The misinformation conspiracy

From our former intelligence misinformation agent :

For a number of years I was employed with the intelligence service of a European country to create media engagement in specific esoteric subjects particularly UFO, paranormal phenomena, alternative therapies and conspiracy theories. In the execution of my duties I investigated and researched a number of stories, embellished and adapted them, and fed them to media contacts. I also arranged for “witnesses” to be interviewed. In over 10 years in this role I did not feed a single genuine story to my media contacts, the role requiring the dissemination of lies to distract attention from genuinely unexplained phenomena. In order to be certain that the information that was passed on was credible yet not accurate it was essential that I had access to all genuine investigations. In order to allow this I was granted DV level clearance and was considered to be seconded to military intelligence whilst being employed as a civil servant in the Home Office.

Through my own investigations and research I discovered that the reports available to the media and public, including the “secret” documents released by the government, were limited to events that had already been fully explained. In this way the government retained the option at any point to completely debunk any conspiracy theory based on this evidence. This is a planned option with a timescale of 2015. This is not to say that all reports are explained. There are a number of unexplained reports that have not, and will not be released. Included in these are reports of sightings of a UFO over large parts of the West Wales coast in March 2011. The UFO was seen to rise out of the sea off the coast in the area around Cardigan Bay, the object being estimated at 250mtrs in diameter, spherical in shape and emitting a low hum. It rose from the sea at 4.23am sighted and reported to the local police station by two holidaymakers who had been stargazing from their beach front holiday home.

They observed the sphere for over 30 minutes as it tracked inland at a speed not exceeding 50 mph before passing out of site behind hills behind the town. Further reports were received from three farmers along the route the sphere took, as well as two local police officers who responded to the report. A report was also made to the local newspaper. To give an example of the way in which the intelligence community operates, within 45 minutes of the initial report contact had been made by the UK security agency to the local police arranging for all subsequent reports to be treated as secret, eyes only. Contact was also made with the local media and a D notice enforced. With 55 minutes minutes visual contact was made with the object by two helicopters from the nearest military base, a former weapons evaluation station along the coast now run by Qinetic. The helicopters observed the sphere for a total of 86 minutes from a range of 300 mtrs before the craft accelerated vertically and disappeared. Reports from the helicopter pilots were made directly to UK intelligence.

Within 2 hours of the initial sighting all members of the public and local law enforcement had been contacted and given an acceptable response, and no further action was expected. Further investigation by UK intelligence confirmed the sighting as an unknown of non-terrestrial origin. The sightings and reports were not reported by any news agency, and no further action was taken by local police. In this way a genuine sighting was blocked. The cover story was of the launch of an atmospheric condition monitoring balloon from an offshore weather station, and this story was accepted by witnesses. This is a similar scenario to several other sighting across the UK and Europe which have been considered to have defence significance within national and international military communities.

There is little doubt that there are genuine cases of unexplained phenomena, but that these are considered national and international security sensitive and as a consequence are routinely covered up. The truth is indeed out there, but it will never be released.
