"Insider Account of Alien Contact and Government Cover-up."
One of the most interesting insider accounts yet published
about government alien projects.
Dan Sherman claims he was trained by the National
Security Agency to psychically
communicate with aliens. As far out as this scenario sounds,
it comes across in this book as quite reasonable.
Sherman sticks to the facts of his experience:
While in the Air Force, he was assigned to a routine training
program at the NSA's Fort Meade headquarters.
As soon as he arrived, he was told that he would take
part in a second, more secret training program.
He would learn to "activate" an ability already within him:
the power to communicate with aliens.
The story is marked by great restraint and little speculation,
and there seem to be plenty of leads to check out.
If you like puzzles, this book is highly recommended.

From the Book Cover
Dan Sherman spent almost three years as an intuitive communicator
while serving in the USAF. In ABOVE BLACK he tells of his training,
things he learned from his alien contacts and the events that lead him
to seek a discharge from the United States Air Force, at all costs.
By coming forward, he hopes his story will encourage other insiders to
do likewise. Sherman says, "The information I have come forward with
is important in the sense that someone has to start talking... someone
from the inside. Preserve Destiny is only one of many alien projects
that I suspect the US government, as well as other governments, are
heavily involved with. In releasing to the public what I know, I have
tried to take a stand against the keepers of the grey flame within the
sacred halls of the NSA, CIA, USAF, NRO and other agencies. Hopefully
this will open the door for other insiders to peer through and feel
more comfortable stepping out into the light of day. If not, 'they'
will continue to suppress the most fascinating aspects of our own
existence... that others exist!"
Serving over 12 years in the United States Air Force, Dan Sherman has
been recognized for heroism and has been decorated with the AF
Commendation Medal and the AF Achievment Medal with two oakleaf
clusters. He has also received the AF Outstanding Unit Award with
three oakleaf clusters as well as being honored for service in the
Persian Gulf war. He is married with no children.
"To put it bluntly, Sergeant Sherman, in 1960 your mother was visited
by what the world commonly refers to as aliens."
"Sir?" was the only thing I could manage to say.
"Random tests were being conducted on the general populace at the time
to determine compatibility."
I was in a state of utter disbelief when I asked in a weak, crackling
voice, "Compatibility?"
"Yes. Actually, it's a long story. I'll try to explain as much as I
can but there is much that I don't even know. In a nutshell, you've
been given an interesting ability through what we call genetic
management."
My mother, genetic management, compatibility, long story. My mind was
reeling with all this new information. I came here expecting to find
out about a deployment for an exercise, or perhaps that I had
incorrectly filled out my travel voucher, but not this!

On July 24, I published an interview with Dan ("D.L") Sherman, who
claims to have worked with a secret NSA program receiving
communications from alien entities.
Readers were invited to send further questions to Sherman, with a cc
to me, and I would put them together in another document.
Here is the new compendium of questions and answers.
- *Desert Rat Review of Sherman's Book+
- Review - By Glenn Campbell - Published: 11/6/97 - Source: Desert Rat #38 (Web Zine) <12/6/97 #13>
"Sherman's book seems quite original. It
offers a new synthesis of popular themes, including alien abduction,
genetic manipulation, government cover-up, alien-government collusion
and the growth categories of remote viewing and psychokinesis.
Regardless of its veracity, we expect this book to have a significant impact
on the direction of the UFO movement."
