NCAS Presentation[9985] NCAS Presentation September 8, 2018 January 8, 1969, was a red-letter day for the Air Force. That was the date that we took possession of the University of Colorado’s “Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects.” The Condon Report, as it was popularly known, was the result of 18 months of intensive scientific inquiry into a phenomenon that plagued the Air Force for more than 20 years – UFOs or Flying Saucers. There I was at the Pentagon south parking loading dock with a hand truck to load 40 cartons containing 225 copies of the report. I headed straight for Bert Goodwin’s office on the Pentagon’s 4th floor. Goodwin was a civilian attorney responsible for protecting the Air Force’s legal interests regarding the Condon Report. It was just after 3 p.m. as I wheeled into Goodwin’s office. No one in the Air Force had seen the report as yet. Bert and I had one hour to review the 3-volume, 1465-page report. Forty- two copies were to be made available to the Pentagon press corps at 4 p.m., embargoed for simultaneous release in Washington and Boulder, Colorado, at noon EST the next day. Goodwin and I were the first Air Force officials to lay eyes on the report. The Air Force had been scrupulous, almost paranoid, about taking pains to avoid seeing the Condon Report until it was ready for public release. As we quickly skimmed the report, it became obvious that Dr. Condon hadn’t found evidence of any little green men. I agreed with Goodwin when he said, “We couldn’t have done a better job had we written it ourselves.” What Goodwin meant by that remark is obvious to anyone remotely familiar with the history of the Air Force and UFOs. With the prestigious Condon Report in our favor, we could finally see a graceful exit from what has been called the most monumental military foul up since the Battle of the Bulge. For the story of the Air Force and UFOs is essentially a tale of a credibility gap wider than the Grand Canyon. During its more than 20-year history of investigating so-called flying saucers, the Air Force had been accused of almost every conceivable sin and had been guilty of some: - Conspiring to conceal the truth about UFOs - Officially concluding in 1948 that UFOs were really interplanetary space ships - Harboring the remains of a half dozen or so humanoid corpses in a morgue at Wright-Patterson AFB Let me go back a bit to the origins of the Condon study. In 1965, the Air Force finally recognized that UFOs were more of a PR problem than an intelligence matter. On September 28, then Air Force Director of Information Major General Ben LeBailly wrote to the Military Director of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board asking for a review of Project Blue Book. Established in 1952, Blue Book documented 12,097 sightings and listed only 697 or about 5% as unidentified in its 20-plus years of existence. An ad hoc group of five distinguished scientists was formed, chaired by Dr. Brian O’Brien who received his Ph.D. from Yale. Carl Sagan, the famous astronomer from Cornell, was a panel member. The committee met on February 3, 1966, and released its report in March. The O’Brien Committee believed there was a need for scientific investigation of UFOs in more detail and depth. This recommendation ultimately led to the Air Force contract with the University of Colorado. Getting Dr. Condon to sign on wasn’t easy. He was busy updating his book on the theory of atomic spectra which, although written in 1935, remained the standard on the subject. Dr. Tom Ratchford of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, hit him where he was vulnerable – his patriotism and vanity. Dr. Will Kellog of the National Center for Atmospheric Research helped Ratchford lure Condon. Kellog told Condon, “If you do it, people will believe it.” Recalling the meeting later, Condon said, “Flattery got him somewhere.” A meeting between C.U. and AFOSR officials was held on August 10, 1966. The confab lasted all day and was fruitful in that there was sufficient faculty interest in the project for subsequent negotiations. On August 31st, AFOSR formally asked Colorado to undertake the study, assuring that scientists involved would have complete freedom. The University accepted only on the condition that the study would be conducted as a normal scientific research project and free from Air Force control and made public. So, on October 7, 1966, the news of the Colorado contract was announced by the Pentagon. Condon appointed Assistant Dean Robert Low of the Colorado University graduate school as his project coordinator. It was a memo written by Low on August 9, 1966, that turned up later in Look Magazine that almost scuttled the entire project. The article, “Flying Saucer Fiasco,” by John Fuller, hit the newsstands on May 14, 1968. Low’s memo read in part: “The trick would be, I think, to describe the project so that, to the public, it would appear a totally objective study, but, to the scientific community (it) would present the image of a group of nonbelievers trying their best to be objective but having an almost zero expectation of finding a saucer.” Needless to say, Low was not thinking public relations when he wrote that memo. It caused a minor flap on the Pentagon’s E-Ring complete with frantic calls between Air Force Secretary Harold Brown and Condon. The result was a statement by Low that in essence said there was no plot to produce a negative study result. “My concern,” he wrote, “was the University of Colorado and its standing in the university world … attitudes that the scientific community would have toward the university if it undertook the study.” Meanwhile, I prepared a statement attributed to Secretary Brown to the effect that although the Air Force had not as yet seen the Condon Report, we had no reason to believe that Dr. Condon and the University of Colorado would not live up to the requirements of the contract. Condon went on the grant several press interviews, then wisely cut them off. Once, in Corning, N.Y., he gave a speech that kidded the subject. He told me, “Well, that’s as bad as if a Supreme Court judge would have kidded cases before him. It’s just not done. I shouldn’t have done it.” His remarks were subsequently reported in the Elmira, N.Y. newspaper. We were cautious not to advise Dr. Condon on the public affairs aspects, but we were happy to learn that he would no longer discuss his study while it was still underway. Condon’s investigative phase ended June 1, 1968, and the task of preparing the final report began. We set a meeting for September 30th at the university to discuss the many factors involved in making the Condon report public. The Air Force team included staff officers from AFOSR and the Air Force General Counsel. I represented the Secretary of the Air Force/Office of Information, or SAFOI. We met with Dr. Condon; T.E. Manning, vice president for Academic Affairs; and Scott Tyler, the university’s public information officer. Condon told us the report was being edited by journalist Daniel S. Gillmor and would be ready by October 31st. He asked whether the report should be sent to the Air Force for transmittal to the National Academy of Science. I suggested it would be more prudent for C.U. to deliver just enough copies directly to the NAS and hold the remainder under lock and key until the NAS review was completed. Condon agreed. Manning informed us that the university had accepted in principle an offer from Bantam Books to publish the report in a paperback version. This was news to us. He mentioned that Bantam was arranging for Walter Sullivan, science editor of the New York Times, to write the introduction. I questioned whether Bantam and Sullivan were to get advance copies of the report. Manning assured us they would not receive their copies until the report had been delivered to the Air Force. Apparently, Bantam was set to turn out copies within 80 hours after receiving the report. Although somewhat unorthodox, the idea of Bantam publishing a paperback appealed to us. We wanted to be sure the report would be widely distributed at a reasonable cost. We later learned that a Government Publishing Office version would take months to reprint at a minimum cost of $5 a copy versus $1.95 for the Bantam version. The University of Colorado turned over its final report to the National Academy of Sciences on November 15, 1968. Meanwhile, we waited anxiously. Our contract with C.U. called for only 225 copies of the report – a woefully inadequate number in my opinion. Unfortunately, Public Affairs was not consulted when the contract was drawn up. We were faced with several problems: How should we determine press distribution? Should the Air Force hold a press conference without Dr. Condon who declined to hold one himself? These questions raised others: How soon after receipt should we release the report? How should we release it? By early December, DoD was pressing us for our plans on how the report should be released. I met with Major General William Garland, the Air Force Director of Information, to discuss options. In brief, 50 copies were to be set aside for the press: three read-only copies in our office; three copies in our New York, Chicago and Los Angeles field offices; a copy each at the University of Colorado and at Project Blue Book at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio; and 42 copies for the Pentagon press corps.

  • The Captivity Scenario in American Culture

By Andrew Panay Division of Sociology University of Abertay Dundee 158 Marketgait House Dundee DD1 3NJ Scotland 1 From Little Big Man to Little Green Men : The Captivity Scenario in American Popular Culture Abstract: This paper seeks to link the seemingly diverse genres of the Indian captivity narrative and the alien abduction scenario. Both types it is argued share common narrative constructions and themes. Whilst the Indian captivity narrative is plainly derived from first hand accounts and can demonstrate a historical development based on the actuality of the experiences it describes, the alien abduction scenario though protesting its objective basis cannot. Rather than rejecting the validity of the alien abduction scenario on this account, the following attempts to account for the claims to reality of the alien abduction narrative by arguing that it exists in a historical continuum with the Indian captivity narrative. The Indian captivity narrative develops historically to provide a cultural text through which Americans understand their historical situation as colonial settlers of frontier territories. The narrative functions as part of a greater historical myth system in which national values of community safety and security, national progress and vitality and the preservation of core values against hostile enemies are central components.

  • UFO Files Reveal Behind the Scenes of the UFO Desk
    The strangest job in Whitehall UFO files reveal behind the scenes of the ‘UFO Desk’ UFO files released today by The National Archives reveal for the first time, the role of the UFO Desk Officers*, what they really thought about the possibility of alien visits, their ideas to harness alien technology as a weapon, and their briefings to Tony Blair on UFO policy. The 25 files, which contain over 6,700 pages, include a job description for the UFO Desk Officer post. Described as a relatively junior role, it contains a summary of the „daily mechanics‟ of the UFO Desk Officer job, written by the incumbent before being transferred to another post in November 2009 when the UFO desk was closed. Daily duties included providing briefings on the Ministry of Defence‟s position on UFOs and extraterrestrial life, undertaking UFO investigations, handling hundreds of FOI requests, and managing UFOlogists (UFO „experts‟) and press enquiries. The Desk Officer says the idea of UFO investigations “tends to suggest to the public that there are Top Secret teams of specialist scientists scurrying around the country in a real life version of the X-Files….[but] this is total fiction.” In fact according to the Desk Officer, many investigations involved searching the internet. Dr David Clarke, author of the book 'The UFO files' and Senior Lecturer in Journalism from Sheffield Hallam University, said: “These records allow us to look behind the scenes of what must have been one of the strangest jobs in Whitehall. We now have a fascinating insight into some of the extraordinary reports and briefings which passed over the UFO Desk on a daily basis and how its officers used logic and science in their attempts to explain „the unexplained‟.” Amongst the files is a 1995 briefing by a UFO Intelligence Officer which states that although there is no hard evidence for alien craft, if sightings were indeed alien visitors there were a number of possible reasons for their visit including “a) military reconnaissance b) scientific c) tourism”.

  • A Genealogy of the Extraterrestrial in American Culture
    The Extraterrestrial in US Culture by Mark Harrison BA Indiana University 1989 MA University of Pittsburgh 1997 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY 0F PITTSBURGH Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by Mark Harrison It was defended on April 3, 2006 and approved by Jonathan Arac Bill Fusfield Jonathan Sterne Dissertation Director: Carol Stabile ii The Extraterrestrial in US Culture Mark Harrison, PhD University of Pittsburgh This dissertation provides a cultural analysis of the figure of the extraterrestrial in US culture. The sites through which the extraterrestrial appears -- spiritualism, so-called “space brother” religions, unidentified flying objects, and alien abduction -- are understood as elements of an ongoing displaced utopian imaginary. This mode of utopian thought is characterized by recourse to figures of radical alterity (spirits of the dead, “ascended masters,” and the gray) as agents of radical social change; by its homologies with contemporaneous political currents; and through its invocation of trance states for counsel from the various others imagined as primary agents of change. Ultimately, the dissertation argues that the extraterrestrial functions as the locus both for the resolution of tensions between the spiritual and the material and for the projection of a perfected subject into a utopian future. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

  • Ufos and Exogenous Intelligence Encounters
    UFOs and Exogenous Intelligence Encounters E S P I 43 PERSPECTIVES UFOs and Exogenous Intelligence Encounters Philippe AILLERIS , Founder of the UAP Observations Reporting Scheme The search for extraterrestrial life has fascinated scientists and the public alike for over half a century. In recent years, astronomers and planetary scientists have multiplied their efforts to discover life forms by probing planets suitable for supporting its development with telescopes and robotic exploration missions. Although the probability of discovering micro-organisms on other planets is increasing, the prospect of making contact with developed, intelligent extraterrestrial beings remains distant. However, such an event can not be excluded; it may happen unexpectedly and under as yet unforeseen circumstances, but it remains in the realm of possibility. In fact, recent opinion polls have shown that a large part of the public considers such an event as very probable, or that it has even taken place already. Although the popularised perception of such “close encounters of the third kind” in the form of UFO sightings is scientifically unfounded, it helps to build public support for space exploration missions, advance scientific knowledge on atmospheric phenomena and psychologically prepare the public for encountering extraterrestrial life. Furthermore, one should not necessarily assume that such a contact would be initiated by humans, or that we would be able to realise and comprehend it based on our own experience and intellect. After all, it would be the greatest discovery in the history of mankind. “…The idea of benign or hostile super beings from form in the universe, and the quest will keep other planets visiting the earth clearly belongs in haunting us as long as we have not found it, such a list of emotion-rich ideas.

  • Chapter 1 Little Green
    Chapter 1 Little Green Men Rority lounged back in his recliner, sipping his gargleblaster and puffing his stratodoober as the sun shone on his pale gray skin. Life was good. He'd recently returned from a trip to prehistoric times, back even before firearms had been invented, let alone the discovery of atomic power. It was a good trip, because the ancient protohumans had documented his visit. Of course, the protohumans had couched it in religious terms; it was kind of strange that he, Rority, would be seen as an angel. He grinned at the thought of a drunken, stoned angel. But because it had been documented in a book called “Ezekiel”, he had to go back to make sure it had happened, or it wouldn’t have. If that had happened, the timeline might have been distorted and the protohumans might have exterminated themselves, as the mathematicians had so carefully pointed out to him with numbers. He was still trying to make a drink he'd discovered on the trip that the ancient protohumans called “beer”. He’d tried it and found that the gargleblasters were weak, pale shadows of what the ancients had. “Hey, Rority, how's that ‘beer’ stuff coming?” Rority looked up – it was his good friend and partner, Gumal. “Well,” Rority said, “from the instructions it'll take another couple of days. I hope I got the formula right.” “Don’t you mean ‘recipe’?” Gumal twittered as another chair seemed to assemble itself from nothingness, the invisibly microscopic nobots arranging themselves to the reclining 1 chair shape.
