The wife of a convicted murderer claims her husband is really a political prisoner whose only crime was threatening to blow the whistle on the truth about alien life.

Jo Ann Richards is telling the world that her husband, Mark Richards, was jailed for threatening to tell the world about a secret underground base in New Mexico that was the site of a human-alien battle.

Mark was previously involved in secret alien space programs before being framed by the government when he threatened to tell the world everything he knew, Jo Ann told the Express.

My husband has been in prison for almost 30 years for something he had nothing to do with.

Jo Ann travels the UFO conference circuit telling the story of her husband, who she says used to work with the government on secret alien research projects. During one such project in 1961, her husband Mark attended an intergalactic gathering in an English castle, where he met hundreds of alien species from all over the galaxy.

She claims Mark met aliens that look exactly like Jurassic Park raptors who have the ability to speak, according to Express.

These originated from the dinosaurs on Earth. Some of them left Earth before the comet came and had occupied another planet.

Later, in 1979, she says Mark led a squadron in the secret underground battle between humans and aliens that took place in Dulce, New Mexico. This alleged battle is legend among UFO believers, but skeptics have been slow to accept its truth.

As the story goes, a group of sinister subterranean aliens were experimenting on hundreds of human people in their underground base when engineers stumbled onto them. Fast responding Green Berets and Special Forces attacked the tall gray aliens and rescued the humans, but not before losing 60 of their number to laser fire, according to the Huffington Post.

Jo Ann says her husband Mark was going to tell the world the truth about alien life on earth, which is why the government locked him away in prison for life.

During his 1982 trial, however, Mark told a somewhat different story. In fact he never even mentioned aliens until 1997, a full 15 years after his conviction.

During his trial Mark Richards was confronted with evidence that suggested he was planning a paramilitary takeover of Marin County to establish the Kingdom of Pendragon, in a case that came to be known as the Camelot murder.

Richards planned to blow up the Golden Gate and Richmond-San Rafael bridges and make himself a king and turn his teen followers into knights. During the trial, however, Richards said those plans were merely research for a sci-fi book he was writing.

One of Richards’ two teen accomplices turned informant during the trial and gave information indicating he had helped Richards kill vintage car restorer Richard Baldwin and dump his body in San Pablo Bay, reports Marinij News.

Now, Mark Richards writes UFO involvement reports from prison, and his wife Jo Ann sells them to alien aficionados at conferences, reports Express.

Jo Ann runs the Earth Defense Headquarters, an educational nonprofit devoted to science that was created to distribute information that might otherwise be forgotten, according to the EDH website.

“My husband was framed for murder he had nothing to do with in 1982 so he would get out of the hair of the New World Order as he would be fighting their efforts at this time.”

What do you think? Was Mark Richards framed by the government for threatening to reveal the truth about aliens?
