The Suppression of UFO Technologies and Extraterrestrial Contact 367
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 authority is afraid that people may think of God knows what
kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: we have to avoid panic
by all means.
I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here
on this planet earth. It happened a few months ago in Florida. There I
saw with my own eyes a defined area of ground being consumed by
flames, with four indentations left by a flying object which had descended
in the middle of a field. Beings had left the craft (there were other
traces to prove this). They seemed to have studied topography, they had
collected soil samples and, eventually, they returned to where they had
come from, disappearing at enormous speed.... I happen to know that
the authorities did just about everything to keep this incident from the
press and TV, in fear of a panicky reaction from the public.
I immediately wrote to Cooper at Aerofoil Systems Inc., Cape
Canaveral, Florida, asking if there was any truth to these statements. "If
the whole story is a hoax," I said, "somebody ought to be sued." But there
was no reply from him, even when I sent reminders and a stamped
addressed envelope. I then wrote to Scott Carpenter, asking if he would
forward it to Cooper, and this he promised to do. To this day, I have heard
nothing.
In the same letter to Scott I asked for the complete story of the photograph
he took during his flight in Mercury 7 on 24 May 1962. According
to a commentator on BBC TV in 1973, Carpenter had been withdrawn
from duties as an astronaut for wasting time taking pictures of "sunrise."
I thought this was rather unlikely, especially since Scott's friend, Andre
Previn, told me that Scott had not been allowed in space again owing to a
slight heart murmur. The released photograph shows what some have
interpreted as a UFO, others as a lens flare, ice crystals, or the fabric and
aluminium balloon that was deployed at one stage. I wanted the facts.
When I reminded Scott of my request a year later, he replied that he
resented
. . . your continuing implication that I am lying and/or withholding truths
from you. Your blindly stubborn belief in Flying Saucers makes interesting
talk for awhile, but your inability to rationally consider any thought
that runs counter to yours makes further discussion of no interest—
indeed unpleasant in prospect—to me. I have sent your letter to Gordon
Cooper without comment other than a copy of this letter to you. Let's do
be friends, Tim, but let's talk about such things as music and SCUBA
diving where maybe both of us can learn something.
