April 1, 2009 Albuquerque, New Mexico - The content that unfolds in this series of Real X-Files is a summary of my raw file notes between 1983 and 1989 from many sources that have given me similar, and sometimes contradictory, information about the complex and confusing nature of extraterrestrial biological entities, EBENs - an acronym generally used to describe a grey-skinned, four-finger type with large, black eyes or black eye covers. In March 1983, I signed a development contract with Home Box Office (HBO) to produce an hour documentary entitled, UFOs: The E. T. Factor, going beyond my regional Emmy Award-winning documentary, A Strange Harvest, that was first broadcast May 28, 1980, on the CBS affiliate in Denver, Colorado. What my HBO efforts provoked in government obstruction is detailed in my first book, An Alien Harvest © 1989. By 2009, it seems to me that one of the alleged presidential briefing papers I was shown in 1983 might have been quite accurate in the paragraphs that stated: These extraterrestrials manipulated DNA in already-evolving primates to create Homo sapiens sapiens. ... All questions and mysteries about the evolution of Homo sapiens sapiens on this planet have been answered and this project is closed in Project GARNET. Since 1983, I have interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses and experiencers of the phenomenon who discussed other details about tall and short humanoids with blond or brown or red hair; others describe encounters with tall, standing up crocodiles or lizards. To date, the U. S. government maintains a policy of denial in the interest of national security that insists no other life in the cosmos has been detected. My high strangeness files argue otherwise, but those with firsthand knowledge who have spoken to me have done so only off the record and several of those sources have now passed on. The deeper we go in this troubled, revolutionary century, the more important it seems to share information outside the politically acceptable and restricted boundaries. Howe High Strangeness Files, 1983 - 1989:
In 1949, near Roswell, another saucer-shaped aerial craft crashed containing six non-humans - pilot, leader, couple of scientists and an engineer. MPs investigating site heard a noise in a part of the rather damaged saucer craft and found a live alien entity. The male being was first taken to Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where it was kept in a room for several weeks while the U.S. Air Force tried to figure out what to do. During that time, a USAF Colonel who had protected the being at the crash site, learned to communicate telepathically with the entity referred to as Ebe, an acronym for extraterrestrial biological entity. Ebe was transferred to Los Alamos National Laboratory (with at least one trip to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio) while the Colonel remained close for three years from 1949 until June 18, 1952, when Ebe died of unknown causes. The being communicated to the Colonel that in Earth years, his non-human life expectancy was at least 150 years and he had lived only forty years when overtaken by a mysterious illness. Ebe carried a communicator with him - a 12-inch-long rod with coils at the top that allowed telepathic communication with humans. However, military and government authorities were frustrated to discover that telepathic thought transfer to a group of human minds is as variable as the human mind receivers. According to Ebe, in his civilization telepathic communication is instantaneous and the same for all. In illustration below, the long "earrings" were actually described as "silk threads" that came down from head covering near ears that were described as antennae for communicating back to egg-shaped craft one of which landed at Holloman AFB in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on April 25, 1964, I was told, while two other egg-shaped craft hovered defensively or offensively in the air above the landed craft from which a Sumerian-type being with huge beaked nose, reptilian eyes and ropey headdress emerged along with two grey-skinned beings. The large-nosed being carried a rod in its left hand that had a coil at the type used for telepathic communication with the humans at the scene.  Rod communicator with coils on top was depicted as being in the left hand of a large-nosed alien being who allegedly landed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico, on April 25, 1964, aboard an egg-shaped craft for a meeting with American military and at least one scientist.

Ebe was shorter than five feet. Blue-grey skin that changed color with light intensity. Telepathically communicated Ebens come from the Zeta Reticuli binary star system 39.41 light-years from Earth in the constellation Reticulum (the Net). American authorities uncertain what to believe. The distance between the binary stars is much larger than most binary systems and, according to Ebe, there is a solar system orbiting around each star. According to Ebe, tall blond entities inhabit a cold planet in the Zeta Reticuli solar system opposite the warmer Eben solar system planet. The relationship between the two different binary star civilizations is allegedly one of tension, perhaps even war. Ebens are said to be 25,000 years advanced technologically beyond Earth humans.

 Sixteen stars, including our Sun, are all similar Spectral Class G, which could support life. Our Sun is at the edge of the group with 82 Eridani, Gliese 86 and Zeta Reticuli (binary) near the central region. The arrows indicate the distance in light-years between suns. The numbers in parentheses indicate distance from our Sun. Map from Astronomy, December 1974.
According to Ebe, his planet in the Zeta Reticuli binary system has various degrees of brightness without total darkness. The Eben eyes are supposed to have a bright yellow iris that is vertical like a cat or reptile with three lids that provide variable thickness over the eyes, depending upon brightness of light. Supposedly one pair of lids moves across the eyes horizontally, not vertically as human lids open and shut. Another group of tall blond and perhaps tall red-haired entities are described as inhabiting a planet orbiting the star Tau Ceti.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - Tau Ceti is a 3rd-magnitude star in the constellation Reticulum that is similar to the Sun in mass and spectral type. At 11.9 light-years from Earth, it is a relatively close star. Tau Ceti is metal-deficient and so it is thought to be less likely to host rocky planets. Observations have detected more than 10 times as much dust surrounding Tau Ceti as is present in the Solar System. The star appears stable, with little stellar variation. No companions have yet been detected around Tau Ceti through astrometric or radial velocity measurements, but given current search refinement this only excludes substellar companions such as large brown dwarfs. Because of the debris disk, any planet orbiting Tau Ceti would face far more impact events than the Earth. Despite this hurdle to habitability, its solar analog (Sun-like) characteristics have led to widespread interest in the star. It has been consistently listed as a target for Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) searches, given its stability and similarity to Earth's Sun. Separated by 310 seconds (a bit over five minutes) of arc (0.09 degrees), the sixth magnitude Zeta-1 keeps exact pace with the somewhat brighter fifth magnitude Zeta-2, showing that they are a real gravitational pair (but so far apart that no orbit is detectable). Zeta-1 is listed as a G3-5 dwarf, Zeta-2 as very Sun-like G2. Close to us, Zeta Reticuli 1 and 2 are only 39.5 light-years away. Zeta-2 shines with luminosity almost exactly as our Sun's solar luminosity, while Zeta-1 comes in at 0.9 Suns, which yield respective radii of 0.9 and 1.0 times solar and subsolar masses of 0.9 and 0.96 solar masses. Given the angular separation and distance, the two are at least 3750 Astronomical Units apart, which with the total system mass of 1.86 solar, gives an orbital period of at least 170,000 years.]
IF HUMANS HAVE BEEN GENETICALLY CREATED BY EBENS, IS THERE ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE YELLOW EBEN EYES AND THE YELLOW EYES OF THE GREEKS? Answer unknown. Other details about Eben physiology from variety of sources, none proven:
- Flat face. No nose, only holes. The entities can smell. - No lips - only small straight line where humans would expect a mouth. - Small teeth - eat Earth vegetables? - Egg-shaped head with no hair at all. - Ears are only holes with slightly raised tissue around holes on either side of head. - Neck and vertebrae are more pronounced than in humans. In profile, Ebe's back bones stuck out more. Ebe could rotate his head much further around his thin neck than a human could. - Jaw fused immobile whereas human lower jaw moves up and down. - Ebe's heart and lung system were same organ. - Simple bag for stomach. Excretion process not entirely clear, except some excretion through skin surface. - Eben hands have four long, thin fingers and no opposable thumb. Similar to the E. T. in Spielberg's feature movie, the Eben finger joints can extend another inch longer. - Eben feet are pointed with nail-like substance at end, no separate toes. Like pointed hooves? (Ice cream cone-shaped prints were found at one of the cattle mutilation sites near Dulce, New Mexico, back in the 1970s.) - Blood related to chlorophyll? - No genitals in some - biological androids/clones programmed to do work on Earth?
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TALL BLOND BEINGS AND THE GREY-SKINNED EBENS? There was a star war battle between the Talls and Shorts that lasted 300 Earth years. But when in Earth's timeline? Not known. The Talls can be aggressive and control little robot/androids of the Judy Doraty, Betty Andreasson and other abduction experiences. Some intel and military authorities consider the Ebens to be peace-loving, not emotional, who do not understand the need for war and were very disappointed in the Vietnam war days. There was intense UFO focus on Vietnam. The Ebens have communicated that they intend to prevent nuclear war on Earth no matter what. Other military and intel authorities don't trust the Ebens, say they have lied. But lied about what? Some how the Ebens and Talls came to a truce in their war and are now both on Earth seeming to ignore each other, tolerate each other? One military source says there is no known communication between the two alien groups - even though both alien types are supposed to be working with the U. S. to trade off technology for bases from which operations on Earth can be conducted without interference, including the mutilation of animals by the Talls? Greys? Reptiles? All of them? Exact perpetrators not clear and neither is precise reason/s for harvest of animal tissues, blood and fluids. Government's Project Sigma operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, listening to and recording various frequencies linked to non-human aerial craft. Between 1949 and his unexpected death in 1952, Ebe shared scientific, cultural and historical material contained in at least 18 volumes buried somewhere in the MJ-12 group - - National Security Council (NSC)? National Security Agency (NSA)? Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)? Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)? Pentagon? One 1983 military source says volumes of information from Ebens now underground Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico, moved from a classified location in Washington, D. C. between 1979 and 1983. Stealth bomber technology is based on Eben technology - cloaking, radar-invisibility. ARE THE EBENS AND/OR OTHER NON-HUMAN TYPES ALSO GIVING SAME TECHNOLOGIES TO SOVIET UNION OR OTHER COUNTRIES? No one seems to know the truth because humans don't know how to trust telepathic information from extraterrestrials. COWBOYS IN COLORADO ONCE REPORTED SEEING GREY-SKINNED BEINGS FLOAT OVER A CORRAL FENCE WHERE A MUTILATED COW WAS FOUND. THEN IN THE MIDWEST, RANCHERS SAW BLOND-HAIRED BEINGS DOWN WITH A MUTILATED COW. WHY WOULD BOTH ALIEN SPECIES BE HARVESTING TISSUES FROM EARTH ANIMALS? The Tall ones are using DNA from Earth animals to build humanoids to carry out work back on their home planet. ARE THE HUMANOIDS BEING MADE BY THE TALLS THE 3-FOOT-TALL LITTLE GREY ANDROIDS WITH THE BIG BLACK EYES? DO BOTH EBENS AND TALLS MAKE SIMILAR-LOOKING ANDROIDS TO DO DIFFERENT WORK ON EARTH? Mixed answers, both yes and no. Human abductees have described and sketched tall beings with small, grey-skinned androids that have big, black eyes. Grey entities also seem to have small, grey-skinned types with big, black eyes. One military source said, Our government's greatest concern is who walks around on this planet looking human and is not. Supposedly U. S. has been using an infrared or other technology to distinguish Homo sapiens sapiens from exotic non-humans camouflaged in human bodies. IS THERE POTENTIAL FOR HOMO SAPIENS SLAVERY ON THIS PLANET? The same military source told me that the "nose probes" and back of the neck "hairline implants" have long been a government concern because the implication is the devices are used to monitor and control human behavior. ARE THE GREY EBENS ALLIED WITH HUMANITY? WOULD THEY GO TO WAR AGAIN WITH THE TALL ONES OR REPTILIANS TO PREVENT ABUSE OF HUMANS? OR DO THE EBENS USE EARTH LIFE FOR THEIR OWN AGENDAS AS MUCH AS THE TALLS AND THE REPTILIAN HUMANOIDS? Not answered.

Return to Part 1
April 5, 2009 Albuquerque, New Mexico - Continuing in Part 2 with Linda Moulton Howe's 1983 to 1987 High Strangeness Files about EBENs. From Linda Moulton Howe's High Strangeness EBEN files, 1983 - 1987. EBEN CLOTHES: They don't wear any.They have a thick hide of two layers, which changes color and temperature in varying light intensities. One photo in USAF files shows Ebe (1949 retrieval?) in a human male's dress suit and tie, apparently USAF's effort to make Ebe appear more normal for communication with visiting scientists and government agents. SLEEP: EBENs start sleeping in a sitting position as if in meditation and then lie back to sleep deeply for four to five hours. Allegedly on their home planet orbiting one of the Zeta Reticuli binary suns, their normal day is 30 hours. HOUSING: EBENs live in pueblos and in a desert-like atmosphere. There are rivers and plants, but mostly arid. Ebe was afraid of Earth's oceans. FOOD: EBENs eat mostly vegetables and fruits. Ebe could not digest meat or most fats, which made Ebe sick. But the USAF officer who stayed with Ebe, mostly at Kirtland AFB and in Los Alamos National Lab, said Ebe's favorite Earth food was strawberry ice cream. Is that deliberately planted and seemingly ridiculous misinformation to track how information spreads through what people from official leaks - either misleading info or real? Ebe also was taken to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio and Walker AFB in Roswell, New Mexico.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - Walker Air Force Base was the largest Strategic Air Command (SAC) base of the United States Air Force at the time of its closure in 1967. It is located three miles (5 km) south of the central business district of Roswell, a city in Chaves County, New Mexico. From 1941 to 1948, the facility was known as Roswell Army Air Field. It is also known for the Roswell UFO incident, an event that supposedly happened on July 4, 1947. It is alleged that a flying disk crashed during a severe thunderstorm near Corona, New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. ]
ATMOSPHERE: HOW COULD EBE BREATHE OUR AIR? At first, Ebe would breathe from a tank containing his planet's atmosphere about every hour. After a while, he did not seem to need it. Adaptation to Earth's atmosphere? Allegedly gas composition of Earth atmosphere and EBEN atmosphere not hugely different. Is that possible? ARE THE EBENS OUR FOREBEARS? Ebe said, Yes. We made you. We put you here. But you have to live it. Project GARNET: All questions and mysteries about the evolution of Homo sapiens sapiens have been answered and this project is closed. In alleged briefing paper for an American president shown to me on April 9, 1983, Kirtland Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) by Special Agent Richard C. Doty. According to the USAF officer who stayed with 1949 retrieved Ebe, the EBENs were astonished by all of Earth's different races. The EBENs claim responsibility for manipulating DNA in already-evolving primates to create standing up hominids on Earth, but the EBENs expected more homogenous Earth humanoids - more like their civilization where everyone looks the same and telepathically think a like. Supposedly, there is no war, no struggle, no money in the EBEN Zeta Reticuli planet - all is programmed and well organized. Ebe communicated difficulty understanding Earth concepts of money and stores. There are several different versions about timelines of EBEN interaction with Earth. Some insiders say the EBENs first came to Earth before the time of the dinosaurs and were in fact responsible for manipulating DNA to create the dinosaurs. That would be at least 270 million years ago. Other versions place EBEN first Earth arrival in time for the manipulation of DNA in Neanderthals to create Homo sapiens sapiens, which would be at least 35,000 years ago. Subsequently, there were allegedly other genetic experiments 15,000 and 5,000 years ago such as manipulating DNA in some people selected in Bhutan that became an E. T.-created group of humans transported in disc craft from the Himalayas to the Yucatan Peninsula, Guatemala and surrounding region. That specific E. T.-created human group were what became the Mayans until their sudden disappearance in 850 A. D. [ Medical fact: Mongolian and Mayan babies at birth sometimes have a blue spot at the base of their spine. ] Then most controversial of all is the EBEN assertion that their genetic manipulation program of Earth life included the creation of a being 2,000 years ago to be placed on Earth to teach Homo sapiens not to war, but to love each other. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The immaculate conception was EBEN control of matter; i.e. fertilization of human egg inside Mary without sperm. If true, it means there is no patriarchal bloodline for Jesus. Mother Mary would be his only human source. The U. S. government agents with need-to-know about EBEN/Other issues are afraid that any public disclosure of Christ being created by extraterrestrials to try to homogenize human thinking and make humans less violent would knock Catholics and Christians into a tail spin.
[ Editor's Note: Confusing the issue after the 1983 to 1987 period have been people in the human abduction syndrome who say they have been told the Talls - blond, red and dark-haired - genetically created Christ to cause a time line change for Earth from a catastrophic future to a more peaceful future. So in this hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor that is the UFO phenomenon emerges the peculiar contradiction of two competing? warring? non-human groups both claiming to have genetically produced Christ.]
Holloman AFB Incident Date I was given was April 25, 1964. Three EBEN ships arrived in a deserted area of base. All three were white and egg-shaped. One landed while two others hovered above as if to protect the landed craft. At least three humans were in a greeting party, including the same USAF Captain who became a Colonel and who stayed with Ebe between 1949 and June 18, 1952, when the alien died of unknown causes at Los Alamos National Lab. IS THIS WHEN THERE WAS AN EXCHANGE OF THE DEAD ALIEN BODIES FROM THE 1949 AND OTHER UFO CRASHES? Yes. The contact lasted only three hours. Two grey-skinned EBENs stepped out first followed by the taller, beak-nosed non-human with reptilian eyes, ropey headdress and holding the rod communicator in its left hand. WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GREY EBENS AND THE SUMERIAN-TYPE ALIEN HOLDING COMMUNICATION ROD? Sources not certain. Confusion about precisely which non-humans were the Sumerian gods that demanded construction of the huge Mesopotamian (modern day Iran and Iraq) ziggurats for periodic sexual intercourse with the fairest female humans at the top of the ziggurats - in a hybrid breeding program? Anu (An), Mesopotamian sky god wearing ropey headdress and holding rod similar to illustration below of non-human who allegedly landed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. Anu was in a triad of deities with Enlil and Ea (Enki) who argued about the fate of humans. Anu was the father not only of all the gods, but also of evil spirits and demons, most prominently the demoness Lamashtu, who preyed on infants. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica. Rod communicator with coils on top was depicted as being in the left hand of a large-nosed alien being who allegedly landed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico, on April 25, 1964, aboard an egg-shaped craft for a meeting with American military and at least one scientist.

See Earthfiles Shop. 1955 Hill AFB EBEN Craft Linked to 1980 Cash-Landrum UFO Encounter Nine years earlier in 1955 at Hill AFB, Utah, the EBENS allegedly left a gift of an alien craft in perfect condition and all systems on and operating. Military and scientific investigators were baffled by hockey pucks floating in the air inside the craft as if defying gravity and some how interacting with columns of light generated by computer control panels. The panel instruments have symbols most similar to Tibetan script. The panel instruments are activated by touch. To "steer" the craft, you place a hand over a column of light and turn your hand which ever way you want to go. Light is the key to their technology and every different color of light means something significant. A standard ice hockey puck is black vulcanized rubber, 1 inch (25 mm) thick, 3 in (76 mm) in diameter, and weighs between 5.5 and 6 ounces (156170 g). Source Wikipedia. On December 29, 1981, outside Houston, Texas, the U. S. government was testing the Hill AFB, Utah, craft in which the complex and incomprehensible crystal system was bypassed with a nuclear powered system constructed by human engineers. Allegedly, that night was the third test to see if humans could fly and control the extraterrestrial craft modified with nuclear powered engines when something went wrong and the nuclear device was leaking radiation. According to sources, that is the diamond-shaped craft coming down near the highway in front of the car containing Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Colby Landrum, Vickie's 7-year-old grandson on their way home to Dayton, Texas.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia - At about 9.00 p.m., while driving on an isolated two-lane road in dense woods, the witnesses said they observed a light above some trees. They initially thought the light was an airplane approaching Houston Intercontinental Airport (about 35 miles away) and gave it little notice. A few minutes later on the winding roads, the witnesses saw what they took to be the same light as before, but it was now much closer and very bright. The light, they would claim, came from a huge diamond-shaped object, which hovered at about treetop level. The object's base was expelling flame and emitting significant heat. Vickie Landrum told Cash to stop the car, fearing they would be burned if they approached any closer. However, Vickie's opinion of the object quickly changed: a born again Christian, she interpreted the object as a sign of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, telling her grandson, That's Jesus. He will not hurt us. Anxious, Cash considered turning the car around, but abandoned this idea because the road was too narrow and she presumed the car would get stuck on the dirt shoulders, which were soft from that evening's rains. Cash and Landrum got out of the car to examine the object. Colby was terrified, however, and Vickie Landrum quickly returned to the car to comfort the frantic child. Cash remained outside the car, mesmerized by the bizarre sight.
The UFO Encyclopedia: The Phenomenon from the Beginning, Volume 1: A-K (second edition) © 1998 by Jerome Clark: The object, intensely bright and a dull metallic silver, was shaped like a huge upright diamond, about the size of the Dayton water tower, with its top and bottom cut off so that they were flat rather than pointed. Small blue lights ringed the center, and periodically over the next few minutes flames shot out of the bottom, flaring outward, creating the effect of a large cone. Every time the fire dissipated, the UFO floated a few feet downwards toward the road. But when the flames blasted out again, the object rose about the same distance.
