Walt Disney and Dr. Wernher von Braun

Dr. Werhner von Braun, then Chief, Guided Missile Development Operation Division at Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, was visited by Walt Disney in 1954. In the 1950's, von Braun worked with Disney Studio as a technical director, making three films about space exploration for television. A model of the V-2 rocket is in background.

Excerpt
Disney, who would become an international icon, opened Disneyland the same year that von Braun worked as a technical director on three Disney TV programs about space.

The first, ``Man in Space,'' aired on ABC on March 9, 1955. The second, ``Man and the Moon,'' aired the same year, and the final film, ``Mars and Beyond,'' was televised on Dec. 4, 1957.

This animation created by XXXXXX, a member of AboveTopSecret.com Post ID clearly shows that the Moon Base image is in fact a still from the Disney TV image. What better way to hide a Moon Base project than to release a Science Fiction film at the same time...

Report
On the weekend of 18th-19th March 1995, the Disney Corporation conducted a sneak telecast of a UFO documentary without any prior announcement in five TV viewing areas (Connecticut, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and California). This amazing documentary, featuring Disney Chief Executive Officer Michael Eisner, put the reputation of the Disney Corporation behind the documentary's many startling statements, such as the following:

    * "Mankind is in the midst of the most profound event in history: actual contact with intelligent life from other planets."
    * "Intelligent life from distant galaxies is now attempting to make open contact with the human race, and tonight we'll show you the evidence."
    * "From beyond the boundaries of our perceptions, intelligent beings are beckoning mankind to join the galactic community. It's an invitation which is both wondrous and terrifying."
    * "Alien ships seem to arrive in waves, and if the last few years are any indication, planet Earth is experiencing a tsunami of sightings."
    * "As early as 1947, the large alien ships began to arrive, navigated by living creatures. Their advanced physics allowed them to traverse the galaxy and pierce Earth's atmosphere with amazing speed."
    * "More than one alien craft crashed and was recovered for secret US military research."
    * "This is the actual site [Roswell, New Mexico] where the Roswell saucer was discovered, along with the bodies of three extraterrestrial missionaries who didn't survive the collision. The debris and the dead were impounded and taken away for top-secret study, while a classified investigative committee, called the Majestic Twelve, was organised by President Truman, and a government cover-up was initiated with a calculated disinformation campaign."
    * "For governments determined to maintain their authority, extraterrestrial contact is pure dynamite."
    * "When [Jimmy Carter] assumed the office of President of the United States, his staff attempted to explore the availability of official investigations into alien contact. As this internal government memo illustrates, there are some security secrets outside the jurisdiction of the White House."
    * "In November of 1975, essentially every SAC [Strategic Air Command] base in the United States was visited by UFOs."
    * "Indications are that government, military and scientific leaders will soon release nearly a half-century of official documentation of ongoing alien encounters on Earth."
    * "Statistics indicate a greater probability that you'll experience extraterrestrial contact in the next five years, than the chances that you will win a state lottery."
    * "Most Americans will likely explore outer space aboard crafts of alien origin." 

Some UFO researchers feel that these 'stealth' Disney documentary broadcasts were a test of the public's ability to handle the revelation of UFO reality and the government cover-up.
