Information on Milton William Cooper
**In the last several years, few have stirred the field of UFOlogy
like Milton William Cooper. Cooper, born May 6, 1943 is a balding
47 year old man, who has enthralled thousands with lurid tales of
dangerous UFOs and secret government treaties allowing the alien
menace to abduct and experiment on unwilling human victims in
exchange for advanced alien technology. Raining threats and
pronouncements over the UFO field like a continuously firing
shotgun, Cooper has recently leveled charges of government spookery
against almost every UFOlogist in the field, and in many cases
claimed to have seen the names on a list back in 1972 and 1973
while purportedly serving in Naval Intelligence in CINCPACFLT.
Leveling charges at former friends and associates, Cooper has
charged various UFOlogists with illegal acts, moral turpitude and
charges of UFOlogists purveying disinformation that permeate the
field. Cooper, now with an agent to book speaking engagements at
any and every UFO event possible, is very fond of stating "don't
take my word for it, go out and check the information yourself".
UFO Magazine has, and the following is the result of our
investigation.
Who is M. Wm. "Bill" Cooper, and where did he come from? Cooper's
first public appearence resulted when he uploaded a text on
Paranet, the international computer data service. The file alleges
a fantastic sighting of a UFO while Cooper was a crewmember of the
USS TIRU, a United States Naval Submarine, in 1966. According to
Cooper, the sighting took place while he was on duty as the port
lookout. Claiming that the sub's skipper immediatly classified the
incident, Cooper reported that when the submarine reached port, the
witnesses were debriefed by Naval Security. During this time frame,
John O. Lear, son of William "Bill" Lear of Lear Jet fame, had also
been undergoing Paranet scrutiny as a result of the release of his
hypothesis concerning an alien threat. Lear's document had been
released in December of 1987, and had created quite an uproar in
its own right. Lear alledged that the United States Government had
entered into a relationship with possible ET intelligence and in
exchange for super technology, gave carte blanche to the ETs to
conduct experiments and abductions on unsuspecting human beings.
Lear claimed that in addition, the ETs, with our governments
knowledge, were mutilating domestic animals such as cattle and
sheep, and in some cases even humans were the victims. Because much
of Lears information was a hypothesis, and little checkable
information was forthcoming, many of the Paranet members were
asking very hard questions, and then in a number of instances,
attacked Lears creditbility. Cooper allied himself with Lear when
he again visited the Paranet system with the claim that he had just
been terminated from his $75000.00 a year job as the Executive
Director of a School.
In October of 1988, Cooper contacted this writer via Paranet with
the request of a favor. Telling me at that time that "this is
dangerous if anyone finds out", he asked me to accept the
electronic transfer of a file into my computer, to be sent to
Stanton Friedman with the information of who wanted Friedman to see
it. The document included information about MAJI, MJ-1, THE BLUE
TEAM, GRUDGE, and according to Cooper various other alledged secret
government projects dealing with the alien presence. Agreeing to
send the information to Friedman, (I never heard anymore about this
until later when Cooper was barred from Paranet because of claims
of feeding false and fraudulent information) I basically forgot
about this information until Cooper released additional files
claiming that this was the final release. There were several
"final" releases, for example in one Cooper claimed "MJ-12 is the
name of the secret control group... The JASON SOCIETY to sift
through all the facts, evidence, technology, lies and deception..."
and in another that "MJ-12 CANNOT BE USED AS A NAME FOR THE CONTROL
GROUP AS IT WOULD CAUSE CONFUSION IN MEANING, i.e. IS IT REFERING
TO MJ-12 THE PERSON OR MJ-12 THE GROUP..." By this time I was
becoming confused with the various "final releases". In another
release Cooper claimed that "Project Luna" was an alien base on the
far side of the Moon and it was observed by various Astronauts, but
then one more "final release" he stated that it was the code name
for an underground base in Nevada near Dulce, New Mexico.
In the later releases are a number of names that were never
mentioned in earlier releases. Names such as JOSHUA, and O.H. KRLL,
or KRLLL, or CRLL, CRLLL, or even KRILL. This proves to be very
important as the later investigation will show, when it comes to
answering whether these claims will bear up under serious scrutiny.
Cooper later claimed that the reason the documents were "different"
was that he wanted to throw the government off his trail until
someone would verify that what he said was the truth, and that "it
does not matter who is wrong or right and who is wrong or if a
project name is in the wrong place. ... we must all band together
and expose it now."
As time progressed Cooper severed all ties with other researchers
in the UFO field. Once a very close confident of John Lear, Cooper
has turned on Lear and has accused Lear of being an agent of the
Central Intelligence Agency. In months past, Cooper was a star
guest on the "Billy Goodman Happening" broadcast from KVEG in Las
Vegas. Another alledged former government employee, physicist
Robert "Bob" Lazar, appeared on the Goodman radio show, and Cooper
was lavish in his praise of Lazars willingness to come forward to
expose the cosmic secret. Now, Lazar like Lear is suffering Coopers
allegations of being an intelligence disinformation purveyor.
Cooper now is operating an electronic bulletin board service, the
CITIZEN'S AGENCY For JOINT INTELLIGENCE (CAJI). In the last two
electronic newsletters, Cooper has leveled charges against numerous
people in the UFO community. When anyone challenges him, Cooper
will once more blast the questioners as "agents of the secret
government." In the previous edition of his newsletter, Cooper
charged that Bob Lazar, the "self claimed physicist who worked on
saucers, was arrested today for participation in one of Las Vegas'
prostitution rings. He was also accused of running a drug lab which
manufactures methamphetamine." Additional charges included naming
Lear and Lazar as being a member of a "ring" of government agents
that "include the greats of UFOlogy". Cooper named Bruce Maccabee,
Lear, Lazar, William Moore, Jaime Shandera, Stanton Friedman, and
other unnamed at that time. Cooper left the impression with that
document that the others would include whom ever questioned his
sources, information or allegations. Cooper also claimed that
Stacey Borland, who led a Las Vegas Contactee Group was murdered
after she sponsered a talk with Budd Hopkins, and also received a
document from a man who reportedly worked a "DREAMLAND". Also
claimed in the Cooper CAJI newsletter was that John Grace, a still
active duty Air Force NCO took over the contactee group, and when
the investigation was started, the list of the contactee group and
the sign in sheet from Hopkins talk was missing. Serious
allegations if true, so UFO immediately contacted George Knapp of
KLAS TV in Las Vegas. Hopkins was in Las Vegas weeks after Borland
and her brother were found dead. Borland's boyfriend was the
initial suspect, but was cleared quickly by the Las Vegas Police.
The search then centered on a 24 year old suspect, William Mitchell
Smith, also known as William "Bo" Stevens. No UFO involvement at
all was discovered by police. According to George Knapp in a now
public letter to Michael Corbin, director of Paranet "Bill Cooper
wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ass.... a secret
organization is highly unlikely. Moore (Bill) and Lear can't stand
each other. Moore and Friedman have tried to contact Lazar thru me
on several occasions...." Then Knapp relayed "Some of the
individuals have provided me with proof of Cooper's dishonesty,
proof that will be made public in the near future". Knapp was true
to his word. In part 5 of the KLAS second UFO special just recently
run by Knapp's TV station, Knapp pointed out one such occurance
where serious questions about Coopers information were raised.
According to Cooper, in his purported viewing of a top secret
government document in 1972-1973- he viewed information about O.H.
Krill, which according to Cooper stood for "Original Hostage
Krill".
The problem with Cooper's claim, however, comes from the two people
involved in the O.H. Krill document. The origin of the
controversial document has been known for some time in the UFO
field. Conceived by UFO researcher John Grace, who heads the Nevada
Aerial Research organization and uses the pseudonym "Val Valerian,"
the title was chosen as an inside joke, according to both Lear and
Grace. While being interviewed by UFO Magazine, Lear stated that he
heard Cooper tell a television interviewer that he (Cooper) had
seen the O.H. Krill document back in the early 70's. Lear turned
"beet red," he said, and motioned for Cooper to speak to him
privately. Lear told Cooper, "Bill, O.H. Krill is a joke! John
Grace and I used "KRILL" from Bob Emenegger's special "UFOs: It Has
Begun", because of a women who allegedly channeled an enity named
CRYLLL. Grace just pulled the O. H. out of thin air!" According to
Lear, Cooper flatly disagreed, saying, "No, I saw it in 1972." Lear
said, "I dropped it then. I could see that there was no talking to
him. I then began to wonder just how much of Bill Cooper was real."
Lear was then asked about Cooper's allegation in the most recent
edition of CAJI, that Bob Lazar was "arrested for prostitution" and
is now facing narcotic's violations. Lear stated, "It's all
fabrication and fantasy." Knapp said "There is no truth to the
allegation that Lazar has been arrested. Lazar admitted on TV that
he set up software for a bordello that was subsquently closed by
police, but as of this point, no charges have been filed at all."
With respect to the charge of drug manufacture, Cooper stated that
he received the information from John Lear, and he also named two
additional UFO buffs, a Cory Testa and Geoff Graff. Testa was
shocked at the allegation that Lear told him Lazar was facing drug
violations. Testa stated, "I still believe that he (Lazar) is real
and John Lear never said anything like that." Testa later called
back and stated "I just called Bill Cooper and he denied that he
said that I said anything to him about Lazar." The paragraph was
read to him four times and he responded sadly, "You know, I am just
a guy who is really interested in UFOs, and I never wanted to get
involved in anything like this. Why would Bill say I said something
like that?" Testa then stated that Cooper claimed to him that Lear
was the famous Condor from William Moores avairy. Testa then
stated that "everyone I was associated with, Cooper claimed that
they were a government agent."
William "Bill" Moore was called to get his reaction to the stated
claims that John Lear was the shadowy agent "Condor", and he
responded with "I usually do not comment on someone that I consider
to be mentally ill, but it is not true that Lear is Condor".
Moore was then advised that in the CAJI newsletter Cooper made the
claim that the tape of Condor was placed in voice analysis, and
that he had unscrambled it, proving that Lear was Condor. Moore
laughed and stated "There is nothing to undo, nothing to
unscramble. Jaime and I masked Condors voice through a vocoder. The
vocoder is a device that the sound source is run through a mike,
then to a sound source sending it to a voice envolope to a vocoder.
Nothing of the human qualitys are left to unscramble."
When Moore was asked about the additional claims of his being
identified as a government operative he stated "It is absolutly
false. You know, I am getting tired of all these accusations,
Cooper is always wrapping himself up in the flag and constitution,
what ever happened to the basic right of being innocent until
proven guilty? You know, I have never spoken to Cooper or had as
much as a single correspondence with him." Moore stated then that
he had been given a copy of the CAJI newsletter, had just read it,
and was amazed at the contents. I then mentioned to him that in the
newsletter, Cooper had stated that he had seen Moores name, along
with Stanton Friedman, John Lear and Bruce Maccabee on a list of
agents to be recruited in 1972. He also claimed that Bob Swan, a
service friend was also informed of this back in 1972. When Swan
was questioned by Linda Howe and Tony Pelham among others about
what he remembered, Swan stated for the record that really the only
thing he remembered was something to do with UFOs. Since I was
aware that Moore did not really come into the UFO scene with any
great splash until The Roswell Incident, I asked him what he was
doing in 1972 that would have brought him to the governments
attention. He responded that in 1972 he was teaching at the Herman
Community Schools, Independent District 264, in Herman, Mn. Moore
taught there from the Fall of 1969 until the Spring of 1979. Along
with the teaching, Moore was active in the teachers union, #32
Local. It would appear he would be very unlikely for a government
recuitment to the intelligence services then.
Cooper stated in the CAJI newsletter that "No one likes to be a
fool but most UFOlogists are exactly that. I keep saying to DO
RESEARCH, TO INVESTIGATE, but no one does it. They just sit around
and CALL EACH OTHER NAMES." When I, representing UFO Magazine
attempted to call Cooper to verify his claims, I ended up leaving
a message on his computer service. I had not spoken to Cooper for
close to a year and had no way to get his home phone number. Cooper
read the message and called about an hour later. Answering the
telephone Cooper stated "What the hell do you want!?" I then
attempted to explain that I was doing a story for UFO Magazine and
wanted to verify his claims. Cooper stated "What are you writing
for your ****en trashzine?" I then said that I had recieved a copy
of the CAJI newsletter and he replied "I would be very careful if
I was you, that newsletter is copyrighted."
Cooper then stated "I don't trust you or anyone you are associated
with." The only reference I was able to get concerned the
allegation that Bob Lazar ran a speed lab. "John Lear told me that
out of his own mouth... I got the information from a man named Cory
and Geoff who are good friends of John Lear." Just at that time the
phone rang with the call waiting feature, and Cooper refused to
hold till I could find out who called. He hung up and refused to
speak any further. This seemed out of character for a person that
felt that their information was legitiment.
I next spoke to Bob Lazar. Lazar was burned out at the UFO field by
this time, and it really doesn't take much to understand why. I
asked Lazar if he had been arrested and charged with any crimes,
and as of this date, no charges have been filed. The involvment
with prostitution came as a result of Lazar selling a computer to
the alledged bordello, and writing a software program for cash
recieved. When asked about a drug lab, Lazar explained his research
lab and various scientific equipment that he has there. "The
"speed" might be explained by my work with hi-tech jet cars" he
stated. "Cooper is an intelligent man, and the two times I've seen
him, well I hate to call someone a psychopath but he really acts
crazy. He seems to believe a lot of what he says to the point he
will fight about them and get violent." "You mean", I countered,
that he will get physically violent?" "Yes, on the only two
occasions I have seen him, and there was usually liquor involved,
not beer or anything, but liquor, he will get violent. I walked in
on something with my sister-in-law, ... after a brief time talking
to Cooper, he got up screaming and throwing stuff around, he was a
lunatic." Another charge leveled by Cooper alledged that Lear, once
in the company of Cooper and several others, claimed Lear called
Lazar up to send a hooker over to Lears home. Lazar stated that
"thats absurd, and why its absurd is my involvement with the
bordello was in January of 1990. It mainly involved some electronic
work and setting up software. When I saw Cooper was long before
that, and in either case I would not be the guy anyone called. I
had no connections to get anyone. I deny his whole allegation.
"Everyone seems to have a Bill Cooper story, and mine is a paper I
wrote in Los Alamos concerning Project Excalibur. I wrote that in
1988, I had a witness there while I typed that word for word. I
printed that out, Lear was hot on the trail looking for
connections, and that filled everything, he essentially had all the
information that was to be had. John then gave a copy to Bill
Cooper and I heard Cooper reading that verbatium, word for word at
the MUFON convention. He claimed to have seen it in the mid-70s. I
then heard him on Billy Goodman show. I called him, he recognized
the voice. He said he knew who I was. I then asked him, Bill that
Excalibur missle thing, did you get that at John Lears or did you
read that in the 70's. I gave him an out if he had forgotten. He
said no, "I read that word for word in 1973". I said okay and
thanks. That was my first confirmation that this guy was a complete
liar. I had just typed that in 1988. The witness that saw me type
this was Gene Huff."
