THE UFO GUIDE, by Nick Humphries, February 1994.
Introduction to the First Edition
You know the scene : You're reading one of the UFO newsgroups on Usenet and
you don't understand many of the terms used. What do you do? Go to the next
article? Skip the rest of the articles and go to the next newsgroup even?
No. You pick up your UFO Guide and find out what the hell it all means.
You'll then find the information that you want in easily digestible
bite-size chunks.
This guide is only intended to give the reader the basic facts about the
subject. To find out more information about a certain aspect of ufology,
read some more books, most libraries should have a few UFO books and usually
hold them under the section of "Paranormal", "Occult" or "New Age", despite
the fact that ufology is neither of these.
A short list of recommended UFO books are included in the Appendix, along
with a list of FTP sites that you can download further information from.
Read and enjoy!
Nick Humphries, December 1993.
Introduction to the Second Edition
Yes, I know it's all a bit pretentious having the previous introductions to
the previous editions (or edition) of the UFO Guide, but I'm very proud of
it for many reasons.
The main reason why I'm proud of this new edition is that it's bigger and
includes most of what I originally wanted to include in the first edition
but couldn't as I was rapidly running out of time. The UFO Guide now has a
source list just before the Appendix and a section on what to do if you see
a UFO. The mistakes in the First Edition have been corrected and there are a
few new entries in the A-Z bit.
The next edition of the UFO Guide should be out in the Autumn. There may be
a few more formats of the Guide to go with the ASCII, HTML and PostScript
versions, I'm playing about with the idea of doing an MS-DOS interactive
Guide (those of you who have seen Project Galactic Guide will know what sort
of thing I mean, look in alt.galactic-guide if you don't) and would welcome
any views on how I should do this, as well as any views on how to improve
the Guide in general. My E-mail address is below.
Now read and enjoy!
Nick Humphries, February 1994.

ARNOLD, KENNETH On 24th June 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold observed nine
boomerang-shaped craft flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington - the
sighting which gave BENNEWITZ, PAUL In the late 1970's, an Alberquerque
businessman named Paul Bennewitz started to monitor unusual electromagnetic
pulses from what he thought were UFOs flying above the nearby Manzano
Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility near Kirtland Air Force Base. He came to
the conclusion that these pulses _may_ be controlling implanted abductees,
so he started attempting to decode the pulses, and thought he was on the
right path. He contacted APRO about his theory, but they wouldn't believe
him, so he contacted AFOSI in October 1980, where he was put in touch with
RICHARD DOTY. He filled out a few forms and sent in some tape he had filmed
of some UFOs over the Nuclear Storage Facility and Doty started to feed
Bennewitz DISINFORMATION about the US government's involvement with the UFO
phenomenon, including tales of US/alien pacts, alien bases in various places
around the world, and of experiments that the aliens carried out with humans
to create hybrids and androids. Bennewitz believed all of it. Doty then got
WILLIAM MOORE to pass on more disinformation on to him, and Bennewitz got
more and more paranoid and eventually went insane. Bennewitz told JOHN LEAR
what he had heard and Lear took this into account when he wrote his DARK
SIDE HYPOTHESIS.
BLACK PROJECTS Government projects that are considered as technological
secrets. About $US50bn are invested in US black projects a year.
BUFORA The British UFO Research Organisation is the largest UFO group in
Great Britain and has been going since 1964. As well as doing research into
the UFO phenomena, it publishes the bi-monthly journal "UFO TIMES".

CASH/LANDRUM CASE In December 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and her
grandson Colby Landrum, were driving along a road in Huffman, Texas when
they saw a bright light in the sky. After driving a little more along the
road, they came across a large diamond shaped UFO hovering over the road
belching fire out of the bottom. Since the flames were blocking the road,
they had to stop the car about 65 yards away from the craft and the three of
them got out. Vickie and Colby stayed by the car, whereas Betty went on to
get a closer look. She spent a long time gazing at it and her skin began to
burn because of the heat from the flames. She returned to the car when the
object began to rise and a large number of unmarked black helicopters chased
after the UFO. When they got home, they started suffering from sunburn,
diarrhoea and vomiting. It has been claimed that the craft was a US attempt
at making a UFO since it was spewing out flames at the bottom and was joined
by many helicopters later on (See PROJECT SNOWBIRD).
CATTLE MUTILATIONS A world-wide problem, cattle are killed and the body is
left on the farm in various conditions. On studying the body, it has been
found that the body has been _totally_ drained of blood and that there has
been no trace of blood found anywhere on the ground around the body. Various
incisions would also be found on the body that were so clear cut that they
would have had to have been done with some sort of laser technology that we
didn't have when the mutilations started (before 1970). Bones were also
clearly cut with no bone fragments around the cut. The bodies would be
missing various parts which had also shown to have been removed with
accurate precision. UFOs have been linked with these mutilations since they
have been sighted at the same time in the same area where the mutilated
bodies have been found.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS (CE RATING) See HYNEK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM and VALLEE

COLLINS, ROBERT See "CONDOR".
CONDON REPORT The result of an investigation into PROJECT BLUE BOOK in 1969
by Dr Edward Condon. He started the investigation saying that all UFOs are
"bunk", people who believed in them were "kooks", the authors of UFO books
should be "horsewhipped" and that Blue Book was a waste of time. As a
consequence, the report concluded that all UFO sightings were explainable
and that UFOs didn't pose a defence threat.
"CONDOR" Also known as Robert Collins who took part in a DISINFORMATION
program with WILLIAM MOORE and RICHARD DOTY against PAUL BENNEWITZ.
COOPER, MILTON WILLIAM Known as Bill Cooper, this is one man who the UFO
community does not trust anymore. He used to work for the US Air Force and
claims to have then moved on into Naval Intelligence. He made his debut on
PARANET with a report on a UFO sighting he had whilst on the USS Tiru, a US
Naval submarine. That report was accepted in good faith. He then began to
send in details about various secret projects that he alleged the US

governments were involved in during his time in intelligence. When asked for
evidence to back his claims up by UFO researchers, he replied abusively. His
reports continued to be sent in and the researchers still questioned him
about backup evidence. Eventually he was barred from Paranet. He still wrote
the reports and sent them into various bulletin boards anonymously, this
time accusing the UFO researchers that questioned his authenticity as people
who are working for the government to spread DISINFORMATION to the public.
Bill Cooper is now a highly paid lecturer who lectures about his
"experiences" and also claims that JFK was assassinated by the driver of the
car because he wanted to make details about UFOs public and that we had
bases on the Moon and on Mars built in the 1950's. Evidence : none for the
bases and a seventh generation copy of the film showing the assassination
that is very bad quality. He also claims that the aliens in US TV series
"Alien Nation" are real aliens who were employed as part of an
indoctrination program so that the public will accept the reality of aliens
more easily. Bill Cooper's sources for his hypothesis is a mixture of the
claims of PAUL BENNEWITZ, BILL MOORE, JOHN LEAR and BOB LAZAR and added a
few unfounded theories he invented himself. When Bob Lazar was on a phone-in
in 1989 ("Billy Goodman's Happening", 21/11/89) whilst he was going public,
Cooper called in and said that he had talked to Lazar for over a year and
that he had checked out his claims and they are all genuine. Then, some
months later, Cooper changes his mind and says that Lazar is a fraud and had
always known he was a fraud ever since he first went public. This is just
one example of the many U-turns and inconsistencies that Cooper has carried
out over the years.
CUFOS The Centre for UFO Studies was founded in 1973 by Dr J. Allen Hynek
four years after his work at PROJECT BLUE BOOK ended. It publishes the
bi-monthly journal "INTERNATIONAL UFO REPORTER" and an annual "JOURNAL OF
UFO STUDIES".
--D--
DARK SIDE HYPOTHESIS This is a brief run-through of JOHN LEAR's Dark Side
Hypothesis : Dozens of flying saucers have crashed over the years and the US
government has recovered all of them and launched Project Redlight in 1962
whose aims were to discover how to fly these recovered craft and was carried
out in S-4 at AREA 51. Lear claims that this area is no longer in US
control, the aliens have taken over the area. The US government then made a
deal with the aliens in which the aliens could control a segment of S-4 and
abduct as many people as they want, in return for their technology and that
they provided a list of people that they intended to abduct. In 1973, the US
government discovered that the aliens were abducting more people than they
had listed and there was a confrontation and in 1978/9 the aliens held and
then killed 44 top scientists and some of the Delta Force troops sent in to
rescue them. The deal was then broken but the aliens stayed and were
abducting as many as 1 in 10 Americans to use in experiments, mutilating
these abductees and producing androids in underground laboratories. Sometime
in the 1980's the US government and the aliens got together again and are
working together so that the US can gain some more alien technology. Lear
claims that there is a secret US government that is overseeing the
abductions and that the abductees have implants in them that control them so
that when an ideal time came, the secret government could enslave them and
control them via drug addiction. The head of the secret government would be
MJ-12. Lear's sources were PAUL BENNEWITZ, BOB LAZAR and, later on, BILL
COOPER. When Bob Lazar went public on US TV in 1989, he said that he did not
believe any of Lear's claims and distanced himself from Lear and any of his
associates.
DAYLIGHT DISK See HYNEK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
DISINFORMATION A strategy used by the governments of the world to cover up
any knowledge they have of UFOs. Disinformation is when a person or
organisation lies to a person by knowingly giving him or her fake documents
or telling them false "facts".
DOTY, RICHARD The AFOSI Special Agent who fed PAUL BENNEWITZ DISINFORMATION
and employed WILLIAM MOORE to feed Bennewitz more information and to spy on
various prominent ufologists. Doty was given the code name "FALCON" by Moore
when they both appeared with "CONDOR" on "UFO Cover-Up...Live" in the US.
The show was a big embarrassment to the UFO community when they claimed that
EBE's were living in secret hideaways and like strawberry ice cream and
Tibetan music.
DREAMLAND The nickname for AREA 51.

ET Extra-terrestrial. A term used to refer to aliens.
ET EXPOSURE LAW In July 1969, the ET Exposure Law was added to US law
without public debate, a law that prohibits anyone to come into contact with
a UFO or any aliens. If a person breaks this law, he or she can be fined up
to $5000 (yes, _five_thousand_dollars_, approximately 3300 UK pounds) and be
jailed for up to a year. On top of that, a NASA administrator is empowered
to determine, with or without a hearing, if a person has been
"extra-terrestrially exposed" and can impose that the person can be locked
up in quarantine under armed guard for _any_ period of time. The decision
cannot be reversed, not even by a court order, making the law completely
against the American Constitution. The law also effectively makes anyone
involved in a CLOSE ENCOUNTER a criminal. Since the law is in Title 14,
Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, very few people know about
it since you would have had to have gone through at least 1210 other laws in
the book to find it.

FLY-BY (FB RATING) See VALLEE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
FLYING SAUCER When Kenneth Arnold reported his 1947 daylight sighting of
nine boomerang-shaped UFOs over the north west of the USA, a newspaper
covered the story and called the crafts "flying saucers" because Arnold said
that their movements were similar to that of a saucer skipping across the
surface of a lake despite the fact that the UFOs weren't saucer-shaped. The
name stuck.
"FLYING SAUCER REVIEW" The longest running UFO journal in existence, running
since the 1950's. Unfortunately not the authoritative journal it used to be
in its heyday due to changes of editors. The current editor, Gordon
Creighton believes that we are all being controlled by alien forces of some
sort and that we can do nothing to stop them. He is also convinced that a
significant percentage of the Earth's population is half-alien-half-human,
and some people are completely alien.
FOIA Freedom of Information Act. This is an American law that allows members
of the public to obtain copies of classified documents by having all or
parts of the documents declassified by order of a federal judge. The judge
may refuse the declassification of a document if it is necessary for the
document to remain classified because it affects national security. At
least, that is in theory. In practice it has been very unreliable, if one
group requests for a set of documents and gets them, it doesn't necessarily
mean that a second group will be able to get them. If the government denies
they've got the documents that you are looking for, they may not be telling
the truth. It has been known for a government to deny that it has _any_
documents on an incident yet they release some a few months later.
FOO FIGHTERS Shiny metallic-looking sphere seen floating in the skies in
World War II from 1943 onwards. After the war, neither side claimed to have
sent them up there. The Americans called them "foo fighters", a term derived
from a comic-strip phrase "Where there's foo, there's fire."
--G--
GHOST ROCKETS In 1946, over two thousand UFOs were observed flying above
Scandinavia. They looked like missiles with a flame exhaust at one end, but
travelled at varying speeds (from very fast to fairly slow) and performed
various exotic manoeuvres at these speeds. There were reports at the time
that some had landed and exploded. Neither East nor West admitted launching
these rockets. Western scientists analysed fragments from these missiles and
said that they were made of an organic substance that resembled carbide.
When a Greek investigation publicly announced in 1967 that these were not
missiles, the investigation was ordered to close by the Army and further
information was covered in a blanket of secrecy.
GREYS The most common type of alien seen in CLOSE ENCOUNTER cases. Height
varies from two feet to five feet, are humanoid, and usually have black
bug-like eyes, little or no nose and a small slit for a mouth.

documented the worldwide government cover-up of UFO related material and
incidents. It also published the faked MJ-12 briefing document. Despite
that, it is widely regarded as _the_ book to read if you're seriously
interested in UFOs. "Alien Liaison" went one step further by dealing with
disinformation, CATTLE MUTILATIONS and the ROBERT LAZAR case, but is thought
of as fairly unreliable since parts of it were heavily influenced by the
claims in the MJ-12 documents, the claims of BILL MOORE, and also the claims
of BOB OESCHLER that he worked on a top secret project to produce an
exhibition called "Cosmic Journey" in which the US government was allegedly
going to display a preserved alien body and a section of a UFO. "Alien
Update" can be thought of as "UFO Report 1993" since it is in exactly the
same format as the other books in the "UFO Report" series.
GULF BREEZE SIGHTINGS A series of UFO sightings in Gulf Breeze, Florida that
have taken place since 1987, but the most concentrated period of sightings
was between November 1987 and May 1988 and were centred around Ed and
Frances Walters. During this period, Ed claims that aliens have attempted to
abduct both him and his wife using a blue ray, but failed. He also claims
that he knew when another encounter with a UFO was imminent because he would
feel a humming noise in his head. When he got this humming noise, he would
rush out with his camera and would take a picture of the UFO which would be
waiting for him in the sky. The Walters took a total of forty photos with
various cameras over that period and all of them were evaluated by various
scientists and were proved that they were not faked. The most impressive
photos included a blue ray that was used to transport people to and from the
UFOs, a UFO photographed that was partially obscured by a tree (very hard to
fake) and also the same UFO hovering above a highway with a reflection on
the road of the bright light on the underside of the UFO.
--H--
HILL ABDUCTION CASE A controversial abduction case, controversial because it
all hinges on information gained by performing HYPNOTIC REGRESSION on Betty
and Barney Hill. In September 1961, the Hills were returning from a holiday
and were driving along a New Hampshire road when they saw a bright light
moving rapidly in the sky. They stopped the car and got out to have a closer
look with binoculars. The light then reversed its direction and the couple
got back into their car and drove on. The light then turned back and
approached their car, so they stopped again to look at it. The craft was
coin shaped with blue lighted windows along the edge, through which they saw
figures running about. Barney walked over the road to get an even better
look when two wings came out of either side of the craft which had red
lights on the wing tips. He then got shocked and _very_ agitated and ran
back into the car and the two of them went back on their journey home. When
they got back, they realised that they were some two hours late and they
didn't know why. After a few days, Betty had a series of disturbing dreams
relating to a possible UFO abduction, so she and Barney agreed to go under
hypnotic regression to try and find out just _what_ happened during those
two lost hours. The two were sent into a hypnotic sleep both together and
separately, and both stories matched up with each other for the times when
they were together during the UFO incident. The story went like this: When
the Hills stopped the car the second time, it was because it was stalled by
the UFO. The two were helped out of their car by a few men (alien men) and
were taken off of the road and up a ramp into the UFO. They were then
separated and put into different rooms where they underwent an examination
involving taking samples from various areas of the body. Before being joined
together and being allowed to leave, Betty was shown a three-dimensional
holographic star map and was able to draw it out after a regression session.
An amateur astronomer took the drawing of the star map and searched through
the near stars to see if she could get a match for the star configuration
drawn by Betty. After another five years of searching, she found one, and
therefore calculated that the aliens must have come from the ZETA RETICULI
system.
HYNEK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM A system used to categorize the various types of
UFO sightings invented by Dr J. Allen Hynek. The categories are as
follows...
* NOCTURNAL LIGHT Any anomalous light(s) seen in the night sky whose
description rules out the possibilities of aircraft lights, stars,
meteors and the like.
* DAYLIGHT DISK UFOs seen in the distant daytime sky. The UFOs classed in
this category can be other shapes as well, like cigars, eggs and ovals.
* RADAR-VISUALS Where UFOs are tracked on radar and can be seen at the
place illustrated at the same time.
* CLOSE ENCOUNTERS...
o OF THE FIRST KIND (CEI) A UFO in close proximity (within approx
500 feet) of the witness.
o OF THE SECOND KIND (CEII) A UFO that leaves markings on the
ground, causes burns or paralysis to humans, frightens animals,

o OF THE THIRD KIND (CEIII) A CEI or CEII which have visible
occupants.
There are also two more unofficial classes of Close Encounter...
* OF THE FOURTH KIND (CEIV) Abduction cases.
* OF THE FIFTH KIND (CEV) Communication occurs between a person and an
alien.
HYPNOTIC REGRESSION There is a theory that everything you see and hear is
stored into the subconscious memory, and that it is possible to recount
experiences via the use of hypnotic regression, in which the person is sent
into a trance and re-enacts the experience. However, such a tool is very
unreliable since they could be thinking about something else or mix two
different experiences together. Another problem with hypnotic regression is
interpreting what is recounted. In a non-UFO related case, an English girl
was sent into a hypnotic state and started to talk non-stop in French. What
she said was recorded and the investigator concluded that the girl must have
been French in a past life. This theory was readily accepted until someone
read the transcription of what the girl had said and found that it was an
_exact_ copy of a French text she had read. It has also been found that
pathological liars can lie whilst under hypnosis.

LAZAR, ROBERT SCOTT Robert Lazar is a scientist with two masters degrees,
one in physics, the other in electronics. He wrote his thesis on
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). He has worked in Los Alamos as a technician and
then as a physicist in the Polarized Proton Section dealing with particle
accelerators. In his spare time, he has built a jet powered car _and_ a jet
powered motorbike (max. speed 350mph!), as well as a car capable of running
off of hydrogen. In March 1989, Lazar appeared on KLAS-TV in the US claiming
to have worked in an above Top Secret installation known as S-4, ten miles
south of AREA 51 in the Nevada desert. He was a scientist who was employed
between December 1988 and April 1989 to examine a captured flying saucer to
try and reverse engineer the saucer's propulsion mechanism. He claims that
there were nine different saucers at S-4, although he was only working on
one of them. He was told that the crafts used a propulsion system that uses
gravity waves, a theory that mainstream science hasn't discovered yet
(scientists don't know what gravity actually _is_, there are many theories,
but there hasn't been one that is universally accepted yet) and the energy
needed is supplied by irradiating Element 115, an element not found on Earth
and which cannot be synthesized. A kilogram of the element releases the same
amount of energy as 47 10-megaton hydrogen bombs. He says that he had 500
pounds (227.27kg) of the element to work with, but each craft only needed
223 grams of the element. Whilst working on one of the craft, he was allowed
to actually go inside the craft and he was also present at a test flight in
which the craft underwent a few simple manoeuvres in the air. When he went
public in March 1989, he appeared on US TV in shadow with his voice altered,
under the pseudonym "Dennis", an inside joke since his boss at S-4 was
called Dennis Mariani, in an attempt to remain anonymous. On 29/3/89 he took
three of his friends, one of them John Lear, to the edge of S-4 to observe
any UFO test flights through a telescope. They saw (and filmed) a bright
light rise in a step manoeuvre, that is, it would hover in the air, briefly
disappear and reappear a few feet higher, and then the light went down in
the same way. When they went again the following week on 6/4/89, they were
caught by a security guard. Their ID details were recorded on a computer in
Area 51 and they were ordered to leave the area, despite it being public
land. They did leave and the following day, Lazar was ordered to go to Area
51 for a meeting with some security guards and an FBI agent. It was then
that he resigned and left. After he was fired at whilst travelling on an
Interstate highway, he decided that he'd better go public on TV under his
own name, the theory being that if anyone kills him after going completely
public, then that action would prove that he was telling the truth. He went
on TV to tell the full story in November 1989 and his story has (to my
knowledge) remained consistent since then.

LEAR, JOHN The estranged son of Bill Lear, inventor of the Lear Jet. John
Lear is the only pilot who holds every airman certificate awarded by the
Federal Aviation Administration. He has flown over 160 different type of
aircraft and had flown many missions for the CIA. He is a friend of PAUL
BENNEWITZ who told Lear everything that he had heard from RICHARD DOTY and
WILLIAM MOORE and Lear believed most of it. Lear was also a friend of ROBERT
LAZAR who told him about the various goings on at AREA 51; Moore showed him
the various documents he had been given by Doty, and from those three
sources began work on his Lear Hypothesis, also known as the DARK SIDE
HYPOTHESIS. He then subscribed to Paranet and found a friend in BILL COOPER.
With Cooper's help, he finished his hypothesis and sent it to the Paranet
Bulletin Board. He then decided to test the UFO society by faking some
government documents about aliens, the Krlll (pronounced "Krill") Files. All
of the UFO society (but one) checked out the material included in the files
and found large inconsistencies and lies. The one person who didn't was
Cooper, who claimed to have seen the documents when he was working for the
government. When the files were declared as faked, Lear and Cooper were
barred from Paranet and the friendship between them broke down, Cooper
accusing Lear of being a government agent. Lear is now lecturing about his
Hypothesis.

MAJESTIC The highest security level known, higher than the Atom Bomb and
effectively thirty-eight levels higher than Top Secret due to the
compartmentalization of information. There are allegedly over thirty
compartments of Top Secret which means that if you have a Top Secret
clearance, it doesn't mean that you have access to all Top Secret documents,
you must require the "need to know". Documents that require the "need to
know" are classified as Top Secret xxx, where xxx can be any one of over
thirty code names. Documents about S-4/AREA 51 happenings are classed as
"Majestic".
MANOEUVRE (MA RATING) See VALLEE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
MEN IN BLACK (MIBs) These are people who dress up in black suits and travel
around in sleek shiny black cars and helicopters threatening UFO witnesses,
to keep them quiet about their experiences. No one is quite sure who the
MIBs are or who they represent, the government or the aliens.
MISSING TIME Some people say that when they return from a UFO sighting, they
found that a period of time had passed which he or she couldn't account for.
This can be minutes, hours, or even days which are unaccounted for. This is
the phenomena of missing time.
MJ-12 The MJ-12 (standing for "Majestic Twelve") mystery was sparked off
with the 1987 publication of an alleged briefing document from ex-US
President Truman to President-Elect Eisenhower in November 1953. The
document dealt with government knowledge about UFOs, aliens, and above Top
Secret projects. It listed the twelve members as Dr Lloyd Berkner, Dr Detlev
Bronk, Dr Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, Gordon Gray, Vice Admiral Roscoe
Hillenkoetter, Dr Jerome Hunsaker, Dr Donald Menzel, General Robert
Montague, Rear Admiral Sidney Souers, General Nathan Twining and General
Hoyt Vandenberg. James Forrestal had a mental breakdown and committed
suicide in 1949 and was replaced by General Walter Smith. MJ-12 (also known
as Majic-12, Majority-12, Majesty-12) is allegedly a Top Secret research and
development/intelligence operation set up by and answerable to the US
President. All thirteen members had died by the time the briefing document
was publicised, so none of the details could be checked out. What could be
verified was the document's authenticity, and when it was found that the
signature on the briefing document was identical in ratio to a 1947 memo
from President Truman to Vannevar Bush and the briefing document was proved
to be a fake. However the MJ-12 controversy still rumbled on with people
saying that although the document has been proved to be a piece of
DISINFORMATION, parts of it must therefore be true. The document touched
upon the ROSWELL CASE, as well as PROJECTS SIGN, GRUDGE and BLUE BOOK and
KENNETH ARNOLD's sighting of nine flying saucers, all of which have been
proved to be true by UFO researchers. Ufologists were split as to whether
there _ever_was_ a Majestic 12. When ROBERT LAZAR revealed that his work was
classified as MAJESTIC, it added weight to the opinion that there may have
indeed been such an organisation. Opinions differ as to what MJ-12 could be
if it exists, some say it was a simple committee that evaluated the UFO
reports that were siphoned out of PROJECT BLUE BOOK, while others say that
they are running the CIA, FBI, the world's drugs market and are planning to
take over the world and rule in partnership with the GREYS.

profession in 1979 and was very involved in an investigation of the 1947

the APRO board. He learnt about PAUL BENNEWITZ's claims from fellow board
member Jim Lorenzen, but didn't take too great an interest in the case.
Whilst he was on a promotional radio show tour promoting his new book "The
Roswell Incident", he received phone calls, at two different radio stations,
from a nearby Air Force Base sergeant who wanted to meet him. When the first
call came, he was too busy, but after the second call, they arranged a
meeting and there he met RICHARD DOTY. Doty told him that he (and nine other
military people, all ten identified by names of birds) would tell him
various "facts" of what the US government was up to in regard to UFOs if he
spied on APRO and passed DISINFORMATION on to Paul Bennewitz. Moore complied
and was exposed to various Top Secret documents about highly sensitive
government projects, including PROJECTS SIGMA, REDLIGHT, AQUARIUS, GALILEO,
POUNCE and SNOWBIRD. In return, Moore gave Bennewitz doctored documents
given to him by Doty. Moore learnt that the US government had indeed worked
with aliens in advancing US space technology, and that three EBEs had been
kept in various Air Force Bases. In October 1988, Moore went public on the
TV show "UFO Cover-Up...Live" with "FALCON" and "CONDOR" who would tell the
same stories that they had told Moore. That show was considered to be the
most farcical embarrassment ever broadcast due to the fact that the
informant's revelations included declarations that the aliens liked Tibetian
style music and strawberry ice cream. Moore was devastated, and in the 1989
MUFON annual conference, he confessed that he had passed on disinformation
from Doty to Bennewitz in order to investigate deeper into the UFO riddle
and revealed that he had spied on various personalties in ufology.

OESCHLER, ROBERT Bob Oeschler joined the US Air Force in 1968 in the
American Forces Radio and Television service filming classified prototype
weapons systems during the Vietnam War. When he returned to the US, he spent
eighteen months at Wright-Patterson AFB before working for NASA,
specializing in missions technical analysis as a prototype designer of
control and mobile surveillance systems. He gets his information from his
alleged contacts in the US Intelligence Community. A controversial
character, his work in ufology seems to be OK, even though he has made the
odd wild claim. He has claimed to have worked on a government project called
"Cosmic Journey" which was an exhibition of the various US space missions
and included a section on aliens. He claims that there was going to be a UFO
in the exhibition along with a cryogenically preserved alien body. This
project was then shelved indefinitely due to the 1988 US presidential
election. Then, in October 1993, he gave a radio interview on BBC Radio One
and claimed that he had observed a UFO from 200 feet in the Nevada desert
and basically hijacked ROBERT LAZAR's story, claiming that everything Lazar
heard and saw, he heard and saw too. In other words, whilst his UFO
investigations work is very good (he did a very thorough and professional
analysis of the GULF BREEZE photos with Bruce Maccabee), his claims of
secret government projects are very suspect.

PARANET Paranet is a moderated forum founded by Jim Spieser in 1986
originally dedicated to the paranormal as well as UFOs, although the UFO
side grabbed the most attention. Originally distributed as a newsletter via
E-mail, it now consists of a set of newsgroups on Usenet. It was the first
organisation that spread news of the ROBERT LAZAR story around the world and
was also the forum in which MILTON WILLIAM COOPER made his debut and his
reputation as a person not to be trusted.
PROJECT...
* AQUARIUS A Top Secret project that was started in 1953 and was set up
to accumulate as much data as possible about alien life forms and to
distribute the collected information to the relevant projects. Its
existence was revealed by WILLIAM MOORE when he released three pages of
a "Project Aquarius Executive Briefing Document" to the public.
Unfortunately for Moore, this document is now thought to be a fake due
to its sloppy presentation (there was a logo on the cover which looked
like it had been drawn on with a felt-tip pen) as well as missing
background detail. Moore was asked to release more proof that Project
Aquarius existed, but he refused, saying that the burden of proof is on
those saying that the document is a hoax.

and something of a controversial one, which started in March 1952. Its
aims were to find explanations for UFO sightings, to assess whether
they were a threat to national security, and to determine if the UFOs
used advanced technology from which the US could learn. Reports were
collected, analyzed and filed according to their results. No-one
noticed anything was wrong with the project until one of the people on
the investigation team sent in his own sighting. It was filed, but when
he wanted to refer back to his report, it had disappeared. He then
alleged that any reports that were both unexplained and could cause
public uproar were siphoned off out of Blue Book to somewhere else
higher up in authority, a claim that ufologists now see as fact. Blue
Book was wound up in 1969 as a result of the CONDON REPORT and one of
its investigators, Dr J. Allen Hynek, went on to form the first
scientific based UFO group, the Center for UFO Studies, in 1973.
* GALILEO An S-4 project dealing with flying recovered discs.
* GRUDGE The successor to PROJECT SIGN which was launched to effectively
denounce the UFO problem. Journalists were encouraged to write articles
saying that UFOs didn't exist. The final report said that, despite
getting 23% more reports than Project Sign did, all sightings could be
dismissed on psychological ground and that any further investigation
should be downgraded greatly, which it was. Project Grudge was shut
down in 1950.
* POUNCE A Top Secret project in 1953 that evaluated all UFOs in order to
gain more space technology knowledge.
* SIGMA An ongoing 1954 Top Secret project that looked into how to
communicate with aliens. That projects existence was revealed in the
PROJECT AQUARIUS Briefing Document and is said to have succeeded in
1964 when a USAF intelligence officer met two other aliens at a
prearranged location in a desert in New Mexico. However, there is a
"Project Sigma" listed in the 1986 Defence Marketing Services Code Name
Directory as a "Top Secret Air Force program involving Rockwell
International" and has been officially identified as a laser weapons
project.
* SIGN The first official USAF UFO investigation which started in January
1948. Its brief was to determine what UFOs were. It lasted until
February 1949, its final report saying that 20% of the cases were
unexplainable.
* SNOWBIRD An ongoing 1972 Top Secret project that researched, developed
and implemented alien spacecraft technology and test flown recovered
UFOs. It is possible that the UFO involved in the CASH/LANDRUM CASE was
built by the Americans as part of this project, however another
"Project Snowbird" has been found described as a "Joint Army/Air Force
peacetime military exercise in the sub-arctic region in 1955" in the
1963 Gale Research's Code Names Dictionary. Project Snowbird is another
project that was only revealed in the PROJECT AQUARIUS Briefing
Document.
* TWINKLE A highly secret study into green fireballs seen in New Mexico.
By the time an investigator arrived at a scene where fireballs had been
observed, they would have disappeared so they couldn't be investigated
properly, and Project Twinkle was shut down. It was thought that since
the fireballs moved to another location before investigators came onto
the scene, the fireballs were controlled by some intelligence.

ROSWELL CASE In July 1947 a flying saucer crashed near Corona, New Mexico
during a violent night-time thunderstorm. The next morning, Mac Brazel found
some wreckage on his ranch spread over about half a mile which neither he
nor his family could identify. Three days later he took some wreckage to
show to the local sheriff, George Wilcox, who in turn contacted Roswell Air
Army Field and told Major Jesse Marcel of the situation. He inspected the
wreckage that Mac Brazel had brought with him to the sheriffs office and
then reported to his commanding officer, William Blanchard. He ordered
Marcel to get someone (Sheridan Cavitt) from counter intelligence to collect
as much wreckage from Brazels ranch as they could onto their two vehicles,
the wreckage was then collected and flown to Washington, via Fort Worth. The
next day, Marcel and Cavitt returned to Brazels ranch to collect more
wreckage to take back to Roswell AAF. Cavitt went straight there whereas
Marcel stopped on the way to show his family some of the wreckage, in
particular, a small piece of tin-foil like material which would bend and be
folded quite happily, but would continually fold back out into shape leaving
no crease whatsoever. There was also a piece of very light plastic like
material, except it wasn't plastic. It was like a wooden dowel and was a
couple of inches long. It would bend slightly, but you couldn't scratch,
cut, burn or melt it. Meanwhile, Lydia Sleppy at Roswell Radio station KSWS
was transmitting a story about the crashed saucer over the teletype when
transmission was interrupted by someone claiming to represent the FBI. The
Army initially released a story to the press saying that they had captured a

flying saucer, but then quickly put out another story saying they hadn't got
a saucer, just a weather balloon. It was _not_ a weather balloon. Mac Brazel
was placed under house arrest for a week whilst his ranch was combed for
more debris, and it was then when the main saucer body was found, complete
with four aliens, two dead, one seriously injured and another attending to

S-4 There are three S-4s in the Nevada Test Site (home of AREA 51). One is a
nuclear reactor, one is an area just south of the Tonopah test range, and
one called Papoose Dry Lake Bed, ten miles south of Area 51. It is the
latter area that ROBERT LAZAR claims to have worked in.
SAGAN, CARL An American who brought science to the public. He is also a
major UFO skeptic believing that no UFO can cross light years of distance
due to the large amount of fuel and time needed. This theory assumes that
the only method of travel is linear and that the maximum speed of any
vehicle must be the speed of light. ROBERT LAZAR has since claimed that an
alternative method of travel using gravity waves is what is being used to
drive the UFOs.
SETI The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. This is a US
government-funded project that monitors electromagnetic wave emissions from
space. These emissions, it is claimed, will be the communications between
various UFOs that "leak" out, just like TV pictures from a transmitter are
able to be picked up from space (in theory). If they detect any abnormal
emissions, they will investigate them further to try and find out where they
originate from. UFO researchers are very skeptical of this project, saying
it is just a front put up to try and publicly "prove" that UFOs don't exist
since they don't expect to find any emissions that cannot be identified.
According to an article by Dr. Pierre Guerin in "FLYING SAUCER REVIEW", the
government already _knows_ that aliens exist and that they are cooperating
with them and that they know that the aliens _don't_ use electromagnetic
waves at all. It would be similar to trying to detect Indian smoke signals
using a radio receiver. The SETI project was given the order to close down
by US Congress in October 1993 due to budget cuts. It wasn't a success.

VIMANAS Flying devices are commonplace in many religions, and Hinduism is no
exception. According to ancient Sanskrit texts found a few years ago by
Westerners in a South Indian temple, Vimanas were open topped flying
devices, not strictly UFOs since they were restricted to the Earth's
atmosphere. Dr Roberto Pinotti is an Italian scientist, and on the 12th of
October 1988 was a speaker in the World Space Conference in Bangalore,
India. He referred to several Hindu texts and pointed out that Indian gods
and heroes fought in the skies using piloted vehicles armed with weapons.
These weapons consisted of seven different types of mirrors and lenses which
were used for offensive and defensive purposes. The "Pinjula Mirror" offered
a form of "visual shield" preventing the pilots from "evil rays", and the
weapon named "Marika" was used to shoot enemy aircraft. Dr Pinotti said that
these weapons "do not seem to be too different from what we today call laser
technology." The vehicles themselves were made of special heat absorbing
metals, called "Somaka, Soundalike and Mourthwika". According to Dr Pinotti,
the "principles of propulsion as far as the descriptions were concerned,

might be defined as electrical and chemical, but solar energy was involved
as well." Other scientists have put forward the theory that the craft were
driven by some sort of mercury ion propulsion system. Dr Pinotti concluded
that the fact that Vimanas were written about hundreds, perhaps even
thousands, of years ago, plus that they resembled modern UFOs would suggest
that India had a "...superior but forgotten civilisation. In the light of
this, we think it will be better to examine the Hindu texts and subject the
descriptive models of Vimanas to more scientific scrutiny." "So where does
the ET connection come in?" you're asking me. Well, since the texts were
written hundreds or even thousands of years ago, we can safely assume that
no human civilization could produce _any_ flying machines, but these Vimanas
_did_ exist, along with a mercury ion propulsion system and a form of laser
technology, so where could they get the ideas for these devices from? Enter
some ET influences and you're away. But that leads us to the question of
"where did all this new technology go?" We don't know, but since the texts
exist and the properties of the Vimanas have been proved to be possible by
scientists, we know that they did exist.

TRAVIS WALTON ABDUCTION CASE In November 1975, a group of six tree-trimmers
were driving home from work in a truck in the Sitgreave-Apache National
Forest in Arizona, USA. The driver stopped the truck when he noticed that a
flying saucer was hovering about fifteen feet above some nearby trees.
Travis Walton approached the craft on foot, despite the objections of his
workmates. He was then knocked to the ground by a blue and white light. When
the men in the truck saw this, they were terrified and sped off down the
road leaving him for dead. Once they had calmed down, they returned to that
spot and couldn't find any sign of Travis or the flying saucer. Five days
later, Travis was returned to earth wondering what had happened to him for
the past few days. He found out by undergoing HYPNOTIC REGRESSION, the same
technique that was used in the HILL ABDUCTION CASE. This is what the
regression revealed: When he came to after being knocked out by the blue and
white light, he was lying on his back on a table in what he thought was a
hospital. It was _not_ a hospital, a fact that was brought home to him when
he focused on three figures standing around him. These were aliens, Travis
described them as looking like 5-foot foetuses with mushroom-white skin and
they wore tight-fitting, tan-brown robes. On seeing this, Travis got _very_
scared and tried to attack them, but they just backed off into another room,
leaving Travis alone, so he started to walk around. He walked into a
separate room and saw a large backed chair in the centre of it with a few
buttons on one arm of the chair and a lever on the other. He played about
with those and the ship responded to some of his actions. A more
human-looking alien wearing a helmet then walked in and took him for a
guided tour of the ship, ignoring any questions that Travis asked him. They
then walked into a hangar containing three other saucers and was met by
three other human-like aliens, two men and a woman. Travis was then put onto
a table and a mask was put over his face. The next thing he remembered he
was waking up on a pavement in a village a few miles away from his home
watching the saucer move off silently.

ZETA RETICULI A binary star system that is roughly 37 light years away from
Earth. The aliens that abducted Betty and Barney Hill (see HILL ABDUCTION
CASE) were calculated to come from a planet in this system, and ROBERT LAZAR
claimed that the nine UFOs he saw in S-4 came from one of the planets in the
Zeta Reticuli star system.

APPENDIX II
What to do if you see a UFO.
1. Scream. Honestly! This will attract the people around you who will wonder
what you're screaming about. You then point out the UFO to them and you
instantly gain a few back-up witnesses to the sighting. Sightings which have
only one witness carries very little weight, but one reported by two
independent witnesses adds a lot of credibility to a UFO sighting.
2. If you have a camera, try and take a few pictures. The best photos of
UFOs have background and foreground details in the shot, try not to just
photograph it in the sky. This enables the investigator to give a better
estimate of the size of the UFO.
3. Write down what you saw as soon as possible. Draw a sketch of it and show
where any lights were positioned on the craft. Also describe the path it
flew.
4. If the UFO landed on the ground or even just scraped it for a seconds,
try and stop anybody from getting near the area. If you have a camera,
photograph the area.
5. REPORT the sighting AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This allows the UFO investigator
to interview the witnesses whilst the memory of the event is still fresh.
If the sighting was in the UK, write to the BUFORA Director Of
investigations at :
B.M. BUFORA,
London,
WC1N 3XX.
If you live in the US, you can contact CUFOS at :
The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies,

Last Word the First
OK, you've read the Guide, now what? Read other books, do a little research
of your own. There's a lot of books on UFOs with quite different views as to
what UFOs are and why aliens are here. Read up on these ideas and hypotheses
and decide for yourself which one is the most appropriate or realistic. I
deliberately missed out the various hypotheses from the Guide, I believe
that the reader ought to decide for his/herself what is really going on.
There are also so many different hypotheses that I don't think that I would
do them any justice. Personally, I believe in the extra-terrestrial
hypothesis as to the origin of aliens, mainly because that is the most

understandable and what I think is the most realistic scenario there is at
this time.
One more thing : If any of the stories that you read in this Guide or in any
other book disturbs you, read or watch some comedy science-fiction. I
recommend Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy" trilogy and "Red
Dwarf". They put things into perspective a little and help you see the
lighter side of them!
Nick Humphries, December 1993.
Last Word the Second
Many thanks for all the feedback from the First Edition of the Guide.
Unfortunately I missed a few messages because my site went down for three
days a couple of hours after I uploaded it, hopefully that won't happen
again since that's the way conspiracy theories get created! Now to
contradict what I said in the First Last Word. In the next edition I want to
include the various hypotheses about where UFOs come from. I'm not talking
about conspiracy theories, I think I've covered that properly already,
theories like the Interdimensional Hypothesis, the Ultradimensional
Hypothesis too, and the Hollow Earth Theory will also get a look in. If
anyone wants to send me any details about any hypothesis via E-Mail, please
do! If you think this edition of The UFO Guide is good, the next one will be
even better! Nick Humphries, February 1994.
