provides NASA with the crucial political cover it needed to justify hiding any discoveries of Ancient Alien ruins anywhere in the solar system. It justifies the possible cover-up by considering the possibility of social devastation if such a discovery were made public without an adequate preparation period for social adjustment:
    “Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways: others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior…”
    The Report then goes on to reinforce the point with more examples:
    “…the fundamentalist (and anti-science) sects are growing apace around the world… For them, the discovery of other life — rather than any other space product—would be electrifying… If super-intelligence is discovered, the [social] results become quite unpredictable …”
    Obviously, this section is particularly relevant even today, with the rise of Islamic fundamentalism all over the world. But the Report also cautions that the more advanced and scientifically educated nations and individuals, such as those in the United States, might also suffer similar emotional and social upheaval:
    “ … of all groups, scientists and engineers might be the most devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures, since these professions are most clearly associated with mastery of nature.” (p. 225)
    It then suggested, obviously, that further studies were needed. It then goes on to make the following (and somewhat alarming) statement about the entire question of whether to announce or withhold the discovery of Ancient Alien ruins:
    “ … the consequences of such a discovery are presently unpredictable …”
    The Report then references an obscure work by psychologist Hadley Cantrell, titled The Invasion From Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic (Princeton University Press, 1940). This little known book was commissioned by the Rockefeller Foundation under a grant to Princeton University. Its subject was the 1938 Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the effect it had on portions of the American listening public. It is estimated that more than a million people in the northeast United States panicked over the broadcast, hearing Wells’ brilliant production and believing the Martian invasion was real. The implication of the book and its inclusion in the Brookings Report is that the broadcast was a psychological warfare experiment, and that America dramatically failed the test. Given this, it seems reasonable that NASA might have adopted an official policy of cover-up of the discovery of any Ancient Alien artifacts it might discover.
    It isn’t difficult to sum up the Brookings Report. Among its wide-ranging analysis and conclusions are the following:
“Artifacts” (i.e. Ancient Alien ruins) are likely to be found by NASA on the Moon and\or Mars.
If the artifacts point to the existence of a superior civilization, the social impact is “unpredictable.”
Various negative social consequences, from “devastation” of the scientists and engineers, to an “electrifying” rise in religious fundamentalism, to the complete “disintegration” of society are distinct possibilities. The War of the Worlds broadcast provides an excellent example.
Serious consideration should be given to “withholding” such information from the public if, in fact, artifacts are ever discovered.
    So here we have the proverbial smoking gun. Not only was NASA advised almost from its inception to withhold any data that supported the reality of the Ancient Alien theory or any other discovery like it, they were told to do so for the good of human society as a whole. Most especially, they should withhold the data from their own rank and file engineers and scientists, since
