Ruppelt Re: I Left A Hello Unsolved Mysteries Re: Unsolved Mysteries ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Michael.Corbin Subject: The Lost Papers of Captain Edward J. Ruppelt Date: 20 Sep 89 23:45:00 GMT IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR UFO RESEARCHERS FOR SALE: THE LOST RUPPELT PAPERS THE 35 TO 40-YEAR-OLD SECRET, HIDDEN PERSONAL PAPERS OF CAPTAIN EDWARD J. RUPPELT (OF PROJECT BLUE BOOK FAME) Sellers: Researchers Robert B. Klinn and David Branch (authors of "The Continuing UFO," the 1970's weekly investigative columns in The Orange County Register and The Anaheim Bulletin) Captain Edward J. Ruppelt's "The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects," published in 1956 by Doubleday, stood as a monument of candor and honesty in research at a time when Government UFO activities were shrouded in secrecy. Ruppelt had briefly pulled aside the curtain of secrecy, revealing UFO sightings and pro-UFO official documents previously unknown to the public. Early UFO writer Max B. Miller summed up reactions of many readers of Ruppelt's UFO book: "A feeling of 'At last the truth!' surges within the reader." In that book, Ruppelt had dared to present unsolved UFO cases that challenged science's and the Government's UFO stance of the 1950's. And he had done it years before J. Allen Hynek made known his real UFO views, before the Freedom of Information Act, before there was a NICAP or a MUFON, before physicist James E. McDonald's significant UFO research, before the controversy about MJ-12, and before UFOlogists became aware of "disinformation." Now after 20 years, the 35 to 40-year-old papers and notes that Ruppelt used in the preparation of his all-time classic book, as well as other documents prepared by or belonging to Ruppelt, are being made available for purchase. Invaluable for research purposes are cases edited out of the original manuscript and never published. Preventing imminent destruction of these files, in 1969 researchers/columnists Robert B. Klinn and David Branch purchased from Mrs. Edward J. Ruppelt the complete original papers, constituting several boxes of material. These priceless personal papers of Captain Edward J. Ruppelt include: -- A file marked "Not For Publication Under Any Circumstances," in which Ruppelt sets down the involvement and views of certain key UFO officials and individuals such as Dr. Donald Menzel. The late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, after finding this file among all the others in this collection, stated, "This is worth the price of admission." That file has been seen only by Hynek and the owners of the Ruppelt papers. -- A complete, original [carbon], unedited, unexpurgated manuscript of "The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects" with information not included in the published book. An example of material this manuscript presents is a reference to a UFO intelligence agency so secret that Ruppelt writes that if he named it, it would not be recognized. However, he writes, it was headed by a renowned scientist. -- A file compiled by Ruppelt detailing many UFO reports. -- Personal letters written to Ruppelt, including at least one official military/[AF] letter denying Ruppelt key material for a followup book. -- An unpublished report by Ruppelt on UFO contactees. There are also intriguing and revealing quotes by highly placed individuals in the intelligence community, including candid remarks by General Cabel, a high ranking official in the CIA, who says, with respect to the situation on UFOs, "I've been lied to! I've been lied to!" (What would a man with that attitude about UFOs and that position of power in the CIA then likely do to investigate UFOs?)

Your orders: Seek out and find intelligence within the UFO community, become apart of the situation, and then bring the downfall of organized UFOLOGY as we know it. So far, in the short tiime that you have been involved, you have come out with a raunchy publication that details the errors of people (or their actual problems), have infultrated MUFON as a section director for Idaho, and quite probably now in California, you have become the pride of the CIS monster, who censors those of us with creative comments, you have infiltrated ParaNet and are the co--Sysop or public relations person here, and finally, you have taken over some spots in the "UFO Magazine" circle. Since I am a trouble maker, would you please tell us how you have amassed this great step towards the truth while being without funds? Your amassed disserations indeed intrigue me, and I am pleasured by them, but you must tell us how you do it. Some would say a line, some info, and others a lofas. -- Dale Wedge - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Dale.Wedge@paranet.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!Don.Sudduth Subject: Unsolved Mysteries Date: 21 Sep 89 03:24:00 GMT At last TV has presented a fairly good piece on the Roswell Incident. Unsolved Mysteries tonight 9/20 presented a 20 minute segment detailing the history and current knowledge of the Roswell, NM crash of 1947. It was a serious piece with interviewsof Jesse Marcel, SR., Jesse Marcel, Jr., the wife of a friend of the rancher who discovered wreckage, the friend of the geologist who discovered the craft, and the wife of the Air Force captian who piloted the saucer and the alien bodies to Wright Patterson AB in Ohio (I had not heard of this captian's testimony before!). It was good, serious presentation. Not like "UFO Coverup: Live!". There must be many more witnesses to this event! -- Don Sudduth - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Don.Sudduth@paranet.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: scicom!cyrill Subject: Re: Unsolved Mysteries Date: 21 Sep 89 19:14:37 GMT I had several questions about this show. 1) Who has the original mj-12 papers. 2) They did not address what happened to the saucer that was at the crash site. (As when I was in the Air Force, the stroy was that it was still their. Was told this by personal that was station in the SAC area of that base and some personal stationed at Edwards AFB Air Medical Wing. [in the 50's]) 3) What happened to the people from the archeological digs that the show said also view the craft, the bodies and the Army Air Corp. personal at the site. I wish some one in New Mexico would check around and see what can be found about these people and what school they could have been from. -Cyro -- Cyro Lord Alpha Comm. Dev.
