One of the most respected correspondents in Washington  has given national exposure to the alleged government cover up of UFO sightings and extraterrestrial intelligent life.
                                         
Sarah McClendon, in her regular column and Washington commentary, said over the weekend, that the belief in UFOs and Ets is increasing among "a community of scientists and technicians employed by government."

"The real danger to the U.S. and perhaps this whole planet is the government has placed such a heavy blanket of secrecy upon this issue. So much secrecy, those in government who have knowledge showing UFOs are identifiable feel the subject cannot be discussed by those in the know without serious repercussions.

Others are afraid their friends and co workers will think they are crazy if they even so much as insinuate that UFOs are identifiable as manned craft from outside the earth. This particularly applies to newspaper editors and publishers, reporters and analysts. Thus the U. S. is denying itself the chance to learn more about UFOs or to encourage research despite the fact  the U. S. stands to gain form such discussions,"  said McClendon.

She revealed that the President Bill Clinton "had many briefings" on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence, including briefings by Laurence Rockefeller and briefings for other,  cabinet level officials appointed by the President.  Dr. Steven Greer, who directs the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), also  briefed the CIA director at the time, she said.

"Subsequently, Clinton instructed Webster Hubbell, when naming him to the position of Associate Attorney General at the Justice Department, that he wanted him to investigate and report back to him on two things, circumstances surrounding the death of President John F. Kennedy, and the existence of UFOs.

Hubbell, despite his position  and the presidential imprimatur, was boxed in at the Justice Department and never was able to find out.  All of this was disclosed in Hubbell's memoir "Friends in High Places,'" said McClendon.

"Now the lid on UFOs is gradually coming off," she said, citing a series of initiatives by organizations that are increasing the pressure for disclosure. These include a national petition drive calling for Congressional hearings on government information;  new information on the reported alien craft crash near Roswell, NM more than 50 years ago; Arizona's Citizens Against UFO Secrecy's drive to raise $10,000 for its disclosure lawsuit against the  Department of Defense; CSETI's disclosure  advocacy; and proliferating discussions and reports of UFO activity on the Internet.

"Another who feels that positive proof exists within government, was the late Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso,  who revealed in his book, 'The Day After Roswell,' that he was in charge of the Roswell files during his tenure as head of the Army's Foreign Technology Division.

He states unequivocally that these files confirm the crash that occurred at Roswell, New Mexico was an alien spacecraft. This completely refutes the Air Force denials and subsequent explanations.

Corso says that the crashed vehicle was studied and proved to be manufactured of materials unknown as to source  and usage in this country. In time, he says, this and other UFOs provided technologies that were 'worked into the commercial world via front companies.'

Incidentally he vouches for the fact that this has proven to be a valuable contribution to U.S. aircraft design and other commercial products," says McClendon.

The McClendon News Service in Washington distributed the correspondent's commentary over the weekend. 

EDITORS NOTE: Sarah McClendon was a White House reporter who had covered every President since Franklin D. Roosevelt and was known for shouting questions at most of them.

For over half a century, presidents had found themselves confronted by her questions about treatment of veterans, government secrecy and other issues.

“She was one of the greatest newspaperwomen Washington ever saw,” said Helen Thomas, who has covered the White House for decades.

“She walked in where angels fear to tread,” Thomas said. “She had guts, she asked the questions that should have been asked, and she asked questions for people who had no voice.” She said McClendon “made the veins stand out” on President Eisenhower’s forehead.

McClendon also had an interest in UFOs and the possible government cover-up which she often featured on her McClendon News Service.

For her part, McClendon said it was her duty to be aggressive with the nation’s leaders.

“Citizen journalist is a mission I took for myself. It offers the best opportunity to serve one’s country, the people and the public interest,” McClendon wrote in her 1996 book, Mr. President, Mr. President!

“It has been a privilege to have lived this life,” she added. “I cannot wait to get out of bed each morning and start living it some more.”

Sarah McClendon passed away on January 7, 2003.

With the recent announcement of the ongoing project to clone the extinct Tasmanian Tiger, the controversy continues to rage concerning the science of cloning.  Once thought to be strictly regulated to the realm of science fiction, cloning has been proven possible by scientists conducting research on animals.  With these new innovations, the possibility of human cloning seems closer to reality then ever before.  However, stories from alleged UFO abductees, military insiders and others, seem to indicate that effective human cloning has already taken place. The question remains, who has accomplished this technological breakthrough and why?  The answers, unfortunately, remain obscured behind the smoke screen of UFO disinformation.

The cloning of humans could now be close to reality thanks to the historic scientific breakthroughs of the 1990's. The initial debate on this issue has been dominated by misleading accounts in the news media and knee jerk reactions from uninformed politicians.  Much of the negativity about human cloning is based simply on the breathtaking novelty of the concept rather than on any real undesirable consequences.  Human cloning could have overwhelming advantages if regulated in a reasonable way. A comprehensive ban on human cloning by public officials would be a sorry episode in human history.

A human clone would be a "time delayed"  identical twin of another person. Science fiction books and movies have given people the impression that human clones would be mindless creatures or "doubles."   Human clones would be human beings like everyone else on the planet. They would be carried and delivered after nine months by a human mother and raised in a family.  Consequently, a clone twin will be decades younger than the original person.   There could be no danger of people confusing a clone twin with the original person. As with identical twins, the clone and DNA donor would have different fingerprints. A clone will not inherit any of the memories of the original person. Because of these differences, a clone is not a exact copy or "double" of a person, just a much younger person with identical DNA.

This scenario will, for now, remain unreachable until the time comes when the public and lawmakers allow themselves to be educated on the scientific truths regarding cloning.  Some of these truths,  however, may never be known.  Rumors have circulated over the years that human cloning has already been accomplished, and is currently being secretly implemented.

Abductee and author Katharina Wilson relates an experience she had in July of 1993, where she found herself standing outside near the entrance to an underground base that was located inside a mountain. She reported that she saw official looking people and some military personnel. A "blonde" alien being with dark brown eyes said to her:

"Your Government is performing human cloning experiments, men and women are being cloned and experimented on. When the experiments are over the clones are used for prostitution by the scientists, the government people, and the military personnel.  After they are through with them or no longer want them, the clones are killed."  

The being continued: "Our technology was taken from us. Your Government manipulated us into believing  they would use our technology to help your species, but instead, they used it for their  own purposes. It is out of control. It is beyond our ability to stop your Government  without your help."    

Wilson believes the stories that some abductees have claimed to have seen  clones of themselves.  She adds, " It is not easy to admit, but I am one of those people who have witnessed this.   During an encounter in 1993, I saw two women who I knew were clones of myself.  One was eight months pregnant and the other was a prostitute. They were both living  in an underground facility.  Neither of these women had a choice concerning their lives. They were just like the thousands of animals many of our scientists create to experiment on. It was devastating for me to see these women. They were both living  miserable and hopeless lives and were at the mercy of their creators."

Hypnotherapist  Barbara Bartholic  has researched over 300 abduction cases since 1987, some of these cases involved what appeared to be aliens cloning human beings.

"Throughout my work, from the beginning it has been evident that the aliens are capable of creating clones in large numbers. Probably the fetuses they take at such an alarming rate have to do with cloning procedures, nourishment  procedures, et cetera.  If the aliens know how to clone, they know everything there is to know about the human body.  They know the recipe for the human body from  molecule to molecule..."

During a regression by Bartholic, a man named Fred told of a situation which may be a description of a cloning procedure.

"I feel like they are doing something to me with the animal. They are doing something  with me, my blood, my sperm and my genes. They are injecting my fluids into this animal.  Then I remember seeing another type of animal running around. I can't  remember what the animal looked like, but it was bizarre. Seems like the animal is  part human   part animal."

In 1994, the late Dr. Karla Turner wrote, "...by far the most alarming evidence of alien technology concerns the 'new' bodies and 'clones' they manufacture.  Whether these are really bodies for a future human resurrection, remains to be seen, for other explanations have been given. In a case privately reported, for  instance, a man was told that a duplicate of his body could be used to 'replace' him if he didn't cooperate with the aliens. He was told that other people wouldn't  be able to distinguish his cloned body from the original, if they chose to replace him."

A male abductee told  Katharina Wilson in 1992  that he had seen what he believed to be clones in an underground military facility.  He reported they were all sleeping inside some kind of rectangular containers which were  lined up in rows. Wilson noticed that while the man was sharing this information, he became frightened and his voice became softer and softer until he stopped talking.  When she asked him to continue he said he was so afraid that he did not feel as if he should tell her any thing else about the experience.

In her book, "The Alien Jigsaw,"  Wilson writes about an experience she had in April of 1991.

"I was standing outside my door on the porch in the middle of the night. I was wearing my nightgown and I was looking into my courtyard at a blonde humanoid  being with a small male child. They were both wearing white, tight fitting, one piece body suits and they both had thin white hair and huge, blue eyes. The child looked exactly like the father.   

"After we made eye contact, the child recognized me and I knew in my heart that he was my child, although he didn't look anything like me. However, he was a 'carbon copy'  of his father. Even at that time, I suspected that the young boy was cloned  from the father because they were identical, except for their dispositions and their  heights.  If I was the mother, which I still believe to this day, then I may have been some type of surrogate mother."
    
"The aliens are clones of clones of clones. They do not reproduce in the way humans to, and over generations of cloning, they have lost many of their organs. Their organs have atrophied. The mouth does not have a way of swallowing. All it can do is hold something that could dissolve and liquefy. In other words, the mouth is its own stomach, for they have no stomach."  
 
This, according to  Dr. John Coleman in his book "Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300," is the actual nature of the extraterrestrial creatures visiting our planet.

"These entities, by necessity and by their nature, look upon humans as inferior creatures, capable of supplying them with some of their biological needs. They do not see humans as having any special divine rights to life, liberty or individuality. They see humans as simply being another type of animal on earth which has certain unique qualities in terms of its chemical make up, in terms of hormones, in terms of various qualities that can be used to extract energy and life essence.

"They see humans as producers of Adrenalchrome and as capable of giving them genetic material for genetic engineering purposes.   It is not that they are necessarily evil in this regard, although they would be considered evil to the human, but they are really not any more evil in this regard than would be the human who is hired to take off the heads of turkeys for Thanksgiving slaughters in order to market the turkeys."

Abductees have been reporting for years about seeing clones of themselves and other humans.  Walter Bowart in his book "Operation Mind Control" says, "There is usually a twenty year lag between a laboratory development of a new technology and its applications at large."  Could it be true that an ongoing cloning project has been in operation for a number of years, either by the military or even extraterrestrial entities?   Are we only now hearing reports about the reality of human clones after twenty years of secret development?

According to Dr. Michael Wolf in his book "The Catchers of Heaven," an ultra secret project having to do with cloning a human to create the perfect soldier who would obey orders without question, was being researched by the Department of Defense.  Reportedly, the clone turned out to have been born with ethical thinking, and intuitively knew that life was sacred. When the  clone disobeyed a test order to kill an innocent dog, Wolf said that "the project officer ordered the clone terminated.   It was my judgment that the clone had a soul.  So, instead, I blew up the building containing the clone project and surreptitiously allowed the clone to escape."

Classic UFO literature, at first glance, appears to be relatively free of references to clones and cloning procedures.  However, with a little research, a few interesting cases come to light that may be the result of cloning or some kind of extraterrestrial duplication process.

In May, 1968, UFO researcher George Smyth of Elizabeth, New Jersey noticed a car parked across the street from his house.  Three men stepped out that Smyth immediately recognized as UFO investigators John Keel, Gray Barker and Jim Moseley, or so he thought.  Smyth, who had observed the men from an upstairs window, ran downstairs to greet them, only to see their blue Volkswagon speeding away.  Smyth noticed that the car carried no license plate.
 
Feeling there had been something strange about the men, he telephoned Moseley and Barker, who told him they had not been away from home all day.  Smyth later recalled that the three men he saw bore facial characteristics identical to Keel, Barker and Moseley. However, whoever the impersonators were, they "goofed" on heights.  Where the real men's order in height was Barker  Moseley   Keel, the three "doppelgangers" Smyth saw had Barker and Keel at the same height, while Moseley was the shortest of the group. 

This incident was just one of many strange events to plague George Smyth who also reported several strange encounters with the Men in Black during his time as a UFO investigator.

"Doppelganger"  is a German word describing the exact double of an individual.  Often historical cases of people sighting their doppelganger had a ghostly air around the encounter.  On the other hand, the three UFO investigators doppelgangers indicate that the doubles were flesh and blood and not ghosts.

That same year in Jersey City, New Jersey, Mary Robinson, wife of Jim Robinson, then assistant editor for Saucer News, had her own strange encounter with a doppelganger.

Jim and Mary had recently been stalked by dark cars and weird men who would watch their apartment from across the street.  One morning when Mary was returning to their apartment she noticed Jim Moseley standing in the middle of the nearby street acting like a traffic policeman.  She stood and watched him for perhaps three to four minutes, while he turned and looked in all directions, apparently without noticing or recognizing her.  Mary had the impression that he was attempting to see what would happen if he drew attention to himself, and that he evidently did not wish her to approach him.  

Later, when Mary left the apartment she saw Moseley still standing in the same position in the middle of the street.  When she returned she observed that while he was dressed in the usual business suit, he was also wearing the grey topcoat he had worn the past winter.  What struck Mary as odd was that the day was warm and sunny, much to warm to be wearing a topcoat.  As she was walking in the door the phone rang, when Mary answered it she was shocked to hear Jim Moseley's voice on the other end.  He explained that he had gotten an impulse to call her briefly to discuss her recent Men in Black encounters.

Without explanation, Mary asked Jim to hold the phone.  Then she ran outside.  Jim or the man who had looked exactly like him, was no longer there.  

While some UFO researchers might feel honored if extraterrestrials cloned several different versions of themselves.  Neither John Keel, Gray Barker or Jim Moseley could offer a good explanation why there would be doubles of themselves running around scaring UFO witnesses and other investigators.  As John Keel put it: "There's no telling what kind of strange things those silly flying saucer folk will do."

In his controversial book "The Day After Roswell," the late Col. Philip Corso claimed he was allowed access to medical autopsy reports describing the physical characteristics of the extraterrestrial biological entities recovered from the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico.  The medical report and supporting photographs suggested that the creature was remarkably well adapted for long distance space travel.  The creatures were only four feet tall and oddly had lungs that occupied a far greater percentage of the chest cavity then human lungs did.  This indicated to the doctors and Corso that the entity could be a clone, specifically engineered for long distance space travel.

Corso sums up his book by stating: "These creatures weren't benevolent alien beings who had come to enlighten human beings.  They were genetically altered humanoid automatons, cloned biological entities, actually, who were harvesting biological specimens on Earth for their own experimentation."

As further scientific research continues to unlock the mysteries of human existence, the ability to clone individuals will eventually become a reality.  While the concept of cloned humans is unnerving to some, the medical benefits will soon overcome any past reservations produced through ignorance.  
     
Someday, evidence may surface that humans have been cloned in the past. This could be either through secret military experiments or by alien visitors.  If this is true, then the prospect of a beneficial science based on cloning would probably be doomed to suppression due to the almost primitive horror that would be raised from the darkest corners of our collective psyches.
