“The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.”

Famous Quotes - Military

Name:
Admiral Delmar Fahrney

Quotes:

Reliable reports indicate there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds and controlled by thinking intelligences.

A public statement, 1957.

No agency in this country or Russia is able to duplicate at this time the speeds and accelerations which radars and observers indicate these flying objects are able to achieve.

Printed in New York Times. Admiral Fahrney was former head of the Navy’s guided-missile program.

Name:
Brig. General George Shulgen

Quotes:

It is the considered opinion of some elements that the object may in fact represent an interplanetary craft of some kind.

From a Draft Intelligence Collections Memorandum by Brig. Geneneral George Shulgen, Oct. 28, 1947

Name:
Captain Bill Uhouse

Quotes:

The [flight] simulator was for the extraterrestrial craft they had a 30 meter one that crashed in Kingman, Arizona, back in 1953. I was inside the actual alien craft for a start-up....There are probably two or three dozen [ARVs] that we built.

From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Captain Bill Uhouse was in the US Marine Corps.

Name:
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker

Quotes:

Flying saucers are real. Too many good men have seen them, that don’t have hallucinations.

Captain Rickenbacker was known as, American Ace of Aces, medal of honor-winning commander of the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron in WWI, with 26 kills.

Name:
Captain Edward J. Ruppelt

Quotes:

Every time I get skeptical, I think of the other reports made by experienced pilots and radar operators, scientists, and other people who know what they are looking at. These reports were thoroughly investigated and they are still unknowns.

We have no aircraft on this earth that can at will so handily outdistance our latest jets... The pilots, radar specialists, generals, industrialists, scientists, and the man on the street who have told me, I wouldn’t have believed it either if I hadn’t seen it myself, knew what they were talking about. Maybe the Earth is being visited by interplanetary space ships.

When four college professors, a geologist, a chemist, a physicist, and a petroleum engineer report seeing the same UFOs on fourteen different occasions, the event can be classified as, at least, unusual. Add the fact that hundreds of other people saw these UFOs and that they were photographed, and the story gets even better. Add a few more facts, that these UFOs were picked up on radar and that a few people got a close look at one of them, and the story begins to convince even the most ardent skeptic.

Ruppelt, Chief of Project Blue Book, from his book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, 1956.

Name:
Captain Robert Salas

Quotes:

[The security guard called and] said, Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn. We lost between 16 to 18 ICBMs [nuclear-tipped InterContinental Ballistic Missiles] at the same time UFOs were in the area...[A high-ranking Air Force Officer] said, Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported this incident were sent off to Viet Nam.

From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Captain Robert Salas was a US Air Force officer.

Name:
Captain Thomas Mantell

Quotes:

It appears to be a metallic object......tremendous in size....directly ahead and slightly above .... I am trying to close for a better look.

Mantell, a USAF pilot, reporting to the tower at Goodman Air Force base, a UFO they had picked up on radar and requested him to investigate. Mantell’s plane was later found strewn across a stretch of ground just southwest of Franklyn, Kentucky.

Name:
Colonel Carl Sanderson

Quotes:

From their maneuvers and their terrific speed I am certain their flight performance was greater than any aircraft known today.

Sanderson, USAF, commenting on his sighting of two circular silver UFOs in close proximity to his plane over Hermanas, New Mexico. The UFOs were said to make a series of seemingly impossible maneuvers before disappearing at an astonishing speed and showing up again over El Paso, Texas.

Name:
Colonel Charles Senn

Quotes:

I sincerely hope that you are successful in preventing a reopening of UFO investigations.

In a letter from , to Lieutenant General Duward Crow of NASA, dated 1 September 1977. Colonel Senn was Chief of the Air Force, Community Relations Division.

Name:
Colonel Joseph J. Bryan III

Quotes:

These UFOs are interplanetary devices systematically observing the earth, either manned or under remote control, or both.

Information on UFOs, including sighting reports, has been and is still being officially withheld.

Bryan was founder of the CIA’s psychological warfare staff, special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force, advisor to NATO, and board member of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomenon (NICAP).

Name:
Colonel Philip J. Corso

Quotes:

If you suppress the truth it becomes your enemy...if you expose the truth it becomes your weapon. I had the evidence that a crash did happen. I ask you this, were you there with me? did you have the clearances? They can’t answer these questions, they simply criticize with no evidence.

I had the evidence that a crash did happen here....Give this information to the young people of the world and this country....They want it. Give it to them. Don’t hide it and tell lies and make stories. They’re not stupid....It’s their information. It doesn’t belong to the Army or the Department of Defense. If it’s classified, take the classification off and give it to them!

Colonel Corso made this impassioned plea not long before his death in the summer of 1998. He was a member of President Eisenhower’s National Security Council and later went on to become head of the U.S. Army Research and Development department’s Foreign Technology Desk where he claimed to have worked with General Arthur Trudeau in seeding American military and industrial institutions with technology under his stewardship which came from a crashed alien craft in Roswell New Mexico.

Name:
Colonel Robert Willingham

Quotes:

Headquarters wouldn’t let us go after it and we played around a little bit. We got to watching how it made 90 degree turns at this high speed and everything. We knew it wasn’t a missile of any type. So then, we confirmed it with the radar control station, and they kept following it, and they claimed that it crashed somewhere off between Texas and the Mexico border.

Willingham, USAF, from an affidavit filed in the 1970s. Willingham and his navigator were test flying an F-94 on Sept.6, 1950 out of San Angelo, Texas when they were alerted by radar control operators of a UFO in their area.

Name:
Colonel Steve Wilson

Quotes:

I have no feelings, truthfully. My association with MJ-12 has left me dead inside. I feel myself still cold and calculating. I never let anyone get close to me. I feel like a human robot. I have killed mercilessly and lied for the good of the country, or so I believed at the time.

The things I have seen are beyond human understanding and totally unbelievable. I only have a desire to help humanity somehow through what is bound to come soon.

Col. Wilson, USAF, revealed that he was in charge of Project Pounce, the unit tasked to retrieve downed UFOs and prevent civilian access to them. He also revealed the designations and manufacturers of U.S. antigravity craft.

Name:
Colonel Thomas Jefferson Dubose

Quotes:

There were orders to ship the material from Roswell directly to Wright Field by special plane. Dubose was adjutant to Brig. General Roger Ramey at the time of the Roswell Incident. This statement contradicts the official story that the material was first flown to Fort Worth, Texas, where Ramey posed with Major Marcel and pieces of a weather balloon for the media.

Name:
Corporal Jonathan Weygandt

Quotes:

[The UFO] was buried in the side of a cliff. When I first saw it, I was scared. I think the creatures calmed me...[Later] I was arrested [by an Air Force officer]. He was saying, Do you like the Constitution? I’m like, Yeah. He said, We don’t obey. We just do what we want. And if you tell anybody [about us or the UFO], you will just come up missing.

From Disclosure, Steven M. Greer. Corporal Weygandt was in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Name:
General Curtis LeMay

Quotes:

We had a number of reports from reputable individuals (well-educated serious-minded folks, scientists and fliers) who surely saw something.

As Air Force Chief of Staff, in his 1965 autobiography, Mission With LeMay, stated that although the bulk of UFO reports could be explained as conventional or natural phenomena, some could not.

Many of the mysteries might be explained away as weather balloons, stars, reflected lights, all sorts of odds and ends. I don’t mean to say that, in the unclosed and unexplained or unexplainable instances, those were actually flying objects. All I can say is that no natural phenomena could be found to account for them... Repeat again: There were some cases we could not explain. Never could.

Statement from 1965 autobiography Mission With LeMay, with MacKinlay Kantor, New York: Doubleday, 1965.

Name:
General Douglas MacArthur

Quotes:

The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.

The New York Times, October 8, 1955

You now face a new world a world of change. The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres and missiles marked the beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind , the chapter of the space age... We speak in strange terms: of harnessing the cosmic energy... of the primary target in war, no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy.

An address by General Douglas MacArthur to the United States Military Academy at West Point, May 12, 1962.
