As a result of the "Smith Memo", the Canadian Department of
Transport approved Wilbert Smith's proposal to officially
investigate UFO sightings; and on December 2, 1950, Project
Magnet came into being. Several years later, on August 10,
1953, Smith submitted a report concerning the progress of
Project Magnet, in which he not only reaffirmed his belief
that UFO's are real, but also that they are extraterrestrial
in origin. In that interim report, Smith also mentioned his
intentions to try to acquire some of the alien technology:

"It appears then, that we are faced with a substantial
probability of the real existence of extraterrestrial
vehicles, regardless of whether they fit into our scheme of
things. It is therefore submitted that the next step in this
investigation should be a substantial effort toward the
acquisition of as much as possible of this technology . . ."

In agreement with Smith's comment regarding acquiring alien
technology, as we saw earlier, some people are in fact of the
opinion that some American technology may have resulted from
knowledge garnered over the past six decades from recovered
alien spacecrafts. These vessels are believed to have either
crashed, or to have been forcibly brought down over American
skies, such as at the now-famous 1947 Roswell UFO crash site.
I suspect that we may never know the full truth regarding the
Roswell incident, or any other alleged UFO crash event; and
that regardless of whatever the truth may be concerning such
events, it will continue to disappear into the black hole of
American military secrecy.

But not everyone accepts the crashed flying saucer scenario.
One such person is Jacques Vallee. In the aforementioned 50
GCAT interview, Vallee expresses some strong reservations
regarding whether any alien discs have ever really crashed
at all; and I must admit, that his argument does make sense
to me. During the interview, Vallee stated:

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

"Also, I am skeptical for another reason: We build
technologies now that are extremely reliable where there is
the need. How often does your hard disk crash? I mean, if
you keep your computer for 15 years, eventually the hard
disk is going to crash. But you don't expect that to happen.
If you were going to build a technology that takes you
across interstellar space, it would have to be extremely
reliable."

I concur with Vallee. It doesn't make much sense to me that
an alien civilization would be so advanced, so as to be able
to create a technology which would enable them to transverse
the vast distances of interstellar space, simply to have said
vessels brought down by something as elemental, or "ancient",
as our Earth technology, or else by electromagnetic waves or
storms. Such an advanced civilization would surely possess
knowledge of such things, and would take the necessary steps
to protect themselves, and their crafts, from such potential
dangers.

But assuming for a moment that the American Government, (and
perhaps other governments as well), are aware of the reality
of the alien-UFO phenomenon, why would our leaders purposely
choose to conceal such Earth-shaking news from us? Setting
aside the military implications I discussed earlier, should
we just accept the standard excuse that such knowledge would
cause widespread fear, confusion and chaos; or perhaps even
result in the total collapse of the world's religions? While
there's certainly some degree of truth in such concerns, so
that even I can recognize that such an astounding revelation
by our governments could result in a serious upheaval of our
current social order, nevertheless, is it possible that there
is a more sinister motivation behind such secrecy; that is,
of course, assuming that our leaders really are hiding some-
thing from us?

Consider the following. If the government, through a subtle,
indoctrination campaign, convinces us that extraterrestrial
life, that is to say, intelligent life, doesn't exist; and
if, through the teaching of the theory of evolution in the
public school system, they also convince our children that
God, Heaven, Hell, Angels, demons, etc., don't exist either,
what does that leave us with? It leaves us with nothing but
ourselves and our little blue planet. It means that we must
be completely alone in this vast Universe, and that even our
very existence must merely be the result of time, evolution,
and random chance, and not the result of a Divine Creator,
Provider and Protector who loves us. Of course, I personally
don't believe this for a moment. As the Apostle Paul said to
the Athenians:

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that
he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made
with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as
though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life,
and breath and all things . . . For in him we live, and
move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets
have said, For we are also his offspring."
Acts 17:24, 28, KJV

But if the government were to convince you that Earth is the
only inhabited planet in the entire Universe, and that we're
all simply the product of a mindless process of evolution,
how would such a possibility make you feel? Alone perhaps?
Or insignificant? Would it fill you with despair? Would it
make everything seem pointless?

Of course, in the absence of a Divine Creator, Provider and
Protector, the vacuum must be filled with something else. Why
is this? Because every human being on this Earth has the need
to have a purpose in his or her life. Each of us also has the
need to feel that we are loved, protected and cared for, and
the government, that is to say, your government, is more than
willing to play the role. In other words, in the absence of a
Divine Creator, the government makes itself everything to us:
protector, provider and educator. Big Brother simply replaces
God. So we must ask ourselves: If such a conspiracy exists as
some people claim, is it possible that there's an intentional
suppression of the truth concerning the alien-UFO phenomenon?
And if this phenomenon is actually spiritual in nature, and
not extraterrestrial at all, is the suppression of this truth
purposely meant to destroy our faith in God, so that we each
become totally dependent on those who rule over us?

Looking at this issue from the opposite end of the spectrum,
there is another possibility as well, and I am not the first
person to propose it. It may be that the U.S. Government is
actually playing both ends of the field. In other words, on
one hand, according to some people, the American Government
does all it can to diminish the belief in aliens and UFO's;
while on the other, it purposely fuels the very same debate.
For instance, to minimize the belief in aliens and UFO's,
the American Government will periodically issue technical
reports in which it denies the reality of said phenomenon.

One prime example of this particular strategy is the 1995
GAO (General Accounting Office) report concerning the 1947
Roswell UFO incident. As I mentioned earlier in this series,
according to this widely-circulated, controversial report,
the government claims that what was actually recovered in
the deserts of New Mexico in July of 1947, wasn't a crashed
alien spaceship, but rather a high-altitude weather balloon.
According to another report which was released in July 1994
by the U.S. Air Force, this balloon was part of a secret
project code named MOGUL. The purpose of the project was to
ascertain the nuclear status of the Soviet Union. By using
high-altitude balloons, to which were attached a series of
radar reflectors and acoustic sensors, the magnitude of
Russia's nuclear detonations could be determined.

As I also mentioned earlier, aside from the actual witnesses
who have come forward since 1947, one reason why the Roswell
story has persisted over so many decades, is because of the
rather suspicious manner in which the original press release
was handled by the military. To refresh your memory, on July
8, 1947, the public information office of the Roswell Army
Air Field announced the crash and recovery of an object which
they clearly described as a "flying disc." This amazing story
was on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record that day,
and stated in part:

RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION

No Details of Flying Disk are Revealed

The many rumours regarding the flying disk became a reality
yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb
Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was
fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk through the
cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's
office of Chaves County.
