The GAO (Congressional investigative agency) has completed its investigation of the cover-up of documents related to the 1947 Roswell saucer crash retrieval and autopsies of extraterrestrial bodies. This investigation had been commissioned by Congressman Steven Schiff of NM. Senator Diane Feinstein joined in requesting that the GAO look into the Roswell Incident.
The GAO's Report about its Roswell and related saucer crashes documentation findings was presented to Congressman Schiff and Senator Feinstein on July 28, 1995, and immediately released to the press by Congressman Schiff.
The Roswell Report said that key military documents were apparently destroyed without authorization. Congressman Schiff characterized these documents as "important," and that they "should have provided more information." Schiff said "The military cannot explain who destroyed them or why." Schiff added that Air Force explanations "never fit the fact of high military security used at the time."
According to Representative Schiff, the GAO investigation into the Roswell Incident has stirred the interest of a number of Congressmembers. Because the GAO interviewed a number of people, and learned various things which were not in its Report, GAO staff reportedly predict that there will eventually be Congressional hearings.
In a related matter, the U.S. Air Force, in September, 1994 had issued a Report on the Roswell Incident, which admitted that they had lied to the American public for 47 years. The USAF admitted that what was retrieved from Roswell under extreme military security was not a weather balloon. But the September, 1994 Report said that what was retrieved was "probably" a spy balloon carrying a high altitude radiation detector (Project MOGUL). Now it is reported that, before the year is out, the Air Force will be issuing yet a third "report" on Roswell. This USAF Roswell Report #3 is still being drafted, and will reportedly contain information from a classified USAF document. However, the Air Force is still struggling with how to release this sensitive information on Roswell. [A trial draft was later withdrawn after being labeled ridiculous fiction.]
A published report by Richard Hall also asserted that this Winter [1995], the Central Intelligence Agency will issue a history of the CIA's involvement with UFOs. Like many other CIA reports, this one is expected to be sanitized and self-serving.
In April, 1995 at an Arkansas conference, Astronaut Gordon Cooper declared that when he was a USAF officer, a four man Air Force crew was filming a plane landing gear test at Edwards Air Force Base in 1957, when a UFO swooped down and landed at the base, while the Air Force cameras were rolling. The shocked USAF camera crew later brought the film to Edwards AFB Headquarters. Gordon Cooper personally viewed the film. EAFB commanding officers thereafter shipped it to Washington. Nothing has been heard from since about the film.
Astronaut Cooper is expected to make this revelation in a television UFO documentary to be broadcast in the Fall [1995], according to Irish film producer Jackie Dunn, who says she is working with a Canadian film production company to make a major UFO documentary film.
Cooper, also a former Air Force Colonel, granted a second interview to Sam Sherman of Independent-International Pictures Corporation, who is producing a film titled "Beyond This Earth," scheduled for Fall, 1995. [Still not released.] In it Cooper says that he "had worked on a UFO system with someone who had been in touch with extraterrestrials, and was able to gain some knowledge." This person had made a small UFO prototype, and was working on a 50 foot model with financial backing from an Arab country when he died. Cooper also talked about a Center for Advanced Technology, which apparently no longer exists. They were apparently involved in `back engineering some kind of alien technology. Cooper also talked about a friend who saw the extraterrestrial bodies at Roswell.
In a published article in April (1995), former NASA Director of Communications Maurice Chatelain dropped the bombshell revelation that the Apollo Moon Mission found "several mysterious geometric structures of unnatural origin" on the Moon.
Donna Tietze, a former photo technician at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston during the Apollo Moon Missions, revealed during a May 6, 1995 radio interview on WOL-AM in Washington, D.C., that a coworker in a restricted area had as his job to airbrush out UFOs from photos from the Moon, before NASA sold those photos to the public.
Another former astronaut, Dr. Brian O'Leary, on September 18, 1994 made the following declarations publicly at the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins, CO. Dr. O'Leary said, "For nearly fifty years, the secrecy apparatus within the United States Government has kept from the public UFO and alien contact information." He flatly stated that "We have contact with alien cultures...." As for the nondisclosure of these facts, Dr. O'Leary said, "[T]he suppression of UFO and other extraterrestrial intelligence information for at least 47 years is probably being orchestrated by an elite band of men in the CIA, NSA [National Security Agency], DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency], and their like. This small group appears able to keep these already hard to believe secrets very well. ...[T]hose who have investigated this hydra-headed beast believe that the Cosmic Watergate of UFO, alien, mind control, genetic engineering, free energy, antigravity propulsion and other secrets will make Watergate or Irangate appear to be kindergarten exercises."
In 1993, Laurence Rockefeller, long an interested follower of the UFO phenomenon, assisted by his "point man" on UFO matters, Cdr. Scott Jones, Ph.D., USN-ONI (Ret.), former career Intelligence officer, began a campaign, dubbed the White House Initiative, to get the current Administration to reveal to the public promptly, yet responsibly, what the Government knows about UFOs and ET visitation. Rockefeller and Jones met with Clinton White House Science Advisor Dr. John Gibbons in March, 1993, and presented a "Matrix of UFO Belief" analysis monograph. A follow-up visit by Mr. Rockefeller took place with Dr. Gibbons at the White House Feb. 4, 1994. Thereafter, it is reliably reported that President Clinton gave initial agreement with the White House Initiative. Subsequently, White House Science Advisor Gibbons had been tasked to find out everything about UFOs.
A recent Freedom of Information Act request directed to Dr. Gibbons yielded a cache of UFO-related correspondence between Dr. Gibbons and Laurence Rockefeller, Dr. Scott Jones, U.S. Air Force officials, former French Government UFO investigations office (GEPAN) official, Dr. Jacques Vallee, and former Defense Secretary Melvin Laird. Defense Secretary Laird is the official who also authored a letter (I have seen) to incoming Clinton Administration Defense Secretary Les Aspin, offering to brief him about UFO matters. Dr. Jacques Vallee, in an April, 1995 letter, also offered to brief White House Science Advisor Gibbons on his UFO information.
On the weekend of August 19-20, 1995 Laurence Rockefeller had President Clinton as his guest at his Wyoming ranch in the Grand Tetons. The New York Daily News reported that Rockefeller has been pressing the Clinton Administration to open the government's UFO files. The News has obtained correspondence from Laurence Rockefeller to White House Science Advisor Dr. John Gibbons, in which Rockefeller stated that the government must put an end to the over 40 years denial of UFOs.
Mr. Rockefeller has recently funded a study on UFO activity, which involved the help of three former astronauts. This study is expected to be presented to the White House this 1995 Fall.
When he first took office, President Carter tried to learn what the government knew about UFOs. President Carter was denied access to UFO information which the CIA had, by then CIA Director George Bush, who told the President that he did not have clearance for that information. In similar fashion, President Clinton is not satisfied with the briefings he has gotten from the CIA on UFOs, because the CIA information conflicts with the information which the President's Science Advisor Jack Gibbons has independently acquired.
A source in contact with CIA's UFO Desk within the Directorate for Science and Technology reports that President Clinton has already made several pilot videos of proposed alternative public announcements about UFOs and extraterrestrial presence and visitation.
Dr. Steven Greer, head of CSETI [Committee for the Study of Extra Terrestrial Intelligence], has likewise provided two White House briefings to Science Advisor Gibbons on his UFO findings. Dr. Greer has also been making international contacts with European governmental leaders, to attempt to achieve consensus on an international joint statement acknowledging UFO and extraterrestrial visitation reality. Dr. Greer is engaging in this project in concert with the BSW Foundation's Marie Galbraith, a good friend of Laurence Rockefeller, and wife of Evan Galbraith, Reagan's former Ambassador to France.
