CLINTON DISCLOSURE?
There have bbeen a number of TV and press news stories about Hillary and Podesta wanting to release formerly classified UFO
research by the gov't, assuming there is some. The roots of the Clinton Disclosure effort go way back to April, 1993 when I
was briefly involved in a very important way: the CIA asked me to write a UFO briefing for Bill Clinton's Science Advisor,
Dr. John Gibbons. How I became involved is a very interesting story that is presented in the FBI CIA UFO Connection (see below).
WELCOME BACK X-FILES
By Dr. Bruce Maccabee, retired Navy physicist and active UFO investigator
A few weeks ago, for the first time in well over twenty years, I "committed" X-Files. I watched the first three episodes and it was like discovering the return of an old friend. There were Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in their "youth," tracking down evidence of aliens and a government cover-up of the truth, evidence contained in a special files of inexplicable events known as the “X files.” There was even the CSM (cigarette smoking man). I didn't recall that he had been in the first installment.
As is the case for most of the fans, I appreciated the story line, the quality of production and the pure entertainment value. But I appreciated it for yet another reason: it was the inspiration for my book The FBI CIA UFO Connection. Let me explain.
Way back in the ancient history of the latter 1970's I sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI in which I asked for any information they had on Unidentified Flying Objects, i.e., “flying saucers.” After a delay of about 8 months, to my great surprise, I received hundreds of documents from file #62-83894. Many of these documents were classified "Security Matter - X." This was the REAL X-file and I was the first person outside the FBI to see it!
During the following years I published a series of articles in UFO journals and lectured at several UFO symposia about the information in the X file, but I had no desire to write a book about it. By the early 1990's the FBI documents had been available and generally known by ufologists for over a decade and I considered them to be of little immediate interest. Then came the X-files TV show and things changed.
During late 1995, by which time the X-Files show had been running for over two years, I read an article in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine. The writer reported that she took the standard tour at FBI headquarters. One of tourists asked who was in charge of the X files and the tour guide responded that there were no such files and the TV show was all fiction. I was surprised by this as I was "sitting on" 1,600 pages of documents from the real X file! Evidently the FBI didn’t know about its own X files.
At this time I decided to write a book that showed how the information in the X file could help fill in details of the Air Force UFO investigations during the early years of Projects SIGN (1948-1949), GRUDGE (1949-1952) and BLUE BOOK (1952 – 1969). And the rest, as they say, is history. The book, using the combined formerly secret files of the FBI, CIA and Air Force, shows that top Air Force officials assumed that some reported UFOs were actually interplanetary craft. The UFO FBI Connection was published in 2000 (long out of print). A revised and considerably expanded version, The FBI CIA UFO Connection, was published in 2014, in plenty of time to welcome back the TV show that inspired the book. (Available at Amazon.com and bookstores).

DAN AYKROYD (ACTOR/AUTHOR; GHOSTBUSTERS) ENDORSES BOOK THAT REVEALS THE REAL FBI X - FILES
KEYWORDS: Dan Aykroyd, FBI, UFO, The X – Files TV show
SUMMARY:
-Dan Aykroyd has endorsed the book The FBI CIA UFO Connection
-This book releases the originally top secret real FBI X-FILES
-The title of The X – Files TV show has a basis in fact
In recent years Dan Aykroyd, unlike most Hollywood movie stars, has been quite open about his interest in UFO reports and other paranormal events (see, e.g., www.amazon.com/Dan-Aykroyd-Unplugged-UFOs/dp/B000EU1Q0Y and www.openminds.tv/video-exclusive-interview-with-dan-aykroyd-on-ufos-782/12005). About the above mentioned book he posted the following message on his facebook web site (Dan Aykroyd; scroll down to March, 2015):
“Ex-Naval Surface Warfare employee and physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee has assembled the most extensively and meticulously researched body of documentary evidence ever compiled on the U.S. government’s genuine interest in the UFO phenomena. The USAF has NEVER denied the existence of these super-performance aerodynamic vehicles. The Air Force’s continued anguish over PUBLIC disclosure is not due to the military’s genuinely admitted reality of these machines’ existence but due to the government’s struggle to categorize the phenomena as being ANYTHING but extra planetary in origin.”
----------------------------------------------------
This book reveals that the originally secret FBI file, number 62-83894, contains UFO reports classified “Security Matter – X,” so this is the real X – file. The book also reveals the formerly secret CIA file on UFOs and Dr. Maccabee’s experiences with the CIA including UFO briefings and the special briefing he wrote for the President Clinton’s Science Advisor, Dr. John Gibbons.

DAN AYKROYD ENDORSES BOOK ABOUT UFO ABDUCTION
Key Words: UFO ABDUCTION, DAN AYKROYD, ABDUCTION IN MY FAMILY, UFO ALIEN
Actor/Author Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbusters and many other movies) has said the following about the new “book within a book,” Abduction In My Family, by Dr. Bruce Maccabee:
"In this gripping and vivid book within a book, condensing the strongest evidence available, Dr. Bruce Maccabee creates a character who is a hardened skeptic. He has open contempt, as many do, for even the fantasy that Unexplained Aerial Constructs could be real and extra-planetary. Then loved ones slowly begin to confide in him their own experiences. This takes him down a path of genuine, plausible understanding of what may be at the heart of the greatest revelation in our time."
--------------------------------
Abduction In My Family, a Novel of Alien Encounters is written from the point of view of a strongly skeptical “disbeliever” in UFOs and aliens who has his world view shaken to its roots by what happens to his friends and family and what he learns about UFO reports from the “inner book.”
The inclusion in the novel of the inner fact book is what sets this book apart from all other UFO books (and maybe all other books). What You Should Know About Unidentified Flying Objects is a fact book that presents the history of UFO reports, the response by the Air Force to sightings (cover up), various unexplainable UFO sightings and analysis and discussions of the impact of sightings on witnesses and what they may mean for humanity. This inner book is cleverly woven into the story of what happens to the main character, his family and friends in such a way that, little by little he is forced by events to accept a new reality. Then the reader is presented with a discussion of what this all (sightings, abductions) may mean and what, if anything, we can do about it.
