Another irony that Petraeus’ downfall reveals is that some of us who egotistically thought our coverage of Petraeus and counterinsurgency was so sophisticated were perpetuating myths without fully realizing it. Still, the former Pentagon official told me, “it wasn’t until August of 2020 that the effort was really real.” That month, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, David Norquist, publicly announced the existence of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, whose report is anticipated in June. The Intelligence Authorization Act finally passed in December. The former Pentagon official worries that an appetite for disclosure has been heedlessly stoked. “The public, I would hope, doesn’t expect to see the crown jewels,” he said. Iraq war that resulted in part from policymakers mining raw reports for evidence to suit their pet theories. That there was a cover-up regarding the true events of the Rendlesham Forest incident is, at least in UFO circles, beyond any reasonable doubt. The amount of whistle-blower testimony. The Halt Memorandum. And such information as that volunteered by Clifford Stone would all point to such a cover-up. Some aficionados believe that U.F.O.s have been documented since Biblical times; in “ The Spaceships of Ezekiel,” published in 1974, Josef F. Blumrich, a NASA engineer, argued that the prophet’s heavenly vision of wheels within wheels was an encounter not with God but with an alien spaceship. In “ The UFO Controversy in America” (1975), David Jacobs wrote about a series of “airship” sightings across the country in 1896 and 1897. Spaceships, in our descriptions, have always displayed capabilities just beyond our technological horizon, and with our own wartime advances they grew staggeringly impressive. It’s generally agreed that the modern U.F.O. era began on June 24, 1947, when a private aviator named Kenneth Arnold, while flying a CallAir A-2, saw a loose formation of nine undulating objects near Mt. Rainier. They had the shape of boomerangs or tailless manta rays, and in his estimation they moved at two to three times the speed of sound. He described their motion as that of a “saucer skipped over water.” A newspaper headline conjured “flying saucers.” By the end of the year, at least eight hundred and fifty similar domestic sightings had been reported, according to one independent U.F.O. investigator. Meanwhile, scientists asserted that flying saucers didn’t exist because they couldn’t exist. The Times quoted Gordon Atwater, an astronomer at the Hayden Planetarium, who attributed the flurry of reports to a combination of a “mild case of meteorological jitters” and “mass hypnosis.”

Scully never retracted his story. He was especially critical of the “Pentagonians” and the tactics used against him. Today we would call it COINTELPRO. But it resulted in a somewhat sensational court conviction. Two of Scully’s sources, Silas Newton and Leo GeBauer were convicted of oil lease fraud. They were punished with probation and Court costs. The Establishment considered it a victory that proved Scully’s book was a hoax.

Marcus Lowth is a writer with a love for UFOs, aliens, and the Ancient Astronaut Theory, to the paranormal, general conspiracies, and unsolved mysteries. He has been writing and researching with over 20 years of experience. Believing a small plane or a helicopter had made an emergency landing, or even crashed, they would seek permission from their superior to investigate, which was duly granted. Both Burroughs, Penniston, and Airman First Class Cabansag would take to their military-style jeep and ventured into the trees to find out what this strange light was. As the terrain of the woodland became more and more unforgiving, though, the three-man unit would abandon their vehicle. Incidentally, following the making of the film, Simpson would state it was his firm belief that the official story of the Rendlesham case is unlikely to be accurate. He would state that: The time was now 4:15 pm. Disappointed Good would forget the incident. That was until the following day when a reporter, Russel Bowie, from The Kentish Times telephoned him.

None of this is to say that Petraeus was actually a crappy officer whom the press turned into a genius. In her best-selling book, “ UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record,” published in 2010 by an imprint of Random House, Kean wrote that “the U.S. government routinely ignores UFOs and, when pressed, issues false explanations. Its indifference and/or dismissals are irresponsible, disrespectful to credible, often expert witnesses, and potentially dangerous.” Her book is a sweeping reminder that this was not always the case. In the decades after the Second World War, about half of all Americans, including many in power, accepted U.F.O.s as a matter of course. Kean sees herself as a custodian of this lost history. In her apartment, a tranquil space decorated with a Burmese Buddha and bowls of pearlescent seashells, Kean sat down on the floor, opened her file cabinets, and disappeared into a drift of declassified memos, barely legible teletypes, and yellowing copies of The Saturday Evening Post and the Times Magazine featuring flying-saucer covers and long, serious treatments of the phenomenon. Marcus has been Editor-in-Chief for several years due to his excellent knowledge in these fields. Marcus also regularly appears as an expert on radio talk shows including Troubled Minds and Unexplained Radio discussing these topics. Penniston would later recall how, despite not seeing any physical occupants inside the craft, he had the bizarre “feeling” that something alive was very much inside it. And that something was very much intelligent. Throughout the entire episode, Penniston would make notes in his logbook. It is an item that he still has in his possession today and allows us to appreciate just what was taking place in Sussex over the Christmas holiday in 1980. He would recall, as he made notes of the sheer speed of the craft that: Alfred O’Donnell is nearly 89 years old and he is one of Annie Jacobsen’s key sources about this Roswell crash story “interpretation.” O’Donnell is indeed exactly who he claims to have been. In the early 1950’s he was at the “Nevada

It’s coming this way. It’s definitely coming this way. Pieces of it are shooting off. There is no doubt about it. This is weird…now we are observing what appears to be a beam coming down to the ground. This is unreal! Wendelle Stevens worked with Steinman as co-author. Stevens was a WWII vet, who chased UFO’s in Alaska after the war. Stevens commanded a unit of B-29 aircraft in Alaska. They were loaded with cameras and other detection equipment and made frequent patrols. About once a week, something of the Unidentified variety was identified and recorded. The data obtained was forwarded and remains secret. The following day, at least according to Scurrah, several mystery high-ranking military types arrived at the base. They would take all of the radar tapes and logs from the previous evening. Perhaps even more suspicious was the sudden posting of another “high-ranking RAF personnel” to the base. WIRED decided to debunk the 1950 FBI memo to J Edgar Hoover, “What the FBI’s UFO Memo Shows About American Intelligence”. The memo says that three vehicles with advanced technology crashed in New Mexico. The dead occupants were not exactly human. Hopefully they were not neo-cons.

An example of the Binary written by the witnesses The Importance Of Charles Halt’s Sighting And Memorandum Perhaps unsurprisingly for a Pentagon project that had begun as a contractor’s investigation into goblins and werewolves, and had been reincarnated under the aegis of a musician best known for an album called “Enema of the State,” AATIP was subject to intense scrutiny. Kean is unwavering in her belief that she and an insider exposed something formidable, but a former Pentagon official recently suggested that the story was more complicated: the program she disclosed was of little consequence compared with the one she set in motion. Widespread fascination with the idea that the government cared about U.F.O.s had inspired the government at last to care about U.F.O.s. And if UFOs are your thing, then, “Go on believing in UFOs if that’s your thing.” If General Petraeus is your thing, then join the Petraeus cult. A cult is a religion usually based on special secret knowledge, and worship of a charismatic leader.In 1983, through a Freedom of Information request, Halt’s memo would find its way into the public domain. Once UFO researchers had examined it for the extremely rich content that it contains, Halt was dragged into the limelight somewhat. Ten months later, David Clarke, a known U.F.O. skeptic, along with three collaborators, published an audit. The “Report on Aerial Phenomena Observed Near the Channel Islands, UK, April 23 2007” was drafted with the coöperation of dozens of domain experts—meteorologists, oceanographers, harbormasters—and various French institutes and British ministries, and it culminated with sixteen prevailing hypotheses, ranked by plausibility. Largely ruled out were such atmospheric aberrations as sun dogs and lenticular clouds, and an exceedingly rare and poorly understood seismological phenomenon known as “earthquake lights,” in which tectonic distress expresses itself in bluish auroras or orbs. The report concluded, “In summary, we are unable to explain the UAP sightings satisfactorily.” Sgt. Stone claims, “What happened here in July 1947 in Roswell was in fact the crash of two or more unidentified flying objects… We positively confirmed that they were interplanetary craft from some other place within our galaxy. They did not originate in our solar system. There were also bodies. We recovered the d Highly recommended.

Clifford Stone served for 22 years with the US Army, during which he was called away on multiple assignments with covert US Air Force programs called Project Moondust and Bluefly. Stone was trained to be part of an advance team that would enter crashed spacecraft to communicate and render first aid to the extraterrestrial occupants.

But, in throwing up its hands and granting that there are things it simply cannot figure out, it has relaxed its grip on the taboo. For many, this has been a comfort. In March, I spoke with a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force who said that about a decade ago, during combat, he had an extended encounter with a U.F.O., one that registered on two of his plane’s sensors. For all the usual reasons, he had never officially reported the sighting, but every once in a while he’d bring a close friend into his confidence over a beer. He did not want to be named. “Why am I telling you this story?” he asked. “I guess I just want this data out there—hopefully this helps somebody else somehow.” Clifford Stone explains the meaning of "let no one live in your mind rent free", shows documents from the NASA advanced propulsion concepts program, discusses designs for a flying disc, and sets goals for the next generation of UFO researchers. If there was a cover-up of some kind by the US military, and possibly even the British government and armed forces in sympathy with their American guests, then we have to ask why? Was it merely a case of not wishing to admit that the skies overhead are not as protected as we might think?
