Not MJ-12..Aviary. Not Pandolfin - Ron Pandolfi = "Pelican" .

The Aviary, the Aquari Conspiracy"
article (see inset) was disseminated to computer bulletin board
systems in the Spring of '93. In this article, Smith and Rosemary
Ellen Guiley, directors of the Center for North American Crop Circle
Studies, warned of an "eschatological emergency, "the reaction of
various organizations--both inside and outside the government, and
their attempt to establish a network of spiritually advanced
individuals, the "Aquarium," to assist the Aviary in dealing with this
crisis.

The "Aquarium Conspiracy" by Dan Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley

"In the beginning there was eschatology--the branch of theology
dealing with the end times. Dan, having spent many years first
studying physics and then metaphysics, came to the conclusion that the
scientists have been looking at the world upside down. Mind, not
matter, is the foundation for all realities. Moreover, the materialist
paradigm was in danger of imminent collapse, being subverted on the
inside by its own contradictions, and on the outside by the growing
body of evidence for the paranormal. Creating and maintaining a
reality is no easy game. It requires a lot of magic, and a lot of
conscious critters like ourselves who are pretty good at collective
self-deception. Fortunately-- or perhaps unfortunately--our particular
reality game has about reached its natural conclusion, and we are
waking up to the fact that mind and matter are not separate. We are
undergoing an exciting but stressful revolution in our collective
consciousness. This revolution, or global spiritual emergency, will
bring upheavals and overloads in our global consciousness that will
impact the material Earth for better or worse, and may quickly get out
of control. We also will be opening up to other realities that will be
impacting us as well. Our present very tidy sense of reality and its
boundaries is due to become much more fluid and permeable. Every
spiritual tradition takes very seriously its prophesies about the end
of the world, but for the first time we are seeing these prophesies
turning into believable predictions of earth and reality changes. That
is how Dan fell from physics into eschatology. After experiencing
numerous slammed doors among his former scientific colleagues, he
decided that the most logical place to find fellow eschatologists
would be in various intelligence agencies and among investigators of
the paranormal. Dan next addressed how to communicate about the
eschaton. Even a small hint that the government is worried about the
end of the world might start a chain reaction of panic, which could
possibly serve as a trigger for the eschaton. On the other hand,
people inside the government might be wanting to set up a kind of
civil defense network vis a vis the eschaton, and so they would be
looking for people on the outside who could much more freely network
among the general public. An important link in the communication chain
is what has become known as the Aviary. This is the final link next to
the public network, and so it must be heavily disguised by its own
surrealistic smoke screen. The Aviary functions best by amplifying
people's own misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by
helping to overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that
particular investigators get pushed further into their own blind
alleys. People are encouraged to be so distracted by the trees that
they fail to see the forest. This cacophony by people looking for
truth in all the strangest places provides an excellent cover for the
deadly serious business of clearing the decks and battening down the
hatches for the eschaton event. It is like a Manhattan Project going
on behind the scenes of alien grays and praying mantises having sex
with humans. However, this eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated
by higher powers, and we don't mean the Committee of 300. Very few of
the people even near the cent available,
but controlled, throughout history. Now, other entities are forcing
the issue," said Smith.

During the course of our first conversation, Smith was unable to
provide much proof of his claims. He reported that his governmental
sources "hinted at" an eschatological emergency. To prove the evil
intent of the entities involved, he referred to reports of human
mutilations in the Amazon which have been officially attribbuted to
drug dealers, but according to his sources, were committed by these
evil entities. When I asked why the CIA was interested in eschatology,
he replied that the ramifications of the eschaton event represented a
serious threat to national security, and thus, fell into the parview
of the intelligence agencies.

Smith also revealed that the eschatological issues he raised related
directly to the Biblical prophecies of the book of Revelations.

I thanked Mr. Smith for the call, and invited him to keep me abreast
of future developments. With the addition of demons, angels, "black
magic," psychotronic technology, and assorted spooks working at cross
purposes, my already strained credulity was pushed a bit further.


The Aviary
----------

Dan proceeded to call me regularly. Each call provided tantalizing
snippets of information -- some simply incredible at first hearing,
but with confirmation on some of the data coming in from disparate
sources all across the country. Naturally, my curiosity centered
around the identities and activities of the Aviary. I suspect that
many believe the Bird People to be cogs in a giant conspiracy to
manage the public's perception of UFOs. Not necessarily so, according
to Smith. Far from being a well-funded, omnipotent secret society of
the guardians of UFO data, the Aviary is nothing more than an ad hoc
group of highly-placed "UFO buffs."

Initially, the factor that seemed most important was that Pelican was
being so forthcoming -- presumably with the knowledge and consent of
his superiors at CIA. This in itself forced me to conclude that there
are two possible motives for all this apparent glasnost:

1. There is indeed an eschatological emergency as described by Dan
Smith, i.e. fulfillment of biblical prophesy with attendent
catastrophes; and/or

2. There is a new twist to the ol' UFO debunking game, capitalizing on
new-age mysticism and millennial "apocophilia."

Frankly, I lean towards the second explanation. After all, Smith
himself described the Aviary as "amplifying people's own
misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by helping to
overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that particular
investigators get pushed further into their own blind alleys." I've
personally been occupied by this ongoing saga for many months -- a
"blind alley?" I wish I knew, but in either case, Pelican's
involvement in this affair raises the ante significantly.


Has something changed? Could we really be facing biblical "End Times?"
As I mentioned previously, I would have laughed-off such suggestions a
few months ago. However, Smith's references to "out of control"
psychotronic research proved to be more substantive than I first
realized.

The Aviary is believed to be comprised of:
------------------------------------------

Bruce Maccabee (Seagull) - Well-known Naval photograhic expert who
verified the authenticity of the Gulf Breeze photos, a MUFON
consultant and member of the Board of Directors of the Fund for UFO
Research.

Hal Puthoff, PhD. (Owl) - Physicist with the Institute for Advanced
Research in Austin, Texas who specializes in Zero-Point Energy, a
quantum phenomenon that could provide "free energy." Puthoff was once
involved in remote-viewing experiments at the Stanford Research
Institute.

Dale Graff (Raven) - Performed contract oversight for the DIA at
Wright Patterson AFB. Most recently, Graff was the chief of the DIA's to be
either one of active coordination of the other Birds, or simply as a
dupe, such as in the Bennewitz affair.

John Alexander (Penquin) - Former colonel in Army Intelligence
(INSCOM). Rumored to be involved in the Army's UFO research. Member of
the board of directors of Psi Tech. Currently, head of "non-lethal"
weapons program (see "Secret Conference" article) at Los Alamos. Said
to be briefing Vice President Gore on the UFO phenomenon and psi
projects.

"Pelican," PhD - Pelican is a physicist with the CIA's Directorate of
Science and Technology, who mans the "Wierd Desk" (UFOs, etc) at CIA.


Apparently, it is Pelican who provided the bulk of the information
that Smith tirelessly passed on. Smith says that Pelican has received
some heat from his superiors for becoming so visible due to the AIR #1
report on Bruce Maccabee's relationship to the CIA.



Psi-Tech
--------

Psi-Tech is a private company that claims to provide its clients
remote viewing services. Remote viewing is the act of psychically
perceiving places or events at a distance. These techniques were
learned during his stint with the US Army's Intelligence and Security
Command (INSCOM), according to Major Ed Dames (ret.) , president of
Psi-Tech, who describes his operation thusly (taken from a Psi-Tech
brochure):

----

PSI TECH, Inc. was founded in 1989 to perform specialized proprietary
studies for science and industry on a contract basis.

PSI TECH consists of a select, technically qualified group of
professional analysts who provide a unique data collection capability
not available anywhere else in the world. We are a team of highly
trained Remote Viewing specialists.

Remote Viewing has been validated by governmental and private
scientific groups over the last two decades. Briefly stated, a remote
viewer is able to locate and accurately describe things and events
distant in time and space.

PSI TECH has developed applied remote viewing into a powerful
investigative tool. Our disciplined team of experts combines more
than forty man-years of applied remote viewing experience.

The rigorous target acquisition, data collection, and analytic
protocols that we employ guarantee products and solutions of high
value to PSI TECH customers.

PSI TECH can rapidly provide you with reliable information that simply
may not be available via any other means!

PSI-TECH currently employs nine highly experienced remote viewers. The
company also utilizes Ingo Swann as a subcontractor. Mr. Swann is
internationally recognized as this country's premier natural psychic.
He discovered and developed the proprietary methods now used by our
company to train and conduct technical remote viewing.

PSI-TECH has appointed two outside directors from science and
industry. Additionally. we have at our disposal an adjunct Technical
Analysis Team consisting of a multidisciplinary group of distinguished
scientists, engineers, and medical doctors from national labs, major
corporations and universities. These individuals provide analytical
support to PSI-TECH technical intelligence collection projects as
required.

PSI-TECH training and operations performance standards are exacting.
we require military precision on the part of our remote viewers. Each
viewer works independently and does not collaborate or compare data
with other viewers. The training program employed to install those
unique skills which enable the production of calibrated, consistent
and accurate results is rigorous.

While at work a viewer's mind-body state could he generally
characterized as one of high attention. To an unwitting observer a
PSI-TECH viewer could easily be mistaken for someone engaged in an
attempt to solve a difficult math or science problem. Conscious focus
shifts between the tasks of directing the trained unconscious in a
systematic exploration of t zero site, within one and a half years (August, 1993). It
would be an ongoing contact, of a prophetic sort with both Angels and
Aliens involved. His review committee will work out possible
coverage. He is not so concerned about a global spiritual emergency,
as about the physical (meteorological?) emergencies.

----

So there you have it... UFOs plus psychic adepts equals End of the
World.

Of course, one could dismiss Dames as a bunko artist selling his
$6,000-$8,000 a week services to an affluent but gullible clientele.
But before dismissing Dames' claims, readers should be aware of a few
other pertinent facts. On the Psi-Tech board of directors are two
fairly high-level players; General Albert Stubblebine (US Army
Intelligence, ret.), and Colonel John Alexander (ret.) both formerly
of the US Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).

Stubblebine, former commander of INSCOM, gave a presentation at the
International Symposium on UFO Research (sponsored by the
International Association for New Science, Denver CO, May 22-25, 1992)
on the subject of "Remote Viewing as a Research Tool." In this
presentation, Stubblebine described remote viewing:

"It is independent of time, OK? So I can go past, I can go present, I
can go future. It is independent of locations, so I can go anywhere on
this earth. I can go into any closet, I can go into any mind, I can
access that information at any location that I choose."

On the subject of RVing UFOs, Stubblebine said:

"As far as UFOs are concerned, they can be accessed, they can be
tracked, we have looked at the propulsion system for them, that's not
a hard job, you can track them back to where they come from, whether
they come from a place here on this planet or whether they come from a
place on another planet, they are trackable and you can take a look
inside as well as outside, so again, it is a tool that is available to
be used for the UFO research and I guess, I guess that's the reason
that I am standing on this platform in spite of my misgivings and
feeling a little bit nervous like a tree in a Lassie movie."

Stubblebine also claimed that his remote viewing of the planet Mars
had revealed structures and machines operating both on and below the
Martian surface.


Many suspect that John Alexander is the "colonel" referred to in
Howard Blum's recent book, "Out There". In this book, Blum described a
group of remote viewers in the Pentagon who frequently encountered
UFOs in their psychic "sorties" to locate Soviet submarines. Alexander
seems to have an extremely eclectic background -- he received a PhD.
in Thanatology (the study of death and near-death experiences) from
Georgetown University under the tutelage of the celebrated Dr.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Apparently, Alexander is a "mind-control"
junkie, having studied everything from Silva Mind Control, to a stint
in a Buddhist monastery.

When the National Research Council issued its findings that there was
no evidence of paranormal phenomena, Alexander wrote a critique of the
report that was both passionate and eloquent. In this rebuttal, he
compared the report's apparent a priori conclusions to the Condon
Commission's report on UFOs. Interestingly, Alexander is widely
believed to have been instrumental in the Army's UFO Intelligence
activities, and is rumored to have assisted in the investigation of
the Cash/Landrum UFO-injury case.

In addition to his Psi-Tech work, Alexander currently heads a research
project at Los Alamos, New Mexico, focused on "non-lethal" military
technology. "Non- lethal" in the conventional parlance refers to
methods of eroding an enemy's war-making capabilities without the
excessive death and destruction that could possibly harden an enemy's
resolve to fight, or cause a moral revulsion in our own population
that could weaken political resolve to continue a war until U.S.
milit through
the streets of Baghdad, asking his subjects to admire his new clothes;
or simply cause a major blood vessel in his brain to burst?


But Smith sincerely believes that such technologies are being
developed, specifically under the guise of "non-lethal" weapons
research, such as that headed by John Alexander. Smith says,
point-blank, that this technology is nothing less than "black magic."

Supposedly, this business is taken so seriously at upper echelons that
the Secret Service retrieved all of the bloody bandages discarded
after Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt, lest the
president's blood be used in a "black magic" ritual that could
influence his behavior. I suppose this story is somewhat more credible
after the revelations concerning the Reagan's "court astrologer."

According to Dan Smith, use of these psychotronic techniques entail a
perilous threat to democracy -- potentially, a type of instantaneous
mass mind control to program a pesky proletariat -- and worse.

These claims should be taken into context of published papers on the
ability to induce auditory sensations through microwave bombardment at
certain frequencies. In Alexander's book, "The Warrior's Edge" (with
Morris and Grollier), he states matter of factly that remote viewing
and psychokinesis are not only real, but have predictable, practical
applications. Indeed, the focus of the book is how to utilize mind
control techniques to achieve an advantage over one's adversaries.

There's absolutely no telling what Cold War ethics combined with
unlimited budgets and zero accountability could have wrought in terms
of Frankensteinian scenarios. To ellucidate this point, I present this
extract from a paper by Ray Boeche, a Lincoln, Nebraska, theologian
and Fortean researcher.

----

"To all interested researchers:


The following is an edited version of material given to me in late
1991 - early 1992, by two scientists who claim to be working in
weapons research and development for the Department of Defense.

I am not in a position to comment on the truthfulness or accuracy of
the information. The two men who have spoken to me do, in fact, exist,
and for all intents and purposes seem to be who and what they claim.
The very nature of the claims makes verification difficult, if not
impossible.

Divulging this information was the result of a moral dilemma, when
these two individuals, both Christians, became alarmed at the course
their research efforts into psychotronic weapons was taking under the
direction of their (unnamed) superiors. They described an obsessive
effort to contact and attempt to control what they referred to as
"non-human intelligences" (NHI), and to harness these NHI for military
and intelligence uses.

The efforts had progressed well past attempts at practical
applications of David Bohm's theories, and had grown to encompass the
use of, according to their statements, "satanic rituals / ritual magic
along the lines of that espoused by Aleister Crowley, including human
sacrifices."

These gentlemen stated their concerns that, even when they were
apparently able to harness or channel these forces or abilities for
"good" uses, the force would "turn," and ultimately all of those
subjects involved suffered varying degrees of negative effects from
contact with these forces. They are convinced that what is being
tapped into in all instances is evil, and that this research should
cease.


Contact has continued on a limited basis, with no new information of
significance forthcoming."

After speculation as to the physics of the paranormal, Boeche sums up
the startling details he received:

Information given, but not allowed to note during meeting: Discussion
of individuals killed during psychotronic weapons experiments.

1. Male, white, 25-30 yrs., allegedly death by remotely induced
Committee Chief of Staff, Dick DiAmato, who is said to be interested
in the ongoing strangeness at Area 51.

Variations on this rumor have John Alexander as the contact with the
Clinton administration. This makes a certain amount of sense, in that
Alexander knows Al Gore from his days as a Senator, when he taught
several Congressmen, including Gore, some basic Neuro-Linguistic
Programming techniques.

Interestingly, the subject of "Presidential Haircuts" may be connected
to this affair. It has been independently reported to me that Mr.
Clinton had another delay on the tarmac in Los Alamos, after his tour
of high-tech research facilities in the area. This was just days
before the LAX / Christophe incident. The inference from this is that
either the President's hair must grow very fast, or else highly secure
meetings are occuring on airport runways (presumably Air Force 1 is
bug-free).


A Conversation with Pelican
---------------------------

In order to give Pelican an opportunity to confirm or deny the
eschatological scenario presented by Dan Smith, I gave him a call.
Readers who expect dramatic revelations will be disappointed, although
Pelican did provide some interesting tidbits.

First, he sounded much younger than I expected. Second, he had a very
sharp sense of humor (I had to laugh out loud several times during the
course of our conversation). I limited my questions to the subjects of
eschatology and the Aviary. His answers seemed forthright -- he didn't
seem stressed to avoid any particular topic, and I found him to be
quite convincing.

My first question dealt with with Dan's statements concerning
dangerous "black" programs that were out of control. Curiously,
Pelican responded that "Dan isn't cleared for that kind of
information" -- not exactly a repudiation of Dan's story.

Pelican did admit that he talks to Dan frequently -- about physics.
When I told him that Dan had been claiming to be a "conduit" for
semi-official information from him, Pelican rather ambiguously stated,
"He may very well be doing that... I talk to him once in a while and
we share information. I really don't tell him anything that's
classified or work-related... he certainly isn't functioning in the
role of a conduit for me."

I quoted Dan Smith's statement to the effect that "the best place to
find fellow eschatologists was in the intelligence agencies," to which
Pelican responded "he didn't find any here" at CIA.

I inquired about the status of psychotronic weapons research. Pelican
was dismissive of the entire subject, calling it "modern-day
shamanism." He also stated that psychotronics is only taken seriously
in countries like Russia and China that do not have the rigorous
peer-reviewed scientific establishment such as in the U.S.

I raised the subject of Psi Tech, and Ed Dames' risking his company's
reputation on his prediction of an overt alien contact in the Chaco
Canyon area by the end of August '93. "What reputation? It's a joke...
the only paying customer Psi Tech has ever had was Dan Smith himself,
who gave Psi Tech $3,000 to remote view a crop circle being made,"
Pelican responded. I asked about the high-level personnel on Psi
Tech's board of directors like Stubblebine and Alexander. Pelican was
dismissive of Stubblebine, recounting that Stubblebine's nick-name was
"General Spoonbender," due to his belief in psychic phenomena. Pelican
holds Alexander in considerably higher regard, however, stating, "he's
a friend of mine."

Next, I asked about the Aviary. According to Pelican, the Aviary is
nothing more than the product of the somewhat-deranged mind of
"Falcon," retired Air Force Captain Robert Collins, who worked in
Foreign Technology Assessment in regards to missile technology -- not
AFOSI as is widely believed. Pelican said that Collins was discharged
from the Air Force after breaching the another.

"There are several problems with this theory from an investigative
standpoint. First there is even less proof for their statements
than for the abduction itself. The vagueness of the messages
certainly does not relate to trying to convince us of their
concern about the issues. Second, the means and methods of
relaying the messages have the lowest probability of achieving
results. Third, the messages given are usually interpreted after
an event has occurred rather then before, therefore, one never
knows for sure if that's what was truly intended. Most events
predicted, or messages conveyed which are to be understood later,
almost never happen, and those that do are subject to question.
Fourth, the religious significance of the abductors is usually
relevant to the belief system of the abductee. It is not universal
to all abductees.

"It would appear the abductors 'access' the belief system of the
abductee and play back a scenario that will be acceptable to the
abductees and make them more cooperative. If the individual is
Judeo-Christian, the aliens and their purposes will appear to fit
within that system. If the subject is a Buddhist, the scenario will
be within that belief system. However this is not always true. In
one case, an abductee (who was Christian) was presented with a
totally pagan and mythical belief scenario. A mistake, or a test?
Who knows?

"What we do know is that there does not appear to be any
consistency to information in these events other than making the
individual believe the abductors are here on some sort of divine
mission. It is interesting to note that atheists seldom have
encounters where they are presented with religious scenarios. Often
they are presented with the idea the aliens are here to help us
prevent the same fate which supposedly befell their own world. It
is hard to believe there is any truth to these spiritual
connections and beliefs when so many differing ones are presented,
some in conflict with the other. The conclusion one could draw
from the data presented is "whatever works, they will use."


So, the abducting entities can't seem to keep their stories straight.
One would expect at least consistency from advanced alien beings,
heavenly angels or demons from hell -- whatever they may be.


Novelist Whitley Strieber, whose abduction experiences are described
vividly in his non-fiction books, "Communion" and "Transformation"
recounted that when he asked the entities what they were up to, they
responded "We recycle souls." He too was shown "lessons" concerning a
catastrophe affecting the earth.

Strieber, who has become "alienated" from organized ufology due to his
refusal to categorize the entities he encountered as extraterrestrial
aliens, can only characterize the phenomenon as "not a dream, not a
hallucination, and not real - something else."

Which brings me back to the subject at hand: what is going on?

In a word, confusion. There seems to be no correlation between the
perceived abduction events and Dan Smith's eschatological emergency
caused by the practice of "black magic." Smith does seem to be hedging
his bets at times. He has told me that the eschaton event could be a
"benign eschaton," consisting of a universal and positive shift in
human behavior due to Revealed Truth. I could go for that...

Just as occurred in the waning days of the year 999, when
millennialism swept through Europe causing a virtual societal
breakdown, today there is a growing millennialist movement where many
of the faithful foresee a period of catastrophic "Earth changes," and
Armageddon, the fulfillment of biblical prophesy.

Fundamentalist Christians eagerly await this disaster because it will
usher in a thousand-year kingdom of Jesus on Earth.

New-Age channelers a barrage of UFO reports, BVM sightings, abduction
accounts, channeled messages, religious hysteria, and inside poop from
the CIA are probably nothing more than further attempts to distort the
signal with more noise.

Many thanks to Robert Durant, Dale Musser, Ray Boeche, George Hansen,
Ron Madeley and of course, Dan Smith for their assistance on this
story.
