Billionaire Aerospace Entrepeneur Tells NY Times
Gary S. Bekkum June 11, 2010 Perhaps no one in the private sector knows more about the CORE STORY than Robert Bigelow, the founder of Bigelow Aerospace. In a recent article by the New York Times, Bigelow is quoted about the dangers of extraterrestrial contact. "I´ve been a researcher and student of UFO´s for many, many years," Mr. Bigelow said. "Anybody that does research, if people bother to do quality research, come away absolutely convinced. You don´t have to have personal encounters...People have been killed. People have been hurt. It´s more than observational kind of data." Bigelow's revelation may have slipped by NY Times writer Kenneth Chang, but grabbed the attention of Billy Cox, who wrote in the Herald Tribune: "Whoa, yo, time out! Holy moley, Mr. Chang -- the emerging top prospective client for post-NASA rockets just said people have been killed and injured by UFOs. And the dude bases it on 'more than observational data.'" Billy Cox goes on to speculate whether or not Bigelow's "observational data" is related to an FAA manual directing Air Traffic Controllers to report UFO contacts to the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS). Perhaps. But Cox may be unaware of the intimate connections between Bigelow's paranormal interests and a former CIA official; a physicist who has been contracted to write evaluations of far-out topics like teleportation, for the USAF; and others with friends and associates in the Intelligence Community. Some of the others are associated with private sector attempts to reverse engineer suspected alien technologies. Or so we have been led to believe. And among the reports of strangeness are stories of paranormal happenings at a remote ranch in Utah. In my book, Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape, tall tales of extraterrestrial visitations are woven through covert past attempts by the CIA and other intelligence agencies to access paranormal phenomena. Thanks to the partial declassification of government documents, I have been able to confirm some, but not all of the strangeness being reported. In one startling contact tale told to me by a scientist who worked on the Bigelow paranormal investigation at the Utah ranch, an alien presence took physical and mental control of one of the scientists. "Terse, threatening" voices were 'telepathically' broadcast into the scientist's mind, warning Bigelow's team to leave. Other, more disturbing stories included the discovery that the rancher's dogs had apparently been disintegrated into a black goo. Recent reports of the possibility of a new kind of life on Saturn's moon Titan have ignited debates about what might be 'out there' and physicist Stephen Hawking has warned of the dangers of contact with intelligent alien life-forms. In 1987, psychic spies at the Defense Intelligence Agency (which would later run a psychic spy program under Obama Director of National Intelligence nominee James Clapper) were tasked against a suspected alien presence in the solar system. According to one declassified report (available to view at STARpod.org), humanoid aliens were 'observed' by a psychic spy at "Titan Base." This report was found among the 89,000 pages of Project STAR GATE documents officially released by the CIA, and bears an official declassification marking. In October 1988, a television special called UFO Cover-up Live revealed the existence of the then secret DIA paranormal program the same program that had reported on the alien presence a year earlier. Years before the broadcast, I had heard a rumor that the Air Force was involved with an extraterrestrial presence from a source who had recently left the Air Force. It was implied by this source that the Air Force had been involved with visitors from another world: "If you knew the truth about what is going on with the UFOs, you wouldn't be able to sleep at night." Although I discounted the strange story, it was similar to the bizarre tales told by two former Air Force sources during the UFO Cover-up Live program. A source involved with an earlier Bigelow investigation did confirm to me the veracity of the Utah ranch rumors. In one exchange with this source -- and I am paraphrasing here -- the source advised staying away from the ranch to avoid getting zapped by whatever presence haunted the location. I presume this was a reference to the tale of the disintegrated dogs, but perhaps there are other incidents which remain untold. Billy Cox adds a caveat for any prospective adventurer planning to stay at one of Bigelow's private space stations: "Just seems like anybody hankering to crawl into space with this guy might like to know what the hell he´s talking about."
