From Quiet Disbelief to a UFO EncounterAs a child growing up in the fifties, the major newspaper headlines revealed the success of the Russian space exploration and their "sputnik." In my moments of deep thoughts the idea of extraterrestrials on space ships landing on earth were a familiar theme. I did not need to examine the facts. I simply accepted that someday we would know the truth which would reveal the existence of life on other planets, as well as there being UFO’s flying in our airspace. I just did not think it would be revealed in my lifetime.The first tangible experience to convince me UFO’s existed occurred in July 1968 in a small town near the Blarney Castle in Ireland. We were watching the American Astronauts land on the moon in a common television room in the hotel lobby. The mood of celebration and joy permeated the room. The Irish were so excited about the American Astronauts moon landing. As we watched the spaceship landing on the moon we heard an audible transmission that was shocking. One of the astronauts clearly stated that there were UFO’s sighted around the lunar spacecraft, as the others excitedly repeated the same observation. Neil Armstrong then stated he would be delayed in taking his first steps on the moon until the UFO’s cleared the area. Too stunned by the announcement no one uttered a word while our eyes were glued to the television program. The audio transmission abruptly became inaudible and the visual transmission went dark. About three and a half minutes lapsed before the program blinked back on just in time to hear an announcer from mission control that there was a mistake and retracted what had just been observed and announced by the astronauts. There was a delay in Neil Armstrong leaving the lunar craft but it was no longer blamed on UFO’s. The excitement of his first steps on the moon overshadowed the announcement of UFO’s and generated only a few minutes of discussion in the hotel lobby concerning the puzzling broadcast. We returned to the United States five weeks later expecting to hear about this episode. To our surprise no American had heard what we had heard. That broadcast only was heard on European television. For years I wondered about the broadcast but never verbalized my thoughts. To me UFO’s were at the moon but the American’s never knew what delayed the moon walk. While attending a UFO conference in 1990, I announced my experience in Ireland during the moon walk broadcast. A woman from Germany confirmed my experience. At the time of the broadcast in 1969 she still lived in Germany, and she had heard the same broadcast. This gave me the confidence to believe that there most likely was a government cover-up... In March of 1990, as I finished teaching a night school course, I got in my car and headed home. I turned right on a road that went directly to my town. Twenty-five to thirty-five minutes later I "woke up" in a confused trance-like state frightened because the area was unfamiliar and also wooded, very unlike the road I remembered turning onto. I was very disoriented and trance-like which also upset me. I entered my house mumbling to my son about a very strange experience that I had just had. I also complained about being extremely tired and I needed to lay down. I thought those feelings were particularly unusual since I usually come home exhilarated and energized from teaching courses A few weeks later I attended a UFO conference. There I learned the elements of an abduction: missing time, extreme tiredness, and a trance-like or confused state. A subsequent hypnotic regression a few months later by a psychiatrist friend revealed I had been abducted. A few weeks after the encounter my three year old car acted mechanically strange. Mechanics could not determine why the car repeatedly stalled without warning or in any particular pattern. Then the transmission failed and a new one was installed. While the mechanic test drove the car, the newly installed transmission blew up. A third transmission had to be installed. The car was never the same after that encounter and I finally had to trade in my car. At the conference I also learned that cars that have been in an encounter experienced unusual mechanical failure afterwards. In July 1990 I arranged to have a hypnotic regression to determine what happened during my missing time. The hypnotic regression indeed indicated I had been abducted in my car and actually beamed up into a space ship. My experience was a positive one according to the regression. I set the details aside and continued my work without anymore incidences. Since that encounter my psychic ability increased. I never wanted to do professional readings but through word of mouth people contacted me. At times it almost seemed I was being forced to do readings since I only advertised my Hypnosis business Finally, I accepted the abilities as a gift and verbally addressed God, " I don’t understand why, but it seems you want me to do psychic consultations. I don’t really want to, but it is obvious that you want me to do them. So I’ll just accept the work and someday I will understand. TYPES OF UFO EXPERIENCES REPORTED (excerpts taken from Dr. Leo Sprinkle's lecture at UFO conference in 1990) SIGHTINGS Lights seen in the sky Disks seen in daylight Visual object appears or is recorded on radar The visual object appears to be a solid, constructed vehicle under an intelligent control. Sometimes observed by multiple witnesses. Features observed (luring a sighting have been sound, external lights, landing gear, Antenna, vapor, ports or windows, dome, heat and the UFO rotating. Object moving in a vertical ascent. Object appears to be not moving or just hovering
ENCOUNTERS Object is seen within 500 ft. hovering over the ground Object interacts with the environment People have severe sun burn after encounter Interaction with humanoid Humanoid may approach you A message may be received
ABDUCTIONS Taken aboard a ship Missing time Trance-like hypnotic feeling Very tired and physically heavy feeling The UFO is described as a domed disc with flashing or pulsating lights Unusual high-pitched sounds are heard Witnesses sometimes see alien beings looking out of windows in their craft. The being often seem to be exerting some kind of hypnotic influence on the people watching them. The entities often communicate telepathically with the human but often utter Incomprehensible sounds to communicate with each other. They generally assure the witness or abductee will not be harmed and usually experience a feeling of calm. The witnesses often see panels with many TV-like screens. Witnesses are sometimes floated through the air on beams of light and often see groups of alien entities in large rooms. The witnesses are usually subjected to a medical examination with elaborate machines. What are UFOs?
Thinking of a UFO usually conjures up the image of the vehicles portrayed in most science fiction films and books. Most people envision a UFO as a spacecraft carrying extraterrestrials from other planets who are technologically superior to humans. But how many people actually see that type of UFO in the sky? Not all UFO sightings are true. The are a number of objects and natural phenomena that are often mistaken as UFO's. They can be man-made objects such as: Aircraft lights, planes with signs made with lots of lights, military refueling exercise, amateur aircraft, kites, fireworks, children's hot air balloons, weather balloons, rocket launches and re-entries, sodium and barium clouds, releases from rockets for atmospheric tests, military plane flares. They can also be natural phenomena such as: Mirages, ball lightning, birds, meteors, stars especially Sirius, Capella, and Arcturus in the Northen Hemisphere, planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and the moon especially when its full and near the horizon. Star People
After the reading I attended a lecture at the conference presented by Dr.Andrijah Puharich. He was a medical doctor doing cancer research. He had encounters with UFO’S and other’s who also had encounters which he presented during the lecture as well as some possible explanations for the Aids virus. After the presentation a group of people gathered around him to ask him questions. A woman addressed him with a question that left me speechless. She asked very bluntly,"What do you do if you have a space child?" I expected the lecturer to deny any truth to the idea of space children. Instead he answered her very seriously. "You get them out of the country. Space children need to be reared in an unrestricted environment in order for them to reach their full potential." She then asked if a mother could go with her space child? Dr. Puharich answered yes and further explained that he will give his contact her name. You could just imagine my reaction since I had just been told I was a space child According to Dr. Puharich, his contacts told him there were space children who are incarnated on earth now. They have psychic abilities and other talents which may also include levitating and extraordinary healing talents. A lot of space kids are now mature and are now going through the process of awakening to the memories of a mission. A lot of these space kids have become brilliant academicians and have worked or are working themselves toward a political position of some sort as an assistant or gaining prominence in other fields of endeavors. Space children generate "energy" to help the planet. People who fit the space children pattern usually have very little ego. They have patience, lots of empathy, are good listeners and you feel good just being around them because of their energy. The person sitting next to me at the conference suggested that I read the book, STAR PEOPLE, by Brad and Francie Steiger. Reading that book triggered off memories of dreams that I had as a very young child. One particular dream involved a space ship on a mountain that I visited in my dreams as a young child. In 1997 I visited Mt. Shasta in California. When I arrived by car at the top level of the winding road, the beauty of the mountain overwhelmed me. UFO'S AND THE GOVERNMENT SECRECY: THE ROSWELL CONNECTION UFO researcher, Robert J. VanDerClock, was an invited guest to my house for dinner. I did not know him, but a mutual friend from Massachusetts planned to visit me with three other people from New York, and Virginia. An informal get-together was planned for all of us to meet. The meeting ended with my interest to know more about Bob's research. So Bob presented a lecture at the Jersey Society of Parapsychology. As a result of his impressive and knowledgeable presentation, I asked if he would write some commentary and concluding remarks on the government secrecy concerning UFO's based on his personal research. Robert J. VanDerClock has served three years in the military as a U.S. Army Intelligence agent who, following a year of Vietnamese language training at Virginia's Defense Language Institute, served in Vietnam as an "undercover" state department worker. He has a B.A. degree in Political Science from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. Bob's interest in UFO's was triggered by the 1988 T.V. special, UFO "COVER-UP" LIVE which was his first introduction to the "Roswell Incident". The books entitled the "Roswell Incident" by Berlitz and Moore, and the "Crash at Corona"; The US Military Retrieval and Cover-Up of a UFO" by Stanton Friedman and Don Berliner added to his quest for knowledge. He subsequently wrote a research paper entitled, "The Roswell Incident ,The Rush Towards Full Accounting". After a few public presentations on his UFO research, two private sources approached Bob with some stunning information concerning the Roswell events and their aftermath almost a half-century earlier. In March 1996, Bob released another research paper based on this new information he received from those private sources. This paper is called, "Roswell, The Mystery Deepens". In October 1996, Bob received an unexpected letter from Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., currently the state surgeon of Montana, and holder of a top secret clearance as an Army National Guard helicopter pilot. Dr. Marcel's letter was astounding, it disclosed that he had handled some of the 1947 Roswell debris which was displayed to him by his father, one of the first two military men at the crash scene. Dr. Marcel’s letter increased Bob’s quest to an all-out search for the "truth" about Roswell. (Included in the letter was his request for Bob to cease public discussion of a confidential matter concerning his experience that both were aware of. Bob has since honored that request by Dr.Marcel.) COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS ON THE GOVERNMENT SECRECY: Why Is There so "Much ado about nothing" if There is Nothing? , is Bob's favorite phrase when addressing the topic of UFO's and the Government Cover-up. After nearly six years of determined research into the Roswell incident and other related subjects, Bob has determined several conclusions regarding the results of the investigation. 1. The continued cover-up by the US Air Force (and it's predecessor, the Army Air Corps) of the real nature of the Roswell incident, whatever the truth may be, remains a national abomination. While tangible proof has yet to be forthcoming, the web of circumstancial and testimonial evidence continues to tighten around the Air Force, whose 51 year effort to conceal the matter via denial, misinformation and ridicule, appears now to be in a state of disarray. This has prompted heavy speculation that an admission of "deceit" by the Air Force and by the U.S. Government concerning Roswell may be forthcoming in the near future. 2. The Air Force has produced three rather prosaic but decidedly different explanations for the Roswell incident during more than five decades. None of these explanations hold up to serious scrutiny. After of July 1947 press release claiming a "flying disk" had been captured by Roswell base personnel, the Air Force took only five hours to quickly discredit the initial explanation, calling the "flying disks" the misidentified remnants of a common weather balloon. However, 47 years later a new explanation Top Secret Project Mogul Spy Balloon- was presented by the USAF in the middle of an official congressional investigative search for Roswell records among numerous government agencies. The next plateau for Bob's quest occurred in June 1997. He almost literally "devoured" a new book written by Colonel Philip J. Corso, retired, called "The Day After Roswell." Corso claimed that Roswell was definitely an event of extraterrestrial origin and among other things, many of our so-called "high tech" discoveries and inventions during the latter half of the 20th century came directly from what was found at the Roswell (Corona Desert) crash. He also added that the US had fought, and eventually won , a supersecret war with extraterrestrials. (The result stemming from the Reagan Strategic Defense Initiative covering the period 1947-1985.-"Star Wars") The new conclusion by the USAF actually pre-empted it's supposed investigative partner, the General Accounting Office, whose participation had been solicited by New Mexico Congressman, Steven Schilf. Finally in June 1997, the Air Force released a new study explaining the supposed "recovered bodies" of aliens four feet tall were crash test dummies of over six feet in size, first used in high altitude parachute jump tests beginning in 1953, six years after the Roswell crash. Additionally, the "Alien wreckage" was actually materials from the high tech jump retrieval equipment, according to the report. There is no definitive or conclusive documentation in support of any of these suspicious contentions. 3. The Air Force officer that signed the 9/94 "Mogul Report" and the 1995 follow-up study "Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction In The New Mexico Desert" was now-retired Colonel Richard Weaver, revealed by Stanton Friedman in his 1996 book "Top Secret/Magic" to be a disinformation agent under the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Weaver additionally taught a course in the uses of disinformation to OSI field agents. This fact, and the implausible "crash test dummies" report (June 1997) lends further credence to the accepted suspicion that the Air Force knows far more than it is telling about Roswell 4. The late Colonel Philip J.Corso's ET explanation of the incident in his work, "The Day After Roswell" has not met with a single governmental word of official denial of his allegations. Corso's surviving co-author William Birnes said Corso believed he was permitted to publish the book as part of the gradual "conditioning" program to accept extra-terrestrial reality. Considering that Corso was a former National Security Advisor to President Eisenhower, his viewpoints carry considerable clout until they are disproved. No one except the usual skeptics appear in any rush to attempt to do so. 5. The credibility of the USAF on Roswell continues to decrease with each implausible conclusion for the incident. As Stanton Friedman commented after the release of the 9/94 Project Mogul Report, "if we weren't supposed to have believed them in 47 years, why believe them now?" 6. If,as the Air Force claims , there has never been a cover-up on the Roswell incident or flying saucers, why continue to lie about it? The answer is simply that there is a cover-up, and the cover-up is still on-going. 7. The "Project Mogul" balloon clusters consisted totally of 100% unclassified components. Why then, does the Air Force claim that Major Jesse Marcel, representing the world's only atomic airbase at the time, simply misidentified this contraption as a "possible spacecraft?" The USAF claim that "Marcel misidentified a classified balloon program he knew nothing about" is ridiculous, as Marcel had specialized radar training early in his career and, some six months after the incident was assigned to the Pentagon to help analyze air samples from Project Mogul! Considering Marcel's impressive background, his decision to "go public" in 1978 about Roswell should not have been treated nearly as a "non-event" by the media. The media in complicity here? 8. A most revealing clue concerning the Air Force's Roswell "stonewalling" is self-evident during the 1994 incident investigation. Despite USAF efforts to dissuade the General Accounting office to continue investigating after the "Mogul Documents" were released, the GAO for ten months persevered, learning that the Roswell Air Base outgoing and administrative records for a period from 1946-1949 were destroyed by unauthorized persons with no explanation as to who may have done this or under what authorization. Colonel Richard Weaver claimed in the 1995 follow-up report that some of the missing records had been found, "misfiled" in records repositories such as the one in St. Louis, Missouri. Weaver then said almost nothing of the content of the suddenly "found" records. In short, the Air Force is still hiding something about the Roswell incident. With the Air Force practically eliminating most other alternatives themselves, we are left with at least two "plausible" explanations. 1. A secret military operation that failed miserably; perhaps at the risk of National security exposure, the Air Force created an extraterrestrial "cover story" to deflect attention from the true nature of an immense accident or unplanned deaths to many military personnel. 2. By process of elimination and with abundant circumstantial evidence in search of "proof", a possible extraterrestrial event. The March 1999 issue of Fate magazine contains written excerpts of Bob's third research paper. All three research papers are included in the Roswell Museum Library. The three research papers can be obtained for $ 24.95 from Robert J. VanDerClock and he is also available as a speaker. His mailing address is P.O. Box 41 ,Waldwick, N.J. 07463.
