Q:  How long do you believe our government has had the knowledge that we are not
alone in the universe?

MAYNARD:  That is hard to say, but I believe the United States Government --but
not necessarily the elected government-- had some knowledge of an alien presence
as early as the mid-1800's. However, as to when official contact was made, I
have never seen anything in writing on a specific date. Although, through the
tracking of rumors, other stated information, and conversations I have had, I
would estimate that official contact was made in the early to mid-1930's. Yet,
it could have been as early as pre-WWI (1910-14), which is long before today's
popular belief of the 1950's. Therein, because of the limited (congressional and
executive branch) knowledge, the government as a whole was not prepared for the
UFO crashes that occurred in the late 1940's and early 1950's.

Because of this, the government stumbled dramatically, giving rise to
speculation and conspiracy theories. However, with the speed of today's
communications, the conspiracy advocates have a tendency to provide far more
information on the event than actually occurred. Therefore, society is left with
the feeling of being off balance, because of who does and does not have
knowledge of extraterrestrial life.

SURFING:   You state: "I firmly believe that if our government and other
governments that have full knowledge of this contact do not come forward and
make the announcement to the world, then the aliens will do it themselves."

MAYNARD:  Yes, I firmly believe this, and have believed it for at least the last
20 years.

SURFING:  If contact has been ongoing for as long as you believe that it has,
why the sense of urgency from the alien standpoint to make this announcement
now?

MAYNARD:  I came to the conclusion that something was not quite right between
the aliens and the people who were in contact with them. Not so much that it was
stated outright, but just something that was said while I was doing background
checks on cross-referenced documents. Also, in statements made during
conversations with several fellow workers and my friends who worked at Area 51,
it became obvious that all was not right at Groom Lake. Furthermore, other
discreet conversations had indications that there was a confrontation going on
between higher authority and those that had daily contact with the aliens.

However, I never learned exactly what the problems were. All I could grasp from
the conversations was that there definitely was a confrontation of some kind. I
have continued my research on this and believe that it is still going on today,
but in a more heated sense, such as armed belligerence on both sides, with a

This has all been proven true!!
