2 BOOKS TO REVEAL GOVERNMENT-ALIENS, PHILIP KLASS-C.I.A. CONNECTIONS

This section announces two upcoming books expected in spring 1987. One is tentatively titled 'Just Cause', by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry Greenwood, which will reportedly deal with cattle mutilations, the Rendlesham Forest UFO landing case, and Project Aquarius. Fawcett claims to have information about Project Aquarius through military contacts, including a two-star General, and from his police and FBI friends. He states that the U.S. Military aided humanoids in cattle mutilation work and, in exchange, the U.S. received assistance on Stealth technology and the Star Wars program. Fawcett also claims that the U.S. Government has been in contact with an 'emissary' representing 70 alien races since mid-1975, and that UFOs are extraterrestrial. He believes humans are a 'failed experiment' destined for destruction before the year 2000, and that cattle mutilations are DNA experiments by humanoids. He predicts a significant event in 1990 that will change human history. Fawcett also mentions that Presidents Carter and Reagan had access to Project Aquarius data. He recounts an agreement in 1975 for an exchange of technology, where the U.S. acquired a UFO, resulting in the death of General Robert Bond in a crash in 1982. CUFORN President Joe Muskat inquired if there was a master plan to condition the public towards UFOs, to which Fawcett responded affirmatively, involving planned leaks and the use of motion pictures like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.', orchestrated by intelligence agencies, with completion expected in 1990. Fawcett also stated that the print media is controlled to suppress UFO information, and that his book, 'Clear Intent', is in its second printing and available in political science sections of bookstores.

MORE ON AQUARIUS

This section provides further details on Project Aquarius from a confidential source. It suggests that humanoids initiated the idea of breeding a 'pure' race among Nazis before World War Two and also influenced the idea of starting a World War, which led to nuclear blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The source posits that humanoids may have a moral code preventing them from directly destroying humanity, opting instead to wait for humans to eliminate themselves through nuclear war, or by providing the ideas for nuclear bombs. Robert Suffern of Utterson, Ontario, reportedly met with military officers in 1975 who discussed an agreement between the military and humanoids, linking it to the cause of World War Two.

W. Todd Zechel's Book

In a conversation with W. Todd Zechel, a former founder of CAUS and intelligence specialist, it is revealed he is writing a book solely about the UFO phenomenon. Zechel, who has a Top Secret Crypto-Plus Clearance and previously sued the CIA under the Freedom of Information Act, is also a documentary producer and writer. His book is expected to be informative and may cover his past experiences with intelligence agencies. His first issue of 'For Your Eyes Only' features a series on debunker Philip J. Klass and his CIA connection. Forthcoming issues will cover topics like 'Klass Dismissed-Klassical Disinformation', 'The Watergate Set-up', and 'NASA's Sins'. Larry Bryant, a former associate of Zechel, expressed concern that Zechel might be in danger due to the information he possesses.

The NSA-UFO Connection

This section discusses the potential involvement of the National Security Agency (NSA) in UFO investigations. It notes that Dr. Howard P. Robertson and Dr. Luis Alvarez, both on the NSA's Scientific Advisory Board, were part of the 1953 Robertson Panel on UFOs, which was supposedly set up by the CIA. The article questions whether the NSA convened the panel. It also mentions John Von Neumann, a consultant to NSA, and his alleged involvement in the Roswell investigation team. Dr. Robert Sarbacher's letter to researcher William Steinman is referenced, detailing the Roswell craft recovery and the assignment of Bush and others to investigate it. Donald Menzel, part of the MJ-12 team, is mentioned as an associate of Philip Klass, suggesting Klass may have known about the Roswell crash details before Bill Moore. The article laments that Klass, who knows the truth about UFOs, is instead working to debunk them.

New UFO Book and MUFON's '87 Theme

A new UFO book titled 'Communion' by Whitley Strieber, dealing with an abduction case, is due out in April 1986. MUFON's 1987 UFO Symposium will be held at American University in Washington, D.C., with the theme 'Symposium '87, There's More To D.C. Than Politics.'

Analysis Under Way

CUFORN is investigating a possible abduction case involving an Ontario woman. A fragment of material from the case has been sent to the University of Toronto for analysis, with results expected by mid-November. Professor George Hathaway is assisting with the investigation, focusing on Tesla technology and Einstein's Unified Field theory.

FOIA Responses from NSA

Two letters from the National Security Agency (NSA) are included, responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The first, dated March 3, 1986, from Dennis C. Chadwick, Chief of Information Policy, states that Project Aquarius does not deal with unidentified aerial objects and therefore no information can be provided. It also clarifies that Projects Sigma and Snowbird are not NSA projects. The second letter, dated April 15, 1986, from the NSA/Central Security Service, denies a FOIA request for Project Aquarius, stating the document is classified TOP SECRET and exempt from disclosure under the FOIA due to national security concerns. It also cites statutes protecting certain information. The denial is final, but an appeal procedure is outlined.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of CUFORN Bulletin include the pervasive influence of UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena in popular media, particularly television and film. There is a strong emphasis on government secrecy and classified projects like 'Project Aquarius', with a critical stance towards intelligence agencies and their alleged manipulation of information. The publication appears to support the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, contrasting this with the efforts of debunkers like Philip Klass. The editorial stance is investigative, aiming to uncover hidden truths about UFOs and their connection to government activities and historical events, such as the Roswell incident and World War Two. There is a sense of urgency and concern for the safety of researchers like W. Todd Zechel, suggesting that the information being uncovered is highly sensitive and potentially dangerous.

Main Cover Story: Syria's President Assad on UFOs

The lead story highlights a significant interview with Syrian President Hafez Assad, published in Time Magazine on October 20, 1986. The article, titled "SYRIA'S PRESIDENT ASSAD DISCLOSES HIS INTEREST IN UFOS IN TIME ARTICLE," reveals Assad's long-standing and serious interest in UFOs. He suggested that only extraterrestrial (ET) beings could broker peace between the United States and the Soviet Union. Assad further posited that an ET power would likely be unbiased and would offer advice rather than military or monetary solutions to global conflicts, specifically mentioning Israel and Arab powers.
