When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact

156 Pages·2012·3.31 MB·English

“I’ve always known there was a UFO conspiracy, and this book confirms all my suspicions. Furthermore, these two authors
—Dolan and Zabel—must be in on it! How else to explain the astounding level of insight and staggering detail this book offers on
what is supposedly a hypothetical situation? If you ask me, A.D. After Disclosure is all part of the government’s campaign to prepare
us for the inevitable. But even if I’m wrong, these guys have done a masterful job imagining the unimaginable.”
—Brent V. Friedman, writer/producer; co-creator of Dark Skies
“Micro-organisms on the moon, biological bacteria on meteorites, structures on Mars, and the recovery of mortal beings at
Roswell have all paved the acceptance that we are not alone in the universe. And not since the Brooking Institute Study of the
ramifications of contact with a higher intelligence off the earth has anyone demonstrated with such comprehensiveness just what type
of a world society would wake up to on such a fateful day. Not until Dolan and Zabel. The contemporary research they have
accumulated in this book should serve as a primer for present and future generations. Not only to soften the blow, but also to provide
us with hope. Hope, that even though much that we have faithfully accepted as reality, forever changed, will still usher in a time
when we can peer at our neighbors up in the stars, and not just over the next-door fence.”
—Donald R. Schmitt, coauthor of Witness to Roswell
“As a physician, researcher, and creative writer, I stand on the shoulders of others to see and climb the next mountain. A.D.
After Disclosure is a brilliant, enjoyable primer that holds a feast of ideas that will make any audience think and wonder. This work
offers a place to stand where others may take up the challenge and travel to places none of us could conceive. Richard and Bryce
have performed a great service both to our culture and that of the ‘Others.’”
—Dr. Jeffrey Galpin, infectious disease specialist, molecular biologist, AIDS Researcher
“The governed can hardly give their consent when the truth is withheld from them. If insiders who claim to represent us have
hard proof that we are not alone and they don’t share it with the people, then the blowback predicted by Zabel and Dolan in A.D.
After Disclosure will be a mighty wind, indeed.”
—Lars Larson, host of nationally syndicated The Lars Larson Show
“This is an important book dealing with vital issues which are rarely considered. In my opinion, Disclosure is inevitable.
Preparation for that moment should be an integral part of every thinking person’s worldview. The authors should be commended.
They have done us a service.”
—Coleman Luck, writer/executive producer; author of Angel Fall
“If Disclosure happens in my life, this is how I imagine it would occur. Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel have left no stone
unturned in capturing, in intricate detail, every aspect and every nuance of the events, the complexities and ramifications that would
inevitably unfold with Disclosure. Thought provoking, highly imaginative, yet incredibly real. A must read for believers and skeptics
alike.”
—Don Most, producer, Majic Men

Acknowledgments
From Richard
In the course of my research, there have been many individuals who have helped me in my journey on the difficult road of
envisioning a world in which the truth of UFOs is openly known. Among them all, two friends stand out.
One of them is Vince White. Through the years, Vince has described his vision of a post-disclosure world, of its inevitability, of
the dramatic changes it will bring in its wake. I don’t know of anyone who has thought this through with as much detail, or as much
courage.
The other is Stephen Bassett. Anyone who has met Stephen knows the energy and focus he brings to the issue of Disclosure.
Along the way he has made many admirers, and a few critics, too, who feel that “disclosure” and “exopolitics” are wrong-headed
and premature in a world that will not even acknowledge the reality of UFOs themselves. Most of these criticisms are misguided, in
my view. Future generations will remember Stephen as one of the key figures who helped to bring the world to an open acceptance
of the truth: that “Others” are here on Earth, observing and interacting with humanity.
Other people have helped with their conversation and insights. Among them I wish to acknowledge Thomas Darling, PhD, Edgar
Mitchell, ScD, Jim Marrs (who graciously wrote the Foreword to this book), and two of my U.K. friends: Nick Pope and Anthony
Beckett. To these and the many others—most of whom know who they are—I offer my lasting thanks.
Finally, I would like to thank the support and patience of my family: Karyn, Michael, and Elaine. Through the thick and through
the thin, they have been there to support me.
From Bryce
My journey of consciousness-raising began with my mother, Lucile Zabel, who got a copy of The Interrupted Journey when I
was a kid and couldn’t put it down.
Finding friends who will discuss UFOs without prejudice or ridicule is not always easy and, in particular, I note the many hours
I’ve spent with my “two Dons,” Don Most and Don Clark. My other open-minded friends through the years have included David
Chatfield, Roger Clark, Eric Close, Manny Coto, Matt Gross, Stephen Harding, Rob Kirk, John Landgraf, Stan Lee, Coleman
Luck, Brad Markowitz, Bob Nowotny, Jim Parriott, Dave Ransil, Jeff Sagansky, Fred Saxon, Larry Sheflo, Adam Sigel, Peter
Telep, Tracy Torme, Jeff Wachtel, Megan Ward, Rich Whitley, and Alan Zabel. Along with my gifted coauthor Richard Dolan, the
researchers who have taught me the most are Steven Bassett, Stanton Friedman, George Knapp, Kathleen Marden, Nick Pope,
Alejandro Rojas, Donald Schmitt, Lee Spiegel, and Whitley Strieber. And the people who helped make this specific book possible
include Cherish Alexander, Todd Masters, Alex Asher Sears, Nancy Tokos, and John White.
My Dark Skies co-creator Brent V. Friedman will be one of my very first calls when Disclosure happens. Also, David E. Kelly,
who hired me to work on L.A. Law, because he thought a script I wrote about alien abductions felt real to him.
Thanks also go to my father, Harvey Zabel, who taught high school American history and, shortly before he died, finally talked
about his Army buddy’s experience at Roswell, knowing that it would mean all the textbooks from which he had taught would be
re-written. And to my children—Jared, Lauren, and Jonathan—whose own children will read those new books in school.
Finally, to my wife, Jackie, who abducted my heart and always believes in me.

About the Author
Foreword by Jim Marrs
How do you—meaning you reading these words—deal with the idea of Unidentified Flying Objects?
Do you simply ignore the issue, like the majority of your fellow citizens? Do you disdain any serious discussion of the topic
because it may cause discomfort to your cherished beliefs and worldview? Or, like a small minority, do you consider with an open
mind the possibility that life may exist outside of our conventional three-dimensional material reality? Or perhaps you wait
impatiently for a meeting with “our space brothers,” as does an even smaller minority?
Regardless of your viewpoint, we—all humans on Earth—are in for a real awakening…and probably sooner rather than later.
For some, this awakening to the reality of visitation by “Others,” the designation used by the authors of this book, will be a
confirmation of long-held beliefs. For many more it will be a shattering of their worldview, leaving them in psychological shock and
confusion…and most probably more than a little angry with the “experts” who have lied and dissembled for so long.
After all, haven’t our authority figures—military officers, prominent scientists, mass media pundits—for many years told us that
UFOs simply do not exist? Haven’t the people who said such things are real been denigrated as publicity seekers and nuts wearing
aluminum hats? Haven’t all UFO sightings been explained as mere illusions, secret government test craft, or misinterpreted natural
phenomena? And haven’t we all been schooled and conditioned to respect and trust our authorities?
In the case of UFOs, such trust and respect has been misplaced.
Since the 1940s or earlier, the Freedom of Information Act lawsuits have produced a mountain of documentary evidence that
instituted a program of denial and ridicule within the highest levels of our military and government regarding UFOs. The message
was, “You didn’t see anything and if you persist in saying you did, then you probably need mental health care.”
And it worked admirably.
Until most recently, the prospect of derision and ridicule coupled with a patriotic impulse to assist the government in hiding secrets
resulted in thousands of citizens keeping mum about their personal experiences with UFOs. This resulted in a distorted view of our
world and events and created a dysfunctional and hypocritical society.
After all, no matter how smart you are, if you are operating from incomplete or erroneous information, you will never have a
correct understanding of any issue. Those who dismiss the idea of non-human intelligent life and UFOs will never begin to truly
comprehend the full picture of our world, as they have discarded a large piece of the puzzle.
But such denial and secrecy has begun to crack in recent years with the advent of the personal camcorder and the camera-bearing
cell phone. Prior to this technology, only occasionally did a person obtain a photograph of a UFO, and even then it was just a blurry
spot of light in the dark sky, hardly satisfying proof to anyone.
But today, not a day goes by that someone, somewhere in the world does not get a reasonably clear picture of something unusual
in the air. Naturally, this does not impinge on those whose worldview is either locked into denial or supporting some hidden agenda.
Although a good many photos are creations of Photoshop, a hubcap soaring over the backyard, or a shot of Venus on a clear
night, enough are unexplainable to convince any thoughtful person that something is happening in the skies above.
The reality of UFO visitation becomes even more obvious when these photos and government documents are placed into context
with physical evidence such as radar contacts, the innumerable personal accounts of sightings, and physical abduction.
So, to the open-minded, the controversy is settled—UFOs exist. Although it remains unclear whether they represent travelers from
another solar or star system, another dimension, or another time line, they most certainly represent yet another part of our reality. And
the sooner the human race comes to deal with this fact, the better.
The question now becomes, “Who occupies UFOs and why are they here?” And even more importantly, “What are we going to
do about this new reality?”
It is this question that is addressed in this book and one that deserves serious consideration because, sooner or later, we will all
have to answer this for ourselves.

Preface by Stephen Bassett
Disclosure, the formal acknowledgment by the world’s governments of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, is
inevitable. So was this book.
To my knowledge it is the first work to specifically and comprehensively address the concept of “big D” Disclosure from an
exopolitical perspective, which is to say it attempts to bring the concept into focus for the mass of people who may have no inkling
of what is headed their way.
If The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a how-to book about what to do when the world ends, this is a how-to book on what to
do when a new world begins.
To this purpose Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel are well suited. Richard is a grounded historian whose developing trilogy, UFOs
and the National Security State, is building a chronological backbone to the history of the UFO/ET issue from 1947 onward. Bryce
has written and produced for television, and thus understands how to communicate to the larger audience beyond the realms of
research and academia.
Given that most parents generally have nine months to prepare for the birth of a new human being, it is somewhat unnerving that
human beings will be lucky if they have 90 seconds to prepare for the birth of a new reality. This is because the United States
government has no intention of providing a user manual or early warning concerning Disclosure—the most profound event in
human history. One evening you are eating Chinese take-out in front of the television. Five minutes later you are in a new paradigm,
the world has changed in a billion ways and you haven’t even finished the kung pao chicken.
The truth embargo (what some call the UFO cover-up) is in its seventh decade. According to Richard and Bryce, it will end soon.
Pay close attention; you need to know that. All of the old paradigm assertions: “You don’t have a need to know,” “You can’t handle
the truth,” and “don’t ask, don’t tell,” will get tossed out the window. A little preparation will help ensure you don’t jump out the
window with them.
Many thousands of books will be written on the subject of Disclosure before the sun cools, expands, and swallows up the solar
system. You’ll want to read them all, but A.D. After Disclosure is a very good beginning.
But permit me to suggest that there is one group of people who desperately need to read this book ASAP. They are the elected
members of Congress, the commanding officers in the military, the managers of the intelligence agencies, and most assuredly the
President of the United States.
You see, there is an implicit irony in this book that may escape your notice. One of the key assumptions of A.D. After Disclosure
is that governments will be forced to reveal the truth regarding an extraterrestrial presence by a dramatic event that forces their hand.
This is strategically unwise. The sight of members of Congress being chased down the halls of their office buildings by packs of
screaming reporters with cameras and pens clicking away will not inspire confidence in that August body, which recently hit an all
time low.
Should they bother to read this book, it is quite possible they might see the wisdom of actually doing their job and effectuating a
proactive, orderly Disclosure event that gets the job done without unnecessary, self-destructive melodrama.
If this happens the government would feel good about itself, the people would be more assured, and even the extraterrestrials
might take comfort in the rare display of maturity on the part of human institutions.
So do yourself and your nation a favor and send a copy to your elected representatives. I’m sure they’ll thank you for it in a nicely
worded form letter.

Introduction
Thousands of books, all debating whether UFOs are real or just figments of our imaginations, have been published.
This book is not one of them.
More than six decades into this quiet revolution, we can now see the outlines of a reality that has been sneaking up on us, one step
at a time.
The issue that was hushed up by one generation, then turned into an object of derision by another, now demands to be heard
straight in ours.
Since the first major wave of UFO sightings in 1947, the number of people who believe that UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin
has steadily risen. Today, a majority of Americans, as well as other global citizens, believe this is so, and at least five percent claim to
have seen a UFO.
The evidence that something strange has been happening is voluminous and convincing. All you have to do is look for it.
Through the years, determined researchers have forced the release of classified reports prepared by the U.S. government and other
nations. These accounts tell a story of contact through the eyes of thousands of professional witnesses, such as law enforcement,
military pilots, and even astronauts. Most people now reject the theory that all sightings can be explained away as weather balloons,
swamp gas flares, ball lighting, or mass hallucination. Instead, they have settled on one conclusion: Some UFOs appear to be
intelligently controlled physical craft of some kind from some place that is not here.
Accepting that as our starting point makes our book different.
A.D. After Disclosure is the first project to focus on what might happen after an announcement that UFOs are real.
Even if you are skeptical about UFOs, or (if you believe in them) doubt that the secrecy will end any time soon, this book should
still engage you. Consider it a fascinating “What if?”
What if UFO secrecy were to end? How would that change our world?
No secret can last forever. Our society is changing so fast, so completely, that we will be unrecognizable a mere century from
now. In such a world, with intelligent computers, advanced quantum computing, and nearly unforeseeable developments in global
communication, can we really believe that a secret such as the presence of an alien intelligence on Earth can continue to remain
hidden and undisclosed? At what point between now and then do we cross the threshold of knowing the truth about UFOs, and
having an open acknowledgment of them in our world? It might be as soon as next week, or as long as several more generations, but
it won’t be forever. It will happen. The wall of official denial that has been in place for more than half a century is now crumbling.
And yet, an acknowledgment that “UFOs are real and some of them are not us” will not end the debate. It will only lead to more
questions, and mark a new phase of the mystery.
Will Disclosure lead to social panic? Undermine religion? Destroy the stock market? Or will it lead to revolutionary new
technologies, extended life spans, and world peace?
If alien civilizations have sent their own explorers across the universe to visit us, who are they? What do they want? And why
would some of our people keep the news of their arrival from the rest of us? What will unmasking a truth of this magnitude do to our
reality, our way of life, our culture, our society? Could it be that these beings are not “visitors” from another part of our universe, but
full-time residents of our world already? Are even stranger physics involved, such as dimensions or time travel? Any such revelation
will be a game-changer of monumental proportions. Unlike 9/11 when we said everything changed, in this case it really will. Full
Disclosure could usher in an age of human unity or one of greater global conflict. It could lead to paradise or hell.
Those are the questions that have kept us up at nights; because we wanted answers, we have written this book. Both of us feel that
our previous research has led us inexorably to this project. We may now be believers in UFO reality, but we did not start out that
way. We followed the facts where they led.
Richard Dolan has a graduate degree in history from the University of Rochester, where he studied U.S. Cold War strategy,
Soviet history, and international diplomacy. He was writing a book about U.S. national security policy during the early Cold War
when he became fixated on the issue of UFOs. His research evolved into UFOs and the National Security State, a multi-volume
historical study of the attitudes and policies toward UFOs by the military and intelligence community, and the fascinating
development of citizen movements to end UFO secrecy.
Bryce Zabel grew up near McMinnville, Oregon, just a few miles from the spot where two of the most famous UFO photographs
in history were taken. Even so, as a TV network correspondent and investigative reporter, he started as a skeptic. Yet, he found his
mind opening when his research for several high-profile film and TV projects suggested to him that UFOs were not science fiction,
but science fact. He created the NBC TV series, Dark Skies, wrote the SyFy Channel’s first original film Official Denial, and
worked with Steven Spielberg on Taken.
Throughout both our careers, we have each sifted through the evidence, listened to the believers and deniers and, frankly, done
the homework that investigative journalists and university scholars should have done, but which few have tried. And while the work
has been rewarding, it has never been easy, and has often been troubling.
A detached review of the proven evidence, much of which is freely available in once-classified documents released through the
Freedom of Information Act, tells us that militaries from around the world have been plagued by UFOs. There is no other way to
characterize these events. Time after time, sensitive and restricted air space has been the scene of violations by objects tracked on
radar and seen visually by base personnel. Attempts to intercept have often been made, typically ending in failure. The documents
describe these unknown objects as performing maneuvers that would have destroyed our best fighter aircraft. UFOs could hover
indefinitely, and then accelerate instantaneously. Witnesses often described them as roundish or disk-shaped, giving rise to the term
flying saucer.
To read one or two such reports, we might well be inclined to dismiss them as mistakes: unknown natural phenomena, equipment
malfunctions, or some other error in perception. But hundreds of such reports have come down to us. Their tone is serious. Higher
level military and intelligence personnel discussed them and were left perplexed and sometimes distressed.
The general scenario is clear. Advanced technology has been traversing the Earth. Regardless of who it belongs to, it is
technology that is not supposed to exist—and yet it does. Moreover, those individuals in strategic positions of power were able to
create and maintain a system of secrecy designed to keep the rest of the world in the dark.
Was it right to keep this secret from the people since the 1940s? To laugh at people who saw what they saw, to make them feel
small and ridiculous for speaking out? To transform the most important information of our time into fodder for stand-up comedy?
No, it was not. Perhaps, after the truth is known, there will be efforts to bring some of these secret-keepers to justice. More likely,
however, many people will shrug their shoulders and reflect that they might have done the same thing had they been confronted with
the problem of UFOs. They will also find, as we have in the course of our research, that the problem of UFOs has seldom been
clear, and never simple.
And yet, whatever the reasons for keeping us in the dark, we deserve to hear the full story now. We deserve to make our own
plans. The truth may be wonderful, or it may be disturbing, but whatever it is, people have the capacity, and more importantly the
right, to learn it and act upon it.
In any case, we as a society will learn it. The structure of secrecy, when it falls apart in the months or years ahead, could disappear
with astonishing speed. One day it will be there and the next it will not.
Those who have held this secret for so long need to understand that the river of time cannot stop, and that truth cannot indefinitely
be denied. The day is coming when they will be forced to come clean, and it is best for them, as well as for humanity, that they do
this sooner rather than later. We will need all the wisdom, foresight, and time possible to make a smooth transition to the new reality,
After Disclosure, or A.D.
To the group of beings we have come to call the “Others”—whoever and whatever they are—we want to remind them that,
whatever their attitude about the human race, our scientific trajectory may soon enable us to leap into their world. It may well be that,
at some point in the future, they will be forced to answer to us for past transgressions, or we may be thanking them for past services
rendered. Either way, the human race is poised to advance to the next level of civilization.
If there is a final thought to the journey of A.D. After Disclosure, it is a couple words of advice: no fear. That means: Do not be
afraid to express your views regarding the reality of other intelligences interacting with humanity, for the truth is that more people
believe this than you realize. Do not fear the secret-keepers, for they are people, too, who have generally done what they have out of
the belief that it was best. Also, do not fear their power, as they are not infallible, and time is against them. You have your own
resources to marshal the truth. Do not fear the Others, either, no matter what that truth may be. Whether they are angels, demons,
good, bad, or indifferent to our fate, do not fear them. You lived well enough up until now, and you will survive well enough after
the Great Change. Above all, believe in humankind, in our ability to face unexpected challenges, in the strength and wisdom that
reside within us, waiting for the moment to manifest.
Although the nature of this book is speculative we have worked hard to keep such speculations informed and supported by solid
research. You will notice, however, that some of the sources we refer to are listed as “confidential,” rather than by name. Although
we wish this were not so, there are many people who have been touched by this cover-up who do not feel comfortable speaking
openly, either because of past oaths of secrecy, fear of personal jeopardy, or ridicule. We want our readers to know that, through our
professional training in the fields of history and investigative journalism, we have applied standards of credibility to such comments.
Only those individuals who cross a threshold of reliability have been included. Hopefully, the day is not so far away when all people
can speak openly on this subject.
