John McCoy, who coauthored with Williamson the book UFOs Confidential, operated the Essene Press. He introduced the idea that the Jewish banker conspiracy was involved in the UFO problem. The Stanford brothers were living in the same Texas town (Corpus Christi) as McCoy was, and in the mid-1950s they produced a series of contact books, one of which listed McCoy as coauthor. The Stanford's book, Look Up!, acknowledges "all those who helped in preparation of this book and the people of other planets who made the contacts described." Ray Stanford states that in December 1954 he recieved "a very distinct telepathic message from the space people," and he adds, During 1955 J also had a personal contact with two space men... the contacts were not very frequent during 1955 and the first six months of 1956, but beginning in June 1956, things really started popping. If we desire to prepare for future changes to occur on Earth, not merely for the sake of physical survival, but rather to be able to further serve in more adequate ways than ever before, there are definite things we must understand. Man incessantly on Earth has tried by science and other methods of investigation to go from effect to cause in solving problems. The Brothers and Masters of our own planet tell us that aad ua Today Rex Stanford has become a "scientific" parapsychologist, and Ray, in a reversal of his earlier position about the inadequacy of science, operates a UFO detection station using donated electronic equipment. Installed in Austin, Texas, the organization now uses an apparently "scientific" approach to the identification of UFOs. I find some curious analogies between the statements of these contactee organizations and those of Bob Barry, the director of the Twentieth Century UFO Bureau, headquartered in Collingswood, New Jersey. The Bureau is one of the groups that compose the fundamentalist religious organization headed by the Reverend Carl McIntire. Barry stated in June 1978 that he had three excellent sources, one in government, the others retired from highly sensitive positions, who asserted that the government was quite concerned with the UFO problem and had recovered a total of eighteen bodies after UFO crashes. An interesting belief of Mr. Barry's is that the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was part of a government plan to condition the public. "The plan in this country is on schedule," Barry said in an interview with Edgar Williams of the Knight News Service. "Three years ago it was decided to do TV documentaries and observe public reaction." Some of the believers insist that the movie by Alan Sandler Productions, UFOs: Past, Present, and Future, could have been such a test. Barry observes that reaction was good: So the next step was the film Close Encounters. Now, in a little while there doubtless will be the beginning of government advisories that UFOs are indeed with us. Encounters, 1 found these remarks interesting. Everyone is now so eager to see the government "reveal" this long-awaited information that no one questions the reality of the basic facts and the political motivations that could inspire a manipulation of those facts. Trying to outsmart the CIA and the Pentagon has become such a national pastime that lawsuits against federal agencies under the Freedom of Information Act have begun to accumulate. All that has been shown so far is that these agencies were involved — often covertly — in many Their book includes many allusions to impending social change, and it encourages the readers to prepare themselves: Among these lessons is the realization that science is inadequate, according to the Stanfords: we must look within. Since I was a narrator of the Sandler documentary and, indirectly, a contributor to Close
