Looking back on his speech before the United Nations years
before, Cooper also added with an air of disappointment:

"I made the effort to get the U.N. to pick up the ball. They
thought it was a great idea, but they never did anything
about it."

Gordon Cooper was no stranger to the UFO phenomenon, as he
had been involved in his own experiences years before. For
example, in 1951, while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over the
western part of Germany, he spotted a number of UFO's. The
objects were described as being metallic, saucer-shaped
discs. They were at a very high altitude, and were clearly
capable of out-maneuvering any American fighter plane. In
reflecting back on his experiences in Germany, Cooper would
later tell the United Nations in 1985:

"I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation
of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in
fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe."

Twelve years later, on May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper commanded
a Mercury capsule. Its mission was to orbit the Earth twenty-
two times. As the mission neared its end, on the last orbit,
Cooper informed the Muchea tracking station, located not far
from Perth, Australia, that a glowing, greenish object was
rapidly approaching his capsule. Unlike many reported UFO's
which can't be verified by hard, physical evidence, Cooper's
object was definitely real, as it was visible on the Muchea
tracking station's radar. The Mercury flight was receiving
coverage by the American television network, NBC, which did
in fact report Cooper's sighting. However, after Cooper had
completed the mission, reporters were informed that they
could not question him further regarding what he had seen.

In extreme cases, it's been claimed that the U.S. Government
will even resort to murder in order to silence a leak, and
to keep a particular government secret from being revealed.

One well-known, highly-controversial incident involves former
Secretary of Defense, James V. Forrestal. Sources within the
UFO community allege that Mr. Forrestal, who had previously
been the Secretary of the Navy and then became the very first
Secretary of Defense during the Truman administration, became
involved with a secret committee known as "Majestic 12". This
committee, which was also known as "MJ-12", was authorized by
President Harry Truman, and was comprised of twelve men with
top security clearance, from the US Government, the military
establishment, and the science community. Its purpose was to
investigate the Roswell crash incident, and to keep the alien
presence on Earth concealed from the American public at all
cost. It is said that this powerful committee was answerable
only to the U.S. President; although some people claim that
even some U.S. presidents were out of the loop when it came
to MJ-12.

According to the story circulated within UFOlogy circles, at
some point in time, Forrestal made the decision to go public
with the information he had regarding the alien presence on
Earth. Apparently, as a result of this decision, on the 28th
of March, 1949, he was removed from office. Almost two months
later, after allegedly being held against his will, Forrestal
is claimed to have jumped to his death from the 16th floor of
the United States Naval Hospital National Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland on May 22, 1949.

In October of that same year, a medical report issued by the
Willcutts Review Board made no mention that James Forrestal
had committed suicide. It merely stated the condition of his
body, the approximate time of his death, the events leading
up to his death, and his alleged mental condition prior to
his death. The American mass media promoted a similar story.
Forrestal is said to have suffered a nervous breakdown after
his dismissal as Secretary of Defense. He was described as
being mentally unstable, suffering from depression, and of
course, suicidal. The public accepted this as fact; and not
long after that, the Forrestal story quietly slipped into
the past, thus avoiding further scrutiny or scandal.

But is this what really happened? Many people are convinced
that it isn't, beginning with Forrestal's own brother, Henry.
In interviews he gave, Henry Forrestal made it clear that he
was convinced that his brother had been murdered. He stated
that James Forrestal wasn't suicidal, and was in rather good
spirits, because he would soon be released from Bethesda. To
add further doubt to the official government version of the
story, Henry Forrestal revealed that his brother James died
just hours prior to Henry arriving to take him out of the
hospital. The official version also did not mention the fact
that when his body was discovered, Secretary Forrestal had a
bathrobe cord wrapped tightly around his neck. Henry was
convinced that his brother had been strangled, and then was
thrown out of the hospital window by his assassin(s).

If James Forrestal was indeed murdered, was it really due to
his intentions to expose the alien-UFO cover-up? While this
is what is believed by some people within the UFO community,
others beg to differ. According to the research I have done,
James Forrestal was a very powerful, very rich, and extremely
influential man. He was also very vociferous in his opinions,
and didn't hide his strong disapproval of the Zionist agenda,
and the creation of the State of Israel. Naturally, holding
such a position was bound to create enemies for him. Having
said that, some people believe that it was Forrestal's threat
to the survival of the young nation of Israel, which really
caused his downfall, and may even have resulted in his death.

Before moving on, allow me to mention one other interesting
point which is related to the above story. Over the decades,
many of us have heard or read a number of stories concerning
the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the
22nd of November in 1963. Similar to Forrestal, John Kennedy
was a well-liked man; yet on one fateful morning, his life
was suddenly cut short. Over the past four decades, there's
been considerable controversy surrounding Kennedy's death.
Some people argue that President Kennedy was the target of a
lone psychotic gunman by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald, who
they claim was a communist sympathizer. Others insist that
Oswald couldn't possibly have acted alone and that there was
an even larger conspiracy. It is said that this conspiracy
involved the CIA, the FBI, the Office of Naval Intelligence,
and the Secret Service. Many people remain convinced that it
was Kennedy's own limousine driver, a Secret Service agent
by the name of William Greer, who delivered the fatal shots
that morning, as Kennedy's motorcade made its way on the
outskirts of Dallas, Texas.

While many people have focused on who assassinated Kennedy,
the motivations behind his death have not been examined as
thoroughly. As I noted earlier, generally speaking, Kennedy
was a well-liked, extremely popular leader; a man who was
loved by a lot of people. If you ask non-Americans who they
consider to be one of the best presidents that the United
States of America has ever had, many of them won't hesitate
to respond that it was John F. Kennedy.

But due to some of his policies, Kennedy also had his share
of enemies. Some people believe that Kennedy was selling the
country to the communists, and that perhaps this is the real
reason behind his assassination. Others point to Kennedy's
desire to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the country,
which put him in opposition to some very powerful interest
groups. And yet others point out that John F. Kennedy wanted
the U.S. Government to print money which was fully backed by
actual silver deposits that were held in reserve by the U.S.
Government. This, of course, wasn't agreeable to the national
and international bankers who manipulate the world's economy
through the mass distribution of worthless "fiat money" that
hasn't been backed by real gold or silver for decades.

Like the rest of you, I honestly don't know who assassinated
Kennedy, or even why he was killed. It may very well be that
he was killed for one, some, or even all, of the above-noted
reasons. I was a young pre-teen boy at the time, and remember
watching the post-assassination events on our black and white
TV set. Being the skeptical, distrustful person that I tend
to be, particularly when it comes to the American Government,
I must admit, however, that, like others, I remain suspicious
of the fact that the blame was immediately cast on Lee Harvey
Oswald; who, as some people believe, was conveniently killed
by Jack Ruby. We can only wonder if Oswald's death was meant
to silence the truth forever.

While I was conducting research for this current series, I
did find it interesting to discover that there are a number
of people who believe that, like Secretary Forrestal, John
F. Kennedy was assassinated because he had intentions of
exposing the alien presence on Planet Earth. This is one of
the points that's mentioned by conspiracy theorist, author,
lecturer, radio host and UFO researcher, William Cooper, in
his rather controversial 1991 book, "Behold A Pale Horse".
Mr. Cooper delves into a number of topics which some readers
will find difficult to accept or believe. While Bill Cooper
initially believed that the alien threat was real, after a
number of years of research, he concluded that the threat of
an alien invasion was merely the fabrication of the secret
architects of the coming One World Government, or New World
Order.
