The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government secrecy and thereby
disempowering the people at-large.
An unprecedented coverup began in 1947. Some Air Force officers at
Roswell, New Mexico, reported that a "flying saucer" had crashed and
physical evidence recovered. The story was reported by the United Press
news service, but within hours the officers were told by their superiors
in Washington, D.C. to say they had been mistaken, and that what they
saw must have been something else. This became a coverup theme applied
to many thousands of other sightings of unidentified flyng objects over
ensuing years.
Behind the label of government "top secret", a covert control group in
Washington was said to be managing the coverup of one of the world's most
important and far-reaching stories of all time.
Fifty years after Roswell, and after decades of government
investigations into personal experiences by responsible individuals in
all walks of life and all around the world, many government files on the
subject remained secret. Independent efforts to have them opened were
blocked by courts that ruled the information would "jeopardize national
security", and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hold a hearing on the
denial.
U.S. Senator and reserve Air Force General Barry Goldwater attempted to
verify reports that remains of extraterrestrials from the Roswell case
were being held in Hangar 18, Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, but he was
refused entry. Later, he said of the coverup;
"It was a damned mistake then and it's
a damned mistake now."
U.S. warplanes were reported over the years to have encountered UFO's
and tried to attack them, but without success, while engineers at the
highly secret military "Area 51" in Nevada were reportedly engaged in
back-engineering of spacecraft somehow obtained from extraterrestrials.
Britain's former Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral of the Fleet Lord
Hill-Norton, wrote in the foreword to Timothy Good's 1988 book "Above
Top Secret" that the UFO coverup was real. He rejected the idea that
all the sightings and personal encounters with ET's around the world
were paranoramal experiences or attempts at publicity. If this was
true, he said, why wouldn't all government files be open? And he
rejected the idea that the objects were human creations;
"I am certain that were such technology
in actual use anywhere on earth it would
have surfaced either in war, or perhaps
more likely in industry."
The Admiral said there was no reason why government would not simply
acknowledge the technology exists if it was of human origin;
"There have been major investigations
lasting thirty or forty years by the
governments of the USA, Russia and
France for certain, and probably Britain
and other countries. At the end of it
all today, we had no hard OFFICIAL infor-
mation to weigh against some hundreds
of books on the subject by private indi-
viduals or groups of individuals. I claim
the charge that there is a coverup is
thereby proved."
U.S. Army Command Sergeant-Major Robert Dean, who had Cosmic
Top Secret clearance and studied the UFO files of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization in the 1960's before retiring, reported the study came to
some basic conclusions;
1. UFO's are real.
2. UFO's come from several highly advanced civilizations.
3. UFO's pose no threat.
A well-respected medical doctor, Steven Greer, who headed the
non-governmental Committee for the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence, told government leaders of several nations in 1998 that
the group had made direct contact with ET's, and he asked Congress to
hold open hearings for testimony to show that earth's visitors had only
peaceful intentions, even regarding "abductions".
There were references to strange airborne objects dating back centuries.
In about 1710, the Flemish painter Aert de Gelder depicted a disc-shaped
airborne object emitting beams of light on a scene he titled "The
Baptism of Christ", a work still being displayed in 1993 at the
Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge, England.
Some Christian Bible scholars interpreted the Prophet Ezekiel as
referring to extraterrestrials and spacecraft in his writings;
"...and the heavens were opened and I
saw visions of God...And I looked, and,
behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,
a great cloud, and a fire unfolding itself,
and a brightness was about it, and out of
the midst thereof as the color of amber,
out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the
midst thereof came the likeness of four
living creatures. And this was their
appearance; they had the likeness of a
man."
The only mystery about UFO's was why government continued to deny their
existence unless, as some alleged, there was collusion between some
powerful human elements and some extraterrestrials for mutual benefits
involving control.
With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, government secrecy is prohibited.
