FACTS ABOUT THE UFO

        THE REAL X-FILES

This book is based on the files of the FBI, Air Force
Intelligence and the CIA. It tells the history of the FBI
involvement and of the Air Force activities as seen through the
'eyes' of the FBI. The AF told the FBI things that it didn't
tell the American people!
 

Fact 1: July 10, 1947, Air Force Intelligence asked the FBI to
interview witnesses. The Air Force was worried that some
sighting reports might come from communist sympathizers.

Fact 2: The FBI officially investigated during the late summer
of 1947. The FBI interviewed a dozen and a half or so witnesses
and found no evidence of communist sympathizers, but did find
unexplainable sightings. Many of these interviews and sighting
reports were filed under 'Security Matter - X'..... so these are
the 'Real-X Files'.

Fact 3: Air Force Intelligence supplied the FBI with secret
UFO-related information from the summer of 1947 until the middle
of the 1950's. Some of this information did not appear in the
files of Project Blue Book (1952-1969) which include the files
of Project Sign (1948) and Project Grudge (1949-1951), or in the
Air Force .

Fact 4: Information supplied to the FBI during the years
1949-1950 indicated that the Air Force treated the subject
seriously even though the Air Force publicly stated that the
sightings could all be explained and that there was no threat to
the United States.

Fact 5: In January 1949 an Air Force Colonel at Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, who directed the project to create and atomic powered
aircraft, told the FBI that saucers were real and were weapons
of the Soviet Union.

Fact 6: In 1949 and 1950 the FBI was told by the Air Force
intelligence that the saucer project had been ended. But then
the FBI received further requests for sighting information which
proved that the Air Force was still investigating. The confusion
of the Air Force investigators over whether or not saucers were
weapons of another nation or something else is evident in the
FBI file.

Fact 7: During 1949 and 1950 numerous 'green fireballs' were
observed flying over restricted military installations in New
Mexico and Texas. These military installations were associated
with the construction and storage of atomic weapons. The
security agencies were very worried that these "fireballs" were
Soviet missiles. The Air Force reports also indicate a "disc
shaped variation" also reported by Air Force security personnel.
The local FBI agents reported numerous times to headquarters
(Hoover) about these sightings. In 1950 the AF project set up to
investigate these sightings (Project Twinkle) obtained
photographic _proof_ of saucer reality. This proof is presented
publicly for the first time in this book.

Fact 8: On July 29,1952, a week after saucers appeared over
Washington, DC, the FBI was told by Air Force Intelligence that
roughly 3% of the sightings could _not_ be explained and that it
was "not entirely impossible" that some saucers were "ships from
another planet." On the _same_ day the General in charge of Air
Force Intelligence ( General Samford) held a press conference
and told the American public that sightings were all explainable
as natural phenomena such as mirages and "temperature
inversions" (affecting radar).

Fact 9: In October, 1952, the FBI was told that some AF officers
were "seriously considering the possibility of interplanetary
ships."

Fact 10: In 1956 an FBI employee and an employee of the National
Security Agency saw and reported to the FBI a UFO

Fact 11: The FBI file contains several reports by the agent who
investigated the Lonnie Zamorra/Socorro, New Mexico case of
April 24, 1964.

Fact 12: The FBI file has a memorandum which indicates that when
Jimmy Carter became President he did query government agencies
about their UFO activities, as he had promised before the
election.

Fact 13: The FBI does not now investigate sightings

Fact 14: In the spring of 1998 the FBI placed on the web the
roughly 1600 pages of UFO files... see:
