Foreword

I first met Sgt. Clifford Stone in May 2001. He and I, along with eighteen other witnesses, testified about the UFO phenomenon to the national and international press at the first Disclosure conference in Washington DC. What I recall about our first meeting was his shyness, seriousness and his emotional response to his own story. The most vivid memory I have of Sgt. Stone during that time is when he told me about his experience as a member of a UFO recovery team while in the Army. He told me he had held a sick or injured EBE (Extra-Terrestrial Biological Entity) in his arms. The being was clearly suffering and Sgt. Stone deeply felt its pain and was so touched by the experience that that he could not help but weep in sympathy because of its condition. He had felt a very close connection with that being. And while he was telling me this story, Sgt. Stone was also weeping. He was clearly re-living that moment.

Sgt. Stones story was just one of many I heard during the 2001 Disclosure conference.

For myself and, I think, most of the others we were all in awe of the each others stories. By that time I had heard many UFO stories from the countless number of people I had contacted during my own research. I was inclined to listen to UFO stories with a healthy dose of skepticism. I suppose we all have some criteria somewhere in the recesses of our minds as to how we judge when people are telling us the truth. Although many of us want to think of the truth as sacrosanct and absolute, in fact, the truth, that concept we humans seem to have manufactured as a way of understanding reality can be indistinct. It can be like a cloud; an evolving shape of some reality. When discussing this phenomena, what I believe to be true as a result of what I perceive as evidence or connecting the facts of that evidence, may not convince others. What was difficult for all of us, even those of us who have had experiences in this field, is dealing with the phenomenal aspect of each of these stories. Just the description of the capabilities of these craft was astounding and defied our sensibilities. We simply didnt have a good foundation in understanding the phenomena because the explanations were and still are not complete. And, of course, there is still no wide acceptance by our scientific community or by the public. However, after spending many hours with Sgt. Stone in 2001, I left convinced he was telling a true story.

Today, I no longer listen to stories about the UFO phenomenon with skepticism. I simply try to apply my judgment and my knowledge on the subjected on the evidence presented to me. After seventeen years of public speaking about by own incident and hearing countless stories about the phenomenon, I have long since accepted its reality and drawn my own conclusions about that reality. Although many of the details of it are not known for certain, the two basic facts: intelligently controlled objects of non-terrestrial origin are flying in earths airspace and the existence of EBEs interacting with humanity is beyond dispute.

In July 2011 during the Roswell UFO Festival, I again spent many hours with Sgt. Stone. This time he again told me about seeing an EBE up close and could not continue because of his emotional response to his own memories. Again, he was re-living those moments in his past. Anyone who has had a traumatic experience understands they cannot avoid their own emotional response when recalling their experience.

Recently, I received documents containing official records of Sgt. Stones military experience. Some of those records clearly demonstrate how he was harassed after he decided to publicly inquire into the UFO phenomena while still serving in the Army. In particular, he was ordered to undergo a psychological examination by Army doctors. After much difficulty in his attempts to retrieve the results of that examination, he was able to acquire those records. They reveal that there was no reason to conclude that he had any psychotic episodes or behavior. This was particularly interesting to me because of my own experiences.

In 1969, I was released from missile duty and sent to Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio to complete my MS degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology. I was not there too long before I received a call from the base hospital. The call was to inform me that I had an appointment to meet with the staff psychiatrist. When I protested that I had not made any such appointment, I was informed that it was an official order. I kept the appointment and reported to the psychiatrists office. I again protested my having to subject myself to an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. When the orderly came to escort me to the psychiatrists office, I refused to go unless the psychiatrist came and explained to me why I was there. After another 15 minute wait, the orderly returned and said I could go. There would be no psychiatric evaluation because I insisted on exercising my rights over my own mental condition. I have often reflected on that incident and wondered what would have happened had I been subjected to the psychiatrists questions about my mental state. Would he have gotten me to comment on my UFO incident so that there would an official mental health record of my claim? That would not only reflect poorly on my mental state but would have been a violation of my non-disclosure statement. I would never have been able to disclose by incident publicly without the stigma of seeing that psychiatrist and talking about UFOs. My testimony would have been discredited as the ramblings of one who was mentally ill. This technique has been used in many other valid UFO incidents I have reviewed.

In Sgt. Stones case, the record is clear. He was harassed by the Army for publicly expressing an interest in the UFO phenomenon. He was subjected to a psychiatric evaluation and fought off attempts to be forcibly retired.
