Boeing is a major American aerospace, defence, and space manufacturer whose personnel, aircraft, and internal projects recur across UAP-related testimony and Cold War-era space imagery. Ken Johnston was a Boeing engineer and licensed pilot at the time he met Richard C. Hoagland.¹ One of the company’s most discussed artefacts in this context is a 1989 poster, commissioned by Boeing, depicting National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronauts ascending The Cliff (Cydonia) and encountering artificial ruins.² According to Dark Mission, Dave Bara, brother of one of the book’s authors, came across a copy of the 1989 White House Mars Exploration Program poster (Boeing) in a vacated office area of Boeing’s Renton, Washington facility in 1997.³ The commission reached artist Paul Hudson, then working for Boeing, through President George Herbert Walker Bush’s office via Boeing Aerospace around 1985.⁴ Hudson submitted rough concept drawings through Boeing, which were accepted, and went on to complete the painting.⁵ Mike Bara later wrote to Hudson asking about the poster, noting that a version used by the Planetary Society had the artificial ruins removed as the organisation felt they were inappropriate.⁶

Hudson has said Boeing was told not to distribute the poster at trade shows, and that no one knew what became of the original painting or the posters themselves.⁷ He has also said the image has since been used to support claims about George Herbert Walker Bush’s alleged Nazi heritage and Masonic membership, including the assertion that he wanted to send men to Mars to return “the Brotherhood” to the ancestral territory of the Aryan race.⁸ Hudson has stated that Masonic symbols are present in the painting but, if such theories carry any credence, that they were included by accident or without his knowledge.⁹ He has also said an apparent depiction of a black man among a stack of pillars in the painting was intentional.¹⁰ Bara has said he considers it improbable that Hudson would not have noticed the Masonic symbols in a painting he made himself.¹¹ Bara has also said Hudson seemed anxious to dispel any notion that the Bush administration supported the poster’s creation, despite Hudson having submitted a detailed proposal before starting the work.¹² Separately, by March 2006 all signs pointed to Northrop Grumman and Boeing winning the initial Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) contract.¹³

Boeing anthropologist William Blair observed that the Blair Cuspids displayed a series of contextual, geometric relationships to one another.¹⁴ According to Dark Mission, a Boeing study found that only about one-third of the population is able to mentally rotate two-dimensional images and perceive the three-dimensional geometric structures within them.¹⁵

Boeing’s conventional defence work also features in UAP-related testimony. Boeing was planning to redesign the pilot’s display in the F/A-18F Super Hornet.¹⁶ After completing his first Super Hornet cruise, David Fravor visited the Boeing factory in St Louis, Missouri, where his squadron’s new Super Hornets were being built,¹⁷ and signed the inside of a wing while one of the aircraft was being assembled.¹⁸ Fravor has said he considers Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing to be the “big three” companies in the US defence industry,¹⁹ and has also said he regards Elon Musk’s SpaceX as having delivered a project Boeing had been contracted to do, in less time and for half the cost.²⁰

Luis Elizondo’s primary counterintelligence role was to protect sensitive, top-secret technology at major defence contractors, including TRW Inc., Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed, from foreign intelligence targeting.²¹ Elizondo’s own office, in a Pentagon-rented building in Arlington, Virginia, also housed departments of Boeing Aerospace, including Boeing Phantom Works,²² the division charged with developing the company’s future technology.²³ Elizondo has said senior officials named Lockheed Martin, TRW, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE Systems, and the Aerospace Corporation as companies involved in the Legacy Program, a programme to retrieve and reverse-engineer crash materials.²⁴

Ryan Graves has said that during the 2003 Vandenberg Air Force Base Unidentified Aerial Phenomena / Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) incident, a large group of Boeing contractors near a launch facility observed an approximately 90-metre red square object approach the base from the ocean and hover at low altitude over one of the launch facilities.²⁵ He has said the information came from a witness and that he has no further detail on that person’s relationship to the contractors involved.²⁶ Separately, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) developed the RQ-3 Dark Star unmanned aircraft in the mid-to-late 1990s.²⁷

A 1989 poster commissioned by Boeing depicted NASA astronauts ascending a cliff and finding artificial ruins.
“The poster had been commissioned by the Boeing Company and designed, as all such materials are, to raise awareness and inspire enthusiasm for a given program. In this case, the artists saw fit to inspire their workers and the public by creating a depiction of NASA astronauts ascending a cliff (perhaps the Cliff, as there is a suspiciously "Face-like" edifice in the background) and encountering nothing less than clearly artificial ruins”
Dark Mission ch19:14127-14565
Dave Bara found a copy of the poster in a vacated Boeing office in Renton, Washington, in 1997.
“In 1997, the brother of one of the authors, Dave Bara, was walking through an office area of the Boeing Company in Renton, Washington, which had just been vacated by a relocated organization. On the wall of an abandoned cubicle, he spotted a poster that he instantly knew to be highly significant. It was from the 1989 White House Mars Exploration Program proposed by then-President Bush.”
Dark Mission ch19:13738-14121
The poster commission reached Paul Hudson, then a Boeing employee, via Boeing Aerospace and President Bush's office around 1985.
“The commission for the painting came through the President's [George Herbert Walker Bush] office via Boeing Aerospace, with whom I was working for at the time (1985 or so?)”
Dark Mission ch5:25600-25768
Hudson's concept drawings were accepted through Boeing and he completed the painting.
“I submitted the rough concept drawings through Boeing, was accepted, and continued on to finish the painting as you see in the poster.”
Dark Mission ch5:26170-26297
Mike Bara asked Hudson about the poster and noted the Planetary Society's version had the ruins removed.
“I've even seen a version of this poster used by the Planetary Society but with the artifacts removed, because they felt it wasn't "appropriate."”
Dark Mission ch5:24539-24670
Hudson said Boeing withheld the poster from trade shows and the original's fate was unknown.
“as far as I was told, no one knew what ever became of the original painting or all of the posters (again, if I remember correctly, Boeing was told not to give the posters out at any of the numerable trade shows)”
Dark Mission ch5:27205-27410
Hudson said the poster has been used to support claims about Bush's alleged Nazi heritage and Masonic ties.
“it has come to my attention that the image is used to bolster claims of the President's Nazi heritage, and that, being both a Mason and a Nazi, the only reason he wanted to send men to Mars was to return the Brotherhood back to the old stomping grounds of the Aryan race”
Dark Mission ch5:27577-27843
Hudson said the painting contains Masonic symbols, included accidentally or without his knowledge.
“Apparently there are quite a few Masonic symbols embedded in the painting as well... if there is any credence to these theories, they were quite by accident, or entirely without my knowing.”
Dark Mission ch5:27920-28129
Hudson confirmed a depicted black man among the painting's pillars was intentional.
“We had one further communication regarding the apparent image of a black man in the stack of pillars in the painting, and he confirmed that the ethnic take was intentional.”
Dark Mission ch5:28441-28601
Bara doubted Hudson could have missed the Masonic symbols in his own painting.
“I found it fascinating that he volunteered information about Masonic symbols on his own work, which he denied knowing were there. It seems improbable that he didn't notice them; after all, he painted them.”
Dark Mission ch5:28754-28954
Bara said Hudson seemed anxious to deny Bush administration backing despite submitting a detailed proposal.
“He seemed anxious to dispel any notion that the Bush administration supported his work, even though he submitted a detailed proposal before starting the actual painting.”
