This is a technical report by Thomas E. Bearden, a research scientist with an MS in nuclear engineering, dated January 3, 1977. Bearden submitted it to the Defense Documentation Center under a cover letter and it is approved for public release. The report divides the evolution of life into seven stages and argues that humanity must avoid self-destruction by technologically linking all human brains into a single superbeing. It claims UFO phenomena are consistent with a sixth-stage superbeing preparing humanity for that linkage.
.., One thing, however, is clear: From our viewpoint, the final crisis is here. For Mar., it is now or never. Of course, nature is patient --another billion years or two is all right because in the end time itself is a part of her creation, and is of little or nc' consequence to her. But for man, a single technological species on a secondary planet of a medium-sized star in the remote rim of the galaxy, time has almost run out. Man is merely one more of nature's experiments, a species which happened to opt for a little more genetic deprogramming of behavior, and now is his moment of truth. If he can successfully link before he destroys himself and his biosphere, then the ultimate solution is his; if not, then nature merely scraps this biosphere called Earth and begins again somewhere else. Which will it be for mankind, the "lady" or the "tiger?" The next three or thirty years will most assuredly tell • REFERENCES 1.
