About this ebook

Oxford-educated historian Joseph P. Farrell delivers the sequel to his best-selling Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, part of his book series on suppressed technology, Nazi survival, secret finance and postwar hidden conflicts. His customary meticulous research and sharp analysis blow the lid off of a worldwide web of nefarious financial and technological control that very few people even suspect exists.

Farrell delves deeper into the breakaway civilizations created by the Nazis in South America and other parts of the world. He elaborates on the advanced technology that they took with them at the “end†of World War II and shows how they created a huge system of hidden finance with the involvement of leading financial institutions around the world. He exposes the secret space programs used by the breakaway civilizations and reveals the clash of civilizations—a virtual secret war going on around us. He investigates the current space secrecy that involves UFOs, suppressed technologies and the hidden oligarchs who control planet Earth for their own gain and profit.

Farrell probes the mystery surrounding Dr. Kurt Debus and his links to NASA and Werner von Braun. He uncovers the covert operations of Richard Bissell, the flying saucer designs of Alfred Loedding and T. Townsend Brown, and strange activity on Mars involving UFOs. He explains the magneto-hydrodynamic anti-gravity drives that would easily power such craft. He includes a continued discussion of “emulational†technologies (those that can imitate acts of god/nature, like earthquakes and storms) from the standpoint of the culture of “full spectrum dominance†and the culture of “plausible deniability.†Farrell includes plenty of astounding accounts, documents and speculation on the amazing alternative history of hidden conflicts, secret oligarchies and super technology.

    Bibliography

    INTRODUCTION:

    THE ASSUMPTION OF ET SUPERIORITY

    The Cold War provided a financial burden that has destroyed Russia and left the United States as the world’s biggest debtor nation—in many ways a colony of the original Axis powers, Japan and Germany.

    Jim Keith¹

    To look for the propulsion system inside a flying saucer may well be as ludicrous as opening up the hood of a car to find out where the horse is hidden. Jacques Vallee²

    THIS IS AN EVEN MESSIER AND STRANGER BOOK than the two predecessors in this little mini-series of books, Saucers, Swastikas, and Psyops, and Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations. It’s messier and stranger because its main character, E.T., never makes an appearance, much less sings an aria or delivers any witty lines, nor are any stories recounted of contact with him (or her), there are no tales of abductions in the middle of the night, no telepathic thoughts are vibrated to the reader, nor is any attempt at an extraterrestrial taxonomy of grays, reptilians, insectoids, or Nordics undertaken, much less any attempt to say who is good, bad, or just plain indifferent; saucers are not crashed in this book, much less recovered and back-engineered. Like the lidless eye of Sauron, or the god of the deists, he (or she) makes his appearance like Loki or Enki at the oddest or most inconvenient moment, or, more often than not, just hovers over the whole proceeding (pun intended), casting an indelible shadow and unmistakable presence in the play, and quietly urging the occulted technocrats and policymakers on stage to ponder their next moves very carefully, or face Tower of Babel Moment consequences. Except, of course, all of this isn’t strictly true. He (or she) does appear in the story, although more like a character in an opera, masked behind technologies and events and most probably in a multitude of disguises. In short, this book is a messy space opera.

    That said, the other principals in this drama who do manage to put in an appearance are unusual enough. Along the way, we’ll encounter spy satellite engineers; covert operations gurus; CIA moguls; German-American flying saucer engineers; alleged former members of NASA on the lunatic fringe writing about engineering taking place around Saturn’s moons and even nuttier actual statements by NASA or members of Congress; renowned Russian astronomers who seriously propose Mars’ moon Phobos might be artificial; 18th century British literary satirists in possession of astronomical knowledge two centuries in advance of what was then known, followed closely by a British computer hacker nearly three centuries later; early UFO investigative journalists who ran afoul of trade unions; a well-known NASA Nazi with so many fingers in so many pies that he might have more fingers and arms than a Hindu god; famous financial oligarchs and their lackey lawyers; secret societies dedicated to the private research of UFO emulative technologies; and biblical bad guys and U.S. Senators (not to be confused with each other).

    All that being said, the truth is, I’ve always been fascinated with UFOs, or as we called them when I was a boy, flying saucers. It began in the 1960s when my father brought home a giant Wham-O comic book dedicated to the subject. In it, the Mantell case, Lonnie Zamora, and many other now famous UFO incidents were presented on the storyboards in full color. I was hooked. And since that time, given my writing on alternative research topics, I have been asked many times if I have ever seen a UFO. And the truth is, I have seen UFOs, twice in fact. The first instance is during every full moon. And I’m not joking.

    It does not take very long to view all the strange and wondrous celestial mechanics of the neighboring planet in our binary planetary system to figure out that what Earth’s Moon is doing defies the probabilities of most physics models of how it got there, doing what it’s doing. The Soviets were the first to publicly admit this strange fact, even arguing that it might be a huge artificial space ship. They were serious, in the way the Soviets were serious when they were floating strange ideas to see how the Western scientific community might react.

    Well, I don’t know about the artificiality of the entire Moon, but I do tend to think that, whatever it is, someone may have very deliberately parked it there, and arranged for it to do all the remarkable things it does. It’s a subject no one really wants to talk about, except in huddled corners with furtive whispers and nervous laughs. In this book, I contend that this type of space anomaly—the indications of engineering projects of a scale of hugeness that boggles the imagination—may have been one of, if not the primary, reason for UFO secrecy, and the very evident crash program of research that was conducted to bring humanity to some sort of performance parity with it.

    The other time I saw a UFO—a real one, as if the Moon were not a real and big enough UFO to begin with—was in Spearfish, South Dakota, in 2010. Being a night owl, I am often up very late or, depending upon one’s point of view, early in the morning, oftentimes going to bed at 5 or 6 AM. And oftentimes I take a break, and go out for short walks beneath the stars to think. On this particular night in late winter-early spring (I believe it was March), I went out at approximately 2 AM to walk to a local 24-hour convenience store for a soda. On my way back, I was walking to the west, with the big shadow of Crows’ Peak, the six thousand feet tall mountain that lies about seven miles west of Spearfish, on the South Dakota side of the border with Wyoming, silhouetted against the stars, blotting out the beautiful backdrop of lights. I looked up, and saw a momentary streak of strobing light dart behind Crows’ Peak. I walked a few more paces until it dawned on me that I had just seen a UFO, for there was no accompanying sound of a jet, nor the usual whup whup of a helicopter’s blades, both sounds one was accustomed to hearing in the Black Hills, since Ellsworth Air Force Base was just outside of Rapid City, a mere forty minutes’ drive down interstate 90. The strobe itself was uniquely shaped with a regular geometry, and alternated between the two forms of patterns I saw. I quickened my pace, in a hurry to reach home and draw, to approximate scale, what I saw in one of my personal notebooks. Here it is, in all its hurried crudeness:

    My quick drawing to approximate scale of the strobing UFO Near Spearfish, South Dakota, March 2010, drawn shortly after the incident. Unfortunately, I was too excited to record the exact date and time, writing only March 2010 ca 2 AM.

    This strobing thing lasted about two to two and a half seconds. Given the fact that it was night, and that the strobing thing disappeared behind a six thousand feet tall mountain a few miles to the west, it had to have been moving at tremendous speed, though, of course, there was no real way for me to gauge the altitude. I quickly ransacked my UFO books to see if there were similar reports of such strobing lights with such a defined geometry. Of course, there were numerous such reports of strobing UFOs, and though none seemed to match my geometric looking object, a few came close.

    I am convinced this was an object and not just lights, but I have no idea whether it was representative of a hidden terrestrial technology, or if it was something unearthly. What did impress me was that I was looking at someone’s technology, and it was being deliberately hidden. I was looking at someone’s secret space program, of that I was sure. Which brings us to the bizarre subject of this book.

    Examining the UFO phenomenon and the USA’s space program, many researchers, including this one, have advanced the hypothesis that there must be a secret space program, with hidden and very advanced technologies and agendas.³ It is one thing, however, to maintain this hypothesis, but it is quite another thing to maintain that the needs and requirements of such a secret space program led to the development of an entire state within the state, as it did in Nazi Germany’s case with the SS, or subsequently (and on an even larger scale) in the United States of America, with the creation of vast intelligence, covert operations, and military black projects bureaucracies to deal with the twin threats of Soviet Communism and the more long-term threat of the UFO. As I argued in the previous book of this small series, Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, all this in turn required the creation of enormous and completely hidden and secret systems of finance.⁴

    However, it would seem to be an egregious folly to maintain that in addition to there being a kind of breakaway civilization, an international space mafia or extraterritorial state with a secret space program, that this civilization is engaged not only in a prolonged covert warfare against its perceived terrestrial enemies in Samuel Huntington’s clash of civilizations,⁵ but that it is also doing so against a wholly different kind of perceived threat, that represented by UFOs, and whoever they represent.

    This, however, is precisely what this book is about: the clash of a breakaway covert civilization with something hidden, with occulted agents whose motivations, agendas, and technologies are opaque or at least translucent to human analysis. Indeed, as will be discovered in the coming pages, the technological aspects of UFOs are by far the easiest aspects to understand. It is when one considers the human responses to assessments not only of the technologies of the UFO, but of the potential motivations and agendas of whoever is behind the phenomenon that things become much more problematic. Here, as in the two previous books, we are attempting to reverse engineer a hidden culture, a whole context for decision-making and policy formation, that is largely unknown to us, and whose putative footprints and signatures must be carefully weighed and evaluated, a task made even more difficult by the presence within it of a multitude of various factions, each with their own special interests, as I argued in the previous volume, Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations. But here, as in that volume, our consistent guides are the common surfaces that arise in certain individuals inhabiting two or more regions or groups with their specific functions. For all that, the task remains problematical.

    This problematic revolves around the twin questions of who? and why? Whatever agencies and actors are behind the UFOs, they cannot be reasonably attributed exclusively to advanced though unknown human technology. That much seems clear. But as to why they here and what their motivations and agendas might be, this can only be pieced together from their behavior . . . and a bit of disturbing history and tradition. When this is done, the picture, while ambivalent at points, is neither pretty nor encouraging.

    A. Theses and Assumptions

    1. CongruentPhenomena

    These questions expose the assumptions/theses and methodologies that form the basis and context for the analysis and argued speculation presented in this book. It is assumed, for example, that there are a variety of congruent phenomena to the UFO itself and that these needed to be catalogued and analyzed, since such phenomena are adjuncts to the idea that some other form of intelligence other than terrestrially-based humanity has been or is active in our solar system. Such phenomena would include but not be limited to lunar or other planetary transients, perceived or suspected interference from unknown sources with artificial human satellites of the Earth or human deep space probes, anomalous features on our planetary neighbors, such as the celebrated Face on Mars, and so on. Thus, it is also assumed and argued that such phenomena would be viewed by the covert breakaway civilization as UFO tangents, i.e., as contextual data that could shed light on the possible origins and motivations of UFOs. Obviously, since a complete catalogue of such phenomena would be a book unto itself, our method here is limited to what I view as the most interesting cases, cases that in one fashion or another originate from within the space technocracy itself. Some of these are well known, and others are so obscure or are of such a fringe character that they are known only within rather narrow circles. I have also attempted to utilize popular sources of the periods in question in order to illustrate cultural perceptions.

    2. Pre-Historical Perspectives:

    Ancient Texts and Monuments

    The second assumption made in this book is that the breakaway civilization will inevitably consider the possibility of an advanced and interplanetary civilization that existed in High Antiquity as a component of its analysis of the extraterrestrial hypothesis. As will be seen in the main text, there are indications from within the scientific oligarchy associated with space affairs and UFOs that such considerations were present The Brookings Report. Most people with an interest in such subjects are also aware that scientific progress is increasingly non-linear and geometric, and as such, one thing that becomes apparent when examining the photographic evidence from deep space probes is that as human technology and space capability grew, the stronger the prima facie case for an ancient interplanetary civilization in our solar system became.

    Consequently it is also assumed that there may be a connection between ancient history and lore to UFO activity. It will be argued in these pages that as this conviction grew in the breakaway civilization that there was such a connection, the hidden technocracy would have entertained such an hypothesis simply for the sake of completeness in its ability to game various scenarios and plan responses.

    UFO activity has been a stable—if somewhat infrequent—aspect of human history since ancient times. As I argued in The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts, and also in Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men there are highly suggestive indicators that this interaction was present at the inception of human civilization’s legendary origins, and helped implement it.

    However, it is additionally assumed that this activity was stepped up dramatically during World War Two as humanity made the discoveries that would lead to practical nuclear technologies and weapons. This suggests that nuclear technology was understood by those behind the UFOs as a gateway technology to emulation of UFO performance, and thus to the advanced technological capabilities implied by it. This reasonable interpretation has been a common feature of ufology since Frank Edwards first tied UFOs to terrestrial nuclear events.⁷ Other ufologists have argued that the history of UFO events suggests that humanity was being monitored from a distance, and that with the advent of human nuclear and later thermonuclear capability, this monitoring was escalated dramatically, as if they perceived a potential threat. The hidden logic however, has escaped most researchers: nuclear bombs would be no threat to a humanity unable to deliver them to any off-planet target. Thus, for the breakaway civilization, the realization that increased UFO activity was directly tied to human nuclear and thermonuclear achievement would have provoked an intense, though highly secret, discussion as to why UFOs were so interested in it.

    In this book I speculate that one of the likely conclusions that the breakaway civilization will derive from this interest is that the real threat posed by nuclear weapons to whoever is behind the UFO phenomenon must lie in their potential to unlock genuine interplanetary capabilities and other more powerful sources of energy, sources that are potentially weaponizable. The question thus implied is how nuclear weapons might do so, and why. I venture highly speculative explanations in this book, explanations lying well outside of many scientific models. These speculative possibilities in turn highlight a possible motivation for UFO activity and for its apparent dramatic increase during and after World War Two. I have argued elsewhere that this activity in part can be accounted for by the development by Nazi Germany of advanced aerodynes and more unconventional technologies, but only in part. I assume here that the other part of UFO activity originates elsewhere, and that the activity that particularly concerns monitoring of, and interference with, human nuclear sites could only have been perceived as provocative at the minimum, and hostile at the maximum, by the breakaway civilization.

    These assumptions are in no way meant to prejudice or to modify the substance of my previous research suggesting that two famous alleged UFO crashes—Roswell and Kecksburg—may have been tied to the crashes of highly secret Nazi or other terrestrial human technology.⁸ Indeed, I maintain that individual cases much be examined in a total context which must include every best attempt to rationalize on the basis of wider human scientific knowledge and argued cases concerning black projects accomplishments in so far as these might be rationalized from the public historical record. And this must be done first, before any non-terrestrial hypothesis should be entertained.

    In the cases of Roswell and Kecksburg I continue to believe ufology has functioned more to sustain a kind of religious belief than to argue its extraterrestrial hypothesis and has been woefully inadequate in its examination of the implications of Nazi technological accomplishments during and after the Second World War. Additionally, ufology also appears to be locked into a kind of perverse extension of what I call the Roswell dialectic,⁹ for it consistently continues either to ignore the Nazi aspect of the story completely by cursory dismissals, or conversely to pander to its most sensational elements—Nazi field propulsion saucers, Nazi expeditions to the Moon and Mars, Nazi secret saucer bases in Antarctica, and so on. For this segment of UFO-Naziphilia, there is nothing the Nazi supermen could not nor did not do, except of course, to starve and murder millions of people in their barbaric and inhuman pursuit of super technologies via the slave labor of the death camps. No genuinely credible evidence for Haunebu, Vril, or any other purported Nazi field propulsion flying saucer exists, much less for missions to the Moon or Mars.¹⁰ This sort of codswallop belongs in the circular file along with the Montauk mythology with all its hyper-dimensional multiple personality stories.

    While I continue to think that the Bell story represents the real kernel to those stories, no reported instance of the Bell in operation recorded anything other than levitation, and not the extravagant and clearly advanced high performance characteristics of UFOs. As I argued in Saucers, Swastikas, and Psyops, the real motivation for such wild claims for Nazi accomplishments may have had other Cold War psychological operations objectives. In this book, I will explore the thesis that such psychological operations may also be directed off-world. Similarly, the previous assumptions do not prejudice my conclusions that the airship mysteries of the 1890s also represent early and secretive human developments.

    Consequently I also maintain with equal force and conviction that neither Nazi or earlier secretive human developments, nor continued postwar secret developments, account for all UFO activity, and this for two reasons. Firstly, the sheer volume of UFO incidents would seem to exceed human productive capability. This, indeed, will form one of the main arguments within the national security community in 1948.Some of the technologies surveyed strongly suggest a great expense in their development and production. Thus, while these things provide more corroboration for the hypothesis of a secret space program, they similarly suggest that its actual size, in terms of ships and personnel, is probably limited due to the sheer expense and difficulty of production.

    More importantly, while the known documents from within the breakaway civilization’s military-industrial-intelligence complex make it clear that the technocrats and oligarchs heading it were not only suspicious of human (i.e., Nazi) origins for it,¹¹ but personnel involved in early UFO studies consistently reported that insiders suspected non-human extra-terrestrial origins as well.

    Succinctly put, the relationship between advanced human technologies in the black projects world and the extra-terrestrial hypothesis is much more complex than simplistic either/or solutions would suggest. The reason for this complexity, however, is relatively simple: one and the same Cold War covert operations complex, with all its multifaceted complexity, was responsible for the response both to the Communist bloc and to the UFO, and moreover had to respond to both at the same time, and develop technologies flexible enough to do so on a crash basis.

    By anyone’s estimation, it was an amazing accomplishment.

    3. Humanity Not a Closed System

    In keeping with these observations, this study also assumes that humanity itself is not a closed system, and that the genus homo may have more than one planetary home. Similarly, it assumes that there are others of a non-terrestrial nature, whether extra-terrestrial, inter-dimensional, or sub-terrestrial.¹² As will be seen, one of the primary tasks of the breakaway civilization is to settle upon some agreed upon hypothesis concerning the origin or origins of UFOs, and then to establish a program of reconnaissance in order to determine exactly where UFOs originate from and thus possibly to understand their motivations for reconnoitering the Earth and engaging in hostile and provocative actions against humans and human targets.

    4. The Necessity for a Limited Response

    The foregoing assumptions also mean that, as a response to intrusive, provocative, and hostile UFO activity, the covert breakaway civilization will have to make some sort of strategized response to these activities, a response based in part on the attempt to establish communications, and in part to counter provocative and hostile actions, with bluff, bluster, and a kind of space-based gunboat diplomacy, complete with salvos being fired across the bows.

    This is to suggest that a response was (and is) necessary to convince the Others¹³ that escalation of hostile activity would be risky and bear potentially harmful or fatal consequences to its own civilization. As a result of the this consideration, the breakaway civilization will not only have to play a careful game of psychological operations to manage human perceptions of the phenomenon, but it will also have to engage in operations to manage—to the extent possible—the Others’ perceptions of humans, and of human capabilities. By the same token, no one can bluff at poker all the time. Eventually, one has to have a high hand, and great hole cards. In the case of the breakaway civilization, this means that the technologies of emulation of UFO performance had to be acquired, and then utilized in demonstrative ways. This aspect of the covert breakaway civilization’s culture and mentality is the least understood in certain circles within ufology, but nonetheless emerges from the total culture of total power and full spectrum dominance surveyed in the predecessor volume to this study, Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations.¹⁴

    Its implication is clear:

    The breakaway civilization has and will engage in limited hostile actions toward UFOs of its own while avoiding direct all-out confrontation, along with accompanying psychological operations against them, in an effort to stalemate what it regards as a military situation, and to conduct probing operations and experiments designed to reveal the mind and motivations of the UFO operators until such time as human technological parity or near parity is reached. Furthermore, this in turn could lead to the possibility of devolving upon one or two favored hypotheses within the breakaway group of the origins of UFO operators.

    With respect to the first idea of the breakaway civilization conducting psychological operations against the Others, it will be argued in the main text that crop circles constitute one example of this activity, and that they do double duty not only as sophisticated forms of geomancy and esoteric ritual, but also of psychological operations not only against the Others but against humans. It will also be argued that crop circles show clear evidence of the rationalization behind the operation, that rationalization being based upon a particular reading of historical and legendary texts concerning alien contact, and upon a reliance on esoteric tradition to reproduce that contact. In short, crop circles may indicate that some within the breakaway group may hold to the interdimensional hypothesis of the Others as being the most viable explanation, since they exhibit some elements of clear ritual and esoteric influence that could only have originated from a thorough knowledge of terrestrial esoteric tradition. . .

    To put this point even more concisely, it means that at least some in the breakaway civilization had perceived a connection between some UFO phenomena and the occult, and were attempting to use traditional occult ceremonial magic, with a technological twist, to conduct their psychological operations. These operations may thus also be viewed as anamnetic,¹⁵ as technologies designed to invoke the presence of the Others.

    In any case, it is to be noted that the response of limited hostile actions against UFOs is itself an indicator of the Cold War matrix and mentality that led to the crystallization of the covert breakaway civilization and its culture. As was argued in Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, the multi-phase strategy for the defeat of Communism that entailed

      a)    engagement, or limited contact;

      b)    containment, or stalemate;

      c)    offensive through covert rollback; and,

      d)    overt offensive rollback and defeat;¹⁶

    can be applied to the UFO problem.¹⁷ Such hostile responses to UFOs indicate that the breakaway civilization began the first phase almost immediately in the modern UFO age, which, once again, we define as beginning during World War Two and escalating in the years subsequent to it. While most indications are that the breakaway civilization continues to be in the first two stages of defensive containment and stalemate, there are some provocative indicators that escalation from the side of humanity or from the side of UFOs might have occurred, as we shall see.

    To put it bluntly, we may already be in a war—albeit limited—of an interplanetary nature. And if not at war, then perhaps in a kind of celestial Gulf of Tonkin Incident phase preparatory to it.

    5. Non-Linear Scientific Progress, Technologies of Emulation, and the Assumption of ET Superiority

    The breakaway civilization made it a high priority to achieve the ability to emulate UFO performance characteristics as closely and as quickly as possible, and this included the ability to emulate the occasional displays of weaponry on the part of UFOs. Thus, and in almost complete opposition to the vast majority of the ufology community, it is also herein assumed that UFOs do not represent the technology of a civilization whose science and technologies are vastly superior to our own by hundreds, thousands, or millions of years, but rather by only a few decades or years. Again, the signal of this nonlinear nature was signaled by the dramatic rise of UFO activity with the arrival of the nuclear age; the increase of activity would have suggested to the technocrats and oligarchs of the breakaway civilization that nuclear technology and the physics behind it was a gateway technology, and this in turn would have implied not that the Others were millennia ahead of humanity, but rather the converse, that humanity was potentially dangerously close to achieving some sort of parity with Them, by technological means. For reasons explored in the main text, the conception of nuclear technology as a gateway technology would have been an immediate conclusion of the breakaway group from UFO activity, and this in turn bears with it the stunning implication that humanity, by dint of approaching parity technologies of UFO emulation, may likewise be on the cusp of Civilizations of Type I or II on the Kardashev scale.¹⁸

    From the standpoint of the breakaway civilization, this will necessitate a two-tiered program, on the one hand, of utilizing known human physics conceptions—including those considered to be out of the mainstream—to achieve a degree of emulation, and on the other hand a program dedicated to capturing a UFO by whatever means, and reverse engineering it. This program will also entail the public suppression of certain key scientific conceptions, and the creation of an entire covert science or physics.

    Moreover, in addition to the assumption that the Others are not millennia ahead of humanity, there is a corollary, and that is that the breakaway civilization may be decades ahead of its public host. As will be seen in the main text, this is the substance of some remarks emanating from those known to have been within that breakaway matrix.

    This inevitably raises the topic of reverse engineering, and its misuses as a method of ufological analysis, and exposes what I regard to be a commonplace fallacy within much ufology. It is a common and even popular idea that extraterrestrials are not only piloting many UFOs, but also that they are also much more technologically advanced than humans and that their motivations and agendas—their moral culture—may be completely opaque and foreign to human analysis, so foreign in fact, that one sometimes hears comments to the effect that their purposes may be so much higher, or so sidereally skewed, from our own cultural and moral premises that we could hardly ever hope to understand what motivates them. On some occasions, these assumptions are voiced in a context that assumes a potential conflict or war between humans and ETs: they could crush us like flies if they wanted to, or they haven’t shown any overtly hostile actions but they could easily defeat us if they wanted to, they’re that much more advanced than we, and so on. But as Joan Didion observes, The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.¹⁹

    This very point exhibits the contradiction, for the ability to reverse engineer a foreign object or technology to any degree implies a science and technology that is at least in some respects commensurate with what it examines, and that is capable of some comprehension. This capability implies something else, equally important, for the ability to reverse engineer something also implies not only approximation of engineering and manufacturing methods, but it may also shed light on false paths or wrong turns within the history of terrestrial science and physics. It is therefore as much about reverse engineering a progression of concepts and ideas as it is about reverse engineering an alien technology.

    To put this point differently, one need not have a crashed ET vehicle in order to begin a process of reverse engineering the science behind it, or to begin the reexamination of the historical pathway of human scientific conceptions. The mere presence of the UFO phenomenon would have almost instantly initiated such a process, the more so as UFO activity, once again, rose dramatically with the advent of the human nuclear age. Inevitably, the scientists and technocrats within the breakaway group would have been compelled to ask, What is it about nuclear weapons that we have missed?

    In some areas of ufology, a peculiar dialectic again rears its head in the form of an implicit proposition: ET can do everything, humanity can do nothing (unless it learns how to do it from reverse engineering). But this is based on the unanalyzed assumption of linear progress. However, as has been noted in the previous pages, the breakaway civilization would have read such signals very differently. In short, the ability to reverse engineer to any degree implies the idea that humanity is not hundreds or thousands of years behind ET, but perhaps only a decade or two, or perhaps even mere years. It is thus argued in these pages that the breakaway civilization, realizing this, would have committed vast though covert financial and technical resources to catch up as quickly as possible. This, indeed, in part lay behind the creation of the vast system of covert finance outlined in my previous book, Cover Wars and Breakaway Civilizations.

    As noted in that book, with the advent of human nuclear technology and achievement, there was a marked increase in UFO activity, particularly associated with nuclear installations and weapons.²⁰ One cannot belabor this point long enough: the UFO preoccupation with nuclear sites implies, for reasons explored more fully in the main text, a relationship between nuclear weapons, the assumed anti-gravity technology of UFOs, and the sudden escalation of provocative UFO activity during and after World War Two. This escalation implies that nuclear technology was a gateway technology to larger capabilities, including a genuine interplanetary and interstellar capability, and this point was not only not lost on the early ufology researchers, but as will be argued here, was not lost upon the oligarchs and technocrats creating the matrix of the breakaway civilization. In short, as Richard M. Dolan, has so aptly observed, the UFO phenomenon was a national security issue from the outset, and the simple reason is that it was inextricably coupled to the atom and hydrogen bombs.²¹

    Another implication follows from the reverse-engineering hypothesis, and that is that the ability to reverse engineer UFO-like technology and thus to emulate UFO performance characteristics to any significant degree implies the ability to mimic UFOs and to stage false flag UFO events. Such false flag operations would serve a dual purpose for the covert breakaway civilization: they would further obfuscate the phenomenon to the general public, and they would convince the UFO Others that our capabilities may be greater than suspected. Finally, they would function as wild cards in the strategic calculations of the breakaway civilization’s more mundane terrestrial enemies like Russia or China. Nations would think twice about direct military confrontations with the West if they thought it was in the possession of UFO emulation technologies, with all their vast implications for propulsion, energy supplies, and weaponization.

    This latter possibility is also an example of the sort of exo-geopolitical gunboat diplomacy that constitutes the essence of the covert clashes between human civilization and that of the Others, whatever they may be. The proposition that humans have a viable field propulsion technology, howsoever rudimentary, also makes the view that an ET false flag could not be staged very problematical, and thus any scenario—from ET contact, provocation, or invasion, to a false flag event staging any of those three—must be evaluated by the merits of the case, and by each individual’s lights.

    To sum all this up, it is assumed that UFOs represent in part a covertly developed human technology developed by groups within the human breakaway civilization, and in part a genuine enigma to those very same technocrats, military men, and financial oligarchs that created that civilization and its technologies! This enigma may represent an extraterrestrial presence, an unknown non-human presence on or under the earth or its oceans, an inter-dimensional presence, a human-like presence elsewhere in celestial space, or any combination of the above.

    It is this complexity that makes any assessment of the UFO phenomenon and of the responses of the breakaway civilization much more difficult, since on the human side alone, as I argued in Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, one has at least two, if not three, factions developing advanced covert technologies during and after World War Two: Nazis, the American military-industrial complex, and the European and other powers, and whoever was behind the airship mystery, which not surprisingly had both American and German components. Within the first two factions, furthermore, one will have private corporations and not governments in possession of much of the technological database, while governments themselves will collect the intelligence on the Others. Each of these factions will wish to conceal their developments, and possibly do so behind an extraterrestrial cover story, while at the same time confronting a potential threat that may turn out to be a real extraterrestrial problem.

    A Return to Congruent Phenomena

    All this, however, does not exhaust the inventory of tasks posed by trying to reverse engineer the culture of the breakaway civilization. In addition to the UFO phenomena themselves, which would have to be catalogued and sorted by various criteria, there are the congruent phenomena that would corroborate or support any of the non-human hypotheses of the UFO. Again, while a complete inventory would be a book in and of itself, we may include, and will mention in the main text, the following sorts of congruent or corroborative data:

    1. Congruent or Corroborative Phenomena

      1)    anomalous problems with human satellites and space probes;

      2)    other satellite and space probe mysteries, such as satellites or probes of unknown origin;

      3)    planetary anomalies such as transients or activities or features indicative of artificality, or intelligently directed activity;

      4)    Historical tradition and legends of Earth;²²

      5)    photographs of any of the above, and re-touchings of said photographs to eliminate or obfuscate the anomaly;
