Straight Talk by Pete Mazzola

In this section, editor Pete Mazzola continues a series from his book, "The Beginning of the End," with "The Cover-up" (Part 2 of 4). He explains the decision to include these chapters is twofold: first, a perceived lack of significant UFO activity in the United States, with tabloid and "Hollywood-type" UFO magazines often being exaggerated or erroneous. He urges readers to contact the SBI for accurate information. Second, to alleviate his workload by using existing material while he focuses on office tasks, IRS statistical data, and ongoing cases. Mazzola hopes that all SBI cases documented in 1979 will be closed before the new year.

He also recounts attending the SBI's first seminar in UpState New York, describing it as "SPECTACULAR." He praises Chief Investigator Dan Lowenski's lecture for training field investigators and indoctrinating new members, encouraging other Chief Investigators to emulate this by holding similar seminars.

The section concludes with holiday wishes from Jim and Pete, thanking everyone for their participation and co-operation.

An advertisement for A.P.C.I.C. (Aerial Phenomenon Clipping & Information Center) is included, offering a UFO Clipping Service that provides monthly compilations of UFO and monster sightings from the U.S. and Canada, as well as world-wide sightings, for $5.00 per month.

The Conspiracy

This lengthy article explores the theme of government cover-ups, drawing parallels between historical scandals and the alleged UFO cover-up. The author argues that the American public has witnessed numerous government scandals, including Watergate, the Kennedy assassination, FBI wire-tapping, and political sex scandals. The piece questions why, if the public accepts these past cover-ups, it is difficult to believe in a UFO cover-up.

The author asserts that UFOs exist and that a cover-up is also in effect, citing numerous eyewitness accounts, photographs, radar confirmations, and analyzed documentation. The article poses rhetorical questions about the reasons for such a cover-up, how it has been maintained for over three decades, and how long the government intends to keep it concealed.

It then delves into the operational structure of U.S. government intelligence agencies. The article explains that the U.S. has multiple branches of government, each with numerous departments. The military, comprising the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, has intelligence-gathering departments that operate independently and report directly to the Pentagon. The Joint Chiefs of Staff compile intelligence data from all services and forward it to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The report details how various intelligence agencies, such as the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Domestic Operations Division (DOD), Foreign Broadcasting Information Service (FBIS), Office of Current Intelligence (OCI), and the National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC), gather information. This data is then reported to the National Security Agency (NSA), which forwards it to the CIA. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also collects and investigates terrestrial and extraterrestrial intelligence data, forwarding it to the CIA. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also investigates organizations and individuals that may pose a threat to national security, including UFO organizations, and forwards its findings to the CIA.

The article concludes that the CIA is the nucleus of this complex command chain, reporting ultimately to the President of the United States, though with several intermediary steps involving the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State. The author emphasizes the secrecy and compartmentalization among these agencies, suggesting that no single agency knows the full extent of what others are learning, which complicates the issue. It is even suggested that a department within the CIA that analyzes UFO data might be unknown to other departments within the same agency.

The article reiterates the difficulty of obtaining information on UFOs from government sources, stating that inquiries often lead to being referred to other departments, eventually resulting in nowhere. The reasons proposed for the cover-up include national security, the desire for power (to learn more about aliens before adversaries like Russia or China), or the possibility that the government itself has limited knowledge or fears that the truth is too shocking to reveal, potentially causing the downfall of religions and the government.

The author attributes the perpetuation of the cover-up to greed, power, and stupidity, suggesting it will continue as long as the public remains unaware. The article highlights the confusing yet "fail proof" nature of the intelligence gathering network due to its secrecy and lack of inter-agency communication. It also mentions the government's strict enforcement against leaking intelligent data to the public.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The central theme of this issue is the pervasive nature of government cover-ups, particularly concerning UFO phenomena. The SBI presents itself as a credible source of information, contrasting its approach with sensationalized media. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards official narratives and a strong belief in the existence of UFOs and a deliberate effort by governmental and intelligence agencies to conceal information about them. The publication encourages public engagement and investigation into these matters, offering its services for analysis and documentation.

The issue also touches upon the importance of historical awareness, urging the public to learn from past governmental scandals to prevent future ones. The structure of intelligence agencies is dissected to illustrate how information can be controlled and disseminated, or in this case, withheld. The SBI positions itself as an organization that seeks truth and transparency in a field often shrouded in secrecy and misinformation.

This document appears to be a series of articles or a newsletter focused on UFOs and alleged government cover-ups. It discusses the perceived penalties for leaking information, the government's supposed strategy for gradually revealing UFO data, and the types of evidence collected over decades. The text also delves into the role of media, particularly Hollywood films and television, in shaping public perception and preparing society for potential alien contact.

Government Secrecy and Information Control

The author posits that individuals involved in the government system, whether military personnel, intelligence agents, scientists, or politicians, face severe consequences for leaking UFO information. These penalties range from forced retirement and heavy fines to imprisonment, with the possibility of being "silenced" through accidents. The document questions how long the government intends to maintain this secrecy, suggesting that a coalition of individuals within governmental administrations might be working to inform the public.

It is believed that many governments worldwide are either initiating UFO investigation projects or openly sharing information. The United States government, it is argued, does not want to be caught unprepared and is likely assuming the public will be understanding if the information is released slowly. The author suggests that the government's intention is to "come out smelling like a rose."

Alleged Government UFO Data Holdings

The document claims that the U.S. government, along with its allies, has compiled nearly 30 years of UFO-related data, including photos, documents, investigations, and evidence that purportedly proves the existence of UFOs and alien occupants. A source, described as a confidential contact within a government agency, has provided a partial list of the CIA's holdings:

• All civilian and military UFO reports within the U.S. since 1948.
• All foreign country reports of UFOs since 1952.
• All worldwide physical and photographic evidence since 1952.
• All analysis results from collected evidence.
• Physical evidence from landed UFOs in Virginia (July 29, 1952) and Maryland (September 28, 1957).
• Physical and photographic evidence from missing Project Blue Book files (1953-1969).
• Various film footage (35mm, 16mm, 8mm, infra-red) taken by military and civilians from 1950 to 1954, including at White Sands, New Mexico; Santa Ana, California; Fairfax, South Carolina; New Guinea; and Canton, Ohio.
• Numerous film footage taken by the Air Force and Navy from 1950 to the present.
• All data on UFOs received from the FBI.
• 150 feet of film showing an actual UFO landing in the U.S.
• Film footage of UFOs tracked on radar and intercepted by Air Force jets.
• Film footage of UFOs observed through high-powered telescopes.
• Infra-red photographs of UFOs over California and photos/films taken by U.S. astronauts.

The White Sands Crash Incident

A particularly remarkable piece of information cited dates back to May 1954, involving a 50-foot diameter, disc-shaped UFO that allegedly crashed in the desert area of White Sands, New Mexico. The CIA, with military assistance, reportedly obtained fragments of the craft and the remains of two dead alien occupants, measuring about 40 inches tall. These aliens underwent extensive autopsy examinations, the findings of which have been closely guarded.

The informant's credibility is emphasized, noting the severe penalties for divulging classified national security material, including a $10,000 fine and a minimum of 10 years imprisonment per count. The author suggests the informant would likely face institutionalization or assassination rather than court.

Evidence of Alien Experimentation and Contact

The document presents more "far-fetched" data suggesting the government may be experimenting with human lives and has documented proof of CIA agents making contact with aliens under hypnosis on July 9, 1959. It also mentions numerous reports from high-ranking officers detailing encounters with UFOs and aliens from 1959 to the present, as well as film footage of UFOs over U.S. cities, aliens debarking UFOs, and UFOs interacting with military bases. Other alleged evidence includes a dog frozen mid-air by a UFO, film footage of UFOs over Ohio and New Jersey, and UFO formations over North Carolina. Additionally, it lists fragmentation from crashed UFOs, autopsy reports of deceased aliens, and documented conversations between aliens and government officials.

The Alerting Process and Media Influence

The article details "The Alerting Process," a government project to slowly inform the public about the reality of UFOs and their existence. This process is described as a joint effort by the Presidential cabinet, CIA, Air Force, and NASA, designed to avoid mass panic. The government aims to demonstrate that it has acted in the public's best interest by investigating UFO phenomena with taxpayer money.

Media, particularly the motion picture industry, is identified as a key tool in this alerting process. The film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is presented not as a coincidence but as a government-assisted production intended to convey truths about UFO phenomena and gauge public reactions. The film's secrecy, extensive budget, and realism are highlighted as indicators of government involvement. President Carter reportedly had an advanced preview, and the government is speculated to have used the film to study public reactions and prepare them for future contact.

Other space-oriented films like "Space-Odyssey 2001," "Star Wars," and "Starship Invasion" are also suggested to have government backing or influence. Television is also cited as a means of alerting the public, with an increase in UFO-related movies and regular TV series episodes featuring UFOs. Major networks are producing in-depth specials and news programs covering UFO sightings, and newspapers are publishing UFO reports and photographs.

Rationale for Alerting

The author questions why the government is slowly alerting the public after 30 years of secrecy. The primary reason is believed to be the government's inability to prevent inevitable open contact with alien beings. Public curiosity is growing, and more people are witnessing UFOs and sharing information, making the cover-up increasingly difficult to maintain. To prevent mass hysteria, similar to that caused by Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast, the government is now alerting the public.

The government hopes this process will prove it has acted in the public's best interest, despite past actions like suppressing data, harassing individuals, ruining lives, lying, and seizing evidence. The ultimate goal of this alerting process is to condition the public for future experiences related to UFOs and their occupants.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are government secrecy and cover-ups regarding UFOs and alien life, the alleged collection of extensive evidence by various agencies, and the strategic use of media (films, television, news) to gradually inform and prepare the public for eventual disclosure or contact. The editorial stance is one of skepticism towards government actions, implying that the "alerting process" is a calculated move to manage public perception rather than a genuine effort at transparency. The author frequently questions the government's motives and highlights the potential dangers faced by those who leak information, while simultaneously suggesting that the government's efforts are ultimately aimed at conditioning the public for unavoidable future interactions with extraterrestrial beings.

This issue of "UFO Magazine," dated November 4, 1979, delves into the pervasive influence of UFO and alien-related content in popular media, suggesting a deliberate "conditioning" of the public. It also presents a critical analysis of a controversial UFO case and explores different public attitudes towards the phenomena.

The Conditioning

The article "The Conditioning" posits that the constant presence of UFO-related material in television commercials, programs, news, newspapers, magazines, books, and movies is a calculated effort to prepare the public for an official disclosure. Advertisers, understanding public interest, are shown to be leveraging UFO imagery to sell products. The author suggests that this gradual exposure aims to condition minds to accept the reality of UFOs and alien beings, paving the way for a presidential address and the disclosure of 30 years of compiled data.

The government, despite this conditioning, is expected to face millions of skeptics. However, the article predicts that the majority will eventually accept the reality. To win over the remaining skeptics, a public address is anticipated, where the government would reveal its secret involvement in documenting and investigating UFOs. This speech would reassure the public that the government has been active, not idle, and that the secrecy was for national security. The disclosure would include all data on UFOs and prepare Americans for future contact. The ultimate goal of this conditioning, according to the article, is to enable the public to accept alien beings without fear, leading to a spiritual and mental awakening to the fact that humanity is not alone and that these beings are superior and intend no harm, potentially aiding human advancement.

The Pleiades Deception

This lengthy article, written by Jim Fallow, critically examines the claims of Eduard "Billy" Meier and his alleged "extraterrestrial" contact from 1975 onwards, as documented in the book "U.F.O. Contact from the Pleiades Volumn I," authored by Lt. Col. Wendelle C. Stevens. Fallow expresses his difficulty in writing this article due to his respect for A.P.R.O. and its directors, Jim and Coral Lorenzen, who were pioneers in abduction cases.

However, Fallow concludes that Jim Lorenzen has become compromised by "big business" and has done a disservice to ufology by endorsing Meier's book. This endorsement is seen as providing ammunition to skeptics like Phillip Klass and James Olberg. The book presents hundreds of photographs and motion picture film taken by Meier, claiming they are of UFOs and their occupants. Fallow questions the authenticity of these photos, noting that they appear to be taken in a communal atmosphere rather than a simple farm, and that Meier seems to have surrounded himself with believers, presenting himself as a "Messiah."

Major Coleman Vonkevizky examined Meier's photographic and film evidence and concluded they were "a complete farce." Lorenzen was reportedly warned to steer clear of Meier. Fallow criticizes the photos for being "beautiful" but "ludicrous," with one quote from Pete Mazzola suggesting they are so perfect they look like they need a New York license plate.

The article highlights inconsistencies in the "Alien" quotes, such as their discussion of timelessness contrasted with instructions for Meier to photograph a new beam ship soon. Fallow points out specific photographic anomalies, like a jet fighter supposedly making 22 passes at a UFO without firing, and a UFO in focus while a tree is out of focus, suggesting the UFO is closer than claimed.

Fallow also notes that A.P.R.O. has renounced Major Vonkevizky, possibly due to Lorenzen's nervousness about the book's market release. The article laments the potential damage to A.P.R.O. members due to Lorenzen's "erroneous blunder."

A Special Report

Written by Pete Spangler, this section details his attendance at a seminar on UFOs in Auriesville, New York, organized by Dan Lowenski. Spangler recounts his personal history with UFOs, beginning in 1954 with a sighting of six or seven "extremely hugh silver discs" hovering over Mitchell Field Air Force Base. This experience, confirmed by a local newspaper report, led him to research UFOs, starting with Edward Ruppelt's "Report on U.F.O.'s" and later John Fuller's "The Interrupted Journey," which detailed the Betty and Barney Hill abduction.

Spangler's personal involvement led him to visit the area of the White Mountains, New Hampshire, to investigate the Hill abduction. He then proposes a theory categorizing the general public's opinions on UFOs into four groups: extremists (with or without sightings), middle-of-the-road (with or without sightings), and non-believers (with or without sightings). He places himself in the "extremist" category and speculates that individuals deeply involved in UFO research may have been "programmed, abducted or subconsciously accused" to pursue these destinies.

He cites statistics from a Gallup Poll indicating that 57% of Americans believe UFOs exist, with 15 million having reported seeing one. He also mentions Dr. James Harder's research on abductees.

Advertising and Back Matter

The issue includes an advertisement for "THE SBI REPORT," encouraging businesses to place ads for "international circulation." It also features a section offering back issues of "U.F.O. Magazine" for sale via mail order, highlighting their rarity and collector's value.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the alleged government strategy of public conditioning regarding UFOs, the critical examination of UFO evidence and claims (particularly the Billy Meier case), and the exploration of individual and public attitudes towards the UFO phenomenon. The editorial stance appears to be one of skepticism towards sensational claims, a belief in the need for transparency from the government, and a critical approach to ufological research, while acknowledging the widespread public interest and belief in UFOs.

Title: UFO REPORT
Issue: Vol. 1, No. 1
Date: 1979
Publisher: SBI
Country: USA

This issue of UFO REPORT, published by the Society for Basic Investigation (SBI), delves into various aspects of UFOlogy, Orgone Energy, and alleged government cover-ups. The magazine features articles, news reports, and feedback from individuals and organizations interested in unexplained phenomena.

Subconscious Programming and UFOlogy

The issue opens with a discussion on the potential for subconscious programming in individuals involved in UFO research. Statistics suggest that a significant portion of people involved in UFO research may have experienced some form of mental programming during their adulthood or childhood. This programming is hypothesized to be linked to recurring dreams, actual abductions, or a deep-seated need to understand the phenomena. The author proposes a survey within the SBI using regressive hypnosis to identify individuals who may have been programmed or abducted.

Orgone Energy: Life Power vs. Death Power

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the work of Dr. Wilhelm Reich and his discovery of 'Orgone Energy.' The article contrasts this 'Life-Positive' energy with 'nuclear energy,' which is termed 'Death Energy' due to its destructive nature and radioactive fallout. Dr. Reich's Orgone Energy Accumulator is presented as a device that could dissolve cancer tumors and reverse the cancer process. However, his discoveries are claimed to have been suppressed, his books burned, and he himself imprisoned and died in federal prison in 1957. The article posits that powerful industries, such as oil, electric, and atomic energy, suppressed Reich's work because it offered a free source of cosmic energy that threatened their profit-making ventures.

The 'Oranur Experiment' and Weather Control

Further exploration of Reich's work includes the 'Oranur Experiment,' where nuclear material was treated with Orgone energy, transforming it into a more powerful and benign form called ORUR. This new material is said to have fantastic Life-Positive properties and the ability to control weather. The article claims that several civilian groups are using Reich's weather-control discoveries, with the potential for devastating weather events to be triggered by malicious individuals. The government's denial of Orgone energy's existence is seen as a barrier to controlling its misuse.

UFOs and Orgone Energy

The magazine also connects Orgone Energy to the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). It is suggested that UFOs utilize cosmic Orgone energy for propulsion and that their craft can be disabled by withdrawing this energy. The government's inability to cope with UFOs is presented as a reason for them to acknowledge the existence of Orgone energy. The article implies that recognizing alien visitors from other planets would also necessitate recognizing the force that propels them.

'Orgone Energy - The Answer to Atomic Suicide'

A book titled 'Orgone Energy - The Answer to Atomic Suicide' is promoted as providing documentation and facts behind Reich's discoveries. It is described as detailing the suppression of his work, the alleged persecution by the FDA, and corroboration from physicians and scientists. Readers are urged to purchase the book to understand the facts and to demand action from their federal representatives to reopen Reich's case and bring those responsible to trial.

Science/Scope and News Reports

The 'Science/Scope' section reports on discoveries made by NASA's Pioneer 11 spacecraft, including new rings and moons around Saturn and atmospheric temperature readings on Titan. The 'Grapevine' section features dateline reports from various locations:

• Auriesville, New York: A seminar by the SBI was held, with an excellent presentation despite some uninvited guests.
• Lantana, Florida: Concerns are raised about a tabloid publishing exaggerated UFO stories, such as 'A UFO BASE ON A SATURN MOON,' and a call is made for a return to honest reporting.
• New York City, New York: Rumors suggest the SBI and CAUS (Citizens Against UFO Suppression) are forming a coalition to combat evidence held by governmental agencies, with both organizations initiating lawsuits against various government bodies.
• Staten Island, New York: The SBI plans to sell slides of UFOs, IFOs, and hoaxes to its membership.

Reader Feedback and International Perspectives

The 'Reader Feedback' section includes several reports:

• Chile: An exclusive report details a daylight disc (DD) observed during a ski tournament in 1978, with the Chilean government confiscating the video evidence. The SBI is working to obtain a copy.
• Valencia, Spain: An airline pilot and passengers witnessed a Red-glowing UFO, prompting evasive action.
• Michigan/Indiana: Numerous sightings of brightly lighted, unidentified objects were reported near Lake Michigan.
• Princeton, New Jersey: A police report describes patrolmen observing three revolving lights, and a Newark Airport flight controller also reportedly saw a similar object.

Reveille's Phantom Spaceship

This section discusses a sensational story from the British tabloid 'Reveille' and the American 'National Enquirer' about Soviet space experts tracking wreckage from an alien spaceship orbiting Earth. The report quotes Soviet scientists who claim the spacecraft was large and broke into pieces in 1955. However, Western experts, including Desmond King-Hele, express skepticism, stating that such objects would be tracked by radar and visually. The article suggests the Russian report may be based on a misunderstanding of John Bagby's earlier, erroneous claims about 'phantom moonlets.'

Official Statements on UFOs

The issue includes official statements regarding UFOs:

• U.S. General Benjamin Chidlaw (February 1953): States that the U.S. takes UFO reports seriously due to lost men and planes during interception attempts.
• U.N. Secretary General U Thant (June 1967): Considers UFOs a major problem facing the United Nations, second only to war.
• Professor Dr. Felix Zigel (March 1968): Emphasizes the seriousness of UFO investigation and the vital need for international cooperation.

The Spotlight: SBI Membership Updates

'The Spotlight,' by Dorothy Soultanokis, the SBI office manager, provides updates on new membership materials, including enrollment cards, letters of introduction, badges, ID cards, and questionnaires. It announces that some older forms are now outdated. The section also highlights the introduction of a new STAFF ARTIST, John Collado, and notes that 47% of the SBI's membership has a law enforcement background. It also welcomes new Consultants, Staff members, and Investigators.

New Consultants and Staff

Further introductions are made to new SBI team members:

• John Collado: A new Staff Artist, who is also a Police Officer.
• Al Medina: A Police Officer from New York City, who is a Spanish translator and has connections in Peru, a major UFO sighting area.
• Jerome Eden: A Consultant and an authority on Orgone Energy, who publishes the 'EDEN BULLETIN' and is registered as a weather-modification expert using the Wilhelm Reich machine.

The issue concludes with holiday greetings from the SBI Staff.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO REPORT are the pervasive nature of UFO phenomena, the potential for hidden knowledge and suppressed scientific discoveries (particularly Orgone Energy), and the alleged involvement of governments and powerful industries in concealing information. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for open investigation, challenging official narratives, and promoting the work of researchers like Dr. Wilhelm Reich, while also highlighting the organizational activities and growth of the SBI.
