relating to the MJ-12 policies. Besides information going to the CIA, the same information gathered in the field, not necessarily by Navy personnel, is also transmitted to the Navy for analysis.
The Naval research activity responsible for the operational activities of the MJ-12 policy is headquartered at the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC.
The National Security Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency personnel are used to implement the policies of MJ-12.
There are government officials and elected officials who are automatically briefed as to the existence of the MJ-12 projects. These elected officials include, the President, the Vice-President, the Director of Central Intelligence, and the Director of the National Security Agency.
Grudge and Sign
Project Grudge and Project Sign were earlier public forms of Project Blue Book. They were official investigations of UFOs done by the Army Air Force and then the Air Force.
Project Aquarius
Project Aquarius is a general operation, but there are specific sections within Project Aquarius where the received information regarding UFOs is filtered to MJ-12. MJ-12 gets the most secret of the secret. Project Aquarius consisted of some of the following sub programs:
1. TS/ORCON) PROJECT BANDO: (PROWORD: RISK) originally established in 1949. Its mission was to collect and evaluate medical information from the surviving Alien creature and the recovered Alien bodies. This Project medically examined EBE-1 and provided United States medical researchers with certain answers to the evolution theory (OPR: CIA) (Terminated in 1974).
2. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT SIGMA: (PROWORD: MIDNIGHT) originally established as part of Project Gleem in 1954: became a separate project in 1976. Its mission was to establish communication with Aliens. This Project met with positive success, when in 1959, the United States established primitive communications with the Aliens. On April 25, 1964, a USAF intelligence officer met two Aliens at a prearranged location in the desert of New Mexico [Editor's note: This was Stallion range, just north of the Trinity site in NM] The contact lasted for approximately three hours. Based on the Alien's language given to us by EBE, the Air Force officer managed to exchange basic information with the two Aliens. This project is continuing at an Air Force base in New Mexico (OPR: MJ12/NSA).
3. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT SNOWBIRD: (PROWORD: CETUS) originally established in 1972. Its mission was to test fly a recovered alien aircraft. This project is continuing in Nevada (OPR: USAF/NSA/CIA/MJ12).
4. (TS/ORCON) PROJECT POUNCE: (PROWORD: DIXIE) originally established in 1968. Its mission was to evaluate all UFO/IAC information pertaining to space technology. PROJECT POUNCE continues (OPR: NASA/USAF).
As for presidents who knew, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were briefed on the subject of UFOs and the historical aspects of it starting from the early days of the late ‘40s-early ‘50s. President Carter, former Presidents Ford, and Bush and Nixon had all been briefed. All of the presidents were told the top-secret results and not just a generalized: “Look, we’re looking into this situation.”
Public Deception
There are times when you deceive the public and you are doing the public a great service, and I certainly would protect the public with deception operations if it were for their own good. But, some aspects of these UFO investigations that have occurred over the years should not be withheld from the public. The general knowledge that there were aliens who landed on Earth back in the late ‘40s-- early ’50s, and that we have had some type of crude communication with them, should not be kept from the public.
My colleagues and I decided that this was the time (1983–1988) to come forward with information and try to present it in a noteworthy fashion in
