22. Media Censorship: National wire services routinely kill the propagation of any remarkable UFO news story. Many honest reporters or documenters have had their stories greatly changed or killed because they were honest in their reporting. If they persisted, their careers were ended one way or another. This is shown clearly in Terry Hansen’s book, “The Missing Times,” where he goes over in great detail the censorship and propaganda used in the media on this topic. http://www.themissingtimes.com/

23. Media Propaganda: The mass media has spent much effort in the propaganda of this phenomenon. They have skillfully prepared not only news articles, but also documentaries that constantly misdirect the public from the reality of UFOs. The mass media has routinely given press time and coverage to people who claim to be experts in fields that would allow them to debunk aspects of UFO phenomena, when, in fact, these people have no scientific or technical background or have been shown to be repeatedly wrong in their arguments against the phenomena.

See many writings of nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, where he points out many scientifically wrong ideas or illogical assumptions regarding UFOs that are routinely printed in the media, but never retracted. This is also shown clearly in the 1970 Ph.D. thesis of Dr. Herbert Strentz “A Survey of Press Coverage of Unidentified Flying Objects, 1947-66” from the Journalism Department at Northwestern University in Illinois , and the 1973 Ph.D. thesis of Dr. David Jacobs “The Controversy over Unidentified Flying Objects in America , 1897-1973,” from the History Department of the University of Wisconsin.

24. Unprofessional Media Behavior: The employees of the mass media corporations become almost child-like in their gullible acceptance of any government explanation regarding UFO phenomena. To prove this, one merely has to look at almost any story regarding this phenomenon that has been printed in the New York Times.

25. Government Gangsterism: The CIA and other government organizations have either, persuaded, coerced, threatened or killed people or organizations that would disseminate UFO information. Men in Black, MIB, is the term that came from incidents in the 1950s of mysterious people who approached UFO witnesses in an effort to silence them.

26. Government Confirmations: Generals, admirals and high-ranking military officers around the world have stated that UFOs are real. And yet, the government in general ignores these mature and successful leaders.

See the “UFO Briefing Document” by Don Berliner et al for about eighty quotes of high ranking military, political, and scientific government personnel.

27. Scientists Confirm that UFOs Should be Studied: Scientists have stated UFOs are important phenomena to study, and yet the government has given no grants to do so. The USAF hired the Battelle Memorial Institute, a highly respected think tank, to analyze the UFO data they received from 1947-1952. They spent over two years examining the data and their over 200 page analysis showed that 31 percent of the sightings reported were either unknown or unexplained. This report was made on May 5, 1955 and was called Project Bluebook Special Report No.14 and was not given to the public. The Air Force casually stated to the public that, in terms of UFOs, this study found nothing of interest.

The July 29, 1968 Congressional Hearings’ “Symposium on UFOs” clearly indicates that UFOs are phemomena that should be seriously studied.

28. Government Documentation: The United States government and military officials have repeatedly lied about this topic. The United States government’s official position is that UFOs do not exist and, therefore, can pose no threat to Americans, but they routinely refuse to hand over old secret documents regarding UFOs through Freedom of Information Act requests. What sense does that make? I mean that if UFOs do not exist and cannot threaten national security, why hide old documents that refer to them.

The website, The Black Vault, by John Greenewald, Jr., found at www.bvalphaserver.com, has over 100,000 pages of United States government documents that were obtained thru FOIA requests.

Dr. Bruce Maccabbee’s book, “UFO FBI Connection,” makes use of 1,600 pages of FBI files obtained thru the FOIA requests.
