Then there was the famous Roswell Incident, in 1947. According to eyewitness reports, on the evening of July 2nd, a bright disc-shaped object was seen over Roswell, New Mexico. The following day, widely scattered wreckage was discovered by a local ranch manager and his two children. The authorities were alerted and an official statement was released confirming that the wreckage of a flying disc had been recovered. A second press statement was immediately issued stating that the wreckage was nothing more than the remains of a weather balloon, which was dutifully displayed at a press conference. Meanwhile the real wreckage was reported to have been sent to Wright Field. The bodies were described by one witness as “like human but they were not humans. The heads were round, the eyes were small, and they had no hair. Their eyes were widely spaced. They were quite small by our standards and their heads were larger in proportion to their bodies. Their clothing seemed to be one-piece and grey in colour. They seemed to be all males and there were a number of them … Military personnel took over and we were told to leave the area and not to talk to anyone about what we had seen.”
According to a document acquired from an intelligence source in 1984, a highly secret panel, code-named “Majestic 12” or “MJ-12”, was formed by President Truman in 1947 to investigate UFOs and report its findings to the President. The document, dated November 18th, 1952 and classified TOP SECRET/MAJIC/EYES ONLY, was allegedly prepared by Admiral Hillenkoetter for President-elect Dwight Eisenhower, and includes the astonishing statement that the remains of four alien bodies were recovered two miles from the Roswell wreckage site.
Five years after the panel was formed, the committee wrote a memo to then President-elect Eisenhower about the UFO project and the need for secrecy:
Implications for the National Security are of continuing importance, in that motives and ultimate intentions of these visitors remain completely unknown … It is for these reasons, as well as the obvious international technological considerations and the ultimate need to avoid a public panic at all costs, that the Majestic 12 Group remains of the unanimous opinion that imposition of the strictest security precautions should continue without interruption into the new administration.
The official explanation of denial is that the document’s authenticity is questionable.
The National Security Agency is reported to be withholding more than one hundred documents relating to UFOs, the CIA approximately fifty documents, and the DIA six.
Major Donald Keyhoe, a former aide to Charles Lindbergh, publicly accused the US government of denying the existence of UFOs, in order to prevent public panic.
In August 1948, when a top secret “Estimate of the Situation” by the Air Technical Intelligence Centre offered its opinion that UFOs were interplanetary visitors, General Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff at the time, ordered the document burned.
Is there a worldwide government conspiracy to conceal the truth from the public?
