  • Government UFO cover ups discredit and hide information from the public about sightings by astronauts to the average joe.By Futurism Staff, Published 2016

“Although officially the government is not interested in investigating UFOs, many scientists believe there is a lot going on in the government concerning UFOs that isn’t being talked about,” says John Schuessler of the McDonnell Douglas Corporation. He is also president of Project VISIT (Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team), a group of 12 scientists studying incidents in which people report “encounters of the third kind” with occupants of UFOs. “I agree that our national security may prevent the government from releasing information about some UFO incidents.”

VISIT’s impressive team of volunteers, about half of whom are associated with NASA, represents a variety of specialties. A case submitted to VISIT is first screened for validity, individuals involved are interviewed, and their medical records examined. So far the group has looked into 70 “abduction” cases. Not all of them have been “solved” by earthly explanations.

“Skeptic has become a dirty word, but let me say I’m a scientist, and as such I’m interested only in facts,” says Schuessler. Without making any generalizations about the possibility of UFOs’ having picked up human beings for study, he admits: “All I can say is that something is going on. There’s a mystery here.”  . . . 

Some of VISIT’s cases get even more interesting. Like the three Kentucky women—all of them friends from conservative, stable backgrounds—who claimed they were abducted by a UFO and subjected to painful physical examinations by humanoid creatures.

“These women didn’t just start telling their story,” says Schuessler. “They knew something had happened because there were three hours missing in their lives. Only after prolonged hypnosis were they able to recall what happened.” The memories were obviously terrifying too. All three women thereafter showed personality changes and suffered severe medical and psychological problems. One died of a stroke; another has had three heart attacks and expects to die soon. The third is in a deeply depressed state in which all her normal functions and systems seem to be shutting down.
