On the Trail of the Saucer Spies [Book]

On the Trail of the Saucer Spies reveals that Government, Military and Intelligence agencies have been secretly spying on UFO researchers, writers, investigators, and witnesses for decades -- and for countless reasons. In this book Nick Redfern also recounts his own experience of being spied upon by the British Ministry of Defense for his interest in UFOs. It isn't paranoia if you think "they" are watching you: they really are!

In 1992 in a privately published paper titled “Have You Checked
Your File Lately?” Robert Durant, a UFO researcher and pilot,
discussed the theme of an all-encompassing, Government-
sanctioned-and-controlled operation designed to covertly monitor
the activities of the public UFO research community:

“You, the reader, are among the approximately 4,000 Americans
who subscribe to ufological journals or newsletters, buy UFO books
through the mail, attend conferences, or spend time with others who
engage in such activities. Not a large group. We are only 3 percent of
the total number of citizens the government admits to watching with
intense care. A very easy group to track. Building your file is so much
easier than compiling one on a Russian spy or a Mafioso. There is
a file on you at the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security
Administration, the driver’s license bureau of the state in which you
are licensed, the commercial credit card companies that do business
with your bank and your lenders, your doctor’s office, and so forth
and so on. Is it really unreasonable to suspect that a UFO file would
be created?”

The answer to Durant’s question is: it is not at all unreasonable
to suspect that such a scenario exists. Indeed, as On the Trail of the
Saucer Spies demonstrates, such a scenario most assuredly does exist.
This book does not attempt to answer in detail the complex questions
of what UFOs are, where they are from, or why there are here—there are countless titles available that focus upon these controversial issues.
Rather, it resolves the seldom-addressed questions of precisely why
and how the official world is keeping a close watch on those
individuals who engage in UFO research, or who are witnesses to
UFO activity.

The truth-is-weirder-than-fiction examples recounted in these pages
span more than half a century, and include all of the staple
ingredients of the most controversial aspects of the UFO puzzle:
crashed flying saucers, alien bodies held in cryogenic storage, black
helicopters, crop circles, alien abductions (by alleged aliens and by
elements of the military), underground bases, animal mutilations,
Government-sponsored disinformation campaigns, and even the
exploits of the nefarious Men in Black.

As will become apparent, however, the full story also incorporates
issues and organizations that—at first glance, at least—would appear
to be totally unrelated to the UFO mystery. Ultra-fascist political
organizations, the Irish Republican Army, communist-based
groups, animal rights activists, computer hackers, Chinese Military
Intelligence, and the North Korean Government ultimately prove
to be pivotal to both understanding and unravelling the full picture
of why a number of Governments take such a deep interest in the
activities of those who look skyward. Caveat lector: keep a close
watch over your shoulder. “They” may be watching you, too.
