- QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE TOP SECRET-EYES ONLY UFO BRIEFING DOCUMENTS:
-
- 1. Is there any other evidence that the U.S. government retrieved a crashed
- alien craft outside Roswell, New Mexico in July, 1947?
-
- Moore and Friedman have since 1978 conducted a very, very extensive
- research project concerning the so-called Roswell Incident. To date, 92
- different people have been located and interviewed about the event, 31 of
- whom had first-hand involvement. Included are several generals, the base
- security officer, counter-intelligence corps personnel, the neighbors and
- family of the rancher who discovered the wrecked device, the public
- relations officer of the air base, local news media personnel, etc. etc.
- To date, one book and five research papers have been published presenting
- the data.
-
-
- 2. Is there any proof that the event was first publicized and then covered up
- by the government?
-
- Yes. A press release was first distributed by the Army Air Force at
- Roswell stating that a crashed disc had been recovered. Then shortly
- afterwards the head of the 8th Air Force announced that a mistake had
- been made and that it was only a radar reflector from a weather balloon.
- The officer who took the call from Washington, DC with the instructions
- to cover-up the story has so testified to Friedman and Moore. Many people
- who handled the very strange materials have testified that the material
- could
- not have been from a radar reflector. Ten first-hand witnesses are on
- record as having stated that the object was, in fact, some sort of space
- craft.
-
-
- 3. Was there any evidence of strange writing on the retrieved material?
-
- Yes. five persons who actually handled pieces of the wreckage have
- described very unusual symbols on pieces of the wreckage.
-
-
- 4. Is there any evidence that President-elect Eisenhower received a military
- briefing on 18 November, 1952?
-
- Yes. Information at the Eisenhower Library and in the Truman files
- indicates White House and Pentagon briefings on that date. A Washington
- _Post_ article also confirms a briefing on that date.
-
-
- 5. Is there any evidence that Bush and Forrestal met with Truman on Sept.
- 24th, 1947?
-
- Yes. Forrestal's diary, Bush's files and the Truman Library listing of
- Presidential activities all establish that Bush and Forrestal first met
- with each other and then with Truman on that date. Bush and Forrestal
- often met with each other during the 1947-1949 time frame.
-
-
- 6. Is there any evidence that the Cutler to Twining "Top Secret-Eyes Only"
- memo is genuine?
-
- Yes. There are several factors to be considered here:
- A. It was found in a file box at the National Archives by Moore and
- Shandera who were the first persons to go through the newly
- declassified materials.
- B. The archivist Joanna Williamson who was in charge of the RG 341 file
- is quoted in the London _Observer_ as saying "It was found in the
- files of the U.S. Air Force's Director of Intelligence and is
- certainly genuine."
- C. A very similar in format and content "Top Secret-Eyes Only" memo was
- sent by Cutler to Twining in 1953 about a similar NSC meeting on
- another, unrelated, project.
-
-
- 7. Why is there no signature on the memo?
-
- The file copy was a carbon. Carbons are not normally signed.
-
-
- 8. Is there any reason at all to think that Harvard Astronomer Dr. Donald
- Menzel, who wrote three anti-UFO books and many articles, could really
- have
- been part of a Top Secret-Eyes Only group that knew some UFOs were
- "Identified Alien Craft"?
-
- As a result of extended research by Friedman at Harvard and elsewhere,
- these facts have been established about Menzel:
- A. Menzel once mentioned in a letter written to President-elect Jack
- Kennedy that he possessed a Top Secret-Ultra security clearance.
- B. Menzel claimed to JFK in 1960 that he had a longer continuous
- association with the highly classified National Security Agency (NSA)
- and its predecessor U.S. Navy agency than anyone else in the
- government at that time.
- C. Menzel's association with Dr. Vannevar Bush, wartime head of the
- Office of Scientific Research and Development, dates back to 1934.
- D. Bush was the staunchest Menzel defender at a USAF loyalty hearing in
- 1950. Indeed, Bush had instructed Menzel's attorney to notify him
- (Bush) immediately upon resolution of the loyalty problem.
- E. Menzel worked on classified programs for more than 30 different
- companies.
- F. Menzel is on record as having made numerous trips during 1947 to both
- Washington, DC and New Mexico on government research activities.
- G. Menzel had learned Japanese for his cryptography work for the Navy,
- was familiar with disinformation, and would have been the perfect
- person to show the Roswell writing to.
- H. Menzel had written science fiction and popular newspaper articles for
- major papers. He was the best qualified of the 12 to put out
- disinformation and his first book was translated into Russian.
-
-
- 9. The documents indicate that a second object crashed in Texas on the night
- of December 6th-7th , 1950. Is there any indication that such an event
- ever
- occurred?
-
- Yes. A copy of an official communique was located in files released by
- the
- FBI indicating a "high alert" status about UFOs had been called by the
- Air
- Force on December 8th, 1950. There are also several newspaper articles
- indicating that military leaves at various airbases were abruptly
- cancelled that same day.
-
-
- 10. What about other official documentary evidence?
-
- A formerly Top Secret Canadian memo dated November, 1950, states that
- "the
- matter (of UFOs) is the most highly classified subject in the United
- States Government" and identified Dr. Vannevar Bush as head of a project
- which was trying to discover how UFOs work.
-
-
- 11. Isn't it true that Admiral Hillenkoetter was actually serving in the
- Pacific at the time of the supposed Eisenhower briefing?
-
- No. The facts are that he had been assigned to Pacific duty in November,
- 1950, but he returned as commander of the Brookly, NY, Naval Base in
- September, 1951. In June, 1952, he was named Commandant of the US Navy
- Third District and was based in New York City.
-
-
- 12. Doesn't it seem strange that General Eisenhower had to be briefed in 1952
- on matters about which he surely would have been informed as Army Chief
- of
- Staff years earlier?
-
- Not at all. The facts are that he accepted the job as President of
- Columbia University in June, 1947 -- _before_ the Roswell Incident and
- the
- establishment of Majestic 12. He served until May, 1950, when he began a
- very difficult job in Europe as Supreme Commander of the NATO forces
- trying to unify a number of different military and political factions. He
- remained there until 1952 when he returned to campaign for the
- presidency.
- In other words, he had no "need-to-know" during the period July, 1947
- through November, 1952. His forte was neither intelligence nor
- technology.
