Abduction Experience Classification
By : Dr. Richard D. Butler
The following is a brief description of the most commonly
reported abduction experience types.
It is intended to provide a standard of classification in
abduction research.
[AE-1] LUCID DREAM
This is a lucid dream experience generated internally by the
subjects subconscious. There is no Human/ET (Extra-Terrestrial)
interaction at any level. They are usually grandiose in nature and
lack a logical progression.
[AE-2] TECHNO/TELEPATHIC LUCID DREAM
These are lucid dream experiences internally generated by
external forces. It is ET in origin and accomplished by
technologically enhanced psychic intrusion of the subjects
subconscious. The subject reports the disassociation or
collapse of a normal dream and the insertion of a scenario or
message which enhances certain ideals or beliefs. If the
subject awakens immediately after they report a circle of
glowing whitish colored energy on the ceiling, approx.. 2-3 ft.
in diameter. A shaft of the same energy is slowly retracting
back into the circle. This shaft is approx.. 3-6in. diameter
and 2.5-4ft. long.
[AE-3] PSY/BIO ENERGY FIELD EXTRACTION
This experience involves the extraction of a conscious energy
field from the subjects body. It should not be confused with
naturally occurring OBEE phenomena as separation is externally
induced. The technology employs the use of a white or
bluish-white colored extraction beam. Subjects describe a
feeling of deep penetration of this beam throughout their body,
followed by the sensation of an irresistible or attractive
force. The extracted field maintains cohesion and is capable of
perceiving stimuli at a greatly enhanced level. Perceptions
include 360 degree sight and sensory feedback at the molecular
and even atomic level. Experiences seem to focus around
communications and reinsertion of the bio-field into a humanoid
body other than the original. It is this type of abduction that
accounts for the severe missing time memory failure in some cases.
Since the subjects brain is not physically present the memories
are not hard written. There does appear to be a shadow memory
effect that can retain the memories of the events in some type
of energy memory matrix within the subjects bio-field. Full
understanding of this process could lead to breakthroughs in
education and learning technologies.
[AE-4] PHYSICAL ABDUCTION
This is the physical removal of a subject from their environment
to an ET environment. The subject is first tranquilized to
reduce possible injury to either side. These abductions follow a
very strict military like protocol. Subjects are transported via
a small shuttle, lifting beam or direct transfer. Direct
transfer utilizes a hyper-dimensional tunnel. It will appear as
a large brilliant white energy gate. The subject steps through
the gate and is instantly aboard the craft. Also reported is the
nullification of the nuclear repulsive forces in solid objects.
This allows the subject to physically pass through solid objects.
Once onboard the person is subjected to various physical tests
and procedures. The main thrust is in the genetic
experimentation area. Reports of sperm and ovum extraction are
quite common. After these procedures are performed the subject
is returned to their original location unharmed. A screen memory
is then inserted into the subjects subconscious. This slightly
shifts the reality recalled by the abductee but never erases the
event entirely. This distinguishes them from [AE-3].
[AE-5] PAST LIFE RECALL
These experiences are the least reported and the most interesting
in terms of their implications. They appear to represent events
in the experience of an ET life form. Subjects relate being in
an underground military facility, sometimes on Mars, the Moon and
even under the Earth's oceans. Memories of being onboard a
spacecraft and other ET environments are also recalled. What is
so interesting is that the subject views this not from an Earth
human perspective but from that of an ET. This suggests two very
interesting possibilities. A.) During telepathic communication
some memories are subconsciously transferred. B.) The subject is
recalling actual past life memories of thier own. This second
possibility opens the door to much speculation. It suggests that
part of the abduction phenomena may be a massive and covert
reconnaissance operation. It may also explain why the Greys have
said they have the right to do what they do. If abductees are
souls that have been transferred from the ET environment to
Earth, then technically they are not abducting human beings but
volunteer ETs.
CLASSIFICATION OF OBSERVED UFO OCCUPANTS
by Richard Butler
[GROUP A] NON-EARTH BORN HOMO SAPIENS
This group consists of three being types from three distinct
colony zones, namely Sirius, Pleiades and Orion, the Zeta
Reticuli Star System. Genetically, they are nearly identical to
Terran humans with the following exceptions. Abductees refer to
these beings as the -talls.+ Males average up to approximately
seven feet in height; females, six and a half feet. They are
extremely fine featured, pale in complexion. Eyes are almond
shaped, slightly slanted with a natural black liner, much like
Egyptians. There are three hair colors apparently related to
colony origin: blonde (Pleiades), red (Orion), and black (Sirius).
The insignia of these combined human races is a triangular
arrangement of three spheres. This symbol has deep significance,
and is found throughout Terran history. History records these
beings as goddesses, gods, devas, etc. A subgroup of Group A
females is in command of most Terran projects.
[GROUP B] EARTH BORN HUMANS
These are Homo Sapiens whose origin is the planet Earth. They
can be divided into two separate classes.
[Class A] (Ancient)-These humans were the companions and house
servants of a Group A military mining and occupation force. When
this force left the Earth sometime between 1,000 B.C. and 3,500
B.C., it was decided to remove all humans that had been in close
proximity with them. It was felt that leaving them would only
further disrupt normal human development. Class A humans are on
an equal level with Group A and cooperate fully in all Earth
projects.
[Class M] (Modern)-These humans are working on the same
cooperative level as Class A. They were taken from the Earth in
modern times. During some abduction projects, twins (either
identical or fraternal) are induced in a female subject. During
the first trimester, one of the fetuses is removed. It is then
grown to maturity by Group A. Abductees will meet their twins
during some abductions. Very limited contact has been made by
these humans.
[GROUP C] GENETICALLY MODIFIED EARTH BORN HUMANS
These humans are comprised of two classes and should not be
confused with Group D Greys.
[Class W] (Workers)-This class is the smallest in physical
stature. They are described as approximately three and a half
feet in height, large head and eyes, pale white in complexion.
these workers were created by Group A through genetic
modification of Terran human fetuses. Their function is to
perform menial tasks requiring limited reasoning abilities. In
mental capacity, they are equivalent to a five year old child.
They are incapable of violence and, in some cases, are kept as
companions by Group A individuals.
[Class T] (Technicians)-These humans are basically the same as
Class W. They are slightly larger, at approximately four and a
half feet in height. Their complexion is tan or yellowish.
Their reasoning and deductive powers are higher. This allows them
to perform more complex operations. They are often seen operating
ship controls and in transport activities. Both Classes W and T
are telepathically camouflaged to appear as Greys to abductees.
This is done to conceal the true nature of Group C. It is felt
that perception of Group A maintaining a human slave population
would hinder future contact efforts. This point will undoubtedly
be a source of much heated debate in the near future.
[GROUP D] GREYS
Of the six groups discussed in this paper, the Greys appear to
represent the only non-human contingent. The following data
should be considered tentative at best. Height is approximately
five and a half feet. The head is large; eyes large, black and
very slanted. Skin color is dark grey and non-porous. All data
so far indicates that they may be a cetacean-based life form. On
Earth, this comprises the species of whales and dolphins.
Descriptions of Greys+ skin color and texture closely match that
of dolphins. The stare and stun effects approximate that
performed by dolphins on potential enemies, such as sharks and
barracuda.
Human and dolphin fetuses are nearly identical, up to a certain
development stage. Some say they share a common genetic ancestor.
If so, then this makes the hybridization of human and dolphins
theoretically feasible. There are two possibilities concerning
the origin of the Greys.
The first is that a cetacean life form evolved on another
planet. Unlike Terran cetaceans, they did not return to the
oceans.
The second possibility involves the genetic modification
of Terran cetaceans by Group A. When Group A created workers in
ancient times, they may have used the two most evolved species
available. These would have been pre-humans and dolphins. There
is evidence for this in ancient writing, sculptures and paintings.
They show a close relationship between the gods (Group A) and
dolphins. In South America, there are ruins which appear to have
been massive water enclosures. These were the breeding pens of
the Greys.
[GROUP E] HUMAN/GREY HYBRIDS
One of the main ET projects, now in the completion stage, is the
hybrid program. The goal of this project is to produce a being
combining the best physical and mental qualities of both races.
The following description is of a hybrid female, approximately
fifteen years old. Height is five feet, three inches; skin color
is pale white/grey. The head is slightly larger and rounder than
normal. Hair is dark, high above the forehead, and worn in a
very long ponytail. The face is very fine-featured, and
attractive. Like all the beings discussed in this paper, her
main method of communication is telepathic. This has allowed a
deeper understanding of her intellectual and emotional make-up.
They consider themselves human, not Grey, in almost all respects.
They care about the Greys, as any child would a parent, but find
them agonizingly boring. The desire for human contact is greater
than all others. Their capacity for emotion is as great, if not
greater than, humans. Any physical attribute more human than Grey
is a great source of pride. Their intellectual capacity is well
above human standards. It is very likely they will exceed the
capabilities of both races.
[GROUP F] SASQUATCH
These have been seen both near, and on-board, UFOs. Little is
known about them. Some have speculated that they are the
original pre-human species from which Homo Sapiens were derived
End.
The Dolphins of Heaven
The classification and identification of observed alien beings is
one of the greatest challenges facing us today. We know that indeed
there are intelligently guided extraterrestrial craft operating in
our atmosphere. In a previously published article, (Classifications
of observed UFO occupants) it was shown that there are only two main
species of ufo occupants. These are A) Homo Sapiens, and B)Cetaceans.
The first group is comprised of seven human subgroups, both of
terrestrial, and non-terrestrial origins. The latter group of
cetaceans, known as the "Grays" represent the only non-human
element, and are the topic of this report. The information from
which these conclusions have been drawn, was obtained from the
following sources. Personal investigation of over two dozen
abduction cases. In depth interviews with over fifty alleged
abductees. General interviews with over seventy five abductees.
A intensive study of ancient mythological and historical data.
Study of modern day cetacean research data. The main objective
was to compare the observances of modern day abductees against
those recorded in ancient history. If the phenomena was genuine,
and long-term, then correlation's between the two should be
found, and indeed they were. The following is a brief summary of
those beings who were identified. The main or lead group of
alien beings are advanced humans of non-terrestrial origins. They
are in all respects nearly identical to Earth born Homo Sapiens.
They are from three distinct colony zones, Sirius, Orion, Pleiades.
They came to the Earth sometime before 50,000 BC. for mining and
colonization purposes. Note: an excellent source of information
are the Earth Chronicles, by Sachariah Sitchin. These advanced
humans modified an existing, Earth born, pre-human by merging
their genes with it. The resultant hybrid is what we now call
modern man, us. The remaining subgroups of humans observed
onboard UFO's are all Earth born humans who were taken from the
Earth both in ancient and modern times. All of these human
beings can be found in our historical literature, described in
various ways. In very ancient times they were called Gods.
Some of the later names are, angels, divas, fairies, elves,
demons, incubus and succubus, etc.
It is interesting to note that as mankind developed these beings
have continued to be involved in one way or the other in human
affairs. In modern times we no longer refer to these beings in
spiritual terms. We call them ET's or aliens and have become
aware of both their physical nature, and high state of
technological advancement. Whether our various social and
religious organizations can survive the growing pains of finally
leaving our state of intellectual pre puberty, has yet to be
seen. Now let us examine the only non-human UFO contingent, the
Grays. Based on our eyewitness testimony the following physical
profile can be deduced. Height is 5 ft. 5 in., overall shape is
humanoid. Skin coloration is dark gray and non porous. The head
is proportionally large and triangular shaped in the vertical
plane. The back skull area is large and rounded. The eyes are
large and slanted upwards toward the back. Grays are often
mistaken for two human subgroups, known as workers and
technicians. These are smaller and as stated are of human
decent. Based on all the evidence that has thus far been seen,
the following hypothesis is made. The Grays are descended from
cetaceans. What are cetaceans? On Earth they comprise the
species we call whales and dolphins. We have already seen that
human species can be found elsewhere. If the same genetic code
for humans exists on other worlds, than it is not unreasonable
to propose that other genetic codes previously thought to be
only Earth indigenous exist out there as well. This raises a
very interesting question. Why is the same basic genetic code
found on all these different worlds? The answer can only be that
an unknown intelligence deliberately seeded the various planets
with the same basic genetic blueprints. The Earth then is merely
one in a series of duplicate genetic environments. Who were
these seeders and what was their purpose? Interesting questions
indeed. Perhaps in a future report it can be discussed in
greater detail. Now let us get back to our central issue, the
Grays. What are the reasons for supposing that they are a
dolphin based life form? The answer to this is found in the
similarities of both their physical and behavioral aspects. First
let us examine the physical characteristics. The skin of a Gray
is very similar to that of dolphins both in texture and in some
cases coloration. If you have an abductee look at a dark
gray porpoise, the response is in the affirmative. On Earth the
dolphins evolved legs and arms to function on land but later
returned to the oceans. X-rays clearly show the residual
appendages in modern day dolphins. It is possible that the Grays
evolved just as Earth dolphins but did not return to the oceans
and continued to develop as a land based mammal. Next is the
skull shape. The grays have a large rounded rear area to in the
upper front and back of their skulls. An examination of the
dolphin skull shows the same large, rounded front and rear
areas. The eyes of Grays are described as large and black with
what appears to be a protective shielding covering the eye. Many
earth aquatic animals have developed protective outer eye shields
for underwater use. It is possible that this is a left over
attribute from the grays ocean origins. Another factor is the
dark coloration of this eye shield. It suggest an eye structure
suited for a reduced light environment. In the oceans this is
natural for a creature living underwater were the suns light does
not penetrate. On Earth the dolphins developed the sonar ability
as their primary navigational ability and do not rely on sight
while underwater.
Now we will look at the behavioral similarities.
Earth dolphins use sonar to navigate and stun both prey and
enemies. The stun affect is of particular interest to
us. Dolphins can emit very powerful and focused ultra sonic
burst from the front portion of there skulls. This is used to
stun prey and to stun enemies such as sharks and barracuda. I
viewed a film of a group of dolphins utilizing this ability on a
very large barracuda. The barracuda was swimming towards a group
of baby dolphins. Four large adult dolphins turned so that
there heads were directly inline with the barracuda and emitted a
sustained ultrasonic burst. The effect on the barracuda was
astounding. It literally froze, completely paralyzed in the
water, even the gills had ceased to move. The dolphins stared at
it for about thirty seconds, during which time the barracuda
remained totally immobilized. As soon as they turned their heads
away, the ultrasonic beam was no longer focused on the barracuda
and it fled at a very high speed. Obviously this beam was
tightly focused and required the dolphins head to be pointed
directly at the target. The strength of the beam could be
changed also. When hunting it could be directed at small fish
and amplified to lethal levels, causing instant death. Some
believe that this is also used when dolphins kill sharks, by
ramming them. Autopsy's show the sharks internal organs have
been literally shattered. The beam can also be controlled to
produce a stun effect as in the case of the barracuda. The result
was physical paralysis and disorientation. I believe that this
is the very same technique used by the Grays in abductions. The
similarities are overwhelming. Every abductee says that when
they are abducted they are paralyzed and become mentally
disorientated. This is usually in the presence of a gray. The
most striking thing they recall is what is called the "Stare".
This is when the gray looks directly at an abductee. The large
dark eyes capture the abductees attention immediately. They then
report being unable to move and a feeling of great mental
disorientation. On some rare occasions abductees report a
lessening of these effects when the gray looked away from them.
This clearly indicates that the intensity of the effect was
directly proportional to the direction or focus of the front
portion of the gray's head. I believe that gray's possess the
same sonar abilities as all dolphins and it is used to stun an
abductee during the abduction. The 'Stare" as abductees call it,
is merely the positioning of the grays frontal skull area, the
projection area, to achieve maximum beam concentration on the
abductee. When the gray looks away the beam would naturally
become less focused and the effect would diminish, just as it
does. The description of the grays head is large, triangular
and rounded in front and back. This suggest a large and rounded
rear and frontal brain lobe structure. This is identical to the
physical structure of cetaceans. It is the main difference
between cetacean and human brains. This large rounding is
thought to be an adaptation of the cetacean brain to handle the
enormous data flow of they're echo-location and sound based
communications faculties. It should also be noted that on the
rare occasions that abductees hear verbal sounds from grays it
is described as high-pitched, sometimes chattering or staccato
clicks or beeps. These are all similar to the air vocalizations
of dolphins. The Grays are reportedly engaged in human/gray
hybrid experiments. This is to combine the genetic material of
both species into a hybrid species. Is this possible? The
Japanese and several other countries are working even now on
interspecies hybridizations. If I am correct that the Grays are
of dolphin decent, then the possibility of successful
hybridization becomes much greater. Some believe that on
Earth, man shared a common genetic ancestor with the dolphin.
Up to a certain point in development human and dolphin fetuses
are nearly identical. In the not too distant future it will be
possible to produce a hybrid human/dolphin species. It is my
contention that the Grays have already beaten us to it. Finally
I would like to point out that dolphins have been associated
with the "Gods" AKA the aliens, from earliest recorded times.
Certain mythologies hold that some of the Gods came from a world
of water. It is now thought by most that these beings
genetically altered the existing prehumans on Earth. It is
certain that the Grays would have had a hand in this. One of the
greatest of ancient worship sites is the temple of Delphi. This
was originally the temple of the sea Goddess. The word Delphos
means both dolphin and womb. I believe it is time we stopped
calling them Grays and used the proper name our ancestors called
them. They knew of the Gods who came from the water world in the
heavens long ago. They called them Delphim. I hope that you
have found this enlightening and thought provoking. For those
out there who consider humans the only intelligent species on the
planet, let me demonstrate the power of the cetacean brain. The
bible contains a little over a million and a half bits of
information. The song sung by humpbacked whales contains over
fifteen million. Each year it changes just slightly and every
whale on the planet knows what those changes are. Now ask
yourself this. Could you remember the bible word for word?
Could you remember fifteen of them? Think about it. If our
bible contains our basic history, social and religious
philosophies, what does something fifteen times larger contain.
It is my deepest hope that this report will allow you to open
new perceptions on the events now taking place on this planet.
To see both the Grays and yourselves in a new way. I think in
time we will come to find that what's down here, is exactly
what's out there. That there are humans and dolphins
cooperating out there I am certain. Perhaps we should stop and
ponder our roles as the caretakers of this planet. Our own
cetacean population have been hunted by man to the very edge of
extinction. It is something that we all must take shame in.
Recently efforts have been made by the civilized nations to
preserve the great whales and dolphins. Can we live peacefully
on this planet with another intelligent species? I truly hope
so. I would hate for another more advanced species to treat us
as well as we've treated the whales. Many hope for contact with
these beings. If we cannot get along with an indigenous
intelligent species, how can we expect to get along with one of
extraterrestrial origins. A people are judged by their actions.
If we demonstrate our goodwill toward our fellow inhabitants of
this world, Perhaps those not of this world will be sent a
message, that we are civilized after all.

Journal, 1992.
Debunking versus Counterintelligence: Reflections of a Pro-ufologlst
by Richard D. Butler
To the pro-ufologlst, debunking and counterintelligence (CI)
efforts are seen as the greatest hindrances to legitimate
research. The two terms are frequently used as synonyms. In
fact, they are two very distinct operations. Debunking has two
sources: the U.S. government and civilians. The civilian
debunkers are usually professional academics, whose motivation
is principally reactionary protection against a challenge to
their world view. They see UFOs, and belief in UFOs and even
organized study of UFOs as a threat to their own reality system.
The protective strategy is, in psychological terms, the well
known process called "denial." We see it in alcoholics, and we
see it in UFO-bashers. It is also quite an efficient way to
handle complex data and hypotheses. Simply deny it, make a joke,
and move on and away from the challenge. Ridicule is an almost
essential part of the denial process. The debunker strives to
convince not only his audience that the subject is nonsense, but
he must also convince himself. The self-imposed wall of denial
is enforced by ridicule. There is nothing new about the
debunking process. The history of science is, in a sense, the
history of debunking. Clearly, every important advance in
science has been met with ridicule. A recent example is the
development of the atomic bomb. Top scientists were skeptical
that the bomb would work. President Roosevelt's military aide
stated that, as an expert in explosives, he could assure the
President that the atomic bomb would never, and could never,
explode! Yet in the early morning hours over the Trinity Site, a
tiny flower of hell blossomed in the desert. The impossible had
become awesomely real. Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was heard
intoning, "Behold I become death, a shatterer of worlds." This
was an apt epitaph for the debunkers, whose psychological world
was shattered. Debunking has been with us since the first
debunker laughed at the man who decided to move out of the cave.
In a particularly difficult field of research like ufology, the
debunker must be accepted as something that simply comes with the
territory. We must groan, but accept the old saying, "If you
can"t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. "The second
category of debunking is our official U.S. government version.
This brings us into the deep waters of counterintelligence. CI
is defined as specific and planned activities conducted to
destroy the effectiveness of aforeign intelligence operation.
There are various sub-operations within the heading of CI. The
one of most importance to this discussion is counter-espionage,
which is those activities carried out to neutralize another
intelligence gathering group. Its operational parameters include
penetration, deception, and manipulation of those suspected of
conducting espionage activities. And it's all perfectly legal:
presidential executive orders have made it so. Because these
activities are necessarily covert, not much is known about them
by the general public. CI operations are staffed by highly
skilled and dedicated personnel. Their goal is to deny an enemy
information which could be used to destroy our lives, property,
and way of life. But how does the UFO business tie in? National
Intelligence is the key term. This is defined as any
intelligence information produced by the CIA (or other equivalent
agency) that bears on the broad aspects of nationalpolicy and the
national security of the United States. This intelligence is
then analyzed to determine if a threat condition exists. If the
answer is "yes," a Threat Analysis Report is prepared. The
report identifies and locates the threat,and estimates the
potential damage levels which the threat could inflict. The
hreat Analysis Report is sent to the National Security Council
(NSC) for review. The Council, in turn,advises the President
with respect to formulation and integration of domestic, foreign,
and military policies. Once the threat is confirmed by the NSC,
various agencies will be tasked to perform both the intelligence
and counterintelligence functions, as well as accelerated
defensive weapons programs. It is time to look at the UFO
intelligence gathering program. Most ufologists will probably
be shocked by the nature and dimensions of this operation.
Every ufologist and UFO organization in the world is an overt
intelligence-gathering asset of the United States. Your job as
a ufologist is to monitor all UFO activities, including
sightings, landings and abductions. This information is
published, providing an intelligence channel back into the
system. The CIA has the mission of collecting all published
civilian UFO intelligence data. An Air Force public information
release (still in use) tells us that their investigation of UFOs
ended with the deactivation of Project Blue Book. Further, it
says that UFO investigations have been turned over to academic
institutions and civilian UFO research organizations. In
practice, this means that information of genuine scientific
value will not be overlooked. In other words, Blue Book never
really ended, it just changed hands. And, whether you know it or
not, or like it or not, you are part of the intelligence -
gathering network, feeding straight to the CIA's UFO files.
But this particular brand of intelligence data is perfectly open
to the public, in the form of UFO books, journals and public
meetings. And this presents the government with a unique
problem. As a UFO researcher, you are simultaneously gathering
data for the government, and trying to break through the wall
of secrecy to discover what the government knows. You are
spying for them, and spying on them. By spying on your own
government and, in fact, doing so in a very aggressive manner,
you automatically trigger the counter-intelligence machinery. The
task of screwing you up, meaning the official CI operation
against ufologists, is assigned to Security and Counter -
intelligence Special Operations departments within various
intelligence agencies. Note the three main mission criteria:
(1) Denial to ufologists of the government's offensive and
defensive weapons capabilities;
(2) Denial to ufologists of the government's intelligence
gathering capabilities and level of analysis; and
(3) Prevention of direct or indirect Psychological Warfare effect.
Are these measures justifiable?
In the balance are our rights as U.S. citizens versus the
degradation of America's national security caused by release of
the UFO information. With this in mind, let's review the three
criteria in detail. Item (1) is fairly obvious. If a potential
enemy learns our weapons technology, he can develop
countermeasures. This in turn would render the weapons system
useless, and make us vulnerable to attack. So the answer is a
clear and resounding "No!" to release. Item (2) is the reverse
side of item (1). We are gathering information in order to make
the enemy's weapons ineffective. Here is a purely hypothetical
example. Suppose we are successful through FOIA, or through
what you must admit amounts to standard espionage techniques
which we call "UFO research," and discover that the government
has photos of a UFO hovering above a submarine.
Moreover, the information we have obtained tells us that the
submarine is at a depth of 50 fathoms. We also get pictures
taken at 100 and 200 fathoms, and quickly publish all the facts.
The Soviet submarine commanders would get the message at once
the U.S. anti-submarine surveillance technology is only capable
of imaging down to 200 fathoms. So they would design attack
strategies in which they would cruise without worry at depths
below that level. Bad news for our side, and it puts ufologists
on the wrong end of the logic of item (2). Item (3) is by far
the most complex issue. Psychological Warfare is accomplished by
two main methods. First, direct aggressive efforts aimed at the
enemy, and second, indirect damage caused by release of
information regarding the enemy's capabilities and intentions.
The purpose of "Psy War" is to erode the will of the enemy
nation, and it can have a devastating impact on military
effectiveness. A battle lost in the mind usually translates
directly to military defeat. But the effects of Psy War go
beyond military targets. Both government and private
institutions can be severely damaged. An example is the stock
market crash which took place just before the Gulf War. This is
minor compared with the psychological shock waves that would be
produced by release of certain UFO information. In fact, the
harm would almost certainly be unprecedented in terms of damage
levels, with major impact on basic religious and economic
institutions. The major methods employed by UFO
counterintelligence are debunking and disinformation. Debunking
can be as simple as using the technique of over-simplification
of analysis. For example, the time-honored quick answer to a UFO
sighting, such as "weather balloon," or "swamp gas."
Disinformation, however, should be our main area of concern. It
uses a technique known in the trade as "plausible denial." One
way to view this is that the information is 2% truth and 98%
nonsense, of some mixture of the two, but never the whole truth.
It must appear legitimate on the surface, but have enough bunk
in it to send you off in a totally wrong direction. By far the
most powerful weapon in the ufo counter-intelligence arsenal is
the ufologists themselves. A former CI officer once remarked
to me about a prominent New York City ufologist, "If he didn't
exist, we'd have to invent him." There is nothing that
counterintelligence operators appreciate more than a gullible
ufologist i.e. born again lesbian lizards from Antares,
seven-foot alien cockroaches with hyperactive libidos, etc. The
result is that the credibility of the entire UFO research
community is debased. Little wonder that the press treats the
subject as a joke. That's what the CI people work so hard to
accomplish. The "aliens are eating us" crowd is the answer to
the CI prayers. This brings us to the question of whether the
government is justified in witholding certain information from
the public based in its psychological impact alone. The first
NSC meeting was held in September, 1947. One of the main topics
is rumored to have been the retrieval of a crashed alien aircraft
at Roswell. We might know if this rumor is true, but the minutes
of that meeting have been removed by the CIA from the National
Archives. Interestingly, they were removed in February, 1979.
This is when intelligence operatives discovered that a book
telling the truth about the Roswell crash was about to be
published. It then became necessary to clean up the "paper
trail," among other CI moves to protect the Roswell secret. The
NSC had to consider the Roswell UFO crash only eight years after
the Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" broadcast, in which panic
ensued when the public thought Martians were invading. Little
wonder that President Truman kept mum. Was this a sound policy?
I believe it was in 1947, and on through to today. At least in
the sense that the public was not ready for the stunning
revelation of aliens in our midst. But the public will never be
ready! Nor is there any way to prepare the public. Therefore,
further concealment is futile, as well as morallyun justifiable.
In terms of national security, when a government is forced to
treat its own populace as an enemy, then that government is
already defeated and has lost its right to exist. Abductees are
the only directly affected portion of the population. Granted,
it is a very tiny fraction. But have we decided to write them
off, to list them as an acceptable loss in this shadowy but
nevertheless very real War of the Worlds? In closing, I wish to
express my sympathy for those in government who are faced with
these terrible decisions. I know you desire to do the right
thing. To my colleagues in ufology, my advice is: be very
careful what you ask for, because sometimes your wishes are
granted. If your fervent wishes are granted, our whole
civilization will suddenly have a new, revolutionary set of
ideas about who and what we are. Can you take responsibility for
the cataclysm? Although I have used the term "threat" in this
discussion, it should be obvious that if the aliens are truly
hostile, we would have learned that it was a very, very hard way
long ago. That there are great changes in store for mankind is
certain. How we as a people handle those changes will determine
the level of loss to our social and spiritual realities. There
is much to lose but equaly as much to gain. Or, as the alien
may have said, "Lose a planet, gain a galaxy." Think about it.
