are found and autopsied. They are small and human-like and cause
the deaths of some of the medical personnel who first handled them.
A propulsion unit is found that is highly advanced. The story goes
out on the newspaper wire: the army has recovered a crashed flying
saucer, while at the same time General Twining is issuing his "Air
Accident Report" in which no mention is made of the ET
hypothesis at all. Witnesses are interviewed and the public reaches a
conclusion: We have been visited by ET. And this is indeed a
plausible scenario that fits some of the facts alleged in the reports
on the incident.
But there are considerable technological problems with this
interpretation. If the crashed vehicles were even suspected of being
of ET origin, then why call in the German Paperclip scientists, and
then keep them in the loop long after the ET hypothesis has become
the official though top secret explanation It is far more likely that
they were consulted because some at a very high level in the US
military had seen this technology before. In fact, if it was German
saucer or some later development that crashed in New Mexico, if
the "leaf book" mentioned by the "White Hot Intelligence Estimate"
was "alien" in the sense of foreign but terrestrial, then the miltary's
alarm becomes paradoxically more understandable. In 1947 the war
was already two years over. Yet, here was a crashed vehicle with all
the signatures one came to recognize from Kammler's advanced
research projects. Where did it come from A cover-up on this view
would have been as necessary, if not much more so, from the
military's point of view as on the view that it was a crashed ET
vehicle. In this event, the strangeness of the recovered technology
would have suggested a plausible foundation for a deep layer of
disinformation planted in the reports themselves, to be disseminated
when weather balloons and monkey bodies were no longer capable
of holding back the ET flood. There would have been no records of
such an understanding, 67 it would have been arrived at in oral
discussions, and "worked into" the otherwise reliable information
contained in its classified reports.
67 In this respect, consider carefully the statements of Colonel Corso in the
epigrams that began this chapter.
