American Activist Issues Appeal to President Obama to
Release U.S.
UFO Files
TorontoON Canada May 4, 2009– American political activist
Stephen G. Bassett Director of the Paradigm Research Group has issued a formal
statement appealing to President Barack Obama to publicly acknowledge the
existence of an Extraterrestrial presence and the truth embargo surrounding the US
government’s practice of sequestering information on UFOs. The Paradigm Research Group (PRG) advocates politically for an end to the government imposed truth embargo of the
facts surrounding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
Mr. Bassett’s statement was presented at the National
Press Club in Washington DC
on Monday April 20, 2009 following PRG’s X-Conference at the Gaithersburg
Hilton featuring former Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell who also called upon
the US
government to step forward and release what it knows about the extraterrestrial
presence. CNN’s cameras on the scene at the National Press Club provided
live coverage of the event - streamed over its CNN.COM network.
In his appeal to the Obama administration Mr. Bassett
stated, “I believe, as I’ve said
publicly on many, many radio and television programs that the Obama
administration through the nature of who they have appointed… has made a
decision to disclose the ET presence… We are encouraging the
administration which has dedicated itself to open and transparent government to
commit the ultimate act of openness and transparency and to do it immediately
before this truth embargo becomes its embargo…”
Mr. Bassett went on to say, “If they choose not to disclose by the end of May and
wait … there is a very real possibility… that another nation will
in fact act proactively on their own and disclose the extraterrestrial presence
and they will wake up and they will pick up the Washington Post or the Washington
Times and the headline will read, ‘President Sarkozy of France today will
tell the French people about the confirmation of the extraterrestrial
presence’ and provide evidence from the French military files and we will
follow and they will lead. That’s what’s at issue today. I think
it’s a pretty big issue.”
Mr. Bassett also specified that if the Obama administration
fails to disclose, he and the substantial PRG resources would launch a major
media campaign that would include extensive documentation of the Clinton
administration’s knowledge of the UFO/ET matter through what is now known
as the Rockefeller
Initiative. The Rockefeller Initiative covers documentation from 1993 to
1996 and includes over 50 letters and memos clearly illustrating the Clinton
White House administration’s involvement in the UFO/ET matter.
ZlandCommunications has it on good authority that this documentation, if examined
by any investigative main stream media outlet, would prove beyond any doubt
that the UFO/ET matter has been discussed and analyzed at the highest possible
levels in the White House; this includes the Obama administration’s
current Secretary of State Ms. Hillary
Clinton who was the First Lady at the time.

Famed NASA Astronaut confirms Extraterrestrials are here

by Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, U.S. Space Shuttle Fleet, KSC, Florida 1958 to 1992


STS-80 Lift off from Pad 39B
Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this lengthy flight a very strange event occurred that even had crewman Dr. Story Musgrave unable to explain what he observed from the shuttle windows.

A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high.



The disc was first observed to miraculously appear from out of nowhere, flying through the clouds below and progressing from right to left as the astronauts stared in utter amazement. The outer rim of the craft appeared to be rotating counter-clockwise. It was very large (compared to common space junk and breakaway ice), approximately 50 to 150 feet in diameter.

Astronaut Dr. Story Musgrave, a Payload Specialist on the STS-80 Mission, was interviewed following the flight. As he viewed a videotape of the incident which showed lightning flashes in the atmosphere, the city lights of Denver, Colorado and other earthbound sights, he stated: "I don't know what it is. Whether it's a washer, debris, ice particles, I don't know. But it's characteristic of the thousands of things which I've seen. What is not so characteristic is it appears to come from no where. You would think that if it's facing the dark side or facing a side towards you which is not reflecting the sun, you would think that you would see something there. It's really impressive."


Story Musgrave (STS-80)

During an earlier interview, Dr. Musgrave stated he attempted to communicate with ET life forms during each of his six missions. He actually asked them to take him with them. Now that's an astronaut with a lot of courage. Dr. Musgrave retired after this flight from NASA. Since then he's been spreading his considered opinion that alien life exists. When Musgrave speaks of this, it's no great leap for one to assume he's admitting knowledge of alien life. As the final slide of a "Grey" ET was shown during a recent astronomy presentation by Dr. Musgrave, he made this surprising comment: "These guys are real... I guarantee it!" Dr. Musgrave does know the truth. This author guarantees it!

Consider that carefully. These are world renown scientists making statements almost beyond belief. Dr. von Braun and others of his stature have the courage to disclose "sensitive" information, but obviously the leaders of the USA and the world do not. If billions could find a way of coping with the overwhelming threat of atomic annihilation for half a century, it is reasonable to assume we can cope with the knowledge of these "Other Intelligence's" from the stars. We can cope with the fact they are visiting earth, and have been since the beginning of history. We must. Those still asleep must open their eyes. We Are Not Alone.

Governments Should Declare UFOs Exist, Says Researcher

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/16147/
By Jasper Seren and Joan Delaney
Epoch Times Staff Apr 29, 2009

For years, governments around the world have been very careful to keep information gathered about Unidentified Flying Objects out of the public eye.

But finally this February, the Canadian government opened thousands of federal records covering UFO sightings between 1947 and the early 1980s. France, Britain, Chile, Russia and Denmark have also opened their files to some degree to the public.

Britain, which released its first batch of “X files” the day after the Vatican astronomer declared in May 2008 that extraterrestrial life is “part of creation,” will release more records over the next four years.

With this momentum, Alberta UFO researcher and author Jim Moroney says the time has come for governments to go one step further and make a pronouncement that UFOs do indeed exist.

“To reduce rumours and misinformation and to frame single or multiple UFO events, it would be advisable to announce that UFO’s exist as early as possible,” says Moroney, an instructor at the University of Calgary and author of The New Bridge – Planning for the Extraterrestrial Presence.

“I am convinced that it is time for us to make a considerable effort to lift the veil of fear and uncertainty about this subject and develop an appropriate response,” he says.

While the release of the files is “a good start,” Moroney says governments now need to “develop a more concrete strategic plan to effectively deal with the increasing UFO activity and the public’s corresponding increase in demands for accurate, reliable, and truthful information.”

While it is widely surmised that the reason governments keep UFO records secret is to avoid widespread panic, Moroney, who has a background in science and is executive director for the Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association, says that’s not likely to happen. In fact, withholding information could even be counter-productive.

“From our work with disaster planning, the evidence shows that public panic is rare and most rare when people have been candidly informed,” he says.

“There is no sound scientific basis for withholding information about the UFO phenomenon from the public. In fact the evidence shows that the longer officials withhold any worrisome information, the more frightening the information will seem when it is revealed, especially when it is revealed by an outside source.”

The 9,000-plus Canadian files are different from those of other countries in that they don't only list UFO sightings but also include analyses and inter-departmental meetings of Canadian officials on the issue.

While Washington is still keeping its UFO records tight to its chest, ufologists are hopeful that President Barack Obama’s "change agenda” will soon result in the country’s huge UFO archives being released to the world.

In an interview on Larry King Live, American UFO expert Peter Davenport called it “encouraging” that some countries are opening up their UFO files, and said he hopes the U.S. government will allow those in senior positions who have been sworn to secrecy to speak publicly about what they know.

"I would look to the United States now to do the same [as other countries], and what I would like to see is somebody senior in the U.S. government, in the military and intelligence communities, say to its people, ‘If you know anything about the UFO phenomenon you are free to talk to the press and to the American public.’ That would solve the problem in a hurry.”

Moroney, who has been researching UFOs for over 20 years, says keeping the public out of the loop is “appallingly short-sighted.”

“UFO communication messages must include information about what the public can do. The public is entitled to information that affects their lives and their families. Explaining what individuals can do will empower them to participate in activities that may be beneficial to improving our understanding of the phenomenon.”

A memo in the Canadian files details a UFO sighting at Shag Harbour, Newfoundland, witnessed by an RCMP officer and six civilians on the night of October 4, 1967.

The memo describes how the witnesses reported seeing an object “60 feet in length, moving in an easterly direction before it descended rapidly into the water, making a bright splash on impact…. A single white light appeared on the surface of the water for a short period of time.”

In the U.S., one of the most remarkable sightings was the so-called “Pheonix lights wave” of 1997, in which a craft estimated to be a mile in length, along with some smaller UFOs, moved over the state of Nevada and was witnessed by thousands.

Apollo 14 veteran Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who in 1971 became the sixth man to walk on the moon, told a British radio station in July 2008 that Earth is being visited by alien beings and “the UFO phenomenon is real, though it has been covered up by our governments for a very long time.”

Mitchell referred to the famous Roswell incident of 1947 in which it is believed that the U.S. Government covered up the crash and subsequent salvage of an alien craft and the beings it carried.

However, Mitchell said that with public awareness of UFOs increasing, there are fewer efforts by governments to engage in cover ups and misinformation. He added that he thinks “we are heading towards a major disclosure” on UFOs.

“It is no longer a question of when will humanity interact with extraterrestrials, but rather the much more difficult question of how they have decided to interact with us,” Moroney says.
