SUBJECT: UPDATE/SITUATION REPORT FOR 1988 BY W. ENGLISH      FILE: UFO2918




   by William S. English


                              DEDICATION

      I  would  like very much to dedicate this to the late  Jim and
   Corral Lorenzen, founders and pioneers in the field of UFO  Studies
   and Aerial Phenomena,  and to all the men and women who, over the
   years  have risked so much to gather the evidence and reports that
   have made this field both controversial and necessary.

                             INTRODUCTION

      During  the  past  three  to four decades  there  have  been  a
   continual  stream  of reported sightings of Unidentified Flying
   Objects, alleged abductions of human-beings by aliens, contact of
   human-beings  by  aliens,  animal and human mutilations by alien-
   beings, alien bases, and rumors of alien invasion.
      In addition to the questions that these things alone bring up,
   there  are also the added questions of religious and moral ethics.
   Was god in fact an alien-being,  or was christ constructed by the
   aliens as a bio-genetic/social experiment?  If this is in fact the
   case,  what  effect will it have upon the social structure of our
   world  and our  race as human-beings?   Will we as humans  band
   together  as  one  ?  Or will we fall to pieces  and destroy  one
   another ?  Most importantly,  we must ask the question :"what are
   we as humans prepared to do in the event that all of this is true
   or partially true?

      Bearing all of this in mind,  we will explore the possibilities
   and  offer up some interesting speculations into these and  other
   questions that we will review and discuss throughout  this
   document.

   Part One

      In  1976,  while  working as a Data Analyst  for  the  United
   States  Department of Defence Security Services Command at  RAF
   Chicksands,  England. I had the task of analyzing a copy of what
   was entitled Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.
     Ostensively the government published Blue Book Reports #1 through
   12 and 14 on to the last report,  but claims that it in fact never
   published a report numbered 13.   One of the many excuses given by
   the  Air  Force  was that there was never a number 13 because  of
   superstitions about the number.  One of the many arguments against
   this excuse is that the government had never before cared one wit
   for superstition, and why should they all of a sudden do so now???
      Several years went by with this being the pat excuse until June
   of 1977,  when the report came across my disk at Security Services
   with a disposition order to read and analyze.
      The  report  was  an annotated version, with photographs and
   various scientific data reports on findings of research that was
   contained within the publication.   Among the photographs  were
   several of Aliens that were being autopsied and some that appeared
   to be alive.  Much of the data it contained dealt with the autopsy
   findings and a great deal of technological data.  Much of  the
   technological data dealt with the research performed  on  the
   recovered vehicles or space craft and there was some mention of
   animal and human mutilation,  with the report of several incidents.

      This in itself wouldn't mean a great deal,  were it not for the
   fact  that during the past twelve years there have  been several
   attempts  on my life.   These attempts,  I believe,  have been in
   order to keep me quiet about what I saw.  Shortly after my viewing
   of  the documents I was,  without warning,  released under duress
   from my job and deported from the country without even being able
   to say good-bye to my wife and children,  who remained in England,
   and who are still there to this day.


   MY BEGINNING ASSOCIATION WITH APRO


      For the record,  and also to clear up certain rumors that have
   been  flying  around  for the past  several  years the following
   details  certain circumstances that took place from 1977 to 1981.
   I  add  this since I am the focal point for several of the nasty
   rumors  that  have  been flying concerning my  validity and the
   validity of my reported viewing of Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.

      Very shortly after my forced return to the United States and my
   subsequent  return to Tucson Arizona.   I had the occasion to be
   present  at  Pima Community College for a lecture that  was being
   given by Stanton Friedman,  on the subject of UFOs.  Because of my
   personal experiences it is understandable that I  would   be
   extremely interested in the lecture, thus my presence.



      During  the course of Stanton's lecture I found that there were
   certain  things he said that I wasn't to terribly impressed with.
   Not, mind you,  because he was a bad speaker, on the contrary, he
   was an excellent speaker. But more because the information that he
   was imparting was inaccurate,  based on what I at the time knew to
   be  true.    One point did come up during the course of his speech
   that struck home.   His comment that Blue Book Report #13 did not
   exist.  I knew this to be a fallacy as I had read the  report
   several  months  previously,  and  at  the end of his lecture  I
   approached him and told him so.   During the next several  hours,
   Stanton  Friedman,  Jim  Lorenzen,  and  Allen  Benz grilled  me
   extensively  at  the  APRO  offices  while recording  the  entire
   session.   Allen Benz, now the president of the Foundation for UFO
   Research in Tucson will verify this fact.
      During  the  interview  I  imparted  everything that  I could
   possibly  remember concerning the incident and then left,  not to
   return for several months.
      I  remember  this  period of my life extremely well as I  was
   approaching my first christmas without my family and shortly after
   that my twenty-fifth birthday. Which for some reason was extremely
   traumatic for me.  In short,  it was one of the worst years of my
   life.   I  had been forcefully separated from my family,  and had
   very little communication with them.   I was reaching an age when
   most men had a home, family, and all of the mundane problems that
   go along with it, and I wanted very much to have a piece of  the
   same thing.   I was extremely confused because I didn't know or
   understand why all of this had happened to me. I came very close
   to committing suicide that year,  so my recollection of it is very
   clear.
      It  wasn't until several months later that I began to realize
   just exactly what was happening,  and as a result I began to seek
   out answers.  Occasionally I would stop by the APRO offices and
   talk with Christine Panter, the secretary that worked there, and
   go digging through the files trying to learn everything  that  I
   could on the subject of UFOs.
     While  contending  with my own problems of trying to find the
   answers as to why I had lost my family,  and slowly discovering
   that the government was in fact responsible for everything, I was
   inadvertently fighting for my own life.  On several occasions,
   without realizing the true cause of it,  I began to experience a
   series of potentially fatal accidents and the loss of several
   extremely good jobs.  On one occasion my apartment caught fire,
   destroying everything that I had, and killing a pet hamster.  At
   the time the fire started, I would have normally been asleep as it
   was my usual habit to stay up until the early hours of the morning
   working on various projects for a small leather business I was in
   the  process of starting. That day however,  I was spending the
   night with a friend, taking care of work that he had offered me at
   his  home.  A  lucky circumstance?  I suppose it would have been
   except the Tucson Fire Department determined that it was arson.
    On one other occasion I was driving to Sierra Vista,  Arizona,
   on the back of my motorcycle, to visit with my father at  his
   office. While driving down Interstate 10, a big black limo  (a
   continental I believe) began pacing me at the edge of town, and
   followed me almost the whole distance until there was no traffic
   for several miles in either direction, whereupon it began trying
   to force me off of the road by pulling up beside me and in front
   of me.  In this case I was extremely lucky and was able to ride
   into the desert where the car was unable to follow.  On the return
   trip,  my father followed me closely in his car to make sure that
   it didn't  happen again.   Over the years that have been over  15
   attempts on my life, the most recent being in December of 1988.

   THE TROUBLE WITH APRO/BILL ENGLISH THE GOVERNMENT AGENT

      It was over a period of four years that this continued off and
   on.   During all of this, Allen Benz and myself became friends and
   on    occasion  I would do some work for APRO and at the same time
   help  myself  financially when the opportunity  arose.   One such
   occasion  resulted in my having to travel to Los Angeles to act as
   consultant and  representative  of  APRO  for  Barry  &  Enwright
   Productions.   Barry & Enwright were in the process of Producing a
   pilot program for television entitled "Strange as it Seems."  This
   was  to  be  their answer to the  then  popular  program,  "That's
   Incredible."  Unknown to me at the time,  they had also contacted
   Dr.  J.  Allen Hynek of the Center For UFO studies, and who's name
   figured  so prominently in the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, as it
   was  he who had also read the report and stated that  although  he
   had not seen the evidence first hand,  felt that everything in the
   report was true.
      Dr. Hynek and I sat in the green room for the better part of an
   hour  while waiting for our appearance on the stage,  and I asked
   him  about the report and why it was that he and  the  government
   denied it's existence.  At first he tried to tell me that I didn't
   know what I was talking about,  and told me not to bother him.  It
   wasn't  until  I became angry and told him that I had seen  report
   #13 and analyzed it for the government while working for Air Force
   Security  Services in England,  and that his signed  initials  and
   signature  was  all  over the damned thing,  so not  to  even try
   denying  it  to me.  that he finally admitted to  it's existence.
   But,  he  also said that he would never admit to it publicly, and
   would call me a liar should I try to get him involved in anything.
   I asked him the standard question ;"why me?  Why was I the one  to
   have  to analyze it and lose everything?  His  answer...."Somebody
   had to do it"
    Very  shortly  after  this,   Allen  Benz  and myself   became
   embroiled  in  an  internal conflict with APRO which resulted  in
   several  law suits.   Contrary to the belief that  Coral Lorenzen
   would have had people believe at the time, we were not government
   agents, and we were not trying to take control of APRO.
      During  the  course  of his duties  as  APRO  Librarian, Allen
   discovered that the organization was in serious danger of  losing
   it's non-profit status and that the then listed board of directors
   were  in danger of losing considerably more than that if APRO were
   ever sued. When Allen approached Jim and Coral Lorenzen with this
   problem  he was completely ignored.   After it became apparent to
   him what the situation was he came to me.

   After  carefully reviewing the documents and the records of APRO,
   we  discovered that the organization was in fact in violation of
   the non-profit status as there had not been an election of  new
   board members for over a period of five years, and that the annual
   report that was required by the Arizona  State  Corporation
   Commission had  not been filed for an even longer time.   This
   clearly was a violation and APRO technically had lost it's  non-
   profit status.  At that point, if APRO were ever sued by anyone,
   anyone at all, the members of the listed Board,  under which, APRO
   continued  to operate would have been held personally  liable  and
   any  and  all  of their personal assets could  have  been  forfeit
   should a suit gone against them.
      It  was because  of this,  and the fact  that  the  Lorenzen's
   refused to take any action on the matter, that Allen and I decided
   to    push  the issue and force a vote of a new board of directors.
   With  this in mind,  Allen and I began to send out proxy forms  to
   the  general membership to force a board election.  It was never
   our  intention to take control of APRO,  but rather try and force
   the organization and the Lorenzen's to meet the regulations as set
   down  by the ASCC so that there could not be any repercussions  on
   the governing body. Unfortunately we got beat at our own game.
      Unknown to  us Jim had gone to the Post Master in  Tucson  and
   managed  to convince him to route all of the Proxy forms back  to
   him  rather  than to Allen and myself as they had been  addressed.
   When  it came time for the meeting Jim voted the proxies that  he
   had  in his position and we were left with egg on our faces.  Not
   content  with  that,  Coral  then  started publishing  defamatory
   statements in the APRO News letter concerning Allen and  myself,
   saying  that  I was an agent of the government who's only purpose
   was  to  destroy APRO,  and claiming that Allen was duped by  me,
   which  in  turn  forced us to seek legal counsel  and  bring suit
   against them for slander. I was unable to continue with the suit
   as other problems arose at that time that forced me to leave Allen
   pretty  much  taking care of the whole thing and  shouldering  the
   financial  burden  as  well.    In  the  interim,   Allen's lawyer
   apparently got them to retract their statements under the  threat
   of suit, but at the same time Coral then got one of her cronies in
   California to file suit against Allen and I in a California court.
   All  of  this was unknown to me at the time as I was then  on the
   run.   Additional  details of what took place after that are with
   Allen Benz.

   I GO ON THE LAM

      While all of this was going on there were other matters taking
   place  that I had to deal with.  Most notably that of  Col.Robert
   Black,  and  his  former  Operations  Sgt. from RAF Chicksands.
   Apparently, shortly after my forced departure, they to were forced
   to    leave under pretty much the same circumstances.  Some how or
   other  they  were able to locate me and we,  after much suspicious
   repartee, agreed to take a serious look at the situations that had
   arisen.   Black  had gotten information that some where along the
   edge of the White Sands Missile Test Range there was an alien craft
   that  had been buried because it was simply to big to transport.
   We didn't know at the time whether or not it was true, but being
   the fools that we were,  we decided to check it out. I sold  my
   business  and  the others put up their share of the money  to
   purchase a van and have it specially equipped with such things as
   ground   radar   (marine   radar  system   for   private boats),
   magnetometers, gravitometers,   sound  detectors,  and infrared
   sensoring  devices.  We also carried in the van metal detectors,
   water, food and camping equipment.
      After linking up with them in Belen New Mexico, we traveled in
   the van around the entire perimeter of the Test range, going up to
   the  Trinity  Atomic  Test  Site  and  working our way down to
   Alamogordo,  New  Mexico,  where we then entered through the White
   Sands National Monument late in the evening.   We proceeded to the
   northern  most boundary of the monument where we then entered  the
   test range.   We had been on the range approximately an hour and a
   half at the time.    I was outside of the van,  about 500 to 1,000
   meters in front,  with a metal detector checking to  see  if  I
   couldn't  find  any kind of metallic object that would give  any
   indication as to the possible finding of the alien craft.  We did
   this  as  some of the information Black had, indicated that  the
   craft had crashed somewhat closer to Holloman Air Force Base than
   any other place.
      As  I was walking in front of the van,  Black and the Sergeant
   were  riding in it,  following me with the headlights on so that I
   wouldn't  step on anything without seeing it first.   It was here
   that  I heard a familiar sound that instinctively made  me scream
   incoming  and hit the dirt face first without even thinking.  It
   was an incoming rocket that hit the van, blowing it up and killing
   the two of them.  There can be no mistake that they were killed as
   there  was absolutely nothing left of the van except  debris.  At
   this point, after assessing the situation quickly, I took off in a
   westerly direction, not wanting to be next on the hit parade. For
   the  next several days I avoided helicopters and what appeared  to
   be search parties, traveling only at night until I made it off the
   range  and onto a highway, where I hitched hiked back to Tucson,
   and ultimately to the home of Wendelle Stevens.
      When  I arrived at Wendelle's I told him everything  that had
   taken  place and then got him to drive me to a girl friend's house
   where he dropped me off a couple of blocks away.  It was then that
   I  determined that they,  whoever they were,  knew who I  was and
   where I was at.  It was time to disappear.
      To  accomplish  this,  I began by breaking off my relationship
   with my girl friend at the time,  and moving to a small trailer on
   the west side of town, where I then packed all of my belongings or
   sold them off.   I then, after a period of several days took a bus
   to    Phoenix,  where  I  arranged to have myself  arrested by the
   phoenix police on some outstanding traffic tickets, and put in the
   Phoenix  municipal jail.   I then paid the fines and  returned  to
   Tucson,  by private car.  I was establishing a trail at this point
   in  order to throw off anyone that might be following or trying to
   trace me.  Within twelve hours of arriving back in Tucson, I took
   a back-pack with clothing and limited food supplies and struck out
   across  the  desert  toward San  Diego.  Traveling at  night  and
   sleeping during the heat of the day.   When I arrived in San Diego
   I  then  made  my way up the coastal highway toward  Los Angeles,
   stopping at the camping sites along the way that are available  by
   the California Parks and Recreation Department.
      When  I arrived  in Los Angeles I then spent the  night  in  a
   shelter  for  street  people and then the next day looked  for  a
   better situation in which to live for a while.   I found it in the
   form  of an establishment called Hudson House.   Which I must  say
   was  an inspired stroke of genius on my part as it was most likely
   the  one  place that no one would think to look  for  me.  Hudson
   House  was and I suppose still is a halfway house for gays trying
   to make it away from their families.   And I must  say, much  to
   their  credit,  for those who are not gay but are in need of help.
   As  I'm  not gay and had made no bones about the fact that I  was
   extremely heterosexual,  I felt that this was the one place no  one
   would think to look for me.   I was right.  After finding a job at
   one  of the many local restaurants in the Hollywood area,  I lived
   there  for a three month period,  where upon I then  contacted  my
   mother  who  by  this  time  had retired  to  a  farm outside  of
   Lynchburg, Virginia, and then moved on to Virginia, where I spend
   a year working on the farm for her and then moving into town where
   I  began  working  over a seven year period at various  radio  and
   television stations as an announcer and cameraman.

      From this point on,  until my re-emergence into the public eye
   in  Sept of 1988,  there is not a great deal to tell other than on
   two occasions I was once again made aware of  how  precarious  my
   position  was  when  someone unloaded several thousand rounds  of
   machine gun fire into the home I was living at in a small town in
   Virginia, and when some one tried to run over me on the streets of
   Lynchburg. Twice!

   I COME OUT OF HIDING

      In July of 1988,  I received a rather nasty note from my father
   saying  that  a John Lear had contacted his office about  me.  He
   said  in the note that he had not told him anything about  me nor
   where  I  was at and left it up to me to decide whether or  not  I
   wanted to contact Mr. Lear.  I did nothing for about a month and a
   half.   And  at that point I had no intention of doing anything at
   all.   Then  one night,  while working at the radio station I  was
   employed  at,  a news clipping from the ABC pre-feed wire service
   came  to  my attention.   It was a statement by Walt  Andrus that
   there  were in fact Aliens from space on the planet  earth.  This
   surprised  me  greatly  as I felt that it  was  extremely out  of
   character  for some one of Walt's renown and status within the UFO
   investigative community.   After giving it much thought I  decided
   to  place  one call to Wendelle Stevens,  who I had not spoken to
   since my disappearance.
      Wendelle, needless to say, was extremely surprised to hear from
   me    as he assumed that I was dead.   I asked Wendelle to keep my
   where  abouts private for the moment, and he offered to send me a
   copy of Bill Steinman's book "UFO Crash at Aztec", where, he said,
   I played a fairly large part in one of the appendixes.
      Several days later I received the book from Wendelle  and sat
   down  to  read what was said.   At that point I wasn't quite sure
   what to think, but decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to
   come back out in the open in order to test the waters.

      I then contacted John Lear,  posing as an Attorney representing
   "Mr.  English's interest",  in order to find out what it was  John
   wanted  with me.  After talking with John for a few minutes I hung
   up  and began to consider the possibilities and what to  do about
   it.  After several more  weeks I then contacted  John  and  he
   ultimately came  to  see  me  in  Virginia,  where  we Discussed
   Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.

   The UFO Legend

      "In the thirtieth year,  in the fourth month,  on the fifth day
   of the month,  as I was among the exiles by the river Che'bar, the
   heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
      "As I looked,  behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and
   a great cloud,  with brightness round about it,  and fire flashing
   forth  continually,  and  in the midst of the  fire,  as  it  were
   gleaming  bronze.  And  from the midst of it came the likeness  of
   four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the
   form of men,  but each had four faces,  and each of them had four
   wings.  Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were
   like the sole of a calf's foot;  and they sparkled liked burnished
   bronze.  Under  their  wings  on their four sides they  had  human
   hands.  And the four had their faces and their wings  thus: their
   wings  touched one another;  they went everyone  forward,  without
   turning as they went. As for the likeness of their faces, each had
   the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the
   right side,  the four had the face of an ox on the left side,  and
   the  four  had the face of an eagle at the back.  Such were  their
   faces.  And their wings were spread out above;  each creature  had
   two  wings,  each of which touched the wing of another,  while two
   covered their bodies.  And each went straight forward;  where ever
   the spirit would go,  they went,  without turning as they went. In
   the midst of the living creatures there was something that  looked
   like  burning coals of fire,  like torches moving to and fro among
   the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire
   went forth lightning.  And the living creatures darted to and fro,
   like a flash of lightning
      Now,  as I looked at the living creatures,  I saw a wheel  upon
   the  earth beside the living creatures,  one for the each of the
   four  of  them.  As  for the appearance of the  wheels  and their
   construction:   their  appearance  was  like  the  gleaming of  a
   chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their construction
   being as it were a wheel within a wheel. When they went, they went
   in any of their four directions without turning as they went. The
   four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were full
   of eyes round about...(Ezek 1:1-18)
      And  Ezekiel  saw  the wheel...and this is the  wheel  that  he
   saw....It  seems  interesting that Ezekiel's  description  of  his
   vision  of god  and  the  angels  fit  almost  exactly  with  the
   descriptions that many modern day individuals give when describing
   UFO  sightings.  There  are  differences of  course  in language,
   however this description seems to be fairly easy to     interpret.
      At  the risk  of  alienating  those of     you  who are fervent
   christians, what Ezekiel described was a UFO.
      If  one were  to look closely at the legends  of  the  various
   civilizations  they  would see that throughout  recorded history,
   there has been a constant flow of UFO sighting. Or at least let us
   speculate such for the sake of argument for right now.
      The  legend  of   Flying    Saucers or UFO's seems to have been
   perpetuated  down  through the ages in one form  or  another, but
   always leaving open many questions that seem to have no   answers.

      One such perpetrator was author "Eric Von Daniken",  who wrote
   his series of books based on speculations concerning ancient South
   American  artifacts  and ruins.   Von Daniken wrote that based  on
   these  artifacts  and ancient writings that seemed to  be  without
   translation,   that   there  was  the  possibility that ancient
   astronauts in fact visited the earth before recorded history  and
   that it was these astronauts that were in fact worshipped as gods
   by the ancient humans.
      This  is  of course a very basic summation of what Von Daniken
   was  trying  to postulate in his work,  and it would have been  a
   theory  that could have opened new areas of research were  it not
   for  the fact that Von Daniken himself stated later that his work
   was  not  factual  and  was not researched as he  would  have had
   everyone believe that it was.

      It  was unfortunate that this was in fact  the  case,  as Von
   Daniken's work  did in fact cause several people to speculate on
   the possibilities that we had in fact been visited in the past by
   alien races.


      But! At the same time, let me ask the question...Why not??  Why
   is it  so    difficult for us to accept the possibilities of this
   having in fact happened?

   EXAMPLE

      Let  us take for granted,  for the moment,  that all legend is
   based on some sort of fact.  And that although legend loses in the
   translation from the original language,  and certain aspects of it
   change through the ages, for the most part the legend is true.

      Now let us examine one legend in particular,  which is probably
   the  most persistent through the ages...The Lost Civilization  of
   Atlantis.

      The legend states that Atlantis was a civilization far advanced
   for  it's  time and even for our time.   The legend itself is the
   stuff  that  movies have been made of,  and  speaks  of  wondrous
   technologies  that   make  the  technology of today look pale  by
   comparison.  As far as we have been able to determine, the legend
   of  Atlantis  had been handed down from Socrates and the ancient
   Greeks.   But the tale of Atlantis was in fact an ancient legend,
   even in the time of Socrates.

      Let us examine another possibility ... The Pyramids of Ancient
Egypt.
      For  the  most part,  the construction of the ancient ruins of
   Egypt  can be explained in fairly conventional  terms,  there are
   however certain aspects that cannot be explained.  Let us examine
   Cheops Pyramid.

      Records indicate that in construction time,  most pyramids were
   started at the time the Pharaoh came to the throne of the Egyptian
   Empire,  which at the time was considerable for the ancient world.
   Egypt being a moving force in the ancient world,  and remaining at
   the  pinnacle until the rise of the Roman  Empire. Most  Pharaohs
   personally supervised  the  construction of their  final  resting
   place,  believing  that the quality their life in the  next world
   would depend on how sumptuous their funerary arrangements were.
   Of  Course being the ruler of an Empire made it possible for them
   to spare no expense,  and in many cases the expense exceeded  the
   entire amount of money that it would take to run their Kingdom for
   ten years or more. It was not uncommon for millions of dollars and
   thousands  of  lives to be spent during the construction of  royal
   tombs.
      Bearing this in mind,  records indicate that Cheops Pyramid  or
   the great pyramid as it is now referred to, was begun well into the
   rule  of  the  Pharaoh Cheops and was completed  well  before his
   death.  Yet  it is one of the largest and most perfect of ancient
   structures.   Another  point to consider among others is that the
   sand-stone used  in it's construction was several  hundred miles
   away from the pyramid site and was transported down the Nile River
   one  block at  a time.   Also the fitting of each  block  of the
   construction  was  so perfect that even today it is impossible to
   even fit a piece of paper between each block.   And  finally, the
   fact  that during the construction of the great pyramid it remained
   in    a  perfect  square  at   it's base  with  less  than 1/2  inch
   deviation. Something that's very difficult, even by using today's
   construction methods.

      Add  all of this to the fact that the ancient Egyptian Book  of
   the Dead gave very specific instructions as to the preservation of
   the body with the view toward eventual resuscitation of the living
   body  and the reunion of the spirit with the body.  Most ancient
   religions  talk of life after death in some form or  another, but
   none  speak of life returning to the body and none other has taken
   such  pains  in  preservation  of  the  physical  remains, using
   techniques that even today have not been duplicated in  even the
   best of laboratories.

      Remembering all of this, let us ask the following questions:

   1.)  Why has ancient legend persistently told stories of wondrous
   technological advances that we have yet to discover,  and speak of
   them  as though they were and accomplished fact of life  for that
   time.?

   2.)  Why do many legends of the past seem to have the same ring of
   familiarity in that they all seem to contain the same elements and
   those elements all have a ring of truth.  (whether its because  of
   repetition or some other reason)

   Answers??

      At this point there are no answers to the questions,  and for
   the most part we as researchers and investigators aren't even sure
   of what questions to ask.


   MODERN LEGENDS

      During the past twelve years,  (since 1977),  there have been a
   number  of modern legends that we can trace back to their source.
   We are fortunate that we can trace them back to their origins as it
   then makes it possible to investigate them thoroughly.  And I must
   admit that I am the perpetrator of at least one of those  legends.
   Which I will go into further in a few moments.

      One   of  the  most  prevalent  of  these  legends  beside the
   Grudge/Blue Book Report #13 is the Dulce Report of Paul Bennewitz.

      Bennewitz originally reported that he had been able to identify
   a secret alien base through the investigation of an abduction case
   that  involved  a woman and her son.   During the  course  of his
   investigation  he apparently was contacted by aliens and given all
   kinds of information.   This in itself cannot be placed among  the
   classification of cold hard evidence, but one interesting point is
   that  during the course of his investigation of the woman and  her
   son  certain evidence came to light that more or less set the UFO
   investigative world on its ear.
      The  subject was hypnotically regressed by Dr. Leo Sprinkle of
   Illinois  University.  During  the course of  the regression the
   subject  recounted   how her and her son were traveling home on a
   lonely  highway  in the Southwest when they came across  what she
   described as a cattle mutilation.  Specifically they witnessed a
   calf  being mutilated.   As they observed what was taking  place,
   they were seen and ultimately taken captive themselves.
   The  subject related how she and her son were taken in separate
   vehicles to what she assumed was an underground installation.

      While  in  the installation,  the subject related how she was
   subjected to a physical examination and questioning by the aliens.
   who she described as being small,  about four feet in height, and
   she was questioned extensively.  During the course of all of this
   she  apparently broke away from her captors and ran aimlessly down
   several  corridors   until  she came to a room that  had a rather
   pungent odor.   She described it's contents to Dr.  Sprinkle, and
   told him of seeing a vat in the middle of the room.   It was from
   this  that the odor was coming from.   She described how when she
   came  closer to the vat she saw what appeared to be the body parts
   of    a  human male floating in an amber liquid.   She  went on to
   describe  how she was found and the consternation her presence  in
   the room caused the aliens.   Apparently, shortly there after, she
   and  her son were returned to her car without any conscious memory
   of their experience.
      It was this, coupled with his supposed contacts with the aliens
   that  caused  Bennewitz to initially send a report to  the Aerial
   Phenomena  Research  Organization detailing his experiences  and
   contacts with the Aliens.  During the course of all of this it was
   initially  thought   that Bennewitz was himself,  not all together
   there.   In  point   of fact shortly  there after, Bennewitz  was
   involuntarily  committed to the New Mexico State Hospital for the
   mentally  ill,  where  he was forced to undergo treatment for  an
   undetermined  mental  disorder.   He  was  in  fact involuntarily
   committed a total of three times,  where finally on the third time
   it is reported that he underwent electro-shock therapy.
      When  Bennewitz   was  finally discharged from the hospital  he
   became  a  recluse   from the  UFO  investigative  field, publicly
   stating that he would no longer have anything to do with UFO's and
   that  he  suggested that all of those involved in  this field  of
   research  should  also get out and let the government do the work
   that they are more knowledgeable in.  In short, he was saying that
   the government knew what they were doing and we should stay out of
   it.


      If this were all there was to it then there would be no further
   investigation into the reports that Bennewitz filed.  However,  as
   time  passed,  more  and more evidence came to light  that  proved
   Bennewitz  was  not insane and that there was  some substance  to
   everything that he had been saying all along.
      Another modern day legend is that of myself and my Viewing  of
   Grudge/Blue Book Report #13, of which your already aware.

    A New Ally

      Once again,  time has proven to be an ally in that evidence has
   come to light over the past several years, that has substantiated
   everything that I initially said about my viewing of Report  #13.
   In addition,  one other person, William M. Cooper, formerly of the
   United  States  Naval  Intelligence  section,  CINCPAC,  has come
   forward and admitted viewing an earlier version of the Grudge/Blue
   Book Report #13.
      With   the  exception  of  some  minor  differences  that are
   explainable  by  the  fact that the copy I saw  was  an annotated
   version,  Mr.  Cooper's and my comparison match almost perfectly.
   And  I might add that Bill Cooper and I were talking about all of
   this long before we knew that either existed.
      While  Cooper  saw  his version of the documents in  the early
   seventies while working with the Pacific Fleet,  I saw my version
   of the  very same documents while in the employ of the U.S.  Air
   Force  Security Services Command at RAF Chicksands in England  in
   the  mid-seventies.   I,  however,  was  the  first to speak out
   publicly when I attended a lecture given by one Stanton Friedman,
   a  nuclear scientist,  who at the time was devoted to finding the
   truth about UFOs and the possible implications of their existence.
   I might add at this point, that over the years certain others have
   claimed  to have seen these same documents,  but have in fact been
   nothing more than dupes of certain dis-information specialist that
   are under the employ of the U.S. Government.

    PART TWO

   THE CURRENT UFO STATUS


      Currently  there are several factions within the investigative
   community. One is the UFO and government involvement faction,the
   others are,  UFOs and Mutilations,  UFOs and Abductions, UFOs and
   Alien presence, and UFOs and Metaphysical phenomenon.
      Of  the five,  UFOs and Government involvement, and  UFOs and
   Alien  Presence  are the two most heated factions at  the moment.
   Sort of them verses the rest of the Investigative Community.

     AT PRESENT

      At  present the factions concerning government involvement and
   alien  presence  are fighting it out to see who comes out on top.
   Government involvement while acceding the fact the government is
   involved  in  some sort of cover-up will not come to any kind  of
   agreement  with  Alien Presence,  saying that the  Alien Presence
   faction  is  alarmist  and  lacks solid evidence to prove their
   claims.  The Alien Presence faction on the other hand, claims that
   the  Government  Involvement  faction  is in  the  employ  of the
   Government itself and therefore they are working to hide the fact
   that  there  are  indeed alien bases on earth and  in  the United
   States,  and  that the government had at one point entered into a
   treaty  with  these  aliens,  allowing them to  commit  atrocities
   against  the  populace of the United States,  to have and  occupy
   secret  bases in exchange for technological information and data.
   The Government faction on the other hand, once again admits to the
   possibility  of  the government covering up Alien Craft  and that
   type  of thing,  refuses to believe or accept the possibility  of
   Alien  Bases.   Which would seem to be cutting off their noses to
   spite their face.  How can you have one without the other???

      The  rest  of  the factions tend to look  at  their particular
   philosophy as the true discipline and ignore all the others.

    A CLOSER LOOK

      Let  us take a closer look at one particular section  of each
   faction  and  see  if it is not possible to make a clear as mud
   situation a little muddier.

      During the past ten years,  Bill Moore has publicly stated that
   he    believes that I have been lying all along about my viewing of
   Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.   On one occasion that I know of,  he
   told two engineers from Aerojet Corporation that I admitted to him
   that  I and Gerry Schultz were doing LSD when we wrote my report on
   Viewing Report 13.   Aside from the fact that it was an out and lie
   and  I never admitted any such thing to him,  Gerry Schultz and  I
   were  certainly  never together long enough to do  anything other
   than him ask me questions while I was digging through files at the
   APRO  offices.   And for the record I categoricly deny the use  of
   any  drug other than those perscribed by my doctor.   And since  I
   have developed a phobia about medications very rarely do I even do
   that.
      To  add insult to injury,  Moore then had the brass  balls  to
   produce  that piece of shit television program of his called "UFO
   Cover up",  and have his two song birds, Falcon and Condor, parrot
   everything that I had been saying since 1977.  If I'm a liar,then
   I ask the question of what does this make him??
      It seems pretty odd that Moore would say these things about me,
   and then in the next breath repeat everything that I  have been
   saying  for  over ten years as though it were facts that he alone
   discovered.   I don't know about you,  but it's would seem pretty
   inconsistant with everything that he's been saying.  And even were
   I not in the position that I am in, I'd raise an eyebrow or two in
   question.

      On the other side of the coin there is John Lear,  Bill Cooper,
   Paul Bennewitz,  and a host of others, including myself who are of
   the  firm  belief that there is in fact an Alien presence here  on
   earth, and that it has been covered up for some time.
      In all fairness though, let me point out that Moore and company
   has  come up with some interesting documents that appear  to show
   the existence of an organization known as MJ-12.   But at the same
   time,  he  claims that Bill Cooper's research and data on MJ-12 is
   fraudulent and fabricated,  and that Cooper doesn't know what he's
   talking about.  Inconsistancy after inconsistancy....

    EXAMPLE

      Lear, Cooper, and Bennewitz (most notably Lear and Cooper) have
   evidence that ties together everything they are saying with other
   evidence from different sources.
      In the later part of June of 1977,  I reviewed and analysed the
   document  now known as the Grudge/Blue Book Report #13.   In this
   report I viewed several hundred photographs,  reports, incidents,
   and comments made by certain individuals who had themselve in turn
   read  the report.  At that time I had no knowledge what so ever of
   Bill Cooper, and he had no knowledge of Bill English.
      Bill  Cooper  on  the  other hand,  had    read his version  of
   Grudge/Blue  Book Report #13 four years  previously.  Without  us
   knowing  one another,  nor having ever been in contact until 1988,
   the information that we both had matched almost exactly with a few
   certain exceptions.   And those exceptions can be accounted for in
   that  the  version   I read,  was annotated   and contained
   additional information that Cooper's did not.
      Additionaly,  even  though  neither  of us have been  able to
   produce  the document itself,  other information and records have
   come to light that upholds the voracity of our claim.  But rather
   than  leave  it  there,  research investigators  from around the
   country,  who have dealt with the nuts and bolts of investigation,
   have  come up with sighting data,   and  most  particularly Close
   encounter data that strengthens our position.


      Paul  Bennewitz of Albuequerque,  New Mexico,  can no longer be
   tagged  as a nut case as he was originally,  for the  simple fact
   that upon investigations performed as recently as this year,other
   sources  who  were present at the time of  his  experiences, have
   verified and confirmed everything that he has said.

      With  regard  to Alien Bases and occupation,  I offer for your
   consideration the following.

      In May of 1980,  Dr.  Leo Sprinkle,  renown pyscotherapist, and
   professor at Illinois State University, hypnotically regressed one
   Myrna Hanson, a bank teller of Eagle Nest, New Mexico.
   Hanson and her son were driving home one night along  the
   highway between Roswell(?) and Eagles Nest,  New Mexico, when she
   and  her  son,  who was riding with her came upon what she later
   discribed  to  Sprinkle during their regression  session, as the
   brightest  light that she had ever seen.   Apparently she stopped
   the  car  and  heard what sounded like a cow screaming  in agony.
   Hanson  then  discribed how she got out of the car and saw what
   appeared  to  be several little men surrounding the cow and using
   instruments  of some type to mutilate it.     Sprinkle's original
   notes  of the session go on to discribe how she reacted  and what
   she discribed seeing.  In her discription she detailed how she and
   her  son  were taken aboard separate craft and then taken to some
   sort of base.   During the course of the examination and insertion
   of some sort of metallic object she managed at one point to break
   away from her captors and ran down several halls until she came to
   a room.  In the room she discribed seeing what appeared to be some
   sort of a vat filled with an amber liquid.  As she came to the vat
   she saw what she discribed as the body parts of a  human male
   floating in the liquid.   When her captors finally found her they
   were  extremely  upset and took her back to the  examination room
   where  they completed whatever it was they were  doing,  and then
   returned her and her son to the car where they were captured.
      There is of course a great deal more to the story,  but the
   crux of the matter is that her discription of what see saw matches
   perfectly  with  countless other incidents that have  taken place
   over  the  years,  and supports the claims that have made by both
   myself and Bill Cooper.

      In short,  the evidence is there if one cares to examine it and
   then colate it against other evidence.   Oddly enough,  this seems
   to    be  the one thing that Moore and company has refused to  do,
   saying that there is no need, because none of it is true.
      Frankly I am astounded at this attitude.   For all intent and
   purpose  it has become apparent that if these individuals are not
   in    the  employ  of the government,  their only  interest in UFO
   investigation  is  the  monetary  return that it  can  offer them
   because of the interest of the general public.
      I  agree  that  some  measures  must  be  taken in  order  to
   financually support active research and investigation,  but not at
   the  expense of fooling the people and ignoring the true facts  of
   what is happening around us.

      This is remincent of the British Priminister,  Harold MacMillum
   going  to Munich to get a peace agreement with Hitler  and  coming
   home  to tell everyone that there is nothing to fear.  The germans
   want peace and there will be peace in our time.  That peacelasted
   over four years and cost thousands of lives...
      I  ask  where Bill Moore's evidence is....so far  he  has done
   nothing  more  than  spout retoric but hasn't even bothered to
   present  even a comparison of data or circumstances that will  at
   least open the door to more questions or discussion.

    MORAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPLICATIONS

      Let us assume for the moment that everything that Cooper,Lear,
   Bennewitz, and  English  have been saying is true.   Then let us
   assume  that  the Aliens have in fact been present here  on earth
   since before the beginning of our recorded history.   If you think
   about  Ezekiel  and  the wheel that he saw,  then  it's  not that
   difficult.
      Several factions,  the metaphysical in particular, have stated
   that  there is evidence indicating that the Aliens constructed  a
   being, either human or whatever, and placed him here on the earth.
   And that this being was named Jesus Christ.
      Then  let us examine the Old Testament versus the New Testament
   bible.   The Old Testament Bible speaks of a vengeful god and the
   New  Testament speaks of a forgiving god. Frankly I lay no claim
   to    being  a  theologian.     But there are  others within  the
   investigative  community  that indicate there is in fact evidence
   that  the Aliens have been conducting bio-genetic  experimentation
   on humans, and also there is indication on a more practical level
   that  the  ever  popular  "Grey Aliens"  are  in  fact biological
   constructs that serve as the work force of a higher order of Alien
   Beings.
      If this is true,  then why is it so difficult to believe in the
   other possibilities???

      Once again let us assume that it is true.

    SCENARIO

      Evidence has come to light that proves the Aliens have in fact
   been  on  earth  since before the beginning of  recorded history.
   Further  evidence has come to light that shows in fact the Aliens
   were influencing the social and religious developement of mankind
   and posing as a higher being, or God.   Additional evidence shows
   that  Jesus  Christ was placed on earth by a different faction of
   Alien Beings.

    RESULTS?

      Everything that mankind has believed for the past six thousand
   years is nothing, therefore there is no god and the word of god as
   it is written in the books and laws of the major religions of the
   world is a false dogma handed down by beings from another planet.

      Aside from the fact that mankind had been betrayed for over six
   thousand years, the laws and moral codes that have governed him as
   a  race are going to be looked upon as lies.   It  doesn't matter
   that  those  laws and codes were ultimately responsiable  for his
   developement  into   what  we  refer  to  as  modern civilization.
   Additionaly  the  panic and anarchy that would result from such  a
   discovery would for the most part do one of two things. It would
   either  distroy us as a race,  or it would finally break down the
   barriers  that  have developed between us as humans  and draw  us
   together.  Which  it would be,  is undeterminable until such time
   that it happens.
      With  regard  to moral codes and values...It would  be evident
   that the moral codes we as a race had lived with through the ages,
   would  have been those of a different race of beings and  not our
   own.  Would we accept them once again as ours,  or would we
   fall  into chaos trying to reestablish a code more suited to our
   own needs as human beings? And would those codes be far different
   from what we had originally lived with?

   CONCLUSIONS

      The first and most obvious conclusion that we must make is that
   there  are no  real answers at this  point  in  time.   The next
   conclusion that must be made,  is that we have barely even started
   to learn what questions we must ask.  This must be accepted before
   anything else can be accomplished.  For the first thirty years of
   UFO  investigation,  we  have  slowly and  painstakingly gathered
   evidence,  reports,  and  sighting information not really knowing
   why, but doing so because of our nature as human-beings.

   To what purpose??

     It  is evident that we as investigators must now come together
   and create a situation that gives complete access to documentation
   and information.  We must set a policy as to review of information
   and public awareness,  and ultimately action concerning release of
   such information.We must review the implications and the reactions
   to the release of said information, and it's effect on the general
   public.

      At  this  point I would also point out that there is  a better
   than  average chance that the public might handle it  better than
   the government would give it credit.   Due in part to the efforts
   of the government,  as it would seem that the government for the
   past thirty years has made every effort it can to desensitise the
   general public.
