UFO conspiracy book: the U.S. Navy, Star Trek, and BSG

Post Reply New Topic

Though I am what might be termed non-committal as to how much validity is assigned to the UFO field it is interesting and entertaining. And I remain ambivalent about its validity even while writing my own sci-fi/fantasy stories.
Bought this last week out of curiosity. Though it must be admitted that since Dad retired a USN Commander the uniform got my attention, and, yes, the gal did too The what I guess are dress whites is same uniform Dad wore in wedding way back in the early 60s and I gotta say he looked quite studly in it.

Premise of book is there has been a secret alien inspired and assisted Navy space program since the 1950s. Also claimed is that a couple alien races have infiltrated the defense industry and the military from the same period.
What interests me the most is claims that Star Trek TOS, and Battlestar Galactica, apparently both versions, were influenced by leaked bits traceable back to a few Admirals as part of gradual disclosure. The tracng back being mostly that this person was in the same place as this person at that time, or they worked in the same division, that kind of stuff. And, the Navy's secret space program is said to currently have some pretty good sized ships out in the galaxy.
Hmm, really? Okay. Interesting.
(Hey, I know what I'll do; next time visiting Mom and Dad I'll show Dad the book and ask if this is true and then when he rejects the idea out of hand of course that is proof it is true, I mean, that's how these things are supposed to work, right!)
Book has some 400+ footnotes: I have not looked in to their validity and likely won't expend the effort.

Now I am not sure I believe that about BSG and Star Trek I mean I'd think robots would be further advanced and at least the idea that intelligent life on other planets is likely would be encouraged more to get people 'used' to the shock of it or whatever. But I would like to read that book...it looks pretty intriguing even if it isn't particularly 'true'.

It is definitely not a novel, is laid out like some kind of textbook with samples and documentation and is about as exciting. But then it isn't meant to be exciting, it is meant to relay information.

Well obviously no Earthling could have dreamed up Star Trek, nor Battlestar Galatica, without the help of real Klingons, or Romulans.

So it must be true.



Its well known fact that evolution on exosolar planets can have only two end results: bug eyed monsters, or scantily clad hotties (or tightly clad hotties)!

Creatures who evolved for five billion years on a seperate planet in a seperate solar system from ours would inevitably look just like Candace Bergman. How else COULD they evolve?

So it all sounds very grounded in science to me!
