Corso here reveals the depth of his animosity towards extrater- restrials and the information he had received on their intrusive activities. His statements reveal that he had a sceptical view of the "benevolence" of visiting extraterrestrials. He endorsed com- ments such as General Douglas MacArthur's claim in 1955 that the "nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war". In terms of cooperation between the USA and Russia (the former USSR) to deal with the extraterrestri- als, Corso wrote: "The US and USSR are aligning their space programs against a common enemy."” Consequently, it can be concluded that there is no ambiguity in Corso's belief that extraterrestrials are a genuine threat to US national security and that the weaponisation of space is an urgent policy priority to deal with the "extraterrestrial enemy". If alive today, Corso would no doubt be a strong supporter of the current US Air Force plans to weaponise space and build a global defence shield that could target extraterrestrial visitors. In short, Corso consistently demonstrated strong support for military solutions to the presence of visiting extraterrestrials that, in his view, were performing abductions and other "intrusive activities" that posed a direct threat to US national security. After describing the various intrusive activities performed by the extraterrestrials, Corso went on to make the following startling claim: "The above are acts of war which we would not tolerate from any worldly source. It also appears they do not tolerate any such acts on our parts on their bas The implication here is that the extraterrestrials have bases, likely on US territory as alleged by other whistleblowers, and the US government was powerless to monitor these bases fully. Extraterrestrials that have entered into these agreements or "negotiated surrender", as Corso claims, have performed activities in the form of abductions, genetic experiments and aerial activi- ties that lead to great suspicion as to their ultimate agenda. Corso repeatedly pointed out that such intrusive actions amounted to an act of war and justified a concerted military response by US authorities. It needs to be pointed out that prior to these alleged agreements, most human-extraterrestrial interactions appeared to be of the benevolent "space brother" category that emerged in the 1950s.'° Individual "contactees" claimed to have been exposed to a variety of positive extraterrestrial experiences that inspired a rapid growth of public interest in the benevolent "space brothers". There is rea- son to believe that the abduction phenomenon that emerged into public consciousness with the famous Betty and Barney Hill case in 1961 was a direct result of alleged agreements reached with extraterrestrials. That is not to say that negative experiences with extraterrestrials or "abductions" didn't happen before the agree- ments, but that the agreements enabled these abductions to increase at a rate which went far beyond whatever government authorities originally approved. Do ETs Pose a National Security and Global Threat? The question that can now be raised is whether extraterrestrials do genuinely pose a national security threat to the USA or, more generally, a threat to the Earth. This question is made very complex by the amount of conflicting data on the extraterrestrial presence from a variety of whistleblower and witness sources whose testimonies are more difficult to verify when compared to the case of the highly decorated Corso. Answering such a policy question requires first that one understand the nature of the "national security threat" posed by extraterrestrials. Second, one needs to identify any groups of extraterrestrials that may be performing intrusive actions that fall into the category of "threat". Finally, one has to identify extraterrestrials performing non- intrusive activities that do not appear to be a threat to the national security of the USA or other countries. There have been many rumours that the United States has entered into agreements with extraterrestrial races. For example, there is considerable circumstantial and testimonial evidence pointing to the active involvement of President Eisenhower in meeting with and reaching agreements with extraterrestrial races. '° Corso, who served in the Eisenhower administration, alluded to such agreements in various passages in The Day After Roswell. For example, he wrote: "We had negotiated a kind of surrender with them [extraterrestrials] as long as we couldn't fight them. They dictated the terms because they knew what we most feared was disclosure." There has been an ever-growing number of alleged whistleblowers describing the various agreements reached with extraterrestrials, direct evidence of which they saw during their participation in projects or assignments with the highest possible security classifications. These agreements allegedly involved the exchange of technology or information by extraterrestrials in exchange for the right to establish bases on US territory. The existence of such bases is explicitly revealed by Corso in his private notes. The Secret Government, MJ-12 and Classified Agreements with Extraterrestrials The government authority that would be responsible for making the alleged covert agreements is generally known by UFO researchers as "Majestic-12", "Majic-12" or the "MJ-12 Group". Documentary evidence for the existence of such a secret organisa- tion emerged in 1987 with the discovery of a memo from WE APOWISATION OF srace the ea rly years NEXUS +57 FEBRUARY — MARCH 2006 www.nexusmagazine.com
