At an April, 1995 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.

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 non-disclosure 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, DIA, 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, anti-gravity propulsion and other secrets will make Watergate or Irangate appear to be kindergarten exercises."

Astronaut Gordon Cooper meanwhile has been cooperating with Irish film producer Jackie Dunn, who is working with a Canadian film production company to have a major UFO documentary film ready by Fall, 1995. Dr. Steven Greer, Director of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), is reported to be cooperating with Jackie Dunn on this film.

NATO Command Sergeant-Major Robert O.Dean, U.S. Army (Ret.) is working with CSETI's Dr. Steven Greer, in concert with former astronaut Gordon Cooper, other astronauts, another high- ranking military officer, and a General, to plan the release of UFO information to which they are privy. Dr. Greer and Sgt. Major Dean are part of a Starlight Coalition which has been putting together the best evidence of UFO/ET reality. The evidence includes not only military/ intelligence officers who participated in UFO crash-retrievals and autopsies on ET corpses, but also fighter pilots, generals, astronauts and cosmonauts who have witnessed UFOs close-up, as well as UFO metal samples and ET tissue samples.

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 alternate announcements about UFOs and ET-presence/visitation.

A Committee of Congress has privately indicated to several UFO researchers that the Committee is prepared to hold public hearings on the UFO matter, provided a suitable panel of experts with scientific credentials can be assembled. The researchers are working to establish such a panel. (c) 102995
