反面說法出來了，各位看倌自行判斷吧。不過這位Emspak先生的說法也沒有任何引證，只 是單純敘述而已，要說能完全推翻這份報告恐怕也未必。 --------------------------------------- http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/110413/4/2ppsc.html FBI幽浮檔案解密？一場烏龍啦 更新日期:2011/04/13 03:00 陳文和／綜合報導 中國時報【陳文和／綜合報導】 近日英國八卦小報帶頭熱炒所謂美國聯邦調查局備忘錄證實外星人曾造訪地球的「新聞」 ，但美國資深科學記者殷斯帕（Jesse Emspak）深入調查後發現，其實這是冷飯熱炒的烏 龍事件，相信確有其事者都被一個近六十年前的騙局愚弄了。 殷斯帕的專文（ http://in.ibtimes.com/articles/132868/20110411/fbi-hottel-memo-reveals-ufo-hoax.htm ）揭露，這條新聞的依據「霍特爾備忘錄」（Hottel Memo）雖然係由聯調局特工霍特爾 撰寫，也呈交當時聯調局長胡佛過目，但從未被列為機密檔案，許多媒體多年前就曾引述 。 聯調局上星期新設立的線上公共檔案閱覽室「資料庫」（The Vault），這份備忘錄也被 收錄，因此才再度為人注意，讓小報見獵心喜。 更糟的是，備忘錄中的情節是多手傳播的道聽途說，告訴霍特爾的人則是某位「空軍調查 人員」，此人則是從自己的線民聽說而來。而追根究柢，訊息的源頭是兩個騙徒紐頓（ Silas Newton）與葛鮑爾（Leo Gebauer）。 這兩個金光黨當年到處兜售一種宣稱可以探尋石油、天然氣和黃金等珍貴礦藏的神奇機器 「蟻獅」（doodlebug），誇口說技術是源自外星人的科技，並謊稱一九四八年三月有一 架飛碟墜毀在美國新墨西哥州的阿茲泰克（Aztec）。 殷斯帕說，科羅拉多州丹佛市的富豪葛拉德（Herman Glader）當年被紐頓和葛鮑爾騙倒 ，憤而控告兩人詐欺。結果紐頓與葛鮑爾在一九五三年遭法庭判決有罪。 就算要拿霍特爾備忘錄大作文章，也與一九四七年六月的「羅斯威爾飛碟事件」毫不相干 。兩者人事時地物都不相同，只因後者遠較出名，英國《太陽報》與《每日郵報》才硬將 兩者牽拖在一起，目的顯然只是聳人聽聞。 By Jesse Emspak | April 11, 2011 7:51 PM IST FBI "Hottel Memo" Reveals UFO Hoax The infamous "Hottel memo" was posted on several sites, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation's "vault." It was touted as "newly revealed" this week. The memo supposedly confirms that alien ships landed in the U.S. in the late 1940s and the information was covered up. But in fact the infamous memo has been making the rounds for several years. (It was never classified). The "vault" is simply a newer system put in place by the FBI over the past week to make accessing documents easier. The memo describes what was told to an FBI agent, Guy Hottel, who was the special agent in charge of the Washington field office. It describes an "air force investigator" who described finding a crashed craft in New Mexico, and also said that alien bodies were found in it. Hottel only reports what the unnamed informant says, not what his own conclusions are. The informant says that the craft was disabled by "high powered radar" in the area. EMAIL PRINT TEXT SIZE: SHARE RATE: +14 -6 Not only is the information not first-hand and far removed from New Mexico, it is connected to a 60-year-old hoax that resulted in a conviction for fraud. The memo was the end of a long chain of tale-telling. The Hottel memo repeats a story from the Wyandotte Echo, a legal newspaper in Kansas City, Kansas in January of 1950, which was repeated to Guy Hottel by an Air Force investigator who read the story (and pasted into a memo himself. Such practices were common in the days before scanning documents was possible and memos had to be typed out). That news story draws from the account of a Rudy Fick, a local used car dealer. Fick got the story from a two men, I. J. Van Horn and Jack Murphy, who said they got the story from a man named "Coulter" - actually a radio station advertising manager named George Koehler. Koehler got the story from Silas Newton. The hoax begins with Newton and his accomplice, Leo A. Gebauer. Newton and Gebauer were peddling "doodlebugs" -- devices that could supposedly find oil, gas, gold, or anything else that the target of the con was interested in finding. In an interview in 2003 for a documentary called The Other Side of Truth, written and directed by Paul Kimball, the late Karl Pflock, a UFO researcher, described the original hoax that led to the Hottel memo. Pflock notes that the difference between Newton and Gebauer's con and many others that preceded it was they said their doodlebugs were better because they were based on alien technology. The two men told Frank Scully, a columnist for Variety, about the UFO crash. There were no other witnesses (local newspaper accounts don't show anything for the relevant dates). Scully claimed in his book that Newton and Gebauer told him the military had taken the craft for secret research. Meanwhile, the story of the alien technology piqued the interest of J.P. Cahn of the San Francisco Chronicle. Cahn managed to convince Newton and Gebauer to give him a sample of the "alien" metal, which turned out to be aluminum. Cahn's account of the alien ship hoax - and the two swindlers -- appeared in True magazine in 1952. The result was that several people who had been conned by Newton and Gebauer came forward. One of their victims was Herman Glader, a Denver millionaire who had the wherewithal to press charges. Newton and Gebauer were convicted of fraud the next year. The Aztec hoax appeared again in 1986, when William Steinman and Wendelle Stevens published a book called UFO Crash at Aztec. In 1998 Linda Mouton Howe, a documentary filmmaker, claimed to have government documents proving that an alien ship had landed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. That proof was the Hottel memo. Several news outlets have repotted the memo as "proof" that the government knew about crashes of alien spacecraft in Roswell. But not only does the memo say no such thing, it isn't even connected to the town of Roswell. There are several other clues that something is wrong. The FBI has several documents that point to their knowledge of Newton and Gebauer both, as fraud schemes involving mining were common in the southwest at that time. In addition, an alien craft disabled by "high-powered radar" is implausible given that ordinary airplanes can fly without incident through radar, and "high power" radar is not enough to damage even conventional electronics. (Radars were even less powerful in the 1940s). In addition, the description in the Hottel memo does not match any of those given at the time for purported Roswell UFOs. --
