Project Preserve Destiny (PPD)
Project Preserve Destiny (PPD) is described in Dan Sherman’s book “Above Black,” where he recounts his experiences as an airman in the United States Air Force who claims to have been involved in a highly classified program. According to Sherman, PPD was an above Top Secret-level program aimed at establishing communication with extraterrestrial beings known as “Greys,” who were first encountered by the United States in 1947. The program reportedly began after it was discovered in the early 1960s that the U.S. government had been working on ways to communicate with these beings.
The extended period from 1947 to the early 1960s before the initiation of Project Preserve Destiny, following the Roswell UFO incident, can be explained through a combination of scientific, logistical, and bureaucratic challenges. Initially, efforts likely focused on understanding and reverse-engineering any advanced technology that may have been recovered, a process that would require significant breakthroughs in science and technology. Concurrently, establishing communication with extraterrestrials would demand extensive research and the development of novel methods, further extending the timeline. The necessity to create a secure and secretive infrastructure for such a sensitive project, along with navigating the complexities of government and military bureaucracy for approvals and funding, would add to the delay. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era might have led to a prioritization of immediate national security projects over extraterrestrial research. These factors, suggest a multifaceted rationale for the gap between the initial incident and the project’s commencement.
Sherman’s involvement in PPD was supposedly due to his unique genetic makeup, which he claims resulted from his mother being subjected to genetic manipulation by aliens before his birth, making him more receptive to the Greys’ communication methods. He describes his role as an “Intuitive Communicator,” tasked with receiving transmissions from the Greys and passing them on within the Air Force. These communications included what Sherman believed to be latitude and longitude coordinates, among other information.
Throughout his account, Sherman details various aspects of his interactions with the Greys, including philosophical and existential discussions, as well as more mundane topics like their biological functions and societal structures. However, when Sherman inquired about Project Preserve Destiny itself during a communication session, the conversation was abruptly ended, and the nature of the communications he received thereafter changed significantly.
Sherman’s narrative includes themes of secrecy, isolation, and frustration with his role in PPD, culminating in his desire to leave the project and the Air Force. The authenticity of Sherman’s claims and the existence of Project Preserve Destiny as described in his book have not been corroborated by official sources.
