      TZUTC: -0400       MSGID: 165.fnbb-ufo@1:3634/12 2ca56a92       PID: Synchronet 3.18a-Linux May 23 2020 GCC 7.5.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.11-Linux r3.173 May 23 2020 GCC 7.5.0       COLS: 80       CHRS: ASCII 1       NOTE: Synchronet msgeditor $Revision: 1.174 $       SUBJECT: E B E's FILE: UFO1029              PART 10               The document gave no indication anywhere as to which government,       military or scientific agency (if any) had prepared the report,       titled A Briefing Paper for the President of the United States on       the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles. The title did not       specify which President it had in mind, nor did the document list       a date (so far as Howe recalls today) which would have linked it       to a particular administration.                      The first paragraph, written--as was everything that followed--       in what Howe characterizes as "dry bureaucratese," listed dates       and locations of crashes and retrievals of UFOs and their       occupants. The latter were invariably described as 3 1/2 to four       feet tall, gray-skinned and hairless, with oversized heads, large       eyes and no noses. It was now known, the document stated on a       subsequent page, that these beings, from a nearby solar system,       have been here for many thousands of years. Through genetic       manipulation they influenced the course of human evolution and in       a sense created us. They had also helped shape our religious       beliefs.               The July 1947 Roswell crash was mentioned; so, however, was       another one at Roswell in 1949. Investigators at the site found       five bodies and one living alien, who was taken to a safe house       at the Los Alamos National Laboratory north of Albuquerque. The       aliens, small gray-skinned humanoids, were known as       "extraterrestrial biological entities" and the living one was       called "EBE" (ee-buh). EBE was befriended (if that was the word)       by an Air Force officer, but the being died of unknown causes on       June 18, 1952. (EBE's friend, by 1964 a colonel, was among those       who were there to greet the aliens who landed at Holloman.)       Subsequently, it would be referred to as EBE-1, since in later       years another such being, EBE-2, would take up residence in a       safe house. After that, a third, EBE-3, appeared on the scene and       was now living in secret at an American base.               The briefing paper said other crashes had occurred one near       Kingman, Arizona, another just south of Texas in northern Mexico.       It also mentioned the Aztec crash- The wreckage and bodies had       been removed to such facilities as Los Alamos laboratory and       Wright-Patterson AFB. A number of highly classified projects       dealt with these materials. They included Snowbird (research and       development from the study of an intact spacecraft left by the       aliens as a gift) and Aquarius (the umbrella operation under       which the research and contact efforts were coordinated). Project       Sigma was the ongoing electronic communications effort. There was       also a defunct project Garnet, intended to investigate       extraterrestrial influence on human evolution. According to the       document, extraterrestrials have appeared at various intervals in       human history-25,000, 15,000, 5000 and 2500 years ago as well as       now--to manipulate human and other DNA.               One paragraph stated briefly, "Two thousand years ago       extraterrestrials created a being" who was placed here to teach       peace and love. Elsewhere a passing mention was made of another       group of EBEs, called the "Talls."               The paper said Project Blue Book had existed solely to take heat       off the Air Force and to draw attention away from the real       projects. Doty mentioned an "MJ-12," explaining that "MJ" stood       for "Majority." It was a policy-making body whose membership       consisted of 12 very high-ranking government scientists, military       officers and intelligence officials. These were the men who made       the decisions governing the cover-up and the contacts.               Doty said Howe would be given thousands of feet of film of       crashed discs, bodies, EBE-1 and the Holloman landing and       meeting. She could use this material in her documentary to tell       the story of how U.S. officials learned that the earth is being       visited and what they have done about it. "We want you to do the       film," Howe quotes him as saying.               When Howe asked why she, not the New York Times, the Washington       Post or 60 Minutes, was getting this, the story of the       millennium, Doty replied bluntly that an individual media person       is easier to manipulate and discredit than a major organization       with expensive attorneys. He said that another plan to release       the information, through Emenegger and Sandler, had been halted       because political conditions were not right.               Over the next weeks Howe had a number of phone conversations       with Doty, mostly about technical problems related to converting       old film to videotape. She spoke on several occasions with three       other men but did not meet them personally.               Doty suggested that eventually she might be allowed to film an       interview with EBE-3. But the current film project was to have a       historical emphasis; it would deal with events between 1949 and       1964. If at some point she did meet EBE-3, however, there was no       way she could prepare herself for the "shock and fear" of meeting       an alien being.               Howe, of course, had informed her HBO contacts, Jean Abounader       and her superior Bridgett Potter, of these extraordinary       developments. Howe urged them to prepare themselves, legally and       otherwise, for the repercussions that would surely follow the       release of the film. The HBO people told her she would have to       secure a letter of intent from the U.S. government with a       legally-binding commitment to release the promised film footage.       When Howe called Doty about it, he said, "I'll work on it." He       said he would mail the letter directly to HBO.               Then HBO told her it would not authorize funds for the film       production until all the evidence was in hand and, as Potter put       it, Howe had the "President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of       State and Joint Chiefs of Staff to back it up" (Howe, 1989). But       proceed anyway, Howe was told. Now she was furious at both HBO       and Doty.               When she called him at the base, he remarked that he had good       news and bad news. She and a small crew would soon be able to       interview the retired colonel (then a captain) who had spent       three years with EBE-1. The bad news was that it would be three       months before the thousands of feet of film of EBE-1 and the       Holloman landing/contact would be available. Meanwhile, before       she could screen the footage, Howe would have to sign three       security oaths and undergo a background check. She would also       have to supply photographs of all the technical assistants who       would accompany her to the interview.               The interview was repeatedly set up and canceled. Then in June       Doty called to say he was officially out of the project. This was       a blow because Doty was the only one she could call. She did not       know how to get in touch with the others and always had to wait       for them to contact her.               By October the contacts had decreased. The same month her       contract with HBO expired. All she had was the name of the       Washington contact. In March 1984 this individual called her       office three times, although she was out of town working on a       non-UFO story at the time. "Upon returning home," she writes, "I       learned the man was contacting me to explain there would be       further delays in the film project after the November 1984       election" (Howe, 1989).               For Howe that was the end of the matter, except for a brief       sequel. On March 5, 1988, Doty wrote ufologist Larry W. Bryant,       who had unsuccessfully sought access to Doty's military records       through the Freedom of Information Act, and denied that he had       ever discussed government UFO secrets or promised footage of       crashed discs, bodies and live EBEs. Howe responded by making a       sworn statement about the meeting an producing copies of her       correspondence from the period with both Doty and HBO.       end of part 10                       **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
