I realised early on, however, that there were human forces that could not be ignored whose aim was to discourage or block peaceful interaction with extraterrestrials. My approach became two-pronged: (1) to teach people how to contact extraterrestrial civilisations in peace, and (2) to bring out the truth about the subject to governments, the military and the general public. I like to call my book Hidden Truth — Forbidden Knowledge my personal disclosure, as it contains highlights of my spiritual journey, my interaction with extraterrestrial intelligence and with the so- called "secret government". This chapter gives a glimpse into the entity and how its members operate. In 1993, before I briefed the CIA director, my contact for meetings at high levels had suggested that we name our operation "Project Starlight". So that's what it was called in the early days.
