UFO Tales, Part 2: "Paranoia, suspicion and allegations abound"

Added: Oct. 25, 2006
As previously mentioned in part 1, it was Col. Weaver who authorised the Air Force report on Roswell, in 1995. Rick Doty’s UFO activities had already been questioned by CIA personnel during a meeting with Col. Weaver and Col. Hennessey in 1988. The report concluded that the Roswell event had been nothing more sinister than a classified project named MOGAL. No mention was made of Doty, his acquaintances, or the MJ-12 documents within the report.
An interesting facet to the UFO enigma is that the vast majority of ET related stories have originated with Air Force personnel. The Roswell incident, captured ETs, the manipulation of human DNA, covert agreements between ETs and the U.S. Government, and more recently a Project named ‘SERPO’.
On 2nd November 2005, information leaked by an anonymous source claiming to be a retired senior official within the DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency) was slowly released to a large email list, through the list owner Mr. Victor Martinez. The list members are an eclectic group of people including UFO buffs, researchers, scientists, physicists and both active and retired members of the Intelligence Community. The information released contained details of an alleged military personnel exchange program with an alien race of beings from Zeta Reticuli, simply referred to as EBE (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) or EBENs, which took place from 1965 to 1978.
Although it’s not possible to prove that the anonymous source is/was in any way connected to the Air Force, a character to quickly emerge on the SERPO scene and take centre stage was none other than Richard C. Doty. And again tales of crashed craft and captured aliens act as the catalyst for the exchange program highlighted by the SERPO revelations. The information release came to an abrupt halt several months ago, but as I write, new information has just found its way to the Victor Martinez email list. [a] As I read through today’s release there is at least one glaring mistake which leaps from the page. Mr. Anonymous states "…. the U.S. can communicate with our 'Visitors.' The communication system is a complex, highly classified series of relay stations and satellites. The communication system is entitled, 'Echelon.' It is run by the Defense Communication Agency, and NOT the National Security Agency."
As coincidence would have it, I have recently conducted research on the Echelon System, NSA’s Global Electronic Interception Network, initially instigated by an incident in connection with a high profile UFO forum with probable Intel links. The NSA Echelon System was exposed in 1988 by investigative journalist Mr. Duncan Campbell. [b] The Church Committee hearings of 1975 had previously exposed NSA’s SIGNET (top secret use of communication capabilities) operations. The NSA, as far as we are aware, does in fact still head the Echelon system and Mr. ‘DIA’ Anonymous should surely know that the Defense Communications Agency (DCA) became the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) back in 1991.
In 1997 Col. Philip Corso’s book The Day After Roswell was published. This was the first time that a high ranking and respected military personage had come forward with information in connection to Roswell and crashed disks. Not only that, but Col. Corso states that he witnessed the shipment of dead aliens and was later to personally handle alien artefacts. This book caused a commotion throughout the UFO community, many viewing it as a major revelation and the beginning of a disclosure process they had long awaited.
The late Col. Philip J. Corso’s military history is certainly impressive. During his twenty-one-year military career, he was honoured with nineteen medals, decorations and ribbons for meritorious service. He was a key Army intelligence officer who served on General MacArthur's staff in Korea. From 1953 to 1956, Corso was given intelligence staff assignments on both the Psychological Strategy Board (PSB) and the Operations Coordinating Board (OCB). The OCB was established as an independent agency by EO 10483, September 2, 1953, to report to the NSC (National Security Council) on the development, by appropriate Executive branch agencies, of operational plans for national security policies of international import. In 1961, Corso was assigned to Research and Development (R&D) at the Pentagon, working under Lt. General Arthur Trudeau, head of Army R&D. Col. Corso retired from the army in 1963, and went on to serve Senator James Eastland and Strom Thurmond as a staff member specializing in national security.
In 1947, Corso was posted to Fort Riley, Kansas. On the afternoon of July 6th 1947, several army vehicles pulled in to Fort Riley with a shipment of cargo on route to Wright Field, Ohio. (Wright Field became Wright-Patterson AFB in 1948). The crates were offloaded and stored in one of the old veterinary buildings on the base. That evening Corso was assigned to post duty and whilst doing his security checks he made his way over to the veterinary buildings to check on Bill Brown, who was on post duty that night. According to Corso, when he got there he noticed Brown wasn’t stationed at his post, as he stood wondering where Brown could be he heard a voice hiss out of the darkness “Major Corso”. It was Brown, he sounded excited and told Corso that he should take a look at the crates stored in the building. Corso, after much debate with Brown agrees to take a look. One of the crates had already been opened so the lid didn’t prove too troublesome to remove. As he peered into the crate the shock of what he discovered sent him into a swoon. Instead of weapons, as expected, he could make out a small-framed body suspended in an unusual thick blue liquid.
“At first I thought it was a dead child they were shipping somewhere” writes Corso “But this was no child. It was a four-foot human-shaped figure with arms, bizarre-looking six-fingerer hands – I didn’t see a thumb – thin legs and feet, and an oversized incandescent light bulb-shaped head that looked like it was floating over a balloon gondola for a chin.” [1] Corso adds that the image of the dead alien never left his memory.
In 1961, Corso was assigned to Research and Development (R&D) at the Pentagon, working under Lt. General Arthur Trudeau. Corso was in the Trudeau’s office when Trudeau pointed to a filing cabinet and said, "This has some special files, war materiel you've never seen before, that I want to put under your Foreign Technology responsibilities." [2] The General informed Corso that the filing cabinet would be transferred to Corso's office and that Corso was to decide how to deal with the contents advising Corso that he should do a little research on the Roswell files first.
According to Corso, the cabinet contained retrieved alien artifacts from the Roswell crash and he had been placed in charge of devising a way to exploit the obvious strategic value of the wreckage. The wreckage had evidently been locked away in the Army's possession from 1947 to 1961, with very few knowing about it. The few who did know were convinced that certain U.S. intelligence agencies had been infiltrated by Soviet spies and informers, and the UFO wreckage was so sensitive that no one could be trusted to deal with it. So Corso's task from 1961 to 1963, was to secretly distribute various pieces of potentially valuable wreckage to scientists and industrial bodies who were known to be trustworthy, and the human patent process would effectively mask the alien source of the technology.
In January, 1994, author and researcher Karl T. Pflock met up with Col. Corso at the International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. Corso had returned to New Mexico to refresh his memories before starting work on his memoirs. Corso had arrived at the museum before Pflock, and had a private meeting with Glenn Dennis and two others whilst waiting. Corso discussed his involvement in a project that had been set up to learn the secrets of the Roswell saucer and put them to use in national defence, and allegedly showed Dennis and the others sketches of aliens.
On Pflock’s arrival the party left the museum and made their way to the alleged UFO crash sites, and debris field. On route Corso told Pflock about his interest in Roswell and said that he had played a small role in the aftermath of the affair, and that he would be including it as a minor piece in his memoirs. Pflock states that it struck him that Corso really knew very little about the Roswell incident and appeared to be trying to gather information from others in the group. Corso goes on to make some outlandish claims about an encounter he’d had with a CIA operative and how he had to read him the riot act, and had to even get a little physically aggressive with him. Unbeknown to Corso, Pflock knew the CIA station chief who Corso was referring to, from his time in the agency. Pflock knew the story was highly unlikely and wrote Corso off as another blowhard.
In 1997, Pflock was asked to review a new book publication, it happened to be The Day After Roswell By Col. Philip Corso. Pflock was astonished to find that instead of the expected memoirs a significant amount of information in the book pertained to Corso’s personal involvement with a dead ET and retrieved alien artefacts. Much to Pflock’s surprise, Senator Strom Thurmond had written a brief foreword for Corso’s book. Pflock called the senator’s press secretary and discovered that Corso had asked the senator to write a foreword to his memoirs I Walked with Giants: My Career in Military Intelligence. According to the senator’s press secretary no mentioned of a book on Roswell and USG cover-ups had been mentioned. On June 5th, 1997, in a press release on the matter, Senator Thurmond states:
“I did not, and would not, pen the foreword to a book about, or containing, a suggestion that the success of the United States in the Cold War is attributable to the technology found on a crashed UFO. I do not believe in UFOs, do not believe that the United States is in possession of such a vehicle, and do not believe that there has been any government cover-up of a UFO crash.
The outline of I walk[ed] with Giants provided to me by Mr. Corso indicated he was writing a book of his recollections and observations on topics such as World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnamese Conflict, intelligence, espionage, and counter-espionage operations. There was absolutely no mention, suggestion, or indication that any of the chapters and subjects listed dealt with Unidentified Flying Objects and government conspiracies to cover-up the existence of such a space vehicle. [Emphasis in original release].
Senator Thurmond’s foreword was promptly removed from subsequent printings of the book.
I have checked Corso’s DA record, and it does show that Corso was in the places he says he was. However, without substantive evidence to back his claims up, and there is very little at this time, the fact that he was in the right locations and at the right times does not validate his claims.
In June, 1998, one month before his death, Corso filed an affidavit in the U. S. District Court for the District of Arizona -- via Citizens Against UFO Secrecy v. Department of the Army (Civil Action No. 98-0538 PHX ROS). He States:
"I, [Lt.] Col. Philip J. Corso, do hereby swear, under the penalties of perjury, that the following statements are true:
That at all times hereinafter mentioned, I was a member and officer of the defendant.
That during my tenure with the defendant I was a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at defendant's Research & Development department.
That on or about July 6, 1947, while stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, I personally observed a four-foot non-human creature with bizarre-looking four-fingered hands, thin legs and feet, and an oversized incandescent-light-bulb-shaped head. The eye sockets were oversized and almond-shaped and pointed down to its tiny nose. The creature's skull was overgrown to the point where all its facial features were arranged frontally, occupying only a small circle on the lower part of the head. There were no eyebrows or any indications of facial hair. The creature had only a tiny flat slit for a mouth and it was completely closed, resembling more of a crease or indentation between the nose and the bottom of the chinless skull than a fully functioning orifice.
That in 1961, I came into possession of what I refer to as the 'Roswell File.' This file contained field reports, medical autopsy reports and technological debris from the crash [of] an extraterrestrial vehicle in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
That I have personally read the medical autopsy reports which refer to the autopsy of the previously described creature that I saw in 1947 at Fort Riley, Kansas.
That said autopsy reports indicated the autopsy was performed at Walter Reed [Army] Hospital, which was under the authority of the defendant at the time of the autopsy.
That said autopsy report referred to the creature as an 'extraterrestrial biological entity.”
The question remains: Was Corso telling the truth, was he over-inflating his involvement and position, as some have claimed, or could he have been engaged in a little ongoing intelligence work, a final bit for government and country? We might never know.
Corso, like so many UFO proponents, claims Government cover-ups of the reality of UFOs and nefarious acts perpetrated by the CIA to shut the public up and put researchers off the scent should they get too close to the truth. Shadowy cabals and secret Majestic types, all hell bent on keeping the public in the dark for their own wicked ends.
One such group often referred to in the UFO world are the AVIARY, an alleged group of high-level insiders, with CIA/military/government connections. They all have bird names (hence the AVIARY) and according to many Ufologists, when they’re not trying to fry your minds with psychotronic weapons, they are out to hide ET secrets through deception and skullduggery. In fact, although the existence of MJ-12 is highly questionable, the AVIARY does ‘loosely’ exist and part of the above is factual. The majority do have CIA/military/government connections. But rather than a tight-knit secret cabal, they are a loose network of professionals who share a mutual interest in UFOs and parapsychology. Some are good friends and some have worked together on a variety projects researching UFO data and the paranormal.
The bird name code was the brainchild of William Moore. He and his colleague, Jaime Shandera, needed a safe means for discussing some of their more sensitive contacts when in public or over the phone. So partially tongue and cheek they settled for bird names. Virtually everyone they came in contact with, who had some form of government connection, were allocated a bird name. Many of the birds were unaware of their code names until months, if not years later. The core group of the AVIARY are fairly well known in UFO circles. These ‘core’ members formed the UFO Working Group, a couple having worked together on psi research and remote viewing projects, and later at NIDS (National Institute of Discovery Science).
Out of all the bird names the 'Falcon' is possibly the most mysterious, having not been clearly identified to date. Several names have been put forward over the years as possible candidates for 'Falcon,' including:
Richard C. Dotty, USAF
Richard Helms (deceased), former DCI at CIA
Dale Graff, physicist and former director of Project STAR GATE, and Founder of The Baycliff International Psi/RV Alert Center
Col. Barry Hennessy, Director of Security, Counterintelligence and Special Program Oversight, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C
Cecil B. Scott Jones, PhD, former officer with the Office of Naval Intelligence.
“The supernatural is irrational, but it is also real. It holds enormous power. We ignore it at our peril. It operates not only on the individual psyche, but at a collective level, influencing entire cultures.
If we fail to recognise the limits of our “rational” way of thinking, we can become victims of it. Parapsychology demonstrates that our thoughts, including our unconscious thoughts, are not limited to our brains. They move of their own accord and influence the physical world.” The Trickster and the Paranormal by George Hansen p430.
In order to collate the opening comments to this series of articles, we need to hone in on a few key individuals, whose respective legs straddle the UFO/parapsychological realms. The first notable character is Dr. C.B Scott Jones, who embodies this overlap between UFO culture, parapsychology and Intel. He is a former officer with the Office of Naval Intelligence (retiring as Commander in the US Navy) he participated in a number contracts with the DIA over the years and from 1985 to 1991, Scott Jones was appointed as Special Assistant to Senator Claiborne Pell.
In 1985, he founded and was president of the Center for Applied Anomalous Phenomena, a non-profit educational and scientific research organization which was chartered to conduct research and analysis of anomalous phenomena. Networking with the parapsychological and UFO communities, he has worked throughout the executive branch to address issues of government support for basic parapsychological research, and to consider implications and application of these phenomena.
In 1989, Dr Jones and Senator Claiborne Pell co-founded the Human Potential Foundation. The Foundation was involved in a number of research projects, including a joint research effort with the Chinese Academy of Somatic Science in Beijing, in accelerated bone healing using Qi Gong; a sponsored symposium conducted by Russian medical scientists on psychoanalytical and psycho correction computer technologies and the translation from Chinese of the book Collected Works on Qi Gong Science.
A two-year program was funded by Mr. Laurance Rockefeller, culminating in an international conference "When Cosmic Cultures Meet," which was held in Washington, D.C. in May, 1995. At the conference a wide spectrum of academics with varying disciplines and interests assessed the implications, preparations and responses for a time when there is no ambiguity regarding the understanding that higher cosmic forms of intelligence and cultures are meeting.
In November, 1998, the Human Potential Foundation was dissolved and transferred to the Peace and Emergency Action Coalition for Earth, Inc (P.E.A.C.E), a non-profit highly ‘spiritual’ foundation promoting solutions for sustainable peace and sustainable development on a global level.
As has been noted by several researchers, Jones has access to the highest levels in government, and he associates with some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. [A list of Mr. Jones' affiliations is provided in the notes to this article.] His apparent, yet unstated message to researchers was that they should not probe too deeply. In his own way he helped to fuel the paranoia within the UFO community, reinforcing the belief that the USG possessed crashed saucers, and alien artefacts. One has to wonder why someone in Jones’ position would on the one hand try to disparage penetrating research, yet on the other hand fuel the hunger of information seeking researchers. Containment would be the obvious answer.
The second person of note is a colleague of Scott Jones, Col. John Alexander. He has held a long time interest in the paranormal and is the former President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Col. Alexander has an impressive background. He entered the US Army as a private in 1956 and by the time he retired in 1988, he was a Colonel of Infantry. During his varied career he has held key positions in special operations, intelligence, and research and development. From 1966 through to early 1969 he commanded Special Forces “A” Teams in Vietnam and Thailand. Col. Alexander also served as the military liaison to the National Research Council's panel evaluating parapsychological applications, and was Chief of the Advanced Human Technology Office of the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Currently he is Executive Vice President of LEADS, Inc. and serves as a consultant to U.S. Special Operations Command.
Col. Alexander’s colleague, General Albert Stubblebine, was head of INSCOM. Scott Jones has acknowledged working on a project for INSCOM. Stubblebine is another character sharing Jones’ and Alexander’s interests in the paranormal, and since leaving the Army has been deeply involved in paranormal areas. Stubblebine was formerly Vice President for "Intelligence Systems" of BDM and Chairman of Psi Tech, a group which has been purported to provide psychic advice to Fortune 500 companies. The majority of members being ex-military personnel who were trained in a parapsychological applications program developed at SRI International (Stanford Research Institute).
SRI has a history of mind capability research. Under contract to the U.S. Army. Programs were developed to study the implications and applications of Psi ability (Psychic potential). Around 1972, SRI initiated a program to study the phenomenon of remote viewing, originally funded by the Science Unlimited Research Foundation, and led by Dr. Harold Puthoff and Dr. Russell Targ. Their initial success attracted the attention of the CIA and DIA who later funded in part the research under SAIC (Science Application International Corporation). The SRI/SAIC psi experiments were supervised at Langley by John McMahan, second in command under William Casey. The research aspect of the remote viewing program was transferred from SRI to SAIC in 1991.
Dale Graff, a physicist, was allegedly approached by USAF after an article Graff wrote on Soviet ESP, and was offered the position of Director of the Remote Viewing Program, at the end of Dr. Puthoff’s and Dr Targ’s contract with the CIA. Graff coined the name "STAR GATE" to symbolize an innovative effort in extending the range of human potential. Prior to his STAR GATE directorship he had worked as an aerospace engineer on missile and space programs, and with the DoD intelligence agencies. His technical experience includes research into advanced electromagnetic and quantum physics concepts. In 1976, he initiated U.S. Government research into the remote viewing phenomenon that eventually led to the STAR GATE program. He left the government in 1993, to pursue a writing career and to facilitate seminars on ESP, remote viewing, intuition, and precognitive dreaming.
While the CIA ended STAR GATE in 1995, remote viewing had already been successfully integrated into the Army and DoD Intelligence programs. The programs continue under various guises.
A comment made by Graff is of interest for those searching for UFO/Alien connections within the STAR GATE files, in which he surmises that the current UFO craze is a reflection of the loss of connectivity with deeper aspects of ourselves. If Graff truly believes that, it becomes a significant indication that research into psi ability was/is pointing to areas other than nuts and bolts alien technology. To add to this, it has recently come to the attention of SSR that ongoing research in the field of cognitive sciences and neurology has possibly led to a significant find: a non-endogenous signal may have been detected in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The prefrontal cortex is the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain, lying in front of the motor and pre-motor areas. Divided into the lateral, orbito-frontal and medial prefrontal areas, this brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviours, personality expression and moderating correct social behaviour. Although it is to soon to know the extent of this discovery, as it remains very hush hush, if proved correct the discovery will have a profound impact on how we view the emergence of consciousness, and if/how our conscious/subconscious minds might be influenced by an ‘outside’ signal. Not least, where this ‘signal’ might originate from.
In summing-up, any discerning researcher should notice a distinct pattern emerging out of the complex and interwoven events and players. The hypothesis proposed here is that the modern nuts and bolts UFO myth was born out of overlapping events, which include Cold War and post Cold War Counter-Intelligence, skilled masters of deception and not so skilled hoaxers. But lurking in the background is the king of paradox, the Master Trickster himself.
Conspiracy theories are rife on the Internet and nowhere more rampant than within the UFO community. Paranoia, suspicion and allegations abound and that’s just between the Pro-UFO lobbyists, when Intel and parapsychology are thrown into the mix the heat reaches boiling point
The UFO arena fast became a platform for gathering and disseminating information to and from a variety of sources, and wherein the trickster runs riot. But hiding in the shadows are a bunch of folk, some highly positioned, who quietly watch the show, suspended from their webs of intrigue waiting to catch a fat juicy fly. And it’s this overlap, this grey region betwixt Ufology, Intel and parapsychology that is quite probably the most enigmatic.
We (SSR) are repeatedly told by one of our sources that the UFO phenomenon can’t be tracked by traditional technological means - "one has to follow the people, not the phenomenon," we’re told.
