Today, January 13, 1994, this press release/letter was mailed to several

|
|
hearings for Secretary of Defense designate Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, Ret.) and

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
|
|
|
January 12, 1994
|
|
|
|
Has Secretary of Defense designate Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, Ret., made
|
|
statements indicating that the U.S. Government has extraterrestrial craft in
|
|
its possession? Admiral Inman has been credited with making such statements
|
|
which have been construed as meaning that he was aware:
|
|
|
|
* that "recovered vehicles" (meaning extraterrestrial alien craft) have
|
|
been in possession of the government for over 10 years,
|
|
|
|
* he had "some expertise" in the area of UFO before his retirement,
|
|
|
|
* that he has been aware of a program to "indoctrinate the public" in UFO
|
|
matters,
|
|
|
|
* that he "understood who is behind the technology in the crafts" meaning
|
|
extraterrestrial alien beings,
|
|
|
|
* that the matter (of U.S, government recovery and possession of alien UFO
|
|
craft) was covered by the "national security laws".
|
|
|
|
The statements in question have been published in the United Kingdom and the
|
|
United States in the books: (UK) Alien Liaison, 1991, and (in the US) Alien
|
|
Update 1993, and (reiterated in a slightly different form) (US) Alien Contact:
|
|
Top-Secret UFO Files Revealed, 1993, all by Timothy Good.
|
|
|
|
The subject of "UFO" is a controversial one, but the subject of U.S.
|
|
Government possession of recovered alien craft is even more controversial.
|
|
This has, and continues to be denied by every government agency queried.
|
|
|
|
We are releasing this statement as a cover document to a letter which, along
|
|
with its attachments, calls the attention of the Senate Armed Service
|
|
Committee to these claims.
|
|
|
|
It is not our intention to attempt to affect the course or outcome of the
|
|
confirmation hearing(s), or to impugn Admiral Inman's fine record or him
|
|
personally in any way.
|
|
|
|
It is our intention in making this information available that these issues be
|
|
addressed publicly; we feel that this is as important for Admiral Inman as it
|
|
is for the country.

|
|
We are writing to bring to your attention controversial claims made about
|
|
statements made by Admiral Inman. These claims have been published in the
|
|
United Kingdom and the United States in the books: (UK) Alien Liaison, 1991,
|
|
and (in the US) Alien Update 1993, and (reiterated in a slightly different
|
|
form) (US) Alien Contact: Top-Secret UFO Files Revealed, 1993 all by Timothy
|
|
Good. Please see bibliography for further information.
|
|
|
|
It is not our intention to attempt to affect the outcome of the confirmation
|
|
hearing(s), or to impugn Admiral Inman's fine record or him personally in any
|
|
way.
|
|
|
|
It is our intention to make this information available so that the confirmation
|
|
hearings provide an opportunity to address this subject and thereby deal with
|
|
these controversial issues. We feel that addressing this issue is as important
|
|
for Admiral Inman as it is for the country.
|
|
|
|
In Mr. Good's books, Mr. Oeschler attributes the statements at issue here to
|
|
Admiral Inman during a July 1989 telephone conversation which was recorded by
|
|
Oeschler only for "note taking purposes." Portions of the transcript of the
|
|
recorded conversation are reproduced in Alien Update and portions of the tape
|
|
have been played on a 1991 episode of the television documentary program Now It
|
|
Can Be Told. Mr. Oeschler credits Admiral Inman with statements indicating:
|
|
|
|
"...that MJ-12 meant something to him." pp. 208 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that he has been aware of a program to "indoctrinate the public" in UFO
|
|
matters prior to his retirement. pp. 211 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that he had "some expertise" in the area of UFO but his information
|
|
was out of date at the time of the conversation. pp. 211 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that the "pace at which things move in that field" (UFO-related
|
|
technological research) was high. pp. 212 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that he was familiar with use of the term "craft" meaning UFO.
|
|
pp. 212 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that he "understood who is behind the technology in the crafts"
|
|
meaning extraterrestrial alien beings. pp. 212-213 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
============================================================================

|
|
|
|
that he referred Mr. Oeschler to CIA Deputy Director for Science
|
|
and Technology Everett Hineman and former Director of Naval
|
|
Intelligence Sumner Shapiro in response to Mr. Oeschler's request
|
|
for "guidance" in his effort to "get closer to MJ-12"
|
|
pp. 213 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that he acknowledged that "recovered vehicles" (i.e. extraterrestrial
|
|
craft) have been in possession of the government for over 10 years,
|
|
that "access to them was them was denied" pp. 214 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
that his "Executive Assistant" acknowledged that the Admiral Inman
|
|
was aware that the matter under discussion (U.S. government recovery
|
|
and possession of UFO craft) was covered by the "national security
|
|
laws." pp. 214 Alien Update
|
|
|
|
The matter of "MJ-12" or "the Majestic Twelve" is raised by Bob Oeschler who
|
|
reports that it has been suggested that Admiral Inman was an actual member or
|
|
an "insider" of MJ-12. This is tantamount to accusing Admiral Inman of being a
|
|
participating member of a 'secret inner government' which has been credited in
|
|
print with everything from merely keeping secret certain facts to intimidation
|
|
of witnesses and much more pervasive and sinister manipulation, for this is the
|
|
reputation of MJ-12.
|
|
|
|
MJ-12 is purportedly an organization set up by President Truman in 1947 in
|
|
response to the purported recovery of a crashed extraterrestrial craft in New
|
|
Mexico. The "evidence" for the existence of MJ-12 is in the nature of a
|
|
"Presidential Briefing Paper." Despite extensive study and even more extensive
|
|
speculation about it's implications, the "MJ-12 Briefing Paper" is by no mean a
|
|
verified document. Recently, after years of "no records" responses to Freedom
|
|
of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the authenticity of the MJ-12
|
|
Paper, government agencies have shifted to responses of "BOGUS," and "Cannot be
|
|
Authenticated as a Genuine ... Document". Reasons for this apparent change in
|
|
policy are unknown. A recent FBI FOIA release containing the "MJ-12 briefing
|
|
paper" is reproduced in attachment No. 4.
|
|
|
|
We quote USA Today article "Inman gets Defense 'Duty'", by Steve Kamarow as
|
|
printed in the FRI./SAT./SUN., DEC. 17-19, 1993 issue:
|
|
|
|
"Sen. John Warner, R-Va., a former Navy secretary, said
|
|
it's "a superb choice ... He has an absolute
|
|
credibility with the men and women in uniform."
|
|
|
|
Yet Admiral Inman is being credited with very controversial statements
|
|
regarding a subject which has, and continues to receive denials from every
|
|
government agency queried. Might Adm. Inman's "absolute credibility" come into
|
|
question were he to be viewed as holding a view opposite to repeated
|
|
official
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|

|
|
|
|
pronouncements?... or of making what are perceived to be very controversial
|
|
statements in a very controversial subject matter? After all, should it be true
|
|
that recovered extraterrestrial artifacts are in the possession of the U.S.
|
|
Government would be the biggest story of all time.
|
|
|
|
Let us assure you that we take the matter of having verifiable information
|
|
available seriously, and reiterate that our purpose is only to facilitate
|
|
addressing these issues.
