The filter that has been installed will block any and all information that would open the door to finding out the truth about many subjects that are considered taboo or even allegedly classified.
Since the media tends to tell you the truth is out there, they certainly aren’t in the business of telling you that some truths that were once elusive about fringe subjects have now been revealed and much of what has been declassified really has not been seen or heard by the typical individual.
For example, there are still books and television shows that will tell you that the Air Force base in Nevada called Area 51 is still mysterious and that the government still keeps it a secret. That is only half true, While much of what goes on there is still classified, there has been a great deal of what has happened there that has been declassified along with other major operations and files on the military and their relationship with UFO’s
The government has finally declassified the OXCART program at Area 51. Operation Oxcart was a secret operation to develop a supersonic jet that could reach speeds of Mach 3. This was eventually known as the SR-71 blackbird project. Those who play in the world of conspiracy theory already had reported this for many years. The novelty here is that the mainstream media has given the impression that this was the only program that Area 51 was involved in and that anything else “speculative” about reversed alien technology can be put to rest. New ideas are now emerging about what cover stories, and disinformation about UFO’s and aliens to cover up covert testing of special craft that were used for our protection in the paranoid era of the Cold War.
What we are getting are table scraps from a project that was well known for years. Not that the scraps are not satisfying, they just create an even bigger appetite for more information, we get the bones and wait for raw meat. Area 51 is a huge onion with layer upon layer that will be revealed when it is necessary. OXCART is finally becoming an official program and the details are being well controlled and all other speculation or books released before the official declassification can all be discounted now right?
Not quite.
The term UFO–or unidentified flying object–refers to a suspected alien spacecraft, although its definition encompasses any unexplained aerial phenomena. UFO sightings have been reported throughout recorded history and in various parts of the world, raising questions about life on other planets and whether extraterrestrials have visited Earth. They became a major subject of interest–and the inspiration behind numerous films and books–following the development of rocketry after World War II.
From the sightings of Kenneth Arnold in the Northwestern United States until now, we have to assume that Ufology has grown up. Colleges are beginning to accept UFO existence, but they will not go out on a limb and state that extra terrestrials are piloting these craft. There is still that small percentage that might lend itself to the outrageous. But we should not let that get in the way of a true investigation.
Again it is unfortunate that the mainstream media networks in the United States haven’t a clue when it comes to reporting mysterious anomalies. The minute that someone suggests extra-terrestrial connections or even the axiom UFO they want to make fun at it. It is as if they are above reporting something like this.
It is interesting to note that in the 1960’s and 1970’s stories such as these would be of profound interest. Unfortunately, the Media will find ways to twist a UFO story. They would come to the conclusion themselves that when a person uses the word UFO that they are meaning, a craft with little grey or green men inside.
New ufologists know that this is not the case. It is the old misconceptions that hurt a serious investigation. It is the holding on to old myths that jeopardize true science and analysis. Some will find a hidden meaning in the simplest explanations. To toy with a Freud quote “Sometimes a cigar shaped craft from another world is not necessarily a cigar shaped craft from another world.”
In 1945 the war in Europe was drawing to a close. It was during that period that many strange and interesting things were transpiring. Bomber crews were starting to notice glowing orbs near their planes as they flew over the German air space. The strange balls of light were displaying incredible acrobatic maneuvers and would fly at incredible speeds around the propeller driven aircraft. Some of these orbs were clocked at 17,000 to 2000 miles per hour. This was unheard of during this time.
Many of the allies determined that these orbs had hostile intent. Some planes were often forced into a dive to avoid collisions with these unknown craft. These orbs were called Foo Fighters long before the word UFO crept into the lexicon and was associated (according to the popular media) with “lone nuts” who see things in the skies, and chase weather balloons and “swamp gas.”
It is a part of history that has yet to be tainted by so called “skeptics” who by name should sit on the fence and analyze yet find it good sport to try and “debunk” and make light of the documented evidence that substantiates this aerial phenomenon.
When the war ended there were questions raised as to the origin of these strange balls of light. Germany claimed that they had nothing to do with the strange lights and theorized that perhaps they were a “top secret” weapon being used by allied forces to outpace their new jet propulsion technology that was being developed.
In 1946 there seemed to be an excitement over Germany and Scandinavia regarding the sighting of fiery rockets in the sky. The Allies feared that a resurgent fanatical group of Nazis were developing rocket technologies to start another war. It was theorized that these strange new rockets were being test fired from underground bases.
People feared that they were new weapons of mass destruction and saw them moving in erratic ways shooting up into space and then coming down in fiery balls of light. Some people journeyed into the areas where they thought the “rockets” had landed thinking that perhaps there would be scorched land or even a small fire.
There was no fire to be seen. Before there were UFO’s there were craft of unknown origin and they were very real. They may have even been thought of as alien to the witnesses who had never seen such aircraft before. The fascination and magic of such craft wound up in dime store comic books and science fiction magazines.
On June 24th 1947 the word flying saucer was coined by journalists who were reporting an odd story about Kenneth Arnold who while flying his plane over Washington spotted a boomerang shaped craft that seemed to skip across the air as a “saucer would skip across water.” These unknown craft were mirror bright and traveled at fast speeds, faster than any jet that would eventually show up in the skies many years later.
The “flying saucers” had arrived only because the media said so. For many years the balls of light and the strange aircraft had been seen and many theories as to what they were crept into the pulp novels of the day.
The Flying Saucer was most definitely a media creation; a marketing label developed to sell newspapers. It would become a word that not only was used to support the believers and the witnesses but it also was used in a derisive manner.
Meanwhile the sensationalists would toil with outrageous speculation about what may be behind the UFO mystery, the Military at the time was fully aware that by World War II’s end there were ex-Nazi scientists and officers that were being pipelined into intelligence positions and supervising the new aerospace programs.
Many of these scientists were part of the SS E-IV, a development unit of the SS occult “Order of the Black Sun.” Under Hitler they were tasked with researching alternative energies to make the Third Reich independent of scarce fuel oil for war production. Their work included developing alternative energies and fuel sources through coal gasification, research into grain alcohol fuels, less complicated coal burning engines for vehicles and generators, as well as highly advanced liquid oxygen turbines, total reaction turbines, AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) motors and even EMG (Electro-Magnetic-Gravitic) engines.
The result of their research led them to create the Wnderwaffen or Wonder weapons, many of those wonder weapons included what we now know is the so called “flying saucer.”
The term “flying saucer” has evolved in the communal mythology to be UFO, a term that originally meant Unidentified Flying Object. But now it seems to be stuck as a marketing label on everything mysterious which includes, the Chupacabra, crop circles, mutilated cattle, Men in Black, government conspiracies, alien abductions, genetic manipulation, and everything else that seems to have no definitive answer.
In 1947, just two years after world war two, Saucer hysteria began after it was reported that the Saucers were seen in the Northwest. In July of 1947 there was a crash incident reported near Roswell New Mexico. Since that time American UFO history began, and the idea that our high tech inventions was reversed engineered from what was called an alien space ship.
Unfortunately, the Roswell incident has become a fact that has snowballed into an extraordinary myth. For example, the main stream press will point out that Roswell is the only event that kooky UFO followers treat as something equivalent to the “Alien nativity”. Many will completely overlook the events that set the stage for Roswell and the fact that Roswell was only “big news” 30 years after the alleged event.
Also there has been a blind eye given to a declassified report of Operation Mainbrace a group of NATO maneuvers held in September 1952. These maneuvers were declassified and much of what happened remains a mystery. Those who participated reported that there was a possible base where “saucers” were seen. This base was reported to be in the vicinity of Denmark and Norway.
The maneuvers commenced September 13th and lasted twelve days. According to the U. S. Navy, “units of eight NATO governments and New Zealand participated, including 80,000 men, 1,000 planes, and 200 ships. Directed by British Admiral Sir Patrick Brind, “it was the largest NATO maneuver held up until that time.”
On September 13th, The Danish destroyer Willemoes, participating in the maneuvers, was north of Bornholm Island. During the night, Lieutenant Commander Schmidt Jensen and several members of the crew saw an unidentified object, triangular in shape, which moved at high speed toward the southeast. The object emitted a bluish glow. Commander Jensen estimated the speed at over 900 mph.
Within the next week, there were four important sightings by well-qualified observers. (Various sources differ by a day or two on the exact dates, but agree on details. There is no question about the authenticity of the sightings; the British cases were officially reported by the Air Ministry, the others are confirmed by reliable witnesses. All occurred on or about September 20).
On September 19th A British Meteor jet aircraft was returning to the airfield at Topcliffe, Yorkshire, England, just before 11 A. M. As it approached for landing, a silvery object was observed following it, swaying back and forth like a pendulum. Lieutenant John W. Kilburn and other observers on the ground said that when the Meteor began circling, the UFO stopped.
It was disc-shaped, and rotated on its axis while hovering. The disk suddenly took off westward at high speed, changed course, and disappeared to the southeast.
About September 20–Personnel of the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier participating in the Mainbrace maneuvers, observed a silvery, spherical object which was also photographed. The pictures have never been made public. The UFO was seen moving across the sky behind the fleet. Reporter Wallace Litwin took a series of color photographs, which were examined by Navy Intelligence officers.
These pictures were not made public but recently a series of very clear photos have been released recently reportedly taken in 1971 by personnel on the Submarine U.S.S Trepang.
The large UFO’s were reported to be flying in the same area that Mainbrace reported was a hotbed of saucer activity. The images are believed to have been taken in March, 1971, from USS Trepang SSN 674 submarine, during a voyage from Iceland to Jan Mayen Island in Norway.
However, some experts believe that the photos only give evidence that the U.S. military was secretly testing aircraft in the region. Some commenters have pointed out that the supposed cigar-shaped UFO looks remarkably like the Aereon 26, an experimental aircraft that was being tested in the early 1970s.
But others dispute the claim.
U.S. Navy records confirm that USS Trepang was, indeed, in the Arctic region near Denmark at the time, and that Rear Admiral Dean Reynolds Sackett, Jr., a native of Beatrice, Nebraska, commanded the ship from August, 1970, to December, 1973. The photos were classified “Top Secret” at the time they were taken.
Perhaps these photos are a smoking gun that either alien saucers or manmade Nazi like saucers were still being flown in remote areas of the world.
Of course these pictures will generate about 3 or 4 ridiculous explanations and an uninformed media that still cynically debunks anyone who doesn’t buy into their weather balloons of the Gods theories will give it a homogenized once over.
Not to mention the smug buffoonery that seems to ooze from every newscaster that thinks a simple roll of UFO footage backed by the worn out ‘X-Files’ theme is going to give them any credibility.
Let the flame wars and the arguments begin, because it seems that military history has its fair share of great stories to tell and to eventually declassify.
Many of them are quite compelling.
