Dear Folk: Here is some information that was sent to me about NASA........

.........................................................................



Interresting little NASA article, thought you'all might be interrested in.

J--- F- M--------



I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have internet access.



Now it appears that someone sent the commands to the Clementine spacecraft

to exhaust all of the fuel on board so it is essentially DIW (Dead in the

Water).  NASA and DOD claim there was a computer glitch, however under

normal circumstances, this could only be commanded from the ground.  This

apparently is a desperately cheap shot at sabotaging a perfectly working

spacecraft so that is cannot perform the rest of the mission Congressmen

have insisted on it performing.  Apparently, Clementine has found evidence

of moon bases and artificial structures on the moon.  Has anyone called

for an investigation of this act of space sabotage?





The following article is by E----- D------- an organizer with the

Operation Right To Know (ORTK).  ORTK is the group that is sponsoring a

demonstration 23 May 1994 at noon at the Pentagon (South Parking) to

protest UFO secrecy.  She would be happy to dialog with anyone about the

article or the demonstration.



Article begins:





How long can NASA keep the Big Secret?



by E------ D-------, Operation Right to Know (202-232-2410)



There are indications the space agency NASA is so pregnant with the

UFO secret it can hardly contain the secret much longer. It seems

people who work  at NASA are feeling used and uneasy about having

to keep the UFO secret, and  that in fact some of these people have

decided to let the secret out.  For example, a former NASA director

says point blank in the April issue  of Int'l UFO Library Magazine

that the Mars Observer probe is not dead but is  in fact sending

pictures back to NASA. Furthermore, says the author Maurice

Chatelain, some of these pictures will be published soon "despite

the official  cover-up."



This may tie in with a current rumor that a month ago two people

from  NASA took information on the cover-up to the BBC in England.

The expectation  was the BBC would air the information by now, but

they haven't. Is this what  Chatelain was referring to?



In the meantime, the west coast edition of NBC TV news broadcast

this  remarkable story May 3: the NASA-DOD Clementine mission now

leaving the moon  has been diverted to Mars instead of going to an

asteroid, as previously  planned. This information was not

broadcast on the east coast. Mars  researchers who phoned a video

clipping service for copies were first told  copies were available

and then told they weren't. Next day the New York Times  reported

that due to "budget cuts," DOD is trying to kill the Clementine

mission entirely.



For some time now we've been hearing about cliques in the

bureaucracy-- groups of people in DOD, NASA, and intelligence who

meet unofficially to talk  about UFOs. My hunch is some of these

cliques have decided to take matters  into their own hands, and the

astronauts are involved. For example, Gordon  Cooper is now

reported to have given an interview in which he discusses the

back-engineering of ET craft.



Richard Hoagland, the dogged pursuer of NASA, is responsible for

some of  this pressure. Another factor is it looks like NASA is in a

struggle with another agency. For example, there were two attempts

to sabotage the Mars Observer  camera before the Observer left.

Astounding! Hoagland brought this story out.  Trash was twice

dumped inside the camera's lens.*



Seems like somebody was screaming a big "No!" to NASA about going

to  Mars at all, and indeed they might--because it is the fallout

from the  "failed" Mars Observer mission that has accelerated

NASA's loss of control  over the Big Secret.



If NASA hadn't gone back to Mars last year, the agency could have

kept a  lid on the controversy over the anomalous landforms on Mars

(the Cydonia  "face" and associated structures). But once in the

air, NASA came under  intense pressure to re-photograph the face.

Speculation is the unexpectedly  strong pressure is why NASA

decided to claim the mission was lost. And just  before the loss

was announced, a new element for NASA to cope with had arisen --

the formidable Stanley McDaniel.



Some people think the McDaniel Report on NASA and the Cydonia

landforms  drove NASA to take its desperate step. A report may not

sound like much, but  that's only until your read the McDaniel

Report. It is a devastating critique  of NASA and also exposes Carl

Sagan as a disinformation agent. Why haven't Mr.  Lichtenstein, Mr.

Rockefeller, Mr. Bigelow, Mr. Andrus, or Mr. Hall funded  this high

quality academic report for distribution to Congress?



If NASA has lied about the loss of the Mars Observer, it is the

most  audacious act of political deception this century. Whether

decisive or not,  McDaniel added to the heat on NASA. One NASA

spokesman went on TV showing  signs of stress, and 10 minutes later

NASA announced the Mars Observer was  lost. Right away the leaks

began. Hoagland, McDaniel, Bob Oechsler, and others  received calls

saying the announcement was a cover story. Now former NASA

Director of Communications Maurice Chatelain has put it into print.



Some people who work at NASA are acting strangely. For example,

they  meet with relative strangers in crowded public places and

speak in loud voices  about the top secret deception. NASA

scientists are accompanying some ET  researchers on UFO-watching

expeditions and seeing UFOs with them.  When the interview with

Gordon Cooper comes out in which Cooper talks  about

back-engineering alien craft, the cover-up will surely be near its

end.  And the astronauts have been sidling up to this for a while.



Three years ago Cooper's 1978 letter to the UN calling UFOs

"extraterrestrial vehicles" was published; and in 1991 Edgar

Mitchell talked  about government extraterrestrial secrets on Oprah

Winfrey. Now comes Maurice  Chatelain. His article details 9

separate occasions when UFOs observed,  stalked, or assaulted US

spacecraft, including the exact date, names of the  astronauts on

the mission and what occurred.



We have recently learned that the Ringling Bros extravaganza

"Cosmic  Journey" has been revived. Astronauts were involved in

original concept, in  the story brought out by Bob Oechsler and Tim

Good. The concept was a public  exhibition of US space

technology--and UFOs/ET. The project was cancelled. But  about a

month ago, a Cosmic Journey staff member bought $150 worth of UFO

books at a Washington DC bookstore. One researcher made inquiries

and reached  a Ringling Bros contractor, Ed Buckbee of Huntsville,

Alabama. Buckbee said  that Cosmic Journey "will not get into the

UFO issue until later."



And according to Reuters Dec. 1, 1993, one of the current

astronauts  says he is "trying to communicate with the life out

there." Astronaut Storey  Musgrave, member of the Hubble repair

mission, told a reporter: "When I'm  circling I try in whatever

ways I can to get them to come down and get me."  Mr. Musgrave

sounds like an "experiencer," doesn't he?



Richard Hoagland says some Congresspeople were about to get

together  recently for a conference on Mars, but NASA exerted

"tremendous pressure" to  get the conference cancelled. Stan

McDaniel, who was also involved, says, "We  were told government

people would be there, and then they disappeared."  McDaniel could

not confirm Hoagland's claim that threats were made against

members of Congress.



Hoagland says that people who are talking to him have been offered

jobs  to shut them up. "Come and work with us on the 'dark side',"

Hoagland says  they were told.



Instead of Mars, Hoagland now is focussed on the moon. There are

artificial structures on the moon, he claims, and so does Maurice

Chatelain.  In his article, Chatelain casually drops the bombshell

that the Apollo mission  found "several mysterious geometric

structures of unnatural origin" on the  moon. And in fact some sort

of startling new picture book has just been  published:

Extraterrestrial Archaeology, by David Childress.**  Chatelain says

he's going to reveal what happened to the astronauts on the moon in

a  forthcoming article.



According to UFO researcher Bill Hamilton, x-space programer Brian

O'Leary says the Air Force has "its own secret space program and

its own  military astronauts." Hamilton's 1991 book, Cosmic Top

Secret, reports on an  amazing newspaper article: August 7, 1989

the LA Herald-Examiner ran a story  which stated DOD was

dismantling a secret $5 billion coast-to-coast space  complex and

would now begin collaborating with NASA's civilian space shuttle.

The article stated that a secret cadre of 32 military astronauts

based in LA  was disbanded in 1988. If this story is true, it

sounds like DOD moved a major  clandestine operation into NASA in

1988-89, and that may be the key to what is  happening now at NASA.



Whoever in NASA put the two Viking pictures of the face on Mars

into the  open record 17 years ago is an unsung patriot. From what

I've heard, however,  not all the interesting pictures were put

out. Hear's what Mars researchers  Vince DiPietro and John

Brandenburg told me happened a few years ago. A  graduate student

at the Univ. of Louisiana phoned DiPietro excitedly several  times

and described a numbered NASA Viking photo of Mars on display in

the  department. The Martian surface photo showed a group of 6

faces. Each looked  just like the Cydonia face. When DiPietro tried

to get the photo, a professor told him it was "lost."



Another thing that's happening is that UFO researchers are

beginning to  realize that the network of surveillance satellites

the U.S. had in orbit is  fully capable of tracking UFOs and

therefore, researchers are realizing, NASA  must be tracking UFOs.

This introduces a new dimension into the cover-up. It means much of

the data coming into NASA has ET information, and this  has to be

scrubbed out. Data from the space probes and the Shuttle missions,

as well as the vast intelligence product that pours in from the

surveillance  satellites--including the orbiting telescopes, the

commercial and  environmental satellites--has ET evidence that NASA

has to get rid of before  the data can be released to anyone.



There has to be a gate keeper first in line for all incoming data

who  captures and reroutes ET evidence into black channels. And

this is just what  we saw in the form of Michael Malin, whom NASA

put in charge of all Mars  Observer photos and said he could keep

them for 6 months before release. An example of scrubbing is

related by Maryland resident Don Ratsch from  Houston researcher

Don Madeley. They say a female NASA employee was shown how  NASA

technicians air brush images of UFOs which show up on NASA's

pictures of  earth.



Don Ratsch was the one who recorded the apparent voice of a shuttle

astronaut from space saying, "We have the alien spacecraft under

observation"- -but the authenticity could not be proved. Ratsch

went on to record the STS-48  tape from NASA TV Sept. 1991. The

tape shows inexplicable moving lights in the  upper atmosphere, one

of which appears to be shooting at the other. Adding to  that,

Linda Howe says a military officer told her he's hearing reports of

"some kind of war in space." Could it be? Naw.



Still, the leaks are everywhere. Even Rush Limbaugh. He told his

radio  audience in late 1992 that a trusted friend in NASA said the

Hubble telescope  was never broken, but was being used to study ET

in some way. In the meantime,  I personally learned of a fellow at

McDonnell-Douglas who also said the Hubble  was operating in the

black.



This fellow reported he was doing interface programs that enabled

innocuous-sounding instructions from the ground to translate into

different,  secret directives to the telescope. He said the output

was not broadcast to  the ground, but was downloaded by hand on

Shuttle missions.



So who's squeezing NASA the hardest? The CIA? Hoagland and

McDaniel? The  aliens? A friend of mine called NASA recently and

cajoled a press officer into  a confidential conversation.

According to my friend, the press officer said,  "NASA is very

fragmented and many people in NASA want the truth." And then

added, "NASA is no longer running itself. A major intelligence

group is now  running NASA."



So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Your tax dollars at

work!

       Let's hazard a theory. In 1988 DOD moved clandestine space

operations  into NASA, and since then DOD or some "major

intelligence group" has been  trying to run NASA. As a result, NASA

is now in a power struggle with this  other group. The two groups

violently disagreed on how to run the Mars  Observer and the

Clementine missions, and evidence of this conflict broke into  the

open.



In the ranks at NASA, there are several sources of discontent.

People  who want to run a civilian space program, not an

intelligence operation.  People who are angry at being shut out of

the Big Secret but who still have to  tell lies to the public. And

people who are worried they could be indicted and  go to jail for

their roles in maintaining the Big Secret.



Even though the ruling groups disagree, they are still determined

to  maintain their hold on the Big Secret. But the ranks at NASA

are breaking and  the ruling groups are losing control over the

ranks. It's about time!
