Warm Greetings. I have created this petition with the purpose of initiating an investigation by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee into evidence and testimony that President Eishenhower met with extraterestrial amabassadors on February 20-21, 1954. Such an inquiry would provide witnesses or those with evidence of the meeting to come forward without being subject to the financial and legal penalties associated with divulging classified information. Since this meeting occurred 50 years ago and still remains classified, it is important to initiate a process to discover the truth of what happened, and giving legal protection to those willing to step forward. I made the formal public announcement of the petition during the early hours of March 4, 2004 at the end of a Coast to Coast Radio Interview about the Eisenhower meeting and its significance for the American and global publics.

The goal of the petition is to reach 10,000 signatures sometime before the next anniversary of this meeting on Feb 20-21, 2005. Once complete, the petition will be used to persuade members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee of the urgent need to hold such an inquiry. By signing this petition you help in generating support for the truth about President Eisenhower's alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, and it's consequences for the United States and all humanity. As the great French poet Victor Hugo once said, "one thing more powerful than armies is an idea whose time has come." The truth about what President Eisenhower did on those eventful nights is an idea whose time has come. I hope you support this initiative.

Petition for U.S. Senate Inquiry into President Eisenhower's Meeting With Extraterrestrials on February 20-21, 1954

On February 20, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower made an unscheduled departure from the Palm Springs resort where he was holidaying and returned on the morning of February 21. The President's press spokesperson claimed that President Eisenhower's absence was caused by the need for emergency dental treatment. On the other hand, there have been a number of allegations and supporting testimonies that the true reason for his absence was to secretly meet with a delegation of extraterrestrial ambassadors at Edwards Air Force Base. These allegations also suggest that the meeting was the first in a series that resulted in an agreement with that or other extraterrestrial races.

There are significant deficiencies in the official explanation of President Eisenhower's visit to the dentist, suggesting that he was elsewhere performing activities that were classified and continue to remain so despite their having occurred over 50 years ago. The serious political implications of the claims that President Eisenhower had a meeting with extraterrestrial ambassadors at Edwards AFB, and that this initiated a process that resulted in an agreement with this or other extraterrestrial races warrants an investigation of what truly occurred on the night and morning in question.

An investigation of the claim that President Eisenhower was treated by a dentist on the night in question has been independently investigated and concluded to be cover story (see http://www.presidentialufo.com/ike&the.htm). A February 19, 2004, article in the Washington Post presented the alternative claim that the real reason was that President Eisenhower was meeting with extraterrestrial ambassadors (see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A53203-2004Feb18.html or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/armageddon-or-newage/message/33078). For a detailed evaluation of the evidence that President Eisenhower met a delegation of extraterrestrial ambassadors at Edwards Air Force base, see http://exopolitics.org/Study-Paper-8.htm

This petition calls for an open inquiry by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee into President Eisenhower's alleged meeting with extraterrestrial ambassadors on the night and morning of February 20 and 21, 1954, respectively. The petition calls for full Congressional immunity from all legal and financial penalties for those revealing information, classified or otherwise, on President Eisenhower's activities on the dates in question. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is also called upon to provide resources for the physical protection of any individuals who are willing to testify in such an open inquiry.

We the undersigned do hereby give our full support for a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Inquiry into President Eisenhower's alleged meeting with extraterrestrial ambassadors on February 20-21, 1954.
