connected directly to the Nazi regime, those who could be held accountable for war crimes were
provided with false records by the OSS.
The high priority operation known first as Overcast and later as Paperclip reflects the hypocrisy or
at least the moral ambiguity of an all powerful military complex which blithely ignored national and
international laws in order to achieve its goals, following in the footsteps of the Manhattan Project,
coordinated by Dr. Vannevar Bush, the founder and head of the secretive Office of Scientific
Research and Development (OSRD). Bush is also believed to have set up and headed MJ-12, which
according to classified correspondence of the time was kept at a higher level of secrecy than its now
famous atom-bomb making predecessor.
The Lusty Operation acquired and stored at its Air Materiel Command Headquarters at Wright
Field, Ohio (later Wright Patterson AFB) more than 16000 items, weighing 6200 tons, of
blacklisted “foreign equipment” from the Axis powers, most of it related to aeronautics and
ballistics. Since there was no independent US Air Force as yet, the supervising authority was the
Army’s “Foreign technology Desk” at the Pentagon. The late Colonel Philip J Corso, a high-level
military intelligence officer, has affirmed in his memoirs that said desk also received and held some
“alien technology” recovered aboard the captured flying discs.
There is no escaping the conclusion that a hegemonic but paranoid United States, in the wake of the
greatest war of the 20
th
century, quickly geared for a new confrontation, not only with the
Communist powers in Russia and then in China, but also with a seemingly non-human off world
agency, first believed to originate at or under the poles, which it defined as a secret but major threat.
President Truman, extensively briefed on the UFO sightings and encounters by his military Liaison
officer Colonel Robert Landry, must, like all officials in the know, have been unnerved by the
frequent visits of “unknown intelligent aircraft” to the most sensitive and restricted strategic
facilities of the country, including the White Sands and Alamo Gordo installations.
Faced with a rising tide of reports about “alien spacecraft” in the media and an increasingly worried
public, Truman admitted to the White House Press corps on April 4
th
1950: “I can assure you that

flying saucers, given that they exists are not constructed by any power of on this Earth”. The
following years were to witness thousands of sightings and several spectacular UFO overflights of
many of the world’s capitals, particularly over Washington DC as also over the Air Force bases and
nuclear power plants of the USA and of the other great powers.
In 1952, shortly after the massive passages over the White
House and the Pentagon by UFOs on January 19
th
, the President
had General Hoyt Sanford Vandenberg, the Air Force Chief of
Staff tell that it had been confirmed that they were neither
Russian nor American and that the government did not know
their identity or origin. However Vandenberg, a former director
of Central Intelligence, had been directly associated with the
official handling of the Roswell incident in 1947 and is listed as
a member of Majestic 12. In 1948, he had partly dismissed,
without giving his reasons but seemingly on grounds of national
security, the “Estimate of the Situation” appended to his own USAF staff’s Project Sign report on
UFOs, favouring an Extra-terrestrial origin. The report was subsequently burnt on his orders in
1950. The evidence of an attempt at a cover up appears overwhelming.
It is worth noting that the personal papers of the General are kept at the National Archives where
they are classified (inaccessible to the public). He thus arguably knew more than he publicly
declared in 1952 about the nature of the flying vehicles that had buzzed the federal capital. Other
superior officers were more outspoken as shown by General George Ramey, deputy chief of AF
staff for operations, on July 29, 1952 when he gave a press conference in which, according to the
San Francisco Examiner, he stated: Jets have been placed on 24 hour nationwide alert against
flying saucers with orders to shoot them down if they refuse to land.
According to reporter Robert Gardner, General Benjamin Childlaw, GOC, Air Defense Command
in February 1953 told him significantly: We take them seriously (flying saucers) when you consider
we have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them. In Europe and on the other side of the

iron curtain, Soviet top military officers were making similar comments though those were usually
censorsed or downplayed in the state media.
Rumors supported by credible “inside” sources, spread about President Eisenhower meeting twice
with “Nordic” looking alien visitors on board their spacecraft at two Air Forces bases in 1954 but
whether that happened or not, we cannot ignore Wernher von Braun’s revealing 1959
announcement: “We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than hitherto assumed,
and whose base is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in
entering into closer contact with these powers, and within six or nine months it may be possible to
speak with more precision on the matter” (quoted in Above Top Secret, by Timothy Good, 1988).
Von Braun seems to have approached the UFO mystery with an open mind and a rather optimistic
disposition; but such was not the mindset of the Generals and civilian officials who ran the
Pentagon and the Intelligence Agencies. They obviously saw potential enemies in the unknown
visitors and called for mental and technical mobilization at the highest levels of government against
what they perceived as a formidable threat. Statements on record from top men in uniform such as
Nathan Twining, Benjamin Childlaw and Douglas MacArthur attest to that. The latter issued a stern
warning to the graduating class of 1962, on May 12th at the West Point Academy, possibly letting
out more than what his peers wished when he talked about “ultimate conflict between a united
human race and the sinister forces of another planetary galaxy”.
Already then, perhaps from the time of the Mars invasion broadcast by Orson Welles in October
1938, the UFO-ET phenomenon had become part of popular culture through innumerable books,
radio programmes, films and television series. The information has spread around ever more
widely, though it is surrounded by an equally large amount of misinformation, generating a climate
of general confusion.
In recent years, classified documents released by the governments of several countries, including
the Defence Ministries of Britain, France, Brazil, Peru and Mexico, have once and for all provided
hard evidence for the existence of Alien beings piloting very advanced flying craft and landing on
earth. One of the reports released by the MOD of the UK in July 2010 indicates that Prime Minister

Winston Churchill had agreed with General Eisenhower to cover up close encounters between
military Planes and UFOs during the War, in the interest of national security and social stability.
Revealingly, Churchill was concerned that religion might be fatally harmed as a result of public
disclosure of those incidents.
However, side by side with the technological and military
developments connected with the official reaction to the
UFO phenomenon, there was a less visible spiritual effect.
General Dornberger occupied a high position at the Bell
Aerospace Corporation, in which was associated with
Arthur M Young, the visionary engineer and inventor who
founded the Institute for the Study of Consciousness.
Young and researcher Andrija Puharich were both members
of the Round Table Foundation, at Glen Cove, Maine,
which acted as a “channel” for a series of messages
reportedly sent by an assembly of Extra-terrestrial
authorities designated as the Council of Nine, through a
visiting Indian medium, the respected Indian spiritual
teacher and clairvoyant Maharshi Nyayaratna DG Vinod
from Mumbai, known to many of the leading figures of India at the time of the Independence,
including Mahatma Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo and Rabindranath Tagore and who had been invited to
the USA by the University of Duke. The Nine were said to have inspired Gene Roddenberry to
create his immensely successful Star Trek television series.
Vinod achieved great fame in the world of ESP research as he lectured and collaborated with
several universities and specialized institutes in the USA (such as Dr. Pfeiffer’s parapsychological
research center in Spring Valley, NY) and Europe. He met figures of the caliber of Jung, Aldous
Huxley, Eistein and Millikan. The Round Table Foundation was supported by the prestigious
Stanford Research Institute (SRI), whose director was then Dr. Harold Puthoff, a pioneer in para-
normal and UFO-related studies.

A related organization was the Jason Institute which focused on defence-related matters and was
thereby related to the CIA whose various, and generally infamous, programs to investigate and test
the potential for mind warfare and related clandestine operations, such as MK Ultra and Artichoke,
bear a relation to the observation and investigation of UFOs, as recognized by the well known
researcher H P Albarelli, founding member of the North American Truth and Accountability
Commission on Human Experimentation and author of A Terrible Mistake: the Murder of Frank
Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments (2010), though the exact nature of the link is
often difficult to assess.
There seems to be a form of cooperation between some “Aliens” and those US agencies unless the
latter are simply trying to use the information they gather from those beings. Similar hints can be
gleaned from other governments at one time or another. For example, the President of the Russian
Buddhist Republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov declared in 2010 on a prime time show on
Russian Television that he had been abducted in 1997 from his Moscow home by “Alien yellow-
clad cosmonauts” aboard a spaceship and told that they were “not ready” to publicly interact with
mankind. This statement triggered an official letter from a deputy from the Duma, the Russian
Parliament, to President Dimitri Medvedev seeking a clarification on the significance of this
testimony and its implications for national security. However no response from the Russian head of
state seems to have been forthcoming so far and his silence may be another evidence of the deep
quandary that many states find themselves in. In 2009, the wife of Japanese then-Prime Minister
Hatoyama reiterated to the Media that she had been “taken to Venus” on a UFO.
Coded Messages
One of the most puzzling but spiritually and aesthetically pleasing phenomena generally regarded as
a corollary of the presence of UFOs is the frequent appearance of the “crop circles” in various parts
of the world, but more often in England. The extraordinary complexity of those geometric patterns
whose shapes and designs closely resemble the Indian yantras and mandalas denotes not only an
unknown and very sophisticated technology –seemingly using microwave beams - to produce them,
generally in the dead of the night and in a matter of seconds, with no visible agent being present
(except for some rapidly moving lights which disappear as suddenly as they manifest) but also a

deep familiarity with the sacred geometry of the ancient world and with advanced mathematics and
bio-physical laws.
It has been demonstrated by various scholars in the subject
that those “circles” sometimes contain elaborate scientific
formulations and reveal new equations and physical laws.
Attempts by professional skeptics to “debunk” the mystery
by getting pranksters to draw some of the relatively cruder
patterns on fields with the help of ropes and other primitive
tools, belong to the systematic policy of denying the “para-
normal” reality altogether, dismissing evidence by means
of flimsy pseudo-explanations. They don’t change anything
to the reality of the crop circle phenomenon, no matter
what many people, unfamiliar with the facts, have been led
to believe.
NASA photographs taken in outer space have been interpreted by some experts to show some
gigantic artificial objects that appear to be the “massive spaceships” alluded to by astrophysicist
Stephen Hawking in a recent TV documentary on cosmology and the flying cities and celestial
lokas described in some ancient Indian texts. Even more amazing are some genuine, unretouched or
photoshopped pictures showing UFOs, sometimes of a very large size, as being almost invisible or
transparent, as if they moved on the fringe of our physical universe or at least on the edge of
electromagnetic perception. They would hence appear to belong to the other dimensions often
described in ancient texts as also by contemporary “occultist” writers. It is therefore much easier to
understand why that facet of reality has generally been discounted or ignored by mainstream
scientific research.
We will give the last word to eminent psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung who did considerable
research on the subject of UFOs and who concluded: “ It remains an established fact, supported by
numerous observations, that UFOs have not only been seen visually but have also been picked up
on the radar screen and have left traces on the photographic plate, It boils down to nothing less

than this: that either psychic projections throw back a radar echo, or else the appearance of real
objects affords an opportunity for mythological projections” (in “A Fresh Look at Flying Saucers,
Time, August 4
th
, 1967).
Then, are Indian mythology and ancient history (Itihasa: “so it was”), among others that have come
down from the remote past on most continents, records of an era when human beings acknowledged
the presence of gods or “shining ones” hailing from various “heavens” and dimensions, and
interacted with them on many levels? If so, our modern “scientific worldview” is in need of drastic
review and correction and the history of our origins could be very different from what we are taught
in schools.
