Subject: [UFOnet] My thoughts on "UFOs" and Area 51Zacherle Hoag (Vault of the Unexplained) interviewed me and described me as a former UFO/Area 51 conspiracy advocate-turned-skeptic - (which is true ) November 27, 2005
Q. What do you believe is behind the UFO phenomena?
I have researched the "UFO phenomena" for almost 45 years and have read hundreds and hundreds of sighting reports, analyzed hundreds of documents, seen many many footages of sightings, personally experienced a few sightings which I could not readily explain, interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses (including some so-called "abductees") and traveled far and wide to many sightings locations in both Japan and the United States.
Surprising as it may sound, after all these personal efforts of many years, I cannot even come close to declaring what is behind the UFO phenomena. It still remains a mystery to me.
However, after all these years, the bottom line in my view is that we have yet to come up with a single physical, solid, hard, tangible, irrefutable evidence to prove that the UFO phenomena are physical manifestations of physical extraterrestrial intelligent entities from beyond this earth. I am not saying that the UFO phenomena do not exist. I am simply saying that empircal science, the only discipline available so far that we can rely on to determine a physical existence of a phenomenon, has not come up with any concrete evidence to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that "UFOs" are physical craft operated or manipulated and occupied by physical entities from advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. This is why I came to believe that the entire phenomena could even be some form of religious manifestations or religious manipulations by a power which we cannot comprehend simply by physical pursuit.
Q. Why do you believe that UFOs are a satanic deception?
I never said that all UFOs are satanic deception. However, many highly respected researchers such as John A. Keel, have long come up with analogies between the UFO phenomenon and many aspects of demonology or demonic manifestations. Dr. Jacques Vallee, who is one of the most prominent researchers in this field, has also suggested that the UFO phenomena could be some form of mental or "spiritual" manipulations by what can only be described as unknown non-physical, intelligent (but quite often "mischievous"or even "malevolent") entities for purposes yet incomprehensible to mankind.
I concur with both of these researchers. I believe that occasionally these ultra-dimensional entities may be able to suddenly and temporarily intrude into our physical dimension and appear to be a physical manifestation to the observer.
Q. Why did you abandon the extraterrestrial hypothesis?
Just as John A. Keel and Dr. Jacques Vallee have both abandoned their Extraterrestrial Hypothesis of the origins of the UFO phenomena after many years of research, I, too, came up with a conclusion that it is impossible to pursue this phenomenon simply by relying on empirical methodology to prove that "UFOs" are physical extraterrestrial craft operated by advanced extraterrestrial civilization probing our planet. Like I stated, we have yet to come up with any irrefutable, solid evidence to prove that we are being visited by physical entities from beyond this earth.
We must be very careful, however, with the use of terminology. Religionists who believe that UFOs are satanic manifestations may accept the term "extraterrestrial" in the sense that these entities, who they often describe as "fallen angelic entities" or "demonic entities", are not of this earth.
"Extraterrestrial", therefore, is a relative term.
Q. What is your opinion on alien abductions?
Again, it boils down to this: what the abductees experienced (or are allegedly experiencing) could be "real" to the abductees, but in relation to the entire UFO phenomena, there has not been any single, solid, tangible, physical evidence to prove that we are being visited or even being experimented on by advanced, physical extraterrestrial entities from beyon this earth. The abduction phenomenon could also be some form of yet unknown mass (or individual) psychological phenomenon or it could be a manipulation by some invisible power for reasons unknown at this time.
The abduction phenomena experienced by the abductees may be "real" to the abductees. But again, when we talk about "reality", "reality" is relative. Therefore, we still do not totally comprehend what "reality" is.
Q. Can you give us your opinion on John Lear and William Cooper?
John Lear is an accomplished pilot, period. Because of his long position as contract pilot for the governmental agencies (i.e., such as CIA), he does have a comprehensible knowledge of such as the Nevada Test Site. However, beyond that, whatever he has proclaimed in the past regarding "aliens" or "alien bases" simply remains a "story", whether or not one believes that Lear was part of a disinformation campaign to bring ridicule to those who attempted to scrutinize what was or is really going on at bases such as Area 51 in Nevada. William Cooper initially was a believer and promoter of the UFO phenomenon. However, he later on reversed his position and began to state that the "government" had manipulated a segment of the population by making them believe in UFOs to create a universal threat in the future as part of a convenient means to cause panic in order to forcefully unify the world into a one-world government.
There was a time when I also took this position. My belief was that the "global elitists" could use or even stage a fake, artificial "extraterrestrial threat" as a last resort if they had a need to forcefully unite this world if it faced some universal crises or catastrophes. William Cooper in the end spent the last years of his life promoting the militia movement. His tragic death brought sobering thoughts to many researchers, including myself. Even though I did not concur totally with Cooper's ideas, I attended his funeral in Arizona.
Q. What do you believe goes on at Area 51?
Many defense-related projects go on at Area 51. Defense contractors (such as E.G. & G., Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, Boeing, etc.) are constantly working on various compartmentalized projects such as hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), new generations of stealth and new radar systems. It is a vital base for our national defense interests. I support the necessity of such bases.
Q. Why do you not believe Bob Lazar's story on Area 51?
Bob Lazar's paycheck stub for five days of work at the Test Site amounted to no more than about $985. For an alleged, top-secret scientist, this is almost unheard of. I met Bob Lazar in 1990, visited him at his residence in Las Vegas and was impressed with his apparent sincerity. To a layman, Lazar appears to be well-versed in science, but his hypotheses have been proven unworkable by scientists who debunked his theories and claims.
Q. What is your opinion on the story of toxic waste at Area 51?
The toxic waste at Area 51 was at one time a problem. However, due to the publicity it received, I believe that they have rectified that problem. The recent satellite photos and satellite photo analyses seem to indicate that the toxic waste burning has not taken place recently.
Q. Why did you abandon your conspiratorial views of Area 51?
There simply isn't any substance to any conspiracy theories regarding Area 51. I believe that it is our hard-earned tax dollars that are in the programs at the base. I strongly support the existence and need for such bases for our national defense interests.
Q. Why do you believe Area 51 was never a secret base?
Area 51 conveniently became a "secret base" because of rumors. The accidental creation of a "veil of secrecy" through rumors worked well in the end, especially for the Air Force which needed a convenient "cover story" to discourage any scrutiny of the base and its sensitive R & D programs by the public. The "laughter curtain" became a convenient veil for the Air Force's ongoing programs at the base. Moreover, "Area 51" had never been an official name of the complex. It was simply a Department of Energy's designation of that general section next to the Nevada Test Site and the Air Force never used that designation for their remote base. The Air Force never intended that remote base to be a "top-secret" base. The government acknowledges the base as "an operating base near Groom Lake". The base has always been part of Detachment 3 of the Air Force Flight Test Center operated by the Edwards Air Force Base in California.
Q. Do you believe there is anything strange at all going on in Dulce, New Mexico including the possibility of an underground base (even if it is not an alien base)?
Nothing strange that I know of is going on in Dulce, New Mexico. However, in the late seventies and early eighties, there were reports of sightings of "UFOs" or lights in the sky over Dulce. I definitely did read some newspaper reports on the sightings while I was living in Arizona. But that does not mean that an "alien base" existed or exists in Dulce. I was in Dulce in 1990 and talked to many residents there and spoke with the Jircarilla Apache Indian Chief in Dulce. I did not see any signs of any bases in or near Dulce.
Q. Could you give us your opinions on the End Times?
We could be living in the End Times as suggested by the Bible prophecies. However, I may be wrong on this. I could be off by years on this, or I could be totally off. Nobody knows. The only sure sign of the End Times, in my opinion, is when there will be a temporary peace treaty signed in the Middle East (between Israel and the Palestinians), which will usher in a three and a half-year temporary period of peace. It has not happened yet. The End Times scenario can involve a large-scale Middle East conflagration. It has not happened yet. There has been 4 major Middle East wars involving Israel so far: 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. The Iraqi War of 1990 did not involve Israel. The current U.S. invasion of Iraq has not involved Israel directly. When Israel gets directly involved int he next Middle East War, then I would say that the time is close. However, so far it has not happened yet.
Q. Do you see a New World Order coming into power and if so how?
I do not see a New World Order clearly coming into power at this moment. When the European Union becomes totally united and becomes a formidable unit, then perhaps that may signal the End Times. It has not happened yet. Moreover, there has not been any major global catastrophe that would precipitate the need for the creation of a global government yet. Should a major global disaster or series of disasters or catastrophes take place simultaneously, then it would be possible that a cry for a total global government could lead the world into such a creation, but as of this moment, we haven seen nothing of that sort. If the New World Order indeed comes, definitely Satan incarnate (the "Anti-Christ") will take power in the New World Order. But as I just stated, I have not yet seen any signs of such a New World Order coming into power. Thank you so much for this interview. For more information, you can visit my website:
