EXCLUSIVE: PRIVATE TALK WITH LT. COLONEL JOHN 0 1MARA, DEPUTY
COMMANDER, INTELLIGENCE,CONFIRMS THE EXISTENCE OF "FLYING
SAUCERS" -- TRUTH MAY BE BARED SOON AS 11 TECHNICAL DATA" REACHES
THE AIR FORCE. AIR FORCE PLANS COOPERATION WITH PUBLIC.
The greatest story involving Earth and Sp ace may soon be told. The "silence"
group -- that official fear-faction of the Air force -- who for years fought to
keep the truth from the public has now lost its anaconda-hold on accumulative
evidence. Stimulated by recent events, the triumphant fearless-faction of the
Air Force will take the benighted public in-1:o confidence. As Col. 0 1Mara btti
mated: we want to cooperate and dispense with the misconception that "flying
saucers" do not exist. Here is the essence of Col. 0 1Mara' s statements, 9/21/54:
Flying saucers "do exist" the Colonel told me, and he added, in effect, past con
tradictions were unfortunate. At this point I asked the Colonel if there were two
breakdowns of saucers ... the interplanetary device and the secret American mis
sile. I was first corrected on the term "missile", then the Colonel said he believed
there were "three breakdowns" -- the third, "natural phenomena. 11 By such an
admission, we therefore have these three breakdowns ... l) the controlled •·saucer"
from outer space... 2) a secret American saucer-like device and 3) unexplained
natural phenomena.
When I tried for a committal statement on the interplanetary "saucer" I was, as
expected.rebuffed, but was told that in their research they were "gradually getting
more data. 11 Then for corroboration, I asked if all the saucers seen by Americans
were American devices and to this the Colonel replied: 11 Definitely not! Something
does exist, " he said, which, of course, is diametric to all A. F. statements follow
ing Major Keyhoe's book. In this respect, the Colonel intimated that the A. F. plans
to cooperate with the public ... and a statement will be forthcoming from the De
fense Dept. which will explain some of the past contradictions and release the de
tails behind many of the sightings. When I asked, again, about the 700 sightings a
week, he told me that this would be covered in the A. F. release.
Col. O'Mara and I discussed many sensative issues. Although he spoke guardedly,
the Colonel was wonderfully cooperative, and I could well ap:,:reciate his position
in relation to official security. When, for instance, I asked about the Earth Satel
lites, and the theory indicating they were "rocks " ( see page 3) he replied that he
has not received word they were "rocks. 1 1 He said the scientist in White Sands
"are still working very hard and have lots of things to work on. 1 1 When . I asked
about the silent Mars Committee he explained that the astronomers have not issued
a report because 11they are in disagreement" as to what they found.
In my 26 minute talk with the Colonel we also discussed saucer hostility, mysteri.:
ous plane crashes, the Atlantic problem, and, whether or not the CRIFO News
letter was slanted in the right direction. Re: the latter, the Colonel said, in effect,
that it ( the Newsletter) was in the right direction ...
Editor's Note: Our Newsletter, due to abov~ information, was revamped the last
minute. What was the first page is now the second,, et al.
