Personal communication, August 4, 2011. Judith Relf contacted me after hearing a broadcast on August 3, in which Mike Sewell, a sports journalist for BBC Radio 5 Live, described his encounter with a flying disc while driving through a village in Hertfordshire (see p. xx). Nicky Campbell later interviewed me on the same show.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: EXPLOITATION

1.
According to an informed source, the USS
Chicago
is on the ocean floor somewhere near Rennell Island, straight south of Guadalcanal, about 165 miles from Cape Esperance, which is on the north shore of the northwest corner of Guadalcanal. “I don't know exactly where the wreck of the
Chicago
is,” said my source, “but its position certainly isn't visible from Cape Esperance.”

2.
A photograph of a craft similar in some respects to the description given by the Solomon Islanders to Marius Boirayon is reproduced in the plate section. The photograph was taken in Pescara in 1961 on the shores of the Adriatic coast by the science journalist Bruni Ghibaudi, a member of the Amicizia group.

La Palma,
one of the Canary Islands, has also attracted alien activity. Herr Schaffer, a Swiss engineer, related to me how in 1973 he had observed a fleet of flying saucers landing in the Caldera de Taburiente, once believed to be a huge crater but now known to be an enormous “mountain arch” area in the national park on the island. “First, two machines flew over me, about five or six hundred meters away,” he said. “I couldn't move my legs and my skin tingled, after being struck by a greenish-blueish beam of light. I thought I was going to die. The machines landed below me, in the crater, where I noticed another six machines on the ground. They were all about 6.5 meters in diameter, aluminium-metallic, with antennae on top, large transparent domes, and three legs underneath. Later, when I could move again, I saw the impressions in the sand.” (Personal interviews, Lausanne, November 24/December 6, 1977.)

I officially assisted Congressman Schiff in his investigations into the Roswell case in 1994. With a background in law, he had served as a pilot with the rank
of lieutenant colonel in the New Mexico Air National Guard. In 1993, when he took up the matter with the General Accounting Office, Colonel Larry Shockley, Deputy Director of Plans and Operations in the Secretary of Defense's Congressional liaison office, warned the GAO investigator, “You've got no business getting into that.” Schiff died in office in 1998, after a sudden and virulent bout of skin cancer. (For additional information on the GAO investigation, see
Need to Know
.) I also officially assisted Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz for a considerable time, and in May 2003 supplied him and a number of interested Congressmen with a special briefing document I had prepared:
Exempt from Disclosure: Military Intelligence Perspectives Pertaining to Intrusions of Unidentified Aerial and Submarine Craft
, which I requested to be circulated among those associated with the House Armed Services Committee and relevant Committees and Subcommittees (e.g., Select Intelligence). And many years ago I also assisted Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), via a Counsel to the Senate Appropriations Committee, with an official investigation into the subject. None of these investigations led anywhere. It is my understanding that those members of the Senate and House of Representatives who evince an interest in the problem are seriously “discouraged” from raising the matter officially.
