For more than 60 years now, U.S. government officials have been telling us that UFO's and aliens are the result of overworked imaginations because, after all, these sightings are nothing more than weather balloons, flocks of geese and/or swamp gas. I really have to ask then, "Why would they be so afraid of Spielberg's film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, if there was nothing to this but a giant hoax? Why all the cloak and dagger crap if there's nothing to it?" That's what I would like to know!
Spielberg's movie came out a few months after Jimmy Carter took office as President of the United States. This was not a "Oh my God, the aliens are coming to eat us" kind of alien film. It was, in fact, probably the first which portrayed the aliens as nice folks. The aliens were not seen as monsters. They didn't have fangs that dripped blood, and they didn't want to eat us. They were shown to be the "Grey Aliens" that the Alien-Abductee describes has the ones who "pull" them through the walls of the houses for hideous sexual experiments (how that is a benign I cannot begin to guess).
The movie most certainly had an interesting premise but I thought it was rather a bore. I have seen it only about a gazillion times and still think it isn't really that good. The film was successful but not reviewed well at all. It made about 70 million dollars, but to call it dangerous? I think not.
It is rumored that Carter had a screening of Close Encounters. There is, however, no record of this. That doesn't mean that it is true and could mean that the fact that Carter saw the movie was kept out of public records. This would not have been the first time such an omission was made.
For reasons I can only guess, it is alleged that NASA and some within Carter's administration did not want the film to be released. Spielberg is quoted as saying that there were attempts to block the release of the film.
The most likely reason I would guess is that Spielberg is right, "...then I knew something must be happening." The government was mad because Spielberg might have been a little too close to the reality of the Federal Government's more than 60 year cover-up of the initial and ongoing contact with beings from other worlds. I mean, really! Think about how the movie and television industry would be the absolutely perfect medium through which to launch a desensitizing process of the American public to the eventual and long overdue disclosure that our elected leaders have been in cahoots with interstellar travelers.
Friend or Foe
In most of the literature I've read for writing this book, it is estimated that about sixty percent of the American people not only accept the very real probability of life on other planets in the universe, but accept the likelihood that some of it is intelligent life capable of sitting down and having a chat over coffee and sweet rolls. I think that if a plot was hatched to introduce this reality through Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, or whatever, then it was not only a good plot but I think it worked.
I believe some portion of the American public, for example Arkansas Ozark Hillbillies, would have a little trouble. The reason is they regard anyone who does not live in their mountain hideouts as one of their kind as aliens threatening an invasion. The rest of America I really think could take the truth.
The only issue I would have is that, for the sake of argument, we cannot assume that each and every planet full of space faring aliens would by definition be nice. I almost hesitate to bring this up, but there was a sci-fi television mini-series from the 80's called "V" that presented the alien issue in a malevolent light. These aliens landed on earth looking like humans but were in reality reptilians or Reptoids and had a distinct liking to how we humans tasted as food. We were to them a source of food. I think most whom I know would take offense at that kind of alien contact. But, I have to ask, just how would we determine this when meeting new aliens? What means would we use in making the determination whether they are coming in peace or coming to get a piece of us? I've been thinking about this each time I go into our town's fast-food chicken house and order a leg and a breast.
Why Fear Disclosure?
Philip Corso in his book, The Day After Roswell, makes the point that the ET's or EBE's know that what the American government fears most is disclosure. And, just why is that? You've got to wonder if the one scenario I've presented in this book is true, why would they be afraid of telling the truth to the American people?
Scenario One
Something very strange happened in Roswell. Not only did a spacecraft from another planet crash but we recovered several bodies of the inhabitant of said planet. We are sure sorry these little aliens died but hey, that's what happens when playing chase in a New Mexico thunderstorm at thirty thousand feet in the air. So, we took what we found and studied it and tried incorporating the alien technology we could understand into our society. The stuff we were too stupid to comprehend we buried in some basement somewhere and we've forgotten it.
If the Feds were to make an announcement tomorrow that this is what happened and they kept it from us because they thought we would have a "the aliens are coming" hissy fit and do things like go live in a cave somewhere and never go to work again, then I think this could be forgiven. Corso hints of this in stating that Orson Welles' radio program sent most of America into a stark-raving panic when he aired War of the Worlds. The only thing the Feds had to judge as to what the public would do in the event of contact is a sci-fi radio program in which everyone fell apart at their emotional seams. I get that; But, to cover all of this up for that reason for more than 60 years? I smell something most foul.
Scenario Two
This scenario follows Scenario One with a great big difference: the story didn't end with the recovery of bodies and a spacecraft. It continued with additional contacts with aliens being made and some sort of agreement reached with some aliens that may or may not be a bunch of nice folks. Some say that the Greada Treaty was made because the President knew that had he balked, the grays were so technologically advanced to take what they wanted regardless of our permission and since they would anyway he might as well get something in return-technology from the stars. Others say that the Nordic Aliens would have intervened and prevented the ravaging of our planet by the grays so the little gray aliens agreed to the treaty's terms for fear of a war in space with the Nordics.
It seems to me that it is Scenario Two that the government would fear being disclosed. Just imagine if it was disclosed that it was "agreed" that these gray aliens could take Americans in a much unsolicited come-hither manner and take from us our eggs and sperm for whatever purpose the grays wanted? Would we not chase down our government officials and hang them in the streets? Try as I may, I cannot come up with a reason why the government would keep a cover-up going under Scenario One.
For the sake of argument, another possibility is that Eisenhower did not feel the earth to be threatened by the grays and that they didn't have evil designs on us. The only evil was that Eisenhower wanted advanced technology from the Nordics, those with whom he wanted to talk turkey, but they would not trade technology to make weapons. And, the Nordics demanded as terms of a treaty for our nukes to be scrapped. On the other hand, the grays would do business and that was the attraction to the grays: weapons technology traded for the grays abducting us on a regular basis.
An even more bizarre twist is that in order to justify what the government has done, sold us down the river, that they are going about pretending to be aliens and kidnapping humans and torturing them a bit. This is to try and plant the idea that the grays were evil little bastards. So that when disclosure finally occurs, they can point to the grays as the evil ones and we had to keep this enemy from the public all these years until we got enough technology to combat the three-foot high monsters.
Whatever the case may be, it seems to me that they cannot hold to Scenario One as the explanation for a Roswell cover-up, or, for that matter, all the pre-Roswell or all the post-Roswell contact with alien beings.
Scenario Three
Another twist is that were the general public to find out that not only did an alien-manned spacecraft crash land in Roswell and there have been possibly more craft-alien recoveries before and after the Roswell event, and that reverse engineering worked and we have their technology, then just why hasn't the Feds anted up on this? What's even more diabolical is the question that if this technology could solve the presently dangerous global warming problem by offering alternatives to fossil fuels, then why hasn't this been done? Why hasn't the government offered up something that could be the world's salvation that would end overnight our dependence on that which is destroying us? In a word: oil! The discovery of alternative fuel systems or alternative propulsion would end oil profits almost instantly.
Actually, I could think of more words: money, power, control over lives, nation's economies, political rule, etc. This is has got to be at least one valid motive for cover-up. I find this scenario more believable than scenario one. Were the government to fess up and offer the alternatives to oil fuels, things would change pretty dramatically and rapidly on planet earth. Certainly this has to be one of the reasons for non-disclosure, if not the major one.
