PROJECT RAINBOW
Project Rainbow was allegedly an experiment conducted upon a small destroyer escort ship during World War II, both in the Philadelphia Naval Yard and at sea; the goal was to make that ship invisible to enemy detection.

RAMEY, GENERAL ROGER
General Roger Ramey was the officer who took charge of the Roswell incident when it became apparent that the release of the 'US captures Flying Disk' had been a grave mistake. He immediately ordered the release of a second press release indicating that the debris found was that of a weather balloon, and ordered all those concerned including Jesse Marcel not to speak to reporters.

RAND CORP
THE RAND CORP. became involved and did a study, for the Base. Most of the lakes near Dulce were made, via Government grants 'for' the Indians. NAVAJO DAM is the main source for conventional electrical power, with a second source in EL VADO (also, an entrance). Note: If RAND is the mother of "THINK TANKS", then the "FORD FOUNDATION" must be considered the father. Rand secrecy is not confined to 'Reports', but on occasion extends to Conferences and Meetings. On page #645 of The PROJECT RAND, proceedings of the DEEP UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION SYMPOSIUM (March 1959) we read: "Just as airplanes, ships and automobiles have given man mastery of the surface of the Earth, Tunnel-Boring Machines... will give him access to the Subterranean World".

RANDLE, KEVIN
Kevin Randle is one of the leading UFOlogists and authors from the United States. He has written many books, most of which have related to the famous Roswell incident. He has managed to obtain new evidence in this case which has shed new light on the case, the most important being the date of the crash. Books A History Of Ufo Crashes (1995), The October Scenario: UFO Abductions and Theories about them (1988), The Truth About The Ufo Crash At Roswell (1994), The Ufo Casebook (1989), Ufo Crash At Roswell (1991)

RANDLES, JENNY
Jenny Randles is one of Britain's leading UFO researchers and Authors. She has managed, through her books, to bring the subject of UFO's in Britain to its most respected ever. Her books are clear and concise, and she doesn't need to sell her books with sensational claims. Books: Alien Contact (1982), Could Ufo's Be Real?

RE-BRID
'Hybrids' possessing no soul-matrix. Some of these MAY possess human-like genetic coding yet no 'soul' while others may be an apparent 'hybrid' of two or more reptilian species. It must be understood that the Reptilians are far more adaptable or 'mutable' than are humans, physically.

RECOVERED SPACE CRAFTS
The most known are Roswell (twice), Aztec, Mexico and Texas and some other.

REDLIGHT, PROJECT
Mention of this project has appeared in several FOIA documents and witness accounts. To date however, no documents have been released which show what this project is related to. REDLIGHT is believed to be the project to test fly recovered alien craft. It is conducted at AREA 51 (DREAMLAND) in Nevada.

It was aided when the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly them. The initial project was somewhat successful in that we flew a recovered craft but it blew up in the air and the pilots were killed. The project was suspended at that time until the aliens agreed to help us. SNOWBIRD was established as a cover for project REDLIGHT. Several flying saucer type craft were built using conventional technology. They were unveiled to the press and flown in front of the press. The purpose was to explain accidental sightings or disclosure of REDLIGHT as having been SNOWBIRD craft.

RELIGION
An alien race of "Greys" claim to have created Homo Sapiens through hybridization. The papers said the RH- blood was proof of this. They further claim to have created all our major religions. The showed a Hologram of the crucifixion of Christ which the Government filmed. They claim Jesus was created by them.

RETICULANS (ALSO SEE REPTOIDS)
Apparently a major center of 'reptiloid' activity and possibly controlled' human slaves. This is a region from where a large percentage of the 'Grey-type' saurians--such as encountered by Betty and Barney Hill and other abductees-- emanate. This binary or double-star system may be the center of interstellar 'Grey' activity just as Alpha Draconis seems to be the center of 'Reptiloid' activity and Orion being a realm where both reptilian sub-species operate in joint capacity. Much of the implant-control scenarios allegedly originated from the Reticulan 'Grey' reptiloids (Draconian).

REPTOIDS OR REPTILIANS OR DRACONIANS
They're an evil reptilian race from the star system Daco. They use implants to control the Greys, and they in turn use implants to control humans. Their own planet is dying and they need a new one and are going to invade earth with a large army in the mid 90s. They eat human as food.

REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
"Revelations of Awareness" published by Cosmic Awareness Communications (CAC). Revelations of Awareness is a Newsletter that covers UFO as they relate to channeling and the New Age movement. All the information given in the newsletter is information recorded from channeling sessions. The format of of the news letter begins with a question asked of the Cosmic Awareness, then replies are given by the Awareness through the rest of the news letter starting out with the phrase "This Awareness indicates..."

R.H.I.C.
Acronym for Radio-Hypnotic Intra-Cerebral Control

ROBERTSON PANEL, THE
The Robertson Panel also known as the Durant Report was setup in secret meetings at the Pentagon from 14-17th of January 1953. It purpose was the discussion of UFOs and what could be done about them.

The Panel consisted of the following members: Dr H.P Robertson (Chairman) - Specialty was physics and weapons systems. Dr Luis Alvarez - Physics and Radar. Dr Lloyd V. Berkner - Geophysics. Dr Samuel Goudsmit - Atomic structure and statistical problems. Dr Thornton Page - Astronomy and Astrophysics. Dr J Allen Hynek - Astronomy. Frederick C. Durant - Missiles and Rockets.

The panel basically agreed that all UFO sightings were all explainable. However, they did recommend that a policy of debunking all UFO reports be instigated, and that popular UFO groups be monitored and infiltrated.

ROSWELL AUTOPSY FILM
The footage that is claimed to be taken under the autopsy of the dead aliens from the Roswell crash.

ROSWELL CASE
In July 1947 a flying saucer crashed near Corona, New Mexico during a violent night-time thunderstorm. The next morning, Mac Brazel found some wreckage on his ranch spread over about half a mile which neither he nor his family could identify.

Three days later he took some wreckage to show to the local sheriff, George Wilcox, who in turn contacted Roswell Air Army Field and told Major Jesse Marcel of the situation. He inspected the wreckage that Mac Brazel had brought with him to the sheriffs office and then reported to his commanding officer, William Blanchard. He ordered Marcel to get someone (Sheridan Cavitt) from counter intelligence to collect as much wreckage from Brazels ranch as they could onto their two vehicles, the wreckage was then collected and flown to Washington, via Fort Worth. The next day, Marcel and Cavitt returned to Brazels ranch to collect more wreckage to take back to Roswell AAF.

Cavitt went straight there whereas Marcel stopped on the way to show his family some of the wreckage, in particular, a small piece of tin-foil like material which would bend and be folded quite happily, but would continually fold back out into shape leaving no crease whatsoever. There was also a piece of very light plastic like material, except it wasn't plastic. It was like a wooden dowel and was a couple of inches long. It would bend slightly, but you couldn't scratch, cut, burn or melt it. Meanwhile, Lydia Sleppy at Roswell Radio station KSWS was transmitting a story about the crashed saucer over the teletype when transmission was interrupted by someone claiming to represent the FBI.

The Army initially released a story to the press saying that they had captured a flying saucer, but then quickly put out another story saying they hadn't got a saucer, just a weather balloon. It was not a weather balloon. Mac Brazel was placed under house arrest for a week whilst his ranch was combed for more debris, and it was then when the main saucer body was found, complete with four aliens, two dead, one seriously injured and another attending to it which seemed to be unharmed. Mac Brazel was then told that he shouldn't tell anybody about what he had found. He was rumoured to have been bribed with a freezer (very expensive at that time).

Lyssa Royal mixes generally- accepted research techniques skills with less provable methods, such as channeling. Thus far, their research has produced two books, "The Prism of Lyra - An Exploration of Human Galactic Heritage" (130 pages) and "Visitors From Within" (171 pages). Lyssa Royal organizes and conducts weekly sessions, private consultations, and special events. "The Prism" is periodic newsletter which details news, list of recent channeling tapes, books, etc.

RUDLOE MANOR
Rudloe Manor in Wiltshire, England was the RAF's location for top secret research into UFO's. Rudloe Manor is officially listed as headquarters of RAF Support Command, as well as the headquarters of the Provost and Security Services. The Provost and Security Services is the branch of the RAF that investigates breaches of security in addition to regular policing duties. The UFO research center has apparently around 30 personnel and is manned permanently. It also allegedly acts as radar tracking station which monitors UFO.

RUPPELT, CAPTAIN EDWARD
Edward Ruppelt was an engineer with the Northrup Aircraft Corporation when he released The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects in 1956. This book was to be one of the most influential volumes produced in the 1950s and is still quoted today. During World War II Ruppelt was a bombadier with the very first B-29 wing and served both in China and in the South Pacific.

When the war ended Ruppelt went to college and was still in attendance there when the Korean War started in 1950. At the end of that year he was called up to active duty and sent to the Air Technical Intelligence Corps (ATIC) based at Wright Field near Dayton, Ohio. He arrived in January of 1951 with the rank of Captain. His stay in the Air Force was to last 33 months.

In September of 1951 he was put "in charge" of the "flying saucer group" at ATIC, then called GRUDGE. Also working on UFOs at that time was the Air Materiel Command (AMC). Ruppelt stayed with Grudge throughout the rest of 1951 and remained on board when it became Blue Book in 1952. He was the man in the middle during the great Washington, D.C., flap of July, 1952 and saw what the Robertson Committee did to the UFO and the Air Force in 1953.

SAGAN, CARL
An American who brought science to the public. He is also a major UFO skeptic believing that no UFO can cross light years of distance due to the large amount of fuel and time needed. This theory assumes that the only method of travel is linear and that the maximum speed of any vehicle must be the speed of light. ROBERT LAZAR has since claimed that an alternative method of travel using gravity waves is what is being used to drive the UFOs.

SANDIA LABS
Sandia Base which is now controlled by Kirtland AFB has been long associated with the Roswell Case. In 1947 Sandia was under the direction of the Los Alamos National Laboratory . It was claimed by several witnesses that military personnel involved in the retrieval operations had Sandia logos on their uniform.

SARBACHER, ROBERT
Dr Robert Sarbacher was a consultant to the Research and Development Board. In an alleged conversation with Wilbert Smith, Smith recorded the following:

SMITH: ...I have read Scully's book on the saucers and would like to know how much of it is true.

SARBACHER: The facts reported in the book are substantially correct.

SMITH: Then the saucers do exist ?

SARBACHER: Yes: they exist.

SMITH: Do they operate as Scully suggests on magnetic principles?

SARBACHER: We have not been able to duplicate their performance.

SMITH: Do they come from some other planet?

SARBACHER: All we know is, we didn't make them, and it's pretty certain they didn't originate on Earth.

SMITH: I understand the whole subject is classified.

SARBACHER: Yes, it is classified two points higher even than the H-bomb. In fact it is the most highly classified subject in the US Government at the present time.

SMITH: May I ask the reason for the classification ?

SARBACHER: You may ask, but I can't tell you. He died in 1986

SASQUATCH
Large, hairy 'humanoids' who are usually troglodytial or cavern-dwellers, although they have been known to forage through mountainous or wooded areas on the surface in search for roots, berries, grasses and nuts which make up their diet. They are believed to possess a heightened 'sensing' ability which allows them to steer clear of 'human' influence. They are more human than animal according to some reports although they have often been mistaken for animals, which has forced them to take up a largely subterran lifestyle.

SCULLY, FRANK
American columnist who first suggested to the world that recovered flying disks and little men were in the possession of the US. In his book, 'Behind the Flying Saucers', published in 1950, Scully claimed that up to that time there had been four such recoveries. These stories have since proved very unreliable as no supporting evidence has been uncovered and various 'sources' of Scully seem dubious. Books: Behind The Flying Saucers (1950)

SEA SHADOW
Stealth battle cruiser constructed at Hughes Mining Barge mobile dock. It's been active since 1983.

SEARL EFFECT GENERATOR
John Roy Robert Searl through dreams as a child developed the SEG. An SEG consists of a series of three rings and rollers that go around those rings. The first ring contains twelve rollers, this amount is the same as having a twelve-cycle or twelve-phase linear motor. A linear motor will not operate on less than twelve phases. There are many other correlations you can make, but this is working along with the laws of Nature. There are twelve plates on the surface of the earth, and twelve months of the year. There can be more than twelve rollers, but no less.

This configuration will allow the rollers to never touch any other surface permitting them to spin faster causing a magnetic field that is reported to be sufficient for anti-gravity

SERPENTS
These are literally 'giant snakes' which have been encountered in various underground regions. They are often apparently used by the Draconians as 'sentries' to guard subterranean tunnels or 'treasure' repositories. They have been known to easily crush a human being or other objects with their teeth or their bodies (Draconian).

SETI
Acronym for The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. This is a US government-funded project that monitors electromagnetic wave emissions from space. These emissions, it is claimed, will be the communications between various UFOs that "leak" out, just like TV pictures from a transmitter are able to be picked up from space (in theory). If they detect any abnormal emissions, they will investigate them further to try and find out where they originate from.

UFO researchers are very skeptical of this project, saying it is just a front put up to try and publicly "prove" that UFOs don't exist since they don't expect to find any emissions that cannot be identified. According to an article by Dr. Pierre Guerin in "FLYING SAUCER REVIEW", the government already knows that aliens exist and that they are co-operating with them and that they know that the aliens don't use electromagnetic waves at all. It would be similar to trying to detect Indian smoke signals using a radio receiver.

SIGMA, PROJECT
An ongoing 1954 Top Secret project that looked into how to communicate with aliens. That projects existence was revealed in the PROJECT AQUARIUS Briefing Document and is said to have succeeded in 1964 when a USAF intelligence officer met two other aliens at a prearranged location in a desert in New Mexico. However, there is a "Project Sigma" listed in the 1986 Defense Marketing Services Code Name Directory as a "Top Secret Air Force program involving Rockwell International" and has been officially identified as a laser weapons project.

SILVER SPRING
Silver Spring, Maryland, is the home of Madeleine Rodeffer, who in February 1965 along with George Adamski filmed the arrival, landing and subsequent departure of one of George Adamski's famous UFOs. Madeleine sent the film to be developed, but on its return they noticed that the film had been tampered with, because various shots of the craft had been replaced by very bad 'hoaxed' frames which was added to try and prove the film and its contents to be totally bogus.

Of the frames that remained, they were examined and were said to be film depicting actual objects. These objects were calculated to be 27ft in diameter. On 27th February 1967 the film was shown to 22 NASA officials at Goddard Space Flight Center. One of the NASA men claimed that it was a 'very important piece of film and depicted a craft of 27ft'. The results of the film examination were not released at this time so this seems to be a strange coincidence or confirmation that the film showed a real craft.

SIRIANS
Sirius is the apparent epicenter of the ASHTAR or ASTARTE collective, where humanoids of various types, Sasquatch, Reptiloids, Greys, Insectoids and Reptilian-Insectoid hybrid species as well as cybernetic "MIB" entities have collaborated in the past. The Sirians have waged war in the past with the Orion Empire or the "Unholy Six" reptilian star systems in the Orion open cluster. The ancient dispute involves just who will serve as the "landlords" of a sector of space containing 21 star systems including the most strategic star system, SOL and particularly planet Earth, Terra

SIRIAN CIVILIZATION
Sirius, being a primary star, in some ways a dimensional doorway for a lot of consciousness, is very diverse. So we would like to make it known here that the Sirians of which we speak are the Sirians of your history, the Sirians who were part of your genetic project on Earth.

There are so many Sirians on many different levels (mostly existing in the Light realms) that we don't want you to get confused with what we are talking about - those who were part of the genetic creation on Earth of Homo sapiens. This Sirian race we are talking about - we'll call them the Sirian gods - stemmed from Vega. So the primary genetics of Sirius is a Vegan stock - darker skin, but anywhere from very light brown to very dark brown.

They have a lot of the Vegan qualities, including the very pro-nounced eyes, the large, slightly angled eyes. The particular Sirian gods who had interacted with your planet, having spent a lot of time with the Lyrans who were also part of the genetic project, had done some interbreeding themselves. So these Sirian gods began through time to take on a lot of qualities of the Lyrans. Some began to have lighter skin, some began to be more diverse in their genetic makeup. It got to the point where the interbreeding between the Lyrans and the Sirians was so mixed that the only way to denote a Sirian would be through their belief structure rather than their physical appearance.

Since our focus right now is not the genetic project on Earth, we will be very brief with this. (There are tapes available that can give the fuller story.) The ultimate attempt was to join the royal houses of Sirius and Lyra. Throughout time on your planet, since the prototypes of Adam and Eve were created, this attempt has been made with the belief that a more advanced type of human being could be created. This is still going on; it's not so much now the physical attributes attempting an integration but rather the belief structures themselves.

Established to serve as a tracking system for UFO reports in the Los Angeles, California area. Its original purpose was to receive UFO reports at the time that witnesses were viewing the objects, thus centering their efforts on real-time viewing, photographing, monitoring, rather than relying on after-the-fact analysis.

Upon joining, members agree to contact other SKYNET members whenever an unusual sighting is occurring for members to view, photograph and monitor the object in real-time while not having to wait for an after-the-fact presentation. This contacting of other SKYnet members that a sighting is occurring is the only obligation of members. All calls from the public receive an in-depth phone interview by an assigned SKYNET official and if warranted, further field investigations are conducted.

A tax-exempt group that investigates various anomalies, including UFOs. Although its president Professor Peter Sturrock of Stanford University, all contact with SSE should be made through Laurence W. Fredrick.

The goal of the SSE is to gain further understanding of anomalous phenomena (including UFOs) and to share this knowledge with the public. The Society considers anomalous phenomena to be incidents that appear to contradict existing scientific knowledge; regarded by the scientific community as being outside their established fields of inquiry.

They use the "Journal of Scientific Exploration" as an avenue to discussanomalous phenomena and present research results to the scientific and scholarly community; its members are drawn from practitioners of science who have acquired a first-hand knowledge and understanding of the scientific process. The Society holds annual international meetings and periodically scheduled regional meetings.

To promote co-operation, and to accommodate other levels of activity and interest, the Society has created the categories of "Corresponding Member" and "Associate". "Associates" receive the "Journal of Scientific Exploration" (two issues a year) and "The Explorer" (two issues a year).

SOCORRO, NM. / ZAMORA UFO INCIDENT - 1964
The experience of Lonnie Zamora on April 24, 1964 stands as one of the most profound ufo events in the modern history of the phenomena. To this day it remains a case in which all the facts involved support the witnesses claims and it is this kind of case that makes the ufo phenomenon such an enduring mystery.

Lonnie Zamora saw a highly unusual device of unknown origin, what can only be described as a "craft" of some kind, and he reported seeing what he believes were occupants. Despite the controversy which often surrounds the subject of UFOs, the incident at Socorro remains an example of what the UFO phenomenon is, in fact, all about.

STRINGFIELD, LEONARD
Leonard Stringfield was the pioneer of American UFOlogy who brought the subject of UFO retrievals (a term he 'invented') into the mainstream of UFOology. Retrievals stories up to then had been the realm of 'crackpots' and associated with the dubious claims of the 1950s Contactees. He devoted much of his time to investigating these retrieval cases. Books: The Ufo Crash-Retrieval Syndrome: Status Report Ii: New Sources (1980), The Ufo Crash/Retrievals: Amassing The Evidence - Status Report Iii (1982).

SUBTERRENE, THE
The Los Alamos nuclear-powered tunnel machine that burrows through the rock, deep underground, by heating whatever stone it encounters into molten rock (magma), which cools after the SUBTERRENE has moved on. These underground tubes are used by electro-magnetically powered "Subshuttle Vehicles", which can travel at great speeds. They connect the "Hidden Empire" Sub-City Complexes. Also, the top-secret project code-named: "NOAH's ARK", uses "TUBE-SHUTTLES" in connection with a system of over 100 'Bunkers' and 'Bolt Holes' which have been established at various places on Earth.

SYNTHETICS
Of several different types and varieties. Although reptilians AND humans apparently utilize 'artificial intelligence' devices or organisms (technology itself being amoral, neither good nor evil), the Draconians as well as some 'controlled' humans have apparently developed bio-synthetic or mechanical 'entities' as EXTENSIONS of their activities. This is especially true with the bio-synthetic cybernetic creatures which the 'reptilians' have allegedly 'created' using cybernetics and biological organs stolen from animal and human mutilation victims. The synthetics are of many types, some of which are very 'human-like' and which may be used as 'infiltrators'.
