INTRO The following is a "working hypothesis" written by John Lear on December 29, 1987, and revised on January 14 and again in March. This revision is dated August 25, 1988. John Lear is a Lockheed L-1011 captain for a major US airline and has flown over 160 different types of aircraft in over 50 different countries. He holds 17 world speed records in the Lear Jet and is the only pilot ever to hold every airman certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. Mr. Lear has flown missions worldwide for the CIA and other government agencies. A former Nevada State Senator candidate, he is the son of William P. Lear, designer of the Lear Jet, the 8-track stereo and founder of Lear Seigler Corporation. Lear became interested in UFO's in the summer of 1986 after talking with United States Air Force personnel who had witnessed a UFO landing at Bentwaters Air Force Base, near London, England, and three small aliens walking up to Wing Commander General Gordon Williams. August 25, 1988 THE UFO COVERUP by John Lear The sun does not revolve around the earth. The United States government has been in business with little gray extraterrestrials for about 20 years. The first truth state here got Giordano Bruno burned at the stake in 1600 for daring to propose it was real. The second truth has gotten far more people killed trying to state it publicly than will ever be known. But the truth must be told. The fact that the earth revolves around the sun was successfully suppressed by the church for over 200 years. It eventually caused a major upheaval in the church, government and thought. A realignment of social and traditional values. That was in the 1800's. Now, about 400 years after the first truth was pronounced we must again face the shocking facts. The "horrible truth" the government has been hiding from us for over 40 years. Unfortunately, the "horrible truth" is far more horrible than the government has imagined. In its effort to protect democracy our government sold us to the aliens. And here is how it happened. But before I begin I'd like to offer a word in the defense of those who bargained us away. They had the best of intentions. Germany may have recovered a flying saucer in 1939. General James H. Doolittle went to Sweden in 1946 to investigate reports of "ghost rockets" (UFO's), thousands of which had been sighted over a seven month period. The "horrible truth" was known by only a very few persons; they were indeed ugly little creatures, shaped like praying mantises and were more advanced than us by perhaps a billion years. Of the original group that were the first to learn the "horrible truth" several committed suicide, the most prominent of which was Defense Secretary James V. Forrestal, who jumped to his death from a 16th- story hospital window. Secretary Forrestal's medical records are sealed to this day. President Truman quickly put a lid on the secret and turned the screws so tight that the general public still thinks that flying saucers are a joke. Have I ever got a surprise for them. In 1947 President Truman established a group of 12 twelve top military and scientific personnel of their time. They were known as MJ-12. Although the group exists today, none of the original members are still alive. The last one to die was Gordon Gray, former Secretary of the Army, in 1984. As each member passed away, the group itself appointed a new member to fill the position. There is some speculation that the group known as MJ-12 expanded to at least several more members. There were several more saucer crashes in the late 1940's: one in Roswell, Mew Mexico; one in Aztec, New Mexico; and one near Laredo, Texas, about 30 miles inside the Mexican border. Consider if you will the position of the United States government at that time. They proudly thought of themselves as the most powerful nation on earth, having recently produced the atomic bomb, an achievement so stupendous that it would take Russia four years to catch up and only with the help of traitors to democracy. They had built a jet aircraft that had exceeded the speed of sound in flight. They had built jet bombers with intercontinental range that could carry weapons of enormous destruction. The post-war era had brought economic prosperity and the future seemed bright. Now imagine what it was like for those same leaders, all of whom had witnessed the panic of Orson Welle's radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" in 1938. Thousands of Americans panicked at a realistically presented invasion of earth by beings from another planet. Imagine their horror as they actually viewed the dead bodies of these frightening-looking little creatures with enormous eyes, reptilian skin and claw-like fingers. Imagine their shock as they attempted to determine how these strange saucers were powered and could discover no part even remotely similar to components they were familiar with: no cylinders and pistons, no vacuum tubes or turbines or hydraulic actuators. It is only when you fully understand the overwhelming helplessness the government was faced with in the late 40's that you can comprehend their perceived need for a total, thorough and sweeping cover-up to include the use of "deadly force." The cover-up was so successful that as late as 1985 a senior scientist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dr. Al Hibbs, would look at videotape of an enormous saucer and state for the record, "I'm not going to assign anything to that (UFO) phenomena without a lot more data." Dr. Hibbs was looking at the naked emperor and saying, "He certainly looks naked, but that doesn't prove he is naked." In July of 1952 a panicked government watched helplessly as squadrons of "flying saucers" flew over Washington, D.C., and buzzed the White House, the Capitol Building and the Pentagon. It took all the imagination and intimidation the government could muster to force that incident out of the memory of the public. Thousands of sightings occurred during the Korean War and several more saucers were retrieved by the Air Force. Some were stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, some were stored at Air Force Bases near the location of the crash sites. One saucer was so enormous and the logistical problems in transportation so enormous that it was buried at the crash site and remains there today. The stories are legendary on transporting crashed saucers over long distances, moving only at night, purchasing complete farms, slashing through forests, blocking major highways, sometimes driving two and three low-boys in tandem with an extraterrestrial load a hundred feet in diameter. On April 25, 1964, the first official communication between these aliens and the U.S. government took place at Hollomon Air Force Base in New Mexico. Three saucers landed at a pre-arranged area and a meeting was held between the aliens and intelligence officers of the U.S. government. During the late 60's or early 70's MJ-12, representing the U.S. government, made a deal with these creatures called EBE's (extra- terrestrial biological entities, named by Detley Bronk, original MJ-12 member and sixth president of Johns Hopkins University). The "deal" was that in exchange for "technology" that they would provide to us we agreed to "ignore" the abductions that were going on and suppress information on the cattle mutilations. The EBE's assured MJ-12 that the abductions (usually lasting about two hours) were merely the ongoing monitoring of developing civilizations. In fact, the purposes for the abductions turned out to be: (1) Insertion of a 3mm spherical device through the nasal cavity of the abductee into the brain. The device is used for the biological monitoring, tracking and control of the abductee. (2) Implementation of post-hypnotic suggestion to carry out a specific activity during a specific time period, the actuation of which will occur within the next two to five years. (3) Termination of some people so that they could function as sources of biological materials and substances. (4) Termination of individuals who represent a threat to the continuation of their activity. (5) Effect genetic engineering experiments. (6) Impregnation of human females and early termination of pregnancies to secure the crossbred infant. The U.S. government was not initially aware of the far-reaching consequences of their "deal." They were led to believe that the abductions were essentially benign and since they figured the abductions would probably go on anyway whether or not they agreed, they merely insisted that a current list of abductees be submitted, on a periodic basis, to MJ-12 and the National Security Council. Does this sound incredible? An actual list of abductees sent to the National Security Council? Read on, because I have news for you. The EBE's have a genetic disorder in that their digestive system is atrophied and not functional. Some speculate that they were involved in some type of accident or nuclear war, or that they are possibly on the back side of an evolutionary genetic curve. In order to sustain themselves, they use an enzyme or hormonal secretion obtained from the tissue they extract from humans and animals. (Note: Cows and humans are genetically similar. In the event of a national disaster cow hemoglobin can be used by humans.) The secretions obtained are then mixed with hydrogen peroxide and applied on their skin by spreading or dipping parts of their bodies in the solution. The body absorbs the solution and then excretes the waste back out through the skin. The cattle mutilations, prevalent throughout the period 1973-1983 and publicly noted through newspaper and magazine stories and a documentary produced by Linda Howe for the Denver CBS affiliate KMGH, were for the collection of these tissues by the aliens. The mutilations included genitals taken, rectums cored out to the colon, eyes, tongue and throat all surgically removed with extreme precision. In some cases the incisions were made by cutting between the cells, a process we are not yet capable of performing the field. In many of the mutilations there was no blood found at all in the carcasses, yet there was no vascular collapse of the internal organs. This has also been noted in human mutilations. One of the first known mutilations was of Sgt. Jonathon P. Louette. His remains were discovered at the White Sands Missile Test Range in 1956, three days after an Air Force Major witnessed his abduction by a "disk-shaped" object at 0300 while on a search for missile debris downrange. His genitals has been removed, rectum cored out in a surgically precise "plug" up to the colon, eyes removed and all blood removed, again, with no vascular collapse. From some of the evidence it is apparent that this surgery is accomplished, in most cases, while the victim, animal or human, is still alive. The various parts of the body are taken to various underground laboratories, one of which is known to be near the small New Mexico town of Dulce. This jointly occupied (CIA-alien) facility has been described as enormous, with huge tiles that "go on forever." Witnesses have reported huge vats filled with an amber liquid with parts of human bodies being stirred inside. After the initial agreement, Groom Lake, one of this nation's most secret test centers, was closed for a period of about a year sometime between 1972 and 1974, and a huge underground facility was constructed for and with the help of the EBE's. The bargained-for technology was set in place but could only be operated by the EBE's themselves. Needless to say, the advanced technology could not be used against the EBE's. During the period 1979-1983 it became increasingly obvious to MJ-12 that things were not going as planned. It became known that many more people (in the thousands) were being abducted than were listed on the official abduction reports. In addition, it became obvious that some, not all, but some of the nation's missing children had been used for secretions and other parts required by the aliens. According to some, there was an altercation between the U.S. military and the aliens at the Dulce laboratory. A special armed forces unit was called in to try and free a number of our people trapped in the facility who had become aware of what was really going on. According to one source, 66 of the soldiers were killed in the effort. By 1983, MJ-12 must have been in stark terror at the mistake they had made in dealing with the EBE's. They had subtly influenced (through Dr. Hynek, formerly with the Blue Book project, who had allegedly broken ties with the Air Force in the late 60's but who in reality continued to be their informant in his cover capacity as Director of the Center for UFO Studies) "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T." (now admitted by some members of MJ-12 to have been a "drastic mistake") to get the public used to "odd- looking" aliens that were compassionate, benevolent and very much our "space brothers." MJ-12 had, in effect, "sold" the EBE's to the public, and were now faced with the fact that quite the opposite was true. In addition, a plan had been formulated in 1968 to make the public aware of the existence of aliens on earth over the next 20 years, to be culminated with several documentaries to be released during the 1985-1987 period. These documentaries would explain the history and intentions of the EBE's. The discovery of the "Grand Deception" put the entire plans, hopes and dreams of MJ-12 into utter confusion and panic. Meeting at the "Country Club," a remote lodge with private golf course, comfortable sleeping and working quarters and its own private airstrip built by and exclusively for the members of MJ-12, it was a factional fight of what to do now. Part of MJ-12, which had now become military top-heavy, wanted to confess the whole scheme and the shambles it had become to the public, beg their forgiveness and ask for their support. The other part (and majority) of MJ-12 argued that there was no way they could do that, that the situation was untenable and there was no use in exciting the public with the "horrible truth" and that the best plan was to continue the development of a weapon or "plan of containment" that could be used against the EBE's under the guise of "SDI," the so-called Strategic Defense Initiative, which has nothing whatever to do with a defense for inbound Russian nuclear missiles. In fact, the real definition of purpose for SDI reads "the plotting, tracking and acquisition of articles in deep space." As these words are being written, Dr. Edward Teller, "father" of the H-bomb is personally in the nuclear test tunnels of the Nevada Test Site, driving his workers and associates in the words of one, "like a man possessed." And well he should be, for Dr. Teller is a member of MJ-12, along with Henry Kissinger, Admiral Bobby Inman, and General Lew Allen. Before the "Grand Deception" was discovered, in following the plan of metered release of information to the public, several documentaries and videotapes were made. William Moore, a Burbank, California-based UFO researcher who wrote "The Roswell Incident," a book published in 1980 that detailed the crash, recovery and subsequent cover-up of a UFO with four alien bodies, has a videotape of two newsmen interviewing a military officer associated with MJ-12. This military officer answers questions relating to the history of MJ-12 and the cover-up, the recovery of a number of flying saucers, and the existence of a live alien (one of three living aliens captured and designated EBE-1, EBE-2 and EBE-3, being held in a facility designated as YY-II at Los Alamos, New Mexico. The only other facility of this type, which is electromagnetically secure, is at Edwards Air Force Base in Mojave, California). The officer names names as previously mentioned plus a few others: Harold Brown, Richard Helms, General Vernon Walters and Dr. Theodore von Karman, as being members of MJ-12. The officer also relates the fact that the EBE's claim to have created Christ. The EBE's have a type of recording device that has recorded all of earth's history and can display it in the form of a hologram. This hologram can be filmed but because of the way holograms work, it does not come out very clear on film or videotape. The crucifixion of Christ on the Mount of Olives has allegedly been put on film to show the public. The EBE's claim to have created Christ, which, in view of the "Grand Deception," could be an effort to disrupt traditional values for undetermined reasons. Another videotape allegedly in existence is an interview with an EBE. Since EBE's communicate telepathically an Air Force colonel serves as an interpreter. Just before the recent stock market crash, several newsmen, including Bill Moore, had been invited to Washington, D.C., to personally film the EBE in a similar type interview and distribute the film to the public. Apparently, because of the market crash, it was felt that the timing was not propitious. In any case, it certainly seems like an odd method to inform the pubic of extraterrestrials, but it would be in keeping with the actions of a panicked organization, who at this point didn't know which way to turn. Moore is also in possession of more Aquarius documents, a few pages of which leaked out several years ago, detailing the super- secret NSA project which had been denied by them until just recently. In a letter to Senator John Glenn, NSA's Director of Policy, Julia B. Wetzel, wrote, "Apparently there is or was an Air Force project by that name [Aquarius] which dealt with UFO's. Coincidentally, there is also an NSA project by that name." NSA's Project Aquarius deals specifically with "communications with aliens." Within the Aquarius program was Project Snowbird, a project to test fly a recovered alien aircraft at Groome Lake, Nevada. This project continues today at that location. In the words of an individual who works at Groom Lake "our people are much better at taking things apart than they are at putting them back together." Another saw a saucer being trucked into the Nevada Test Site in March of 1988. Still another informant witnessed a saucer being buried at that location during the second week of August, 1988. If the government felt they were being forced to acknowledge the existence of aliens on earth because of the overwhelming evidence, such as the Hudson Valley sightings during the past four years, the Wytheville, Virginia, sightings in October and November of 1987, the Gulf Breeze, Florida sightings in which documentary evidence in the form of stereoscopic photographs and videotape were taken between November of 1987 and May of 1988, the Lake Superior sightings of 1988 and the sightings in and around Las Vegas, Nevada and the Nevada Test Site, and taking into consideration the "Grand Deception" and obviously hostile intent of the EBE's, it might be expedient for MJ-12 to admit to the EBE's existence but conceal the information on the abductions and mutilations of humans and animals. The enormity of the problem must be driving more than a few "at the top" to drink. But what about the rest of us? Most of those reporting sightings are being viciously ridiculed by government- sponsored "debunkers" like Philip Klass, former avionics editor for "Aviation Week" and "Space Technology," NASA scientist James Oberg, and a host of others. When the truth does emerge, if it ever does, how is this shabby, dishonest treatment of totally sane, normal and patriotic citizens going to be justified? Now you ask, "Why haven't I heard about any of this?" Who do you think you would hear it from? Dan Rather? Tom Brokaw? Sam Donaldson? Wrong. These people just read the news. They don't find it. They have ladies that call and interview witnesses and verify statements on stories coming over the wire. It's not like Dan Rather would go down to Wytheville, Virginia, and dig into why there were 4000 reports of sightings in October and November of 1987. Better that Tom Brokaw or someone else should risk their credibility on this type of story. Tom Brokaw? He wants Sam Donaldson to risk his credibility. No one... but no one is going to risk their reputation on such outlandish ideas regardless of how many people report sightings of 900-foot objects running them off the road. In the case of the Wytheville, Virginia, sightings, dozens of vans with "NASA" lettered on the sides failed to interest newsmen. And those that did ask questions were told that NASA was doing a weather survey. Well, then, you ask: What about out scientists... what about Carl Sagan? Isaac Asimov? Arthur C. Clarke? Wouldn't they have known? If Carl Sagan knows, then he is committing a great fraud through the solicitation of memberships in the Planetary Society "to search for extraterrestrial intelligence." Another charade into which the U.S. government dumps millions of dollars every year is the radiotelescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell University with, guess who, Carl Sagan. Cornell University is ostensibly searching for signals from outer space, a sign, maybe, that someone is out there. It's hard to believe that relatively intelligent astronomers like Sagan could be so stupid. What about Isaac Asimov? Surely the most prolific science fiction writer of all time would have guessed by now that there must be an enormous cover-up. One current hypothesis is that, from the available evidence, it appears that the EBE's are trying to regenerate their own species at our expense. They have apparently suffered either some kind of nuclear holocaust or they may be on the back side of a bell-shaped evolutionary curve where in essence they are "devolving" instead of evolving. In any case, according to reports of several autopsies of aliens that have leaked out, the EBE's have an atrophied digestive system and other physical problems. This would account for their attempts to crossbreed with us as outlined in "Intruders" by Budd Hopkins, a detailed study of an Indianapolis woman who, over several years, produces seven crossbreed alien children, none of whom she was allowed to keep. Not that she wanted to. Whatever the answer these facts are indisputable. The extent and number of persons reported missing every year is a closely guarded government secret. (Since 1980, at least 20,000 children have been reported missing each year.) Cattle mutilations (over 14,000 since 1973) are regarded officially by the government as a "hoax." Human abductions by aliens are officially regarded by the government as a "hoax." The latest polls show that 88% of all Americans believe that intelligent life on other planets is probable and that over 20 million Americans have seen what they believed to be a UFO. But the U.S. government officially dismisses "flying saucers" as a "hoax." What do you think? The best advice I can give you is next time you see a flying saucer and are awed by its obvious display of technology and gorgeous lights of pure color: RUN LIKE HELL!
