The Secret History of Extraterrestrials: Advanced Technology and the Coming New Race

by Len Kasten

  TWO SPACESHIPS IN THE NIGHT

  Included in this section of Howe’s book is a report about Roswell that has the ring of authenticity and sheds new light on the incident. One of her contacts, a man named Peter A. Bostrom, reported to her about an interview he had conducted with a former soldier who claimed to have viewed all the top-secret 16mm films taken at the Roswell crash site (or sites). The canisters of film were stored with other classified films in a vault within a vault in a basement with bricked-over windows at Fort Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. In the inner vault was a box marked “Roswell” that contained several canisters of film taken by the Signal Corps. The soldier viewed all of them while doing an inventory in 1960, and he reported seeing two different crashed craft in two different films, one with aliens with six-fingered hands being put in body bags and loaded onto military trucks. He told Bostrom that he was positive that the films showed two different sites, although the terrain was similar in both.

  Howe points out that this was the first intimation that what we loosely refer to now as “Roswell” may have been two distinct crashes, and this may be the reason that two different sites, scenarios, and types of aliens were reported by various witnesses.*15 This conclusion has been supported by the release of Roswell/MJ-12 documents on the Internet that make reference to two different UFO crashes on the night of July 4, 1947, during an intense electrical storm. Howe speculates that the two crashes were probably the result of a midair collision!

  To confuse the matter even more, the book supplies evidence of a third crash that even predates Roswell. This one evidently occurred on May 31, 1947, somewhere southwest of Socorro in the Plains of San Augustin, possibly as far west as Elk Mountain. This crash, according to information in the book, was probably the one that caused the death of the alien depicted in the now-famous Ray Santilli alien autopsy film. In July 1995, Santilli released the transcript of his video interview in 1994 with the military cameraman who had filmed both the crash site and three subsequent autopsies. The entire transcript is included in the book. Referred to only as “JB,” the photographer says that the crash occurred on May 31, “just southwest of Socorro.”

  Anyone who has seen the autopsy film (and who hasn’t at this point?) will recall that this type of alien appears to be a miniature human but has large, round eyes and six fingers and toes. JB was literally “freaked out” by what he saw. He refers to the aliens as “circus freaks” and claims that three were alive and one was dead. They were crying and holding some sort of a box clasped tightly to their chests. The boxes, shown in one of the films, were evidently the metal control panels, with indentations for six-fingered hands. Howe tells us that Bob Shell, editor of Shutterbug magazine, analyzed the Santilli film and found that it had been manufactured in the early 1940s and had probably been used within two years of manufacture. In 1997, Kodak verified this information.

  JB claimed that he filmed two dissections in July 1947. One of the dissected aliens was probably one of the three from Socorro that survived but later died of his wounds, which are quite apparent in the autopsy film, where we see a very large gash in the right leg. Did the second one come from the El Capitan crash, where four six-fingered aliens were filmed being put into body bags? Of the two Socorro aliens left alive, one apparently died in 1949, when JB filmed a third dissection. That left one alien still alive. His fate may have been revealed by a mysterious message that Howe found on her answering machine one night. A slow, deliberate voice with a Texas drawl said, “The government made contact in 1949 when they returned the alien that survived.” Apparently, the amount of secret information yet to be revealed is truly staggering!

  DEAD ALIEN SHOULD BE PACKED IN ICE

  In August 1995, Howe received in the mail a plain manila envelope containing what was apparently a copy of a government document with the formidable title “SOM1-01 Majestic-12 Group Special Operations Manual—Extraterrestrial Entities and Technology, Recovery and Disposal, TOP SECRET/MAJIC EYES ONLY.” It was dated April 7, 1954. It is essentially a handbook for “Majestic-12 units” dispatched to crash sites, giving them background information about the extraterrestrial craft (referred to as UFOBs) and the alien entities (EBEs), and complete instructions for technology retrieval and transport, security, handling of aliens (“Dead EBE’s should be packed in ice . . .”), and dealing with the press. Howe includes the entire document, exactly as received, in an appendix. The section titled “Press Blackout” is especially revealing. There we officially learn what every UFO investigator has already concluded: the three techniques to be used with the press are (a) official denial, (b) discrediting witnesses, and (c) deceptive statements.

  It is in this document that we discover what the government knew about extraterrestrials to that point in time. Two types of EBEs are described. The Type I EBE description closely matches the six-fingered aliens from the San Augustin and El Capitan crashes, also shown in the autopsy film, with one exception. They are said to have “four long digits but no opposable thumb.” No matter what else can be said about the authenticity of the rest of this manual, this statement is definitely disinformation since, as we have already seen, by 1954 the military had already dissected three six-fingered aliens and had held two of them as guests of the government for two years. The Type II EBEs are our old friends of abduction fame, the little grey guys with the big black eyes that the military/industrial people refer to as “the kids,” with seeming affection. What is most interesting about this document is what it doesn’t say. For example, it does cover rudimentary procedures for avoiding biological contact, but the instructions are rather sloppy considering the risk of contacting a foreign virus. MJ-12 documents that have more recently been available on the Internet claim that four retrieval personnel had already died from an alien virus by 1954.

  There is much more fascinating material in the “Military Voices” section of Howe’s book—too much to cover here. Howe’s informants and interviewees discuss such subjects as the UFO disabling of nuclear missiles at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, in March 1967; a close encounter in Cambodia in 1971 by a Special Forces operative named “Joe,” which includes a detailed account of how the MJ-12 agents erased his memory of the event and replaced it with another version; some new information about the RAF Bentwaters case at Rendlesham Forest, England, in 1980, where a crippled UFO was observed landing by a large group of U.S. Air Force personnel; an explanation of how the aliens accomplish time travel into the past; and a surrealistic account of the abduction of a navy flier while in flight, who was taken back in time to his previous incarnations. In this last case, the navy man refers to the grey aliens as “glorified bellhops” who just take you where you’re supposed to go.

  HEAVEN IN A SPACESHIP

  In the section of the book titled “Body Containers and Souls of Light,” Howe reports on several unusual abduction cases in which the abductees were not simply passive subjects of medical procedures but interacted with the aliens, were given information, and remembered the details of their fantastic experiences. In some of these cases, we are introduced to a tall, large-nosed alien race that seems to control the small grey aliens that are here identified as sophisticated androids. All of the cases selected by the author have certain common elements. The abductees all remembered seeing various types of bodies in tubes in apparent suspended animation, and they were all told about other dimensions, alien interaction with the human race from ancient times, and the crisis on this planet and dire events to come. Several accounts speak of a “Noah’s Ark in the sky,” where specimens of various races and animals are kept suspended for possible future activation.

  We are also introduced to such head-spinning concepts as simultaneous worlds, soul transfers, bodies under construction, human clones, time travel, and heaven in a spaceship. It becomes very clear after reading this part of the book that one cannot possibly comprehend the UFO phenomenon without knowing something about paranormal and theosophical concepts because it now appears that var
ious extraterrestrial groups function comfortably in other realms of existence besides the physical. This really is to be expected from civilizations that are thousands, perhaps millions, of years older than ours. Their paranormal “bag of tricks” apparently includes telepathy, astral travel, mental influence, selective memory eradication and replacement, suspension of time, projected illusions, and much more—capabilities far beyond Star Trek!

  From cases like these, and also and especially the case of Betty Andreasson Luca, the subject of Raymond E. Fowler’s book The Andreasson Affair: The Documented Investigation of a Woman’s Abduction Aboard a UFO, the UFO/extraterrestrial world begins to merge with the spiritual/theological world. Howe devotes a significant segment of the book to ruminations and speculations in these areas and a heroic attempt to put it all together—to solve the entire mystery! In this section, Howe comes to grips with the ultimate questions about human existence on this planet. Like so many others who have trod this path, she eventually lines up with the ideas of writers Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin and acknowledges that the ancient and biblical gods and angels were probably ETs. The consensus now, from so many sources, is that we are the product of the genetic manipulation of early primates and have been “bred,” so to speak. From slaves of the Anunnaki, we have worked our way up to slaves of the New World Order.

  Then we come to that age-old but always contemporary problem of good and evil. The abductees claim that there are two groups of extraterrestrials influencing us, each trying to prove a point, but neither interfering with our free will. I envision a great crap table in the sky with angels of light and dark angels placing bets! Howe draws parallels with Rudolf Steiner’s theology, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and especially the apocryphal Book of Enoch. This brings us finally to “the rapture.” The abductees confirm that those who are to be saved from the coming cataclysms have already been identified and “marked.” They will be swept up to huge, city-sized spacecraft just before the end and then returned to Earth afterward to start a totally new era of love and peace, where the word “impeachment” will never be heard again.

  Howe valiantly continues to try to understand and report on the UFO mysteries, going ever deeper and deeper. She has subsequently renewed her investigation of the Hindu Vedas. She is convinced that a more careful and precise analysis may reveal richer details about the ancient vimanas, which will clearly identify them as extraterrestrial craft. When we do eventually get to the bottom of all this, it will be due, in no small part, to the results of the efforts of this lone, persistent, courageous trailblazer.

  Close Encounters of the Real Kind

  I really found my faith when I learned that the government was opposed to the film. If NASA took the time to write me a twenty-page letter, then I knew there must be something happening.

  STEVEN SPIELBERG

  In the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, written and directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1977, an alien spaceship lands on a high mesa called the Devil’s Tower in a remote corner of Wyoming, by prearrangement with the U.S. government, and an ambassadorial exchange takes place. A single alien disembarks and is escorted away, presumably to a secret site. Then, twelve American astronauts in orange jumpsuits and industrial-strength sunglasses, with duffel bags slung over their shoulders, ten men and two women, march into the spacecraft to be whisked away to the alien home planet. In the previous scene, they had been given a blessing by a clergyman, who referred to them as “pilgrims.” Was this just some inventive touch conceived by Spielberg, or did he base it on something real? Since it is now well known in UFO circles that a prearranged alien landing did take place at or near Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in April 1964, it is not unreasonable to conclude that Spielberg may have had an inside track on classified information and that the ambassadorial exchange with an alien race may also have been a real event.

  OPERATION CRYSTAL KNIGHT

  Now, in an unprecedented break with government secrecy policy, it has been revealed by former military insiders that the exchange was indeed real and took place almost exactly as depicted in the movie. Under the auspices of a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) program referred to as Operation Crystal Knight, or what is now being called Project Serpo, it has been claimed that twelve astronauts left Earth in July 1965 and were taken to the planet Serpo in the binary star system Zeta Reticuli aboard an alien spaceship as part of an exchange program.

  The bulk of the information about this program was dribbled out to the world via twenty-one e-mails from an individual referred to only as “Anonymous” to a closed circle of high-level UFO insiders beginning on November 2, 2005. Anonymous says that he was formerly a senior officer of the DIA and is now the official spokesman for a group of six DIA personnel, three retired and three still employed there at the time of the revelation. It was decided by the group, and agreed to by Anonymous, that a website should be created to publish all the e-mails on the Internet. One of the UFO insiders, Bill Ryan from England, volunteered for the job and so began www.serpo. org, which has now developed into the official source for all Serpo-related information, including updates from Ryan, a link to a public forum, and supporting e-mails from other insiders who had knowledge of the Serpo project.

  A PRESIDENTIAL DECREE

  The story told by Anonymous in the twenty-one e-mails is amazing. If it is true, then the entire history of the government pretense of ignorance about UFOs and extraterrestrials is completely negated. As expected, it all begins with Roswell. Anonymous says that the Roswell crash did occur, but that it involved two alien craft. The first was found relatively intact, embedded into a hillside southwest of Corona, New Mexico, on July 5, 1947, by a university archaeology team. This site is about seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell and is famously referred to as the Roswell crash because all the remnants of the crash were brought to the Roswell Army Air Field base, where the Air Force took control of the information. The second crash site wasn’t discovered until August 1949.*16 Another downed craft was found almost completely intact at a remote place outside of Datil, New Mexico, by two ranchers. Evidently, the two spacecraft collided somewhere near the Brazel ranch, thus accounting for the debris field, but one limped on to the vicinity of Datil, which is about eighty miles west of Corona, before hitting the ground.

  According to Anonymous, four dead aliens were found at the Corona site, and six at the Datil site. However, one alien survived the Corona crash and was found hiding behind a rock.*17 He was taken to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and became known as Extraterrestrial Biological Entity #1 (EBE #1). Although he “spoke” in tonal variations, just as in Close Encounters, the scientists at Los Alamos found a way to communicate with him, and he informed them that he was from a planet in the Zeta Reticuli system about forty light-years from Earth. He also provided them with a complete explanation of all the devices found in the crashed spacecraft, one of which was a piece of equipment for communicating with his home planet, which survived the impact. However, the Los Alamos scientists could not get it to work until they discovered how to hook it up to the energy source on the crashed Corona disc. That was in the early summer of 1952. However, EBE #1 died later that summer after sending six unanswered messages to his planet.

  After the death of EBE #1, the Los Alamos scientists figured out how to use the device to communicate with the extraterrestrial race they had now named the “Ebens,” and they received the first reply around December 1952. Eventually, they were able to converse in rough English. Over the next nine years, the communications wrinkles were slowly ironed out, mostly by trial and error. Finally, in 1962, it was arranged that the Ebens would send another mission to Earth in April 1964 and that we would meet the craft at Holloman Air Force Base, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. By this time President Kennedy was in office. Then, according to Anonymous, “several months into the planning
process, President Kennedy decided to approve a plan to exchange a special military team. The USAF was tasked as the lead agency. The USAF officials picked special civilian scientists to assist in planning and crew selection.” It was arranged that we would send twelve astronauts to Serpo, and they would leave one Eben here in the custody of the U.S. government.

  “SHEEP-DIPPED” ASTRONAUTS

  The selection and training of the twelve astronaut-ambassadors was an extraordinary undertaking. After months of discussion, it was ultimately decided that they should be career military, be single with no children and preferably orphans themselves, and have multiple special skills. Originally, about fifty-six thousand files were screened, of which 158 were picked by the selection committee. The final twelve, ten men and two women, plus four alternates, were chosen based on complex psychological, medical, and other tests. All the team members were “sheep dipped”; that is, all identification records were purged, including Social Security, Internal Revenue Service, medical, military, and so on, and they were all listed as missing and discharged in their military records, so that no connection with their former identities remained. They were then assigned three-digit numbers as new identities.

  They went through very difficult training for six months, mostly at Camp Peary in Virginia. This is the not-so-secret CIA training facility referred to as “the Farm” on the lower York River near Williamsburg. They were also given astronaut training at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida for several more months. Anonymous says, “Each Team Member had to endure extreme psychological and physical training. In one training test, each Team Member was locked inside a 5 × 7 feet box buried seven feet underground for five days, with just food and water, no contact with anyone else and in total darkness.” Four of the team members who were pilots were taught to fly an Eben craft back to Earth, using for training the spaceship recovered at Datil, in case it was necessary to escape from Serpo. In addition to the four pilots, the team consisted of two linguists, one biologist, two scientists, two doctors, and one security man. They were all given suicide pills, and the team was assigned four Colt 45 revolvers and eight M2 carbine rifles.
