Important Update: 7 July 2006 Over the last several weeks I’ve been receiving a large number of messages from visitors from all over the world – each one asking for an update to the Serpo site. First: please click here for an excellent article on Serpo by Mark Pilkington, published in May’s Fortean Times. It’s a shrewd, lucid, well-written summary. Enjoy. Second: I want to re-publish the message I received on 2 December from a serving Air Force Lt Colonel assigned to the Pentagon, whose name and e-mail I know but who has requested that they are not disclosed. Below that, please find a second message from the same source which I’ve not previously published. It contains interesting new information. Victor Martinez’s “Anonymous” immediately told him the name of the retired Air Force Colonel my source visited, and passed it on to me. I have not disclosed this name either. Since receiving these messages my Lt Col source has “gone
dark” despite a number of attempts to re-establish
communication. Prior to the 2 December message, he had corresponded
with me on five occasions about minor matters connected
with the Serpo story. He is a military scientist, and was
interested in the astrophysics of the releases; he sent
me a lengthy discourse on Kepler’s Laws in which he
explained how Kepler’s Laws would not apply in a Binary
Star environment, and was interested in what the “DIM”
might be (until that was clarified by Paul McGovern).
Third: for the benefit of those visitors unfamiliar with the recent twists and turns of the story, there are some important facts to report. While what follows is likely to pale into insignificance when compared with the unseen and untold events, incidents and battles behind the scenes in the “Insider” community, it still contains some considerable drama and interest with which some readers may already be familiar. It also contains new information. Here we go: 1) Between 16 February and 10 March this year, Victor Martinez – who had received messages from Anonymous from 1 November to 21 December 2005 – was contacted again by someone claiming to be the original source. Although this was never mentioned on this site, the original source referred to himself as “Sylvester McCoglin” – using the e-mail address thewizardofzin@lycos.com. Although the name was itself an alias, it was Victor who chose to substitute this with the now-famous moniker “Request Anonymous”. The names “Sylvester” and “McCoglin” were apparently borrowed from two ancestors of one particular individual, who will not be named. “The Wizard” was the nickname of one of the pilots in the group of twelve astronauts who visited Serpo. On 16 February, Victor was contacted again from someone claiming to be Sylvester McCoglin, this time writing from thewizardofzin@yahoo.com. He explained that his original e-mail address had been compromised and asked Victor to forward to him what original correspondence he had retained. Victor did as he was asked and a lengthy e-mail exchange followed between them. “Sylvester” did not reveal any new information to be posted, but questioned the authenticity of the postings received by myself after the New Year, and ended up persuading Victor to take drastic public action to discredit myself and Rick Doty (who had been part of the communication chain of some of the information received by myself). To Victor’s credit, he declined to do this. On 10 March, I was contacted by Steve Broadbent and Ryan Dube – two active members of the Above Top Secret (ATS) forum under the usernames Zep Tepi and rdube02 or ryguy – who explained to me that Victor’s "Anonymous returned” was none other than Wayne Jaeschke, the attorney for ATS and Associate of the international law firm Morrison and Foerster – and frequent poster on ATS and some other forums under the username Centrist. Jaeschke, aided by Broadbent, Dube and a fourth ATS member, Shawnna Connolly, had first unearthed the names “Sylvester McCoglin” and the e-mail address thewizardofzin@lycos.com by covert means and then utilized them to successfully deceive Victor Martinez. To their credit, Broadbent and Dube took the initiative to contact me after realizing that Jaeschke’s agenda was not as he had first presented it – i.e. to honestly investigate the Serpo releases. Instead, it had become clear to them that he was intent on discrediting the story – and myself – by any means possible. This violated Broadbent’s and Dube’s integrity, who then contacted me to apologize and explain exactly what had happened. Click here for an already well-leaked e-mail from Jaeschke to his three colleagues which shows his agenda. (The “Black Friday” message referenced in this e-mail is a release Jaeschke sent to Victor intent on ruining the careers of myself and Rick Doty. Victor never posted it.) I have never received any communication about this from Shawnna Connolly, who as best I know has not apologized nor acknowledged responsibility for her documented complicity in this deception. Wayne Jaeschke has since withdrawn from an active role on the forums, and the Anonymous messages received by Victor in February and March ceased immediately. it is important to state that none of the releases posted on this site came from Jaeschke or any of his colleagues. Steve Broadbent, Ryan Dube, and Shawnna Connolly are now
moderators of the recently launched Reality
Uncovered forum in which they maintain an analytical
stance which is critically discrediting of the Serpo story.
Wayne Jaeschke has given them access to the e-mail correspondence
between himself as the Impostor "Anonymous" and
Victor, some of which has been posted on their site. It
is interesting and significant that Jaeschke has been putting
considerable pressure on Steve Broadbent and Ryan Dube to
release all the mails to the public. Readers may
ask themselves (see below) why this is so important to him. I am clarifying this sequence of events because the above has not yet been told clearly and in detail in the public domain. It is not crucial for an understanding of the Serpo releases, however.... except in one matter: 2) Readers are invited to consider why Wayne Jaeschke was motivated to go to the time and trouble to put himself and his credibility as a lawyer, working for a international firm, at risk – and recruit the services of three colleagues of disparate backgrounds (all from the ATS Forum) in order to humiliate Victor Martinez, present the Serpo releases as the stuff of imagination, and discredit both Rick Doty and myself. The following questions invite themselves to be asked:
One thing is clear: Broadbent, Dube and Connolly appear to believe that Serpo is a hoax which in their opinion – which they are keen to persuade others to believe – is entirely perpetrated by Doty. The agenda of Reality Uncovered is to argue this case. However, this is conjecture – and has much to do with the belief systems of the individuals concerned, supported by their interpretation of the very limited amount of evidence to which they have access. It needs to be explained that none of the four are privy to any important information emerging from the “Insider” community. Readers will understand that the important questions above remain unanswered, and are welcome to speculate for themselves what may be happening behind the scenes. Motivations are more important than personalities here. 3) An unknown person representing himself as “Tacitus Monroe” launched a new site which had as its purpose and function a kind of blackmail to persuade “the truth” about Serpo to be revealed. The name means “Silent no more”; Tacitus is Latin for silent, and no more is an anagram of Monroe; and Tacitus displayed a penchant for writing one-liners in reasonable Latin. Steve Broadbent has been accused of being Tacitus (Tacitus’s updates apparently ceased as Reality Uncovered was launched), but he has denied it and the synchronicity may be a coincidence. Meanwhile, Tacitus has access to a substantial amount of inside information previously known (outside those with direct access to certain information) only to the “imposter Anonymous” and his colleagues – i.e. Wayne Jaeschke, Broadbent, Dube and Connolly. Kerry Cassidy offered to interview Tacitus in a recorded discussion with myself about the interpretations he presented... but the e-mails were never returned. 4) There have been no further releases of information since 3 April. Rick Doty was Anonymous’s conduit for some of the information I received, and many are aware that I met with him (for the first time) over a four day period at the UFO Conference at Laughlin, Nevada, at the beginning of March. My partner Kerry Cassidy and I met with him again at length in Los Angeles in May, during which time we found him to be credible, convincing, human and frustrated. We challenged him as to whether he had been the source of any of the earlier Serpo material, as some have claimed. “No”, was his emphatic reply. “It’s been a shambles. If I’d been running this disclosure, it’d have been a class act. I made recommendations, but they were not heeded. There’s nothing I can do.” Rick Doty had been contacted by the original “Sylvester McCoglin” in early January, stating that he and his group were unhappy with Victor’s editorial style and instead wanted the releases to be channeled directly to myself – via him. Rick was dismayed about this. He called me on 6 January and said that because of his reputation and history as a source of disinformation, he wanted to ask me if I’d be willing to receive the information directly, so that he could be omitted from the loop. We pondered the question between us. Rick really didn’t want to do it and was worried about the consequences should his involvement become known. This is important for people to understand: Rick didn’t want to do the job. During that phone conversation, if Rick was acting, he deserves an Oscar. I’m convinced that his personal dilemma was authentic. 4) Meanwhile, I had been shown five of the fabled and promised Serpo photographs. A third party had requested a meeting with me in a hotel room, which lasted about an hour. During that time I was given an envelope and invited to open it and view its contents. I was not permitted to make copies, keep the contents, or report to anyone else the encounter or what I had seen. I have now taken the unilateral step, entirely on my own responsibility, of deciding to disclose what I had witnessed. There were five photos, three of which were in full color. One, in black and white, showed a rather indistinct, dark, rectangular, obelisk-like object; I was later told that it was the well-documented “tower” on Serpo. Another, also in black and white, I was told was an X-Ray image of the Ebens’ Energy Device. It indeed looked like an X-Ray of a small object, but it was impossible to tell what it really was. A third was a portrait of an Eben, but it was hard to tell whether or not it was a model. A fourth was a desert scene, with some oddly eroded rocks; but it could have been somewhere on Earth. It was the fifth photo which took my breath away. It showed a desert landscape, with dark storm clouds in the sky, taken from a slightly elevated position, such as a small hill or a high sand dune. And on the horizon were two suns setting. I stared at that photo for a very long time and can remember every detail. It did not look like anything created by Photoshop; I examined it very carefully. The emotional impact was considerable; I was surprisingly moved – and remain so every time I recall the event. I was instructed not to tell anyone that I had seen the
photos, and that permission would be granted to publish
them on this website “in the near future”. That
permission never came, and I never saw the photos again. 5) In the meantime, Rick Doty was becoming more and more frustrated. At one point he remarked in my presence, staring out of the window: “The game continues to be played… without any rules.” The irritation was evident in his voice. He told Kerry Cassidy and myself, in some detail, of the group behind the scenes who were orchestrating the releases. The story contains some astonishing information which Kerry and I have given a personal undertaking not to reveal, to protect some of the individuals involved. There is good reason for this, and I will not go into any details. Some of this, however, is told on Jerry Pippin’s Serpo page:
It is my understanding that the above information is accurate. 6) As of the time of writing (7 July) Rick Doty has been uncontactable by anyone I know for the last month – which I believe would only have occurred under direct orders. As detailed above, some other investigators have not been helping matters, intent on trying to prove that Rick is a fraud. I am personally convinced he is not. It is my instinct and personal investigation of all of this that has led me to understand that this is a game being played in large part behind the scenes. The only proven time Rick took part in a major disinformation campaign – under orders while he was working for AFOSI – was in the early 1980s during the Paul Bennewitz affair. (See Project Beta, Greg Bishop’s book on the subject, in which Doty supported the telling of the true story in full. At Laughlin this March, I spent time with Bishop and Doty together, witnessing their friendly relationship.) To summarize: in all my interaction with Rick Doty I have been struck by his apparent desire for disclosure of the alien visitation and the fact that he has his own convictions on this issue. At times he has displayed what I would term very honest frustration at his lack of being able to control the game any more than anyone else. Doty’s past actions may not be relevant here, and his involvement in the backstage story is likely to be a pre-placed “fuse in the circuit” – plausible deniability. The Serpo story at root is, I do believe as he has stated, taken from a real occurrence. Please see Jerry Pippin’s “Aviary” page to download a fascinating audio interview with Rick Doty, in which he says much about Serpo.
7) I fully understand that the information above is likely to trigger a minor avalanche of questions and discussion. With respect to all, I will decline to answer any questions, nor enter into any debate. Kerry Cassidy and I have been told that more information will be released later in the year “once certain problems have been dealt with”. I know nothing of the progress of these initiatives or whether the referenced problems have been handled… or not. I have heard nothing for quite a while. Like all observers, I am waiting; and, like all observers, I want to see those photos… again.
