Equally interesting, is that in the photograph I mentioned
earlier, General Ramey can be seen grasping a piece of paper
in his left hand. It turns out that this paper is the most
telling evidence of all, as it was in fact a telegram that
General Ramey had sent to General Hoyt Vandenberg at the
Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Vandenberg was the acting Army
Air Force Chief of Staff in 1947. Using modern technology,
it was possible to reconstruct a lot of the contents of the
message that Ramey sent to General Vandenberg. Of course,
some of the letters were beyond recognition, and thus had to
be filled in based upon the context of the surrounding words
and letters. Other letters were filled in based on educated
guesses.

In spite of the rather cryptic nature of the telegram, it
can easily be seen that General Ramey was briefing General
Vandenberg on the latest developments concerning the Roswell
UFO incident. It is obvious that Ramey is clearly discussing
a crashed "disk". He also refers to "victims of the wreck",
whom he refers to as "aviators". Ramey informs Vandenberg
that the evidence will be sent to "Wright AF", (Wright Army
Air Field) so that it can be properly assessed. Ramey also
mentions that in the "next sent out PR", (public relations),
he will begin spreading the "weather balloons" story. All of
this is clear in the reproduction below:

Another person who eventually stepped forward regarding the
Roswell event was Dr. Jesse A. Marcel. In March of 1991, he
too signed an affidavit in which he explained what happened
one night in July 1947, when his father, Major Jesse Marcel,
woke him up in the middle of the night, in order to show him
some unusual objects he had found out in the desert. In 1947,
Major Jesse Marcel was the head Intelligence Officer at the
Roswell Army Air Field. Due to his position, he was also the
first person sent to investigate the strange materials that
had been collected by Mac Brazel, a rancher who lived about
seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell. Following is what
Dr. Jesse A. Marcel wrote in his affidavit:

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

AFFIDAVIT OF JESSE A. MARCEL JR.

(1) My name is Jesse A. Marcel, M.D.

(2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX

(3) I am a physician, and I have served in the National
Guard since 1978; I am a certified crash investigator and
helicopter pilot.

(4) In July 1947, I was eleven years old and lived in
Roswell, New Mexico, where my father, Major Jesse Marcel,
was stationed at the Roswell Army Air Field, serving as the
base intelligence officer.

(5) One night, I was awakened by my father in the middle of
the night. He was very excited about some debris he had
picked up in the desert. The material filled up his 1942
Buick. He brought some of the material into the house, and
we spread it out on the kitchen floor.

(6) There were three categories of debris: a thick,
foil-like metallic gray substance; a brittle, brownish-black
plastic-like material, like Bakelite; and there were
fragments of what appeared to be I-beams.

(7) On the inner surface of the I-beam, there appeared to
be a type of writing. The writing was a purple-violet hue,
and it had an embossed appearance. The figures were
composed of curved, geometric shapes. It had no resemblance
to Russian, Japanese or any other foreign language. It
resembled hieroglyphics, but it had no animal-like
characters.

(8) My father said the debris was recovered from a crash
site northwest of Roswell. He felt it was very unusual and
may have mentioned the words "flying saucer" in connection
with the material. He was certain it was not from a weather
balloon.

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

Signed: Jesse A. Marcel 6 Mar 91

There is a considerable amount of other supporting evidence,
such as signed testimonies, taped interviews, news reports,
and images; but it would take too much space here to present
it all. I encourage you to avail yourself of the Internet in
order to conduct your own research, and then reach your own
conclusions based upon the evidence, regarding the Roswell
UFO incident.

While some people may hold the erroneous view that tales of
UFO-related government cover-ups are just found in the realm
of UFO cultists and conspiracy theorists, it should be noted
that over the years, a number of reputable individuals have
stepped forward and demanded that the cover-ups end. A clear
example is Victor Marchetti, the former Special Assistant to
the Executive Director of the C.I.A. In his article "How The
CIA Views The UFO Phenomenon", which was published in the May
1979 edition of "Second Look", Marchetti not only states that
we have made contact with extraterrestrials, but he also says
that the U.S. Government, as well as other governments, are
purposely keeping this information from the general public:

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

"We have, indeed, been contacted, perhaps even visited, by
extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion
with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined
to keep this information from the general public."

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

Another high-profile American citizen who firmly believed
that alien civilizations have visited the Earth, and who was
convinced that the U.S. Government was covering up what it
knew about UFO's, was five-term Arizona Senator, and 1964
presidential nominee, Barry Goldwater. During a private
conversation with a NICAP official, concerning UFO's and
alien visitations to the Earth, held on July 16, 1969, at
the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which was the same day
that Apollo 11 lifted off into space, Goldwater remarked:

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

"That is accepted fact in Washington and especially at the
Pentagon . . ."

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

Within UFOlogy research circles, Goldwater is best known for
his famous run-in with General Curtis LeMay, Chairman of the
Military Joint Chiefs of Staff, as a result of his attempts
to gain entrance to a secret storage area at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base in Ohio. As many UFOlogists are aware, it has
long been believed that the U.S. Government stores recovered
alien technology at this base. In spite of his long military
career, and status as a U.S. Senator, Barry Goldwater wasn't
given permission to enter the hangar, and was in fact turned
away quite forcefully by General LeMay.

According to an interview published in the April 25, 1988
edition of "The New Yorker", Senator Goldwater stated that
LeMay had given him "holy hell", and had said to him "Not
only can't you get into it, but don't you ever mention it to
me again." In discussing what he had learned from his famous
Wright-Patterson experience, Goldwater also told his friend
from NICAP during that 1969 discussion:

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

". . . the UFO situation is the highest level of national
secrecy; much higher than the H-Bomb was, and more than
anything else that is known within the Pentagon, FBI, CIA,
DIA, NSA, etc. That is, nothing is higher security than
aliens being here on this planet . . . That, [the Wright-
Patterson experience], seemed to prove to me that UFO's were
a fact, and do exist. But, are they all aliens? I highly
suspect a majority are! Hell, they are no doubt far ahead of
our level of intelligence."

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

Finally, during another interview on the "Larry King Live"
radio program in 1988, when Mr. King asked him if he thought
that the U.S. Government was covering up what it knew about
UFO's, Senator Goldwater emphatically stated:

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

"Yes I do . . . I certainly believe in aliens in space. They
may not look like us, but I have very strong feelings that
they have advanced beyond our mental capabilities . . . I
think some highly secret government UFO investigations are
going on that we don't know about; and probably never will,
unless the Air Force discloses them."

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

In January of 1965, John W. McCormack, who was a three-time
House Majority Leader, and at that time was the Speaker of
the US House of Representatives, also clearly expressed his
view that he likewise believed that the American military,
and the U.S. Air Force in particular, was intentionally
concealing what it knew about the alien-UFO phenomenon. He
stated:

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

"I feel that the Air Force has not been giving out all the
available information on the Unidentified Flying Objects.
You cannot disregard so many unimpeachable sources."

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

Let's look at one of those "unimpeachable sources", shall we?
A first-person account of the American Government's willful
cover-up of interaction between humans and alien spacecrafts
comes from John Callahan. In 1986, Callahan was the Division
Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA,
or Federal Aviation Administration, in Washington, D.C. This
was a position that Callahan held for a period of six years.
It was a job which required that one be level-headed at all
times. Earlier in this series, we discussed the amazing UFO
encounter of a Japanese pilot by the name of Kenju Terauchi.
In 1986, he was a senior captain with Japan Airlines, or JAL.
As you may recall, while flying a 747 from Paris to Tokyo,
Captain Terauchi and his two-man crew encountered a UFO in
the vicinity of Anchorage, Alaska. The UFO tailed them for a
period of thirty-one minutes.

Exactly how does Callahan fit into this story? Contrary to
his wishes, he was directly involved in the FAA's cover-up
of this definitive UFO event. In October of 2000, Callahan
gave a video interview to "The Disclosure Project", headed
by Dr. Steven Greer. In his interview, Callahan explained in
his own words how the Reagan Administration, and the CIA in
particular, forced everyone to keep quiet about the Alaska
UFO encounter. Following are some excerpts from Callahan's
testimony to "The Disclosure Project":

----- Begin Quotes -----

"They brought in three people from the FBI, three people
from the CIA, and three people from Reagan's Scientific
Study team. I don't know who the rest of the people were but
they were all excited . . ."

"When they got done, they actually swore all these other
guys in there that this never took place; we never had this
meeting; and this was never recorded."

"I said, 'Well I don't know why you are saying this. I mean,
there was something there; and if it's not the Stealth
Bomber, then you know, it's a UFO. And if it's a UFO, why
wouldn't you want the people to know?' Oh, they got all
excited over that. You don't even want to say those words.
He said this is the first time they ever had 30 minutes of
radar data on a UFO, and they are all itching to get their
hands onto the data, and to find out what it is, and what
really goes on. He says if they come out and told the
American public that they ran into a UFO out there, it would
cause panic across the country; so therefore, you can't talk
about it."

"When the CIA told us that this never happened, and we never
had this meeting, I believe it was because they didn't want
the public to know that this was going on."

"But as far as I'm concerned, I saw a UFO chase a Japanese
747 across the sky for over half an hour on radar; and it's
faster than anything that I know of in our government."

"Well, I've been involved in a lot of cover-ups with the FAA.
When we gave the presentation to the Reagan staff, I was
behind the group that was there. And when they were speaking
to the people in the room, they had all those people swear
that this never happened; but they never had me swear it
never happened. And it always bothered me that we have these
things going on, and when you see something, or you hear
something on the radio or TV, the news, that it's put down
as it's not there. I have a hard time saying nothing."

"For those people that say that if these UFO's existed, they
would someday be on radar, and that there'd be professionals
who would see it, then I can tell them that back in 1986,
there were enough professional people that saw it. It was
brought down to headquarters, FAA headquarters, Washington
D.C. The Administrator saw the tape of it. The people that
we were debriefing, they've all seen. Reagan's Scientific
Study team, three of those professors, doctors, they've seen
it. As far as I was concerned, they were the ones that
verified my own thoughts about it. They were very, very
excited about the data."

"What I can tell you, is what I've seen with my own eyes.
I've got a videotape. I've got the voice tape. I've got the
reports that were filed that will confirm what I've been
telling you. And I'm one of those, what you would call the
high Government officials in the FAA. I was a Division
Chief. I was only three or four down from the Admiral."

This same point of view, that is, that the U.S. Government
is purposely hiding the truth, and distorting the facts, is
also held by some members of the academic world, such as at
Yale University. The following interesting comment is found
in the Volume XXXVII, Number 7, April, 1963 edition of Yale
Scientific Magazine:

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

"Based upon unreliable and unscientific surmises as data,
the Air Force develops elaborate statistical findings which
seem impressive to the uninitiated public unschooled in the
fallacies of the statistical method. One must conclude that
the highly publicized Air Force pronouncements, based upon
unsound statistics, serve merely to misrepresent the true
character of the UFO phenomena."

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

On March 6, 1998, well-known British theoretical physicist
and mathematician, Stephen Hawking, was a guest lecturer at
the second Millennium Evening, held at the White House. The
event received coverage from the American television program
"C-SPAN". During a TV segment called "Imagination And Change:
Science In The Next Millennium", Professor Hawking discussed
the dangers of over-population, and the potential threat of
nuclear self-annihilation. Then, in the presence of President
Clinton and his wife, Hawking matter-of-factly stated:

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

"Clearly the present exponential growth cannot continue
indefinitely. So what will happen? One possibility is that
we wipe ourselves out completely by some disaster such as a
nuclear war . . . There is a sick joke that the reason we
have not been visited by extra-terrestrials, is that when a
civilization reaches our stage of development, it becomes
unstable and destroys itself . . . Of course it is possible
that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe,
and the government is hushing it up."

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

In addition to publishing reports which deny the existence of
aliens and UFO's, another tactic used by the U.S. Government,
is to discredit the source. In other words, if any credible
person, such as a government employee, or military personnel,
or a respectable scientist, steps forward to share the truth,
the government implements immediate damage control, whereby
the individual is ridiculed, painted as a fraud, or made to
appear emotionally unstable. UFO believers are convinced that
this strategy was used against Bob Lazar, which, according to
them, is why he cannot prove any of his claims of ever having
worked at Papoose Lake, Area 51 S-4. This very same strategy
was used with the Roswell incident, and it's undoubtedly been
used with many other UFO-related incidents as well.

To add weight to my previous comments, consider the fact that
in a signed statement to Congress, dated August 22, 1960, the
former Director of the C.I.A., (Central Intelligence Agency),
Vice Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, had the following to
say, which clearly proves that the American Government, and
the U.S. military, rely upon ridicule, and other tactics, to
silence credible UFO witnesses:

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

"It is time for the truth to be brought out . . . Behind the
scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned
about the UFO's; but through official secrecy and ridicule,
many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects
are nonsense . . . I urge immediate Congressional action to
reduce the dangers from secrecy about unidentified flying
objects."

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

One thing is for certain: Hillenkoetter was convinced that
the UFO phenomenon is real; although he candidly admitted
that he didn't know from where they originated, or what
their objective might be. He stated:

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

"Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control. It
is imperative that we learn where UFO's come from and what
their purpose is."

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

Vice Admiral Hillenkoetter was by no means alone in exposing
the U.S. Government's strategy of ridiculing any government
official who dared to speak publicly about their experiences
with UFO's. Another important military figure to step forward
was Major Donald E. Keyhoe of the United States Marine Corps.
He was a prominent figure within UFO research circles during
the 1950's through the 1970's. He authored five books on the
subject, including "The Flying Saucers Are Real", "Flying
Saucers From Outer Space", "The Flying Saucer Conspiracy",
"Flying Saucers: Top Secret" and "Aliens From Outer Space".

In early 1957, Keyhoe was appointed as the director of NICAP,
or the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena.
NICAP was founded by physicist Thomas Townsend Brown. While
NICAP was a civilian organization, its membership included
some very professional individuals, including scientists of
various fields, military personnel, doctors, journalists, etc.
Vice Admiral Hillenkoetter was a member of the board of NICAP
as well.

While there is considerable debate regarding the real purpose
of NICAP, some people believe that Major Keyhoe's motivations
were pure, and that he earnestly sought to bear pressure on
the American Government, so that it would reveal everything
that it knew about the UFO phenomenon. In fact, some people
believe that it was Keyhoe's insistence on discovering the
truth regarding UFO's, that resulted in his dismissal as the
director of NICAP in 1969. NICAP was ultimately disbanded,
at least publicly, in 1980; however, a lot of people remain
convinced that the U.S. Government continues to thoroughly
investigate serious UFO sightings to this very day.

In fact, if we look back even further, it becomes apparent
that the U.S. Government has a propensity for attempting to
deceive the public when it concerns UFO investigations. Back
in 1952, the United States Air Force initiated a similar UFO
study called Project Blue Book; the purpose of which was to
ascertain whether or not UFO's pose a national security risk.
What I find rather ironic, is that on one hand, the American
Government insists that UFO's are not real; yet on the other,
it initiates these various programs to determine if UFO's do
pose a national threat. By the very act of investigating the
UFO's, is it not in fact suggesting that they're real, or at
the very least, admitting that there's something concrete to
the phenomenon? So as I stated earlier, the U.S. Government
appears to be playing both ends of the field.

According to one Internet source, a January 1953 CIA report
included the following revealing statement concerning the
deceptive and manipulative nature of the American Government,
when it comes to the alien-UFO phenomenon. I was unable to
locate the source of this piece of information:

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

"We've been ordered to work up a national debunking campaign,
planting articles in magazines and arranging broadcasts, to
make UFO reports sound like poppycock."

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

During the late 1960's, with the support and encouragement
of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the USAF approached the faculty of
the University of Colorado with the idea of having some of
their scientists conduct a study of UFO's. The basis for the
study would be the many UFO files which had been collected
by Project Blue Book, as well as files from NICAP and APRO,
or the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. APRO was the
parent organization of MUFON, or Mutual UFO Network. This
UFO study would eventually become officially known as the
"University of Colorado UFO Project", but is more commonly
known as the "Condon Committee".

The project was directed by noted physicist Edward U. Condon,
and coordinated by Robert J. Low, who was an assistant dean
at the university. The committee consisted of approximately
fifteen key members who would change over the course of the
next three years, 1966 to 1968. In addition to Edward Condon
and Robert J. Low, these members would include psychologists
William A. Scott, David R. Saunders, Michael Wertheimer, Dan
Culbertson and James Wadsworth; astronomer Franklin Roach,
astronomer William K. Hartman; chemist Roy Craig; electrical
engineer Norman Levine; physicist Frederick Ayer; and Mary
Louise Armstrong, who served as the administrative assistant.
There were other people involved with the project as well,
who served as consultants, or in part-time capacities, such
as James E. McDonald, J. Allen Hynek, Dr. Jacques Vallée and
Gordon David Thayer.

Due to the questionable and highly controversial nature of
the study, it required some manipulation on the part of the
Air Force, in order to convince some of the university's
faculty to join the study. Naturally, they were concerned
about their reputations. In fact, a string of universities
had refused to take up the study for this very reason. To
ease the university's concerns, on August 9, 1966, Robert
Low sent a private memorandum to Thurston Marshall, who at
the time, was the university's vice president. In the memo,
commonly known as the "Trick Memo", Mr. Low spelled out the
real objective of the Condon Committee's study when he said:

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

"Our study would be conducted almost entirely by
non-believers who, though they couldn't possibly prove a
negative result, could and probably would add an impressive
body of thick evidence that there is no reality to the
observations. The trick would be, I think, to describe the
project so that, to the public, it would appear a totally
objective study but, to the scientific community, would
present the image of a group of non-believers trying their
best to be objective but having an almost zero expectation
of finding a saucer."

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

While the "Trick Memo" has been the subject of considerable
debate, many people remain convinced that the context of the
memo is that while the Condon Committee would pass itself
off to the American public as conducting a true scientific
study of the UFO phenomenon, in reality, it was destined to
reach a foregone conclusion: UFO's simply don't exist. In
fact, in the final report that was issued by the committee
about three years later, which is commonly referred to as
the "Condon Report", but which is known in official circles
as the "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects",
Edward U. Condon clearly states:

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

"Our general conclusion is that nothing has come from the
study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to
scientific knowledge. Careful consideration of the record as
it is available to us leads us to conclude that further
extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the
expectation that science will be advanced thereby."

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

Because Edward Condon and Robert Low embraced such a biased,
skeptical attitude from the very start, the Condon Committee
was plagued with a variety of problems from its inception.
The tension and division within the committee reached such a
height, that eventually, NICAP refused to provide additional
UFO case documents, and ultimately, NICAP pulled out of the
project; a number of committee members resigned and had to
be replaced; and accusations and legal challenges flared.

As a result of the Condon Committee's biased conclusions that
all UFO sightings have conventional explanations, and as such
don't require further study, Project Blue Book was officially
shut down in December of 1969. The entire affair, including
the Trick Memo, was eventually exposed in the American media,
such as in a May 14, 1968 "LOOK" Magazine article, entitled
"Flying Saucer Fiasco".

To this day, there are a number of critics, including some
former members of the Condon Committee, who have insisted
that the Condon Report was not only heavily biased and quite
unscientific, but that it was in fact carefully crafted so
as to give the U.S. Air Force exactly what it wanted; that
is, an acceptable excuse for terminating Project Blue Book.
In his critique entitled "An Analysis of the Condon Report
on the Colorado UFO Project", Astrophysicist Peter A.
Sturrock states in part:

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

"The great weight attached to this report by scientists, by
the public and perhaps by officers of the federal government,
is based on the presumption that the study was, in fact,
scientific. This has been disputed by a number of individuals
. . . of the fifteen top staff members, at least twelve . . .
definitely disagreed with [Condon]."
