Alien Agenda: Why They Came, Why They Stayed Read online

  There the Hambleton received special attention. Under the guise of rushing this heroic ship back into the war, for propaganda reasons her repairs went round the clock, with extra workers to further accelerate the work. In the finishing stages of repair she was fitted with unusual electrical machinery.

  On the night of 1 August, 1943, still missing 40 feet of length, she left Boston and proceeded to Philadelphia. She had been temporarily renamed and numbered: the USS Timmaron, DE-173. On 12 August, about the time Carl Allen—a.k.a. Carlos Allende—claims to have seen the Eldridge vanish, he may have seen a greenish coronal effect caused by her massive generators. Or more likely he wasn’t there, and remembered the date and ship’s name wrong because he heard the story secondhand.

  Either way, the experiment failed. A series of electronic proximity fuses suspended at various depths beneath the Hambleton’s keel failed to detonate. Perhaps the fuses were not sensitive enough, but this failure was of little consequence. Something else happened. The ship was surrounded by devices measuring the magnetic field during the experiment. Each magnetometer reported the exact readings. As the generators increased power, the field’s strength grew outward from the ship, then—as the power reached maximum—the field collapsed into itself.

  Einstein and Feynman understood the theoretical ramifications, and recommended Project Rainbow be placed in Alamogordo, New Mexico with the Manhattan Project, where further research would be conducted as progress on the atomic bomb permitted.

  The Hambleton sailed back to Boston to complete repairs. She was assigned a new crew and sent to serve in the Mediterranean before D-Day and no one was the wiser.

  Work on the atomic bomb was the priority. Almost nothing happened with Rainbow until after the A-bomb was tested. On 16 July, 1945, Gadget—the nickname for the first A-bomb—was detonated at what became known as the White Sands Missile Range. One week later a team was officially assigned to explore the results of the Project Rainbow Experiment.

  Richard Feynman was a physicist’s physicist. While he won a Noble Prize for quantum electrodynamics, he was also a genius in other areas, like particle theory and the growing field of quantum physics. But like many of the other prominent members of the Manhattan Project, he seemed to have had his fill of secret projects, and returned to universities and private research. Feynman did not stay with Project Rainbow to completion, but he contributed heavily in solving theoretical problems.

  On 6 January, 1947, the Project Rainbow team tested the device unexpectedly born from the Philadelphia Experiment. Looking like a cannon of metal rods wrapped in dense coils, it was intended to project a focused, electromagnetic field that disabled electronic circuitry the same way as the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear explosion, but without all the fire and death. It worked. While it would be years before it was perfected, the team increased its power, range, and accuracy over the next few months.

  Then one day in June some scientists decided to play with the new gun. It went off and triggered the biggest event in human history.

  CHAPTER THREE

  If the Philadelphia Experiment was media dynamite, the Roswell Incident detonated a nuclear blast for UFO phenomena. For every word printed about the Philadelphia Experiment, ten thousand have appeared about Roswell.

  So much has been written, recorded, and filmed that it is impossible to sort out the details of the events on and after Friday, 20 June, 1947. Between conspiracy theorists, UFO nuts, and government-issued disinformation, there are too many trails crisscrossing too many muddied creeks for even the best bloodhound to follow. But then again, there is always some truth to every myth.

  Creating the official summary and cleansing the Roswell Incident documents led to my work on the Philadelphia Experiment. I was never personally involved in any of the activities surrounding Roswell, but it is possible that I know more about what really happened than any person alive. One of the reasons for this is that the 1947 versions of black SUVs rolled up heavy mileage over the next three years. Now hear this!

  Around four o’clock on the afternoon of 20 June, 1947, two technicians tasked with recovering the truck-mounted Project Rainbow EMF Projector, and another truck fitted with generators, decided to play. They cranked up the power and fired a series of beams skyward.

  After fifteen minutes, the junior geniuses shut the projector down and secured the equipment for the drive to the garage. They were oblivious to the consequences of their fun until Friday, 8 August, when CIC investigators cornered them in their lab.

  It had taken over a month of strange occurrences and high alerts for anyone to suspect activities at Alamogordo had anything to do with the Roswell Incident. Once the Alamogordo think tank connected the Roswell crash with Project Rainbow, it did not take long to determine the projector had a missing fifteen minutes of use in the log, which led to the fun seekers.

  Ninety-six hours later, they were allowed to go home: unwashed, unshaven, but not unwarned. They were never allowed to speak of the incident again. The irony is that they had no idea why they were questioned. Other than the coronal and charged effects of close proximity to the electromagnetic device, they had seen or heard nothing. If the Minutemen of Concord fired the shot heard round the world, these guys fired the shot heard through the multiverse. Oh yes, during the next three years, both died of stroke. They would have lived longer had it not been for a rancher named Mac Brazel.

  Following a night of thunderstorms, Mac Brazel went out on Saturday, 21 June to check the livestock on the Foster Ranch in Corona, New Mexico, 75 miles northwest of Roswell. Mac found a large area containing debris, picked some up, and carried it back to the line house he lived in while working for Mr. Foster. The next day he visited his nearest neighbors, the Proctors, and told them about the debris. They told him he should show the material to Chaves county sheriff, George Wilcox.

  Priorities in Corona are different than those in big cities. It was a long trip to the sheriff’s office, so Brazel decided to wait until after the July 4 holiday and see the sheriff while in Roswell on other business.

  On the afternoon of 6 July, Brazel shows the debris and tells his story to Sheriff Wilcox. Wilcox calls the nearby Roswell Army Airfield and conveys the story to Major Jesse Marcel, base intelligence officer. Marcel’s boss, Colonel William Blanchard, authorizes Marcel to investigate the field of debris. 7 July, accompanied by Captain Sheridan Cavitt and Mac Brazel, Marcel leads the group in gathering up as much of the debris as possible, then returns to Roswell Army Airfield. 8 July, Colonel Blanchard calls General Roger Ramey to initiate a search and recovery operation on the Foster Ranch. Later, Blanchard authorizes a press release announcing the military has found a crashed flying disc.

  Within minutes of this news reaching the Pentagon, General Ramey receives a call from General Twining telling him exactly what to say and do. The press release is retracted with a new story—the debris is from a weather balloon.

  A twenty-mile square centered in the Foster Ranch debris field is cordoned off by military police on 9 July.

  11-25 July the military conducts a search-and-recovery operation using aircraft, military intelligence officers, and a handful of civilians from Alamogordo.

  Several truckloads of recovered material arrive at Alamogordo on 27 July. The material is processed, divided into four groups, and dispersed under secrecy.

  Group one consists of pieces that may potentially be debris from weapons. This is flown to Forth Worth, Texas, placed on a transport aircraft, and flown to Wright-Patterson Field in Ohio. The second group incorporates all pieces that have higher radiation readings than the wreckage in general. This material is trucked to Las Vegas Army Airfield.

  Group three is composed of wreckage consistent with aerodynamics and may have been essential to flight. It found its way to Camp Cooke, located 150 miles north of Los Angeles. The last group remains at Alamogordo and includes items from across the other groups, as well as anything ‘of scientific interest.’

  Knowing
to which place each group was taken is significant.

  Wright-Patterson Field eventually became Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and is the primary place where captured enemy aircraft are studied and new weapons are conceived, designed, built, and tested.

  Las Vegas Army Airfield was part of the Nevada Test Site (NTS), where radiation from nuclear tests was studied and measured. It consisted of 14,000 square acres and 10,000 square miles of restricted airspace. The base had been deactivated in January, 1947 but the NTS portion remained operational. Mysteriously, the base was reactivated in January, 1948 and renamed Nellis Air Force Base in 1950.

  Camp Cooke, California contained the military’s highest maximum-security prison. When Camp Cooke was deactivated in 1946, the prison continued to house the military’s most recalcitrant prisoners. Camp Cooke was also reactivated in August, 1950 as Cooke Air Force Base and given the mission and designation as Air Research & Development Command. One of its primary objectives included atypical and non-winged flight. It was renamed Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1958.

  Between July, 1947 and the end of 1950, these bases each received numerous shipments of secret cargo.

  Thus ends the official report of the Roswell Incident. It is worth noting that Major Marcel, the Roswell Army Airfield intelligence officer who ‘confused’ the debris of a downed weather balloon with that of a flying saucer, received the highest possible marks on his efficiency reports from Colonel Blanchard and General Ramey in 1948. In 1949 he received notice of transfer to work in the Pentagon’s top secret Special Weapons Program. It would seem the military was very forgiving of his terrible mistake.

  This is also the conclusion of the first box of documents’ contents. The second report—titled Project Rainbow Phase II: Events from July 1947 to August 1952—begins a new chapter in human history.

  CHAPTER FOUR

  Twenty-four hours after interrogating the lads who played with the EMF projector, radar installation crews and equipment were on their way to Roswell Field. In less than a week, field radar units were up and running at Roswell, Corona, and Alamogordo.

  Prior to World War II, radar was not very accurate or dependable. It was so crude the radar at Pearl Harbor misinterpreted hundreds of Japanese attack craft as a small flight of B-17s. One thing about war, it’s the best jump-start to improve weapons and defenses. By the end of World War II, antisubmarine aircraft were fitted with three-centimeter radar that could pick up a one-foot diameter U-boat snorkel riding ten feet above choppy waves. Granted, radar in 1947 was nowhere near what it is today, but it could distinguish targets of different sizes, speeds, and altitudes.

  Throughout 1947, the military radar stations in and around the Four Corners states made dozens of contacts with unknown objects. Military pilots had reported numerous sightings of disc, cylindrical, and triangular-shaped craft. While UFOs were officially born when civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing flying saucers near Mt. Rainer in June, 1947, the military had been scratching their heads for months over the mysterious invaders of US airspace.

  And not just any airspace: Alamogordo and the atomic-bomb test site were secret enough, but at the time, the squadron of B-29s stationed at Roswell Field possessed the world’s only nuclear arsenal.

  Once operational, the radar at all three locations began picking up images that suddenly appeared on their screen at mid distances, traveled at speeds up to six times military aircraft capabilities, made impossible maneuvers, and vanished mid screen as mysteriously as they appeared. Many of the contacts moved in a ‘Z’ pattern while on radar.

  The ‘Z’ flight pattern is a standard procedure for searching an area with a single aircraft. The boys in Washington knew what they searched for. They had it and planned to find more.

  The brains of the Manhattan Project were called upon to theorize what was taking place. The teams still working at Alamogordo worked in groups; the others, who had dispersed to more normal lives of science, worked remotely and communicated through military couriers and liaisons. Not surprisingly, it was Richard Feynman who provided the connection.

  The brain trust began with these questions: what are they? Why are they here now? Why do they cluster in this area?

  After examining the evidence, Feynman formed a theory. Feynman’s answers to the primary questions were dead-on.

  The craft, manned or unmanned, were from a place—or places—other than Earth.

  Feynman’s answers to the other questions perfectly connected all three. Based on the number of craft and their capabilities, he reasoned that the crafts’ owners were not new to existence. Because they previously existed and clearly had the ability to visit our planet, but heretofore had not visited as often or as openly, something changed to attract them. Feynman felt the change was obvious—the detonation of nuclear explosives.

  In 1947 there had been only five: the Trinity Test of the Manhattan Project, the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and two test blasts in the Pacific during Operation Crossroads. In addition to offering a greater threat to global stability than any other manmade event in human history, the unleashed atom touched the fabric of our universe. It was the effect on the universal fabric that Feynman believed attracted the visitors who flashed on and off radar screens and zipped ‘Z’ patterns over a desert containing the world’s most active nuclear program.

  So, they were not from this Earth, they were here now because of nuclear explosions, and they were in this area because of active nuclear research and programs. Just as everyone in Alamogordo was collectively nodding yes and wondering how Richard always made things look so obvious and easy, Feynman bowed out of active participation in the project.

  The next questions for Team Genius were: what exactly about nuclear explosives attracted the intruders? Where did they most likely come from?

  Again, answering the first question led to answering the second. A nuclear detonation is an instant release of energy. The energy manifests in an explosion as light, heat, sound, shockwave, and radiation. While catastrophic, all are regional to a degree. None provide a global impact. The light, heat, and radiation may be detectible within our solar system. Even if an element of the nuclear explosions on Earth could have been detected on the nearest star, it would have taken four years to reach there. Since the bombs were detonated in 1945 and 1946, the earliest any sign could have been noticed would have been 1949. So unless the owners of the uninvited vehicles could travel back in time, their appearance in 1947 made it seem unlikely they were stellar neighbors.

  A collective ‘hmmmmm?’ sounded among the scientists as this realization set in. Then the Rainbow Team had a eureka moment. There is another element of a nuclear explosion: a high intensity burst of electromagnetism. How and why would this attract the visitors?

  In 1947, quantum physics was in its infancy. Only the brightest of the bright could wrap their minds around the concepts that would eventually evolve from theories to mathematical models to experiments providing proof.

  The short history is this: in the 1930s, physicists gained the ability to test atomic particles. The problem was that, when tested, atomic particles weren’t. What were thought to be particles acted like waves, not matter. When tested as waves, they reverted to behaving like a particle. It seemed they shared their time between the two states, or in quantum speak—particle duality.

  As time passed and science gained the ability to refine atomic particle testing, it was determined that, whether particle or wave, they didn’t exist at all. Well, they did exist, and then they didn’t. They blinked in and out of existence. This posed an enormous question to the brilliant people who studied the world of tiny atoms—where did they go?

  During this same period of time, another group of brilliant people, who pondered the universe populated with billions of galaxies each filled with billions of stars, wondered, “Where did all this matter come from?”

  Nearly fifty years after the events of 1947, the theories of these people, who studied the foundation of existence
from opposite ends of the telescope, coalesced in an unsettling realization: for our universe to behave as it does, other universes must exist parallel to our own.

  This story is not about quantum physics, string theory, super gravity, or the M-theory. The truth is we really don’t have many more facts than we did during the lives of the Manhattan Project team members. Today, top theorists argue passionately whether all things exist in ten or eleven dimensions. Some espouse, while others poo-poo, the concept of super gravity leaking between universes. Meanwhile, genius-level math proves ‘everything’ exists in a dimension filled with membranes that bump into each other as they undulate, and that every bump results in a new Big Bang that creates a new universe within the membrane. But just because scientists believe something, it ain’t necessarily so.

  Here is what is so.

  There are other dimensions, lots of them. There are more parallel worlds than there are angels on the head of a pin. The visitors at Roswell are from one of them. As fate often does, the ship at Roswell was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  The same Robert Oppenheimer who headed the Manhattan Project created the mathematic model in the 1930s that proved the probability of the existence of black holes. In addition to heading up the world’s first nuclear-bomb program, Oppenheimer established himself as a leader in quantum field theory, relativistic quantum mechanics, and quantum tunneling. As destiny often does, he was the right person at the right place at the right time.

  When Project Rainbow’s team understood their EMF Projector may have been responsible for downing the alien craft, they called upon Oppenheimer and Feynman again for help.
