One of the stranger and more intriguing UFO documents out there, I think this is one of the earliest references to alien invasion as part of a global conspiracy:
Preceded by biological warfare and population control, the date given is 2030. Curiously Strieber's site has just started promoting the idea that some kind of visitor contact/intervention will occur around 2034; he has also started sharing ideas of population collapse. There is an ufologist known to be a CIA asset, but no-one has ever determined who.
The attribution of this alien invasion idea to Werner von Braun in the 70s actually comes later through the testimony of Carol Rosin, maybe as early as 2001, but in the public domain nearer 2013 as far as I can tell. This document however is dated 1999. So I think the idea begins here.
Well, this all came up in a conversation recently, so I thought the paper trail was worth posting, seeing as it presented itself to me today so serendipitously.
OK,
digging deeper we find a reference in 1952 to the potential use of UFOs
as a psychological weapon by the US, and fears that the US should
configure responses to the Soviets figuring out the same (the memo is
from Scientific Intelligence to the CIA, October 1952) - however no mention is made of a false flag alien invasion *specifically*:
Project
Bluebeam as an idea dates earlier too, to 1994, but the conspiracy
there is the false projection in the sky of an antichrist figure. No
alien invasion originally:
The
idea of nefarious intent by the US Govt re ET enters the literature
with Bill Cooper in 1991 and the X-Files in 93. ET abduction literature
has its own history (1966 - Fuller, 1987 - Strieber, 1994 - John E Mack)
- but the bad faith nexus of govt/ET does not really enter this until Strieber in 2011).
So
overall the idea of a false flag alien invasion would seem to be a
syncretism in conspiracy theory. Finding full expression in Greer 2013,
it would seem to evolve the 1952 idea of horizontal false flags
*between* the Soviets and the USA into a global
vertical action by elites against the people (as per Cooper 1991 and
Monast 1994); with Rosin's testimony on Von Braun in 2001-2013
crystallising Greer's opinion in 2013 (as per a general negative trend
Cooper to Strieber 1991 -2011). The 1999 memo to Cooper is therefore an
interesting outlier to the seeming development of the meme via that
route.
Context
(that I do not give here) shows that the outlier may or may not be
disinformation from an exposed bad faith actor called Richard Doty. Ugh.
Summary:
it turns out to be all quite interesting. The theory of a future false
flag alien invasion seems to be a syncretism of various other conspiracy
theories (i.e. a merging and evolution of earlier theories) but there
is an outlier reference in 1999 that seems to come
out of the blue - complicating that is the 1999 source may or may not be
a person called Richard Doty, who has been fully exposed in recent
years as a disinfo agent from Air Force Intelligence. So I would say the
syncretism argues against its truth, and the 1999 letter argues 50/50
for its truth. This is the best I can do to approach this in a scholarly
way. So there it is. Verdict: a 1 in 4 chance that the alien false flag
invasion thing is a thing.
