The Doomsday Conspiracy   ::   Sheldon Sidney

Yet, in the foreword to Above Top Secret, a remarkable book by Timothy Good, Lord Hill-Norton, Admiral of the Fleet and British Chief of Defence Staff from 1971 to 1973, writes:

The evidence that there are objects which have been seen in our atmosphere, and even on terra firma, that cannot be accounted for either as man-made objects or as any physical force or effect known to our scientists seems to me to be overwhelming … A very large number of sightings have been vouched for by persons whose credentials seem to me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots …

In 1933, the 4th Swedish Flying Corps began an investigation of mysterious unmarked aircraft appearing over Scandinavia, and on April 30th, 1934, Major-General Erik Reuterswaerd issued the following statement to the press:

Comparisons of these reports show that there can be no doubt about illegal air traffic over our secret military areas. There are many reports from reliable people which describe close observation of the enigmatic flier. And in every case, the same remark can be noted; no insignias or identifying marks are visible on the machines … the question is: Who or what are they, and why have they been invading our air territory?

In 1947, Professor Paul Santorini, a leading Greek scientist, was asked to investigate missiles flying over Greece. “We soon established that they were not missiles. But, before we could do any more, the Army, after conferring with foreign officials, ordered the investigation stopped. Foreign scientists flew to Greece for secret talks with me.” [Emphasis added.]

The professor confirmed that a “world blanket of secrecy” surrounded the UFO question because, among other reasons, the authorities were unwilling to admit the existence of a force against which there was “no possibility of defence”.

From 1947 to 1952, ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Centre) received approximately 1,500 official reports of sightings. Of these the Air Force carries 20 per cent as unexplained.

Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain in 1940, wrote:

More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any “scientific explanation”. They have been tracked on radar screens … and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 miles an hour … I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from an extraterrestrial source …

Recently, in Elmwood, Wisconsin, the entire town watched as flying saucers moved across their skies for several days.

General Lionel Max Chassin, who rose to the rank of Commanding General of the French Air Forces and served as General Air Defence Co-ordinator, Allied Air Forces, Central Europe (NATO), wrote:

That strange things have been seen is now beyond question … The number of thoughtful, intelligent, educated people in full possession of their faculties who have “seen something” and described it grows every day.

Then there was the famous Roswell Incident, in 1947. According to eyewitness reports, on the evening of July 2nd, a bright disc-shaped object was seen over Roswell, New Mexico. The following day, widely scattered wreckage was discovered by a local ranch manager and his two children. The authorities were alerted and an official statement was released confirming that the wreckage of a flying disc had been recovered. A second press statement was immediately issued stating that the wreckage was nothing more than the remains of a weather balloon, which was dutifully displayed at a press conference. Meanwhile the real wreckage was reported to have been sent to Wright Field. The bodies were described by one witness as “like human but they were not humans. The heads were round, the eyes were small, and they had no hair. Their eyes were widely spaced. They were quite small by our standards and their heads were larger in proportion to their bodies. Their clothing seemed to be one-piece and grey in colour. They seemed to be all males and there were a number of them … Military personnel took over and we were told to leave the area and not to talk to anyone about what we had seen.”

According to a document acquired from an intelligence source in 1984, a highly secret panel, code-named “Majestic 12” or “MJ-12”, was formed by President Truman in 1947 to investigate UFOs and report its findings to the President. The document, dated November 18th, 1952 and classified TOP SECRET/MAJIC/EYES ONLY, was allegedly prepared by Admiral Hillenkoetter for President-elect Dwight Eisenhower, and includes the astonishing statement that the remains of four alien bodies were recovered two miles from the Roswell wreckage site.

Five years after the panel was formed, the committee wrote a memo to then President-elect Eisenhower about the UFO project and the need for secrecy:

Implications for the National Security are of continuing importance, in that motives and ultimate intentions of these visitors remain completely unknown … It is for these reasons, as well as the obvious international technological considerations and the ultimate need to avoid a public panic at all costs, that the Majestic 12 Group remains of the unanimous opinion that imposition of the strictest security precautions should continue without interruption into the new administration.

The official explanation of denial is that the document’s authenticity is questionable.

The National Security Agency is reported to be withholding more than one hundred documents relating to UFOs, the CIA approximately fifty documents, and the DIA six.

Major Donald Keyhoe, a former aide to Charles Lindbergh, publicly accused the US government of denying the existence of UFOs, in order to prevent public panic.

In August 1948, when a top secret “Estimate of the Situation” by the Air Technical Intelligence Centre offered its opinion that UFOs were interplanetary visitors, General Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff at the time, ordered the document burned.

Is there a worldwide government conspiracy to conceal the truth from the public?

In the short space of six years, twenty-three English scientists who worked on Star-Wars-type projects have died under questionable circumstances. All of them had worked on different facets of electronic warfare, which includes UFO research.

A list of the deceased and the dates and circumstances of their deaths follows.
