PART 12

|
Lear's Conspiracy Theory: Events on the UFO scene were taking a
|
|
yet more bizarre turn that same year as even wilder tales began
|
|
to circulate. The first to tell them was John Lear, a pilot with
|
|
a background in the CIA and the estranged son of aviation legend
|
|
William P. Lear. Lear had surfaced two or three years earlier,
|
|
but aside from his famous father there seemed little to
|
|
distinguish him from any of hundreds of other UFO buffs who
|
|
subscribe to the field's publications and show up at its
|
|
conferences. But then he started claiming that unnamed sources
|
|
had told him of extraordinary events which made those told by
|
|
Doty and the birds sound like bland and inconsequential
|
|
anecdotes.
|
|
|
|
According to Lear, not just a few but dozens of flying saucers
|
|
had crashed over the years. In 1962 the U.S. government started
|
|
Project Redlight to find a way to fly the recovered craft, some
|
|
relatively intact. A similar project exists even now and is run
|
|
out of supersecret military installation; one is Area 51
|
|
(specifically at a facility called S4) at the Nevada Test Site
|
|
and the other is set up near Dulce, New Mexico. These areas,
|
|
unfortunately, may no longer be under the control of the
|
|
government or even of the human race. In the late 1960s an
|
|
official agency so secret that not even the President may know of
|
|
it had made an agreement with the aliens. In exchange for
|
|
extraterrestrial technology the secret government would permit
|
|
(or at least not interfere with) a limited number of abductions
|
|
of human beings; the aliens, however, were to provide a list of
|
|
those they planned to kidnap.
|
|
|
|
All went relatively well for a few years. Then in 1973 the
|
|
government discovered that thousands of persons who were not on
|
|
the alien's list were being abducted. The resulting tensions led
|
|
to an altercation in 1978 or 1979. The aliens held and then
|
|
killed 44 top scientists as well as a number of Delta force
|
|
troops who had tried to free them. Ever since, frantic efforts,
|
|
of which the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") is the
|
|
most visible manifestation, have been made to develop a defense
|
|
against the extraterrestrials, who are busy putting implants into
|
|
abductees (as many as one in 10 Americans) to control their
|
|
behavior. At some time in the near future these people will be
|
|
used for some unknown, apparently sinister, alien purpose. Even
|
|
worse than all this, though, is the aliens' interest in Human
|
|
flesh. Sex and other organs are taken from both human beings and
|
|
cattle and used to create androids in giant vats located in
|
|
underground laboratories at Area 51 and Dulce. The
|
|
extraterrestrials, from an ancient race near the end of its
|
|
evolution, also use materials from human body parts as a method
|
|
of biological rejuvenation. ("In order to sustain themselves," he
|
|
said, "they use an enzyme or hormonal secretion obtained from the
|
|
tissue that they extract from humans and animals. The secretions
|
|
are then mixed with hydrogen peroxide and applied on the skin by
|
|
spreading or dipping parts of their bodies in the solution. The
|
|
body absorbs the solution, then excretes the waste back through
|
|
the skin" [Berk and Renzi, 1988].)
|
|
|
|
One of Lear's major sources was Bennewitz, who had first heard
|
|
these scary stories from AFOSI personnel at Kirtland in the early
|
|
1980s. By this time Bennewitz had become something of a guru to a
|
|
small group of UFO enthusiasts, Linda Howe among them, who
|
|
believed extraterrestrials were mutilating cattle and had no
|
|
trouble believing they might do the same thing to people. Also
|
|
Lear, whose political views are far to the right of center, was
|
|
linking his UFO beliefs with conspiracy theories about a
|
|
malevolent secret American government which was attempting to use
|
|
the aliens for its own purposes, including enslavement of the
|
|
world's people through drug addiction. A considerable body of
|
|
rightwing conspiracy literature, some with barely-concealed anti-
|
|
Semitic overtones, was making similar charges. Lear himself was
|
|
not anti-Semitic, but he did share conspiracy beliefs with those
|
|
who were.
|
|
|
|
Another of his claimed sources was an unnamed physicist who,
|
|
Lear claimed, had actually worked at S4. To the many ufologists
|
|
who rejected Lear's stories as paranoid, lunatic or fabricated
|
|
(though not by the patently-sincere Lear), there was widespread
|
|
skepticism about this physicist's existence. It turned out that
|
|
he did indeed exist. His name is Robert Lazar, who, according to
|
|
a story broken by reporter George Knapp on KLAS-TV, the ABC
|
|
affiliate in Las Vegas, on November 11 and 13, 1989, claims to
|
|
have worked on alien technology projects at Area 51. Lazar, whose
|
|
story is being investigated by both ufologists and mainstream
|
|
journalists, has not endorsed Lear's claims about human-alien
|
|
treaties, man-eating ETs or any of the rest and has distanced
|
|
himself from Lear and his associates. His claims, while fantastic
|
|
by most standards, are modest next to Lears.
