Charlie Red Star

Charlie Red Star, the UFO that appeared again and again in the skies near the U.S.–Manitoba border in 1975, launched the biggest UFO craze in Canadian history. Grant Cameron, who was there giving tours and saw Charlie Red Star multiple times, reveals the eyewitness accounts of journalists, photographers, and others who chronicled the events.

Charlie was what we Earthlings call a You-Eff-Oh, you know, a U.F.O., an Unidentified flying Object. He had been seen by two very surprised Earthlings on Thursday, April 10 1975 at about 9:10 p.m. local Earth time. Charlie was curious and he thought that this could be fun, so he decided to hang around to see what would happen next! Little did the Earthlings realize that they would soon be drawn into what was to go down in history as “The Adventures of Charlie Red Star”. Edward had received a phone call in his Planetarium office about bright red lights that cavorted around the night sky over Carman almost every night. He visited Carman, interviewed many people and viewed photographs of some of these red lights. (See inside!) Edward wrote an article in the Manitoba Museum Paper about what he found. Later, he wrote an article for “Manitoba Nature” entitled; “Manitoba U.F.O’s”. When he came to the part about the Carman U.F.O., he thought it would be fun to write the story from the viewpoint of the U.F.O.! The newspaper had called the lights: “Red Star Charlie”. It did not sound right to Edward and so he changed the name to “Charlie Red Star”. Later, he wrote the story for children and anthropomorphized those strange red lights. He also made Charlie into a short Planetarium show so that Charlie could fly once more in the starry, starry skies above Carman!

This is one of the most important books ever written on the clandestine world of the UFO cover-up. Grant Cameron and Scott Crain do more than demonstrate the reality of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth. Through tenacious investigation and impeccable research, they shine a light into the CIA, NSA, Air Force, Navy, and other inside groups that have managed this secret for decades. Their conclusion is inescapable and shocking: this is a secret that the insiders themselves struggle to understand and contain. "Government agencies, at various times, perceive a need to release some UFO information to the public. Some, definitely not all. How do they do it? Always via avenues that leave no one at risk. That means ensuring there is no direct connection between the agency and whomever is doing the actual releasing. It also means the necessity of mixing in some false information. It means, ultimately, to tell the truth, but tell it with a slant. Until there is a full disclosure of the UFO/ET reality, deniability will remain paramount to those in possession of this great secret." - By the authors, from the book's Introduction.
