Would NASA Lie to us?

Is NASA hiding the TRUTH from us? 9Mins

Dear Folk: Here is some information that was sent to me about NASA Interresting little NASA article, thought you'all might be interrested in. J--- F- M-------- I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have internet access. Now it appears that someone sent the commands to the Clementine spacecraft to exhaust all of the fuel on board so it is essentially DIW (Dead in the Water). NASA and DOD claim there was a computer glitch, however under normal circumstances, this could only be commanded from the ground. This apparently is a desperately cheap shot at sabotaging a perfectly working spacecraft so that is cannot perform the rest of the mission Congressmen have insisted on it performing. Apparently, Clementine has found evidence of moon bases and artificial structures on the moon. Has anyone called for an investigation of this act of space sabotage? The following article is by E----- D------- an organizer with the Operation Right To Know (ORTK). ORTK is the group that is sponsoring a demonstration 23 May 1994 at noon at the Pentagon (South Parking) to protest UFO secrecy. She would be happy to dialog with anyone about the article or the demonstration. Article begins: How long can NASA keep the Big Secret? by E------ D-------, Operation Right to Know (202-232-2410) There are indications the space agency NASA is so pregnant with the UFO secret it can hardly contain the secret much longer. It seems people who work at NASA are feeling used and uneasy about having to keep the UFO secret, and that in fact some of these people have decided to let the secret out. For example,a formerNASA director says point blank in the April issue of Int'l UFO Library Magazine that the Mars Observer probe is not dead but is in fact sending pictures back to NASA. Furthermore, says the author Maurice Chatelain, some of these pictures will be published soon "despite the official cover-up." This may tie in with a current rumor that a month ago two people from NASA took information on the cover-up to the BBC in England. The expectation was the BBC would air the information by now, but they haven't. Is this what Chatelain was referring to? In the meantime, the west coast edition of NBC TV news broadcast this remarkable story May 3: the NASA-DOD Clementine mission now leaving the moon has been diverted to Mars instead of going to an asteroid, as previously planned. This information was not broadcast on the east coast. Mars researchers who phoned a video clipping service for copies were first told copies were available and then told they weren't. Next day the New York Times reported that due to "budget cuts," DOD is trying to kill the Clementine mission entirely. For some time now we've been hearing about cliques in the bureaucracy-- groups of people in DOD, NASA, and intelligence who meet unofficially to talk about UFOs. My hunch is some of these cliques have decided to take matters into their own hands, and the astronauts are involved. For example, Gordon Cooper is now reported to have given an interview in which he discusses the back-engineering of ET craft. Richard Hoagland, the dogged pursuer of NASA, is responsible for some of this pressure. Another factor is it looks like NASA is in a struggle with another agency. For example, there were two attempts to sabotage the Mars Observer camera before the Observer left. Astounding! Hoagland brought this story out. Trash was twice dumped inside the camera's lens.* Seems like somebody was screaming a big "No!" to NASA about going to Mars at all, and indeed they might--because it is the fallout from the "failed" Mars Observer mission that has accelerated NASA's loss of control over the Big Secret. If NASA hadn't gone back to Mars last year, the agency could have kept a lid on the controversy over the anomalous landforms on Mars (the Cydonia "face" and associated structures). But once in the air, NASA came under intense pressureto re-photograph the face. Speculation is the unexpectedly strong pressureis why NASA decided to claim the mission was lost. And just before the loss was announced, a new element for NASA to cope with had arisen -- the formidable Stanley McDaniel. Some people think the McDaniel Report on NASA and the Cydonia landforms drove NASA to take its desperate step. A report may not sound like much, but that's only until your read the McDaniel Report. It is a devastating critique of NASA and also exposes Carl Sagan as a disinformation agent. Why haven't Mr. Lichtenstein, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Bigelow, Mr. Andrus, or Mr. Hall funded this high quality academic report for distribution to Congress? If NASA has lied about the loss of the Mars Observer, it is the most audacious act of political deception this century. Whether decisive or not, McDaniel added to the heat on NASA. One NASA spokesman went on TV showing signs of stress, and 10 minutes later NASA announced the Mars Observer was lost. Right away the leaks began. Hoagland, McDaniel, Bob Oechsler, and others received calls saying the announcement was a cover story. Now former NASA Director of Communications Maurice Chatelain has put it into print. Some people who work at NASA are acting strangely. For example, they meet with relative strangers in crowded public places and speak in loud voices about the top secret deception. NASA scientists are accompanying some ET researchers on UFO-watching expeditions and seeing UFOs with them. When the interview with Gordon Cooper comes out in which Cooper talks about back-engineering alien craft, the cover-up will surely be near its end. And the astronauts have been sidling up to this for a while. Three years ago Cooper's 1978 letter to the UN calling UFOs "extraterrestrial vehicles" was published; and in 1991 Edgar Mitchell talked about government extraterrestrial secrets on Oprah Winfrey. Now comes Maurice Chatelain. His article details 9 separate occasions when UFOs observed, stalked, or assaulted US spacecraft, including the exact date, names of the astronauts on the mission and what occurred. We have recently learned that the Ringling Bros extravaganza "Cosmic Journey" has been revived. Astronauts were involved in original concept, in the story brought out by Bob Oechsler and Tim Good. The concept was a public exhibition of US space technology--and UFOs/ET. The project was cancelled. But about a month ago, a Cosmic Journey staff member bought $150 worth of UFO books at a Washington DC bookstore. One researcher made inquiries and reached a Ringling Bros contractor, Ed Buckbee of Huntsville, Alabama. Buckbee said that Cosmic Journey "will not get into the UFO issue until later." And according to Reuters Dec. 1, 1993, one of the current astronauts says he is "trying to communicate with the life out there." Astronaut Storey Musgrave, member of the Hubble repair mission, told a reporter: "When I'm circling I try in whatever ways I can to get them to come down and get me." Mr. Musgrave sounds like an "experiencer," doesn't he? Richard Hoagland says some Congresspeople were about to get together recently for a conference on Mars, but NASA exerted "tremendous pressure" to get the conference cancelled. Stan McDaniel, who was also involved, says, "We were told government people would be there, and then they disappeared." McDaniel could not confirm Hoagland's claim that threats were made against members of Congress. Hoagland says that people who are talking to him have been offered jobs to shut them up. "Come and work with us on the 'dark side'," Hoagland says they were told. Instead of Mars, Hoagland now is focussed on the moon. There are artificial structures on the moon, he claims, and so does Maurice Chatelain. In his article, Chatelain casually drops the bombshell that the Apollo mission found "several mysterious geometric structures of unnatural origin" on the moon. And in fact some sort of startling new picture book has just been published: Extraterrestrial Archaeology, by David Childress.** Chatelain says he's going to reveal what happened to the astronauts on the moon in a forthcoming article. According to UFO researcher Bill Hamilton, x-space programer Brian O'Leary says the Air Force has "its own secret space program and its own military astronauts." Hamilton's 1991 book, Cosmic Top Secret, reports on an amazing newspaper article: August 7, 1989 the LA Herald-Examiner ran a story which stated DOD was dismantling a secret $5 billion coast-to-coast space complex and would now begin collaborating with NASA's civilian space shuttle. The article stated that a secret cadre of 32 military astronauts based in LA was disbanded in 1988. If this story is true, it sounds like DOD moved a major clandestine operation into NASA in 1988-89, and that may be the key to what is happening now at NASA. Whoever in NASA put the two Viking pictures of the face on Mars into the open record 17 years ago is an unsung patriot. From what I've heard, however, not all the interesting pictures were put out. Hear's what Mars researchers Vince DiPietro and John Brandenburg told me happened a few years ago. A graduate student at the Univ. of Louisiana phoned DiPietro excitedly several times and described a numbered NASA Viking photo of Mars on display in the department. The Martian surface photo showed a group of 6 faces. Each looked just like the Cydonia face. When DiPietro tried to get the photo, a professor told him it was "lost." Another thing that's happening is that UFO researchers are beginning to realize that the network of surveillance satellites the U.S. had in orbit is fully capable of tracking UFOs and therefore, researchers are realizing, NASA must be tracking UFOs. This introduces a new dimension into the cover-up. It means much of the data coming into NASA has ET information, and this has to be scrubbed out. Data from the space probes and the Shuttle missions, as well as the vast intelligence product that pours in from the surveillance satellites--including the orbiting telescopes, the commercial and environmental satellites--has ET evidence that NASA has to get rid of before the data can be released to anyone. There has to be a gate keeper first in line for all incoming data who captures and reroutes ET evidence into black channels. And this is just what we saw in the form of Michael Malin, whom NASA put in charge of all Mars Observer photos and said he could keep them for 6 months before release. An example of scrubbing is related by Maryland resident Don Ratsch from Houston researcher Don Madeley. They say a female NASA employee was shown how NASA technicians air brush images of UFOs which show up on NASA's pictures of earth. Don Ratsch was the one who recorded the apparent voice of a shuttle astronaut from space saying, "We have the alien spacecraft under observation"- -but the authenticity could not be proved. Ratsch went on to record the STS-48 tape from NASA TV Sept. 1991. The tape shows inexplicable moving lights in the upper atmosphere, one of which appears to be shooting at the other. Adding to that, Linda Howe says a military officer told her he's hearing reports of "some kind of war in space." Could it be? Naw. Still, the leaks are everywhere. Even Rush Limbaugh. He told his radio audience in late 1992 that a trusted friend in NASA said the Hubble telescope was never broken, but was being used to study ET in some way. In the meantime, I personally learned of a fellow at McDonnell-Douglas who also said the Hubble was operating in the black. This fellow reported he was doing interface programs that enabled innocuous-sounding instructions from the ground to translateinto different, secret directives to the telescope. He said the output was not broadcast to the ground, but was downloaded by hand on Shuttle missions. So who's squeezing NASA the hardest? The CIA? Hoagland and McDaniel? The aliens? A friend of mine called NASA recently and cajoled a press officer into a confidential conversation. According to my friend, the press officer said, "NASA is very fragmented and many people in NASA want the truth." And then added, "NASA is no longer running itself. A major intelligence group is now running NASA." So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Your tax dollars at work! Let's hazard a theory. In 1988 DOD moved clandestine space operations into NASA, and since then DOD or some "major intelligence group" has been trying to run NASA. As a result, NASA is now in a power struggle with this other group. The two groups violently disagreed on how to run the Mars Observer and the Clementine missions, and evidence of this conflict broke into the open. In the ranks at NASA, there are several sources of discontent. People who want to run a civilian space program, not an intelligence operation. People who are angry at being shut out of the Big Secret but who still have to tell lies to the public. And people who are worried they could be indicted and go to jail for their roles in maintaining the Big Secret. Even though the ruling groups disagree, they are still determined to maintain their hold on the Big Secret. But the ranks at NASA are breaking and the ruling groups are losing control over the ranks. It's about time! ______________________ * Quarterly Journal of the Mars Mission, Winter 1994, 122 Dodd St, Weehawken, NJ 07087. ** Extraterrestrial Archaeology by David Childress, $21.00, Adventures Unlimited Press, Publishers Network, Box 74, 303 Main St, Kempton, Ill. 60946. ------- End of Forwarded Message JW Well now what do you think of that, sports fans.

"I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here on this planet Earth. It happened a few months ago in Florida. There I saw with myown eyes a defined area of ground being consumed by flames, with four indentations left by a flying object which had descended in the middle of a field. Beings had left the craft (there were other traces to prove this). They seemed to have studied topography, they had collected soil samples and, eventually, they returned to where they had come from, disappearing at enormous speed... I happen to know that authority did just about everything to keep this incident from the press and TV, in fear of a panicky reaction from the public."

Feeling Happy

It is strange that only this week in a national paper there has not only been an article about the Rendlesham incident but also another local paper reports a ufo sighting in Chudleigh Knighton which is about twelve miles from here in Ashburton. The latest shape being like a boomerang and the size of two houses.

The image was produced by Mat and Zo from Kamloops, British Columbia in Canada for a documentary about the Rendlesham incident! Thank you very much. They also have their own site Ancient Eyes a link is on the left.

The following article is by Nick Pope http://www.nickpope.net/index.html                     (Former British Government UFO Project Leader) and appeared in a national newspaper on 19th November 2005

On May 21, 1997 a former Prime Minister made an enigmatic comment that seemed to confirm the reality of Britain's most famous ufo incident. The remark hinted at darker secrets and led to much debate among conspiracy theorists. The politician was Baroness Thatcher and the implications of what she said are extraordinary. The comment was made at a charity function. London - based socialite and author Georgina Bruni had been researching the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, fascinated by hints dropped by diplomatic, military and political friends. Sceptical about the subject of UFO's, she thought it was awash with cultists and crackpots.

But Rendlesham  was different so, when she met Baroness Thatcher at a dinner, Bruni put the former PM on the spot. Was there any truth to the rumours about what happened in Suffolk's Rendlesham Forest? What did the Government really know about UFO's? Was it a serious issue or just pie in the sky? Bruni was expecting a bland dismissal of the story. The official Ministry of Defence position was that no evidence existed to suggest UFO's were extraterrestrial in origin. Then the former PM dropped her bombshell."UFO's?" she said. "You can't tell the people." Bruni was astounded and pressed her point. What did she mean? Baroness Thatcher calmly repeated her remark, beforedeparting. From 1991 to 1994, I ran the Government's UFO Project, based at the Ministry of Defence, and Bruni had interviewed me in the course of her research. Still astonished, she called me at 2am to tell me what had happened. I quickly grasped its significance. I went to my study and began to make notes, all the time quizzing Georgina about everynuance of her brief encounter with the former PM. If you take the thousands of UFO sightings investigatedbythe MoD over the years, the Rendlesham Forest incident stood out. We could not ignore it, despite our best efforts to find some conventional explanation. This case was the Holy Grail and Baroness Thatcher's remark put the events into a new light.

So what actually happened at Rendlesham Forest and what makes the event the UK's strangest UFO encounter? As we approach its 25th anniversary, it's time to re-open the MoD's spookiest X-file. Late on Christmas night, 1980, and early on Boxing day, strange lights were seen in the forest. This might not sound particularly significant. When I was running the UFO Project I used to receive up to 300 reports of sightings each year. Most could be explained as misidentifications of aircraft lights, meteors or weather ballons. What made this sighting remarkable was the fact that the witnesses were United States Air Force personnel based at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk. Rendlesham Forest lies between the bases and as the Cold War was still decidedlyfrosty, a UFO sighting at two of nations most sensitive military sites was bound to be of interest. Early on December 26th, duty personnel reported lights so bright they feared an aircraft had crashed. They obtained permission to go off-base to investigate. But they didn't find a crashed aircraft - they found a UFO. The three man patrol from the 81st Security Police Squadron - Jim Penniston, John Burroughs and Ed Cabansag - saw a small, metallic craft moving through the trees. At one point, it appeared to land in a small clearing. They approached cautiously and Penniston got close enough to see strange markings on the side, which he likened to Egyptian hieroglyphs. He made some rapid sketches in his notebook.It touched down for only moments and then departed. Later, because of the complicated legal and jurisdictional position of US Air Force bases in the UK, police from Suffolk Constabulary were called to the apparent landing site. They conducted a brief but inconclusive examination. Three indentations were visible in the clearing and, when mapped, theyformed the shape of an equilateral triangle. A gieger counter was used to check the site and the readings peaked markedly in the depressions where the object - possibly on legs of some sort - had cometo Earth. News of the UFO encounter came to the attention of the Deputy Base Commander,Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt. He was sceptical, but had witnesses write up official reports, including sketches of what they had seen. The following evening, Halt was at a function when a young airman burst in and ran up to him. "Sir," he stammered, "it's back." Halt looked confused. "What?" he retorted. "What's back?" "The UFO, sir - the UFO's back." Halt gathered together a small team and went out into the forest to investigate. He subsequently stated that he had no expectation of seeing anything and that his intention was to "debunk" the whole affair. But he didn't do so because he too encountered the UFO, becoming one of the highest ranking military officers to go on record about such a sighting. As he and his men tracked the UFO, their radios began to malfunction and powerful lamps taken to illuminate the forest mysteriously began to cut out. But a hand-held tape recorder the colonel took to document his investigation did not malfunction.

The tape recording still survives and one can hear the rising tension in Halt's voice and in the voices of his men, as the UFO approaches...(Click the link on the right to hear Halt's recording)......."I see it too...it's back again...it's coming this way...there's no doubt about it...this is weird...it looks like an eye winking at you...it almost burns your eyes...he's coming toward us now...now we're observing what appears to be a beam coming down to the ground... one object still hovering over Woodbridge base...beaming down." At one point the tension in their voices almost seems to become panic as the UFO makes a close approach and fires light beams down on Halt and his men. Halt wrote an official report of the incident. Although somewhat innocuously entitled Unexplained Lights, it described the first night's UFO as being "metallic in appearance and triangular in shape....a pulsing red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath...the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy". He went on to detail the radiation readings taken from the landing site and set out the details of his own sighting. The report was sent to the section of the Ministry of Defence where, a little over ten yearslater, I spent three years researching and investigating UFO sightings. It went to my predecessors, who began an investigation, but they were hampered by a mistake that was to have dire consequences.For whatever reason - and it may have been nothing more than a typographical error - Charles Halt's report gave incorrect dates for the incident. So when the MoD checked the radar tapes, they were looking at the wrong days. Radar evidenceis a critical part of any UFO investigation. Many spectacular UFO sightings over the years have been correlated by radar. MoD files detail several such cases, including ones where RAF pilots encountered UFO's and gave chase. Unsuccessfully, I might add. In the absence of any radar data that might confirm the presnce of the Rendlesham Forest UFOs, the investigation petered out. Yet, as I was to discover years later, the UFO had been tracked after all. I spoke to a former RAF radar operator called Nigel Kerr. He had been stationed at RAF Watton in Norfolk at Christmas 1980 and took a call from RAF Bentwaters asking if there was anything unusual on his radar screen. For three or four sweeps something did show up directly over the base, but it faded away and no official report was ever made. It was only years later that Kerr heard of the Rendlesham Forest incident and realised he might have the missing piece of the puzzle. In apparent absence of radar data to verify the presence of the UFO, arguably the most critical piece of evidence was never followed up. The defence Intelligence Staff had assessed the radiation readings taken at the landing site and judged them "significantly higher than the average background". In fact, they were about seven times what would have been expected. So what are we to make of all this? UFO beleivers are convinced the sightings involved an extraterrestrial spacecraft. They still hold sky watches in the forest and claim to see UFOs regularly. The sceptical theories are almost as bizarre, with suggestions that the highly trained military witnesses actually saw the lights of a police car, or the beam from the local lighthouse. "Lighthouses don't fly," Charles Halt said, incredulously. More rational sceptical theories include the testing of a prototype aircraft, but the bottom line is that, while there are things being developed you won't see at the Farnborough Air Show for10 or 15 years, we know where we fly are own hardware. The "black projects" theory doesn't hold up.

Col Halt's evidence was obtained by American UFO researchers in 1983, under the Freedom ofInformation Act. But it was not until 2001 that the rest of the file came to light, including mostof the details we now know. Georgina Bruni had requested several documents on the incident under the Code of Practice on access to Government Information - the forerunner to Britain's Freedom of Information Act. She had also enlisted the help of former Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Hill-Norton - himself a firm believer in UFOs. Despite the claims of conspiracy theorists, the MoD is committed to open government and was happy to release the file. It can now be viewed in entirety on the MoD website. The MoD and the National Archives are bombarded with requests about UFOs but have a rolling programme of disclosure. These are the real X-files and they are being released. As the 25th anniversary of this UFO encounter appraoches, there is great interest in the incident. Enthusiasts are planning an anniversary vigil. The Forestry Commission - which has created a UFO trail in the forest - is planning an event. Several television documentaries are being made and there's talk of a Hollywood movie. But despite the wealth of documentation to have emerged and the testimony of the witnesses themselves, we are no nearer to knowing what happened in Rendlesham Forest.

The truth is still out there somewhere! Below is the download of Halt's recording courtesy of crowded skies.com
