    _Update/Situation Report for 1988_@
    by William S. English


    @_DEDICATION_@

    I would like very much to dedicate this to the late Jim
    and
    Corral Lorenzen, founders and pioneers in the field of UFO
    Studies
    and Aerial Phenomena, and to all the men and women who,
    over the
    years have risked so much to gather the evidence and reports
    that
    have made this field both controversial and necessary.

    @_INTRODUCTION_@

    During the past three to four decades there have
    been a
    continual stream of reported sightings of Unidentified
    Flying
    Objects, alleged abductions of human-beings by aliens,
    contact of
    human-beings by aliens, animal and human mutilations by
    alien-
    beings, alien bases, and rumors of alien invasion.
    In addition to the questions that these things alone bring
    up,
    there are also the added questions of religious and moral
    ethics.
    Was god in fact an alien-being, or was christ constructed by
    the
    aliens as a bio-genetic/social experiment? If this is in
    fact the
    case, what effect will it have upon the social structure of
    our
    world and our race as human-beings? Will we as humans
    band
    together as one ? Or will we fall to pieces and destroy
    one
    another ? Most importantly, we must ask the question :"what
    are
    we as humans prepared to do in the event that all of this
    is true
    or partially true?

    Bearing all of this in mind, we will explore the
    possibilities
    and offer up some interesting speculations into these and
    other
    questions that we will review and discuss throughout
    this
    document.

    @_Part One_@

    In 1976, while working as a Data Analyst for the
    United
    States Department of Defence Security Services Command
    at RAF
    Chicksands, England. I had the task of analyzing a copy of
    what
    was entitled Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.
    Ostensively the government published Blue Book Reports #1
    through
    12 and 14 on to the last report, but claims that it in fact
    never
    published a report numbered 13. One of the many excuses
    given by
    the Air Force was that there was never a number 13
    because of
    superstitions about the number. One of the many arguments
    against
    this excuse is that the government had never before cared one
    wit
    for superstition, and why should they all of a sudden do so
    now???
    Several years went by with this being the pat excuse until
    June
    of 1977, when the report came across my disk at Security
    Services
    with a disposition order to read and analyze.
    The report was an annotated version, with
    photographs and
    various scientific data reports on findings of research that
    was
    contained within the publication. Among the photographs
    were
    several of Aliens that were being autopsied and some that
    appeared
    to be alive. Much of the data it contained dealt with the
    autopsy
    findings and a great deal of technological data. Much of
    the
    technological data dealt with the research performed
    on the
    recovered vehicles or space craft and there was some
    mention of
    animal and human mutilation, with the report of
    several
    incidence.

    This in itself wouldn't mean a great deal, were it not
    for the
    fact that during the past twelve years there have been
    several
    attempts on my life. These attempts, I believe, have
    been in
    order to keep me quiet about what I saw. Shortly after my
    viewing
    of the documents I was, without warning, released under
    duress
    from my job and deported from the country without even being
    able
    to say good-bye to my wife and children, who remained in
    England,
    and who are still there to this day.


    @_MY BEGINNING ASSOCIATION WITH APRO_@


    For the record, and also to clear up certain rumors that
    have
    been flying around for the past several years the
    following
    details certain circumstances that took place from 1977 to
    1981.
    I add this since I am the focal point for several of the
    nasty
    rumors that have been flying concerning my validity
    and the
    validity of my reported viewing of Grudge/Blue Book Report
    #13.

    Very shortly after my forced return to the United States
    and my
    subsequent return to Tucson Arizona. I had the occasion to
    be
    present at Pima Community College for a lecture that was
    being
    given by Stanton Friedman, on the subject of UFOs.
    Because of my
    personal experiences it is understandable that I would
    be
    extremely interested in the lecture, thus my presence.



    During the course of Stanton's lecture I found that there
    were
    certain things he said that I wasn't to terribly impressed
    with.
    Not, mind you, because he was a bad speaker, on the
    contrary, he
    was an excellent speaker. But more because the information
    that he
    was imparting was inaccurate, based on what I at the time
    knew to
    be true. One point did come up during the course of
    his speech
    that struck home. His comment that Blue Book Report #13
    did not
    exist. I knew this to be a fallacy as I had read the
    report
    several months previously, and at the end of his
    lecture I
    approached him and told him so. During the next several
    hours,
    Stanton Friedman, Jim Lorenzen, and Allen Benz
    grilled me
    extensively at the APRO offices while recording the
    entire
    session. Allen Benz, now the president of the Foundation
    for UFO
    Research in Tucson will verify this fact.
    During the interview I imparted everything that I
    could
    possibly remember concerning the incident and then left,
    not to
    return for several months.
    I remember this period of my life extremely well as
    I was
    approaching my first christmas without my family and shortly
    after
    that my twenty-fifth birthday. Which for some reason was
    extremely
    traumatic for me. In short, it was one of the worst years
    of my
    life. I had been forcefully separated from my family, and
    had
    very little communication with them. I was reaching an age
    when
    most men had a home, family, and all of the mundane problems
    that
    go along with it, and I wanted very much to have a piece
    of the
    same thing. I was extremely confused because I didn't
    know or
    understand why all of this had happened to me. I came very
    close
    to committing suicide that year, so my recollection of it is
    very
    clear.
    It wasn't until several months later that I began to
    realize
    just exactly what was happening, and as a result I began to
    seek
    out answers. Occasionally I would stop by the APRO offices
    and
    talk with Christine Panter, the secretary that worked there,
    and
    go digging through the files trying to learn everything
    that I
    could on the subject of UFOs.
    While contending with my own problems of trying to find
    the
    answers as to why I had lost my family, and slowly
    discovering
    that the government was in fact responsible for everything,
    I was
    inadvertently fighting for my own life. On several
    occasions,
    without realizing the true cause of it, I began to
    experience a
    series of potentially fatal accidents and the loss of
    several
    extremely good jobs. On one occasion my apartment caught
    fire,
    destroying everything that I had, and killing a pet
    hamster. At
    the time the fire started, I would have normally been asleep
    as it
    was my usual habit to stay up until the early hours of the
    morning
    working on various projects for a small leather business I
    was in
    the process of starting. That day however, I was spending
    the
    night with a friend, taking care of work that he had offered
    me at
    his home. A lucky circumstance? I suppose it would have
    been
    except the Tucson Fire Department determined that it was
    arson.
    On one other occasion I was driving to Sierra Vista,
    Arizona,
    on the back of my motorcycle, to visit with my father
    at his
    office. While driving down Interstate 10, a big black
    limo (a
    continental I believe) began pacing me at the edge of town,
    and
    followed me almost the whole distance until there was no
    traffic
    for several miles in either direction, where upon it began
    trying
    to force me off of the road by pulling up beside me and in
    front
    of me. In this case I was extremely lucky and was able
    to ride
    into the desert where the car was unable to follow. On the
    return
    trip, my father followed me closely in his car to make sure
    that
    it didn't happen again. Over the years that have been
    over 15
    attempts on my life, the most recent being in December of
    1988.

    @_THE TROUBLE WITH APRO/BILL ENGLISH THE GOVERNMENT AGENT_@

    It was over a period of four years that this continued off
    and
    on. During all of this, Allen Benz and myself became
    friends and
    on occasion I would do some work for APRO and at the
    same time
    help myself financially when the opportunity arose. One
    such
    occasion resulted in my having to travel to Los Angeles to
    act as
    consultant and representative of APRO for Barry &
    Enwright
    Productions. Barry & Enwright were in the process of
    Producing a
    pilot program for television entitled "Strange as it Seems."
    This
    was to be their answer to the then popular program,
    "That's
    Incredible." Unknown to me at the time, they had also
    contacted
    Dr. J. Allen Hynek of the Center For UFO studies, and who's
    name
    figured so prominently in the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13,
    as it
    was he who had also read the report and stated that
    although he
    had not seen the evidence first hand, felt that everything
    in the
    report was true.
    Dr. Hynek and I sat in the green room for the better part
    of an
    hour while waiting for our appearance on the stage, and I
    asked
    him about the report and why it was that he and the
    government
    denied it's existence. At first he tried to tell me that I
    didn't
    know what I was talking about, and told me not to bother
    him. It
    wasn't until I became angry and told him that I had seen
    report
    #13 and analyzed it for the government while working for Air
    Force
    Security Services in England, and that his signed initials
    and
    signature was all over the damned thing, so not to even
    try
    denying it to me. that he finally admitted to it's
    existence.
    But, he also said that he would never admit to it publicly,
    and
    would call me a liar should I try to get him involved in
    anything.
    I asked him the standard question ;"why me? Why was I the
    one to
    have to analyze it and lose everything? His
    answer...."Somebody
    had to do it"
    Very shortly after this, Allen Benz and myself
    became
    embroiled in an internal conflict with APRO which
    resulted in
    several law suits. Contrary to the belief that Coral
    Lorenzen
    would have had people believe at the time, we were not
    government
    agents, and we were not trying to take control of APRO.
    During the course of his duties as APRO Librarian,
    Allen
    discovered that the organization was in serious danger of
    losing
    it's non-profit status and that the then listed board of
    directors
    were in danger of losing considerably more than that if APRO
    were
    ever sued. When Allen approached Jim and Coral Lorenzen with
    this
    problem he was completely ignored. After it became
    apparent to
    him what the situation was he came to me.


    After carefully reviewing the documents and the records of
    APRO,
    we discovered that the organization was in fact in
    violation of
    the non-profit status as there had not been an election of
    new
    board members for over a period of five years, and that the
    annual
    report that was required by the Arizona State
    Corporation
    Commission had not been filed for an even longer time.
    This
    clearly was a violation and APRO technically had lost it's
    non-
    profit status. At that point, if APRO were ever sued by
    anyone,
    anyone at all, the members of the listed Board, under which
    APRO
    continued to operate would have been held personally liable
    and
    any and all of their personal assets could have been
    forfeit
    should a suit gone against them.
    It was because of this, and the fact that the
    Lorenzen's
    refused to take any action on the matter, that Allen and I
    decided
    to push the issue and force a vote of a new board of
    directors.
    With this in mind, Allen and I began to send out proxy
    forms to
    the general membership to force a board election. It was
    never
    our intention to take control of APRO, but rather try and
    force
    the organization and the Lorenzen's to meet the regulations
    as set
    down by the ASCC so that there could not be any
    repercussions on
    the governing body. Unfortunately we got beat at our own
    game.
    Unknown to us Jim had gone to the Post Master in Tucson
    and
    managed to convince him to route all of the Proxy forms
    back to
    him rather than to Allen and myself as they had been
    addressed.
    When it came time for the meeting Jim voted the proxies
    that he
    had in his position and we were left with egg on our faces.
    Not
    content with that, Coral then started publishing
    defamatory
    statements in the APRO News letter concerning Allen and
    myself,
    saying that I was an agent of the government who's only
    purpose
    was to destroy APRO, and claiming that Allen was duped by
    me,
    which in turn forced us to seek legal counsel and bring
    suit
    against them for slander. I was unable to continue with the
    suit
    as other problems arose at that time that forced me to leave
    Allen
    pretty much taking care of the whole thing and shouldering
    the
    financial burden as well. In the interim, Allen's
    lawyer
    apparently got them to retract their statements under the
    threat
    of suit, but at the same time Coral then got one of her
    cronies in
    California to file suit against Allen and I in a California
    court.
    All of this was unknown to me at the time as I was then on
    the
    run. Additional details of what took place after that are
    with
    Allen Benz.

    @_I GO ON THE LAM_@

    While all of this was going on there were other matters
    taking
    place that I had to deal with. Most notably that of
    Col.Robert
    Black, and his former Operations Sgt. from RAF
    Chicksands.
    Apparently, shortly after my forced departure, they to were
    forced
    to leave under pretty much the same circumstances. Some
    how or
    other they were able to locate me and we, after much
    suspicious
    repartee, agreed to take a serious look at the situations
    that had
    arisen. Black had gotten information that some where along
    the
    edge of the White Sands Missile Test Range there was an alien
    craft
    that had been buried because it was simply to big to
    transport.
    We didn't know at the time whether or not it was true,
    but being
    the fools that we were, we decided to check it out. I
    sold my
    business and the others put up their share of the
    money to
    purchase a van and have it specially equipped with such
    things as
    ground radar (marine radar system for private
    boats),
    magnetometers, gravitometers, sound detectors, and
    infrared
    sensoring devices. We also carried in the van metal
    detectors,
    water, food and camping equipment.
    After linking up with them in Belen New Mexico, we
    traveled in
    the van around the entire perimeter of the Test range, going
    up to
    the Trinity Atomic Test Site and working our way
    down to
    Alamogordo, New Mexico, where we then entered through the
    White
    Sands National Monument late in the evening. We proceeded
    to the
    northern most boundary of the monument where we then
    entered the
    test range. We had been on the range approximately an hour
    and a
    half at the time. I was outside of the van, about 500 to
    1,000
    meters in front, with a metal detector checking to see
    if I
    couldn't find any kind of metallic object that would give
    any
    indication as to the possible finding of the alien craft.
    We did
    this as some of the information Black had, indicated that
    the
    craft had crashed somewhat closer to Holloman Air Force Base
    than
    any other place.
    As I was walking in front of the van, Black and the
    Sergeant
    were riding in it, following me with the headlights on so
    that I
    wouldn't step on anything without seeing it first. It was
    here
    that I heard a familiar sound that instinctively made me
    scream
    incoming and hit the dirt face first without even thinking.
    It
    was an incoming rocket that hit the van, blowing it up and
    killing
    the two of them. There can be no mistake that they were
    killed as
    there was absolutely nothing left of the van except debris.
    At
    this point, after assessing the situation quickly, I took off
    in a
    westerly direction, not wanting to be next on the hit parade.
    For
    the next several days I avoided helicopters and what
    appeared to
    be search parties, traveling only at night until I made it
    off the
    range and onto a highway, where I hitched hiked back to
    Tucson,
    and ultimately to the home of Wendelle Stevens.
    When I arrived at Wendelle's I told him everything that
    had
    taken place and then got him to drive me to a girl friend's
    house
    where he dropped me off a couple of blocks away. It was then
    that
    I determined that they, whoever they were, knew who I was
    and
    where I was at. It was time to disappear.
    To accomplish this, I began by breaking off my
    relationship
    with my girl friend at the time, and moving to a small
    trailer on
    the west side of town, where I then packed all of my
    belongings or
    sold them off. I then, after a period of several days took
    a bus
    to Phoenix, where I arranged to have myself arrested
    by the
    phoenix police on some outstanding traffic tickets, and put
    in the
    Phoenix municipal jail. I then paid the fines and
    returned to
    Tucson, by private car. I was establishing a trail at this
    point
    in order to throw off anyone that might be following or
    trying to
    trace me. Within twelve hours of arriving back in Tucson, I
    took
    a back-pack with clothing and limited food supplies and
    struck out
    across the desert toward San Diego. Traveling at night
    and
    sleeping during the heat of the day. When I arrived in San
    Diego
    I then made my way up the coastal highway toward Los
    Angeles,
    stopping at the camping sites along the way that are
    available by
    the California Parks and Recreation Department.
    When I arrived in Los Angeles I then spent the night
    in a
    shelter for street people and then the next day looked
    for a
    better situation in which to live for a while. I found it
    in the
    form of an establishment called Hudson House. Which I must
    say
    was an inspired stroke of genius on my part as it was most
    likely
    the one place that no one would think to look for me.
    Hudson
    House was and I suppose still is a halfway house for gays
    trying
    to make it away from their families. And I must say,
    much to
    their credit, for those who are not gay but are in need of
    help.
    As I'm not gay and had made no bones about the fact that
    I was
    extremely heterosexual, I felt that this was the one place
    no one
    would think to look for me. I was right. After finding a
    job at
    one of the many local restaurants in the Hollywood area, I
    lived
    there for a three month period, where upon I then
    contacted my
    mother who by this time had retired to a farm
    outside of
    Lynchburg, Virginia, and then moved on to Virginia, where I
    spend
    a year working on the farm for her and then moving into town
    where
    I began working over a seven year period at various radio
    and
    television stations as an announcer and cameraman.

    From this point on, until my re-emergence into the public
    eye
    in Sept of 1988, there is not a great deal to tell other
    than on
    two occasions I was once again made aware of how
    precarious my
    position was when someone unloaded several thousand
    rounds of
    machine gun fire into the home I was living at in a small
    town in
    Virginia, and when some one tried to run over me on the
    streets of
    Lynchburg. Twice!

    @_I COME OUT OF HIDING_@

    In July of 1988, I received a rather nasty note from my
    father
    saying that a John Lear had contacted his office about me.
    He
    said in the note that he had not told him anything about me
    nor
    where I was at and left it up to me to decide whether or
    not I
    wanted to contact Mr. Lear. I did nothing for about a month
    and a
    half. And at that point I had no intention of doing
    anything at
    all. Then one night, while working at the radio station I
    was
    employed at, a news clipping from the ABC pre-feed wire
    service
    came to my attention. It was a statement by Walt Andrus
    that
    there were in fact Aliens from space on the planet earth.
    This
    surprised me greatly as I felt that it was extremely
    out of
    character for some one of Walt's renown and status within
    the UFO
    investigative community. After giving it much thought I
    decided
    to place one call to Wendelle Stevens, who I had not
    spoken to
    since my disappearance.
    Wendelle, needless to say, was extremely surprised to hear
    from
    me as he assumed that I was dead. I asked Wendelle to
    keep my
    where abouts private for the moment, and he offered to send
    me a
    copy of Bill Steinman's book "UFO Crash at Aztec", where, he
    said,
    I played a fairly large part in one of the appendixes.
    Several days later I received the book from Wendelle and
    sat
    down to read what was said. At that point I wasn't quite
    sure
    what to think, but decided that perhaps it would be a good
    idea to
    come back out in the open in order to test the waters.

    I then contacted John Lear, posing as an Attorney
    representing
    "Mr. English's interest", in order to find out what it
    was John
    wanted with me. After talking with John for a few minutes I
    hung
    up and began to consider the possibilities and what to do
    about
    it. After several more weeks I then contacted John
    and he
    ultimately came to see me in Virginia, where we
    Discussed
    Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.

    @_The UFO Legend_@

    "In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the
    fifth day
    of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river
    Che'bar, the
    heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
    "As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the
    north, and
    a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire
    flashing
    forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it
    were
    gleaming bronze. And from the midst of it came the
    likeness of
    four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they
    had the
    form of men, but each had four faces, and each of them had
    four
    wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet
    were
    like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled liked
    burnished
    bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had
    human
    hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:
    their
    wings touched one another; they went everyone forward,
    without
    turning as they went. As for the likeness of their faces,
    each had
    the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion
    on the
    right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side,
    and
    the four had the face of an eagle at the back. Such were
    their
    faces. And their wings were spread out above; each creature
    had
    two wings, each of which touched the wing of another,
    while two
    covered their bodies. And each went straight forward; where
    ever
    the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they
    went. In
    the midst of the living creatures there was something that
    looked
    like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro
    among
    the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the
    fire
    went forth lightning. And the living creatures darted to and
    fro,
    like a flash of lightning

    Now, as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel
    upon
    the earth beside the living creatures, one for the each of
    the
    four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and
    their
    construction: their appearance was like the gleaming
    of a
    chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their
    construction
    being as it were a wheel within a wheel. When they went, they
    went
    in any of their four directions without turning as they went.
    The
    four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were
    full
    of eyes round about...(Ezek 1:1-18)
    And Ezekiel saw the wheel...and this is the wheel
    that he
    saw....It seems interesting that Ezekiel's description of
    his
    vision of god and the angels fit almost exactly with
    the
    descriptions that many modern day individuals give when
    describing
    UFO sightings. There are differences of course in
    language,
    however this description seems to be fairly easy to
    interpret.
    At the risk of alienating those of you who are
    fervent
    christians, what Ezekiel described was a UFO.
    If one were to look closely at the legends of the
    various
    civilizations they would see that throughout recorded
    history,
    there has been a constant flow of UFO sighting. Or at least
    let us
    speculate such for the sake of argument for right now.
    The legend of Flying Saucers or UFO's seems to
    have been
    perpetuated down through the ages in one form or another,
    but
    always leaving open many questions that seem to have no
    answers.

    One such perpetrator was author "Eric Von Daniken", who
    wrote
    his series of books based on speculations concerning ancient
    South
    American artifacts and ruins. Von Daniken wrote that
    based on
    these artifacts and ancient writings that seemed to be
    without
    translation, that there was the possibility that
    ancient
    astronauts in fact visited the earth before recorded history
    and
    that it was these astronauts that were in fact worshipped as
    gods
    by the ancient humans.
    This is of course a very basic summation of what Von
    Daniken
    was trying to postulate in his work, and it would have
    been a
    theory that could have opened new areas of research were it
    not
    for the fact that Von Daniken himself stated later that his
    work
    was not factual and was not researched as he would have
    had
    everyone believe that it was.

    It was unfortunate that this was in fact the case, as
    Von
    Daniken's work did in fact cause several people to
    speculate on
    the possibilities that we had in fact been visited in the
    past by
    alien races.


    But! At the same time, let me ask the question...Why not??
    Why
    is it so difficult for us to accept the possibilities
    of this
    having in fact happened?

    @_EXAMPLE_@

    Let us take for granted, for the moment, that all
    legend is
    based on some sort of fact. And that although legend loses
    in the
    translation from the original language, and certain aspects
    of it
    change through the ages, for the most part the legend is
    true.

    Now let us examine one legend in particular, which is
    probably
    the most persistent through the ages...The Lost
    Civilization of
    Atlantis.

    The legend states that Atlantis was a civilization far
    advanced
    for it's time and even for our time. The legend itself is
    the
    stuff that movies have been made of, and speaks of
    wondrous
    technologies that make the technology of today look
    pale by
    comparison. As far as we have been able to determine, the
    legend
    of Atlantis had been handed down from Socrates and the
    ancient
    Greeks. But the tale of Atlantis was in fact an ancient
    legend,
    even in the time of Socrates.

    Let us examine another possibility...The Pyramids of
    Ancient
    Egypt.
    For the most part, the construction of the ancient
    ruins of
    Egypt can be explained in fairly conventional terms, there
    are
    however certain aspects that cannot be explained. Let us
    examine
    Cheops Pyramid.

    Records indicate that in construction time, most pyramids
    were
    started at the time the Pharaoh came to the throne of the
    Egyptian
    Empire, which at the time was considerable for the ancient
    world.
    Egypt being a moving force in the ancient world, and
    remaining at
    the pinnacle until the rise of the Roman Empire. Most
    Pharaohs
    personally supervised the construction of their final
    resting
    place, believing that the quality their life in the next
    world
    would depend on how sumptuous their funerary arrangements
    were.
    Of Course being the ruler of an Empire made it possible
    for them
    to spare no expense, and in many cases the expense
    exceeded the
    entire amount of money that it would take to run their
    Kingdom for
    ten years or more. It was not uncommon for millions of
    dollars and
    thousands of lives to be spent during the construction of
    royal
    tombs.
    Bearing this in mind, records indicate that Cheops
    Pyramid or
    the great pyramid as it is now referred to, was begun well
    into the
    rule of the Pharaoh Cheops and was completed well before
    his
    death. Yet it is one of the largest and most perfect of
    ancient
    structures. Another point to consider among others is that
    the
    sand-stone used in it's construction was several hundred
    miles
    away from the pyramid site and was transported down the Nile
    River
    one block at a time. Also the fitting of each block of
    the
    construction was so perfect that even today it is
    impossible to
    even fit a piece of paper between each block. And finally,
    the
    fact that during the construction of the great pyramid it
    remained
    in a perfect square at it's base with less than
    1/2 inch
    deviation. Something that's very difficult, even by using
    today's
    construction methods.

    Add all of this to the fact that the ancient Egyptian
    Book of
    the Dead gave very specific instructions as to the
    preservation of
    the body with the view toward eventual resuscitation of the
    living
    body and the reunion of the spirit with the body. Most
    ancient
    religions talk of life after death in some form or another,
    but
    none speak of life returning to the body and none other has
    taken
    such pains in preservation of the physical remains,
    using
    techniques that even today have not been duplicated in even
    the
    best of laboratories.

    @_Remembering all of this, let us ask the following
    questions:_@

    1.) Why has ancient legend persistently told stories of
    wondrous
    technological advances that we have yet to discover, and
    speak of
    them as though they were and accomplished fact of life for
    that
    time.?

    2.) Why do many legends of the past seem to have the same
    ring of
    familiarity in that they all seem to contain the same
    elements and
    those elements all have a ring of truth. (whether its
    because of
    repetition or some other reason)

    @_Answers??_@

    At this point there are no answers to the questions, and
    for
    the most part we as researchers and investigators aren't even
    sure
    of what questions to ask.


    @_MODERN LEGENDS_@

    During the past twelve years, (since 1977), there have
    been a
    number of modern legends that we can trace back to their
    source.
    We are fortunate that we can trace them back to their origins
    as it
    then makes it possible to investigate them thoroughly. And
    I must
    admit that I am the perpetrator of at least one of those
    legends.
    Which I will go into further in a few moments.

    One of the most prevalent of these legends beside
    the
    Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 is the Dulce Report of Paul
    Bennewitz.

    Bennewitz originally reported that he had been able to
    identify
    a secret alien base through the investigation of an abduction
    case
    that involved a woman and her son. During the course of
    his
    investigation he apparently was contacted by aliens and
    given all
    kinds of information. This in itself cannot be placed among
    the
    classification of cold hard evidence, but one interesting
    point is
    that during the course of his investigation of the woman and
    her
    son certain evidence came to light that more or less set the
    UFO
    investigative world on its ear.
    The subject was hypnotically regressed by Dr. Leo
    Sprinkle of
    Illinois University. During the course of the regression
    the
    subject recounted how her and her son were traveling home
    on a
    lonely highway in the Southwest when they came across what
    she
    described as a cattle mutilation. Specifically they
    witnessed a
    calf being mutilated. As they observed what was taking
    place,
    they were seen and ultimately taken captive themselves.
    The subject related how she and her son were taken in
    separate
    vehicles to what she assumed was an underground installation.

    While in the installation, the subject related how she
    was
    subjected to a physical examination and questioning by the
    aliens.
    who she described as being small, about four feet in height,
    and
    she was questioned extensively. During the course of all of
    this
    she apparently broke away from her captors and ran aimlessly
    down
    several corridors until she came to a room that had
    a rather
    pungent odor. She described it's contents to Dr. Sprinkle,
    and
    told him of seeing a vat in the middle of the room. It was
    from
    this that the odor was coming from. She described how when
    she
    came closer to the vat she saw what appeared to be the body
    parts
    of a human male floating in an amber liquid. She went
    on to
    describe how she was found and the consternation her
    presence in
    the room caused the aliens. Apparently, shortly there
    after, she
    and her son were returned to her car without any conscious
    memory
    of their experience.
    It was this, coupled with his supposed contacts with the
    aliens
    that caused Bennewitz to initially send a report to the
    Aerial
    Phenomena Research Organization detailing his
    experiences and
    contacts with the Aliens. During the course of all of this
    it was
    initially thought that Bennewitz was himself, not all
    together
    there. In point of fact shortly there after,
    Bennewitz was
    involuntarily committed to the New Mexico State Hospital for
    the
    mentally ill, where he was forced to undergo treatment
    for an
    undetermined mental disorder. He was in fact
    involuntarily
    committed a total of three times, where finally on the third
    time
    it is reported that he underwent electro-shock therapy.
    When Bennewitz was finally discharged from the
    hospital he
    became a recluse from the UFO investigative field,
    publicly
    stating that he would no longer have anything to do with
    UFO's and
    that he suggested that all of those involved in this
    field of
    research should also get out and let the government do the
    work
    that they are more knowledgeable in. In short, he was saying
    that
    the government knew what they were doing and we should stay
    out of
    it.


    If this were all there was to it then there would be no
    further
    investigation into the reports that Bennewitz filed.
    However, as
    time passed, more and more evidence came to light that
    proved
    Bennewitz was not insane and that there was some
    substance to
    everything that he had been saying all along.
    Another modern day legend is that of myself and my Viewing
    of
    Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, of which your already aware.

    @_A New Ally_@

    Once again, time has proven to be an ally in that
    evidence has
    come to light over the past several years, that has
    substantiated
    everything that I initially said about my viewing of Report
    #13.
    In addition, one other person, William M. Cooper, formerly
    of the
    United States Naval Intelligence section, CINCPAC, has
    come
    forward and admitted viewing an earlier version of the
    Grudge/Blue
    Book Report #13.
    With the exception of some minor differences that
    are
    explainable by the fact that the copy I saw was an
    annotated
    version, Mr. Cooper's and my comparison match almost
    perfectly.
    And I might add that Bill Cooper and I were talking about
    all of
    this long before we knew that either existed.
    While Cooper saw his version of the documents in the
    early
    seventies while working with the Pacific Fleet, I saw my
    version
    of the very same documents while in the employ of the
    U.S. Air
    Force Security Services Command at RAF Chicksands in
    England in
    the mid-seventies. I, however, was the first to speak
    out
    publicly when I attended a lecture given by one Stanton
    Friedman,
    a nuclear scientist, who at the time was devoted to finding
    the
    truth about UFOs and the possible implications of their
    existence.
    I might add at this point, that over the years certain others
    have
    claimed to have seen these same documents, but have in fact
    been
    nothing more than dupes of certain dis-information specialist
    that
    are under the employ of the U.S. Government.

    @_ PART TWO_@

    @_THE CURRENT UFO STATUS_@


    Currently there are several factions within the
    investigative
    community. One is the UFO and government involvement faction,
    the
    others are, UFOs and Mutilations, UFOs and Abductions,
    UFOs and
    Alien presence, and UFOs and Metaphysical phenomenon.
    Of the five, UFOs and Government involvement, and UFOs
    and
    Alien Presence are the two most heated factions at the
    moment.
    Sort of them verses the rest of the Investigative Community.

    @_AT PRESENT_@

    At present the factions concerning government involvement
    and
    alien presence are fighting it out to see who comes out on
    top.
    Government involvement while acceding the fact the government
    is
    involved in some sort of cover-up will not come to any
    kind of
    agreement with Alien Presence, saying that the Alien
    Presence
    faction is alarmist and lacks solid evidence to
    prove their
    claims. The Alien Presence faction on the other hand, claims
    that
    the Government Involvement faction is in the employ of
    the
    Government itself and therefore they are working to hide the
    fact
    that there are indeed alien bases on earth and in the
    United
    States, and that the government had at one point entered
    into a
    treaty with these aliens, allowing them to commit
    atrocities
    against the populace of the United States, to have and
    occupy
    secret bases in exchange for technological information and
    data.
    The Government faction on the other hand, once again admits
    to the
    possibility of the government covering up Alien Craft and
    that
    type of thing, refuses to believe or accept the
    possibility of
    Alien Bases. Which would seem to be cutting off their
    noses to
    spite their face. How can you have one without the other???

    The rest of the factions tend to look at their
    particular
    philosophy as the true discipline and ignore all the others.

    @_A CLOSER LOOK_@

    Let us take a closer look at one particular section of
    each
    faction and see if it is not possible to make a clear as
    mud
    situation a little muddier.

    During the past ten years, Bill Moore has publicly stated
    that
    he believes that I have been lying all along about my
    viewing of
    Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. On one occasion that I know
    of, he
    told two engineers from Aerojet Corporation that I admitted
    to him
    that I and Gerry Schultz were doing LSD when we wrote my
    report on
    Viewing Report 13. Aside from the fact that it was an out
    and lie
    and I never admitted any such thing to him, Gerry Schultz
    and I
    were certainly never together long enough to do anything
    other
    than him ask me questions while I was digging through files
    at the
    APRO offices. And for the record I categoricly deny the
    use of
    any drug other than those perscribed by my doctor. And
    since I
    have developed a phobia about medications very rarely do I
    even do
    that.
    To add insult to injury, Moore then had the brass balls
    to
    produce that piece of shit television program of his called
    "UFO
    Cover up", and have his two song birds, Falcon and Condor,
    parrot
    everything that I had been saying since 1977. If I'm a liar,
    then
    I ask the question of what does this make him??
    It seems pretty odd that Moore would say these things
    about me,
    and then in the next breath repeat everything that I have
    been
    saying for over ten years as though it were facts that he
    alone
    discovered. I don't know about you, but it's would seem
    pretty
    inconsistant with everything that he's been saying. And even
    were
    I not in the position that I am in, I'd raise an eyebrow or
    two in
    question.

    On the other side of the coin there is John Lear, Bill
    Cooper,
    Paul Bennewitz, and a host of others, including myself who
    are of
    the firm belief that there is in fact an Alien presence
    here on
    earth, and that it has been covered up for some time.
    In all fairness though, let me point out that Moore and
    company
    has come up with some interesting documents that appear to
    show
    the existence of an organization known as MJ-12. But at the
    same
    time, he claims that Bill Cooper's research and data on
    MJ-12 is
    fraudulent and fabricated, and that Cooper doesn't know
    what he's
    talking about. Inconsistancy after inconsistancy....

    @_EXAMPLE_@

    Lear, Cooper, and Bennewitz (most notably Lear and Cooper)
    have
    evidence that ties together everything they are saying with
    other
    evidence from different sources.
    In the later part of June of 1977, I reviewed and
    analysed the
    document now known as the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13. In
    this
    report I viewed several hundred photographs, reports,
    incidents,
    and comments made by certain individuals who had themselve in
    turn
    read the report. At that time I had no knowledge what so
    ever of
    Bill Cooper, and he had no knowledge of Bill English.
    Bill Cooper on the other hand, had read his
    version of
    Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 four years previously.
    Without us
    knowing one another, nor having ever been in contact until
    1988,
    the information that we both had matched almost exactly with
    a few
    certain exceptions. And those exceptions can be accounted
    for in
    that the version I read, was annotated and thusly
    contained
    additional information that Cooper's did not.
    Additionaly, even though neither of us have been able
    to
    produce the document itself, other information and records
    have
    come to light that upholds the voracity of our claim. But
    rather
    than leave it there, research investigators from around
    the
    country, who have dealt with the nuts and bolts of
    investigation,
    have come up with sighting data, and most particularly
    Close
    encounter data that strengthens our position.


    Paul Bennewitz of Albuequerque, New Mexico, can no
    longer be
    tagged as a nut case as he was originally, for the simple
    fact
    that upon investigations performed as recently as this year,
    other
    sources who were present at the time of his experiences,
    have
    verified and confirmed everything that he has said.

    With regard to Alien Bases and occupation, I offer for
    your
    consideration the following.

    In May of 1980, Dr. Leo Sprinkle, renown
    pyscotherapist, and
    professor at Illinois State University, hypnotically
    regressed one
    Myrna Hanson, a bank teller of Eagle Nest, New Mexico.
    Hanson and her son were driving home one night
    along the
    highway between Roswell(?) and Eagles Nest, New Mexico,
    when she
    and her son, who was riding with her came upon what she
    later
    discribed to Sprinkle during their regression session, as
    the
    brightest light that she had ever seen. Apparently she
    stopped
    the car and heard what sounded like a cow screaming in
    agony.
    Hanson then discribed how she got out of the car and saw
    what
    appeared to be several little men surrounding the cow and
    using
    instruments of some type to mutilate it. Sprinkle's
    original
    notes of the session go on to discribe how she reacted and
    what
    she discribed seeing. In her discription she detailed how
    she and
    her son were taken aboard separate craft and then taken to
    some
    sort of base. During the course of the examination and
    insertion
    of some sort of metallic object she managed at one point to
    break
    away from her captors and ran down several halls until she
    came to
    a room. In the room she discribed seeing what appeared to be
    some
    sort of a vat filled with an amber liquid. As she came to
    the vat
    she saw what she discribed as the body parts of a human
    male
    floating in the liquid. When her captors finally found her
    they
    were extremely upset and took her back to the examination
    room
    where they completed whatever it was they were doing, and
    then
    returned her and her son to the car where they were captured.
    There is of course a great deal more to the story, but
    but the
    crux of the matter is that her discription of what see saw
    matches
    perfectly with countless other incidents that have taken
    place
    over the years, and supports the claims that have made by
    both
    myself and Bill Cooper.

    In short, the evidence is there if one cares to examine
    it and
    then colate it against other evidence. Oddly enough, this
    seems
    to be the one thing that Moore and company has refused
    to do,
    saying that there is no need, because none of it is true.
    Frankly I am astounded at this attitude. For all intent
    and
    purpose it has become apparent that if these individuals are
    not
    in the employ of the government, their only interest
    in UFO
    investigation is the monetary return that it can offer
    them
    because of the interest of the general public.
    I agree that some measures must be taken in order
    to
    financually support active research and investigation, but
    not at
    the expense of fooling the people and ignoring the true
    facts of
    what is happening around us.

    This is remincent of the British Priminister, Harold
    MacMillum
    going to Munich to get a peace agreement with Hitler and
    coming
    home to tell everyone that there is nothing to fear. The
    germans
    want peace and there will be peace in our time. That peace
    lasted
    over four years and cost thousands of lives...
    I ask where Bill Moore's evidence is....so far he has
    done
    nothing more than spout retoric but hasn't even
    bothered to
    present even a comparison of data or circumstances that
    will at
    least open the door to more questions or discussion.

    @_MORAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPLICATIONS_@

    Let us assume for the moment that everything that Cooper,
    Lear,
    Bennewitz, and English have been saying is true. Then let
    us
    assume that the Aliens have in fact been present here on
    earth
    since before the beginning of our recorded history. If you
    think
    about Ezekiel and the wheel that he saw, then it's not
    that
    difficult.
    Several factions, the metaphysical in particular, have
    stated
    that there is evidence indicating that the Aliens
    constructed a
    being, either human or whatever, and placed him here on the
    earth.
    And that this being was named Jesus Christ.
    Then let us examine the Old Testament versus the New
    Testament
    bible. The Old Testament Bible speaks of a vengeful god and
    the
    New Testament speaks of a forgiving god. Frankly I lay
    no claim
    to being a theologian. But there are others
    within the
    investigative community that indicate there is in fact
    evidence
    that the Aliens have been conducting bio-genetic
    experimentation
    on humans, and also there is indication on a more practical
    level
    that the ever popular "Grey Aliens" are in fact
    biological
    constructs that serve as the work force of a higher order of
    Alien
    Beings.
    If this is true, then why is it so difficult to believe
    in the
    other possibilities???

    Once again let us assume that it is true.

    @_SCENARIO_@

    Evidence has come to light that proves the Aliens have in
    fact
    been on earth since before the beginning of recorded
    history.
    Further evidence has come to light that shows in fact the
    Aliens
    were influencing the social and religious developement of
    mankind
    and posing as a higher being, or God. Additional evidence
    shows
    that Jesus Christ was placed on earth by a different
    faction of
    Alien Beings.

    @_RESULTS?_@

    Everything that mankind has believed for the past six
    thousand
    years is nothing, therefore there is no god and the word of
    god as
    it is written in the books and laws of the major religions
    of the
    world is a false dogma handed down by beings from another
    planet.

    Aside from the fact that mankind had been betrayed for
    over six
    thousand years, the laws and moral codes that have governed
    him as
    a race are going to be looked upon as lies. It doesn't
    matter
    that those laws and codes were ultimately responsiable for
    his
    developement into what we refer to as modern
    civilization.
    Additionaly the panic and anarchy that would result from
    such a
    discovery would for the most part do one of two things. It
    would
    either distroy us as a race, or it would finally break down
    the
    barriers that have developed between us as humans and
    draw us
    together. Which it would be, is undeterminable until such
    time
    that it happens.
    With regard to moral codes and values...It would be
    evident
    that the moral codes we as a race had lived with through the
    ages,
    would have been those of a different race of beings and not
    our
    own. Would we accept them once again as ours, or would we
    fall into chaos trying to reestablish a code more suited to
    our
    own needs as human beings? And would those codes be far
    different
    from what we had originally lived with?

    @_CONCLUSIONS_@

    The first and most obvious conclusion that we must make is
    that
    there are no real answers at this point in time. The
    next
    conclusion that must be made, is that we have barely even
    started
    to learn what questions we must ask. This must be accepted
    before
    anything else can be accomplished. For the first thirty
    years of
    UFO investigation, we have slowly and painstakingly
    gathered
    evidence, reports, and sighting information not really
    knowing
    why, but doing so because of our nature as human-beings.

    @_To what purpose??_@

    It is evident that we as investigators must now come
    together
    and create a situation that gives complete access to
    documentation
    and information. We must set a policy as to review of
    information
    and public awareness, and ultimately action concerning
    release of
    such information.We must review the implications and the
    reactions
    to the release of said information, and it's effect on the
    general
    public.

    At this point I would also point out that there is a
    better
    than average chance that the public might handle it better
    than
    the government would give it credit. Due in part to the
    efforts
    of the government, as it would seem that the government
    for the
    past thirty years has made every effort it can to desensitise
    the
    general public.→
