Hello Col. Alexander

I noticed on you website you had a photo with Phillip Corso. I was wondering if you thought his book was legit. I noticed in a previous post you said the craft at Roswell was one of ours. I got the impression from his book that he was involved in reverse engineering from Roswell. What are your thoughts on this?

Was he involved in providing info for reverse engineering and if so was it from Roswell or sometime prior or after.

Perhaps you'd comment a bit on your view of the merits of the phenomenological "Hebrew" route to knowledge & truth in contrast to the "Greek" dissection, "scientific" method route . . . particularly highlighting your understanding of the strengths of each compared to the other.

So many hereon seem to think that phenomenology has no merit whatsoever and that ONLY the "scientific" method can discover "real truly truest truth."

The standard model of evolution, currently, is that matter gave birth to intelligence (or consciousness) through evolution. The model suggests that consciousness is tied intrinsically to the mind, and that, when the body dies--intelligence dies with it.

In your studies and experience, have you found evidence to the contrary? That, consciousness is not born from the evolution of organic material (although matter itself did evolve), but exists apart from it?

And, if consciousness is "separate" from the body, what is it made of? Is it made of organic matter? An undiscovered form of matter? Or something else entirely?

Also, if a "spiritual realm" existed, how would you go about verifying it's existence? How would you measure it?


You seem tied to the mechanistic model that suggest the mind must have matter to exist. the model I see suggests the brain and mind are separate. Recommend the work on non-local consciousness. Far too voluminous to cover here. Measurement is always problematic. But then, how do you measure dreams? Almost everybody dreams, and we can measure brain activity during the process, but that is NOT the same as measuring a dream. I suspect spirit realms are quite similar.

Dear Sir, Ive been doing some research on a case that has led me to some controversial claims in my opinion, one is something that was told to Author Timothy Good by Sir Peter Horsley, it was claimed that the American Government or Military complex were very much involved with the Uk's Ufo problem back in the 1950's and are supposedly very much still in control of the Uk's UFO Investigations today.

Do you know anything that you could add to Sir Peter Horsleys claims on this matter ?


There are many people who make such claims. That doesn't make them right. I think Good is wrong in many areas, but he's entitled to his opinion.


Thank you for your reply but I was also told by Nick pope that a lot of documents relating to some very interesting case's from back in the 50's were supposedly destroyed in the 1960's Nick isn't the only well known researcher to tell me this either. Personally I don't feel these files have been destroyed, there must be a record of them somewhere. So maybe the Americans have a record of these files ?

Edit to add, could you tell us what your opinion is in relation to what Timothy Good has claimed in relation to Interviews he had conducted with Sir Peter Horsley ?

If you would rather we talk about this in private via your website that is fine by me.

Thank you very much for your time.

Files being destroyed is a norm, not an exception. As I have noted on other occasions, when on active duty I got credit for linear feet of documents destroyed without noting what was in them. If the USG did not destroy them (before the digital age) Washington would have sunk into the swamp it is built on.

Is it possible that even though you have been in military intelligence for decades that your really not in the know of subjects like ET, UFOs and Paranormal etc.. and there are some people who are in the know that have no interest in any of your interests and that is why you have not / cannot meet them and gain some real knowledge and insight on the reality of these fields of knowledge?

Wealth inequity is a huge problem. Our Gini coefficient is worse than before the Great Depression and on par with such economic powerhouse as Paraguay and Uganda.

Mr Alexander thank you for taking the time here to answer questions for us. I would like to ask your opinion in regards to the "force" behind the ufo, and of course multi faceted paranormal realm, what is your opinion on the true purpose behind this forces intentions? After all I'm sure you agree that there is a core phenomenon that is operating in and around human conciousness so what is its motivation, lets just focus on the alien phenomena for simplicity. Thx


Have no idea what the motivation might be. As stated previously we are not yet at the place of asking the right questions, let alone posing answers.

In your book 'UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, Realities' you mention that you were working on your own strategy within the Congress to deal with the UFO issue around the same time that the "disclosure circus came to town", led by Dr. Steven Greer and his entourage of top secret government insiders and whistleblowers. You suggested that their efforts spoiled and put a stop to your own and you used somewhat harsh wording to describe The Disclosure Project's demands on government.

Could you elaborate on your thoughts on Bassett 'n Greer's Disclosure movements and what you find right or wrong about them? Since most of the people here are "educated" by the variety of disclosure memes propagated by these people.


Let's understand that contrary to the hoopla in the UFO community, to a politician UFOs are not going to enhance their position. I went into fair amount of detail about that. Biggest problem was screaming at the nasty USG and threatening them if they didn't provide the answers they wanted. Their witnesses were also an issue. While there were some legitimate people (like Bob Salas) they had others that are less than honest. I've stated many times, several at the level of POTUS have said UFOs are real. But Steve's position is that ET is here and walking among us, something there is no evidence to support.

Oh, a black helicopter just opened fire on the alien grey I keep tied up out back. They must be searching for my anti chemtrail-plane rocket propelled grenade launcher that I stole from the Rothschilds. Gotta go.

Very clever. Appreciate the comment.

Hi John and thanks for responding to some of my questions. A year or two ago there was a debate between you and Richard Dolan on some radio program, it was great, Leslie Keen was the moderator,all authors of some of the best books about ufos in years Are you two planning or have you done another? Also in one of my previous questions you mentioned that you knew Monroe and had used his system to have an Out of Body Experience but you did not detail, could you explain what you experienced? Have you had an OBE or NDE? Thanks again....Oh one more thing, I have seen an documentary about John Hutchison and you were in it briefly, I am wondering if you think that the types of technology he supposedly demonstrates was used in 9/11, which is what Dr. Judy Wood suggests. You know what I am talking about, "scalar interferometry"


There are no current plans for another debate. Also, most of my time is devoted to "straight world" projects. My next monograph on maritime piracy is due out shortly.

Have not had an NDE and only partial OBE (not at Monroe's) I did use sensory deprivation for awhile. Great experiences. I might mention one of my brothers has had both OBEs and an NDE. As I stated in the book, if you can't trust your family, who can you trust?

I know John and funded some of his work years ago. Strange things happened but never under control. As for Wood's hypothesis, I'd put the probability of being true as approaching zero (because in probablistics you can never reach zero).

Sir, I am happy to hear your belief in God now although not sure how reincarnation would fit with that. You specifically mentioned the four horsemen, it appears they have begun to arrive, do you agree, if so, thoughts on the antichrist.

There are those who believe that the ETs are the fallen angels, what are you the thoughts.

You mentioned in my other question that you do not believe they are helping us, can you elaborate then how they are working against us......

Thanks again sir,

Hooooa, the Bot


There are people who believe a lot of things. I try not to get into religious debates but do believe in a spiritual nature to things.

Hello John. Thanks for this opportunity.

I have read your book UFO's: Myths, Conspiracies and Realties and together with Leslie Keans book, I consider it my favorite books regarding this complex topic.

Via your book I came across other great reads (like Hunt for the Skinwalker), so my question is, could you recommend here some other books you find higly inspirational/informative/intelligent regarding the paranormal/UFO topic?

A recommendation from me (which you have most likely heard of) is the book that came out a few years ago by the Dutch cardiologist Pim van Lommel on NDE called Endless Consciousness.

Thanks again for your time!
Regards,
David.
