For the first time, the Russians have linked their opposition
to Star Wars with UFOs, saying that they are worried that UFOs
could accidentally trigger a nuclear war between the United States
and the Soviet Union.
In an extraordinary article titled "UFOs and Security,"published
in the official Soviet Military Review, the Russians expressed
concern that the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)computers
might mistakenly order that UFOs be fired upon, thinking they
were enemy missiles or launch an unprovoked counter attack against
the Soviet Union.
The magazine reported that the USSR Academy of Sciences hasbeen
unable to find prosaic explanation for "tens of thousands
of UFOs" that have been seen over Russia. Three hundred
Sovietscientists and other experts met in Tomsk last year to
consider the UFO phenomenon.
Michael C. Luckman, Director of the New York Center for UFO
Research (NYCUFOR) called the Russian statement on UFOs and security
"an extraordinary admission that UFOs are real."Luckman
urged the United Nations to "take appropriate action to
inform the people of the world about UFOs that are visiting Earth
and their possible impact on all mankind."
"Not only are UFOs real," said Luckman, "but
according to Senator Barry Goldwater they are classified 'Above
Top Secret.'We have 10,000 pages of official documents declassified
by the United States government and released under the Freedom
of Information Act, that clearly show that UFOs exist, that they
are operated under intelligent control, and that they are taken
very seriously by this and other great nations of the world."
Luckman emphasized that "There is no reason to believe
thatextraterrestrials pose any threat whatsoever to the human
race."
President Ronald Reagan publicly stated on three separate
occasions that "If the Earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials,
the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel
such an invasion." (Dec. 4, 1985, Fallston High School,
Maryland; September 17, 1987, opening of the 42nd session of
the United Nations; and May 4, 1988, the National Strategy Forum,
Chicago). Addressing officials in Russia on February 16, 1987,
Mikhail Gorbachev disclosed that Reagan had raised the issue
of a possible extraterrestrial invasion of Earth during the Geneva
Summit on November 18-20. "I shall not dispute the hypothesis,"
said Gorbachev, "though I think it's early yet to worry
about such an intrusion."
Major Ret. Colman VonKeviczky, Director of ICUFON, a leading
American research organization, is the man who sparked Russian
action on the Star Wars-UFO issue. Major Von Keviczky, who servedin
the Royal Hungarian Army, has personally discussed the issue
with military officials in Denmark, France, Switzerland, Sweden,Austria,
Hungary and Spain.
Major VonKeviczky played a major role in laying thegroundwork
for the matter of UFOs and international security to be brought
before the Special Political Committee of the UnitedNations General
Assembly on November 27, 1978.
Among the documents that Major Von Keviczky has uncovered
is a treaty agreement between the United States and the Soviet
Union signed on September 30, 1971. The treaty provides that
each party notify the other "immediately in the event of
detection by missile warning systems of unidentified objects
or in the eventof signs of interference with these systems or
with related communications facilities, if such occurrences could
create a risk of outbreak of nuclear war between the two countries."
Antonio Huneeus, an international science writer and LatinAmerican
Continental Coordinator for the Mutual UFO Network(MUFON), said,
"It is remarkable that while the American Academy of Sciences
is still quoting their 1969 endorsement of the controversial
Condon Report on UFOs, their Soviet counterpart seems to be way
ahead in pursuing research of this important contemporary phenomenon."
Luckman and Major VonKeviczky will discuss the UFO-Star Warsissue
as it pertains to the United States and Russia at the Whole Life
Expo on October 6 and 7 at the New York Penta Hotel in Manhattan.
Von Keviczky and Huneeus are scheduled to address an international
UFO conference called "Dialogue With the Universe,"to
be held from October 26 to 29 in Frankfurt, West Germany. Source:
