Summary: Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, govern-ment agencies have declassified millions of pages of documents on numerous subjects. But there are other files, many of a far more intriguing nature than those the government has already released. Theyre the ones that agencies havent released. They include the files that supposedly cant be found, that are suspiciously missing, as well as the top-secret papers that agencies admit exist but which they are determined to keep hidden from us. The reason: to prevent the truth behind some of the biggest conspiracies of all time from ever surfacing. For Nobodys Eyes Only includes fascinating new information on: The conspiracy-filled story of the buried files and photos documenting the legendary Roswell UFO crash of 1947 The truth about the secret records of the JFK assassination that still remain sealed from public view The sensational and missing data behind the Watergate scandal that brought down President Nixon The mysteriously vanished documents on the CIAs controversial mind-control operation, Project MKUltra It will also discuss the nature of how documents are deemed classified and top secret. For Nobodys Eyes Only picks the locks to the secret vaults they dont want any of us to see-- Provided by publisher.

I would like to offer my very sincere thanks and deep appreciation to everyone at New Page Books and Career Press, particularly Michael Pye, Laurie Kelly-Pye, Kirsten Dalley, Roger Sheety, Gina Talucci, Jeff Piasky, and Adam Schwartz; and to all the staff at Warwick Associates for their fine promotion and publicity campaigns. I would also like to say a very big thank you to my literary agent, Lisa Hagan, for all her hard work and help.

Mahatma Gandhi, the man who ultimately led India to gain independence from the United Kingdom, made a wise and knowing statement: A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. Gandhis words were intended to be interpreted in a wholly positive fashion. That is to say, when people put their minds to tasks at hand, and their belief is solid, strong, and unswerving, they can achieve just about anything and everything they desire (Prabhu and Rao, 1998).

There is, however, another body of determined spirits who have an unquenchable faith in their mission and who can, and assuredly have, altered the course of history. They have done so in two most unfortunate ways: by hiding history and, sometimes, even by erasing it from the face of the Earth. And who might they be? They are nothing less than a small but influential body of characters secreted within the highest echelons of government. Following secret agendas, they have buried, burned, shredded, and hidden from the general public an incalculable number of Top Secret files that, if released and made available for one and all to see, would undoubtedly rewrite significant portions of 20th- and 21st-century history.

Government files and records get destroyed or denied release for all manner of reasons, not all of them, or even most of them, remotely sinister. And on this matter, its vital, at the outset, to dispel some widely held views, opinions, assumptions, and prejudices. Often, conspiracy theorists point fingers at government agencies and, by default, practically accuse all of their collective employees of being implicated in countless cases of controversial chicanery and coverup. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of all employees of officialdomwhether of the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, or of Britains intelligence agencies, MI5 and MI6are not engaged in any form of deceit, deception, and conspiracy. Indeed, the exact opposite is the case.

Most of those who work in the arena of government, and for whom highlevel secrets are part and parcel of their everyday work, should not be demonized. They are loyal, patriotic individuals doing their utmost to defend their respective nations and people from enemies and aggressors. Unfortunately, the actions of the few often create situations that reflect upon, and sorely taint, the many. It is those few, those who wield significant power, and who sometimes operate outside of the law when the mood takes them or circumstances dictate is necessary, who we have in our sights in For Nobodys Eyes Only.

In the pages that follow, you will learn how, and why, the classified files on the infamous UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 cannot be found. Anywhere. Youll also learn why not even the United States Congress, the Air Force, and the Government Accountability Office (the investigative arm of Congress) could locate the records pertaining to the alleged alien event. Youll come to appreciate how and why an almost identical situation applies to what might be termed a British Roswell. Its an out of this world incident that occurred in December 1980 that shook the British government to its foundations. Like Roswell, its also a saga dominated by missing records and vanished files.

Moving away from UFOs, there are major questions to be answered, many of them relative to the world of Hollywood and famous faces. Why, for example, does the CIA deny holding any files on the worlds most famous blond, Marilyn Monroe, when documented evidence from other agencies demonstrates the agency does have records on the legendary star? As for Diana, Princess of Walesarguably one of the most famous faces of all timewho is it that sits tight on the hours upon hours of illegal recordings of her private phone calls with close confidantes and secret lovers?

What about classified government projects of a highly controversial nature? Were talking, specifically, about mind control, the use of human test subjects in radiation-based experiments, and even officialdoms deep digging into the dark and disturbing arena of black magic, Satanism, and the occult. We know the projects existed, but where are the records? Who is hiding them? Who destroyed them? Why is their very existence denied?
