This book is dedicated to all those who have lost their lives either through direct alien contact such as jet fighter pilots sent to investigate UFO sightings, those who were abducted and never returned and also those who were murdered by governments to prevent them from speaking out about what they knew.

“We seem to be moving, drifting, steadily against our will. Against the will of every race and every people and every class. Towards some hideous catastrophe. Everyone wishes to stop it but we do not know how.” Winston Churchill. “Gentlemen, the next war will not be an international war but an intergalactic war.” General Douglas McArthur. “Someday, and it won’t be too long in the future, something is going to force someone’s hand. It could be a major sighting. It could be a major leak. Something that can no longer be denied. Something will force the President’s hand. He, or she, will finally hold that long-awaited press conference and make that bombshell statement. It might go something like this, “I have been advised by the National Security Council and heads of our intelligence community, that there is a reality to some of the UFO phenomenon in that some of the UFOs are real, physical craft and not manufactured by any known civilisation on Earth.” Or words to that affect. It’s the kind of statement many proponents of UFO disclosure would like to hear but the real question is, what next? Because there will be quite a few follow-up questions. At the top of the list will be questions of who these other beings are and what their intentions might be? These will be difficult questions for any President to answer. There is a possibility that even those who have controlled the black budgets for years might not even know the answers - or, at least, not fully. What if they do know? And what if some of that information is upsetting?

Defining the intentions of non-human visitors or permanent residents - whatever they might be - might not be the easiest thing to do but it’s entirely possible, judging from the data we do have, that some may not care very much about humanity. Some may, some may not. What if an agenda has been determined within the intelligence community and this agenda includes something to do with the abduction phenomena? Even if that isn’t true, does any President honestly believe he, or she, can contain rampant speculation along those lines? Even if the intentions of these beings are said to be neutral or positive, there will clearly be tremendous suspicion by large blocks of humanity. This will not be an easy sell. There will be a sizeable number of people predisposed to interpret these beings as nothing more than demonic. Short of bringing one of these entities to a podium and subjecting it to hours, days and weeks of questions from an insatiable public, it is very likely that any moment of disclosure will not satisfy the public in the way it would like to be regarding alien motivation. That’s only the beginning of the problem. One early and obvious question that will arise and will have profound political implications is, “How have you managed to keep this secret all these years?” Considering that our entire society has been told that UFOs do not represent anything truly anomalous. That ETs, or aliens, are definitely not here on Earth. That UFO believers may be wellmeaning but have made mistakes. This has been the mindset embedded within all of our major institutions. Our educational institutions from primary schools through universities up to postdoctorate level. There are major news organisations in which an open belief in UFOs is a third rail for one’s career. Throughout our scientific establishments for sure and also our political structure. Political careers have been destroyed or at least severely undermined by the UFO taint. All of these institutions and others have treated the UFO topic as a joke - something suitable for immature minds. Can it really be that professors throughout the

USA have dismissed this phenomena without any co-operation from the intelligence community? People will see very clearly that the national security apparatus has created a global culture that has suffocated the truth. Researchers will begin to investigate in a serious way just how these relationships have undermined the credibility of all those institutions and also undermined our apprehension of truth. Citizens will naturally want to know specifics about the secrecy itself. They will want to know if the US President has been out of the loop all these years - as it seems - then who exactly has been in the loop? Who has been running the UFO cover-up? If the answer is anything along the lines of my own research, it will show the coverup has long ago graduated away from formal presidential authority into institutional and private hands. It’s not that the US President is a non-player in all this but more like the public face of the power elite that stands behind. The moment of disclosure will trigger an intellectual revolution worldwide relating to the true structure of power on planet Earth. It will be a moment when the world sees that the emperor has been wearing nothing at all. The political fall-out will be tremendous and a great battle will develop within the first year of disclosure. Think of it this way. Just because the President has been forced into making an announcement doesn’t mean the CIA, and the other intelligence groups that have been managing this, will walk away. There has been a concerted effort, expanding an entire human lifetime, to control this topic. A great deal has been invested and mere disclosure is not going to change that. The real issue in the immediate post-disclosure world will be who controls the spin on the story? Because right away there will be a great divide - a chasm. Once this topic is available for open discussion you can be sure people around the world will be demanding answers. You can be just as sure that, on the other side of the fence, information will be handed out as sparingly

as possible. Government spin doctors will be out in great numbers trying to control the situation according to national security policy although, this time, independent UFO searchers may get a public hearing that they haven’t gotten before. If the official spokesperson is making misleading or false statements, it’s going to be easier, post-disclosure, for independent researchers to point this out because, this time, the public will be more likely to listen. How that will turn out, only time will tell. There are many other messy issues relating to global finance, energy, truth commissions, law-suits, cultural transformation, cultural wars, religious and spiritual changes, scientific paradigm shifts and ultimately geo-political changes that will allow us to meet the challenges of…shall we call them ‘others’ here on Earth in some sort of co-ordinated and, hopefully, logical manner. Even more hopefully, that answers to the people rather than to a handful of elite human players. For that, we will need a groundswell of public pressure from below and tremendous political energy, effort and courage to take on the black budget culture that has dominated this subject for so long and to begin a long, hard fight to reclaim some measure of freedom and dignity for humanity while we begin a new, better and more mature phase of our existence.” Mr. Richard M Dolan. From a speech made at the Citizen Hearing On Disclosure.

Foreword. In November 2016, my home phone rang and I was asked by a friend of mine who lives in the United States, if I would help write a biographical book for a friend of hers - a man called Eddie Page. At first, I wasn’t too keen as I was busy renovating my cottage. Being American, and so never one to take a polite “No!” for an answer, she gave me a brief outline of this man’s life and career. What I heard sounded so incredible that I was rather cynical, to say the least. Any normal person living an everyday life would have been. To me, he initially sounded like either the most delusional fantasist of all time or the closest person to God since Jesus walked on the planet. I had to admit either option would make a fascinating read and, even if the former proved to be the case, the book would still be an interesting psychological study into the human mind and the power of imagination. Then I was told official, classified documentation and medical records would be produced to prove what Eddie claimed was true. Sure enough, the very next day documents were sent to me. After careful inspection and consideration, I believed the overwhelming amount of evidence produced was authentic and was genuinely excited to learn all I could about this fascinating individual. I also believed it was important and only fair that everyone on the planet has access to a full and comprehensive record of Eddie Page’s life - not just the CIA who had seemingly been monitoring him from before his mysterious birth and ever since. I am sure this book will cause you to view the world in a different way. It will also give you an intriguing insight as to how our world is viewed by others from further afield. Although this is Eddie Page’s life story, I thought it necessary to set the scene by writing two introductory chapters. The first is an overview of mankind’s history on planet Earth - much abridged! It highlights the technological developments that took place in the

1

20th century. The second chapter summarises what is both claimed and denied to have happened at Roswell in 1947 which is helpful to know for what follows. Then it’s over to Eddie. Why didn’t he write the book by himself? Because, if you want to convince a different race to your own to accept something extraordinary, it makes sense to get a person from that race to put the argument in a way that race will respond to and accept. I am unashamedly a great cynic. I rarely belief anything I am told by politicians or the mainstream media. Certainly not without corroboration and proof. Too much is either intentionally distorted or key facts omitted to give a false impression of what they want you to think. I am also a great stickler for detail. It was known I would drill-down for every scrap of information and proof that Eddie, and those who already knew him, might consider unimportant or take for granted. I bombarded the poor fellow with many additional questions arising from what he initially said until I had all I needed not only to do his extraordinary life story justice but also to convince even the most dubious of minds (including my own) that it is all true. I have learnt much from Eddie Page over the nine months we’ve spent writing the pages of his book. It is said that one learns as one ages from the ‘University of Life’, Eddie has given me a crash course (particularly regarding the Roswell incident) in the ‘Universe of Life’. He called his CIA mentor, Dr. Jiles Hamilton, his ‘Earth Father’. I now consider Eddie to be my ‘Space Father’. I can pay him no greater compliment that that. I am confident that what you are about to read will leave you as astounded as I was - and still am. Brace yourself! JP Rolls. Christchurch, England. July 2017

P.S. After that first phone call, I looked Eddie Page up on the internet. There was a documentary about him presented by Lee Majors who starred in the tv drama series ‘The Bionic Man’ in the 1970s. There was no date as to what year this documentary was filmed but it was obviously before 1997 because it ended with Eddie predicting in that year an event of major world importance would occur. In the comments posted below the documentary, members of the public dismissed Eddie’s claims by citing that no major event had happened. However, amongst these negative comments were a few that pointed out that the Phoenix Lights had been seen that year. The Phoenix Lights was, and still is, the biggest mass modern-day UFO sighting. Over 10,000 residents of Phoenix, Arizona, saw a huge, unidentified craft moving slowly across the night sky. It was estimated to be approximately 1 mile in size. The official explanation was it was simply flares dropped by military aircraft. Witnesses dismissed this explanation, as did researchers analysing film that was shot of the lights. Until now, the origin of the Phoenix Lights has never been satisfactorily explained. In this book, Eddie confirms that the Phoenix Lights was the incident he predicted, He also explains why it happened and why it occurred on the particular date it did.

Special Acknowledgements. In any lifetime, there are those who form a special bond that can never be overlooked. Therefore, I would like to give my special thanks to the two men who were not only my ‘closest of all friends’ but gave me the understanding of what I was searching for and guided me in the right direction. The first one is Jiles Hamilton - my ‘Earth Father’ as I called him. He explained to me what the US government knew and thought about the Star Seeds from before we were born. He guided me on a voyage of discovery and enlightenment that went way beyond a normal education or scientific expedition. It has culminated in this book of how 33 Star Seeds took part in the US government projects of Aquarius and Zingo. A true southern man, born and raised for most of his life in Alma, Georgia, Jiles was a very special person with a commanding presence. The way he talked, his mannerisms and the fact he was given responsibility for looking after me when I was first recruited to the CIA, was to have a profound affect on the rest of my life. It would be to him that I told many facts about my people, our culture and, especially, my Father. Jiles was always a true friend and mentor for all of us but especially to me. He was the father on Earth that I so longed for. He shines today in heaven. I often think he is telling my Father how stubborn I was at times. We all loved him and miss him greatly. He may not have realised at the time, but he was the first diplomat between government organisations on Earth and extraterrestrials. This was a difficult balancing act and, at times, his loyalty was called into question by the CIA. I can assure them that Jiles always acted in the best interest of the human race and appointing him to oversee us was the shrewdest move the CIA ever made.

Secondly, I want to give credit and my deep appreciation to the man who gave me the teachings of true ancient alien archeology - Zecharia Sitchin. He is the author of several books from which the ‘Earth Chronicles’ were derived. The two archaeological trips we went on and the various historical conundrums that mankind’s knowledge couldn’t rationally explain were solved thanks to Zecharia’s insights. It was Zecharia who gave the world an in-depth insight into the ancient cultures of the Sumerians and the Egyptians from whom mankind’s development is inextricably linked. If anyone wishes to know about Earth’s origins and how the rise and fall of ancient empires and civilisations came about, I would highly recommend the complete ‘Earth Chronicle’ set of books he wrote which include his expert and well-based opinions. During those years of CIA sponsored field-trips, we surely did prove a lot and many discoveries still remain undisclosed between me and a selected few now that Zecharia has passed away. Zecharia’s key contribution to our learning should always be remembered and appreciated when the greatest of all secrets concerning mankind’s origin and life itself will be revealed to the entire world. That time is fast approaching and it is a great pity Zecharia will not be able to have a front row seat and receive the credit that is most certainly due to him. Zecharia and Jiles will live on forever in my memory and the legacy they left will always be appreciated by me in ways mere words cannot convey.

Acknowledgements. Like any project one undertakes, there are many behind the scenes who have helped and encouraged me.

Firstly, the two men and one woman I met when I first moved to Tennessee. They called me a friend and treated me as such in so many kind ways, Mikey, his wife and, especially, his dad - Gene. They got to know more about me than they ever expected to. They got to see my people’s spacecraft and learned the truth that resides inside all of us. I thank them and want them to know they are very special to me. Next, my beloved friend and the ghost-writer of this book. The one who thought his last biographical book would never be beaten for being the most amazing true life story ever told but who quickly acknowledged that mine had taken poll position - Jay, or JP Rolls, as he is known by some. Jay had the courage to step forward with all of the Star Seeds who worked for the CIA on Project Aquarius to tell our complex story because he believed that everyone in the world had a right to know of our existence and our purpose for being here on planet Earth. He requested all the evidence needed to authenticate our claims and has presented it in a way that will be hard to disprove or disbelieve by anyone other than those who have closed minds and wear blinkers. The result is a book that UFO enthusiasts have waited decades for. It is fitting that the book is published on the 70th anniversary year of the Roswell incident. For over 70 years, successive US governments have gone to extreme lengths to keep all they knew about extraterrestrial visits under extreme secrecy so, to finally open the UFO section of the CIA vault to the world, was not done without risk. However, Jay realised it was the right thing to do and now is the right time to do it - better late than never. His encouragement, enthusiasm and help has not just opened that vault door an intriguing inch or two but wrenched it clean off its

6

rusty hinges. In this respect, I am grateful to my older brothers the twins, Michael and Daniel. They have kept a watchful eye over Jay to ensure he wasn’t bothered on our mission and the message that we bring to mankind will finally be delivered. Also, I must mention a very special lady who once asked me what songs I listened to and what I could dance to! She knows who she is. We were two personalities crashing into one another like speeding trains. I saw much good in her then, now, always and forever. I will never forget the brotherhood who carry the Red Cross of truth - the Knight Templars. They have long protected the San Grail the bloodline of the children. Thank you to all of Jah’bh’s children who are watching to see what I do in the future. Finally, thank you to everyone else who has helped me in any way. Not only for your support, but for believing in this book about life in the universe.

Introductory Chapter 1

Overview of Planet Earth.

At the time of writing, the official position of all governments of every country in the world is that, apart from on our own planet, there is no other form of life in the universe. Countries with space agencies who have undertaken space observation and exploration projects, all categorically deny encountering or finding any evidence to the contrary. Yet, as the vast scale of the universe extends way beyond the view of the most powerful telescope or the furthest space probe, the possibility of another life form somewhere in space cannot be discounted. It is stated, as a matter of fact, that the current known universe is 13.5 billion years old, extends 93 billion light years in distance and there is undoubtedly much more beyond. Some astronomers claim it to be infinite. Even if it is not infinite, educated guesses estimate that our galaxy consists of 300 billion stars. 1 in 5 of these stars is reckoned to have an Earth-like planet with liquid water present on it. That equates to approximately 60 billion Earthlike planets in our own galaxy. However, our galaxy is relatively small when it is compared to others. No-one has the remotest idea how many more galaxies exist but, in our observable universe, there are 170 billion galaxies, each with up to one trillion stars. This means there are around 23,800,000,000,000,000,000,000 Earth-like planets in our own universe. Whatever the exact number, it is roughly calculated, for the purpose of human comprehension, that each grain of sand on Earth represents approximately 10,000 stars. A truly mind-blowing statistic to consider the next time you sit on a sandy beach. Common-sense dictates that, if so many other planets exist with similar conditions to Earth, then one or more of these could sustain life similar to that which thrives on our own planet. Indeed, mankind has already identified and even photographed some distant planets that bear a striking resemblance to Earth - Kepler 186f being one notable

example. Even more likely, is that planets exist also with conditions favourable to sustaining some form of life, but these life forms may well be very different to anything that Earth has ever nurtured. After all, our own planet’s variation of life has been as diverse as plants and single cell organisms, increasing in complexity and size right up to gigantic dinosaurs. The other factor to consider is the history and time-line of life on Earth. From geological analysis, scientists guesstimate that, approximately 4.5 billion years ago, 9 billion years after the universe came into being, planet Earth was a volcanic fireball with atmospheric conditions unable to sustain any form of known life. However, as the planet cooled and the atmosphere stabilised, water formed from a combination of the elements of hydrogen and oxygen - H2O. The oceans, seas and lakes were the incubators that enabled the first life form to flourish and evolve. That’s the scientific explanation. But how did the first form of life come into being from the raw ingredients of rock and gases? No-one can explain that dilemma in indisputable detail. Yet we are all living proof it somehow did happen. The religious explanation is that a ‘God’ created human beings in his own image. Who or what ‘God’ is and this mysterious entity’s motive for doing this and God’s own origin is the source of much speculation and unresolved debate. This has often led to warfare between humans of different religious beliefs. Ironically, killing one’s fellow man is against religious laws, ‘Thou shalt not kill’ being Christianity’s commandment. However, this seems to have been ignored throughout the ages as there has never been a prolonged era of peace when there was not a war taking place somewhere on our planet. Religious teachings aside, what is largely accepted is human being’s most recent history. Until a few thousand years ago, humans were hunter/gatherers, dressed in animal skins and lived in caves. As the human race began to develop bigger brains and longer life

9

spans, new skills followed in communication, cultivation and building. The last two millenniums in the history of the human race has been relatively well researched and documented and a vague outline of it is known to most. Despite major discoveries and innovations over the last few thousand years such as the breakthrough abilities to make and control fire for warmth and cooking, writing, the inventions of the wheel and gunpowder, it was only in the 20th century that technology fundamentally changed the way that most humans lived their lives. During that century, a baby born in 1900 might well have lived in a house with just a fire for warmth, ate food grown locally, cooked on a kitchen range powered by coal or logs, had no electricity, got water from a garden well using a bucket, had no telephone and relied on telegrams to communicate long distances. There were steam locomotive trains but the main mode of transport was still by horse. It was a lifestyle that a man or woman from the Bronze Age or Medieval times would have largely recognised. Yet, had that baby born in 1900 lived to be 100 years old, then by 1999 that lifestyle would have changed beyond all recognition and belief. Cars, aeroplanes, rockets, telephones, televisions, computers and other home appliances and conveniences had all been invented, reinvented and were in common, everyday use. Mankind had even set foot on the nearest star to planet Earth - the Moon. There were more technological advances in the last 100 years than in the past 2,000 years. Why did all these technological breakthroughs occur during the 20th century? The main reason is that two world wars took place. Prior to World War 1, fought between 1914-1918, flight was in its infancy. At first, many people could not envisage how flying would benefit their everyday lives, but the aeroplane’s use as a military aid in reconnaissance and as a weapon was quickly proven. The tank was invented. More efficient machine-guns and artillery cannon with longer ranges were developed. New weapons such as flamethrowers and poison gas were used in combat for the first time,

as were submarines which served little practical purpose apart from sinking ships. The end result was that mankind was able to kill and maim the combatants and citizens of other nations in their millions. The victorious countries did not benefit from their victory in the ‘land fit for heroes’ way they had been promised. The defeated nations were left resentful and bitter at the armistice terms. World War 1 was described, and even justified, as the ‘war to end all wars’. History was to prove this hope was forlorn and would not be fulfilled. Far from it, as the World War 1 aftermath directly contributed to the start of World War 2 - just 21 years later. World War 1 did see developments in medical care such as pioneering surgery for facial wounds. However, no antidote or cure was available for the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic which spread right across the planet infecting 500 million people and resulting in the deaths of between 50 to 100 million victims. Undeniably, if the investment and brainpower the world’s nations invested in developing weaponry to kill fellow humans had been redirected into medical research to save lives, many millions would have been saved from unpleasant and premature deaths. The other important benefit World War 1 brought about was the changed role of women in society. Before the war, women mainly did domestic work in the home - cooking and cleaning. Some worked as maids, cooks, nurses, waitresses, shop assistants or laboured on the land, but few had other jobs. Those roles had always been filled by men. When millions of men went off to fight, women were needed to fill the jobs that suddenly became vacant or had become essential. These included factory jobs such as producing ammunition and weapons. Women workers proved their worth in the workplace and most relished their newly-found emancipation and wages. When the men returned, there was a larger workforce which began to produce updated products across all aspects of society. Faster cars. Labour-saving household devices. Women’s wages meant households

11

had more money to spend. Trips to the cinema, listening to the wireless and use of telephones became more widespread. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the arms race continued but at a slower pace than during the war. Bi-planes became single wing aircraft - faster, bigger and with the ability to drop multiple bombs. In 1939, World War 2 started and the arms race accelerated yet again. The opposing nations were much the same as had fought each other during World War 1 but, this time, the way they fought each other was different. Radar was used to detect enemy aircraft. In attempting to crack the German Enigma code machine, the British invented the prototype to the computer. A breakthrough that, in the decades to come, was to evolve into everyday life in a way no-one could have initially predicted or imagined. When the Americans entered the war and the Russians advanced from Eastern Europe, the retreating Germans realised their only chance of snatching victory from defeat was if they managed to develop new weapons that could cause widespread destruction and mass death on a far greater scale than conventional weapons of the time were capable of. These innovations included the jet engine, the rocket and even nuclear bombs. The Allies knew of the German plans and hampered development by bombing research facilities. Despite these setbacks, the Germans did manage to get the V-1 ‘flying bomb’, ‘buzz-bomb’ or ‘doodlebug’ into production. This was a jet-propelled pilotless flying bomb. Although it could not be steered whilst in flight, in many ways it was the first missile or drone. V-1s were launched from ramps mostly aimed in the direction of London. When the V-1 ran out of fuel, calculated to be when it was above London, the engine stalled and it fell out of the sky to explode where it crashed. Despite being far more devastating than ordinary bombs, the V-1 had many flaws. The Germans were unable to manufacturer V-1s in sufficient numbers to destroy London as had been hoped and time was running out as

12

the first V-1 was fired on June 13th, 1944 - just over a week after the successful D-Day landings. As the Allies advanced through France, the V-1 launch sites were over-run. Around 12,000 V-1s were launched before the war in Europe ended. The German High Command had another, even more devastating weapon, ready to fire at London. This was the V-2 ‘retribution weapon’. It was basically a rocket engine with a casing filled with explosives and was the first long-range, ballistic missile. It did not fly like a conventional aircraft or the V-1. The V-2 was launched vertically. It was the first man-made object to cross the boundary of space and was also the first mass-produced rocket. From September 1944, until the German official surrender was signed, over 3,000 V-2s were fired. As German forces retreated, soldiers from the United States and the Soviet Union (who, though fighting the same enemy, had different political ideologies - capitalism and communism) competed to capture the German manufacturing sites producing the new deadly weapons and jet-powered engines which were far in advance of their own technology. Over 100 V-2 technicians surrendered to the Americans and many ended up working in the USA. American soldiers also seized sufficient parts to build 80 of the rockets. After the war, the Soviet Union occupied the countries where the V-2 manufacturing facilities were based which enabled their scientists to restart V-2 production. This was later relocated to further inside the Soviet Union. In 1938, two German chemists claimed to have detected and identified the element barium after bombarding uranium with neutrons. This became known as nuclear fission. Their discovery made the development of an atomic bomb a theoretical possibility and led to a German nuclear weapon project being started in 1939. However, it stalled after many of the physicists were conscripted. A second project began later that year with three objectives; to build a nuclear reactor, to begin uranium and heavy water production and to achieve uranium isotope separation. Surprisingly, the German

High Command eventually concluded that nuclear fission would not contribute to a German victory in the war and many of the scientists were switched to other projects. As the war in Europe drew to a close, the Allies competed to seize the remnants of the German nuclear program as they did with the V-2 project. The Americans were particularly keen to get their hands on it and relieved when they did as, back in 1939, following the announcement of the discovery of nuclear fission, the scientist Albert Einstein had warned US President Roosevelt that it might soon be possible to build a weapon that would use the power of the atom to cause an unprecedented amount of death, destruction and devastation. The scientist had urged the President to get American scientists to build an atomic bomb as a matter of extreme priority before German scientists did. Roosevelt heeded this advice and a special team of scientists was created whose work became known as the ‘Manhattan Project’. The nuclear race had started. Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945 and the war in Europe ended. However Japan, Germany’s main ally, fought on and the war continued to rage in the Pacific. Since 1942, more than 100,000 scientists had worked on the Manhattan Project making it the largest and most secret scientific project ever undertaken so it was not surprising the American’s development proceeded faster than the Germans. In April 1945, the American nuclear team informed their new President, Harry Truman, that they were ready to test the world’s first atomic weapon. In July 1945, this was successfully detonated in the New Mexico desert. The Japanese also had a nuclear weapons program but it lacked the resources of the Manhattan Project and had made little progress in developing an atomic bomb by the time the Americans had successfully tested theirs. On August 6th, 1945, an American bomber dropped an atomic

bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, instantly killing around 80,000 civilians. Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing 40,000 more. In the months following the bombings, approximately 100,000 others died of radiation burns and poisoning. To date, those two bombings remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in recorded history. Japan surrendered on August 15th, 1945 and World War 2 ended. However, its legacy was to live on. It changed the political and social structure of the world. Former allies, the USA and the USSR, emerged as superpowers and rivals setting up the ‘Cold War’ - each trying to promote conflicting political ideology and protect its territories. They competed for nuclear supremacy and to win the race into space and to land on the Moon. Like the aftermath of World War 1, the post-war world saw many differences and advances in everyday life but one of the main legacies of World War 2 was air travel. Thousands of pilots had been trained as fighter or bomber pilots and, after the war ended, many got jobs as commercial pilots or flew private planes for work or pleasure. This was to lead to a phenomena that persists to this very day - the sighting of what was to become known as ‘unidentified flying objects’ or UFOs. No doubt, before mankind could imagine flying with the birds, humans had long looked up into the sky and seen objects or lights that defied obvious explanation. Many of these sightings were likely to be meteorites or caused by unusual weather conditions. However, on June 24th, 1947, whilst flying his private plane over the Cascade Mountains in America, a pilot witnessed a sight that was the first widely publicised UFO sighting. One which caught the attention of the world. Keith Arnold stated he initially saw a bright flash in the sky and then saw a formation of 9 objects flying at fantastic speed. Based on his own plane’s controls and landmarks he was flying over, he estimated

15

the unidentified objects speed to be 1,200 miles per hour - much faster than any conventional aircraft could fly at that time. However, what Keith Arnold saw were not conventional aircraft. He described the objects as saucer-like discs with no wings or tails. The discs had a reflective mirrored surface and were each about 50 foot in diameter. They flew in a tight formation as if they were linked together. He said they flew, not like rockets, but how “a flyingsaucer would if you skipped it over water”. That description was how the term ‘flying-saucer’ came to be used. Keith Arnold was an experienced pilot who had nothing to gain by concocting such a far-fetched story and had his professional credibility to lose. Interestingly, there were 20 similar sightings in the same area over the next few days. By July 5th, there were up to 100 sightings a day. All over the United States and the rest of the world, thousands claimed to have witnessed seeing something similar at some time in their lives without knowing what it was that they had seen or how to explain it. Despite this furor, it was an incident just days after Keith Arnold’s claim, at a location 1,500 miles away that really captured the public’s imagination. An incident that still causes controversy to this day, with the US government dismissing it and various officials, who break security agreements to go public, stating that what was initially claimed in 1947 was largely true. It has become known as the Roswell incident. Although it happened 8 years before Eddie Page was born, the Roswell incident is where his amazing life story begins.

Introductory Chapter 2 The Roswell Incident.

On July 8th, 1947, the Roswell Daily Record ran possibly the most dramatic headline any newspaper ever printed - before or since. It claimed ‘RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell Region.’ The sensational article was based on information provided by the Roswell Army Air Field Public Information Officer. The press release began, “The many rumours regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.” Not surprisingly, the announcement stunned the world - if only temporarily. Just a day later, the military changed their official line and claimed the object they first thought to be a ‘flying disc’ was, if fact, a mere weather balloon. This started the most fascinating mystery and enduring controversy of the post-atomic age. One that still continues to this day - 70 years later. Roswell is in the American state of New Mexico. In 1947, it was a US Air Force base and home to the 509th Operations Group which, by coincidence, had dropped the atomic bombs on Japan just two years earlier. Prior to the alleged crash of an alien spacecraft, many Roswell residents had seen unexplained lights in the night sky. In the first week of July 1947, there were a number of thunderstorms in the vicinity of Roswell. During the early hours of July 4th, 1947, there was a particularly severe one. During this, many witnesses claimed to see a particularly bright light which was described as “a halo of light too bright to look at for many seconds”. This was not a normal, instantaneous flash of lightning. On July 6th, William ‘Mac’ Brazel was doing his daily round of a ranch 75 miles from Roswell when he spotted some debris that none of his sheep would go near. He collected a few pieces and took

17

them to show a neighbour, Loretta Proctor, who described a piece as, “like plastic but, when you crushed it, it straightened back up and had beams with pinkish, purple printing.” Mr. Brazel took the debris to Sheriff George Wilcox, who notified the local airbase. There, the Air Intelligence Officer, Major Jesse Marcel, was assigned to investigate. That night, he collected the debris from Mr. Brazel and then went to gather more from where the other pieces had been found. He was so intrigued by what he collected that he took it home to show to his wife and young son. One piece was thin and light but so strong it could not be bent. The foil-like material could be crumpled but would immediately reform back into its original shape. “God Almighty what the hell is this?” was the Major’s amazed reaction. Major Marcel’s son remembers his father was excited and his only explanation was that it must be part of a flying-saucer. He remembers purple hieroglyphic symbols on a piece of light metal. Frankie Rowe, a fireman’s daughter also saw the material and said when it was dropped, “it spread out like water but with no ripples”. Also, it was light but strong and when she held it in her hand, “it felt like nothing was touching my skin”. Major Marcel took the debris to the airbase and showed it to the Commanding Officer, Colonel Blanchard, who ordered his Public Information Officer, First Lieutenant Walter Haut, to brief the local newspaper that the airbase had in its possession a ‘flying disc’. It was described as “of a flimsy design, like a box kite, with no sign of the power unit”. Major Marcel flew samples of the debris to Fort Worth Texas, the headquarters of the 8th Air Force. General Roger Ramey, the Commanding Officer there, later held a press conference in his office. The debris was spread out on the floor in front of photographers

and photos of it were taken with General Ramey and Major Marcel. The Fort Worth Weather Officer was also present and declared the debris to be a weather balloon. The debris on the floor was undeniably exactly that. However, those who had seen the debris before it was flown to Fort Worth were adamant that the remains of the weather balloon seen in the photos was not the debris they had seen. The implication was that Major Marcel took part in a cover-up that involved switching the genuine debris for a weather balloon. Those who had claimed it was a flying disc were ridiculed. The story was officially dead and the world considered itself hoodwinked. Those in Roswell who publicly disputed that the remains of a weather balloon was what they had seen, were intimidated and threatened by the military into silence. KGFL, the local radio station was told that, if it broadcast anything further about the incident, it would immediately lose its licence to broadcast. Why would the military do this? Was it really just embarrassed? If so, such threats were even more of an embarrassment, made against the very citizens it was meant to defend from harm and fuelled speculation of a cover-up. Over the years, more twists and turns in the incident emerged. In 1965, Colonel Blanchard, by then a 4-star General, attended a reunion dinner with the Mayor of Roswell and other residents. The subject of the Roswell incident was raised and the Mayor, Bill Brainerd, recalls the General saying, “It was the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.” Another guest remembers him saying, “What I saw, I’d never seen before.” For 30 years after the incident, the town and military maintained an uneasy silence. Then, in 1979, Major Marcel did a television interview. He said he had tried to set fire to a piece of debris but it wouldn’t burn. He tried to snap it but it wouldn’t break. He did not go as far as to admit that the original debris had been deliberately swapped

19

and he had unwillingly taken part in a cover-up but that was the implication. He still clearly believed that what he had collected from William Brazel was not man-made as, “If it was something of ours, there would be no reason to keep it under cover this long.” He also said that, after he had delivered the debris to Fort Worth, he had been taken to another room to point out on a wall map where the wreckage had been found. When he returned to the room for the press conference, the remains of a weather balloon were now laid out on the floor. It’s easy to read between the lines of a man who was reluctant to betray his former military employer outright but who was deeply troubled at the deception that had occurred. In 1947, General Ramey’s Chief of Staff was Colonel Thomas DeBose. Before he died in 1991, then a retired Brigadier General, he gave a taped interview. He confirmed the weather balloon was a cover story. He said that General McMullen, Deputy Strategic Head of the Air Command at the Pentagon, was in overall charge of the operation and had described the incident as, “More than top secret - beyond that.” There was no question that a cover-up did occur in 1947. The question was, what were they all covering up? A possible explanation was revealed in 1994 when ‘Project Mogul’ was declassified and documentation released into the public domain. Project Mogul was a top secret, spy balloon project undertaken by the USAF involving microphones flown on high-altitude balloons. The purpose of these balloons was to fly over the Soviet Union and detect sound waves from Soviet nuclear bomb tests. The balloons were made of polyethylene plastic. The top secret nature of the project and the new material could feasibly account for both the wonder of those who found the debris and the military cover-up of switching the polyethylene balloon for a weather balloon. However, the official flight records of Project Mogul did not record that there was a test flight near Roswell on the dates prior to the sightings and when the debris was found. Also, a metallic

radar device attached to each balloon was made of the same tin-foil Hershey’s had been wrapping candy bars in since the 1920s - as had chewing-gum manufacturers. To many, including those who had seen the original debris, it was a second, still unconvincing cover-up story concocted by the military when media pressure demanded another, more feasible, explanation. Despite this, it was, and still is, widely considered to be the most likely rational ‘down to earth’ explanation. Just when the Roswell Incident seemed to have been finally accounted for, many more revelations emerged. In 1947, Frank Kaufmann was serving as a Master Sergeant at the Roswell airfield. He claims that one night a lot of unexplained activity was detected on the base’s radar. “Blips dancing on the screen. All of a sudden there was a flash.” That’s how he described it. He was one of a team sent out to investigate. 45 miles south of the ranch where Mr. Brazel found the debris, the team saw a halo of light glowing and on going closer found the glow came from a strange looking craft that was embedded in the ground but which was definitely not a plane or a missile. It was about 25 feet long and had been split open. A strange looking body had been flung out and was laying on the ground. Another was half-in and half-out of the craft. As they got closer, they saw another three bodies inside the craft. They radioed the airbase for a crane and other vehicles to attend the crash site. Mr. Kaufmann was able to provide a copy of the official report he made at the time which included sketches of the craft and an artist’s impression of the dead occupants. He saw control panels inside the craft and hieroglyphic symbols which he could not understand. The underside of the craft had a series of octagon-shaped cells.

He noticed that, by the time the corpses were put into body-bags, their skin had began to shrivel. Once at the base, he says a local undertaker was called and asked what embalming fluid could be used to preserve the corpses. This part of his account was confirmed by Glenn Dennis of Ballard Funeral Home in Roswell who said the Roswell base rang him to enquire about child-size coffins and what effect embalming fluids would have on blood, tissue and internal organs. Mr Dennis’s company also had the ambulance contract for the base and, that same day, he went to the base to take an injured airman to the hospital. To his surprise, he was told to leave the base. As he left, he saw a nurse he had dated leaving Hanger 84 with a towel over her mouth. She was clearly in a distressed state. The next day the nurse called him and they met. She was still very upset and explained to him the reason why. She’d been asked to help doctors with an autopsy. In a body bag they’d opened, were two very small, mutilated corpses. Another contained a corpse that hadn’t been mutilated. She said her job was to take notes as the doctors conducted the autopsies. She claimed a very toxic smell came from the bodies which eventually forced all the medical staff to leave the hanger. Mr. Kaufmann confirmed Hanger 84 was where the wrecked craft and the corpses were taken. Other witnesses also saw inside the hanger, including Joe Montoya, the then Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico, who was campaigning for re-election and who told his chauffeur to, “Get the hell off the base!” as he had seen “little men with big heads” and one was still alive. This was confirmed by Sheriff Wilcox’s wife who had been told by her husband he had seen a live alien whilst visiting the base. Sheriff Wilcox also told his daughter the same account. In 1997, after he had retired, Lieutenant Colonel Phillip J Corso claimed that, during his career, he had seen alien bodies and wreckage from an alien spaceship. His job, which was working for the department of Research Development on Foreign Technology at the Pentagon, meant he had the highest security clearance which gave him access to

the official Roswell incident files. He claimed he saw radar footage tape and reports of alien craft which flew at between 3,000 and 4,000 mph and could unlock radar tracking devices that attempted to track their flight. He also stated that the National Security Agency had received patterned communications from space that it was unable to decode but which definitely weren’t caused by space debris. He also asserted that study of the aliens and the crashed alien spacecraft had helped develop lasers, fibre-optics, integrated computer circuits (microchips), nightvision sights and bullet-proof vests. There was even an alien headband which appeared to be used for communication purposes or
