Foreword

As a former news reporter, I am used to researching countless government documents in search of a key word, sentence or paragraph that will shed some light on a really hot story.

The existence of ancient astronauts, or extraterrestrial visitors who allegedly helped shape our world’s civilizations and religions is one such story, especially today when UFOs and so-called alien abductions have morphed into a vibrant new age religion.

So when I discovered a four-page declassified top secret FBI document carefully recording every word of an obscure Ufologist giving a talk in a small auditorium in 1960, it caught my attention. This is the same FBI that claimed at the time it had no interest in UFOs and that they were just natural phenomena, man-made aircraft or hoaxes. Upon closely scrutinizing the documents, to my surprise I found that the individual the FBI was spying on was presenting a concise ancient-astronaut theory that included scientific and technological facts that wouldn’t be discovered for more than 50 years.

It was then that I decided to share my findings with those like-minded individuals that might find this vintage Ufologist’s take on ancient astronauts as interesting as I did. Unlike today’s ancient astronaut theorists, this unnamed Ufologist offered concrete motives for the extraterrestrial visitors as well as the governments and institutions that denied their existence at all costs.

This report is concise and to the point, and I’ve concluded it with another document I recently happened upon in the FBI’s vault that is relevant to this report. It is a hand-written note by J. Edgar Hoover himself acknowledging the Bureau’s desire to examine the “flying discs” that were in the possession of the U. S. Army. I’ve included copies of these documents at the end of this report I chose to name “The Ancient Astronaut Papers.”

Cordially,

Chapter 1 --The Discovery

When I stumbled upon this unassuming report in the FBI’s “vault” of declassified top-secret documents describing the surveilling of an obscure meeting held by a Ufologist more than half a century ago, I wondered why the founding director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, had so much interest in what appeared to be just another group of early flying saucer enthusiasts.

However, when I began to read the detailed account of what the Ufologist, who was being spied on had to say, it piqued my interest. And after a while I began to believe that this lecture to a small group in 1960 was far more significant than it first appeared. After reading the report for the third time, instead of shrugging my shoulders and moving on, I felt a little like somebody who went to a flea market looking for a reproduction of a masterpiece for his living room, only to find an original Rembrandt or a Picasso. That’s because I had chanced upon one of the first historically documented expositions of an “ancient astronaut theory” that had been kept out of public view for decades.

Today, such theories abound in the media; they are embraced by some as a new religion. But in 1960 such an intricate description of ancient astronauts and how they changed our world was pretty much nonexistent. The fact is this report shows that years before Erich von Daniken published his controversial, ancient astronaut blockbuster "Chariots of the Gods" in 1967, someone had already researched and was sharing with others the theory that extraterrestrials had indeed visited us, shaped our world and were still continuing to do so.

The meeting of about 250 people was held at Pipps Auditorium located in City Park Denver. The only details about the speaker revealed in the FBI’s report were that he had been in the “flying game” for more than 30 years, operated a Civil Aeronautics Authority airfield and spent his spare time recruiting others to his UFO group through public talks that drew small crowds of the curious.

Answers Many Questions

It’s my opinion, this FBI report reveals a most concise, authoritative and logical explanation for the origin of UFOS and extraterrestrials. It also explains the reason for their presence now and throughout recorded history, as well as the surprising motivation behind the U.S. government’s virulent disinformation campaign and its iron-fisted policy to keep the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrials a secret.

Catastrophic Polar Shift

The FBI must have been concerned about the Urologist’s revelations gaining traction because the agent carefully chronicled the demographics of the gathering, “The audience was comprised of a majority of older individuals and also the majority of the audience was female,” the agent wrote. “There were few young people, although some family groups.” This apparently was good news to Hoover. That’s because as history teaches us, no movement can really grow exponentially without the activism of youthful members.

During a presentation that lasted for several hours, the agent wrote that the Ufologist “gave a lecture that was more of a religious-economics lecture than one of unidentified flying objects.” This seemed to surprise the agent, but the integration of UFOs, the economy and man’s spiritual progress has always been the holistic approach embraced by serious researchers of the subject. But before the Ufologist took the holistic approach in his presentation, the agent reported that the mystery man played a 45-minute movie, which included shots of “things purported to be flying saucers, and then a number of interviews from individuals from all walks of life regarding sightings they had made of such unidentified flying objects.”

Ancient Astronaut Theory

Once the credibility of the UFO phenomena and witnesses to them was established, the Ufologist then began his in-depth reveal, telling his flock of curious listeners that ancient astronauts had indeed seeded our planet with many kinds of animals in a Noah's Ark scenario, which is a story that has been recorded by just about every civilization that ever existed. He said this restocking event had become necessary because of a cataclysmic polar shift that wiped out the dinosaurs.

In my opinion, this part of the Urologist’s talk gives some credence to many of his claims because it is based in real science. As early as 1872 Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a French scholar and expert in ancient Mexican myths, discovered mention of cataclysmic events in ancient Mesoamerican myths that were sparked by a sudden shifting of the Earth’s axis. Furthermore, in 1948, electrical engineer Hugh Auchincloss Brown hypothesized that there had been a number of catastrophic pole shifts throughout earth’s history triggered by excess accumulation of ice at the poles. In 1950, Russian scholar Immanuel Velikovsky theorized in his book “Worlds in Collision” that the planet Venus originated from Jupiter as a comet and during two near approaches created devastating polar shifts. He also based his hypothesis on the accounts in ancient books from various cultures throughout the world. Finally, in 1958 college professor Charles Hapgood wrote a book with a foreword by Albert Einstein called “The Earth’s Shifting Crust” in which he also contended that such radical polar shifts occurred about every 20,000 to 30,000 years.

Although the Ufologist didn’t go into which polar –shifting theory he embraced, he did say that one of these events had made the earth the perfect environment for a colony of male ancient astronauts, who after arriving on our planet soon grew tired of waiting for their female counterparts to arrive from the stars. Perhaps their journey to the third planet from the Sun had been interrupted. So, they decided to mate with "intelligent, upright walking animals, which was the race of Eve." The intriguing element of this early ancient astronaut scenario is that it backed up in scripture from the Old Testament. In the next chapter, I will share some of my own research which corroborates what the Ufologist revealed that spring night in 1960.

Chapter 2 – The Watchers

The controversy surrounding the Old Testament "Book of Enoch" will always be with us as more theologies reject this unique chronicle than accept it as part of the cannon of the Bible. This is understandable because when interpreted literally, it makes little sense.

The famous R.H. Charles’ translation of the ancient book was first published in 1912. Then in 1948 with the discovery the Dead Sea Scrolls, seven fragmentary copies of the Aramaic text of the book were discovered. In later years, several portions of the Greek text surfaced.

True Events

It is my belief that Enoch was writing about true events and real experiences using the language and belief system of his ancient times to describe what he perceived as supernatural spiritual beings at war with one another. In truth, I believe Enoch really was witnessing two groups of ancient astronauts from a civilization eons ahead of man technologically, who were fighting over whether such an advanced civilization had the right to interfere, intermarry and conquer a primitive species. In my opinion, it is only when we view the so-called "Watchers" or "angels" as extraterrestrial visitors or ancient astronauts that this prophet's epic account makes any sense.

Shipwrecked or Observation Post?

I am going to give you the original scripture first, immediately followed by my interpretation of Enoch's writings.

CHAPTER VI.

1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.

2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'

3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.'

4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'

5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ˜in the days˜ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl.

8. These are their chiefs of tens.

CHAPTER VII.

1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.

My interpretation of chapter six and seven of the Book of Enoch is as follows:

An expedition of extraterrestrials either crashed or was shipped down to earth to observe mankind and watch its progress -- thus the term "Watchers." This is no different than what some of our embedded scientists do in the unexplored wilds with animals or secluded Amazon tribes. They observe, tag and try to learn as much as they can about their subjects without destroying their culture or interfering with their affairs. Again, I am speaking of today -- and not during the period of past European colonialism.

Gap in Time

Whether these visitors had crashed or had been transported to the ancient Middle East is not known. But according to Enoch's account, the 200 of them, who had become residents of the area, started to find earth women quite attractive. My best guess is that a long period of time had passed between when this crew had been dropped off or crashed on earth; therefore, as a group they decided it was time to procreate with the natives because they weren't sure if their mother ship would ever be returning. Or this action could have been purely a matter of survival. Perhaps their women had died, or perhaps they were dwindling in numbers and believed it was necessary to take action to preserve their kind. Or, perhaps they were just horny.

Interestingly, Enoch writes that their leader Semjâzâ openly expressed great concern about such a move; in fact, he told his fellow extraterrestrials that he would be held responsible and pay a heavy price for allowing such sexual copulation with earthlings. At this, his crew assured the leader that they had his back, which appeared to ease Semjâzâ reservations enough to give them the final O.K. -- and even join in. It could also be that he had no other choice and sensed if he tried to stop them his life would be in danger.

Broke the Prime Directive

It was soon after that the 200 visitors descended Mount Hermon, a place where so-called angels and God often communicated with the prophets, and took themselves human wives, therefore breaking the “prime directive,” using a Star Trek term. .In the next passage, Enoch begins to outline the consequences of these extraterrestrials mating with local women. Immediately, the visitors began to teach their wives basic chemistry and later they would teach their offspring the advantages of technology as applied to warfare with other humans. Soon after mating with humans, the ancient astronauts had sowed the seeds for the disaster that followed.

Here’s how Enoch describes it in chapter 8 and 9, immediately followed by my interpretation.

CHAPTER VIII.

1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals ˜of the earth˜ and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.

2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, [paragraph continues] (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, ˜Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun˜, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.

CHAPTER IX.

1. And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.

2. And they said one to another: 'The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying† up to the gates of heaven.

3 ˜And now to you, the holy ones of heaven˜, the souls of men make their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High.".'

4. And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, ˜and God of the ages˜, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages!

5. Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee.

6. Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:

7. And Semjâzâ, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates.

8. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins.

9. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.

10. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth.

11. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and [paragraph continues] Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.'

My interpretation of chapters eight and nine of the Book of Enoch

In chapter eight Enoch tells of the extraterrestrials not only copulating with earth women -- but also teaching earth men how to forge superior weaponry from metals. This would no doubt change the balance of power between the local clans, tribes and the extraterrestrials. Enoch also reports that the “watchers” corrupted the earthlings' culture by introducing them to jewelry, make up and promiscuous sex.

New Science and Technologies

But even more harmful was the fact that the extraterrestrials were teaching their earth wives meteorology, medicine and astronomy, which Enoch describes in his primitive terms as “enchantments” and “knowledge of the clouds.”

Hybrid Offspring

Still, the most grievous act the visitors committed that shook the very foundations of the earth was the fact the ancient astronauts were producing hybrid children, who Enoch describes as giants. Remember, a man who stood more than 6 foot tall would have been considered a giant in an era when the average man only stood about 5 feet. In addition, Enoch alludes to the fact that the extraterrestrials, their offspring and the earthlings they took under their wings were creating bloody havoc on the rest of the region’s tribes and easily conquering them. These primitive tribes were no match for the extraterrestrials and their offspring.

In chapter nine, Enoch tells us that the extraterrestrial superiors of this rogue group of ancient astronauts had become aware of their actions and were not pleased at all. In fact, in future chapters he cites how they plan and take severe action against the rebels. So, you can see that the Ufologist in the FBI’s report was not just pulling his claims of ancient astronauts out of the air; he obviously was well read in the intertwining of Earth’s cultures and the biblical history of these extraterrestrial beings.

Chapter 3 Ancient Astronauts and Religions

This Ufologist then went on to tell his potential followers that Moses and other prophets were given the 10 Commandments and other spiritual and moral revelations directly from extraterrestrials. He also credited ancient astronauts with providing “manna from heaven” to many different groups of people on earth who were facing extinction through starvation. The mysterious Ufologist further stated that references to manna from heaven could be found in Native American stories handed down for generations that told of corn and potatoes – potatoes were not known in Europe at this time – being brought to them by a “flaming canoe.” The Ufologist contended that this refers to a space ship because the Indians considered the canoe their highest form of transportation. He added that cultures throughout the ancient world referred to these same extraterrestrial vehicles as “winged chariots and winged white horses.” While such speculation is commonplace today, in 1960 this was a radical concept.

Ties between Jesus Christ & Ancient Astronauts

However, some of the concepts the Ufologist put forth that evening long ago, will still raise eyebrows today and spark cries of blasphemy. Here is what he said:

“Jesus was born of Mary, who was a space person sent here already pregnant in order to show the earth people the proper way to live,” he said.

My own research has found that claims of a God-incarnate savior being born of a virgin such as Mary are not confined to Christianity. In his book “The World’s 16 Crucified Saviors,” written in the late 1800s by researcher and spiritualist Kersey Graves, he lists the many claims in various world cultures of divine saviors of mankind being born of a virgin.

“From the religious records of India, Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, Mexico, Thibet, etc. Maia, mother of Sakia and Yasoda of Chrishna; Celestine, mother of the crucified Zulis; Chimalman, mother of Quex-alcote; Semele, mother of the Egyptian Bacchus, and Minerva, mother of the Grecian Bacchus; Prudence, mother of Hercules; Alcmene, mother of Alcides; Shing-Mon, mother-of Yu, and Mayence, mother of Hesus, were all as confidently believed to be pure, holy and chaste virgins, while giving birth to these Gods, sons of God, Saviors and sin-atoning Mediators, as was Mary, mother of Jesus, and long before her time.”

The Ufologist went on to claim that the ancient astronauts had their hands in all of the revelations of the great religious teachers and their communications with so-called "angels" was really their communication with ancient astronauts trying to show them the way to live in peace and harmony.

Again, there is corroborating evidence to this statement in Graves’ book where he lists the prophets or god-incarnate saviors that have appeared throughout the ages claiming to have communicated with God, angels, or have been seen by their followers ascending into heaven. They include:

1. Chrishna of Hindostan.

2. Budha Sakia of India.

3. Salivahana of Bermuda.

4. Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and Orus, of Egypt.

5. Odin of the Scandinavians.

6. Crite of Chaldea.

7. Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia.

8. Baal and Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phenicia.

9. Indra of Thibet.

10. Bali of Afghanistan.

11. Jao of Nepaul.

12. Wittoba of the Bilingonese.

13. Thammuz of Syria.

14. Atys of Phrygia.

15. Xamolxis of Thrace.

16. Zoar of the Bonzes.

17. Adad of Assyria.

18. Deva Tat, and Sammonocadam of Siam.

19. Alcides of Thebes.

20. Mikado of the Sintoos.

21. Beddru of Japan.

22 Hesus or Eros, and Bremrillah, of the Druids.

23. Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls.

24. Cadmus of Greece.

25. Hil and Feta of the Mandaites.

26. Gentaut and Quexalcote of Mexico.

27. Universal Monarch of the Sibyls.

28. Ischy of the Island of Formosa.

29. Divine Teacher of Plato.

30. Holy One of Xaca.

31. Fohi and Tien of China.

32. Adonis, son of the virgin Io of Greece.

33. Ixion and Quirinus of Rome.

34. Prometheus of Caucasus.

35. Mohamud, or Mahomet, of Arabia.

An Extraterrestrial Rapture

Despite this worldwide and centuries old intervention by ancient astronauts, the Ufologist then went tell his audience that mankind had so-far failed miserably, and that only a few had embraced what the extraterrestrials were trying to teach them. In the FBI agent's report, he summed up the Urologist’s assertion that when mankind was on the brink of destroying the earth's ecology and themselves through rampant pollution and war, extraterrestrials would suddenly appear and evacuate those who were the last generation of their hybrid offspring.

Declassified FBI Documents Tell of Warm-Blooded Dinosaurs Revealed by Ufologist

While you might be thinking by this time that much of what the Ufologist proffered was a mixture of conjecture and pseudoscience, there are parts of his talk that were truly unexplainable.

Warm-Blooded Dinosaurs

In the report, the FBI agent says the Ufologist claimed that prehistoric dinosaurs had been brought to the earth by extraterrestrials that bred them here because the earth’s tropical climate at the time was perfect for creatures with 105-degree body temperatures. This statement alone probably made FBI analysts characterize the unidentified UFO lecturer as a crackpot because until 2011 dinosaurs were thought to be cold-blooded animals more akin to lizards than mammals. But in its June 28, 2011 edition, Scientific Daily reported that a recent analysis of dinosaur teeth by scientists at the California Institute of Technology found that the body temperature of this specimen to be 100.8 degrees Fahrenheit. – a far cry from that of a cold-blooded creature. In addition, recent research has found that these so-called cold-blooded behemoths displayed the habits of mammals rather than lizards.

How Did He Know?

So, the question becomes how did a UFO lecturer 52 years ago know or even think about such a contrary notion that dinosaurs were warm-blooded creatures? Was it just a wild guess of a mad man, or advance scientific information given him by extraterrestrials?

Bending Light and Alien Invisibility

The Ufologist also told his audience that extraterrestrials were able to keep themselves well hidden because they had perfected a technology that could "bend light" by using a special magnetic field that rendered them invisible. This is quite interesting considering that many scientists of today are pursuing the same technology to create invisibility for military purposes! Wired magazine reported Jan. 25, 2012 that a team of researchers had discovered a way to bend light and render a three-dimensional object invisible. “It’s an incredible breakthrough, but one that won’t turn soldiers into ghostly GIs just yet,” the article said. “So far, researchers have figured out how to cloak free-standing objects from high-frequency wavelengths, like the microwave spectrum. They’ve still got to tackle the challenge of making a 3-D object invisible at optical wavelengths — what the human eye would be able to see.”

So, once again this Ufologist from 1960 appeared to have foreknowledge of technology and science yet to be discovered. According to the agent's report, the Ufologist then went on to say that the sudden uptick in UFO sightings and alien visitations experienced in the 1950s and 1960s was a direct result of the extraterrestrials' concern with United States and other countries testing nuclear bombs above and below ground that could possibly "upset the earth's rotation and, as in the instance of the French bomb explosion in North Africa, actually caused earthquakes."

Chapter 4 – Reasons for Denial

Visitors In Touch With World Leaders

The Ufologist asserted that the extraterrestrials, who were in fact the ancient astronauts described throughout earth's myths and religious books, had made contact with world leaders, but that these leaders decided not to divulge this communication. The Ufologist further claimed that officials made a calculated decision not to reveal the extraterrestrials' presence, not because they feared it would panic the masses, but for other more practical reasons such as a worldwide economic collapse precipitated by alien technology.

"Due to the number of scientific discoveries already made and that will be made [as a direct result of alien technology] which are labor saving and of almost permanency so that replacements would not be needed." The Ufologist went as far to say that the world economy "would collapse under ideas brought by space people."

Would Unlimited Free Energy Cause Chaos?

Today, some speculate that extraterrestrial technology would open the door to free and unlimited energy that could be made available with very little effort worldwide. One only has to think about how this would crush the energy industry and all of its horizontal and vertical markets to understand how such a development would be feared and shunned by world governments and the international corporations that support them..

One only has to look at the 20 century genius inventor Nikola Tesla, who died nearly penniless in 1943 to see the corporate world’s resistance to such a reality. During his lifetime Tesla, who invented the wireless radio and scores of other inventions, claimed to have experienced blinding flashes of light after which revolutionary engineering ideas were planted in his mind. One of those ideas was free energy that could be distributed throughout the world wirelessly. Fear of his free-energy vision motivated Westinghouse to offer Tesla a billion dollars to curtail his research. Tesla ripped up the contact, according to published accounts, but was soon ostracized by corporate America.

So it is understandable that our present corporate-run world governments would do everything in their power to avoid revealing the reality of extraterrestrials or their superior technology. To do so would shake the very foundations of the world’s political and religious institutions. The status quo would be swept away in the twinkling of an eye. A new paradigm would mushroom that could not be controlled by government or religious leaders.” Oh, the horror, the horror,” would be the chant of the world’s oligarchs.

Declassified Handwritten Hoover Note Confirms Existence of Captured UFOs

In summary, this is what I have deciphered out of this FBI report I call the “Ancient Astronaut Papers.” You may find something altogether different. But before we finish on this topic, I want to share with you another FBI document I recently discovered in its vault.

It is a handwritten note in which former Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, confirms the existence of recovered flying discs.

The note was a response by Hoover's right-hand man and close lifelong friend Clyde Tolson to a July 10, 1947 request by Army Brigadier General George F. Schulgen requesting FBI help “...in locating and questioning individuals who first sighted the so-called flying discs...” This request came just days after the Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash, or crashes, depending upon which declassified documents you wish to believe. But it is Hoover's response that nails down the fact that he and other leaders of the U.S. intelligence community not only knew of crashed UFOs but were very interested in examining them.

The Memo

Responding to the General's request for FBI help Tolson wrote on the memo on July 15, “I think we should do this. “Hoover then responded in his own handwriting, “I would do this but before agreeing to it we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the La. case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination."

More Controversy

To me, Hoover’s note appears to be very cut and dry. Hoover agreed to help the Army on the condition that it allowed the FBI full access to the crashed flying discs, which it didn't in the past. However, as it is with all UFO research, Hoover's unclear handwriting about which disc he is referring to in the note has sparked controversy. Some researchers interpret his initials differently and believe Hoover was referring to a hoax UFO case that occurred around the same time, while others believe he was referring to the Roswell crash.

However, it is my opinion that the No. 1 man in the FBI would have cared little about examining hoax flying saucers, and in fact, was talking about the Roswell crash or crashes in which the Army whisked all the evidence away before Hoover or anyone from the FBI could examine them. The fact is that Hoover and all the intelligent community were interested -- and are still interested in -- ancient astronauts and flying discs. The FBI documents prove it.
