course." (Slachter) adds that it may be possible that extraterrestrials did in fact land and that the Americans kept all the secrets for themselves, but he says there could be a second part to the story: "The extraterrestrials came here, but the Americans took advantage of this to stage a great disinformation campaign on a global level. Based on that reality, they could have implemented a giant disinformation campaign to conduct experiments in the world, always saying: these are not our systems, they come from outer space, they are extraterrestrials. That could be a possibility." Osvaldo Rodriguez adds: "I want to point out that, last year, there was a great commotion after a peasant in southern Matanzas Province claimed he saw a flying saucer land in an area near him. He claims to have seen two human-looking beings. It was a story carried by our television and our media. We have also been visited by strange objects; however, we may wonder: could this not be part of the US aggression against Cuba? Could they be testing our defense systems? Christian was telling me that people who have seen these objects claim they hear no sound. We know the United States has planes that are not detected by radar. Could this not be part of the war against us?" Almedia goes on to explain that 50 years have passed since the UFO incident in New Mexico. He says a CD-ROM is now available with over 1,700 declassified documents of the US Government on the subject. It is not that the United States is being nice and wants the world to be informed about it, but it is because there is a series of civilian institutions that are exerting pressure for this information to be made available. Almeida adds that inexplicable technological advances are taking place. "These advances can only be explained by a technological transfer, of which the Americans are taking advantage to maintain their policy of world domination." Almeida says the UFO topic is being manipulated because of the way it has been handled by the US Government. "It is information blockade, which prevents the information from being made available to other countries. The United States maintains a direct blockade against Cuba, but is also maintaining a blockade on the rest of the world, which does not permit us to draw our own conclusions on the matter. They want to impose their reasons and their truth," Almeida concludes. THIS REPORT MAY CONTAIN COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL.
