November 10, 1997: Alien Coverup - Dan Sherman

Art Bell interviews former Air Force electronic intelligence specialist Dan Sherman about his book "Above Black," which details his involvement in a classified program called Project Preserve Destiny. Sherman describes being told by an NSA captain that his DNA had been genetically managed before birth as part of a program initiated after government contact with an alien species in 1947. His mother, he was informed, had been abducted in the early 1960s for genetic compatibility testing.

Sherman recounts his training at an NSA facility where he learned to mentally flatten sine waves on a computer screen without any physical connection, developing what the military called intuitive communication abilities. Once stationed at his operational base, he spent over two years receiving transmissions from two alien contacts, initially consisting of number strings and military intelligence data including launch coordinates and temperature readings.

The communications eventually shifted to abduction data, including latitude and longitude coordinates, residual pain levels, and potentiality for recall scores. This deeply disturbed Sherman. When his classified commander informed him he would never be allowed to leave the military, Sherman found a way to secure an honorable discharge and chose to share his compartmentalized piece of a much larger puzzle.
