UFO Hypothesis and Survival Questions

National Security Agency · 7 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This draft monograph from the National Security Agency, classified SECRET and undated, looks at what the main hypotheses about UFOs would mean for human survival. It argues that UFOs are unlikely to be all hoaxes or all hallucinations. It warns that natural phenomena could trigger false missile attack reports and that secret earth projects or extraterrestrial intelligence could pose threats. It urges an urgent survival-minded investigation rather than a leisurely scientific approach.

SOME UFO'S ARE RELATED TO EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE: According to some eminent scientists closely associated with the study of this phenomenon, this Hypothesis cannot be disregarded . 12 ( The web documented sightings on Wash. DC. in 1952 shown by support figures ) . 13 this hypothesis has a number of far-reaching human survival implications:

a. If "they" discover you, it is an old but hardly invalid rule of thumb, "they" are your technological superiors. Human history has shown us time and again the tragic results of a confrontation between a technologically superior civilization and a technologically inferior people. The "inferior" is usually subject to physical conquest.

b. Often in the past, a technologically superior people are also possessors of a more virile or aggressive culture. In a confrontation between two peoples of significantly different cultural levels, those having the inferior or less virile culture, most often suffer a tragic loss of identity and are usually absorbed by the other people.

c. Some peoples who were technologically and/or culturally inferior to other nations have survived - have maintained their identity - have equalized the differences between them and their adversaries. The Japanese people have given us an excellent example of the methods required to achieve such a survival:

(1) full and honest acceptance of the nature of the inferiorities separating you from the advantages of the other peoples,

(2) complete national solidarity in all positions taken in dealing with the other culture,

(3) highly controlled and limited intercourse with the other side - doing only those actions advantageous to the foreigner which you are absolutely forced to do by circumstances,

(4) a correct but friendly attitude toward the other people,
