I promise this is not going to be your stereotypical ancient aliens speculation. If UAP have been around for a long time as suggested by some and I explore in my article [UAP’s in History: A deep dive into reports of UFO’s ranging from 1300BC to 1954](https://medium.com/@Observing_The_Anomaly/uaps-in-history-a-deep-dive-into-reports-of-ufo-s-ranging-from-1300bc-to-1954-fca832e5650) then evidence at archeological sites seems logical. Pseudo-skeptics can easily claim no such evidence has been found at archeological sites, but that conveniently ignores just how many archeological sites are not actually open to the public, outside researchers, or researchers at all for that matter. Archeology is a practice influenced by politics, laws, and cultural beliefs. You can’t just start digging anywhere just because you want to and there is a history of looted cultural treasures and artwork before modern archeology.
In the course of my UAP research I’ve found a person, [Henry Earl Singleton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Earl_Singleton), who was former OSS that founded a very successful conglomerate involved in defense and aerospace, but even more interesting this person bought massive amounts of ranch land that happen to be some of the [best archeological sites in the US](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galisteo_Basin). These sites are massive with [tens of thousands of ruins](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-107shrg84655/html/CHRG-107shrg84655.htm) and some of the best rock art in the world. The sites are prehistoric and historic. Much of it is unexplored and not open to the public.
Singleton came onto my radar while researching another former OSS agent that was known as the [Johny Appleseed of LSD](https://medium.com/@Observing_The_Anomaly/the-true-story-of-alfred-hubbard-b82b520faa5b?sk=3aed0c3e51ae409840b04df1be589a9d) and is suspected of being a part of MKULTRA. In that research I find a document mentioning a contract with Singleton’s company to experiment with LSD at NASA.
If you research the myriad of publicly available information on MKULTRA one of the many shocking elements of it is that it reveals a literal conspiracy where entire “legitimate” front organizations are created in hospitals, universities and prisons. In some cases legitimate academic research would be published, but at the same time aspects of the same research wasn’t published and instead reported directly to the CIA. This led me to wonder if infiltration into academia could be more widespread than just early psychedelic drug research and I quickly found that the [field of anthropology](https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/70/Cold-War-AnthropologyThe-CIA-the-Pentagon-and-the) has been detailed extensively to have had such a thing happen. The idea of secret academic research happening alongside public academic research is chilling to contemplate. If we look at people like Graham Hancock, it becomes interesting to wonder if there is some sort of archeological cover up. Why are parts of the best prehistoric archeological sites in the US privately owned by a former OSS member that’s potentially connected to the MKULTRA program?
The answer to that question could easily be very benign but it equally could be very phenomenal.
So is there any evidence of an intersection of intelligence agencies and archeology? Yup.
“In the second world war, American archaeologists joined other intellectuals in the ranks of wartime intelligence agencies, such as the office of strategic services (OSS), where their linguistic expertise and geographical knowledge made valuable contributions to the war effort. While most did not use their credentials as fronts, some did, including Harvard archaeologist Samuel Lothrop.”[https://www.theguardian.com/science/2003/sep/04/research.artsandhumanities](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2003/sep/04/research.artsandhumanities)
Oh and then there’s Chris Turner. “Long before Christopher Turner taught advanced spy tradecraft to undercover CIA operatives and dodged bombs in South Asia, he was an archeologist digging up secrets.”[https://spyscape.com/article/christopher-turner-the-archeologist-cia-spy-who-came-in-from-the-field](https://spyscape.com/article/christopher-turner-the-archeologist-cia-spy-who-came-in-from-the-field)
It turns out archeologists are favored candidates for spy rings and recruitment. This may not concern itself with actual archeology, but once again we should recall the revelations of secret academic research during MKULTRA. If there is some significant UAP evidence in the archeological record, then it’s reasonable to speculate such an operation could easily be spun up.

Submission Statement: I’m simply exploring an idea that may sound preposterous at first but if you look at how our intelligence agencies have behaved historically it isn’t actually far fetched. I’m using facts and logic to speculate how such agencies might go about concealing evidence in the archeological record.
If those translations and quotes are accurate it seems unambiguous.
But I looked one up the “Pepin le Bref (715-769)” one and I couldn’t find it. Not saying it doesn’t exist but that was disappointing. There should be a lot more research on these because even if some are accurate at all that’s pretty clear confirmation to me.
