Coming of Age in the Secret Space Race

UFO’s are one of those things; those things people always latch onto. They are prolithic in science fiction and once people learn of my interest, always a topic of conversations at parties. I saw a light in the sky, or this funky triangle flew over my head. My life is bereft with these statements, but in the annals of conspiracy research UFOs are also a high debated topic.

Like many I started out as a firm believer in the alien hypothesis, meaning that I believed all those triangles and funky lights in the sky were alien in origin, but what if they weren’t? It’s a question, which has vexed me for the last decade because in time I started to believe, at least a percentage might not be. Now in some circles that is a heretical statement, but a statement I believe to be true never the less.

For me it started many years ago in my journey. I had been gifted a 10th generation VHS copy of the long sought after “Science Report: Alternative Three.” Back then it was a kitschy 1970’s era conspiracy mockumentry shown on East Anglia TV back in 1977. But as time went on and I started to really watch it something dawned on me, maybe it was fundamentally true? Maybe some, but not all, UFO’s were not alien in origin but instead man made. But for what purpose, and that was the question, which launched the decent into, where I find myself now.

Space is a funny thing, they call it the high frontier and like many I had dreams of space shuttles going to the moon eagerly anticipating taking my seat on a Pan-Am shuttle to a space station and scooting across the surface much as Haywood Floyd did in Kubrick’s amazing, and conspiratorially controversial, 2001: A Space Odyssey. A say conspiratorially because that film like so many has played a part in this new secret space age.

So what is knocking around in the high frontier, and what does it have to do with movies or the enigmatic Alternative Three?

Sometime in the late 1990’s rumors started to emerge of a secret program, utilizing high technology to conquer space and possibly other planets. A secret space force, replete with high tech vehicles regularly leaving the planet for parts unknown. It was the age of the SERPO question, the idea that military personnel were being assigned to an exchange program with aliens and while the fascination of SERPO died away, rumors emerged that it might have been a hoax. The hoax labeled killed investigation into SERPO, but what if SERPO might actually have been real?

Then in 2002 a lowly systems administrator from Scotland, utilizing only a 56k modem cracked the question wide open. His name was Gary McKinnon and what he found was so amazing that it caused the full wait of the United States government to come after him.

McKinnon was accused, and did, hack into a series military and NASA computers but it wasn’t the hacking that makes his story interesting. Its what he found. McKinnon claims to have found references to a program called Solar Warden, which was nothing less then a secret space fleet darting around the space above us and more he claims to have found manifests and crew transfer notices for a series of ships and installations which don’t exist here on Earth.

Solar Warden had entered our psyche and popular culture. Researchers rushed out to discover more about Solar Warden and discovered that a program under SDI had existed called Solar Warden. In fact an enterprising journalist from the Huffington Post filed a freedom of information act request and received a very interesting response.
