Are They Really Out There?
"These UFOs
are interplanetary devices systematically observing the
Earth, either manned or under remote control, or both."
"Information on UFOs, including
sighting reports, has been and is still being officially
withheld."

CIA's psychological
warfare staff, advisor to NATO
"It
was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it
was very bright, it changed colors, and it was about the
size of the moon. A red and green glowing orb radiated
as it hurtled across the southwestern Georgia skies. We
watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure
out what it was. One thing's for sure: I'll never make
fun of people who say they've seen unidentified flying
objects in the sky."
PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER
Interview following his
sighting (with many
others (of a UFO at Leary, Georgia)
"At this time the reports
of incidents convince us that there is something going
on that must have immediate attention. Sightings of
unexplained objects at high altitudes and traveling at
high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense
installations are of such nature that they are not
attributable to natural phenomena or known types of
vehicles."

Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, CIA

"I wanted to convey to you
my views on our extra-terrestrial visitors popularly
referred to as ' UFOs,' and suggest what might be done
to properly deal with them."
"I believe that these
extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting
this planet from other planets which obviously are a
little more technically advanced than we are here on
Earth. I feel that we need to have a top level,
coordinated program to scientifically collect and
analyze data from all over the earth concerning any type
of encounter, and to determine how best to interface
with these visitors in a friendly fashion. We may first
have to show them that we have learned to resolve our
problems by peaceful means, rather than warfare, before
we are accepted as fully qualified universal team
members. This acceptance would have tremendous
possibilities of advancing our world in all areas.
Certainly then it would seem that the UN has a vested
interest in handling this subject properly and
expeditiously."
"If the UN agrees to
pursue this project, and to lend their credibility to
it, perhaps many more well qualified people will agree
to step forth and provide help and information."
"For
many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy
imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now
reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments
capture objects of form and composition unknown to us.
And there are thousands of witness reports and a
quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to
make them public."
