"Wilhelm Reich, Eisenhower and the Aliens"

In one version of events, President Dwight Eisenhower was flown to Wright Patterson Air Force Base on February 20, 1954 to see the debris and dead bodies from the Roswell crash. Some versions weave a far more elaborate tale, that Ike met with Nordic looking creatures and began intergalactic peace talks with them, the greys and several other alien races.
He struggled to deal with those alien presences in the remaining years of his presidency by secret negotiations and by building up the military way out of proportion to peace-time needs. He retired in frustration with it all in 1961, giving a gravely foreboding warning that the military industrial complex he helped create would get out of control. Or so the story goes among UFO mythologizers and folklorists.
Although it remains a well-known legend in the UFO lore, like all such legends little actual proof exists. Unlike many other legends, however, what corroborative historical trail does exist provides some provocatively concrete details. Strangely enough, archival documentation and secondary historical sources come together in remarkable ways regarding Eisenhower’s UFO involvements. If aliens do not exist, an objective observer is left to wonder why the historic trail makes it seem so much like they do and that they visited 1950s America.
Stranger still, those crossroads occur primarily in the biography and career of one of Sigmund Freud’s most renown protégés, the psychologist Wilhelm Reich. Reich spent the last of his years in the US chasing flying saucers. He did this with weapons he created based on an energy source he called orgone, and ostensibly with Dwight Eisenhower’s blessing. As the consummate documentary historian of his own life, Reich left behind an unusual paper trail that intertwined with the Eisenhower alien legend.


Bio:
Kenn Thomas is a conspiracy theorist, writer, university library archivist, and editor & publisher of Steamshovel Press, a parapolitical conspiracy magazine.
He has written books on the Inslaw affair, co-authoring The Octopus with the late Jim Keith, and on Fred Crisman and the Maury Island Incident. Thomas has authored over a dozen books on various conspiracy topics, including NASA, Nazis & JFK; Maury Island UFO, about possible John F. Kennedy assassination-connected personality Fred Crisman; and The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro, about the Inslaw affair. In 2004, Feral House published a new edition of The Octopus, extending its connections to the post 9/11 world and al Qaeda. Thomas calls his research interest “parapolitics,” the study of conspiracies of all colors -- from alien abductions and the Illuminati, to the John F. Kennedy assassination and the September 11, 2001 attacks (parapolitics). The New Yorker called his work “on the cutting edge” of conspiracy.[citation needed] His work has become proverbial enough that Baseball Prospectus 2002 by Joseph S. Sheehan and Chris Kahrl described conspiratorial activity in that sport as having "enough fishy behavior to keep Kenn Thomas swarming for years." Thomas has appeared at Conspiracy Con in 2003, and 2007.
