Reverend Holt was not the sort of person to make up such a wild story, and the sisters feel that by telling the story they are following their father's wishes. Barbara A. Wolamin, the curator at the US Capitol building, chuckled a bit after being told the story. She said she had never heard about these creatures being stored at the Capitol, but she did confirm that back then there was a sub-basement that was divided into storage rooms. She said the building had been significantly changed over the years. So, in a small way, part of Reverend Holt's story checked out. After Cordell Hull left government service, he wrote his memoirs in a two- volume book set. No reference to this story appears in these pages, among his papers in the Library of Congress. We contacted numerous experts and libraries and found no confirmation for the story. If four alien bodies and other-world tech- nology were retrieved in 1939, what would that do to our interpretation of the US gov- ernment's involvement in UFO research? One would assume prior knowledge would have made the government ready for an event like Roswell and that the Roswell retrieval was more efficient because of that. This is a story that truly deserves further investigation. Thanks to William E. Jones, MUFON State Director for Ohio, Dr Irena Scott and CUFOS International UFO Reporter. (Source: By George A.

They arrived anonymously in UFO researcher Tim Cooper's Big Bear, California, mailbox in July 2001. UFOs, the CIA and National Security The third paper is an Executive Briefing document for the Director of Central Intelligence, titled "Unidentified Flying Object: Implication for Nation Security and Human Survival". It provides a three-page introduction to a paper of undetermined length, written by LCR in December 1976. LCR reveals that between 1946 and 1955, he compiled infor- mation on UFOs and the US intelligence community that was included in his book, Central Intelligence, UFOs and National Security, published in 1956 by the CIA. It reveals the surprising fact that many secret documents concerning UFO encounters at Los Alamos and the White Sands Missile Range in the period 1944-1949 were destroyed, and also reveals how this caused problems in trying to evaluate the true pic- ture from an historical perspective. The paper also touches upon the CIA's role in espionage and UFO investigations, 66 ¢ NEXUS MEN IN DARK MEN in BLACK www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2002
