INTRODUCTION

Since early sightings of strange objects in the skies, we have similarly witnessed an inseparable phenomenon in connection to these: ridicule! An open-minded person is able to comprehend that our government would have held legitimate concerns, regarding the threat of public panic (if the beans might have been openly spilled that, in fact, extraterrestrial craft, piloted by alien entities had begun to visit us). But first, we will examine a possible need for such a versatile tool as ridicule—the power source that appears to have perpetuated a familiar and blanketed response that essentially says: All sightings are misinterpretations of common objects, terrestrial or celestial light sources, or more insultingly and damagingly, “a hoax” . . . in the end.

This becomes an important mechanism to expose in relation to what is, now, over fifty years of speculation in connection to the subject: Nearly every sighting and incident, ever reported, that contains details that rank as higher than ‘vague’ has been called a hoax.

Is it any wonder that what may have been our earliest and best source of leaked information was sharply attacked and ridiculed? However, after briefly outlining some background, we will introduce a person who may be one of the most important witnesses in the history of ufology: the chief scientist whose identity Frank Scully refused to reveal.

As sightings increased, and particularly, “incidents” (such as the multiple sightings over the nation’s capitol on July 19, 1952), it comes as no wonder that the heads of defense and intelligence agencies began to act quickly on forming a safety mechanism, against any potential loss of control over the issue. By January 1953, the Robertson Panel was formed to implement just such an approach, although the plans behind such an effort seem to have begun quite earlier. However, it becomes important to realize that public impatience over the UFO matter started to brew much earlier, even as early as the Nineteen-forties.

Under a generally more-relaxed climate of security—coupled with an increasingly persistent search for answers—we would not find it surprising that someone might ultimately penetrate the ‘bubble of secrecy.’ And further, that a resultant story would find its way into the public. Then, and even in our world today, this is called “news.” Is it any wonder that the person who claimed to have achieved such a feat was a famous news reporter?

True to form, a very savvy and salty-dog sort of reporter from the ‘old school,’ appears to have exhausted every source and contact he might have ever had. And this, toward breaking the greatest story of all times: the story Behind the Flying Saucers. His name is Frank Scully and his claims can be found in his book of the same title. In fact, this was the first hardcover book ever published about the subject, and at such an early time that a familiar acronym, now quickly becoming antiquated—UFO—does not even appear in the book’s text.

Returning to such terms mentioned so far, such as ‘ridicule’ and ‘hoax,’ we also find that Scully and his story had become an early target of those who appeared to be ‘tightening the lid’ on the UFO issue and its related leaks. Rather than rehashing what is old news to some, and without attempting to present a case that has been argued many times, we will provide the reader with a brief summation of Frank Scully’s predicament. The following quote comes from a purist researcher and animal doctor, Patricia Weissleader, who summarizes the scenario quite nicely:

“Think of an old movie, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. He plays a newspaper man. He may be nonconformist, but he is a newspaperman to the very soul, and his word is respected second only to the Bible by half of America. And if telling the truth brings him grief, he will have the grief, because the truth is more important than anything else. That is Frank Scully.

If he had ever had an affair or inhaled, or kicked a dog, it would have been easy to discredit him. But no one could find a single thing to make him look bad. The entire science of disinformation strategy may have been invented just to try to get people not to believe what he had to say.

. . . . Most people still believe that Scully was fooled, despite the facts that no one had ever complained that Newton and Gebauer had cheated them, people wanting to testify how well the equipment worked were not allowed to, and no fine or sentence was ever levied for the ‘offense’. To this day you can push a button on any card carrying UFO researcher and have them say that Scully was duped. If they even know who he was.”

Ms. Weissleader has put her finger on what may be the poignant issue with Scully’s case. That is, we must be willing to believe that a man of impeccable honesty and integrity, such as Frank Scully, suddenly became a blatant liar. Further, the sustained claims that continuously and erroneously argue that Silas Newton represented Scully’s sole source are quite thin, and represent an even weaker sort logic fallacy, such that they ignore most of what Scully has claimed. He countered that he derived much of his information from a body of sources, including testimonies from a total of eight scientists, as he personally met with a leading scientist of his day that spoke openly to him, even visiting with him at his home.

Scully’s book was not merely a delivery of facts and findings pertaining to otherworldly craft and related subject mater. Rather, it may be viewed as progressing in a few important phases: the leak, its ramifications, an ultimate testimony by a surprise witness, the outlay of a certain scientific philosophy, and Scully’s resultant list of unanswered questions.

Strangely, Scully had become quite impressed with scientific challenges arising from the various finds that were claimed in connection to UFOs. Oddly, he was so inspired by his conversation with a ‘top scientist’ that, unlike any book of the era written by a journalist, Scully devoted nearly a third of his book to discussing science matters and this, apart from any mention of UFOs. Upon reading the next segment, one should have no doubt why.

THE CHIEF SCIENTIST

Take a deep breath . . . then, exhale. Take another deep breath, and then exhale again. . . . You are about to be introduced to one of the most prolific pundits of the modern era: A scientist, a philosopher; but also, a statesman and social figure; truly, a renaissance man of immeasurable talents. He was born in 1871, but was noted to revolutionize an era before he died, the same year as did JFK, 1963. Some of you that intensely follow certain cutting-edge subjects may recognize his name. Many, on the other hand, will have never heard of him.

Have you heard such terms as Atomic Theory or Cosmogony? He advanced these at the turn of the last century. Have you heard of Nicola Tesla or Albert Einstein? He was revered as a mentor by these men. Have you heard of the New World Order, or even Sacred Geometry, or Zero Point Energy? Universal Wave Theory? He was the punctuate, modern inspiration behind originating many such notions, yet some of these notions have become given over to the interpretations of others, who later capitalized on his work.

Have you heard of the philosophy of Cosmic Consciousness? He is also the one from whom such a term is taken. Have you heard of Global Warming or the dangers of Ozone Depletion, or Atomic Suicide? (later called Mutually Assured Destruction). What about Superstring Physics or the Apollo 14 propulsion system? Amazingly, these feats represent but quite a short list of things he had become the father of, or was involved with.

He (along with his wife who often wrote and assisted him) may likely be the most plagiarized individuals of the modern era! There are many who now promote or appear to take credit for even these few milestones we have mentioned. Still, there are many readers who may yet be wondering “Who on earth are you talking about?”

We will get to that. . . . But the main reason he is being mentioned, here, is due to his involvement with issues of the field of ufology; more so, with that scenario going back to the Fifties: The scenario that involved Frank Scully and his insider revelations about alleged, crashed saucers, alien artifacts, alien bodies, and host of other features that have intrigued the masses, while serving as much of the foundation behind the modern view of ufology. However, while some may still not be certain of the name of our ‘mystery scientist,’ many others have long forgotten that prolific story (and its finer elements) as told by Frank Scully.

That brings us to a fleeting term we call “history,” and how our true perception of “what” and “who” has influenced it has come to be formed. And for those who hope to recapture certain important truths about that era of science and history, it becomes imperative to take a second look at the claims (and more so, the science, society, and influences) that were covered in Frank Scully’s book, Behind the Flying Saucers. Since I have treated his story in my book (Alien Conspiracy, by Chris B. Evans), I will not, thus, be recapping those elements here. But rather, I will merely suggest that those who have the opportunity, should attempt to read it again and read it carefully.

Even Frank Scully, himself, was somewhat enigmatic and was a person who has acted to shape certain parts of history. He was a secretary and ghost writer for Frank Harris, as Scully wrote the majority of Harris’ Bernard Shaw, a unauthorized biography . . . Harris had become ill and his memories were apparently fading by the end of the Roaring Twenties. Scully did his best to recover Harris’ notes and complete this important work in light of the circumstances.

George Bernard Shaw was a prolific but obscure writer, born in Dublin on 26 July, 1856. He is known for his works of literature and certain controversial antics related to social reform, and, for his ideas about Democracy and Socialism, going back to the days of Karl Marx. Bernard Shaw was serepticiously involved with events leading up to the ‘Bloody Sunday Riot’ of London, in 1884. Again, what we are discussing at this point are prominent milestones and figures of history, and Scully was one of them. Yet he is the same Scully who wrote a book, seeking to reveal a multitude of secrets pertaining to “flying saucers,” and to a similar degree of magnitude, the higher scientific knowledge and input of another man: the ‘mystery scientist’ we began describing above.

Briefly, Scully referred to several scientific figures while using various terms such as “chief scientist,” “the doctor,” “geophysicist,” “leading magnetic scientist,” “director of government projects” and other such terms. He had created a fictitious, general caricature that he mostly referred to as “Dr. Gee,” in order to relate quite a large and complicated body of technical information and related facts, pertaining to the sightings of UFOs and related rumors of crashes and artifacts. His “revelations” were viewed as a disclosure to some and as a “severe leak” by others, and ultimately, as a “hoax” to a large faction of the public that appears to have been duped by a clever ploy. The circumstances have remained clouded in confusion, persisting as a terse subject for schismatic debates, ever since.

During the later part of 1997 (and through part of 1998), I interviewed and communicated with many of Scully’s surviving family: his daughters Frani, Pat, Nonny, Moreen, and also Nonny’s close friend, David Hellman. I asked many questions about who Mr. Scully had been in contact with during those days, in light of his interests and activities related to “flying saucers.” My jaw began to drop as I began to hear certain descriptions and circumstances surrounding a visit, Scully received by an eminent yet humble scientist. The names involved were not entirely recalled by some of the Scully children, after so many years.

At the time, I was researching the whole debacle that emerged due to his book, and the subsequent shenanigans launched by debunkers, critics, and the like. For those who have further interest, quite a few of the details are covered in my book. But I am convinced that Scully and his wife, Alice, were true to their promises of secrecy and had not openly revealed the names of those providing information, nor the identity of that great man who “dropped by the house one day.”

However, I provide the following for those dedicated ufologists who have scoured the data over the years, while I trust that those who are sincere and knowledgeable will have little trouble in connecting the dots, or ‘putting two and two together’; especially, after reading the material I am about to provide. Again, I also recommend a reading of Scully’s book again, while carefully noting the nature and origins of the scientific concepts that were described. Further, while noting those incredible influences and trends that have arisen from the work of that astounding visionary and trend setter of the last century: the disciplined, humble, pervasive genius, and member of the Twilight Club who visited Frank Scully in those days. For those who can accept it from someone other than Scully himself, that visitor and mystery scientist was the eminent Dr. Walter Russell (1871-1963).

A further connection to Russell may come to light, upon considering that Henry Holt (publisher of Scully’s book) was also a member of the Twilight Club, a group that became formed by various literary pundits, scientists, businessmen, statesmen, etc., in pursuit of ethical and gracious precepts toward the future of the country.

As I prepared to write this disclosure, I soon became dumbfounded by the enormity and extent of Dr. Russell’s influence on so many features of science and philosophy that are in vogue today. But he was always seemingly in the background of the public view. This may be due, in part, for reason that his beliefs were quite controversial to a society that was predominately fundamental Christian, and further, reactionary to the Spiritualism movement of the turn of the last century and its related tensions. Russell was, of course, lumped into all of that.

Yet, possibly, one of the greatest testimonies to his genius is the fact that the brilliant Nicola Tesla is noted to have confessed that Russell’s theories were “one hundred years ahead” of their time. Looking back, we are able to agree with Tesla as only recently have such concepts become so widespread, and, with the Internet, so widely discussed: world crisis, atomic suicide, the secret of light, global warming, zero point energy, universal wave theory, ozone depletion, loss of atmospheric oxygen, wave dynamics and harmonics; even, cosmic consciousness and the origin of life. . . . However, it should be emphasized that the only way to view these (in the intrinsic manner in which Russell envisioned them) is to read and study his books and papers; since, so many spin doctors have attempted to reinterpret and skew them, according to their own ideas and purposes.

Dr. Russell had undergone a thirty-nine-day period of being imbued that some might call “illumination.” However, Dr. Russell’s own words should be taken as the best source of explanation for these ideas.

Beyond what I have supplied as a feeble background for Russell (in this intentionally brief exposé), I will leave a few links and tell-tale quotes from Scully’s book, which stand as clues that Scully left, regarding at least two of his sources. I might add that the only way to truly recognize the magnitude of Dr. Russell’s impact on science and society at large, would be to read his biography, books, and do some searches using his name. For a quick look at some of his diagrams and principles, I am supplying as a first resource, a link to the legacy he has left behind: The University of Science and Philosophy, now located in Blacksburg, Virginia—once, occupying Swannanoa Palace atop Afton Mountain, Virginia.

A quick look at some of his diagrams at the website would serve as a good starting place toward knowing and understanding the man and the mind:

Some additional, subtle and revealing quotes from Behind the Flying Saucers: “In 1945 Newton told Walter Russell that the broadcasting of microwaves by his instrumentation never exceeded 32 miles.”

“Instead of staying home overnight on the desert, we decided to drive back to town, a matter of only two hours and the eminent geophysicist stopped off at our house for a short visit to meet miss Scully and our family.”

Russell's Connection to the Term, "One World"

Book: The One World Purpose, by Lao and Walter Russell. 1960.

Paradigm Shift in the Physics of the Atom (e.g., magnetic separations)

"Even earlier, in the 1920's, Walter Russell had demonstrated that electrical discharge through a neon type tube, containing a mixture of gasses and water, would cause a change in the elements in the tube, turning the water into 17 different elements, if magnetic fields were arranged around the tube in certain ways. This experiment was repeated and verified by scientists working for Westinghouse and the data was again verified in 1992 by Dr. Timothy Binder in an article published by the American Chemical Society as part of its conference proceedings. Dr. Moray was another early inventor who conducted experiments with gases and electricity and also reported that he could cause transmutation of some elements."

"The conventional wisdom of nuclear physics is that the science known variously as quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics has defined a complete model of the energetics of matter with very nearly a complete model of the constituents of matter. According to these theories, certain truths' have been established as the orthodox knowledge of science. Among these truths is that atoms are highly stable, unless subjected to extremely high forces, known as high energy' physics. Connected to these truths is the idea that the radioactive decay rate of radioactive elements is immutable, in other words, it is a constant which operates regardless of the chemical and electrical environment of the elements. In short, it takes nuclear physics, as practiced through nuclear power reactors, to cause changes in the elements.

"This prevailing scientific paradigm is flat wrong, which gives rise to a great opportunity. Researchers and experimentalists have been demonstrating since the 1920's that the nuclear physics models which were championed by Fermi and the "Copenhagen School" were wrong, or at least, fundamentally incomplete. Even Einstein did not accept the so-called truths of nuclear physics which are practiced today."

Russell's Prediction of Atomic Catastrophes

"Walter Russell, a visionary artist and scientist, predicted in his book Atomic Suicide? published in 1957 that due to man-made radioactivity we would experience a loss of oxygen in the air that we breathe. In a similar way to the predictions of Andrei Sakharov in the 1950's, Walter Russell's foresight is now coming true. Our current oxygen resources are low. The percentage of oxygen in the air is down to about 19 percent. (BioTech News 1997) The expected amount is 21 percent oxygen. Some experts say that we may have originally evolved in an atmosphere of 38 percent oxygen. But now, due to the loss of forests and ocean plankton, our two sources of oxygen production, measurements of oxygen as low as 12 percent and 15 percent have been made in heavily industrialized areas. This oxygen-depleted condition is a contributing cause of the generalized lack of well-being that many are experiencing. And it does not look good for the future. We need oxygen to live! "

Connection to Evans' Theories of near Death Experiences

"Since my specialty in near-death research is one-on-one sessions with experiencers, I can speak little of the phenomenon's historical significance except to point out the fascinating anomaly that an amazing number of people important to the evolution of humankind may well have had such an episode during their childhood. I discuss this at length in both Future Memory and Children of the New Millennium. Some of the notables I came across in only one week of perusing library records were Abraham Lincoln, Mozart, Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth I, Edward de Vere/the 17th Earl of Oxford (who most likely is the real Shakespeare), Winston Churchill, Black Elk, Walter Russell, plus several others. Either I was possessed of "library luck" that week or there really is a connection between near-death states and possible structural chemical, and functional shifts that appear to occur in the brain, elevating the individual I appreciable ways. My research leads me to believe the latter."

Mention of Russell's Illumination'

"The late Walter Russell, who was an artist and scientist located in Waynesboro, Virginia, had a published reading on pg. 165 in the book "Channeling" by John Klimo. Russell claimed that the messages came from "God," and that they gave him an understanding of how the basic universal forces of electromagnetism, gravity, and atomic energy really operate. Let's hear what God has to say, from an excerpt first published in 1947: In My universe there is but one form from which all forms appear. That one form is the pulsing cube-sphere, two halves of the heartbeat of My dual thinking. All forms pulse, therefore, all forms are two, one form for the inbreathing pulse, which generates, and one for the outbreathing, radiating one. The cube is the sphere expanded by the outward breath to black rest in cold space, and the sphere is the cube compressed to the incandescence of white-hot suns by the inward breath.' "
