Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Project Twinkle files reveal that Dr. La Paz suspected that the green fireballs were “U.S. guided missiles undergoing tests in the neighborhoods of the sensitive installations they are designed to defend.” He added, however, that “if I am wrong in interpreting the guided missiles as of U.S. origin, then certainly, intensive, systematic investigation of these objects should not be delayed until the termination of the present academic year.
Recent international developments compel one to sense the imperative necessity of immediate investigation of the unconventional green fireballs, in case you are in possession of information proving that they are not U.S. missiles.” For a year or so, the green fireballs were seen time and again around sensitive installations in the Southwest—after which the sightings dropped and finally came to an end. Project Twinkle remained active for a while, however, even though matters had certainly calmed down.
The final report on Project Twinkle reveals the following from 1952: “The Scientific Advisory Board Secretariat has suggested that this project not be declassified for a variety of reasons, chief among which is that no scientific explanation for any of the ‘fireballs’ and other phenomena was revealed by the report and that some reputable scientists still believe that the observed phenomena are manmade.” As for the Teller connection, UFO researcher Grant Cameron says: “Dr. Teller’s first encounter came in the early days of the UFO mystery during the Truman administration.
On February 16, 1948, Dr. Edward Teller, along with Dr. Lincoln La Paz, a University of New Mexico astronomer, was part of a secret 1948 ‘Conference on Aerial Phenomena’ that was held at Los Alamos to discuss the UFO phenomena. The particular interest of the conference was the so-called ‘green fireballs’ which were then being widely reported in the area.
This green fireball investigation was also known as ‘Project Twinkle.’ Dr. Teller had commented during the conference that he felt the phenomenon was an electro-optic phenomenon rather than material phenomena due to the lack of noise.”
Of equal note, Cameron adds: “In 1958 Teller expressed interest about possible life on Mars. In testimony before the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee on November 25, 1958 he stated that even though the moon and Mars were inhospitable places, Teller felt there would be a search for ‘any kinds of traces of life.’” From at least the late 1940s to the latter part of the 1980s—when Lazar got the gig of a lifetime—Edward Teller had deep and long-lasting ties to the UFO phenomenon. The fact that he was also a prime mover in the Star Wars program suggests that he almost certainly knew that Congress was being misled with regard to the diversion of money allocated to Star Wars actually being provided
to the personnel at the Nevada Test and Training Range’s S-4.
Now let’s look at what President Reagan had to say about aliens of a hostile kind—at the same time that he was championing the Strategic Defense Initiative. It’s a notable fact that President Reagan made a number of intriguing statements relative to the UFO phenomenon in the mid-1980s—when SDI research was at its height—specifically regarding the potential threat it posed to each and every one of us. It all began in November 1985 at the Geneva Summit, when Reagan was deep in discussion with Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev.
The subject: trying to find a way to reverse the arms race and decrease the threat of a global, nuclear holocaust. According to formerly classified memoranda generated by the Department of Defense in 1985, “Reagan said that while the General Secretary was speaking, he had been thinking of various problems being discussed at the talks. He said that previous to the General Secretary’s remarks, he had been telling Foreign Minister Shevardnadze (who was sitting to the President’s right) that if the people of the world were to find out that there was some alien life form that was going to attack the Earth approaching on Halley’s Comet, then that knowledge would unite all the peoples of the world.
“Further, the President observed that General Secretary Gorbachev had cited a biblical quotation, and the President is also alluding to the Bible, pointed out that Acts 16 refers to the fact that ‘we are all of one blood regardless of where we live on the Earth,’ and we should never forget that.” Barely four weeks had passed before Reagan publicly raised the UFO issue yet again. This time, it was before an entranced throng at Fallston High School in Harford County, Maryland.
He told the packed crowd: “I couldn’t help but— when you stop to think that we’re all God’s children, wherever we live in the world—I couldn’t help but say to [Gorbachev] just how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. “We’d forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together.
Well, I guess we can wait for some alien race to come down and threaten us, but I think that between us we can bring about that realization.” Reagan was far from done with alluding to the world that, just perhaps, an extraterrestrial threat might be waiting in the wings to assume control of the planet. It was September 21, 1987, when, before none other than the United Nations’s General Assembly, Reagan told a captivated audience: “In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond.
I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. “And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”
Now we come to what is undeniably the most sinister aspect of all this: the series of strange and mysterious deaths of numerous scientists and researchers who worked on the Star Wars program.
