Grant Cameron - Managing Magic: The Government’s UFO Disclosure Plan

Words mean a lot in the UFO community. This attitude of using the correct terminology is stressed a lot in the community, and it is safe to say there is a bit of an anal attitude surrounding this, and many people are adamant about using the right terminology when discussing UFOs.

That, however, does not mean that there is any agreement on which terms to use. There isn't. There is a constant chatter by opposing sides that the opposing side is using the wrong words.

This is especially true in 2017 as the latest gradual disclosure unfolds. I predict that there will be a battle of words and definitions that will rival the divisiveness of the 2016 American election.

The biggest fight seems to be over the term UFO (unidentified flying object) itself. It was a term developed by the USAF in 1952, in an attempt to stop the public from using the more commonly used terms flying saucers and flying discs. Those two words, it was felt, implied the objects were of an extraterrestrial origin, and in a situation requiring secrecy and deception, such use was unacceptable.

The term UFO implies something unknown and unidentifiable, and that is exactly the way the Air Force wanted it. Press people confronting the Air Force with UFO sightings could now believe the phenomena was unknown and unidentified, but not extraterrestrial.

The Air Force likes the term, but many in the UFO community hate it. They think that the term is one of derision, and that science and the media will never take us seriously as long as we continue to employ it.

Now, researchers use new terms such as UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena). In this way, people fool themselves into believing that by using the term UAP scientists' study of the phenomena commands more respect. On the other side of the coin, you find researchers who hate the term UFO and prefer the term extraterrestrial. They claim there is nothing "unidentified" about it at all.

In this book, I will use the word UFO. I use it not to imply what the phenomenon is or isn't. I simply use it because when you use the word UFO, there is no question by the man on the street as to what you mean. One hundred years from now when we know what the origin of the phenomena is, and people accept it, it will be time to change the term. In 2017 it remains a UFO in the public's mind.

This position is even backed up by the top military advisor in touch with rock musician Tom DeLonge, whose story appears in the last section of this book. One of the key things this military official pointed out to DeLonge in four pages of notes on how to talk with the public about the subject was "stop calling it the phenomena. Call it UFOs, so people will know what you are talking about."

The second term that causes political turmoil in the UFO community is the term alien. It is hated almost as much as UFO. Everyone in the community has some sort slant to what they think the intelligence is and they insist that everyone reflect their personal take on it.

Many insist on the term ET or extraterrestrial. Some in the love and light crowd insist on using the words "benevolent visitors" or some such variations.

The other terms people argue about are abduction versus visitation. Abduction implies something being done against your will, whereas visitation involves a more respectful encounter.

I have my personal take on what the intelligence is, but I will not push it in this book. I will use the word alien, because on the street when you say "aliens are flying around in a UFO" everyone knows what you are saying.

The most significant term now seems to be disclosure. Most everyone in the UFO community envisions disclosure as the president having a special news conference to announce we are not alone in the universe, and that there is nothing to fear. Others envision an alternate scenario where perhaps a UFO crashes in New York and the public captures the images on their iPhones and thus the secret can no longer be kept, or else aliens land on the White House lawn to announce they come in peace or are taking over the country. That I would define as full disclosure, where the milk is spilled, and cannot be put back in the glass.

Disclosure by definition simply means to reveal, or to disclose something that is secret.

This book will discuss disclosure and how politicians have attempted to address it. For example, when Hillary Clinton said, "They may already be here," or when her husband Bill said, "If we were visited someday, I wouldn't be surprised," that is a type of disclosure.

Those comments can be considered as disclosure because the Clintons are the first high level politicians to hint that aliens can come here or that they may already be here, as opposed to saying "I believe there is life out there but we will never see it."

In this sense, every leak by the government, every movie in Hollywood that has an alien theme, and every UFO joke by the president is a type of disclosure. Disclosure is happening all the time. The things revealed may be small and inconspicuous, but I believe they are part of a plan that was discussed in a think tank years ago and is in the best interests of the people.

Finally, I have used the word paranormal to describe what the UFO phenomenon is because the word paranormal just means beyond what we consider to be normal. Anything beyond the little box of what we believe is real will by definition be unknown and appear as mysterious, and even magical until we know how it works.

Some may disagree with my approach to these terms. I understand their concerns and where they stand on the issue.
