Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact - Above Top Secret

John McCoy, who coauthored with Williamson the book UFOs Confidential, operated the EssenePress. He introduced the idea that the Jewish banker conspiracy was involved in the UFO problem.The Stanford brothers were living in the same Texas town (Corpus Christi) as McCoy was, and inthe mid-1950s they produced a series of contact books, one of which listed McCoy as coauthor.The Stanford's book, Look Up!, acknowledges "all those who helped in preparation of this book andthe people of other planets who made the contacts described." Ray Stanford states that in December1954 he recieved "a very distinct telepathic message from the space people," and he adds,During 1955 I also had a personal contact with two space men... the contacts were not veryfrequent during 1955 and the first six months of 1956, but beginning in June 1956, thingsreally started popping.Their book includes many allusions to impending social change, and it encourages the readers toprepare themselves:If we desire to prepare for future changes to occur on Earth, not merely for the sake ofphysical survival, but rather to be able to further serve in more adequate ways than everbefore, there are definite things we must understand.Among these lessons is the realization that science is inadequate, according to the Stanfords:Man incessantly on Earth has tried by science and other methods of investigation to go fromeffect to cause in solving problems. The Brothers and Masters of our own planet tell us thatwe must look within.Today Rex Stanford has become a "scientific" parapsychologist, and Ray, in a reversal of his earlierposition about the inadequacy of science, operates a UFO detection station using donated electronicequipment. Installed in Austin, Texas, the organization now uses an apparently "scientific" approachto the identification of UFOs.I find some curious analogies between the statements of these contactee organizations and those ofBob Barry, the director of the Twentieth Century UFO Bureau, headquartered in Collingswood,New Jersey. The Bureau is one of the groups that compose the fundamentalist religious organizationheaded by the Reverend Carl McIntire. Barry stated in June 1978 that he had three excellentsources, one in government, the others retired from highly sensitive positions, who asserted that thegovernment was quite concerned with the UFO problem and had recovered a total of eighteenbodies after UFO crashes. An interesting belief of Mr. Barry's is that the movie Close Encounters ofthe Third Kind was part of a government plan to condition the public. "The plan in this country is onschedule," Barry said in an interview with Edgar Williams of the Knight News Service. "Threeyears ago it was decided to do TV documentaries and observe public reaction."Some of the believers insist that the movie by Alan Sandler Productions, UFOs: Past, Present, andFuture, could have been such a test. Barry observes that reaction was good:So the next step was the film Close Encounters. Now, in a little while there doubtless will bethe beginning of government advisories that UFOs are indeed with us.Since I was a narrator of the Sandler documentary and, indirectly, a contributor to CloseEncounters, I found these remarks interesting.Everyone is now so eager to see the government "reveal" this long-awaited information that no onequestions the reality of the basic facts and the political motivations that could inspire a manipulationof those facts. Trying to outsmart the CIA and the Pentagon has become such a national pastime thatlawsuits against federal agencies under the Freedom of Information Act have begun to accumulate.All that has been shown so far is that these agencies were involved – often covertly – in many
