00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,480
described to the public as a vacation on

8
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,719
february 20th he disappeared from public

9
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:56,800
view and rumors spread to the point that

10
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:59,120
the headline president eisenhower died

11
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:00,719
tonight of a heart attack in palm

12
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,199
springs appeared on the associated press

13
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,680
newswire the story was removed two

14
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,680
minutes later and the ap reported that

15
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,240
he was still alive ufologists have

16
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,560
speculated on where he was that day and

17
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,799
some have come to the conclusion that

18
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,040
eisenhower went to murak air force base

19
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:19,520
for a secret meeting with alien visitors

20
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,280

of aliens referred to as ethereans and

their craft is as follows during my two

39
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,040
days visit i saw five separate and

40
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:09,200
distinct types of aircraft being studied

41
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:11,360
and handled by our air force officials

the ethereans i have no words to express

44
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:17,920
my reactions and the reference to

45
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:20,959
eisenhower is this president eisenhower

46
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:23,040
as you may already know was spirited

47
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,040
over to murak one night during his visit

48
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,599
to palm springs recently lane commented

49
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,239
on the letter in 1958 with this the

50
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,080
matter of an alleged visit by president

51
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,319
eisenhower to muric base is clearly

52
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:36,560
reported simply as a personal inference

53
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,959
in belief in fact the probert controls

54
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,400
have said that the president sent a

55
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,640
personal representative but did not go

56
00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:44,560
to the base himself there's much

57
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:46,160
guesswork also where the writer of the

58
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:47,920
letter quoted talks about future

59
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,879
policies public reaction etc is not a

60
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,800
profit and i quote him only for the

61
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,879
interest of the murak affair concerning

62
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:57,040
which i still get many inquiries the

63
00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:59,599
probert controls were the entities bsra

64
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:01,840
member mark probert channeled as a trans

65
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:03,680
medium he is referred to as the

66
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:06,400
telegnostic from san diego on the bsrf

67
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,440
website

68
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,360
michael sala explored the matter in a

69
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:10,959
research study published on the

70
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,800
exopolitics website on january 28 2004.

71
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,720
in his abstract he tells the story of

72
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,640
eisenhower's disappearance and how

73
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,640
reporters were told that eisenhower had

74
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,480
gone off to have emergency dental

75
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,640
treatment sela then tells the reader

76
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,040
that his paper will explore evidence of

77
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,440
first contact with nordic et's an

78
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,519
agreement made with them and a series of

79
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,519
meetings leading up to a contract being

80
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:35,120
signed with the greys

81
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,959
sallam brings up one fact that has

82
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,360
helped fuel the alien meeting theory and

83
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,599
that is that eisenhower had just gone on

84
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,599
a quail hunting vacation in georgia a

85
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,080
week before he credits the letter from

86
00:03:49,710 --> 00:03:48,560
light as the first public source

87
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:49,720
alleging a meeting with

88
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:51,920
extraterrestrials but he doesn't include

89
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:54,319
lane's comment he cites an essay by

90
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,000
william cooper as his source for the

91
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,080
letter and includes cooper in his list

92
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,480
of whistleblowers supporting the story

93
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,720
the others are john lear robert dean and

94
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,080
phil schneider

95
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,920
what these men have in common is that

96
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:07,360
they use their backgrounds in the

97
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,280
military and intelligence communities

98
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,280
both real and invented to give

99
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,920
credibility to outlandish tales of alien

100
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,079
interactions with government entities

101
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:18,959
cooper's essay is a vivid example also

102
00:04:24,189 --> 00:04:22,400
in 2004 saleh published exopolitics

103
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,199
political implications of the

104
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,560
extraterrestrial presence and peter

105
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,479
carlson of the washington post

106
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,320
interviewed salah about the eisenhower

107
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:32,479
and alien story and looked into it

108
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,360
himself after presenting salad's version

109
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,080
carlson explores the dentist theory

110
00:04:43,150 --> 00:04:40,160
carlson talked with eisenhower library

111
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,160
archivist herv pancratz a specialist in

112
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,600
transportation-related archival matters

113
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:47,680
because ufos are considered by some to

114
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,080
be transportation pancratz became the

115
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:52,160
person who dealt with the many questions

116
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,240
about the alien meeting as the story

117
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:56,080
entered the popular imagination in the

118
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,960
1980s and 90s pancratz believes the

119
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,120
dennis theory and cites an article by

120
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,680
dental historian james mixon a history

121
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:06,000
of dwight d eisenhower's oral health

122
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:08,960
published in the november 1995 issue of

123
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,280
the bulletin of the history of dentistry

124
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,520
using the u.s surgeon general's records

125
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:15,680
of eisenhower's oral history mixon

126
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,160
determined that on the night in question

127
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,160
eisenhower chipped the cap on his upper

128
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,639
right central incisor the cap was

129
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:25,039
reportedly repaired by dr francis a

130
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,479
purcell purcell died in 1974 and no

131
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:30,960
record of the repair remains so belief

132
00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:32,800
that the dental emergency was a cover

133
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:35,199
story remains the story hit the news

134
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,320
again in 2010 when retired new hampshire

135
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,720
state representative henry mcelroy

136
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,639
posted a youtube video where he claims

137
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:44,400
to have seen a document that supports

138
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,199
the alien theory he says this the

139
00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:49,440
document i saw was an official brief to

140
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,759
president eisenhower to the best of my

141
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,080
memory viagra's sans ordinance this

142
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,240
brief was pervaded with a sense of hope

143
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:58,319
and it informed president eisenhower of

144
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,840
the continued presence of

145
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,680
extraterrestrial beings here in the

146
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,840
united states of america the brief

147
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:05,280
seemed to indicate that a meeting

148
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:06,880
between the president and some of these

149
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:08,880
visitors could be arranged as

150
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,280
appropriate if desired and why would a

151
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:13,360
state representative have access to what

152
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,600
would likely be a classified document

153
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,000
that originated in a federal office

154
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,240
mcelroy claims that as a member of the

155
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,400
state federal relations and veterans

156
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:24,400
affairs committee it was important that

157
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,560
he be updated on a large number of

158
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,479
topics related to the affairs of our

159
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,120
people and our nation this tale like

160
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:34,000
many ufo tales will likely be repeatedly

161
00:06:40,189 --> 00:06:37,360
resurrected and retold and like many ufo

162
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:40,199
tales this one has been added to around

163
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,520
2007 researcher art campbell claimed

164
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,520
that a witness identified only by a

165
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,520
pseudonym wrote him a seven seven-page

166
00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:49,840
letter saying that eisenhower landed at

167
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:51,919
holloman air force base and met with

168
00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:54,319
aliens there during his hunting vacation

169
00:07:12,920 --> 00:06:56,240
in georgia hmm
