In the late 1970s/ early 1980s an
electronics expert, Paul Bennewitz, see
The Dulce Papers living in the vicinity of Kirtland
Air Force Base near Albuquerque - New Mexico, inadvertently
intercepted radio transmissions from the base apparently
containing information about UFOs and aliens. Bennewitz
initially was intrigued but eventually became horrified
by the disturbing contents of the secret messages and
the fact that the general public were unaware of the
apparent covert collaboration between elements of the
U.S. establishment and an alien force.
With this in mind Bennewitz began
to put an increasing amount of time and effort into
attempting to intercept and investigate more of the
radio signals. Bennewitz's activities came to the
notice of certain members of the intelligence community,
one of whom decided to approach Bill Moore, a former
special agent in the Air Force Office of Special
Investigations, asking him to monitor and report
back on the activities of Bennewitz. In return Moore,
who had now become a UFO researcher himself, was
provided with classified information about UFOs and
aliens. Moore was not only successful in supplying
the necessary information to the members of the intelligence
community but also (reputedly) fed misleading information
to Bennewitz. This made it possible to discredit
Bennewitz - in other words declare him a crank -
should he disclose any of the details contained in
the classified messages he had intercepted.
In
fact, in a most unnecessarily cruel way, they succeeded
in gradually causing Bennewitz to suffer an enormous
nervous and physical breakdown. Meanwhile, according
to leading UFOlogists and other observers, Moore was
rewarded by receiving the Majestic-12 papers. The Majestic-12 Papers
are covered in detail on this web site. Whilst all of
this was ongoing, Moore disclosed what was happening
to fellow UFOlogist Jaime Shandera. In 1982, Moore and
Shandera began to receive officially classified information
regarding UFOs and whilst attempting to verify the material
they came across several other members of the intelligence
community who were willing to disseminate information.
In order to protect the identities of these members of
the intelligence community, Moore and Shandera decided
to give them pseudonyms - as the first was designated "Falcon",
the rest were given "bird names" - hence collectively
they became to be known as "The Aviary".
"The Aviary" was a group of individuals
who, rather than being just a number of low grade intelligence
agents, were working (or had worked) at very high levels
with very high security clearances; it is almost certain
that they became involved in the UFO phenomenon in the
early 1970s and included both active and retired military
and intelligence officers. It seemed that their primary
objective was to make known to the general public, details
of the government's involvement with extraterrestrials
and technology gained from crashed UFOs etc…
However, it is probable that the members of the Aviary
had joined forces in order to gather information on the Majestic-12.
As members of the intelligence community, they had all
been involved with or had contacts in the UFO field and
their aim was to access secret files and gather information
which would provide them with a greater understanding
of that "above top-secret, shadow group" - the Majestic-12.
It does seem that there was an "overlap" in
the alleged membership of the Aviary and that of the
Majestic-12 - in other words the Majestic-12.
had successfully infiltrated the Aviary. This situation
caused a division of opinion in the members of the Aviary,
some wanting to publicize information regarding the US
Government's knowledge of UFOs and aliens, whilst the
others opposing these feelings. It is highly probable
that, in order to discredit some UFO researchers and
to protect their own status, some of the members of the
Aviary fed "disinformation" to gullible researchers -
thus causing disarray and arguments amongst the UFO research
community and protecting the activities of the Aviary.
In fact amongst the electronic signals that Bennewitz
intercepted, the following messages were included - probably
disinformation deliberately transmitted so that Bennewitz
would become increasingly paranoid:
"Established constant direct
communication with the alien……. Subsequent
aerial and ground photographs revealed landing pylons,
ships on the ground……… aliens on
the ground in electro statically supported vehicles……… charging
beam weapons. The aliens are picking up and "cutting" people
every night…… whether all implants are
totally effective I cannot predict….. Conservatively
I would estimate at least 300,000 people have been implanted
in the U.S……. at least 2 million worldwide."
Presumably Bennewitz, being an acknowledged electronics
and communications expert, was an astute man who was
not easy to fool and it would be reasonable to assume
that the original messages he intercepted were "genuine" and
must, surely, have contained information about UFOs/aliens
- otherwise why would the disinformation fed to him relate
to "horrific" events involving the abduction of human
beings and the insertion of "implants"? Surely disinformation
is of no use or value if it does not "blend in" with
valid facts. Where the truth began and ended in the information
collected by Bennewitz is debatable but one thing is
without doubt true - the content of the intercepted messages
certainly caused Bennewitz to become a paranoid and deluded
man who eventually suffered a colossal nervous breakdown
in 1985.
There is no doubt at all that the U.S.
Military and Intelligence agencies have been involved
in experimentation on human beings (without their knowledge
or consent) for decades, so perhaps some of the more
bizarre messages intercepted by Bennewitz could well
have been more truthful than at first glance - See MK
ULTRA on this site. According to Jaime Shandera,
UFOlogist and research partner to Bill Moore, when discussing
the Aviary:
"We wanted the information but didn't want to reveal
where we got our clues. To maintain anonymity, I gave
Bill's source the name "Falcon", the next source we used
we called "Condor" and so on until we had 24 contacts
from all levels of the government. It was my idea to
use bird names."
When asked if the Aviary regarded disinformation as its
main objective, Shandera replied:
"No, but sometimes you have to misdirect the truth in
order to protect your source. Disinformation is an escape
route; you can discredit an entire project by referring
to the one bad apple you've planted". |
Researchers
believe they now know the identities of some members
of the Aviary, indeed one man, Commander C.B. Scott Jones
- a retired Naval Intelligence officer, admits there
was such a group and is endeavouring to persuade the
U. S.
Government to reveal more about their knowledge of UFOs.
Scott Jones remarked:
"I was in Naval Intelligence for 15 years and I never saw
any documents relating to UFOS. I am skeptical about a
lot of the evidence, I don't find it compelling but I believe
there is a very high probability that we're being impinged
upon by non-Earth intelligence. The Aviary has not met
for years, the only exception being those who are just
friends". Whatever the initial aims of the Aviary were
, it does seem that the faction which wished to discredit
UFOlogists was, ultimately, the dominant influence on the
actions of the group - Moore and Shandera being just manipulated
pawns in a campaign of disinformation, design to devalue
any genuine information collected by researchers.
