ANONYMOUS AND PROJECT CRYSTAL KNIGHT

First let me introduce myself. My name is... Anonymous. I am a retired employee of the U.S. government. I wont go into any great details about my past, but I was involved in a special program.

With those words, sent in an e-mail to Victor Martinez, the host and moderator of perhaps the largest and most prestigious space-related e-mail network on the Internet, known as the UFO Thread List, a totally new era of government transparency commenced. It was sent to Martinez on November 2, 2005, followed by incredible facts about what the government knows about alien visitations. Anonymous then sent in eighteen more e-mails to the network, each more sensational than the last. That first batch continued through August 21, 2006. He then sent in fourteen more e-mails between June 4, 2007, and April 13, 2011, revealing heretofore top-secret information that had previously been classified as Top Secret Codeword, the highest secrecy classification in the government.

The e-mail postings by Anonymous mainly concerned the events following the Roswell crash (see chapter 3) that led to an interstellar exchange program in which we sent twelve U.S. military personnel to a distant planet on an alien spaceship in 1965. This program was directed and monitored by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The DIA called the program Project Crystal Knight, and Anonymous, then much younger, was allegedly one of the agency officials assigned to the project. It is now popularly known as Project Serpo.

CREDIBILITY, THE LIST, AND WWW.SERPO.ORG

That first e-mail to the network immediately elicited comments by longtime network members. Gene Loscowski (real name: Gene Lakes) said, Who is this person? Most of the information is absolutely correct. Paul McGovern said, Interesting, but not totally correct. List member Anonymous II said, As for the Roswell incident: This was the story I read in the historical document called the Red Book. Almost exactly to the word. Although there were more details about the crash sites and what was recovered.

These remarks from individuals who apparently knew at least some of the details of the secret program, should be considered definitive confirmation that Project Crystal Knight was a real event and that the story that Anonymous revealed was substantially correct. It should be noted that virtually all the people on the list were considered insiders in one way or another and not just a collection of people with an interest in UFO activities, whether they be investigators or even abductees. These individuals were largely government connected and many had been exposed to classified information. That is precisely why Anonymous chose to make these momentous revelations to this group. Bill Ryan, who later published the website for the list, explained it this way:

The list at that time contained about a hundred and fifty people, including many extremely well-known names in UFO research and related or leading-edge scientific fields.... Those on the list have differing views regarding the veracity of Anonymouss claims. However, the pedigree of the list as a whole is important to emphasize. There has been a substantial amount of intelligent discussion about the revelations, and it is important to state that there are many senior people in the U.S. intelligence and military community who are taking this information very seriously.

Any skepticism about the Serpo revelations by Anonymous among list members largely evaporated as he sent in more and more details about the program to the list network. It soon became very clear that this amount of detail, some of which they could personally attest to, or had already heard about, could not have been invented. Consequently, on December 21, 2005, network members decided to launch a website dedicated to the revelations of Anonymous. To that end, a longtime, well-respected British member of the network named Bill Ryan volunteered to create and moderate the website, named www.serpo.org. That website ultimately became fleshed out with additional material from other anonymous contributors and from postings by Martinez, who added supplementary explanations relating to the information revealed by Anonymous and other insiders. The result was an amazing compendium of government knowledge about our relations with aliens from across the galaxy.

THE RED BOOK

Any lingering doubts about the credentials of Anonymous and his role in Project Serpo were completely erased by a post that he sent in to the website on June 16, 2006. In that e-mail he identified himself as the editor of the Red Book. Since he spoke in the present tense, we must conclude that he still acted in that capacity in 2006. This mysterious book is well-known to highly placed government officials involved with secret UFO investigation and contact with extraterrestrials. Anonymous describes the Red Book:

Serpo website developer Bill Ryan

The Red Book is an extremely thick, very detailed account summary, written and compiled by the U.S. government on UFO investigations dating from 1947 to the present day. This orange-brownish book is updated every five years.

Then, on August 9, 2007, Anonymous sent the following message, elaborating on the use of the Red Book and revealing his role in producing and editing the entries in the book:

... claims about the Red Book being updated continuously or when needed are somewhat true, but need to be placed in proper context.

What actually occurs is that as UFO reports come in [and are] deemed credible by the reporting government agencybe it military or civilianthey are routed to a special section of our government for a follow-up analysis. After that vetting process, they are then sent to a special group which then places [them] into final review for POSSIBLE inclusion into the Red Book.

... I know all of this because... I have served as the editor for several editions of the Red Book and have written and delivered the Executive Summary for several sitting U.S. presidents, so I KNOW of what I speak. And when I say editor, it is NOT in the sense of the word you are familiar with. I do not correct nor review any of the hundredsif not thousandsof reports which are distilled into the final five-year report for grammar and punctuation as youve done with the Project Serpo material.

I only present and include the most important, compelling cases [in] the RED BOOK, which includes an analysis by me and others of any trends, types of sightings, human contacts with the ETEs [extraterrestrial entities] and any national security concerns our government or planet might have. My part is to write the Executive Summary and present it to the current sitting president of the United States. If there was a national security matter that presented itself, that five-year published review of the RED BOOK would be interrupted, but that has been unnecessary as we have a good relationship with our visitors [aliens].
