2/27/96 Carl Sagan "I personally have been captured by the notion of extraterrestrial life... It would be an absolutely transforming event in human history... we have to be very careful. There have been a few instances in the [past]. We thought we found something, and it always turned out to be explicable."6/28/23 Michio Kaku, CCNY "Physicists say 'follow the data'. Previously, we did not have much data... now we have hours of videotape from the U.S. Navy... these objects can travel between Mach 5 and Mach 20: up to 20 times the speed of sound. They can drop 80,000 feet within a few seconds.... we have videotapes of them diving into the oceans and then swimming... it seems to be beyond anything we can field with our arsenal... now the military has to prove that these are NOT extraterrestrials"2/17/59 "The Cosmic Man" (Hollywood movie) Released 8 years after "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (saucer craft) "USAF tracks a white sphere UFO traveling at 180,000 mph.... comes to rest floating 6 feet above the ground... the USAF crew is unable to move the sphere, even though it is attached to nothing"4/15/1974 Gibraltar, Spain round sighting (Grok rendering) Dolan: "between the towns of Ceuta and Algeciras. Passengers on a ferry... saw a 'round intense torch-like light. . . . Rose out of the water near a huge rock, traveled at low altitude, then fell into the water again. This happened twice.' The same day, at the northwest coastal city of La Coruña, a newspaper photographer took 4 photos of a round UFO, which were published in a local newspaper"1957 Lt. Col. Phillip Corso commands missile unit at Army Missile Firing Range at Red Canyon Range Battalion in the White Sands, NM area (8:30 min) Nike missile system picked up objects traveling at over 3000 mph. Tapes were made, but 1st HQ was "not interested" (26 min). He later "forgot about it"1957 Where Corso's story becomes hard to believe (sheltering from heat in Red Canyon gold mine cave "oasis" near White Sands where soldiers would gather by pool of water for "natural air conditioning): "I drew my .45 and snapped off the safety. (Every other cartridge had a buckshot type used to shoot rattlers.) In this cave like structure, I eouldn r t miss, I drew the gun and rolled on my side . Suddenly, a word registered in my head — 'Don't.' In mental telepathy I responded , 'Friend or Foe'..."July 1947 Lt. Col. Phillip Corso claims to have seen "grey" Roswell body at Fort Riley (KS) while it was in transit to Wright-Patterson AFB (OH) Looked under a tarp after hearing about a supposed body from soldiers under his command. Learned about destination from the driver (19 min) "No question" they were not "dummies" as portrayed in 1990s USAF conference (19 min) Later serves in Korea, White House National Security Council (NSC), missiles bases in New Mexico and Germany, and Army R&D at Pentagon 1958 Lt. Col. Phillip Corso commands 552 Missile Battalion in Germany (8:30 min) 18 months Again, Nike missile system picked up objects traveling at over 3000 mph (copy)9/14/1978 "Mork & Mindy" (U.S. television show) "Mork arrives on Earth in an egg-shaped spacecraft"11/16/1977 "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" Released 26 years after "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (saucer craft)6/11/1982 "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" Released 31 years after "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (spherical craft)1957 "flew over the area the next day and saw something metallic and round on the ground at an angle. (My [radio controlled targets aka] R-CATS were red). My pilot in the small army plane asked what I thought it was. I answered: 'possibly a booster from our missiles or a piece of an exploded missile.' I wasn't too interested in UFOs at the time. I was known as a serious commander...If I would have made an issue of the incident, I surely would have been ordered to 'forget it' or be typed a kook"Corso: "In the early-1950s, an Air Force General stated, 'We have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them'. They were able to fault our Minutemen missiles at will. Each fault was traced to the guidance and control system, During ICBM test, unexplained aerial vehicles interfered with the firing. Automatic tracking devices often would lock on UFOs. I experienced this phenomena twice while commanding U.S. Army Missile units"1957 "...The reply came back, 'Neither.' I was impressed. In the shimmering half light, bouncing off the moving water, I saw a figure which appeared transparent. It had on a helmet, silver in color, large slanted eyes and a bright red spot on a band across the forehead... On the way back I kept thinking...hallucination... The mental conversation, I dismissed this, at the time, as figments of my imagination. In 1960, I discovered that without vocal cords they probably communicated by mental telepathy"July 1999 COMETA report given to French President Jacques Chirac (made public in 2007 by GEIPAN, a unit of the French space agency, CNES) Authored by former auditors of Institut des hautes études de défense nationale (IHEDN) Conclusion: "almost certain physical reality of completely unknown flying objects with remarkable flight performances and noiselessness, apparently operated by intelligent [beings]" As of 2005, GEIPAN claimed at least 13% of observations in the files were unexplained (22% by 2012)Eric Davis at Sol Foundation Conference 2024: "it's been pretty clear from people like Jim Lacatski...president...4-star Admiral, General, 3-star Admiral, Colonel's... corporate vice president's who've either been briefed on it directly or had worked on it directly... that it is of non-human origin. It's very clear: there's no ambiguity. I talked to the program people themselves at one particular well-known aerospace company.Eric Davis at Sol Foundation Conference 2024: "One of the things that gob-smacked me is this is not a myth. This is not people writing UFO books ... there's a "there" there. These people are not dumb. They're not putting out BS. I was representing the DIA at the time so they're not allowed to give me BS... descriptions I've received...foreign intelligence I've been exposed to is pretty stark. Including photographs I've seen, reports I've seen, lab testing of materials that have been recovered"Eric Davis at Sol Foundation Conference 2024: "aerospace companies...made some very interesting discoveries in the advanced materials aspect...hardware that was recovered... but propulsion and power...no. Jim Lacatski describes in his recent book...how he was able to see an intact craft and go inside of it. He couldn't recognize any kind of power or propulsion system inside of it. A 4-star general described being able to see that craft as well as touch it...'this isn't anything that we ever made'"1998 Alleged on-going work at Battelle (see 1953) Richard Boylan: "NSC's Special Studies Group has tripled in size. [Michael Kruvant] Wolf reported, 'It now numbers 36 members, including Henry Kissinger and Edward Teller. The MJ-12 Committee meets at various confidential locations, including the Battelle Memorial Institute'... it was Dr. Edward Teller who recommended physicist [and fellow leaker] Bob Lazar for his position at...

Nov 2004 Dave Beatty rendering USS Nimitz off the coast of San Diego "As we turned back towards our CAP point, roughly 60 miles east, the air controller let us know that the object had reappeared on the Princeton’s Aegis SPY 1 radar at our CAP point. This Tic Tac Object had just traveled 60 miles in a very short period of time, was far superior in performance to my brand new F/A-18F and did not operate with any of the known aerodynamic principles that we expect"2014 Grok rendering USS Theodore Roosevelt off the coast of Virginia Beach "Initially dismissed as software glitches, we soon corroborated these radar tracks with infrared sensors... one of the pilots saw a dark gray cube inside of a clear sphere — motionless against the wind, fixed directly at the entry point... could accelerate at speeds up to Mach 1, hold their position against hurricane-force winds"Nov 2004 Christopher Mellon, Fmr. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, speaking in 2024 To James C. Fox: "When I first contacted the Armed Serivces committee, I said to one of the staffers there: 'why don't you get the deck logs for the Nimitz from November 2004?' He went to the congressional research office and tasked them to go to the National Archives. Guess what? They're missing for that one limited window of time. The records before and after there are there"2014 Lt. Ryan Graves, USN, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet pilot USS Theodore Roosevelt off the coast of Virginia Beach "UAP we encountered and tracked on multiple sensors behaved in ways that surpassed our understanding... could accelerate at speeds up to Mach 1, hold their position against hurricane-force winds, and outlast our fighter jets, operating continuously... They did not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion...I am a trained engineer and I have no explanation for this"Nov 2004 CDR David Fravor, USN, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet pilot USS Nimitz off the coast of San Diego "As we turned back towards our CAP point, roughly 60 miles east, the air controller let us know that the object had reappeared on the Princeton’s Aegis SPY 1 radar at our CAP point.

3/7/1988 George H.W. Bush Dolan: "On March 7, 1988, at a political rally in Rogers, Arkansas, Bush was about to meet with reporters when a man named Charles Huffer approached him. Carrying his tape recorder, Huffer asked Bush if, once elected President, he would 'tell the truth about UFOs.' 'Yeah,' replied Bush – quickly adding, 'if we can find it, what it is. We are really interested.' 'You’re a CIA man. You know all that stuff ,' [said Huffer]. 'I know some,' replied Bush. 'I know a fair amount'"6/27/1982 Ronald Reagan Dolan: "thirty five others attended the special screening [of E.T.], including Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. The movie deeply affected the Reagans, and the President said quietly to Spielberg, 'you know, there aren’t six people in this room who know how true this really is.' Apparently, the surrounding crowd made further conversation impractical. The story came from Hollywood television producer Jamie Shandera, who said that Spielberg had told him this personally"9/21/87 Ronald Reagan speech at UN Headquarters "occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?"1974 Ronald Reagan on orb sighting as CA governor "We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens." Editors of Editors of Publications International: "When Norman C. Miller expressed some doubt, a 'look of horror came over [Reagan]. It suddenly dawned on him . . . that he was talking to a reporter.' Immediately afterward, according to Miller, Reagan 'clammed up'"6/27/1982 Steven Spielberg confirmation of discussion with Ronald Reagan during "E.T." screening Interview with Alejandro Rojas (Open Minds Magazine) in 2011 "he looked around the room and said, 'And there are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true.' And he said it without smiling! But he said that and everybody laughed, by the way. The whole room laughed because he presented it like a joke, but he wasn't smiling as he said it."June 1977 Jimmy Carter briefing Dolan: "According to former USAF Captain Robert Collins, 'a lone MJ-12 briefing officer' met with the President... author can relate an anecdote told to him privately by a well-placed source. In June 1977, an aide who was 'very, very close to Carter' walked into the Oval Office following a briefing that the aide knew had concerned the topic of UFOs. Carter was sobbing, with his head in his hands... a few of Carter’s phrases made it clear he was deeply upset about the t 11/19/1985 to 11/20/1985 Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva Dolan: "While making a toast, Reagan surprised everyone by discussing the idea of an alien invasion... told Gorbachev and the Soviet delegation how much easier their tasks might be 'if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another species from another planet outside in the universe'...received a great deal of publicity... Grant Cameron located a State Department “Memorandum of Conversation” that recorded Reagan’s comment"6/28/1982 (1983 picture) Dolan: "following morning, Reagan was briefed on the U.S. Space Program. Initially meeting in the highly secure Situation Room with Chief of Staff James Baker, Attorney Gen Edwin Meese, and Dep Chief of Staff Michael Deaver, the four then met with 6 members of the National Security Council (NSC) – but no one from NASA. Grant Cameron noted NASA’s absence from this kind of meeting as “unheard of.” It would seem that NASA had become irrelevant to the true U.S. space program"Earliest 1981? (Pictured with Chief of Staff James Baker in Oct 1981) Dolan: "author can disclose a discussion he had with one 'insider' who was well-placed in the intel community during the Reagan years..."how much do the Presidents know”... “some knew more than others.” While hinting that he did not believe Clinton or George W. Bush had been briefed significantly on the topic, it was his knowledge that Reagan had been briefed (and his near certainty that Carter and Bush Sr. also had)"4/2/1982 Dolan: "executive order signed by President Reagan... #12356, which eliminated response time limits to FOIA requests. Almost immediately, searches for UFO documents were significantly delayed. Henceforth, it would not be uncommon for a search to last 2 years or more... fees rose accordingly, sometimes substantially – as high in one instance as $250,000... served notice that the glory era of FOIA had ended... data slowed to a trickle compared with earlier years.July 1977 Jack Watson recalls Jimmy Carter UAP briefing. Chief of Staff from June 1980 to 1981. Cabinet Secretary from 1977 to 1980. (Pictured together in Nov 1977) Eric Davis (at Sol Conference 2024): "Carter was definitely briefed. I had that directly from his last Chief of Staff, [Jack Watson], who I interviewed with another colleague of mine from [unclear]. ... And we have a document from Carter's library to the effect that that briefing took place and who attended it"Circa Jan 1969-Aug 1974 Possible Nixon UFO briefing scheduled by Chief of Staff H.R. Halderman (Pictured together in Jan 1972) Eric Davis (at Sol Conference 2024): "I know that Nixon and Reagan and I believe Kennedy [were] briefed. I definitely know that Eisenhower was briefed... Bill Clinton, no. I think Bush Jr. was briefed to some extent... [Clinton's] cabinet secretaries lied to him... that's a private conversation between the person he told that to and myself, who was a former boss of mine"1975-1985 Dolan: "for a period of about ten years (1975 to 1985), the Freedom of Information Act also provided an effective tool to get at the UFO problem. Unfortunately, changes during the Reagan era have since limited its usefulness, and the military dimension to the UFO problem remains locked away within the classified world"Eric Davis in 2024: "I had conversations with him back in 2003 [after the "Wilson-Davis memo" in Oct 2002]...he was not briefed as a President on this subject. He was briefed as an incoming CIA director...when he became President he didn't hear about it anymore... he wasn't told who in the CIA was running it... major UAP event um that was took place in early 60s and Bush's eyes lit up... he said: 'Are you kidding me? There's a 'there' there?'"11/19/1985 to 11/20/1985 Mikhail Gorbachev recalling Reagan's comments in Geneva in 1985 during an appearance on Charlie Rose in 2009 Michels: "Gorbachev goes in a really weird direction that nobody expects and he says, "well one time we're sitting there'...

Robert Naka, USAF chief reconnaissance scientist at MITRE Corporation; later Chief Scientist of the USAF (1975-1978) Shellenberger "Naka tells Robert Low that NORAD radars track UAP's 'coming in from outer space.' He states NORAD has already tracked such objects."April 1963 Richard Feynman "I see around me I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence rather than the unknown rational ethics of extraterrestrial intelligence"1958-1959 Carl Sagan "In 1958, Sagan worked on the classified military Project A119, a USAF plan to detonate a nuclear warhead on the moon and document its effects. Sagan had Top Secret USAF clearance and NASA Secret clearance. An article published in the journal Nature revealed that Sagan had included the classified titles of two Project A119 papers in his 1959 application for a Berkely graduate scholarship. A follow-up letter to the journal by Leonard Reiffel confirmed Sagan's illegal leak"1968 Hynek (left) meets with H.C. Cross after Jacques Vallee (right) discovers the "Pentacle Memo" Anthony Bragalia: "In 1968, Air Force UFO study scientist Dr. J. Allen Hynek approached Dr. Cross about the memo, which had been brought to Hynek's attention. Cross agreed to meet alone with Hynek to discuss it, but instead Cross brought with him 4 'colleagues'. When Hynek started reading from his notes about the memo, Cross snatched the paper out of Hynek's hands and said that it was an 'old story'"2/3/66 Carl Sagan Dolan: "USAF convened an ad hoc committee to review Project Blue Book.. it included Carl Sagan... met for one day, received a briefing from Lt Col Hector Quintanilla, reviewed the Robertson Panel report of 1953, and studied a few UFO reports... endorsed Blue Book, despite its knowledge that most of the 10,000+ sightings had been investigated by a ghost of a staff... concluded that UFOs did not represent extraterrestrial technology... result was the Condon Committee"January 1967 Edward Condon, University of Colorado physicist and namesake of the USAF Condon Committee (1968) "In late January 1967, Condon stated in a lecture that he thought the government should not study UFOs because the subject was 'nonsense'' adding, 'but I'm not supposed to reach that conclusion for another year.'"1961 Carl Sagan Biographer: "Sagan published an article in 1961 in the journal Science on the atmosphere of Venus... in 1961 Harvard astronomers Fred Whipple and Donald Menzel offered Sagan the opportunity to give a colloquium at Harvard and subsequently offered him a lecturer position... Sagan instead asked to be made an assistant professor... Whipple and Menzel were able to convince Harvard... Sagan lectured, performed research, and advised graduate students ... from 1963 to 1968"1960-1975 Donald Menzel, Harvard astrophysicist, ret. USN Lt Cdr and mentor to Sagan Dolan: "was the world's leading UFO debunker... closely tied to the intel community as a cryptologist, and had a long-standing association with NSA. A 1960 letter from Menzel to President-elect JFK mentioned his Top Secret clearance and 'some association' with the CIA. In the 1970s Menzel wrote that he 'was a consultant with Top Secret Ultra Clearance to the NSA.' Menzel and Vannevar Bush were also [WW2] friends"7/29/68 Carl Sagan at Symposium on UFO's, U.S. House "Apparently what is now happening is that the Air Force surveillance radar is throwing away the data that is over relevance for this inquiry. In other words, if it sees something that is not on a ballistic trajectory, or not in orbit, it ignores it, it throws it in the garbage... if some method could be devised by the Air Force to save the output... it might be the least expensive way to significantly improve our information about these phenomena"1963 earliest? USAF exerts pressure on Carl Sagan Steven Greer: "... he was best man at Carl Sagan's wedding. He personally witnessed... [Carl Sagan] as an asset for the intelligence community... they had some dirt on him, apparently some academic impropriety when he was doing his PhD thesis. They basically said: 'you'll be ruined or we'll make you rich and famous'... he said Carl aged 30 years in one month... he had to sell his soul"1972 J. Allen Hynek Shellenberger: "J. Allen Hynek noted USAF Maj. Hector Quinanilla's deception that Project Blue Book had 'no radar cases which are unexplained'. Hynek provided several radar unidentifieds such as Goose Bay in 1951, Lakenheath in 1956, Shreveport in 1957 [in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience]"Early Nov 1965 Condon Committee creation in response to 1965 UFO wave Dolan: "the air force Scientific Advisory Board met in Dallas to discuss... the idea of an independent study of the problem. Within a year, this led to the announcement of... Jacques Vallee [argued this was] “near proof” that the [USAF UFO policy] was more of a bungling than a conspiratorial nature... Could it be possible that after almost twenty years of investigation, the air force was still trying to determine what UFOs were?"11/15/1962 Carl Sagan on scouts/moon bases Dolan: "presented a remarkable paper to the American Rocket Society, arguing that not only was space travel possible, but that other civilizations “must today be plying the spaces between the stars."...scouts may have visited the Earth a total of 10,000 over the full span of Earth’s history... There might even be a hidden base, perhaps on the far side of the moon...[was an] advisor to the U.S. military at the time on such matters as extraterrestrial life"

1/2/1945 NYT foo fighter article Dolan: "New York Times published a story on foo fighters on January 2, 1945, under the title, 'Balls of Fire Stalk U.S. Fighters in Night Assaults over Germany'... suggested German 'sky weapons' as the culprit. None of the American investigators knew that the Germans and Japanese had encountered the same unusual phenomena"1945 OSS investigation on foo fighters Dolan: "At first its investigators believed the sightings to be German experimental craft, but soon discounted that theory. William J. Donovan and his staff apparently settled on the notion that the objects, if that is what they could be called, were unusual but harmless... no one really knows what the military or OSS thought about the strange foo fighters"1945 Foo fighters during WWII Dolan: "Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe collected foo fighter reports and said that 'hundreds' of foo fighters were encountered by American, British, German, and Japanese pilots. One of his sources claimed to have a dozen or so reports that Pacific gunners fired at strange objects circling their ships" Corso: "WWII pilots are resurfacing the 'Foo-fighters' incidents and want to know what the Military Intelligence determined in Europe and the South Pacific"8/13/1946 Ret. Gen. James Doolittle arrives in Sweden as a private citizen working for Shell Oil Dolan: "Upon consulting with the highest Swedish authorities on the ghost rockets, they learned that some objects had been tracked on radar... New York Times mentioned that Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson was personally interested in the matter... Most likely, Doolittle was acting on behalf of the U.S. government"1945 Gen. James Doolittle investigation on foo fighters Dolan: "The U.S. 8th Air Force, under the command of Doolittle conducted a study, although no copy of it has come to light. The report is said to have concluded that the sightings were possibly Axis experimental weapons, static electricity charges, misidentification of ordinary sights, or some kind of 'mass hallucination'1946 Swedish report on ghost rockets, declassified in 1983 (Allan Vougt, Defense Minister pictured) "approximately 100 impacts have been reported, together with fragments from 30 of these. All have been investigated by the Defense Research Institution. It has been impossible to make certain that any of the objects originated as parts of projectiles or rockets; they have generally been attributed to other sources"8/23/1946 British report on ghost rockets (A.V. Alexander, Defense Minister pictured) Dolan: "British radar experts, back from Sweden, submitted secret reports to the British government on the origin of the rockets. Their conclusion: the objects were not of Soviet origin. The scientific advisor to MI6, Prof. R. V. Jones, found it doubtful that “the Russians were supposedly cruising their flying bombs at more than twice the range that the Germans had achieved.”8/1/1946 Tampa, FL ghost cylinder sighting (Grok rendering) Dolan: "Capt. Jack E. Puckett was flying a C-47 transport plane 30 miles from Tampa, Florida. Suddenly, he and his copilot saw a large object speeding toward them on a collision course... long cylindrical shape, which Puckett described as 'twice the size of a B-29 bomber.'

March/April 1945 LTJG Clarence "Bud" Clem, USN, F6F Hellcat pilot, writing in April 2009 "We experienced an unknown object over the Hanford [Ordnance Works site in WA] in March/April, 1945. I did not fly after the object, as two members of our squadron did, but I did assist in trying to determine what was going on.... He just said it was so bright that you could hardly look directly at it. As he closed on it, it took off to the northwest at a high rate of speed. No maneuvers, just a straight-line."8/9/1945 "Fat Man" bomb is dropped on Nagasaki. Its plutonium was manufactured at the Hanford site 1/23/1945 4th Air Force HQ to Commanding General of the Army Air Forces "Resulting from an unidentified aircraft flying over the Hanford [site] at Pasco, WA on at least 3 nights in the past month, the 13th Naval District has made arrangements for Naval Air Station, Pasco, to employ both radar and fighter aircraft in attempting interception of these unidentified aircraft... one incident has occurred since that date in which radar contact was made: attempted night interception again failed"

I got access to the files... thousands of pages from the Russian Ministry of Defense."1993 George Knapp, CBS Las Vegas, speaking in 2023 "Sokolov said there have been 45 incidents in which Russian warplanes engaged with UFOs, chased them, even shot at them. In most incidents, the UFOs shot away at unbelievable speeds, but in three incidents, the Russian warplanes were dibbled (pierced) and crashed. Two of the pilots were killed."1991 Marina Popovich, Soviet test pilot "it became known that this phenomenon has been observed for many centuries, even millennia... two groups of UFOs: a) "Technogenic", which are made using an unknown technology from materials unknown to us; they are controlled by humanoids who can speak (physically real beings). b) Plasmoid (plasma-like), which have spherical structures and whose crews consist of humanoid beings; these appear as "light figures" and communicate telepathically with humans."

It looks as if they’re trying to warn people and yet they’re scared to say too much"1/7/1948 (placed here for pertinence to James Forrestal) Donald Keyhoe (right) recalling comments from Ken Purdy on James Forrestal (left) and Project Sign/Saucer in "early 1949" Purdy: "Sidney Shallett—and he’s careful. He had Forrestal’s backing. The Air Force flew him around, arranged interviews, supposedly gave him inside stuff. He spent two months on it. They O.K.’d his script, which practically says the saucers are bunk. Then they reneged on it"1/7/1948 (placed here for pertinence to James Forrestal) Donald Keyhoe (right) on James Forrestal (left) and the 1948 sighting in ND by Thomas Gorman: Keyhoe: "A leaking balloon? More and more, I became convinced that Secretary Forrestal had persuaded some editors that it was their patriotic duty to conceal the answer, whatever it was"1/7/1948 (placed here for pertinence to James Forrestal) Donald Keyhoe (right) on James Forrestal (left) and the 1948 sighting in KY by Thomas Mantell: "1. USAF was puzzled, and badly worried when the disks first were sighted in 1947. 2. USAF began to suspect the truth soon after Mantell’s death—perhaps even before. 3. Project 'Saucer' [/Sign] was set up to investigate and at the same time conceal from the public the truth about the saucers"1/7/1948 (placed here for pertinence to James Forrestal) Donald Keyhoe (right) on James Forrestal (left) and the 1948 sighting in KY by Thomas Mantell: "4. During the spring of 1949 this policy, which had been strictly maintained by Forrestal, underwent an abrupt change ...1. The earth has been under periodic observation from another planet, or other planets, for at least two centuries. 2. This observation suddenly increased in 1947, following, the series of A-bomb explosions begun in 1945"8/1/1945 JFK is the first after Forrestal to deplane in Frankfurt. Forrestal is also believed to have tried to recruit JFK on the trip. Robert Dallek: "The secretary, who knew Joe well and was greatly impressed by his twenty-eight-year-old son, wanted Jack to join his staff in the Navy Department... When Forrestal’s plane landed in Frankfurt, a journalist recalled, the plane doors opened, and out came Forrestal. Then, to my amazement, Jack Kennedy. Ike was meeting Forrestal. So Jack met Ike.”7/28/1945 JFK arrives in Paris with Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal Editor of JFK's "Prelude to Leadership" on his access to military information as a Naval Intelligence veteran being recruited by Forrestal JFK's editor: "It is a remarkable footnote to history that JFK probably had more 'inside' information on crucial world events in July of 1945 than did the new president who was preparing for the Potsdam Conference"7/29/1945 Forrestal diary entry summarized in "Prelude to Leadership" by JFK "On the Monday [July 29] Forrestal breakfasted with the President – together with Eisenhower, Clay, Judge Samuel Rosenman, his own naval aides and others [possibly including Kennedy] - and what he recorded of the talk was interestingly enough in view of the meeting with the American armor, mainly about postwar military plans and policies."8/30/1946 Memo by Acting Secretary of State [Dean Acheson] to Truman "Since shortly after V–E Day the War Department has operated a project known as 'Paperclip'... German scientists have been brought to this country under military custody for short-term exploitation. There remains... in Germany and Austria... specialists whose knowledge and ability could be used to further our technology... may be lost to us unless steps are taken quickly to assure exploitation under favorable circumstances"8/10/1945 FBI document on Project Paperclip from 1983, FOIA'd in 2018 "On August 10, 1945, the FBI was advised by... Department of War... plan to bring an undetermined number of German scientists to the U.S. for exploitation by the U.S. Army ... On November 1, 1945, the FBI was advised by... Office of Naval Intelligence... maintaining at Long Island, New York, six German individuals ...On November 19, 1945, DOJ provided the FBI with a JIOA list of German scientists and technicians... 69 names"7/3/1945 Memo on Project Paperclip from Army Chief of Staff George Marshall to RAF Air Marshall Douglas Colyer George Marshall: "some aid to our post-war research will result inevitably from such exploitation as well" Thomas Boghardt (U.S. Army prof): "War Dept instructed Eisenhower to 'locate, screen, contract, and ship' up to 350 scientists...assigned the practical execution of the task to his intel agencies...[using] Osenberg file, CIC special agents...offered contracts to promising candidates"July 1945 JFK accompanies Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal to "Big Three" Potsdam meeting as a journalist for Hearst Newspapers.

John Warner IV recalling comments from his grandfather Paul Mellon (OSS Major with 4 battle stars) on time in Czechoslovakia Warner paraphrasing Paul Mellon: "I'm in Czechoslovakia and I'm standing on top of a saucer with Allen Dulles... we were in a facility a hanger and we saw a German flying disc" Warner: "I said: 'Oh, the one that was cobbled together with six BMW jet engines? He laughed and said 'No'"1944 BMW "Flügelrad" "A considerable interest in using a disc as a wing led to the idea of building the autogiro with the blades mounted so close to each other that they almost formed a disc. The BMW engineering team led by Dr. [Richard] Miethe located near Prague studied several projects of such aircraft during WW II. All utilized the same construction layout: a disc of blades strengthened by the external ring was driven by the BMW jet engine(s)" "completely fake" "Miethe was likely not real"

Summer 1954 Project Paperclip engineer Hermann Oberth on UAP's Dolan: "West German govt hired [Hermann Oberth] to head a [UFO] commission. As a result of this study, he made a statement, during the summer of 1954, that UFOs were 'conceived and directed by intelligent beings of a very high order. They probably do not originate in our solar system, perhaps not even in our galaxy'... Oberth decided that UFOs were 'propelled by distorting the gravitational field, converting gravity into useable energy'"Early 1963 Harald Malmgren (right) recalling Richard Bissell (left) comments on alleged Magenta crash in 1933 and U.S. military seizure in 1944 "He said... you have need to know the background how did it end up that Truman transferred that that object from Italy the steps getting there was arranged by Alan Dulles"1944 OSS allegedly seizes from the Nazis a craft that allegedly crashed in Magenta, Italy in 1933 David Grusch: "In 1933, a bell-like craft, around ten meters in size, was recovered in Magenta, northern Italy. It was kept by Mussolini’s government until 1944 when it was recovered by agents of the OSS"Lt. Col. Phillip Corso (U.S. Army R&D Foreign Technology Division) recalling comments from Herman Oberth (pictured front) on craft crashes in Germany and Russia "there was crash in Germany from what Oberth told me and there were also some crashes in Russia. Wilbur Smith, the Canadian genius on electromagnetism, brought us a piece of metal that he got from a down flying saucer in Canada" (Art Bell 38 min) (Project Paperclip engineer Wernher von Braun is pictured right of Oberth)1944 Capt. Edward Ruppelt, USAF, Project Blue Book, writing in 1956 on German craft "When World War II ended, the Germans had several radical types of aircraft and guided missiles under development. The majority of these projects were in the most preliminary stages but they were the only known craft that could even approach the performance of the objects reported by UFO observers... Wires were sent to intelligence agents in Germany requesting that they find out exactly how much progress had been made"1944 Capt. Edward Ruppelt, USAF, Project Blue Book, writing in 1956 on Hermann Oberth "Herman Oberth, the father of the German rocket development, said that the UFO's were definitely interplanetary vehicles."
