This Clinton Library FOIA release (case 2006-0476-F) comes from the White House email records file labeled "WHO (Roswell)" and covers December 1996 to September 1997. It includes withdrawal sheets and public emails sent to the President. One email is Nicholas Greene's December 1996 essay arguing that extraterrestrials exist, which cites Roswell, astronaut sightings and Michigan reports. Other emails forward a transcript of a Milton William Cooper speech and a Claude DiDomenica essay about Roswell and Corso.

the crash of a ship not of Earthly orlgln. As this and more information
becomes more publicly recognized it becomes hard to dispute'the possibility
that weare not alone in the universe. The inconsistencies are too great in
the reports of the military and government not to.ask what is being concealed.
While Roswell is well known from such films as Roswell, Independence Day
(ID4), and shows ,such as X-Files and Dark skies, there are many other
extra-terrestrial encounters just as intriguing. One such set of cases
deals with UFO sightings by Astronauts. Some of the United State's most
famous astronauts have seen unexplainable objects during spaceflights. '
Major Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury Astronauts, and the last
American to fly in space alone, reported a glpwing, greenish object quickly
approaching the capsule. This object was soon picked up by Muchea tracking
station's tracking radar. According' to a taped interview 'by J. L. Ferrando,
Major Cooper said:
"For many years I have lived with a secret. In a secrecy imposed on all
specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA,
our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition ,unknown to us.
And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to
prove this, but nobody wants to make them public."
This type of firsthand knowledge is convincing 'enough, but when accompanied
by the following testimonies of Neil Armstrong and'Buzz Aldrin how can it be
disputed?
According to NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong aliens had,a base on the Moon
and told us stay away from and off of the Moon. Unconfirmed reports suggest
that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after landing on the
Moon in Apollo 11 on July 21, 1969. 'One such reports refers to a light seen
in one of the Moon's craters during television transmissions.' One former
NASA employee Otto Binder, and many unnamed radio ham operators picked up
the following exchange:
NASA Whats there?
Mission Control Calling Apollo 11
Apolloll : These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous!
OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it!
I'm telling you ,there are other spacecraft out there,
Lined up on the far side of the crater edge!
They're. on the Moon watching 'us!
An unnamed professor, engaged in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a
NASA symposium relates a conversation in which Armstrong states that he did
in fact have, an extra-terrestrial encounter while on the Moon.
Interestingly enough this correlates with the fact that after the originally
scheduled fl to the Moon, the US has not ventured back. ,NASA'S Scott
Carpenter claims "At no time, when the. astronauts were in space were they
alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs (UFO sightings)."
While the Roswell Incident and the phenomenon experienced by astronauts
, are convincing the numerous accounts of everyday citizens add a more
personal note to these unexplained experiences. One such example is .from
Michigan Unsolved Mysteries. In this report from 1993, several sightings
are reported. The first is a report of a woman returning home about 9:00
P.M. who reported a triangular shaped object following her car as she
traveled. Another report 'describes an orange colored light which when it
approached a house caused tremors. The local Air force along with the FAA,
when asked about these reports, found no explanation for the sightings. The
reports contained in this Unsol;ed Mysteries bulletin caught the attention
of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. 'The investigator for Tuscola County,
Michigan is Robert Snow. He interviewed many of the witnesses reported in
this document (Michigan). These are just two sightings out of many
thousands reported.
"Why is this so hard to believe? When the accepted discovery of life off
this planet was on the front page of every paper around the world. When even
the most conservative scientists and science journals are calling for the
exploration of Mars and Jupiter,with every reason to believe that life and
the persistence of it is thriving outside our own terrestrial sphere (Agent
Mulder, The X-Files)" why then are we so reluctant to accept the possibility
that extra-terrestrial intelligence exists?
