Author: Dan Sherman
Reviewed by Theresa Welsh
A former Air Force sergeant says he worked in a secret government program as an
"Intuitive Communicator" in which he received messages from aliens. As if that's
not startling enough, he tells us the reason he was selected was because aliens had
visited his mother while he was still in the womb and given him this ability.
Before rejecting his claim, read his story and then decide.
Have you been seeking proof that aliens exist? Are you wondering if our government is in touch
with aliens from other worlds? Of course, many researchers and book writers have claimed that
it is so, but most of them have been either digging into declassified or "leaked" government
documents or they are working backwards, from accounts of sighted UFOs or what are apparently
abduction cases. A lot of what they offer is convincing, of course, but still leaves you
wondering if the author is correctly interpreting the data. But would you be more convinced
if you got a first-hand report from a former military man who was both genetically-engineered
and trained to "read" alien intuitive communication?
Yes, that sounds pretty fantastic, and Dan Sherman acknowledges that it is hard to believe.
But He says while he was in the US Air Force, he was contacted about becoming an "IC" --
Intuitive Communicator in a top secret project called Project Preserve Destiny (PPD). He was
told he was selected because he had been altered at the time of his birth to have the
capability of communicating with "greys" -- aliens, whom he never actually saw. All
communication with them was mental, but the extreme secrecy of the program and the systematic
training and methods seem consistent with the way the military would go about an alien contact
program. If what Sherman tells us is true, then it leaves little doubt that the US government
is actually in contact with at least one alien culture, and has been for at least forty years
and probably much longer.
Sherman's short book, Above Black, is entirely free online, and provides the best
user interface I've seen for an online book. I was able to read it all at my computer.
The chapters are all small bite-sized chunks you can read in between doing other things,
and Sherman's prose is simple and to-the-point. He leaves no doubt about what happened.
But the bigger question that haunted him was "why?" Sherman was first told about himself
and his ability when he was sent to a new location for special training, then told he would
be doing a second training stint as well. Without much regard for his feelings, he was
informed that he has a special ability, given him because, as his contact put it,
"Sergeant Sherman, in the summer of 1960 your mother was visited by what the world commonly
refers to as aliens." Through "genetic management" he was given the ability to communicate
intuitively, but this ability was dormant without training to awaken it.
Sherman was taken in a van with covered windows to a secret site unknown to him where he
had to enter an elevator (using a bio scan type of security) which took him to a small secret
room where all instruction was through headphones while he sat at a computer that had no mouse.
Instruction began with sound and a matching wave on the screen that he was told to "flatten."
After many sessions, he found he could alter the shape of the line using only his mind.
The lessons progressed to working with only mental impressions, including visuals. He was
told his work would consist of typing the messages he received on a black screen. The words
did not appear on the screen so they could not be viewed by anyone.
Sherman also learned about the "onion effect" in which these extreme secret projects known
as "above black" were hidden inside another (black) secret project and only a few people knew
about the final layer of the onion. Both the above black project and the black project were
classified. Sherman's emotions as he learned these incredible facts ran the gamut from feeling
like he was special to feelings of loneliness because he could not share his experience
with anyone. As he went to new asignments in his public work, he also worked on the PPD
projects. He communicated with two different aliens, whom he called Spock and Bones.
There was a protocol for sending information, which involved strings of numbers,
but later included more understandable text. Sherman tried to figure out the meaning of
the information he received and became convinced some of it had to do with abductions,
but he had no idea why these were being done.
He also found he could switch to a higher level of communication with the aliens and
experimented with asking them questions. They answered some of them, but the answers
were often not understandable. He never learned where they were from or why they were
communcicating with the US government, but they did tell him they had been in touch with
humans for "a long time." Their life span is similar to ours.
Sherman became increasingly anxious about what he was doing and the total lack of answers
from his contacts. When he was told he could never leave the military, he determined to find
a way out, which he eventually did. He does not tell us the method he used, but says it was
a drastic action. He did not want to go on helping a program whose aims and purpose were not
known to him.

What makes Sherman's story credible is that he does not offer up a complete picture of some giant conspiracy. He just tells us his own story, which is a small piece in what is a bigger story that we do not know. This is a tale that cannot be "a little bit true." We must accept it whole cloth or think of a reason Sergeant Sherman would make up such a story. If he was looking for money and fame, he could have made up a story that borrowed more from other reports and he surely would have told us more about the aliens. We cannot be sure this is a true story, but there are no reasons for it being fabricated that make any sense. My only concern is why the military hasn't stopped him from getting the story out -- or is that why he makes the book available free and tells each reader they must pass it on to three more readers? (I'm doing my duty by printing this review). If you are interested in the truth about aliens, I suggest you read this book. Go to Sherman's web site at www.aboveblack.com and check it out.
