The MJ-12 Saga Continues: Operation Bird Droppings—Update 1
One day after “Operation Bird Droppings”, my latest article on the MJ-12 hoax was posted online, I received the following email from Timothy Cooper, a leading figure in the ongoing MJ-12 controversy. (One may google his name, combining it with MJ-12 and/or SOM 1-01 for some background information.)Continue reading -
In any case, much to my surprise, the once-pro MJ-12 Cooper has now disavowed all of the MJ-12 material, including the many “documents” anonymously sent to him.
Here is Cooper’s email to me. I have highlighted the key sentences:

The MJ-12 Saga Continues:
Operation Bird Droppings
By Robert Hastings
Disinformation Specialists Richard “Falcon” Doty
and Robert “Condor” Collins are still leaving little presents all over the place for the uninformed and unsuspecting. Watch where you step!Jeez! It’s not like I don’t have other things to do. With the publication of my book UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, and following my July 18, 2008 appearance on Larry King Live, I have received a number of intriguing and seemingly confirmatory leads from former or retired military personnel regarding the reality of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites over the last six decades.
While I would much prefer following up on those apparently legitimate leads, I guess I am going to have to roll up my shirt sleeves and attempt to educate a few well-intentioned but way-too-gullible folks regarding the supposed validity of the MJ-12 “documents” and related disinformation which is still being spread around by Richard Doty and Robert Collins, sometimes in emails or online posts, but most egregiously in their co-authored book Exempt From Disclosure. The first version was published in 2005 and the second in 2008. The Introduction, in each edition, should have opened with these words: “First, before we begin, bend over!”
Ah well, I suppose it’s time for me to counter-attack, before this crap-fest gains even more ground on the Internet and at UFO conventions. (Yes, I do understand that some folks in ufology and among the general public will not benefit from my informed input, preferring instead their own biases and strained theories about MJ-12. That’s not my problem.)

Los Alamos and thankfully Santa Fe
After several hours in Los Alamos I was ready to get the hell out. There are only so many McCain and Steve Pierce election signs you can see before you start feeling truly sick. Mind you, the lab is the biggest employer there and it serves their purpose to vote for whoever would spend the most on defense, but it does not serve my purpose or the greater good.
Then I knew I was nearing Santa Fe (I was in Tesuque) because I saw nothing but Obama signs. What a relief!
Some people seem to think that I hate Santa Fe and that is not at all true. I love the real Santa Fe that is there beneath what people refer to as "the southwestern disneyland."
The southwestern Disneyland is what you see if all your time in Santa Fe is spent at the plaza. You will see so much artwork depicting Cowboys and Indians that your eyes will cross and you will be taken ill.
However, if you were to scratch just a bit deeper and walk a short distance over to Canyon Road you would find that Santa Fe is not all Cowboys and Indians, it is also elves, mermaids and all manner of delightful creatures mixed in with the creature you would expect to find in the Southwest.
Over the years, Canyon Road has become almost as popular as the plaza area. That is not to say that anyone visiting Santa Fe should skip the plaza, there is a lot of history there and it is not to be missed, but when you start to OD on native culture there is Canyon Road.
We had a delightful tapa dinner there at El Farol on Canyon Road. It was enjoyed so much that I even ordered the El Farol cookbook from Amazon when I got home. And although the galleries and shops were closed we walked the street after dinner, enjoying the courtyards and peeking into windows.
Now I should mention that somewhere between Los Alamos and Santa Fe, we stopped in Tesuque. Tesuque is one of my favorite places. It is so near Santa Fe that you could almost throw a stone and yet it is rural, there are even some houses with land and horses. There in Tesuque is the Tesuque Market, which not only has a restaurant with the best green chili cheese burgers on earth, but also a market with lots of great imported wines. If I had an endless supply of money I might move to Tesuque, at least for the summers.
In Tesuque, aside from the market, you will find Shidoni Foundry and Gallery. I have spent quite a lot of time there because Britton does a lot of sculpting. They do great bronze work at Shidoni, but they also are a rather "touristy" place due to their sculpture gardens and galleries. Though, not like the plaza or something -- they are an offbeat tour place. I like that there always seems to be a variety of animals and cryptid creatures in the sculpture gardens.
BTW, I very much enjoyed Samantha Brown's Santa Fe Episode of Passport to Great Weekends last night. She skipped right over a lot of the well known touristy stuff.

Green Fireballs in NM
I never quite realized that green fireballs were seen in NM all the way back in 1949. About 10 years ago I saw what at first I thought was a green fireball, but on closer inspection happened to be a powerful green laser shooting into the sky from Sandia/Kirtland AFB. It was supposedly used for some astronomy purpose was the rumor I heard after inquiring with a few people I thought might know the purpose. After that I assumed that probably all green fireball stories were really just lasers and people unfamiliar with lasers were mistaking them for something mysterious. However, there are several articles at the site where I got the one below that are also early reports. The laser wasn't invented until 1960 and I believe it was only the ruby laser which was red, it was several years after before there was a green laser so maybe that can't account for all green fireballs sightings.There is also another explanation, all the cited sighting of green fireballs prior to 1960 took place near a national lab, or research lab. The one below in Los Alamos, one in Albuquerque where Sandia National Lab is located and a some in Alamogordo, which is next to Holloman AFB and White Sands Missile Range. Is it possible that lasers were really invented long before the public was made aware of them? Really they were invented years before Theodore Maiman patented his ruby laser, but for some reason this was top secret and so Maiman was just allowed to patent it and take credit for inventing the laser?
Just a thought.
Another thing I found interesting was the reference in the article to the thought control office. According to the site I got the article from, the writer is actually being sarcastic and referring to the Atomic Energy Commission. :-)
Los Alamos, New Mexico, Skyliner - 29 Feb, 1949
Flying Green Lights Alert Constabulary
By THE OBSERVER
Shades of the flying saucers!
Los Alamos now has flying green lights.
These will 'o wisps seen generally about 2 a. m., have alerted the local constabulary and their presence is being talked about in Santa Fe bars.
But local wheels deny any official knowledge of the sky phenomena. Each one passes the buck to another.
FBI Denies
A call to El Paso, Tex., brought official denial from D. K. Brown, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation district that embraces Los Alamos, that his agency had not been called to deal with the matter.
At the information or thought-control office officials indicated that they knew about the recurring green flame in the sky but indicated that it wouldn't be wise to write about it.
Capt. Carroll Tyler, project manager, said simply that all he knew about the lights was rumor -- the same rumors that everyone is hearing.
Call the Army
At the thought-control office the general reaction was that the matter was out of AEC jurisdiction and the best way to find out what was going on was to call Kirtland Field.
A call to Kirtland showed that an Army captain who asked that his name not be used because he didn't know anything, didn't know anything. He was eager to learn, though.
No Speculation
Official reaction was the same on the Hill except for the atmosphere of secrecy that has been thrown about a matter discussed in every saloon and drawing room from here to Santa Fe.
There was even no speculation. Could these be visitors from Mars or from the Russias [sic]? No answer.
But enough competent observers had told this observer that there was indeed something in the wine.
Shott [sic] Down Venus
And something much more tangible than the time last summer when one of the local security officers ordered out tanks and jet planes from Kirtland Field to shoot down a light low on the horizon that happened to be Venus, a well-known planet.
The jet pilots, trigger fingers ready, were disgusted at that alarm. Maybe that's why they're now querying the green lights.
Have you seen a green light lately?
