Two decades later, in a book by Robin Collyns, entitled "Did
Spacemen Colonize the Earth?", published by Pelham Books in
1974, on page 236 we find the following quotes attributed to
Professor Hermann Oberth as well:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The great German space pioneer Hermann Oberth said, "We
cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain
scientific fields alone; we have been helped." When asked
who helped, he said: "The people of other worlds."

----- End Quote -----

Surely a man of Oberth's stature would not jeopardize his
respected standing within the scientific community by making
such a controversial and outlandish statement, unless he was
sufficiently convinced of what he said. Oberth wasn't alone.
Other German scientists apparently shared the belief that at
least some UFO's were of unearthly origin. In the April 1952
edition of the popular American magazine, "Life", the cover
of which sported a sexy picture of American idol, Marilyn
Monroe, we find the following quote attributed to German
rocket engineer, Walter Riedel:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I'm convinced that saucers have an out-of-world basis."

----- End Quote -----

As we will be discussing a bit later in our series, 1952 was
the year that an amazing UFO wave buzzed over Washington, DC,
as Washington officials and the American military helplessly
looked on, their fighter jets unable to keep pace with the
elusive crafts.

Another American scientist who became convinced that UFO's
are of extraterrestrial origin, was Dr. James E. McDonald.
A professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of
Arizona, in 1967, he stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I have absolutely no idea where the UFO's come from or how
they are operated; but after ten years of research, I know
they are something from outside our atmosphere."

----- End Quote -----

Harvard University astrophysicist, Dr. Andrew W. Howard, had
this to say:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Intelligent beings abound in the Universe, and most of them
are far older than we are."

----- End Quote -----

In a 1986 edition of the American newspaper "Blade Tribune",
distinguished Sri Lankan chemist, Dr. Cyril Ponnamperuma, who
at that time was the Director of the University of Maryland's
Laboratory of Chemical Evolution, offered a very interesting
perspective regarding the physiology of the extraterrestrial
entities. In an article entitled "Scientist States ET's Look
Just Like Us", Professor Ponnamperuma stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Forget about those fanciful Hollywood notions about the
bizarre appearance of ET's . . . When we do land on a planet
somewhere, someday, don't be surprised if somebody walks up
to shake your hand."

----- End Quote -----

For much of his accomplished life, Ponnamperuma possessed a
deep interest in the origin of life. Among his achievements
over the decades, in the late 1960's, he was chosen by NASA
as the principal investigator for the analysis of the moon
dust from the Apollo missions. He remained deeply involved
in other NASA programs and missions after that. He died in
1995.

American astronaut, L. Gordon Cooper, who was a participant
in the Mercury and Gemini missions, concurred with Professor
Ponnamperuma's opinion concerning the physical appearance of
extraterrestrials. In an interview on the American TV Show,
"The Merv Griffin Show", in agreeing with Griffin's remark
that many people believe that aliens look like humans, Mr.
Cooper stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Right . . . apparently from everyone . . . who has had
contact with UFO's, they seem to agree . . . that the
occupants are really not that different from what we are."

----- End Quote -----

While I personally have no evidence to back up this view, as
a Christian, I am inclined to agree with the position held
by Dr. Ponnamperuma and Cooper. While there aren't any strict
rules which state what God can and cannot do, based upon the
evidence that we do find in the Bible, it seems to me that if
the Lord chose to create man in His own image here on Earth,
then, if He has in fact sown the seeds of intelligent life on
other distant worlds, then He would probably create it in His
own image as well; meaning a very humanoid form. Of course,
it may also be that God, as the Designer and Creator of life,
enjoys diversity in His work. Perhaps one of these days, we,
the general public, will know the full answer to this great
mystery.

Another important voice from the scientific community is
Maurice Bilot, the renown aerodynamicist and mathematical
physicist. In the April 7, 1952 edition of the American
magazine "Life", Bilot stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The least improbable explanation is that these things UFO's
are artificial and controlled. My opinion for some time has
been that they have an extraterrestrial origin."

----- End Quote -----

Unless I am mistaken, this is the same edition of "Life" in
which German rocket engineer, Walter Riedel, also expressed
his view that UFO's are piloted by alien intelligences. The
title of the article may have been "Have We Visitors From
Outer Space?".

Controversial figure, Thomas "Tommy" Gold, who was professor
emeritus of astronomy at Cornell University before he passed
away, took the idea of alien visitation a step further. Gold
was known for his highly provocative theories; some of which
were ultimately proven to be correct. One position that Gold
adopted, which we discussed earlier, was that life may have
first been seeded on Earth by alien beings, as we see by the
following quote:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Life on earth may have started when space men landed here
billions of years ago."

----- End Quote -----

And then there is astronomer J. Garzon of Mexico's National
Astronomical Observatory, located in Mexico City. As some of
you will undoubtedly know, over the years, there have been a
significant number of UFO sightings in the Mexico City and
Puebla area. Many of these events appear to originate in the
vicinity of two of Mexico's most famous volcanos. These are
Popocat�petl and Ixtacc�huatl. So what is Doctor Garzon's
professional opinion of UFO's? He simply stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"UFO's really exist and apparently come from other planets."

----- End Quote -----

In light of such provocative statements from serious-minded
scientists such as Oberth, Riedel, McDonald, Bilot, Howard,
Ponnamperuma, Gold, Garzon, and others not mentioned here,
perhaps we need to revisit the question: Is it possible that
at least some of our modern technology is the by-product of
alien intervention? If so, does this add any credibility to
Bob Lazar's story? What do you think?

Before we continue, allow me to share a final quote with you
from Wilbert Brockhouse Smith. Smith was a highly regarded
member of the Canadian Dept. of Communications. He held both
a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, and was also
a Senior Radio Engineer with the Broadcast and Measurements
Section of the Canadian Department of Transport. His work in
radio communications is recognized around the world. Back in
the early 1950's, Mr. Smith both established, and became the
director of, Project Magnet, which was regarded as Canada's
official UFO study project. Its purpose was to study how
magnetic and gravitational principles might be responsible
for the amazing flight maneuvers which characterize many UFO
encounters and sightings.

In an internal memorandum to the Controller of Telecommuni-
cations, dated the 21st of November, 1950, and now commonly
referred to amongst UFOlogists as the "Smith Memo", Wilbert
Smith expressed his belief that UFO's are real objects. The
document, which was eventually declassified by the Canadian
government, stated in part:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The existence of a different technology is borne out by the
investigations which are being carried on at the present time
in relation to flying saucers . . . The matter is the most
highly classified subject in the United States Government,
rating higher even than the H-bomb. Flying saucers exist.
Their modus operandi is unknown, but concentrated effort is
being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush."

----- End Quote -----

As a side note, in 1940, Vannevar Bush was appointed as the
chairman of the National Defense Research Committee. A year
later, the NDRC was absorbed into the Office of Scientific
Research and Development, and Bush became its director. This
organization was the weapons research and development center
for the American military, and maintained direct control of
the Manhattan Project. As a matter of record, Vannevar Bush
was also in large part responsible for the creation of the
National Science Foundation in 1950.

As a result of the "Smith Memo", the Canadian Department of
Transport approved Wilbert Smith's proposal to officially
investigate UFO sightings; and on December 2, 1950, Project
Magnet came into being. Several years later, on August 10,
1953, Smith submitted a report concerning the progress of
Project Magnet, in which he not only reaffirmed his belief
that UFO's are real, but also that they are extraterrestrial
in origin. In that interim report, Smith also mentioned his
intentions to try to acquire some of the alien technology:

----- Begin Quote -----

"It appears then, that we are faced with a substantial
probability of the real existence of extraterrestrial
vehicles, regardless of whether they fit into our scheme of
things. It is therefore submitted that the next step in this
investigation should be a substantial effort toward the
acquisition of as much as possible of this technology . . ."

----- End Quote -----

In agreement with Smith's comment regarding acquiring alien
technology, as we saw earlier, some people are in fact of the
opinion that some American technology may have resulted from
knowledge garnered over the past six decades from recovered
alien spacecrafts. These vessels are believed to have either
crashed, or to have been forcibly brought down over American
skies, such as at the now-famous 1947 Roswell UFO crash site.
I suspect that we may never know the full truth regarding the
Roswell incident, or any other alleged UFO crash event; and
that regardless of whatever the truth may be concerning such
events, it will continue to disappear into the black hole of
American military secrecy.

But not everyone accepts the crashed flying saucer scenario.
One such person is Jacques Vallée. In the aforementioned 50
GCAT interview, Vallée expresses some strong reservations
regarding whether any alien discs have ever really crashed
at all; and I must admit, that his argument does make sense
to me. During the interview, Vallée stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Also, I am skeptical for another reason: We build
technologies now that are extremely reliable where there is
the need. How often does your hard disk crash? I mean, if
you keep your computer for 15 years, eventually the hard
disk is going to crash. But you don't expect that to happen.
If you were going to build a technology that takes you
across interstellar space, it would have to be extremely
reliable."

----- End Quote -----

I concur with Vallée. It doesn't make much sense to me that
an alien civilization would be so advanced, so as to be able
to create a technology which would enable them to transverse
the vast distances of interstellar space, simply to have said
vessels brought down by something as elemental, or "ancient",
as our Earth technology, or else by electromagnetic waves or
storms. Such an advanced civilization would surely possess
knowledge of such things, and would take the necessary steps
to protect themselves, and their crafts, from such potential
dangers.

But assuming for a moment that the American Government, (and
perhaps other governments as well), are aware of the reality
of the alien-UFO phenomenon, why would our leaders purposely
choose to conceal such Earth-shaking news from us? Setting
aside the military implications I discussed earlier, should
we just accept the standard excuse that such knowledge would
cause widespread fear, confusion and chaos; or perhaps even
result in the total collapse of the world's religions? While
there's certainly some degree of truth in such concerns, so
that even I can recognize that such an astounding revelation
by our governments could result in a serious upheaval of our
current social order, nevertheless, is it possible that there
is a more sinister motivation behind such secrecy; that is,
of course, assuming that our leaders really are hiding some-
thing from us?

Consider the following. If the government, through a subtle,
indoctrination campaign, convinces us that extraterrestrial
life, that is to say, intelligent life, doesn't exist; and
if, through the teaching of the theory of evolution in the
public school system, they also convince our children that
God, Heaven, Hell, Angels, demons, etc., don't exist either,
what does that leave us with? It leaves us with nothing but
ourselves and our little blue planet. It means that we must
be completely alone in this vast Universe, and that even our
very existence must merely be the result of time, evolution,
and random chance, and not the result of a Divine Creator,
Provider and Protector who loves us. Of course, I personally
don't believe this for a moment. As the Apostle Paul said to
the Athenians:

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that
he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made
with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as
though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life,
and breath and all things . . . For in him we live, and
move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets
have said, For we are also his offspring."
Acts 17:24, 28, KJV

But if the government were to convince you that Earth is the
only inhabited planet in the entire Universe, and that we're
all simply the product of a mindless process of evolution,
how would such a possibility make you feel? Alone perhaps?
Or insignificant? Would it fill you with despair? Would it
make everything seem pointless?

Of course, in the absence of a Divine Creator, Provider and
Protector, the vacuum must be filled with something else. Why
is this? Because every human being on this Earth has the need
to have a purpose in his or her life. Each of us also has the
need to feel that we are loved, protected and cared for, and
the government, that is to say, your government, is more than
willing to play the role. In other words, in the absence of a
Divine Creator, the government makes itself everything to us:
protector, provider and educator. Big Brother simply replaces
God. So we must ask ourselves: If such a conspiracy exists as
some people claim, is it possible that there's an intentional
suppression of the truth concerning the alien-UFO phenomenon?
And if this phenomenon is actually spiritual in nature, and
not extraterrestrial at all, is the suppression of this truth
purposely meant to destroy our faith in God, so that we each
become totally dependent on those who rule over us?

Looking at this issue from the opposite end of the spectrum,
there is another possibility as well, and I am not the first
person to propose it. It may be that the U.S. Government is
actually playing both ends of the field. In other words, on
one hand, according to some people, the American Government
does all it can to diminish the belief in aliens and UFO's;
while on the other, it purposely fuels the very same debate.
For instance, to minimize the belief in aliens and UFO's,
the American Government will periodically issue technical
reports in which it denies the reality of said phenomenon.

One prime example of this particular strategy is the 1995
GAO (General Accounting Office) report concerning the 1947
Roswell UFO incident. As I mentioned earlier in this series,
according to this widely-circulated, controversial report,
the government claims that what was actually recovered in
the deserts of New Mexico in July of 1947, wasn't a crashed
alien spaceship, but rather a high-altitude weather balloon.
According to another report which was released in July 1994
by the U.S. Air Force, this balloon was part of a secret
project code named MOGUL. The purpose of the project was to
ascertain the nuclear status of the Soviet Union. By using
high-altitude balloons, to which were attached a series of
radar reflectors and acoustic sensors, the magnitude of
Russia's nuclear detonations could be determined.

As I also mentioned earlier, aside from the actual witnesses
who have come forward since 1947, one reason why the Roswell
story has persisted over so many decades, is because of the
rather suspicious manner in which the original press release
was handled by the military. To refresh your memory, on July
8, 1947, the public information office of the Roswell Army
Air Field announced the crash and recovery of an object which
they clearly described as a "flying disc." This amazing story
was on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record that day,
and stated in part:

----- Begin Quote -----

RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION

No Details of Flying Disk are Revealed

The many rumours regarding the flying disk became a reality
yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb
Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was
fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk through the
cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's
office of Chaves County.

----- End Quote -----

Another article which appeared in the Roswell Daily Record,
which may possibly have been a revised version of the above
story, stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION

No Details of Flying Disk are Revealed

Roswell Daily Record July 8th, 1947

The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment group at
Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the
field has come into possession of a flying saucer.

According to information released by the department, over
authority of Maj. J. A. Marcel, intelligence officer, the
disk was recovered on a ranch in the Roswell vicinity, after
an unidentified rancher had notified Sheriff Geo. Wilcox
here, that he had found the instrument on his premises.

Major Marcel and a detail from his department went to the
ranch and recovered the disk, it was stated.

After the intelligence officer here had inspected the
instrument it was flown to higher headquarters.

The intelligence office stated that no details of the
saucer's construction or its appearance had been revealed.

----- End Quote -----

As the above articles explain, the recovery was conducted by
the highly-trained 509th Bomb Group, which, as I mentioned
before, was directly involved with the 1945 nuclear attacks
against Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In short, the Roswell Army Air Field retrieval team did not
consist of new, inexperienced recruits. They obviously knew
their job well; they undoubtedly knew how to distinguish a
flying disc from a weather balloon; and we can assume that
the recovery operation was conducted in a very professional
manner. In spite of these facts, the next day, the US media
reported that the Commanding General of the U.S. Eighth Air
Force, located in Fort Worth, Texas, had announced that what
the 509th Bomb Group had actually recovered, was a crashed
radar-tracking balloon, and not a flying disc, as had been
reported the previous day.

Given the above facts, it's quite easy to understand why this
sudden reversal would fuel speculation of an intentional U.S.
Government cover-up. As outsiders to all of these events, we
the public can only wonder. Was the "flying disc" story the
cover-up created to protect Project Mogul, or is it possible
that the Project Mogul / weather balloon story was the actual
cover-up created to protect the U.S. Government's recovery of
a real alien flying disc?

Perhaps we can discover at least part of the answer in one of
the many US Government documents which have been released in
recent years, as a result of the Freedom of Information Act.
Commonly referred to by UFOlogists as the "Hottel Memo", the
following 1950 document is generally believed to be genuine;
that is to say, it is not a hoax; it is in fact authentic. It
should be noted that while there's currently no way to verify
the reliability of the information contained in the memo, the
fact that the names of individuals, and other information, is
purposely deleted, (as with many other FOIA documents), does
add to the overall strangeness of the memo. The "Hottel Memo"
states as follows:

----- Begin Quote -----

Office Memorandum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

TO: DIRECTOR, FBI DATE: March 22, 1950

FROM: GUY HOTTEL, SAC, WASHINGTON

SUBJECT: FLYING SAUCERS INFORMATION CONCERNING

The following information was furnished to SA [blanked] by [
blanked ] [blanked]

An investigator for the Air Forces stated that three
so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico.
They were described as being circular in shape with raised
centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was
occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet
tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each
body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits
used by speed flyers and test pilots.

According to Mr. [blanked] informant, the saucers were found
in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very
high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed
the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the
saucers.

No further evaluation was attempted by SA [blank] concerning
the above.

Another important piece of information regarding the Roswell
case comes from one General Thomas Jefferson Dubose, who in
July, 1947 was a Colonel, and the Chief of Staff to Major
General Roger Ramey. General Ramey was the head of the 8th
Army Air Force at Fort Worth, Texas. It was Ramey who began
circulating the weather balloon story after the recovered
crash materials, (as well as the alleged alien bodies), had
been transported to the Fort Worth facility from the Roswell
Army Air Field. It would later be sent to Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, located outside of Dayton, Ohio. In a photo
that was circulated at that time, in order to add weight to
the weather balloon story, both Gen. Ramey and Dubose can be
seen inspecting what appear to be the remains of a broken
weather balloon, on the floor of General Ramey's office.

But after decades of alleged cover-up, something interesting
happened in 1991. Dubose, who was now a retired Brigadiere
General, decided that it was time to reveal the full truth
regarding the Roswell UFO incident. In a signed and notarized
affidavit, Dubose offered a completely different account of
what had occurred back in July 1947. In the full reproduction
below, please notice that in paragraph seven, General Dubose
clearly states that the weather balloon story and photograph
were all part of the U.S. Government's cover-up:

----- Begin Quote -----

AFFIDAVIT

(1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose

(2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX

(3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank
of Brigadier General.

(4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air
Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas.
I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey,
Commander, Eight Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel.

(5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen.
Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command.
He asked what we knew about the object which had been
recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the
press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the
Roswell Army Air Field and directed him to send the material
in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed
Maj. Gen. McMullen.

(6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material,
I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession
of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to
Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen.
McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by
personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding
General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later
Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted
under the strictest secrecy.

(7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen.
Ramey's office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon
explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the
attention of the press.

(8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make
this statement, which is the truth to the best of my
recollection.
