CHAPTER IV
FIRST EXTRATERRESTRIAL RESPONSE ABOUT GREAT POWERS
On
our planet, everything repeats itself, everything comes back in periodic cycles
of time. And also the events that have been tried to be archived, finished or
buried by the political or military responsible for the security of the States.
The protagonists of the sighting of Mount Palomar on a
clear night in the early 50s, were calm and had returned to their usual work of
astronomers who work in shifts auscultating the skies at will with huge movable
glass eyes and dirigible at will, when the situation was repeated in almost the
same conditions as the first time.
The night shift had
entered Monte Palomar.
It was a pleasant,
starry, clear night, from April 24th. to 25th., 1955.
One of the two astronomers working that night was the
first to observe a powerful light moving from east to west, describing an orbit
very close to the Earth.
Patrick
Landing called exalted to his companion:
- Check
this out!...
Williams Matwes
watched for a few seconds and said:
- It is
identical in trajectory and shape to the satellites that were observed about a
thousand kilometers away, about three years ago...
- Can we
calculate the turning distance and its speed?
- We
must do it if it does not disappear, before communicating it. In addition, at
this time it is possible that the White Sands radar system has detected it. If
we do not communicate, we will be fried with questions. It is better to get
ahead of the game.
They watched for a
while longer.
They concluded that it was moving in an orbit close to the Earth about
500 kilometers. From east to west, at a cruising speed greater than that of any
device known in the United States at the time.
Patrick Landing
reported this to the director of the Observatory.
He had already gone to bed and had to suffer for the second time in 3
years a professional shock by unknown lights.
He asked Landing if they were sure. Then he got up and went to the
Observatory to make sure for himself.
From there he called
the Pentagon:
- Here
is Mount Palomar. Put me with the head of security. He waited a few seconds...
Added:
- It is
very urgent and serious.
The voice on the other end of the thread addressed him:
- What's
important tonight? Has your observatory collapsed?
- Almost.
Do you remember the observation we made with Professor La Paz and Clyde
Tombaugh?
- Don't
tell me they're back.
- We
have one of the two bodies moving in the same direction, but in an orbit very
close to the Earth. We estimate that only about 500 kilometers. The other seems
to have disappeared. If that continues to get closer, it could be serious...
- Ok.
Continue to observe the object closely. I am going to give orders for
observations to be made from other points and thus verify your observation in
the radar observatories. If the object continues to describe this same orbit or
approaches, let me know immediately. If it remains stationary we will meet
tomorrow at nine o'clock. Ok?
The director of the Observatory hung up and continued to watch the
strange object with all his equipment. He gave the precise orders and retired
to his office to compare the data of the first observation with the current one
and to prepare a detailed dossier for the next day's meeting.
10.Alarm in the White House
The presence of this alien body, only 50 kilometers away from the planet, alarmed
not
only the military at the bases who had been able to detect it by radar, but
also the Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon.
A program of concealment, dirigism and manipulation of the subject of
flying saucers had been in force since the end of the 40s.
The CIA had intervened effectively, politically and forcefully in the
development of events in this regard.
The investigative commissions, the objective reports and the results
of some scientists had been kept in suspense or withdrawn from the publicity of
the media, taking advantage of the change of President in the country. Truman
was gone and in his place was a military man: General Elsenhower.
On the morning of the 25th, after the meeting of the Mount Palomar
staff with senior Pentagon personalities, a dossier was passed to the President
of the United States himself. General Eisenhower read it and, in response,
called an extraordinary meeting with the United States Committee on National
Security that same afternoon.
The urgent meeting was attended as consultants by Professors La Paz
and Clyde Tombaugh, and as informants, by the director of the Mount Palomar
Observatory and the head of the White Sands base.
At the beginning, the
director of the Observatory summarized the situation as follows:
-
We have again an unidentified body rotating around the Earth, in an orbit that
approaches the surface in almost 500 kilometers and following the East-West
route. The observation coincides with that of three years ago in several
aspects: luminosity shape, direction of rotation, speed... The only difference
is that they approach the Earth and that, of the two bodies observed, one has
disappeared. Our ultimate conclusion is that these are not meteorites, as
previously supported by Professor Clyde Tombaugh, but human-made satellites.
The conclusion raised
a wave of comments.
Some soldiers began to
shout. Eisenhower listened in silence.
The meeting was attended as astronautical technicians by
Wernher von Braun and Walter Doernberger, who were working on a similar
satellite project.
Von Braun took the
floor and addressed the director of the Mount Palomar Observatory:
- Can
you tell me, by reference to the above observation, the variations in velocity,
shape, luminosity, behavior, and orbital gyre diameter of the object in
question?
The director of the
Observatory replied:
- In the
time between the first observation and this second, we have observed an
approach of 500 kilometers in its orbit of rotation with respect to the Earth.
Each month it has gained a few seconds in its spin speed. Today we can add that
it makes a complete revolution of our Planet in less than an hour. Given its
approach, its size has varied enormously. According to our calculations, today
it has a diameter of more than 10 kilometers. Its apparent shape is spherical.
An irresolute silence
reigned again among all those present.
W. Doernberg passed a
briefcase and a folder to Von Braun. Von Braun said:
- The
Russians Heinrich Grunov and Helimuth Goeltrup are working on a similar Project
to ours, according to the information we have. But we had no news that they had
launched any such ingenuity. We can even add that the characteristics of the
observed object exceed our current state of astronautical development.
At the end of the violent meeting, two conclusions were
reached. The first, of a technical nature, read as follows:
"The body that revolves around the Earth, and which has been
detected again on Mount Palomar, is not a meteorite, but may be a secret artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union into space."
The second conclusion was political and was made between a smaller
group of members of the Pentagon and the White House. It was as follows:
"Contact will be made with the leaders of the USSR with the
utmost urgency, and the major Western powers will be invited to this
meeting."
11.The 1955 summit conference on an unidentified
body.
In the first week of May, the White House contacted the British Prime Minister and the President of the French Republic. In this contact, the items on the agenda that would be included in a possible summit conference to be held with the USSR as soon as possible.
The official invitation of the three Western powers was extended to
the USSR in the person of the Soviet Head of State on May 10th., 1955.
Against all custom, the Kremlin responded with unusual
speed and meekness. The Soviet Union declared in this reply, given only four
days later, that is, on May 14th., its readiness for the summit.
However, on the same day the Soviet news agency Tass released an
official statement that was broadcast on radio stations and transcribed in some
media outlets that read as follows:
- The Government has approved the creation of a new Study Committee,
exclusively responsible for interplanetary navigation. This Committee will be
chaired by the atomist Kapitza.
The knowledge of this statement in Washington plunged the
White House and the Pentagon into the most absolute perplexity.
Was the communication intended to give a publicity coup before the
summit meeting or did they want to justify the presence of the ingenuity at the
level of the media through a Committee that would channel non-secret
documentation?
At the previous meeting that the Prime Ministers had in
New York to prepare for the Summit, Prime Minister Foster Dulles was all
kindness and praise for the Russians. And Molotov himself, known in political
circles for his sullen manners and impenetrability, showed signs of exquisite
diplomatic correctness; He smiled for the press, let himself be put on cowboy
hats and posed for the media, putting on a much happier face than usual.
The
summit conference was set, as it has been learned since diplomatic
indiscretions, for July 18th., 1955. And indeed, it took place in Geneva on
that date, between the "Big Four": Khrushchev-Eisenhower-Churchill
and R. Coty.
The summit lasted almost a full three days. The details
of the discussion were not released, but the fundamental points in summary
could be known. During the entire time that the meeting lasted, the Western
powers avoided by all means mentioning the words satellite, unknown object, etc. Discussions focused on the topic of astronautical
research and were taken to the field of possible joint or parallel research in
this field.
On the last day of the summit, General Eisenhower struck a strategic
blow very much in keeping with his military character. He openly proposed for
the consideration of the opposing side a text that could also serve as a
conclusion to the summit if the Soviets supported it and joined it. The
approximate text was as follows:
"The United States possesses no secret knowledge
kept hidden from the rest of mankind. The bases, the factories, the atomic
installations, have as their maximum objective the peaceful development and
evolution of Humanity. Therefore, my Government would be prepared to allow, by
the Russians or any of the powers attending the summit, photographic
reconnaissance from the air or visual "in situ", provided that the
Russians agree to be the object of reconnaissance and control under identical conditions
by the Western powers and the United States."
This concession on the part of the United States, carefully
premeditated and prepared, hoped in return to obtain definitive information on
the direct involvement or non-involvement of the USSR in the event of the
observed artificial satellite.
If the Russians accepted an inspection in the traditional
fields of aerodynamic, atomic and industrial research, it was automatically
assumed that they were working with a higher margin and had a much more
advanced reconnaissance satellite that would allow them to be invulnerable to
this type of reconnaissance and maintain their advantage in space.
However, the Russians did not openly accept the American
proposal and did promise to study it carefully, considering it of great
interest.
The White House and the Pentagon were not satisfied with
this response and neither with the informative results achieved at the summit,
despite being three to one when it came to observing, suggesting and proposing.
So the United States decided to strike another blow of political and diplomatic strategy. A week later, President Eisenhower approved the construction of an artificial satellite that would officially gravitate around the Earth. The statement of this important decision was made public on July 29th. in the person of White House Press Secretary Jimmy Haggerty. The statement that was given to the media read as follows:
"President
Eisenhower has approved the construction of an artificial satellite that will
gravitate around the Earth."
The next day, the Russians issued another statement,
totally unexpected and surprising for American politics:
"Soviet scientists are ready to collaborate in the immediate
future with their American colleagues in aerospace research."
In this way the game was exposed. The Mount Palomar Observatory and
the Leningrad Observatory had observed the same object, and had concluded as a
working hypothesis that the satellite was artificial and therefore belonged to
the opposite power that had beaten them in space research.
The double misunderstanding on the part of the USSR and
the USA had led to the Geneva summit. But when the deception was discovered to
each other, the presence of that enormous unknown object, more than 10
kilometers in diameter, which revolved around the Earth at a speed of more than
30,000 kilometers per hour and followed a totally mathematical trajectory, was
crudely raised. If the object or satellite was not terrestrial-made,
Where did it come
from? Who had built it?
The scientists who were studying the case on the Russian and American
sides found it necessary to make totally unusual, paradoxical and alarming
reports.
The
object continued to accelerate its rotational speed around the Earth in a
precise way and if its trajectory was not controlled or stopped, it could
become a serious threat.
Faced with the psychosis created by the unidentified satellite, both
the Americans and the Russians found only one way out: "to speed up the
research programs that aimed to put artificial satellites around the
Earth."
In this way, astronautics was born and accelerated precisely because
of the important sightings of "unidentified objects" moved according
to intelligent principles, although of unknown origin.
What the two superpowers did not know is that their first satellites
were like walnut shells in an ocean or like dry leaves in the middle of a gale,
and that from the first ones they were going to be followed, spied on and even
intervened by the action of other satellites, other objects, of superior origin
and nature, totally unknown.
12.The first Earth satellites, spied on, tracked
and manipulated by extraterrestrial objects
At
the White Sands base, the Press Department made this semi- public statement:
"Preparations for the launch of the "Mouse" have been
accelerated. It is estimated that, in August of next year 1956, it could be
launched into space to provide information regarding the unidentified body
orbiting our planet."
The two
superpowers agreed to launch rockets to heights of 500 kilometers with
electronic cameras and telephoto lenses. The results of this space research
left no room for doubt. "The object orbiting our
planet was not terrestrial-made."
Faced with these results, the Russians accelerated the
space program to the point of unbalancing the apparent political harmony of
research in our outer space, created by the July 1955 meeting between the USSR
and the USA.
As soon as the American and Russian scientific
laboratories had photographic evidence of the nature of the satellite of more
than 10,000 meters in diameter that orbited at an altitude of 500 kilometers
and a speed of 30,000 kilometers per hour, the spherical object evaporated; It
disappeared, as had happened with identical companion a few years earlier,
without a trace. This fact meant that all the documentation that was collected
on the incident was archived, and it was not made known to the general public
at all.
Once the problem was resolved, both powers continued with
their space programs. And the USSR, while American and Russian scientists
celebrated in good harmony and company the International Geophysical Year that
lasted from July 1th., 1957 to December 31st., 1958, pulled an ace out of its
sleeve.
The ace was called Sputnik I, the first orbital satellite that broke the inviolability of our outer space and was launched on October 4th., 1957. The spheroid weighed 80 kilograms, had an apogee of 588 miles and a perigee of 142 miles. Its disintegration took place thirty days later, but before that a new Russian satellite, Sputnik II, was launched. It was launched into orbit on November 3rd., 1957, weighed 508 kilos and had a much more elongated orbit than Sputnik
It
was located between 225 and 1,600 kilometers. In addition, Sputnik II was
manned by a living being, the dog "Laika". For more than six days,
scientists followed the influences of flight on the living organism of the
"Labradora" dog. Sputnik II disintegrated 162 days later. The dog
"Laika" was the first tribute of a living being to space.
General Eisenhower had allowed himself to win an unbeatable world
political trump card, and he had also been the one who had facilitated the game
by putting all his cards face up. Then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, publicly
declared on behalf of what millions of Americans had defined as the Sputnik
crisis: "We have to frankly admit that the Soviets have beaten us on our
own turf, that of bold scientific advances in the atomic age."
Eisenhower experienced on this occasion one of the
harshest criticisms of his policy of propaganda, control and international
domination. To cushion the pain of this thorn, America launched Explorer I into
orbit on January 31st., 1958. Its exact weight was 31 kilos and 465 grams. It
described an orbit of an altitude of approximately 2,514 kilometers. But it had
a transcendental scientific result: the discovery of the cosmic radiation strips or famous rings of Alfred Van Allen, inventor of
the device that detected their presence. On March 17th., 1958, the Americans
repeated, as the Russians had done before, the launch of a new satellite, which
was called Vanguard I. It weighed 16 kilos and had an apogee of 2,453 miles and
a perigee of 409.
This
game culminated in two new satellites: the Russian Sputnik III, which carried
the first space research laboratory, and the American Score, launched on
December 18th., 1958, and which allowed General Eisenhower to relay his
Christmas message to the entire planet Earth; a message of goodwill that marked
a historic date.
These first steps in space by Americans and Russians were
carried out peacefully, but at the beginning of the 60s, at the beginning of
the first ten years of the beginning of Operation Saras, the ghost satellites and unknown objects that followed, monitored and
spied on the Earth's satellites made an appearance again.
In the summer of 1960, an unknown satellite made an appearance in the
outer space of our planet again. Their presence was detected, even
photographically, by follower stations and observation points spread over the
entire surface of our Globe.
In any case, the first photographs that were obtained coincided with
the moment when the American satellite Eco I began to be visible, on August 12th.,
1960.
The Department of Space Tracking Stations of the Grumman
Aircraft Engineering Corporation of the United States officially admitted not
only the presence of the satellite, but also its behavior, its characteristics
and its comparative scientific analysis with Earth satellites.
We transcribe in full the communication that Mr. Henry C.
Courten made in relation to this case. The summary was expressed in these
terms:
"The object, similar to a terrestrial satellite, which has been
reported in the media, was observed for the first time at one of the stations
of our photographic detection network, on August 12th., 1960, the same night
that the Eco I satellite began to be visible. However, it could not be
photographed satisfactorily until the 25th of the same month and by only one of
our stations.
The difficulties in obtaining simultaneous photographs
from the satellite increased with the position of the Earth's shadow line. The
unidentified object crossed the shadow line after passing through just over
half of the visible sky. Although these facts created serious difficulties when
it came to obtaining simultaneous photographs that would allow us to make a
perfect triangulation, we were able to make certain conjectures regarding the
height that the object had above the Earth's surface. The approximate
calculation showed that it was moving in August, at a distance ranging between
540 and 630 kilometers.
This information was sent to personnel at the U.S. Air
Force Space Tracking Station, located in Hanscom Field, Massachusetts. The Air
Force could not calculate an exact orbit, but the approximate data indicated
that the object was moving at an apogee of 7,560 kilometers and a perigee of
about 540 kilometers, always following a polar trajectory, while the trajectory
followed by the American and Russian satellites was close to the Equator in all
cases.
From a dozen reports received from different observation stations and
many others sent by the Air Force, the characteristics of the object are as
follows:
A) The color of the object varies from red to yellow.
B) Its
motion can be compared to that of Earth's satellites, but it is absolutely
different in terms of trajectory and distances.
C) The
trajectory of the object was always from East to West.
D) The
object only appeared around the time that Echo I's first night pass began to be
visible.
It should be noted that our observers are perfectly qualified to
distinguish an airplane, a meteorite or an artificial satellite. Our Company
has been observing and photographing satellites since 1958, the year in which
the first ones were launched, and has successfully captured objects as faint as
the Eta II of 1960 or the XI I of 1960, using our IBM-704 program,
Intercontinental Ballistic Projectile, to shoot blindly if necessary.
On November 30th., 1960, we were following the orbits of Explorer
VIII, when we were lucky enough to obtain three clichés of the unidentified
object , each cliché
covering about 20° of arc. On this occasion, ballistic cameras, whose accuracy
was one thousandth of a second, were used in a single station. The plates
showed definitive evidence that the object was moving at a considerable speed.
Some scientists have been trying to surmise that the unidentified object may be Lunik III, captured in its orbit back from
the Moon... In any case, the fall of the body of Lunik III on its trajectory
back to Earth, scientifically, physically, cannot have been slowed down by the
Earth's attraction and returned to an orbit inverse to the rotational motion of
our Planet...
We
are extremely interested in continuing to identify the mysterious object, based
on our observations to date."
This communication was made by personal letter and signed by Mr. Henry
C. Courten, of the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, dated July 10th.,
1961, one year after the investigations had begun.
From the point of view of the "Operation Saras" program, it
is clear that the reappeared satellite was carrying out checks on the behavior
of Eco I and other Earth satellites in orbit. It is above all evident that the
satellite was not any of those sent into outer space by the USA or the USSR
and, therefore, came from somewhere in our universe or our unknown solar
system, being sent and guided by intelligent beings of unknown origin.
We will end this chapter with another incident, this time around
Sputniks II and IV.
The second satellite launched by the Soviets, Sputnik II, was going to
manifest its abnormal behavior, parallel to Sputnik IV, and totally apart from
the behavior programmed for both satellites at the time of their launch.
Sputnik II was launched into orbit on November 2nd., 1957. When it was
orbiting approximately 512 kilometers high, on November 3rd., an unknown object
appeared in front of the satellite and described its orbit in a precise and
mathematical way, as if it had been synchronized. Moscow immediately suspended
information about the satellite and its spin orbit. The next day, an unknown object
fell on fire in Britain. On the sixth day of orbiting, approximately November 8th.,
the dog "Laika" began to show signs that her condition was disturbing
and died. Then the average distance of Sputnik II increased by 100 kilometers.
An unknown object continued to precede the satellite by about 1,500 kilometers.
Sputnik stopped transmitting, this incident being publicly communicated by
Moscow. A month of absolute silence followed, at the end of which Moscow
officially notified again that Sputnik II was located in its initial orbit, as
if nothing had happened.
Sputnik IV entered orbit on May 15th., 1960. It moved at
an average altitude of 320 kilometers. The next day a flashing light appeared
following Sputnik. From the United States, the news that the Russian Sputnik
had escaped ground control and was descending was made public. Two days later,
an incandescent sphere fell on the Fiji Islands. Sputnik IV transmits by radio
a human voice with a strange and metallic timbre (with characteristics
identical to a conversation held with a spacecraft from the Radio Station of
the Centro Studi Fratellanza Cósmica). The average distance increases by 150
kilometers. Subsequently, four objects of unknown origin follow Sputnik. Moscow
announces: The spacecraft has left its orbit and is heading aimlessly. A month
later, Moscow broke its silence with information that contradicted its previous
statement: "Sputnik IV is in its initial orbit." Sputnik IV had a
doll with the characteristics of a human person on board.
To the tactic of "No Comment" and "Top Secret" of the Governments of the United States and the USSR, on the
contacts
and tests that we have communicated, the "Saras Program" responded
with this series of responses that were captured, analyzed and verified by the
most prestigious scientists working in the construction, monitoring and launch
of satellites. Checking these events would lead many scientists to a different
tack. In some cases, these findings would mark a definitive change in the field
of research and even behavior.
From here, the "Saras Program", led by extraterrestrial
beings, entered its second phase, coinciding with the decade of the 60s,
approximately.
