    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 incidents.

    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, whereupon 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 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 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 peacelasted
    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.
