Dear Olga,
It was great to talk with you again the other morning (even
though th only time I could finally get a circuit between the United
States and Moscow was about 4:30 _AM_ -- when my body kept insisting
it was still "night!"). From the sound of your voice and our brief
conversation, including our exchange last Spring at Peggy Carters',
I know if we lived closer -- at least on the same continent -- we'd
have many things to talk about -- especially now, in view of what is
taking place around the world.
Attached is my "Op-Ed piece" on our Mars Investigation -- and
what I now believe is the "fingerprint" of its dramatic, real-world
impact on the current history taking place before our eyes. I look
forward eagerly to your reaction.
I've thought a lot about what you were trying to describe that
night so many months ago, when you were telling us about the new,
important role for journalism in your country; it reminded me of the
feelings trhat I had, when I got my first major journalistic opportun-
ity "to make a difference." At the somewhat "tender" age of twenty-
three, I was suddenly, "miraculously," invited to join CBS News about
twenty years ago (see attached biographical sketch) -- "to help them
go to the Moon." [The actual invitation was to become a science adv-
isor, during the Apollo lunar missions, to Walter Cronkite (can you
believe?). At the time, Walter was known as "the most trusted man in
America," and indication of the esteem in which he was held, both by
the public and his journalistic colleagues].
The almost indescribable feelings that I had on that remarkable
occasion -- when I realized that my (at the time, _very_ meager!) sci-
ence journalistic skills were actually being sought by an almost legen-
dary world news organization, if not by its very dean of journalism (!),
to contribute even in a tiny way towards an unprecedented moment in the
history of all Humanity, the First Lunar Landing -- I've thought, many
times since our first meeting, must have been very similar to the
feelings you attempted to describe that night in North Carolina, in-
volving your own role these days in Moscow: being witness to -- if not
an active participant in -- History.
If I remember correctly, you said something like "we [journalists]
now feel like soldiers 'on the front lines.' We feel a great, almost
historic responsibility to may 'peristroyka' work!"
Because of the historic "moment" you are now experiencing, Olga
-- participating in the extraordinary rebirth of an entire nation,
literally grappling with the Future (as opposed to "just" reporting it)
-- I believe that you can share some of my own vicarious excitement,
as I watch from half-way around the world, and wonder. . . is it
_possible_ that, behind ALL the extraordinary, revolutionary changes
we are seeing. . . what we have discovered on the Viking photographs
is partially responsible. . . ?!
ANCIENT RUINS LYING ON A NEARBY PLANET, RUINS WHICH WILL CHANGE
THE COURSE OF HISTORY FOR EACH OF US. . . IF THEY AREN'T DOING SO
ALREADY?
When we first discussed the possibility of my writing something
for you regarding our research, I certainly could not have stated these
ideas with such apparent certainty. But, over the course of the summer,
several major breakthroughs have occurred -- on both the scientific
front, and on the "politics of verification." These have remarkably
verified our "intelligence hypothesis," and crystallized my thoughts
-- and the result is the "editorial" you have before you.
The dramatic political developments -- which have included a
_total_reversal_ of "policy" with regard to the "Cydonia artifacts"
by NASA, and in less that 6 months (correspondence attached to this
letter) -- occurred, after 13 years of dismissing the possibility as
"nonsense," almost as rapidly as the revolutionary changes your
government is now undergoing after 70 years, prompting me to ask:
what's really going on here?
In particular, when you and I first met, I had just returned
from Washington (April 19), and a face-to-face meeting with Congress-
man Robert A. Roe, head of the most powerful science committee in the
U.S. Congress. As you can see from the attached correspondence (just
follow the dates), after our meeting Roe asked me for a memo of re-
commendations. . . then he took a long time (over 6 months) doing
"something". . . followed by a sudden flurry of announcements to the
media and various constituents, affirming (directly opposite NASA's
previous "position") that "NASA does plan to take new images of the
'Monuments of Mars'. . ." The very day the article in the WALL STREET
JOURNAL, announcing this development, appeared, was the _same_day_
that Chairman Roe did an interview for radio (I have the tape) in
which he bluntly said, "I've seen the [Viking] pictures. . . and they
[the objects] don't appear natural. It would be stupid _not_ to look!"
This from the Chairman of a major Congressional Committee in
the U.S. Government!
As if this weren't enough, as I said, we also had a major
scientific breakthrough this summer in the Cydonia research: we
believe we've now actually _decoded_ the first part of a _mathematical_
_message_ represented by the exquisite, redundant geometry we had
previously discovered at Cydonia. How do we know? Because the
mathematics _predict_ certain geophysical events, at _specific_
latitudes on other planets in the solar system, and the Sun. . . and
when we look at the geodetic maps of these celestial bodies -- the
phenomena are there!
As I said many times in MONUMENTS: "Science is nothing, if it's
not prediction."
In mid-August we published a technical paper on these dramatic
findings -- including a series of _very_specific_ geophysical pre-
dictions regarding what our Voyager unmanned spacecraft would find at
Neptune (_before_ it got to Neptune!). Because of the short lead-time,
we published electronically in a world-wide computer-information system
called "Compuserv" (the managers of Compuserv have specifically told
me, incidentally, that they will give you _free_access_ from Moscow, if
you want to communicate "live" with our on-going Mars Mission Issues
conversation, where we are actively discussing the major issues that I
raise in my "guest editorial." Or, you can simply access a vast range
of information. We can discuss details of that fascinating possibility
later, if you're interested).
Anyway, two weeks after we had published our "message paper,"
Voyager flew by Neptune. . . and observed _exactly_ what our "Cydonia
equations" had predicted -- based on a set of mathematical geophysical
principles discovered where there should be no
