setup
in Pasadena. One was in officers uniform...
They asked me if I could cooperate with them in trying
to get photographs of strange
craft moving through space,
since I had smaller instruments
than those at the big Observatory. I could manoeuvre mine
more easily than those on top
could be moved, especially my
6-incher, which was without a
dome. I could point it as much
as pointing a gun at ducks...
I asked them where I should
look to be the most likely to
see the strange objects which
they were asking me to try to
photograph. We discussed the
pros and cons of the possibility
of bases being on the moon for
interplanetary craft. And finally the moon was decided upon
as a good spot for careful observation.
Researcher Joseph Farrell points
out that it is unlikely that the
military would be in such need
to ask an amateur astronomer
and photographer to photograph

these elusive craft unless it was
trying to manipulate him.
Post-NICAP UFO Reports

The aforementioned inventor,
Townsend Brown had founded the
civilian unidentified flying object
research group NICAP in 1956
the first such organisation that
would be a model for later groups
such as MUFON.
After leaving the organisation
Brown would continue to assess
UFO reports. To help her father,
Browns daughter Linda would
read through these reports to help
organise them. She recalls that her
father would often use the term
Adamski Scout Craft in reference
to certain descriptions. She also
handled a model of one that he
kept on his desk only to be told
that it was one of the most expensive paperweights in the world.

Flying Capacitors
Townsend Brown had continued

to work on the development of
technology using the phenomenon that he discovered in 1918
while a student at California Institute of Technology. This early
work led to a career on classified
military projects and he is linked
to work on the Philadelphia Experiment for U.S. Navy. While the

Although it is not known if

Townsend Browns path ever
crossed with that of George
Adamski, it is known that Adamski
visited the Bahson labs on September 12th 1960, after Brown
had parted company with Bahson.
The Photographs
At his initial encounter with

Orthon, Adamskis request to
take photographs was apparently refused. However, he claims to

seen in the photograph taken by
Stephen Darbishire in Coniston in

Another Time and Place

Like the DeLorean car in the 1984
Spielberg movie Back To The
Future, kitted out by a fictional inventor (Dr. Brown) with its
famous flux capacitor, Adamskis 1950s depiction of an alien
spacecraft looks dated and a
symbol of its time.

It is Joseph Farrells premise that

the craft that George Adamski
witnessed if he witnessed
anything at all was a terrestrially built flying saucer. This would
perhaps account for the retro
appearance of the craft; whose
style indicates a hint of the limitations of the technological age of
the 1950s.
It has been noted by other
researchers that the UFO
phenomenon appears to go
through phases where significant
aspects of UFO sightings can
dominate the phenomenon only
to disappear over a period of
time. It is interesting to consider
that rather than the phenomenon
itself being the driving force of
this change, it is possible that the
change is indeed driven by our
own society.
This need not necessarily be due
to terrestrial UFO vehicles and occupants following human societal
trends. If consciousness is indeed
a factor, and the UFO phenomenon somehow draws from our
own consciousness as suggested
by some researchers, that could
perhaps manifest as significant
trends in the phenomenon; either
driven by our expectation of it or
by drawing from the witness in its
manifestation. However this is just
speculation.
Another Dimension
What we do know, is that George
Adamski made it his mission to
continue an established tradition
of contact with others specifically through channelled communications with the ascended
masters of theosophy.
It is here that the similarity between
this aspect of Adamskis contacts
and that of other contactees lies.
George Hunt Williamson, who was
with Adamski immediately prior

to his initial contact with Orthon,
claimed to have had contact experience himself; however this was
limited to channelling. The British
contactee George King channelled and claimed to meet with
Venusian masters. Unlike Adamski
however, neither King nor Williamson attempted to claim that these
masters where entirely physical

Looking back at Contact By Robbie Graham
Looking back at Contact

By Robbie Graham
In a time when the idea of alien visitation is becoming inseparable from Transformers and Battleships, the 1997 movie Contact seems more rare and precious
than ever...
Based on the novel by famed astronomer Carl Sagan, the 1997
movie Contact has become a firm favourite in the UFO community. Sagan, of course, was a vehement UFO sceptic, and so it is
ironic that Contact connects so profoundly with so many in the
UFO field; ironic, but perhaps not surprising considering the
movie lends itself freely to UFOlogical readings.
In the movie, SETI scientist Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) whose

character is inspired by real-life former SETI director Jill Tarter
discovers an alien signal beamed from Vega, a star in the constellation of Lyra, some 25 light years from Earth. Her discovery
and its subsequent public disclosure by President Clinton constitutes proof that we are not alone in the universe and captures
the imagination of the entire planet, sparking fervent scientific,
political and religious debate. Soon, Ellie and her
team realize the signal is actually a complex schematic for a transport pod designed to carry one person
to a destination unknown. That destination, it transpires, is Vega itself, and is to be reached via multiple
wormholes. Naturally, it is Ellie who takes the cosmic
voyage, and, at the end of her epic journey, she finds
herself in an elaborate simulacrum of a childhood
memory: a warm beach in Pensacola, Florida. It is
here that she speaks face-to-face with an alien intelligence which has assumed the form of her dead
father, whom she lost as a child: We thought this
might make things easier for you, he says, smiling
gently. No little green or Grey men for Ellie, then; no
flying saucers, no motherships or gleaming alien cityscapes, only a mirage of Earthly forms created for her
personal comfort. Youre an interesting species, an
interesting mix, he tells her. Youre capable of such
beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You
feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only youre not. See,
in all our searching, the only thing weve found that
makes the emptiness bearable, is each other. She
longs to learn more before being sent home, but
is told This was just a first step. In time youll take
another this is the way its been done for billions

of years. Small moves, Ellie, small moves. And so an
individual is selected for contact and provided with
philosophical nuggets but zero physical evidence of
their alien encounter, before being left to tell their
story to whomsoever will listen. Ellie, it seems, has
much in common with the contactees of UFO lore.
I cant prove it
Back on Earth, during a government inquiry into her
claims, Ellie is reminded by a panel member that
she has no evidence, no record, no artifacts. Only
a story that, to put it mildly, strains credibility. Ellie
is asked: why dont you simply withdraw your testimony, and concede that this journey to the center of
the galaxy, in fact, never took place? She responds:
Because I cant. I... had an experience... I cant
prove it, I cant even explain it, but everything that
I know as a human being, everything that I am tells
me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever... A vision of
the universe, that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and
insignificant and how rare and precious we all are! A
21
vision that tells us that we belong

to something that is greater than
ourselves, that we are not, that
none of us, are alone! I wish I could
share that. I wish that everyone, if
only for one moment, could feel
that awe, and humility, and hope.
But... That continues to be my
wish.
servers her transport pod travelled nowhere at all. It is implied

that her experience occurred in
the space between spaces. Certainly it was beyond her limited
comprehension and of those she
would seek to convince of its actuality something UFO witnesses
can relate to.
Ellie is visibly frustrated. She has

experienced direct contact with an
alien intelligence, but she has done
so in a manner that flies in the face
of our preconceived notions (a
saucer on the White House lawn,
for example a notion, which,
ironically, was borne of cinema),
and thus her claims are dismissed
by official culture.
Contact and Clinton
An intriguing UFOlogical side-note

on Contact relates to President Bill
Clinton. When in the movie the
President announces the discovery of the alien signal, the Clinton

edge that is as old as humanity
Although Carl Sagan was UFO
sceptic, the screenwriter for
Contact, James V. Hart, is a
self-proclaimed UFO believer. Not

bearing on the film. Any UFOlogical readings we might ascribe to

future...
However, these words, although

actually spoken by Clinton, were
presented out of context in the
movie. While in the scene in
question it certainly sounds like
Clinton is delivering a cautious disclosure of contact with an alien intelligence, in reality his comments
were delivered in August 1996
and referred to the possible discovery of fossilized microbial life
in a Martian meteorite. Director
Robert Zemeckis simply lifted

this part of Clintons speech and
used it to heighten the believability of his fictional movie. It was a
decision that landed the director
in hot water with the White
House, which issued a complaint
to the films producers citing unauthorized use of the Presidents
image. In truth, Clinton was
probably delighted to be seen on
the big screen announcing alien
contact. By his own public admission, the Democratic President
was and is fascinated by the idea
not only of extraterrestrial life,
but of UFO visitation; he has even
spoken publicly of his frustration
at being stonewalled on the issue.
At a speech in Belfast in 1995, the
President made a point of bringing
up the famous Roswell Incident
of 1947: If the United States Air
Force did recover alien bodies,
they didnt tell me about it, either,
and I want to know. He was even
more direct in a question and
answer session following a speech
in Hong Kong in 2005. When asked
about Roswell, the President
replied: I did attempt to find out
if there were any secret government documents that revealed
things. If there were, they were
concealed from me too. And, if
there were, well I wouldnt be
the first American President that
underlings have lied to, or that
career bureaucrats have waited
out. But there may be some career
person sitting around somewhere,
hiding these dark secrets, even
from elected presidents. But if so,
they successfully eluded me.
A contemplative film calling to
mind the likes of Close Encounters
of the Third Kind and even 2001: A
Space Odyssey, Contact is a spectacular sci-fi that milked every
penny of its $90 million budget
to gross in excess of $171 million
worldwide. 17 years on from its
22
release Contact remains distinct

from most all other movies to have
explored the idea of human/alien
interactions. It belongs to that
lonely group of films which has
dared to dream that life beyond
the stars might one day extend
to us a peaceful hand. Although
from a screenwriting perspective
it is arguably more challenging to
explore the positive implications
of otherworldly contact than the
negative explosions being easier
to pen than profound socio-political or spiritual debate Contact

is testament to the fact that the
challenge can be met with gusto,
and to both critical and commercial success. Heres hoping that,
in the years to come, Hollywood
will be more inclined to shake ETs
hand rather than to blow it off
with a bazooka and a one-liner.

Extraterrestrial Communication Conference

Saturday June 28th, 2014
In 2014 we have two major events
in the British Ufology calendar. The
first sees the return of our Extraterrestrial Communication Conference on Saturday June 28th, 2014.
The first event features lectures
by experiencers and researchers
into anomalous phenomena and
extraterrestrial contact and communication.
Mike Clelland is a talented illustrator and an avid outdoorsman,

and many of his experiences

of unusual events that seem
directly intertwined with the UFO
reality and in his talk at the Extraterrestrial Communication Conference he will take the audience
on a journey through that world
of high strangeness and present
some fascinating insights into the
true nature of his experiences.

Dr. George King: Contactee with the Gods from Space By Richard Lawrence
Dr. George King: Contactee with the

Gods from Space
By Richard Lawrence
Prepare yourself! You are to become the voice of Interplanetary Parliament.
The Master Aetherius, to Dr. George King
Prepare
yourself! You are to

become the voice of Interplanetary
Parliament. These words, spoken
by an interplanetary intelligence
known as The Master Aetherius,
to Dr. George King on May 8th,
1954 in London, triggered a series
of interplanetary contacts which
would continue regularly until his
passing in 1997. This is one of the
great contactee stories in my
view the greatest. Controversial
even in UFO circles, his cosmic encounters are nevertheless a mustknow for any serious ufologist.
Fusing spirituality and cosmology
with straightforward commonsense, Dr. Kings legacy continues
unabated through the organisation he started in 1955, The
Aetherius Society, which has headquarters, branches and groups in
Europe, North America, Africa and
Australasia, and members in many
parts of the world.
Dr. King was born in 1919 and his
childhood, sandwiched between
two world wars, was spent in the
English countryside, wherever his
fathers work as a village schoolmaster took the family. The hardy
conditions, especially in North
Yorkshire where he spent several
of his formative years, were not
helped by his poor health, giving
him a practical grounding in the
necessities of life. But even then
his central focus was on spirituality and the nature of existence. He

was also developing pronounced
healing and psychic powers at an
early age.
As a Quaker he took a principled
stand in the Second World War, as
his father had done in the First, by
playing a non-combatant role in
the fire service, of which he was a
section leader during the London
Blitz. The shocking human suffering he encountered only furthered
his pursuance of truth through
personal realisation. It was thus,
at the end of the war, that he
turned to the little known practice
in those days of yoga.
mental and physical yoga

exercises. He practised these for
approximately eight hours a day
for ten years, an extraordinary
commitment for a westerner to
make, especially at that time. To
pay the bills, he worked in a variety
of jobs, particularly as a driver.
Those who question why Dr.
King would be chosen to be the
channel for extraterrestrial intelligences, using trance medium-ship
and telepathy to do so, should
really supply a list of alternative
candidates. Who else in 1954 in
London, or any other city for that
matter, had trained so intensively
and so long in the advanced practices necessary to become Primary
Terrestrial Mental Channel as the
Gods from Space described him? I
have yet to hear of one.
Most of us, who have written and

spoken in the media and other
public forums about UFOs, are
all too familiar with the closedminded disbelief, which can
assail us, especially from the
establishment. Imagine then
declaring the truth about flying
saucers and their interplanetary

markedly different from that of

still receives political resistance.
He was mercilessly ridiculed in
Fleet Street, but his bravery shone
through and he gave regular
demonstrations of his cosmic
medium-ship, often in the Caxton
Hall in Westminster and, on one
occasion, on television for the
BBC.
The messages he received
revealed the truth about extraterrestrial spacecraft and their
reasons for being here, giving
accurate public forecasts of when
and where they would be operating around the world. As with
certain other claimed contacts of
that period, there were detailed
warnings about the use of nuclear
power. These included one sensational revelation of a nuclear
accident in the Soviet Union which
was published by Dr. King 18 years
before it was confirmed in the
western media. Even The New Scientist admitted in 1978 that they
had been scooped by a UFO.
But predominantly these extraterrestrial communications, known

as cosmic transmissions, were
spiritual in nature.
They described the multidimensional life existing throughout the
universe, even on planets which
we might consider to be uninhab-
itable. Perhaps the most contentious of these at the time was Dr.
Kings claim to be a channel for
The Master Jesus who came from
the planet Venus in the so-called
Star of Bethlehem. As controversial heretical even as it seemed
to some, the sublime voice and
moving words of The Twelve
Blessings which The Master Jesus
delivered through Dr. King in 1958,
has transformed the lives of thousands around the world and continues to do so.
Dr. Kings mission as Primary Terrestrial Mental Channel expanded
when he was commissioned by the
Cosmic Masters to climb 18 mountains in Europe, North America,
Australia and New Zealand, so
that they could be charged with
powerful spiritual energies. Additionally, Mount Kilimanjaro in
Tanzania was charged without requiring his physical presence. Designated as Operation Starlight, this
demanding and often dangerous
task was completed successfully
in 1961, since when pilgrimages have been conducted to all of
them. Thousands of pilgrims have
travelled to one or more of these

Society have already been scheduled in Britain, France, USA and
New Zealand.
of Aetherius Society teaching.

From the challenging skills of
mountaineering in hazardous conditions, Dr. King was now directed
to the arena of seamanship.
Whereas the mountains had been
charged in Operation Starlight
so that spiritual energy could be
sent by pilgrims to heal and uplift
humanity, an even greater consideration now entered the equation:
the well-being of the planet upon
which we live.
Dr. King was a champion of ecology
long before the term became fashionable. His ecology however was
not solely focused on the material
survival of the human race, but
upon the Mother Earth as a living,
compassionate, suffering Being.
He was given the mission Operation Bluewater, which took place
at sea, off the California coast and
required him to skipper a boat with
a small crew. This time the energy
was sent by the Cosmic Masters
through the waters directly to the
planet herself.
Ten years on from the initial

spiritual powers by the Gods from

Space and that a quickening of
vibrations upon the surface of
Earth would gradually start to take
place. This would mean increased
freedom of spiritual expression but
also could exacerbate the more
extreme behaviour of fanatics and
extremists. In short, the human
race would embark upon a period
which has been referred to as the
Great Change.
He identified the asteroid belt as
the planet from which the human
race originated, but which had
been destroyed through atomic
warfare. He spoke of the previous
civilisations on this Earth of
Lemuria and Atlantis which had
also been destroyed by nuclear
conflict, and warned of the same
challenge facing us today. He identified the solution to the environmental and humanitarian crisis
which overshadows our future as
being an outpouring of spiritual
energy to the world as a whole.
Dr. King had now moved beyond
being solely an instrument for the
Gods from Space to also being an
active contributor to their plan for
our world. He invented equipment
and devised missions which were
accepted by the Cosmic Masters
whose authority was always sacrosanct to him.

caused by an earthquake, hurricane or war, for example, it would
be the equivalent of hundreds
of people gathering at that exact
instant when their prayer would
be most needed and directing it
to the spot instantaneously. The
Society, which has kept logs of the
results of such energy releases,
has recorded significant outcomes
on several occasions.
Most contactees have an outstanding experience, be it a close
encounter or a so-called abduction, which they speak and write
about for many years to come.
Some, such as George Adamski
and Dan Fry, claimed to have a
number of these. It is extremely
rare though, if not unprecedented, for any contactee to have
regular communications over a
forty-three year period, as Dr. King
did up to his passing in 1997.
As a close colleague, friend and
student of Dr. King, who was in
touch with him almost on a daily
basis for the last twenty years of
his life, I can vouch for the fact
that he was always on duty.

from a master of yoga, a highly intelligent man who was not prone
to fantasy or wishful thinking. On
the contrary he was, strange as it
may sound, a very down-to-earth
person with a discerning, enquiring mind and an infectious sense

of humour. He did not seek eccentricity for its own sake, but much
preferred tradition and conformity
where possible. He disliked publicity but he recognised that he was
obliged to propagate the cosmic
message he had received without
trying to convert, indoctrinate or
recruit anyone against their will.

the last ten years of his life, with
a few advisors, to ensure that the
Society could continue without
his unique abilities as a UFO contactee. None of us were equipped
to replace him, and it would be
delusory for anyone to think
they would be in the foreseeable
future. Despite this, thanks to

him, we are still able to cooperate
directly with the Gods from Space
in no less than five missions on
land and water, without needing
a terrestrial mental channel as he
had been.

that I believe Dr. George King to be

of many others, every day.

Belief or Proof? Ufology and the Verificationists Dilemma By Grant Cameron
Belief or Proof?
Ufology and the Verificationists Dilemma

By Grant Cameron
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who dont believe, no
proof is possible.
Stuart Chase
Everyone in society today has heard of UFOs and the
possibility that this phenomenon may represent the

arrival on earth of extraterrestrials, advanced spiritual beings, or beings from another dimension.
To use a golfing analogy if I tell you I got a hole in

one yesterday, like a UFO sighting I might claim, you
can only believe or disbelieve my story. There is no
proof. You cannot know unless you were a witness,
and even then there still exists the possibility that I,
like a magician, made you think you saw a hole in
one.
Everyone inside the UFO research field is also aware

that there is a strong skeptical group of scientists that
are determined to crush any conclusion that UFOs
represent anything outside the random physical The things you base your beliefs on are the same
things that support most beliefs in UFOs.
world view.
Their major counter to UFO researchers claims that
UFOs represent something non-local and separate
from the physical world view is usually summed up
with the expression, There is no conclusive evidence
that proves the UFO claim.
This sets up a high mountain for Ufology to climb
because the skeptics are dogmatically hard liners in
their religious world view that everything is physical.
They are riveted with fear, like a small child on his bed
in the dark, waiting for the bogeyman man under the
bed to reach out and grab him.
Belief or Proof?
No one will ever prove the UFO non-local argument
to a skeptic because proof itself is illusive and impossible to prove to someone who it determined
does not to believe. Moreover, in the end everything
is belief, and proof is an elusive word with no real
meaning.
Someone told you the story of the hole in one or

the UFO and you chose to believe them.
Someone filmed the hole in one or the UFO and
you chose to believe that the film was not altered
or faked.
You assumed that the hole in one or the UFO happened because so many people have told such
stories and this represents collective reality.
Therefore understanding that only those who have
had direct experience can really know, what is the
best evidence for UFOs that support the belief that
UFOs are real non-local phenomena and probably
not from this physical world?
The Evidence
1) The Canadian government said UFOs are a reality.

2) A 43 year veteran of the CIA is
on the record that the UFO phenomenon is real and extraterrestrial.
This man, Chase Brandon, came
forward in front of millions of
people to make the statement.
He, had been a covert agent for
the CIA from 19701995, and
then became the CIA liaison man
to Hollywood. Brandon described
that period as being paid for 10
years to be the most overt face
and voice in the CIA, second only
to George Tenet
In 2005 Brandon retired but as he
described it:
No one wants to give it up
Most of us still like the work
Asked about this public statement a CIA spokesman did not

call Brandon a liar. They simply
said they could not find the files
Brandon had referred to.
The word of the president is very

important because he is the most
powerful person in the world, and
if there is any reality to the UFO
phenomena he should know.
The President is also at the top of
any agency that might be running
a cover-up such as the US military.
The president is the civilian commander of the military which
would make him in charge; if the
intelligence agencies are running
the cover-up they all work for the
president as they provide him information. That is their main job.
If the government is running the
cover-up the president is the CEO
of the government and therefore
in charge. If someone is dealing
and negotiating with aliens it has
to involve the president who is
constitutionally responsible for
any treaties or negotiations with
foreign entities.
With these points in mind on
June 27th, 1981 President Ronald
Reagan confirmed publically that
the ET story was real.
The event was the screening of
the movie ET: The Extraterrestrial in the White House theatre
by director Steven Spielberg.
There were 39 people in the room
besides the president.
Bill Gates, former CIA Director and

Secretary of Defense was asked According to Spielberg, who put his

he said it without smiling!

4) Another president who confirmed there was a solid reality to
the UFO phenomena was Jimmy
Carter who had his own UFO
sighting. According to actress
Shirley MacLaine:
He told me many times that
when I first wrote Out on a
Limb that he would support
me that it was true - there
were occupants. Why should
we be the only people in the
universe? He wanted to shine
the sunshine laws on intelligence to expose it to see how
the people would react but he
said he didnt and wouldnt
and couldnt as he explained to
me.
This statement by MacLaine is
given further support by Daniel
Sheehan, the former chief counsel
for the Jesuit headquarters in
Washington, D.C., who has testified publically on many occasions
that he worked on two highly
classified studies on ETs and UFOs
that were prepared for Carter by
Marcia Smith, whose was senior
level specialist in aerospace and
telecommunications policy at the
Congressional Research Service.
As a part of his work Sheehan
was given access to the classified
portion of the USAF Project Blue
Book in May 1977.
As to the two reports Sheehan
stated:
The first report on extraterrestrial intelligence stated
the Congressional Research
Service of the official United
States Congressional Library,
in its official report to the President, through the House of
Representatives Science and
Technology Committee, con-
cludes that there are from two

to six highly intelligent, highly technologically developed
civilizations in our own galaxy
over and above our own.
In the second report they had
drawings of different shapes
of UFOs that have been sighted, continued Sheehan. They
didnt cite any particular cases,
but they said that they believed
there was a significant number
of instances where the official
United States Air Force investigations were unable to discount the possibility that one
or more of these vehicles was
actually from one of these extraterrestrial civilizations. They
put this together, and sent it
over to the president. I ended
up seeing a copy of it.
5) President Barack Obama also
confirmed reality to the UFO and
ET subjects in statement that he
has made in public.
In a March 2012 speech in Roswell
New Mexico Obama started his
speech by telling a humorous story
about Roswell questions asked
to him by young boys. Following
this he paused before going to the
speech and stated, We will keep
out secrets here, thus confirming
that there is a secret about the
Roswell crash that he knows and
which must be kept secret.
have had to have been a discussion about it, it would have taken
place in this room.
6) Edward Ruppelt, who was the
original head of the official government study of UFOs known as
Project Blue Book, wrote in his
1956 book The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects stated that
an USAF estimation of the UFO
problem in 1948, just after the
major sightings had started, concluded it was an extraterrestrial
phenomena. The fact that the first
major investigator for the government stated that the government
knew it was extraterrestrial almost
from day one has been forgotten
by UFO history. Ruppelt wrote:
The situation was the UFOs;
the estimate was that they
were interplanetary! When
the estimate was completed,
typed, and approved it started up through the channels to
higher command echelons. It
drew considerable comment
but no one stopped it on the
way up.
7) Senator Barry Goldwater

provided a number of pieces
of evidence that UFOs are real
and that non-human entities
are involved. Goldwater is a key
figure as he held the position of
the Chairman of the Senate intelligence committee which would
have placed him at the top of the

that question again.
In a 1981 letter Goldwater stated:
After he became Chairman of the

Senate Intelligence Committee
he took a letter from a ham radio
friend on the accuracy of the information in the 1980 Roswell
Incident book. Goldwater hinted
that the extraterrestrial conclusion in the book had merit:
In all your jobs in government

the Ford White House, Secretary of Defense in the Bush
Sr. White House, and Vice
President in the Bush Jr. white

and if so when was it and what
were you told.
To tell you the truth, Mr. Graham, this thing has gotten so
highly-classified, even though
I will admit there is a lot of it
that has been released, it is
just impossible to get anything
on it.
8) I questioned Dick Cheney about
the reality of UFOs and he, like
Goldwater and the Canadian government, indicated the subject
existed inside government but
was classified. The question came
when he was an April 2001 guest
on the Diana Rehm radio show in
Washington D.C.. I asked,

running for president, you said
you thought mankind would
one day fly faster than light
and visit the stars. My question
is, when you were in the military were you ever briefed on
the subject of U.F.O.s?
A: I heard a bit. In fact, Im going to be in Roswell, New Mexico tonight.
Q: So you were briefed?
A: There are things going on.
But we will have to work out
our own mathematics.

Marcel Jr. told a story about being
approached by Dick DAmato, a
legal assistant to the Senate Appropriations Committee who was
sent with every classified clearance and the power of the Senate
to find out what was going on at
Area 51. The appropriation committee was responsible for allocating the money spent by the US
government and they wanted to
know if we were in fact back engineering UFOs.
Marcel told the story of being
taken to a secure room in the subbasement of the Capitol and sat
at a large boardroom table. On
the table was a copy of the book
Majestic, written by Whitley
Strieber which told the story of
the 1947 Roswell crash and the

control the extraterrestrial secret.

The John Lennon UFO Story By Grant Cameron
The John Lennon UFO Story

By Grant Cameron
Like a U.F.O. you came to me and blew away lifes misery,
Out the blue lifes energy, Out the blue you came to me
Lyrics from Out of the Blue by John Lennon
from the album Mind Games, published by Apple Records 1973
The
Beatles will undoubtedly go down in

history as the greatest
musical group ever. John
Lennon, who started
the group in the fifties,
will probably go down
in history as the driving
force behind the group.
Those who have studied abductees or experiencers will immediately pick up the flaming pie to be a
screen image for a glowing red flying saucer used by
the aliens to get across a message while masking the
true nature of who they were. This interpretation is
supported by Johns later accounts of close encounters with UFOs and by an album produced in 1997 by
Paul McCartney that continue the story of the man of
the flaming pie.
The group started out as the Quarry Men. Paul McCartney was invited into the group by John who was
impressed with his talent and Paul brought in George
Harrison. Later these three replaced drummer Pete
Best with Ringo Starr and the rest was history.
Flaming Pie was the tenth studio album by Paul

McCartney. The first song of the album talks about
Johns man who came on the flaming pie. The lyrics
of the title song start:
What many dont know is that UFOs played a role in

John Lennons life, and he may have been an abductee
based on some of the things that have been reported
about his experiences.
Making love underneath the bed,

Shooting stars from a purple sky,
I dont care how I do it,
Im the man on the flaming pie.

And so we were.
John was very open about what had occurred and
34
later described what he saw

clearly despite the fact that he
was very short sighted and didnt
have his glasses on;
If you see a little note on Walls
and Bridges (album) you will
see it says I saw a UFO. I just
finished doing Walls and Bridges. I had just mastered it or had
done the last tape of it, and I
was just reading, relaxing, feeling good.
It was summer in New York
and I had the window open,
and low and behold there was
this thing just hovering about
a hundred yards away. I saw it
so close. It wasnt in the sky or
nothing. I could have hit it with
a brick if I had thrown a stone
at it. I couldnt see the colors
because it was dusk, but it was
a good clear summer night.
The sky was very clear, and
around the bottom of it were
ordinary looking electric light
bulbs blinking off and on alternatively like on a billboard.
On top of it was a red light; the
thing that I noticed was that
there was no noise. I could hear
that freeway down below with
all the cars going, so I realized
its not a helicopter then it
must be a balloon.
It was so close to the rooftop
it couldnt be a balloon. All the
rational things I went through
- not a helicopter - not a balloon. Its too close to the roof
and its manoeuvring around
too much to be a balloon. So
I just watched it and it was
there about 5 or 10 minutes
and then it went off down the
east river.
May Pang recalled her version of
what had occurred,
I remember I was just getting

dressed when John started
shouting for me to come out
onto the terrace. I yelled that
I would be right there but he
kept screaming for me to join
him that instant. As I walked
out onto the terrace my eyes
caught this large circular object coming towards us. It was
shaped like a flattened cone
and on top was a large brilliant
red light. It was not pulsating
like any of the big aircraft that
we would see landing at Newark Air Port.
When it came closer we could
make out a row of circular
white lights that ran around
the entire rim of the craft.
These were also flashing off
and on. There was so many of
these lights that it was dazzlingit was about the size of
a Lear jet and it was so close if

reporting a UFO. The New York

Daily News told Gruen they had
five calls related to a UFO.
Lennon would go on to write a song
called No One Told me in which
he said Theres UFOs over New
York, and I aint too surprised. It
was not released by Yoko Ono till
1983 and was the last 10 ten hit in
the UK by Lennon.
The second Lennon UFO encounter occurred later in the same
Dakota apartment in 1975, while
Yoko was expecting Sean, Johns
only child with Yoko. The account
comes from a story told by Israeli
psychic Uri Geller who lived one
block away from Lennon in New
York City. The two had become
friends in the 1970s and would
meet secretly once a week in the
coffee shop of the Sherry Netherland Hotel.
He was in bed with Yoko Ono
when he was suddenly woken up
by a bright light coming under the
door to the apartment like there
was a fire in the hallway. Realizing
that this may be an emergency
situation he tried to wake up Yoko
but was unable to do so.
During the time that it was

directly overhead I could hear
no noise. We often had helicopters around but this was
as silent as the night 17 stories
above street level. Finally the
object passed from view. The According to Geller this was the
object returned and the light story as told by Lennon;

Larry Warren who wrote that he

her she indicated that John had
told her that he believed that he

was responsible for making

people for the rest of his life.

Approaches to the UFO Field
by David Griffin
Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential

Lyrics from Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine
quoting a March 1968 FBI memo
On a personal level, there were many elephant in the

room components to the issue of UFOs and contact
that made me reluctantly dip back into the literature
circa 2005 and try and work out was going on once
more. Aside from 23,000 year old cave paintings of
aliens and their apparent craft a more modern
jaw-dropper was finding out that, in the post-war
era, the UFO issue was rated higher than the hydrogen-bomb with regards to its secrecy and national
security status.
Here, we once more find ourselves in Alice in Wonderland territory with regards to the issue of visiting
intelligences. Why would official structures claim this
subject was nothing more than illusory officially
declare the intelligence status of nuclear weapons
as LESS important than the supposedly fictitious
flying saucer stuff? The same contradiction becomes
obvious when dealing with the individuals who contribute to the field in any way. The aim was to make
authors irrelevant, professional pilots or military
made to fear career suicide and those even closer to
the phenomena as kooks or low-IQ morons.
intent in the confused aftermath of WW2 has now

become un-workable. More importantly, the passing
decades have resulted in some seeing the whole
vast approach as having far from benign agendas by
growing numbers on all sides. Couple this with the
recent boom in information communications technology and cheaper gadgets for unmediated contact
with aspects of the ET issue and you cant avoid an
apex point looming on the horizon.
The signal for this moment may well have been the
recently publicised charges against contactee Stan
Romanek. In February of this year, Romanek was
charged with possession of child porn based on
a warrant that had been around for almost a year
previous. Whilst the local Colorado polices [newly
created] internet crimes unit visited the property to
collect the evidence bizarrely the original tip-off
seems to have come from the USs Department of
Homeland Security. Whilst only the Romanek family
truly know the legitimacy of these charges, its the
latter element that gives us a pretty substantial clue
as to whether a wider goal is at play. Although DHS
appear to have been granted an ever wider annual
role in American domestic security since 9/11 the
idea that their remit now involves passing on tips regarding child images from the net seems to stretch
credulity a little. There are other points that make
this whole thing suspect including the fact the
event was expected .
In the last decade or so, the previous tactics that

may have had a degree of success in keeping the
issue out of mainstream culture began to become
ineffective. For one, attempting to supress an evolutionary process is never going to be a battle you can
win even with all the resources you could desire
at your fingertips. You start to get the idea that
there may be something inherent in some of us to This article isnt aiming to make a judgement on Stans

tools are employed against those

involved in the wider UFO community. After all, if the issue was
rated as a disinformation priority
theres not so much of a conceptual leap to be made to assume a
range of options are on the table
to deal with individuals. It is worth
looking at why Romanek may have
been subjected to this particular
approach though given that that
particular tactic is very effective
often whether the party accused
is guilty or not. Previously, it was
only seen used as a last resort
amongst politicians, financiers,
for example, who were deemed to
have profoundly gone against their
peers collective goals or used as
blackmail stock. Those who have
looked into the tireless work of
ex-senator John De Camp into
paedophile networks, that supposedly reached into the Whitehouse, will no doubt have come
across the regularly discussed idea
of secretly filming certain individuals whilst [innocently or otherwise] having a 5 year old bounce
merrily on their lap.
This scenario, if as widespread
as De Camps witnesses claim it
was, could be one reason we see
those in public positions flip-flop
so easily over policy choices. They

charges or images are fabricated

Since the 1950s space brother
era researchers and experiencers of extraterrestrial phenomena
have faced a variety of coercive
responses from the various state
power groups. Whilst the front
end civil structures know little or
nothing in regards to UFO activity,
modern history has shown it to
be profoundly important to what
has emerged as above-government structures. These semi-official groups appear to span various
levels of the military that have
links to grey or black USAPs [Unacknowledged Special Access
Projects] yet often merge with
the corporate world where less
oversight is demanded. The term
neutralize is often assumed
to mean kill in intelligence
parlance however it actually
refers to applying the most effective method to stop a perceived
threat. This approach is evident
over the years with everything
from attempts to discredit, or say
inducing paranoia, all the way to
eradicating a persons finances and
identity or murder. We can find
many very real world examples of
this approach which would shift

can see that their tactics are
context based or rather a response
to how the issue is integrating at
that point in time. So, despite the

a wholesale part of our global

only fleetingly, and yet again we
are told that Burroughs has been

he arrives at the scene, so, again,
he later remembers nothing of
what happened. And... so where...
is Penniston on the third night ?
Strangely enough, there is
a complete absence of any
commentary for both the 3rd
night, and for the 2nd night, from
Penniston: This book mentions
Penniston was at the base for
the night of 26 December, but
no mention is made of his direct
involvement, or any of his reports
(if he offered any) for the 26th
or for the third night (the 27th).
Surely, this is highly inconvenient
considering he was Staff Sergeant
for the base.
This void is, however, filled by
much pedantic chatter by Nick
Pope, so much so that its easy for
the reader to drift away from its
emptiness, and to then forget all
about it.
But the void is there, and in that
void lies the very problem that fails

One wonders, though, if this may
be no bad thing... in this void there
may be found a possible solution

those three nights of events...
Because, if their minds were shut
down by the temporal UFO beams
that encircled them during those
events, now we can assume that
neither Burroughs nor Penniston
are capable of remembering
anything that happened during
those events.
This leaves the door open to other
interpretations. Now, I know
from abduction case histories
that while one person might

alien activity, another who might

Republican majority in the House has been reduced.
So by merest virtue of the vice presidential tiebreaker the country has chosen unified government for

Sometimes a new president makes history and sometimes history happens to him (there have been no

Returning to the core issue: while there is obviously a firmament of questions that could be raised regarding the extraterrestrial presence, there are three

1) whether to hold a disclosure event or continue

the cover-up,
2) how comprehensive and truthful the initial information disclosed will be, and
3) whether to create a military, hostile posture
toward the extraterrestrials acknowledged in this
disclosure event.
For the past ten years a growing political movement
has targeted the politics of UFOs/disclosure. All
levels of the media have received extensive materials
on the subject. Former members of the U. S. military,
former astronauts and many other government employees have been speaking privately and publicly
in unambiguous terms regarding the extraterrestrial
presence and a government cover-up.

deserved Academy Award for

which millions have turned for guidance and solutions which you provided in your documentary. And
therein lies the problem. The solutions you propose
are not commensurate with either the timeframe or
the severity of the consequences you predict. Those
frightened by these consequences are frustrated as
they consider the degree of cooperation demanded
by nations and institutions to address this emergency
before it is too late. They consider the present state
of world affairs and lose hope for a positive outcome.
Many of the solutions you present are based upon
existing and projected technological innovation.

I believe you already know this via contacts made

and nuclear proliferation issues while in the Senate
and from your service as an active and powerful vice
president. If you are not aware of the validity behind
this other inconvenient truth, ask your good friends

policy advisor, John Podesta. They watched from the
Oval Office while billionaire Laurance Rockefeller
worked through the Office of Science and Technology Policy for three years to persuade the Clinton administration to end the truth embargo the Rockefeller Initiative. John Podesta would later call for the
release of all government documents relevant to the
extraterrestrial issue during two press conferences at
the National Press Club in October of 2002 and 2003.
Or you could ask Jimmy Carter who approved two
studies of extraterrestrial phenomena during the
first months of his presidency before both were shut
down by the Department of Defense and members
of his own administration.
This is not a political issue so much as it is a moral
issue. When you stand at the podium in the Kodak
Theater, let the people know there was something
missing from your film. Tell your audience there

which they have a right to know about and to access.
The auditorium will explode with a response that will

Dear Senator Clinton:
In March 1993 billionaire Laurance Rockefeller initiated an extraordinary approach to your husbands
administration via the Office of Science and Technology Policy headed by Dr. John Gibbons. A memorandum from Mr. Rockefellers attorney Henry Diamond
dated March 29, 1993 conveyed a request to meet

wanted to meet with the President and inform him
there is a belief in many quarters that the government has long held classified information regarding UFOs which has not been released and that the
failure to do so has brought about unnecessary suspicion and distrust, and that Many believe that the
release of such information on a basis consistent
with national security would be a significant gesture
which would increase confidence in government.
In 2004 Governor Bill Richardson, UN Ambassador and

Secretary of Energy during
your husbands administration, made a similar request
for documents pertaining to
the events in Roswell, New
Mexico during July of 1947.
These facts are known from news articles, public
records and, most importantly, from nearly 1000
pages of correspondence and documents obtained
by researcher Grant Cameron from the Office of
Science and Technology Policy via the Freedom of
Information Act. Additional relevant documents are
expected to be released soon from the Clinton Presidential Library.

Open letter to Albert

Gore, Jr. Redux
October 15, 2007
Dear Mr. Gore:
On January 29 of this year PRG published an open
letter to you in anticipation of your winning the Best
Documentary Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth at the
79th Annual Academy Awards. That letter made two
essential points: 1) your political career and areas
of specialty as a senator and vice president were
such you are aware of and/or have been briefed on

some or all of the facts surrounding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race for at least
the past sixty years, and 2) propulsion and energy
technologies associated with extraterrestrial vehicles
obtained by the United States military and under development for decades must be brought out from
behind the government imposed truth embargo and
placed in the service of addressing the dire warnings
you have raised concerning the near- and long-term
effects of global warming.
tered extraterrestrial technology which, if brought

into the public arena, could completely alter the
tipping point equations presently scaring many out
of their wits. In fact, there is no issue impacting the
human condition that this technology could not materially affect for the better.
Jimmy Carter knows this, Bill Clinton knows this,
George H. W. Bush know this they will not publicly
speak to it. Will you speak for them?
Nine months have passed. You did not respond to Respectfully,

this open letter, and none of the presidential candidates who wish to lead the most powerful nation
in the world have dared in forum after forum to the
address the extraterrestrial/truth embargo issues.

Nevertheless, you have had quite a year culminating

Research Group
In between you picked up an Emmy.
In your post-Nobel Prize announcement remarks you
repeatedly referred to the consciousness raising
aspect of the global warming challenge. Your point
is valid, but it is worth noting the motivation behind
this potential increase in global consciousness would
be fear-based in much the same way the threat of
international terrorism alters human behavior. The
environmental movement began in similar fashion,
arising out of the dire and also controversial warnings
from Rachel Carson in her landmark book, Silent
Spring. But even Carson would have been impressed
with the behavioral changes your message calls for.
The multiplicity of solutions to the global warming
crisis you offer will require an unprecedented modification in collective worldview never before seen in
human affairs within any time frame, let alone the
one or two decades suggested. In short, you need all
the help you can get - help that includes powerful,
non-fear-based components.
With all due respect for global warmings potency as
a change agent, that and nothing else comes close to
the formal disclosure of the presence of non-human,
intelligent beings for getting the human races attention. It will and properly should be the most profound
event in human history. If you wish for the human
race to see itself as a singular species shepherd to its
one and only home planet, helping to end the truth
embargo will significantly improve that prospect.
But, as stated above, there is a significant bonus to
this strategy. Behind the truth embargo is seques-

Open Letter to
President Barack Obama
June, 2014
Dear Mr. President:
The last congressional hearing dealing with extraterrestrial phenomena here now and not somewhere
out there was before the House Committee on
Science and Astronautics on July 29, 1968 a half-day
event with three witnesses.
This month Paradigm Research Group (PRG) launched
the most comprehensive effort ever to obtain comprehensive congressional hearings for scores of
military/agency/political witnesses ready to testify
under oath to events and evidence confirming an
extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race
now.
Your White House is well aware of this issue as
thousands of emails, letters and tweets have been
received by your staff regarding the phenomena.
And, of course, you would have been briefed on the
matter by former Clinton White House advisor and
chief of staff and your presidential transition co-chairman and current advisor, John Podesta. On October
22, 2002 and October 23, 2003 Mr. Podesta called for
the release of all UFO documents in government files
because the people have a right to know and its
the law.

Furthermore, on October 4, 2011 your Office of

Science and Technology Policy issued a policy statement written by Dr. Phil Larson under the supervision
of Dr. John Holdren with your approval. That statement is important for this paragraph:
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 publics eye.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/searchinget-no-evidence-yet
These three assertions by your administration are

notable for three reasons:
1) all three are false,
2) all three are indefensibly false, and
3) they are part of the only written policy statement ever issued on the extraterrestrial issue by
the White House.

Club from April 29 to May 3, 2013. Forty-two witnesses from ten countries testified for thirty hours
over five days to six former members of the U.S.
House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate.
Forty of those witnesses, along with many others,
are ready to testify now before the appropriate
congressional committees. DVD sets of the entire
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure have been sent to
every member of Congress and to the appropriate White House staff. Please request your staff
review this video record. Also, please consider

Intelligence in Science
Within the paradigm of our western culture, if something cannot be demonstrated and tested by repeatable scientific experimentation, then that something
is probably not a real phenomenon. Much of what is
termed supernatural for example simply means that
it falls outside of the paradigms ability to test it.
For the phenomenon we call intelligence, the scientific community does not have a clear definition
of what the phenomenon actually is. Whether we
are looking at natural intelligence or artificial intelligence the question of what intelligence is cannot
be defined beyond a set of rules more akin to economics where an organism attempts to allow itself
to survive.
The statements of science must invoke

only natural things and processes.
Rule of Methodological Naturalism, National
Academy of Science, Donald Kennedy et al., 1998
From this perspective the concept of seeking out the
signs of intelligence in scientific data can only be an
arduous if not impossible task.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

In a culture that relies of the philosophical reasoning of science to tell us what is real, how are we to
identify whether a signal is the result of extraterrestrial intelligence and not some natural phenomenon?
Geoff Marcy is an astronomer at the University

An additional problem in searching for the signs of of California at Berkeley. He is looking through
intelligence is that the method of philosophical rea- the vast amount of data returned from the Kepler
soning used in science is deemed incompatible with Space Observatory to look for signs of an advanced
deciding if a phenomenon is intelligently caused:
63
extraterrestrial civilization.
While NASAs Kepler mission itself
is concerned with looking for
evidence of exoplanets, Marcy is
searching through the data in the
hope of finding large objects radiating energy in the infrared range
of the electromagnetic spectrum.
It was British theoretical physicist and mathematician Freeman
Dyson who first considered that
within a few thousand years of its
entering the stage of industrial development, any intelligent species
should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely
surrounds its parent star.
This hypothetical artificial structure is known as a Dyson Sphere.
Variants of this idea include a
mega structure in the form of an
orbiting solar-powered array of
satellites meant to completely encompass a star, capturing most, if
not all, of its energy output.
The question one has to ask is,
what happens if Marcy finds an
object fulfilling that criterion?
At what point will he be free to
publish his findings, if he believes
he has found evidence of a Type II
Extraterrestrial Civilisation?
Pioneering Radio Astronomy

In 1899 Nikola Tesla built his Magnifying Transmitter in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. This device
was designed to conduct experiments in the wireless transmission of electrical power and telecommunications. That same year
he began hearing signals from it
that he eventually came to believe
emanated from an intelligent civilisation on the planet Mars:
Twenty-two years ago, while
experimenting in Colorado
with a wireless power plant,

I obtained extra-ordinary experimental evidence of the existence of life on Mars. I had
perfected a wireless receiver of

far beyond anything known,
and I caught signals which I interpreted as meaning 1--2--3-4. I believe the Martians used

signals as being from Mars when

The Rise of SETI

The origin of the SETI program
goes back to the work of radio astronomer Frank Drake at the Green
Bank observatory in West Virginia
in 1951. His Project Ozma was
the first systematic attempt to
detect artificial radio signals from
nearby stars.
The Drake Equation:

N = R* x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L
N: The number of civilizations
in our galaxy that communication might be possible
fp: The fraction of stars with

planets
ne: The average number of
planets that can possibly support life (per star with planets)
fl: The fraction that can go on
to support life
fi: The fraction that can go on
to support intelligent life
fc: The fraction of civilizations
that develop technology detectable from space
Drake used the 21-cm spectral line

of hydrogen which he considered
to be the best natural frequency
