    The K-2 Report]]

    Report # 1: By Staff # 2:
    Date: August 10, 1989, Time: 2212 PDT.
    Location: Approximately 40 miles southwest of K-2.

    A brightly glowing object was observed from my location. It
    was approximately 30-40 feet in diameter, moving slowly from south
    to north at 500 feet above the tree-tops.

    When first sighted, the object was approaching from the South
    and slowing down. When opposite my observation point, it stopped in
    mid-air and hovered. The object was glowing with a bright white
    light, as it approached. When it stopped and hovered, the color
    changed to a bright blue light.

    It remained stopped for approximately 15 seconds, then it
    changed back to a bright white color, as it started moving slowly
    (10-15 mph) toward the North in the direction of K-2.

    Observations: The object lit up the area, quite well, when it
    was glowing with the white light. No sound was produced by the
    object. Normal animal and insect sounds, in my area, were
    silenced. A light breeze, present before the object appeared,
    disappeared. Everything became very still, as the object was
    approaching and while it was hovering.

    The Moon was still below the horizon. The sky was clear and
    dark, with stars clearly visible.

    A "scanner" radio, I was monitoring, picked up severe noise 30
    seconds before, during, and while the object moved away from my
    location.

    I did not experience any electrical effects (tingling or prickly
    sensations) during the sighting.

    The sighting lasted approximately 45 seconds. There was not
    enough time to get a camera and take pictures.

    Within 10 minutes, after the object left the area, eight Air
    Force jet fighters (F-4s, judging from their sound and appearance)
    and moving very fast, went overhead traveling in the same direction
    the object had taken -- towards the North. Four minutes later, the
    fighters returned, heading south. I presumed the object had been
    spotted by their radar. Their quick return would indicate they lost
    radar contact with the object.

    Report # 3 By Staff # 2:
    Date: August 11, 1989, Time: 1500 PDT
    Location: K-2

    Following the events of the night before, I made a quick trip
    to check out the K-2 area.

    Observation: There was a "burned" or scorched area on the
    ground, 30 feet in diameter, at the LZ-1 (landing zone 1)
    apparently, where an object had landed. In the rush to get there,
    I forgot to take my camera. No pictures were obtained. After
    further checking out the area, I left. I decided to return the next
    day with a camera to get pictures of the burn marks.

    Report # 4 By Staff # 2:
    Date: August 12, 1989, Time: 1300 PDT
    Location: K-2

    Observation: Another quick trip to K-2 -- this time with the
    camera.

    "This second trip -- brought a surprise. The burned round mark
    on the ground wasn't there (the one I had observed the day before.
    The 30 foot diameter burned area). It looks like "they" (the Greys)
    had removed everything that would show they had landed there. I did
    some digging, but there was nothing to show for it. They had
    replaced the ground (the burned area) with new soil, including the
    dead grass that covers the ground. They seem to know we are on to
    them, and are making it difficult for us to prove anything. From
    now on, the camera goes with me everywhere." See Exhibits 19 and
    20.

    Memo
    August 12, 1989
    From Staff # 1
    To: Staff # 2

    Our contacts in the Air Force verify that on the night of
    August 10, 1989, at the time indicated in Report # 1 of that date,
    that eight F-4's, scrambled from Beale AFB, CA. They had a brief
    radar-lock, on a "bogie" in the area described. However, they lost
    the target, due to ground clutter when it suddenly descended into
    the mountainous terrain. They returned to the base when a further
    sweep of the area proved fruitless.

    You're right, the AF had a blip on their radar, but lost it
    when the ship dropped into that 20-mile approach corridor between
    the valleys and the radar dead zone.

    The events taking place, as described in the preceding
    reports, indicate on-going activity at the K-2 site. This activity,
    adds weight to the conclusions and evidence gathered by our Survey
    Team. Those findings were included in the "K-2, Special Report"
    Dated 7/28/89. These recent events taking place at K-2 validate our
    initial findings.

    Comments by Staff # 1
    Date: 8/29/89

    Observations of night-time activity at K-2, over the past
    month, indicate that alien crafts are making supply runs at two
    week intervals. All of our attempts, on site, to photograph or
    video tape their arrival, unloading and departures have failed. The
    aliens seem to detect our presence even though we have made every
    effort to remain concealed. On two occasions, from our concealed
    location, we have observed one of their craft making a landing
    approach. The craft suddenly veers off, about two miles from the
    base, and quickly leaves the area. For both practical and economic
    reasons we cannot continue this surveillance. In our opinion, we
    have validated the existence of the base and the alien activity
    associated with this site.

    ADDITIONAL CONCLUSION

    Previously, we mentioned the extreme curiosity exhibited by
    U.S. Forest Rangers, and their barrage of questions while we
    conducted the scientific survey of K-2 in July of 1989. The reason
    for their conduct and questions became known in August of 1989 and
    during the course of subsequent investigations at K-2. Refer to
    Exhibit 21.

    As a result of the public disclosure of the Alien Base
    revealed in this report, it will prove most interesting to observe
    what action is taken by any unit of the U.S. Government to deal
    with this situation. It is doubtful they will allow an Alien Base
    to operate right under their noses.

    This would be an excellent occasion for the public, in large
    numbers, to camp out at the K-2 site, use their home video cameras
    to record what activity occurs and whether they are ordered to
    leave the area.

    Also, without a doubt, it is not difficult to predict a
    scenario in which well-paid and learned government experts will
    proclaim that no alien base exists at K-2. In the interim, nobody
    would be surprised, would they (??), if the area was suddenly
    fenced off by a double perimeter chain-link fence and patrolled by
    security guards. The public may even be denied any access to the
    area. Now, what would that suggest to you?

    It's something of a Catch-22 situation for the government. Any
    action taken to suppress the alien base will be revealed and
    noticed by the public, and any in-action, hoping people will forget
    it, allows the aliens to continue their operations. It's a bad
    situation for the aliens, as well. All the publicity and people
    hanging around the area will disrupt their activities. Somehow,
    the term "poetic justice" seems correct in this situation. Perhaps
    you'll agree.

    THE ULTIMATE SECRET

    A Special Report and Overview
    Prepared by The Phoenix Project

    OVERVIEW:

    The Top Secret Operation Majestic-12 was established by order
    of President Harry S. Truman in 1947. Operation Majestic-12, was
    created to take charge of the technical, sociological and other
    aspects of the crashed UFOs and the small alien occupants, dead or
    alive, that were recovered. In later years this operation evolved
    into and became known as MAJI (the Majority Agency for Joint
    Intelligence). MAGI is the most secret of all intelligence groups
    and out-ranks all other intelligence agencies including the
    National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency
    (CIA). MAJI is responsible directly and "only" to the President of
    the United States.

    / MAJIC / MAJI

    The TOP SECRET / MAJI project control group is responsible for
    every aspect of interface with the alien lifeforms including
    security and intelligence, and disinformation to prevent public or
    foreign disclosure of the alien presence. (This is why all
    documents referring to "MJ-12" or any other form of that name are
    wrong). MAJI is on-going in Washington DC.

    MAJIC: Is the security classification of all MAJI and Aquarius information. MAJIC means "MAJI CONTROLLED." MAJIC is the highest
    security classification in the nation.

    MJ-1: DIRECTOR OF MAJI. The Director of the CIA is usually
    MJ-1 and reports only to the President. Other members of MAJI are
    designated MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, etc. This is the reason MJ-12 cannot
    be used as a name for the control group as it would cause confusion
    in meaning, i.e., (Is it referring to MJ-12 the person or MJ-12 the
    group.) Any reference to MJ-12 is to a person and nothing else.
    References and documents referring to "MJ-12" as a "Group" are
    incorrect.

    MAJI, originally was known as Majestic-12, a group consisting
    of twelve members. This group was made up of a team representing
    selected government officials, U.S. intelligence personnel, highly
    trained scientists, business executives and military personnel. All
    were sworn to total secrecy. MAJI has continued its covert
    activities with the knowledge and consent of the last eight
    Presidents. (See Exhibit 1, part of the briefing papers for
    president-elect Eisenhower.)

    The group continues to function today and has had the
    responsibility of establishing an ongoing relationship dating from
    1964, with UFO beings (the Greys) from the third planet of the star
    system Zeta Reticuli.

    Information forwarded to and the activity of MAJI has always
    been assigned an Above "Top Secret classification," known as MAJIC.
    MAJI, to conceal its existence, adopted the cover name of
    "Majestic-12." It created numerous covert and compartmented
    sub-divisions such as Projects Aquarius, Sigma, Snowbird and
    Garnet, to name a few. These projects were sheltered by MAJI and
    directed by select personnel of the Central Intelligence Agency
    (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA).

    By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5410, Eisenhower had
    preceded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent committee to
    be known as Majority Twelve to oversee and conduct all covert
    activities concerned with the alien question. NSC 5412/1 was
    created to explain the purpose of these meetings when Congress and
    the news media became curious. Majority Twelve was made up of
    Nelson Rockefeller, the director of the CIA Allen Welsh Dulles, the
    Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of Defense
    Charles E. Wilson, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
    Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Director of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover,
    and six men from the executive committee of the Council on Foreign
    Relations known as the "Wise Men." These men were all members of a
    secret society of scholars that called themselves "The Jason
    Society," or "The Jason Scholars" who recruited their members from
    the "Skull and Bones" and the "Scroll and Key" societies of Harvard
    and Yale.

    The "Wise Men" were key members of the Council on Foreign
    Relations. There were twelve members including the first six from
    Government positions thus Majority Twelve. This group was made up
    over the years of the top officers and directors of the Council on
    Foreign Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordon Dean,
    George Bush, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among them. The most
    important and influential of the "Wise Men" who served on
    Majestic-12 were John McCloy, Robert Lovett, Averell Harriman,
    Charles Bohlen, George Kennan, and Dean Acheson. It is significant
    that President Eisenhower as well as the first six Majestic-12
    members from the Government were also members of the Council on
    Foreign Relations. However, not all the "Wise Men" attended Harvard
    or Yale and not all of them were chosen from the "Skull and Bones"
    or "Scroll and Key" membership during their college years.
    [{Research indicates that various members were chosen on an ongoing
    basis by invitation based upon merit and was not confined to those
    who had attended only Harvard or Yale}] Further information
    regarding this can be obtained from the book "The Wise Men" by
    Walter Issacson and Even Thomas, Simon and Schuster, New York.

    A chosen few were later initiated into the Jason Society. They
    are all members of the Council on Foreign Relations and at that
    time were known as the "Eastern Establishment." The Jason Society
    is alive and well today but has expanded to include members of the
    Trilateral Commission as well. The Trilateralists' existed secretly
    several years before 1973. The name of the Trilateral Commission
    was taken from the alien flag known as the "Trilateral Insignia."
    See Exhibit 10A The Jason Society.

    BACKGROUND:

    In 1947 and again in the early 1950's, Army and Air Force
    military units -- on direct orders from the Pentagon -- rushed to
    various sites of UFO crashes located in the Southwestern part of
    the United States and carted away the unearthly remains. Remains
    consisting of both crashed UFOs and their alien occupants. The 1947
    events prompted the creation of Operation Majestic-12 by President
    Truman.

    The wreckage and dead bodies obtained from these early crash
    retrievals were originally stored at Wright Patterson Air Force
    Base, Dayton, Ohio. According to military sources who later went
    against orders and decided to talk, Hangar 18 was used for this
    purpose. All reports of crashed UFOs and extraterrestrial contacts
    have always bypassed normal reporting procedures and channels of
    the military, and other intelligence agencies. Instead, they were
    sent directly to Project Aquarius. (See Exhibits 2 and 3).

    All "hard" information regarding UFOs was routed directly to
    Operation Majestic-12. This explains why other intelligence
    agencies and Project Bluebook, [the official and public Air Force
    investigative activity] never received this information or knew
    about crashed UFOs, recovered spacecraft, or alien beings.

    In later years, a joint CIA/AF covert operation, using six C-
    124 aircraft, recovered the wreckage, instruments, dead bodies and
    alien artifacts of crashed UFOs from Wright Patterson and other Air
    Force bases, world-wide, and moved them to a newly-built,
    underground, storage facility at Edwards Air Force, California. The
    entrance to this underground facility is through a hangar located
    at the end of the same runway now used by NASA's space shuttles.
    According to eye-witness testimony, the CIA agent in charge of this
    covert operation, wearing the uniform of an AF Colonel, was William
    C. Cooper.

    Note: The information in the preceding paragraph was supplied
    by an eye-witness who participated in the covert operation
    described, working side-by-side with the CIA agent in charge. This
    witness testifies that this is the same William C. Cooper, who has
    been prominent since 1988 in the civilian UFO movement.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    The Ultimate Secret, is that MAJI and the U.S. government has
    in its possession spaceships manufactured on other worlds, as well
    as the occupants of those interstellar crafts. And, that since
    1964, has maintained radio contact with the aliens through Project
    Sigma. They have also entered into various technical and "trade
    agreements" with the beings from Zeta Reticuli, named the Greys.
    (See Exhibit 4).

    Note: Communication with the Greys (by Project Sigma) has been
    an accomplished fact since April of 1964. Therefore, the NASA
    sponsored "SETI" Program (The Search for Extraterrestrial
    Intelligence) is merely being used as another method to provide
    covert funding for MAJI projects under the guise of a legitimate
    program. (See Exhibit 5).

    The Greys, as their part of the trade agreements, were to
    provide MAJI and the U.S. government with various forms of advanced
    technology. In exchange, the Greys are provided with secret bases
    of operation within the United States; bases protected by the Greys
    and U.S. Military forces. In exchange, MAJI agreed to conceal all
    knowledge of their presence.

    Part of the "trade agreements" was an exchange program that
    allowed the aliens to abduct U.S. Citizens for experimental
    medical, psychological and genetic research purposes -- the Grey's
    were to provide lists of persons abducted to the National Security
    Agency (NSA), for later government follow-up if such persons, when
    released, required medical assistance or psychological adjustment.

    ADDENDA

    During 1972-1973, a period of two years, an area South of
    Groom Lake (one of the nation's most secret test centers in Nevada)
    was closed and a huge underground facility was constructed for and
    with the help of the Greys. This facility was built South of Area-
    51 in another location named Area-S4. This location is just east
    of, and adjacent to the Nevada Atomic Test site.

    The bargained for technology was set in place, but could only
    be operated by the Grey's themselves, to prevent their advanced
    technology being used against them. Another secret underground base
    was provided the Greys in a location known as the "Ice Caves" near
    the Los Alamos Laboratory Facility in New Mexico. Over a period of
    the next six years, four more secret bases were provided the Greys
    in other isolated areas of the United States.

    During the years 1979 through 1983, it became increasingly
    obvious to MAJI that things were not going as planned. It became
    known that many more people (in the thousands) were being abducted
    than were being listed on the official abduction list. The list the
    Greys were supplying the National Security Council, and MAJI. It
    was apparent that the abductions included much more than the simple
    monitoring experiments of an advanced civilization.

    In late 1979, things had gotten almost entirely out of hand
    when it became known that the Greys had implanted a tiny probe,
    3mm. in size, into the brains of certain abductees before releasing
    them. MAJI investigators determined the probe could be used to
    hypnotically and telepathically program and monitor the person. In
    addition, some abductees were programmed with unknown post-hypnotic
    commands. The Greys also implanted tracking devices just under the
    skin, on some abductees to monitor their movements. Attempts, by
    hypnosis, to determine the nature of the hypnotic programming and
    commands implanted by the Greys, triggered life-threatening
    physical symptoms in these individuals making these efforts
    unsuccessful. It was later discovered that the Greys were
    performing genetic cross-breeding experiments on some of the human
    female abductees. In 1983, MAJI discovered the full magnitude of
    the Grand Deception put over by the Greys. They were also shocked
    when the Soviet Union (USSR) admitted that they, too, had been
    deceived and that the Greys had entered into similar Treaties and
    agreements with them. MAJI was in a state of confusion and near
    panic as they realized their plans were dashed, along with their
    hopes and dreams of obtaining the Grey's technology and the secrets
    of interstellar spaceflight.

    This caused MAJI to become split along factional lines. One
    faction advocating confessing the scheme and the shambles it had
    become to the public, begging their forgiveness and asking for
    their support. Note: This faction is responsible for the leaks of
    sensitive information regarding the activities of Operation
    Majestic-12. The other faction rejected this saying there was no
    way they could do that, even though the situation was untenable,
    stating there was no use in alarming the public of either country
    with the horrible truth.

    This second faction won out and their plan to develop a weapon
    that could be used against the Greys was accepted by the Soviet
    Union. Under the guise of "SDI," (a joint US/Soviet effort) the
    Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars), this weapon was
    developed. SDI, has nothing whatever to do with a defense against
    Soviet nuclear missiles. The nick-name "Star Wars" was closer to
    the truth than the uninformed public realized.

    The "alarm," publicly expressed by the Soviet Union regarding
    SDI, and its opposition to the program, were all artfully crafted
    to conceal the joint nature of the program and to prevent the Greys
    learning its real purpose. The United States and the Soviet Union
    have been secret allies since 1983.

    Primarily, SDI is a weapon for use against the Greys'
    underground bases or any attempted invasion from space. However, to
    achieve funding from Congress and support from the people, and to
    conceal its real nature from the Greys, it had to be presented as
    a defense against a nuclear strike from the USSR.

    The Soviet equivalent of MAJI used the same technique, the
    development of a weapon to protect their country from a U.S.
    nuclear strike, to obtain covert funding for the joint effort.

    The threat from the Greys is taken so seriously by MAJI, that
    President Reagan adamantly refused any concessions on SDI. He
    continued to vigorously pursue its development, and deployment, in
    spite of uninformed scientific and congressional opposition. These
    opponents never knew its real and intended purpose.

    To accomplish the true objectives of the SDI program, MAJI
    created another ultra-secret project -- Project Zeus. Project Zeus
    is revealed here for the first time.

    Project Zeus, created under the umbrella of MAJI, is charged
    with the real purpose, direction, management, development and
    eventual deployment of the SDI Weapons System. It was aptly named
    for the mythical Greek God -- Zeus. Only this time, it would be an
    angry Zeus hurling laser and particle beam lightning bolts into the
    heavens -- against an alien attack or, deflected by mirrors,
    against secret alien bases on the Earth.

    In 1984, President Reagan in a public address established the
    tone and seriousness of this endeavor when he deliberately, or
    inadvertently, let slip the remarks that the world may one day
    unite to fight a threat from outer space. This was followed by a
    series of subsequent remarks during the latter days of his term of
    office. (See Exhibit 7).

    The basic information revealing the existence of Operation
    Majestic-12, the crashed UFOs, alien beings, and their secret bases
    within the United States, was obtained through the Freedom of
    Information Act from the files of the CIA, NSA, FBI, State
    Department, the U.S. Air Force. Other intelligence data obtained by
    The Phoenix Project has contributed to this report.

    These documents reveal the "Above Top Secret" nature of
    Operation Majestic-12. They also verify that the scientific
    discovery of all time has been hidden from the people of Earth, and
    that both communications and relationships with extraterrestrial
    alien beings have already been achieved. And, that the radical new
    technology the Greys possess could alter human civilization
    overnight.

    Some of these documents obtained by various civilian
    researchers, verify the fact that we are not alone in the universe.
    The additional information contained in this report, i.e., notes
    and comments, and some of the conclusions (in the addenda) are
    based on intelligence information from other confidential sources.

    PROJECT ZEUS

    In 1980, Lt. General Daniel O. Graham -- Department of Defense
    Strategic Analyst, stated: "We need a bold new approach. We must
    stop competing with the Greys in areas where we can't win, and
    begin to compete where we have the advantage."

    The result: A book by General Graham entitled "The High
    Frontier," and the National Security Agency (NSA) funded "Project
    High Frontier." This project used some of the nation's best
    engineers and development scientists.

    This book and the project were the "red herring" technique to
    sell the concept and proposal to Congress, scientists, and the
    defense and aerospace industries. It, supposedly, was a bold, new,
    defense plan for the United States and Western Civilization.

    This was followed by another book "The Strategy of Technology"
    by Stefan Possony and Jerry Pournelle. It should be mentioned that
    neither of these two authors dreamed their book would be used to
    further promote the purposes of MAJI and Project Zeus. Its concept
    was to abandon the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), in
    favor of Assured Survival, in any conflict with the USSR.

    The foregoing concepts (a Western Civilization Defense Plan)
    and the covert efforts directed against the Greys (Project Zeus)
    orchestrated by MAJI, were presented to President Ronald Reagan.
    That presentation was successful. On March 23, 1983, President
    Reagan made his famous "Star Wars" speech -- and labeled it "The
    Strategic Defense Initiative." Only in later speeches, near the end
    of his term in office, did President Reagan publicly mention the
    possibility of a hostile encounter with extraterrestrials.

    The importance of this endeavor and the serious nature of the
    threat presented by the Greys and the consequences if Project Zeus
    were aborted, explain why the President would not budge from his
    SDI position, even in the most critical of nuclear arms' reduction
    negotiations with the USSR, or critics in the scientific community
    and Congress.

    It also explains why President George Bush, still the head of
    MAJI, is continuing to press forward with the SDI project.

    According to public statements by General James Abrahamson,
    SDI Project Director, "SDI" research has turned up five ways the
    weapon system could, and would work.

    "SDI," (Project Zeus, the covert operation against any
    possible space threat, threatening action or invasion attempts by
    the Greys), "is based on two technological discoveries:

    This was followed on August 30, 1984, when the Shuttle

    communications satellite for the Department of Defense (DOD).

    The SYNCOM satellites are DOD's high-priority command and
    communications links with all U.S. military forces worldwide. The
    on-going NASA Missions concerned with Project Zeus and SDI, are
    identified in the attached exhibits.

    Note: It is obvious that the Greys became suspicious of the
    intense launch activity of NASA and the number of Defense
    Department (DOD) payloads being placed in orbit -- more than would
    logically be needed to counter a nuclear strike by the USSR.

    Evidence to support this is their increasing surveillance of
    the Space Shuttle missions and the reported intercept, boarding,
    and inspection of the Shuttle Discovery's cargo on 3/13/89. (See
    Exhibit 9). They must suspect the real purpose of the SDI program.
    If future SDI or DOD missions are interfered with it will confirm
    this premise.

    The organizational structure of MAJI, is as follows:

    GRUDGE/PROJECT AQUARIUS: An umbrella group consisting of
    MAJI, the CIA and the NSA in which all the various compartments
    dealing with ET-related issues perform their various functions.
    Under Project Aquarius four groups, each consisting of several
    hundred persons, conducts secret UFO investigations and research in
    four assigned areas of the United States. (See Exhibit 6)

    Separate projects under the umbrella of Project Aquarius are:

    PROJECT GRUDGE: This project was originally established in
    1953, by order of President Eisenhower and is under the control of
    the CIA, NSA, and MAJI. Project Grudge went underground and another
    project, Project Sign, was established as a cover operation.

    In 1960, the Project's name was changed from Project SIGN to
    Project Bluebook. Project Aquarius, became the overall umbrella
    operation controlling all these projects. Project Aquarius was
    funded by CIA confidential funds (non-appropriated). The Project
    assumed full responsibility for investigation and intelligence of
    UFOs/IACs in December 1969 after Project Grudge/Blue Book was
    closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius was to collect all
    scientific, technological, medical and intelligence information
    from UFO/IAC sightings and contacts with alien lifeforms. This
    orderly file of collected information has been used to advance the
    United States' Space Program and provided the data needed to
    develop present stealth technology.

    AQUARIUS; PROJECT PLATO: Originally established as part of
    Project SIGN in 1954 to establish diplomatic relations with the
    Aliens. This Project was successful when mutually acceptable terms
    were agreed upon. These terms involved the exchange of technology
    for secrecy of the Alien presence and non-interference in Alien
    affairs. This Project is controlled by a secret task force
    headquartered at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico
    and is ongoing.

    AQUARIUS; PROJECT SIGMA: Conducts electronic communications
    with extraterrestrials, part of an on-going contact project run by
    and through the NSA since as early as late 1963 which led to the
    Holloman AFB incident of April 25, 1964. (See Exhibit 4).

    AQUARIUS; PROJECT GARNET: Closed down, supposedly, on
    completion of its studies. Project Garnet's purpose was to
    investigate extraterrestrial influence on human affairs and
    evolution.

    GRUDGE - AQUARIUS; PROJECT REDLIGHT: Originally established
    in 1954, the mission of Project Redlight was to test fly recovered
    alien craft. This project, carried out at Area 51 (Groom Lake) and
    Area S4 in Nevada was postponed after every attempt resulted in
    destruction of the craft and the death of the pilots. Project
    Redlight was resumed in 1972 and has since been partially
    successful. UFO sightings of craft accompanied by black helicopters
    are Project Redlight's assets. This project is ongoing at Area 51
    in Nevada.

    REDLIGHT; PROJECT SNOWBIRD: Originally established in 1954.
    Its mission was to develop [using conventional technology] and fly
    a flying saucer type craft for the public. This project was
    successful when a craft was built and flown in front of the press.
    This project was used to explain UFO sightings and to divert public
    attention from Project Redlight.

    9/29/88 -- Project Zeus -- SDI --Shuttle Discovery, Mission
    STS-26.
    NASA Pub # MR-026, NASA Facts, KSC Release No. 27-89

    Payload: A 4,905 pound communications Satellite (The Tracking and
    Data Relay Satellite-TDRS) one of the largest and heaviest
    applications satellites ever sent into orbit. TDRS-C was the prime
    objective of the mission, and is expected to improve Earth-to-space
    and space-to-earth voice and data exchanges. TDRS-C will increase
    the capacity of command data flows for unmanned research and
    applications satellites orbiting at relatively low altitudes. The
    STS-26 crew are all experienced astronauts.

    Commander: Frederick H. Hauck (Capt. USN)
    Pilot: Richard Covey (Lt. Col. USAF)

    Mission Specialists:
    David C. Hilmers (Lt. Col. USAF)
    John M. Lounge (USN, Retired)
    George D. Nelson - Astronomer

    The TDRS-C satellite was lifted to its 22,302 mile orbit by an
    AF IUS rocket, after being deployed by the shuttle, for positioning
    over the equator north of the Phoenix Islands, south of Hawaii, in
    the Pacific Ocean (171 Degrees west longitude). There the satellite
    can work in tandem with an identical TDRS-1 positioned in
    geosynchronous orbit in 1983 over the Atlantic Ocean near
    Fortaleza, Brazil (41 degrees west longitude). These two satellites
    can act as data relays for other satellites.

    TDRS-C will maintain nearly uninterrupted communications with
    the ground and will rapidly transmit huge volumes of data.

    So vast is the capacity of these two satellites that, at their
    highest transmission rates, they can in a single second transfer
    data equaling the contents of a 20-volume encyclopedia with 1200
    pages in each volume and 2000 words on each page.

    A third Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-D, will be
    launched at a later date and deployed over the Atlantic Ocean. It
    will replace TDRS-1, which will be relocated south of White Sands,
    New Mexico where it will serve as an in-orbit spare.

    One communications experiment inside the shuttle spacecraft
    was the testing of a new voice communications system using infrared
    waves rather than standard radio frequencies. An advantage of
    infrared is it cannot pass through the spacecraft's windows as can
    radio waves. Infrared communications would prevent a spacecraft
    from eavesdropping, thus protecting sensitive astronaut
    conversations, and enhancing security, and the crew's privacy.

    Note: This extraordinary procedure must pertain to the Greys.
    Note the word "spacecraft." Whose? Earlier NASA Missions had
    reported UFO encounters. The Greys are suspicious.

    12/2/88 -- Project Zeus -- SDI -- Shuttle Atlantis, Mission

    This flight is the first of three national security missions
    conducted in fiscal 1989 by NASA for the Defense Department. STS-27
    will have a five-member crew. All are military personnel.

    Commander: Robert L. Gibson (Cmdr. USN)
    Pilot: Guy S. Gardner (Lt.Col. USAF)

    Mission Specialists:
    Richard M. Mullane (Col. USAF)
    Jerry L. Ross (Lt.Col. USAF)
    William M. Shepard (Cmdr. USN)

    The Shuttle Atlantis has flown twice before: Mission 51-H in
    October 1985, a classified DOD mission; and 61-B in November 1985.

    Note: The payload consisted of two orbiting mirrors for SDI
    (Project Zeus) and a communications and spy satellite for DOD.


    3/13/89 -- Project Zeus -- SDI -- Shuttle Discovery, Mission
    STS-29.
    NASA Facts, KSC Release No. 8-89

    The Space Shuttle Discovery launched at 9:57 a.m. EST today
    has as its primary objective the deployment of a Tracking and Data
    Relay Satellite (TDRS-D).

    The TDRS-D, to become TDRS-4 in orbit, will be deployed on the
    first day of the mission. The satellite will join TDRS-1 and -3 in
    orbit to provide high-capacity communications and data links.

    TDRS-1, also designated TDRS-East, is now in geosynchronous
    orbit over the Atlantic Ocean just east of Brazil. TDRS-3,
    designated TDRS-West, was launched by Discovery on mission STS-26
    in September of 1988, and is positioned over the Pacific Ocean
    south of Hawaii. TDRS-4 will replace TDRS-1 over the Atlantic as
    TDRS-East. TDRS-1 will then be relocated south of White Sands, New
    Mexico where it will serve as an in-orbit spare.

    The five member crew of Discovery for STS-29 are:

    Commander: Michael L. Coats (Capt. USN)
    Pilot: John E. Blaha (Col. USAF)

    Mission Specialists:
    James F. Buchli (Col. USMC)
    Robert C. Springer (Col. USMC)
    James R. Bagian (M.D.) Civilian Doctor

    In addition to launching the TDRS Satellite, the crew of
    Discovery will conduct numerous scientific experiments and
    photograph the Earth with a hand-held IMAX camera.

    4/26/89 -- Project Zeus -- SDI -- Magellan Venus Probe,
    Shuttle Atlantis,
    Mission STS-30.
    AP Wire:

    The Atlantis commander says his crew is mighty proud to be
    part of the first space shuttle planetary mission scheduled to
    blast-off this Friday. The countdown, which started Tuesday,
    continued toward a liftoff at 2:24 p.m. Friday.

    Six hours after launch, astronauts Mark Lee and Mary Cleave
    are to release the 7,600-pound Magellan probe and a rocket to
    propel it on a 468-day journey to Venus. Magellan is to reach its
    destination in August 1990, swooping into orbit around Venus to
    begin a 243-day period during which it is to map up to 90 percent
    of the cloud-shrouded planet's surface with the probe's high
    resolution radar system.

    "We're not really in charge of the deep space probe," said
    Commander David Walker. "We're fortunate enough to be part of the
    team that gets to send it up there. The rest of the NASA team will
    make sure that it gets to Venus and does its job."

    UPDATE: NASA, KSC Release # 24-89, March 1989

    Magellan marks the first U.S. planetary mission since Pioneer
    Venus 12 in 1978. It also kicks off a core program of solar system
    exploration involving NASA and organizations from the United States
    and the international community.

    Project ZEUS: One of the payload experiments on this Shuttle
    Mission includes the Mesoscale Lighting Experiment, a NASA
    sponsored effort involving several universities. Its objective is
    to study the visual characteristics of large scale lighting in the
    upper atmosphere.

    Note: Part of the Project Zeus effort to study laser beam
    diffusion in the upper atmosphere.

    In addition, as another experiment, the Shuttle Atlantis will
    act as a calibration point for a third experiment involving the Air
    Force Maui Optical System Facility in Hawaii.

    Note: Project Zeus - SDI Experiment.

    Although unstated in this NASA Release, Atlantis is acting as
    an orbital target being tracked by the Air Force facility (SDI
    ground based laser facility) named in the above paragraph.

    1989 -- 8/8/89 -- Project Zeus - SDI -- Shuttle Columbia --
    Mission ??
    AP Wire & Mercury News Service 7/27/89

    The Space Shuttle Columbia lifts off with five military
    astronauts and a classified Pentagon spy satellite. Columbia will
    be making the 30th shuttle flight and the fourth this year, solely
    dedicated to the Defense Department. For national security
    purposes, the Pentagon would not permit NASA to announce the exact
    liftoff time or the length of the mission.

    Note: The payload is the last of 4 orbiting laser mirrors for
    SDI. With this mission completed, SDI becomes partly operational.
    It is estimated that SDI will become fully operational within the
    next 12 months, barring unforeseen events.

    Note: The following NASA launch information was derived from
    the American Academic Encyclopedia. The Project Zeus (SDI)
    comments, are those of the Phoenix Project.

    The 30th mission, flown by Brewster H. Shaw, Jr., and a crew of
    four, orbited another military satellite.

    1989 -- 11/22/89 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Discovery

    The 32d mission, flown on Discovery by Frederick M. Gregory and a
    crew of four, launched a spy satellite.

    1990 -- 1/9/90 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Columbia

    On Jan. 9, 1990, Daniel Brandenstein and a crew of four flew
    Columbia to launch Syncom IV and to retrieve the Long Duration
    Exposure Facility, a research satellite left in space for six
    years.

    1990 -- 2/28/90 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Atlantis

    Another spy satellite mission followed on Feb. 28-Mar. 4, 1990,
    when John O. Creighton and a crew of four flew Atlantis.

    1990 -- 4/24/90 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Discovery

    The long-awaited Hubble SPACE TELESCOPE was finally placed in a
    high orbit by Discovery's crew of four, commanded by Loren J.
    Shriver, during the Apr. 24-29, 1990 flight, but Columbia,
    scheduled for launch the following month, was grounded by a series
    of hydrogen leaks, as was Atlantis.

    1990 -- 11/15/90 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Atlantis

    The 37th flight of the space shuttle program took place on
    Atlantis, from Nov. 15-20, 1990, carrying a secret military payload
    into orbit. Unconfirmed reports suggested that Atlantis carried a
    spy satellite intended to monitor activities in Iraq and the
    Persian Gulf region. Mission commander was Air Force Col. Richard
    O. Covey, and he was assisted by a crew of four.

    1991 -- 4/28/91 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Discovery

    Space shuttle Discovery was launched on Apr. 28, 1991, and returned
    to Earth on May 6. Its military mission was concerned with
    collecting data for the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars")
    antimissile program. Mission commander was U.S. Navy Capt. Michael
    L. Coats. He was assisted by a pilot and crew of four.

    1991 -- 8/2/91 -- Project Zeus - SDI - Shuttle Atlantis

    Flight number 42 for the Space Shuttle program--and the ninth for
    the Atlantis--was launched on Aug. 2, 1991, and returned safely to
    Earth on August 11. The crew, under the command of Air Force Col.
    John E. Blaha, consisted of three men and one woman. The mission
    successfully deployed the Department of Defense's large Tracking
    and Data Relay Satellite, sending it into an orbit about 22,000
    miles (35,400 km) above the equator. The mission also conducted
    experiments on the ozone layer, made medical experiments, and
    tested computer and mechanical equipment.
