about 3,201 sightings and was never publicly distributed, but about which he Secretary of the USAF lied. I was the first civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, was the first o talk to several of the witnesses such as Major Marcel, Retired General DuBose, etc., and am still working on that case. Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident Paraview Special Editions, New York, 2004] was co-authored by Don Berliner and myself. I have visited 20 document archives and have a done a great deal of research on the government cover-up about UFOs — [Cosmic Watergate DVD] and especially about he Majestic 12 documents. As noted in my _ boo TOP SECRET/MAJIC [Marlowe & Co., 997], | find that four of the documents are genuine while over 00 are phony. I have used my nowledge of classified advanced echnology to deal with the false objections to interstellar travel and unusual atmospheric flight. I was also the first to publish about he Marjorie Fish work on the Betty Hill star map as described in Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience [New Page Books, New Jersey, 2007] by myself and athleen Marden, Betty's niece. of those witnesses have reported what they have seen. | doubt very much that as many as one per cent have been abducted. That is still a lot of people. Technological progress comes from doing things differently in an unpredictable way. an FJ: The chances that intelligent life on another world resembles human beings are extremely unlikely due to the set of variable environmental forces that shaped our evolution. Yet, the aliens are described as essentially little more than smaller variations of ourselves, with a torso, arms, legs, hands, a head, eyes and mouth. How likely is it that these beings have evolved on another planet many light years from Earth into humanoids? SF: | disagree with the basic premise. We have no catalogue of what creatures are like in our galactic neighbourhood. Likelihood requires data. How many have two heads or three eyes or five arms? © points come to mind. There may be certain natural directions for life to evolve: having a head at the top to see one's enemies, two eyes for binocular vision, systems (arms) to manipulate, etc., etc. ote that there aren't many life forms on Earth with three legs or three arms or three FJ: J. Allen Hynek was once reported to have stated that if the aliens turned out to be extraterrestrials, he would have been disappointed because he believed that they were more _ likely interdimensional beings. Do you share Dr Hynek's belief? more document ra, Stanton Friedman, photographed at the 20II Vortex Conference with Laura Beaudoin, co-author (with Frank Joseph) of Opening the Ark of the Covenant. (Photo: Frank Joseph) . As TOP eyes. Not all possibilities are equally likely. Furthermore, it seems reasonable that there has been colonisation and migration going on for millions if not billions of years in our neighbourhood, perhaps starting where there is a very nearby neighbouring sun-like star and far more time available. Zeta | and Zeta 2 Reticuli are only one-eighth of a ight year apart and are a billion years older than the Sun. Most Americans did not have their ancestors 1,000 years ago living here. [he SETI cultists completely ignore colonisation and migration. The only data we have on what aliens ook like is from the witnesses. Maybe the ammonia breathers go to upiter for their vacations and avoid he poisonous atmosphere of Earth. FJ: About 30 years ago, one of the earliest studies of alien abductions found 1,700 claimants, while later contested surveys concluded tha five to six per cent of the genera American population appear to have been abducted. What do you feel is a realistic percentage or figure? SF: | have no way to gauge that. believe that the Roper survey was not well done since no account was taken of false positives. I do know from the responses o my lecture audience tha approximately 10 per cent have seen what they would consider to be a flying saucer, but that only one of 10 SF: Dr J. Allen Hynek was a very nice man who, like most astronomers, knew nothing about interstellar travel so he figured there had to be another explanation. | certainly expect advanced civilisations will know a lot about subjects our scientists don't have courage to confront, including telepathy, remote viewing, reincarnation, ageing and controlling it. Magellan's ship took three years to go around the Earth. The space station does it in 90 minutes. It is not magic, but advanced technology. man to my 66 * NEXUS APRIL - MAY 2012 www.nexusmagazine.com
