The William Moore/MJ-12 Maze: Late in the summer of 1979 William
|
|
L. Moore had left a teaching job in a small Minnesota town to
|
|
relocate in Arizona, where he hoped to pursue a writing career.
|
|
Moore was deeply involved in the investigation of an apparent UFO
|
|
crash in New Mexico in July 1947, a case he and Charles Berlitz
|
|
would recount in their The Roswell Incident the following year.
|
|
After his move to the Southwest Moore became close to Coral and
|
|
James Lorenzen of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization
|
|
(APRO) and in due course Moore was asked to join the APRO board.
|
|
The Lorenzens told him about Bennewitz's claims. Bennewitz, Jim
|
|
Lorenzen thought, was "prone to make great leaps of logic on the
|
|
basis of incomplete data" (Moore, 1989a).
|
|
|
|
The Roswell Incident was published in the summer of 1980 and in
|
|
September a debate on UFOs at the Smithsonian Institution was
|
|
scheduled to take place. Moore set off from his Arizona home to
|
|
Washington, D.C., to attend the debate and along the way promoted
|
|
his new book on radio and television shows. According to an
|
|
account he would give seven years later, an extraordinary series
|
|
of events began while he was on this trip.
|
|
|
|
He had done a radio show in Omaha and was in the station lobby,
|
|
suitcase in hand, on his way to catch a plane which was to leave
|
|
within the hour when a receptionist asked if he was Mr. Moore. He
|
|
had a phone call. The caller was a man who claimed to be a
|
|
colonel at nearby Offutt AFB, He said, "We think you're the only
|
|
one we've heard who seems to know what he's talking about." He
|
|
asked if he and Moore could meet and discuss matters further.
|
|
Moore said that since he was leaving town in the next few
|
|
minutes, that would not be possible, though he wrote down the
|
|
man's phone number.
|
|
|
|
Moore went on to Washington. On September 8, on his way back, he
|
|
did a radio show in Albuquerque. On the way out of the studio the
|
|
receptionist told him he had a phone call. The caller, who
|
|
identified himself as an individual from nearby Kirtland AFB,
|
|
said, "We think you're the only one we've heard about who seems
|
|
to know what he's talking about." Moore said, "Where have I heard
|
|
that before?"
|
|
|
|
Soon afterwards Moore and the individual he would call "Falcon"
|
|
met at a local restaurant. Falcon, later alleged (though denied
|
|
by Moore) to be U.S. Air Force Sgt. Richard Doty, said he would
|
|
be wearing a red tie. This first meeting would initiate a long-
|
|
running relationship between Moore (and, beginning in 1982,
|
|
partner Jaime Shandera) and 10 members of a shadowy group said to
|
|
be connected with military intelligence and to be opposed to the
|
|
continuation of the UFO cover-up. The story that emerged from
|
|
this interaction goes like this:
|
|
|
|
The first UFO crash, involving bodies of small, gray-skinned
|
|
humanoids, occurred near Corona, New Mexico, in 1947 (the
|
|
"Roswell incident"). Two years later a humanoid was found alive
|
|
and it was housed at Los Alamos until its death in the early
|
|
1950s. It was called EBE, after "extraterrestrial biological
|
|
entity," and it was the first of three the U.S. government would
|
|
have in its custody between then and now. An Air Force captain,
|
|
now a retired colonel, was EBE-1's constant companion. At first
|
|
communication with it was almost impossible; then a speech device
|
|
which enabled the being to speak a sort of English was implanted
|
|
in its throat. It turned out that EBE-1, the equivalent of a
|
|
mechanic on a spaceship, related what it knew of the nature and
|
|
purpose of the visitation.
|
|
|
|
In response to the Roswell incident, MJ-12-the MJ stands for
|
|
"Majestic"--as set up by executive order of President Harry
|
|
Truman on September 24, 1947. MJ-12 operates as a policy-making
|
|
body. Project Aquarius is an umbrella group in which all the
|
|
various compartments dealing with ET-related issues perform their
|
|
various functions. Project Sigma conducts electronic
|
|
communication with the extraterrestrials, part of an ongoing
|
|
contact project run through the National Security Agency since
|
|
1964, following a landing at Holloman AFB in late April of that
|
|
year.
|
|
|
|
Nine extraterrestrial races are visiting the earth. One of these
|
|
races, little gray-skinned people from the third planet
|
|
surrounding Zeta Reticuli, have been here for 25,000 years and
|
|
influenced the direction of human evolution. They also help in
|
|
the shaping of our religious beliefs. Some important individuals
|
|
within the cover-up want it to end and are preparing the American
|
|
people for the reality of the alien presence through the vehicle
|
|
of popular entertainment, including the films Close Encounters of
|
|
the Third Kind, whose climax is a thinly-disguised version of the
|
|
Holloman landing, and ET.
|
|
|
|
At CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, there is a thick book
|
|
called "The Bible," a compilation of all the various project
|
|
reports.
|
|
|
|
According to his own account, which he would not relate until
|
|
1989, Moore cooperated with his AFOSI sources-including,
|
|
prominently, Richard Doty-and provided them with information.
|
|
They informed him that there was considerable interest in
|
|
Bennewitz. Moore was made to understand that as his part of the
|
|
bargain he was to spy on Bennewitz and also on APRO as well as,
|
|
in Moore's words, "to a lesser extent, several other individuals"
|
|
(Moore, 1989a). He learned that several government agencies were
|
|
interested in Bennewitz's activities and they wanted to inundate
|
|
him with false information-disinformation, in intelligence
|
|
parlance-to confuse him. Moore says he was not one of those
|
|
providing the disinformation, but he knew some of those of who
|
|
were, such as Doty.
|
|
|
|
Bennewitz on his own had already begun to devise a paranoid
|
|
interpretation of what he thought he was seeing and hearing, and
|
|
the disinformation passed on to him built on that foundation. His
|
|
sources told him that the U.S. government and malevolent aliens
|
|
are in an uneasy alliance to control the planet, that the aliens
|
|
are killing and mutilating not only cattle but human beings,
|
|
whose organs they need to lengthen their lives, and that they are
|
|
even eating human flesh. In underground bases at government
|
|
installations in Nevada and New Mexico human and alien scientists
|
|
work together on ghastly experiments, including the creation of
|
|
soulless androids out of human and animal body parts. Aliens are
|
|
abducting as many as one American in 40 and implanting devices
|
|
which control human behavior. ClA brainwashing and other control
|
|
techniques are doing the same, turning life on earth into a
|
|
nightmare of violence and irrationality. It was, as Moore
|
|
remarks, "the wildest science fiction scenario anyone could
|
|
possibly imagine."
|
|
|
|
But Bennewitz believed it. He grew ever more obsessed and tried
|
|
to alert prominent persons to the imminent threat, showing
|
|
photographs which he held showed human-alien activity in the
|
|
Kirtland area but which dispassionate observers thought depicted
|
|
natural rock formations and other mundane phenomena. Eventually
|
|
Bennewitz was hospitalized, but on his release resumed his
|
|
activities, which continue to this day. Soon the ghoulish
|
|
scenario would spread into the larger UFO community and beyond
|
|
and command a small but committed band of believers. But that
|
|
would not happen until the late 1980s and it would not be
|
|
Bennewitz who would be responsible for it.
