YAHOO NEWS THANKS TO

Are you fascinated by conspiracies? If this is your case, you know that there are few things as frustrating as seeing that the reason for your sleepless nights, the elusive goal that ignites your desire to believe in conspiracies, leaving the agenda of the "forbidden topics." As the plots are fascinating, there is no compromise more boring than one where the labyrinth of the plot takes you right to a certain degree of certainty and this is because the certainty is the enemy of conspiracy theory. This preamble comes about because the FBI recently issued more than 2,000 documents, some of them secret until recently and more or less known, but they first appear on the website of the institution so dear to fans of the television series X -Files.

a body, commonly associated with unexplained cases suspected of hiding, show to the public until yesterday confidential material, unleash mixed reactions among fans of the paranormal. Are convinced that "the above" never tell the awful truth (the terror in all its forms and truth retracted by the most various reasons). Others believe that agencies like the CIA or FBI do well preserve society in issues that can affect the "national security" and are people they know or assume the high levels of bureaucracy, inefficiency and, why not, ignorance capea formal institutions do not expect anything extraordinary of them.

The first question to answer is: there is some interest in that pile of paper you just scanned to reveal the FBI?

The new section of the FBI page called The Vault (The Vault or The Vault) there are 25 items that contain facsimiles of flying saucers, as he was called to UFOs when the myth began in June 1947. There are other things in this mixed bag. For example, declassified documents on figures as diverse as Elvis Presley, Al Capone, Carl Sagan, Charles Manson and Osama bin Laden. Unexplained Phenomena in the category the FBI presents material on the famous Roswell incident (the place where it was reported the fall of a "flying disk" in the field of farmer William Mac Brazel, in early July 1947), 19 leaves on a wave of cattle mutilations in the U.S. in 1975 and a dossier of 40 pages devoted to experiments on extrasensory perception, among other things.

The document hosted at The Vault which is postulated as the big news is a two-page letter written by one Guy Hottel. It is, to speak precisely, a memo J. Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI about life. Hottel writes:

"A researcher from the Air Force stated that three of the so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. The description states that are circular with a rise in its center and a diameter of about 15 meters. Each of the objects was occupied by three humanoid bodies of only 1 meter in height, dressed in a fine-grained metallic material. The bodies were blindfolded in the style of uniforms for test pilots who are at high speeds. "

According to the informant Hottel (his name is crossed out), the three dishes were found in New Mexico "because there the government has a configuration of high-powered radar that is believed might interfere with the navigation mechanism of the flying saucers."

The final sentence is perhaps the most significant: "The above information was not evaluated later by the informant." That is, the version of those nine bodies (three in each house) was an anecdote that did not receive any attempt to corroborate, but now charges just because Hottel magnitude decided to forward this commentary, a mere rumor, the head of the FBI.


Who was Guy Hottel? Apparently, was a special agent in charge of field investigations for the FBI office in Washington. According to historian Jessica Wang, did intelligence work on nuclear scientists and engineers since 1946. In his book American Science in an Age of Anxiety: Scientists, Anticommunism, and the Cold War (American Science in the Age of Anxiety, Scientists, anticommunism and the Cold War, 1999) Hottel is cited 11 times.

But why Hottel waited three years to inform the director of the FBI that "something weird" had happened in New Mexico? Perhaps because he was not referring to Roswell. In 1998, Dave Thomas, a researcher at Case Roswell, had discovered the source of the rumor reached the ears of the author of that document, two swindlers who had played havoc with the University of Denver.

film is a story: Beginning in 1950, Professor Francis F. Broman cited two people (on them without knowing their background) to give a lecture. They did not know they were guinea pigs: their students then they would rate their reliability. But it was the teacher who was mocked, Silas M. Newton and Leo A. Gebauer, as they called the lecturers, said that in March 1948 the U.S. Air Force had captured three alien spacecraft and the bodies of 34 aliens near Aztec, New Mexico. The creatures, said at the conference, had died charred and were identical to humans except for one thing: their teeth were perfect. Professor Borman shot it backfired because it helped give academic status version: the revelations had been made in the context of a university. And that greatly facilitated the movement of the story.

entertainment reporter Frank Scully, a personal friend of Silas Newton was the one who made the best juice. He picked up the story in his book Behind the Flying Saucers (Behind the flying saucers, 1950) and at least two years sold 60,000 copies. Thus, in the phony baloney two, was born on first best-seller in the history of ufology.

In 1952, Newton and Gebauer deception was exposed by reporter JP Cahn.

In late 1952, Newton and Gebauer (in Scully's book appears as "Dr. Gee") were convicted of swindling $ 230,000 from a man who sold a device, they said, allowed detection oilfields. They had also "tweaked" their resumes and cited evidence and witnesses who never appeared. The dubious reputation both ended up plunging the Scully and still spinning their tales followed for many years. He notes

Dave Thomas that the special agent version Hottel contains several errors, which is understandable since the chain of gossip had eight intermediaries. One of the most disturbing figures in this broken phone was the mysterious "Dr. Gee", whom the FBI has the journalist Nick Redfern - has a record of 398 pages which shakes its different personalities, their inventions as a specialist in geomagnetic adventures in rescue of alien artifacts along with Newton and his admiration for Adolph Hitler.

The antics of this pair dislocated were known before 1952, had enough to know that two FBI agents witnessing the conference that took place in Denver before More than 350 students.

One of the unsung heroes behind this story was John P. Cahn (1919-2004), journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Between 1952 and 1953 Cahn tracked the case to expose the dark handbook of Scully's informants, perhaps one of the great architects of the myth of flying saucers injured.

So, the FBI touted record offers no great revelations. Now, why the FBI reports that until recently, "nobody could know"? Here are the options:

1) in response to specific demand, as supported by the FBI when he says that this documentation released in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

2) to make publicly available material harmless, a "distraction" to protect "hot stuff" in a gesture that takes away from the meddling of "the hidden truth, much more important that" these vile papers irrelevant. "

anyone adheres to the latter? Everyone is free to choose the option that seems. But most likely, this is in response to an ancestral instinct.


Conspiracy Theories emerge by the anxiety of finding order in chaos, you discover the hidden meaning of stories where maybe it's all in sight. "That all seems loose ends of history," writes cultural critic Mark Dery - are woven into a dark cosmic web. " Not only because the truth is out there, also broke out: "The Conspiracy Theory is both a symptom of millennial angst and a home remedy against it. It is an ectoplasmic manifestation of our loss of faith in the authorities of all kinds. " It is also a magic spell against that which abounds in the Age of Information: Data. Parts of what we call reality that are so hard to fit.

And when the intrigues paranormal join the Conspiracy Theory, the result must be the hunger and appetite. The mystery deepens when no one else can see, is like a monster without a form that grows in the dark. What authorities claim? "Caring for mass panic? "To preserve vested interests? Is it true that the U.S. military signed an agreement with the Greys to exchange technologies and ensure the leadership of the only superpower? (Which no one will laugh, this question is part of UFO folklore.)

In any case, there seems no greater antidote to ward off the cult of secrecy that open the locks and could crank that which is given by muted. The riddle seems more credible when it remains on the other side of the curtain.

Moreover, the fame of some conspiracies do not let it stand the guardians of the secret.
