Phoenix Journal 106 - Four Winds 10

continued to send them details of Cathie’s findings and calculations for at least another year.
Bruce Cathie told me that it was Colonel Burnett who revealed that intensive UFO research was carried
out at Wright-Patterson AFB, referred to in Cathie’s second book:
The scientific laboratory there, set up for the purpose, was described as a complex of buildings
covering a large area and staffed by many of the world’s top scientists. Experimental
work was carried out twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. At one stage the official
(Colonel Burnett) asked me if I would consider a trip to America to visit the base. Naturally
I said I would—any time they care to put out an invitation. Perhaps the idea was vetoed in
the States, for I heard no more of this.
It is difficult to prove such a sensational allegation, but I have no reason to doubt Captain Cathie’s integrity.
Naturally, there is no reference to this in any of the DIA documents on him.
By 1967 Colonel Burnett had been replaced by Colonel Lewis Walker, who seems to have been less
impressed with Cathie’s ideas than his predecessor. But this did not prevent Walker from forwarding
Cathie’s material to the DIA at the Pentagon. An Intelligence Information Report dated 8 February 1968
states:
Captain Cathie is still employed as an aircraft F-27 Friendship pilot by National Airways
Corporation....His superiors know of his interest and activity in UFO’s and his forthcoming
book “Harmonic 33”. He has been checked for security reasons and no adverse reports are
known....He admits that many people consider him some kind of nut but he persists in his
theory. In January 1968 he came to my office and reported that four UFO’s had been
detected by the Auckland Air Traffic Control radarscope on ( ) January 1968 at 2335 hours
local time....Three objects were 15 miles apart in line, with the fourth object in line 30 miles
behind the three. Relative speed was extremely high. In addition, two UFO’s—disc-shaped—
appeared east of Auckland Airport on the same track as the first four. Captain Cathie was
asked if official reports were submitted on these sightings, and he said no, that Civil Aviation
personnel had been warned not to report any more of these observations. Captain
Cathie was advised to submit any additional information he might have....
Captain Cathie is a lean, wiry New Zealander, with an apparently above average knowledge
of mathematics... He is intensely sincere in his efforts...he is spending an enormous
amount of time and effort trying to prove his theory that an overall master plan exists by an
alien race—purpose not defined.
[H: Did you ones actually believe alien beings, in service for the one you call “Satan” or the
“Anti-God/Christ”, would actually be stupid enough to bring alien-appearing races among you?—
first you have to deceive the people and terrify them. You do this by projecting expectation of
horror and deceit in the place of Truth in given circumstances—but the rule is to then infiltrate
within your society and into all facets of your social infrastructure—beings who are just like
you—Shamir is the first one made public who resembles the original race of aliens. You ones
continue to go to the groups and organizations of infiltration to effort to find Truth—and they are
READY FOR YOU. Perhaps it is not Hatonn “WHO IS NOT TOO “BRIGHT”.]
By May 1968, however, Colonel Walker seems to have become fed up with Cathie. A report to the DIA
dated 1 May indicates that although Cathie was not considered a “nut”, on the last three occasions that he
called at the Defense Attachés office to discuss his latest findings, “These conversations were ignored.”
Cathie had complained that he had been put under surveillance and that in April he had been accosted by
