1993

The evidence that Earth is being visited by at least one ET civilization is extensive both in scope and detail. In its totality, it comprises a body of evidence which at the very least supports the general assessment that ET life has been deteceted, that a vigorous program of research and serious diplomatic initiatives is warranted.

Consider the following overview of facts:

* There are numerous daytime and nighttime photographs and videotapes of clearly non-human spacecraft from all over the world; these films and videotapes have been evaluated and deemed authentic by competent experts in optical physics and related fields.

* There are over 3500 military and commercial aircraft pilot reports of encounters worldwide; many cases have corroborating radar documentation and multiple witnesses both on the ground and in the air.

* There are over 4000 landing trace cases from around the world.

* There are hundreds of electromagnetic cases where spacecraft have been observed by police, military personnel and civilians to affect car engines, radios and other electric devices.

* There are over 100 firs- and second-hand witnesses to the retrieval of an ET spacecraft and at least four ET bodies from a crash which occurred in July, 1947, 75 miles northwest of Roswell New Mexico; written and videotaped testimony from several first-hand witnesses who are respected military officers have been obtained.

* There are hundreds of credible reports, many with multiple witnesses, of humanoids in association with landed spacecraft.

* There are several multiple-witnessed events where humans have been taken on board spacecraft.

* CSETI (The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has in the past 18 months succeeded in intentionally establishing contact with ET spacecraft, on two occasions at very close range, and with multiple witnesses present.

* Various polls have indicated that approximately 10% of Americans (25 million people) have seen them at close range so that details of the structure of the object can be discerned.

* Numerous U.S. Government documents exist which indicate that these objects are real and have been involved with observing earth for several decades.

It is an understatement to say that the time has arrived for a serious and open international dialogue regarding the possibility of future interplanetary relations. In no other area of human experience has so much evidence existed for so long, and yet been attended by such a paucity of serious research and analysis--at least in the civilian domain. I was once asked at a conference what was the most astounding aspect of this subject, and I replied that, while the subject matter itself is extraordinary, it is the absence of a seriouis human response to it that is most extraordinary. Indeed, the true barriers to the furtherance of this field of study are neither scientific nor evidential, rather they are political, psychological, social, spiritual and "paradigmatic." Admittedly, it takes real courage for a person, otherwise respected in his or her profession and community, to stand up and speak the truth about a subject which has been the stuff of sensational tabloid claims, crackpots, and the "cottage industry" in the UFO subculture. The social stigma and opprobrium associated with this subject is a formidable barrier to the serious treatment it deserves, and yet if only a 10% probability exists that we have detected ET life which is already visiting Earth--this being one of the most profound discoveries in human history--we must find the inner fortitude to go forward.

To the sincere person who remains skeptical, consider this: Absolute proof is not needed before serious research begins on a subject. In no other field of human endeavor is proof required BEFORE serious study and research begins; on the contrary, proof is the result of this research. In this regard, the subject of ET studies is being held to an irrational requirement of proof before serious research can begin, on the one hand, and denounced as an area of spurious interest because no proof exists, on the other!

This, then, is not a function of scientific reason or evidence, but is the result of a political, social and psychological reaction to a subject which causes most serious scientists to blush. Our collective temerity is driven in part by fear of the unknown, in part by fear of ridicule, and in part by faint-heartedness. The evidence, however, is so profound, the implications so vast, and the consequences of doing nothing so dire that we have reached the point where we must find the fortitude to respond to this subject in a mature and responsible way.

To any impartial observer, the evidence which exists certainly supports a greater than 10% probability that we are being visited by advanced ET civilizations. Indeed, to most people who have seen the data in its entirety, the probability is in excess of 90%. Having spoken to several government officials who have held Top Secret clearances on this subject, and who have confirmed to me that the U.S. Government has in its possession several objects and bodies of ET origin, my own personal assessment approaches certainty. Beyond this, I have personally been present when these spacecraft have approached the CSETI research teams within a few hundred feet , and have then signaled repeatedly to us. Frankly, there is very little doubt in my mind that we are dealing with at least one ET civilization, and that they are non-hostile. p.22

Chapter 6 p 33:

World security--not to mention US national security--would not be served by the introduction and application of ETI technology at this time. On the contrary, until world unity and a just and effective world government are established, would security and stability would be greatly jeapardized by this. Along with social and cultural concerns, this Pandora's box issue of ETI technology has been the motivating force behind government secrecy and the so-called government cover-up of UFO events. While I do NOT agree with all of the methods and polilcies apparently used by this project, the general thrust of securing this information until the world is less factious and hostile is not only understandable, but imperative. . . .

What a wonderful dream.

[GeronL]

Why not a right-wing world government? All we have to do is kill anyone who stands in the way of the United States of Earth! OK, maybe not.

[Quix]

The Bible is clear.

The Global Government Tyranny

WILL

arrive. It will exist at least 3.5-7 years.

It will end in total and utter defeat.

All evil; all rebels against God; All manifestations of evil will be cleansed from the world.

THE RETURN OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WILL BE GRAND.

It's just all the painful noise between now and then . . . that's a bit . . . more than a little annoying.

Though, the 91st Psalm; 23rd Psalm etc. illustrate the comforts God affords HIS OWN.

And now on Nat Geo they are using Tolkien's movie to support the notion of globalism--though with some subtlety.

Sheesh. I have known Nat Geo was a globalist hourseorgan the board members are board members on a lot of globalist supporting enterprises. But it's still sad to see.

[GeronL]

Lord of the Rings supports globalism?? Isn't earth divided by tons of different kingdoms? Are those kingdoms being "united" by the evil side?- by taking them over?

Thanks for the fascinating article, Quix. I will read Greer's new book. I'm one of those who is willing to accept what the credible witnesses, including astronauts, have to say about ETs, though I'm not in favor of the push for global government.

[Quix]

The National Geographic program on the NG channel was going into Tolkien and the background of the novels.

And some of the stars and commentary--especially closer to the end of the program--began to talk increasingly overtly but ever subtly about how some sort of global niceness, government or some such would help us in removing evil from the world akin to Frodo and his quest.

And the question was asked, would we have the courage to remove evil from our world.

It seemed clear to me that it was yet another bit of very subtle to not so subtle conditioning--seeding thoughts to make it seem exceedingly intelligent, wise, with-it, kosher, essential etc. to support notions toward a global government.

It was very slickly done. The actor playing Gandalf was the most overt spokesman toward globalism.

[Quix]

I concur.

Am thoroughly against globalism.

I see it as foundationally, essentially evil until Christ leads HIS global government.

[Quix]

I think it was a very slick taking advantage of the popularity of the movies and the story to do what the puppet masters have been doing for decades with increasing overtness . . . seeding USA and global citizens with the ideas that a global government is the only thing that will save us from

--ourselves
--disease
--war
--diasters
--terrorists
--ET's
--evil

etc.

Trouble is,

The Global Government Tyranny will be worse than all the historical tyrannies combined--and far more evil.

[GeronL]

I totally agree with that. BTW- Ever visit www.geocities.com/geronl??

[Quix]

No.

Not yet.

Will try and get to it.

But not, I'm heading off to shower and bed.

Thanks for the dialogue.

Blessings,

[Pro-Bush]

BUMP! Thanks for posting this information. It needs to be seen, as well as debated, that is, and at a granular level necessary to get to the truth.

[Indie]

ASSIMILATE PING.

[Indie]

Mars is not far enough for the legal profession.

[Quix]

I can agree with that!

[Quix]

Hmmmm

The Good will have their uniquenesses enhanced.

The bad will not be assimilated but anialated, evidently.

But between now and then . . . lots of odd and awesomely destructive things will occur.

[Quix]

I agree with that.

Though, I suspect when it is in the public consciousness, our options will have immediately preceding or immediately following will become enormously less.

[boris]

There is no doubt that many strange things are seen in the sky. I have seen (on documentaries) some things that I would LOVE to study in detail; very strange.

However, this does NOT imply alien visitation.

If aliens are visiting us, what makes them so shy? Why the dozens or hundreds of differently-shaped and differently-moving spacecraft?

Why not just land on the White House Lawn and give the "Take me to your leader" line?

Also, interstellar travel is so difficult as to make their evident shyness and penchant for "abductions" even more difficult to swallow.

Why come all this way just to play hide-and-seek?

There are a number of plausible answers to your questions.

I would be very interested in your response to his book. I might even be interested enough in your response and Poohbah's response to pry loose some of my scarce funds to send you a copy--if you'd actually read it.

Was just reading some more of it last night. He sounds exceedingly like someone who has experienced the contacts and reports he's describing. As one who has thousands of interviewer hours under his belt, it is inconceivable to me that the author of that book is not largely telling the truth as he knows it, construes it.

And the implications are not minor.

A lot of assumptions will be biting the dust in the next decade or 3. A lot of assumptions and 'realities' as we have known them.

But that doesn't surprise me that much. Given the umpteen Biblical prophecies which have come true already, it's a no brainer that the rest of them will also come true. That they seem to be scheduled to mostly conclude in our lifetime is certainly an interesting fact.

Here's a link to Greer's COAST TO COAST show, I think the 9th of Dec.

I haven't listened to it yet and haven't found a transcript yet.
