THE SECRET WAR ON ET CONTACTEES SECRET WAR THE CONTACTEES Since the early 1950s, a series of counterintelligence programs run by the CIA, NSA, FBI and other US agencies have been used to monitor, debunk, discredit and neutralise alien contactees and supporters on the pretext of their threat to national security. n the early 1950s, a select group of individuals began to make claims publicly of having had direct physical contact with "human-looking" representatives of different extraterrestrial (ET) civilisations. These "contactees" claimed to have been given knowledge of the extraterrestrials' advanced technologies, philosophical beliefs and efforts to assist humanity in becoming part of a galactic society where open contact with off-world civilisations would occur. Contactees described the extraterrestrials as benign, very respectful of human free will and ancestrally linked to humanity (thus dubbed the "space brothers"). Further revealed by the contactees was that extraterrestrials, who in many cases were indistinguishable from humans, had secretly integrated into human society.' The apparent goals were to acquaint themselves better with different national cultures and/or to participate in an educational uplift program to prepare humanity for galactic status. Contactees began to disseminate to the general public the nature of their experiences and knowledge gained through interaction with extraterrestrials. Information revealed by contactees presented an unrivalled national security crisis for policy-makers in the United States and other major nations. Two main elements comprised this c First, the advanced space vehicles and technologies possessed by extraterrestrial civilisations were far more sophisticated than the most developed aircraft, weapons and communications systems possessed by national governments. This presented an urgent technological problem that required vast national resources to bridge the technological gap with extraterrestrials. It led to a second Manhattan Project whose existence and secret funding would be known only to those with a "need to know".? Manhattan II, along with evidence of extraterrestrial visitors and technologies, would be kept secret from the general public, the media and most elected political representatives. Second, extraterrestrial civilisations were contacting private individuals and even having some of their representatives integrate into human society.* This was encouraging growing numbers of individuals to participate in a covert extraterrestrial effort to prepare humanity for "galactic status"—where the existence of ETs would be officially acknowledged and open interaction would occur. Also included was the issue of nuclear disarmament. Tens of thousands of individuals supported the contactees who distributed newsletters, spoke at conferences and travelled widely, spreading their information for peacefully transforming the planet and calling for an immediate end to the development of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons threatened more than humanity's future, according to the extraterrestrials. Every detonation disrupted the fabric of space, which could also seriously affect their own worlds in destructive ways. Directly confronted were the policies of major nations that were actively building nuclear weapons. Enormous revolutionary potential for the entire planet was put forward. Thus, contactees presented an urgent national security need for an extensive counterintelligence program. Preventing the contactee movement from becoming a catalyst for global changes through the teachings and experiences gained from ETs became top priority. Consequently, a highly secret and ruthless counterintelligence program was finally implemented that directly targeted contactees and their supporters. A series of covert intelligence programs was implemented that aimed to neutralise the revolutionary potential of the contactee movement. These programs evolved in three phases, which resulted in the final counterintelligence program that was adopted to eliminate any threat posed by contactees. * Phase one was the initial surveillance of contactees by intelligence agencies, which by Michael E.
