Thanks for the link, Mr. Randall.
This part of the Pentacle memorandum raises several questions:
"Coverage should be so complete that any object in the air could be tracked, and information as to its altitude, velocity, size, shape, color, time of day, etc. could be recorded. All balloon releases or known balloon paths, aircraft flights, and flights of rockets in the test area should be known to those in charge of the experiment. Many different types of aerial activity should be secretly and purposefully scheduled within the area."
Here are the questions that Vallee rightly asks:
What were the results of that experiment? Is it still ongoing? Or, when did it end? Which sightings were staged (any well known cases?)? Where were these high profile test areas?
To my knowledge that is the extent of the fuss that Vallee raises about the memorandum, and despite the close reading on that website, they're questions that should still be asked. That's why I say that they call into question every major UFO sighting since the early fifties.
On another note, a lot of talk has been floating around lately regarding the so called "simulation hypothesis" for the reality that we inhabit. Have any UFOlogists been talking about this hypothesis in the context of the UFO phenomenon? It seems to me that the behavior of the UFO phenomenon is comparable to the level of control that a computer programmer has over his/her computer program. Disappearing/reappearing instantly; being physically located in multiple places at once; defiance of laws of inertia; objects breaking apart into multiple, independent objects, as in the Rendelsham forest case; control over electronic systems, as in the Malmostrom missile base case, although in that case I do not believe any of the nonsense reported by the military for a tiny second. And so forth. My point is to say that the UFOs themselves could be akin to digital avatars that the programmers of the simulation inhabit when they visit their program. When I play the RTS game "Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds," I can pause the game and type in the command, "Simonsays," and then I summon an invulnerable killer Ewok who has total control over the game. Similarly, a UFO could be like a digital cheat code employed by the simulators to make interaction with our reality safer. The horror that the simulation hypothesis suggests to me is basically the Gnostic religion come to life. The horror of that possibility is such that a "cover-up" would be absolutely warranted, and any disclosure of the truth would be far too horrifying and must be avoided at all costs.
