THE HORRIFYING TRUE STORY OF A GOVERNMENT-AUTHORIZED CAMPAIGN OF
DISINFORMATION THAT DEFINED AN ERA OF ALIEN PARANOIA AND DESTROYED
ONE MAN'S LIFE.
In 1978, Paul Bennewitz, an electrical physicist living in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, engaged in some aggressive radio
monitoring of the nearby Sandia Labs, then managed by the
Department of Defense. When he became convinced that the strange
lights hovering over the labs and Kirtland Air Force Base signaled
the vanguard of an extraterrestrial alien invasion, he began
writing TV stations, newspapers, senators -- and even President
Reagan -- to alert them.
For the most part Bennewitz received form-letter replies, but
Air Force investigators paid him a visit, as did Bill Moore, author
of the first book on the Roswell incident. Before long Moore --
then a new force in civilian UFO research -- was tapped by a group
of intelligence agents and a deal was struck: Moore was to keep
tabs on Bennewitz while the Air Force ran a psychological profile
and disinformation campaign on the unsuspecting physicist. In
return, Air Force Intelligence would let Moore in on classified UFO
material.
This is Bennewitz's harrowing tale, told by fringe-culture
historian Greg Bishop. It is the troubling account of the
custom-made hall of smoke and mirrors that eventually drove
Bennewitz to a mental institution, as well as the story of the
explosive propagation of disinformation that began in 1979 and
reverberates through the UFO community and pop culture to this
day.
