I have not had time to read much yet, but it seems a rational site. Since you are Ozzie, you should try to get in contact with Bill Chalker if you haven't already. He is Australia's finest, especially now that Keith Basterfield is "retired". On the subject of this NSA posting. I also have an interest in such matters, but what I've found so far isn't encouraging that they had some formal study project. I have a very good friend who was NSA during the days of all the hullaballoo, and he has told me that the famous intriguing documents came out of essentially "lunch-room" discussions among a few of them who were very interested in UFOs in the 1960s. Tom [Deuley} is both a founder of the Fund for UFO Research and an officer in MUFON and certainly a straight shooter. NSA surely came across things of interest to UFOlogists during all the ELINT Intel they accumulated, but UFOs would have been an impractical distraction to their business. Thank goodness that they didn't have to worry about such matters. A better candidate for a load of still secret UFO materials would be the Navy, which has always been completely uncooperative FOIA-wise, and the USAF itself, which clearly derailed national security cases away from Blue Book and stopped them at Air Defense Command HQ. I can't promise that I'll get back very quickly if you have a "back-question or comment". Maybe you can "wake me up" on my blog if you do.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.com
