Catchers of Heaven

Catchers of Heaven: A Trilogy is a 1996 book by Dr. Michael Wolf (born Kruvant), published by Dorrance Publishing Co. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (ISBN 08059-3907-5), in which Wolf recounts his claimed career as a MJ-12 scientist, diplomat, and liaison to extraterrestrial visitors. The title derives from Wolf's father's name for the Grey extraterrestrials that contacted their family — "catchers of heaven" — a phrase used after the elder Wolf accompanied his son to meetings at Andrews Air Force Base. National Security Council superiors required the book to be presented as fiction, with three separate denials of authenticity at the front; Wolf maintained that its contents were factual testimony about alien-human contact, black-program science, and the UFO cover-up. All royalties were directed to the Daniel Wolf Memorial Foundation for Children, established in memory of his son.

Background and publication history

Wolf began the manuscript in 1953 and circulated an early version before the 1996 revised edition. Fifteen years of negotiation with NSC superiors preceded clearance, granted only on condition of fictional framing and pre-publication review. The fictional wrapper was consistent with Unacknowledged Special Access Program practice; Wolf's academic records had been erased from MIT, McGill University, and other institutions, and his contractor service for the CIA, NSA, and NSC officially expunged. Wolf attributed his decision to publish to the death of his wife and son Daniel in a car-sabotage incident he characterized as a targeted attack, and to his own terminal cancer.

The book traces Wolf's claimed career and contact experiences. Substantive testimony summarized in the book is treated in detail in the dedicated subject articles linked below:

• Wolf's biography and clandestine career — childhood meetings at Andrews Air Force Base with his abductee father; CIA-funded education; multiple advanced degrees (MIT, McGill University, La Sorbonne); Vietnam-era flight surgeon and Federico Fellini film cameo. Main article: Michael Wolf Kruvante
• MJ-12 and the Alphacom Team — Wolf's chairmanship of the Majestic 12 Alphacom Team under code-names "Griffin" and "Nu Kappa Eta"; briefings to Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton; joint US–UK presentations at 10 Downing Street; MJ-12 expansion to 36 members including Henry Kissinger and Edward Teller, meeting at the Battelle Memorial Institute. Main article: Majestic 12
• Research at S-4 and underground facilities — 1972–1977 work alongside extraterrestrials at S-4, Area 51, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Foreign Technology Division, the Dulce Laboratory, and Haystack Air Force Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base. Main article: S-4 (facility)
• Extraterrestrial contacts: Kolta and Anon Sa Ra — front-cover photograph of "KLT" / Kolta (a Reticulian Four Grey whom Wolf hid after a shooting); back-cover photograph of "Prince Anon Sa Ra," a Nordic Pleiadean of "the Federation of Worlds" who told Wolf his flesh and genetic material had been kept in stasis as a psychotronic locator imprint. Main article: Reticulians Main article: Reticulum 4
• The S-4 firefight, 1 May 1975 — confrontation between "guest" Greys and US Blue Beret guards over removal of bullets from a room during an antimatter-reactor demonstration; one Grey, two scientists, and 41 soldiers killed, all human casualties from head wounds with no visible weapon. Main article: 1975 S-4 security incident
• Cloning: the J-Type Omega project — the "Sentinel Project" supersoldier program overseen by a General "Bunting"; an artificially-intelligent human clone named "J-Type Omega" or "J.O.E.," grown in a water tank from Wolf's own DNA, that developed ethics, refused to kill a dog on command, and was secretly allowed to escape after Wolf blew up the project building.
• Scientific claims and reverse-engineered technology — zero-point energy from the quantum vacuum; LEDs, superconductivity, computer chips, fiber optics, lasers, gene-splicing therapy, cloning, night-vision, Stealth, particle beam, aerospace ceramics, and gravity control as ET-derived; ET propulsion as space-time manipulation that "pulls the destination towards" the craft. A large ET beacon object reportedly first spotted by Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard in 1961 and retrieved in 1972 transmitted light, tone signals, and a mathematical language that displayed three-dimensional galaxy imagery to closed-eye observers; Wolf attributed his own and Carl Sagan's cancers to exposure to it. Wolf also described his pioneering "Gateway Treatment" — a procedure for stimulating neurons and forming new synapses to enable telepathic exchange with extraterrestrials, with findings later incorporated into MK-ULTRA.
• The Cabal — a renegade group of extremist, xenophobic military and intelligence officers who, without authorization, commandeered Star Wars weaponry to shoot down UFOs and forcibly interrogate captured extraterrestrials; Wolf attributed cancer attacks on Steven Greer, Col. Steve Wilson, and Shari Adamiak to Cabal psychotronic weapons. Main article: the Cabal
• Alien confederations — the Alliance (Altair Aquila and Pleiades humans), the Corporate (Zeta Reticuli Greys), the Federation of Worlds, and the United Races of Orion; an Above Top Secret UN ruling banning Zetas from public movement; one Grey identifying his origin as "Reticulum 4, the 4th planet of binary star Zeta Reticuli." Main article: Galactic Federation of Worlds
• Cosmological and spiritual themes — arguments against the Big Bang theory and for a new Grand Unified Theory; the claim, attributed by Wolf to a missing page of the Carter ET briefing, that a joint ET–human individual emerged two thousand years ago in the person of Jesus to attempt to end human violence.

Michael Salla later contextualized Wolf's three-faction framework — the Joint Humanoid-Reptile "Corporate" Alliance, the mostly humanoid "Federations of Worlds," and the mostly reptilian "United Races of Orion" — as an early template matching factional divisions described by subsequent insiders including Corey Goode and Elena Danaan.

Paola Harris's investigation

Italian-American journalist Paola Harris, who had previously worked directly with Philip Corso, traveled to Hartford, Connecticut to meet Wolf in person — the only researcher to do so, as Stanton Friedman and Linda Moulton Howe had contacted Wolf only by telephone. Harris found Wolf bedridden with pancreatic cancer and "almost like under house arrest," with a handler present; his bedroom contained government-connected materials, photographs with Federico Fellini, and his academic degrees. Harris visited three times and maintained "two years of non-stop phone calls to Rome," taping his words throughout. Harris's investigation resulted in two car bombings outside her Rome apartment, three months apart, and her car brakes being tampered with in the United States — which she described as the most dangerous case of her career.

After Wolf's death, Canadian researcher Pierre Aban contacted Harris claiming to possess fifty audio tapes of Wolf and recounting that during a visit to Wolf's apartment "two Greys came out of his bedroom" — one of them Kolta, "the Grey that raised Michael" — and sent Harris a photograph of himself and Wolf showing the reflection of a tall Grey above them.

Reception and disclosure context

Catchers of Heaven was first publicized through interviews Wolf gave from 1995 onward, and by 2000 had sold approximately 10,000 copies. Subsequent interviewers included James Courant, Michael Hesemann, Steven Greer, Art Bell, and Bruce Burgess. A detailed review appeared in Nexus Magazine (Vol. 4, No. 6), and Richard Boylan's 1998 Nexus article (Vol. 5, No. 3) provided expanded disclosures beyond the book. Chris Stonor's October 2000 organized summary, read and approved by Wolf before his death on 18 September 2000, framed the fictional packaging as an NSC condition.

Neil Gould's 2010 review for the Exopolitics Institute News Service called the book credible on the basis that Wolf — a dying man directing proceeds to charity — had no financial motive to fabricate, and noted his consistent command of technical vocabulary across multiple disciplines. Michael Salla identified Wolf as the first insider to publicly claim involvement in cloning within classified programs. Wolf was working on a sequel, Bright White Light Quartet, at the time of his death. Harris later grouped Wolf alongside Philip Corso, Clifford Stone, and Robert Dean as "military people that come out and tell the truth."
