Project Serpo
The Zeta Reticuli Exchange Program
The gradual release of confidential documents pertaining to a top secret exchange program of twelve US military personnel to Serpo, a planet of Zeta Reticuli, between the years 1965-78 |
The original posting by Anonymous, and three apparently independent supporting comments from other list members
First let me introduce myself. My name is Request Anonymous. I am a retired
employee of the U.S. Government. I won't go into any great details about my
past, but I was involved in a special program.
As for Roswell, it occurred, but not like the story books tell. There were
two crash sites. One southwest of Corona, New Mexico and the second site at
Pelona Peak, south of Datil, New Mexico.
The crash involved two extraterrestrial aircraft. The Corona site was found
a day later by an archaeology team. This team reported the crash site to the
Lincoln County Sheriff's department. A deputy arrived the next day and summoned
a state police officer. One live entity [EBE] was found hiding behind a rock.
The entity was given water but declined food. The entity was later transferred
to Los Alamos.
The information eventually went to Roswell Army Air Field. The site was examined
and all evidence was removed. The bodies were taken to Los Alamos National
Laboratory because they had a freezing system that allowed the bodies to remain
frozen for research. The craft was taken to Roswell and then onto Wright Field,
Ohio.
The second site was not discovered until August 1949 by two ranchers. They
reported their findings several days later to the sheriff of Catron County,
New Mexico. Because of the remote location, it took the sheriff several days
to make his way to the crash site. Once at the site, the sheriff took photographs
and then drove back to Datil.
Sandia Army Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico was then notified. A recovery team
from Sandia took custody of all evidence, including six bodies. The bodies
were taken to Sandia Base, but later transferred to Los Alamos.
The live entity established communications with us and provided us with a
location of his home planet. The entity remained alive until 1952, when he
died. But before his death, he provided us with a full explanation of the
items found inside the two crafts. One item was a communication device. The
entity was allowed to make contact with his planet.
Somehow, I never knew this information, but a meeting date was set for April
1964 near Alamogordo New Mexico. The Aliens landed and retrieved the bodies
of their dead comrades. Information was exchanged. Communication was in English.
The aliens had a translation device.
In 1965, we had an exchange program with the aliens. We carefully
selected 12 military personnel; ten men and two women. They were trained,
vetted and carefully removed from the military system. The 12 were skilled
in various specialities.
Near the northern part of the Nevada Test Site, the aliens landed and the
12 Americans left. One entity was left on Earth. The original plan was for
our 12 people to stay 10 years and then return to Earth.
But something went wrong. The 12 remained until 1978, when they were returned
to the same location in Nevada. Seven men and one woman returned. Two died
on the alien's home planet. Four others decided to remain, according to the
returnees. Of the eight that returned, all have died. The last survivor died
in 2002.
[Clarification
(BR/ Victor Martinez): the paragraph above contains a typo in the original.
Twelve team members went, and eight returned – two having died on Serpo
and two having chosen to remain; these two were not ordered to return.]
The returnees were isolated from 1978 until 1984 at various military installations.
The Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI) was responsible for
their security and safety. AFOSI also conducted debriefing sessions with the
returnees.
I have never seen or read anything about the exchange program. I once heard
a little bit of information from Linda Howe, but she didn't have much information.
I've monitored your e-mails for about six months. I've read e-mails from you
and others. But I've never seen nor heard the truth about the real Roswell
incident or the exchange program.
I'd like to hear what others say about this.
Comment
1 (by Gene Loscowski):
Who is this person? Most of the information is absolutely correct.
However, I never heard of any females going. To the best of my knowledge,
we had 12 men, all military men. Eight USAF, two Army and two Navy guys. I
think the females are a red herring. But maybe I just didn't have the clearance
for that.
They left and was gone 20 years, as I was told. When they came back they were
put in quarantine for 365 days at the complex. Only eight came back, that
much is right. Two died a few years into their assignment on the Visitor's
planet. Two others decided to remain and maybe are still alive today. Since
their return, all have died. The last being in 2003 in a VA hospital.
As for the Roswell incident. Whomever sent the e-mail is correct.
The complete debriefing is contained in: "PROJECT SERPO,"
Final Report-80HQD893-020, classified TS, Codeword. Ask [Rick] Doty about
that report because I think it is an OSI report. Paul [McGovern] should be
commenting on this since he was involved in the debriefing.
[Clarification by Victor Martinez, 1 December: Ths project classification
was provided by Paul McGovern, not Gene Loscowski. Apologies for the error.]
Comment 2 (by Paul McGovern):
Interesting but not totally correct [commenting on Anonymous's original e-mail].
As for the Roswell incident: absolutely right. Few people have ever gotten
it entirely correct. Two crash sites, not one. As for the exchange program:
Unauthorized Release of Classified Information, as I see it. But maybe someone
currently within our government wants it out. No females were sent. Twelve
men, all military. 8 USAF, 2 U.S. Army and 2 U.S. Navy. Two were doctors;
three were scientists; two were language specialists; two were security personnel;
two were pilots and one was the leader (Colonel-AF).
All were sheep-dipped and completely erased from the military roles. I'm not
totally sure of the training period, but I think it was about six months.
They were able to transmit messages to Earth by means of a communication system
set up prior to their trip.
One doctor and one of the security personnel died three years into their visit.
The doctor died of pneumonia and the security guy died of an injury. The exchange
team had to endure extreme hardship adjusting to the environment of the visitor's
planet.
The heat was extreme and took many years to adjust. The food was something
of a problem because the human system had problems digesting it. The team
took enough food for two years and rationed it another eight months, but eventually
had to eat the visitor's [Eben's: alien's name] food. This caused all team
members gastrointestinal problems. Eventually, they adjusted. The visitors
tried to create different foods but few worked.
The team was never isolated or restricted by the visitors. They could travel
as they wished and see whatever they wanted to see. After about six years,
the team moved to a northern portion of the visitor's planet, where the temperature
was cooler and which contained ample vegatation.
The visitors built a small community for the team. The only major problem
was time. Time was different on the visitor's planet. I don't think anyone
ever figured it out. The visitors had no clocks. They didn't judge or account
for time as we did. The visitors found our attempts to account for time strange.
The visitors were extremely disciplined in their daily lives. Every visitor
worked on a schedule, which was not by a clock, but by the movement of their
sun. Each little community had a large tower, which filtered the sun through.
When the sun was at a particular point on the tower, it meant the visitors
had to do a particular thing.
There was never complete darkness on the visitors planet. It got dim but not
dark. The visitors had rest periods, but not like our sleep periods. The visitors
rested three times during their sun days. Our team determined the entire work
period was approx. 43 hours. They had three rest periods within that 43 hours.
That is still about 14 hours straight,... couldn't get too many of our workers
to do that! The visitors also didn't have months or years.
They did have life periods, as our team coined it. It was impossible to judge
the visitor's age, although our team did find graves. The population of the
visitor's planet was about 650,000. There were small communities throughout
the planet. There were underground rivers, which fed into open valleys. There
was industry.
But all of the food was grown, either in fields or in large buildings. They
did have animals. Different types. Strange large beasts, they used for work
and other things, but no meat was eaten. The geological make up of the planet
was so much different than ours. Few mountains, no oceans, some trees or something
similar to trees and no other civilization except the Ebens.
Everyone looked the same initially to our team. But after
some time, the team members learned to identify different Ebens by their voices.
Although the Ebens couldn't speak English, they did make noises that our team
members were able to translate into English. After five years, we had their
language completely translated into English. The complete debriefing accounts
for about three thousand pages.
Comment 3 (by “Anonymous II”):
I would prefer you keep my name private.
But here is my evaluation of the information from "Anonymous."
1. As for the Roswell incident [described by Anonymous in his e-mail]: This
was the story I read in the historical document called the "Red Book."
Almost exactly to the word. Although there were more details about the crash
sites and what was recovered.
2. As for the Exchange Program: I read about it but thought there were 12
men; I don't recall any women. But that was about all I knew. We did have
a special unit that handled their debriefing but USAF positive intelligence
was also involved. I was never involved in that program, but I knew other
agents who were.
3. I'd like to contact this source. I have about a million questions to ask!
I heard Linda Howe speak about the exchange program some years ago. I always
wondered where she got her information.
Keep up the excellent work!

Paul is not correct. There were two females, one being a doctor and the other
being a linguist.
There was a period of darkness, but not total darkness. The Eben planet is
located within a solar system of the Zeta
Recticular Star System [two 5th-magnitude yellow double stars, similar
to our Sun located near the Large Magellanic Cloud]. The planet had two suns
but their angles were small and allowed some darkness on the planet depending
on one's location.
The planet was tilted which allowed the northern part of the planet to be
cooler. The planet was a little less than Earth's size. The atmosphere was
similar to Earths and contained the elements of CHON [Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen]. Zeta Recticular is approximately 37 light years from us. It took
our team, in an Eben craft, nine months to travel the distance.
During the trip, each of our team members were frequently dizzy, disoriented
and suffered headaches. The craft did not go through any weightlessness during
the trip. The craft was very large and allowed the team to exercise.
Once the team arrived on the Eben planet, it took them several months to adjust
to the atmosphere. During the adjustment period, they suffered headaches,
dizziness and disorientation.
The bright suns of the Eben planet also presented problems. Although they
had sunglasses, they still suffered from the bright sunlight and the danger
of sun exposure. The radiation levels of the planet was a little higher than
that of Earth. They were careful to cover their bodies at all times.
The Ebens had no forms of refrigeration, except in industry. The temperature
of the planet, at the center portion, stayed between 94° and 115.°
They did have clouds and rain, but not frequently. At the northern hemisphere
of the planet, the temperature dropped to between 55 and 80 degrees. This
was too cool for the Ebens, or at least most. Our team did find Ebens living
in the north, but in very small villages.
Our team eventually relocated to the north in order to stay cool. The ground
transportation used by our team was similar to a helicopter. The power system
was a sealed energy device that provided electrical power and lift for the
craft. It was very easy to fly and our pilots learned the system within days.
The Ebens did have vehicles, which floated above the ground and did not have
any tires or wheels.
There were leaders, but no real form of government. There was virtually no
crime seen by the team. They had an army, which also acted as the police force.
But no guns or weapons of any type were seen by our team. There were regular
meetings within each small community. There was one large community, which
acted as the central point of the civilization. All the industry was at this
one large community. There was no money.
Every Eben was issued what they needed. No stores, malls or shopping locations.
There were central distribution centers where Ebens went to obtain items of
needs. All Ebens worked in some capacity. Children were kept very isolated.
The only trouble our team members got into was when they attempted to photograph
Eben children.
The Army politely escorted them away and cautioned them not to do it again.

Statistics on the Eben planet was collected by our team. Here is the pertinent
data for your UFO thread list:
| Diameter: | 7,218 miles |
| Mass: | 5.06 x 1024 |
| Distance from Sun #1: | 96.5 million miles |
| Sun #2: | 91.4 million miles |
| Moons: | 2 |
| Surface gravity: | 9.60m/s2 |
| Rotation Periods: | 43 hours |
| Orbit: | 865 days |
| Tilt: | 43 degrees |
| Temperature: | Min: 43° / Max: 126° |
| Distance from Earth: | 38.43 light years |
| Planet named by Team: | SERPO |
| Nearest planet to SERPO: | Named: OTTO |
| Distance: |
88 million miles (colonized by Ebens with research base, but no natural inhabitants on planet) |
| Number of planets in Eben Solar System: | Six |
| Nearest
inhabited planet to SERPO: |
Named: SILUS (SILUS is made up of creatures of various types, but no intelligent life forms. Ebens use the planet to mine minerals.) |
| Distance: | 434 million miles |
We did have visitors from nine other star systems.
The Grays, which some people characterize as being like the Ebens, were not.
They came from a planet near Alpha Centauri A.
[ALPHA CENTAURI is a nearby multiple star with a magnitude of -0.3 and
is the third brightest star in the sky. It consists of two yellow and orange
stars of magnitudes 0.0 and 1.4. There is also a much fainter third star,
an 11th magnitude red dwarf called Proxima Centauri. This is the closest to
our Sun, 4.2 light years away or about 0.2 light years closer to us than the
two brighter members of the Alpha Centauri system.]
The third class of visitors came from a G2 star system in Leo.
[LEO or LEO MINOR? LEO: Star distances range from 20-25 – 77 light
years away. Notable interest is Gamma Leonis which is a glorious double star
consisting of two golden orange giants of magnitudes 2.4 and 3.5. They are
a genuine binary pair orbiting each other every 600 years or so.
LEO MINOR: Squeezed between Leo and Ursa Major with its brightest star Beta
Leonis Minoris that has a magnitude of 4.2. It is a close double star which
are 145 light years away with an orbital period of 37 years.]
Another class of visitors came from a G2 star system in Epsilon Eridani.
[EPSILON ERIDANI is one of the closest naked-eye stars to our Sun. It
is 10.5 light years way with a magnitude of 3.7. Although somewhat cooler
and fainter than the Sun, it is otherwise similar.]
The visitors were classified by a code. The code, which was classified in
itself, was, "Extraterrestrial Entities" (ETE). ETE-2 were the Ebens,
the Grays were ETE-3, and so on.
The "Red Book" lists nine different visitors. We determined recently
that some of the visitors were the same type of race but a "mechanical
lifeform." They were hybrid beings that were created in a laboratory
rather than by natural birth.
The creatures were more like robots, although they were intelligent and could
make decisions. They might be the "hostile" visitors that some people
report.
To the best of my knowledge, we have NOT had any visitation since 1985 from
the Ebens.

Thanks for forwarding my information to your e-mail stream list without ID'ing
me. I realize it might be a little difficult for you to keep my name confidential
with the mounting pressure enormous, but I don’t wish to reveal it at
this time; perhaps to Richard C Doty in due time as his questions and online
demeanor seems to be the most fair, open minded, and his questions posed were
the most reasonable as I monitor the online feedback after each new posting.
I also realize your list of quizzical people have numerous
probing questions. I'll try to answer them, but you must understand that all
of this information is contained in a huge voluminous book. There are literally
hundreds of pages of scientific calculations trying to understand Serpo, the
orbit, etc. I could not possibly relate all of that information via e-mail.
Our scientists had the same questions, as posed by your audience. Our scientists
questioned our team members and the information they gathered. Our scientists
could not understand how the orbit of Serpo could revolve around the two suns
at the distance measured.
In the end, our scientists found that some things relating to that particular
system was different in physics compared to our system. There were some questions
about how our team measured the orbit and other calculations based on the
lack of a stable time base. For some reason – and I don't think this
was ever determined – our time instruments did not work on Serpo.
Now, considering this, you can understand the difficult job our team members
had making calculations without time. They had to come up with an alternate
method to measure speeds, orbits, etc.
Challenge: Try solving a problem in physics without being able to measure
time on Earth!
So you see, our team did the best they could with the instruments they had
and the hardships they developed attempting scientific calculations. It is
difficult for any Earth-based scientist to understand the different physics
in other solar systems or on other planets.
One of the questions sent me involved Kepler's Law of Planetary Motion. Our
team had that information. We had some of the best military scientists on
the team. But if you consider Kepler's Law, it requires time and our team
could only measure time in the conventional way. It was determined that Kepler's
Laws did not apply to that solar system.
MODERATOR's COMMENT: (Victor Martinez)
[Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician, 1571-1630. Kepler's
discovery of Mars' elliptical orbit led to the publication in 1609 of three
laws of planetary motion.
1) First law: States that a planet moves on an elliptical path with the sun
at one focus point.
2) Second law: States that a planet moves faster when closer to the sun and
slower when farther away.
3) Third law: Makes it possible to calculate a planet's relative distance
from the Sun. Specifically, the law states that the cube of a planet's average
distance from the Sun is equal to the square of the time it takes that planet
to complete its orbit.]
CONCLUSION: One of the things our Earth-based scientists learned was not to
apply Earth's laws of physics in a universal way.
Serpo was estimated to be about three billion years old. The two suns were
about five billion years old, but only by estimation.
The Eben civilization was estimated to be about 10,000 years old. They evolved
from another planet, not on Serpo. The original home planet of the Ebens was
threatened with extreme volcanic activity. The Ebens had to relocate to Serpo
in order to protect their civilization. This occurred some 5,000 years ago.
The Ebens had a great interplanetary battle with another
race about 3,000 years ago. The Ebens lost many thousands in their battle.
The Ebens completely eliminated all of their enemies. The Ebens have never
fought another war since. The Ebens have been space travelers for the past
2,000 years. The Ebens first visited Earth about 2,000 years ago.
Why does the Eben population number only about 650,000? The Ebens have a very
stable, structured civilization. Each male has a mate. They are allowed to
reproduce (in somewhat the same sexual way we do), but are limited to only
a specific number of children. Our team never saw a family with more than
two children.
The Eben civilization was so structured that they planned the birth of each
and every child, spacing them apart to allow the proper social grouping of
the civilization. Eben children matured at a super rate, compared to Earth
children. Our team watched live births, attended to by an Eben doctor, and
then watched the development of the child over a period of time, team member's
time. They matured at an alarming rate.
The Ebens had scientists, doctors and technicians. There was one educational
facility on the planet. If one was chosen, you attended the facility and learned
the job one was best qualified and suited for. Although it was extremely difficult
to judge or measure, the team estimated each Eben's IQ to be 165.
The Ebens had no single ruler. There was a "Council of Governors,"
which the team named. This group controlled every single action on the planet.
The members of the council seemed to have been around for a long time. Since
Ebens didn't age – or at least our team couldn't detect aging –
it was difficult to judge the age of each member.
There were about 100 different villages or living locations for the Ebens.
The Ebens only used a small portion of their planet. They did mine minerals
in remote areas of the planet and had a large industrial plant in the southern
portion of the planet near a body of water. Our team determined this plant
had some sort of hydroelectrical operation.
The Ebens developed a different type of electrical and propulsion system.
It was unknown to our team and I don't think we ever really understood it.
They were able to tap into a vacuum and bring back an enormous amount of energy
from that vacuum.
Our team's living quarters, which consisted of several small buildings, contained
electricity powered by a small box. This small box supplied all the power
our team needed. Ironically, the electrical equipment our team brought on
the trip worked using their power source only.
Ebens did die. Our team members saw deaths, some from accidents and some from
natural causes. The Ebens buried the bodies, similar to our method. Our team
saw two air accidents involving their intra-planet flying vehicle.
The Ebens worshipped a Supreme Being. It appeared to be some sort of diety
relating to the Universe. They conducted daily services, normally at the end
of the first work period. They had a building or church they entered to worship.
Our team left Earth in a large Eben spacecraft and flew to Serpo in approximately
nine months by our team's measurement of time. Upon our team's return, they
traveled on a newer Eben craft. The time, estimated by our team for the return,
was seven months.
[MODERATOR's ADDENDUM TO ABOVE (Victor Martinez)
Project Aquarius briefing document
ABOVE TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY
(TS/ORCON) – Most governmental documents pertaining to UFO sightings,
incidents and governmental policies, including "Project Blue Book,"
have been released to the public under FOIA or under various other release
programs.
MJ-12 felt the remaining documents and information (not relating to "Project
Aquarius" relating to technological facts regarding alien medical matters,
the fact that an alien was captured alive and survived three years under secrecy,
cannot be released to the public for fear the information would be obtained
by SHIS. There was other information obtained from EBE that was deemed sensitive
and not releasable to the public.
Notably, "Project Aquarius," Volume IX, which pertains to tracing
the alien's first visitation of Earth back some 5,000 years. EBE reported
that 2,000 years ago, his ancestors planted a human creature on earth to assist
the inhabitants of Earth in developing a civilization. This information was
only vague and the exact identity or background information on this homo-sapien
was not obtained.
Undoubtedly, if this information was released to the public, it would cause
a worldwide panic. MJ-3 has developed a plan that will allow release of Project
Aquarius, Volumes I – III.
The release program calls for a gradual release of information over a period
of time in order to condition the public for future disclosures. Attachment
5 of this briefing contains certain guidelines for future public releases.]
Comment (by Paul McGovern):
Sometimes the truth is hard to understand, especially by closed minded people.
Please read Einstein's statement made to a German scientific society on May
11, 1934. I won't actually quote him, but he said the dumbest people
in the world are the scientists who keep their minds closed to new ideas.
You are trying to base our scientific understandings on another world.
We found a long time ago that that type of thinking blocked
progress. We could never have understood the visitor's gifts if we had
people like some trying to figure it out. We had open minded scientists
who were able to think beyond the realm of Earth-based science.
I'm no scientist, but I know enough to keep an open mind. I cannot vouch
for Victor's source's statistics, but I know he must be speaking from knowledge
because it is the same knowledge I read years ago.
Just keep an open mind, people. Once you close that mind, you are lost
in your own misguided thoughts....
The complete debriefing accounts for about three thousand pages.

Thank you for the cooperation you display regarding my information. Your
attention to this matter is highly and greatly appreciated. I sometime type
faster that think and thus my fingers make the grammar/spelling errors!
My colleagues and I are discussing several different options regarding the
release of this information. First, we must obtain proper sanction from past
officials. The group called MJ-12 – which wasn't really the group that
controlled the information – but for the sake of clarity, we'll just
call them "MJ-12." The actual name of the group who controlled,
managed and oversaw the Serpo project was called ____ ____.
Many have died, but we still have a few around. We are asking their approval
for release. Next, we must obtain current official sanction. This may be a
little more difficult. Current DIA officials have very little knowledge of
this subject matter. However, we will move ahead with our plans. Our main
supporter is _____ ______ ______ , a former director of __________. He is
in our corner and will support our gradual release plan.
The proposal by one of your readers [Bill Hamilton] regarding the Web site
is a great idea. With the cooperation of several "co-authors," we
might create a Web site and post some information on that site. Until then,
I will continue to provide the official information only through you.
Regarding the Web site. I know we have some hurdles to overcome. Maybe that
would/wouldn't be a good first step. But we have several different options.
If Plan A doesn't work, maybe Plan B might. We have discussed everything from
an international press conference to a National Press Club news conference.
We are also considering your suggestion of releasing 100 key pages (out of
the 3,000) to you and then your forwarding them around the country to the
six key individuals you named in your e-mail: Dr ____ ____ , Dr ____ ____
, ____ ____ , ____ ____ , ____ ____ and ____ ____.
Of these individuals, I agree with you that it would be of manifest importance
to have someone like Dr ____ ____ , who has the stature and prominence in
the scientific community, come on board and "in the loop" to not
only give credibility to the programmed release, but also to assist in explaining
the complex scientific/physics theories and principles to the layperson.
We'll let you know.
I will provide some answers to the many questions once I find them. Remember,
I have over 3,000 pages of to view and another two sizeable volumes of other
supplementary data.
I've studied the documents and debriefing data. I cannot find answers to everyone's
questions, but I did find some answers especially to those posed by UFO thread
list member, Bill Ryan.
1) I find some of the questions [from various list members] to be very disturbing.
I expected thoughfulness in the responses, rather than criticism. The information
I am providing is coming directly from official documents. But I guess it's
difficult for our Earth-based scientists to understand something foreign to
them.
The criticism being displayed by your list of scientists doesn't bother me.
I'm just stating what the official documents say. As for the scientific calculations,
our Earth-based scientists had the same questions. Our home-based scientists
questioned the collection methods of the team. But in the end, our home-based
scientists figured out that our applied scientific principals did not always
work on Planet Serpo. Once our scientists minds were open, the calculations
were made to prove the team's data.
2) One of the principal home-based scientists (astronomer) contracted to assist
us was Dr. Carl Edward Sagan. Initially, he was the biggest skeptic of the
group. But as information was slowly analyzed, Dr. Sagan came back to the
middle. I can't say he fully accepted every single piece of data, but he did
agree on the final report.
3) Lively discussions brings out some very interesting questions. Some of
which I cannot find answers to. Although our team spent over a decade (our
time) on Serpo and nearby planets, they did not have a laptop computer to
enter all data. They had two recorders, who were responsible for writing down
the data. Our team acknowledged that a lot of data was lost or not documented.
[Bill Ryan's questions]
4) Regarding Time: The Team Members brought several time pieces, e.g., wrist
watches, non-battery style, as it stated in the debriefing data. The time
pieces worked, but they had no reference to time since the Eben days were
longer, the dusk and dawn periods were longer and they had no calenders to
reference.
They did use the time pieces to calculate movement, for example, timing the
movement of the Eben two suns. They also calculated the time between work
and rest periods. But, after awhile, the team discarded their time pieces
and used the Eben's measurement of time periods. The team became confused
with the calenders they brought – a 10-year calender.
After 24 months, the team lost track of time, as to the
calender since they could not properly calculate days compared to Earth days.
They set up one large clock to the earth time when they left. However, this
was a battery-controlled clock and when the battery died, the clock stopped
and they forgot to change the battery in time. Consequently, they lost the
earth time. The team brought a large quantity of batteries, but they ran out
after about five years. The Ebens had no comparable item like batteries.
5) They also took electric razors, coffee pots, electric
heaters, a DIM (no explanation as to what this was), an electric IBM typewriter,
a scientific calculator, slide rules (both conventional and scientific), Base
Data Collection Recorder (BDCR), three different sized telescopes, tangents,
both conventional and electrical.
The list goes on and on. But they took about everything they were allowed
to take, as to weight. The Ebens did weigh the equipment taken by our team.
The weight limit was 4.5 tons or 9,000 lbs. As for food, the team took C-Rations,
military style. They carefully planned for 10 years.
6) Another question pertained to the team make up. Why were only two females
taken?
If one considers the monumental problem associated with picking a team of
12 people, where each person must be totally erased from the military system
– no family ties, no spouses and no children – one can see the
difficulty that the selection group had. The selection group picked the best
team members from a limited pool of military people.
The original selection group picked 158 people. The final 12 were selected
from that number. If you consider the psychological, medical and other tests
that had to be administered, the final 12 were the best qualified from the
original number. Why they chose two females was never written. Apparently,
those two females were the best qualified in their individual speciality:
a doctor and a linguist.
7) How did the Ebens advance so quickly? Nothing was written about this. But
Earth-based scientists surmised that since the Eben culture consisted of just
one species, their advancement excelled and accelerated more rapidly than
a civilization that consisted of different species, different languages, etc.
8) Why are there only 650,000 in the Eben civilization?
Again, the team never found the answer except that many hundreds of thousands
of Ebens died in The Great War. Earth-based social behavior specialists surmised
that the Eben civilization was structured to accommodate their own needs.
Our team did find limited supplies of commodities on their planet. Large buildings
were used to harvest food products.
The soil wasn't rich in a lot of minerals. Ebens used a form of organic agriculture
to harvest food items. Maybe the Ebens were scared that if they over populated
the planet, they couldn't provide for their citizens. This is only my idea,
and not anything written in the official records.
9) As to the Eben culture: They had a form of musical entertainment. The music
sounded like tonal rhythms. They also listened to a type of chanting. The
Ebens were dancers. They celebrated certain work periods with a ritual dance.
The Ebens would form a circle and dance around, listening to the chanting
type of music. The music was played on bells and drums, or something similar
to them.
There were no televisions, radio stations or anything like that. The Ebens
played a game, something like soccer, but with a larger ball. The object was
to kick the ball down a field into a goal. The game had very strange rules
and played for long periods of time. They also had another game, mostly played
by the children, that consisted of making formations with groups of Ebens.
They seemed to really enjoy the game, but our team found little understanding
of the game.
Athough the Eben civilization had no televisions, radios, etc., each Eben
had a small device belted to their waists. This device gave orders to perform
a particular task, news of pending events, etc. The device displayed a screen,
similar to a television screen but in a 3-D style format. Our team brought
back one of these devices. (I think today, we could compare it to a palm pilot.)
10) The Eben's energy device was analyzed over and over again
by our team. Since our team did not have access to scientific microscopes
or other measuring equipment, we could not understand the function of the
energy device.
But, regardless of the electrical demand, the Eben energy
device provided the proper current and wattage. Out team surmised the device
had some sort of regulator that sensed the required current/wattage and then
supplied that specific amount. (Note: Our Team Members brought back two energy
devices for analysis.)
11) Serpo moved around one sun only. The other sun was within
the two orbits. As I said before, there are hundreds of pages of calculations
in the debriefing explaining all of this.
12) Why some Team Members remained!
The debriefing reported that the Team Members who remained, did so voluntarily.
They fell in love with the culture of the Ebens and the planet. They were
not ordered to return. Communication with the remaining crew members lasted
until about 1988. No other communication was received from those Team Members.
The two – who died on the Planet Serpo – were placed in coffins
and buried. Their bodies were returned to Earth.
13) Each Team Member received a large dose or radiation during their stay
on Serpo. Most of the Team Members died later of radiation-related illnesses.
14) The Ebens fought a battle with an enemy for a period
of time. Our Team Members estimated the war lasted about 100 years, but, again,
that is our time. The war was fought using particle beam weapons, developed
by both civilizations. The Ebens eventually were able to destroy the enemy
planet, killing the remaining enemy forces.
The Ebens did warn us that several other alien races within our galaxy were
hostile. The Ebens stay away from those races. The debriefing document never
stated the name of the enemy, probably because they no longer existed.

You will be honored one day for providing assistance in our release of information.
Many thanks.
I do not feel that a dialogue or argument with non-believers would benefit
our cause. They have the right to critizice our information, but none of them
will ever be involved in the final process.
This was a gigantic problem, to say the least. It took our linguist specialists
several years to adequately establish a form of communication with the Ebens.
A group of Ebens learned to understand English and a few other Earth languages.
This group contained the "Travelers," as our team called them. Our
Team Members connected themselves with the Travelers. Although the Team couldn't
always understand their responses, the Eben travelers understood our Team,
most of the time. During this time period, the only exchange of information
was simple.
The Ebens, not being able to completely explain something to our team, used
a form of sign language by pointing to the object or item they wished to explain
and made hand movements. Our team, two members, eventually grasped that method
of communication. However, our Team didn't receive much information from the
Ebens during this time period.
The Travelers (the very few who understood English numbered about 30) did
not fully understand all words in our language. Later, the Ebens called our
language too complicated and difficult to understand. We eventually determined
the Eben Tonal Language to be very complicated and extremely hard to translate.
We were able to record their language and then play it back, listening to
each Tonal dialect and each tonal bar.
Eventually we crudely translated some of the languge. We started with simple
items, for example, the flying object that they used to travel around their
planet on. Then things like houses, roads, food, clothing, their suns, their
planet, etc. Although we did establish some form of communication, it was
crude and not always helpful for our Team when something complicated happened.
For example, when our first Team Member died in an accident, it was hard to
communicate with the Ebens. The member died instantly, therefore, no medical
care was provided. Our two doctors examined the Member's body and determined
the injuries were consistent with an accidental fall. Initially, the Ebens
never interfered with our care or offered to provide any of their medical
care.
However, once the Ebens – a very benevolent and caring people –
saw our team members crying, the Ebens stepped in and offered to attempt some
sort of medical care. Although our doctors felt the Team Member was medically
dead, they allowed the Ebens to try their own medical care. Most of this was
either through sign language or speaking to the Travelers who could understand
some English.
The Ebens transported the Team Member's body to a remote area of the largest
community. They took the body into a large building, apparently their hospital
or medical center. The Ebens used a large examination table to view the body.
The Ebens ran a large bluish-green light beam over the body. The Ebens watched
a display, that appeared on a large screen that looked like a television screen.
The readouts were in the Eben written language and thus our team could not
understand it.
However, there was a graphic display, similar to a heat beat graph. The solid
line was not wavering. Our doctors understood that meant the same thing that
their equipment measured: the heart was not beating. The Ebens administered
some liquid through a needle. This was done several times. Eventually, the
heart started beating.
But our doctors knew the internal organs of the body were damaged, but couldn't
fully explain that to the Ebens. The Ebens finally made a sign, placing both
their hands to the chest and bowing their heads. Our team members knew that
meant the body was dead and nothing could be done.
The Ebens showed affection to our Team. During the last work period, the Ebens
had a ceremony for the dead Team Member, the same ceremony used when an Eben
died. Our team held their own service, attended by the Ebens. The Ebens were
extremely curious about our religious service. One Team Member, who was acting
as a minister, performed a death service. Our Team was eternally greatful
for the Eben's caring attitude for our dead friend.
The Ebens live in a very simple society. The individual Eben family contained
a male, female and at least one child. Our team did find some families with
as many as four children. We later learned those families were caring for
children of Ebens who were either on Traveling Missions (exploring the universe)
or dead Ebens.
Our Team witnessed an aircraft accident that killed four Ebens. The Ebens
performed a form of ritual at the crash site. The Ebens transported the bodies
to a medical facility and examined the bodies. Our Team Members were always
allowed to accompany the Ebens, except during rest period, when the Ebens
closed their doors for privacy.
Our Team Members saw the sorrow in the eyes of the Ebens during the death
of their own. Later, after the last work period of the day, the Eben's had
a "funeral," at least that is what our Team concluded it was. The
Eben bodies were wrapped in a white cloth. Several types of liquids were poured
over the bodies. Large numbers of Ebens would stand in a circle, chanting.
The sounds became almost nauseating to our Team Members. The ceremony lasted
for a long time. Finally, the bodies were placed in metal containers and buried
in a remote location away from the communities. After the burial, the Ebens
had a feast. Large tables of food were brought out and everyone ate, danced
and played games. This occurred at every Eben death witnessed by our team.
The individual Eben family lived a simple life. Their homes were constructed
of clay, some type of material similar to wood, and some metal. The houses
all looked the same. They appeared to be something from the Southwest, looking
like adobe. The interior of the house consisted of four rooms. One sleeping
room where all Ebens slept in the same room on mats, a food preparation room
(kitchen), a family room (the largest in the house) and a small waste room.
This brought up an interesting point for our Team. The Ebens
did not have a physiological need to release body wastes as we did. The Eben's
had small collection locations in the residence for their body wastes. But
the Eben's body was extremely efficient in processing all food taken in. Their
body wastes consisted of a small amount of fecal matter, similar to a small
cat dropping.
Our Team Members never saw any urine excretion from an Eben. On the other
hand, our Team Member's wastes consisted of bulk quantity of both fecal matter
and urine. The Ebens had to dig large waste reception sites for our 12 Team
Member's waste. The Ebens accommodated our team.
Food, as I mentioned previously, was a problem for our Team Members. Our Team
consummed mostly military-style C-Rations, but eventually had to switch to
Eben food. The Ebens had a variety of food items. They grew vegatables. Our
Team found items similar to potatoes, but they tasted different. They had
some type of lettuce, turnips, and tomatoes. They were the only items similar
to ours. The Eben's had other vegatables grown.
These were strange looking round items with long vines. The Ebens cooked the
vines and ate the large portion of the plant raw. The Ebens had some type
of white liquid, which we first thought was a form of milk. But after tasting
it, our Team realized it was different, both in taste and content. The liquid
came from a small tree located in the northern portion of the planet. The
Eben's literelly milked the tree for the liquid. It appeared to be some sort
of pleasure to drink the stuff.
Our Team Members never got a real "taste" for the liquid. The Ebens
cooked food. They make pots of stew, which was extremely tasteless to our
team. We used a lot of salt and pepper. They also baked a form of bread. It
was non-yeast bread and tasted fairly good, but caused extreme constipation
to our Team Members. We had to drink large quantities of water in order to
digest the bread.
The one common food that Ebens and our Team Members liked was the fruit. The
Ebens ate a great quantity of fruit. The fruit, although different from anything
we saw, was sweet. Some of the fruit tasted something like mellons, while
others tasted like apples.
Another problem was water. The water on Serpo contained a number of unknown
chemicals found by our team. Our Team eventually had to boil the water before
drinking it. Seeing this, the Ebens built a large plant that processed water
for our Team.
In our Team's final report, written by the commander (Colonel), the report
states that during the exchange period (he was careful not to use exact time
periods), the Team was able to communicate with the Ebens about 50% of the
time. There were some things we were never able to communicate.
Our Team brought along softball equipment for sporting activity. The Ebens
would watch the game and laugh out loud. (The Eben laugh sounded like a high
pitched yell.) Eventually, the Ebens started playing the game, but never got
used to catching the ball before it hit the ground.
Our Team also played touch football. Again, the Ebens watched the game intensely
and then played it themselves. But again, like softball, the Ebens never figured
out they had to catch the football before it hit the ground!
Although our Team Members honored the privacy of the Ebens, our Team was allowed
to witness births. Our team, snooping aroud, was able to capture the sexual
activity of the Ebens. The males and females had similar sexual organs and
performed intercourse. The frequency of sexual activity was not recorded as
being as often as our society performed. It was believed that they performed
the act for pleasure and reproduction.

Here are some geological facts regarding Serpo our Team Members compiled:
The
planet's diameter was measured at about 7,218 miles.
The surface gravity was 9.60m/s2.
The rotation periods was approximately 43 hours.
Our Team contained two geologists (they were also cross-trained as biologists).
The first thing our geologists did was map the entire planet. The first step
was to divide the planet in half, thus creating an Equator. Then they established
a Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Within each hemisphere, they
created four quadrants.
Finally, they established the "North and South"
Poles. This was the easiest method to study the planet. Most of the Eben communities
were placed along the Equator. However, there were some communities established
north of the equator in each of the four quadrants in the Northern Hemispheres.
There were no communities located in either poles. The southern pole was desert.
It was barren land with virtually no precipitation where absolutely nothing
grew in this area.
There were volcanic rock formations and part of the extreme south contained
a rock desert. Temperatures in the south pole were measured at between 90°
and 135°F. Going further north from the south pole in Quadrant 1, the
Team found extrusive rocks. This indicated some volcanic activity in the area.
Our team found numerous volcanoes in this area.
The Team found several fissure eruptions in this region, with standing water.
The water was tested and contained high levels of sulfur, zinc, copper and
other unknown chemicals. Moving from east to Quadrant 2, the Team found basically
the same volcanic fields of rocks.
However, in one particular location near the north end of Quadrant 2, the
Team found an Alkali Flat. On Earth, these were formed by streams flowing
into a desert or arid location. Our team found hard mud covered by alkaline
salts. Some vegetation was growing in this area.
Moving to Quadrant 3, the Team found a form of Badlands: An arid region that
is lined with deep gullies with sparse vegetation. The gullies or valleys
were extremely deep, some going down 3,000 feet.
The team found the first Serpo animal in this region. It looked like an armadillo.
This creature was extremely hostile and tried to attack the Team several times.
The Eben guide used some type of sound device (sonic-directed sound beam)
to scare away the creature.
Moving to the Equatorial region, our team found desert-style landscapes which
contained patches of vegetation. The team found numerous pockets of water
fed to the ground by Artesian Wells. This water was the freshest, containing
only the unknown chemicals. It tasted good and the Ebens drank and used it.
Our team still boiled it because during culture tests, unknown types of bacteria
were detected.
Moving to the Northern Hemisphere, the Team found a major change in climate
and landscape. One Team Member, who had coined it Quadrant 1, in the northern
hemisphere, named it "Little Montana." The Team found trees, similar
to the Evergreen style of Earth trees. These trees were milked by the Ebens.
A white fluid was extracted and drank.
Numerous other types of vegetation was found in this region. Standing water,
possibly fed by either Artesian Wells or fissure eruptions was found. In one
area, marsh lands were seen. Large plants were observed growing in the marshy
area. The Ebens used these plants for food. The bulb of the plant was very
large. The bulb tasted something like a mellon.
Our Team eventually moved to an area in Quadrant 1 in the northern hemisphere.
This area contained moderate temperatures [50° - 80°] and ample amounts
of shade. The Eben's built a little community for the team. Most of the remaining
exploration of the planet was done from this point. The Team only explored
the southern hemisphere once, obtaining geological information.
Because of the intense heat, the Team decided not to venture back. The Team
continued to explore the northern hemisphere, where, as the Team traveled
towards the north pole, the temperature cooled considerably. The Team found
mountains, raising to an elevation of 15,000 feet and valleys that sank below
the basic mark the team established for "sea level." Lush green
fields were found containing a form of grass, but contained bulbs. The Team
coined these fields, "Clover Fields," even though the bulbs were
not clover.
The radiation levels were lower in the northern hemisphere than at the Equator
and southern hemisphere. The north pole contained cold weather and the team
saw the first sign of snow. Blankets of snow littered the landscape around
the north pole. The snow measured about 20 feet, at its deepest.
The temperature was a constant 33°. Our Team never found
the temperature to vary in this region. The Ebens could not stand to be in
this region for long. They suffered extreme hypothermia. The Team's guide
wore a suit, similar to a space suit with built in heaters.
Our Team found evidence of past earthquakes. Fault lines were found along
the northern tip of the southern hemisphere. Exfoliation was observed along
with extrusive rocks, which indicated magma flows in the past.
Our Team brought back hundreds of samples of Serpo soil,
vegetation, water and other items for testing on Earth. During our Team's
exploration, they discovered numerous types of animals. The strangest was
the "Beast" which looked like a large Ox. The animal was timid and
never seen to be hostile.
Another animal looked like a Mountain Lion, but had long fur around the neck.
This animal was curious, but was not considered hostile by the Ebens.
During the exploration of Quadrant 4 of the southern hemisphere, the team
found a very long and large creature that appeared to be a snake. This creature
was "deadly," as explained by the Ebens. The head of the creature
was large and contained almost human-like eyes. This was the only time our
Team used their weapons and killed the creature.
The Ebens didn't appear to be upset that the Team killed the creature, but
was upset they used a weapon. The team brought four .45 caliber Colt (standard
military issued) handguns and four M2 carbine rifles. After killing the creature,
the team disected it. The internal organs were strange and nothing similar
to a Earth-style snake. The creature measured 15 feet long and 1.5 feet in
diameter. The team was curious about the eyes.
Examination of the eyes revealed cones, similar to human eyes. The eye contained
an iris and the back contained a large nerve, similar to the optic nerve feeding
into the creature's brain. The brain was large, much larger than any Earth-based
snake. The Team wanted to eat the meat from the creature, but the Eben guides
politely told them "No."

[In response to specific questions]
The
bodies of water on Serpo did not contain fish, as we know. Some bodies, near
the equator, did contain strange-looking creatures, similar to eels (small
and about 8–10" long) and was probably a cousin of the land-based
"Snake." There was something like a jungle, near the marshlands,
but not the jungles that we're familiar with.
Regarding the weapons: There was a lengthy discussion about weapons. At the
end, the Ebens didn't really care. So our Team Members decided to take some
just in case. Not for a fight, God knows, as our Team was vastly outnumbered,
but for the safety aspects of it. Remember, the 12 were all military members,
so weapons made them FEEL safe. A side note: They only took 50 rounds of ammunication
per handgun and 100 rounds of ammunition per rifle.

After reading Dr. Sagan's remarks on the Serpo project, which is about 60
jam-packed pages of calculations, I found one paragraph which states that
in order to use Kepler's law – in the case of Planet Serpo – one
had to vary the exact gravitational pull placed on Serpo by the two suns.
Serpo did not have large planets, like Jupiter and Saturn to affect the gravitational
pull as the Earth does. Serpo's gravitational pull was different than anything
Dr. Sagan had ever seen before.
There are numerous figures and calculations to support this. I will forward
them at a later date. Have your list stay tuned.

In response to the intensive ongoing debate recorded in the Comments section
of this site, I would like to endorse this clarification from a prominent
physicist on the list:
The senior theory (essentially proven) is Newton's inverse square law
for gravity. For a simple system, Kepler's Laws are a fallout of what a planetary
solution looks like (for the simple case of a single planet circling a massive
sun). For a complex situation (like a planet interacting with two suns, several
planets, or whatever) you have to go back to Newton's law and solve a many-body
problem which takes a computer. In this case Kepler's Laws are only an approximation,
since they hold only for the simplest case.

I decided to concentrate this release on the "Team" and their selection
process, communication problems and the final exchange. There have been many
questions pertaining to these issues.
BACKGROUND : Ebe #1 provided a communication device that allowed us to contact
Serpo. This communication device was onboard the Eben craft that crashed in
July 1947 near Corona, New Mexico. Ebe #1 showed us the proper use of this
communication device prior to his death.
However, the device did not function properly and no contact could be made
with Serpo. Just prior to Ebe #1's death, an American scientist from Los Alamos
figured out the device worked and connected an energy source found in the
Eben craft to the communication device. With Ebe#1's assistance and language
input, several signals were sent during the summer of 1952. In early fall
of 1952, we received several signals on the device.
Ebe #1 translated the messages and provided us with that information. Ebe
#1 sent six messages.
— The first message was just letting his planet know he was alive;
— The second message explained the crash in 1947 and the death of his
crew;
— The third message asked for a rescue craft for him;
— The fourth message suggested a formal meeting with leaders of Earth;
— The fifth message suggested an exchange program;
(NOTE: It is believed, but NOT documented, that Ebe #1's U.S. military caretaker
had suggested to Ebe #1 that an exchange program be set up which would allow
our people to visit and exchange culture, scientific information and collect
astronomical during a space trip by an American military team or what eventually
became known as The Team Members.)
— The sixth message provided landing coordinates for any future rescue
or visitation mission to Earth. The incoming messages gave a time and date
(Eben date and time system), and confirmed a landing location. However, once
the message was translated by Ebe #1, it was determined the date was over
10 years away. Fearing that Ebe #1, who was sick at this point, did not translate
the message correctly, our scientists began to translate the message, based
on the Eben language that was taught to us by Ebe #1.
(NOTE: Ebe #1 was a mechanic, not a scientist. He was still able to teach
us some of the Eben language. According to the document which I read, we translated
about 30% of the Eben language. Complex sentences and numbers could not be
recognized.)
Ebe #1 assisted us as long as he was alive. But once he died, then we were
on our own. We sent several messages over a six-month period (1953). But we
did not receive any return messages. We fine tuned our efforts over the next
18 months and finally sent two messages in 1955 and received a reply.
We were able to translate about 30% of the messages. We turned to several
linguist specialists from several U.S. universities and even several from
foreign universities. Finally, we were able to translate most of the messages.
We decided to reply in English and see if the Eben's could translate our language
easier than we could theirs. Approximately four months later, we received
a reply in broken English. Sentences that contained nouns, adjectives, but
no verbs. It took us several months to translate the messages. We then sent
Eben our typed English lessons. Six months later, we received another English
message. This time it was clearer, but not clear enough. Ebens were confusing
several different English words and still failed to complete a proper sentence.
But we were able to provide the basic skill level for them to communicate
in English. In one message, they provided us with a form of the Eben alphabet,
with the equivalent English letter. Our linguist specialist had a very difficult
time figuring this out. The written Eben language was simple characters and
symbols, but our linguist specialist had an extremely difficult time comparing
the two written languages. Over the next five years, we were able to perfect
our understanding of the Eben language (somewhat) and the Ebens were able
to better understand English. However, we had a major problem. Trying to coordinate
a date, time and location for an Eben landing on Earth. Even though we could
basically understand some Eben and the Ebens could understand some English,
we could not understand their time and date system and they could not understand
ours. We sent them our Earth's rotation schedule, revolution, date system,
etc. For some reason, the Eben's never understood this.
In return, the Ebens sent us their system, which was difficult for our scientists
to understand because we had no reference to their planet. The Ebens did not
explain any astronomical data of Serpo or their system. We then decided to
just send pictures showing the Earth, landmarks and a simple numbering system
for time periods.
The Ebens sent back a message indicating they would return to Earth on a particular
number date and location that we chose. The date was April 24, 1964 and the
location was in the southern sector of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
Now, our Government officials met in secret to plan the event. Decisions were
made, then changed and then changed again. We had just about 25 months to
plan for the event. Special teams, mostly military, were formed to plan the
event.
Several months into the planning process, President Kennedy decided to approve
a plan to exchange a special military team. The USAF was tasked as the lead
agency. The USAF officials picked special civilian scientists to assist in
planning and crew selection.
The Team Member selection process was the hardest to accomplish. Several plans
were suggested in the make-up of the team. It took several months for the
planners to decide on criteria for each Team Member. They decided that each
Team Member must be military. They must be single, with no children. They
must be career military (over four years of service). They must have special
skills.
They must have cross-trained skills, meaning that they must have more than
one speciality. They must be entirely "sheep dipped" and cleared
of any identification problems that would haunt them while on the trip. One
suggestion was to list all members as being dead. This was thrown around until
it was decided each Team Member selected would be listed as "missing"
on the official records and discharged on the unofficial records. That way,
all connections between the team and their individual service was covered.
Every single record on each Team Member selected was purged, including their
Social Security records, Internal Revenue tax returns, medical records, military
records, and any other identification records were either destroyed or collected
and placed in a special storage location. Originally, about 56,000 files were
screened for possible selectees. The screening process finally got down to
12. These were the best of the best. During training, which lasted roughly
six months, there were 16 going through training. The four were replacements
just in case one of the originals was injured or released for some other reason.
TEAM TRAINING: Each Team Member selected was sent to a special facility located
at Camp Perry, Virginia. This was an intelligence training location. We took
over a complete complex inside Perry. Most of the training took place there,
but some special training was accomplished at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita
Falls Texas; Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota; Dow AFB, Maine; and isolated locations
in Mexico and Chile. The training lasted for 167 days. The Team was allowed
about 15 days off during this time period, but they were closely guarded.
Just prior to their trip, each team member was transported to the United States
Disciplinary Barracks, Ft. Leavenworth, KS and confined in locked cells. This
prevented them from communicating with anyone from the outside world and kept
each under close watch.
CHANGE OF PLANS: We received a message from the Ebens stating that they did
not wish to make the exchange during their initial visit to Earth. They wanted
to meet first and then plan the exchange in person. This created many problems
since our Team was ready for the exchange. We sent a return message, but we
did not receive a reply.
THE LANDING: In December 1963, the Eben's sent a message confirming the time,
date and location of their landing. The message stated that two crafts were
enroute to Earth and would make the appropriate landing at the pre-arranged
location.
(NOTE: During this time period, our government was suffering from the loss
of President Kennedy. Some on the project wanted to cancel the exchange because
of his death. But President Johnson was briefed and decided to continue the
event, although, it was noted, that Johnson didn't really believe it would
happen.)
Our Team planned for two locations. One "cover" location on Holloman
Air Force Base near Alamogordo, New Mexico and the other, which would be the
actual landing location, was west of Holloman near the southern entrance to
White Sands Army Post.
The first Eben craft entered our atmosphere during the afternoon of April
24, 1964. the Eben craft landed at the wrong location, near Socorro, New Mexico.
Our team was in place at White Sands. We were able to communicate a message
to the Eben craft that they landed at the wrong location. The second Eben
craft picked up the message and landed at the correct location.
MEETING: The Eben craft landed exactly at the location we sent. There were
16 senior U.S. Government officials on the ground. Some were political and
some were senior officials, including military officers. The Ebens exited
their craft and walked under a pre-located canopy. The Ebens gave gifts of
their technology. The Ebens had a crude translator device. It appeared to
be some sort of microphone with a read-out screen.
The senior U.S. official was given one of the devices and the Eben kept the
other one. The officials spoke into the device and the screen showed a printed
form of the voice message, both in Eben and English. It was crude and hard
to understand everything that was said. The exact transcript of the meeting
won't be discussed at this time. The Ebens decided to make the exchange, but
not until the following year. July 1965 was set and the location decided upon
was the Nevada Test Site. Planners did not wish to keep the same location
for fear that something might leak.
The Team Members were kept at Ft. Leavenworth until May 1964. They were transported
to Camp Perry. The Team was isolated for the next six months, going over the
same training they received. Fine tunning their individual skills and learning
some newer skills. This gave the team an opportunity to better understand
the Eben language. Although most team members had difficulty learning the
language, the two linguists on the team were able to hone their language skills.
In April 1965, the team was transported to Ft. Leavenworth and confined until
July 1965, when they were transported to Nevada. During the exchange, only
a selected few officials were present, other than the preparation crew for
the exchange team. The Eben craft landed and our Team was placed on board.
(NOTE: One item that was misstated by me in an earlier e-mail,
was the amount of equipment that was taken to Planet Serpo by our Team Members.
The correct amount loaded on board the Eben crafts was 90,500 lbs of equipment.)

Each Team Member had to endure extreme psychological
and physical training. In one training test, each Team Member was locked
inside a 5' x 7' box buried seven feet underground for five days, with just
food and water, no contact with anyone else and in total darkness. This
tested several factors.
Each Team Member also took a "pill" with them. The pill was standard issue for intelligence agents operating behind enemy lines. The pill could end their life if, for some reason, the Ebens turned out to be hostile.
Several selected Team Members (pilots) were trained on flying an Eben craft, one of which was the one captured near western New Mexico in 1949. The plan called for these selected few to fly the craft back to Earth in case of an emergency.
There
were four pilots on the team. These four spent many weeks at the Nevada complex
learning to fly the recovered Eben alien craft. It wasn't hard to fly, once
one could understand the operation of the controls. I'm sure many of the UFO
sightings back in 1964/'65 around the West could be attributed to these test
flights by our Team Members. Selected Team Members carried small containers
of liquid nitrogen. Ebens were vulnerable to extreme cold. In case
the Eben's turned hostile, the liquid nitrogen could be used to neutralize
Ebens during an escape attempt. The Team Members were instructed to spray
the substance directly into the face of an Eben. Ebe #1 was found to
be vulnerable to this.
As for the liquid nitrogen matter. The liquid nitrogen was placed in special
containers, just like we do today. The debriefing document doesn't state the
type of containers, just that each member had a small container.
However, during the return debriefing, the Team found the Ebens to be so docile, each Team Member quickly discarded these bottles of liquid nitrogen when they arrived on Serpo. The Ebens realized the Team had this substance, but never questioned the reason for bringing it.
As with weapons, each Team Member had a handgun and rifle. The Ebens realized these were weapons, but again never questioned why the Team Members were bringing them along.
But each Team Member never carried the weapons except during their exploration of Serpo and then only certain Team Members carried them.

Here is some "beef" that Gene [Loscowski]
wanted regarding the Team Member's training.
After the extensive selection process, each Team Member had to demonstrate
their abilities to endure hardship, which included a battery of psychological
tests, medical screenings and a PAT (Positive Attitude Tests which is a military
test given to pilots and special forces personnel).
The training consisted of the following:
1. Introduction to Space Exploration (taught by NASA personnel);
2. Astronomy, identification of stars, use of telescopes and general
astrophysics;
3. Eben anthropology (information received from Ebe #1);
4. Eben History (basic information received from Ebe #1);
5. U.S. Army Field Medical Training (trauma care). This was given to
the non-medical personnel on the Team;
6. High Altitude training – parachute and weightless/zero oxygen
environment training;
7. Survival, escape and evasion training;
8. Basic weapons and explosive training (six pounds of C-4 [Composition-4]
was taken);
http://science.howstuffworks.com/c-42.htm
9. Psychological Operations Training and anti-interrogation preparation;
10. Small Unit Tactical Training (Mini 4-week U.S. Army Ranger Course);
11. Intelligence Gathering Course;
12. Space Geology – collection methods and use of specialized geological
equipment;
13. Physical Stress Training;
14. Methods to cope with confinement/isolation;
15. Nurtrition course;
16. Equipment use training;
17. Individual speciality training;
18. Basic Biology;
19. Other training which is still considered extremely highly classified even
after 40 years [1965 - 2005].
Humans could make the Eben tonal sounds, but one had to practice and practice
and practice. It took a long time for anyone studying the Eben language to
make the sounds. Some of the sounds were similar to high pitch singing sounds.
The bottom line is that it could be done.
Now consider this: Even though each Team Member was taught the Eben tonal
sounds/language, it was difficult for the Team Members to remember each tone
and the use of other sounds with the tones. The two linguists on the Team
practiced and learned enough to basically communicate, according to the documents
I read.
The Ebens learned English, but had difficulty pronouncing words exactly correct.
For example, according to the document, Ebens could not say the letter "L."
So, if the Eben's were trying to say the word "look," it came out
"ook."
Between the first message sent by our Earth-based team in the summer of 1952
to the first message received from the Ebens was about four months. We have
no way of knowning when the Ebens received our message, how long it took them
to study it and how long it took them to send it back. The signals were in
Eben language, with a readout and sounds, tonal, etc. One interesting note:
There was one Eben, who was a space traveller and who could speak English
better than the other Ebens who had learned it. This Eben was codenamed "Noah"
by the Team. Everytime the team had to communicate important information,
they turned to Noah. But during the latter part of our Team's stay, Noah left
for an away mission. By then, our two linguists were able to communicate better
than any other Team Member.
QUESTION: Why didn't our Team use the Eben communication device?
ANONYMOUS: They had it, but it contained only about 500 English words. Not
enough to fully communicate. The Team discarded the device early in their
stay.
Who is "Falcon?!" I am reading from the actual debriefing documents.
There is no mention of a "Falcon." There is no mention of a "Falcon"
on the Briefing Control Access Roster. If you're referring to the 1989 TV
special, "UFOs Coverup,... LIVE!" in which a "Falcon"
and a "Condor" appeared in shadowed form, they never had access
to the actual "Project SERPO" Report.
I would guess that whomever Falcon is was spreading DISinformation. Ebens
lived on a warm planet, except the northern hemisphere, which was cooler.
Some Ebens lived in the cooler climate, but the Ebens could not stand extreme
cold.
I think one is confusing what Ebe #1 said about "our" planet. It
liked the cooler places on "our" planet. He was not referring to
Serpo. Ebe #1 was a visitor on our planet and was taken to several different
locations, mostly warm. When he arrived at Los Alamos, he remarked that he
like the "cooler" climate, meaning Los Alamos in the late summer.
However, when he [Ebe #1] was taken to Washington, D.C., (very closely controlled),
the climate there (in late fall) was too cold for him. I don't know about
a "Falcon" or his/her information, but I do know the facts surrounding
Ebe #1.
QUESTION: What do you make of what Ebe #1 allegedly said about Mankind being
genetically altered throughout time and that they established religions and
Christ in particular on our planet? [An idea that was popularized in the
1989 bestseller, "The Gods of Eden" by William Bramley, ISBN# 0380718073]
ANONYMOUS: If one reads the "Yellow Book" [the true and correct
history of Mankind as relayed by the ETEs] and reads between the lines, one
would come away with the thought and clear impression that the Ebens had something
to do with Jesus Christ or, possibly, Jesus was one of them.
Also, if you look at some events that are shown in the "Yellow Book,"
(remember, there are no dates shown in the "Yellow Book"), you can
connect some incidents, such as Fatima, etc., with an Eben landing.

QUESTION: Is the much ballyhooed and hyped "Alien Autopsy Film"
released by Ray Santilli real or fake?
ANONYMOUS: That film is a fake. We did perform four autopsies of the five
dead Ebens found in the Corona crash site and did photograph them, however
the bodies from the western New Mexico crash site were too decomposed to be
autopsied. But the Ray Santilli film is an absolute 100% fake.

[Referring to Bill Ryan's 6 December radio interview
on "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory": an audio file of the interview
is available here]
Victor: Yes, I did listen to the entire show. Never heard this guy George
Noory before, but he seemed to be a very open-minded narrator and for that,
me and my DIA colleagues were very pleased. The show caused a lot of buzzing
in the halls of the DIA!
Bill [Ryan] and Rick [Doty] both did an excellent job. I was hoping you [Victor
Martinez] might just show up and add your own comments since you know more
about me than anyone else as well as the program, but I guess that wasn't
possible.
I called Mr. _____ this morning.
[ EX U.S.G OFFICIAL WHO IS MANAGING THE CONTROLLED RELEASE OF "Project
SERPO" FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION ]
I found some discrepancies about the animals mentioned on the show.
—
The Armadillo-like creature was not aggressive,
it just scared the Team Members. The Eben guide directed some type of sound
(very high pitch) at the Armadillo creature and that scared it away. These
creatures were seen at several locations around the planet. Some were larger
than others, but they were not aggressive.
—
Only the snake-like creature was aggressive,
which forced the Team to kill one. The snake-like creatures were located in
just one location and the Team never saw another one.
—
As for birds, there were two types of flying
creatures. One resembled a hawk and the other looked like a large flying squirrel.
Neither were aggressive and the Team could never catch one for examination.
—
As for insects, they had small bugs, similar
to cockroaches, but smaller. They were harmless, but did get into the Team's
equipment. They had a hardened shell, with a soft interior body. The Team
never observed any flying insects, such as flies, wasps, etc. Several other
small bugs were found and identified.
I was hoping Rick [Doty] would expand his knowledge of the subject matter
as he knows much more than what I heard him say. But maybe the show was scripted
and he had to follow some script or was prevented from saying what he wanted
to say by some director or producer.
[Note from Victor Martinez: The show was not scripted; only time constraints
prevented ex-AFOSI SA Doty from saying more on the air; Anonymous was corrected
by me. All participants were called in at the last moment to fill in for a
last-minute cancellation of another guest.]
Bill did a great job promoting the Web site, Serpo.org and the information
contained therein.
My next posting of information will be the actual journal entries of one Team
Member. Each Team Member was required to keep a journal. I will provide a
partial journal entry (since the journals are attachments to the original
report, they contain hundreds of pages of written entries). I will provide
a few days or possibly a week's worth of entries from one Team Member.
Also, we are working on obtaining four photographs taken by our Team Members
of Serpo. I will scan them into my computer and then e-mail them to you. You
can send them to Bill Ryan for inclusion into the Serpo Web site.
Don't distribute the photographs through your huge UFO thread list. Just leave
it on the Serpo.org Web site for Web site Administrator Bill Ryan to post.
Once the public sees these photographs, even our skeptics, die-hard debunkers
and those who claim that this is all a "non-event disclosure," will
scratch their heads in total amazement! [They're not from a Hollywood movie
set.]
—
one photograph shows
the entire Team standing next to an Eben home, with several Ebens standing
in the background;
—
another photograph shows the Team's new home
in the north;
—
another photograph shows an Eben village in the
north;
—
another photograph shows a group of Ebens
playing their "soccer" game.
You'll love them!
One group member has a fool-proof way of sending them. I'm not sure of the
exact method, but I'll let you know just prior to his sending them. Either
they'll be sent to you (or Bill directly) in encrypted form or a special military
courier will bring them to you from a special unit within the DIA. We'll let
you know.
[BR: We don't yet know when to expect these photographs. It may be several
weeks yet – possibly even in the New Year. We ask all readers to be
patient, as we are ourselves.]
LISTENER: One niggly question on the EBENs' non-use of clocks and the use
of a tower to tell the position of the sun. Much of our avionics, electronics,
and machinery involves timing pulses. How do the EBEs even fly a spaceship
or helicopter-type craft without the use of some sort of clock?
VICTOR: What idiot wrote this?! One must think in different terms of science,
not Earth-based but Serpo-based science. Ebens were thousands and thousands
of years more advanced than us. They had different forms of navigation systems,
which I will discuss in great detail later, probably 2006.
Enough for now; I must go back to bed. Keep up the great work.

REGARDING OUR TEAM MEMBERS
QUESTION: If our Team Members had their identities "sheep dipped,"
how did they refer to one another as?
ANONYMOUS: Each Team Member was not identified by name. Once the final 16
were selected, (remember, we had four alternates), each Team Member got a
number (three digit).
From that point on, they were identified by number only. Even each Team Member
identified the others by their three-digit number. They were neverto use their
real names. Once they left planet Earth and traveled on to Serpo, they gave
each other nicknames.
For example, the Team Commander was identified as, "Skipper," the
medical officers were identified as "Doc-1" and "Doc-2,"
the pilots were identified as, "Sky-King" and "Flash-Gordon."
Even though it wouldn't make any difference if they used their real names
on Serpo, they were disciplined enough to continue either using the nicknames
or the three-digit numbers.
THE TEAM COMMANDER'S JOURNAL ENTRIES:
VICTOR: I hope you didn't lose hope and faith in me; I needed to take a break
during the holidays as I'm sure you did! I have been coordinating this very
complex subject matter with various people in the USG intell community.
Additionally, I and the rest of the DIA-6 are working on the photographs.
Attached for your UFO Thread List are just four pages of the Team Commander's
diary. The diary contains a large number of pages, all hand written. It took
me several days to prepare the attached four pages from the diary.
This is the actual, verbatim diary of the Team Commander. It was started the
morning of the departure. There were code names for control personnel and
three-digit numbers for each Team Member [addressed above]. There are other
codes and abbreviations for certain things, which is not explained.
I've typed the EXACT words, phrases and abbreviations. Nothing has been changed.
And likewise, I will ask you to not alter, change, correct any of the text
here as you often do with mine to make it grammatically correct. This includes
your use of caps to emphasize things I've written; I ask you to not do this
with these journal entries, Victor.
DAY 1
We are ready. Hard to think we finally made it. Team is motivated and calm.
Final briefing by MTC and MTB. Cargo packed in EBE craft. Might have some
problems with guns. Will be talking to the MVC. 899 and 203 will have overall
charge of weapons. No sync system or we don't know about them. Everything
moving smoothly. 700 and 754 will give each member final check before boarding.
OK, we loaded everything and it fits. But we have to transfer all of it to
the bigger ship once we get to rendevous point. Really excited about this.
No reservations by anyone. MTC asked all members to make final decision. The
team all said go. We go. Interior of Ebe craft is big. There are three levels,
this is different than the one we trained on. I think that was a scout craft,
this one is a shuttle craft.
We stored the cargo in lower level. We will sit in the center level and the
crew will sit in the upper level. Strange looking walls. They seem to be dimensional.
There are three stations, four of us will sit in each station. No seats just
benches. We wouldn't fit in those small crew seats.
The MVC says we don't need anything special, no O2 or helmets. Don't know
what to do with them. OK, final checks. MTC gave us final words. One pray
said. We board the Ebe craft. 475 really nervous. 700 will watch him. The
hatch is closed. No windows. We can't see out. Everyone is seated in their
respective seats on the bench. No retention harnesses. OK, well, bar across
us.
The craft is starting engine, or what they call energy thrusters. Seems like
we are moving but nothing happening inside. Still able to write this. Really
dizzy now. 102 sitting next to me and he is faint. Something feels really
funny. Have to rewrite this because I can't think straight.
DAY 1 – ENTRY 2
We made it to the rendevous craft. We don't know where we are, but it seemed
like we all fainted or was really confused during this trip. According to
my wrist watch, it took about six hours. Or maybe more. We left at 1325 and
it is 1939. But not sure of the day. We flew into the big ship. We are standing
in a bay or something.
There are many EBEs helping us. They seem to understand we are confused. The
cargo was off loaded in one big move. The platform containing the cargo was
moved without unloading the individual cargo. This ship looks like the inside
of a real big building. The ceiling is about 100 feet high in this area of
the ship.
OK, we are being moved into another part of the ship. OK, we moved to another
room or area. What a big ship. I just can't describe how big this is. It took
us about 15 minutes to walk to our area. Seems like it is something special
for us. The chairs are bigger. But there are only 10 of them. OK, I guess
203 and myself will sit in different location above these seats.
We are moved by some sort of elevator, but I can't understand how it worked.
Everyone his hungry. We have our backpacks containing some C-rats and I guess
we eat now. But must ask the MVC. I can't find him and we can't communicate
with the two EBEs here.
They seem to be real nice. 420 will try to use his language skills. Almost
funny. Sounds like a screaming match. We just used sign language indicating
we want to eat. One of the EBE brought us a container with something it. Doesn't
look good but I think it is their food. Looks like mush or oatmeal. 899 will
taste it. Well, 899 said it tastes like paper. Think we will all stick to
C-rats.
OK, MVC finally showed up. Told us we will begin trip soon. Two mils I think
he means minutes but don't really know. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to
eat before leaving. We don't feel any weightlessness and we don't feel dizzy.
But we don't know what to expect from this point on. They are indicating we
must sit in the chairs.
DAY 2
I'm not sure just how long we were in the containers. We sat in the chairs
and a clear container was placed over us and the chair. We were isolated in
this bubble or sphere. We could breath OK and could see out, but we really
felt dizzy and confused. I think I fell asleep or fainted. I think this is
another day, but my watch says one hour since we sat, but I think it is the
next day.
Our time instruments are located in our backpacks which are stored in another
area of this room. We are still in these spheres but it seems OK. Well, 899
figured out how to get out because he is standing up. He opened my sphere.
Not sure if we should be out of this thing. 899 said a EBE came in and looked
at us and left. Other team members sleeping. 899 and myself walking around
this room.
I retrieved the time instruments. Seems like we have been traveling about
24 hours or so. No windows to see. Originally we were told it would take about
270 of our days. OK, EBE came in and pointed to the chairs, I guess we need
to go back and get into them.
ENTRY
Since I am not sure of which day it is I won't state a day as to my entry,
[so] I'll just say entry. We are all sick. Dizzy, upset stomachs. 700 and
754 gave us medicine to settle our stomachs. But we really feel bad. We seem
to be unable to focus our eyes and seem to not know which way way to turn
up or down and don't know the wasy to sit down. Really bad feeling.
Medicine helps a little we are able to eat a little. 700 and 754 tells us
to eat and drink the water we brought along we are doing that and feel a little
better can't concentrate on anything so I can't rite [sic] anymore right now.
ENTRY
Feel a lot better. EBEs came in and did something to the room. It all seems
clearer and we are not so confused and dizzy. We ate again and drink more
water. Feeling a lot better. We are out of sphere, but must stay in them at
certain times.
EBE showed us a series of lights above the entry panel. Green, Red and White
lights. If the light is red, we must sit in sphere. If light is white, we
are OK. EBE never explained the Green light. Maybe that isn't good.
We have no idea what day it is, only that it is 2319. Our date recorder isn't
working very well, according to 633. He thinks we have been going for 10 days
but not really sure. We have been confined to this room for the entire time.
I think this room was made for us and we are safe in this room.
Maybe it wouldn't be wise to leave it. No weightlessness. Don't know how they
do it. But we do feel a little lightheaded when we walk. Seems room is pressurized.
Ears are popping a lot. If we have to sit in this room for 270 days we will
really be bored. We can't really do much, all our equipment is packed away.
We have our backpacks but they only contain a few items. We want to clean
up, but can't find a bathroom except the containers we are using to relieve
ourselves. They are small metal containers that are emptied by the EBE every
now and then. EBE brings us food, their food. We tried it and it tastes like
paper really no taste but maybe it is something special for space travel.
700 is eating it. He seems OK but it is upsetting his bowels. Their water
is milky looking but tastes like apples. Strange. ENTRY It has been a long
time since I have made an entry. We are guessing we have been on the ship
for 25 days. But we might be off about five days. We were locked into our
sphere for a long period of time. We had to leave in order to relieve ourselves
and finally were able to open the sphere.
But when we did, we all got sick, really sick. Dizzy, confused and some couldn't
walk. We had trouble urinating and moving our bowels. 700 and 754, who ate
the EBE food didn't seem to be as sick as us. They treated us with medicine.
EBE came in and pointed a blueish light on our heads. We felt better, much
better after this.
But pointed to the chairs and we figure we must get back into them. We showed
him our waste containers and pointed to the chairs in a confused manner. He
understood and then left the room. EBE came back with small containers we
could place inside the sphere.
He also brought in small jugs of the milky liquid and made a motion for us
to drink it. So we went back into the sphere and just sat there with the waste
containers and the jug of the milky stuff. We drink that and seem to be better,
except 518, who seem to be sick. But we were cautioned to stay inside the
sphere.
ENTRY I don't have any idea how long we stayed in that sphere this time. But
EBE came in and made a motion for us to come out. We were able to move around
without being dizzy or sick. EBE even allowed us to leave the room. We walked
along a very narrow hallway for a long period of time, maybe 20 minutes. We
then got into some sort of elevator, which moved fast because we could feel
the motion.
We came out into a very large room that contained many EBENS sitting in seats.
Maybe this is the control center. Our escort made a motion to go into the
room. We could see control panels which contained many lights. There were
four different stations containing six EBENs each. They were in levels.
The top level inside this room contained just one seat. One EBEN was seated
in that chair. We figure he must be the pilot or commander. He seemed busy
with an instrument panel. There were many television screens, but they all
showed EBEN language and series of lines, both vertical and horizontal. Maybe
some sort of graph.
We were able to wander around without any EBEN bothering us. 633 and 661 were
really interested in this. 633 seemed better. There was one window. But we
could see anything. It was dark but we could make out wavy lines. Maybe some
sort of distortion in time. We must be moving faster that light speed, but
we can't see anything out the window.
OK, MVC finally arrived. He explains in broken english, that we are halfway
to home planet. Everything is functioning properly and we all will feel better
once the craft gets out of this time wave, as he calls it. MVC says we can
walk around any part of the ship, but we must stay together.
We
must be shown how to operate the movement centers. We are thinking he is referring
to the elevators. It seems simple, just placing your hand over one of the
operating lights. White and red. White moves it and red stops it. We hear
some type of ringing sound, but MVC says it is only space sounds. Whatever
he means by that. We were able to walk around the ship, but it is so large
it is difficult to understand how such a large ship can move so fast.
633 wants to see the engines. MVC takes four of us to the engine room or whatever
they wish to call the room. It contains large, very large metal containers.
They are in a circle, with the ends of each pointing into the center. Many
pipes or some type of large tubes connects them.
In the center of these containers is a copper colored coil or something looking
like a coil. There is a bright light being shined from a point above into
the center of the coil. We hear a very dull hum, but no major loud sounds.
661 thinks it is a negative matter versus positive matter system.
[ END JOURNAL ENTRIES FROM TEAM COMMANDER ]
QUESTION: Please explain, for the enlightenment of all, the Eben Energy Device
(ED) found at the crash site.
ANONYMOUS: OK, I will answer this question. Dimensions: 9" x 11"
x 1.5", weight 26.7 oz. The ED [Energy Device] is clear and made of something
similar to hard plastic.
On the bottom left, there is a small square metal plate, possibly a chip.
It is one of the connector points.
On the bottom right, there is another small square metal point, which is the
second connector point.
Viewed from an electron microscope, the ED contains small circular-shaped
bubbles. Within these bubbles are extremely minute small particles. When a
demand for electric power is applied to the ED, the particles always move
clockwise at a great speed, not measurable. There is also some type of unidentified
fluid located around the bubbles. When a demand is placed on the ED, this
fluid turns from a clear color to a hazy pink color. The fluid becomes warm
between 102° - 115° F.
However, the little bubbles would not heat up, ONLY the fluid. The bubbles
maintained a constant temperature of 72° F. The boundary of the ED contains
small (micron sized) wires. When a demand is placed on the ED, the wires expand
in size. This expanding process depended on the amount of demand placed on
the ED. We did extensive, exhaustive experimentation with the ED. We could
power everything from a 0.5 watt bulb to an entire house.
The ED automatically detects the required demand and then outputs that exact
amount. It worked on everything electrical except equipment that contained
a magnetic field. Somehow, our magnetic field interferes with the output demand
of the ED. However, we have developed a shielding process to correct this.
I won't go into all the scientific nomenclature at this time [due to national
security implications]. This is just the basic information on the ED, which
is what a reader wanted to know.
Interestingly, when our recovery team first found the ED, they thought it
was a window because of its clear plastic-like qualities. Ebe #1 had to show
us how it worked. It still took us many years to fully understand the ED's
operational qualities. I'm sure we fully understand everything about it today,
BUT that isn't written in the final [Serpo] report.
REGARDING EBENS #1 - #5:
Ebe #1 was the crash survivor from the craft found in Corona, NM in July,
1947.
Ebe #2 was the first exchange of an Eben scientist and was the second visitor
left on Earth. I don't know the exact time period of his stay.
Ebe #3 was a female scientist.
J-ROD was a cloned Eben, created by the Ebens, who came as another type of
visitor. J-ROD is a very complicated matter and the entire story will never
be made public. The exact type of entity J-ROD was shall remain classified
as "Above Top Secret."
Let your exclusive UFO Thread List membership know that this subject matter
is closed and no future questions regarding this topic will be addressed.
Why s/he or it was named J-ROD is classified. People have speculated about
that, and officially it means something, but that information shall remain
shielded from the public domain.
President Bill Clinton wanted to continue the exchange program, but others
in his administration thought it would be a mistake and overruled him. It
was terminated in 1994 with Ebe #5.
QUESTION: UFO author Whitley Strieber claims to have been contacted by a man
claiming that he was part of a human-alien exchange program in the '60s. Was
Whitley "played" or did he actually meet one of the Team Members?
ANONYMOUS: The guy who approached Whitley Strieber in 1989-90, was a Team
Member. We know him and knew the contact he made with Strieber, not once,
not twice, but three times.
All surviving Team Members were carefully monitored and watched by a special
branch of the DIA. The last surviving Team Member died in 2002 in the State
of Florida.

[FACTOID – Victor Martinez:
The final segment of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND which I viewed does
have 12 people, 10 men and two women. Twelve people are also the number given
in Spielberg's book version.
However, I got around to reading the end of Spielberg's paperback version
of CE3. It reads the same as the movie except for two interesting things.
The 12 Team Members are introduced as ALL MEN.
An additional dialogue not in the movie also takes place. They have a sit
down with Roy Neary and have him sign a number of documents. While he signs
the last one he is told the following:
"We have a possible problem in the area of canon and common jurisprudence
outside of the parameters of our astronomy. The case could be made that you
are, in effect, technically speaking... dead."
Is this a fancy way of saying that if anybody comes snooping around about
what happened to Roy, they now have the legal right to tell them he is dead?
Does that sound familiar?
"Spielberg tells me about the film. It's about UFOs, he says, but it
is not science fiction. He calls it 'science fact.'"
COMMENT: Makes you wonder how Spielberg got the numbers and gender count right.
It is reported that after President Ronald Reagan watched a special screening
of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," he privately spoke to Steven
Spielberg and said, "You don't know how true this really is." (The
actual quote by President Reagan ) ]
