PART 10
|
|
|
|
The document gave no indication anywhere as to which government,
|
|
military or scientific agency (if any) had prepared the report,
|
|
titled A Briefing Paper for the President of the United States on
|
|
the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles. The title did not
|
|
specify which President it had in mind, nor did the document list
|
|
a date (so far as Howe recalls today) which would have linked it
|
|
to a particular administration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first paragraph, written--as was everything that followed--
|
|
in what Howe characterizes as "dry bureaucratese," listed dates
|
|
and locations of crashes and retrievals of UFOs and their
|
|
occupants. The latter were invariably described as 3 1/2 to four
|
|
feet tall, gray-skinned and hairless, with oversized heads, large
|
|
eyes and no noses. It was now known, the document stated on a
|
|
subsequent page, that these beings, from a nearby solar system,
|
|
have been here for many thousands of years. Through genetic
|
|
manipulation they influenced the course of human evolution and in
|
|
a sense created us. They had also helped shape our religious
|
|
beliefs.
|
|
|
|
The July 1947 Roswell crash was mentioned; so, however, was
|
|
another one at Roswell in 1949. Investigators at the site found
|
|
five bodies and one living alien, who was taken to a safe house
|
|
at the Los Alamos National Laboratory north of Albuquerque. The
|
|
aliens, small gray-skinned humanoids, were known as
|
|
"extraterrestrial biological entities" and the living one was
|
|
called "EBE" (ee-buh). EBE was befriended (if that was the word)
|
|
by an Air Force officer, but the being died of unknown causes on
|
|
June 18, 1952. (EBE's friend, by 1964 a colonel, was among those
|
|
who were there to greet the aliens who landed at Holloman.)
|
|
Subsequently, it would be referred to as EBE-1, since in later
|
|
years another such being, EBE-2, would take up residence in a
|
|
safe house. After that, a third, EBE-3, appeared on the scene and
|
|
was now living in secret at an American base.
|
|
|
|
The briefing paper said other crashes had occurred one near
|
|
Kingman, Arizona, another just south of Texas in northern Mexico.
|
|
It also mentioned the Aztec crash- The wreckage and bodies had
|
|
been removed to such facilities as Los Alamos laboratory and
|
|
Wright-Patterson AFB. A number of highly classified projects
|
|
dealt with these materials. They included Snowbird (research and
|
|
development from the study of an intact spacecraft left by the
|
|
aliens as a gift) and Aquarius (the umbrella operation under
|
|
which the research and contact efforts were coordinated). Project
|
|
Sigma was the ongoing electronic communications effort. There was
|
|
also a defunct project Garnet, intended to investigate
|
|
extraterrestrial influence on human evolution. According to the
|
|
document, extraterrestrials have appeared at various intervals in
|
|
human history-25,000, 15,000, 5000 and 2500 years ago as well as
|
|
now--to manipulate human and other DNA.
|
|
|
|
One paragraph stated briefly, "Two thousand years ago
|
|
extraterrestrials created a being" who was placed here to teach
|
|
peace and love. Elsewhere a passing mention was made of another
|
|
group of EBEs, called the "Talls."
|
|
|
|
The paper said Project Blue Book had existed solely to take heat
|
|
off the Air Force and to draw attention away from the real
|
|
projects. Doty mentioned an "MJ-12," explaining that "MJ" stood
|
|
for "Majority." It was a policy-making body whose membership
|
|
consisted of 12 very high-ranking government scientists, military
|
|
officers and intelligence officials. These were the men who made
|
|
the decisions governing the cover-up and the contacts.
|
|
|
|
Doty said Howe would be given thousands of feet of film of
|
|
crashed discs, bodies, EBE-1 and the Holloman landing and
|
|
meeting. She could use this material in her documentary to tell
|
|
the story of how U.S. officials learned that the earth is being
|
|
visited and what they have done about it. "We want you to do the
|
|
film," Howe quotes him as saying.
|
|
|
|
When Howe asked why she, not the New York Times, the Washington
|
|
Post or 60 Minutes, was getting this, the story of the
|
|
millennium, Doty replied bluntly that an individual media person
|
|
is easier to manipulate and discredit than a major organization
|
|
with expensive attorneys. He said that another plan to release
|
|
the information, through Emenegger and Sandler, had been halted
|
|
because political conditions were not right.
|
|
|
|
Over the next weeks Howe had a number of phone conversations
|
|
with Doty, mostly about technical problems related to converting
|
|
old film to videotape. She spoke on several occasions with three
|
|
other men but did not meet them personally.
|
|
|
|
Doty suggested that eventually she might be allowed to film an
|
|
interview with EBE-3. But the current film project was to have a
|
|
historical emphasis; it would deal with events between 1949 and
|
|
1964. If at some point she did meet EBE-3, however, there was no
|
|
way she could prepare herself for the "shock and fear" of meeting
|
|
an alien being.
|
|
|
|
Howe, of course, had informed her HBO contacts, Jean Abounader
|
|
and her superior Bridgett Potter, of these extraordinary
|
|
developments. Howe urged them to prepare themselves, legally and
|
|
otherwise, for the repercussions that would surely follow the
|
|
release of the film. The HBO people told her she would have to
|
|
secure a letter of intent from the U.S. government with a
|
|
legally-binding commitment to release the promised film footage.
|
|
When Howe called Doty about it, he said, "I'll work on it." He
|
|
said he would mail the letter directly to HBO.
|
|
|
|
Then HBO told her it would not authorize funds for the film
|
|
production until all the evidence was in hand and, as Potter put
|
|
it, Howe had the "President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of
|
|
State and Joint Chiefs of Staff to back it up" (Howe, 1989). But
|
|
proceed anyway, Howe was told. Now she was furious at both HBO
|
|
and Doty.
|
|
|
|
When she called him at the base, he remarked that he had good
|
|
news and bad news. She and a small crew would soon be able to
|
|
interview the retired colonel (then a captain) who had spent
|
|
three years with EBE-1. The bad news was that it would be three
|
|
months before the thousands of feet of film of EBE-1 and the
|
|
Holloman landing/contact would be available. Meanwhile, before
|
|
she could screen the footage, Howe would have to sign three
|
|
security oaths and undergo a background check. She would also
|
|
have to supply photographs of all the technical assistants who
|
|
would accompany her to the interview.
|
|
|
|
The interview was repeatedly set up and canceled. Then in June
|
|
Doty called to say he was officially out of the project. This was
|
|
a blow because Doty was the only one she could call. She did not
|
|
know how to get in touch with the others and always had to wait
|
|
for them to contact her.
|
|
|
|
By October the contacts had decreased. The same month her
|
|
contract with HBO expired. All she had was the name of the
|
|
Washington contact. In March 1984 this individual called her
|
|
office three times, although she was out of town working on a
|
|
non-UFO story at the time. "Upon returning home," she writes, "I
|
|
learned the man was contacting me to explain there would be
|
|
further delays in the film project after the November 1984
|
|
election" (Howe, 1989).
|
|
|
|
For Howe that was the end of the matter, except for a brief
|
|
sequel. On March 5, 1988, Doty wrote ufologist Larry W. Bryant,
|
|
who had unsuccessfully sought access to Doty's military records
|
|
through the Freedom of Information Act, and denied that he had
|
|
ever discussed government UFO secrets or promised footage of
|
|
crashed discs, bodies and live EBEs. Howe responded by making a
|
|
sworn statement about the meeting an producing copies of her
|
|
correspondence from the period with both Doty and HBO.
