Ufos Are Real: Extraterrestrial Encounters Documented by the U.S. Government

Rate this book
Using the Freedom of Information Act to patiently outduel bureaucrats at Air Force and Navy Intelligence the CIA and the Department of State Stone obtained documents with minimally excised portions but with significant testimony from armed forces personnel still intact. they not only deal with major American UFO sites such as the alien crash site in Roswell NM but also major sightings that include hard evidence (such as unidentifiable metal fragments and chemical residues) in places like the Caribbean the Horn of Africa and the Himalayas. Beyond records of sightings and other fascinating reportage by armed forces personnel there is much evidence to prove that the government is covering up more information than it is reluctantly revealing.

"In doing the research for this book, my superiors in the military became aware of my interest and activities involving UFOs. As a result, some members of my chain of command attempted to force my retirement from military service. As one official report on my situation put it, my superiors tried to get rid of me "through the use of pressure, intimidation, or insinuation.
My command also ordered me to undergo a mental health evaluation at Fort Bliss, Texas, because I was writing Freedom of Information Act requests concerning UFOs and talking to the media. My diagnosis was based upon interviews and testing, and reflected that I was, "fully alert and oriented. Thinking was clear and coherently expressed. No psychotic processes noted....Memory intact...[my] mental status was found to be within normal limits. Problems appear to be related to situational stress manifested by interpersonal and occupational difficulties."
The report further stated:
"It appears the command may have overreacted to the newspaper article on UFOs [after the subject was interviewed by a reporter]." Finally, their report stated that my superiors felt I was "an 'embarrassment' to command."
After the psychiatric report, my case got kicked all the way up to the Army Inspector General's Office. In the final analysis, I was cleared of any wrongdoing, reinstated in my job, and I chose to remain on active duty with the United States Army"




Since a kid, Stone was told by "them": "only you can see us". As a serviceman in the US military for 22 (plus) years he met with several "weird" situations, in the capacity of "Army UFO consultant".

His belief is that "we are not alone in the Universe". Stone has been able to communicate with "them" via telepathy; able to "feel like they feel"; "they, the entities". For his search he had been sort of punished and threatened.

His quest, though, remains, despite all the history of deception and cover-ups, prevalent in the UFO phenomenon.

“Like a crooked accountant preparing two sets of books, the United States Air Force maintained two separate UFO investigation programs. Operation Blue Book was the only program publicly known to exist, and it was conceived and prepared solely to mislead the public. The other program was given a higher classification, and its existence was kept secret from not only the general public but even from the congressional leaders of this country, who have a vital need to know.”

A very personal and eye-opening exposé on Government disinformation regarding the UFO phenomenon, advanced technologies, recovery operations...,since the Roswell case (July 2, 1947).

Stone thinks there’s some “foolishness” in the Government responses.
Obviously.

I have seen this before, it is the third book that gets the same files from the government, like Tim Good and Lawrence Fawcett's books. More stranger, he later claimed that he took part in the Moon Dust operations. What makes me think, why he would do that? If he was part of it, why he would try to get it, or why was he not punished? Those are my questions.

While it does provide some great US government documental sources in regards to UFOs, the book is a bit tedious at times due to the author's redundant writing style. But don't let the writing style get in the way. This book has some very useful information regarding FOIA and the levels of US governmental classification.
