Famous Sayings About UFOs

Dr. Herman Oberth, the father of modern rocketry, is quoted as saying
in 1954, "UFOs are  conceived and directed by intelligent beings of a
very high order, and they are propelled by distorting the gravitational
field, converting gravity into useable energy.  There is no doubt in my
mind that these objects are interplanetary craft of some sort.  I and
my colleagues are confident that they do not originate in our solar
system, but we feel that they may use Mars of some other body as sort
of a way station.  They probably do not originate in our solar system,
perhaps not even in our galaxy."  Years later he was  quoted as saying,
"We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain
scientific fields alone.  We have been helped."  When asked  by whom,
he replied, "The people of other worlds."  [More about this quote at

Barry Goldwater, a retired Air Force Reserve Brigadier General and
pilot with many decades of flying experience, was quoted as saying, "I
certainly believe in aliens in space.  They may not look like us, but I
have very strong feelings that they have advanced beyond our mental
capabilities."  He said he was refused permission to check the Air
Force files on UFOs and added, "I think some highly secret government
UFO investigations are going on that we don't know about--and probably
never will unless the Air Force discloses them."  He said that he put
faith in the reports of the Air Force, Navy, and commercial pilots who
reported instances where a UFO would fly near them--right off their
plane's wing--and then just zoom away at incredible speeds.  "I
remember the case in Georgia in the 1950's of a National Guard plane
going after a UFO and never returning.  And I recall the case in
Franklin, Kentucky, when four military planes investigated a UFO.  One
of them exploded in midair and no one knows why."

Werhner Von Braun (Nazi-American rocket engineer), reflecting on the
deflection of the US June 2  rocket from orbit in 1959, stated "We find
ourselves faced by powers
which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base is
at present unknown to us.  More I cannot say at present.  We are now
engaged in entering into closer contact with those powers, and in six
or nine months time it may be possible to speak with some precision on
the matter."

Douglas MacArthur, in a speech given to the United States Military
Academy on May 12, 1962 stated, "You now face a new world, a world of
change.  We speak in strange terms, of harnessing the cosmic energy, of
ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces
of some other planetary galaxy."

Colonel L. Gordon Cooper, Mercury 9, Gemini-5 Astronaut:

"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are
visiting this planet from other planets which obviously are a little
more technically advanced than we are here on Earth.   I feel that we
need to have a top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect
and analyze data from all over the earth concerning any type of
encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors
in a friendly fashion.  We may first have to show them that we have
learned to resolve our problems by peaceful means, rather than warfare,
before we are accepted as fully qualified universal team members.  This
acceptance would have tremendous possibilities of advancing our world
in all areas.  Certainly then it would seem that the UN has a vested
interest in handling this subject properly and expeditiously.

For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all
specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the
USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition
unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a
quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them
public.

Why? Because the authorities are afraid that people may think of some
kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We have to avoid
panic by all means."   In another interview he said "As far as I am
concerned, there have been too many unexplained examples of UFO
sightings around this Earth for us to rule out the possibilities that
some form of life exists out there beyond our own world."

that UFOs are real. All we need to ask is where do they come from."

color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued
filming them after he and
Armstrong went outside.  Armstrong confirmed that the story was true
but refused to go into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA
was behind the cover-up.

(UFOs) were somebody else, some other civilization."

June 7, 1968, Lee Katchen, an atmospheric physicist with NASA stated
that on the basis of the 7,000 reports that he had examined, he
believed UFOs to be extraterrestrial probes.  "UFO sightings are now so
common, the military doesn't have time to worry about them - so they
screen them out.  The major defense systems have UFO filters built into
them, and when a UFO appears, they simply ignore it."  When asked for
specifics, Katchen specifically singled out the radar network employed
by SAGE (semi-automatic ground environmental system), the North
American tactical air defense system, which tracks all aircraft
flights.  "The filters cut out all unconventional objects or targets
and makes no record of UFOs"  Unconventional targets are ignored,
because, apparently we are only interested in Russian targets, possibly
enemy targets.  Something that hovers in the air, then shoots off at
5,000 miles per hours, doesn't interest us, because it can't be the
enemy.  UFOs are picked up by ground and air radar, and they have been
photographed by gun camera all along.  There are so many UFOs in the
sky that the Air Force has had to employ special radar networks to
screen them out."

Dean who has served 27 years in the Army  and has researched UFOs for
the last 40 years once saw an astonishing super-secret NATO report
entitled "The Assessment. "  This top-secret report had been complied
in the early 1960's by top-level military experts and scientists, and
it's conclusions were:

1) Earth has been spied upon by several extraterrestrial civilizations
for thousands of years.

2)  These civilizations appear to be peaceful since they are so
advanced they could have taken over our planet by now.

3)  The visitors are increasing contact with us in a gradual unfolding
of a plan in which they eventually interact with Earth's inhabitants.

Bob Deans conclusions from his 40-year study is that "The human race is
a hybrid race and not only are we not alone in the Cosmos, but we have
never been alone."

Dean also stated, "The human race has had an intimate
inter-relationship with several high technology, extremely advanced
extraterrestrial civilizations for several thousand years."

Oberth's colleagues [or former colleagues] was Dr. Walther Riedel, once
chief designer and research director at the German rocket center in
Peenemunde.  After the war he engaged in secret work for the U.S.  LIFE
Magazine reported on April 7, 1952:

Dr. Riedel has never seen a saucer himself, but for several years he
has kept records of saucer sightings all over the world.  He told LIFE:
 "I am completely convinced that they have an out-of-world basis."

Dr. Riedel has four points to his argument: "First, the skin
temperatures of structures operating under the observed conditions
would make it impossible for any terrestrial structure to survive. The
skin friction of the missile at those speeds at those altitudes would
melt any metals or nonmetals available.

"Second, consider the high acceleration at which they fly and
maneuver... In some descriptions the beast spirals straight up.  If you
think of the fact that the centrifugal force in a few minutes of such a
maneuver would press the crew against the outside, and do likewise to
the blood, you see what I mean.

"Third.... There are many occurrences where they have done things that
only a pilot could perform but that no human pilot could stand.

"Fourth, in most of the reports there is a lack of visible jet. Most
observers report units without visible flame . . . and no trail.  If it
would be any known type of jet, rocket, piston  engine, or
chain-reaction motor, there would be a very clear trail at high
altitude.  It is from no power unit we know of . . ."
===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++====+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++====+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+Also
quoted in the LIFE article was Dr. Maurice Biot, leading
aerodynamicists and mathematical physicist, who said, "The least
improbable explanation is that these things are artificial and
controlled ... My opinion for some time has been that they have an
extraterrestrial origin."

not even in our galaxy."  Years later he was  quoted as saying, "We
cannot take the credit for our record advancement
in certain scientific fields alone.  We have been helped."  When asked
by whom, he replied, "The people of other worlds."

Oberth made his statement to a group of reporters in 1959 or 1960 upon
his retirement.  But Oberth wasn't alone in such pronouncements.

Wilbert B. Smith was a Canadian electrical engineer.  Following an
interview with physicist Robert Sarbacher back in 1950, in which
Sarbacher confirmed the existence of crashed saucers and the recovery
of alien bodies, Smith got the Canadian government to establish Project
Magnet, an attempt to understand and duplicate flying saucer
performance.  This has all been well-documented from Smith's notes of
his meeting with Sarbacher, confirmation by Sarbacher in the 1980s, and
various declassified Canadian government documents.

Smith gave a tape-recorded speech in Ottawa, Canada on March 31, 1958,
in which he summarized findings of a two-year UFO investigation,
including a series of communications with intelligences claiming to be
extraterrestrial and laboratory experiments suggested by these entities
that confirmed the validity of their alien science.  The transcript of
Smith's speech is in "Flying Saucer Review," Sept/Oct 1963, pp. 13-16.

Timothy Good in "Above Top Secret" (p. 205) also noted that Smith wrote
an article in 1958 in which he said that contact had been established
with the occupants of UFOs and that he had learned a great deal from
investigating these contacts.  He wrote, "But it soon became apparent
that there was a very real and quite large gap between this alien
science and the science in which I had been trained.  Certain crucial
experiments were suggested and carried out, and in each case the
results confirmed the validity of the alien science.  Beyond this point
the alien science just seemed to be incomprehensible.

Fears of UFO Invasion The People [London]
>From Gerry Lovell <gerry@farshore.force9.co.uk> 10/18/98

WORRIED Winston Churchill ordered a top-level probe into UFOs when he
was Premier, it was revealed yesterday.  The Lord Chancellor, Lord
Irvine, revealed the investigation as he admitted the Government is
holding at least 33 top-secret files on UFOs.  The classified documents
are held under lock and key at the Public Record Office in Kew, West
London, and Lord Irvine says there may be more in other Government
departments.

But the information contained is so sensitive it cannot be released
with the other 23 files reporting sightings between 1943 and 1967 which
have already been made public.  Churchill asked his air minister Lord
Cherwell to investigate in 1952, writing: "What does all this stuff
about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?"

He was told 12 days later there was no evidence flying saucers existed.
Yet official documents show the War Office received reports that flying
saucers were spotted by the RAF's 115 Squadron on  bombing raids over
Germany in 1943. And in the year Churchill asked for his investigation,
another  two sightings had been reported to the War Office.
Lord Irvine's statement follows questioning by Lord Hill-Norton, Chief
of the Defence Staff in the 1970s, who says UFO evidence is being
concealed.
===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++====+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++====+++===+++===+++===+++===+++===+
It is time for the truth to be brought out... Behind the scenes
high-ranking  Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs.
But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to
believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.... I urge immediate
Congressional action to reduce the dangers from secrecy about
unidentified flying objects. --Former CIA Director Vice Admiral Roscoe
Hillenkoetter, signed statement to Congress, August 22, 1960.

I don't know whether this story has ever been told or not. They weren't
called UFOs. They were called enemy helicopters. And they were only
seen at night and they were only seen in certain places. They were seen
up around the DMZ in the early summer of '68. And this resulted in
quite a little battle. And in the course of this, an Australian
destroyer took a hit and we never found any enemy, we only found
ourselves when this had all been sorted out. And this caused some
shooting there, and there was no enemy at all involved but we always
reacted. Always after dark. The same thing happened up at Pleiku at the
Highlands in '69.

In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the conclusion that a certain
number of anomalous phenomena has been produced within Belgian
airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations compiled in
this [SOBEPS] book, reinforced by the reports of the night of March
30-31 [1990], have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number
of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place. Until now, not a
single trace of aggressiveness has been signalled; military or civilian
air traffic has not been perturbed nor threatened. We can therefore
advance that the presumed activities do not constitute a direct menace.


The day will come undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be observed with
technological means of detection and collection that won't leave a
single doubt about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that
has covered the mystery for a long time. A mystery that continues to
the present. But it exists, it is real, and that in itself is an
important conclusion.

that they come from some extraterrestrial source.

seem to
me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained
observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots.
Their observations have in many instances... been supported either by
technical means such as radar or, even more convincingly, by...
interference with electrical apparatus of one sort or another....

I must say that if listeners could see for themselves the mass of
reports coming in from the airborne gendarmerie, from the mobile
gendarmerie, and from the gendarmerie charged with the job of
conducting investigations, all of which reports are forwarded by us to
the National Center for Space Studies, then they would see that it is
all pretty disturbing.

I believe that the attitude of spirit that we must vis-a-vis this
phenomenon is an open one, that is to say that it doesn't consist in
denying a priori, as our ancestors of previous centuries did deny many
things that seem nowadays perfectly elementary.

Former Chilean Chief of Naval Operations: UFOs are Real

Santiago de Chile - The former Chilean Chief of Naval Operations,
Admiral Jorge Martinez declared that "UFOs are real". The ex-CNO made
the shocking statement during an interview with a Chilean television
network. The interview was conducted by journalist Rodrigo Ugarte from
Teletrece, in Chile. The retired admiral admitted that he personally
witnessed the sighting of two UFOs at sea.

According to Admiral Martinez, when he was a young lieutenant, he
personally saw a very luminous white object in front of his patrol
boat. When he took command of his first destroyer, then Captain
Martinez saw another similar object emerging from the water, creating a
strong interference with the navigation system and the ship's radar.

Guillermo Jimenez, another former Chilean officer claimed that the
sonar system onboard his ship detected two submarine-like objects that
caused similar malfunctions with shipboard electronics. "They displayed
the same size and metallic resonant characteristics that ordinary subs
typically show; however, these objects were too fast to be submarines",
said Jimenez.

Both Jimenez and Martinez described how the gyrocompass systems were
out of control. "The radar displays went completely blank and the gyro
was spinning very rapidly, as if a strong magnetic force was present",
said Admiral Martinez.

Some UFO investigators call this phenomenon "UUO" or unidentified
underwater objects. Upon learning about this special report, we
contacted the Chilean journalist that conducted the interviews. Rodrigo
Ugarte, the Teletrece interviewer told us that there were many other
officers that described similar events but did not want to go on the
air with their accounts. Nevertheless, this is the first time a former
Chief of Naval Operations reveals that these phenomena are real.  - - -
