Another American scientist who became convinced that UFO's
are of extraterrestrial origin, was Dr. James E. McDonald.
A professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of
Arizona, in 1967, he stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I have absolutely no idea where the UFO's come from or how
they are operated; but after ten years of research, I know
they are something from outside our atmosphere."

----- End Quote -----

Harvard University astrophysicist, Dr. Andrew W. Howard, had
this to say:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Intelligent beings abound in the Universe, and most of them
are far older than we are."

----- End Quote -----

In a 1986 edition of the American newspaper "Blade Tribune",
distinguished Sri Lankan chemist, Dr. Cyril Ponnamperuma, who
at that time was the Director of the University of Maryland's
Laboratory of Chemical Evolution, offered a very interesting
perspective regarding the physiology of the extraterrestrial
entities. In an article entitled "Scientist States ET's Look
Just Like Us", Professor Ponnamperuma stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Forget about those fanciful Hollywood notions about the
bizarre appearance of ET's . . . When we do land on a planet
somewhere, someday, don't be surprised if somebody walks up
to shake your hand."

----- End Quote -----

For much of his accomplished life, Ponnamperuma possessed a
deep interest in the origin of life. Among his achievements
over the decades, in the late 1960's, he was chosen by NASA
as the principal investigator for the analysis of the moon
dust from the Apollo missions. He remained deeply involved
in other NASA programs and missions after that. He died in
1995.

American astronaut, L. Gordon Cooper, who was a participant
in the Mercury and Gemini missions, concurred with Professor
Ponnamperuma's opinion concerning the physical appearance of
extraterrestrials. In an interview on the American TV Show,
"The Merv Griffin Show", in agreeing with Griffin's remark
that many people believe that aliens look like humans, Mr.
Cooper stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Right . . . apparently from everyone . . . who has had
contact with UFO's, they seem to agree . . . that the
occupants are really not that different from what we are."

----- End Quote -----

While I personally have no evidence to back up this view, as
a Christian, I am inclined to agree with the position held
by Dr. Ponnamperuma and Cooper. While there aren't any strict
rules which state what God can and cannot do, based upon the
evidence that we do find in the Bible, it seems to me that if
the Lord chose to create man in His own image here on Earth,
then, if He has in fact sown the seeds of intelligent life on
other distant worlds, then He would probably create it in His
own image as well; meaning a very humanoid form. Of course,
it may also be that God, as the Designer and Creator of life,
enjoys diversity in His work. Perhaps one of these days, we,
the general public, will know the full answer to this great
mystery.

Another important voice from the scientific community is
Maurice Bilot, the renown aerodynamicist and mathematical
physicist. In the April 7, 1952 edition of the American
magazine "Life", Bilot stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The least improbable explanation is that these things UFO's
are artificial and controlled. My opinion for some time has
been that they have an extraterrestrial origin."

----- End Quote -----

Unless I am mistaken, this is the same edition of "Life" in
which German rocket engineer, Walter Riedel, also expressed
his view that UFO's are piloted by alien intelligences. The
title of the article may have been "Have We Visitors From
Outer Space?".

Controversial figure, Thomas "Tommy" Gold, who was professor
emeritus of astronomy at Cornell University before he passed
away, took the idea of alien visitation a step further. Gold
was known for his highly provocative theories; some of which
were ultimately proven to be correct. One position that Gold
adopted, which we discussed earlier, was that life may have
first been seeded on Earth by alien beings, as we see by the
following quote:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Life on earth may have started when space men landed here
billions of years ago."

----- End Quote -----

And then there is astronomer J. Garzon of Mexico's National
Astronomical Observatory, located in Mexico City. As some of
you will undoubtedly know, over the years, there have been a
significant number of UFO sightings in the Mexico City and
Puebla area. Many of these events appear to originate in the
vicinity of two of Mexico's most famous volcanos. These are
Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl. So what is Doctor Garzon's
professional opinion of UFO's? He simply stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"UFO's really exist and apparently come from other planets."

----- End Quote -----

In light of such provocative statements from serious-minded
scientists such as Oberth, Riedel, McDonald, Bilot, Howard,
Ponnamperuma, Gold, Garzon, and others not mentioned here,
perhaps we need to revisit the question: Is it possible that
at least some of our modern technology is the by-product of
alien intervention? If so, does this add any credibility to
Bob Lazar's story? What do you think?

Before we continue, allow me to share a final quote with you
from Wilbert Brockhouse Smith. Smith was a highly regarded
member of the Canadian Dept. of Communications. He held both
a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, and was also
a Senior Radio Engineer with the Broadcast and Measurements
Section of the Canadian Department of Transport. His work in
radio communications is recognized around the world. Back in
the early 1950's, Mr. Smith both established, and became the
director of, Project Magnet, which was regarded as Canada's
official UFO study project. Its purpose was to study how
magnetic and gravitational principles might be responsible
for the amazing flight maneuvers which characterize many UFO
encounters and sightings.

In an internal memorandum to the Controller of Telecommuni-
cations, dated the 21st of November, 1950, and now commonly
referred to amongst UFOlogists as the "Smith Memo", Wilbert
Smith expressed his belief that UFO's are real objects. The
document, which was eventually declassified by the Canadian
government, stated in part:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The existence of a different technology is borne out by the
investigations which are being carried on at the present time
in relation to flying saucers . . . The matter is the most
highly classified subject in the United States Government,
rating higher even than the H-bomb. Flying saucers exist.
Their modus operandi is unknown, but concentrated effort is
being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush."

----- End Quote -----

As a side note, in 1940, Vannevar Bush was appointed as the
chairman of the National Defense Research Committee. A year
later, the NDRC was absorbed into the Office of Scientific
Research and Development, and Bush became its director. This
organization was the weapons research and development center
for the American military, and maintained direct control of
the Manhattan Project. As a matter of record, Vannevar Bush
was also in large part responsible for the creation of the
National Science Foundation in 1950.
