Gary Bekkum of Starstream Research responds to our last update somewhat heatedly at his blog, calling it “naive” to think that the CIA would not know what it is that they were allowing into the government’s scientific domain. Gary writes:
“REALITY UNCOVERED’s Ryan Dube latest blog post suggests the story behind the AVIARY “Core Story” of US government contact with an intelligence not of this Earth begins with L. Ron Hubbard and the inner teachings of Scientology.”
He goes on to imply that the focus of RU is Scientology, and that we’re drawing some kind of direct connection between Scientology and the “Core Story.” Even though the article did nothing of the sort. The intent was to point out what religious-like beliefs can do to destroy a scientific study.
He continues:
“Dube appears so focused on the connection of key researchers at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) to Scientology that he completely overlooks the game of ‘psychic (cold) warfare’ CIA and KGB initiated at least ten or more years prior to the effort at SRI.”
In fact, the reason we overlook the cold war antics between the CIA and KGB is because they do not factor into the Core Story. To be clear, there is virtually nothing within government or military that factors into the Core Story. Nothing, except what the creators decided to filter into it from their own experiences during their time working within those (now declassified) projects. But those connections are superficial at best.
In response, I’ve sent Gary an email trying to clarify what the message of the last article really was. In that email, I wrote:
“Thanks for your comments Gary – I’ve responded as well. Based on your opening paragraph you may have misunderstood the article.
The point wasn’t that the source of the “core story” was Scientology…I think a few of us here would agree that theory was put to bed a long time ago.
The *only* point of the post was that by allowing a religious belief system into a government research program, the government inadvertently introduced into the government scientific community a dangerous instability. Vallee has noted in his book “Messengers of Deception,” what this instability can do within the general population – it leads to cults. I’m simply drawing the same sort of parallel to what the government experienced within the Remote Viewing program from the 1970’s through the early 90’s.
What I find fascinating is the point where the military RV’ers – the guys who believed it was important to adhere to the “strict” documented protocols, and guys like Dale Graff who thought it was perfectly okay to allow civilian practitioners of tarot cards, meditation, and various other techniques. Any insight into those disagreements would be very useful – if you have any documentation on that. Dale seemed to greatly despise Ed Dames by the way…
Again – these are the sort of things one can expect from spiritual/religious based belief system being used as the foundation for a scientific study.
Best Regards,

Gary asked me to post my comments, so in the spirit of openness, I’ve posted the email here just in case there were any other readers out there who may not have clearly understood our position on this.
Just remember – the Core Story was created by civilians, not government officials or military insiders. It is based on a religious-like belief system founded on the interpretation of data that these particular folks consider “hard data,” but which others might not. Instead of sharing the hard data with us, we get the ridiculous public version of the Core Story – which has morphed through the decades into the pathetic beast that we see today.
Given the clear indications that something was going on at Wright Air Force Base during the late 1970s, possibly in parallel with either the FTD remote viewing work, the Project Blue Book activities, or both (or neither). One thing that the timeline and the appearance of that common MJ-12 "philosophy" tells us is that all of those stories were created much earlier than when the public first received them through Ufologists Moore, Pratt and others. 
Prior to my discussions with him, Dale Graff had just recently moved, so it took a few email exchanges to hammer out a good day and time for a conversation. However, Dale responded positively to my initial inquiry for a phone interview to discuss his remote viewing work at FTD in the 1970’s and his 
According to the publication, "An Estimate of the Situation: The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis," presented at the 2007 MUFON International UFO Symposium, allegedly an AF Colonel (possibly former) and Rick Doty contacted Moore initially in September of 1980. Taking this date into consideration, it’s important to dig further back into the ongoing activities of these individuals prior to 1980, before they started interfacing more often with UFO researchers. The important clues in tracing back the activities of Rick Doty and any other individuals involved in the MJ12 scam include following where same philosophy might have showed up prior to making its appearance in the materials passed to Pratt, Moore, Howe, and so many other researchers after 1979/1980.
In the first part of the interview, Kellerstrass describes his only two eye-witness accounts of UFO’s. One was witnessing some models of experimental aircraft at Wright AFB that matched stereotypical descriptions of UFO’s (cigar and saucer), as well as witnessing an event where a jet that had been scrambled to intercept a UFO over Japan got shot down. Other than those two “eye-witness” events – he admits that everything else he "knows" about Aliens and UFO’s were told to him through 1st and/or 2nd hand accounts.
H: And then he told me about this book (a reference to the “Yellow Book”?). He said there were about 40 copies but they were all controlled. I asked if it was possible to see the book and he said “No, it was just sent back six months ago.”
How does the United States define the direction of government science? How do secret government scientist’s physics and metaphysics leanings and biases factor into government funding for various avenues of funding and research? Why are scientists sucked into strange scientific theories and avenues of research? These are important questions for citizens of the United States. Since the terrorist attacks of 2001, classified government funding for programs controlled by the Pentagon has increased by an amazing 48%, to over $27 billion. These funds are shielded from public oversight because of its status as secret government clandestine research. This means that the government could be researching some of the most controversial and disturbing scientific concepts of our time, and you have absolutely no say in the matter. It’s for the good of “National Security,” or so they say.
Are scientists within the Air Force more gullible? Since the release of many thousands of formerly classified documents outlining the government’s foray into paranormal research of the mind, few government science researchers have been quite as persistent and determined to reveal the details of those documents to the public as Gary Bekkum at 
“While I have focused mostly on what is here in the Star Gate documents, I found what isn’t here also to be interesting. What seems not to be here is any documentation from the Air Force program run by Dale Graff in the Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, beginning in 1975. That program went on for several years and achieved a number of important things. In fact, Graff and his program were directly responsible for keeping the SRI-International remote viewing research effort going after the CIA abandoned it the first time. But there is nothing to show for it, at least as far as I’ve been able to discover. There is also little in evidence from Graff’s and Dr. Jack Vorona’s offices at the Defense Intelligence Agency’s main facility in Washington, D.C.”
