134answer that fit the facts of the phenomenon and said so in print,before the lid slammed shut within the military on opendiscussion of the subject when the CIA took control of allUFO-related information-gathering in 1956.

“Flying Saucer” was originally part of a newspaperheadline, referring to Kenneth Arnold’s description in 1947 of his sighting of disks that flew in formation near Mount Rainierin the state of Washington. He said they looked like twosaucers, one turned on top of the other and later described theirmovements to reporters, “like a saucer would [look] if youskipped it across the water.” The term stuck.“Fast Walker” is supposedly the military designation forthe typical small flying saucer, and of course “Mother Ship”refers to one that is much larger.I like Captain Ruppelt’s “UFO” because, in the largersense, we really don’t know what they are. Are these ships that

Refer to page 338 in the Appendix for a photocopy of the original dust jacket to the hardcover edition of Flying Saucers from Outer Space, byMajor Donald Keyhoe, USMC, ret. On the back is reproduced a letterreceived by the publisher from the Department of Defense, written by publicrelations officer Albert Chop on DOD stationary, describing Major Keyhoeas “a responsible, accurate reporter,” and confirming that “all the sightingreports and other information he listed have been cleared and made availableto Major Keyhoe from Air Technical Intelligence records, at his request.”The letter ends by saying that there are those in the Air Force who believe“if the apparently controlled maneuvers reported by many competentobservers are correct, then the only remaining explanation is theInterplanetary Answer.” In Flying Saucer Conspiracy, another book byKeyhoe, he reproduced a letter from Edward J. Ruppelt, Chief of ProjectBlue Book, in which Ruppelt stated that he agreed with the above statementby Mr. Chop in regards to the origins of flying saucers.

October 17, 2006 – Tuesday

I’m recovering from what I think is a mild case of radiation poisoning. Yesterday, when I got up I wasn’t feelingtoo well. For the last two weeks I’ve been battling severesciatic pain on my right side. A regimen of hot and cold packs,exercise and codeine medication have barely kept me from panic, as pain constantly shoots up and down my leg. I had believed my queasiness was due to the cumulative effects of exhaustion and frayed nerves that can result from severechronic pain. I shaved and got dressed to go to work, pushing asidethoughts of calling in sick. At my age, I don’t want to give people at work any reason to question my ability to keep up, sooff to work I went. I knew that something had happened duringthe night, though. My lips were numb. I stopped on the way to work to talk with a street musician and he commented on my “sunburn.” I didn’t knowwhat he was talking about because I hadn’t been out of myapartment all weekend (except for breakfast at the corner café,a half a block away from my apartment), but when I stopped bythe restroom at work before going to my desk I saw what hehad been talking about. Three fourths of my face was a dark red color with a clear straight line down the middle of my left cheek, marking the boundary between pink flesh and red meat. It didn’t hurt, although it certainly looked as if it should, and earlier in the morning I was able to shave without feeling anyundue tenderness. (The ETs have for me often rendered painless what should have been very painful.) For some reasonthe artificial lighting in my bathroom at home didn’t show theredness nearly as clearly as the natural lighting in thebathroom at work, which is provided by a light-well and a bank of corrugated glass windows. Three of my co-workers saw the“sunburn.” One hypothesized a drug reaction with one of mymedications. The usual morning cups of coffee didn’t doanything to improve my stamina, so I finally went home and slept the rest of the day and most of the night (never more thantwo hours in a row, of course).

241sides and the floors with folded strips of cloth. I positioned thecage so that the walls I made shielded the light, giving Nicky acertain amount of privacy. The middle floor served as his innersanctum as well as his bedroom, evidenced by the number of treasures he would hide there.The cage stood at the end of a long dresser, high up off the floor and in the corner next to the wall. With the cage dooralways open, he would come and go as he pleased. A largetowel, loosely gathered around the base of the cage, gaveadditional places for him to hide.Nicodemus would often run the length of the dresser,from his little house out into the vast unknown at the other endof the dresser top, and push his nose out as far as he could tosample the air. (Rodents are extremely near-sighted and feelvulnerable if out in the open. They run along the walls, so as tobe able to find their way home again.) For one virtually blind,it was a considerable distance back to the safety of his cage, buthe would venture out to the far edge of the dresser many timesa day, in response to nothing obvious save his hunger to knowwhat was beyond his little world. Sometimes he would stick his nose out too far and lose his balance. If I was in the room, Iwould hear the “thump” as he hit the floor, and I’d come to hisrescue. If not, I would always find Nicky close to the dresserwhere he had fallen, still shaking with fear.I often wondered why he insisted on reaching beyondthe safety and comfort of his nest, if he was so afraid of theunexplored world into which he would periodically fall. Likelittle Nicky, I too am afraid of the unknown, and like that rat, Itoo want to know what’s “out there.” I just hope there’ssomeone there to pick me up if I fall.

To Laugh or To Cry

As Experiencers, what do we feel when we watch thelatest media offering, based upon what most of the worldregards as bad joke, and what we know to be the fantastic truth?We know that flying saucers are real, not just unexplainedlights in the sky, but real vehicles piloted by real beings not of

242this time and space. We know that real people are beingabducted/visited, because we are those people. We know thatwe’re not a joke, even if the rest of the world thinks we are. Sohow are we to react to the barrage of movies and TV shows thatexploit us for their profit?I don’t know. I guess it depends on how one personallyfeels about their adventure. It is an adventure, isn’t it? Wewake up one morning and find that we’re in the middle of a badscience fiction movie. But, unlike most people, we can’tchange channels or get up and leave the theatre. Our moviecontinues to play each night, scene by scene, and we can’tbegin to guess the ending. There are many times when I wantto jump up and yell, “Cut,” but then I remember that it’s not amovie and that I can’t stop it and that I have to sit down andtake it.For some of us, our movie takes on the plot twists of aspy thriller. When I find that my phone is tapped, that myapartment is routinely entered by “human” intruders (usuallytoward the end of every month) and that my computer istampered with (viruses inserted into the system without evergoing online), believe me when I say that I really would like tobe able to turn off the TV and forget about it, but then there isthat annoying little detail. I can’t, because it isn’t a movie. It’sall f***ing real!So maybe I do get a little defensive when I see what themedia does to us. Any comic can get a cheap laugh at ourexpense and everyone is trying to make money by keeping the joke alive. Be it

was very well done, I must admit. Iwas grateful that it was written as a big comic book, with thePresident of the United States flying off to lead the last decisivebattle. But I cringed when everyone laughed and made fun of the abducted bush pilot. I felt he should have aimed his guns athis earthly tormentors, instead of at the Aliens. (In real life,I’ve had my Alien contacts do me more good than the humanintrusions I’ve had to suffer.)

mixed a lot of truth with their dark plot lines.Again, I had mixed feelings. It was refreshing to see some of the conspiracies, which I now know to be real, portrayed assuch. But here again, as in

, the Aliens areevil. Our government is also evil, but is supposed to be thelesser of the two. Why, because it’s the home team?So am I now supposed to root for the real “Men inBlack”? I don’t think so. Not when I’ve been on the receivingend of their amusing little antics, like smearing the inside of myshower curtain with blood and bits of intestine. Harmless prank,or an attempt to unhinge me mentally so that no one, not evenmy closest family or friends, could possibly believe anything Imight say on the subject of UFOs?It’s just a twist on what they used to routinely do topolicemen and airline pilots who reported their close encounters.But why just circulate reports of mental instability (which mayor may not be believed), when you might achieve the real thingwith a few well-timed shocks? (Anyone ever see the move,

314In 1928 this same circle of Black Magicians sponsoredthe opening in Berlin of a chapter of Agarthi, one of the TibetanBlack Lodges, which helped magically to bring about the riseof the Nazi party.

Hitler was often seen visiting one Tibetanmonk called “The Man with the Green Gloves,” who wasreported to be psychic and to hold the “keys to the Kingdom of Agarthi.”

With their practice of Black Magick, the Nazis mostcertainly caught the attention of very dark, InterdimensionalBeings.

This was undoubtedly their intent, as the purpose of magick (black, white or gray) is to illicit the help of theappropriate gods or goddesses in “The Work” at hand.

Themagical work that the Nazis hoped to achieve was to bring

A few surviving members of one of the Lodgesof the White Brotherhood are rumored to have fled to the United States,but such reports may be more wishful thinking than anything credible.

It is these IDs to whom Eckardt must have referred when he said thatHitler had been given the means to communicate with “Them.”

The connection between Higher Beings (both light and dark) and RitualMagick is as old as magick itself. All the ancient civilizations said thatthey were instructed in the practice of magick by their gods. As an aside,let me say that anyone who performs a magick ritual, and does it well,will get the attention of very real unseen entities. My circle of magiciansoften perceives a Gray in attendance, when we draw the circle inpreparation for our rituals. We were told they are watching because wecreate a “bubble in time” with our magick. I think that their commentwas meant to imply that they do the same.

My Letter to the Mole

Charles WeissP.O. Box xxxxxSan Francisco, CA xxxxx-xxxxXxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx StreetXxxxxx, CA xxxxxMay 16, 1997Dear Xxxxx:I’m sorry we couldn’t meet face to face. I would have really preferredto say the things I have to say to you, in person. It would have been thehonorable thing to do. Well, at least I tried.Let me first apologize, if I’m wrong in my suspicions. I may verywell be, and it can’t be confirmed one way or the other, but I would beremiss in my duties as facilitator of our UFO support group if I didn’t act onthese suspicions. At any rate, I’m deeply sorry if I’m wrong. Only you canknow for sure if I am. Well, here goes.For the last several months, I have had the growing, uneasy feelingthat you are more than what you present yourself to be. Call me paranoid if you like, but I have come to suspect that you are a government plant in ourUFO group.As interested as the government is in UFOs and UFO Contactees, it isonly logical to assume that any UFO group that was advertised publiclywould fall under its scrutiny. I knew this was a possibility when I passed outthose flyers at the Whole Life Expo. After all, I know that I am personallyunder surveillance. (I’ve been able to verify that my apartment is routinelyentered, usually around the middle of the month. Given that, I must assumethat my phone is tapped and my apartment bugged, as well.) So it’s no greatleap of faith to believe that our UFO group would also have a governmentmole. The only question was who.To tell the truth, I wasn’t looking for a “spy,” when I came to suspectyou. In fact, the only way I’ve been able to keep my equilibrium in the faceof all this intrusion into my personal life, both alien and government, is toaccept the fact that my life is an open book. Anyone with access is going toknow everything about me. (I became used to this kind of scrutiny when Iworked at the Pentagon with a top-secret clearance during the VietnamWar.) Although I fully expected our UFO group to be “infiltrated,” I didn’twant to dwell on it. I felt that there wasn’t much new that would likely be

337

revealed at our meetings, that the government didn’t already know. My hopewas that, by organizing a new support group, I might help others in comingto terms with their ET contact experiences. However, once I came to suspectsomeone of actually being the mole I thought our group was likely to have, Ifelt I had to do something. As I said, I think I would be acting irresponsible,as our group’s facilitator, if I didn’t.Rather than anything you’ve done, it was your “inaction” that arousedmy curiosity. You attend every meeting without fail, but you nevercontribute anything to the discussion. Outside of retelling your original storya couple of times, for those new to our group, you always keep silent.Regardless of the topic, you have never voiced an opinion on anything, evento just nod your head in agreement. Occasionally, you’re even obvious inyour disinterest. (Your attention wanders as you fidget in your seat. It looks,to anyone who is observant, that you often can’t wait for the meeting toend.) One then has to ask, “Why do you come to the meetings at all?” Whatdo you get out of them? I know that you attend other UFO-related meetingsin the area so there are other outlets for you, if your interest in UFOs isgenuine. Why do you keep coming to our meetings, if they bore you somuch? The only answer, that I can come up with, is that you’re paid to doso. (I might add that I’m not the only one in our group to notice your oddbehavior, although no one has told me that they suspect what I do.)Believing, as I do, that your attendance at our UFO meetings is forreasons less than honorable, I must ask you not attend them. As I said, Isincerely apologize if I’m wrong. I may very well be. However, since thereis no way to prove a negative, there is really nothing you can say toconvince me that I am. And, since I don’t have any hard evidence to provethe positive, it would be irresponsible of me to voice my suspicions toanyone else. If anyone asks why you no longer come to the meetings, I’ll just answer that I believe your interests lie somewhere else. As far as I’mconcerned, this matter can be just between us. That is, of course, if youremain silent as well. If, however, I hear that you’re telling people that Iasked you to leave the group, then I will have every right to explain mysuspicions to anyone who will listen.I hope you’ll believe me when I say that I personally wish you well. Idon’t harbor any ill feelings toward you. You were just doing your job.Sincerely,Charles Weiss

Famous Conspiracy Theorists in History

The next time somebody rolls his eyes and calls you a “conspiracy theorist,”tell that person you’re in good company and quote liberally from thefollowing:

Franklin D. Roosevelt:

American President who, in a letter datedNovember 23, 1933 to President Wilson’s top advisor, Colonel EdwardHouse, wrote, “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that afinancial element in the large centers has owned the government ever sincethe days of Andrew Jackson.” FDR was also quoted as saying, “In politics,nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned thatway.”

Elliot Roosevelt:

Son of the American President, FDR, who wrote, “Thereare within our world perhaps only a dozen organizations which shape thecourses of our various destinies as rigidly as the regularly constitutedgovernments.”

Woodrow Wilson:

American President who wrote, “Some of the biggestmen in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, areafraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized,so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that theyhad better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

Felix Frankfurter:

US Supreme Court justice who said, “The real rulers inWashington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.”

Joseph P. Kennedy:

1920s era “bootlegger” with mob connections, whobecame ambassador to England (his son would later become President.) Hewas quoted as saying, “Fifty men run America and that’s a high figure.”

John F. Hylan:

Mayor of New York, who in 1922 said, “The real menaceof our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopussprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation . . . At the head of thisoctopus is the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses, generally referred to as the international bankers(who) virtually run the US government for their own selfish purposes.”

Buckminster R. Fuller:

Great innovative thinker who said, shortly beforehis death in 1983, “The USA is not run by its would-be ‘democraticgovernment.’ Nothing could be more pathetic than the role that has to beplayed by the President of the United States, whose power is approximately

Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions

. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1996.

Budd Hopkins is one of the first people to enter the field of Abductionresearch. He is credited with “discovering” two major elements of thephenomenon: “missing fetuses,” resulting in the creation of human-Alienhybrids, and “missing time,” an indication that a real physical Alienencounter has taken place.

Intruders

and

Missing Time

are “textbooks” onthese two subjects.

Budd Hopkins and Carol Rainey

Sight Unseen: Science, UFO Invisibility and Transgenic Beings

. New York, NY: Atria Books, 2003.

This is an interesting volume by Budd Hopkins and his wife, Carol Rainey.The science part of the book is written by Ms. Rainey and describes thelatest discoveries in various scientific disciplines that might help explainsome of the Alien technology that seems to us today to be like magick. Thesection on Transgenic Beings (differing from Hybrids in that the person isphysically changed after birth in specific ways through “gene therapy”) isvery interesting; the authors may have discovered another way the ETs arefurthering their genetic agenda.

, Lilburn. GA: IllumiNet Press, 1999.

Mind Control and UFOs: Casebook on Alternative 3

. Kempton,IL: Adventures Unlimited Press, 1999, rpt. 2005.

Jim Keith was a well respected researcher in the world of conspiracies, untilhis own suspicious death while undergoing a simple knee operation. In afield filled with paranoia, his voice was reasoned and his research wellfounded. I recommend his books, even if I do disagree with his conclusionsregarding ETs and flying vans.

Donald Keyhoe was a retired Marine Corps Major with contacts in the AirForce that initially cooperated with him and provided much of the casematerial he quoted. He was extremely credible and was one of the first towrite reasonably on the subject. His books are still good reads these manyyears later.

John E. Mack, M.D.

Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens

. New York, NY:Macmillan Publishing Company, 1994.

Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters

. New York, NY: Crown Publishers, 1999.

Dr. Mack was a Harvard professor whose tenured position was challengedwhen he wrote that the UFO Abduction phenomenon should be consideredat face value, instead of treating it as a mental health issue. His conclusion,that the ET agenda is largely spiritual in nature, is detailed in

Passport to theCosmos

and well worth reading.

Jim Marrs

Alien Agenda: Investigating the Extraterrestrial Presence Among Us

. New York, NY: Harper Collins, 1997.

If there was only one book to read on the subject of UFOs, this would be theone. The best summary of the subject currently available. Jim Marrs is asuperb researcher. His inquiries into the JFK assassination (

Crossfire

), 9/11(

Inside Job

and

The Terror Conspiracy

), and the Illuminati (

Rule bySecrecy

) are all definitive works on their subjects.

Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier

The Morning of the Magicians

. Paris: Editions Gallimard; NewYork, NY: Avon Books, 1963.

The authors cover a wide variety of unusual subjects to support theircontention that our world has entered a new era of the fantastic, whereoccult forces that had operated from behind the scenes for thousands of years are now in the open for all to see. One third of the book focuses on
