Sedge Masters & Project ZODIAC — CIA Crash Retrieval Testimony (1998)

In 1998, UFO Magazine published a three-part series by pseudonymous author 'Greg Halifax'. The protagonist 'Sedge Masters' is a CIA intelligence operative recruited into a highly classified UAP crash retrieval program called ZODIAC — allegedly the true equivalent of MJ-12. Base of operations: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. According to the account, ZODIAC recovered eleven UAP craft of various sizes between 1947 and the 1980s, including live occupants (Nordics, small hairy beings, tall and short Grays). The report describes Roswell 1947 in detail: two craft, two survivors, biological robot hypothesis (no digestive organs, no sexual organs, no food on board), unknown propulsion technology. Key incident: During a recovery mission, a larger UAP appeared above the crash site, telepathically ordered the team not to recover the craft, and the entire recovery team experienced 90 minutes of missing time. Psychologist: 'The little gray bastards have thought control and empathy projection.' Critical for credibility: Hal Puthoff (EarthTech, later AATIP) wrote to CIA scientist Kit Green on July 31, 1999: 'We have reason to believe the stories are only slightly fictionalized versions of a source's experiences writing up records for the archives at WPAFB.' Puthoff asked Green if he had heard of ZODIAC — 'which is supposed to be the true name, not MJ-12.' Area52 (Chris Ramsay) read the complete story in Episode 95 (July 10, 2026, 2.3M views).
