 Reprinted from Omni Magazine: July 1993

                          UFOs and Anti-Semitism
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do anti-semitism and UFOlogy have in common? Plenty, say experts like
James Moseley, a long-time observer of the UFO scene and publisher of the
irreverent newsletter, Saucer Smear. Indeed, for almost as long as UFO buffs
have searched the night sky, a few outrageous souls have claimed the existance of a superrace of aliens in the image of the Aryan ideal. What's more, some fringe members of the UFO movement have "communed" with aliens prone to trashing Jews.

According to Moseley, anti-Jewish sentiments first crept into Ufology in the
1950s when self-proclaimed contactees like George Adamski and George Hunt
Williamson described blond, blue-eyed aliens in line with the Nazi ideal.
Later, William Dudley Pelley, head of the U.S. based fascist Silver Shirts,
tied his anti-Semitic philosophy to Aryan armies as well.

These sour notes have crescendoed through the modern-day world of UFOlogy,
too. Since 1989, for instance, a bald, nine-and-a-half-foot-tall alien named
Hatonn has allegedly been communicating - through a channeler, of course - with West Coast publisher George Green.

The gist of the communiques? Hatonn claims that "so-called Jews are
descendants of Khazars, a Mongolian, nomadic tribe." In fact, according to The Trillion Dollar Lie, the book supposedly "channeled" by a Tehachapi,
California, grandmother named Doris Ecker, Hatonn rants that the horrors of the Holocaust never occurred, at least not in the sense that history books contend.

Instead, the alleged Pleiadian, citing as his source the incendiary and highly anti-Semitic piece of human propaganda, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, asserts the evils of a group of "elite Zionists" bent on ruling the
world.

In fact, although the Protocols document was long ago proven to be a turn-of-the century fabrication vreated by anti-semitic czarist secret police - it was later used by Nazis to rationalize genocide in Hitler's Germany - George Green insists it's factual.

"The adversary only tells the truth up to a point," Green claims Hatonn has
told him. Pointing to other "truths" revealed by the blue-eyed, blond-haired
alien, Green says that Hatonn has also stated that Hitler escaped to Antarctica at the end of World War II and that the original George Bush was replaced by a synthetic humanoid. (Bill Clinton may be a humanoid, too; however, it's still too soon to tell.)

Another suspicious note, meanwhile, has been sounded by conspiracy theorist
William Cooper, formerly of the U.S. Naval Intelligence. In his book Behold a
Pale Horse (Light Technology Publishing), Cooper invokes The Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion as proof that organized secret societies, including
people of many races and nationalities, are planning to use the invented threat of E.T.'s to help them destroy governments and religions and take over the world.

Needless to say, Alan Schwartz, research director of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith, is unimpressed. "Linking The Protocols of the Learned
Edlers of Zions to UFOs and plots to take over the world is bizarre,
destructive, hateful nonsense," Schwartz contends. "The notion that the
Protocols has any grain of truth in it has been refuted by scholars and legal
courts around the world."

John Timmerman, vice president of public relations for the Chicago-based
Center for UFO Studies, is annoyed as well. "These fringe elements in UFOlogy
contaminate a field where we are trying to find pristine information."
Timmerman states. "However, serious research has been able to sidestep the
idiotic material that is permeating much of the written literature on UFOs.
Cool heads, I'm happy to say, will prevail."
