Subject: UFO Chronology -- 1953 -- 3

Nov., 1953 CIA biochemist commits suicide after being
secretly exposed to LSD and Dulles has to
work overtime to keep this out of the papers.
Family bought off.

Nov., 1953 Kinross AFB incident occurs. UFO said to
have "swallowed" F-94 jet over Lake Superior.
Terrific impact on "UFO Grapevine" and the
debunkers expended a lot of energy on it as
it got some national play.

Dec., 1953 JANAP-146 established and UFO reports are
never to be discussed with public. Covered
entire military and of both U.S. and Canada.

----, 1953 Adamski's book, Flying Saucers Have Landed,
is so silly that it holds "contactees" up to
ridicule. But Adamski is traveling the world
on a U.S. diplomatic passport and at one
point Allen Dulles comes to his defense.
Adamski was part of psych-war campaign
related to UFOs. No doubt.

----, 1953 Project Aquarius said established by
Eisenhower(?) Aquarius was said to be the
historical research group for the UFO effort
under MJ-12. Cooper, 1989, says Aquarius was
an operational group.

Dec., 1953 Air Force said to set up special squadron of
F-86 fighters to intercept UFOs.
Triangulated gun camera film said to be
obtained.

Jan., 1954 The Atomic Energy Commission announces that
there will be no tests in Nevada in 1954.
This primarily to calm public opinion.
Testing would move to the Pacific for a year
and then resume over Nevada in 1955.

Feb., 1954 Dorothy Kilgallen reports that Flying Saucers
will be the subject of a secret meeting of
"world military heads this summer." See
1963.

Feb., 1954 Robert Mahue forms a CIA proprietary company
sharing an office with Kennedy family
employee Carmine Bellino, who would help
prosecute mobsters as an aide to RFK in the
mid-1950s. Later Bellino would be the chief
investigator for the Watergate committee.
Mahue procured call girls for visiting
bigwigs and then the CIA would tape their
bedroom conversation.

Feb., 1954 Crew members of "The Fortunate Dragon," 85
miles north of Bikini Atoll, see the blast
from Castle/Bravo, a "Pika-Don" using tritium
and lithium-6-deuteride. Later one of the
crew would die. Official cause--hepatitis.

Feb., 1954 Article in Journal, Astronomical Society of
the Pacific says there will be soon be a
"satellite search" program set up with Clyde
Tombaugh in charge. This program had in fact
been in operation since early 1952. Most
important.

Feb., 1954 Herbert Brownell, now in IKE's justice
department, charges Aristotle Onassis with
fraud for tanker sales that HE (Brownell!)
had approved when he was a member of the
Truman administration in 1947! Onassis is
arrested and booked in Washington, D.C., on
the same day that several Puerto Ricans shoot
up the Senate Chambers. Involved with
Brownell are Robert Mahue, Richard Nixon and
Warren Burger, all out to ruin Onassis.
Burger, acting as attorney for the Justice
Department, seizes the ships. See Hougan's
Spooks. Onassis had just signed a contract
with Saudi Arabia to ship their oil around
the world, his bid undercutting shippers
connected to the Rockefeller empire.

Mar., 1954 Surprise Attack Study under Killian,
DuBridge, Land and Dolittle says that the
Russians are building the H-Bomb and the ICBM
and we must have 1) The DEW Line; 2) Atlas;
3) Navy IRBM (Polaris); and 4) the B-52. All
were built.

Mar., 1954 Blue Book Report #14, debunking UFOs, is
released to a few insiders in government and
military. Not to be seen by the public until
October of 1955.

----, 1954 George Williamson publishes The Saucers
Speak. Saucers on shortwave.

----, 1954 World-wide press campaign to smear Onassis
and German banker Schacht, who was backing
him. FBI director Hoover says that Onassis is
anti-American and pro-Nazi. Peruvian Navy
sinks a whaler owned by Onassis. See 1956.

Apr., 1954 Philip Strong, others, brief Pentagon on the
U-2 after the Air Force refuses to build it.
Eventually Strong sees Eisenhower and urges
it be built using CIA "discretionary" money
plus some Air Force slush money.

----, 1954 C.D. Jackson, on "loan" from Luce's
Time/Life, still remains as Eisenhower's
"Special Assistant on Cold War Strategy." In
December he would leave the White House, go
back to Time/Life. Nelson Rockefeller would
take his place.

Apr., 1954 Onassis' company begins shipping Saudi Oil
and on that day he is assaulted at the
airport in Nice, France, by a mystery thug.

----, 1954 Air Force denies AMC's 1948 Estimate of the
Situation, the Twining Letter, Major Dewey
Fournet's 1952 UFO study and the 1953
Robertson Panel.

----, 1954 Dr. McDonald to the University of Arizona as
a professor and both Jim and Coral Lorenzen
are working at Holloman Air Force Base.

Mar., 1954 American press plays up AVRO flying disc,
says it will be a joint Canadian-American
project, able to fly 1,500 mph.

Mar., 1954 Pentagon says Clyde Tombaugh will be looking
for "moonlets" that have gone into orbit
around the Earth recently. Assumed to be
natural, are possible space station sites.
This "admission" was in response to earlier
leaks.

Mar., 1954 Strange incident on Arctic icecap near USSR.
It is said that a listening post was under
attack by Soviets. Marines sent in and
entire U.S. military goes on alert. It is
said that "false return" from new Dew Line
caused the alert and that World War III
almost started. Movie Ice Station Zebra made
from incident. Howard Hughes involved.

----, 1954 Lawsuit against Adamski brings response from
Allen Dulles, head of CIA, shielding Adamski!
National Security involved.

May, 1954 John D. Rockefeller IV (Jay) graduates
Phillips/Exeter Academy and goes to the
International Christian University in Tokyo,
then back to Harvard.

May, 1954 "Flying Saucers" are slowly becoming known as
"UFOs."

----, 1954 Movie, Village of the Damned, England, tells
of women impregnated by mysterious force.
Very well made film.

----, 1954 UFO groups in USA self-censoring "little men"
stories coming out of Europe and South
America. This one result of the counter-
attack led by Robertson. It will be the mid-
1960s before American Ufology catches up.

May, 1954 Child in Carrollton, Missouri, sees dark,
diamond-shaped object move silently overhead
in broad daylight.

May, 1954 In New Zealand, Jerrold tells Barker that a
piece of a UFO has fallen near Sharperton,
Victoria, and a witness has supplied it to
him. Later the Air Force of New Zealand
entices Jerrold to co-investigate the metal.
Barker told of this in a letter and that is
the last he ever hears of Jerrold, who drops
from view.

May, 1954 CIA returns "correct" people to power in
Guatemala, use bases in Nicaragua where the
Somoza family is in power.

May, 1954 Huge object seen on radar over Washington,
D.C., hovering at 90,000 feet, says Keyhoe in
1973. Diameter: Thousands of feet! See
Norwood Object, 1949.

----, 1954 Hynek trains the Air Force's 4602d Air
Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS) to
identify UFOs. But who analyzed reports?

May, 1954 Gordon Dean, Chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, called into Eisenhower's office
and told to leave "thermonuclear" out of all
AEC press releases. Also told to try and
keep the public "confused" about fusion and
fission. All of this was, no doubt, entirely
HIS, Eisnehower's, idea.

June, 1954 Dr. Percy Wilkins, famous selenographer, sees
two "ovoids" over West Virginia. Looked like
"polished metal plates."

June, 1954 Strontium 90 begins to show up in milk in the
U.S. and overseas. Pressure begins to build
within the government for an end to
atmospheric testing. But the U.S. scientific
community, now with power beyond its wildest
dreams, does not take the lead in changing
our nuclear programs.

June, 1954 Movie The Conqueror being shot at Snow
Canyon, down-wind of the Nevada test site.
Within 10 years Dick Powell, who directed,
would be dead of cancer. Within 25 years 90
of the 210 people in the movie crew would be
dead of cancer, including Susan Hayward, John
Wayne and Agnes Moorehead.

June, 1954 Another large object seen near Washington and
the story leaks out in July. Similiar to the
ones seen earlier. A British Overseas
Airways crew speaks out about a huge "flying
jellyfish" they had seen 30,000 feet over the
Atlantic.

----, 1954 Eisenhower announces Atoms For Peace in an
attempt to put a good face on the growing
nuclear terror. From this we got our
civilian nuclear program.

July, 1954 Walesville incident, in which UFO is said to
cause crash of F-94. Four killed on the
ground. Incident said to be an engine fire
and crew talked of unbearable heat--but
rumors have never quelled. Keyhoe, 1960.

July, 1954 Barker hears from McDonnell Douglas workers
(St. Louis) who see a small, amorphous UFO
dodge cars on the highway and then climb
rapidly into an overcast. A huge wave is
underway in the USA with NO press coverage.

Aug., 1954 Frank Edwards fired. Was only national
outlet for UFO reports, was getting them from
airline pilots. Had released information on
the large number of reports Air Force was
getting early in the year. "Talked too much
about UFOs," his sponsor said. UFO
counter-attack in high gear by now.

Aug., 1954 Barker told that "Washington, D.C., is
practically a police state." In this month
he meets Jim Moseley for the first time.

----, 1954 Hermann Oberth says that UFOs are
interplanetary and he is soon brought to the
United States as a consultant to Von Braun's
team. Stays until 1959.

----, 1954 This summer sees Wilkins' Flying Saucers On
The Attack and Meade Layne's The Coming Of
The Guardians, Borderlands, and The Etherians.

----, 1954 Van Tassell has his first public UFO meeting
at Giant Rock, California.

----, 1954 Daniel Fry gets The White Sands Incident
published, founds Understanding.

Aug., 1954 Dr. La Paz, Univ. of New Mexico, says there
may be small natural satellites in orbit near
Earth. Very soon Morris Jessup's The Case
For The UFO (1955) will say UFOs come from
artificial satellites between Earth & Moon.

Oct., 1954 NACA (soon to be NASA) says it has picked up
signals from an orbiting object. Many
similiar leaks appearing in press at this
time.

Oct., 1954 Eisenhower said to meet with alien beings to
sign "treaty." Original Hostage Krill said
(by Cooper, 1989) to be taken at this time as
we send people to "visit" the alien planet.
In some ways this fits Keyhoe's bizarre
comments in his FSFOS of the year before.
Some say this "treaty" included "permission"
for abductions, and mutilations in trade for
alien technology. This WAS a very productive
R&D time for the weapons infrastructure of
the USA. See "The Holloman Air Force Base
Scenario" in 1964.

----, 1954 Newest National Security Act says covert
actions are OK as long as President has
"deniability." Congress was asking for a
true oversight ability but was given a
"committee" chaired by Gen. James Doolittle,
who had called for the CIA to "subvert,
sabotage and destroy Communist influence."
This was the "5412 Committee," a sop to
sub-elites (like members of Congress) who
were being left out of the real
decision-making. Gordon Gray, Eisenhower's
representative, (and MJ-12 member?) changed
name later to "special group." Designation
"special" sure intelligence tip-off.

Oct., 1954 Lloyd Berkner pushes for U.S. satellite
launch during the International Geophysical
Year, (IGY) which he had helped promote a few
months earlier. IGY was to be a civilian
cover for the military R&D needed for new
weapons, perfect spook/science cover.

----, 1954 Frank Edwards to WTTW in Indianapolis where
he will stay until 1959. He was with other
stations in the area until 1967. Still had a
newspaper column syndicated to over 300
newspapers in the United States.

----, 1954 Navy (?) said to be in complete charge of
"alien bases" in Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
Large amounts of money for these bases became
available in 1957, in Ike's second term,
especially after Sputnik, says Cooper, 1989.

End, Part 3.
