LETTER ON UFO CIRCUIT IGNITES CONTROVERSY
|
|
by Vicki Cooper
|
|
An explosive letter making the rounds in UFOdom claims that offic-
|
|
ials within the US government unwittingly entered a deadly conspiracy with
|
|
aliens over 20 years ago - a shocking and unprecedented pact that is now
|
|
backfiring horribly.
|
|
In what sounds like a B-grade plot for a 50's sci-fi epic, charter
|
|
airline pilot John Lear of Nevada reveals information he says comes from
|
|
reliable sources in the American intelligence network. Because of the out-
|
|
rageous nature of the information and the questionable veracity of Lear's
|
|
unnamed sources, the letter has met with a barrage of skepticism within
|
|
the UFO community.
|
|
In highly dramatic terms, Lear's 9-page missive chronicles the U.S.
|
|
government/military cover-up of UFO data and the creation of a top secret
|
|
group called MJ-12, which is described as "the top military-scientific per-
|
|
sonnel of their time."
|
|
Lear alleges that after saucer crashes in the late 1940s and almost
|
|
30 succeeding years of suppressed UFO events, the first communications be-
|
|
tween aliens and our government took place. "The 'deal' was that in ex-
|
|
change for 'technology' that they would provide us we agreed to 'ignore'
|
|
the abductions that were going on and suppress information on the cattle
|
|
mutilations," the letter states. "The EBEs (extraterrestrial biological
|
|
entities) assured MJ-12 that the abductions...were merely the ongoing
|
|
monitoring of developing civilizations."
|
|
In his piece de resistance, Lear charges that the EBEs instigated a
|
|
"grand deception" to hide their true motives, which include parasitical
|
|
consumption of human biological matter, "termination" of individuals who
|
|
might interfere with their plans, and the creation of human-alien cross-
|
|
breeds.
|
|
The letter first appeared in December on ParaNet, an Arizona-based
|
|
computer bulletin board featuring miscellaneous items on UFOs, Fortean
|
|
subjects and other paranormal phenomena. Though ParaNet's Director Jim
|
|
Speiser was himself initially skeptical of the letter, he decided to re-
|
|
lease its contents on a bet with Lear. The letter immediately made waves.
|
|
"Its being taken with a pillar of salt, even by UFO believers," Speiser
|
|
says. "They're backing (Lear) into a corner about his sources."
|
|
Lear acknowledges the high potential of disinformation in what he
|
|
wrote, which he says is actually an "hypothesis" that should have been
|
|
released with his cover letter describing months of research trips and
|
|
first-person interviews with witnesses and intelligence sources. He says,
|
|
"If we are being fed disinformation, you have to ask -- what in the world
|
|
could they be disinforming us about?" Meanwhile, one of Lear's sources
|
|
tells him that MJ-12 members are "wringing their hands" because of recent
|
|
EBE warnings that something ominous is about to happen.
|
|
Son of the man behind the Lear jet, Lear has a long and colorful
|
|
history as a private pilot who has, among other adventures, flown covert
|
|
missions for the CIA. He's currently employed as captain of a major char-
|
|
ter airline.
|
|
Lear stands behind the information contained in his letter. "It was
|
|
originally for my friends," he says. "I had no idea that it would go out
|
|
to the entire US and have to be backed up word for word!
|
|
"People want proof and they want it now. All I can say is that if
|
|
they'd sat where I have and listened to all the stuff that's come to me -
|
|
each little thing adds to the veracity of the hypothesis."
|
|
At the time he offered the letter to ParaNet, Lear, swore the stuff
|
|
was credible. Says Speiser, "He said if I didn't get a call from the Air
|
|
Force Office of Special Investigations upon transmitting the letter, he'd
|
|
buy me dinner at Caesar's Palace."
|
|
At the time of this writing, Speiser is still waiting patiently for
|
|
his call and his dinner.

|
|
Corrections and clarifications: 1) The letter, though written in December,
|
|
appeared in mid-January. 2) Besides being initially skeptical, I am STILL
|
|
skeptical. 3) Lear sent me the letter and INSISTED that I put it on ParaNet, which he knew to be a national network. His statement that he didn't know it would "go out to the entire U.S." seems to be what Jesse Jackson would call a terminological inexactitude. 4) Our agreement was to print EVERYTHING John sentme, not just the letter, and I would be hearing from OSI. I can't say as I've held up my end of the bargain, because John has sent me a lot of stuff;however, you'd think the letter would be enough to flush out OSI, if anything in it were true....
