John B. Leith was born in 1920 with a photographic mind. He graduated from high school in 1937 and took spiritual training in Lhasa, Tibet for nine months before joining the Office of Strategic Services. During the last two years of WW II he led a six-man special-forces team out of London specializing in breaking prisoners out of German jails in France, Germany, and Poland. Though he became the most highly decorated soldier of any war, he was not allowed to acknowledge he had any combat service until after his death. He studied literature at Oxford while describing his 12 most exciting of 62 missions behind German lines. As liaison officer between General Patton and Gen Von Rundstedt he learned how selected people were fleeing Germany. These missions are described in The Man with the Golden Sword. Leith studied in Canada and spent 25 years earning a living as a journalist. In 1975, after demonstrating that he could keep his OSS experiences hidden from the public for 30 years, the CIA asked Leith to team up with another wartime OSS officer, Father John in WW II, and interview people associated with the development of "round-wing planes," both for our allies and for Germany. Neither group was allowed to use that technology for war, because both were assisted by wiser beings from off this planet. Genesis for The Space Race: The Inner Earth and the Extraterrestrials was dedicated to "an unsung hero, Jonathan E. Caldwell, inventor of this civilization's first spacecraft." He used several names for security. Read about him on Wikipedia. Like most CIA-approved releases, this 376-page book was required to have disinformation published with it and shown in a map of inner-Earth civilizations provided by an Atlantean cartographer. A 4-page Preamble helps the reader understand the disinformation and it's need. This book falsely indicates Hitler went with other officers and scientists to New Berlin, accessed from Antarctica. Pope Pius XII trained him to convert pagans in the jungles of Ecuador. The map falsely shows 125-mile-diameter holes at each poll required by the CIA to keep wealthy people from spending their fortunes in attempts to access the Inner Earth to acquire advanced technologies. Leith's term "Inner Earth" was sometimes changed to "Hollow Earth" and the story modified to match. Also, this book says that Hitler's son came to his father's funeral in Zaragoza, Spain in 1974, though the real funeral to which his son, born to Eva Braun in 1945, came was in Cuenca, Ecuador in 1978. It has three sections: Space Race, The Inner World of Extra Terrestrials, and Primer For a New Age of Space. Chapter XVII is titled Intrusion of Alien Beings into World Societies and Interviews with Leading Extra Terrestrials. The Epilogue describes how the 54-12 committee developed strategy for USA presidents since Eisenhower to maintain air supremacy into the 1980s and beyond. It describes foreign awards presented to Lt. General Caldwell after he retired in 1967, including a singular Congressional Medal presented by Eisenhower. The Appendix is titled Social, Political, Economic and Religious life in Inner Earth. Notes and Sources follow with excellent research on many controversial issues that came up during the interviews. Following are pictures of construction of New Berlin and a completed housing block with many German soldiers lined up for inspection. A 57-item bibliography from Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michel Angelbert to The Bible and Future Events by Leon Wood is listed. Between are: The Secret Doctrine by Blavatsky; UFO's and Interplanetary Visitors by Fowler; Our Haunted Planet by Keel; Aliens from Space by Keyhoe; The Great White Brotherhood by Prophet; and Secret of the Ages - UFOs from Inside the Earth by Trench. Following Leith's writing are addendums by the Owner, Robyn Andrews, who worked with Leith at conferences, and by MUFON Investigator Michael Forte who investigated Leith's research specialist, Frank H
