William Cooper
Known as Bill Cooper, he seems recently to have gone a bit mad ! and is no longer
respected by the majority of the UFO Community.
Previously he worked for the US Air Force and claims to have then moved on
into Naval Intelligence.
He started with a report on a UFO sighting he had whilst on the USS Tiru, a US Naval
submarine. He then began to send in details about various secret projects that
he alleged the US governments were involved in during his time in intelligence.
When asked for evidence to back his claims up by UFO researchers, he replied
abusively. His reports continued to be sent in and the researchers still
questioned him about backup evidence.
Eventually he was barred from Paranet. He still wrote the reports and sent
them into various bulletin boards anonymously, this time accusing the
UFO researchers that questioned his authenticity as people who are working
for the government to spread DISINFORMATION to the public.
Bill Cooper is now a highly paid lecturer who lectures about his
"experiences" and also claims that JFK was assassinated by the driver of
the car because he wanted to make details about UFOs public and that we had
bases on the Moon and on Mars built in the 1950's.
Evidence : none for the bases and a seventh generation copy of the film
showing the assassination that is very bad quality.
He also claims that the aliens in US TV series "Alien Nation" are
real aliens who were employed as part of an indoctrination program so
that the public will accept the reality of aliens more easily.
Bill Cooper's sources for his hypothesis is a mixture of the claims of
PAUL BENNEWITZ, BILL MOORE, JOHN LEAR and BOB LAZAR and added a few
unfounded theories he invented himself.
When Bob Lazar was on a phone-in in 1989 ("Billy Goodman's Happening", 21/11/89)
whilst he was going public, Cooper called in and said that he had talked
to Lazar for over a year and that he had checked out his claims and
they are all genuine. Then, some months later, Cooper changed his mind
and says that Lazar is a fraud and had always known he was a fraud
ever since he first went public.
This is just one example of the many U-turns and inconsistencies that
Cooper has carried out over the years.
