                        Statement Released By:

                              John Lear

                          December 29, 1987

John Lear, a captain for a major US Airline has flown over 160 different types
of aircraft in over 50 different countries.  He holds 17 world speed record in
the Lear Jet and is the only pilot ever to hold every airline certificate
issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.  Mr. Lear has flown missions
worldwide for the CIA and other government agencies.   A former Nevada State
Senator candidate, he is the son of William P. Lear, designer of the Lear Jet
executive airplane, the 8-track stereo, and founder of Lear Siegler
Corporation.  Lear became interested in the subject of UFO's 13 months ago
after talking with United States Air Force Personnel who had witnessed a UFO
landing at Bentwaters AFB, near London, England, and three small aliens
walking up to the Wing Commander.

Note to the Press:
        The government of the United States continues to rely on your personal
and professional gullibility to suppress the information contained herein.
Your cooperation over the past 40 years has exceeded our wildest expectations
and we salute you.

        "The sun does not revolve around the Earth"
        "The United States Government has been in business with little gray
         extraterrestrials for about 20 years"

The first truth stated here got Giordano Bruno burned at the stake in AD 1600
for daring to propose that it was real.  The second truth has gotten far more
people killed trying to state it publicly than will ever be known.

But the truth must be told.  The fact that the Earth revolves around the sun
was successfully suppressed by the church for over 200 years.  It eventually
cause a major upheaval in the church, government, and thought.  A realignment
of social and traditional values.  That was in the 1800's.

Now, about 400 years after the first truth was pronounced we must again face
the shocking facts.  The "horrible truth" the government has been hiding from
us over 40 years.  Unfortunately, the "horrible truth" is far more horrible
than the government ever imagined.

In its effort to protect democracy, our government sold us to the aliens.  And
here is how it happened.  But before I begin, I'd like to offer a word in the
defense of those who bargained us away.  They had the best of intentions.

Germany may have recovered a flying saucer as early as 1939.  General James H.
Doolittle went to Sweden in 1946 to inspect a flying saucer that had crashed
there in Spitzbergen.

The "horrible truth" was known by only a very few persons: They were indeed
ugly little creatures, shaped like praying mantises and who were more advanced
than us by perhaps a billion years.  Of the original group that were the first
to learn the "horrible truth", several committed suicide, the most prominent
of which was General James V. Forrestal who jumped to his death from a 16th
story hospital window.  General Forrestal's medical records are sealed to this
day.

President Truman quickly put a lid on the secret and turned the screws so
tight that the general public still thinks that flying saucers are a joke.
Have I ever got a surprise for them.

In 1947, President Truman established a group of 12 of the top military
scientific personnel of their time.  They were known as MJ-12.  Although the
group exists today, none of the original members are still alive.  The last
one to die was Gordon Gray, former Secretary of the Army, in 1984.  As each
member passed away, the group itself appointed a new member to fill the
position.  There is some speculation that the group known as MJ-12 expanded to
at least several more members.

There were several more saucer crashes in the late 1940's, one in Roswell, New
Mexico, one in Aztec, New Mexico, and one near Laredo, Texas, about 30 miles
inside the Mexican border.

Consider, if you will, the position of the United States Government at that
time.  They proudly thought of themselves as the most powerful nation on
Earth, having recently produced the atomic bomb, and achievement so
stupendous, it would take Russia 4 years to catch up, and only with the help
of traitors to Democracy.  They had built a jet aircraft that had exceeded the
speed of sound in flight.  They had built jet bombers with intercontinental
range that could carry weapons of enormous destruction.  The post war era, and
the future seemed bright.  Now imagine what it was like for those same
leaders, all of whom had witnessed the panic of Orson Wells' radio broadcast,
"The War of the Worlds", in 1938.  Thousands of Americans panicked at a
realistically presented invasion of Earth by beings from another planet.
Imagine their horror as they actually viewed the dead bodies of these
frightening looking little creatures with enormous eyes, reptilian skin and
claw like fingers.  Imagine their shock as they attempted to determine how
these strange "saucers" were powered and could discover no part even remotely
similar to components they were familiar with: no cylinders or pistons, no
vacuum tubes or turbines or hydraulic actuators.  It is only when you fully
understand the overwhelming helplessness the government was faced with in the
late 40's that you can comprehend their perceived need for a total, thorough
and sweeping cover up, to include the use of "deadly force".

The cover-up was so successful that as late as 1985 a senior scientist with
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Dr. Al Hibbs, would
look at a video tape of an enormous flying saucer and state the record, "I'm
not going to assign anything to that (UFO) phenomena without a lot more data".
Dr. Hibbs was looking at the naked emperor and saying, "He certainly looks
naked, but that doesn't prove he's naked."

In July of 1952, a panicked government watched helplessly as squadron of
"flying saucers" flew over Washington, D.C., and buzzed the White House, the
Capitol Building, and the Pentagon.  It took all the imagination and
intimidation the government could muster to force that incident out of the
memory of the public.

Thousands of sightings occurred during the Korean war and several more sauces
were retrieved by the Air Force.  Some were stored at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base, some were stored at Air Force bases near the location of the crash
sight.

One saucer was so enormous and the logistic problems in transportation so
enormous that it was buried at the crash sight and remains there today.  The
stories are legendary on transporting crashed saucers over long distances,
moving only at night, purchasing complete farms, slashing through forests,
blocking major highways, sometimes driving 2 and 3 lo-boys in tandem with and
extraterrestrial load a hundred feet in diameter.

On April 30, 1964, the first communication between these aliens and the U.S.
Government took place at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.  3 saucers
landed at a prearranged area and a meeting was held between the aliens and
intelligence officers of the U.S. Government.

During the period of 1969-1971, MJ-12 representing the U.S. Government made a
deal with these creatures, called EBE's (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities,
named by Detley Bronk, original MJ-12 member and 6th President of Johns
Hopkins University).  The "deal" was that in exchange for "technology" that
they would provide to us, we agreed to "ignore" the abductions that were going
on and suppress information on the cattle mutilations.  The EBE's assured MJ-
12 that the abductions (usually lasting about 2 hours) were merely the ongoing
monitoring of developing civilizations.

In fact, the purposes for the abductions turned out to be:

        (1) The insertion of a 3mm spherical device through the nasal cavity
            of the abductee into the brain. the device is used for the
            biological monitoring, tracking, and control of the abductee.

        (2) Implementation of Posthypnotic Suggestion to carry out a specific
            activity during a specific time period, the actuation of which
            will occur within the next 2 to 5 years.

        (3) Termination of some people so that they could function as living
            sources for biological material and substances.

        (4) Termination of individuals who represent a threat to the
            continuation of their activity.

        (5) Effect genetic engineering experiments.

        (6) Impregnation of human females and early termination of pregnancies
            to secure the crossbreed infant.

The U.S. Government was not initially aware of the far reaching consequences
of their "deal".  They were led to believe that the abductions were
essentially benign and since they figured the abductions would probably go on
anyway whether they agreed or not, they merely insisted that a current list of
abductees be submitted, on a periodic basis, to MJ-12 and the National
Security Council.  Does this sound incredible?  An actual list of abductees
sent to the National Security Council?  Read on, because I have news for you.

The EBE's have a genetic disorder in that their digestive system is atrophied
and not functional.  Some speculate that they were involved in some type of
accident or nuclear war, or possibly on the back side of and evolutionary
genetic curve.  In order to sustain themselves they use an enzyme or hormonal
secretion obtained from the tissue that they extract from humans and animals.
(Note: Cows and Humans are genetically similar.  In the event of a national
disaster, cow's blood can be used by humans.)

The secretions obtained are then mixed with hydrogen peroxide and applied on
the skin by spreading or dipping parts of their bodies in the solution.  The
body absorbs the solution, then excretes the waste back through the skin.  The
cattle mutilations that were prevalent throughout the period from 1973 to 1983
and publicly noted through newspaper and magazine stories and included a
documentary produced by Linda Howe for the Denver CBS affiliate KMGH-TV, were
for the collection of these tissues by the aliens.  The mutilations included
genitals taken, rectums cored out to the colon, eyes, tongue, and throat all
surgically removed with extreme precision.  In some cases the incisions were
made by cutting between the cells, a process we are not yet capable of
performing in the field.  In many of the mutilations there was no blood found
at all in the carcass, yet there was no vascular collapse of the internal
organs.  This has been also noted in the human mutilations, one of the first
of which was Sgt. Jonathan P. Louette at the White Sands Missile Test Range in
1956, who was found three days after an Air Force Major had witnessed his
abduction by a "disk shaped" object at 0300 while on a search for missile
debris downrange.  His genitals had been removed, rectum cored out in a
surgically precise "plug" up to the colon, eyes removed and all blood removed
with, again, no vascular collapse.  From some of the evidence it is apparent
that this surgery is accomplished, in most cases, while the victim, animal or
human, is still alive.

The various parts of the body are taken to various underground laboratories,
one of which is known to be near the small New Mexico town of Dulce.  This
jointly occupied (CIA-Alien) facility has been described as enormous, with
huge tiled walls that "go on forever".  Witnesses have reported huge vats
filled with amber liquid with parts of human bodies being stirred inside.

After the initial agreement, Groom Lake, one of this nations most secret test
centers, was closed for a period of about a year, sometime between about 1972
and 1974, and a huge underground facility was constructed for and with the
help of the EBE's.  The "bargained for" technology was set in place but could
only be operated by the EBE's themselves.  Needless to say, the advanced
technology could not be used against the EBE's themselves, even if needed.

During the period between 1979 and 1983 it became increasingly obvious to MJ-
12 that things were not going as planned.  It became known that many more
people (in the thousands) were being abducted than were listed on the official
abduction lists.  In addition it became obvious that some, not all, but some
of the nation's missing children had been used for secretions and other parts
required by the aliens.

In 1979 there was an altercation of sorts at the Dulce laboratory.  A special
armed forces unit was called in to try and free a number of our people trapped
in the facility, who had become aware of what was really going on.  According
to one source, 66 of the soldiers were killed and our people were not freed.

By 1984, MJ-12 must have been in stark terror at the mistake they had made in
dealing with the EBE's.  They had subtly promoted "Close Encounters of the
Third Kind" and "E.T." to get the public used to "odd looking" aliens that
were compassionate, benevolent and very much our "space brothers".  MJ-12
"sold" the EBE's to the public, and were now faced with the fact that quite
the opposite was true.  In addition, a plan was formulated in 1968 to make the
public aware of the existence of aliens on earth over the next 20 years to be
culminated with several documentaries to be released during 1985-1987 period
of time.  These documentaries would explain the history and intentions of the
EBE's.  The discovery of the "Grand Deception" put the entire plans, hopes and
dreams of MJ-12 into utter confusion and panic.

Meeting at the "Country Club", a remote lodge with private golf course,
comfortable sleeping and working quarters, and its own private airstrip built
by and exclusively for the member of MJ-12, it was a factional fight of what
to do now.  Part of MJ-12 wanted to confess the whole scheme and shambles it
had become to the public, beg their forgiveness and ask for their support.
The other part (and majority) of MJ-12 argued that there was no way they could
do that, that the situation was untenable and there was no use in exciting the
public with the "horrible truth" and that the best plan was to continue the
development of a weapon that could be used against the EBE's under the guise
of "SDI", the Strategic Defense Initiative, which had nothing whatsoever to do
with a defense for inbound Russian nuclear missiles.  As these words are being
written, Dr. Edward Teller, "father" of the H-Bomb is personally in the test
tunnels of the Nevada Test Site, driving his workers and associates in the
words of one, "like a man possessed".  And well he should, for Dr. Teller is a
member of MJ-12 along with Dr. Kissenger, Admiral Bobby Inman, and possibly
Admiral Poindexter, to name a few of the current members of MJ-12.

Before the "Grand Deception" was discovered and according to a meticulous plan
of metered release of information to the public, several documentaries and
video tapes were made.  William Moore, a Burbank, California, based UFO
researcher who wrote "The Roswell Incident", a book published in 1980 that
detailed the crash, recovery and subsequent cover-up of a UFO with 4 alien
bodies, has a video tape of 2 newsmen interviewing a military officer
associated with MJ-12.  This military officer answers questions relating to
the history of MJ-12 and the cover-up, the recovery of a number of flying
saucers and the existence of a live alien (one of 3 living aliens captured and
designated, or named, EBE-1, EBE-2, and EBE-3, being held in a facility
designated as YY-II at Los Alamos, New Mexico.  The only other facility of
this type, which is electromagnetically secure, is at Edwards Air Force Base
in Mojave, California).  The officer names as previously mentioned plus a few
others: Harold Brown, Richard Helms, Gen. Vernon Walters, JPL's Dr. Lew Allen
and Dr. Theodore von Karman, to name a few of the current and past members of
MJ-12.

The officer also relates the fact that the EBE's claim to have created Christ.
The EBE's have a type of recording device that has recorded all of Earth's
history and can display it in the form of a hologram.  This hologram can be
filmed but because of the way holograms work does not come out very clear on
movie film or video tape.  The crucifixion of Christ on the Mount of Olives
has allegedly been put on film to show the public.  The EBE's claim to have
created Christ, which, in view of the "Grand Deception", could be an effort to
disrupt traditional values for undetermined reasons.

Another video tape allegedly in existence is an interview with an EBE.  Since
EBE's communicate telepathically, and Air Force Colonel serves as an
interpreter.  Just before the recent stock market correction in October of
1987, several newsmen, including Bill Moore, had been invited to Washington,
D.C., to personally film the EBE in a similar type interview, and distribute
the film to the public.  Apparently, because of the correction in the market,
it was felt the timing was not propitious.  In any case, it certainly seems
like an odd method to inform the public of extraterrestrials, but it would be
in keeping with the actions of a panicked organization who at this point in
time doesn't know which way to turn.

Moore is also in possession of more Aquarius documents, a few pages of which
leaked out several years ago and detailed the supersecret NSA project which
had been denied by them until just recently.  In a letter to Senator John
Glenn, NSA's Director of Policy, Julia B. Wetzel, wrote, "Apparently there is
or was an Air Force project with that name (Aquarius) which dealt with UFO's.
Coincidently, there is also an NSA project by that name."  NSA's project
Aquarius deals specifically with the "communications wit the aliens" (the
EBE's).  Within the Aquarius program was project "Snowbird", a project to
test-fly a recovered alien aircraft at Groom Lake, Nevada.  This project
continues today at that location.  In the words of an individual who works at
Groom Lake, "Our people are much better at taking things apart than they are
at putting them back together."

Moore, who claims he has a contact with MJ-12, feels that they have been
stringing him along, slipping him documents and providing him leads, promising
to go public with some of the information on extraterrestrials by the end of
1987.

Certain of Moore's statements lead one to believe that Moore himself is a
government agent working for MJ-12, not to be strung along, but string along
ever hopeful UFOlogists that the truth is just around the corner.  Consider:

        1. Moore states emphatically that he is not a government agent,
           although when Lee Graham (a Southern California based UFOlogist)
           was investigated by DIS (Defense Investigative Service) for
           possession of classified documents received from Moore, Moore
           himself was not.

        2. Moore states emphatically that the cattle mutilations of 1973-1983
           were a hoax by Linda Howe (producer of "A Strange Harvest") to
           create publicity for herself. He cites the book "Mute Evidence" as
           the bottom line of the hoax.  "Mute Evidence" was a government
           sponsored book to explain the mutilations in conventional terms.

        3. Moore states that the U.S.A.F. Academy physics book, "Introductory
           Space Science", vol. II chapter 13, entitled "Unidentified Flying
           Objects", which describes four of the most commonly seen aliens
           (one of which is the EBE) was written by Lt. Col. Edward R.
           Therkelson and Major Donald B. Carpenter, Air Force personnel who
           did not know what they were talking about and were merely siting
           "crackpot" references.  He, Moore, states that the book was
           withdrawn to excise the chapter.

If the government felt they were being forced to acknowledge the existence of
aliens on Earth because of the overwhelming evidence such as the October and
November sightings in Wytheville, Va., and recently released books such as
"Night Siege" (Hynek, J. Allen;Imbrogno, Phillip J.;Pratt, Bob:Night Siege,
Ballantine Books, Random House, New York), and taking into consideration the
"grand deception" and obviously hostile intentions of the EBE's, it might be
expedient for MJ-12 to admit the EBE's but conceal the information on the
mutilations and abductions.  If MJ-12 and Moore were in some kind of agreement
then it would be beneficial to Moore to tow the party line.  For example, MJ-
12 would say..."here are some more genuine documents...but remember...no
talking about the mutilations or abductions".  This would be beneficial to
Moore as it would supply the evidence to support his theory that E.T.'s exist
but deny the truths about the E.T.'s.  However, if Moore was indeed working
for MJ-12, he would follow the party line anyway...admitting the E.T.'s but
pooh poohing the mutilations and abductions.  If working alone, Moore might
not even be aware of the "grand deception".

Time will tell.  It is possible that Moore will go ahead and release the video
interview with the military officer around the first of the year, as he has
promised.  From MJ-12's point of view, the public would be exposed to the
information without really having to believe it because Moore is essentially
not as credible a source as, say, the President of the United States.  After a
few months of digestion and discussion, a more credible source could emerge
with a statement that yes in fact the interview was essentially factual.  This
scenario would cushion somewhat the blow to the public.  If, however, Moore
does not release the tape by, say, February 1 of 1988, but comes instead with
a story similar to: "MJ-12 has informed me that they are definitely planning a
release of all information by October of 88.  I have seen the plan and have
seen the guarantee that this will happen, so I have decided to withhold the
release of my video tape at this time as it may cause some problems with MJ-
12's plans."  This would in effect buy more time for MJ-12 and time is what
they desperately need.

Now you ask, "Why haven't I heard about any of this?"  Who do you think you
would hear it from?  Dan Rather?  Tom Brokaw?  Sam Donaldson?  Wrong.  These
people just read the news, they don't find it.  They have ladies who call and
interview witnesses and verify statements on stories coming over the wire
(either AP or UPI).  It's not like Dan Rather would go down to Wytheville,
Virginia, and dig into why there were 4 THOUSAND reported sightings in October
and November of 1987.  Better that Tom Brokaw or someone else should risk
their credibility on this type of story.  Tom Brokaw?  Tom wants Sam Donaldson
to risk his credibility.  No one, but no one, is going to risk their neck on
such outlandish ideas, regardless of how many people report sightings of 900
foot objects running them off the road.  In the case of the Wytheville
sightings, dozens of vans with NASA lettered on the side failed to interest
newsmen.  And those that asked questions were informed that NASA was doing a
weather survey.

Well then, you ask, what about our scientists?  What about Carl Sagan?  Isaac
Asimov?  Arthur C. Clarke?  Wouldn't they have known?  If Carl Sagan knows
then he is committing a great fraud through the solicitation of memberships in
the Planetary Society, "to search for extraterrestrial intelligence".  Another
charade into which the U.S. Government dumps million of dollar every year is
the radiotelescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell University
with - guess who? - Carl Sagan.  Cornell is ostensibly searching for signals
from Outer Space, a sign maybe, that somebody is out there.  It is hard to
believe that relatively intelligent astronomers like Sagan could be so
ignorant.

What about Isaac Asimov?  Surely the most prolific science fiction writer of
all time would have guessed by now that there must be an enormous cover-up?
Maybe, but if he knows he's not saying.  Perhaps he's afraid that Foundation
and Empire will turn out to be inaccurate.

What about Arthur C. Clarke?  Surely the most technically accurate of Science
Fiction writers with very close ties to NASA would have at least a hint of
what's really going on.  Again, if so he isn't talking.  In a recent Science
Fiction survey, Clarke estimates that contact with extraterrestrial
intelligent life would not occur before the 21st Century.

If the government won't tell us the truth and the major networks won't even
give it serious consideration, then what is the big picture, anyway?  Are the
EBE's, having done a hundred thousand or more abductions (possibly millions
worldwide), built an untold number of secret underground bases (Groom Lake,
Nevada; Sunspot, Datil, Roswell, and Pine Town, New Mexico, just to name a
few) getting ready to return to wherever they came from?  Or, form the obvious
preparations are we to assume that they are getting ready for a big move?  Or
is the more sinister and most probable situation that the invasion is
essentially complete and it is all over but the screaming?

A well planned invasion of Earth for it's resources and benefits would not
begin with mass landings of ray-gun equipped aliens.  A properly planned and
executed invasion by a civilization thousands and probably hundreds of
thousands of years in advance of us would most likely be complete before even
a handful of people, say 12?, realized what was happening.  No fuss, no muss.
The best advice I can give you is this: Next time you see a flying saucer and
are awed by its obvious display of technology and gorgeous lights of pure
color - RUN LIKE HELL!
