- Inside the Military UFO Underground,
- by A.J.S. Rayl
- NATO Meets E.T.
- Name: Robert O. Dean, retired Army command sergeant major Claims:
-
- Back in the Sixties, NATO issued a classified report stating that UFOs
- were real, of extraterrestrial origin, and had visited the earth. This
- extraordinary report was said to come out of NATO's command center the
- Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe (SHAPE), located then just
- outside of Paris, France.
-
- Background: Dean, a highly decorated veteran, served on the front
- lines in both Korea and Viet Nam. In 1963, while assigned to the
- Supreme Headquarters Operataions Center (SHOC), SHPAE's war room,
- headed up by then supreme allied commander of Europe, General Lyman
- Lemnitzer, Dean claims he was able to read the detailed 12 inch thick
- NATO reports on UFOs.
-
- The Story: "SHAPE was one of those choice assignments,. You had to
- have a spotless record and pass security background checks. I applied
- on a whim and got it. I was very proud and please. At SHAPE, I was
- put through more security checks, given a COSMIC TOP SECRET (yes this
- is a real term) clearance, the highest NATO has, and assined to the
- SHOC (the NATO war room). In those days, the activity would run hot
- and cold and much of it would depend on how the Soviets wanted to play
- it. The most intriguing thing to me was that we were continually
- having a problem with large, metallic, circular objects that would
- appear over central Europe; these were reported as visual phenomena
- by our pilots and appeared on radar as well. Some flew in formation,
- and most of the time we spotted them coming out of the Soviet Union,
- over East Germany, West Germany, France, and then they would often
- circle somewhere over the English Channel and head north, disappearing
- from NATO radar over the Norwegian Sea. These objects were very large,
- moving very fast, at very high altitudes--higher than we could reach at
- the time--and they seemed obviously under intellient control.
-
- I was told this had been going on for some time and that in February
- 1961 there had been quite a scare. Fifty of these objects were spotted
- on radar and headed in formation from the Soviet Union toward Europe,
- flying at about 100,000 feet. The Soviets had closed all borders,
- Everybvody went to red alert. All hell broke loose. We really thought
- the War had started. We scrambled. We knew the Russians were
- scrambling. It was the largest number of these objects that had been
- seen. Fortunately--and only by the grace of God--we didn't start
- bombing and neither did the Russians. In nine minutes they were gone.
-
- I was told that then Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, Sir
- Thomas Pike, had been repeatedly requesting information from London
- and Washington about these objects, but nothing woold ever come. We
- found out later that the Columbine-Topaz spy ring in Paris was
- intercepting everything and forwarding it to the KGB, which often got
- intelligence information even before we did. So Pike decided, I was
- told, to develop an in house study to determine whether these objects
- were a military threat.
-
- In the meantime, the UFO matter literally brought about the
- establishment of direct communication between the East and West in
- 1962, which I have always found interesting and ironic. We had pretty
- well determined by that time that these were not Russian craft, and the
- Russians had determined they were not ours. So, we came to an
- understanding, and a direct telephone line was opened between SHOC and
- the Warsaw Pact Headquarters Command. Of course, a setup was always a
- possibility, so we had backup ways of checking out whether the Russians
- were being truthful. But since we were both armed to the teeth and
- WWIII was just ticking away, it was a logical step in the right
- direction. That idea developed into the hotline between the president
- of the US and the soviet premier, following the Cuban Missle Crisis.
-
- Well, by the time I arrived in 1963, everybody had been talking about
- the study and I had heard the rumours, seen the blips on radar,
- witnessed the commotions and some of us occasionally even talked about
- the possibilities. But nothing really prepared me for what I started to
- read in the early morning hours one night in January 1964.
-
- It was about 2:00 a.m. and a relatively quiet night when the SCHOC
- controller on duty went into the vault and came out with this huge
- document. 'Take a look at this,' he said. The title was simply:
- ASSESSMENT: AN EVALUATION OF A POSSIBLE MILITARY THREAT TO ALLIED
- FORCES IN EUROPE. It wasnumbered, #3, stamped COSMIC TOP SECRET, had
- eight inches worth of appendices, dozens of photographs and had been
- signed into the vault by German colonel Heinz Berger, SHOC's head of
- security: I quickly learned that it was based on two and a half years
- of research, was funded by NATO money, and that only 15 copies were
- published -- in English, German, and French. Each one was numbered.
- All were classified and ordered to be kept under lock and key.
-
- Every time I got the chance, from then until I left, I would read a
- section or two in it. It was the most intriguing document I'd ever
- read. It was put together by military representatives of every NATO
- nation and also included contributions from some of the greatest
- scientific minds. These objects were violating all of our known laws
- of physics and the study team had gone to Cambridge, Oxfor, the
- Sorbonne, MIT and other major universities for input on chemistry,
- physics, atmospheric physics, biology, history, [psychology, and even
- theology, all of which were separate appendices.
-
- I read about theories on Einstein's sought after unified field theory,
- the high radiation at various landing sites and UFO reports that dated
- back to the Roman era and up to our own F105 pilots' sightings and
- encounters, and on and on. I had always been a skeptic, but this
- report, well...it concluded that this stuff was not science fiction.
-
- I read about contact encounnters. One incident that had just happened
- in 1963 involved a landing on a Danish farm. According to the report,
- the farmer went aboard with the two little beings and two more human
- looking men who spoke to him in Danish. The report included parts of
- his interrogation by government authorities and their conclusions that
- he was telling the truth. In another incident, according to the
- reports, a craft landed on an Italian airfield and offered to take an
- Italian sergeant for a ride. He wet his pants--that's what it said--
- and was so scared, he didn't go.
-
- The appendix that really got to me was titled 'Autopsies.' I saw
- pictures of a 30 meter disc that had crashed in Timmensdorfer,
- Germany, near the Baltic Sea in 1961. The British Army, according to
- the report, got there first and put up a perimeter. The craft had
- landed in very soft, loamy soil near the Russian border and so hadn't
- destructed, but one third of it was buried in. We and the Russians
- who also quickly showed up had both tracked it.
-
- Inside there were 12 small bodies. All dead. There were pictures of
- the bodies, which looked like the beings known as the 'grays,' being
- laid out and then put on stretchers and loaded into jeeps, and autopsy
- photos, too. Some of the little grays appeared to not be a
- reproductive capable species. The autopsy guys concluded, according
- to the report, that it looked as if they had been cut out of a cookie
- cutter -- clones with no alimentary tract. They did not ingest or
- process food as we know it, nor did it appear that they had any system
- for elimination.
-
- The craft itself was cut up like a pie into six pieces, put on lowboys
- and hauled off. Scuttlebutt was that it was given to the Americans
- and flown to Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Ohio. I looked at
- these picture and couldn't believe it. My skin got cold and I thought,
- My God. I had never really believed we were all alone in the universe,
- but this was hard to swallow.
-
- The major conclusions in the NATO report blew me away. There were
- five:
-
- 1) The planet and human race had been the subject of a detailed
- survey of some kind by several different extra terrestrial
- civilizations, four of which they had identified visually. One race
- looked almost indistinguishable from us. Another resembled humans in
- height, stature, and structure, but with a very gray, pasty skin tone.
- The third race is now popularly known as the grays and the fourth was
- described as reptilian, with vertical pupils and lizard like skin.
-
- 2) These alien visitations had been going on for a very long time, at
- least 200 years--perhaps longer.
-
- 3) The extraterrestirials did not appear hostile since if that were
- their intent they would have already demonstrated their malevolence.
-
- 4) UFO appearances and quick disappearances as well as the flybys were
- demonstrations conducted on purpose to show us some of their
- capabilities.
-
- 5) a process or program of some sort seemed to be underway since flybys
- progressed to landings and eventually contact. I wanted so badly
- to copy this thing. I did take a photograph of the cover sheet,
- which wasn't in and of itself classified. But I didn't want to
- wind up in Fort Leavenworth. So instead I would go to the bathroom
- and take notes--surreptitiously, very carefully. I have been through
- an awful lot in my life, but I've never been able to just walk away
- from that report. I know that I'm taking a chance by violating my
- oaths. But this is the most important issue of our times--so damn
- important that I can't think of anything more important, and the
- public has been deceived and completely kept in the dark about all of
- this for all these years. It's the biggest scientific political
- scandal ever. Besides, what Have I got to lose? I'm 64 years old
- now. Are they going to bump me off? I have told the truth and my
- integrity and credibility stand. When is our government going to tell
- the truth?"
