To the south, Spain was also experiencing its share of UFO
encounters, and some Spanish government officials likewise
made public their views concerning the unusual phenomenon.
One such person was Carlos Castro Cavero, who was a general
in the Spanish Air Force, and the former commander of the
Third Aerial Region. In a June 27, 1976 interview which was
published in the "Gaceta del Norte" in Balboa, Spain, Cavero
made the following comments to reporter J. J. Benitez:

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

"I believe that UFO's are spaceships or extraterrestrial
craft . . . The nations of the world are currently working
together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There
is an international exchange of data. Maybe when this group
of nations acquires more precise and definite information,
it will be possible to release the news to the world."

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

Later that same year, (1976), a significant UFO event took
place on the outskirts of Tehran, Iran, when two F-4 jets
from the Shahrokhi Air Force Base had an amazing encounter
with something which even shook the halls of the Pentagon.
As Roland B. Evans, an Air Force Major and Pentagon analyst
would later comment, the Tehran UFO incident was a "classic
that meets all the criteria necessary for a valid study of
the UFO phenomenon". The incident, which took place on the
night of September 18th, and the early morning hours of the
19th, was reported in the November 1976 issue of the NICAP
newsletter, "NICAP UFO Investigator". A much more detailed
account was included in an article by Bob Pratt entitled
"The Pentagon's 'Classic' UFO Case". In the interest of
imparting this important information to you, I'm once more
relying upon the "Fair Use" clause of the US Copyright Act
to share the following contents of the NICAP newsletter:

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

"Shortly after midnight on September 19, 1976, the Iranian
Air Force command post in Tehran, Iran started receiving
calls from local citizens reporting a strange object in the
sky. The object was variously described as, "Bird-like," "A
bright light," and "A helicopter with a shining light." The
command post duty officer, knowing there were no helicopters
in the area, called B.G. Yousefi, Assistant Deputy Commander
of Operations for instructions. Yousefi told the citizens
that they were observing a star. However, after talking with
control tower personnel, he decided that possibly something
unusual was being observed and that he should see for
himself.

The object he saw was like a star but much bigger and
brighter. So much so that he made the decision to scramble a
F-4 jet from Shahrokhi Air Force Base to investigate.

F-4 Interception With UFO

At 1:30 AM the F-4 sped down the Shahrokhi runway for a take
off to intercept the UFO. The crew headed north of Tehran
toward the brilliant light 70 miles ahead of them. The
flight proceeded uneventfully for about 40 miles, but as the
F-4 continued its intercept path all communications and
instrumentation (Intercommunication and UHF) were suddenly
lost. The pilot immediately changed course, breaking off the
intercept and headed back for Shahrokhi. After the F-4
turned away from the UFO the jet regained all communications
and instrumentation. Was the F-4 no longer a threat?

Second Interception Attempt Made

A second F-4 took off at 1:40 AM in an attempt to accomplish
what the first jet had failed to do . . . identify the UFO.
As this F-4 neared the UFO, radar contact was made by the
crew. The size of the radar return was about the same as a
return from a 707 jet aircraft. The size of the UFO was
difficult to determine visually because of its brilliance.
The relative speeds of the F-4 and the UFO were such that
the jet was drawing closer at a rate of 150 nautical MPH.

As the F-4, flying at a speed greater than Mach 1, reached
the same distance from the UFO that the prior communication
loss occurred, the UFO increased its speed. This
acceleration of the UFO was confirmed visually and by the
aircraft's instrument board radar. The pilot (Lt. Fafari)
was unable to close the distance and paced the UFO through
Iran's clear night sky. The crew followed the intensely
brilliant UFO and noted its light was like flashing strobe
lights arranged in a rectangular pattern. The lights were
alternating blue, green, red and orange in color. The
flashing of the lights was so rapid that all colors could be
seen at the same time.

The UFO and the pursuing F-4 were on a course taking them
south of Tehran when suddenly another smaller brilliant
object came out of the UFO.

F-4 Missile Fails To Fire

This second object came directly toward the pursuing F-4
traveling at a very high rate of speed. The pilot started to
fire an AIM-9 missile at the rapidly approaching object, but
at the moment his weapons control panel went off and
simultaneously he lost all communications.

With no other defense left, the pilot turned sharply and put
the F-4 into a dive in an attempt to evade the projectile
from the UFO. The maneuver was not successful since as the
F-4 continued its diving turn, the object changed course and
trailed the jet briefly at a distance estimated to be 3 to 4
miles. It then increased its speed, went to the inside of
the jet's turn, and climbed back to rejoin the "Mother
ship."

Part Of UFO Appears To Crash

After the projectile returned to the "Mother ship," the crew
of the F-4 terminated the evasive maneuvers and again
followed the object. The weapon control panel and
communications aboard the F-4 were again operative.

As the crew watched and chased the rapidly moving UFO,
another object appeared to emerge from its side and dive at
a great speed toward the earth far below. The men directed
their attention toward this diving object in anticipation of
a large explosion upon impact. However, instead of
exploding, the object appeared to come to rest gently in the
hills below. The "Mother ship" sped away at a rate estimated
to be many times the speed of sound.

The resting object was casting a very bright light over an
area estimated to be 2-3 kilometers in diameter. The pilot
brought his F-4 down through the upper atmosphere and
circled at a safe altitude above the UFO until the light
went out. While circling, the crew carefully noted the
position of the object on the ground.

The F-4 headed back to its base guided by a crew that was
having difficulty in regaining their night vision after
viewing the brilliant UFO. During their return they noted a
great deal of UHF radio interference, and they completely
lost all communications each time they passed through a
certain magnetic bearing. A civil airliner that was
approaching the area during this same time also experienced
communication problems when on the same magnetic bearing.
The crew of this aircraft did not see the UFO.

The F-4 crew still had not regained their night vision upon
their arrival at the base. After circling the field a few
times, they decided to go out for a long, gradual straight
in landing. While on their long approach, the crew noticed a
cylinder shaped object about the size of a jet fighter
coming toward them at a higher altitude. The object had
bright lights on each end and a flashing light in the
center. In response to a radio inquiry control tower
personnel stated that no other air traffic was known to be
in the area. This object passed above the F-4 while tower
personnel attempted to make visual contact. The sighting was
confirmed when the pilot directed the ground watchers
attention to the proper portion of the night sky.

Daylight Inspection of the Landing Site

Shortly after dawn on September 19, the F-4 crew boarded a
helicopter to return to the site of the UFO landing. No
trace of the landing was found at the site (a dry lakebed),
but the area is being checked for possible changes in
radiation levels. The helicopter left the area and circled
off to the west. As they were leaving the site, the
helicopter radio started picking up a very noticeable beeper
signal. Near the point where the signal was being received
most clearly, the crew noticed an isolated farm house. They
landed and asked the resident if he had noticed anything
unusual the night before. The farmer replied that he had
noticed a loud sound and a very bright light in the area of
the landing site."

As I mentioned earlier, in his October 12, 1976 evaluation
report, Major Roland B. Evans stated that the Tehran UFO
event was a "classic that meets all the criteria necessary
for a valid study of the UFO phenomenon". Exactly what are
these criteria? In his article "The Pentagon's 'Classic' UFO
Case", Bob Pratt attributes the following to Major Evans:

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

a) The object was seen by multiple witnesses from different
locations (i.e. Shemiran, Mehrabad, and the dry lake bed)
and viewpoints (both) airborne and from the ground.

b) The credibility of many of the witnesses was high (an air
force general, qualified aircrews and experienced tower
operators)

c) Visual sightings were confirmed by radar.

d) Similar electromagnetic effects (EME) were reported by
three separate aircraft.

e) There were physiological effects in some crew members
(i.e., loss of night vision due to the brightness of the
object).

f) An inordinate amount of maneuverability was displayed by
the UFOs.

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

As we've already seen, the problem that many UFO observers
face, particularly if there is any degree of credibility to
their stories, is that when they report their sightings or
encounters, the U.S. Government is quick to discredit them
by any means possible.

According to a number of individuals with current or former
ties with the U.S. Government, and who are now aligned with
The Disclosure Project, when ridicule tactics fail to work,
the American Government will resort to intimidation, as well
as other heavy-handed forms of persuasion, including making
threats against individuals and their immediate families, in
order to keep them quiet. In the case of military personnel,
they are reminded of the oaths they took to protect their
country, and their duty to not discuss sensitive issues with
the general public. They're also warned of the repercussions
they will face if they choose to break those vows.

In an address to the United Nations in 1985, in which the
topic was extraterrestrial intelligence, American astronaut,
Colonel L. Gordon Cooper, who participated in the Mercury
and Gemini missions, mentioned this oath, and then revealed
the secret with which he had been forced to live for many
years. He stated in part:

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

"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their
crews are visiting this planet from other planets which
obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are
here on Earth. I feel that we need to have a top level,
coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze
data from all over the Earth concerning any type of
encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these
visitors in a friendly fashion.

For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy
imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal
that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture
objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are
thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to
prove this, but nobody wants to make them public."

----- End Quotes -----

In the August 15, 1976 edition of the Los Angeles Herald
Examiner, Astronaut Cooper was also quoted as having stated
the following regarding alien visitations to Earth, and the
U.S. Government's intentional cover-up of said phenomenon:

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

"Intelligent beings from other planets regularly visit our
world in an effort to enter into contact with us. I have
encountered various ships during my space voyages. NASA and
the American government know this and possess a great deal
of evidence. Nevertheless, they remain silent in order to
not alarm the people."

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

Over twenty-one years later, on January 14, 1997, Cooper also
let it be known that there are other American astronauts who
share his feelings concerning the UFO phenomenon and who want
the U.S. Government to come clean with what it really knows
about the visitation to Earth of extraterrestrial crafts. He
stated:

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

"I know other astronauts share my feelings . . . And we know
the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFO's."

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

In July of 2000, while in Washington, D.C. promoting his new
book "Leap Of Faith: An Astronaut's Journey In The Unknown",
in which he pressures the U.S. Government to reveal what it
knows regarding the visitation of alien life forms to Earth,
Gordon Cooper also made these candid comments:

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

"Each administration has probably tried to figure out how,
with the least embarrassment, they could confess to this
whole thing . . . They need to clean the slate about what
has been going on or has not been going on . . . There
certainly have been too many people, very qualified people
and qualified groups of people, that have had interface of
one type or another with extraterrestrial craft or beings.
. . . To really deny that something is going on and deny
that they definitely exist . . . we need a little more
explanation."

----- End Quotes -----

Looking back on his speech before the United Nations years
before, Cooper also added with an air of disappointment:

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

"I made the effort to get the U.N. to pick up the ball. They
thought it was a great idea, but they never did anything
about it."

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

Gordon Cooper was no stranger to the UFO phenomenon, as he
had been involved in his own experiences years before. For
example, in 1951, while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over the
western part of Germany, he spotted a number of UFO's. The
objects were described as being metallic, saucer-shaped
discs. They were at a very high altitude, and were clearly
capable of out-maneuvering any American fighter plane. In
reflecting back on his experiences in Germany, Cooper would
later tell the United Nations in 1985:

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

"I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation
of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in
fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe."

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

Twelve years later, on May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper commanded
a Mercury capsule. Its mission was to orbit the Earth twenty-
two times. As the mission neared its end, on the last orbit,
Cooper informed the Muchea tracking station, located not far
from Perth, Australia, that a glowing, greenish object was
rapidly approaching his capsule. Unlike many reported UFO's
which can't be verified by hard, physical evidence, Cooper's
object was definitely real, as it was visible on the Muchea
tracking station's radar. The Mercury flight was receiving
coverage by the American television network, NBC, which did
in fact report Cooper's sighting. However, after Cooper had
completed the mission, reporters were informed that they
could not question him further regarding what he had seen.

In extreme cases, it's been claimed that the U.S. Government
will even resort to murder in order to silence a leak, and
to keep a particular government secret from being revealed.

One well-known, highly-controversial incident involves former
Secretary of Defense, James V. Forrestal. Sources within the
UFO community allege that Mr. Forrestal, who had previously
been the Secretary of the Navy and then became the very first
Secretary of Defense during the Truman administration, became
involved with a secret committee known as "Majestic 12". This
committee, which was also known as "MJ-12", was authorized by
President Harry Truman, and was comprised of twelve men with
top security clearance, from the US Government, the military
establishment, and the science community. Its purpose was to
investigate the Roswell crash incident, and to keep the alien
presence on Earth concealed from the American public at all
cost. It is said that this powerful committee was answerable
only to the U.S. President; although some people claim that
even some U.S. presidents were out of the loop when it came
to MJ-12.

According to the story circulated within UFOlogy circles, at
some point in time, Forrestal made the decision to go public
with the information he had regarding the alien presence on
Earth. Apparently, as a result of this decision, on the 28th
of March, 1949, he was removed from office. Almost two months
later, after allegedly being held against his will, Forrestal
is claimed to have jumped to his death from the 16th floor of
the United States Naval Hospital National Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland on May 22, 1949.

In October of that same year, a medical report issued by the
Willcutts Review Board made no mention that James Forrestal
had committed suicide. It merely stated the condition of his
body, the approximate time of his death, the events leading
up to his death, and his alleged mental condition prior to
his death. The American mass media promoted a similar story.
Forrestal is said to have suffered a nervous breakdown after
his dismissal as Secretary of Defense. He was described as
being mentally unstable, suffering from depression, and of
course, suicidal. The public accepted this as fact; and not
long after that, the Forrestal story quietly slipped into
the past, thus avoiding further scrutiny or scandal.

But is this what really happened? Many people are convinced
that it isn't, beginning with Forrestal's own brother, Henry.
In interviews he gave, Henry Forrestal made it clear that he
was convinced that his brother had been murdered. He stated
that James Forrestal wasn't suicidal, and was in rather good
spirits, because he would soon be released from Bethesda. To
add further doubt to the official government version of the
story, Henry Forrestal revealed that his brother James died
just hours prior to Henry arriving to take him out of the
hospital. The official version also did not mention the fact
that when his body was discovered, Secretary Forrestal had a
bathrobe cord wrapped tightly around his neck. Henry was
convinced that his brother had been strangled, and then was
thrown out of the hospital window by his assassin(s).

If James Forrestal was indeed murdered, was it really due to
his intentions to expose the alien-UFO cover-up? While this
is what is believed by some people within the UFO community,
others beg to differ. According to the research I have done,
James Forrestal was a very powerful, very rich, and extremely
influential man. He was also very vociferous in his opinions,
and didn't hide his strong disapproval of the Zionist agenda,
and the creation of the State of Israel. Naturally, holding
such a position was bound to create enemies for him. Having
said that, some people believe that it was Forrestal's threat
to the survival of the young nation of Israel, which really
caused his downfall, and may even have resulted in his death.

Before moving on, allow me to mention one other interesting
point which is related to the above story. Over the decades,
many of us have heard or read a number of stories concerning
the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the
22nd of November in 1963. Similar to Forrestal, John Kennedy
was a well-liked man; yet on one fateful morning, his life
was suddenly cut short. Over the past four decades, there's
been considerable controversy surrounding Kennedy's death.
Some people argue that President Kennedy was the target of a
lone psychotic gunman by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald, who
they claim was a communist sympathizer. Others insist that
Oswald couldn't possibly have acted alone and that there was
an even larger conspiracy. It is said that this conspiracy
involved the CIA, the FBI, the Office of Naval Intelligence,
and the Secret Service. Many people remain convinced that it
was Kennedy's own limousine driver, a Secret Service agent
by the name of William Greer, who delivered the fatal shots
that morning, as Kennedy's motorcade made its way on the
outskirts of Dallas, Texas.

While many people have focused on who assassinated Kennedy,
the motivations behind his death have not been examined as
thoroughly. As I noted earlier, generally speaking, Kennedy
was a well-liked, extremely popular leader; a man who was
loved by a lot of people. If you ask non-Americans who they
consider to be one of the best presidents that the United
States of America has ever had, many of them won't hesitate
to respond that it was John F. Kennedy.

But due to some of his policies, Kennedy also had his share
of enemies. Some people believe that Kennedy was selling the
country to the communists, and that perhaps this is the real
reason behind his assassination. Others point to Kennedy's
desire to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the country,
which put him in opposition to some very powerful interest
groups. And yet others point out that John F. Kennedy wanted
the U.S. Government to print money which was fully backed by
actual silver deposits that were held in reserve by the U.S.
Government. This, of course, wasn't agreeable to the national
and international bankers who manipulate the world's economy
through the mass distribution of worthless "fiat money" that
hasn't been backed by real gold or silver for decades.

Like the rest of you, I honestly don't know who assassinated
Kennedy, or even why he was killed. It may very well be that
he was killed for one, some, or even all, of the above-noted
reasons. I was a young pre-teen boy at the time, and remember
watching the post-assassination events on our black and white
TV set. Being the skeptical, distrustful person that I tend
to be, particularly when it comes to the American Government,
I must admit, however, that, like others, I remain suspicious
of the fact that the blame was immediately cast on Lee Harvey
Oswald; who, as some people believe, was conveniently killed
by Jack Ruby. We can only wonder if Oswald's death was meant
to silence the truth forever.

While I was conducting research for this current series, I
did find it interesting to discover that there are a number
of people who believe that, like Secretary Forrestal, John
F. Kennedy was assassinated because he had intentions of
exposing the alien presence on Planet Earth. This is one of
the points that's mentioned by conspiracy theorist, author,
lecturer, radio host and UFO researcher, William Cooper, in
his rather controversial 1991 book, "Behold A Pale Horse".
Mr. Cooper delves into a number of topics which some readers
will find difficult to accept or believe. While Bill Cooper
initially believed that the alien threat was real, after a
number of years of research, he concluded that the threat of
an alien invasion was merely the fabrication of the secret
architects of the coming One World Government, or New World
Order.

In other words, Bill Cooper believed that the threat of an
invasion from Outer Space is merely a tool which the power
manipulators will use to coerce the countries of the world
into uniting under the banner of a One World Government. In
Cooper's view, this will be a Communist/Socialist state. At
first glance, such a scenario may seem rather far-fetched;
however, as you will see shortly, President Ronald Reagan
made certain eye-opening comments during his time in office,
which would seem to validate Cooper's belief, even if some
of Cooper's other theories are questionable, if not outright
nonsensical.

While I cannot vouch for the accuracy or the truthfulness of
Bill Cooper's book, (some people do consider him a fraud), I
think that it is worth mentioning that on November 5, 2001,
Cooper was shot and killed by deputies of the Apache County,
Arizona Sheriff's Office while they were attempting to serve
him an arrest warrant. According to the information I have
read, there were several warrants for his arrest on charges
of tax evasion, bank fraud, and aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon. While President Clinton supposedly considered
Bill Cooper to be "the most dangerous radio host in America",
a lot of conspiracy theorists are convinced that Cooper was
intentionally silenced by the US Government, and the powers
that control it. What do you think?

So is there any truth to this theory concerning Kennedy's
death and aliens and UFO's? I honestly don't know. I suggest
that you conduct your own investigation, and then make your
own determination. This Kennedy-UFO connection may just be
another one of the many wild stories we find floating around
on the Internet today. On the other hand, maybe it isn't.

As I began to explain earlier, some people believe that the
U.S. Government may be playing both ends of the field when
it comes to the alien-UFO controversy. On one hand, it may
be denying the existence of aliens and UFO's, such as with
the GAO report I mentioned previously; while simultaneously,
it may actually be fueling the alien-UFO debate; even going
so far as to intentionally plant some of its own so-called
UFO experts and researchers within the UFO community. Again,
I honestly don't know if there is any truth to this theory;
but if there is, why would the government do this?

According to some of the people who embrace this particular
theory, some UFO sightings and alleged alien encounters, and
even some of the alien-UFO websites, are actually part of a
well-orchestrated government plan to keep people away from
the truth. It is a massive disinformation campaign meant to
confuse people. What is the truth that these theorists claim
the government is hiding? Quite simply, that what some people
have mistaken for extraterrestrial spaceships, are in reality
the U.S. Government's very own "Black Projects", such as the
ones that are believed to be developed at Groom Lake, Papoose
Lake, Area 51 S-4, etc. People are seeing things which they
are not meant to see, so the U.S. Government simply creates a
cover story by letting them believe that they have had a UFO
sighting.

In his 1990 interview with the 50 GCAT magazine, Dr. Vallée
expressed similar views. He believes that the U.S. Government
has intentionally staged certain UFO events for a variety of
reasons. One of these, according to Vallée, is to protect its
own military secrets such as those related to Black Projects.
Jacques Vallée stated at that time:

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

"Anybody who is aware of technology today should know that
we have much more than a stealth fighter flying around. We
have capabilities, theoretical or practical, to make all
types of things. There is a massive development of nonlethal
platforms going on, that those platforms have to be tested
somewhere, they have to be disguised as something else from
time to time. There has been massive development of RPVs --
remotely piloted vehicles -- some of which are disk-shaped.
There is massive development of low observable technologies
that are used for reconnaissance, and can be used for all
sorts of other things. And in many cases, the UFO stories
are not simply fantasies in the minds of a few witnesses,
but may have been planted as part of a cover for some very
terrestrial technologies that we are developing."

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

Personally, I have to admit that this theory makes a lot of
sense. Given the popularity of the alien-UFO phenomenon, it
would certainly make the perfect cover for whatever the U.S.
Government is really doing at the Groom Lake facility, or at
other restricted military bases around the country. So maybe
they really are creating the very thing that they've denied.
Maybe the UFO phenomenon is just the red herring to keep all
of us off-track. One thing seems certain; the more that our
government leaders deny the existence of aliens and UFO's,
the more people want to believe that they do exist; so the
plan, if it is real, definitely seems to be working.
