ARCHIVE NEWS: Welcome to the April 2005 issue of the Anomaly Archives eNewsletter. We’ve got big news and a lot of ground to cover so I’ll try to keep things brief.
Beginning with this issue the monthly Anomaly Archives eNews that you subscribe to via email is now available as a free audio based Podcast. Don’t know what podcasting is? Well you will soon. It’s basically a way of subscribing to free audio content that is automatically downloaded to your computer and / or portable media player (such as an iPod or other PDA) whenever there is a new episode or installment of the podcast uploaded to the web. It’s really just a new twist on existing computer scripts that enable the distribution of up-to-the-minute data across the internet, only instead of just giving you the latest headline and link to your favorite news headline provider, it retrieves the latest audio or video content that you’ve chosen to “subscribe” to by inputing a web url (the podcast’s XML or RSS file address on the internet) into one of the many free NewsReader or Podcast software applications available. For more on how to get started listening to or making your own podcasts, check out some of these links below.
Before recording the audio for this latest podcast I recorded all three past issues of the eNews UpDates. So you can now listen to these past podcasts as well as this latest one. If you want to listen to these archived podcasts click the links below or just go to the the Podcast or eNews pages at our websites.

This month, on Friday April 15th, Pamela Latham, LPC and SMiles Lewis will be giving a joint workshop on the transformative potentials inherent in a wide variety of exceptional human experiences of a spiritual emergance / spiritual emergency variety. More information follows in this issues’ Events section. For more about my take on these transformative encounters and experiences you can READ or LISTEN TO my past presentation to the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness titled, Encounters with the Fantastic – The Transformative UFO Paradigm.
The Anomaly Archives is working with the Human Potential Center to move our collections and start a new office in the two-story garage apartment onsite at the Human Potential Campus. This garage apartment was the originally intended birthing space for the Anomaly Archives and is three to four times the size of the library’s current location within the main house of the Human Potential Center.
Once completed this new space will allow for our collections to continue to grow while also providing upstairs and outdoors meeting spaces, a bathroom and kitchen of its own and much more. The Human Potential Center and Anomaly Archives will be holding a Garage Clean-Out Yard Sale very soon to make way for the two organizations to begin the necessary upgrades required before the Archives collections can officially move in.
Several upgrades and reorganizations are planned for the AnomalyArchives.org and AnomalyInstitute.com websites. We are going to make them much more easy to navigate and more useful for you and others to visit on a regular basis. Look for a renovation of the digital collections listsings and much more coming soon.
Check out the links below that will take you to the Official Amazon.com WishList for the Anomaly Archives. Or just goto Amazon.com and search for Anomaly Archives in their wishlist section. Once there you can find a huge list of books and magazines we are hoping will be donated to the lending library of the Scientific Anomaly Institute.

NETWORK:
In the spirit of networking there is this good news that I learned of via the UFO UpDates eList:
On behalf of the International Contact Support Network (ICSN), the John E. Mack Institute (JEMI), the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS), and, we hope, other organizations to be announced, I’d like to briefly share news about an effort we have allied for: We are coming together for the purpose of maintaining a master network or directory of therapists who service the “experiencer” population – people whose lives have been deeply affected by alien encounters or similar extraordinary experiences. We are allied for a priority that supersedes any of our varying opinions and beliefs about aliens: helping people-in-need without pathologizing them. It is our collective intention to broaden this alliance to include other groups in the United States, Canada, and abroad that have each been attempting to maintain their own regional lists of clinicians. Each group will then invite the therapists they know and trust into the network, which we have dubbed the International Network of Experiencer Therapists (INET). This network is owned by no one but serves many. Furthermore, it is a secure network, accessible only by representatives of each group of the alliance and by the therapists themselves. (Therapists can also use INET for secure communication between colleagues). Currently, OPUS and JEMI have begun to invite the therapists whom they know into INET, and others are making preparations to do the same. At this time we would like to invite interested parties – representatives of organizations who have similar needs and similar clinical lists – to please contact any of us for more information on how to ally with this effort for the benefit of all. I hasten to mention that this secure network is entirely free, and if that sounds too good to be true, be assured that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction. (We have several people to thank for making this possible, but I want to keep this announcement brief). Signed by Will Bueche.

 eNEWS FEATURE:
One of the things I am always harping to people about is the use of UFOs and the paranormal in psychological warfare tactics and covert operations perpetrated by governments, militaries and corporations around the world. Whether by planting and promoting news stories or by faking sightings with advanced black-program aircraft and holographic projections or even through the manipulation of UFO cults like Heaven’s Gate or the use of magicians illusions to deceive an enemy, history is filled with examples of humans manipulating humans through beliefs in “supernatural” signs and portents. A few years ago, the government admitted that it had let some of the UFO sightings in the Air Force’s Project Blue Book files to be labeled “Unidentified” at the time because they knew that some were actually sightings of the then still secret U2 spylane. This is just the small end of the scale compared to the disinfo campaign deployed against Paul Benewitz when he got too close to top-secret projects at Kirtland Air Force base in the 1980s. In both cases, agents of the United States government, through paid personnel of the Air Force as well as willing civilian disinfo agents like William Moore, systematically lied to the American people, and in the Bennewitz case, admittedly circumvented the United States Constitution under the protection of National Security, eventually driving Bennewitz insane. The Bennewitz Affair effectively seeded the UFO community with memes that lowered the level of discourse in ufology to talk of underground alien bases in Dulce, New Mexico, treaties between aliens and the US government allowing for the wholesale abduction of and experimentation upon humanity and worse – the hybridizing of aliens with humans and the mutilation of cattle for still unknown purposes. UFOs as a “Strategy of Tension” – Vallee Uncovers the “Martian Conspiracy” Behind WWII Jacques Vallee is one of the few (and was the first) UFO researcher to touch upon this important aspect of UFO research – the use of “UFOs” as a decoy or strategem to accomplish some other goal that may have nothing to do with supposed extraterrestrials and their craft. He first began hinting at this possibility in his book Invisible College – What a Group of Scientists Has Discovered About UFO Influences on the Human Race in 1975. Then in his 1979 book Messengers of Deception he cited the then recently declassified information from the excellent book on WWII disinformation machinery, Bodyguard of Lies, that describes the massive “double cross” efforts of the LCS, London Controlling Section (referred to by the Brits as the “Martians”). It was this Intelligence Alliance that facilitated (some might say orchestrated) the allied victory. Vallee speculates about the probability that these same Psy-Op tactics, technologies and Intelligence networks continued Vallee began linking psychological control methods or “mind control” research to UFOs subtley in his book Invisible College where he proposed the idea that Waves of UFO Sightings seem to mimic a Psychological Schedule of Reinforcement.
John Keel may actually have beaten Vallee to the punch on this arena. He hinted at as much in his 1970 book Why UFOs – Operation Trojan Horse.
About 1989 artist and writer Martin Cannon published “The Controllers – A new hypothesis of Alien Abduction” that concretized the data connecting the United States government’s exploits in mind control research (a la ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, PANDORA, MKDELTA, MKSEARCH and the infamous MKULTRA) and many specific aspects reported in UFO close encounters and especially in claimed Alien Abductions. The overwhelming evidence of some sort of connection between UFO sightings, alien abduction reports and covert operations involving mind control experimentation seeped into the public consciousness largely through the UFO community exploding with talk of these possibilities. But it was the incredibly popular television series The X-Files that really catapulted this notion of some of the Ufo and alien abduction phenomenon being the continuation of the CIA’s (and other alphabet agencies) history of research into mind control and non-lethal weapons system testing.
It was towards the end of The X-Files series, that the writers began to delve into the notion that the myth of little grey aliens abducting humans was in fact the cover story for a much more convoluted conspiracy involving machiavellian conflicts amongst warring human elites as well as an alien pressence that had more of the qualities of a virus than our traditional concept of humanoid extraterrestrials. [Listen to the end of this podcast to here a mysterious secret audio track from the X-Files soundtrack featuring X-Files creator Chris Carter describing this complex conspiracy]In recent years, a number of writers and researchers have addressed the issue of the potential use of “UFOs” as a sort of Grand Deception to get the nation’s of the earth aligned with the United States, since they are reported to have secured a flying saucer and alien specimens as far back as 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico. Here are a few references to this subject:
Battelle, UFOs and Digital Talking Books
One of the probable reasons for ufo researcher Jacques Vallee’s suspicions about the potential use of UFOs as a form of Disinfo and “Double Cross” was his 1967 discovery of what has become known as the “Pentacle Memo.” This document led Vallee to the discovery of secret dealings between Battelle Memorial Institute and the United States Military / Intelligence complex and plans to simulate large waves of UFOs. All of this information was kept secret from the famous scientific Robertson Panel that was tasked by the United States government to assess UFOs. From Vallee’s correspondance on the importance of the memo, we read…
At the end of February of this year, on the tails of the ABC News UFO documentary, Greg Bishop appeared on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell to discuss the revelations in Greg’s new book, PROJECT BETA. Among the many revelations on the show was that special guest Richard Doty fessed up for the first time publicly to his complicity in the Paul Bennewitz Affair, the burglarizing of the Bennewitz home and offices under the cloak of national security, the disinformation campaigns employing ufologist Bill Moore and and attempts to disinform Linda Moulton Howe. But the topper of all this is his alleged viewing of a debriefing film that proves Roswell was real and that we did in fact have at least one living alien survivor from that crash – who also liked to eat strawberry icecream. Art Bell was wowed several times during the 4 hour interview, saying several times what an important show this was. From the Coast to Coast website entry for that show we read…
So is Richard Doty continuing his job as disinformationalist? Was he using the huge listenership of the Art Bell show to perpetuate more belief that the United States government has access to bodies and technologies from an “alien” culture? Who knows. But even if a huge percentage of the UFO phenomena were simply government covert-operations that doesn’t change the possibility that in a universe as vast and strange as ours … there still are probably other intelligences out there. And if they are “out there” – they seem bound to be … down here, eventually, if they aren’t here already. This Coast to Coast interview was a very important piece of the Matrix of UFO Disinformation. I hope to publish a more comprehensive analysis of it in the near future. Perhaps we can interview Greg Bishop and pick his brains about the use of UFOs and related phenomena in covert operations and psychological warfare. Tune in next time to see…

Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilized Society
–Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado Director of Neuropsychiatry Yale University Medical School, Congressional Record, No. 26, Vol. 118 February 24, 1974
Proceedings of the First International UFO Congress by Curtis G. Fuller. I’d never even heard of this conference, let alone the book covering the event proceedings. This looks like a fantastic resource snapshot of leading edge thoughts on UFOs circa 1980. There is even a huge section, “Part Six: UFOs as Mind Phenomena” wherein Stan Friedman admits to psychological factors but insists on the nuts and bolts reality of the phenomena. Elsewhere Jacques Vallee apparently reflects on the UFO as a sort of “paranormal software.” Other presentors include Kenneth Arnold, James A. Harder, Ted Philips, Frank B. Salisbury, David M. Jacobs, Jerome Clark, J. Allen Hynek, Ted Bloecher, Betty Hill, Alvin H. Lawson, Curtis Fuller, Jim Lorenzen, David Stupple, R. Leo Sprinkle, Berthold Eric Schwartz, and J. Gordan Melton.

In one of my favorite episodes, called Jose Chung’s From Outer Space, they deal quite directly with the idea that the military might benefit from having a technology that immitates a UFO or “holy miracle”. This is the X-Files’ most humorous episode incorporating the spirit of both John Keel and Jacques Vallee. This episode serves as an excellent

European Scientists Believe in Life on Mars –

Museum Puts ‘Da Vinci Code’ on Trial in Leonardo’s HometownBy The Associated Press / February 19, 2005 / 
NASA Researchers Claim Evidence of Present Life on Mars By Brian Berger / Space News Staff Writer / 
NASA Statement on False Claim of Evidence of Life on Mars News reports on February 16, 2005, that NASA scientists from Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., have found strong evidence that life may exist on Mars are incorrect.NASA does not have any observational data from any current Mars missions that supports this claim. The work by the scientists mentioned in the reports cannot be used to directly infer anything about life on Mars, but may help formulate the strategy for how to search for martian life. Their research concerns extreme environments on Earth as analogs of possible environments on Mars. No research paper has been submitted by them to any scientific journal asserting martian life. 
One of the most anticipated mainstream treatments of the UFO phenomena generated quite a buzz, with talk of it’s alleged focus upon physical trace cases and official eye-witness testimony. It was suggested by some that it would be distancing itself from the alien abduction sub-mileue of the overrall UFO phenomena. ABC apparently cut out the last interview footage shot of Harvard abduction researcher John Mack (before his recent untimely death at the hands of a drunk-driving Londoner). It is no surprise then that the airing of the special has created a heated and varied debate with reviews as broad as the many views held by different ufo researchers. Here are just a sample…
The definitive special about alien life …has yet to be made.

ABC Jennings Special – 
An ABC Documentary Lands in U.F.O. Territory By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
The Scum Rises: Peter Jennings on UFOs
The much heralded ABC special on UFOs has come and gone. Predictably, it was more of the same, a large number of lies sprinkled with a few truths. At least it wasn’t as relentlessly negative as such programs have generally been in the past. But people like Peter Jennings and his producers are cursed with the belief that they can understand—or already do understand—what they are looking at. The reality is that the UFO phenomenon is the most complex event in history, and a cursory examination of its surface by a few overworked and ill-informed television producers is not going to succeed in any way whatsoever to come to any truth about it.

New UFO book destined to create controversy! Project Beta, UFOs and official disinformation February 7, 2005 Phenomena MagazineBy Nick Redfern / Phenomena US Editor-in-ChiefGreg Bishop, the editor of the magazine 
While I would urge both anyone and everyone with an interest in UFOs to read Greg’s book, it is very unlikely to please some readers – and particularly the I-want-to-believe crowd that foam at the mouth whenever the words “underground alien base,” “Roswell,” and “alien abductions” surface.As Greg carefully and skillfully demonstrates, many of the sacred cornerstones upon which much of today’s ufological lore are constructed, had their origins not in far-off corners of the galaxy, but in the fertile and imaginative minds of US military intelligence and the behind-the-scenes spook-brigade.
The Gnostic Theory of Alien Intrusion
Egypt in December, 1945, although the significance of the find was not realized until — guess when? 1947.In that year, French scholar Jean Doresse identified the Egyptian find at Nag Hammadi as a cache of rare Gnostic texts. “Gnosticism” is the label scholars use for a body of teachings derived from the Mystery Schools of pre-Christian antiquity. Gnostics who protested against Christian doctrines such as divine retribution and Christ’s resurrection found themselves targeted as heretics and were brutally suppressed by early converts to the One True Faith. This is the untold story of how the Mysteries ended. Since that signal year, 1947, some of the lost Mystery School knowledge has been recovered.
