Alien Base – The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth
Following the war, Gerry Casey became an inspector for the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA — later the Federal Aviation Administration) at the Boeing Airplane Company in Seattle. He remained convinced that what he and his student had seen was a flying machine ‘light years’ in advance of anything on Earth. For fear of ridicule he dared not discuss the incident with his colleagues.
Then, in 1948, a memo came through the CAA concerning the United States Air Force’s Project Sign (later Project Grudge, still later Blue Book, USAF’s official UFO investigations), urging that any personnel who had a UFO experience should report it. ‘They added that the person and the date would be investigated,’ said Casey. ‘I did as suggested but never received any acknowledgement or contact.’ An enduring curiosity led him to make his own investigations and to form his own conclusions: Since that early time in UFO history, sightings throughout the world have been reported by too many credible witnesses to ignore . . .
Airline and military pilots the world over have had similar brief encounters with exotic machines such as seen by my student and me in 1943 . . . For anyone to dismiss all sightings by professional airmen, scientists, and radar and air traffic personnel only displays the critic’s closed mind . . . For any airman who has had a similar experience to mine, the conscious event cannot be erased.
Nor can it be rationalized through comparisons with any known thing on Earth . . . Credible scientists have noted that many sightings have occurred in the vicinity of our atomic plants or military installations. Other viewings have indicated that close approaches were made in isolated areas.
Casey explained that ‘the sorry state of mankind versus his environment and his apparent headlong flight into self-destruction’ finally caused him to bare his soul by coming forward with this important report. ‘If it is true that we creatures are moving headlong into a self-destructive mode,’ he concluded, ‘possibly the failure of our planet could upset the balance of others in our, or a nearby, planetary system. If this is true, then any other superior race of creatures would be seriously concerned.’
