PART 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As many of you know, UFO Magazine completed a story and investigation on Milton
|
|
Wm. Cooper in Vol. 5, No. 4 and 5.
|
|
Cooper, a very controversial figure in the UFO field, has been making claims
|
|
and pronouncements for the last several years. We spoke to many that know him,
|
|
and for you folks that are new here at ParaNet, Cooper made his debut right
|
|
here. At that time ( in 1988 ) he was "made" as a fraud by the former
|
|
Administrator Jim Speiser, and was removed from the system.
|
|
|
|
I have just received a copy of "NEW TIMES" NEXUS, a magazine that is published
|
|
in Australia. The issue is Volume 2 Issue 1 dated October 1990. In this
|
|
magazine is a story by Cooper with his "Operation Majority". Now during the
|
|
UFO Magazine investigation, we found most of this to be fabricated or
|
|
information that Cooper plagiarized. However it is a fact of life that not
|
|
everyone reads UFO, and Cooper is public in every area he can attain to. So I
|
|
am going to place the entire Two part story right here for all of ParaNet to
|
|
read.
|
|
|
|
One other thing, I am also going to include a couple of things that did not
|
|
reach publication, because of space, and also the fact that at the time we did
|
|
not wish to "crucify" Cooper. However, to paraphrase George Knapp, News
|
|
Director of KLAS TV in Las Vegas, "Cooper is like a cornered rat, desperate,
|
|
vicious and vile." He has "smeared, lied, threatened, and libeled everyone that
|
|
has disagreed with him. With that, here is "Whistleblowers Part ONE.
|
|
All Rights Reserved - UFO Magazine
|
|
|
|
Who are the UFO whistleblowers? They come out
|
|
of relative obscurity and burst into the center
|
|
of ufological attention. Making incredible
|
|
claims of alien activity on earth and the
|
|
Government's deep but covert involvement.
|
|
Without exception, the whistleblowers of recent
|
|
times only furnish the most hazy evidence of
|
|
their claims, if that.
|
|
|
|
Oftentimes they will also lay
|
|
claim to having worked with or
|
|
for the government, in high
|
|
enough positions to wield security
|
|
clearances and to have observed
|
|
the most unequivocal documentation.
|
|
|
|
Because these individuals fail
|
|
to furnish proof for their startling claims,
|
|
and because many people have asked UFO
|
|
Magazine for a readout on their
|
|
credibility, we are beginning a
|
|
series of investigative articles on
|
|
certain individuals who fall into
|
|
the ''whistleblower'' category.
|
|
Normally, UFO avoids focusing
|
|
on personalities, preferring to
|
|
concentrate on the phenomenon
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
But these personalities force us
|
|
to make an exception. Their
|
|
material has appeal and sensation
|
|
value. But is it legitimate? Who
|
|
are the whistleblowers who are
|
|
telling the truth ? Who are the
|
|
ruthless Pied Pipers forging a
|
|
trail of lies and deception ? Our
|
|
series begins with Milton William
|
|
Cooper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COOPER
|
|
In the last several years, few have
|
|
stirred the field of ufology like
|
|
Milton William Cooper. Cooper,
|
|
born May 6, 1943, is a balding
|
|
47-year-old man who has enthralled
|
|
thousands with lurid tales of
|
|
dangerous UFOs and secret govern-
|
|
ment treaties allowing the alien
|
|
menace to abduct and experiment on
|
|
unwilling human victims in exchange
|
|
for advanced alien technology.
|
|
Raining threats and pronounce-
|
|
ments over the UFO field like a con-
|
|
tinuously firing shotgun, Cooper has
|
|
recently leveled charges of govern-
|
|
ment spookery against a number of
|
|
prominent ufologists in the field, in
|
|
many cases claiming to have seen
|
|
their names on a government recruit-
|
|
ment list back in 1972 and 1973
|
|
while he was purportedly serving in
|
|
Naval Intelligence in CINCPACFLT
|
|
(Commander-in Chief, Pacific Fleet).
|
|
Not above accusing former friends
|
|
and associates, Cooper has charged
|
|
various ufologists with illegal acts,
|
|
moral turpitude and of purveying
|
|
disinformation that permeates the
|
|
field. Now with an agent to book
|
|
speaking engagements at any and
|
|
every UFO event possible, Cooper is
|
|
very fond of stating to his audiences,
|
|
''Don't take my word for it, go out
|
|
and check the information yourself.''
|
|
UFO MagaLine has, and the follow-
|
|
ing is the result of our investigation.
|
|
|
|
Paranet debut
|
|
|
|
Who is M. Wm. "Bill" Cooper,
|
|
and where did he come from?
|
|
Cooper's first public appearance
|
|
resulted when he uploaded a text on
|
|
ParaNet, the international computer
|
|
data service. The file alleges a fan-
|
|
tastic UFO sighting while Cooper
|
|
was a crew member of the U.S.S.
|
|
TIRU, a United States Naval sub-
|
|
marine, in 1966. According to
|
|
Cooper, the sighting took place while
|
|
he was on duty as port lookout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Claiming that the sub's skipper im-
|
|
mediately classified the incident,
|
|
Cooper reported that when the sub-
|
|
marine reached port, the witnesses
|
|
were debriefed by Naval Security.
|
|
During this time frame of
|
|
Cooper's initial appearance on the
|
|
scene, John O. Lear, son of William
|
|
''Bill'' Lear of Lear Jet fame, had
|
|
also been undergoing ParaNet
|
|
scrutiny as a result of the release of
|
|
his hypothesis concerning an alien
|
|
threat. Lear's document, released in
|
|
December of 1987, had created quite
|
|
an uproar in its own right. Lear
|
|
alleged that the U.S. government had
|
|
entered into a relationship with a
|
|
possible ET intelligence, and in ex-
|
|
change for super technology gave
|
|
carte blanche to the ETs to conduct
|
|
experiments and abductions on un-
|
|
suspecting human beings.
|
|
Lear also claimed that the ETs,
|
|
with our government's knowledge,
|
|
were mutilating domestic animals
|
|
such as cattle and sheep, and in some
|
|
cases even human victims. Because
|
|
much of Lear's information was
|
|
hypothesis, and little checkable infor-
|
|
mation was forthcoming, many
|
|
ParaNet members and others in the
|
|
UFO community were asking very
|
|
hard questions. In a number of in-
|
|
stances, Lear's credibility was
|
|
attacked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When he again visited the ParaNet
|
|
system, Cooper allied himself with
|
|
Lear, publicizing the claim that
|
|
because of releasing his UFO infor-
|
|
mation, he had just been terminated
|
|
from his $75,000 a year job as the
|
|
executive director of a commercial
|
|
business school.
|
|
In October of 1988, Cooper con-
|
|
tacted this writer, requesting a favor.
|
|
Telling me at that time that "this is
|
|
dangerous if anyone finds out," he
|
|
asked me to accept the electronic
|
|
transfer of a file into my computer,
|
|
to be sent to Stanton Friedman with
|
|
the information of who wanted
|
|
Friedman to see it. The document in-
|
|
cluded information about purported
|
|
government UFO involvement-
|
|
under the terms MAJI, MJ-1, THE
|
|
BlUE TEAM, GRUDGE,
|
|
etc.-and, according to Cooper,
|
|
various other alleged secret govern-
|
|
ment projects dealing with the alien
|
|
presence. I agreed to send the infor-
|
|
mation to Friedman. (I never heard
|
|
anymore about it until later, when
|
|
Cooper was barred from ParaNet
|
|
because of' claims of feeding false
|
|
and fraudulent information.)
|
|
I basically forgot about the file to
|
|
Friedman until Cooper released ad-
|
|
ditional files with the claim that they
|
|
were the final release. But subsequently
|
|
Cooper was to release several "final"
|
|
releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In one, he claimed,
|
|
"MJ-12 is the name of the secret
|
|
control group . . . The Jason Society
|
|
[was set up] to sift through all the
|
|
evidence, technology, lies and decep-
|
|
tion . . ." But later, in another file,
|
|
he stated, ''MJ-12 cannot be used as a
|
|
name for the control group as it
|
|
would cause confusion in meaning,
|
|
i.e., is it referring to MJ-12 the per-
|
|
son or MJ-12 the group... ?'' (Italics
|
|
added) By this time, I and others
|
|
were becoming confused with the
|
|
various ''final releases.''
|
|
|
|
Project 'Luna'
|
|
|
|
In another public release, Cooper
|
|
claimed that "Project Luna" was an
|
|
alien base on the far side of the
|
|
moon which had been observed by
|
|
various astronauts, but changed the
|
|
story in one more "Final release,"
|
|
stating that it was the code name for
|
|
an underground base near Dulce,
|
|
New Mexico.
|
|
In Cooper's later releases are a
|
|
number of names that were never
|
|
mentioned in earlier releases, names
|
|
such as JOSHUA and O.H. KRLL
|
|
or KRLLL, or CRLL, CRLLL, or
|
|
even KRILL. When it comes to
|
|
answering whether these claims will
|
|
bear up under serious scrutiny, these
|
|
names prove to be very important, as
|
|
later information in this article will
|
|
show.
