EISENHOWER’S ALIEN CONTACT…
This report is a follow-up to my “Briefing Paper” blog which tells of President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestials that occured in February of 1954 at Edwards (MUROC) AFB. Thanks to Art Campell’s research, it appears Eisenhower participated in a second contact a year later in 1955 at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. Here is that account…
[Ike's 1955 Holloman AFB Contact with Aliens... Excerpts from research by Art Campbell. www.ufocrashbook.com]
“On February 9, 1955, Eisenhower announced to the press that he was going to Georgia for a few days. He left on Feb. 10th at 1:00 p.m. from Andrews AFB with a party of six. A chartered planeload of journalists from all major networks accompanied him. The planeload of press was with Ike because of international tensions. The Russians were having a major leadership upheaval and the Red Chinese were making moves towards Formosa. Ike and party arrived at his destination, Thomasville GA, about 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 10th, hunted quail for an hour, and retired to his guest cottage. Less than 24 hours later, President Eisenhower showed up at Holloman AFB. Ike was out of the press view for some 36 hours. James Hagerty, his press secretary, told the press that Ike and his valet were “treating a case of the sniffles.”
The source of Ike’s visit to Holloman comes from an ex-airman stationed at the base hospital. The airman wrote a seven-page letter to UFO investigator/ speaker Art Campbell, delineating the details of Ike’s visit and some of the activities while there.
The Columbine III, Ike’s Air Force One at the time, landed at Holloman around 9:00 a.m. on Feb. 11th. By previous arrangement, the plane taxied and parked on an active runway. A short time later a UFO was seen to land in front of Air Force One. A man presumed to be Ike left the parked plane and walked to the UFO. A meeting of some 45 minutes took place and then he returned to the plane. Another UFO was seen hovering over the flight line while the meeting was going on.
The details are sketchy, but Ike was at the base until 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. when his plane left. Hundreds saw it. Ike and the base commander spoke to several hundred military and civilian workers on the base and at a hangar and in the base theater. The airman listed the names of eight witnesses to this event. Other witnesses are being sought by investigator Art Campbell.
“There were a dozen visual patrols out around the base and some of the up-range small radars were on, but the larger base Doppler radar had been shut down by orders from Washington. A phone rang in the tower with a report of two unidentified objects passing over Range Road 12. Then a minute later the bogies were over Range Road 7 only a few minutes from the runways. Men in the tower swung their glasses to the north in the morning haze.
Then something glinted in the sun, then something else just below it. A report came in of a third bogie five minutes behind the first two. The tower personnel who did not know what these were, were stunned. No tail, no wings, no motors. Just round objects approaching the president’s plane sitting alone on the far runway with a covey of base officers in the tower, including Col. Sharp. They knew something big was up. They reported the objects, logged them and did their job which was “business as usual.”
The two objects stopped about 300 ft. over Air Force One, and one descended on the far side of the plane and gently touched about 200 feet ahead of the plane. The other hovered briefly and then came across the near runway towards the big hangars and some shop buildings. It took up a position somewhere above the buildings over the tarmac. The disc had a good vantage point of anything that might come towards the president’s plane and the disc on the ground.
A brief look at the public view of UFOs in 1955 would not cause any eyestrain. Only a few scattered newspaper reports since 1947 had made national news, and in those days the military were likely to be believed when they released cover stories. Kenneth Arnold had seen only reflections. Everyone got a chuckle at the Roswell balloon story, and the blips seen on radar and over the White House in July of 1952….. Just ‘sea gulls’.
Donald Keyhoe was just getting the NICAP idea started and several books by Scully and Adamski were considered just men’s magazine sensationalism. So it was with some disbelief that two UFOs had come to Holloman AFB in Feb. of 1955. There was little background for believing in them at all as extraterrestrial. Some who saw or heard about the two craft at the base that day thought they might be new German innovations. Some thought they were ours others thought they might be Russian.
German scientists assigned to supervise missile launches in Operation Paperclip at the near by White Sands Proving Grounds were highly respected, and some German scientists were working in various labs at Holloman. “Business as usual” may have been the motto for the day, but many of those with a vantage point had someone reporting what could be seen. Soon after the UFO landed in front of Air Force One, a man many assumed to be the President, came to the doorway of the plane, descended the portable stairs and approached the saucer on the ground.
Some sort of a hatch had been opened a few minutes before and had folded down to become a small ramp. The man walked up the ramp, stood briefly at the opening, shook hands with someone, and went inside. Observers thought the period of time to be about 45 minutes. When he emerged from the craft, he walked towards Air Force One. Part of this time he was facing the observers, and most were sure it was Ike.”
“What was Arthur Godfrey doing on the president’s plane?
The Godfrey TV shows helped define at least the first decade of 1950s television and radio. Godfrey was associated with his weekly Talent Scout and Arthur Godfrey and his Friends, both variety shows on CBS TV. Both shows were watched by millions and finished in the top ten for most every year in the 1950s. However, Godfrey’s star faded somewhat in the late 1950s as his human interest variety shows gave way to action and comedy shows beginning to made in Hollywood. But in February of 1955, his shows and his persona were very high on the TV producers’ and viewers’ lists.
Godfrey was a rather kindly, freckled-faced grandfatherly type with a folksy Will Rogers-type persona and delivery. He was very calming, as he introduced his clean-cut singers and guest stars. He was a skilled host and pitchman. He was credited with introducing such up-and-coming stars as Julius LaRosa, the McGuire Sisters, Pat Boone and a very popular group in those days, called the Toppers. He was TV’s first super salesman.
The Museum of Broadcast Communications said, “He only sold from the heart.” His sales pitches sounded like “he was confiding in you alone. Godfrey’s rich warm resonant descriptions of products he had personally tried caused many to go out and purchase what he endorsed.” He also played the ukulele on occasion, and sang for his audience.
What was the one and only indomitable Arthur Godfrey doing on the president’s plane? Was he there to do a monologue, play his uke and do a soft shoe in the aisle? He was not seated with Ike or his social guests in the main passenger compartment, but was in the forward crew compartment with about a dozen others, including the flight crew and some secret service agents. It is believed Godfrey had boarded the plane earlier before it had taxied to the main MATS terminal to pick up Ike and his guests. Ike’s guests were probably not aware that he was on the plane. According to news sources including Time Magazine and other sources later confirmed, Arthur Godfrey and Edward R. Murrow were part of a huge civil defense effort to assist the government in making pre-recorded taped messages to be sent on TV and radio airwaves in case of nuclear attack.
[It may be important to note that aside from his notoriety as a broadcaster, Godfrey was also an experienced pilot with a reserve officer commission in the U.S. Navy.]
ROSWELL CRASH–A TROJAN HORSE…?
If Eisenhower was conducting covert negotiations with extra-terrestrials, what kind of deal was struck…? According to Col. Philip Corso [Ret.], in his book “The Day After Roswell”, Published by Pocket Books, 1997, the inference is that Ike made a deal with the ‘devil’…
“These creatures weren’t benevolent alien beings who had come to enlighten human beings. They were genetically altered human automatons, cloned biological entities, actually who were harvesting biological specimens on Earth for their own experimentation. As long as we were incapable of defending ourselves, we had to allow them to intrude as they wished. And that was part of what the working group [MJ-12] had to deal with. We had negotiated a kind of surrender with them as long as we couldn’t fight them. They dictated the terms because they knew what we most feared was disclosure. Hide the truth and the truth becomes your enemy. Disclose the truth and it becomes your weapon. We hid the truth and the EBEs used it against us…”
“But we were fighting so deeply immersed in our own official denial that the fantastic nature of the truth, the ongoing effects of the truth, and the capitulation of the civilian intelligence services to some crazed blueprint they had for world order based upon an international government sometimes made us doubt our own senses.”
Air Force General Nathan Twining in 1947 told President Truman that the ‘alien’ issue “was bigger than the Manhattan Project and required that it be managed on a larger scale and obviously for a longer period…
…They would form nothing less than a government within the government, sustaining itself from presidential administration to presidential administration regardless of whatever political party took power, and ruthlessly guarding their secrets while evaluating every new bit of information on flying saucers they received. But at the same time, they would allow disclosure of some of the most far-fetched information, whether true or not, because it would help create a climate of public attitude that would be able to accept the existence of extraterrestrial life without a general sense of panic.”
[It should be important to note that the Roswell 'crash' was July 7, 1947. The Central Intelligence Agency was established July, 26, 1947...]
Gen. Twining was also aware the wreck retrieved at the 1947 Roswell crash was a…“crescent shaped craft looking so uncomfortably like the German Horten wings our flyers had seen at the end of the war that he had to suspect the Germans had bumped into something we didn’t know about. And his conversations with Wernher von Braun and Willy Ley at Alamogordo in the days after the crash confirmed this. They… intimated that there was a deeper story about what the Germans had engineered. No, the similarity between the Horten wing and the craft they had pulled out of the arroyo was no accident…”
“Dr Hermann Oberth suggests we consider the Roswell craft from the New Mexico desert, not a spacecraft, but a time machine…”
“Therefore, perhaps we should consider the EBEs as described in the medical autopsy reports humanoid robots rather than life forms, specifically engineered for long distance travel through space or time.”
