Spooks keeping track of UFO researchers and abductees?
For 60 years, federal agents and military intelligence have kept track of people who see UFOs.
That’s according to a shocking new book, “On the Trail of the Saucer Spies: UFOs and Government Surveillance.”
From the dawn of the modern flying-saucer era to today’s total-surveillance society, government spooks have paid particular attention to otherwise normal citizens who witness something strange in the skies.
British author Nick Redfern spent years researching the U.S. and U.K. interest in a phenomenon neither government officially believes is real.
He found FBI surveillance of so-called “alien abductees,” real Men in Black who harass and intimidate UFO witnesses, surveillance and phone-tapping of UFO researchers, tracking of hackers seeking alien secrets, still-classified files on such incidents as the “Roswell crash” of 1947, and widespread infiltration of groups such as NICAP, the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena.
“Some of the government concern was based on the post-World War II and Cold War fears about communist infiltration of the U.S. Other worries focused on links that might exist between some UFO-involved people and right-wing extremists,” Steve Hammons writes in the American Chronicle.
“There were technological and even public health aspects to some of their concerns. There seemed to be legitimate neutral and professional inquiry into reports that people had seen unusual and unidentified flying craft or had experienced closer encounters. Government investigators were often especially interested when the witnesses were pilots, military personnel, police officers and similarly credible observers.”
