2/14

20th Century, has been hiding out in Greeley,Colorado. Sought by many, he is the subject of atleast 22 books. Most authors conclude by askinghis true whereabouts. "If we could only find Carlos

Allende..." states one writer. "We could ask him ourquestions..."Carlos Allende, with his own writings, spawnednumerous books and a movie based on ThePhiladelphia Experiment, an alleged classifieddefense project in 1943 during which a Navydestroyer was supposedly displaced --instantaneously -- from Philadelphia to Norfolk,Virginia and back again.The day was bright and sunny. We sat on a benchin downtown Greeley near the Centennial Building,seat of the Weld County's government. Located 50miles north of Denver, Greeley is home to theDenver Bronco training camp. Formed originally asUnion Colony in New York City, the town wasestablished by Nathan Meeker and HoraceGreeley, who promoted the westward movement ofour nation. Greeley was an 1869 experiment tocolonize and civilize The West - - it worked.Because of Greeley's success thousands of settlersmoved westward beyond the Mississippi River.Now, in 1985, at the center of Greeley, CarlosAllende, says that America should try anotherexperiment."The Philadelphia Experiment worked," Carlos said.

"That was what frightened the military. They didn'tknow what Einstein was doing. He used them toaccomplish his own research in propulsion. Hebelieved we could travel faster than the speed oflight. That's what he was doing, and they didn'teven know it."Allende maintains that in October of 1943, he wasin a convoy of ships sailing to Algeria. "They didexperiments then. I say they must have done it 144

times. I don't know. At least a thousand men have


3/14

seen the ship become invisible. They radiated thetarget ship with electromagnetic beams. It startedout as an experiment in degaussing ships so theywouldn't attract mines, and in making ships invisible

to radar. But Einstein took it farther than anyoneexpected. He made the ship invisible to your eyes."Einstein was on the test ship the DE168. I was onthe U.S.S. Feurseth. We were in a military convoywith many, many ships. I was on the bow. There isa place where you can stand on top of thick covers,about a foot above the deck. That's where I was.The railing was curved. I hooked my left handunder the railing and leaned out as far as I could.

The force field was under my nose, you might say,really it was under my chest and neck. It hadspread out from the target ship. I reached into itwith my right arm. It kicked. Curiosity -- they say.That's why I did it. You might say I was satisfied. Ihad my question answered -- for the moment."The visibility of the force field is what disturbedEinstein and the defense investigators. As the shipbecame invisible the force field became visible.They couldn't figure it out. That's why Einsteincame to me. He saw me put my arm in. He wantedto know what I saw, what I had felt, if I smelledanything, and why I had done it. He sort of gave mean intelligence test -- you might say. Once herealized that I did it out of a deep scientific curiosity,he spent time with me. He gave me a rapid coursein the physics of invisibility during the next two anda half weeks."Einstein and his team were using the Navy fortheir research. The whole group was Jewish.Steinmetz wound the coils on the beam generator.It was based on the work of Tesla, but onlySteinmetz could make the winding. That little drawf-- a hunchback -- was the world's best researcher.What Einstein really was working on was a starshippropulsion system. You have to realize that this

was before rockets. This was before NASA's space


4/14

program. This was Einstein's test of space travel --starship drive at faster than light."What Einstein proved was that invisibility is a

precursor to propulsion beyond the speed of light.Invisibility is nothing more than the precondition toa practical utilization of the magnetic field related tothe Einstein Tunnel Propulson system. There isnothing to be afraid of with invisibility. Of the manycombinations of human blood type, bone type andflesh type, there is only one that remains invisiblefor life. Others are not affected adversely. Thismeans that the door is open for star travel for allAmericans. We must do it. We must proceed. This

is the future.

As Carlos talked, he nodded to people who smiledat him. The day was bright and beautiful. Themorning sun was rising towards noon -- August 14,1986.

Carlos is 61. He wore tweed trousers and a jacket.In his pockets were stuffed a variety of pens andpencils, papers and notes. He was thin. On hiswrists were medical braclets. He had beenhospitalized with a racing heart several timesduring the previous week. "It must be fate," he said."This is my death bed statement. In case I die, thequestions will be answered. All except one -- thatwill die with me," he said.

"America has had the answer since 1943. All theanswers are right under the nose of NASA and the

Department of Defense but they are still afraid. Thesecret is that the Philadelphia experiment isrepeatable. It should be repeated, again and again.It will lead to star travel and to a fleet of starshipscapable of protecting America. Travel faster thanlight has been documented as a phenomenon. Nowwe must learn again what Einstein knew in 1943.Man can create transportation at speeds fasterthan light.

"The first and most important statement is that the


5/14

experiment is repeatable. We must do it. You mustcontinue this research.

The second thing is that Einstein came to me, and

trained me in the theory of invisibility. He said theywere using the Navy for his own research into Star-ship propulsion. All the Navy wanted wasdegaussing and radar invisibility. You can imaginetheir surprise.

Thirdly, when the ship was radiated with the energybeam, particles were thrown off. It formed a thinhaze which increased in density. The haze becamea mist -- then a good solid fog of particles, atomic

particles and even whole atoms. It wasn't green, orblue as has been reported, but an ultra-violet glow.The increasing density of the field caused abreaking effect. This breaking effect on every atomin the electron shell is vital to invisibility. It stoppedthe orbital motion. Electrons were slowed to a stop.That moment when they do stop, the enormousdistances in atoms becomes apparent to the eye. Ifa nucleus were the size of a pea, the first electronshell would be about 2,500 miles out, on that scale.That is an enormous distance. Mostly empty space.When the electron shell orbital motion is stopped,the illusion of solidity is removed. That is the basisof invisibility. You are simply seeing the emptyspace.

The next important thing is that the applied exteriorforce field prevents the nucleus from exploding.The beam is creating a super dense flowing

magnetic field moving at the speed of light. It ismoving from the electron shell to the epi-center ofevery atom in the effective mass. The instant jumpof strength in the nuclear bond stops thedetonation.

"But you still have the transportation to worry about.The next important statement is that you have animbalance of particles in the effective mass. Thiscreates a particle hunger. The particle hunger has

to be satisified once the force field developes


6/14

because it becomes an acute particle hunger in theworst, and most serious way. There are threeways, at this point to cause the instantaneoustransport. Let's say there are two ways for certain,

and possibly a third way. Einstein tried two of theways, and they worked. The experiment isrepeatable. Repeatability is the criterion of science.I've never stated this before, but since this is mydeath bed statement, I will say it clearly -- IT ISREPEATABLE.

The last step, is to utilize the Einstein TunnelTheory. That will triple the speed. Proof exists rightnow that we can travel at 4.5 times the speed of

light.

If you want to talk about that I will, with examplesthat everyone can check. If you don't mind, for amoment, I'd like to pause and smoke a cigarette.I'm tired too, as I have been up all night."

Carlos was nearly penniless. I loaned him $10 anddrove him to the Greeley post office where hemailed out 5 copies of his most recent book: Rootsof Controversy. He said that various people aroundnorthern Colorado had received copies ofmanuscripts, and documents of his life history. But,his national acclaim has come from his annotatedcopies of a book by an astronomer named MorrisK. Jessup. Dr. Jessup had studied the PhiladelphiaExperiment and told associates that he had beenhired to continue the research in 1959. On his wayto another professor's house with his manuscript on

"instantaneous displacement," Jessup allegedlycommitted suicide, by stopping along a road andinhaling carbon monoxide from his car.

Jessup had apparently corresponded heavily withCarlos Allende in preparing the manuscript.

"Are you afraid for your life?" I asked. "Always," hesaid. "I am perpetually in hiding. Foremost fromCommunist sources. One thing I will say about

Jessup is that he did not commit suicide. Since this


7/14

is my final statement, I will tell you that I met himabout two years after his supposed death. Wetalked all night long. He had killed the man whowas sent to kill him, and taken the man's

identification. That's why there was no autopsy.

Is Allende afraid of the U. S. Government? "No, notat all. They have given me some of the bestprotection I've ever seen. They have guarded mylife. The U. S. has done a wonderful job, and Icompliment them for such beautiful protection allthis time. You see, my dream is the same asNASA's. My dream is for the United States to travelto the stars. If we build starships using Einstein's

theory, we will never be short of natural resourceslike aluminum or copper, or iron. We will regain ournumber one position in the world.

"But right now there are only four men in the UnitedStates who understand Unified Field Theory. I amone of them -- but I am not a scientist. Myknowledge is from experience and from time withEinstein. He taught me what he could and mademe understand.

"We can have starships, and need them fordefense. Imagine them out in space beyond themoon. Russia launches a nuclear attack. Thestarships could return with LASER cannon'sblasting -- repeating LASER cannons -- capable ofincinerating every major city in the USSR. It isreasonable. We could have a fleet of starshipsunrivaled in the world, starships capable of

protecting America from surprise attack.

Carlos said that he feels comfortable in Greeley, aswe visited some of his favorite sites. These are hisfriends. People wave and smile at the bright-minded, colorful old man. He talks to strangers, too;winks at college girls, and flirts with beautifulwomen. Anyone who has met Carlos seems toremember the friendly, disheveled, out-going man.He speaks in various accents and languages. His

Spanish is refined and intelligent. Few people know


8/14

that Carlos Allende -- legally born Carl Allen inKensington, Pennsylvania -- is a mystery to readersand authors all over the world.

"I have been in Greeley off and on now for overthirty years. It is one of my favorite cities in theworld," he said. "It is a farm town, people are closeto the land, and the town is filled with farmers --people whom I enjoy. Farmers are my own people,I was a farm boy, and though I have sailed theworld, I am a farm boy at heart, and always havebeen. But also, Greeley is quiet, and the rent isreasonable," he said.

The Enigmatic Allende Letter[presented "as is" so as not to lose any of the original flavour]My Dear Dr. Jessup,

Dr. Morris K.JessupYour invocation to the Public that they move en Masse upon their Representativesand have thusly enough Pressure placed at the right & sufficient Number of Placeswhere from a Law demanding Research into Dr. Albert Eienstiens Unified FieldTheory May be enacted (1925-1927) is Not at all Necessary. It May Intrest you toknow that The Good Doctor Was Not so Much influenced in his retraction of thatWork, by Mathematics, as he most assuredly was by Humantics.

His Later computations, done strictly for his own edification & amusement, uponcycles of Human Civilization & Progress compared to the Growth of Mans Generalover-all Character Was enough to Horrify Him. Thus, we are told today that theTheory was "Incomplete."

Dr. B. Russell asserts privately that It is complete. He also says that Man is NotReady for it & Shan't be until after W.W. 111. Nevertheless, "Results" of My friendDr. Franklin Reno, were used. These Were a complete Recheck of That Theory,With a View to any & Every Possible quick use of it, if feasible in a Very short time.There Were good Results, as far as a Group Math Re-Check AND as far as a goodPhysical "Result," to Boot. YET, THE NAVY FEARS TO USE THIS RESULT. TheResult was & stands today as Proof that The Unified Field Theory to a certain extent

is correct. Beyond that certain extent No Person in his right senses, or having anysenses at all, Will evermore dare to go.

I am sorry that I Mislead You in My Previous Missive. True, enough, such a form ofLevitation has been accomplished as described. It is also a Very commonlyobserved reaction of certain Metals to Certain Fields surrounding a current, Thisfield being used for that purpose. Had Farraday concerned himself about the Mag.field surrounding an Electric Current, We today Would NOT exist or if We did exist,

our present Geo-Political situation would have the very timebombish, ticking offtowards Destruction, atmosphere that Now exists. Alright, Alright! The .result" wascomplete invisibility of a ship, Destroyer type, and all of its crew, While at Sea. (Oct.1943)

The Field Was effective in an oblate spheroidal shape, extending one hundred yards(More or Less, due to Lunar position and Latitude) out from each beam of the ship.

Any Person Within that sphere became vague in form BUT He too observed thosePersons aboard that ship as though they too were of the same state, yet werewalking upon nothing. Any person without that sphere could see Nothing save theclearly Defined shape of the Ships Hull in the Water. PROVIDING of course, thatthat person was just close enough to see yet, just barely outside of that field.

Why tell you Now? Very Simple; If you choose to go Mad, then you would reveal thisinformation. Half of the officiers and the crew of that Ship are at Present, Mad asHatters. A few are even Yet confined to certain areas where they may receivetrained Scientific aid when they, either, "Go Blank" or "Go Blank" & Get Stuck."Going-Blank [an after effect of the Man having been within the field too Much, IS Notat all an unplesant expierence to Healthily Curious Sailors. However it is when also,they "Get Stuck" that they call it "HELL INCORPORATED". The Man thusly strickencan Not Move of his own volition unless one or More of those who are within thefield go & touch him, quickly, else he "Freezes".

If a Man Freezes, His position Must be Marked out carefully and then the Field iscut-off, Everyone but that "Frozen" Man is able to Move; to appreciate apparentSolidity again. Then, the Newest Member of the crew Must approach the Spot,

where he will find the "Frozen" Mans face or Bare skin, that is Not covered by usualuniform Clothing. Sometimes, It takes only an hour or so Sometimes all Night & allDay Long & Worse It once took 6 months, to get the Man "Unfrozen". This "DeepFreeze" was not psycological It is a Result of a Hyper-Field that is set up, within thefield of the Body, While the "Scorch" Field is turned on & this at Length or upon aOld Hand.

A Highly complicated Piece of Equipment Had to be constructed in order toUnfreeze those who became "True Froze" or "Deep Freeze" subjects. Usually a"Deep Freeze" Man goes Mad, Stark Raving, Gibbering, Running MAD, if His"freeze" is far More than a Day in our time.

I speak of TIME for DEEP "Frozen Men" are Not aware of Time as We know it, They

are Like Semi-comatoese person, who Live, breathe, Look & feel but still areunaware of So Utterly Many things as to constitute a "Nether World" to them. A Manin an ordinary common Freeze is aware of Time, sometimes acutely so. Yet Theyare Never aware of Time precisely as you and I are aware of it. The First "DeepFreeze" As I said took 6 months to Rectify. It also took over 5 Million Dollars worthof Electronic equipment & a Special Ship Berth. If around or Near the PhiladelphiaNavy Yard you see a group of Sailors in the act of Putting their Hands upon a fellowor upon "thin air", observe the Digits & appendages of the Stricken Man. If theyseem to Waver, as tho within a Heat-Mirage, go quickly & Put YOUR Hands uponHim, For that Man is The Very Most Desperate of Men in The World. Not one ofthose Men ever want at all to become again invisible. I do Not think that Much MoreNeed be said as to Why Man is Not Ready for Force-Field Work, Eh?

You Will Hear phrases from these Men such as "Caught in the Flow (or the Push) or"Stuck in the Green" or "Stuck in Molasses" or "I was "going" FAST", These Refer to


10/14

Some of the Decade-Later after effects of Force-Field Work. "Caught in the Flow"Describes exactly the "Stuck in Molasses" sensation of a Man going into a "DeepFreeze" or Plain Freeze" either of the two. "Caught in the Push" can either refer toThat Which a Man feels Briefly WHEN he is either about to inadvertently "Go-Blank"[Become Invisible" or about to "Get Stuck' in a "Deep Freeze" or "Plain Freeze."]

There are only a few of the original Expierimental Crew Left by Now, Sir. Most wentinsane, one just walked "throo" His quarters Wall in sight of His Wife & Child & 2other crew Members (WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN), two " Went into "The Flame,"I.E. They "Froze" & Caught fire, while carrying common Small-Boat Compasses,one Man carried the compass & Caught fire, the other came for the "Laying on ofHands" as he was the nearest but he too, took fire. THEY BURNED FOR 18 DAYS.The faith in "Hand Laying" Died When this Happened & Mens Minds Went by thescores. The experiment Was a Complete Success. The Men were CompleteFailures.

A Regional Philadelphia Newspaper Article

Strange Circumstances Surround Tavern BrawlOctober 1943

Several city police officers responding to a call to aid members of the Navy Shore Patrol in breakingup a tavern brawl near the U.S. Navy docks here last night got something of a surprise when theyarrived on the scene to find the place empty of customers. According to a pair of very nervouswaitresses, the Shore Patrol had arrived first and cleared the place out -- but not before two of thesailors involved allegedly did a disappearing act. "They just vanished into thin air ... right there,"reported one of the frightened hostesses, "and I ain't been drinking either!" At that point, according toher account, the Shore Patrol proceeded to hustle everyone out of the place in short order.

A subsequent chat with the local police precinct left no doubts as to the fact that some sort ofgeneral brawl had indeed occurred in the vicinity of the dockyards at about eleven o'clock last night,

but neither confirmation nor denial of the stranger aspects of the story could be immediatelyobtained. One reported witness succinctly summed up the affair by dismissing it as nothing more


11/14

than "A lot of hooey from them daffy dames down there." Who, he went on to say, were just lookingfor some free publicity.

Damage to the tavern was estimated to be in the vicinity of six hundred dollars.

More on the Dynamic Duo of Jessup 'n AllendeJanuary 13, 1956

The "mysterious" Allende letters are noteworthy mainly because of their prominence in the UFOliterature. The mystery surrounding them arose in 1956, when an annotated copy of Morris K.Jessup's book, "The Case for the UFO" arrived at the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). Itlooked as though three men (named Mr. A, Mr. B., and Jemi) had passed the book back and forthamong them, adding notes to Jessup's text. Jessup also reported that he had received severalletters from one Carlos Allende (alias Carl M. Allen) over a period of months.

The letters and notations seemed to indicate that the writers had some special knowledge of UFOsand alien cultures beyond that of any government on Earth.

The merits of the Allende letters and notations have been argued since that time. Books have beendevoted to the subject, and dozens of articles have been written about them. UFO researchers haveinvestigated the case; and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) staff membershave met Allende. Many say that Allende knew a great deal about UFOs, while others say that hewas involved in an elaborate and useless hoax.

The story, as it is usually told, begins with the book, "The Case for the UFO," arriving at the ONR.Some claim that the Navy, after reading the notations, became very interested and contactedJessup. By this time, Jessup had already received the Allende letters. Curiously, the first (of four

letters) is dated January 13, 1956, exactly one year after Jessup "signed" the introduction to hisbook.

The Navy, according to many UFO-authors, requested and received permission to reproduce thebook in a limited edition of twenty-five copies. The notations were printed in red, and the original textin black. All letters sent by Allende (including those signed: Carl M. Allen) were included as anappendix.

During the next several years, the Navy is supposed to have spent time, money, and a great deal ofeffort researching the incident. Navy investigators reportedly looked for Allende but never found him.The book had been mailed from Seminole, Texas, one letter from Gainesville, Texas, and anotherfrom DuBois, Pennsylvania. After checking all the addresses and following dozens of leads, so thestory goes, Allende eluded them.

The letters were intriguing. They told of a Navy experiment based on Einstein's Unified Field Theory.During World War II, the Navy was supposed to have successfully teleported a warship, the S.S.

Andrew Furnseth, from its dock in Philadelphia to a dock in the Norfold-Newport New-Portsmoutharea and back again. The teleportation, which took only a few minutes, was allegedly witnessed by

Allende, a member of the crew; he claimed that a brief article about it appeared in a Philadelphianewspaper. Unfortunately, he could not remember the date, so that a copy of that issue could not belocated.

Although the teleportation was a success, according to Allende, one half of the crew was lost duringthe experiment and the rest suffered a variety of strange side effects. Some were "mad as hatters,"while others would "go blank" or "get stuck." He said they would seem to disappear or "freeze" onthe spot. Their position had to be marked, and other members of the crew had to step around the

mark.


12/14

Fellow crew members, when they saw a sailor "freeze," would rush forward and "lay their hands" onthe stricken man. The laying on of hands was the cure for the freeze, but the men quickly lost faith init. One sailor "froze," and a friend ran forward to lay on the hands. Allende says, "possibly becauseof the metal on him, he began to smoulder. Both men burned for 18 days."

The notes added to Jessup's book were no less confusing. Terms like "mother ship," "great war,"

and "sheets of diamonds" were used. It was explained how, why, and what happens to the men,ships, and planes that have disappeared. They seemed to explain many things that no one hadbeen able to solve. Therefore, some UFO investigators thought that the Allende letters might providea solution for the UFO problem.

Some claim that a study was completed 1by the Navy but is highly classified and will never bereleased. One man even claimed that his entire Allende letter file was mysteriously destroyed by fire.References in several published articles made it clear that a private researcher could not see thebook. But, somehow, some of the investigators were apparently obtaining everything from copies ofthe Allende letters to complete copies of the annotated books.

In 1970, the writer wrote to the Chief of Naval Operations to request a copy of the book. The Navyreplied quickly, saying that they had no copies, but that the book had been reproduced by the Varo

Manufacturing Company of Garland, Texas. It was possible, they said, that Varo might still havecopies, and suggested that the writer write to them. The writer was living near Fort Worth, at thetime, and called Varo to ask about the Allende letters. The secretary knew what he was talking aboutand put him through to one Sidney Sherby.

Sherby told the writer that he had been at the ONR during the Allende "era." There had been copiesmade but not as part of any official Navy project. Sherby revealed what had transpired at ONR whenthe annotated version of Jessup's book first arrived. Sherby said, first of all, that no one thereexpressed any excitement, as many have been led to believe. One researcher pointed out thatsending the book to the Navy was ridiculous. The Navy would either throw it out or classify it.

Apparently, according to Sherby, they wanted to throw it out. That, of course, is the first departurefrom the traditional lore of the Allende letters; time after time, UFO writers have claimed that theremust be something to the mystery because the Navy was so interested.

Since Sherby's statement discredited so many theories, the writer pursued it further. It turned outthat ONR members acting on their own had been interested in the book. The Navy had no objectionif they wanted to go to the trouble and expense of reproducing it. The only stipulation was that itcould not be done on Navy time, and it could not involve Navy funds. It boiled down to this: Membersof ONR did the work; the fact that they were employed by the Navy shadowed them. Jessup's book,along with the annotations and the Allende letters, was reproduced by Naval officers, on their owntime and with their own funds.

Some UFO researchers have followed the Allende letter, not because there was good information inthem, but because they knew Jessup, and were intrigued by the fact that Jessup eventually thoughtthere was something to them. At least, toward the end of his life. Jessup began to accept the lettersas something valuable and important. But, he may have had other reasons for his belief in Allende.

One man reported that Jessup was upset by his career. He had been trained as an astronomer, andthough successful for a while, he eventually became entangled in a number of other affairs so thathis pursuit of astronomy suffered. He was also involved in a business in Washington, and that iswhere he became interested in UFOs. His job did not require a great deal of time, and he began toread books on the subject. Only a few were in print at that time, so he began to write his own. Theresult was "The Case for the UFO."

The book was relatively successful. Jessup made some money, but not enough to warrant hiswriting full time. Other books followed, but they did not have the success of his first. This wasanother professional disappointment for him.

Later, in 1958, Jessup decided to go into the publishing business himself. He planned an expeditionto Mexico to search for proof that UFOs were real and planned a book to follow the expedition. Butthe expedition, and hence the book idea, fell through. All this compounded the disappointments he

felt. Finally, almost in desperation, Jessup began to talk about and study the annotated ONR bookand the Allende letters, and a number of his friends became interested in them.

The search for the solution came to an end on April 29, 1959, when Jessup was found dead in aDade County, Florida, park. Writers have speculated about his death, an apparent suicide. Somethough that he had come too close to the truth and was murdered.

Ivan T. Sanderson, world-famous naturalist and writer about UFOs, placed some emphasis on theAllende letters, because he had known Jessup personally. Sanderson told others about Jessup'sbelief, and he included sections about the letters in one of his UFO books. And so, Sanderson'sclaims, founded on his friendship with Jessup, have become another support, attaching a falseimportance to the Allende letters. One might ask: "If there is nothing to them, why did Jessup, andlater Sanderson, place such emphasis on them?" Now, there are answers to those questions.

In the years that followed, more researchers began to write the Allende letters off as a hoax, whileothers continued to research them. Writers made references about researchers "somehow"obtaining copies of the book. They implied that the books were difficult to find. The writer had noproblem. Sherby mentioned that the copy he had was the last of five that he had been given. But, ifthe writer had some way to run a photostatic copy of the book, or if he wanted to borrow it to make

notes, Sherby had no objections. Everyone was open and cooperative.

There had been so many rumors on the subject that the writer contacted APRO to see if they hadanything new on Allende. Jim Lorenzen, the International Director, wrote back, stating that Allendehad been to Tucson and confessed the whole thing. "He (Allende) was on his way to Denver,Colorado, suffering from what he believed to be a terminal illness. He stopped by APROheadquarters here in Tucson and, after talking to us for hours, admitted that he had made up thewhole thing. We even obtained a signed statement by him saying that it was a hoax." It is interestingto note that Allende, who produced identification documents, had with him, at the time, a copy of theVaro reproduction of the annotated book.

Lorenzen asked Allende why he had faked the letters. His answer was: "Because Jessup's writingsscared me," he said. "I didn't want him to write anymore and this was the only thing that I could think

of." Before Allende left, he asked Lorenzen if he could leave some of his personal belongings atAPRO. In Denver, he managed to be "cured;" he returned to Tucson, picked up his baggage andreturned home to Mexico.

It has been said that dozens of Allendes have come forward, trying to cash in on the original's fame.One researcher claims that the real Allende lives in Mexico, and that there are various documentsshowing his name as Allende. He did not have to go to all the trouble. Apparently, his Allende andthe one who visited Tucson are the same. In Tucson, Allende admitted the hoax. Now, supposedly,he is trying to take back everything he said.

However, even with Allende's confession, Sherby's story, the lack of the Philadelphia newspaperarticle, and the failure by anyone to collaborate anything that Allende said, the controversycontinues. Some writers still claim that it is the key to the UFO problem, and some researchers are

still trying to "track down" the books.

A standard dodge used by some "researchers," when the evidence of their favorite case breaksapart and vanishes in the light of good research, is to scream "cover-up." Even though the writer hasfound evidence of cover-ups in connection with some aspects of the UFO mystery, he found none inconnection with the Allende letters. The annotated book was made available; Sherby answered allquestions satisfactorily; and there is the confession in Tucson. The thing should have died with theconfession.

The Allende letters were not the key to anything. They had only confused the issue with clouds oflies and fables. Serious researchers have wasted a great deal of effort studying them.

The big question about why the Navy would waste valuable time on them has been answered too.

They didn't.
