The claim by
veteran CIA officer Chase Brandon that the Roswell incident really was the
crash of an extraterrestrial craft is sparking interest and controversy. Some
researchers in the field suspect there is more to this story.
Is Brandon just promoting his new
book – maybe hoping for a movie deal?
Is he putting out false
information for some reason? Is he framing true information within a false
story about finding a box marked “Roswell” in a secure vault of the historical
documents area at CIA headquarters?
Is this part of public education
and preparedness? Is his book itself actually fact-based fiction and a cover
method to put out important information the public has a need to know?
Many of these elements could be
in play. There could also be other factors to consider.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Some researchers with defense and
intelligence backgrounds have noted that if essentially true sensitive facts
are released and adequately mixed with inaccurate information, there may not be
a violation of security procedures and requirements that Brandon and others are
certainly subject to.
This idea was repeatedly brought
forth by researchers regarding the so-called Project SERPO information
releases. To some experienced researchers who looked at the Project SERPO
claims, it seemed that true information was mixed with inaccurate
statements. In that case, the alleged sources were reportedly from the DIA –
the Defense Intelligence Agency.
This method is used in
disinformation or manipulation activities – a skillful mixing of truth and
lies, and framing information in certain ways to help achieve a desired outcome.
Another reasonable point has been
brought up by researchers regarding Brandon’s statements: Wouldn’t he need to
at least get permission from CIA to make such public statements? You would
think so. If that is the case, is there more agency involvement than meets the
eye?
A few researchers appear to
suspect that Brandon’s statements may be part of a deception operation that we
may not fully understand at this time.
Another reasonable view seems to
be that this could actually be a way to release more information to the public
about the truth of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth.
The fact that this experienced
covert operations professional was also the agency’s liaison to the publishing
business and Hollywood certainly seems relevant. He has been a technical
advisor on many major movies and TV shows and apparently is involved
with key people and media projects.
SAFE GRADUAL DISCLOSURE
Some people may feel that those
involved in the UFO and extraterrestrial situation fall into two camps: those
keeping secrets from the public, and those trying to discover and release such
information to the public.
The truth is that some people are
charged with doing both. These activities are probably not mutually exclusive.
Disclosure of interesting information about extraterrestrial visitation may be
thoroughly linked with appropriate safety and security considerations about
certain aspects of the situation.
Additionally, certain methods of
framing key points about the extraterrestrial visitation topic, such as
“fictional” movies, TV shows and novels, could be considered very helpful in
educating and preparing the public. If elements of Brandon’s new book are truth
within the context of a fictional novel, as many novels are, then those elements are both a
standard storytelling technique and possibly a way to release more information
and improve our perspective.
Do CIA agents sometimes lie? Are
they involved in deception operations? Is the sky blue?
Are they also committed to the
United States of America and the American people? In most cases the answer
would be yes. When dealing with complex and sensitive topics like extraterrestrial
visitation and activities on and around Earth, dedicated Americans in the
defense and intelligence communities are certainly involved.
What their involvement is
probably varies among individuals, groups and organizations, and how the overall
situation is evolving. And, their methods, tactics and strategies may also vary
somewhat.
It’s clear that Brandon’s
statements have already received widespread media attention, including major
mainstream media platforms. This in itself seems to be quite helpful in getting
us all thinking deeply about what might be going on.
