Teddy Roosevelt and the
Mystery of the UFO and the Split American Eagle
By Robert Spearing, publisher of www.worldufowatch.com
When one thinks of U.S. Presidents and UFOs several of
our Chief Executives come to mind. Firstly, there is President Eisenhower
purportedly meeting aliens at Edwards Air Force Base in 1954. Then there is
JFK’s memo to the CIA asking for disclosure on UFOs ten days before his
assassination. More humorously but
perhaps true is the story of Richard Nixon treating comedian Jackie Gleason to
a view of dead alien Greys at Homestead Air Force Base in 1974. But what about
Teddy Roosevelt!
Is anyone in the UFOlogy Community even aware of a documented
UFO sighting over our 26th
president’s home, Sagamore Hill, in
Oyster Bay, N.Y. on August 1, 1907 when he was in his second term of office?
According to an old clipping found by UFOlogist Kay Massingill from a
newspaper called the D.C. Evening Star dated August 2, 1907, two events of a mysterious nature occurred
in the town of Oyster Bay in a twenty-four hour period and both concerned Mr.
Roosevelt.
In the latter,
the town librarian Miss Denton opened up the library on the morning of the 1st
and discovered a beautiful mahogany chair donated by Teddy to the museum from
his days as Governor of New York had split down the backside sometime the night
before. More peculiar was the fact that on the reverse back of the chair was the
Bald Eagle Seal of the United States of America and it was split in half! An
ominous sign indeed! Was it an omen?
However, the
main event occurred the evening before between the hours of 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.
when a brilliant white light was seen to hang motionless over Sagamore Hill.
According to
the dispatch, it was a light “considerably larger than a star” and hung about
300 feet in altitude over the house according to numerous witnesses. It was an
“intense white light” and after 11 p.m. it began to fade to a spark and then
extinguished. Meanwhile in the library a
short distance away, a chair associated with Sagamore Hill’s occupant was
coming undone in a most mysterious way.
Was Mr.
Roosevelt home the night of the UFO sighting? The article doesn’t say and we’ll
probably never know but it is known that Sagamore was called Roosevelt’s Summer
White House and it was the middle of summer!
So the main
question to ask is Why! Why would a ball of light attend to Mr. Roosevelt in
the heat of 1907?
Two clues can
be found concerning his agenda as President that year.
One clue was
his December 3, 1907 Annual Address to Congress. The speech is mundane for the
most part dealing with anti-trust actions, railroads, the Department of
Agriculture, conservation, unions and such but near the end of it Roosevelt
begins to lay out the groundwork for creating the world’s most dominant modern
navy. It seemed Roosevelt had a great
grasp of what was happening in the world concerning Japan, Germany and China
and their eventual rise on the world’s stage. He specifically recommended
dredging Pearl Harbor to make it a world class naval base and increasing
Alaska’s defenses. Did he know something about the world no one else did? His maneuvering just months after the
Sagamore Hill incident directly led to America’ emergence as the modern world’s
greatest Suprerpower. Did he have help
from E.T. whispering in his ear? During his tenure America’s Navy grew from 5th
to 3rd in the world in size.
The second
clue is the very interesting coincidence of the Second International Peace
Convention held at The Hague, Netherlands that year from June 15 to October 18, 1907 which was during
the Sagamore Hill sighting. That convention was the brainchild of none other
than Teddy Roosevelt! It was an attempt to codify the rules of war –
particularly naval warfare. More
importantly, it was seen as the world’s first attempt at an international
governing body – a forerunner to the League of Nations and the United Nations….
AND possibly the end of American sovereignty in a New World Order – thus the
American Bald Eagle split down the middle!
So one could
ask if possibly aliens (or time travelers for that matter) were attempting to
lay out the groundwork for (or interfere with) the earth’s direction in the 20th
and 21st centuries and might they have been in contact with our
Presidents long before Mr. Eisenhower’s 1954 encounter?
