IS IT 1947?  

By  

Bill Foster

      In the distant memory of that seminal year 1947, thanks to the Roswell , New Mexico crash headlines, a few citizens of the United States came to believe, in spite of military denials, two often-scorned observations as true:

1)     Yes, there are UFO’s

2)     Yes, there are alien beings

     What have we actually learned in the sixty years since then?  Sadly, it seems that we have not learned very much as certainty or truth.  Today, more people believe in UFO’s than believe that citizens of the United States under 30 years of age will ever collect Social Security!  Today, we know that over 3 million folks here in the U.S. have reported themselves as abducted.  One in seven people know someone who has seen a UFO or has been abducted.

     Today we know that around the world folks have seen over 15 different types of alien beings and dozens of different types of crafts.  Today in most countries, sightings of UFO’s are considered rather commonplace.  What else do we know for certain?

     Sixty years have passed, thousands of articles have been written, untold books from numerous countries document sightings, ground traces, photographs, implants, abductions and yet, we still do not have, for the general public, acceptable proof of alien visitation.

     Does this mean that I am writing this because I do not believe in the validity of UFO’s or alien beings?  The answer is “no”.  The point of this article is that we still lack the wisdom, will and foresight to unite worldwide efforts into one, joint, ongoing, scientific program to methodically and acceptably prove or disprove, the subject matter.

     If scientists in the United States, in cooperation with scientists in England, France, Spain, Russia, Japan and only a few other countries shared only the current existing knowledge of the subject matter, the entire study could jump-start with a huge leap forward!

     We share knowledge throughout many countries of research and discovery on the subjects of AIDS, Cancer, agriculture, astronomy and even nuclear technology.  Why is the thought of sharing information on the subject of UFO’s so taboo?   Perhaps it is not as taboo as it is clandestine?

     In almost every country we find that it is the military or some covert agency of each country that is in possession of and withholding the information on the subject matter.  The typical excuse given is always the same – National Security.  If national security were such a vital interest that the citizens of these countries could not be informed then why would it not be in the best interest of the military to share that information with the military of other countries?  Now, you see, we may be getting closer to the truth.

There have been many instances of mysterious crashes of unidentified craft in countries where the military of another country came in and ‘rescued’ the goods, so to speak. 

     Offhand I can recall two in Canada and two in Mexico where the United States military could have a quicker response and did so, to retrieve the goods.   The quick response to downed craft is to disallow the viewing by the general public of the involved country.  Do you think that the technology information recovered was shared with the ‘host’ country?  I would suspect, under a general secret agreement, that some of it was.

     Whatever country you live in both you and I are considered unworthy of sharing this knowledge.  We are being ‘protected and sheltered’ by a military system that tells us what they believe we need to know, certainly not all that they actually know.  Is this truly for our benefit – or does it benefit the military?

      Let’s assume that tomorrow you wake up and the headline reads:

                    “Governments admit that aliens and UFO’s are real!’

The first reaction of most citizens could be panic.  If UFO’s are real then the technology must be light years ahead of ours.  This means that the ‘aliens’ can do with us as they wish.  All those science fiction movies were true!  We will all become slaves.   We are all doomed.

     Further reactions could be:

• WORSHIP – There are those who would idolize and pray to the aliens for their technology
• BREAKDOWN OF RELIGION – Many folks would believe the aliens must have a better God, if they themselves are not the Gods.
• BUSINESS FAILURES – Why struggle to build a better business when the aliens have the technology to out produce any corporation on earth?  What can you invent that the aliens have not already thought of?
• MONETARY COLLAPSE – What good is money when the aliens have commodities much more priceless than the stock exchanges of countries, worldwide.
• CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE – Why obey human laws?  Aliens probably have their own laws.
• SUICIDE – Many folks could not endure the shock or adjust to the new world order and would find suicide a viable alternative.

These are just a few of the dire predictions of psychologists and UFOlogists who have studied the potential human impact of actual contact with aliens.

     You can then begin to see why any military, fearing a total loss of power, control and order, would definitely withhold any and all information they may have about aliens or UFO’s from its’ citizens, simply for their own protection.  After all, it is one thing to have two countries fearing each other; it is quite another thing to have both those countries fearing alien domination.

     For these reasons and many others I truly believe that the military establishment, regardless of country, will never, willingly, divulge any prescient information to the general public on the subject.  Likewise, the political establishment of any country would suffer under the same belief system.  Scientists cannot volunteer to research a subject unless there is sufficient funding for the study.  Funding comes from – military or government sources.  

     Now you have the perfect circle of silence.  This circle could only be broken by:

• UFO’s and aliens actually showing themselves to a massive audience
• Private, worldwide, funding for research and study, in the billions of dollars
• A large number, (fifty to one hundred), of whistleblowers, (i.e. Bob Lazar and Philip Corso), who come forward at the same time, with the same information, to make it viable and verifiable
• One breakaway country who actually decided to reveal all it knows about the subject to its’ citizens, in spite of the intense pressure from other countries, to remain silent.

Short of these four conditions, it is doubtful that in our lifetime we will ever learn the full extent of what our government knows about the subject matter.  It does not matter what civilized country you live in, the code of silence within the military remains virtually the same.

     I would welcome hearing opposing viewpoints because I would like to remain an optimist!
