"Here
is the brief introduction. I'm using the alias Isaac,
and used to work in what was called the CARET program
in the 80's. During my time there, I worked with a lot
of the technology that is clearly at work in the recent
drone/strange craft sightings, most notably the "language"
and diagrams seen on the underside of each craft. What
follows is a lengthy letter about who I am, what I know,
and what these sightings are (probably) all about.
The
appearance of these photos has convinced me to release
at least some of the numerous photographs and photocopied
documents I still possess some 20 years later that can
explain a great deal about these sightings. On this site
you will find some of these. They are available as high
resolution scans that I am giving away free, PROVIDED
THEY ARE NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY AND ARE KEPT TOGETHER
ALONG WITH THIS WRITTEN MATERIAL.
I
am also trying to get in touch with the witnesses so far,
such as Chad, Rajman, Jenna, Ty, and the Lake Tahoe witness
(especially Chad). I have advice for them that may be
somewhat helpful in dealing with what they've seen and
what I would recommend they do with what they know. If
you are one of these witnesses, or can put me in touch
with them, please contact Coast to Coast AM and let them
know.
My
Experience with the CARET Program and Extra-terrestrial
Technology
Isaac, June 2007
This
letter is part of a package I've assembled for Coast to
Coast AM to distribute to its audience. It is a companion
to numerous document and photo scans and should not be
separated from them.
You
can call me Isaac, an alias I've chosen as a simple measure
of protection while I release what would be called tremendously
sensitive information even by todays standards. Sensitive
is not necessarily synonymous with dangerous,
though, which is why my conscience is clear as I offer
this material up for the public. My government has its
reasons for its continual secrecy, and I sympathize with
many of them, but the truth is that I'm getting old and
I'm not interested in meeting my maker one day with any
more baggage than necessary! Furthermore, I put a little
more faith in humanity than my former bosses do, and I
think that a release of at least some of this info could
help a lot more than it could hurt, especially in today's
world.
I
should be clear before I begin, as a final note: I am
not interested in making myself vulnerable to the consequences
of betraying the trust of my superiors and will not divulge
any personal information that could determine my identity.
However my intent is not to deceive, so information that
I think is too risky to share will be simply left out
rather than obfuscated in some way (aside from my alias,
which I freely admit is not my real name). I would estimate
that with the information contained in this letter, I
could be narrowed down to one of maybe 30-50 people at
best, so I feel reasonably secure.
Some
Explanation for the Recent Sightings
For
many years I've occasionally considered the release of
at least some of the material I possess, but the recent
wave of photos and sightings has prompted me to cut to
the chase and do so now.
I
should first be clear that I'm not directly familiar with
any of the crafts seen in the photos in their entirety.
I've never seen them in a hangar or worked on them myself
or seen aliens zipping around in them. However, I have
worked with and seen many of the parts visible in these
crafts, some of which can be seen in the Q3-85 Inventory
Review scan found at the top of this page. More importantly
though, I'm very familiar with the language
on their undersides seen clearly in photos by Chad and
Rajman, and in another form in the Big Basin photos.
One
question I can answer for sure is why they're suddenly
here. These crafts have probably existed in their current
form for decades, and I can say for sure that the technology
behind them has existed for decades before that. The language,
in fact, (I'll explain shortly why I keep putting that
in quotes) was the subject of my work in years past. I'll
cover that as well.
The
reason they're suddenly visible, however, is another matter
entirely. These crafts, assuming they're anything like
the hardware I worked with in the 80's (assuming they're
better, in fact), are equipped with technology that enables
invisibility. That ability can be controlled both on board
the craft, and remotely. However, what's important in
this case is that this invisibility can also be disrupted
by other technology. Think of it like radar jamming. I
would bet my life savings (since I know this has happened
before) that these craft are becoming visible and then
returning to invisibility arbitrarily, probably unintentionally,
and undoubtedly for only short periods, due to the activity
of a kind of disrupting technology being set off elsewhere,
but nearby. I'm especially sure of this in the case of
the Big Basin sightings, were the witnesses themselves
reported seeing the craft just appear and disappear. This
is especially likely because of the way the witness described
one of the appearances being only a momentary flicker,
which is consistent with the unintentional, intermittent
triggering of such a device.
It's
no surprise that these sightings are all taking place
in California, and especially the Saratoga/South Bay area.
Not far from Saratoga is Mountain View/Sunnyvale, home
to Moffett Field and the NASA Ames Research center. Again,
I'd be willing to bet just about anything that the device
capable of hijacking the cloaking of these nearby craft
was inadvertently triggered, probably during some kind
of experiment, at the exact moment they were being seen.
Miles away, in Big Basin, the witnesses were in the right
place at the right time and saw the results of this disruption
with their own eyes. God knows what else was suddenly
appearing in the skies at that moment, and who else may
have seen it. I've had some direct contact with this device,
or at least a device capable of the same thing, and this
kind of mistake is not unprecedented. I am personally
aware of at least one other incident in which this kind
of technology was accidentally set off, resulting in the
sudden visibility of normally invisible things. The only
difference is that these days, cameras are a lot more
common!
The
technology itself isn't ours, or at least it wasn't in
the 80's. Much like the technology in these crafts themselves,
the device capable of remotely hijacking a vehicle's clacking
comes from a non-human source too. Why we were given this
technology has never been clear to me, but it's responsible
for a lot. Our having access to this kind of device, along
with our occasionally haphazard experimentation on them,
has lead to everything from cloaking malfunctions like
this to full-blown crashes. I can assure you that most
(and in my opinion all) incidents of UFO crashes or that
kind of thing had more to do with our meddling with extremely
powerful technology at an inopportune time than it did
mechanical failure on their part. Trust me, those things
don't fail unless something even more powerful than them
makes them fail (intentionally or not). Think of it like
a stray bullet. You can be hit by one at any time, without
warning, and even the shooter didn't intent to hit you.
I can assure you heads are rolling over this as well.
If anyone notices a brilliant but sloppy physicist patrolling
the streets of Baghdad in the next couple weeks, I'd be
willing to guess how he got there. (I kid, of course,
as I certainly hope that hasn't actually happened in this
case)
I'd
now like to explain how it is that I know this.
The
CARET Program
My
story begins the same as it did for many of my co-workers,
with graduate and post-graduate work at university in
electrical engineering. And I had always been interested
in computer science, which was a very new field at the
time, and my interest piqued with my first exposure to
a Tixo during grad school. In the years following school,
I took a scenic route through the tech industry and worked
for the kinds of companies you would expect, until I was
offered a job at the Department of Defense and things
took a very different turn.
My
time at the DoD was mostly uneventful but I was there
for quite a while. I apparently proved myself to be reasonably
intelligent and loyal. By 1984 these qualities along with
my technical background made me a likely candidate for
a new program they were recruiting for called CARET.
Before
I explain what CARET was I should back up a little. By
1984, Silicon Valley had been a juggernaut of technology
for decades. In the less than 40 years since the appearance
of Shockleys transistor this part of the world had
already produced a multi billion dollar computer industry
and made technological strides that were unprecedented
in other fields, from hypertext and online collaboration
in '68 to the Alto in '73.
Private
industry in Silicon Valley was responsible for some of
the most incredible technological leaps in history and
this fact did not go unnoticed by the US government and
military. I dont claim to have any special knowledge
about Roswell or any of the other alleged early UFO events,
but I do know that whatever the exact origin, the military
was hard at work trying to understand and use the extra-terrestrial
artifacts it had in its possession. While there had been
a great deal of progress overall, things were not moving
as quickly as some would have liked. So, in 1984, the
CARET program was created with the aim of harnessing the
abilities of private industry in silicon valley and applying
it to the ongoing task of understanding extra-terrestrial
technology.
One
of the best examples of the power of the tech sector was
Xerox PARC, a research center in Palo Alto, CA. XPARC
was responsible for some of the major milestones in the
history of computing. While I never had the privilege
of working there myself I did know many of the people
who did and I can say that they were among the brightest
engineers I ever knew.
XPARC
served as one of the models for the CARET programs
first incarnation, a facility called the Palo Alto CARET
Laboratory (PACL, lovingly pronounced packle
during my time there). This was where I worked, along
with numerous other civilians, under the auspices of military
brass who were eager to find out how the tech sector made
so much progress so quickly. My time at the DoD was a
major factor behind why I was chosen, and in fact about
30+ others who were hired around the same time had also
been at the Department about as long, but this was not
the case for everyone. A couple of my co-workers were
plucked right from places like IBM and, at least two of
them came from XPARC itself. My DoD experience did make
me more eligable for positions of management, however,
which is how I have so much of this material in my possession
to begin with.
So
in other words, civilians like myself who had at--at most--some
decent experience working for the DoD but no actual military
training or involvement, were suddenly finding ourselves
in the same room as highly classified extra-terrestrial
technology. Of course they spent about 2 months briefing
us all before we saw or did anything, and did their best
to convince us that if we ever leaked a single detail
about what we were being told, theyd do everything
short of digging up our ancestors and putting a few slugs
in them too just for good measure. It seemed like there
was an armed guard in every corner of every room. Id
worked under some pretty hefty NDAs in my time but this
was so far out of my depth I didnt think I was going
to last 2 weeks in an environment like that. But amazingly
things got off to a good start. They wanted us, plain
and simple, and our industry had shown itself to be so
good at what it did that they were just about ready to
give us carte blanche.
Of
course, nothing with the military is ever that simple,
and as is often the case they wanted to have their cake
and eat it too. What I mean by this is that despite their
interest in picking our brains and learning whatever they
could from our way of doing things, they still wanted
to do it their way often enough to frustrate us.
At
this point I'm going to gloss over the emotional side
of this experience, because this letter isn't intended
to be a memoir, but I will say that there's almost no
way to describe the impact this kind of revelation has
on your mind. There are very few moments in life in which
your entire world view is turned forever upside down,
but this was one of them. I still remember that turning
point during the briefing when I realized what he'd just
told us, and that I hadn't heard him wrong, and that it
wasn't some kind of joke. In retrospect the whole thing
feels like it was in slow motion, from that slight pause
he took just before the term extra-terrestrial
came out for the first time, to the way the room itself
seemed to go off kilter as we collectively tried to grasp
what was being said. My reflex kept jumping back and forth
between trying to look at the speaker, to understand him
better, and looking at everyone else around me, to make
sure I wasn't the only one that was hearing this. At the
risk of sounding melodramatic, it's a lot like a child
learning his parents are divorcing. I never experienced
that myself, but a very close friend of mine did when
were boys, and he confided in me a great deal about what
the experience felt like. A lot of what he said would
aptly describe what I was feeling in that room. Here was
a trusted authority figure telling you something that
you just don't feel ready for, and putting a burden on
your mind that you don't necessarily want to carry. The
moment that first word comes out, all you can think about
it is what it was like only seconds ago, and knowing that
life is never going to be as simple as it was then. After
all that time at the DoD, I thought I at least had some
idea of what was going on in the world, but I'd never
heard so much as a peep about this. Maybe one day I'll
write more on this aspect, because it's the kind of thing
I really would like to get off my chest, but for now I'll
digress.
Unlike
traditional research in this area, we werent working
on new toys for the air force. For numerous reasons, the
CARET people decided to aim its efforts at commercial
applications rather than military ones. They basically
wanted us to turn these artifacts into something they
could patent and sell. One of CARETs most appealing
promises was the revenue generated by these product-ready
technologies, which could be funneled right back into
black projects. Working with a commercial application
in mind was also yet another way to keep us in a familiar
mind state. Developing technology for the military is
very different than doing so for the commercial sector,
and not having to worry about the difference was another
way that CARET was very much like private industry.
CARET
shined in the way it let us work the way we were used
to working. They wanted to recreate as much of the environment
we were used to as they could without compromising issues
like security. That meant we got free reign to set up
our own workflow, internal management structure, style
manuals, documentation, and the like. They wanted this
to look and feel like private industry, not the military.
They knew that was how to get the best work out of us,
and they were right.
But
things didnt go as smoothly when it came to matters
like access to classified information. They were exposing
what is probably their single biggest secret to a group
of people who had never even been through basic training
and it was obvious that the gravity of this decision was
never far from their minds. We started the program with
a small set of extra-terrestrial artifacts along with
fairly elaborate briefings on each as well as access to
a modest amount of what research had already been completed.
It wasnt long before we realized we needed more
though, and getting them to provide even the smallest
amount of new material was like pulling teeth. CARET stood
for Commercial Applications Research for Extra-terrestrial
Technology, but we often joked that it should have
stood for Civilians Are Rarely Ever Trusted.
PACL
was located in Palo Alto, but unlike XPARC, it wasnt
at the end of a long road in the middle of a big complex
surrounded by rolling hills and trees. PACL was hidden
in an office complex owned entirely by the military but
made to look like an unassuming tech company. From the
street, all you could see was what appeared to be a normal
parking lot with a gate and a guard booth, and a 1-story
building inside with a fictitious name and logo. What
wasnt visible from the street was that behind the
very first set of doors was enough armed guards to invade
Poland, and 5 additional underground stories. They wanted
to be as close as possible to the kinds of people they
were looking to hire and be able to bring them in with
a minimum of fuss.
Inside,
we had everything we needed. State of the art hardware
and a staff of over 200 computer scientists, electrical
engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists and mathematicians.
Most of us were civilians, as Ive said, but some
were military, and a few of them had been working on this
technology already. Of course, you were never far from
the barrel of a machine gun, even inside the labs themselves
(something many of us never got used to), and bi-weekly
tours were made by military brass to ensure that not a
single detail was out of line. Most of us underwent extensive
searches on our way into and out of the building. There
it was, probably the biggest secret in the world, in a
bunch of parts spread out on laboratory tables in the
middle of Palo Alto so you can imagine their concern.
One
downside to CARET was that it wasn't as well-connected
as other operations undoubtedly were. I never got to see
any actual extra-terrestrials (not even photos), and in
fact never even saw one of their compete vehicles. 99%
of what I saw was related to the work at hand, all of
which was conducted within a very narrow context on individual
artifacts only. The remaining 1% came from people I met
through the program, many of which working more closely
with the good stuff or had in the past.
In
fact, what was especially amusing about the whole affair
was the way that our military management almost tried
to act as if the technology we were essentially reverse
engineering wasn't extra-terrestrial at all. Aside from
the word extra-terrestrial itself, we rarely
heard any other terms like alien or UFO
or outer space or anything. Those aspects
were only mentioned briefly when absolutely necessary
to explain something. In many cases it was necessary to
differentiate between the different races and their respective
technology, and they didn't even use the word races.
They were referred to simply as different sources.
The
Technology
A
lot of the technology we worked on was what you would
expect, namely antigravity. Most of the researchers on
the staff with backgrounds in propulsion and rocketry
were military men, but the technology we were dealing
with was so out of this world that it didnt really
matter all that much what your background was because
none of it applied. All we could hope to do was use the
vocabulary of our respective fields as a way to model
the extremely bizarre new concepts we were very slowly
beginning to understand as best we could. A rocket engineer
doesnt usually rub elbows much with a computer scientist,
but inside PACL, we were all equally mystified and were
ready to entertain any and all ideas.
The
physicists made the most headway initially because out
of all of our skills, theirs overlapped the most with
the concepts behind this technology (although that isnt
saying much!) Once they got the ball rolling though, we
began to find that many of the concepts found in computer
science were applicable as well, albeit in very vague
ways. While I didnt do a lot of work with the antigrav
hardware myself, I was occasionally involved in the assessment
of how that technology was meant to interface with its
user.
The
antigrav was amazing, of course, as were the advances
we were making with materials engineering and so on. But
what interested me most then, and still amazes me most
to this day, was something completely unrelated. In fact,
it was this technology that immediately jumped out at
me when I saw the Chad and Rajman photos, and even moreso
in the Big Basin photos.
The
"Language"
I
put the word Language in quotes because calling what I
am about to describe a language is a misnomer,
although it is an easy mistake to make.
Their
hardware wasnt operated in quite the same way as
ours. In our technology, even today, we have a combination
of hardware and software running almost everything on
the planet. Software is more abstract than hardware, but
ultimately it needs hardware to run it. In other words,
theres no way to write a computer program on a piece
of paper, set that piece of paper on a table or something,
and expect it to actually do something. The most powerful
code in the world still doesnt actually do anything
until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates
its commands into actions.
But
their technology is different. It really did operate like
the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner
of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that
could quite literally execute itself, at least in the
presence of a very specific type of field. The language,
a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols
(which does admittedly very much resemble a written language)
along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together
to form diagrams that are themselves functional. Once
they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made
of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain
type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired
tasks. It really did seem like magic to us, even after
we began to understand the principles behind it.
I
worked with these symbols more than anything during my
time at PACL, and recognized them the moment I saw them
in the photos. They appear in a very simple form on Chads
craft, but appear in the more complex diagram form on
the underside of the Big Basin craft as well. Both are
unmistakable, even at the small size of the Big Basin
photos. An example of a diagram in the style of the Big
Basin craft is included with this in a series of scanned
pages from the [mistitled] "Linguistic Analysis Primer".
We needed a copy of that diagram to be utterly precise,
and it took about a month for a team of six to copy that
diagram into our drafting program!
Explaining
everything I learned about this technology would fill
up several volumes, but I will do my best to explain at
least some of the concepts as long as I am taking the
time to write all this down.
First
of all, you wouldn't open up their hardware to find a
CPU here, and a data bus there, and some kind of memory
over there. Their hardware appeared to be perfectly solid
and consistent in terms of material from one side to the
other. Like a rock or a hunk of metal. But upon [much]
closer inspection, we began to learn that it was actually
one big holographic computational substrate - each "computational
element" (essentially individual particles) can function
independently, but are designed to function together in
tremendously large clusters. I say its holographic because
you can divide it up into the smallest chunks you want
and still find a scaled-down but complete representation
of the whole system. They produce a nonlinear computational
output when grouped. So 4 elements working together is
actually more than 4 times more powerful than 1. Most
of the internal "matter" in their crafts (usually
everything but the outermost housing) is actually this
substrate and can contribute to computation at any time
and in any state. The shape of these "chunks"
of substrate also had a profound effect on its functionality,
and often served as a "shortcut" to achieve
a goal that might otherwise be more complex.
So
back to the language. The language is actually a "functional
blueprint". The forms of the shapes, symbols and
arrangements thereof is itself functional. What makes
it all especially difficult to grasp is that every element
of each "diagram" is dependant on and related
to every other element, which means no single detail can
be created, removed or modified independently. Humans
like written language because each element of the language
can be understood on its own, and from this, complex expressions
can be built. However, their "language" is entirely
context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could
mean as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite
literally, contain the entire human genome or a galaxy
star map in another. The ability for a single, small symbol
to contain, not just represent, tremendous amounts of
data is another counter-intuitive aspect of this concept.
We quickly realized that even working in groups of 10
or more on the simplest of diagrams, we found it virtually
impossible to get anything done. As each new feature was
added, the complexity of the diagram exponentially grew
to unmanageable proportions. For this reason we began
to develop computer-based systems to manage these details
and achieved some success, although again we found that
a threshold was quickly reached beyond which even the
supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up. Word
was that the extra-terrestrials could design these diagrams
as quickly and easily as a human programmer could write
a Fortran program. It's humbling to think that even a
network of supercomputers wasn't able to duplicate what
they could do in their own heads. Our entire system of
language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to
symbols. Their technology, however, somehow merges the
symbol and the meaning, so a subjective audience is not
needed. You can put whatever meaning you want on the symbols,
but their behavior and functionality will not change,
any more than a transistor will function differently if
you give it another name.
Here's
an example of how complex the process is. Imagine I ask
you to incrementally add random words to a list such that
no two words use any of the same letters, and you must
perform this exercise entirely in your head, so you can't
rely on a computer or even a pen and paper. If the first
in the list was, say, "fox", the second item
excludes all words with the letters F, O and X. If the
next word you choose is "tree", then the third
word in the list can't have the letters F, O, X, T, R,
or E in it. As you can imagine, coming up with even a
third word might start to get just a bit tricky, especially
since you can't easily visualize the excluded letters
by writing down the words. By the time you get to the
fourth, fifth and sixth words, the problem has spiraled
out of control. Now imagine trying to add the billionth
word to the list (imagine also that we're working with
an infinite alphabet so you don't run out of letters)
and you can imagine how difficult it is for even a computer
to keep up. Needless to say, writing this kind of thing
"by hand" is orders of magnitude beyond the
capabilities of the brain.
My
background lent itself well to this kind of work though.
I'd spent years writing code and designing both analog
and digital circuits, a process that at least visually
resembled these diagrams in some way. I also had a personal
affinity for combinatorics, which served me well as I
helped with the design of software running on supercomputers
that could juggle the often trillions of rules necessary
to create a valid diagram of any reasonable complexity.
This overlapped quite a bit with compiler theory as well,
a subject I always found fascinating, and in particular
compiler optimization, a field that wasn't half of what
it is today back then. A running joke among the linguistics
team was that Big-O notation couldn't adequately describe
the scale of the task, so we'd substitute other words
for "big". By the time I left I remember the
consensus was "Astronomical-O" finally did it
justice.
Like
I said, I could go on for hours about this subject, and
would love to write at least an introductory book on the
subject if it wasn't still completely classified, but
that's not the point of this letter so I'll try to get
back on track.
The
last thing I'd like to discuss is how I got copies of
this material, what else I have in my possession, and
what I plan to do with it in the future.
My
Collection
I
worked at PACL from 1984 to 1987, by which time I was
utterly burned out. The sheer volume of details to keep
in mind while working with the diagrams was enough to
challenge anyone's sanity, and I was really at the end
of my rope with the military's attitude towards our need
to know. Our ability to get work done was constantly
hampered by their reluctance to provide us with the necessary
information, and I was tired of bureaucracy getting in
the way of research and development. I left somewhere
in the middle of a 3-month bell curve in which about a
quarter of the entire PACL staff left for similar reasons.
I
was also starting to disagree with the direction the leadership
wanted to take as far as the subject of extra-terrestrials
went. I always felt that at least some form of disclosure
would be beneficial, but as a lowly CARET engineer I wasn't
exactly in the position to call shots. The truth is, our
management didn't even want us discussing non-technical
aspects of this subject (such as ethical or philosophical
issues), even among ourselves, as they felt it was enough
of a breach of security to let civilians like us anywhere
near this kind of thing in the first place.
So,
about 3 months before I resigned (which was about 8 months
before I was really out, since you don't just walk out
of a job like that with a 2 week notice). I decided to
start taking advantage of my position. As I mentioned
earlier, my DoD experience got me into an internal management
role sooner than some of my colleagues, and after about
a year of that kind of status, the outgoing searches each
night became slightly less rigorous. Normally, we were
to empty out any containers, bags or briefcases, then
remove our shirt and shoes and submit to a kind of frisking.
Work was never allowed to go home with you, no matter
who you were. For me, though, the briefcase search was
eventually enough.
Even
before I actually decided to do it, I was sure that I
would be able to sneak certain materials out with me.
I wanted to do this because I knew the day would come
when I would want to write something like this, and I
knew I'd regret it until the day I died if I didn't at
least leave the possibility open to do so. So I started
photocopying documents and reports by the dozen. I'd then
put the papers under my shirt around my lower back, tucked
enough into my belt to ensure they wouldn't fall out.
I could do this in any one of a few short, windowless
hallways on some of the lower floors, which were among
the few places that didn't have an armged guard watching
my every move. I'd walk in one end with a stack of papers
large enough that when I came out the other end with some
of them in my shirt, there wouldn't be a visible difference
in what I was holding. You absolutely cannot be too careful
if you're going to pull a stunt like this. As long as
I walked carefully they wouldn't make a crinkling noise.
In fact, the more papers I took, the less noise they made,
since they weren't as flimsy that way. I'd often take
upwards of 10-20 pages at once. By the time I was done,
I'd made out with hundreds of photocopies, as well as
a few originals and a large collection of original photographs.
With
this initial letter I have attached high resolution scans
of the following:
A page from an inventory review with a photo that appears
to depict one of the parts found in the Rajman sighting
and parts very similar to the Big Basin craft
The first 9 pages of one of our quarterly research reports
Scans of the original photographs used in that report,
since the photocopies obscure most of the details
5 pages from a report on our ongoing analysis of the language
(inappropriately titled linguistic analysis),
depicting the kind of diagram just barely visible on the
underside of the Big Basin craft
This
material is the most relevant and explanatory I could
find on short notice. Now that these are up, IF I decide
to release more in the future, I'll be able to take my
time and better search this rather large collection of
mine that I've sadly never organized. I'm not sure what
I'll be doing with the rest of the collection in the future.
I suppose I'll wait and see how this all plays out, and
then play it by ear. There are certainly risks involved
in what I'm doing, and if I were to actually be identified
and caught, there could be rather serious consequences.
However, I've taken the proper steps to ensure a reasonable
level of anonymity and am quite secure in the fact that
the information I've so far provided is by no means unique
among many of the CARET participants.
Besides,
part of me has always suspected that the government relies
on the occasional leak like this, and actually wants them
to happen, because it contributes to a steady, slow-paced
path towards revealing the truth of this matter.
Since
Leaving CARET
Like
I said, I left PACL in '87, but have kept in touch with
a great many of my friends and coworkers from those days.
Most of us are retired by now, except of course for those
of us that went on to get teaching jobs, but a few of
us still hear things through the grapevine.
As
for CARET itself, I'm not sure what's become of it. Whether
it's still known by the same name, I'm quite sure it's
still active in some capacity, although who knows where.
I heard from a number of people that PACL closed up shop
a few years after I left, but I've still yet to get a
clear answer on why exactly that happened. But I'm sure
the kind of work we did there is still going strong. I've
heard from a lot of friends that there are multiple sites
like PACL in Sunnyvale and Mountain View, also disguised
to look like unremarkable office space. But this is all
second-hand information so you can make of it what you
will.
Around
2002 or so I came across Coast to Coast AM and have been
hooked ever since. I admit, I don't take most of the show's
content as anything more than entertainment, but there
have been occasions when I could be sure a guest was clearly
speaking from experience or a well-informed source. For
me, there's just something very surreal about hearing
all this speculation and so-called inside information
about UFOs and the like, but being personally able to
verify at least some of it as being true or false. It's
also a nightly reminder of how hectic things were in those
days, which helps me enjoy my retirement all the more.
Knowing I'm not part of that crazy world anymore really
is something I enjoy on a daily basis, as much as I miss
some of it.
Conclusion
What
I've shared so far is only a very small portion of what
I have, and what I know. Despite the very sheltered and
insulated atmosphere within CARET, I did ultimately learn
a great deal from various colleagues, and some of what
I learned is truly incredible. I'd also like to say that
for what it's worth, during my time there I never heard
anything about invasions, or abductions, or many of the
more frightening topics that often pop up on Coast to
Coast AM. That's not to say that none of it is true, but
in my time working alongside some of the most well-connected
people in this field, it never came up. So at the very
least I can say my intent is not to scare anyone. My view
on the extra-terrestrial situation is very much a positive,
albiet still highly secretive one.
One
thing I can definitely say is that if they wanted us gone,
we would have been gone a very, very long time ago, and
we wouldn't even have seen it coming. Throw out your ideas
about a space war or anything silly like that. We'd be
capable of fighting back against them about as much as
ants could fight back against a stampede of buffalo. But
that's OK. We're the primitive race, they're the advanced
races, and that's just the way it is. The other advanced
races let them live through their primitive years back
in their day, and there's no reason to think it will be
any different for us. They aren't in the market for a
new planet, and even if they were, there are way too many
planets out there for them to care about ours enough to
take it by force.
To
reiterate my take on the recent sightings, I'd guess that
experimentation done in the last couple months on a device
that, among other things, is capable of interfering with
various crafts onboard invisibility has resulted in a
sudden wave of sightings. It may not explain all of the
recent events, but like I said, I'd bet my life that's
exactly what happened at Big Basin at least, and it's
probably related in some way to the Chad, Rajman and Tahoe
sightings. So, despite all the recent fanfare over this,
I'd say this doesn't mean much. Most importantly, they
aren't suddenly here. They've been here for
a long time, but just happened to turn unintentionally
visible for brief periods recently.
Lastly,
there are so many people selling books, and DVDs, and
doing lectures, and all that, that I would like to reiterate
the fact that I am not here to sell anything. The material
I'm sharing is free to distribute provided it's all kept
intact and unmodified, and this letter is included. I
tend to question the motives of anyone charging money
for their information, and will assure you that I will
never do such a thing. And in the future, just to cover
all the bases, anyone claiming to be me who's selling
a DVD or book is most certainly not going to be me.
Any
future releases from me will come from the email address
I've used to contact Coast to Coast AM, and will be sent
to them only. I'd like to make this clear as well to ensure
that people can be sure that any future information comes
from the same source, although I must be clear: at this
time I do not have any future plans for additional information.
Time will tell how long I will maintain this policy, but
do not expect anything soon. I'd really like to let this
information settle for a while and see how
it goes. If I find out I'm getting an IRS audit tomorrow,
then maybe this wasn't too smart. Until then, I'm going
to take it slow. I hope this information has been helpful."
