about UFOs
Major General Vasily Alexeyev
As a rule, [places where UFOs appear] are
objects of strategic significance... [The Air Force] came up with a table with
pictures of all the shapes of UFOs that had ever been recorded-about
fifty-ranging from ellipses and spheres to something resembling spaceships...The
study of UFOs may reveal some new forms of energy to us, or at least bring us
closer to a solution. Major General Alexeyev was attached to the
Russian Space Communications Center
Commander Juan Barrera "That it could be an aircraft constructed on this earth, I do not believe
possible." Statement while in command of Aquirre Cerda Airbase, commenting on a
UFO he allegedly witnessed.
General Carlos Castro Cavero
"Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in
Spain, as well as in the rest of the world... Look, as a General, as a military
man, I have the same position as the one officially held by the Ministry [of
Defense]. Now, from a personal position, as Carlos Castro Cavero, I believe that
UFOs are spaceships or extraterrestrial craft... The nations of the world are
currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is
an international exchange of data. Maybe when this group of nations acquire more
precise and definite information, it will be possible to release the news to the
world."
"I myself have observed one [UFO] for more than an hour... It was an extremely
bright object, which remained stationary there for that length of time and then
shot off towards Egea de los Caballeros, covering the distance of twenty
kilometers in less than two seconds. No human device is capable of such a
speed." He added that the Spanish Air Ministry investigated UFO cases, including
instances in which pilots had flown alongside UFOs, but when they tried to get
closer, the UFOs moved away at fantastic speeds. The investigations were kept
confidential at the time, but in
From a 1976 interview with journalist J.J. Benítez, he acknowledged that UFOs
were taken quite seriously by the Spanish military. Cavero, General in the
Spanish Air Force. In 1992 the Spanish Air Force finally began to declassify its
UFO files systematically.
General Lionel M. Chassin "The number of thoughtful, intelligent, educated people in full possession of
their faculties who have 'seen something' and described it, grows every day...
We can... say categorically that mysterious objects have indeed appeared and
continue to appear in the sky that surrounds us."
He observed that some UFO sightings by different persons over a 24-hour period,
when plotted on a map, revealed that the UFO appeared to travel in either a
straight line or a large circle. Concerning these patterns, he concluded: "Webs and networks... unmistakably suggest a systematic aerial exploration and
cannot be the result of chance. It indicates purposive and intelligent action."
General Chassin was Commanding General of the French Air Forces, and General Air
Defense Coordinator, Allied Air Forces, Central Europe (NATO). From 1964 until
his death in 1970, he was president of the French private UFO research group
GEPAN.
Air Marshal Azim Daudpota "This was no ordinary UFO. Scores of people saw it. It was no illusion, no
deception, no imagination." (The Times, London, August 3, On July 22, 1985, in western Zimbabwe, a UFO was witnessed by dozens of persons
on the ground and in the control tower at Bulawayo Airport, as well as by the
pilots of two Hawk jets that were scrambled to pursue it. The UFO was also
tracked on radar. The UFO was very bright and rounded, with a short cone above
it, and evaded the Hawk jets.
Major General Wilfred De Brouwer "In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the
conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced within
Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations were reinforced by
the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us to face the
hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken
place. Until now, not a single trace of aggressiveness has been signaled;
military or civilian air traffic has not been perturbed or threatened. We can
therefore advance that the presumed activities do not constitute a concrete
menace." "The day will come undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be observed with
technological means of detection and collection that won't leave a single doubt
about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the [UFO]
mystery for a long time. A mystery that continues to the present. But it exists,
it is real, and that in itself is an important conclusion."
De Brouwer was Deputy Chief, Royal Belgian Air Force.'
Air Chief Marshall Lord Hugh Dowding
"Of course UFOs are real--and they are interplanetary.....The cumulative
evidence for the existence of UFOs is quite overwhelming and I accept the fact
of their existence."
Dowding, commanding officer of the Royal Air Force during
WWII, and during the Battle of Britain made this statement in August of 1954.
"More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be
accounted for by any "scientific" explanation... I am convinced that these
objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on Earth." "I
can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from
some extraterrestrial source." Printed in Sunday Dispatch, London, July 11, 1954.
Colonel João Glaser "From 1969 to 1972, the ufological activities of this organization, were
most varied, including the elaboration of information bulletins, a draft of SIOANI regulations, contacts with interested parties, panels, catalogs of
contacts and others, always attempting to contribute in this field of research
that was already well known in Brazil." Colonel Glasera was with a specialized UFO bureau called System of Investigation
of Unidentified Aerial Objects
Lt. Col. Peter Grunnet
"We had many adventures flying under primitive conditions in the frozen north,
but none compared with this." "I looked back and saw something that didn't make
sense," "It was nothing like flying machines of that period," "It was hexagonal,
flat, and seemingly made of aluminum or some other metal, with no breaks in the
surface and no rivets." "At the time, I had a spooky feeling. I can't explain
it. It was as if I 'felt' the presence of whoever was inside that craft--and the
feeling was hostile. In the years since, I've realized that the craft was
'saucer' shaped, and I believe it really was a flying saucer."
Lt. Col. Peter Grunnet, Royal Danish Air force in 1932 while flying a H. E. 8
seaplane dispatched to the east coast of Greenland conducting a photogrammetric
survey. The Saga UFO Report for October 1977 "UFO Crisis over Greenland"
Colonel Fuijo Hayashi "UFOs are impossible to deny....It is very strange that we have never been able
to find out the source for over two decades." Colonel Hayashi, Commander of the Air Transport Wing of Japan's Air
Self-Defense Force, Made this statement was sometime in the 1960s.
Paul Hellyer
"UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head. . . . I'm so
concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war,
that I just think I had to say something. . . . The secrecy involved in all
matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalleled. The classification
was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials
and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never
in-the-loop." Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67, from a speech at the
University of Toronto, September 25, 2005.
Lieutenant General Akira Hirano "We frequently see unidentified objects in the sky. We are quietly investigating
them." Lieutenant-General Hirano was Chief of Staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense
Force, September, 1977.
General Kanshi Ishikawa
"Much evidence tells us UFOs have been tracked by radar; so, UFOs are real and
they may come from outer space....photographs and various materials show
scientifically that there are more advanced people piloting the saucers and motherships."
Ishikawa, Chief of Air Staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force and Commander
of the 2nd Air Wing, Chitose Air Base, made this statement
in 1967.
George Keleti
"I believe that we are not alone in the
universe and other galaxies are also carrying life on the planets. I never saw
any alien green men here on the Earth. Yes, I was a columnist [in Budapest's
Ufomagazin] and I published UFO cases that were observed and registered within
the Hungarian armed forces. I never stated that we are preparing any kind of
action against UFO forces, I only pointed out to the public that, as a
civilization, we would be unable to defend ourselves here on the Earth... Around
Szolnok many UFO reports have been received from the Ministry of Defense, which
obviously and logically means that they [UFOs] know very well where they have to
land and what they have to do. It is remarkable indeed that the Hungarian
newspapers, in general newspapers everywhere, reject the reports of the
authorities." (Lenart, Attila, "Ask a Question to the Minister of Defense,
George Keleti, are you afraid of a UFO invasion?," Nepszava, Budapest, August 18, 1994.
George Keleti was the Hungarian Minister of Defense
Major Shiro Kubuta
"It was made and flown by intelligent beings." Major Shiro Kubuta, of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force (I think). Kubuta and his
pilot, Lt. Colonel Toshio Nakamura, were scrambled in an F-4EJ to intercept what
they were told was a Soviet Bomber. Once Airborne they were informed that their
target was actually a UFO which had been sighted by ground and was being tracked
on radar. When they closed upon the red, disk-like UFO, it began to maneuver
around the plane, causing Nakamura to take evasive action. A dogfight of twists,
turns and dives insued, which after several minutes resulted in a collision,
which caused the jet to crash. Both men ejected. Tragically, Nakamura's
parachute caught fire and he fell to his death.
