In 1998, UFO Magazine published a strange three-part series written by an apparent pseudonymous author named Greg Halifax. The articles followed a character called Sedge Masters, an intelligence operative recruited into a deeply classified UFO crash-retrieval program known as Zodiac.Across the series, Masters is briefed on alleged recovered craft, non-human bodies, reverse-engineering efforts and a specialized military recovery team whose members return from a mission with ninety minutes of missing time. He is brought in to interrogate the men, investigate what happened during the recovery and gradually descend into a compartmentalized world involving Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, underwater objects, recovered technology and decades of UFO secrecy.For this complete readthrough, I’m reading all three original installments published in:UFO Magazine — May/June 1998, Volume 13, Number 3Featuring “Deep Files Trans ‘X’ Communiqué: Letter to a UFO Recruit”UFO Magazine — September 1998, Volume 13, Number 5UFO Magazine — December 1998, Volume 13, Number 8The articles were presented as fictionalized and largely unverified. However, their significance changed after a leaked 1999 email revealed that physicist Hal Puthoff believed the stories may have been only slightly fictionalized versions of a real source’s experiences preparing records for the archives at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.Whether the Sedge Masters story is fiction, a composite of genuine intelligence accounts, or something deliberately placed between the two remains unknown. This is the complete original story, read exactly as it appeared across the three issues of UFO Magazine.
