The UFO Underground: Rebel Researchers or Messengers of Deception?

The UFO Underground: Rebel Researchers

The UFO Research Community is occasionally turned upside down by revelations from Ex-Government Insiders and Rebel Researchers. These are people that refuse to play by the rules and often make up their own.

This amazing set includes provocative presentations with material and facts that have been proven true over time. These include ultra rare video recordings of the now infamous 1989 lectures given in Las Vegas by John Lear, Bill Moore, Bill English and Bill Cooper.

NOTE: These videos are from deteriorated VHS tapes and are of poor quality.

Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception
by Jacques Vallee

Not only do the Weitzel fabrication and the Ellsworth hoax throw
additional doubt on the authenticity of the MJ-12 documents, but they
suggest that they could have been generated by Doty himself, with or
without the complicity of Bill Moore. The latter, as we will see below,
had started working as a knowing and willing contributor to the whole
deception operation, although he still claims today that he did not know
who was behind it or even why it was being perpetrated.

It was at the July 1989 MUFON Conference, held in Las Vegas,
that the whole issue of the alleged cover-up came to a head. Several
hundred ufologists had assembled to discuss the progress in the field.
I attended as one of the invited speakers (my presentation centered on
cases of human injuries in Brazil). So did such researchers as Linda
Howe and Jenny Zeidman, a former associate of Dr. Hynek. Also on
the program was Bill Moore, whose speech was anxiously awaited by
people who expected him to put to rest a number of very nasty rumors
about the MJ-12 matter.

Among these rumors was the accusation made by researcher Lee
Graham, who stated that Bill Moore had approached him "in an intelligence
capacity" and had indicated that he worked for the government
for the purpose of releasing sensitive UFO information to the public.

Graham also claimed that Moore had shown him a DIS (Defense
Investigation Service) badge. Describing these events, Robert Hastings
wondered why Moore had not immediately disassociated himself from
Richard Doty if it had become obvious that the latter was forging
government documents.

In a confused and embarrassing presentation before the MUFON
Conference, Bill Moore indeed confessed that he had willingly allowed
himself to be used by various people claiming to act on behalf of Air
Force Intelligence and that he had knowingly disseminated disinformation,
although he had never been "on the payroll." This is a mere play
on words, of course. Not being on the payroll does not mean that he
was not paid in cash or through other means. The community of UFO
researchers has not become wise to this subtle detail. Writing to the
editor of the excellent magazine Caveat Emptor (P.O. Box 4533,
Metuchen, NJ 08840) in the summer of 1990, researcher Robert Hastings
was still calling Moore "an unpaid government informant." (My
emphasis.)

Moore gave a weak excuse for his actions, claiming that he had acted
in a heroic private effort to infiltrate and ultimately expose the operation.
At the end of this rambling speech, Moore refused to take any
questions and left the auditorium through a side door, making a quick
getaway.

When I discussed the matter with a scientist friend who was helping
me check into the information about MJ-12, we reviewed the allega-
tions about Condor, Falcon, and their fantastic claims. We had to agree
about the bottom line: no hard fact of a concrete nature supported any
of the allegations. Even the information about alleged dead aliens
reported many years ago by Leonard Stringfield has always remained of
the nature of unsubstantiated, secondhand data. My friend turned away
in disgust from the masses of material we had accumulated. "It's time
to get tough with those turkeys," he commented wryly.

HOW DISINFORMATION EXPERTS SPREAD FEAR ABOUT UFOS by Anne Strieber

*******************************************************************************

Bill Moore, UFO investigator and author, has learned a great deal about the
government coverup of UFO information over the years. A large part of this
coverup has to do with what intelligence agencies, such as the Cia, refer to as
DISINFORMATION.

In his speech to the MUFON convention in LAs Vegas on July 1, 1989, Mr.
Moore had this to say about the subject: "Disinformation is a strange and bi-
zarre game. Those who play it are completely aware that an operation's success
is dependent upon dropping false information upon a target or `mark', in such a
way that the person will accept it as truth and will repeat, and even defend it
to others as if it were true. One of the key factors in any successful disin-
formation scheme is that it must contain some elements of truth in order to be
credible. Once the information is believed, the work of counterintelligence is
complete. They can simply withdraw in the confidence that the dirty work of
spreading their poisonous seeds will be done by others."

Some of the most frightening and bizarre stories about UFOs and visitors
may well be lies that originated with disinformation experts and are innocently
spread by gullible people who do not bother to check facts, but who love a
good story. And some of the people telling these tales may not be so innocent-
they may be disinformation experts themselves.

While there is no final proof that the U.S. government has sponsored disin-
formation programs concerning UFOs, the circumstantial evidence is growing
stronger every day. It is a matter of record that at least one individual
spread disinformation in this field while working as a government employee in
an intelligence-related job, and the revelations of Bill Moore and others in-
dicate that false stories have been planted among UFO researchers for years.
