Solar Warden, a name that evokes intrigue and mystery, has long been a topic of speculation among conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts. In William Mills Tompkins' memoir, Selected By Extraterrestrials: My Life in the Top Secret World of UFOs, Think-tanks and Nordic Secretaries, we find substantial references to this covert naval space fleet. Tompkins provides a detailed account of the origins, development, and operations of Solar Warden, shedding light on what might be one of the most secretive projects in military history.
The Origins of Solar Warden
The concept of Solar Warden was born in the early 1950s within the Douglas Aircraft Company's Think Tank. This group of forward-thinking engineers and scientists was tasked with developing advanced space defense technologies. The initial focus was on creating exploratory missile types with small crews and larger advanced vehicles capable of constructing bases on the Moon and other planets. These missions were part of a broader strategy to establish a robust defense network against potential extraterrestrial threats.
Naval Missions and Spacecraft Development
Tompkins describes his involvement in the design and development of these advanced spacecraft. As the Engineering Section Chief, he was instrumental in conceptualizing dozens of missions and spacecraft for exploratory operations. These included the design of massive advanced vehicles and equatorial launching facilities, as well as multi-staged, advanced rocket trucks intended for constructing large space stations.
The ultimate goal was to create a network of naval bases throughout the solar system. These bases would serve as early warning outposts and defensive strongholds against alien incursions. The Think Tank's studies also included plans for small communication naval satellite stations in Earth orbit, manned stations in the solar system, and large command stations in the Milky Way galaxy.
The Role of TRW and Advanced Communication Systems
A significant component of the Solar Warden initiative was the deployment of sophisticated communication and radar systems. TRW Inc., originally Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc., played a crucial role in this effort. Tompkins recounts the construction and deployment of two Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) II satellite stations by TRW, which covered the Indian and Pacific Oceans. These satellite stations were part of a broader strategy derived from the naval solar system mission studies. They provided critical early warning capabilities and ensured secure communication lines for the naval space fleet.
Challenges and Strategic Importance
The development of Solar Warden was not without its challenges. The program required significant funding and the involvement of highly classified experts. Tompkins highlights the strategic importance of these projects, noting the need for early detection systems and defensive measures against potential alien invasions. The extensive planning and development phases included rigorous testing and deployment of advanced technologies, ensuring that the naval space fleet was equipped to handle any extraterrestrial threat.
Conclusion
Solar Warden, as detailed by William Mills Tompkins, represents a fascinating and controversial chapter in the history of space exploration and defense. His firsthand accounts provide a glimpse into the covert operations and strategic planning involved in establishing a naval space fleet capable of defending Earth from extraterrestrial threats. Whether viewed as science fiction or hidden truth, the narrative of Solar Warden challenges us to reconsider our understanding of space and the ongoing efforts to protect our planet.
