| "Alternative 3" was the final documentary | | | | the items which were mysteriously LOST IN |
| done by the well respected "Science Report" | | | | TRANSIT some four years when I moved from |
| of Anglia Television in England on April 1st | | | | London, England, to Sydney, Australia, before |
| 1977. Within an hour of broadcasting the | | | | I moved on to settle in New Zealand.For some |
| television station issued a hurried statement | | | | time after Alternative 3 was originally |
| stating that the show was a hoax.We believe | | | | published, I have reason to suppose that my |
| that the film is 95% fake but that 5% of it | | | | home telephone was being tapped and my |
| is the most important footage of the 20th | | | | contacts who were experienced in such matters |
| Century and totally accurate. That is the | | | | were convinced that certain intelligence |
| NASA footage of people on Mars. We believe | | | | agencies considered that I probably knew too |
| that much of the story is also the | | | | much.So, summing up, the book is FICTION |
| truth.Besides filming the show on April 1st, | | | | BASED ON FACT. But I now feel that I |
| the producers later said that the show was | | | | inadvertently got VERY CLOSE TO A SECRET |
| fake. It was quite evident at the end of the | | | | TRUTH. I hope this is of some help to you and |
| movie that something was fake because almost | | | | I look forward to hearing from you again.With |
| every single person filmed on the show was an | | | | best wishes, Leslie WatkinsCaptain Bill |
| actor, not genuine footage. It's a huge | | | | Robertson in a Lecture he gave in 1990 made |
| let-down when the list of credits role at the | | | | these comments on the NASA footage which |
| end, and a source of major confusion if you | | | | comes at the end of the Alternative 3 show. |
| are expecting that this whole thing is real. | | | | It would appear that Captain Bill believes |
| We believe that there is no way that a | | | | the whole video to be true, but his comments |
| respected documentary would be explicit that | | | | are of interest never-the-less. (Source: you |
| it was produced on April 1st unless it was | | | | are going to see it and are going to see and |
| decided beforehand that that was what they | | | | analyze what it really means.This is the |
| wanted to do.The people who created this show | | | | supposed landing on Mars 1962 by the |
| risked a HUGE amount. They risked that people | | | | Americans. That's the tape.Now the thing he |
| would never again trust that anything on TV | | | | said at the last, he says - Boy, when they |
| or portrayed by science is the truth. | | | | take the wraps off this, it'll be the biggest |
| However, we believe that somebody felt that | | | | day in history. 22nd May 1962, we're on Mars |
| this risk was worth taking because they | | | | and we have life.Now, we're gonna watch this |
| needed to DISCREDIT THE NASA TAPE OF MARS and | | | | - I'll show you something interesting. OK |
| the story that went with it, before somebody | | | | let's pause. All right, here you go. Look; |
| got it out to the public.Remember, in the | | | | let's first of all examine the possibility |
| times we are in, "DISCERNMENT " is a KEY | | | | that this was made in Hollywood. If they did |
| ABILITY. Learn to trust your intuition, your | | | | make it in Hollywood what would be the point |
| gut feelings, your "knowingness" while at the | | | | of making it so secret that they had to kill |
| same time being as rational as Sherlock | | | | people to keep it from being known? Would |
| Holmes.The TV Show "Alternative 3" starts off | | | | they just be doing it to...Why would they |
| as an investigation of the "Brain Drain" of | | | | keep it a secret, if they made it in |
| England where hundreds of top scientists were | | | | Hollywood? They would want everyone to know |
| leaving the country. Then it turns out that | | | | about it and say - Look we landed on Mars! |
| 24 of these scientists just vanished, never | | | | and they never said that. So what would they |
| to be heard from again.The name "Alternative | | | | want it for as a fake, and how could this |
| 3" comes from the third of three different | | | | professor have recorded it coming from outer |
| propositions to save the human species from | | | | space, this tape, if they made it in |
| extinction in the event that humans are wiped | | | | Hollywood, you see. So let's take their word |
| off from planet earth by global warming, | | | | for it is true. They did kill enough people, |
| catastrophes etc.One man mailed a reel of | | | | they threatened the radio station with |
| video tape to an editor at a newspaper whom | | | | closing the license - I mean the television |
| he was friends with. He then drives to meet | | | | with closing the license of the program, they |
| with this editor but is killed in a car crash | | | | did fire the people who worked on it. And |
| before he gets there. The Science Report TV | | | | when the book came out they banned it in |
| Show gets hold of the tape but there is only | | | | America. So knowing all those indicators of a |
| static on the tape.Later another man who has | | | | secret conspiracy going on, let's take it as |
| connections with NASA gives to the Science | | | | a true tape, but let's analyze it as to what |
| Report a decoder circuit board from NASA | | | | is the real truth.Look at that porthole they |
| which makes the tape viewable.What you will | | | | are taking the pictures out of. That is not |
| see on this tape may do for you what it did | | | | from an earth type spacecraft. That has a |
| for me - my hair stood on end (I believe this | | | | square, curved outer hull surface, and it's |
| is an indication of the truth). It shows the | | | | very thin as you can see. There's no bolts, |
| view through a window of some kind of flying | | | | you understand, and all that stuff they have |
| vehicle that is flying over the surface of | | | | on American and Russian spacecrafts. Right, |
| Mars. You see a blue sky and you can hear | | | | it's very big. You remember the first |
| American and Russians in the background cheer | | | | spaceships that went up. They had little tiny |
| that they have found life on Mars, when they | | | | holes in them like that with bolts, like on a |
| see a small burrowing animal on the | | | | ship. That's the first point I want you to |
| ground.The 'bad guys' have a spiritual law | | | | see. Now I want you to see something else |
| that they have to tell you what is going on, | | | | here. There, you see the curves? Aha, you see |
| it's just that they don't have to portray the | | | | this - stand by to scan, that's what he said. |
| truth in any particular way. Hence there is | | | | Now watch this, watch what happens to the |
| much truth in many movies. We believe that | | | | picture. See how slowly it's moving? America |
| the movie "Total Recall" has elements of | | | | and Russia never had any spaceships that are |
| truth in it also. Al Bielek, survivor of the | | | | landing on the Moon, landing on any other |
| Philadelphia Experiment, said that he | | | | planet that could slow down and do this. |
| remembers being taken to Mars and seeing | | | | Watch this: the ship is rotating, slowly. |
| ancient machines like those on Total Recall, | | | | Then it stops - Stand by to move on. Watch... |
| and that these machines were used to recreate | | | | see there, now they're back on the landing |
| an atmosphere there, which had been locked up | | | | pattern.If you analyze this from an |
| in the soil.Interestingly, they mentioned | | | | aeronautical point of view, you have the ship |
| this same theory in Alternative 3 - that the | | | | coming in. All of a sudden it stops, rotates |
| atmosphere had been locked up in the | | | | around like this stand by to go-ahead, resume |
