FBI Spied On Early UFO Guru While Discrediting His Message

When I stumbled upon this unassuming report in the FBI’s “vault” of declassified top-secret documents describing the surveilling of an obscure meeting held by a Ufologist more than half a century ago, I wondered why the founding director of the FBI, J.Edgar Hoover, had so much interest in what appeared to be just another group of early flying saucer enthusiasts.

However, when I began to read the detailed account (See at the End of this Special Report) of what the Ufologist, who was being spied on had to say, it piqued my interest. After a while, I began to believe that this lecture to a small group in 1960 was far more significant than it first appeared.

After reading the report for the third time, instead of shrugging my shoulders and moving on, I felt a little like somebody who went to a flea market looking for a reproduction of a masterpiece for his living room, only to find an original Rembrandt or a Picasso. That’s because I had chanced upon one of the first historically documented expositions of an “ancient astronaut theory” that had been kept out of public view for decades.

Today, such theories abound in the media; they are embraced by some as a new religion. But in 1960 such an intricate description of ancient astronauts and how they changed our world was nonexistent.

The fact is this report shows that years before Erich von Daniken published his controversial, ancient astronaut blockbuster “Chariots of the Gods” in 1967, someone had already researched and was sharing with others the theory that extraterrestrials had indeed visited us, shaped our world and were still continuing to do so.

The meeting of about 250 people was held at Pipps Auditorium located in City Park Denver. The only details about the speaker revealed in the FBI’s
report was that he had been in the “flying game” for more than 30 years, operated a Civil Aeronautics Authority airfield, and spent his spare
time recruiting others to his UFO group through public talks that drew small crowds of the curious.

However, based on the report and the dates and places of the meeting, the redacted name in the report was an early Ufologist and futurist, the late George Van Tassel.

Van Tassel died of a heart attack at 67, but his followers claimed he was in good health, and that his office was ransacked after his death. These claims hatched many conspiracy theories.

Answers Many Questions

Still, this FBI report on Van Tassel’s talks reveals a most concise, authoritative, and logical theory for the origin of UFOS and extraterrestrials.

It also explains the reason for their presence now and
throughout recorded history, as well as the surprising motivation behind the U.S. government’s virulent disinformation campaign and its iron-fisted
policy to keep the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrials a secret.

Catastrophic Polar Shift

The FBI must have been concerned about the Ufologist’s revelations gaining traction because the agent carefully chronicled the demographics of the gathering, “The audience was comprised of a majority of older individuals and also the majority of the audience was female,” the agent wrote.

“There were few young people, although some family groups.” This was good news to Hoover. That’s because as history teaches us, no movement can grow exponentially without youthful members’ activism.

During a presentation that lasted for several hours, the agent wrote that the Ufologist “gave a lecture that was more of a religious-economics lecture than one of unidentified flying objects.”

This seemed to surprise the agent, but the integration of UFOs, the economy, and man’s spiritual progress has always been the holistic approach embraced by serious researchers.

But before Van Tassel took the holistic approach in his presentation, the
agent reported that the mystery man played a 45-minute movie, which included shots of “things purported to be flying saucers, and then some interviews from individuals from all walks of life regarding sightings they had made of such unidentified flying objects.”

Ancient Astronaut Theory

Once the credibility of the UFO phenomena and witnesses to them was established, the Ufologist then began his in-depth reveal, telling his flock of curious listeners that ancient astronauts had indeed seeded our planet with many kinds of animals in a Noah’s Ark scenario, which is a story that has been recorded by just about every civilization that ever existed. He said this restocking event had become necessary because of a cataclysmic polar shift that wiped out the dinosaurs.

This part of Van Tassel’s talk gives some credence to many of his claims because it is based on real science. As early as 1872 Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a French scholar and expert in ancient Mexican myths, discovered mention of cataclysmic events in ancient Mesoamerican myths that were sparked by a sudden shifting of the Earth’s axis.

Furthermore, in 1948, electrical engineer Hugh Auchincloss Brown
hypothesized that there had been several catastrophic pole shifts throughout Earth’s history triggered by excess accumulation of ice at the poles.

Worlds in Collision

In 1950, Russian scholar Immanuel Velikovsky theorized in his book “Worlds in Collision” that the planet Venus originated from Jupiter as a comet and during two near approaches created devastating polar shifts.

He also based his hypothesis on the accounts in ancient books from various cultures throughout the world. Finally, in 1958 college professor Charles Hapgood wrote a book with a foreword by Albert Einstein called “The Earth’s Shifting Crust” in which he also contended that such radical polar shifts occurred about every 20,000 to 30,000 years.

Although Van Tassel didn’t go into which polar — shifting theory he embraced, he did say that one of these events had made the earth the perfect environment for a colony of male ancient astronauts, who after arriving on our planet soon grew tired of waiting for their female counterparts to arrive from the stars.

Perhaps their journey to the third planet from the Sun had been interrupted. So, they decided to mate with “intelligent, upright walking animals, which was the race of Eve.” The intriguing element of this early ancient astronaut scenario it is backed by scripture from the
Old Testament.
