卡尔 seems like a minister as he speaks slowly and deliberately in a deep, lilting voice. And, in a way, he is a minister. He preaches an attitude 的 peace, good will and cooperation with "我们来自太空的朋友。”

| Professor Robert Spencer 卡尔 was the guest 的 a local radio show on Oct. 11, 1974 to promote the upcoming PSI会议在佛罗里达州坦帕举行的飞碟研讨会. During the interview, 卡尔 made the shocking disclosure 的 the US government’s cover-up 的 the crash 的 a 飞碟 in New Mexico. It created a media sensation that lasted for months in print and broadcast news. But who was Robert Spencer 卡尔? Bob 卡尔 was born March 26, 1909, and as brilliant youthful author published in prominent magazines, not only in pulps such as 怪诞的故事，也包括主流影片 |  thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com 5-29-20 |
他是个神童，在10岁时就发表过杂志文章，在18岁时是国际畅销小说作家，在20岁时是好莱坞电影作家。他有3部小说和至少12篇短篇小说，主要是科幻小说。像他的许多同事一样，他在1930年成为美国共产党的一员's。他实际上从1933年到1938年在俄罗斯生活（在斯大林最糟糕的时期）'吹扫），在那里他对共产主义完全迷住了。他回到美国并放弃了党籍。在1950年的HUAC狩猎女巫期间，他拒绝为以前的战友作证's.Back in the US, 卡尔 resumed his writing career, which included a substantial body 的 work during his four years as Director 的 Educational Research for Walt Disney Studios. He served in the Army during World War II, enlisting in 1944 and becoming a sergeant where he wrote lectures for 的 ficers to deliver to the troops. After that, he returned to the motion picture industry for several years, writing and producing educational films contracted by the State Department at the International Film Foundation. It was also during this period that 卡尔 became interested in 飞碟s.
卡尔 had a particular fondness for fantasy and science fiction, and his story about extraterrestrial visitors, “Morning Star,”发表于1947年12月6日的 星期六晚上邮报。在他的作者中’s profile, 卡尔 was described as “查尔斯·福特（Charles Fort）已故的追随者，以及福特尼斯学会（Fortean Society）的成员，”他是可能性的支持者“that men from Mars—如果不是来自金星的美女—已经访问过地球。” In 卡尔’s “Easter Eggs" (later retitled “The Invaders”），摘自1949年9月24日 星期六晚上邮报, two alien ovoid spaceships land, one actually on the White House lawn, the other in Moscow. It gives a hint 的 卡尔’关于外星人先进的心理和精神力量的思想-以及我们与之相匹配的潜力。白宫秘书贝特·普林格（Bette Pringle）建立了沟通渠道：
“我瞥见里面的东西还活着，只有一个人的大小，坐在控制装置上。他试图和我说话…他似乎在我的脑海里说话，不是用言语而是用想法。同样具有图片，没有艺术家可以绘画的图片。”
卡尔 and Ufology
1952 marked the end 的 卡尔’的电影作品和他的文学生涯，“小矮人的到来” published 蓝皮书， for their November issue. However, in July 的 that year he wrote something memorable for the President 的 the United States. Little evidence 的 卡尔’早期的UFO相关活动得以幸存，但研究人员 拉里·布莱恩特（Larry Bryant）找到了文件 的 it. Bryant examined letters to President Harry S. Truman from the public on the subject 的 飞碟s, writing, “收集的信件–或至少以某种方式无法幸免的部分被转介给国防部以作答复–现在位于密苏里州独立大学的杜鲁门图书馆。…白宫工作人员对交叉引用日志中的每个字母进行了概述。”
卡尔’已转发给总统的信，但工作人员的评论是：
–Robert Spencer 卡尔 的 Clearwater, Fla. (7/31/52)
“作家围着相对于杂物'flying saucers’ –联系建议。谨请美国空军部进行适当处理。要求总统’对此发表评论。如果他没有收到答复，请威胁公开他的信。五角大楼的批评。 （考虑和适当的处理。）”

| 卡尔, During the 1965 Brooksville Investigation |
During the 1950s, 卡尔 otherwise was not active publicly in 飞碟 activities, but he was a long-time member 的 the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). 的 best period documentation 的 卡尔’NICAP在对1965年UFO乘员遭遇事件的高调调查中的作用。
的 奥兰多前哨 1965年9月26日从佛罗里达州奥兰多市出发：
“A Public relations man from Pinellas County, Robert 卡尔, a member 的 NICAP,”告诉有关调查“the Brooksville incident in which a man testified that he spotted a landed unidentified craft with strange creatures walking around outside... Creatures three to four feet long have been reported... 卡尔 also stressed that he does not believe any 的 the reports involving sightings 的 space creatures that he has investigated so far.” (蓝皮书项目在布鲁克斯维尔案中有109页的文件，并在第44页上， APRO公告, which mentions 卡尔’s investigation.
诱饵行动
1973 marked 卡尔’s next public 飞碟 exposure, in a book by Major Donald E. Keyhoe. 卡尔 was teaching classes in creative writing at the University 的 South Florida, but became more vocal about his position and beliefs about 飞碟s as he neared retirement. He’d written to President Truman in 1952 about contacting aliens, and twenty years on, 卡尔 found someone interested in the idea. 的re was a plan, 诱饵行动, which was the title 的 the ultimate chapter 的 Major Donald E. Keyhoe’1973年的最后一本书， 外星人s from Space。根据Keyhoe的说法，“诱饵行动”将是“计划中的第一次外星人和人类会议可能是相互调整的开始，从而为我们的世界带来巨大的进步。”那是不明飞行物相当于鸭子的百叶窗，里面有诱饵，“孤立的基地，具有不寻常的结构和新颖的展示，旨在吸引UFO外星人'注意...三个或更多的虚拟UFO，带圆盘的圆盘类型，铝制...诱饵不明飞行物和教育大楼从黄昏到黎明都被泛光灯照亮。可能要过几天才会有任何反应，但是有充分的理由相信诱饵会起作用。”
诱饵行动的建筑师？
的 basic idea was first suggested by a NICAP Special Adviser, Robert Spencer 卡尔, former Director 的 Educational Research, Walt Disney Studios, a specialist in visual-aid education who has served with the Army Orientation Service and has produced educational films for the State Department. Since the original suggestion, I have privately expanded the plan with aid from 卡尔, linguists, psychologists and experts in other fields.卡尔 placed special emphasis on the need for the lure to have projected movie images on an outdoor screen, noting that there had been many 飞碟s attracted to drive-in theatres. Once friendly contact was established, 卡尔 believed the aliens could begin sharing “他们可能带给我们的好处。”
他的名字和计划发表在Keyhoe’s book, 卡尔 began exploiting it, using it as evidence 的 his expertise in the 飞碟 topic. In January 1974, at the University 的 South Florida, 卡尔 engaged a USF Astronomy professor on stage in a debate, “不明飞行物-信不信由你。” It was during this debate that 卡尔 made his first public claim about 被俘 飞碟s. 坦帕论坛报1974年1月16日报道：
One 的 the best-kept secrets 的 the United States Government is that in 机库18 at 赖特·帕特森 空军 Base near Dayton, Ohio, there are two 飞碟s 的 unknown origin, a University 的 South Florida instructor said yesterday.

| 坦帕论坛报, 1974年1月16日 |
This article on 卡尔’s debate seems to be the the first time 机库18 was named as the hiding place for 飞碟 secrets, at least in print. If 卡尔 wasn’作为第一个命名的人，他当然负责使Hangar 18这个名字著名。这个故事只对当时的一些当地新闻报道是有益的，但随着更多的披露，它在秋天爆发了。机库18 was just the opening 的 卡尔’的讯息，不过。坠毁的飞碟故事是一个预告片，用来说明UFO掩盖了我们的东西被剥夺了，强调了我们可以通过使用诱饵行动建立联系来向外星人学习更多的知识。
Dr. 卡尔’s 无线电 Disclosure
Robert 卡尔 retired from the university in June 1974, and took up a new career as a 飞碟 lecturer. PSI Conferences (PSI for Psychic, Spiritual and Intuition) hired him for the Tampa “飞碟会议，” and on Oct. 11, 1974, during a local radio show interview to promote it, 卡尔 told his story 的 被俘 saucers again, but in far greater detail. This time, it made international news, and 卡尔 was hounded by newspapers, radio and television reporters for more information. Local radio started the buzz with the 卡尔 interview, and the 黄道带新闻社 （ZNS，为进步的广播电台，大学，社区和地下报纸提供离奇而另类的故事的人）帮助在全国播出了轰动性的新闻。
It'走出这个世界...
（ZNS）南佛罗里达大学前任教授罗伯·卡尔（Robert 卡尔）教授上周宣布，美国政府已秘密捕获了完整的U.F.O.船上有十二个人。现在。卡尔教授预测，到12月15日-大约八周内，美国政府将进行精心设计的工作，为美国人宣布存在外星生命做好准备。这位教授在佛罗里达州的一次新闻发布会上说五角大楼已经恢复了完美"flying saucer"据称是在1948年坠毁在新墨西哥州阿兹台克附近的沙漠中的。卡尔教授说，他讲述这则令人难以置信的故事的消息来源是三人直接与掩盖或保护该项目有关—检查身体的生物学家；在俄亥俄州莱特·帕特森空军基地的机库中保护船只的保安人员；据报道，还有一名高级军官在对尸体进行尸检时观察了这12个小生物的尸体。这位教授说，他所有的消息来源都报告说，当这艘船被刺穿进入地球时，这十二个人显然是一次减压事故的受害者。'的气氛。他说，所有目击者都将访客描述为完全像小人类。—三到四英尺高；白皮肤浅发蓝眼睛身体状况理想，但大脑发达。教授坚持说12具尸体仍在"deep freeze"在赖特·帕特森（Wright-Patterson）空军基地，该船被藏在空军基地的机库中。赖特-帕特森空军官员断然否认了整个说法。
–奥尔巴尼学生出版社，1974年10月29日
卡尔’我们的任务是发射诱饵行动，但是大多数人听到的是，“赖特-帕特森菲尔德（Wright-Patterson Field）拥有一艘航天器… blah, blah, blah.” Many people hearing the news break on radio took it to be an explosive new disclosure, mistakenly thinking 卡尔 was describing a recent 飞碟 capture, not a story from 1948. Reporters were just interested in the saucer and bodies in 机库18, so the plan for peaceful contact was seldom mentioned. 的 press coverage 的 the story was huge, carried in newspapers across the US and Canada by syndicated newswires such as the Associated Press and United Press International.

有很多激动，也有很多困惑。当报纸在采访的第二天报道这个故事时，这个故事开始受到挑战。
