- ROCKEFELLER TO SEND UFO BRIEFING TO MANY WORLD LEADERS 01/01/96
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ISCNI*Flash thanks Brian Zeiler and Rebecca Schatte for assistance with this
- story.]
-
- The New York Daily News of December 18 ran a brief story claiming that
- billionaire Laurance Rockefeller had funded and would send a major UFO report
- to President Clinton and other world leaders. The Daily News story, part of
- a column written by George Rush and Joanna Molloy, was headlined "Far Out" and
- said, in part:
-
- "Laurance Rockefeller...the 85-year-old philanthropist has funded a 150-page
- study of 'the Roswell Incident.' This month, he's due to send it to White
- House Science adviser John Gibbons, as well as every U.S. congressman and
- senator.
-
- "'The Best Available Evidence' features testimony from former military
- officials and astronauts that contradicts Air Force denials of an alien
- landing, says Michael Luckman, director of the New York Center for UFO
- Research."
-
- CNI News has received further information about the Rockefeller UFO initiative
- from a reliable source who worked on the project. According to this source,
- the Daily News story was "planted" by Michael Luckman, who works mainly as a
- press agent and trades odd stories for regular mention of his show-business
- clients in the Daily News column.
-
- In a faxed message to CNI News, our source said there were many inaccuracies in
- Luckman's version of the story. He further states:
-
- "There is no Roswell study done or contemplated by the Rockefeller group. There
- is a book, actually an extended briefing paper, that will be back from the
- printers any day, containing about a dozen UFO cases thought to be the best,
- with some emphasis on the worldwide nature of the events. This will be sent to
- heads of state and a handful of members of congress and the senate, certainly
- not all. Only 1,000 copies of the book are being printed.
-
- "The concept is to alert leaders of government throughout the world of the
- nature and perhaps urgency of the UFO problem. This is in keeping with what
- Laurance Rockefeller and the BSW Foundation in New York have been doing for
- about two years, quietly. I don't think they appreciate the publicity."
-
- In a followup conversation with CNI News editor Michael Lindemann, the source
- declined to comment further on the project except to say that he had worked
- with the Rockefeller group for about one year and had reviewed the manuscript
- in question.
-
- In recent years, Laurance Rockefeller has given substantial financial support
- to a number of prominent UFO/alien researchers, including Dr. John Mack and Dr.
- Steven Greer. He has also urged President Clinton to acknowledge the reality
- of UFOs, both indirectly through Clinton's science advisor John Gibbons, and
- directly, especially recently when Rockefeller hosted the president at his
- ranch in Wyoming.
-
- Some of Rockefeller's UFO-related activities have been conducted in cooperation
- with the low-profile BSW Foundation, headed by wealthy New Yorkers Sandra
- Wright Houghton and Bootsy Galbraith. Rockefeller's latest initiative, the UFO
- briefing report, is expected to reflect the view shared by himself, Greer,
- Houghton and Galbraith that the earth is being visited primarily by benevolent
- E.T.s who pose no threat to the established order.
