Exopolitical Comment # 41 - Richard Doty and Project Serpo: "Public Acclimation" or "Deception Program"?
In February 2006, UFO Magazine released an edition that focused on the Project Serpo, an alleged alien exchange program from 1965-1978 that involved twelve US military personnel who traveled to a planet 'Serpo' in the Zeta Reticulum binary constellation. UFO Magazine had a number of statements by some of the key figures involved in this unfolding case. Among these statements was one by Richard Doty, a former Special Agent assigned to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), concerning what he directly experienced during his military service, and how this corroborated parts of the Project Serpo story. Doty is among a group of former 'insiders' with access to classified information on UFOs that have come forward to confirm parts of this alleged alien exchange program leaked by up to three anonymous Defense Intelligence Agency personnel (see: www.serpo.org). Doty is the most prominent of these former insiders due to widespread public knowledge of his former position as an AFOSI 'special agent' assigned with dealing with UFO reports from 1979 to 1988.
Doty's testimony is most revealing since much of it is based on a number of first hand experiences concerning classified information as opposed to the hearsay testimonies of others. Hearsay testimony is easy to manipulate in the hands of skilled intelligence agents participating in an officially sanctioned 'deception program' aimed at misleading researchers, witnesses and the general public over UFOs. Direct personal testimony of classified information directly experienced is far more difficult to manipulate, especially when published in print by an individual such as Doty whose background and credentials are well known. Written statements on what an individual has directly experienced can be checked and any inconsistencies can be found. Consequently, it is useful to examine closely Doty's claims concerning his own personal experiences while responsible for gathering UFO information as an AFOSI special agent, and the extent to which this lends credence to the Project Serpo information. Doty may be participating in an officially sanctioned 'acclimation program' to inform a skeptical public of UFO related information or part of an elaborate 'deception program' designed to mislead the general public and researchers.
Doty began his US Air Force career in 1968 and first trained for the Air Force Security Police and later moved on to other security related positions. He joined the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) in 1979 and retired in 1988. Both his father (Charles Doty) and uncle (Ed Doty) reached the rank of Colonel in the Air Force, and were both involved in investigating UFO reports and were stationed with the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group (Exempt from Disclosure, p. 118). Doty reached the rank of Master Sergeant and upon retirement began a new career as a State Trooper in New Mexico. He more recently finished law school and completed the New Mexico State Bar Exam.
Doty co-authored with Robert Collins, Exempt from Disclosure, a book published in early 2005. In it, Doty describes a number of first hand experiences such as witnessing a large flying saucer at a classified Indian Springs facility in 1969 (p. 67). More significantly, Doty claims that he was given access to a highly classified report that had much UFO related information in it concerning extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs), their communication system and advanced technology (p. 70). Doty further claims that in 1983 he had a face to face meeting at a secure facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico with an extraterrestrial biological entity called EBEN-2 from the constellation Zeta Reticulum:
About five minutes later, in walks a 4'9" non-human looking creature. It was dressed in a tight fitting cream-colored suit. It had no hair was identified to me as EBE-2. EBE-2 sat in a chair across the table from two civilians and the AF Colonel… I listened while the three asked EBE-2 a series of questions pertaining to its home planet (p. 154).
These are all first person experiences by Doty concerning classified UFO related information rather than hearsay. Thus they are significant given Doty's former position as an intelligence agent assigned to UFO investigations. His involvement in UFO investigations has been documented through his signature in official AFOSI complaint forms dating from 1980 (see: http://www.nicap.org/foia_003.htm ).
In his statement published in UFO Magazine, Doty made a number of claims supporting the validity of the Project Serpo information despite a number of anomalies pointed out by critics. He claims that when he started his service at AFOSI he was briefed on a compartment program involving EBEs and alien crashes near Corona and Datil, New Mexico. In Exempt from Disclosure, he described a captured alien from one of these crashes, EBE-1, from the planet "Sieu" in the constellation Zeta Reticulum was in military custody from 1947 until its death in 1952 (p. 70). Doty claims in his statement that in 1984 he was given another briefing where he read a document that "mentioned an exchange program between an alien race and twelve U.S. military personnel" that lasted from 1965-1978. He claims he didn't see the details of this classified project but knew of its existence.
Doty's statement and chapters from Exempt from Disclosure describing his personal experiences with flying saucers, EBEs and classified UFO briefing documents, are startling admissions for a former AFOSI special agent. The information Doty disclosed was by his own admission highly classified and compartmented back in 1984, and certainly still highly classified today. So why would former special agent Doty reveal such classified compartmented information and how accurate is it?
Most UFO researchers aware of Richard Doty know of the unscrupulous role he played in UFO cases involving Paul Bennewitz and Linda Moulton Howe in the 1980's. Doty actively disseminated disinformation to throw these two researchers off the track in their respective UFO investigations. Doty was complicit in the emotional and psychological breakdown of Paul Bennewitz who had befriended and trusted Doty who was disseminating disinformation to discredit Bennewitz (see: http://www.greatdreams.com/Falcon-Richard-Doty.htm ). Furthermore, Howe witnessed a proposed HBO special on UFOs cancelled due to delays in the release of historical film footage that Doty assured Howe was forthcoming. Doty has publicly said that he regrets the actions he performed, but pointed out in his defense that he was under orders and was simply doing his job. In Exempt from Disclosure, he describes the nature of his work as follows: "I was also briefed into another very special (third) program that dealt with safe guarding the Air Force's high technology programs. Among the methods used to safeguard these programs was "disinformation" (p. 70)." Consequently, Doty has verified that the US Air Force disseminates disinformation to UFO researchers who get too close to the truth behind UFOs, and that he actively played a role in this.
In Exempt from Disclosure, Doty states that he disagrees with the official secrecy policy and that he believes the public has a right to know. Presumably, he is now disseminating the kind of UFO information that it was earlier his job to discredit through officially sanctioned 'deception programs' when serving in AFOSI. The obvious question is whether a former intelligence agent who actively participated in 'deception programs' during his military service, continues such a role in private life? More to the point is Doty contributing to a new deception program in the form of Project Serpo, or is he releasing information in accord with his conscience? The fact that Exempt from Disclosure was published in 2005, shortly before the release of the Project Serpo material in November 2005, points to a synchronicity that may be entirely fortuitous or part of a scheduled release of information that is part of 'deception program". Doty describes an officially sanctioned 'deception program' as follows:
The government can keep a secret this long by a number of means. One being, compartmenting the data within the government, or the intelligence community, or they can run deception operations, deceiving the public, or deceiving private UFO groups. They present the groups with faulty information, unbelievable data, which in turn, the groups publish, and are then ridiculed. That misinforms the public, and keeps the government information compartmentalized and protected (p. 86).
In his statement to UFO Magazine, Doty mentions a Colonel Jack Casey, a retired Air Force Intelligence Officer. Doty claims that Casey personally confirmed the Project Serpo information concerning an alien exchange program. Casey claimed that in "1965, twelve U.S. military men were placed on an extraterrestrial spacecraft and flew to an alien planet some 40 light years away." Casey further claimed that the briefing provided by the eight personnel who returned in 1978 is still classified, and that all are currently dead. Here Doty is relating hearsay testimony which he did not personally learn from direct experiences or classified documents.
Much of the information released by Doty in Exempt from Disclosure and his statement to UFO Magazine are based on direct personal experiences of 'flying saucers', EBEs or classified briefing documents. This body of claims needs to be seriously considered given Doty's documented background as an AFOSI special agent responsible for UFO investigations. At the same time, there are many claims based on second or third party stories which are hearsay and require independent corroboration before accepting. These latter claims could be part of an 'acclimation program' based on plausible deniability. Alternatively, these claims based on hearsay could part of a deception program that is occurring since the latter individuals are not able or willing to come forward to publicly confirm their testimonies.
A significant fact concerning Richard Doty and his recent emergence is that he at no time has reported any harassment, intimidation or threats as a consequence of his revelations. This is quite remarkable given that he is revealing highly classified compartment information on topics that appear far more sensitive than released by other whistleblowers who report having been threatened for their revelations. For instance, John Maynard, a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst, has reported a number of threats for releasing far less information that what Doty has revealed about compartmented programs involving EBEs (http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.com/maynard.html ). This suggests that Doty has gained a 'green light' to come forward with his testimony in a possible effort to 'acclimate' the public for future disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence.
Due, however, to Doty's former career in AFOSI and professional involvement in 'deception programs', it is also possible that Doty is participating in an elaborate deception program with his claims that give remarkable support to the Project Serpo material. Something that is suggestive of such a possibility is his repudiation of some passages he authored in Exempt from Disclosure describing his face to face meeting with EBE-2. In a later 'clarification', Doty claimed that he viewed the alleged meeting involving EBE-2 on a video screen and was not in the same room after all: (see http://www.serpo.org/consistencies.html ). This turn around where Doty makes some astounding claims regarding his EBE related experiences, approves the publication of this in print, and then repudiates some important details, suggests his testimony is unreliable. Doty may therefore be participating in a deception program. Nevertheless, given the first hand experiences Doty has revealed, and his former career which is well documented, it is very important to seriously consider what he personally claims to have experienced or read in terms of classified information. Consequently, it can be concluded that Doty's written testimony of what he saw and read concerning classified UFO/EBE related projects is plausible though his tendency to repudiate critical details makes him unreliable. Furthermore, his claims, based on what he was told by other military personnel, need to be regarded as hearsay and not sufficient to corroborate the Project Serpo material.
A third possibility that Doty is a genuine whistleblower following his conscience in the release of classified information is extremely unlikely in the author's view. Doty's military history, the quality of the information he has released, his ability to escape any form of harassment, and repudiating key details of earlier statements, suggest that he is participating either in an officially sanctioned 'acclimation program' or a 'deception program'. Consequently, I will focus on these latter two possibilities with regard to the Serpo project and Doty's role in it. It is now worth examining the testimonies of some of the other main players in the unfolding Serpo information.
Two prominent insiders involved in confirming the Serpo story, and who are most often cited are Gene Lakes (aka Gene Loscowski) and Paul McGovern. Lakes worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 1964-1996, and was an investigator for DIA and then director of security operations (see http://www.ufoconspiracy.com/reports/tom_mack_groomlake.htm ). According to Doty's statement, Paul McGovern was a "former security chief for the Defense Intelligence Agency". Both Lakes and McGovern claim to have had access to a briefing document titled "Project Serpo" that discussed the alien exchange program during their respective military careers. Indeed, McGovern supplies the classification number of the briefing document that they had access to (see: http://www.serpo.org/information.html#1 ). Since both McGovern and Lakes claim to have gained their information from the alleged briefing document, then this is important evidence supporting the existence of the Serpo project. After reflecting on the initial email from Anonymous describing Project Serpo, Lakes/Loscowski wrote:
Most of the information is absolutely correct… To the best of my knowledge, we had 12 men, all military men. Eight USAF, two Army and two Navy guys. I think the females are a red herring. But maybe I just didn't have the clearance for that.… Only eight came back, that much is right. Two died a few years into their assignment on the Visitor's planet. Two others decided to remain and maybe are still alive today. Since their return, all have died. http://www.serpo.org/information.html#1
McGovern responded in a similar manner:
Interesting but not totally correct [commenting on Anonymous's original e-mail].… As for the exchange program: Unauthorized Release of Classified Information, as I see it. But maybe someone currently within our government wants it out. No females were sent. Twelve men, all military. 8 USAF, 2 U.S. Army and 2 U.S. Navy. Two were doctors; three were scientists; two were language specialists; two were security personnel; two were pilots and one was the leader (Colonel-AF) http://www.serpo.org/information.html#1 .
Both McGovern and Lakes confirm vital aspects of the program such as it involving twelve male military personnel who traveled to Planet Serpo, lived on Serpo for over a decade, and only eight of whom returned to Earth.
Along with Doty, McGovern and Lakes are the only individuals who have come forward to publicly confirm the truth of Project Serpo in terms of what they read in classified briefing documents. In addition there is the hearsay testimony of three others who claim to have learned about Project Serpo through classified documents, one is Doty's Colonel Casey who confirmed the Serpo case with Richard Doty. Another is an anonymous retired Colonel of 30 years service who revealed to a serving Lt Col, known only to Bill Ryan [webmaster of the Project Serpo website], that the Project Serpo information is true. The third is Ed Doty who allegedly confirmed various aspects of the Project Serpo story. So far, none of these individuals have or are able to come forward to publicly confirm what has been ascribed to them or to answer questions. In addition, to these insiders, there are also the claims attributed to researchers such as Whitley Strieber and Linda Moulton Howe, both of whom heard hearsay testimony confirming various aspects of Project Serpo.
Finally, there are the two or three DIA anonymous sources responsible for the initial disclosures of Project Serpo. All remain anonymous and their credentials and credibility cannot be checked. Consequently, the strongest support for the Project Serpo story come from the three individuals who have publicly stated that they learned about it through classified briefing documents: Doty, McGovern and Lakes. All three are former intelligence officials, as are the three others whose hearsay testimony has been attributed to them: Doty's Col Casey, Ryan's anonymous Col, and Ed Doty. Consequently, it is possible to conclude that all may have been co-opted into a covert 'acclimation program' or 'deception program'.
My overall conclusion is that Doty's statement to UFO Magazine gives the Project Serpo information a boost insofar as he confirms the core story of an alien exchange program that was described in a classified briefing document. Doty's documented involvement in UFO investigations makes his testimony significant, although his ability to repudiate statements he has authored does give some concern about the reliability of his testimony. Project Serpo is also supported in the testimonies of McGovern and Lakes who apparently also learned of it through classified briefing documents. Nevertheless, their respective careers with the DIA and the DIA affiliations of the two/three anonymous sources responsible for the Project Serpo information does raise the possibility that they are part of a DIA orchestrated deception program.
Despite support for the core story of Serpo from three former insiders who have publicly emerged to confirm its truth based on classified briefing documents, there are many questionable details that raise considerable doubt of the veracity of the Project Serpo material. Details such as alleged flight logs, scientific information about Serpo and its binary star system that involves numerous inconsistencies, the anonymous nature of the leaked information and other inconsistencies, has raised much skepticism of the Project Serpo material. For example, in my own analysis of the alleged flight logs detailing alleged communications between the EBEs and the human team I found a number of anomalies that suggest the logs are fictitious (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exopolitics/message/274 ). Given the number of insiders who have come forward to support Serpo and/or communicated anonymously with researchers to confirm Project Serpo, this is a story that has the potential to either 'inform' or 'disinform' a great number of people about covert government projects involving EBEs. In short, Project Serpo may be an officially sanctioned acclimation program or deception program orchestrated by the DIA. A third possibility is that Project Serpo is both an acclimation program designed to partially inform us about an alleged alien exchange program, while sowing disinformation that can mislead UFO/exopolitics researchers and the general public that support the ongoing disclosures concerning an alleged Planet Serpo that briefly housed 12 military personnel from 1965 to 1978 in an EBE exchange program.

Aloha all, here's a reply to a recent posting by Bill Ryan who is
circulating information allegedly about a human military team to
Planet Serpo.
Bill's website is http://www.serpo.org/
Aloha,

****
Thank you Bill for forwarding this and the second part of the log
entries after the team's alleged landing on Project Serpo. I have to
admit to being disappointed with what I read since I thought this was
possibly a genuine disclosure initiative where there may have been a
little disinformation thrown in to maintain plausible deniability. I
now see the Serpo information more in lines of a fictionalized version
of events that has far less accurate information in it than I
previously thought. The main reason for my changed position is the
communication modalities discussed in the log entries between the EBEs
and the human team. It is reported that they communicate via
translators, and that the EBEs communicate among themselves by speech.
Furthermore, we are also told that the EBEs are capable of above light
speed travel which accounts for the rapid flight time between Earth
and Serpo. The problem is that in all the whistleblower and
experiencer testimonies I have read, the EBEs are generally described
in terms of communicating through telepathy, and that the
thought-technology interface plays a critical role in above light
speed travel.
The most reliable source for these conclusions is the testimony of
Philip Corso who discussed his recollections of the mind-technology
interface used by the EBEs. He argues that this is the principle
behind the propulsion and navigation systems used by the EBEs, and
that this is also a part of their communication system. Similarly
whistleblowers such as Clifford Stone and Charles Hall report about
the telepathic communication modalities used by EBEs, where
communication by verbal speech is not common among the EBEs. When we
examine the Betty and Barney Hill case, generally accepted as the
first reliable case of human abduction by EBEs, we again have the
Hill's reports of telepathic communication by EBEs. Furthermore, Betty
Hill identified the star system of Zeta Reticulum as the home of the
EBEs which gives us an idea of the communication modalities of the
EBEs from Zeta Reticulum or any planet in it such as the alleged Serpo.
I have difficulty recalling the testimony of any 'whistleblower' or
'experiencer' who communicates that EBEs only communicate verbally as
described in the Serpo logs. If one reads Sci Fi books, one see that
most authors describe EBEs as communicating verbally which is clearly
an anthropomorphic generalization. When it comes to the real thing,
verbal communication among EBEs is very rare from the reports of
whistleblowers/experiencers. In fact, I would argue that any EBE
capable of greater than light speed travel must have the necessary
telepathic abilities to control the advanced technologies necessary
for this modality of transportation. This is something that Corso
discussed as the stumbling block of reverse engineering EBE craft
since the pilot was a necessary part of the propulsion/navigation systems.
This takes me to the material that you've circulated below. In
numerous passages we are told that the EBE's communicate in an EBEN
langague, and that a translator is needed for human-EBEN
communication. The striking clue for me as to the veracity of the
Serpo material is the alleged puzzlement of the EBE translatoer,
EBE-2, who often has difficulty understanding the intent of the human
team member communicating. For example, we have passages such as:
"I ask her abet the creature we saw, I ask if that was some other type
of Eben. Ebe2 seems confused. She asked me what creature. I used the
word creature. Maybe that was an insult or maybe she didn't know the
word. I pointed to the thing at the other end of the building. She
then saw what I meant. Ebe2 said, no Eben, just visitor. Like you,
pointing to me."
If we take as an axiom that any greater than light speed faring EBE
civilization has developed telepathic abilities, necessary for
controlling the navigation/propulsion systems, what occurred above
would make little sense. Telepathic abilities from all accounts I've
researched are a reliable means of communicating ideas and concepts so
it would be extremely unlikely that a genuinely telepathic being would
be confused so often as reported in the logs. Again, the reports from
numerous whistleblowers and experiencers are that the EBEs read the
minds of their human subjects and either reply back telepathically or
in a verbal manner.
Then we have passages referring to EBEs communicating verbally in an
EBE language:
"Many Ebens are inside. They look at us with some glares. But we
just walk in and around. One Eben comes up to us and speaks but in
Eben. He seems to be telling us something. He points to the ceiling
and then to our heads. Maybe he is telling us to cover our heads. We
must find Ebe2."
Again, most reports by whistleblowers/experiencers are that EBEs
communicate telepathically and silence is the common situation when
around them. Travis Walton for example tried to communicate verbally
with the human looking EBEs that allegedly were a part of his
'abduction' experience, yet they did not reply verbally and
communicated among themselves in silence.
After noting the repeated references to the communication modalities
used by the EBEs, and no mention of telepathic communication, I would
have to conclude that the Serpo information is a fictionalized account
of a human EBE team traveling to Serpo. Perhaps the author/sources are
trying to fill in the details by fictionalizing what might have
happened in a genuine human team traveling to Serpo. In my view the
communication modalities described in the Serpo logs are a clue that
this is largely fictionalized account by an author of some events that
may have occurred. While there may be some truth to an actual human
team traveling to planet Serpo in the system of Zeta Reticulum, the
alleged log entries that have been circulated are fictionalized
accounts of what happened. This gives me much less confidence in the
veracity of the Serpo material that is being released, and the
integrity of the sources releasing this information.
Aloha, Michael Salla
Dear All –
I post this new information without comment apart from pointing out
that the first piece is the day after the team landed, while the
second (which follows next) is eighteen months into their mission. All
typos are uncorrected.
Best wishes, Bill
*******************************
We had a serious problem. How do we explain our science to an alien
entity, who doesn't know Einstein, Kepler or any of the other
scientists of our time. Simple mathematics, seems so foreign to them.
Ebe2 is the smart one. She seems to understand our language more
than 1 and 2. She even seems to understand our basic math. We
started with the basic math. 2 plus 2. Then progressed on. She
understood and even caught on so quick that she continued on without
our help. We realize she has a great IQ when she repeated 1000 times
1000 and came up with an answer. We showed her our slide rule. It
took her a couple of minutes to figure it out, although I don't think
she fully understood all the symbols on the slide rule. She is really
something. We found a personality in her. Maybe because we have more
contact with her than the others. She is very warm hearted, one can
just sense that in her. She really cares about us and she even
worries about us. During our first night, she seemed to make sure
everything was just right for us. She warned us of the heat and the
light. She mentioned that SERPO does not get dark, like earth. I
wonder how she knew that? Has she visited earth? Maybe she is just
educated on earth's properties. Maybe they have books about earth.
Anyway, on the first night, she told us about the winds, what winds.
Gusty winds start just when the one sun sets. The other sun does not
but stays in the lower horizon. The winds blow dust, free dust into
our huts. We had a very difficult first night. We call it night but
it seems that the Ebens just call it a period of their day. Ebe3 knew
the word day but didn't compare it to earth's day. Maybe she hasn't
been to earth. We didn't sleep well during our night. The Eben's
don't sleep, like we do. They seem to rest for periods of time and
then wake and go about their business, whatever that might be, When we
awoke, Ebe2 was there, outside our hut. I opened the door and she was
waiting. Why? How did she know we were awake? Maybe the huts are
being monitored by some sensor. Ebe2 told us to follow her to the
eating place. She didn't use the word dining hall or chow hall or
facility. She used the word place. Once I gathered the team, we
walked across the village, I'll call it a village for the sake of
wording. We entered a large building. It seemed to be large, based
on the small stature of the Ebens. There were food on tables. I
guess we'd call this place a chow hall. Ebens looked at us but
carried on eating. Do they not cook inside their huts? Maybe everyone
eats here. We walked to the food tables. Same food we saw and ate on
the spaceship except some items were different. They bad large bowls
of something like fruits. Strange looking things. They also had
something like cottage cheese, it tasted like sour milk but after the
initial taste, alright. I encouraged each team member to eat and
drink. We might as well get use to the food. But 700 tells us to eat
just one of their meals a day and stick to our C-rations for the other
meals. That way, our system will adjust to the Eben food. We sat at
a table, small compared to our standards and ate. The Ebens
numbering, probably about 100, just ate and didn't really bother us.
Every now and then, we would catch Ebens staring at us. But we were
the freaks, not them. We are the visitors. We are the aliens. We
must really look strange to them. We all look different, they all
look the same. How can they compare us to them? They can't. We
stare at them, they stare at us. We then see a different looking
Eben. Very strange looking creature, large, long arms, almost floats
along with long legs. Can't be an Eben. We all stare. This creature
just floats by us and didn't even look at us. I find Ebe2. She is
eating with three others. Once I approach her, she stands and almost
bows her head towards me. Maybe just a greeting, have to remember
that. I ask her abet the creature we saw, I ask if that was some
other type of Eben. Ebe2 seems confused. She asked me what creature.
I used the word creature. Maybe that was an insult or maybe she
didn't know the word. I pointed to the thing at the other end of the
building. She then saw what I meant. Ebe2 said, no Eben, just
visitor. Like you, pointing to me. Ok, I see, they have other alien
visitors here. I guess we are not the only ones. I then asked Ebe2
what planet did that visitor come from? Ebe2 said, something like
CORTA, not sure of the exact work although I asked her to repeat it
twice. Ok, where is CORTA? She walks me to a television, at least it
looks like one. It is positioned in the corner of the building. It is
set up like some type of command station. She places her finger on
the glass and something appears. The universe? Star systems. I
don't recognize any of them. She points to a spot and says CORTA.
Ok, where is earth? She points to another spot and says earth. Based
on this television glass space map, CORTA and earth are very close.
But I don't know the scale of this map. Maybe they are a trillion
miles apart or maybe 10 light years. But they seem close. I'll have
to have one of the scientists look at this and see. Ok, I thank Ebe2.
She seems pleased. She almost looks like a angel. She seems so very
nice. She touched my hand and pointed to my table and said, eat.
Good eat? I laughed and said, yes, good chow hall food. She looked
puzzled. I guess she doesn't know what a chow hall is. I pointed to
the building and said, chow hall, earth eating place. She repeated
what I said, chow hall, earth eating place. I laughed and walked
away. Now she will think all earth restaurants are called chow halls.
We retuned to our huts. We must get better organized. We have a
meeting. Everyone seems ok. We wonder about latrines, Where do we
relieve ourselves. Ebe1 comes by, almost as if he was reading our
minds, maybe they can even do that. He tells shows us pot in hut. We
all wondered what that was. Ok, that is our latrine. Realized that
won't work very well but we'll do what we can. Then we realize the
pot has some sort of chemical inside. Our wastes are dissolved or
something like that. Can't really tell. Each of the four huts have
one. That will work for the time being. Ebe2 tells us to walk on
ground. Not sure what he means by that but 420 says that might we to
just walk around. Ok, that we will do. I organize the teams102 will
remain with 225. I want 633 and 661 to look at the television glass
map and see if they can tell which star system is CORTA. I ask 518 to
take temperature readings and general weather observations. I know it
is hot. Very hot. Most be over 140 degrees. 754 warns us to keep
covered from sun radiation. 754 says radiation levels are high.
Doesn't sound very good to me. This reminds me of Nevada. 1956,
during one of the atomic bomb testing. We had hot weather and we had
to worry about the radiation from the atomic blasts. Now we are on a
strange planet 40 light years from earth and we have radiation and
heat. But we have to explore that is why we were sent. We starting
walking around 475 will take photographs with our military cameras. I
hope the film is affected by the radiation. How do we develop it?
Maybe we didn't think of everything. I team up with 225. We walk to a
large open door building. We walk in and it looks like a classroom
but no Ebens are here. There is a large television tube, it takes up
the entire wall. There are some lights flashing on this television
tube. We examine the tube. It is very thin. I wonder how it works.
Where are the tubes or the electronics. But maybe they are more
advanced in this area than us. They must be. We don't find touch
else in this building. We move on, wow, it is so very hot, I hope l
get use to it. We find a large tower. Looks like a antenna tower but
it has a large mirror. We saw this when we first arrived yesterday.
We find an Eben standing near the door but he moves to one side. We
ask him if he understands English. He just stares at us but seems
friendly. I guess he doesn't speak English. We move on into the
building, Can't find any stairs. But we see some type of round glass
room. Maybe it is an elevator. Then we hear English. We turn around
and find Ebe2 standing there. Where did she come from? I her if we
may explore this building. She said yes, of course, She points to the
glass room and says go up. Ok, we enter the glass room. The glass
door closes and go up real fast. I no time we are at the top. But
what is this. We ask Ebe2, what is this. She points to the sun and
then points to the top of the room, where the mirror is located. She
then points to the ground. Ok, we see it. The tower is in the middle
of a circle. The circle is situated on the ground. In each quadrant
of the circle is a symbol. I see that the sun is directed through the
mirror maybe this isn't a mirror as we know it since the sunlight
travels through it, but once the sunlight travels through it, the
light is directed on a symbol within the circle. Ebe2 says that when
light contacts symbol then Ebens make change. Not sure what that
means. Maybe she means it tells the Ebens what to do. 225 seems to
think it is a sun dial. When the sun strikes a symbol, the Ebens
change what they are doing and do something else. Maybe the Eben day
is structured. Or maybe this is their clock. Strange. But we are on
an alien planet. I'm glad I still have my sense of humor. This is
only our first day, first day of school. We have a lot to learn. We
have to keep an open mind. We can't keep comparing things to earth.
We have to open our minds to new ideas and new science. All these
things are foreign to us but we must learn. I pointed to my wristwatch
and then pointed to the ground and in a gesture to show Ebe2 that the
two items are time pieces. Not sure if she understood. But I said
time and she then understood.. Yes, she said, Eben time, pointing to
the ground. I pointed again to the wristwatch and said, earth time.
Ebe2 then almost smiled and said, no, no earth time on SERPO. Ok,
that makes sense. 225 said, she just told us that earth time doesn't
work on SERPO. Yes, I guess she did. What good is our watches or
time device here? They don't work. We have to start using Eben time.
But we must also maintain our time because we must know when to
leave. Ten years seem like a million. Maybe based on Eben time that
it might just be a million years. Lets hope not. No time to think
about home, we have a mission and duties to perform. We are a
military team and we must maintain that idea. 225 and myself go back
into the glass bowl and go down to the ground. We walk onto another
building, large again. Inside we find rolls and rolls of plants.
This must be some sort of greenhouse, They are growing food. Many
Ebens are inside. They look at us with some glares. But we just walk
in and around. One Eben comes up to us and speaks but in Eben. He
seems to be telling us something. He points to the ceiling and then
to our heads. Maybe he is telling us to cover our heads. We must find
Ebe2. We go back outside and then finds Ebe2, she always seems to be
near. Now we understand why, she is monitoring us by the devices we
are wearing on our belts. I ask Ebe2 what is that building. She says
food making place. Ok, maybe we contaminated the place. We told her
that another Eben spoke to us and then pointed to our heads. Ebe2
seemed confused and walked back into the building with us. The same
Eben exchanged words with Ebe2. Ebe2 then told us that we must wear a
cover on our heads in order to enter. Why? But we don't argue. This
other Eben produces some sort of cloth had and we wear it. We walk
about, the Eben seemed happy, We look at their plants. They are
growing food in soil. They have a watering system. They also have
some sort of transparent cloth over each plant. I point to the
watering system and ask Ebe2, if that is water, drinking water. Ebe2
said yes. Then she senses we are thirsty. Ebe2 leads us to a place
near another entrance and offers us water, at least we think it is
water. Tastes like chemicals but it is water. Actually tastes good.
Part 2.
The leader of the Ebens is a larger creature than the others. He
seems to be more aggressive than the other Ebens. When I write
aggressive, I don't me in a hostile way. He seems to be the boss,
similar to me, as the team commander. His voice, although after all
this time, I still can't understand any words, is harsh and with a
tone that is different from the rest. 203 claims the leader has an
attitude. I agree. He is extremely friendly to us and has
accommodated all our requests. The leader has requested many things
from us. Most of which, we have provided. One strange thing is our
blood. He wanted all of us to supply a blood samples. Ebe2 explained
that the blood or health fluid as Ebe2 explained it, was necessary for
them to supply any medicine to us if we should ever need it. 700 and
754 feels that a blood sample might just be used for other purposes.
We have allowed the Ebens to utilize 308's body for experiments. They
took all 308s blood, that was without my approval. I wrote about that
in log 3888. We had a very tense situation with the Ebens about that.
When we traveled to the building housing 308s body, we were
confronted by several Ebens. Ebe1 showed up and I explained that we
wanted the body of 308. Ebe 1 told us the body was in storage and we
could not take it. We told Ebe 1 that we will take it. The eleven of
us walked by the Ebens, numbering six and walked into the building.
They did not attempt to stop us. While inside, we could not open any
of the containers. There was some type of system, maybe crypto style,
that was being used to lock the containers. We did find the container
housing 308's body. We decided to send 899 to our storage area and
get some explosives to open the container. Ebe2 showed up with the
leader. Ebe2 was extremely polite and asked us to wait. She used the
word please several times. In fact, she actually used the English
word beg. We backed off and I told Ebe2 that we wanted our friends
body and we wanted to examine it. Ebe2 translated that to the leader.
There was a long exchange of words between the two. Finally, Ebe2,
who seemed very frustrated told us that the leader would like us to go
to another location and speak with another Eben, a doctor, about the
body of 308. Ebe2 explained that everything wanted to know about
308's body would be explained to us by the Eben doctor, who Ebe2 said
spoke English. I told Ebe 2 that I would leave 899 and 754 here to
guard the body and I would take the others to the location containing
the doctor. Ebe2 translated that to the leader. Again, there was a
long drawn out exchange of words between the two. It lasted for
several minutes. Finally, Ebe2 stated that the leader would like all
of us to leave this building and go to visit with the doctor. I told
Ebe2, no, I would not leave the body of 308 alone. I felt that this
was going to be a confrontation. I told 518 and 420 to go back,
obtain our handguns and come back ASAP. I was not going to allow the
Ebens to counterman my decisions. When Ebe2 heard this, she told me
to wait and placed her hand against my chest. I told her to translate
that to the leader. Again, there were several minutes of word
exchanges between the two. Ebe2 then stated that the leader would
bring the doctor here to discuss the situation with us. Ebe2 asked me
to please don't send your men for guns. Guns are not needed, we can
settle this without guns. Please don't. I told Ebe2 that we would
not get the guns but we would not leave until we saw 308's body. The
leader did something with the communication device on his belt. About
20 minutes later, three Ebens showed up inside this building. One of
the Ebens, who identified himself as a doctor and who spoke very good
English. This doctor had a strange sounding voice, almost like a
human's voice. This doctor did not have a high pitch accent, like
Ebe1 and Ebe2. I was very impressed with this doctor. I just wonder
where he has been for these past 18 months. We have never saw him
before. This doctor told us that 308s body was not inside the
container. The Ebens have done experiments with 308s body because
they considered it an honor to have such a specimen to work with. The
doctor told us they have used 308s body to create a type of cloned
human being. I stopped the doctor at this point. I told the doctor
that the body of my teammate was the property of the United States of
America, planet Earth. The body did not belong to the Ebens. I did
not authorized any experiments on the body of 308. I explained that
humans consider a body to be religious. Only I could have authorized
the use of 308s body for experiments. I demanded to see the body.
This doctor explained the body was gone. This doctor said all the
blood, body organs were taken out and used to clone other beings. The
use of the word beings really scared me and the others. 899 became
extremely angry. He called the doctor curse names. I ordered 899 to
be quiet. I then told 203 to take 899 out of the building. I
realized this matter could really blossom into a major incident. I
could not allow that to happen. There were just eleven of us and we
realized that if the Ebens wanted to imprison us or kill us, they
could do it very easily. But I didn't think the Ebens would resort to
such behavior. I was not going to allow this incident to advance into
something worse. I realized there wasn't much we could do about what
the Ebens have done with 308s body. Ebe2 looked very upset. Ebe2
told me that everyone should be nice, she repeated the word nice many
times. Ebe2 did not want this matter to escalate. I kind of felt
sorry for Ebe2. She was trying to mediate the matter. 203 suggested
we return to our living quarters and have a team meeting. I told the
leader that I did not want any further interference between whatever
is left of 308s body and experiments. I pointed my finger towards the
leader's face. Ebe2 translated, along with the doctor. The doctor,
who was extremely straightforward, told me that nothing further would
happen with the body, but advised me very little was left of the body.
Ebe2 then told me the leader was concerned that we were upset. That
we were their guests. That the leader was upset that we were
offended. The leader did not wish to upset us and promised that
nothing further would happen to the body. I thanked Ebe2 and had her
rely that to the leader. We returned to out huts. Everyone was
upset, especially 899. I told each member to calm down. I explained
our situation, as if each team member didn't already realize it, that
we were only eleven military personnel. We had no way of fighting the
Ebens. We did not come 40 light years to start a war with the Ebens.
A war we could not win. We could not even win a simple fist fight
with the Ebens. Yes, maybe we could beat them up but what then. We
have to realize out situation and act accordingly. I ordered each
member to reconsider the situation and to except the facts about 308s
body. I told 633 and 700 to investigate this cloning procedure with
the English speaking Eben doctor. Lets get all the facts about what
they did with the body and what we can find out about the body and the
Ebens experiments with the body.
Ebe2 came to the hut. I told Ebe2 that 633 and 700 were going to
examine what was left of 308s body. They would also conduct research
into the Ebens experiments done on 308s body. Ebe2 look very
concerned. It is sometimes difficult for us, even after the time we
have been on this planet, to determine the meaning of facial
expressions on Ebens face. Ebe2 replied that she must first obtain
approval, approval was a new word for Ebe2. She was must reading or
learning our language. Maybe she is just picking up our words. I told
Ebe2 that she can go get permission but that we were told when we
arrived that we did not have any restrictions on where we went. Ebe2
said she would speak with the leader. 633 and 700 gathered test
equipment and prepared themselves for the examination of the Eben
laboratory. According to our time devices, Ebe2 came back about 80
minutes later. Ebe2 said it was alright for my men to visit their
laboratory. I decided that I would also visit it. Myself, 633 and
700 were escorted by Ebe2 to the laboratory facility. We had to be
taken by the helitransport device, as we call their helicopters. It
took us sometime before arriving at this location. According to our
compass readings, which are not really a compass reading but we made
points of references and according to them, we traveled north. The
facility was large, by Eben standards. The building looked like a
large single story windowless school. We landed on the roof, or maybe
just a landing zone on the roof. We were escorted down a walkway or
ramp. They don't have ladders on this planet. I think I wrote about
this in one of my past entries. They have ramps. We arrived in a
room. White walls. We then walked through a hallway into another
larger room. We met our English speaking doctor. We saw many other
Ebens, all dressed in a bluish colored one piece suit. Different from
their ordinary suits I spoke of in past entries. The doctor told us
that all the experiments done inside this building, he didn't call it
a laboratory, just a building, is done to create cloned beings. We
were lead into another room, where there were rolls of containers,
looking like glass bathtubs. Inside each bathtub were bodies. I was
shocked, as were 700 and 754. Bodies. Strange looking bodies. Not
human bodies, at least not all of them. We started walking down the
space between the tubs. We looked into the tubs. These were hideous
looking creatures. I asked the doctor what type of creatures were
inside these tubs. The doctor told us that these creatures came from
other planets. 700 asked the doctor were these creatures dead when
they arrived? Or did the Ebens bring them here dead. The doctor said
all the creatures were brought to the planet alive. 700 asked if the
creatures were kidnaped or brought here against their wishes. The
doctor was not sure of the word kidnaped. The doctor seemed puzzled.
The doctor asked about the question. 700 said that these creatures
were taken from another planet and brought to serpo without permission
from them or their leaders of their planet. The doctor said that
these beings were brought here for experiments. These creatures are
not intelligent beings. Ebe2 then used the word animals. Ok, now I
understand. All these creatures are animals from other planets. The
doctor didn't seem to understand the word animal. Ebe2 and the doctor
exchanged words in Eben and the doctor then said, yes, they are
animals. I then asked if there were any intelligent creatures in this
building. The doctor said, yes, but that all of them were dead when
they arrived on serpo. 700 asked to see these creatures. The doctor
corrected 700 by saying beings. Ok, I guess creatures are animals and
beings are like humans. Let me first write down the description of
these creatures inside these tubs. They are not all alike. The first
creature I see inside the tub looks like a porcupine. It appears to
have a tube placed inside of it. The tube leads to a box underneath
the tub. The second creature I see looks like a monster. It has a
large head, big deep set eyes, no ears, a mouth, but no teeth. It is
about five feet long and has two lower legs but no feet. It has two
arms but it doesn't appear to have any elbows. It has hands but no
fingers. This creature also has a tube going through it. The next
creature looked like nothing I can compare it to. It had blood red
skin, two spots in the middle, maybe eyes. No arms or legs. It had a
very strange odor. The skin appeared to be blotchy with scales.
Maybe like a fish. Maybe it is a fish. The next creature was human
like. But the skin was white, not skin white, the color white. The
skin was wrinkled. The head was large, with two eyes, two ears and a
mouth. The neck was very small. The head almost looked as if it sat
on the lower torso. The chest was thin, with large bone like
protrusions. The arms were curled, with hands but no thumbs. The
legs were also curled with feet but only three toes. I couldn't look
at anymore creatures. We walked down another hallway, through a room,
down a ramp, into another room. We came into a room that looked like
a hospital room. There were many beds, or at least sometime of bed,
Eben style bed. I described them before. In each bed was a living
being, as the doctor called it. The doctor told us that each being
was alive and well cared for. 700 asked the doctor if these beings
were ill or sick. Ebe2 had to translate that but the doctor said, no,
they are being lived. The three of us seemed really stunned by that
word lived. I asked Ebe2 what the doctor meant. Ebe2 exchanged words
with the doctor. Ebe2 then used the word grown. 700 asked the doctor
if these were the cloned beings that he mentioned before. The doctor
said yes that each being was being grown, using the same word as Ebe2
just used. 754 asked the doctor if these beings were being grown like
a plant. The doctor said yes that is a good comparison. 700 asked
the doctor how are they grown. The doctor said that certain parts of
other beings were used to grow these beings. The doctor said he could
not explain the process in English because he didn't know the words.
700 then asked Ebe2 if she could explain the growing process. Ebe2
said she did not know the English words. Ebe2 said that parts of the
blood and other organs are used to mix a substance that is placed
inside the bodies of these beings. That was all Ebe2 could explain in
English. I told 700 to go back and get 420 and bring them back.
While we waited for 420, we looked at these beings. They were
breathing. They looked like humans, most of them. Two of the beings
on the end looked like humans with dog heads. These beings were not
awake. They were either sleeping or drugged. 420 returned. I told
420 to see if he could translate the method used to grow these beings.
420 then spoke with Ebe2. 420 is really good. However long we have
been hear, some guess about 18 months earth time, 420 learned the
language well. 420 then said that the growing process involved cells
taken from other beings, grown and mixed with chemicals and then
inserted into the bodies of other beings. That was about all 420 could
explain. 420 did not know the words Ebe2 used. But the word cells
were used. Ebe2 then told me that some things were taken from inside
the cells. 700 and 754 then asked if the item take from inside the
cells were cell membranes or identification markers for the cells.
Ebe2 translated that to the doctor. Both seemed confused and said
they could not explain the process because they did not know the
English words for it. 700 used the word advance biological extraction
of the cell membranes. But neither Ebe2 or the doctor knew anything
about that process. I asked 754 if he might understand what they were
doing. 754 said that human cells contain smaller substance that can
identify the structure with the membranes of the cell. This isn't
something that earth technology has advance but 754 has read about it
prior to leaving. But 754 doesn't think that earth technology can be
used to grown living cells into what the Ebens have done. The Ebens
must have found a way to grow cells and to make them into living
beings. 700 and 754 said nothing like his is known on earth. I then
asked the doctor if 308s body was used to create a being. The doctor
said yes, and showed us the being. I was shocked, as was 700 and 754.
This being, with our teammates blood and cells, looked like a large
Eben. But the hands and legs were similar to humans. How could they
have grown this being so quick. Obviously, this is well above our
intelligence. I saw all I wanted to see. I told the doctor that we
would like to leave. Ebe2 saw that I was upset and touched my hand.
Instantly, I felt concern. Ebe2 was really concerned about what I
saw. Ebe2 said we leave. We traveled outside this building, a
building that I did not wish to see again. I saw the dark side of
this civilization. The Ebens are not the humane civilization we
thought they were. But I must say they didn't hide anything. The
doctor spoke straight to us. Just like the Ebens. They don't know
how to lie. Seeing what we saw will change our impression of the
Ebens as long as we stay on this planet.

So Star Trek is actually correct in the physics here when Picard says "Engage" and the Enterprise goes into warp and no one bats an eyelash. Remember Paul Hill is writing the above before Alcubierre came out with his warp drive where the occupants of the Star Ship are in "free float" on a local inertial timelike geodesic even though the effective global motion relative to distant asymptotic observers is superluminal. The UFO propellantless "thrust" reaction-force field opposing d'Alembert's "inertia force". p. 146 The d'Alembertian "inertia force" is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction, to the "thrust reaction- force" that is the UFO's mass multiplied by its acceleration. In other words, the UFO/Starship is using a (post?)quantum geometrodynamic controllable force field that is repulsive rather than attractive. This repulsion is due to a small-scale ultra- large "cosmological constant" that is manipulated at the nano-meter level IMHO. We have a new application of Galileo's principle, and Einstein's equivalence principle, here. The inhomogeneous tidal forces that are dangerous to the occupants and structural integrity of the UFO are kept small over the scale of the vehicle. Since this thrust is geometrodynamic, though repulsive, all the atoms feel it equally within the safe range where the tidal forces are biologically insignificant. All matter feels the thrust in the same way exactly the same as when a feather and an iron ball fall with the same acceleration in the vacuum on the surface of the Moon as shown in the Apollo 14 Mission.
